"Report! Somehow assisting the remnants of the rebel army, Anuf was attacking the cavalry under the command of Mu Gexing Sima. ”

A moment later, a scout cavalry reported the news on the battlefield in front to Niu Qian, the general of Zhao State, which made Niu Qian's heart sink after hearing this, and he made a mistake in the secret way.

I remember that in the early hours of this morning, Niu Qian, who arrived in Gaotangyi two days earlier, received a message from Zhang Ji's team of 1,000 cavalry, and learned that Zhao's father and his party were close to Gaotangyi.

Not surprisingly, it didn't take long for the cavalry led by Anufu and Mu Ge to find the whereabouts of Master Zhao and others.

After a lot of hard work, he finally caught Master Zhao and his party, I have to say that this is a good thing for Niu Qian, but he forgot one thing, that is, the status of Lord Zhao in the hearts of the Hu cavalry.

Unlike the Central Plains people who pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, or pursue interests, the Hu people advocate that the strong man is the king, and in the hearts of the Hu cavalry who voluntarily defected to the Zhao State, Zhao Yong, the father of Zhao, is a greater king than King Lin Hu, King Lou Fu, and King Huns, so it is not surprising that he defected to Lord Zhao like Hu Anufu.

But this is not a good thing for Niu Qian.

"It must be done quickly!"

Niu Jian thought to himself.

To this day, he still hides the truth from his cavalry.

He didn't dare to tell the truth to the cavalry under his command, so the vast majority of the cavalry of the Zhao State mistakenly thought that the two rebel generals under the command of Meng Zhong and Pang Xuan had kidnapped Master Zhao's father, in case Master Zhao counted his crimes on the battlefield, it was not possible that more of the cavalry lieutenant generals under his command would defect to the opposite side - there is no doubt that with the prestige and personal charm of Master Zhao, he is fully capable of doing this.

Thinking of this, Niu Jian immediately ordered: "Hu Ren Anufu betrayed my Zhao State, and all the sergeants listened to the order and killed him and the rest of the rebel army!" ”

Hearing this, some of his subordinates asked puzzledly, "What about the master father?" ”

Niu Jian was stunned when he heard this, and after being silent for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Master Father...... I will lead the cavalry to the rescue, you don't have to worry, you just need to kill the remnants of the rebels and the betrayed Lin Hu cavalry! …… Got it? ”

"Obey!"

The cavalry generals near Niu Jian clasped their fists and received their orders.

At this time, Master Zhao was attacking the cavalry led by Sima Muge under the command of Niu Jian with the help of hundreds of Linhu cavalry such as Anufu.

I saw that under the shocked gaze of Meng Zhong, Meng Hu and others, hundreds of Lin Hu cavalry and hundreds of Zhao cavalry collided with each other, attacked each other, and killed each other.

Every time the war horse neighed, it seemed that the cavalry of Hu Qi or Zhao Qi fell off their horses because of the collision with each other, and in an instant, these cavalrymen were ruthlessly trampled into flesh by the chaotic army, and it was unbearable to see.

Swallowing their saliva, Meng Zhong, Meng Hu and the others only saw their scalps numb, they didn't know how to describe the bloody battlefield they saw in front of them, and they didn't know whether to intervene in it, the only thing they could do was to protect Lord Zhao's father.

And Lord Zhao's father was still shouting loudly at this time, using his prestige to counter the hostile Zhao cavalry.

I have to say that Lord Zhao's father is worthy of the son of Zhao Suhou, and the prestige he has accumulated as a king in Zhao for more than 20 years is indeed unimaginable to ordinary people, no, obviously he was still attacking Hu Cai and attacking Zhao Zhu's father's Zhao cavalry, until they confirmed with their own eyes that the one in front of them was indeed their former king, these Zhao cavalry changed their positions, so that at first hundreds of Hu cavalry fought against hundreds of Zhao horses, and after a short period of time, a large number of Zhao cavalry gathered under the command of Zhao Master's father, Turn the gun and attack their original boss, Mu Ge.

In this case, how can Mu Ge resist it? In a hurry, he tried to escape, but was chased by a group of Hu cavalry, cut to the ground, and then chopped into pulp with a knife.

At this time, the cavalry under Niu Jian in the distance had appeared on the edge of the battlefield and rushed towards this side.

Seeing this, the Hu cavalry general Anufu returned to Master Zhao's side, pointed to the distance and said in a stiff Zhao dialect: "The king of the southern kingdom, the traitor you designated, Niu Qian, is leading a large number of cavalry to kill this side!" ”

"It's good to come!"

Probably because there were already seven or eight hundred more Zhao cavalry and Hu cavalry around him, and the confidence in the heart of Master Zhao was also a little stronger, I saw him shouting loudly in the dialect and Hu language of Zhao State: "The warriors of Zhao State and Lin Hu, the hateful traitor Niu Jian betrayed me, he blinded the cavalry under his command, and tried to kill me, I order you to kill this hateful traitor!" ”

"Wow——!"

The Lin Hu cavalry was the first to respond to the order of Lord Zhao's father, and immediately, the cavalry of Zhao State under the command of Lord Zhao also raised their arms and shouted, and the two cavalry lined up in formation, facing the oncoming Niu Jian army cavalry.

Not long after, the cavalry of the Niu Jian army on the opposite side began to charge.

"Shh

Seeing this, Master Zhao's father sighed hatefully, knowing that he also wanted to scold Niu Jian in front of the battle, and testify against Niu Jian in front of thousands of cavalry here, but unfortunately, Niu Jian didn't seem to be willing to give him a chance to shout in battle.

"Are you so desperate to kill me and cover up your crimes?"

With a sneer, Master Zhao pointed the sword in his hand forward and shouted loudly: "Kill ——! ”

At the sound of an order, nearly a thousand cavalry near him rushed towards the cavalry of the Niu Jian Army in the distance like a pack of wolves.

Even Master Zhao himself rushed forward brandishing his sword.

"Master Zhao!"

Pang Xuan was shocked, and hurriedly led the remaining twenty or so Xinwei soldiers to chase after him together with Meng Zhong.

"Boom—"

In the sound of thunder, thousands of cavalry of Lord Zhao's father, and thousands of cavalry of Niu Qian's army, slammed into one place after sprinting, for a while, as if the ground was shaking, as far as the eye could see, there was a tragedy of the cavalry on their backs.

"Lin Hu, why did you betray Zhao Guo?!"

"(Hu Yu) Niu Jian betrayed Master Zhao's father, damn it!"

"Niu Jian Sima has an order, Meng Zhong and Pang Xuan hold Zhao's father hostage......"

"Nope! It was Niu Jian who betrayed Lord Zhao's father, this is what Lord Zhao's father said! ”

During the fight with each other, the Zhao cavalry and Hu cavalry on the father side of Lord Zhao, as well as the cavalry under Niu Qianjun, accused each other of betrayal, but because Lord Zhao's father appeared on the battlefield and loudly blamed Niu Qian, many cavalry generals under Niu Jian fell into confusion.

What's going on?

Wasn't it Meng Zhong and Pang Xuan, the two rebel generals, who held Master Zhao hostage?

Why did Master Zhao say that it was General Niu Jian who betrayed him?

Individual Niu Jian cavalry slowly left the battlefield, witnessing the battle between the two sides with uncertain expressions.

At this time, Pang Xuan, Meng Zhong and others finally caught up with Master Zhao's father, only to see Pang Xuan grab the reins of the war horse under Zhao's father's crotch, and shouted eagerly: "Master Zhao!" What are you doing here? ”

Hearing this, Master Zhao raised his head and looked ahead, looking for Niu Qian's figure.

I have to say that compared with Anpingjun Zhao Cheng and Fengyangjun Li Dui, the most hated by Zhao's father is Niu Qian, because it was Niu Jian who defected to the king's teacher, which made his most beloved eldest son Gongzi Zhang defeat in Handan, and then defeated himself.

If Niu Jian had not defected, Gongzi Zhang had already regained the throne at this time, and he Zhao Yong had also returned to rule the Zhao State, and implemented the Tianqu Sun Technique of the Crane Guanzi, and he Zhao State would catch up with and surpass Qin and Qi, just around the corner!

However, all of this is now in vain, and Niu Jian is to blame for defecting!

And the ridiculous thing is that the defeat of Gongzizhang caused him Zhao Yong to lose the opportunity to re-govern Zhao State, and caused him Zhao State to lose this opportunity for reform, and the first evil that turned out to be his most trusted military Sima Niu Jian was his most trusted!

If there is no chance, he Zhao Yong can only temporarily flee to the Song State, and return to the Zhao State with the momentum of Qin and Song in two days, and then take revenge on Niu Qian, but now, more and more Zhao Qi and Hu Qi have defected to him under his shout, which makes Zhao's father have a different kind of thought in his heart - take the opportunity to kill Niu Jian and master this cavalry!

As long as he kills Niu Jian and masters this cavalry, he doesn't need to flee to the Song State, he can use this cavalry to fight with Zhao Wang He, An Pingjun Zhao Cheng, Fengyang Jun Li Dui and those people - even if it is not good, he can take this Zhao State cavalry to the Song State, and then lead this cavalry back to Zhao State in the future.

"Kill Niu Qian! Take the opportunity to kill Niu Qian!'

Recalling that day, under the coercion of Zhao Cheng, Li Dui and other soldiers surrounding the Dune Palace, Gongzi Zhang gloomily killed himself in front of him, and a strong anger and hatred surged in the heart of Master Zhao's father.

At that time, he couldn't protect himself and couldn't avenge Gongzi Zhang, but now, he has the opportunity to kill Niu Jian first to avenge Gongzi Zhang, and he doesn't want to wait for a moment!

"Niu Qian...... This is the only man I hate, and if I had the opportunity to kill him today, I would not want to wait until the next day. ”

Master Zhao's father expressed his hatred in his heart to Pang Xuan and Meng Zhong in a deep voice.

"Kill Niu Qian?"

Meng Zhong and Pang Xuan looked at each other.

Even if it was them, they couldn't say the victory or defeat of this war, after all, don't look at Niu Qianfang's cavalry still have an absolute numerical advantage at present, but considering that Lord Zhao can use his own prestige to oppose the cavalry on the front side, to be honest, this battle is really difficult to judge the victory or defeat.

"Meng Zhong, what do you think?" Pang Xuan asked Meng Zhongdao in a low voice.

I saw Meng Zhong frowning and looking at the chaotic battlefield a few times, and said in a low voice, "Let's wait and see for a while." …… If he escapes with Lord Zhao's father, Niu Jian will definitely chase after him, and instead of blindly fleeing, it is better to take advantage of the current opportunity to call on more cavalry to defect...... I don't dare to say whether I can take the opportunity to kill Niu Qian, but at least I can stop Niu Jian from leading the cavalry to pursue us again......"

Pang Xuan pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then said to Master Zhao: "If this matter fails, please evacuate Master Zhao immediately!" ”

"Good!"

Master Zhao agreed.

After the decision was made, Master Zhao listened to Meng Zhong's advice and asked the cavalry under his command to loudly accuse Niu Jian and testify against him for the crime of "betraying his master's father", which made more and more people in the cavalry of Niu Qian's army suspicious.

In the end, Meng Zhong and Pang Xuan held Zhao's father hostage?

Or did Niu Jian betray Master Zhao and try to put Master Zhao to death?

Seeing that the eyes of the soldiers around him had also changed, Niu Jian was shocked and angry in his heart, and he held back his anger and scolded: "Even you are doubting me? ”

"No, Sima ......" or one of the generals said hesitantly, "but the rebels on the other side...... It was said that you betrayed Master Zhao and tried to put Master Zhao to death......"

"Slander! This is a slander against me by the rebels! Niu Jian retorted angrily: "Meng Zhong and Pang Xuan are very cunning, they have deceived Master Zhao's father, so the top priority is to save Lord Zhao's father......"

After that, he ordered in a deep voice: "Pass my order, all the cavalry will attack hard, and as for Master Zhao, I will personally go to rescue ......."

After saying this, he led a group of cavalry and galloped in the direction of Lord Zhao's father.

"Can't delay any longer......

On the way to gallop on the horse, Niu Jian secretly told himself.

He knew that because of the relationship between Master Zhao's father, more and more people under his command had begun to suspect him, although it was not enough to openly disobey his orders for the time being, but it was not difficult to guess that the passive slackness of the battle would definitely lead to Master Zhao's escape.

And once Master Zhao's father escapes......

Shaking his head, he didn't dare to think about the consequences of Master Zhao's father once he escaped.

"(Hu) Niu Qian! Stop this traitor! ”

Seeing that Niu Jian personally led a team of cavalry to kill Master Zhao's father, the Hu cavalry general Anufu shouted and led a team of Hu cavalry to volley.

Seeing this, a few traces of murder flashed in Niu Qian's eyes.

"Whoever stands in my way, die!"

I saw him tighten his legs on the horse's belly, driving the war horse and slamming into the war horse under Anuf's crotch, only to hear a click, the front chests of the two war horses slammed into one place, and at this time, Niu Jian turned over and jumped up, waved the sword in his hand, and slashed at Anunf with a sword.

Anufu was caught off guard, because the war horse under the crotch lost its center of gravity and could not block in time, he was slashed on his left arm by Niu Jian with a sword, and blood was splashed immediately, and one arm was immediately cut off by Niu Qian.

"Ahh

Anunfu, who was in pain, covered his broken arm and turned his horse backwards, but at this time, he saw Niu Jian raise his right hand, grabbed the reins handed by the friendly cavalry behind him, and after galloping with the galloping war horse for a short while, he turned over on the horse's back with his strength, pointed the sword in his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, kill it!" ”

"Wow!"

The cavalry behind him echoed loudly.

At this time, Meng Zhong, Pang Xuan and others saw this scene from a distance and were shocked in their hearts.

"What a great ride! What a great martial art! ”

Meng Zhong couldn't help but praise.

It's not, you must know that Hu Ren Anufu is also a brave cavalry in Meng Zhong's eyes, at least much more powerful than Meng Zhong and his friends, but such a powerful cavalry was cut off by Niu Qian's arm with one move, which shows how strong Niu Qian's riding skills and martial arts are.

Hearing Meng Zhong's unconsciously praised, Master Zhao said lightly: "After all, that Niu Jian has been honed at the border, if he didn't have such skills, he would have died in the hands of Lin Hu, Xiongnu, Lou Fu and other foreign warriors......"

As he said this, a few complicated expressions flashed in his eyes.

After all, once upon a time, Niu Jian was the most trusted general under his command, not only because of Niu Qian's loyalty to him, but also because of Niu Qian's outstanding personal strength and ability to command cavalry.

But he didn't expect that now, the once most trusted general would put him to death.

"Block him!"

"(Hu) Stop him!"

Seeing that Niu Jian led the cavalry to rush to the location of Lord Zhao's father, the cavalry of Lord Zhao's father stepped forward to block them along the way, but they were chiseled through by Niu Jian and the cavalry.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong and Pang Xuan shouted: "Protect Master Zhao!" ”

Hearing this, Meng Hu, Meng Sui and others, as well as more than 20 Xinwei soldiers, formed a formation and tried to block Niu Qian.

However, in the face of the small infantry formation composed of Meng Zhong, Pang Xuan and others, Niu Jian did not dodge at all, and directly collided head-on.

Hearing a loud bang, the formation formed by the twenty or so Xinwei soldiers was scattered by Niu Jian and the cavalry behind him.

And Niu Jian himself also fell off his horse because of the force of the collision, and rolled on the ground several times before stopping the momentum.

At this time, Niu Qian's location was about two or three zhang away from Meng Zhong, Meng Hu and others, seeing this, Meng Zhong and Meng Hu glanced at each other, and immediately raised a sword to slash at Niu Qian.

"Niu Jian suffers death!"

I saw Meng Hu scream and slash at Niu Qian, but what he never expected was that Niu Jian used the sword in his hand to steadily block Meng Hu's blow with the arm strength of one hand.

"By you?!"

With a sneer, Niu Jian flew up and kicked Menghu in the abdomen, directly kicking Menghu, who was wearing three layers of thick armor, more than two feet away.

"Hu!"

Meng Zhong shouted loudly, and the sword in his hand slashed at Niu Qian, but was once again parried by Niu Qian.

"Meng Zhong ......"

Niu Jian looked at Meng Zhong's gaze, and a trace of anger flashed.

What to hate?

It was nothing more than annoyance that Meng Zhong, Pang Xuan and others protected Lord Zhao and quietly fled from the Dune Palace, forcing him Niu Jian to order the arrow release of Lord Zhao in Hanoi on the Qinghe River beach.

"You deserve to die too!"

With a far superior arm strength to Meng Zhong, Niu Jian stirred the sword in Meng Zhong's hand with a stir of his right hand, and just as he was about to swing the sword again to kill Meng Zhong, he suddenly felt a gust of evil wind coming from the back of his head.

Without thinking about it, Niu Jian turned around to resist, only to hear the sound of the bell, and he blocked the sharp sword that was slashing at him head-on.

"Lord Zhao's Father......"

Niu Jian looked at the owner of the sword with a complicated expression.

"Humph!"

Master Zhao snorted coldly, turned his horse and took two steps back, and at the same time reminded Meng Zhong and the others: "Meng Zhong, be careful, you are not the opponent of this traitor yet!" ”

"Yes!"

Meng Zhong picked up the sharp sword on the ground and quickly protected it with Meng Hu, Pang Xuan and others around Master Zhao's father, while from the side, Ju Xin, Zhao Hao, Meng Sui, Le Yi and others, as well as the remaining twenty or so Xinwei soldiers, were fighting with Niu Qian's guards.

Although he was scolded as a traitor by Master Zhao, Niu Jian was not angry, but said calmly: "Master Zhao, I will take you back to the Dune Palace...... Please come back to the palace with me. ”

"Haha, go back to the Dune Palace and wait for death?" Master Zhao sneered and said: "Niu Qian, I think that when Zhao Gu recommended you to me, you were still an upright person, and I never thought that after a few years, you would betray me for utilitarian gain......"

"I have not betrayed you......"

"Never? Ha! Do you dare to tell your men what you have done? ”

“……”

Niu Jian was silent for a moment, and then looked at Master Zhao and said in a deep voice: "It seems that you have been deceived too deeply by Meng Zhong and Pang Xuan, please forgive Niu Jian for being rude, no matter what today, the minister will also bring you back to the Dune Palace......"

"You can try!" Master Zhao sneered, and after that, he personally drove the war horse towards Niu Jian to kill.

Unexpectedly, Niu Jian grabbed the right hand of Master Zhao's father who swung his sword at him, and threw it off the horse.

Hearing a bang, Master Zhao's back fell heavily on the snow, and his face showed a little pain.

"Master Zhao!"

Meng Zhong, Pang Xuan and others were shocked, and hurriedly gathered to force Niu Jian back.

When Meng Zhong lifted Master Zhao up from the ground, a little shame and hatred flashed on Master Zhao's face.

In all fairness, Master Zhao's father has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has been fighting horses all his life, and he definitely won't be pulled off the horse by Niu Jian so easily, the key is that his strength has been greatly reduced because of the arrow wound on his back.

And in this regard, Niu Jian was also a little surprised, only to see him glance at his right hand, then looked up at the Zhao master in front of him, and said with a chuckle: "It seems that the master father is indeed very difficult to escape all the way...... After that, he stretched out his right hand again, and said seemingly kindly: "Master father, please return to the Dune Palace with the ministers." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard an angry scolding from behind me: "Back to your mother!" ”

It turned out that it was Meng Hu, who had gasped, raised his sword again and slashed towards Niu Qian.

"Look for death!"

Niu Jian scolded in a low voice, sideways to avoid Meng Hu's blow, and at the same time the sword in his hand slashed through Meng Hu's chest and abdomen, but what made him a little stunned was that Meng Hu did not react after being injured, and continued to attack him in a round.

After being slightly stunned, Niu Jian realized that these people in front of him might be wearing three layers of armor, and the thickness of the three layers of armor, even if it was him, it would be difficult to really hurt the other party, unless he attacked a place where his armor could not be defended.

Thinking of this, Niu Jian stabbed at Menghu's face with a sword, the speed and strength were so fast that Menghu, who subconsciously avoided this blow, couldn't help but ooze cold sweat on his head.

"Don't stand and watch, come and help me!" Taking advantage of the gap, Meng Hu shouted around in a panic and anxiety.

Hearing this, Meng Zhong, Meng Sui, Le Yi and the rest of the Xinwei soldiers stepped forward to help, and even Master Zhao's father pushed away Pang Xuan's support and killed Niu Qian.

During this period, cavalry from both sides swept by.

Seeing this, Niu Jian shouted loudly: "Master Zhao was deceived by Meng Zhong and Pang Xuan, and all the monarchs helped me kill all the rebellion and take Master Zhao back to the palace!" ”

In this regard, Lord Zhao's father also angrily reprimanded: "I am the father of Zhao State, Niu Jian betrayed me, everyone was killed, and those who dared to help Niu Jian were all rebellious to my Zhao State, and the three clans were punished!" ”

“……”

“……”

Hearing the order of Master Zhao's father, even the cavalry under Niu Jian did not dare to move, but Niu Qian's henchmen and close cavalry desperately killed Meng Zhong and others, but they were intercepted by the rest of the Zhao cavalry or Hu cavalry.

At this time, on this battlefield, thousands of cavalry who were originally under Niu Qian's command were fighting each other at this moment, resulting in countless cavalry being killed, and the red blood stained the snow on the battlefield.

At this time, in the distance, there were generals under Niu Jian such as Zhang Ji and Chang Yong, who led cavalry to come to aid when they heard the news.

"Niu Sima has an order, kill all the rebels!"

"Master Zhao has an order, dare to assist Niu Jian rebels, punish the three clans!"

Under the two conflicting orders of Master Zhao and Niu Qian, the cavalry of Zhao who rushed to help also took different positions.

For example, Zhang Ji, when he saw that Chang Yong wanted to lead the cavalry to attack the location of Zhao's master's father and his party, he deliberately blocked his way, so angry that Chang Yong scolded him: "Zhang Ji, do you believe the rebels' statement, do you think that Niu Sima betrayed his master father and betrayed Zhao Guo?!" ”

Zhang Ji explained unhurriedly: "No, I just think there must be some misunderstanding in this, I think this fight should be stopped now, after all, both sides are soldiers of my Zhao State......

Chang Yong was furious and led the cavalry to attack Zhang Ji, but Zhang Ji did not give in and led his cavalry to block the oncoming cavalry.

All in all, the nearly 10,000 cavalry of the Zhao State under Niu Jian were attacking each other on this battlefield at this moment, and the situation was extremely chaotic.

At this time, Fengyang Jun Li Dui personally led the army that pursued Zhao's father, and it was only half a day's journey from here......
