On the official road two hundred miles in front of Hanhai, there were ten horsemen galloping rapidly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
These ten horsemen were wearing bright red iron armor all around, and each of them hung a war knife from their waists on the left side, and the horses' hooves landed in unison, and the sound was like thunder. As he walked forward, the rouge horses breathed in unison, galloping in a neat column.
Ten rouge horses, shining like flames in the sun. When he rode first, he carried a halberd behind him, pressed the reins with his right hand, held a bright red flag with his left hand, and wrote a golden and bright big character in cursive: Lu!
This golden red flag of Lu characters, waving in the wind, reveals the rust and blood in the bones.
Although there are only ten horses, they gallop out of the momentum of thousands of horses!
The sound was like rolling thunder, and the ground trembled.
One ride is a thousand rides!
Only those who have entered the frontier and experienced real battles can see that these ten horsemen move neatly and consistently, and they have obviously received extremely strict military training.
Such an old soldier, if he does not have experience in a hundred battles, he will not be able to do it.
The horse is not in armor, the man is in light armor, galloping like thunder, this is a light horse!
Although the strong killing aura of these ten horses has been subdued a lot, they still scared away a lot of birds that stayed on the branches at a gallop all the way.
The northwest is bitter and cold and permafrosty, and the land in the south of the Yangtze River is fertile.
It is no wonder that a poet wrote after traveling to Biansai, "The south of the Yangtze River is good, and the scenery is old and familiar." Memories of Jiangnan poems.
Probably because the land in the south of the Yangtze River is fertile, or because the people on horseback weigh twenty catties of iron armor, these ten horses have left one clear iron hoof mark after another on the soft land.
The second ride distance was only five meters, perhaps because he was not used to the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and was not adapted to the green and picturesque scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.
The man cursed, and then shouted at the man in front of him: "General, it's thirty miles!
The speed of the first rider remained the same, and he didn't seem to hear it, but the hand holding the reins loosened slightly, and he half-pressed and half-stroked the horse's mane.
As if the heart was in the heart, the carmine horse snorted happily, and its speed decreased sharply.
With this sound, the nine riders behind slowed down and stopped in turn.
It's the same, the action is the same.
Thirty miles of a stop, sixty miles of a break. This is the unwritten rule in Rouge Ride.
For these veterans who live and die with horses all day long, these rouge horses are their brothers and daughters-in-law. When many old soldiers were defending the city in the Eastern Imperial City, they were seriously injured and unconscious, and they were all brought back by rouge horses under their crotches with swords, halberds, arrows and axes.
Many more cochineal horses, after the death of their owners, often do not eat or drink, and pass away with their owners.
Therefore, rouge riding loves horses more than weapons.
When the man dismounted, he affectionately touched the horse's neck, opened the skin, took a sip of the little "throat-cut" liquor left in it, then looked at the map in his hand, and said: "There is another mile, it will be a post station, and we will rest there when the time comes." Tomorrow, we'll almost be in Hanhai City. ”
Everyone agreed and prepared to get on the horse.
The post station, when the children surnamed Xiao rose, was particularly popular. At that time, the post station was a place for people to pass on official documents and military information, or to exchange horses for officials on the way.
At that time, the children surnamed Xiao vigorously promoted the post station system, one station in ten miles, and set up next to the official road. Back then, we were able to accurately grasp the movements of each army and plan the layout, and to a large extent, we relied on this post station.
However, after the unification of Xuanming, many post stations were abolished, which indirectly led to a large number of old soldiers being laid off and turning to the rivers and lakes.
So much so that Emperor Yan issued a ban on "chivalry and martial arts".
After that, Emperor Yan died, the literati played with their tongues, stirred up the Xuanming fragmentation, and alien invasion. The Liberation Gate is stubbornly guarding the frontier.
After someone vigorously rectified Xuanming, stabilized the Quartet, and resisted foreign races with all their might, the post station system prevailed again.
Suddenly, the man remembered something, turned his head and asked, "Lao Liu hasn't come back yet?"
The second person smiled, wiped the dust on his face, and said, "General Lu, Lao Liu, as a scout, is ten miles ahead of us, and at this time, he will definitely enjoy Qingfu in the post station!"
The only person who can be called "General Lu" is Lu Fengxian, who was ordered to recruit soldiers.
At the beginning, when a team of ten horsemen and 3,000 people turned into a torrent to recruit troops everywhere, Lu Fengxian set off with this team of ten people.
By the standard of the army, when setting off on a light horse, there must be a scout. So now there are eleven people in the team, and one person acts as a scout in front.
The second person was a little puzzled, and he asked, "General Lu, why do we have to go to Hanhai City?"
Lu Fengxian squinted and looked ahead, then turned around and replied, "This is what Sun Bin entrusted to me. I can't help but say yes!"
Suddenly, Lu Fengxian seemed to remember something, and quipped: "By the way, Chen Bing, as far as I know, you are also a disciple of Jiangnan, right?
The second person who was called Chen Bing scratched his head and smiled innocently: "I won't go back! Back then, I secretly signed up for the conscription, and I finally passed the Imperial City Selection Contest and passed the Demon Cave Trial before I joined the border army. If I go back now, I guess my father will beat me to death!"
The crowd laughed.
Chen Bing suddenly asked: "By the way, general, after our conscription is over this time, can we really go out of the Eastern Imperial City and fight at will?"
Lu Fengxian nodded and said with a smile: "I can still trust Sun Bin's words!"
A trace of excitement flashed in Chen Bing's eyes, and he said: "Damn, Lao Tzu has been in the Eastern Emperor for more than ten years, and the last time the city was almost broken, he was almost abolished by the demon clan with a knife and his right arm, Lao Tzu has saved up enough strength, and he can finally take revenge!"
Speaking of this, Chen Bing smiled and said to Lu Fengxian: "General Lu, we don't like to hide it, when I heard that I was transferred back to the battle city and wanted to come back to recruit soldiers, I secretly scolded you all day!"
Lu Fengxian scolded with a smile: "Get out of you! You were a good seedling in Jiangnan back then, and if you don't learn the good ones, you can learn how to scold people from those veteran oilers!"
Chen Bing grinned.
On the opposite side, there was an old man and a young man on the official road, the old one was about sixty or seventy years old, and the young one was estimated to be only five or six years old, and she was a young girl. It seems that it is a pair of granddaughters.
When the old man saw the ten light horses on the official road with bloody implications, he instinctively was a little scared, took the girl's hand, and wanted to take a detour.
But when the little girl saw the red horse, she became interested, and pulled the old man over, shouting to touch the horse.
The old man was afraid that the little girl would fall, so he had to come over cautiously, but when he was ten meters away, he didn't dare to move.
The officers and soldiers are not terrible, but the most terrible thing is these murderous soldiers. Who knows if these old pawns will draw knives and kill people on a whim?
Not to mention anything else, as long as one of these ten horsemen charges, he and his children can't dodge, and they will inevitably be injured. When the time comes, who will you go to?
Looking for these cavalry?
Give the old man the courage to be bold, he doesn't dare!
However, Lu Fengxian smiled slightly, and secretly signaled that the few people behind him did not need to step forward. Then he drove his horse forward and approached the little girl.
The old man took the child a step back, his eyes frightened.
Lu Fengxian's eyes were soft, and he leaned down to look at the little girl, and his voice was warm: "Do you want to touch the horse?"
The nine horsemen behind him, his eyes were dull, and he couldn't believe that he looked at Lu Fengxian, who was so soft.
The girl didn't see the old man's frightened eyes, and replied crisply: "Yes!"
Lu Fengxian dismounted gently, pulled the reins with his left hand, then looked at the old man, and said softly: "Old man, don't worry." Let her touch it! ”
The old man looked incredulous. This military master, so easy to talk?!
Lu Fengxian continued to smile, picked up the little girl with his right hand, put her on the horse's back, and said softly: "It's okay, this horse is human, just touch it!"
......
After seeing the old man leave with the satisfied little girl, Lu Fengxian slowly breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little dazed.
After killing a lifetime of aliens and getting the title of a ghost god, even he has forgotten what softness is.
When I was a child, I was a little vague. But he still remembers that after his mother was killed by the ghost clan, his father took himself, a child of half-ghost and half-human blood, and escaped death many times.
The last time, my father was stabbed six times, and he took a strong breath, and after meeting the frontier veteran, he still didn't know how to touch the red horse.
That time, the old man also had soft eyes and said to him, "If you want to touch it, touch it!"
Then he said to his father, "I will help you do it in the future." I'll take care of this kid for you. ”
After that, Dad smiled slightly, closed his eyes and looked at him, and said, "Thank you." ”
......
Just as Lu Fengxian was in a daze, suddenly, there was a sound of thunderous horses' hooves in front of him, and everyone subconsciously held the hilt of the knife and was on guard.
However, Lu Fengxian was the first to react, and said angrily: "Collect the knife! We are in the south of the Yangtze River, not in the frontier, so we should rein in our murderous aura! There is no danger! It should be Liu Jun who is back!"
Sure enough, the sound of horses' hooves was accompanied by Lao Liu, who had served as a scout before.
The person called Liu Jun was a young man, but unfortunately, there was a hideous scar on the right cheek. Beneath his iron armor, there was a faint scar that spread to the left side of his neck.
This young man, obviously, is a veteran of a hundred battles who has experienced large and small battles and escaped death many times.
He quickly rushed to Lu Fengxian, quickly dismounted, and said angrily: "General, you said that this is the boundary of the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not our northwest plug, where is the danger, you have to be a scout! My horse is almost tired." ”
Lu Fengxian scolded with a smile: "! Look at your horse, you are in good spirits! Maybe you just went to the post station, drank enough water, and ate enough forage!"
That Liu Jun blushed for the first time and muttered: "I did this on the way back after walking ten miles." ”
Lu Fengxian rolled his eyes and rewarded him with a skull that was neither light nor heavy.
Then Lu Feng asked first: "By the way, I didn't see anything abnormal, right?"
Liu Jun's face changed, he touched his head, and said: "After I walked ten miles forward, I met a person who asked us to stay at the post station temporarily and not to go out. ”
Lu Fengxian frowned slightly: "Huh?"
Liu An sorted out his thoughts and continued: "What does he seem to be called...... Sky...... Tianba Yu came and said that someone in Hanhai City had set up a bureau in front of him, and he wanted to prepare to find out the traitor, and asked us not to go out for the time being. By the way, this is the letter he asked me to hand over to you, I checked it, and there is no problem. ”
Lu Fengxian nodded slightly, opened the envelope, and read the contents of the letter in detail.
After a while, he laughed, and a flame rose from his palm, burning the envelope at all, and said with a smile: "It is worthy of Li Shimin's junior brother, and he really has courage! That's it, you don't have to go to Hanhai City, you go to the surrounding cities to recruit soldiers! I will go to Hanhai alone after a while." By the way, and remember that this conscription is not better than before, and excellent warriors must be recruited, and Li Shimin is in urgent need of manpower. ”
The faces of the other ten people changed, and they opened their mouths to speak.
Lu Fengxian waved his hand and quipped: "I, the deputy city lord of the Eastern Emperor, where do I need your protection, you can go!"
Seeing everyone's reluctant looks, Lu Fengxian scolded with a smile: "Hurry up and get out! Don't disturb me to go to the front post station to sleep!"
The crowd laughed again.
......
A hundred miles behind these eleven horsemen, there is a small village with beautiful mountains and rivers.
The village is in the middle of nowhere, so it is rarely visited on weekdays.
But on this day, this small village was full of blood.
A ghost clan with a blue face and fangs shrouded in a black coat cut the neck of a young man with an axe and rushed over, and then asked the only remaining old man: "Old man, continue to move forward three hundred miles, what is the name of that city?"
The old man was almost crazy, looked at the ghost clan hysterically, and said, "You monster!"
The ghost clan smiled slightly, instantly stepped forward, broke the old man's only remaining arm, and then said, "My ghost fang, there are a hundred ways to know the news I want from your mouth." Say!"
The old man screamed miserably, gritted his teeth and didn't speak, just snorted a mouthful of blood.
Then, the old man's legs were discounted.
"If you don't say it, I can find another village and kill it again. ”
The old man was silent for a moment, and then almost murmured, "That city is called Hanhai. ”
"Good. With that, the ghost tooth simply twisted the old man's head off.
Suddenly, he remembered something, and suddenly realized: "Why is the name of this city so familiar when I said it! It turns out that it is on the list of ghost clans! No wonder ghosts don't care so much about this city!"
A hundred years ago, a genius boy came out of this city.
That young man, the big man of the Six Realms who was stirring up now was uneasy.
The Immortal Clan once heard the news that this young man had made some people in the Divine Realm who opposed killing and war ready to move. Therefore, it is necessary to kill it quickly, or wear down its fighting spirit.
What could be more dampening his fighting spirit than destroying his hometown?
The ghost tooth clapped his hands, letting the blood splashed on his hands drip to the ground, and looked ahead, squinting slightly.
The ghost doesn't come back, I'm coming.
