024 Coup d'état (4)
Seeing that his prince had not moved for a long time, Alem couldn't help urging: "Third prince, don't let go of the arrows, and when they rush in, it will be too late." ”
"Archer prepare, release the arrow!" Tuoba Yan didn't care about it, he would kill it first.
For a while, the rain of arrows shot at the opposite side. And Babur is a veteran of the battlefield for a long time after all, he did not panic, calmly dealt with it, and the shield in front of him was blocked, and he easily defused the attack of the third prince.
"General, they're attacking, we can't wait any longer." The adjutant general proposed to Babur.
"Cavalry prepare, rush into the enemy camp!" Babur drew his sword and ordered.
The iron cavalry was the first to rush into the camp of the third prince, and Tuoba Yan commanded the archers, "Keep releasing arrows!" ”
However, there were not many of Tuoba Yan's men, and most of them were slaves. Their arrows were not accurate, and it was difficult to aim at the high speed of the cavalry.
So they shot indiscriminately into the air, and for a moment the arrows flew wildly, and everyone could only pray in their hearts, hoping to be able to shoot four or five like a blind cat encountering a dead mouse.
"Shoot the arrows!" Tuoba Yan waved his right arm and continued to order.
"I didn't ...... There are no arrows. After a few rounds, the soldiers in the rear suddenly ran over and reported it.
The third prince sighed and said to his best riding companion: "Alem, you go quickly, bring a small team of men and horses, and go to protect the women in the tent." ”
"Yes." Alem took the order and left.
With the rear secured, Tuoba raised his "snow tip" scimitar and said to his soldiers, companions and slaves: "The time for the decisive battle has come, for the sake of the women behind you, you must not let them attack." All the men get on the horse and rush me! ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Tuoba Yan led the men and horses first, and rushed into the enemy formation.
Tuoba Yan's kung fu was taught by the Khan himself. Although he has never really been on the battlefield, he usually likes to compete with others, but the difference from usual is that this time it is a life-and-death contest, and it is no longer a point-and-death battle.
Tuoba Yan instigated the war horse, the "snow tip" came out of the sheath, slashed at the oncoming cavalry, and with a clean knife, he cut it off the horse. Abutai, who had the best martial arts among them, followed closely to the left of the third prince, and Tuoba Yan insisted on rushing to the front line, so he had to follow and protect.
Inside the tent, Jimmy and several slave girls huddled tightly together and sat in the innermost corner. When they saw the swords and swords outside, their shouts shook the sky, and their hearts were beating non-stop. Jimmy listened worriedly to the voices outside, for fear that the third prince would have something wrong.
"No, I'm going to take a look outside." Jimmy said abruptly on his feet.
"Sister Jimmy, you don't have a knife, you'll be killed if you go out." A slave girl grabs Jimmy and stops her from taking the risk.
Jimmy was stunned for a moment, and after looking around, she bent down and picked up a stick, and said to the others, "Just have it." ”
After that, she took the wooden stick and resolutely rushed to the battlefield.
"Jimmy, why did you get out?" On the battlefield, Alem was killing happily, and he never thought that he suddenly saw a woman appear outside the tent. He hurriedly rode over, and when he got closer, he was surprised that it was Jimmy.
"Where's the master?" Jimmy dodged the knife and gun, and looked here for a long time, but still did not see the third prince.
"The third prince is on the front line." Alepmu escorted Jimmy to a corner, "Don't go and make trouble for the third prince, the prince said, let me protect you well." ”
"Did the third prince really say that?" Jimmy was a little touched inside.
"No, the third prince said, let me protect all women."
"All women ......" Jimmy's heart suddenly fell to the bottom again, it turned out that she was in the heart of the third prince, just like other women.
"Sister Jimmy, go back quickly." Alem was very anxious in his heart, and the battle situation was becoming more and more unfavorable for his side. Although the third prince is brave, he can't match the large number of people.
"No, I want to see him." Jimmy said firmly, "Take me to my master." ”
On the front line, the third prince is still leading people to charge, and at this moment he has already hung a few colors on his body. The most seriously injured was his left arm, which was slashed by someone, and blood continued to trickle out. When Abutai saw that someone dared to hurt the prince, he directly pierced the man with a shot and threw him off his horse.
Abutai looked at Tuoba Yan worriedly, only to see Tuoba Yan skillfully remove the cloth strip, tie the wound tightly, and temporarily stop the bleeding.
But he looked at the battlefield again, and the enemy was constantly attacking, and his soldiers were dead and wounded.
Doomed? Tuoba Yan sighed, everyone tried their best, but they still couldn't beat it.
Alem came with Jimmy on horseback, and Tuoba Yan frowned and shouted, "What are you doing here, go back quickly." ”
"I'll come." Jimmy said stubbornly, but the next moment when she saw that the third prince was injured, she was stunned, "You are injured." ”
"Nonsense." The third prince looked ahead, anxious, where could he take care of his injuries.
"What can I do?" Jimmy asked in a panic.
"I'm afraid that I won't even lose my life later, and I don't care if I hurt or not." Tuoba said nonchalantly.
After hearing this, the few people here immediately fell silent. There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and if you can't beat it, you can't beat it. But the third prince will not be a deserter, he is willing to live and die with the soldiers.
Jimmy also calmed down, she looked at the corpses on the battlefield with tears in her eyes, and said angrily, "Tuoba Yin, it's so hateful. ”
"Even if you die, you have to have a few more pads." When death was imminent, Alem still couldn't change his behavior, he smiled and asked Abutai, "Let's go, kill a few more." ”
“…… Good. The taciturn Abtai finally spat out a word.
Just when everyone was about to make a big fight, suddenly the third prince keenly noticed that the enemy's rear formation was scattered, and there seemed to be something wrong. He waved his hand to stop Abutai and Alem, and said in surprise: "There are reinforcements!" ”
"Aid...... Reinforcements? Alem looked ahead in disbelief, he really couldn't think of whose troops would come to support.
"Oh my God, reinforcements! It's really reinforcements! Jimmy was able to stay calm in the face of a desperate situation, but when she saw hope, she burst into tears and burst into tears of joy.
The others weren't as excited as Jimmy, especially Tuoba, who looked at the other side without blinking until he could see the banner of the reinforcements.
A black wavy flag suddenly appeared on the land of green clouds. It was held aloft and glowed brilliantly under the light of the torches.
