The north wind howled by, and the pine torches everywhere suddenly flickered and went out. The military flags hung high in the walled city to show their majesty were blown and crackled, mixed with the horrified shouts of hundreds of people.
"Xiao Baihu is dead! Xiao Baihu is dead! What happened? What should I do?"
"That Guo Liulang is here! He...he is not dead! He killed Xiao Baihu!"
"Everyone, come together to avenge Xiao Baihu!"
"Go, go quickly!"
"Don't push, don't push me! Ahhh! Ahhhh!"
The old site of Gaoyangguan was not small in size, and when Xiao Haohu was rebuilding it, he also strived to be grand in scale. Therefore, the school grounds were wide, and the space surrounded by high walls around the city was several times the size of the school grounds.
But at this time, all kinds of panicked shouts and irritable curses echoed between the high walls, intertwined into a thick network, and covered the sky above the walled city, making everyone breathless and making everyone's emotions...
They almost want to lose control.
The people at the back were affected by the panic in the front and subconsciously shouted and pushed forward, while the people in the front were retreating.
In the hearts of hundreds of people, Guo Ning still stood calmly, neither speaking nor moving.
Occasionally he raised his eyes and stared at someone who was yelling and yelling irritably in the queue. That person immediately stopped talking nonsense.
Although the firelight flickered, Xiao Haohu's head, which was being stepped on by Guo Ning's feet, was still quite conspicuous. The originally majestic face had turned blue-gray, and his eyes were protruding, as if they would roll off at any time. A moment ago, the owner of this head was still
Being so complacent and full of ambition, this situation and this situation are filled with indescribable horror and ridiculousness.
Someone accidentally stepped on Tang Gudai's corpse. The corpse's arms and legs twitched from time to time. When he kicked it down, blood overflowed from the remaining part of the head. The man was so frightened that he screamed and tried his best.
Keep some distance.
When the Jin army was strong in those days, they used their lives to fight with perseverance and perseverance, and they were sure to die if they were cool. The method of their team was to have the five commanders strike the watch, and the even commanders to carry the banners. The hundred commanders carried drums, and the thousand commanders were equipped with flags, gold and drums. The commanders of the troops fought.
If a hundred commanders die in battle, all four of them will be beheaded. If a hundred commanders die in battle, all commanders will be beheaded. When people in the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties saw this scene, they sighed and said: "People are like tigers, horses are like dragons, they go up the mountain like apes, and they go down into the water."
Like an otter, its momentum is like Mount Tai, while China is like a dangerous egg."
If Xiao Haohu's men were all such strong soldiers, the moment Guo Ning killed Xiao Haohu, he would be cut into pieces and cut into pieces.
Unfortunately, this is an old almanac.
After the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the Jurchens' military law was weakened, and the military and political system deteriorated at an unimaginable speed. Many of the fierce military officers were arrogant and unable to endure hard work, and the soldiers were poor and timid. They have long lost their former abilities. Now in northern Xinjiang
Those who fought have always been the Khitans, Bohai people, Xi people, Han people, and even the more backward tribal soldiers known as the "Yi Army".
There are warriors among these ethnic groups who are strong enough to defend the frontier. However, their loyalty, cohesion and even fighting will all rely on the strength of the Jin Dynasty itself.
When the Jin Kingdom was strong and powerful, many tribes were willing to be lackeys and went to war to fight. But once the Jin Kingdom was weak, many contradictions and conflicts that had been suppressed suddenly broke out. After several consecutive battlefield defeats, the top-down
Everyone was frightened, and the originally regimented army turned into a rabble.
Xi Jun, whom Xiao Haohu relied on, was originally a little more decent.
But after the defeat into Hebei, in order to maintain their morale and maintain their loyalty to the leader, Xiao Haohu continued to allow them to rob property and insult women.
Therefore, they are no longer an army.
Even if they receive military training, are properly equipped with weapons, and build castles, they are not an army, but outright bandits, a group of thieves driven by greed.
Bandits are different from the army. Bandits only obey leaders who can bring them benefits. Other than that, they don't know who they are fighting for and why they are fighting.
So the situation before us occurred.
Xiao Haohu died in front of the soldiers, but hundreds of soldiers didn't know how to react. They couldn't even boost their morale in a short time, they just crowded around noisily and chaotically.
With.
Maybe in a little while, some of these soldiers will wake up.
Guo Ning himself puts himself in his shoes and thinks that the best way is to raise the banner of revenge for the leader. Whoever can kill Guo Ning will be the new leader.
However, Guo Ning was here proudly, shocking the whole audience. Faced with the murderer who easily killed Xiao Haohu, for a moment, who dared to jump out and make the first move?
They still have to be confused for a while.
This little time is enough for Guo Ning to escape.
Guo Ning lightly kicked Xiao Haohu's head.
The head rolled forward like a bone. The soldiers blocking the rolling route subconsciously retreated.
Guo Ning stepped towards the gap where the soldiers retreated, and followed the road he had passed along the way, towards the village gate.
His steps were not fast but steady. Xiao Haohu's subordinates looked at Guo Ning in horror and continued to retreat.
In the middle of the road, Yu Jingchun was trapped in the crowd, terrified by the threats of dozens of swords.
Guo Ning's murderous move was completely beyond Yu Jingchun's expectations, but he quickly reacted.
This fierce soldier who wielded a knife to kill people deceived both families at the same time, making them think that he belonged to the other party. Then he swaggered into Gaoyang Pass and walked up to Xiao Haohu.
Now Xiao Haohu is dead. There is no doubt that everyone thinks that Guo Ning is from Yujiazhuang and killed people on the orders of me, Yu Jingchun! If the hundreds of people in front of me are angry with me... then there will be big trouble.
?Wouldn’t my group of people be killed on the spot?
A young man behind Yu Jingchun came up with a quick idea: "Master, now we can only rely on this man's prestige to withdraw with him, and then we will argue! If there is a slight delay, hundreds of people will go crazy..."
"Fart!" Yu Jingchun cursed angrily, then lowered his voice: "Go out with him? Doesn't this make it clear that we will attack and kill Xiao Haohu?"
"I've already killed him, what else can I do? This man came in with you, sir, and hundreds of people saw it! This means he has yellow mud in his crotch, it's either feces or feces! It's better to go with the flow..."
Yu Jingchun was stunned for a moment. He was a smart man, and he would understand as soon as he was reminded. He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Then cheer up... When the soldier comes to me, you will protect me, follow me closely in formation, and we will go out together."
!”
"The master is wise!"
After the two of them exchanged a few words, Guo Ning had already walked up to Yu Jingchun.
"Mr. Yu, thank you." Guo Ning smiled kindly.
Yu Jingchun looked at the young man with a complicated expression and simply didn't know how to answer.
He only coughed twice and followed Guo Ning.
The strong men from Yujiazhuang followed immediately.
These dozen people, surrounded by hundreds of people, were not much strength. But when they stood behind Guo Ning, they seemed to form a huge deterrent in an instant. Many people were crowded at the village gate in front of the road.
, and now they retreated with a splash, clearing the entire road.
The crowd retreated, and Wang Shixian and others, who had been kidnapped by Wu Hua Da and escorted to the school grounds, were left where they were.
Wang Shixian watched Guo Ning come over, his eyes were shining, his body twisted even more joyfully, and he suppressed a series of shouts from his blocked mouth: "Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!"
Yu Jingchun tried his best to calm down, but in fact he was sweating profusely and his legs were weak. If he wanted to follow his wishes, he didn't care whether he was an acquaintance or a stranger at the moment. Preserving his life was the most important thing! The first step was to open this den of thieves quickly.
How can you care about anything else?
However, Guo Ning stopped and waved his hand: "Untie them for them!"
Naturally, Xiao Haohu's subordinates would not respond, but no one stood up to obstruct it.
There was a moment of silence in the field. Fortunately, the young man who gave Yu Jingchun the idea reacted quickly and was very courageous. He rushed over and slashed with his knife, cutting off the hemp ropes that tied the three people.
Wang Shixian threw off the rope, took out the cloth gagged with his backhand, and retched twice.
His clothes were ragged and badly worn. You could see that he had several injuries on his body, including knife wounds, wounds from sticks or whips, and a finger on his left hand was cut off, with blood dripping from the wounds everywhere.
Very scary.
But he was also tough enough and looked at ease as if he didn't feel any pain at all. He trotted up to Guo Ning and saluted deeply.
Guo Ning waved to him and continued walking out.
Wang Shixian turned around and helped his two companions to one place. Seeing that they were moving around without any problems, he turned back and followed Guo Ning closely.
Seeing the gate of the village, he suddenly said in a deep voice: "Guo Liulang, these hundreds of soldiers are in a state of panic. You can gather them all!"
Guo Ning kept walking and chuckled twice.
He shook his head and said: "I don't have any use for this kind of stuff! If you are interested, why not stay and give it a try?"
Wang Shixian looked back at the noisy city wall.
Then, he sighed: "That's all, Liu Lang, I'll go with you!"
