Chapter 348 The Second Phase of the Court Mission!

Chapter 348

For an instant, time seemed to stand still.

The iron-clad horse thieves who were rushing in the direction of Wang Chong and others stopped suddenly. Even the fiercest horse thieves looked at the neat and unmoving Datang cavalry array in the distance. It was also fear in my heart, and I stopped moving forward.

This is true even for powerful horse bandits, let alone other bandits.

The official roads, hillsides, and woods are all dead silent as far as the eye can see.

A strong, choking smell of blood wafted violently in the air. In this short contact, Wang Chong's side was unharmed again, while the iron-clothed horse bandit side left more than 60 corpses.

Seeing is believing!

Although I knew that the one hundred brothers died in the hands of Wang Chong and the others, and I knew that the strength of the official army was stronger than that of the horse bandits, but all of this was not as good as Wang Chong's forty Tang cavalry. To the shock and shock.

At this moment, each of the official iron cavalry lined up was like a demon coming out of hell, giving people an invisible but substantial pressure.

"Mumble!"

A bandit slipped his throat and swallowed hard, his pale face was full of horror. The unmoving Datang iron cavalry is far more shocking and terrifying than charging.

For so many years on the westbound road, he never thought that among the six or seven hundred bandits and horse bandits, he would be afraid of a group of Tang cavalry with no more than forty people!

"These guys... are too strong!"

The same thought flashed through the minds of many people, and some bandits almost unanimously retreated in the crowd.

Having witnessed the power of the cavalry charging with their own eyes, they no longer believed that they could be safe among the crowd.

"Very good!"

"It's really unexpected that these guys are so powerful!"

"That kid, we really underestimated him. No one who was born as a commoner can have this kind of military accomplishment. And there is no one who was born as a commoner can bring out the power of a 40-man iron cavalry. I was wrong. , he is definitely a son of a wealthy family in Beijing, and he is also the most powerful military family!"

"White-hoofed crow,

Bai Siling was right! Who the hell is this guy? "

...

On the hillside, Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu and the remaining Tang cavalry were equally shocked and speechless. If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they couldn't believe it. The iron cavalry just now was the same cavalry unit as them.

That kind of charge and fighting power is amazing.

Relying on their own strength, they abruptly dispersed the attack of the iron-clothed horse thieves and disintegrated their offensive.

As a result, the five or six hundred iron-clothed horse thieves who had been besieging them now had to focus on defending Wang Chong and Bai Siling on the official road on the east side.

This is simply unbelievable.

And all of this was done under Wang Chong's command. The ultimate calmness, rationality, and decisiveness were even more impressive to Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu than the charge of forty cavalry.

Before this, the two had always been sarcastic, sarcasm, and difficult to Wang Chong, thinking that he was just a humble commoner in the Kunwu training camp.

But at this moment, how dare the two of them have such thoughts.

No one can command a forty-man cavalry to achieve the effect just now, no matter whether it is Longwei or Shenwei.

That is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

There is a strong feeling in the hearts of the two of them now that Wang Chong is definitely a child of a certain aristocratic family in the capital, and he is also an extremely powerful one.

But such a character, the two had never heard of it before.

"Who the hell is this guy?"

Under a red maple tree riddled with holes and full of arrows, Xu Qian muttered to himself. Now he also has a strong curiosity about Wang Chong's identity.

"Bastard!"

The most angry person at this time is Li Tieyi, the leader of the iron-clothed horse thief on the giant rock. Counting the horse bandits who died earlier, there were a total of three waves of contact. Wang Chong's forty people had already killed nearly 200 bandits and horse bandits under him.

This kind of loss can definitely be regarded as a serious injury!

Although most of the dead were bandits who had taken refuge here, this did not ease the anger in Li Tieyi's heart at all.

"How long is Zhou An?"

Li Tieyi looked into the distance and said in a deep voice, the anger in his eyes was about to burst out.

"It will take a while."

Zhou An said in a deep voice, he was also very uncomfortable. To some extent, this was actually his dereliction of duty:

"Don't worry, sir, they will have nowhere to escape when the arrangement is completed. At that time, sir, you can do whatever you want. But before that, please wait for a while."

"Hmph, I'll just listen to you for a while!"

Li Tieyi flicked his sleeves and endured again. He has always trusted the military adviser by his side. But this time the loss was really too great.

Even if he wins like this, it will damage his prestige in the future.

The breeze blew by, and the surroundings were quiet.

The official road, the hillside, and the corner on the east side, the three sides face each other from a distance, all are quiet, not even the voice of talking.

Unknowingly, the iron-clothed horse thief's defense focus has shifted from Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu on the hillside to Wang Chong and the others.

Even the real martial arts masters around Li Tieyi were all sent to the left side of the official road. Having lost nearly 200 subordinates in a row, Li Tieyi couldn't bear more losses.

And after nearly 80% of the attack was transferred to Wang Chong and the others, the remaining troops simply couldn't concentrate on attacking Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu.

The tripartite forces have thus fallen into a stalemate.

"Cuckoo!"

I don't know how long it took before a sudden change occurred. Under the gaze of countless eyes, a white shadow appeared faintly in the sky, and a white dove suddenly landed from the sky waving its wings.

In an instant, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely weird.

collapse!

The bowstring vibrated, and before the pigeon landed, an iron arrow came across, and blood splashed with just one arrow, piercing the pigeon's body.

And looking along the iron arrow, on the hillside, the leader of a horse thief in iron clothes is slowly drawing his bow.

"It's the court pigeon!"

It was too late to say it, but it was so fast, seeing the golden hoop on the pigeon's right leg, Captain Zhang Ren's expression tightened, he shook his whip, and jumped into the air. Before the pigeon was taken away by the force of the arrow, A whip wrapped around the dead carrier pigeon in the air and pulled it back.

The purpose of the iron-clothed horse thief was to prevent everyone from passing on the news. Seeing that the carrier pigeon was dead, they didn't do anything else.

"How is Captain Zhang?"

"Did the carrier pigeon say something?"

Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu's expressions tightened, and they looked over together. Even Wang Chong and Bai Siling in the distance also looked over.

For so many days, this is the first time that everyone has received a carrier pigeon from the imperial court.

Zhang Ju didn't speak, took off a golden lacquered bamboo tube from Zhongxinge's leg, carefully pulled out a paper roll from inside, opened it, spread it out, and looked carefully.

"Received the mission of the second stage of the imperial court!"

After reading the content on the paper, Zhang Ju not only did not have the slightest joy on his face, but showed a wry smile instead.

"ah?!"

Both Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu were stunned. Received the second phase of the mission from the imperial court at this time?

"Lieutenant Zhang, what is the mission?"

Xu Qian propped himself up, walked over and asked. For some reason, he always felt that Zhang Ju's expression was a little weird.

"See for yourself."

Zhang Ju didn't say much, and handed over the letter in his hand. Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu took a look at it, and their expressions became strange.

There is not much content on the letter paper, only a few simple sentences:

"Task of the second stage: Now Tez orders 80 people from the sixth echelon to destroy the iron-clothed horse thief Li Tieyi and his followers!"

"What's the joke?"

Huang Yongtu looked angry, and violently threw the letter paper in his hand on the ground as if venting:

"Announce the second phase of the task for us at this time? Do you think we are not dying fast enough? Besides, look outside, there are probably seven or eight hundred horse bandits and bandits overwhelming the sky. Is it possible to deal with it with just a few people? Let alone Li Tieyi, you are not even Li Xiaowei's opponent."

"What kind of goddamn mission is this!"

"Huang Yongtu, you are crazy! Pay attention to your words, are you going to hide from the court now?"

Xu Qian warned in a deep voice.

"Damn it, I'm going to die, and I still care about this!"

Huang Yongtu said bitterly, with a hideous and distorted expression.

No one knows how long they can last. Sitting in this small fortification on the hillside, it seems to be safe for the time being, but no one knows when they will be smashed to pieces and turned into dust.

The feeling of dying at any time and waiting for death is even more terrifying than real death!

"My lord, calm down."

Zhang Ju smiled bitterly and said:

"The imperial court doesn't know our current situation at all. They just issue orders, and they don't even know where we are now, let alone that we are being besieged by iron-clothed horse thieves. Moreover, the capital is far away from here, and even the imperial court does not know where we are now. You may know that the iron-clothed horse bandits actually gathered six or seven hundred bandits."

boom!

Huang Yongtu slammed his fist on the nearby tree trunk, sawdust flying, and even his fingers were bleeding. Although he knew that what Zhang Ju said was probably the truth, it didn't make Huang Yongtu feel any better.

"So far, the best news for us is that there are two other lords who have not yet been encircled. Moreover, the other lord seems to be very proficient in the art of war. is our only hope."

As Zhang Ju said, he turned his head to look at Wang Chong and the others in the distance.

It has been a while since the eighty iron cavalry were handed over to him, but to be honest, the people and horses have not changed, only the coach has been changed. It's a world of difference.

Even the combat power is not at the same level!

This is the change brought about by a wise coach.

A soldier's duty is to guard the frontier and die on the battlefield, but Zhang Ren doesn't really care about his own life.

He is now very concerned about that young man. With this kind of military accomplishment, in the future, if he is tempered on the battlefield of the empire, he must be a general who dominates and shakes one side.

Such characters are the most important.

If he couldn't escape the fate of death in the end, Zhang Ju hoped that the youngest adult could escape no matter what!
