A knife in love

Chapter 701

Ever since Yang Ye led the army to fight, although he has suffered defeats, he has never been in a state of chaos. He has never seen such a strange situation.He looked up at the dark soldiers and horses 67 feet away, then turned his head to look at the skull in Yang Yansi's hand, pondered for a moment, and then said to Yang Yanzhao: "Yanzhao, how do you think we should deal with it?"

Yang Yanzhao said in a deep voice: "Except for a few generals, most of the enemies are infantry. Seeing how they chased Mr. Gao just now, the advance is not very fast. We came here this time to check the movements of the Song army. It is still impossible to determine the origin of the army on the opposite side."

When Yang Yanzhao said this, he turned his head to look at the people hiding behind the stone pillars of the archway, and then continued: "My child thought that Daddy and the gentlemen left here as soon as possible, and Yansi and I stayed here for the time being, waiting to find out who the troops are. After the origin of the story, we will meet up with Daddy again."

Yang Ye knew that Yang Yanzhao wanted to leave a divorce with Yang Yansi so that everyone could escape.He shook his head and said: "The three of us, father and son, went to Gaoping to inspect the military situation. Is there any reason to leave the two of you behind while I go first? If I really go back to Jinyang alone, I'm afraid your mother won't let me go." I'm in the gate."

When he said this, a smile appeared on his resolute face.Standing by the side, Li Qiufeng had been checking the feathered arrows in his hand over and over again. Even if Yang Yansi showed his prestige in front of the battle, beheaded the enemy general, and took back the skull, he didn't pay much attention to it.It's just that when Yang Ye spoke at this time, Li Qiufeng thought in his heart that this old general must have been a young hero who was fearless when he was young.

Seeing that the Yang family father and son were still hesitant, the red robed man was anxious and urged everyone to leave as soon as possible.Li Qiufeng suddenly said: "Old General Yang, you two young masters, the younger generation already knows the origin of the troops on the opposite side."

When he said this, both Yang Ye and Yang Yanzhao were taken aback.Yang Yansi had suffered under Li Qiufeng's knife, and he always had a grudge against him.Hearing that he knew the origin of the enemy army at this time, he was naturally dissatisfied, and immediately squinted at Li Qiufeng, and said with a sneer: "You didn't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, how could you know their origin?"

Li Qiufeng ignored him, walked quickly to Yang Ye's horse, handed the feathered arrow held in his left hand to Yang Ye, and said, "Old General Yang, you might as well take a look at the carvings on the shaft of this arrow." what."

Yang Ye took the feathered arrow, only to see a line of extremely thin small characters engraved on the shaft.He carefully identified the five characters "Zuoshu Gentleman Yuanliang" engraved in seal characters on the shaft of the arrow.The arrowhead was cast into a rhombus shape, shining with a cold light, obviously extremely sharp.

Li Qiufeng said: "Old General Yang has experienced hundreds of battles and is proficient in the art of war. He is very familiar with the military affairs of the previous dynasty. The arrow shaft engraving began in Qin State. At that time, the Qin army was fierce and famous all over the world. Since Shang Yang's reform, the Qin State army has been changed. In this system, there are divisions who are responsible for making weapons. Officials, big and small, perform their own duties, and the control is extremely strict. And the names of the officials in charge, the heads of various ministries, and even the craftsmen are engraved on the arrow shafts. If there is a mistake in the future, they can be held accountable. Rewards and punishments made the Qin army invincible in the world."

Yang Ye nodded and said: "Your Excellency's words are correct. After the Qin Dynasty, the Han and Tang dynasties also used the same system, which made the Han army and Tang army coercive and famous all over the world. As for the Three Kingdoms and Two Jins, either the world Chaos, lack of supplies, or the emperor's incompetence, chaos in the court, and the manufacture of weapons and weapons, this system was not adopted, which greatly reduced the strength of the army and was bullied by foreigners."

Li Qiufeng nodded and said, "Look, Old General Yang, there are five seal characters engraved on the shaft of this arrow. I don't read much, so I didn't know these characters at first. Fortunately, I saw it when I was on duty in Jinyiwei. For similar arrows, I asked the book office of the Jinyiwei archives for advice, and then I learned some seal characters. According to the book office, the word "Zuo Shu" refers to the Zuo Shu chief of the Qin State, who was in charge of casting weapons. The highest officer. The word "gentry" below it is the name of the workshop owner who is specifically responsible for making arrows. In Qin Dynasty, the workshop owner is generally called a worker. The subsequent "Yuan" is the name of the temporary worker in the workshop. The last one "Quantity" is the name of the craftsman who made this arrow shaft. Qin people have to go through these four levels to make an arrow shaft, and the control is extremely strict. It is precisely because of this that the Qin army's military advantage is unmatched."

Yang Ye was a little surprised when he heard Li Qiufeng's eloquent talk, and said, "Jinyiwei? What is Jinyiwei?"

Li Qiufeng has never explained to the Yang family father and son the matter of Song's death and Ming Xing, because this matter involves too much, if it is said, the Yang family father and son will definitely go crazy.At this time, the enemy is at hand, how can I explain this matter in detail?Therefore, Li Qiufeng said: "General Yang, this matter is a long story. If there is a chance in the future, this junior should explain it to General Yang in detail. The most important thing right now is to get out of the predicament, and don't fall into the hands of these skeletons." .”

Only then did Yang Ye suddenly realize that even though he had experienced hundreds of battles, he was also terrified, and said in a trembling voice, "You mean that the army facing us, is, the Qin army can't do it?"

Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice, "That's right. If the younger generation's guess is correct, this army should be the Qin Army soldiers who died in Changping..."

Before he finished speaking, not only Yang Ye's complexion changed drastically, but Yang Yanzhao's heart was also shaken, and he couldn't help but said: "This, how is this possible?"

Li Qiufeng said: "There are no ghosts in the world, but we are now being plotted and fell into a trap. What we see at this time may not be real. If we are not careful, it is very likely that people will kill us." Take advantage. These skeletons are just some walking corpses, killing them is useless, it is better to escape from this place as soon as possible, and try to find out the people who plot against us, so as to escape from danger."

After hearing this, Yang Ye didn't answer, jumped off his horse, and pulled out five or six feathered arrows from the ground to check them one by one.Sure enough, there are small characters engraved on the shaft and arrowhead of each feather arrow, which is undoubtedly a weapon of the Qin army.Yang Ye raised his head, looked at Li Qiufeng and said, "This is really seeing a ghost in broad daylight!"

Li Qiufeng said: "Old General Yang, let's leave here as soon as possible. The two young masters don't need to stay here, because this army is not the Song army at all. Although the Song Dynasty is determined to destroy the Han State, it will be a few years later. , Old General Yang doesn’t have to worry.”

Hearing what he said so decisively, the Yang family father and son were a little surprised.Yang Yansi even thought to himself, this guy is very powerful, and he keeps speaking for the state of song, could it be that the elaboration sent by the state of song can't do it?

At this moment, a loud drumbeat was suddenly heard in the opposite army formation.After a long battle, Yang Ye's expression changed drastically after hearing the drumbeat, and he said, "No, they are about to attack."

The man in red couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and ran towards the town.Li Qiufeng said anxiously: "Old General Yang, we can't wait any longer. Let's go!"

Although Yang Ye still had some hesitation in his heart, he also knew that no matter what Li Qiufeng said was true or not, the father and son of the Yang family would definitely not be able to withstand the enemy's attack.The original purpose of this trip was to check the status of the Song army, not to fight the enemy, so he nodded and said: "Everyone go first, we will leave after the father and son die."

At this time, the general who had been shot by Yang Ye under his horse swung his sword in his right hand, and the soldiers behind him began to approach.Tens of thousands of people stepped forward together, the sound of their footsteps was like thunder, and the ground under their feet seemed to tremble slightly.Li Qiufeng and the others saw that the situation was not good, and rushed to the town, the Yang family father and son stayed behind, and the three of them rode on horseback and slowly retreated into the archway.

Situ Qiao caught up with Li Qiufeng, saw the red-robed man leading the way, and hurried to the town, followed by Monk Xuanji, Sun Guangming and Su Yan followed behind Monk Xuanji, three or four feet away from Li Qiufeng and Situ Qiao the distance.Situ Qiao lowered his voice and told about Sun Guangming and Su Yan burying things around the archway just now. Li Qiufeng said: "The situation is weird at this time. Even if they make any changes, there will be no internal strife at this critical moment. We just You have to deal with it carefully, and you won't have any trouble."

Situ Qiao was still worried, and was about to say more, when seeing Li Qiufeng hurried forward, he didn't seem to care about his worries.He had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, and thought to himself: "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of your eyes. You are so bold and reckless, you must suffer a lot."

Everyone rushed forward in a hurry.The town is only more than a hundred zhang long, and the crowd ran with all their might, and within a short time, they had already seen the end of the town.From a distance, there seems to be a huge forest outside the town, but it is not very clear.

Li Qiufeng held the saber in his right hand, and ran forward while paying attention to the situation on the left and right.The gates of the houses with white walls and black tiles on both sides were closed tightly and there was no sound.Because the regulations and sizes of these houses are exactly the same, running forward on this road seems to be standing still, and it feels like this road will never end in a trance.

Li Qiufeng walked forward for half a stick of incense, suddenly his heart trembled, and he thought to himself that with everyone's lightness skills, if he rushed down this way, he might have escaped five or six miles away.Just now, I clearly saw that the house with white walls and black tiles had come to an end, and I could vaguely see the woods outside the town. Why did I still not leave the town after walking for so long?

At this moment, the red-robed man stopped suddenly, drew out his long sword with his right hand, looked around for a moment, then suddenly turned his head, and said to everyone with a frightened expression: "This road seems to be getting longer and longer. What the hell is going on here?!"

Monk Xuanji also noticed that the situation was different. He first looked to the left and right, then put his hands together, and said: "Gao Benefactor is right. It stands to reason that we should have left the town at this time. Why does this road seem to have no end? Same?"

Sun Guangming and Su Yan looked around, but did not speak.Situ Qiao said: "Damn it, maybe this town is also a trap. Someone deliberately lured skeleton soldiers and forced us into this town. After teasing us to the point of exhaustion, we will be killed one by one!"

Li Qiufeng raised his eyes and looked around, but saw that the front and back were the same, and the woods outside the town that could be vaguely seen before had disappeared.He knew that someone must be playing tricks, but it happened in a hurry, and he couldn't do anything about it.Just as he was anxious, he heard the sound of horseshoes, but it was the father and son of the Yang family who followed.Yang Yansi walked in the front on horseback, he was quite surprised when he saw the crowd stopped, and said: "It seems that we are about to leave the town, why don't you leave?"
