Chapter 19: Opening and Closing
Guan Yu rode majestically on his horse, and the hard iron hooves of the "Black Panther" stepped across the battlefield filled with gunpowder. He was followed by Yao Taihe, who was also on a horse, empty-handed and pale. General Yao has witnessed the wolf-like tiger of the Red Turban Army more than once, and although his own army is trapped and fighting, it is difficult to escape the tragic end of destruction. He even rejoiced in his heart, fortunately he was a prisoner, and now his treatment has improved, and he has food and drink, otherwise he may have his own fat figure in the corpses scattered all over the mountains.
A war horse hurriedly came running, and Du Zhongnian's face on the horse was slightly sweaty, and the long knife placed on the side of the horse's back was still dripping with bright red blood stains. He clasped his fists and saluted Guan Yu and said: "General Guan, the enemy army still has thousands of defeated remnants fleeing in the south, will our army raise troops to pursue?" ”。
Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "No need, poor Kou Mo chase!" The brethren were also tired, so they cleaned up the battlefield and found a place to set up camp. Send someone to contact General Ruan and Brother Bai Qian to find out their specific location. General Ben felt that the enemy forces had been shrinking too rapidly recently, and that he was afraid that some conspiracy was brewing. ”
Du Zhongnian smiled: "What conspiracy can they have? The last general thinks they are scared by us! ”。
Before the words fell, a war horse galloped in the distance. The man on the horse, with three sharp arrows stuck in his back, swayed from side to side on the horse, and looked like he was crumbling at any time. It wasn't until they got closer that everyone saw that it was a herald in the camp of Guan Yu's headquarters.
When the people approached, they clenched their fists with difficulty and said: "Tell General Guan, on the orders of General Zhang, his subordinates risk death to break through the siege and report: General Zhang led our troops to be besieged by the enemy twice as large as our army on the front line of Gufengkou, and is currently in a difficult situation. ”
Guan Yu raised his hand and called the soldier Langzhong, clasped his fists and said to the herald: "Little brother has worked hard, you go down to rest and heal your injuries first, and I will discuss countermeasures immediately." After speaking, he turned over and dismounted, waved his hand to get Du Zhongnian, Yao Taihe and others together, and spread out the rudimentary military map.
"Here". Yao Taihe, who was familiar with the terrain, stretched out his hand and pointed.
Guan Yu quickly estimated the distance between the two sides, stood up and said, "It seems that the Tiger Battalion has changed its tactics and wants to concentrate superior forces to break our army individually. It is no wonder that in the previous battles, our army attacked the city and plundered the land, and the momentum was like a bamboo. Send a herald to inform General Nguyen Vu, and lead his troops to gradually move closer to the direction of Gu Fengkou. Our infantry brothers will no longer pursue the remnants of the enemy, rest on the spot, and set off tomorrow under the leadership of the middle-aged brother. Brethren of the cavalry, set out with me at once, and hurried to the valley peak pass overnight. ”
He turned around and said to Yao Taihe: "You go with me, you are familiar with the environment, and be a guide for us." Eating and drinking me for so long should be rewarded! ”。
Yao Taihe scratched his head in embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I will only lead the way, not the war." ”
Guan Yu happily patted his fat shoulder and said, "No problem, if you want to fight, I have to weigh it carefully, don't let you hit me with a flying hammer again." ”
Zhang Baiqian had no cowardice in the face of an enemy twice as large as himself, and opened and closed with a big gun, picking up two enemy generals. The soldiers under General Guan, who had experienced countless battles, were even more vigorous, completely ignoring the large number of enemy troops, and repelled several fierce attacks by the opponent.
Yang Ming, who personally supervised the battle, had a liver ache. He had planned to abandon some inconsequential cities and concentrate his superior forces to swallow this bandit in one gulp. Who knew that the opponent was not only difficult to swallow, but also broke his two big teeth. However, it is difficult to ride a tiger at present, if we cannot eliminate this group of bandits in a short period of time and quickly free up our hands, once the other two bandits come to kill, the tiger camp will face the danger of collapse on the whole line.
As night fell, the warring sides gathered their troops and returned to their camps. Yang Mingyi was alone in the big tent of the Chinese army, turning back and forth like an ant on a hot pot.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, Jiang Shoufu stepped in. Without saying a word, he gave a deep salute to Yang Mingyi.
Yang Mingyi said eagerly: "Jiang Shoufu can have any good strategy to break the enemy?" ”
Jiang Qiliang said flatly: "When the battle is on this, any conspiracy and trickery are useless, what is fighting is the hard power of both sides." At present, our army still has an absolute advantage, but the opponent's main general is well planned and has excellent martial arts, so we have to find someone stronger than him to deal with it! ”。
Yang Mingyi nodded and said: "Today, my father also saw it, this guy picked up my two generals, and his marksmanship was too domineering!" Who in our army can hold him down? ”。
Jiang Qiliang took a step forward and said, "Why did Grandpa Guo forget?" For our army has repeatedly made war exploits before, Nie Yunniang, who has attacked the city and pulled out the village, has a sharp sword technique, and is invincible! ”。
Yang Mingyi was stunned for a moment, then sighed and shook his head: "After locking her up for so many days, she must hate her father so much that she wants to kill me, how can she contribute to her father?" And if she is released, it is not the same as letting the tiger go back to the mountain, who knows what she will do in a fit of anger? ”。
Jiang Qiliang sighed and said: "I have long advised Grandpa Guo not to cut off his siblings, the enemy is current, the overall situation is important, you don't listen!" If the deputy leader was on the battlefield today, leading her subordinates and her fierce sword skills, I am afraid that our army would have eaten this bandit and turned to another place! ”。
Looking at Grandpa Guo's sad appearance, Jiang Qiliang said: "The minister has a plan, which can make the deputy leader's resentment gradually disappear, turn the conflict with Grandpa Guo into jade silk, and take the initiative to invite Ying to go into battle to kill the enemy!" It's just that Grandpa Guo wants to put down his body and suffer some grievances. ”
Yang Mingyi said proudly: "But if you can exterminate the bandits, what does it matter if my father is wronged?" ”。
Jiang Qiliang nodded and said, "In that case, Grandpa Guo came over with his ears." ”
"Oops, you tap." Chen Ling'er screamed in pain. The senior sister who was standing behind her and bent down to help her apply the medicine was dissatisfied: "Do you know that it hurts at this time? If you had begged for forgiveness from your master earlier, why would you have suffered such an unwarranted disaster and suffered from this flesh and skin?! ”
Chen Ling'er rested her pointed chin on her two jade arms and smiled embarrassedly. Her face was still slightly pale, and beads of sweat oozed from her pointed nose.
"You dead girl is so shameless, what's so good about that little thief? It's so obsessed and desperate. The senior sister looked at the terrible scars on her back and said hatefully.
Chen Ling'er flashed her long eyelashes and said softly: "He's not good at all, sometimes he's bad!" However, I can feel his kindness from the bottom of his heart, and there is a very warm and down-to-earth feeling with him. Sometimes I'm about to be angry with him, but a few words from him make me feel very happy! ”
The senior sister put down the ointment, clasped her hands together and said, "Amitabha, what is it that you have not fallen into the devil's path?" ”
Chen Ling'er smiled slightly, and still said without hesitation: "Do you know, senior sister, last time this bad guy sneaked up on my acupoint, and went up to Yunkong Mountain alone to face all kinds of masters. I suddenly felt as if my heart had been hollowed out, and I kept scolding him with tears in my eyes. If he dies, I don't know what other reason I have to live. ”
The senior sister covered her ears with a red face, and said angrily: "I think the master still beat you lightly!" After making you think about it, you still think about it all day long! ”。
Chen Ling'er stuck out her tongue and closed her mouth obediently.
The senior sister picked up the ointment again and rubbed it in her palm, while sighing softly: "If you really have a relationship with that thief, with your kung fu, you can sneak down the mountain, why bother to provoke the master to be angry?" ”。
Chen Ling'er frowned and said, "Mrs. Shi has the grace of nurturing and teaching me, how can I say goodbye without saying goodbye?" Besides, I also want to get the blessing of her old man. ”
When the senior sister heard this, she exerted some strength in her hands, and Chen Ling'er, who was in pain, bared her teeth and sweated profusely.
"Now it's okay, you don't want to go!"
Chen Ling'er said confidently: "I believe that bad guy will come to save me!" If he doesn't come for a day, I'll wait for him, if he doesn't come for a year, I'll wait for him for a year, and if he doesn't come for a lifetime, I'll wait for him! ”。
Nie Yunniang opened her eyes slightly, and in the dim light, she saw Jiang Shoufu bowing his head and bending over.
She sat up slightly, pulling at the chains, and the leg cuffs rattled and rattled.
"Why, has the hour come? Is this going to pull me out and behead me? Nie Yunniang was expressionless and asked calmly.
"The deputy leader has misunderstood, and there is also a big misunderstanding between you and Grandpa Guo!" Jiang Shoufu said with a smile.
"What's the misunderstanding? He Yang Mingyi has long regarded Yun Niang as a thorn in his side! Nie Yunniang sneered.
Jiang Shoufu said angrily: "It was all Liu Ganting's traitorous villain who secretly provoked it, and now it has been revealed, and it has been investigated clearly." Grandpa Guo also regretted it, and ordered that Liu Ganting's villain be beheaded tomorrow to show the public, and Grandpa Guo will personally carry the head of that guy to make amends to the deputy leader! ”。
As he spoke, Jiang Shoufu waved his hand, and two soldiers stepped forward to open the shackles for Nie Yunniang.
Nie Yunniang sneered while moving her somewhat numb wrist: "Jiang Shoufu is not afraid that Yun Niang will run away if he does this?" ”。
Jiang Qiliang knelt down and saluted: "Where the deputy leader speaks, we are always a family." Moreover, General Feng Yong had already discovered the murderer of Nie Shilong. Didn't the deputy leader always want to avenge Brother Shilong? The opportunity is here! ”。
Nie Yunniang suddenly stood up and asked, "Where is the murderer?" ”。
Early the next morning, Liu Ganting was summoned to the big tent of the Chinese army. Before he understood what was going on, Yang Mingyi gave an order, and rushed up to several strong men left and right, and without saying a word, he tied him tightly and pushed him out of the tent.
Liu Ganting shouted in surprise: "Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Guo, what's going on?" The little one has always been loyal to you, and the sun, moon and world can be learned! ”。
Yang Mingyi waved his hand without raising his head, and Liu Ganting was dragged to the execution ground in a daze. When he saw the ghost-headed broadsword in the executioner's hand, he finally believed that he was not having a nightmare, and everything that happened in front of him was true!
Liu Ganting scolded: "Yang Mingyi, you bastard!" Shameless villain! Unload the mill and kill the donkey, cross the river and tear down the bridge! Lao Tzu will not let you go if he becomes a ghost! ”。
A cold silver light flashed, and Liu Ganting's head fell to the ground. His eyes were wide open, his mouth wide open, his eyes full of anger and helplessness.
Liu Ganting's head was packed in a wooden box, and Yang Mingyi hurriedly walked into the military tent where Nie Yunniang was held with his head bowed with the wooden box in his hand.
