Chapter Twenty-Three: Dragons, Tigers, and Wolves
When the sky fell, on the battlefield near the city gate, the voice of Gongsun Zhi hovered in the sky, and the figures of horse thieves turned out of the arc from the left and right to gather and run wildly.
In the igniting firelight, the rumbling horse's hooves trampled on the blood and corpses, more than a hundred horses chased after the rear, led by the figure wearing a hundred flower robes, the beast face swallowing the head of the chain armor took the lead, and in a blink of an eye into the horse thieves who were detouring behind, when someone raised his hand to shoot the arrow with a bow and aim, a halberd chopped the horse thief with a bow and cut it into two sections, the war horse fell down with a sad sound, the purple gold crown shook for a moment, the horse under him jumped in an arc in mid-air, and several horse thieves around found the people behind him, turned around and pulled the bow, wanted to force the other party back, but in a blink of an eye, he lost his life and fell off the horse.
"I'm going to stop him." Gao Sheng yelled.
In the middle of the rush, Gongsun Zhi glanced at the rear and had already slashed a few horse thieves who had fallen behind, and scolded in his mouth: "You can't even stop Zhang Fei, and you still want to block Lu Bu?"
"What?" The wind and rain were too strong, and Gao Sheng didn't hear clearly.
Who is Lu Bu, Gongsun Zhi knows better than them, once whether it is novels, film and television, or operas, although most of them talk about the opposite, there is no doubt about his martial arts, and now the other party is like a sudden drill out of the canvas, he can experience the real horror of this life.
"The name will fight the world, I'll fuck you-"
The sound of boiling horses' hooves pierced through the rain curtain and spread behind him, and by this time, the dozen or so horse thieves who were not skilled in equestrianism had been eliminated, and the remaining more than 90 people were still running side by side with Gongsun Zhi.
... Woo... Woo... Oh...
The wolf howl blew in the rain curtain, and Gongsun Zhi raised his hands and turned his palms, and shouted: "Disperse, hunt them!" β
"Ho-"
A group of horse thieves side by side shouted wildly, pulled the reins and scattered to the left and right, and when they drew their bows and shot horizontally to the rear, the rear, mighty and tall, waved their halberds, and their voices were high-pitched and majestic: "Scatter, shoot back." β
More than 100 nearby iron horsemen drove the horses to disperse in silence, and they all pulled their longbows, pulling strings and letting go as they ran.
Whoosh β
The arrows flew across the sky, intersecting with each other, some of them colliding and falling to the ground in the middle of the process, or shooting in front of them and digging into the soil, only a few of them rubbing blood on the body.
Shaking his vision, he saw a horse thief fall from his horse with an arrow in the afterglow, Gongsun stopped his anger and looked at the roaring torrent behind him and made the same action, turned his hand and took the bow, and raised his arm to pass with an arrow.
Dingββ
The horse's hooves galloped, Lu Bu raised his hand to grasp it in the air, the arrow was nailed to his face for a moment, and when he held it in his hand, it snapped in his hand, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he hung Fang Tian's halberd on the side of the horse, turned out the bow and arrow, and pulled the bowstring tightly.
Drink lightly in his mouth: "Hold!! β
The arrow flew out with a whizz, and in the heavy rain, the arrow quickly forced the falling water droplets, dragging out a straight line and piercing the opponent's back.
Blood splashed, staining the wet fur red, and an arrow showed the end of the feather on Gongsun Zhi's shoulder, he gritted his teeth and roared: "Gao Sheng, next grass slope, you rush back to the White Wolf Plains and call everyone, I will take that guy to the grassland for a few circles." β
"But the chief... Your shoulder..."
Gongsun Zhi yelled: "Go quickly-"
The arrow whizzed again, this time nailed to the hilt of the sword, and bounced away for a moment, and as the party was descending the grassy slope, he rode his horse out of the group on a rainy night and headed for the wolf's den.
Whether it is in the formation, or in terms of equipment, and the number of people, Gongsun Zhi's side is unable to standardize the confrontation of the Han cavalry, and it can last until now, but Lu Bu has not yet had a red rabbit, or rather, the tactics he borrowed have played a certain role in delaying, the two sides are chasing on one side, the other side is on the run, occasionally shooting a few times, and there are scattered casualties and falling horses.
Lu Bu's real existence made Gongsun Zhi feel huge oppression in advance to a certain extent.
**********************************************************
The red flower hung with a drop of raindrops, and the majestic bell rang in the imperial city, the petals trembled slightly, and the water droplets rolled into the pool, causing ripples. Walking on the winding path paved with small stones in the Imperial Garden, figures reflected in the water one after the other, and some people coughed slightly.
"Your Majesty, watch out for your body, it's a little cold in spring, let's go into the palace." A tall and sturdy eunuch behind him, with thick eyebrows and a long face, whispered at this time to remind the current son who was walking in front of him.
The figure who walked slowly shook his hand and sighed: "My body, only I know, I'm afraid it won't work, I think I have been on the throne for twenty years, and at the end of the day, I realized that I had done a lot of things wrong." β
"Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and there are only some minor injuries and illnesses at the moment, or it won't be long before it will be fine." The Jianshuo who followed behind followed suit, and he was sincerely afraid.
Liu Hong's face was already a little sallow, he waved his hand, smiled at the little yellow door, and still walked slowly.
"I have too many things to do now, and I can't do it anymore, there is only one thing I can do now, I can't put it off any longer, you should know what I'm talking about, right?"
The eunuch walking behind him trembled, bowed his head and said, "The slave doesn't dare to carry the holy will." β
"You dare, the whole court dares, what are they saying behind their backs, do you think I don't know?" Liu Hong looked up at the spring day hanging on the roof, "...... One by one, I wish I was dead, I died, they have the skill of following the dragon, I don't want these people to be proud. β
Jian Shuo knelt on the ground in fright, "Your Majesty, Shenhou holds the soldiers and horses in the world... In case another prince is appointed... What if..."
"He daresβ"
The figure who turned around was furious, suddenly roared, and pointed to the sky, "This world is mine, and the prince is also mine, how dare he, the butcher, point fingers at this matter, and I will abolish him." β
"Yes...... General He is in a high position and has military power, so he will definitely obstruct it. β
Liu Hong lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment, and said hoarsely and in a low voice: "Then divide the power, divide the authority, I let you do this thing, if you can't do it, you can't pull your skin." β
"It's... Yes..."
Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo broke out in a cold sweat, and the seriously ill dragon was still a dragon.
......
The sky is remote, back to the north, the wind on the grassland is blowing, it is almost dusk, the outline of the hills is dim in the sky, the footsteps of people walk through the grass, there is a rustling sound, and the smell of blood is filled.
"Quickly rejuvenate the thighs of the horses......" Around the woods, people led the horses and shouted.
The voice was weak, someone came over and took out the bread and ate a few bites, and fed it to the horse's mouth stretched out beside him, most of the people around were like this, and the silence was mixed with the sound of panting. Gongsun Zhi was wrapped in several bandages, and the ribs, arms, and especially shoulders were the most seriously injured, and most of the more than 80 people around him were injured.
He took a sip of water, sat down on a fallen dead tree, and looked across the grassy slope where the same group of people rested, kneaded the horses, and ate.
"One day and one night..... Mother. yes, don't you....."
Opposite Gongsun Zhi's gaze, Lu Bu, who was also sitting there, put down the sheepskin bag, then clenched his fists, and stared at the figure looking at the opposite side, "If I have a good horse, how can I allow you and other thieves to run rampant." β
But on the other hand, he has identified with the strength of this wolf.
