On the road that was cleared, a group of iron cavalry slowly came forward, led by a particularly strong and majestic brown-red horse. On the back of the horse, the person who came was wearing a green robe and tied with a gold and bronze flying bird hairpin.
With black hair, he has a very young and eye-catching face.
There was no strange expression on this eye-catching face at the moment, his hands were holding the reins, and he did not make any threatening movements, but Cao Hongxuan still immediately sensed an unspeakable sense of danger.
As the large and intimidating horse under the opponent approached, the horse under him seemed to be sensing it, and wanted to retreat uneasily.
Cao Hongxuan tightened the reins, stabilized the horse, and stared at the young man who had reined in the horse. He was about to ask the Shenzhou governor who was retreating to the side, "Who is this person?", but the young man heard
Already taking the initiative to speak——
But it was a clear female voice: "It's too late for Governor Cao to arrive. I've been waiting here for a long time."
"It's just that Governor Cao made such a big move to gather troops to leave Huainan Road, why didn't he ask me for instructions in advance?"
Cao Hongxuan's expression changed after hearing this, and he was about to ask, "Who are you?" However, the next moment, his expression suddenly changed again: "... Chang Sui Ning?!"
Facing those calm and acquiescent eyes, he suddenly drove his horse back a few steps and looked at Shenzhou Governor with an angry look: "Ding Su... how dare you plot against me!"
At this moment, the guards on his left and right sides were also shocked when they heard this. They immediately drew their swords and stepped forward to surround Cao Hongxuan.
"Provincial Governor Cao—" Governor Shenzhou looked at Cao Hongxuan who was questioning angrily, sighed, and advised: "It's not too late to rein in the situation."
Cao Hongxuan gritted his teeth and cursed his mother.
This bitch usually calls him "Brother Hongxuan" or "Brother", but now in front of his new master, he changed his name and called him Governor Cao! This is because he is afraid that he will not have a clean relationship with him!
Cao Hongxuan gritted his teeth: "You are a despicable villain who betrayed you in the face of battle!"
"Cao Governor ordered a fake to rush to Jiangdu in an attempt to confuse the situation. Could it be that he is a magnanimous gentleman?"
Hearing this casual voice, Cao Hongxuan looked over and sneered from his teeth: "What about the Governor Chang? He openly claimed to wait for the deadline with us, but secretly mobilized troops to come here. What is this?
Is it a visible means?"
"Why do you come here in secret?" Chang Sui Ning said with a smile but not a smile: "Every inch of land on Huainan Road is under my jurisdiction. I can come when I want - Governor Cao has no time to go to Jiangdu in person and offer me what I want.
I will come and get it myself. Is there anything wrong with being so considerate of my subordinates?"
The girl was talking and laughing calmly, which made Cao Hongxuan feel so depressed that his blood boiled.
Of course he wished he could pierce it with a single shot rather than waste any more words with him, but the other party suddenly appeared here, and Ding Su had already switched sides... He always had to react for a moment and explore the situation first!
While he was speaking, some generals behind him quickly retreated to check and confirm the surrounding situation.
Chang Sui Ning knew that he was stalling for time, so he told him in a leisurely manner: "Although Governor Cao has great ambitions, today's Han River is destined to be unable to be crossed -"
Cao Hongxuan tightened his grip on the reins and his eyes rolled over.
The shepherd's purse behind Chang Sui Ning urged loudly on horseback: "Surrender or die, choose one!"
"... Extremely arrogant!" Cao Hongxuan's eyes showed murderous intent, and he was focused on Chang Suining: "I am a descendant of the two surnames Li and Cao. You, a yellow-haired girl picked up from nowhere, are worthy of me, Cao Hongxuan.
Above! The reason why I rebelled is because the imperial court and you have gone too far in bullying me! Today, I, Cao, would rather die than surrender!"
"According to this, I forced you to rebel?" Chang Sui Ning raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then I have to guard this place even more today, otherwise I will become a sinner for the ages."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to the right: "In that case, I will try Anzhou Governor Cao's skills to see what he can do to covet the important land of Jingzhou——"
Hao Huan handed over a long spear, Chang Suining held it and held it horizontally at his side. As he drove his horse forward, he raised his voice and said: "Preach to everyone that Chang Suining from Huainan Road has come to quell the chaos! Those who do not surrender will be punished."
Kill them on the spot! No one alive will be allowed to set foot in the Han River or step out of the Huainan Road today!"
"Yes!" All the generals responded in unison.
"Arrogant boy... I will use you to sacrifice the flag!" Cao Hongxuan took the horse and rode forward to greet him.
This Chang Sui Ning is arrogant and dares to take the lead. He is obviously a competitive person. In this case, this is an opportunity that will come to your door!
If he can kill this little girl, he can reverse his disadvantage in one fell swoop!
The horse spear used by Cao Hongxuan was twice as long as the spear used by Chang Suining. The whole body was made of heavy iron, and the spear head was hard and sharp. When he waved it in his hand, he immediately made a dull whistling wind.
The white-stemmed spear used by Chang Suining appears vulnerable at first glance.
Seeing that the girl driving the horse didn't even draw a gun, Cao Hongxuan suddenly stabbed the horse in his hand.
Chang Sui Ning suddenly leaned back, holding the reins tightly with his left hand. He quickly jumped to one side, stepped on the inner stirrup with one foot, and hung on the side of the horse's back with his waist strength. While avoiding the blow, he
He did not rein in his horse, but continued to move forward to shorten the distance, bypassed the sharp horse's shaft, swung his gun with his right hand, and stabbed Cao Hongxuan diagonally.
Her movements were extremely fast, and she had no moves at first, but she opened and launched her moves at the same moment, and the man and horse cooperated perfectly, and her movements were so fast that Cao Hongxuan, who did not have much battlefield experience, could hardly react in time.
Although the horse spear is extremely lethal, it is too heavy and is much longer than an ordinary spear. It is majestic to use, but unless one is truly proficient in using this weapon, it will not be so easy to put it away.
And its length destined it to be more suitable for immediate combat at both distance and distance. At this moment, as Chang Sui Ning approached, most of this advantage was shattered.
Cao Hongxuan had no choice but to drag his heavy horse and retreat repeatedly to avoid it.
At this time, as Chang Sui Ning sat back on his horse, Gui Qi suddenly rushed forward and blocked Cao Hongxuan's retreat.
Seeing the spear approaching the front door again, Cao Hongxuan retreated quickly and quickly clamped the horse's belly, holding the horse's shaft with both hands and blocking it in front of him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The spear actually picked up his horse from below, and the next moment, the horse suddenly left his hand and flew away.
Cao Hongxuan's hands were suddenly empty, but the tip of the spear still did not leave. Instead, it whirled towards him and quickly stabbed him in the face.
"My lord, beware!"
When Cao Hongxuan's expression changed, he didn't care much and leaned back as much as possible to avoid it, so he suddenly dismounted from his horse.
Even so, his movements were still a little slow. Before he fell, the spear tip pierced his lower jaw and scraped away a piece of his flesh.
Cao Hongxuan, who was helped up by his subordinates, covered his bleeding jaw and was shocked. If he had delayed for just a moment, the spear would probably have penetrated his throat!
But...it's obviously just two moves!
When several of his generals saw that the situation was not going well, they quickly surrounded him and were all in front of him to protect him.
Chang Sui Ning had reined in his horse and put away his gun. He looked at Cao Hongxuan, who was being supported by people on his left and right, and said in a clear tone: "He is just a loser. No wonder Bian Chunliang has no intention of reusing him. He just wants to treat him as a free man."
The paving stones will be put to a good use.”
Ding Su, the governor of Shenzhou, had been incited to rebel, so he naturally confided in her the plan agreed between Cao Hongxuan and Bian Chunliang.
When Cao Hongxuan heard this, he felt extremely humiliated. His voice trembled, but he said with anger: "...Kill her! Killing Changsui Ning will be recorded as a first-class military merit!"
The officers and soldiers in front of him and beside him, thinking about the situation they had just fought against, had complicated expressions after hearing this.
Why don't you kill me... Is it because you don't want to make a name for yourself by fighting?
The other party's skills are so fast that they are even a bit evil... Those rumors that originally sounded exaggerated are probably true!
Facts have proved that the general must be cautious when fighting alone before the war...otherwise it is really easy to weaken the morale of the army.
But at this moment, shepherd's purse has led his troops to swarm forward and kill them.
The generals in front of Cao Hongxuan could only resist with all their strength.
Ding Su, the governor of Shenzhou, quickly led his people forward and forced Chang Suining to retreat to the rear. Su Rong clasped his fists and said: "You can just leave it to the officials and others to deal with it. Your Majesty's status is valuable, so there is no need to personally intervene."
risk!"
Chang Sui Ning, who had already tried Cao Hongxuan's experience, faced the loyal Ding Su and nodded very obediently: "That's fine."
Ding Su clasped his fists again, shouted "drive", and led several generals to charge forward.
The few generals looked at the unhesitating back of their governor in front of them, and while they were galloping along, they had complicated expressions on their faces - wasn't it that the master was always shouting "There is no way he can live under that little girl", "She alone can't."
Do you deserve me to go and worship in person?
Is this still their gentleman who categorically tore up the letter sent by Jiangdu Jiedushi?
Speaking of the torn letter, I wonder if it can be put back together...
These complicated thoughts only lasted for a moment, and Shenzhou soldiers quickly joined the battle.
Cao Hongxuan had a total of 13,000 soldiers and horses, Shenzhou also had 10,000 soldiers and horses, and Chang Suining brought 5,000 elite soldiers. Although the difference in number between the two sides was only 2,000, the situation soon became clear.
The five thousand men brought by Chang Suining have been fighting with her in the past two years, and they are elite troops who train diligently every day. However, the soldiers under Cao Hongxuan have no practical experience worth mentioning in recent years.
Morale has dropped—
Among the 13,000 people, only the generals in the middle of the army knew all about Cao Hongxuan's plans. Those who knew more or less were at least the captains who were in charge of hundreds of people. Most ordinary soldiers in the army with little information, even
He has no right to know where he is going, what he is going to do, and who he is going to fight. He is just following orders blindly.
When they suddenly heard the opposing army shouting "Huainan Road Jiedushi Chang Sui Ning has come to quell the chaos", many of them were even at a loss -
Did the new Jiedushi personally come to quell the chaos?
What's so messy?
Who rebelled?
Could it be them?
As the fight started, some soldiers who were confused about the situation immediately got their answers.
They also saw that among the people who came to beat them, there were actually people wearing the uniforms of Shenzhou next door, and the chaos suddenly became even more chaotic - so, their governor was still working alone?
In extreme panic and uneasiness, and because they were on Huainan Road, Chang Suining's reputation had been engraved in their hearts. At this moment, they were watching the enemy's sergeants attack with overwhelming force. Many Anzhou soldiers chose to throw away their swords and surrender.
.
Regardless of the self-esteem of the survivors, even those with strong self-esteem can completely convince themselves - it is all a family matter in Huainan Road, and there is no shame in surrendering in your own home!
And since this company has a big business, whoever has the ability will naturally be in charge... This is fair!
So they are not surrendering, they are just choosing to side with people who are more capable and more suitable to be the head of the family for the sake of justice!
Cao Hongxuan, who was protected by a group of soldiers, looked around and saw that more than half of his soldiers were on the verge of surrender. The fighting spirit was low and the formation collapsed. He was shocked and angry for a moment. He drew his sword and shouted: "Send the order, if you dare,
Those who surrender will be killed without mercy!"
This order was passed down loudly, and then Cao Hongxuan watched helplessly as many surrendering soldiers frantically accelerated their pace towards Chang Suining's camp... with great potential to seek protection.
"..." Cao Hongxuan was so furious that a sweet smell came out of his throat. With a ferocious expression on his face, he shouted again: "Don't panic! The reinforcements from Huangzhou are coming. Our army will definitely win this battle!"
Even if that bitch Ding Su turns his back on the battlefield, he believes that Sheng Baoming, the governor of Huangzhou, will never turn to Chang Suining!
Firstly, the friendship between the two is here, and secondly, Sheng Baoming is more ambitious than him and has a stubborn temper. He has never seen the coffin... No, he has always been a person who will never look back after making up his mind.
Cao Hongxuan firmly believed that his judgment would not be wrong, and the facts proved that it was indeed not wrong——
As the news spread that "Huangzhou reinforcements were coming", the situation in Cao Hongxuan's army was temporarily stabilized.
Not long after, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind.
General Cao Hongxuan shouted loudly: "Reinforcements are here!"
"Hurry up and welcome reinforcements!"
"Clear the way for reinforcements!"
Seeing the Huangzhou military flag fluttering in the wind, Cao Hongxuan saw great hope and rode forward to meet it.
During this interval, countless people shouted, "Reinforcements have arrived."
But as the incoming team approached, Cao Hongxuan and his left and right subordinates gradually realized that something was wrong.
Cao Hongxuan looked wary and began to retreat slowly.
Soon, the people in front of the team slowed down, and the leader was no longer the governor of Huangzhou. Instead, it was a girl wearing armor and with a beautiful face from a foreign race who led the way forward.
"Reinforcements?" The girl with deep brown eyebrows raised her hand and threw something towards them: "Are you talking about him?"
Cao Hongxuan and others looked over and saw that what rolled to the ground was a bloody head.
There was a short arrow stuck in one eye of the head, and the death state was extremely horrific.
But Cao Hongxuan still recognized at a glance that this was Sheng Baoming, the governor of Huangzhou!
As he wished, Sheng Baoming never defected... but fell to the ground.
When Cao Hongxuan was shocked, Kang Zhi had already drawn his sword.
Mr. Qian secretly came west on the orders of the Lord, and instigated rebellions in Shuzhou and Guangzhou along the way. Later, he used Guangzhou to leverage Shenzhou, and then used Shenzhou to learn about the conspiracy between Anzhou and Huangzhou——
After that, Mr. Qian quickly sent a message back to Jiangdu. While the adults arrived with their troops, Mr. Qian felt that being idle was idle. It would be better to go to Huangzhou and give it a try. It would be better if he could also impress the governor of Huangzhou.
Already.
Mr. Qian did not show up rashly, but tried it through other people's mouths. Finally, he regretfully wrote a letter saying that it was difficult to persuade the governor of Huangzhou.
After the Lord learned about it, he ordered her and Tang Xing to lead five thousand elites and seconded troops from other states along the way to pacify Huangzhou. As for the governor of Huangzhou - since he couldn't be moved, he was beaten until he was motionless.
.
Kang Zhi's idea is very pure - anyone who disobeys her family will be beaten to death!
