Cao Cao took fifteen heroes and three to five hundred carefully selected soldiers, said goodbye to Wu Song and other brothers by the lake, and headed south to Hangzhou.
They all traveled at dawn and stayed overnight. After two days of walking, they arrived in Hangzhou.
It was afternoon at this time, and suddenly the cavalry reported back. Five or six miles ahead, there were 20,000 to 30,000 horses on each side, arranging their troops, and they were about to fight.
Cao Cao chuckled: "As expected of the Western Army, Duan's offensive is like the wind. I and others are small, so it is not easy to get involved in his battle. Brothers, please go hide in the woods. Shi Dalang, Tang Bin, Fei Bao, you three follow me." Go watch the fight.”
When Li Kui heard this, his heart felt like it was scratching his head. It was so easy for him to get a place on this trip to the south. How could he miss this excitement? Now he jumped up and down, twisting Cao Cao's hand and not letting go: "Ge Ge Ge Ge, if Tien Niu doesn't protect you personally, how can you rest assured?"
Why is his voice so weird? Because there was a bamboo mask on his face, which covered his mouth, his speech was a little unclear.
He originally wanted to find someone to have this mask made of copper and iron, but everyone was in a hurry and who had time to find a blacksmith? I can't wait for that time either.
It was "White Snake" Yang Chun who came up with the idea. There were bamboo forests everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River. He picked out the thick bamboo roots and cut off a piece of the lower door. Yang Chun used a knife to carve a Zhong Kui mask for him.
As the saying goes, everyone has his or her own merits. Yang Chun's skill with a broadsword is mediocre, but his ability with a small knife is exquisite. The masks he carved are lifelike with angry eyes and blowing beards, especially the bamboo roots dancing like a horned dragon, just like Zhong Kui's beard. Li Kui couldn't put it down and wore it all the way. Don’t take it off.
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "You are a black man, you shout and scream at every turn, and if you get into trouble, won't you miss my big event?"
Li Kui said with a smile: "Tieniu only wears his nose and eyes this time, not his mouth and tongue." He pursed his lips tightly, which meant that his mouth was gone.
Cao Cao had no choice but to allow him. Five people rode five horses, led by the exploring horse. Within a few miles, they saw a hill rising up, tens of feet high. It was flat, open, winding, and steep. Beautiful, Fei Bao pointed at it and said: "This is near Pingshan Mountain. If you go further twenty or thirty miles, you will reach the city."
The mountain was not very high. Cao Cao and the others led their horses and climbed up the mountain cautiously. There happened to be a flat spot on the mountainside. They stopped there, lifted off the branches and looked down. Sure enough, the armies on both sides were in formation, and they were attacking the Song Dynasty. The flags on one side are green and white flags, facing each other.
At this time, a general of the Southern Army rushed out from the front of the formation, holding a long spear in his hand, and shouted: "I am one of the twenty-four flying generals under the Holy Duke. It is Wang Ren who is known as the 'Shocking Cloud Spear'. I have heard about Qi Xi for a long time. The army is good at fighting, but is there anyone brave enough to come out and sacrifice Wang’s steel spear?”
Xin Xingzong and Yang Weizhong stood side by side in front of the officer formation. Behind them were the other four tigers of the Xin family. Behind them were twenty or thirty partial generals and fang generals. One of them saw the challenge from the thieves and was eager to make a contribution. He raised two swords and ran out on Pegasus. , shouted: "Thieves, don't be mad. I am Yan Nanfei, the real soldier of the Xihe Army. I want to borrow your head to achieve my military exploits!"
Both of them wanted to show off their abilities, so they started fighting in front of the formation.
Cao Cao and others were watching the battle attentively. Shi Jin slapped his thigh: "Well, this Western Army general must be a good player. Do you think his name is so resounding? I'm a man of words. With such a good name, he must be a powerful character..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Ren used a false move to trick Yan Nanfei into using his swords, and stabbed him under the horse with a backhand shot.
Shi Jin said in astonishment: "Ah? My parents racked their brains to think of a good name for him, is he going to die now?"
Before he finished speaking, Yan Nanfei got up from the ground. It turned out that the shot just hit him in the shoulder. He covered his shoulder and ran away towards the main formation.
Shi Jin nodded and said: "That's right! Good things come hard, and stories like this are often told in stories. You see, even if he is defeated, he will definitely be humiliated in the future..."
As soon as the word "shi" came out of his mouth, Wang Ren already threw out the spear in his hand, and with a pop, Yan Nanfei was stabbed to the core.
Just as Wang Ren was about to pull out the gun, another general came out of the Western Army formation, dancing with the three-pronged fork, and shouted: "Kill my brother, come here to take revenge! I am the leader of Xihe's army, fighting for nine days!" "
Shi Jin was surprised and said: "This man's name is also extraordinary. If we go by the script, he should be a good man."
Li Kui rolled his eyes and thought to himself that Shi Dalang was indeed an honest man, and he couldn't help but teach him to be a good boy: This guy saw that someone had no weapons, so he came to take advantage of him, what kind of hero could he be?
When the words came to my lips, I remembered that I didn't have them in my mouth, so I quickly shut up, my teeth bit my tongue, and I jumped in pain.
When Wang Ren saw someone coming, he didn't want the gun anymore, turned his horse and returned to the main formation.
As Zhan Jiutian was chasing after him, a man in the southern army got angry and shouted: "Don't you dare to take advantage of others' danger? Do you recognize Grandpa 'Little Evil God' Feng Yi?" He came out with his gun, met Zhan Jiutian and fought. The two After seven or eight jinglings, Feng Yi shot the fork aside with one shot, and with a flick back, the blade of the gun cut Zhan Jiutian's throat, and he fell off his horse and died.
The Southern Army won two battles in a row and cheered loudly. Xin Xingzong was furious: These traitor soldiers were supposed to be invincible and achieve their own achievements. They dared to fight against him. They were already so brave. Now they actually killed two of his own soldiers in a row. General, it's fine if you lose it in the hands of the Xixia people. If you lose it in the hands of these rebellious peasants, wouldn't you also lose your own face?
He couldn't help but reach out and touch the fishtail ax on the winning hook, preparing to appear in person to save face.
His movements were clearly visible to the four tigers behind him. The second oldest brother, Xin Qizong, shouted: "Brother, you are the general, how can you escape so lightly? Let me kill a few of them to vent my anger on my eldest brother!"
Immediately he took off his fishtail ax and rushed out on horseback: "Feng, please don't leave. I am the commander of Xin Qizong, a soldier of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty. Please eat my Xin family's axe!"
The fishtail ax is shaped like a fish tail, and its usage is quite different from ordinary large axes. In addition to chopping and chopping, it also pays special attention to the functions of hooking, hanging, hugging and stabbing. This is a skill passed down by his old Xin family, the Five Tigers of the Xin family. Initially it was called the Five Axes of the Xin Family, but later its reputation spread far and wide, and people thought it was the character for tiger, so they just made a mistake and called it the Five Tigers.
"Little Evil God" Feng Yi stabbed the enemy general to death. When he was showing off his power, he suddenly saw another person coming to kill him. He was not afraid and rushed towards him with his gun drawn. The two fought for more than ten times, and the winner was indistinguishable.
Xin Daozong, Xin Yongzong, and their cousin Xin Yanzong, seeing that their second brother had not taken advantage, all joined forces and went into battle.
Fengyi heard the rapid sound of the horse's hooves and looked sideways. She was startled. She was afraid of being surrounded by him. She rode her horse to return to the formation. Xin Laoer shouted: "Where to escape?" "——It is a piece of armor that goes around the waist and is tied with a belt. Fengyi was caught off guard, somersaulted and fell off the horse. Xin Laoer took the opportunity to kill him with an axe, jumped off the horse and cut off the head, tied it in front of his own horse, got back on the horse and laughed loudly: "The rebel is nothing more than that!"
The southern army was furious, and Wang Ren and other generals were about to rush forward and fight with him, but they heard a loud roar like thunder: "Don't move! The officers and soldiers are disgusting, Shi Mou will go and avenge this in person!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bearded general galloped out of the formation. He was tall, his horse was strong, and his momentum was astonishing. How could he be considered extraordinary? There is poetry to prove it:
The marshal of the five directions is south of the fire, his red armor and red robes are all red.
Fierce horses chase people and frighten people away from their dreams; long swords slash iron horns and split the wind.
Thousands of people are avoiding him because of the evil spirit, and his majestic body is nine feet tall.
The shooting star in his hand is used to defeat generals, and he is full of loyalty and loyalty to protect the Ming Gong.
When Li Kui met, why did he care about what he said? He opened his mouth wide and shouted in a fuss: "Oh, isn't this my big brother? It's called the 'Nanming Divine Sword' Shi Bao. Tsk, tsk, now wearing this armor, he looks so majestic - Eh? Sorry, This big man likes to show off, so why can one person beat four of them? Oh, brother, how about asking Tieniu to help him?"
There are different teachings: the appearance of a different number is still real, and it is agreed that it is spring in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many powerful generals in the Western Army, but you should know that Shi Bao likes to kill people.
