Half an hour later, a big red flag appeared from the corner of the mountain road, the red flag fluttered in the mountain wind, and a big word "Chuang" was embroidered on it.

Under the banner, a group of men and horses marched along the mountain road. These men were all infantrymen, and indeed there were quite a few pikemen among them, and although their armor and blades were not neat, they all walked in a regular manner, and their manners were unhurried and unhurried, and they not only appeared to be well-trained, but also had a rather awe-inspiring momentum.

This kind of momentum is only possible for a team that has experienced many battles of life and death.

At present, the Perak camp led by Ximen Hitomi is also lined up on the mountain road, in comparison, the Perak camp is tall and well-equipped, and every disciple is heroic and strong, but in terms of momentum alone, it is obviously inferior to the other party.

The opposing team stopped fifty feet away from the battle.

"Let me ask, is it Shi Gongzi's dart team from Xiangjing on the road ahead?" shouted a general on a horse in front of the team.

"Who are you!" Hitomi didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

Although he had already guessed that most of the other party was a friend or foe, he was so competitive that Ximen Hitomi couldn't help but feel unhappy when he saw that the momentum of the war department he was training was overwhelmed by the other party, and his tone inevitably revealed a little hostility.

The general was not angry, but just smiled, and replied loudly: "The surname is Li Mingguo, and he is the owner of this batch of dart goods." To be counted, Shi Gongzi is still my uncle. ”

"It turned out to be General Li Guo, who has admired the name for a long time! It was Hua Bushi who answered, and at this moment he was standing on the hillside behind the Perak camp on horseback, and he was also looking at the general in front of the formation.

This time, he came to Yujing with the dart team, and he had already passed the news to Li Zicheng in advance, and Li Guo was Li Zicheng's cousin and his general, and this eldest young master had already heard about it.

At the beginning, Li Zicheng went to Wuyang City in Xiangjing to talk about business, and he was named Tian Daguanren, but now in Yujing, it is the turn of Hua Bushi to be named Gongzi Shi Xiao.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, but it was the general on the opposite side who galloped over on a single horse. When he got closer, Hua Bushi saw Li Guo's appearance clearly, and he was also a beautiful young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes.

He was about twenty years old, with a shiny silver helmet on his head, a snow-white robe and silver-white steel armor, and a white horse mounted on a saddle, and a white tasseled spear hanging in front of the saddle. In terms of handsome appearance, he may be slightly inferior to Ximen Hitomi, but the heroic aura on his body is still superior to Ximen Hitomi.

Zhao Zilong, the victorious general of the Three Kingdoms, is probably like this, right? Seeing this white-robed young general, not only Hua Bushi, but also many people must have this idea in their hearts.

"Let him come. Hua Bushi commanded.

Ximen Hitomi waved his hand, and a passage flashed out of the formation of the Thunderbolt Camp. Li Guo rode his horse through and came to the top of the hillside, but he turned over and dismounted, touched the ground on one knee, and bowed to Hua Bushi: "Nephew Li Guo, see my uncle!"

Hua Bushi was originally the only son in the family, he had no brothers, and no one had ever called him uncle since he grew so big, not to mention that the other party was a dignified general with a height of seven feet. He hurriedly jumped off the horse, stretched out his hand to support Li Guo, and said, "General Li, this is too polite, Shi Xiao really can't afford it!"

Li Guo said: "Shi Gongzi and my cousin are righteous brothers, and they are also my uncles.

Hua Bushi waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, this son is most afraid of these vulgar etiquette, if the general is not outside, just call me Shi Gongzi, don't mention the matter of my uncle again." ”

Li said: "Since Shi Gongzi has a life, the little nephew should obey it." But please also ask Shi Gongzi to call Li Guo's name directly, don't call me a general again. ”

10 days before ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※, Li Zicheng received the news that Hua Bushi was going to enter Henan with the dart team transporting weapons, so he ordered Li Guo to lead 500 soldiers to the border area of Henan and Hubei to meet them.

Li Guo's men and horses had actually been there for several days, and they also found out about the situation of the officers and troops stationed by the Bukou Bridge, but they did not dare to get too close, so they had to camp in the mountains dozens of miles away, and sent scouts every day to investigate the movement of the Bukou Bridge.

As soon as the dart team of the "Evil Dog Gate" and more than 1,000 homeless people crossed the bridge, Li Guo got the news. When he led his troops to meet him, he learned from the scouts that You Shilu had led five hundred cavalry to chase after him, and the dart team also left the official road and walked on the path to Funiu Mountain.

Li Guo was very familiar with the terrain of the mountains in this area, so he immediately made a decision, led the men and horses from a trail in the mountains to the front, found a suitable place, and let the troops ambush in the woods on both sides of the road.

In the battle just now, Li Guo and the rebels fought very happily. Although You Shilu's cavalry is also considered an elite soldier, but between the narrow and crooked mountain roads, it is difficult to exert the power of cavalry impact, plus they chased out of the Bukou Bridge early in the morning, went around a large circle on the official road, and ran with all their strength for half a day, and now more than half of the manpower and horsepower have been consumed. The rebels waited for Lao Bu to set up an ambush, and they were already ready to deal with the cavalry, and the two sides took advantage of it as soon as they started fighting.

For You Shilu, today is really a day of mildew, early in the morning the camp was attacked, BMW Liangju was stung to death by poisonous insects, led a large group of cavalry to chase out, after a long day of wind but did not catch anything, and then encountered an ambush by the rebels.

Under the attack of arrows and spears, the officers and cavalry immediately suffered heavy losses, many soldiers were wounded and fell off their horses, and the large group of men and horses began to break up before the formation could be completed. Seeing that the general situation was not good, General You immediately ordered him to retreat, and it was the best policy to turn his horse's head around.

Fortunately, he saw the opportunity early, although he was shot in the shoulder, he finally relied on the brave escort of several generals and personal soldiers to kill out of the encirclement of the righteous army, but the poor 500 cavalry under his command lost more than half, and only less than 200 people fled back with the main general.

Li Guo's troops were mostly infantry, and although they defeated the officers and troops, they could not catch up, so they organized their men and horses and marched in a formation to meet Hua Bushi.

After listening to Li Guo's account, Hua Bushi couldn't help but be impressed by the combat power of the rebel army under the command of this white-robed general. Originally, in Huabushi, most of the rebels were just peasants who had risen from the pole, and they had not undergone formal training, so if they were really soldiers, they were very reluctant, and they should not have much combat power.

There is nothing wrong with that. Nowadays, there are more than a dozen righteous armies in various realms of the Ming Dynasty, and many of them are really not small, and there are tens of thousands of people at every turn, and even 230,000 people. And a rebel army of this size, fighting head-on with thousands of officers and soldiers, also rarely won victories, and often collapsed at the touch of a button. The combat power of the official army of the Ming Dynasty was not strong, and if compared like this, the strength of the righteous army was even more unbearable.

The army led by Li Guo is by no means comparable to an ordinary rebel army. Hua Bushi thought so, not only because they were able to defeat You Shilu's cavalry, but also because the dart team of the "Evil Dog Gate" passed through their ambush circle before, and they didn't notice anything different at all.

Although it was because the pursuing soldiers were approaching and a large group of displaced people were in a hurry to hurry up, they were not as cautious as usual, but Hua Bushi had always been vigilant, and Li Hu and Ximen Hitomi and others were also very keen masters, and they led the Perak battalion to walk through the mountain road ambushed by the rebels without noticing, which is enough to show that the other party's lurking is really silent.

Five hundred men is not a small number, and such an ambush cannot be done without extraordinary skill. And if these rebels are enemies, the dart team of the "Evil Dog Gate" may also be unable to escape the consequences of being ambushed and raided.

According to the agreement, the two sides checked the tokens, Li Guo ordered someone to check the number of weapons on the cart, and the twenty dart carts were successfully handed over to the owner of the goods, and Miao Youwu and the people of the "Five Tigers Dart Bureau" finally relieved themselves of the heavy responsibility of escorting.

After this half-day escape, almost having to fight with the brigade of officers and horses, Miao Youwu was still in shock, and now although he was safe, he didn't dare to go back from the Bukou Bridge the same way, for fear of meeting the unlucky General You again. After consulting with his subordinates, Miao Youwu decided to make a detour of 300 miles to the east and return to Hubei from the Xinyang territory. Fortunately, now that the dart cart has been handed over, they can all ride horses and travel in simple clothes, even if the detour is only an extra two or three days.

The people of the "Five Tigers Dart Bureau" left eastward, and Hua Bushi decided to go northwest with Li Guo's righteous army to meet the world's famous hero, Li Chuang, who can also be called his brother.

Now Li Zicheng's men and horses are in the Kunshan Mountain in western Henan, where the rebels have built a cottage called "Biluo Village". When Li Guo led the troops out, Li Zicheng had already told him that he must bring this "evil dog boy" to Kunshan for a gathering, and he tried his best to invite him, and Hua Bushi agreed.

The destination has been decided, but what is a headache for this eldest young master is the more than 1,000 homeless people who have been following the team.

Now that they have entered the boundaries of Henan Province and there are no more officers and soldiers chasing them, they are safe, at least for the time being, and they should have dispersed and gone to seek a way to survive.

However, most of them refused to leave, and still had to follow the men and horses of the "Evil Dog Gate".

If the officers and soldiers did not leave when they approached in the past, it was because they did not trust Hua Bushi enough, but now they do not leave because these displaced people believe that only the people of the "Evil Dog Gate" are the only ones who will protect them.

Although there is no drought in Yujing, it is also rampant with bandits, and it is not safe for these displaced people to be tolerated by the government, and it is not easy to find a suitable place to make a living. Previously, in order to protect them, Hua Bushi did not hesitate to order a formation to meet the officers and soldiers, which these homeless people saw with their own eyes, but now that there is no other place to go, of course, it is safer to follow the people and horses of the "Evil Dog Gate" first.
