Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Remnants of a Hundred Battles

Yang Miaozhen buried her face deep in her right palm, and only supported Dou Bo with her left hand. Although she comforted the boy, judging from the wound, his life was irretrievable. The wounds were no longer bleeding, proving that all the blood in his body had been drained.

Li Quan stuck the gun into the ground with some scorn and looked at Yang Miaozhen with sympathetic eyes. Since he met Yang Miaozhen, this young man has been following Yang Miaozhen to protect her most vulnerable back on the battlefield, so Li Quanneng can understand Yang Miaozhen's grief.

"Dou Bo!"

The body in his hand was completely stiff, and it quickly became cold, Yang Miaozhen shouted, staring at his bloodless face, and suddenly realized that there was still a trace of childishness on his face. If it weren't for this childishness, he would be a little similar to the Meng Xisheng he met in the Great Song Dynasty.

The two are similar in age, but their faces are also round, the difference is that Meng Xisheng has a strong bookish atmosphere, while Dou Bo has a reckless atmosphere. But when Dou Bo died, the reckless aura on his face disappeared, replaced by a trace of childishness that people of this age carry.

Yang Miaozhen bit her hand and blocked back the cry.

The surrounding rebel soldiers were also silent, although they were victorious, but in addition to the golden soldiers, there were also their brothers and uncles who lay on the ground.

Li Quan was a little irritable, this kind of depression did not seem like he had just won a battle. He sighed and comforted: "Fourth lady, the matter has come to an ......"

Before he finished his words, he suddenly heard the sound of golden drums, and the golden soldiers who had been scattered and fled rolled back again, shouting and roaring one by one, without the slightest hint of talent. Li Quan's heart moved, and he suddenly realized his mistake, this battle was a trap at all.

"Four ladies, get on the horse, you've got it!"

He shouted, pulled out his iron spear, and stared at the golden soldier who had rolled back upside down. Behind these scattered Jin soldiers, the elite men and horses of the brigade were approaching, and Li Quan recognized their banner, which was embroidered with the word "Zhang", proving that these people were Zhang Hui's subordinates.

The original strikers were only sent to lure the rebels out of the mountains as a bait, and the main force followed behind the bait. Li Quanyi instantly understood Zhang Hui's strategy, and was extremely annoyed in his heart, the other party came prepared, and today must be a bitter battle.

At this time, Yang Miaozhen was really uncertain, and was stroking the corpse and crying bitterly!

Li Quan's own subordinates naturally listened to him, but Yang Miaozhen's subordinates were not something he could command, so he raised his gun and shouted: "Fourth lady, the matter is urgent, if you want to avenge him, don't cry at this time!" ”

These words woke up Yang Miaozhen, she wiped her tears, put down Dou Bo, and turned over on the horse. Li Quanxin was slightly calm, and when he looked at Jin Jun again, he was less than three hundred steps away from them.

Unlike the forwards who were used as bait, this golden army brigade was not only well-armoured, but also had crossbowmen. And now that the host and guest have been transposed, it is the rebel army that has raided the Jin army, but now it is the Jin army that has raided the rebel army, and the morale of both sides has taken a sharp turn. Li Quan looked at Yang Miaozhen, and saw that her expression was cold, and although there were still tears on her face, she was no longer as weak as Fang Cai, so he praised it and said: "If you can afford to put it down, the fourth lady is worthy of being a woman." ”

Yang Miaozhen ignored his praise, his eyes wandered, and he asked in a low voice: "Jin Bing is strong, what should I do?" ”

"Do you see the banner of the Jin Army?" Li Quan had already prepared, and pointed his gun at the middle of the Jin army: "That is the enemy general Zhang Hui, as long as you kill him, the Jin army will collapse, and our army will turn the corner!" ”

Yang Miaozhen gritted his silver teeth lightly, raised the bright silver spear in his hand upward, and then pointed at the enemy's central army. Li Quan didn't wait for her to give an order, he rushed out again, and shouted: "Zhang Hui, take your life!" ”

He rushed out first, and immediately became the target of the enemy's crossbowmen, but he was highly skilled in martial arts, and he was able to shoot more than ten arrows in a row, which either missed or was blocked by him. The iron gun in his hand weighed more than 30 catties, which was originally picked up when he was playing by the river when he was a child.

Yang Miaozhen knew that at this time, as he said, the only chance to win was to be able to kill the enemy general Zhang Hui, so he rushed over after Li Quan. The two of them were about thirty steps behind, and more than thirty steps behind Yang Miaozhen were the soldiers of the righteous army who followed.

"Straight thief, this gang of anti-thieves is bold!" Zhang Hui sneered and pursed his lips, he used a mace, which was originally the most commonly used weapon of the Jurchens. The subordinates around him laughed when they heard him laugh, and they laughed too, though none of them knew what was funny.

"Shoot me in a crowded place, and kill endless thieves!" Zhang Hui ordered.

The arrows that had been sparse suddenly became dense, and all the crossbowmen in the Jin army began to fire, and the terrible humming sound of the bowstring seemed to have become the soul detention order of the king of Yama, reaping the lives of the rebel soldiers one by one. Yang Miaozhen could hear the screams coming from behind him, and knew that this was not the time to look back, the rebels had few horses, and if they couldn't quickly break into the enemy formation, these archers would inflict greater damage on the rebels.

At the same time as the third round of arrows of the Jin army was issued, Li Quan broke into the enemy formation, and in the neighing of the war horse, the two Jin soldiers who stopped him were knocked away, and the iron spear in his hand stabbed an archer who was about to retreat like a dragon going out to sea.

"Kill!" He roared and swung his great iron spear, cutting a line of flesh and blood around him, and all the golden soldiers who entered this line were either stabbed in the vital part or smashed to the bone. In just a moment, at least ten or more golden soldiers were injured by him, and everywhere he went, the bravest golden soldiers also fled one after another.

"Zhang Hui, take your life!"

Finally killed the bloody road, Li Quan saw the enemy general under the banner, his heart was slightly happy, urged the war horse to accelerate again, and stabbed the opponent's throat with a swing of the gun.

Zhang Hui roared disdainfully, the mace was erected upward, and as soon as Li Quan's big iron spear exchanged with his mace, he felt a strange force coming, making his whole body shake, and he was almost thrown off the horse.

"What a force!" Li Quan was shocked, the two horses staggered, he withdrew his gun from his elbow, and the tail of the gun rushed towards Zhang Huihou's heart, but it was a "bell", Zhang Hui's movements were not slow, and his iron spear collapsed again.

"But that's it!" Zhang Hui screamed and turned the horse's head, but saw that Li Quan used the power of his mace to stab a golden soldier to death with one shot, Zhang Hui was so angry that he shouted: "Anti-thief, leave!" ”

Li Quan didn't plan to stop there, the Jin army was numerous, if he couldn't kill Zhang Hui, the righteous army would only be defeated today. He turned half a circle, faced Zhang Hui again, held the iron gun tightly in his hand, and pursed his lips vigorously.

In the chaotic battle, the chances of the two generals meeting are not great, and this may be his last chance to kill Zhang Hui.

The big iron gun was held tightly by him, the tip of the gun was as calm as well water, his marksmanship and Yang Miaozhen went out of the same door, all of them were called "Liuhe guns" by later generations, pay attention to the mind, calm, courageous, the more critical the moment, the more calm. The two horses approached again, but it was only a moment of effort, Li Quan twisted the gun, and the gun was fully unfolded in the air, like a strange flower.

This is the "piercing" word trick in the three words of Liuhe spear attack, and the target of this stabbing method is the enemy's vital point, and it is required to hit with one blow. Li Quan was extremely confident in his gun, and with this lightning and flint attack, he killed countless soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, including many so-called brave generals.

However, Zhang Hui sneered, slammed the mace with his feet, and the guns and sticks touched again, Li Quan didn't expect this seemingly bulky weapon to be so flexible in Zhang Hui's hands, "Ah", he tried his best not to let the iron gun go, but the force of the shock also made him completely lose his balance, and he was about to be planted from the horse.

Zhang Hui didn't let go of this great opportunity, it was another stick, Li Quan lay on his back on the horse, and saw the stick smashing towards him, so he could only throw the stirrup and roll over from the horse. The mace struck him in the saddle, and the healthy horse could not bear it, and fell to the ground with a terrible neigh.

"Catch this kid, I want to ......" Zhang Hui pointed to Li Quan on the ground, and before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a thunderclap, and the surrounding Jin soldiers shouted to separate from each other, and then Yang Miaozhen appeared in his sight.

"Zhang Hui!" Yang Miaozhen shouted, and when she saw Li Quan getting up from the ground, she immediately understood that this Zhang Hui was extremely powerful, and even Li Quan was not an opponent! But not only was she not afraid, but she was even more excited, she took a breath, and the bright silver spear stabbed Zhang Hui in the face.

Zhang Hui recognized this woman as the leader of the Red Jacket Army, with a cruel smile on his face, and sealed it with a mace. Then, Yang Miaozhen's shot was a false move, her bright silver spear stuck in a mace, turned a thorn into a split, and broke the neck bone of a golden soldier who rushed to hug Li Quan.

After Li Quan broke free from the golden soldiers, he put his gun at his waist and turned around twice with all his might, forcing all the golden soldiers who were pressing up to retreat. Because of Yang Miaozhen, Zhang Hui temporarily let him go, but urged the horse to chase Yang Miaozhen. Li Quan got this opportunity, stabbed a golden general with a spear, seized his war horse, and saw the opportunity to go up again.

He had already lost his courage at this time, and he had just landed and was besieged, and he also had several scars on his body, so he didn't dare to fight Zhang Hui again, but saw the opportunity to rush to Zhang Hui's handsome banner. The flag guard was far from his opponent, and the cavalry around him who protected Shuai Qi was killed by him and fled one after another, and when he captured Zhang Hui Shuai Qi, he immediately put him down.

As soon as Zhang Hui's handsome banner fell, the rebels who were originally inferior immediately shouted: "Zhang Hui is dead, Zhang Hui is killed!" ”

The Jin soldiers in the distance couldn't see it really, and when they saw their handsome flag falling, they didn't put it up again for a while, only saying that Zhang Hui was really killed, and their morale couldn't help but be depressed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the rebels attacked in a big way, and the tide of battle between the two sides reversed again.

Back in his own military formation, Li Quancai remembered that Yang Miaozhen was still fighting hard with Zhang Hui to save himself, he led his own soldiers to break into the Jin army again, both sides fought hard for a long time, both were exhausted, the Jin soldiers retreated slightly, Li Quancai saw Yang Miaozhen from the enemy formation and killed again.

Both sides were already exhausted, the Jin army had to retreat and regroup because of the loss of the handsome flag, and the rebel army was unable to pursue, so it could only retreat slowly.

Back to the camp on the mountain, Yang Miaozhen looked a little in a trance, and after a while, the general Zheng Deyan came to report that there were more than 500 dead and wounded on this day, including Dou Bo.

"I got it......"

Yang Miaozhen's reaction surprised Zheng Deyan, her expression was blank, and tears kept pouring out, completely lacking the pride of the past. In the past, when the news of her brother Yang An'er's death came, she had never been so sad.

"Auntie......" Zheng Deyan was about to be persuaded, but Li Quan came in with a sad face, and said to Yang Miaozhen: "Fourth lady, the situation is not good now, Zhang Hui has set up a camp at the foot of the mountain, and he will not leave if the situation is not destroyed." ”

Yang Miaozhen glanced at him and sighed: "Brother Li Quan, Dou Bo is dead!" ”

Li Quan also showed a smile on his face and comforted: "Fourth lady, I know that with such a serious injury, even Hua Tuo will not be able to return to heaven in his second life. Now the most important thing is how to get rid of this Zhang Hui, this person is both wise and brave, and he is invincible! ”

"Brother Li Quan, Dou Bo is only seventeen years old...... In our army, how many brothers and sisters are not yet seventeen or eighteen years old, and there are old and weak women and children......" Yang Miaozhen said to herself: "Big brother, let them die like this, I ...... I feel panicked! ”

"If they don't follow us, they won't have a way out." Li Quan was stunned at first, and then secretly annoyed, a manly man, since he did this trick of licking blood with a knife, he didn't need his mother-in-law. Then he was shocked to realize that although Yang Miaozhen has always been straightforward, he is not a manly husband, but his family has always regarded him as a man, so he will have this illusion.

"The fourth lady is still a woman after all, and these brothers have to be taken by a man." He thought so in his heart, and then he moved, he was not married, Miao Zhen was not married, and both of them were heroes, wouldn't they be a pair made in heaven?

If she can marry Yang Miaozhen, then the trilogy left by her brother will naturally become a dowry, with such strength, the world can go, and I am afraid that there will be no wealth?

"Four ladies!" The more he thought about it, the more beautiful his heart became, and after signaling Zheng Deyan to leave, he dragged a stool and sat in front of Yang Miaozhen: "Now is not the time to cry, the dead have passed away, we have to plan for the living!" ”

"That's right!" Yang Miaozhen nodded: "I don't cry...... I don't cry! ”

"Zhang Huijun, although he retreated from setbacks today, he will definitely come again in the future, we must plan early, this Moqi Mountain, I'm afraid I can't stay." Li Quan said again.

"Moqi Mountain is unbearable, if it continues to be consumed like this, no matter how many people and horses it is, it will not be enough to fill it." Regarding Li Quan's words, Yang Miaozhen agreed in her heart.

"Now we are weak when we divide and we are strong, and we are really united to get through the difficulties together." Li Quan was overjoyed to hear it and said again.

"Brother Li Quan is right!" Yang Miaozhen nodded again.

"I have a strategy, we retreat to the East China Sea (Note 1), the Great Song Dynasty in the south, and the sea in the east, so that we can attack and retreat." Li Quan said again: "From now on, along the way, there are brothers who have been scattered by our Red Jacket Army, and we don't have to worry about not responding!" ”

Hearing the word Donghai, Yang Miaozhen's eyes lit up, and she nodded harder.

"Wonderful girl." Li Quan was very happy in his heart, and decided to take the hot iron, so he first changed his name: "I fell in love with you at first sight, and it is the friendship between the two armies with the same hatred and hatred, how I am a person, you know, if you think I still like it, I will ask someone to find your uncle Uncle Liu to say matchmaking, what do you think?" ”

"Huh?" Yang Miaozhen never thought that he had been around for a while, but it was this intention, and he exclaimed, and his face turned red.

It was as if there was a fire burning.
