Chapter 13: Riverrun
Andrew was surrounded in the middle, and said anxiously to Feng Chenyang: "Feng Chenyang, do something." He held Jiya's hand, the little girl trembled slightly, Andrew knew that she was afraid, and he was even more afraid.
Feng Chenyang ignored him, he knew that his comrades were waiting for his orders, he had to keep calm and launch a sharp charge at the best time, the opponent's iron armor was bulky and he must be slow to react, and the dragoon's Pi Kai would definitely not be sewn for defense, he secretly calculated every step in his heart. The attack must be swift and crushed in one fell swoop, he doesn't know how many men and horses are still waiting for them in the city, he must give himself time to escape.
The general of the escort army did not give the order to attack, which was completely different from the stragglers he had seen before, the other party did not show a trace of panic under the weak troops, and the formation held the guns in one go, and the actions were uniform, he was even shocked by the momentum of the other party, and did not dare to give the order to attack easily.
Seeing that the young cavalry were surrounded in the middle, maintaining the offensive position under the weak forces, he suddenly realized that the initiative of the battle from beginning to end was in their hands. And his subordinates are like prey to be slaughtered, and they have no power to parry at all. In his mind, the slaughter was about to begin, how could the dragoons be here? They kept the two dwarves in the middle, fighting to the death, for what? He had a lot of doubts to solve, he couldn't make things worse.
Dusty quietly watching everything around him, he held the rusty spear in his hand, just enough weight for his strength that even rusty could inflict fatal damage. The pitch-black body of the spear is carved with a sinuous dragon body, the dragon scales are engraved with all kinds of strange runes, the head of the spear is carved where the gun head is connected to the body of the spear, and the dragon's mouth angrily exhorts a rusty spear edge.
"General Xuan's order, the escort army collects its troops and returns to the camp! General Xuan's order, the escort army collects its troops and returns to the camp!" The herald galloped over with a command flag.
The escort withdrew from the battlefield in an orderly manner, leaving behind the young knights with stunned faces, who cast puzzled eyes on Feng Chenyang. Feng Chenyang was also at a loss, he walked to the soldier who gave the porridge, stretched out his hand to scoop a spoonful of gruel, tasted it carefully, and a "poof" sound spewed out, and he turned around and faced his cavalry. "You won't want to drink!"
The knights were already hungry and thirsty, and they devoured whatever the taste. In times of desperation, people often cease to be individuals, and dignity and self-esteem are not enough. The knights who had finished drinking the gruel looked at the various maggots and flies floating in the porridge, and their stomachs were tumbling, and there was a sound of vomiting everywhere.
A knight of the Guardian Army galloped over quickly and shouted from afar: "Generals, the immortal general is invited." ”
In a building in Riverrun, an old man in heavy armor stood in the center of the room, in his fifties, his beard had turned gray, his dark eyes always revealed his undoubted majesty, and the bun on the top of his head was wrapped in a crimson silk handkerchief. The room was small, but it was neat and bright, and the furnishings were extremely simple, and on the clean red oak square table was a rustic broad-leaved long sword, and the blade was faintly flowing with cold light.
Behind the old man, there stood a young man, in his twenties, with a clean and fair face revealing a trace of perseverance, and a dark and deep gaze, with a touch of sadness.
"Did you let them into the city?" the old man's voice was low and powerful.
"Yes, teacher, there are more than a hundred dragoons protecting them, and even now, there is no capital to provoke the dragoons. The boy responded cautiously.
"Will they want to make a deal with the Immortal? In this way, our whereabouts have been exposed. The old man slammed his fist on the table, and the long sword on the table was shocked and flew up.
"So Yin Li, your time is running out. A voice floated in, shrill and piercing, as if it were coming from deep underground.
A smell of decay spread through the house, and the young man's sword was unsheathed, glaring at the visitor.
At some point, there was a man standing in the corner, and it was an old man, hunched over his waist, completely wrapped around his body in a pitch-black robe, and the pointed hat of the robe stood up, which was strange and terrifying, and he hid his head in the darkness of the brim.
Yin Li still didn't move, the smell in the air made him a little disgusted, and he frowned. "A person who has not seen the light is also worthy to meddle in the affairs of a swordsman. Disdain jumped on his face.
"We're here to work together, you're the only leader among the swordsmen, and it seems that your students aren't ready to take over. The dwarves have discovered your intentions, and I am afraid that they are ready, and now the possibility of the dragoons being involved cannot be ruled out, how credible can the guarantee of immortality be? If Commander Yin is defeated this time, then the swordsman organization will no longer exist!" the ghostly voice of the old man came from the black robe.
Yin Li looked back at the slightly immature student, the black-robed old man was disgusting, but he was telling the truth, there was a dangerous aura everywhere, his face became solemn and fell into deep thought.
Andrew's front was full of delicacies, he had never seen such delicacies, and he didn't know how to eat it for a while, Jiya sat next to him with a hesitant face, and his two little hands didn't know how to place it.
Seeing that although his face was pale, he revealed an innate arrogance and majesty, with a pure and beautiful maidservant by his side, and was protected by the world-famous dragoons, he must be a great character, and he naturally treated him like a guest.
Feng Chenyang and the others sat in the courtyard in the distance, although the food on the table was delicious, it was much simpler, and he roared dissatisfiedly, "You are relatives? He slammed the chopsticks on the ground.
The knights hadn't eaten a normal meal for a long time, and when they ate and drank, they were immediately deflated when they saw it. "Hey!hey!hey!leave some for Lao Tzu!" He shoved a chicken leg into his mouth and looked at Andrew viciously.
Ji Ya smiled dumbly, she got up and picked up a large plate of roast lamb leg in front of her and walked out, gently placing it in front of Feng Chenyang. When she turned to leave, "Wait" Feng Chenyang stopped her, he took out a light yellow silk handkerchief from his arms, the silk handkerchief was already broken, Feng Chenyang carefully opened the silk handkerchief, and a bright red ribbon was revealed, which was tied to the hair of the Daliang girls, this color is the color that everyone likes, the ribbon is made of good silk, soft and gorgeous, he gently placed the ribbon in Ji Ya's palm, like placing an extremely valuable thing. "A friend of mine left behind, and she's as pretty as you are. He paused, "Maybe never again!" A trace of sadness crept up on his young face.
