My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 171 North Iron Hoof
Wei State, Chendu County.

In a village outside the city, there was a lot of fighting. In the calm autumn weather, human blood splashed on the door plaque with the word "Xuan Shui".

Under the gate were human corpses, extending inward. Scarlet blood stains poured onto the ground. Sporadic fighting soon subsided. Pei Min walked out carrying a person. All around, masters from the Embroidery Department wiping the blood on their swords were also there. Come back and leave after him.

On the fourth day, we finally found the other gang's location and caught him.

Then, a fire lit up a nearby house. Pei Min threw the man on the horse, turned over and rode on, turned the horse's head, and shouted: "Let's go!"

A few people and a few horses wiped out the Xuanshui Gang. The moment the news came out, Chendu County exploded. It was not that a Jianghu gang was important, but that behind this gang was the Chaotang Long Sikong. Family members, this time the Xuanshui Gang attacked a group of Yan caravans and threw the captured people into the government prison. The prefect of Chendu County knew that this matter was definitely not that simple.

He was specifically told not only to kill the person, but also to make the other party admit that it was the work of Yan State and the destruction of Wei State.

This time, before the charges were confirmed, a spy came to the door and wiped out the Xuanshui Gang in one fell swoop. When Jintang, the Grand Guard of Chendu County, heard the news, he trembled so hard that he almost fell off his concubine.

"Damn...these are life-threatening things!"

He cursed, and immediately sent out all the policemen and servants of the government office, and also asked the county lieutenant to bring out two battalions of soldiers and horses to search. For a time, the Jianghu people in Chendu County instantly became honest and stopped causing trouble in and outside the city. I just watched teams of arresters and soldiers leaving the city.

at the same time.

The leader of the Xuanshui Gang, known as Daozhantie, was abandoned like a dead dog in a small ditch in a nearby farmland. When he was found, he was already dead.

Pei Min and others can't hide it at all now. After all, their luxurious clothes, accent, and horses are all particularly eye-catching.

Under the skylight, farmers harvesting crops watched several running knights break into a nearby forest. Pei Min dismounted first and raised his hands towards Fang Xuejun and others who came out.

"The whereabouts of Su Ting have been found out. He has not been transferred out yet and is still in jail in the city. But if we want to rescue him, it is obvious that more than a dozen of us cannot do it. At this time, the soldiers of Chendu County should start searching for us, the princess and everyone else. Fifteen miles northwest from here, there is the boat we came on, and it is Guo Jijiu who has arranged an escape route."

Fang Xuejun, who wanted to leave, took a few steps and felt something was wrong. He turned back to look at Pei Min and several people from the Embroidery Department.

"Commander Pei, what about you?"

"We are here to save people on the order of King Xia. Since we can't save them, we'll kill them!" Pei Min asked, "Princess, please get on your horse! I'll escort you away first."

"Master, I'm afraid it's too late!"

The voice belonged to Li Bai. He came back from the outside on a horse and casually raised his hands to everyone: "The soldiers and horses of Chendu County have come out, and there are also government officials. They are searching inch by inch. They are expected to be here soon." , Escort the princess and leave quickly!"

At this time, Pei Min took out a brochure bag from his sleeve. He took a look at it and then put away the note.

"You send the princess off first!"

Li Bai knew that it was given to his master by Guo Jia, so he didn't say anything more at the moment, and asked Fang Xuejun and others to get on their horses first, and walked all the way to the northwest. Under the sun, everyone pressed the hilt of the sword, the hilt of the sword, and the nearby farmers, Passing merchants are all objects of vigilance.

However, he was still discovered by Chen Dujun's scouts. The opponent also came over and watched from a distance, shooting a loud arrow.

A whistling sound rose into the sky.

The soldiers and horses dispatched by Chendu County, the hunting officials, and the police were all alerted at this moment. Several chief arresters led their teams to rush over, and a large number of soldiers and horses from Chendu County were also encircling in that direction. Looking down from the sky, a group of soldiers and horses were surrounded. A huge net has already covered more than twenty people running northwest.

……

The port north of the Taotao Hun River was also in chaos. A cavalry of 500 people dispersed through all the docks and bridges on the river bank, brandishing blades and spears.

There are also people riding alone and shouting:

"Recruit the big ships along the coast. No one is allowed to cross the river. All news is blocked. Anyone who dares to escape privately will be treated as a trick and executed on the spot!"

In less than half an hour, the ground shook and began to roar. In the midst of stunned sight, more war horses came running like long dragons with iron hooves.

The iron hooves of nearly two thousand cavalrymen jumped up and down, causing a cry of surprise, and then the screams of surprise were suppressed.

A Xiliang army of hundreds of people came first, marching lightly. After resting for a while, the order was given to "cross the river first and seize the dock." They went straight into the cargo holds of two merchant ships, and the sails were raised. Soon, Sailing towards the Wei State border on the south bank.

Behind the departing ship, more footsteps and dense figures loomed.

……

The afternoon sun is not so bright anymore.

The shouts of killing became more urgent, and the figures of the policemen were running through the mountains and ridges, or running between the fields. In their hands were tools to deal with the Jianghu people. The chief arrester Wang Shuoyang ordered them not to fight directly with each other, and to try their best to use hidden tricks. Use dirty tricks and run away immediately if you can't beat them.

At present, several teams from the army have fought against each other.

In one encounter, he was killed by more than 20 people, and seventeen of them were killed. This was the most ferocious martial arts master he had ever seen, but there was news that it was from the Yan Kingdom's fine craftsman - the Embroidery Department.

The leader of the Xuanshui Gang, who he had dealt with before and was considered a powerful figure in this area, was taken out of his home like a dog and taken outside to be killed with a knife.

He looked at the direction where arrows were constantly shooting out, and then at the backs of his subordinates who were moving forward, and cursed: "Everyone from the north is a fucking lunatic."

But then, he still led the people towards the direction of the sounding arrow.

Ahead was a place where woods and fields met. Arrows kept flying through the sky. Several people ran forward to get out of the range of the arrows. Then they turned around and rushed back to pursue the soldiers of Chendu County, an embroidery department officer. The master slashed with his sword, knocking over the two soldiers who were rushing towards them, patting away the pieces of meat stained on their robes, grabbing his companions who were still trying to rush towards the crowd, turning around and continuing to run away.

"Can Commander Pei succeed?"

"Don't worry, let's attract more pursuers first!"

"Okay, we'll be responsible for driving around!"

The Embroidery Department recruits some martial arts masters from the North. The entry standards are set by Pei Min. It is difficult for ordinary masters to get into his eyes. Those who can come out with him are those who have the courage and skill.

But at the moment, the road they were running was more than ten miles in radius, and more and more soldiers and horses from Chendu County were being pursued. Occasionally, there were light cavalry. If there were woods, they would be easy to avoid, so they tried to pick up as many as possible from the mountains and forests. The place is moving.

There was a faint clash of gold and iron from two miles ahead.

"not good!"

"The princess must have been discovered by the scouts!"

Several people from the Embroidery Department hurried over there and rushed across a gentle slope. Sure enough, they saw Fang Xuejun carrying several knives on her back and slashing through the crowd with two in her hands. She was accompanied by Li Wangqiu and other people to help.

When several people rushed over, the sound of clanging like iron could be heard one after another. Fang Xuejun rushed forward, using two slender knives in his hands to chop down the two policemen, and threw one to knock them away. The catcher nailed him, and with his backhand he drew again and again. The sword was unsheathed, and he used a weapon in each hand to draw out several lines of blood on both sides.

The paper package flew towards me, and the blade of my waving knife hung up.

The sky is filled with lime.

Fang Xuejun quickly closed his eyes, and a figure who looked like a headhunter next to him drew a big knife and struck. Li Wangqiu reached out and grabbed Fang Xuejun, pulling Fang Xuejun to his side. The big knife hit the ground with a bang, splitting a stone in two. Half.

Several people from the Embroidery Department had already rushed here. They kicked off their feet and rushed directly into the battle group. They wielded their weapons and killed six agents one after another.

One of them raised his knife to block the catcher's sword. He shouted, "Go!" He opened his robe and kicked the handle of the knife in the catcher's hand, sending the sword flying away.

He slashed open the opposite door with a backhand knife, turned around and rushed towards the crowd, leading Fang Xuejun and his party to continue moving forward. They were already very close to the place to cross the river.

But you have to get out of the woods.Above their heads, the sound of ringing arrows became more and more intensive, and the soldiers and horses of Chendu County who discovered their traces were also gathering crazily towards this side.

……

South bank of Hun River.

The big ship arrived, and the Chendu County soldiers who came to inspect the scraped oil and water opened the cabin and were greeted by the slashing blades.

Two groups of hundreds of Xiliang soldiers rushed out of the ship and jumped off the deck. Like hungry wolves, they pounced directly on the astonished Chendu County defenders. Their swords saw blood, and one after another figures appeared at the Chendu County Pier. spread.

The next moment, a loud arrow shot towards the middle of the river.

Soon, a large number of sails stood on the river. Boats of various sizes passed through the rapid river and headed this way. On the bow of the boat, Su Chen stood with a knife and looked at the south bank with a solemn expression.

On the deck behind him, Dian Wei pulled out his two halberds and began to twist his waist. Soldiers sat on the deck one by one, wiping their blades and checking their armor.

……

In the wilderness extending to the north of Chendu County, the sound of arrows constantly conveyed the location of Yan Guo's work.

A large number of people, including police officers, government officials, and the army, gathered in this direction.

"Over there, I saw them!"

"Surround them up, don't let them get to the river first and get on the boat to cross the river!"

"You kill people and want to leave? Leave them behind!"

Shouts and roars came from all directions, which also frightened Fang Xuejun. She did not expect that in a place like Chendu County, the soldiers and police officers would react so quickly.

Less than a mile behind them, a Chen Dujun general named Cao Zhong arrived with an elite team. He rode on horseback and ran for a while. He stopped, listened to the scout's report, and looked around.

Pointing to the slope next to it, "Cut in front of this group from here!"

The autumn sun was almost setting, and the rays of sunlight showed a bright red color in the woods and slopes. Cao Zhong led a few horses to the top of the slope. At the other end of the field of vision, the figure of the Yamen police officer could already be seen, rushing out with the group. Lin Zi's meticulous attack was a mass killing, and the soldiers following behind were gradually approaching.

"If you work carefully, you dare to come to Chendu County... Don't think that there is a mixed bag of fish and dragons here, but the water underneath is clear."

If Su Chen heard this sentence, he couldn't help but sigh, it was exactly the same as what he did in Ding'an City.

"Go on!"

Cao Zhong smiled and rode down the gentle slope, joined the elite team below, and moved towards the group of soldiers who rushed out of the forest and hacked to the road.

He is not afraid of the martial arts of these Jianghu people at all.

After all, there were two battalions of soldiers and horses behind him, and 4000 people were continuously surrounding them. As for the sword masters and sword immortals he heard about, he didn't take it to heart.

Just a charlatan.

What's the use of having higher martial arts skills?Sword God Yuan Bai Sheng was not yet surrounded and died.

The sound of swords clashing with gold and iron could be clearly heard.

Cao Zhong was sitting on the horse and could see Yan Guo Xizuo who wanted to fight and surround him. He couldn't help but smile. He reined in the horse and stopped and said to the bodyguard beside him: "That girl is not bad, it's a pity... Let Come on, sons and gentlemen, it’s considered a battle after seeing blood.”

He sighed sadly.

He received a nod of approval from his bodyguard.

Then, the order was passed on, and some soldiers and horses surrounded Cao Zhong, and some moved closer to Cao Zhong to defend him. The chief of the police team was standing nearby at this time. The army had already pressed forward, so there was no need for him to rush forward to attack.

For a moment, he frowned slightly, and there was the faint sound of horse hooves.

"Which way...huh?!"

The chief constable suddenly opened his eyes wide and hurriedly ran up the high ground among the woods. He waved to the advancing troops below and shouted: "Don't go over, disperse!"

"Ok?"

Cao Zhong frowned and raised his head, looking at Fang Tianling, the chief arrester of the government running on the forest high ground on the right, "What is he calling?"

Then, the horse under him stamped its hooves in a panic, swayed its mane, and breathed out uneasily.

The surrounding soldiers felt a faint tremor under their feet, and subconsciously lowered their heads to look at the ground. Fang Tianling, who was fanning the ground by the forest, was still running and screaming. Then he stopped his horse and said: "... grass."

Rumble!
In the field of vision of the high ground, dust stirred up and filled the sky. Black shadows were running straight towards this side, and the dense and tumbling iron hooves seemed to be crushing the earth in an instant.

At this moment, the shaking on the ground became more and more intense. The policemen and soldiers who were surrounding and killing stopped their movements, subconsciously stepped back, and then turned their heads to look forward. The soldiers and horses of Chendu County who were gathering to surround and kill were also stunned for a moment. , and then looked over there.

Fang Xuejun, who had chopped down one person, was covered in blood and her hair was messy. Her face was pale and she was panting. She looked at them in the middle of the fight. The moment she and Li Wangqiu, who had their backs turned, turned their heads, several feather arrows almost passed by them. Wipe it over.

Several figures surrounding him were shot by arrows and fell to the ground in an instant.

Several horses came rushing forward. The leader was a man with silver armor and white robes, with a face like a crown of jade. The white tassel on his lion helmet was stroking, and his voice shouted: "Yan is attacking Wei. Surrender and avoid death!"

The tiger-headed Zhan golden gun was thrust downward, instantly piercing the head of a policeman, and the two people behind him were pushed out by the huge thrust. The Xiqiang cavalry who came first took away more than a dozen soldiers who were surrounding them. , the galloping Xiqiang cavalry queue was like a shadow covering the sky, and the roar broke through the ground.

The two thousand cavalrymen rose and fell, extending to the left and right like giant waves, occupying the avenue and sweeping over them overwhelmingly.

Cao Zhong's smiling face turned dull, and then he shouted: "Run away!"

Infantry that is not in formation is no match for cavalry. This is common sense!
He turned his horse's head and ran wildly with his soldiers.

Hundreds of soldiers and police officers also turned around and ran away from the front.

The slow-footed cavalryman was directly driven forward. A shot penetrated his back, and then he was picked up and pushed away by the collision force of the galloping horse.

More fleeing people were knocked over and trampled by the oncoming cavalry.

The small group of a dozen people including Fang Xuejun, Li Wangqiu, and others were like rocks in the ocean, with the rushing waves all bypassing them.

"This is the true power of the army..." As a Jianghu man, Li Wangqiu had never seen such a battle, and finally understood why his master told them to stay as far away from a battle formation as possible.

For the soldiers and horses of Chendu County who were fleeing all over the mountains and plains, the Northern Iron Troopers were like a huge shadow hanging over their heads.

……

Soon, a six-wheeled cart pulled by eight horses appeared on the border of Wei!

Twenty thousand Xiliang troops are making final preparations.
