Chapter Ninety-Nine: Capture the Thief and Capture the King
"The generals listen to the order, be sure to capture Liu Bang!" I said loudly, and when the barbarian king and others heard it, they immediately reacted and led the army to rush towards Liu Bang.
That Liu Bang has a large entourage, and there are more than 20 generals under him, some of whom I know, once under the camp of the eldest brother Xiang Yu, and then rebelled against Liu Bang under the embattled situation. I only felt that my whole body was boiling, and I rushed into the chaos of the army, and Tuo Sima Jin was thoughtful.
When those people saw me, they were ashamed, but they still fought me. One of them, armed with a spear, stabbed me, which I grabbed with one hand and stabbed him in the throat with the other. The gun was stained with blood, and he fell to the ground. The other two men stabbed at me from the left and right with halberds in their hands, and I put my guns horizontally, held the two halberds, and with a wave of my arms, the two of them fell to the ground. The two of them got up from the ground, and they were already being pointed at by my spear, and they didn't dare to move. I sighed, remembering that there was some kindness in the past, and the surrender of the two was also a helpless move, and today Quan Dang's grace was cut off, so he said: "You guys go, I don't want to kill you." The two thanked each other, turned around and were about to leave, but were pierced through the chest by two arrows, and immediately died.
I turned my head and saw that there was a man riding a horse not far away, holding a yellow wooden bow in his hand, and when he saw me looking at him, he suddenly sneered: "If anyone dares to flee on the battlefield, they will be killed!" "Guan Hanquan, I was about to look for you, but you sent it to the door yourself. Brothers, my Han Emperor has an order, and whoever takes the head of Lord Luo Guan Han will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold! ”
Before he could finish speaking, ten horsemen rushed towards me. It was too late, it was too fast, and a person fell from the sky, holding a huge axe, the axe was facing down, and smashed straight down from the air, and instantly smashed out a big pit, and the ensuing waves of air actually overturned the ten horsemen and horses to the ground.
The man straightened his back and pulled the axe out of the earth, and it was the barbarian king. He picked up the axe high and roared, "Whoever dares to take a step forward, I will make him beheaded!" As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and the ten generals of the Han Dynasty were all afraid, and they ran backwards with a rolling belt. Liu Bang's face turned blue and he scolded loudly, but he couldn't stop them.
At this time, he suddenly struck out and stabbed at the barbarian king with a purple and green sword, and the barbarian king slashed at him with an axe, and he dodged it. The barbarian king snorted coldly, turned the axe, and cut the man's war horse into two with an axe, and the man fell to the ground, injured not lightly, and vomited several mouthfuls of blood.
The barbarian king was about to kill him, but I stopped him, and I recognized him as one of the "Four Expedition Generals" under Liu Bang, and he was not a nobody, so I ordered someone to tie him up with a rope. Who knew that he laughed and said, "What's the use of catching me?" The Lord's security is much more important than I am! "When I raised my head, I realized that Liu Bang had long since disappeared, and while I had just worked, Liu Bang had led the generals to fight out of the encirclement.
I secretly said "not good", and hurriedly rode to chase, but was stopped by three people, whose armor was very similar to that of the person just now, presumably the other three of the "Four Expedition Generals". I couldn't help but feel a little flustered in my heart, not because I was worried about losing to the three of them, but because fighting with the three of them would inevitably take a lot of physical strength and time, and it would be even more difficult to catch Liu Bang at that time.
I gritted my teeth and raised my gun, intending to fight the three men. At that moment, I heard a "whoosh" and an arrow flew over my head, sending one of the three people flying, and the man was taken by surprise, and the arrow knocked off his helmet in a terrible way.
The sound of horses' hooves came from behind me, followed by a loud voice: "Lord, the minister is late for rescue, please forgive me!" I turned my head to look, but it was General Qin Wen and the two generals Xu Fang and Lu Liang, I clapped my hands and said, "General Qin came at the right time, and help me stop these three people." Qin Wen praised: "The ministers will definitely behead these three people under the horse!" After saying that, he took a cooked copper rod and struck one of the three people. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I quickly bypassed the three of them to chase Liu Bang.
After walking about 20 meters, you can see several rows of horseshoe prints on the ground from a distance. I followed the horse's hoof prints, waving my whip constantly, and finally I could see some figures, but there was always a little distance, and I couldn't help but feel anxious, but helpless.
At this moment, the figure in front of me actually disappeared, and I panicked: Could it be that Liu Bang has the ability to change shapes and shadows? At that moment, there was a neighing of horses in front of me, and I patted the horse's back and chased the horse towards the source of the sound. As soon as I chased about 20 steps, I saw a pit on the ground, with a radius of more than two meters, which should have been dug manually, I turned over and dismounted, stood next to the pit, and looked inside, but only saw that there was a red horse inside, with multiple blood holes on its body, and it was dead. I was a little disappointed, but it suddenly occurred to me that this horse seemed to be Liu Bang's mount, Liu Bang lost his horse, and he rode a horse with his generals, and he should not be able to run far.
Thinking of this, I turned on my horse and looked forward, and there were several rows of horses' hoof prints faintly on the ground, and it seemed that I had fled in a southeasterly direction. "Drive!" I waved my whip, grabbed the leash, and chased the horse southeast as fast as I could.
I followed the horseshoe prints until I reached a hill where the horseshoe prints were gone. I reined in my horse and looked forward, and saw that the road ahead was full of rocks, and it was extremely difficult to walk, and if the horse did not have a horseshoe, it was very easy to be cut by sharp stones. "Could it be a fraud?" The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, "Southeast, Southeast......" "How could Liu Bang run to the southeast!" ”
"Oops!" I couldn't help but be shocked in my heart, at this time, "boom, boom", rolling stones fell from the mountain, I turned the horse's head, but it was too late, and the back road had been blocked by boulders.
"Hahaha, Guan Hanquan, I didn't expect it, we would set up an ambush here." I looked up and saw fifteen people standing on the top of the mountain, all of them were Liu Bang's first-class personal guards, all dressed in the same attire, holding a fine iron sword, wearing fire bronze armor, wearing a dust-free helmet, and the age was about twenty-five years old.
"Don't get complacent too early, it's not yet known who will kill the deer!" I said aloud, a hand already in my pocket.
"Hmph, next year, today will be your sacrifice day!" Fifteen men said in unison, and the sword was unsheathed and rushed towards me.
I stepped lightly on my horse's back and flew up the hill, and fifteen people chased after me, but they could not catch up with me, and I was panting tiredly. Running to a flat area in the mountains, I stopped. When fifteen people saw me stop suddenly, they couldn't help but wonder: "Why don't you run away?" I just smiled indifferently: "It's not good to show your skills, it's best to make a break here." ”
One of the short-bearded men said, "Hmph, just you, can beat fifteen of us together?" I smiled slightly, "Then try it!" Before he could finish his life, a snowflake dart had already been shot, but the man didn't know it, and another guard pushed him, but the snowflake dart still knocked his helmet off.
He was taken aback and said: "What kind of hero is a hidden weapon that hurts people." I held my gun at them and said loudly, "Are you a hero if you are outnumbered?" ”
At this time, one of the older people said: "Greedy wolf, don't talk so much nonsense with him, my emperor has an order, take Guan Han's head, and reward 10,000 taels of gold." As soon as these words came out, fifteen people shouted and attacked me together. I sneered, holding four snowflake darts in my left hand and struck them with all my might, when even four of them fell to the ground.
"Long wind, loyal soul, lonely ghost, grizzly bear!" The remaining eleven people screamed and lifted the four up, but they were already dying, and they vomited blood and died without saying a few words. The greedy wolf pulled out the snowflake dart on the four of them, slammed them on the ground, and shouted: "Guan Hanquan, I want you to pay back your blood debt." ”
I sighed softly, completely impersonal, and said, "Three, two, one, pour!" As soon as the words fell, the greedy wolf's legs weakened and he fell to his knees, if he hadn't supported it with his sword, he would probably have fallen to the ground. Greedy wolf! Greedy wolf! The other ten shouted worriedly and surrounded him. He shook his head and said loudly: "Leave me alone, avenge my brothers!" ”
The remaining ten wiped their tears and stabbed at me with their swords, and I pushed my gun horizontally, against the three swords, and kicked the three to the ground with a "sweeping leg". At this time, the older one, codenamed "Shadow", stabbed me in the back of the heart with a sword. I was already on guard, holding the sword of the other six with my right hand and his sword with my left hand.
I struggled with the seven men, and at this point, the three people I had just kicked down all stood up and stabbed at me together. I secretly said "not good", and my left hand hurriedly pushed the shadow with the sword out, the gun retreated, and a "harrier turned over" dodged nine swords.
The nine people put away their swords at the same time and said, "I will wait for the nine people to go together, and I will definitely take your head!" I turned my gun across and said, "Come here!" Nine people shouted "kill" and stabbed at me again, I held the gun in both hands, and swept the head of the gun with a move of "Qiankun One Throw", and the nine people resisted with guns, and retreated several steps back, sweating all of them. At this time, one of them said loudly: "Array! "The nine people immediately understood and surrounded me heavily, with three people in the inner layer and six people in the outer layer, crossing and attacking me. For a time, the sword moves changed many times, and the figures and positions of the nine people also changed, and the order of the moves was different, which made people unguardable. I blocked left and right, but I still suffered some injuries, but fortunately it only hurt my flesh and skin, not my muscles and bones, otherwise it would have been bad.
My nerves tensed, my consciousness was a little blurred, and the parrying movement slowed down, and before I knew it, I was stabbed in the back, and this sword passed through my left shoulder, and the pain immediately spread all over my body, and I woke up.
I gritted my teeth, grabbed the sword, pulled it out, and kicked the man with the sword down with another "roundhouse kick", which was so heavy that in revenge for the sword, I kicked the man off the neck and died without even a sound.
As soon as this person died, the formation was chaotic, I put the gun upright, stood beside me, and put some hemostatic medicine on my left shoulder with my right hand, which simply stopped the bleeding. The remaining eight people watched from the sidelines, and no one dared to take the lead. I looked up and roared, "Are you still stopping me?" The eight people were silent, and suddenly, one of them said: "Until now, I have to fight for my life to repay the kindness of the Han Emperor!" Eight people stabbed at me with swords again, I took a step back, pulled out the blood cold knife with my right hand, and said with a sneer: "The knife is out of the sheath, and it can't be recovered without splashing blood!" ”
The Blood Cold Knife exuded a cold aura that startled all eight of them, but it still rushed towards me. I held a knife in my right hand and slashed at the ground, and a wave of sand struck the eight men. The eight of them covered their faces with their hands, so that the sand did not enter their eyes, mouths and noses. At this time, two fast footers had run in front of me, slashed at me with their swords, I used a knife, the cold air seeped into the whole body of the two people along the sword, the two of them shivered again and again, the sword could not hold steadily, I swept the left foot, swept the two to the ground.
At this time, the six people behind me also surrounded me and stabbed me indiscriminately, but I just used my body to dodge all the attacks. The six of them were angry and stabbed at me together. I leapt into the air, and six swords stabbed together. With swords in both hands, I fell from the sky, severing all the swords in the hands of the six men, and all six of them fell to the ground. I lifted my knife and looked around, only to see that the faces of the six people were bloodless, and said: "The sword is in the people, and the sword is dead!" As soon as the words fell, they all killed themselves with broken swords.
I sighed and looked around, and eleven of the fifteen had died, and the rest were in a coma except for the greedy wolf, and their lives and deaths were unknown. I lifted my gun, put my knife back into its sheath, and walked over to the greedy wolf, who glared at me and said, "Kill me, I don't want to live!" I smiled dismally and said, "You don't want to live anymore, but you still have three brothers, don't you care if they live or die?" The greedy wolf was stunned, I didn't care about him, walked down the mountain, and said: "You are just poisoned, the medicine will pass in a few hours, what to do in the future, it's your business!" ”
I got back on my horse and looked over the boulder of the road to find some gap, but to my disappointment, there was no space at all. I sighed, dismounted and walked over to the boulder, and looked at the boulder structure, which was a piece of granite, which was relatively hard among the rocks, and it was huge, and it blocked the mountain pass tightly, not to mention the weight, and ten people could not move it. I raised my gun and stabbed the boulder, and to my surprise, the boulder had a hole in it. But if you continue like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out until dark. When I think about it, I can't help but feel a little lost.
As the minutes passed, I finally had some clue, each stone has its own point of force, Archimedes once said: "Give me a lever, I can pry up the whole earth." "It's an exaggeration, but it's theoretically achievable. Thinking of this, I decided to find out where the force point of this stone is, I looked around the boulder, and finally found it, the force point is the lower left of the boulder, I bent down, dug a pit in the ground below the left of the boulder, stretched out to the gun, and happened to be stuck there, I took out the blood cold knife, dug a hole of more than half a meter under the barrel of the gun, jumped into the hole and dug back, dug out a tunnel, piled up the surrounding soil under the gun shaft, and mixed some stones in the soil to ensure its hardness, I was supported by the earth and the ground below, and my hands were on the barrel of the gun, but at first there was no movement, but after I slowly increased the force, the boulder loosened a little, and slowly lifted up, and when it was lifted to a certain height, it rolled forward on its own, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I looked at the way the boulder rolled. I rolled over and got on my horse, and I got out of the mountain pass.
"I came in the southeast direction, so now I should go in the northwest direction." I thought, adjusted my horse's head, and ran in the direction of the west gate. After running for about an hour, I suddenly felt a little hungry, and I happened to pass by a house, so I wanted to go in and ask for a bowl of rice. I led the horse under the tree and tied the leash around the waist of the tree so that it could eat the grass around it and not run around. I put my gun on my horse, walked to the farmhouse, and knocked on the door. "Is there anyone in there?" I asked tentatively, but I didn't respond for a long time. I pushed the door open, and there was no one inside. I walked in and saw that there was a fire burning on it, and there was a pot on the fire, and there seemed to be rice in the pot. I picked up the lid of the pot, a hot breath came to my face, I took a few steps back, and saw clearly that it was a pot of rice, and there happened to be a bowl of chopsticks next to it, so I filled a bowl, I looked around, and found a jar of pickles in the southeast corner, so I also filled some for dinner. I ate three bowls of rice in a row, and finally I was full, and there was still half a pot of rice left in the pot, so I closed the lid of the pot, turned the goods down a bit, left two strings of money on the table, and walked out, and closed the door by the way.
At this time, I saw a child, about eight or nine years old, untie my horse from a tree and seemed to want to steal my horse. He turned his back to me, unaware of my presence. I was not angry, silently walked over, patted him on the shoulder, who knew that he suddenly turned around, a dagger stabbed at me, I smiled indifferently, held her wrist with my right hand, snatched the dagger, and said, "Children don't play with such dangerous things." ”
He lost his dagger, sat down on the ground at once, and cried, "I just want to save my father, uncle, and you can lend me the horse." "Your father?" I was a little confused, "Hmm. He whimpered and told me what had happened. His father was injured in the army at an early age and was able to do light work, and his mother died of illness a few years ago. In the past two years, the two countries have gone to war, and life has become even more difficult. A few hours ago, a group of scattered Han soldiers suddenly came to his house, and his father took out the few catties of rice in the family and steamed some rice, begging to spare himself and his son. The father knew that the Han soldiers would not let go of the father and son easily, so he quietly let his son hide under the bed and told him not to come out. Sure enough, after the meal was full, the Han soldiers immediately changed their hexagram and escorted their father away, trying to find a place where no one was around. My son witnessed all this under the bed, and when the soldiers were gone, he ran out and saw me, and out of nowhere did he get the courage to steal a horse to save his father.
After listening to his explanation, I suddenly frowned and asked, "In which direction did they go?" The boy stopped sobbing and said, "Northwest." There's a place called Black Wind Outlet over there, which is uninhabited. I got on my horse, pulled him up, and said, "Sit tight!" So he hastened his horse in that direction.
The horse's hooves were so fast that they rushed to that place without a single stick of incense, but it was too late, and the boy's father was already lying in a pool of blood, his chest was still oozing blood, and there were many bruises and scars on his body. The boy jumped off his horse and ran to his father's side, shaking his hand vigorously in the hope that he would wake up. I squatted down and tested his breath, and found that he still had a breath, and I flattened his sleeve to test his pulse, only to find that he had a knife carved on his arm with the word "Luo", which was dark red in color, and it should have existed for a long time. I was taken aback, remembering that the boy said that his father had joined the army, and the soldier with the word "Luo" engraved on his arm was only the thirty guards under Zhao Meng back then, and this person was one of those people who desperately escorted Zhao Meng back back then.
I gave him a Ninety-Nine Soul Rejuvenation Pill, pressed his heart, and stopped the bleeding with a cloth strip for him, he finally came to his senses, and when he saw me, he actually had a look, coughed several times, and said with pain: "Your Majesty, you go quickly, there is an ambush here!" As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow came at me, and I reached out to grab it, but another one came from behind me. At that moment, he suddenly pushed me away, blocking the arrow, which pierced through his chest, and was hopeless. He smiled miserably: "In my lifetime, I can do something for the emperor again, I will die without regrets, but I ask the emperor for one thing, I hope you can agree......" I nodded and said: "If you say anything, I will help you do it." He glanced at the boy and said, "Take care of him." The boy ran to his father's side, crying into tears, he stretched out his trembling hand, stroked the boy's head, and said with the last bit of strength: "Son, don't be sad, die for the country, it's worth it, always remember, ......" Before he finished his words, he swallowed his breath, but his eyes were still on the boy. The boy closed his eyes for his father and whispered, "Serve the country with loyalty!" ”
