The mountain road ahead was densely packed with more than a hundred people, with more than ten war horses leading the way, and the rest were infantry, rushing towards them in a swaggering manner.
More than 20 meters away from the team, the thieves stopped, and a man came out. He looked tall and sturdy, with a dark face and a pair of cheeks. His eyes were angry and his voice was particularly loud. His attitude was extremely arrogant: "Leave the goods behind." Spare your life and get out of here."
I don't know where this guy got his confidence. Chang Yu stopped Cheng Ming who was about to talk, and also clapped his horse forward. Chunxiang and others immediately came up to protect him.
"You thief, you dare to rob the imperial court of food and salary, you know this is a capital crime!" Chang Yu shouted angrily.
"Of course I know it's a capital crime, come and kill me." After saying this, Bearded laughed wildly, and the thieves behind him also laughed.
Food and salary? The bearded man suddenly stopped laughing and said, "If you don't see the grain truck, I bet it's a salary truck. Hahaha, I didn't expect to see red goods today. Brothers, I have meat to eat today." Cheers and whistles immediately came from behind.
"May I ask if the hero has a big name? On which hilltop can he set up camp?" Chang Yu asked abruptly.
When the bearded man saw him asking this question, he thought he was trying to show weakness, and he chuckled: "Old Long Bei, the head of the Kowloon Village, Long Zaitian, is me. Just put down the goods and get out. If you offend me, I will become murderous. Don't kill anyone." Want to survive.”
What the hell is the old dragon carrying? Chang Yu had a puzzled look on his face and looked around. It happened that the Jin Yiwei spies were not far away. The few people who had met the thieves earlier had hurriedly withdrew before they had time to reach the end of the team.
Seeing Chang Yu asking, a man immediately ran over: "Eunuch Chang, Lao Longbei is a mountain more than ten miles southwest of here. He pointed to a big mountain in the distance. That is Dabei Mountain. Behind that mountain is It's Lao Longbei, but I've never heard of a den of thieves there."
Chang Yu waved his hand to push him down, his eyes despised the beard, his cotton clothes looked bloated, and his whole person was rustic and had no temperament at all, but the name was quite resounding, like a dragon in the sky, but all thieves and bandits these days like it Qi Ge's loud bandit trumpet, what about sweeping the floor, shooting into the sky, each one is more boastful than the other
"You look like an earthly grandson. Why are you blowing the air? There is a dragon in the sky. What kind of dragon are you? An earth dragon." Chang Yu suddenly pointed at his beard and burst into laughter. Chunxiang, Cheng Ming and others couldn't bear it. Live laughing.
The bearded man's face suddenly turned livid, the earth dragon was like an earthworm, this man dared to humiliate himself like this.
"I think your armor is good. If you offer it to me now and then kowtow three times, I will spare your life!"
The bearded man sneered, the heavy machete dangling in his hand.
"It's a pity that the clothes you are wearing are too dirty for me to wipe my butt." Chang Yu snorted coldly, then raised his knife and shouted: "Whoever takes the head of a thief will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and whoever kills a thief will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. This is where you get rich." At this time! Brothers, kill!"
After Chang Yu finished speaking, he slapped the horse with his sword and rushed over. The confidants around him immediately raised their arms and led everyone to kill the general.
Cheng Ming originally waited and watched and stayed in the local defense, but the hundred taels of silver were so attractive that he could no longer bear it and told his subordinates: "Chen Zhong, guard the two wings, and the rest of them will follow me to kill them."
They started fighting after a disagreement. Chang Yu's move surprised Luo Xihu. Did he meet a newborn calf? He was so unafraid of death.
It's just that he couldn't think too much at this time. People were rushing over, so he couldn't stretch his neck for him to chop him. Then he yelled: "Brothers, kill these dog soldiers." Yan Bi waved his machete and came towards Chang Yu. , he wants to cut this kid in half with one knife!
As he roared, the thieves on both sides of the mountain road also rushed down.
The war finally begins!
Three hundred people dared to rob the road. Chang Yu naturally knew where this thief's confidence came from, but it was a pity that he met him. Today he wanted to establish his authority and regain his authority for the Ming army!
At a distance of twenty meters, the war horse was approaching in a blink of an eye, and the bearded machete was already approaching and slashing towards Chang Yu. He even thought that this kid was going to die. From a short distance, he could tell that Chang Yu had poor riding skills. Secondly, these days, there are no military generals who personally fight in single combat. They are either commanding from behind, or fighting surrounded by their own soldiers. To do it alone is to seek death! If the material is good, he is a young man who is eager to achieve great results and does not know the limits of the world!
"Since you have come to die, I will fulfill your wish." Bearded Beard roared, and raised the knife in his hand...
Then
Chang Yu disappeared!
Chang Yu actually rolled off his horse at the moment when they were close to each other, and then slashed with his sword with all his strength!
This custom-made simple knife cuts iron like mud, so as expected, the bearded horse's front hooves were broken off by the knife. Chang Yu secretly couldn't bear the pitiful neigh of the horse, but human lives are worthless on the battlefield, let alone livestock. !
Chang Yu suddenly disappeared from the horse, which frightened Chunxiang and other confidants. When they saw the scene in front of them, they were really surprised and happy, and at the same time they immediately understood what Chang Yu meant.
Chang Yu didn't stumble before his horse, of course he did it on purpose. The reason why he suddenly dismounted was mainly because of his poor equestrian skills, and the essence of horse fighting is the art of horse control. On the contrary, it is difficult to display one or two of ten percent of martial arts skills. If you are not careful, you will die.
What's more, the mountain roads here are narrow and bumpy, making it unsuitable for horseback fighting.
And these thieves have been fighting for their lives on horseback for many years. Although they don't know how good they are in martial arts, their riding skills are definitely far better than Chang Yu's. So he didn't dare to take risks and just dismounted and started fighting. On the ground, he really wasn't afraid of anyone.
Chang Yu chopped off the bearded mount with a knife, and Chang Yu had no time to care about his life or death because his men had already rushed over at this time.
Chang Yu shouted: "Fuck your mother!" He waved his sword to kill the general. He was wearing armor and had few scruples. He raised the sword and chopped down two more horses, and then rushed into the opponent's infantry team.
Chunxiang and others originally wanted to follow Chang Yu's example and dismount to kill the enemy, but in the blink of an eye, they saw that the enemy only had a dozen cavalrymen who dispersed as soon as they charged. The rest of the thieves were infantry, charging and killing on horseback. They were absolutely invincible! ! !
Hold the grass! It was a pity that he had lost a hundred taels of silver. Cheng Ming followed the eunuch army and saw the bearded corpse that had been trampled to pulp by a horse. The cavalry trampled on him, and even his steel would deform.
There was no meat, so soup was good. Seeing that the hundreds of thieves were defeated by Chang Yu and the eunuch cavalry, and fled in all directions. Cheng Ming did not want to let go of such a good opportunity. After all, the head of a thief cost ten taels of silver. ah.
There are many factors that determine the outcome of a war, and sometimes a piece of intelligence or a person's accidental action can change the outcome.
But in the face of powerful forces, if you want to win, you can only become stronger.
There is no doubt that although Luo Xiu has fewer troops, he has great confidence. Perhaps he has nothing to fear from the officers and soldiers based on his past experience, but he did not expect to meet Chang Yu who not only has more troops than him, but also has greater confidence than him, so from the beginning he Doomed to lose.
Especially when he was trampled to a pulp as soon as he appeared on the scene, his troops were demoralized. When the cavalry of the eunuch army charged, they were immediately frightened and ran for their lives up the hillside.
