Chapter Eighty-Five: The First Dengshi Makes Meritorious Contributions, and the Tiger Guard Battalion Rises (I)
The battle between officials and thieves at the end of the Han Dynasty is no longer commonplace.
But because of the addition of high-ranking cadres, the dull fight suddenly took on a different color.
Tearing wind horses, splendid armor, speckled blood stains dotted among them, with Gao Gan's handsome face, if Xu Chu was present, he would suspect that he had crossed into a world of martial arts.
Gao Gan is like a knight with strong martial arts, using clever riding skills to crisscross the battlefield. In the smoke and dust flying in the rush of horses' hooves, there is a sword skill that is more amazing than horsemanship, and every blow is just right to cut through the throat of the enemy.
Huang Shao smashed it, smashed it, Gao Gan may be the best swordsmanship he has ever seen on the battlefield, but this is the battlefield, the swordsman is only ten enemies, what is the use?
Acting recklessly for the generals, but without the matching martial arts, in the bloody battlefield with arms and heads rolling on the ground, there is always a price to pay.
Huang Shao stared at Gao Gan's men and horses, and ordered his subordinates to make a detour from both sides and put out a big pocket for Gao Gan to drill into.
Gao Gan didn't hesitate to get in, and with the idea of putting him to death and resurrection, he resolutely ran towards Huang Shao. Coupled with the accompanying heroes, five people and five horses, no one dared to stop them in front, and some of the yellow scarves who did not know whether they were alive or dead were knocked out before they could make a move, trampled to death, and in a short time, they were only nearly twenty steps away from Huang Shao.
"Shoot the arrows!" Huang Shao ordered.
A dozen archers came out and shot with their bows full. Whoosh! Because it was a flat shot, the power of the arrow was very great, and more than a dozen arrows beckoned to Gao Gan and the other five horsemen, even if they could block the front of them, what should the war horse do? Gao Gan and the others had to control the war horse to slow down and dodge left and right.
Another round of volleys, this time there was no room to dodge, the horse was bleeding from the arrow, Gao Gan and others could only jump off the horse, and in an instant, the surrounding area was full of enemy troops.
An accompanying hero was in a hurry and said, "Yuancai! Go back the way you came! ”
Gao Gan also knew that it was impossible to capture the thief's head, but it was not easy to kill him back.
The five of them are all one against ten, and they have a tacit understanding, and they are really killed in a short period of time. It only took a moment for this small opening to be blocked, and a heroic man rushed over desperately, fighting for a glimmer of life for Gao Gan at the cost of several injuries in his body. Gao Gan did not hesitate, bared his teeth and fought his way out of the encirclement, and ran towards his own troops without looking back. But at this time, the county guards suffered heavy losses, and they were also besieged under the offensive of He Fu and Huang Shao.
Gao Gan's heart is like ashes: Could it be that he is going to die here today?
"Help is coming! Help is coming! Someone shouted.
He Fu and Huang Shao, who were riding on horses at the far end, looked ahead at the same time and found that there were two forces of less than 100 people rushing towards this side.
Zhang Gu, Zhang Wu's first sergeant. Although there are only 100 people, they have an obviously uncommon momentum. Those who take the risk of being injured are born to be pioneers.
Before they could fight, Huang Shao patted his horse and walked towards He Fu and said, "These are Xu Chu's soldiers." ”
He Fu looked at the front of the battle, the two young generals were invincible with the first Dengshi, and they had the power of a tiger entering the flock, so they wiped the beads of sweat on their foreheads and said to Huang Shao: "The things are almost robbed, this is not the time to fight with the Xu family." Brother Huang, let's withdraw. ”
Huang Shao nodded, "Withdraw." ”
……
……
Seeing Huang Shao and He Fu retreating, Gao Gan's hanging heart finally fell. Zhang Gu and Zhang Wu trotted over and asked from afar, "But Chen Liugao Yuancai!" ”
Gao Gan greeted him and said with emotion: "It is in the bottom, thanks to the two of them who arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." He grew up in fine clothes and food, and his surroundings have always been full of praise and sycophants, so his heart is so high that he looks down on everyone in the world. With today's setbacks, Gao Gan unconsciously grew in his heart, and he became modest and cautious in his speech.
"The two of them were sent by the Gao County Order?"
Zhang Gu first smiled and said: "Gao Jun is wrong, we are the team leader under the command of Yingchuan Taishou, and we are ordered by the soldier Cao Shi Xijun to find Gao Jun." After introducing himself and Zhang Wu, he said contemptuously: "The county commander and county lieutenant of Nayu County dare not come out to fight with the Yellow Turban, and now a large number of ant thieves are scattered in the east of the county, and the money, food and property in the homes of the people in the townships and pavilions may not be able to be saved." ”
"How can it be!" Gao Gan paused, but Gao Xuan was from his own tribe, and it was not good to say more in front of outsiders, so he said, "After this winter, if the people are not funded, they will become displaced again...... Yuxian County has had a bad year. Before the two failed to win the weak championship, they didn't lead a team of warriors, which is really commendable. ”
Zhang Gu and Zhang Wu were praised by Gao Gan, and they were very happy in their hearts. I also heard that Gao Gan was ashamed, so he said that he would wait for the people who were loyal to the drama to come before making a decision. Gao Gan nodded in agreement, he didn't dare to act recklessly anymore. Thinking of the heroic man who died to save him from breaking through, Gao Gan felt even more uncomfortable, and he was dying, bowing his head and saying nothing.
......, Xi Zhong's operation to exterminate the scattered yellow turbans was not smooth, because of the limited manpower and the new soldiers, so he did not dare to act separately, and after tossing for most of the day, he simply asked Li Ping to take half of the soldiers to be trained soldiers, and specially selected small groups of rogue gangsters to attack. He himself was worried about the safety of the senior cadres, so he went all the way east. After meeting the people of the Zhang brothers, they can be relieved.
met with Gao Gan, and Gao Gan thanked Xi Zhong again.
Xi Zhong shook his head and said: "Gao Yuancai is Yuan Sili's right and left hand, and Taishou repeatedly told him that Yuan Cai should not be allowed to be sick no matter what." Xu Chu didn't say this, Xi Zhong was showing favor for Xu Chu.
Gao Gan sighed: "There was disrespect to Xu Yingchuan before, and I also asked the drama gentleman to convey his apologies. ”
Xi Zhong laughed a few words, praising Gao Gan for really living up to his reputation, disregarding life and death for the people, and daring to take risks to chase the enemy. In Xi Zhong's view, perhaps this fate with Gao Gan is more important than that of Yu County, Yuan Shao coordinated major affairs with the general for the representative of the scholar clan in Luoyang City, if he can have a good relationship with Yuan Shao, it will be of great benefit in the future.
After a short pause, the group continued to set off to chase the main force of He Fu and Huang Shao. Gao Gan got strong reinforcements, and his mind was alive again, He Fu and Huang Shao were at most more than a thousand people, and his entourage had a plan after looking at it from a distance on the tree. Now Xi Zhong, Zhang Gu, and Zhang Wu have seven or eight hundred people, and he still has more than 100 county soldiers in his hands, so why not take down the two thieves and write a stroke on the merit book.
So he urged Xi Zhong and said: "Xi Jun, there are not a few food and property looted by the Yellow Turbans, and the march must be slow. Wouldn't it be beautiful for us to hasten our march and catch up with the thieves before nightfall? ”
Xi Zhong shook his head, "No." ”
Gao Gan was suspicious: "Why? ”
"Xu Taishou is already outside Yu County, waiting for the thieves to go out of the city."
......
......
The sun is blazing, and the armor is shining.
The Tiger Guards were lined up in five rows, each with a Mo sword in their hands and an iron spear on their backs, and only half of them wore the most expensive battle armor.
Rao is like this, after He Fu left the city, he saw a dazzling golden light refracted from him, and his legs trembled a little.
"Brother Huang, what are those?"
"The Tiger Guard Battalion, the most elite unit under Xu Chu, is led by Qu Jun Hou Dian Wei."
"Dian Wei?! But what about the 'ancient evil' who slaughtered all sides in Yuanling County? ”
"Exactly."
Dian Wei once pacified the three northern counties of Yingchuan County with Xu Shu, and it was the Yellow Turban Thief who was entrenched there, and He Fu had also heard of Dian Wei's name.
He Yan's ambition vanished, and he panicked: "There is Dian Wei in front, and there are chasing soldiers in the back." Brother Huang, let's run away. ”
Naturally, he left his subordinates behind and fled with his cronies.
Huang Shao seemed to be smiling, and pointed ahead, "Brother He, look at that, it's too late." ”
