Chapter 173: Another Recruit?
The sound of horses' hooves was rapidly approaching, and the spears in the hands of the young men were trembling slightly under the firelight, which was caused by nervousness.
The gun formation of two rows of gunmen is still a little thin.
Huo Yuanjie was on crutches with one hand, but with the other hand he was holding a war knife, standing firmly at the front of the two rows of guns.
The young man who had not been practicing these exercises for a long time was a little nervous, but Huo Lichang's heart was as calm as water.
As a veteran of a hundred battles, he should die on the battlefield!
Li Yan held a sword in his hand and stood behind the gun array. Obviously, although he had the courage to face the approaching bandits and robbers, he Li Yan would not be strong until the young men in this township had not engaged the enemy in a short battle.
Huo Yi held a heavy crossbow in his arms and also stood behind the gun array.
The heavy crossbow is already wound and ready to be fired at any moment. As the head of the Huo family in Nanjun, although Huo Yi is young and his martial arts strength is not very good, he is quite proficient in playing this heavy crossbow, and within a hundred steps, he said that he will never explode his feet if he shoots his head.
Huo Yi was confident that as long as he met the robbers and bandits, he would be able to put down one person immediately. It is said that there are only about five or six robbers and bandits who attacked, plus the two young crossbowmen in the township, Huo Yi felt that this wave of robbers and bandits was actually not to be feared.
Glancing at the heavy crossbow in Huo Yi's hand and the long sword in Li Yan's hand, Huo Li was even less worried about the upcoming battle.
……
The sound of the horses' hooves soon approached, but a "whoo" was heard, but it was those who came who strangled their mounts.
Five or six horsemen appeared in the light of the firelight, but only lingered in the dim light a hundred paces away.
Apparently, a bonfire had been lit at the entrance of the village, and a small military formation was on guard, much to the surprise of the visitors.
"This is the desecrated water under the rule of Shangyong City, whoever is coming, report the name quickly!"
"If you are a passer-by, please take a detour; If it's a bandit or a bandit, Ben Li Chang advises you to go back to the cottage to wash and sleep. This place is only twenty miles away from Shangyong City, and the warning signal has been issued, and the officers and soldiers will arrive within half an hour! ”
Seeing the visitor wandering outside the light of the campfire, Horry asked, drank.
Although he is ready to fight, if he can not fight, Huo Li will naturally not rush to kill him.
As for saying that the officers and soldiers of Shangyong City will arrive within half an hour, this is a bluff.
Even if the garrison of Shangyong City saw this bonfire in the desecrated water to warn, they would not send troops out of the city to investigate in the middle of the night. Even if he investigated the situation in Shangyong City, he would only send a sentry after dawn.
However, the people on the other side didn't know that this was a bluff, right?
The five or six horsemen on the opposite side also seemed to be relieved when they heard the interrogation.
The knights jumped off their horses, and one of them gave his mount to his companion to lead, but he walked alone into the light of the campfire.
By the light of the fire, everyone realized that the person who came was just a teenager.
Perhaps because of the hurry, the young man was covered in dust, and his face was a little tired.
"A certain is Guan Ping of Wei County, recruited by Uncle Liu Huang, came to Shangyong City to join the army, because he missed the accommodation in a hurry, passed by Guibao Land, and wanted to enter the village to spend the night. Tomorrow morning, we will go to Shangyong City. ”
The young man walked twenty or thirty steps in front of the crowd and replied.
It is said that when he received Uncle Liu's solicitation letter, Guan Ping was overjoyed.
He was determined to take it on horseback, but his old father at home never allowed it; When Uncle Liu Huang's solicitation letter came, he didn't expect that the old father, who had always disagreed with his son's joining the army, actually allowed it.
Therefore, Guan Ping was in a hurry to pack up and go straight to the border of Hanzhong with five family members.
Jizhou Wei County to Hanzhong County, all the way thousands of miles, there are strongmen along the road, Guan Ping hurried to catch up, finally after the Mid-Autumn Festival, passing by Zhuyang Pass. After passing the Zhuyang Pass, Guan Ping traveled more than 200 miles a day, and then he missed the stay.
Seeing that there was only such a small township within a radius of ten miles, Guan Ping thought about spending the night here.
It's just that when he was close to the township, he suddenly saw a bonfire burning in the township, and there was a military formation to meet the enemy, which made Guan Ping dare not be rash.
Who knows if this township is inhabited by civilians or strongmen, or if it is simply a military camp where a certain force lurks?
Fortunately, the mayor of this township finally asked, and it would be easy to deal with it if there was an exchange.
……
"You were also recruited to come to Uncle Liu Huang?"
Huo Li looked at the young man in front of him, a little incredulous.
He didn't doubt what Guan Ping said.
It's just that Huo Lichang couldn't believe that Guan Ping was recruited by the lord Uncle Liu Huang Qianli at such a young age.
Guan Ping's current appearance looks like he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he can see at a glance that he is still a teenager. A young man, dressed as a warrior, what kind of ability can he have, worthy of the lord Qianli to write a letter to solicit?
This is unbelievable, in fact, it is more surprised and curious.
Huo Yi lifted the heavy crossbow in his arms again, and also looked at the young man named Guan Ping with curiosity.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old young martial artist is actually worthy of Uncle Liu Huang's personal letter to solicit?
Huo Yi didn't envy, jealousy, hatred or anything. He knows his own affairs, Huo Yi knows that although he is also a martial artist, his qualifications are like that, and it is still unknown whether he can enter the Condensation Gang Realm in his lifetime.
But the young man in front of him, since he is worthy of Uncle Liu Huang's personal letter to solicit, must have something extraordinary. If this makes everyone envious, jealous and hateful, then all the martial artists in the world, when facing the former Lu Fengxian, don't they all have to be envious, jealous and hateful to death?!
"Since it was recruited by Uncle Liu Huang, and he is fortunate enough to pass through my desecration water, then rest in me for one night!"
Huo Li put down the war knife in his hand and said to the young man in front of him quite friendly.
Since it wasn't bandits and bandits who came to rob, Huo Li was naturally a lot more relieved. What's more, this is actually a talent recruited by Uncle Liu Huang. Seeing that this young man is dressed as a martial artist, I am afraid that he will also be a good player in the army in the future.
Born in the military, Captain Huo Li is naturally more cordial to future generals in the army.
Li Yan looked at the young man and returned his sword to its sheath. is also a talent recruited by Uncle Liu Huang, Li Yan is naturally curious. Others didn't know why Uncle Liu Huang recruited them, but Li Yan was already faintly aware.
Uncle Liu Huang has been running around for so many years, how could he have taken the initiative to recruit talents like now?
I'm afraid, Uncle Liu Huang hasn't heard of him who Li Yan is, right?
Well, the young man in front of him is thousands of miles away in Wei County, and Uncle Liu Huang has naturally never heard of it.
Since Uncle Liu Huang hadn't heard of them, how could he have recruited them?
And Zhuge Kongming and Pang Shiyuan are both Jing Xiang Junjie. Especially that Zhuge Kongming, his wisdom made Li Yan feel the pressure. Therefore, if these two people were behind the scenes to promote Uncle Liu Huang to recruit talents, Li Yan still believed it.
