My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 172 Looking for someone alone
The dim sun casts a rosy cloud over the foothills, plains and woods.

On the official road leading to the northwest ferry.

The iron hoofs churned, and the charging cavalry group followed the white-robed general in front and let out a barbaric "whoop" sound. The cavalry in the front row directly crushed the fleeing crowd, and the human body fell forward and was caught in the iron hoofs. Crazy trampling, a series of crackling sounds of flesh tearing and bones breaking.

The Xiqiang flying cavalry behind them shouted, pulled out their short spears, and threw their horned bows towards the sky in front of them.

There were splashes of blood among the crowd that was almost in full force retreating and running away. Then the war horses swept in and drove wildly into the panicked crowd. The hastily formed soldiers and horses were knocked over.

Blood and corpses spread out from the path of the iron hoof.

The road was full of panicked and screaming soldiers. They ran desperately towards the mountains and steep slopes on the left and right. Many of them ran halfway and were shot one by one by the cavalry rear team whizzing by below with bows, arrows and short spears. Those who were lucky enough to survive would plunge into the woods and never come out again even if they were beaten to death.

The two battalions of Chendu County, with 4000 men, are considered well-equipped, but they lack war horses. If they were to form a formation blocking the middle of the road, the Xiqiang flying cavalry would not dare to charge in directly.

For the soldiers of Chendu County, they thought they were just chasing the north for a simple task, but they didn't expect that the other side actually had two thousand cavalry waiting there.

Many people who were running had a thought flashing through their minds: With these two thousand cavalry, why are you spying? Just kill them!
The broad road was full of people running away, and the northern cavalry charged over. The fleeing Chendu County soldiers crowded each other, or ran faster than their colleagues.

But then, they were all trampled to the ground by the war horses rushing behind them. They were trampled to pieces, pierced by spears, and sent flying into the air.

General Cao Zhong, who was leading two battalions of soldiers and horses, suddenly rushed into the formation. At this time, his flying horses were running wildly, and even his personal guards could not catch up. When the sound of fighting gradually disappeared, he dared to stop his horse and look back. In the direction leading to the ferry, dust filled the air, and a large number of Northland cavalry seemed to begin to turn around.

Expand the second crushing.

"The killing is coming... The soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom in the north are crossing the river to kill!"

If he hadn't been at the rear as a general, he might not have been spared. After murmuring, Cao Zhong hurriedly took the remaining few horses and galloped back to Chendu County. After all, at this time, the people over there didn't know that Yan State had crossed the river.

The dusk in the west became more intense.

The dusky crow stood on the branch and screamed silently. A man named Fang Tianling was dragged out of the forest and thrown to the ground. He was then captured and dragged away by the soldiers who rushed over.

Li Bai took a sip of wine, turned over on a horse, and leaned on the horse drunkenly. He turned his head and looked at Fang Xuejun and his group who gradually fell into sight, and he grinned.

"Princess...the king is already here!"

Then, he lay down on the horse and fell asleep, letting the horse carry him to the ferry.

The avenue was filled with the smell of blood.

This was no ordinary fight in the rivers and lakes, but a shocking mountain of corpses and seas of blood, which made Li Wangqiu and other members of the sect feel upset.

The cavalry charged back and forth twice. The corpses on the ground had their heads and bodies exploded by being stepped on, and some even had only a layer of skin left on the ground.

Li Wangqiu's hands and feet became weak after seeing them. While she pressed a senior brother's shoulder, she followed her junior sister Fang Xuejun to the ferry. From time to time, cavalrymen came over, looked at them, and then roared away.

The fighting on the battlefield was far more brutal than the killing of a family in a martial arts fight. Her body trembled and she covered her mouth and was speechless for a long time. Her fellow apprentices and friends beside her also turned pale, and occasionally said something. Shut up immediately.

Corpses were scattered all around, and they were cleared out by the soldiers. They were piled up like a mountain. Various stumps, heads, organs, and living wounded soldiers from Chendu County had their necks wiped directly, or their heads were cut off, and they were thrown away by the soldiers from the North. into a pile.

The scenes were unbearable for them.

Just as the master warned before leaving the mountain gate, when traveling in the world, don't mess with the officialdom, but don't mess with the army.

Li Wangqiu had heard that his master had experienced the immigration of Xirong people before. He used to sneer at those old things. He felt that the army was also a human being, and they were just ordinary soldiers without martial arts. How could they withstand their killing? However, What it feels like to really face the army today.

The previous thoughts were directly overturned.

"Miss Xuejun!"

When Li Wangqiu saw an attendant approaching, he got off his horse and walked to his junior sister to talk, chattering non-stop.

"Sister Xue Jun... what are you doing here in Wei with a bunch of people from all walks of life? Do you know who you are?"

"Even if Su Ting is lost, just lose it, the king will find a way!"

"...It's not like I, the younger brother, said that you...don't worry about dancing with guns and sticks on weekdays. If you come here, it's just asking for death...What if something happens to you?"

Facing Wu Zixun's scolding, Fang Xuejun pursed her lips, lowered her face, and whispered: "Stop talking... I know I was wrong..."

"Let's go, let's go, the king is right in front!"

Li Wangqiu found this strange young man to be condescending and arrogant. When he walked to the front and asked his junior sister in a low voice who this person was and why he spoke in such a tone, an iron wall appeared in his peripheral vision.

Armored shield warriors stood in two rows with large shields erect, and there were many halberds. They were all tall and round, with fierce eyes, and their faces were all bearded. There were as many as five hundred in number, and their eyes were fixed. Stare at them.

She estimated that if the man named Wu Zixun hadn't led the way, they wouldn't have been able to jump over even with their light body skills.The original ferry and the market have now been turned into military camps, with cavalry and carriages coming in and out. On the river in the distance, there are large ships frequently coming and going. Groups of soldiers and horses are coming out of the cabins and gathering on the shore. General Shout out to the entire team.

Around her, she saw more soldiers sitting on the ground in small groups, sharpening their knives, chatting, sorting out their ration bags, leather armor, shoes, and tightening their belts.

Soon, they met the King of Xia.

A large car that was more than two feet high appeared in sight. The black body was decorated with hollow carvings and was decorated with swords, guns and halberds. The curtain hung in the middle, and a large tiger-skin chair could be vaguely seen through the gap. , and the tribute table like steps at the back, filled with densely packed spiritual tablets.

On the chariot of the cart, a tall figure stood there with a majestic look.

There is also a huge man beside him, holding a halberd in both hands, and his military uniform and armor are stretched tight by the muscles all over his body.And Li Bai, who was sleeping on the horse, was already beside the cart, still sleeping soundly on the horse.

Li Wangqiu and his party were stopped by the guards and stood aside three feet away. They could not get closer without being summoned by King Xia.

At this time, a person was kneeling in front of the cart.

Li Wangqiu and others recognized that this was Fang Tianling, the chief arrester of the Chendu County Government. In the eyes of people in the world, the identity of the chief arrester would change their color immediately upon hearing it, making people dare not take him lightly, especially among the people in the green forest, he was as evasive as a tiger.

However, the other party was kneeling there at the moment, not daring to raise his head.

"You're just a little boss, I won't make things difficult for you."

On the cart, the Xia King said something, and the chief arrester Fang Tianling quickly put his head on the ground, "Thank you for not killing me."

"Ok!"

The man above just hummed, and then walked down the wooden ladder. He was dressed in luxurious armor and had the aura of gold and iron, which made Li Wangqiu and others find it difficult to breathe even three feet away.

After a moment, the Xia King spoke again.

"I have a brother who got lost in Gui County. I don't know where he went. Go back and tell the governor of Chendu County to help me look for him. If you find him, send him over. Don't lose any arms or legs." "

"Yes!" Fang Tianling touched his forehead to the ground and whispered.

"It's good that you know..." Su Chen slowly walked behind the other party with the sound of armor rings rubbing, looked at Fang Xuejun with his head drooping over there, and said softly: "...but remember, Gu is not here Discuss with you."

He patted the other person's shoulder with his hand.

"Let's go back quickly. I won't see anyone tomorrow morning... I can only ask my subordinates to help. They are very enthusiastic."

Fang Tianling's eyelids twitched wildly and he quickly said again: "Yes!"

He stood up, lowered his head, and slowly walked backwards. When he passed in front of Li Wangqiu and Fang Xuejun, he didn't even dare to look. Then he got on a horse and rushed towards the city.

"Xue-kun, come here!"

Su Chen waved to the woman who lowered her head and dared not speak. Fang Xuejun pursed her lips, moved to Su Chen with red eyes, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry..."

"I know the good intentions in your heart." Su Chen dusted her body, took the handkerchief from Wu Zixun, and wiped the woman's face, "You have done your filial piety for me, to save Guo Jia, and to stand up for Su Ting, You are anxious, these are all good intentions, I don’t blame you for this. Children of Jianghu, it is right to be loyal and heroic in your heart... But your status is different, do you understand? "

The woman lowered her head and nodded.

"There is no one available in Ding'an City. You can first ask the Jianghu people you recruited to come over to spy on the situation. You can also sit in the inn in the small town of Zhangzhou and discuss countermeasures with Guo Jia. This is what you do, rather than risking your life. You ran here in a daze and were chased around like dogs. If Pei Min and Li Bai hadn't arrived first, would you have been able to get out of Chendu County safely?"

Su Chen's voice was stern at this time, and he looked towards Li Wangqiu: "These people you brought will die with you because of your random command. You have been in and out of the military camp with me for a while, and you should know that people must be used in The right place.”

"I understand my mistake." Fang Xuejun shed tears. She took Su Chen's hand and shook it gently, "From now on, if I don't do something stupid... I will listen to you... Don't be angry with me in your heart."

"Don't worry, go to the inn here to rest and change your clothes."

Su Chen smiled and asked Wu Zixun to take her, Li Wangqiu and others away.Fang Xuejun knew that the man must still be angry, so he pursed his lips and looked back in three steps. As soon as they left the range of the shield warriors, they heard Su Chen's voice.

"Fellow Xiliang men, do you still remember what the military camp in Changchuan County told you?"

The river breeze blew the raised flags, and the Xiliang soldiers sitting and lying around had stood up and looked at King Xia who was getting on the cart.

"Gu said that there are not many enemies in the world who are your opponents. We swept across Dayan and defeated Xirong. Now Gu has led you across the Hun River to let the people and army of Wei know that the strong troops in the north should be strengthened. How to make the enemy fear!"

Su Chen looked at the soldiers who were gathering in the wide area one after another, and said slowly, "It doesn't matter whether they bring Su Ting or not! We..."

"...Just do it!"
