when!
clang!
clang!
Two horses galloping together.
Gao Biaoren and Wang Shiji each had their own skills, and the fight lasted for more than 20 rounds, with no winner or loser.
This Gao Biaoren's marksmanship is magical, his exercises are exquisite, and his whole body is covered with no leakage.
Wang Shiji's Fangtian painted halberd made him angry, but he couldn't attack with the spear.
When the fight reaches thirty rounds.
Gao Biaoren suddenly showed his weakness and shouted: "Hit me!" Wang Shiji was caught off guard and was shot in the left leg.
He was horrified and did not dare to fight anymore. He just wanted to make a feint. Break out and go outside.
unexpectedly.
Gao Biaoren was so eager to kill, how could he let this enemy go so easily?
present.
He roared like a tiger, raised up his majesty, and used his spear skills like a sudden rain and wind. Suddenly, he stabbed Wang Shiji diagonally in the left ribs, knocking him off his horse and killing him.
Let’s talk about Uncle Ma.
He finally broke through the siege and saw Wang Shiji being killed by Gao Biaoren. He couldn't help but be frightened and fled outside without his life.
And just then.
Sima Chao led his cavalry and came to attack with a sword in one hand. He intercepted Ma Shumou and another fierce battle ensued.
How could Shumou Ma have any fighting spirit at this time?
He could only fight and flee, losing countless soldiers and horses, and then escaped back to Han Qinhu's camp.
Entering the tent dejectedly.
Ma Shumou knelt down to apologize to Han Qinhu.
Snapped!
After meeting Ma Shumou.
Han Qinhu's face was ashen.
He slapped the table with a heavy palm and shouted loudly: "Uncle Ma! Fortunately, you are a veteran general in the army. Don't you know the war and never tire of deceit? He used his injured arm to gain your entry into the city. Look at such crude tactics. Won’t you come out?”
Ma Shumou lowered his head and replied: "Marshal Rongzhen, the general was indeed blinded by his sharpness at that time, so he didn't notice it. Please ask Marshal..."
"That's all!"
Before Ma Shumou could finish speaking.
Han Qinhu waved his hand and said coldly: "As a vanguard, I lost countless soldiers and horses, and even watched my fellow generals die without saving them. Such actions have already violated the taboos of military law! You and I! You and me, Push him out of the camp gate and behead him in public display!"
He just finished speaking.
Several wolf-like soldiers around him swarmed forward, pushed Ma Shumou to the ground, and were about to push him out of the Chinese military tent.
"Wait!"
At this moment.
Wang Ke stood up, raised his fists and saluted Han Qinhu, and said.
"What do you have to say, Marquis Dingbei?"
Han Qinhu looked at Wang Ke and asked.
Wang Ke raised his hands and said to Han Qinhu: "Marshal, that Sima Chao was stabbed by General Mo yesterday, and this news was also informed by General Ma Shumou. According to military law, General Ma is also guilty of lying about military information! "
"Hey! What are you saying, Marquis Dingbei? You were not at fault in this matter. It was mainly because Uncle Ma conspired to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly that led to the defeat!"
Han Qinhu shook his head and said to Wang Ke.
Wang Ke said: "Old Marshal, please listen to what the last general has to say... This victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. Now that the enemy's general has not arrived, we have killed the general. I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the army... Why don't we let General Ma take the blame and perform meritorious service? When Wu Yunzhao's rebellion is put down, the marshal will decide whether to reward or punish him. I wonder what he will do next?"
"Since Marquis Dingbei pleads for mercy, let me spare your life!"
After listening to Wang Ke's words.
Han Qinhu stroked his beard and pondered for a moment.
finally.
He waved his hand, asking the soldiers to let go of Ma Shumou, and said at the same time.
"Thank you Marshal for not killing me! Thank you Marquis Dingbei for saving my life!"
Ma Shumou was pardoned by Han Qinhu, so he was naturally overjoyed and immediately kowtowed to the two of them.
"Don't talk too much! I spared your life because I wanted you to be loyal to the country and to sacrifice your merits. Did you ever understand that?"
Han Qinhu stared at Ma Shumou and said coldly.
"Yes, yes! I will finally understand!"
Ma Shumou nodded like a fool, and kept agreeing.
"Okay! Gather your troops and horses, rest for a few days, and wait until Wu Yun is summoned to Qilin Pass before starting the expedition again!"
Han Qinhu nodded slightly and waved his hand gently, asking Ma Shumou to retreat.
At this moment.
The stone in Ma Shumou's heart fell to the ground.
He quickly bowed and bowed, and exited the central military tent.
Watching the man's back as he walked away.
Han Qinhu and Wang Ke looked at each other with inexplicable smiles.
…
Since that day.
The Sui army of Han Qinhu and the Nanyang army of Sima Chao and Gao Biaoren began to confront each other.
The two armies had a tacit understanding and never fought, as if they were waiting for a certain opportunity.
soon.
The time has come.
"The last general, Wu Bao, has seen Shangzhu Kingdom!"
this day.
From Qilin Pass, a messenger came.
"I have seen you before at Prince Zhongxiao's Mansion. Why are you here today?"
Han Qinhu looked at Wu Bao, a stout man with two hammers hanging from his waist, nodded slightly and asked.
"My Marquis has arrived at Qilin Pass. Today, the special general will send a letter of war. Tomorrow, the marshal will be invited to come out for a meeting!"
Wu Bao clasped his hands into fists and said.
"It turns out that Yun Zhao has arrived..."
Listen to what Wu Bao said.
Han Qinhu thought.
Immediately.
He said to Wu Bao: "In that case, show me the letter of challenge!"
"yes!"
Wu Bao bowed and saluted, and then presented a letter of challenge written by Wu Yunzhao with both hands.
Read it briefly.
Han Qinhu nodded, then replied with the words "I will fight tomorrow" and returned it to Wu Bao's hand.
Wu Bao took the letter of challenge, saluted Han Qinhu, turned around and left the Sui army camp.
"Now that Wu Yunzhao has arrived, the troops will start fighting tomorrow. General Ma, are you ready?"
After Wu Bao leaves.
Han Qinhu's eyes fell on Ma Shumou and he asked.
When Ma Shumou heard this, he immediately stepped forward, cupped his fists and answered, "Marshal! The last general has gathered his generals and deputy generals, and they will kill Wu Yunzhao in tomorrow's battle!"
Han Qinhu nodded and said, "Okay! I wonder if General Ma would like to issue a military order?"
Ma Shumou was slightly startled, and a trace of hesitation flashed across his face.
"Is it possible that General Ma is unwilling?"
Han Qinhu's face darkened slightly and he asked coldly.
"The last general takes command!"
Saw this situation.
Ma Shumou cursed Han in his heart for not being able to capture the tiger, but on the surface he could only obey the order and wrote a military order.
"Okay! Now that the leader of the thief has arrived, let's prepare ourselves and fight again tomorrow!"
Ma Shumou's military order was completed.
Han Qinhu handed it to the military judge for safekeeping, and then said.
Upon hearing this, all the generals bowed their hands to accept their orders and saluted Han Qinhu to say goodbye.
Just say that night.
In Ma Shumou's camp.
Many of his generals gathered in the tent.
These people are either his fellow villagers or desperadoes recruited by him. All of them are cruel and murderous people with extraordinary martial arts skills.
I saw many generals arriving.
Ma Shumou nodded slightly.
Subsequently.
He opened his mouth and said: "Today, I issued a military order in front of the marshal. Tomorrow I will be the vanguard and I will not dare to retreat. However, I heard that Wu Yun summoned heroes who were unparalleled in the world and bravely championed the three armies. They are unstoppable. You are my trusted generals and must cooperate with each other. Support me and fight with me!”
"We are willing to obey the general's orders!"
After hearing the words, the generals raised their hands and said.
Ma Shumou nodded and continued: "He Lun is the strongest in martial arts. You can go up and try your skills first and see how good Wu Yunzhao is!"
"The general will know!"
He didn't finish his sentence.
A strong general with a body as strong as an ox, wearing a black helmet and black armor, had already cupped his fists and accepted the order.
"Then, if He Lun wins, we will rush the army to cover up the killing; if He Lun loses, I will personally go forward and fight with Wu Yunzhao. At this time, you must follow closely. If I win, I will pick off the rebels. Dismount, you can quickly capture him and steal his robe, armor, carbine, sword. These are treasures. I will use them later. Don’t lose any of them. If I am defeated, you can quickly step forward to block him. Fight to the death with all your strength and work together. If you get the traitor, the credit will be the same."
Ma Shumou said in a deep voice to the many generals under his command.
Hearing this, everyone responded in unison: "Yes!"
