Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 319 Hunting "Dogs"

Zhao Mu looked at the camp in the distance and asked, "Your Majesty, when will the Liao soldiers usually come to call for formation during this period?"

King Zhongxiao replied: "It's probably around noon, after lunch. Sometimes it may be earlier, sometimes it may be later."

Zhao Mu looked up at the sun in the sky. It was around noon now.

Zhao Mu asked: "Are the Liao soldiers coming to call for formation today?"

King Zhongxiao shook his head and said: "Not yet, but if you calculate the time, it should be there soon."

While they were talking, everyone on the city wall saw the gate of the Liao army camp slowly opening. I saw several fast horses galloping towards Xiongzhou Pass.

King Zhongxiao pointed to the Liao soldiers rushing towards him and said, "Here they come! The ones who called the formation are here today!"

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "Haha, good time!"

Zhao Mu then asked: "By the way, Prince Zhongxiao! How many cavalry are there in Xiongzhou Pass now? This is an important border town, and the Song army stationed locally should also have a lot of cavalry."

At this time, the vanguard of the Liao Kingdom's formation was about to arrive at Xiongzhou City. Zhao Mu looked at them and said: "It's very simple. Temporarily transfer them all to my command, and form them together with the elite cavalry brought by me." , as long as my king’s elite cavalry pursues the retreating Liao soldiers, they will also catch up and kill them on the spot when they see the retreat. There is no need to do other things.”

This small group of Liao soldiers has a lot of people, more than twenty people.

Hu Yanjin also stared at the Liao soldiers who were about to arrive and said, "Look what I'm going to do? You and I wanted to go together. These rabbits came to your door by themselves, how could I let them go?"

After being reprimanded by Hu Yanjin, King Zhongxiao couldn't help but look embarrassed, and then said: "It's just that most of these people are newly recruited and do not have strong combat capabilities. They are simply incomparable to the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom. Therefore. It’s not suitable to fight it head-on.”

After Zhao Mu finished speaking, he counted the Liao cavalry team that came to call for formation.

Zhao Mu looked back at her.

Zhao Mu looked back at King Zhongxiao and asked, "Just what?"

King Zhongxiao looked at his daughter's eyes, then smiled awkwardly and said: "Of course it will happen, of course it will. I just don't know what King Zhongshan wants them to do?"

Zhao Mu waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I don't care how good these people are in fighting. As long as they can ride a horse and rush up to chase down the defeated Liao army." After that, Zhao Mu looked to King Zhongxiao and said, "They should be able to do this."

Ever since she came out with Zhao Mu, Hu Yanjin has always been showing off her handsome men's clothes. At this time, Hu Yanjin was carrying a horned bow and looked quite handsome in men's clothing.

Hu Yanjin handed a horn bow to Zhao Mu, and then placed a cage of feather arrows between the two of them.

After saying that, Zhao Mu stretched out his hand.

However, the person who handed Zhao Mu the long bow was not A'Zhu, but Hu Yanjin.

Zhao Mu then said: "A'Zhu! Get me a hard bow and a cage of arrows."

Hu Yanjin also said at this time: "Yes, Father, how long has it been? How about you finish what you have to say in one breath? You are still talking about it now!"

King Zhongxiao replied: "I have counted them. Not counting those who have been transferred elsewhere, there are still five thousand cavalry in Xiongzhou Pass. It's just..."

Zhao Mu smiled and said nothing.

At this time, Qiao Feng said: "Brother Xian, when the two armies are facing each other, the soldiers calling the formation are like envoys. The two countries are fighting without killing the envoys. If we shoot the soldiers calling the formation on the other side, I am afraid we will anger these Liao people. Xian. My brother has said before that he wants to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron. If this move angers the Liao Kingdom and the other party launches a large-scale attack, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to compete."

Zhao Mu said with a smile: "Brother, you are too worried. Since ancient times, when two armies have been fighting against each other, envoys will hold a staff to show their identity. Without a staff, if they come like this wearing armor and fighting, they are enemies." The two were talking. In the meantime, the cavalry squad called by the Liao soldiers had arrived under the city gate. They were very unscrupulous, completely within the range of the archers, and seemed not to take the soldiers of the Song Dynasty seriously.

At this time, a Liao soldier shouted: "Barbarians of the Southern Dynasty! Quickly open the city gate and surrender! I, the Emperor of Liao, are benevolent and will not kill anyone who takes the initiative to surrender. Otherwise, after the city is broken, chickens and dogs will not be killed."

Before he finished speaking, he only heard a "swish" sound and a sharp arrow flew towards him.

The arrow was swift and sharp, and accurately hit his forehead. The arrow stuck directly into his forehead, and before he could finish his words, he fell directly from his horse.

"Noisy!"

However, this arrow was not shot by Zhao Mu, but by Hu Yanjin. Upon seeing this, several other people quickly ran away, but they were too close to the city wall. Hu Yanjin drew his bow and drew arrows again, only to hear a few "swish, swish, swish" sounds piercing the air. Several arrows accurately hit the fleeing Liao soldiers.

In just a moment, five or six people had died under Hu Yanjin's arrows.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Mu praised: "I really didn't realize that Princess Huyan actually has such abilities."

Hu Yanjin's sharp eyes like an eagle were always staring at the fleeing Liao soldiers. Even if these Liao soldiers scattered and fled, they could not avoid Hu Yanjin's arrows.

While Hu Yanjin was hunting down the provocative Liao soldiers like a hunter, he said: "This is nothing. Both my Huyan family and the Yang family have been generals for generations. I was born in a general family, and the Six Arts of a Gentleman is a compulsory course for the children of the family. Of course I am no exception." During the conversation, two more Liao soldiers were shot off their horses.

Qiao Feng praised: "Princess Huyan is really a hero among women. Yang Yanqi, who was one of the female generals of the Yang family, and Mu Guiying may not be as good as this."

Hu Yanjin smiled and said: "I don't dare to compare with General Yang and Marshal Mu. I just can't embarrass the family."

After hearing what his daughter said, King Zhongxiao was quite pleased.

Hu Yanjin was already very good at archery. In addition, she studied under Su Xinghe and learned from Su Xinghe the excellent internal skills of Xiaoyao Sect to strengthen her body.

With the addition of deep internal strength, her arrows can be sharper and shoot further.

Not long after, the team of twenty people had been killed by Hu Yanjin, leaving only a few scattered people. When only two people were shot, Hu Yanjin took the arrow back.

Zhao Mu asked: "What's wrong? Huyan County has taken the initiative to show compassion?"

Hu Yanjin said: "Of course not, it's just that they were too far away and they escaped. Forget it, let them go!" There was a lot of resentment in Hu Yanjin's words.

Zhao Mu just sneered when he heard this.

Then Zhao Mu also drew his bow and drew an arrow. He activated Xiaoyao Yufeng's unique skill, and everyone felt a weak breeze passing by them.

Qiao Feng sensed that Zhao Mu's internal energy was constantly condensing on the arrow.

The next moment, Zhao Mu shot out the arrow attached to the wind. And Zhao Mu didn't waste any time. The next moment, the second sharp arrow shot out according to this method again.

And those two sharp arrows shot out of the air quickly, and the sound of piercing the air was endless. When the war horses ran, the smoke screen formed by the dust was instantly penetrated by these two sharp arrows, making two big holes.

And those two sharp arrows went straight towards the two fleeing Liao soldiers like maggots on the tarsus.

The two men ran out of the range of the arrows, and while they were secretly rejoicing, they heard the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air from behind.

A sound like a crane piercing the air resounded in the ears, and the next moment the two of them were pierced through the chests by a sharp arrow, and they were immediately infuriated on the spot.
