Chapter 214: The Fire

Looking at the rocket flying all over the sky, Li Hun was about to get angry. He was barefoot and barefoot in the yard with his upper body barefoot. Seeing the guard Li Biao running over with a panic on his face, he was even more angry and kicked Li Biao, who was covered in armor, and kicked him out, but Li Hun was so painful that he hugged his feet and jumped straight.

Li Qing and Li Erhe looked at the old man who was on the yard, but could not laugh no matter what. They never dreamed that the revenge of the Prince Long's Mansion came so quickly and so resolutely. No one had ever dared to make ground on Tai Sui's head, even when the confrontation with the Huangfu family was the most intense, and even when the battle with Emperor Zhaowu was the most intense in recent years.

But there has never been a person like Qin Lei!

Li Hun's eldest grandson, Li Yanglai, who had become an orphan, quickly stepped forward to support the old man. Li Hun hugged the eldest grandson's neck, then stopped, stared at his incompetent brother and his incompetent son, and roared: "Come here!"

The chief and deputy commander of the Tiance Army moved to Li Hun obediently. Li Hun raised a big slap like a dustpan and cursed: "You two turtle grandsons know how to watch the fun, and they don't know how to come and help." As soon as he finished speaking, the big slap slapped at the two of them.

Li Qing and Li Erhe were probably used to being slapped by the old man, and they didn't reach out to block them, nor did they hide everywhere. They just closed their eyes and pursed their lips, and kept their movements. Although the slap of Old Li was heavy enough, the quality of fighting against attacks in the blood of Old Li family was obviously higher.

Fortunately, it was not the time to beat the child, so Li Hun stopped fighting for a while. Then the two opened their eyes, staring at the raging fire that was starting to burn around! They couldn't help but exclaim in unison: "Wow, it's so hot!" Li Hun was so angry that he almost beat the two bastards up again.

Li Biao is a child from the Li family. He is obviously not as strong as Li Qing and the others in his fight. He has only now covered his stomach and stood in front of Li Hun again, coughing and saying, "Cough cough, master, there are thousands of fully armed cavalry outside..."

Li Hun snorted coldly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, this kid's wings are hard. I don't show my power, and he even said that Prince Ma has three eyes."

Li Erhe covered his face and whispered: "Prince Ma has three eyes, right?" Li Qing scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I don't know very well..." Seeing that Li Hun was about to beat him again, the two of them quickly raised their chests and saluted: "Tiance Army is ready to go, please order the Grand Marshal!"

Li Hun raised his big hand halfway back, slammed it hard on his chest, gave a military salute, and shouted: "Catch that boy Qin Lei and see me!"

The two of them stood attentively and said, "Abide by the order!" After that, they turned around and walked out. After walking a little further, the two of them started to mutter again. Li Erhe asked in a low voice: "Uncle, do you think my father wants to die or live?"

Li Qing scratched his head again, thought for a while, and whispered: "It's hard to say, why don't we go back and ask..."

"Forget it, I don't want to see his bad face, as if he owed him three or five thousand silver." After saying that, Li Erhe looked back carefully and saw that he was talking to Li Biao, so he felt relieved.

Li Qing also turned around and said in the same way: "Then let's do it. If you can catch someone alive, you will catch someone alive. If you don't, you will catch someone to death. To be honest, I would rather look at your aunt's chrysanthemum face than look at your father's turtle face."

The carved railings and jade-like buildings of the Taiwei Mansion are connected to the courtyards. Once the fire catches, it will easily spread. In a short while, the fires around will burn bigger and bigger, making the night red. Wailings, shouts, help, curses, mixed with crackling burning sounds, making people feel as if they are in purgatory.

"Oh, uncle, my aunt's building is really about to be on fire. Why don't I go by myself and go back to put out the fire."

"No, it's better to burn that old pious woman to death! She's like that grandma, so I won't let me take a concubine!" It seems that the Li family is indeed afraid of the tradition.

The two uncles and nephews of the Li family were walking and chatting, walking and strolling to the schoolyard. There, the two thousand Tiance cavalry were already on their horses, waiting for the arrival of the two commanders.

When they arrived at the zodiac, the two men immediately returned to their former majesty. They strode to the front of the team with their right arm in a helmet. The personal soldiers quickly led the horse over, and someone was lying on the ground, asking the two commanders to step on the horse.

Li Qing rode on his beloved "Little Red Rabbit", glanced over the Tiance cavalry who was ready to go, and said coldly: "There are Qin Lei people outside, they trampled on our red line, they killed the unarmed brothers of the Erbai Bow Camp, or did they humiliate your general in the Golden Palace and assassinate our eldest son in the south. Now, they set fire outside the mansion, trying to burn us all to death. I would like to ask you in the blazing fire, how can we wash away the shame they brought to us? How can we calm the pain they brought to us?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The guy who was shouting and killed by the Tiance cavalry was sitting leisurely on the roof of a house a mile away from the Taiwei Mansion. While siping the blood of the fine wine hero in his hand, he was intoxicated by the prosperity of the Taiwei Mansion. He also explained passionately to Shi Meng below: "The fire was ignited in the noble Taiwei Mansion, and the entire Taiwei Mansion was already boiling! It has now burned to the warehouse. According to the Zhongdu Intelligence Bureau, some tincture oil was also stored in it, but it has not been confirmed."

Looking at Shi Meng, who was raising his head below, Qin Lei gesturing a flowering gesture while saying seriously: "If there is a loud bang and mushroom-shaped clouds rise, it means that the intelligence of the Spy Bureau is real, otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, the treasury of the Taiwei Mansion suddenly flashed dazzlingly, accompanied by a shocking loud noise, and a wave of air gushed in all directions. Naturally, Qin Lei would not just let him go just because he was handsome.

Qin Lei was first shocked by the 'very loud bang', and then he was pushed down on the eaves of the house by the explosion. If there weren't many guards around him and someone blocked him, he might have fallen out of the room and stayed in bed for the second time.

Even so, he also got dirty and got out of the room with a cough. Ren Black Guard slapped the dust on his body. Seeing Shi Meng holding back his smile, Qin Lei sarcastically said: "A person who tripped over and fell into a cripple is not qualified to laugh at others!"

Shi Meng couldn't laugh anymore, and his originally upturned mouth drooped. Weng said, "Didn't you say you won't laugh at me anymore?" He returned to the capital yesterday and went to Manyuanchun to see his wife, and stayed there that night. If he hadn't been separated from Zhuang Die'er for several months and had too much energy and had not fallen asleep until he was on fire, he might have turned into roasted quails.

As soon as he saw the fire, Shi Meng put a long robe on his wife without saying a word and hugged her and wanted to run out. Although Zhuang Die'er was not heavy, Shi Meng was a man who had been working for two or three hours after all, so his feet naturally floated. When his left leg was weak, he tripped his right leg and fell down, and even broke his left knee and couldn't get up immediately.

At that time, the fire had already spread to the yard where they lived, and Shi Meng hurriedly asked Zhuang Die'er to leave first, but Zhuang Die'er was also stubborn and wanted to drag him out. But Shi Meng, who was as heavy as a buffalo, could a delicate southern woman like Zhuang Die'er be shaken?

After pulling it a few times, he didn't pull it, and he even flashed Zhuang Die'er a big flicker and threw it on Shi Gan. At this time, there was already a fire outside, and you could feel the terrifying heat in the room. Shi Meng cursed and asked Zhuang Die'er to leave, but Zhuang Die'er hugged his arm and said softly: "The prince said, "Your husband, you are a stroke, I am a stroke, we are a stroke, we are a stroke, how can we separate?" As he said that, he closed his eyes with satisfaction.

Shi Meng could not understand this woman's stupid thoughts, but it is undeniable that from this moment on, he completely fell in love with Zhuang Die'er, and no longer had the simple obsession and dependence of the original. This sudden outbreak of feelings made him full of strength again. Finally, with the help of Zhuang Die'er, he crawled out of the fire with his hands crossed...

Everyone envied the boy for marrying a good wife, so they worked harder to mock him for the glorious deeds of tripping his left leg over his right leg. Although he saved his life, the knee of the left leg was seriously injured. He probably had to walk on a cane for two or three months. So he neither participated in the preparations of Xu Tian and his friends nor participated in the attacks of Shi Gan and Shi Yong and his friends, so he could only stay with Qin Lei honestly. Fortunately, he was the best chat with the royal family designated by Qin Lei Qin, and it was a good move to relieve the prince's boredom, and it was not completely useless.

The two of them spanked a few words, and Shi Yong ran in outside and reported in a deep voice: "The Tiance Cavalry has come out."

Qin Lei nodded and said, "Order the retreat." He didn't expect that the Tiance Army's reaction was so fast that it finally completed the assembly and rushed out in a short while.

Looking at Shi Yong's hurried back, Qin Lei's expression gradually became serious and he said to himself: "It seems that head-on confrontation is inevitable." According to his original intention, he did not want to confront the Tiance army this time. It was not that he was afraid, but he adopted Guantao's suggestion. This revenge only focused on the deterrent effect, and did not seek to truly eliminate the living power of the Taiwei Mansion, so as to avoid the escalation of the conflict and the situation could not be controlled.

A green signal flare exploded in the air. The black guards who shot with the "slingshot car" exclusively developed by the royal palace immediately stopped the design, carefully removed the spring and other parts on the slingshot car, and put them into the box on the carriage. Then they pushed the "slingshot carriages" with only wooden racks, poured two large cans of tinder oil, and finally threw a thread incense in it. The fire ignited violently, and in the blink of an eye, swallowed these slingshot cars that were just good.

This process is slow, but it also takes at least one quarter of an hour, so the black armored cavalry must hold the enemy for a quarter of an hour, and a head-on confrontation is inevitable. No one is afraid, but they are a little excited. The black armored cavalry has not fought any tough battles since its establishment. Last time they fought with the bloody killing, they only caught up with the final encirclement and annihilation, and missed the most exciting and exciting stage of chewing bones. Therefore, from officers to soldiers, they all hope to compete with strong players and measure which of their strength can rank in Daqin.

Today, according to the plan, they wanted to escort the slingshot convoy. Originally, in terms of time, they could not encounter any powerful team, but unexpectedly, the Tiance cavalry was faster than everyone expected, and appeared on the street in more than a moment.

The black-armored cavalry was overjoyed. Under the dispatch of the leader's officer, they had already rushed to the scattered front line and retreated from the battlefield from both wings, leaving the passage to the rear team who had been strictly guarding. The five hundred cavalry of the rear team accelerated without hesitation, and in a blink of an eye passed the comrades who were sweeping backwards and rushed towards the Tiance cavalry.

The Tiance Army, who firmly sits on the throne of the most powerful army in the Qin Dynasty, had more than 40,000 people, all of which were cavalry, half of each weight. There were 2,000 people stationed on the Taiwei Mansion every day, and the first one to come out was a thousand light cavalry. Although they were light cavalry, they also had armored parts, and they were all string control men!

Moreover, they were all used with serious combination bows, unlike black armored cavalry who had to rely on crossbows to make up for the shortcomings of shooting skills. When they saw the first wave of arrow rain was caused by the enemy, the five hundred black armored cavalry who were used to ravaging others with crossbows was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly took off the small round shield on their backs and barely protected their upper body.

The rain of arrows came in a flash. Thanks to the armor and the round shield in his hand, most of the bows and arrows were shot on the black-armored cavalry, making only a jingle sound and then bounced to the ground. Although the people were fine, the war horses were affected. Although these war horses had armor on their chests and necks, they could not be wrapped like humans and were airtight. Moreover, the Tiance Army used ejection, and many sharp arrows were stuck on the unprotected horseback and horse buttocks, severely injured the war horse.

More than a dozen war horses fell down, but more were still sprinting fearlessly, and they advanced several feet away in a blink of an eye. At the same time, they were hit by a wave of arrows again and fell over twenty more war horses. The black-armored cavalry felt extremely aggrieved. They realized that they had made a mistake. When the opponent's first wave of arrows came, they should not have a shield, but should have used a crossbow to shoot. Although their shooting skills were not as good as the other party, they were able to shoot continuously. They could definitely suppress their opponents after a wave of arrows, rather than being passively beaten like now, like the one who shrank his head and turtle.

Although I realized the mistake, there was no need to correct it. The two sides were less than twenty steps apart, and for the cavalry in the sprint, it was a blink of an eye. This means that hand-to-hand combat is about to begin.

The Tiance Qi army on the opposite side obviously had no objection, but they all put away their bows and arrows, took off their long halberds from the saddle, and rushed forward without fear.

Just when the two sides were less than ten steps away, the black-armored cavalry threw the round shields in their hands. The hovering round shield had a sharp edge, and it was so close that it would still be a certain threat to the light-armored cavalry after being thrown vigorously.

No one dared to try whether he could withstand the big iron plate flying over. Some people with quick eyes and quick hands, and they attacked like lightning, and slapped the round shield with a long halberd. But there are only a few who have such eyesight and skills. More Tiance cavalry can only bow their heads and dodge, allowing the round shields to roar over their heads.

This sudden move obviously made the formation of the Tiance Cavalry chaotic, and although it returned to normal in just a short moment, this fatal moment was enough to allow the black-armored cavalry to stab the first attack first.

Seeing that a hundred people were about to be dismissed, the black-armored cavalry couldn't help but hold the iron spear in their hands, and shouted and gave a fatal blow.

The two teams intersected in an instant, and at this moment, the black-armored cavalry was shocked to find that the opponent disappeared from the horse's back out of thin air, and the sure-fire attack was almost gone.

The Tiance Army deserves to be a long battle formation. In the critical moment, it subconsciously used a half-hidden kick, shrank and hid under the saddle, avoiding a fatal blow. Only a dozen of them were slower, either pierced or knocked off the horse and trampled into mud.

Both sides did not stop and ran for more than ten feet before turning their heads and facing each other again, preparing for the next charge.

In the first round, the black-armored cavalry suffered a great loss on the bow and arrow. If it weren't for the complete armor and the arrows and stones, they would probably not have been able to rush in front of the enemy. Fortunately, they unexpectedly threw the round shield and reversed the unfavorable situation. Although they did not end up doing anything to the Tiance Cavalry, they also recovered some losses, and at least they were considered a draw.

After a test, both sides understood the strength of each other. The Tiance Army was strong because of its skilled bow and horse, long-standing battle formations, and rich experience. The Black Armored Cavalry won the excellent equipment, first-class protection, and invincible before fighting.

Both sides believe that they have found the opponent's weakness and will be able to decide the winner next time. When they are about to activate the war horse and launch the attack with all their strength—
