Chapter 427: Official? Bandits?
"Qingzhi, the situation is not good."
On the octagonal mountain, Mingxiu was the first to discover the movement under the mountain.
Previously, the bandits under the mountain had been hiding in the night, and their whereabouts had not really been revealed. But as time passed, Mingxiu found that the bandits had lit a bonfire at the bottom of the mountain, dispelling the darkness and exposing themselves completely.
There were about a few hundred people, armed with knives and guns.
The cavalry on both sides echoed, and in the middle was a formation of foot soldiers.
Just looking at these people's equipment, Mingxiu felt a chill, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Yang Shouwen hurriedly stepped forward and looked in the direction of Mingxiu's finger.
He frowned, and he also felt the abnormality of the bandits, and the heart that he had been carrying all the time suddenly reached his throat.
"What are they doing?"
Lu Chengzhi's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The thieves are about to attack." ”
"What?"
Yang Shouwen was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lu Chengzhi suspiciously.
He and Mingxiu are both smart people, but in some ways, they are indeed inferior to Lu Chengzhi.
After all, it was much older than them, and they had experience as county commanders, and they had presided over the battle of Changping against the Khitan.
Therefore, Lu Chengzhi can see the clues, but Yang Shouwen and Mingxiu's reactions are obviously slower.
Lu Chengzhi said: "Ah Lang, let's all look away."
I am afraid that these people are not bandits, but officials and soldiers pretending to be ...... Look at their equipment, how can they wait for the idle thieves to hold it? In addition, it is located at the intersection of Bianzhou and Zhengzhou, and is already close to Gyeonggi. If there is such a gang of thieves, how can the government not be aware? This is the important land of Gyeonggi, isn't the government afraid of alarming the saints of the Shendu? ”
Yang Shouwen and Mingxiu looked at each other. Zhang Jiuling's face was gloomy.
He was a hot-blooded young man with a strong heart. From Lingnan. It is the hope that he can get ahead and establish a career.
Can ...... now
Zhang Jiuling suddenly realized that he was thinking too simply!
The disputes in the court were by no means as calm as he imagined. There is an undercurrent surging in the dark, which can be described as killing people without seeing blood.
"Guanjun, will you be so bold?"
Zhang Jiuling couldn't help but ask, "Aren't they afraid of being tracked down by the imperial court?" ”
"It also depends on who is behind it...... If the other party is very big, how dare the officers and soldiers disobey?
No wonder they didn't panic at all after we lit the beacon fire, and Junyi side. Not even the slightest movement...... Now that they're going to do it, they may have seen our intentions. They also know that there is no stalemate. As soon as the day dawns, they will have nothing to hide, and even if the people behind them want to support them, they will not be able to support them. ”
Mingxiu listened to Lu Chengzhi's words and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He suddenly said to Yang Shouwen: "Qingzhi, you owe me a favor." ”
"Huh?"
"I thought it would be easier to come with you, but now it seems that ...... You guy's troubles seem to be more than I thought. ”
After speaking, he beckoned. He said sharply: "Mingli, pass on my orders." Get ready for battle. ”
Mingxiu's words are tantamount to showing his attitude.
This also made Yang Shouwen's gaze soften a lot, and a smile appeared on his face.
In later generations, there was a saying, called 'Rather learn Taoyuan three knots, not learn Wagang one incense'. When there was a Han Dynasty, people valued their promises and their lives; But in the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was already some meaning of 'the word "the word is the head" in it.
Therefore, later generations have a phased division of Chinese history.
From the royal road to the domineering, since the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, after the five chaos of China, the etiquette and music collapsed. Later, it was rebuilt, but it was different from the Han Dynasty. However, Yang Shouwen was very happy, he did not mistake Mingxiu.
"Zishou, if the situation is not good, you can act when you see the opportunity, and you can go."
As Yang Shouwen spoke, he took out the big gun from the pouch.
Zhang Jiuling was furious, "What is Yang Jun, is Zhang Jiuling the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”
As he spoke, he beckoned, and two strong men walked over behind him.
"Zhang Da, Zhang Er, from now on, you will obey Yang Jun's dispatch."
Yang Shouwen was about to persuade, when he suddenly heard the sound of a horn under the mountain.
A horse galloped over, rushed halfway up the mountain, and said sharply: "Yang Shouwen, ask you again, are you willing to surrender?" ”
Yang Shouwen sneered, picked up a bow, bent the bow and arrows, aimed at the knight on the horse, and said sharply: "There is a lot of nonsense, if you want to fight, you will fight, what kind of hero is hiding your head and shrinking your tail?" ”
Before the words fell, the sharp arrow left the string.
Yang Shouwen's archery skills were taught by Ab Sijida, and when he later met Xue Ne and Xue Chuyu, he also received guidance.
The Xue family's archery skills are unparalleled in the world.
Although Xue Rengui's three arrows set the Tianshan Mountain is a legend, it also shows to some extent how clever his archery skills are.
Yang Shouwen's arrow was as fast as lightning.
The knight could not even react before he heard a scream and was shot off his horse.
Suddenly, a series of cheers came from the mountain.
The young general's face at the foot of the mountain changed, and he secretly complained in his heart.
I thought I could surrender without a fight, but I didn't expect it...... I'm afraid this matter won't be good, even if Yang Shouwen is killed, the result will be very serious. He is starting to regret it a little now, why should he listen to the demagogy of others? This Yang Shouwen is so strong, I'm afraid that those people wanted to kill him from the beginning. You have to find a way out of this matter.
Thinking of this, he had already made up his mind.
However, on his face, he still looked angry, and said to Mr. Sun: "Mr. Sun, this Yang Shouwen is so ignorant of what to do, he deserves to die here." Please give the order to attack, and the general will supervise the battle, and see how long he can be arrogant. ”
Mr. Sun nodded, raised his hand and plucked a large knife from the saddle bridge.
"Pass the order, attack."
With Mr. Sun's order, the bandits under the mountain shouted in unison.
The infantry raised their shields and charged up the mountain, and the archers followed behind, shooting at the top of the hill from their backs, and for a time the arrows rained down......
"Mingli, raise your shield to meet the enemy."
Mingxiu shouted loudly, and saw the twenty-eight suku raise their shields. Wear it diagonally on the top of your head. Body shape half-squat.
Only a dense sound was heard. The arrow flew down, striking the shield with a loud sound.
Yang Shouwen picked up an arrow from the ground, and after glancing at it, his face became even more ugly.
This is a special carved arrow for the Zhichong Mansion, which is different from the eagle feather arrow used by the border army, and also different from the phoenix feather arrow used by the forbidden army.
The appearance of the carved arrow also means that Lu Chengzhi's guess is not wrong.
Yang Shouwen half-squatted next to the carriage and looked down the mountain. Slowly pick up an arrow.
"Qingzhi, listen to my orders, don't release arrows without permission."
Mingxiu hurriedly stopped Yang Shouwen on the side, staring at the officers and soldiers approaching the top of the mountain with burning eyes.
Almost when the army reached two-thirds of the hillside, the archers below stopped suppressing with arrows. Because of this distance, it is easy to accidentally injure your own people. And they also felt that with these 300 officers and soldiers, it was enough to solve the battle.
"Shoot the arrows!"
At the moment when the arrows of the official army stopped, Mingxiu gave a sharp order.
Twenty-eight Su, who were half-crouching behind the car, got up at the same time and shot arrows down the mountain.
Yang Shouwen even aimed at a team of officers who looked good. Only to hear the humming bowstring tremble, and the sharp arrow broke through the air and let out a sharp roar. Hit the other person in the forehead. Yang Shouwen's bow is a two-stone strong bow, and its strength is amazing. Coupled with the proximity of this distance, the other party had no time to react. After Yang Shouwen shot an arrow, he followed his long body......
I saw him bend his bow and arrows, and the arrows were like meteors.
At this distance, Yang Shouwen basically didn't have to draw a full bow, so the rate of fire was amazing.
When Mingli and the others shot three arrows, Yang Shouwen had already shot five arrows. Moreover, he has no arrows, and every sharp arrow will surely shoot a thief. Those thieves obviously didn't expect that there would be such a fierce counterattack on this mountain, and the formation suddenly became chaotic.
At the same time, Mingxiu shouted: "Yang Jasmine, take people to attack." ”
Fortunately, it was Yang Shouwen who ordered Yang Jasmine before, otherwise Mingxiu would have ordered it directly, and Yang Jasmine would not have managed her money at all.
He was already suffocated, and when he heard Mingxiu's shout, he immediately let out a loud roar and jumped over the carriage.
Yang Jasmine is now nearly 1.9 meters tall. Not only is he growing in size, but his body size is also developing horizontally. So much so that he now looks quite majestic, just like the NBA superstar O'Neal in later generations.
But he doesn't look clumsy, and although he's huge, he's incredibly fast.
Behind Yang Jasmine, eleven Jianghu people also pounced out like tigers descending from the mountain. Yang Jasmine took the lead, and the two iron mallets in her hands flew over. The hammer danced, carrying a thousand catties of great force, unstoppable. Those thieves who met Yang Jasmine were not his enemies at all. Hearing only a series of screams, Yang Jasmine had already rushed into the crowd, and behind her was corpses with broken bones and broken tendons, and cracked brains.
Yang Shouwen also jumped over the carriage after Yang Jasmine rushed out.
He stood in front of the carriage with a series of arrows.
That arrow is off the string, and the other is already on the string.
On the hillside, a miserable scream rang out continuously, and Yang Shouwen's face was expressionless, and he was engrossed in the enemy on the hillside.
Strange to say, his sight is not very good, but he can keenly grasp the movements of every thief.
It was as if the entire hillside was under his control.
"Yang Jasmine, don't chase it, come back!"
Seeing the rout of the thieves, Mingxiu hurriedly shouted to Yang Jasmine, who had already killed the red-eyed.
At the same time, Yang Shouwen had already turned over and turned back to the back of the carriage, threw the quiver on his body to the ground, and raised his hand to pick up the big gun.
It was a hulu with forty arrows, which he had shot with all his might.
At the same time, Yang Jasmine and others also returned to the car.
In a rush just now, the thieves discarded at least forty corpses on the hillside.
As for Yang Shouwen, he only paid for the lives of three Jianghu people......
Coupled with Yang Daoyi and Yang Renyi, who died before, Yang Shouwen has lost five of the thirteen Jianghu people recruited in Suzhou.
His eyes were cold and expressionless.
At this time, a drum sounded at the bottom of the mountain, followed by someone shouting loudly, and arrows flew to the top of the mountain.
"Shiro, did you find it?"
Yang Shouwen's eyes burned and looked down the mountain, and he saw that in the firelight, although the thieves had failed once, there was no chaos.
The corners of Mingxiu's mouth outlined a good-looking confusion, and he said softly: "I've found it!" (To be continued.) )
