Chapter 192: Horses Pass, Horses Die, People Pass, and so Do!
nbsp; The convoy was passing the avenue under Nanshan Mountain at this time. The road was not wide, and the carriages and guards filled the road to the brim. With the sudden sound of horseshoes and the sound of screaming police horns, six hundred leaves Before the sudden change, the private soldiers still showed an extraordinary standard. The two hundred soldiers inside quickly formed a circular protective layer around several carriages in the middle, and their sharp spears slanted Outwardly, the two hundred soldiers at the front and back also formed several triangular cone-shaped lineups in an instant, and every two triangular cones slanted towards the formation, like a hedgehog with spikes pierced all over its body, watching it eagerly. Cavalry galloping in the distance
The high-character flag fluttered in the wind, and Gao Yuan's cloak fluttered high. To everyone's surprise, Gao Yuan did not stop at the rear of the convoy. Lifting the reins, he drove the horses along the narrow path on the steep and difficult hillside, straight ahead. Behind him, the two hundred cavalrymen changed from a column into a straight line, and the distance between each horse was only a few meters. distance, followed Gao Yuan and drove up the narrow path
Gao Yuan wanted to block the way of the convoy, Xun Xiu and Ye Zhong immediately understood what the other was thinking
Xun Xiu and Ye Zhong, who were originally relaxed, suddenly became serious when they saw Gao Yuan and his cavalry walking on the steep mountain path, especially Ye Zhong, as a general, compared Xun Xiu knew a lot about the army. He knew how difficult it was for the cavalry to maintain such a speed on such a road. In the past, he never dared to think about it. It seems that it is basically the same as suicide, but today, this scene was vividly staged in front of him
Xun Xiu didn't know Gao Yuan, but when he saw the tall banner and the roaring cavalry, how could he not understand who it was? His complexion is getting ugly bit by bit, damn Zhang Shouyue, why did Gao Yuan pass through Fufeng City without any difficulty, and the person who appeared here
The surprise in Ye Zhong's heart was not as strong as Xun Xiu's. Compared with Xun Xiu, he didn't feel much fear besides being amazed. Over the years, he traveled with Ye Tiannan in the countries of the Central Plains, and he also met the elites of the countries in the Central Plains. Cavalry, compared to those cavalry from all over the world with heavy armor and dazzling weapons, the cavalry in front of you is wearing simple leather armor, with a big sword on the back, and a long bow on the horse. Apart from good riding skills, there is nothing special about it. Looking back at his subordinates, the pure metal armor, compared to the rudimentary ones on the other side, they can be regarded as rich people
Xun Xiu and Ye Zhong walked from the middle of the team and slowly drove their horses towards the front of the team. Just as the two stood still, Gao Yuan had already driven his horse down from the mountain, but behind him was only one infantryman. At this time, the two hundred cavalry had reined in their horses and stopped on the hillside. Gao Yuan chose this location very coincidentally. The slope was slow and the ground was flat. There were no big trees blocking the cavalry. It was a good place to charge
The two rode in two, stopped at the middle of the avenue, stared at the convoy ahead, waved their hands, and on the hillside, a knight flew down with a banner in his hand,
When approaching the avenue, he waved his arm and held out the big flag, and with a snatch sound, the high-character flag was nailed squarely in the middle of the avenue. Flying in the air, there was another snatching sound, and it was inserted one meter away from the side of the big flag. Immediately, the knight turned his head and roared loudly at Ye's private soldiers not far away: "The county captain has an order, cross this flag Those who kill Wuhe!" After finishing his sentence, before the other party reacted, he drove his horse and rushed back to the cavalry on the hillside.
Hearing the unscrupulous cavalry scolding by the other party, Ye Zhong's face turned pale with anger, "A bunch of bumpkins are so rude!" He shouted angrily, and drove his horse forward, "I want to see, cross this flag, What kind of Sha Wuhe!"
Xun Xiu stretched out his hand, but did not hold Ye Zhong, and watched him gallop forward on his horse. The speed of the horse was not fast, but it was a trot. Ye Zhong seemed to want everyone to see clearly how he crossed the big banner.
Gao Yuan stood still, the mouth corners of the infantrymen around him raised, and a sneer surfaced, he stretched out his hand, the longbow was already in his hand, his right hand was on the bowstring, the sharp long arrow was already on the bowstring, the arrow was drooping, staring at the other side slowly Ye Zhong
Ye Zhong naturally also saw the opponent's movements. Although he looked dismissive on the surface, his hand was already on the handle of the knife on his waist, and his eyes were fixed on every tiny movement of the infantry.
Ten steps, five steps, the huge head of the war horse crossed the flying flag, at this moment, the infantry raised their hands, and the sharp arrow pierced through the air. The speed was actually reached before the roar sounded, and Ye Zhong had already drawn his sword out of its sheath just as the opponent's shoulder was shaking, but what he never expected was that the opponent's arrow came so fast, and it was shot not him but his horse
The knife swung down without touching anything, but the horse under its crotch let out a mournful cry, the sharp long arrow shot deep from the horse's left eye, straight into the depths of the brain, the horse jumped up, Ye Zhong let out an angry roar, After a somersault, he landed on the ground with the knife erected in front of his body, fearing that the enemy would have a second arrow. Such sharp and precise archery skills are really rare in the world.
The horse jumped up and fell heavily to the ground. Half of the horse had already crossed the flag, but it was already a dead horse.
The infantry raised their longbows, "The horse passes, the horse dies, and the man passes, and so does the same!"
Ye Zhong's eyes suddenly turned red, and he raised his saber, wanting to move forward
"Ye Chong!" Behind him, Xun Xiu rode his horse and stopped Ye Zhong. "Go back!" he shouted sharply.
"The thief humiliated me so much, how can we give up with him!" Ye Zhong shouted
"Go back!" Xun Xiu's eyebrows were raised high, and the anger on his face was unstoppable. He could see that Gao Yuan really dared to shoot them to death. In the current situation, six hundred Ye's private army faced Gao Yuan's two hundred cavalry If there is a real fight, there is no chance of winning, and there is a wife and young lady in the team. If there is a war and there is a manslaughter, what should I do?
Xun Xiu's status is naturally not comparable to that of Ye Zhong. When Xun Xiu got angry, Ye Zhong became wilted, dragged his knife, and slammed Gao Yuan and the infantry on the opposite side of the banner, and the infantry returned his cold glance. , holding a longbow in his hand, plucking the bowstring in vain, the buzzing sound can be heard endlessly
Looking at Gao Yuan on the opposite horse, Xun Xiu applauded in his heart. He is such an upright man. Although Gao Yuan is not very handsome, he has the arrogance to stare at all around after repeated killings. , coupled with the fact that you are really young, you can't hide that vigor
Xun Xiu got off his horse, walked forward to the side of the banner, looked at Gao Yuan with a smile on his face, and spread his hands, indicating that he had no weapons and no malice
"Gao Yuan?" He looked at Gao Yuan on the horse and asked
"I'm Gao Yuan, who are you?" Gao Yuan looked at the other party coldly
"My name is Xun Xiu, can we talk?"
"Xun Xiu? I haven't heard of it. What can I talk to you about?" Gao Yuan waved his hand impatiently, as if he wanted to drive away an annoying fly
Xun Xiu smiled wryly when he heard the words. He had become famous all over the world decades ago. Although he has not been walking in Dayan for the past ten years, Xun Xiu's name is enough to be described as deafening in front of anyone in any country. But Gao Yuan in front of him, he had never heard of it? Xun Xiu didn't think that the other party had never heard of him, but just used a form to show his contempt.
This is actually wronging Gao Yuan. He has never heard of who Xun Xiu is. When he was reborn, the people who dealt with him the most, except for a few people in Fufeng County, were all big soldiers. He heard that The only university student who has ever lived is still from Lu Hong, and that is Li Ru, the master of the elder brother Lu Chao.
Before Xun Xiu could speak again, Gao Yuan's gaze had already passed him, looking at the carriage tightly surrounded by hundreds of soldiers in the distance, and shouted loudly: "Jing'er, I am Gao Yuan, I am want to see you"
In the carriage, Ye Jinger's face was full of surprise. When Gao Yuan rode his horse straight down the mountain, she opened the curtain and saw Gao Yuan's figure
"Brother Gao, it's Brother Gao, he's back." Ye Jing'er bent over and leaned forward, and then she wanted to open the car door. If you are careful, you will fall on that strange and hostile land. Ye Jinger wakes up in a dream many times, sweating profusely. At this moment, the person she cares about day and night suddenly appears in front of her. How can she not be pleasantly surprised?
"Mother, Brother Gao is back!" Ye Jing'er wanted to open the car door to go out, but her arms tightened, but was held tightly by Ye Shi, "Jing'er, you can't go out"
"Mother, Brother Gao is back, why didn't I see him? Didn't you say earlier that if Brother Gao came back, you would take him back to Jicheng?"
"Jing'er, you can't go to see him, let Mr. Xun Xiu take care of the outside affairs, you just stay here." Ye's face sank like water
Looking at Ye Shi's face, Ye Jing'er's face began to turn pale little by little, her heart felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar
"Mom, what are you going to do?" she asked in panic
"Mother, Brother Gao is back, why don't we see him?" Ye Feng opened his eyes wide, "Brother Gao also said he brought me a good horse, I have to go and see!"
"Shut up!" Mrs. Ye yelled angrily.
Ye Feng was so frightened that he stared at Ye Shi with his mouth open, stunned and at a loss
Just at this time, the voice of Gao Yuan's call came clearly from not far away
"Jing'er, I'm Gao Yuan, I'm back, I want to see you! Where are you?"
"Mom!" Ye Jinger yelled, struggling to get rid of Ye Shi, but Ye Shi's hands were like iron tongs, holding Ye Jinger tightly.
"Jing'er, be obedient, stay here honestly and don't allow him to be seen." Ye's voice is low, but it does not allow disobedience
"Mother, what do you want to do?" Ye Jing'er's tears fell like broken beads. She is so smart, how can she still not guess what Ye Shi wants to do at this moment? . ;)
