Chapter Twenty-Eight: Leading the Race

Prince Temple North.

Xiangyang River.

The deepest part is not waist-deep, but the river is turbulent, the river is five feet wide, and the reeds on both sides are extremely luxuriant.

Jiang Shan and the others finally crossed the river, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded behind them.

The four of the Shadow Guards drew their knives and prepared a desperate posture, placing the carriage sideways in front of them, and the four of them formed a semicircle to block Jiang Shanyi.

Jiang Shan, who was basically soaked all over, did not change his color, and grabbed the corners of his clothes with both hands and twisted the water.

The shadow guard beside him looked nervous and said, "Listening to the voice, there are no less than eight hundred horses, less than five miles. ”

Jiang Shanyi helped down his loose hair, cleaned up his clothes, and tried his best to keep himself dignified and tidy.

"Let's go, light the reeds on the other side, eight hundred rides? It's really face-giving. If you dare to cross the river, you are looking for death. Shaking the wet cuffs, Jiang Shanyi got on the horse and patted the horse's ass and smiled: "The shit can't be stopped, hahaha." ”

The four shadow guards didn't know why, but they didn't dare to slack off when they saw the head of the house relaxed, and each took out their bows and arrows, tied dry cotton cloth to the arrows, poured tung oil, and then shot at the reeds on the opposite bank.

More than a dozen rockets ignited the reeds on the other side of the Xiangyang River, and the scorching sun was scorching, and the flames spread rapidly with the direction of the breeze, and the fire was like a sea.

Jiang Shanyi led the four of them on horseback or in a car, slowly moving north through the reeds three or four zhang wide.

There is a sunny slope to the north of Xiangyang River, and there is a man and a rider on the Xiangyang slope, wearing battle armor and holding a spear, looking south.

Jiang Shanyi didn't go up the hillside, but just walked to the bottom of the hill and found a comfortable position, took off his wet clothes, and spread them on the stones on the side.

"Don't be stunned, you can rest. My son is coming. ”

The four Shadow Guards looked up at the top of the hillside, and one person and one rider were really mighty and handsome.

The young guard said softly, "Master of the family, why don't we go up?" The young master only has one person and one horse, and the four of us may be a little stronger. ”

The other three shadow guards glanced at the guards who had just spoken, didn't bother to speak, still put the carriage sideways in front of them, and sat motionless in front of Jiang Shanyi in turn.

Jiang Shan glanced at the guards looking at the hillside in front of him and said, "What's your name?" ”

The guard reacted and hurriedly replied, "Go home, little ginger water." ”

"But do you still have the strength to fight?" Jiang Shanyi asked.

"Homecoming, yes."

"Do you dare to fight?"

"Dare."

"Pack up your weapons, get on my horse, go up the hillside, ride side by side with that man, and follow him, so that the puppies who have been chasing us for a day and a night will taste what it is like to be hunted and killed."

Jiang Shanyi looked at the young man with high morale, handed over the wine jug and said, "Take a sip to strengthen your courage, don't lose it, and don't die." ”

Jiang Shui took a sip of wine and greeted Jiang Shanyi and the other three Shadow Guards with a fist, grabbed the reins, turned around, and sped towards the top of the slope.

At the same time, the reed fields on the other side of the Xiangyang River have been turned to ashes, and there are many unburned branches and leaves on the hot ground, and the green smoke is misty.

The rumbling hooves of horses gradually disappeared, and there was a sound of wading in the river, and the neighing and scolding of people and horses in the chaos of people and horses gradually disappeared.

Jiang Shanyi was still drinking wine and chewing hard wheat cakes, extremely satisfied.

On the hillside, it became two people and two horses, standing side by side.

Jiang Shui secretly glanced at the back of the slope, there were shadow guards he knew who straddled his horse with swords, and there were also Tsing Yi guards who he knew were holding guns and pestles, the breeze was blowing, and the robes were hunting.

Jiang Shui looked at the green ginger banner that had not yet been unfolded in his hand, his heart was swaying, and he was full of pride.

The 1,000 horsemen led by Wang Qian finally crossed the river, and all the reeds by the river were trampled and fell to the ground, in a mess.

Wang Qian looked at the sun, and waved his horsewhip to the north.

"One hour, I want to see the dog head surnamed Jiang and chase it."

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves resounded on the north bank, and a thousand war horses galloped on the ground, deafening.

There is a sunny slope on the north bank of the Xiangyang River, which is two miles apart.

There is the Xiangyang River on the south side of the Xiangyang slope, which is two miles apart.

Just as the Wandering People's Army began to run, a young man in battle armor and holding a spear on a jujube red horse on the sunny slope silently put on his battle helmet and said to Jiang Shui next to him: "Follow." ”

As soon as the reins of the singer Jiang were raised, one man and one horse rushed down the hill at a gallop, and they took the lead.

At the same time, Jiang Shui unfurled the cyan flag, held the reins in one hand, and galloped down with Jiang Ge.

Another arrow rang out through the sky.

Ten Shadow Guards, all in black armor, mounted on tall black war horses, galloping out with bright silver long knives in their hands.

Immediately after, hundreds of cyan armor armed with spears rushed down the sunny slope in a neat array of arrows.

Without waiting for an answer, Jiang Shanyi took another sip of wine and said, "It's not just handsome, hahahahaha." ”

The three people around Jiang Shanyi were even more passionate at this time, looking at the Jiangzi banner held by Jiang Shui's kid, they were envious in their hearts, the battlefield battle array is always a place that men yearn for, and it is even more exciting to be able to command the flag and take the lead with the main general.

The three of them didn't care about Jiang Shanyi's boasting, they just looked at the familiar black armor and white green armor of the ten horses, and they couldn't wait to follow immediately, because the head of the family was by their side, and there were no war horses and weapons available. I can only clench my fists and secretly cheer for my brothers.

On the battlefield, the chaotic thousand horsemen finally saw more than a hundred horsemen rushing towards him, Wang Qian just playfully raised the corners of his mouth and raised his weapon and shouted: "Kill one person and reward ten gold, kill the head of the Jiang family, reward thousands of gold and seal the battalion commander to lead a thousand people." ”

"Kill." Some of the chaotic and disorderly exiled troops responded after hearing the reward of the main general, and even accelerated their speed to rush forward as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Just when the cyan hundred cavalry and the wandering army were about to collide, there were five hundred soldiers armed with spears on the east and west sides of the Xiangyang River like two steel walls sandwiching towards the wandering army.

Jiang Ge, who was wearing battle armor and holding a spear, rode bravely and ran into the cavalry of the Wandering People's Army, and Jiang Shui followed closely behind Jiang Ge with the Jiangzi banner.

In the blink of an eye, the ten black armor behind the battle flag crashed into the Wandering People's Army in the shape of arrows.

Jiang Ge took the lead, the gun rose and fell, and the wandering army that galloped past him was in a different place, and the strong impact inertia caused the wandering army that was not even complete in leather armor to be like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind in the swing of Jiang Ge's spear.

The next ten horsemen in black armor held long knives and were even sharper, and most of the wandering soldiers were cut off by the bright silver long knives before they could swing their swords.

Just when the vanguard of the Wandering People's Army was unilaterally slaughtered like cutting leeks, the Hundred Cavalry Green Armor after the Ten Cavalry Black Armor crashed into the Wandering People's Army, and after a few breaths, the hundred silver spears were like meat grinders, completely shattering the rapidly advancing Wandering Army.

Just after the collision, more than 100 cavalrymen at the forefront of the Wandering People's Army did not even take out their swords, and behind the Jiang Zi banner were a field of stumps, broken arms and lonely horses.

Tea Kung Fu, the homeless rangers who had no battle array were rushed to pieces by the cavalry led by Jiang Ge, Wang Qian was already scared to pee his pants when he saw that the situation was not good, so he had to turn around and ride towards Xiangyang River, at this time Wang Qian seemed to have met the devil, and there was only one word left in his heart to dominate himself, that is, 'escape'.

The wandering rangers who were chiseled by Jiang Ge's hundred horses lost more than 400 when the two sides collided, and the remaining rangers fled in all directions, but they were blocked by the big shield and spear soldiers like a city wall.

The pockets gradually tightened, and the wandering rangers were poked off their horses with spears, and then killed by the horizontal knives behind the large shields.

Wang Qian and the dozen or so horsemen around him were about to flee to the river, but after just a few breaths, one person and one rider chased after him from behind, one shot and one escort ranger, and the clouds and rivers were flowing without delay. In the end, only Wang Qian was left on the back of the horse, and it was impossible to escape.

Wang Qian, who was still in high spirits a quarter of an hour ago, was like ashes at this time, rolled off his horse and fell to the ground, kneeling on the ground and just kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Jiang Ge rode on his horse and took off his battle helmet, the spear stained with minced flesh and blood was in front of Wang Qian, and Jiang Shui, the standard-bearer who was almost a bloody man behind him, still held the banner high, his eyes were full of admiration and excitement.

Eight of the ten horsemen in black armor remained, two of them were injured and rescued, and there were less than 100 horsemen left in the entire battlefield, and they all dismounted and knelt on the ground.

None of the 100 cavalry Qingjia were seriously injured, preventing the wandering army from escaping, and assisting the soldiers to guard and clean up the battlefield.

Jiang Ge glanced at Wang Qian, who had been kowtowing in front of him, and asked, "Name, position, why are you chasing and killing my father?" ”

Wang Qian, whose forehead was already blurred with flesh and blood, raised his head and looked at Jiang Ge and said tremblingly: "The villain Wang Qian, the son of the general of the Wandering Army, Wang San, beg the general to let the villain go, my father will definitely thank the general again, and ask the general to bypass the villain's life." ”

After Wang Qian finished speaking, he continued to kowtow and beg for mercy, but he didn't say who sent him to hunt down Jiang Shanyi.

Jiang Ge still couldn't get an answer after asking a few times, and said a little impatiently: "If you tell whose order you received, I promise not to kill you and let you go back." If you don't say it again, I'll count to three, and the head will fall to the ground. There are so many captives, someone will always know. ”

When Jiang Ge put the spear on Wang Qian's shoulder and opened his mouth to count to three, Wang Qian immediately shouted: "Wang San, it's Wang San, my father Wang San, he and Shi Kaixiong advocated taking Wuling first, so after knowing the news that the head of the Jiang family had arrived in Hengyang County, he wanted to kill him first, and then wait for the civil strife in Wuling, so we could take the opportunity to enter." ”

Jiang Ge looked at Wang Qian's crotch, which was already wet and dripping water on the ground, sighed and said: "War is not child's play, you see, just because of your words, how many people have died in vain, Hu people occupy most of my mountains and rivers, but you are so provoking infighting, what about conscience?" ”

Jiang Ge, who was a little annoyed in his heart, didn't speak, and ordered to clean up the battlefield and bring the prisoners back to Wuling to make plans.

Someone had already withdrawn the flag bearer Jiang Shui's shirt to deal with the wound, Jiang Ge looked at Jiang Shui, who was full of scars, and said, "Follow me next time and take care of your injuries." ”

Jiang Shui happily closed his eyes and fell into a coma when he heard Jiang Ge's words, as if he had a dream, he followed the young master to kill from the swamp to the hills, from the mountains to the plains, and from the plains to the Gobi and grasslands. The young master is in front, he is in the back, Jiang Zi is handsome, and he has never fallen.

Jiang Ge didn't know what Jiang Shui had dreamed about, but Jiang Ge at this moment was not a little happy because of the victory. On the contrary, I felt very uncomfortable and panicked.

However, after Jiang Ge rode his horse to the foot of the sunny slope and saw Jiang Shanyi, the unpleasantness just now disappeared without a trace, and he just held Jiang Shanyi's hand and asked if he was injured, tired or not, etc.

was full of pride and was ready to boast that his son was really a hero in the world and useless, but he was made to tears by Jiang Ge's cold greetings.

Seeing that Jiang Shanyi was moved, Jiang Ge also sighed helplessly and said, "Come, my son will carry you home." ”

Jiang Shanyi didn't refuse, being carried by his own son, what a happy thing it must be, Fusheng has no reason to be embarrassed this time. Jiang Shanyi, who was on Jiang Ge's back, laughed. Jiang Ge, who was carrying Jiang Shanyi on his back, grinned and laughed.

More than 1,000 people who were still cleaning the battlefield saw this scene, and their hearts were full of envy, the son was filial to his father, the head of the family took care of his family, and the young master of the battle array was unparalleled.

In troubled times, what more can a husband ask for.

As the sun set, on the ground, the young man walked in front with his father talking and laughing, and behind him were eight black armor, then a hundred green armor, and then more than a thousand soldiers.

Banner exhibition.

The sun sets.

The oblique shadow grows longer.
