Tao Qianzhi squatted on the grave mound and smashed a wine bottle with his fist. Six or seven bottles of expensive soju from Gangnam-do in the Liyang Dynasty flowed freely into Beimang and seeped into the mud in front of the grave along with the rainwater. Tao Qianzhi flicked the tongs used in the army and ignited the yellow paper. He muttered to himself, "Old man, you don't have much ability, but you taught us how to survive. At that time, if you didn't say that it was useless for you to accumulate military merits and gave those two heads to Dong Zhuo, this guy wouldn't have the glory he has today even if he was beaten to death. If you didn't block a knife for me in the end, I wouldn't have been able to get you good wine. That Dong Zhuo is a stone in a latrine pit. He has a stinky and stubborn temper. When we were drinking, he let it slip that he didn't have the face to see you, an old man who is as prideful as he is. I didn't think as much as he did. Since we're already in Liucheng, it wouldn't be right if we didn't bring you a few bottles of good wine that you've coveted for a long time during the Qingming Festival. You're a narrow-minded old man. When I stole your wine, it was like stealing your wife. Oh, I forgot. You've been single your whole life. If you're still alive today, old man, you only need to tell us who you like. Dong Zhuo and I won't be afraid of anyone. We'll help you snatch it. "
Tao Qianzhi held the burning yellow paper in his hand, completely ignoring the burning pain. He said softly, "Before I came to visit your grave, I killed a Beiliang soldier. I chopped off his limbs with my own hands with a Beiliang knife. I know you're a coward and I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep well, so I didn't bring him to your grave to disturb you. Old man, let me tell you. In fact, the Beiliang cavalry only thought we were invincible when we were young. It was mainly because we were scared by you. Every time before we went to the battlefield, we would see you trembling and your legs shaking just by hearing the hooves of the horses. Even Dong Zhuo and I were scared to death. Now that we've killed so many Beiliang soldiers, it's actually not that big of a deal. When we came to Liucheng, we brought four cages of Beiliang soldiers. Many of them were begging for mercy like dogs. Some of them were worse than dogs when they drew their swords against their fellow soldiers in order to survive. "
After the yellow paper was burned, Tao Qianzhi clapped his hands to disperse the ashes. He slowly got up and said, "I won't keep you from drinking.."
The thirty-one cavalries silently mounted. Tao Qianzhi............ Tao Qianzhi's....... Tao Qianzhi. of Tao Qianzhi..
. "Tao Qianzhi nodded and said with a smile," I thought those parasites in the imperial family's sauce jar would take the opportunity of my demotion to come here and clamor to beat a drowning dog. It seems that I overestimated their courage. "
The captain sneered, "What kind of brave soldiers can these embroidered pillows wearing silver armor and carrying silver swords produce? Even if there were a hundred of them, they would only be stuffed between our teeth."
Tao Qianzhi raised his head to look at the gray sky. The rain showed no signs of abating. He withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Return to the city."
The sound of thunder, rain, and horse hooves.
One cavalryman followed the other. They rushed out of the two to three miles long muddy path near the burial mound and were about to turn into the official road.
Tao Qianzhi's pupils shrank. A trace of ruthlessness flashed through his eyes. He raised his hand and the thirty cavalrymen behind him stopped instantly. Normally, the official road could allow four cavalrymen to ride side by side. But after the heavy rain, it was full of potholes. Three cavalrymen riding side by side was the limit. If the cavalrymen wanted to maximize the impact of their charge, two cavalrymen would be the best.
On the official road splashed with water droplets, a young man with a saber stood with an umbrella.
There was no way the military officer who was proficient in scouting could investigate every single blade of grass and tree within a range of three li in such a short amount of time. Together with the fact that the heavy rain had erased all traces of footprints, he could only guarantee that there was a group of around ten people. Towards this fish that slipped through the net, the Northern Mang sixth rank military officer berated, "Who goes there?!"
The man with the saber didn't speak. He just slowly closed the umbrella and inserted the tip of the umbrella into the mud beside him.
Tao Qianzhi was indeed a decisive general. When he saw the young man's action, the corner of his mouth twitched. He said calmly, "Two teams, charge. Kill without mercy."
The two cavalrymen rushed out side by side. The horses under the cavalrymen were strong. They were good horses that were familiar with war. When they ran, they showed a very dynamic visual beauty. When the rain washed over them, their mane trembled with the rhythm of their muscles. For a moment, the sound of the horses' hooves covered the sound of the rain.
The two unsheathed sabers were as clear as snow. The blades were wider and thicker than the Beiliang sabers. They were similar in length but slightly less sharp. The curvature was bigger.
Experienced soldiers had to match the running speed of their mounts when they attacked. The road conditions caused the horses to bump up and down. The two cavalrymen had thick arms. They were originally brave spearmen of the Gusi Border Army. When they attacked with their sabers, they were imposing. If they weren't elites, they wouldn't be qualified to be brought to Liucheng by Tao Qianzhi as his personal guards.
The two tall horses attacked at the same time. The young man who was sandwiched in the middle didn't move his feet. His body turned like a top and drew an arc. He leaned back toward the horse whose saber missed. He stepped back with his right foot and pressed his back against the horse's side. Then, with a loud bang, the man and the horse, which weighed nearly two thousand pounds, were knocked out. The four hooves were suspended in the air. They fell down sixty or seventy feet away. The cavalryman on the horse fainted on the spot. Leaning against the back of a horse, the young saberman leaped forward with the help of the rebound force. He took a few steps forward at lightning speed and punched the muscular buttocks of the second war horse. Blood splashed out in an instant. The war horse whined and spun half a circle in the air before landing in the mud outside the official road. The cavalryman was indeed brave. He bounced off the back of the horse and slid a long distance in the mud. He wiped his face with a ferocious expression.
The two leading cavalrymen of the remaining eight cavalrymen, who had been charging in two rows, were fearless in the face of this swordsman's cold-blooded methods. Based on the experience they had gained from countless battles on the battlefield, they once again cooperated with their comrades to strike with their swords.
The young man didn't retreat. Instead, he moved forward. His body was like a swimming fish. He slid through the curtain of rain and lowered his head to avoid the saber. He ignored the cavalryman on his right. His left hand was glued to the arm of another cavalryman. His feet were lifted off the ground by the momentum of the horse's charge. He quickly flipped onto the horse and sat behind the cavalryman. He pressed his hands on the cavalryman's head and twisted it in a crisscross manner. The Crooked Arm Snake stuck to the chest of the corpse. With a twist, the corpse that weighed one hundred and forty or fifty pounds was thrown backward. It hit the head of the cavalryman who was chasing behind him. The head of the horse that had fought with its master for many years was smashed. Its front hooves were bent and it crashed into the mud. The cavalryman rolled a few times. The fourth cavalryman was skilled in horsemanship. Not only did he avoid the fallen horse, he also bent down and reached out to pull up the first man. The latter jumped onto the horse without hesitation. The two men rode together and continued to pursue without fear of death.
It was obvious that Beimang's soldiers were brave and good at fighting.
