Although it was late autumn, the temperature was still not low at noon, and hundreds of bandits hid themselves in the shade of trees on the slopes of the mountain.
The sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded softly, alarming the bandits, and when they looked up, at the end of the valley avenue down the slope, a knight was galloping slowly.
"No, no, it's another one!"
Halfway up the hill, an old thief who was nearly half a hundred years old pointed at those knights and shouted: "Look clearly, is there a Black Mountain flag?" ”
On the boulder in front of the shade of the tree, the bandit who looked at the wind had already seen it clearly, and said with a smile: "Naturally, there is, in our Taihang, who dares not to be so bold as to play the flag?" ”
The old thief snorted and said in a deep voice: "Be careful, there is no big difference! ”
Wangfeng grinned, disapproving, and asked next to him, "This is the first group of people to pass?" ”
"The seventh share, but this one is too few, less than a hundred!"
"Well, I think it's fifty or sixty rides!"
"What does this do? Zhang Ping is difficult to summon people, even this bit of people? ”
The knights who appeared cherished their horsepower, and the speed was not very fast, but the distance was getting closer and closer, and the old thief had seen it clearly, and couldn't help but gasp, and scolded: "Your mother's Luo Zhang'er, you are not mistaken? Isn't that an officer or soldier? ”
Hearing this, hundreds of thieves on the slope also looked up one after another, these cavalry armor men and horses are all wearing heavy armor, if it weren't for the fact that the first horse was indeed flying the Black Mountain flag, it was really a heavy armored cavalry of officers and soldiers.
"Hey, although there are fewer people in this team, the family background is not thin!"
While talking, the cavalry had galloped down the slope, and someone shouted softly, then they all reined in their horses, and the first man like an iron tower came out of the ranks, and he opened his throat and asked them, "Are you under the command of that commander?" What is it doing here? ”
Looking at these well-armed horses, the thieves on the hillside swallowed their saliva with difficulty, and the old thief replied: "My general is a solid one, and the day before yesterday he was invited by General Pingnan, and the leader went first, leaving me to wait for all the people from all walks of life to welcome the south and guide the way!" ”
The man of the iron tower nodded, and asked: "In this case, how to go to Zhan County, you must know?" ”
The old thief hurriedly pointed out the way, and the man of the iron tower thanked him and said goodbye, and the cavalry team left the bandits and continued to move forward.
Looking at their backs in the distance, a young man couldn't help but praise with envy: "What a majesty!" If Lao Tzu also has such a body......"
"It's more than majestic!" The old thief turned his head and taught, "When the first few centaurs saw us, were they so calm? ”
Only then did the young man remember that the previous teams that had fought under his feet were all on guard, and he didn't have the atmosphere of this cavalry, so he couldn't help laughing: "They are inevitably too delicate, if we really have different intentions, won't we be killed?" ”
The old thief scolded: "Fuck your mother's fart, don't you see people holding instruments?" ”
This old thief has a bad temper, and he is used to being scolded by him on weekdays, and the young man is not angry, but asks curiously: "So what?" ”
"Hehe, that is, people don't take our hundreds of people in their eyes, I just looked at it, those hands holding the blades are all stable and ruthless, this cavalry, not just looks majestic!"
"Really?"
"When did Lao Tzu tell a lie?"
The young man tilted his head and thought about it, and said honestly: "Not really!" ”
――
In the cavalry team that was slowly galloping forward, Deng Jizheng asked uneasily: "The car is big, are you really not going back?" ”
"Phew!" Although Deng Ji is Qu Shuai, it is a pity that he is too young, but he has always had no prestige in front of Che Huang, and he said angrily: "Lao Tzu is such a faithless person? I said I wouldn't go back if I didn't go back! ”
Most of these soldiers are from Yu Gengen's command, Zhang Yanchi summoned people from all walks of life, and gathered in Shangdang County within seven days, he must have met Yu Gengen, Deng Jike was very worried, if he was called back, his own losses could be heavy.
"How many times have you asked?" Not only was Che Huang angry, but a horse archer next to him heard Deng Ji ask again, and he interjected dissatisfiedly: "Xia Quyang Yu Gengen went away without regard for us, why do you still have to work with him?" Although we are cheap, we can't let people be so cheap! ”
Che Huang nodded: "Lazy Gu is not bad, besides, there are more strong women in Yu Gengen, and you are the opposite here, now that the brothers have found a good person, who really wants to go back?" ”
The elite under Yu Gengen's command are all those who escaped from Huangfu Song's men after Guangzong's First World War, where can there be any family members left? In the past two years, there are not many old and young women who have been coerced into thieves, it can be said that there are more monks and less porridge, how can it be compared to Deng Ji, there are many women and children here, so that everyone is like a fish in water, these few months, there is no good one among the soldiers, it is Xie Yun's mother Mao, her appearance is very good, after Fang Meng's death, there is no man to take care of her, and it is inevitable that she will have to follow people again.
Hearing Che Huang and Lazy Gu say this, the soldiers under the original command of Yi Gen also nodded, Deng Ji couldn't help but smile and said: "I have many women and children here, and it is not easy to feed them......
"What do you care?" Regarding feeding these women and children, Han Qi was more confident than Deng Ji at this time, and interjected: "We have survived all the hardships in the summer, with your father-in-law here, is it possible that we will still starve in the future?" ”
The soldiers who heard the words all laughed, for their daughter's life to be better, after the autumn harvest, Wu Gong really sent four thousand stone of grain as promised, which solved the urgent need in the valley, and it was really reassuring to have Wu in the valley.
Before Wu's grain was delivered, the last ten days, the valley was fed on frogs, rats, grass roots and bark, etc., finally not old and weak to starve to death, it was not easy to survive, as long as this year's winter ploughing is successful, next summer's harvest, self-sufficiency will no longer be a problem, no need to rely on others.
Relieved of his mind a little, Deng Jicai said to the lazy consultant: "Lazy, how lazy are you to be called by this name?" ”
This person is surnamed Gu, his figure and appearance are mediocre, only because he is really lazy on weekdays, and he is called lazy Gu if he can not move, he is called lazy Gu, I heard Deng Ji ask, he just smiled and said nothing, but Che Huang replied with a smile: "If it weren't for Xie Yun's mother a month ago, there was a woman who washed it, and this guy is still wearing the bloody clothes that smeared red in the first battle of Xiaquyang, isn't this lazy?" ”
Hearing this, there was inevitably a naughty joke: "If you are lazy to such an extent, when you are happy with Mao, if you don't move on it, she will have momentum for a while, but how can she be good?" ”
Everyone laughed, even lazy, and someone replied for him: "That must be Mao's above, he is below!" ”
The honest man Guo Shi also knew the taste of women after getting the Wu family's maidservant, and laughed for a while, grinning: "When shooting wild beasts while hunting, most archers need two or three arrows, and he only has one arrow enough, I asked him how to practice it, saying that it was just because he was too lazy to shoot!" ”
Guo Shi is not a person who can lie and exaggerate, hearing this, everyone couldn't help but cheer in unison, don't say two or three arrows for large wild animals, if it is not a vital part, more than ten arrows in the body will not be killed, and it is more difficult to control it when it comes to madness, this laziness only needs one arrow to kill, vision, strength, and archery skills are all indispensable, and the end is not bad.
"How many stone do you use? What wood? ”
His gaze swept over the wooden bow on his back, and Deng Ji was also interested.
"One stone, mulberry!"
Among all the hardwood bows, the best is Takumaki, but it is difficult to find, and after answering lazily, he said: "But I think the one-stone bow is a little light, and I am asking the valley bowmaker to make a two-stone bow for me, and see if it can be used, but I still have to wait!" ”
It takes two or three years to make a good bow, Deng Ji laughed and said: "Why don't you say it earlier, I trekked here from Nanyang with a horn bow on my back, it is exactly two stones, but it can't be used, you might as well try it when you go back, maybe it will be carried for you!" ”
One stone is one hundred and twenty catties, although the weight of this era is less than half of the later generations, that is also nearly sixty catties, a stone bow is already a strong bow, and being able to use a strong bow and the accurate head within fifty steps is the current minimum requirement for the archer.
It only takes sixty catties of strength to be able to pull a stone bow, which sounds easy, but it is useless to only open it, and it is not necessary to open the bow more than 30 times in a row to be qualified, and it is necessary to have an accurate head, which requires a lot of arm strength, one stone is so, and two stones and three stones are even more difficult.
This lazy appearance is not amazing, I didn't expect it to be a good one, Deng Ji's baby horn bow, it can't be used anyway, and it's idle when it's put away, so it's better to give him a personal favor.
Since he became the head of the tun and needed to fight, the original baby horn bow could no longer be carried with him, and he was too lazy to join the gang later, but he didn't know that he still had such a sharp weapon, and he was naturally happy to thank him.
After chatting for a while, he had bypassed many valleys, and the county town was in sight, only to see the banners displayed everywhere outside the city, looking at these many horses, Han Qi asked curiously: "General Zhang summoned all the troops to Zhan County, I don't know why?" ”
Che Huang was familiar with the Black Mountain thieves, looked at it carefully for a while, and replied loudly: "Now that the autumn harvest has just passed, it is the time to store grain, and Zhang Ping is difficult to occupy the county is not enough, so he has to make a big deal!" ”
