Yun Xi ran to the east in Nettle Ridge at first, and when he didn't have much strength, Lan Zhen dispersed everyone, and Lan Zhen escorted Yun Xi with the most elite people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lan Zhen had been at the southernmost end of Nettle Ridge, and he knew that Huai Anwei's people would definitely come to the rescue, if it weren't for their horses really not being able to hold on, he would definitely have been riding east.

But it's getting tougher and harder now. On this day, it was already the early morning of the second day of the tenth month, Lan Zhen comforted Yunxi and said, "Your Highness, the soldiers of Huailaiwei will arrive soon, and they will be safe immediately." ”

Yun Xi also knew that it was the darkness before dawn, so he nodded and continued walking.

Lan Zhen decided to take the plunge and look at the official road. The first thing Huai Laiwei sent must be cavalry, and only cavalry can arrive so quickly. They now have to join up with the Ming army that has come to their aid as soon as possible.

Lan Zhen took Yun Xi to a place very close to the official road. It was also obvious that Tugan had realized that he wanted to prevent them from entering the official road to join the Ming army who came to help, so more people were sent to the official road to patrol back and forth on horseback; Of course, it is also preparing for a better retreat.

After looking at it for a while, Lan Zhen whispered: "The Mongolian soldiers are in a team of ten people, patrolling back and forth on the official road, and when a group of Mongolian soldiers stops in front of them for a while, they will go to get the horses." There are only seven or eight zhang from here to the official road, and we still have five bows and twenty arrows, which are enough to destroy them. ”

Yun Xi said, "But we still have sixteen people. These horses are not enough. ”

Lan Zhen said, "Someone must come to stop the Mongol soldiers chasing after them."

Yun Xi pursed her lips and did not speak. He had seen too much death these days, and his tears had dried up, and he would no longer oppose Lan Zhen's orders. It's just that the fire of anger in his heart is burning more and more, just waiting for the time to explode.

After a while, a group of Mongol soldiers, apparently tired of riding, stopped nearby, and dismounted, talking and laughing.

The place where they stopped was more than twenty zhang away from Yun Xi and them, and Yun Xi and they walked slowly a few zhang over there, and stopped for fear of being discovered, and then Lan Zhen found the five people with the best archery skills to open their bows and arrows, and chose the best time to open the bow!

In an instant, five Mongolian soldiers were shot to the ground, and the remaining five Mongolian soldiers immediately got up and wanted to get on their horses!

At one time, five more arrows were fired, but this time only three Mongol soldiers were killed, one was shot in the ankle, and he could not run; The remaining one was shot in the shoulder, and one of them stumbled and failed to get on the horse.

The guards led by Yang Feng and Chen Xing had already rushed up the moment they shot the arrow. Chen Xing was originally very afraid of death, but now he is also afraid of death, but he has killed a lot of people these days, and he knows that he must be brave when he wants to live, so he rushed forward.

Chen Xing rushed to the front, shook his hand and threw out the knife in his left hand, the Mongolian soldier heard the wind behind him, and dodged the knife thrown out, but at this time Yang Feng had already rushed up and stabbed him, but the Mongolian soldier still blew the whistle in his mouth before he died.

Lan Zhen immediately urged Yun Xi to get on the horse, Yun Xi didn't talk nonsense, got on the horse with Lan Zhen and the others, and said to the guards who were left behind to block the attack: "Treasure!" Then he ran west.

After hearing the whistle, the commander immediately ran to the place where the whistle sounded with hundreds of Mongolian soldiers around him. The six guards who were left to block the attack did not even have horses, and there was nothing they could do in the face of the rushing cavalry, and they were quickly eliminated. But he did not become any happier, and immediately rushed west with the Mongol soldiers.

The Mongolian soldiers led by the commander were all one man and two horses, and their speed was faster than Yunxi, and they soon saw Yunxi's back, and they were busy stretching their bows and arrows. Yun Xi didn't expect them to chase after them so quickly, and one of them was shot and fell to the ground. Yun Xi and they are dead and summon the horses, they must escape!

The Mongolian soldiers kept shooting arrows, although there was no accuracy, and the distance was far and even more difficult to shoot, but Lan Zhen dared to let Yun Xi be shot! Let Yang Feng and Chen Xing, the two martial arts, best protect Yun Xi.

At this time, an arrow was shot at Yun Xi, but Yang Feng didn't notice it. Chen Xing shouted: "Your Highness be careful!" Then he subconsciously let the horse slow down, and he blocked behind Yun Xi, and the arrow pierced Chen Xing's body! After the arrow was inserted, Chen Xing thought, "It turns out that I will do such a thing." ’

Yun Xi flashed when he heard Chen Xing's voice, then looked back and saw Chen Xing with an arrow in his back, obviously acting as an arrow for himself. Yun Xi thought that he would no longer want to cry, but this time he shouted with a crying voice: "Chen Xing! You, how are you? ”

Chen Xing is very afraid of death on weekdays, of course Yun Xi knows that although Chen Xing tries his best to cover it up on weekdays, after all, everyone can see that they have been together for a long time. Of course, Yun Xi was not very satisfied with Chen Xing, who was so afraid of death, but Chen Xing was one of his first few guards, and he was also loyal to himself, so it was inconvenient to remove; And Yun Xi got along with them, and he also had feelings, and he didn't want to remove.

But Yun Xiwan didn't expect that this Chen Xing, who was so afraid of death on weekdays, would block this arrow for himself!

Chen Xing and Yun Xi ride side by side. The arrow hit his lungs, and Chen Xing was already feeling breathless. He knew that he would not survive, so he gasped and said to Yun Xi: "Your Highness, I'm afraid that the minister will not have a chance to protect His Highness anymore." Your Highness probably knows, my original idea was to wait for His Highness to ascend the throne, and beg His Highness to give me one, according to His Highness's words, it is a position of 'more money and less life close to home', but now it is not possible. ”

Yun Xi choked up and said, "Why can't it be! When we return to the capital, I will immediately beg Your Majesty to give you a seat of 'more money and less life close to home'! ”

Chen Xing smiled and said, "Your Highness, the minister is fortunate to have a son, so he will not be unfilial." But my father has only one son, and I beg Your Highness not to send my son into battle until he has a son. ”

Yun Xi said: "Okay, whatever." ”

Chen Xing said to Yang Feng on the other side: "The two of us are the first guards to follow His Highness, after I die, you have to protect Your Highness." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Yang Feng to reply, he let his horse slow down, then stopped on the official road, and then tried his best to open his bow and arrow, shot an arrow, and then pulled out his knife and rushed forward.

Yun Xi didn't look at Chen Xing's final ending, but kept urging the horse to continue to accelerate. But the Mongol cavalry led by the leader is getting closer and closer!

But by this time there was already the sound of horses' hooves ahead. Yun Xi shook their spirits and accelerated forward!

The commander was also in a hurry, and ordered all the Mongolian soldiers to move forward as fast as possible! The horses of the Mongol soldiers were more physical than the ones they robbed, and they gradually approached.

The nearest Mongol soldiers were already on the verge of catching up with the last two of them. If it weren't for the fact that the Mongols had already shot all the arrows by this time, Yunxi and them would have died.

But this is also at stake. At this moment, dozens of arrows shot out from the mountains on the side, killing the Mongol soldiers at the front in an instant. Then a flurry of arrows was fired from the mountains, disrupting the formation of the Mongol soldiers and forcing them to slow down.

It was at this time that Yun Xi joined the first batch of Ming troops who rushed to meet him.

Seeing that there were more than 1,000 people on the other side, and only more than 600 of them, he scolded hatefully, and then led his troops back.

Lan Zhen panted and said to Yun Xi, "Your Highness, it's finally safe." ”

But Yun Xi didn't pay attention to Lan Zhen, he didn't hear Lan Zhen's words at all. He asked the leader of the cavalry: "Where are you in the army?" ”

This team was the cavalry Qianhu of Huailaiwei who set off first. I saw Qianhu Ning Wei said: "Chen Huailai guards Qianhu Ning Wei is late to save the car, please forgive your Highness!" ”

Yun Xi asked again: "But you are the only army to save the driver?" ”

Ning Wei replied: "Back to His Highness, Huailaiwei only has one thousand households left, and the rest of the soldiers are rushing over. And Commander Yu has already urgently informed His Royal Highness the King of the Valley for six hundred miles; His Royal Highness the King of the Valley should also be rushing over with cavalry. ”

Yun Xi heard that so many soldiers were coming, and nodded with satisfaction. Then he turned his head sideways to look at Cao Xing, who was with Ning Wei's Qianhu; Previously, Cao Xing was sent to lure the enemy with a hundred soldiers, and it seemed that he was the only one left.

As soon as Yun Xi wanted to say a few words, he saw that Cao Xing's left sleeve didn't come out of the sleeve without a hand! Yun Xi said: "Cao Xing, your hand, your left hand, yes, yes ,......"

Cao Xing said with a smile: "I was accidentally cut by the Mongolian soldiers, haha, I also cut down the person who dared to cut off my hand." After a pause, he said: "Although I Cao Xing only has one hand left, I can still fight for His Highness!" ”

Yun Xi couldn't speak, but just shook Cao Xing's right hand tightly.

Then Lan Zhen said: "Your Highness, there are more than 5,000 Mongolian soldiers, let's continue to walk back and join the army that is rushing from behind." ”

Yun Xi said: "No, just set up camp here, I will wait for them to come over!" Lan Zhen couldn't persuade her, so she could only agree. But this time, I camped very carefully, and I made sure that there were no loopholes.

At this time, Yun Xi said to Ning Wei: "Just now, when the Mongolian soldiers were about to catch up, someone shot arrows from the mountains, was it the person you arranged?" ”

Ning Wei said: "It wasn't arranged by the minister, and the minister doesn't know what's going on." ”

Yun Xi said: "Send people to search the mountains to see who they are, and I want to reward them!" But the man who sent it replied: "Your Highness, there are traces of people walking on the mountain, but we have not found anyone. ”

Ning Wei said: "Most of them are nearby mountain people. Most of the mountain people here are hunters, with excellent archery skills, and they have been oppressed by the Mongols, most of whom have taken action. ”

Yun Xi said: "After I go back, I will post a notice at the gate of the city, saying that the brave people who have made a move here today will be rewarded. Ning Wei promised.

Early the next morning, Zhu Lu, the king of the valley, arrived with his army. Zhu Yu led the cavalry of the three guards to catch up with the infantry of Huailaiwei, plus some troops from other guards, a total of more than 20,000 people arrived.

Yun Xi met with Zhu Xi, and after greeting for a while, Zhu Xi said, "God is fortunate that you are fine." Let's go back to Xuanfu and rest before setting off for Datong. ”

Yun Xi gritted his teeth and said, "I still have something to do, how can I go back here!" (To be continued.) )
