Chapter 22: Your Majesty, spare your life
Li Xuan couldn't help frowning as he watched Butcher Chen in front of him rush down with a group of people in a hurry.
When Butcher Chen said that he and Fang Dongquan had resisted the officers and soldiers together, he thought that this Butcher Chen knew a little bit about fighting and the like.
But now it doesn't look like it!
Because they didn't have any formation at all, they just rushed down in such a chaotic swarm, shouting all kinds of killing, killing slogans, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a war, but a fight in the countryside.
However, although he frowned, Li Xuan also knew very well that at this moment, except for Butcher Chen, there was really no one who could lead these bandits to charge into battle.
In this bandit's nest, the one who can really fight is probably that Fang Dongquan, after all, that person has blocked the attack of the officers and soldiers, but now Fang Dongquan has not come back yet, and he is still taking the officers and soldiers in circles in the mountains.
Among the rest of the people, Liu Bagou, a Taoist priest, didn't learn any skills, let alone bring a dog, so the force value is quite low, let alone leading troops to fight, and he can't even lift a knife.
Among the rest of the people, Qian Mengjiu is only a doctor, and the doctor of this year is actually half a scholar, and he is basically powerless, and it is impossible to fight.
And Bai Yunqi can barely go into battle, but it is the level of ordinary young and strong, and his prestige in a group of bandits is too low, and he can't be recognized by those bandits at all.
Unlike Butcher Chen, this person had the same stink as Fang Dongquan some time ago, and although he was rude and didn't know a single big word, he was born as a butcher and he was also considered to be powerful, especially the pig-killing knife with one hand was very smooth.
When he escaped from Lijiazhuang before, he also relied on a pig-killing knife from Butcher Chen, and escaped from the encirclement with Li Xuan, Mrs. Bai and others.
As the saying goes, there are no fish and shrimp in the river, and there is no other suitable candidate, Butcher Chen, an unreliable candidate, has become the most suitable candidate.
At this time, the two sides in front of them were getting closer and closer, two hundred steps, one hundred steps, and finally dozens of steps, at this time, in a group of bandits in Huangzhu Mountain, several bandits from Orion directly bent their bows and arrows, and shot out several sharp arrows in an instant.
These hunters have good archery skills, although the bow in their hands is not a strong bow, but it is accurate, and these sharp arrows directly hit the three people.
One of them was even pierced through the chest by a sharp arrow, fell directly to the ground, and then couldn't get up.
However, at this time, the bandits on the opposite side also bent their bows and arrows, and the sharp arrows they shot also hit the two bandits on the side of Huangzhushan.
At this time, the people in the front row of the two sides were already very close, and the distance between the two sides was only about ten steps, and then you could see Butcher Chen waving an enlarged version of the pig-killing knife, and rushed in directly shouting, and met a strong man bandit opposite.
Butcher Chen didn't have any extra moves, and directly slashed over, and the bandit raised his knife to block, but buter, Butcher Chen's body was strong, and the pig-killing knife in his hand was even thicker.
At this time, the bandits who originally stayed by Li Xuan's side as guards also kept up with Butcher Chen's pace, and their long knives were vigorous.
At the same time, among the bandits on the opposite side, the short and sturdy second master also rushed up with two or three people each with the scar man.
It didn't take long for Butcher Chen and the others to meet the scar man and the second master, and then they fought separately.
For a while, the battle between them was extremely fierce, and the sky and the earth changed color.
However, although the battle between several of them was fierce, the battle between other people was a bit of a child's play.
Some of the people in the front row are okay, they will fight each other a few times, but they don't really dare to rush up to fight, they are all separated by several meters, it is said to be fighting, it is better to say that it is a confrontation, at most, someone occasionally takes advantage of the wooden stick in his hand or something to poke in the opposite side, but people are absolutely not forward.
As for the people in the back row, they did not step forward at all, but brandished swords, hoes, and sickles, and shouted with a look of generosity and sorrow:
"Second master, come on!"
"Brother Scar, hack them to death!"
"General Chen is mighty!"
"Brother Liu, be careful!"
Looking at this scene, Li Xuan, who was watching the battle from behind, was quite speechless, and then turned his head to look at Liu Bagou: "Prime Minister, are they fighting like this?" ”
Liu Bagou looked at the battle in front of him, with a puzzled look on his face: "Your Majesty, isn't this battle fought like this?" ”
"It's a fart, at this scale, it's not even a large-scale fight!" Li Xuan was speechless in his heart, but naturally he would not say such words.
At this time, Qian Mengjiu on the side said: "General Chen is really brave, one enemy and three armies!" ”
Just as Li Xuan and Liu Bagou were talking, they suddenly heard a voice from the front: "Okay, General Chen is really powerful!" ”
This, going down further, I saw that Butcher Chen was covered in blood, and the scarred man who had fought with him before was retreating again and again, but his left hand was gone, and his broken arm was spraying blood out, and at the same time he screamed, and then it seemed that because of the severe pain, he finally couldn't stand on his feet after taking a few steps back, and then fell to the ground.
Butcher Chen stepped forward, without the slightest hesitation, as if killing a pig, the pig-killing knife in his hand went in and out, and it stabbed the man with the scar who fell.
Seeing this, the short and sturdy second master on the side immediately shook off a capable bandit from Huangzhushan who was fighting with him, then quickly turned around, and then shouted: "Pierce your hands, big guy go!" ”
said, I didn't care about the bandits behind me, I just ran away, and those bandits also reacted quickly, and they were still fighting to shake off their opponents and turn around and run away, as for those who were watching the show, it was simpler, just turn around and run.
At this time, Butcher Chen stood with a knife and shouted: "Chase! ”
The many bandits in Huangzhushan who were watching the play in the back row finally gave full play to the nature of the bandits, and chased after them one by one, without the slightest appearance of being cowardly and afraid to step forward before, as if the heavenly soldiers were as fierce as descending to earth.
But they were the fastest, and they ran faster, and in the blink of an eye, those bandits ran out hundreds of meters away, and after a while, the bandits on the opposite side had already run away.
This will be Butcher Chen waved his hand in high spirits: "Collect the troops, let's go back!" ”
At the same time, Liu Bagou said to Li Xuan: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, this time General Chen has defeated the thief army, strengthened my Tang Dynasty's prestige, and swept Kyushu is just around the corner!" ”
Li Xuan was speechless: Didn't you just repel the enemy in a child's play-like small-scale fight, and also shocked the universe and swept Kyushu!
Those who don't know hear it, probably think that they have defeated hundreds of thousands of troops and won a strategic victory that determines the ownership of the world.
It didn't take long for Li Xuan to see Butcher Chen and everyone who had returned from a big victory.
I saw that the butcher Chen, who had not dried up the blood on his body, walked in front of Li Xuan and knelt down and said, "The minister has not dishonored his mission and has repelled the thief army!" ”
Although the previous battle was a bit child's play, it made Li Xuan have a little change in his opinion of Butcher Chen, this person is really a fierce man who can't die.
In the previous battle, he alone killed two enemy soldiers, accounting for two-thirds of all kills in this battle.
That's right, they won a brilliant victory in this battle of national fortunes, killing three enemy soldiers, wounding several and capturing three.
"General Chen has worked hard!" Li Xuan said to Butcher Chen with a kind face.
"Your Majesty, what should you do with these captives, do you want to kill them directly?" At this time, one of Li Xuan's guards stepped forward and said.
As soon as he said this, the three bandit captives who were pressed by others were in an uproar, and one of them, a middle-aged man wearing a long robe, a beard, and a sneaky face, knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, spare your life!" ”
