One hundred and forty-four episodes of people and things in Nanchengguo (3) Cheng Ke VS Meng Tian

The Qin army, which had been lying in ambush near the Beiyan camp, was waiting for the opportunity, and Meng Yi observed that the Xiongnu army had never shown any signs of wanting to come to the rescue, and he did not know why this army was sitting idly by and ignoring the affairs in the east.

Meng Yi planned to lead the army to take the initiative to defeat them, but after seeing that this army was strong, he dispelled this idea, so he had to continue to order the soldiers and horses to stay still.

North Wolf City East Station

In a room on the second floor of the post station, Zhang Tianhun had already finished hunting and sold it for some money, and he took several of his men to sit in the room waiting for Le Jia and others who had not yet come back from chopping wood.

Zhang Tianhun said to everyone: "When we came to this place, we thought it was a very desolate town, but we didn't expect the city center to be so prosperous, which has a different scenery from other towns."

A lieutenant said: "The general is right, there are many such two-story buildings in the center of this city, and it seems that this city can be regarded as a relatively large town in the entire Nancheng country."

"This Northern Wolf City was originally a city of Qin, a hundred years ago when the Qin State and the Six Eastern Kingdoms were at war, it was seized by the northern minorities, and then the Xiongnu were attached to the Xiongnu after the same desert south and north desert, but there is still a strong Central Plains color here, and it is the largest commercial and trade town in the South Cheng Country, but unfortunately this North Wolf City is going to change hands again, I hope that the most prosperous area of the South Cheng Country will not turn into a scorched earth."

At this time, the door slowly opened, and a person walked to Zhang Tian's side while talking.

Zhang Tianhun saw that it was Le Jia and his party who came back, and said to Le Jia: "Brother Le, what do you mean by this."

"Brother Zhang, it turns out that you don't know yet, the Qin army is about to break through the southern defense line of Nancheng Kingdom, and this Northern Wolf City is the southernmost city in the entire Nancheng Kingdom, and it will definitely be broken soon."

After speaking, Le Jia said: "I inquired about the leader of the army to attack Meng Tian, I had some friendship with him in the early years, I think there are not too many defenders in this city, it is better for us to find a way to take it and then take refuge in Meng Tian, so that he can say good things for us in front of the King of Qin to pardon us."

"No, according to the laws of Qin, it is already a very serious crime to flee after defeat, we actually left Qin and fled to the territory of the Xiongnu, and the king of Qin knew that we both had to lose our heads."

Hearing this, Le Jia also felt that there was some reason, so he asked, "Then what does the general think we should do now?"

"I look at the upper-level figures in the entire Nancheng country, the prime minister Qiang Lei and Qu Shuai Beiyan are the most powerful, Qiang Lei is engaged in politics and people's livelihood, we must be of little use under him, and Beiyan is the person who leads the army, we must be useful, it is better for us to take refuge in him."

Lejia nodded and said, "That's a good idea, he's stationed on the west side of the southern defense line now, let's go to him now."

Then the group began to pack their belongings, and when everything was ready, they quickly left the city.

On the southern border of Nancheng Kingdom, the Qin army had completely defeated the Xiongnu, and the Qin army under the leadership of several captains continued to pursue and kill the defeated and fleeing Xiongnu soldiers.

In the soil pit, Meng Tian Chengke and the two were still fighting, and at this time the two had been fighting for nearly a hundred rounds, and Yi Wencheng on the side was dumbfounded, and both of them were a little tired.

Cheng Ke panted and said: "Fortunately, I have practiced martial arts and swordsmanship, otherwise I am afraid I would have died at your hands."

"What I admired just now was your righteousness and your courage, and now what makes me admire even more is your strength, your swordsmanship is indeed beyond my imagination, I don't want to kill you, but unfortunately now I have to make you feel pain first."

Hearing what Meng Tian said, Cheng Ke shook the long sword in his hand and rushed over again, Meng Tian dodged sideways at the moment he rushed, dodged the attack, kicked the ground hard, and then raised his sword to stab at the back of Cheng Ke's neck.

Cheng Ke instantly knew his intentions and quickly leaned down to dodge, Meng Tian smiled, his hands clenched the hilt of the sword, and stabbed down towards Cheng Ke's back, Cheng Ke also smiled, quickly flew up, kicked Meng Tian in the abdomen, and due to the inertia of his body, he bounced backwards at the moment when the blade stabbed him.

The two of them were lying on the ground at the same time, Meng Tian seemed to be kicked by Cheng Ke's two kicks, Cheng Ke got up from the ground and said: "General, I have long seen that your move to stab me in the back of the neck is a feint, you expected that I would not be so stupid to turn around and resist and dodge, the purpose is to attack me at the moment I dodge, and I will plan to let you lie on the ground in the end."

After that, Cheng Ke walked to Meng Tian's side, and Meng Tian said: "Judging from the strength of your two feet, you should be quite tired at this moment."

Hearing what Meng Tian said, Cheng Ke's nerves tensed again, Meng Tian stood up and picked up the long sword again and rushed over, Cheng Ke waved the sword in one hand and strode towards him, and the two exchanged hands again.

After less than a few rounds, Meng Tian raised his sword to block Cheng Ke's long sword at the moment when it came back, and then pressed the long sword in his hand to rotate Cheng Ke's long sword, and after rotating for a circle, he hit Cheng Ke's long sword out with a strong blow.

Meng Tian walked in front of Cheng Ke and put his sword on Cheng Ke's shoulder, Yi Wencheng on the side hurriedly drew his knife to save him, Cheng Ke shook his head at him and said to Meng Tian: "Talk about it, I lost, now the lives of the two of us are handed over to you, you can do it."

Meng Tian inserted the sword back into the sheath and said: "I don't think you are like a Hun or maybe you are not at all, your swordsmanship is also full of the feeling of Central Plains swordsmanship, who are you from, where and how did you end up here."

"My name is Cheng Ke, I was originally from the northern border of Zhao Guodai, and after the Xiongnu of Nancheng State seized that area, I was forced by them to migrate north, and then I joined their army in order to make a living, and then Qiang Lei, the prime minister of Nanchengguo, promoted me to become a general."

After listening to Cheng Ke's background, he said to him: "In this case, I don't think your ability needs to be condescended to this, how about joining our Qin army and establishing some meritorious deeds."

"General, the Huns in Nancheng treat me well, how can I abandon them, besides, the water in your Central Plains is too deep for me, I still like to stay here on the grassland, either kill us immediately or let us go."

"Well, although the two of us are enemies, for the sake of me admiring you so much, you can go."

"Thanks"

After Cheng Ke finished speaking, he and Yi Wencheng jumped out of the pit and went north, and Meng Tian also jumped out of the pit to signal the soldiers to withdraw a road.

At this time, the defenders of the southern border of Nancheng Kingdom fled to death, and the other generals saw that the general situation had gone and surrendered to the Qin army, and Bei Yan, who was in the camp in the west, heard the news and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat to the area of North Wolf City.

Meng Yi reported the news of their retreat to Meng Tian, and although Meng Tian did not know why they did not go to the rescue, he still led the army straight to the Northern Wolf City......
