42. The battle to the death
The military doctor was helpless, Zhu Di also frowned, Zhu Yanxue kept his eyes tightly closed, and when I touched my forehead, it burned badly. The military doctor said, "There's no way, if she doesn't treat it, her face will be even worse, don't let her look in the mirror in the future." ”
As he spoke, he picked up a pot of medicinal wine, and began to clean Zhu Yanxue's face, Zhu Yanxue's face was painful, and he immediately twisted, I didn't dare to look at it anymore, so I had to turn my head, Zhu Di held my head in his arms, and waited until the military doctor was all cleaned up before releasing me, the military doctor said, "It's okay now, take her back to the camp as soon as possible and let her rest." ”
It was still me and Zhu Yan who rode together, Zhu Di and the military doctor rode me back and forth, walking forward slowly, and when we arrived at the camp, the whole camp was slaughtered, many soldiers were devouring blood and licking wounds, I was about to persuade Zhu Di to rest for a while, but he told me with red eyes, don't rest, as soon as the day dawns, he will lead the army to kill again. I was shocked, "Lord Wang, are you crazy?" This is irrational! The warriors fought and marched all night without rest, and in this way overdrawn them, they would only ......"
"What will it be?" Zhu Di looked at me coldly, paused, and then said word by word, "Since Li Jinglong was appointed, he has been fighting against me vaguely, until last night, he pulled Ping'an to be the deputy general, and his 600,000 army really showed its due ability. ”
Zhu Di has always been steady, even if victory or defeat is a common thing for ten soldiers, I have never seen him so uneasy, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to speak anymore, I only cautiously followed him, watching him keep knocking on the table with his hand to think about things, and after a long time, he said to me, "Ah Yi, you may never have seen me like this tonight, a little scared." But with so many people, no one knows my real situation, and no one can really understand me. If I'm defeated, they'll be able to pack up and run around as an outcast, but where can I hide?
Since that day, I asked everyone in the palace whether they were against forbearance, maybe everyone was just a momentary mood, but I have already thought of today's scene. For me, every battle is a decisive battle, and from the moment we started our army, I was already charged with being a thief. In addition to my wife and children in the palace who have no way to follow me, Sanbao, Daoyan, Zhang Yu, Yue Longcheng, you, who else in the world really supports me? Can these subordinates who fought for me bloodily tonight really be trusted, and who can guarantee that they won't take my head to Yun Wei for an official position another night? My iron hooves have traveled all over Mongolia and traveled thousands of miles, but I am not an emperor, I can defeat Zhu Yunwen ten times, he is still the emperor, but as long as Zhu Yunwen defeats me once, I may never turn over and become a prisoner on death row! Every day may be the last day, every battle may be the last battle, I can only use my life to fight, everyone can afford to lose, if you lose, you can go home, you can surrender, and I, as long as I lose once, all that awaits me is death and humiliation. ”
I looked at Zhu Di's haggard face, and finally understood that this competition for power was a game that he couldn't lose. Posterity only remembers the glory of the moment he ascended the throne, but few can understand the pain and suffering he went through in the process of competing for that honor. For him, victory was not just about taking the throne, but about living.
I was silent, just looked at him quietly, Zhu Di paused for a while, and then whispered to me, "I'm sorry, Ah Yi, my warriors lost a lot tonight, and I really feel uncomfortable." Saying so many things to you that you shouldn't say will only increase your troubles, and it will do me no good. I have strictly forbidden you to come with the army, but since the day of departure, I have been looking forward to your arrival all the time, you see...... Am I conflicted? ”
I couldn't hold back my tears anymore, and I stepped forward and hugged him tightly, "I'm coming, I'm coming!" I'll never leave you half a step again! If you go to the front, I will accompany you, and you ask someone to prepare an armor for me, and I will be with you tomorrow! ”
Zhu Di also hugged me tightly, and after listening to my words, he pushed me away, "No, no, it's enough for you to wait for me here, you must not go into danger with me, everything I do now is just to ask you to have a peace and maintain the old days, if you follow me to be afraid, then what's the point of what I do?" ”
"Zhu Di! Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains can not be conquered by you alone, I will accompany you, and I will be qualified to enjoy the life you promised me in the future. ”
Zhu Di looked at me motionlessly, his two dark eyes were watery and trembling from time to time, "Okay! You'll be with me! Where I Zhu Di is, there is your piece of land! ”
I threw myself into his arms again, unwilling to separate for a long time, and as soon as the sky was bright, Zhu Di had already led the army to the river, and on the other side was Li Jinglong's army. Li Jinglong's subordinates have two experienced generals, Ping An and Zhai Neng, plus 600,000 troops, he has enough strength to defeat Zhu Di in one fell swoop, but I always think about what he said when I went to him, Zhu Yunwen said, you must not let him be charged with killing his uncle. If this is really the case, then Zhu Di's life safety can at least be guaranteed.
I don't care about any honor, what face, all I want is his peace and security.
As soon as the two armies started the war, they were inseparable, Ping An personally led the army into the rear wing of the Yan army, unstoppable, Zhu Di did not mess up because of this, he sent his general Qiu Fu to directly attack Li Jinglong's Chinese army, but he did not expect Qiu Fu to lose and return, and Zhu Di himself, but with a team of men and horses to outflank Li Jinglong's left flank, such a surprise was originally Zhu Di's brilliant plan, but helplessly the Yan army only had more than 100,000 people, and Li Jinglong had 600,000 troops in his hands, and they had enough people to spend with us.
I have been closely following Zhu Di, and I have never seen him raise a gun to kill the enemy so closely.
Today's Zhu Di seems to have killed the Yan army, and he personally swept over with a spear, and he had killed dozens of people in an instant, and I, with an embroidered spring knife, continued to help him clean up the soldiers who came to sneak attack, I also killed red eyes, who dares to touch my Zhu Di, there is no forgiveness! No mercy! Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are dogs, why bother me to have mercy!
At this moment, someone came to report, "Report ~~~~~!" Oh no, Lord Wang! Oh no, Lord Wang! ”
I turned around and exclaimed, "What's the matter?" ”
"Li Jinglong has also outflanked our left flank with several times more troops than us, and our rear has been completely surrounded, and we can no longer come to meet the prince!" The man said, almost crying, and I was really dumbfounded!
The rear army was all trapped, so Zhu Di and I were alone in the enemy territory and fighting alone! We are now the target of everyone, all the southern troops are ready to move, and everyone wants to capture Zhu Di to invite merit. If you can't kill it, even if you have one person and one knife, you can cut Zhu Di to the bones!
I leaned behind Zhu Di and looked around, asking, "What now?!" ”
Zhu Di snorted coldly, "It seems impossible to wait for someone to come to save you, it's better to wait for someone to save than to save yourself, if you can't kill it, Yi'er will die here with me today, we can't be born together, let's die together!" ”
After that, Zhu Di was already fighting like a trapped beast, he pulled out all the bows and arrows in the quiver, shot out in a row, the arrows were not missing, the arrows hurt people, and his own war horses were constantly injured by the bows and arrows of the Southern Army, and he had already exchanged three war horses with his subordinates!
Looking at his almost crazy momentum, I knew what he faced every time he went out, and I couldn't help but burst into tears and kill fiercely. When the arrows ran out, Zhu Di took out the sword at his waist again, and cut it when he saw someone. We killed all the way, retreated all the way, and finally retreated to the river embankment, and finally escaped from the hinterland of Li Jinglong's army, and at this time, Ping An Zhai Neng all gathered over, and they rushed over on all fronts.
And we have almost enough troops left in our hands. Zhu Di retreated to my side and said in despair, "Ah Yi, unexpectedly, you and I were buried on the river embankment today. In the future, I don't know if it will be spurned by thousands of people, or if someone will burn two handfuls of paper money for us. ”
I took his hand and cried and said, "Don't say that, there will be a turnaround." ”
But I myself have no faith at all, is the historical record wrong? Zhu Di is hands and eyes are open to the sky, if there is divine help, it is impossible to escape from under the noses of so many people with just the little strength he has left!
Zhu Di's sword had already broken due to excessive slashing, and he suddenly said to me, "Ah Yi, give me your embroidered spring knife." ”
I was shocked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"If a strong man dies in the end, if he cannot be defeated, rather than die in humiliation at their hands, he will end himself as if I have finished myself."
I hugged the hilt of my sword tightly, shook my head, and said, "No! No! You promised me, it can't be like this, and if we think about it, we will definitely be able to break through. ”
Zhu Di frowned, looked at the soldiers around him, and then looked at me, suddenly my eyes lit up, I looked towards his gaze, only to see a high slope not far away, and I didn't know what he thought, but I saw that he suddenly cut off the military flag of the Yan army, with his hand, ran to the high slope, stood on the slope, while shaking the flag, while constantly shouting to the slope, "Here!" Over here! ”
Everyone was shocked, they couldn't imagine that Zhu Di still had such a hand!
