This Tabu Ye, who was valued by Xiao Haohu, was the bearded man that Guo Ning killed when he first woke up from his injury that day.
Not only was Ta Bu also extremely powerful and ferocious; he once ran among the rebels, withstood the pursuit of a group of Mongolian cavalry, and protected Xiao Haohu from escaping. At that time, Guo Ning was carrying two arrows, and he was able to
Taking this man's life lightly was indeed a bit of a fluke.
It can be seen that the victory or defeat in a battlefield battle depends not only on martial arts and physical strength, but also on fighting spirit, determination, and even split-second judgment and luck.
Since Guo Ning killed this person, he knew that sooner or later Xiao Haohu would become suspicious.
So he rushed to Gaoyangguan without stopping to avoid a long night and many dreams.
But he really didn't expect that the number of Xiao Haohu's followers would be so large.
Right in front of him, soldiers with swords and guns quickly climbed up the wall of the village and stood in awe. And in front of the open space that looked like a school ground, hundreds of soldiers were lined up neatly on the left and right like geese's wings.
Team.
The flags in the team were erected in a staggered manner, flying in the night wind. Several large drums were placed behind the open space, and the drummer dropped his hammer with a straight arm, and the drums sounded loudly.
In recent years, the small group of defeated troops that have been lingering near Anzhou inevitably had conflicts on their way back from outside the Great Wall into Hebei, and there were also times when they supported each other. They generally knew the basics. Therefore, Guo Ning always believed that Xiao Hao and Hu were in the same position.
The force that can be used is about a hundred people.
What is displayed in front of Guo Ning now is a force of three hundred elite soldiers!
It can be seen that Xiao Haohu has long been planning to cause trouble, so he secretly cultivated his strength, not just for a while.
The original self didn't realize it, and was too slow.
Guo Ning was unwavering and calmly walked through the village gate.
This chilling scene of swords and guns suddenly made Yu Jingchun feel a little frightened. He subconsciously stopped and showed a wandering look. The dozen or so guards following him didn't know why, and they also stopped.
Guo Ning hurriedly came back and said politely: "Mr. Yu, please come with me."
Yu Jingchun looked at Guo Ning blankly, and then at Zhu Zhang and Zhang Jiao in front.
Zhu Zhang glanced here and walked forward, while Zhang Jiao took two steps back impatiently and waved.
Guo Ning forced a smile: "Mr. Yu, we are lining up to welcome you. Don't panic, haha!"
"Oh, okay, okay." Yu Jingchun continued to walk.
Guo Ning turned around and still stood side by side with him.
Taking a few steps forward along the gradually elevated dirt road in the walled city, he saw Xiao Haohu surrounded by many warriors. For a moment, fire was about to spurt out of his eyes. He quickly took a deep breath,
Try your best to regain your composure.
Guo Ning still strode forward, but lowered the brim of his helmet lower and no longer stared ahead.
Any experienced warrior who is in charge of the battlefield will always have some almost instinctive premonitions, which might arouse this guy's alert at a certain glance. Moreover, the further we walked into the village, the brighter the lights became, attracting Xiao Haohu's attention.
The probability is much higher.
After walking a few steps, I suddenly saw another group of soldiers coming from outside the queue.
This group of soldiers pushed and pushed one person, and thrust him in front of Yu Jingchun from a diagonal stab. The man's head and face were covered with blood, and he had several stab wounds on his body. He was in an extremely embarrassed state, and his upper body was tied up with thick ropes.
, the mouth was also gagged.
Yu Jingchun glanced over and shouted in surprise: "Brother Wang?"
It turned out that this man was actually the leader of another broken army active in the east of Xinqiao Camp, named Wang Shixian.
Wang Shixian was originally a salt patrol archer in Gongchang Prefecture. Last year, the imperial court mobilized reinforcements from all walks of life, said to be a million people, led by Marshal Zuo Dujian Ao Tunxiang, to rescue Datong Prefecture in Xijing. Wang Shixian was also among them.
However, the fate of the millions of troops was no different from the hundreds of thousands of troops in Yehuling earlier. They were also beaten to pieces by the Mongols. Wang Shixian and a group of companions also somehow managed to collapse into Zhending Mansion, and then
Then he moved from Zhending Mansion to Anzhou.
Wang Shixian was an ancient Wang, but his character was not rough. He could even be called kind, and the dozens of people under his command were not vicious. Therefore, after he settled in Xinqiao Yingdong, he had close contacts with surrounding villages and communities, and sometimes came forward to do things for others.
Escorts are usually done neatly.
After half a year, Wang Shixian has accumulated quite a reputation, and he and Yu Jingchun have become familiar friends with each other.
But what is the situation in front of us? Why did Wang Shixian become like this?
Yu Jingchun was stunned, but saw Wang Shixian staggering and falling under the push of the soldiers. One of the soldiers who pushed him sneered, and instead of helping him, he kicked him with his feet, making him look like a pig or sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
, crawling on the ground.
Yu Jingchun hurried a few steps, raised his hand to protect Wang Shixian, and asked repeatedly: "What's going on?"
Wang Shixian had a rag stuffed in his mouth and a hemp rope tied around the back of his neck. He could only make a "wow" sound and shake his head. How could he speak?
The soldier who kicked and beat Wang Shixian was the one who had been ordered by Xiao Haohu earlier. He immediately sneered and shouted: "This man did not obey the orders of Shan Shan, so he was captured and will be punished tonight!"
It's just a matter of discord with you, Xiao Haohu, so why did you get the order to be the governor? This... this was done deliberately to show me, Yujiazhuang!
Yu Jingchun was a scholar, but not a fool. How could he not understand what Xiao Haohu meant? He was trembling with anger for a moment.
He said "hey" with all his strength, and when he was about to show his face, Wang Shixian's movements suddenly became several times more violent, and he opened his lips as hard as he could, shouting repeatedly. Even if others couldn't understand what he was shouting, they could still feel it.
There was a sudden surge of excitement.
Wang Shixian's eyes were even more wide-eyed, almost to the point where his canthus was split.
What was he doing? What did he see that made him so excited?
Yu Jingchun turned around without knowing why, only to realize that Wang Shixian was trying his best to signal to the tall soldier.
"Why are you panicking?" the soldier sighed.
It turns out that these two people also knew each other?
Yu Jingchun was still confused. The soldier sighed again and said, "Wait! Wait!"
Wang Shixian immediately shut up, but the blood on his face could not hide his eager look.
The soldier turned around and went to the front of the queue.
In that direction, Xiao Haohu was already approaching.
Yu Jingchun was still standing at a loss, not knowing what was going on. Xiao Haohu's subordinates all thought that this was Yu Jingchun's companion who was going to plead with Xiao Baihu, so not only did no one stop him, but some of them were laughing and joking.
, waiting to see the joke.
Standing in front of the soldiers was Zhang Jiao, the commander sent by Xiao Haohu to lead the way.
Zhang Jiao subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop him. As soon as his eyes met the soldier's eyes, he instantly felt chills all over his body. The soldier walked past him proudly, and Zhang Jiao did not dare to move again.
At the same time, Xiao Haohu gradually approached.
The meeting between Yu Jingchun and Wang Shixian was watched by Xiao Haohu.
He was very satisfied with the arrangement of killing chickens to scare monkeys, and secretly thought that if Yujiazhuang could know better, it would not be impossible to spare Wang Shixian's life. However, Wang Shixian had to kowtow and beg for mercy. Otherwise, it would not show the command of the Anzhou capital.
prestige!
This thought made him feel a little happy. So, when the soldier who accompanied Yu Jingchun came towards him, he didn't pay attention at first. He just felt that it would be rude for the soldier to stride forward without informing him.
Yu Jingchun was already frightened. If this person thought that relying on the meager strength of Yujiazhuang, he could cause chaos in Gaoyang Pass, that would be too stupid.
Xiao Haohu frowned and waved to Zhu Zhang.
Zhu Zhang immediately crossed his arms to stop him and shouted: "Back off!"
The next moment, there was a sharp sound of a sharp weapon piercing the air.
Because there seemed to be a bright light flashing before his eyes, Xiao Haohu and the guards around him blinked at the same time.
Zhu Zhang's cross-arm blocking movement stopped, and then he turned over and fell to the ground. As he fell to the ground, he let out a heart-rending cry, and blood spurted out from his chest.
When his back hit the ground, more blood spurted out like a fountain from his forehead, from the bridge of his nose, from his throat, from his chest, and from a huge and connected wound. The soldiers lined up as guards of honor on both sides of the road were poured out.
His whole body was red, and he was so frightened that he even dropped two of the pine torches.
In the blood mist that filled the sky, a tall figure accelerated forward.
Xiao Haohu's status has become higher, his vision has become higher, and his style has become bigger. He always has several guards with outstanding skills around him. At this time, a guard and Tang Gu who were close to Xiao Haohu reacted and quickly pulled out their weapons.
knife.
The movement of the charging man was as fast as a tiger or leopard pounced on. The two of them just drew their swords out of their sheaths, and the man was already in front of them.
The cold light flashed again, and there was a muffled sound from the guard's chest. A long knife pierced his armor, and then penetrated the skin, bones and internal organs in one breath, and the tip of the knife came out through the back.
To be continued...
