Royal Road - Chapter 176

[Chapter 175 | City]

“Hold the battle! It’s close! Don’t mess up! They won’t be able to attack!” In the formed square, the bandit soldier shouted loudly.

They have been entrenched in the mountains and forests of Kuyang County for more than two years, and they have gathered more than 3,000 horses.

With the local Qiang people, Xiongnu and Di people as the backbone, there are also many refugees, and their combat power is not weak.

Taking advantage of the Hun rebellion, they looted the county seat, looted grain and robbed people, and it was very powerful.

However, no matter how noisy it is, it is also within the territory of Leping Kingdom. Now, how come a bunch of Shangdang officers and soldiers have emerged to encircle and suppress them?

!

What’s more terrible is that these Shangdang soldiers are terrible!

The coaches in the team kept shouting and shouting, wanting the team to be more stable.

There are mostly cavalry in front of them, and it is inconvenient to perform in a boundary with many mountains and forests like Jinyang.

As long as they stabilized their formation, those precious cavalry would not dare to charge hard.

However, the elite cavalry team in front did not appear to be rushing hard.

Instead, they drew their bows and arrows, galloping to the front of the formation like a hunter, shooting arrows.

Where did the mountain bandits get their armor, just riding and shooting can make them mess up.

If this stalemate continues, before the formation is broken, everyone will be shot dead!

Do you want to keep defending, or just run away?

The little handsome gritted his teeth: “Hold up! Raise your shield! They dare not rush in! Reinforcements are coming soon!”

Who doesn’t have cavalry?

Their cavalry is also a ruthless character in the mountains and forests.

If they come, these officers and soldiers who will be able to kill will be crap!

But he thought so, but his subordinate Erlang didn’t have that much courage and tenacity.

When the elite cavalry in front of them turned again and rushed towards them, armed with crude swords and spears, the trembling bandits finally couldn’t restrain themselves and retreated.

This retreat is like a crack in the middle of the iron plate, and the cavalrymen who are holding bows and seem to be leisurely have a fierce light in their eyes.

When it was less than a hundred paces away from the camp, the horse rushed over.

Without staying power, without stagnation, it went straight to the army formation!

The confrontation between the two armies, especially the battle of foot and cavalry, relies on blood courage.

If the infantry is tough and can stand firm and not retreat, not many cavalry will be willing to use the horse to charge.

But once the army’s heart is shaken and it shows fatigue, the wolf-like cavalry will immediately swarm up, tear open the gap, and tear the army to pieces!

How can these bandit soldiers who have not undergone formal military training understand that just one step back will determine the outcome of life and death!

The wolf-like fine cavalry rushed into the team, the sword light flickered, and the flesh and blood flew.

That little handsome couldn’t stop his subordinates from fleeing at all, and he was mad with anger.

Where did their own cavalry go!

Less than five miles away, another battle was going on.

In order to help their son, the bandits galloped on their horses, wishing they could have wings!

However, they failed to reach the battlefield, and another team of officers and soldiers rushed out diagonally and stopped their team of more than a thousand horses!

“Kill! Give it all to me!” the Qiang leader with a beard shouted loudly.

He is the chief commander of this group of mountain bandits, and he is also a very courageous and powerful murderer.

If it is not proficient in riding and shooting, and has many tricks, how can it create such a huge bandit army?

Therefore, even if he is caught, he is not afraid.

Instead, you must get angry and order a deadly fight!

They are all cavalry, and the numbers are very similar, so what is there to be afraid of?

Kill it clean!

But today, what he encountered was not the weak Jin army.

Like a tiger going down the mountain, that team of cavalry broke in.

The all-white long knives, in the sound of hoofs, are like ghosts of life!

Where did such martial arts come from?

Almost everyone can account for him as a pioneer handsome!

What is even more frightening is that they are not fighting alone, but in groups of three or five, cooperating as one!

Even if the bandits are all fierce, they can’t resist such a battle!

“Kill! Rush out with me!” No more than the others, just fighting for a moment, the bandit leader knew that he was invincible.

Fighting like this is just a life-threatening death.

It is better to escape from Ascension first, and then make plans!

However, before he and his confidants took two steps, a gray horse stopped in front of him.

The horse was a good foal, a head taller than any other horse.

The person on the horse is even more cold-faced in black armor, with a suffocating arrogance.

A pair of gray-blue eyes, cold as a knife, murderous intent!

This is the enemy general!

In the blink of an eye, the bandit leader reacted, and without any hesitation, he led his team to rush up.

There are more than ten confidants, and the opponent only has three or five personal soldiers.

As long as you kill the enemy chief, you can exchange for a chance of life!

With brute force, what he used was a 20-pound mixed-iron spear.

With one shot, it can leave a big hole in the enemy’s body!

Now that he is waving desperately, it is as if the wind and thunder are moving in unison!

With one enemy and three, and with such sharp weapons, why not slay the enemy and dismount?

!

But that vicious and ferocious blow like a poisonous dragon did not fall on the enemy.

Blue-eyed General’s body side, let the iron spear, and backhanded a knife to solve the one who was besieged.

Is this trying to pick up soft persimmons?

The bandit leader showed a wicked smile.

Keep your hands on it, and sweep across the gun!

The gray horse that the enemy sat on seemed to understand human nature, and the horse’s hoof was wrong, and it jumped three steps sideways.

This let, immediately let the spear fall, but the other party took another life in his hands.

Can’t go on like this!

The bandit leader shouted: “Dianwu, Donghao, surround him!” The

two riders rushed over in response, and the three completed the line, and surrounded the blue-eyed man in the middle.

The iron spear, saber, and long hammer were swung out at the same time, like a net like a curtain, trapping the enemy general!

Can hit!

These words were all in the hearts of the three of them.

However, the white horse neighed and raised its hind hooves.

With a kick, the horse on the back neighed miserably, throwing off its master.

On the front, Jie threw the long knife in his hand into the enemy’s chest.

On the side, a mixed iron gun pierced his shoulder.

bingo!

That Qiang handsome was overjoyed.

Although he lost two henchmen, he hit the enemy!

However, the next moment, an unfamiliar sharp pain jumped up.

He looked down at the sore spot.

I saw that Jieren had an extra spear in his empty left hand, an iron-core red ying, and the shiny spear head was buried in his thick black neck.

The spear trembled, and blood spattered.

The bandit leader got off his horse.

The invincible general, who could win with one enemy and three, did not glance at the corpse, but said coldly, “Join the formation!”

Following this short order, all the Shangdang cavalry began to gather, with their swords and weapons in their hands. The murderous intentions in their eyes are also in one place.

“Kill! Kill! Kill!” The

sound of hoofs rolled, and the sound of killing rushed to the sky.

※

“Captain, you probably need two stitches for this injury.” Seeing the wound on Captain Yi’s shoulder, the nurse with the army frowned.

This should be a gunshot wound, but luckily it didn’t go deep.

If it was replaced with a three-edged blade, and it was a few inches deeper, I was afraid that it would hurt the muscles and bones.

Sitting down at the table, Yi Yan said coldly, “Let’s do it.”

Stitching is not an easy task.

The nurse took out a gourd from her side, opened the lid, and the smell of alcohol overflowed.

However, what was poured out of the gourd was a liquid like clear water.

This is the spirit of alcohol specially prepared by the military. As long as it is used before the needle is opened, ulcers can be avoided.

However, the medicinal properties are so strong that when applied to the wound, it is like a knife scorching a fire.

Carefully dipped the steamed white cloth with alcohol, the nurse wiped off the blood near the wound with the cloth.

This was supposed to be extremely painful, but the person beside him only twitched his shoulders slightly, not to mention the pain, and his complexion didn’t even change.

Du Wei seems to be more terrifying these days.

The nurse swallowed, took out the needle and thread, and sewed it up.

The thread is sheep intestines, and the needle is silver needle, but when sewed into the meat, it still makes the teeth sore and the hairs stand upright.

He has sewed wounds for many people with his own hands, crying for his father and mother, and there are many who can’t hold back.

But now that the sewing was done, the man didn’t move at all, as if the sewing was not flesh and blood, but the clothes on his body.

How dare you delay, the nurse quickly finished her work, wiped it with alcohol, wrapped it in medicine, and withdrew.

Yi Yan didn’t even look at the treated wound, picked up the jacket on the side, put it on, and walked out of the tent.

Outside, more than a dozen mountain bandits were tied together, and most of them were injured.

These are all the handsome leaders of the bandit army and need to be further tortured.

When Wang Long saw Yi Yan, he immediately stepped forward: “Yingzheng, that’s all the bandit leaders are. The old camp has to be tried again!”

Yiyan ignored him, walked over to a bandit leader, and asked: ” Where is the old camp in the mountains?” The

old camp is a place where the cottage hides valuables, and only the generals in the center can know.

The man pouted: “You are also a Hu, why should you serve Jingou?!”

He used Hu language.

Although Qiang, Di, and Jie all have their own languages, the Huns are very powerful, so all the Hus can also speak a few words of Huns, so they are called Hu languages.

Both Yiyan and Wang Long could understand these words. Wang Long’s face darkened, and just as he was about to have a seizure, a silver light flashed in front of him.

The little handsome’s head rolled on the ground, and the blood in the cavity spat out a dozen steps before it stopped.

Wang Long immediately closed his mouth.

In the past few days, his temperament seems to be getting worse and worse, and he doesn’t even dare to speak nonsense.

It seems that a big victory still did not make this killing god much happy.

Keeping footsteps, Yiyan came to another person again, still the same question: “Where is the old camp in the mountains?”

With a predecessor as an example, that person didn’t dare to be mad, and swallowed his saliva before saying, “I want to tell you. , you have to let me go first…”

Before he could finish his words, Jian Feng had already kissed his neck.

The splashed blood stained Yi Yan’s clothes, dripping down.

A few more steps forward, Yi Yan stood in front of another person: “Where is the old camp?”

The person may really not know, and tremblingly begged for mercy: “Master Jun, spare your life! The young man is familiar with those chiefs, You can ask…”

He didn’t have a chance to say a third sentence.

Another corpse fell to the ground.

In the camp, silence is like a cicada.

No one dared to speak again.

It seems that what the god-killer wants is not the answer at all, but their lives.

Taking another step, Yiyan didn’t even walk to the next person before that person collapsed, crying and shouting, “In Zuoling! In Zuoling Mountain, I can lead the way!”

The feet in military boots stopped.

Yi Yan waved his blade and shook off the blood on it: “Take them to fight the old camp and conquer it today.”

What else dare Wang Long say?

Take orders quickly, and retreat.

On the side, the messenger came forward tremblingly: “Captain, Zhan County is here as an envoy.”

Zhan County is the seat of the Leping Kingdom, and it should be someone sent by the county government.

Yi Yan didn’t change the bloody clothes, and just walked into the tent.

Seeing his appearance, the grand thief Cao Xie, who came to negotiate, didn’t know where to put his eyes, and he quickly bowed his head and saluted: “I don’t know that Captain Yi is coming, but the lower officials will not welcome him. There are bandits in the mountains, Captain He Lao. Trouble…” The

hidden meaning in his words was very clear.

This is to cross the border. Even if there are mountain bandits in Leping, there is no need to send troops to the party to suppress them!

Yiyan said lightly: “The mountain bandits have attacked Shangdang, and it should be settled. The county seat of Jiyang is already under the control of our army, so Sun Cao doesn’t have to worry.”

What?

The county has been laid down?

Sun Thief Cao had more sweat on his head and stammered: “This, how does this make…”

“Food and grass will also be transported from Shangdang, and after a while, it will be restored to peace. Don’t you want to make peace with the internal history?” Will the country cut off banditry?”

Naturally, this was referring to Jiang Huan, the top leader of the Leping country.

As a confidant of the internal history, how could Sun Thief Cao not know his thoughts.

Soldiers and bandits are scary, but not even more scary than this neighbor.

But now, is there any use in protesting?

Even if they report to the imperial front, they are only here to suppress the bandits.

They did not attack the counties of Leping, nor did they snatch their food and forage.

Who cares about this kind of gossip about self-sacrifice!

His mouth was long and closed, and Sun Thief Cao finally squeezed out a sentence: “Where is it? Your army came from a long way, and killed me in Leping, and I will be a rewarding army. I will report to the internal history and catch the wind for the general… …”

He didn’t dare to call the captain anymore, so he called the general directly.

Yi Yan didn’t show any expression because of this concession, and still had a cold face that no strangers should approach: “Sun Cao is polite.”

After chatting a few more words in a hurry, the grand thief Cao did not dare to stop, and hurriedly left.

There were no more disturbing noises in the camp.

Yi Yan closed his eyes slightly.

His heart seemed to be split in half.

Half of them are calm and composed, handling the war and political affairs exactly; the other half are silent, like falling into some bottomless void.

The lord is getting married.

Married Wang’s daughter.

A lady who cannot be rejected or despised.

Later, he will have more concubines.

Those beauties who are worthy of him and can speak softly in his arms.

He will also have children, full of children and grandchildren, flourishing.

It can add laughter to the empty Liang Mansion, and can help the father and brother manage this huge family business.

Just like any rising high and mighty, it has become a huge family that cannot be ignored.

This is what the lord deserves.

It is also the best way to stabilize the party and even the state.

Right, he understands it.

But that void, no one filled for him.

However, even so, the rational side has not disappeared.

Like clinging to the straw in the torrent, he can’t let go, and he can’t let himself fall into the abyss.

That’s all he has.

The captain of Shangdang, the commander of the Liangfu army, is also the most trusted confidant of the lord.

This role, he can do the best.

In the chest, there was the sound of ice flowing through.

Yi Yan reopened his eyes and walked outside the tent.

※

At the same time, a large army entered Tongguan and moved towards the Hongnong Camp not far away.

This is the imperial car of the emperor, and it is also the team that the general Qi Hong returned from victory.

After hastily sweeping the city of Chang’an, he did not dare to stop, and left the Xianbei soldiers who were still looting the treasured women, and took the lead in leading 8,000 soldiers and horses to escort the emperor out of Guanzhong.

This is the trophy that the King of the East Sea is most looking forward to, and it is also the guarantee of his promotion and promotion. How dare Qi Hong neglect it?

But after all, he was a rude person, and he did not gather the emperor’s retinue, and even the imperial chariot was not found.

He just got an ox cart, put it on the emperor and left.

The other princes and nobles did not even have a car, so they all walked on foot.

Because of this group of trash, it took seven days to walk from Chang’an to Tongguan.

Rao was Qi Hong leading countless troops, and he was also a little annoyed.

After arriving at Hongnong Camp, we will be able to assign vehicles to these wastes.

Sima Teng, who was just waiting in the camp, was not a good person.

During the attack on Chang’an, I didn’t see him rushing ahead, but by this time, he was picking the fruit instead?

Qi Hong almost wanted to sneer twice.

However, he was the younger brother of the King of the East Sea, so he could not offend him.

Fortunately, Chang’an has a lot of oil and water to fish for.

Riding on the horse, Qi Hong casually pondered how to arrange the stolen things and how much they were worth.

At this moment, a voice penetrated the thick army formation and floated into Qi Hong’s ears.

“There are enemy horses!” Raising his head

suddenly, Qi Hong was horrified to find that a dark cloud appeared in the sky.

It was cavalry, there were three or four thousand men!

The smoke and dust it brings up alone has the potential to block the sun!

How come there are enemies here?

What is Hongnong Camp doing?

Why didn’t the scout report!

Even after a hundred battles, the general still panicked, and hurriedly shouted angrily: “What are you still stunned for? Escort! Escort!”

He was carrying the Son of Heaven!

If there is a loss, how many heads are not enough to pay!

Hearing this order, everyone hurriedly moved.

However, they were victorious and arrogant soldiers, and the military discipline was disrupted by looting. How could they react in a while?

Like a ferocious pack of wolves, the light cavalry team slammed into the weak camp and killed the bullock cart they were guarding!

※

Liu Yao never thought that he could encounter such a good thing.

After leading the troops into Hongnong, he heard a message.

Now that the big tent has not been withdrawn, the reason for staying in Hongnong is to welcome the imperial driver.

And the emperor’s chariot had already driven out of Chang’an.

This is a godsend!

Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Yao made a new plan. Instead of harassing the camp, he started from the back and robbed the forage.

Now there is a shortage of food everywhere, and there are many bandits along the way.

When such a thing happened, Sima Teng dared to neglect, and immediately sent troops to rectify the way back.

And after disturbing the camp and taking away Sima Teng’s attention.

Liu Yao then waved his division and marched towards the front line of Tongguan.

No matter how you go, you always have to pass through Tongguan when you exit the customs.

If they set up an ambush nearby, they will definitely be able to wait for their prey.

The result is like a godsend.

The guards and the imperial chariots are only 8,000 people.

There is no large account to meet, and there is no strengthened alert.

These people are like naked lambs, walking among the wilderness.

How can such a prey be spared?

Following Liu Yao’s order, the three thousand light cavalry rushed towards the enemy camp.

As if tearing the silk, the hastily built front was broken.

The resistance of those Jin troops was simply not enough to stop this fine cavalry like a tiger like a wolf.

Where the horse has passed, there are only corpses!

However, Liu Yao’s mind was unusually clear.

He didn’t target the central army and ignored the flag. He waved his troops and rushed towards the bullock cart carrying the banner of the emperor.

Guard soldiers?

kill!

Blocking officials?

kill!

A personal attendant?

kill!

With a knife, he chopped down the young man who was standing in front of the car, wearing a beam crown on his head.

A middle-aged man with a white face and thin beard, covered in thirst, was dragged out of the car by the soldiers.

The crown of the sky, the black robe, and the red robe.

Who else dares to dress up like this, other than being a kid?

“General!” The soldier shouted excitedly, “It’s the emperor of Jin!”

“How can there be two masters in the world? Kill!” Liu Yao ordered without hesitation.

When the soldier heard this, he hesitated, and regardless of the man’s cry and struggle, he swung the sharp blade in his hand.

With a screeching sound, blood spattered five steps.

Its red color is no different from ordinary people.

Really succeeded!

Liu Yao laughed and said to the soldiers who were still fighting endlessly: “The Emperor Jin is dead, let’s withdraw!”

All the Xiongnu soldiers howled and rushed out of the formation.

The Jin army, which was already in chaos, had no power to stop it at this moment.

Qi Hong, who rushed forward desperately, saw the blood-soaked ox cart, spit out blood, and fell to the horse.

On that day, the bad news rushed into the Hongnong Camp with the remnants of the soldiers.
