Volume 2 The Family Chapter 63 The Fall of Yingzhou
With a sharp look in his eyes, Zhu Chuba squatted down violently to avoid the frost dragon's beat, shook his long sword, and attacked Lu Hanqing three ways.
People who use guns are not used to being close because the length of their weapons is superior. Especially like Zhu Chuba at this moment, the long sword attacked Lu Hanqing's legs like a wheel, and he didn't give the slightest respite.
Lu Hanqing had no choice but to retreat again and again, looking for an opportunity. However, Zhu Chuba's squatting momentum kept approaching, and no matter how Lu Hanqing retreated, he kept pressing, causing Lu Hanqing to find no chance to get out.
There was no way, Lu Hanqing had no choice but to jump on the spot, jumped up, and drew an arc in mid-air, intending to jump behind Zhu Chuba. But this move is really a strategy, when he jumps up, his body is completely exposed in front of Zhu Chuba. When a person is in the air, he cannot change direction if he cannot borrow strength. If Zhu Chuba stabbed him with a sword at this time, then he would be in danger.
Zhu Chuba, of course, would not let go of this fatal flaw, quickly got up, raised his sword and pointed straight at the sky, just as Lu Hanqing's back turned to the ground, the long sword pierced the backbone mercilessly. If this sword is stabbed, then even if Lu Hanqing does not die, he can only spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
This time it's just a competition, and neither side wants to really hurt the other. It stands to reason that when Zhu Chuba's sword is about to be acquired, he will immediately withdraw the sword so as not to hurt Lu Hanqing. But Zhu Chuba didn't do this, and the momentum of the long sword was not reduced, but even worse. It was not that Zhu Chuba didn't care about Lu Hanqing's life or death, but his afterglow swept to the frost dragon spear that Lu Hanqing was holding tightly, and the body of the spear swept to his back, just blocking Zhu Chuba's thunderous sword in the way.
Zhu Chuba's sword did not succeed, but because Lu Hanqing was behind the force, the force was insufficient, although Zhu Chuba's long sword was missed, it still scratched Lu Hanqing's arm. In an instant, the blood flashed, but the movements of the two people on the field did not stop at all because of this bit of blood.
Lu Hanqing landed smoothly, and the next moment was a fierce counterattack. Zhu Chuba didn't dare to stop at all, and turned around and retreated without hesitation. But Lu Hanqing was unforgiving, and the frost dragon spear kept approaching Zhu Chuba. But Zhu Chuba's long sword is different from the frost dragon spear, he is not afraid of close attacks.
With his body slightly on the side, Zhu Chuba's long sword slapped at the frost dragon spear, allowing it to stab past his side, and then his left hand quickly turned to the body of the frost dragon spear, and the long sword slid down the 10,000-year-old ebony.
Lu Hanqing's frost dragon spear couldn't get rid of Zhu Chuba's hand, and he watched Zhu Chuba's long sword get closer and closer, if he didn't move, he would have to wait for the end of the long sword cutting his throat.
Immediately decided, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, Lu Hanqing suddenly let go of the hand holding the frost dragon spear, abandoned the gun and retreated, but he could avoid this deadly sword.
However, how many rounds can Lu Hanqing, who lost his weapon, survive under Zhu Chuba's long sword?
The answer is obvious, after a few rounds of dodging, Zhu Chuba's long sword finally hit Lu Hanqing's neck.
"I conceded."
The outcome has been decided, and Zhu Chuba looked at Lu Hanqing with a confident smile on his face.
Lu Hanqing lowered his hands dejectedly and gave up resistance. said with a wry smile: "After all, the eighth brother is still a step ahead, Han Qing admires and is convinced." ”
Zhu Chuba shook his head and said: "Brother Hanqing doesn't have to be arrogant, my long sword is better than dexterity, but on the battlefield, Brother Hanqing's open-ended marksmanship is more popular than mine, and when a shot sweeps, a row of enemies falls to the ground." ”
Lu Hanqing smiled with relief, took a few steps back, bowed and said, "I lost." ”
Zhu Chuba also bowed back and said, "Accept." ”
At this moment, the soldiers in the audience were completely boiling, and the cheers resounded throughout the barracks.
It's really a wonderful exchange, and the tricks between you and me are fatal, and it's dizzying to watch.
After the soldiers quieted down, the audience suddenly remembered an appreciative voice: "Okay, good... It seems that in the past few years since you left as a teacher, your hard work has not fallen. Not bad, not bad, really good. ”
When Zhu Chuba heard this familiar voice, he turned his head suddenly, his face full of surprise.
Seeing that familiar face, Zhu Chuba walked quickly out of the ring, walked to the man's side and immediately knelt down and shouted: "Master, when did you come, why didn't you send someone to inform the apprentice, the apprentice will go to greet you in person." ”
It's Li Xunlong. He came to tell Han Yu with the news that Badulu was about to lead the army to Jiangbei to quell the rebellion, but he didn't want Zhu Chuba to know this information and inform Han Yu. Hearing from Han Yu that the apprentice was fighting with others in the barracks, Li Xunlong wanted to see if this good apprentice's kung fu had regressed. Just in time for the competition between Zhu Chuba and Lu Hanqing, Zhu Chuba's performance certainly made him feel very satisfied.
Li Xunlong helped Zhu Chuba up, and said with a smile: "The teacher has just arrived, I heard that you are competing here, so I came to see it, and I really didn't disappoint the teacher." ”
Zhu Chuba got up and smiled innocently. It is only by the side of his master Li Xunlong that Zhu Chuba will show his dependent side.
"Oh yes..."Li Xunlong turned sideways, let the handsome young man who had been standing since he was born, and said: "Let the master introduce to you, this is Ye Yingxian, the son of our White Lotus Sect Chief Helmsman, this time he was entrusted by the Chief Helmsman to bring him to serve in the Red Turban Army, which can be regarded as a training experience on the battlefield." ”
Zhu Chuba's eyes froze, and he politely arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be the young helmsman, and the eighth year of the first month was rude." ”
According to the etiquette of the White Lotus Sect, as Zhu Chuba, when he saw the young helmsman, he had to salute and say hello. But this is the barracks of the Red Turban Army, and Zhu Chuba is the marching general of the Red Turban Army, if his soldiers see him so respectful to a young man who has never been masked, it may affect his prestige in the army, so he just politely greets.
Ye Yingxian looked like a young man, smiled and replied: "General Zhu is polite, my father asked me to come to the army for training this time, and in the future, I will be General Zhu's subordinates, and I hope to take care of me." ”
Zhu Chuba nodded with a smile and said, "This is natural. ”
Ye Yingxian said with a smile: "I have heard that Li Xunlong has accepted an excellent disciple, and he has won the true inheritance of Uncle Li with all his martial arts. ”
Zhu Chuba said modestly: "The young helmsman has won the award, and it is all the master and his old man who has taught him well. ”
Ye Yingxian's eyes flashed with battle intent, and he said: "I heard that a rule has been set in today's competition, that is, the soldiers watching the battle in the audience have the opportunity to challenge this victor, and if they can win, they will be immediately crowned as General Wanfu?" ”
Zhu Chuba's eyes flashed, and he nodded solemnly and said, "There is indeed this rule." ”
Ye Yingxian laughed and said: "That's right, when I first arrived, since I want to gain a foothold in the army, I have to let the soldiers see my ability." Why don't you let me challenge you as the winner, I don't know if I can? ”
Zhu Chuba hesitated for a moment, and his inquiring eyes fell on his master Li Xunlong. Ye Yingxian is the young helmsman of the White Lotus Sect, and the sword has no eyes on the test field, if he hurts him, he is not afraid, but he is afraid that the master will make the chief helmsman hold a grudge.
Li Xunlong glanced deeply at Ye Yingxian, who was smiling, and nodded towards Zhu Chuba.
Getting the master's permission was also requested by Ye Yingxian himself, Zhu Chuba had no reason to refuse, so he nodded and agreed: "I don't dare to ask for it." I have heard that the young helmsman is alone in the world with iron fan kung fu, and today I came to learn and lead the lesson. ”
At this time, Zhang Ying, who had been watching for a long time, couldn't stay idle, and said: "The eighth brother has just experienced a big war, and his energy has been consumed a lot, so it would be too unfair to fight with you again at this moment." ”
Suddenly being stopped by someone speaking, Ye Yingxian frowned slightly, and felt a little unhappy in his heart. But when I turned my head, all the unhappiness disappeared in an instant, and all that was left was full of amazement.
"What a heroic woman." Ye Yingxian looked at Zhang Ying's pretty face and secretly praised it in his heart.
Undisguised from the amazement in his heart, Ye Yingxian glanced at Zhang Ying up and down, and said, "Then I don't know how the girl thinks it is suitable?" ”
Zhang Ying was disgusted by Ye Yingxian's naked eyes, and shouted: "It's better to let me fight with you, no matter whether you win or lose, so that the eighth brother can rest for a while." ”
Li Xunlong looked at the woman who suddenly appeared, and couldn't help frowning and asked Zhu Chuba, "Who is this?" ”
Zhu Chuba hurriedly pulled Zhang Ying to his side and reprimanded: "Ying'er, don't mess around." ”
Then he looked at Li Xunlong and replied: "This is the sister of Marshal Zhang Shicheng of the friendly army, Miss Zhang Ying." ”
Li Xunlong suddenly said: "It turned out to be Marshal Zhang Shicheng's sister, and the old man was rude." But this battle is an internal matter of my Red Turban Army, and Miss Zhang Ying rashly intervened, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”
Because of Zhu Chuba, Zhang Ying has almost regarded the Red Turban Army as her second home, and now when she hears Li Xunlong say this, where is she willing to give up, even if she wants to argue, she is only stopped by Zhu Chuba again.
"The master is right, you still don't want to get involved in today's affairs."
Zhang Ying looked at Zhu Chuba's stern reprimand, a mist appeared in her eyes, and she stomped her feet aggrievedly and walked aside.
Zhu Chuba looked at Zhang Ying's back and left in a bad mood, and felt guilty in his heart, after all, Ying'er's sister was also good for him.
Ye Yingxian also shook his head with regret on his face, and said, "Brother Zhu is reckless, how can such a good girl be willing to be scolded so much." ”
Zhu Chuba looked at Ye Yingxian's eyes staring at Zhang Ying, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, snorted lightly, took the lead in the ring, and said to Ye Yingxian: "Please." ”
Ye Yingxian retracted his gaze, slowly walked into the ring, and after standing still, he took out an iron fan from his back, unfolded it, and said, "Brother Zhu, please advise." ”
......
A few days before Zhu Chuba left Yingzhou City......
At the junction of Henan Jiangbei Province and Huguang Province, there is a place called Wuchang Road, where the waterway is developed and it is also a rich place. Moreover, this Wuchang Road is the closest place to Yingzhou City in Huguang Province.
The weather in Huguang Province is good today, the sun is not big, and there are occasional river breezes. But in the uninhabited mountains and forests on the border of Wuchang Road, there was a long team that did not see the end of the march in a hurry, and the cool river breeze could not dry the fine beads of sweat on their heads.
"Brothers, we have arrived at the border of Jiangbei Province, and we can rush to Yingzhou after a day's journey, and we will work harder, if this surprise attack can reap miraculous results, this general will be rewarded."
At the head of the team, the black armor general boosted the morale of the soldiers. If Shen Wansan saw this person here, he would definitely cry out badly. Because he knew this person, it was the son of Zuo Cheng of Sichuan Province who he had seen in Fanyang Lu's family, and he lost Badulu, Tuhuan Timur.
As soon as Badulu was ordered to lead troops to quell the rebellion, his son appeared on Wuchang Road, not far from Yingzhou City, with heavy troops, and the picture was obvious.
Yingzhou City, I'm afraid it's about to suffer a catastrophe.
Not long ago, when Tuhuan Timur had just returned from Fanyang City to Sichuan Province, he proposed to secretly lead troops from Huguang Province to make a surprise attack on Yingzhou City. The task of counterinsurgency is a long way to go, and if the two major rebel forces in Jiangbei Province can inflict heavy losses on one side first, then the subsequent battle will be much easier. As long as Yingzhou City is occupied, it is equivalent to allowing the counterinsurgency army to gain a firm foothold in Jiangbei Province. If Zhang Shicheng, the leader of the rebels, can be captured by the way, it will be equivalent to destroying the rebels' siblings, and the victory of counterinsurgency will be just around the corner.
After listening to his son's proposal, Badulu felt that it was feasible, and decisively allocated 50,000 troops to let Tuhuan Timur lead the way, marching all the way, starting from Sichuan Province, and going around Huguang Province to the rear of Yingzhou City. This is the trip to Wuchang of this army.
Tuhuan Timur's eyes were firm, looking at the direction of Yingzhou City, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said secretly in his heart: "Zhang Shicheng, this general wants to see how capable you are, dare to make trouble on the territory of my Dayuan Dynasty." ”
On another day, Tuhuan Timur successfully arrived outside Yingzhou with an army of 50,000. Zhang Shicheng's eyes have been staring at Badulu, who had just set off from Sichuan Province, but he never expected that there would already be a sharp knife in his rear.
There were only 30,000 rebel troops left in Yingzhou City, and the appearance of Tuhuan Timur was really unexpected, and it was not long before Zhang Shicheng finally built the base camp in Jiangbei Province was taken away by Tuhuan Timur.
But fortunately, Zhang Shicheng broke out of the encirclement under the protection of several personal guards and escaped. When Tuhuan Timur led his troops to Zhang Shicheng's mansion, he only saw a scene of people going to the empty building.
slapped the table heavily, Tuhuan Timur snorted coldly in annoyance, gritted his teeth and said: "Zhang Shicheng, you are lucky this time..."
On the other side, on the road from Yingzhou City to Zhaozhou, Zhang Shicheng, who was disheveled and embarrassed, rode his horse with several guards.
A guard asked, "Marshal, are we going to gather our army's forces in Jiangbei to recapture Yingzhou City next?" ”
Zhang Shicheng didn't look back, and the horsewhip slapped the horse's back hard. The neighing of horses was accompanied by the howling wind in his ears, and Zhang Shicheng replied without thinking: "The matter of recapturing Yingzhou City is not urgent, the original imperial court is menacing this time, and the strength of our army alone is definitely not enough to resist." Go to Zhaozhou first and discuss the follow-up with the Red Turban Army. ”
"Yes..."
A few horses galloped desperately, stepping on the dusty dust all the way.
......
In the military camp of Zhaozhou City, a wonderful competition between Zhu Chuba and Lu Hanqing has just ended, and the competition between Ye Yingxian and the winner Zhu Chuba is about to start again. The soldiers didn't know Ye Yingxian, but as long as Zhu Chuba was present, they were all looking forward to it.
"Brother Zhu, please advise."
