The sharp bronze bolt suddenly poked out from the horizon and stabbed fiercely at the neck of the war horse.

Xi Yuyu, the horse neighed violently, the front hooves were raised, and then the poofs fell into the mud, and the four hooves did not stop.

Cao Wuxian's face was fierce, he threw away the copper sword, drew out the iron sword, and cut down the bandit who was dizzy and got up from the mud. Liu Kan let out a sigh of relief, carried the injured pawn on his back, turned around and ran in the direction of his own formation.

While running, he shouted loudly: "Cao is not injured, you must not fight, retreat...... Return to the Chinese army! ”

At this time, dozens of people rushed out from behind the grain cart, and it was the Yong Tooth that waved Changge and killed the bandits. Zhao Tuo stood on a grain cart, staring at the changes in the battlefield. Seeing that the bandits rushed up again, trying to trap Liu Kan and the others, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Liu Ji, scatter!"

When Liu Bang heard this, he hurriedly responded, commanded the archers of the Chinese army, and scattered them in the sky.

This scattering, without a definite target, is similar to what later generations called fire coverage. A hundred archers bent their bows and released their arrows, and their sharp arrows whistled and flew towards the arena in the distance. Liu Kan had already returned to his home camp, and asked Zhou Chang to arrange for someone to take care of the injured pawn. With a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, he fought with the bandits who rushed over, and fought and retreated, moving closer to the Chinese army.

A sharp arrow suddenly shot at Liu Kan.

Cao Wu's eyes were quick and he swung his sword to cut off the sharp arrow.

Liu Kan also noticed it, and couldn't help but turn his head and glance in the direction of the Chinese army, "No injury, be careful behind you, it seems that something is wrong!" ”

Ordinary people may regard this arrow as a stray arrow, after all, on the battlefield, anything can happen.

However, out of instinct, Liu Kan was keenly aware that this sharp arrow that shot at him was by no means a stray arrow, but a deliberate one.

In the middle of the Chinese army, Liu Bang suddenly rushed over and kicked over a man who was about the same age as him.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, his move was more like a way to cover the man from the stray arrow. Liu Bang squatted down and grabbed the man's arm. Viciously roared: "Juan, are you crazy? Why did you shoot that Liu Kan just now? ”

The man's name is Lu Juan, and Liu Bang was born on the same day, the same month, and the two families are still world friends.

This Lu Juan has followed Liu Bang since he was a child, and he can be called Liu Bang's shadow. was kicked by Liu Bang, but Lu Juan didn't seem to care.

His eyes fiercely looked at Liu Kan, who was fighting in the distance, "Liu Bang, if it wasn't for this guy last time, how could we miss?" And this bastard also killed Cao Ji and turned Fat into a motherless child...... Taking advantage of this opportunity, he can be killed to avenge Cao Ji. ”

In Pei County, many people call Liu Ji Liu Bang.

But in fact, this Liu Bang is not Liu Ji's name. Bang is a dialect of the area around Surabaya County, and in later generations, it means 'big brother'. Liu Bang, in short, means 'Brother Liu', or 'Brother Liu', which can be regarded as an honorific title.

Liu Bang gritted his teeth and said: "Bastard, although Liu Kan killed Cao Ji, he can't blame him." Let's do that business without roots, either kill or be killed. What's more, we are now a gang, how can personal enmity be compared with official affairs, you are really confused.

Moreover, those Qin people obviously want to promote Liu Kan, if he dies, can you guarantee that the Qin people will not track him down? Dying on the battlefield, and dying by a sneak attack, you only need to look at the wounds. If Qin Renxian's Liu Kan died in a sneak attack, none of us would be able to escape responsibility.

Also, Tu Zi and Ren Ao have a good sense of him now.

And can you guarantee that they won't be suspicious? As for the grievances between me and Liu Kan, don't interfere, I will settle accounts with him. ”

Lu Juan listened to Liu Bang's words and smashed his fist on the ground in annoyance.

"Juan, now put those personal enmities aside, deal with those people in Wang Ling first, and talk about revenge later...... Wang Ling's methods are vicious, and he has not been dispatched so far, obviously with other plans. Let's be careful, don't lose your lives here. ”

Lu Juan nodded, "Liu Bang, don't worry, I know!" ”

The conversation between Liu Bang and Lu Juan did not attract the attention of others, even Zhao Tuo, who supervised the war, did not appear.

Liu Kan's men and horses converged with Yongya and others, and they repelled the bandits and retreated to the Chinese army. After a fierce battle, Liu Kan's command wounded 17 people, but none of them died, which is not a miracle. Liu Kan himself, who was also covered in blood, walked to Zhao Tuo.

Intervened and saluted: "Liu Kan reported to the general, and one hundred and eleven people from the forward army attacked, and none of them died. ”

Zhao Tuo looked Liu Kan up and down a few times, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Sure enough, you are a good man, I didn't misunderstand you!" Liu Kan, I order you to continue to lead the men and horses of your headquarters to guard the left flank of the Chinese army. Without my orders, not a single thief must be spared. ”

"Hey!"

Liu Kan intervened again and saluted, turned to leave.

first arranged for Shi Shiqi and Zhou Chang to take care of the wounded, and then took people to exchange guards with the left wing men and horses guarded by Ren Ao, and replenished arrows. Liu Kan's return not only replenished Zhao Tuo's manpower, but also greatly boosted the morale of these soldiers.

Zhao Tuo immediately ordered Yongya to hold the right flank and set up a defensive posture.

Five hundred men, with a barrier formed by grain wagons, formed a strong defensive line. Zhao Tuo continued to observe the movements of the thieves, and after a short fight, the thieves lost as many as 100 people, and they also temporarily stopped their blind attacks and observed the movements of the grain team.

"Liu Ji, why hasn't Fan Xu's department come to the meeting yet?"

Zhao Tuo asked suddenly, but Liu Bang was so frightened that he was drenched in a cold sweat. yes, why hasn't that guy joined the Chinese army yet? After the bandits began to attack, the Chinese army and the front army were the main targets of the attack. On the contrary, Fan Xu, who was pressed by the rear army, did not receive much pressure. The bandits only sent a small number of troops to cut off the link between the rear army and the middle army.

Now, the former armies have converged, why hasn't Fan Hao appeared yet?

Liu Bang was in a hurry, and hurriedly explained: "Xiaomin thinks that Fan Hao should have other plans. Although the bandits are attacking fiercely now, it seems that they have not used all their strength. Although Fan Hao is usually reckless, he is still very smart at critical moments. Appearing at the most critical time, the blow to the bandit may be even heavier...... General, Xiaomin can guarantee that Fan Xu will never retreat from the battle. ”

Zhao Tuo's face was expressionless, but he just snorted, "I hope so." ”

Liu Bang let out a sigh of relief: It's finally fooled! Although he didn't know why Fan Xu didn't converge, he believed that Fan Xu would not escape. So, Liu Bang cheered up and ordered his subordinates to get ready, because the bandits started to act again.

In the darkness of the night, the swarming bandits, braving the drizzling rain, shouted and pounced on the grain team.

Although the number is small, there are at least seven or eight hundred. Liu Kan replaced it with a copper rod weighing about 30 catties, then tore open the placket and wrapped it around his hand. When the copper is stained with blood, it becomes slippery and difficult to grasp. There are strips of cloth wrapped around the hand, which can make it easier to fight.

And the rest of the people tore the sackcloth into strips of cloth and wrapped them around their hands.

Seeing the bandits getting closer and closer, Liu Kan raised the bronze and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

Almost at the same time, Liu Bang and Yongya gave orders at the same time. Hundreds of arrows flew up all over the sky, whistling like black flies in the drizzle. Poof, poof, poof...... The bandits, who rushed to the front, were instantly shot into hedgehogs and fell into pools of blood and mud.

But the rest of the bandits seemed to be brute, screaming and continuing to attack.

One hundred steps, fifty steps...... Seeing that there were only twenty or thirty steps left from the convoy, Liu Kan rushed out from behind the car and rushed towards the bandits.

"Kill!"

With an angry shout forward, Liu Kan's standard stabbing move in the later life, a stabbing blow, as fast as lightning, penetrated the bandit's chest. With him leaving, Tong Ji was strangely pulled out of the corpse, followed by another roar, a flash of cold light, and Tong Ji stabbed.

Cao Wuxian followed Liu Kan's side, and what he was responsible for was only covering Liu Kan's back and sides.

Dozens of guards followed these two people, like a sharp arrow. Liu Kan is the arrow, out of the blood, like a lion fighting a rabbit.

Although the number of bandits is large, the soldiers of the grain team have already developed a strong fighting spirit.

Liu Bang and Yongya led their troops to attack successively. The two sides scuffled together, only to hear the dull sound of the weapon slashing into the flesh one after another, screaming one after another, a puddle of blood, mixed with the stump and broken arm, splashing around. For a while, Zhaoyang Daze turned into a blood-red ......

Zhao Tuo always stood tall in the middle army, and the black dragon hunted behind him.

The army will not fall, and the army's heart will be stable. Seeing that the thieves gradually couldn't resist and fled in all directions, Zhao Tuo's face did not show the slightest joy, but frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. Until now, the soldiers and horses of the royal tomb have still not attacked!

The most important thing to lure the snake out of the hole this time is to deal with Wang Ling.

Before leaving, Ren Huan took into account all aspects, of course, and also considered that Wang Ling was cunning, and it was likely that he would hide his strength and consume the intentions of other bandits. Wang Ling did not attack, and the Qin army did not move...... This is Ren Huan's strategy. At the same time, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, Ren Huan instructed Zhao Tuo: Once Wang Ling attacked, after the signal came out, you must hold back Wang Ling.

Time...... An hour!

But in this way, the pressure on the food team will become very great.

If you don't get it right, these hundreds of people will even be wiped out, including Zhao Tuo himself, and they will all lose their lives because of this.

It's a gamble, and it's a test at the same time. Zhao Tuo is not afraid of death, but he has to worry that once the food team loses a lot, these guards who have been temporarily recruited will mutiniate because of fear. If this happens, the mission will fail.

If it fails this time, it will not be easy to draw out the royal tomb again!

Zhao Tuo subconsciously clenched the sword, and his palms were already drenched in sweat unconsciously...... Wang Ling, how long do you want to endure?
