Chapter 93 The Heng Navy(1/2)
Seeing a wave of arrows passing over his head and shooting towards the opposite side, Xu Xian sneered in his heart, "You're not dead now!" Just as he was waiting for Fu Yanqing to be hit by an arrow and fall from his horse, he saw Fu Yanqing's other arm.
Raise a small buckler to protect your head, face, and chest.
Xu Xian's carefully prepared fatal blow did not penetrate the shield as he expected, but instead wiped out a string of sparks. Many of Fu Yanqing's subordinates were hit by arrows and fell from their horses, but Fu Yanqing was intact and his horse was not fast.
Jian continued to kill Xu Xian.
"Damn it, it's actually made of steel!" Xu Xian cursed and quickly got on his horse, "Let's go! Let's go quickly!"
The five hundred people were desperately trying to distance themselves from Fu Yanqing. Xu Xian, who was riding behind and galloping, suddenly felt a cold wind brushing his neck. A comrade in front of him screamed and fell on the horse.
There was no movement, only an arrow was stuck in his back. He was jolted a few times by the horse and fell to the ground.
Xu Xian turned around and saw that Fu Yanqing had put away his horse shield and was holding a bow. An ordinary cavalry bow was not enough to kill a soldier wearing fine armor. Fu Yanqing had at least a two-stone strong bow in his hand.
, that arrow was actually shot at him.
What frightened Xu Xian even more was that Fu Yanqing seemed to be not the only one who knew how to ride and shoot. Many people riding in the front were holding their bows and arrows. Fu Yanqing really did not become the grandson of the Shatuo people in vain.
Snap! Snap! Snap! There was a slight tremor in the back. Xu Xian knew without looking that an arrow had been hit in his back. It was not Fu Yanqing who shot him, otherwise he would have been finished. However, the sharp arrow was stuck in the flesh and followed the body.
The ups and downs are also quite uncomfortable.
"Don't worry about running! Turn around and shoot them!" Xu Xian ordered loudly, slamming his feet on the horse's belly and trying to run to the front of the team, otherwise he would be shot to death by Fu Yanqing sooner or later.
Suddenly, there was a scream of horses and the sound of a human body falling to the ground. I heard someone shouting loudly: "Stop! There is a tripping rope ahead!"
Xu Xian tightened the reins and turned the horse's head, "Turn right! Go to the wild!"
There was an ambush in front of them, and it was going to be dark soon. The darker the light, the more unfavorable it was for the Red Turbans to fight. There was only a fire nearby that could barely see.
One person suddenly broke away from the team and shouted loudly behind him: "The one behind you is King Wei. I am Lao Mu next to His Majesty. I came to Daming Mansion on the emperor's order. Stop it quickly... Damn it! Even I am.
Cum all!"
Old Mutou quickly rode back, yelling at Fu Yanqing and greeting his female relatives.
"Don't waste your time. Why do you think he wears a mask? It's not just so he can kill people without any scruples!"
"Stop talking nonsense! You have to fight him quickly. I can't help you."
Xu Xian led his men into the wilderness, but the waist-deep grass slowed them down greatly. Fu Yanqing also went down the official road and chased after him. When Xu Xian saw this, he yelled: "Brothers, please string up the God's Arm Crossbow.
Greet them!"
Everyone hurriedly fired at Fu Yanqing and his soldiers behind them. Immediately, another twenty or thirty people were hit by arrows. The total number of soldiers and horses led by Fu Yanqing was only five or six hundred. After two rounds of arrow rain, there were already seventy or eighty of them.
If a man was hit by an arrow, if he had been on the other side of the army, he would have been killed long ago.
Not only did Fu Yanqing's soldiers not disperse, but they became more and more courageous as they fought, constantly using bows and arrows to fight back. Although ordinary cavalry bows were less lethal to soldiers wearing armor, they had no problem dealing with horses without protective gear. Horses hit by arrows were not
He stopped and fell to the ground. The soldier fell to the ground and was stabbed to death by Fu Yanqing's soldiers before he could get up.
Two groups of cavalry were chasing each other in the wilderness. What shocked Xu Xian was that he and his subordinates had always been the targets. Fu Yanqing's personal soldiers never turned around and fled. Xu Xian was secretly shocked by the tenacity and bravery of this group of people.
It's just that Xu Xian and his subordinate's horse have been running for a long time, and they are exhausted. The horse power is slightly weaker than the opponent's, and they are constantly being overtaken and assassinated by the opponent, which makes Xu Xian itchy with hatred and powerless.
Ahead was a huge fire. Xu Xian turned the horse's head and was about to take the people in a circle. However, the turn was only halfway when the opponent suddenly branched out and penetrated into the middle of the Red Scarf City, trying to block the Red Scarf City's waist.
Truncate.
Xu Xian was shocked and said that the cavalry in the north and the cavalry in the south were really not on the same level. The cavalry in the north were not only more powerful in combat, but also had a keener eye for catching fighters.
"Hurry up! Speed up!" Xu Xian ordered loudly to no avail. He watched helplessly as the opponent cut off a third of the team.
Jiubao shouted loudly: "What should the manager do? Da Kui and Yin Simiao are both inside!"
"What can we do! Fight back!" Xu Xian turned his horse and saw that 30% of his subordinates had been surrounded. Fu Yanqing was standing not far in front of him. Flames were rising behind him, his mask was cold and ferocious, and the long sword in his hand was pointing directly at him.
Xu Xian's murderous aura makes people's hearts suffocate!
Suddenly a voice in my ear said: "Don't be afraid of him! You have two arms and one head to be afraid of what he will do! Don't forget that he is almost sixty years old. There is nothing to be afraid of a bad old man with loess buried up to his neck! As long as you
If we are not afraid of death, none of us will die!"
Old Mutou spoke boldly, but his voice was trembling, which showed that he was nervous inside. Before Xu Xian could reply, he saw Fu Yanqing coming from the opposite side with his horse.
A long voice shouted: "Kill!"
But what echoed in his mind was what Old Mu Tou said to him, "If you are not afraid of death, none of us will die!" He had heard similar words more than once, and for a moment he felt like he was in the moment of massacre in Longyou or Huainan.
, the blood on his body seemed to be ignited all at once, burning Xu Xian's face red, and the veins on his forehead bulged, he opened his mouth wide and roared at the top of his lungs, looking as ferocious as a wild beast against the firelight.
He held the gun with both hands and pointed it straight at Fu Yanqing's chest, without any fancy, as if he was fighting for his life. Fu Yanqing, who was charging forward, did the same, with the sharp tip pointed directly at Xu Xian, as if he wanted to end each other.
The distance between the two people was closing very quickly. As long as they kept going like this, even if they took one more breath, they would be killed by the opponent's weapon. But at that last moment, the long spear in Fu Yanqing's hand changed and moved towards Xu.
The spear in Xian's hand hit him hard and stabbed Xu Xian in the chest.
However, when Fu Yanqing's horse resisted the spear attack, the chance to kill Xu Xian was lost. Xu Xian turned slightly to avoid Fu Yanqing's attack and passed him by.
It has to be said that Fu Yanqing is getting stronger and stronger. The shock just now made Xu Xian's arms numb and he almost dropped the spear in his hand. The moment he met Fu Yanqing, he quickly put the gun away to block the spearhead from the front, and hit him with a backhand.
On the other person's neck.
He swiped left and right and slashed at the opportunity. Four or five people were knocked off their horses by him. There were not many people on both sides, and they rushed through each other in the blink of an eye. Xu Xian turned the horse's head and gasped heavily, feeling faintly excited.
I felt a little bit lucky that I actually survived the fight with Fu Yanqing.
"Fu Yanqing is afraid! Otherwise, you would be dead, and your shooting skills are no match for his shooting skills." Old Mu Tou came to Xu Xian's side, "Fu Yanqing has lived a high life for many years and has evil intentions. He will not be willing to die in your hands!
The more he thinks like this, the more likely he is to lose! What are you still doing in a daze? It's your turn this time!"
As he spoke, Old Mu Tou poked Xu Xian's horse with the barrel of his gun. The horse neighed in pain and ran towards the opposite side. Fu Yanqing saw this and came towards him. In the blink of an eye, the two of them were close at hand, and Old Mu Tou suddenly rushed from behind.
When he arrived in front of Xu Xian, he stabbed Fu Yanqing with the silver spear in his hand. Upon seeing this, Fu Yanqing quickly swung the long spear in his hand towards Old Mu's head.
Good opportunity! The gun barrel in Xu Xian's hand was used to grab Fu Yanqing's chest. Fu Yanqing's long spear was chopped on the arm of Old Mu Tou. His body tilted to avoid Xu Xian's attack. Xu Xian quickly retracted the gun and stabbed with his backhand, turning back the carbine.
Hitting Fu Yanqing's back shoulder.
Fu Yanqing screamed and fell off his horse. His soldiers saw this and shouted in horror, "The King of Wei is injured and fell off his horse! The King of Wei is injured and falls off his horse!"
Regardless of killing the enemy, they quickly surrounded Fu Yanqing who fell from his horse. Xu Xian pulled the reins and also surrounded them, directing everyone to change the crossbow and string it up. "Jiu Bao went to tell the other group of people that Fu Yanqing was captured.
Tell them to let my men go and surrender immediately or kill Fu Yanqing!"
Jiubao came back soon and reported: "The other side has surrendered, but our losses are not small. About eighty or ninety people died in the battle!"
Xu Xian's heart twitched when he heard this. When he saw the people in the circle preparing to rush out with the injured Fu Yanqing, he shot him hard, so that the other party did not dare to act rashly.
Fu Yan pushed aside the soldiers and walked slowly to Xu Xian's horse. His mask had fallen off and his face was filled with unwillingness and resentment. He looked at Xu Xian and said, "I never thought that one day I would fall into your hands."
.You must be extremely proud. Remember you once said in my house that you will repay me a thousand times what I have done to you. Now you can take my life away, but you have to let go of these things.
My soldiers, they have been following me for many years, and I cannot bear to be buried with them!"
Xu Xian sneered and said: "I care more about new hatreds than old hatreds! Your Majesty cherishes your brothers, feet, and robes, don't I cherish them too? This small battle cost me nearly a hundred people. I fought one against ten in Huainan."
There are not so many casualties.”
"It's useless to talk about the situation now. Just kill me to vent your anger!"
"Can't kill!" I heard a cry, and saw Old Mu Tou stumble over to Xu Xian with his severed hand covered: "You can't kill him, otherwise there will be big trouble!"
If Xu Xian killed Fu Yanqing, others would definitely think that it was Chai Rong who instigated it. Even his father-in-law would not let go and would alienate those Jiedu, General and Chai Rong.
"If I don't kill him, how can I be worthy of my brothers who died in the war, and how can I face their families!"
The old mutou begged: "For the sake of my severed hand, please spare him once. If it hadn't been for me, you wouldn't have defeated him so easily!"
Seeing that Xu Xian was silent, Old Mutou said again: "For the sake of that young lady from the Fu family, you have to spare him... Then you have to think about yourself. Your Majesty will not spare you if you kill Fu Yanqing."
If I kill you, your brothers may also suffer. The living are always more important than the dead!"
"Okay! I'll spare him!" Xu Xian waved his hand and ordered: "Shoot all his soldiers!"
The red-turbaned soldiers around him immediately activated their weapons. Listening to the screams coming from behind, Fu Yanqing pointed at Xu Xian and cursed angrily: "You are so cruel!"
"Your Majesty can whip even a little maid to death. When it comes to cruelty, Xu is far worse than you!" Xu Xian got off his horse and walked over with a knife, pointing at Fu Yanqing's chest, "I will do everything you value and want.
Destroy!"
The horizontal knife in Xu Xian's hand suddenly fell, and Old Mu Tou exclaimed and fainted to the ground...
Heng Haijun was the poorest in the feudal town that Xu Xian had ever seen. Their armor was in tatters and their weapons were rusty. It seemed that it was almost winter, and many of them were barefoot.
The quality of the soldiers is also very worrying. The old ones have gray hair, the young ones still have runny noses, or their faces are sallow and thin, looking sickly. Those who don't know better think they are refugees. No wonder they set a fire.
They scattered and fled for their lives.
The vassal town's expenses all rely on local taxes. The agriculture and business in Henghai Town are sluggish, so the fishery is still prosperous. It is good to keep the navy from falling apart without the imperial expenditure.
It's just unreasonable that the Jiedushi here is full of fat. It seems that Fu Yanqing has enjoyed a lot of benefits. He must have had enough time in Henghai Navy. He heard that he was going to Tokyo to take over the deputy commander of the guard Ma Bujun. He didn't even read the edict.
He happily handed over to Xu Xian.
Of course, Fu Yanqing's background must be clearly explained. After hearing the actual number reported by Li Mobai, Xu Xian flipped through the account book again and said: "Chen Linggong, this number does not match up! Especially the number of horses, there is a difference of three thousand!
"
Chen Yuan, the former military governor of the Henghai Navy, stroked his beard and said: "It's all because this stable was built on the seaside. The humidity is too high. Many of the horses that came out of the grassland were acclimated and died!"
"That's too many deaths!"
