Chapter 147, Extraneous Branch 1
As he spoke, he threw himself on his horse, and an arrow of feathered feathers swept over his head. The remaining ten Qin troops, who were also experienced warriors, hurriedly bent down and let their horses block them.
The war horses neighed, this wave of arrows did not hit the Qin army, but a few horses were shot, and those horses neighed, raised their hooves, and were about to gallop.
At this time, the general had already taken fifty officers and cavalry, blowing out like a whirlwind and rushing towards the Qin army.
Wang Jian knew that there was an ambush, and when he saw that the other party was numerous, he hurriedly ordered a retreat and personally returned to the palace. The only trouble was that these people did not have bows and arrows in their hands and could not stop the enemy.
Several of the Qin army's horses had fallen, and these Qin soldiers jumped off their horses, drew their swords in their hands, and shouted: "General, let's go, let's stop the official army." ”
Wang Jian said: "If there is no horse, you can't stop it, if you stay, you will be sent to death, two people and a horse, retreat quickly." ”
These Qin soldiers knew that two people riding a horse would not be able to run far. So instead of listening to the order, he rushed towards the officers and soldiers. Wang Jian sighed, he also knew the consequences of the two of them, and when he saw that they were desperate, he had to go with them.
Wang Jian took the remaining six people and ran backwards.
But there were too many officers and soldiers, how could those four Qin troops be able to stop fifty horsemen? The general only sent ten cavalry to deal with these four men, and then forty cavalry continued to chase Wang Qian, firing arrows as they pursued.
The four Qin troops were surrounded by ten cavalrymen, fought only a few rounds, or were swept down by horses or cut down by sabers, and all of them were killed.
Besides, Wang Jian didn't run far with his people, and two Qin soldiers had already fallen from their horses with arrows, and the enemy was chasing closer and closer.
The general ordered the men and horses to be arranged in a fan shape and outflanked from three sides. He had already seen that Wang Jian was the head of these people, and ordered not to shoot Wang Jian and capture him alive.
Wang Jian ran for a while, and the horses were hit by arrows one after another, neighed a few times, lost their front hooves, and threw Wang Jian to the ground. Wang Jian was vigorous, and he turned over and stood firmly, without falling.
When the remaining four Qin soldiers under his command saw this, they hurriedly turned their horses back, and one of the Qin soldiers shouted: "Hurry up and get on my horse, I will stay behind to resist the official army." He did not shout the word "general," which must never be shouted, lest they be heard by the enemy.
Wang Jian knew that today they had fallen into the mouth of the tiger, and it was impossible to escape, but the things that the King of Qin confessed must not give up halfway, he raised his hand to stop the four Qin soldiers from running towards him, and ordered: "You flee separately, no matter who it is, as long as you can see Bai Qi, it is the first work." The king's account matters most. ”
After saying that, he turned around, holding a big knife in his hand, and stared at the first officer and soldier who rushed over. The officer knew that Wang Jian was the leader, and did not dare to shoot arrows at him, and when he saw that he was not running, he was overjoyed, and rushed over, and the saber in his hand turned over, not with the blade, but with the back of the knife, and slammed Wang Jian in front of the door.
Wang Jian was not in a hurry, and saw that the knife was approaching his eyes, so he shrank his head, and the saber swept over his head, and then he slashed horizontally, like a grinding, and cut off one of the front legs of the man's war horse.
The horse neighed, rushed out a few steps and fell, and the officers and soldiers on the horse were caught off guard, thrown face down, and slapped firmly on the ground, and one face was immediately smashed.
However, he can block one person, can't stop the dozens of people behind, the general rushed up with men and horses, surrounded Wang Qian, and fought before and after, no matter how powerful Wang Jian is, it is difficult for two fists to reach four hands, not to mention that there are dozens of hands here, and he was knocked to the ground in a few moves, and several cavalrymen jumped off their horses to hold down and tied Wang Jian up.
When the other four Qin soldiers saw it, they knew that they could not save Wang Qian, so they had to turn their horses and flee, they fled in several directions, and the officers and generals ordered their men and horses to chase separately, so as not to let one slip through the net.
In the end, the four Qin soldiers could not escape, one of them was killed by arrows, and the other three were shot down by horses and captured alive.
At the end of the battle, Wang Jian and his party of eleven people, seven were killed, four were captured alive, and none of them, including Wang Qian, escaped.
The general triumphantly escorted the four men back to the city.
The city gate was reopened, and these dozens of cavalrymen, carrying four prisoners, walked along the street, causing a sensation in a county, and the common people talked a lot, not knowing who was arrested. The general was also happy, and in order to show his merits, he ordered Wang Jian and the four of them to be placed on horses, so that everyone could see, and he caught the leader of the anti-thieves.
The street was so noisy that it alarmed a person.
Originally, this man lived in a hotel in the city, had just eaten at noon, and was about to leave in the afternoon, and was packing his luggage, when he heard a commotion in the street, and he didn't know what was going on, so he pushed open the window of the room on the second floor and looked down.
When he saw clearly, it was the officials and soldiers in the city who caught the thief, and the man didn't care, just about to close the window, and suddenly saw Wang Jian on the horse.
This person was taken aback, and secretly thought that this was not General Wang, how could he come here and be caught?
This person is none other than Wu Xinlan, who saved Bai Qi and escaped from Huayin.
Since leaving Huayin, Wu Xinlan has taken his servants all the way, not in a hurry. She has been living in Huayin, and there are very few opportunities to go out, and when she comes out at this time, she is really like a bird out of the cage, and she is very happy. These people have hidden weapons, and everyone knows kung fu, so they are not afraid to go anywhere, so they don't look like they're fleeing, but like they're out to play.
Because of this, it is not fast.
Two days ago, they arrived in Xingping, not far from Meixian County, Wu Xinlan they lived in the county, after playing for two days, they bought some special products as a gift after seeing Bai Qi, just about to leave, but ran into Wang Jian was captured.
Wu Xinlan immediately decided, don't leave for now, and then let's see.
Wang Jian and others were first taken into prison, and then they came to see the county order and told him about the matter, and the county order believed in the words of the fine work, and rewarded the fine work at the moment and sent him to rest.
sent away the fine work, and the county commander discussed with the general how to deal with Wang Jian and the four people. In the way of the general's thoughts, you should first ask about the identities of these people, and then send them to the court, so that you can ask for credit. The county commander was a little worried, and said: "General, at the moment, our Xingping is sandwiched between Meixian and Xi'an, if we escort the prisoners, it is inevitable that they will be intercepted by their accomplices on the way, and they cannot be escorted out of the city." ”
The general thought about it: "What then? Is it true that the Dharma is rectified directly in the city? ”
The county commander shook his head: "In this case, the general's credit will be gone." Why don't we interrogate them first, see what their intentions are, and then kill or send, and then defend and seize. Maybe these people have an important mission, and it has a bearing on the war situation. ”
The general nodded in agreement, and the county order, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, ordered Wang Jian and others to be interrogated at night.
In the afternoon of the same day, Wu Xinlan ordered his subordinates to go to the edge of the prison to keep an eye on it, and as long as someone escorted Wang Jian and others out, they would immediately report it to her. The people sent there waited at the edge of the prison camp until it was dark and had dinner, and then they saw the general leading people into the prison camp and proposed that Wang Jian and the other four people come. Walked straight to the county office.
This person understood that this was going to be interrogated, so he hurried back to the inn and told Wu Xinlan.
Wu Xinlan thought about it, and now she had to understand what was going on, so she sneaked into the county government to listen to the trial, so she didn't bring anyone else, she changed into a tight night suit by herself, brought rope hooks and other things, and went straight to the county office.
Outside the back wall, she listened to no movement, and then climbed up the wall with a rope hook and jumped in.
There were people guarding the county office, but Wu Xinlan was not found, so Wu Xinlan carefully touched the back hall and found that the lights and water inside were bright, the officials were all in the hall, and the county order was also there, and they were being interrogated.
In fact, the county order has been interrogated for a while, and nothing has been asked, Wang Jian and others insisted that they were ordinary people, and after the thieves occupied Xi'an, they ran out of Xi'an and went to martial arts to vote for friends. If you ask anything else, you won't say anything. The name of the newspaper is, of course, also a pseudonym.
The county magistrate was furious and ordered the execution, so the hall began to crackle and beat the board, and these people gritted their teeth and said nothing.
Seeing that the board was useless, the county commander was very angry, and he ordered a major punishment.
As long as these things are put on the line, the person who is tortured will lie down for a month, and if it is a little heavier, he will be crippled for life, and if it is severe, he will be killed on the spot.
Wang Jian and the three Qin soldiers had already put life and death aside and ignored it. At their mercy.
