When the bells and drums rang in the early morning, the south gate of the main city of Dunhuang slowly opened, and some people gathered inside and outside the gate flocked in and out. Although Dunhuang City was built on the desolate yellow sand, because it is unique within a hundred miles, it has become a well-deserved city of living water. In addition, there are many merchants and merchants, and the city comes and goes frequently. There are no less than five or six thousand people coming and going in a day. In addition, there is a Buddhist holy place outside the city, Caiji Buddhist Cave. The grand scene happened today coincided with the last fifteenth day of the late spring season. As usual, the main road of the South Gate would have been densely packed, but today it was surprisingly few. There were only a few hundred devout pilgrims, and none of them were family members. On both sides of the street, there are vendors who get up early because of the benefits, selling scallion cakes, snacks, and some cheap fragrant yellow paper.
There is a shop opened on the side of the street. He is a middle-aged man who is notoriously bad at management. He originally sold some burning incense objects and kept a lot of money in the area where his shop is located, but he only sells wine, which is expensive. Make a few pots of clear porridge and sell them to business travelers. At this time, there is only one regular customer in the small shop, or the familiar face who is too familiar to accept copper coins. Somewhat refined and scholarly, everyone in Dunhuang knew that such a person could write well, and there were many well-known poems and prose lines. At that time, a woman with a common surname in Dunhuang, surnamed Yuwen, was blind and ran away from marriage. Eloped with her, the most wealthy Yuwen family in Dunhuang City was also generous and did not pursue it. The beautiful woman who was so stubborn really married this down-and-out scholar from outside. Secretly gave a lot of dowry, I never thought that this man is quite unable to support, talented, but not enough to make achievements, and he is too high to be inferior, so a big restaurant opened into a wine shop, and finally turned into a small wine shop, the woman was discouraged Feeling cold, finally made the onlookers feel happy to leave him, and remarried to the well-matched Duanmu family. The husband and wife played harmoniously, and they were all happy. The Duanmu son who was sitting on the beauties even came to the wine shop to drink without bringing any servants and maids. , Wen Wenya, full of scholarly style, it is said that he only said a few polite words, saying that he had heard the poems of the man in the wine shop before, and he admired him very much. Later, the woman would burn incense and go in and out of Dunhuang City occasionally, and she would always ride in a splendid carriage with four golden steeds. No one ever saw her lift the curtain to look at the down-and-out man who was an old love. It must have really broken my heart. .
The man who came here to grab a meal stepped on the chair, finished a bowl of porridge, and handed out the bowl again, saying that the mouth of the eater is soft, but this guy taught him carelessly: "Xu Pu, I didn't say you, If you sold incense here, you would have already earned a lot of money. Hey, when I go to burn incense and worship Buddha, I can make a lot of money. The Bodhisattva sees my sincerity and keeps my wishes come true. Is it good to support and support you?"
The middle-aged man with a calm expression took the big white bowl, filled another bowl of rice porridge for this few friends, shook his head and said, "Three sticks of incense are enough, respecting the Buddha, the Dharma and the monks, there are not many incense sticks."
The slovenly man who took the white bowl glared and said: "As long as you are too rigid, your mother-in-law was angered by you. You said that there is someone who doesn't want the rouge, gouache, delicacies, but is willing to suffer with you Silly woman, you don't know how to cherish, don't know how to make progress, you deserve to be stabbed in the back by people watching jokes!"
The man sat at the door with a bench, looked at the slightly deserted street, and frowned. The strong man behind him still chattered to himself, "If my father hadn't been so kind to you for saving his life with a prescription, he wouldn't have been willing to be looked down upon with you. You said that since you know some medical skills, you would be a half-baked under the guise of hanging a pot to help the world." Doctors are also good, there is a shortage of doctors in Dunhuang City, and there are many people who are willing to be deceived, as long as you don't heal the dead. Hey, what about you, Xu Pu, you should make a few huh huh. Well, with you boring gourd I have nothing to say, let’s go, and those wild ducks I hunted, I can figure it out.”
Wine and meat friends all pay attention to a person who does not expose his scars and does not slap his face. It is more icing on the cake than giving charcoal in the snow. It can be seen that this person is either heartless, or he really regards the poor wine shop owner as a friend. The middle-aged man suddenly asked: "So few go out of town to burn incense today?"
Orion, who was about to get up, rolled his eyes and said: "It is said that you scholars like to keep your ears shut and only read the books of sages, but you are good. You don't read books, and you don't listen to outside things. There is restlessness over there. After the battle between the old city lord and the big devil Luoyang, he passed away and ascended to immortality. This is a fact that all three-year-old children know. The five hundred Jinwu guards in the family's hands are about to enter the city, go straight to the Zijin Palace, and drag the little girl off the dragon chair. I think this is likely to happen, and a 20-year-old My little girl is the lord of Dunhuang, and it would be embarrassing to say it."
The man asked: "Aren't there five hundred Jinwu Guard cavalry stationed inside and outside the palace?"
Orion was not willing to answer such naive questions, and couldn't hold back his words, so he said: "You think those Mao family and Duanmu Yuwen families are all wood, and you know with your ass that these guys must spend money to send money to the officials. Woman, there must be many guys in the five hundred cavalry who have long since given up their minds in the palace, plus the five hundred cavalry outside rushed into the city in one go, even ordinary people like me know that it is impossible to stop them, but these It's all a big man's trick. If you die, you will die. Those who are born rich have nothing to do with us. Just stay away and watch the excitement. The weather has changed. We should eat and drink whatever we want. You wait Just wait and see, Jin Wuwei will definitely rush into the city soon."
The middle-aged man fell into deep thought and was about to close the shop. Orion stepped out of the threshold with a look of relief on his face: "Xu Pu, you finally have some brains this time, and you know that you can close the door to watch the fun."
The man smiled, but didn't make a sound, and waited until Orion was far away, then said softly: "Join the fun."
He saw that Orion was running back in embarrassment with many pilgrims not long before he closed the last door. Orion was out of breath and hurriedly said: "Why haven't you hid yet? Hurry up, come in, lend me the door." Hide and hide, there is a young man whose head was kicked by a donkey, blocking the gate of the city, as if he is going to fight head-to-head with five hundred cavalry, he is crazy!"
The man asked, "How many people?"
Orion scolded: "The young man is looking for death! Just one!"
The man who had already stepped forward thought for a while, and asked, "Use a knife or a sword?"
Orion slipped into the wine shop with oil on his feet, and said angrily: "What the hell is this bird doing? Just now I heard someone say that he is a scholar who memorizes a bookcase, but he also uses a sword. I reckon it is just an embroidered pillow that knows how to read. Stupid reading! Xu Pu, why don't you get out of here?"
Some pilgrims whose legs were slower than Orion lived far away from the city gate. Seeing that the wine shop was not closed tightly, they all came to hide. The bolder ones asked the wine shop owner not to close the door, and were immediately scolded by the timid ones. Afraid of being affected by Chi Yu, he settled accounts for several big families in power.
Three hundred steps outside the city, after the leading Mao woman stopped, the five hundred Jinwu Guards stopped suddenly.
A heroic woman in her thirties wore silver armor and held a white spear, and rode a black charcoal dragon horse. The Mao family was powerful and deeply rooted. The main reason is that the Mao family has always firmly controlled the five hundred elite cavalry. The Mao family's children have always been martial and brave, but the leader of this generation is a woman named Mao Rou, who came out of Dunhuang City. Three strange women, the first is of course the city lord known as the "two kings", the other is the infatuated woman of the Yuwen family who doesn't love wealth and poetry and books, married a chicken with the chicken to a man who sells wine, and then It was Mao Rou who commanded five hundred cavalry by force. The Jinwu guards in the city were light cavalry. In recent years, the five hundred cavalry outside the city had been replaced with heavy armored cavalry. Immortal Palace is enough to crush five hundred light cavalry in the city.
Mao Rou has always looked down on that domineering little girl, because of her relationship with the city lord, isn't it just that her breasts are bigger, her waist is thinner, her butt is rounder? Can it be eaten as a meal? She has already negotiated with some of her family friends, and when things are done, this poor little vixen will be handed over to them to play with in turn, even if she is a brother-in-law, Mao Rou will only laugh heartily if she ruins her soft body, wishing she could be with her Watching from the side of the bed to her heart's content, she personally took a knife to cut off the pair of breasts that had been an eyesore for many years, which made her feel comfortable. After Mao Rou stopped her horse, she stared at the young scholar who was guarding the gate of the city. She looked like a dog, and it was her good mouth. Unfortunately, she was not allowed to be greedy when something big happened. A strong cavalry general ordered: "Go and slaughter! Just use it as a sacrificial flag."
Behind Mao Rou, the Jinwu Cavalry Captain charged with a gun with a grinning grin.
Iron cavalry Iron cavalry means heavy horses and heavy armor, tearing apart all defenses with great sprinting force. Lieutenant Jin Wu likes the thrill of running around, it's the same feeling as bullying those yellow-flowered girls on the bed. The master Mao Rou is a girl who convinces all the heavy cavalry under her skirt. She is passionate about leading troops and killing people. The biggest wish of the cavalry captain in his life is to one day be able to climb on her body and sprint. The whole city of Dunhuang praised the disciples: The soldiers brought out by my aunt, with a gun in their crotch and a gun in their hand, are a hundred times stronger than the five hundred soft-hearted Jinwu guards in the city! Lieutenant Jin Wu adjusted his breathing with the ups and downs of the horse, and gripped the iron gun tightly. He didn't blindly underestimate the enemy, that guy dared to stop him at the gate of the city to die alone, it was a bit of a weight.
After all, Dunhuang City is a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, and great achievements are waiting for me to earn, so I can't capsize in the gutter.
Xu Fengnian took off the bookcase and put it by his feet.
He didn't take off the Spring and Autumn Sword, facing the iron cavalry, he made great strides forward instead of retreating.
Mao Rou and the five hundred riders were a little surprised, and some of the iron riders laughed after being surprised. Do you know how much strength you need to stop a heavy cavalry in a sprinting state? What's more, this Jinwu cavalry captain is not a scarecrow, he has excellent marksmanship, and he is an absolute master in the top five in combat power among the Jinwu guards!
When Captain Jin Wu was fifty steps away from the scholar, his energy and spirit had almost reached the peak, and ten steps after the blink of an eye, he raised his spear ferociously and stabbed him.
Xu Fengnian turned his head sideways, bent his arms to hold the iron gun, and slammed his palm on the neck of the tall horse that was trampling on him. Both the man and the horse were pushed back five or six feet away, and the horse died on the spot.
The iron spear circled his body, and Xu Fengnian's body continued to move forward. During this period, he passed the heavy cavalry captain who was struggling in pain, and shot out, pierced his head, and nailed him to the ground.
Mao Rou frowned, raised her hand, and drew a half-arc. The cavalry lined up in six layers, and the layers spread out quickly like a fan.
The rest were accompanied by eighty crossbowmen in front.
Skilled in battle formation, under the command of Mao Rou, he is like an arm in command.
Whether it's individual combat or gathering to hedge, it is by no means comparable to the five hundred Jinwu Guards who deliberately arranged in the city to gradually thin out their bows and horses.
At a hundred and twenty paces, Mao Rou said coldly, "Shoot."
Arrows rained down.
Xu Fengnian's figure rolled over, the iron spear swung in a circle, splashing water did not enter, blocked a group of arrows, and threw the spear out.
Although it was only a Thunder Spear that looked like Duan Bor Huihui, it was as powerful as a thunderbolt.
Before the battle, Mao Rou's expression changed drastically, she leaned back against the horse's back, and with a single shot, the two cavalrymen behind them pierced through both their armor and fell off the horse.
Mao Rou no longer expected the crossbowmen to stop her, and rushed forward first.
Although three people were killed in battle, the six-story fan-shaped cavalry formation was not chaotic at all, which shows that the Mao family's army is strictly controlled.
Iron hoof bursts.
Xu Fengnian squinted at the female general Yingwei, twitched the corners of his mouth, slightly turned his trajectory, and rushed straight away.
Mao Rou was not in a hurry to take out the spear, when she saw the young swordsman approaching and easily dodged the two iron spears, she took the opportunity to fill in the gap and pierced him directly in the heart.
The tip of the spear seems to stab straight, simple and unremarkable, but in fact it trembles instantly, with unparalleled sharpness. This is the Mao family's famous method of dropping the spear. In countless battles, enemies who don't know the details have knocked down the weapon.
"dismount!"
With a flick of Xu Fengnian's left hand, he swung the spear away, took a few steps forward, turned over, and Mao Rou, who had let go of the iron spear, sat opposite her like a lover, and just as she was about to smash the woman's heart with one palm, she drew the knife and struck Come, Xu Fengnian clamped his fingers together, and there was a violent vibration from the pads of his fingers, rubbing a trace of blood, Mao Rou took the opportunity to drop the knife, slapped the horse's back with one hand, flew sideways, caught the iron spear, knocked a cavalry into the air, and changed horses And go, wander into the battle formation, no longer give Xu Fengnian a chance to catch up with each other. A dozen spears stabbed at him, Xu Fengnian sank, crushing the charcoal dragon horse's back, neighing in pain, the horse landed on the ground, Xu Fengnian pushed the horse away with one hand, knocked the other away with one shoulder, and snatched the spear just right The spear didn't freeze in the slightest.
Mao Rou, who was turning the horse's head fifty steps away, had a gloomy expression and shouted angrily, "Fix the formation."
Xu Fengnian swept back, knocking the sneak attacking rider away, stepped on the ground with his toes, retreated gracefully, and withdrew from the encirclement that was about to form.
He let out a long breath and drew out the Spring and Autumn Sword.
Holding the sword in the right hand, the tip of the sword is pointing at Wubaiqi, and the fingers of the left hand are raised together.
Kai Shu.
Mao Rou was furious, and ordered dully: "Kill!"
In her eyes, each person has a sword.
There are five hundred horses in front of him, and the city gate behind him.
Xu Fengnian is as immobile as a mountain.
Even if Luoyang, the number one person in the magic way, comes, Dunhuang City is only one person against one person.
Before Xu Fengnian practiced martial arts, he still had many beautiful fantasies about the Jianghu, but after practicing martial arts madly, he never wanted to be a hero, but since his own woman was behind him, let alone five hundred horses, he would also stand right here.
I guard the gates before I die.
Teach you not to enter one step at a time!
