Chapter 984: The Man Who Assassinated Gao Ran
Gao Ran glanced nervously ahead, stretched out two fingers, and waved. Two of his own soldiers understood, and crouched through the grass in both directions, where there had been suspicious signs.
At this time, Gao Ran had already confirmed the news that the Ma family had indeed assembled an army of 400,000. However, with such important news, his subordinate Red Eagle Cavalry did not even send back half a cent of information, and what was even more damning was that the Red Eagle Cavalry that infiltrated under the rule of the Ma family lost contact on the same day. Such a situation made Gao Lian have to come to the front line in person and make contact with the Ma family's shadow troops.
However, he didn't know that just ten miles to him, more than a hundred men in black were also lying in the grass. One of them was in delicate shape, apparently a woman. At this time, she was holding a small telescope in her hand, secretly monitoring Gao Yan's every move.
And Mu Yuanfeng, who was beside him, watched the movement in front of him while untying the water bag on his waist and taking a sip of water. The cool water slid down his throat, making him shiver with pleasure. Mu Yuanfeng put down the water bag and shook it self-deprecatingly: Gao Lan's person is the most difficult opponent Mu Yuanfeng has encountered since he left the school. That man's martial arts are superb, and he is also very good at the art of war, and his Red Shadow Rider comes and goes like the wind. This time, he finally caught the opportunity of Gao Ran's personal dispatch, and he wanted to take down Gao Ran in one fell swoop, just like Ma Chao's order, so that Yuan Shao's entire army became blind who lost his eyes.
But it was a gap in this slight thought, and Mu Yuanfeng was suddenly touched by Tang Xiaomi: "Look, is that the person we sent?" ”
Mu Yuanfeng was stunned for a moment, then drove the binoculars, and saw that Gao Lan's two personal soldiers had returned, and they were also carrying one person with him. It didn't seem like he was caught and tied up, so Mu Yuanfeng shook his head: "No, none of us have a close Gao Ran mission, this time, it may have been an accident." ”
However, Gao Ran was even more surprised when he saw this person. The man was yellow-skinned, unkempt, wearing a thin and dirty robe, but clutching a roll of bamboo slips tightly in his hand. Before Gao Ran could take a closer look at this person, the guards around him spoke: "General, we caught a spy, he said that he was from our side and wanted to see you." ”
Gao Ran looked at him, but unfortunately the man's face was covered with dirt, and he couldn't see his face clearly. Thinking that his own soldiers had searched his body and could not hide any murder weapons on his body, he ordered him to be released: "Who are you?" ”
The man raised his head, looked at Gao Ran blankly, and handed his hand over: "I have been unknown since I was a child, but I have a handwritten letter for you." ”
"Whose handwriting?" Gao Ran asked with more and more doubts in his heart.
The anonymous replied: "Ma Chao Ma Mengqi, say that you will understand after reading the letter." ”
As soon as the name came out, Gao Ran's guards around him were shocked, and Gao Ran's expression became even more sarcastic and funny - Ma Chao did have a few encounters with him, and with the ability of the shadow, maybe he could really find his whereabouts. However, Gao Ran never thought that Ma Chao would write him any letters.
Yes, at this time, Gao Ran had already automatically thought that this person was the shadow of the Ma family: "I want to see what the hussar general has to say to me." After that, he grabbed one end of the bamboo slip and was about to take it, but suddenly found that something was wrong: one end of the bamboo slip was deliberately cut into sharp corners, and it was not easy to see when rolled together, and it became obvious as soon as it was spread out. Moreover, the wind paper is made by Ma Chao, if Ma Chao really has a letter to himself, he will definitely use a good wind paper, and it is impossible to use the bamboo slips that have been gradually eliminated in recent years!
And at this moment, the anonymous man who looked a little dazed, suddenly showed his edge, grabbed the flat side of the bamboo slip, and turned it hard, the bamboo slip turned into a sharp weapon, and then with a backhand wave, the throats of the two Gao Ran soldiers beside him were cut by the bamboo tip, and they fell to the ground with blood.
"It's a fight!" Seeing the sudden change in the situation here, Tang Xiaomi couldn't help but be a little excited, and couldn't help but say, "We can't get on?!" ”
"On what!" Mu Yuanfeng's face was pale at this time, and he said hatefully: "The lord's army has advanced and withdrawn, and all the traps we set up by this have been destroyed by that person, and they have not attracted Gao Ran to take the bait, so did they run over and shout and kill like bandits?" ”
"We are the shadow of the lord, and we will be hit by a blow, and we will be thousands of miles away. Fighting with a gun and a stick is not our Shadow style, and it will not succeed at all. Adding again, Mu Yuanfeng was also a little helpless about such sudden changes, and said, "Wait and see!" ”
After killing the two pro-soldiers, Anonymous grabbed the bamboo slip and pounced on Gao Ran. Gao Ran had an iron face and couldn't see his expression, but from his timely retreat, it could be seen that he was also slightly shocked in his heart, although he barely avoided the bamboo tip, but his throat was still cut shallowly: "It's you, Zhang Can!" I was disfigured by you, but you still don't let me go! ”
"You are obsessed with power, but I have to be worthy of the village fathers. More than 2,000 people are alive, but you still live for seven more years, and you are already eyeless! As soon as Zhang Can hit it, he rushed forward with all his might, but after the cold light flashed, he couldn't help but avoid the edge.
Gao Ran has always kept his knife on his body, and when he was suddenly attacked, he immediately drew out his knife and slashed hard. Zhang Can had to use bamboo slips to block, but as a result, two pieces of bamboo slips were cut off as soon as he made a move. And just in the plan of turning over, Zhang Can also used the scattered bamboo slips as a hidden weapon and threw them at Gao Ran.
The two of them fought each other in an instant, Zhang Can's attack was fierce, but Gao Ran took advantage of the blade and fought equally. The soldiers around heard the wind and gathered one after another. Seeing that he couldn't hurt Gao Ran anymore, Zhang Can threw the bamboo slip in his face, then twisted his waist and retreated backwards.
Gao Ran's Red Eagle Riders were all well-trained, and when the two fought before, they didn't dare to come up and stir up. But at this time, it immediately dispersed into a semi-circle and headed towards Zhang Canwei. Zhang Can ran out a hundred steps, and saw that Gao Ran was still reluctant to pursue. Leaned over and pulled out a sword from the grass. With a sword in his hand, his danger suddenly increased several times, and I saw a cold flash flashing, and several soldiers who chased out first fell to the ground screaming, and the wounds were all in the throat without exception. The attack was extremely ruthless and sharp, and more than a dozen soldiers who arrived later surrounded Zhang Can, but they couldn't help this desperate madman for a while.
At this time, Gao Ran rushed to the front, and the hideous iron face couldn't see the expression on his face, but the voice surprised his subordinates: "Bow and crossbow step forward and shoot that spy!" ”
The Red Eagle Rider was slightly stunned when he heard this, but quickly set up his bow and crossbow. The steel nails and arrows that shimmered with a faint green and cold light seeped through the night like ghostly fire, apparently soaked in tiger medicine. Gao Ran's reaction was very strange, perhaps because he didn't want to see Zhang Can being shot into a sieve, and turned around.
However, at this moment, a sharp arrow pierced the air and shot sharply into the back of Gao Kan's head. Gao Ran seemed to be a little distracted, but his vigilance over the years still made him react in an instant, rolling to the right suddenly, and the arrow shot into his right arm when it landed, but there was no fear for his life.
The sudden change made the Red Eagle Rider a little surprised for a while, but then they heard a low shout from someone in front of them: "Women are not enough and conspiracy!" ”
The next moment, a hundred black-clothed people suddenly appeared in front of him, and before the Red Eagle Rider could react, a hundred steel-nailed crossbow arrows came in an instant. Those Red Eagle Riders who were originally going to shoot Zhang Can fell to the ground one after another, and almost at the same moment, the Red Eagle Riders drank a name out of their mouths: "Ma Family Shadow!" ”
Gao Ran endured the severe pain, looked at the front and looked at the same surprise, and suddenly seemed to understand something. However, the changes are always dizzying, Gao Ran's face changed suddenly, his head turned sharply to the man, and he saw the torches in the distance like dragons, flags fluttering, and the sound of horses' hooves in a staggered but grand manner then shattered the sound of chaos in this place.
That's the main battle unit of the Ma Army!
Glancing at Zhang Can with a complex look of hatred and gratefulness, Gao Ran gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Withdraw, evacuate quickly!" ”
