Chapter 22: Three-foot Qingfeng fights fame (2)

The sharp copper scepter suddenly poked out from the horizontal and stabbed fiercely on the war horse's neck.

Xi Yuyu, the horse's niggled with a shrill and long neighed, raised its front hooves, and then fell into the mud with a thump, with four hooves twitching continuously.

Cao Wushang looked fierce, threw away the copper scepter, pulled out the iron sword, and chopped the bandit leader who was thrown into dizziness and got up from the mud. Liu Kan breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and ran towards the direction of the formation with the injured Gengzhang on his back.

While running, he shouted loudly: "Cao Wushang, you must not fight in love, retreat... retreat to the central army!"

At this time, dozens of people rushed out from behind the grain truck, and the leader was Yongchi, who waved his long spear and came towards the bandits. Zhao Tuo stood on a grain truck and stared at the changes in the battlefield. Seeing the bandits rushing up again and trying to trap Liu Kan and others, his brows frowned slightly.

"Liu Ji, scatter!"

When Liu Bang heard this, he responded quickly, commanding the archers in the central army to scatter to the sky.

This scattering did not have a certain target, just like what later generations called firepower coverage. Hundreds of archers bent their bows and shot arrows, and sharp arrows roared and flew to the battlefield far away. Liu Kan had returned to the formation and asked Zhou Chang to arrange for someone to take care of the injured soldiers. He held a shield in one hand and waved his sword in the other, and fought again with the bandits rushing over, fighting and retreating, and moving towards the central army.

A sharp arrow suddenly shot at Liu Kan.

Cao Wushang had quick eyes and quick hands, and waved his sword to cut off the sharp arrow.

Liu Kan also noticed it and couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of the central army, "Not hurt, be careful, something seems to be wrong behind you!"

Ordinary people may regard this arrow as a trap, after all, anything can happen on the battlefield.

However, out of instinct, Liu Kan keenly realized that this sharp arrow shot at him was definitely not a flash arrow, but a deliberate one.

In the central army, Liu Bang suddenly rushed over and kicked a man who was about his age.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, his actions were more like to cover the man and avoid being hurt by the rookie. Liu Bang squatted down and grabbed the man's arm. He growled viciously: "Wan, are you crazy? Why did you shoot Liu Kan just now?"

The man's name is Lu Wan, who was born on the same day of the same year and month as Liu Bang, and the two families are family friends.

Lu Wan has been following Liu Bang since she was a child, and can be called Liu Bang's shadow. He was kicked by Liu Bang, but Lu Wan didn't seem to care.

He looked fiercely at Liu Kan, who was fighting in the distance, "Liu Bang, if it weren't for this guy last time, how could we have failed? And this bastard killed Cao Ji, turning Fei into a motherless child... Taking this opportunity, he was just killing him and avenging Cao Ji."

In Pei County, many people call Liu Ji Liu Bang.

But in fact, Liu Bang is not the name of Liu Ji. Bang is a dialect in the Sishui County area. In the later generations, it means "Big Brother". Liu Bang, in short, means "Big Brother" or "Big Brother Liu", is considered a kind of respectful title.

Liu Bang gritted his teeth and said, "Bastard, even though Liu Kan killed Cao Ji, he is no wonder. We do that business that is not fundamental, either killing people or being killed. What's more, we are in the same group now, how can private grudges be compared with official affairs? You are really confused.

Moreover, the Qin people obviously want to promote Liu Kan. If he dies, can you guarantee that the Qin people will not investigate? Death in the battlefield or being attacked by a sneak attack, you can only find out by looking at the wound. If the Qin people find out that Liu Kan died of a sneak attack, none of us can escape responsibility.

Also, Tu Zi and Ren Ao have good feelings for him now.

Can you guarantee that they will not be suspicious? As for the grudge between me and Liu Kan, don’t interfere, I will settle the score with him."

After hearing Liu Bang's words, Lu Wan punched the ground in annoyance.

"Wan, now put those private revenge aside, deal with Wang Ling and others first, and take revenge, and then talk about it later... Wang Ling's guy's methods are vicious and has not been dispatched yet. It is obviously a different plan. Let's be careful, don't throw your life here."

Lu Wan nodded, "Liu Bang, don't worry, I know!"

The dialogue between Liu Bang and Lu Wan did not attract the attention of others, and even Zhao Tuo, who was supervising the war, had not discovered it.

Liu Kan's men and Yong Chi and others met, took the opportunity to kill the bandits and retreated to the central army. After a fierce battle, Liu Kan injured 17 people, but none of them died. It was not a miracle. Liu Kan himself was covered in blood and walked to Zhao Tuo.

He intervened and said, "Liu Kan reported to the general, and 100 and 11 people of the vanguard attacked, but none of them died."

Zhao Tuo looked at Liu Kan up and down a few times, and suddenly laughed loudly: "It's true that he is a hero, I'm not wrong with you! Liu Kan, I'll order you to continue leading the troops to guard the left flank of the central army. Without my orders, you must not let a bandit come over."

"Hi!"

Liu Kan intervened again and turned around and left.

First, Shen Shiqi and Zhou Chang were arranged to take care of the wounded, and then he brought people to exchange defense with the left flank guarded by Ren Ao, and added arrows. Liu Kan's return not only added manpower to Zhao Tuo, but also greatly boosted the morale of these more soldiers.

Zhao Tuo immediately ordered Yongchi to guard the right flank and set off a defensive posture.

Five hundred people, a barrier formed by a circle of grain trucks, formed a strong defense line. Zhao Tuo continued to observe the thieves' actions, and after a brief fight, the thieves lost as many as a hundred people, and temporarily stopped blind attacks and observed the movements of the grain team.

"Why haven't Liu Ji and Fan Kuai's troops come to meet?"

Zhao Tuo suddenly asked, but was scared to Liu Bang to sweat. Yes, why hasn't that guy Fan Kuai joined the Central Army yet? After the bandits started attacking, the Central Army and the Front Army were the main targets of the attack. On the contrary, Fan Kuai, who was under the front army, was not under much pressure. The bandits only sent a small number of troops to cut off the connection between the rear army and the Central Army.

Now that the front army has joined forces, why hasn’t Fan Kuai appeared yet?

Liu Bang was quick to learn and hurriedly explained: "Xiaomin thought that Fan Kuai should have other plans. Although the bandits attacked fiercely, they did not seem to have tried their best. Although Fan Kuai is usually reckless, he is still very smart at critical moments. When he appears at the most critical moment, the attack on the bandits may be even heavier... General, Xiaomin can guarantee that Fan Kuai will never retreat at the last minute."

Zhao Tuo had no expression on his face and just said, "I hope so."

Liu Bang breathed a sigh of relief: he finally fooled it! Although he didn't know why Fan Kuai did not meet, he believed that Fan Kuai would not escape at the last minute. So Liu Bang cheered up and commanded the headquarters to prepare because the bandits started to act again.

In the dark night, the bandits swarmed in, braved the drizzle and rushed towards the grain team.

Although there were not many people, there were at least seven or eight hundred people. Liu Kan changed into a copper slug weighing about 30 kilograms, then tore open the lapel and wrapped it around his hands. The copper slug became wet and slippery when it was blood-touched, and it was difficult to grasp. A strip of cloth wrapped around his hands can make it more convenient to fight.

The rest of the people followed suit and tore the linen into strips and wrapped them around their hands.

Seeing the bandit getting closer and closer, Liu Kan raised the copper scepter and shouted loudly: "Shoot the arrow!"

Almost at the same time, Liu Bang and Yong Chi issued orders at the same time. Hundreds of arrows rushed up all over the sky, and in the drizzle, they flew towards the bandits like black flies. Pupp, puff, puff... The bandits who rushed in the front were instantly shot into a hedgehog and fell into a pool of blood and mud.

But the remaining bandits seemed to be rude, screaming and continuing to attack.

One hundred steps, fifty steps... Seeing that there were only twenty or thirty steps left from the convoy, Liu Kan rushed out from behind the car and rushed towards the bandits.

"kill!"

With an angry shout forward, Liu Kan's standard stabbing move in the future, a stabbing piercing attack, as fast as lightning, penetrated the bandit's chest. He followed the body, and the bronze snail was strangely pulled out of the corpse, and then another roar, a flash of cold light, and the bronze snail was sprinting.

Cao Wushang followed Liu Kan. What he was responsible for was to cover Liu Kan's back and sides.

Dozens of even-man soldiers followed these two men, like a sharp arrow. Liu Kan was the arrow, and he saw blood when he appeared, like a lion fighting a rabbit.

Although there are many bandits, the soldiers of the grain team have already developed a strong sense of fighting.

Liu Bang and Yong Chi led their troops to attack one after another. The two sides fought together, and the dull sounds made by the weapons when they cut into the flesh and blood were heard one after another. A scream, a bunch of blood mixed with the broken limbs and arms, splashing around. For a moment, the Zhaoyang Daze turned into a blood-red...

Zhao Tuo always stood tall in the central army, with a black dragon ringing behind him.

The flag was not over, and the morale of the army was stable. Seeing the thieves gradually unable to resist and flee in all directions, Zhao Tuo did not show any joy on his face, but instead frowned, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes. Until now, the soldiers of the Wangling still did not attack!

The most important thing to lure the snake out of the cave this time is to deal with the Wang Ling.

Before setting off, Ren Xiao considered all aspects, and of course, he also considered that Wang Ling was cunning, and he might hide his strength and consume the intentions of other bandits. Wang Ling did not attack, the Qin army did not attack... This is Ren Xiao's strategy. At the same time, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, Ren Xiao ordered Zhao Tuo: Once Wang Ling attacks and the signal is sent, you must hold Wang Ling's back.

Time...one hour!

But in this way, the pressure on the food team will become very great.

If it doesn't work out properly, these hundreds of people will even be wiped out, including Zhao Tuo, who will lose his lives.

This is a gambling and a test. Zhao Tuo is not afraid of death, but he has to worry that once the food team suffers heavy losses, these temporary recruits will mutiny due to fear. If this situation really occurs, the task will also fail.

If this failure is not easy, it will not be easy to lead Wang Ling out!
