Chapter 333: Waiting for Idle Ground to Make Waves (continued.)
Obviously, under the good situation before, they have all encircled and annihilated the grass thieves under Xinzhou City, and Gao Yue has already begun to draft most of the Gonggong Gong; Get ready to act as a volunteer to serve as Huainan's dedication to Lubu, and go to Chang'ancheng's Suzaku Street to swagger and sacrifice prisoners.
Suddenly they were surrounded by more grass thieves from all sides; Then, after a period of hard fighting in isolation inside and outside the castle, the officers and troops suddenly collapsed and broke through in all directions; Then, he learned that Zhang Zheng, who was presiding over the situation, had disappeared in the battle array.
And he escaped from the chaotic battle with the men and horses who broke through all the way, only to find that he was besieged by more grass thieves who came over. Although their equipment was extremely rudimentary, and they looked ragged and yellow-skinned, they were simply vulnerable to attack, but they relied on the huge disparity in numbers to exhaust and drag down these Huainan athletes who had been exhausted and hungry for a long time.
So he was also scattered again from the remnants of a certain battalion soldier and horse who had broken through all the way, and was again scattered by the grass thieves who were surging in all directions, and finally fell into the wilderness with men and horses; But he finally escaped the other battalion soldiers, and after falling from his horse or being dragged down in the battle, he stripped his clothes and armor to the surging crowd, and tore them to pieces or trampled them into flesh on the spot.
And in the dark, he felt that he should have another life and situation;
For example, he worked hard to obtain the imperial examination and received the beautiful position of Dongtai, so he entered the shogunate and went out of the mansion to win the five surnamed women, and then cleverly set up a name to occupy the sister-in-law, and the ambiguity of the princess and the female crown of the current dynasty continued; Even to save the driver, obey the heavenly merits, take the Yue family and replace it as a party marshal, and like the dynasty Xuanma worship the prime minister, and finally expel the Western Domain to defeat the captives, sweep away the world is not a minister, since then the autocratic power of the three generations of the Son of Heaven The road to the winner of life.
"Why is this happening...... For the first time, he made a contribution on the battlefield; For the first time, I had the opportunity to boast about the court and the lintel. These two pleasant things are intertwined. And these two joys will bring me a lot of joy. I should have had this dreamlike happy time. But why is it the way it is......
He was so wandering and sad that he couldn't help but cry with tears until he saw with his own eyes that the familiar banner that vaguely belonged to the Huainan official army on the opposite side of the rushing river was still floating in the military village of the ferry on the riverside.
"God pity me, ah... How could such a tragic thing come down? ”
After crying for a while, he finally felt that his mouth was dry and stopped, and he couldn't help but go to a pool of clear water by the river and bury his head and drink bitterly, after calming the burning thirst in his throat and the unbearable hunger in his belly; But he couldn't help but turn his head away from the shaking of the ground.
But it was a group of Huainan officers and soldiers who were also disgraced and abandoned their armor, rushing from the mountains and wilderness in the distance. Gao Yue couldn't help but be happy in his heart and was about to step forward to greet and identify himself; Then the smoke and dust that were far behind them made the words in his mouth immediately swallow back; And then he plunged headlong into the sparse reeds on the edge of the water.
Although most of these grass thieves were only thin rags or wrapped in cloth, with bare legs and feet and bare arms, their faces were covered with blackened blood and swollen and red chilblains, and they were all holding sticks, wood, sickles, etc., and some of them ran and fell to the ground and could not get up again;
However, the rest of the people were madly chasing and killing like mad tigers, and this wave of officers and soldiers, who were obviously more robust and well-armed, but had lost their courage, had little power to fight back. From time to time, officers and soldiers who have stragged behind are caught up by them, and they are beheaded and their throats cut in the midst of the cries of mercy and wailing; Then, amid the cheers, the killer put on a robe that still carried body temperature and blood, and continued to chase after him.
Fortunately, not far away was the ferry to the other side, and these officers and soldiers, who were languishing in the process of escaping, suddenly burst out with great courage and speed on the spot, and once again opened the distance from the chasing grass thieves and rushed in;
This couldn't help but make Gao Yue sigh suddenly, as long as they were willing to form a formation and wait for reinforcements, these grass thieves who also looked weak and weak would definitely not be able to move them. However, just as the panting grass thieves were slowly catching up again; In the middle of the ferry, however, there was a sudden burst of noisy killings, and there was no reason to fire each other and civil strife.
It took another moment for Gao Yue to see clearly the focus of the cannibalism of these officers and soldiers, which was a few dilapidated large-mouth flatbed ferries; The officers and men who had already boarded the ship were wielding their swords to defend their positions, while the officers and soldiers on the shore, who were a step late, were also slashing with their weapons in an attempt to seize or squeeze a position.
Obviously, instead of turning back to face and resist the pursuit of the grass thieves, they are more willing to raise their weapons without hesitation to raise their weapons to kill their own escape opportunities against their fleeing comrades who once fought side by side; I saw that with a few heavy boats, swaying leisurely in the pleading, crying and scolding of the rest of the people wading in the water, they finally sailed away from the river bank and gradually walked away.
In the process, he climbed onto the boat with all his might, and the severed fingers and palms rolled down the side of the boat, and splashed in the rippling cold river water, and the color of the red was fleeting; In fact, in the end, the number of officers and soldiers killed in the battle to seize and get on the ship was even greater than the number of officers and soldiers who were chased and killed by the grass thieves.
There are also people who desperately and resolutely follow the trail of the riverboat leaving, and jump into the river and try to swim towards the opposite bank; Then he slowly swam slower and slower, and finally became a small dot that drifted away with the waves, struggling with all his strength, and gradually drifting away.
In the end, the officers and soldiers who remained on the shore did not end well, they were either killed on the spot by the grass thieves mercilessly after kneeling and begging for mercy, or they were driven back into the river, and slowly drifted and drowned or washed away.
And Gao Yue could only look at this miserable and cruel scene sadly, and his voice whimpered and uttered some words of unknown meaning.
But he suddenly remembered that once upon a time they had executed those captured grass thieves on such a large scale; is still laughing and talking about the reputation of the "release valve", and he also thought that he had gambled on his own archery skills because of the target.
When the killing on the side of the ferry subsided again, the ferries full of the fugitive officers and soldiers finally arrived at the cross-strait city walled with the flags of the officers and soldiers; Gao Yue couldn't help but sigh immediately, at least some of them were able to escape; Maybe they can bring back friendly forces on the other side to attack and kill these grass thieves.
Then, after a few breaths, it suddenly regenerates. Gao Yue vaguely saw that the officers and soldiers who arrived on the opposite shore not only did not immediately dock, but instead held their poles upside down and made a move to retreat from the shore; Then, many sparks flew out of the walled city and rained on the ferries of the fugitive officers.
"It's a fire arrow."
As soon as this thought was turned, under the gaze of Gao Yue's dumbfounded expression, these remnants of officers and soldiers who had easily escaped from the desperate situation and death after many twists and turns struggled to die in the rain of flames and arrows; In the end, only a few ferries laden with corpses and fireworks remained, washed back by the current.
"How... How could this be ... Something must have gone wrong. ”
At this moment, Gao Yue was completely desperate, and he struggled to tear his hair, as if he could use this to pull out the fear, horror and confusion in his heart.
Why is it that for these defeated Huainan soldiers, the grass thieves are not only chasing and killing here, but the ferry officers and soldiers who are also subordinate to Huainan Town must shout and kill without saying anything.
Then he saw that the grass thieves had waded into the water, dragged the stranded ferry boat back to the ferry, and picked up the corpses as if they were familiar with the road. However, the officers and soldiers on the other side of the river seemed to turn a blind eye, and also sent people to inspect and clean up the scattered corpses in the water and grass that washed up on the riverbank;
I saw that in a suffocating silence, the two sides of the river looked at each other peacefully; There was no clamouring or scolding, as if he was doing something he was used to.
Gao Yue, who was curled up in the reeds, his face full of dazedness and sluggishness, witnessed this scene, and suddenly a very terrible thought occurred in his heart, and then he shivered and suffocated deeply like falling into an ice cave;
Because, perhaps, he inadvertently discovered a secret and cruel truth that was so important that it was enough to destroy the imperial court and the temple of the high duke, and even subvert the entire world.
。。。。。。。。。
And in the city of Yuezhou,
Chen Yanzhang, who had just received the post of teacher in the army, felt something in his heart again and burst into tears after watching the play "The Biography of Liang Zhu". Then I secretly read and guessed with a few acquaintances of the same year:
"Could it be that this is the relationship between the False Leader, etc., or the prototype story of his own appearance."
"Although he has great talent and ambition, he was disgusted and reprimanded by the woman who admired him because of his humble background, and he was disliked and reprimanded by the Gaomen Jiadi where he was located, and Lao Yan flew apart and was seriously ill and vomited blood and died one after another. ."
"It's just that when he was dying, he had some chance to come back to life, and then escaped into the empty door to achieve enlightenment, and he was disgusted with the way of liberation of Shakya, who escaped from the world."
"So he abandoned the idea of mundane personal love, and instead threw himself into the troubled times and raised troops one after another, and followed the grass thief to rise from the dust;"
"Swear to eliminate the injustice in the world, recreate humanity and peace, and redeem the world as its own responsibility, and the great love has no borders."
The more they talked, the more excited they became, and the more they talked, the more excited they became; It's as if he and others have inadvertently glimpsed the truth and the hidden origin;
Immediately, they became secretive between each other, and their respective covenants and vows categorically could not fall into the outer ears, and then they dissipated with anxiety and excitement that were difficult to understand.
However, it is clear that not everyone is able to keep their word for it. Then one of the people in the party turned around many streets and alleys, and finally came to a nondescript village outside the city.
Then, he was led to a rather graceful old man in the center.
I finally caught up, I'm really embarrassed, because I almost jumped the ticket because I helped the kitten with English homework.
Just despise me with a recommendation ticket...
