When Li Yan and the Red Lady were caught in the chaos army surrounded by more than a dozen clans and were fleeing in the direction of the wind in the Black Wind Ridge, the shouts and cheers suddenly sounded from behind, and Li Jun, who was in charge of the break, looked back, but it was the officers and cavalry of the brigade wearing fiery red robes who were rampage in the chaotic army, not to mention four or five hundred horsemen.

These hundreds of cavalry officers and soldiers were like a sharp scalpel, easily cutting through the defeated chaotic army, and soon discovered Li Yan and others.

"See the front?"

"That's the woman."

"The woman in red that the general said was him."

"Catch up and kill everyone around her......"

Hundreds of cavalry officers and soldiers quickly scattered in all directions, and rushed up towards Li Yan's dozen cavalry.

"Drive!"

Li Jun rode his horse fiercely, hurried to catch up with the red lady, and said loudly: "Sister-in-law, the red clothes on your body are too conspicuous, let's put on an ordinary person's clothes." ”

The red lady's heart moved, and she said to Li Jun: "Seventh brother, sister-in-law will lead a few people to lead away the pursuers, and you will escort the general back to Heifeng Ridge." ”

Li Jun categorically objected: "Sister-in-law, this is too dangerous. ”

"That's all there is to it." The red lady hurriedly said, "Otherwise, none of us will be able to leave." ”

Sure enough, as soon as the Red Lady turned around, the hundreds of cavalry officers and soldiers who were chasing after him also immediately turned around, and chased after them like a whirlwind, and in less than a moment, hundreds of cavalry disappeared cleanly in the wilderness.

Li Jun hurriedly rode his horse to catch up with Li Yan and said hurriedly: "Big brother, sister-in-law is in danger!" ”

Li Yan's face was gloomy, and he ignored Li Jun's words as if he hadn't heard them.

Li Jun thought that Li Yan didn't hear it, and repeated loudly: "Big brother, sister-in-law is in danger!" ”

"Drive!"

Li Yan still ignored it, but smashed the mount under his crotch fiercely, and rushed towards the Black Wind Ridge at a gallop.

In the chaotic army, hundreds of cavalry officers and soldiers have caught up with the Red Lady and several cavalry soldiers around her, a few screams, the male soldiers around the Red Lady have all fallen under the horse, died under the chaser of the chasing soldiers, only two female soldiers are still behind her, but the official cavalry has gradually crossed them, and soon forced them to stop.

"Drive."

"Huh."

"Hoha......"

Hundreds of cavalry officers and soldiers shouted, and the three of the red lady's master and servant quickly circled, shouting loudly while turning in circles: "Put down your arms, dismount and surrender!" ”

"Don't think!" The red lady's willow eyebrows were upside down, her apricot eyes were wide open, and she said coquettishly, "If there is a kind of you come up, the sword in the old lady's hand is not vegetarian." ”

The red lady's sense of Wang Pu is indeed very complicated, there are too many factors mixed in it, but she has no good impression of these officials and soldiers under Wang Pu, she can't kill Wang Pu, but she doesn't have a little psychological burden to kill these officials and soldiers, after all, she is a bandit, and the official army has always been a mortal enemy.

"Kill!"

An officer and soldier shouted loudly, slapped his horse and rushed out of the cavalry, and danced his sword to take the red lady.

The red lady also patted the horse to greet each other, the two horses could intersect only to listen to the sound, the official army has always been the red lady a sword off the horse, died immediately, his throat has been picked open.

"If there is anyone who is not afraid of death, just come up!" The red lady drew the sword and said, "The old lady will take you on the road together!" ”

At this time, the red lady has completely recovered her sassy and heroic posture, straddling on horseback like a majestic female leopard, which makes people feel terrified.

"General, this girl is so powerful, she will be killed by random arrows!"

"yes, kill her!"

"No, the general said, you can't hurt this girl, who the fuck dares to release a dark arrow to hurt this girl, the general can't spare Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu won't let you go."

There was a slight commotion among the officers and soldiers, and several horsemen shouted a proposal, which was immediately stopped by the leading generals.

"Dog officer, get out of the way of Lao Tzu!" When the two sides were facing each other, a thunderous shout suddenly sounded outside, "Senior sister, senior brother has saved you!" ”

"Senior brother?" The red lady's face changed, and she shouted coquettishly, "Senior brother, don't come in......"

The red lady was in a hurry, she knew that Wang Pu would not kill her, even if she was surrounded by officials and soldiers, she would be safe and sound, but the senior brother Jing Mao's achievements were different, Wang Pu would not kill her Red Lady, but the senior brother who killed her would not be a little soft-hearted, Jing Maocheng rushed in at this time, didn't he send him to death and add trouble?

However, it was too late, at this time, Jing Maocheng had already rushed into the official army with a few horsemen, this guy had just escaped from the chaos, and when he saw the red lady being surrounded, he rushed over to rescue desperately.

More than 100 cavalry officers and cavalry came up like the wind and surrounded Jing Maocheng, they received Wang Pu's military order, not to kill the woman in the red suit, but for the man next to her, Wang Pu's military order is only one, not to let one go, whether he lives or dies!

"Kill!"

The officers and soldiers led by the general order, dozens of lassos were thrown over, and the few horsemen who followed Jing Maocheng were immediately thrown off their horses, and before they could get up, hundreds of iron hooves had already trampled madly on them, and these thieves were trampled into meat in an instant.

Jing Maocheng is worthy of being a bandit, and his martial arts are strong.

With excellent equestrian skills and strong martial arts, Jing Maocheng cut down three officers and soldiers in succession, but his good luck only stopped there, when he was vigorous to meet the cavalry of the fourth cavalry, two cold arrows shot like lightning, Jing Maocheng hid in the horseback galloping pedal, but he could not avoid the two cold arrows, but he could not avoid the saber that met the defeat.

Hearing only a pop, Jing Maocheng's right shoulder and back had been pulled open a bloody wound, and in an instant, the right half of his body felt numb, and the saber held in his right hand could no longer be grasped.

Seeing that Jing Maocheng's head was about to be cut off, the red lady who had rushed not far away was in a hurry when she saw this, but she was blocked to death by more than a dozen cavalrymen, and she couldn't rush over, so she threw the sword in her hand in a hurry, and hit the saber that the official cavalry chopped down obliquely.

Although the red lady saved Jing Maocheng with this throw, she was able to catch herself.

More than a dozen cavalry officers and cavalry saw the opportunity and threw out the lasso at the same time, and put the red lady on the horseback to make a sturdy, and before she broke free, she was dragged to the ground, these lassos were all slipknots, the more the red lady struggled, the tighter the tie, and soon, she could no longer move, she could only lie on the ground and let someone slaughter.

Chuzhou.

After the defeat of the White Lotus thieves, in addition to sending 500 cavalry to chase Li Yan, Wang Pu did not order the whole army to pursue, and as a result, the defeated White Lotus thieves were able to calmly escape into the city of Chuzhou from the four gates.

What made Yuan Shizhong feel most angry was that Li Yan and Song Xiance both threw them away and ran away.

In fact, as early as the beginning of the war, Yuan Shizhong had never seen Song Xiance again, now that he thinks about it, this guy seems to have expected that today's battle will be lost, so he slipped away first, all kinds of signs show that Li Yan and Song Xiance didn't have any good intentions from the beginning, they just wanted to use his Yuan Shizhong's men and horses as cannon fodder.

If he can win, the credit will be Li Yan and Song Xiance, and if he loses, he will also die in Yuan Shizhong!

Yuan Shizhong, who felt that he had been tricked, was furious, while strictly guarding the four gates, he ordered to search for Li Yan and Song Xiance's people in the army, and after finding them, they were all beheaded on the spot.

The hundreds of thieves who fled back to Chuzhou City among the White Lotus thieves fell into bad luck and became ghosts under the knife in a daze.

■■■

Outside the city of Chuzhou.

After all the White Lotus thieves retreated into the city, Wang Pucai drove the army to surround it, this time it was not just camped outside the east gate, but divided the troops to surround the four gates, and set up four large camps outside the four gates, and also ordered to dig a trench around the city, and then build a fence, intending to enclose the entire city to be impassable.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Simen battalion had just been settled, and the five hundred cavalry who had pursued and killed them returned.

In addition to dozens of bloody human heads, there are also two living mouths of the Red Lady and Jing Maocheng, of which Jing Maocheng was seriously injured and was unconscious.

After everyone left, Wang Pu stepped forward to loosen the tie for the red lady.

The red lady rubbed her jade arm that was tied up painfully, couldn't help but glance back at Wang Pu, and asked, "Wang Pu, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”

"No, it won't." Wang Pu met the beautiful eyes of the red lady, smiled and shook his head, "I know you won't kill me, just like you know I won't kill you." ”

The red lady's heart trembled, and she quickly looked away.

That's true, she really can't do anything to Wang Puhong, she doesn't even want to take him hostage, there are too many complicated factors here, especially the two have had two skin-to-skin kisses, when they think of the bizarre and desolate encounter on the desert island, the red lady will still feel red and red, and at the same time feel deep guilt and guilt.

Wang Pu walked to the back of the case and sat down, and asked, "What about Li Yan?" ”

"He's gone." The red lady didn't dare to look back, and responded softly, "I'll lead someone to lure your pursuers away." ”

"Hey, misstep." Wang Pu patted his forehead and said with annoyance, "I should have thought of this a long time ago." ”

"Wang Pu." The red lady suddenly looked back at Wang Pu and said in a condensed voice, "If you dare to move Xianggong, I will kill you now." ”

"Then you can kill me." Wang Pu said with a smile, "Li Yan, I have to kill him." ”

"Why?" The red lady was so anxious that her voice changed, and she said in a trembling voice, "Weren't you good when you were in Datong, why do you have to fight to the death now?" ”

If the red lady chooses one thing she is most unwilling to face, it is definitely Li Yan and Wang Pu fighting to the death on the battlefield, on the one hand, she still loves Li Yan, but on the other hand, she has a bad relationship with Wang Pu, no matter what happens in the end, she doesn't want the two of them to have an accident, let alone see them fight to the death.

Wang Pudao: "When we were in Datong, we were able to get along without trouble because I needed him, and he also needed me, but now this is not the case, for me Li Yan is now the biggest threat, and for Li Yan, I am the biggest obstacle to his ambitions!" Just like Li Yan will kill me by any means, I will kill him at any cost! ”

"Then you can kill me first." The red lady closed her beautiful eyes, and two crystal tears slipped down her cheeks quietly, "As long as I am here, you can rest and hurt him a hair." ”

"Ugh." Wang Pu sighed and said softly, "Red girl, you make me very embarrassed. ”

The red lady's beautiful eyes were closed, silent, but a sense of sorrow surged in Fang's heart for no reason, God, what's going on? Could it be that she created something evil in her previous life, so God would punish her like this, punishing her for being caught between two men in this life, and she was in a dilemma?

"Okay." Wang Pu hesitated for a long time and sighed, "Let's go." ”

The red lady opened her beautiful eyes a little stunned: "You want to let me go?" ”

Wang Pu sighed and said, "Let's go, go back to Li Yan, tell Li Yan, and let him stop fighting Jiangnan's idea." ”

The red lady asked, "What about Senior Brother Jing?" ”

"Jing Maocheng?" Wang Pu shook his head and said, "This person can't be released." ”

"Then I'm not leaving."

The red lady turned around and turned her back to Wang Pu.

The red lady insisted on asking Wang Pu to release Jing Maocheng, in fact, there was another meaning, if she returned to Li Yan alone, how should she explain to Li Yan? At that time, she was surrounded by hundreds of cavalry officers and soldiers, and even captured alive, but many of the brothers who fled saw it.

How do you tell Li Yan when you go back?

Wang Pu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Jing Mao can't let it go, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to my brothers." ”

The red lady unconsciously pursed her lips and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "Then if you let me go, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to explain to the brothers?" ”

"You ......" Wang Pu was speechless, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence, "Don't make trouble." ”

■■■

Heifengling Dazhai.

Song Xiance sat on the Juyi Hall with a gloomy expression, and in front of him stood Li Yan and Li Hu, who also looked gloomy, and not only lost more than the hundreds of thousands of troops of the White Lotus Sect in the first battle of Chuzhou, but also the three thousand musket teams brought by Li Yan from Henan, but what made Song Xiance and Li Yan the most unacceptable was that they lost the opportunity to settle Jiangnan forever.

Li Yan turned his head sideways and asked Li Hudao: "Huzi, what about Jing Maochenghe, Li Xuan, and the leopard brothers in the mountains?" ”

"Ugh." Li Hu sighed and said, "I heard from the brothers who fled back to the cottage that Brother Li Xuan and the leopard brothers in the mountains were dead, and Jing Maocheng wanted to save his sister-in-law, but he was captured alive by the official army with his sister-in-law. ”

Li Yan asked again, "What about the casualties of the brothers?" ”

Li Hu said gloomily: "Only more than 200 people escaped. ”

Li Yan's brows tightened for a moment, but the 3,000 musket team only fled back to more than 200 people, almost the entire army was wiped out, and also lost the Red Lady, Li Xuan and Jing Maocheng.

Li Hu said: "Big brother, military advisor, what now?" ”

Li Yan didn't answer, and looked back at Song Xiance.

Song Xiance sighed, and said with some frustration: "Wang Pu's artillery is too powerful, we are not his opponent now, let's go back to Henan, after going back, this army division will try its best to persuade the major general to launch a large army to the south, first destroy Ma Shiying in Fengyang, and then come to clean up Wang Pu." ”

"But the eldest brother ......," Li Hu said hurriedly, "my sister-in-law is still in Wang Pu's hands, and I have to save her." ”

"General Li Yan." Song Xiance said in a condensed voice, "Don't be rash, especially not for the sake of women." ”

Li Yan's eyes were deep, and he replied in a low voice: "The last general understands." ”

Song Xiance nodded and said, "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, pass the order, let the brothers rest for a good night, and leave for Henan early tomorrow morning." ”

■■■

Outside Chuzhou City, the official army camp.

Monk Zhang hurriedly stepped into the big tent and waved his fist at Wang Pu and said, "General, I am fortunate to be humble and not dishonored." ”

"Monk!" Wang Pu was pleasantly surprised, "You're back?" ”

"I'm back."

"What about the five thousand elite thieves?"

"It has been brought to Puzikou and is now stationed there."

"Okay." Wang Puxi said, "Monk, you have made meritorious service again, and after you go back, the general will definitely be rewarded." ”

"General, don't be rewarded for your humble duties." Monk Zhang said solemnly, "There is only one request for humility. ”

"Say." Wang Pu said loudly, "What request?" ”

Monk Zhang said sincerely: "Please let the general release Jing Maocheng." ”

"What!" Wang Pu frowned and said, "Let Jing Maocheng go?" ”

"General." The monk said in a condensed voice, "The monk is a rough man, he doesn't know any big truths, and he doesn't know how to tell the general, but the monk thinks that Brother Jing Maocheng is a good man!" A real hero he is a hero, whether it is a bandit or an official soldier, he is a hero, and the monk thinks that a hero like Jing Maocheng cannot be killed. ”

Wang Pu frowned and said unhappily: "It's okay not to kill him, as long as you can persuade him to surrender to the official army." ”

"General, you know it's impossible." Monk Zhang said solemnly, "If Jing Maocheng is willing to surrender, then he is not worth it, and there is no need for the monk to intercede for him." ”

"Then what nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Pu patted the case and said angrily, "Monk, do you know how many brothers died at his hands? If he were to be released today, how many brothers would die at his hands in the future? ”

"This monk knows." Monk Zhang said, "But he killed our brothers and we killed them, they are just their own masters, there is no personal grudge between them, the monk still hopes that the general will let him go, even if one day in the future, the monk will die in his hands on the battlefield, there is no complaint." ”

"Nope." Wang Pu said categorically, "This matter is not discussed. ”

"General......

"Get out!"

Monk Zhang wanted to persuade again, but Wang Pu couldn't help but blast out of the tent.

When Monk Zhang left, Wang Pu's eyes suddenly floated a sly smile, when he was in Datong, Wang Pu asked Monk Zhang to deliberately approach Jing Maocheng without any good intentions, he knew that there would be such a result today, Monk Zhang and Jing Maocheng were born the same and have a similar temper, they will definitely sympathize with each other and take them as confidants.

Soon, Lu Liu entered the tent and said, "General, the monk went straight to the tent where Jing Maocheng was being held, do you want to send someone to intercept him?" ”

"No need." Wang Pu shook his head and said, "Let him go." ”

"But ......," Lu Liu said hurriedly, "what if he lets Jing Maocheng go?" ”

"Didn't you hear me?" Wang Pu frowned and said, "Let him go!" ”

Lu Liu hurriedly bowed his head and responded, "Yes." ”

■■■

Jing Maocheng's wounds have been treated and bandaged, although his face is still a little pale, but his spirit is much better, that is, his wrists and ankles are tied, and he is unable to move.

When Monk Zhang strode into the tent, Jing Maocheng was lying on the ground like a dog licking the food in the rice bowl, Jing Maocheng and Monk Zhang are both the same reckless surname, they are the master who does not shed tears when they don't see the coffin, as long as they don't die for a moment, they will not give up the hope of life for a moment, hunger strike and death in their eyes is anger, they will never disdain to do this kind of stupid thing.

"Brother Monk?"

Jing Maocheng straightened up, licked the two grains of rice from the corner of his mouth into his mouth, and asked vaguely, "Why are you here?" ”

Monk Zhang didn't speak, stepped forward and took the rice bowl and sent it to Jing Maocheng's mouth, Jing Maocheng opened his mouth, and honestly and unceremoniously began to gobble up, until he was full of food and drink, he licked his lips unsatisfied, squinted at Monk Zhang, and said loudly: "Brother monk, thank you." ”

Monk Zhang turned to look at the several officers and soldiers standing solemnly in the tent, and said coldly: "You all go out." ”

Several officers and soldiers were puzzled: "General, this ......"

Monk Zhang said angrily: "Get out!" Roll away for Lao Tzu, who the fuck dares to take a step closer to the tent, don't blame Lao Tzu for not recognizing the knife in his hand! ”

Several officers and soldiers couldn't help but change their faces and walked out of their tents in a gray manner.

When the officers and soldiers left, Monk Zhang suddenly pulled out a dagger, stepped forward and broke the cow tendon rope on Jing Maocheng's wrist and ankle, Jing Maocheng's eyes were fixed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Monk, what do you mean?" ”

Monk Zhang still didn't say anything, just quickly unloaded the robe and armor on his body, and then stabbed the dagger into his right chest with his backhand, blood splashed, Monk Zhang couldn't help but snort and frowned.

Jing Maocheng hurriedly stepped forward to support Monk Zhang, and hurriedly said, "Brother, what are you doing here?" ”

"Brother Maocheng." Monk Zhang pointed to the armor and battle robe on the ground, and said in a low voice, "You and I look seven points alike, as long as you change into this, no one will dare to stop you." ”

Jing Maocheng asked in a condensed voice, "Brother, do you want to let me go?" ”

"That's right." Monk Zhang said, "You and my brother are like-minded, I can't watch you die." ”

Jing Maocheng couldn't bear to say: "I'm leaving, what are you going to do?" Wang Pu, he won't spare you! ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Jing Mao said, "General, he rewarded me with a whip at most, and he was reluctant to kill me." ”

"But ......"

"Don't." Monk Zhang hurriedly said, "Change into clothes and armor, and go!" ”

Jing Maocheng glanced at Monk Zhang deeply, and said in a condensed voice: "Brother, my brother owes you a favor!" ”

After that, Jing Maocheng began to drape quickly, and in less than a moment, he put on Monk Zhang's robe and armor, the two were similar in stature, and they were seven points similar in length, plus it was not good at night, so it looked really similar at first glance.
