Chapter 188 [Survival at the Bottom of the Cliff]
When it was about 80 steps or so, it was replaced by the Ming army archery team shooting, and the Ming army arrows used in close combat had great penetration (whoosh, whoosh, whoosh) like fast arrows like flying eagles pierced through the Shun soldiers wearing armor.
Some of the Shun soldiers still had more than a dozen arrows on their bodies and fell to the ground, and some of the brave heavy armored soldiers of the Shun army rushed to the front of the battle and engaged the Xining Weiming army and Tusi soldiers.
These rogues either died under the swords of the Ming and Turkish alliances, or they were pierced through their armor by spears! The soldiers of the Shun army could only rely on their shields and their own courage and enthusiasm to barely take out the few Ming troops who did not want to die.
In the fierce battle, in the face of the Ming army's crazy death, the motivation to slash and kill the enemy made the Dashun army more and more afraid of fighting! Dashun Ganzhou Zuowei Qianhu took the lead and shouted: "Brothers of the Ming Army! Listen to me, don't be the enemy of Dashun anymore! Now it is the world of Dashun, Emperor Yingshun does not levy grain or pay taxes, the people are happy, and the courtiers are rich. Inspired by this slogan, some Ming soldiers were actually tempted!
Ming Dasi Ma Wanhu, who was watching from a distance, was sitting on a chair, let him drink tea and watch, and praised "Kang Fangyu: Okay, good, what you want is for you to die and break the net!" When the time comes, the official will also explain to King Gushi Khan. ”
Who would have thought that the Ming army in the distance gradually stopped fighting, and the situation was beyond the expectations of Ming Dasi Ma Wanhu, which was something he never expected!
Surprised, he hurriedly got up and said, "Kang Fangyu: Go and see what's going on with the Xining Weiming Army and the Shun Army?" ”
The Xining Wei Ming army in front of this side began to move, and everyone was ready to lay down their arms to respond to the Shun army to capture the Ming general, and the situation was precarious for the Ming Xining Wei Zhenfu and the Ming Xining Wei General Banner!
Seeing this scene, Ming Ningwei Zhenfu was not afraid of danger, he waved his hand and motioned to the Dongli Tusi soldiers and Xining Tusi soldiers, and took the opportunity to counterattack the Liukou army and kill the Liukou soldiers by surprise.
This sudden charge directly killed the horses of the left guard Qianhu of Dashun Ganzhou, and the Tusi soldiers brandished their spears and stabbed down the horses of the Liukou general, causing him to fall to the ground.
Then the Tusi soldiers continued to raise their spears to assassinate him, and the quick-eyed Liukou general quickly rolled a few times, but he was still stabbed in the chest by the Xining Tusi soldiers, and the rest of the Tusi soldiers rushed up, inserted in him and was instantly stabbed into a hornet's nest.
After the death of the Liukou general, the soldiers of the Shun army around him began to retreat in panic, and in this way, Liukou's first plan to destroy the remnants of the Ming army of Xiningwei was frustrated.
Looking at the rogue army that fled after hearing the wind, the Ming Dasi Ma Wanhu in the rear was overjoyed and said, "Kang Fangyu: Attack!" ”
The horn (woo, woo, woo~) next to the garrison of Wanhu Mansion in this batch of places sounded, and the sound spread in all directions covering the front of the Xining Weiming Army and the two Tusi soldiers.
The general banner of Ming Xinningwei, who was at a loss, was shocked: "Dad, is it a reply that Ma Wanhu is going to send troops to take the opportunity to sneak attack us?" ”
However, Ming Ningwei Zhenfu, who did not dare to make a conclusion, had to firmly believe that the Xining Wei Ming army and the Tusi soldiers could withstand the attack of the Wanhu Mansion army, and even if they couldn't, they would be burned.
But this is not the case, this Wanhu Mansion soldiers and horses did not attack the Xining Weiming army and the Tusi soldiers, but interspersed them and went straight to the fleeing Liukou army, and the barbaric and fierce Wanhu soldiers rode their war horses one by one when they took out their bows and arrows on their backs and shot at the Liukou when they were within a distance of 300 paces.
When he was a hundred paces closer, he raised his spear and glanced at the rogue at a general glance, and quickly threw it over to assassinate them, and the curved spear flew over like a spike to pierce through the fleeing rogue soldiers.
When it came to the close combat, the soldiers of Wanhu Mansion rode forward and pulled out the Zhangba snake spear inserted in the Liukou soldiers, replaced it with a scimitar and began to fight in close combat, which caused heavy losses to the Liukou army, plus the Xining Weiming army and Tusi soldiers in the rear team also pounced on it, and the three armies jointly wiped out the Dashun army of 5,000 people, and killed all of them cleanly.
Only one soldier of the Shun army, who was seriously wounded in the hand, rode a fast horse and rushed back in the direction of Xiningwei, the capital of Shaanxi.
The war horses carried the rogue soldiers all the way to the outside of the Xining Acropolis, and the soldiers defending the city saw that there was a situation and hurriedly ran out to open the city gate to check, and when they found that it was a casualty soldier, they immediately brought it into the guard command post and handed it over to the Dashun Xining Guards who were guarding here: Xin Enzhong, after hearing that the soldiers came to report, the Dashun Xining Guards panicked!
According to the clothing and waist cards of the casualties, it can be determined that it is the Shun army that was sent out to attack the remnants of the Weiming Army in Xining! It seems that the left guard of Dashun Ganzhou has been killed.
So the general soldier of the Dashun Xining Wei asked the soldiers to ride fast horses to inform the governor of the Dashun Hou Army and send a large army to destroy the Ming army again.
On the other side, on the cliff wall of the Yanzhou Mansion of the Shandong Cheng Xuan Political Division, the fog gradually dispersed, and there were many precious medicinal materials growing around the cliff, which also attracted the patronage of rats and birds.
It can be seen faintly on the cliffs; Poisonous snakes such as cobras, five-step snakes, and silver krait snakes climb on the branches of trees jutting out of the cliff face, as if guarding these precious medicinal herbs and waiting for the arrival of their prey.
There are still many dense plants growing under the Baizhang Abyss, and one of the small Huangshan pine branches hangs two people?
One was dressed in blue cloth armor, the other was a man in black Confucian robes, both with their heads bowed, and their clothes were hooked behind them by branches.
At this time, the man slowly opened his eyes and looked around, he found that he was actually hanging on a tree branch, and when he looked down to see that there was still a deep distance under his feet, and there was more smoke, he couldn't see what was underneath.
He turned his head to look nearby and shouted, "Your Highness the county lord, the county...!" ”
Before the words fell, he found the county lord of Ming Tai'an who was also hanging next to him: Zhu Youlan, Wu Junzhen, who was relieved, was very happy to see that His Royal Highness the county lord was still there, and hurriedly shouted, "His Royal Highness the county lord, wake up, wake up!" ”
As he was shouting, he suddenly saw a five-step snake crawling on the branch pole, sticking out its tongue and moving towards the branch behind Zhu Youlan.
The nervous Wu Junzhen hurriedly stretched out his hands and feet to pull Zhu Youlan, but it was difficult for him to break free from the collar of the cloth armor, and he couldn't use his strength in mid-air to pull His Royal Highness the county lord next to him.
But he didn't give up and looked carefully left and right, turned his head and looked behind him as best he could, and found a fork of a relatively large and strong trunk behind his waist.
Wu Junzhen did not hesitate, he used all his strength to raise his foot to kick the tree trunk, once unsuccessful, the second time again, after three attempts in a row, he finally broke the collar of the cloth armor, broke off the two rivets, and successfully jumped to Zhu Youlan's side and hugged her.
Because Wu Junzhen suddenly jumped over, the branches couldn't bear the weight of the two people, so that the two fell again!
In the face of this fall, looking at His Royal Highness the county lord he was holding, Wu Junzhen seemed to feel that this was destined by God a long time ago, so that they could die together, from the acquaintance to the present, Wu Junzhen also has some feelings for her, so even if he dies, he has no regrets!
It's just that he didn't fulfill his wish to save the Ming Empire, which made him very unwilling.
……
Soon the two of them both fell to the bottom of the cliff, and fell into a turquoise river with a thud, and under the water, Wu Junzhen quickly reacted, he knew that he was not dead! It's just that his head was stunned by the descending shockwave, and after calming down, he quickly slid his body, swam down to pick up Zhu Youlan, and swam towards the shore.
When he rushed out of the water, Wu Junzhen tried his best to let Zhu Youlan's head float out of the water to breathe, and he hugged his waist and slid his arm to swim towards the shore.
Fortunately, he had practiced in the barracks, and his physical fitness was very good in all aspects, and his strength was relatively large in the army, so it was basically not a big problem to paddle with Zhu Youlan, but the gliding speed was a little slow and difficult!
After a cup of tea, Wu Junzhen finally swam to the shore, he put Zhu Youlan on the stone and lay down, and he shouted, "His Royal Highness the county lord, His Royal Highness the county lord, wake up?" ”
While pushing and shouting, he reached out and tried his nose to confirm that she was still alive, but he was unconscious because he drank too much water, and after about a few shouts, Wu Junzhen realized that in fact, His Royal Highness the county lord in front of him was also a woman with a closed moon shy flower appearance and a beautiful figure, and Wu Junzhen couldn't help but feel a little moved by her, because he had never been in such close contact with a woman.
What's more, this time he reached out and touched the tip of Zhu Youlan's nose, which made his heart beat faster and had an indescribable feeling, which seemed to be different from the feeling of holding Yao Qiuyue on the boat before, and he tried to control his emotions, and suddenly thought that a heavy blow to his abdomen could force the water out.
But it doesn't seem to be polite to touch the body of His Royal Highness the county lord directly! With this in mind, he decided to go to the woods behind him and find a wooden plank and gently tap his abdomen to make it spit out water and .......
In this way, Zhu Youlan woke up after spitting water three times, she coughed and asked, "What is this place?" How did we end up here? ”
Seeing that His Royal Highness the county lord was awake, Wu Junzhen hurriedly explained, "We fell down from the cliff and arrived here, this should be near the official road of Renchengwei, right?" I don't know, I'll have to ask the villagers. ”
Next, Wu Junzhen helped Zhu Youlan and walked towards the woods, because the sky was gradually darkening! Moreover, they were hungry for two days without eating, and Zhu Youlan was a little injured in the shoulder when she fell, so when she got up to leave, she shouted, "Ah! It hurts, it hurts in the back and back! ”
Since she was wearing a black Confucian dress, she couldn't see the wound much when she got wet, and Wu Junzhen didn't want to go far, after all, her physical strength was almost used up when she was paddling just now! The top priority was to replenish his strength, so he helped Zhu Youlan to sit under the root of a big tree.
Then he went to find some dry firewood and came back, thinking of using the fire on his body to light the fire, but it was already so wet that he could not light it at all, so he had to beat the fire with a stone, but he still could not get the slightest flame!
In desperation, Wu Junzhen came out and rubbed the stone with a saber to see if he could get a flame, and after some testing, he barely got a little flame, and it was this faint flame that could make dead leaves and dry wood burn.
After the fire was lit, Wu Junzhen immediately took off his Yongzi helmet, erected it with a branch, and said before getting up, "Your Royal Highness the county lord, you wait here for a while, I'll go find something to eat nearby." ”
