In the cold winter, the Cangtou River froze, the Lingshui also froze, and on both sides of the river, the mountains and ravines were covered with snow, and the animals hibernated, but people would not hibernate, especially a group of people who were desperate for food.

At this time, under a hillside near the Helin area, a group of horse thieves were driving cattle and sheep through the snow, they had just robbed a small Tatar tribe, snatched dozens of cattle and sheep, and were now planning to return to the cottage.

There were about fifty of these horse thieves, all dressed in a variety of clothes, and the weapons in their hands were also varied, and the person headed by this group of horse thieves was actually a young woman. The female bandit leader was wearing a top made of leopard skin and a black felt hat made of mink. The most astonishing thing is that this woman's mount is not saddled, just sitting on the back of a smooth horse, driving the horse as steady as Mount Tai, this superb riding skill is breathtaking.

That's right, this woman is the Li Shuangsha who fought with Xue Bingxin for territory at the beginning, and her sister Li Mansha, now she is responsible for leading the team to go out to rob.

Outside the fortress of the weak and strong, looting is the first of the rules of survival, the Tatars robbed the people of the Ming Dynasty, and different tribes often robbed each other, and the horse thieves, as long as they felt that their strength could swallow it, they robbed everything, the Li family is the horse thief on the grassland, they do not produce, and take robbery as a profession.

The Li family migrated from the Helan Mountains to the lower reaches of Lingshui last year, but met Xue Bingxin, and after failing to compete for territory, they had no choice but to move to the vicinity of Helin on the outskirts of the Fengzhou River.

In this year, Li Shuangsha led his horse thieves to rob and graze the Tatars grazing in the Helin area, as well as the past business travelers, and they actually became famous. Because of their superb riding skills and plundering like the wind, people gave them the nickname of the mountain wind, and when it came to this horse bandit, the nearby Tatar tribes were both hated and afraid.

Scold......

The horse thieves wrapped the stolen cattle and sheep in the middle of the horse team, and kept whipping them away, and the movements were skillful, and the speed of the march was not slow.

However, at this moment, a strong arrow came from the hillside, straight to the throat of Li Mansha, the woman's reaction was swift, the saber slashed out, and the arrow flew diagonally into the air, but her hand holding the knife was shocked to numbness, and the strength of the arrow surprised her.

At this time, a big banner was suddenly erected on the hillside, and the shouting of killing shook the sky, and a cavalry slaughtered it at a gallop, about two or three hundred people, like a torrent and a waterfall.

Li Mansha's complexion changed drastically, and he shouted very dryly: "The wind is tight,!" ”

The horse bandits immediately discarded the stolen cattle and sheep, turned the horse's head and fled, the number of the other party was several times that of their own, as long as the brain was not in the water, they knew that they could not fight hard, and they were originally horse bandits, and their integrity and face were all floating clouds.

However, the other party was obviously prepared, and it was to kill him, as soon as the horse bandit turned the horse's head, the horse's hooves on the other side made a loud noise, and a group of men and horses came out, and immediately surrounded the dozens of horse bandits in the middle.

Li Mansha's heart instantly sank to the bottom, and at this time she suddenly understood that she had fallen into the other party's circle, and the small tribe that was robbed today was simply an erbium, no wonder it was done so easily.

Two armies of five or six hundred men surrounded more than 50 horse bandits including Limansha, but did not attack. Li Mansha was both shocked and suspicious, and carefully looked at the other party's men and horses, and found that it was actually Han faces, and many of them were also holding firearms.

"Ming Army?"

Just when Li Mansha was in doubt, she heard a drum sound on the hillside, and saw another group of people walking down unhurriedly, and a red flag was hunting in the wind, embroidered with a big white font - Li.

But seeing a middle-aged general under the red flag, with a long beard fluttering, wearing silver armor, a long sword hanging from his waist, and holding a long bow in his hand, he was quite a bit of a Confucian general, and it was Li Fuda, the head of the Maitreya sect under the pseudonym Zhang Yin.

Li Fuda was surrounded by fifty personal soldiers, all of them in black helmets and black armor, in addition to waist knives and muskets, they were extremely well-equipped.

It is said that Li Fuda took more than 10,000 rebels out of Cyprus last year to take refuge in Alta, and was reused by Alta, and was named King Fu by Alta, and gave him a piece of land on the side of the Yellow River near Ordos.

Li Fuda received the reward from Alta, and immediately returned the favor by assisting Alta in attacking the Tatar left flank, and made a lot of contributions. Although Li Fuda only had more than 10,000 people under his command, he was good at generals, and he brought a large number of firearms from the Ming Dynasty, which made up for the lack of cavalry combat power to a certain extent.

Fortunately, when Li Fuda assumed the name of Zhang Yin as the commander-in-chief of Datong, the flintlock pistol had not yet been equipped in Datong, so now Li Fuda's command uses old-fashioned firearms, and if they all use flintlock pistols, it will be a big trouble.

Li Fuda came to the periphery of the encirclement under the escort of his own soldiers, swept his eyes sharply over the group of horse bandits, and finally landed on the Li Mansha, and shouted: "I, Li Fuda, will surrender or die!" ”

The group of horse bandits looked at each other, and their eyes invariably looked at Li Mansha, whose face changed, obviously not making up his mind.

"Father, there are just a few horse thieves, and you can cut them directly, so why talk nonsense with them?" Li Dali said disappreciatively.

Li Fuda said lightly: "The strength of this group of horse thieves is not bad, there are hundreds of people in the cottage, it would be good if they could be recruited, the key is that they are all Han Chinese, and they can be used with confidence." ”

Li Dali nodded when he heard this, and then stopped speaking.

It is said that although Li Fuda took refuge in my answer, he did not really surrender to him, the two just used each other's relationship, Li Fuda wanted to strengthen his strength naturally could not recruit Tatars, I believe that I would not allow it, so Li Fuda only recruited Han people, after a year of development, now Li Fuda has nearly 20,000 people, most of them are captive Han slaves, and some are refugees who took the initiative to go out of Cyprus to take refuge.

Therefore, Li Fuda will naturally not let go of such a powerful horse thief as the Li Clan, in order to trap Li Mansha and his gang, he laid out in the Helin area more than a month ago.

Sure enough, this group of greedy horse bandits crashed into the circle they had laid out, and Li Fuda was quite complacent at this time.

"This king will give you ten more breaths, and if you don't surrender after ten breaths, you won't be killed!" Li Fuda shouted murderously.

Rumble ......

As soon as Li Fuda finished speaking, there was a sudden rumbling sound of horses' hooves on the southwest side, and immediately, a cavalry came out from behind the horse slope. There were about 100 of these cavalrymen, all dressed in black and black trousers, covered with black scarves, only revealing a pair of frightened eyes, their right hands were raised obliquely, and there was a chilling sword light in their hands, even if they were still hundreds of meters away, the murderous aura had been swept by the wind!

"Three ladies?" The horse thieves exclaimed, and Li Mansha looked at the black-clothed cavalry in disbelief.

Li Fuda's face changed, his eyes stared at the slender and vigorous shape at the front of the black-clothed horse team, although the other party covered his face, but he still recognized it at a glance, when he used the pseudonym Zhang Yin to encircle and suppress Heitai Mountain, he had fought with Xue Bingxin head-on.

"It's a good time, and it's just solved together." Li Fuda said coldly.

In an instant, the black-clothed horse team had already killed the front, and Li Mansha took the opportunity to lead the horse thieves to break through.

"Look for death!" Li Fuda shouted violently, and personally led fifty of his own soldiers to meet the black-clothed cavalry.

Bang bang bang......

Li Fuda's own soldiers fired the musket, and several of the black-clothed cavalry were immediately shot and fell off their horses, but fortunately, they used old-fashioned muskets, and they used extremely poor accuracy on their horses, and they only had one chance to fire.

Bang Peng......

The two cavalry collided fiercely, and blood flew in an instant!

Li Fuda drew his sword and slashed at the head with one hand, stared at the light blue eyes above the other party's scarf with a playful expression, and said with his left hand: "Master Xue's niece, it's been a long time, it's been the same root, why be too anxious to fry each other!" ”

"Phew, this girl has nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect!" Xue Bingxin scolded.

Li Fuda shook his head and said: "Why bother, with your share, it is not allowed to be in the Ming Dynasty, it is better to take refuge in this king, he can share your share of the Ming Dynasty, and it can be regarded as comforting your father, King Anhua's spirit in the sky." ”

"Shut up, this girl is not interested in being a Han at all, and she is willing to be a Tartar dog for the Han people, shame!" Xue Bingxin slashed with a sword.

Li Fuda's eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Since you are looking for death, this king will fulfill you." ”

Dangdangdang......

Li Fuda took out his sword like flying, and he and Xue Bingxin made a few moves, only to hear a snort, and half of the latter's cloak was cut off by a sharp sword, and it was in danger.

"Big boss, I'm here to help you, Li Fuda, do you still recognize me Xue Liang? Take your life! The fourth master, Xue Liang, rushed up, he had a grudge against Li Fuda.

A good Li Fuda, under the siege of Xue Bingxin and Xue Liang, is still at ease, and said with a cruel smile: "Okay, I'll take care of you all today." ”

"Dad, the one surnamed Xue wants to be caught alive, this person is Xu Jin's concubine, and the child will use all means to humiliate her and avenge the second brother!" Li Dali said loudly.

Li Fuda's expression became hideous when he heard this, the second son Li Dayi was his most valued son, but he was shot in the head at the noon gate, and Xu Jin was the culprit!

When he learned that his son was elected as a concubine, he was quite excited, thinking that his son would become a concubine, and later he would become a great internal response for himself to enter the customs and Ming, but this good thing was messed up by Xu Jin, who rushed back from the Wa Kingdom, and his son was shot in the head without even touching the princess's hand, which is angry and hateful!

Li Fuda couldn't wait to throw Xu Jin's bones into ashes, but at this time, after being reminded by Li Dali, he remembered the relationship between Xue Bingxin and Da Jin, and the bitter hatred came to his heart.

Zheng's sword, blood splattered, and a huge horse's head fell in response!
