Chapter 21: Gaining Momentum
With Li Ru's decision, Guo Yan did not hesitate at all, and did everything as he could.
Immediately arrange for the propaganda officer to stand in front of the large army formation, and read out the edict drafted by Shang Shutai on the Son of Heaven's crusade against the rebellious Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou in front of the two armies.
After the edict was read, the morale of Guo Yan and Fan Choujun gradually rose, and the momentum on the opposite side was like a rainbow, and it also became that the two sides were on an equal footing.
Ma Tengjun
While listening to the reading on the other side, Liu Fan's brows furrowed quickly, his eyes looked at Liu Dan, and then he turned his head and whispered a few words to Xu Huang on the side, then saw Xu Huang's expression condensed, and quickly went down to prepare.
Finally, Liu Fan glanced at Pang De, who was standing not far away, before slowly turning around. And his glance made Pang De tremble, and he contacted Liu Fan several times, but he never saw through him, and when he saw him at this moment, he was also subconsciously nervous.
Liu Fan's movements, although Ma Teng and Han Sui both saw it, they had no time to take care of it at this time. With a solemn face, Ma Teng turned his head sideways and asked Han Sui in a low voice: "Wenyue, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid I'll be cowardly before we fight!" ”
His eyes kept glancing at Liu Fan, and Han Sui didn't know what he was thinking, and after a long time, he responded in a low voice: "Don't worry, wait a minute." ”
At the same time, after Guo Yanjun on the opposite side read out the edict by the propaganda officer, the team suddenly dispersed, and two prisoner vans were swayed from behind. In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the prisoner cart.
And here, when Liu Dan saw the prisoner car, he was also stunned, and for no reason, his heart suddenly burst twice, and he subconsciously asked Liu Fan, "Brother, what are they doing?" ”
"Murder!" The tone was cold, Liu Fan squinted his eyes and looked coldly ahead, especially the scribe beside Guo Yan, who was also looking at him at this time. Through the air, the eyes of the two collided together, as if bursting into fierce sparks.
After being silent for a long time, Liu Fancai spoke again: "No matter what happens later, you have to be calm, remember, everything is with me!" ”
"Brother?" With a puzzled face, Liu Dan looked at Liu Fan strangely.
Liu Fan didn't say anything more, just looked at the other side with cold eyes. At this time, the two prisoner vans that were let out on the opposite side also slowly stopped.
When the prisoner cart stopped, the two sides came together to form a high platform, and the wooden steps around it were quickly spliced together, and two scribes in shackles stood proudly on the table. Behind the prisoners were two axemen, carrying large knives like a hill, standing silently.
On the wooden platform in the rear, the propagandist who had just read out the edict once again took out a silk silk and read it aloud: "The Son of Heaven is benevolent, and all criminals will only be punished by the first evil, and no accomplices will be punished." Today, Ma Yu and Chong Shao colluded with the rebels outside the city to intend to cholera Chang'an, which was verified by Tingwei and the evidence was conclusive! Immediately behead to set an example! ”
"It's Ma Shizhong!" At that moment, Ma Teng and Liu Dan both exclaimed.
Reaching out and grabbing Liu Fan tightly, Liu Dan's arm was trembling slightly, "Brother, are they going to kill the horse servant in the sacrifice flag?" ”
Without responding to him, Liu Fan took a deep breath, grabbed the horn and shouted: "Rebels and thieves!" The cholera court and the killing of the ministers have already caused resentment among the people of Chang'an, and people all over the world are eager to eat meat and sleep skin! Today, there are Gao Shi, Ma Jun and Chong Jun come forward to set things right, how can my sons and daughters be afraid of death! ”
Suddenly, he took out a silk edict from the placket, and Liu Fan shouted loudly again: "I am Liu Fan, the general of Zuo Zhonglang, and I am the edict of the Son of Heaven to hoe and suppress the thief!" Where is Lang Wei on the left? Kill the enemy with me! ”
When the words fell, Xu Huang, who didn't know when he would come back, directly handed the reins in his hand to Liu Fan. Taking the reins, Liu Fan didn't say a word, turned over on his horse, held the gun with one hand, and turned his head to look at Ma Teng on the side, "I am the vanguard in this battle, and I only borrow one person from the general!" ”
"Who?"
"Nan'an Pang Lingming!"
His face was slightly stunned, Ma Teng glanced at Pang De not far away, thought for a moment, and then bowed slightly. At that moment, Liu Fan directly turned his head to look at Pang De, and said, "Pang De, I haven't seen how brave you said that day. Dare to lead your troops to charge with me today! ”
"Why don't you dare!" Raising his head in an instant, Pang De raised his head with his chest straight, raised his big knife and turned on his horse, "The headquarters is out!" ”
With a shock, the elite cavalry of the first colonel who followed Pang De's southern expedition to the north quickly walked out of the military formation and stood silently and solemnly behind Pang De. Holding a big knife and hunting in a battle robe, Pang De rode his horse and came directly to Liu Fan's side, "Since Liu Zhonglang is invited, what does it matter if Pang accompanies you to kill!" ”
"Hahaha!" Raising his head and laughing loudly, Liu Fan was angry at this moment, "Let the people of the world see it today, I am Liu Bochang's soldier!" The spear pointed straight ahead, "Sons, kill with me!" ”
"Kill!!"
With a broken shout, more than a thousand cavalry charged forward directly!
There was an instant fierce shouting and killing sound on the battlefield, and Li Ru on the opposite side saw Liu Fan's reaction here, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he said in a ruthless voice: "Do it!" ”
As Li Ru spit out a word, Guo Yan also did not hesitate to order. When the knife and axe hand heard the order, he was not moved in the slightest, raised his hand and slashed down, blood splashed everywhere, and then the two heads rolled to the ground.
From beginning to end, Ma Yu and Chong Shao didn't speak, because they had been scolding since they were captured before, so they had already been gagged by Xiliang soldiers, and they didn't have the slightest strength to abuse them.
Looking coldly at Liu Fan and the others who rushed over from the opposite side, a sneer appeared at the corner of Li Ru's mouth, "Charging in battle, trying to regain momentum, the courage is not bad, it's a pity that you met me!" ”
And Liu Fan and the people in the left office, seeing Ma Yu and the others falling to the ground, they were naturally stunned, and Liu Fan also roared directly angrily: "You are a traitor, you are a traitor, you are a loyal and good, I Liu Fan and you will not die!" ”
"Kill!!"
The momentum rose again, and at this moment, the thousand-man cavalry team led by Liu Fan actually broke out with a murderous aura that shook the sky. Looking at them, Guo Yan's expression was a little solemn, although he had already led his troops out to resist in formation.
But Liu Fan's indomitable momentum still made him feel a little palpitating, this kind of murderous aura he hadn't encountered for a long time!
The big knife leaned forward, and Guo Yan yelled coldly, "Charge!" ”
In an instant, the Xiliang cavalry behind him flew out like sharp arrows off the string!
On the other side, when Liu Fan saw that they finally charged, he immediately burst into a shout and roared: "Raise the crossbow!" Shoot the arrows! ”
At the sound of an order, hundreds of Zuo Lang Wei, who rushed forward, drew their crossbows one after another, and there was a burst of fire in front of them. The two directions were running against each other, and the Xiliang army did not expect that someone would shoot a crossbow when the cavalry charged.
At that moment, the unsuspecting Xiliang cavalry were shot by crossbow arrows and fell to the ground.
For a time, a large number of Xiliang cavalry soldiers who were charging in front fell down, and there was a considerable amount of chaos in the vanguard army.
At this time, Liu Fan shouted loudly: "Follow me, don't fall behind!" ”
When the words fell, he and Xu Huang directly took the lead and turned sideways, quickly shifting to the right. And Pound, who followed along, had to turn around with him because of the military order.
As a result, the scene directly evolved into a face-to-face between Ma Teng Han Sui's coalition army and Guo Yanjun!
