Huang Daozhou's hands trembled, and he looked at Xu Liang in surprise: "My lord, what...... What do you mean? ”

"It's simple." Xu Liang's eyes flashed with a dangerous cold light, and his tone was calm, "Aren't there several Houjin cavalry outside, let's go out and slaughter it!" ”

Huang Daozhou's eyes widened, and he looked at the direction where Hong Chengchou was going, and his heart was moved, just thinking about Hong Chengchou's resolute attitude, he couldn't help but say worriedly: "However, Lord Hong strictly ordered us not to act rashly, let's do this, let Lord Hong know, it's not easy to explain." ”

Cut! Xu Liang sneered and said, "Lord Hong means that you can't send troops, so as not to anger the Houjin soldiers. Lord Huang, don't forget, this is the territory of my Ming Dynasty, my Ming people have never lacked patriotic warriors, a cavalry team of more than a dozen people, deep into the hinterland of my Ming Dynasty, even if it is gone, who dares to say that it must be the hands of the court officials and soldiers? ”

Xu Liang approached Huang Daozhou and said mysteriously: "Let's make a move quietly, even if Lord Hong knows, let's just admit it!" ”

It's dark.

A cyan carriage slowly drove to the gate of Yutian City, and the man driving the carriage on the carriage wore a straw hat, the brim of which was so low that it almost covered his entire face.

The Ming soldiers on duty at the city gate stepped forward suspiciously, and just about to interrogate, the man who was driving the car slipped out of his hand and raised it towards the soldiers.

When the soldier saw the token, his expression suddenly became respectful, and he arched his hand and asked, "My lord, is this going out of the city?" ”

The man who drove the car lowered his hands and said in a deep voice: "Open the city gate." We must not leak our business out of the city. ”

The soldier was obviously extremely respectful to the man, and nodded busily when he heard the words. Turn and trot to the city gate and turn the mechanism of the city gate. All I could hear was the creaking of the gates opening.

When the gate was open enough for the carriage to pass, the man who drove the carriage drove it. And he went out of the city quietly.

In the carriage, Huang Daozhou and Xu Liang both changed into ordinary clothes, and the two sat opposite each other. Huang Daozhou saw the carriage out of the city, and when he left the city, the carriage turned to a remote road and drove on, Huang Daozhou finally couldn't help but sigh: "In the end, it is the soldiers of the Liang army, and they are in awe of the Liang army commander shown by the adults." ”

Xu Liang said complacently: "The people on duty at the city gate tonight happen to be all soldiers of our Liang army, so we can get out of the city smoothly with the order of the commander of the Liang army." If the soldiers waved by He Huchen to guard the city gate are replaced, we are afraid that it will take a lot of effort. ”

Zodiac Zhou nodded. He asked, "My lord, where are we going now?" ”

Xu Liang said: "Tietou has gathered two hundred Tsing Yi guards and are waiting in the valley fifty miles away. Tonight we will go and meet the iron head, and when it is daybreak, we will move. ”

Huang Daozhou couldn't help but sigh again: "Your Excellency's Tsing Yi Guard's tracking ability far exceeds that of the scouts in the army, General He Huchen is still vigorously tracking down the whereabouts of the Houjin Cavalry, and Your Excellency has already mastered the enemy's traces." ”

Xu Liang was silent. This time to move to Yutian, Xu Liang has ordered the capital Tsing Yi Wei to belong, all of them to accompany him, and hundreds of secret agents from the detective department. Long before the army moved to Yutian City, it had been quietly scattered around Yutian City. Therefore, any movement within a hundred miles around Yutian City, as long as Xu Liang wants to know. It can't escape the eyes and ears of the detective department.

The carriage drove in a valley fifty miles north of Yutian City, and Tietou and two hundred Tsing Yi guards were already waiting there, a corner of the valley. Tsing Yi Wei temporarily built a grass hut as a temporary camp.

Tietou got out of the carriage with Xu Liang and Huang Daozhou. The three of them entered the grass shed, and the Tsing Yi guards brought steaming bone broth.

Xu Liang and Huang Daozhou drank hot soup. After a while, my body warmed up.

Tietou reported to Xu Liangyu: "Young master, the brother of the detective department has reported that in a deserted village only seven or eight miles away from here, there is a group of Houjin cavalry of less than thirty people. ”

Xu Liang said: "Tell the brothers to keep an eye on it, don't let them run away." It's not convenient to do it at night, so we'll rest for a night tonight, and at dawn tomorrow, we'll go to meet the Houjin cavalry. ”

So, 200 Tsing Yi guards stayed in the valley that night to rest, and the next day before dawn quietly set off to the deserted village.

Outside Yutian City, the people are deeply suffering from the war, ten rooms and nine empty, like such a deserted village, can be seen everywhere. When Xu Liang rode a horse and led the Tsing Yi Wei to the outskirts of the deserted village, the Tsing Yi Wei, who was in charge of keeping an eye outside the village, stepped forward to report the situation.

"My lord, the enemy is still in the village, and he has not gone far." Tsing Yi Wei secretly said, "However, they left two people at the head of the village to keep guard, and adults need to be careful when they enter." ”

Xu Liang waved his hand and said, "It's hard work." ”

After that, Xu Liang stared at the depths of the deserted village, outside the dilapidated houses of several villages, a few war horses could be vaguely seen tied to the trunks of large trees outside the door.

Xu Liang stretched out his hand and pointed at the houses, and shouted: "Tietou, you take a hundred brothers and rush in, kill people, and leave not a single one!" ”

The iron head responded in a deep voice, drew his knife in his hand, and divided a hundred Tsing Yi guards, and ran towards the village in silence. More than 100 horses ran, the sound of horses' hooves gradually became rapid, and then became heavy, Xu Liang stood behind, listening to the sound of heavy horses' hooves, and felt that the more than 100 horses of the iron head ran up, and there was the momentum of a thousand horses.

Huang Daozhou frowned and said, "My lord, the iron stall head is killed with such fanfare, it's too ostentatious, right?" ”

Xu Liang snorted lightly, looked at the deserted village with disdain, and said: "Dao Zhou is too worried, there are only thirty enemies inside, and we have dispatched more than a hundred people, to fight as many as we want, and we can fight as much as we want." ”

As he was talking, a frightened scream suddenly sounded in the village, and it was obvious that the sentries left behind by the Houjin cavalry had discovered the enemy situation and issued a warning.

However, the scream only lasted for a moment, and with a few sharp arrows fired, the warning stopped abruptly.

"Kill !!" The running Tsing Yi Guard cavalry burst out with a shout of killing and rolled towards the houses.

Screams, curses and screams sounded from afar, and the Tsing Yi Wei and the Houjin soldiers who rushed out of the house met and began to fight together.

In the face of the wolf-like Tsing Yi Guard, the Houjin soldiers who rushed to respond to the enemy could not resist the attack of the Tsing Yi Guard at all. As soon as the thirty Houjin soldiers came into contact, they suffered heavy casualties, and the leading general roared. He led several soldiers to concentrate all their strength in a delusional attempt to break out.

They were greeted by a rain of arrows from the Tsing Yi guards on their horses outside the house.

The screams faded away. Xu Liang saw from a distance that Tsing Yiwei had controlled the situation, so he and Huang Daozhou rode into the village.

Come to the house. Tsing Yi Wei had already escorted a few surviving Houjin soldiers to Xu Liang.

The iron head grinned and arched his hand at Xu Liang and said, "Young Master, twenty-six of the thirty Houjin soldiers died, and these four people hid in the house and didn't dare to show their heads!" ”

Xu Liang waved his hand and said, "Escort down and ask, see if there is any new news." ”

The Iron Head grinned and escorted the four captives aside for interrogation. The remaining Tsing Yi guards began to clean up the weapons and horses of the Houjin soldiers.

Huang Daozhou's eyes fell on the horses led by several Tsing Yi guards, and said: "Xia Guan once heard from his colleagues in the military department that the reason why the Houjin cavalry is invincible is that in addition to the Houjin soldiers themselves, their mounts also play a very key role. He said. Huang Daozhou pointed to one of the war horses and explained to Xu Liang: "Your Excellency, you see, the war horse of the Houjin Cavalry has strong limbs and strength, and its body is significantly larger than our Ming war horse. With such horses under the seat, once they charge, ordinary Ming soldiers, who can stop them. ”

Xu Liang also nodded in agreement: "These are rare good war horses, how did they cheapen us first." ”

The Tsing Yi guards searched the house inside and outside for a while. Make sure there's nothing missing. Tietou came back with a bitter face, and said to Xu Liang: "Young master, those four people are all little friends, and they can't ask anything useful." ”

Xu Liang said indifferently: "Then kill it!" Let's not be cumbersome! ”

Order. The heads of the four surviving Houjin cavalrymen fell to the ground.

Two hours later, another group of marching Houjin cavalry suddenly found the middle of the road ahead on the way to Yutian City. A cyan carriage was parked.

It was a carriage pulled by two horses, and the horses used were rare war horses. There was no driver in the carriage, and a navy blue curtain hung down. Covers the inside of the car. The wind picked up, blowing and the curtain of the car swayed slightly.

Seeing such a strange carriage parked in the middle of the road, this group of Houjin cavalry, which numbered more than fifty people, began to be vigilant, slowed down the speed of its march, and slowly approached.

When they were only fifty paces away from the carriage, the cavalry general raised his hand to stop the soldiers behind him from approaching, pointed to the two soldiers beside him, and ordered them to go forward to check the situation in the carriage.

Huang Daozhou's expression in the carriage tensed suddenly, and he nervously looked through the curtain of the carriage at the two Houjin soldiers who were slowly approaching, and the scimitars in the soldiers' hands reflected the seeping cold light.

"Your Excellency?" Zodiac Zhou whispered, "Here they are!" ”

Xu Liang sat upright, his upper body motionless, staring at the two figures outside the carriage.

"Three," Xu Liang's lips moved lightly, and he said.

"Two,"

"One!"

Just as Xu Liang counted to one, the two Houjin soldiers who were in charge of searching for the carriage had approached the carriage, and one of them carefully lifted the curtain with the tip of his knife and was about to lift it up.

Change happened in this instant.

With the sound of a sudden bowstring, two arrows suddenly shot out of the grass not far from the carriage, and in the blink of an eye, they hit the two soldiers, bringing up a bead of blood.

The two Houjin soldiers didn't even see where the arrow came from, so they clutched their necks, made a strange sound from their mouths, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Enemy attack!" The general of the Houjin cavalry, fifty paces away, shouted angrily, and ordered the cavalry behind him to form an offensive formation, and was about to swing his sword to attack, when suddenly, the general's figure trembled, and he looked at the back of the carriage in surprise.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a team of hundreds of horsemen was charging in formation, rushing towards their side, and the knights on the horses had already drawn their bows and arrows, and when the range was sufficient, they would release their arrows.

There were more people in front than there were, and the Houjin generals quickly recognized the situation, shouted, and before the cavalry released their arrows, they turned their horses' heads, turned around and left.

Of course, before leaving, the Houjin cavalry still fired a round of arrow rain. Some of them fell behind the carriage to stop the cavalry from approaching, but most of them fell on the carriage.

Duh, duh, duh!

The cyan carriage was filled with arrows in the blink of an eye.

The curtain on the carriage door, after being shot by seven or eight arrows, finally rotted and tore open.

The Houjin cavalry general beat his horse and fled, and subconsciously glanced back at the carriage, he just wanted to confirm what was in the carriage.

Then he saw a shocking scene: behind the curtain of the car fluttering in the wind and broken into strips of cloth, there were two people, one of them panicked, the other of whom was sinking like water, his right hand stretched flat under the curtain, holding an arrow in his hand!

The person in the carriage actually held the arrow that shot into the carriage with one hand!

Master, absolute master! This was the only thought that the general had when he turned back.

Then he couldn't care about thinking about the master in the carriage, and led more than forty Houjin cavalry to continue to run.

After running for nearly a mile, the Houjin cavalry squad had to stop again.

Because, in front of them, the place where they had originally passed had been intercepted by another cavalry team in a fan shape at this moment, and the number of the other party was nearly a hundred.

The Houjin cavalry general was frightened in his heart, looked at the cavalry intercepting in front of him, listened to the increasingly heavy sound of horses' hooves behind him, shouted in despair, drew the scimitar at his waist, and pointed straight ahead.

"Boys, rush out !!"

Airplanes! The bowstring trembled, and the arrows rained down! The Houjin cavalry fell to the ground screaming with arrows.

Half an hour later, the cyan carriage slowly arrived, the curtain on the carriage had been replaced, the curtain was lifted, Xu Liang looked at the situation outside, the Houjin soldiers who fell to the ground on the grass, and the Houjin soldiers who were still injured and not dead, lying in a pool of blood desperately watched the Tsing Yi guards who were cleaning the battlefield with expressionless faces!

In the distance, several Tsing Yi guards were working together to subdue a frightened warhorse.

Huang Daozhou also poked his head out of the carriage and looked at the situation outside, his face pale.

Xu Liang retracted into the carriage, and a faint voice came out of the carriage.

"Let's go, let's go to the next place."

……

Five days later, Sima Qiudao and He Huchen in Yutian City successively received reports from secret sentinels outside the city that the Houjin cavalry operating within a hundred miles around Yutian City were intercepted and killed by mysterious forces one after another, and the only two cavalry teams that were still alive fled back to the direction of Zunhua in a panic as if they were greatly frightened, and never dared to set foot within a hundred miles of Yutian City again.

It was also at this time that Hong Chengchou, who went to Tongzhou, returned to Yutian City, and with Hong Chengchou returned to the city, there was also a cavalry team of 1,000 people.

This cavalry contingent has a resounding name: Liaodong Iron Cavalry.

In the Yali of Yutian County, Hong Chengchou smiled and begged Sima, and He Huchen and the two introduced a middle-aged general beside him.

"Come, General Sima, General He, this official will introduce to you, this is Ma Shilong, General Ma of Liaodong, General Ma."

After the introduction with a smile on his face, Hong Chengchou frowned and asked, "Why didn't you look at Lord Xu and Lord Huang?" ”

When Sima Qiudao and He Huchen heard this, they said with strange expressions: "Zhongcheng, Lord Xu and Lord Huang...... They are sick. (To be continued......)
