Chapter 570 Bianjing will not open, only hope to win and return

"Om-"

A string sounded, and a long arrow shot out from the string, hitting the target made of straw fifty paces away.

On the one-foot-sized round archery target, long arrows have been inserted densely, and the new arrows still follow a line of gaps, accurately piercing into the bull's-eye.

A young man with red lips and white teeth, eyebrows flying into his temples did not stop, he continued to bend his bow and set his arrows, aiming for a moment, the arrow caught between his fingers suddenly turned into a stream of light, unexpectedly squeezed into it again inconceivably, and nailed it on target.

Only then did the young man put down the birch bow with satisfaction, and then he heard applause from behind: "You have a kind of general, you are really good at archery!"

The young man turned around and saw the person who came, and immediately closed his bow and clasped his fists: "I have seen Lin Tiha, it is Lin Tiha who taught the art!"

Lin Yuanjing walked over, looked at the densely packed target filled with arrows, and exclaimed: "Hua Xiaoyi doesn't need to be modest, I can't do your archery skills, how can I teach you?"

Young man said sincerely: "Among all the instructors in the army, only Lin Tiha was the most careful and meticulous when teaching us martial arts, I will remember it in my heart!"

Lin Yuanjing said: "I can't say that, it's actually very good to be appointed as a coach..."

The young man snorted, apparently very dissatisfied with the other coaches, but he didn't say much, and asked instead, "I don't know if Lin Tiha is here, what's your order?"

Lin Yuanjing had just told the Forbidden Army that he valued about the Wuyou Cave, but he received some hesitant answers. Thinking that Zhang Bofen's progress was smooth, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

But he also doesn't want others to embarrass him, so he restrained his emotions and told the story in the most objective tone: "Worriless Cave is no different than others. This matter is dangerous. You should choose carefully and discuss it with your family."

But the young man's eyes brightened when he heard it, and finally he beamed with joy: "How can I do without Hua Rong for such a feat? Thank you Lin Tixia for telling me!"

Seeing that his newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, Lin Yuanjing raised his concerns again before leaving.

Hua Rong was already gearing up, hurriedly walked to the archery target, pulled out the arrows, put them back into the quiver one by one, and then walked quickly to her room.

From a distance, in front of the dilapidated house, two women, one big and one small, were embroidering shoes. They stepped forward and called out: "Your Majesty! Younger Sister!"

The older woman raised her head, revealing a rough-skinned face full of hardships in life: "Xiao Yi is back?"

The little girl, who is only six or seven years old, is still concentrating on working the needles. Her female red is not as skilled as her mother, and she has a lot of wounds on her hands, but she still has to work. If there are no family members of these soldiers to make some female red, Subsidizing the family, life is simply not going on.

Seeing this, Huarong became more and more determined. His ancestors were also generals, but he was the descendant of the generals, but now his family has fallen and he has become an ordinary soldier.

Ban Zhi didn't say anything, he had no way to enter the Fourth Army, and became a middle-ranking forbidden army. A few years ago, his father was seriously ill in bed, and it was difficult to raise money for medicine until his father died of illness.

Under the tempering of life, Huarong vowed to stand out, at least to let his mother and sister live a good life, and never live such a poor life again.

Entering the leaky house, everything you see is poor, but the most eye-catching thing is a long gun leaning against the wall.

Hua Rong walked over, reached for the gun, took a piece of coarse cloth, and gently wiped the tip of the gun. The tip of the gun reflected his eyes, and the fighting spirit in those eyes became clearer and clearer.

After thinking about it, Huarong took out some dry food, wrapped it carefully, then fell on the bed, closed his eyes, and recharged his energy.

While wearing silver armor in his dream, commanding thousands of troops, killing all directions, a small hand shook him awake.

Hua Rong opened his eyes, and his younger sister's thin face was pressed against the edge of the bed: "Brother, there is movement outside."

"Good girl, brother, I'll come as soon as I go!"

Hua Rong jumped up, rubbed his sister's face, picked up the spear and bow, and went out.

Along the way, I saw the imperial guards who had heard the news, and gathered at the central venue slowly. The discussions during the period, such as "killing the thief in the Wuyou cave", "the empress dowager's edict", "Gongsun judge leading the team", etc., verified Lin Yuanjing What I said before is correct.

Judging from the atmosphere of those exchanges, everyone was not surprised. After all, the imperial court planned to wipe out Wuyou Cave, and the news had spread long ago, but no actual action was seen for a long time.

The imperial army hates to move, what is Wuyou Cave, Ghost Fan Tower!Underground magic cave!

They are paid hundreds of cash a month, but most of the time they still can't get it, so why put their lives on it?

So except for Huarong, Longjinghu, and the tiger who were moving forward suddenly, most of the imperial guards were like soft-footed shrimps, scrambling to surround them, wishing they would never get there.

When Huarong came to the square, he saw Gongsun Zhao in a scarlet robe standing in the center holding an edict. The forbidden troops gathered below were sparse, but the military officers in the camp were basically gathered.

It's just that except for Lin Yuanjing and Zhang Bofen, the eyes of the others were also flinching, and they even deliberately stood outside, for fear that Gongsun Zhao would see him.

Hua Rong frowned, a little disappointed, and suddenly found a weak crowned gentleman with outstanding bearing, standing beside him, looking at the field, and couldn't help but look sideways at him.

Seeing this man staring at him like lightning, Li Yan also sized him up, but he didn't recognize Hua Rong, and when he saw Hua Rong standing in the queue belonging to Lin Yuanjing, he nodded secretly.

It seems that I have misunderstood Xianyu's father. Although he didn't have many people, only about thirty people, even less than twenty people came here at this time, but they were all carefully selected, and they were able to walk around. It can be seen that the martial arts are not bad, and they can be called elite.

As for the imperial army brought by Zhang Bofen, the martial arts were a bit mixed, but their expressions were more determined. The men who were struggling on the edge of food and clothing were brave enough to work hard, and their morale was stronger. The number was also larger, there were more than [-] people. .

The total number of the two parties is close to [-] people.

enough.

Li Yan nodded slightly, Gongsun Zhao knew that he could act, and said loudly: "Under the order of the Empress Dowager, the Kaifeng government sent out two hundred fast-track archers, called three hundred forbidden troops from the Beijing camp, and entered the Wuyou Cave together to capture the murderers and punish the thieves. If you can succeed, there will be great rewards from everyone above and below, do you have anyone who volunteers?"

The military attachés of the Imperial Army were completely quiet, some even looked like clay sculptures, without even blinking their eyelids.

Just when everyone thought that there must be no one to answer, and the next step is to blindly select the unlucky one, one person came out and said, "I am willing!"

The imperial guards looked over in unison, only to see that it was Lin Yuanjing, the provost who could only be remembered when they met, and who had no sense of existence on weekdays. They were surprised and delighted, and were almost moved to tears.

Great!He suffered this disaster for us!
Immediately after, Zhang Bofen also joined the ranks: "I am not talented, but I am willing to follow Judge Gongsun and enter the Wuyou Cave to kill the thieves!"

Everyone was not surprised this time, because Lin Yuanjing and Zhang Bofen were close, and they obviously had a deep sense of loyalty, and they were willing to take such a dangerous matter together.

good man!They are all good people!
Gongsun Zhao knew it well, bowed his hands to the two respectfully, and began to roll their names.

Lin Yuanjing and Zhang Bofen's imperial troops were all counted, and there were still more than a dozen places left. He then selected a dozen more energetic soldiers on the field and registered them in the roster.

When the three hundred forbidden troops lined up to record their names and press their fingerprints, Gongsun Zhao looked at an official of the forbidden army and said, "Commander Zhang, please take us to the armory to collect weapons and armor."

The military officer who was summoned stepped forward, with a touch of resistance deep in his eyes, but he had no choice but to obey: "Yes! Judge Gongsun, please follow me..."

He is the Commander of the Forbidden Army, he sounds very imposing, and his rank is only from the eighth rank. This is still in the Imperial Army of the Beijing Camp, and many of the local commanders do not even have a rank.

Many of the officials with real power in the Northern Song Dynasty were both civil servants and civil servants. For example, there were local officials with real power who were promoted to jurisdiction and guarded ministers. The rank is not high, so that many of them have spent their whole lives fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, and when they grow old, their official ranks are not as good as the starting point bestowed by scholars after high school.

However, under the same official status, the salary of military officers is better than that of civil servants. In addition, the military is extremely corrupt, the forces are intertwined, and there are many collusions with civil officials. The actual situation is another matter.

At this time, Commander Zhang received instructions to trip Judge Gongsun, but he secretly complained.

Everything needs time to prepare. The person who sent the message over there has just arrived, and this side has already arrived at the barracks. Even the manpower has been assembled, and the weapons are directly taken. How can he make trouble?
The glaring edict is here, and he doesn't want to lose this fat position, so he can only bring Gongsun Zhao to the armory.

"Take the crossbow, armor and regiment cards."

Gongsun Zhao entered unceremoniously, and let a group of fast-track archers start to choose weapons, and then handed them over to the management officials for registration.

In places like Wuyou Cave, many weapons cannot be used, but these are the most practical ones.

Ever since it was too late to make the loop, the three hundred forbidden troops quickly assembled, followed Gongsun Zhao, and went out of the camp together.

Along the way, the other imperial guards who had already learned that they had been hand-selected no longer evaded, but gathered over and watched them leave.

There was no gloating in his eyes, but only deep pity.

It's really not worth it to put your life on such a small salary, and your wife and children will be kicked out again!

Under this kind of farewell look, the three hundred forbidden soldiers who were persuaded by Lin Yuanjing and Zhang Bofen before also faintly became agitated.

Walking among them, Hua Rong inevitably felt a sense of uneasiness.

After all, it was his first real battle to kill the enemy. Perhaps Wuyou Cave is not considered a battlefield, but in the hearts of Bianjing people, that place is actually more terrifying than a battlefield!
If I never come back, then my mother and sister...

But this uneasy atmosphere soon disappeared.

Because when Gongsun Zhao led a team of [-] people into the inner city, it immediately attracted the attention of the people from all directions.

"Is the government going to attack Wuyou Cave? Finally! Finally!"

"My child...my child was taken away by those thieves...then...then...ahhh..."

"Judge Gongsun! Judge Gongsun! We believe in you the most! We must wipe out the thieves and come back victorious!"

Everyone whispered to each other at first, and after fully realizing what happened, they cried and shouted into a mess, shouting loudly, and more people rushed over directly, causing the imperial guards to turn pale with fright and put on a defensive posture.

Until Gongsun Zhao's voice spread: "Don't move! Don't move!"

Only then did the surroundings slowly become quiet, and the eyes focused on it.

Gongsun Zhao looked at those most simple eyes, and there were thousands of words in his heart, but in the end he just clasped his fists together: "Everyone, please rest assured, we are going to Wuyou Cave, and we will be punished as thieves!"

"Kill the thief! Kill the thief! Kill the thief!"

The people responded, scattered at first, but soon became unified, and slowly retreated to the sides, and the pair of hands still stretched out.

Those rough hands, with the simplest desire, touched their armor, as if to pass on their beliefs.

As a result, the morale of the Imperial Army including Hua Rong has undergone earth-shaking changes, with their chests straightened out and their steps becoming more and more determined.

Different from the pity eyes of the imperial guards before, the eyes of these people are full of excitement, joy, expectation and blessing.

With such a farewell, what reason do they have to be afraid?
When the team disappeared, the people on the street still saw each other far away, lingering for a long time, but the news spread quickly, shaking the whole Bianjing soon.

It's the fashion of this era that when encountering such a big event, one would start gambling a long time ago, but this time, the betting was quickly closed...

Because no one is willing to bet on losing, only hope that the worry-free cave will be destroyed, and only hope that the soldiers will return victorious!
