The moment the war knife in his hand was shaken open by the enemy general, Cheng Pu's face changed greatly, the right hand holding the knife suddenly cracked, the entire right arm was paralyzed, and the war knife almost flew out of his hand. When he endured the severe pain in his palm and held the handle of the knife, he saw a long-pole and big axe slashing diagonally, trying to kill him with an axe.

In the flash of light, Cheng Pu could no longer care about killing Wang Fang, who was lying on the ground and did not know whether he was alive or dead, his left hand covered the wound on the outside of his left abdomen, and his right hand waved a knife to resist. At the same time, he clamped his legs around the horse's belly and drove the horse to run wildly, trying to escape back to his own position.

"Bell!"

With a loud bang, the battle knife in Cheng Pu's hand was shaken away by the huge force, and he made an instant decision at the moment when the huge force came, and let go in time. Immediately, when the sword was blown away by the enemy's axe, he lay on his horse's back and kicked the horse and galloped, and fled straight to his own phalanx.

"The thief will be so shameless, he dares to sneak attack in front of the battle, undeclare war, and wait for a certain Huang Gai to take the head of Erxiang!"

At the same time that Cheng Pu narrowly dropped his war knife and fled for his life, two war horses rushed out in front of Sun Ce's army, one of them moved a little faster, leading the battle horse out of the battle, and shouted loudly. This person is Sun Ce's general Huang Gai Huang Gongfu, and the person who followed him was Han Dang, a general who was good at making double moves.

Obviously, as old brothers who have lived and died together for many years, seeing that Cheng Pu is in danger, Huang Gai and Han Dang will naturally not die without help. On the contrary, when they saw a fast horse rushing out of the Xiliang army to rescue Wang Fang, they immediately hit the horse to rescue him, for fear that Cheng Pu would make a mistake. It's just that the two of them were a little far away from the front of the battle, and they were slowed down for a while, and they were grabbed by the Xiliang generals, not only saving the king from Cheng Pu's hands, but instead shaking down the weapons in Cheng Pu's hands, forcing Cheng Pu to flee in a hurry.

The Xiliang general who shook down Cheng Pu's sword was the deputy general of Dongyuan City and the captain of the military academy "Gongming", and he was ordered to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to sweep the battle for the king who challenged in front of the battle. At the same time, it shoulders the heavy burden of protecting the safety of the king. Therefore, when Wang Fang was carelessly slashed by Cheng Pu, he immediately hit his horse and rushed to rescue Wang Fang. It's a pity that he came one step too late after all, Wang Fang has been poisoned by Cheng Pu, although he has not yet swallowed his breath, but he has no skills to return to the sky, and his life is not long.

Seeing that Wang Fang was seriously injured so far, "General Gongming" blamed himself and immediately wanted to kill Cheng Pu to avenge Wang Fang. At the same time, it is also a matter of making up for the fault. Unexpectedly, Cheng Pu was cunning and cunning, and after losing a blow, he shook a knife, and then abandoned the sword, turned his head and fled.

"Bang Bang!"

In the pursuit of the axe, he met Huang Gai who was galloping. And then a big fight. I saw a long-handled battle axe about one and five feet long collide with the five battle knives in Huang Gai's hand, sweeping and slashing. Instant successive shots. Hard-to-face attack, not giving in to each other. Suddenly, the sound of the collision was loud, and the sound shook in all directions; The sparks were full of sparks, brilliant and dazzling, making it difficult to see who was fast and who was slow in their first hand. Who has the upper hand?

"Whew!" As soon as the battle ended, the two horses staggered by, and the "Komeito General" breathed a sigh of relief. Subconsciously shook his slightly paralyzed arms a few times. Just as he was relaxing his mind a little, his eyes suddenly opened angrily, and there was an imperceptible sound of arrows breaking through the air in his ears, and then out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a cold light coming straight to his neck.

At this moment, "Komeito" didn't have time to react at all, and instinctively leaned on his side, lying on the horse's back, trying to avoid the vital point of his head and neck.

"Humph!" With a gritted tooth and a cold snort, the sudden dark arrow sank into the shoulder blade of "Gongming's" back, and although it did not pierce into the bone, it was obliquely inserted into the shoulder blade muscle, several inches deep. Under the pain, he clenched his teeth and didn't scream in pain, he lay on the horseback and turned his head to look in the direction where the dark arrow was flying, only to see Han Dang, who was following Huang Gai in battle, sitting on the horseback, with one foot open the bow, with one hand with the arrow, with the bow galloping, at this moment is retracting the horn bow, bearing it on the back, holding a double hammer to run towards him.

Seeing Han Dang being killed by the double dance, "Gongming" was not afraid, because he found out from the feather arrow inserted in his back that although Han Dang was quite powerful, he was quite inferior to himself, so his skills were not afraid. And what really made him feel palpitations and fear was Han Dang's amazing archery skills with a bow and crossbow, just under an arrow, he was shocked into a cold sweat and almost lost his life. Perhaps it was because Han Dang shot in a hurry, which caused the power of the dark arrow to be limited, which then affected the speed, so he gave him a chance to breathe and quickly dodge to avoid the vital point, so that the dark arrow hit the back, only breaking the flesh and skin, and it was not fatal.

After escaping the catastrophe, "Gongming" was ferocious, rode his horse and rushed towards Han Dang, the long-handled battle axe in his hand slashed over his head, and the tiger was full of wind, and he slashed towards Han Dang with great strength. And Han Dang didn't know the power of the tomahawk, and was forced by the length of the double mace, not only failed to succeed in the sneak attack, but was the first to be attacked by the "Gongming", and had to hold up the double mace to resist the tomahawk.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, Han Dangru, who was holding the battle axe with his two maces, was shocked by electricity, his arms trembled again and again, his hands cracked, and his blood flowed like an infusion. Immediately, two huge forces poured into the arms along the double gong, instantly rushed into the chest cavity, and directly impacted the viscera; caused Han Dang's expression to change greatly, his cheeks were red, and then his face turned pale, and his blood and qi surged, and then his throat fluttered and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"The thief will look at the knife!" At the moment when "Gongming" tried to take advantage of the victory to kill Han Dang, Huang Gai returned to his horse and caught up, and shouted loudly before he got close, forcing "Gongming" to temporarily abandon Han Dang and wield a battle axe to face Huang Gai.

Tong Guò just played the first battle, and "Gongming" knew that Huang Gaili was better than others, and he could compete with himself without being inferior. Compared with Han Dang, he is half inferior, because he shocked Han Dang as soon as he joined him, and his combat power was greatly reduced.

It is necessary to know the tomahawk technique, the first power, often to overwhelm people with force, to break the enemy with force. The second is momentum, the offensive is fierce, giving the enemy a strong deterrent and forcing him to be timid before fighting. Finally, it is the technique of using the tomahawk, which requires flexibility and lightness, so that the power of the tomahawk can be brought into full play.

The tomahawk is a typical heavy weapon, but anyone who uses the tomahawk as a weapon must be a person with extraordinary strength. Therefore, there are not many generals who use tomahawks in the world, and in the early years, there was a military general who used tomahawks, named Pan Feng, who held a mountain axe weighing more than 100 catties, but was cut off by Huaxiong within ten he. Aside from this man, few people use tomahawks as weapons.

Coincidentally, after a lapse of five years, the princes met again, and another military general with a battle axe appeared.

"Bell, bell!"

Under the attack of Huang Gai and Han Dang, "Gongming" held a battle axe against one enemy and two enemies, and the long-handled axe weighing nearly 100 catties was as light as nothing in his hands. Slashing left and right, fierce as a tiger. I saw him wielding a battle axe with both arms, slashing into a full circle, the axe light flowed, and the axe shadow overlapped like a shield, impenetrable and without any flaws, causing Huang Gai and Han Dang to attack left and right, but they never took advantage of the slightest advantage. And Han Dang, who was holding a double mace, could hardly get close, and he had the ability to parry but had no power to fight back. can only play a role in containing zuò, and Huang Gai is responsible for the main attack with the "Komeito".

It is no wonder that most of today's generals use long weapons, and the length of weapons far exceeds their height, almost all of them are more than one zhang, which can be called super long weapons.

It turns out. In the battle cavalry vs. rush kill, the long weapon undoubtedly has the advantage. When fighting. With the power of the warhorse sprint. After the long weapon is wielded, it can also use inertia to make the attack power increase by several percent or even more than double the powerful power on the original basis, so the strength of the attack power can be imagined.

In contrast, short weapons have no advantage in cavalry combat, and there are few opportunities for hand-to-hand combat in cavalry combat. Therefore, many generals who use short weapons nowadays are mostly two-handed weapons. For example, Dian Wei's pair of short halberds, the double gong in Han Dang's hand, and the male and female double-strand swords used by Liu Bei.

At this moment, the seven-foot double hammer in Han Dang's hand was undoubtedly a loss of short weapons. In the face of "Komei", who spun his tomahawk like the wind, he could not get close at all. He can only swing his double wedge to resist, but he is always close to give an effective counterattack.

After more than a dozen rounds, he was still brave and fierce, and a long-handled axe danced vigorously, causing Huang Gai and Han Dang to be unable to form an effective pinch effect. Twenty rounds later, the three of them fought in a group, the swords, lights and axes were intertwined, the sound of collision was loud, sparks were splashed, and a fierce battle was in full swing. So far, although there is a difference in the number of people between the two sides, the battle situation is stalemate, evenly matched, and it is difficult to distinguish in a short period of time.

Just when the "Gongming" general fought fiercely with Huang Gai and Han Dang, four fast horses rushed out of the Xiliang army under the city and snatched the bloodied Wang Fang back to his own position.

Dongyuan Castle, on the upper floor of the South Gate Castle.

Li Li, who had been silent, stared at the battle under the city with slightly squinted eyes, his expression was solemn, his face was as calm as water, and there were no waves. Even when Wang Fang was cut off by Cheng Pu, the look on his face did not change, as if everything was expected, steady as a rock, and he did not move.

"My lord, I'm afraid General Wang Fang won't be able to do it, his injuries are too serious, his entire right chest has been cut open, and the blood is not stopping. Now he still has a breath, he wants to see the lord, as if he has something to say. On the left side of Li Li's side, Guo Jia said softly.

"Well, bring him up." Li Li bowed slightly.

After Guo Jia heard this, he waved his hand to Guo Meng, and the latter immediately ran down the city tower.

After Guo Meng left, Guo Jia whispered to Li Li: "In the civil strife of the soldiers of Chang'an County a few months ago, although General Wang Fang was at fault, he was not the mastermind, but acted on orders and had to do it as a last resort. However, he insulted General Tietuo to his face, and privately executed three military commanders and more than a dozen tun commanders, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was bold and reckless. This time on the expedition to the Central Plains, the lord transferred all the more than 20,000 county soldiers stationed in Chang'an City to the front line, General Wang Fang was stationed in Dongyuan City, and Hu Zhen and Yang Ding were stationed in Anyi City, which was intended to make them confess. Now the king is seeking benevolence and benevolence, and the previous mistakes are offset by the merits and demerits after this battle. I don't know what happens under the Lord's will? ”

After Li Li heard the sound, he didn't turn around, still staring at the battle under the city, and after being silent for a long time, he muttered in a low voice: "The soldiers of our army are all iron-clad hot-blooded men, and they are the bravest soldiers on the battlefield, and I am proud to have such soldiers." It's a pity that some of them always have the idea of speculating for profit, chasing after the wind, and not being greedy enough, so that one wrong step leads to unforgivable consequences. I didn't punish them before, that's because I Li Li didn't want them to die under the knife and axe hand, even if the death penalty was inevitable, they would die on the battlefield and die as they deserved! ”

"Tom tom!"

When Li Li's voice fell, there was a heavy footstep behind him, and Guo Meng and more than a dozen personal soldiers carried Wang Fang, who was seriously injured and wanted to die, up to the city tower.

"Lord、、、 lord, the last general knows that he is guilty of great sins, and it is not a pity to die. In today's battle, the last general does not ask for merit and sin, but only asks the lord to forgive me for my previous mistakes. The last general 、、、 know that he was wrong! Wang Fang, who was lying on the wooden plank, had his battle armor stained red with blood, and blood stains dripped down the wooden board to the ground. The moment he saw Li Li, a flush suddenly appeared on his pale cheeks, and his mouth was full of blood and he sobbed to admit his mistake.

This sentence may not be a big deal to others. But for Wang Fang, it is extremely important. After falling off the horse, the reason why he was able to hold on until now was to admit his mistakes to his lord Li Li in person and ask for forgiveness.

It is ridiculous in the eyes of posterity that a dying person is still repenting at the time of his death and wants to ask others to forgive him for his mistakes. After all, people are going to die, right and wrong don't matter anymore, once it's over, why admit it?

However, for a truly responsible, truly repentant person. It doesn't matter if he dies, what matters is that he still has his wife, children, and his reputation.

The geese have left a voice, and the people have left a name. This is by no means an empty word, but something that everyone must go through to draw a complete end to their own life. Life. Why have children? It is definitely not just for the sake of retirement and death, but for the inheritance of one's own bloodline. A few years later. When others have forgotten that there was such a person. His children still remember that they would go to pay their respects during the New Year's holidays. This is where inheritance, the true value of life, lies.

Li Li turned around when he heard the sound, walked a few steps to the front of the king who was being carried by his own soldiers, nodded and said, "The merits and demerits are offset, you are still the general under my Li Li." He is worthy of being a Xiliang man! ”

"Cough, cough, cough! Thank you to the lord, the end will no longer be able to serve the lord, the lord, the lord, the cherished, the heavy! When Wang Fang finished speaking with great difficulty, the flush on his face quickly faded. Then he slowly closed his eyes, and the corners of his blood-soaked mouth curled slightly, showing the last smile at the end of his life.

Seeing Wang Fang die in front of him, Li Li's calm cheeks inexplicably showed sadness, and his deep eyes became blurred at this moment. I saw that he gently untied the dark red robe on his shoulders and covered Wang Fang's body, and then looked up at the beams of the city tower, and said in a low voice: "Order Li Xuanhou to bury General Wang Fang, posthumously crown Wang Fang as a loyal general, nicknamed Dongxiang Marquis, and his wife and children are supported by the Great General's Mansion." Go ahead! ”

"No!" Guo Meng knelt down in response, and then slowly went downstairs with Wang Fang, who was wrapped in a red robe, with his own soldiers.

"Don't be sad, as a general, it is glory to die on the battlefield, and you should die well. Previously, the lord did not ask him for the blame, which was a great favor and kindness, and today's death of General Wang Fang on the battlefield is enough to wash away the previous mistakes. Guo Jia walked lightly to Li Li's side and comforted him softly.

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

When the generals heard this, no one answered, and they all bowed down with emotion, and then turned their backs to wipe the mist from their eyes.

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

Until just now, the generals knew that many unknown things had happened in the past few days of civil strife in Chang'an, and many generals were involved. However, after returning to Chang'an, the lord Li Li did not punish these generals, but entrusted them with important tasks as always, 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 regretful, because some of them were deeply responsible and could not make up for the great mistakes they had made by correcting their mistakes.

Just like Wang Fang, who died on the battlefield at this moment, executed more than ten middle and low-level generals without authorization, and entered Chang'an City without authorization with Hu Zhen, Yang Ding and others, and confronted Tietuo, the commander of the county army, for two days, during which thousands of soldiers were killed and wounded. This move seems to be a rebellion, a plot to misbehave, according to the law, and even punish the three clans.

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

After a long silence, the sadness on Li Li's face gradually faded, and he calmly looked down at the battle under the city.

Seeing that the general of his own side in front of the battle could still fight with Huang Gai and Han Dang for more than 40 rounds without being defeated after the secret arrow in his body, Li Li was secretly surprised, and a trace of appreciation crossed his eyes. Then he turned his head to look at Teng Xiao and asked: "This general under the city has good martial arts, is calm and calm, and can not fall behind with one enemy and two enemies, which is really the posture of a general." You must know that Huang Gai and Han Dang are not unknowns, they followed Sun Jian to fight in the south and north many years ago, and their names are 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 this general of our army can be wounded with one enemy and two, which is really not simple, which shows that his bravery is not inferior to that of the enemy general. Who is this, and why don't I have any impression of him, as if I had never met him before? ”
