【Chapter 629】 Guandong Wind and Clouds Battle Hedong (5) 5/5

The moment the sword in his hand was shaken away by the enemy general, Cheng Pu's face changed drastically. The tiger's mouth, holding the knife, suddenly cracked, and the whole right arm was paralyzed, and the sword almost flew out of his hand. When he endured the severe pain in his palm, he saw a long rod and a big axe slashing at him, trying to kill him and his horse with one axe.

In the flash of lightning, Cheng Pu no longer cared about killing Wang Fang, who was lying on the ground without knowing his life or death. He covered the wound on the outside of his left abdomen with his left hand and waved a knife to resist it with his right hand. At the same time, he clamped the horse's belly with both legs, drove the horse to run wildly, trying to escape back to his formation.

"clang!"

With a loud bang, Cheng Pu's sword in his hand was shaken away by a huge force, and he made a quick decision at the moment when the huge force came and gave up in time. Immediately, when the sword was shaken away by an enemy general, he lay on the back of the horse and kicked the horse and ran, running straight to his own formation.

"The thief general is shameless. He dares to attack in front of the battlefield and fight undeclaredly. Wait for some Huang Gai to take the head of his neck!"

Just as Cheng Pu narrowly dropped his sword and fled, two war horses rushed out in front of Sun Ce's army. One of them moved slightly faster, leading the horse out of the formation, and shouted loudly. This person was Huang Gai and Huang Gongfu, the general under Sun Ce, and the person who came out of the formation was Han Dang, who was good at using double maces.

Obviously, as old brothers who have lived and died for many years, when Cheng Pu was in danger, Huang Gai and Han Dang naturally would not refuse to save him. On the contrary, when they saw a fast horse running out of the Xiliang army formation to rescue Wang Fang, they immediately rode out to rescue him, fearing that Cheng Pu would make mistakes. However, they were a little far away from the formation and were slowed down for a while, and were taken first by the Xiliang generals. Not only did they save Wang Fang from Cheng Pu, but they shook the weapons in Cheng Pu's hands, forcing Cheng Pu to flee in a hurry.

The general of Xiliang who was shocked Cheng Pu's sword was the deputy general of Dongyuan City and the commander of the Dianjun Academy, "Gongming". He was ordered to lead three thousand soldiers to scoop the formation for Wang Fang to challenge the formation, and shoulder the burden of protecting Wang Fang's safety. Therefore, when Wang Fang was careless and was hit by Cheng Pu's sword, he immediately took the horse out of the formation and rushed to rescue Wang Fang. Unfortunately, he was one step late after all. Wang Fang had been poisoned by Cheng Pu. Although he had not yet died, he was still unable to make up for the future and his life was not long.

Seeing that Wang Fang was seriously injured, "General Gongming" was quite guilty of himself and immediately wanted to kill Cheng Pu to avenge Wang Fang. At the same time, he also made up for his mistakes. However, Cheng Pu was cunning and was a cunning person. After defeating, he slashed his sword and then gave up the battle knife, turned his head and rode his horse and fled.

"Clang clang clang!"

While wielding the axe to chase, he met Huang Gai, who was rushing towards him, and then fought hard. He saw that the long-handed battle axe, about 15 feet long, collided with the five-foot-long battle knife in Huang Gai's hand, swept and slashed, and instantly attacked continuously, attacking head-on and unyielding. In an instant, the sound of the collision was thunderous, and the sound was shocking everywhere; sparks were everywhere, dazzling and dazzling. It made people unable to see who was faster and who was slow in their first fight, and who had the upper hand.

"Swish!" After the battle, the two horses passed by. "General Gongming" breathed a little and subconsciously shook his slightly paralyzed arms. As soon as he relaxed a little, his eyes suddenly opened angrily, and a faint sound of arrows breaking through the air came from his ear. Then he saw a cold light coming from the corner of his eyes and attacking his side neck.

At this moment, "Gongming" had no time to react. He instinctively leaned his body and leaned on the horse's back, trying to avoid the vital points of his head and neck.

"Hmph!" With a gritted teeth and snorted coldly, the sudden hidden arrow penetrated into the shoulder blades of "Gongming" back. Although it did not pierce into the bones, it was tilted into the muscles of the shoulder muscles, several inches deep. In the pain, he gritted his teeth and screamed without pain. He leaned on the horse's back and turned his head to look in the direction of the arrow flying. Han Dang, who was following Huang Gai, sat upright on the horse's back, with one foot on his bow, and shot with one hand. At this moment, he was retracting his horn bow, holding his back, and running towards him with both maces.

Seeing Han Dang coming by Wu's two maces, "Gong Ming" was not afraid, because he discovered from the feather arrow inserted on his back that although Han Dang had a great strength, he was not as good as himself, so his skills were not enough to be afraid. What really made him feel palpitations and was afraid of Han Dang's amazing archery technique on his feet, which made him sweat in a cold sweat just after an arrow, almost losing his life. Perhaps it was because Han Dang's hastily shot, which caused the power of the hidden arrow to be limited, which then affected the speed, which gave him a chance to breathe and quickly dodge away the key points, so that the hidden arrow shot into the back, which was only broken through the flesh and was not fatal.

After barely avoiding the disaster, "Gongming" became fierce and rode his horse toward Han Dang. He swung the long-handled battle axe in his hand over his head, and the tiger was full of wind and slashed at Han Dang with great force. Han Dang did not know the power of the battle axe, and was forced to attack due to the length of the two maces. Instead, he failed to attack the scene by the "Gongming" and was first arrived first, and had to support his two maces to resist the battle axe.

"Clang!" With a loud bang, Han Dangru, who clamped the battle axe with both maces, was shocked by electric shock, his arms trembled, his hands shattered, and his mouth broke, and blood flowed like a stream. Then, two huge forces poured into his arms along the maces, instantly rushing into his chest cavity, directly impacting the internal organs; causing Han Dang's expression to change drastically, his cheeks flushed, and then his face was pale, and his blood rushed, and then his Adam's apple squirted out a mouthful of blood.

"The thief general looks at the knife!" Just as "Gongming" attempted to take advantage of the victory to kill Han Dang, Huang Gai returned to his horse and shouted loudly before he could get close to him, forcing "Gongming" to temporarily abandon Han Dang and wield his battle axe to fight Huang Gai.

Through the first match just now, "Gongming" knew that Huang Gai's strength was greater than others, and he could compete with him with force without any slightest slightest. However, Han Dang was half inferior to him, so he injured Han Dang in one match and his combat power was greatly reduced.

It should be noted that the technique of tomahawk is the first priority, and often uses force to defeat people and defeat the enemy with force. The second is momentum and fierce offensive, which gives the enemy a powerful shock and forces them to be timid before fighting. Finally, the technique of tomahawk is used, which requires flexibility and change, and lifting weights lightly, so that the power of the tomahawk can be maximized.

Tomahawks are typical heavy weapons. Anyone who uses tomahawks as weapons must be extremely powerful. Therefore, it is rare to see generals using tomahawks in the world. In the early years, there was a general who used tomahawks, named Pan Feng, who held a mountain-opening axe weighing more than 100 kilograms, but was knocked down by Hua Xiong within ten rounds. Apart from this person, few people used tomahawks as weapons.

It happened that after five years, the alliance of princes came again, and another general using battle axe appeared.

"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!"

Under the attack of Huang Gai and Han Dang, "Gong Ming" held a battle axe with one against two. The long-handled axe weighing nearly 100 pounds was as light as nothing in his hand, slashing left and right, as fierce as a tiger. He saw him swinging the battle axe with both arms and swinging it into a circle. The axe light flowed, and the shadow of the axe overlapped like a shield, which was tight and had no flaws, resulting in Huang Gai and Han Dang attacking left and right, but never taking any advantage. Han Dang, holding the two maces, could hardly get close to him, and had the ability to resist but no power to fight back. He could only play a role in hindrance, while Huang Gai was responsible for the main attack task of attacking "Gong Ming".

No wonder most of the military generals nowadays use long weapons, and the length of the weapons is far greater than the height, almost more than one meter, which can be called super long weapons.

Facts have proved that in the battle cavalry battle, long weapons undoubtedly have the advantage. When fighting, with the help of the sprinting power of war horses, the long weapons can still use inertia to wield the attack power to increase by several or even more than double the power on the original basis. In this way, the strength of the attack power can be imagined.

In comparison, short weapons have no advantage in cavalry battles, and there is almost no chance of close combat in the battle cavalry fighting. Therefore, many generals who use short weapons nowadays mostly have two-handed weapons, such as Dian Wei's pair of short halberds, the double maces in Han Dang's hand, and the male and female double-stranded swords used by Liu Bei.

At this moment, Han Dang's seven-foot double maces were undoubtedly a short loss for a short weapon. Facing the "Gong Ming" who rotated the battle axe like the wind, he could not get close to him at all. He could only wield his two maces to resist, but always approached him and gave him an effective counterattack.

As people came and went, "Gongming" did not lose any disadvantage in the slightest battle. After more than a dozen rounds, he was still brave and fierce. A long-handled axe danced so hard that Huang Gai and Han Dang could not form an effective attack effect. Twenty rounds, three people and three cavalry fought in groups, with sword light and axe shadows intertwined into pieces, and the sound of collision was loud. Mars flew everywhere, and fierce battles were in full swing. Although the number of people on both sides was different, the situation was still stalemate. Evenly, it was difficult to distinguish between the top and bottom in a short period of time.

Just as General Gongming and Huang Gai and Han Dang fought fiercely, four fast horses ran out of the Xiliang army formation under the city, snatching the blood-covered Wang Fang back to the formation.

Dongyuan City, on the south gate tower.

Li Li, who had been silent, narrowed his eyes and stared at the battle under the city, with a solemn expression and a calm face as water, without any turbulence. Even when Wang Fang was chopped down by Cheng Pu, the expression on his face did not change, as if everything was expected, as stable as a rock, and remained unmoved.

"Lord, General Wang Fang is afraid that he will not be able to do it anymore. His injuries are too serious. His entire chest on his right side has been digging open and he has been bleeding. Now he still has a breath and wants to see him, as if he has something to say." Guo Jia said softly on the left side next to Li Li.

"Well, carry him up." Li Li nodded slightly.

After hearing this, Guo Jia waved to Guo Meng, who immediately ran down the city tower.

After Guo Meng left, Guo Jia whispered to Li Li: "In the civil strife of Chang'an County, several months ago, General Wang Fang was wrong, but was not the mastermind, but was ordered to act and had to do it. However, he insulted General Tietuo in person and privately executed three army Simas and more than ten treasury chiefs. He did too much, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was bold and reckless. When he went to Central Plains, the lord transferred all the more than 20,000 county government soldiers stationed in Chang'an City to the front line. General Wang Fang was stationed in Dongyuan City, Hu Zhen and Yang Ding, two generals stationed in Anyi City, and their intention was to let them lose their merits. Now Wang Fang is seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence. His previous mistakes have been offset after this battle. I wonder what the lord wants?"

After hearing the sound, Li Li did not turn around and looked back, but still stared at the battle under the city. After a long silence, he murmured in a low voice: "Our soldiers are all strong and passionate men. They are the bravest soldiers on the battlefield. I am proud of having such soldiers. It's a pity that some of them always have the intention of speculative profits, catching wind and shadows, and lacking in greed, so that they took a wrong step, resulting in unforgivable consequences. They were not punished before, because I, Li Li, don't want them to die cowardly under the swordsman's knife and axeman. Even if they can't escape death, they will die on the battlefield and die as much as possible!"

"Bangbangbangbang!"

As Li Li finished speaking, a heavy footsteps came from behind him. Guo Meng and more than ten personal soldiers carried Wang Fang, who was seriously injured and wanted to die, to the city tower.

"Lord, lord, I know that my sins are so serious that I should not be willing to die. In today's battle, I will not seek to make a mistake, but only ask my lord to forgive my previous mistakes. I will know that I am wrong!" Wang Fang, who was lying on the wooden board, had his armor stained with blood, and the blood stains dripped on the ground along the wooden board. The moment he saw Li Li, a flush suddenly appeared on his pale cheeks, and his mouth was covered with blood and a cry of mistake.

This sentence may not be anything to others, but it is extremely important to Wang Fang. After being dismissed, the reason why he could hold on until now was to admit his mistake to his lord Li Li in person and ask for forgiveness.

A dying person is still repenting when he is dying and wants to ask others to forgive his mistakes. This is simply ridiculous and ridiculous in the eyes of later generations. After all, people are about to die, right and wrong are irrelevant. Once you finish it, why admit your mistake?

However, for a person who is truly responsible and sincerely regretful, it doesn’t matter if he dies himself, but what matters is his wife, children, and his reputation.

The geese leave a voice, and the people leave a name after passing by. This is by no means empty words, but something that everyone must experience, and it also brings a complete end to their lives. Why do you have to have children in your life? It is definitely not just for the purpose of raising old age and sending you to the end. But for the ability of your own blood to be passed on. Several years later, when others have forgotten that there was such a person, his children still remember that they will go to pay tribute during the holidays. This is the inheritance, the true value of life.

Li Li turned around and walked a few steps to the king who was being carried by his personal soldiers, nodded and said, "My demerits are worthy of your demerits. You are still the general under my command of Li Li, and you are worthy of being a man in Xiliang!"

"Cough, cough, cough! Thank you lord, I can no longer serve you, lord, lord, treasure, serious!" When Wang Fang finished speaking with great difficulty, a flush on his face quickly faded away, and then he slowly closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth filled with blood raised slightly, showing the last smile at the end of his life.

Watching Wang Fang die in front of him, Li Li's calm cheeks inexplicably showed sadness, and his deep eyes became blurred at this moment. He gently untied the dark red battle robe on his shoulder and covered Wang Fang. Then he looked up at the beams of the city tower and said in a low voice: "I ordered Li Xuanhou to bury General Wang Fang, posthumously named Wang Fang General Zhongyi, posthumously named Dongxiang Hou, and his wife, children and young people were supported by the General's Mansion. Go!"

"No!" Guo Meng knelt down and responded. Then he carried Wang Fang, who was wrapped in red robe with his personal soldiers, slowly downstairs.

"Lord, don't be sad. As a military general, it is glory to die on the battlefield, and he dies to the point of death. The lord did not blame him before. It was already a great kindness and kindness. Today, General Wang Fang died on the battlefield, which is enough to cleanse all the previous mistakes." Guo Jia walked to Li Li and comforted him softly.

Li Li nodded slightly, raised his hand to wipe away the wetness in the corners of his eyes, slowly walked to the city tower, shook his head in a low voice, "The wind and sand are too strong, blowing into his eyes. I haven't experienced this feeling for a long time, which makes you laugh."

After hearing this, no one responded. They bowed and bowed in emotion, and then wiped off the mist in their eyes.

Before this, the generals did not know the truth about the civil strife in Chang'an a few months ago. They only knew that after the news of the assassination of the lord Li Li in Yangzhou came back to Chang'an, there was a turmoil in the city, but it was declared to quell within two days. Subsequently, Hu Zhen, Yang Ding, Wang Fang and more than ten former generals of Xiliang were promoted and then transferred from the main battle camp and sent to various city gates as guards or deputy generals.

Until just now, the generals realized that many unknown things had happened in the days of civil strife in Chang'an, and many generals were involved. However, after the lord Li Li returned to Chang'an, he did not punish these generals, but instead assigned important tasks as usual, as if nothing had happened. However, it was precisely because Li Li did not punish the generals who committed the crime that they felt deeply uneasy and regretted, because some of them were deeply guilty and did not make up for the big mistakes they had made by correcting their mistakes.

Just like Wang Fang, who died in the battlefield at this moment, executed more than ten middle and low-level generals without authorization, and joined Hu Zhen, Yang Ding and others to enter Chang'an City without authorization, confronted Tietuo, the commander of the county government soldiers for two days, and killed and injured thousands of soldiers. This move seemed to be a rebellion of the superiors, and he was in violation of the law, and he should be executed according to the law, and even killed the three tribes of the whole family.

Now that Wang Fang is dead, the generals also learned the truth from Guo Jia, and only then did they know why Wang Fang is so abnormal today. At the same time, the lord Li Li's broad mind of repaying grievances with kindness made the generals empathize with it, and he increasingly felt that it was a great honor to meet such an open-minded lord in this life, and it was worth it no matter what the price it was.

After a while of silence, the sadness on Li Li's face gradually faded away, and he calmed down and looked down at the battle under the city.

Seeing that the generals in front of the formation were still able to fight Huang Gai after being caught in a hidden arrow, and Han Dang and the other generals were undefeated for more than 40 rounds, Li Li was secretly surprised, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. Then he turned his head to look at Teng Xiao and asked, "This general under the city has good martial arts skills, is calm and calm. He can still not fall for one or two, but he is actually the general. You must know that Huang Gai, Han Dang and both of them are not unknown. Many years ago, they followed Sun Jian to fight south and north, and their reputation is quite loud. It is no exaggeration to say that before this, Sun Ce's name was not as loud as Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and Zu Mao. Now, the general of our army can fight one or two with injuries. It is really not simple, which shows that his bravery is not inferior to the enemy general. Who is this? Why do I have no impression of him at all, as if I have never seen him before?"
