Chapter Twenty-Six: Who Says Women Are Inferior to Men?
The cavalry of the Black Flag Khanate continued to pour into the city, and the walls of people in the city were scattered and fled. Li Xiaofei and Zhang Sheng discussed: Only by capturing the thief and capturing the king first and killing the tiger capital Meng Ke can there be a glimmer of life.
Li Xiaofei and Zhang Sheng gathered all the cavalry in the city, 480 people, and lined up to rush over and attack the tiger capital Mengke. The people who escaped from the city gate hugged the legs of the horses of Li Xiaofei and others, and some climbed on horseback to hide behind the cavalry, so that Li Xiaofei and Zhang Sheng could not organize the cavalry to attack the army of the Black Flag Khanate. The two sides fell into a street battle, and Li Xiaofei and Zhang Sheng, who were already injured, supported it for a long time before leaning against the edge of the city wall, surrounded by a circle of Liang troops to protect them, and the army of the Black Flag Khanate continued to rush into the city.
Li Xiaofei and Zhang Sheng glanced at each other, rushed out with all their might, cut down several cavalrymen, and sat on the ground with their eyes closed and waited for death. Seeing this, Hudu Meng Ke personally led the guards to kill him.
Just as Hudu Mengke approached the city gate, the soldiers of the Black Flag Khanate shouted one after another: "Kedun, that is Kedun's cloak, Kedun's scepter!" Hudu Meng Ke looked fixedly, and a woman at the gate of the city wore a red cloak and held a deer-headed scepter. This woman is Xiao Qian, when the army of the Black Flag Khanate broke down, she and Hongrui took their suitcases, put on a cloak embroidered with a gray wolf and white deer, and took out a deer head scepter. Listening to the earth-shattering shouts, Li Xiaofei and Zhang Sheng opened their eyes, only to see all the soldiers of the Black Flag Khanate dismounted and knelt on the ground and shouted: "Kedun bless, long live Kedun"
Hudu Mengke raised his scimitar and swooped straight at Xiao Qian, but was pulled off the horse by the attendants beside him: "Marshal Zuo, this is Kedun's scepter, you can't offend her." Hudu Meng Ke vomited blood angrily: "That's just a piece of clothing and a stick, and she is not Ke Dun, hurry up and kill her for me and take the city",
Hudu Mengke left and right, but no one moved, Xiao Qian spoke: "Your Queen Kedunhulu is my sister, my sister asked me to ask you, how long have you not milked your mother and cooked mutton, how long have you not sheared sheep and cut horns for your wife, how long have you not made beef jerky for your children and fed mare's milk wine?" Now that the ice and snow are coming, if you don't go back to the grassland, your mothers, wives and children will starve to death! ”
As soon as he finished saying this, many of the soldiers of the Black Flag Khanate cried, and some secretly snickered. It turned out that the Great Khan of the Black Flag Khanate, Pajaqili, was very afraid of his wife Kulu Kedun, everyone on the grassland knew it, Xiao Qian took out Kulu's cloak and scepter, the soldiers of the Black Flag Khanate were not afraid, and it had been more than three months since the army of the Black Flag Khanate left the grassland, and many people also wanted to return to the grassland, so they obeyed Xiao Qian's orders.
Hudu Mengke was willing to give up, and threw the scimitar in his hand at Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian couldn't dodge the left shoulder in the middle and fell off the horse. At this time, Li Xiaofei and Zhang Sheng also didn't care about the pain, and pounced on the tiger capital Mengke. The soldiers of the Black Flag Khanate knelt on the ground and didn't have time to get up, Li Xiaofei flew over from his horse and threw Hudu Mengke to the ground, Hudu Mengke's strength was much greater than Li Xiaofei's, and he choked Li Xiaofei's throat with a turnover, but Zhang Sheng also pounced and bit Hudu Mengke's throat with all his mouth. Hudu Mengke's guards also got up at this time and drew their knives to slash at Zhang Sheng, Zhang Sheng used the last trace of strength to bite off Hudu Mengke's throat, Hudu Mengke fluttered a few times and then there was no movement, and the guards hacked Zhang Sheng to death with knives, leaving only Li Xiaofei pressed under Hudu Mengke.
All this came too suddenly, and by the time Xiao Qian was helped to stand up, Zhang Sheng and Hudu Meng Ke were dead. Xiao Qian shouted loudly: "Don't fight, do you even want to disobey Kedun's will?" If you kill me and my friends, then your wives and children will be cursed by Kedun! When they heard the curse, they put down their weapons and knelt on the ground.
Xiao Qian forced herself to shout: "Kedun means that you hurry home to take care of your mother, wife and children, I mean that if you are willing to return to Mobei, we will give you silk cloth and iron pot", as soon as they heard the iron pot, the soldiers of the Black Flag Khanate shouted together: "Long live the great Kedun!" Then he left 500 men to collect the iron pots, and the rest of them withdrew from the city with bows and arrows.
Xiao Qian and Hongrui searched out all the iron pots in Suizhou City and handed them over to the soldiers of the Black Flag Khanate, and the soldiers of the Black Flag Khanate also strictly guarded their credibility and led the troops to retreat north.
When Li Xiaofei woke up, the government had already offered Zhang Sheng Chen He's tablet, and Sima Yan Shoudao of Suizhou said to Li Xiaofei: "Princess Xiao Qian used the iron pot of the whole city and the silk cloth of the government to exchange for the enemy's retreat, which is really a loss of power and humiliation of the country, and Xiao Qian should be executed in Suizhou City to thank the world!" Li Xiaofei wiped his eyes and asked again: "You said that the enemy army retreated?" Yan Shoudao replied: "Our army and people are united, risking their lives to resist the enemy, and finally repelled the enemy army with heroic righteousness!" Hongrui was about to refute but was interrupted by Li Xiaofei: "Why didn't I see your righteousness when I was injured!" When General Zhang was hacked to death by the enemy, where was your heroic righteousness? When the enemy army rushed into the city, we were all facing the enemy, where are you, Lord Yan? ”
Yan Shoudao's face did not change when he talked about the gentleman not standing under the dangerous wall and the gentleman of Tianxingjian to strive for self-improvement, Li Xiaofei jumped up despite the cracked wound and gave Yan Shoudao a slap: "If the princess does not retreat from the enemy today, where will it be your turn to make a generous statement here?" We waited for our lives not to defend the city, but in the end it was the work of a filthy man like you! How can there be such a truth in the world, Lao Tzu beheaded you first today! ”
Li Xiaofei had already drawn his sword as he spoke, but Yan Shoudao shouted: "I have a heroic and righteous spirit, and you wait for traitors and villains to kill loyal ministers indiscriminately, and people and gods are angry!" Xiao Qian and Hongrui stretched out their hands to stop Li Xiaofei, but Li Xiaofei was furious and couldn't stop it at all, and a sword pierced Yan Shoudao's chest.
