Three Kingdoms

Go to hell!

Gao Shun took a deep breath and used all his strength to draw the bow and aim...

"Snapped! 』

Unexpectedly, before the arrow was shot, the bowstring was broken by Gao Shun! !

Shooting against the wind is originally to shoot a 10-point bow with 12-point force. In other words, Gao Shun not only has to open the bow at full capacity, but also needs to draw it to a wider angle than normal, and the cavalry used by Gao Shun The bow was not specially made, it was just an ordinary standard. When the bow was opened with a continuous force that exceeded the original limit, the bow string was stretched.

Gao Shun was a little stunned, and immediately threw away the broken bow, stretched out his hand towards the guard on one side, "Here comes the bow!" 』

The guard was about to take off his bow, but when he saw the situation on the other side, he couldn't help but shout, "General!" careful! 』

At this time, Gao Shun also noticed a bad wind whistling from the side and in front, so he shrank back on his horse and subconsciously used the handle of his gun to block it!

"Dang!" 』

There was a smashing sound, and a black thing smashed open on the handle of Gao Shun's gun!

The fine fragments scratched Gao Shun's cheek, creating a small gash and blood flowing down.

It turned out to be just a stone.

The barbarians herd sheep, and many of them had the ability to throw stones and hit sheep's horns. This kind of long-distance throwing later evolved into weapons such as meteor hammers. If you throw it, you can pull it back and throw it again...

"Ling Ming, save me!" "When Matthew saw Pound coming, he couldn't help but howl. Matthew saw Pound, but did not see that there were not many men following Pound behind him.

Pang De shouted, please don't hurt my lord, and rushed towards Gao Shun crazily.

When Gao Shun saw Pound coming, he frowned slightly, shook his spear, and prepared to fight.

He didn't expect that in this state, someone would come to rescue Matthew. However, Gao Shun was not prepared to get into too much entanglement with Pound. He just wanted to let Pound pass, and his main goal was to kill Matthew.

But Pang De didn't think so. He used flying rocks to block Gao Shun a little, but Gao Shun was relieved of his strength during the hedging. He was not able to directly intercept Gao Shun. Seeing that he was about to He passed by Gao Shun, howled, and flew over directly, knocking Gao Shun off his horse!

Pound's journey back to search was not smooth.

Gao Shun followed Matthew's traces all the way, and finally exposed his whereabouts at the water fetching point. This was mainly due to the support of the Han army's training and related equipment, while Pang De did not have this support.

Although Pound more or less obtained some items and war horses left by Chang Cheng in the camp, the ones who used these items and war horses were still his horse thieves, just like giving a submachine gun to primitive people , most likely they would treat it like an ax or a stick to hit someone.

Therefore, even if Pound had supplements, he could not find Gao Shun until now...

If an ordinary person is knocked down from a horse, he probably doesn't know where he fell. It can range from breaking his arms and legs on the spot to seriously hitting his head and dying. But as a soldier who stumbles every day, How to protect the back of your head and other vital parts after a fall has almost become an instinct.

Falling off a horse while wearing armor is definitely not as entertaining and skillful as the zombie fall on the Peking Opera stage. The armor protected Gao Shun's head, but the armor on his body also increased Gao Shun's burden. , making Gao Shun unable to stand up smoothly within a few breaths.

The same goes for Pound. Because he was face down, he even hit his nose. I don't know if it broke the skin or hurt the inside of the nasal cavity. Anyway, blood flowed down along his chin, dripping.

Because Gao Shun was defeated, Gao Shun's men naturally did not continue to pursue Ma Xiu, but came back.

Gao Shun sighed and looked at Pang De, who was also trying to get up. He was slightly surprised and asked, "Who's next?" 』

"Pang De, Pang Lingming!" Pang De wiped the blood flowing under his nose with the back of his hand, then took a look and threw it to the ground expressionlessly, "How do you do it without a trace... Forget it... It's not important..."

"Pang De Pang Ling Ming." Gao Shun nodded slightly, as if to indicate that he remembered, then pointed around and said seriously, "You are defeated." 』

Pound was silent.

That's right, even if Gao Shun is intercepted, the defeat of the horse thieves has already affected everyone. No one cares whether Matthew is alive or not. In other words, only Pang De is struggling at the moment, and the rest of the people are I think it's a good thing that Matthew has attracted Gao Shun, at least it will make it easier for him to escape.

Except Pound.

Even Pound's men seemed to have disappeared. I wonder if they followed Matthew.

Gao Shun looked around, and then his eyes fell on Pang De.

"You surrender," Gao Shun moved his hands and feet, "You are a warrior and should not be a horse thief." 』

Loyal people will be respected by others at all times.

Pang De was silent for a moment and shook his head, but he also whispered thank you.

Gao Shun looked at Pang De.

Pang De's eyes, after being slightly confused, seemed to become more determined.

Gao Shun sighed, stopped the guard who had jumped off his horse and stepped forward, and instead picked up the spear that fell on the ground, "It's rare." 』

Gao Shun is a warrior, so he respects warriors, and then he saw the look in Pound's eyes that only a pure warrior has...

The look of a warrior, a pure warrior.

Gao Shun himself is this kind of warrior.

Then he saw Pound and knew that he was also this kind of warrior.

Wear the thickest armor and receive the harshest beatings.

Endure the most painful injuries and suffer the most.

He doesn't speak much on weekdays, and he doesn't use sweet words or fancy articles, but in times of danger, he is still the most solid and reliable shield and the most reassuring sword and gun.

But swords, guns and shields will always be on the front line, tasting the blood of their opponents.

Or maybe it's your own...

"Then..." Gao Shun sighed and wiped the blood on the spear, "Let's fight!" 』

Gain joy in fighting and grow in fighting.

Or, die.

Warriors do not compete for superiority through rhetoric and sophistry, but whoever has a bigger fist will have a stronger reason.

Pang De stood silently holding the knife.

"Do you want to wipe off the blood?" Gao Shun shook his spear and asked.

Pang De stuck out his tongue and licked the blood flowing from his mouth, grinning, "It's okay!" 』

"good! ” Gao Shun’s eyes narrowed and his face became solemn.

Pang De also stopped laughing and raised his sword. His long-handled battle ax and his horse had gone somewhere, and in ground combat, the long-handled battle ax might not be able to be used.

The spear is longer.

The sword is shorter.

The red tassel shakes away, carrying yellow sand,

The blade is sharp and reflects the blood.

The two faced each other for a moment, and then they rushed towards each other in unison!

Gao Shun had a long spear, so he was the first to attack. Just when Pang De seemed to be charging straight forward, his feet were kicking sideways to the left and right, which could change the situation at any time. When changing positions, the spear moved forward, seemingly straight and straight. , it looks like a very common stab in the middle.

Pang De put a little force on his feet, and one side of his body immediately gave way to the spear, but Gao Shun's spear quickly changed from a forward thrust to a sweeping sweep, like a python rolling in the air!

From stabbing to sweeping, the change was very fast, as if Gao Shun had anticipated Pang De's reaction.

Similarly, Pound seemed to have predicted Gao Shun's moves. When Gao Shun's spear swept towards him, his body slipped like a fish, sliding along the harpoon, even the scales Never hurt!

Gao Shun took a step back.

The longer the spear is, the longer it is.

Gao Shun retreated in order to remain strong.

Pound, on the other hand, took the next step.

A short fighting knife is dangerous.

Pang De rushed in just to get into Gao Shun's attacking circle.

When Gao Shun retreated, he seemed to have stepped on something weak, or a stone hit his foot, causing it to twist. His body twisted slightly and lost his balance, and his spear was exposed.

Pang De's eyes flashed and he rushed in!

The sharp edge of the sword shone with cold light. No one could tell how many times Pound had struck out in such a short breath, and where on Gao Shun's body he had struck!

Amidst the exclamations of the people around him, Gao Shun didn't know when he was holding the tail of the spear with both hands. He stopped holding it with both hands. His body, which was shaking as if he had lost his balance, also stood firm and held it with both hands. The frame of the head gun and Pound's sword collided with each other, and fire flew between the two. For a moment, there was a chaotic sound, like gongs and drums beating rapidly, and every sound carried the breath of death!

As soon as the rabbit rises and the falcon falls, the two of them are separated at the first touch.

Gao Shun held his waist in pain, and then touched the new knife marks on his armor.

The knife mark penetrated the armor and blood oozed out, but it did not cause any major wounds.

Gao Shun raised his head and stared at Pang De. He looked displeased at first, then raised his eyebrows and said, "You kept your hand?" No... are you injured? 』

Pang De's originally stable body shook a little.

There were a lot of mottled bloodstains on his armor, with new and old colors mixed together. Without paying special attention, it was not easy to tell whether it was Pound's own blood or the blood of others.

Pang De laughed hoarsely, "You most of the guards wanted to kill me, but you didn't succeed..."

Gao Shun was stunned, "Dadu protector?" 』

Pound actually fought against Lu Bu?

Why did Gao Shun dare to raid Ma Xiu with 300 men? Because this is something Lu Bu often does and he is used to it. When Lu Bu was in the north, he even had 50 people directly attack Xianbei's tribe of tens of thousands of people. The Xianbei people didn't dare to go south until Lu Bu left Bingzhou.

Pang De was still looking east and west to detect Gao Shun's location, but he was directly caught up by the vanguard army led by Lu Bu!

Lu Bu, on the other hand, didn't even pause to adjust, and just led his men to charge!

Pang De's carefully trained men were like toys in front of Lu Bu, who could be played with them however they wanted. After a fierce attack, almost all of Pang De's men were exhausted, and the rest lost their courage and ran away.

Pang De naturally had a few fights with Lu Bu, but it was obvious that even Lu Bu, who had declined from his peak, was still Lu Bu.

On the battlefield, master-level martial arts in any one of the three aspects, such as strength, speed, and skill, is enough to dominate a party. However, Lu Bu has all three, so how can Pang De be Lu Bu's opponent? Being able to escape with injuries is already considered a great achievement.

"You were injured, but you still..."

Gao Shun only said half of what he said, and then did not continue.

Gao Shun originally wanted to ask Pound how he could come back even though he was injured, or how he could still disrupt those in his rear team, and why he really needed to save Matthew, etc., but later, Gao Shun asked again I don’t think I need to ask. He had seen many such people in the early years, but over the years, there seemed to be fewer and fewer such people.

Pound seemed to be unable to hold on any longer and was swaying, just holding his sword on the ground.

“A person like you shouldn’t be a horse thief. Gao Shun waved his hand, and he suddenly lost interest, "Just leave!" Count you and me as equals. As for your young master, I won’t chase him. Now that the Great Protector has gone to battle, you will not be able to resist even if you come back several times more. Just take care of yourself! 』

Before, Gao Shun thought that since he couldn't reach an agreement on language, he would just subdue Pound and then capture him. But now Gao Shun suddenly felt that even if Pound was captured, he might not surrender unless he Capture him and his young master together, and then he will surrender only after his young master also surrenders.

But now it's not impossible to pursue his young master, but it doesn't make much sense anymore.

On the one hand, the traces on the battlefield are scattered, and it is not very realistic to follow the traces. On the other hand, the supplies on our side have also bottomed out. If we continue to pursue them, even if we catch them, we may not be able to go back.

Gao Shun asked the guards to get out of the way and signaled Pang De to help himself.

Pang De looked at Gao Shun and was silent for a moment before saying, "Thank you for your mercy." 』

After a moment of pause, Pound suddenly said: "If you, the Protector-General, want to rule the Western Region, you'd better restrain yourself... Those who conquer violently will not last long after all..."

Gao Shun glanced sideways at Pang De without saying anything. He took the bag handed over by the guard at the side, put it on again, then bandaged the injury slightly, then mounted his horse, whistled, and gathered for a spin.

Pang De held his sword and panted, watching Gao Shun and others gradually go away. After he relaxed his spirit, he could no longer stand and fell to the ground with a thud.

Blue sky, white clouds.

Yellow sand, blood.

Dead and dying creatures.

Pound gasped, a smile appearing on his face stained by blood and dust.

It was a sense of relief that a burden had been lifted off.

On the other side, after escaping Gao Shun's pursuit, Ma Xiu found a remote place and helped his men to retrieve the arrows. After wrapping up the wounds, his panic and panic gradually calmed down. , then looked around and asked: "Ling Ming, where is Ling Ming?" 』

"Leader Pang...Leader Pang has cut off the rear..." a guard whispered, "I saw him and General Han both fell from their horses, I'm afraid..."

The guard didn't say anything further.

Everyone knows that in the desert, if you are sitting on a horse, you still have a chance to escape, but once you fall off the horse, it may be difficult to escape.

After falling from their horses, most of them were either killed in battle or captured.

"ah? ” Matthew subconsciously wanted to stand up, but soon, the injury on his thigh made it impossible for him to stand smoothly, so he sat back down again, “Ah... Ling Ming... quickly, go back and find a few people!” Go find it! 』

The guard looked somewhat embarrassed, "Big boss..."

If you go back at this time, aren't you looking for death?

The Han army still doesn’t know whether it has left or not. What if we happen to bump into the Han army when we return?

Even leader Pang can't beat him...

Matthew was furious, "I said I would go back and look for him!" Don’t you understand? Go quickly! 』

The guard was silent for a while, nodded in agreement, then retreated and found a few friends he had made friends with on weekdays. "The big boss said, let's go back to find the big boss..."

Several other friends secretly glanced at Matthew, and then looked back.

"ah? Crazy? We finally got rid of the Han army's pursuit. Wouldn't this turn back lead the Han army here again? 』

"That's right! What's more, isn't it that Chief Pang risked his life just to give us a chance to survive? We went back like this, and ended up attracting the Han army. Wouldn't it be a failure of Chief Pang's wishes? 』

"Yes, besides, this pang leader...I'm afraid...what will happen if we go back?" Even if Chief Pang is not dead, can we just grab someone from the Han army with just a few of us? 』

"That's right!" But over there with the big boss..."

"Otherwise, let's go out and walk around. On the one hand, we can confirm whether there are any pursuers. On the other hand... just say that we can't find them..."

"ah? Isn't this a bit bad..."

"not good? Okay, then let's go for a walk and you go find Leader Pang? 』

"Aha, that's what I said, of course I am with everyone..."

"Then it's settled. This matter cannot be leaked even to death..."

"Of course. 』

"Do not worry! 』

After some discussion, they pretended to lead the horses and walked back.

They had no intention of going back at all. They just circled around the area anyway. After a while, they went back and reported that they couldn't find it. What else could Matthew do?

Pound lay on the ground.

His wounds were not originally fatal.

If he was seriously injured, it would be impossible for him to escape from Lu Bu's hands.

But the current situation is fatal, because his wounds burst open under the continuous running and fighting.

If we can get timely treatment, maybe...

But no one came.

The cold wind of autumn and winter is howling.

Pang De's blood gradually stained the ground.

Gao Shun thought someone would come back to save Pang De, and Pang De thought so too, so he originally just wanted to take a rest, but as soon as he lay down, he couldn't get up again.

In a daze, it seemed like I was back to the past again.

While Pang De was still talking, Ma Teng took him and stood on the hill, pointing to the blue sky, which was also blue, and said, "Do you want to see this world?" 』

"I wanna go! Handsome! ” Young Pound’s voice was clear.

Ma Teng laughed and said, "Then come with me!" 』

Pound thanked Ma Teng because it was Ma Teng who discovered him, gave him food and clothing, and taught him martial arts. He treated him as if he were his own child. Therefore, Pang De gave all his loyalty to Ma Teng. Shi.

Along the way, he did see the world.

He saw Guanzhong and Shandong.

I have traveled through Hebei and the Western Regions.

He saw many different mountains, rivers, cities, and sentient beings.

But now, both the world and all living beings seemed to be disappearing, and only he was left.

The sky and the earth are faint.

The mountains and rivers are long.

Pang De slowly closed his eyes.

"Old Lord...I have no regrets in this life..."
