Chapter 120: Gathering Troops and Preparing for War
"Whoosh!"
A cold arrow struck at the chest, and the person in front didn't even have time to avoid it, and fell down with a bang. Then, the fire was loud, the voices of the people were boiling, and a group of people and horses flashed, blocking all the way.
"Dog!"
It was too late for anything, Chen Nuo and Zhang Baiqi saw that the person who fell at the front was Zhuo Gouwa. Zhuo Gouwa fell down and died on the spot. Chen Nuo is not very good, but Zhang Baiqi has a evil in his heart, which is inevitably miserable. You must know that he can get out of trouble today all thanks to Zhuo Gouwa's message, but he just attracted Chen Nuo, but he was accidentally killed by this cold arrow, which was very uncomfortable for Zhang Baiqi.
Just before, because the heavy place where Zhang Baiqi was imprisoned caught fire for no reason, Zhang Baiqi suddenly disappeared the little girl Milai, which was naturally easy to find. Although Mi Laiqi has nothing to do with him, she is from Chen Nuo's side, so of course he can't see her have anything to do. It's just that in the end, Milai didn't find it, but waited for Chen Nuo and others. Fortunately, the scene was chaotic at that time, and the bandits near the left were in a hurry to put out the fire, so naturally no one saw through the identities of Chen Nuo and others, which gave Chen Nuo and others the opportunity to save people. In addition, the people in command over there were confused and wanted to hand over Zhang Baiqi to them to take away and guard, so Chen Nuo and the others followed their wishes and brought Zhang Baiqi out smoothly.
It's just that they haven't gone far this way, and Zhuo Gouwa, who was leading the way in front, was suddenly shot and killed on the spot by such a cold arrow, and then rushed out of a group of people, which was really sudden. At this time, Zhang Baiqi and the others naturally couldn't take care of the dead Zhuo Gouwa, so they could only gather nervously, trying to find a way out.
There were hundreds of men and horses killed in front of them, and the fire came and blocked the road, and they were about to rush in a moment.
Chen Nuo looked at it, his brows were raised, and he was thinking about countermeasures, not wanting one of the thieves to scream again and again, and frequently pointed at Chen Nuo and others with halberds in his hand, shouting: "It's them, it's them!" ”
Chen Nuo listened to the man's sharp voice, and he already knew it in his heart. It's no wonder that the cottage is in such a mess that there are still people who take care of the back mountain, it turned out to be the patrol team that encountered before, although they were killed at the time, only the two of them ran away in the end, I didn't expect them to lead people to kill so quickly.
"Who are you waiting for, dare to try to kidnap the felony Zhang Baiqi, and still don't let him go!"
The bandit leader who led the way shouted like this, and Zhang Baiqi had already heard it, knowing that this person was Wang Gu's henchman, and it was not so easy to beg him to give way. Zhang Baiqi was anxious, and said to Chen Nuo gloomily: "The people who come are so tight that they will not give way, I am afraid that this time I will affect you, the general!" ”
Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows, and he didn't speak, and was about to call Zhu Rong Qingyi to let people kill a bloody road, but he didn't want to, but suddenly there was a change. The distance between them and the bandits seemed to be a little close, but in fact, the team was still half a mile away. And at this moment, there was a sudden scream in the oblique thorn, and another group of centaurs rushed out, which immediately shocked the centaur in front of him. The little leader of this group of centaurs was also shocked when he saw that the people were coming violently, and there were endless people and horses coming behind him, and he didn't dare to do it for a while.
The man immediately reined in his horse, looked at the oblique stab for a while, and finally saw the doorway, and suddenly broke off: "The person who came is the left leader of the left colonel?" ”
One of the centaurs in the spur suddenly replied, "It's the leader!" ”
When the man heard this, his heart was relieved, and he patted his horse and said: "The left leader, you came just in time, there are people here who want to rob Zhang Baiqi, and the left leader can intercept and kill with me and take back the felon!" ”
As he spoke, the men and horses rushing from the oblique spurs were already approaching, and the person who led the way in front of him, known as Colonel Zuo, held an iron fork and walked towards the man who spoke, and nodded again and again: "Very good, very good!" He was very good, and suddenly the iron fork in his hand was raised to the man's chest, and he suddenly forked it.
Left ......
The man never expected that Colonel Zuo would suddenly attack him, but before he could draw his sword, a fork with the sound of wind and thunder had already crossed straight into his chest. The man ate this pain, but he didn't hurt the key point for a while, and he wanted to grab his iron fork with his hand, but he didn't want to be yelled at by Colonel Zuo again, so he made a fierce force, and he had already poured his strength into the iron fork and lifted his whole person out of thin air. And just when everyone was stunned, the iron fork in Colonel Zuo's hand was thrown away, and there was a sound in his throat, and the person had already been thrown off the horse.
Thrown off the horse's back with such a violent force, coupled with the injury to his chest, the man did not die immediately, but still wanted to get up and fight with Colonel Zuo. It's just that where did Colonel Zuo give him this opportunity, and he didn't make a fork, and suddenly lifted the reins of the horse, and with a broken drink, even the people led the horse to step on the man.
"Ahh
The two front hooves stepped on it together, and directly trampled the man to pieces, and blood gushed from the corners of his mouth, and he was killed in a blink of an eye.
"Who else is not afraid of death!"
The left school danced with a fork, and it was two forks in a row. These people had no leader, they had already collapsed in shock, and naturally no one dared to mess around, and they fled without a trace. The Colonel Zuo led the men and horses over, and killed the henchman of the old king just now, which is a long story, but it was only a matter of a moment, and by the time Zhang Baiqi and the others reacted, the Colonel Zuo had already dispersed these people and horses who were blocking the way. Seeing that the situation here was stabilized, Colonel Zuo immediately rushed to Zhang Baiqi and the others with his men and horses.
As soon as Colonel Zuo, who was far away, looked up and saw Zhang Baiqi, he immediately fell off his horse and bowed to Zhang Baiqi: "Boss Zhang, I frightened you this time, Zuo really can't stand you!" Originally, I should have rescued the big boss before this, but because the king was well guarded and the Xiliang thieves helped, it was really inconvenient for me to do it, so it was delayed until now. Originally, I still wanted to take advantage of the current chaos to rescue Leader Zhang from the cage, but fortunately, Leader Zhang is fine, and Zuo is relieved. ”
"Left leader, you have a heart!"
Zhang Baiqi stretched out his hand, supported Colonel Zuo's arms, and nodded heavily to him to express his gratitude. To be honest, this Zuo Colonel is one of the many leaders of Tianwangzhai like him, although his prestige is not as good as his Zhang Baiqi, but in terms of status, he is the same as Zhang Baiqi, there is no distinction between superior and inferior. Maybe it's because Zhang Baiqi's prestige is too much, and Colonel Zuo is usually the only one who looks forward to him, and everyone knows that Zhang Baiqi deserves the throne of the big boss this time, so it's not an exaggeration for Colonel Zuo to be so generous to Zhang Baiqi, and Zhang Baiqi really deserves it.
Of course, it is not difficult for Zhang Baiqi to understand that his left colonel dared to lay a black hand on Wang Gu's henchmen today and led his subordinates to save him, but it was not a blind move. Come to think of it, he had a good relationship with Zuo Xiao in the past, but he really committed a big taboo against Wang Gu, and Wang Gu couldn't let Zuo Xiao go. And the reason why Wang Gu still hasn't done it until now is naturally because time is urgent, and he can't spare his hand to deal with him, so he can't survive for the time being. In this way, since he Zuo Colonel considered that once Wang Gu came to power, he would not have a good life, so he was naturally uneasy in his heart, and he wanted to find a way out for himself, so he thought of taking the risk to rescue Zhang Baiqi. And only he rode to the stage in vain, he was not only a meritorious minister, but his wealth was incomparable, and he also got rid of the big trouble of the king, wouldn't he kill two birds with one stone?
Although the two of them didn't say anything at this time, in fact, their hearts were open, and since they were each taking what they needed, they also tacitly understood it. At that moment, Zhang Baiqi introduced Colonel Zuo to Chen Nuo, met with each other, and asked Colonel Zuo about the number of people, knowing that there were no less than thousands of people contacted, and there were quite a few. Since Colonel Zuo handed over the baton to him, he accepted it unceremoniously. It's just that Zhang Baiqi was burned by the fire before, and considering that Chen Nuo is the biggest official after all, and has experience in leading troops to fight, not to mention that people are kind to him, so he handed over the command to Chen Nuo and asked Chen Nuo to take command on his behalf.
Chen Nuo excused himself for a few sentences, so he was not polite, and directly took down the command, and continued to run towards the main village of Tianwang Village with everyone. After all, there are still more than 100 people from Zhang Sheng on the other side of the main village, and Wang Gu and others are also there, and the most important thing at the moment is to meet Zhang Sheng, and then transfer troops to kill Wang Gu. If you want to capture the thief and capture the king, as long as the king is taken down by him, the rest of the people will be appeased by Zhang Baiqi, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about it. Only Chen Nuo's side had just walked halfway, and suddenly a team of people rushed towards him, scurrying like rats.
Although Chen Nuo didn't know what was going on, he saw that these people were wearing black armor and holding black wood to chop horses. Knife, needless to say, I know that I have encountered Lei Gong's defeated soldiers. And behind this group of people, there are countless fire dragons running over here, chasing after this group of black armor soldiers. At this time, Chen Nuo could not continue to let the horses advance, so he immediately ordered the team to stop, and set up a posture on the spot, preparing to meet the attacking enemy.
It's a pity that these people are all bandits, who don't know what kind of position to put on, just tell them not to run around and stick to the local area.
The Black Armor Army gradually ran towards this side, probably because they did not discern the situation clearly, and they were shocked to see another group of men and horses neatly placed there in front of them, and they did not move like a mountain. Those black-armored soldiers had just run halfway out, and suddenly stopped again, looking ahead and looking back, it was really chaotic, and everyone was running away, and they were completely confused. Chen Nuo's side hasn't fought yet, the Black Armor Army has already been frightened, and even Lei Gong, who was in the group of thieves, is also walking around at this time, not knowing what to do.
"Wow! God is going to kill me today! ”
Lei Gong roared to the sky, very unwilling. In fact, it's no wonder that he thinks about it, he came to Hongnong to pass the Black Mountain Order on the order of Zhang Yan Marshal this time, but unfortunately not a single token was passed out, first defeated by Chen Nuo, and then by Wang so unreasonable trouble, a big battle, now the enemy family has been driven to this point, look at the dumplings before and after, how does this make him not anxious? Only Lei Gong just shouted this sentence, but it did not escape Chen Nuo's ears. When Chen Nuo heard this, his heart moved, and he immediately stood up and shouted to Lei Gong's side and asked, "Is the person who came Lei Shuai?" ”
"Who?!"
Although Lei Gong was frightened away, he didn't know why, but his ear power was still very good. He suddenly heard the person on the other side ask loudly, and he was also shocked, raised his eyes to look, and saw Chen Nuo at a glance, and his face couldn't help but change greatly. He instinctively wanted to run away, but he thought that Chen Nuo had not dealt with him when he had been defeated at the hands of Chen Nuo before, and he thought that he would definitely not do that thing at this time, so he suddenly stopped running.
Anyway, going back is death, and there is still a glimmer of hope going forward, so bet on him. Lei Gong thought about these clearly, so he didn't hesitate anymore, and ran to Chen Nuo's side, shouting all the way: "It's General Chen Nuo on the other side, wow, I'm Lei Gong, please General Chen save me!" ”
Zhu Rong Qingyi was behind Chen Nuo, remembering that Lei Gong had injured Chen Nuo before, and it was very unpleasant to hear him shout for help at this time, so he immediately stepped forward and was about to scold, but Chen Nuo stopped him in time. Chen Nuo didn't want to fall out with Montenegro, he stopped Lei Gong from passing on the Montenegrin order, for his interests in Guanzhong, and there was absolutely no need for the two to fight to the death. Besides, reaching out to Lei Gong at this time, in addition to resolving the previous grudge between the two, it is also to show favor to Montenegro.
Chen Nuo drank Zhu Rong Qingyi back, and then said to Lei Gong: "Ah, it's really Lei Shuai!" Lei Shuai, don't say anything, hurry up and bring the men and horses to my formation! Chen Nuo said, while letting people make a hole and let Lei Gong and the horses in. And Lei Gong was running for his life at this time, where did he take care of so much, so he hurriedly greeted left and right, and ran towards Chen Nuo's formation. As soon as Lei Gong came to Chen Nuo, he complained to Chen Nuo. said that the king was unreasonable, and if he didn't say a word, he would face each other with swords, thinking that if he hadn't run fast, he was afraid that this gang would have been besieged and killed by the king's old man.
Lei Gong had a few more wounds on his body at this time, and he was extremely embarrassed, he didn't say a few words to Chen Nuo, and he thought about going backwards. When Chen Nuo saw it, he immediately stopped him, so that he didn't need to leave, and only said that there was a back village and there was no way. When Lei Gong heard this, he was shocked. Chen Nuo next to him said to him: "The brigade that wants to come to the old king's house is about to come over, and now it is impossible to run, and for today's plan, I can only fight to the death, but I don't know how many people and horses in Lei Shuai's hands can fight?" ”
Lei Gong was slightly stunned, glanced at the people around him, and said helplessly: "Originally, my three hundred black armor troops were all the elite of the elite, but I didn't expect to lose almost seventy or eighty people in today's battle, and now it seems that there are only more than two hundred." ”
There are more than 200 people, which is a lot. Thinking that the king mobilized the men and horses of each village to pounce on Lei Gong, Lei Gong only broke through the siege with the loss of less than 100 people, which was enough to see the strength of this force. It seems that if you want to meet the next killing of Wang Gu, you have to rely on this team. Chen Nuo thought for a while and said, "There are more than two hundred black armor troops, I don't know how you want to use Lei Shuai?" ”
When Lei Gong heard this, he sighed lightly, shook his head and said: "I just suffered a defeat, and it's already good to be able to run out one by one, where can I expect to be able to use them, it's already good that they don't make trouble for Ben Shuai." ”
Lei Gong's words are actually very right, although the Black Armor Army is elite, but it has just suffered a defeat, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to use. Chen Nuo next to him was different, smiled hesitantly, and said: "You can't say that, the so-called death and then life, if I say that I can use them, Lei Shuai, you see ......"
When Lei Gong heard this, he immediately smiled: "Of course, if General Chen is willing to use them, this commander can temporarily hand over this force to General Chen, you to command." "After Lei Gong heard Chen Nuo's word 'good', he immediately called his subordinates and others, and passed the word, telling them to obey Chen Nuo's command. In this way, Chen Nuo not only has the thousands of bandits brought by Colonel Zuo in his hands, but now that there is this black armor army, his power will naturally increase greatly, and the chance of victory will naturally be greater.
At the critical time, Chen Nuo was not verbose, and before the army of the old king had completely pounced, he hurriedly organized people to deploy defense.
Of course, when Chen Nuo urgently arranged people on his side, Wang Gu over there had already hurried after him.
In the first place, because he got the letter from Hu Chi'er's mouth, he found Xiliang as a backer, so naturally he didn't take Montenegro in his eyes. And he, once he identifies this, he will inevitably make a mistake when talking to Lei Gong, and he will not take Lei Gong in his eyes. And Lei Gong is already that fiery temper, where can he endure the arrogance of the king, and his words can't help but be aggressive. No one on either side spared anyone, and in the end, the words were reversed, and the king bluntly said that he would not accept his Black Mountain order, and instigated others not to accept this token. In this way, there is no room for both sides, and naturally there is no discord and fighting.
It's just this move, after all, there are other villages in it, and this sword is an eyeless thing, which will inevitably bump and damage, and in the end, each village is a big fight, and the scene is chaotic all of a sudden. And after Lei Gong lost dozens of people, seeing that the opponent's men and horses kept coming, he knew that it was difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, so he took advantage of the chaos to break out. It's just that all other sides are blocked tightly by the old king's people, and he can only run towards the back mountain without a head.
And Wang Gu, naturally, couldn't get rid of Lei Gong, and immediately sent troops to pursue. It's just that because he had such a fuss with Lei Gong, the other villages were fighting miserably, so they had to deal with this side first, pressed the soldiers, and forced the people and horses of each village to one place, which shocked the people and horses of all departments, and it was okay for the time being. After the matter was dealt with here, Wang Gu had a chance to get rid of his hands and chase after him, otherwise Lei Gong would not have been able to run to Chen Nuo's side in style.
It's a pity that in the chaos, Zhang Sheng brought too few people, and he wanted to take this opportunity to disturb the villages in order to delay the king's death. It's just that he underestimated the king, but he didn't expect the chaos to be quelled by him soon, and he naturally didn't want to make trouble anymore. Zhang Sheng's side and the people and horses of the village were temporarily shocked by the king and could not withdraw, so the king led the people and horses to the back mountain to kill. Only Wang Gu hadn't reached the halfway point, first heard that the mountain fire had started, Zhang Bai rode away, and then heard that the front road was blocked, he hurriedly commanded the left and right people, etc., regardless of his three-seven-twenty-one, all of them went forward to meet Chen Nuo's battle formation, which was a burst of rushing and killing.
