Although these hundreds of soldiers are majestic and look like elite soldiers, the number is still too small, only 500 people, and when they meet thousands of Jianghu people, they have not been annihilated by a rush? Moreover, when Zhao Cheng's gaze swept over those iron rods, his smile deepened a little, and he felt that these soldiers carrying iron rods were simply here to be funny! How lethal can this be? In the face of the Jianghu people with strong martial arts, these soldiers holding iron rods are as ridiculous as holding a toy bow for a child, I really don't understand what is the point of Li Yong going south with such soldiers, is it just to bluff people? However, Li Yong's soldiers are too weak, and it doesn't seem to be a good thing for him, it is not conducive to picking chestnuts in the fire, but there is no perfect chance in the world! The long procession walked in a circle, rushing towards this side, attracting everyone's attention, and the two horses that suddenly appeared were clearly coming straight to this side, who were these two horses? Lin Ruoxi exclaimed.

"It's Qingwu and Qinggong!"

Zhao Cheng turned his head to look at Li Yong and explained.

"It's my two unsuccessful apprentices who came, I don't know what news they brought!"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"Oh? It turned out to be Zhao Daxia's two apprentices! ”

Sure enough, it was two young people, who looked a few years older than Lin Ruoxi, and the two of them rushed over.

"Master, Master!"

The two shouted, and Zhao Cheng hurriedly said.

"Don't hurry up and meet Hua Tinghou! What did you find in Suzhou? ”

The two brothers, Wu and Qinggong, hurriedly hugged their fists towards Li Yong and saluted.

"Meet Huating Hou, Huating Hou, Master, the Jianghu people gathered in Suzhou have been killed!"

Zhao Cheng was shocked.

"What? Those Jianghu people have been killed? ”

Luo Fengxiang and Lin Ruoxi were also shocked.

"Why did those Jianghu people suddenly kill?"

Why did you kill it all of a sudden, this question is good, Li Yong asked calmly.

"How far are they?"

Qinggong hurriedly said.

"It's only a few miles away!"

Luo Fengxiang's face changed drastically when she heard this.

"What? Only a few miles away? How do you two find out the news? How can it be repaid now? ”

Qingwu said a little aggrieved.

"These Jianghu people suddenly went north, and we were the last to get the news, and we only rushed along the way!"

Lin Ruoxi aired.

"Oh, you two didn't make a mistake!"

Zhao Cheng scolded.

"You two waste things, you have studied with me for ten years, it's really rotten wood that can't be carved!"

At this time, he couldn't complain about Qingwu and Qinggong brothers anymore, Luo Fengxiang hurriedly asked.

"Hua Tinghou, what can I do about this? Or, leave these burdens behind, let's retreat to the town for the time being, and defend the city? ”

Qingwu hurriedly said.

"Many Jianghu people are also riding horses, and I don't know if they can catch up!"

Zhao Cheng said resolutely.

"Huatinghou, why don't we fight with them! It is not yet known who killed the deer! ”

Luo Fengxiang retorted.

"How are we fighting with them? You can't put Huatinghou in danger! ”

Li Yong's reaction was not big, but he sighed in his heart, those Jianghu people in Suzhou were really killed, and it was very likely that Zhao Cheng revealed the news that he could transfer troops, so these Jianghu talents immediately went north, wanting to make things happen before he mobilized the army, Zhao Cheng did not lurk his disciples in Suzhou at all, but he himself lurked here, although there is no evidence, but Li Yong has already been eight or nine points certain, at this moment Li Yong is just quietly watching everyone's performance, Luo Fengxiang and Lin Ruoxi should really not know, Really anxious, smoke and dust had appeared on the horizon in the distance, Li Yong took out the telescope from his arms and looked into the distance, the first to appear was indeed the Jianghu people on horseback, they couldn't be regarded as cavalry at all, because at a glance it looked like a mess, a plate of scattered sand! The smoke and dust on the horizon in the distance, everyone saw it, Luo Fengxiang said urgently.

"Master Hou, if you don't leave, it's too late!"

Li Yong glanced back at the soldiers behind him and said loudly.

"Brothers, there are nearly a thousand people in front of you, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!"

The morale of the soldiers was like a rainbow, and Li Yong said loudly.

"Brethren! Do you dare to fight? ”

"Fight! War! War! ”

Li Yong looked at Luo Fengxiang and the others and said with a smile.

"Our Datang soldiers are invincible in a hundred battles, because they never flinch, since the thieves have been killed, how can they retreat?"

Luo Fengxiang said urgently.

"Oh, Huatinghou, there are many enemies, we can't come hard, we will suffer!"

Zhao Cheng said with a proud face.

"Since it has come to this point, I think what Hua Tinghou said is right, if you retreat at this time, you will definitely lose morale, it is better to fight with them, we are united here, but although those Jianghu people are gathered together, they are not in harmony! We're not all out of the blue. ”

Not all the odds? That means that not all of them are odds of winning, Luo Fengxiang couldn't help but glared at Zhao Cheng, at this time, he didn't persuade Hua Tinghou to flee quickly, and even instigated Hua Tinghou to stay and fight, Luo Fengxiang was dissatisfied.

"Senior brother, now is not the time for us to venture into the rivers and lakes, Huating Hou has the heavy responsibility of benefiting the people of Limin, how can he easily get into danger? Huating Hou, you have a golden body, you can't get into danger, we protect you and leave for the time being, and it is not too late to mobilize the army to encircle and suppress these Jianghu people! ”

"Who knows if there will be an ambush elsewhere? At this time, it will be more dangerous to walk around in a hurry! It's better to meet these Jianghu people in front of you for a while! It's just a group of rabble, so don't worry, in front of the military array, no matter how many rabbles are in vain, they do have martial arts, if they fight alone, of course my command is not the opponent of the Jianghu people, but this is not a single fight. ”

Li Yong said with a smile, return to the army? With these iron rods under your command, it is useless for you to have a strict military formation, how can it have nothing to do with martial arts? Isn't fighting knives martial arts? Isn't coming to the battlefield a knife fight? He really doesn't know where Li Yong got the courage to return to the army? Zhao Cheng listened attentively on the side, and smiled in his heart.

"What Hua Tinghou said is true! These Jianghu people are a rabble of uneven hearts, and the morale of Hua Tinghou's subordinates is strong, and they can fight a battle, and what Hua Tinghou said is, who knows if those Jianghu people have set up an ambush somewhere, if we go in an ambush, there is an ambush in front of us, and there are chasing soldiers in the back, then everything is over! ”

Zhao Cheng nodded and said, Luo Fengxiang listened to it and still needed to be persuaded, Li Yong had already raised his hand and said.

"No more talk, I've made up my mind!"

Hearing Li Yong's tone full of undoubts, Luo Fengxiang didn't say anything more, but took a deep breath and clenched the three-foot Qingfeng in her hand, she silently made up her mind in her heart, no matter what, she must protect Li Yong today, even if she loses her life, she can't let Li Yong fall into the hands of these Jianghu people.

"Ruoxi, are you afraid?"

Luo Fengxiang asked softly.

"Master, I'm not afraid!"

Lin Ruoxi shook her head slightly when she heard this, in fact, she was a little scared in her heart, although she had seen a lot of vicious scenes with her master in the rivers and lakes over the years, but it was really the first time she had seen such a big battle, and thousands of people in front of her rushed over, causing her great pressure.

"If you encounter danger, after I come to break off, don't look back, take Huating Hou and leave quickly!"

Luo Fengxiang said softly, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard it, if the master stayed and broke off, he would be facing hundreds of people who were already crazy about gold, even if the master was strong in martial arts, he would be outnumbered! Master, is this trying to sacrifice one's life for righteousness? It's just, is it worth it for the sake of Ankang Huatinghou? She wanted to persuade the master very much, but she saw the seriousness and persistence in the master's eyes, she knew that she couldn't persuade the master at all, there was a lot of smoke and dust in front of her, hundreds of horsemen were sporadically pressing towards this side, behind the Jianghu people on horseback, there were Jianghu people on foot, those holding knives and carrying spears, trotting in groups of three or five followed, and the Jianghu people were gradually approaching.

"Prepare for war! The infantry is in front of the formation, and the cavalry is on the flanks! ”

Cheng Chuliang led the cavalry to look at the scattered Jianghu people in the distance, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, this was the first time in the history of the dragoons in the Xishan Battalion to fight with the people on the rivers and lakes, whether it was the army or the navy in the Xishan Battalion, there was a heart in his heart that he had to behave well in front of Li Yong, the rifles and artillery of the Xishan Battalion were too powerful in both the army and the navy, so the dragoons of the special arms were even more fierce, and the Jianghu people on the opposite side were walking very scattered, and the black soldiers of the Xishan Battalion felt very disdainful, These people are just a plate of loose sand, but Zhao Cheng and Luo Fengxiang felt great pressure, Princess Zhenzhu looked at the people in the rivers and lakes opposite, and then looked at the soldiers and horses who were as immobile as a mountain although there were only a few hundred people on her side, and she was very confident in lifting her qidao.

"These Jianghu people are stragglers, as long as we condense into a military formation, we are not afraid of them at all!"

Luo Fengxiang and Lin Ruoxi still lacked confidence in their hearts when they heard this, because they ran the rivers and lakes and knew how much advantage the Jianghu people who knew martial arts had in the face of people who were not very good at martial arts, Zhao Cheng looked at the soldiers who stood silently, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Li Yong's command was at least courageous, but unfortunately, courage and morale could not make up for the huge gap in strength, what made Li Yong and Liu Renyuan and others a little puzzled was that those Jianghu people on horseback did not gather to charge, but scattered among the Jianghu people on foot, Slowed down, walking with those Jianghu people, Li Yong and Liu Renyuan were stunned, the advantage of riding a horse to fight is speed, what are you doing riding a horse so slowly and leisurely? If you ride a horse and don't run up and charge, then why do you ride a horse? For these Jianghu people, riding on a horse is better than standing on the ground to show their martial arts, so Li Yong and Liu Renyuan are puzzled, why do these Jianghu people ride horses? It is normal for Li Yong and Liu Ren to guess their psychology, because the reason why these Jianghu people ride horses is not to have an advantage in the war, but to feel that once they catch Li Yong, they have an advantage in running, and catching Li Yong means 10,000 taels of gold! Of course, 10,000 taels of gold have to run quickly, although they haven't started yet, but they have already made plans in their hearts, once they rush to Li Yong's side, they will immediately capture Li Yong, and then shoot the horse and run, those people in the rivers and lakes are getting closer and closer, and they can see more clearly, the people in the rivers and lakes in the distance have shouted excitedly, Li Yong is in front of them, 10,000 taels of gold is in front of them, who is not excited? A group of Jianghu people drew their knives and ran up shouting, as if they couldn't grab the gold if they ran slowly, with Li Yong's order, the infantry and cavalry of the Xishan battalion quickly moved, silent and orderly, hundreds of people in a formation is not wide, so those Jianghu people are all densely crowded together, for fear that the position is out of order and will not be able to grab the benefits, you push me and squeeze, a chaos, not to mention Li Yong, Liu Renyuan and others, even the black army and cavalry of the Xishan Battalion are very speechless and disdainful, How dare you rush over with this mess? Is it rushing over to die? However, Luo Fengxiang and Lin Ruoxi felt more and more pressure, they couldn't help but get closer to Li Yong, not to seek a sense of security, but to get closer to Li Yong to protect Li Yong, Liu Ren was willing to also stand on Li Yong's side, in fact, he wanted to take the cavalry to charge, but he had to stay to guard against Zhao Cheng, because Zhao Cheng was standing on Li Yong's side, the distance was not too far, Princess Zhenzhu was standing behind Li Yong's side, she was staring at Luo Fengxiang and Lin Ruoxi, although she felt that Luo Fengxiang's master and apprentice were worth believing, But this is what Wu Cao explained to her, be careful, those Jianghu people are running and shouting excitedly, but this side is very quiet, except for the occasional neighing of war horses, there is no other sound, those soldiers are solemn, they are all silent, not a trace of sound comes out, thousands of Jianghu people are running around, like a huge wave surging, and with the sound of a mountain roaring tsunami, giving people a great sense of oppression, Lin Ruoxi's hand holding the sword is a little white, She glanced sideways at the master slightly, and found that although the master looked resolute, there was also a trace of nervousness in his expression, even the master who had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time was nervous! Lin Ruoxi's gaze turned to Li Yong again, but found that Li Yong did not have a trace of nervousness on his face, but just stared at the people in the rivers and lakes rushing in the distance. Shouldn't it, what kind of ignorant people are fearless in such a big scene? She thinks she has to be nervous even if thousands of pigs rush over, right? However, Li Yong is still so calm, is he in the chest? She suddenly felt that Li Yong was impressive just for this concentration, after all, even the master was nervous!

"Ready to shoot~"

Li Yong shouted, at this time, all the black soldiers of the Xishan Battalion immediately picked up the rifles in their hands, pulled the bolt and loaded the bullets.

"Two hundred meters!"

"One hundred and eighty meters!"

"One hundred and sixty meters!"

"One hundred and forty meters!"

Liu Renyuan next to him was calculating the distance, he was almost all in the Xishan camp to practice, and his estimation of the distance was more accurate than Li Yong's, Luo Fengxiang, Lin Ruoxi and others listened to Liu Renyuan reporting the distance, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, what is this doing? What is rice? Cooking? When do you still want to eat this?
