...

Li Yan stayed in Tangyin County for a whole month and recruited more than 700 recruits.

It can be said that it is a miracle that so many recruits can be recruited in one county, especially under the strict control of Li Yan and others.

In fact, it was also because the year was so bad that everyone had no way out, so so many people joined the army—as long as they were selected, the whole family could go with the Liangshan Army, and the whole family could have enough to eat.

Later statistics showed that in Tangyin County alone, there were nearly [-] family members who left with the Liangshan Army.

Among the people recruited in Tangyin County, a few stood out. They were Xu Qing, Kou Cheng, Li Dao, Yue Heng, Zhao Hong, Wang Wan, Guo Jin, and Yu Peng.

These people either have the potential to lead the army, or can charge, or have a certain strategy.

With a wave of his hand, Li Yan took them all as his personal guards, observing and training them himself.

Last day of recruiting.

Because Yue Fei, Zhang Xian and others have been recruited.

Also because almost all the people who can be recruited have been found, there are only three or five people who sign up in one morning.

So, after lunch, Li Yan went back to rest.

But not long after Li Yan returned to his residence, Ma Ling came to report: "The governor, a fierce man came, and he defeated Suo Chao in less than twenty minutes."

Li Yan was very different when he heard this, and thought: "There are still such fierce people in Xiangzhou?"

Li Yan asked: "What's his name?"

Ma Ling said: "He said his name is Yao Shuxing."

Li Yan said silently: "Yao Shuxing? Yao Shuxing... Yao Xing!"

Wan Yanliang invaded southward on a large scale, and his iron cavalry went straight to Jianghuai.

Liu Qi, the Jianghuai system envoy, ordered the Huaixi guard Wang Quan to fight.

King Quan, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, dared not enter the front line until Wan Yanliang captured Shouchun, an important military town, and had no choice but to enter Luzhou.

Wang Quan's striker is Yao Xing.

After receiving the order, Yao Xing led his troops to advance towards Luzhou at high speed, and encountered five hundred cavalry in Dinglin.

Yao Xing calmly commanded to repel the enemy and captured the enemy general Nv Zhihu Shahu alive.

Afterwards, the Jin soldiers forcibly crossed the Huaihe River, and the royal authority ordered Yao Xing to fight against the enemy, while he retreated in a hurry.

Yao Xing and Jin Bing met at Weizi Bridge in Hezhou.

In front of the gold and iron horse known as one hundred thousand golden soldiers, Yao Xing's three thousand soldiers (some say four hundred cavalry) fought the enemy desperately without fear.

From Chenshi in the morning to Shenshi in the afternoon, they fought fiercely for eight or nine hours, and fought dozens of rounds. Yao Xing alone killed hundreds of people.

note!

At this time, Yao Xing was already in his fifties and almost sixty, and he had already passed the peak of military generals!
At that time, Wang Quan hid on Xianzong Mountain, defended himself strictly, bought wine for fun, and had no intention of helping Yao Xing at all. The commander Dai Gao also led the horse army to evade the enemy.

Although Yao Xing had a strong enemy before and no reinforcements behind him, he became more and more courageous as he fought. Jin Bing had no choice but to secretly send someone to bribe Li Er.

Li Er had a personal favor with King Quan and was able to enter and leave the King Quan's military camp. He took the opportunity to steal the King Quan's military flag and hand it over to the Jinren.

The Jinren General flag was erected on a hill to trick Yao Xing.

When Yao Xing saw the military flag, he mistakenly thought that Wang Quan was leading the army to help, so he rushed to meet it!

After rushing to the mountain, Yao Xing realized that he had fallen for the enemy's trick, but it was too late. Yao Xing angrily cut off the flagpole, scolded the enemy loudly, and then returned to the enemy's line to fight. In the end, because the enemy was outnumbered, Yao Xing He died heroically with his son, and 50 other people, including Dr. Gongwei and Zheng Tong, the defense envoy of Zhongzhou, were killed at the same time.

Yao Xing died on the horse, his body still standing, his eyes wide open, the horse roared and rushed out of the siege, heading straight to Yao Xing's other son's camp.

When the horse ran to a bridge, he met another son of Yao Xing who led the remaining dozens of soldiers to help his father.

Seeing that his father was dead, Yao Xing's son got off his horse and wept and said: "My son will definitely recover the lost land and avenge his father!"

As soon as the words fell, Yao Xing's body slowly fell from the horse. People called this bridge "Yuzi Bridge", and later falsely called "Weizi Bridge".

Afterwards, Jin's heart was still lingering, and he said to each other: "There are ten generations like Yao Xing, do I dare to go forward?" King Wan Yanliang of Jinling ordered to write a poem "Diao Yao Xing" after hearing the report. The solitary general, surnamed Yao, was devoted to loyalty and filial piety to the Southern Dynasty. If Yuan Rong pretended to call for troops, the general might not die at Weiqiao.” He highly praised Yao Xing’s loyal behavior.

Li Yan never expected that Yao Xing would come to answer the call!

Even if Yao Xing's martial arts were not as good as Yang Zaixing's, it wouldn't be too bad.

The key is that Yao Xing still has the ability to command troops, and he is extremely loyal and absolutely obedient.

"A great surprise! I'm worrying about who will be the chief general of the Beiwei Army in the future!"

Thinking of this, Li Yan stood up "teng", then walked out quickly, then got on his horse and galloped towards the competition field with a group of personal guards!

There was still a long distance from the competition field, and Li Yan saw that there were two very young generals on the competition field, fighting fiercely. One of them was Yang Zaixing, and the other Li Yan didn't know, but he must be Yao Xing!

Li Yan rode to Lu Junyi's side and asked, "Who is on the field?"

Of course Lu Junyi knew that what Li Yan was asking was not Yang Zaixing, but another person.

Lu Junyi said: "His name is Yao Shuxing, and he has already fought 120 times with Zaixing."

Li Yan asked: "Who is stronger?"

Lu Junyi said: "Between brothers... Zaixing should be a little stronger."

Fearing that Yang Zaixing and Yao Xing would be injured, Li Yan looked at it for a while and said, "Go and stop them."

Lu Junyi listened to the order, got on his horse without saying a word, and then rushed into the arena with his spear!

Just like the competition between Lu Junyi and Yang Zaixing that time, Yang Zaixing and Yao Xing have already played a real fire, and they are inseparable!
Therefore, seeing Lu Junyi coming to separate them, Yang Zaixing and Yao Xing instinctively attacked Lu Junyi at the same time, wanting to beat Lu Junyi away, and then continued to fight.

Lu Junyi was not afraid, and fought with Yang Zaixing and Yao Xing with one against two!
Lu Junyi is a fresh force, while Yang Zaixing and Yao Xing have been fighting for a long time.

Therefore, Yang Zaixing and Yao Xing are two enemies, and they can't do anything to Lu Junyi for the time being.

After fighting for a while, Yang Zaixing and Yao Xing seemed to acquiesce in Lu Junyi's joining, and the battle turned into a brawl among the three, with no intention of stopping at all!

Li Yan looked at it for a while, then signaled Niu Gao to hand over his Iron Panlong Cudgel to him.

Niu Gao hurriedly handed the mixed iron panlong stick that he had been resisting to Li Yan.

Li Yan picked up the mixed iron panlong stick with one hand, and then rushed out with a slap on Shishicong!
When Li Yan rushed over, Lu Junyi, Yang Zaixing, and Yao Xing instinctively joined forces to beat Li Yan out!
On the other hand, Li Yan grabbed one end of the Mixed Iron Panlong Stick with one hand and came to sweep the world!
"fool!"

Lu Junyi and Yang Zaixing were so familiar with this momentum, they subconsciously reined in their horses to dodge!
Although Yao Xing instinctively felt that this stick was powerful, but he, who has always been invincible, was very confident in his martial arts and strength, so he chose to resist with the horizontal spear!

"Snapped!"

Yao Xing's gun was broken in two, and Yao Xing's men were almost dismounted by Li Yan. The mixed iron panlong stick was only a finger away from Yao Xing's head. Met Li Yan's Mixed Iron Panlong Cudgel!

Yao Xing understood that if Li Yan wanted his life, he would already be dead, so he was horrified!
Not only Yao Xing was shocked, but Lu Junyi and Yang Zaixing also swallowed a mouthful of saliva!
The guns they use are not made of steel or iron, but with hovenia wood as the core, and the strips made of hovenia wood are glued together with tung oil and isinglass, then painted with raw lacquer, and wrapped with Gebu , soaked in oil for several months, dried, then painted with raw lacquer, wrapped with Gebu cloth and soaked in oil, and repeated in this way, it took three years to complete. After it was made, it was heavy and firm, with both rigidity and softness. It can be reset instantly after bending and rebounding. The knife cuts like gold and iron.

Li Yan of this kind of gun can actually break it with a single stick, and can also accurately withdraw the remaining power!
Compete with the three of them and judge!

Li Yan took back the mixed iron panlong stick, looked at Lu Junyi, Yang Zaixing, and Yao Xing and said, "Have you three calmed down?"

Lu Junyi and Yang Zaixing nodded quickly.

Yao Xing hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Li Yan turned his horse's head, and said: "Then accompany me to have some food... With the three of you, the First Army finally looks like the number one army in the world."
