Chapter 180: The Blade of Madness (Three Watches)

In Jing Wu, when it comes to Gao Changgong, I am afraid that everyone will hold their heads high, lift a sense of pride in their chests, and say loudly: "The name of the Great General God of War is well deserved, of course, he is the most powerful person in the world!"

But if you put Gao Changgong's strength aside for the time being, and mention Zhu Ran, one of the generals who followed Gao Changgong to sweep through the Tang Kingdom, many people will suddenly be a little confused.

After all, Gao Changgong's light was so bright that everyone couldn't help but ignore the existence around him that burned firmly despite being like a candle.

How strong is Zhu Ran? Almost no one knows.

But Qin Ke still remembered that in the course of the military formation of the Taixue Hall, Huang Hansheng lightly took out the scene of a battle when the eight thousand Qingzhou ghosts rode into the Tang Kingdom.

In that battle, Gao Changgong divided the 8,000 Qingzhou ghost cavalry into two teams, of which the main force was 6,000 people, and he led them to rush straight to the enemy's camp, while Zhu Ran led two teams of 1,000 people to pass through from the flanks and block the enemy's 10,000 reinforcements from Gongwei Yongcheng set up more than ten miles away.

Although most of the local defenders lack training and their armaments are not as good as the elite of the Tang State, two thousand against ten thousand is undoubtedly a tough battle, even if the Qingzhou ghost cavalry is an elite enough to be proud of the others, it is also not easy.

With the consistent tactics of the Qingzhou ghost cavalry, they are the fastest speed to raid the weak points of the enemy's army, suppress the enemy's morale, burn grain and grass, and before the people can regroup and encircle, the Qingzhou ghost cavalry who come and go like the wind has already set foot in the camp, leaving only smoke and corpses all over the ground.

If the general ordered the army to pursue in a rage, the Qingzhou ghost cavalry would take advantage of the gap in the elongated battle line to suddenly kill a horse gun, which was another unreasonable killing. Anyway, their speed is extremely fast, which means that they can always hold the initiative, fight when they want, and walk as they want, this kind of leisurely self-satisfaction is enough to make any enemy sad and angry.

However, it is difficult to use this method of warfare to block reinforcements.

Naturally, this local battle became the largest battle of Qingzhou ghost cavalry attrition.

The 2,000 Qingzhou ghost horsemen who blocked the reinforcements finally only returned 900 people, and almost all of these 100 people were injured.

The Qingzhou ghost cavalry could not be supplied in the Tang Dynasty, let alone stop to take care of the wounded, and in the end, half of the 900 people died on the way home.

Zhu Ran was stabbed nine times that day, and when he came back to his life, the blood had already wet the leather armor, and the old soldier used the knife to cut his armor little by little, and those terrible wounds like opening his mouth had been adhered to the armor.

He couldn't let go of the sword that was only half cut in his hand, because his hand was as stiff as a stone in the already slashing and slashing, and he couldn't move at all.

But he still reported the results of the battle with an unchanging face, his heart beating vigorously in his chest, and the sound was like thunder.

Afterwards, the veterans recalled from memory that he alone had beheaded at least 300 armor soldiers.

It was also through this battle that Gao Changgong cut off the only veteran who had the ability to threaten him in the Tang Kingdom, and the remaining Tang army was nothing more than trembling sheep in front of the wolf-like Qingzhou ghost horsemen.

How could such a person who could survive a hundred battles be a weakling?

Qin Ke's eyes widened.

He seemed to see a full moon blooming in his eyes, and the cold blade had already attached to his body in just a moment, not that he didn't want to dodge, but he couldn't dodge at all, at this moment he was defenseless, and his legs and feet were injured in that military exercise, in the face of such a thunderous knife, what could he do as a lame man who injured his leg?

The wind ruffled his hair, but instead of cooling, a chill spread up his neck, blooming with pinprick-like tingles.

Zhu Ran's sword drawing technique was tempered in blood and fire, and naturally it would bring a sense of killing intent, this feeling Qin Ke had also experienced in Mulan, but Mulan didn't really want to kill him, after all, she was a little less sharp.

And Zhu Ran's knife is with the determination to kill!

That's it...... Inexplicably dead?

Qin Ke felt the stinging pain in his neck, and suspected that Zhu Ran's blade had been embedded in his neck, it was said that if the knife was fast enough, when the head fell to the ground, he would not feel too much pain.

When Qin Ke thought of this, he was a little ridiculous and a little sad. I thought to myself, is this really going to experience the feeling of a human head falling to the ground?

So...... Should I scream?

Or should you be tougher and scold?

So that when you die, you don't look like a coward?

Qin Ke's mind was in a mess.

At this moment, the sword light swept over Qin Ke's shoulder, and the sharp blade slashed into a young body in silence. From the shoulder blades to the ribs, the muscles and bones could not be stopped for a moment under such a sharp knife, and the little eunuch Chen Chu, who was still standing behind Qin Ke just now, smiled innocently, and his hands pushing the wheelchair were frozen in the air.

Qin Ke came to his senses almost immediately, and then in hysteria, he opened his arms vigorously, like a beast swooping down on Zhu Ran, and grabbed Zhu Ran's strong arm with one hand.

But that power still soaked Chen Chu's body, and the blade had already cut off his heart.

Zhu Ran's wrist turned slightly, and a stream of hot blood spurted on Qin Ke's back.

Chen Chu, who couldn't even let out a snort, fell, followed by a few thuds, and his body rolled from the highest step to the last step, and the long blood stain stretched from under the fallen wheelchair to the bottom of the steps.

Qin Ke felt as if a thousand leather drums were being struck by a mallet in his chest, and the rumbling sound shook his bones to the point that they were about to crack.

"You're crazy!" he roared, the pain in his neck turned out to be just his own hallucination, and the person who could really feel the pain was already lying in a pool of blood.

He didn't dare to turn his head to look at Chen Chu's corpse, but the spicy smell of blood on Zhu Ran's knife still kept burrowing into his nose.

Qin Ke shouted uncontrollably, followed by a punch towards Zhu Ran's throat, as the qi and blood he had cultivated for so many years hit the meridians like a mad dragon, his internal organs, bones, and muscles seemed to be responding to his anger.

Never once had he wanted to kill someone so strongly.

Zhu Ran took a step back, his movements seemed very casual, but it was precisely this step that he retreated to the farthest range that Qin Ke's fist could reach.

Probably due to habit, after he took a step back, his hand holding the knife waved, and the warm blood could not be absorbed on the smooth blade of flowing water for a long time, and with a "snap", a ball of blood exploded on the ground.

This indifferent attitude that seemed to have nothing to do with him made Qin Ke even more angry, gritted his teeth, and his uninjured right leg bent, like a bowstring that had been taut for a moment, and then suddenly relaxed, crossed a distance of one foot, and got close to Zhu Ran.

Seven Advance Sword!

Qin Ke's eyes were full of essence, although he didn't bring a sword, it didn't prevent him from turning his body into a deadly weapon.

The first time he entered and the wind roared, and the fingers that were close together seemed to have really given birth to a sword blade, and in this push, he poked Zhu Ran's eyes.

Perhaps because he felt the sharpness of Qin Ke's sword, Zhu Ran was slightly surprised, and before his eyes were about to be blinded by Qin Ke, he took a step back.

Qin Ke's fingertips fell to the ground and fell to the ground, but he immediately bent his knees and jumped again.

The second of the seven swords, Chaolu, pointed directly at Zhu Ran's chest at this moment.

This morning dew is not the other morning dew, the second enterprising is the meaning of dripping water through the stone, although it is not as fast as the first into the wind, but the sharp air contained in it is more than the first in.

Qin Ke had no doubt that as long as he could really poke Zhu Ran's chest, even if his fingers were all broken because of this, that power could penetrate Zhu Ran's chest and hurt his heart and lungs.

"Stop. Zhu Ran finally spoke, but Qin Ke's movements did not hesitate at all, and he still stubbornly moved forward.

Zhu Ran looked at Qin Ke's serious appearance, after all, he didn't really try to catch Qin Ke's hand with his body, and with the long knife in his hand moving slightly, he took a step back again.

The third advance –

Qin Ke gritted his teeth and whispered in his heart, even the Xunfeng technique was in full swing at this moment, and those originally disorderly winds gathered together, pushing his thin body forward, allowing him to move forward and get closer to Zhu Ran again......
