Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 163 The Fierce and Crazy Dragon Rider

The dark clouds in the sky were very low, and the strong wind swept across the land. Among the thick clouds, there were dull thunder sounds from time to time, which made people feel extremely depressing.

Looking out from the city, there is a large area of ​​darkness, with countless flags gathering to form an ocean, hunting in the wind, the deep neighing and continuous panting of the horses, making the whole Chengdu feel the bleak killing intent.

On the top of the city, Lu Xiangsheng was wearing a black armor, which was different from any armor of the Ming army. It was a bit thicker in its simplicity, and when he walked, the iron plates rattled.

The skinny but tall Lu Xiangsheng put on this suit of armor, full of heroic spirit, with every movement of his hands and feet, he was quite majestic. There were only a few thousand recruits in the city, and they could only be used to suppress the common people. They were truly capable of fighting. , Longzitou Cavalry Battalion, but this is a sharp blade, and there is no way to deal with defense.

"Lu Xiangsheng, you traitor, you read the books of sages in vain, what face do you have to dare to live in the world." Soldier's scolding sounded from the city. This sentence is true for those who have been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood. His heart-breaking words, but any scholar with a little courage will recklessly die and declare his aspirations.

But Lu Xiangsheng is extraordinary after all, he just smiled coldly, turned around and went down the city wall, looked at Gongsun Yang who was coming up, saw him hesitate to speak, Lu Xiangsheng immediately shouted: "Say what you want, why bother to be a mother-in-law, just be a little girl!" Daughter pose."

"The general taught me the lesson." Although Gongsun Yang is Zhu Gan's personal guard and knows Zhu Gan's identity, he dare not act presumptuously in front of Lu Xiangsheng, and he respects and admires him more and more. He knows that Lu Xiangsheng made such a decision. It takes a lot of courage. If the two exchange positions, maybe he will choose to die and escape.

He sneered and said: "Okay, you don't have to be so polite. Your Majesty will inevitably be a little confused sometimes. We who are courtiers have to assist Your Majesty well. Even if we work hard, I have never understood His Majesty's establishment. But I know how powerful they are, so defend the city well, and I will go out of the city to fight them."

"Lu Gong! This must never be allowed." Gongsun Yang hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"Hmph! Do you really think I'm desperate for death? You underestimate me too much. Keep the city safe, and I'll go." At this time, the officers and soldiers had just arrived here, and they had already surrounded Chengdu Mansion, and their foothold was not stable. And he was extremely tired, and the cavalry battalion in his hand was a unparalleled offensive weapon, but he was not good at defense.

If you don't take a risk at this time, the Red Clothes Army will not have any chance.

The heavy city gate slowly opened with a creak, and the suspension bridge weighing more than a thousand catties also fell to the ground. There was a light bang, and countless dust was splashed. The officers and soldiers stared blankly at the opened city gate, forgetting to react for a while. .

On the high wooden platform built in the distance, Sun Chengzong did not show any signs of aging, and said with a soft snort: "Lu Xiangsheng is by no means a reckless person. At this time, he must be [-]% sure of opening the city. Although there are many officers and troops, but Most of them are mobs, they just came here and haven't rested yet, if he breaks the camp, it is very likely to be defeated, immediately order your most elite troops to intercept him, and never let the red-clothed thieves get close to the official army camp .”

Li Mingyang was sitting in a wheelchair, and behind him was Tang Biao, a senior brother of the Tang Sect. Hearing Sun Chengzong's words, Li Mingyang's handsome face flashed a few traces of surprise. He could treat Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Yanwang, with such a calm mind, and his mind would be very complicated. !

Uncompromising, Li Mingyang slightly raised his eyes and glanced at Tang Biao behind him. He quickly wrote a note and handed it over: "Do as you do, and let Jiangongying go to intercept it."

After Tang Biao left the high platform, Sun Chengzong also looked away, looked at Li Mingyang with some confusion, and said softly: "Nephew, you seem to be dissatisfied with me belittling your soldiers!"

"Don't dare!" Li Mingyang said softly, looking into the distance with misty eyes: "It's just that I recruited Hu Guangbing, most of them are free-spirited refugees, wild-tempered and courageous, but they are all first-class heroes. After training, looking at the world, I guess it can be regarded as a strong army!"

"Yes! It's good to have money." Sun Chengzong sighed, leaving Li Mingyang with a lonely back. When he walked down the wooden platform, his legs seemed to be struggling, and his straight back seemed to be slightly bent.

Looking at this respectable figure, Li Mingyang sighed quietly, looked at the red-clothed army in the distance, his gaze was as deep as the vast starry sky, and whispered: "You are always out of tune with this world after all, there is no red-clothed army , where is my today."

Lu Xiangsheng took the lead and rushed out with a big knife weighing more than 80 jins, followed by the Longzitou cavalry battalion, each of them was full of energy, facing the coming fight or death, calmly coping with it, even more What's more, he laughed loudly and made vulgar jokes with the brothers on the side as if no one else was there.

They are used to tough battles. Compared with Long Ziqi's calmness and calmness, the meritorious camp created by Li Mingyang lacks the hardening of bloody battles. Although they are full of energy, they lack something. His hands turned white from too much force and he didn't know it.

Seeing the Dragon Knight getting closer and closer, he could almost smell the flying dust and inhale the suffocating and desperate feeling in his lungs, just like a drowning person, the expressions of the soldiers of the Jiangong Battalion suddenly changed several times, and many of them were even worse. His legs trembled with fright, and he wanted to escape.

In the end, the gap between the two became more and more obvious. This time the official army raided Chengdu. In order to march quickly, they did not bring a few cannons, so they had to fight hand-to-hand with the red-clothed army.

In order to encourage the courage of the soldiers, Lu Xiangsheng put aside all the burdens, and was quite dangerous to die, but his leadership did not make the soldiers of the Dragon Knight have any complaints in their hearts, and they followed suit one after another. A light cotton armor, and only a slashing weapon in his hand.

I thought that the Jiangong Battalion would be able to withstand the footsteps of Long Ziqi. The helpless sheep, Long Ziqi is a pack of hungry wolves, that terrifying bloodiness, and the senselessness of not being afraid of death completely frightened Jiangongying.

You must know that most of the Jiangong battalion are stabbed by Li Mingyang's one-of-a-kind soldiers, and there is no need to repeat their courage. Looking at this group of desperate dragon riders now, I realize that they are just playing tricks.

According to the memories of many surviving soldiers of the Jiangong Battalion, the most ferocious red-clothed soldier at that time was pierced in the stomach by a gun, and his intestines flowed out of the horse, but he kept charging to kill the enemy. His intestines had been exhausted on the battlefield, leaving only an empty shell in his stomach, and then he fell off the horse and died completely.

For those who survived this war, they don't want to recall too much. It is because the red-clothed army was too vicious to die. The tragic situation on the battlefield is unforgettable for them all their lives. Waking up from this nightmare.

Like a fierce and crazy tiger, Lu Xiangsheng quickly pierced through the Jiangong battalion of more than 1 people, and then led the army to continue charging towards the army headquarters that was being reorganized. On the rough door, there is a sign for avoiding fighting.

Lu Xiangsheng sneered, jumped up from his horse, and slashed down heavily with his saber, slashing Huashan Mountain, splitting the battle-free card and Mu Lanshan to pieces, then fell back on his horse, and led the soldiers into the spear formation, the saber in his hand slashed to the left. Cut right and dance flawlessly.

Afterwards, Long Ziqi followed Lu Xiangsheng and charged in through the gap. The officers and soldiers were cut off by the middle and broke through quickly.

Looking at the ferocious Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chengzong kept shaking his head. It's a pity that such a peerless general can serve the court wholeheartedly. It's a pity, a pity, but more can't figure it out. Regardless of Sun Chengzong's heavenly posture, even if he wanted to break his head, he would never think that the leader of the rebels would be today's son.

"Although I am old, I also know how to serve the country. Come on, come! Wear me in battle." Sun Chengzong was wearing a light padded armor. Never getting old, regardless of the comfort of those close to him, he resolutely got on the horse.

"Grand Master, I have a plan to stop this traitor that everyone can punish." Seeing that Sun Chengzong was about to leave with his cavalry, the generals beside him felt extremely ashamed, and only one of them was wearing a white Confucian uniform. , with a majestic face and a pair of sword eyebrows flying, he looks full of heroism.

Sun Chengzong stopped his horse slightly, glanced at this person, was surprised in his heart, but did not express anything, and said with a light smile: "If you want to persuade me, then don't mention it again."

The man hurriedly cupped his hands, not even daring to say anything, and without delay, he said quickly: "This Lu Xiang has been promoted to be an official of the imperial court. He has studied sage books since he was a child. Suddenly surrendered to the red-clothed thief, there must be something hidden in it, if you can send a team of strong and capable people to capture him, as the saying goes, there will be chaos if there is no head, and the crisis will resolve itself. The secret of the red-clothed thief, this is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone."

It is obviously a very simple matter, but sometimes when people walk into a dead end, it is easy to get into the corner. As the saying goes, the bystander can see clearly. At this time, the key person can see through it, and what is needed is quick wit. Commander, you don't need a lot of wisdom, but sometimes you just listen, and you can listen to the words.

Sun Chengzong asked with a cheerful smile, "What's your name?"

"Sun Chuanting!" The voice was sonorous and powerful, like the impact of gold and stone.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was such a well-known saying that was handed down from generation to generation:

Chuan Ting died, and Ming died.

The court passer is Sun Chuanting.
