Chapter 229: Heads-up
Zhang Liao rushed to Duan Xuan, turned over and dismounted, and bowed to salute.
"General, when two armies fight, the victory or defeat is not a contest between one or two people, but whether they can destroy the enemy's ......"
Duan Xuan squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Liao, silent. The righteous servants beside him also had sarcastic eyes, as if looking at an idiot. Zhang Liao closed his mouth in disdain, turned around and prepared to leave. After he walked more than a dozen steps, Duan Xuan raised his voice and said, "Thank you Wenyuan for your advice, keep it in mind." ”
Zhang Liao turned around and clasped his fists in salute. "The general's words are serious, how dare Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao returned to the battle to prepare for battle, but the general obeyed. ”
Duan Xuan snorted lightly, noncommittal. When Zhang Liao saw it, he was also a little annoyed, stopped talking, kicked the horse's belly lightly, and galloped away. When he returned to his battle formation, he dismounted and put on his belt again, with a long knife at his waist, put on a bow and arrows, and then turned on his horse and stretched out his hand.
"Here comes the halberd!"
The guard handed over the halberd. Zhang Liao received the halberd in his hand, his wrist shook, and he stabbed twice, and the halberd trembled, buzzing, and it was a long time. Zhang Liao sighed. "I didn't expect to be a fighting general today, and only by killing Sun Ce can I be ashamed."
Zhang Liao's brother Zhang Pan scolded hatefully: "What is he so proud of, isn't it just because he is from Liangzhou." Dong Zhuo acted perversely, and one day he would be punished by God, and when the time came, he would kill all the people of Liangzhou to see if he could still be proud. ”
Zhang Liao lowered his face and shouted, "Brother! Are you going to kill us all? ”
Zhang Fan's mouth was closed, but his eyes were still fierce. Zhang Liao turned to look at the guards beside him. "You all shut your mouths for me. We have come all the way here to repay the country and seek wealth and nobility, and we should not learn from those Confucian scholars who cause trouble because of their words, destroy their bodies and destroy their families, and it is useless for the country. ”
"Whoa." The guards agreed with each other, but they were not neat. Zhang Liao wanted to reprimand them, but looking at the unwillingness in their eyes, he couldn't bear to say more. Along the way, they have suffered too many grievances.
At this time, the trumpets of the Chinese army sounded. Zhang Liao tightened the spear in his hand and was about to ride his horse into battle, but found that a horse rushed out of the Chinese army formation and went straight to the opposite side. Zhang Liao's face suddenly turned red, and Duan Xuan was about to change people, but he refused to tell him just now, which was really hateful.
Seeing that someone from the Chinese army on the opposite side was fighting, Huang Zhong smiled secretly in his heart. When Sun Ce said that Duan Xuan might send others to fight, he didn't believe it very much, but now the situation is the same as Sun Ce said, and he can't help but admire Sun Ce for being like a god. He took the long sword from the guard, kicked his mount lightly, and stepped forward.
The two sides stopped more than ten steps apart, Huang Zhong grabbed his mount, and asked loudly: "Nanyang Huang Zhong is here, who is coming?" ”
The other party also reined in his mount, speared with one hand, and said loudly: "Longxi Yang Cheng, come to meet Sun Ce, you are not my opponent, let Sun Ce come." ”
Huang Zhong sneered: "It turned out to be from Liangzhou, but he was just relying on Dong Zhuo's power to fake the tiger, how could he be the opponent of my general." My general is a young hero, with excellent martial arts, and the only people who can be his opponents are Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, the heroes of Bingzhou, and the rest are not enough. Go back, let Zhang Liao come, no one else can. ”
Yang Cheng was furious. "How can the people of Bingzhou be compared with my Liangzhou people, you Shandong rats are short-sighted and have no beads, Lu Bu is just that, Zhang Liao dares to be called a hero so much. Come on, come on, let me kill you, and then challenge Sun Ce. ”
Yang Cheng patted the horse and danced the spear, and took Huang Zhong directly. Huang Zhong did not show weakness and raised his knife to face the battle. The knives and spears intersected, and with a crisp sound of "dang", sparks splashed everywhere. As soon as the connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was any, and in one round, Huang Zhong took out Yang Cheng's martial arts, knowing that although this person had some courage, he was not his opponent. But not long after he practiced riding combat, he was lacking an opponent, and he didn't dare to let go of such an opportunity, so he put away five points of strength and slashed a sword.
Yang Cheng dodged and dodged, and the two of them passed by mistake.
While speaking, the two stood together, raising their swords and spears together, killing inseparably.
After watching two rounds, Sun Ce knew Huang Zhong's intentions and immediately ordered to play it. The musicians played hard, and the momentum was majestic. When Huang Zhong heard this, he was grateful in his heart, and he was even more energetic, and he added two points of strength to his hand, and he killed Yang Chengjie and retreated. In the blink of an eye, more than ten times, Huang Zhong shouted loudly and beheaded Yang Cheng under the horse.
Yang Cheng turned over and fell off the horse, and the mount ran out of more than ten steps, slowed down, lowered his head, and snorted. Yang Cheng crawled on the ground covering his wounds, leaving blood all the way, slowly weakened, and fell to the ground. Blood gushed out and soaked the dirt.
Huang Zhong raised his knife, pointed directly at the Xiliang people opposite, and shouted: "Who else?" ”
Duan Xuan's face turned pale. He originally wanted to send his subordinate warriors to fight, stealing the limelight from Zhang Liao and not letting him contact Sun Ce, but he didn't even think that he wouldn't even see Sun Ce's face, so he broke one person first. At this time, Zhang Liao must not be allowed to fight, otherwise he will inevitably be looked down upon by the people of Bingzhou. He turned around and shouted, "Whoever can behead this person will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan!" ”
"I'm coming!" One of the guards responded loudly, kicked his horse and rushed out of the battle formation, heading straight for Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong didn't say a word, he didn't even report his name, he patted the horse to meet the battle, and without counting, he was slashed under the horse again.
In a moment, Huang Zhong slashed two Liangzhou warriors in a row. Sun Ce was happy in his heart, and ordered someone to beat the drum to cheer for Huang Zhong and provoke the other party. The soldiers were overjoyed when they saw Huang Zhong's bravery, and cheered according to the plan, and Huang Zhong's subordinates even scolded the Liangzhou rats in unison, demanding that Zhang Liao, a warrior from the state, go to war.
Duan Xuan regretted it, he knew that this was the case, so he listened to Zhang Liao's suggestion, should not be challenged by Sun Ce, and started to fight directly, now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and Huang Zhong beheaded two warriors in a row, morale was frustrated, and even the people of Liangzhou were insulted, if Huang Zhong was not defeated, even if he won the battle, he could not win back his dignity. And Liang is a border county, and Qianghu is connected, so that he can hear about it with courage, and would rather die in battle than be humiliated, and face is very important. The people of Bingzhou have Lu Bu, who has already suppressed the people of Liangzhou, and now they are occupied by the Kwantung people, how can they bear it.
However, Huang Zhongzhi's courage is obvious to all, and he searches for his subordinates, and it seems that he can't find a warrior who can be more powerful than Yang Cheng and others. Duan Xuan was suspicious in his heart, could it be that Zhang Liao and Sun Ce colluded and deliberately wanted to break the sharpness of my Liangzhou people? If it weren't for that, how did this Sun Ceyuan know that Zhang Liao was brave when he was far away in Nanyang?
There must be a conspiracy in this.
Duan Xuan thought about it, called Yang Quan, the guard, and confessed a few words. Yang Quan received the order, rode his horse to Zhang Liao, and bowed.
"Captain Zhang, General Duan ordered you to go to battle and kill Huang Zhong."
Seeing that Yang Cheng and the others were killed in succession, Zhang Liao knew that Duan Xuan had already ridden the tiger and had no choice but to let himself fight. But no matter whether he wins or not, the hostility between the people will not lessen, but will only increase. Sun Ce is deliberately provoking trouble, it's really hateful, and he will kill him if he is injured later, otherwise he can't solve the doubts in Duan Xuan's heart.
"Obey the general's orders."
Zhang Liao gave up his hand, but Yang Cheng did not leave, but turned the horse's head, looking like he was going to accompany Zhang Liao into battle. Zhang Liao knew it in his heart, so he didn't say anything, and spurred into battle. Yang Cheng followed closely, and the two came to the front of the formation. Zhang Liao didn't speak, galloped on his horse, and took Huang Zhong straight with his halberd.
