Chapter 22: The Great Army Prepares to Go North
Wang Shun heard the sound of the horse's hooves approaching, held the saddle with his left hand, and his body rotated half a circle on the horse's back, falling to the side of the horse's body, and the tiger head gun in his hand stabbed backwards.
Pan Bao saw that he was about to catch up with Wang Shun, and he was overjoyed, and raised his knife to cut Wang Shun's back, thinking that this knife would not cut you into two pieces. Unexpectedly, Wang Shun's body suddenly disappeared on horseback, the man slashed the air, his eyes flashed, and suddenly saw an iron gun running to his throat, Pan Bao was very angry, turned his head, and the tip of the gun flew out against his neck, leaving a gap. Wang Shun shook his right hand, and the tip of the tiger head gun flicked, hitting Pan Leopard's neck, Pan Leopard only felt that his shoulders were like a hundred catties of weight, "Ahhh
At the same time that Pan Bao was knocked over by Wang Shun and dismounted, the other two men rushed up with a shout, holding a mace and a halberd to surround Wang Shun. Wang Shun's face did not change, so he fired the tiger head gun and fought with the two.
Seeing the two men besieging Wang Shun, Qu Bingru was very anxious on the side, and a deputy general next to him said: "Don't worry, it's not a problem for General Wang to take down these two men, and he doesn't want us to help him." β
Xiao Ling'er watched it wonderfully: "General Wang's marksmanship is like a god, it's too powerful." β
I saw Wang Shun with a spear left and right, or picking, blocking, teasing, or racking, although the martial arts of the two men were also good, but they could not get close to him.
The man who made the mace looked at Wang Shun with a flaw, exerted all his strength, and smashed down on the top of Wang Shun's head with a stick on the head, Wang Shun held the reins of the war horse with his left hand, and lifted it to the left, and the war horse was lifted to the left with a step in the crotch, "bang", the man's mace smashed a pit on the ground, Wang Shun's right hand spear turned into a stick, and swept to the man's body like lightning, the man's mace did not have time to be withdrawn, and was swept out of the horse by Wang Shun's spear, and fell heavily on the ground, unable to get up.
The halberd man didn't look good, shook a halberd, turned the horse's head and wanted to run, Wang Shun clamped the war horse with two feet, and stabbed the man's monkey heart with the tiger head gun in his hand, at this moment, Pan Bao, who was knocked over on the ground, shouted: "General Wang's subordinates are merciful, don't fight, don't fight." Wang Shun withdrew the tiger head gun, and the soldiers behind him cheered loudly.
Wang Shun pointed at Pan Bao with a gun and said, "Why don't you fight, come on, come on, get on the horse and fight for another 300 rounds." β
Pan Bao arched his hand and said: "General Wang is brave, our three brothers admire, please dismount the general, follow me to the cottage to drink a glass of wine, our brothers don't know Mount Tai, and make amends to General Wang." β
"Hahaha. Wang Shun looked up and laughed. "Okay, I'll go up the mountain with you, have a glass of wine and then leave, but let my lieutenant go first. β
Pan Bao laughed: "General Wang is refreshing." He waved his hand and let go of the lieutenant.
In the Dawang Mountain Village, Pan Bao picked up a bowl of wine and stood up: "Today, my brothers and General Wang don't know each other, it can be regarded as fate, come, we pay tribute to General Wang." β
Wang Shun picked up his wine glass: "Passing by Dawang Mountain today, I was fortunate to meet a few heroes, but I don't know how many heroes are so heroic, but why do they fall into the grass and occupy the mountain here?"
Pan Bao: "The person who fought with General Wang today to make the mace is called Liu Yunlong, and the person who makes the halberd is called Zhou Kui, both of whom are heroes." I was a head of Yangzhou, because I couldn't get used to seeing a boss oppress the people, I taught him a lesson, I didn't expect to kill people by mistake, and then fled all the way to health, got acquainted with Zhou Kui and Liu Yunlong, who were performing arts, became brothers, heard the invasion of the Jin people, we totaled, I wanted to come to Ezhou to join the army, passing by here, I didn't expect that there was a group of thieves on Dawang Mountain, stopping my brothers and three people wanted to rob, the leader could not fight my brother, was killed by my brother, we saw that this Dawang Mountain is steep, and there is no place to go, so the three of us brothers took over this cottage, as a footholdγ β
Wang Shun snorted coldly: "That's the case, but how can you kill innocents indiscriminately?"
Pan Bao said: "General Wang misunderstood, although the three of us brothers occupy the mountain as the king, but never rob the people, today I saw General Wang and his party, our brothers thought that the court and gave gifts to the Jinren, so they went down the mountain to intercept." β
Wang Shun nodded: "Since your brother is so righteous, why don't you rush to the front line with me, resist Jin, kill the enemy, and uphold justice, it is better than occupying the mountain and being the king here." β
The three Pan Bao brothers glanced at each other: "Qi knelt down and said: "Thank you General Wang for your mercy today, our brothers are willing to listen to General Wang's orders, resist Jin and kill the enemy, and never give up." β
"Hahaha. Wang Shun laughed and helped Brother Pan Bao: "Okay, your three brothers will go with me to kill the enemy and serve the country, and set up sweat and horses." β
Pan Bao and the other three said: "I am willing to listen to General Wang's orders." β
Seeing this heroic scene, Xiao Ling'er was very arrogant, and she also drank a few glasses of wine.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Pan Bao asked everyone to pack up the gold, silver, soft and soft, weapons and ordnance, and then set fire to the cottage, and more than 600 people all joined Wang Shun's team.
With these hundreds of people, the team has grown even stronger, and it has marched all the way to Ezhou.
After a few more days, it was not far from Ezhou, and the spies sent reported that the war in Shunchang was tight, and the Yuejia army had already waved its army north to rescue Shunchang five days ago.
Wang Shun said: "Since the Yuejia army has gone to Shunchang, we now have thousands of people, and we can already confront the Jin people, so it is better for us to go directly to the north and start a war with the Jin people, so that we can also contain the enemy's strength and reduce the pressure on the main force." β
Pan Bao felt that this was too presumptuous: "We are alone in this way, and it is very dangerous to have no reinforcements." β
"Otherwise, the main force of the Jin soldiers is in Shunchang, and it is too late for us to support Shunchang, but we can go all the way north to cooperate with other anti-Jin teams to contain the Jin soldiers. β
Zhou Kui nodded: "General Wang's words are very true, we will go all the way north, maybe we can form a strong anti-gold team." β
So Wang Shun ordered Pan Bao to be the first peak, Liu Yunlong and Zhou Kui to be the deputy pioneers, Qu Bingru to be the deputy general, the army was renamed the Anti-Jin Righteous Army, and the troops turned around and marched north.
Xiao Ling'er was also made an ordinary soldier, led by a capital leader, as Qu Bingru's guard.
The rebel army went all the way to the north, and along the way, there were scattered soldiers who joined bravely, and when they reached the river, the rebel army had a lineup of 1,500 people, and the number of generals had increased to more than 20 people, which was already a powerful team.
On this day, Wang Shun and the generals were discussing in the tent whether to cross the river and continue to go north, and some generals suggested that they could go, because the main force of the Jin soldiers was already in Shunchang, and there should not be many Jin soldiers north of the river. However, some generals thought that it was not possible to rush in, because the rebel army was a temporary team, which had not been reorganized in a unified manner, and the material baggage was not fully prepared, and it was very dangerous to suddenly rush in.
Wang Shun thought about it for a long time, and it was difficult to make a decision. At this time, the spies came to report that the forward troops of the Jin soldiers were defeated by the defending general Liu Qi in Shunchang, and the main general Jin Wushu led the main force to surround Shunchang and prepare for a decisive battle with Liu Qi.
Wang Shun laughed when he heard this: "Liu Qi is familiar with the art of war, good at defensive warfare, with him, Shunchang will be safe, and the righteous army will cross the river tomorrow, intercept their back road, and respond to Shunchang." β
All the generals said in unison: "Obey." β
