Looking at the rockets flying in the sky, Li Hun was about to go crazy, and he was barefoot and shirtless in the yard like thunder. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Seeing that Li Biao, the commander of the guards, was running over with a panicked face, he was even more angry, and flew up and kicked Li Biao, who was covered in armor, and kicked him out horizontally, but it also hurt so much that Li Hun jumped straight with his feet in pain.

Li Qing and Li Erhe looked at the old man who was walking on the top of the courtyard, but they couldn't laugh anyway. They never dreamed that the revenge of the Longjun Royal Mansion would come so quickly and so resolutely. No one has ever dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, even when the confrontation with the Huangfu family was the most intense, even when the battle with Emperor Zhaowu was the most intense in these years.

But there has never been a person like Qin Lei!

Li Hun's eldest grandson, Li Yanglai, who has become an orphan, hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man. Li Hun put his arms around the neck of his eldest grandson, then stopped, glared fiercely at his uncompetitive younger brother and uncompetitive son, and roared angrily: "Come here!" ”

The chief and deputy commanders of the Tiance Army obediently moved in front of Li Hun, and Li Hun raised a dustpan-like slap and scolded: "You two turtle grandsons, you know how to watch the excitement, and you don't know how to come and help you." As soon as the words fell, the big slap slapped the two of them.

Li Qing and Li Erhe were probably used to being slapped by the old man, and they didn't stretch out their hands to block or hide everywhere, so they just closed their eyes tightly, pursed their mouths, and let the old man do nothing. Although Lao Li's slap is heavy enough, the quality of the old Li family's bloodline to resist beatings is obviously higher.

Fortunately, now is not the time to beat the child, Li Hun stopped beating for a while. Only then did the two of them open their eyes that were already bubbling Venus, and looked at the raging fire that began to burn in all directions! I couldn't help but exclaim in unison: "Wow, what a big fire!" The angry Li Hun almost beat up the two bastards again.

Li Biao is a side descendant of the Li family, obviously his ability to resist attacks is not as strong as Li Qing's, and only now did he get up with his stomach covered, swayed and stood in front of Li Hun again, and coughed: "Ahem, big lord, there are thousands of heavily armed cavalry outside......

Li Hun snorted coldly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but this kid's wings are stiff." Lao Tzu is not powerful, he also said that the prince of Ma has three eyes. ”

Li Erhe covered his face and whispered: "Lord Ma originally had three eyes, right, second uncle?" Li Qing scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I don't know...... " Seeing that Li Hun was about to fight again, the two hurriedly straightened their chests and saluted: "The Tiance Army is ready to go, please give the order to Lord Taiwei!" ”

Li Hun raised half of his big hand and had to take it back, slammed it on his chest, returned a military salute, and roared: "Arrest that kid Qin Lei to see me!" ”

The two of them stood up and said, "Obey the order!" With that, he turned and walked out. When they went farther, the two muttered again, and Li Erhe asked in a low voice, "Uncle, do you think my father wants to die or live?" ”

Li Qing scratched his head again, thought about it, and whispered: "It's hard to say, why don't we go back and ask......"

"Forget it, I don't want to see his stinky face, as if I owe him three or five thousand pieces of silver." After speaking, Li Erhe looked back cautiously and saw that his Lao Tzu was talking to Li Biao, so he was relieved.

Li Qing also turned his head and said with the same feeling: "Then let's look at it, those who can be caught alive will be caught, and those who can't be caught will be killed." To be honest, I'd rather face your aunt's chrysanthemum face than look at your father's big face. ”

The carved railings and courtyards of the Taiwei Mansion are connected, and once the fire is ignited, it is easy to spread, and after a while, the surrounding flames are getting bigger and bigger, and the night is reflected red. The wailings, shouts, cries for help, and curses mingled with the crackling sound of burning made one feel as if they were in purgatory.

"Oh, uncle, my aunt's building is so thinking about the fire, or I'll go by myself, you can go back and put out the fire."

"No, burn that old pious woman to death! is old like that grandmother, and I don't let Lao Tzu take a concubine! "It seems that the Li family really has a tradition of fear of guilt.

The two uncles and nephews of the Li family were in such a ghost crying wolf, chatting while walking, and came to the school field like a leisurely stroll, where the two thousand heavenly cavalry troops were already on their horses and waiting for the arrival of the two commanders.

When they arrived in front of their subordinates, the two of them immediately returned to their former majestic appearance, holding their helmets in their right arms, and strode to the front of the team. The soldiers hurriedly led the horses over, and some people lay on the ground, letting the two commanders step on the horses.

Li Qing rode on his beloved 'Little Red Rabbit', his eyes swept over the Tiance cavalry who were ready to go, and said coldly: "Outside are Qin Lei's people, it is they who trampled on our red line, it is they who killed the unarmed brothers of the 200 Bow Battalion, or they humiliated your general in the Golden Palace and assassinated our eldest prince in the south. And now, they are setting fire to the house in a vain attempt to burn us all to death. I would like to ask you about this raging fire, how can we wash away the shame they have brought us? How can we heal the wounds they have inflicted on us? ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The guy who was shouted to kill and kill by the Tiance cavalry was sitting leisurely on the top of a house a mile away from the Taiwei Mansion, sipping the blood of the wine hero in his hand, while intoxicating to appreciate the flourishing grand occasion of the Taiwei Mansion, and from time to time he explained passionately for Shi Meng below: "The fire is raging in the sublime Taiwei Mansion, and the entire Taiwei Mansion is already boiling!" Now it has burned to the warehouse, and according to the Zhongdu Espionage Bureau, there are also some fire oil reserves in it, but it has not been confirmed. ”

Looking at Shi Meng, who was pitifully tilted up his head below, Qin Lei made a gesture of flowering, and said with a serious face: "If there will be a very loud bang on the ground, and there will be mushroom-shaped clouds rising, it means that the intelligence of the spy bureau is true, otherwise it will ......"

Before the words fell, the treasury of the Taiwei Mansion suddenly flashed, accompanied by an earth-shattering loud sound, a wave of qi gushed in all directions, and naturally Qin Lei would not let him go just because he was handsome.

Qin Lei was first dazzled by the 'very loud bang', and then he was pushed down on the eaves by the shock wave of the explosion, if it weren't for the many guards around him and someone blocking him, I am afraid that he would fall out of the room and be bedridden for the second time.

Rao was like this, he also made a gray face, coughed and came down from the house, and let the black-clothed guard pat the dust on his body. Seeing that Shi Meng looked like he couldn't hold back his laughter, Qin Lei sarcastically said: "People who are tripped by themselves and fall into a cripple are not qualified to laugh at others!" ”

Shi Meng really couldn't laugh, his originally upturned mouth also drooped, and Weng said, "Didn't you say that you won't laugh at me anymore?" When he returned to the capital yesterday, he went to Manyuan Spring to see his wife, and stayed there that night. If it weren't for the fact that he had been separated from Zhuang Die'er for several months, his energy was too vigorous, and he hadn't slept when he tossed until the fire, I'm afraid that this pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water would have turned into roasted quails.

As soon as he saw the fire, Shi Meng didn't say a word, put on a robe for his wife and ran out with it. Although Zhuang Die'er is not sinking, Shi Meng is a person who has worked hard for two or three hours after all, his feet are naturally vain, his left leg is weak, his right leg is tripping, and he fell into a dog and eats, and he actually broke the knee of his left leg, and he couldn't get up when he boarded.

At that time, the fire had spread to the courtyard where they lived, and Shi Meng anxiously asked Zhuang Die'er to go first, but Zhuang Die'er also had a tendon and wanted to drag him out. But the stone as heavy as a buffalo can be shaken by a delicate southern woman like Zhuang Die'er?

After a few pulls, he didn't move, and he flashed Zhuang Die'er on his own heels and fell on Shi Kang. At this time, there was already a fire outside, and the terrifying heat could be felt in the house, Shi Meng scolded Zhuang Die'er again, but Zhuang Die'er hugged his arm and said softly: "The prince said, you are a concubine, you are a concubine, we are a person, how can we be separated." As he spoke, he closed his eyes contentedly.

Shi Meng couldn't understand this woman's stupid thoughts, but it was undeniable that from this moment on, he was completely in love with Zhuang Die'er, and he was no longer the simple infatuation and dependence he had been. This sudden outbreak of emotion made him regain his strength, and finally with the assistance of Zhuang Die'er, he crawled out of the fire with his hands staggered......

Everyone was envious of this boy for marrying a good wife, so they laughed even harder at the glorious deeds of his left leg tripping over his right leg - although he saved his life, the knee of his left leg was seriously injured, and I am afraid that he will have to rely on crutches for two or three months. Therefore, he neither participated in Xu Tian's preparations, nor did he participate in Shi Dang Shi Yong's attack, so he could only stay by Qin Lei's side honestly. Fortunately, he is the best companion of Qin Lei's palace, and it is a good hand to relieve the boredom of the prince, and it is not completely useless.

The two farted a few words, and Shi Yong ran in outside, reporting in a deep voice: "The Tiance cavalry has come out." ”

Qin Lei bowed his head and said, "Give the order to retreat." He didn't expect the Tiance Army to react so quickly, and this time the effort actually completed the assembly and rushed out.

Looking at Shi Yong's back in a hurry, Qin Lei's face gradually became grim, and he said to himself: "It seems that a head-to-head confrontation is inevitable. According to his original intention, he didn't want to fight with the Tiance Army this time. It's not that he's afraid, but he adopted Guantao's suggestion, this revenge only focuses on the deterrent effect, and does not seek to really eliminate the living forces of the Taiwei Mansion, so as not to escalate the conflict and the situation is uncontrollable.

A green flare burst in the air, and the black-clothed guards who shot with the 'slingshot car' specially developed by the palace immediately stopped the design, carefully unloaded the spring shrapnel and other parts on the slingshot car, and loaded them into the box on the carriage. Then he pushed together a 'slingshot cart' with only a wooden shelf, poured two large jars of kerosene oil, and finally threw a stick of incense into it, and the fire ignited violently, devouring these slingshot carts in the blink of an eye.

This process is not slow, but it also takes at least a quarter of an hour, so the black-armored cavalry must hold the enemy for a quarter of an hour, and a head-to-head confrontation is inevitable. No one was afraid, but they were all slightly excited, the black-armored cavalry had not fought any hard battles since they formed the army. The last time they fought the bloody battle, they only caught up with the final encirclement and annihilation, the most exciting and enjoyable bone-gnawing stage, but they missed it. From officers to soldiers, they are all eager to fight against strong opponents and measure how many of their strength can rank in Great Qin.

Today, according to the plan, they will escort the slingshot convoy. Originally, in terms of time, it was impossible to meet any powerful team, but I didn't expect the Tiance cavalry to be faster than everyone expected, and it appeared on the street in more than a quarter of an hour.

The black-armored cavalry was overjoyed, and under the command of the leading officer, they had already rushed through the scattered front and withdrew from the battlefield from both flanks, giving way to the rear team that had always been heavily guarded. The five hundred horsemen of the rear team accelerated without hesitation, and in the blink of an eye, they overtook their comrades who swept backwards, and rushed towards the heavenly cavalry.

The Tiance Army, which sits firmly on the throne of the strongest army in Great Qin, has a total of more than 40,000 people, all of whom are cavalry, half of which are light and half heavy. There are about 2,000 people stationed in the Taiwei Mansion every day, and the first to come out at this time is 1,000 light horsemen. Although it is a light ride, it is also an important part of the armor, and - they are all string controllers!

And all of them are used in a serious combination of bows, unlike the black-armored cavalry, who rely on crossbows to make up for the lack of archery. When they saw that the first wave of arrows was raining arrows by the enemy, the five hundred black-armored cavalry, who were already accustomed to ravaging others with bows and crossbows, were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly took off the small round shield on their backs and barely protected their upper bodies.

The rain of arrows came in an instant, and thanks to the armor on his body and the round shield in his hand, most of the bows and arrows were shot at the black-armored cavalry, and they only made a clanging sound and bounced to the ground. Although people are fine, but the war horses can suffer, although these war horses have armor protection on their chests and necks, but after all, they can't be wrapped like people and airtight. And the Tiance army used projectiles, and many sharp arrows pierced the unprotected horse's back and hips, severely damaging the horse.

More than a dozen horses fell, but many more were still fearlessly sprinting, and in the blink of an eye, they advanced a few feet away. At the same time, he was again subjected to a rain of arrows, and more than 20 war horses were planted. The black-armored cavalry felt extremely aggrieved, they realized that they had made a mistake, and when the first wave of arrows came from the opponent, they should not take a shield, but should shoot with a crossbow. Although their archery skills are not as good as their opponents, they are better than they can shoot in bursts, and they will definitely be able to suppress their opponents after surviving a wave of arrows, instead of being beaten passively like a turtle with a shrunken head like now.

Although the mistake was realized, there was no need to correct it, the two sides were less than twenty paces apart, and for the cavalry in the sprint, it was instantaneous. This means that the white-knuckle battle is about to begin.

The Tiance Qi army on the opposite side obviously had no objections, only to see them put away their bows and arrows one after another, take off their halberds from their saddles, and rush up without fear.

When the distance between the two sides was less than ten steps, the black-armored cavalry threw out the round shield in their hands in unison, the hovering round shield had a sharp edge, and it was such a close distance, under the vigorous throwing, there would still be a certain threat to the light armored cavalry.

No one dared to try whether they could carry the big iron plate that flew over, and those who were quick and quick shot like lightning, and slapped the round shield off with a halberd. But after all, there are only a few people with such eyesight and skill, and more Tiance cavalry can only obediently bow their heads to dodge, letting those round shields whizz over their heads.

This sudden move obviously made the formation of the Tiance Cavalry chaotic, although it was only a short moment before it returned to normal. But this fatal moment was enough for the black-armored cavalry to stab the first blow first.

Seeing that a hundred and ten people were about to be picked off their horses, the black-armored cavalry couldn't help but clench the iron lance in his hand vigorously, and shouted and delivered a fatal blow.

The two teams intersected in an instant, and at this moment, the black-armored cavalry was shocked to find that the opponent disappeared from the horse out of thin air, and the hit that was nine out of ten actually missed.

The Tiance army is worthy of being battle-hardened for a long time, and at the critical moment, they subconsciously used a half-hidden kick, shrunk and hid under the saddle, and dodged the fatal blow. Only a dozen or so of them were slower, either stabbed through or knocked off their horses and trampled into mud.

The two sides did not stop, and each ran for more than a dozen zhang, only then did they turn their horses' heads and face each other again, ready for the next charge.

In the first round, the black-armored cavalry suffered a big loss in the bow and arrow, if it were not for the complete armor and the fear of arrows and stones, I am afraid that they would not be able to rush in front of the enemy. Fortunately, they unexpectedly threw a round shield and reversed the unfavorable situation, although in the end they did not have the battle-hardened Tiance cavalry, but they also recovered some losses, and it was a draw.

After a trial, both sides got to know each other's strength. The Tiance army is strong in the bow and horse, skillful in battle, and experienced. The black-armored cavalry is better equipped and first-class in protection, and is invincible before fighting.

Both sides think that they have found each other's weaknesses and will be able to distinguish the winner next time, and they are about to urge their horses to attack with all their might.

But a cannon shot was heard, and two teams of heavy cavalry wearing bright yellow armor surrounded Dajiang Street from both sides......
