Chapter 360 Bloody horse thief
The next morning, Xiao Tang visited Xiao Bao, who stayed in Tokyo, and prepared to set off again.
In theory, Zheng Yunzhong and Tong Guan were the chief envoy and deputy envoys of the Liao Kingdom this time. Xiao Tang's trip was just to go to the north to buy and sell Beizhu according to Zhao Ji's order, so the process of the mission did not have to be strictly followed by the etiquette of the two countries. Mr. Xiao Bao, who was left behind in Tokyo, was full of intestines. Judging from his complexion, he could tell that he was a foolish official and slandered minister who had been hollowed out by wine.
In the past, Xiao Baoxian, the official envoy of the Song State who came to buy the Northern Zhu, had also seen many of them. After Xiao Tang and his polite conspiracy with him, he ordered Yan Qing, Xiao Yi and others to prepare chariots and horses to go on the road again.
As for Yilacheng and Guo Yaoshi, they received 100,000 stag of money from Xiao Tang to serve the people under their command. Han people bought clothes and food, and each of them was grateful to Xiao Tang for his spending a lot of money to support him.
After some discussion with Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Tang was able to basically determine the feasibility of using islands such as Ocean Pi Island, as well as coastal Kaizhou and Laiyuan (now near Dandong, Liaoning) as the living territory for refugees from Liaodong.
Many islands east of Lushunkou such as Simi Island, Guanglu Island, Shicheng Island, Zhanzidao, and Lushima, with Pi Island as the center, are used as sea route transit stations connecting overseas Koryo and Japan in countries such as Song and Liao. Then, Xiao Tang's sea ships from Mizhou Maritime Warehouse can bypass the border between the Song and Liao borders, as well as the horse markets and Zhongguan Pass officials in the Liao Dynasty, and the low-priced and expensive buyers of unscrupulous merchants, use coastal smuggling and trafficking, and trade many local mountain goods and specialties. Horses are also enough to support a large population.
During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zhi, the "One Piece King" took advantage of the Japanese war and civil unrest, established his own independent kingdom in Hirado, and also called himself "King Hui" and "King of Jinghai". He also used maritime trade to accumulate strength and became a maritime overlord. Although Xiao Tang was not a man who wanted to become One Piece, to a certain extent, he could also learn from Wang Zhi, who used overseas base areas.
As Alic, who escorted Xiao Tang throughout the whole process, Qiong Yao Nayan, the two Liao Dynasty's Nanjing Military Command. They were both straightforward men who both loved to practice martial arts. At first, although they did not accept Xiao Tang, when they witnessed Xiao Tang's amazing fist skills and advocated martial arts, Qiong Yao Nayan gradually became convinced by Xiao Tang's reputation as a hero.
After contacting this way, Xiao Tang, in Zhou Jiyicheng of Liaoyang Prefecture, Guo Yaoshi, at the same time, he also ordered Yan Qing to give 6,000 guan to Aliqi, Qiong Yao Nayan and the other two. After the two Khitan men accepted it half-swer, they both slapped their chests and said to Xiao Tang out of their hearts that wherever they could be useful to them in the Liao Kingdom, they would never be ambiguous.
When Xiao Tang and his delegation passed through Longshan north of Liaoyang Prefecture, they saw the white snow covered in the mountains and forests like the surging white waves rolled up in the sea. Although Yan Qing, Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Yi, Duan Jingzhu and others were all born in Yanzhao, they still couldn't resist the bitter and cold climate outside the pass. Shi Jin, who was born in Huazhou, Shaanxi, couldn't help but shivered. He snorted and said, "It's so bitter and cold weather, and the benefits of dangerous mountains and bad waters! If this place is in the Song Dynasty, there will probably be strong people blocking the way and cutting the path."
After hearing this, Qiong Yao Nayan laughed and said, "Brother Shi Jin, don't worry! I am here for five hundred years. Which thief who is not open-minded dares to come and kill him? If there are really thieves, I will ask you to see the skills of our Liao** athletes!"
When Shi Jin heard this, he thrust his chest. He looked at Qiong Yao Nayan with a squinted eyes and said coldly: "What's wrong with you? I just think it's a depressed journey. If a strong man with a slim path does a business without capital here, he can just ask me to kill you to warm up and warm your body!"
After hearing this, Xiao Tang shook his head and smiled at Shi Jin and said, "It's a good thing to do on the way. Why do you still hope to have something happen? If you want to move your body to drive away the cold, you can compete with Qiong Xiangwen again."
Alic also said to Xiao Tang at this time: "Mr. Xiao, I respect your abilities, but the Southern Dynasties' official army is far inferior to my Liao Dynasty's son. My brothers Alic and Qiong Yao Nayan work in the military commander of Nanjing. No matter how troubled the herdsmen tribes, thieves, or robbers, or robbers who robbed everywhere, they have seen many strong men who dare to provoke us to stop them."
However, as soon as Alic finished speaking, suddenly, "Swish, Swish, Swish, Swish!" A series of sounds of breaking wind suddenly came, and then there was a scream. Dozens of Liao Guoyuanzhan's troops from Rong Guards and Xiao Tang were caught off guard and were shot by cold arrows shot from all directions and then fell off the horse!
Originally, the Liao Kingdom Yuanbian Sect Army was a archer and light cavalry unit that inquire about the news. Whenever they fought against the enemy, they would take the arch first. But now, they didn't expect that they were caught off guard by an unknown enemy in Longshan!
The Liao army suddenly had a chaos, Alic was shocked and angry, and he cursed loudly: "Zhi Mom! Is there really a strong man coming to seek death!?"
At this time, the sharp whistle sounded again, and people from all directions were heard. Several teams of cavalry came out of the hidden mountains and forests, and the enemies riding on the Mercedes-Benz battle horses were not vague. A bunch of flying locust arrows were directed towards Alic, and Qiong Yao Nayan's far-blocking light cavalry shot towards Alic.
Most of the enemies who suddenly came out were wearing black clothes, and a few were wearing beast-skinned robes. They all held long swords, big axes or maces, and carried three or four bags of arrows behind the saddle.
Qiong Yao Nayan set the spear in his hand. When he saw that some of the enemies shaved their heads all around, leaving only the braids in the center of the head hanging down, shaped like a rat-tailed braid in money, he couldn't help but say angrily: "It's the Jurchens! Are these barbarians going to rebel!?"
Xiao Tang was shocked, and he thought to himself: It is logical that before Wanyan's army swore an oath to attack Liao, he endured for a while while preparing to explore the internal reality of the Liao Dynasty. How could they openly attack the Liao army? Is it because of their appearance that the Jurchens were invading the Liao Dynasty?
At this time, a large number of enemy troops suddenly rushed into the Liao army's main formation of Alic and Qiong Yao Nayan. The enemies were all skillful in riding and brave and good at fighting. In an instant, bloody storms and groups of cavalry galloped in an interlaced manner, and a chaos had already begun.
Shi Jin grabbed a big knife from a horse thief. He rode his horse and ran quickly. Seeing that he was about to collide with the cavalry coming towards him. Suddenly, the leader of the horse thief, Yan Youyi, rushed out from the side and stabbed him. When the tip of the spear had barely stabbed Shi Jin's chest, Shi Jin swung his sword and heard a loud "Clang!" He pushed Yan Youyi's attack with one move.
Yan Youyi's face changed, and he cheered up and fought with Shi Jin into a fierce battle. When the two fought for only twenty or thirty times, Shi Jin could already feel that he could cut the opponent with his martial arts skills. But at this time, Yan Youyi's legs were pinched with his horse's belly, and he turned around Shi Jin like a war horse turned lamp under his crotch.
After all, not only does horses have to fight against the enemy during war, but also master the horses under their crotch when galloping high. Even though Shi Jin is skilled in martial arts, his riding skills are far less flexible than words.
Shi Jin slashed in the air with one knife, and Yan Youyi immediately pushed his gun and stabbed again. Shi Jin could not grasp the fighter's opportunity several times in succession. Yu Youyi drove the war horse as straight as a part of his body, and should drive the war horse to dodge in which direction and take advantage of the counterattack.
On the other side, Alic saw that Qiong Yao Nayan was fighting with more than a dozen knights with his own strength. When he was about to go to help, a sharp sword light flashed like lightning. Yan Youxin, the leader of the horse thief, suddenly rushed out from the side. He raised the sword in his hand and rushed straight to Alic's waist! Alic cheered up his spirit, and he roared, and Yan Youxin stabbed him in his hand with a shady steel gun.
After only more than ten rounds of fighting, Yan Youxin cursed in his heart: This Khitan man is so handsome!
Just when Yan Youxin couldn't resist Alic's offensive, another horse thief from beside him wielded his wolf teeth and rod and smashed him to his head! Alic rode his horse and avoided him, and then suddenly stretched forward. He stabbed the horse thief to his heart.
When Alic turned around and wanted to stab Yan Youxin down the horse, he saw his opponent with a reins and the horse's four hooves flew around his crotch, and in an instant he had already distanced himself from Alicia.
But when Alic responded to other horse thieves who rushed over, Yan Youxin rode his horse around and suddenly galloped towards Alic! Fortunately, Alic had reacted so much that he blocked Yan Youxin's slash with one move. Yan Youxin saw that he missed the attack, and then he quickly rode away.
Alic scolded, and he also threw away several horse thieves who besieged him and placed a spear on the saddle Changsheng hook. Alicia raised the sky and drew an iron-tied bow, and took out a carved feathered arrow from the quiver hanging on the side of the saddle. He looked at Yan Youxin and shot it with an arrow, but the other party gently dodged it.
"Hehe, are you more than a bow and arrow?" Yan Youxin smiled grimly, and he also rode a bow. He had already predicted the degree and distance of the horse under his crotch. The strings were loose, and only the "swish swish swish swish!" Three sharp roars suddenly erupted, and three cold lights were already shooting towards Alic!
Arrows are beaded!?
Alic's heart was shocked. He subconsciously bent over to avoid it. A spark suddenly appeared when the metal and iron attacked each other. The three-pointed purple gold crown that Alic's head was shot down by Yan Youxin. A cold arrow flew past Alic's cheek and a blood mark was rubbed on his cheek.
Alic suddenly became shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. Damn it! That guy didn't know that he had extraordinary horse-controlling skills, but he turned out that he was so good at riding and shooting!
Xiao Tang saw that not only the two leaders of the other party had extraordinary skills in riding skills, but most of the enemy riders were good at controlling horses. The enemy was too many and we were few. They caught them off guard and killed the Khitan Yuanbian army, who had always been proud of their archery and horse skills, and they were defeated!
Xiao Tang looked solemn. This time he went to Liao Kingdom as an envoy, with his gold-engraved tiger-headed dragon-toothed gun, wolf-toothed cold sword, wolf-toothed double sword, wolf-Jun Bow and other long-term weapons for fighting. Even the fire-red blocks and thousand-mile-neep horse he rode on during the battle was still in the stable of his own mansion in Bianjing. The only weapons he carried were the Panjin-hum and iron double numbs inserted at his waist, but the pair of numbs were short weapons, and the combat power would be greatly reduced when fighting with people.
At this moment, four horse thieves had already broken through the siege. They screamed strangely, waved the saber in their hands, rode their spears and axes and rushed towards Xiao Tang!
