Chapter 51: Fighting Alone
On an autumn morning, there is a chill in the wind. But for some reason, Aodun slept in the greenhouse but woke up with a sharp wit. He had a dream in which he was beheaded and his head hung on the flagpole at the entrance of the town.
When he didn't debut in his early years, he was instructed by a master. It is said that when Aodun was thirty-nine years old, he ordered Tai Sui to have a bloody disaster, and if he escaped this catastrophe, he would be able to see red and benefit in his life. Coincidentally, Aodun is just 39 years old this year.
When Qingyang City was broken, Aodun thought that his life was at stake, but he wanted to escape without danger and brought out thousands of people. The reason why Aodun is cowering in Pingliang Town is that he wants to spend the New Year in peace and avoid the catastrophe he brought with his life. Unbeknownst to him, a nightmare scared him out of the sky.
This is an omen, and Auden is convinced of it. Although he is now nearly forty years old, he is still brave and strong, but this is due to his lack of proximity to women. The master of the year once reminded: If you want to successfully escape, you must stay away from women. That's why there hasn't been a woman until now.
Ao Dun got up and changed his clothes, called people to serve him, and hung his waist knife on his waist. Thinking that it was not enough, he went to hold his purple gold knife in his hand again, and then went down to the council hall under the escort of the soldiers.
Summoned the generals to discuss the matter, and the subordinate generals all dozed off and entered the hall. Seeing everyone's sleepiness, Aodun couldn't help but feel on fire in his heart. stood up and pounded the big knife on the ground by a ton, and then shouted: "Cheer up." ”
All the generals were awake, and they stood straight with their waists, but they also showed three points of might.
Ao Dun thought about it and felt uneasy, and immediately ordered: "Please General Sun Qian and Fang Daxia." ”
The messenger trotted all the way to deliver the message, and after a while ran back again.
"General Yu, General Sun Qian and Fang Daxia left last night. ”
"What?" Aodun was not only angry in his heart, but he was missing two arms at the critical moment, how could this make him not angry?
The generals didn't know what was going on, and they weren't just looking at it.
Aodun sighed and said, "Okay, let's go." As he spoke, he looked around at the generals in the hall, and then said loudly: "The expansion of our army is too urgent, and the soldiers and horses have not been trained. From today onwards, the whole army will get up at midnight and practice until the first hour of noon, rest for an hour at noon, and continue to practice until dark before dawn. If anyone neglects, military law will be done. ”
When these words came out, the generals immediately exploded and began to discuss. Seeing this, Aodun was furious and said, "What are you arguing about?"
The commander of the infantry battalion is called Ha Shigang, this person is a man of color eyes, and he is a confidant of Aodun. On weekdays, he is cautious and cautious, but he is quite scheming. Seeing that Aodun was annoyed, he not only came out of the queue to hug his fist towards Aodun and said, "General Rongyu." ”
When Aodun saw Ha Shigang, the anger in his heart was three points smaller. Seeing this, he snorted: "Speak." ”
Ha Shigang said slowly: "Most of the soldiers are recruits, and their origins are quite complicated. If the control is too strict in a hurry, I am afraid that there will be chaos. Ha Shigang's words are very vague, and the meaning is very clear: the recruits are all high-rollers in the rivers and lakes and poor men who can't eat, and there are even some scoundrels. If these people were controlled by military law, I am afraid that half of them would have escaped in less than three days.
Hearing this, Aodun not only said angrily again: "Do you want to wait for the Ming army to come and then practice?" Ha Shigang was robbed by this, and he was speechless for a moment. Ao Dun looked at the generals and said sharply: "The Ming army has reached the door of the house, how long will you allow the soldiers to wander?"
Aodun walked back and forth in the hall, and suddenly he was stunned as if something sounded, and immediately ordered: "Ha Shigang." ”
"The subordinates are here. Ha Shigang hurriedly stepped forward to listen to the order.
Aodun thought for a moment before he said, "From today onwards, your infantry battalion will not only inspect Pingliang Town, but also a radius of thirty miles outside this town will also be under your control. Be sure to patrol day and night, and there are no mistakes. ”
Ha Shigang immediately clenched his fists and said: "Obey the general's orders." ”
Aodun snorted in his nose, and then waved his hand and said, "You go down, and immediately order all the people to patrol the town." ”
Ha Shigang arched his hand again and said: "The subordinates retreat." ”
As soon as Hashi came out of the hall, he couldn't help but cry bitterly. The infantry battalion of 2,000 men and horses patrolled Pingliang Town day and night, and even so, it could only divide the 2,000 men into three teams, each with 600 men patrolling for four hours. Take 200 people to dispatch in the center. With a plan in mind, Ha Shigang went straight back to the infantry battalion. First of all, he found a few of his capable subordinates and ordered them one by one. In order to show fairness, Ha Shigang volunteered to be on the first shift.
Riding on the horse, Ha Shigang couldn't help but smile bitterly, except for a few bird calls this morning, there was no one to see, but what kind of thing was he patrolling?
Presumably, this Ha Shigang's head has been opened, and he has just finished thinking here, and he is coming to ride. The man on the horse is wearing a helmet and armor and holding an iron spear, plus the jujube red horse under his crotch, which is very, and at first glance, it can really be described as majestic, as if the gods descended to earth.
Ha Shigang had already seen the coming, but the morning fog had not cleared and he couldn't see it really, and when he walked in with his two hundred soldiers, he couldn't help but be so frightened that he almost peed his crotch. "It's the Ming Army. Ha Shigang shouted, and immediately turned his horse to escape. But then I realized that something was wrong, and when I looked back, there was only one person who came, where was there still a soldier?
Thinking of this, Ha Shigang turned back to the horse's head and reached out to remove the big knife from the saddle hook.
"To be the common name. Hasgang asked with a swagger. With 200 soldiers behind him, he was afraid that he would be alone? Ha Shigang was also quite conceited about his martial arts, and he gambled with the soldiers in the battalion on weekdays, even if three or five people were not close. At this moment, if you see a Ming army, you will run, so as not to be looked down upon by your subordinates.
"Capture the vanguard general Zhang Dakui. Da Kui immediately shot a gun, and there was no trace of emotion in his words. Originally, the autumn morning breeze was cold, and when he heard Da Kui's words, Ha Shigang not only had a chill down his back.
Zhang Dakui's name Ha Shigang has still heard of it, it is simply a god-like existence. He retreated 100,000 male soldiers alone, and explored the deeds of Qingyang City alone, which was known to everyone among the Yuan soldiers. A few days ago, when Aodun held a banquet to entertain Sun Qian and Fang Jiutian, Fang Jiutian also played up Da Kui's life experience.
Even Miao Jiang's poisonous king Fang Daxia is afraid of three-point characters, so can he be small? Who knew that after Ha Shigang heard Da Kui's self-report, he actually laughed and said: "Capture the vanguard general Zhang Dakui? Just you, who do you want to recruit?" Ha Shigang laughed very presumptuously, not that he was not afraid of Da Kui, but that he didn't believe that the person in front of him was Zhang Dakui at all.
How can there be such a coincidence in the world? I just heard about Zhang Dakui's name the night before, and I saw it today?
Da Kui smiled but didn't answer, Ha Shigang laughed coldly: "Whether you are true or not, let's see if General Ben captures you." As soon as the words fell, he took the horse and carried the knife straight to Da Kui to kill.
The two were only twenty battles apart, and Ha Shigang rushed to ten zhang in an instant, and Da Kui was still as immobile as a mountain. Ha Shigang entered the five zhang again, and Da Kui moved. I saw Da Kui's right hand shake and shake his hand to shoot out a stone, which went away with the wind and went straight to the front leg of Ha Shigang's mount.
Ha Shigang was attacking at full speed at the moment, and the distance of more than ten zhang was just enough to increase the speed of the war horse to the highest. He Cheng thought that there was still five zhang away to get close to Da Kui's body, and when he got off the horse, he lost his front hooves with a sad neigh.
"Poof" Ha Shigang, a dog who gnawed on, fell so hard that his whole face fell to the ground. Because the punch was so strong, Hashi just rolled on the ground twice before he got up. I only felt the pain on my face, and I knew that I was broken. Although he fell, Ha Shigang was very clear-headed, but just as he was about to get up, he felt his shoulders sink. Turning his head to look, it was Da Kui holding a gun against his shoulder with one hand.
"You are so capable, you should also call me to fight?" Da Kui smiled slightly, and then continued: "I won't kill you, you go and ask Aodun to change to a decent one." If you can't find someone to fight with me, then call Aurdon to come in person. Let's go!"
Hashi just gritted his teeth, knowing that today was planted. But his war horse has been trained for a long time, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't have lost his front hooves? It can be seen that this Dakui must be a ghost, but his skills are not as good as others, so what can he do?
Hashi just endured the severe pain around him and wanted to stand up slowly. Helplessly, a sharp pain suddenly came from his right leg, and Ha Shigang snorted coldly and fell to the ground again. Da Kui laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be so useless, you can't even stand steadily." As he spoke, he shouted to the soldiers in the distance, "Come two of you, and carry your general back." ”
The main general was defeated with one move, and where did the remaining Yuan soldiers still have the heart to fight again. Hearing Da Kui say that he would not kill Ha Shigang, he also asked them to go over and save people. More than a dozen people who had made friends with Ha Shigang on weekdays hurriedly rushed forward, raising their arms and legs. Someone else went to lead Ha Shigang's war horse and picked up the big knife that Ha Shigang discarded.
Ha Shigang was carried back to the general's palace in the town by the soldiers and carried into the council hall. At this moment, Aodun was deploying soldiers and horses to the generals, and suddenly saw Ha Shigang who was carried into the hall, not only dumbfounded. rushed forward to take a closer look, only to see that half of Ha Shigang's face was blurred with flesh and blood, and he couldn't tell where the nose was and where the mouth was.
Ao Dun was extremely angry, grabbed the collar of a Yuan soldier who came with him and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
When the Yuan soldier saw that Aodun was angry, he immediately stammered: "Big... Big... Checkmate... General, there is a Ming army outside the town. ”
"What?" Aodun was originally full of anger, but at this moment, when he heard that there was a Ming army outside the town, his anger suddenly disappeared. After steady, he slowly let go of his hand, and then looked at Ha Shigang, how could he still talk when he was injured like that? In desperation, Ao Dun asked again: "What is going on? ”
The soldier strengthened his courage, and then replied: "There is only one person outside the town, wearing the armor of the Ming army general and riding a high-headed horse. He also claimed to be 'Zhang Dakui'. Hearing the words 'Zhang Dakui', Ao Dun not only shouted: "Then what? ”
The soldier swallowed his saliva, and then said: "General Ha Shigang and Zhang Dakui did not fight, and General Ha Shigang fell on his horse's front hoof." Zhang Dakui said that General Ha Shigang was not helpful, and asked me to wait for General Hui and fight with him in a decent way. ”
