Chapter II
"Virtuous nephew, you must take care, take care of yourself!"
It sounds really a sentimental question, but unfortunately, when it is paired with the background of speaking, it is difficult for Yun Chongbo to be moved.
"Got it, but please concentrate on running for your life, don't bother me!!"
Roaring loudly, Yun Chongbo quickly sparked the spear in his hand to block the random arrows that kept shooting from behind.
At this time, it was already late at night, and the towering mountains on both sides were illuminated by the moonlight, casting a long group of shadows on the ground, forming an unfathomable huge black, like many ancient beasts lurking on the ground, waiting for a signal, they would break through the ground and pour out, and choose people to devour.
Under the moonlight, the sand and stones are like snow, the horse's hooves are trampling, the smoke and dust are splashing, and it is only like a wave in the moonlight. That feeling, but it's better not to follow behind more than a thousand pursuers.
Ten days ago, Yun Chongbo borrowed the sea to fall into a dream, set up the ambition of peace, and inadvertently waved the male knife created by the sea in the future, looking at the world, and destroyed the house with one sword, while the powerful impact also made all his injuries disappear, and there was no trace of him.
Suddenly found that his transportation power was no longer barrier-free, Yun Chongbo was naturally ecstatic, and when he knew that his strength had recovered to the realm of the eighth level of the initial order that he had only briefly reached after the death of Gongsun Bosi, Yun Chongbo was even more overjoyed, but... At the same time as he was happy, that kind of commotion also attracted the attention of the local garrison, and, to make Yun Chongbo's mood complicated, they didn't know who Yun Chongbo or Xiao Wenshuang were, but they recognized that what grew on Hua Shengrong's neck was a head that Heishui Tuoba swore by the general of the Black Water Army, and even sold a thousand taels of silver to buy it.
If Xiao Wenshuang is concerned, this is a good opportunity to get rid of Hua Shengrong, and even, she had the opportunity to tie Hua Shengrong directly to the black sailors at that time, saving the meaning of any more subtleties, but unfortunately Yun Chongbo did not accept it, but took action to stop it, and when his skills were restored, he couldn't grasp the light and heavy joints for a while, and when the entire squad of more than 20 soldiers who arrived at the scene first was all scattered, that kind of thing could no longer be ignored by the generals who commanded the garrison.
… And then, that's how it keeps running.
If you win with martial arts, no one in the formation behind you is Yun Chongbo Xiao Wenshuang's general, with the cooperation and strength of the two at the moment, there are hundreds of people to attack, and there is enough strength to destroy it, in fact, in the first few days, the black sailors who fell under the hands of the two of them did exceed 100 horses, but the Black Water Military Commission, which originated from the grassland desert like Xiang Ren, is really brave and abnormal, and has more indomitable will, although the two are strong, but when there are more and more black water troops in front of them, Worried about revealing their identities so that the Taiping Dao people in Jinzhou could not fight any longer, so they had to choose to take the horse and flee, but the Black Water Army was also really stoic, and they chased after the tail without abandoning, although, for the honor of their own camp, the more than 1,000 cavalry belonging to the Heishui An clan did not send a signal for help to the garrisons in the surrounding towns, but under their pursuit who were proficient in bow horses and tracking techniques, Yun Chongbo and the other four people were never able to get rid of it, and in this way, they fled for ten days in a row, Compared with the beginning, it has gone far into the northwest region, twists and turns, and has escaped for more than a thousand miles.
"These guys are too idle, aren't they?! If you are so free, why don't you go to the border to fight the people! ”
Grumbling angrily, Yun Chongbo still didn't forget the Yiren who opened the way in front of him, and said in a long voice: "Wenshuang, are you okay over there... There was no ambush, right? ”
Then I could hear it, and a clear voice said in the distance: "... Please rest assured. The voice was a little hesitant, as if it had an unfinished meaning, but it was not spoken.
After recovering his strength, Yun Chongbo's long-suppressed self-esteem also woke up, and he refused to let Xiao Wenshuang come to Fengdi first, insisting that the work of opening the way ahead was more important and dangerous, and he forced Xiao Wenshuang to protect Xiaoyin and flee in front, and he and Hua Shengrong broke off to protect him.
In this regard, Xiao Wenshuang undoubtedly disagreed with it very much, but Yun Chongbo's will this time was surprisingly firm, and she was not allowed to argue at all, so she made a decision in a commanding tone, although she was not used to it, but after a short silence, Xiao Wenshuang accepted it silently.
… At this moment, the one who rushed to the front was Xiao Wenshuang, who had always been accustomed to standing between Yun Chongbo and the army.
(But, after all, Childe is injured, and it's also inexplicable, the soldiers are in danger, if there is any accident...) )
Thinking like this, Xiao Wenshuang's heart was like fire, and he almost turned back to the horse, but he finally worried about Yun Chongbo's tone, and was a little reluctant to disobey his intentions, although he was worried in his heart, he did not rein in the horse's head.
"Sister, sister, you are so amazing."
The voice from behind Xiao Wenshuang was timid and should be considered very polite, but as soon as she heard this voice, Xiao Wenshuang only felt that her heart was on fire, and she couldn't suppress it.
Xiao Wenshuang needless to say, Yun Chongbo Hua Shengrong also dealt with the work of riding horses, but the weak girl Xiaoyin had no ability to control horses at all, and she trembled with fright when she saw the fierce horse snorting and gouging hooves, and in the end, she cried and said that the three of them should leave her behind, don't drag her down anymore, but Yun Chongbo is this kind of person? Helpless, let Xiao Wenshuang ride with her, fortunately, Xiaoyin is a weak female stream, Xiao Wenshuang is not growing up, the horsepower is still supportable, and it is not enough to drag down the escape speed of the four people, but Xiao Wenshuang already has a big opinion on Xiaoyin, and always feels that if it is not for her delay, the two of them can leave by boat on the same day, and there will be no more things later, let alone not only can't go south like now, but will have to flee for their lives on the land of Jinzhou again. In addition, every time Xiaoyin shows her weakness and uselessness, Xiao Wenshuang, who has always promised herself with her own strength and wisdom, will feel disgust and disdain, and... Whenever Hua Shengrong or Shockwave showed concern for Xiaoyin, Xiao Wenshuang, who had strong self-control, would have a faint hatred echoing in his heart.
But, hate is hate, Xiao Wenshuang is a person who attaches importance to responsibility and commitment, and is not a person who will be swayed by feelings and eventful, since she promised to protect Xiaoyin and open the way ahead, she will not deliberately do something to make Xiaoyin uncomfortable, at this moment, even if her heart is angry, she just said lightly: "The girl has won the award." Although he was polite, the coldness in his voice that he didn't want to say much was self-evident.
Xiaoyin didn't seem to hear Xiao Wenshuang's displeasure, blinked her eyes, and said, "But, sister, doesn't it really matter if you let Yun Gongzi be alone in the back?" I think you seem to be actually better than him, there are so many people in the back, it's so dark...", looked back, and exclaimed: "Ah, why can't you see them!" ”
The two of them were in front of them, and they had just turned around a corner of the mountain at this moment, Xiaoyin looked back, and naturally couldn't see Yun Chongbo Hua Shengrong, Xiao Wenshuang heard it in his ears, and he just sneered in his heart, but somehow, he was a little worried, he gritted his teeth, and said in his heart: "No, even if he is unhappy, he still has to go back!" Holding only the reins, the horse neighed, the person stood up, and he had already turned half of his body, Xiaoyin exclaimed, and hugged Xiao Wenshuang's waist tightly, Xiao Wenshuang frowned, extremely disgusted, but in the end he held back and didn't kick her off the horse. But he was suddenly startled, and his whole body was as tense as a bow!
I could hear that there was a bowstring sound vibrating in the air, if the gold and stone struck, there was a sharp whistling, tearing the wind through the air, and winning a sound, which was nailed to Xiao Wenshuang's horse one step ahead, and it was an eagle feather aconite arrow, the arrow power was so strong that it was hard to stiffen under the feet, and the horse pedal was only nailed into a few inches on the ground with shallow traces!
The arrow entered the ground, the tail vibrated gently, and Xiao Wenshuang's back was already covered with cold sweat!
This arrow, if she hadn't just turned around at that time, even if she couldn't kill her, at least one of her arms would have been abolished!
(It's... )
Taking a deep breath and condensing his mind, Xiao Wenshuang raised his guard to the highest level, his eyes condensed, and he looked at the mountain rock in front of him, which was not in the darkness and was at least two hundred steps away from here.
(There will be an ambush, could it be the forces that the Wanyan family has allocated in advance?!) However, in this case, wouldn't it be more reliable to block directly at the Liupan Pass... )
At the same time, Xiao Wenshuang's eyes were also burning with heat and anger, and that arrow was not completely unfamiliar to her.
(If it's really the guy who plotted against them that day, you must not let go of this clue!) )
On the rock, the archer, who sighed softly, handed his longbow to his men at his side, and made a gesture to teach them to summon their mounts.
Since the blow is useless, with Xiao Wenshuang's skills, he will not give others a second chance, although it is a pity, but he still has important things, he does not want to and cannot spend too much time here, let alone put himself in danger, to risk dealing with an angry and uninjured Xiao Wenshuang head-on.
Turning over and getting on the horse, before he hit the horse, he squinted and looked at the valley below, inside, Xiao Wenshuang was concentrating on observing the movement here, Yun Chongbo and Hua Shengrong were running desperately, and, behind, about a thousand black sailors were chasing after him, and nearly a third had chased into the valley.
Shaking his head slightly, he looked extremely lonely, and said to his deputy: "Kill them all." As he spoke, he rode away, and behind him, with the red flag waved by the pair's hand, hundreds of long arrows that had already been wrapped in rags dipped in fire oil were shot out quickly and attacked down the mountain.
The flames were raging, and the frenzied lines of fire intertwined into the air, turning into a great net of death, and shrouded in anger and horror below, followed by a nightmarish roar, unincomprehensible and seemingly meaningless, but terrifying, on the mountains on both sides, almost madly raised!
Amid the shouts, the cavalrymen who were lying in ambush on the hills on either side of the mountains ignored the dangerous mountain and rushed down.
In the deep darkness of the night, the black cavalry rode the black strong horses, rushing down the mountain wall that seemed to stand upright, and in the black whirlwind of death, only the blood-thirsty blades flickered... The horror that can only occur in nightmares cannot be compared to the scene at this moment.
In the face of this surging black tide, a strange smile appeared on Xiao Wenshuang's face, an expression that was almost a cruel smile.
“… Come on. ”
The next moment, the screams began to sound incessantly, and the chaotic and bloody waves soon engulfed the entire canyon.
"What people!"
"Who the hell are you?!"
Questioning mixed with panic and fear was repeated throughout the valley, accompanied by the sound of swords swinging, flesh and bones broken, blood splattering, and life sudden.
"Well, who the hell are they?"
Suspiciously asked, he had already met with Xiao Wenshuang and the others, and retreated to Yun Chongbo in a better defensive terrain, and behind him, Hua Shengrong was shouting that he was unlucky.
"Virtuous nephew, are you particularly involved in these things, why, why do you always let me get involved with you!"
Just now, the four of them suddenly encountered snipers from both wings and directly in front of them while fleeing, and they thought "Oh no! But then they found out that although these people were menacing, they were not coming for their own group.
The first wave of arrows had killed more than fifty of the Black Sailors who had rushed to the forefront, and then, these cavalrymen as terrifying as the night had divided the Black Sailors that had formed the shape of a long dragon into several sections and began to attack wantonly.
In terms of combat power, the Black Sailors can be called one of the strongest troops of the day, but the huge contrast from the sudden change from hunters to prey, and the black hell-like world, made their reactions slower, and fully grasped this momentary opportunity, those cavalry not only scattered their ranks, but also beheaded several officers who were the first to react and stand up to reorganize the army.
It was not a battle at all, but a massacre that gave the upper hand until more than two hundred corpses fell to the ground, and the Blackwater Army woke up from their unexpected panic, and the troops cut off outside the canyon were finally organized and began to charge into the valley, hoping to rescue the remaining people.
After that, it was a melee, the blades had been stained red by blood The black cavalry was divided into two roads, roaring out from the canyon, like two huge butcher knives, forcibly cutting into the array of the Black Water Army, even though the Black Water Army had reorganized its discipline and the will to fight back, but these mysterious warriors, who seemed to have the highest courage and self-confidence, completely ignored the random arrows in front of them, they rolled towards the Black Sailor formation with a momentum like a mountain torrent and a sea, although the dozen or so people in front were shot like hedgehogs and fell, but, before the second round of arrows was fired, they, He has entered the Blackwater Army, which is in deep consternation, and has begun to slash and kill the archers in the front row.
In fact, in terms of numbers, the number of these cavalry is not more than that of the Blackwater Army, or even slightly less, and it seems that there are only about 900 people in total, but in the face of the Blackwater Army, which is on the verge of collapse in terms of military spirit and order, they have completely grasped the initiative on the battlefield.
"Whoever it is, it doesn't seem to be coming at us anyway."
Frowning, Xiao Wenshuang said.
The opponent's army was covered from the mountain, and Xiao Wenshuang had already prepared the equipment for a death battle, but the officer who rushed to the front simply raised his hand and rushed past her without any defense, and after that, those black warriors really rushed straight to the black water army behind without any attack on the four of them, and carried out a fierce and cruel attack.
On the surface, these people are at least not enemy soldiers, but Xiao Wenshuang's arrow makes Xiao Wenshuang unable to let go: if it is said that it was shot by mistake... Why, then, did the man who shot the arrow never appear without any explanation?
At this time, the battle situation has gradually turned back into the canyon: after breaking through the array of the Black Water Army, the two teams of black cavalry horses turned around in the rear of the other party and began to gradually drive the Black Water Army into the canyon.
"These people, are they going to wipe out the Blackwater Army here?!"
Trying to observe the situation, Yun Chongbo suddenly understood when he saw that those black cavalry would not hesitate to trample on any wounded soldiers of the Black Water Army who fell, and those Black Sailors who left the main battlefield in panic would be chased and shot from behind.
"Yes."
Having already seen the same thing, Xiao Wenshuang said in a deep voice:
"The Black Water Army below, I'm afraid none of them will survive."
Yun Chongbo trembled and said, "What's the trouble with this..."
After a pause, he said, "They might as well vote...", but he closed his mouth before he finished speaking.
Not far below the four of them, a black sailor, who seemed to have completely collapsed, dropped his bow and knife, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed bitterly, only to get a knife that split him in half.
"They're not prepared to take prisoners, Childe."
"This is war..."
As if sighing, Xiao Wenshuang said, "That person came to look for us." ”
Sure enough, the black cavalry who split the black sailors with a knife, with Xiao Wenshuang's words, raised his head and looked at the place where the four people were, and then, loudly pulled out a whistle, he rode his horse up the mountain, galloped towards the four of them, and went straight to the time when the four of them were only ten steps away before he reined in the mount, and looked at the four people with blazing eyes, it was the officer who took the lead in passing by Xiao Wenshuang's side.
After glaring at Yun Chongbo for a while, he suddenly pulled out his knife and swung it in the air a few times, pointing at the mouth of the gorge on the other side.
Hua Shengrong was overjoyed and said: "Excellent, virtuous nephew, people let us go, let's go quickly, virtuous nephew..."
Xiao Wenshuang suddenly said, "Are you a person?" ”
The man's shoulder shook, and his eyes lit up with fierceness.
Xiao Wenshuang sneered, and the mystery in her heart was solved. Said: "Are you from the Jin clan?" ”
Originally, this place was the north of Liupan Mountain, located in the west of Jinzhou, still in the south of Xingqing, it is said that it is impossible to be infiltrated by the Xiang army, but as early as the grassland escape that day, Xiao Wenshuang knew that Guigu Fulong and Xiang people really colluded, and he was the mastermind who had mastered the military and political power of the Yan family, and it was not difficult to secretly cross more than 1,000 Xiang troops into Jinnan, although Xiao Wenshuang couldn't figure out what his intentions were for a while, but she believed that with these materials, it was enough to solve another question in her heart.
Hearing Xiao Wenshuang's questioning, the man seemed to be intolerant of it anymore, and crossed his chest with a knife, and said: "Wu Na barbarian, the young master is merciful and lets you walk, but do you have to seek death?!" The tone is very stiff, and it is not a summer accent.
As soon as the word "young master" came out, Xiao Wenshuang suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly!
In the midst of laughter, she hissed: "Jin Luonao, it's really you!" "In the laughter, there is bitter hatred!
As soon as he heard this, the person couldn't bear it anymore, roared, rode his horse forward, raised the saber in his right hand, and slashed at Xiao Wenshuang's left shoulder blade!
Xiao Wenshuang didn't move, glared at him, and sneered: "Look for death." As soon as he said that, the man suddenly screamed miserably, rolled off the horse, and convulsed a few times, and was no longer alive.
In his chest, a carved arrow was already inserted, and it was piercing through his heart. Judging by the momentum of the arrow, it was shot from the rear of the four people.
Hua Shengrong was taken aback, turned over and rolled down suddenly, and said in a trembling voice: "Virtuous nephew, what's going on, virtuous nephew..."
In the darkness, a hoarse male voice laughed: "Good concentration, good courage." ”
And he said, "When did you two find us?" ”
The muscles on Xiao Wenshuang's face moved, but she didn't speak, she only waved her hand back, Yun Chongbo was stunned, and said, "I didn't find you, I only found your subordinates." ”
He added, "I found it when I went up the mountain." ”
The man's voice laughed a few times, and suddenly said, "Then you are not as good as this subordinate of yours." ”
When Xiao Wenshuang Yun Chongbo and the two of them trembled, the male voice had already laughed loudly: "If you are interested, you can continue to watch the fire here, as long as we go down the mountain, no one will be able to rush up." ”
His voice is actually very young, but the tone of his voice is quite weird, it has a strange taste, it sounds quite uncomfortable, Xiaoyin has frowned a little, and even Hua Shengrong has a bitter face.
Yun Xiao and the others couldn't help but be surprised!
Xiao Wenshuang turned her head and looked at Yun Chongbo, there was a slight doubt in her eyes, Yun Chongbo hesitated, nodded, but did not speak.
When the man first began to speak, he was mixed with the miserable shouts and shouts at the bottom of the mountain, and he couldn't hear it very clearly, until this moment, he laughed and talked proudly, and the two of them realized at the same time that the voice was actually familiar!
At this time, there was a rumbling sound like thunder horses' hooves on the mountain, and the man was already laughing and laughing: "Sons, go down and kill yourself!" ”
Screaming, dressed in light armor, with only a cloth towel wrapped on his head, the third force appeared from the mountain tonight, divided his troops into several roads, and went down to the canyon, and the man who rushed to the front rode a high-headed black horse, dressed in a crimson fashion, but there was no armor inside, just an ordinary cloth coat, and no helmet, so he was dressed in messy hair, carrying a long bow, hanging an arrow bag from his waist, and carrying a gold lance in his right hand, the first one rushed from the side of the four, while still laughing: "The son of a daughter, you can't sit down... But, if it's a man, let's go down and kill people!" ”
Yun Chongbo was stunned for a moment, only to feel that the blood in his chest was boiling, and he couldn't help but run down with him, but he saw Xiao Wenshuang frowning slightly, with the intention of stopping, and couldn't help but stop, but he felt that the heroic spirit in his chest was circling endlessly out of nowhere, and he couldn't bear it, shouted, and walked out of the sea, beating the horse down, while still whispering to Xiao Wenshuang: "I'm sorry." "I'm already a little short of breath.
Xiao Wenshuang smiled bitterly and said to Hua Shengrong: "Mr. Hua, please take care of Miss Xiaoyin." Without waiting for him to answer, he dismounted his crotch and chased Yun Chongbo.
There is a saying that "the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind." "Although the Xiang army's army crushed the order of the Blackwater Army with a surprise attack and extremely sharp tactics, and forced them to death, they did not expect that another army was peeping behind, and the two teams that had attacked outside the valley were okay, but the nearly three hundred Xiang people who stayed in the valley to outflank the rear road of the Blackwater Army bore the brunt of the attack and fell into great luck, just like the Blackwater Army of Fangcai, under the first round of impact of the opponent, they fell by about a third, and if it weren't for the fact that this army did not use bows and arrows as the first round of strikes, It is more likely that they will lose far more troops.
In front of the formation, the man was the first to enter the Xiang Ren formation, and three people had been assassinated in a moment, and Yun Chongbo then killed, dancing in the sea, and also cut down two Xiang people: he was originally very kind and hesitant, and he had never been able to let go of his hands and feet to kill the enemy in front of the formation, but tonight he was chased and killed for more than ten days, and his sullen breath had already been filled to the point of not vomiting or being unhappy, and secondly, this man seemed to have an indescribable charm, which made Yun Chongbo not free the master, but he felt that the blood was boiling in his chest, and he wanted to swing his blade like him in the army and show his majesty.
The two of them rushed into the Xiang Ren formation from different directions, but the man was fast and fierce, and no one could stop him from joining him, and after a while, he had already broken through the Xiang Ren formation, and the crotch of the horse neighed, and then turned back, and was facing the cloud Chongbo, stretched out a hand to him, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is a good man." ”
Yun Chongbo was rarely praised in person like this, and he was very surprised, and said with a smile: "You are polite." ”
And he said, "Why don't you use bows and arrows?" ”
These people rushed down directly from the mountain, and Yun Chongbo originally said that they did not have bows and arrows, but when he rushed with the crowd just now, he had found that each knight also carried bows and arrows, so he was a little curious.
You must know that when you are in battle, bows and arrows are definitely sharp weapons to kill the enemy, especially when you are attacking from above, if you fire arrows randomly, the people in Shicai Valley will fall sixty or seventy more.
The man rubbed the saddle with Yun Chongbo and laughed, "Bow and arrow? ”
"Can that thing grab the captive's belt? Does that stuff make blood splash all over your face? ”
In the middle of speaking, there was a cavalry warrior, who seemed to be a small leader, with red eyes, and struck at the man from the side, Yun Chongbo was shocked: "Hey, you be careful of that..." The man sneered, and shouted violently, and handed over his left hand, and his right hand brushed up, and out of nowhere, he took out a soft sword, and picked it up, splitting the person from the right flank to the shoulder, and even the horse's head fell to the ground, the sword was really too fast, although the person was even torn apart by the horse, the horse still didn't stop, and rushed forward a few steps, It didn't stop until it hit the man, and blood gushed from the horse's neck, staining half of the man's body red.
The man was like a sea of blood, but he seemed to be extremely happy, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his face, and ate the residual blood on his lips, and said with a cruel smile: "See, brother? ”
"With a bow and arrows? With a bow and arrow, how can there be such supreme enjoyment; With bows and arrows, they..."
As he spoke, the man stretched out his red right hand and pointed it across the battlefield.
"How can they understand the true meaning of war, how can they become real warriors?"
As he pointed, Yun Chongbo saw a scene like hell on earth: under the pursuit of this man's subordinates, Xiang Ren, who seemed to be invincible, collapsed, was wantonly divided and killed, and fell one by one in the wail.
In fact, this man's subordinates were only three or four hundred, and although they were slightly more than Xiang Ren in number, they did not have much advantage, and their equipment was not good: most of them were lightly armed, and those with armor were only two or three out of ten, and the swords and spears were simple, the horses were not elite horses, and the sergeants were not strong, but they had an extremely strange and terrifying atmosphere when they were fighting.
Those people, when they were fighting for life and death, didn't even have any "feeling".
Like a group of puppets, they are fighting with knives and guns, but there is no feeling on their faces, they are not afraid, they are not angry, they are not shocked, they seem to have turned the battle into an instinct, with a kind of "maximum efficiency" in the mechanical execution of the action that can kill the enemy.
It's not that their bodies won't hurt, but even if they are swords, they won't waste time crying or convulsing, they just take advantage of this opportunity to give the enemy a stronger reward.
They didn't even have a hateful expression, they actually put away all their feelings and condensed them into the wisdom of battle.
A group of fighters who are completely devoid of any "superfluous moves", a group of fighters whose only claim is "victory", for which they can put down any bet ... Isn't this the dream of all commanders throughout the ages?
(How is such a person trained...) )
Secretly surprised in his heart, Yun Chongbo suddenly felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet and rush to the top of his head.
"Brother..."
The shoulder was slapped heavily by a big hand, and the man had returned to Ma Zhiyun Chongbo, smiling and patting him on the shoulder.
"See, this is the battlefield."
"This is the flesh and blood battlefield that has made countless heroes and heroes, emperors and generals intoxicated and obsessed with throughout the ages..."
… For the first time, when someone else patted him on the shoulder, Yun Chongbo would feel a chill from the heart. With a shudder, he gently shook his shoulders and removed the man's hand.
… However, at the same time, he also had a strange feeling that he had never experienced before, hidden in his heart, for the first time, he suddenly had some inexplicable desire for the game of "fighting", and for the first time, he suddenly felt that the blood in front of him was not so disgusting.
When Yun Chongbo was stunned on the battlefield, Xiao Wenshuang was also observing.
Although he was worried about Yun Chongbo, he didn't want to go against his will too much, and at the same time, he wanted to find out the details of this new force, Xiao Wenshuang galloped down, but he didn't follow Yun Chongbo closely, but covered his flank and rear in a place that was not very far from him, and at the same time, he also seized the opportunity in this formation to observe some details of this army.
Soon, she had seen something that Yun Chongbo couldn't understand.
(Clothing, and some facial features...) These people seem to be soldiers? )
When the term "garrison" first appeared, it referred to an army that was always stigmatized, but today, it refers only to a group of indigenous people in Golden State.
Nine hundred years ago, the third emperor of the Xiao family in Pingjiang, the emperor Baiye was trapped in the north, Lai Congchen Sun Liang saved his life with a phantom body, and made a painful decision, changed the Wenzhi, greatly revitalized the internal affairs, and made an oath of "not revitalizing the military revolution" to the sky, but Jinzhou is located in the northwest, it was the old land of Zhuwu, and the Xia people were very few, and the court and the central government could not avoid the worry of "I abandon the other and take it, and do not attach it for a long time". And in the long run, after intermarriage with the indigenous people of the other place for several generations, the children can not be separated, the blood relationship can not be distinguished, and the people's hearts will naturally attach to the summer.
According to the "Book of Pingjiang", some people also questioned at that time: How many soldiers can Yuntun Shu have to invest in Jinzhou, but a tree into the forest, how can they be used to transform the natives there? Or was Wang Qian, the head of the Langya royal family at that time, supported his proposal, the Tao is not many people, he cares about the victory of the Dao, with the essence of the Central Plains characters, thousands of years of romance, how can it be turned into a barbarian?
At that time, the court and the Chinese were discussing, and the main garrison was extremely lonely, and the two Qiu Ao families of the civil and military families of the country were not what they said, Wang Qianzhi was the only one to discuss, and said calmly: "The desires of the people are all beautiful and ugly, and they are all happy and annoying. Do you know the method of weaving mulberry hemp in Daxia and still love to wear skin and hair? Do you know the beauty of Daxia women's singing and dancing and still love the rough and ugly posture? Who knows the use of gold ornaments and iron tools and loves stone knives and wooden ploughs? The first king of the husband has clouds, the border is the one who transforms the border, the song and dance are better than the dry relatives, the poetry and the book are better than the swords, and now the place is in line with the way of the saints, it is convenient for the people to settle the side, and the ancient ears, although the hair is in a hurry and it is still too late, how can it be repeated to discuss the time? ! ”
In history, on the day of the palace, "everyone was depressed and couldn't speak, and the emperor discussed it and did it." ”
Subsequently, within 15 years, a total of more than 700,000 people and soldiers were moved to Jinzhou and lived in Tuntian, and since then they have been the people of Jinzhou, all of whom are called "Tunshu".
At that time, the north of Jinzhou is secluded, the water and soil are vicious, the people are unwilling to go, the first people are all vicious, they were forcibly sent to the west after being arrested, or they took the initiative to join the army to avoid disasters, so the reputation was extremely unbearable, and there was a "good iron Mo nail, good man Mo Jin Bing." It was not until decades later that the first batch of soldiers gradually took root in Si, and the members of the court traveled west to check, and when they returned to the emperor's capital, there were still clouds, "all of them are bandits and fierce criminals." ”
Since then, time flies, nearly a thousand years have flashed, although Jinzhou is still being peeped at by foreign races, but as Wang Qianzhi expected, with the reclamation of this group of people, the local people of Jinzhou gradually returned to Xia, although the Xiang people have repeatedly entered the Kou, but can only plunder, can not be restored as a pastor, let alone take the heart of the people to Xia. And Jinzhou, which used to be the base for foreign races to raid the imperial capital, became the first buffer for the Xia people to resist the Wuxiang clans.
In this way, the Tun soldiers have made great achievements, but because of their earliest background and intermarriage with the local people of Jinzhou, they have always been subject to all kinds of discrimination, in addition to the inconvenience of their children in the entrance examination, migration and other things, they are also regarded as inferior by the Xia people in the mainland, and they have not been regarded as pure Xia people, and they cannot be treated equally.
(This guy is obviously a nobleman in the Central Plains, but he has gathered so many soldiers who have always been despised by nobles as subordinates, and he has never heard of such a thing, what is his origin...) )
Suspicious, Xiao Wenshuang pulled the reins of the horse, and slowly walked towards Yun Chongbo and the man.
At this time, the battle outside the valley has gradually come to an end, although it has not been able to achieve the goal of combining the inside and the outside, but in the face of the Black Sailors who were on the verge of collapse in the morning, those Xiang people still achieved a complete advantage, under the endless impact, the front of the Black Sailors can no longer support, and begins to gradually collapse.
At this time, the Xiang people in the valley had almost been killed by the man's subordinates, and when they saw this, the excited black sailors began to retreat and retreat towards the man's line.
Sneering, the man didn't say a word, and put his hammer across his horse, silently watching.
Beside him, Yun Chongbo, who began to feel that the atmosphere was wrong, was extremely confused, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he could only watch blankly.
Startled, he finally found that the bow and arrow that had not been used in Shicai had been held by the man's subordinates, and it was at this moment that the man suddenly laughed and shouted, "Release!" ”
With a swipe, the bowstrings vibrated in unison, and hundreds of flying arrows swept through the air, drawing an arc, and landed ten paces in front of the man's horse, forming a neat barrier.
At that moment, the black sailors who were running at the front just approached ten paces in front of the men's horses, and the arrows that rained down almost shot them squarely.
Staring at the black sailor, who was almost stupid for a while, the man's lips floated into a weird smile, and suddenly he shouted, "Got it?!" ”
"On the battlefield, there will be no unexpected miracles, and there will be no rescuers falling from the sky!"
"If you want to kill, people want to kill you, if you want to live, no one can rely on you except yourself!"
"The sword has no eyes, why should others rush in to save you? Unless you're worth enough to put others at risk! ”
"I will save you, but first prove that you are worthy of my rescue!"
"Don't you have more than 500 people? Isn't there only more than 600 people on the other side?! ”
As he spoke, the man suddenly shouted, his right arm shook, and he threw the lance in his hand to the right cliff hard, only to hear a snatch, the eight-foot lance actually pierced into the cliff four feet deep, only half of the lance tail was exposed, shaking gently.
Shuo Fang took off his hand, the man had untied the longbow on his back, pulled it round, snorted, the iron arrow left the string, and hurriedly chased the long lance, with a bang, it had pierced into the tail of the lance, and then heard a sound of touching, and a turquoise fire ball ignited on the tail of the arrow, which shook gently in the night sky, and looked very weird.
The man looked at the people of the Black Water Army and said, "This fire is refined with secret medicine, and it can be burned for three moments. ”
"If I can support the fire until the fire is extinguished, I will come to your rescue, and if I can't even survive this little time..."
"You waste, you can only work hard to avenge you!"
When he spoke, his attitude was extremely contemptuous, and the black sailors were so red that their eyes were about to drip blood, and they suddenly shouted, turned around in unison, and strode away from the valley mouth like a desperate stride!
About half an hour later, the Taniguchi Sutra was already blurred with flesh and blood, and hundreds of mutilated corpses were lying crookedly, blocking nearly half of Taniguchi.
The sound of horses' hooves was tight, and as they faded away, it was the leader of the people who had admitted their defeat and had led his army back.
In the battle to the death for about half an hour, Xiang Ren killed and wounded more than seventy percent of the Blackwater Army, but it seemed to have received some wonderful power support, and the fighting spirit of the Blackwater Army was high, and they would rather die than retreat, and they would rather maintain the battle line at the mouth of the valley to the death, and did not allow Xiang Ren to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
In the repeated impact, Xiang people also paid the price of more than 100 dead and nearly 200 light and serious wounded, and after repeated calls, they could not get a response from the troops in the valley, and could not achieve the planned internal and external attacks, and when the Black Water Army was completely annihilated, the leading Xiang people understood that the battle could not continue, and finally, after three rounds of neat arrow rain, Xiang people began to retreat in an orderly manner, announcing the survival of the remnants of the Black Water Army.
At this time, there were only a little more than 100 people left on the position of the entire Black Water Army, and all of them were wounded, the heavy ones were split and their arms were broken, and the light ones were damaged and their faces were broken, all of them were covered with blood and were exhausted.
In the battle, they have put their courage, energy, physical strength... The desire for "life" and the fear of "death" are the driving forces that enable them to support in this way, and now, when the crisis has finally passed, when "survival" has finally ceased to be a fragile bubble and has become a real reality, they have lost all their vitality with the first breath of the long exhale, and they have collapsed one after another.
The tiredness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow made them not even have the strength to open their eyes, and with their eyes closed, they threw themselves into the blood, and several of them were already snoring slightly.
That kind of laughter, which made them extremely unhappy and seemed extremely harsh, was raised high at this moment.
Laughing wildly, the man slowly rode his horse to the mouth of the valley, to the black sailors.
Although he felt that the result would definitely make him look stupid, Yun Chongbo couldn't help it and asked, "... You, why are you laughing? ”
The man glanced at him, and suddenly smiled: "You don't have to, my surname is Zhao, you can call me Brother Zhao, or call Brother Zhao directly." ”
He smiled again: "I laugh at the leader of the Xiang people, although he is fierce and cautious, after all, he doesn't know how to fight." ”
"If I use my troops, I will bring them back at this time, and such fatigue will not be lost?"
Fang Yang whipped and shouted: "Get up!" ”
His voice was not loud, but it was like thunder, low in his ears, very sober, although those black sailors were extremely tired, but somehow, they still managed to get up one by one.
The man glanced at everyone and smiled, "Do you know what war is now?" ”
Many of the black sailors were stunned, but they didn't know how to answer him.
It stands to reason that half of the reason why these Black Sailors suffered so heavy casualties could also be blamed on this man, if he didn't force the troops to turn around and block the valley mouth, but led the army to participate in the battle, no matter what, the Black Sailors would not have died so many people.
However, in their hearts, they couldn't have the slightest resentment towards this man, but they all had some unclear admiration.
Glancing at the troops, the man suddenly smiled and said, "Very good, you still understand." ”
He added: "If anyone has half a bit of resentment in his eyes, he is not worthy of being my subordinate, so he has to go back to be his black sailor." ”
Suddenly, he pointed out with a horsewhip in the crowd and said, "You, you, and you, you three come out." ”
Three people came out in response, but their faces were full of confusion.
Yun Chongbo saw that the three of them were very strong: the first one had all four limbs, only one shoulder was scratched, the second was covered in blood, there were always more than a dozen wounds on Zhou's body, but it didn't matter, the third was the tallest, with a rough face, his right arm was cut off at elbow, and he was wrapped in half of the robe, which was already soaked with blood, and among the three, he was the most pale and stood the most straight.
The man flicked his whip and said to the third man: "From now on, you people have formed an army, with you as the leader, and you have given me a good life to practice, and there is no mistake." ”
He also said to the first and second people: "You two are his deputies, and there are more counselors, and there must be no mistakes." ”
Fu said to the third person: "Let's rest for half an hour and leave, stay in the camp at night, you come to find me, and I will pass you the one-armed knife technique all the way." ”
Xiang Zhujun said lightly: "Do you obey?" ”
His eyes swept over, and those men who had always been fierce and licked blood with their knives were all frightened, and they all bowed their heads and said, "Listen to the general." ”
The man laughed and said, "Lie down and sleep, and get up in half an hour and hurry!" As soon as he spoke, he was like Shenglun, and those black sailors were really lying down obediently in the blood, and in the blink of an eye, they were already snoring.
But the first three did not lie down.
The man with the broken arm looked at the man for a while, then suddenly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The general is above, in the lower Helihu, as long as the general has an order, he will die in the water and fire!" ”
The man flicked his horsewhip, wrapped it around his left arm, pulled him up, and said lightly: "Don't worry, I won't want you to die, the dead are useless, only the living can be obedient to fight, and only then can there be money and women." ”
He also said: "My surname is Zhao, just call me General Zhao." ”
Fang Dao: "You guys also go to sleep." ”
When the three of them lay down according to their words, he smiled at Yun Chongbo and said: "My name is Fei Ya, Zhao Fei Ya, very non, Tian Ya, what is your name?" ”
Xiao Wenshuang secretly screamed that it was not good, and when he wanted to stop it, Yun Chongbo had already said generally: "My name is Yun Chongbo, the cloud of clouds, the rushing of the charge, and the wave of the waves." ”
The man didn't seem to have heard of this name, so he didn't react at all, and only smiled: "Good name, it's a good man's name." ”
And he said, "Keken will come with me." ”
Xiao Wenshuang had already beaten his horse at this time, and said, "What do you want to do?" ”
Zhao Feiya glanced at her and said with a smile: "May I ask what is the name of this friend?" ”
Xiao Wenshuang didn't care. The name is clear, you must know that she has always shown people in the name of a greedy wolf, and there are few Liao Liao who know the words "Xiao Wenshuang", and even the giant gate does not know, but there is nothing to care about, not to mention that since this man is ambushed here, when Shicaiyun Chongbo shouted his name, he probably heard it, and if he wants to hide his head and show his tail, it is likely that he is just a villain.
Zhao Feiya heard his name, only smiled faintly, and said, "I want to save people, how about Your Excellency?" ”
Xiao Wenshuang frowned and said, "Save people? ”
The man laughed, "Yes." ”
Yun Chongbo couldn't help but say, "Who to save?" ”
The man said lightly: "Save the residents of a city, save 100,000 people." ”
As soon as the words came out, Yun Xiao and the others were moved together, and Yun Chongbo said, "What the hell is going on?!" ”
In the faint sunlight, the cold wasteland shone out: large and small pieces of gravel were scattered, and below was a dark, hard-looking earth, where the so-called plants were just gray vines, lying listlessly on the ground, and occasionally in the shade, only a few shrubs that could not be taller than the calves no matter how hard they tried.
The wind blew, whirling the smaller pieces of sand and gravel, and hissing at the edges of the blades of grass, like the screeching of some snake and insect, the only sound in the moor that could make people think of life at will, and there was no other movement here.
The chirping of birds, the gliding of snakes, the jumping of insects, the sneaking of rabbits... No sound of any kind.
In this deathly, icy wasteland, there is almost no life, and the life that can exist in such a place must be more agile than a bird, more stoic than a snake, more delicate than a worm, and faster than a rabbit...
The sound of horses' hooves shattered the dead silence of the place with madness, and the only life that could survive in such a place had galloped across the wasteland with one of his slaves.
The man on horseback was not very old, at most in his early thirties, sturdy, dressed like Zhao Feiya's group of subordinates, his face was anxious, although the horse had galloped like a strong wind, he was still insufficient, and he couldn't stop kicking the horse's belly with his foot, and the horsepower was all forced out.
On the strong face, there are several traces of abrasions and scratches, and the clothes on his body are also torn in many places, and there is blood oozing in several places.
In the distance, the sound of thunderous vibrations was faintly heard, and to those who were familiar with the north, they could immediately hear the sound of horses running.
Listening to the sound of death like dark thunder, the man's face was full of fear, and behind him, in addition to the dark red beads of blood, there were also large beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
(These guys, it's coming too fast!) )
With all his might, the man kicked the horse's belly fiercely, ruthlessly stimulating the last bit of potential of the poor horse.
The horses, running almost frantically, flew through the last twenty miles of the moor, and when some apparently artificially constructed buildings began to appear in front of him, the man's face took on a lightened look.
It is a small village composed of a very simple fence, the fence is only one person high, and there are dozens of houses scattered inside, but it is not the nomadic style that Jinzhou is accustomed to, but the common style of Xia farmers in the interior, except for some water storage facilities added in response to the geographical characteristics of Jinzhou, the rest is almost the same as the Central Plains.
(Those guys want to catch up, at most it is two moments of work, at this time, the old woman will definitely not be able to run away, but, save one is counted as one...) )
Nervously pondering his thoughts, the man began to control the horse's speed, and mentally prepared an explanation that he would need for a moment.
At that time, the morning sun had not risen for a long time, and there was still a biting chill and a yin and yin humidity in the air, and there was no one walking in front of the village.
The man looked at the horse and walked to the front of the village, but suddenly he stopped the horse!
He opened his mouth, inhaling the air that could cool his heart, but he didn't feel it at all.
His heart was first cold.
"You're so slow, it's been over for a while."
Speaking like a cold noise, the man wearing a black iron helmet, black tanned ox armor, and a black horse under his crotch slowly turned out from behind the village gate, his two eyes were like two knives, staring at the man's body.
"You, then, the sound of horses' hooves behind..."
Faced with the man's almost speechless questioning, he smiled softly, raised his right hand, and wiped a little dark red from his left shoulder.
"It's just a village of dozens of families, how can I slaughter my army? That's what drove you. ”
As the words were spat out, knights dressed similarly to the black-armored man kept appearing, about thirty people in total, most of them without helmets and with their hair draped, revealing their faces and hideous smiles that were different from those of the Xia people.
Everyone has a weapon unsheathed or wound in their hands, and everyone has a blinding red on their body.
Inadvertently, they had surrounded the man from both sides. In everyone's looks, there is also a desire to move.
Gently raising his hand to suppress the order of his subordinates, the black-armored man looked the man up and down a few times, and said with a smile: "Look at the outfit, you are also a soldier, right?" I didn't expect that there were some heroes in the tunshu stroke. ”
Suddenly, his face sank, and he shouted: "Tell your master, spare you from death!" ”
The man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stroked his chest and laughed miserably, and then froze and immediately did not move, and after a while, his body trembled, and he fell from his horse like a tree trunk that had been cut down, and fell to the ground, and a little bright red slowly oozed from his chest.
The black-armored man shook his head slightly and sighed, "It's a pity that it's not my race." ”
Fang Dao: "It's very close to the main master, tell everyone to be careful." ”
He put his hand on his eyes again, squinted at the sun, frowned, and said: "How did Tasi Buhua do it, but there are more than a thousand black sailors, and they haven't come back yet." ”
Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hooves moving in the southwest direction, galloping towards us, and everyone was happy, but the man put his hand on the side of his ear, and said in amazement: "This hoof, our people are good, but why are there less than half of them?" ”
