Draw the sword four

The summer dusk is beautiful, Chen hangyan lies on the hillside, squinting at the sunset in the sky. In the northern sky, there were faint yellow clouds, which were the smoke and dust brought up by the large group of people and horses.

Chen Hangyan spit out the straw stick in his mouth, stood up unhurriedly, and walked to the war horse grazing beside him. The fat and sturdy three hippos snorted softly and rubbed their heads against their master's shoulders.

In the end, it is a war horse, much better than the original inferior goods in his army who pulled carts, and there is no tension at all when he is about to fight. If it had been the same guy who pulled the cart from the farmhouse, he would have started screaming by now. Chen patted the horse's head lovingly, and looked at the horse's autumn-like eyes.

The war horse is like a human being, constantly touching him with his neck, informing him that someone is approaching and needs to be killed.

"Don't worry, there will be a time for you to have fun later", Chen Hanging eyes patted the horse's head, as if comforting a naughty baby. On the hillside, soldiers stood up one after another and pressed under their mounts. His eyes were fixed on the flat land ahead, down the hillside, outside the woods.

There were no crops growing on that flat land. The owner of the land must have died in the massacre of the Mongols, and in the stubble of wheat harvested in some unknown year, wild wheat grew wildly. The new spikes have begun to fill the grain, and together with the weeds, they look a little dazzling and a little desolate.

On the edge of the flat ground is an official road, and there are no traces of horses. The stones shone pale in the sunlight.

All traces that could attract people's attention were carefully erased by Chen Hangyan's faction. They were born as bandits, and robbery is an old profession.

But now, they are an elite, and in the whole of Jiangnan, there is no second such team. I can't even find it in Lord Wen's army of captives. Chen Hangyan thought proudly. These thousand war horses were given to him by Wen Tianxiang. From the moment he left Shao Wu, Chen Hangyan decided to repay Wen Tianxiang's kindness.

He Chen Ju is not a man who does not repay his kindness, and neither are the eighteen brothers behind him. Everyone originally lived a life where the sky was not harvested and the earth was not collected, and the magistrates of the Great Song Dynasty were helpless against these heroes who gathered in the Wuthering Mountains. But when the Mongols came, everything changed. That hated Great Song court was now an ally, though they were as incorrigible as ever.

Everyone is unwilling to be a slave, not to the Zhao family, nor to the Mongols. If someone is willing to treat everyone as a friend, everyone should do their friend's righteousness. The logic of Jianghu is very simple and straightforward.

It's a pity that Wen Tianxiang is a member of the official family, otherwise Chen Ju would be willing to gallop for him. Chen Hangyan sighed, held down the saddle, turned over and stepped onto the war horse.

The earth began to tremble slightly, and a group of Northern Yuan cavalry roared past the woods.

The horses pricked up their ears alertly, and their hooves dug a few pits in the grass. Chen Hangyan gently patted the horse's neck, soothing the horse's emotions. What happened just now was just a pathfinder, and it wasn't worth everyone's help. What he was waiting for was a big fish in the back.

Behind the bushes, a few miscellaneous trees moved. Under the straw hat, Cui Laoba quietly turned around. Seeing that Chen Hangyan didn't say anything, he lowered his head again. The bowstring was tightened and quietly put back into its original position.

"Squeak-squeak", "squeak-squeak", one after another crickets sounded behind the bushes, and all the shaking bushes were silent. On the side of the stone road, the smoke and dust brought up by the cavalry dissipated, and it returned to its original loneliness and desolation.

Before sunset, the team could reach Xunzhou City, and the Han army Wanhu Wuxiu was very satisfied with the speed of the grain team. Two days later, he could hand over the grain to the pick-up men sent by Dachun at the border of Xunzhou, and the escort mission would be completed. Although this task of urging grain and grass cannot be accomplished, it is rich in oil and water. Along the way, officials from all over the country ushered in the send-off, and the pockets of themselves and several lieutenants were very bulging. After following the Mongols for so long, I made a fortune quickly on this trip.

Wu Xiu doesn't like to fight, he knows that he is Han, and when he can fight with the Han people without going into battle, he never takes the initiative to ask for help. So he has been in the role of a grain officer.

As long as he can't see the blood on the battlefield, his heart will be much more peaceful.

As for how Dachun in front of him extinguished the last hope of the Han people to restore the country, Wu Xiu didn't have time or heart to think about it. He and several lieutenants were Han Chinese, but they did not belong to the Great Song Dynasty. Specifically, after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, they had been abandoned by the Han Chinese state. First to Da Liao, then to Liu Yu, then to Dajin, to Mongolia, every thirty or fifty years to change the owner, has been exchanged for forgetting the blood inherited from their ancestors.

"The Mongol army is stationed in He, Luo, and Shandong, according to the heart of the world, and the Han army and Tanmachi are based on the south of the Han River, and the South China Sea is exhausted, and the new annexed army is also intermittent", Emperor Dayuan divided the relatives and estrangement of the soldiers under his command in this way. Although the Han army was not as well paid as the Mongol army, at least its status in the eyes of the emperor was on an equal footing with the Tanma Red Army.

In fact, it doesn't matter how low the status is, it's best to be able to mix in a comfort place. Just like those new annexes who surrendered, be a local ambassador of consolation, and stay forever for generations. Although I have to nod my head when I see the Mongolians, there are many Mongolians in the whole world. When the Mongols are gone, the consolation envoy is the uncle, close the city gates, and do whatever he wants.

In this way, it is good for everyone. Wu Xiu thought with squinted eyes.

I can be like Chen Yan and pacify the place. Let the brothers settle down as soon as possible, and they will not have to follow the Mongols every day.

I've been fighting for hundreds of years, and I'm not tired enough. What's the use of grabbing such a large territory? When people die, it's not a palm-sized cemetery. It's better to have fun in time and have a happy day.

Suddenly, a piercing scream interrupted Wu Xiu's daydream. Looking back, a puff of smoke rose from the rear of the team, and dozens of fast horses broke into the grain team. The big man on horseback slashed his knife like a windmill and harvested the lives of the Han army.

Misunderstand! Misunderstand! Someone shouted loudly. They saw the marks of the Mongol army on the horses of the warhorses. Before they could finish shouting, the saber was already cut close.

The cold light flashed, and the unknown centurion of the Han army fell to the ground.

"Array to meet the enemy, array of guns", Wu Xiu heard his own broken voice. Suddenly, he remembered the rumors on the road recently, Wen Tianxiang's Broken Army surrounded and annihilated more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in Page, and thousands of Mongolian war horses fell into the hands of the Broken Army.

"Just because Shao Wu's palm is big, you also want to raise so many war horses? In just three months, those horses must have turned into skinny asses," Wu Xiu remembers his contemptuous laughter when he heard the news. War horses are not as good as bondage horses, and they need good feed, grains and eggs to feed. Food for a good horse is enough for four soldiers. Therefore, with intuition, Wu Xiu judged that Wen Tianxiang could not afford to raise a cavalry.

"It's true that Wen Tianxiang can't afford to raise these war horses, so he came to rob the grain", Wu Xiu felt the chill behind him, and his hands and feet were cold on a hot day.

Out of prudence, Wu Xiu chose to stay away from Shao Wu as much as possible on the route of escorting grain and grass this time. But I didn't expect to still have to meet the legendary characters.

"General, general, it's not a broken army, I didn't hear the thunder," a commander shouted loudly in Wu Xiu's ear. The voice couldn't tell the difference between despair and excitement.

If you don't hear the legendary thunder, it won't be Wen Tianxiang. The color of blood immediately returned to Wu Xiu's face. With courage and clarity, he waved his spear and began to adjust the team.

The enemy came with all cavalry, but there were not many of them, and at present they were mainly concentrated in the rear of the grain team, and they had not yet had time to set fire. Wu Xiu observed, ordered the Han army that opened the road to stay a third on standby, and sent the commander next to him to lead the other Han troops and mobile cavalry to quickly go to the tail to support.

The soldier was killed, and he could be recruited again, or even taken from among the people. But the grain cart can't be lost, if the grain cart is lost, Da Chun in front and Li Heng in the rear will not let go of themselves.

After the initial panic, the Han soldiers, encouraged by the junior generals, slowly gathered together. Raising his spear and facing the cavalry, the opponent has few people, and they have many people, so they can gain a local advantage by virtue of their numbers.

The cavalry's assault was blocked, and in front of the layers of gunfire, the war horses could not continue to charge. Simon Bula turned his horse's head and withdrew with his brothers. Coming and going, as swift as the wind.

On the hillside, Chen Hangyan stretched out his right hand and nodded his index finger forward. This is the signature move of Lin Qi, the general of the Broken Army, since he cooperated with Lin Qi to capture Jiangyuan, Chen Hangyan has unconsciously learned this posture that looks very tasteful. Cui Laoba, who was ambushed behind the bushes, jumped up with his archers, pulled out the horn bow, and rained a rain of arrows above the heads of the Han army.

The Han army that had just gathered was immediately stunned by the rain of arrows, and dodged to the side in a chaotic manner. A gap appeared in the gun array. Without waiting for Wu Xiu to send someone to make up for it, Ximen Biao, who had just run away, took dozens of bandits and quickly turned back and rushed in along the gap in the spear.

The saber was drawn flat, and a blood-colored channel appeared in the gun array.

The horse's hooves were raised, and several Han troops who could not escape were trampled under the horses' hooves.

"Brothers, we only need food, and we will not kill anyone," Simon Biao shouted from his horse, and as soon as he raised his hand, he separated the spear that was stabbing at him, and the blade slashed down the barrel of the spear with the force of the horse.

With cries of pain, several fingers flew into the sky. The Han soldier, wounded in the arm, scurried into the grass with his arm in his arms.

"Get out of the way," Ximen Biao shouted, and rushed towards the other soldiers. The Han soldiers who stopped in front of the horses retreated, parried, and after paying two lives, the others scattered in a hurry.

"They didn't want to burn grain, they actually wanted to move the whole team of military rations", Wu Xiu was surprised to see an unbelievable fact. The cavalrymen who rushed to the grain cart did not set fire, but only tried their best to disperse the Han army. And the horsemen who drove the carts and the coolies who pushed the carts were ordered by the thieves to lie on the grain carts and not to run around.

Which one doesn't want to die, with such a big appetite. Wu Xiu couldn't believe his judgment and desperately organized the soldiers to catch up with the opponent.

Spear to sabre, bow to bow. There were archers in ambush in the forest, but their number was not large, and it was impossible to annihilate the Han army of 3,000 escorts of grain and grass.

Chen lifted the reins of the horse and raised his right hand again. One, two, three, his palms jerked forward, and nearly a thousand horsemen rushed down the hill after him.

This is his real blade. Just now, it was just a tentative attack, in order to mobilize the opponent's main general and expose the position of the enemy's troops.

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded on the side of the grain team. The soldiers of the Han army, who were entangled with the vanguard team led by Ximen Biao, turned their heads in surprise and saw that in the woods, the blades flashed with cold light, and quickly approached.

A warhorse leaped out of the woods and accelerated suddenly. Warhorses and knights on horseback fall from the sky like eagles hunting. Between the blades, under the horse's hooves, a painful ** sounded.

The second, the third, five, ten, and countless war horses rushed out and killed the flanks of the Han army. Like a sickle cutting wheat, the Han army was cut down.

It was only half a moment before and after, and Wu Xiu felt that time was as long as a lifetime.

The soldiers he had brought from near Jizhou fell one by one under the hooves of the other party's horses. Cavalry against infantry and flank attacks.

This time he was really finished, and Wu Xiu's heart was full of despair. The wealth accumulated all the way south, the military exploits, and the brothers who followed him were all over.

But he still has the courage of a general.

Wu Xiu lifted his spear and rushed forward. The tip of the spear was pointed directly at Chen Hang's eyes.

On the field, generals can rely on intuition to find their opponents. Although Wu Xiu was attacked by a sneak attack, he did not abandon the instinct cultivated on the battlefield.

Chen Hangyan drew his saber from the back of a Han soldier and met the spear.

Although the opponent was defeated, he did not flee. Such a general deserves his respect.

The spear and the saber collided together, and the spearhead made of stainless steel and the saber collided with a string of sparks, which were unusually gorgeous in the setting sun. The two horses were frustrated, the spears swept, the sabers stood upright, and there was another resonance of gold and iron.

Wu Xiu turned his horse, turned around, and the tip of his spear went down, greeting his opponent. Chen Hangyan's subordinates and the remnants of the Han army avoided one after another, leaving an open space between the two. The fighting on the battlefield has gradually ended, there is no suspense about the outcome of the battle, and the duel between the two main generals will determine the fate of the remaining Han army.

Chen Hang's eyes were raised, and his eyebrows were raised. returned a charlatan salute to the opponent.

The two war horses approached quickly again, and Wu Xiu twisted the gun with both hands, stabbing Chen Hangyan in the throat.

Chen Hangyan leaned back, twisted sideways, rotated from back to front, and pulled out a white light in front of him with the saber in his hand.

The two war horses pulled away again, and Wu Xiu turned his horse and turned back. The body shook and supported it with a spear. Blood spurted from his breastplate, wetting his horse's back and staining the stones under his feet.

"Let them go, let them go home," Wu Xiu said with trembling lips, his voice so small that it was no longer audible. But he believed that Chen Hangyan could understand this sentence.

"You are also a good man, why do you work for the Tartars", Chen Hang looked at his saber and asked puzzled. Tactically, he won. But in terms of martial arts, he knew he didn't really win. The moment the steel knife slashed into the opponent's abdomen, he knew that this flaw was given to him by Wu Xiubai.

"I, a northerner, do I have a choice" Wu Xiu smiled and fell from his horse.

"General" several soldiers cried and surrounded Wu Xiu's body. They had no choice, and more than two hundred years ago, they had been abandoned by their homeland.

If Mongolia or the Great Song Dynasty is more beneficial to them, it should be Mongolia. Because Kublai Khan at least gave them a chance to join the army, make meritorious contributions, and change their status.

Chen Hangyan suddenly felt a little pain in his heart, waved his hand, and motioned to his subordinates to get out of the way and let go of all the captured Han soldiers. He is also a Han Chinese, and today, he does not want to see Han people shed blood again.

Several soldiers lifted Wu Zhong's body, put it on an unloaded grain truck, and headed north.

The dazed-eyed coolies and coachmen, under the command of the righteous thieves, drove the grain carts into the woods and into the mountains. Now and before, they didn't have a choice.

But after that, they didn't think about it. Chen Hangyan sat on the horse's back, frowning and thinking for them. In this era, not only Wu Xiu, but countless people are confused and don't know why they are fighting. Countless people paid with their lives in a daze. They may be heroic, but their heroism is worthless.

The sun fell from the mountain, and the night, once again, covered the earth, casting everything into darkness.
