Chapter 233: Soldiers Coming to Haozhou
Looking at Ma Xiuying's blushing cheeks, her angry eyes seemed to be about to erupt into flames, and as soon as she said a few words, she was breathing tight again and couldn't breathe. The top point is small, wโww.23wยขx.coโm
"Miss, Miss, just now, it was just a misunderstanding. "Zhu Chongba was a cattle herder from childhood to adulthood, then a monk, and then a soldier under Guo Zixing, and he never even had the opportunity to talk to a woman a few times in his life.
Ma Xiuying was willing to listen, struggling to stand up, but she didn't stand firmly, and almost fell to the ground again. Seeing this, Zhu Chongba hurriedly reached out to help. Ma Xiuying turned to one side, dodged him, turned around and said fiercely: "Zhu Chongba, take away your dirty hands!"
Zhu Chongba's face turned red, and the hand that had just been stretched out retracted. I saw Ma Xiuying staggering to her feet, walking behind her step by step, as if she was going to leave Zhu Chongba.
"Miss, your current condition still needs to recuperate. Zhu Chongba didn't dare to step forward again, but just shouted from a distance behind.
Ma Xiuying staggered and still walked forward step by step, she was seriously ill and unhealed, and she was in a hurry, where could she withstand such a toss. Zhu Chongba was anxious, but he didn't dare to go up to stop him, so he could only watch her back from behind and be anxious.
Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps reached his ears, and then a rough voice said, "Brother, how are your injuries?
Another panting person said: "His grandmother is a bear, I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, I just walked a few miles, and I almost didn't fall to my death in this cliff, if it wasn't for the eldest brother you saved me, I would have fed the fish and shrimp by now." โ
"Don't complain, we're a horse explorer, and we're doing this errand, don't talk about this, no matter how thrilling things are, we haven't met them. The rough voice continued: "Now that our war horse has fallen into the deep stream, the two of us have to find a way to hurry to Haozhou City, delay the military plane, and get rid of the marshal's military law like a mountain, and then we will really die." โ
Hearing this, Zhu Chongba was shocked, "Haozhou City, take off!" He couldn't care about anything else, he rushed up with an arrow and hugged Ma Xiuying, Ma Xiuying never expected that Zhu Chongba dared to be so bold, his mouth was open, and he was about to shout, but he was covered by a big hand, and he couldn't make a sound at all.
Ma Xiuying was weak, she couldn't move when she struggled, she was held by Zhu Chongba and hid in a bush next to her. Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Chongba in horror, Zhu Chongba stretched out his hand and made a gesture to speak, and pointed to the outside of the bushes, Ma Xiuying looked in the direction of Zhu Chongba's finger.
I saw two people coming from afar, the one walking in front was tall, and the person behind him was limping, as if he was injured.
The voice from outside came in again, and the big man who walked in front said: "Okay, this is like a stream, brother, let's go and drink a few sips of water first, recuperate our spirits, and rush to Haozhou in one go." โ
"Brother, my leg wasn't much just now, but now it's getting more and more painful, I'll rest here for a while, and I'll bother my brother to get me some water." The man in the back sat down on the ground as he spoke.
"You kid is really useless, such a little injury, it won't work. If that's the case, sooner or later, you'll lose your head. The big man grumbled as he strode toward the brook behind the trees.
The injured little man sat on the ground, muttering something unknowingly as he looked down at the injury on his leg.
Seeing this, Zhu Chongba's heart moved, knowing that the opportunity could not be lost, so he gently patted Ma Xiuying's arm with his hand, signaling her not to move, and he quietly raised his waist knife and walked out from behind the bushes.
Walking about a hundred steps away, on the edge of the stream, the big man of the Yuan soldier was bowing his head and washing his face with water with both hands, Zhu Chongba tiptoed over, picked up the waist knife, and stabbed the back of the Yuan soldier's heart, poor that Yuan soldier's heart was cold, and he didn't snort, and died in the river.
Zhu Chongba kicked his corpse aside and wiped the blood from the knife on his clothes. He carried the knife upside down and walked back gently.
When the injured soldier heard the sound of footsteps, he didn't look up, and said loudly: "It's so slow to carry water, hurry up and bring it, we drank the water, so we can hurry." โ
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill in the back of his neck, and hurriedly looked up, only to see a Han man with an angry face and an extremely dirty body holding a waist knife on his neck.
"Who are you? Dare to use a knife against the military master, do you want to die?" Yuan Bing shouted and scolded. At that time, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the status of the Han people was extremely low, not much higher than livestock, so although the Yuan soldiers had a knife on their necks, their tone was still very hard.
Zhu Chongba snorted, his hand strained slightly, and the blade suddenly entered the flesh for a few minutes, and blood seeped out along the blade.
"You, what are you going to do?" Although Yuan Bing was still strong, his mouth was obviously a little softer.
Zhu Chongba said in a deep voice: "Yuan thief, your companion has died under my knife, if you want to live, tell me what you know as soon as possible, otherwise, Lao Tzu will even kill you." โ
"What, you killed my eldest brother. The soldier panicked, "You, who the hell are you, what are you going to do?"
"To tell you the truth, Lao Tzu is the rebel army of Haozhou City, not to mention killing your eldest brother, the Yuan thief who is several times more powerful than you, Lao Tzu has killed countless people. Zhu Chongba said sharply.
"You, you are Guo Zixing's troops. What do you want to ask?" The Yuan soldier's face was as white as paper all of a sudden, the righteous army was never soft on the Yuan soldiers, although the Yuan soldiers were not afraid of the Han people, but they were still afraid of the righteous army.
"Listen, I'll just say these questions once, and if you dare to lie, I'll kill you on the spot. Zhu Chongba said in a deep voice: "What kind of place is this? Whose troops are you?"
The Yuan soldier was stunned, he didn't expect to ask this question, he hurriedly said: "This is two hundred miles southwest of Haozhou City, this place is called the Ghost Sorrow Stream, and we are the subordinates of the commander of Tokto." โ
"I have actually walked so far in the past few days, and I am more than 200 miles away from Haozhou City. Zhu Chongba was secretly frightened in his heart, and asked loudly: "Nonsense! The army of Toktoku has just come from Xuzhou, and it should be north of Haozhou City, how can you dare to lie to me in the south of Haozhou City!"
"You don't know anything about this good man. It is true that the army of the commander of Tokhtar came from the north, but in the past few days, we have been ordered to march urgently overnight, and we have marched 500 miles in three days, and then we arrived at this ghost stream, I don't know what's going on, what I'm saying is the truth. โ
At that time, Tokhtar used soldiers like gods, whether it was to pacify Goryeo, Tubo, or to deal with the Han people, they were all victorious in a hundred battles, and the use of soldiers did not follow common sense at all, so when this Yuan soldier said this, Zhu Chongba felt that the credibility was extremely high, and it was indeed in line with the legendary rules and regulations of Tokto.
"Where are you two going now, what are you going to do?" Zhu Chongba groaned for a moment and asked sharply.
"We were ordered to go to Haozhou City to find out the situation of Guo Zixing's army. The soldier whispered.
"Nothing else, how many probe horses do you have?" Zhu Chong asked in a deep voice with a tight hand.
The Yuan soldier had a pain in his neck, knowing that these rebels were killing people without blinking, and hurriedly said loudly: "We sent a lot of scouts, and I don't know how many, I was just ordered to find out the situation, and I really don't know about it in the future." โ
Zhu Chongba knew that he was just a small probe horse, so he didn't ask any more questions, and asked again: "How many military horses are there in Toto, and how are they arranged in Haozhou City?"
"There are more than 700,000 military horses in total, and I know that there are more than 200,000 in the southwest of Haozhou City, and I don't know the rest. The soldier said urgently.
"Who's the leader on your side?"
"It's the younger brother of the commander of Tokhtar, and the first general Timur. Yuan Bing's blade was added, and he spoke a little faster, hoping to save a life.
"Timur first?" Zhu Chongba pondered again, he seemed to have faintly heard of this name, and said: "Your army of more than 200,000 is lying in ambush in this ghostly stream?"
"Yes, just wait for the order of the commander to get rid of the ghost, and take Haozhou City. As soon as the Yuan soldier said the four words of the marshal, he suddenly became emboldened, and his voice doubled as loud.
"It's a pity you can't see it!" Zhu Chongba said coldly, with a slight effort in his hand, a horizontal knife at his waist, and a spin from back to front, the Yuan soldier was cut his throat, and he was out of breath on the spot.
Ma Xiuying in the bushes behind her was separated by the bushes, all of this was clearly seen, Zhu Chongba sneaked up on the first Yuan soldier, and forced the second Yuan soldier to confess, and after the confession was finished, he killed the second Yuan soldier without hesitation, and all this was less than half a pillar of incense. Ma Xiuying didn't expect that Zhu Chongba, who seemed to be humble and honest on weekdays, turned out to be so murderous without blinking, and remembered the scene he had with him this morning, and couldn't help but be angry and shocked.
Zhu Chongba killed the two of them, and each untied a burden from behind the two Yuan soldiers, one of which was filled with documents, but after Zhu Chongba opened it, he used Mongolian script, and he couldn't understand it at all. The other bag was filled with dry food such as baked cakes and beef, after being hungry for so many days, Zhu Chongba's face was green when he was hungry, and when he saw a large pile of dry food, he cheered, and hurriedly took the burden together, and went to the bushes to invite Ma Xiuying out, and the two of them hurriedly had a good meal first.
Ma Xiuying was also hungry, although she was very angry in her heart, but she couldn't care about anything else for a while, as soon as she came out of the bushes, she grabbed beef jerky and baked cakes, and chewed them.
