Chapter 12 Unloading the mill and killing the donkey

Ma Maoxun's heart fell into cold despair. His eyes widened angrily, his eyes were full of fire, and he glared at Liu Qian and said loudly: "Liu Qian, as the king of a country, you unload the mill and kill the donkey, and you are so vicious!" Aren't you afraid of being scolded by everyone and laughed at by the world?! ”。

The Great Chu Emperor, who had been hiding far away, couldn't help grinning when he heard this, revealing a simple and honest face:

"Your Excellency has thought too much! First, outsiders have no way of knowing what happened tonight. Even if he knew, it would be the following statement: The Great Chu Holy Monarch is generous and benevolent, and he is very kind to Ma Dashuai and treats him as a guest. Unexpectedly, Ma Maoxun's wolf ambition and insatiable greed made him suddenly attack, in a vain attempt to kill the king and usurp the throne. Fortunately, the heavens have eyes, and the Holy Monarch is a true dragon protector, so he turned the tables on the spot and killed the traitor! Success and defeat, you must not know such a simple truth, right? ”。

"You...... You ......". Ma Maoxun trembled with anger and was speechless for a while.

He turned his head in despair and glanced at the generals who had followed him for many years, fighting in the north and south, and were unprepared. Before stepping into the palace gate, they had no weapons to carry weapons, just to go to a relaxed banquet.

Now, in the face of the sword full of death, even if you desperately resist with your bare hands, I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to escape. Even if you are lucky enough to escape from the main hall and the palace door is closed, there will be no way out.

Horizontal and vertical are all a death, it's better to give it a go! When it was too late, one of Ma Maoxun's generals suddenly shouted, turned around and pounced on a soldier, trying to snatch a sharp blade, protect his own commander, and rush out.

The prepared soldier retreated quickly, slashing at the same time with his sword. And more than a dozen soldiers next to him gritted their teeth and rushed up, raising their swords together, and immediately cut down the general of the Ma Jiajun to the ground.

In the chaos, Ma Maoxun flew up with a kick and kicked a killer holding a sword next to him directly out, and then lowered his head to dodge a steel knife that slashed at his head, reaching out and grabbing the opponent's wrist violently. There was a crisp "click", and the killer's wrist was broken, revealing a thin bone.

In the midst of a miserable howl, Ma Maoxun grabbed the knife with one hand, still grabbed the other party with the other, picked up his body as a weapon, and threw it out casually. Almost at the same time, he had been stabbed twice in the back. Enduring the sharp pain in his back, he jumped on the table, turned around and raised his knife to cut down several soldiers who rushed forward.

When I glanced back, I saw that several of my subordinates were struggling and falling in a pool of blood. And the poor Han Junshi who didn't know martial arts was already in a different place, lying on the ground motionless.

Ma Maoxun was burned inside, endured the pain, jumped up with the hard-won steel knife, and pounced on the Great Chu Emperor who was hiding far away and watching coldly.

His body was still in the air, and on the beam of the main hall, a row of black-clothed archers holding repeating crossbows suddenly stood up at the same time, aiming at him and firing at the same time.

A series of piercing whistling sounds sounded, followed by a scream of "ah", and Ma Maoxun, who was in the air, fell heavily to the floor. The crossbow pierced his thigh, and blood continued to drip down from the arrow.

Ma Maoxun was sweating profusely, and struggled for a moment with all his strength, but he still couldn't stand up.

At this time, the executioners behind him shouted wildly and rushed up, Ma Maoxun straightened his waist suddenly, opened his mouth and spurted a mouthful of blood. But three sharp swords were thrust through his back at the same time, piercing through his chest.

Ma Maoxun stared at the blood-red fire-breathing eyes, and finally glanced at the Great Chu Emperor who was watching the battle from a distance with a calm demeanor full of hatred, then opened his eyes and threw himself forward to the ground.

Although Mao Xianyi, who was in the camp, felt funny in his heart and made some of the extra moves, he still followed the instructions of the Han military division before leaving, and ordered the subordinate officers and soldiers in charge of night patrols to strengthen their vigilance.

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, and sure enough, the night was safe, Mao Xianyi took off his shoes and socks, and was about to lie down and rest. Suddenly, a captain in charge of patrolling rushed into the camp tent in a panic, and before he had time to kneel down and salute, he said loudly: "The little one is ordered by the capital commander, please General Mao quickly go to the camp gate to check, there is a situation outside!" ”。

Mao Xianyi didn't say a word, turned over and got up, and walked out of the camp with a sword in his hand.

In front of the wooden fence at the camp gate, a group of brothers who were patrolling the night had already gathered, looking at the darkness outside and pointing.

There is always a darkest time before dawn. When Mao Xianyi's eyes adapted to the darkness, and in the shadows, he also found some abnormalities. There was indeed a lot of stuff slowly wriggling in the darkness, quietly approaching the camp.

Mao Xianyi was holding his breath and observing intently, when a fire suddenly lit up on the opposite side, and the fire spread rapidly at an incredible speed, instantly turning into thousands of burning small flames.

"Whoosh whoosh" With a sharp whistling sound, arrows wrapped in velvet and fuel-soaked rockets soared into the sky and flew head-on towards them.

Mao Xianyi was taken aback, leaned down, and shouted: "Blow the horn, let the brothers get up quickly, a large number of men and horses have come to attack the camp!" ”。

Mao Xianyi desperately waved the sword in his hand, dialed the oncoming rocket, and ran back to the camp with his armor on his head.

When he rushed out of the camp again with a big knife in his hand, he found himself in a sea of fire, and around the camp, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled, shouting to kill the heavens.

One of the personal guards of the "Great Worm", who was on fire at the moment, ran in front of him with his mount in hand. Without saying a word, he flew on his horse, raised his long sword, and shouted, "Open the camp gates, brothers, and get on your horse quickly." Kill me and get out! ”。

"Brethren, now is the time to do good for your country! There are many of us, and we don't want to let go of any thief! ”。

Under the reflection of the blazing torches, Cheng Hongzhuo, the "Qinglong General", rode on a horse, holding a sword in his hand, and personally commanded his soldiers to surround the Ma soldiers and horses who rushed out of the sea of fire.

Since attaching to Tang Wannian, the deep-rooted king of Pingnan, and being secretly summoned by the saint several times, Cheng Hongzhuo finally got rid of the stigma of "demoting general" and truly entered the core of power in Dachu.

In accordance with the deployment made in advance, the three-way people and horses jointly composed of Tang Wannian, the king of Pingnan, Cheng Hongzhuo, the "Qinglong General", and the "Vermilion Bird General" Qiu Shengrong, had already surrounded the Ma Jiajun camp by night.

originally planned to attack suddenly, so that all the soldiers of the Ma family army would be buried in the fire, but there were still so many people who stayed up late in the middle of the night without sleeping. Coupled with the hasty action that was detected early, the number of people who actually died in the fire was much less than expected.

In order to show his loyalty to the Great Chu Shengshang and the King of Pingnan, the "Qinglong General" wore heavy armor and rushed to the front line to personally command.

Even more vigorous than the raging fire in the camp was the anger in the hearts of the soldiers of the Ma family army who broke out of the camp alive. originally planned to return to his hometown happily after dawn, but he was inexplicably plotted by someone, and many brothers were killed and injured. These stubborn hot-blooded men have put life and death aside at the moment, and only think about revenge.

The "hairy worm" has red eyes, and the crazy "wow" roars and waves the long knife, cutting people when they see them. He didn't have time to think about it, he just knew that since someone dared to come and attack the camp, Ma Dashuai who entered the palace was afraid that they would die! Ma Jiajun's "Five Tiger Generals", maybe he is still alive in the world at this time. Could it really be that the yin and yang weird Han Junshi was unfortunate to say it? Fuck it, kill one is enough, kill a pair to earn one, Lao Tzu fights with them!

Most of the subordinates of the "Qinglong General" were originally some wine bags and rice bags, and many of them were strong men who were temporarily brought in to make up the numbers. Although it has been a period of training, there are not many people in the team who have actually been on the battlefield and seen the bloody storm.

In the face of the soldiers of the Ma family army, who are strong in battle and full of anger in their chests, it can only be said that most of them have not done much good deeds in their ancestors and have not accumulated much yin virtue.

After barely holding on for a while, the subordinate soldiers and horses of the "Qinglong General" could not bear it and fell into a complete collapse. Many people cry for their fathers and mothers, carrying weapons and holding their heads. What's more, he didn't want any weapons, so he threw them on the ground and turned around to flee for his life.

In fact, this is a very clever approach, and anyone can figure it out: it is better to run with bare hands than with something, and the hope of survival is greatly improved.

The "Blue Dragon General" was furious, he rode on his horse, shouted desperately, and his voice was hoarse, and he did not receive the expected effect. In desperation, he urged his horse and brandished the sword in his hand to mercilessly slash his own deserters who did not listen to the call.

Cheng Hongzhuo's subordinate soldiers, although their combat effectiveness is a little worse, most of them should learn mathematics very well. Because they came to the conclusion of mental arithmetic in an instant: in the face of the crazy slashing of one person and the crazy slashing of a bunch of people, the probability of survival is greater if they rush to the former without hesitation!

The "Qinglong General" on the horse was staggered by the soldiers who fled from his side, full of depression but helpless, and could only smile bitterly in his heart.

Seeing that the other party was large in number but unable to form an army, the surviving soldiers of the Ma Jiajun were more confident, and at the same time let out an earth-shattering roar and rushed forward desperately.

On the other side, Tang Wannian, the king of Pingnan, who was riding on a horse and watching the battle from afar, began to sweat on his forehead at this moment. The saint once issued a death order: the Ma family army must be killed completely, and no one can be left alive! But now in this situation, it seems that they are about to break through the encirclement.

Tang Wannian frowned, and secretly scolded Cheng Hongzhuo in his heart: Lao Tzu wants to kill your second uncle and his eldest aunt! On weekdays, I look full of confidence, and there are five people and six people, how can I become a rice bucket when I fight? ! In case the Ma Jiajun's men and horses escape, what face do we have to face the saint?!

He held high the long knife in his hand, and while directing his men and horses to outflank him, he ordered the crossbowmen to constantly release arrows and shoot Ma Jiajun from behind.

Cheng Hongzhuo, the "Qinglong General" in the chaotic army, raised his head and found that an enemy general was close at hand. This person has a hideous face, like a fierce god, and his arrogance is very arrogant. The horses rushed left and right in the midst of the ten thousand armies, rampaged, opened their big mouths and screamed, and swept and slashed all the way with knives, as if they had entered a no-man's land.

"The thief will be rampant!".

"Qinglong General" Cheng Hongzhuo roared, urged the war horse under his crotch, raised the sword in his hand, and greeted him without hesitation.
