Chapter 206: Veteran Duel
When Rong Kui heard this, his face turned blue and white, he blew his beard and glared, and shouted angrily: "What kind of person is sneaky, dare to insult the imperial court officials, come out, this official will definitely punish you severely!" ”
He usually pays attention to maintenance, and has always regarded himself as suave, but in recent years, as he grows older, he has gradually shown signs of fortune, and it has become a piece of his heart, so he hates others to call him fat.
A few suppressed sneers rang out in the shadows, followed by a low, cold voice. "Don't talk nonsense, follow the original plan and go your separate ways."
"Yes, Commander!" A group of people responded in unison. It may sound like a lot of people.
There was a slight rustling sound, almost inaudible. Based on Cao Xun's experience, he knew that this was a signal for the team to spread out in all directions. It was clear that this was a well-trained team, and they must have been premeditated to ambush here.
He glared at Rong Kui fiercely, and he really wanted to kill him. But it's too late to say anything, so let's find a way to deal with this stealthy team first.
Cao Xun didn't know the details of this team, it looked a bit like the secret guard of Xuanwang's Mansion or something, but he wasn't sure, and he didn't know how many people and horses were ambushed in this Shangyong City. For now, they can only gather their own soldiers and horses and wait for the battle.
This time he attacked Shangyong City, and he brought 30,000 horses. And the garrison of Shangyong City is only 30,000 people at most, and the main general Yu Jing is far away in Mocheng, and the dragons of Shangyong City are leaderless, he believes that even if they fight, their side may not suffer.
"Everyone line up, take up arms, and get ready for battle!" Cao Xun ordered loudly.
However, before they could adjust their formation, a short sleeve arrow had already broken through the air, with an astonishing momentum, and went straight around Rong Kui's ear and shot at the battle flag pole behind him.
With a "bang", the flagpole fell in response.
"Ahh General Cao, help! Rong Kui only felt a chill in his left ear, and he hugged his head in fright, screaming in horror. The mount under his crotch was exclaimed by him, its front hooves raised high, and its head raised to let out a long, mournful roar.
Rong Kui was holding his head in his hands, but did not grasp the reins, and as soon as the front hooves of the mount moved, he did not sit still, and the whole person fell off the horse.
"Your Excellency!" The attendants around him hurriedly surrounded him.
This change made the Dasheng soldiers, who were already in some turmoil, even more alarmed. All of a sudden, the horses' hooves were flurry, screaming again and again, and the soldiers fled in all directions like headless flies, no matter how loudly Cao Xun and Guo Wei gave orders, the formation could no longer be ranked.
Cao Xun's black face was already so angry that it couldn't be darker. These soldiers also said that they were the elite of Dasheng Dynasty guarding Zhengyang Pass, and even the soldiers he brought out in Jinyang Pass at that time were not as good, and they were simply vulnerable. There is also Rong Kui, a damn wine bag and rice bag, who gives him fucking bullshit, and if something happens, he will only hide behind the guards and be scared of his legs and feet, this time he was really miserable.
While Cao Xun was trying his best to stabilize the team, the group of people hidden in the shadows gradually appeared.
They stood on a courtyard wall not far from Dasheng's army, and in the middle was a man in black, tall and straight, flanked by more than a dozen people in gray shirts. But one thing is certain, and that is that each of them has a dark dye on his face, and it is difficult to discern his face for what it really is, except for a pair of piercing eyes, which shine in the night, like wolves lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity.
"Who the hell are you?" Cao Xun clenched the steel knife in his hand tightly and asked sharply.
The black-clothed man at the head was holding a delicate crossbow in his hand, and it was obvious that the sleeve arrow was shot by him just now. He looked at Cao Xun condescendingly, and just coldly popped out two words: "Action." ”
As his words fell, more than a dozen gray-clothed people next to him jumped up at the same time and swept in the direction where Cao Xun and Rong Kui were. They seemed to have their own goals already in mind, and in groups of several people, they took the lead in attacking Cao Xun, Rong Kui and Guo Wei.
"Come on, come and protect this official!" Seeing this, Rong Kui was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed the guards who were guarding him to resist the attack of the gray-clothed man.
One of the gray-clothed men flew with a long sword in his hand, and the attack was fierce, and he quickly repelled the attacks of several guards on him, and when he saw Rong Kui's frightened appearance, he sneered disdainfully, and smiled at a slightly thin gray-clothed man next to him and said: "Hey, be careful, I just heard this fat man brag about blowing to the sky, I thought he was so capable, but it turned out to be a gutless rat, cut!" ”
As soon as Rong Kui heard his voice, he knew that this person was the hateful guy who had just laughed at him for being a fat man.
"Second Master Mo, don't talk about these things that are gone, let's do it quickly." A slightly thin gray-clothed man next to him said coldly, the two wolf tooth knives in his hands glowed with a cold light, attacking the soldiers upwards, cutting the horse's legs down, and approaching Rong Kui step by step.
"You...... You...... Don't come here, my father is the prime minister, which of you dares to touch me! Rong Kui hid behind several guards, shouting in his mouth, but his steps retreated back again and again.
"Yo, be careful, you've been good lately!" Seeing this, the gray-clothed man with the long sword in his hand took out his sword to solve several Dasheng Chao soldiers who were fighting with him, and laughed and showed a mouthful of white teeth.
The gray-clothed man, who was a little thinner, glared at him, gritted his teeth, and said, "I said, don't tell me to be careful again!" ”
On the other side, the rest of the gray-clothed men also began to attack Cao Xun and Guo Wei. Cao Xun is a heavy steel knife, Guo Wei is a spear, both of them are perennial Jin Ge iron horses, and they have practiced skills when killing enemies on the battlefield, each attack is a board and a glance, full of brute strength, but there are no tricks. The attack of the gray man is completely different, they are flexible, their bodies are light, they cooperate tacitly, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, one person is weak, and the other few people will immediately make up for it, just like endless weeds, even if Cao Xun and Guo Wei have the courage to stop, they are helpless.
When the rest of the Dasheng soldiers saw that the Lord would be surrounded, they raised their weapons one after another, wanting to rush forward to help. But before they could make a move, long arrows from all directions were already shooting towards them like rain, and the soldiers were caught off guard, one by one, they were in a hurry, they couldn't take care of themselves, and they couldn't take care of helping Cao Xun and Guo Wei.
Cao Xun didn't forget to look at the surrounding environment between fights, and under this look, he only felt that his heart was getting heavier and heavier. The dark shadows on the high walls of the roofs on all sides were all men and horses in ambush, but it was not clear how many people there were. These gray-clothed people in front of him are already so difficult to deal with, if there are a few more batches, he is really not sure that he will be able to get out of the way.
I don't know where these people came from, he originally thought they were the secret guards of King Xuan's Mansion, but now they don't look like them. He had never heard of such a team in the Xuan Wangfu and the Meng Family Army before.
Suddenly, the mount under his crotch let out a terrible hiss, and then fell to the ground. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and jumped off the horse before it fell to the ground.
"General, how are you?" Guo Wei caught a glimpse of Cao Xun falling off his horse, his heart was shocked, and his move was a little unstable, several gray-clothed men took advantage of the situation and attacked him again and again, and it didn't take long for Guo Wei to gradually show his decline.
And Cao Xun still did not give up after falling off the horse, and fought hard. He was already a fierce general, and the rise of the fight became more and more frustrating, and the steel knife in his hand was unstoppable, and the gray-clothed men who besieged him were in a stalemate with him for a while. Seeing this, the man in black standing on the courtyard wall stood on tiptoe, and his whole body rose into the air like a goshawk, and also joined them in the battle.
It was night, and there was a bloody battle in Shangyong City. At this time, thirty miles outside Shangyong City, Chu Pingchuan, who was hurrying on the road, was also blocked by a team of black-pressed men and horses in front.
All black armor, black horses, and black flags. In the center of the flag, a white auspicious cloud waved in the wind.
"Flying Cloud Ride!" Chen Yin whispered.
Feiyun Riding is the sharpest sword in the Meng family's army, and it is invincible. Chu Pingchuan raised his eyes and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Feiyun Ride, it was indeed a fine ride.
The middle-aged man at the head has a square face, a dignified appearance, a resolute expression, and a majestic momentum, and it is the Feiyun Rider who leads Wen Renyuan.
"It's weird." Chen Yinzhi said to Chu Pingchuan on the side: "According to the news reported by the spies, Wen Renyuan was still attending a banquet in Mocheng last night, why did he arrive in this Shangyong City in less than a day?" ”
Chu Pingchuan's thick eyebrows were tightly locked, and he was also puzzled. At this moment, Wen Renyuan had already ridden his horse and slowly stepped out of the ranks, stepped forward more than ten steps, and said to Chu Pingchuan: "Old General Chu, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed?" ”
