Chapter 207: Moths to the Fire
When Liu Heimin rushed into the enemy formation, the red lady did not hesitate for a moment, and led the soldiers to rush across the opposite bank, go deep into the enemy formation, and started a melee with the Tang soldiers. Some of the crossbowmen retreated to the side, some used swords and swords to resist the Xia army's charge, and the Red Lady slaughtered the enemy with a stubborn force and defeated the enemy. She was able to kill, a red tassel spear encountered a stabbing one, I don't know how many people were pierced through the chest by her gun, and some were picked off her horse before they could parry. However, Tang Bing, relying on the large number of people, immediately divided her and Liu Heimin's two or three thousand horses into several units, and surrounded her tightly. The Red Lady and her two or three hundred soldiers killed a group of Tang soldiers, and the second group swarmed up, always unable to break through the encirclement. Tang Bing had fought many battles with the Red Lady's men and horses, and when he saw this fair-skinned, beautiful and beautiful female general, plus her red tassel spear and snow-white war horse, he recognized her even if he didn't look at her banner. At this time, she was surrounded all of a sudden, and she shouted from all directions: "Capture the red lady alive!" Capture the Red Lady alive! But in spite of the tightness of the encirclement and the vigorous shouting, he did not dare to get very close.
Liu Heimin, who was looking for the main general of the Tang Army, suddenly saw that the Red Lady was surrounded by four or five times more enemies under a mound, so he rushed to relieve the siege. But when he rushed to the distance of the Red Lady's arrow, he found that there was a ravine more than five zhang wide and four zhang deep in front of him, and a group of Tang soldiers ambushed in the middle of Lin Mang on the other side of the ditch, jumped up, shouted to kill, and fired arrows in unison, so that many of his men and horses were injured and fell off their horses in a moment, and had to take a few steps back.
He was so anxious that he couldn't wait to fly over a ravine more than five zhang wide and four zhang deep to save his "dream lover". Just as he was in a hurry to go crazy, and was about to wave his army to make a detour from the right, he suddenly saw the red lady kill the encirclement and kill all the way to this side. It turned out that the red lady arranged the people into a circle formation, resisting the siege of the Tang soldiers on the one hand, and looking for an opportunity to break through the siege on the other. Seeing that Liu Heimin was blocked by the bow and crossbow on the bank of the ditch outside an arrow, she waved her gun and said to her soldiers, "Come with me", and rushed towards an enemy general like a tiger out of the mountain. The enemy general greeted her with a big knife, only to see her spear flash, and the big knife in the enemy's hand flew out a few feet away, and Goo Dong fell off the horse. The Tang soldiers were frightened, and they all retreated, dodging a gap. The crossbowmen who were standing on the bank of the ditch saw the red lady coming from behind and fled in a hurry.
After Liu Heimin and the Red Lady met, Liu Heimin's hanging heart finally let go, the Red Lady smiled sweetly at him, and the two worked together to re-enter the core of the Tang soldiers and rescue the other two or three people who were encircled.
The red lady climbed a small hill to take a look, only to see the banners and men of the Tang soldiers all over the mountain, and couldn't help but sink in her heart. The army was completely surrounded by heavy troops.
After the battle just now, Liu Heimin and Hongniangzi's soldiers also suffered hundreds of casualties, and many others were seriously or lightly wounded. It used to be hung up, and now it's back again. There are quite a few people who have been injured in several places and are still with Tang. The army fights. The large number of casualties was very unfavorable to them. Although they fought very bravely, in the end the number was too small to defeat the Tang soldiers. The Red Lady and Liu Heimin saw very clearly, the enemy's troops here were at least more than 30,000 people, and they were elite troops.
The red lady had to admire Li Shimin, the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, for his accurate calculation, guessed the direction of their breakthrough, and buried heavy troops in the northwest. And sent Hou Junji and Li Junxian, two experienced Tang . General, it seems that this time it seems that there is no escape!
Seeing that the red lady was a little frustrated, Liu Heimin encouraged: "There is no endless road!" Tang Dynasty. Although the army is numerous, most of them are infantry, and we can take advantage of the speed of our cavalry to find an opportunity to break out of the enemy's encirclement. Don't worry, Xiuyingmei, we will definitely be able to escape and make a comeback, you must cheer up! ”
Seeing Liu Heimin's earnest and encouraging eyes, the red lady's heart was hot, "With this friend, this life is enough!" ”
She regained her strength, and Liu Heimin slightly sorted out the team, divided it into two groups, and coordinated with each other, charging and killing the enemy's infantry, flickering east and west, and flickering and merging. They used this tactic to firmly grasp the initiative on the battlefield, constantly killing and fatigue the enemy, disrupting the enemy's ranks, and no longer looking for the enemy's backbone to attack.
The melee was unprecedentedly tragic, and although the Red Lady and Liu Heimin were few in number, they used the cavalry to move quickly, flickeringly, and sometimes to Tang. The infantry of the army general Li Junxian rushed violently, and sometimes suddenly took Hou Jun's concentrated army, killing Tang. The army was in disarray.
Liu Heimin was like an angry lion, swinging a long-handled broadsword and slashing at the same time, roaring loudly, and killing several Tang generals in a row. An enemy general had just rushed in front of him, and suddenly heard him roar, and the horse was startled, and before he could parry, he was slashed off the horse by Liu Heimin. Liu Heimin was so bloody that he was like a bloody man, and the horse's hooves were splashed with the blood of the dead and wounded, and they all turned blood-red, even the people and horses were blood-red, like the Grim Reaper who came out of hell, which made people shudder.
But Don. The generals Hou Junji and Li Junxian had many men and horses, and they were well-trained. He struck to the east, and the enemies in the east retreated, but the lineup was not chaotic, making it impossible for him to break through, and the enemies from the west poured in like a tidal wave. When he returned to his horse and went to slay the enemy to the west, the enemy from the east came back. He suffered several minor wounds, and there were only more than 200 men left under his command, some of whom were also wounded.
Seeing that Liu Heimin was under siege and in danger, the red lady shouted coquettishly, and led hundreds of personal soldiers to fight against Tang Hemin, who was surrounded by Liu Heimin. The army rushed forward, Liu Heimin and his subordinates saw the banner of the word "Xia", their morale was greatly boosted, and suddenly the cry was thunderous, and they turned from defense to attack, rushed away from the encirclement of the Tang soldiers, and regained the initiative on the battlefield.
After a day of bloody battles, the Red Lady and Liu Heimin finally successfully broke through from the northwest direction, galloped all the way, and rushed to the Hexi Corridor.
……
Finally get rid of Don. Liu Heimin and Red Lady, who were in pursuit, led the remnants of the troops to march wearily on the ancient road of the Hexi Corridor, and these remnants of the soldiers were their most loyal subordinates. It was already afternoon, and the Qilian Mountains on the left side were winding and endless, and a simple ancient road was extending forward. A few thin trees, a wisp of lonely smoke, the remnant sun is like blood, and a flock of crows pass by noisily; Two bulls pulled the cart weakly; A farmer followed the ox cart, and then there was a dog, and this dog was the only one in heaven and earth, and the others were dead. On the ancient road, the men and horses who had traveled for a day were exhausted, and the war horses struggled towards the western desert with heavy limbs, and a cloud of dust escaped over them.
"Brother Hei, where are we going now?" The beautiful face of the red lady no longer has the heroic spirit.
"Determination to be like a mountain, and a path like water; It is not as good as the mountain and cannot be firm, and it is not as good as the water that cannot be curved. There are only a few of us left, and most of them are wounded, so it seems that we have to go to the Turks for the time being! Liu Heimin, who was full of dust and tiredness, glanced at the haggard red lady and felt distressed. The beautiful and heroic red lady is the wife of the late Dou Jiande, the overlord of the land of Yanzhao, and has always been Liu Heimin's dream lover, but Dou Jiande is his iron buddy, he has never dared to show this affection, but he loves silently in his heart, for the dream lover, even if he goes up the knife mountain and goes down to the sea of fire, he will not frown.
He originally wanted to desperately recapture the land of Yanzhao for his dream lover Red Lady and realize her long-cherished wish. But who would have expected that Li Shimin, the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, was too powerful and finally failed miserably. This time, I originally planned to take the remaining more than 3,000 brothers to the grassland to recuperate, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback, but I was calculated by Li Shimin, the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, and set up a heavy ambush on their way to the northwest, more than 3,000 brothers lost more than half, and now the remaining more than 1,000 remnants are also wounded, alas, this Li Shimin is simply his nemesis!
Thinking of these, Liu Heimin, who is positive and optimistic on the surface, is actually full of frustration and pessimism in his heart. The future is hopeless, and now there is no place to stand, "Alas, I am really useless, and I will suffer my sweetheart!" ”
The red lady was silent for a while, and when she saw Liu Heimin, who was tired and depressed, she felt a trace of warmth and a trace of guilt. If it weren't for her, maybe this man was now living a leisurely pastoral life of disarming and returning to the field, just because of her invitation, Liu Heimin, who had been disarmed and returned to the field, took up arms without hesitation and followed himself on the dangerous road of no return against the Tang Dynasty.
The red lady comforted in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Okay, maybe the Turks will help us make a comeback......
The group turned around and defected to the Turkic Jieli Khan.
Two days later, the Red Lady and her entourage passed by a small temple, which was backed by a cliff, which looked cold and desolate, but it was also quiet and clean. The red lady has a bleak future now, she is at a loss, and she doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse to go to the Turks, and she is confused in her heart, and when she sees the temple, she can't help but want to go in and ask God for divination.
Liu Heimin saw the red lady staring at the temple in a trance, knowing that her heart was in turmoil, and she wanted to ask the gods and Buddhas to dial it, so he asked the troops to temporarily rest more than 200 meters away from the temple.
Seeing that Liu Heimin understood herself so well, the red lady couldn't help but be moved in her heart, so she got off the war horse, handed the reins to Liu Heimin, hesitated for a moment, looked around again, bit her lip, and pushed the door into the temple. Liu Heimin faithfully stood at the gate of the temple and guarded his dream lover.
After the red lady walked into the temple, she saw two little monks inside, so she found the incense, gave some incense silver, respectfully offered the incense, and then knelt down and prayed in front of the Buddha statue.
At this time, an old monk with long eyebrows and white beard walked out of the hall, kind and kind, and his eyes flashed with the glow of wisdom. He gave a salute to the red lady: "May I ask if the donor wants to draw lots to ask for divination?" ”
The red lady hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
The old monk then took a sign holder full of spiritual sticks from under the Buddha seat and sent it to the red lady, who knelt in front of the Buddha statue and prayed silently for a while, closed her eyes and shook it reverently for a while, and fell out of the lottery holder with a spiritual lottery. The red lady picked up the spirit sign and looked at it, only to see that it was written: "Everything is from fate, ten troubles and nine Jiao." It's better to retreat and seek quiet, and only burn the incense to the Buddha. ”
She couldn't understand it, so she handed the spirit sign to the old monk. The old monk looked at it, was silent for a while, and then said to the red lady: "Qingshan has changed to Yellow Mountain several times, and the world is always busy; There is dust in the eyes, and the three realms are narrow, and the heart is one bed wide when there is nothing to do. I think the donor's hatred and infatuation are too deep, the hatred is too deep, and the obsession is too deep, and he must learn to let go in order to be freed, otherwise, there will be more evil and less luck. ”
The red lady was stunned for a moment, and there was a hesitation in her apricot eyes, but she quickly shook her head firmly: "Thank you for the master's guidance, I also know that the future is dangerous, but I can't retreat, because I have no way back." I can't let go either, because I swore a poisonous oath in front of my husband's tomb, even if there is an abyss of sword mountains and fires in front of me, I will continue to walk! ”
After speaking, the red lady Huo Ran got up, turned around and strode out of the temple gate, flew on the war horse, clamped the horse's belly, and galloped away like a sharp arrow, leaving only a set of smoke and dust behind him......
After a long winter, the cold night was dark
Thought I would turn into a butterfly and fly
The moment I broke the cocoon, I knew the poignancy of love
Fell in love with the prickly roses
There is no way back
Let the fire in your heart burn all your love
I flew like a moth into the fire
In the end, I couldn't see anyone crying for me
It doesn't matter if you're in love with each other
Who wants to taste the beauty that turns to ashes?
I flew like a moth into the fire
In the end, I couldn't hope that anyone would be with me
Until the ashes are gone, let me brush away all my sorrows
Who will soothe my tired tears with love
