Chapter Ninety-Five: The Avant-Garde
The sun has risen, and near the south gate of Yuanyang City, at the gate of the small inn "South Gate Laughter House", more than 100 soldiers of the city defense battalion have gathered, led by two hundred household officials.
The official of Jiabaihu said: "The people in the inn are really so powerful?"
Shi Chang said: "Yes." There was a teenager who could fly in the air, and he nodded his finger at Lao Han in my team, and Lao Han committed suicide, and his body was in this inn. Shi Chang pointed to the inn, showing a "frightened" face.
The official of the Yibai household was shocked: "There is such a thing. I'd love to see what that flying kid looks like?" said he walked past the door of the inn, and then swaggered into the courtyard. Don't be funny, what Shi Chang said is too exaggerated to be trusted.
At this time, a table and several chairs had been set up in the courtyard, and Li Xiaozheng was eating breakfast around the table with Mao and Wen.
Because Wen Daochang and Li Xiao both showed their "world-beating skills", the owner of the inn specially instructed the kitchen to prepare food for them. Li Xiao came out of the shadow of the death of black tea very easily, with a great appetite and unbearable hunger, so under the introduction of the inn guys, combined with the actual situation of the small kitchen, the order is as follows: stir-fried spicy chicken, stewed pork tendon, bacon stewed eel, fried bamboo shoots with mushrooms, and dried soup with cured ribs and bamboo shoots, corn flour soup, egg custard, corn nest nest, white flour kang cake, bacon stewed rice, etc. A table of hearty meals.
Li Xiao, Mao, and Wen lowered their heads and ate wildly, gobbling them up. Li Xiao, who hadn't eaten delicious food for a long time, sighed in his heart: Life is in the world, and eating and drinking are two words. In this world, in addition to becoming a peerless powerhouse, I also have to eat all the world's food.
Li Xiao was chewing a piece of pork tendon when he heard a greeting sentence, "How many of you are having breakfast?"
Previously, in the Shiyang Town Market, the city defense battalion was responsible for encircling the inspection department, and Yuanyangwei was responsible for attacking. But the official of Yibai household is more lively, and he has seen Li Xiao and Mao and Wen in the siege.
Li Xiao looked up and saw a man with a tall chest and a head up now at the dinner table, and saw him wearing a dark green military uniform, and his heart became extremely uneasy, after all, the body of the "second stunned" old man was still parked in the material room of the small inn.
When the innkeeper and his men saw that the official of the Yibai household had come in, their faces became extremely ugly, and the two hurriedly greeted them, and the military master flattered him shortly.
The official waved his hand and said, "You two will stay on the side first." He Li Xiao and the other three were still eating, ignoring him, so he frowned slightly, and when he saw the table full of delicacies, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he looked away, stared at Li Xiao and the three of them, and asked, "Three, are they fugitive prisoners?"
"Fart. "It's not. Wen Daochang and Mao Daochang denied it almost at the same time.
"In the Shiyang Town Market, I saw you with my own eyes......"
"Are you annoying, aren't you annoying? β
Li Xiao was drinking the dried soup of pork ribs and bamboo shoots, and after hearing Lei Ren's quotations, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, he turned sideways and squirted a mouthful of soup on the ground, and said in his heart: Wen Daochang's words are really trendy enough.
The words of the Yibai household official were blocked, and when he heard the threat of Wen Daochang, he was angry and embarrassed. He said aloud: "You killed the brothers of the 28th team of my city defense battalion, do you want to ......?"
"Plop", before the words of the Yibai household official were finished, he was thrown from the courtyard to the street by Wen Daochang, and his face hit the ground first. The soldiers on the street hurriedly helped up the official of the 100th household, and saw that the official of the 100th household fell and had a long nosebleed.
Seeing this, the officials of the first hundred households already understood that there were indeed very powerful people in this small inn. He rolled his eyes and said, "Your twenty-eighth team is watching here, and I'll go and report the situation here to the Qianhu Official." Then he took his soldiers and galloped away.
Mao Daochang took a sip of corn flour soup and said with a smile: "I said junior brother, your temper is getting bigger and bigger now?"
"What ruffian? What kind of ruffian do I have?"
β......β
Li smiled: "It's a temper, not a ruffian." β
"What is a temper? What is a riffraff? Aren't they all the same. β
Li Xiao was speechless.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the south gate.
Jiang Tao, the commander of the city defense battalion, led one or two hundred people to gallop into the south gate from outside the city, and the horses and mules they rode were almost tired. After entering the city, the officials of the thousands of households shouted loudly to the guards guarding the gate: "The enemy soldiers are coming, close the city gate quickly, close the city gate quickly, the enemy soldiers are coming." ......β
Dozens of city gate guards on duty on the day shift hurriedly closed the small gate and strengthened the gate. When the small gate was closed, all the homeless people who were blocked by the guards were let into the city. At this time, there were only twenty or thirty displaced people.
It is inhumane for the enemy to attack and lock the people outside the city gates.
Soon, five soldiers came down from the drum tower on the city gate, and the leading soldier asked loudly: "What happened?"
The Nakachito official replied loudly: "We have encountered an ambush. β
Previously, at dawn, Jiang Tao led more than 500 people, riding uneven horses and mules, out of the south gate to search for assassins, but unexpectedly encountered a large number of well-trained horse soldiers.
As soon as they finished asking about the number and movement of the opponent's horse team, before they could get a reply, they were rushed to the front by the opponent's fast horse, and most of them were killed, wounded, and captured alive. Jiang Tao escaped on a horse under the cover of the officials of the middle thousand households, avoiding the consequences of being captured.
This group of well-trained horse soldiers is actually only more than 100 people, they belong to the Jiangcheng Jianglongwei avant-garde command division, and are the vanguard pathfinder of the avant-garde, Jianglongwei avant-garde has a total of 10,000 cavalry.
This time, Jiang Longwei's whole army went out to fight, and the soldiers crossed the South Gate Pass, and the avant-garde was 150 miles away from each other, and there were 83,000 Jiang Longwei troops. The 23,000-strong combat troops were 20,000 light and heavy infantry, long and short archers, and long and short spearmen of the main force of the Jianglongwei Central Army, 1,000 heavy cavalry of the strategic force of the left guard, 2,000 broadsword soldiers of the main force of the right guard, and 60,000 heavy guard troops and minfu of the rear guard.
Jiang Tao only encountered the avant-garde vanguard pathfinder team, and he didn't know that there were 10,000 light cavalry after these 100 fierce cavalry. But he keenly sensed that a crisis was coming.
Jiang Tao was the first to dismount, and then one or two hundred people got off their mounts one after another, and lined up in a queue under the command of the officials of the middle thousand households.
The soldiers were on the street near the south gate with their mounts in one hand and weapons in the other, as if they were facing a great enemy.
On the tower of the south gate, there was a dense drum beat, or "dong", "dong", "dong", "dong", "donglong............
Soon, a hundred cavalry of Jiang Longwei's avant-garde pioneer pathfinder appeared near the South Gate Tower.
There were only a few dozen soldiers on the gate tower, beating drums to make a message, and three soldiers opened their bows and arrows and fired three arrows together, and the three arrows were plunged into the ground below the tower, marking the effective range of the bows and arrows.
A hundred cavalrymen who explored the path did not come within range of the bow and arrow. They were divided into two groups and carried out a detour survey along the periphery of Yuanyang City. This circumambulation was the same as the behavior of the previous group of 251 and 252.
It was not yet noon, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded like thunder outside the south gate of Yuanyang City. "Boom", "boom"......
Jiang Longwei's avant-garde march was extremely fast, and at noon, more than a dozen centaurs advanced under the south gate of Yuanyang City.
Li Xiao heard the sound of the galloping horses for the first time, it was deafening, and he felt both novel and apprehensive, "Daoist Mao, is this going to war?"
Wen Daochang hurriedly replied: "Obviously, it's not a relative. β
Mao Daochang smiled: "Are you scared?"
Li Xiao couldn't answer this question. In this otherworldly kingdom, if it does not endanger my life, what does it matter to me whether I fight or not?
Li Xiao selected all the eels on the plate and ate them with bacon and dried bamboo shoots soup. In the past, Li Xiao didn't like to eat "bacon", only liked to eat "fresh meat", and from today on, he can eat dishes made of bacon.
After eating and drinking, Li Xiao began to use his "super hearing", he heard hundreds of people talking, it was very noisy, the buzzing sound was simply noise, this noise made him extremely irritable. His brain was becoming more and more confused, unable to distinguish what he was hearing.
Li Xiao saw Mao Daochang talking in front of him, opened his mouth and closed his mouth, closed his mouth and opened his mouth, but he couldn't hear Mao Daochang's voice, and Li Xiao's spirit was on the verge of collapse.
Wen Daochang anxiously shook Li Xiao's shoulder with his hand, but Li Xiao showed no signs of turning around.
Mao Daochang immediately made a decision, "pop", "pop", and slapped Li Xiao twice, Li Xiao felt a hot pain on his face, and his eyes brightened suddenly. After waking up for a while, the loud buzzing sound once again made Li Xiao fall into a state of irritability, he couldn't make out any sound, only the buzzing sound in his ears. Li Xiao screamed and fainted at the dinner table.
I don't know how long it took, Li Xiao woke up and was lying on the soft bed, he saw that Mao and Wen were sitting on the wooden chairs at the head of the bed, napping quietly, and the two Taoist masters had been guarding him, and he suddenly felt very relieved.
Li Xiao thought to himself, why did I faint? Could it be that I had eaten too much? The buzzing sound in his ears still reminded him that it was the noise that made him lose control of his mind.
The buzzing is already very mild, can I still use my "super hearing"? Why not try it, it's a big deal to be the first person to die from noise.
Li Xiao began to inquire about the situation at the South Gate again.
