Chapter 130: Capture the Horse
General Wang Jian regretted his hot head just now. However, there is no regret medicine sold in the world. Even stomping your feet and beating your chest on a horse is no longer helpful.
"Wait a minute, I'm wrong...... The tide is over! ”
When he looked back and saw the defeat like a tide, he knew very well that he had no chance to turn defeat into victory. And the cavalry of the Zhao State was in hot pursuit. If you insist on not leaving at that time, even if you die in battle, maybe you won't have the embarrassment you have now. But he now has no choice but to do it again. This sentence shouted with sadness, even Wang Jian himself felt that it was just an excuse. In the final analysis, he was still afraid of the fierce offensive of the cavalry of the Zhao State.
"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers! Great generals don't have to be like this...... After we return to Qin, we will reassemble the princes' soldiers and horses, make a comeback, and take revenge! ”
At this point, Gongzi Nie Yunfeng seemed very calm. In his opinion, the most important thing is to keep his life alive. There were 500,000 or 600,000 soldiers and horses in Great Qin, and even if all the 80,000 Qin troops who entered Zhao were lost, they would not be able to shake the foundation of the Qin State.
"Eldest Prince, do you think we can still run now?"
Wang Jian turned around, full of sadness. He drew his sword again, grabbed the reins of his horse, and began to slow down.
"General...... What are you doing?! ”
Nie Yunfeng was taken aback. It was too late to escape with all his might, but Wang Jian slowly stopped. Countless remnants of Qin Wei's defeated soldiers swarmed past him, fleeing to the distance despite the wind and sand. Wang Jian regained the majesty of the general, and he only said lightly.
"The target of the Zhao cavalry is me...... In that case, I should fight it here! ”
Listening to the slogans coming from the wind, Wang Jian really didn't want to run anymore. They have penetrated hundreds of miles into the territory of Zhao, and if they want to escape after defeat, unless a miracle happens. Otherwise, it will be harder than climbing to the sky! Rather than being chased around like a dog, it is better to have a vigorous battle, and it will not disgrace his honor as a famous general.
Hundreds of Qin troops who rode to protect him also stopped together. Since the general has made a decision, they naturally want to stay by his side. Born together, born together. Die, let's die together! This is the fate shared by all of them.
Nie Yunfeng hung his head helplessly. Looking into the vast distance, as far as the eye can see, here are the mountains and rivers of Zhao Kingdom. When he came, his eyes were full of conqueror's spirit. When he left, he had become a lost dog.
"Alright! I should advance and retreat with the general. Only wish...... Don't die at the hands of nameless rats! ”
Wang Jian nodded, he neither persuaded the noble son of the Qin State to leave, nor did he say a word of complaint to him. They were all generals of the Qin State, and their last dignity was only reflected in battle.
"You go and lead the defeated soldiers...... I hope to be able to get out of the territory of Zhao. ”
Wang Jian, who had sorted out his armor, gave a faint order to a lieutenant general beside him. The adjutant general, who had followed him for many years, said loudly with tears in his eyes and excitement.
"I'm not leaving! The last general is willing to die before the general...... ”
"Confused! How could tens of thousands of sons and daughters of Great Qin be buried so easily? If there is a glimmer of life, you can't give up. This is the order, execute it immediately! ”
The adjutant general looked at his stern expression and complied with the order, turned his horse and turned away. Wang Jian looked around and saw that all that was left around him were his henchmen and warriors who had followed him in a hundred battles. They all drew their swords and stood in front of the main general's horse, facing the wind and sand in front of them, and everyone's face showed a tragic color. He couldn't help but exclaim.
"O strong man! Do you dare to fight Zhao Jun to the death with me? ”
"Follow the General! Never give up! Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
Although there were only a few hundred horses, when they were all aroused by the ferocity of their bodies, the momentum was also very amazing. Even Nie Yunfeng was infected by their momentum, and shouted loudly with his sword drawn. Wang Jian couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
"Ha, ha, ha...... Good! In that case, I'll lead you to a great slaughter! General Ben's knife has not been stained with blood for a long time, and he will kill it today, so that the people of Zhao Guo know that it is powerful. If Chu Jiangmian is here, I will cut it with a knife and give you a strong voice! ”
However, before he could finish his majestic voice, he heard someone with mocking words coming through the smoke. It wasn't loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.
"Is it true? There's a price to be paid for bragging...... I'm here, you can kill me! ”
The boundless murderous aura came with wind and sand. Wang Jian squinted his eyes and could see clearly, and nearly a thousand cavalry Zhao Jun finally caught up. As soon as he rode and reined in his horse, the young man on horseback threw off his helmet and glanced over with a slight smile.
The horses neighed, and the two armies faced each other. Nie Yunfeng, who was beside Wang Jian, avoided Chu Jiangmian's gaze and whispered with mixed emotions.
"He is Chu Jiangmian...... That guy who has always been underestimated by the world! ”
Wang Jian laughed coldly. He was a general on the battlefield and never liked to participate in court affairs. In his mind, the reason why this prince of Zhao was hiding was just for the need to compete for power. Such a scheming and cunning person will surely be a great traitor in the future. He couldn't help but feel a lot of murderous intent in his heart, and the momentum of his whole body increased sharply, and he pointed at the other party with the knife in his hand.
"Shaft! Dare to spoil my plan. I'm going to kill them today! ”
"You've said it twice. As the saying goes, if you say a good thing three times, dogs hate to listen to it! Nagging, this is not like the style of a famous general. ”
Chu Jiangmian was unusual, looking at him lazily with contempt on the horse, and everyone could hear the meanness in his words.
When has Wang Jian ever been insulted like this! The hundreds of horsemen around him were furious. But he heard Chu Jiangmian sneering and said.
"Wang Jian, don't say I didn't give you a chance! Now it's too late to get off the horse and tie my hands and arrest it, I will open the net and forgive Qin Jun's sins. If you insist on resisting, what will happen...... I can't guarantee it. ”
"Chu Jiangmian! A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated. You deceive people too much...... Kill! ”
Wang Jian was simply angry. As soon as the knife in his hand was raised, the Qin army in front of his horse had already rushed out, and these warriors who had already put life and death aside wanted to make a desperate gamble and cut the other party under the horse.
It's just that in front of Chu Jiangmian, how could they have such an opportunity! Since they all regard death as home, Chu Jiangmian doesn't mind sending them "back to death"!
The sound of crossbow arrows suddenly sounded in his ears, and the cavalry of Zhao State, who surrounded him in a fan-shaped shape, had already aimed the crossbow at the other party. Thousands of crossbow arrows pierced through the sand and dust, and directly shot all the Qin troops who rushed forward under their horses. After three rounds of arrows, the eyes were empty, leaving only two war horses carrying their masters, standing there alone, Xiao Xiao screamed, very miserable.
Wang Jian's eyes were about to pop out. When he saw with his own eyes the power of Zhao Jun's crossbow arrows, he finally understood how the eight thousand Great Qin cavalry died.
"Chu Jiangmian! Take your life! ”
can be among the world's famous generals, Wang Jian's true ability is certainly not trivial. He was furious, slashed his sword, brought the sound of wind and thunder, and slashed straight towards the place where Chu Jiangmian was on the spot.
Chu Jiangmian was right away, looking at him calmly, not even moving. Before the knife with the fire of anger fell, Murong Licheng's war horse had already blocked in front of him, and with a swing of the lance, the knife flew into the sky. Then he rode over, lightly stretched his ape arm, grabbed Wang Jian's back and grabbed the silk silk, and with a fierce force, he walked the horse and captured the general, and then came to Chu Jiangmian and threw the Qin general in the dust.
Wang Jian fell face down, his face was full of sand, and he was as embarrassed as he wanted. Before he could struggle to stand up, he had already been pressed to the ground and tied up by the Zhao cavalry who jumped off the horse.
"General Wang, your famous general is outdated. Let's take a good look...... Our General Murong is a well-deserved future famous general! Hehe! ”
Chu Jiangmian smiled faintly, his face full of pride. Then, he looked up at Nie Yunfeng, who was full of sluggish expressions not far away, and waved his hand casually.
"Master Yunfeng, we meet again. As I said earlier, I invited you to Dragon City as a guest. This time you have company, and with General Wang Jian, you shouldn't be lonely. ”
Nie Yunfeng grinned awkwardly, with a wonderful look on his face. After a while, he threw the knife to the ground, jumped off the horse and walked to Chu Jiangmian, and said with a wry smile.
"Man is a sword, I am a fish. In that case, I have nothing to say. I would like to accompany General Wang to Dragon City...... Come on! ”
After speaking, he stretched out his hands and took the initiative to tie them. Now there is no point in resisting, he is the noble son of Qin, but he is not willing to die here in a daze. Chu Jiangmian smiled and waved his hand.
"Yunfeng Gongzi doesn't have to! Since you are going to be a guest, you have to look like a guest. Please stay with us, and soon we will be able to return to Dragon City together. So, is there anything else General Wang can say? ”
Chu Jiangmian was condescending, and asked with interest as he looked at Wang Jian, who had become a prisoner. Although Wang Jian was tied up with five flowers, he still tried to straighten up and said angrily.
"I don't have anything to say. The general of the defeated army is not brave enough...... If you want to kill or chop, please do whatever you want! ”
"Of course I'm not going to kill you. It's a pity that a famous general like you will be killed...... There's one thing I want you to accomplish, though. ”
"Chu Jiangmian! Don't be delusional...... I will never do anything for Zhao Guo! ”
"Oh? Are you sure...... What if the lives of tens of thousands of troops under your command are at stake? ”
"Huh! They will get rid of your pursuers and return to Qin. ”
"General Wang, what you think is too simple. The nearly 30,000 troops of Zhao State had already laid a net in front of them to cut off the way back...... How long can your hungry subordinates hold out? ”
Chu Jiangmian handed over his hole cards with a calm expression. Wang Jian's face was as dead as ashes in an instant, and he was completely desperate.
