Chapter 10: Bandits (Part II)
"Bang bang bang!"
A few shrill sounds were heard, accompanied by the rapid sound of horses' hooves.
"Okay, big brother, let's come again!"
Before the words fell, another series of collisions came, and I saw four snow-white horses galloping forward around each other, and several of the horses were actually waving spears in their hands and fighting fiercely with each other.
The white spear moved up and down like a dragon, and every time the Jiao head intersected, it would bring a series of piercing sounds. The red spear cherry blossoms swirl up and down in the white dragon.
The knight in the middle swung his spear and stabbed it to the right like lightning, swinging his spear diagonally as the opponent raised his spear to attack.
"Bump!" The spear in the hand of the knight on the right was bounced violently, and then the knight in the middle lightly touched his back, and then leaned over to stagger the spear from the back and the knight on the left.
The knight on the right slowly put his steps down, looked at the spear in his hand, and sighed: "Big brother is simply a beast, his strength is so great, his hands are numb, he has fought twice in a row of six people, and there is still such a big amount of spare strength, we all practice together, why is he so powerful?" ”
"Ninth brother, how is it? No, I'll just say that the eldest brother is a tireless tiger, you know it! "Behind him were six knights on white horses and white clothes, with spears in their hands, and long swords and longbows on their backs.
"Yes, if you don't accept it, you brothers have all failed, and I have nothing to say if I fail. Alas! Really, how can there be such a big difference between people? ”
"Okay, let's go, the seventh brother and the eighth brother also lost, let's go over quickly." One said, looking ahead.
A group of angry people hurried forward.
This group of people is here to practice hard for four years Zhao Xi and others, in the past four years, Zhao Xi and others while practicing spearmanship, swordsmanship, while gradually understanding the state of the world.
I don't know if it's because he was struck by lightning, Zhao Yi found that his strength was getting bigger and bigger, especially the staying power was getting stronger and stronger, eight brothers plus Xu He, a total of nine people, divided into three groups, took turns to compete with him, and he was able to defeat the other party three rounds in a row.
Four years later, thanks to a few people who have laid a solid foundation, the age of sixteen or seventeen now looks the same as that of a young man of twenty. Several of them are two-meter-five fine iron spears, thirty pounds, and it takes no effort to hold them in their hands, and they pick them up like dragons soaring into the air. As for Zhao Xi, he got a fifty-pound iron spear, and he swung it with great strength, and the stirring air whined, but he didn't feel heavy. This made Zhao Xi very happy, not to mention dancing a spear with a length of fifty catties and two meters and five meters in his previous life, even thirty catties. The dancing thirty-pound spear is different from the dancing thirty-pound stone lock, what is needed to hold the tail end when stabbing is to hold the tail end, and the two-meter-five spear is not easy, especially the spear often needs to attack with one hand, just like a long stick of tens of meters, even if it is a few catties, it is difficult to hold one end and hold it.
Four years have passed, and the original boy has also become a handsome young man, but each of them is slightly dark, showing a healthy, wild, and masculine beauty.
Zhao Xi also gradually understood this Great Yan Dynasty. Dayan is in the middle or late Tang Dynasty era in the memory of his previous life, due to historical changes, some ethnic groups in the north disappeared, while others appeared early. Chu brings Jin, Yan Dai Chu!
Dayan replaced the Great Chu Dynasty, the geographical division is divided into three levels: state, government and county, Dazhou is still taken from the Han system, thirteen states, cancel the state pastor, set up a Xuanfu envoy, only responsible for supervising the performance of all officials in the state, directly responsible for the emperor, cancel the state and county, refine into the prefecture and county, the government is the history of the assassin, and the county is the county order. According to the system of the Great Chu Dynasty, the military and the government were separated, and the governors and county lieutenants of the prefectures and counties were listed separately, not under the jurisdiction of the county magistrates, but under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and according to the size of the state capital, hundreds to thousands of government soldiers were stationed respectively. In addition to the government soldiers in various places, Dayan also has 16 troops stationed in the frontier and the imperial capital, and every year there are more elite government soldiers in the prefecture and county to replace the dead, upper and retired soldiers in the 16th army.
In the early days of the founding of the dynasty, the treatment of soldiers and soldiers was better, and ordinary people enthusiastically joined the army, but now, the corruption of military officials is in demand, so that except for the homeless and lunch victims, no one is willing to join the army on their own. Lieutenants everywhere are arresting people to join the army like strong men.
In addition, due to the improvement of papermaking and printing technology by the former Chu Gaozu, books are no longer exclusive to the children of the family, which greatly reduces the influence of the family on the country, so that the current family is not as difficult to shake as the Tang Dynasty, although the family is still there, but the influence has declined. The rest of the system is similar to the Tang and Song dynasties in history.
However, time passed, and even the greatest dynasty eventually declined, and after twelve emperors, Dayan once again fell into the inevitable situation of the feudal dynasty - land annexation. Because the Yan State is not the same as the previous dynasty, the merchants have a relatively free low position, the Yan State implements the Shinong industry and commerce, the common people have no land, and the merchants have no low position, no land, and no money to do business, these people naturally do not do it, in the past ten years, there are righteous armies everywhere, although they have not succeeded, but it has caused a situation of bandits everywhere.
The Central Plains is weak, the steppes are naturally strong, and the eastern part of the north, the Turks, and the western Uighurs enter the country from time to time to harass the people at the border gates.
"No, big brother, you're getting more and more powerful, it's just a matter of strength, but you're still very durable! This makes it impossible for the brothers to fight you. Zhao Jie shook his hand and said, when he was fighting with Zhao Yi just now, his hands were numb.
"Big brother naturally has to have the demeanor of big brother, otherwise how can you fight big brother. Okay, brothers, let's hurry to the back mountain, Uncle Li, Li'er and Xin'er are all there, let's go roast the hare. After Zhao Yi saw the brothers coming, he shouted loudly.
"Okay, let's go, drive!"
On the back mountain, the old Li who still looked the same as four years ago stood there quietly, not knowing what he was thinking, not far from him, there were two young girls, one sixteen or seventeen years old, one twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a pink dress, on this green hillside, it showed a kind of elegant beauty. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl has a straight nose and a delicate cherry mouth. White as jade but with a touch of pink skin, slender and straight legs, a willow waist that can be grasped, full breasts, and pure eyes, all reveal a charming temptation, at this moment her big eyes look at the road up the mountain from afar.
"Sister Pity, are you looking at your cousin, they haven't come up yet, don't look at it anymore." A slightly delicate voice came from the girl's ears.
The girl's face turned red, "Who looks at them, I'm just looking at the village in the distance." ”
"Really?" The little girl's face was in disbelief, and the young little face had this expression, which made the girl pinch it.
"Sister pity, I'm an adult, don't pinch my face anymore." The little girl said seriously.
"Okay, okay, I won't pinch it, our little Xin'er has grown up now." The girl bent over and said with a smile.
"Knock knock!" There was the sound of horses' hooves.
"They're coming up, and today I'm going to eat my big cousin's roast." The little girl said, pointing into the distance.
"Uncle Li, we're here." After saying that, a group of people rushed straight from the side of the hillside and stopped not far away.
"Xin'er, my brothers made several big rabbits just now, I must let you eat a good meal today, so that you don't worry about it all the time." Zhao Yi walked to the little girl's side with a smile, pinched her face and said.
"Humph! You pinch my face, I'm! The little girl Xin'er twisted her face and said softly.
"Haha!" Xin'er's words ushered in a burst of laughter from Zhao Xi, and even the other people couldn't stop laughing.
Seeing Xin'er's little face bulging, Zhao Yi hurriedly said: "Okay, our Xin'er has grown up, in the future, I won't pinch your face." ”
"Pity! You bring Xin'er here, I'll get you a barbecue, don't stand here anymore, it's too windy, although it's April, but the weather is still cold, don't get sick. Zhao Yi looked at the beautiful and charming girl in front of him, and said indifferently.
"Well, I listened to my cousin, I made a cloak for my cousin these days, cousin try it." After the girl finished speaking, she took out a package from the grass hut next to her, and when she opened it, she was wearing a white cloak.
Zhao Yi opened the cloak and draped it on his body, tied the collar, and Li'er stretched out her hands to help Zhao Yi fix her neck and shoulders. Smelling the faint aroma and the upright in front of him, Zhao Di's face couldn't help but turn red.
"Wow! Sister Li'er, you are so partial, why is there no ours, only the eldest brother's. Hey, what's behind this cloak? ”
"It's Kirin! Fire Kirin! ”
"It's so beautiful!" Xin'er also said involuntarily.
Several teenagers saw Zhao Yi wearing a white samurai suit, a purple belt, and a white cape with a red unicorn, and they immediately made a fuss.
"Big brother, you are really powerful now."
In the end, Li'er promised to make one piece for each person, which made everyone stop pestering.
"Look! What's going on here? Zhao Jie, who had the sharpest eyes, pointed to the village below the mountain and said.
Everyone who was messing around looked down into the distance, only to see a group of knights outside the town rushing into Xinyan Town, as if they were still killing.
"It's not good, it's a mountain bandit, they entered the village*, although there are nearly 200 people in the village who organized themselves to fight against these mountain bandits." Lao Li said hurriedly.
There are more than 500 households in Xinyan Town, it is not a small town, the original town is not so big, but the mountain bandits everywhere are in turmoil, causing the people of various villages to flee one after another, and there are many people from other villages who have fled here, so that the town has gathered nearly 3,000 people, and the town robbers who thought that there were more than 1,500 young and strong did not dare to come, who knows......
"Get on the horse, let's kill it, there are only more than 300 people below, we rush in from behind, and fight them with the village warriors. Brothers, killing people is not the same as training, now I remember that these mountain bandits are no longer human, you should treat them as pigs, the wild deer and wild wolves that you usually train to kill, and put them all down for me. Remember, I don't want anyone to be knocked down by these bandits, think about the folks in the town, only by solving these bandits, can the folks be safe, you only need to remember one thing, that is, kill! Zhao Xi shouted fiercely.
"Yes, big brother!" The nine teenagers replied loudly in unison. Lao Li next to him also nodded secretly.
"Li'er, you and Xin'er are hiding here, and when we finish solving the following things, we will come to the barbecue again!"
"You...... Watch out! Li'er said worriedly.
"Don't worry, you can solve them! Rush down! ”
A squad of eleven knights galloped down the slope.
