Tieho Gully is a deep canyon with cliffs on both sides, lush trees and rocky rocks, and it is a battleground for soldiers. It is only five miles away from the entrance of Qinjia Village, and its curved shape looks like a horseshoe, hence the name. Turn out of the farrier ditch, and the village gate of Qinjia Village will be visible in the distance. This is the only way from the Central Plains to the Khitan, after walking the farrier ditch, passing through Qinjia Village, and then walking dozens of miles to the border of the Khitan people.

At this time, a huge convoy was swaying through the farrier ditch. Because of the terrain of the farrier ditch, the whole convoy was also bent into a farrier-like curved shape, and the people in front had already walked halfway, and the people behind had not yet entered the farrier ditch. After passing the halfway point, the farrier ditch divides the whole team into two sections. And the people in front can't see the back, and the people behind can't see the front, except for the distance of dozens of zhang in front and back, they can't see anything.

Jin Sen is the leader of this convoy, the leader of the Three Hundred Escort Force, and a distant member of the Great Chu Jin family. He is thirty-four years old Chinese New Year's Eve, and he is in the prime of a man's life. The Jin family's business is all over the world, and Dayan also has many warehouses of the Jin family, and he is the escort leader of one of the warehouses.

He was five feet and three feet tall, unusually strong, his face was full of vicissitudes, his small eyes were full of vigilance, and he looked at the mountains on both sides of the farrier from time to time. Dressed in black and red mountain armor, it looks majestic.

This kind of iron armor is mostly composed of mountain-shaped metal sheets, so it is called mountain armor. The early mountain armor was only presented as a new type of armor armor leaf, and was mostly attached to the Mingguang armor. Later, it gradually developed and formed a unique armor style. Except for the heart guards on the chest, which still retains the Mingguang armor, the rest are completely independent. Shanwen armor has the advantages of beautiful appearance, close wear, easy repair, and strong comprehensive protection ability. Its production is very complicated, and its method is very unique, which is the "wrong method", that is, through the nail piece and the nail piece bite each other into a carapace. It is said that if the armor piece is made delicately and uniformly, it does not even need a nail or a strand of silk thread to make the whole armor, so it leads to high costs, and it is mostly used as military attache armor and pro-army armor, and the popularity rate at the grassroots level is not high.

Jin Sen held a heavy sword that looked no less than thirty pounds in his hand, more than four feet long, a palm wide, one finger thick, and two fingers wide on both sides of the blade, the cold light was shining, intimidating, and under the crotch was a majestic yellow horse. This equipment makes people see that the Da Chu Jin family is really rich, and a guard commander has such equipment.

He was followed by fifteen subordinates with the same armor, but they were not equipped with expensive mountain armor, they were all wearing a simplified version of the step armor, unlike the standard step armor of fifty or sixty catties, their armor was more than ten catties lighter, but forty catties. But the standard step armor has, they have the same. There is no shortage of scarlets, face armor, phoenix wings, eyebrows, slung necks, shoulder swallows, arms covers, breastplates, belly swallows, armors, falcon tails, skirt armor, hanging legs, etc. These people were all wrapped in black steel, and their bare eyes were shining with cold light.

These fifteen people were also vigilant, riding on horses, the long knives in their hands had long been unsheathed, ready to fight at any time. There were also fifteen of these ironclad cavalrymen in the back hall, and they were also the core of this escort.

For more than ten years, Jinsen has relied on these thirty people under him

Something never happened. No matter how the general guards of the escort team lost and replenished, these thirty people never suffered much loss. Therefore, the least of these thirty people has five years of escort experience, and the most are the old men who have followed Jin Sen for more than ten years, and there are as many as thirteen such old people. Although it was only thirty people, they had rich combat experience and excellent equipment, and it seemed that they were more powerful than the three hundred ordinary guards combined.

And those ordinary guards of three hundred people are not simple, they are all fat and strong, and they are equipped with heavy cotton armor, and some iron plates are covered in key parts. This kind of armor is made by wetting cotton, beating it repeatedly, making very thin cotton sheets, and then embellishing multiple of these cotton sheets into a very thick and solid cotton cloth. It is made of two layers of cotton cloth stuffed with iron sheets in the middle, and fixed with copper nails inside and outside. This kind of cotton armor is very warm, it is the most suitable to wear in winter, but the iron piece inside has a certain effect on the bow and arrow, plus the iron plate at the vital point, it can also resist a certain amount of long knives, spears and other injuries, compared to the unarmored Qinjia Village soldiers and Chicheng County soldiers, it is much better. These guards also held the standard long knives of the Great Yan Kingdom, and there were fifty longbowmen among them, all of whom used sophisticated foot bows.

These three hundred and thirty people are a little less, but their combat effectiveness is definitely not weak.

"I said Commander Jin, it's not once or twice that we have taken this line, are you so nervous?" Just as Jin Sen was engrossed in observing the mountains on both sides, a strange voice sounded behind him.

Jin Sen frowned, a thick look of disgust appeared on his face, the person who spoke was called Jin Chunming, the old man next to Jin Li, the Jin family's spokesman in Dayan, and his wife was Jin Li's wet nurse, and she was very trusted by Jin Li. Because of this, Jin Li appointed him as a butler, and he was simply overbearing in the Jin Mansion. Jin Chunming even thought that Jin Sen was the only challenger to his status in the Jin family, and he gave Jin Sen small shoes a lot. Jin Sen also wanted to replace him for a long time, so the two usually fought openly and secretly.

"Steward Jin, this matter is very important, so we can't ignore it." Jin Sen coldly replied to Jin Chunming.

Jin Sen felt very uncomfortable when he said this, of course he knew why Jin Chunming wanted Jin Chunming to follow Jin Li's business. Because the things in the car were really valuable, Jin Li didn't trust Jin Sen and asked Jin Chunming to spy on him. It just so happened that the two of them didn't get along, and it was impossible for them to be in the same stream.

"Cut, I think you are getting more and more timid, this radius of a hundred miles, the people who dare to touch our Jin family have not yet been born." Jin Chunming said sarcastically, "This Taihang Mountain, that is, those extremely hungry bandits dare to touch it without their lives." Just in time, the old man personally cut off a few heads to play. Jin Chunming's face was full of vicious looks.

Jinsen didn't bother to talk to him, but after he mentioned it, Jinsen remembered the scene of the last shipment. It was in Yingzhou, and thousands of refugees rushed towards his convoy like crazy, and he and his brothers killed him for three hours. The ironclad guards were killed and wounded several people, and the ordinary guards were only able to escape after losing eighty percent. He remembered the crazy look on the refugees' faces. There are also those damned Blood Lotus Sect disciples, who were stunned and shouted "Taiping Eternal Life" and rushed over, killing wave after wave, endlessly, and some of the disciples actually had smiles on their faces before they died.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shiver fiercely in his heart.

"To say that this Akagi is not completely devoid of characters. The head of Qinjia Village in front of him is one, that kid has a strange name, what is Qin Forget, his nickname is even louder, refugee butcher. I heard that on the night of the rebellion of the refugees in Chicheng County, he killed hundreds of people by himself, with three heads and six arms, iron teeth and copper teeth, and he liked to eat human flesh. But then I heard that he also raised 5,000 refugees, which was a bit interesting. Jin Sen didn't bother to pay attention to Jin Chunming, but Jin Chunming didn't have the consciousness to shut up, and he was talking endlessly.

"What kind of bullshit refugee butcher, what kind of ability is it to kill a few refugees? Lao Tzu led people to kill thousands of refugees in Yingzhou, and he didn't have such a big name. Jin Sen sneered, disdainful of Qin Forget.

"When I was drinking with Yin Xian's old boys last night, I heard them say that this Qin Yu was really bold, and he did all the things that killed officials and rebelled, and almost slaughtered that Dong Zhuang." Jin Chunming's words couldn't be collected when he opened the stubble, "The mud legs under the stubborn donkey in Dong Zhuang almost starved to death, so he robbed that Qin Wang's food, can Qin Wang bear it?" A few days ago, I single-handedly went to Dong Zhuang Xingshi to ask for the guilt, and I heard that Dong Zhuang's family heirloom knife was killed, and Dong Zhuang was cut on the shoulder. ”

"I know Dong Zhuang, his hands are not weak, but he was easily knifed and slashed?" Jin Sen asked in surprise, "Does this Qin Forget sound like he has two brushes?" ”

"Not only that, but I also heard that kid retreated under the siege of more than a dozen county soldiers, and even Yin Xian, the county commander, didn't dare to do anything to him. It is said that there are warriors in the land of Yan Zhao, and now it seems to be true. Jin Chunming sighed in admiration.

Hearing Jin Chunming say this, Jin Sen admired Qin Forget a little, he dared to find trouble for the county lieutenant single-handedly with his own strength, and he retreated under the siege of everyone, which was very powerful, and his courage was even more admirable.

"There is no vanity under the fame, and this refugee butcher is really not boasting." Jin Sen couldn't help but admire.

"It seems that that kid is both civil and military, and he has raised 5,000 refugees in Qinjia Village in front. In the past few years, the Great Yan Dynasty has been plagued by natural disasters, and it is really a miracle to be able to do this. is even more in Qinjia Village to protect himself, with 500 soldiers, just like a small prince. That kid is only sixteen years old, hehe, a hero is a teenager. Jin Chunming also sighed in admiration.

"Since that kid is so powerful, he has to feed 5,000 people, and he must lack food in his hands. Do you think that kid will do anything to us? Hearing Jin Chunming say Qin Forget so amazingly, Jin Sen couldn't help but ask.

"No way, I said Commander, are you too timid?" Hearing Jin Sen say this, Jin Chunming rolled his eyes, "I'll just talk about gossip, do you really think that Qin Forget has three heads and six arms?" He only has 500 village soldiers under his command, and he dares to attack the idea of our caravan? Thirty iron armor and three hundred guards, how could he touch it? Besides, this place is only five miles away from their Qinjia Village, are there any robberies in front of their own homes? ”

Jin Chunming's words were not good, but it also made Jin Sen feel relieved, and he didn't bother to deal with Jin Chunming.

He turned his head casually, only to see a cold light rushing straight to the door in front of him, and his pupils immediately contracted in horror.
