Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Winter snow is covered, and the weather has turned colder.

The ragged people were shivering in the face of the wind and snow. Li Chongjiu's 'Cangtou Army' braved the wind and snow to trek on the official road.

When passing through a village, the sound of chickens and dogs was not heard, the silence was abnormal, and people were sent in to search, but they found that they had already been ten rooms and nine empty, all of them were abandoned, and the houses collapsed, revealing the traces of being burned, and all the sight was a ruined wall. Although I had expected it, I didn't expect that the territory of this Jiang County was a more barren scene than Hedong County.

Wang Mazi in Hedong was only coerced by 10,000 people, and Chai Baochang heard the news for more than ten days, and he had already gathered 100,000 people to attack Zhengping County, Jiangjun County.

Until now, the news is still interrupted, and I don't know if Zhengping County has been captured.

Li Chongjiu rode his horse on the road and wanted to find out the current movement of Chai Baochang's army in the village, but except for finding a few old people who couldn't speak, he found nothing, and even the person sent to deliver the letter to Chai Baochang had no news for the time being.

Seeing this situation, after Li Chongjiu, Sun Erniang, Lin Dangfeng and several caravan stewards discussed, they all felt that Chai Baochang was busy besieging the county seat, so he was unable to take care of them, so he took this opportunity to speed up the march. Otherwise, once Chai Baochang captures the county seat, it will not be easy for them to get out.

So everyone reached an agreement to speed up the advance, but as soon as this speed was accelerated, the old and weak women and children at the end of the line were already overwhelmed. Everyone couldn't help but slow down.

On the second day, conflicts broke out in the caravan, and several stewards jointly put pressure on Li Chongjiu, demanding that the displaced people be abandoned and the young man should go first.

This was vetoed by Li Chongjiu and Sun Erniang, the reason is very simple, if you don't carry the displaced people, Li Chongjiu's team will first be divided, and the young and strong among those displaced people will definitely return to take care of their families.

By the third day, the situation had changed. On the official road, there were many rangers of unknown origin who suddenly appeared. These rangers, wearing red scarves, kept rushing forward to inquire near the caravan, and some of the brave even forced themselves to be closer to a hundred paces to inquire carefully.

It must be the outpost of the thief, who came to find out the truth, and the people of the caravan were all panicked and asked Li Chongjiu again to see if there was any other plan.

Li Chongjiu thought for a while, and immediately took the ten dart masters of the dart bureau to the north to investigate.

There was a lot of snow, Li Chongjiu rode his horse in the snow, and there were still few people in Jiangjun. On their side, the red-scarf rangers who had been keeping an eye on the caravan all followed from a distance after seeing Li Chongjiu and them riding away from the caravan.

At first, the red scarf ranger was only five or six people, and then he followed more and more, and he reached the appearance of fifteen or sixteen horses.

Li Chongjiu knew in his heart, regardless of these rangers, he continued to go north, about five or six miles, and suddenly found that green smoke rose in the distance.

Immediately, Li Chongjiu led the people towards the place where the green smoke was lit, and passed through a dense forest, only to see that on the edge of a big river, there was a group of men and horses who were burying a pot and making rice.

Seeing that there were a lot of people on the other side, the dart masters were secretly frightened.

Li Chongjiu immediately ordered the dart master to walk along the river to find out the details of the other party, and after a cursory investigation, there were at least 1,000 people on the other side.

Many of them are old and weak, and the weapons are not complete, and many of them still use wooden sticks, hoes, etc., but there is no doubt that the other party is a 'regular army' among the thieves, at least they do not travel with women and children like Li Chongjiu.

Not long after, the thieves on the riverbank also found that Li Chongjiu's side was watching their movements, and at that moment, hundreds of thieves abandoned the cauldron, armed with knives, guns and sticks, and shouted at Li Chongjiu across the riverbank, intimidating them.

These men also wore red scarves on their heads, apparently in league with the rangers.

The big river is blocked, if they wade through the water and are not swept away by the turbulence, they will also freeze to death in the river, Li Chongjiu did not care at all, and continued to watch and check the reality of the other party.

The dart masters on the side were all greatly admired when they saw that the young dart head was so calm and looked at the opponent's army of thousands of people as nothing. When these red-scarf thieves saw that Li Chongjiu and they were not leaving, they were immediately furious, and they took arrows and shot them by the river. However, the thieves can have any good bows, not to mention the three-stone bow, even the standard bow in the army is not available, most of them are bamboo and wooden bows used in hunting, and the arrows are weak, and they have fallen into the river before they have crossed the river. At this time, Li Chongjiu saw that the red scarf rangers on the side had approached his side less than 500 paces, and the number of the other party had also increased to more than 20 horsemen, obviously meeting up with his companions, preparing to clean up Li Chongjiu and his eleven people on the riverside.

Li Chongjiu smiled at the moment and took out his three-stone bow, obviously deciding to fight. Seeing that there were few people on their side, the dart masters originally planned to retreat, but when they saw that Li Chongjiu decided to make a move, they had to support on the side, and they all took out their riding bows.

After some hesitation, these red scarf rangers seemed to feel that there were many people on their side, and decided to do it together. At that moment, the war horse snorted, and the red scarf rangers began to drive the horses together, holding bows and arrows and running towards Li Chongjiu and them.

The red turban thieves on the other side of the river, when they saw their cavalry attack, were all shocked by their confidence and began to shout loudly. After all, those who can serve as cavalry are the elite of the thieves, so they are very confident in the thieves on their riverbank.

Li Chongjiu calmly stretched out his bow and arrows, and the red scarf rangers rushed together, and suddenly they were as fast as thunder, and in the blink of an eye, they had reached less than three hundred steps.

When all the dart masters saw Li Chongjiu's disapproving look, they all beat the drum in their hearts, and many of them took arrows to aim.

Two hundred steps!

Everyone's hearts were beating very fast, and the horses seemed to sense their master's uneasiness, and they began to throw them to the ground.

One hundred steps!

The rangers also began to take arrows, preparing to get close to fifty paces, and then cover them with arrows, and in the fight with their swords, they definitely have an advantage in numbers.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air, and the war horse let out a long neigh.

I saw Li Chongjiu hanging his arm with a bow, and one person and one bow could shoot a rain of arrows!

The bowstring crackled, and the arrows burst through the air.

Li Chongjiu's first arrow pierced the game's neck, causing a burst of blood, the second arrow went straight through the eye socket of a thief, the third arrow, the fourth arrow thief fell down, and the fifth and sixth arrows went straight through the throat.

I saw Li Chongjiu's fingers plucked, as if playing music, playing a song of death on the bowstring.

In the blink of an eye, a series of arrows came out in one hand, and the Red Turban Ranger was actually shot by him in one go.

Seeing this terrifying archery skill, all the red scarf rangers were frightened. "This thief is good at archery!"

"They deliberately lured us in!"

"Hit the mark!"

The red scarf rangers were all shocked, Li Chongjiu was so under the magic arrow, everyone was reining in at the moment, turning around and leaving.

Seeing this, Li Chongjiu said: "If it is a strong attack, there is still a glimmer of life, turn around and leave, there is only a dead end." ”

While Li Chongjiu was talking, his hands were non-stop, and three arrows passed by, passing through the back of the three rangers.

"Kill them all, don't let them go!" Li Chongjiu shouted, and immediately chased after the horse, and the dart masters all suddenly realized at this moment, they were all shocked by Li Chongjiu's amazing archery skills, and they had not yet released an arrow. "Less darthead, this archery ......"

"What are you doing in a daze, didn't you listen to what the young dart head said? Don't let one go! ”

"Yes, yes."

As he spoke, all the dart masters drove their horses to follow.

The thousands of thieves on the side of the river were dumbfounded, and no one said anything for a while.

There was silence on the surface of the river, except for the murmuring of the river.
