Two zhang away, He Qiyuan heard Wu Yanhao's shout, and the knife in his hand was raised into the air, and the army stopped. As Wu Yanhao expected, what flashed in He Qiyuan's mind at this time was Wu Yanhao's reward.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers stopped, Wu Yanhao intentionally took two steps forward, facing He Qiyuan and said, "May I ask the general's name?" "Crippled, how far away is five points to believe that the person opposite is Wu Yanhao, his eyes squinted, and he motioned for the guard next to him to step forward and answer.

When marching and fighting, safety comes first, unless it is necessary to boost morale, command operations, and lead the army to charge into battle, He Qiyuan is the same as the armor worn by the guards. Fifty guards are his talismans, all of them are powerful, mixed in with this group of guards, and feel safe.

As soon as the guard took a step, Wu Yanhao smiled contemptuously and said, "This general, Wu is not blind if he is lame, and he can tell whether it is a phoenix or a chicken." Send a personal soldier over, the general must be too careful. ”

He Qiyuan's face was red, anyway, his face was black and no one could see it in the dark night, with a little pride in his heart, Wu Yanhao could tell that he was different from the crowd, this eyesight was good enough, the key was that he was the phoenix among people, and even the night could not hide his excellence. He was far from stepping forward immediately, first checking whether there were dark archers in the rebels, and not to lose his life for a while.

The fighting gradually stopped, Wu Yanhao's brows jumped slightly, if the officers and soldiers formed a formation, the righteous army would be in danger, and it would be a quick battle. Thinking of this, Wu Yanhao laughed and said: "It turned out to be a gutless rat, Wu will not accompany him much, brothers, let's go." ”

Wu Yanhao wants to escape, looking for someone in the chaotic army in the dark night is like looking for a needle in a haystack, if he lets the credit in hand run away, he will be annoyed for the rest of his life, and he will be ridiculed by others. He Qiyuan hurriedly shouted: "Wu Yanhao, He will fight you to the death." ”

Rushing at the guards beside him, the guards understood, and quietly retreated, the general was preparing to delay time and reorganize the army to trap this group of rebels. Wu Yanhao knew that the time was urgent, and he might not be able to get out of the siege smoothly if he delayed for a moment, so when he saw how far he stepped forward, he raised his knife and went forward.

Wu Yanhao is now famous all over the world, from the Son of Heaven to the common people, he knows that there is a general in the rebel army, and he led 5,000 rebels to fight in Yuanhuajiang, and the 40,000 troops of the court cannot exterminate him for half a year. He Qiyuan saw Wu Yanhao's intelligence and knew that this person was brave, but He Qiyuan was more confident in himself, the guards around him were all masters, but his ability to fight five people was undefeated, Wu Yanhao's skills were good, but his legs were lame, and his footwork was naturally ineffective, how could he be his opponent.

Looking at Wu Yanhao, who was striding over, He Qiyuan suppressed the desire to win, and asked for stability, dragging Wu Yanhao and dragging the rebels, if he could completely exterminate this group of rebels, his own merits might become Jin Pingbo.

The sword wind is cold, and the waist is slashed. He took a step from the far side, avoided its edge first, and the knife in his hand was drawn outward, and the two knives touched one place with a "dang" sound, splashing sparks. Feeling the strength in his hand, He Qiyuan knew in his heart that the strength was about the same as his own. Wu Yanhao stepped forward, and the tip of the knife was distracted. He Qiyuan took a step back, raised the knife and knocked it away, swept the knife away, swept his wrist, and went straight to Wu Yanhao's chest, Wu Yanhao took a step back, and the knife swept past his chest.

The two fought each other for three or four rounds, He Qiyuan knew in his heart, Wu Yanhao was just like that, his courage was let go, his hands were strengthened, the knife was like a windmill attacking again and again, and the sound of "dangdang" constantly forced Wu Yanhao to retreat again and again. It was dark and uneven, Wu Yanhao didn't check for a while, and his legs and feet were inconvenient, so he was trampled by the corpse on the ground and tilted to the right.

Good opportunity, He Qiyuan stepped forward, and the tip of the knife viciously stabbed at Wu Yanhao, who was unstable on his feet. The firelight shone in Wu Yanhao's eyes, and he saw a hint of sarcasm from afar, and before he could react, the two corpses on the ground suddenly bounced up, and two short blades pierced his ribs one left and one right.

It's not good, I was ambushed, I couldn't care about my annoyance, my body didn't retreat, but advanced, and I rushed forward. Wu Yanhao's unsteady body froze, and the steel knife in his hand pointed at He Zhiyuan's lower abdomen. was ambushed on three sides, fell into death, He Qiyuan screamed wildly, and pulled a cushion on his back before he died, regardless of the steel knife inserted into the lower abdomen, and the knife in his hand slashed at Wu Yanhao's neck regardless of it.

Wu Yanhao had already prevented He Qiyuan from jumping off the wall in a hurry, and the steel knife was erected in front of him unhurriedly, his left leg stretched forward, and he hit the ground hard, blocking He Qiyuan's approach. The two daggers cut a string of sparks on the iron armor on He Qiyuan's back, and the fat man was so strong that the tip of the knife penetrated through the armor and slanted in, leaving a deep groove of blood.

He Qiyuan roared angrily, his body twisted, and the knife swept towards the fat man, the fat man's dagger was stuck by the armor, and He Qiyuan twisted his body to drive his footsteps, and it was too late to let go when the knife swept away, the fat man snorted, and the knife did not avoid, and the dagger stabbed straight into He Qiyuan's body.

Blood splashed, the fat man's chest was cut open by a knife, He Qiyuan felt that his back was like a fire stick straight into his heart, and then his lower abdomen was hot, and Wu Yanhao's knife penetrated through his lower abdomen. The fat man and He Qiyuan fell at the same time, and when he saw Angkor's iron face before he died, the fat man wanted to smile, but the corners of his mouth just stiffened.

"Cowboy, optimistic about the fat man". Wu Yanhao knew that it was not the time to be sad, so he raised the bloody steel knife, pointed in the direction of the military village, and roared angrily: "Brothers, kill the enemy with me." ”

"Kill", the roar was like thunder, Wu Yanhao rushed forward like an enraged bull, and he was accustomed to seeing the death of his brother on the battlefield, he thought that he could be numb, but the death of the fat man tore the scarred memory again, and the pain hit the whole body like a tide, only to swing the knife, swing the knife, swing the knife.

Wu Yanhao didn't know how long he had been rushing and killing, and an eager voice came from his ears, "Big brother, big brother, the official army has fled." ”

Standing on his feet blankly, Wu Yanhao heard cheers. After winning, Wu Yanhao threw the knife in his hand and sat on the ground weakly, losing even the strength to raise his hand. After taking a moment's breath, Wu Yanhao asked with difficulty, "What about the fat man?" ”

The crowd separated, and the cowboy walked over with the fat man in his arms full of tears, and said in a choked voice: "Big brother, fat man, fat man, he went." ”

The heart was pinched hard again, Wu Yanhao gasped a few times to calm the sharp pain in his heart, and the fat face with a smile on his face would leave him. The cowboy carefully put the fat man on the ground, Wu Yanhao saw that the fat man's chest was bloody, and he suppressed his heart and said: "Change good clothes for the fat man, melt together with the brothers who died in the war, and scatter them into the river." Clean up the battlefield, count casualties, and prepare for evacuation. ”

When the sky was light, Lao Xiao came to report the battle damage, "...... As many as 726 brothers were killed in the battle, more than 140 were seriously wounded, and more than 400 were slightly wounded, more than 1,400 officers and soldiers were killed, and more than 800 were captured. According to me, kill them all and avenge the fat brother. ”

The loss of 5,000 men and horses was more than 20%, and this vicious battle could only be called a narrow victory. Since the beginning of the army, how many brothers have died on the battlefield, Xu Hu, who surrendered to Xinyang City, died, and the fat man also died, I don't know when it will be my turn. Life and death have long been downplayed, and as long as you live, you have to take your brothers forward.

The flames are flying and the black smoke is rising into the air, and the brothers who died in battle do not need to be buried, for fear of being dug up by the officials and soldiers to receive merit. The sun has risen high, and the fat man's ashes have been scattered into the river, Wu Yanhao stood by the river expressionlessly, looking at the surging river in a daze.

The cowboy approached and said: "Big brother, life can't be resurrected, I want to do it, the fat man likes water, maybe he will be invited by the Dragon King to be his son-in-law." It's not too early, big brother, we have to leave, or the dogs in the court will bite up. ”

As he spoke, there was movement on the other side, the sun was shining, and the flag could be seen waving clearly from a distance of several miles, and it was the officers and soldiers stationed in Ningtian who had dispatched. The cowboy said angrily: "These dog thieves have a very smart nose, big brother let's go." ”

Wu Yanhao said in a deep voice: "Have you contacted the brothers in Funiu Village, let the injured brothers go first, let Lao Miao lead the team, and you and I will stay for a while." ”

Flags were waving on the other side of the shore, but there were no boats in sight, and across the Yuanhua River, it was possible to shoot to the opposite bank unless a winch crossbow was used. Wu Yanhao walked along the embankment with his hands behind his back and watched, the boats landed a little violently at night, and some of the blue bricks on the surface of the embankment were knocked down, revealing the soil inside, and the large and small holes were washed out by the river.

In June, it was the season of rising water, Wu Yanhao remembered that he went down the river from Chihuai, all the way was smooth, and he did not encounter any stranding, and asked the water thieves who came to him, and every year from May to September is the news period of the Yuanhua River, so he should pay special attention. Wu Yanhao remembered that a few years ago, the Yuanhua River embankment collapsed, and the Jiangnan Transshipment Division embezzled the money to repair the embankment, causing the embankment to collapse, leaving hundreds of thousands of people homeless, and being coerced by bandits to attack Linhua County, almost causing a catastrophe.

The river hit the bank, the loose embankment was taken down, and the muddy water fell into the river water and became more and more turbid, Wu Yanhao stood still, his face was cloudy. The cowboy saw that Wu Yanhao's face was wrong, and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?" ”

Wu Yanhao took a deep breath and asked, "Cowboy, I remember that you are from Louzhou." ”

"Yes, our brothers have all over the world, and I'm afraid we won't have a chance to go back. With the eldest brother, even if you are a ghost in a foreign land, there is nothing, and our brothers will not be lonely together in the underworld. A hint of pain flashed across the cowboy's face, and he laughed.

"I want to dig the embankment of the Yuanhua River and turn this surging river into 100,000 male soldiers to block the pursuit of the official army." Wu Yanhao gritted his teeth, raised his arms and waved vigorously in the air.

The cowboy was startled and said, "Big brother, dig the embankment, then countless people will be flooded." This, is this good? ”

Wu Yanhao turned his face to look at the cowboy, with madness in his eyes, and said: "If the land is flooded, the officers and soldiers will have nowhere to get food, so they can only retreat." The people are displaced, and we can take the opportunity to grow stronger and bring them to the sky. ”

The cowboy shuddered, and the scene of hundreds of people being displaced appeared in his mind, and he persuaded sneeringly: "Big brother, then this evil will be great, we will go to eighteen layers of hell, and we will never be able to turn over." ”

"What are you afraid of, even if Lao Tzu dies, he can take you to smash the Yama Palace." Wu Yanhao's eyes were bloody, and he panted and shouted, "Come on, dig up the river embankment." ”
