Shaanxi, Cheng County

Seven or eight knights lightly urged their horses and walked calmly on the official road. Behind them, a chaotic shout of killing was getting closer and closer.

Hearing the shouting and killing sound behind him getting closer and closer, the knight at the head frowned slightly, and then shouted a little irritably: "Tiger, Fang Liang, you two go and break them up, they are annoying." ”

"Yes, Uncle Hongji."

One of the knights, a slightly thin man, responded excitedly, turned his horse and rushed to the rear.

"Yes, big brother"

The other knight was a beat slower. He raised his hand and saw that the tiger had already turned his horse away, so he quickly turned his horse and hurriedly followed.

The two knights who turned around were very good riders. Along the official road, in just a dozen steps, the speed of the two war horses increased. The two knights drew their swords and rushed towards the chaotic crowd chasing behind.

In just a moment, several screams sounded continuously, suppressing the chaotic shouts and killing far away, and the four fields suddenly seemed much calmer.

The calm of the four fields did not last long. After a blink of an eye, a burst of screams of crying father and mother came at a louder volume. However, unlike the previous shouts and killings, these same irritating screams were moving towards Siye at a very fast speed.

Hearing the chaotic cries gradually moving away, Li Hongji, the knight at the head, had a smile on his face.

His name is Li Hongji, and he is a native of Lijiazhai, Mizhi County, Yan'an Prefecture. Just three months ago, he was a post guard at the Yinzhou Station in Mizhi County (Mizhi was known as Yinzhou in ancient times).

Although Mizhi County is under the jurisdiction of Yan'an Prefecture, Mizhi County is closer to Yulin Town (Yansui Town), one of the nine important towns of the Ming Dynasty.

Yulin Military Town is facing the Yellow River Hetao area, which is unusually rich in water and grass. Since the establishment of the Ming Nine-Border Military Town, Yulin Town is the military town that is under the heaviest pressure from the Mongolian departments in the Ming Dynasty.

Because of the fact that they often had to face various wars in the border of Mongolia, and Mizhi was not far from the original garrison of the Yulin General Army (Suide), the Mizhi folk style has always been unusually strong. Men like Li Hongji, who have danced guns and sticks since he was a child, rode horses and herded sheep, and have practiced a good kung fu are everywhere in Mizhi County.

However, since the fifth year of Longqing, after the Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian Altan Khan formally negotiated peace, the Hetao grassland has been in the hands of the pro-Ming Mongolian Sanniangzi clan, and Yulin Town has not heard the sound of swords and soldiers for almost 60 years.

Nearly 60 years of peace not only made the elite and abnormal Yulin Ming Army in the past quickly corrupted, but also made Li Hongji, a skilled archer and horse from the countryside, lose a broad road to advancement.

After his father, who served as a post guard in Yinzhou, died of illness, Li Hongji, who could not find another way to advance, had no choice but to inherit his father's business and became a post guard of Yinzhou Post in the Ming Dynasty.

Just when Li Hongji felt that he would be like his father, ordinary to death in the position of Yinzhou post guard, a sudden recruitment of a caravan gave him new hope.

Of course, Li Hongji admitted that the caravan's 2 taels of silver per month was also a major reason for his excitement to participate.

You must know that the monthly money of 2 taels of silver in January is the family of the guerrillas in Yulin Town, and it is just this salary.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that there was such a good thing, Li Hongji hurriedly pulled his friend Liu Fangliang, who was as skilled as him, and his nephew Li Guo, who was a few years older than him, over.

Thinking of the scene when he was recruited, Li Hongji still feels very fortunate now.

This caravan, which set up a sub-container in Suide, called the Brother Cargo Station, only summoned a total of 200 guards. At the time of recruitment, the number of sturdy men gathered by Guang Suide far exceeded this number. Not to mention the guards who came from Mizhi and Yulin Guard later.

If it weren't for the fact that he, Li Hongji, as a Yinchuan post officer, got the news much earlier than others, then even if the three of them were skilled in bows and horses, they might not necessarily be able to enter this caravan.

After entering the caravan, Li Hongji vaguely heard that the backstage of the caravan seemed to be big and boundless.

It's not a rumor, it's the biggest official who Li Hongji has ever seen, who passed by Yinzhou Station; Deng Chao and Deng Junmen, the general of Yulin Town, who was currently guarding Suide Town, even visited them in person, called the caravan gate called the Brother Cargo Station.

When he recognized the little hat in Tsing Yi who only had two entourage, Li Hongji's jaw hung down.

From where, Li Hongji suppressed his temperament and actively accepted the various training of the guards of this caravan with an incomparably deep background, without complaint. It was this positive attitude that allowed Li Hongji to quickly gain a firm foothold in the escort of the brother caravan.

This time, the caravan sent escorts to Cheng County to investigate the riots. Although Li Hongji didn't understand what happened to their caravan in Chengxian County, he still actively signed up.

Seeing Li Hongji sign up, Liu Fangliang and Li Guo also actively signed up.

The caravan divided the guards who volunteered to sign up into two teams, a team of seven or eight people, and let them enter the territory of Cheng County separately to observe closely.

Thinking of the task given to them by the caravan, Li Hongji couldn't help frowning.

The caravan's so-called approach observation, according to Li Hongji's understanding, means that the caravan asked them to do some work that the army did not collect at night.

The caravan is to let them explore the distribution of mobs in Cheng County!

It's just that Li Hongji doesn't quite understand how close this approach is.

Feeling the weak combat power of the mob along the way, Li Hongji had a bold idea.

Approaching, so did he arrive close to the county seat of Chengxian County to have a look?

As soon as this thought came to him, Li Hongji felt irrepressible for a while.

The other escort was led by a man named Han Gang. That Han Gang Li Hongji knew that he was born in the Yulin Border Army, and he was a serious night.

In the face of that kind of opponent, Li Hongji wants to be better than Han Gang's team, and if he doesn't risk going deeper, he is afraid that he will have no chance.

We have horses, and these mobs can't stop us! Let's go outside the county seat of Chengxian County and take a look.

Seeing his nephew Tiger (Li Guo) and his friend Liu Fangliang slowly walking back in circles, Li Hongji made up his mind.

"Let's all come down and rest." Li Hongji jumped off the horse and greeted a few people around him, and at the same time shouted at the two returning horses: "Fang Liang and the tiger will come down and rest." ”

"Uncle Hongji, these miscellaneous soldiers really don't need to be beaten."

Li Guo Shi Shiran hit the horse and came closer, simply turned over and jumped off the horse, and complained a little unsatisfied: "Uncle Hongji, these mobs, oh one can beat them 5, no, oh can beat them 10..."

As he spoke, Li Guo simply spread his hands and shouted: "Hey, uncle, as long as you allow it, oh one person can sweep away this group of mobs." ”

Ignoring Li Guo, who was dissatisfied, Li Hongji focused his gaze on Liu Fangliang's face.

Liu Fangliang nodded lightly: "Big brother, the tiger is not talking nonsense this time, these mobs really have no combat power." ”

Hearing Liu Fangliang's judgment, Li Hongji said happily: "Okay, then you should hurry up and rest, everyone will raise the horsepower." After a while, we will go straight to the county seat of Chengxian County to have a look! ”

The county seat of Chengxian County?

Hearing Li Hongji's words, even Li Guo, who was dissatisfied, was silent for a while.

The county seat of Chengxian County?

That's a place where the mob is concentrated, and just seven or eight of them, if they go, they won't be afraid that they won't come back?

The eyes of the group were fixed on Li Hongji's face.
