Chapter 326: Xu Rong Designs the Thief Exterminator (2)
Under the leadership of Xu Rong, 3,000 elite soldiers turned around and fled, countless people lost their armor and abandoned their armor, and the handsome flag was burned and trampled under their feet.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yi knew that the general trend had gone, and what should happen if he died on the battlefield, so he could only follow Xu Rong's troops to flee in the direction of Jincheng.
At this time, the thief will see that he has won, and he can't help laughing and shouting, "It turned out to be a waste of the outside powerhouse, and I have accompanied you for more than 20 moves, I knew that I used real kung fu at the beginning, why bother with this move" After saying that, he raised the knife in his hand and shouted, "Rush me, you must not ask them to flee back to the city, and I will be completely annihilated outside the city!" ”。
Five thousand thieves rushed up like a tide, and under the leadership of the deputy general, they rushed towards Xu Rong's defeated soldiers, all like wolves and tigers, and the thieves were like this, the more smooth the wind and water, the more brave and good at fighting, that kind of ruthlessness broke out, even the elite of the Great Khan did not dare to touch its edge.
"It turned out to be really a waste" on the hillside, the pioneer officer of Longxi saw such a scene, and said to the generals on the side, "Give me two teams of troops, and successively encircle the enemy soldiers, and never let them enter the city~~~ Hmph, as long as the enemy general is killed, Jincheng can be broken, and it really takes no effort to come."
With this order, the vanguard army poured down from the top of the hillside, and the 10,000 soldiers rushed towards Jincheng in two different directions, east and west, and the vanguard officers on the hillside showed a proud look on their faces.
"Hurry back to the city, the enemy soldiers are about to catch up~~~ Hurry up~~~ You you~~~ Hurry up~~~" Chen Yi was anxious, although the horse under his crotch was running fast, but after all, Xu Rong's troops only had two legs, and they were shrouded in the atmosphere of defeat.
But after all, his strength alone is limited, no matter how loud he shouts, he can't make the soldiers go up half a minute, and the enemy soldiers behind him are about to chase after him, so he immediately turned his heart sideways, and shouted angrily, "If you are not afraid of death, follow me to block the enemy soldiers, and tell most of the men and horses to enter the city as soon as possible."
The gates were still open, as if they were preparing for the return of the crowd, and this was the target of the enemy soldiers, and it would be a perfect surprise attack to storm the city before the gates were closed.
The thief general who rushed to the front laughed, "Give me a rush, the city gate is close at hand, the enemy general has not entered the city yet, they will not close the city gate~~~".
Before he finished speaking, he heard a rattling sound at the city gate, and the huge city gate slowly closed under the eyelids of everyone.
"Don't close the door!! There are still soldiers who didn't go in~~" Chen Yi was shocked, the city gate was closed, which was equivalent to sentencing them to death, in the face of several times the enemy army, even if it was impossible to break through" Who told you to close the door~~ This group of bastards~~~" Chen Yi shouted and scolded, but it didn't have any effect, after the city gate was closed, the suspension bridge across the moat was slowly raised, and the last glimmer of hope was shattered Chen Yi was at a loss, and his eyes stopped in place.
At this moment, a general suddenly rushed to his side, shouting in his ear, "Keep running for me~~Follow me~~" After that, he pulled Chen Yi's reins and fled towards the northeast of Jincheng.
Suddenly woke up, and saw that the person who came was Xu Rong, Chen Yi was angry, and couldn't help scolding, "Good you Xu Rong, don't listen to my advice, bury my Han soldiers, you are innocent of death."
Xu Rong turned around while running, smiled and said, "General Chen, your performance is good, it is completely beyond my expectations~~~ Don't worry, I can't die."
"You ~~~ bastard ~~~".
"Hahahaha~~~ I'm just a bastard~~~ Didn't you come with me too, hahaha~~~ We're all bastards~~~" Xu Rong let out a long laugh, rode his horse and galloped, and fled straight down the city wall towards the northeast.
The soldiers behind him followed, and at this time, Chen Yi suddenly realized that for some reason, those soldiers who were listless and had a sad face just now were as radiant as spring at this moment, full of energy, and their faces were full of excitement, and they were a little bit like people who had suffered a defeat, as if it was not themselves who were fleeing for their lives now, but the enemy army chasing behind them, and the speed of these soldiers had increased several times, and they immediately threw off the pursuers behind them.
"You ~~ If you have this kind of speed just now, why can't you enter the city~~~Alas~~~ I'm really angry~~" Chen Yi was excited, at this time, although all the soldiers were fierce, but the general trend had gone, how could there be room for reversal, but he couldn't say it, because this would affect morale and affect the vitality that had just been rejuvenated, so he could only grit his teeth and follow Xu Rong and run forward.
"Hahahaha~~~ This group of mourning dogs, even the defenders in the city have betrayed them, chase me, I must capture the Han army guards alive, I want to see what this person's face looks like at this moment~~~" The vanguard officer was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately ordered the two armies to speed up and pass through both sides of the city gate, wanting to go around the city to intercept Xu Rong.
At this time, Xu Rong was still followed by the five thousand thieves, desperately chasing after him from afar, just like a dog that saw a bone and refused to let go.
In this way, the two sides pursued one after the other, and the other two teams of men and horses also divided up and prepared to intercept and kill, and fled for a whole hour, and finally when they were about to surround Xu Rong in the circle, suddenly Xu Rong fled in disguise towards the northeast and west.
"General, no~~~ over there~~~".
Chen Yi hadn't finished speaking, only to see Xu Rong turn around and smile and say, "Yang Shui~~~Hehe~~~~ I know, General Chen, your performance today is very satisfactory to me, in order to reward you~~~ This merit ~~~ I will share half of you~~" Chaoyang Shui, who didn't look back, ran away.
"Crazy~~~You madman~~~ Everyone will be drowned~~~ Now is the season when the water rises~~You~~~" No matter how Chen Yi scolded, Xu Rong seemed to be unable to hear it, and still led the people of the headquarters to run forward.
After a while, I finally saw the Yangshui River that Chen Yi said, this river is a tributary of the Yellow River, although it is a tributary, but the river surface is also seventeen or eighteen zhang wide, and the river at this time is turbulent, if you want to cross the river, there is no boat is wishful thinking.
But when he came to the river, Chen Yi was surprised, the water in the river was not waist-deep, and the water surface was calm, only light water lines, and there was still the usual turbulent appearance, Chen Yi couldn't help but be stunned.
"General Chen, don't look at it, we're going to cross the river."
"Crossing the river ~~~ but ~~~".
"There's nothing but~~ Hurry up, listen to me to ensure that you won't die" Xu Rong's face was straight, and he jumped down first, leading the horse in one hand and the gun in the other, wading through the river.
Chen Yi saw a slight understanding in his eyes, but without knowing the truth, he had to bite the bullet and jump into the river with Xu Rong.
After the two of them went into the water, the soldiers behind them also jumped down one by one, and after a while, all 3,000 people went into the water, but although there were many people, they were not crowded at all, which showed the breadth of the river.
They had not gone far when they heard the pursuers approaching behind them, and before long they had already reached the river, and the vanguard officer had gathered with them at this time, and they knew of course that there was a great river here, and that they could not have crossed it if they fled in such a hurry, according to their thoughts.
"General, they're going to swim over~~hahaha~~~Hey~~ No, why is this river so shallow, it shouldn't be like this at this time?"
"Hehehe~~~ I see~~~ Do you want to hide such a little trick from me?" The pioneer officer said with a sneer.
"General, what's going on?".
"Humph! It must be this person who wants to trick me into waiting here, and then cross the river first, and when our army crosses the water to pursue, release water upstream to flood me, I underestimate this person~~~ It's a pity~~ Although this plan is wonderful, he miscalculated the speed of our pursuit~~~Hmph~~ He has no time to cross the river~~ I chased after them and slaughtered them, leaving only the city guard."
"Yes! Walk you!! The deputy general let out a long roar, and the figure had already risen into the air, and the person turned in the air and fell into the river, "pop~~" The figure stood up just above the water and waist, and said with a smile, "Good water~~ Come down and cool down."
"Plop plop ~~ bla blah bla
"Stinky boys, if you're comfortable enough, let me hurry up and get down to business, if I can't catch that guard, I'll all be punished according to military law when I go back!" The pioneer officer on the shore let out a loud shout and scolded half-seriously and half-jokingly.
He didn't like jumping into the river to cool off, but because of his identity, he couldn't indulge like an ordinary soldier, and even if he didn't have a face, he couldn't call himself like them, otherwise how to convince the people in the future, he could only resist the restlessness in his heart, and he could only tell them to do it as soon as possible.
"It's the general, we will definitely not disappoint you~~~Hahaha~~~ It's so happy, I didn't expect to be able to swim when I was fighting, and I would be able to do this in the future, how good it would be."
The thieves were like an outing, talking and laughing and chasing forward, the river was so wide, it took a lot of time for them to want to go over, but there were a lot of good water on their side, and it was not easy to catch up with them, so the two sides started a pursuit in the river, but the difference was that their mood was different.
"Taishou, let's speed up, they're going to catch up, if you want to attack with water, we have to go ashore first~~~."
"Oh~~ You can also see that I am going to attack with water?".
"Such an obvious thing, if I can't see it, are I still worthy of serving in the army~~~ But the speed of the enemy army seems to be faster than ours."
"Hehehehe~~~ It doesn't matter, I just want them to be faster than us" Xu Rong responded to Chen Yi with a smile.
Nine times out of ten, the thieves behind him jumped into the river and chased, there was not much time, Xu Rong's troops had already crossed the middle of the river, and the thieves were also close behind, and they were about to reach the center of the river.
At this moment, Xu Rong took out a ringing arrow from his arms and released it towards the sky, only to hear a 'squeak', a sharp sound crossed the sky and disappeared into the air.
