Before Hu Xiu's words fell, Pang Yuan leaned forward and hugged him tightly.

"Brother Hu, Brother Hu! It's you, it's really you! …… Miss me! Pang Yuan slapped Hu Xiu's back with both hands and shouted excitedly. And Hu Xiuquan didn't expect Pang Yuan to suddenly come to this scene on the battlefield with a murderous sound, he stared at the copper bell as if his eyes were strange, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Pang Yuan was a bandit under the Luochuan Ma clan back then, with his shrewdness and good fighting, he was ruthless, and he became the hero of commanding hundreds of horse thieves at a young age, and he really had a lot of lives on his hands. When Lu Yao led the army to enter the Daidi with a thunderous momentum, Pang Yuan was lucky enough to lead his subordinates out, otherwise he would inevitably be beheaded as a bandit full of evil after the war.

Back then, in the bandits' den, Pang Yuan was a handsome man with strength, and Hu Xiu was a carpenter whose family was held hostage, but Pang Yuan occasionally saw Hu Xiu and was always polite; Now in the Pingbei Military Mansion, Pang Yuan is the leader of the guards who is trusted by Lu Yao, and Hu Xiu is just the most ordinary pawn, and the difference in status between the two seems to be greater than before...... But Pang Yuan was even more polite to Hu Xiu, and his closeness increased tenfold, so that Hu Xiu was caught off guard.

The soldiers under Lu Yao's command are all a little unruly, and Pang Yuan is even more so, so naturally he will not be gentle and frugal. The reason for this behavior is because Hu Xiu used his palm as a hammer and the inhuman power of hitting wooden nails, which Pang Yuan had seen with his own eyes several times in Majiawu Fort. What's more, because Hu Xiu killed the unstoppable Wang Yan with one blow, Pang Yuan witnessed it not far away...... This is still under the extremely unfavorable conditions of Hu Xiu's unarmored body and riding on foot enemies! Pang Yuan had no doubt that if this person was given a fierce horse, iron armor, and excellent weapons in hand, he would definitely be brave enough to take the first rank of the first general in a million troops!

Pang Yuan didn't care why Hu Xiu joined the Youzhou Army, and he didn't bother to think about why Hu Xiu was just a pawn, he was able to become the commander of Lu Yao's guards second only to Ma Rui, relying not only on martial arts, but also on his shrewd and decisive mind. In a moment, he had already figured out the most important thing in front of him: if it is like today's bandang, it is the time for the martial artists to perform, this Hu Xiu has inhuman courage, and now he has made great achievements in front of General Pingbei, so the future soaring will be unstoppable. That being the case, why don't you hurry up and make a friendship, but when?

It's a pity that Hu Xiu's personality is a little wooden, and he doesn't cooperate properly with himself, which is inevitably a little ...... Ahem...... The fly in the ointment is also.

Pang Yuan was courteous for a long time, Hu Xiu finally couldn't bear it, his shoulders shook slightly, and he immediately gave birth to a huge force, pushing Pang Yuan away half a step: "Leader Pang is polite, Hu Xiu doesn't dare to be a ......"

Pang Yuan laughed loudly: "It's Commander Pang, Commander!" Haha, Brother Hu, do you know who you killed? You've done a great job! Hahaha! ”

He was about to raise his hand to hold Hu Xiu's shoulder, but Hu Xiu half-turned around and focused his attention on the robes and brothers who were with him to defend against the enemy horse: "How is it?" ”

Hu Xiu's unit is a reserve force located between the first line and the general's headquarters, with a total of three hundred people in six teams. Among them, the fifty people who fought with Hu Xiu against the onslaught of the thief Kou Tieqi were all wounded, and the less injured ones were pale in blood-stained robes; Severe, intestinal penetration, rotten belly, severed limbs and few arms. Hearing Hu Xiu's inquiry, a young man shook his head and slowly lowered his companion back to the ground.

His movements were gentle, as if he was afraid of shaking the wounded, but blood and broken organs had already gushed out of the huge wound between the chest and abdomen of the person in his arms, and were immediately dispersed by the pouring rain.

If Lu Yao was here, he might recognize this young man. He was one of the children of several craftsmen who begged for Hu Xiu in the Battle of Luochuan when Hu Xiu was hit by more than a dozen arrows and his life was hanging by a thread, named Lin Yi. After Lu Yao captured Daiwangcheng, he fought non-stop in the north and south, and fought hard with the Daidi horse thieves and Changshan mountain bandits, during which the troops continued to be lost, and they were constantly replenished on the spot. Therefore, among the troops originally collected in Daijun, as long as they were young and strong men, they had been conscripted into the army one after another. Several children of artisan families who were once accused by Lu Yao of being pedantic are no exception.

Once you are from Rong, if you don't kill the enemy, the enemy will kill you, and those weak people will soon be thrown out of the clouds. Accustomed to the hands of curved rulers, ink fountains, and planers, it is not so difficult to dance swords, guns, swords, and halberds. Because of his meritorious service in the vicious battle of Huiyuan, Lin Yi was soon promoted to chief. After Lu Yao entered Youzhou, he returned to Daidi to recruit new soldiers, and just as Hu Xiu's serious injury healed, he was pulled under his own family.

"The fourth brother, the seventh brother, and the ninth brother, died on the spot." Lin Yi sighed and pointed to the other end: "The third brother, the rat and the dog won't last long." ”

Hu Xiu is certainly brave, but he can't protect everyone on the battlefield after all. After a fierce battle with the thieves, three of them were killed, three were seriously wounded, and they were disabled. And the children of the craftsman who struggled to survive in the same Luochuan Dynasty Wangcheng a year ago, so far only Lin Yi himself remained.

With Wang Yan dead, the offensive he launched was a complete failure. Only a handful of particularly fierce thieves were still resisting, and the unmotivated cavalry were in a hurry to get out of the battle and flee, but the rain had completely turned the ground into a swamp, and the horses could not gallop fast no matter how much they hurried. So the thief who was only trying to escape was shot in the back and screamed to death. Many more fell to their knees and begged to surrender under duress. The rain was still falling, and the damp and sticky bloody smell in the air had finally dissipated a little. The sound of the battle that roared on the entire battlefield for a long time, almost overwhelming the sound of the waves and words, gradually turned into the sound of wanton cheers of the soldiers of the Jin army. At the same time, the grief of losing the robe arises spontaneously. Hu Xiu squatted down, his huge palm stretched out, covering the deceased's hideous face, and after a long time, he sighed heavily.

After all, he was a new recruit who was born as a carpenter, so he couldn't bear this kind of death or injury. In the future, follow General Lu to the Central Plains, and some of them will give you a glimpse of the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood! Pang Yuan secretly scolded a few words and took a step closer: "Brother Hu, come with me to see General Lu." If you have made great contributions, the military government will be rewarded. ”

"I'll go right away, just...... Dare to ask Commander Pang to wait for a while, and let me clean up for the brothers. Hu Xiu groaned, bowed to Pang Yuan, and then continued to wipe the deceased's face with the torn placket. He is a very affectionate person, and he has supported each other for many years with these children of craftsmen in Luochuan bandits' den, and he has a deep relationship. Although the matter of collecting the body after the war will be dealt with by Ding Zhuang with the army, he thinks that it is always good to be able to do something for his brothers.

Pang Yuan was silent for a long time and nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”

After a while, the sound of clanging armor and trampling muddy water behind him followed, and it was Pang Yuan's subordinates who rushed over after they had killed all the cavalry that had broken through with Wang Yan. As Pang Yuan is used to, these soldiers have been in battle for a long time, and they have long been accustomed to killing and death, and they can still talk and laugh all the way from the battlefield full of corpses, and their hearts are not heavy at all. Hu Xiu raised his eyes slightly, looked at them, and gently broke away the hand of a corpse in front of him that was still holding the spear. The spear had already been broken, and it was evident that the enemy's armoured cavalry had broken the spear directly, and then rushed closer, wielding the sword and taking the soldier's life. Hu Xiu was stunned for a moment, placed the broken handle of the gun next to him, and smoothed the curled five fingers one by one. This giant man's body is as huge as a ghost, and he is born with a strange power to pull mountains and carry the peak; But these movements are done slowly, but with great gentleness and care.

Everyone knew that it was Hu Xiu who killed the enemy's general, and at this time, it seemed that the warrior's every move had its own deterrent effect, so Pang Yuan's subordinates suddenly stopped talking and laughing.

But a scar-faced old man with a gray beard didn't care at all, paced tiredly, looked at Hu Xiu's face, and coughed: "What?" Sad? ”

After a long time, Hu Xiu took care of the corpse in front of him, he raised his eyes slightly, glanced in the direction of the old man, and then lowered his head: "Uncle Song, you said to me a few days ago that the battle array is to fight and kill, and the emphasis is on working together to advance and retreat as one. Relying on the courage of the horseman alone, there may be an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but there is no way to save the life of the robe...... I understand now, you're right! You're right! But it is too late to understand, my brothers...... Brothers...... Alas! ”

Hu Xiuge gritted his teeth, unable to speak. The old pawn sighed softly and patted Hu Xiu's shoulder. The person who was close to the left saw that the middle finger and ring finger of the old man's left hand were missing knuckles, and there were craggy bone joints at the broken places.

"You're thinking too much, Hu Xiu. It was pouring rain and fighting in a chaotic manner, and it was the most difficult thing to command the troops as expected. That's when you put your power into play. The reason why you have suffered so many casualties is because you have not been able to master all the tricks I have told you when fighting the enemy cavalry......"

"What's the trick?" Someone suddenly interjected and asked.

The old pawn looked back and saw that many generals and soldiers around him had fallen to one knee on the ground. A young general stood in the middle of the crowd with his hands in his hands, staring at them with a fierce gaze.
