Chapter 12: The Last Stand
The voice of the little white snake sounded in his head: "Because I was moved by your desperate behavior for revenge, Tan Sitong's loyalty has increased by 10 points, and it has now reached 90." ”
Wu Zhao was moved in his heart, and helped Tan Sitong to the formation and bandaged it. Tan Sitong rested for a moment and said strongly: "Brother, I'm much better." Let's put the trumpet cannon! ”
Wu Zhao nodded, took out the cannon from his arms, lit it with a fire fold and threw it into the sky. There was a boom in the cannon shot, and a bright cloud lit up in the night sky.
Soon after, three fireworks burst into the night sky one after another. In the last place, three cannons were fired in a row, and three trumpets were fired.
Wu Zhao was overjoyed: "Sitong, you are right this time!" They're still there! Commander, you come and command the troops, and we'll lean in the direction of the three-horn cannon! ”
Tan Sitong stood up and pointed at the Yi Shui Han Sword in his palm: "Everyone follow behind me and break through with all your might!" ”
Wu Zhao leaned over and took out a cloth bag from a soldier and opened it, reached out and grabbed a handful of gold bars and threw it at the soldiers of Dong Minjun on the opposite side. At the same time, he also designated three armor soldiers: "You three stay in the middle with me and smash the enemy's head with gold nuggets!" ”
The team sprang into action. Although Tan Sitong was injured, he relied on the lightness and sharpness of Yi Shuihan's sword, and he was also invincible. Wu Zhao led everyone to rain gold nuggets on Dong Minjun's head. The gold bars and gold bricks that Dong Zhuo scavenged were almost all dozens of taels heavy, and it was certainly full of weight when they were smashed on the head, but falling on the ground greatly disturbed Dong Minjun's morale. Wu Zhao took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and shouted: "Brothers on the other side! One gold bar is enough for you to have food and clothing for half your life! Hurry up and take a few pieces home to live a happy life, what are you fighting for? ”
The soldiers on the opposite side did not belong to the Dong family, and soon fell into chaos and began to fight with each other. For the sake of insurance, Wu Zhao threw half a bag of gold bars around, and then ordered the troops to leave quickly. By the time Dong Min led the troops out of the front door, Wu Zhao and the others had already disappeared.
Tan Sitong was injured in the waist, and he was barely able to move when he was fighting, but he couldn't get up in a hurry. Wu Zhao found two armor soldiers to lift him up, and rushed to the place where the three horn cannons were fired with all his might. Fortunately, it was in the city, and the soldiers were strong in the second level, and they finally rushed to the scene before Dong Min.
It was Ximen Qing who fired three trumpets in a row. He and the Great Sword King Wu led fifty armor soldiers, and guarded more than a dozen gorgeous carriages. Zhang Shijie was also there, wielding an iron rod to fight side by side with Ximenqing, fighting with hundreds of Dong Minjun soldiers.
A black-faced man with long hair commanded the soldiers, and Wu Zhao took out a large gold brick and slammed it into his face. The man was furious, and suddenly found that the "hidden weapon" that fell on the ground was a large gold brick, and hurriedly bent down to pick it up. "Poof" spit out the two front teeth in his mouth, and laughed: "Bunny!" I don't know how to be elegant when I send money to my uncle! ”
Wu Zhao said loudly: "Dong Jun's brothers, the catastrophe of Yi Wu is just around the corner!" There are gold and silver treasures in the treasure house, silk and satin, what are you doing here desperately? Robbed gold and silver, went home to eat meat, drink wine, and play with women! ”
Seeing this, the three armor soldiers beside Wu Zhao also threw large pieces of gold bricks and gold bars. Wu Zhao is still agitating: "The treasure house is full of gold, silver and jewelry! What else to fight? Hurry up! ”
Taking advantage of the hesitation of these Dong Minjun soldiers, Wu Zhao led the team to quickly meet Zhang Shijie, Ximenqing, and Wang Wu. Wu Zhao didn't talk nonsense, and asked Ximen Qing directly: "Brother Ximen, Fifth Brother Wang, did you receive it?" “
Ximenqing looked proud: "Fooling a little girl, isn't it still a catch?" In the carriage too! ”
Wu Zhao smiled approvingly: "Not bad, the second great achievement!" When you get out of danger, you will be rewarded for your merits! ”
He winked narrowly: "What about your own business?" ”
Ximen Qing smiled evilly: "There are more than a dozen women in each of the dozen carriages!" Brother, will you reward me? ”
Wu Zhao was a little embarrassed for a while, and was about to think of a way to cover up the past first, when suddenly a roar interrupted his thoughts: "You bastards! Where are you going? Want to be beheaded? ”
It was Dong Min who arrived, leading three or four hundred people to block back the unlucky bastards who were instigated by Wu Zhao to rob the treasure house. Wu Zhao was not afraid of big things when he saw the excitement: "Dong Jun's brothers, Yi Wu's treasure house is piled up with most of the gold and silver treasures of the Han Dynasty, as well as all kinds of rare treasures that you can't think of. Grab his ticket hard, and enjoy endless glory, wealth, beauty and beauty are waiting for you! Afraid of what? Fight this time to be rich for a lifetime! ”
Dong Min was not a good match, and immediately drew his sword and killed several soldiers who were incited: "After tonight, all the non-commissioned officers of Dong Jun present will be promoted to three levels and rewarded with one hundred taels of gold!" But those who do not obey the military order will be immediately beheaded! ”
Dong Min has been with Dong Zhuo for a long time and has a high prestige. Coupled with this heavy reward, it quickly stabilized the morale of the army. Wu Zhao immediately made a decision and ordered Zhang Shijie: "Zhang Shijie, you are the best at commanding infantry here, and all the brothers here are under your command!" Kill Dong Min for me! ”
The bloody battle unfolded in an instant. Dong Min's army is overwhelming, and Dong Min is also quite talented as a general, but Wu Zhaofang is an elite second-class soldier, and he resisted Dong Min's army under the leadership of Zhang Shijie, and the two sides fought an equal situation for a while. Wu Zhao repeated his old tricks, and smashed them with large gold bricks, but it didn't work anymore. Wu Zhao was anxious to see his own soldiers fall one by one, and ordered again: "Zhang Shijie, you lead a few brothers to entangle the black-faced general; Ximenqing, you kill Dong Min for me and take off his head! ”
The second general took the order and left, and the situation in the field changed slightly. Dong Min smiled disdainfully, and said to a herald beside him: "Blow the horn and call for reinforcements!" Pei Xuan, you go and stop the enemy general! ”
Pei Xuan promised and did not hesitate to carry the iron ruler to meet Ximenqing. Wu Zhao knew that he was not Ximenqing's opponent, and shouted loudly: "Ximenqing, this Pei Xuan brother is a good man, don't ruin his life!" Bypass him and kill Dong Min! ”
At this time, the herald beside Dong Min blew the horn, and the desolate voice came from afar. Wu Zhao rolled up his sleeves and walked out, holding a sword in the hand of a dead armor soldier, ready to go down in person. Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves was urgent, and hundreds of knights galloped forward, and the sound of horses' hooves beat on the bluestone slabs like war drums. Ximenqing was nervous and withdrew again.
The cavalry came so fast that in a matter of moments it was already approaching. Wu Zhao saw the face of the leading knight clearly, and was overjoyed: "It's Mao Wenlong and Zhang Bao!" Our reinforcements have arrived! Full Counterattack! ”
Ximenqing retreated to Wu Zhao's side: "It's not right, there's hooves in the distance!" “
Dong Min commanded the infantry of the Dong army to get aside, and Mao Wenlong and Zhang Bao led the cavalry to rush like the wind, and circled Wu Zhao and others before reining in the horse. Mao Wenlong turned over and dismounted and walked towards Wu Zhao: "Brother Wu, we have been tricked!" Zhang Bao and I had just joined up when we were pursued by enemy cavalry! We have about a thousand Xiliang cavalry behind us, what to do? ”
Dong Min laughed: "Just tie your hands and catch it!" Wu Zhao, if you betray me once, I can still spare your life again. You give me these brothers of yours, and I will make you a comfortable rich man, what do you think? ”
Wu Zhao has a deep understanding of the Dong family's tiger and wolf nature, and knows that if he surrenders, he will definitely die. It is better to die standing than to die on your knees; Rather than being at the mercy of others, it is better to fight against the water!
