Chapter 7 One man and one sword, against a group of cavalry

As soon as Lu Wu heard that Wei Xiaoyong was a cavalry captain from Bingzhou County, his expression became much colder, and he only bowed slightly, which could be regarded as a return salute to the young general.

Not for anything else, the Tao is different, not for each other.

Four years ago, King Zhao of the Gale Dynasty stole out of Xijing and returned to the fiefdom, raising troops on the "Qing Jun side", for some reason, he actually abolished Emperor Wen and the crown prince, and became the emperor himself, turning himself from a righteous teacher to a traitor.

The good times didn't last long, and in less than three months, they were defeated by the "Four Kings Army" who rushed to King Qin, and King Xuanyuan Li of Zhao was killed and annihilated, and he also got the reputation of "a rebellious minister and thief who disturbed the world".

Although Emperor Wen was welcomed back, but the Gale Dynasty was no longer the unified and stable dynasty it was at the beginning, the four princes of King Qin, the King of the East China Sea occupied the land of the five eastern states, supervised the Chinese and foreign military, controlled Los Angeles remotely, and became the first king of the world.

The king of Chu is based on Jing and Jiao Erzhou, and on the surface, the king of the East China Sea is the head of the horse.

King Langya occupies the three southeastern states, favoring the side of peace.

The king of Chengdu occupied the four states of Bashu and became a veritable king of Shu.

At this time, the Tuoba clan of the Rong tribe in the desert in the north took advantage of the chaos to go south, and the Xuanjia cavalry invaded Xijing and established the Rong State, which became a big trouble for the Dafeng Dynasty.

The Jiang clan in Longxi also occupies the three prefectures of Liang, Su and Gan, and is known as the Yan State.

There are also some foreign races, all of whom are also asking for the fragrant wind, and they all want to come to take a bite of the rich Gale Dynasty.

But the biggest disaster lies in the interior of the Gale Dynasty, where the county governors of various places, nominally vassal to Emperor Wen of Los Angeles, in essence, each dominate one side and become self-respecting princes.

The court has been in chaos, the Shilin has been in chaos, and the rivers and lakes are even more chaotic.

Bingzhou was the northern border of the Gale Dynasty, and since it was the connection point between Middle-earth Shenzhou and the desert, its strategic location was extremely important.

Since the establishment of the Gale Dynasty, there has been a constant war with the Shangrong people in the desert, and the state has been stationed in the northern outpost of the Gale Dynasty, and the state has always served as the general of Zhenbei at the same time, commanding the army to fight against the Yuwen Department on the desert.

When the wind was strong, the army of the imperial court once went deep into the desert and drove the troublemakers to Mobei, and the big war against the Rong people was commanded by Xu He, who was the assassin of the state at the time, so that Liu He's reputation was greatly enhanced.

Four years ago, several princes of the Gale Dynasty with heavy troops provoked war, which put the magnificent edifice of the Gale Dynasty into a stormy situation.

The Rong tribe, who had been driven to Mobei, found the right time and took the opportunity to go south, and the Tuoba clan in the Rong clan invaded Guanzhong and established the Rong State. The footprints of the Ubunbu Ranger Cavalry reappeared on the border of the state.

At this time, no one in the imperial court has come to pay attention to the northern border, and the heavy task of blocking the cavalry of the Yuwen Department to the south has all fallen on the body of the Yuwen Department and Liu Heren, more than two years of uninterrupted battles with the Yuwen Ministry, the small and the state are poor, and more than 20,000 of the Bingzhou army are also killed and wounded, and in desperation, Liu He changed his strategy.

On a snowy night, Liu He suddenly sent the remaining Bingzhou cavalry to attack Shuozhou, which was connected to Bingzhou, overnight, occupied Shuozhou City like lightning, and proclaimed himself the governor of the two states, merging Bingzhou and Shuozhou together.

Next, Liu He sent people to get in touch with the Ministry of Yuwen and reached an agreement, the specific conditions of the alliance were only known to a few of Liu He's cronies, and since then, the front line of Bingzhou has returned to calm.

Zhao Yi, who was the infantry captain of the Bingzhou Army at the time, was one of Liu He's cronies, and after he learned that Liu He had reached an alliance with the Yuwen Ministry, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Liu He's actions on the spot, and also stated to Liu He many times that the interests and interests were righteous, but they were all opposed by Liu He.

In the end, Liu He's vigilance was aroused, and Zhao Yi had to flee from Bingzhou, which had been fighting for three years, and left the group of brothers who had been born and died with him for more than three years.

Lu Wu, as a close confidant of Emperor Wen, hated the heroes like Liu He, who supported the army and respected themselves, and thought that they were the root cause of the world's troubles.

Wei Xiaoyong naturally didn't know what Lu Wu was thinking, Liu He ordered him to lead a hundred Xiao cavalry troops and rush to Liangzhou in the starry night, the task was to bring the team of homeless people led by Lu Wu back to Shuozhou, and told him that even if something happened, he would bring the Lu father and daughter back to Shuozhou no matter what.

Wei Xiaoyong knew that Lu Wu was once a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and he was a well-educated person, whether in the temple or in the Shilin, he had a very high reputation.

But this is not the most important thing, the Lu clan is a big family in the Central Plains and has a lot of influence, although the Xuanjia cavalry of the Rong State is in front of him, Wei Xiaoyong does not dare to slack off Lu Wu, and still maintains a few weeks of courtesy.

When accepting this task, Liu He said to Wei Xiaoyong that now it is not only his side that wants to win over Lu Wu, the two largest forces are the Rong State in the south and the Jiang clan in the northwest, as for the other Wubao forces and Jianghu forces, it did not make Liu He too worried.

Looking at the situation in the valley, Rong Guo has already taken the lead.

Lu Wu retreated to the homeless team with the support of Lu Qingxin, Jiang Wenyu had already put away the knife, followed the Lu father and daughter, and encountered two interceptions in succession, Jiang Wenyu had already seen that Lu Wu's identity was unusual, and now another team of people has arrived, and things are getting more and more complicated and lively.

This group of homeless people was already in a desperate situation, and the new team of people and horses broke in, and it seemed to be aimed at the cavalry of the Rong State, and the hope was rekindled in the hearts of this homeless people.

Concubine Rong Guoyan on the mountain beam on the left has not moved her body all the time, and her attention at this time is not in the valley, but in the northwest, where a powerful aura has appeared.

It is also a saint realm, for an onmyoji who can control the vitality of the five elements, Concubine Yan can feel what Lu Wu can't feel.

One is watching from the sidelines, the other is focusing on the other.

As a result, for the battle between the two squads of cavalry in the valley that was about to break out, the two great masters of the Saint Realm chose to remain silent.

The two teams of cavalry in the valley, from the moment they met, were like two fierce tigers meeting, and they were already grinding their claws, ready to deal a fatal blow to each other.

After Wei Xiaoyong finished greeting Lu Wu, all his attention was on the body of the Xuanjia dead soldiers of the Rong State, and the cavalry of the Yuwen Department on the desert fought for several years, Wei Xiaoyong has a deep understanding of the strength and characteristics of the cavalry, and the Rong cavalry in front of him is better than the royal court forbidden army of the Yuwen Department, and it is said that the Mobei Dragon Horse that sits down is the Yuwen Department that gallops in the desert, and only Shan Yu's personal guards are qualified to equip it.

The Xuanjia dead soldier of the Rong country, he had heard of it before, but he had never encountered it, this time he met it in this nameless valley, for Wei Xiaoyong, who had been fighting on the battlefield for half his life, what was born in his heart was not fear, but the excitement of the blood, just like a martial idiot, what he most longed for was to have a showdown with the world's first master, as for life and death, he didn't care at all.

Wei Xiaoyong slowly pulled out the long sword at his waist.

The valley was silent, and a strong depressing aura permeated the air, even Jiang Wenyu, who had never left the saddle with a small knife, also had a dignified face, and he had absolute confidence in his own Jiang cavalry, and when he saw the duel between these two small groups of cavalry, he couldn't help but be moved.

With a wave of the long sword in Wei Xiaoyong's hand, a hundred horsemen suddenly launched, he took the lead, and the entire cavalry team shot like a giant arrow from the string towards the Xuanjia dead soldiers of the Rong Kingdom.

Almost at the same time, the Xuanjia dead soldiers of the Rong Kingdom also began to move, they were originally facing the ranks of the homeless people, even after the arrival of the cavalry led by Wei Xiaoyong, they have not changed their formation.

With a wave of the armor-piercing knife in the hand of the centurion in the lead, he pulled the reins hard, and the horse's head turned sharply to the right and began to trot.

The Xuanjia dead soldier behind him was the same as him, and he also turned the head of the horse that sat down, and followed closely behind, and in less than twenty steps, the fifty cavalry team completed the transformation of the shock formation, and then suddenly accelerated, like a sharp impact spear, stabbing at the same rushing Bingzhou cavalry.

The real sword facing each other, without a trace of fancy, both sides seem to be intentional, choosing the most direct and effective way to test the strength of the cavalry, directly confronting the opponent's cavalry.

The sword in Wei Xiaoyong's hand collided with the armor-piercing knife in the hand of the centurion of the Rong Kingdom, and both of them turned sideways to avoid each other's backhands and rushed towards the soldiers behind them.

The entire battlefield was filled with roars, swords colliding, and the dull sound of swords stabbing through the body, and when the two teams of cavalry switched places, the strength of both sides was immediately revealed.

In the first round of collision, the Xuanjia dead soldiers of the Rong State lost less than ten, while the Bingzhou cavalry paid more than twice the price for it, and the strength of the two teams of cavalry was judged.

Both sides did not stop there, but immediately organized a new round of attacks, just like two martial arts masters facing each other in the ring, as long as one side did not fall, this battle will not stop, not to mention that unlike the battle ring, these two teams of cavalry are a life-and-death battle, and they will never die.

As spectators, the displaced people gathered on the right side of the valley all watched nervously as the two armies battled, they still maintained the formation of young and strong swords guarding in front, blocking the old and weak women and children behind them, and some simple living materials were also protected, and the precious war horses that were robbed yesterday, except for a few lost, were also guarded.

Lu Qingxin didn't pay attention to the cavalry battle in the valley, she was busy shuttling in the homeless team, bandaging the wounds of the wounded, Jiang Wenyu naturally followed her, but this time most of his attention was on the charging of the two teams of cavalry.

Men have a natural interest in fighting.

On the mountain beam on the right side of the valley, in a hidden dry grass, there were two figures, one with a handsome face but a cold face, and the other with a handsome face but a nervous face, it was Zhao Yi and Cui Shusheng.

They arrived one step ahead of Wei Xiaoyong, and had been lurking in the grass on the mountain beams, secretly watching everything that happened in the valley.

Cui Shusheng was completely suppressed by the charging formation of the two teams of cavalry, the son-in-law who grew up in the gentle township of Jiangnan, who had seen such a bloody fight, he couldn't help but tremble, and Zhao Yi on the side gently patted him on the shoulder.

Although there is no shortage of descriptions of murder and bloodshed in the books, when he is immersed in the scene, it is a different feeling, which once again makes him understand the gap between books and reality.

When Cui Shusheng turned his head to look at Zhao Yi, he saw that his face was calm and waveless, and in a pair of clear eyes, there was no excitement or nervousness, as if the two armies in front of him were rushing to kill, for him, he was just watching a scene of two armies fighting.

Cui Shusheng, who has always been quite high-spirited, couldn't help but feel a little admiration for this peer in his heart, and strengthened his previous thoughts.

After the fifth round of killing, the battlefield in the valley of two hundred paces was already full of bloody corpses, and some of the horses that had lost their masters fled the battlefield, and some stood in the middle of the battlefield, arching the corpses on the ground with their mouths, as if urging the masters of the ground to quickly get up and continue the battle.

There are still more than twenty dead soldiers left in the Xuanjia of the Rong Kingdom, and the centurion who leans on the horse at the forefront is infected with dark red blood, there are his own, but more of them are the other party's, there is a shocking wound on his left cheek, the flesh is turned over, hideous and terrifying, but his eyes are still as firm as the armor-piercing knife in his hand.

On the side of the state soldiers, it was much more miserable, Wei Xiaoyong only had a few miserable horses behind him, and they were all covered with colors, even Wei Xiaoyong was covered in injuries, and he could still sit on horseback at this moment, completely supported by his will honed in the battlefield for many years.

One hundred horsemen against fifty horsemen, ending in complete defeat.

Zhao Yi, who was lying on the mountain beam on the right, moved, like a latent tiger, suddenly burst out of the grass, and a rise and fall came to the front of the two armies of the battle, he stood in a pool of blood with two feet, his back to Wei Xiaoyong, and faced the dead soldiers of the Rong State Xuanjia in the distance.

Jiang Wenyu, who was helping Lu Qingxin in the homeless team, suddenly saw Zhao Yi appear, and was overjoyed, and he couldn't care about Lu Qingxin beside him, put down the work in his hand, ran a few steps forward, and shouted loudly: "Zhao Yi!"

Cui Shusheng was one step behind Zhao Yi, and after descending the mountain beam, he came to Jiang Wenyu's side and stood side by side with him, staring at Zhao Yi in the battlefield with two eyes.

"Scholar, why are you back again?" Jiang Wenyu punched Cui Shusheng.

Cui Shusheng looked at Zhao Yi intently, and said, "Zhao Yi guessed that you would be in danger, and everything turned back." ”

"What a good brother!" Jiang Wenyu slapped Cui Shusheng hard, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Yi.

Lu Wu, who was in the ranks of the displaced people, suddenly changed his face, and hurriedly looked up at the colorful figure standing there on the mountain beam on the left, and he had disappeared, Zhao Yi's sudden appearance just now attracted his attention, and Concubine Rong Guoyan on the mountain beam should have disappeared at that moment.

Lu Wu's eyebrows jumped, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore, he went to look at Zhao Yi standing between the two armies again, and finally shook his head and sighed softly.

What a stubborn child.

Lu Qingxin, who was helping the displaced people to bandage their wounds, also stood up and looked at the battlefield, the not very strong figure in the pile of corpses was not familiar to her at all, she saw that the short sword given to him was inserted into his waist, Lu Qingxin frowned slightly, and his eyes were complicated.

For a moment, everyone's eyes in the valley were fixed on the figure in the battlefield.

"Your master is gone, so go with you. Zhao Yi looked at the centurion and said loudly.

The centurion chuckled, and his already hideous and terrifying face looked even more thrilling.

"There are only two scenarios for the Xuanjia Dead to leave its battlefield, either to defeat the enemy and leave victoriously, or to be completely annihilated. ”

Zhao Yi nodded, didn't say anything more, he bent down and picked up an armor-piercing knife from the ground, weighed it in his hand, and then slowly raised it, the direction of the tip of the knife was the centurion of the Rong Kingdom.

One man and one sword, exuding the momentum of a team of cavalry.

"General Zhao!" Wei Xiaoyong shouted.

Since Zhao Yi appeared on the battlefield, Wei Xiaoyong looked at the not very strong figure with an excited face, and at this moment, seeing Zhao Yi raise his sword to meet the enemy, the familiar feeling of the past instantly came to his heart, and he couldn't help but blurt out.

Zhao Yi didn't look back, and said in a relaxed tone: "Wei Xiaoyong, your life belongs to me, and I want you to live well now." ”
