It has been more than a month since Gongsun Du surrendered to King Ma and took the name Qingying.

It's just that whether the light shadow was subjugated by Gongsun Du's superb equestrian skills, or by his extremely thick skin, has become a historical mystery. Later historians speculated, and at the same time, another participant, Xu Rong, was also subject to a lot of excavations......

In a small plain fifty miles west of Liaojun City, Xu Rong had been training his cavalry for a month.

"Turn, Assault!"

After Xu Rong gave the order, he kept his eyes on the hundred cavalry in front of him, ready to correct it in time when something went wrong. However, the cavalry, who had been trained many times, did not make a mistake and completed the change of formation very smoothly. Xu Rong was quite emotional, the cavalry could barely take shape in more than a month, and it could smoothly change formations, and it already had the potential of an excellent cavalry.

Seeing the cavalry launch a surprise attack with a sharp array, fast and powerful, Xu Rong couldn't help but nod secretly. Suddenly, he recalled the time when he made the bet. At first, he didn't believe it, but then he really found the herd and caught them all, not only harvesting the king of horses, but also 66 horses, 38 mares, and 4 young horses of three or five months, a total of one hundred and eight horses, a lot of harvest! After that, in view of the good quality of this batch of horses, all the mares were left, and the horses were selected and left 5 as stallions, and then more than a dozen horses were purchased from Changli, plus the original ones, and a hundred horses were made together, so that every cavalry had a mount.

It's a good light cavalry now!

"It's a good explanation for Shengji!" Looking at the cavalry who had completed the assault training, Xu Rong felt a sense of relief in his heart.

God may not be able to see Xu Rong relaxing, and a ride flew in the distance-

"Report, urgent military situation!"

Xu Rong's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Suspend training, assemble and stand by!" ”

Xu Rong's calmness affected the cavalry who had just heard the words of the incoming cavalry and became a little flustered, and quickly settled down.

"Chief Xu Tun, the general has an order!" Xu Rong, who came to ride, approached, and did not get off the horse, but said quickly, it was really an urgent military situation, "There are two thousand unknown bandits, and they want to attack the Liao army, please return quickly to the tun chief, how to place the cavalry, it is up to the tun chief to decide!" ”

"Obey the general's orders!"

Xu Rong thought about it, and understood that Gongsun Du wanted him to go back to discuss how to deal with the bandits' siege, but he wanted the cavalry to be a surprise soldier, but he was worried that the three hundred men and horses in the city would not be able to stop the bandits' attack, and the city would be broken before the cavalry appeared, so he gave him the right to choose directly.

Xu Rong thought about it seriously, called one of his subordinates, gave a few commands, and then said to Laiqi: "Okay, let's go back immediately." ”

"Yes, Chief!"

Xu Rong and Laiqi rushed to the Liao team, and asked some relevant questions on the way, such as how long it would take for the bandits to arrive, and what equipment they had. When he learned that the bandits were less than twenty miles away from the county seat when they came to ride, he couldn't help but speed up.

Fifty miles, about half an hour, rushed back to the Liao army, before entering the city, I heard the sound of killing from the north, obviously these bandits have launched an attack. Xu Rong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly rode into the city gate.

It's not that the defense is lax, the main thing is that there are too few people under Gongsun Du now, and everyone knows Xu Rong, and his face is "Customs Clearance Paper".

When Xu Rong hurried to the north gate, his first reaction was surprise.

There was a loud shout of killing, but there was no rain of arrows, and it seemed that there was no siege.

When he walked up to the city wall, he saw Gongsun Du standing at the battlement, looking out speechlessly, and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?" ”

Gongsun Du turned his head to look at it and said, "Tingfang is here!" ”

"These guys, you say, out there? I don't know what's going on, but I guess he wants to intimidate us, scare us, and then negotiate! ”

Xu Rong nodded with some understanding, and then said: "This is a common trick used by bandits, but ......"

Turning his head to look at the soldiers on the city wall, many of them were so nervous that they broke out in a cold sweat, and some even trembled their legs, perhaps remembering the time when they were robbed by bandits before.

"In the end, it's a village warrior who has not been trained for a long time."

Xu Rong sighed faintly in his heart, and continued: "We must not let the other party know our details, otherwise even if the other party will not attack the city immediately, he will open his mouth and ask for more money and food." ”

Gongsun Du nodded depressedly, and then asked, "Is there a way to take down the other party?" Ben felt that if it went on like this, it would have a big impact on our morale. ”

"General, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult!"

Gongsun Du and Xu Rong turned their heads to look over, it was Liu Yi who saw Xu Rong coming, so he walked over, Tu Yi and Jiao Lu were still supervising the soldiers in the city, because in the current situation, it was very likely that they had been defeated before the battle.

Xu Rong retracted his gaze, was silent for a moment, and then looked at Gongsun Du and said very seriously: "Actually, it is not difficult to defeat these bandits, but the difficult thing is how many people dare to die!" ”

"How?" Gongsun Du knew Xu Rong's ability, so he asked.

"General, we should ...... So...... So ......," Xu Rong said quickly.

After saying that, Gongsun Du did not hesitate to agree, and then Xu Rong left immediately, he wanted to join his cavalry as soon as possible.

And Liu Yi and Tu Yi and Jiao Lu, who had just spoken, and Yang Yi, who was already by Gongsun Du's side, were full of disbelief.

Especially Yang Yi, when Xu Rong's back had not disappeared, he shouted: "General, do you really believe Xu Tunchang's words?" He's absolutely insane! ”

Gongsun Du hurriedly looked at Xu Rong, and saw that his steps of leaving did not pause for half a minute, and he was only six points sure in his heart, but it immediately rose to eight points, and the remaining two points were decided by Liu Yi and others.

With a frown, Gongsun Du looked at Liu Yi and said, "Liu Tunchang, what do you think?" ”

When Xu Rong suggested just now, he didn't shy away from it at all, he listened to it completely, not like Jiao Lu and Tu Yi, but just listened to the second half. Hearing Gongsun Du's question, Liu Yi hesitated for a moment and replied: "The last general believes in Xu Tunchang!" ”

"You're crazy too?" Before Gongsun Du could reply, Yang Yi shouted.

Gongsun Du glared at Yang Yi fiercely, retracted his head in fright, and then retracted his gaze, and then ordered: "That's good! Where is Tu Yi and Jiao Lu? ”

"The last general!" Tu Yi and Jiao Lu said in unison.

"You two must stabilize the morale of the army, assist the general in defending the city, if there is a mistake, come to see you!" Gongsun Du said sonorously.

"Yes, General!" Tu Yi and Jiao Lu went as ordered.

"Liu Yi!" Gongsun Du exhaled slowly and said.

"The last general!" Liu Yi's body shook and said in a deep voice.

Gongsun Du ordered: "You immediately select thirty warriors who dare to fight, put on Mingguang armor, and be ready to go out of the city to assist Xu Tunchang at any time." ”

"Yes, General!" Liu Yi responded, and then asked in confusion, "Who is Mingguang Jia?" ”

Gongsun Du shouted: "If you are told to go, you will go, and Captain Mingguangjia will take you to change." ”

"Yes!" Liu Yi immediately left, and at this time, a sinister aura inexplicably emerged from Gongsun Du's body, making him dare not ask more.

Gongsun Du turned his head to Yang Yi and said, "What Ben said just now, did you hear it?" Mingguang armor is all here, right? ”

"General rest assured, forty-two Mingguang armors, all of which are under the city, can be changed at any time." Yang Yi patted his chest and said.

Gongsun Du nodded, and then said, "Then you go, all the guards will also go and change them, and bring the generals with you." ”

……

Mingguang armor, that is, Mingguang armor in the Sui and Tang dynasties, was Li Yuanba's grandson, but he knew the structure of this thing. Therefore, after subduing the light shadow and solving the problem of the cavalry mount, the secret manufacturing began. However, because it is still a little different from Mingguang armor, mainly because there is a gap in quality, it is named Mingguang armor.

Of course, Gongsun Du will never admit it, mainly because he is very unhappy with a certain "two" in his heart.

Don't look at the fact that there are only forty-two, but the price is not small, Yang Yi and his personal soldiers have almost searched all the houses in the city that are empty. Originally, Gongsun Du planned to wait for at least one tun of Mingguang armor to be equipped before equipping it, but now that the matter is urgent, he has to use it first. It is for this reason that Liu Yi will only have a quota of thirty people.
