Volume 5: Breaking the Array Chapter 16: Drum Knife (6)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It is their nature to be vicious, cruel, and murderous, as well as cowardly, selfish, and mean-spirited.  Horse thieves are always horse thieves. Even if they put on official clothes and armor and carry the Tang army flag, they are still horse thieves. You can't expect them to fight for their homeland.

    Li Kuo sneered, looking at the horse thieves pushing each other in panic, he felt an indescribable sadness.  This feeling is very strange. Logically speaking, the panic of the horse thieves will be of great benefit to themselves. The brothers of the Jianghuai Army can more easily defeat these bandits who plunder the people's wealth.  But he felt a sense of indignation and worry. If the people of the Tang Dynasty were finally forced to follow this path by the imperial court and thieves, would the iron bones that the Tang people were proud of eventually become corrupted?  Finally transformed into a pool of pus and blood?

    After all, coming all the way from Ningling, he saw countless cases of the court forcibly recruiting young men.  These so-called strong men are not all men in their prime, there are also boys aged fourteen or fifteen and old men with gray hair and beards.  Although every citizen of the Tang Dynasty needs to stand up and jointly resist foreign enemies in times of national calamity, this approach is more or less cruel. After all, the ultimate goal of the imperial court is to regain the lost land and bring peace to the people of the Tang Dynasty.  Wouldn't it be too heavy to pay the ultimate price of countless lives and loss of lives for this purpose?

    "Captain, be careful!" Li Kuo was meditating, but Dou Qing shouted and returned to reality.  He looked up and saw a sturdy horse thief holding a long machete who chopped down several brothers in a row and was heading towards him menacingly.

    Li Kuo was furious. He took out the black knife from the scabbard on his waist and faced him.

    Qingfeng seemed to feel Li Kuo's anger and kept screaming.  It ran quickly in the narrow alley of Luanjun, and in a short time it was only ten steps away from Qi Laosan.

    ??Kick, stand up, circle, drum the knife, chop!

    The black knife drew a dazzling arc and slashed straight at Qi Laosan.

    Li Kuo takes the lead!

    The battlefield is different from ordinary martial arts competitions. The one who strikes first often has the upper hand.  Although Li Kuo's sword is not as fancy as the swordsmanship of those Jianghu knights, it is better than the sword because it is heavy and powerful, and it can kill the enemy general with one strike.

    Of course, Qi Laosan was no ordinary person. Seeing that Li Kuo's sword was so powerful, he didn't dare to take it forcefully. He whistled and fell sideways.

    In the midst of lightning and flint, Qi Laosan actually got under the horse's belly and struck the air with Li Kuo's fatal blow.

    Such extraordinary skills may not even be possible for the best riders on the grassland, but Qi Laosan was so calm that he made the right choice at the most appropriate time, which surprised Li Kuo.

    Qi Laosan dodged the blow and got out of the horse on the other side, and Duotou slashed at Li Kuo.

    Li Kuo hurriedly put the black knives against each other's chests, but with a crisp sound, the two sharp blades collided, causing a spark.

    What a lot of strength!

    Li Kuo was secretly shocked. Although he had only fought against Qi Laosan once, he clearly felt that his strength was extraordinary.  He could already draw a five-stone hard bow, but Qi Laosan's strength was obviously a bit better than his own.

    You can¡¯t fight against such a horse thief, you can only outwit him!  Li Kuo took a deep breath, turned the horse's head slightly, and ran around Qi Laosan's horse.

    Qi Laosan was even more excited when he succeeded in the attack. He clamped the horse's belly tightly and chased after Li Kuo.

    He had long seen that Li Kuo was the commander-in-chief of this army. As long as he was killed, the morale of the army would be in chaos, and the brothers would have a chance to escape.  The number of these officers and soldiers is greater than mine, and now they are very powerful. If they are allowed to be commanded and controlled by this man, the brothers will have no chance of winning.

    Since ancient times, officials and thieves have been incompatible. They are officials and they are thieves. If you fall into their hands, you will definitely have no way to survive.

    Now the only option is to give it a try!

    The horse under his crotch seemed to sense Qi Laosan's intention, snoring and chasing Qingfeng's footsteps.

    But no matter how hard it tried, it was always thrown out by the breeze. This distance was impossible to cut with a simple knife.

    Qi Laosan felt angry, but he had no choice but to hold the horse's rein tightly with one hand and bite Li Kuo firmly.

    Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Li Kuo felt a little calmer.

    " This Qi Laosan is a brave and foolhardy person who only wants to defeat himself, so he will play with him!"

    "Drive!"

    "I don't know whether the two horses were too fast, or the soldiers were busy dealing with the enemies around them. No one stepped forward to stop them. The two just galloped through the army, as if they were in no one's land.

    After chasing for nearly a moment, Qi Laosan felt something was wrong.  This officer and army general has been unwilling to confront him head-on.Is there some trick?

    Looking at the brothers who were still struggling to support themselves in the sea of ??Tang soldiers, Qi Laosan suddenly slapped his head and suddenly realized.

    No wonder this general of the army has been following him in circles. His brothers' personal combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the army, and they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. He wants to slowly eat his brothers by dragging them down like this.

    Hey!  What a cruel heart.

    Although Qi Laosan already hated Li Kuo so much, Qingfeng was too fast and he couldn't get close to Li Kuo. If he continued to pursue him, he would only play into Li Kuo's favor.

    "Hey!" After thinking about this, Qi Laosan suddenly turned the horse's head without hesitation and galloped in the opposite direction.

    "The wind is blowing hard. Brothers, retreat!" Qi Laosan raised his sword high and hacked to death several officers and soldiers who came forward to block him. He roared loudly to signal the fighting brothers to give up killing the enemy and retreat quickly.  .

    The horse thieves who were already red-eyed just woke up from a dream. They gritted their teeth and patted their horses and followed the third master.

    As he approached the black-faced Yan Jun, Qi Laosan shouted: "Second brother, leave quickly. If you don't leave, the brothers will have to stay here."

    The black-faced Yan Jun nodded, thought for a moment and said: "Don't go directly north after leaving the city. Go east for dozens of miles first, and then turn back to the north after getting rid of these evil stars."

    After hearing this, Qi Laosan was slightly stunned: "Xiangdong, isn't that the territory of the rebels? We" before he finished speaking, he suddenly understood what the black-faced Yan Jun meant and patted his chest and said: "Okay, second brother, I will listen to you.  .¡±

    Although the officers and soldiers have sophisticated armor and sharp weapons, they can only pinch soft persimmons like them. If they really encountered a more powerful rebel army, they would be scared to death.  If he led his troops to turn eastward, the officers and generals would definitely not dare to continue the pursuit because they were afraid of the power of Anlu Mountain.

    ¡°That¡¯s why they hung the rebel flag when they looted the county town.  Horse thieves are afraid of the army, and the army is afraid of the rebels. This has become something that even children know!

    "You take the brothers and go first, while Lao Ba and I will take the people behind. We'll meet at the Black Dragon Pond behind Erhu Mountain. Let's go quickly!"

    The black-faced Yan Jun glanced at Qi Laosan and ordered loudly.

    "Second brother, you are alas!" Qi Laosan seemed to want to say something, but for some reason he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.

    "Take care of yourself!"

    "The wind is blowing hard, brothers, retreat!"

    In the midst of the chaos, a maroon horse galloped past, followed closely by numerous horse thieves who fled.

    The fiery red sunset spreads on the flowing clouds on the horizon, dyeing a desolate and tragic picture of mountains and rivers.

    Looking at the horse thieves with their arms tied behind their backs, Li Kuo frowned.

    "Why do you want to come back?"

    Qi Laosan snorted coldly and remained silent.

    "You damn bastard who deserves a beating, the governor is asking you a question!" Wang Xiaochun kicked Qi Laosan hard in the stomach, causing Qi Laosan to stoop in pain and curl up into a shrimp.

    "Haha, hahaha" Qi Laosan ignored Wang Xiaochun's threats and opened his mouth with a mocking smile.

    "You dare to laugh and ask you to laugh!" Wang Xiaochun was slashed in the arm by Qi Laosan during the chaos. He was angry and took the opportunity to kick him hard to vent his anger.

    "Xiaochun, stop kicking!" Li Kuo sternly stopped Wang Xiaochun from taking revenge and sighed: "Are you worried that I will kill all your brothers?"

    Qi Laosan, who was laughing all the time, suddenly stopped and sneered for a long time: "Isn't it right? In the eyes of the officers and soldiers, the lives of us thieves and grass bandits are probably not as good as those of grassroots, right? What's more, it is a time of chaos, and you are here  If you cut off the man's head and pretend to behead him and report it to the rebels, you can get a lot of fame, right?"

    "Why do you think so?" Li Kuo frowned and said, "The reason why I came to stop you is because I happened to pass by here and listened to Chief Feng's advice, so I decided to get rid of a harm to the local people. You  That¡¯s right, if you don¡¯t come back I will probably order the execution of the captured horse thieves, but I will not use these heads as military merit.¡±

    "So you are despicable! Unlike you shameless officers and soldiers who will run away if you leave your brothers behind, you have to stand up and be a good man! Come on, give me a good time!"

    After Qi Laosan cursed Li Kuo, he closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate.

    Since the day when he was beaten into a bandit, he had thought about this day.  Haha, Qi Laosan has killed many corrupt officials in his life, so it was worth it.

    Isn¡¯t it just death?  He, Qi Laosan, is not afraid, really not afraid

    PS: I really like Lao San.
