The black cavalry and the cold fronts of soldiers are now spread all over the four fields, and there is no edge. All you can see is countless black shadows like savage beasts, spurting out from the depths of the mountains and forests at an unprecedented speed, gradually gathering into A wave of cold ink engulfed the vibrant green lawn, making it look dark.
The dark shadows rushing in from the distance are getting closer and closer. Under the sunlight, they show rough faces and strong figures.
That's right.
It's the Black Cavalry, the Black Cavalry from Beida Camp, the Iron Cavalry that Xiao Changling is most proud of!
The black cavalry charged towards them. The armor they wore, and the fish scale armor on their horses, were all as dark as ink. Even under such bright sunshine, there was no trace of gleaming light. The luster, black armor, heavy iron helmet, and the light of the spear on the black rider were faintly connected, exuding a murderous aura and chill as sharp as the light of a sword.
The rumble of horse hooves came one after another in an endless stream, like dense raindrops all over the sky, hitting the ground with a crisp rhythm and sound, which seemed so neat and stable.
However, they saw that the Beidaying Black Cavalry, a total of two hundred people, was like the endless waves in the sea, one wave after another, one wave higher than the other, beating against the fixed rocks on the coast, as if there was no end; As the iron cavalry passed by, choking dust and sand were raised, and the loess beneath their feet turned into a puddle of powder under the hard crushing force of the horses' hooves. Then, with the help of extremely powerful force, it slowly rose up and turned into a piece of yellow smoke, covering the entire area. He blocked the sight of the black knight on the way forward.
The two-hundred-person black cavalry column was divided into fifty black-armored cavalry formations with four cavalry in a row. Like a long dragon, they relied on the fierce momentum of the cavalry itself and the overbearing technique of sudden attack by cavalry. , causing a large thunderous sound, swooped down along the steep slope above the hills, and rolled straight towards the green patch of green in the center, intending to use this autumn wind to sweep the setting sun, swallowing up the group of horses that were overwhelmed by their abilities in one fell swoop. bandit.
In fact, as early as the moment the black cavalry appeared, the leaderless horse bandits had already realized that they had failed today. Regardless of the disparity in numbers between the two sides, the two hundred heavily armed black cavalry, plus the twenty men facing them, Once this 220-strong frontier force, known as the soldiers of the North Camp, made up their minds and launched an unsuspecting massacre against the dozens of horse bandits in front of them, the result could be imagined. It is as easy as the sea water to cover a handful of fine sand. Let me ask the heroes in the world, who can survive the offensive of Beidaying, and who can withstand the rain of arrows pouring from the sky, let alone a group of heroes. Horse bandits!
It was only then that the horse bandits finally realized what despair was and what it meant to be at the end of the road. A desolation of impending death surged into everyone's heart. In the face of the Northern Zhou cavalry sweeping the world, no matter how hard you are, you are the one who can call the wind and rain. Both the king and the leader of the horse bandits roaring in the mountains and forests are so vulnerable; what's more, this is the Beida camp built by Xiao Changling, and what greets these horse bandits is the cold killing blow from the black cavalry army.
Rumble.
Iron hoofs clank.
Amidst the sound of horse hooves, a large number of black cavalry galloped with their spears across the sky, raising smoke and dust all over the sky. The big silver Gunlong flag fluttered in the wind. On the big flag, there was a big word "Xiao" painted on it. Each stroke , just like a knife carving an axe, it instantly gives people an indestructible three-dimensional sense and a murderous look.
Hu Kun sat high on his horse, leading the way, his armor gleaming, and even the bright red battle robes were torn by the wind and made a hunting sound. The red charcoal fire dragon colt under the seat fell to the ground with all four hooves. A bolt of lightning flashed out quickly; the brave general in the vanguard of the Peking University camp looked ahead under the commander's flag, and then slowly raised the iron spear in his hand, with a thick black spear tassel wrapped around both sides of the spear. , was particularly eye-catching. He waved his iron spear and gave a stern order.
"Advance!"
Accompanied by General Hu Kun's raised spears, more than a dozen light cavalrymen in the front row of the black cavalry column clamped down on the horses' bellies. According to the general's command, they quickly spread out in a fan shape, flicked the reins, and jumped like a dragon. , broke away from the main force of the black cavalry, and took the lead in running towards the place where the horse bandits were.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud sound of bow strings, and the dozen or so black riders, holding long bows in their hands, galloped left and right while riding their horses forward, and shot out arrows one after another, suddenly forming a large airtight net that enveloped everyone. To the horse bandits who were as small as fish in the water.
In an instant, countless arrows like locusts whistled and roared, passing through the air, drawing beautiful arcs, and the arrows flashing with cold light pierced directly into the bodies of several horse bandits; Wherever it passed, the sky blocked out the sun, and countless blood mist splashed up.
After the string sounded, a cold rain of arrows, mixed with the shrill sound of the arrows, came down like a downpour, one after another, and the broken strings were shot out; under such a dense rain of arrows, there were heart-wrenching wails one after another. , screamed miserably and endlessly from the team of dozens of horse bandits. Before the dozen horse bandits in the front row had time to wave their swords to resist, several arrow holes suddenly appeared on their bodies, and they seemed to have received an electric shock. All the same, their whole bodies were twitching in pain, and they were all hit by arrows and fell off their horses.
Looking at the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains, when it comes to battles on the battlefield, the cavalry and archery of the Northern Zhou army is the most powerful. A cavalry archer in the Northern Zhou army can defeat the heavy cavalry of Southern Chu and the Wu Benhu of Xi Yan with just a burst of arrows. Riding, shooting can make people fall on their backs, not to mention blood-devouring iron cavalry such as "Iron Buddha"; and most of the 70,000 soldiers in Beida Camp are cavalry, and cavalry shooting is even more impressive. Here, Xiao Changling condenses A lot of hard work.
There are only a dozen light cavalry, which is not the main force of the black cavalry. At this time, riding on the ground and holding a hard bow, they can easily harvest more than a dozen people in a blink of an eye with their superb riding and archery, just like a sickle cutting wheat. The life of the horse bandit didn't even give them a chance to react.
Just when the horse bandit was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse, the man in white still had a calmness like an icy lake in his eyes. It seemed that the bloody storm that had just been so close was reflected in the depths of his deep black eyes, and it was like a stone sinking into the ocean and being sealed forever. In the bottomless pool where the sun never shines, this is a kind of numbness that is used to life and death, and it is also a kind of detachment that looks down on life and death. Only people with a heart as solid as stone can have such a powerful mind: indestructible.
Under the protection of a copper wall and iron wall, Xiao Changling remained motionless, with his shadow already sheathed. He was holding a long sword in both hands, and his handsome and tall figure was reflected on the lawn. He was tall and stalwart, coupled with a capable White clothes and a dark ancient sword can better highlight the cool and unrestrained style of this young commander.
Xiao Changling stood with his sword in his hand, and the warm wind blew by itself, across his cold cheek, causing his elegant white clothes to roll up and down. Beside him, there stood twenty soldiers from the Peking Camp, all wearing armor and carrying weapons. The knife and the iron shield in his hand formed an invulnerable barrier, and Xiao Changling remained motionless inside.
I saw Xiao Changling slowly raising his head, watching the scene in front of him with an indifferent expression. A layer of enchantment had already been smeared on his two sword eyebrows, and his eyes were full of coldness and calmness. Bo, as cold and sharp as a knife, just like the smile mark under his lips, flashed with a trace of ridicule and disdain; from the beginning, he never paid attention to these horse bandits. In his opinion, these people were just a group of ants, dead To Xiao Changling, the death of one person or ten people were the same, and they could not shake his perseverance at all.
Suddenly, Xiao Changling looked slightly stern, raised his right fist calmly and firmly, and then swung it down hard, as if he wanted to use an understatement to convey his will as the coach to the soldiers of the Bei Camp.
The twenty soldiers were immediately infected by Xiao Changling's awe-inspiring majesty. They stood their shields under their bodies and inserted their wild goose feather knives on the ground. At the same time, they took off their crossbows from behind with extremely quick speed and cocked the arrows. , and quickly took a few steps forward to form a huge circular formation, and Xiao Changling's sonorous and powerful voice immediately reached the sky.
"Tell them, those who abandon their armor and throw swords will not be killed; those who stubbornly resist will be killed without mercy!"
Lin Li's strong bows and crossbows were held in the hands of the soldiers of the Beida camp. They were bent into countless perfect half-moons, making a crisp sound of "creeping, creaking", like crossbow arrows in layers of snow. The tip of the arrow flashed with a murderous cold light. He pointed coldly at the crowd of people opposite.
Not long after, the gleaming soldiers of the Beida Battalion burst out with a roar that shook the earth.
"Your Highness has an order: Anyone who abandons his armor and throws his sword will not be killed; anyone who stubbornly resists will be killed without mercy!"
"Kill without mercy!"
"Kill without mercy!"
The surging roar swept up from the gentle Yudai River, rolled to the rugged mountain ridges in the distance, rolled to the dense and prosperous jungle, and also swept into the ears of everyone present, suppressing the blue sky and white clouds in early spring. , are somewhat eclipsed.
At the same time, the two hundred black cavalry, who had been as powerful as tigers and wolves just now, gradually slowed down. The endless black was like a pine forest, stretching as far as the eye could see, with handsome flags fluttering and golden and iron light and cold killing.
"Formation!"
Hu Kun shouted loudly.
Immediately, the black cavalry regiment of two hundred people, with their black-armored horses, fired their spears vigorously, the spear points were bright and cold, and the cold light flashed, drawing out the vast white snow mist; taking advantage of the wind, the main force of the black cavalry rushed against the wind. When the bandits were only 300 feet away, they all captured the war horses. The war horses let out a long neigh, and the horses' hooves raised a large dust mist, which slowly rose and dispersed little by little.
Suddenly, about thirty horse archers, like the dozen or so cavalry before, broke away from the main force of the black cavalry and rode out. In the blink of an eye, they immediately lined up in front of the formation, one by one using their bows. , took out the wolf tooth arrow from Dendrobium, and fastened it tightly on the string.
"Tsk..."
The huge arm strength can pull apart the horn bow weighing dozens of kilograms. The bowstring of the horn bow made a "buzzing" tremor, turning into a full moon in the sky, and was pulled to a tight state; the wolf tooth arrow on the bow, no, to be precise, it was more than thirty years old. A wolf-fang arrow, the arrowhead glowing with green light, aimed coldly at the head of the horse bandit on the opposite side. His face and eyebrows seemed to be pierced by the arrow.
For a time, the iron cavalry surrounded them, arrows were directed towards them, and the main force of two hundred black cavalry launched an encirclement against the horse bandits.
"Resign or not -"
"Resign or not -"
Following the violent roars of the soldiers of the Beida camp, countless cold and fierce voices burst out from the mouths of the Black Cavalry soldiers, like thunder from the sky hitting the world, echoing in the air, reverberating in the warm atmosphere. in the air.
There are strong bows and crossbows in front, and black cavalry behind them. The sharp edges of the spears and crossbows are like thunder and lightning, cutting through the sky for thousands of miles, completely blocking all possibilities of escape for the horse bandits, leaving only frightened faces. .
Looking at the dozen brothers beside them who were killed by random arrows, the faces of the horse bandits showed a deathly pale color. They finally understood that in front of the powerful state machine of the Zhou Dynasty, people like themselves... They are fat pigs left to be slaughtered under the butcher's knife.
"Clang!"
The clear sound of metal colliding was heard. Listening carefully, it was not the sound of blades striking each other. Instead, dozens of large knives were thrown to the ground with a "clatter", and the horse bandits rolled off their horses one after another, sleeping. He knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy.
"I surrender."
"I surrender."
The horse bandits all disarmed and became prisoners under the crossfire of guns and blades in the Beida camp. Some had their necks held by several bright Yanling knives, and some had their bodies surrounded by spears and could not move. The leaders of the horse bandits were , and could only be captured under the horse with a look of reluctance; from the time when the horse bandits raided to the time when they were all disarmed, less than half an hour passed, a thrilling crisis was eliminated invisibly, and was eliminated by Xiao Changling Under the thunderous means.
The fog dissipated, and a touch of comfort and comfort, like a gentle breeze, drove away the gloomy clouds in everyone's hearts, and there was a sense of joy as the clouds cleared and the sun emerged.
A wisp of spring breeze blew by, rolling up the man's white clothes.
Xiao Changling raised his eyes and put the "Chengying" sword on his waist again. After standing there for a long time, he finally turned around and looked at the beautiful figure of the woman beside him. Her every frown and smile, her beautiful hair. Her hair, soft smile, and charming appearance, at this moment, seemed to be cast by magic, forever engraved in Xiao Changling's eyes, which seemed to penetrate the deep bottom of the lake.
The more he watched, the more fascinated he became, and the more he watched, the more infatuated he became. The originally resolute lip arc slowly rose at this moment, outlining a dazzling smile. This was not a sneer when facing the enemy, nor was it a big smile after a victory. Smile, but a different kind of smile, gentle as water, tender and tender. This is a feeling I have never had before. Perhaps only when facing the woman in front of him, he, a young and famous commander, will combine his tenderness with Warmth is shown, is this the feeling of heartbeat?
Perhaps because she felt the gaze from that man, Xie Wanxin also returned to a calm orchid state from her highly nervous mental state at this time; her eyes were watery and she slowly raised them, the girl's pure gaze, It fell directly on those cold black and white eyes, and also fell on this man, - just now, he was guarding her in front of her, holding a sword alone, cutting off hidden arrows with one sword, and killing thieves with his bow; Just now, with his extremely confident eyes, he made a promise to "keep you safe and sound". How firm and brave that was... Like Xiao Changling, for Xie Wanxin, this may also be a heartbeat. It feels like that.
Their eyes faced each other, both of them lost their minds, and their vision was actually hazy.
A moment of absent-mindedness passed by, and Xiao Changling smiled warmly. His eyes were as warm as the spring breeze and as gorgeous as the morning sun. He stared at the beautiful face of the fourth young lady of the Xie family and spoke loudly, his voice low and plain.
"Fourth Miss, they are all Gu's subordinates. You are safe now."
Such a simple sentence caused ripples in Miss Xie Si's heart. She quietly looked at Xiao Changling's handsome face, admiring his pure and elegant expression. The girl's innocent eyes were revealed without concealment. It shows her budding spring heart and tugs at the heartstrings.
The word love is so profound.
…
"Bahhhh..."
At this moment, a series of dull hoofbeats came from the ground, cutting through the black smoke remaining in the air, and also cut through the silence between Xiao Changling and Xie Wanxin's eyes; along with the sound of horse hoofbeats, a A tall red charcoal fire dragon horse came slowly, carrying the majestic general, and appeared in front of the two of them.
"Uu——"
Hu Kun rode his horse forward, tightened the reins suddenly, and dismounted. After dismounting, Hu Kun, a general in armor, slightly adjusted his armor, and then threw his black-tasseled iron spear, which he used to use across the battlefield. He asked his personal soldiers and strode towards Xiao Changling.
Strong steps.
The soldiers of Beida Camp dispersed one after another to make way for General Hu Kun. Hu Kun was seen clenching the sword at his waist. Facing the spring breeze, the lines on his face became more and more unusually hard. He was worthy of being born in Beida Camp. , a brave general who accompanied Xiao Changling in the battle in the northern part of the Great Wall. Whether it was his body shape or his eyes and expression, he was full of upright masculinity.
"The general's late arrival in the rescue caused His Highness to be frightened. Your Highness, please forgive me!"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Changling's eyes were like a bow and arrow shot from the string, but there was no coldness of the arrow. He just glanced at Hu Kun lightly; the expression on his face swept away the coldness and sharpness of the massacre just now, although he was still It is as calm as water, but much gentler.
"Zuoyu doesn't need to be polite. If the general hadn't rescued him in time, the consequences would have been disastrous. This time, the Beida camp has made great achievements in suppressing the bandits. He should be generously rewarded. According to Gu's order, all the soldiers who participated in the battle today will be promoted to the first level and will be rewarded fifty Anyone who shoots a bandit on the battlefield will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with one hundred guan."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
All the officers and soldiers of the Beida Camp shouted in unison, and the sound of joy was like thunder.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Changling took a deep breath, holding Cheng Ying's sword hilt with his left hand, while his right hand naturally hung by his side. The long hunting wind picked up his white clothes and brushed them away. of dust.
Not long after, Xiao Changling spoke in a deep voice, his tone resounding.
"Zhaowu Colonel Hu Kun received the title!"
"The general is here!" Hu Kun took a step forward and clenched his hands into fists.
"From now on, Guba will promote you to the position of deputy general of the former army and command the black cavalry." Xiao Changling blurted out every word, with a voice that could crack rocks without being sloppy at all, showing that as a commander, he has a clear understanding of fire and rewards and punishments. The sword eyebrows immediately raised slightly.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
But soon, Hu Kun looked back, glanced at the group of horse bandits who had surrendered, and then asked in a low voice.
"Then..., Your Highness, please tell me how to deal with these people."
"Where are they horse bandits?" Xiao Changling said casually.
"Back to Your Highness, according to the local people, these people are bandits from Mopan Mountain. They make a living by killing people and selling goods all year round. They do all kinds of evil. The local government has tried to suppress them many times, but all failed."
Mopan Mountain!
When he heard these three words, Xiao Changling's face could not help but darken slightly, and his eyebrows suddenly knitted together; as the commander-in-chief of the Beida Camp, a general who led troops on the battlefield, of course he knew Mopan Mountain What kind of place is it? It is less than fifty miles away from Qingliang Villa. It is a place where bandits gather. There are hundreds of hills, large and small. There are about three thousand horse bandits in total. These three thousand horse bandits usually attack homes and rob houses. , making a living by killing caravans passing by, sometimes going down the mountain to harm the people, and kidnapping women, which has become a major hidden danger in the local area.
At this moment, Xiao Changling was silent, his two handsome eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and his already handsome and flawless face, set off by his eyes and eyebrows, solidified into a deep cold look. The bottom of the pool is almost invisible, as if deep in thought.
After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Changling put his hands behind his back, glanced at Hu Kun's armor with a cold and piercing gaze, looked straight ahead, and spoke slowly in a cold voice, with an unquestionable firmness and determination in his tone. Definitely.
"Pull them into the military camp and be slaves forever; in addition, inform Dugu Yunhu and ask him to lead 10,000 cavalry to Mopan Mountain to suppress the bandits in three days. If he fails, don't come back to see him."
Although the tone of this sentence is not very serious, it contains a majestic murderous aura in the calmness, and highlights the power of disdain for Kyushu in its indifference; Xiao Changling said it in the calmest tone. The most sonorous and powerful words were that he was declaring to Hu Kun and all the soldiers of the Beida camp his determination to put an end to the banditry.
"Yes, general, take your orders!" Hu Kun clasped his fists and turned around to leave.
Everything became quiet again and merged into the bright atmosphere of spring.
Seeing Xiao Changling talking about military affairs with great energy, Xie Wanxin stood beside him and was fascinated unconsciously. His cold and iron tone, his arrogant and determined eyes, and his eloquent expression would make anyone see it. I was impressed by this man's charm, not to mention Xie Wanxin who was in the beginning of her love affair. When a woman pays so much attention to a man's every move, she may have fallen in love with him...
Nowadays, the sun is setting in the west, and the red sunset shines on the gurgling river. It is refracted into a faint light by the clear water light, so that the green and furry lawn is enveloped in this. Amidst the vast expanse of soothing red.
Seeing the breeze pick up, the soldiers followed the past habits of King Rencheng and brought a pure black long shawl, put it on Xiao Changling's broad shoulders, and at the same time took his "Salu Purple"; Xiao Changling Calmly, he stretched out his hand to tie the knots and threads of the cloak inward. The wind blew past his ears and in front of him, pulling Xiao Changling's white cloak and making it flutter.
Xiao Changling turned around, first glanced at the close friends of Miss Xie's fourth daughter, then stared at Xie Wanxin's delicate face, and tried to speak in the gentlest tone of his life.
"Ladies, you have been frightened today. Changling is here to apologize to you, and I will definitely give you an explanation someday."
After finishing his words, Xiao Changling's increasingly gentle eyes fell on Xie Wanxin's beautiful eyes again. When the beauty came into view, the smile on Xiao Changling's lips became more and more fiery, and gradually, he became a little forgetful.
"Fourth Miss, it's getting late, why don't I send someone to take you back home?"
At this moment, Xie Wanxin, no matter how full of love, has to return to the real world; on the girl's smiling face, there is a peony-like nobility and elegance, which is unforgettable.
"No need to trouble Your Highness, look, my carriage is right over there."
Saying that, Xie Wanxin pointed over there, where a carriage with a "Situ Mansion" sign hanging on it, surrounded by a group of maids and attendants, was parked quietly under the tree; when the carriage came into Xiao Changling's sight, , he actually felt a little lost inexplicably, but soon, this loss and loneliness was swept away.
"Okay, we'll see you later."
After that, Xiao Changling took the reins, stepped on the stirrup with one foot, and jumped onto the horse's back skillfully. His whole body, like a towering mountain, sat upright on the "Salu Purple" without moving at all.
Xiao Changling held the bridle in his left hand and held the reins tightly in his right hand. He made a purple circle around Sa Lu, raised it high, and greeted the soldiers of the Beida Camp coldly.
"strike camp!"
"Will we meet again?" Finally, at the last moment when Xiao Changling stepped onto Sa Lu Zi and was about to leave, Xie Wanxin couldn't help but shout out what was in her heart, her eyes full of autumn water, watching The heroic and upright figure of the man on horseback.
However, Xiao Changling turned his horse's head slightly, turned his head and looked back, staring at Xie Wanxin's soft and gentle clear eyes, and smiled lightly. This smile seemed to put the girl's passionate charm into his heart forever.
"As long as we are destined, we will meet again."
A loud smile spread thousands of miles to the sky, and of course it also reached Xie Wanxin's ears.
After the laughter, Xiao Changling didn't look back. He took the tough reins and kicked the horse's belly gently. The dragon neighed and followed the official road from the outing. He swung the reins and spurred the horse straight towards the military camp. ; And behind them, dressed in white, were two hundred black-riding warriors. Their horseshoes formed in formation, raising dust all over the sky and making a loud noise that shook the world...
The setting sun is like blood, reflecting the hero's stubborn back and young heroic appearance.
Xie Wanxin stood in the wind, looking at the lonely figure in the distance, speechless, speechless, and tearless. Only the passionate love boiled, burned, and fluctuated in her heart, and it was so long-lasting and endless. .
