Broken Iron Clothes

======================

As they expected, Feng Han wanted to set up an ambush to lure Yuan Mucheng into the trap, so at this time Feng Han had been waiting around the Shengzhou city gate for several days, and his mentality was getting more and more anxious. He only heard a few footsteps coming from outside. , then tensed God.

The person who came was Yang Wansheng, and he said as soon as he entered the door: "General, someone from the other end has been sent to ask when we can send troops."

The "that end" that Yang Wansheng was referring to was the reinforcements from Damo who had marched to Shengzhou not long ago, and the leader of the team was Rao Kun, the left general of the Damo army, who was also the only son of Rao Shunhe.

"Daily reminders, daily reminders, will you lose meat if you wait a few more days? Didn't the scouts just say that the Dali transport team had entered Shengzhou this morning? Yuan Mucheng will be killed sooner or later. That kid Rao Kun is so capable!" If you have the ability, just lead the troops to kill Yuan Mucheng's head in Ningzhou, what can I do for you?" Feng Han said impatiently, "Tell him, wait patiently, if there is no accident, it will be a matter of two days. If this can be done, the large army in Yingzhou will be able to dispatch troops immediately, and Ningzhou will be at your fingertips."

Yang Wansheng was about to salute and retreat when he almost bumped into the soldiers who rushed to report.

"General! The scouts have come to report that Yuan Mucheng has led his troops ten miles away."

Feng Han scolded anxiously: "You son of a bitch, you are still playing raids with me, how many people are there?"

"A rough estimate, about [-] people."

Feng Han immediately ordered: "Wan Sheng, quickly order people to enter the encirclement to deploy defenses. In addition, send messengers to light the beacon to report to Rao Kun. The rest of the people will follow me out of the city and face the battle!"

Under the turbulent sea of ​​clouds, Yuan Mucheng led a mighty army over the sand, and he saw Feng Han leading the troops waiting outside the city from afar.Just now Yuan Mucheng ordered the formation, dense arrows fell from the sky, the shield wall was piled up, and the arrowheads blocking the falling gathered all over the ground.

"Yuan Mucheng, grandpa is tired of raiding." Feng Han turned the knife around and raised his voice, "I will get back the knife last time today!"

When the military order was issued, the shields of the two sides were withdrawn, the cavalry charged and fought, and the thunderous hoofbeats mixed with the blood from the fighting rose to all directions.

The horse's hooves didn't stop for a moment, Yuan Mucheng twisted his wrists around the reins tightly, drew his knife and rubbed it on the arm guard, clamped the horse's belly with his legs and went straight to Feng Han.

The blade suddenly swept towards the neck, Feng Han dodged sideways, and was stunned by the brazen wind of the blade, his throat unconsciously felt a tingling dryness.Before he could think about it, he chopped off the horse's head again. Feng Han pulled the reins tightly, turned the horse around, raised the knife behind his back, and received the force of the knife, even his chest was numb from the shock.

Facing Yuan Mucheng's strong attack, after a few moves, Feng Han gradually showed his defeat. At the same time, the Dali cavalry who had rushed to the front quickly found out the depth, and rushed straight to the rear of the army formation, where there were only more than [-] people. Break up.

Feng Han saw the right moment, tilted his head to signal Yang Wansheng, and then ordered: "Withdraw the troops!"

Seeing Yang Wansheng leading the troops retreat, Yuan Mucheng shouted: "He Xiao, chase after him!"

He Xiaode ordered his men to chase after him, but at this time the battle continued, Yuan Mucheng clearly had the upper hand, but Feng Han gave up retreating and was still fighting him.

Yuan Mucheng originally wanted He Xiao to pretend to follow Yang Wansheng into an ambush, so that after the Weiming army lowered their defenses, the [-] troops behind Dali turned back, but he didn't realize the abnormality until he slashed here with a knife for a long time.

Even though Feng Han wanted to set up an ambush, there were too few Weiming troops who stayed here as bait in the first place.Besides, since Feng Han wanted to kill him, why did he try to lure him to stay here, unless Feng Han just wanted to hold him back, but why did he hold him...

Yuan Mucheng's thoughts were confused, he only felt that his chest was stuffy, he couldn't calm down to think, the scorching sun was scorching, the scorching wind was blowing, chaos and Qingming were entangled with each other, and finally lost to the word Yuzhou. At this moment, all he could think about was the Northern Territory , is Yuan Muqing.

It was his eldest sister who died in Yuzhou, how could he not think about it!

Hot sweat rolled down from the mandible, Yuan Mucheng slashed with his knife, and every time he made a cut, Yuan Muqing's cry was heard in his head.

Ah Cheng.

Ah Cheng.

Stop barking!

The unexploded pain had a huge stamina, and it was about to overthrow his calmness completely.

The handle of the knife was tightly fastened to the tiger's mouth, making his skin red and hot. Yuan Mucheng clenched his hands even more painlessly, his eyes were already red.

"The big enemy army is coming!"

He only heard a loud shout from behind, and the sound of horseshoes came overwhelmingly. Yuan Mucheng followed the reputation and saw that the leader was tall and tall, sitting on the horse and still eye-catching, but his eyes were only locked on him greedily. .

Lai Chang turned around and scolded, "Damn it, it's Rao Shunhe's tortoise son Rao Kun!"

There was a menacing attack from that side, so Yuan Mucheng ordered to withdraw his troops without thinking too much, but Rao Kun rushed forward with his horse and slashed at Yuan Mucheng's head.The heavy blow was firmly caught, but Rao Kun was not surprised, and immediately turned his horse back to Yuan Mucheng's side.

Yuan Mucheng turned around to fight, but when the man approached him, he suddenly withdrew his knife, and threw out a nine-section whip from his waist, hitting him directly in front of his eyes.The blade was far less than the length of the whip, and Yuan Mucheng was hit by a hook when he raised the blade to block it, and he could feel the pain even through the armor.

Unexpectedly, the purpose of Rao Kun's whip was to entangle the sharp knife in his hand, and the moment he raised the knife to block it, Rao Kun swung the whip to tightly bind the blade and Yuan Mucheng's wrist, and then pulled hard , pulled Yuan Mucheng and hit the horse and ran to the other side.

The wrist is locked, and the knife must not be released. Rao Kun's move is to let Yuan Mucheng be taken to a certain place helplessly by him. Only then did Yuan Mucheng realize that Feng Han has only one intention today.

He just wanted Yuan Mucheng to die!

-

He Xiaocai rode his horse into the ambush circle, and the arrows from the side of the road shot straight through the shrubs and leaves.Before the sound of swords and arrows colliding, all the Weiming army ambushed here poured out, but unexpectedly, the [-] soldiers from Dali behind were extremely fierce, and the fighting resounded through the sky instantly.

Unexpectedly, Yang Wansheng heard a thick voice from among the battling soldiers and horses: "One battalion can't accommodate two Yangs, let's see how your father Yang beheads you to serve him!"

Yang Ziming rode out with a long knife in his hand, and slashed at Yang Wansheng.With all the strength in Yang Ziming's body, he slashed the knife violently, but Yang Wansheng was able to dodge it, and instead led him to rush to the side of the road. The edge of the knife most likely fell on the grass and trees.

The broken leaves and branches blocked the view, Yang Wansheng's eyes were sharp, he found Yang Ziming's throat through the gap, and quickly raised the knife and dropped it there.

"Mingzi, back off!" Wu Xiao's shout sounded behind him, Yang Ziming leaned back instantly, and the next moment the cold blade swept across the tip of his nose.

The coolness refreshed his heart, Yang Ziming got up, and struck again with the saber. In an instant, there was a loud clang, Wu Xiao took the saber, and pressed it directly in front of Yang Wansheng.At the moment when the two horses crossed each other, their eyes met coldly, Wu Xiao frowned slightly, withdrew his saber and followed the horse to gallop behind Yang Wansheng.

Only a moment later, Yang Wansheng wanted to adjust his horse to catch up, but suddenly there was a bump in front of him.

The horse under his crotch was broken by the knife, and Yang Wansheng fell and rolled down. The moment the knife raised his head, a cold light hit his eyes, and the eyes froze in place in astonishment.

Wu Xiao shook off the thick blood on the knife's face, held the severed head in his hand and threw it towards He Xiao.

He Xiao caught it with a knife, lifted his head and shouted loudly: "Here is the head of Weiming Army Vice General Yang Wansheng, and all Dali soldiers present will obey orders! Anyone who surrenders will be pardoned as appropriate, and those who refuse to surrender will be killed without pardon!" "

-

The nine-section whip tied around his wrist was tightly wound, Yuan Mucheng looked around, expecting that Rao Kun was going to take him to the next ambush point, but now he was single-handed, if Rao Kun's wish had been fulfilled, he would be taken to the siege Single-handedly fighting thousands or even tens of thousands of ambush soldiers is the end of a narrow escape.

Yuan Mucheng didn't think about it anymore, he raised his whip to catch up, and pulled the steel knot that implicated the two of them to Rao Kun's neck.Yuan Mucheng's strength should not be underestimated, once he exerted his desperate strength, Rao Kun couldn't resist the strength of his throat lock, and he fell off the horse.

The nine-section whip and the sharp knife were thrown out at the same time, Rao Kun's eyes followed that place, he turned over and picked up the handle of the whip first, but Yuan Mucheng moved quickly, and at the same time he held the handle of the knife in his palm.

The steel knot tied to the knife body loosened a lot, Yuan Mucheng turned his wrist and pulled the knife, and heard a few bells, the fallen steel knot collided with the ring and fell to the ground.Seeing that the situation was not going well, Rao Kun drew the handle of the whip in his hand and charged up for a heavy blow. Yuan Mucheng didn't dare to raise his saber to block it, so he had to sideways to avoid it.

The dust raised during the beating was hard to disperse for a long time. When the sun shines on it, it is dazzling.When Yang Chen swung further, he reached out and took out the flying claw hanging from his waist, aiming at Yuan Mucheng's arm and throwing it.

The sharp claws avoided covering his shoulders and suddenly penetrated into the flesh. Yuan Mucheng was careless for a moment, and the sharp knife in his hand was tied up by the whip again. , tripped him completely, and at the same time, the flying claw retracted, the pointed end grabbed the flesh and twisted painfully, and dragged him towards Rao Kun.

"Xiao'an, as long as you live, I will live."

Jiang Shiqing's words flashed in his mind, and Yuan Mucheng's eyes widened suddenly. The strong desire to survive pierced through all doubts, and the pain in his arm and other distracting thoughts faded away.

He must not die!

The sharp claws hooked into the flesh were pulled out, Yuan Mucheng slapped the ground and stood up, grabbed the dust and threw it in front of Rao Kun's eyes.

Rao Kun couldn't prevent sand and stones from getting into his eyes, and when he tried to open his eyelids, he received a heavy punch on his cheek, and there was a fishy smell in his mouth instantly. He licked the loose teeth in his mouth, and spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm on the ground.

Unexpectedly, before he had time to straighten up, Yuan Mucheng pushed his knee to his abdomen.

Yuan Mucheng raised his knee and slammed into Rao Kun's chin. After repeating it several times, he took advantage of his dazed moment to pounce on him and crush him to the ground.Right now, he is like a mad dog, pinching Rao Kun's throat with one hand, and slamming Rao Kun's face nonstop with the other clenched fist, until the mouth of the man underneath is covered with thick blood.

There was severe pain on his cheek, and Rao Kun was furious, he raised his fist and slammed it at Yuan Mucheng's face.After the man relaxed a little, Rao Kun immediately jumped up and hugged Yuan Mucheng's waist and hit the tree trunk beside the road.

The impact was so severe that the wound on Yuan Mucheng's arm was torn, and the blood flowed profusely. When he regained consciousness, Rao Kun had picked up the nine-section whip and swung it at him.

The sharp blade of the whip struck in front of him, Yuan Mucheng turned around and jumped away, and then he heard a shout from behind: "Second master, take the knife!"

Lai Chang raised his hand and threw the sharp knife he picked up to Yuan Mucheng's side, then rode his horse and passed by Rao Kun's side quickly, taking advantage of his unpreparedness and tore away his whip head, at the same time, Gu Nan on the other side Xing went straight forward and hooked his flying claws and flung them away.

Having lost his weapon, Lai Chang snatched another end of the nine-section whip from his hand. Rao Kun didn't dare to let go. After being dragged for a few meters, he stopped by a tree trunk beside the road and pulled the handle of the whip hard, only then did he regain the whip. But it was just the moment when he pulled back the whip head, and swung it down out of the corner of his eye, Rao Kun subconsciously raised his arm to block it, and Yuan Mucheng cut a deep mark on the armguard.

He turned around and hid outside, only to see that Gu Nanxing had turned his horse's head and came straight to this side, shouting: "Feng Han's head has been chopped off, general, don't worry, reinforcements will arrive immediately!"

Rao Kun was a bit hesitant just now, and his attention was all on Gu Nanxing. Seeing the situation, Lai Chang bent over and stretched out his hand towards Yuan Mucheng, and pulled him onto the horse the moment the horse galloped by.

The horse's hooves were trampling fast, and when Rao Kun realized it, there was no room for him to catch up. Yuan Mucheng turned his head and glanced, and asked, "Is Feng Han really dead?"

Lai Chang said: "Fake, ran away, second master also believes what this guy said?"

Gu Nanxing scolded: "Fuck you, you can save your second master if I don't say that. But brother Xiao's side went well, except for Feng Han's survival, this battle can be regarded as a victory."

This battle was won, and Yuan Mucheng was the only one who lost.

When he returned to the camp, Yuan Mucheng remained silent, and he was not willing to listen to the persuasion until he finished handling the affairs briefly and went back to the tent to see the injury.

He pretended nothing happened and filled up all his time with military affairs, but Yuan Muqing's death was still a haze over the camp, so even if the victory was great, the camp would not dare to make any noise, and everyone would be unaware of it. Xuandi was silent about this.

No one knew how Yuan Mucheng spent the night. It seemed that there was no sound from the listening account, but the candles continued to light up until dawn.

On the second day, the soldiers of Yancheng managed to find this place with great difficulty, but they were stopped by Gu Nanxing and pulled aside before they entered the account.

"Tell me in advance that your general is not up."

Lai Chang happened to be sitting next to the two of them, and laughed when he heard Gu Nanxing's bluffing excuse.

The soldiers were puzzled, and turned to look at him with doubts.

Gu Nanxing gave Lai Chang a blank look, and said, "Leave him alone, his own."

The soldiers were also familiar with Gu Nanxing, so they explained everything.It turned out that the personal soldiers were trained by Yuan Mucheng because they failed to report the recent situation of the city last time. This time, the personal soldiers planned to report the recent situation of the city during the transmission of the letter.

"What happened to the city?" Gu Nanxing asked.

"Let's not talk about the other side, it's just Jiang's house, which was surrounded by people led by Song Shilang from the Ministry of War, and then ran into the house to search for people. On the day of the sacrificial ceremony, Mr. Jiang was injured by Song Shilang again. , Mr. Jiang was weak for a while, so he was carried back to the Jiang residence."

Gu Nanxing asked: "How do you do things, let him make such a fuss, your general has heard it, and he must not train you to death."

The soldiers hurriedly explained: "Master Jiang also ordered him to do so. We don't dare to take care of it, for fear of spoiling his affairs."

"What's wrong with him?" Yuan Mucheng suddenly appeared behind him, and the two were almost scared out of their wits.

"General." The soldiers hurriedly bowed their heads and knelt down to salute.

Yuan Mucheng looked solemn, and said in a deep voice, "Come to my account and clarify."

After the two left, Gu Nanxing turned his head to look at Lai Chang, and saw him staring at this place with a look of excitement on his face, knowing that he must have noticed Yuan Mucheng's arrival, but deliberately did not remind them.

"Lai Chang, you bastard." Gu Nanxing pointed at him and cursed.

Lai Chang just shrugged and smiled, turned his head and left.

On the other side, after the guards reported, Yuan Mucheng stayed alone in the tent and called He Xiao in after a long time.

"How is the military situation in Shengzhou now?" Yuan Mucheng asked.

He Xiao said: "The Weiming army that has surrendered will be included in our army, and those who have not surrendered will be dealt with by military law. The gate of Shengzhou City has been guarded by our army, and we are currently doing our best to search for the whereabouts of the Damo army."

Yuan Mucheng asked again: "What do you want to do with the Damo army after you find it?"

He Xiao replied: "It is better to take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack. According to the surrendered Weiming army, it would take a lot of energy to travel through the desert, so it is not suitable to be dragged. There are a total of 2 reinforcements as far away as Shengzhou, and [-] troops are more than enough to fight against Rao Kun. If they cannot be wiped out in one fell swoop, then push to the north and force the Dami army back into the desert to cut off their food and water."

Yuan Mucheng nodded and said, "I'm going to leave for a while, and I'll leave it to you to be in charge here. Can you do it?"

"Where is the master going?"

"Jacheng." Yuan Mucheng's voice was flat, but with an undeniable certainty.

"I want to bring Huai Chuan to my side."
