Volume 3 Discussion of Dong Chao World Chapter 71 Yishui Riverside - The Death of the White Horse
"My lord, for some reason, most of the banks of the Mashui River are red."
"Red?" Xiang Ao was shocked in his heart, and shouted: "Cross the river quickly, General Gongsun is in danger!" The river was red, and the battle was already fierce, Xiang Ao did not dare to delay, and immediately ordered someone to find a boat and cross the river quickly.
After passing the horse water, Xiang Ao didn't dare to stay, and hurriedly urged the soldiers and horses to run towards Yishui, hoping to rescue Gongsun Zan in time.
"Where righteousness goes!"
"Life and death go hand in hand!"
"The sky is clear!"
"White horse as proof!"
Before he arrived at the battlefield, Xiang Ao's army heard a miserable shout mixed with anger, unwillingness, and fearlessness. Xiang Ao once heard Gongsun Chan say that if one day Bai Ma Yicong finished shouting all the slogans, it would be the time of life and death for Bai Ma Yicong. Gongsun Zhan and Xiang Ao were confidants of each other, and they fought against Xianbei together in the Biansai, and Xiang Ao certainly understood the slogan of the White Horse Yicong.
"Feather kill, formation!" Xiang Ao's face darkened, his eyes stared at the front and shouted, and he rode out first. Seeing this, Dian Wei also shouted recklessly to kill the feather, and followed Xiang Ao. Zhao Yun saw Xiang Ao like this, and then thought of the faintly heard Gongsun Zhan's voice, his heart was also tight, and he ordered righteousness to obey, and rode away with Zhang He at the same time.
"Gongsun Zhan, to descend or not to descend?"
In the past, Gongsun Zhan's silver-white armor was gone. At this time, Gongsun Chan was covered in blood, and dark red blood stains covered his whole body. Staring at Ko Yi who persuaded him to surrender, Gongsun Chan looked back at the four or five hundred white horse servants left behind him, and Gongsun Chan's eyes were gloomy. Especially when he saw the corpses of his own brothers Gongsun Yue, Zou Dan and Shan Jing who were protected by Bai Ma Yicong, Gongsun Zhan's eyes were even more dilated.
"Lord!" Tian Yu, who was also covered in blood, supported Gongsun Zhan again, and said with a worried expression: "The lord must not lose his fighting spirit, the people of Youzhou can't do without the lord." ”
"People?" Gongsun Chan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. Although it is guarding the frontier, although it has also benefited the people, only Gongsun Zan himself knows that the war with Xianbei that is so desperate every year is more for the interests of his own family and the powerful Youzhou family.
Gongsun Zhan slowly raised his head, his face was fierce, and his eyes stared at Lu Yi with hatred and contempt: "Surrender? More than 10,000 comrades died under the butcher's knife, why did you surrender? ”
"The casualties of soldiers and civilians are not the most important in battle!" Koji Yi frowned and continued: "General Gongsun is a famous general in the world, doesn't it make sense? ”
"Haha... What a non-war crime! Gongsun Chan burst out laughing, as if he had touched the wound of the long arrow on his chest, and coughed vigorously: "Ahem... Where righteousness goes, life and death go hand in hand! How can you understand the kindness of our robes! ”
Lu Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly shook his head, it seemed to be a pity, and it seemed that he was helpless: "Since this is the case!" The whole army obeys the order and raises the bow! ”
With the order of Lu Yi, the remaining hundreds of white horse Yicong, Gongsun Zhan, Tian Yu and others did not have any fear, and even looked a little relieved, standing in place, looking at the soldiers and horses of Jizhou, as if waiting for the arrival of arrows.
"Shoot the arrows!" An anxious shout was heard in everyone's ears, followed by the rumbling sound of galloping horses' hooves.
"Bang!" After a loud bang, a black and oppressive arrow rushed towards the center of the battlefield. Tian Yu turned his head to look at Gongsun Zhan, Yan Gang and Guan Jing who were relieved, his eyes showed a very obvious unwillingness, he sighed helplessly, shook his head and looked at the arrows rushing in the sky. Hey? No, why are there two clusters of arrows?
When Tian Yu was surprised, Lu Yi's eyes widened, he looked at the north in fear, and shouted impatiently: "Raise the shield, quickly raise the shield!" ”
Just after Koji Yi shouted, the two clusters of arrows in the opposite direction in Tian Yu's eyes fell into the team of Bai Ma Yi and the team of Jizhou Liyi respectively, and then the continuous popping sound of arrows entering the flesh and the clanging sound of arrows and shields colliding resounded throughout the battlefield. Unlike the prepared silent obedience of the white horse, the thousands of foot soldiers among the soldiers and horses of the koji yi screamed miserably after being shot by arrows.
"Feather kill! Burst! ”
"Righteousness!"
"The sky is clear!"
After a few loud shouts, the elite of the Northern Regions led by Xiang Ao finally appeared on the edge of the battlefield. When the bloody battlefield scene appeared in Xiang Ao's field of vision, Xiang Ao couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and shouted in a deep voice: "There is no forgiveness for killing!" ”
"Kill!" Xiang Ao's momentum on the battlefield is different from ordinary people, and it is very easy to affect the minds of the surrounding soldiers. Under the influence of Xiang Ao's angry mind, whether it was Yu Kill or Zhao Yun's righteous servants, they all had scarlet eyes and rushed towards the screaming Koji Yibu. Compared with the first death of Ko Yi, Xiang Ao also has 800 elite to the boundless Gao Shun trapping camp.
The moment he entered the battlefield, Xiang Ao saw that the hundreds of soldiers standing in front of the formation were similar to those trapped in the camp, so he didn't plan to fight hard. "Divide the formation, strangle!" After giving the order again, Yu killed one into two, bypassed the hundreds of foot soldiers in front of the Koji Yi array, and attacked and killed the rear of the Koji army. Although Zhao Yun who followed closely did not know the military situation ahead, above the command of the cavalry, Zhao Yun did not question Xiang Ao when he rushed over. Seeing Xiang Ao's division, Zhao Yun followed the example, and ordered the righteous to divide the formation, and Zhang He led a division to besiege and kill the Liyi army.
"Lord, lord! It's the champion Hou! Tian Yu turned his head, shook Gongsun Zhan's arm excitedly and said, "It's saved!" ”
"Uh..." Gongsun Chan cracked the corners of his mouth, chuckled and looked at Tian Yu, and let go of some guilt in his heart.
Tian Yushun looked over, but saw Gongsun Zhan's left hand covering his chest, which had already been pierced by arrows, and slowly fell down.
"Lord!" Yan Gang and Guan Jing also discovered the difference between Gongsun Zhan, stepped forward to help Gongsun Zhan from left to right, and shouted in horror with their eyes. Tian Yu burst into tears even more uncontrollably, knelt down, and his hands trembled around the arrows on Gongsun Zhan's chest, not knowing what to do. Behind him, hundreds of white horses and Yicong were equally dead and wounded after the last wave of arrows, and Sun Zhan, who was supporting each other, gathered together and shouted to the lord.
Gongsun Zhan coughed lightly, bright red blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, smiled lightly, looked around at his comrades and said, "I originally thought that everyone would be as difficult to escape death as me today, and I didn't want Fengyuan to come." ”
"Lord, don't speak!" Tian Yu had tears in his eyes, stopped Gongsun Zhan, and then stood up and shouted angrily: "Where is the doctor?" Don't come again, Lao Tzu beheaded the whole family! ”
Tian Yu, who is gentle and elegant on weekdays, was furious, and everyone did not blame it at all, and even many emotional soldiers followed Tian Yu and shed tears. Gongsun Chan smiled with relief, and gently pulled Tian Yu's trouser leg with his right hand, Tian Yu saw the shout in Gongsun Chan's eyes, and quickly squatted down.
"Why is the country so confused today, under such a big war, the voice of the white horse is righteous, where is the medical craftsman!" Gongsun Chan said with a little reproach: "How do I teach Guorang on weekdays? As a general, you want to let your corporal survive, and you can't be swayed by feelings, but remember! ”
"Yu remembers!" Tian Yu tried his best to stop the tears that kept flowing, and replied in a choked voice.
"Just remember!" Gongsun Zhan seemed to be having difficulty breathing, and his face was a little ruddy: "After Fengyuan comes back, you will immediately return to Yuyang in Youzhou and tell Xu'er that in the future, Youzhou will be in charge." If Xu'er thinks that Fengyuan is good, it doesn't hurt to serve Fengyuan with his family, and with my relationship with Fengyuan, Fengyuan will definitely take care of it. ”
"Lord!" Seeing Gongsun Zhan like this, it seemed that he was arranging the aftermath, even veterans such as Yan Gang and Guan Jing couldn't help but shed tears and shouted anxiously.
Gongsun Chan slowly raised his right hand, signaled everyone not to intervene, and then said: "I joined the army at a young age and made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, and my life is enough. But you have followed me for many years, and you have not been able to enjoy some blessings, the regret of my life. ”
"Especially Guorang, who is young and has just won the championship. If you are buried here with me today, my heart will not be at peace under my nine springs. Gongsun Zhan's eyes were earnest, as if he was looking at his own children.
"Ah Jing, Ah Gang, please take care of the continuation!"
Guan Jing and Yan Gang hurriedly grabbed Gongsun Zhan's raised right hand, choked up and replied: "Don't worry, as long as Guan Jing (Yan Gang) still has a breath, he will definitely protect the safety of Gongzi." ”
Gongsun Chan nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, turned his head to look at the corpses of Gongsun Yue, Shan Jing and Zou Dan and said, "Hey... After returning to Youzhou, not only will you have to bury Brother Yue, Adan, and Ajing, but also take care of their children. The endless apologies revealed in Gongsun Zhan's eyes made Yan Gang and Guan Jing feel very distressed.
"Brother Bogui!" Xiang Ao, who found Gongsun Zhan's strange appearance on the battlefield, handed over the command to Dian Wei and Zhang He, and led Zhao Yun back in a hurry.
"Fengyuan!" Gongsun Zhan didn't expect Xiang Ao to put down the battlefield and rush back, shouting a little excitedly, wanting to get up.
Xiang Ao hurriedly stepped forward and squatted down and held Gongsun Zhan. When he saw the long arrow on Gongsun Zhan's chest and the corner of his mouth that kept bleeding, Xiang Ao's eyes sank.
"Fengyuan doesn't have to be sad!" Gongsun Zhan tightly held Xiang Ao's outstretched right hand and said, "Everyone dies, I'm just one step ahead." Although Xiang Ao is not fond of medical skills, he still learned a lot under the persecution of the old Taoist master and Hua Tuo, and Xiang Ao is talented and intelligent, and his medical skills are not comparable to ordinary medical craftsmen. Seeing Gongsun Zhan's appearance, Xiang Ao knew that Gongsun Zhan was now powerless.
"Brother Bogui has any instructions, tell Ao to do it, Ao Ding will do it!" Xiang Ao also clenched Gongsun Zhan's right hand, and said with a solemn and sad face.
Gongsun Chan chuckled and nodded: "When I was young, I killed too much, and now I have to have a son, and I hope Fengyuan will take care of one or two." ”
"Brother Bogui rest assured, Ao will definitely regard it as his own."
"White Horse Yicong is my life's work, and I am unwilling to be removed from the world like this. Today, I will hand over the remaining white horse to Zilong, okay? ”
Zhao Yun on the side was already anxious about Gongsun Zhan's injury, and when he saw Gongsun Chan turn his head to ask himself, seeing Xiang Ao nodding, Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped forward to hold Gongsun Zhan's hand, trembled a little and choked up: "General Bogui rest assured, Zhao Yunsheng is one day, and Bai Ma Yicong is in the first life." ”
However, Gongsun Zhan seemed to be relieved and said: "The world is big, and there are so many princes, there are more than a few." However, only Fengyuaner, who can protect the people under his rule. Then follow Fengyuan in the future! ”
"Perhaps, I was wrong!" After saying that, Gongsun Chan suddenly lost his strength, and slowly closed his eyes as if he was grateful, seemed to regret, and seemed to be remorseful.
"Lord!" Tian Yu, Yan Gang and the others and the rest of the White Horse Yicong all knelt down and shouted miserably.
