Chapter 138: Escape from Death (Part II)
However, there were also many Han soldiers arranged above the valley, holding stones one by one, waiting for the battle. When they saw the Qiang soldiers, they smashed them down! The stones are like rain, they are injured when they are next to each other, and they die when they touch them, and the Qiang soldiers are wailing one by one, and their faces are full of blood! After the stone was smashed, countless dead grass and trees were thrown on it, and the valley bottom was stuffed, dozens of rockets flew in, the dry grass burned at the touch of a touch, the fire was blazing, the Qiang soldiers hugged their heads and ran away, I was shocked, and looked up and sighed: "I inherited my father's will, and painstakingly operated the first zero Qiang for many years, just to unify the Qiang species and end the situation of the Qiang soldiers being divided. Alas, O gods, is it really going to kill my Qiang people? If so, it's better to die early! "He was holding a sword across his neck and was about to kill himself.
Yao Guo was shocked and shouted, "Qu Shuai can't!" Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, there are not many Han soldiers, we desperately break out, recruit troops, train soldiers, and we can be strong! ”
However, Mi Wu has made up his mind to die, and under the blazing fire, his face is miserable, full of despair! He shook his head and muttered, "The general trend is gone, it's impossible...... He yelled at the sky three times: "Does the sky want to destroy me?" Will the heavens break me? Will the heavens break me? "One is more desperate and miserable, piercing through the wails and circling and echoing in the valley.
He closed his eyes, his hands strengthened, and a trace of blood had flowed into the cold saber! At this moment, the wind blew fiercely in the sky, the dark clouds were thick, and with a boom, a lightning bolt pierced the sky, illuminating the whole world! Immediately after, the rumbling sound was incessant, one higher than the other, as if it was about to hammer this person to pieces. The dazzling lightning, from east to west, from south to north, tore the black sky to pieces. The black rain fell from the sky, blah, and thousands of thumb-sized thick lines plunged straight into the earth, and disappeared in a flash. The raging fire was extinguished in an instant, and the rest of the smoke billowed and drifted away with the wind, and after a while, there was no smoke left, only black ashes, followed by the rain, torrent away, I don't know where it flowed!
Mi Wu was overjoyed, and Zhenjian shouted: "Brothers, the sky will not destroy my Qiang people!" Everyone follow me and rush out! The Qiang people were soaked, the rain hit their faces, and they couldn't even open their eyes, but they were very happy, and said, "With the blessing of the stone gods, we Qiang people will be able to fight their way out of the siege and build their own homes!" The army's spirit was greatly boosted, so he followed Miwu and threw himself into the canyon. The canyon was blocked, the Qiang people were fearless, and went to move the stones, and after a while, a Biao army rushed out of the gourd valley and disappeared into the overwhelming rain.
The rockets of the Han army were extinguished, and the stones they raised forgot to be thrown, and a sudden heavy rain stunned them! Geng Gong stood in a daze, the rain drenched his body, and even more drenched his heart, he looked blankly at the Qiang soldiers scrambling to move stones in the canyon, and muttered: "The sky is endless, the sky is endless, the Qiang people are endless......"
Fan Qiang hurriedly said: "Brother, even if there is rain, we are condescending and occupy the geographical advantage, why not send people who dare to die to choke the valley mouth, and the Qiang soldiers will send one, kill one, send two, and kill a pair!" ”
Geng Gong sighed: "I also know astronomy, when I made this plan, I knew that it would not rain, how do I know that people don't know the calculations of heaven, but at this critical juncture, it actually rained heavily, alas, God bless the Qiang people, why should we disobey the will of heaven?" ”
"Brother, why are you superstitious?" Fan Qiang wiped the rain from his face and yelled loudly.
"Brother Qiang, why don't I want to finish my battle? However, you look at the soldiers of our army, one by one, they are frightened, where are there any fighters? If you look at the Qiang army again, they are scrambling to be the first, their morale is high, and they are losing their strengths, how can they survive? What's more, our army has few soldiers, and we protect the emperor, in case the Qiang soldiers fight back, how can we have to compensate for the loss? ”
Fan Qiang was silent, but unwilling, roared, and plunged the hunting fork into the dirt! Geng Gong turned around and said, "Let's go, protect the emperor, and go to Luoyang first." After this defeat, the Qiang army will not be reconciled and will definitely come again. At that time, we went to Longxi and fought to the death with the Qiang army! ”
The rain gradually decreased, Geng Gong, Fan Qiang, and Li Cheng led the Han soldiers, and came back dejected, and saw Emperor Zhang standing under the tree to avoid the rain, his whole body was soaked, and the rain continued to fall along the corners of his clothes. Geng Gong hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Emperor Zhang's face was pale, his body trembled slightly, coughed a few times, and trembled: "Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, if you hadn't rescued me thousands of miles, I'm afraid I would have become a prisoner of the Qiang army." ”
Geng Gong said ashamedly: "Your Majesty, the minister is not talented, he actually let the Qiang soldiers escape from under his nose, please ask the emperor to surrender!" ”
Before Emperor Zhang could speak, Ma Fang suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the Qiang soldiers have entered the gourd valley, it is already a dead end, catch turtles in the urn, of course, you can catch them!" However, the Qiang soldiers fled, and in the future, they will inevitably join the Xiongnu, unite with other Qiang species, and harass the borders of our country, and a war seems inevitable! ”
Queen Dou also said: "Cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so that there will be no trouble!" Geng Gong actually let go of the Qiang army for no reason, and the Qiang army will be angry and make a comeback in the future, and it will be even more difficult to deal with at that time! Your Majesty, although Geng Gong has meritorious, he has also had it! ”
Dou Du's eyes rolled and said: "Yes, yes, the Qiang soldiers have all entered the valley, our army is condescending, as long as one army chokes the valley mouth, and the rest of the people put arrows on it, where do the Qiang soldiers hide?" It's strange not to die! ”
Fan Qiang said angrily: "You only know afterthought!" You're amazing, you're amazing! Why are you like a turtle, hiding in the mountains, not daring to make a sound, not daring to breathe, where is your spirit? Where's the majesty? but ......"
"Fan Qiang, shut up!" Geng Gong roared. It turned out that Fan Qiang scolded even the emperor for saying this, and Emperor Zhang's face changed, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. Emperor Zhang was trapped on the mountain by the Qiang soldiers, worried day and night, suffered a lot, and was very embarrassed, of course he didn't want others to mention it. Geng Gong hurriedly knelt in the rain and said, "Your Majesty, Fan Qiang lost his words, please forgive the emperor!" The queen is right, Weichen is incompetent, failed to punish the Qiang soldiers, leaving endless troubles, please ask the emperor to condemn! ”
Emperor Zhang hurriedly leaned over and pulled Geng Gong up, and said, "What is Aiqing's crime?" Two thousand soldiers, but can defeat tens of thousands of people, so brave, how many people can there be in the world? My Han has such a good general, which is the blessing of the country! Hurry up, please get up, stay in Luoyang, I have my own reward! Emperor Zhang replied angrily: "Fan Qiang is right! When I was trapped up the mountain, where was your courage? Now that the Qiang soldiers have fled, you are still talking about the wind and cold! Hmph, whoever dares to speak falsely will be killed! ”
Queen Dou's face changed, and she pouted with a cherry mouth, but she didn't say a word after all, but Ma Fang was nothing. At that moment, Emperor Zhang led everyone to cross Liangzhou, pass through the West River, and go west to Luoyang. There were Geng Gong guards all the way, of course, Emperor Zhang was relieved, and after a few days, he had arrived in Luoyang and entered the palace.
