Chapter 32: Before the Broken Soul Slope

When Guan Yu woke up, he opened his eyes and found himself in the big tent of the barracks. When I looked up, I met Ling'er's bright teary eyes, and there was regret, joy, pity, and love in those eyes......

Guan Yu moved his body and wanted to sit up. Chen Ling'er hurriedly pressed his shoulders with both hands and said softly: "Don't move, you've been asleep for three days." Lang Zhong said that you were in a hurry, poured you medicine, and also applied acupuncture to let you have a good rest. ”

Guan Yu found that he had been lying in Chen Linger's warm and soft arms.

He said with difficulty: "What about Qing'er? ”。

Ling'er's eyes burst into tears again, and she bit her lip and said, "If you want to blame you, blame me." I'm afraid that you will be even more sad and sad to see Sister Qing'er's appearance again, yesterday I made my own opinion and ordered someone to put her in the ground. ”

Guan Yu closed his eyes slightly, and two large teardrops silently slipped from the corners of his eyes.

After a moment, he opened his red eyes again and asked, "How is the siege going?" ”。

Ling'er bowed her head and said, "Don't worry, King Pingnan's men and horses are fighting side by side with your subordinates." While you were in a coma, General Zhang, General Du, and King Pingnan all came to see you, and they said that when you woke up and let you rest in peace, they would definitely come to see you with the head of King Zhendong! ”。

At the head of Pingzhou City, thick smoke billowed and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Tang Wannian, the king of Pingnan, who was riding on a horse and supervising the battle in the rear team, looked up at the fireworks at the head of the city, and was quite emotional.

Standing alongside him was Fan Jin, a strategist with white hair.

"This king is really envious of the sixth brother, the fierce generals under him are strong in martial arts, and everyone can be independent. Even the soldiers under his command fought with no regard for their lives, and their bravery was extraordinary! Tang Wannian said.

Fan Jin stroked his beard and nodded slowly: "The old man has also seen it in his eyes for the past two days, and his heart is pounding. After the rebellion was quelled this time, the prince must mention that the king of Dingbei and his family must not be allowed to dominate, so as not to become the second king of Zhendong, and the situation will really be unmanageable at that time! ”。

Tang Wannian hurriedly turned his head to stare at Fan Jin in surprise: "Why did the military advisor say this? ”。

Fan Jin smiled faintly and replied: "Lord Wang, you think, now that the King of Zhendong has rebelled, it will not be a problem for the two of us to work together to defeat him, but once the people and horses of the King of Dingbei raise troops to rebel in the future, how can we help him?" Therefore, you must give advice to the Holy Lord, and quietly divide and divide his people, divide and rule. ”

Tang Wannian nodded slowly when he heard this, bowed his head and said nothing.

On top of the smoky tower, the exhausted Nguyen Vu personally commanded his soldiers to plug the gap and repel the enemy's attacks again and again.

A general stumbled over, and before he had time to kneel down and clasp his fists, he saluted: "Lord Wang, our army really can't hold on!" The east and south gates have been breached, and the enemy has entered the city! ”。

Ruan Wu, who was dejected, listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing in the distance.

Ma Yuanqi on the side said: "Lord, our army has caused the city wall of Pingzhou to be full of holes when it attacked the city, and it was completely too late to repair it, and the enemy army immediately killed it. This Pingzhou city is easy to attack and difficult to defend! Our army has held out well for the past few days, and besides, the enemy army is menacing on both sides, and it is bound to win, so it is better for us to take a step back first and avoid its edge before making plans. ”

Ruan Wu glared and said, "Where to retreat?" ”。

The general who reported the news earlier hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, the enemy army outside the north gate is very weak, and it is the best choice to break through!" ”。

Ruan Wu looked up at the sky, sighed heavily, and said, "Then pass the order, the army doesn't need to be assembled, just break through from the north gate!" This Liu Qian, who reversed his word, also pushed back on the matter of accepting the prince's Zen concession, and pretended to be deaf and dumb! It's better to chop him with a knife to relieve his hatred! ”。

Ma Yuanqi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The prince is angry, and he can't kill him at this time." He just heard that there was a large army outside the city to attack before he dared to deliberately delay, so it is better for us to put him and Shi Dazai in a prison car and evacuate with the team. In case you encounter a pursuer, you might as well have a chip and let them throw a mouse trap. ”

Ruan Wu thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and the group of people hurriedly got off the city tower, got on their horses and rushed towards the city.

Outside the north gate, Tang Wannian, the king of Pingnan, threw some old and weak soldiers to fill up here. In the past few days, there have been fierce battles at the other three city gates, but the soldiers outside the north gate are very leisurely. Armed with swords and guns, they stood far away from the city where bows and arrows could not reach, shouting a few times at the top of the city, scolding the defenders at the head of the city, but they did not come forward to launch a fierce attack.

Two days ago, King Nguyen Vu of Zhendong made an inspection here, and decisively transferred a large number of defenders to support the other gates.

The sound of "squeak button" sounded, and the north gate was wide open. The soldiers outside the city looked up in surprise to find that the rebels on the prancing horses and swords were swarming towards them, and hurriedly raised their swords and guns to meet them.

The shouting and killing behind him was getting closer and closer, but fortunately, the men and horses led by Ruan Wu quickly solved the group of old and weak soldiers in front of them. Ruan Wu held Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, and galloped forward without looking back.

Tang Wannian, the king of Pingnan, who got the news, quickly mobilized the soldiers and horses outside the city who had not yet entered the city to go around the city and directly pursued the fleeing enemy.

Zhang Baiqian and Du Zhongnian, who had already attacked the city, also received the news that the rebels had fled from the north gate, and immediately divided their subordinates into two groups. One group continued to sweep away the stubborn enemies in the city, and the other group immediately killed the north gate and pursued the fleeing rebels.

So, outside the north gate of Pingzhou City, smoke and dust were billowing out, and several people and horses were chasing after them on horseback.

The remnants of Ruan Wu were first bitten by the tail of the army led by Tang Wannian, the king of Pingnan, and Ruan Wu had no choice but to turn his horse and kill him.

When he saw that the leader was Tang Wannian, the king of Pingnan, who was holding a long knife, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Tang Wannian also circled the war horse, hugged his fists on the horse with a smile, and said: "King Zhendong, don't come to harm!" ”。

Ruan Wu's eyes turned red, and he said: "Fifth brother, you and my brother have fought side by side for several years, but today you don't even call the third brother?" ”。

Tang Wannian's face sank, and he said, "Shut up!" When you rebelled, did you think of our brotherhood? ”。

Ruan Wu's face turned dark when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Old Five, don't force people too much!" Push them up. ”

With his shouting, two prisoner carts were pushed forward with the sound of the wheels. Tang Wannian was shocked when he saw the two people in the prisoner car, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted and knelt down to salute: "Big brother and second brother, the younger brother is one step late, so that the two brothers have been wronged!" ”。

Ruan Wu, who was on the opposite side, waved the Fang Tianhua halberd in his hand and said: "Fifth brother, I have always thought of the brotherhood, so I didn't hurt the eldest brother and the second brother, and now I'm not afraid of you." If you come by force, we will be dead today, and I will kill them first and then fight you in a decisive battle; Or, if you promise not to pursue our troops again, I will return the eldest brother and second brother to you!" ”。

Tang Wannian nodded again and again and said: "The gentleman is difficult to chase after a horse, as long as you leave the eldest brother and second brother, I vow not to pursue your troops and horses again, and let you go!" ”。

Ruan Wu smiled proudly, glanced at his subordinates, and the group threw the prisoner cart and fled quickly.

Tang Wannian hurriedly stepped forward and ordered his subordinates to smash open the prisoner cart and release the two brothers.

When Liu Qian and Shi Tiangong walked out of the prisoner car, Tang Wannian fell to his knees again, tears flowing.

Liu Qian hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "Thank you for the fifth brother who came in time and saved us from the predicament, what about the sixth brother?" Why didn't he come? ”。

Tang Wannian raised his side and said: "Back to the second brother, the sixth brother has been seriously ill for a few days, and the siege of the city to rescue the two brothers is all under the command of the younger brother alone." ”

Liu Qian and Shi Tiangong nodded again and again: "It's hard work fifth brother!" It's a pity to just let go of Ruan Wu's thief! ”。

Tang Wannian stepped forward to support the two brothers and said with a smile: "Although the two brothers are relaxed, we have several soldiers and horses chasing after us, and there are ambushes in front of us, so we can't get away from him!" ”。

Liu Qian and Shi Tiangong let out an "oh" and nodded again and again.

Ruan Wu led his subordinates to flee by grabbing the road, just bypassing a small forest, the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and the smoke and dust were billowing out, but it was Zhang Baiqian who led the men and horses to kill.

Ruan Wu had no choice but to bite the bullet and command his men and horses to fight. These defeated armies were already panicked and had no intention of fighting, but the other party was like a wolf and a tiger, as if they had a deep hatred and hatred, and they showed no mercy. In less than half an hour, Nguyen Vu's troops were heavily wounded and scattered.

In the panic, Ruan Wu rushed left and right, and finally opened a bloody road, leading fewer and fewer soldiers and horses to gallop all the way again.

Behind him, Zhang Baiqian's men and horses relentlessly drew their bows and arrows, and while chasing relentlessly, they shot arrows to kill the rout.

In the chaotic fleeing team, Ma Yuanqi originally followed Ruan Wu's side, but unfortunately he was not good at riding, and he fell behind after a while.

Even more unfortunate was the fact that a cold arrow flew impartially into the buttocks of the mount under his crotch, and the horse, in pain, stood upright on its front legs and unceremoniously tossed its owner to the ground.

Ma Yuanqi, who had planted the horse, happened to fall face down in a ball of steaming, very fresh horse manure, and he couldn't see anything with the horse manure on his face. Just as he was about to struggle to get up, the hard hooves of one of his own deserters rushing up from behind stomped heavily on the back of his head.

Ma Yuanqi fell firmly into the ball of horse dung again and never got up again. Countless panicked deserter horses stepped over him like a violent wind, trampling his emaciated body into the mud.

ran for dozens of miles in one go, and finally got rid of the deserters. Ruan Wu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, glanced forward and asked, "It's finally safe, what kind of place is this?" ”。

An adjutant general next to him panted and replied, "Lord Wang, have you seen the big slope in front of you?" It's called Broken Soul Slope. ”

Before the words fell, suddenly the horn sounded in front of him, and the sound of killing was everywhere. Under a high handsome flag, a heroic female general wearing a red robe waved a long knife in her hand, and led her troops to swoop down first.
