The night was so dark that you couldn't see or hear anything. It was as if your five senses had been ruthlessly deprived by death... I don't know when, there seemed to be a faint roar in the wind.
The sound was looming, as if it was there but not there. Then, the sound got louder and louder, just like the rising tide of the sea, from far to near, unstoppable, and finally a huge roar swept over the sky and circled the mountains.
Empty valley, dense forest...
Yang Aruo suddenly opened his eyes, and his original pure temperament immediately changed, as if there was a little more impurity. He looked down at the black knife in his hand, tightened the handle of the knife, and gently pulled out half a foot, only to see a black light suddenly appear,
There seemed to be black air rushing out of the scabbard, and the air temperature suddenly dropped sharply. All the close friends around felt a chill on their necks, and shivered involuntarily.
This knife was obtained from the Yellow Turban Marshal Bo Cai. It can cut gold and jade, cut iron like clay, and is extremely sharp. My old friend Chen Biao, whose family has been a good craftsman for generations, has been making soldiers for a long time. He once said that this knife always has a sad and sad look, and the reason is unknown.
, is something that hinders the Lord, and was taken from a dead person, so he was advised to give up as soon as possible to avoid disaster. Yang Aruo flatly refused, saying boldly, "My fate is up to me and not up to God." From then on, he relied on this black sword to fight in the battle formation.
During this time, he was destroyed and destroyed, and everything was going to his disadvantage, but after a few years, he was still treading water.
"Are you really a knife that hinders the master?" Yang Aruo slowly dragged it until it was more than a foot away, then stopped, staring at the blade entangled with black energy, and asked silently in his heart.
"Qiang" Yang Aruo looked solemn, returned the knife to its sheath, propped it on the ground, and stood up suddenly.
"I have no control over my fate." Yang Aruo once again made the vow he had made in his heart. "No matter whether you are a knife that hinders the master or not, since I have accepted you, then you will follow me and spread your name throughout the world.
Leave a name in history."
"Zhonglang..." All the military princes and village commanders spoke one after another.
"Prepare for war..."
"promise"
Yang A'ruo stretched out his right hand and gently stroked his beloved horse's cheek. The big black head shook its big head and rubbed against the owner's palm, causing a snort. Yang A'ruo moved a few steps sideways and took out a terrifying mask with green faces and fangs from the quiver on the side of the saddle.
"How long has it been since you wore this mask?" Yang Aruo said with a complicated expression. There are two major foreign forces in Beidi County. One is to eliminate the Qiang, and the other is to massacre the Hu. The former was impressed by Gai Jun and acted like a dog and horse.
The Conqueror Restlessness contributed the most to Gai Jun's rise to power in Heshuo. The latter was simply exterminated by Gai Jun and disappeared into the long river of history. They were not the first foreign race to disappear, and they would never be the last.
A. In addition, the Xianbei people, the overlords of the grasslands, also invaded the Northland. As a result, the heads of the king and Lian remained in the Han Dynasty forever.
In the past few years that Yang Aruo has been guarding the Northland, it would be wrong to say that there has been no war at all. The mighty Qiang and Hu in the surrounding area have become less stable, and even the Hu and Qiang outside the Great Wall are greedy, despicable and unruly, and there is always unrest within the territory. But
However, there has never been a battle involving more than ten thousand people on both sides. Moreover, the opponents are mostly scattered and disorderly. It is almost impossible for Yang Aruo to take any action personally. He can defeat the enemy and force him to surrender with just one or two men under his command.
"Is there anyone in the world who knows that ghosts are abundant?" Yang A'ruo slowly put on his ghost face. Yang A'ruo's real name is Yang Feng. He was a ranger when he was young. He often fought with people in the streets. Because of his handsome appearance, he was not enough to scare the enemy, so he invited Qiang friends.
, begged for a ghost mask worn by the Qiang people when offering sacrifices to gods, and then when fighting with others, they must wear the mask, so they were nicknamed "Ghost Feng". This was originally just a name in Jiuquan, but as Yang Aruo joined the Gai army, he went east to Kanto.
, Bo Cai, the Yellow Turban marshal who was killed in battle, had the courage of ghosts and gods, and the name Gui Feng gradually became known.
Behind Yang Aruo were thousands of cavalry from his own army, from the army marquis to the camp commander, and everyone wore ghost masks. This was a ghost army with a lot of ghosts.
"Boom, boom... boom, boom..." The sound of horse hooves became more and more fierce, and a big scarlet snake was seen, meandering from south to north.
A rough estimate showed that the enemy's number was around three to four thousand. Yang Aruo nodded with some satisfaction. The enemy's number was almost the same as that of Yingyang Camp, no more, no less, just right. With more people, our side could only defeat them, but could not annihilate them all.
If the number of people is small, Han Sui will not be able to be beaten painfully. After eating these three or four thousand horses, Han Sui should feel some physical pain...
"Quick...quick...quick..."
"The food-burning thieves are just ahead..."
"accelerate……"
In the blink of an eye, the snakeheads arrived, but they didn't pay much attention to the dense forests and hillsides on both sides, because they had already seen the enemy, just a few miles away. The hundreds of torches were very dazzling in the dark night, so they quickly chased after them.
Got on…….
"Boom, boom... boom, boom..." Groups of coalition cavalry galloped past, rushing into the distance. Soon the coalition army was over half. After all, Zhang Heng was a veteran of Xiliang and was an experienced soldier. When he watched from a distance, he still didn't realize what was going on.
But when he passed by this place and frequently scanned the dense forests and hillsides to the left and right, his face gradually became serious, and a look of suspicion appeared in his eyes. Then Zhang Heng smiled to himself again, secretly laughing that he was too cautious. Could it be that the other party had eaten the ambitious leopard?
How dare you set up an ambush in enemy territory?
Although Zhang Heng did not believe that the enemy dared to set up an ambush, he did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he ordered his cavalry to go deep into the dense forests on the left and right to find out what was going on.
Seeing this, Yang A'ruo sighed slightly. The enemy general was not a mediocre person. It seemed that it was impossible to annihilate them all. At that moment, he drew out a long sword as black as ink from his right arm, raised it high, and then fiercely
Chopping hard.
“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot …” The charging horns broke through the thunderous sound of horse hooves in an instant. First from the west side, then from the east side, both sides sounded, echoing each other, forming a chorus, passionate and exciting.
Long.
There really is an ambush...
Zhang Heng's expression changed drastically, and the expressions of the coalition cavalry changed drastically...
Two black lines quickly sprang out of the jungle, like two goshawks that had been hiding for a long time. They spread their wings and pounced straight at them. They were fast and accurate, trying to cut the huge red python in front of them into three pieces.
"Ah..." A coalition cavalryman on the outside had strong eyes. He had vaguely seen the enemy galloping in the distance, and he opened his mouth and let out an earth-shattering scream.
"Ghost..." I don't know if this cavalryman wanted to say he saw a ghost, or if he wanted to say that he had seen a ghost. Unfortunately, he only said one word. The next moment, he was hit by a cold black light on the side of his neck and his head.
Accompanied by blood, it shot high into the night sky, and until death, there was a trace of unsolvable fear in his eyes. What terrible scene did he see?
"Ahhhh..."
"Ghost..."
"devil……"
The reason why fear is terrible is that it is easily contagious. The exclamations of the companions completely frightened everyone, and they were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders were split. They were confused and dumbfounded on the spot, as if they were not facing human beings, but an army crawling from hell.
The demon legion that appeared, not only attacked, but also fought back. For a moment, they even forgot to dodge and let the knives in the hands of the "devils" rain down on them.
Not everyone in the army was panicked. There were some who were bold and frightened, some who were calm-minded, and some who did not respect ghosts and gods. It was clear to see that these people shouted loudly: "Ying Yang Camp...
"Ghost Army..." "It's Guifeng..."
However, after all, there are only a few people like this, not to mention that the Yingyang camp rushed into the formation with their swords and swords slashing and stabbing them, causing the coalition officers and soldiers to fall on their backs and collapse into a rout. In addition, the sky was dark and the scene was extremely chaotic. The coalition soldiers had no time to think about anything.
Guifeng, the ghost army, they only know that they can't defeat the devil no matter what...
A ray of black light faintly carried the sound of a sad and shrill whistle, cutting across the sky horizontally. There were three muffled sounds of "Puff", "Puff" and "Puff". The three human heads slid down their shoulders with blood smoothly and naturally, as if the two of them were not supposed to be in the first place.
Together, when it falls to the ground, it will be trampled to pieces by many horse hooves in an instant. Is this its true fate?...
The sharpness of the black knife was truly unparalleled. Yang Aruo took back his beloved knife and quickly passed by the three headless horsemen.
A soldier faced him, facing Gui Feng, without any fear, like a brave person, but he stabbed with a sword. Yang Aruo's knife tip went straight down, the blade turned and rushed away, then he whipped up, and the black horse flew out, diagonally.
Cut off the iron rod and hit the knight's chest. At this moment, the iron armor worn by the knight seemed to be made of paper. From the right waist to the left shoulder, it scattered all over the ground with a "crash", and blood gushed out from the chest like a waterfall.
, horse heads, horse necks, and horse backs were poured everywhere, and screams exploded.
Yang Aruo's eyes hidden behind the mask showed a hint of admiration. This soldier was the first person to take action before him. He was a powerful soldier. It was so pathetic to make him die in pain. It was worthy of him to take action again.
, give him a good time. When the two horses passed each other, Yang Aruo raised his arms and swept past them without looking. His screams stopped immediately.
Successfully cutting off the coalition forces, Yang Arruo's thousand men were immediately divided into two. One of them was led by a military lord, and started disemboweling him from south to north, hoping to engage in a pincer attack with the Chaoyue Division to completely annihilate the encirclement.
The enemy. And Yang Aruo led hundreds of cavalry from north to south. His purpose was extremely clear. The only one he wanted to kill was the leader of the thief. Now the leader of the thief, who was wearing a bright helmet and surrounded by armored guards, was
I can still see clearly that the two sides are only a few hundred steps apart, and they are here in the blink of an eye.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
The swords were being used one after another, and the swords were broken against each other, and the swords were broken against each other, and the people were broken when they were touched. There really was no one who could combine them. Hundreds of ghost troops used Yang Aruo as their spearhead, and charged forward wildly. The allied officers and soldiers were as if they were being killed quickly.
The waves cut by the ship fled to both sides.
"Gui Feng..." Zhang Heng looked at the ghost army coming towards him as if entering an uninhabited land. The target was obviously him. His face could not help but freeze, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He never expected that the target was himself.
As the commander of the tens of thousands of troops on the left flank of the Gai army, Yang Aruo actually led thousands of light cavalry to cross the river in person and penetrate deep into the enemy territory...
It’s no wonder that he couldn’t accept it. For example, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi, Qu Sheng, Dong Yue, Niu Fu and other coalition commanders, and even himself, would not rashly run to the other side to cause trouble for the Gai army.
.
"Zhonglang..." Seeing Zhang Heng stunned, a general called out urgently.
Zhang Hengkan came back to his senses, turned to look at the general, and subconsciously held the sword at his waist with his right arm. He wanted to pull it out, but he hesitated. How many people are there on the other side? Yang Aruo is the commander-in-chief of a party after all.
There will not be less than two or three thousand riders. We have more people, but not more than a few. What's more, the army has been cut into several sections and is in a melee. It is difficult to care about the beginning and the end. The so-called numerical advantage is not mentioned. He is now
There are probably more than a thousand people riding behind him but less than two thousand. How many people are Yang Arruo leading to kill him? It is difficult to estimate, but it is estimated that it is not more than a thousand...
Give it a try? You may not necessarily lose...
Or is taking the best option?
"Zhonglang..." The general yelled again, everyone was impatient. Whether to fight or to retreat, it was decided with one word. How could Zhang Heng have time to be in a daze?
"You bitch, you're yelling at your mother, I'm not deaf." Zhang Hengheng raised his eyebrows and slapped the general's face with a big ear scraper, causing the right side of his face to swell up.
Although Zhang Heng became angry due to shame, it was undeniable that the general's roar completely woke him up. He stared at the enemy cavalry and Gui Feng who was rushing at the front, and said fiercely in his heart: "Yang Aruo, you are famous in Xiliang Big, but how can I be an incompetent person? Since you want to take my head, wouldn't it be rude if I don't return the favor?" Thinking of this, Zhang Heng slowly and firmly pulled out the long knife with his right hand, pointed far ahead, and said to the left and right. Said: "Blow the trumpet and charge to kill anyone who beheads Yang Aruo. Situ Han will not begrudge the princes, fame and wealth, and kill him right in front of his eyes..."
These words passed through the mouth of Zhang Heng's personal guards and quickly spread throughout the battlefield. Although the allied cavalry were afraid of Gui Feng's name, they were also said to be very tempted. Who is Yang A'ruo? He is the brother-in-law of the hussar general Gai Jun. , the only brother-in-law, his head is certainly worthy of the heavenly reward from Han Sui. Gui Feng has a reputation of being brave and is called a ghost god, so what? Even if he really has three heads and six arms, he will definitely not be able to withstand the siege from all sides. Who can say that he can kill him? Isn’t the first person himself?
As a result, morale improved a little...
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
Since the beginning of the war, the coalition forces have sounded the clarion call for attack for the first time.
"Whoever beheads Yang Aruo, Situ Han will not begrudge the princes..."
"Whoever beheads Yang Aruo, Situ Han will not begrudge the princes..."
"..." Yang Aruo was always called "Aruo". Hearing the other party's shouting, his eyes suddenly turned cold. The knife in his hand came out like wind, as fast as lightning, slashing left and right, and the front was even harder to hit. There are hundreds of steps in it. Hearing this, he was also furious and followed Yang Arruo closely. The entire cone-shaped attack formation suddenly sharpened by three points and killed the coalition forces in front of him, howling like ghosts and wolves, and scattered in all directions.
Zhang Heng led his army to besiege Gui Feng, but he did not go out in person, but quietly hid behind.
At that time, Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, led tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry and stationed in Jincheng, hoping to engage in a decisive battle with the Liangzhou army. Unfortunately, this man did not have the charm of his ancestor Geng Yan. Han Gong used some tricks to kill his people and merge with his army. The army was accompanying them, but Yan He, the father of the heroic general Yan Xing, failed to make a sneak attack and was killed by Huang Zhong. Huang Zhongnai led his troops to break out. Ma Wan was greedy for great achievements and insisted on chasing, but Zhang Heng could not shirk him. As long as he followed him, he did not want Huang Zhong to set up an ambush on the road. Ah... Just like today's story. This is why he became suspicious as soon as he arrived at this kind of terrain. He had learned a painful lesson.
Huang Zhong had the most courage in the world, but Zhang Heng only had one fight and ended up vomiting blood and running away. Ma Wan relied on his own bravery and did not believe in evil, and was finally stabbed in the head by Huang Zhong. In one day, fierce generals like Yan He, Ma Wan and Zhang were defeated. Heng himself was hit by another blow and vomited blood, leaving an indelible shadow in his heart. From then on, he never fought in person. In order to avoid gossip saying that he was timid, Zhang Heng began to read military books and strategies, and started from just one person. The fierce man who knew how to lead troops to charge successfully transformed into a well-commanded general. This move was greatly appreciated by Han Sui, and his prestige in the army became higher and higher day by day, almost not letting Liang Xing, Cheng Yi, Qu Sheng and others ..
However, seeing groups of cavalry attacking and then disintegrating, Yang Aruo led his troops to kill the generals. Zhang Heng realized that all the military advice he had in mind was of no use at this moment. Now he only had
The two choices were either to go out and quarrel with Gui Feng in person, or to run away while there was still some distance between the two parties.
In the flash of lightning, Zhang Heng made a decision, turned his horse's head, and fled...
Guifeng's bravery is not inferior to that of Huang Zhong, but his martial arts is somewhat neglected. It is not difficult to guess the outcome of the fight between the two. Maybe he can withstand three or five rounds? Maybe he can withstand seven or eight rounds? Anyway, no matter how many rounds he resists, his head will definitely move.
.Zhang Heng had not lived enough, so he chose to retreat.
As soon as Zhang Heng left, his troops followed him, and the rest of the cavalry also fled and dispersed. Yang Aruo defeated most of them, took a deep look at the direction Zhang Heng fled, did not pursue him, and turned around to fight back at the remaining coalition forces.
.In fact, Liu Diao, Chaosheng here has entered the final stage. After all, attacking from both sides and using the masses to defeat the few will surely lead to a quick victory.
"In this battle, almost a thousand people were beheaded, four to five hundred prisoners, and seven to eight hundred horses." Chaosheng, covered in blood, came to Yang Aruo with a head in his hand. He first reported the general results of the battle, and then shook his head in his hand.
He said: "This guy is a two thousand stone captain, and I killed him."
Yang Aruo's eyebrows furrowed slightly. The opponent had three to four thousand cavalry, but he captured almost half of them. It should be said that the results were remarkable. However, one must know that his plan before the war was to completely annihilate the enemy army. Unfortunately, Zhang Heng was vigilant, causing the plan to go bankrupt.
Full credit.
"Zhonglang, those prisoners..." Liu Tiao came on horseback. He had a square face with a scar across the bridge of his nose, extending from his left eyebrow to his right cheek. His eyes were like copper bells, and the kernels of his eyes were yellow. The whole person looked like
Very vicious.
Chaosheng said: "This is a silly question, kill them all..."
Liu Tiao's pale yellow eyes moved towards Chaosheng and said: "Who asked you to interrupt, kid? Are you looking for death?"
"Try..." Chaosheng said with disdain on his face.
Liu Tiao laughed angrily and said, "Are you pretending to be a show off to me? When I was marching wildly among the Qiang people with the hussar generals, you were still wearing crotchless trousers."
Chaosheng said sarcastically: "You can only brag about your seniority. You have fought for so many years to become a captain. I feel ashamed for you..."
"..." Yang Aruo frowned even more tightly. The two of them were the most trusted generals under his command, but they had incompatible personalities. With him suppressing them, the two of them would not abandon their official duties for personal reasons, and they would not be so incompatible with each other.
There is great resentment, but quarreling is unavoidable, which is really a headache. Yang Aruo looked at the eastern sky for a long time, and saw Chaosheng, Liu Tiao was still bickering, and said: "Since you two can still bicker, you still have some energy left.
