Volume 2: Turbulent Waves Chapter 69: Beheading

Arrows fly like rain, spears are like forests, and the pursuit of officials and soldiers is endless!

Almost every two steps of escape had to be covered with a wooden shield, the officers and soldiers of the Sui army were well equipped, and under the continuous pursuit, the rest of the Chu army behind the palace eventually inevitably collapsed.

Han Shi'e held a large shield in his left hand, and the horizontal knife in his right hand kept chopping. But the annihilation of the whole army could no longer be avoided, one Sui soldier fell, and the other rushed up.

At this time, Zhang Hailema rushed back, came to him, and shouted: "General, we can't stand it, go quickly." "Behind me, the road was already covered with dead bodies. The more than 3,000 soldiers behind the palace have almost been wiped out, and the remaining wounded soldiers have no strength to resist.

Han Shi'e glanced at him, gritted his teeth, climbed on the war horse, and the two rode together, shouting, "Go!" ”

At this time, Qu Tutong's elite cavalry chased after him again.

Poof!

A rain of arrows came from the officers and soldiers intercepting in front, and Zhang Hai snorted in pain and fell to the ground and died.

The horses also fell to their deaths with a wail.

Han Shi'e struggled to jump up, and suddenly let out a long howl, soaring straight into the sky, which was the injustice of the hero's end.

Before he could commit suicide, several Sui soldiers immediately surrounded him, surrounded by iron cables, and tied him tightly.

Qu Tutong rode his horse to arrive, condescending, and said proudly: "How? ”

Han Shi'e was arrested, sighed, and said: "General Qu, the Son of Heaven has no way, and the people will punish him, and he will die in the Great Sui." But it's a pity that Han Shi'e can't see it. ”

These words touched Qu Tutong's bottom line.

A trace of disappointment appeared on Qu Tutong's face, and he said sharply: "Escort down, send to Luoyang, and be punished." ”

Han Shi'e laughed and was pressed down.

In front of the official road in Kunshan, a carriage was walking in embarrassment.

Wei Chigong and Liu Zhuang were separated when they blocked the pursuing soldiers, leaving only He Huailiang and Li Baiyao to catch up.

Suddenly, a military horse flashed to the side in front, waving the flag of Wei, and the first general blocked the way, and shouted: "The thief is not going to get off the horse and die quickly!" ”

"Oops!" He Huailiang and Li Baiyao secretly complained.

At this time, I could only hear someone in the car scolding: "Presumptuous, Wei Xiaoying!" Don't you even recognize me?" Wei Jue lifted the curtain and revealed his true face.

"Miss, it's you who are back. The villain should be damned, please forgive the eldest lady. Wei Ying recognized Wei Jue's identity, and apologized again and again.

Wei Jue said: "Forget it, you send someone to escort me home." ”

"Miss, please." Wei Ying divided his team and followed Wei Jue and his party into Guanzhong.

Xu Xiaohui and Yang Min followed her and luckily escaped.

Li Baiyao and He Huailiang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so they had to temporarily live in the Wei Mansion.

At this point, the Chu army under the city of Shaanzhou, which had time to cross the river in the future, was pursued by Qu Tutong, and the whole army was annihilated, and there were many children of the captured officials and eunuchs.

Outside Maocheng, the Sui army was heavily besieged.

Because most of the children in the battalion are from Wuwei County (Wuhu, Anhui), they are also known as the Dreadnought Army.

On the fourth day of the siege, just after dawn, a war drum could be heard in the distance from far and near, and the banner of the Sui army swayed, the dust flew, and a new round of success began.

In a moment, the brutal attack and defense opened again, this is the elite of the two thousand dreadnought troops, all fierce and murderous, with the desire for meritorious service on their faces, surging up like ants, climbing the city extremely fast.

After the sun first rose, they woke up from the bitter battle, and the officers and soldiers had already rushed to the outside of the city, and the ladders and swords and shields were fighting, and they all shouted and killed very loudly, and it was spread far away for a while, so that the defenders of the city rushed to the battle.

"Enemy attack, hurry up and defend the city!" The defenders of the city immediately became vigilant, and Gao Si sent people to strengthen the defense early.

A moment later, Chang He, the guard who was resting in turn, had also rushed to the city with his sword.

When he arrived at the city wall, he slashed down a few Sui soldiers, Chang He was already covered in blood, raised his big knife, and asked loudly: "Which one will come to death again?" ”

Hearing the shouting from the city, the officers and soldiers who climbed the wall below were frustrated.

Gao Si took the opportunity to lead people to counterattack, urged the soldiers defending the city, and stepped forward to kill a wave of officers and soldiers, and then said loudly: "I swear to live and die with all the kings and hold on." This time, never die! ”

"Never die!" Morale was restored, and the offensive and defensive sides were once again in a tug-of-war.

The rear Xiaoguo forbidden army camp, surrounded by all the generals, is sought after by everyone, but because the war was not over at the beginning, Yu Wenhua and still have three points reserved.

Yuwen Seventeen, who had been invited to watch the battle, pondered for a moment and asked loudly: "You said that Chen Ling worked hard to attack the city, and success is imminent?" ”

"Yes, the dreadnoughts have broken through the city several times today, and if it weren't for the courage of the thief chieftain, the city would have been broken." Yuwen Seventeen was silent for a moment, and after a while, he said: "Lord Valve, tomorrow you can let Chen Lingbu withdraw and rest and enter the city, exempt him from the military order, and let us break the city, how about it?" ”

"Good." Yu culture and great joy.

"That being the case, let the sons and daughters eat and drink enough today, and the Ming Dynasty ordered Chen Ling and them to retreat five miles, and then we will send troops to exterminate the traitors in the city."

"Handsome and wise." The surrounding generals gave up their hands one after another in favor of this proposition.

"No!" When Yuwen Seventeen heard this, he immediately went out to arrange a reward for the soldiers, and then prepared to snatch the battle merits on the second day.

It was a dark day in the evening, with dark clouds and thunder, and soon heavy rain poured down from the sky.

Chen Ling took the heavy rain as an excuse for the siege of the city, so he withdrew his men and horses and temporarily repaired them.

"Close the gate of the wall, and you can't go to war without an order. Violators, even if they win, they will be killed! "The Dreadnought's camp was completely closed.

In the middle of the night, the drawbridge was slowly lowered, the city gate was opened, and the remaining five thousand soldiers were killed in three teams.

Gao Si rode out of the city, he took the lead with his sword, let the heavy rain fall, and the breakthrough formation was ready.

In this regard, the generals understand very well, just after a major war, the garrison of the officers and soldiers will inevitably be relaxed, and the chances of breaking through the siege and escaping for their lives will naturally increase greatly.

When Chen Ling gathered his men, Gao Si observed the changes in the evil spirit of the officials and troops under the city, and finally determined that the change was in the enemy army who was desperately attacking the city.

"Yang Jishan, Yang Xuanzong, Wang Boren, Zhou Zhong!" After deciding to break through, he immediately summoned the generals to assign a combat strategy.

"The last general!" Everyone answered in unison.

"Listen, if you want to break through, you must get horses, let's go straight to the camp of the old thief in Yuwenshu, seize the war horses, and then break through at night." Gao Si said coldly, but he was full of murderous intentions.

When Cui Yuanshu heard this, he gasped and asked, "General Gao's strategy, how to guard against the besieging officers and soldiers under the city?" ”

"Don't worry, I have long expected that in tonight's battle, this army will definitely sit back and watch the success or failure...... Go ahead and prepare! If it is successful, after fleeing quickly, go to Taihang Mountain in Hebei Province to take refuge, if you don't die, see you in the future. Thinking of his true purpose, Gao Si coldly gave the order to attack.

The heavy rain concealed the traces of the march, and Chen Ling deliberately set up the enemy, so he was not intercepted along the way.

The big military rank marched quickly, and did not hear the order, but heard the sonorous sound of the armor, and arrived at the Yu culture and the camp, which happened to be three watches.

With a shout, drums and horns sounded in unison, the four thousand remnants of the army slammed into the camp of the Xiaoguo army.

"Don't ask the rest, only punish Yuwen!" Gao Si held a sword in both hands, killed anyone he met, and was ambushed in front of everyone.

Chang He also followed with a sword and a banner, firmly protecting his flanks.

Yang Jishan and Yang Minxing were also red-eyed, and each brought his men and horses to kill, shouting: "Yuwen old thief, take your life!" ”

Wang Boren even took off his upper body armor, fought shirtless, and rushed forward bravely with a knife!

"Kill-kill-kill!" The remnants of the Chu army all took one as ten, and exerted the combat effectiveness of the twelveth layer.

The rain covers the tracks, and the thunder helps the army!

Yu Wenhua was awakened by the sound of shouting and killing, and hurriedly got up from between the two beauties, and summoned his relatives to inquire about his soberness. Other major generals

More than a dozen, either fell into the arms of the beauty, or drunk under the wine altar, and only the low-level generals were left to fight separately.

"It's a child of the Gao family, how could he kill here?" Yu culture and anger.

"Brother, evacuate first and try to reorganize the army!" Yu Wenshi spoke at this time, and he first realized that Chen Ling had a problem.

While changing into armor, he said hatefully: "Chen Ling, I will destroy you all over the world in the future." ”

"Let's go!" Yu Wenhua picked up the waist knife and fled for his life with his brothers and a group of cronies who had gathered in a hurry.

In front of the mansion, Yuwen Seventeen reluctantly gathered a team of 500 guards, led the war horses, and said, "General, please get on the horse!" ”

Yu Wenhua and others were unprepared, facing a surprise attack, and they couldn't play three percent of the cost, so they had to flee for their lives.

At this time, how many people dare to fight hard? is a person like Yuwen Valve, who has the blood of the Hu people, and after three generations of bravery, he has also become desperate.

People are divided into three, six, nine, and so on, and so on, when in times of crisis, some dare to fight for their lives, and some can only run away, and are criticized by others.

The three thousand Xiaoguo Forbidden Army Cavalry Guards are the descendants of the Marshal Yuwenshu, although they are classified as Yu Culture and Commander, but they still think of the old master, and when the chaos arises, they spontaneously go to the rear or dozens or hundreds of Yuwenshu to rescue.

Gao Si swung his sword, killing all the way, while yelling:

"Hurry-hurry-hurry, hurry up, kill the old thief Yuwen for me!"

"Yang Jishan, Yang Minxing, have you forgotten the hatred of the Yang family?"

The army drove the defeated soldiers and dispersed the rear camp of the Xiaoguo army, forming an inverted bead curtain.

"Don't be alarmed!" Yu Wenshu rushed out from Wu Zhenxian's gentle township, and shouted: "The remnants of the Yang family are just dying and struggling, blocking this formation, the thief will definitely be defeated." ”

Hearing this, the hundreds of soldiers gathered around him calmed down a little and formed a defensive formation to resist.

Soon, Gao Si was the first to kill and asked: "Son-in-law of Yangmen, Gao Chongde is also here, where is Yuwenshu?" Behind him, more than a thousand troops also rushed to kill.

Yuwen Shu came out of the battle and nodded: "The old man is here, the kid has the courage to let the horse come!" ”

"Kill!" Rushing over with men and horses without hesitation, Gao Si knew that time was pressing, and he must not give the other party a chance to breathe, otherwise after the Sui army regrouped, it would be himself who would be defeated.

Puff, puff, heads, swords, guns, shields, and halberds, one side is desperately sticking to it, and the other side is bravely breaking through.

"The officers and soldiers have been defeated, Yu Wenhua and have fled, kill!"

"Yu Wenhua has fled, and the official army has been defeated!" Suddenly, the sound of shouting and killing came from all sides, and Wang Boren's voice spread all over the battlefield.

In fact, the two sides are still in a stalemate, if Yu Wenhua shows up to refute the rumors and boost morale, then the victory or defeat is still in two words.

It's a pity that this guy is ambitious and talented, and he escaped early. After only a while, everyone in the Gao Si Department fought bravely, and the morale of the 30,000 Xiaoguo troops completely collapsed, and they scattered and fled for their lives.

Yuwen Shu is old in the army, how can he not know that his own son is a big deal? looked at the son-in-law Yang Su chose before he died, and finally found out that he was inferior to the other party.

The veteran inevitably died in battle, he stepped forward to stop the resistance of his subordinates, and sighed and said: "Yang Su, I can't imagine that you will still press me when you die, Yuwen can't tell you much!" Young man, I have one thing, please allow me. ”

"Old general, please speak." Gao Si faced an old man who was going to die, but reserved a trace of dignity for him.

"Please spare my subordinates!" Yuwen finished speaking, drew his sword and killed himself.

"General!" Who would have expected that in the midst of the sorrow, these last guards killed themselves one after another and followed Yuwenshu.
