Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 97 It's Raining All the Time, Don't Be Afraid

The city gate slowly opened a gap, and a man wearing red soft armor came slowly against the fine rain. The horse's hooves knocked on the mud, ticking, splashing rain and mud.

The city gate was closed, and he walked slowly across the suspension bridge on the moat. The white horse neighed softly, as if he didn't see anyone outside the city in his eyes. In the rain, he gradually saw the appearance of the man and the horse. The soldiers in the army are even more mighty, with broad faces and wide ears, thick backs, and on their shoulders a precious sword rimmed with mixed gold, which is more than four feet long.

Zhu Qian could be sure that the person in front of him was Cao Bianjiao. Looking at the sassy sword in his hand, his thoughts changed suddenly. He died heroically in the Songshan War. How could such a person be a superficial person? , this knife may have an extraordinary origin!

I saw Cao Bianjiao stopped his horse not far away, raised the treasured sword in his hand, pointed at the red-clothed army obliquely and said: "Thief, how dare you go forward and fight your grandfather."

"Haha! Cao Bianjiao, grandpa will meet you." Gongsun Yang rode on his horse, drew an iron gun casually, and rushed out. Exercising the bow and horse, at this time straddling the horse and carrying the gun, people are like dragons, and horses are like tigers, which is extremely extraordinary.

Gongsun Yang was born in Jinyiwei, he knew Cao Bianjiao, and he could vaguely guess how much Zhu Qian valued and loved Cao Bianjiao, so he just took this opportunity to build a good relationship with Cao Bianjiao, after all, he is not a general in battle, and he is doing something sideways Things are okay, if you really want him to lead the army, the incident in Xuzhou City last time made him taste the power.

Cao Bianjiao didn't know Gongsun Yang, but looking at his popularity, he felt a little fear in his heart. How could the red-clothed thief recruit such a talent in such a short period of time? Like arrows leaving the string, the two passed each other.

Pushing his shoulders against his arms, the treasured sword jumped up, and swung down with force, chopping Huashan Mountain and slashing towards Gongsun Yang who was coming from the leaping horse.

Seeing Cao Bianjiao with the empty door wide open, Gongsun Yang could stab him to death with a single shot, but the knife that was cut would also cut off half of his body, even though he has all kinds of powerful martial arts, he couldn't do it at this moment. He even warned himself to forget death, but when the two horses crossed each other, Gongsun Yang was instinctively afraid.

Gongsun Yang was so scared that the white hair on his back was sweating. The knife was too dangerous and too fast. He almost cut him off the horse. He turned around and looked at Cao Bianjiao. It's not about who is more skilled in martial arts, but who is more brave and fearless.

Cao Bianjiao laughed and said: "If you are facing my uncle in this battle, you will definitely not be able to dodge that knife. The murderous aura that comes over you will make you feel like a landslide."

Gongsun Yang's face was ugly, the tip of his spear was raised slightly, and he pointed at Cao Bianjiao: "Come again!"

"Okay, come again, this time I will kill you." Cao Bianjiao smiled wildly.

Zhu Qian frowned slightly, the two of them missed each other, there was no fancy, the comparison was bravery, the danger in it, I am afraid it is hard to predict, such a general in battle, although young, is very experienced, Gongsun Yang is superb in martial arts , with a little less experience in actual combat, if this continues, Gongsun Yang will probably lose in no less than five rounds, or even be killed.

For Gongsun Yang, Zhu Gan is very important. If such a loyal captain of the guard is easily beheaded, he will feel heartbroken. It will also be a huge blow to the newly created red army. This is definitely not something that he can bear now. of.

"Wait!" Zhu Gan interrupted, and the two who were about to ride their horses froze for a moment.

Cao Bianjiao thought that Zhu Qian wanted to turn his back on him, so he sternly shouted: "Could it be that, seeing that he is at a disadvantage, you still want to attack him in groups, but you can't succeed."

"Hmph! As the chief general of the army, you dare to go out of the city alone without your soldiers. This is not bravery, but stupidity. I took you, and the entire army is afraid of rats. Can you still win? Hmph! But It’s just a reckless man who can’t be reused, if I don’t want my subordinates to exercise, I won’t talk nonsense with you, just take you as a reckless man.” Zhu Gan walked towards Cao Bianjiao step by step, his face was very cold, Although he didn't ride a horse, he felt like looking down on all living beings from above.

Facing Zhu Gan's oppression, Cao Bianjiao felt that the person opposite him was the vast sea, he was breathing heavily, and he was extremely angry, and roared: "If you have the guts, take me, and I will make you smash a tooth too! Hmph! I won't let you get what you want."

Zhu Qian became more and more sure that the officers and soldiers must have some kind of conspiracy, otherwise Cao Bianjiao would not have made such a bad move, and it was a dangerous strategy. He would not have been so stupid and reckless. Unfavorable, delaying time through such a method.

"This time, the officers and soldiers have placed a heavy bet!" With a sigh, he waved to Gongsun Yang and whispered a few words in his ear, only to see that Gongsun Yang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he couldn't help nodding his head in high spirits. Zhu Gan said softly: "Go! Don't lose face for us."

Cao Bianjiao's face was complicated, and he couldn't help thinking about what this man said to Gongsun Yang, which made him become confident and tall in the blink of an eye, and then became vigilant in his heart, maybe he wanted to play tricks.

"Kill." When the two confronted each other, Gongsun Yang let out a low growl, like a wild beast roaring. Gongsun Yang stood up, his long hair flying in the wind, and the tip of the spear in his hand was aimed at Cao Bianjiao's heart.

The rain has become fine and dense. If it was like silk just now, it has now become a thin needle. The thorns fall one by one, and there is some tingling sensation on the body. The fine needles drip on the bright spear tip, tick-tock-tick-tick Blooming, blooming a transparent flowers.

The tip of the spear moved slowly, spinning rapidly, full of determination, crushing everything.

This is a real duel, Cao Bianjiao suddenly felt uneasy, Zhu Gan's words kept echoing in his ears like a dream monster, the two got closer, he could even see through the rain that Gongsun Yang closed his Eyes, chest wide open, is this what Zhu Gan ordered him?

The speed of the two passing by was extremely fast, they clashed with each other with guns and knives, Cao Bianjiao was stabbed off his horse, and Gongsun Yang was hit on the shoulder. If it wasn't for the inner chain mail, his arm might have been picked off.

"Okay! Cao Bianjiao, you're defeated." Zhu Gan waved his hand immediately, not allowing him to refute, his guards rushed forward quickly, pinned him to the ground, tied him up with ropes, and became a prisoner in the blink of an eye.

"It's all right!" Zhu Gan helped Gongsun Yang off his horse and asked softly.

"Damn the lowly position, let your majesty..." Gongsun Yang only felt that the dislocated arm didn't hurt so much, and knelt on the ground excitedly, how dare he let Zhu Gan come to help him in person.

Zhu Gan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said with a smile, "You didn't embarrass me!"

"It's all your Majesty... My lord taught me well." Gongsun Yang was delighted and flattered him quietly.

Zhu Gan was very grateful, he patted Gongsun Yang on the shoulder and said: "Heal your wounds well, a thousand soldiers are easy to get, but a general is hard to find, you have the foundation, I hope you can become a strong general as soon as possible, and serve the country."

In the eyes of all the officers and soldiers in Meilin City, the red-clothed army captured Cao Bianjiao, and they didn't know if he was defeated, but Cao Bianjiao was picked off the horse, but everyone saw it with their own eyes, and they sighed in their hearts. They thought they would not care about the result, but when After really knowing that my side lost, I still couldn't help but feel low morale.

Suddenly, the red-clothed army moved, five thousand soldiers and horses, without any logistical burden, moved in the rain, making the officers and soldiers on the top of the city helpless, but their leader Cao Bianjiao was captured, and everyone was helpless, anxious like ants on a hot pot , I don't know what to do.

On the hilltop in the distance, a well-disciplined cavalry team was looking at Meilin County. They also sent a document to Cao Bianjiao not long after they arrived. They must stop the red-clothed army at all costs. As long as they have a good rest, they can go down the mountain immediately and kill them without leaving a single one.

But what I didn't expect was that it was precisely because of their urgency that Zhu Gan, who had become cautious, was alarmed, and he sensed a trace of unusual danger, so he took decisive action.

At this time, the people on the mountain no longer concealed their hiding places, and yelled, regardless of the slippery mountain road, they rushed down from the steep hillside, trying to cut off the red-clothed army passing down the mountain.
