Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 470: Precarious

Mi Huan nodded slightly, but her expression never relaxed, and she glanced out from time to time.

Huang Zu came in a hurry with two thousand soldiers, when suddenly there was a yell in front of him, and he saw a big man standing in the middle of the road, holding a weapon he didn't recognize.

"Kill!" Huang Zu didn't hesitate.

The soldiers were slightly out of breath after the continuous rush, but after all, there was only one person on the other side, so they all drew their swords and stepped forward.

Hundreds of men in black suddenly rushed out from both sides of the road, armed with crossbow arrows. Jiang Xia's army suffered heavy losses and dozens of people were killed or injured.

Huang Zu said coldly: "The other party is only a few hundred people. Our army has 2000 people. If you kill a man in black, you will be rewarded five thousand."

With such a reward, the fear in the soldiers' hearts turned into strength. The number of people in black was small. Although nearly a hundred Jiangxia soldiers died under the surprise attack, they were nothing to fear. Five thousand dollars was enough for the soldiers to improve the poor life of their families. up.

A whistle sounded, and the men in black flashed into the jungle on both sides of the road. After tossing and turning, they disappeared without a trace. If it weren't for the soldiers lying on the ground crying, Huang Zu even doubted whether these men in black had appeared before, a wave A feeling of coldness surged into his heart. These people are definitely not ordinary people. They are well-trained. At a glance, the crossbow bolts used can be distinguished by elite soldiers. However, the death of his only beloved son did not make him feel timid at all. .

Huang Zu immediately rolled off his horse, and a crossbow arrow pierced a cavalry behind Huang Zu.

"Don't chase!" Huang Zu stopped him. Years of experience in marching and fighting made his heart calm down a little. The man in black dared to be so arrogant, so he must have something to rely on. At this time, it was getting dark and the other party hid in the forest. There will inevitably be an ambush.

"A cowardly person who only knows how to sneak attack is not a hero." Huang Zu roared loudly.

The entire battlefield was extremely silent, there was not a single man in black, even the man in black who had appeared arrogantly in front of the army before disappeared.

Seeing that it didn't work, Huang Zu ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows continuously into the forest, intending to force the man in black out, but he almost finished shooting the arrows, and there was no sign of the man in black.

Unknown death is the most terrifying. In a fight, one side lost more than a hundred people, but only saw the opponent's figure. Except for the crossbow arrows, there was no hair left. Are the two sides at the same level?

Huang Zu also thought of retreating, but the pain of losing his beloved son made him "go ahead!" like a raging lion. These men in black must be protecting the carriage, as long as they find the carriage, the men in black will be defeated.

The sound of birdsong suddenly sounded, and men in black appeared on the trees on both sides of the road. After shooting out the crossbow arrows in their hands, they hid in the forest again.

Having lost dozens of soldiers, Huang Zu was a little out of breath, but he still couldn't find the other party's trace, "Just go out of this forest." Huang Zu comforted himself.

"Order the soldiers of all ministries to be vigilant, and attack immediately if they find the enemy!" Huang Zu forced himself to calm down and ordered.

The army was advancing vigilantly on the road, but soldiers in the rear continued to disappear. Under the dark sky, the men in black were like deadly ghosts, constantly killing the lives of one soldier after another.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, at such a slow marching speed, Huang Zu still did not get out of this deadly forest.

Zhang Xiu seemed a little impatient in the dark, two bunches of torches suddenly appeared in front of the army, which was very obvious in the dark sky.

In the woods, there was a rustling sound, and countless men in black rushed out from both sides of the army, fighting hand to hand. The bows and arrows in the hands of Jiang Xia soldiers had lost their effect, often before the archers gave up their bows and arrows. What they faced was a lifeless triangular army thorn, a smear of blood, and a wail. The soldier who fell to the ground held his neck that was bleeding continuously and struggled in pain.

The men in black made extremely sharp moves, killing them all with one move. The killing methods were clean and neat. Wherever they passed, it was like locusts crossing the border. It was difficult for Jiangxia soldiers to resist.

There is such an enemy in the dark night, Huang Zu is afraid, he has never seen such an army hidden in the darkness.

"Well-trained, killing people without blinking an eye." Huang Zu suddenly thought of these two words. Compared with the men in black, they are as strong as the Jiangdong Army, and they look so cute. At least when the Jiangdong Army attacked the city, the soldiers could see There is indeed a person there, and these men in black are like ghosts in the dark night, they will come to you from time to time, and if you accidentally fall behind, they will silently climb up to you with a triangular army thorn neck.

Jiang Xia's army was in chaos immediately. Huang Zu had a high prestige in the army, so he hurriedly organized soldiers to resist, surrounded them, and temporarily resisted the attack of the men in black.

Seeing this, the man in black retreated slowly, and no one dared to step forward to pursue him.

The field is densely packed with corpses of Jiangxia soldiers. None of the soldiers saw a man in black fall down. These people are not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also have superhuman evasion skills. They seem to know how you will attack and will always dodge beforehand. Open, occasionally there are one or two injured, and they will retreat quickly.

Seeing the man in black retreating, Huang Zu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he never dared to mention the matter of chasing the carriage again, and carefully led the army back the same way, leaving hundreds of dead soldiers behind.

When Jia Rong heard Zhang Xiu's report, he said indifferently: "Continue on your way, I'm still waiting to return to Hangu Pass, I heard that the armies of the princes are so rampant recently that they suppressed the army of Hangu Pass. "

Changsha is a medium-sized county in Jingzhou. The people under its rule can’t talk about living and working in peace and prosperity, but there is no serious danger to their lives. As long as they go home as soon as possible after dark, close the door of the house and go out where ordinary people dare not go. If you live in a place where you live, you will be able to live a stable life. Although the life is a bit colder, it is still much better than the people in other places who cannot eat enough.

Jia Rong lived in an ordinary family that night. There were only two elderly people in the family, and the house was a little dilapidated.

When guests come from far away, the old man will take out the good wine that he usually cherishes and is reluctant to drink. No matter how poor the family is, the host will never feel reluctant to give up the guests. This is also the simplicity of the ancients.

"You're being polite, old man. The three of us came from a long way. We only came here to bother you because it was already dark. Please forgive me, old man." Jia Rong said politely, but it was difficult to move his body, so he could only half lean on Mi Huan's arms. In front of the two old men, Mi Huan seemed very embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's not easy to go out and be alone, so hurry up and eat some food and have a good night's rest." The old man said sincerely.

In front of such simple people, Jia Rong felt very comfortable all over his body. He had seen too many intrigues in the officialdom, bloody battlefields, and suddenly had such a life. As well as the brothers in the army, this kind of thinking has been suppressed. From the moment they enter the battlefield and officialdom, it means that they will never die, become a prince, and choose to wash their hands in the golden basin. It is absolutely impossible. You can stand on the top, until no one dares to challenge you in the whole world.

When eating, the old man is not willing to add vegetables, these are things that are usually reluctant to eat at home.

After a dinner, they had a very harmonious meal. Jia Rong explained the situation of the old man one by one as if chatting. The old man's two children had all joined the army, and they were in the Changsha army. Proud capital, being able to be an official in an ordinary village in the backcountry is an incomparably great honor in their eyes.

"Zhao Tu, Zhao Min, very simple name." Jia Rong whispered softly.

The night in the village was exceptionally quiet. Jia Rong was lying in the carriage, quietly thinking about what happened in Chang'an and how to deal with it after returning.

"Line up, line up, don't worry, the adults will treat your illness." A soldier just ordered Jia Rong to line up, and said to the anxious people.

After Jia Rong looked carefully, he found that there were not only soldiers and civilians in the team, but also businessmen and officials. These people obeyed the order and lined up to see a doctor. Those who follow the order to see a doctor will not only be expelled from Changsha, but the genius doctor will no longer treat him. Many people who want to challenge this rule have been expelled from Changsha.

The miracle doctor is Zhang Ji, the prefect of Changsha. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, he does not deal with official business. , can only acquiesce.

Jia Rong said: "It seems that this prefect Zhang is really an extraordinary person, so feel free to line up."

"My lord, judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it won't be our turn until dark." Zhang Xiu said anxiously.

"As a general, no matter what the situation is, you must avoid impetuousness, otherwise how will you command the three armies." Jia Rong said.

Zhang Xiu Nuonuo said yes, and stepped aside.

"Go and find out if you have the opportunity to meet this genius doctor directly. Don't act recklessly. If you are responsible for offending the genius doctor, you will not be forgiven lightly." If Zhang Xiu doesn't recover for a day, he won't be able to feel completely at ease.

Jia Rong shook his head lightly, secretly agreeing to Zhang Xiu's actions, he could not move his limbs, and he was also very anxious, but in front of his subordinates, he naturally had to behave calmly.

I don't know what Zhang Xiu said, Zhang Ji, who was upright in the past, opened the back door and let Jia Rong go in for treatment.

It turned out that after Zhang Xiu saw Zhang Ji, he saluted and said: "Prefect Zhang, my son is in critical condition, and I hope the prefect can treat the illness in advance."

Zhang Ji immediately refused, he did not know how many people like this he had encountered, he thought he had a good background, but he felt superior to others and bullied the common people.

Zhang Xiu sneered and said, "Does Governor Zhang have any family members?"

Zhang Ji had naturally received such threats in the past and ignored them.
