Shang Yu came from a poor family and was very clever, so he was valued by Gu Liang and promoted him to the personal barracks. He has been working hard and never slacked off for a day, but perhaps because of his lack of talent, he has always been a little weak in martial arts.

He was the weakest among the five sentry officers. Although no one laughed at him for this, Shang Yu always felt that he did not work hard enough.

He understands that the enemy will never pity you on the battlefield. If you are not strong enough, the enemy will kill you.

At this moment, the two sides were close to each other, and there were people on all sides. The mounts could not charge forward at all. After Shang Yu was shaken off his long sword, he felt that the end was approaching. How could the other party miss such an opportunity?

He suddenly felt homesick and missed his parents who were far away in Kyoto. He remembered that he was not married yet. Although he was already in his twenties, he was considered an older unmarried young man in this era. At this moment, he felt vaguely regretful. When he was in Nan Daying before,

Occasionally, Gu Liang would allow them to leave the camp for a day, but he had never been there. He only wanted to continuously improve himself. He wanted to be a real general so that his children and grandchildren would not have to start in the mud like him.

Climb.

After the Hengduan Mountain incident, he could finally become a guerrilla based on his merit. He was very happy at that time, because the guerrilla was already a military commander, even if he was just a low-level military commander, he could finally get married. Gu Liang found him and asked him not to be promoted for the time being.

, out of trust in his benefactor, Shang Yu obediently stayed in Nanda Camp and continued to work as a sentry officer until he was selected into the Tibetan Front Guard and became Pei Yue's subordinate.

Although he was still a sentry officer, he was an imperial envoy guarding the emperor's own army after all. He felt that his future was finally bright.

But now he is dying.

The broadsword in the hand of the strong man on the other side was struck down decisively.

Shang Yu felt a strong wind blowing in front of him.

At this critical moment, a figure suddenly jumped up from the side and directly hit the strong man. The two hugged each other and rolled off the horse. The big knife narrowly missed Shang Yu's face.

"Old Shang, what the hell are you freaking out about?!"

The roar of his comrades came from behind.

Shang Yu suddenly woke up and realized how stupid his behavior was. Why was he suddenly waiting to die like an idiot?

He jumped off the horse with a face full of shame, leaned over to pick up his long knife, and rushed behind the strong man who had the upper hand in a few steps. He held the knife in both hands and slashed hard, his face extremely ferocious.

The strong man's body suddenly stiffened.

After all, the long knife was not the beheading knife used by executioners. Even if Shang Yu tried his best with his sword, he could not directly cut off the opponent's head. In the end, it was just embedded in the opponent's neck.

Blood spurted all over the face of the man who was suppressed by the strong man.

Shang Yu pulled the strong man away, and then he saw that the man below with blood on his face was Cui Meng.

Cui Meng, the son of Xining Bo Cuihu, was one of the fifty noble sons who were originally included in the imperial escort team.

Shang Yu actually doesn't like these noble children very much, because he has stepped up from the most ordinary foot soldiers, and every step has to be fought with life. But what about these noble children? Because he has a good background, after joining the army

Most of them are the general's personal soldiers. After a year and a half, they can become sentry officers. The better ones are directly guerrillas. If they are lucky and can make some achievements, their promotion speed will be enviable.

Cui Meng wiped the blood on his face with his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Shang, do I look like a man today?"

Shang Yu nodded vigorously with mixed feelings, pulled him up, and the two continued fighting.

The third team has been forced into a hard fight.

The number of cavalry chasing them was far greater than theirs, and they were extremely powerful. Especially the swords they used were so powerful and heavy that they could only carry them with their long swords. The battle was very fierce.

Comrades continued to fall, so Shang Yu remounted his horse and led his men to charge left and right, desperately trying to break out of the encirclement.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly broke out behind the large band of horse bandits who had been watching the battle from the outside after stopping them.

Although Shang Yu couldn't see it, he knew what it meant.

"Your Majesty is here to rescue us, hold on!" Shang Yu roared angrily.

On the other side of the battlefield, Pei Yue led 300 cavalry to kill them in time.

Perhaps it was the sudden appearance of the reinforcements and the strength they showed that inspired the real horse bandits to fight. Faced with the 300 horsemen who rushed forward like a strong wind, they did not escape, but instead rushed forward with noisy voices.

Pei Yue looked stern and took the lead.

At the same time, the sound of war drums shook the heaven and earth from the tower of Linqing City.

Wei Rui personally stood in front of a big drum, holding two mallets in his hands, and beat it hard.

When Pei Yue led the charge, no one knew what this military commander with a calm face like a Confucian scholar was thinking, and no one noticed that his bright eyes were full of excitement. He just asked people to lift the war drum in the tower.

Come out and beat the drum yourself to cheer for your comrades in the city.

The sound of iron drums at the top of the city is still trembling, and the long sword in the hand is still bleeding.

No matter who stood in front of him, Pei Yue would kill them with one strike.

At this moment, he finally stopped holding back.

The martial arts skills honed by Mr. Xi and Ye Qi day after day, and the suppressed emotions caused by the intrigues with those unnecessary people, were all released on the battlefield where the shouts of killing filled the ears.

At first there were horse bandits who wanted to stop him, but they were quickly defeated. After more than twenty people fell, the remaining horse bandits finally couldn't bear the fear of death and almost broke up and fled in all directions.

One person and one knife defeated the frontal defense of the horse bandits.

The three sentry officers tightly guarded Pei Yue's flanks, and their eyes were extremely shocked. They had never thought that this young lord's martial arts skills were so high.

Three hundred horses roared in.

They also suppressed the whole battle. It should have been as easy as chopping melons and vegetables, but under Pei Yue's forcible suppression, they had to go around in circles with these rabble, and everyone was holding back a fire in their hearts.

The horse bandits disperse at the first touch.

These people had fought against the Lingzhou Guards Army three times and thought that the officers and soldiers were no good. Only then did they realize how wrong they were.

But it's too late.

Facing the elites of the Beijing army who were fully mobilized, not to mention Pei Yue, who was leading the way like a god of murder, the horse bandits were killed so much that they howled like ghosts and howled like wolves, and were instantly defeated.

The third team, which was surrounded in the middle, finally saw a glimmer of light.

However, what stood in front of them was not the horse bandits who had no fighting power at all, but eight hundred elite soldiers of the Western Wu Dynasty.

No one could have imagined that the army of Xiwu would cross the border and appear under Linqing County. After all, it is still more than three hundred miles away from the border. In fact, even Li Zijun himself did not know, although he was the nominal leader of the horse bandits. He was

After Chen Xizhi was fished out of Guping Town, he pulled out a team of grassroots bandits in Dongqing Mansion according to the other party's instructions. At the same time, he continued to receive help from the other party. At first, there were only the twenty swordsmen around him, and then

Over the years, the number gradually increased to 800 people.

There was no shortage of horses in Dongqing Mansion, not to mention that these horse bandits themselves were horse households and brought a large number of horses when they fell into the grass. Therefore, Chen Xizhi armed a group of Xiwu cavalry without anyone noticing.

As we all know, the Western Wu cavalry is invincible in field battles.

Pei Yue's knife was indeed very sharp, and he easily tore through the encirclement of the large army of horse bandits, leading three hundred horsemen to rush in like a huge wave.

Standing in front of him was a rock that had endured countless years of wind and rain but remained motionless.
