【Chapter 628】Kwandong Wind and Cloud Battle Hedong (4)
"Under the command of the General of the Cavalry, Wang Fang, the general of the Dongyuan, is here. Who dares to fight with me?"
After defeating the leader of Baibo in one round, Wang Fang did not take Hu Cai's head and retreat to the city, but instead jumped in front of the horse formation and shouted angrily.
In front of Sun Ce's army, seeing Wang Fang pulling his horse and raising his gun to challenge the three leaders of Bai Bo's army covered their faces and wiped their tears, but from the corner of their eyes he was paying attention to the actions of the other party who was a hundred steps away.
In this battle, Han Xian was on the left wing of the army, while Yang Feng and Li Le were on the right wing of the army, with more than a hundred steps apart, and Sun Ce's troops stood among them. A hundred steps apart were apart, and the three leaders of the Baibo Army met one after another, then quickly moved away, and then they all turned their eyes to Sun Ce and the four veterans around him.
Obviously, Han Xian, Yang Feng and Li Le made up their minds not to fight, but hoped that Sun Ce and his four veterans could fight. As long as one of Sun Ce's five ministers went to fight, he would definitely be able to defeat Wang Fang, boost the morale of the entire army, and revitalize the military's prestige.
This is definitely not a conjecture out of thin air, but the facts are there.
In the eyes of Han Xian, Yang Feng and Li Le, they didn't know how good Sun Ce was before, but in the battle of the Allied Military Academy, Sun Ce could fight with Lu Bu for 30 rounds and remain undefeated. This is enough to explain everything. As for Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and Zu Mao, Sun Jian led four trusted generals to advance rapidly and become more powerful in the Chenliu Alliance. Cheng Pu and Sun Jian became famous together. Now Sun Jian has been dead for a long time, but Cheng Pu and the four of them have lived for a long time, which shows that these four are extremely brave.
Therefore, the three leaders of the Baibo Army believed that Cheng Pu and the other four were all extremely brave and could definitely defeat Wang Fang. As for themselves, although the four leaders of the Baibo Army were of the same lineage before the alliance, they were all remnants of the Yellow Turbans, but they were incompatible with each other and wanted to annex each other and strengthen themselves. If their own martial arts skills surpassed Hu Cai, they would definitely not tolerate Hu Cai until now. Therefore, the martial arts skills of the four leaders were originally comparable, otherwise the Baibo thieves would have been integrated into a army and there was no need to unite to participate in the alliance.
"You will fight when you want to fight, and you will retreat if you don't fight! Now you don't fight, what do you mean?" Wang Fang waited for a long time in front of the formation, but he still did not see anyone in Sun Ce's army going to fight, and immediately shouted loudly.
Tattata!
When he heard Wang Fang's yell again, Han Xian rode his horse towards the central army, and Yang Feng and Li Le from the right wing also rode out and walked towards Sun Ce.
The three leaders of the Baibo army united together at this time. Han Xiance walked up to Sun Ce and said respectfully: "General Sun, now the enemy general is yelling and scolding in front of the formation. Please make a decision quickly!"
Sun Ce squinted his eyes and looked at Han Xian and the other two, with a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I heard that the four leaders of Bai Bo Army sympathize with their brothers. Now your younger brothers have been killed by the enemy generals. Don't you want to avenge him? I'm waiting for you to avenge Hu Cai. After all, how can you deal with the revenge of killing your brother? I'm right?"
"This,,,!" Han Xian and the other two were stunned when they heard this. Then they changed their colors, their cheeks became hot and their faces were red.
After hesitating for a while, Han Xian whispered in shame: "It's a shame for General Sun to laugh. To be honest, the four brothers of us are equally skilled, and no one is much better. Now that the Hu Cai brother has died tragically at the hands of Wang Fang, even if we want to avenge him, we are afraid we are not Wang Fang's opponents. Therefore, we can only settle for the second best, treat the wife, children, and children of Hu Cai brothers well, handle his funeral properly, and do everything possible. As for revenge, we are indeed powerless, what can we do?"
"Oh? So that's how it is." Sun Ce nodded slightly in surprise. Then he waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, you should retreat to our own formation and lead the troops. The three leaders will not bother with the battle in front of the formation. I have to worry about it. Go."
"Thank you, General, we will leave." Han Xian and the other two looked at each other, then bowed their hands and bowed, and each turned around and returned to their own formation.
"Hmph! What? These white wave thieves are really unfaithful. They used to be together to call each other brothers, but now they are so unbearable, it's simply cold!" After Han Xian and the other two left, Huang Gai snorted coldly with contempt.
Sun Ce shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "They are the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. They have been entrenched in the mountains and forests around Baibo Valley for many years, and they have fought and fought each other continuously. This alliance was also attracted by the money and food provided by Yuan Shao, so they came together. Their united army was just a temporary solution, not a sincere friendship, but still intrigue and hatred each other behind them. Now that Hu Cai is dead, their most urgent thing is how to divide the thousands of soldiers left by Hu Cai and the wealth in Hu Cai's camp. Other things are nothing to do.
Heart. This is a group of people who are profit-oriented. For them, their feelings and morality have long been thrown out of the sky. Talking about loyalty with them is like playing the piano for a cow, and it is useless at all. If you want to truly convince them and not dare to have any other intentions, there is only one way, that is, make them worry and fear all the time; in this way, they will use it for me when their lives are at stake. However, I, Sun Ce, disdained to join them and looked down on such waste!"
Speaking of this, Sun Ce's indifference was abrupt and his words turned sharply: "Okay, the life and death of these people have nothing to do with us, let them die. Now the war is still important. You can plunder the formation for me, wait for me to fight, and cut off the head of the king!"
"Let's wait!" Before Sun Ce lifted the reins and came out of the formation, Cheng Pu immediately reached out to stop him and said anxiously: "The young master is so noble. How can he fight with an unknown person like Wang Fang? He is not worthy! The young master will sit here and wait for the last general to kill Wang Fang and restore his military power!"
"Well, that's fine." Sun Ce hesitated a little, then nodded, "If you have no choice, Uncle Cheng will go out and run, be sure to take down Wang Fang's head and let the generals under Li Zhe see how powerful Uncle Cheng is!"
"No, I will obey the order!" Cheng Pu bowed his hand and then pulled the reins of the horse, lifted the sword with one hand, jumped out of the battle, and headed straight for Wang Fang.
——————————————
"God———The thief general Wang Fangshou is clamoring, Cheng Pu Cheng Demou comes to meet you!"
Like Wang Fang, Cheng Pu, who was riding a horse and carrying a knife, rushed towards Wang Fang while slamming his horse and calling out his name.
Most of the military generals of this era are like this. During the battle in front of the formation, any well-known general will report their names in advance to show that they are open and honest, and will never fight undeclared, so as not to win without force and damage their reputation. Wang Fang, who is in his thirties, is the same age as Cheng Pu. Both of them are long-standing generals on the battlefield, and are also famous generals. The only difference is that they belong to different camps, and are enemies, not friends.
"Cheng Pu?" Wang Fang, who was challenging in front of the formation, was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then raised his eyebrows and said sternly: "So you are Cheng Pu! It happened to be right. When the white horse was fighting in the past, a family failed to compete with you. Today, I will definitely take the head of your neck!"
While speaking, Wang Fang held a spear in his hand, held a rein and galloped out of the horse. He hedged Cheng Pu on his face.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
Wang Fang and Cheng Pu met in an instant, and a spear about 12 feet long collided with Cheng Pu's hand. In an instant, Wang Fang stabbed with a gun, and the cold-spark spear stretched and stretched and slashed as fast as a snake core. Cheng Pu's hand was also not weak, slashing horizontally, and was as fierce as a tiger. At first, the two attacked quickly, and the spear and the sword hit each other. The body dodged quickly as the wind, and the attack and defense turned around and refused to give in to each other.
The two horses passed by, and the first match ended. None of the two sides took advantage of it. It seemed that the match was even, but in fact they had already tested the strength of each other. They had already had a scheming problem in their minds.
"Tada!"
Quickly return to the horse and fight again. The two men who rode the horse again did not hold back. They used all their strength in each move, with fierce attacks and heavy power, trying to knock the opponent down with one blow. However, neither of them was mediocre, whether it was martial arts, weapons and fighting skills, horse riding skills, and fighting experience. Both sides were very skilled, both of them were of top rank, and had combat power that was no less than first-class masters. Therefore, neither side would think of defeating the opponent or killing the opponent within a few rounds. No matter who wanted to win, they must show courage and courage that surpassed the opponent, otherwise it would be difficult to win quickly.
"Dangdang---Dada!"
The war horses intersected back and forth, the weapons hit the sky, and the sound of the collision was loud and fierce. The people and horses came and went, and more than ten rounds passed in a blink of an eye, but the two sides were still in a stalemate, and no one could do anything to each other. The match was equal and the match was equal.
"Bang bang bang!" A heavy and rapid footsteps suddenly sounded behind Teng Xiao and others who were watching the battle on the city tower. This made the generals such as Teng Xiao, Tie Xiao, Xu Ding and Guo Meng who were fully focused on watching the battle on the battle suddenly wake up, and immediately turned their heads and looked behind them.
"Uh———Master?"
"Why are you looking at me like this? It's just a few days later. Don't you know me, Li Li? Hahaha!"
Under the gaze of Teng Xiao and others with surprise, Li Li strode to the city and laughed loudly with a smile. Following that were right-hand military advisor Guo Jia, Jin Qiwei commander Li Zhi, Longxiang Camp commander Ma Chao, Ma Dai and Ma Tie brothers, Gao Shun, deputy commander Hu Zheng, Huan Quan, and generals such as Teng Xiao's tent, including generals such as Xu Gu and He Yi, a total of more than 20 civil and military officials.
"We will pay homage to the lord, and we have met the military advisors, generals!" Teng Xiao immediately stepped forward, led a group of generals to bow and salute, and greeted everyone behind Li Li.
Li Li smiled and helped Teng Xiao up, raised his hand to signal the generals to get up, and said with a smile: "This time, Yun Long and you all have been wronged. He defended the city to the death and avoided the battle. He watched more than ten city camps taken by the enemy. It was really breathless and felt very cowardly. Am I right? Hahaha!"
"This, lord, lord, wisely." Teng Xiao was stunned when he heard the sound, and then said frankly: "It is true that the lord said. Within ten days, the five counties in the south were lost, and more than ten cities were lost, and almost half of the Hedong County was handed over to the enemy. This move was really cowardly and had a great impact on morale, which made us deeply feel ashamed. At the end of the day, the generals and the generals were holding their anger and not vomiting. Therefore, today, Sun Ce's army challenged them before the pass, and the last morning they had just sent General Wang Fang out of the city to fight."
"Well, I saw the scene of killing the generals in front of the formation just now, and I did a pretty job!" Li Li smiled and nodded, and continued, "I thought our generals fighting in front of the formation were one of you. Unexpectedly, it was Wang Fang, which was a bit beyond my expectations."
Speaking of this, Li Li's sword eyebrows were slightly beaten, his smile was closed, and he said seriously: "Wang Fang and Li Meng are both generals with a strong qualification in our army. They have rarely fought since the Battle of the Southern Suburbs and have been stationed in the city behind. Wang Fang has good martial arts skills, a calm personality, but he is a little more capable and has insufficient progress. This time he took the lead in the battle, which is very different from his previous style of dealing with things. It is quite abnormal. I wonder if Yun Long had ever thought of this festival?"
"What the lord said is very much. The last general told the general about this matter just now. General Wang Fang is indeed a bit abnormal today. He is eager to fight and is completely different from before." Teng Xiao nodded and responded.
After hearing this, Li Li's expression changed slightly. He walked to the arrow bush and looked down at the formation under the city to fight, and said in a deep voice: "Well, since the king insisted on doing this, then let's do it."
After saying that, Li Li didn't say much, holding the arrows on the city. He narrowed his eyes slightly toward Sun Ce's army formation, and then stopped at Sun Ce in front of the station horse formation. He looked at him motionlessly for a long time, as if he was thinking.
Seeing the lord staring in thought, Teng Xiao waved his hand to signal the generals to silence, and then raised his hand to signal the military advisors Guo Jia, Li Zhi, Ma Chao and Gao Shun to move to the top of the city. Standing next to Li Li, close to watch the battle.
Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Fang and Cheng Pu were fighting fiercely in front of the formation. The two sides fought fiercely. They had been fighting for more than 30 rounds so far, but the outcome was still not decided and the situation was unclear.
Seeing Wang Fang so brave, the Xiliang generals watching the battle on the top of the city were quite excited. There was a smile on their faces and a little fascinated with their eyes. Obviously, Wang Fang killed the generals and made great contributions as soon as he went out to fight. It was the second battle. No matter what the outcome of this battle was, he had already made military achievements. After the war, his lord Li Li must be rewarded. This made the audience who had not had any war for two years envious. Because they had also been waiting for a long time, but unfortunately, Wang Fang took the lead in the battle and took the lead.
As a military general, as long as he is not a greedy person who is afraid of death, he will definitely not fall behind in war. This is a truly powerful army. If the generals are afraid to fight, the soldiers will definitely be afraid to move forward. How can such a weak army win?
Just as the generals were thinking, Ma Chao, who was standing beside Teng Xiao, suddenly spoke out: "No, General Wang Fang is in danger. Please immediately order the generals who plundered the formation to rescue!"
"Uh. Gong Ming is just rushing under the city, it should be too late!" Teng Xiao responded in shock. Obviously, he also saw that Wang Fang was in a bad situation, but he would not endanger his life. However, after Ma Chao issued a warning, he suddenly discovered that Wang Fang was careless and his plan was already in danger and his life was worrying.
"Clang!" Just as Teng Xiao finished speaking, on the battlefield in front of the formation a hundred steps away from the city tower, Wang Fang, who was leaping the horse and lifting the gun, swung the gun and slashed the sword in Cheng Pu's hand, and then stabbed the sword straight. The cold spear barely passed by Cheng Pu's left arm and stabbed the air with one shot. At this moment, Cheng Pu, who pretended to be defeated, leaned sideways on the horse's back, and the sword that was shaken by Wang Fang suddenly rose up and went straight to Wang Fang's right arm that was slashing.
"puff!"
In an instant, a low sound of sharp weapon breaking the body was heard, but the cold light flashed in the blade and immediately penetrated into Wang Fang's chest on the upper right side. The moment he got caught in the knife, Wang Fang, who was stabbing the sky, burst into tears of pain. However, in the scream, he did not turn over and fall off the horse. Instead, he grabbed the back of the knife with his left hand, swung his hand with a spear with his right hand, and fought back to death.
"Ah——!" With a shrill scream, Wang Fang was knocked down by Cheng Pu's horse, and his right chest was cut open by a sword. Wang Fang was on the verge of death and stabbed Cheng Pu's left abdomen with a long spear, piercing several inches, almost piercing his left abdomen. So much so that when Wang Fang screamed, Cheng Pu also screamed in pain, but he held the reins tightly and leaned on the horse's back and did not fall off.
"Bang!" After the bang landed, Wang Fang vomited blood and did not die immediately. Instead, he struggled and turned his head to look at the city. His eyes were dim and his despair were mixed with a bit of repentance and relief. It seemed that he had died and his wish was enough.
Cheng Pu, who also suffered severe injuries, had serious injuries on his left abdomen. A bloody wound gushed in blood. It was shocking to see it and it was unbearable to look at it. Fortunately, the wound was located on the outside. Although the wound was large, it did not hit the vital point. Otherwise, he might have died in front of Wang Fang.
The sword that Cheng Pu hit Wang Fang just now was defeated by surprise. It was as fast as the wind, but the force was not strong. Therefore, the moment the sword broke through Wang Fang's chest, the blade was stuck in the sternum, dragging it with mud, leaving Wang Fang with an opportunity to fight back. When Cheng Pu made a contribution with one sword, he was overjoyed. When his mind relaxed slightly, he was extremely happy and sad. He was hit by Wang Fang's counterattack and stabbed the outside of his left abdomen and suffered severe damage.
This scene was full of twists and turns, and it was a sudden change. Cheng Pu cheated and lost and made a profit. However, Wang Fang was a little lazy at the moment of success, and was immediately attacked by Wang Fang on the verge of death. After the two horses passed by, Wang Fang was dismissed. Cheng Pu was seriously injured, and no one could escape unscathed, as if both sides were injured.
"The evil thief was killed!" Cheng Pu, who was lying on the horse's back, became very fierce under serious injury. Not only did he not escape back to the formation at the first time, he turned around and tried to return to the horse and add another knife to Wang Fang, killing his head to achieve full success.
"Da da da da!"
"Stop! The old thief should not be arrogant and eat a certain axe!" Just as Cheng Pu returned to his horse and raised his sword to try to cut off Wang Fang's head, he saw a fast horse suddenly rushing out of the Xiliang army formation in front of the city gate. The sound of horse hooves was as fast as thunder. After a few breaths, he ran to the front of the formation, as fierce as a tiger, and rushed straight to Cheng Pu.
In an instant, Cheng Pu turned around when he heard the sound, but the sword in his hand wanted to cut off Wang Fang's head while the person was unable to rescue him. Unexpectedly, the moment the sword approached Wang Fang, a sharp sharp weapon roared through the air, and instantly swung Cheng Pu's sword, and then the roar came again. The murderous axe blade rushed straight to Cheng Pu's right arm and slashed horizontally.
