Chapter 282: Qiang Guan Youyou's Frost All Over the Ground (7)
Although people suspect that Zu Dabi is the archer who hides in the army and hurts people with hidden arrows, but there is no other evidence, and people have not seen Zu Dabi's magic arrows with their own eyes, and the army is just a rumor. And the more rumors are spreading, the more fearful the rebel generals are of Zu Dabi, the plague god.
Zhang Nai's ears often hear people talk about the story of the ancestral family Zhenliao for generations, especially in recent years, the imperial court ordered Zu Dabi and Wu Sangui to enter the Guanning Iron Cavalry and participate in the battle with the rebels from all walks of life, and Zu Dabi's reputation has become even greater. Many generals who have fought with him say that this ancestor is the reincarnation of the black bear spirit, and every time he fights, this ancestor is extremely brave, and he shouts with joy when he fights.
Not only does the big axe in his hand have the power to open mountains and crack stones, but it is also said that he is the first condor archer of the Ming Dynasty, and the iron-backed bow behind him can only be pulled away by four loads. Earlier, there were a few generals in the Thirteen Families who were good at archery, and they were not angry with his name as an archer, but all those generals who saw him open their bows and arrows were almost all beheaded by this ancestor Dabi array, and no one in the peasant army had ever seen how his archery skills were
Li Zicheng's heart was also a little entangled, and he also knew that the officials and soldiers also said that the strength of Zu Dabi was second only to Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of the Tianxiong Army, who was born with divine power, and He Renlong, who was known as He Renlong, a madman. He was originally guarding against Wu Sangui behind him, but he didn't expect Wu Sangui to be killed by his nephew Li Guo and didn't meet him, but instead beat the child and provoked the adult, and he actually met Wu Sangui's uncle at this time.
In March and April last year, when Li Zicheng's army retreated from outside the fortress to the southeast of Longdong, Hong Chengchou sent the general Zu Dabi to intercept it in Taozhou, and he defeated Zu Dabi's front army, and opened a bloody road before Zu Dabi's Chinese army arrived. He had received a report that Hong Chengchou had placed Zu Dabi, Sun Xianzu and several other generals in the areas of Lantian, Weinan and Xianyang ten days ago to prevent his men from breaking into Xi'an.
He didn't expect that Zu Dabi would really be like the news that he had brought to him, and now he had come to Xuanguan Plateau ahead of him. Li Zicheng's surprise at this moment did not show it on his face at all, and the people on the left and right only saw Li Zicheng staring at the battlefield in front of him without blinking.
The men and horses of the standard camp anxiously awaited his orders, and then rushed across the river to kill. Li Zicheng's heart was not pure, when he looked at Zhang Nai and the generals around him with cold eyes, he found that the faces of these people were all impatient, and Zhang Nai, the commander of the standard battalion, was even more invincible, and he was anxious to fight Zu Dabi.
As the commander of the three armies, Li Zicheng was a little satisfied with the active pursuit of the men and horses of the standard battalion, and he said in a calm voice: "Little Naizi, don't worry about the people who tell you, let's take a look at the old enemy immediately." ”
His voice was like telling his nephew who was about to go out to fish and catch shrimp, his voice was soft and easy-going, casually eloquent, as if he was not talking to others, but to himself. However, it was this soft-spoken sentence that Zhang Nai and the soldiers of the standard camp seemed to have the backbone, what a rock-solid official and military array, what kind of condor archer Zu Dabi, the battlefield they were about to go to was only the fallen corpses, and there were no enemies who dared to fight.
As a result, the nervous expressions on people's faces disappeared, and Li Zicheng's back became active. Several veterans did not forget to check the outfits of the recruits at any time, and even a few soldiers who had been photographed by Zu Dabi's prestige also joked with each other.
"Is your rope ready?" a soldier, who was trembling with nervousness just a moment ago, asked his serious-looking companion with a relaxed expression.
"What do you want rope for?" said the whitish young man, whose fingers were already clutching in the grip of his weapon, turning his head in bewilderment.
"It seems that not only Sun Chuanting is in front of us, Lao Hong is also here, I only have a hemp rope on me, and one is missing. ”
The young man laughed, he understood that his companion's joke might kill him on the battlefield, nodded earnestly, and at the moment he turned back, he exclaimed in a low voice: "Look, go down here and save that fellow!
The military academy that surrounded Li Zicheng saw the camel guide riding on the big green mule at this time, shouting loudly and running towards the river, behind him there were dozens of cavalry of the official army in hot pursuit, and a military officer and army horse with a folding iron knife in his hand was fast, and at this time he almost caught up with the camel. The big green mule of the camel took off with four hooves and leaped into the river beach with a pop, widening the distance considerably; although the pursuers behind saw that there were more than a dozen intruders here, they were so numerous that they did not take these enemies to heart, and they were still in hot pursuit, and behind the low bushes on one side, they chased out a few more infantrymen, who wanted to intercept the camels running backwards.
Li Zicheng's several standard battalion guards around him saw that the camel was about to be captured, but they saw his gravel stick behind him, and one guy knocked down an infantryman. A few cavalrymen quickly caught up behind him, and the cavalry of the officer with the folding iron knife in his hand just now pursued the fastest, and his horsehead medicine factory approached the tail of the big green mule, and the saber he held high, as long as he took another step, it would cut off the back of the camel.
At this critical moment, there was a soldier who was originally seriously injured on the river beach, suddenly raised half of his body, threw out the short sword in his hand, and the pursuer who was chasing the camel in front suddenly shook his body and fell off his horse without saying a word; almost at the same time, one of Zhang Nai's eagle arrows also hit the horse of the pursuer in front, and the horse jumped up and made a half-round, blocking the other pursuers.
Before the pursuers behind could react, another officer and cavalry fell from their horses with an arrow, and the rest of the dozens of people were terrified and reined in fear, and some even shouted and fled back in amazement.
Seeing that the camel turned over and fled in fright, Li Zicheng signaled to let the standard battalion soldiers let him come closer.
"Why are you the only one who came back?" asked Li Zicheng's own soldiers curiously
When the camel came to him panting, Li Zicheng asked him softly, "Didn't you hang the lottery?"
"I ...... I'm separated from the rest of you. A group of officers and soldiers chased after me, wanting to get our big green mule, and I would not surrender!" said the hunchback, panting.
Li Zicheng saw that his legs were bleeding, and there were also blood stains on the oak sticks, so he nodded and said, "Is it really a lottery?"
"It's out of the way, only a minor injury to my thigh. The camel said nonchalantly
Li Zicheng didn't ask any more, and told him to go to the old camp to see where there was any medicine for the wounds, and after wrapping up the wounds, he stayed there to follow the old camp of the Gao family.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and a fast horse galloped from the south......
