Chapter 19: Long Live Shi? Are you Shi Wanzai?
Shi Wansui lay down on the ground and died, and countless Anzhou Army soldiers stepped on him and remained motionless.
When the Anzhou army used sensational means to set fire to burn their own soldiers to charcoal, Shi Wansui escaped with his life, he originally thought that it was too late to retreat and join his own large army, the opponent's army formation had already advanced to the front, and if he dared to get up and run, he would be shot into a hedgehog.
The enemy's reinforcements came, and they were still cavalry, and the imperial army saw that it was about to be defeated, and then it wanted to turn defeat into victory, so Shi Wansui decided to fish in troubled waters first, and then find a chance to slip away.
As for what to do in the future, he was at a loss in his heart: what if the army was defeated and he ran back, the siege equipment of the Anzhou army was huge, and his defeated troops might not be able to defend the city even if they wanted to.
The father and son have been loyal to the Great Zhou for many years, and they never thought that they would have to work hard for their relatives and Yang Jian, the Duke of Sui, who had evil intentions for the Great Zhou.
Five years ago, the Great Zhou destroyed Qi, his father was killed in battle with the Qi army, and as the son of a meritorious hero, Shi Wansui inherited the title of Duke of Taiping County and continued to serve the Great Zhou.
originally thought that under the leadership of the wise and martial emperor Yu Wenyong, the peaceful and prosperous era of the Great Zhou Dynasty was coming, and he could live the life of a rich man, but Yu Wenyun, who was enthroned, was a faint monarch, and in less than two years, the Great Zhou was disheartened.
God has eyes to accept this bastard who is evil, but he really can't show his allegiance to the little emperor Shi Wanzai who ascended the throne, so it doesn't matter if the little emperor's grandfather Yang Jian is in power, Shi Wanzai, the only thing he is entangled in is that he is innocent and loses his title, he can't swallow this breath.
"Commander the army, it's our reinforcements coming!"
"The overall situation has been decided, and the southern army will not be able to return to heaven this time."
"Commander, do you want to stop the phalanx?"
"Okay, let the soldiers rest."
The spear formation of the Anzhou army moved slowly, and just as Shi Wansui was distracted, there was a sound of talking in his ears, he knew that he was already in a gap somewhere in the spear formation, and he also knew that the voice he heard was probably coming from the mouth of the main general of the spear formation.
He lay on the ground and turned his face to the south, opened his eyes slightly, and after getting used to the light, he saw the scene clearly: about five paces away, several men dressed as generals surrounded a young man who was also dressed as a general.
The man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he looked at the smiling faces of the people around him, so he should be the commander of the spear phalanx.
"Fifteen or sixteen years old, I think I was fifteen years old when I first went to the battlefield" Shi Wansui remembered the situation when he first went to the battlefield, and at this moment, there was a sudden pain in his hand, but a soldier happened to step on his hand and stopped.
Because he was distracted for a while, he couldn't hold back the pain and moved his hands, but was discovered by the other party: "Huh? Someone is playing dead! ”
Shi Wansui complained bitterly in his heart, then gritted his teeth and suddenly got up, seeing that the enemy's main general and the people around him did not react, he turned his heart sideways: "You and I have no grievances, if you want to blame, blame yourself for taking it lightly on the battlefield!" ’
He decided to hold the enemy hostage so that he had a chance to escape, whether he could escape or not was one thing, but whether he fought or not was another, as for what to do next, he would take one step at a time.
At this moment, a skinny bone suddenly jumped out in front of him, holding a dagger and rushing towards him, Shi Wansui was bent on catching the enemy's main general, and he didn't have the heart to entangle with him, so he didn't plan to dodge, and continued to advance at the cost of eating a knife.
However, the skinny seemed to see through Shi Wansui's thoughts, and after the dagger in his hand shook falsely, he jumped up and kicked at his crotch, and Shi Wansui had to twist his body to dodge when he saw this.
He felt that he could be stabbed in the chest even if he was stabbed in the chest, but he couldn't help it when he was kicked at that point.
Shi Wansui was about to rush forward, but the skinny and good skills were floating around in front of him, entangled, and he was delayed for a while, and a group of soldiers around him were already hulala, and they all pulled out their knives and faced him.
"Traitor, you are lucky if you didn't hit an arrow!" Shi Wansui knew that everything was over, and then pointed at the young general and scolded.
"Bastard, you put the cold arrow just now?!" Yu Wenwen looked at the man in front of him who was pointing at himself and scolding for a moment, and then sneered, just now he was almost given a second by a 'Cloud Piercing Arrow' in the formation, causing him to finally 'explode'.
Now that the birdman dared to pretend to be dead to assassinate himself, Yu Wenwen felt that he didn't look harmless to humans and animals, so he was remembered as a soft persimmon.
"Traitor! Don't think that Anzhou can be rampant," Shi Wansui decided to scold before he died.
"Take it for Ben!" Yu Wenwen was too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party and directly ordered to have a good time, and the soldiers surrounded him when he heard the words.
However, Shi Wansui parried left and right with a dagger, and the soldiers were unable to step forward, and just as he was about to rush towards the young commander with a fluke mentality, he was alone in front of him.
"Take a knife, don't say I'm bullying you!"
As soon as the words fell, a knife was thrown in front of Shi Wansui, he looked down at the knife, and then looked at the man, his eyes couldn't help but redden, and then he rushed forward with a dagger: "Hugh wants to underestimate people!" ”
Shi Wansui didn't want to be so underestimated by the other party, and decided to die with dignity, the other party was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and his body generally didn't look like a powerful figure like an ox, and he stood so close with a long knife in both hands, in his opinion, he was looking for death.
A close-quartered melee dagger is much more advantageous than a long knife!
However, Shi Wansui couldn't parry the chaos after a few moves in the opponent's hand, and then he was kicked over, and the man was holding a long knife, it stands to reason that it is inconvenient to perform close combat, but I don't know what kind of knife technique is used, and the whole body is protected by water.
"Take a knife, don't say I'm bullying you!"
Shi Wansui saw that the other party was so contemptuous of himself, a burst of blood rushed up, roared, rushed forward, to fight hard, he didn't want to share anything, he had to die together, so he didn't plan to dodge, he had to eat a few knives, and then stick it and stab it with a dagger.
As a result, the other party kept swinging his knife like a monkey, and finally kicked him over.
"Take a knife, don't say I'm bullying you!"
The third time he heard this, Shi Wansui was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth, but he still grabbed the dagger and pounced forward, and then he was kicked over after a few rounds, and the dagger fell to the side.
"Take a knife, don't say I'm bullying you!" Yang Ji looked at his subordinates expressionlessly and said this sentence for the fourth time.
The so-called cat playing with mouse is nothing more than that.
Shi Wansui has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is skilled in archery and horses, and he is good at riding and fighting, and if he plays with a knife on foot, ordinary people can't resist his strength, but now the thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him are obviously better than those with long knives.
Seeing that the hand-to-hand confrontation was being played by others, he did not take a knife after getting up from the ground, but screamed and hit the other party, but was beaten down and pressed to the ground by soldiers on both sides.
"Playing a dagger, the capital is not smooth, and there is a face, and the scholar assassinates!" Yu Wenwen walked up to him, looked down at him, and began to taunt.
Shi Wansui, who was disheveled, struggled to raise his head and looked at the person in front of him, and was about to scold, but he heard the sound of the horn one after another, the horn came from the south, and then countless cheers came like a tide.
"It's the commander of the Chinese army, and the chief is coming this way!"
"The army is pressing up, and the southern army is finished!"
"It's the cavalry, it's the cavalry of Xiangzhou, they're outflanking!"
Listening to the voices of discussion and cheers in his ears, Shi Wansui's whole body strength seemed to be instantly drained and then his whole body softened: defeated, the imperial army is still defeated, this defeat is not only the end of most of the southern army, I am afraid that most of the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion will not be able to be saved.
Shi Wansui let the soldiers erect himself without any resistance, and he looked at the young man without saying a word.
"You were so arrogant just now, could it be that you are Liang Mo under the Duke of Yuguo?"
Hearing the other party's question, Shi Wansui was surprised: Liang Mo, the very capable leader of the trilogy under Liang Shiyan, the Duke of Yuguo, actually spread to the ears of an ordinary general of the Anzhou Army?
He had noticed that the number of pikes in the formation was about two thousand to three thousand if it was counted together with archers or something, and it seemed that the soldiers in such a sharp military formation did not look like government soldiers, so according to common sense, the military position of the leading general was about the same as that of a commander with 3,000 troops.
The character of the commander is five lives, and a general at this level is too ordinary to be ordinary.
"If you don't speak, then forget it, you, go back and persuade your lord to surrender quickly, you can't hold it if you escape back to the city, even if you run to Shangwan!"
Shangwan is the name of Nanyang in this era, and it is also the place where Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, started his home, and it is also the place where Zhuge Wolong cultivated in the rumored Three Kingdoms era, and it is another important place for the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion in addition to the state governance of the city.
Shi Wansui heard this, his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't speak, and he found that the other party mistook himself for Liang Mo, the leader of Liang Shiyan's subordinates.
"Let's go!" Yuwen Wen motioned to the soldiers to push the person in front of him out of the formation, "Ben General said that no one would release cold arrows, but if you can't go fast and are cut down by the cavalry, then Amitabha." ”
Shi Wansui was entangled for a while and still didn't impostor: "It's not Liang Mo below." ”
"Oh, then take it as such, go and tell your marshal to surrender quickly." Yu Wenwen was not 'moved' by the other party's truth, he felt that the other party dared to stab to the death was also Liang Shiyan's subordinate part, the elite kind.
The previous arrow almost killed him, and at the same time woke him up: he is not qualified to suffer from gains and losses!
It doesn't make sense for a reckless man to kill, it is better to put it back to 'disturb the morale of the army', so as to reflect the 'leniency policy' of the Anzhou army, if the marching marshal Liang Shiyan surrenders, the damage to Yang Jian will be doubled.
Seeing the opposing soldiers pushing themselves out of the spear array, Shi Wansui looked back at the Anzhou army that was chasing the victory all over the mountains outside the formation, and couldn't move his footsteps, and his heart was sad: Where else can he go?
His mother had already died and his wife died of illness at the beginning of the year, he had no sons and half daughters, he was already alone, and he had no face to go back to Liang Shiyan to ask the other party to give him another chance.
"Shi has no face to go back, and please give the general a good time!" He knew that he had no way out, and turned to Yu Wenwen and said.
"? It's Shi, Ben will see that you shot a good arrow and killed it, but it is a pity to go back and persuade your comrades not to struggle, brothers have served Da Zhou for so many years, why bother to work for the traitor Yang Jian. Yu Wenwen waved his hand, "Defeat is defeat, crying and shouting to give a good time, could it be that Yang Jian is your benefactor is so loyal?" ”
Shi Wansui was just silent, his face was red and white, and Fifth Brother Chen and Zhang Yu on the side felt strange, while Yang Ji and Xu Shao looked at Yu Wenwen when they saw this, their eyes were very 'ambiguous'.
"What do you think I don't know?" Yu Wenwen was stared at by these two people and was uncomfortable, he probably guessed the mind of the person in front of him: there was no way out, but he didn't want to commit suicide, so he simply put his life in his hands, to put it bluntly, he just wanted to accept his fate and surrender and couldn't wipe his face.
He saw that the opponent's archery skills seemed to be very good, and he felt that it was not bad to recruit soldiers to practice archery, so he switched to the recruitment mode: "Well, your archery skills are good?" It just so happens that our army lacks a bow and arrow leader, so why don't you bend one or two? ”
"Thank you for not killing the general!" Shi Wansui knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said loudly, "I don't know what the general is called?" ”
"Yu Wenwen, Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County is also, now it can be called the unified army on the battlefield."
Shi Wansui was surprised when he heard this, what the imperial army wanted when they went south this time was the heads of Yuwenliang, Yuwenming, Yuwenwen and his son, and he never thought that he would defeat Yuwenliang's second son, Yuwenwen, on the battlefield.
He had heard rumors that this Yuwen Wen was a prodigal rich man when he was in Chang'an, and he acted completely out of tune, and he was a waste-like person, but he didn't expect to have such a powerful military formation.
"Haven't asked for the name of the strong man yet?"
"Long live in Xia Shi, who was originally a general and a knight of Taiping County, was assigned to serve in the army for his crimes."
Everyone present gasped when they heard this, they thought that this person in front of him was at best a general's subordinate, but they never thought that he was still a general, this is the official grade of Zheng Jiu Ming, and the rank of their own county official is the same.
Yu Wenwen was also stunned, not because of the official title but because of the name.
"Hooray? Are you Shi Wanzai? ”
Shi Wansui nodded yes when he heard this, and then asked what the commander commanded, Yu Wenwen looked at him and asked in an incredulous tone: "Shouldn't you go to Dunhuang to be a soldier when you were dismissed?" ”
