Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Jia Rong was no longer polite, dodging a knife from a soldier, and slashed at the soldier's head with a horizontal sword. The green sword cut the iron like mud, and the soldier's head was cut off immediately, a stream of blood Spraying on the roof, blood was sprinkled on everyone in the house, and the roof also turned bloody.

After a few rounds, Jia Rong brought down a few more soldiers. At this time, Jia Rong was like a demon king from hell, covered in blood all over his body.

The soldiers under Li Bing no longer dared to rush forward, and retreated to the door in fear.

Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes came, and more than a hundred cavalry rushed over.

When approaching the study room, he got off his horse neatly and surrounded the soldiers. Guo Si stepped forward and shouted: "Put down your weapon."

Looking at the soldiers who were staring at them and the weapons in their hands, those soldiers hurriedly dropped the weapons in their hands on the ground, and looked at the sudden group of cavalry in horror.

It turned out that the cavalry led by Jia Rong rushed over. Jia Rong walked too fast, they didn't keep up, and Jia Rong disappeared after entering the city. The study is coming.

Seeing Jia Rong coming out covered in blood, Guo Si and Jiang Yu hurried forward, seeing that Jia Rong was safe, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Guo Si was not a good man or a believer, even though he didn't understand what happened, he could see the confusion, and said to the cavalry: "These people dare to attack your general, hit me hard." Guo Si said After that, he went to Li Bing who was hiding aside, kicked him to the ground, and beat him severely.

When these soldiers heard this, they couldn't be polite. Jia Rong was the person they respected the most, and they tried their best to kick these soldiers.

After a while, the soldiers who had been arrogant to Jia Rong just now were all beaten to the ground, howling.

Jia Rong walked up to the stunned Magistrate Li and asked in a low voice, "Is it okay to say? Otherwise, I don't mind cutting off your head."

County Magistrate Li doesn't have any pretensions, the sudden change of the situation has already made him as honest as his grandson; County Magistrate Li told Jia Rong all the information he knew that Lijiacun was robbed by bandits in a trembling voice, He looked at Jia Rong from time to time, for fear that Jia Rong would kill him if he got angry.

Before Jia Rong could speak, Li Hu on the side threw his foot at Li County Magistrate and cursed: "Hey, how did you become a county magistrate? I'll see if I don't kill you." After finishing speaking, he drew his sword and went I want to cut it off to the magistrate Li.

After hearing what Magistrate Li said, the cavalry also punched and kicked the soldiers who were beaten down beside them as if venting their anger.

Guo Bang grabbed Li Hu and said, "Don't be reckless."

County magistrate Li struggled to get up from the ground, and pleaded in a low voice: "Those bandits are too powerful. I don't have enough troops, so I can't do anything to them."

After Jia Rong listened to County Magistrate Li's talk about what had happened to Li's Village, his ignorance and karma were ablaze, and his right hand holding the Qingzhi sword also turned white due to excessive force.

Jia Rong tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and asked, "Where are those bandits?"

County Magistrate Li hurriedly replied, "It's at Hutou Mountain."

Jia Rong kicked the magistrate Li, who had just stood firm, to the ground again, and said angrily: "If you dare to fish the common people in the future, I will come back and take your head."

After finishing speaking, Jia Rong yelled at the cavalry he had brought: "Let's go to Hutou Mountain."

Looking at Jia Rong who was burning with anger, Guo Bang shook his head, walked up to Li County Magistrate, whose mouth was twitching, and asked: "How many bandits are there in Hutou Mountain, and how strong are they?"

Li County Magistrate was afraid that Guo Si would do this to him again, so he hurriedly replied: "There are about [-] bandits in Hutou Mountain, all of whom are extremely vicious. They usually make a living by robbing houses and passers-by. .”

After listening to Guo Si, he was relieved. There should be more than 70 people, and his own more than 100 people should not be a problem, so he hurriedly got on his horse and followed.

It turned out that a year ago, a group of bandits gathered on Hutou Mountain, more than a dozen miles away from Lijia Village. They usually ransacked the village and plundered the women back to the village. Many women died unwilling to endure the humiliation; The best way to describe it is that since there are a lot of them, and they are all murderous murderers, the cowardly magistrate Li dare not provoke them, and it is too late to avoid them.

According to Li County Magistrate, after these bandits ransacked Lijia Village, there was no one alive in the village.

A group of more than a hundred people rode war horses and galloped towards Hutou Mountain. The mountain road was rugged, and riding a war horse was cumbersome. The group stopped in a small forest about five miles away from Hutou Mountain.

Continuous running around for a day, not to mention war horses, even people can't bear it, but the angry Jia Rong couldn't care so much. It was only after Guo Bang's repeated persuasion that Jia Rong agreed to rest in this forest for a while.

The cavalry galloping in the cold wind had a rest, constantly rubbing their frozen hands, and the war horses also kept neighing in the cold wind, as if to vent their dissatisfaction.

After dismounting, Jia Rong sat alone on the snow in the forest and stroked the Qingzhi sword, as if comforting it quietly.

Guo Si came to Jia Rong and sat down, patted Jia Rong on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, don't be too sad, I understand how you feel at this time."

Jia Rong just stroked the Qingzhi sword repeatedly, full of tenderness, suddenly Jia Rong held the Qingzhi sword tightly, and let out a hysterical roar from his throat: "Whoever hurts my relatives must die!"

"Those bandits must die, and the second brother should consider the overall situation. I have no objection to you seeking revenge from the bandits. You are a bloody man; but you are now a general in command, and you should learn to put one thing first in everything. Face it calmly, you see that you have led more than a hundred soldiers to rush around for a whole day, the soldiers are exhausted, and you are still thinking about going to the mountain to take revenge tonight, you should be responsible for the lives of the soldiers!" Guo Si whispered Persuade.

Jia Rong retorted: "No, I can't bear it, I can't wait for a moment, I really can't bear those bandits living in the world for a while longer."

"Don't worry, I won't force my soldiers. This is my private matter. Even if they don't want to go, I will go to Hutou Mountain alone to avenge Xiu'er and the people in Lijia Village!" Jia Rong growled. .

Looking at Jia Rong's distorted face due to excitement, Guo Si continued to persuade: "Second brother, how can you say such reckless words at this time, is it possible that elder brother is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he is only trying to show his bravery. The situation is unknown, if you unfortunately died in the hands of those bandits, would you be worthy of Xiu'er under the Nine Springs, the soldiers who followed you behind you, and your parents?" After finishing speaking, Guo Si gave Jia Ronglai a stern hand. punched.

After Guo Bang's repeated persuasion, Jia Rong's mood has calmed down a lot. Yes, he is not alone now. Not only does he bear the hatred of Xiu'er, but he also shoulders the responsibility of the soldiers behind him. These soldiers respect him and obey him. , I should not play with their lives.

Jia Rong nodded gratefully to Guo Bang, then got up and went to the resting place of the soldiers.

The soldiers who were resting consciously approached Jia Rong and looked at Jia Rong quietly.

Jia Rong said slowly: "The Li family village was ransacked and everyone in the village was killed. Everyone has heard about it. I decided to set off for Hutou Mountain tomorrow."

"Of course, this is just my personal hatred. I won't force any of you. It's okay if you don't want to go. You are still my soldier, and I won't do anything to you because of it." Jia Rong continued.

As soon as Jia Rong finished speaking, Jiang Yu stood up immediately, and said with firm eyes, "Jiang Yu swears to follow the general to the death, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, Jiang Yu will never back down."

More than a hundred soldiers also roared in a low voice: "I will follow the general to the death."

Seeing this scene, Guo Si in the distance also nodded.

A gratified smile appeared on Jia Rong's face, and he said, "You are all my good brothers!"

The soldiers were also very excited. Jia Rong has always been someone they respect and admire, but now their general treats them as brothers. Just this alone is worth fighting for Jia Rong.

Jia Rong paced and thought for a long time, then said slowly but firmly: "At the fifth watch, people are most sleepy. We will set off at the fourth watch tomorrow to head to Hutou Mountain to take revenge!"

All the soldiers roared in unison: "Revenge! Revenge!"

"Everyone go to bed early!" After finishing speaking, Jia Rong turned and left.

The soldiers looked at the lonely figure of the general who had been instructing them in training, thinking of everything for them, chatting with them, caring about them, and thinking about the brutal murder of the general's beloved woman, many soldiers secretly clenched their hands. fist.

In winter, the nights in the mountains were extremely cold. In order not to expose them, they didn't even light a bonfire, but these soldiers didn't complain, and they hugged each other to rest in groups of three or four.

Jia Rong sat quietly on a high ground, letting the north wind blow on his face, looking at the shadowy mountains under the moonlight, Jia Rong couldn't help thinking of Xiu'er, the one who was always shy and blushing.

He didn't even know when Li Li, Li Hu, and Li Shun came to his side.

Shaking his drowsy head, Jia Rong got up and was about to leave when he saw the seven people around him.

Jia Rong asked in surprise: "When did you come? Why don't you rest?"

"We have been here for a long time and can't sleep." Li Shun said.

Jia Rong moved his slightly numb joints and said, "I know you are feeling uncomfortable. When something like this happens, I feel as much hatred in my heart as you do."

"Although I lived in Lijia Village for a short time, I have always regarded Lijia Village as my home." Jia Rong continued.

Li Hu said with red eyes: "Brother Jia, we must avenge them!"

Ask for red and ask for a reward!Your support is the driving force for the progress of cavalry!
