In September 1900, on the official road dozens of miles south of Xiangwu County, Longxi County, yellow sand blew up in the wind and flew all over the sky. Thousands of cavalry attacked Xiangwu County. These cavalry are all light cavalry troops. The weapons in their hands include spears and scimitars. Most of them are wearing animal skins. Judging from their formation, they are not Han cavalry.
As the troops approached the city, tens of thousands of cavalry surrounded the north of Xiangwu County. Although they had not yet launched an attack, their momentum was so frightening that the defenders on the city were too scared to leave the city.
"Hey, Han people in the city, listen, I am Jiang Rong, the leader of the ancient Qiang clan. If you want to survive, please quickly open the city gate and let me wait inside the city, otherwise you will march on Xiangcheng and massacre all the people in the city." A tall middle-aged man, wearing animal skins and holding a machete, came to the city and shouted loudly to the soldiers on the city. People didn't expect that the patriarch of the ancient Qiang clan could speak fluent Chinese.
On the city wall, a general and several soldiers stood at the top of the city, clasping his hands and glaring at the foreign cavalry below the city: "These Qiang people have entered our Han territory to rob us again, and they dare to let us open the city gate and let them in. I don't know." Life or death."
Hearing the general gnashing his teeth, a subordinate behind him hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "My lord, Commander, please be patient. You have just arrived in Xiangcheng and you don't know what happened. These Qiang people are not easy to mess with. They come here every year." At this time, people will come to our Xiangcheng city to rob, and as long as they take away what they need, they will leave safely, so¡¡¡¡¡¡¡±
"So you should let me swallow my anger and let him go into the city to rob him?" The county lieutenant looked unhappy and hurriedly asked the men behind him, but he saw that the other man did not react and nodded in recognition.
"Lord Lieutenant, they are not easy to mess with! With the strength we have in front of us, it is better to cause less trouble. Besides, even Prefect Liang turns a blind eye. Why should we seek death?" Then The famous subordinate spoke again.
The more the county lieutenant listened, the angrier his face became. He drew out the sword from his waist and killed the men behind him with one strike. "Bah! What a coward. Since I, Pang De, am an official of the Han Dynasty, how can I just let these Qiang bastards enter the city and rob me? The money and food of the common people cost the lives of my Han people.¡±
The man in front of me is none other than Pang De and Pang Lingming, the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms period. Now, not long after he arrived in Longxi County and took up the post of county lieutenant, he encountered such a big event. For him who is bloody, he will not let the ancient Qiang people under the city into the city even if they die in battle.
Pang De was quick and quick to kill the subordinate, which shocked the soldiers on the city wall. The newly appointed lieutenant in front of him was true to his word and never sloppy. Looking at the soldiers who were killed, the soldiers couldn't help but feel frightened.
Pang De glanced at the soldiers in the city and said, "Tell me, are you all Han people? Do you have your parents, wives, and children in the city? If you put these Qiang bastards into the city, would you have thought about your parents?" Your own wives and children, let them kill your relatives and insult your wives, are you still considered a man, and you are not considered a soldier of my Han Dynasty"
Pound¡¯s words were fierce, and all the soldiers present glared fiercely and clenched their fists. Just when everyone's anger was rising, a soldier raised his fist and shouted angrily, "Damn it, let's fight with those idiots."
"This group of Qiang people are not three-headed and six-armed. I'm afraid of them!"
"That's right, there's nothing to say. If he kills our people to steal our money and food, we will kill them. The worst case scenario is death, and he will still be a man in eighteen years."
"Yes, let's fight with them. Today we don't want anything but the heads of these Qiang people."
There was excitement in the city, and the morale of the originally timid soldiers was high, and they were likely to fight to the death with the Qiang people outside the city.
"Okay, if you are a man, follow me out of the city. If anyone is afraid of death, get out of here. Today I have to rub off the majesty of these Qiang people." After Pang De finished speaking, he strode towards the city without even turning his head. We walked calmly down the steps to the city.
"If you leave the city, whoever dares to leave the city is the turtle grandson"
The soldiers quickly descended from the city. At this time, a large number of soldiers and horses poured into the city. Although there were not as many as tens of thousands outside the city, there were still about four to five thousand. Pang De's trip out of the city was not just to show off his opponent, he also wanted to capture the thieves first and capture the king first, and capture Jiang Rong, the leader of the ancient Qiang clan, in one fell swoop.
"Squeak!" The city gate slowly opened. Pound, wearing battle armor and holding a sword, took the lead in withdrawing from the city gate. The soldiers behind him quickly followed and formed their formations.
Pang De rode his horse and came to Jiang Rong. The distance between the two sides was more than ten meters. Pang De held a knife in one hand and stroked the horse's mane with the other hand. "Jiang Rong of the ancient Qiang clan, right? If you want to enter the city today, then step over me. Otherwise , it¡¯s better to retreat quickly.¡±
The long sword was pointed directly at Jiang Rong. Facing the enemy's thousands of troops, Pound looked calm and did not use these at all.The Qiang people take it seriously.
"Hmph! When did Xiangwu City have a person who was not afraid of death? He dared to stand in the way of our ancient Qiang clan. We are really tired of living." Jiang Rong inserted the scimitar into the scabbard, took a spear from his subordinates and pointed at it. Pang De rode his horse and charged forward.
"I, Pang De, won't leave the city for fear of death." The two horses crossed each other, and the two cavalry galloped quickly. The shadows of swords and guns suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. After five moves, the two of them retreated.
"It seems that you still have a few tricks up your sleeve, and can be as good as me, Jiang Rong. There are not many people in Xiliang." Jiang Rong said arrogantly. He is also quite confident in his martial arts.
When Pang De heard what the other party said, he couldn't help but cursed, "Fart, even with your three-legged cat skills, you dare to be arrogant here in Xiliang. Your Grandpa Pang will kill you today."
"Looking for death." Jiang Rong shouted angrily, armed his gun and rode his horse to kill again, and the two of them immediately stood together again. After the two exchanged fifteen moves, Pang De roared angrily and slashed out with all his strength. Jiang Rong raised his spear and arrived, but he underestimated Pound's sword. The power of the sword was completely different from the one Pang had just killed. different.
The sword flashed and fell, and there was only a click. The handle of the spear was cut off by the sword. The sword didn't even weaken. Jiang Rong didn't have time to react. The sword fell, and a line of blood spattered into the sky, followed by a shrill scream. As soon as the sound came out, Jiang Rong fell from his horse and was fatally stabbed.
"You dare to come and call the city with such martial arts skills. You simply don't know whether to live or die." Jiang Rong was killed by Pang De with a sword, and the entire battlefield was suddenly quiet. Pang De raised his long sword high and slashed down, directly decapitating Jiang Rong, and then raised his sword and threw it towards the ancient Qiang army
