Chapter 378: They Don't Dare
Liu Hou, the garrison captain of the Yangquanfu Township Army, is not only a subordinate of Hou Mingren of Fenyang, but also his sworn brother, Liu Hou is a simple-minded but loyal to Liu Hou, and he is responsible for quelling the civil unrest or suppressing bandits in Daizhou, and is known as the first brave general in Daizhou. Liu Hou had three hobbies in his life, one was good wine, two was lustful, and three was good wealth, so Ming Ren gave him fine wine, gave him beautiful women, and gave him the power to collect centigold and city entry tax. After receiving his letter, Liu Hou immediately gathered soldiers and horses to avenge his brother.
Liu Hou read the letter before, saying that Zhang Xiaowu and Ming Ren fought for 200 rounds without winning or losing, and one was defeated by his tricks without paying attention, Liu Hou of course knew that Ming Ren's martial arts were common, and he thought that the ghost general Zhang Xiaowu was actually difficult to deserve under his fame. He didn't know anything about Zhang Xiaowu, he just knew that Zhang Xiaowu's name shook the north, and he knew that the ghost guard had defeated Inuyi many times. But the wolf guard also defeated the inuyi many times, and as a former captain of the wolf guard, Liu Hou really looked down on the Tatar inuyi and those horse bandits.
"But in this case, this person deceived the world and stole his name, and when he met the first fierce general in my Daizhou, he was about to reveal his original form." Liu Hou thought proudly in his heart.
There were 300 township troops in Yangquan Mansion, and Liu Hou transferred 500 township troops from other surrounding counties, and also borrowed 500 nursing homes from local lords, and after temporarily forming a team of 1,300 people, Liu Hou was full of confidence.
"I'm afraid that as soon as my army appears, their team of eighty people will be scared." Liu Hou said to the left and right.
Because of the goods they carried, the team of the Ghost Guard Face Saint did not walk fast, and now the weather was hot and it was difficult to walk on the road, and after walking for three days, the team finally came to Liusu County, Yangquan Prefecture. The official road of Liusu County passed through a mountain forest, and there were high mountains and mountains around it, Zhang Xiaowu immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare horses and armor to prepare for battle, and then sent Xia Ming to lead people to explore the road, so as not to carelessly lose Jingzhou and be besieged by bandits who are not long-sighted and cause losses.
Although they avoided the bandits along the way, this mountain and terrain were really a dangerous place where they could win more with less. However, just as Xia Ming was about to move forward, he suddenly saw a large group of people on the opposite side, they were condescending and clear-cut, and they were looking at the ghost guard triumphantly.
At present, a person is fat and has a big head like a bucket, a beard on his face, a scarf on his head and a big axe, he rides a horse with one hand and points directly at Zhang Xiaowu with the tip of the axe with the other, shouts three times, and says: "Liu Hou, the garrison captain of Yangquan Mansion in Daizhou, greets the ghost generals and his party." β
Zhang Xiaowu frowned suddenly, the other party was full of thousands of people, condescendingly holding weapons and blades, and his eyes showed murderous intent, not like a welcoming team at all. Zhang Xiaowu thought that his popularity was not so good that someone put up such a big battle to greet him, and he didn't know anything about this Liu Hou. He said to the left and right, "Prepare for battle." β
"Whoa!"
Wang Yijin immediately took out the whistle and blew the whistle, and after the ghost guard got the news, he lifted the guard plate on the Pu knife, raised the blade, and put the reserve horse behind him.
Liu Hou saw that the other party flashed his knife, and immediately mocked loudly: "General Zhang, shouldn't you be weak and timid?" It's too late for our group of people to welcome us, how can it hurt you, you are really a person-you must know that although there are not many bandits in this generation, they are all good players, and your team has encountered a large group of bandits, but I am afraid that it is not as good as stuffing people's teeth. So I came to escort, no thanks, no thanks. β
"The weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, but he didn't have a good heart." Bao Yin said, took off the horse lance, and said, "General, I'll meet him." β
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Let them leave us a stone's throw away, otherwise there will be no forgiveness." β
Bao Yin rode over and told them that they did not need to be escorted, and that if they came close to a stone's throw away, they would be killed.
Liu Hou sneered, and said left and right: "Liu Dong, take your people over, I just want to see what's wrong with them one stone's throw away, I don't believe they dare to do it." β
Liu Dong is Liu Hou's cousin, and immediately after receiving the order, he led his subordinate team out of the ranks, Xu Xu rushed over first, and said with an arrogant smile: "Saibei ghost guard, but that's it." β
Bao Yin turned his horse and returned to the formation, and the township soldiers laughed, and suddenly saw the ghost guards collectively forming a bow at this time. The township army was nervous in their hearts.
Liu Dong turned his head to look at his cousin, and Liu Hou said, "Go over." With Liu Hou's support, Liu Dong shouted: "Don't be afraid, lean on me, I won't believe it, they dare to touch us." β
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Yanling array, I am the leader of the formation, Xia Ming is the left wing, Bao Yin is the right wing, and Jia Si is also Wang Yijin to protect me left and right." β
"Whoa!"
"Feather arrows prepare, slowly speed up, advance a hundred steps and then speed up, pay attention to the formation."
"Whoa!"
"Dada......"
The horses of the eighty-four ghost guards began to speed up, although they were not cavalry battalions, but all the soldiers in the northern part of the Saibei could ride horses and shoot arrows, although the cavalry archery was not as good as the cavalry battalion, but they were also skilled in arching and horses.
"Dada......"
As the sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, Liu Dong was scared, and he frequently looked back at Liu Hou, but Liu Hou was still confident. Liu Hou's self-confidence lies in the fact that they are outnumbered and condescending, and he "escorts" the team of saints in the name of greeting. Could it be that Zhang Xiaowu was so arrogant that he even dared to kill Paoze? Liu Hou naturally didn't know that the ghost guard killed the gate official in Daizhou City, and the Marquis of Fenyang didn't tell him what happened to him at all, if Liu Hou knew Zhang Xiaowu's character, he was afraid that he would not have made this decision that he regretted.
"Three hundred paces apart." Wang Yijin shouted.
"Two hundred and fifty steps."
"Two hundred steps."
"One hundred and fifty steps."
"One hundred steps."
"Eighty steps - shoot!"
"Whoosh-"
"Whoosh-"
"Whoosh-"
Nearly a hundred arrows flew away, and the accurate and ruthless feather arrows suddenly enveloped the twenty-six people's team, and the arrows combined with the cavalry charge speed made the feather arrows extremely fast. The twenty-six men were immediately shot into a sieve, each with six or seven feathered arrows, and they were crucified to death before they even had time to scream.
Liu Hou was dumbfounded, he suddenly realized that the other party regarded them as dogs, this kind of combat method, he had practiced in the two wolf guard formations. Liu Hou also served in the Wolf Guard Army for five years, and returned to his hometown after five years, and was discovered and promoted by Hou Mingren of Fenyang. The opponent's Yanling array is the most suitable for breaking the formation, but it emphasizes the head of the formation, and the leader of the formation is not only the dead soldier but also the bravest person in the whole army.
However, how could the person who dared to be the leader of the formation be so martial arts, just in the blink of an eye, the other party was already close, and his cousin Liu Dong and twenty-five subordinates were all dead.
The ghost guard then shot three rounds of arrow rain, and after three rounds, Zhang Xiaowu ordered: "Hide the bow!" Draw the knife! β
"Draw your sword!"
"Holy Hanβ"
"Ten thousand yearsβ"
"Killβ"
"Killβ"
Zhang Xiaowu rushed over first, and behind him, the eyes of the rest of the army guards were full of fighting spirit and decisive momentum, they crossed the twenty-six corpses, and directly killed Yang Quanfu to garrison the township army.
