Chapter 114: Chenzhou Attack and Defense (3)
As the saying goes, it is better to be a peaceful dog than to leave people in chaos. In troubled times, life is better than death. Whether you are a high-ranking official or a rich man, in the troubled times, you will find yourself small. You can't keep your official position, you can't keep your wealth, you can't keep your family, you can't even save your own life. If you're a common man, that's even less to say. In troubled times, most of the people who fill the ravines are flat-headed people with vegetables on their faces.
But there are no absolutes in the world, and there are still some people who are deliberately looking forward to the early arrival of troubled times. These people are either ambitious careerists, they are ruthless, they regard human life as a mustard, and they regard the troubled times as a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions and even seize the world. Most of the upper echelons of Maitreya are such people. Either they are aliens with different aspirations, and most of them are trying to escape the chaos of the motherland and enter the heavenly Song Dynasty. But these aliens do not have the mentality of Chinese gratitude, but are more greedy like wolves. The role model in their hearts was that the Hu monarchs of the Wuhu Rebellion wanted to occupy the homeland of the Han people again. Even if you can't occupy them all, you can also take advantage of the troubled times to massacre and expand your territory. Wang Jun's group of Hu people has this mentality. There is also a kind of hope that troubled times will come, that is, death row inmates in prisons. Li Jinzhu and Li Jinliang, the two commanders of the Five Hundred Short Sword Army, are this kind of people.
Li Jinzhu Li Jinliang was originally a cousin, a thief in Huainan, who was as agile as an ape and could carry heavy objects over the roof. Before the Jingkang rebellion, the two of them were all locked up in Huainan Prison, wearing heavy iron shackles on their hands and large iron chains weighing dozens of catties on their feet, waiting for the death row prisoners to be beheaded by the Autumn Queen.
One morning, the great thief Qi Fang led more than 10,000 rogues to break through the county seat of Huainan. Hearing that Li Jinliang and Li Jinzhu's brothers were in prison, Qi Fang personally walked into the prison, personally untied the two cousins, and said with a smile, "Now that the second emperor has been taken captive and the world is in chaos, it is the time for heroes to be rampant." Would you like to gallop with me? ”
The Li brothers knelt on the ground at that time and said in unison, "The grace of saving lives is like reconstruction." From today on, my two brothers are the knives in the hands of General Qi. ”
Li Jinliang and Li Jinzhu followed Qi Fang, and soon with their superb martial arts, they emerged among the rogues. Now Li Jinliang is the commander of Qi Fang's personal guards, in charge of more than 4,000 cavalry troops. Li Jinzhu is the number one master among the 50,000 Liukou, commanding an army of 3,000 short swords.
The three thousand short sword army are all about the same as the Li brothers. With Qi Fang's order, the five hundred short sword army followed Li Jinzhu to kill the head of Chenzhou City.
The ladder is soft, and if an ordinary rogue wants to climb the ladder, he must bite the knife with his mouth and grasp the ladder with both hands to climb up. Look at Li Jinzhu again, wearing iron armor, a short knife in one hand, stepping on the ladder with both feet, jumping up like an ape, without any hands at all.
As soon as Li Jinzhu's head appeared at the head of the city, he saw a protector staring at him and stabbing straight at him. The Protector was accompanied by two companions, each holding a long knife, and if the pikeman missed, the two swordsmen would slash at him.
Li Jinzhu shouted, leaned back, and fell upside down from the ladder.
The three protectors at the mouth of the ladder were all stunned. Li Jinzhu's monkey-like posture on the cloud ladder was seen by many people's protectors, and they knew that this person was a master. I didn't expect it to be so vulnerable, and I planted the ladder like this. The city wall more than four feet high, even if the iron man falls, it is estimated that he will die.
The three protectors were stunned for less than a second, but they saw Li Jinzhu's body bounce back from the ladder, it turned out that this master of art was bold, and he was on top of the ladder, hooking his feet to the ladder pedal, and came to an iron plate bridge under his head and feet.
The short knife in his left hand stabbed into the gunman's throat with a sharp slash, and with a slash of his hand, he slashed the neck of the knife hand on the left side. The knife hand on the right finally reacted, roared angrily, and slashed Li Jinzhu's left shoulder with a swing.
Li Jinzhu used a short knife less than a foot long in his right hand to block the powerful single knife of the Protector Army, and the short knife in his left hand stabbed into the throat of the knife hand.
The three Protector Army gunners near this ladder saw that Li Jinzhu was so vicious, and knew that they could not be hard-beaten, and when they came out of the pear blossom gun formation, the three spears were stabbed in the shape of a zigzag.
If the gun array is complete, three ordinary soldiers can also repel a martial artist. The reason why Li Jinzhu and Li Jinliang's brothers were arrested by mistake was precisely because they were forced into the corner of the gun by more than a dozen brave spear arrays.
Before the gun arrived, Li Jinzhu's short knife suddenly flew out of his hand, swishing twice, and nailed to the throats of the two Protector gunmen. The eyes of the two Protector gunmen were instantaneous.
The other gunman was angry and angry, and the gun was even more urgent, and at the same time as stabbing the gun, his body also smashed towards Li Jinzhu. He had already made up his mind to die with the enemy and avenge a few of his comrades.
Li Jinzhu's body suddenly ejected, like a big eagle, and quickly landed on the head of Chenzhou City. The Protector gunmen stabbed the air, threw themselves into the air, and fell off the wall.
With Li Jinzhu, a fierce general, as an example, hundreds of short sword troops moved faster, and in the blink of an eye, more than thirty short sword soldiers followed Li Jinzhu onto the city wall and stood on the city wall.
Qi Fang saw clearly under the city, and couldn't help but say to Wang Jun proudly, "General Wang, how about my five hundred pro-army?" ”
Wang Jun smiled faintly, "Worthy of the title of strong man!" There are no weak soldiers under the strong generals. ”
Qi Fang swept the three hundred returning troops who were charging five hundred meters away from the short knife army with his eyes, and the smugness on his face suddenly disappeared. It turned out that half of the three hundred Hui troops had already climbed the city wall of Chenzhou, and their movements were much faster than his short sword army.
The commander of the Hui army was named Bai Jingzhu, and he was a giant man with a height of eight feet. Before Jingkang, this person was a butcher at the West Gate of Bianliang. After the chaos, he took advantage of the opportunity of the Jin soldiers to enter the city, led a hundred and ten peers, robbed more than a dozen rich families, and suddenly turned into a rich man in the Huren District. Wang Jun gathered troops to make a rebellion, and Bai Jingzhu was the first to respond. slaughtered the people, and it was also Bai Jingzhu, who was born as a butcher, who killed the most fiercely.
This man was a fanatical Green Cultist, and in his opinion, all pagans were not worthy to live in the world. This is a paradise given to them by Allah. Bai Jingzhu had a fanatical dream of establishing their caliphate on the land of the Central Plains.
However, this person's kung fu is indeed extremely high, he holds a seventy-pound large iron vertebrae, and wears three layers of heavy armor, which is also as agile as an ape. Facing the spears of the Protectors at the head of the city, he shook the spear with a large iron spine and smashed the three spears that were pierced, and the moment he stepped on the city wall with one foot, the big iron vertebrae swept away the three Protectors off the city wall.
Bai Jingzhu is like a desolate demon god, a big iron spine dances with the wind, and he is invincible. He quickly relied on the strength of one person to clear the foothold for the follow-up Hui army.
More than a dozen Protector gunners formed a spear formation and rolled out to attack, but Bai Jingzhu rolled on a lazy donkey, and his huge body was extremely flexible and let go of the spear, bullying the feet of the Protector. The iron spine swept away, and several more Protectors broke their legs.
Bai Jingzhu was unforgiving, and took advantage of the retreat of the Protector Army, and the iron spine was tapped, smashing the head of the Protector Army with a broken leg.
Zhang Xian's eyes were like eagles, although he was firmly in the middle of the city wall, the kilometers of the city wall were all in his sight. Seeing Bai Jujing's tall body rise and fall, the Protector Army was huddled together, still retreating. Zhang Xian's eyes sharpened, and the murderous intent paused. He picked up his spear in one hand and ran along the city wall towards Bai Jingzhu like a fly, while also throwing down a sentence.
"Li Heng, take ten step armor and go and give the grandson of the short knife the result!"
Zhang Xian was three or four hundred meters away from Bai Jingzhu, but in the blink of an eye, Zhang Xian had already killed Bai Jingzhu. Along the way, he also used a big gun to knock over four ladders and stabbed to death nine Hui warriors who had just climbed the city wall.
"Zahu! Hugh is rampant, eat your Zhang Ye shot! ”
Zhang Xiansheng reached the gun, the tip of the gun shook, and a big gun flower was shaken, and the red tassels on the gun instantly bloomed in Bai Jingzhu's eyes.
Bai Jingzhu's fierce face showed a hint of panic. Before the siege of the city, he saw Zhang Xian's figure standing at the head of the city. Although he is arrogant, he is also self-aware. Killed from Bianliang to Chenzhou. In the Hui army, several warriors who were no less than him died under Zhang Xian's gun. This Han general, who is not very old and not strong, has the murderous aura of a demon god. No matter how desperate the warriors are, they will be stabbed by his big gun two feet away. Bai Jingzhu watched Zhang Xian's shot, and knew that he couldn't catch Zhang Xian's shot. He kills people by natural divine power. Zhang Xian relied on more than ten years of hard practice in marksmanship. The two are not on the same level at all.
When Bai Jingzhu landed in the city, he deliberately avoided Zhang Xian's location. But he didn't expect Zhang Xian's speed to be so fast, and he was in front of him in a blink of an eye. Bai Jingzhu wanted to retreat, but he was blocked by the warriors of the same clan behind him.
Seeing that the big gun was like an electric stab, there was no way to avoid it, Bai Jingzhu was also aroused to be ferocious, and with a loud roar, the seventy-pound iron spine flew out of his hand, and took Zhang Xian's chest directly. Even if he dies, he will fight with Zhang Xian to the end.
Zhang Xian didn't expect Bai Jingzhu to have this hand, and his face changed slightly. You must know that the power of the seventy-pound iron spine is enough to have a thousand catties, and it is not human power that can resist it at all. During the former Qin Dynasty, Zhang Liang hired a wrestler to assassinate Qin Shi Huang in Bolangsha. Seventy paces away, Lux threw Qin Shi Huang's sedan chair with a large iron spine, and immediately smashed a sedan chair. If it weren't for Qin Shi Huang sitting in another sedan chair, Zu Long would probably be beaten into meat scraps.
Zhang Xian wants to avoid this big iron spine, but it is not difficult, as long as he has a short body, or a vertical body, he can avoid the fierce iron spine. But behind Zhang Xian, there were dozens of protectors. If Zhang Xian dodged the iron spine, the Protectors behind him would be stoned to death by at least four or five.
At the critical juncture, Zhang Xian suddenly roared, Dantian screamed, twisted the gun with both hands, and the ash rod with the thickness of a duck egg suddenly became extremely soft, and the tip of the gun suddenly retracted when it touched Bai Jingzhu's body, because the gun barrel at this time was arched, just stopping the big iron vertebrae.
The big iron vertebrae received this grid, castration was not stopped, and one spin continued to fly towards Zhang Xian. But Zhang Xian's wrist flicked again, the front half of the gun was straightened, and the second half of the gun was bowed again.
In an instant, the barrel of the gun bowed three times in a row, like a wave, and the last time it was bowed, the big gun snapped. However, at this time, the castration of the big iron spine was also exhausted, and it had not yet landed, but it was fished in the hands of Zhang Xian, who abandoned the gun.
Bai Jingzhu escaped death, and when he saw Zhang Xian intercepting the big iron spine, he immediately backhanded, snatched a bull-eared sharp knife from a Hui army, and flew towards Zhang Xian.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave live and the weak die. If Zhang Xian is relieved, he will have no other way to survive except to jump off the city wall and fall to his death. The other Hui soldiers also shouted in unison, and rushed after Bai Jingzhu. They know Zhang Xian and know that this little white face cannot be singled out, and must be beaten in groups.
Bai Jingzhu pounced in front of Zhang Xian, shouted, and the sharp knife of the bull's ear was like a short lightning, directly aimed at Zhang Xian's throat and stabbed it. At the same time, on the city wall hundreds of steps away, Li Heng also let out an earth-shattering roar.
