The fighting on the edge of the dense forest gradually became white-hot, the ground was already full of blood, and the wounded people were moaning on the ground, and soon they were trampled on by the war horses, screaming and being trampled to death. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Lian kept wielding the long knife, and several more people died on his hands, their faces and bodies were already covered with blood, and their clothes and armor were already dyed red. Zhang Desheng pounced desperately, which made Yang Lian a little surprised, why is this person so persistent? But no matter what the reason is, in Yang Lian's mind, this person is a thief, and openly attacking officers and soldiers is simply a rebellion.

There were more and more corpses on the ground, Chen Tie led the troops to break through Wu Ergou's defense, and rushed to support Yang Lian, once the speed of the cavalry was raised, it was difficult for the infantry to stop, and several rounds of arrows were fired, and the officers and soldiers fell down two or three people, and the remaining few people were injured and rushed over. The sound of horses' hooves, Wu Ergou shouted loudly, reminding Zhang Desheng to pay attention.

Zhang Desheng heard the voice, and when he looked back, Chen Tie and the others had already rushed over, and more than a dozen brothers wanted to step forward to block, but Chen Tie's fast horse broke through the defense line, and at the same time, Chen Tie used the impact of the war horse to knock several people away.

"Big brother, why don't you withdraw?" Someone said. They lacked horses and relied on foot combat, and they had little advantage of fighting with cavalry. By this time, the casualties were already large. If you don't leave, I'm afraid more people will die here.

Zhang Desheng gritted his teeth, he was really unwilling to fall short, but more and more cavalry rushed over, and if he didn't leave, he really couldn't leave. Zhang Desheng sighed and shouted: "The wind is tight, and it is nonsense." As he spoke, he slashed forward, then turned around and fled, galloping towards the dense forest, the officers and soldiers had war horses, if they took the official road, they could not outrun them at all.

Yang Lian was willing to let go, and seeing that Zhang Desheng was faintly the head of everyone, he rushed over with a slap of his horse. Yang Lian was fast, and after running for seven or eight years, he caught up with Zhang Desheng, and he swung his knife and slashed at Zhang Desheng. Zhang Desheng heard the wind behind his ears and knew that the situation was not good, so he rolled on the spot, dodged Yang Lian's knife, and then quickly stood up, grabbed a robber standing beside him, lifted it up with all his might, and threw it towards Yang Lian.

Yang Lian couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that he had a lot of strength, and when the man was thrown over, Yang Lian raised his knife and slashed forward, the man screamed, and still hit Yang Lian's war horse, the war horse was frightened, raised its front hooves, and screamed. Taking advantage of this effort, Zhang Desheng quickly slipped away, this place was not far from the dense forest, and when Yang Lian pacified the war horse, and when he wanted to chase after him, he found that it was too late.

In the dense forest, I don't know if there is an ambush at all, but now that safety comes first, Yang Lian stopped Chen Tie, who wanted to pursue, and asked him to gather the soldiers.

The robbers came suddenly, retreated quickly, and soon disappeared without a trace. Yang Lian counted the number of people, more than 30 people lost more than half, 12 people were killed in battle, 8 people were seriously injured and were likely to lose their combat effectiveness, and the rest were slightly injured, even Yang Lian was also slashed in the arm, but he was wearing armor, and the tip of the knife only cut through the gap in the armor and cut the skin, and the injury was not serious.

There were more robbers killed, close to forty people, lying on the ground, there was a smell of blood in the air, Yang Lian glanced at the battlefield, Liu Qiwan hid aside, his body kept trembling, obviously very scared.

When Chen Tie saw it, he slapped his horse forward, picked him up, ran to Yang Lian's side, threw him on the ground, and shouted: "Liu Qiwu, tell me, who are these people?" ”

"Villain, villain doesn't know." Liu Qi was thrown on the ground, and the pain made him grin, but the pain in his body was not as good as the fear in his heart, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yang Lian.

"If you hadn't been in tune with these people, how could they have set up an ambush here? Say, "Who are they?" or they will kill you. Chen Tie scolded loudly, waving a long knife in his hand and waving it a few times in mid-air.

Liu Qiwan was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he cried bitterly.

Yang Lian stared at the half-ring, shook his head, and said, "Liu Qiwu, you get up." ”

Chen Tiedao: "Yang Jiedu, this person's identity is suspicious, and he must not be let go." ”

Yang Lian laughed twice and said, "Forgive him and don't dare." ”

Liu Qi thanked him and lowered his head, not daring to look at Yang Lian.

Yang Lian rode his horse and slowly circled around, checking. Suddenly, a man jumped up on the ground, covered in blood, and said, "Spare your life, spare your life!" ”

The man looked relatively small, about twenty years old, and his face was still very childish. Yang Lian sneered, this person was the key, and asked, "Say, who ambushed this section?" What is the purpose? ”

"Jie Du envoy, if the villain says it, please surround my life." The young man said, trying to bargain.

Yang Lian laughed twice and said, "This is natural, you can say it first." ”

The man hurriedly told the cause and effect of the matter, Yang Lian frowned slightly, he couldn't imagine that the training of soldiers would also practice this kind of thing, but he couldn't imagine that Zhang Desheng had actually been a thief, and he had a good relationship with the thirteen families in Huaibei, even if he didn't kill his brother, I am afraid that there would be rebellion in the future.

After listening to the cause and effect of the incident, Yang Lian asked, "If you don't want to die, tell Benjiedu, where are they hiding?" ”

The man hurriedly said: "Jie Du envoy, the villain will lead you over." ”

Yang Lian nodded and said, "Chen Tie, you immediately take him to see where the thief is hiding." Once you know, don't startle the snake. Zhu Qi, you go back to the city immediately and bring the recruits out. ”

"Whoa!" Chen Tie and Zhu Qi replied at the same time, Zhu Qi left first, and Chen Tie took the cavalry who was not seriously injured and escorted the man off.

Yang Lian stood in place, thinking carefully, the thirteen families in Huaibei had an attempt to invade Chuzhou, and it happened that the children of the Zhang family were killed, which made Zhang Desheng very angry. Now that Zhang Desheng's attempt has been discovered, Yang Lian has the idea of eliminating the Huaibei bandits.

In this way, Zhang Desheng was the key to it, and Yang Lian waited for a while, letting the wounded soldier go back with the robes that had died in battle, and chase Chen Tie first. The man only knew the village where Zhang Desheng lived, and when Yang Lian arrived, Chen Tie was observing more than 500 steps away from the village, which was also close to the Huai River and had convenient transportation. And there are no hills in this area, and there is no other place to hide than to rely on the dense forest.

The man pointed ahead and said, "Jie Du envoy, Zhang Desheng lives in the village in front." ”

"How many of you are there?" Yang Lian asked in a low voice.

The man said: "The number of brothers in the Zhang family is not large, and there are only a dozen men, but there are many people brought by Wu Ergou." ”

Yang Lian nodded, and only this group of bandits who were not afraid of death brought by Wu Ergou could cause him trouble. At this time, Yang Lian didn't know what was going on in the village, so he didn't rush into the village, Yang Lian sent people to monitor several exits of the village, waiting for Zhu Qi to come with his troops.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Zhu Qi finally arrived with his troops, 1,500 recruits, three, Yang Lian let the soldiers of the two capitals guard the door, and the remaining 500 people entered the village fully armed. The villagers were so frightened that so many soldiers suddenly appeared in the village, and many people closed the door and hid in the door to observe, for fear that the soldiers would break into their homes. But if the officers and soldiers really want to arrest him, what is the use of closing the door?

The man took Yang Lian, Chen Tie and others straight to Zhang Desheng's house, and when they arrived at Zhang Desheng's door, Chen Tie shouted loudly and kicked the door open, the door made a noise and fell down, but Zhang Desheng's family had no one, and even the things in the house were swept away, leaving only cabinets and other things.

"Sure enough, the man is gone." Yang Lian thought in his heart that since Zhang Desheng could do something about an ambush, he must not be too stupid, and after the incident, no matter what, he would definitely not return to the village.

Chen Tie grabbed the man and shouted, "Say, what other hiding place do you have?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "No, it's usually here." ”

Yang Lian looked left and right at Zhang Desheng's home, Zhang's family looked very ordinary, looked at it carefully, and let people search again, but found no clues, Yang Lian asked Zhu Qi to inquire, and did not get any news, the neighbors only said that Zhang Desheng went out early and returned late in the past few days, and there was nothing abnormal else.

Yang Lian thought about it for a while, and gave the order to go down, block the border between Chuzhou and Han, and strictly investigate, so that Zhang Desheng and others must not be allowed to escape to Han. At the same time, all villages are still strictly ordered to strengthen their precautions. Leaving the village, Yang Lian took the soldiers to Liujiazhuang to search carefully, but there were no clues left in Liujiazhuang, and he didn't know where Zhang Desheng had fled.

After returning to Chuzhou, Yang Lian has been thinking about how to catch Zhang Desheng. A wanted notice is necessary, but Zhang Desheng will certainly not sit still.

The next day, not only in the city of Chuzhou, but also in all villages outside the city, Zhang Desheng's wanted notice was posted, and Yang Lian's festival envoy seal was hung under the notice, as long as Zhang Desheng was caught or reported, Yang Lian would reward him. Yang Lian also hopes that there will be a brave man under the heavy reward, and someone will report Zhang Desheng.

After waiting for two days, sure enough, someone provided the news, saying that it was in the northwest of the city, close to the Han Kingdom, where there are many dense forests, and there are many people in the forest recently, looking at their appearance, they don't look like hunters in the forest, and the accent of the voice is a little special, not like the people in the Chuzhou area.

At this time, there were not many people around Yang Lian, only four or five people, and this was the best opportunity to kill him. Originally, Zhang Desheng planned to get close to Yang Lian before making a move, but unfortunately Yang Lian seemed to have discovered something, so he had to strike first.

Zhang Desheng shouted, the Zhang clan behind him fought hard to kill, at this time there was no way out, only to move forward, on the official road, suddenly there was a sound of killing, and the pedestrians who passed by avoided it, this year, even the officers and soldiers are not safe.

Yang Lian rode on the war horse, waved the long knife again and again, slashed left and right, and the two strongmen were cut by him, and immediately drenched in blood and retreated in embarrassment.

Chen Tie looked back and saw that he was about to return to help, suddenly, there was a bang sound in the dense forest, and bamboo arrows shot out. Although the dense bamboo arrows could not pierce the armor on the warrior's body, the armor could not wrap the soldier's whole body, and someone fell down with an arrow, letting out a miserable scream. Several people were grazed on their cheeks by bamboo arrows, and they were immediately drenched in blood.

"Kill!" In the dense forest, Wu Ergou saw that Zhang Desheng had already made a move, and after shooting this array of arrow feathers, he immediately led people to kill him, supported Zhang Desheng, and was sure to capture Yang Lian in a battle.

Chen Tie looked at the robbers who poured out of the dense forest, his face changed slightly, there were at least more than 100 of these strongmen, and it was so sudden that so many strongmen appeared here. He waved his blade, trying to kill it, but the war horse did not rush up, and the robber held a long bamboo spear and killed it, these bamboo spears were sharpened very sharp, and very tough, not easy to cut, the long knife cut on it, only left a trace, if it is unlucky, the long knife is stuck in the bamboo crack, it is difficult to pull out.

More than 30 people entangled Chen Tie, and the rest of the people flocked towards Yang Lian, capturing the thief and capturing the king first, Wu Ergou still understood this truth. In the chaotic battle, Yang Lian's long knife dance sounded, at this time, he finally understood that the purpose of the robbery in the past few days was for him, but he didn't know these people, why did he want to cause Yang Lian to die?

Zhu Qi and other soldiers also stepped forward and fought hard, and Liu Qiwu, who was not far away, was so frightened that he didn't know what to do for a while.

Zhang Desheng had a pair of red eyes, surrounded Yang Lian and fought desperately, several times he was almost cut by Yang Lian, and Yang Lian was almost cut by him.

Zhu Qi saw that there were more and more robbers, and shouted: "Yang Jiedu, you go first, and we will wait for Yang Jiedu to break off." ”

Yang Lian struggled to slash out, forcing the two of them back, glanced back at Liu Qiwu, and shouted, "Withdraw!" ”

Where is Zhang Desheng willing to let Yang Lian withdraw? Yang Lian rode a horse and ran fast, if he was allowed to escape, how could he catch up with these two legs? He also shouted again and again, leading the children of the Zhang family to surround Yang Lian and fight, and couldn't let his war horse run.

Both sides were fighting desperately, more and more people fell, the officers and men were better equipped, although they were suddenly ambushed and suffered losses, but they quickly reacted, losing four or five cavalrymen, and the remaining dozen were slightly wounded, but they could still fight.

However, although Zhang Desheng and others had an effect on the surprise attack, they did not have strong armor, and many people did not have war horses, so they suffered a lot in foot combat, but more people died, and more than 100 people have been reduced to nearly 20 people.

"Kill, kill him, reward ten gold, the beautiful woman of Chuzhou City will let him take it!" Zhang Desheng encouraged loudly. The Zhang clan listened, especially desperately fighting, a few people approached Yang Lian without fear of death, one was cut off his arm, one was stabbed in the face, screaming to the bottom, the rest of the people were suddenly a little afraid, this person is too powerful.

"A bunch of waste, what are you afraid of?" Zhang Desheng shouted and cursed, he glanced at Yang Lian coldly, and pounced desperately.

Yang Lian shouted, the long knife in his hand was split, the blades of the two intersected, the sound of the soldiers resounded in his ears, the arms of both of them trembled slightly, Yang Lian's situation was a little bit, he had an advantage on the horse, his arm was just sore, but Zhang Desheng was covering the tiger's mouth, just now this knife, he suffered a lot of losses, and the tiger's mouth was cracked.

But at this time, how can it be possible to retreat? Zhang Desheng shouted and pounced again. (To be continued.) )
