Chapter 15: A Dilemma of Life and Death

Seeing General Yao waving his twin hammers in anger, rushing up with his teeth and claws, Guan Yu shouted: "Third brother dodge, let me come!" ”。

Then he raised his gun to meet him.

Ruan Wu was about to slap his horse forward, when he heard Guan Yu's shout, he was so happy to stand by and watch, turned around and led his subordinates to kill the besieged defenders. Yao Tai and these subordinates are very strong, although after several successive attritions, the number is less than 10,000, but none of them knelt on the ground and begged to surrender, facing an enemy several times their own, they roared wildly and rushed forward with their blades and desperately, without any cowardice.

After dozens of moves, General Yao's head began to dizzy, and he only felt that thousands of plum blossoms were falling in front of him, up and down, left and right, front and back, and void and reality. Could it be the legendary presbyopia premature attack? It shouldn't be, Lao Tzu is just in his thirties! He thought wildly as he gritted his teeth and sweated profusely.

The strength of the two copper hammers was extremely strong, and Guan Yu tried his best to avoid bumping into them, looking for gaps in the gaps. Another dozen moves passed, and at the moment when the panting General Yao's door opened, Guan Yu shook the spear in his hand and handed it over without hesitation. In a panic, Yao Tai and the two hammers returned to the wheel, wanting to make the fierce force simply knock the opponent's spear away. With a loud bang, the two big copper hammers collided together, shaking his arms numb, but the spear that pierced him had long since disappeared.

At this time, Guan Yu had withdrawn the gun in his hand, swung the gun into a stick, and with a "snap", it hit Yao Taihe's big waist. The moment General Yao fell off the horse, he used his strength to eat milk and threw the sledgehammer in his right hand towards Guan Yu. The big copper hammer with the whirring wind has nothing to do with the spring breeze, but it is also unstoppable. Guan Yu easily ducked with his head down, and the sledgehammer fell behind him, smashing a dirt pit into the ground.

General Yao, who was lying on the ground and was spitting dust out of his mouth, didn't wait to turn over, and was tied up into a big meat dumpling by more than a dozen foot soldiers who rushed forward. Seeing that the commander was captured, most of the defenders in the encirclement who had been killed and wounded were completely deflated, threw their weapons one after another, and knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands waiting to be taken prisoner.

At the end of the battle, Ruan Wu lightly picked up the reins of his horse and ran over, and said to Guan Yu with a smile: "Sixth brother, come into the city with me, and I, as a brother, will invite you to drink two cups." ”

Guan Yu clasped his fists and smiled: "No, when the Tiger Camp is destroyed, let's drink it in Qingzhou Mansion, there are still a lot of brothers waiting for me." Please remember the proposal of the younger brother, we are in touch with each other at any time, echoing each other, going hand in hand, don't be greedy and go deep. ”

Ruan Wu said with a smile: "Okay, sixth brother, count the third brother owes you a drink, go back and make up for it!" ”

Guan Yu shook his head and said, "You don't have to owe me, my little brother is trying to ask you for something." ”

Ruan Wu looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "I knew that you kid wouldn't suffer!" Say, what do you want? It's easy to say anything but artillery. ”

Guan Yu waved his gun and pointed at Yao Taihe, who was still squeaking and screaming when he was pressed to the ground, and said, "Give him to me." ”

Ruan Wu turned his head to look at it and sneered: "He, he is a dead man here with me, you can take it away!" ”。

Guan Yu led some of his men and horses to walk slowly, and General Yao, who was stuffed in the prisoner car, shouted: "Little white face, if you want to kill you, I will have a good time with grandpa!" If you frown, you are not a good man. ”

Guan Yu drove over from the front of the team, tilted his head and stared at Yao Taihe and said, "Are you in such a hurry to die?" General Ben won't kill you! ”。

General Yao reprimanded: "Could it be that you want to recruit me? Uncle, I am iron-clad and will never surrender! ”

Guan Yu smiled: "Did I say I was going to recruit you?" I think very highly of myself, and I am amorous! You must have a big fat man's appetite, how much food do you have to waste to surrender? General Ben just wants to keep you and let you see for yourself how we wiped out the Tiger Battalion. After speaking, he no longer paid attention to the angry General Yao, and ran to the front of the team again.

Yao Taihe closed his eyes like a deflated ball, closed his mouth, and bowed his head silently.

In the early morning of the second day after Guan Yu left, the reinforcements of the real Huben battalion rushed to the city of Suzhou. The commander-in-chief, Che Siyuan, saw the flag of the Red Turban Army fluttering on the head of the city, and gritted his teeth with hatred. After a short rest, he commanded the team to attack the city with all its might. General Ruan Wu, who was not in a hurry, did the same, and brought up the same way that General Yao had dealt with him, and added an even more ruthless trick: he ordered people to push the cannon up to the top of the city and bombard it condescendingly. The shells bloomed in the crowd, and a large number of casualties were killed and injured when a shell went down, and the owner of the car who was besieging the city could not stand it anymore and took the initiative to withdraw three miles away, and the two sides temporarily fell into a stalemate.

Under the persuasion of everyone, Zhai Longbiao finally agreed to return to Pingzhou to recuperate from his wounds, and the troops were temporarily handed over to General Guan's command. Guan Yu handed over his subordinates to Zhang Baiqian for unified scheduling, and he brought his personal guards to temporarily take over Zhai Longbiao's men and horses together with Du Zhongnian. Fortunately, when he first joined the Red Turban Army, Guan Yu was under Zhai Longbiao, and he was quite familiar with his subordinates, and no one dared to disobey him in command and dispatch. General Yao was still stuffed in the prisoner car and followed around to see the scenery, he simply put on a posture of a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, let the wind blow and the waves, I will lie on my stomach and not move!

Yang Mingyi, the Duke of Zhongguo, led the support troops and the supervision team to join Nie Yunniang. That night, he ordered Nie Yunniang to ride alone to the Shuai tent to discuss the military.

Nie Yunniang came at the invitation and opened the curtain of the tent, the candlelight in the tent was dim, and there were only two people, Zhongguo Gong and Jiang Shoufu. Obviously, the two had a fierce argument just now, Yang Mingyi's face was not good, and Jiang Shoufu was out of breath.

Seeing Nie Yunniang enter, Yang Mingyi barely squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Yunniang has worked hard!" I heard that you stabbed the head of the thief. It has played the majesty of my tiger camp, which is gratifying. However, why not go all out and completely defeat this group of red turban bandits? ”

Nie Yunniang hugged her fists and said: "This time the enemy army is fierce, and once they fight, they find that their combat power is amazing. Although it slightly weakened its spirit, our army also suffered heavy losses, and forcibly attacked, only fearing that the jade would be burned, so we temporarily withdrew our troops and made plans for the next day. ”

Yang Mingyi sneered: "So the deputy leader is reluctant to bring out the people and horses he brought out before, to preserve his strength, and to have other plans?" ”

Nie Yunniang was stunned, completely confused. Turned his face to look at Jiang Shoufu, who had a gloomy expression, and wondered in his heart: What's the matter? This guy surnamed Yang didn't take the medicine when he came out today, or did he take the wrong medicine? He raised his head again and said in surprise to Zhongguo Gong: "How can you say this?" ”。

Yang Mingyi smiled coldly, did not answer, but turned his head and ordered: "You come out!" ”。

Out of the darkness came Liu Ganting, who had a wicked smile on his face. He first knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Mingyi, then got up and bent down to salute Nie Yunniang: "I have seen the deputy leader." ”

Nie Yunniang glanced at him proudly and ignored him. angrily shouted to Zhongguo Gong: "Yang Mingyi, the strong enemy is now, you have to listen to the villain's slander!" If it weren't for the fact that you have repeatedly expressed that surrendering to the Great Qi Imperial Court is just an expedient measure, sooner or later you will set up a rebellion. And I am also bent on avenging the death of Shilong, so I have already left with my brothers! Don't think that you secretly transferred away from my right-hand man and installed the dirty tricks of your own cronies, Yun Niang, I don't know it! ”。

Zhongguo Gong bounced up from his seat with a sallow face, and roared: "Nie Yunniang, you have always been arrogant and arrogant, and you have no eyes!" Don't think that you are secretly in touch with the bandits, and you don't know what the red turban bandits are doing on the side! ”。

Nie Yunniang was first angry, then her eyes turned red, and she shook her head lightly and sighed sadly: "I really missaw you at the beginning to lead the troops to join!" You have vowed to destroy the traitors and save the people. Today, it seems that you are just a small-minded rat, how have you ever thought about the world?! ”

Yang Mingyi was completely furious and shouted: "Someone! ”。 The knife and axe men who had already been ambushed rushed up and surrounded Nie Yunniang in the center.

At this time, Jiang Qiliang, who had been silent, suddenly cried and shouted: "Grandpa Guo, deputy leader, I beg you two!" At present, the great enemy should work together to tide over the difficulties. Don't talk too much! Don't do things perfectly! ”。

With that, he fell to his knees. "Knock knock" kowtowed like pounding garlic, and Yang Mingyi and Nie Yunniang were silent.

After a while, Nie Yunniang sighed deeply and said lightly: "So far, I don't need to explain. Tomorrow he will lead his troops to leave. Don't worry, I will never go to the Red Turban Army to fight against you! ”。

Before the words fell, I only heard a loud "bang". Jiang Qiliang, who was hazy with tears, raised his head in surprise and found that Nie Yunniang had fallen softly beside him. Liu Ganting, who was holding a wooden stick, smiled evilly, and said proudly in his heart: When Lao Tzu was refining, he did this every day, and it was our old business to fight a stuffy stick and engage in sneak attacks!

Jiang Qiliang's face was full of anger, and he trembled and pointed at Liu Ganting and scolded: "You despicable villain, what are you going to do?" Sincerity ruined my tiger camp?! ”。

Liu Ganting didn't bother to pay attention to him, raised his head and said to Zhongguo Gong: "Grandpa Guo, take this opportunity to --- this little girl" He made a gesture of cutting off his head evilly.

Jiang Qiliang knelt forward a few steps desperately, and said with red eyes: "Grandpa Guo, don't do it, don't do it!" Not to mention that there is no evidence that she is collaborating with bandits and arsoning with the enemy, even if the evidence is conclusive, there are tens of thousands of die-hard soldiers under her command in front of her, once she mutinies, my tiger battalion will kill each other, and there is no need for bandits to do it, our army will collapse and be wiped out! ”。

At this time, Yang Mingyi's anger was much less, he frowned, hesitated, and paced back and forth.

Liu Ganting took a step forward, knelt down to salute, and was about to speak. Jiang Qiliang unceremoniously pointed at him and scolded angrily: "You shut up for me, bastard thing!" The lives of the tens of millions of soldiers in my Tiger Camp must not be destroyed in your hands! Grandpa Guo's grand plan and hegemony can't be destroyed in your hands! ”。

Liu Ganting was choked, but he couldn't have a seizure, and retreated to the side in a funny way.

Yang Mingyi, who had been thinking about it for a long time, finally stopped, turned around, and gritted his teeth to announce his final decision.
