Xu Zi laughed a long time ago and put away the bow and arrow.

Even though he killed six people, he felt no discomfort and no guilt.

These bandits usually commit crimes, and there is no good person. Although they have committed no death penalty, they bully men and women and do many illegal acts. This time they gather and attack, they are not worth mercy.

There is no difference between killing such people and killing chickens and dogs.

Before he knew it, Xu Zixian's mentality also changed. During the First Battle of Hekou, when he looked at the neck behind the chopped head, blood flowing on his body, and a ferocious head, Xu Zixian felt quite uncomfortable, and even felt like he was about to vomit... This is not an exaggeration. It is normal for a person who has never seen such a scene to experience it for the first time.

For more than ten days afterwards, Xu Zixian seemed to smell bloody every time he ate, but he suppressed his discomfort and talked to everyone, forcibly suppressing those negative emotions.

By this time, although there was still a strong smell of blood in his nose, Xu Zixian no longer felt uncomfortable at all.

Xu Zi jumped off the bow of the lucky boat first. The rain had almost stopped. All the soldiers got off the boat one after another, carefully wiping the rainwater stained on the bow and arrow with the prepared dry cloth, and then put the bow and arrow into the insert bag to keep it safe.

The importance of weapons is also an extremely important course. It seems that all the teeth around you are learning well.

Wu Weisan and Jin Baoyi surrounded him. Jin Bao looked full of disdain. He pointed behind him and said to Xu Zixian: "Look at the prince, Han Bingde is scared."

The people in Jiang Defense Camp are actually similar. Now the hands of the sludge have just stood up and looked around with no expression on their faces.

There were still flapping people on the river surface, many of which had been drowned, and the bodies were floating down the river.

There are broken large and small ships everywhere, and the ownerless boats are also floating downstream.

The bleeding corpse was still flowing in Gugu, and wisps of blood flowed into the river, dyeing half of the river red.

"Han rule." Xu Zixian smiled and said, "The drowned thieves cut off their heads, and a head is worth five jin of coins. The prisoners can be taken to the quarry and exchanged for money in the iron ore. The officials there will be very happy and can get a considerable favor."

Han Bingde was originally trembling with fear. After Xu Zi said this, he immediately calmed down and said to the stunned wing soldiers: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and catch people and chop the head!"

The wing soldiers also realized that they might have never fought such a refreshing water battle. The thieves on the other side had no power to fight. This was a very novel experience, and they did not wake up for a while.

The Fuchuan quickly turned around, and the archer worked together to catch the bodies and hook the struggling thieves with a twitch.

Amid the scolding, the wing soldiers began to chop off people's heads, and even to save trouble, those who were still alive were beheaded. Han Bingde was scolding angrily, selling living people was also a great fortune and could not be wasted easily.

Xu Zixian showed a contemptuous smile on his face, ignored these people and walked forward with great strides.

The riverside is full of reed marshes that are more than one person tall, and small boats can be moored in shallow waters. Many small thieves of the thief were originally hidden in reed marshes on the bank of the Yangtze River. After wading through the shallow waters that are knee-deep, they have to wade through the mud area, and finally step onto the beach and climb up the shore.

More than a hundred people were quite silent and followed Xu Zi first to climb up.

Jin Jian and others kept guarding Xu Zixian, and Gao Shilai held the shield in his hand high against Xu Zixian's side.

The setting sun is setting, if a crossbow arrow is shot in the dark at this time, it will be an unforgivable negligence for everyone.

Xu Zixian himself didn't care much. If those rogue rangers had a promising future, they would have to make some decent resistance on the river just now. Moreover, even if there were brave men lurking, it would be almost a dream to hit Xu Zixian in the dim light.

After stepping onto the river embankment, a burnt smell came from my nose, which was also the unique smell of Gukou Town.

From Gukou to Nanping, since there is iron ore for mining in the Xuefeng Mountains, there are blast furnaces for iron smelting everywhere in more than a dozen towns around it, and the smell is of course unpleasant.

The mountains near these towns were almost all bare, and the formed trees had long been cut down.

There are also many complaints in the town. Because of the iron smelting industry, it is difficult for residents in the town to cut down some trees to burn charcoal to keep warm. The wood for daily cooking is also very rare. It mainly relies on straw. In some places in Fujian where iron smelting, the price of grass bundles is much more expensive than in other places. A bundle of straw can actually buy several copper coins. It is unimaginable on Jinghu South Road and Zhejiang West Road.

Weeds grow on the edge of the river embankment, and the shrubs are also followed, almost half a person tall.

The official roads extending from Nan'an and the two water outlets become uneven at the valley entrance, which is a situation caused by the crushing of carriages all year round.

In the dim light, there were large groups of knights waiting by the bushes, leading horses.

Zhang Huchen strode forward and saluted Xu Zi first, with a very happy expression on his face.

Zhang Huchen said: "Just just now, the fierce battles on the river were very loud, and my subordinates were really worried. Fortunately, Lao Jin and Wu followed him, so I couldn't imagine it..."

Wu Weisan smiled and said, "We didn't do much effort just now. The prince himself shot six bandits to death."

Jin Bao's excitement was not gone, and he waved his fist without saying a word.

Since the death of the old Marquis of Nan'an, the Marquis's mansion will generally be depressed. At this moment, everyone has seen a greater and brighter future.

"I won't talk much." Xu Zixian said: "Are the horses ready?"

Zhang Huchen said: "A hundred more horses were added, so I asked all the major merchants for help in advance, but they were all ready."

"If there is any damage, you will pay them according to the price." Xu Zixian frowned slightly. There were many horses with empty saddles behind Zhang Huchen, but only a dozen were qualified war horses. The rest looked strong, but they were actually miscellaneous horses.

There are only a few horses in Fujian, and only the guards and escorts of big businesses need good horses. Ordinary people raise mules or donkeys. Those who can raise large animals are considered to be middle-class people with good family wealth.

War horses are completely different from mixed horses. War horses have larger physiques, thicker legs, and stronger carrying capacity. Horses are also trained and will not easily cause chaos or become shocked horses on the battlefield.

The scattered horse is small and has not undergone rigorous training, so it is easy to be frightened on the battlefield.

Even so, it is quite difficult to get a hundred horses. The Hou Mansion is still so proud of the face, and the big merchants in Lin Dingyi and other towns are doing their best to help.

"Go on the horse." Xu Zixian didn't say much. Zhang Huchen ordered his military soldiers to bring the horses over, followed Xu Zixian's tooth generals and returned to their command position.

This is an imposed version of the Ichidu cavalry. Except for Zhang Huchen and the cavalry soldiers, all the good generals and carefully selected military officers were selected and met with the Ichidu cavalry at the valley entrance.

"Thirteen miles away from Nan'an." Zhang Huchen said: "We can arrive within half an hour."

"It's started." Jin Jian suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Firelight."

Everyone looked at Nan'an. Of course, they couldn't see anything between ten miles, but they could see fires on the riverside, and countless fires were rising in the direction of the riverside, looking quite amazing.

At the same time, there were also sounds of shouting and killing. As the sound was heard, there were at least two or three thousand people.

"The Pu family has really invested a lot." Xu Zixian smiled coldly and said to his subordinates: "Don't delay any more, let's go."

Chen Zhengzhi sighed from the side: "The Great Wei was in such chaos. When I was a child, I never thought that a sex merchant would dare to act so unscrupulously."

"This is when there is an insider in the family, the foreign thief will be summoned." Xu Zixian said: "People must insult themselves before they will be insulted by outsiders."

Chen Zhengzhi looked quite heartbroken. He was a cautious man and a square gentleman. He is still a disciple of Wu Shizhong. He has a strong Confucian atmosphere and is of course very sad about what is happening in front of him.

Xu Zixian didn't care about this. What he was concerned about now was the result of this war. He knew that not only were there suspicious soldiers at Gukou, but also a large number of small boats appeared on the river near Houfu County. There were not many people here at Gukou. The main reason was that the Pu family could not be sure whether Xu Zixian would bring people in person. Although there was a great order from the comforting envoy, Xu Zixian could also send Yajiang to Gukou. With this, it was impossible to say that Xu Zixian would disobey orders.

So most of the people who stay here are miscellaneous fish, which are simply vulnerable.

If the Pu family can be sure that Xu Zixian will take the risk of going west and put the main force here, attacking Xu Zixian will definitely be the most preferred choice, and in the event that it is unsure, it is not wrong to give priority to attack Nan'an.

As long as the regiment training soldiers are defeated, it will cause serious damage to Nan'an, Xu Zixian's regiment training position must not be guaranteed, and even the regiment training in Nan'an is mostly cancelled.

In this way, the Pu family vented their anger, and of course they solved the oppression caused by the Semu merchants and their dissatisfaction with the Pu family.

Speaking of which, the Pu family is really arrogant. They just dispatched thousands of people to set up a checkpoint and collect donations, and suppressed the Nan'an League training at all costs. And there are people at the top of Fujian Road who try their best to cooperate. Xu Zixian had no expression on his face, but he was full of anger.

Of course, these self-righteous people in the world of the Great Wei Dynasty use this political means to constantly flee internally, and then destroy it to what they are now.

The cavalry group moved, and a small group of whistles rode horses in front to prevent traps and ambush. The large group of people followed closely behind in the form of a cavalry column of three cavalry columns.

...

"Is Qin Dongyang really setting up a formation on the beach?" Xu Ziwei's face turned pale and his expression was very ugly.

Large swaths of ships suddenly gathered on the river surface, and it took less than half an hour.

Each ship has at least ten people. There are only more than 300 boats of all sizes on the river, which almost gives people the feeling of covering the sky and the sun.

Of course, the biggest of these ships is the lucky ship, and most of them are large and large ships.

There were even many fishing boats directly, with two paddlings paddling, and there were about ten people sitting on it. The boat drank water, very, very deep, and no one on the boat dared to move.

"Nearly four thousand people." Li Gu looked at Xu Ziwen with a shocked look, then looked at Xu Ziwei with a ugly face, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. The two young men who were praised in the royal palace were one too soft and cowardly, and the other was stubborn and conceited. Strictly speaking, they were not considered good candidates.

King Zhao was actually a wealthy person with a arrogant personality, but was good at hiding himself. In terms of talents, abilities, and mind, it seemed that he was just an ordinary person, but he only had a massive resource that ordinary people could not imagine.

The thieves gradually gathered on the river, and a large number of ships began to rush to the Nan'an River Beach on the north shore.

There is a very prominent building complex on the river beach, which is the pier and trestle area that has just been built and has not been completed. Many thieves rushed here first.

When approaching the beach, many thieves threw out the torches in their hands. There were endless groups of reeds on the bank of the river. After the torches were thrown over, the withered weeds and yellow reeds began to burn.
