Chapter 153 Come and go like the wind, the kid on the corner of the street!
Zhu Han quickly looked around and saw that there was indeed a person fighting with Dian Wei. The man was strong and strong, holding two swords. Every blow was directed towards Dian Wei's vitals. The speed was so fast that it was dazzling for others to watch.
They all felt overwhelmed, and one can imagine that Dian Wei, who was fighting with him, was in an even more miserable situation.
Dian Wei's martial arts skills are very good, and he possesses great strength. He has the ability to fight back against ordinary people. Even those who are able to parry are very few in this world. But this person in front of him can actually fight with
Dian and Wei were equally matched in the fight, and he must have been a famous and powerful man in history.
It is not difficult to guess the identity of this person. Judging from the fact that he is in his twenties, he has a rebellious look on his face, his arms are muscular, and his feet move like the wind. He should be Zhang Yan, who is known as the "Flying Swallow".
Oh, no, Zhang Niujiao is not dead yet, he should still be called Chu Yan.
"It's rare! If I can subdue this person, then my mountain army general will be found! Unfortunately...I am now trapped in a dragon's shoal, how can I subdue such a person!"
When Zhu Han saw that he was hunting, he was thinking about recruiting Chu Yan, and at the same time lamented his current embarrassing situation.
"Bo Yun, don't worry! Such a person can't even be wiped out by the imperial officers and soldiers. He is very proud. If he wants to recruit him, at least he has to wait until you, Boyun, stand in a position where he can look up to him. By then, you won't need you.
If you take the initiative to extend an olive branch, he will come over and act as your thug!"
Xi Zhicai joked and said, "Now that you have Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, and Guan Hai, isn't it enough? If those wealthy families know that you actually have three powerful generals under your command, I don't know how much they will envy you!"
"Then Ju Yi, Pan Feng, Wen Chou, and Yan Liang are also pretty good! What a pity, compared with the aristocratic families, people don't look down on us!"
Thinking of the fierce people he had come into contact with in the past, Zhu Han once again lamented the harshness of the world. After all, he knew that the other person was a master, but he didn't use it for himself. The feeling was like walking on the street and seeing beauties all over the street.
There is spring and autumn, flowers are blooming, but they are not his Zhu Han's cup of tea. He can only look at them but not have them. This is a kind of torture for a man.
"You, you, be careful of your inadequacy! You have experienced the losses caused by ostentation, but you still look like you don't care about fighting. What can I tell you about you?"
Xi Zhicai shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said angrily.
"Haha, shouldn't I relieve the tense atmosphere around me? Look, the bandit is about to die!"
During this conversation, the two sides fighting in the outer camp were gradually showing signs of fatigue. After all, after half an hour of fighting, everyone would be tired. With the addition of three fierce generals, the army's position was stabilized.
They began to show their talents gradually. The more they fought, the more impressive they became, and their cooperation became more and more tacit. On the other hand, the bandits were still fighting on their own, and the balance of victory began to tilt slowly towards the official army. However, if we want
Defeating the bandits may require a heavy blow to their weak point, and that seven-inch point lies with Chu Yan, who is fighting Dian Wei.
"That person must be Chu Yan! Whether this battle is won or lost depends on Dian Wei!"
After hearing this, Xi Zhicai once again turned his attention to the battlefield. Now the army has gradually taken the initiative on the battlefield, and the bandits are no longer as brave as before. The offensive is blocked, morale is naturally low, and there are many casualties.
Even those who are used to big scenes will be shaken. This is understandable. Many people looked at Dian Wei and Chu Yan who were fighting, because the turning point of the battle was in this fight.
If Chu Yan wins, the morale of the bandits will be high. No one in the army can suppress their arrogance. Even if they can defend until dawn, they will probably have to pay a heavy price. On the contrary, if Dian Wei wins, the bandits will be crushed.
The last straw for morale, the morale of the officers and soldiers will inevitably rise, and the bandits will undoubtedly be defeated.
Dian Wei's martial arts skills can be regarded as that of a handful of people who stood at the top of the pyramid in the late Han Dynasty. Whether it was physical strength, endurance, strength, etc., he was at his peak. Chu Yan was naturally no match. The two fought for thirty years.
After a round, Chu Yan was defeated and had to retreat in defeat. After seeing this, the other bandits dared not stay any longer, and they all shouted, "The wind is tight!"
The bandits came and ran away just as fast! Before Zhu Han could react, they all ran out of the outer camp and walked away. On the other hand, the government and army, since the bandits escaped, had tried their best to escape.
He fell to the ground and greedily breathed in the air of the rest of his life. How could he still have the strength to pursue the bandits?
"Lord, our troops suffered casualties in this battle..."
After Zhang Liao hastily counted the casualties on the battlefield, he hurried to Zhu Han to report. However, before he could say anything, Zhu Han stretched out his hand and interrupted him. Zhu Han looked at those lying on the ground resting with their arms and legs spread out.
The officers and soldiers said with some hatred: "The casualty figures will be reported later. Now your top priority is to clean the battlefield and appease the soldiers! Look at what they look like, ugh!"
"promise!"
Zhang Liao quickly took the order and left.
Xi Zhi on the side saw that Zhu Han had just issued such an order after the war, and immediately held his forehead and smiled bitterly, but he did not say anything to dissuade him, and just stood there silently.
"Let's go! Let's go see our captain!"
After winning the first battle, Zhu Han felt very happy and took Xi Zhicai with him and walked towards the Chinese army's tent.
After meeting with Ji Chou, both parties had a tacit understanding not to mention anything else except the war. Ji Chou also publicly stated that he would ask for credit for Zhu Han.
In this battle, Zhu Han's 500 men suffered a total of more than 60 casualties. Most of them were new soldiers recruited on the eve of leaving Jingxian County. The bandits also lost more than 100 people. Afterwards, a summary of the battle was made. The reason was that
When he was new to the battlefield, the soldiers were afraid and lacked training. For this reason, Zhu Han severely criticized Zhang Liao, and then spent his own money to feed his soldiers a feast in Shiyi.
On this day, Zhu Han and his party finally arrived at Yuanshi City.
Liu Hao was surprised that Zhu Han's team was still so large, but he still enthusiastically invited Ji Chou into the palace. How could Ji Chou refuse the old prince's warm invitation, but Zhu Han did
Not giving Liu Hao a good look, he refused Liu Hao's kindness on the grounds that the garrison could not leave the general. Liu Hao did not force it, and just arranged for Zhu Han and his subordinates to stay in the military camp for a while.
Pay attention.
Zhu Han, who was bored, also wanted to see what other counties were like except Jingxian County. He left Zhang Liao to lead the team and handed over to the people in the military camp, then took Dian Wei Xizhicai to go shopping.
Yuanshi City is backed by the Taihang Mountains. Most of the buildings in the city are made of stone. Most of the goods bought and sold by the people are delicacies. Although the prosperity is not as prosperous as that of plain counties like Jingxian County, it is still decent.
"Boyun, what do you want to see?"
While beating his sore back, Xi Zhicai complained: "We have just arrived. Judging from Ji Chou's condition, we will have to stay for at least a few days. We will have plenty of time to go shopping in the future! How about we find a wine shop?
Have a little drink to relieve your fatigue?"
"Okay! But you have to walk around the city first. At least you need to have a rough idea of the layout of the streets and houses and the direction of the city gates, right?"
Zhu Han grinned and replied.
"kindness?"
Xi Zhicai didn't expect that Zhu Han still had this intention, so he laughed and scolded: "It seems that after this period of hard work, your kid's skills have improved!"
"That's right! I listen to you nagging next to me all day long. Even if I can't remember it, I still have to have an impression, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it embarrass you, the master?"
Zhu Han chuckled and replied, but his eyes were looking around. When he passed an alley, he suddenly stopped and his eyes were attracted by the situation in the alley.
"What's wrong?"
Xi Zhi took a few steps forward and saw Zhu Han not following him, so he quickly turned around and asked.
"It's okay, just take a look!"
Zhu Han pursed his lips toward the alley, signaling everyone not to speak loudly.
Xi Zhicai turned around and saw that there was a dead end at the end of the alley. Inside, an eight or nine-year-old child was fighting a few wild dogs. The child had unkempt hair, ragged clothes, and a dirty little face.
, he held a gnawed chicken leg in one hand and a wooden stick in the other. It seemed that the wild dogs took a fancy to the chicken leg in the child's hand and surrounded him.
The kid wasn't going to give up either.
For some reason, the child's eyes made Zhu Han feel a little nervous. It was a kind of indifference to life. At this time, there were some claw marks on his body, and a trace of blood flowed out, but there was no change in the child's expression. He
Always keep a vigilant eye on the wild dogs in front of you.
"It's interesting! Come on, let's go drink!"
Zhu Han glanced around and saw that there happened to be a wine shop on the street behind him, and the entrance to the lobby could see what was happening in the alley. He immediately called everyone to the wine shop to rest for a while.
Zhu Han was dressed in white, accompanied by Dian Wei, a villain, and Xi Zhicai, who was dressed as a scribe. As soon as they entered the door, a waiter immediately came up to greet them, "Sir, do you plan to stay in a hotel or have a meal?"
Zhu Han ignored the waiter and walked directly to the table with the best view of the alley. He smiled at the people eating and said, "Everyone, can you give me this table?"
Those people were drinking happily at first, but when they saw someone trying to grab the position, they became a little angry. But when they saw Dian Wei's majestic body, they shuddered and gave up their position aggrievedly.
"Haha, I'm not a domineering person. I've paid for the food on your table. Feel free to eat and drink. It's considered an apology to you!"
Seeing someone paying the bill, the group also lost their temper and kept saying to Zhu Han, 'It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter!'.
Zhu Han sat down and looked into the alley again.
At this time, the wild dogs could no longer hold back and rushed towards the child. The child was not in a hurry, raised a wooden stick and hit the black dog that barked the most ferociously, and attacked the other dogs.
He didn't care about him and just beat the black dog.
"Uncle, what do you want to eat?"
When the waiter saw that Zhu Han was rich and wealthy, his waist was bent even lower, so he came closer and said flatteringly.
"Who is that doll?"
Zhu Han pointed to the alley and asked, "Why didn't you take care of it? What should I do if I was bitten by a dog?"
"He?"
The waiter followed Zhu Han's hand and looked at it. He was stunned at first, and then smiled nonchalantly: "Uncle, I don't know. The child is an orphan. He looks for food on the street every day. That alley is his residence. When he met
If you are kind-hearted, you might be able to get some food like today. If you are unlucky, you will be hungry for several days. But there is something wrong with this baby. He doesn't want what you give him, and he would rather pick up things on the ground to eat.
!Do you think it’s strange? Our shopkeeper also noticed that this little kid has a bit of backbone, and every time he would let us deliberately leave some of the food we had eaten at the entrance of the alley. Our shopkeeper was kind-hearted and often helped him! Otherwise,
He is long dead!"
"Oh? Is there such a thing? What's his name?"
At this time, the battle in the alley was over. The child successfully kept the chicken legs in his hands, while the wild dogs fled one after another. Only the leading black dog was beaten to the ground by him, and he was about to die.
Too happy.
"Oh, what a disaster! I'm afraid that child will suffer a lot!"
The waiter obviously saw the black dog that was about to be beaten to death and screamed in shock.
