There are peregrine falcons flying over the heads of the master and servant constantly, Yue Zhang is just a reckless man, not familiar with marching formations, not quite sure what these seven or eight falcons are swimming and circling, but he clearly feels a kind of black cloud pressure The cold breath of the city. Le Zhang squatted down and put one hand on the ground of the post road. He wanted to report the enemy's situation to Mr. Folding Fan, but two hundred riders rushed over, but Yue Zhang quickly remembered that the young master's realm was much higher than him, and Zhi Xuan had another Divination was mysterious, so he didn't bother to put his hot face on his cold butt.
Yue Zhang picked up a snowball and weighed it, thinking whether to kill an unsightly peregrine falcon. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a scout scout who was particularly daring. The other dozen or so scouts in all directions stopped far away. The scout didn't know what to do, and tried to take a closer look. Yue Zhang stood up with a grinning grin, and swung his arms, thinking about the orders of the unskilled soldiers. The blood fog caused the horse to fall instantly, and the scout rolled to the ground. Instead of running away in a panic, he quickly took off the short crossbow, and after running a dozen steps towards the man who killed the horse, he finally remembered the military order and felt bitter. Turning around and retreating, on the way to the place where his beloved war horse died in battle, the young scout, his eyes red, took off the nanmu horse tag tied around the horse's neck, put it in his arms, and galloped away.
Mr. Folding Fan ignored Le Zhang's small fight, and looked along the ridge, looking at a not-so-high mountain in the distance. According to his original idea, he would encounter a cavalry army stationed in Zhegui County to intercept him in Zhegui County. , ranging from three to four hundred, and as many as six or seven hundred, let Le Zhang's hot hands crush the courage of this Beiliang cavalry army. Then there, he will personally fight a fierce battle with Tongmen's elite cavalry, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will become famous in one fell swoop and move the world. He didn't bother to reveal the life-saving talisman on his body unless it was a last resort. Of course, he wasn't so conceited that he thought he could beat the six thousand riders at Tongmenguan by himself. Most likely he was just fighting and retreating. If he doesn't retreat, he will be the end of the Sword Emperor of Xishu. The Wu family broke ten thousand horses with nine swords, and Li Chungang killed 2,600 horses with one sword a few years ago on the Guangling River. The ending was not much better.
When the young master who was riding alone raised his head to look at the mountain peak, someone was also looking up into the distance. Besides Pei Nanwei, Xu Yanbing and Han Laoshan, two Lingzhou lieutenants beside Xu Fengnian, there were also two school captains of Tongmenguan, Wei Daqing and Xin Yinma, who came to join in the fun, and Pearl school captains Huang Xiaokuai and Wei Xin. Unlike Huang Xiaokuai, General did not bring a single soldier with him when he left the customs. Pearl's six hundred light cavalry were all on standby at the foot of the mountain. As the general of Lingzhou, he issued an order to let the soldiers and horses of several counties including Dongfeng Zhegui leave their respective lairs. As for the mobilization of soldiers and soldiers in several counties, it was nominally written by Xu Beizhi, the new governor of Lingzhou. With the mountain peak as the center, the post roads with a radius of 30 li have been sealed tightly, and merchants have to make detours. Nearly a hundred scouts were scattered all over the place, regardless of whether they were vertical or horizontal, they all tried their best to have a scout every three miles. Ma Jinchai's frozen wild cavalry army was divided into three parts, and gradually formed into formations, with two hundred cavalry leading the way to spy on the truth. In addition, Ren Chunyun, Captain of Beiguo from Dongfeng County who brought 400 soldiers and horses, stood by in the southwest. Zhu Boyu, Captain of Fengqiu, led 500 cavalry in the northwest, watching fiercely. the gap between them.
The ranks of Captain Beiliang are very messy, and the number of soldiers in charge is also very different. For example, Wei Shaqing and Xin Yinma in Tongmenguan each lead 3,000 people, but their rank is still lower than that of Pearl Captain Huang Xiaokuai, who is also a fourth-rank captain. At the first level, Lieutenant Dongye Ma Jinchai Beiguo Lieutenant Ren Chunyun and Fengqiu Lieutenant Zhu Boyu were of the same level as Wei Xin, but the soldiers under his command were not as good as a Lieutenant from Tongmenguan. The military officers in Beiliang are powerful and suppressed to the point where the civilian officials can't lift their heads, but there are also many factions and mountains. In addition to the long-standing disputes in the border areas, there are also disputes in the local counties and counties, and the counties and counties are really short of officials The dispute is complicated. Being caught in it is like falling into a spider web, a slight movement will move the whole body, causing a shock and rebound. When Xu Fengnian started to clean up the officialdom in Lingzhou, the reason why he was not favored was the root cause of this.
Han Laoshan raised a jujube spear named "Xiaomanjian", and said with a soft smile: "This person must not have thought that His Highness would be so courageous, and he directly mobilized four school captains for nearly 3,000 cavalry. The county will let him fall into the sand, and will not give him the chance to go to Tongmen Pass, let alone enter Lingzhou Zhoucheng to steal his reputation."
Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "If he can use the means of Jianghu people to take the head of a general among thousands of troops, do you think the imperial court will reward him with a great general?"
Tongmenguan Wei Shaqing sneered and said: "With this boy's ability, he can't even go up the mountain. I heard that this guy has a thin skin and tender flesh, and has a good skin like a handsome woman. Brother Xin, you have mixed tastes, wait for Your Highness Wuhuada tied that person up, you might as well ask His Highness to take him back to Tongmenguan as a side room."
Tongmenguan school captain Xin Yinma, who looks more feminine, was ridiculed by Lao Wei Yitong, and he didn't refute, and said in a low voice: "The humble official has this idea, but how dare he make his own decisions and ruin His Highness's plan. Lao Wei, since you have aroused the idea of drinking horses, why don't you give me that juicy young son so that we can get married, and I will call you old man in the future, even if you are a generation lower .”
Wei Daqing, who was sent to the first army, was so angry that he kicked Captain Xin on the belly of Xiaowei's horse and cursed. He and Xin Yinma came from different hills in the Beiliang Army. Wei Daqing was a close minister of the general who was rooted in Zheng Miaohong, while Xin Yinma was in various armies. Later, he got involved with Yan Wenluan, the commander of the infantry. Now Xin Yinma can barely be regarded as a half member of the Yan family, but he and Wei Daqing got along well in Tongmen Pass these years, and naturally they were intriguing inside the pass. They really wanted to support him. The 3,000 junior soldiers under their respective banners who are waiting for food, officials, silver and ordnance can't tolerate them being high-spirited, but they have always maintained the same externally. Xiaowei Xin is well known for his masculinity, but he takes the matter of accumulating money and wealth very lightly. If the former captain pays tribute to Xin Yinma, he would spend a lot of money to buy a well-trained young man with red lips and white teeth from Jiangnan and send them to Xin's residence. It all works. Fortunately, the king of Beiliang was never that mean and unkind master, and he never brought up these harmless dirt on Beiliang's military and politics. Xin Yinma glanced at the young man who had retired as General of Lingzhou, and after hearing what he said to Wei Shaqing, he turned a deaf ear to it, with a smile on his face, looked down the post road down the mountain, and slowly spit out the words "it's the beginning".
Xin Yinma concentrated his attention, straightened his waist and looked away. The two hundred riders of Ma Jinchai had already rushed towards the two masters and servants. The three legs of the general seed soldier are weak. It is said that this time around the back to intercept the retreat, it should have been the military affairs of Captain Fengqiu Zhu Boyu. The master and servant kept a distance and advanced one by one, but launched a charge without authorization. Obviously, they believed that the pair of rebellious rivers and lakes were easy to bully. Huang Xiaokuai, who was isolated in Lingzhou, and Ma Jinchai, who had a relationship with the relatives of the commander of Yan University, would not care.
The young master shook his fan, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and heard the sound of scattered horseshoes behind him. How can there be any rumors of the thunderous momentum of Beiliang Baiqi? He has already experienced General Gu Jiantang on the border east of Jizhou. The skill of running the army has been chased and killed by six hundred riders of the Gu family for a long distance on the vast plain. That is the real gold and iron horse. It's a big joke, such two thousand riders can be swept away by the Gu family's six hundred riders. Without the master's eye signal, Le Zhang turned around to face the two hundred embroidered pillows, took a deep breath, rubbed the cold and iron-like frozen soil of the post road with his toes, and stepped out of a hole in an instant, his figure floated out, his short crossbow sprinkled The next wave of innocuous black rain fell on the eyes of the layman, and it seemed a little ridiculous. It looked menacing, but in fact it was six or seven feet away from the movement. There are more than a dozen riders in bright armor escorting them, among them is a petite squire with charming features, wearing a gorgeous light armor, she is clearly a curvaceous woman, I dare say that our Captain Ma not only wants to take credit, but also to be a pet In front of Nimei Jiaoniang, he showed off his military skills. But soon Ma Jinchai knew something was wrong. The first wave of the short crossbow did not make any achievements. Guaranteed to charge with all his strength, the Jianghu man ran faster than a galloping horse, and the second wave of short crossbows splashed ink on his head, which could not be called a failure, but the man didn't even bother to reach out his hand to block the crossbow arrows, and let the beating hit him as if The reed pole slapped the iron stone, some broke, some slipped, and the cavalry were not given a chance to continue "playing". They had already met the leading three cavalry, and the three cavalry were shocked, and immediately discarded the crossbow. Raising the gun, the movement is like a jackal entering the flock of sheep, breaking into the wide gap between two galloping horses, jumping high, flattening the body, hitting the horse with one punch, kicking the horse, and the outermost horse on the left was also hit by the fish in the pond. The two horses piled up and fell out of the post road. The horse on the right was thrown five or six feet away with a punch from the man, and it hit the ground with a bang, and the snow flakes flew like catkins.
Afterwards, the three riders side by side were obviously very timid, and wanted to avoid the unstoppable sharpness of this man, but they had no time to dodge. One of them was quite skilled in equestrianism. Reckless man, Captain Ma has already said that whoever can kill a bandit will be rewarded with six hundred taels of silver and be promoted to three ranks! Le Zhang jumped lightly, raised an elbow and smashed down on the horse's head. A tall horse that was galloping forward was knocked down by an elbow. Le Zhang's chest, but before he could be surprised, he found a piercing pain from the tiger's mouth holding the gun, and the spear was released from his hand. Le Zhang took the spear in one hand, grabbed the cavalry's collar with the other, and threw it high like catching a chicken. Then he lifted the gun with his left hand shaking his wrist, and walked backwards, catching up with the two cavalry who had just passed by by chance, and then placed the long spear horizontally, blocking the way, and the two cavalry collided with the gun, and they were unexpectedly unable to move forward. Alright, a few rows of cavalry in the back embraced the horses, the guns squeezed the guns, and the previous charge fell into disarray in an instant.
Le Zhang poured his inner strength into the spear, laughed and stepped forward, and a dozen or so riders in front of him were clustered together, turning their backs on their backs. Regardless of these weak ants, Le Zhang changed his two-handed gun into a single-handed gun. Several clever cavalry pawns threw a gun on their horses, and one of the spears pierced Le Zhang's forehead. The cat and dog man bumped his head forward, directly smashing the spear into pieces, grabbed a spear in his hand and swept it upwards, sweeping the waist of the cavalry pawn, bent and flew out sideways, rolling on the snow. Make a slightly "playful" big snowball. Le Zhang leaped forward, no matter what marksmanship or spear technique, just using the spear in his hand as a stick, swung down, pulled a war horse from the back to the horse's feet, split the corpse in half, the cavalry sat on the fallen half On the corpse of the war horse, his eyes were dull.
Ma Jinchai swallowed her saliva, forced herself to be calm, and did not look at her pale concubine, and said to herself: "The thief is fierce, we can retreat slowly, and then kill him and return to the carbine!"
Then Captain Dongye Ma Jinchai turned his horse's head around and ran away in a hurry.
On the top of the mountain, Xu Fengnian turned his head and smiled at Wei Shaqing and Xin Yinma: "It seems that Captain Ma has ushered in a good start to the New Year."
Then he looked at Colonel Pearl with a sneer on his face, and said in a flat tone: "Huang Xiaokuai, why does Ma Jinchai want to compete with you for military merit? It's obviously well-intentioned, showing the enemy a weakness, and wanting to lure the enemy to go deep."
The corners of Huang Xiaokuai's mouth curled up, and he said softly: "Huang Xiaokuai accepts Lieutenant Ma's favor. Your Highness?"
Xu Fengnian nodded.
Huang Xiaokuai rode down the mountain alone.
The 300 cavalry at the foot of the mountain did not move, and the remaining 300 cavalry formed the left and right armies, and charged towards the young master who was slowly shaking the peach blossom fan.
Le Zhang looked back, sneered, and stopped chasing the defeated frozen field cavalry. When he charged at him, he was as impatient as a hungry man seeing a woman. hand, crying father and mother to go home. Le Zhang threw away the spear with red tassels soaked in the blood of the horse in his hand, and planned to go to experience the capabilities of the next cavalry army in Northern Liangling Prefecture.
In the eyes of this King Kong master, all the bullshit Beiliang cavalry are made of tofu.
Yue Zhang spit thick phlegm on the ground with a bah.
With such a shrimp soldier and crab general, he can play like a king of Beiliang.
On the top of the mountain, Xu Fengnian, who had been watching coldly, put his hands in his sleeves, and twirled his fingers inside the sleeves, as if he was peeling cocoons.
