Chapter 77: Zhanbei Palace
The same place names as Guanzhong and Hetao refer to a region, not a specific city, and the land in Huangzhong is within Jincheng County, Liangzhou.
Jincheng County is a major county in the northwest. There are many Hu people in the county, among which Qiang people account for the majority.
The original Jincheng prefect Chen Yi and the Qiang-guard Ling Zheng were both killed in battle. The rebel thief Beigong Boyu in the prefect's mansion is sitting upright in the hall.
There were two people sitting upright on both sides, and a small man was whispering something in Beigong Boyu's ear.
Beigong Boyu's brows gradually frowned. Beigong Boyu's face was already full of flesh, but now his brows were frowning and looked even more ferocious. He asked, "Be serious about this?"
The pawn nodded and stepped aside.
Beigong Boyu suddenly stood up, picked up the sword on the side and said to the two people on both sides: "Spy, come and report, two spies sneak into our Jincheng. The two generals wait, I will go and capture the spies first!"
After saying that, Beigong Boyu shook the big knife in his hand and snatched out of the door.
In a house in Jincheng, two big men were sitting around the table and whispering softly. One was slightly dark and had a tough look on his face; the other was a larger national character with a steel beard. These two were Zang Ba and Zhou Cang sent by Guan Yan.
Zang Ba frowned and said, "Old Zhou, we just found that there seemed to be spies outside the house to monitor him."
When Zhou Cang heard this, he looked at the bustling crowd outside the window and said, "This person is coming and going, won't we see you?"
Zang Ba shook his head: "No, that man looked alert, had a strong body, and had a calluse on his mouth. He must be a member of the army. It seems that I must leave this Jincheng early!"
"Let's wait..." Zhou Cang was about to speak, when a rushing sound of horse hooves came from the street outside the door, followed by the panic of the crowd.
Zang Ba hurriedly got up and ran to the window, looking out along the hole in the window, and saw a group of Qiang soldiers, led by a burly man, galloping from the other side of the street.
Zang Ba looked at the leader and shouted in a daze: "No, Beigong Boyu is here, Lao Zhou takes the weapon and gets on the horse!"
When Zhou Cang heard this, he immediately pulled out a black gold ghost-headed spear from under the bed and threw it to Zang Ba. He took out a long pole and threw the knife, and said with a leap in his head: "Go!"
The two rushed out of the door and turned over the horse. Zang Ba looked at Zhou Cang firmly and said, "Old Zhou will take down the city gate. I will resist for a moment and follow!"
Zhou Cang was about to refute, but Zang Ba suddenly slapped Zhou Cang's mount with a gun. The horse was in pain and rushed out with a neigh.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Cang saw the fierce Beigong Boyu and others not far away, and knew that this was not a pretentious moment. He turned around and shouted: "Don't want to fight in love, come!"
Zang Ba nodded and looked at the background where Zhou Cang was gradually moving away. Zang Ba dragged the ghost head spear and squeezed his horse's belly with his feet, and rushed towards Beigong Boyu like an arrow stringed off-line.
Beigong Boyu saw a man running away on his horse and was shouting and preparing to chase after him. However, another rider rushed out of the house. The man on the horse was rushing towards him with a big gun in his hand.
Beigong Boyu looked at the visitor, sneered, shook the ring sword with his right hand, and shouted: "Kill him for me!"
As the distance was getting closer, Zang Ba's black golden spear was getting tighter and tighter, and his cold eyes were staring at Beigong Boyu.
When the two riders were intertwined, Zang Ba seized the opportunity, and the tip of the gun stalked forward like a poisonous snake, attacking Beigong Boyu's lower ribs.
Beigong Boyu hurriedly pulled the big knife horizontally and used the blade to protect it under his ribs.
The guns and swords collided, and there was a harsh metal sound, and sparks flew everywhere. Beigong Boyu looked at the concave point that was stabbed by the gun on the blade and shouted: "Good gunshot!"
Zang Ba did not make a blow, so he no longer thought about it. Looking at the Qiang soldiers coming immediately, Zang Ba stabbed two more shots in a flash.
Although these Qiang soldiers are also the best among the soldiers, their martial arts are still unmatched with Beigong Boyu. Zang Ba's two shots were powerful and extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, the two were shot and fell to the ground, and their breath was gone after a few convulsions.
After a round of competition, Zang Ba was not injured, but two people died on his side. Beigong Boyu looked at the two dead people on the ground and was furious: "The stupid thief takes his life!"
After saying that, he slapped his horse and rushed towards Zang Ba with his big sword.
Zang Ba did not say anything else, so he raised his gun and faced Beigong Boyu.
Beigong Boyu is strong and has a wide body, and is much stronger than Zang Ba in terms of strength. Beigong Boyu cuts Huashan with one move, and the ring knife turns into a black shadow, slashing towards Zang Ba from top to bottom. Zang Ba has no choice but to raise his gun to greet him.
"Damn~~~" The weapons collided with each other, and a loud noise came. Zang Ba gritted his teeth and pressed the big knife in Beigong Boyu's hand with difficulty. Seeing this, Beigong Boyu had a fierce force with both hands, and the ring knife pressed down again, approaching Zang Ba.
Looking at the blade getting closer and closer to his shoulders, and then looking at the Qiang man's rushing next to him, Zang Ba gritted his teeth and shouted: "Open!" After that, he burst out with strength and his arms, and he angrily pushed the big knife out.
Zang Ba immediately stabbed out a large gun from his hand on the right side of his body. A Qiang soldier who was preparing to attack Zang Ba was stabbed through his heart. Zang Ba returned the gun, but did not look at the little soldier. He just frowned and looked at Beigong Boyu's strong body. Zang Ba took a few breaths and thought to himself: This guy has such a lot of strength!
The big sword was bounced away, and Beigong Boyu became even more angry and took the opportunity to slash Zang Ba.
Zang Ba knew that he was unable to match his strength, so he flexibly dodged. Occasionally, he caught Beigong Boyu off guard. Zang Ba looked at the more and more Qiang soldiers around him and thought to himself: If this continues, he must be here. I believe that Lao Zhou also took the lead in taking the city gate, so it would be better to leave!
Thinking of this, Zang Ba returned the gun and picked up another Qiang soldier. Then he leaned forward, with his arms in his hand, and the black gold gun in his hand stabbed Beigong Boyu like a sharp arrow.
Beigong Boyu was shocked and hurriedly took back the sword to protect his body.
Seeing this, Zang Ba smiled slightly, and his left hand moved forward along the gun rod in an instant. The downward force reduced the direction of the front stab of the gun head by three inches, and stabbed the head of the war horse under Beigong Boyu's crotch.
The war horse's head was suddenly pierced and died suddenly. Beigong Boyu was concentrating on Zang Ba's shot, but how could he expect Zang Ba to suddenly attack the war horse? The war horse fell to the ground with a bang, and Beigong Boyu fell to the ground without any defense.
After Beigong Boyu landed on the ground, Zang Ba did not go to see it, but immediately turned the horse's head and stabbed several shots one after another. Several Qiang strokes were shot and fell to the ground, and a gap was revealed in the encirclement of Qiang soldiers.
Zang Ba seized the opportunity, clamped his legs and the horse's belly. The war horse was in pain, rushed forward and instantly rushed out of the encirclement.
