Chapter 60: Fellow Travelers

The black shadows were surging in the fields by the riverside, and the army of the Xinzhou Governor's Mansion of Zhou State, which had not long landed on the shore, was marching quickly to Jiangling City not far to the north under the leadership of several people, and their mission was to enter the city from the south gate of Jiangling to support the internal response of the Liang State Palace to launch a mutiny.

The Anzhou rebels occupied Jiangling and controlled the Liang monarchy, which was intolerable for the nearby Xinzhou Governor's Office, and the Great Zhou court controlled the Liang State for more than 20 years, and it was impossible to watch the Anzhou rebels swallow the Liang State.

For the Shinju Governor's Office, after a series of schemes, it will be clear today, the Anju rebels only care about guarding against the Shinju army on the west side on land, thinking that if they hold Jiangjin southeast of Gangneung, then the Shinju army will not be able to transport a large number of men and horses to the shore by boat, but they did not expect that they would only transport foot soldiers to the south of Gangneung and go ashore, without seizing Gangjin.

"Hurry up, there's already chaos in the city." A general urged in a low voice, and as soon as the words fell, he suddenly raised his head and looked around, and when the others saw this, they asked what was wrong, and he frowned and looked at the reeds in the southeast.

The reeds were five or six hundred paces away from them, and they couldn't see anything unusual in the moonlight.

A southeast wind blew, and the breeze mixed with the smell of river water poured into everyone's noses, and the general twitched his nose and sniffed it, and suddenly his face changed greatly: "It's the smell of horses, and there are horses in the reeds!" ”

The smell is too familiar to him, it is the smell of horses mixed with the smell of sweat, the smell of horse urine and a lot of them, there will be no wild horses in this Jiangnan wilderness for no reason, the only possibility is that someone is leading the horse in the reeds.

At this time, leading a horse in the reeds is definitely not a horse, so the only possibility is the cavalry, and there are cavalry guarding there, naturally waiting to attack their own side.

"There are cavalry. It's an ambush! ”

As soon as the words fell, before the people could come back to their senses, they saw the black shadow swaying in the reeds, and it was not long before they heard the neighing of horses. Then the sound of horses' hooves came to him like a tidal wave. By the moonlight, it really looked like a group of cavalry!

"Quick, gather and defend!" The general howled and drew his saber and swung it, while the people around him were stunned by the rapidly approaching cavalry: how could there be an ambush here? How can there be cavalry here?

In order to take into account the night march, the formation of the Shinshu army at this time was a long strip in the north-south direction, which just exposed the flanks to the cavalry that suddenly attacked, and now the moon was shining brightly on the field, which was also just right for the cavalry to charge.

The time required to run five or six hundred steps is not long for the cavalry, and it is not enough for the infantry who formed a hastily formation, and their team of more than 1,000 people is not all found that there is an abnormality on the southeast side at the beginning, and wait for the generals to shout from beginning to end before starting to move, and the other party is approaching.

There are quick archers who open their bows and arrows, but they shoot a round of arrows, and the cavalry who rush in front of them is picked away with their horses, and then the infantry who are in a hurry to meet the battle are charged and trampled by the roaring cavalry.

The neatly organized ranks were scattered in such a rush, and the enemy cavalry formed a horizontal formation and combed them through them like a comb. The soldiers who had narrowly escaped the assault had not yet had time to stabilize their positions, when another wave of cavalry rushed over.

The two groups of cavalry of nearly four or five hundred cavalry were close to half of the number of this Shinshu army, and the infantry who originally thought that they could unknowingly touch the city of Gangneung and entered the city with their inner should have suffered more than half of the casualties after the first charge of the enemy cavalry.

Seeing that the cavalry turned their horses and were about to start the second round of charge, the surviving Shinshu soldiers gathered together to try to make the other party retreat, but most of them had knives and rattan cards in their hands and few spears.

Some of them were lucky enough to run to the river, but the distance of more than a mile became the last leg of their lives: two legs could never run four legs.

"More than a thousand foot soldiers dare to come and attack Jiangling!" Shi Wansui sneered on his horse, the already vague-looking mast of the warship on the bank of the river in the distance was getting more and more blurred, and the other party realized that something was wrong and had fled north from the shore in a hurry.

"The lord of the building, except for a few living mouths, the others have been killed." A cavalryman approached to report, Shi Wansui nodded and ordered the cavalry to dismount and take away all the armor from the enemy's corpse and the weapons.

"Lord Shi is really accurate, there are really people who come ashore by this river with bad intentions." Another horseman rode up. He is Liu Boer, the deputy of Yuwen 15, Yuwen 15 was driven back to Anlu by Yuwen Wen, the commander of the army, so Liu Boer temporarily led the cavalry of this building.

Previously, when Yuwen Wen led his troops into the city, he arranged for Shi Wansui's cavalry to patrol in the southeast of Jiangling to prevent the enemy troops coming from the direction of Jiangjin. After pondering for a while, Shi Wansui felt that if something happened in the city, if the other party had an external response, it was very likely that the external party would come ashore from the riverside in the southern suburbs of Jiangling.

After he discussed with the military lord Chen Wudi and others, everyone agreed with this idea, and Chen Wudi directly handed over most of Liu Bo'er's cavalry to Shi Wansui under the unified command of Shi Wansui to inspect the southern suburbs of Jiangling, and as a result, he really encountered the enemy army who landed on the shore.

"Deputy Liu Cheng, please lead your cavalry to patrol in the south of the city, lest there be another attack by thieves who don't know whether they are alive or dead." After Shi Wansui finished speaking, he looked at the direction of the south gate of Jiangling City, and Liu Boer saw that there seemed to be a torch lit over there, so he asked how to solve those who ate inside and out.

There are soldiers outside the city to steal the city, then there must be someone at the city gate to answer the door, otherwise just by climbing the wall, once discovered, you can only be defeated and escape, the current situation seems that the south gate guard is afraid of colluding with this group of people.

"It's okay, when the army stabilizes the situation, none of those rats can escape!" After Shi Wansui finished speaking, he rode his horse and led his cavalry to gallop eastward, and the eastern suburbs of the city and Jiangjin Shu were also places they needed to be careful about......

In the palace, in the Bamboo Forest Hall, Xiao Yan, the king of Anping, covered his bleeding chest and looked painful, and Emperor Xiao Yue of Liang held him anxiously and kept talking: "If the seven officials hold on for a while, the imperial doctor will arrive!" ”

"The official family, the younger brother only wants to cheer me up." Xiao Yan's face was pale and his speech was already intermittent, Xiao Yu just asked him not to speak and save his strength with red eyes.

When Fang Cai Yuwen Wen led people to rush in, the two sides started a fierce battle, with the help of Yang Ji and Laihu'er, the two fierce gods who could fight, the scene quickly reversed, and at this moment, a few good hands brought by Xiao Yan actually rushed to Xiao Yue, intending to take him hostage and flee, Xiao Yan was in a hurry to prevent being stabbed in the chest by the other party's dagger, but he also bought time for Xiao Yue's guards to react and escort.

"The younger brother did not usurp the throne, and he did not hesitate to prevent Liu Nao," Xiao Yan died of anger before he finished speaking, and his dream of reviving the Great Liang also disappeared.

Xiao Yue watched the fifth brother break his breath in front of him, and the sadness came from his heart, and he understood the other party's mood, when he ascended the throne at the age of twenty, he was also full of enthusiasm and wanted to work hard to rejuvenate the big beam, but the ruthless fact shattered the unrealistic illusion, and now this impulsive younger brother died because of this, and he can only grieve in vain.

Yu Wenwen stood by the door with an expressionless face, wiped the knife, and watched the parting sorrow of the brother in front of him, he just thought that his brother Yu Wenming was killed, and he almost lost control of his emotions, and he wanted to 'draw a knife and slash and kill a river of blood', but fortunately, what Zuo Minlang said in the fierce fight that Yu Wenming had withdrawn from the palace, so he calmed down.

"Junhou, this time the troubled official family is indeed in the dark, please calm your anger." Cai Yunxiang accompanied the smiling face in front of Yu Wenwen, and it was he, Liang Guozuo Minlang, who explained the situation on the spot just now to resolve the misunderstanding.

"Cai Langzhong, my brother went to the palace for a banquet but encountered this catastrophe, although he escaped from the palace and now his life and death are unknown." Yu Wenwen said as he fiddled with the bright saber, "If my brother has three long and two short breaks, blame me for being spicy!" ”

The elder brother escaped, but if he escaped he would be ambushed, he didn't know, and he didn't know if he could escape smoothly after being ambushed, Yuwenwen was anxious in his heart, but he could only stay here and watch Emperor Xiao Yue of Liang so as not to have another twist and turn.

Cai Yunxiang knew that the safety of this young man was now at stake, and the soldiers brought by the other party were fierce and abnormal, and the rebellious forbidden army had been suppressed, and the little soldiers on his hand might not be their opponents, so he had to keep saying that Yuwen made Jun Ji and the people of Tianxiang would definitely be fine.

Yu Wenwen was not interested in this pale words of comfort, outside Tian Xiaoqi and Lai Hu'er led the people to guard the Zhulin Hall and monitored the forbidden army, and Yang Ji took a few people and Zheng Tong, the 'leading party', to chase the mastermind behind the escape-what Honglu Siqing, although he wanted to bring the mastermind to justice, but the most important thing at the moment was to defend Emperor Liang and the imperial city, and he couldn't take care of so much.

"Junhou, King Anping is also impulsive, instigated people and went astray, and now he is also dead in order to protect him, and I also ask the prince to leave a few words of good words in the future, so that King Anping has a whole corpse." Cai Yunxiang changed the topic again, he knew that although Yu Wenwen's position was small, he was the younger brother of Yu Wenming, the commander of the Anzhou Army.

Although this is also what Emperor Liang thinks in his heart, but this can only be said by him, a courtier of Liang State, of course, if Yu Wenming is killed, then everything will be over, and the fate of the royal family of Liang State is also in the other party's thoughts.

Yu Wenwen was noncommittal on this topic, his brother didn't have any definite news, so he was not in the mood to understand the other party's brotherhood now, and when he was silent, footsteps sounded, and then Yang Ji and the others came to the hall.

"Commander, that group has responded, and now they have escaped from the palace."

Yu Wenwen has some regrets about escaping the mastermind behind the scenes, but now the first priority is to control the palace, "Who is controlling that palace gate now?" ”

Yang Ji said that he had arranged for people to guard to prevent suspicious people from entering and leaving, and the mastermind behind the scenes who escaped from the palace may not escape out of the city, and when the army controls the situation, the whole city will definitely be able to dig three feet into the ground.

A close attendant came in a panic to report that a large number of Anzhou troops had opened the gate outside the palace to greet them, and those people were now killing in the palace with a nervous face, and Cai Yunxiang was also sweating profusely Xiang Yuwen Wen smiled and wanted to ask him to come forward to ease up.

"Well, if the elder brother is safe and sound, then it is easy to say, if the elder brother and others are all buried together!"

Before going out, Yu Wenwen glanced back at Xiao Yan, the king of Anping, who had lost his breath, and then led people away, Xiao Yan's thoughts, he probably guessed that he was going to fight against the current, and rejuvenated the beam, from this point of view, he was a fellow traveler, but the other party failed.

"And I, I will never fail!" (To be continued.) )
