Someone once asked Lu He if he had any fear when he was in the side, and the answer Lu He gave was always no.

But in the deepest part of Lu He's heart, there is always a picture that lingers like a nightmare.

And that scene is the steppe cavalry riding like a torrent rushing towards him.

At the beginning, as a member of the Qingzhou Army, he followed his main general into the grassland and wanted to take the initiative to attack.

However, the result was that they were attacked by the steppe cavalry, and in the end they suffered heavy losses, and even the main general was beheaded by the steppe people. It was that battle that left an indelible memory in Lu He's heart.

And now the nightmare that had been unforgettable for him for many years struck again, and this time it was even more desperate than the grassland cavalry attacking their Qingzhou army.

Because the Houma Iron Cavalry was a heavy horseman, their impact was more powerful than that of the steppe cavalry.

"Lu Shuai, retreat quickly, otherwise we will all die here."

Liu Si looked at Lu He, who was stunned in place, and reminded loudly.

At this time, the Houma Iron Cavalry had already rushed into the formation of the city guard camp.

Looking at his comrades who were constantly knocked out, Liu Si was actually like a knife.

But there was no way for him to save his comrades.

He knew that under the onslaught of heavy cavalry like Houma's iron cavalry, any soldier of the city guard battalion who was hit by them would not have a chance to survive.

Because the huge impact force will directly hit the internal organs of the person to pieces.

Moreover, the knight on the war horse was still waving his weapons and ruthlessly harvesting the frightened city guards and soldiers around him.

In the face of such a desperate scene, even a veteran like Liu Si, who had experienced a hundred battles, could only lament.

"Yes, Lu Shuai, let's run away quickly! If you don't run away, those cavalry will really kill you. ”

Seeing Hou Ma riding in the crowd and constantly impacting Zhang Fengmu, he was already frightened at this time.

He now wishes that his mother could give birth to two more legs for himself.

However, he couldn't speed up his escape at this time, because the Cao gang who surrounded the city guard camp had not completely collapsed.

"I'm afraid that my city guard battalion will lose more than half of it after this battle!"

Lu He was not in a hurry to run away at this time, he just stood in place in a daze and muttered to himself.

"Lu Shuai stays in Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, as long as we can escape from the blood debt of the old Jin King, we will always have the opportunity to go to him to recover it."

Liu Si endured the pain in his shoulder and pulled Lu He and said.

"Hahaha, if you don't have a chance, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future."

Lu He suddenly burst into laughter.

His reaction was to startle Liu Si and Zhang Fengmu.

"Lu Shuai, don't be discouraged, wait until we escape, go to Zongzheng Temple immediately, I believe they will avenge those dead comrades."

Zhang Fengmu also immediately persuaded.

"It's useless, this time we have to deal with not the old Jin King at all, what we are dealing with now is actually Your Majesty, the imperial court, and the princes in the temple."

Lu He's eyes were full of tears.

In fact, he knew from the beginning that this time the action of the old Jin King was instructed by Emperor Shengheng.

Emperor Shengheng's goal was to completely eliminate Zongzheng Temple.

And as the commander of the city guard battalion of Jinling City, it stands to reason that he should not be involved in this matter.

Even he should stand on the side of the court like Zheng Yu.

But after careful consideration, he still chose to stand on the side of Zongzheng Temple.

There is no other reason, just because he feels that Emperor Shengheng is violating the ancestral system and humanity by doing this.

Emperor Shengheng's behavior of not hesitating to eliminate all the vassal kings surnamed Mu for the sake of power is really too ruthless and unjust.

What made it even more difficult for Lu He to accept was that Emperor Shengheng actually allowed the grassland army to go south in order to achieve his goal.

This really makes people feel that the relatives hate the enemies quickly.

Therefore, in Lu He's view, Emperor Shengheng's move was against the way of the benevolent monarch.

"Even if Lu Shuai is like this, what can he do, I don't believe that we can't avenge this blood revenge! It's a big deal, we will fall into the grass and join the grass army, no matter what, I, Liu Si, swear here, that one day I will avenge my brothers. ”

Liu Si saw that Lu He had completely lost his fighting spirit, and he immediately dragged Lu He and encouraged loudly.

Perhaps Liu Si's words really touched Lu He, and a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in his originally godless eyes.

"It's just that Lu Shuai doesn't want the official position of our city guard battalion, I don't believe that we can't kill the old Jin King."

Zhang Fengmu also gritted his teeth and said at this time.

"Well, in that case, we have agreed that no matter who escapes this catastrophe today, the three of us must avenge the dead brothers in the future."

Lu He took out his dagger with red eyes, and slashed a knife on his cheek without hesitation.

Seeing this, Liu Si also did the same, and also made a knife in his face.

And Zhang Fengmu slashed both of them in his face, he gritted his teeth, and finally made a stab on his cheek.

It's just that his knife is not as decisive as Lu He and Liu Si at all.

The scars on his face were also much shorter than those of Lu He and Liu Si.

After the three of them made a blood oath, Lu He seemed to have returned to his place as if his soul had returned.

Immediately, they began to organize the orderly retreat of the soldiers of the city guard battalion.

As for those who were impacted by the Houma cavalry, the three of them could only grit their teeth and not pay attention.

Because they all know that no matter what they do now, they can't save them.

And the old Jin King's side was smiling very heartily when he saw the Houma Iron Cavalry rampaging through the crowd and constantly slaughtering the soldiers of the city guard camp.

"Order the Jin King's personal guards to immediately hurry up and slaughter those city guard battalion soldiers."

Looking at the soldiers of the city guard camp who had been completely frightened by the Houma Iron Cavalry, the old Jin King immediately issued another order.

This time, Ma Zheng did not raise any further objections.

Subsequently, the guards of the King of Jin also gave up besieging those city guard camp soldiers and scattered to slaughter the panicked city guard camp soldiers one by one.

Just when the old King Jin was in a particularly happy mood, suddenly a guard of the King of Jin ran out of the Jin King's mansion.

"Your Majesty, there is urgent news here."

As he spoke, the guard handed a small note to the old Jin King.

This little note he had just taken from the leg of a carrier pigeon.

The old Jin King unfolded the small note with a smile on his face.

But as soon as he glanced at him, the smile on his face immediately froze.

Ma Zheng saw that the old Jin King's face suddenly changed, and he immediately stepped forward to ask.

"Your Majesty, but what's the news from Yaowujun?"

Ma Zheng actually knew the relationship between Zheng Yu and Princess Chengping from the beginning.

Therefore, he also knew that Zheng Yu had always had a connection with the old Jin King.

At this time, the only one who can pass on the book to Lao Jin Feige should be Zheng Yu.

"Nothing!"

The old Jin King slowed down for a moment, then crumpled the note in his hand and held it tightly in his hand.

Then he muttered for a moment and instructed Ma Zhengdao.

"Tell the Jin King's personal guards and Houma Iron Cavalry to speed up, and I will give them another time to burn half incense, and they must stop acting immediately after half burnt incense."

Ma Zheng immediately frowned when he heard this.

He didn't understand what was wrong with the Yaowu Army's side to make the old Jin King give such an order.

According to their previous agreement, the old Jin king's side must completely destroy or completely disperse the city guard camp, so that they can no longer affect the next actions.

But now is the right time to completely break up the city guard camp, but the old Jin King issued an order to terminate the operation, which made Ma Zheng really can't figure it out.

However, as the saying goes, the military is like a mountain, and since the old Jin King has already issued an order, he can only follow the order.

With the addition of the Jin King's personal guards, the soldiers of the city guard camp, who were already in a panic, fell into even greater despair again.

As a result, the number of guards and soldiers of the city guard camp who had originally escaped from the Cao Gang immediately increased.

This also caused the encirclement of the Cao Gang to be more scattered.

Even when the situation arrived, the Cao Gang also ran out with them in order to avoid the impact of the city guard battalion soldiers.

If someone takes the lead, more people will follow.

In the end, the encirclement on the Cao Gang's side completely collapsed like a dam bursting its banks.

At this time, Li Yi and the four of them saw that the breakthrough of the city guard camp soldiers had become a foregone conclusion, so they rode their war horses against the crowd to protect Tang Minghu and the others, who were already exhausted.

And whether it was the fleeing Cao gang or the city guard battalion soldiers, when they saw Li Yi and the others, they all avoided it with interest.

"With more help from Brother Li, if it weren't for you this time, my city guard camp might have been wiped out."

Although Tang Minghu couldn't even hold the big knife at this time, he still trembled and hugged his fists to thank Li Yi.

"Brother Tang, where are you, I already have a grudge against the old King of Jin, and it is just a coincidence that I can help your city guard camp this time."

Li Yi shook his head indifferently.

"No matter what, without you, our city guard camp will be wiped out today, and our city guard camp will remember your kindness."

Tang Minghu said and saluted Li Yi and them again.

"Now that the encirclement has been broken away, your city guard battalion will face the more than 1,000 Yaowu troops, are you sure?"

Li Yi was a little worried about the more than 1,000 Yaowu troops who came to support at this time.

"It doesn't matter, as long as there is room to show it, even if all the Yaowu troops come over, we will inevitably knock out a few of their front teeth."

Tang Minghu said with a disdainful expression.

But at this moment, they suddenly found that the guards of the city guard camp close to the side of King Jin's personal guard began to riot.

"Old King Jin, this old thing seems to be ready to bite off a piece of flesh and blood on us before we get out of trouble."

Tang Minghu rested for a while with the long knife, and then picked up the long knife again, ready to go forward to help his comrades resist the Houma Iron Cavalry and the Jin King's personal guards.

"Brother Tang, I see that you are exhausted now, and if you go to deal with Houma Iron Cavalry now, you will probably not be able to do it."

Li Yi grabbed Tang Minghu, who was about to go to help.

"Brother Li, don't worry, although I don't have much strength now, I can still do it by going to buy some time for my comrades."

Tang Minghu touched the blood on his face, gritted his teeth and said.

"Brother Tang, I just said that I happen to have an enmity with this old Jin King, why don't you rest here for a while, let's go and meet this so-called Houma Iron Rider for a while."

As soon as Li Yi said this, Yu Zhenlei behind him couldn't help but light up his eyes.

And Qi Chao was even more excited to dance the glaive knife in his hand.

"Don't be verbose, I've long wanted to try it with these heavy riders!"

"yes, I'd like to see if my iron boring can penetrate these guys' armor."

Ansu was also eager to try.

"People say that heavy riding is an archer's nightmare, but today I want to see if my bow and arrows are good or those iron horsemen are strong."

Miyi people are also infected by the momentum of everyone who is self-sacrificing.

Among the few people, only the ghost doctor did not speak.

It's not that the ghost doctor is afraid of these Houma iron horses.

The reason why he was reluctant to speak harshly was simply because he felt that his poison magic would not be able to inflict lethal damage on these heavily armed iron riders.

After all, whether it is a poisonous needle, a poison dart, or a poisonous powder venom, it is difficult for a high-speed galloping cavalry to be hit.

"But there are only a few of you, but the other party has hundreds of iron horsemen, and if you rush up like this, once they target you, it will be very dangerous."

Tang Minghu couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, and he immediately objected.

"Brother Tang, don't worry, they are heavy cavalry, and we can only be regarded as rangers, although their defense is relatively thick, but their speed will be greatly limited, so if they want to catch up with us, it is impossible at all."

Li Yi said confidently.

In other arms, Li Yi might not dare to take such a bold risk.

But as a man who had commanded five hundred cavalry and raided the steppe camp, he was confident that his understanding of cavalry was far better than that of these Houma iron horsemen.

"But it's still too dangerous."

Although Tang Minghu was told by Li Yi that he didn't know how to refute it, he still stopped him.

"I said, why are you such a mother-in-law, mother-in-law, we ourselves are not afraid of what you will stop us from doing?"

Ansu lifted the reins of his war horse and said to Tang Minghu dissatisfiedly.

"It's you, a man, who dares to fight among thousands of enemy troops with dozens of people, but why don't you want me to fight with the enemy, do you just want to be beautiful yourself, and don't want me to wait for your prestige?"

Qi Chao also understood that Tang Minghu was doing it for his own good, but he was unwilling to lose this opportunity to fight against the heavily armored cavalry.

So he had no choice but to resort to agitation.

As soon as these words came out, Tang Minghu and the remaining soldiers of the vanguard city guard battalion immediately turned red-faced.

"Brother Tang, my little brother is too young to speak, I hope you don't mind."

Li Yi saw that Tang Minghu was so angry that he was panting because of Qi Chao's words, and he immediately stepped forward to explain.

"Brother Li, I know that this little brother doesn't mean to offend us, I'm just worried about your safety!"

Tang Minghu is also a person with a lot of energy.

He calmed his anger in the first moment and explained.

"Don't worry, we'll come when we go!"

Li Yi hugged his fists at Tang Minghu and then slammed the horse's belly, and the war horse under his crotch immediately rushed out like a bolt of lightning.

And An Su, Qi Chao, Yu Zhenlei, Mi Yiren, and the ghost doctor also followed Li Yi and rushed in the direction where Houma Tieqi was.

The guards and soldiers of the city guards along the way saw a war horse rushing over, and they began to dodge one after another.

Soon they made way for Li Yi and the others to come out.
