The remaining wealthy people in Yanshi County have a very high sense of crisis.

Therefore, they recruit strong men from all walks of life regardless of the cost, Xue Changfeng's swordsmanship is very good, archery is outstanding among the people, as for the fists, feet, sticks and kung fu is a temporary choice, when he pulled out his simple appearance of the horizontal knife, the old armor who is responsible for assessing the quality of the beater did not hesitate to allow him to join the team, and the remuneration offered far exceeded the others.

Xue Changfeng's horizontal knife was given to him by Yin Erhu back then, and it came from the hands of Yun's Seiko.

Yun's Seiko is not big among Yun's many industries, but it is the most important industry in Yunchu.

In Yun's Seiko, there are not only Datang's forging knife masters, but also exotic craftsmen from the river, although Yun's Seiko produces not many knives a year, and the kitchen knife is important, but that's it, a Datang horizontal knife from Yun's Seiko is also a valuable treasure in Chang'an City.

The old armor soldier has experienced a hundred battles, what kind of knife is a good knife, and what kind of knife is a knife that has been tested in actual combat, he only needs to look at it to distinguish clearly.

Xue Changfeng has experienced a hundred battles, and his horizontal knife naturally follows him through a hundred battles, coupled with Xue Changfeng's fierce aura that is different from the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, this old armor soldier took a fancy to him at first sight.

The old armor is an expert and believes in his eyesight, Xue Changfeng is also a person who is used to being a traitor, and he also has full confidence in his own ability, judging from this first round of confrontation, Xue Changfeng has the upper hand.

A team that had just slaughtered the leader of the thieves, the confidence in the battle was naturally sufficient, coupled with the fact that those rich people rewarded these people at any cost, so that Xue Changfeng only walked into their camp, not to mention the wine, and meat to eat, it was still a good yellow beef.

All of them were drinking wine and eating meat, dreaming of the happy life they would live after the thieves were wiped out.

Only Xue Changfeng drank wine and ate meat, while feeling pity for these simple people who just wanted to work hard to survive.

The borders of Yanshi County have been blocked by armies from all walks of life, no matter what happens in Yanshi County at this time, it is a process that must be experienced in the eyes of the emperor, and the reason why they will tolerate it is because he wants to see how bad things are to the extreme, and then weigh whether there will be consequences that he cannot bear after the large-scale implementation.

No matter how hard these people try to change their fate, the final result is up to the emperor.

Liao Wu failed because he couldn't defeat the armor, Xue Changfeng thought that thirty or even more elite armorers would soon appear around Liao Wu, and if there were new armorers on Hu Laosan's side, there was no doubt that there would be new armorers on Liao Wu's side, and until Hu Laosan and his group could no longer have the strength to resist, they would usher in the final destruction.

Because of his high martial arts, Xue Changfeng obtained a set of leather armor, although the protection was not as good as that of the ironclad warriors, it was much stronger than the stragglers in the team who had bamboo pieces wrapped around their bodies.

Just by taking a look at those armorers, Xue Changfeng found that most of the armor worn by these armorers was not old, and it was a standard two-grade armor from the perspective of the standard. Rough workmanship, simple and practical, this kind of armor was very popular in the late Sui period, from which it is known that most of the armor on these armor should be scattered iron armor during the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

In the process of the Tang Dynasty sweeping the world and dominating the world, not all the armorers died in battle, or surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and a large number of armor soldiers chose to return to the countryside.

And their armor has become a family heirloom and left to their children and grandchildren, so that when they encounter danger, they have at least a little self-protection power.

Anyone who can become a soldier cannot come from a poor person, because making a set of such armor is enough to make a wealthy landlord break his family.

The invincible Xuanjia Army of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was only 3,500 people at full strength, and Emperor Taizong relied on such armed forces to defeat the heroes of the world.

Seeing that Xue Changfeng was eating slowly, the white-haired armor soldier took out a piece of steaming beef from the pot and put it on Xue Changfeng's rice plate and said, "If you eat more, you will suffer if you eat slowly." ”

Xue Changfeng took a bite of the beef and ate it, and asked the old soldier: "How long are we going to fight?" ”

The old armor soldier pondered for a moment and said: "Someone doesn't give us people who have some family resources to live, there is no way, we can only continue to fight, fighting, isn't it a matter of you and me, there is always one side that needs to admit defeat to succeed, the old man doesn't want to admit defeat, then fight to the end." ”

Xue Changfeng took another bite of beef, and felt that this old soldier seemed to be a little above board, and he didn't want him to die in vain, so he said in a low voice: "I was originally a guard in Luoyang, specializing in following the caravan to go on a long journey, and I was delayed in Yanshi County for a while due to illness, and when I got better, I planned to leave Yanshi County, but when I went out of Yanshi County, I found that I couldn't get out, and there were government soldiers, government servants, and people blocking the road outside."

In other words, Yanshi County is now a dead land, but you are fighting here for life and death, and there will be no good results. ”

After listening to Xue Changfeng's words, the old armor soldier was not surprised, and asked instead, "Since you know so well, why do you want to join us?" ”

Xue Changfeng raised the plate in his hand and said, "There is no food and clothing." ”

The old armor soldier smiled when he heard this, nodded and said, "Since you want to eat, then eat more." In the afternoon, Liao Wu, a thief, would bring people to sneak attack again. ”

Xue Changfeng saw that the old soldier seemed to have his own thoughts, so he didn't talk much, and after eating and drinking, he found a sunny place and slept peacefully wrapped in a blanket.

When the sun was in the west, Xue Changfeng was awakened by a rapid sound of gongs, and there were people shouting for enemy attacks everywhere.

Unlike those who are in a mess, the armorers are obviously more calm, wearing armor, binding armor, holding weapons and preparing in an orderly manner, full of the demeanor of a strong man.

Hu Laosan was also dressed in armor, but he was carrying a black pennant behind his back, and a black tiger was embroidered on it.

This black tiger is the symbol of Liu Heimin, the king of Handong.

After seeing this iconic banner, Xue Changfeng immediately understood the reason why those armies outside were besieging but not attacking.

Just because the owner of this flag is too terrible!

Back then, after Dou Jiande, the king of Great Xia, was beheaded in Chang'an by Li Yuan, the king of Tang, Liu Heimin, a subordinate of the king of Great Xia, hid in his hometown in Zhangnan County to farm.

When Li Tang began to hunt and kill the old department of Dou Jiande, the king of Great Xia, on a large scale in Hebei and Shandong, Liu Heimin took a hundred and ten people, wearing a few pairs of armor, to attack Zhangnan County, and once again erected the banner of the king of Great Xia.

On August 21, Liu Heimin captured Liting, and Wang Xingmin, the general of the Tun Guard, was killed in battle.

Therefore, Dou Jiande killed the old officials of the Tang Dynasty one after another in response to the uprising.

On August 26, Cui Yuanxun, a native of Shenzhou, killed him and assassinated Shi Peixi and rebelled against Liu Heimin.

On August 29, Xu Yuanlang, the governor of Yanzhou in the Tang Dynasty, also responded with troops.

In September, Liu Heimin defeated the allied forces of Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, and Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou.

On the sixth day of the first month of October, Liu Heimin captured Yingzhou, captured the assassin Shi Lu Shirui, and captured Guanzhou.

On November 19, Liu Heimin captured Dingzhou and killed the governor Li Xuantong.

On November 27, Zhou Wenju, a native of Qizhou, killed and assassinated Wang Xiaoju and surrendered to Liu Heimin.

On the third day of the first month of December, Liu Heimin captured Jizhou and killed the governor Lu Ling.

On December 12, Liu Heimin defeated Li Shiji, the general of Zuo Wuhou, in Songzhou, and captured Xue Wanjun's brothers.

The Turkic Jieli Khan also sent men and horses to help.

The Tang court was shaken, and on December 15, it sent Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, to conquer Liu Heimin.

From 17 to 19 December, in three days, he captured Xingzhou, Weizhou, and Xinzhou one after another, and killed Pan Daoyi, the governor of Weizhou.

In half a year, all Dou Jiande's original territory was restored.

Until Liu Heimin fought against Emperor Taizong in Luoshui, as a result, Emperor Taizong cut off Luoshui, taking advantage of Liu Heimin's efforts to cross the river, digging a dam, a flood drowned most of Liu Heimin's 20,000 elite cavalry, only more than 1,000 people escaped with Liu Heimin and defected to the Turks.

Since Liu Heimin defected to the Turks, his invincible aura seemed to disappear all at once, and he was finally captured alive by Li Jiancheng, the prince of the Tang Dynasty at the time, and beheaded in Yuzhou.

In the face of this banner, it is obvious that Li Zhi is very interested, and seems to want to see if this Hu Laosan has the potential to become the next Liu Heimin.

Xue Changfeng looked at Hu Laosan for a while, and then he definitely thought that Hu Laosan, who was carrying the Black Tiger flag, was not worthy of Liu Heimin's shoes.

Looking at the old armor soldiers who were commanding the armor soldiers and the people to resist Liao Wu's attack, Xue Changfeng slowly got behind Hu Laosan, who didn't dare to charge forward to fight, cut off Hu Laosan's neck with a single sword, and took the black tiger flag away in chaos.

Killing people was only a matter of a moment, and those panicked people didn't even know that their boss was dead, and Xue Changfeng rushed forward like a tiger, and he didn't know how many Liao Wu people he had killed along the way, and finally rushed to the front of the team.

After taking a look at the front, Xue Changfeng decisively chose to retreat, dodging left and right like a butterfly in the chaos and leaving the most fierce battlefield in front of him, and finally, found an ownerless war horse, jumped on it, and left the battlefield.

The reason why he did this was entirely because the battle situation was exactly the same as he expected, and a large number of armor soldiers appeared on Liao Wu's side......

Leaving the battlefield, Xue Changfeng found a big tree to climb up, found a stable branch and sat down, took out the wine jug given by Yin Erhu, and drank wine while watching the battle situation.

Hu Laosan's death made the military morale of those people disperse all of a sudden, and Xue Changfeng's obvious escape behavior accelerated the collapse of this team.

Only the armor soldiers can deal with the armor soldiers, and the endurance of the armor soldiers who fight in heavy armor is difficult to maintain very well, so in half an hour, Xue Changfeng witnessed the fall of the old armor soldiers and his group.

Even to death, there was not a single surrender among these armorers, but they fought until the last man.

Xue Changfeng's eyesight is very good, he can see very clearly, the last armor soldier was cut off with a long knife by the armor soldier opposite, but he couldn't see the appearance of the flying human head, and he didn't know if it was the old armor soldier who gave him a large piece of meat to eat.

Seeing Liao Wuyi's gang bustling straight to Sanchali, Xue Changfeng rode back to the clean battlefield that had been cleaned.

He said that the battlefield was clean because there were only stripped corpses left, and he searched the battlefield for a long time before finding the head of the white-bearded old armorer.

The head was found, but the body didn't know where it was, because there were headless corpses everywhere.

There was no way, so he found the strongest corpse and placed the head of the old armor soldier on it.

I found an abandoned well, threw the old armor soldier into it, threw two thunder fire bombs into the well and turned around, and with a bang, the thunder fire bomb blew up the well, which was regarded as repaying the old armor soldier who gave him a piece of meat to eat.

On the way towards Yanshi County, Xue Changfeng had been looking at the black tiger flag, this flag was already very old, and the surrounding ornaments had already haired, but the black tiger on it was still lifelike.

Seeing that Yanshi City was in front of him, Xue Changfeng lit this black tiger flag with a fire fold, and saw it burned to ashes.

After the last trace of sparks was extinguished, he said in a low voice: "What Boss Yin said is right, some heroes are really damned. ”
