Chapter 72
The defenders on the tower of Wanshan City have long been in chaos, all because Ban Pinren sent people to pretend to be deserters from Shiyabi and Long Spitting Water, creating chaos and disturbing the morale of the army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Feng Huwen led the Black Axe Knights to kill the city without much effort, and the cavalry array like a black wave was enough to make the defenders of the city frightened. There were countless people who threw away their armor and fled, but Feng Huwen rushed all the way into the palace. The search for the prince's traces was unsuccessful, so he immediately led people to chase along the road.
It turned out that Ban Pinren and Feng Huwen teamed up to sing a bitter plan, and Ban Pinren pretended to be defeated and retreated, causing panic among the defenders in the three dangers of Wanshan Road. The terrain in the mountains had already been secretly drawn by Ban Pinren, and Feng Huwen naturally killed all the way unimpeded. This plan has turned the dangerous mountain road, which is like an iron wall, into a full decoration, and also made the five princes and the seventh princes, who thought they could sit back and relax with the help of the terrain, to eat the consequences.
Besides, the three princes, under the protection of Ban Pinren and Jiang Yiping, retreated into the mountains behind Wanshan City. The terrain here is also very complex, with hundreds of caves, large and small.
"Three princes, go slowly, listen to me." Ban Pinren caught up with the crowd walking in front and continued: "Now that Feng Huwen has entered Wanshan City, he will inevitably look for the whereabouts of several princes, and once he learns that we have fled, he will inevitably lead his army to chase after him. So many of us get together and the goal is too big, if we are found, it is still a dead end. Therefore, I suggest that the three princes take different routes separately, although there will be sacrifices, but it will also increase the chance of survival to the maximum. It's all up to providence. ”
At this time, it had reached the point of exhaustion, and the three princes were all in shock, where could they still make a calm judgment, so they had to nod in agreement.
Under the protection of Ban Pinren and Jiang Yiping, Zheng Puming fled for another four or five miles, and everyone gathered around an ancient pine tree halfway up the mountain to rest. Jiang Yiping secretly came to Ban Pinren's side and whispered: "The military advisor and the lord will wait here for a while, and I will take someone back to kill the fifth prince and the seventh prince, and then come back to meet you." ”
Ban Pinren signaled him not to go with a stern look, reached out and grabbed his cuffs, let him sit on a bluestone beside him, and persuaded: "Why is Brother Jiang so stupid? Even if the five princes and the seventh prince have a thousand mistakes, they are also the brothers. It's a great accomplishment for you to turn back and kill them. But if the lord knows that his two royal brothers died at your hands, will you still be able to gain a foothold in this group of people in the future? Even if the lord is magnanimous, this group of people under him will no longer tolerate you. Think for yourself. ”
Jiang Yiping was like being drunk, "Oh, I was greedy for merit for a while, thanks to the guidance of the military advisor, otherwise I would have almost caused a big disaster." Then he asked, "But, is it just to let go of the fifth prince and the seventh prince?" ”
At this time, a slightly cool breeze blew in the mountains, Ban Pinren closed his eyes and enjoyed the short-term refreshment, slightly poking out the tip of his nose to inhale a little of the smell of mountain soil, "Don't worry, this will General Feng Huwen should have already cut off the heads of those two." ”
The next day, inside the palace of Wanshan City.
Zheng Puming sat high on the throne of the city lord, and his eyes were fixed on Feng Huwen, who was kneeling on one knee in front of the palace. What he cared about was not Feng Huwen himself, but the heads of the two imperial brothers presented in front of Feng Hu's tattoo.
"Under Feng Tiger Stripe, the head of the Black Axe Knights. Thanks to the persuasion of the military division, he was willing to be a pawn by the side of the lord and let him be sent. ”
Feng Huwen said something, but Zheng Puming was stunned and indifferent. Ban Pinren on the side hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "It is said that there are no fathers and sons in the army, and there are no brothers on the battlefield." Although the lord lost two imperial brothers, he gained a general like General Feng. Now that Wanshan Dao is firmly in the hands of the lord, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Black Axe Knights have also surrendered, don't let down the people of the world for the sake of brotherhood! ”
Zheng Puming stared at the human head on the ground expressionlessly, but his heart was dripping blood. In the past, when he was young, he was so harmonious with the other six royal brothers. But now that it has become such an ending, he can't help but sigh at how fast the personnel changes and how ruthless the edge of time is.
A messenger happened to come from outside the temple and saluted, "Report! News came from the imperial capital that the eldest prince Zheng Jueming had sent General Deng Mianhao to lead an army of 200,000 to kill here, and it was estimated that it would arrive in three days. ”
Everyone present looked at each other after hearing this, only Ban Pinren stood up, "Don't panic everyone!" Listen to me. Although he has 200,000 troops, we also have more than 100,000 soldiers here. And we have just taken Wanshan Road, and we have already taken advantage of the location. Now there is nothing to be afraid of at all. ”
Feng Huwen got up and hugged his fists and said, "Feng is willing to lead all the soldiers of the Black Axe Knights to fight." If you don't cut off Deng Mianhao's head, you vow not to return to the city! ”
The old subordinates of Zheng Puming around them also expressed their determination, including Huo Yiben, and the hall became extremely lively for a while.
Ban Pinren shook his head and said: "Don't be impatient, everyone, General Feng's intentions are obvious to all, but this battle still has to wronged the general, and I can't let you show up for the time being." ”
Feng Huwen already had a little anger on his face, "Could it be that the military advisor still can't trust Feng?" ”
"Ah, General Feng, don't get me wrong, I say this for the sake of your safety and that of your family. Now there is news outside that the general has broken the second prince and captured Wanshan City. If it reaches the ears of the eldest prince, the life of the general's family can be saved, and we can rest assured. Of course, I also thought about letting the general go out of the city to meet Deng Mianhao and trick him into the city to capture him. But in this way, if one of Deng Mianhao's troops fled back to the imperial capital to report the news, the general's family would still be implicated. Therefore, in this battle, we can't rely on the power of the general, let alone use a single soldier of the Black Axe Knights. ”
Feng Huwen was silent for a while, and only after the anger in his heart turned calm did he ask worriedly: "But the other party has an army of 200,000, and you only have 30,000 or 20,000 militiamen, how can this be possible?" ”
Ban Pinren said with a smile: "I have already told the general before, if you want to protect the life of the general's family, you must first occupy Wanshan Road. Now that our side has taken advantage of the territory, let alone 200,000 soldiers, even if there are 2 million, it will be useless to get here. I only need this piece of land between the stone tooth wall and the dragon's spit water to destroy the enemy. ”
Since ancient times, there has been such a saying among the people: "The sword of Yinchang is like a forest, and the sword of the angry sea is like a wave." The trace is hidden in history, don't ask about your body and name. "It's said that there are more swordsmen and swordsmen in the two places of Yinchang and Angry Sea.
Deng Mianhao is a man of the Angry Sea, and he was originally adrift as a swordsman. Later, it became famous after a life-and-death duel between outlaws. He killed bandits, officials and soldiers, and when he was short of money to spend, he would go to a wealthy merchant to work as a bodyguard for several months. But he will live with his life tied to the tip of a knife like this, not to soar to fame, but to forget a woman he once loved deeply.
At that time, the first emperor was already the overlord of the annexation of the Nine Kingdoms, and naturally followed several skilled swordsmen by his side, and one of them was called Hu Lieshan, who was the most powerful. This Hu Lieshan is also from the angry sea, and he is good at holding the simple knife with both hands, and the knife is as fierce as a tiger, which is difficult for ordinary people to parry. His men were as strong as his sword, and when he was angry, the nine oxen could not hold it.
The cause of the incident was that Hu Lieshan and a group of swordsmen went to the restaurant in the city to drink, and because they were greedy for a few more glasses of drunkenness, they lost their temper and scolded the guests at the next table, and the guests at the next table were Deng Mianhao. In this narrow restaurant, the two swordsmen quarreled from red-faced and red-eared to the point where they had to draw their knives to fight for life and death.
When the first emperor rushed to the restaurant accompanied by his servants, Hu Lieshan had already died under Deng Mianhao's knife. A group of swordsmen were about to kill him to take revenge, but they were repelled by the first emperor. In the depths of his heart, there was a voice that kept reminding the first emperor, "This swordsman is extraordinary! There will be great things to do in the future. ”
His voice was finally fulfilled, and Deng Mianhao made many miraculous achievements in less than a year after following his ancestors. He went to Mengchuan and beheaded the Qingju general Yuan Xiong under his horse with six swords; After the fog sounded, thirteen knives cut off the head of the Shangguan Duan, the city lord of the fog sound; When he arrived at Longpo, he took the lives of his mountain ghost brothers Gong Fu and Gong Fu with twenty-seven knives. Since then, it has been famous all over the world, and has the honorific title of the Angry Sea Sword King. During this period, although there were also swordsmen with outstanding skills who challenged him, none of them could take ten swords from him.
After the founding of the Cangdong Tiger Kingdom, the ancestors rewarded Deng Mianhao with a rare soul stone, which was a bright metal light soul stone that had been identified by the soul stone craftsman. This made Deng Mianhao's strength go further and become a well-deserved first general of the Tiger Kingdom.
Deng Mianhao has three henchmen, namely the sharpshooter general Bai Renpeng, the red-haired general Liu Yichong, and the multi-faceted general Lu Liang. These three are also soul tattooers, and each has a force. This time they were ordered to go on an expedition, and they also followed.
"I heard that Feng Huwen's Black Axe Knights have taken Wanshan City, it seems that we are still a step late." It was Liu Yichong who spoke, wearing a lion's mane of red hair, which was integrated with the fine beard on his chin, wearing a pair of black beast-faced battle armor, and a pair of golden front teeth in his mouth when he spoke.
Lu Liangdao, who was on the side, said: "I think the intelligence officers under Brother Liu should also be replaced." The efficiency is really poor, okay. My subordinates have already received the latest news, the remnants of the second prince have not been eradicated, and they have gathered to bite Feng Huwen back, and now they have occupied the mountains between the stone tooth wall and the dragon spitting water, and are preparing to attack Wanshan City! ”
A hint of joy flashed in Bai Renpeng's eyes, and he looked at Deng Mianhao and said, "Great, General, we rushed to form a two-sided attack with General Feng at this time." As long as these chaotic parties are cleared, the world will be the prince, and we can also add officials to the knighthood. ”
Deng Mianhao was wearing gold armor and carrying a red robe, and a gold-handled dragon head knife hung on the side of the horse's belly. He grabbed the reins and stopped the horse, looked at the stone tooth wall at the end of his sight, and said, "Take Wanshan Dao, and we will kill Feng Huwen together." ”
