The fourteenth year of Liyang

After the burning of Nancang was completed, Chang Bang led the remaining Jin cavalry to kill Ping'an Town before the Zhou army encircled and suppressed it in the city.

At this time, after several fierce battles, only more than half of the 10,000 raiding cavalry remained, among which there were many light and serious wounded, and the remaining uninjured Jin cavalry was also exhausted and exhausted.

However, although the whole army was exhausted, he was worried about the Chang Storm that Luo County came to support the pursuit of the Zhou army, so he still ordered the whole army to quickly withdraw and return to Yanlin along the same road.

Until the evening, the Jin army barely rushed to the border of Luo County, and the soldiers of the Jin army, who were sleepy and tired, finally couldn't help but be tired and begged to stop and rest.

Chang Tyranny's was reluctant to agree, but looking at everyone who was having difficulty breathing, he knew that if he continued to consume like this, once he really ran into the Zhou army that was pursuing or intercepting, then the whole army would be in danger.

In desperation, Chang Storm led the Jin army to a valley to rest, and after the soldiers rested here, Chang Storm asked people to find Yan Kui.

…………

After so many tosses, not only was the Jin army tired, but even Yan Kui, who had several times the physical strength of ordinary people, was a little unable to hold on, and the weapon in his hand was silently replaced from an eighty-eight pound Shattered Star mace to a long knife that was only thirty pounds.

But even so, Yan Kui is one of the few people in the Jin army who still has the strength to fight a battle, so he has been responsible for opening the way forward.

Yan Kui heard that Chang Storm was calling, so he turned his horse and turned around to the Chinese army, but when he saw Chang Storm's appearance, he was immediately startled.

"General...... You...... This..."

Yan Kui looked at Chang Tyrant, who was supported by the guards and sat on the rock, and stammered speechless.

In fact, it's no wonder that Yan Kui is so surprised, it's really too scary, his face is as pale as paper, his breath is meager , his cheeks are like rain, and his lips are chapped, as if he is about to die, which is terrifying.

"Shhhh......h Don't make a statement. ”

Chang Storm, who had been closing his eyes, heard Yan Kui's voice, barely opened his eyes, and forced his mouth to stop it.

Yan Kui found out that Chang Storm was surrounded by a group of guards, and it seemed that he intended to let Chang Storm not see him outside, and he immediately knew in his heart that Chang Storm was hiding his own situation to prevent the army from panicking.

……………

With a flurry in his throat, Yan Kui looked at the already precarious Chang Storm, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and looked at the commander of the Chang Storm Guards next to him.

"How is the general's injuries?"

"It's bad."

Chang Bang's personal guard commander is called Chang Yuan, and he is Chang Bang's cousin, he heard Yan Kui's question, shook his head with an ugly face, and then explained.

At that time, the general's arm was broken, and he simply bandaged it with the medicine cloth he carried, barely stopping the bleeding, and then because he was in a hurry to retreat, the general's injuries were not further treated, and he hurriedly marched.

Now because of the hurry, the general's right arm injury has worsened, just now when I asked my guards who know medical skills to change the general's dressing cloth, I found that the general's wound was bleeding, and we wasted a lot of effort to stop the bleeding.

But...... Because there are no medicinal herbs to heal, the general's injuries are uncontrollable, and it is likely that... It is likely that it will not survive back to Yanlin. ”

The more he said that the prancing horse was uncomfortable, in the end, Changyuan's voice had become a little choked, although he was Chang Tyrant's nephew, but he grew up with Chang Tyrant since he was a child, the two were like father and son, and his father's life was in danger, how could Changwon be indifferent.

Not only Changwon, but Yan Kui, who listened to what he said, was also fluctuating when he heard the words, with mixed feelings, and he had not spoken for a long time.

Frankly speaking, Yan Kui and Chang Storm have not known each other for a long time, and it will only be about ten days after a full fight, but the feeling cannot be measured by the length of time.

Now seeing that the boss and comrade-in-arms who had just fought together bloody battles were now in the balance, Yan Kui felt how comfortable he felt.

…………

"Ahem......"

Probably sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Chang Storm, whose brain had become slightly muddy, suddenly came to his senses, and asked the guards to help him up, he stretched out his hand to let Yan Kui come closer, his dry lips grinned slightly, and he panted.

"Yuan Han, don't ...... Don't listen to that kid in Changwon's nonsense, Lao Tzu......... The son's life is hard, the nine-door admiral Ge Thunder is ...... That old bastard is dying, Peng Shuai promised me to succeed in the grain attack, and he ...... He elected me to be the Admiral of the Nine Gates.

Damn, this ......... This is from the second-grade official position, Lao Tzu has been in the third-grade for so many years, and he has to be promoted to the second grade if he says anything, and I am Changbenchao dead...... Death has to die on the second grade. ”

Seeing Chang Tyranny's strong desire to survive, Yan Kui was overjoyed, and continued with his words: "What the general said is that you still want to be promoted to the second grade, and our brothers are all pointing to you, the future Admiral of the Nine Gates, to cover us." ”

"Haha...... Ahem......"

Chang Bang wanted to laugh, but half of it was blocked by coughing, Yan Kui wanted to help pat his back and get angry, but Chang Bang grabbed his arm, stared at him tightly, and said in a deep voice.

"Yuan Han, I estimate that the Zhou army will soon counterattack, and then there will be a series of fierce battles, and I am currently ......... I'm afraid I'm ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to continue commanding.

So, now I'm ...... I'll give you the talisman, and you have to ......... anyway Try to bring back all the brothers, for they are all heroes of the raid and cannot all die...... Die here. ”

After hearing this, Yan Kui nodded vigorously, his face showing firmness: "General rest assured, Yan Kui will definitely lead his brothers to escort you back to the camp in triumph." ”

Chang Bang, who had no blood on his face, smiled with relief, and looked at Changyuan next to him, Changyuan immediately took out a palm-sized box from his arms, opened the lid, and inside was a black tiger-shaped talisman.

Chang Bang kept watching Yan Kui take the talisman, and then said: "With this talisman in hand, the whole army will obey your order, such as ...... If there is any non-compliance, it will be forgiven. ”

Yan Kui made a military salute to Chang and put away the talisman, Chang Storm saw this, he could no longer hold the breath in his chest, and tilted his head and fainted.

……………

Chang Storm's faintness didn't matter, he almost scared everyone to death, until the guard who knew how to medicine rushed over to check and checked his pulse, and then checked his pulse, that he knew that Chang Storm was a coma caused by weakness and serious injuries.

Only then did everyone put their hearts down, but they soon raised their hearts because of the last sentence that knew how to treat and guard.

"The general is seriously injured, and if he is not effectively treated, he can last two to three days at most."

Two to three days!

If there was no obstruction by the Zhou army, the Jin army would almost be able to return to Yanlin, but for such a big thing as the burning of the granary in Ping'an Town, could the Zhou army turn a deaf ear?

I don't know if the pursuers of the Zhou army are on the way now.

Frowning, Yan Kui didn't say anything, explained that Changyuan would protect the unconscious Chang Storm, turned around and left, and then took the talisman to find the generals of the various departments and took over the command of the team.

Because of Yan Kui's outstanding performance in the previous battles, coupled with the fact that he had been promoted to deputy general by Changbang earlier, all the generals recognized his takeover of military power, at least on the surface, no one objected.

Everyone is not stupid, now the main general Chang is seriously injured and unconscious, and the chasing soldiers of the Zhou army will catch up at any time to encircle and intercept, and the future of the raid cavalry back to the division is slim, in this situation, they will engage in internal disputes and internal strife, and it is really not far from waiting for death.

Moreover, the most important thing is that now Chang is in a coma, except for Yan Kui, a fierce man who can suppress these arrogant generals in the raiding cavalry, the rest of the generals can't control the situation.

In public and private, in sentiment and reason, Yan Kui's current position in charge of the army is the trend of the times and imperative.

…………

After successfully taking over the military power, the night was already deep, and Yan Kui wanted the soldiers to continue to rest for a while, recuperate their spirits, and wait until the early hours of the morning before hurrying.

But I didn't want to scout to report, fifteen miles behind the Jin army found traces of the Zhou army, the number was not less than 5,000, and the banner should be Zhang Yehong, the guard general of Luo County.

"It's coming pretty fast."

Yan Kui raised his eyebrows and muttered, but he didn't dare to slack off in his heart, and hurriedly beckoned all the soldiers to gather and prepare to retreat.

If before, in the field, with the elite combat power of the surprise cavalry, Yan Kui didn't take the five thousand Zhou army in his eyes at all, and it would be half an hour to the left, and he would be able to defeat it.

But at present, a group of tired cavalry divisions of the Jin army are really not suitable to entangle with the other party, and the casualties caused by the delay are small, once they are dragged by the other party, causing the rest of the pursuers to rush to the encirclement and suppression, that is the most deadly.

So, Yan Kui asked two Jin generals with high military strength to lead the front army to open the way, and ordered Changyuan to protect Chang Storm to follow him and take the first step, and he himself led the two thousand cavalry who had recovered some of their combat strength to press the rear of the palace.
