He thrust out with the spear in his hand, knocking an enemy who was obviously a Black Jie general off his horse. Before Yan Liqiang could make any further moves, the crossbows in the hands of the guards around him trembled, and dozens of crossbow arrows flew out. Seven or eight Black Jie soldiers on the left and right of the Black Jie general were shot off their horses with screams.
At this point, Yan Liqiang had no choice but to stop because there was no enemy around him.
The remaining Black Jie people were fleeing in all directions like driven antelopes, screaming, terrified shouts, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, the neighing and falling of horses, mixed with the sound of bowstrings shaking and arrows breaking through the air, echoing on the grassland at the foot of Qiyun Mountain. The horse archers he brought with him had been divided into five groups, and the five horse archer battalions were like a big hand outstretched on the grassland, trapping the fleeing Black Jie cavalry.
Without waiting for the Black Jie cavalry to get close, the horse archers shot large numbers of arrows at the Black Jie cavalry from two hundred meters or one hundred meters away. The fleeing Black Jie cavalry fell down one after another like straw blown by the wind, and no one could even get within fifty meters of the horse archers.
There were also many Black Jie cavalrymen who turned into fine sand and slipped away through the fingers of the open hand, but what was waiting for them in front of them was a black wave rolling in from the horizon of the distant grassland - that was nearly 200,000 Han men, countless rangers, and countless militiamen gathered together and rushed towards here, like a surging wave. The sound of hundreds of thousands of rhinoceros horses trampling the earth made the water in the river tremble.
Behind those Black Jie cavalry, more than 20,000 northwestern green forest heroes led by Situ Feixing and others were waving their swords and spears, rushing towards them "hungrily and thirstily".
What is a dragnet? This is the scene before their eyes. For those Black Jie cavalry, it really fits the saying: there is no way to heaven and no door to earth. In all directions, there is a dragnet of heaven and earth, and in all directions, there are sounds of shouting and killing.
There were some desperate Black Jie cavalrymen who looked at the scene in front of them with bleak faces at this time. Some of them jumped off their horses directly, threw away their weapons, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed continuously, completely losing the will to resist. There were also a few who took the weapons in their hands and cut their own throats.
At this point in the battle, the entire situation had become completely clear.
Yan Liqiang had already dismounted from his rhino horse and handed the dragon-spine steel spear in his hand to Xiong Gungun. He smiled as he watched Situ Feixing and Fu Changde and a few others riding rhino horses and rushing towards him excitedly. When they were still more than ten feet away from him, Situ Feixing and the others jumped off their horses neatly and walked quickly to Yan Liqiang. Situ Feixing and Fu Changde walked in front, and the others followed behind them. They came to Yan Liqiang together, clasped their fists to Yan Liqiang, and saluted, "We are here to see the governor!"
As the saying goes, a person's name is like a tree's shadow, and Yan Liqiang's name is known throughout the world. The deeds and legends of Yan Liqiang have long been known to everyone in the northwest and other places, and many bizarre stories have been derived from them. Over the years, Huo Niangniang, Wu Daquan and others have heard so many stories that their ears are callused, but it is the first time for them to see Yan Liqiang in person. At this time, when several people saw Yan Liqiang, they were all shocked. Yan Liqiang's youth was naturally completely beyond their expectations. What made their hearts tremble even more was the frank and powerful aura revealed by Yan Liqiang, like a mountain. Just standing anywhere, people would have a feeling of looking up to a mountain, and completely suppressed the aura of several green forest leaders. And Yan Liqiang's eyes were not harsh when he looked at them, but very gentle, but in that gentleness, just a casual glance, Huo Niangniang and others had a feeling that they were completely seen through by Yan Liqiang.
"Hahaha, you're welcome!" Yan Liqiang glanced at the thick smoke still rising in the valley in the distance, "What's the situation in the valley? Are there still people fighting?"
"Reporting to my lord, the battle in the valley is almost over. Judging from the time, the battle in the west of Crescent Valley should also be over. These Black Jie people in front of us are the last group of people who escaped from the valley..." Situ Feixing said respectfully.
Even if Yan Liqiang did not participate in the last ambush in the valley, this ambush was arranged by Yan Liqiang from the very beginning. This was a real victory thousands of miles away. Whenever Situ Feixing thought of this, his awe of Yan Liqiang increased.
"How many Black Jie people escaped?"
"There are only 10,000. The rest have been left behind!"
"Hahaha, good, good, this time, we are going to hurt the Black Jie people!" Yan Liqiang laughed and turned his gaze to the people next to Situ Feixing, "Let me guess, this girl is as heroic as any man, she must be the head of Dadu Mountain!"
Lady Huo was actually not young anymore, and was a little reserved at first, but when she heard Yan Liqiang calling her "girl", she suddenly felt happy, "Lady Huo was a name given to me by my friends in the martial arts world. Qi Yuzhen greets you..."
"The one using the ghost-head machete should be the leader of Huoyun Village, Wu Da!"
"I dare not, I dare not, Wu Daquan greets the adults!" Wu Daquan felt proud to see Yan Liqiang call out his name.
"This should be the leader Long of the Thirty-Six Black Hawk Riders!"
"I didn't expect that you also knew Long Mou's bandit nickname. Long Mou is ashamed!" Long Ruhai looked at Yan Liqiang with a slightly complicated expression and sighed, "Sir, to be honest, Long and my brothers also ate military rations and served in the army in Yinzhou. I originally wanted to use my martial arts to serve the country, but later I offended a villain and was excluded in the army. I was almost framed and beheaded. I really had no way out, so I killed that villain and left the barracks. My brothers saw me leaving and followed me out. That's how the Thirty-Six Riders of the Black Hawk were formed. If we could be like today, killing enemies on the battlefield, chopping off people's heads, and exchanging merits for skills, who would be willing to carry their heads to do a business without capital? Anyway, it's all killing. Killing enemies on the battlefield is worth it, and there is no need to worry about being wanted by the government..."
"Well said, if everyone can find a job in an upright and honest way, how many people would do the bloody business!" Yan Liqiang also said with some emotion, "Back then, the traitors were rampant in the court, and the local areas were in chaos. There is no difference between generals and ministers, and there is no high or low loyalty. Since there can be traitors in the court, there will naturally be heroes among the grassroots. The purpose of the order to kill the Hu people that I issued is to summon heroes from all over the world to contribute to the country. What the big bosses did today is an act of great loyalty and righteousness, and should be a role model for the heroes of the world!"
