Chapter 009: War Horse Nickname, Rusty Dingtong

A standard fifty riders, in the Liang Mang border grassland galloped to the heavily guarded a ranch, Bei Liang emphasize the degree of horse government is unparalleled in the world, this standard everyone wear swords and crossbows, war horse is already a horse A class, obviously is a first-class elite fighting force, nothing else, they are the Bei Liang crossbowmen.

North Mang eighty kinds of horse columns, excluding Dong Zhuo with countless gold and silver fed out of the crow columns, there is no more crossbowmen in the eyes of the hostile scouts, this is not a crossbowman is not conceited, but with countless short combat bloody contact battle slowly accumulated confidence, as for the crossbow rider is considered to be the top of the white horse scouts in the majesty of the white horse, frankly, that is to casually carry out a ride, unusual border army lieutenants to see, that is, they must honestly go around the road. All have to honestly detour to make way, and convinced!

This standard small snow battalion travel crossbowman old department, just accumulated enough war work, to be able to all among the white horse scouts, so by the northern Liang capital guard Chu Lushan special gift permitted to go to the fiber away from the pasture to choose the war horse, this fifty riders, if not deserve to be proud of, under the sun who deserve to be proud of in front of them? This standard in the last year that the southern dynasty into a sieve in the battle, for the eight thousand dragon elephant army and the big snow dragon cavalry to open the way, pulling out the northern mang beacon more than ten, beheading no less than two hundred people, fifty deep into the hinterland of the scouts ultimately only four people left! They were Li Hanlin, the leader of the standard, Lu Dou and Li October, the deputy standard, and Fang Huotou, the leader of the troops.

Forty-six new riders, most of them are old scouts origin, but there are also from the Liangzhou border army to the small snow battalion of good hands, like the standard in the youngest Wu leader, but also the youngest travel crossbowman, nicknamed flea a doll-faced teenager, was once a Dragon Elephant Army cavalryman, personally participated in the battle of the Hulukou, kill the enemy of the four people, which is not too shocking, but can kill the horse eighteen horses, so that when the time to detail the record officer of the military achievements All staggering, this ancestor are border herders of young people also make people laugh and cry, do not want to military service, squatting in the war next to the death of his beloved saddle wailing, to the way of Yuan Zuozong and the cavalry vice marshal He Zhongshu were alarmed, He old general squatting beside the child patiently persuade half a day, but no use, angry old general slap in the head of the brat, angry, let the personal escort to bring a horse to ride not more than a half a decade of the divine steed, the young man did not talk to He Zhongshu. The divine steed, the young man did not talk to the commander what polite, reluctant to accept, but also a I accept is to give you face ah bastard attitude, if not Yuan Zuozong dragged away, grumpy He will be stretched out to kick the little son of a bitch.

This standard are not shouting juvenile name, anyway, the two horses are called small flea big flea, are used to shouting him flea, others if you dare to touch a little nowadays big flea, juvenile Wu long custodian and you fight, than touched his daughter-in-law and also a great deal of anger, this is not a joke, he has just become a crossbowman when the Wu long Hong Run suffered a bitter experience, the result is flexible hands such as the wild apes of the juvenile hard to beat into the head of a pig, the juvenile martial arts have no chapters! The young man’s martial arts have no rules and regulations, all do not know where to learn from the hands of the wild, especially horsemanship, masterful and skillful to lie on the back of a horse in the stampede to sleep, they have this standard, only the standard Li Hanlin can touch a touch of fleas, if you say that the fight, in fact, heavy pupil Lu Dou can casually flip over the young man, but can’t bear to this rash kid repeatedly defeated, can entangle with you for a few days and nights, Lu Dou is not good enough to kill the dead-eyed children, plus he did not have The interest to tease this subordinate, in the end, only left Li Hanlin can “a kiss”.

Already close to the North Liang one of the best fiber away from the pasture, the air is filled with the rich smell of horse manure, fifty riders almost at the same time, sniffing hard, full of intoxication, a lot of men in the greenhouse hook bar lying on the body of the tender flesh of the women, but also do not see such a comfortable. The teenage captain stood on the back of the horse flea, with feet firmly nailed into the horse’s back in general, looking around, quickly made a small snow battalion crossbowmen unique gestures, received “enemy” deputy standard Li October scolded with a smile: “flea, want to fight want to go crazy, and even the taste of women have not tasted, you a good good! Energetic young man, the last time the standard chief was not easy to take us to meat, to the green house, the brothers called one is too little, for fear of falling the standard chief of the prestige, you look at the Fang Hu Tou, on the call of the three sisters, not worried about our big family of Lord Li’s money is not enough drums, you do well, squatting in front of the door, said that it is to give us the lookout, are you not ashamed of yourself?”

Born fierce but extremely gentle nature of the Fang Hu Tou hehehe smile, touched the lips, some complacency.

Flea skimmed disdain: “What sister, shout aunt aunt are shouting small, before the old Wu long said that the old ox eats young grass, Fang Hu head is good, young ox eats old grass, white blind, this with the horse nibble grass root what difference, but also said I? I’m still ashamed of myself!”

Fang Hu Tou bared his teeth.

Li Hanlin laughed softly: “That green house in Liangzhou border is not bad, but compared to my hometown of Lingzhou side, really worse than a hundred thousand miles, as long as there is an opportunity in the future, I’ll take you to Lingzhou there ‘horseback riding’ to go, plump, thin, tall, petite, chin pointed, buttock and big breasts, there are all kinds.”

Horseback riding is the terminology of the Northern Liang Border Army, behind Li Hanlin more than forty riders are salivating face, there is also Li October this kind of directly wiped his mouth to wipe the saliva, only the teenager blankly said: “You guys fooling around, don’t take me with you. I have a big flea on the line. In the future, if there is a girl I really like, I will marry her.”

A bald-headed cavalryman sitting cross-legged on his horse’s back held a sweet grass stalk in his mouth and laughed, “Flea, you don’t like big men, do you think I’m any good? Brother I two hundred pounds of man, to have muscle muscle, to have physical strength, to have physical strength, to have gunnery, if you in case you try it does not like it, you can return it.”

Although the flea is a child, but from the army for many years, what messy dirty words have not heard, squinted at the big bald head, “Xie arch, you obediently ride your ass under the mare to go, no wonder every night to listen to your small date in the stables hissing, you take it easy, good treatment of the war horse is the iron law of our northern Liang, in case the small date is you Xie arch really give arch bad, our standard can not cover the long! You.”

Li October Fang Hu head of this group of brown men together laughed loudly, Xie Gong also do not think, shaking the bald head of the self-conscious laugh, but also did not forget to bend down to pat the back of the mount, this once used his fingers to the North Mang scouts eyeballs out of the picking out of the Han ate, with unusually gentle voice said: “small date ah, don’t with our general understanding of the chief of the army. The official is big and bullies people, the reasoning is good.”

This standard traveling crossbowmen originally did not give the habit of nicknames to the war horse, only the teenager to a standard fifty horses have taken a, such as Xie Gong’s small jujube, and Fang Hu head of the big round, Li October’s Meier, as well as Kang really old man, and so on, no one can escape, and over time, all people will be acquiescent.

Flea suddenly shouted: “The standard bearer!”

Li October said with white eyes, “Just your kid shits a lot, big or small? Can’t you hold back any longer, it’s just a few steps to the fiber away from the stable.”

The teenager broke into an unprecedented embarrassment and said, “Small.”

Li Hanlin snapped his fingers, fifty people separated their horses and horses in an instant, then stood in a row, pulled the Bei Liang sword behind them, then unbuckled the waistband of their pants in unison, while the fifty warhorses stopped their hooves almost at the same time, and each turned their horses’ heads, slowly stopping behind their masters.

Bei Liang 300,000 iron cavalry, the war horse is their real dependent daughter-in-law.

And than the real daughter-in-law to obey too much, more never leave.

How many Beiliang iron horsemen died in battle, and how many war horses died in hunger after their masters died?

“Bill chief, I heard that last time you went over to the Beimang Beacon Flint with Lu Vice Bill Li Vice Bill, killing all the way north, you liked to use the barbarian’s head as a urinal?”

“Nonsense.”

“You’re still polite and modest, oh, the brothers of the Little Snow Battalion all said so, even the president did not deny it. Lu vice standard, do you think so?”

“Spoon, you are still too young and ignorant ah, you ask Lu wooden head has egg use, ask my wise and godly jade tree wind Li vice standard Li adults only line well, I tell you the truth ah ……”

“Li deputy standard Li deputy standard, you wet your pants.”

“Ah? Your mother! Dare to lie to me, spoon line ah, just went to the greenhouse meat, you dare to make fun of your vice standard adults? Take it!”

“Day you immortal board board ah, Li deputy standard, your old man line ah, you pee all over me for what Oh, you instead of pee spoon to go ah ……”

“All right, all right, collect power! The old rules, who pissed the furthest, whose war horse is the first to enter the stable to eat grass. Who is it today?”

“Bill Li!”

“Yes, it’s definitely you, Mr. Li, this pee can definitely water the Northern Mang!”

“That’s right, who else can pee with style except for BLAIR COMMANDER LI? Anyone who is shameless should come forward! I’ll be the first to whip him!”

“Son of a bitch, other people slipped up and patted the horse also tolerated, obviously you Gao Changhong pissed the furthest, at least is a captain, a little bit of interest, okay! Li Biao long, this kind of son of a bitch even if you piss the farthest, can only be used as the bottom of the goods, so you are still the first, the nail in the coffin!”

Heavy pupil Lu Dou stroked his forehead, spread such a bunch of shameless subordinates, really a headache.

The standard Li Hanlin face, a serious nod, fasten the waistband of the pants, turned on the horse.

After a short period of playful banter, fifty white horse scouts all re-mounted, and then no one hangs around standing sitting lying down, all straighten their backs, fifty riders in order to “break into” fiber away from the ranch gate, just fifty people fifty knives and fifty crossbows, but whoever is in the way of who died of the domineering flames of the silence of the killing of the horse into the show to its fullest. The most important thing is that they are not the only ones who can show the most.

Horse field archery soldiers looked at this few fifty riders in a daze, heart and soul swaying, face has from the bottom of the heart worship and awe.

A group of people mounted on the top of Luohuqiu beacon platform, there is the old master Sun Xiji, still ranked fourth in the world’s martial arts evaluation of the green shirt scribe Cao Changqing, carrying a purple sandalwood sword box of Jiang Nai, and a dozen from the Red Deer Cave out of the remnants of the Western Chu, most of them follow their fathers and mothers retired from the mountains for many years of meritorious achievement after the young and strong, it is difficult to imagine that it is this group of young people will soon become a support for the restoration of the Western Chu dynasty of the pillar, which is the smallest age! One of the youngest, not yet and crown, back with four long swords, is the only remaining master of the sword in western Chu Lv Dantian grandson, called Lv Si Chu, his trip down the mountain, more is walking the jianghu, no one thought he mixed with the restoration of the country, only the young man in the Red Deer Cave with Li Chungang spent some time together, but at that time I do not know that the rice-planting old man in sheepskin is the God of the Sword, too late to regret, and then this time on the sneak out of the mountains, have to earn some fame to be I am willing to go back. The young man’s eyes have been secretly glancing at the front of the Princess Royal Highness, gently slapdash on the move away, time step long, a number of times, just around the elders now have no heart to pay attention to a child’s ignorance of the sentiments, and that rouge evaluation of the top three Jiang Nai is never to pay attention to this she always felt that did not grow up the clean-cut young man. Climbing the mountain, one of the top ten valves of the Spring and Autumn Pei’s “remnants” Pei Sui said softly: “the shape of the puppet of the King of Huainan Zhao Ying has been troops Slide Mountain, King Jingan Zhao Xun’s six thousand riders are also approaching the Penny Ao Lake, Yan Zhi Wang’s son Zhao Chu’s one thousand men and women, there is no sign of it for the time being. In my opinion, I want to want to strategy the north, or need to first take down these several under the banner of peace and stability of the king’s division, in order to eliminate future problems. Moreover, after their loss, all the feudal lords will have their own forces to rise up. I think Zhao Yi, the King of Guangling, will not gamble with his life and rise up to respond to the other feudal kings.”

A stout old general who has fought a hundred battles in the battlefield nodded his head and agreed: “Old master, Mr. Cao, Pei Sui’s words are not bad.”

Sun Xiji was struggling to climb the mountain, panting and seemingly ignoring it, Cao Changqing looked towards the monstrous Guangling River at the foot of Luohuqiu Mountain and smiled, “Xie Xijian, tell me about it.”

Xie Xijian is a slim young man, only four or five years older than Lu Si Chu, slowly said: “In this way, our troops are too scattered, just like Lu Shengxiang’s idea. Getting a moment of a place of profit, but the damage to the overall situation in the Central Plains, this is a trap set by the court of Liyang, the bait is the Spring and Autumn that the remnants of the dead countries repeatedly, so that we think that there is an opportunity to take advantage of, in fact, this kind of thing, can be compared with the real elite under the command of the Zhao room of tigers and wolves of the division, the East Vietnam, the Northern Han, the Southern Tang, are far from being twenty years ago, twenty years ago, not to mention the twenty years, only we still have a play in the Chu, since even the fight Since we can’t even rely on them to fight, let’s not expect them to be able to achieve great things, to fight for the world this kind of thing, just shouting is not helpful.”

Pei Sui was refuted to his face by a guy younger than himself, but did not get angry, but fell into deep thought.

Xie Xijian, who was the only one in the line who came from a cold and common family, did not have the slightest stage fright, stopped, stretched out his finger, and scratched from the west to the east, and said in a deep voice: “According to the situation theory of the first general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Gu Dazu, due to the world’s geographic situation of the world as a whole for the north-west is high in the south-east is low, and the mountain ranges and waterways are mostly in the east-west horizontal column, so that north and south confront each other, and often the north is more than the south, especially in the south-east, which was covered by the sea, and lacked room for maneuver. The two sides of the southeast are covered by the sea, lack of room for maneuver, and are located in lowlands, not easy to attack, mostly in a defensive position. Many of the southern partisan regimes like to rely on large rivers, with the boat division of the water war to deter the northern cavalry of the land struggle. But is located in the middle of the north and south of the Guangling Road, and not too different, both the natural advantages of guarding the river, but also has a geographic victory with the two Huai towns of the lips and teeth of the valuable foundation, so if the guarding of the river can not be, you can retreat to guard the Huai, can not be done, there are still guarding the river this last retreat, not to a rout of a thousand miles. Since we have such a geographical advantage, there are people and, it should not be wasted, on two things, one thing is to hit people, directly focusing on the troops, looking for opportunities to rout Lu Shengxiang Yang Shen Xing Yan Zhenchun, a hammer, to fight, we must directly break their military morale. The second thing is very easy, beaten, guarding the river there are four major towns, guarding the Huai have six places, now all in our hands, let those feudal princes to fight is, just by them?”

Cao Changqing neither said Xie Xijian said right, nor said it was wrong, softly laughed: “Continue to say, know that your kid has Xie half sentence nickname.”

Xie Xijian nodded and said, “The matter of being beaten, it is not that Xie Xijian underestimates the heroes of the world, it is really that I, Chu, have the upper hand, not enough to worry about. When the Xu family iron cavalry vastly south, we guard the river general mutiny, but guard the Huai guard river two battle lines, still let Xu Snapdragon ate all the pain, the princess tomb death battle, halberdiers according to the Jing River, then to the western base wall duel, together with many small and medium-sized battles, which is not a fight is not only left with bones and not left with the meat? At that time almost to the point that today Xu Snapdragon gave Chu Lushan 3,000 soldiers and horses he will be able to fight all the people on the same day, if it is not Chen Zhi Bao’s method of soldiers to the realm of every penny counts, if it is not a very good outlook on the situation of Yuan Zuozong can win a few key battles, Xu Snapdragon may not be able to swallow the elephant to eat a bite to eat the western base wall of the momentum of the snake …… ”

The young man said here, the old master Sun Xiji suddenly lamented: “Unfortunately, history is not if not if, the king loses the enemy, the great Chu into the dead West Chu, Liyang jumped to become the world’s co-owner, in fact, at that time, the great Chu viewed Liyang, as now Liyang viewed the North Mang, the same are uncivilized barbarians, wearing scholarly clothes and crowns, is still not worth mentioning. ”

Xie Xiyuan respected the old master, waiting quietly for a moment, see the old man should not have the following, then continued: “Now Liyang and our Chu war will start, Zhao room hearts are insufficient, thinking that the victory is in the bag, a two-fold, to play on two sets of chessboard at the same time to win, one is to play to win us, one is to play to win the world. We actually do not need so much trouble, Liyang want to borrow the Chu knife to kill, the Spring and Autumn remnants of the only hanging that breath also pinch off, that also depends on whether they have the ability to hold on to this knife, so we out of the knife to be fast, accurate, ruthless, Tai’an City in the final analysis, there are only two banners, one of which is the Gu Jiantang’s old forces, has long been moved to the north of two Liao Border, one of which is the Lu Baijie Lu Shengxiang Ministry of the army of the double Lu, the head of the newborn forces, the Gu Jiantang is constrained by the north of Mangshan, and the old forces, the newest and most important, the newborn forces, the newborn forces. Gu Jiantang is constrained by North Mang, while Lu Shengxiang has not yet gained enough wings to lead his troops south, if you don’t kill him now, when will you wait?”

Pei Sui frowned: “Lu Shengxiang is originally an old man of Guangling Spring Snow House, he is not a stranger to us, so he won’t be able to hide a response?”

Xie Xijian shook his head and said, “Lu Shengxiang knows is one thing, whether he can do is another thing, say a Ministry of War, he Lu Shengxiang is only the left minister, not even Shangshu, how can he control Yang Shen Xing Yan Zhenchun these Spring and Autumn meritorious veterans? Not to mention ……”

Pei Sui laughed: “Xie half sentence, the second half of the sentence do not need you to say, I know, the Zhao family son of heaven is conceited beyond measure, is not intended to let us taste a little bit of sweetness, as you say, a few feudal king’s forces are fish bait, since the Liyang court dares to harbor this contempt for the mind, we may as well be generous with the pole to climb up.”

Xie Xijian smiled heartily.

Sun Xiji walked into the beacon flint, climbed the stairs, came to the apex, looking at the foot of the mountain rolling eastward, except Cao Changqing Jiang Nai, the others intentionally or unintentionally have retreated far away.

The old man blandly said, “The court asked me to return here as the strategic ambassador of Guangling Road, it is just four words, invite the king into the jar.”

Cao Changqing softly said, “The Deer Mountain forces, as well as Huang Sanjia’s spies around Guangling Dao, are all for our use.”

The old man turned his head to look at the Confucian saint with his own eyes, and said with pathos, “Changqing, Da Chu has dragged you down.”

Cao family dragon carp most pleased, young after entering the palace, under the master Li Mi, more head show in the palace of Chu, after ten years of fame, always do a king’s courtier chess waiter, as the actor. After the destruction of Chu, if it is not this Cao official son, with one man against the city of Tai’an, who can still remember Chu is still someone in!

Cao Changqing shook his head and said, “Old Elder Master, you should know what I am seeking and know that I have no regrets.”

The old man braced his hands on the wall bricks.

Luo Huqiu beacon flint a legitimate value of young beacon son to such a large group of big shots standing in the top floor, only to be held halberd, shrinking in the corner, but can not suppress the full cavity of excitement, the old eunuch, Cao official son, and Princess Your Highness, originally as long as to see any one, this life is worth it ah!

When the waist of the sword Beacon saw that the rosewood sword box woman toward their own, stayed like a wooden chicken.

To Royal Sword Tai’an City famous beautiful woman gently stretched out her fingers, Fenzi sword out of the sheath, fell in her hands, she gazed at the old sword just moved out of the arsenal to see the light of day, with her fingers to wipe away a few threads of rust that is difficult to wipe off the ordinary people, knocking finger a play, a series of tinkling sound, as pleasant as a wind chime.

The beacon son all do not know how to receive from the hands of Her Highness the sword, the whole person is soulful.

Sun Xiji and Cao Changqing looked at each other and smiled.

Jiang Nai said softly, “I’m going to take another look at the western base wall.”

Cao Changqing nodded.

The young woman put her fingers together and wiped them forward, the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow clanging out of its sheath as she stood on top of the sword and floated, falling down with the imperial sword before making a sharp turn and rushing along the waters of the Great River to the Western Basement Wall Ancient Battlefield Ruins.

Lu Si Chu quickly walked to the side of the building, looking at that figure, the teenager has long seen Her Highness in Jiangnan that mountainous and beautiful Red Deer Cave, but I remember that time Jiang sister practicing sword laziness, the realm is not very deep, she only learned the Royal Sword of this aptitude, but the Royal Sword in the air, but not more than a few feet above the ground, but also shaky. The young man only knows Jiang sister went to a trip to the North Mang, the realm will be a thousand miles a day, he is simply not as good as the horse, before you need to look up to the high and mighty her, think that in the future is even more so. The young man sighed, I do not know what kind of man Jiang Nai sister will like in the future, anyway, it will not be him Lu Si Chu.

Sun Xi Ji suddenly lowered his voice and said indignantly, “What virtue and ability does that Xu family’s little boy have to be worthy of our Princess Highness!”

Cao Changqing’s eyes were gentle as he said softly, “I don’t know where it started, I don’t know where it will end.”

The old eunuch was still furious and snorted coldly.

Cao Changqing had a sentence placed in his heart.

Xu Fengnian, if I, Cao Changqing, one day turn from a Confucian to a Hegemon, and twice in my life I am amongst the realm of the Land Gods, and I am still unable to protect Her Highness, you must not let me down!
