Chapter 843 Flying Tiger Flag, Flying Tiger Flag, Tiger Hiding in Flag Roll
The remaining wealthy people in Yanshi County have a very high sense of crisis.
Therefore, they recruited strong men from all walks of life regardless of cost. Xue Changfeng was very good at swordsmanship and outstanding in archery.
After the knife was drawn out, the old soldier who was responsible for assessing the quality of the thugs did not hesitate to allow him to join the team, and the reward he offered was far higher than anyone else.
Xue Changfeng's horizontal sword was given to him by Yin Erhu back then and was made by Yun's fine craftsmen.
Yun's Precision Industry is not a big one among Yun's many industries, but it is the industry that Yun Chu values most.
Among Yun's Seiko, there are not only knife forging masters from the Tang Dynasty, but also foreign craftsmen from the river. Although Yun's Seiko does not produce many knives in a year, and kitchen knives are the most important, but just like this, a knife from
The Tang Dynasty Hengdao made by Yunshi is also a valuable treasure in Chang'an City.
An old soldier has experienced hundreds of battles. He can tell clearly what kind of knife is a good knife and what kind of knife has been tested in actual combat. He only needs to look at it.
Xue Changfeng had experienced many battles, and his horizontal sword had naturally experienced many battles with him. In addition, Xue Changfeng's toughness was different from the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, so the old soldier took a fancy to him at first sight.
The old soldier was an expert and believed in his own eyesight. Xue Changfeng was also used to being a traitor and had full confidence in his abilities. Judging from this first round of confrontation, Xue Changfeng had the upper hand.
A team that had just slaughtered the bandit leader naturally had sufficient confidence in fighting. In addition, the rich people rewarded these people at any cost, so that Xue Changfeng had just walked into their camp, not only drinking wine, but also
When it comes to meat, it’s better to have good yellow beef.
Everyone was drinking and eating meat, thinking about the happy life they would lead after the bandits were completely wiped out.
Only Xue Changfeng, while drinking wine and eating meat, felt pity for these simple people who just wanted to work hard to survive.
The border of Yanshi County has been blocked by various armies. No matter what changes happened in Yanshi County at this time, in the eyes of the emperor, it was a process that had to be experienced. The reason why they would tolerate it was because he wanted to see things through.
It looks like it is extremely bad, and then it is measured whether there will be consequences that he cannot bear after being implemented on a large scale.
No matter how hard these people try to change their fate of destruction, the emperor has the final say in the final outcome.
Liao Wu failed because he couldn't defeat the soldiers. Xue Changfeng believed that thirty or more more elite soldiers would appear around Liao Wu soon. If there were new soldiers on Hu Laosan's side,
There is no doubt that new soldiers will jump out from Liao Wu's side, and it will not be until Hu Laosan and his group can no longer muster the strength to resist that they will usher in their final destruction.
Because of his strong martial arts skills, Xue Changfeng was given a leather armor. Although the protective power was not as good as that of the armored warriors, it was much better than the stragglers in the team who wrapped bamboo splinters around their bodies.
Just after meeting those soldiers, Xue Changfeng discovered that most of the armors worn by these soldiers were not old-fashioned, and in terms of standard, they were standard two-level armor. The workmanship was rough, simple and practical, and this kind of armor was widely used in
It was very popular in the late Sui Dynasty. From this, we know that most of the armors worn by these soldiers should be the lost iron armor during the war in the late Sui Dynasty.
In the process of the Tang Dynasty sweeping away all the heroes in the world and unifying the world, not all the soldiers died in the battle or surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. A large number of the soldiers chose to live in seclusion in the countryside.
And their armors became heirlooms passed down to their descendants, so that they could at least have some power to protect themselves in case of danger.
Anyone who can become a soldier cannot be from the poor, because making a set of such armor is enough to ruin a wealthy landowner's family.
Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty's invincible Xuanjia Army only had 3,500 men at full strength. Emperor Taizong relied on this kind of armed force to defeat all the heroes in the world.
Seeing that Xue Changfeng was eating slowly, the white-haired soldier took out a piece of steaming beef from the pot and put it into Xue Changfeng's rice plate and said: "If you eat something, you should eat more. If you eat slowly here, you will suffer.
"
Xue Changfeng took a bite of beef and asked the old soldier: "How long are we going to fight?"
The old soldier pondered for a moment and said: "Someone won't give us who have some financial resources a way to survive. We have no choice but to continue fighting. Fighting, isn't it a matter of death and death? There will always be one side who needs to admit defeat."
OK, I don’t want to admit defeat, so I’ll fight to the end.”
Xue Changfeng took another bite of beef and felt that this old soldier seemed a bit upright. He didn't want his death to be unclear, so he whispered: "I was originally a guard in Luoyang, and I followed the caravan on long distances. Due to illness, I
Yanshi County was delayed for a while. After I recovered from my illness, I planned to leave Yanshi County. However, when I left Yanshi County, I found that I could not get out. There were government soldiers, government officials, and civilians outside, blocking the way.
In other words, today’s Yanshi County is a dead land, but you are fighting to the death here, and there will be no good results.”
After hearing Xue Changfeng's words, the old soldier was not surprised and asked: "Since you know so clearly, why do you still want to join us?"
Xue Changfeng raised the dinner plate in his hand and said, "It's because we don't have enough food and clothing."
The old soldier smiled when he heard this, nodded and said: "Since you want to eat, then eat more. In the afternoon, the thief Liao Wu will bring people to attack again."
Xue Changfeng saw that the old soldier seemed to have his own ideas, so he stopped talking. After eating and drinking, he found a sunny place and wrapped himself in a blanket and slept peacefully.
When the sun turned to the west, a rapid sound of gongs woke up Xue Changfeng, and there were people everywhere shouting about enemy attacks.
Unlike those messy people, the soldiers were obviously more calm. They put on their armor, girded their armor, and prepared their weapons in an orderly manner, full of the demeanor of a strong man.
Hu Laosan is also wearing armor, but he carries a black pennant on his back with a black tiger embroidered on it.
This black tiger is the symbol of Liu Heitai, the king of Eastern Han Dynasty.
After seeing this iconic flag, Xue Changfeng immediately understood why the troops outside were surrounding but not attacking.
Just because the owner of this flag is too terrifying!
I recall that when King Dou Jiande of Great Xia was beheaded in Chang'an by Tang King Li Yuan, Liu Heitai, a subordinate of the King of Great Xia, hid in his hometown in Zhangnan County to farm.
When Li Tang began to hunt down the old troops of Daxia King Dou Jiande on a large scale in Hebei and Shandong, Liu Heitai led a hundred and ten men, wearing only a few pairs of armor, to attack Zhangnan County and once again set up a
The banner of the King of Great Xia was raised.
On August 21, Liu Heitai captured Liting, and the garrison general Wang Xingmin died in the battle.
Dou Jiande's old generals killed Tang Dynasty officials one after another in response to the uprising.
On August 26, Cui Yuanxun, a native of Shenzhou, killed his governor Pei Xi and rebelled against Liu Heitai.
On August 29, Xu Yuanlang, the general manager of Yanzhou in the Tang Dynasty, also raised troops to respond.
In September, Liu Heitai defeated the allied forces of Li Shentong, king of Huai'an, and Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou.
On the sixth day of October, Liu Heitai captured Yingzhou, captured the governor Lu Shirui, and captured Guanzhou.
On November 19, Liu Heitai captured Dingzhou and killed the general manager Li Xuantong.
On November 27, Zhou Wenju, a native of Qizhou, killed the assassin Wang Xiaoju and surrendered to Liu Heitai.
On the third day of December, Liu Heita captured Jizhou and killed the general manager Qu Leng.
On December 12, Liu Heitai defeated Zuo Wuhou General Li Shiji in Songzhou, captured Xue Wanjun brothers alive, and the army was in great power.
The Turkic Jieli Khan also sent troops to help.
The Tang court was shaken, and on December 15th, it sent King Li Shimin of Qin and King Li Yuanji of Qi to attack Liu Heita.
Liu Heitao's troops continued unabated. From December 17th to 19th, they captured Xingzhou, Weizhou, and Shenzhou one after another in three days, and killed Pan Daoyi, the general manager of Weizhou.
Within half a year, Dou Jiande's original territory was completely restored.
Until Liu Heitai confronted Emperor Taizong in Luoshui. As a result, Emperor Taizong cut off Luoshui. Taking advantage of Liu Heitai's time to cross the river, he dug a dam and a flood drowned Liu Heitai's 20,000 elite cavalry.
Most of them, only about a thousand people, escaped with Liu Heita and defected to the Turks.
After Liu Heitai defected to the Turks, his aura of invincibility seemed to disappear all of a sudden. He was eventually captured alive by Li Jiancheng, the then crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and beheaded in Mingzhou.
Facing this flag, it was obvious that Li Zhi was very interested and seemed to want to see if this Hu Laosan had the potential to become the next Liu Heitai.
Xue Changfeng looked at Hu Laosan for a while and decided that Hu Laosan, who was carrying the Black Tiger flag, was not worthy of Liu Heitai's shoes.
Looking at the old soldier who was commanding the soldiers and the people to resist Liao Wu's attack, Xue Changfeng slowly got behind Hu Laosan, who did not dare to charge forward, and cut off Hu Laosan's neck with one knife.
, and took advantage of the chaos to take away the black tiger flag.
The killing only happened in an instant. The panicked people didn't even know that their boss was dead, but Xue Changfeng rushed forward like a tiger, killing no one knows how many Liao Wu people along the way, and finally
Rushed to the front of the team.
After taking a look at the front, Xue Changfeng decisively chose to retreat. He dodged left and right like a butterfly in the chaos and left the fiercest battlefield. Finally, he found an ownerless war horse and jumped on it.
He patted his horse and left the battlefield.
The reason why he did this was entirely because the battle situation was exactly as he expected, and a large number of soldiers appeared on Liao Wu's side...
After leaving the battlefield, Xue Changfeng found a big tree and climbed up. He found a stable branch and sat down. He took out the wine bottle given by Yin Erhu and drank while watching the battle.
Hu Laosan's death suddenly dispelled the military morale of those strong men, and Xue Changfeng's obvious behavior of escaping accelerated the collapse of this team. Except for those soldiers who were still with Liao Wu,
While the soldiers were fighting, the rest were experiencing the scene of being hunted down.
The only ones who can deal with soldiers are soldiers, and it is difficult for soldiers who fight in heavy armor to maintain their endurance very well. Therefore, in half an hour, Xue Changfeng witnessed the demise of the old soldier and his group.
.
Even to the point of death, not a single one of these soldiers surrendered, they just kept fighting until the last man was left.
Xue Changfeng's eyesight was very good, and he could see very clearly. The last soldier's neck was cut off by the soldier opposite him with a long knife, but he couldn't see clearly the shape of the flying human head, and he didn't know if it was.
The old soldier who gave him a piece of meat to eat.
Seeing Liao Wu and his group rushing straight to Sanchali, Xue Changfeng rode back to the battlefield that had been cleaned up.
He said that the battlefield was very clean because there were only stripped corpses left here. He searched for a long time on the battlefield before he found the head of the old soldier with a gray beard.
The head was found, but the body was nowhere to be found because there were headless corpses everywhere.
Having no other choice, he found the strongest corpse and placed the old soldier's head on it.
He found an abandoned well and threw the old soldier into it. He threw two thunder bombs into the well and turned around and left. With a loud bang, the thunder bombs collapsed the well. This was considered as repayment for the old soldier who gave him a piece of meat.
.
On the way to Yanshi County, Xue Changfeng kept looking at the black tiger flag. This flag was very old, and the surrounding patterns had faded, but the black tiger on it was still lifelike.
Seeing Yanshi City right in front of him, Xue Changfeng lit the black tiger flag with a fire stick and watched it burn to ashes.
After the last spark was extinguished, he whispered: "Boss Yin is right, some heroes really deserve to die."
