Chapter 70 - Xu Gong
Many of the enemy soldiers scattered in all directions before they could even put on their clothes and armor, not to mention picking up their weapons to defend against the Establishment. Some of the enemies wanted to fight with the Establishment with weapons, but they were cut down by the wolf-like cavalry or mercilessly trampled on by the horses. When the enemy soldiers saw this scene, they completely collapsed. They did not have the fighting spirit to fight, the Establishment did not encounter any kind of strong resistance. The entire battlefield was in disarray as the enemy troops scattered in all directions. On the other hand, the Establishment cavalry soldiers were like a pack of fierce wolves as they chased after the fleeing little sheep.
He hurriedly pulled the helmet over his head, then used his hands to fasten the armor that was crooked on his body. He shouted, "Stop it! "Hold it right there!" At this moment, a cavalryman rushed towards him at lightning speed. His face was full of surprise, but before he could say anything, the cavalryman swung his body to the side and chopped off his head! When the head fell to the ground, it bounced up, then fell to the ground and rolled a few times before stopping. A column of blood spurted out from the neck of the decapitated Zu Lang! Then he fell to the ground.
Since the commander was dead, and the army leader was nowhere to be found, they could no longer pose a threat to the Establishment. Establishment, on the other hand, brought them to Lu Kang and Hua Xin Xin's camp. The defeated soldiers of Zulang clashed with Lu Kangjun and the Chinese army's camp. Lu Kang and the Chinese army who woke up in a hurry couldn't form a favorable battle formation. The soldiers of Lu Kang and the Chinese army also fled with the soldiers of Zulang.
Lu Kang, on the other hand, died in the chaos. Hua Xin thought that there was nothing he could do, so he led his personal guards and went to vote for Liu Biao. This battle, Establishment captured quite a few and obtained a large amount of supplies from Lu Kang, Hua Huang Army and Zu Lang Army.
Li Xiong smiled and said to me: "Fourth brother! This battle was truly enjoyable! He really didn't expect that Zu Lang, Lu Kang, and Hua Xin's men would be so weak! Right now, the High City that Xu Gong was guarding was already an isolated city! Why don't we take advantage of the situation and take down the important city? "
I had a worried look on my face. "I'm just worried that my soldiers will be tired from fighting in succession! Furthermore, the General Han Cheng is protecting Yu Lin, I am afraid that he will be unable to stop the xanthopanax's attack! Shouldn't we stop at once and go back to Yu Lin to support General Han? " Chen Zhi immediately replied: "Please don't! If we were to return back to the sect now, then we have missed the opportunity to take over Cangwu County and South Sea County! " I asked, "What do you mean?"
Chen Zhi replied: Zhang Jiao is worried that the Founan will attack his rear, so he doesn't dare to attack General Han. As for Xu Gong, Yan Baihu, Wang Lang and the rest of the army, their morale was low. We will take this opportunity to destroy Wang Lang and the other powerhouses, and take down Cangwu and South Sea to expand our territory! If Wang Lang was able to gain a foothold, then the outcome would be unknown! I request that you work hard and destroy Wang Lang and the others! "
After I heard this, I nodded my head and said, "Second Brother is right! Good! Let's take down the important cities first, then we can advanced and take down Wang Lang and the others in one go! "
Within Gao Jin city. Xu Gong gathered his subordinates and said: "Right now, Fan Li's army is already at the bottom of the city, what should we do?" None of the subordinates said a word, because they were all frightened to death by Fan Li's army.
Just then, three people stood out and said, "I am indebted to Master for being able to provide for us. Right now, the matter is extremely urgent! Master, please allow us to assassinate Fan Li and force him to retreat! " Xu Gong looked at the three men, it turned out that the three men were his hanger-ons. "This..." Xu Gong was a little hesitant.
The three hanger-ons said: "Master, please rest assured! If we go and assassinate Fan Li, he doesn't necessarily know that we were sent by Master. Even if he knows that we are assassins sent by Master, under the circumstances that we are unable to kill him, we have the confidence to persuade him to not kill Master! "
Xu Gong asked curiously: "Why are you all so confident?" The goalkeeper A said: "Fan Li is incomparably merciful, adding that he did not even kill Shi Xie who had fought with him for several years, it can be seen how magnanimous he is! Compared to Shi Xie, does Fan Li hate his master a little more? Or does he hate Shi Xie a little more? " Without hesitation, Xu Gong blurted out, "Of course it's Shi Xie!"
goalkeeper A: "This is it! The reason why Fan Li was able to fight more and more strongly under the assault of Shi Xie and the other strong powers was partly because of his benevolence, and partly because of his scheme. If it was said that he harmed Master, then because he did not kill Shi Xie previously, people would think that he was trying to bribe them. I think that he would not be so foolish as to harm Master! " "This..." Xu Gong was still a little hesitant.
"Master, please believe us!" Xu Gong said: "But if you go and assassinate him, you will definitely die! "I …" Men Kebing said: "We will be able to repay master's kindness. We will die with no regrets! Maybe we can be as famous in history as those famous assassins! " Xu Gong said: "Then wouldn't it be better if I led my troops and surrendered to Fan Li?"
goalkeeper A said: "If we were to surrender to Fan Li right now, Master would definitely not be able to be seen by them!" Xu Gong said curiously, "Oh! "Why?" The goalkeeper A replied, "They must think that Master surrendered because he was forced to be poor and had no other choice. Furthermore, Master did not have many soldiers and horses, so it is reasonable for them to not care about Master!" Xu Gong sighed.
The goalkeeper A continued: "If we are to go and assassinate Fan Li, if we succeed, Master's name will spread throughout the entire Jiao Prefecture, and because of this Master will have his ambitions in the entire Jiao Prefecture. Yan Baihu and Wang Lang would definitely respect their master as well. Even if we fail, based on what we just said, we firmly believe that Master will be safe and sound even if he surrenders! "
Xu Gong looked at his three hanger-ons. He looked like he wanted to say something but stopped himself. The gatekeeper said: "Master, we will never let anything happen to you. Master, we will not miss this chance to repay Master! " Xu Gong helplessly said: "Alright!"
One day, I only brought two of my personal followers to gaze at the capital city from afar. I looked at the important city and said, "Xu Gong's important city has already become a lonely city. I think he won't be able to hold on for long!"
At this time, his bodyguard shouted to the three people in the forest: "Who is it! "Who are you?" One of them replied, "We are the soldiers of General Chen Zhi, we are patrolling here!" There was no doubt about it.
The three men came over and said, "Is the lord here?" His follower nodded. I turned and smiled at the three of them. The three of them smiled as they walked in front of me and my two personal guards. The three of them exchanged glances with each other. The three of us had our daggers hidden in our hands, so we didn't find anything out of place.
The three hanger-ons saw that the three of us were caught off guard and quickly thrusted our blades towards one of them. My two henchmen did not expect things to turn out like this, and were killed on the spot by Xu Gong's two hanger-ons. I reacted extremely quickly and dodged to the side, but goalkeeper A was really too close to me, and his blade was too fast! The goalkeeper A's dagger stabbed into my flank.
"Drip, drip." Fresh blood continued to flow. My right hand pressed down on my injured right abdomen. Instantly, my right hand was covered in blood. I looked at the three of them and asked, "Who are you? Why did you come to assassinate me? " The three hanger-ons sneered and did not answer me. The three hanger-ons immediately pounced on me, for they knew that they must not give me time to draw my sword, or they might not succeed in assassinating me.
goalkeeper A held up the dagger in his hand and shouted loudly: "Go to hell!" Guest B and Men Kebing also coordinated with him from the left and right to attack me. Men Kebing's dagger pierced towards me! I sidestepped to the right, but Gatekeeper B's dagger followed me from the right. It was too late. It was too soon! I used both my hands to press down on the wrist of hanger-on Yi's dagger. Then, I twisted the dagger and stabbed it into doorman B's heart. He screamed as blood flowed out.
Just then, goalkeeper A's dagger is already close to me! goalkeeper A's blade was aimed straight for my heart! As long as I let him stab me, I will definitely lose my life! I didn't have enough time to think about it. I stretched out my left hand to grab the dagger that was piercing towards me. A lot of blood immediately flowed out of my hand. "Waves of pain throbbed in my brain, and I had no choice but to endure the pain and continue fighting!" "Haa ~!" goalkeeper A bellowed, he used all his strength to raise his dagger and was about to stab straight at me. The veins on his head and the hand holding the dagger were popping out!
On the other hand, Men Kebing was attacking me from the side! My hands loosened their grip on goalkeeper A's dagger, and I dodged to the left. My feet moved forward again at an extremely fast speed, and my body leaned forward. Men Kebing's dagger grazed the clothes behind me, and I barely dodged the dagger that Men Kebing had stabbed towards me.
But the danger had not passed! The goalkeeper A used the dagger in his hand to attack me! Good heavens! I had already expected that goalkeeper A would have such a trick up his sleeve. The five toes of my right foot turned to the right forcefully, and then my stomach shrank back. My half-turn caused goalkeeper A's dagger to stab empty space!
Swiftly, I stretched out my left hand and grabbed goalkeeper A's wrist. Then, with a twist of my wrist, I twisted his hand downwards. goalkeeper A cried out miserably like a pig being butchered. The dagger in his hand fell to the ground, but I seized the opportunity to grab it with my right hand. When I held the dagger in my hand, I used my left elbow to hit goalkeeper A on the abdomen. goalkeeper A was in so much pain that he was forced to take a few steps back, and then fell to the ground, staggering.
"Aiya!" Men Kebing roared, he used his dagger to attack me. I'm going to use my dagger to meet him.
