My years as a soldier

"Let's go!"

Yan Zhaozhong suddenly raised his voice, and waved at the Youzhou soldiers.

"Whoever wants to get money, follow me!"

The words he shouted to the crowd were so high-pitched that Hu Jiuzhang couldn't help but have the illusion of dreaming back to the battlefield.

He looked at the dozens of people in front of him one by one. Some of them had unshaven beards, some even put on their military uniforms casually, and some of them still conformed to Tang Jun's standards in appearance, but the expressions on their faces were different. Extremely impatient.

"The brother next to me and I were born in Han Haijun, Beiting Governor's Mansion, so including the two of us, we have a total of eighteen people, all of whom are soldiers. So don't worry, everyone, what are you thinking? , I understand. I promise you, I will not lose a single point, but my only request is for you to help me fight a game from now on."

Yan Zhaozhong's tone was sincere, but until he finished speaking, the expressions of the group of people did not change significantly.

"Second Master Yan, as long as you can pay the money, we people will do it. You don't need to waste your time, this is not a war, and you use people's money to eliminate disasters for others. And don't expect us to work hard for this matter That's right, life is gone, how can I get money? Don't you think so?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

"That's right! What money do you get when people are dead! Second Master Yan, just tell us what you want us to do, brothers are all here for that little money, it's useless to talk more."

Yan Zhaozhong frowned slightly, Hu Jiuzhang looked at him, and then turned his gaze to the group of rebels.To be honest, he never expected anything from these people, but Yan Zhaozhong stood there with a solemn expression, never letting go.

"I don't care what you thought before, but once this is done now, each of you will be a hero who saved King Su. Not only will you not have to bear the charge of rebels to return home, but you will also have money to pay. But if this fails, you will have to bear the name of the rebels from now on. Even if you return to the Central Plains in the future, you will only be able to live incognito. I said, I will not give you any money. There will be less. But even if I want you to die, you have to snatch King Su back from the hands of Gao Lingcen! Do you understand? If you want to come, you can stand by my side. If you don’t want to lose your life for this matter , then get out now!"

Yan Zhaozhong waved his hand, and the people on the opposite side looked at me and I looked at you.It's been a while.

Some people paced back and forth, some chatted in low voices, and some tightened the belts around their waists back and forth, and drew out their horizontal knives to look.

As time passed by, Hu Jiuzhang became more and more nervous.

He was afraid that he and Yan Zhaozhong had spent too much time on this group of people, causing Gao Lingcen and his group to run away.He looked sideways at Yan Zhaozhong, thinking whether he should say something to him, but just as he was hesitating for a moment, someone from the opposite side walked towards them.

"Count me in, but Er Ye Yan, you have to give enough money, even if I die, you have to give enough money! You have to send it to my home!"

"to make."

Yan Zhaozhong responded with a smile.

And soon, three or four people came towards them.

In the end, only three of the sixteen people in Youzhou turned around and left, while the remaining thirteen people stood behind Yan Zhaozhong and Hu Jiuzhang.

This time, Yan Zhaozhong didn't say much, he waved his hand towards the crowd and only said one sentence.

"go!"

Hu Jiuzhang hadn't felt this surge of emotion for a long time. Because of his inconvenient legs and feet, he walked at the end of the line, while Yan Zhaozhong was at the front.When they arrived, the members of the Gao family had just assembled and were about to leave in front of the temple gate.

Yan Zhaozhong saw Yan Suhe who was looking after Gao Lingcen, pulled him to the back, and then led the people forward for a while as if nothing had happened. When he was about to reach the carriage where King Su was imprisoned, he suddenly Take a turn into the line.

Gao Lingcen was riding on a horse, only a dozen meters away from them. He frowned and looked over. He didn't realize what Yan Zhaozhong was going to do, until Yan Zhaozhong was almost walking in front of him——

"Yan Zhaozhong, I have been very tolerant to you. If it wasn't for your uncle's face..."

Before Gao Lingcen finished speaking, he heard Yan Zhaozhong say "Kill!"The dozen or so soldiers following him drew out their horizontal knives one after another, and the blood of the servants of the Gao family was spattered on the spot in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Gao Lingcen was shocked, and hurriedly called for guards, and in this instant, the 15-member team was quickly put on the narrow dirt road by guards on the third floor from Gao's house. surrounded.

Although Gao Lingcen was brought very close by Yan Zhaozhong's sudden move, seeing that this group of people were surrounded by his subordinates, Gao Lingcen felt confident.

"Yan Zhaozhong, I really don't know what you're thinking! Hmph... Since you dare to do it, don't blame me for not giving your Yan family face! Don't let me let go of any of these people today! Kill me, If you kill one person, you will be rewarded with 30 taels of silver!"

As soon as Gao Lingcen finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers from among the guards of the Gao family.In an instant, I don't know which side struck first, the dirt road in front of the monastery was already a massacre.

Hu Jiuzhang walked at the end of the team. He was not wearing Tang Jun's military uniform, and he was holding a cane in his hand, so it looked like he really didn't belong to this group, but he was holding a knife in his hand. The guards were often taken aback when they saw him, and they were cut and wounded by Hu Jiuzhang just in that moment.

It is true that in terms of strength, these guards of the Gao family are by no means opponents of Tang soldiers like them.But what this group of people want is to save King Su, not to fight with this group of people. When one of them stepped into the carriage and wanted to pull King Su out, five or six people from the Gao family attacked together, but it was a cry. Many people on their side were injured.Seeing that the situation was not going well, Yan Zhaozhong rushed towards Gao Lingcen in a hurry, trying to corner the man who gave orders in front of him.

Gao Lingcen also immediately drew out his saber, but his martial arts skills were not very good, and Yan Zhaozhong knocked the long saber flying in his hand a few times.

After Gao Lingcen screamed, he rode his horse and galloped out of the encirclement. Before leaving, he did not forget to explain to everyone.

"Behead one person! Reward 50 taels of silver! Don't let me let anyone go!"

As soon as Gao Lingcen left, people from Yan Zhaozhong's side took advantage of the situation to occupy the carriage where King Su was imprisoned.These Youzhou soldiers are also familiar with each other. When they saw that their companions were injured, they rushed forward and pulled them into the carriage. Although they occupied the carriage, they were surrounded by the Gao family's brigade It's getting tighter.

During this period, Hu Jiuzhang leaned on his crutches and barely resisted the impact, but his movements were slower than those with healthy hands and feet. Everyone retreated to the side of the carriage, leaving him alone, and they wanted him to be handed over by the Gao family. Dumplings were made individually.How could Hu Jiuzhang be able to defend against attacks from all directions, he was hacked several times in a short time.His body was covered with blood, and he couldn't maintain his balance. After being hit hard a few times, he felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.Fortunately, Yan Zhaozhong rushed over in time to help him block the attacks behind him one by one.

"Jiu Zhang, are you okay? I'll take you into the car right away, you rest first, even if someone dies, you won't be allowed to die."

"Hmph...don't come here. I'm afraid I'm the only one involved. It's worth dying for this."

Hu Jiuzhang endured the pain caused by the knife wound on his body, took advantage of Yan Zhaozhong's effort to help him parry, pressed hard on the most bleeding cut, and wanted to stop the bleeding first.

"Stop talking about these unlucky things!"

Yan Zhaozhong swung away the scimitar that was attacking his chest, pulled Hu Jiuzhang's uninjured arm, and led him to the carriage.

"Jiu Zhang, there are too many of them, and we can't finish the fight. Let's wait a while and get into the carriage, and drive His Royal Highness King Su straight out. You and the brothers from Youzhou, take King Su to run first. As for Shi Ziye, I will go back and pick him up later!"

"Let's go out and talk—"

Hu Jiuzhang's voice trembled slightly.

In the past, he would not be so weak when he suffered this kind of injury, but the injury in Tongguan was too serious, and his iron body was exhausted. Now that he has added a few incisions, he has lost blood. Feeling dizzy for a while, he had to hold on to move forward, and he and Yan Zhaozhong got to the side of the carriage.

"Jiu Zhang! Hold on!"

Seeing that Hu Jiuzhang's face was getting worse and worse, Yan Zhaozhong dragged Hu Jiuzhang to the crossbar in front of the carriage, and several wounded Youzhou soldiers in the carriage pulled Hu Jiuzhang into the carriage together.

King Su in the car was stunned by the scene of the fight. He recognized Hu Jiuzhang's appearance immediately, and asked him a few words, but Hu Jiuzhang was unable to answer.

Outside the carriage, Yan Zhaozhong took the remaining seven or eight people and formed a formation around the carriage.

The horses pulling the cart were frightened and paced back and forth in place, neighing. The few of them couldn't care less about comforting the two horses, so they could only tighten the reins desperately so that the horses wouldn't overturn the cart.

The two sides fell into a stalemate again, and a purple dress suddenly appeared not far away. It turned out that Gao Lingcen had the courage to ride back after seeing the situation was stabilized by his subordinates. When he got off the horse, it seemed that there was another person .Yan Zhaozhong took a closer look, and it was the uncle Yan Suhe who was dragged all the way by the wrist tied by the fellow.

Now, even Yan Zhaozhong couldn't swing his saber calmly.

Seeing that Yan Suhe was pale, as if he was about to faint, Yan Zhaozhong's hand holding the knife trembled slightly.

"Yan Zhaozhong, I advise you to think about your uncle. I will definitely not let you go today, but if you stop now, I can still let your Yan family go."

Yan Zhaozhong stood there holding the knife for a long time without replying.

And during this time of talking, both sides gradually stopped their offensive.

Gao Lingcen seemed to be very satisfied with the current situation, he pulled the hemp rope that tied Yansuhe, and the old man fell to the ground.Yan Zhaozhong couldn't help roaring, but he couldn't abandon the car and leave in the face of heavy siege.But at this moment, Gao Lingcen waved his hand at the guards beside him, and saw that one of the guards opened his longbow, and the arrow was pointing in the direction of Yan Zhaozhong.

"Gao Lingcen! You—"

Yan Zhao's heart skipped a beat, before he could react, a sharp reverberation flew through the air, the arrow was not aimed at him, but at the horse beside him!

There was a muffled sound of iron piercing into the flesh, and one of the horses was shot by an arrow. After eating madly in pain, it suddenly jumped up its front hooves and let out a scream. The other horse pulling the cart was also frightened and ran away with it.

How could the rest of these people hold back the two frantic horses, and saw the two horses rushing into the dense forest, but the carriage behind them couldn't get through.

The wooden cart hit a big tree in the forest and fell apart with a "boom".

Yan Zhaozhong didn't care much, and rushed straight to the broken carriage.
