Chapter 739: Liver and Gall (8)
The smoke and dust stirred and the fire swayed, and the weight of the war horse itself and Yuwen Chengji threw it with all his might, and the strength was comparable to the heavens and the earth.
Whether it was Han Yue and the others or Yuwen Chengji's generals, they were all intimidated by the power of this blow, and they all had a trance for a moment, so that they suspended their actions and stared at the battlefield.
At the same time as the horse corpse hit the ground, a sharp straight knife was already across Yuwen Chengji's neck.
It can be called a treasure with a sharp blade, and it can easily cut the neck guard close to the skin and flesh, and with a little force, the head of the bearer can fall to the ground.
The person with the knife doesn't ask, but it is naturally Xu Le.
Although Yuwen Chengji's momentum is amazing, there is not much threat to a fighter like Xu Le.
After all, there are no hidden arrows on the battlefield, Xu Le can still dodge and parry, how can such a big horse not be able to dodge.
Besides, no matter what Yuwen Chengji's strength is, after all, he is injured in his body and exerts his strength on one leg, and the speed from lifting the horse to throwing is not fast, and Xu Le also has time to dodge.
Seunggi's blow was not so much to hurt others, but to save his face, and he wanted to fight for the last shred of dignity for himself before he died.
He is not afraid of death, just as he is not greedy for life, in fact, in terms of his mind, it is a relief for him to die at this point, at least he no longer has to face the identity of a rebellious minister and thief and his father who killed the king and usurped the throne.
It's just that he has a lot of resentment in his heart, and he still failed to realize his wish in the last battle of his life, and he was so embarrassed to lose.
From an outsider's point of view, Xu Le's success in one blow is a bit of a fluke, and if he does it again, I'm afraid he won't have such good luck.
But Chengji knew very well in his heart that Xu Le's spear was the embodiment of martial arts, courage and even adaptability.
If you lose in that move, you are not as skilled as others and have nothing to say.
Xiaoguo is an invincible general, but after all, he is still inferior to Shenwu Young Lang.
The blade is pressing, Chengji's face is flat, he has no fear, and he is ready to meet his fate.
As a fighting general, defeat is death, this is also the fate of a martial artist, why regret if you die?
The generals and horses under the command of Cheng Ji also reacted at this time, and shouted and raised their bows and crossbows to Xu Le and the Han brothers and others, and someone shouted: "Let my family Langjun go, otherwise Guan Er and others will die here." ”
At this moment, the neighing of horses came, and the iron horsemen who were chasing from the maze had already arrived at the ferry.
Different from the previous small fights, the armored cavalry that gathered Yu Wenhua and all the soldiers who could fight in his hands was assembled, and the troops were both equipped and complete.
In order to ride fast horses, this cavalry did not have many armored horses, but composed of light cavalry with light armor and fast horses.
The soldier was armed with a short bow and arrows, and as long as he gave an order, he would shoot Xu Le and others on the spot.
But what these people didn't expect was that they encountered such a tricky situation, so that Sima Dekan, who was the temporary commander, turned black in his eyes and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
How unfair is God?
Why did you just let yourself encounter such bad luck?
Yuwen Chengji is known as invincible, even if he is not Xu Le's opponent, he can always be invincible.
Besides, there are many horses under him, Xu Le's line is only a few people, and he rushes up with more fights and fewer people, and he relies on human lives to fill them and crush them.
Why go it alone, let alone fall into the position of being captured?
At the moment, as long as he gives an order, Xu Le and the others will naturally be unable to escape their lives, and the jade seal can also be handed back to Yu Wenhua in his hand, but Yuwen Chengji's life will also be buried together.
The so-called saint is ruthless, and in the past, Yang Guang did not hesitate to kill his brother in order to seize the country.
Yu Wenhua may not be able to sacrifice his eldest son for the supreme throne.
But the problem is that this decision can only be made by Yu Wenhua and himself, and outsiders can never make decisions on his behalf.
What's more, Chengji is not only the son of Yu Wenhua, but also the first general in the current Xiaoguo army.
If he hurt his life, Yu Wenhua would not be surprised if he didn't cut himself with a thousand knives.
But if you let Chengji go, you can't get back the jade seal, and it's a death.
Advancing and retreating is a dead end, this kind of sinister situation makes Sima Dekan panic in his heart, and he can't help but feel a little grieved, feeling that God is blind, God is unfair, why did such an unfortunate thing happen to him.
He had no choice but to yell at Xu Le like those Yuwen generals: "Be bold Xu Le, let Lang Jun go quickly, otherwise you will have to wait for death and have no place to be buried!" You and I are both military generals, and I also admire your ability, as long as you hand over the jade seal and return it to Dalang, you will be allowed to return to Chang'an! ”
Decree?
Xu Le was slightly stunned, and then turned his gaze to Yang Si, who was looking at him.
In his heart, he suddenly scolded himself: Yang Guang is really treacherous, even when he is about to die, he does not forget to play tricks.
He believed that Sima Dekan would not lie about this kind of thing, Yang Guang was so anxious to support the orphan, although he had a little bit of calf licking, but I am afraid that it would take more into consideration in the world.
The rebellion has been completed, and the Great Sui is doomed, Yang Guang neither wants Yu Wenhua and this rebel party to succeed in usurping the throne, nor does he want Li Yuan's imperial hegemony to be achieved too easily, so he used such a trick to blame Jiangdong.
Yang Guang is dead, the Great Sui is dead, the order of respect and inferiority established by the Yang family for two generations, father and son, has disappeared, and the princes of the world covet the imperial throne.
For all heroes who aspire to the world, the jade seal is a treasure that must be captured.
Of course, in Xu Le's view, authority should be based on strength, not on a small jade seal.
As long as their own soldiers are strong and strong, who dares to disrespect orders?
But the princes of all parties, including Li Yuan, obviously would not think like this.
When it comes to the heroes who rise up today, who doesn't think they are the children of destiny?
The jade seal is the proof of the favor of the mandate of heaven, and whoever can have the jade seal will have a little more confidence first.
Moreover, since ancient times, the name is justifiable, with the jade seal in hand, you can give orders as the son of heaven, and the generals with heavy troops in various places may not everyone will buy the jade seal's account, but there are still people who will take orthodoxy and the mandate of heaven very seriously.
Even if the proportion of this kind of person is very small, it can also have a great impact on the hegemony of all kinds of heroes.
Since ancient times, jade seals have been fought for by those who aspire to the world.
Li Yuan had a vague plan before, hibernating Jinyang to polish his minions and hold back, and successfully deceived Yang Guang and swept through Guanzhong with one blow, which obviously made Yang Guang unable to let go.
This time he sent the jade seal to Li Yuan, which was to avenge the death of an arrow.
The jade seal is like a fishing hook wrapped in incense bait, even if it is as scheming as Li Yuan, it is impossible [567 Chinese] to be indifferent, even if he sees the harm, he will hold the jade seal tightly in his hand.
But in this way, he is bound to become the target of everyone, and all the princes in the world will regard Li Yuan, who has the jade seal, as the number one enemy, and he must be killed first to seize the jade seal before he can feel at ease.
No matter how much Li Yuan wanted to wait for the opportunity with forbearance or rely on the name of benevolence and power to scheming, he couldn't do it, so he could only face the heroes head-on.
Even if he can't see Li Yuan's appearance after he dies, as long as he can make all his strategies invalid and become the public enemy of the heroes, it can be regarded as a sigh of relief for Yang Guang.
The so-called dying man is also good at his words, and most of these words are not used on Yang Guang's head.
Even if he knows that the deadline is approaching, he still plots to kill people, and even implicates his own daughter, this is the true face of the Son of Heaven.
In order to seize the throne, he did not hesitate to kill his brother and even kill his brother Manmen, and now it is impossible to really care about other things for the sake of his daughter's life.
Unconsciously, these people became pawns in Yang Guang's hands.
It's just that Yang Guang obviously underestimated the strength of Yu Wenji, and he didn't expect the variable of Yuwen Chengji.
Seeing the team coming, Xu Le knew that the situation was not good.
Now this situation has become a tiger riding trend, although the other party does not dare to do it easily, but it will not retreat casually.
After all, tonight's rebellion is not something that the Yuwen family can do, and now that Yang Guang is dead, all families may be able to win the supreme throne.
If he gave up seizing the jade seal for the sake of Chengji alone, Yu Wenhua would be afraid that it would be difficult to convince the public, and he would not be able to sit still if he reluctantly ascended the throne.
For the sake of their throne and even their lives, most of them have to sacrifice the foundation.
Xu Le is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want the Han brothers, Bu Li, and even Yang Si to die here.
Even if tonight's incident was Yang Guang's strategy, but since he promised Yang Guang to take care of his daughter, he had to talk about it, and what kind of hero was he who broke his promise halfway?
It was the treasure knife in Xu Le's hand that was across Chengji's neck, and shouted at Han Yue and the others: "Board the ship!" ”
Then he yelled at Sima Dekan: "If anyone releases an arrow, he will kill Chengji!" ”
"Lost the blade! Let go of the eldest prince! ”
Sima Dekan also did not show weakness, "Otherwise, one of your companions will not be able to leave!" ”
As he spoke, Sima had already instructed the generals around him: "Take down those companions!" ”
However, Han Yue and the others' reactions were only faster than Sima Dekan's, in fact, before Xu Le shouted, these people had already rushed towards Xu Le's side.
Among them, Yang Si was the only one who was slow to move without knowing martial arts, and Han Yue had no choice but to carry her on his back and rush towards Xu Le.
Sima Dekan's eyes widened angrily, and he shouted: "Whoever dares to run one step further, so-and-so will release the arrow!" ”
The knife in Xu Le's hand was slightly forced: "Yuwen Chengji's life fell into your hands, if you want to release the arrow, just give the order!" ”
Those generals under the command of Chengji were afraid that Sima Dekan would be in a hurry, regardless of the life or death of the eldest prince, and hurriedly shouted at Sima Dekan: "Don't be reckless!" If Lang Jun misses, it will be difficult for the whole family to be protected! ”
Sima Dekan saw that Han Yue and the others were about to run to Xu Le's side, and there was no movement on his side, these people were only afraid that they would really run to the boat, and their hearts became more and more anxious.
killed Chengji and let go of the jade seal, and he couldn't afford either of these two crimes.
At the moment, I can only keep the jade seal first and then mention others.
Moreover, most of the jade seals are on Yang Si, and he only kills Yang Si and those companions to seize the seal and then let Xu Le go, Yuwen Chengji may not necessarily die.
His mind was spinning so fast that he had already made up his mind in the blink of an eye.
The palms of his hands were raised high, ready to give the order to go down and shoot Han Yue and the others.
But when his hand was just raised and didn't fall, he saw Chengji suddenly exert force on one leg and rush towards Xu Lebao's blade!
