Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 289 Dong Ping is captured
The light in the sky was dim, and a war horse stepped into the pine forest and ran quickly. The man on the horse was holding a six-foot silver gun, and two small flags were fluttering in the wind behind him. From time to time, he lowered his head to avoid the branches lying in the air, with a slightly sweaty face. With an expressionless face and the corners of his mouth drooping downward, Dong Ping stared straight ahead, recalling the defeat just now in his mind, and he became increasingly reluctant to look at the faces of his soldiers.

For Dong Ping, it was very difficult to understand what happened just now. The number of soldiers in the vanguard was almost twice that of the opponent. However, during the confrontation, he was beaten back by the smaller side. He even dropped his weapon and ran away. Even though he He was used to seeing bad battles, and it was hard to accept it for a while. He also fantasized that by relying on his ability to charge into battle, he would awaken the bloody courage of his sergeants. When the whole army came forward, why worry about the camp here not being broken?
However, what he saw was the Liangshan bandit soldiers who charged with less, and the Xucheng officers and soldiers who did not dare to fight continuously. The rout infected the entire army almost instantly. It seemed that they had discussed it, and the entire army formation instantly dispersed into one piece. , after all, Dong Ping is also someone he has seen before. It is not that he has not experienced defeats before, but the organized teams have collapsed one after another. How can it be like this Yunzhou official army? There was just some noise in front, and immediately behind Running away, it was like retreating together, which was really an eye-opener.

With a gentle rein, the running horse slowed down its pace. After running for a while, the wounds on the horse continued to bleed. Now, half of the white horse's body was dyed red. Under the sky, it looked like half black and half.

Dong Ping touched the horse's mane and sighed: "We still have to gather the defeated troops first..."

After looking around, the soldier and horse inspector, who had ran away for a while out of anger, turned around and walked away.

……

The running steps alternated rapidly. Overlooking the entire battlefield, the officers and soldiers in red uniforms fled in all directions. Many sergeants gathered in the field and followed the figures in front of them and rushed forward. Some of the defeated soldiers rushed into the woods on both sides. Some people looked for the direction. Heading towards the rear army, some people were like headless flies, screaming and running to an unknown place.

Fang Xuedu and others were at the edge of the woods further back. They saw many people running towards this side. With a flash of eyes, they stretched out their hands and said, "Stop them and survive."

Putting down his arms, An Renmei next to him used the soles of his feet to jump forward suddenly, "This impatience..." Fang Xuedu smiled bitterly and quickly followed up. The soldiers in the field behind him all stretched out their hands with a grimace on their faces. He opened his mouth to speak, sighed, put down his hand and led the others to follow, still choosing to obey orders.

There were not many sergeants who ran over, only about 20 of them. They were all men who had lost their fighting spirit. How could they defeat An Renmei and Fang Xuedu, two fierce men with extravagant cover? A group of people were thrown to the ground. They found a low-level general, pulled them up, and asked them like a barrage of questions: "What's going on in the front? You are not fighting Liangshan, how come you are back?"

The man couldn't figure out the identities of the people in front of him for a while, but it was true that the other party could defeat him and others. He quickly said respectfully: "We were defeated in front of us. We ran fast and got here."

"What do you mean? The army was defeated?" An Renmei opened her "beautiful eyes" in disbelief.

Fang Xuedu was also stunned on the spot and murmured: "It's a little too fast..."

"So, we can go back?" Na Dutou was quite happy, with a look of relief on his face, and the soldiers behind him were obviously relieved.

An Renmei looked at the person in her hand suspiciously: "You didn't lie to me?"

"How dare you make up lies and tell the truth. We don't want to fight the heroes of Liangshan, so how can we risk our lives? As soon as something happens ahead, we will run away. If... if there are lies, let me leave our bodies outside. , not allowed to return home.”

While swearing to the heavens and the earth, An Renmei carefully looked at the eyes of the person opposite her, and pushed the person to the ground with an "ouch" sound: "Brother Fang, it doesn't sound like you are lying."

Fang Xuedu touched his chin, glanced around at the shrinking officers and soldiers in front of him, and nodded: "It should be true...who is the waiting general?"

"Our general is Dong Ping, Governor Dong, and he is also the most capable general in the army."

"Oh..." Fang Xuedu looked back thoughtfully, looked up at the sky, and then looked at the figure opposite him. The elegant young man showed a smile: "Brother An, Fang has a plan, I don't know. Are you willing to take a risk..."

"Adventure? Shouldn't we go back quickly?"

An Renmei frowned, giving the impression of a beautiful woman frowning. Fang Xuedu walked over as if she had not seen him and whispered: "Soldiers have no fighting spirit, and generals have no will to die. If you put on your clothes at this time and look for him and other generals, , It is impossible to say that there will be any miraculous results, at worst, we can escape back in the dark and there will be no loss."

This fake beauty is also a bold person. Hearing this, he rolled his eyes and nodded sternly: "I'll do it! I'll listen to Brother Fang."

The two people turned around with something strange in their eyes. The one on the side had his head on his face, his back hunched over, and his eyes were blankly looking at the two people in charge. He didn't look at the almanac when he went out today. It's really a disaster that never comes singly. .

Fang Xuedu looked back at the people behind him, then ordered a few people who were similar in stature to the prisoners to come out, put on military uniforms and armor, and squatted in front of the low-ranking general: "You wait for me, general... That's right, you guys You may not be able to encounter them if you run early, so you should know where the camp is, right?"

The prisoner swallowed and pointed in the north direction: "We had not set up camp when we left. The governor just asked the rear army and Qing Zhuang to prepare for setting up camp. I think it should be in that direction."

Fang Xuedu looked in the direction, stood up and waved everyone over: "I will leave ten people for you, keep an eye on them."

Nadu Tou heard that there was no need to step forward, so he nodded repeatedly and agreed without any hesitation. The elegant young man who put on the military uniform looked at An Renmei and others who had changed their clothes and shook his head: "Let's go and see what's going on. "

The surrounding light was not good, and he could vaguely see an outline. He didn't have a torch with him, so he had to tear off some of his shirt hem, roll them up on a stick and light them, so that he could look at the road.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the sound of rustling could be heard on the way forward. Occasionally, the sound of someone talking and complaining could be heard. Fang Xuedu and An Renmei did not go forward to join them. The situation was unknown at this time. They still wanted to Make a decision after observing more. I am not in a hurry to go out. I just walk on the path between the bushes in the pine forest.

At this time, there was the sound of a large scraping of trees in the forest next to me. I heard horses snorting, and a male voice cursed and said, "You bitch!" "At the words, Fang Xuedu and An Renmei looked at each other and took out the knives from their waists. The soldiers behind them nervously raised their spears. Suddenly, a silver spear forced the bushes away, and the strong figure held his hand. The war horse came over, and the armor leaves rustled across the leaves.

The man was startled when he saw the people holding torches, and then angrily pointed his gun at the people: "Damn it, you don't dare to fight against the Liangshan thieves on the battlefield, now you are pointing a knife at the prison." You're so stupid, I haven't put the knife away for the governor, I'll settle the score with you later when I return to the camp."

Fang Xuedu narrowed his eyes, tugged on the corner of An Renmei's clothes, and lowered the knife: "Yes, we are too nervous in the dark. I wonder if there are brothers behind the governor?"

The field soldiers behind An Renmei raised their guns and smashed them to the ground.Dong Ping spat: "There is a bird man. You can run faster than my horse. Wherever there are people, follow me back to the camp!"

He said something angrily, but did not see the people opposite him look at each other with strange expressions. He reached out and pulled the horse for two steps, then suddenly turned back: "Huh? No, why is your accent so weird!"

"I'm not from Jingdong." Fang Xuedu said with a smile and took two steps forward: "I just came here last year. It's hard to change my local accent. It's normal for it to sound wrong."

"Well..." Dong Ping nodded, but he still felt something was wrong in his heart: "Which battalion are you from? Whose subordinates are you? What is the password today? Wait, why didn't you lose it..."

The moment he waited for the words to be spoken, An Renmei walked closer and "smiled sweetly". In the flickering firelight, Dong Ping's eyes shrank when he saw the "beautiful" face. Opposite him, the iron gun in his hand suddenly poked out, and suddenly the gun tip Stab in front of you.

This pair of spears was a surprise. The hanging silver spear was raised suddenly and headed towards the iron spear. The two spears collided, and the harsh sound of gold and iron collided. An Renmei's spear was knocked aside, and Dong Ping led the horse. As soon as he let go of his hand, Fang Xuedu quickly approached over there and slashed down with a sound of the long knife in his hand.

Dong Ping was shocked, and quickly raised his gun to parry. After several consecutive hits, the commander of the army and horse, who had lost a gun, gritted his teeth and kept retreating. The silver gun managed to block the knife, and he was about to turn around and run to the horse. , An Renmei's iron spear stabbed at him again. Dong Ping leaned back and got out of the way. The spear penetrated through the outer shirt, and with a sudden pull, it tore apart with a tearing sound.

The two spears were blocked for a moment, and he stabbed back with a loud bang. The knife that was struck by the student was raised with a clang. In his sight, the raised iron spear came down again, hitting his chest with a bang.

"Ahem... you... Liangshan..."

The pain in his chest was unbearable, but Dong Ping had some idea of ​​who the two people in front of him were, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the sword and gun slashed and stabbed him. Amidst the sound of intensive fighting, he couldn't speak coherently. His two guns would be used to it. He was about to fight, and now he was standing on the ground with only a spear in his right hand. He was not used to turning and attacking, so he just braved the opponent's attack. Under the attack from the opponent, Dong Ping suddenly ducked and dodged the spear that swept over him. The silver gun in his hand was about to stab back, but the sword light from the side came up again. He had to raise the gun to hold the blade, and swung the sword at a very fast speed, causing a stream of sparks on the gun barrel. Then the gun barrel was swept back and hit his shoulder, making him grimace in pain.

During the violent confrontation between the three of them, the unlucky governor was shot from time to time by the opponent, or kicked around. Occasionally, a knife was struck on the armor. Thanks to the strong silver armor, it blocked the attack. After ten moves with the blade, his armor was already in tatters, and his outer robe was in tatters, making him look somewhat embarrassed.

While running, the slashing blade suddenly hit his thigh. Under the firelight, there was a flash of cold light. Dong Pingping shouted "Ah--" with a ferocious look, and stabbed him with the spear, intending to kill them both.

The long knife swept diagonally, and slashed at the head of the gun. Then he flipped his wrist, held the blade with his other hand, and slid down against the gun body. The former hurriedly took a few steps back, his combat boots slipped on the mud, and the side of the knife slipped. An Renmei swung the barrel of the gun and slapped it on the back. The two guns hit her mouth and screamed in pain. Fang Xuedu's eyes flashed across the way and he thrust the knife in his hand. The hand holding the gun was immediately pushed away. The elegant young man in front of him shook his fist. Hitting the person on the chin, there was a bang. Dong Ping's strong body staggered to the side, and the following leg was already kicked on the waist, and his whole body suddenly tilted towards the beauty over there.

As his field of vision shook, Dong Ping saw a black shadow rising up, and felt a sharp pain on his head. He then fell to the ground with a thud, managed to raise his head, then rolled his eyes and passed out.

"This guy is quite difficult to deal with." An Renmei held her spear and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"He is really good at martial arts." Fang Xuedu came over and turned the person over with his feet. When he saw the pair of guns, he closed his eyes tightly and said, "Is he dead?"

"He should be dead. The last blow to his head was quite heavy." An Renmei was a little unsure. She glanced at Dong Ping's dented helmet, walked over and squatted down to test her breathing, then curled her lips and said, "You still have some breath, so count. He has great destiny."

"It doesn't matter whether you live or die." Fang Xuedu shrugged, turned around and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Take the people with you, let's go back, we have the opponent's general, and the rest doesn't matter." He glanced at An Renmei: "Capture the opponent's general alive, This is a great contribution.”

An Renmei smiled bitterly: "That iron face may make people redeem their merits for their sins. Eight successes are merits and sins are sins."

Fang Xuedu chuckled, stepped forward and took Dong Ping's horse: "It's better than just being guilty."

"...That's true." An Renmei nodded, bent down and picked up Dong Ping's other silver gun: "Let's go quickly before someone hears the sound and comes to investigate."

At that moment, the next group of people lit torches and hurried back. They called the captain who was guarding the prisoners and asked the captured sergeants to carry Dong Ping away. The group of people took advantage of the darkness and embarked on the road back to the camp.

……

On the branches in the moonlight, the lights in the Liangshan East Village were brightly lit, and piles of bonfires lit up the patrolling soldiers. In the central tent, E Quanzhong was spinning in circles with his hands behind his back.

Bian Xiang pinched the bridge of his nose and stretched out his hand to stop the figure opposite him: "Brother, don't turn around. Jiren have their own destiny. Brother Fang and Brother An are both smart people and nothing will happen to them."

E Quanzhong stopped and turned around to look: "But it's so late..."

"It'll be okay." The tall and burly figure stood up and pulled the long-faced man back to his seat: "Based on the performance of the Yunzhou officers and soldiers today, do you think they can hurt the two brothers?"

"Everything has an accident..." After saying this, E Quanzhong scratched his head and sighed: "I don't think so, but I feel uneasy in my heart."

"Don't be anxious. Eat something first. You might be back soon."

Bian Xiang picked up the wine glass and handed it over, while persuading the figure opposite him. At this moment, the curtain was raised and An Renmei walked in: "Brother E, forgive me, I'm back."
