Seeing a majestic horse coming, all the Yellow Turban thieves were frightened and moved back.

"Who is Zhang Cheng?" Zhang Yuan looked at the two leaders of the thief army and asked.

Zhang Chengce immediately stepped forward and said, "I am, who are you?" ”

"The one who took your life." Zhang Yuan said, and directly raised his gun and killed the general. Zhang Cheng's face trembled, and he barely rushed out with this big knife, but unfortunately before a round, he was stabbed under the horse by Zhang Yuan. When Zhang Shuang saw it, he was already frightened, and turned the horse's head to escape. However, Zhang Yuan was fast, caught up with him in two steps, and stabbed him to death with a shot before Zhang Shuang escaped into the army. When the thieves saw this, they all panicked and fled.

Zhang Yuan did not command the army to pursue, but let the army stay outside the city, he took a few guards into the city to meet Zhang Yu, after entering the city, the people knew that his ancestor Zhao's army, they all went out to welcome, told him that someone was buried at the end of the city, hoping that he could help save people. When Zhang Yuan heard this, he immediately went with the army and ordered to save people immediately.

In the end, after four or five hours of rescue, all the people who were sold inside were rescued, a total of twelve people, nine of whom had been stoned to death, and three of them were still breathing. Unfortunately, two people died during the treatment, and a boy in his teenage years was finally out of danger.

Zhang Yuan was very sad, if he could rescue them half an hour earlier, maybe all three of them would survive, or some of the people who had died could also survive. After pacifying the people, Zhang Yuan ordered the soldiers to rest in Haiyang City for a day and a night, and set off at dawn on the third day.

When the army was leaving, the people went out of the city one after another to send each other, and they sent clothes and food, which moved Zhang Yuan's army very much, and some soldiers even shed tears. The army left Haiyang, traveled day and night, and during this period, they also encountered a lot of Yellow Turban thieves, and when they saw Zhang Yuan, they all fled from the wind, and did not dare to fight with him at all.

Zu Zhao, who was in a bitter battle in Yangle, was very happy when he heard that Zhang Yuan was coming. I even heard that after he knew all the way about the reinforcements of the Yellow Turban Thieves, he praised him for a while. At this time, the army led by Zhao Meng also successfully stopped the attack of Yan Liang's army and forced Yan Liang's army back to Jizhou.

At this point, the three-way army was in Yangle and surrounded it.

Zhang Yuanbu and Zhao Mengbu both arrived in Liaoxi almost at the same time, and after the two * met, they heard that each other broke the two big * under Yuan Shao's command, and they couldn't help but praise each other, the so-called heroes cherish heroes, and they gave high praise to each other's abilities.

Zu Zhao was also very happy after seeing them, but Zu Zhao also told them the biggest problem encountered in attacking Liaoxi County, that is, Li Ran, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, made a flying stone secret weapon in one hand, and he couldn't get close at all, so Zu Zhao besieged Yangle here for a long time, but he couldn't achieve any results.

Zhang Yuan said: "The stone hidden weapon is not very lethal, right?" When I go to fight tomorrow, I will take him down. ”

Zu Zhao shook his head and said: "Wen Yuan can't be underestimated, that guy is so good, the speed of his attack is extraordinary, if he just uses stones, it would be better, but he is using a nine-section whip at the same time, your spear could have restrained his nine-section whip, but once your gun is entangled in the nine-section whip, he immediately attacks with flying stones, and when he uses the nine-section whip, he can also use flying stones at the same time, he is really a very good guy, and he can't help him at all." ”

Zhang Yuan said unconvinced: "General, I will personally meet him tomorrow, but I want to see what kind of good a rebel thief can have." I haven't lost anyone's spear yet. Zhao Meng on the side said: "I wish you a victory, but if you are unfortunately defeated, I will also capture him." ”

Zhang Yuanha smiled and said, "Maybe you don't have a chance, I will definitely catch him." ”

Zu Zhao saw that the two generals were so kind and brave, and he was naturally happy in his heart, but he still warned again and again that he must be careful, when one person fights, the rest of the people had better use bows and arrows to secretly assist, although not to mention shooting the enemy, he can't let him hurt our general.

On the morning of the twenty-first day, Zhang Yuan led a team of men and horses to fight, and as soon as he arrived in the city, he did not call a few times, the city gate opened, and a team of men and horses rushed out, all of them with loose hair and yellow turbans on their foreheads. is the first person, the body is not very strong, but look at the hands, but it is powerful, at first glance, it is a person who has a good job in his hands, he has no weapons in his hands, but there is a shining object on his waist, Zhang Yuan knows, that is the nine-section whip, so this person is Li Ran.

"Who are you, that you are sent to death today? It is said that there are generals under Zu Zhao's command, and I think they are all a group of vulnerable waste. Li Ran didn't put Zu Zhao in his eyes, and when he spoke, he looked east and west, looking very leisurely.

Zhang Yuan said angrily: "A thief, how dare you be so rampant." I'm Zhang Yuan, I want to try your nine-section whip and flying stone today, even if you attack, I have to take your life. ”

Hearing that it was Zhang Yuan, Li Ran felt a little interested, stared at his gun and said, "Do you know that I used a nine-section whip and deliberately brought such a spear?" Oh, I see, you're a spearman. However, no matter what you use for a few days, I will defeat you and let you know that my nine-section whip is the weapon of the king of the world, and I am the king of the world. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "What a rampant tone. Then let me teach you how to take a look. Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yuan had already rushed forward with a gun. When Li Ran saw it, he smiled, shook his spirits, and also patted the horse and rushed forward. Seeing Zhang Yuan stab out with one shot, Li Ran immediately pulled out a nine-section whip from his waist and danced rapidly.

There was also a cluster of red tassels on the head of his nine-section whip, and under his rapid dancing, it felt like his whole body was wrapped in a red thing, and he couldn't find the point of attack at all. Zhang Yuan couldn't help but be secretly surprised, this Li Ran's skills were really flexible, the nine-section whip in his hand was all following the trend, but there was an orderly attack and defense, and he couldn't find a breakthrough at all.

Zhang Yuanting fought hard, fought for more than 50 rounds, and couldn't get close to half a step, and he was even more surprised in his heart, he wanted to rush to win, but the more anxious he became, the more panicked he became, and finally he was careless, and the whip flew directly across his forehead, stabbing a long blood mark.

Li Ran saw that Zhang Yuan was injured, stopped the attack, and said: "If you hadn't had a shackle to protect you, I'm afraid that your skull would have cracked a long time ago, I think you have some ability, why don't you surrender to me, overthrow the traitorous ministers with me, kill the dog emperor, and enjoy the glory and wealth together?" ”

Zhang Yuan scolded: "You only know that you enjoy the glory and wealth, but you don't care about the suffering of the people, do you want me to follow you to cause evil on the people of the world?" ”

Li Ran also said angrily: "You are now aiding and abusing, what is the emperor like, don't you know the way?" The DPRK and China are full of fish and flesh and common people, who has thought about the people? If there are really people for the sake of the people, why will these brothers behind me be strange with me, aren't they just trying to overthrow injustice? This is the way of heaven and the removal of harm in the name. Tianming said, I will definitely be a messenger to the disciples of the world. ”

Zhang Yuan said coldly: "If you hide from Liaoxi, you are considered the Son of Heaven, so how many Sons of Heaven are there in this world?" In the past, Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang, and Zhang Bao were hundreds of times higher than you, but they still lost, I advise you to turn back as soon as possible, reduce wars, reduce human deaths, and reduce the burden on the people. ”

Li Ran was stunned and said loudly: "I don't need you to preach to me, I know that I am to you, since you are obsessed, then I will send you to your Allah." As he spoke, he swung the nine-section whip and attacked again. Zhang Yuan didn't dare to be careless, and waved his gun to meet him, but he didn't stab the head of the spear, he originally walked in a straight line, but once Bai Li Ran's nine-section whip touched, he immediately lost the strength of the attack. And every time he wants to get close, Li Ran will have a flying stone attack, which is completely annoying, he hits the body and the horse's legs, even if the person can hold it, the horse can't stand it, many soldiers will not fail on his nine-section whip, but as soon as he flies the stone, he will be defeated one after another.

After less than fifty rounds of fighting, Zhang Yuan looked at a flaw in Li Ran, and pulled out a shot, but unfortunately the gun didn't hit, and the back of his hand was hit by Li Ran's stone, which made him almost unable to hold the gun steadily.

"How. Will you submit or will you not submit to me? If I continue to fight, I will not be merciful. Li Ran said. He saw Zhang Yuan's bravery, and heard that he defeated Cheng Yuanxiong's army of 50,000, he was very shocked, and now he is fighting with Zhang Yuan, he also knows that this pressure is very high, if he doesn't know how to fly stones, he is afraid that Zhang Yuan will be taken captive, but he has flying stones in his hands, and he must not be afraid of Zhang Yuan.

Hearing Li Ran's words, Zhang Yuan was even more annoyed in his heart, and said: "It is you who should surrender, but whether you surrender or not, I will kill you." Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yuan continued to rush up with a gun. Li Ran smiled coldly, and said that he was not selfish, and he didn't step forward directly, took out dozens of flying stones from his pockets with both hands, and bounced them at Zhang Yuan. Looking at the flying stones in the sky, Zhang Yuan also secretly screamed in his heart, blocking some with a gun, and still being shot many times on his body, this stone is really powerful, once it is hit, it is a pain that hurts muscles and bones, and there is no strength in his hands. Under Li Ran's attack from the sky, Zhang Yuan's mount would not take the initiative to defend, and the lions all hit his body, which made him jump in pain for a while, and almost overturned Zhang Yuan, and finally under Zhang Yuan's superb horse control skills, the mount was stabilized.

As soon as the mount was mounted, Li Ran swept over with another nine-section whip, Zhang Yuan saw it, and hurriedly blocked it with a gun, and the nine-section whip was firmly wrapped around the gun. Zhang Yuan was secretly happy, and wanted to pull Li Ran over with a whip, but found that although Li Ran didn't seem to have much strength, he was actually infinitely powerful, and when Zhang Yuan and him were deadlocked, Li Ran didn't fall into the slightest.

Just when Zhang Yuan was about to pull the gun back with all his might, Li Ran suddenly put his left hand into his pocket, and before Zhang Yuan could move, four stones had already flew, one of which hit Zhang Yuande's arm, and the other three didn't hit his shoulder and his head and lower abdomen, so painful that he instantly lost consciousness, and the spear in his hand was also pulled by Li Ran.

Li Ran said with a smile: "You don't have weapons now, if I whip down, you will definitely die, submit to me, and ask you once after the last." ”

Zhang Yuan said coldly: "If you submit to you, it's better to die." I won't be in the company of a thief like you who has brought disaster to the country and the people. If you don't kill me, I'll kill you. ”

Li Ran said angrily: "Since this is the case, then I will fulfill you." Suffer death. With that, he swung his whip down. Zhang Yuan saw that he would not wait for death obediently, he lifted the reins of the horse, the horse roared, immediately jumped up with its front hooves, and took a few steps backwards, Li Ran's fatal whip finally dodged. When Li Ran saw it, he sneered, and chased after him with a whip, seeing that he was about to hit Zhang Yuan again, when he suddenly heard a string sound in the distance, and when he raised his eyes, he kept shooting arrows at him. Li Ran hurriedly withdrew the whip and blocked the flying arrow.

"Bold thief, Hugh injured my brother, let me fight you to the death."

The person who shot the arrow was Zhang Yuan's younger brother Zhang Rang, when he saw that Zhang Yuan's spear was entangled by Li Ran's tangled whip and could not be recaptured, he immediately flew out and rushed up, seeing that his brother was about to be hit by the whip, he directly took the arrow and pulled the bow, and shot an arrow. It's just that the sound of the strings was heard by Li Ran, and this arrow did not cause any damage.

"Brother, you go back first, let me take his head." Zhang Yu came to Zhang Yuanma's side.

Zhang Yuan said: "Don't be impulsive, you are not his opponent, it's not too late to think of a way after going back and discussing with General Zu." But before Zhang Yuan finished speaking, Zhang Yu had already rushed out, and scolded this Li Ran for being a thief and wanted to fight him to the death.

Li Ran saw Zhang Pre rushing over, and asked coldly, "Who are you?" What are the capabilities? If you can't do it, go back quickly, I won't kill the pigs and dogs. ”

Zhang Pre pointed at Li Ran with a gun and said, "Master, I am Zhang Pre, Zhang Yuan's younger brother. It is your honor that you can die at my hands today. ”

Li Ran smiled: "Zhang Yu? No name, unheard. Hurry away, I don't want to kill you. But Zhang Yu didn't listen at all, and before Li Ran finished speaking, he had already rushed up. When Li Ran saw it, he sighed secretly in his heart: What an impulsive young man, I will teach you how to behave. Also rushed over.

Li Ran whipped the nine-section whip like a flower, and he was dazzled by it, since he couldn't see it clearly, he simply danced the gun around, flying around, but there was no marksmanship at all, it looked like a three-section stick routine.

Zhang Yuan saw it, and he was also secretly surprised, and sighed: "What kind of messy marksmanship is he, he doesn't dance in any way at all." But Zhang Pre's chaotic dance seemed to work well, forcing Li Ran to retreat again and again, and his left hand wanted to go to the stone on his waist many times, but it didn't work.

Li Ran was also surprised in his heart: "He used a gun, how is it not a gun's fighting routine, what kind of marksmanship is this." He didn't expect that this was Zhang Pre dancing all the way because he couldn't see clearly, it wasn't a marksmanship at all, but according to Li Ran's technique, with the help of his fast hand movements, the gun danced like a ball of flowers, disrupting Li Ran's vision.

After all, Li Ran is not an ordinary person, after receiving one or twenty rounds, he knew that Zhang Yu was actually a random dance, and he smiled secretly in his heart, it turned out that this was an impulsive and reckless young man, but the movements in his hands were very fast, and it was a piece of material for learning soft weapons.

Li Ran saw through Zhang Pre's point, and immediately swept over with a nine-section whip, just around Zhang Pre's gun, and at the same time he drew a gourd in the same way, took out a stone and shot at Zhang Pre, Zhang Pre was in pain, his hand was numb, and the gun was also snatched away. In a panic, a person from behind him came, and he turned his head to see that it was his brother Zhang Yuan.

"Get out of here." Zhang Yuan saw him turn around, slapped his ass, and retreated into the army together, Li Ran originally wanted to pursue, but was attacked by Zu Zhao's army, and finally returned to the city with the spoils of war. Zhang Yuan came back from defeat, very disappointed, and felt that he had insulted the name of *.

Zu Zhao smiled: "That flying stone can't get close at all, if you are also guilty, I should have committed suicide a long time ago to apologize." We'll have to think about how we can overcome his weapon, and most importantly stop him from firing flying stones, but we have nothing but arrows. Grandma's, if I had a gun, I would shoot him directly. ”

Zhang Yuan and the others looked at Zu Zhao puzzled, and said, "General, we use guns, but we still can't fight him." ”

Zu Zhao was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm not talking about your spear, but a firearm, which is now being studied and has not yet succeeded." When I have successfully studied the musket, I will not be afraid of any archers I will encounter. ”

Although everyone didn't know what Lu Dao Zuzhao was talking about, but when he thought about it, it was strange, thinking about what people didn't want, and what people didn't do, and now that he said so, he could only look forward to it, anyway, he couldn't be clear if he asked too much.

Zhao Meng said unconvinced: "Tomorrow I will continue to fight, I don't believe that his nine-section whip is so invincible in the world." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "His nine-section whip can be completely broken, but his flying stone can only be too annoying to guard, tomorrow you go to battle, you must be careful, once your gun is entangled in his nine-section whip, he will launch a flying stone attack, and then you are afraid that you will also lose the spear in your hand, so be careful." ”

Zhao Meng thanked him and said that he would be careful, he really didn't believe that Li Ran could be invincible in the world with one nine-section whip and one stone. In tomorrow's battle, he is bound to teach Li Ran a good lesson, so that he knows that there is still a mountain high.

On the second day, Zhao Meng led the army to fight again, Li Ran still came out to meet the battle, saw Zhao Meng, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Zhao Meng said: "I am Zhao Meng, and I am here to take your head." ”

Li Ran was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Are you the general of the Yellow Turban Army who was defeated and returned to Zuzhao?" I can't imagine that a person like you is still alive, and since you came to die today, I just happened to kill you. ”

Zhao Meng said: "In the past, I followed the Yellow Turban Army to revolt, I originally thought that I was going to do things for the people, saying that I only knew that the Tao of Lu trampled on each other, and I didn't pity the people at all, and the degree of chaos was no less than those eunuchs and eunuchs in the imperial court. ”
