Chapter 92: Fighting Han Sui, Don't Come Unharmed (8)
"Uncle, slow down!"
Just as Han Sui was about to lead the army to rush and kill, Ma Chao, who had been seriously injured by Li Li before, stopped in front of Han Sui and hurriedly dissuaded.
"Humph! Meng Qi, why did you stop me from fighting? Could it be that you have an old relationship with Li Li'er, and you have the intention to harm me? ”
Han Sui was furious at this time, and he only thought about defeating the arrogant Li Li thief, so no one gave face. Even Ma Chao, the eldest son of Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng, he reprimanded in public without any scruples.
Ma Chao was so reprimanded by Han Sui that he was so reckless, and a trace of hideous color flashed on his handsome face in an instant.
"Since I've grown up so much, who dares to talk to me like this?"
In an instant, Ma Chao felt that he had been humiliated by Han Sui, and anger suddenly rose in his heart.
But he still held back this evil breath after all, because the hatred for Li Li in his heart was far greater than that of Han Sui.
Taking a deep breath, Ma Chao tried his best to calm the anger in his heart, and said patiently to Han Sui: "Uncle, the three battles just now were all defeats of our coalition army, and the morale of our army was frustrated one after another. At this time, if we forcibly charge and kill the enemy's military formation, even if we defeat Li Li'er, I am afraid that our army's casualties will be extremely heavy, and the gains will outweigh the losses. Therefore, the little nephew suggested that the truce should be suspended today, and that he would regroup tomorrow and destroy Li Li's thief army in one fell swoop! ”
As he spoke, Ma Chao saw that the anger on Han Sui's face had eased a lot, so he continued: "Uncle, don't worry, with the 60,000 horses of our coalition army, it will be a matter of time before we kill Li Li's thief, and it can be said that victory is in hand." Even if the thief has the dangerous pass of the Black Dragon Ridge, our army can break through the pass in one fell swoop, enter the hinterland of Wuwei County, and wipe out the remnants of the thief in one fell swoop! ”
"Well, what Meng Qi said also has some truth. It's just that Li Li'er has won three battles in a row, should I just withdraw my troops and return to the camp? Doesn't this make Li Li'er laugh at the fact that I have no general in the coalition army, and if it spreads in the future, won't the old man lose face? Han Sui said unwillingly.
"This ・・・・・・, does my uncle still want to send generals to challenge in front of the battle?" Ma Chao was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.
Han Sui smiled when he heard this, and looked at Ma Chao with a smile, "Meng Qi, I have long heard that you are excellent in martial arts, and there are few opponents among the tens of thousands of Ma family troops. Don't you want to compete with that Li Li child, this kind of opportunity to make a name for yourself is rare, wouldn't it be a pity to miss it?
That's it, Meng Qi, and you'll challenge it later. If he can win the battle, then the old man will lead the army to attack and kill it, and break through the Black Dragon Ridge in one fell swoop. If you can't do it, then ・・・・・・ truce today, and fight Li Li'er tomorrow!" ”
"Ahh Uncle, this ・・・・・・" Ma Chao was stunned by Han Sui's words, and screamed in surprise, unable to speak.
Han Sui frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter, Meng Qi, don't you dare to fight?" ”
Ma Chao's heart was thrilled when he heard this, and he immediately replied, "No, my uncle misunderstood." How could the little nephew be afraid of Li Li's thief, such a great opportunity to become famous, but it is impossible to find it, and the little nephew is just happy in his heart. Well, it's delight. The little nephew will return to the army to prepare for a while, and then he will go out to challenge! ”
"That's good, the tiger father has no dogs! Your father was brave and brave when he was young, but he didn't expect Meng Qiqing to be better than the blue, and he had no less martial arts than his father at a young age. Brother Shoucheng has a son like this, what a blessing! Hehehe! ”
Han Sui stroked his beard and said to Ma Chao with a smile.
"Uncle has won the award, and the little nephew is ashamed. The uncle waited for a while, and when the little nephew returned to the battle, he brought his weapons and went out to challenge. ”
Ma Chao now hated Han Sui so much, but he couldn't get angry, so he dealt with Han Sui with a few words of hypocrisy, and immediately beat Ma back to the battle.
Han Sui watched Ma Chao leave, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he muttered softly: "This son is so arrogant at a young age, even if he is excellent in martial arts, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do anything in the future." Tiger father without dogs? Hmph, according to the old man, I'm afraid that the dog father gave birth to a dog!
Ma Teng is conceited and smart, but in fact he is a snake and a rat, opportunistic. Before, he stupidly led Ma Jiajun to follow Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other gentlemen to crusade against Dong Taishi, trying to get rid of Dong Zhuo by the hands of the allies, so as to wait for an opportunity to annex Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Shili. What was the result, the princes of the Eighteenth Route defeated Dong Zhuo, but they drove Dong Zhuo to Chang'an and choked Ma Teng's neck at once!
Stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice. Now that Dong Zhuo dominates Jingzhao, Ma Teng has no choice but to bow down obediently. Now dealing with a junior of the Li family, he Ma Teng doesn't dare to come forward in person, and send the teenage Huangkou child here to exterminate Li Li's thief, which is really ridiculous! ”
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
Li Lijun in front of the formation.
Li Xuan was beside Li Li and whispered to the slave's injury.
"Lord, the slave in Han Sui's mouth is very seriously injured, and his whole body is full of arrows. The only thing to be thankful for was that these arrows did not hit his head and heart, and in addition, the ordinary arrows that the lord had just temporarily changed to did not use the Qin Bow Giant Arrow; Otherwise, he will die.
In addition, the slave was wearing a bearskin with tough leather, and he had an iron chain to resist arrows, so he could still breathe at the moment, which could be regarded as saving his life. It's just that he should have been hungry for a long time before, coupled with eating raw flesh and blood, so that he was skinny and had died early. Now the lord of the mansion is kind-hearted, and if he wants to save him, I am afraid that he will need to be carefully recuperated for at least three months before he can return to the level of a normal person. ”
"Oh? Long-term hunger, skinny, early death? Yuan Zhong, what's going on? Thinking that Han Sui has occupied Jincheng for many years, is there still a lack of slaves to eat? Li Li looked stunned and asked in confusion.
Li Xuan smiled when he heard this, and then said with a heavy face: "The lord must have misunderstood. Does the lord think that the slave is Han Sui's general? No, the lord didn't see the appearance of the slave in person, as long as the lord took a look at it in person, he would know who the slave was next to Han Sui.
The reason why the slave was shot by dozens of arrows this time and did not die was because the living environment he was in before made him and gave him a chance to live; Otherwise, he will not escape death.
The slave's whole body was extremely rough, and now in the early autumn season, he was wearing a thick bear skin, and his hands and feet were full of thick calluses, which could not be cut by ordinary blades. Especially one of his feet, the plates and instep of the feet, as well as the ankles, were full of calluses more than an inch thick, and those big feet could not be cut even if they were stepped on the blade, and they were tougher than the claws of wild beasts.
The most shocking thing is that the slave also has an inch-thick callus on his wrists and ankles. On the ankles, it is likely that they had been wearing shackles for several years, and the shackles were very heavy. And the chains on his wrists had been worn for a longer time, at least seven or eight years, and the buckles had sunk deep into his flesh and bones; Except for chopping off his hands, the chains could not be removed at all.
A vicious person like Han Sui's old thief is unheard of by his subordinates, but today he has opened his eyes and seen that there are people with ugly hearts in the world. Judging from the situation of the slaves, the slaves should not have slept on the couch, but were kept with livestock and war horses all the year round, and their whole bodies were sloppy. And the slave was emaciated and hungry for a long time, and someone deliberately tied him up and deprived him of food, so that he was hungry with raw horse blood, and this situation should have lasted for several years. ”
Li Li listened to Li Xuan's words, his face was full of iron, and his eyes were gloomy and cold.
After a while, he sighed and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Zhong, temporarily send someone to send the slave back to Dazhai to treat his injuries, and after this battle is over, let him live in the county guard's mansion, and watch him personally by evil, as long as he doesn't hurt people at will, don't restrain him too much." This is a truly pitiful person, but also a person who is really capable. As long as he can survive this catastrophe of life and death and recover his health again, he will become a great weapon in the future! ”
As soon as Li Li's words fell, he looked up and saw two more generals in the Han Sui army formation on the opposite side to challenge.
Suddenly, the corners of Li Li's mouth curled, and a strange smile appeared.
"Hehehe! Yuan Zhong, the general of the white horse and silver armor who came out to challenge this time was Ma Chao, the eldest son of the former Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng. This guy is really haunted, fighting me everywhere, and his injuries are getting better very quickly. Last time in Maple Leaf Canyon, he led 20,000 Pegasus thieves to attack our army camp at night, and I slashed him fiercely, almost hacking him to death. Unexpectedly, a month before and after, he would lead the army to crusade against me again. ”
Li Xuan was slightly stunned, looked at Ma Chao who was riding out of the battle with interest, and said, "Oh? He is Ma Chao! The lesson last time was not enough, and this time he dared to send troops to come, and it seems that his resentment against the lord is very deep, and it is almost irreconcilable.
According to his subordinates, Ma Teng led his army to Chenliu Huimeng last year and fought against Dong Taishi together with the princes' coalition army. Therefore, the Ma family's current situation is very difficult, and they are almost cautious everywhere, and they dare not act recklessly. However, it is said that the strength of the Ma family army is not weak, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and because of this, Dong Taishi has not made a move against the Ma family for a long time; Otherwise, the Ma family would have perished long ago. ”
Li Li replied with a smile: "Hehehe! Yuan Zhong's words are good. Ma Teng is also unprofitable, but he is unlucky, not only did he not get any benefits from the last meeting, but he caused a commotion, and now he has to shrink up in order to protect himself. Okay, Yuan Zhong will pay attention to the changes of Han Sui's army at any time, and I will meet this defeated general when I go! Drive! ”
"Excuse me!"
Li Li, who galloped to the front of the formation, stopped his horse, and the yellow horse neighed.
"Horses, don't come unharmed? I didn't kill you with a knife before, but I didn't expect you to come to death so quickly, it's really commendable! ”
Ma Chao in front of the Prancing Horse Formation, when he saw Li Li at first glance, new hatred and old hatred came to his mind.
Suddenly, his eyes were furious as if they were about to breathe fire, and a flush instantly appeared on Jun's face.
"Little thief Lili, what do you call me?"
