Chapter 08: Battle against Huan Chu (Part 2)
The red shadow came out of its sheath and flew in the air. Xiang Zhuang went straight to Huan Chu to kill him, but Huan Chu was holding a spear. As the saying goes, one inch is long and one inch is strong. Xiang Zhuang knew that it was difficult for his short blade to defeat Huan Chu.
He immediately feinted and advanced sideways. Huan Chu was caught off guard and swung his spear to kill Xiang Zhuang. However, he saw only the horse but no man. When Huan Chu was surprised, the snow-white war horse had already rushed forward. Xiang Zhuang used both legs to exert force.
, turned over and got back on the horse, a red shadow flashed, and Huan Chu's horse was slashed with a sword.
Xiang Zhuang rode his horse and rushed over. He stopped the horse ten steps away and turned the horse's head. At this time, Huan Chu sat down and the horse "plopped" and knelt down, with blood splattering everywhere.
Huan Chu was caught off guard and was thrown to the ground. He exerted force with his right hand to support the spear shaft on the ground. He turned over and stood up again. At this time, he was still in shock. He was secretly surprised in his heart at such sharp sword skills.
But one wave after another started. When Huan Chu had just stood up, Xiang Yu shouted loudly ten steps away. He straightened up his long spear and roared to kill. Huan Chu was shocked and couldn't react in time. He raised his spear
He jumped out of the ground, took a slight step, and Xiang Yu jumped into the air. In anger, he swung out his sword and killed all the minions around him. Yu Ziqi, Ji Bu, Xiang You, etc. were killed one after another.
Come, the bandits are in chaos and are scattered by a few people, running around in all directions.
Huan Chu had never encountered a powerful enemy, and even Yu Ziqi could fight to a draw. However, the few people who came today were like the reincarnation of evil stars. They were so brave that Huan Chu couldn't resist it. He was resourceful and defeated the middle-aged man.
He knocked his horse off with a spear pole, got on his horse and ran towards the mountain stronghold.
Xiang Zhuang had been killing a lot of people for a while, and all the anger in his heart was directed at these minions. Everyone they killed cried for their fathers and mothers, and fled in all directions. Those who couldn't run were not killed or injured. The sound of crying, cursing, and the clash of weapons filled the air.
The whole mountain above.
At this time, the middle-aged man who kidnapped Cao Feng during the day was panicked because his horse was taken away by Huan Chu. He looked for a way to escape, but met Xiang Zhuang head-on.
You know, Cao Feng was kidnapped by this middle-aged man, and it was his enemies who were particularly jealous when they met.
"Where is Miss Feng?" Xiang Zhuang roared angrily. The middle-aged man was trembling with fear. He pointed at the cottage with trembling fingers. At this time, Xiang Zhuang had already slashed the middle-aged man to death with his sword. He then drove his horse towards the cottage.
Kill.
The fire in the cottage above was soaring into the sky, and the fire spread near the guard tower of the cottage. Several teenagers were running around, killing everyone they saw. The bandits had never seen such a formation, and they were hiding in all directions. Some people were accidentally ignited by the fire.
Running and howling.
Huan Chu could not get rid of Xiang Yu's pursuit, so he had no choice but to fight fiercely with Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu flew with great strength. Huan Chu's spear flew in the air, and he blocked the left and right. The battle was very difficult. Suddenly, a white war horse came up.
Against the background of the fire, the red shadow flashed, and Huan Chu lay on his back on the horse, avoiding Xiang Zhuang's attack.
Xiang Yu saw the opportunity and shouted: "Here!" The long spear stabbed hard, penetrated Huan Chu's robe, lifted him up and threw him to the ground.
Huan Chu clutched his stomach and hung on the ground, unable to get up for a long time. At this time, Xiang Yu came on his horse and wanted to make up for it, but Xiang Zhuang shouted at him: "Brother, wait a minute!"
Xiang Yu took back Changshan. By this time, almost everyone had been killed. The bandits were either killed or escaped. Xiang Zhuang jumped off his horse, captured Huan Chu, and said angrily: "Where are they?"
Huan Chu pointed with difficulty not far away and said: "The person... is there!"
With Huan Chu, everyone came to a spacious courtyard. Several of Huan Chu's cronies were guarding the outside of the courtyard. They did not escape. Seeing that Huan Chu was captured, they all drew their swords and looked at everyone anxiously. Huan Chu
At this time, he was much better, and he shouted: "Get out of the way."
Several people got out of the way, and Huan Chu led everyone into the room. Cao Feng was sitting in the room at this time, thinking about how to escape, until he heard the shouts of killing in the yard, Cao Feng had a vague premonition in his heart that Xiang Zhuang
My brother is here to save me.
At this time, Xiang Zhuang and others walked into the house. Cao Feng saw Xiang Zhuang at the first sight. She couldn't help but be overjoyed, her eyes turned red, and she threw herself into Xiang Zhuang's arms. Everyone was relieved to see that Cao Feng was safe.
Xiang Zhuang hugged Cao Feng tightly for a while and then asked: "Did they bully you? I'll make the decision for you!"
"No." Cao Feng looked up at Xiang Zhuang and said, "The leader didn't make things difficult for me, but he refused to let me go. If you don't come again, I will have to find a way to escape on my own."
Cao Feng said she was a little aggrieved. Xiang Zhuang gently stroked her hair and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, everything is over."
At this time, Xiang Zhuang's anxious heart had gradually calmed down. If Cao Feng lost her body, he would never forgive himself. Thinking about it, he felt scared. Xiang Zhuang held Cao Feng in his arms again, and that was it.
, time seems to have stopped.
Xiang Yu was happy when he saw Xiang Zhuang and Cao Feng hugging each other. But when he saw Huan Chu beside him, Xiang Yu's anger ignited again. He kicked Huan Chu over, pulled out the dagger from Xiang You's arms, and took a step forward.
, wanted to cut off Huan Chu's head. On the side, Ji Bu took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yu, please listen to me."
Xiang Yu raised his head and looked at Ji Bu. Ji Bu sighed softly and said, "I think Huan Chu is a man and his martial arts skills are not inferior to mine. Why don't Brother Yu accept Huan Chu? Maybe he can help Brother Yu in the future."
"
Of course Xiang Yu knew what Ji Bu meant, but it was still difficult for Xiang Yu to overcome Huan Chu's kidnapping of his future siblings. While he was deep in thought, Yu Ziqi also stepped forward and said: "What this dear friend said is reasonable, if
Huan Chu has evil intentions, and Miss Feng will not be safe at this time. I think..."
Seeing that someone was willing to intercede on his behalf, Huan Chu hurriedly said: "I, Huan Chu, have never surrendered to anyone. Until today when I was defeated by you, I am convinced. If you can let me go, I am willing to follow."
Speaking of this, Huan Chu glanced at Xiang Zhuang and Cao Feng. They were also looking at him at this time. Huan Chu said again: "This girl was captured by my men. I didn't bully her. I just want to see her tomorrow."
, I was letting her go back, but I didn’t expect that you were coming to kill her.”
Huan Chu sighed softly. Seeing that he was extremely sincere and that Cao Feng was not injured, Xiang Zhuang nodded and said: "Brother, this man has some backbone, let him go."
Xiang Yu pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, let go of Huan Chu, and inserted the dagger into the scabbard on Xiang You's waist. At this time, Huan Chu suddenly stood up, knelt in front of Xiang Yu, lowered his head and said, "Since you are willing to spare me,
Fate, I, Huan Chu, am willing to follow you with all my heart, no matter the sword, mountains or sea of fire, I will do whatever it takes."
Xiang Yu raised his head and laughed, helping Huan Chu up. The atmosphere in the room relaxed a lot. At this time, Xiang Zhuang came over and asked with a smile: "Brother Huan Chu, can you introduce the situation on the upper mountain?"
Huan Chu cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Five years ago, I left Wu County, hoisted a banner on Fangfang Mountain, and made the mountain king. No less than five thousand people came to surrender from far and near. However, in today's battle, everyone will die and everyone will escape.
At that time, there were probably less than five hundred people in the village."
After saying that, Huan Chu sighed softly, and Xiang Zhuang asked with a smile: "If we secretly support you and provide weapons, can you still recall those people?"
Huan Chu's eyes lit up and he provided weapons. In this case, he could form a decent army. After thinking for a while, Huan Chu stretched out his hand, made a three sign, and said with a smile: "At least three thousand people can be gathered."
Xiang Zhuang nodded and laughed, turned to look at Xiang Yu, and said: "Brother Yu, we can discuss the weapons matter with my uncle. Maybe, he will agree, and Fangshan can be our..."
Xiang Zhuang did not continue talking, but everyone understood it, and Yu Ziqi also vaguely felt that this Lu family was different. However, this had nothing to do with him, and he did not ask too much, but it was already a fact that everyone attacked the mountain stronghold tonight.
This matter will definitely be reported back to Wu County. I wonder if the county guard will interrogate this matter. Thinking of this, Yu Ziqi expressed his worries, and Xiang Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "What's so difficult about this?"
Xiang Yu picked up a sword from the ground and slashed it hard on his leg. Blood flowed down instantly. At this time, Xiang Yu laughed and said, "We attacked the mountain stronghold, but I was injured, so we couldn't break it."
Seeing Xiang Yu say this, everyone already knew Xiang Yu's trick. They couldn't help but pick up a sword and cut themselves in different places, pretending to be injured. Looking at each other's deep or shallow wounds, everyone couldn't help but raise their heads and laugh. At this time,
, Huan Chu cupped his hands and smiled and said: "I have been my brother since Shangfangshan. I don't know, what is my brother's name?"
"My name is Lu Yu, and they are all my brothers!" Xiang Yu raised his head and laughed.
"My name is Lu Zhuang."
"My name is Lu You."
"My name is Ji Bu."
"Haha, I don't need to introduce myself, we have known each other for a long time!" Yu Ziqi couldn't help but pat Huan Chu on the shoulder and laughed.
...
The night was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers. Except for a little firelight on the south gate of Wuxian County, the surrounding area was immersed in darkness. Soon, the sound of horse hooves stepping on the ground was faintly heard from the distance. The sound was very rapid, and soon
, the sound echoed under the tower.
Several soldiers on patrol gathered on the tower and looked down. Several other archers were also ready for battle. They were all very nervous. In the dark night, it was impossible to tell how many people were under the tower and which bandit they were.
Or the army came to kill.
Soon, a person shouted loudly, breaking the silence of the night: "I am Yu Ziqi, open the city gate quickly!"
All the soldiers on the city tower knew Yu Ziqi, and everyone knew his voice very well. At this time, everyone heard Yu Ziqi's cry and immediately went to report to Wang Sima who was on night shift. When Wang Sima came, he recognized
After hearing Yu Ziqi's voice and confirming that it was Yu Ziqi, he ordered the door to be opened.
A small opening opened in the city gate. Wang Sima and two soldiers were guarding the door. Yu Ziqi led everyone to lead the horse and entered Wu County. Wang Sima smiled and handed over his hand: "General Yu entered the city late at night. I don't know what happened.
Important matter?"
Yu Ziqi returned the gift with a smile and said, "I had a conflict with the bandits in Shangfang Mountain. I was slightly injured. I went back home to apply medicine."
At this time, Wang Sima saw Xiang Yu and others next to Yu Ziqi, who were showing off their prowess on the school field today. He couldn't help but respect him, and stopped asking any more questions. He smiled and said, "In that case, you should go back early. If you have anything to do, I will
Come and hold it down for you."
Yu Ziqi laughed and held up his hands: "Thank you, King Sima."
Along the street, the horses galloped, and several people came to Yu Ziqi's house. The house was a medium-sized courtyard, divided into front and rear courtyards, with a side door in the backyard that led directly to the river. At this time, a housekeeper hurried over to give Yu Ziqi
Qi saluted: "Sir, why did you come back so late?"
After saying this, the housekeeper saw the injuries on Yu Ziqi's body. He couldn't help but said in surprise: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Ziqi waved his hand and said with a smile: "I met a few thieves and got a little injured. It's okay. You hurry up and prepare a few banquets. I want to entertain these friends."
The butler glanced at a few people, cupped his hands, and left. At this time, Yu Ziqi smiled and said, "I'll change my clothes, you can do whatever you want."
Everyone smiled and cupped their hands, and Yu Ziqi left in a hurry. Xiangzhuang and others had a busy day and were a little tired. They found a place to sit down. A servant brought a few cups of tea and put them on the table. Soon, another
Several people brought charcoal pots, and the charcoal fire was burning brightly, and the room quickly became warm.
At this time, Xiang Yu suddenly looked out the door, took a few steps forward, and listened quietly to something. Soon, he turned back and asked, "Did you hear anything?"
Xiang Zhuang listened carefully and said in surprise: "There seems to be the sound of a piano, and... someone is reciting poetry!"
Xiang Yu also nodded and said with a smile: "What a beautiful sound."
