Chapter 6: Capture the King First

  This Ah Ha Ba was able to become the love of Su Bu Ke, naturally it wasn't a vain reputation. Early on when Zhang Zheng released those fake moves, Ah Ha Ba had already begun to defend himself! Seeing that shadow flying over, Ah Ha Ba immediately recognized it as the half steel knife from Zhang Zheng's hand earlier! Since Ah Ha Ba was prepared, he wouldn't be chopped by the steel knife. He tilted his head and let the steel knife pass by! Just as Ah Ha Ba turned back to face Zhang Zheng, suddenly, a severe pain came from his abdomen! Looking down, he saw that Zhang Zheng had already rushed to his side, the new steel knife in his hand was scraping against his abdomen, leaving a trail of blood!

  The gash pulled out by the steel knife was not deep, but it was bleeding profusely. Ah-ha-ba also didn't expect Zhang Zheng's speed to suddenly become so fast, and he quietly rushed under his horse! In a fit of anger, Ah-ha-ba raised his curved knife and slashed at Zhang Zheng's head, vowing to cut down the guy who dared to slash him in front of his horse!

  But Zhang Zhengke wasn't so easy to be chopped by Ah Ha, just as Ah Ha's curved knife was about to chop down, Zhang Zheng's entire body suddenly became slippery like a snake, his waist twisted and he actually stuck to the horse's belly and drilled to Ah Ha's other side, the steel knife in his hand chopped at Ah Ha again!

  Blood splattered everywhere! Another wound appeared on Ah-ha's thigh! The pain in his thigh made Ah-ha's eyes burn with rage, and he let out a strange cry. He swung the curved knife in his hand down at Zhang Zheng again, while his other hand clawed at Zhang's head like an iron talon!

  Faced with Ah-ha's iron claws and curved knife, Zhang Zheng's body twisted again, but in a very strange posture, he drilled through the two. However, the steel knife in his hand couldn't follow the twist, and was directly grabbed by Ah-ha's iron claw, turning it into a piece of scrap metal!

  Upon seeing this, Ah-ha-bu was overjoyed, even though Zhang Zheng had not been injured, but his only weapon had been rendered useless. It would be much easier to deal with Zhang Zheng from now on! However, just as this thought arose in Ah-ha-bu's mind, Zhang Zheng suddenly lifted his head, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes. His left hand swiftly wiped across his calf, and a cold light flashed out, shooting towards Ah-ha-bu's chest at an extremely fast speed! Ah-ha-bu had not expected that Zhang Zheng would still be able to counterattack to such an extent! The cold light struck him right in the chest, and Ah-ha-bu didn't even have time to react!

  That cold light was naturally the dagger hidden in Zhang Zheng's calf! The dagger was extremely sharp, and with Zhang Zheng's many years of assassination experience, this knife could be said to be ruthless, accurate, and directly hit Ah Ha's heart! And Zhang Zheng himself also brought inertia and pounced on Ah Ha's body, directly knocking Ah Ha off the horseback! And Zhang Zheng himself happened to take advantage of the situation and took Ah Ha's warhorse as his own!

  After mounting his horse, Zhang Zheng's gaze swept around in a circle. The Huren he had just defeated was no ordinary person. The surrounding Huren who were originally going to charge towards him were now all stunned and staring blankly! Seeing this situation, how could Zhang Zheng not seize the opportunity? He let out an angry shout, clamped his legs tightly, and galloped wildly in one direction! However, after the intense battle just now, combined with the dim night light, Zhang Zheng did not notice that the direction he was galloping towards was no longer the same as the one he had chosen on top of the city wall! Not far ahead of him, a cavalry unit was stationed there, and it was none other than Xusuo Gu, the leader of the Huren who attacked Ling Shi City this time.

  "Huh?" Since Ah-ha had taken the lead, Su Bu-ke also felt at ease. In his opinion, his top warrior was heading out, and that little Han soldier wasn't even a challenge. So his target shifted to the city ahead. As he looked up, the sky was almost bright, but the battle situation in front of the city was just as Su Bu-ke had expected - many grassland warriors had climbed onto the city walls and were engaging in close combat with the Han soldiers on top! It seemed that taking down Ling Shi City was a sure thing! Just as he was feeling pleased, he suddenly remembered Ah-ha being sent to take care of that little soldier. He turned his head to look around, but didn't see Ah-ha's figure anywhere. He froze for a moment before turning to ask the soldiers behind him: "Where did Ah-ha go?"

  Xu Bu Ke didn't know that the officers behind him were all thinking the same way, and they hadn't noticed the situation on the other side. Xu Bu Ke asked, and the officers behind him were all confused, not knowing what had happened. However, one of them was sharp-eyed and suddenly pointed forward, shouting: "Shanyu! Look, that seems to be Ah Ha Ba's mount!"

  Ahabak was the first brave warrior under Subutai, and his mount was naturally a fine horse rewarded by Subutai. Not only was it tall and large, but also had a bright red coat all over its body, which made it particularly eye-catching even in the night! When they heard the shout of the barbarian general, Subutai and others looked towards that direction, and they all recognized the precious horse at a glance! However, the person sitting on the horse was far from being as tall and majestic as Ahabak. Subutai frowned and said: "Ahabak has always loved his mount, how could he let someone else ride it?" It seemed that in Subutai's mind, he had never thought that Ahabak would die at someone else's hands!

  "Ah! No way!" The sharp-eyed Hu suddenly changed his face and shouted loudly: "Shanyu! That, that is the Han dog! Is the Han dog!"

  "What?" Xū Bó Gǔ and others were all startled, and at this time, Zhāng Zhèng was riding a precious horse and had already rushed to the front of Xū Bó Gǔ and others. Although they still couldn't see Zhāng Zhèng's appearance clearly, his Han military uniform was enough to explain everything! Now Xū Bó Gǔ and others were all stunned. Ah-ha-bá's mount had been snatched away by the Han soldier in front of them, while Ah-ha-bá himself had already disappeared without a trace. This could only mean one thing: Ah-ha-bá had been killed by this unassuming Han soldier!

  "Hmm!" Zhang Zheng also felt something was off at this moment, this clearly wasn't the breakout route he had chosen earlier on the city wall! However, there was no time for Zhang Zheng to turn his head and change direction now. Looking at those Hu people leaders wearing fine armor in front of him, Zhang Zheng immediately judged that these few men must be the leaders of the Hu people! At this moment, a crazy idea emerged in Zhang Zheng's mind. He lowered his body, bowed his head, stared fixedly at the front, and suddenly, a dagger had been pulled out from his calf without anyone noticing. The cold light flashing on the blade of the dagger already hinted at the killing intent in Zhang Zheng's heart!

  Capture the thief first, capture the king! If all these barbarian generals in front of him are killed, the Huns will have no leader and must be in great chaos. At that time, he can also take advantage of the situation to escape! This is the decision made by Zhang Zheng in this short moment! Looking at the increasingly close Huns generals in front of him, Zhang Zheng calmed down his emotions and maintained the most basic calmness! Zhang Zheng was very clear that there were not many Huns beside these Huns generals. To kill them, it was not an easy task, but Zhang Zheng had confidence, relying on his experience as a world-class killer! Killing people is what Zhang Zheng is best at!

  In the blink of an eye, Zhang Zheng's BMW had already rushed to the front of Xū Bó Gǔ, and beside Xū Bó Gǔ, those Hu generals were also shocked and pale. Anyone could see that this Han soldier was not harboring good intentions! Everyone immediately stepped forward to block the way in front of Xū Bó Gǔ, no matter what, they couldn't let the other side harm Xū Bó Gǔ!

  Looking at the three or four Hu generals who suddenly blocked his way, Zhang Zheng did not rush to take action, but instead used his legs again to force the BMW to whinny and accelerate its speed even faster! He charged straight into the several Hu generals in front of him!

  This collision immediately revealed the difference between Zhang Zheng's Bao Ma and other war horses. Hu Jiang, who was in the lead, was instantly knocked flying along with his horse, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he flew through the air. A series of cracking sounds came from his body, indicating that he would not survive. The remaining Hu Jiang were also unable to escape unscathed. Although they did not suffer as much, they were still knocked around, and one was even thrown off his horse. Before he could get up, the front hooves of his own mount landed squarely on his groin! This Hu Jiang let out a blood-curdling scream, curling up into a ball on the ground, unable to get up again!

  Zhang Zheng himself rushed to the front of Xū Bó Gǔ with one breath. As a professional killer, Zhang Zheng's eyesight was also very important, and he saw at a glance that Xū Bó Gǔ was the most important person among this group! So Zhang Zheng directly set his target on Xū Bó Gǔ, rushed to the front of the target with one breath, and the dagger in Zhang Zheng's hand was suddenly raised, carrying a deterrent cold light, and directly stabbed at Xū Bó Gǔ's body!

  However, Xubuge was not an ordinary character and could become the Chanyu of the Xiongnu. He was a rare and fierce general! Facing Zhang Zheng's direct and straightforward assassination attempt, Xubuge was also startled and broke out in cold sweat, but he instinctively retreated several steps on horseback, dodging Zhang Zheng's attack while shouting loudly to those around him: "Quickly! Come quickly! Kill him! Kill him!" At this moment, Xubuge had already lost his previous contempt and was facing life and death.

  When he heard the call of Xū Bó Gǔ, the surrounding Hú Jiàng and Hú soldiers also rushed to the scene! In an instant, Zhang Zheng was surrounded by a group of people! However, the more this happened, the more Zhang Zheng was convinced that Xū Bó Gǔ was the leader of the Hú people. At present, it was impossible to escape directly, and only by killing Xū Bó Gǔ and causing chaos among the Hú people could he have a chance to escape!
