Chapter 57: The Return of the Hero
Zhao Rui's troops got closer and closer, and they could already see that the Tartars were beginning to attack the city, and there were bursts of shouts of killing.
At the same time, a group of five hundred Tatar cavalry got closer and closer.
Arjuna rode close and said, "Zhao Rui, I'll go and persuade them!" ”
Zhao Rui looked at the city wall in the distance and saw that a large number of tartars had been turned over there.
"It's too late, there's no need to waste time."
If the princess persuaded them, the troops would definitely have to stop, but now in an emergency, they must hurry to the city no matter what.
When the time comes, persuading the leader of the Tartars to surrender, or killing, and saving Jingjiang Mansion is Zhao Rui's ultimate goal.
Zhao Rui looked solemn, stood at the door of the carriage, and put the M16 on his shoulder.
"All of them! Aim for the front Tartar and wait for the order! Note that continuous shots are not allowed, only single shots! Repeat! Only a single shot! ”
The enemy got closer and closer, and when it reached more than 300 meters, the Yuan army had already begun to bend its bow and arrows.
"Shoot!"
"Doot, doot, toot, toot......"
The gunfire rang out loudly in the sky, and the tartars on the opposite side fell one by one like wheat being harvested.
Although the marksmanship of the Jingzhong Society was not so accurate, these Tartars formed a cavalry battle formation, which was densely arranged, and even deliberately widened the formation in order to outflank.
This greatly increased the accuracy of the fighters on Zhao Rui's side.
It only took a few breaths, and the living cavalry on the opposite side suddenly realized that there was no one around!
All of them are dead?
The few lucky ones who were left turned around and galloped back as if they had gone mad.
But the range of the M16 is more than 700 meters, where can it escape.
"Toot!"
Zhao Rui killed the last one.
"Speed up!"
The horses were running fast, and they had never ridden horses before, and suddenly many people fell off their horses and rolled into a mess.
Zhao Rui didn't have time to pay attention to it at this time.
Finally, the horse team arrived in front of the Yuan army's big tent.
Wu Enqi stood behind a dozen rows of Tartar soldiers, his face uncertain.
These Song musketeers were so brave that the cavalry, which was more than five times larger, was not their enemy?
Afraid of the power of the muskets, Wu Enqi did not order an attack for the time being, but just lined up to confront each other from such a distance.
At this time, one person and one rider rushed out of the Song team.
Wu Enqi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he cried out in a lost voice: "Your Royal Highness the Princess? ”
The Tartar soldiers in front also recognized Arjuna, and they all got out of the way, allowing her directly to enter Unqi's side.
"Her Royal Highness the princess is safe, what a blessing!"
Wu Enqi immediately knelt on the ground and saluted.
"Get up, pause the attack, I have something to say!"
Arjuna rode her horse, imposing, looking down at Unkido.
"This ......"
Wu Enqi turned his head and glanced at the direction of the city wall, and seeing that his side had the advantage, he couldn't help but say with a sad face: "Your Royal Highness Princess, now that the city is about to be broken, wouldn't it be a pity to collect troops?" ”
"Bold! Wuenqi, do you want me to kill you? Arjuna snorted, and half of the waist knife was already out of its sheath.
The cold sweat on Wu Enqi's head suddenly fell, except for her identity as a princess, Arjuna is actually a fierce general in the army, her strength is higher than that of Bamutu, and she is even proficient in the art of war, and her reputation in the army is extremely high, so Wu Enqi does not dare to disobey her.
Coupled with her decisive character, Wu Enqi was terrified for a while, and hurriedly ordered the troops to be withdrawn.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The drums of war were beating, and the Tartar soldiers on the front line were all surprised, seeing that they were about to attack, why did they still collect their troops?
Many Tartars were distracted and were killed on the spot by Song soldiers.
Fang Cai Zhu Ji and Liang Dong were even desperate, they couldn't imagine that the troops of Jingjiang Mansion were so vulnerable, no matter how many soldiers were sent, they were all quickly harvested by the Tartars.
The Song army on the city wall is getting smaller and smaller, but the number of Tartars is increasing.
Moreover, their return cannons are also constantly moving forward, and they have already smashed down many houses close to the city gates.
The two looked at each other from a distance, both with bitter faces.
Unexpectedly, at this time, there was the sound of war drums, and Zhu Ji naturally couldn't understand it, but Liang Dong directly shouted in disbelief.
"Withdrawn! The Tartars are retreating! ”
Although I don't know why, but the Tartars are really going to retreat!
Liang Dong ran closer excitedly, and sure enough, he saw that the tartars were no longer pouring up the city wall, and the stray arrows in the sky also disappeared at this moment.
Only then did Zhu Ji react and ran to Liang Dong's side, also with an incredible expression.
"Lord Zhu! Let's go up and have a look! ”
Liang Dong supported Zhu Ji, carefully climbed the city wall, and found two shields to hold on his head, so that he dared to poke his head out and look.
The corpses under the city were strewn all over the field, most of them were fallen officers and soldiers, and the Tartar army not far away was retreating like a tide in the direction of their main camp.
Next to the camp stood a large group of people, opposite them were ......
Although the distance was too far for it was impossible to see the faces clearly, Zhu Ji and Liang Dong both saw the familiar camouflage.
It's Zhao Rui!
Both of them had an incredible look of ecstasy on their faces.
How dare he confront the Yuan army outside the tent?
He actually ordered the Tartars to retreat?
Just his more than 100 people?
Liang Dong swore that if Mr. Storyteller told the story, he would definitely smash his stall on the spot and scold him for making things up!
Zhu Ji's excited heart was surging, and his lips couldn't stop trembling.
Some officers and soldiers and villagers also recognized Zhao Rui's team from a distance, and they were also amazed and discussed.
"Is this the person named Zhao Rui? How did he do it? ”
"Look at that strange colored dress, it must be them, but why did he let the Tartar retreat?"
"I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out, no matter what, I'm convinced of his guts!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded yes.
The extremely obvious contrast in the number of people is enough to explain everything.
"Zhao Rui has made a great contribution! I want to write to the court and give him a great reward! ”
"What Lord Zhu said is extremely true, I am thinking about calling him into the army! Such a fierce general is simply a blessing for my Great Song! ”
Liang Dong and Zhu Ji each expressed their heartfelt admiration.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you want to marry him?"
Not only was Wu Enqi surprised, but everyone next to him who heard it had their jaws dropped.
The dignified princess Dayuan, marrying a Song commoner, this is simply unimaginable and unreasonable!
"Yes, Zhao Rui's musket is powerful, and our Dayuan is not an opponent, so you should withdraw immediately, and there will be no more siege operations, I have already sent someone to inform my father that the holy decree will be issued in a few days."
"Her Royal Highness Princess...... Are you thinking too highly of him......"
Wu Enqi felt that his brain was no longer enough at this time, and he stammered when he spoke.
"Look high? Two thousand people in Lingshan County died in an instant, and the five hundred people were wiped out in an instant! Retire! I'll take all the responsibility! ”
Arjuna looked at the north with deep eyes, hoping that her father would also understand her painstaking efforts.
Wu Enqi hesitated for a while before taking this extremely difficult order.
"Listen to orders! Fall back! ”
With incomprehension and pity, everyone in the Yuan army packed up their things, rode on their war horses, and left the city of Jingjiang Mansion in a queue.
More than a dozen yurts were also dismantled and taken away.
One of the generals of Unqi bid farewell to Arjuna and set out on his return journey.
When passing by Zhao Rui's team, they all looked at the rifles in each other's hands with jealous eyes.
Zhao Rui was afraid that there would be any abnormalities, so he had already issued an order to let everyone gather on the side of the road.
Soon after, the Tartars were gone, leaving only the countless piles of corpses beneath the walls.
Zhao Rui and the others rode forward, and before they reached the city, the city gate had been opened early.
Zhu Ji, Liang Dong, led a group of officials and generals to go out to greet them with smiles, and other officers and soldiers and citizens also stood in two rows, celebrating the return of the hero!
"Lord Zhu, Lord Liang."
Zhao Rui didn't hold it up, and got off the horse in advance to say hello.
"Zhao Rui, okay! Thanks to you! ”
"That's so capable!"
"You saved Jingjiang Mansion!"
"Young hero, amazing, amazing!"
Zhu Ji and other officials all smiled at Zhao Rui and were full of praise.
The others also dismounted like Zhao Rui and led the horses to line up into the city.
More than 200 war horses are too rare, and there are people on both sides who can't help but reach out and touch them, and the horses are a little anxious, and they keep snorting.
I don't know who first stroked his hands and praised it, followed by a thunderous applause, cheers, and cheers resounded through the sky.
Whether it is Kunnu or Song people in Jingzhong Society, they all hold their heads high and their chests high, and their faces are full of pride!
They looked at Zhao Rui, who was at the forefront, and they were extremely grateful.
Without Zhao Rui, there would be nothing today!
Outside the Lin family.
"Knock knock!"
Zhou Junbrown kicked the door hard!
"Open the door, send your daughter out and I'll see! Come on! Otherwise, you'll slam the door......"
After that, Zhou Junbrown kicked a few more times.
Some neighbors next to him quietly opened the crack in the door, and when they saw that it was Zhou Junzhang and others, they immediately quickly closed the door and locked it as if they were avoiding the plague.
The neighbors were sighing in their hearts that the Lin family was going to be unlucky, this Zhou Junbrown was not a good person.
"Who's making noise outside the door?"
At home, Lin Shizhao was recruited to guard the city, and only Old Man Lin was left alone, and he couldn't help but be a little flustered.
"Uncle, it's me! Zhou Junnan, let's see if you have anything to help here? ”
Zhou Junzhang smiled and gave Zhou Junnan a thumbs up, this brother will come when he lies, it's amazing!
"Oh, Young Master Zhou! There's nothing going on at home, please go back! ”
Old Man Lin had already known what Zhou Junnan was worthy, and it was impossible to be fooled.
"Made, Junnan, don't be so troublesome, I'll come!"
Zhou Junbrown waved his hand at his subordinates and said fiercely: "Knock on the door for me!" ”
The four family members each had big shoulders and round waists, and they banged against the wooden door in groups of two.
"Knock...... Knock ......"
The wooden door was loose for a long time, and even the door frame was knocked down after only three or two strokes.
It was dusty for a while, and the two brothers of the Zhou family waved their hands in disgust.
"Ahh The Zhou family is in! ”
Mrs. Lin stood at the door of the main hall, frightened.
At the same time as they broke down the door, Old Man Lin was also so frightened that he sat on the ground.
"You...... What are you going to do? ”
Old Man Lin's voice trembled a little.
"What to do? Hey! Be your son-in-law, of course! ”
Zhou Junnan doesn't need to worry about anything anymore, today is to have a good time with Lin Mengyao!
