Chapter 0003: Two Males Meet
At this moment, Zhang Xuan suddenly covered his chest and fell to the ground, curled up in pain, and shouted in a low voice: "Li Gongzi quickly throw away the fish, there is something wrong with this fish!" ”
Li Mi's face became hideous, he stood up and kicked off the war knife next to him, and stepped forward step by step with a military stab in his hand, "Stinky boy, it is indeed a bit of a means to be able to kill my seven guards, but with me Li Mi, you are still a little tender." ”
"You.... Poisoned in fish! Jang Hyun glared at him angrily.
"Of course, seven steps to break the intestines, have you heard of it?"
Li Mi sneered and said, "Do you think you saved me?" No, you ruined my plan to lure the enemy, but I don't care about it, but if you don't die, how can I, Li Mi, be safe, for the sake of your willingness to save me, I will serve you a stick of incense on this day next year. ”
As soon as he said this, Li Mi was suddenly stunned, only to see Zhang Xuan sit up and spread out his left hand to him, on the palm of his hand was a roasted carp, intact, where there were traces of eating, Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, "I'm sorry, I ate another one, so you bothered!" ”
Li Mi roared and stabbed at Zhang Xuan, at this time, Zhang Xuan raised his gun at him and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
'Bang! A gunshot rang out, a bloody hole appeared on Li Mi's forehead, his eyes widened, the life in his eyes quickly faded, and he fell headlong in front of Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan slowly stood up, picked up the military thorn from Li Mi's hand, kicked him again, and said coldly: "Do you think I can't see that those people are your subordinates?" I just want to see what tricks you can play. ”
Zhang Xuan searched Li Mi's body, found flint velvet from his arms, and found a palm-sized leather bag, bulging and heavy, and seemed to contain a lot of things.
Suddenly, Jang Hyun heard someone shouting in the distance: "The voice is coming from over there, outflanking it!" ”
Zhang Xuan was startled, stood up and looked around, only to see countless figures surrounding this side, only in the southeast direction.
Zhang Xuan made a decision immediately, he didn't bother to take the knife, he pulled out his foot and ran to the southeast, ran hundreds of steps, and jumped into a long ravine that was a foot deep.
A man-tall water grass grew in the ravine, thick green water reached his ankles, and several snakes, disturbed, quickly swam in all directions, and the sides of the ravine were covered with dense shrubs, and the slender branches of the shrubs fell from the shore like a waterfall.
Jang Hyun burrowed into a bush, his back clinging to the wet dirt.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and Jang Hyun saw the feet of a group of soldiers above his head through the bushes, and his heart suddenly pounded with nervousness.
"What was the sound just now?" A muffled voice came from overhead.
"General Qiyu, we didn't find the source of the voice, but we found a corpse, it seems to be the traitor Li Mi, not long after he died, the body is still warm, should we search it comprehensively?"
After a moment of silence, a deep voice said: "It's too late, put this matter aside for the time being, and order all the soldiers to go to the ambush quickly!" ”
Then came the rattle of horses' hooves, and four long, muscular legs appeared on top of the bushes.
Through the gap in the bushes, Zhang Xuan saw a weapon that he would never forget, the size of a huge millstone, with a sharp spear head in the middle, and a pair of golden wings like a phoenix growing on both sides, covered with dense small thorns, a bit like a three-strand fork, but much wider than a fork.
The long rod made of pig iron is one zhang long, and together with the boring head, it is four feet long and weighs at least two hundred catties.
A name popped up in Zhang Xuan's mind: 'Phoenix Wings Gilt Hammer', that's right! It should be this kind of weapon.
Along the thick and long iron rod, Zhang Xuan's eyes fell on the body of this general, this is a majestic general, riding a black war horse like a demonic beast, he is two meters tall, with a round waist, silver armor and silver helmet, a robe, a face like a crown of jade, eyebrows like a sword, and a gilded bore with phoenix wings, majestic and majestic, like a god.
"Go to the front of the official road to ambush, don't let Yang Xuangan run away!"
The general urged his horse out of the ravine, and the rustle of a large group of soldiers running was heard overhead, and gradually they ran away.
After a long while, Zhang Xuan came out of the ravine, Zhang Xuan climbed a tree, stared into the distance for a moment, it was obvious that the Sui army was deploying an ambush on the official road, did he leave, or went to the official road to have a look? ”
Zhang Xuan's eyes narrowed, he remembered the phoenix-winged gilt pistol again, could it be that the general just now was the second hero of the Sui and Tang dynasties in the legend?
Zhang Xuan was very careful, and ran all the way to the official road, passing by the resting place he had just now, Li Mi's body was gone, but the two short spears were still there, Zhang Xuan picked up the short spear and ran to the southwest.
He was about eighty paces away from the ambush, hiding behind a thick tree, Zhang Xuan grabbed the trunk of the tree, climbed the tree, and hid behind a cluster of dense branches and leaves.
After a while, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and groups of soldiers appeared, they were poorly dressed, some wore leather armor, some wore cloth clothes, and their weapons were also varied, it seemed that they were not regular Sui troops, this should be Yang Xuangan's rebels.
The soldiers were all frightened, disorganized, marching silently and bowing their heads and fleeing south, not realizing that an army was lurking in the woods on either side of the official road.
Zhang Xuan shook his head, although this Sui army general is decisive, but he is not meticulous enough, the person who can kill Li Mi must not be an ordinary mountain bandit deserter, even if it is too late to conduct a comprehensive search, a team should also be sent to search carefully, otherwise the other party sends a signal, and their ambush is meaningless.
In addition, this area is densely forested and easy to ambush, and the main general of the southbound army did not send scouts to check the enemy situation in front, which is obviously a major mistake, if this main general is Yang Xuangan, then it is reasonable for Yang Xuangan to fail to raise troops.
Zhang Xuan secretly wondered in his heart whether he should remind this army and tell them that there were ambushes on both sides, but if he was exposed, I am afraid he would not survive.
The army had passed through five or six thousand people, and at last hundreds of cavalrymen in armor appeared, all of them burly in their hands, holding spears, and a large banner fluttering above their heads, embroidered with a huge 'Yang' character.
Above the banner was a man in his forties, wearing a golden crown and armor, with a majestic physique, riding a tall steed like coals, holding a horse lance, he had a square face, thick eyebrows, and murderous eyes.
Intuition told Zhang Xuan that this person was Yang Xuangan!
At this moment, I saw a banging sound on both sides, and dense arrows shot like a storm towards Yang Xuangan and the cavalry around him.
The screams on the official road suddenly rang out, and the cavalry fell off their horses with arrows, but Yang Xuangan reacted very quickly, and danced the horse lance through the wind and rain, and the shadow of the lance was like flying, covering his figure, as if there was a glass cover covering him, and thousands of arrows were picked out by him, and none of the arrows penetrated his defensive circle, which was breathtaking.
The rain of arrows stopped instantly, and only Yang Xuangan was left on the horse alone among the hundreds of cavalrymen, and there was not a single arrow on him, Yang Xuangan raised his head and laughed wildly, "Do you want to do it again?" ”
The general of the Sui army in the forest pointed with a phoenix winged gilt pistol, and said coldly: "Kill it, and leave no armor!" ”
The shouting of killing suddenly sounded, "Kill-" Thousands of Sui troops were killed from the woods, and there was chaos on the official road, although Yang Xuangan was brave, but the morale of his army was extremely low, in the face of the wolf-like Sui soldiers, they were defeated without a fight, they were killed and cried for a long time, scattered and fled for their lives, only hating their father and mother for not giving them two more feet.
Hundreds of Sui soldiers surrounded Yang Xuangan and shouted: "Yang Xuangan surrenders, spare your dog's life!" ”
Yang Xuan was furious, roared wildly, and entered the Sui army, he was like a tiger breaking into the flock, the horse lance was flying, as if the wind swept away the leaves, where the head rolled, the broken arm flew horizontally, and the blood mist filled the sky, Yang Xuan felt invincible and unstoppable.
The soldiers of the Sui army were frightened by Yang Xuangan's bravery, and they turned around and fled for their lives, Yang Xuangan rushed into the enemy group on the left again, and suddenly the screams resounded in the sky, and the official road seemed to have become a Shura slaughterhouse, and the blood stained the land red.
With just one cup of tea, hundreds of Sui soldiers were killed by Yang Xuangan on the official road, the air was bloody and pungent, and there were mutilated corpses everywhere, and most of them were killed along with the war horses, and the flesh and blood of people were mixed together, which was extremely bloody and terrifying.
At this time, Yang Xuangan's brother Yang Jishan came from behind, and he shouted: "Big brother, the Yuwenshu army is coming, break through quickly!" ”
Yang Xuangan roared and swung his lance to kill the dense Sui soldiers in front of him.....
In the woods, the general of the Sui army looked coldly at Yang Xuangan's majesty, the Sui soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but he was unmoved, as if the person Yang Xuangan killed had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that Yang Xuangan was about to kill a bloody way, the general of the Sui army sneered, copied a spear in his hand, waved his arm, and the spear stabbed towards Yang Xuangan's back like a black lightning.
"Big brother beware!"
Yang Jishan, the brother of Yang Xuangan next to him, rushed up and blocked the spear with his body, only to hear a scream, the tip of the spear passed through his chest, and Yang Jishan was nailed to the ground alive by the spear.
Yang Xuangan's eyes were red, and his blood-red eyes stared at the general of the Sui army who came out of the woods, and suddenly burst out with a loud roar, "Yuwen Chengdu, today is either you die or I live!" ”
He waved his horse and urged the horse to pounce on the general of the Sui army.
The general of the Sui army is Yuwen Chengdu, he is the false son of Yuwen Shu, the commander of the Western Route Army of the Great Sui, the head of the famous Yuwen Thirteen Taibao, and was named the Tianbao general by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.
Yuwen Chengdu was ordered by Yuwen Shu to lead three thousand elites to take the small road and rush to the front of the defeated army one step ahead, cutting off Yang Xuangan's retreat.
Yuwen Chengdu urged the war horse, holding the phoenix wings gilt pistol slowly to meet it, his war horse is called the Demon Lin Beast, it is the king of the Sogdian Stone Kingdom to the Sui Emperor Yang Guang's best Dawan horse, Yuwen Chengdu pacified the Tuhun Valley people made great contributions, Yang Guang gave him this Dawan horse.
Yuwen Chengdu narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Yang Xuangan, although you are brave, you are not my opponent, surrender!" I'll spare your life. ”
Yang Xuangan is known as a tiger idiot, excellent martial arts, and is ranked by the military as the fourth fierce general in the world, while Yuwen Chengdu is a rising star, but he is fierce and good at fighting, brave and fierce, and has chased the world's first fierce general Shi Wanzai several times, and was praised by Yang Guang as unparalleled in the world.
Although Yang Xuangan was very aware of Yuwen Chengdu's bravery, but the revenge of killing his brother could not be avenged, he swung his long lance, shook out nine spear heads, and stabbed when he was distracted, as fast as a storm and lightning.
"Yuwen Chengdu, I will burn your jade!"
Yuwen Chengdu was not in a hurry, and the phoenix wings and gilt pistol swept away, seemingly unhappy, but the last to come first, just listen to 'dang! With a loud bang, Yang Xuangan's long lance was shocked and flew out, almost getting out of his hand.
Yang Xuangan was furious, the long lance stabbed eighty-one lances like a storm, Yuwen Chengdu waved like a fly, not a drop of water, and killed Yang Xuangan's lance one by one, he was infinitely powerful, and several times he almost hung up Yang Xuangan's horse lance.
The two sides fought for more than a dozen rounds, and Yang Xuan felt that his strength was gradually exhausted, and at this time, Yuwen Chengdu grabbed a loophole in the other party and yelled, "Yang Xuan feels dead!" ”
The phoenix wings and gilded hammers slashed obliquely, as fast as a ghost, and in an instant they arrived at Yang Xuangan's neck, the momentum was extremely fierce, and the wind made Yang Xuangan's breath stagnate.
Yang Xuan couldn't dodge, so he had to struggle to tilt his head back, he felt that he might not be able to dodge, so he couldn't help but close his eyes in despair, only listening to 'click!' With a bang, the golden crown on Yang Xuan's head was split and flew out, and the fierce wind carried by the blade stabbed his face in severe pain.
Yang Xuan was so frightened that he fell off his horse and ran south, his hair was scattered, and he was embarrassed.
Yuwen Chengdu sneered, and chased after the horse, the speed of the demonic beast under the crotch was extremely fast, and he caught up with Yang Xuangan in a moment, he waved the gilt hammer and slapped Yang Xuangan's back of the head, Yang Xuangan was all gray, and secretly shouted, 'My life is over!' ’
Seeing that Yang Xuangan was about to be slapped to pieces by the gilded hammer, at this moment, a cavalryman rushed in the distance and shouted with an order: "General Chengdu, the commander has an order, let Yang Xuangan leave!" ”
At the last moment, Yuwen Chengdu stopped the gilded hammer, strangled the war horse, and said coldly: "Spare your life today, get out of me!" “
Yang Xuangan desperately beat the war horse and fled to the south in a hurry......
On the big tree, Zhang Xuan was almost out of breath when he saw it, he saw the real battlefield battle for the first time, that kind of bloody violence, that kind of cruelty and bravery, he could see his blood trembling.
After all, Zhang Xuan was born in the military, and he practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he had an innate yearning for martial arts.
At this time, the flag was waving in the distance, and the endless army was coming to this side, this is the army led by Yuwen Shu to come, the army is numerous, and it will soon fill the entire official road, Zhang Xuan's situation has become very critical, whether he goes or not, he will inevitably be discovered by the Sui army.
But Zhang Xuan was surprisingly calm, grabbed two short spears from his side, and stared ahead with unblinking eyes, as if prey was about to appear in front of him.
In a moment, four Sui cavalry sentries rushed from a distance, passing by the big tree where they were, they had just walked through the big tree, Zhang Xuan waved his arms, and two short spears shot like lightning in front of and behind them, and slanted into the backs of the two cavalrymen, and the two cavalrymen fell off their horses with screams.
The other two were taken aback, and turned back sharply, but there was no one in the woods behind them, and when they were panicking, a green shadow fell from the sky, and sharp military thorns stabbed left and right, instantly piercing the heads of the two cavalrymen.
Only between the rabbit and the falcon, the four Sui cavalry had fallen to the ground, clean and neat, in one go, Zhang Xuan flew up and jumped on a war horse, and as soon as his legs clamped the war horse, he urged the horse to gallop, and soon disappeared into the depths of the woods.
Yuwen Chengdu also happened to see Zhang Xuan killing people and seizing horses, and he was secretly surprised by the other party's agile and decisive skills, and he immediately realized that this person was the one who killed Li Mi.
Yuwen Chengdu was about to urge the horse to chase, at this time, Yuwen Shu's second son Yuwen Zhihe had already led the army to arrive, and he shouted from afar: "Chengdu, my father ordered you to go to see him immediately." ”
Yuwen Chengdu had no choice but to point with a horsewhip and order a team of cavalry, "Go and chase the person in front!" ”
A group of cavalry shouted and rushed out, Yuwen Chengdu watched the back of the cavalry disappear, and then he turned his horse's head and ran towards the handsome flag in the distance.
