The Wind Rises Chapter 63 Ten Miles Away
This is the only place where Changshe leads to Yangzhai and the capital, and the merchants used to weave, chariots, horses, and chariots, but now it has turned into a purgatory on earth, a hell and a Shura field.
In the middle of the winding road and on both sides, in the grass, in the bushes, and under the trees, lay three to five thousand wounded and corpses.
Some were pierced by war spears and hung on trees, some were pierced by sharp arrows and lay in the middle of the road, some had broken hands and feet, some were blurred with flesh and blood, and they let out bursts of wails from time to time.
They are all farmers of the Han Dynasty, they are also the pillars of the family, and they are the brave men of the Taiping Dao to conquer the world.
It is regrettable that Bocai took more than 30,000 people to slip away, leaving them to the Han Iron Cavalry who came from afar, and now they are just a group of lambs bound in the slaughterhouse to be slaughtered, just a great battle in the eyes of the Han soldiers.
They could only look at the soldiers who came to reap the battle exploits with anger and hatred, their eyes filled with raging fire, but they were full of helplessness. Listening to the neighing of horses in the distance behind them, the crows on both sides of the road were mournful, and the cool breeze was sad, just like their state of mind at this time.
The war horse neighed, and when he saw the arrival of the army led by Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, Cao Cao hurriedly jumped off his horse, stepped forward and saluted: "See the big handsome!" The last general rode the commander Cao Cao to rescue late, and asked the marshal to punish him! ”
"Get up, Mende!"
Huangfu Song nodded, gave a hand, and rode on his horse to scan the surroundings: "In this battle, more than 3,000 people in your department will be one as ten, annihilating more than 3,000 opponents, forcing Bo Cai to lead the crowd to flee, only great merit, what is the crime?" This handsome will play for your majesty, please take credit for you! ”
"Thank you, Dashuai!"
Huangfu Song nodded, his eyes had moved to the side, looking directly at a knight beside Cao Cao, his eyebrows were upside down, his eyes were getting cold, and he shouted angrily so that everyone almost fell off their horses.
"Nonsense! The battlefield has been a place of life and death since ancient times, how can there be a reason for women to go to the battlefield? Huangfu Ling'er, what are you doing here? Don't you think the old man is not busy enough! ”
Everyone looked over together, only to see that the knight had a pinch of his mouth, gently took off his helmet and held it in his hand, tore off a strand of beard from the corner of his mouth, shook his hair, and his hair fell down gently.
Huangfu Song shouted angrily, pressed his temples with both hands, suppressed the faint anger that was about to erupt, arched his hand towards Cao Cao, and said: "Mengde, knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, Ling'er's temper is spoiled by the old man, have you ever been angry with her along the way?" The old man will wait for her to accompany you first! ”
Cao Cao opened his mouth in disdain, and just wanted to step forward to explain a few sentences, but saw Huangfu Song wave his hand again, staring at Huangfu Ling'er and shouting: "This battlefield has always been a sword and a sword and a spear, and the guns and cold arrows are in danger, where is the place for girls to play in the mountains and rivers?" The old man is a military officer, how can he find time to protect you? Go back to Luoyang for the old man immediately! ”
The voice was so harsh that no one had ever seen it.
It's a pity that this is completely a blind man with glamorous makeup - in vain! Huangfu Ling'er, who has always dared to act, where is his father so scared with a word?
Huangfu Ling'er pursed her lips and glanced behind Huangfu Song, but her eyes were quite aggrieved: "Didn't the wife and wife of Shang King Wuding lead the army to the west?" Didn't you also say that Ling'er was comparable to a middle school husband? My Huangfu Ling'er, even if it is better than a woman, but he is not a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken, and he has not walked the rivers and lakes, who wants you to protect him?
I heard that the moth thief is powerful, you and your brother have been trapped in the long club for more than ten days, if it weren't for the two brothers who are not at home, Ling'er won't come to see you? also let Ling'er grind Cao Duwei for several days! You don't want to see Ling'er, Ling'er is looking for her brother! ”
Cao Cao spread his hands and looked at Huangfu Song with a wry smile, if it weren't for the fact that Huangfu Ling'er was soft and hard, and even blocked the gate with a knife, if he wasn't afraid of hurting the beloved daughter of the current high-ranking and powerful Huangfu Zhonglang General, how could Cao Cao dare to risk the world's disapproval and let Huangfu Ling'er quietly disguise herself as a man and blend into the army?
It's Wang Li, Cao Cao has long heard that this person is good at perceiving opportunities, and took advantage of the Yellow Turban thieves' plan to rebel in Yecheng with the help of the power of a county to overturn the foundation of Taiping Dao Wei County in one fell swoop. Both civil and military, deep strategy, is indeed not comparable to the children of ordinary families.
When he entered Beijing, Wang Li had already led his troops to fight in Yangzhai Yuankeng, and this time he brought Huangfu Ling'er by the way, and he didn't have the idea of seeing Wang Li in his heart. It's a pity, seeing Huangfu Ling'er's expression of grievance and disappointment, it is obvious that Wang Li is not in the team at this time.
Cao Cao glanced at the direction in which Bo Cai had fled, and then at Huangfu Song, seeing that he didn't seem to be in a hurry, he paused in his heart and said thoughtfully: "Dashuai, Bo Cai has escaped early, now that the army has arrived, do you arrange personnel to take over, we will immediately pursue Yang Zhai and assist Wang Sima and others to break the thieves under Yang Zhai City?" ”
Zhu Jun stroked his beard with admiration on his face, and said to Huangfu Song, "I heard that Meng De has a delicate heart, and now I see that it really deserves its reputation!" Yizhen, since Meng De knows, did he quickly march to aid Deyu and do all his work to Yang Zhai? ”
"Leave 1,503 river knights in Hedong Lieutenant, and the rest of the people will wait for the soldiers to send Yang Zhai!" Huangfu Song waved his long sword, and then turned to Huangfu Ling'er and shouted angrily, "Your brother of the Wang family has driven his troops to ambush under Yangzhai City two hours ago, if you want to see him, set off with the old man's Chinese army!" ”
……
Yang Zhai, Eastern Han Dynasty Yingchuan County Zhiye.
Qin placed Yang Zhai County, Han Cheng Qin system. Han Gaozu rewarded according to meritorious deeds, sealed the letter of the king of Han here, and the following year was restored to Yingchuan County, which belonged to the Yuzhou Thorn History Department.
"Imperial Century" cloud: "Yu was named Xia Bo, in the south of Yuzhou, now Yangzhai, Henan." Later, Xia Qi inherited the throne of his father Yu, abolished the Zen concession system, created a situation of "family in the world", established the hereditary throne, set the capital Yangzhai, established the first dynasty in Chinese history, and divided the princes into alliances, and held the enjoyment of Juntai.
The sky has gradually brightened, although the sun has not yet come out, there have been a series of fiery red morning glows on the horizon, dyeing the sky red, like the fire under the city of Changshe last night.
Thinking of that fire, Bocai's heart hurt again, and when he went, he was full of spirit, as if he had won the champion Lang who crossed the horse and paraded the streets, and when he returned, he was miserable and lost his soul, but he was like a defeated rooster hanging his head.
More than 100,000 people were almost destroyed under the city of Changshe, and the rest were only two or three out of ten. What is even more painful is that these more than 30,000 troops have lost their hearts, how will they boost their fighting spirit, regain their confidence, and fight Changshe again, open up the connection between Yingchuan and Wei County, and complete the strategic deployment of General Tiangong?
Despite the fatigue of the journey, the army galloped on horseback.
From afar, you can see Yangzhai City standing majestically in the distance, the ten-mile city wall is like a giant dragon lying in the wilderness, the blue bricks and jade are solid, the cooking smoke in the city is curling, and the city head is hunting with flags.
Bo Cai's heart was a little excited, as long as he walked through this grove, he could reach Yangzhai safely for more than half an hour. I believe that when the time comes, as long as there are some rewards, the confidence of the soldiers will be boosted, and the soldiers will be recruited to stick to Yangzhai. Reshaping the prestige of the Yellow Turban Army on the East Road is bound to be just around the corner.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel upset, Bo Cai shook his horsewhip, raised his head and shouted: "Brothers, work harder, hurry up and rush back to Yangzhai!" ”
Before the words fell, I suddenly heard a neighing of horses in front of me, hundreds of cavalry in front had been divided into several sections, all of them were turned on their backs, the horses were lying in the middle of the road with a long neighing, and the knights were ejected and fell to the ground.
On the ground, bamboo tips and thorns, staghorn tree trunks are everywhere, and the stumbling ropes on the road and the wire ropes on the branches are criss-crossed, shining silver and bloodstained.
"Buzz!"
With a long roar of bull horns, two columns of Han troops turned out of the woods on both sides of the road ahead, with arrows on the string, bows in their hands, and long knives across their waists.
Although the number of people is less than 2,000, the momentum is like a rainbow.
At first, the two stood side by side, one holding a bright silver spear with clear eyebrows, and the other with a sword in his waist and hips, with a handsome face. The two of them did not have the momentum to look at the world, nor did they see ten times the fear of their enemies, so they stood lazily at the end of the road, putting endless pressure on the Yellow Turban army.
Bocai stood tall, staring closely at the woods in front of him, his broadsword lowered and raised, raised and lowered.
There was silence in the forest, there was no shouting of soldiers, no sound of horses, not even the whispering of frogs and birds, as if an incomparably fierce ancient beast was hiding in the woods and devouring everything with its bloody maw.
Looking through the forest, there is a direct avenue leading to Yangzhai, and Yangzhai City flickered in the fluttering military flag of the Han army.
However, after only a moment's hesitation, everyone felt as if an hour had passed, and there seemed to be a faint sound of horses' hooves chasing behind them. Raising their heads and looking at the Yangzhai City at the end of the road again, their eyes were also eager.
After many years of outlaw career, Bo Cai has long been destined to be the enthusiastic second (forced) young man, and he has long been destined to take an unusual character. Bo Cai snorted coldly, and the long knife was raised: "Rush!" Brothers, there is Yang Zhai ahead! ”
After the overwhelming fires, the half-night frenzied escape, there is no more inspiring command!
Yang Zhai, ahead is Yang Zhai! That's the home of 30,000 yellow turbans, that's where their lives are!
They looked at the majestic city as if they were looking at a lover or a wife leaning against the door waiting for them to come home, and there was no fear in their eyes, only a blazing heat.
Bo Cai gave an order, and 30,000 yellow turbans pounced forward like a swarm of locusts.
They dismounted and stomped on their feet, wielding broadswords and spears as hard as they slashed into the ground and the air, and even swept their shields like sledgehammers, cutting off bamboo tips, antlers, tripwires, and other obstacles that stood in the way of their home.
Although it is inevitable that some unlucky eggs will be injured by bamboo tips, antlers, wire ropes and tripping ropes during the cleaning process, so what? It's better than being a lonely ghost on both sides of the road.
What's more, behind the Han army is their homeland! Their hope!
Yang Zhai!
More than 10,000 soldiers struggled to clear the barricades, Wang Li, Zhao Yun and the Han army did not take the opportunity to launch any attack like the water dogs, but just quietly looked at the Yellow Turbans, with a trace of fire and pity in their eyes.
It wasn't until half an hour had passed, and the Yellow Turban was still three hundred meters away from them, that Wang Li waved his hand, and all the Han troops scattered into the forest like ghosts, silently and disappeared.
The woods fell into silence again, and listening to the sound of the Yellow Turbans gasping for breath beside him, Bocai's heart hung again.
If something goes wrong, there will be demons!
Sure enough, everyone had just finished clearing the barricades in front of them, and a bang sounded in the forest, and a huge iron arrow screamed with a dark cold light, and an arrow pierced the horse's head and continued to fly forward, and the war horse fell to the ground with a long neigh, smashing up endless dust.
However, the iron arrow seemed to be just a small appetizer, and no sooner had Bo leaned down to hide on the side of the war horse than the sound of strings in the woods sounded again, and there was an endless stream.
The rain of arrows in the sky tore through the void with a terrible roar, and flew like locusts.
