Chapter 57: Official Surrender
Just when He Bai was stunned, Du Lei, the deputy commander of the White Horse Yi Cavalry under He Bai, was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "The general of the defeated army, dare to be arrogant, see me Du Lei come to capture you." "After that, Pegasus danced and went straight down the hill and took Hou Cheng directly.
Hou Cheng shouted: "Good come, look at the knife." ”
said, also slapped the horse and danced the knife to step forward to slash Du Lei, Hou Cheng came first after the big knife, Du Lei was taken aback, and said in his heart: This guy is so fast. In desperation, he had to change his stab to defense, and narrowly blocked the big knife with the spear in his hand. However, Hou Cheng's big knife changed to cutting, and cut Du Lei's finger holding the gun. Durey had no choice but to let go and flip his back, and once again narrowly snatched a knife.
After the two horses staggered, Du Lei was already forced into a cold sweat by Hou Cheng's two knives. Since he was born in the elite of the Youzhou border army, and was selected as a white horse servant, whether it is ability or force, he is not bad in the army. The ten people who were idle couldn't get close to their own bodies, and they were appointed by the lord as the deputy commander of the White Horse Yicong. I don't want this random thief in Taiyuan County, and I almost can't stop one of them. This...... This...... What's going on?
Du Lei turned his horse's head, holding his gun in both hands and concentrating on the battle, only to see Hou Cheng shaking his head and saying: "You are not my opponent, let's change to Lord Duwei." ”
Du Lei shouted angrily: "You are a thief, it is enough for me to capture you, why do you need the lord to take action personally." With that, he slapped his horse again and rushed forward.
Hou Cheng's heart was full of anger, but it was extinguished, since he decided to surrender today, he could not kill the generals under He Duwei, so he had to wait in place. Just when the galloping Du Lei's spear and body, Du Lei's face showed joy, Hou Cheng suddenly shouted, and the big knife slammed the tip of the spear.
Durrey's spear suddenly slammed into the ground, and his figure involuntarily planted forward. Du Lei was shocked, the secret way was not good, and sure enough, Hou Cheng hit the back of the knife with a backhand, and suddenly slapped Du Lei off the horse.
Du Lei's heart was suddenly ashes, he thought that his martial arts were not bad, and he was also ranked number one in the army, but he was so vulnerable, and he was still cheeky to occupy the deputy commander of the white horse righteous people, can his own martial arts protect the lord? That's it, that's it, when I go back, I will ask my lord to resign, step down from this position of commander, and be an ordinary righteous servant.
Hou Cheng smiled arrogantly: "Lord Duwei, could it be that your command is like this...... It's no wonder that Lord Du Wei came to summon me twice or three times. ”
He Bai shook his head and smiled: "Leader Hou's martial arts are only average in the eyes of the general, and there are not many talents like Leader Hou under the command of the general, but it is still possible to find three or five people." It's just that they couldn't come for some reason, but they disappointed the Hou leader. Anyway, this general hasn't used force in person for a long time, so he will accompany Leader Hou for a few rounds today. ”
After speaking, he slapped the war horse, double-whipped and scored, and rushed towards the hill. Hou Cheng, who was arrogant under the post, looked at He Bai and saw that although He Bai was laid off quickly, his momentum was very calm. The double whip only moved slightly on the horse's head left and right, and was not raised high, which shows that He Bai is very confident in his own martial arts. Only controlled the horse with his legs, and went all the way down as if he were walking on the ground, which shows that He Bai's riding skills are quite high. Be a brave general.
Hou Cheng didn't dare to be careless, urged him to step forward, and the sword slashed at the top of He Bai's head. He Bai was not in a hurry, and seemed to slowly whip up with his right hand, hitting the tip of Hou Cheng's big knife just right. Hou Cheng was shocked, only to feel a sharp tremor on the blade, and the tremor almost made him throw away the knife in his hand.
"Okay." Hou Cheng shouted, clenched the knife with both hands, and when the two horses intersected, he slashed with both hands, along He Bai's back thigh, straight to He Bai's back. This move can be described as insidious, which made Du Lei, who was watching the battle on one side, frightened for a while, and couldn't help shouting angrily: "The thief is so daring." ”
However, He Bai seemed to have eyes behind him, and the right whip that had just been checked was once again waved his sleeves to break the water. With the sound of "dang", the iron whip hit the tip of Hou Cheng's knife again, making the big knife slow down, and when Hou Cheng came back to his senses, the second horse was already far away.
Hou Cheng couldn't help but be slightly angry in his heart, looking at He Bai's two blocks of the iron whip, casually, although it was just right, it made people feel that he obviously didn't take himself to heart. Hou Cheng has been a thief since he was eighteen years old, reaching Hanoi County in the south, Xianbei in the north, Taihang in the east, and Xihe in the west. But no one has ever dared to despise himself like this, which is really intolerable.
Hou Cheng turned the horse's head, charged bravely, shouted and shouted in his mouth, and the long knife turned up and down like a butterfly flying flower, and a knife was as fast as a knife. But seeing He Bai's brows frowning slightly, he finally got serious, and the iron whip opened the bow left and right, and he could make a reversal at any time. The two "jingle bells" fought a few moves with fast fighting, and then the two horses intersected.
Hou Cheng's expression couldn't help but become a little solemn, He Bai's whip is short, his own knife is long, and the old saying goes: one inch is long and one inch is strong. Originally, he wanted to play martial arts and swordsmanship more easily than He Bai, but he didn't want to fight with He Bai. Seeing that He Bai is still at ease, I am afraid that his strength has not yet been fully displayed, this He Bai is really a warrior.
However, He Bai secretly thought: This Hou Cheng's martial arts are not bad, and the difference between his sword skills and Cheng Qi seems to be, although he can defeat him, he must be more than fifty rounds. But it didn't frighten him. It seems that it will take a trick to defeat him.
Hou Cheng shouted, the big knife was raised high, the strength was fierce and strong, the momentum was majestic, and there was a thunderous momentum. But it was Hou Cheng who fought fast but He Bai, and wanted to compete with He Bai with strength.
I didn't want He Bai's double whip to lose the strength of Fang Cai, holding the whip handle in his left hand, and lightly slashed through an arc, Hou Cheng didn't know what was going on, and he didn't care about swinging the knife and slashing. The knives and whips intersected, but he didn't hear the sound of Jin Ming, Hou Cheng only felt that a suction force suddenly appeared on the whip, and it swirled slightly on the tip of the knife. The long-handled broadsword weighing forty pounds in his hand was unexpectedly tilted to the side, revealing a huge gap in his chest.
"Not good." Hou Cheng exclaimed, and before he let go of the big knife, he had already raised his right hand to protect his chest, and He Bai had already raised his right hand whip, only lightly on Hou Cheng's chest. Hou Cheng was suddenly struck by lightning, and a bloody breath in his chest rushed straight to his nose, and his whole body was weak for a while, and he turned over and fell under the horse.
"Okay, the lord is mighty......" The soldiers who watched the battle with bated breath on the hill immediately cheered loudly. As a warrior in the army, who doesn't like brave warriors as the main general. Since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the men of the Han army did not like to fight and rush violently, and they used the method of being outnumbered. Huo Bi's 800 horsemen and Ban Dingyuan's 36 horsemen all made the Han boys' blood boil.
However, He Bai's army often used guerrilla warfare and retreating to kill the enemy, which really made people feel a little aggrieved. Although He Bai often said that this was a good way to avoid the real and attack the false, to wear down the enemy with guerrilla attacks, and to reduce the losses of the army, it was still difficult for the soldiers to accept the order happily and be completely relieved. To this day, I see He Bai being fearless in the face of the challenge of the brave and fierce thief.
After the defeat of Bai Ma Yicong's deputy commander Du Lei, he did not overlie the crowd, but rode forward bravely and fought alone with the thief. In just a few counts, the thief was knocked off his horse. It seems that He Bai is really not a cowardly general, but also a brave and fierce general. The tactics used are really a good way to avoid the real and attack the false, to wear down the enemy with guerrilla attacks, and to reduce the losses of the army.
can have such a general who does not remember his personal name and cares about the lives of the soldiers, how can the soldiers not be moved by He Bai. Without He Bai knowing anything, the centripetal force of the army has been improved to a certain extent.
As soon as Hou Cheng landed, he immediately turned over and got up, looking at He Bai with complicated eyes. If He Bai had replaced the iron whip with a long sword or spear just now, or changed the stab to a blow, he was afraid that he would have to take his own life at that moment.
It's just the defeat of Fang Cai, which still makes Hou Cheng a little unclear. However, defeat is defeat, but Hou Cheng is not easy to deny. had to simply kneel on the ground and worship, and the last general, Hou Cheng, met Lord Duwei.
The corners of He Bai's mouth twitched, Lord Duwei? Not the lord? It seems that this Hou Cheng still can't really return to his heart? Isn't that unattractive as this? Or is there still a sexual difference between this person, and it is difficult to be loyal to him if it is not that person?
He Bai didn't like it in his heart, but he jumped off the horse with a smile on his face, helped Hou Cheng up, and said: "I look forward to your return, and I don't want to see it, but fortunately, I finally surrendered today." My heart is very relieved, and I should take a big white also. ”
When Hou Cheng heard this, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to be a little moved, and asked: "Lord Duwei, in last night's battle, Lord Duwei's tactics were wonderful, and the general had to disperse his subordinates and flee in all directions. But I don't know how many people were killed last night and how many people were captured by Lord Duwei? The last general was worried about the affairs of his subordinates for a long time, and he hoped that the Captain would inform him. ”
He Bai's heart is getting colder and colder, Nima, you have already surrendered, isn't it Lao Tzu who is under this book, this is still trying to set up a small hill under my command. Although He Bai is unhappy, this is the rule in this era, and his subordinates are not necessarily the subordinates of the lord. If you want all your subordinates to be loyal to the lord alone, even in the next generation, it is impossible. That's all there is to it.
He Bai smiled slightly and said: "I killed one hundred and twenty-eight people last night, and the fifty-one people captured, but these fifty-one people, most of them were seriously injured by arrows, and there were very few people who were slightly injured. ”
Hou Cheng showed a look of heartache on his face, but he still thanked him: "If you are a thief for a day, you will have the heart to die at any time, but you don't want to lose eighty percent overnight." The last general thanked the Captain for giving them a good ......," and then shouted to the horse thieves in the rear, "Sons, the brothers have passed away, and we can pay tribute to them here and send them off all the way." ”
The horse thieves immediately dismounted, their faces sad, or whining, or howling, while Hou Cheng knelt on the ground, muttering something in his mouth. He Bai was stunned for a while, and only came back to his senses after a while, it turned out that Hou Cheng thought that those injured horse thieves had been killed by himself.
But he didn't know that he was from the afterlife, and even if he was a death row prisoner, he had to be saved. The military doctor in the army is going to treat them. But that's fine, when the fifty-one lively horse thieves reappear in front of Hou Cheng half a month later, Hou Cheng will be infinitely happy, and his loyalty will soar.
