Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 374

Guan Ning's army and the cavalry of the Heluo New Army were like driving bumper cars. You hit me and I hit you. The cavalry of the Heluo New Army tried every means to get rid of these troublemakers. Guan Ning's army refused to give in and tried every means to create things for them. Obstacles, Heluo's new army was furious, but there was nothing they could do.Under the entanglement of Guan Ning's army, the lancers of the Heluo New Army lost their blade-like sharpness, and their speed inevitably slowed down. Both sides were cursing, but they almost didn't make a move.

Kong Youde was overjoyed when he saw this, and took the opportunity to kick the horse's belly with spurs, causing the horse's belly to be dripping with blood. The painful horse went berserk immediately, racing like crazy, and even threw the pursuer who was biting behind him a hundred paces away.Seeing this, Wu Sangui and Cao Jun cried out inwardly. Although they wanted to fight for merit, they never thought of letting this bastard go. They didn't care about continuing to intrigue, and each led a few cavalrymen to pursue them fiercely.Unfortunately, it was too late, Kong Youde laughed loudly: "Want to catch me? In the next life!" He stabbed the horse's hip with force, the horse hissed wildly, and rushed towards a two-foot-high soil slope by the river like a cannonball. Then all four hooves flew into the air, and the man and his horse jumped into the rolling torrent, splashing Lao Gao with water.When Cao Jun and Wu Sangui both caught up, they only saw a war horse flapping in the turbid current, and Kong Youde couldn't even find his shadow.

The cooked duck just flew away. Cao Jun was so angry that he glared at Wu Sangui, gritted his teeth and said, "General Wu, should you give us an explanation?"

Wu Sangui's face was also livid, and he said, "If you hadn't been pestering me, we would have captured Kong Youde a long time ago! You just wait to be dealt with by the military law!"

Cao Jun said angrily: "You are the ones who are entangled! We have already caught up with Kong Youde, and you insist on rushing out to make a mess!"

Wu Sangui sneered: "So what? If I can't get it, no one else can get it!" Ignoring Cao Jun, he turned to Guan Ning's cavalry and said, "The thief can't run very far, and half of the men will cross the river to get there." Go to the other bank, we will search together along the two banks, and dig three feet to find him! This great achievement can only be done by me!"

All the cavalrymen of Guanning agreed one after another, surrounded Wu Sangui like stars holding the moon, and galloped downstream.

Cao Jun stared at Wu Sangui's flamboyant back with hatred, and spit out angrily. The anger was stuck in his chest and there was nowhere to vent. He raised his strong bow, drew the bow and set an arrow, shot three arrows into the river, and let out a roar , and then led the Lancers back.He has no interest in continuing to search for Kong Youde, not to mention that the hope is very slim, even if he can find it, it will be very difficult for him to capture and kill Kong Youde under the disturbance of the Guan Ning army, and continuing to search is purely a waste of effort.

This was the first time that the Heluo New Army "cooperated" with the Guan Ning Army of Wu Xiang's group. The result of "cooperation" proves that Yang Menglong hates Wu Xiang for no reason. In the Battle of Dalinghe last year, the Wuyang Army cooperated well with the ancestral Guan Ning Army, displaying the prestige of the Ming Army. The cooperation related to Ningjun made Heluo New Army furious.

Kong Youde escaped, but Li Jiuzheng was not as lucky as him, and the Heluo New Army was still chasing him.The saddest thing is that he didn't have the Guan Ning army to rescue him.On the contrary, a Ming army cavalry rushed over to try to pick peaches, but Yang Menglong made a gesture, and Zhong Ning led [-] cavalrymen to chase in another direction, while chasing and rushing forward, more than a dozen rebel cavalry roared repeatedly. : "Li Jiuzheng, where did you escape!?" Immediately brought those idiots over.Yang Menglong continued to chase with his personal guards and about [-] chasseurs.Li Jiuzheng complained endlessly. These cavalry hunters rode Liaodong warhorses or Mongolian iron hoof horses with excellent explosive power and endurance. Their speed was far lower than their second-rate warhorses.The worst thing is that there is a flat plain ahead, not even a forest, where can he escape?
The hunting cavalry didn't care where Li Jiuzheng could escape. Under the shouts of the officers, these fierce and powerful light-armored flying knights raised their arms and raised their crossbows, aiming at the fleeing rebels. They fired coldly, and the powerful crossbows fired. , the rebels screamed and fell down from their horses one after another, dying.Li Jiuzheng shot an arrow in the back, but failed to hit the target. Instead, he caught a deadly crossbow arrow and hit the horse's leg. There were stars in his eyes, and he almost vomited blood.The Chasseurs cheered loudly: "Li Jiuzheng can't run away!" They urged their horses to rush over.

Li Jiuzheng's eyes turned black, and he couldn't distinguish east from west, north from south, but the last dozen servants around him knew how dangerous the situation was, and shouted in unison: "Marshal!" They turned their horses with all their strength and moved closer to Li Jiuzheng.The chasseurs fired their crossbows and arrows, and shot half of them down. Yang Menglong took the lead and rushed towards Li Jiuzheng with his horse straightened. Li Jiuzheng's servants seemed to believe that he was the supreme commander of the chasing troops, yelling at him Charged over, the first one was tall and tall, his body was comparable to Xu Meng's, and he swung a big ax, making a thunderous roar, and slashed at Yang Menglong with all his might.Yang Menglong shouted: "Good time!" With both legs controlling the horse, Hei Feng sprinted with all his strength, reaching an astonishing speed of more than forty kilometers per hour, as fast as lightning, as the two riders staggered, Yang Menglong's horse stabbed out quickly and fiercely, poof With a bang, the incomparably sharp lance pierced through the big man's armor, with the front chest in and the back out. The powerful impact stretched the lance into a bow shape, and the big ax was two or three meters away from Yang Menglong... Woolen cloth!One inch long and one inch strong, it is perfect for riding battles.The strong elasticity of the spear knocked the big man off the horse, and he fell into the dust, spitting blood. Yang Menglong couldn't care about him, because at the same time he stabbed the big man, a saber turned into a ghost. A cold light hit his face, the target was his head!Yang Menglong leaned back violently, the saber brushed past the tip of his nose, the cold blade made his hairs stand on end.The famous Jia Ding missed his first blow, and before he could make a second attack, the two horses had already passed by. Then, there was a gust of wind from the back of his head, and the egg-thick lance was whipped fiercely like a whip, hitting him right in the middle. The right rib, the ribs were all broken.The unlucky child spurted out a mouthful of blood. Before he could utter a scream, his neck felt cold, a saber fluttered past his neck, and his head swirled along the edge of the blade and flew out. blood rain...

Li Jiuzheng managed to capture the three souls and seven souls back, and got up.His forehead was broken, blood flowed all over his face, his helmet fell off, his hair was loose, and he was in a mess.The embarrassed commander tried his best to widen his blood-smeared eyes, looked around, and was horrified to find that none of his subordinates could stand still.He searched painstakingly, tried his best to win over, and hoped that those servants who would come in handy to save his life at the critical moment were either strung together in a row by two horses, or their heads were chopped off by a saber, and two of them had their neck arteries and veins severed. The trachea was struggling on the ground holding the blood-spitting wound, choking out balls of blood foam from the wound, and it seemed that he would not survive.Dozens of knights in black stood around, staring at him with cold eyes, like a group of hungry wolves coveting a fat pig.

The weapons in their hands are still bleeding.

Yang Menglong pointed at Li Jiuzheng with a lance, and asked, "Are you Li Jiuzheng?"

Li Jiuzheng had a fierce look in his eyes: "It's your grandfather!"

Xu Gong was furious: "Brave traitor, how dare you be so rude when you are about to die!?"

Li Jiuzheng laughed wildly: "Death is imminent? I am indeed imminent, but I have been in Jiaodong for nearly a year. I have killed countless people and slept with countless women. It is worth it, it has been worth it a long time ago! I... ..."

Deng!
A metallic trill turned his wild laughter into a pig-killing scream. A crossbow arrow shot at close range, pierced his shoulder blades, passed through his body, and a line of blood sprayed out an elbow away before landing on the ground. , the knife in his hand fell to the ground, clutching the wound and trembling with pain.Yang Menglong raised his arms and stretched his crossbow, and said, "Dude, don't cross me in front of me, or you will definitely regret it!"

Li Jiuzheng's face was distorted, and he yelled, "You bastard, you——"

In response to Li Jiucheng's wild scream, there was another metallic trembling sound.Yang Menglong took the loaded crossbow handed over by Xu Gong, used it on Li Jiucheng's left shoulder to pull the crossbow, and penetrated his left shoulder again with a thud.Li Jiuzheng is a little busy now. Blood is splattered on both shoulders and he can't even cover it up.The rebel warrior roared: "You bastard, kill me if you dare!"

Yang Menglong said: "I will kill you, but the process is a bit slow... I will use a weak crossbow to shoot arrows at you one by one until I turn you into a hedgehog!" A hunter handed over a crossbow, and with a swishing arrow, Li Jiuzheng's left leg was pierced through. This rebellious hero could no longer hold on, and knelt on one knee on the ground, trembling all over.Like the one-eyed Xiahou, there are only a few fierce generals who pull out the arrows in the eyes and the eyeballs, and then swallow the eyeballs. At least Li Jiuzheng does not have this ability. He was so painful that tears came out after only a few arrows.Seeing that Yang Menglong raised his arms for the fourth time and the arrowhead was pointing at his crotch, he couldn't help but his liver and gallbladder were torn, and he couldn't care about face anymore. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "The villain knows it's wrong, the general!" Forgive me, General, forgive me!"

Yang Menglong's eyes left Wangshan, and looked at the bloody wretch with great interest: "Curse, why don't you scold?"

Li Jiuzheng cried out in a crying voice: "The villain has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, doesn't know the power of the general, and offends the general, damn it, damn it!" He wanted to slap his mouth hard to prove his repentance, but the two His hands hurt so badly that he couldn't move. He knelt down on both knees and walked all the way to Yang Menglong's horse, crying with tears and snot in his nose: "My lord, this villain is loyal to the court and wholeheartedly kills the enemy and serves the country!" Look at the wounds on the villain's body, all the scars are left over from the fight with Jiannu! It's the two despicable villains, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, who rebelliously coerced the villain, and the villain was killed. Forced to become a rebel, the villain has never thought of rebelling!"

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Yang Menglong couldn't help losing his appetite, and Xu Gong even scolded directly: "Li Jiuzheng, you still have to be shameless!?"

Li Jiuzheng turned a deaf ear to the taunting and scolding of the chasseurs, but just hugged Hei Feng's leg tightly, begging bitterly: "General, the villain is in Cao Ying's heart, not only did he not give any advice to the bandits, He also carefully collected information about the bandit army, the military deployment of Kong Zei Geng and Geng Zei, and the army grain storage villain are all clear! The villain is willing to be the general's pawn, leading the army to go straight to Huangchao, recovering Dengzhou, so that he can make amends! People are loyal to Daming, but you can show the sun and the moon, please give the villain a chance, please give the villain a chance!"

Yang Menglong stared at Li Jiuzheng for a long time, until he saw that he was uncomfortable, then shook his head and said: "Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde and the others have brothers like you, what a crime they did in their previous life!" He fell into the ground and said to Xu Gong: "Bandage him, don't let him die, maybe he will be needed when we attack Dengzhou."

Li Jiuzheng was overjoyed and kowtowed his head: "Thank you, General, for not killing me! The General is kind-hearted, brave and invincible, comparable to Huo Qubing and Li Cunxiao. Being able to follow the General to fight on the battlefield is really a blessing from the previous life..."

Yang Menglong suppressed the discomfort in his stomach, and fled on horseback. If he continued to listen, he was afraid that he would spit out his breakfast.

Two hunting cavalrymen jumped off their horses, and one tied Li Jiucheng with a hemp rope in a Su Qin sword-back pose. The other casually pulled out the crossbow arrows nailed to his shoulders and legs, and sprinkled a little golden medicine, regardless of the blood. If he didn't stop, he threw him on the horse and followed Yang Menglong back to the camp.

Along the way, Li Jiuzheng kept praising Yang Menglong's bravery and kindness. Hearing that the chasseurs were all sweaty, he had to pull out his dagger and threaten to cut off his tongue, so he managed to close that annoying mouth... …
