Chapter 10 This must be the biological father!

Wu Ming raised his right hand, and a large human head was lifted high, presented before the eyes of the crowd

The strict guidelines behind led the numerous white horse volunteers to follow closely like a shadow

A thunderous response echoed from behind, as over one hundred cavalrymen dismounted from their white horses, discarded their firearms, drew their swords, and rushed towards the earthen wall

Wen remained deeply worried. Although Gongsun Bai was a illegitimate son, he was ultimately the bloodline of Gongsun Zan. If anything were to happen, Gongsun Xu might be safe, but his position as the military officer would face great peril.

Before the words were finished, the cavalry was already ten paces away. Suddenly, a great sound of wind arose before the crowd, and the thunderous noise of hooves and the crackle of electricity rushed past them, as smoke-like dust quickly spread, blinding the eyes of the soldiers on both sides.

Gongsun Xu did not dare to linger and closely urged his horse to catch up

Tap tap tap

A dirt wall stretched across the entrance of the mountain path, completely blocking it. Behind the dirt wall, hundreds of soldiers from Beiping were drawing their bows, with a dense array of arrowheads ominously aimed at the center of the mountain path

Gongsun Zan stared blankly at Zhang Yu's severed head, noticing that the head was still attached to half of a shoulder, with the断口 of flesh and bone remarkably neat, achievable only by Gongsun Bai's sword that could cut through iron like mud

This is definitely my biological father

Ten people were lightly injured, three were seriously injured, and there were no fatalities, Wu Ming reported respectfully

Behind him, a thunderous voice of response arose: "Thanks to the efforts of Young Master Wugong, we have achieved a great victory!"

At this moment, Yan Gang had already led the White Horse Yisong to arrive, and upon seeing the head filled with terror and unwillingness, he immediately said: "Indeed, this person is Zhang Yu; I, the humble general, have fought against him in the past."

A concubine's illegitimate child dares to mock this noble-born legitimate son; if he does not show him a thing or two, how will he know who the true heir of the Gongsun family is

The white horse of Yisong was already a hundred paces ahead, and Gongsun Xu did not dare to be negligent. He could not afford to pay attention to the troops behind him and hurriedly urged his horse to closely follow.

Gongsun Xu Yue found it increasingly amusing and couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.

What?! Gongsun Zan almost jumped up, "With one hundred men against four hundred and sixty, we killed over three hundred, only wounding thirteen, and no one died?"

Drive

The soldiers rushed forward with a cheer, and Gongsun Xu and other generals dismounted one after another, just as they were about to step forward to greet, they heard a sharp shout from ahead: "Get out of the way! Those who block the path will die!"

A general clad in fish-scale armor knelt beside Gongsun Zan and said with trepidation: "General Chen Bi of the Second Tune of the Angry Blade Camp pays his respects to Marquis Ji"

Gongsun Zan raised his head in surprise, looking at Wu Ming in disbelief

It is the White Horse Yizong

This little rascal, lacking any proper conduct, yet I do enjoy hearing this.

The stern Gang, following closely behind, glanced at Gongsun Xu and said, "Young Master, please hurry and catch up."

The soldiers, as if awakening from a dream, surged towards the earthen wall, some pushing and others chopping, and in no time at all, they completely dismantled the wall.

Gongsun Zan reined in his horse and turned around, shouting, "Quickly tear down this earthen wall for me!"

The Duke of Ji personally took action, and he certainly understood what this meant. It seems that although this fifth son is a bastard, his status in the Duke of Ji's heart is not low at all

Gongsun Bai chuckled and said: "The child is the foremost general of the Han Dynasty, renowned throughout the world, the valiant General Fenwu, son of the Marquis of Ji and the Governor of Guangyang. How could he possibly be harmed by mere petty thieves? This is the blood of the bandit leader Zhang Yu."

Father! On horseback, Gongsun Bai looked at Gongsun Zan and was the first to understand what was happening, and in an instant, an indescribable feeling surged in his heart

This little wretch has been taken hostage by the bandits

After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath and said slowly yet firmly: "This battle relies entirely on the merit of Young Master Wu!"

The child does not believe! A loud cry came from behind.

Before the words had left his mouth, the white dragon suddenly swooped down with a flash of cold light. With a scream, the sharp lance had pierced the throat of General Chen Bi. Then, lifting the lance upward, Chen Bi's corpse was hoisted high before being thrown into the grass by the roadside.

Wu Ming's face was filled with excitement as he respectfully said: "In a narrow path encounter, we are without bows and arrows, and facing three with one should have been impossible. It is all due to the Fifth Young Master inspiring the morale of the entire army, leading by example, and personally slaying the bandit leader Zhang Yu, which completely shattered the morale and confidence of the bandit forces, allowing us to achieve such a great victory"

"Eldest son, will this action be inappropriate? If the fifth son were to encounter any misfortune, it would likely be difficult to explain to Ji Hou." The military officer beside him, Wen, spoke with evident concern.

Gongsun Xu cast a glance at the corpse of Chen Bi on the ground, feeling a chill surge from his feet to his head, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar

Gongsun Zan was still intoxicated by the long string of titles when he heard Wu Ming report: "I, Wu Ming of the Angry Blade Camp, under the orders of the Young Master, led one hundred men from my camp to intercept the remnants of the traitor Zhang Yu's forces, killing three hundred and thirty-two men, including the traitor Zhang Yu and Yang Xin, with one hundred and eighteen severely injured and forty-five captured, including the traitor Chen Jing. The mission has been accomplished, and I am now reporting back to Duke Ji."

The people on the opposite side were all astonished, looking at Gongsun Zan with confusion

However, the facts are evident; the soldiers of the Beiping army all have, to varying degrees, the severed heads of the Yellow Turban army hanging from their bodies. Some have two, some have three, and others have four or five, which is by no means an exaggeration

Gongsun Zan then realized that the troops opposite him were all his own subordinates. He cursed under his breath, calling them little beasts, and dismounted. He stepped forward to help Gongsun Bai up, and after silently examining him closely, he finally asked in a deep voice: "Why are there so many bloodstains on your face? Where are you injured?"

Hello!

Gongsun Zan asked in surprise, "What is the casualty situation of our army?"

Here!

Oh my, Ji Hou has also arrived

General Yan, the Cavalry Commander, has arrived

Rest assured, although Wu Ming is a traitor, he is also a seasoned veteran who has been through many battles. He will definitely not engage in a head-on confrontation with the Yellow Turban rebels; at most, he will suffer a bit and may even choose to hide, allowing the Yellow Turban rebels to escape. However, if he truly dares to avoid battle, he should not blame me for enforcing military law. Wu Ming and that scoundrel will certainly face consequences, haha ...

On that day in the hall, Gongsun Bai, that despicable wretch, was so eloquent that he could turn a piece of horse grass into gold. Who knows what slanderous words that wretch would utter in front of his father this time? Therefore, he must follow closely, not allowing that wretch any opportunity to defame him

Gongsun Zan rode his horse at full speed along the mountain path, the sound of the wind howling past his ears, feeling particularly frustrated that the horse was too slow

Drive

The White Dragon Horse soared into the air with its four hooves, darting past the eyes of the soldiers like a flash of lightning. On the horse's back, Gongsun Zan had a face as grim as water, not even casting a glance at them, and thus galloped away swiftly.

It is evident that Gongsun Xu, in order to prevent Wu Ming from evading battle, deliberately allowed the defeated Yellow Turban soldiers to escape and arranged a contingency plan at this location

"Put down the white child!" Gongsun Zan shouted sternly

Under a large flag embroidered with the two characters "Gongsun," Gongsun Xu, a military officer from Beiping, sits upright on an eight-foot tall white steed, his face displaying a calm and carefree demeanor, with a hint of pride and mockery in the smile at the corner of his mouth

Flags fluttered in the wind, and weapons stood like a forest, with hundreds of people standing in orderly formation on the flat ground at the foot of Wangniu Mountain

Hello

Yan Gang shouted sternly: "Why are you not hastily tearing down the wall together!"

With blood droplets all over his head and face, he sat crookedly on the back of a horse, while another person supported his back behind him

Before that dreamlike shadow of snow, a white dragon horse, standing at a height of 8 feet 5 inches and measuring 9 feet in length, galloped in as if soaring through the clouds. On its back sat a handsome and imposing middle-aged man, clad in a white robe and silver armor, holding a lance over 1 yard long, raised high, its blade shimmering brilliantly under the sunlight

... ...

Wu Ming, who was behind, also dismounted and led the soldiers in bowing, saying: "I pay my respects to the Marquis of Ji!"

Regarding the Yellow Turban Army, which can be considered a rabble, achieving a record of one defeat to four in a field battle can only be regarded as average. As a formidable hero who instilled fear in the northern regions, Gongsun Zan had a record of fifty cavalry defeating five hundred Xianbei cavalry. In field battles, once the enemy's formation is disrupted, they will inevitably collapse, leaving only the pursuit. However, now we find ourselves in a narrow confrontation, facing the battle-hardened remnants of the Yellow Turbans. In a life-and-death struggle, achieving a record of one defeat to three is already remarkable. Even more impressive is that not only did he defeat his opponent, but he also killed over three hundred, severely wounded more than one hundred, and captured forty-five. This achievement is indeed extraordinary.

Gongsun Xu's expression finally changed dramatically as he waved his hand to disperse the smoke and dust in front of him. He mounted his horse and raised his spear high, saying: "Quickly, follow me!"

Gongsun Zan squeezed his legs against the belly of the white dragon horse, urging it to gallop towards the mountain path like the wind, racing away swiftly

He hurriedly dismounted, but due to his haste, he nearly fell. After steadying himself, he turned to Gongsun Zan and smiled broadly without a care, then bent down and bowed, saying: "I pay my respects to you, Father"

Upon hearing the loud sound of hooves behind them, the soldiers behind the earthen wall turned around in unison. Recognizing it was Gongsun Zan, their expressions changed dramatically, and they all bowed down, saying: "I pay my respects to the Marquis of Ji!"

In the blink of an eye, the urgent and frantic Gongsun Zan had already galloped to the entrance of the mountain path on the west side of Wangniu Mountain, and the scene before him made him unable to contain his fury.

Gongsun Bai, seeing the shocked expression on Gongsun Zan's face, could not help but mutter to himself: it is quite embarrassing to have injured thirteen out of over one hundred fully armed elite soldiers sent to kill more than one hundred wounded peasants who are not even wearing armor

Gongsun Zan's eyes were filled with a chilling murderous intent as he asked in a deep voice: "Who is in command here?"

The crowd was taken aback and hurriedly dispersed to the sides like a tide. Gongsun Xu and Wen Ze, seeing that the more than one hundred riders were rushing towards them like the wind, showed no intention of slowing down, and could only lead their horses to quickly move aside.

As he turned the bend in the mountain path, the figure of Gongsun Bai came into his view

Suddenly, a rhythmic and powerful sound of hooves echoed from behind, causing the ground to tremble slightly. The soldiers could not help but turn their heads to look back, and under the golden sunlight, a flurry of snow-like figures rushed towards them like the wind. The dazzling whiteness blurred their vision.

With a sudden exclamation, Gongsun Xu could not help but slightly change his expression, hastily turning his horse's head to approach, while beside him, Wen Ze's face instantly turned pale, a feeling akin to the arrival of an apocalypse surged in his heart

This was the first thought that flashed through Gongsun Zan's mind
