Chapter 003: Break out of the encirclement
After hearing this, a general next to the princess of Yan Kingdom hurriedly knelt down and said: "The princess can't, at present, I don't know whether Zhao Jun is an enemy or a friend, the princess must not be in danger, and it is the best policy to ask the princess to return to Yan Kingdom with me."
"General Yanlin, this princess has made up her mind, the four princes said that they would protect me thoroughly, this princess believes him, you wait to return to Yandu as soon as possible, now that the Huns are invading, every soldier and soldier of my Yan country is very precious, and the safety of my father and queen mother and the safety of tens of millions of people in Yan country still depends on your protection."
"Princess, think twice" Immediately after, several Yan generals knelt on the ground and shouted, "Please think twice, princess"
"Quickly retreat, this is the order of this princess" Yan Ning ordered sharply, and the princess was imposing.
"The last general... "The general of Yan Lin stood up, said helplessly, and was just about to give an order to return to Yan Kingdom, when countless arrows floated around, and the Zhao army and the Yan army suffered countless casualties in an instant. At the same time, the road when the Yan army came also killed many enemy troops!
"Protect the four princes," General Lian Feng hurriedly shouted at Zhao Jun.
"Protect the princess," General Yan Lin shouted, drawing his sword, approaching the carriage in which the princess was riding.
"General Yan Lin, you quickly lead my Yan soldiers out and return to Yandu, tell my father that my daughter will go to Zhao this time, and I will definitely let Emperor Zhao send troops to fight against the Xiongnu with us, there are more and more enemies, and if you don't go, you may not be able to go, go quickly"
"Princess...."
"This princess is protected by Zhao Jun here, you don't have to worry, quickly lead the troops to rush out, this is an order, you execute it immediately"
"The last general commands, princess take care, the soldiers of the Yan army, follow me to kill the enemy, break out, kill" and then led the Yan army to rush back! Fought with the enemy.
In a forest in the middle of the mountain, there were countless Hun soldiers, a Hun leader was directing the Huns to shoot arrows down, and a middle-aged man who looked like a strategist walked up to him angrily and shouted: "Che Liji, who asked you to give the order for the soldiers to attack in advance?" Now we have not fully surrounded the two armies of Yan and Zhao, if you launch an attack in advance, someone will inevitably escape, so we can't annihilate them all, you are ruining the plan I proposed to the king, what should you be guilty of"
After hearing this, the Hun named Che Liji pursed his lips and replied disdainfully: "You Guannei people just like to engage in some intrigues, where do you use these in front of our powerful Hun warriors?" Our warriors can kill them all directly, where is the use of what tricks to make them kill each other? ”
"You..." The middle-aged man was choked with anger, and said angrily: "Che Liji, if one of the two armies of Yan and Zhao escapes in this battle, I will definitely join you in front of the king when I go back" After finishing speaking, he left with an angry face.
Che Liji glanced at the back of the man leaving, snorted, and then ordered to the soldiers beside him: "Tell the warriors of the grassland that except for the princess of Yan Kingdom, all the others will be killed, and no one will be left."
At this time, Zhao Kuo had already climbed into the carriage of Princess Yan and asked Li Xuan to rush to the intersection where he went back. Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy army rushing out now was blocked by the Yan army, Lian Feng also led the Zhao army to escort the carriage and withdraw together.
When they retreated to the exit, they found that more than half of the Zhao troops who stayed behind had been killed or wounded, and the rest were still fighting with the enemy, and the archers who had been arranged on the high ground on both sides were also rushed up by the enemy, so they could only abandon their bows and arrows and engage the enemy in close combat. And the enemy continued to kill from the mountains on both sides.
Seeing this, Lian Feng ordered: "The cavalry will charge in front to open the way, and the others will follow behind to protect the four princes and kill them, don't fall in love with the battle, go straight to Yanyun City" and then he himself rushed to the front.
The two armies were crowded on this narrow road, and the cavalry charge was also invincible, whether it was the enemy or our soldiers, when they saw the cavalry coming back, they instinctively hid to the side, and soon rushed out of the enemy's encirclement.
But before they could go far, the cavalry in front tightened the reins one by one, causing the horses to stop, and some of the people behind who reacted a little slower collided directly with the people in front, and there was chaos for a while.
Lian Feng kept shouting for a while: "Don't mess up, don't mess up, stop the whole army"
It turned out that the road ahead had been blocked by people with felled trees, and people could climb over it, but horses could not pass through. Lian Feng returned to the carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Zhao Kuo: "Fourth prince, the road ahead is blocked, we can't pass, you and the princess get off, I will let the soldiers pile up a wall for you and the princess to climb over."
"General Lian Feng, do you think it's safe for us to turn over? Since the enemy has blocked the road here, won't there be heavy troops left behind? Maybe the enemy wants us to turn over and throw ourselves into the net."
"But now that the road back is blocked, and there are enemy troops chasing after us, we have no way to retreat."
"Is there no other way to go?" Zhao Kuo thought to himself, shouldn't it?
"The last general will send someone to climb over to find out if it is safe" Then, a group of soldiers began to climb up the human wall, but as soon as the climber showed his head, he was shot by an arrow and fell.
Then many arrows were fired, and when Lian Feng saw this, he hurriedly shouted: "Shield cover, protect Your Highness"
Zhao Kuo was protected in the middle by a group of people holding shields, and after the enemy shot a few waves of arrows, he stopped, and I don't know if the arrows had been shot.
"General Lian Feng, we must quickly find a way out of here, otherwise when the enemy behind arrives, we will be surrounded by the front and rear."
"Your Highness, General Lian, the last general knows that there is a road in the mountains that leads directly to Yanyun City," one of Lian Feng's lieutenants suddenly said to them.
After hearing this, Lian Feng's spirits were lifted, and he hurriedly asked him, "General Wu, is there really any other way to reach Yanyun City?" ”
"The last general was on an errand in Yanyun City a few years ago, when there was a gang of bandits who occupied the mountain as the king in Mangshan on this day, and often blocked the road to rob the merchants of Yan and Wei to Yanyun City, and later Yanyun City sent troops to exterminate, and the last general was also in the team, at that time the team walked on the path in the mountain forest, but the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, and there were fewer and fewer people going backwards, and now I don't know if I can still find traces of that road, and if we enter the mountain, then the cavalry's war horses will be abandoned, These war horses have been accompanying the soldiers on the battlefield for many years, and the soldiers must be reluctant! ”
"General Lian Feng, General Wu, don't say anything, order the whole army to go directly into the mountains and set off, there will be after the war horses are gone, if the human life is lost, there will be nothing" Zhao Kuo can also understand the mood of these cavalry generals, the Central Plains country is different from the grassland nomads, since ancient times, war horses have been scarce, it is not easy to come here to Zhao State to form a cavalry army, no matter how reluctant these soldiers are, now it can only be like this, after all, entering the mountains and forests The war horses will completely lose their effect, and leading them will only become a burden, It can only be discarded.
"The Last General Commands"
"The cavalry dismounted, the whole army entered the mountains and forests, the cavalry dismounted to explore the road in front, and the rear army left the palace, we have to enter the mountains and forests from here, and turn over to the other end to find a path that goes directly to Yanyun City."
After many cavalry dismounted, the first reaction was to prepare to lead the horse into the mountain together, after Lian Feng saw it, he shouted loudly: "All the war horses are discarded, enter the mountains and forests" After speaking, he took the lead in untying the reins of the horse, patted the horse's face and whispered: "Good partner, thank you for accompanying me for many years, now you can run for your life"
"General Lian, the war horse has been with me to fight all over the country for many years, the last general is reluctant to throw it away, the last general would rather live and die with it, please allow the general to rush back and fight to the death with the Huns."
As soon as the junior general said this, he followed closely behind and responded: "Please allow me to fight to the death with the Huns, and we will not return if we do not die."
Seeing this, Lian Feng hurriedly shouted: "This is an order, whoever dares to disobey will be dealt with by military law, and will not be tolerated."
The other soldiers saw that General Lian Feng said this, although they were reluctant, but they also knew that they could only do this, and they were dejected and helpless to untie the reins of the horse, and let the horse run to the mountains and forests on the other side, and even some soldiers shed tears. For a while, the sighs in the team were endless.
Seeing this situation, Princess Yan Guo said to Zhao Kuo: "Fourth prince, Yan Ning thinks that you should say a few words at this moment to boost your Zhao Jun's morale."
Zhao Kuo heard her say this, and thought about it, yes, in my previous life, I didn't often see soldiers on TV going to war, and the emperor or commander would stand on the point general platform and say a bunch of bull bs coaxing words, I should know this.
So Zhao Kuo stood on the carriage, thought about it for a while, and shouted: "Soldiers, we all have to remember this day, this day, the Huns harmed us so embarrassed, this day the Huns harmed us lost our war horses that we have fought with us for many years, this day, the Huns surrounded us, want to kill us all, in the future, when we return to Zhaodu, after reorganizing the soldiers and horses, do you want to go to the Huns for revenge?" ”
The surrounding soldiers were still immersed in the reluctance to lose their war horses just now, and when they heard Zhao Kuo shouting, they all responded loudly, "Revenge... Revenge..."
"Yes, we want to find them for revenge, but now the most important thing for us is to return to Zhaodu first, survive first, only survive, and then we can kill the grassland and find the Huns to avenge their hatred."
Not to mention, after Zhao Kuo shouted a few words, even he himself felt refreshed and full of enthusiasm, and he couldn't wait to rush over and roll up his sleeves to have a fight with the Huns.
"Now everyone obeys General Lian Feng's orders, and immediately set off to the mountains and forests, we have to leave here as soon as possible, and the soldiers behind will not be able to resist if we drag it down" After speaking, Zhao Kuo jumped out of the carriage, and then helped Princess Yanguo Caidie to come down, and said with a wry smile: "Princess, after entering the mountains and forests, I will be wronged to walk with you."
Yan Ning smiled and said: "It is Yan Ning's honor to be able to share the hardships with the four princes" After speaking, with the support of several maids, he followed the soldiers into the mountains and forests.
