Su Ming nodded lightly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Meng Yu beside him held a halberd in his hand, and with a swish, he was already out.
This Meng Hu is a Qi person, Qi country's striking skills, famous all over the world. The Qin State has sharp soldiers, the Zhao State has the Hufu elite cavalry, and the Wei State has military soldiers, and this Qi State, the fighter of the fighting skills, is on par with it, and Meng Hu was born here.
This is a battle right away, Su Ming usually doesn't see it very often, and today it is rare to have this good opportunity.
Twenty zhang, for the horses under the crotches of the two, it is only a moment's effort. Before Su Ming came back to his senses, the two had already crossed by mistake and fought for a round.
It doesn't look like anyone is taking advantage.
"Phew!"
Meng Hu turned his horse and rushed over again.
Fighting with the other party just now, Meng Yu knew that he had a lot of strength, and at this time, it was not a life and death struggle with him, but a victory or defeat. Since this is the case, just knock him off the horse, and while running, Meng Hu has already thought of a countermeasure.
Seeing Meng Hu coming again, Zhai Yao grabbed the horse's belly between his legs, took off the reins with both hands, and clenched the bronze gilt broadsword, and rushed over again with this horsepower.
Meng Yu looked at it, just for the sake of skill, and did not want to compete with him. Seeing that the big knife was in front of him, he suddenly bowed down, dodged his move, and his hand was not slow, and the halberd hit the opponent's horse leg.
Zhai Yao didn't expect it at all, and by the time he reacted, it was already too late.
"Hiss......"
The horse was in pain, bent its front legs, poked straight forward, and fell to the ground. The above Zhai Yao was caught off guard, the person turned on his back, he was lying in the mud, he ate a mouthful of grass, but fortunately, the big bronze gilt knife in his hand did not take it off, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.
Meng Yu didn't look back, pulled the horse, slowed down, and stopped when he reached Su Ming's side.
"Hahaha!"
Su Ming immediately burst out laughing, and the soldiers behind him followed, and suddenly, there was an uproar.
"Despicable and shameless, what kind of means is this, you dare to stand again?"
Zhai Yao got up and immediately scolded.
"Shaft, why can't you lose, don't you dare to admit it!"
was scolded by him, Meng Yu was annoyed, and even more ridiculed.
Zhai Yao was a little uncontrollable on his face, although he knew that he had lost, but he was very dissatisfied in his heart, and he always felt that Meng Yu made it a trick. was ridiculed, angry, and only remembered revenge, and then he could take care of the messenger or something. I saw him say hello, and more than 100 Yiqu knights behind him rushed directly to the middle of the field, shouting at Su Ming's side. ć
At this point, Zhai Yaocai is slightly better.
Su Ming had already prepared to make trouble, and when he saw the other party's appearance at this time, he snorted coldly, and with a finger of the horsewhip, more than a hundred Iron Eagle swordsmen behind him were all pasted. He didn't believe that for such an important matter, the Yiqu people would tolerate the two gangs fighting here.
If you really move your hands, I am afraid that the people who will be injured are only the people of Yiqu, after all, these hundred people are all Iron Eagle Swordsmen. Maybe they can't compare to Sima Zhi alone, but here, it's their world.
"Chirp!"
At this moment, there was a sound of birds, and the knights of the Yiqu over there heard the sound, and suddenly retreated. Su Ming ordered, and the Iron Eagle swordsmen retreated like a tide.
I saw that the Yiqu team in front was separated, and there were more than a dozen people galloping on horseback behind, and the leader was the one with gorgeous clothes and a crown on his head, and at a glance he knew that his status in Yiqu was not low.
These dozen people, after passing the Yiqu team, did not stop, and ran directly in front of Su Ming.
Su Ming saw that the man in the lead was young, he didn't even have a beard on his mouth, his complexion was dark, his posture was strong and powerful, and he was also handsome. I saw that when he arrived in front of Su Ming, he jumped down from his horse and waved his hand at Su Ming, with a calm face.
"I am Zhai Li, the third son of the King of Yiqu, and I have seen the envoy of the Qin State."
This Zhai Li has a Chinese etiquette, Su Ming can't be rude, get off the horse, otherwise if he continues like this, he will become fooling.
"I am Su Ming, the commander of the Great Qin Lang, and I have seen the son."
Zhai Li saw Su Ming at a glance, and was slightly surprised to see that the other party was so young. looked at the sergeant on the opposite side again, the man was strong and strong, and at first glance he was not a weak division, if it weren't for the fact that there were not many of them, Zhai Li might really doubt the origin of his Su Ming.
"It is amazing that the envoy sent me to Yiqu, but there is such a majestic army behind him."
Zhai Li smashed it and said with a mouth, Su Ming also knew what he meant.
"Haha, I have a lot of people in the Qin country, and it has always been like this, not to mention that I want to meet the dignified King of Yiqu, if there are fewer people, how can I show my sincerity in Qin."
Su Ming was a little flamboyant, but in this way, he was relieved. In particular, it can be known from Su Ming's words that he did not know that King Yiqu was critically ill.
"I see, I have come to greet the messenger, please follow me into the royal city, I will not show mercy to the enemy, but to the guests, I have always been generous. Since the envoy is a guest, then prepare good wine and meat, and all the soldiers can enjoy it to their heart's content. ā
When Su Ming heard this, he immediately threw a smile at Zhai Li, thanked him again, and then got on the horse and led the team and went with Zhai Li.
After walking for a long time, this Yiqu Wangcheng came into view.
The royal city is not big, but it is strong. Although it is mainly piled with loess, the city wall is about ten zhang high, and the thickness is more than ten zhang, and the arrow tower stands on it, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack at a glance.
Outside the royal city, white, gray, and all kinds of tents stood densely, as if they were defending the royal city. As far as the eye can see, there are no less than 20,000 cattle, sheep and horses, coming and going. At this time, it was evening, and the smoke of the cooking stove rose beside the tent, and the old men and children, women and men, were like grass in the field, innumerable.
Seeing this, Su Ming secretly glared at Zhai Shan, and Zhai Shan's face was a little guilty. Su Ming knew that he had been deceived, so many people, how could there be only 20,000 people who drew the bow, at least 30,000.
In the first battle of this Qirong, even if more than 10,000 were destroyed, there were still more than 10,000 left, how could it be less than 10,000. It's a thing that doesn't have a high chance of winning, but now it's directly a gamble. It is not an exaggeration to compare it to nine deaths and one life, there are more than 2,000 people here, and their lives are all on Su Ming, Su Ming can't help but be furious.
Zhai Li on the side saw Su Ming's face and showed thought.
"Lord Su, I'm afraid that my Yiqu Wangcheng won't be able to accommodate these people, so the soldiers are camped outside the city, and I have prepared good wine and meat, okay?"
Su Ming knew that his expression just now made him a little suspicious, no need to ask, this person must be with the eldest son. At this moment, he can no longer be suspicious.
At that moment, Su Ming only took a few people with Meng Yu Baiqi, as well as more than a hundred Iron Eagle swordsmen, and the rest of them all stayed outside the city. It's the first night, and nothing will go wrong.
The city wall of Yiqu Wangcheng is so thick, the gate hole of this city gate is also very deep, about four or five zhang wide, more than 100 people walk in it, the front has not yet gone out, and the back has already entered.
In Yiqu City, it is full of royal land, and it is difficult for the people of Qiantou to enter.
Because the city is small and there are not many buildings, when you enter it, it is facing Su Ming, which is a large hall. The square is square, the green tiles and green bricks are the same as the Qin State.
When they arrived at the gate of the main hall, the Iron Eagle Swordsman stayed outside again, leaving only Su Ming and Bai Qi alone. When they arrived in the temple, they found that there were many people, but the central throne was empty, and there was nothing.
On both sides of the throne, there are Zhai Rong and a man, and you don't have to think about it to know that the man must be the eldest son. There are two columns in the main hall, and the courtiers of Yiqu sit on both sides.
Su Ming came in and felt something abnormal. looked around, and stayed on the body of the eldest son and Zhai Rong for a moment. For a long time, Su Ming saw that the ministers of Yiqu did not answer, and felt in his heart that this way was very familiar, and this was deliberately snubbing himself.
"I am the envoy of King Qin, and I came at the request of Yiqu for peace, at this moment in the palace, why don't I see King Yiqu, is this the sincerity of King Yiqu?"
