When Su Mu was trapped in the valley and said goodbye to the rivers and lakes, exciting news came from Jiangbei.

After the dock lord Zeng Jiannu unified the Yanzhou beggar army, he defeated the notorious Shi Evil of the Qiang tribe who was able to fight well in the first battle.

Only 100 cavalry escaped.

Zeng Jiannu's success also has the credit of Su Musha, to be exact, the credit of the sword of the Son of Heaven of Xishu.

Shi Xie coveted the sword of the Son of Heaven, waved his troops to Yanzhou, attacked Zeng Jiannu, and wanted to seize the sword of the Son of Heaven.

Zeng Jiannutun gathered fort docks, borrowed deep ditches and high walls, and defended himself according to danger.

The stone evil called out for three days and three nights outside the dock fort, and Zeng Jiannu resolutely couldn't shrink out, which greatly frustrated the stone evil's spirit.

When the stone evil was impetuous because he could not attack for a long time, Zeng Thorn minions set up a formation to meet the enemy, and were defeated in the battle, leading the stone evil to chase him into the narrow valley that had been ambushed in advance.

The stone evil can fight well, although the heart is wrong when pursuing, but the temptation of the sword of the Son of Heaven is greater, so that it falls into an ambush and returns defeated.

Zeng Jiannu's great victory not only boosted the morale of the beggar army, but also obtained nearly 1,000 healthy horses.

In time, it is enough to compete with the iron cavalry of the Hu people galloping in Jiangbei.

Yanzhou, plains.

Lianshan rode a horse and stood on the hills, and the endless plains spread out at his feet.

In the former Qin period, this place was originally a field.

He still remembers the busy scene on the fields in spring and summer, and also remembers the golden wheat waves surging with the wind in autumn.

Now those are gone. Under the warm sunshine, the former village is only ruined, with no smoke and no people.

The fields cultivated by few people were barren and overgrown with weeds, and one by one, they were woven into a yellow-green blanket.

The dense woods are dotted on the left side of the blanket, and the verdant leaves shimmer in the sunlight when the wind blows.

As far as his eye could see, smoke rose from the woods through which the river passed.

The forest grew along the riverbank, looking like a green ribbon on the hills. The forest is long and narrow, long enough to hide hundreds of iron horsemen.

He was followed by forty or fifty horsemen, and the soldiers on the horses were dressed in white robes, which had turned gray after being covered with dust, and their robes were stained with blood, both their own and those of the enemy.

The weapons in their hands are different, but looking at the solemnity on their faces and the murderous aura in their eyes, it can be seen that they are not good people.

Lian Shan stretched out his hand and pointed to the woods, and then pointed to the north of the woods, and motioned to his subordinates to lead a team of people to quietly outflank the past.

After their figures turned into small black dots in their field of vision, Lian Shan took the lead and led the rest of the soldiers from the south to surround them.

The white-robed iron rider behind him rushed towards the woods where the smoke rose like a torrent after the gate had been opened.

The horse's hooves beat on the grass like a drum, and the "dong dong" knocked in the heart of Lianshan.

He joined the beggar army five days ago.

At that time, Shi Xie led 3,000 cavalry to attack Zeng Jiannu and camped outside the dock fort.

In order to avenge his family, he broke into the camp at night, and when he was about to succeed, he was stopped by a slave with a four-character gold seal tattooed on his face, unkempt hair, and untidy clothes.

The slave's martial arts were very high, and even the mountains were only as good as him. 、

After the camp, Lianshan had no chance of assassination, and finally tried his best to escape with the help of Chidian.

Chidian is the horse under him, he raised it since he was a child, and they have long been in touch, sometimes with a gesture, it knows its own mind.

As the name suggests, the Chidian Horse runs so fast that even the fastest horses of the Hu people can't catch up with it.

Murong Wuji's palace military captain had wanted to get him, and Shi Xie killed his whole family because of Chidian. At that time, he rode Chidian out hunting, and only escaped by luck.

The barracks assassination was the closest he had ever come to the stone demon.

After the assassination failed, Lian Shan understood that it was difficult to assassinate Shi Xie single-handedly, so he turned his head and joined the beggar army with the head of a Qian soldier.

The name of Lianshan has already resounded in Jiangbei, he continues to attack the Hu tribe, he will leave when he succeeds, his whereabouts are uncertain, and there are countless souls under his palm, which can be called a nightmare for the Hu tribe, Zeng Jiannu naturally trusted him.

Born in Jizhou, Lian Shan is the best hunter in the region, and even the most cunning foxes and wolves cannot escape the palm of his hand.

After joining the beggar army, he quickly applied the experience of hunter hunting to the art of war.

Zeng Thorn Nu lured, set up an ambush, and defeated the idea of the stone evil came from his hands.

After the defeat of the stone evil, Zeng Jiannu affirmed Lianshan's talent, because of his superb riding skills, promoted him to the leader of this white-robed cavalry, and fulfilled his promise to chase and kill the stone evil who fled in embarrassment.

Hu people and horses are fast, superb riding skills, running day and night is not a problem, although Lianshan is not inferior to them, the white-robed cavalry under his command is not good, it is to rush for two days and two nights, and they only catch up after Shi Xie relaxed his vigilance.

The woods got closer and closer, and there was an occasional flash of silver light between the trees, which was the scimitar on the waist of the Qiang people.

Lian Shan pursed his lips, and couldn't wait to slash the enemy Shi Xie.

He touched the forehead of the red horse under his crotch, Chidian immediately knew his intentions, and then ignored the cavalry behind him, and accelerated without relenting his strength, like a lightning bolt.

The soldiers had been in battle for a long time, and when the white-robed cavalry rushed down the hills, they had heard the sound of horses' hooves.

However, they ignored the speed of the red lightning, and by the time they had finished tidying up and mounted their horses in the woods and headed north, Lianshan had rushed into the woods single-handedly.

The woods are tall broad-leaved forests, and the leaves of the last autumn have not yet rotted, and the horse's hooves rustle as they step on.

There was enough space between the trees to run horses, but from time to time there were branches that blocked the way.

Lianshan and the cavalry of the Qiang tribe are separated by the river, between the white bark, the figures are one after another, and the sound of horses' hooves is close to the ears.

Running until the water is shallow, even the mountain lifts the reins, and Chidian immediately crosses the river with a splash and runs towards the sound of horses' hooves.

The woods are fading, and the figures are appearing.

After seeing Lianshan, the soldiers of the Qian tribe immediately bent their bows and arrows and shot them at the trunk of the tree in front of Lianshan.

In the rapid running of the woods, it is still so accurate, and the archery skills of the Qian people can be seen.

As a strong man of Yan Zhao, even the mountain archery skills are not inferior, when the soldiers of the Qian tribe bent their bows and arrows, he pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind him, followed by the enemy, and an arrow pierced the throat.

That's all, Lianshan no longer had a chance to shoot arrows, and more soldiers of the Qiang tribe saw him, and they bent their bows and arrows one after another, "whoosh", and arrows rained down on him.

Chidian was full of spirituality, and when he saw that the opportunity was wrong, he didn't wait for Lianshan's command, spread his hooves and ran wildly, leaving the arrow behind him and throwing it to the trunk.

They walked side by side across the woods, and the rain of arrows of the soldiers of the Qiang tribe chased after Lianshan until a tree trunk came out in front of Lianshan Horse, and only Chidian was allowed to pass with his head bowed.

The soldiers of the Qiang tribe thought that Lianshan was bound to slow down, and felt that the opportunity had come, so they set up arrows and prepared to shoot Lianshan into a hedgehog.

"Collapse", when they reached the trunk of the tree, their bows and arrows burst out in unison.

Toto!Toto!,

To their surprise, the rain of arrows fell into the air again.

Chidian didn't slow down, leaned over and bowed his head through the trunk of the tree, and Lianshan jumped up, and a man and a horse came to pass by, and then landed steadily on Chidian.

Protected by a slave with a four-character gold seal, the stone demon ran in front of the group, and under the pursuit of the red lightning, the mountain was getting closer and closer to them.

The trees between the two pedestrians are thinning.

When another round of arrows came from the shower of arrows, Chidian suddenly turned around and rushed towards the Qiang soldiers, and Lianshan jumped up and attacked the nearest Qiang cavalry.

Naturally, the pre-aimed bow and arrow missed again.
