Between the secluded mountains, Xiao Tang led his strong cavalry to sneak silently from time to time, and when he was sure that there were no thieves lurking around, he led the team to run all the way, and a horse army of nearly 200 people rode like the wind and lightning, and did not stop for a moment. The eighteen horsemen and one shot led by Xiao Tang and Hua Rong have been following their young master for a long time, and each athlete's horse control skills are undoubtedly very good, and the posture of the horses rising and falling under the crotch when they are urging them to ride and gallop is smooth and natural, and the rest of the horse army is also a man who can ride and fight carefully selected by Xiao Tang.

After learning that the thieves in Hedong were very likely to loot and burn against the Weisheng Army and the people in the townships and towns on the border of Fenzhou, Xiao Tang thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to personally lead a strong horse to find out the deployment and movements of the thief army. Although the number of about 200 light cavalry is small, it is difficult to fight with a large number of thieves, but the purpose of Xiao Tang's trip is only to detect the enemy's reality, if he encounters a large number of enemy troops, it is more convenient to turn back and break through.

As the commander of the first army, he personally led the rangers to explore the enemy's movements, and Guan Sheng, Xuanzan, Hao Siwen and other court generals also successively warned that this move was inappropriate, even if Xiao Tang intended to block the thieves in Hedong and save the people in Pingyao and Mianshang from being burned and plundered by the thieves, they should also lead several battalions of men and horses to set off together, so as to fight with the enemy.

But now, whether it is Xiao Tang or Xiao Jiasui, who is extremely intelligent, they can't assert whether the movements of the thief army are deliberately luring the officers and troops stationed in Tongyu County to rush into battle, but to design to make Xiao Tang's men and horses tired, if they can't bear it at this time, wouldn't it be easier to fall into the enemy's trap?

What's more, Xiao Tang has been presiding over the dispatch in the county and taking care of all kinds of affairs, which makes him even more idle. After all, in the past, when Xiao Tang was a court official or a co-owner of the green forest, he was more inclined to be a fierce general who shouted "brothers rush with me" and mobilized the morale of his own soldiers and horses than those generals who shouted "Brothers rush with me". Then decide whether to send a large number of men and horses to defeat the thief army that is wandering in the western border of the Wasion Army.

In Tonglu County, Luo Jianzheng and Wang Jin and others were busy with the resettlement of displaced people, the selection of new troops and other matters, and Xiao Tang led a light horse to go to the sentry to spy on him. Otherwise, that upright martial arts scholar would probably jump out again and admonish Xiao Tang, as the commander of the three armies, how could he easily go to danger......

"Brother, I have seen the path ahead, there are no thieves walking, and there are no uninhabited boundaries around me."

At this time, Niu Gao rode his horse to Xiao Tang's side and reported to him. Although Niu Gao is an honest and reckless man, he grew up in the deep mountains and old forests, and he made a living by selling firewood and hunting, so he had already honed the keen intuition of the hunters in the mountains. In addition, Wang Jin also taught him the matters that need to be paid attention to when he was a light cavalry sentry, although Niu Gao currently has no rank in the army, and he is only acting according to the dispatch of the former general of Xiao Tang's tent who is the envoy of the festival, but being a scout of a ranger sentry is also handy for Niu Gao.

Xiao Tang looked ahead, then nodded, and said, "It seems that there are thieves in front of you who are also ambushing according to danger." But we need to be cautious, and then assign a hundred horsemen to take care of the flanks. ”

Xiao Jiasui, Niu Gao, and Hua Rong all nodded when they heard this, and when the horse army walked along the mountain road for about ten miles, suddenly there was a faint shout of killing from the other side of the valley, Xiao Tang and the soldiers behind him immediately cheered up, among which Hua Rong listened attentively for a while, and reported to Xiao Tang: "Brother, the sound of the fight is still far from our position, it seems that even if there are thieves walking around, it is not aimed at us." ”

Xiao Tang gestured again, instructing the men and horses behind him not to make any noise, he frowned, and muttered: "Could it be that there is some village on the other side of the valley, which is now being sacked by the thief army?" ”

When Xiao Jiasui heard this, he also looked at the other side of the valley, and he speculated on the location by the time when his men and horses left the county seat and the direction of the march, so he said to Xiao Tangbao: "Brother Hao knows that these days I have asked the county government for the deployment map of the Weisheng Army and even the surrounding state capital city passes. On the other side of the valley, there doesn't seem to be any village or village, just a wild mountain and barren mountain, and it is called Shimuro Mountain......

”

"Kill!"

On the other side of the valley, nearly a thousand thieves burst out with beast-like fierceness in their eyes, and they all slashed out from both sides of the dense forest, waving their blades to kill a group of panicked pedestrians on the official road. The group of pedestrians were all dressed in plain clothes, and it seemed that they were going to mourn for the big family of that family, but now they never expected that the bloody disaster would now fall on their heads!

Among the pedestrians, although there were also a few Zhuang Ke Guards who knew some martial arts, they were not as powerful as the thieves, and they fell off their horses one after another under the attack from all directions, and were immediately chopped to death by the thieves with random knives. The rest of the bankers were all frightened, and they just wanted to escape from this place as soon as possible, and how could they dare to fight for their lives with the group of red-eyed robbers in front of them?

Another sharp arrow was fired, and the driver of the van in the middle of the group of pedestrians was killed by the arrow, and within a few moments, an elderly man in his fifties and a good-looking young woman rushed out of the van, and the two of them were also dumbfounded by the bloody scene before them, and they supported each other and ran to the north.

That was born so Peugeot! Halfway up the hill, a strongman leader saw that the young woman was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and she was also dressed in white plain clothes, and her goose egg face had two thin eyebrows like a crescent moon, and she had apricot eyes and peach cheeks.

And that strongman leader is Tian Hu, who looted and burned everywhere in the state capitals of Weisheng Army, Fenzhou and other states.

When Tian Hu ordered the leaders of the strongmen from all walks of life to lead their troops to scatter and loot all over Hedong Road to prepare military funds, he also led Tian Bao, Tian Biao and others to lead about 1,000 minions to ransack the villages under the rule of Mianshang County, Fenzhou, and a team of mourning chariots was being bumped into by Tian Hu's men. Tian Huxin said that now I am in charge of the strongmen in all parts of Hedong Road, and that group of stupid birds still dare to walk on the official road, since I bumped into it today, isn't it self-defeating?

At this moment, Tian Biaoxing, who had been fighting at the bottom of the mountain, hurriedly ran to Tian Hu's side, he wiped the blood on his face indiscriminately, and said: "Big brother, I have already asked about the boy I caught just now, and these men and women who are begging for death are all Zhuang Ke in the Qiushen Mansion in Mianshang County. ”

Honey on the Qiu Clan? I have also heard that Qiu Shen has a lot of wealth, but he is over fifty years old but has no heirs, and after being widowed, he continued to marry a big lady who is much younger than him, is it not the woman in front of him?

Tian Hu's mind moved, his pair of cold eyes looked at the old husband and young wife again, he snorted heavily, and scolded in his heart: Qiu Shen's old man is so good at creation, and the old cow eats tender grass and pleases such a good-looking mother-in-law! The rich and noble family really had a good fate, and the ordinary woman was cheap, just to wear gold and silver, she went straight to the arms of the rich bird!

Merely...... Lao Tzu is willing to cut his body, why dare to gather the strongmen of the green forest and the government to work hard? Isn't it just to eat fragrant, drink spicy, go to live the most lively days, and play with the most beautiful women? In peacetime, my Tianhu can't mess with those big households, but now in the chaotic season, your family is still rich, don't you still want to be the fish on Lao Tzu's chopping board!?

Today, I, Tian Hu, is going to kill your people, and then take away your lady, how can you get Lao Tzu?
