Jia Rong was no longer polite. He dodged a knife from a soldier and slashed at the soldier's head with his sword. The green sword cut iron like clay. The soldier's head was immediately cut off, and a stream of blood flowed out.
It sprayed onto the roof, and the people in the house were sprinkled with blood, and the roof also turned into blood.
After a few rounds, Jia Rong knocked down several more soldiers. At this time, Jia Rong was like a demon king from hell, covered in blood.
The soldiers under Li Bing no longer dared to rush forward and retreated out of the door in fear.
Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves, and more than a hundred cavalry were seen rushing over.
As he approached the study, he neatly dismounted from his horse and surrounded the soldiers. Guo Bang stepped forward and shouted: "Put down your weapons."
Looking at the eagerly looking soldiers around them and the bright weapons in their hands, those soldiers hurriedly dropped their weapons on the ground and looked at the sudden group of cavalry in horror.
It turned out that the cavalry led by Jia Rong rushed over. Jia Rong walked too fast and they failed to follow. In addition, Jia Rong disappeared after entering the city. After several inquiries, they found out that Jia Rong was here, so they rushed to the city.
Come to the study room.
Seeing Jia Rong come out covered in blood, Guo Bang and Jiang Yu hurriedly stepped forward. Seeing that Jia Rong was fine, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Guo Bang was not a religious man. Although he didn't understand what was going on, he still saw something. He said to the cavalry: "These people dare to attack your general, give me a hard beating." Guo Bang said.
After that, he walked up to Li Bing who was hiding aside, kicked him to the ground, and beat him severely.
When these soldiers heard this, they were not polite. Jia Rong was the person they respected most, so they kicked these soldiers with all their strength.
After a burst of banging, the soldiers who had been arrogant towards Jia Rong just now were beaten to the ground, wailing incessantly.
Jia Rong walked up to the stunned Magistrate Li and asked in a low voice: "Can you tell me? Otherwise, I won't mind cutting off your head."
How could County Magistrate Li still have the airs of ordinary people? The sudden change of situation had already made him as honest as his grandson; Magistrate Li told Jia Rong one by one all the information he knew about Lijia Village being robbed by bandits in a trembling voice.
He glanced at Jia Rong from time to time, fearing that Jia Rong would kill him if he got angry.
Before Jia Rong could say anything, Li Hu on the side thrust his foot towards Magistrate Li and cursed: "Damn it, how did you become the magistrate? I'll see if I don't kill you." After saying that, he drew his sword.
I want to cut it off to County Magistrate Li.
After hearing what Magistrate Li said, the cavalrymen also vented their anger and punched and kicked the soldiers who were knocked down beside them.
Guo Bang grabbed Li Hu and said, "Don't be reckless."
County Magistrate Li struggled to get up from the ground and defended in a low voice: "Those bandits are too powerful. I don't have enough troops, so I can't do anything to them."
After Jia Rong listened to County Magistrate Li's story about what happened to Lijiacun, Wu Mingye was furious, and his right hand holding the Qingzhi Sword turned white from excessive exertion.
Jia Rong tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart and asked through gritted teeth: "Where are those bandits?"
Magistrate Li hurriedly replied: "In Hutoushan."
Jia Rong kicked Magistrate Li to the ground who had just stood firm, and said angrily: "If you dare to prey on the common people in the future, I will kill you when I come back."
After speaking, Jia Rong shouted to the cavalry he brought: "Let's go to Hutoushan."
Looking at the furious Jia Rong, Guo Bang shook his head, walked to Magistrate Li, who was struggling to get up again, and the corners of his mouth were twitching, and asked: "How many bandits are there in Hutou Mountain, and how strong are they?"
Magistrate Li was afraid that Guo Bang would do this to him again, so he hurriedly replied: "There are about seventy bandits in Hutoushan. They are all extremely vicious people. They usually make a living by robbing homes and people who pass by."
.”
After Guo Si heard this, he felt relieved. There were more than 70 people, and he should not have a problem with more than 100 people. He hurriedly got on his horse and followed.
It turned out that a year ago, a group of bandits gathered on Hutou Mountain, more than ten miles away from Lijia Village. They usually ransacked villages and robbed women back to their villages. Many women died unwilling to endure the humiliation. It was these bandits who committed all kinds of evil.
The best way to describe it is that since there are quite a few of them, and they are all murderers who are willing to kill people, the cowardly Magistrate Li does not dare to provoke them, and it is too late to hide from them.
According to County Magistrate Li, after these bandits looted Lijia Village, no one in the village was left alive.
A group of more than a hundred people rode horses towards Hutou Mountain. The mountain road was rugged, and riding horses was cumbersome. The group stopped in a small forest about five miles away from Hutou Mountain.
A day of continuous running was unbearable for a person, let alone a war horse. However, the angry Jia Rong could not care so much. Only after Guo Bang's repeated dissuasion did Jia Rong agree to rest in the woods for a while.
The cavalry galloping in the cold wind were able to rest and rub their frozen hands constantly. The horses also kept neighing in the cold wind, seeming to vent their dissatisfaction.
After dismounting, Jia Rong sat alone on the snow in the forest and stroked the green sword, as if quietly comforting it.
Guo Bang came to sit next to Jia Rong, patted Jia Rong's shoulder and said, "Second brother, don't be too sad. I understand how you feel at this time."
Jia Rong just stroked the Qingzhi Sword repeatedly, full of tenderness. Suddenly Jia Rong held the Qingzhi Sword tightly and let out a hysterical roar from his throat: "Whoever hurts my relatives must die!"
"Those bandits must die, and my second brother should consider the overall situation. I have no objection to you seeking revenge from the bandits. You are a bloody man; but you are now a general in charge of the army, and you should learn to put one priority first in everything.
Face it calmly, look at you now leading more than a hundred soldiers to run for a day, the soldiers are exhausted, and you are still thinking of going up the mountain for revenge tonight, you should be responsible for the lives of the soldiers!" Guo Bang whispered!
Advise.
Jia Rong retorted: "No, I can't stand it. I can't wait for a moment. I really can't stand those bandits living in the world for a little longer."
"Don't worry, I won't force my soldiers. This is my private matter. Even if they don't want to go, I will go to Hutou Mountain alone to avenge Xiuer and the people of Lijiacun!" Jia Rong roared.
.
Seeing Jia Rong's face distorted with excitement, Guo Bang continued to persuade: "Second brother, how can you say such reckless words at this time? Is the eldest brother a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? A mere man's courage is now the enemy's
The situation is unknown. If you unfortunately died in the hands of those bandits, would you be worthy of Xiu'er, worthy of the soldiers who followed you, and worthy of your parents?" After speaking, Guo Bang gave Jia Ronglai a hard blow.
A punch.
After Guo Si's repeated dissuasion, Jia Rong's mood became much calmer. Yes, he is not alone now. He not only bears Xiu'er's hatred, but also shoulders the responsibility of the soldiers behind him. These soldiers respect him and obey him.
, I shouldn’t play with their lives.
Jia Rong nodded gratefully to Guo Bang, then got up and went to the place where the soldiers rested.
The soldiers who were resting consciously moved closer to Jia Rong and looked at Jia Rong quietly.
Jia Rong said slowly: "Everyone has heard that Lijia Village was looted and the whole village was killed. I decided to leave for Hutou Mountain tomorrow."
"Of course, this is just my personal hatred. I won't force any of you. It doesn't matter if you don't want to go. You are still my soldier, and I won't do anything to you because of it." Jia Rong continued.
As soon as Jia Rong finished speaking, Jiang Yu stood up immediately and said with firm eyes: "Jiang Yu will follow the general to the death. Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, Jiang Yu will never back down."
More than a hundred soldiers also shouted in a low voice: "Follow the general to the death."
Guo Si from a distance saw this scene and nodded.
A relieved smile appeared on Jia Rong's face and he said: "You are all my good brothers!"
The soldiers were also very excited. Jia Rong had always been someone they respected and admired, and now their general treated them as brothers. This alone was worth fighting for Jia Rong.
Jia Rong paced and pondered for a long time, and said in a slow but firm tone: "The fifth watch is when people are most sleepy. We will set off at the fourth watch tomorrow to go to Hutou Mountain for revenge!"
All the soldiers roared in unison: "Revenge! Revenge!"
"Everyone, please go to bed early!" After saying that, Jia Rong turned and left.
The soldiers looked at the lonely figure of the general who used to constantly guide them in training, think about everything for them, chat with them when nothing happened, and care about them. Thinking about the brutal murder of the general's beloved woman, many soldiers secretly clenched their hands.
fist.
In winter, the nights in the mountains were extremely cold. In order not to be exposed, they did not even light bonfires. However, these soldiers did not complain at all and rested in small groups hugging each other.
Jia Rong sat quietly on a high ground, letting the north wind blow on his face, looking at the shadowy mountains under the moonlight. Jia Rong couldn't help but think of Xiu'er, the Xiu'er who was always shy and blushing.
He didn't even know when Li Li, Li Hu, and Li Shun came to him.
Shaking his groggy head, Jia Rong stood up and was about to leave, when he saw the seven people around him.
Jia Rong asked in surprise: "When did you come? Why don't you rest?"
"We've been here for a long time and can't sleep," Li Shun said.
Jia Rong moved his slightly numb joints and said, "I know you feel uncomfortable. When something like this happens, the hatred in my heart is no less than yours."
"Although I lived in Lijiacun for a short time, I have always regarded Lijiacun as home." Jia Rong continued.
Li Hu said with red eyes: "Brother Jia, we must avenge them!"
Please accept, please help, please give me rewards! Your support is the driving force for the progress of the cavalry!
