Chapter Ninety-Five: A Dangerous Game
This young man, no more than twenty years old, was dressed in shiny gorgeous armor, wearing a bright red robe, majestic and vigorous.
His name is He Yan, a native of the He clan of Chen County, a clansman of the former Taifu He Zeng, and the current governor of Yuzhou, the lieutenant of his uncle He Shao. He commanded 500 elite cavalry.
However, as the lieutenant of the governor of Yuzhou, he came to the boundary of Jingzhou, which is very unreasonable.
But he came by command.
He Shao secretly ordered him to tour the western boundary of Yuzhou, secretly enter Jingzhou, and walk day and night. Until the Champion County, he accepted the task given to him by a person named Shi Jinhan.
Shi Jinhan is an old man. If Zheng Sheng saw him, he would definitely recognize him immediately.
This person was Shi Lao, who appeared beside Chang Bin that day.
Shi Jinhan showed He Yan the token of Jingzhou's assassin history: "Your clan uncle has a very good relationship with my master. This operation please. ”
……
Looking at the village in the distance, the scout sent by He Yan came back: "General, those people in front are Zheng Sheng's Tiger Guard Battalion. What running training they are doing. ”
He Yan frowned: "Running training? Practice escaping? Shi Lao, is the Zheng Sheng you want me to arrest among those people? ”
"Yes, he must be among those people. Little General, please do it. ”
He Yan didn't care about this special mission, so he said in a very flirtatious tone: "Don't worry, our horses are tired." Let them run away a little longer. ”
Shi Jinhan saw that many people had already run across the wooden bridge, and said to He Yan: "Little general, if you don't do it, Zheng Sheng may run away!" ”
He Yan clapped his hands and ordered: "Okay, prepare to sprint." Targets, those in strange clothes ahead. You don't have to kill, but the other party wants to resist, or snatch the horse, and it's allowed to kill! ”
"Whoa!"
The soldiers waved their whips and rushed quickly.
At this time, nearly half of the teenagers ran across the bridge. The rest of the teenagers are also almost at the bridge.
Zheng Sheng pulled the guy who fell behind. Run briskly.
"I don't need your help!" Lu Chong angrily pushed him away.
Zheng Sheng turned his face and recognized him as Lu Chong: "It's actually you?" Why are you here? I said so! The last place is half a mile away from the penultimate place! ”
Lu Chong gasped: "The cavalry has sprinted, you still have the heart to shout at me!" ”
Zheng Sheng pulled him and ran without saying a word.
They got to the bridge. But the wooden bridge is not wide, and can only accommodate two or three teenagers to pass side by side. And there are nearly 100 people left here.
Zheng Sheng looked back, those cavalry were stepping on the wheat field, and the cavalry at the front was only a few dozen meters away from them!
No time!
Zheng Sheng looked at the river and resolutely shouted and ordered: "Zheng Shang, break the bridge!" The rest! Go down the river and wade through! ”
Zheng Shang did not hesitate to destroy the wooden bridge over there.
The cavalry at the front was only twenty or thirty meters away from them!
Zheng Sheng continued to order: "Go down to the river!" ”
Everyone jumped down.
In an instant, waves rippled on the surface of the river.
The cavalrymen stopped their horses, and the horses looked at the river and neighed uneasily.
August is still the flood season, and the river flows very fast. Zheng Sheng felt a strong thrust, but he pushed the river away, kept pedaling under his feet, and instantly overcame this small difficulty and swam to the other side of the river.
He Yan rode a horse and looked at the teenagers lying on the ground on the other side of the river and cheering, and couldn't help frowning: "These guys! ”
He did not delay time, he was just following the requirements of the cavalry before the charge, and the formation and rest of the horses. There was no delay. But in the blink of an eye, more than 200 people crossed the river.
This is not only a test of the soldiers' obedience to orders, but also a test of the adaptability of the team commander. He Yan felt that he had underestimated this Xiangyong before.
"Well, don't think that this is the way to go, this game has just begun. Come on, go find a nearby bridge, let's cross the river! ”
Zheng Sheng was about to reach the riverbank, when he suddenly saw a figure in front of him on the left suddenly sink. Zheng Sheng didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly dived down and brought him up.
The man struggled to get rid of him.
Zheng Sheng held on to him tightly. When they reached the riverbank, Zheng Sheng threw him on the ground. The man didn't say a word, but went to the river!
"What are you doing?" Zheng Sheng grabbed him.
"Leave me alone. Let me die! He shouted.
Zheng Sheng pushed him to the ground: "Are you stupid?" Zheng Sheng walked up, looked at his face carefully, and suddenly said, "Are you Liu Guzi?" ”
Liu Guzi raised his head and said in astonishment: "Shizi! ”
Zheng Sheng frowned, Liu Guzi lowered his head, and Zheng Sheng punched him in the shoulder, "Follow me." ”
Zheng Sheng didn't have time to think about Liu Guzi's short-sightedness, he and his family were deceived, and his parents were also killed by traitors.
That day, they fell into the river, and in the raging water, Liu Guzi only had the ability to protect himself, and he and his parents were washed away in an instant......
Zheng Sheng came to the crowd and said to Zheng Shang: "You lead the team and take everyone to Qushou to gather." Follow that road back to camp. ”
"All the captains of the team, follow me!" Zheng Sheng led people to the northwest.
"The nearest wooden bridge should be the one at the confluence of Mingquan Creek and Beixi. We're going to get ahead of them and get there. Zheng Sheng said secretly.
Zheng Shang led the brigade along the road to the west.
Some of the cavalry sent by He Yan went to Wutian Juli for questioning. But the doors of the Wutian family are closed. The annoyed cavalry kicked the door open and broke in. The child's cry suddenly rang out, and the two big yellow dogs roared and rushed towards the intruder.
The cavalry drew his sword unceremoniously, the blood flashed, and the big dog lay on the ground with a mournful scream.
The family was driven out by the cavalry tremblingly, and the cavalry led by them shouted viciously: "Say! Where is the nearest bridge? ”
The head of the family, an old man in his sixties, stood up: "When the thief comes, how can he harm our son because he is afraid of death!" ”
The cavalry grabbed the crying child: "Don't say it? Then I'll kill him first! ”
……
The wooden bridge was more than five miles away from Wutianju, and when Zheng Sheng arrived at the wooden bridge with the captains, a team of cavalry also arrived.
They were whistling and rushing over.
Zheng Sheng ordered: "Half of the people cut the bridge, and half of the people follow me to block them." ”
Zheng Sheng rushed onto the wooden bridge, the front cavalry had already rushed in front of him, Zheng Sheng hurriedly flashed, clenched his fist and elbowed the horse in the waist and abdomen.
The other teenagers did the same thing - this method came from the bald and humble riding instructor.
They managed to get the first one without a hitch. The horse was attacked nearly ten times, and finally fell to the ground with a grief.
Carried by the horse's strength, Zheng Sheng crashed into the railing of the wooden bridge in embarrassment. He quickly got to his feet and swung his second punch into the belly of the second horse. The cavalry angrily swung his horsewhip at Zheng Sheng. Zheng Sheng saw it, grabbed the horsewhip, pulled it hard, and dragged him off the horse. The two men collided with the wooden fence together, the wooden fence shattered instantly, and the two fell into the river at the same time, and the guards followed suit, dragging the cavalry who dared to rush to the bridge off their horses and carrying them into the river.
Zheng Sheng watched the cavalry struggling in the river, he didn't seem to be able to swim, and he was even wearing armor, if he didn't save him, he would inevitably drown.
Zheng Sheng turned around, knocked him unconscious, and dragged the heavy guy back to the shore. At this time, the wooden bridge collapsed!
"Oh!"
"Win!"
The teenagers cheered!
Zheng Sheng threw down the unconscious captive and cheered together.
