Chapter 147: Fate hangs by a thread
"On the night of the full moon, it is a flash in the pan, and there is no perfect beauty in the world, but there is complete evil."
- "The Book of the White Horse"
The bright moon and green mountains are thousands of miles away and looking north, and the eyelashes are still seeing the flying generals of Hanguan; The sound of the deceased is beautiful when the pot is borrowed, and the drum and horn are sounding and the Huma eagle flag is flying; Take the long sword and remember the majestic posture of the general, pull the white hair and look at the old man is also crazy!
……
Just when Meng Ge was looking at Xia Cheng and scratching his ears and cheeks, a fast horse sent a report of relief.
"Returning to my Khan, the remnants of the enemy army assembled at the west gate of Xia City, but ...... Xia Cheng has not opened the city, it seems that something has changed! ”
"Hah!" Meng Ge couldn't help shouting excitedly, clapping his hands, and secretly said that the gods blessed, the opportunity has come.
"I'm sweating, I'm afraid there will be fraud!" The subordinate reminded.
"Hmph, I'm not afraid of deceit, the city guards haven't sent a single soldier from beginning to end, if we are caught in front of us, another army will kill, I'm afraid we won't be able to stand here, such a good opportunity, we can't grasp it. Nine times out of ten, this summer city has internal discord. Mungo said sharply.
"My subordinates understood." It dawned on the leader.
"Order, attack immediately, and wipe out the remnants of Xia Cheng for me!" Mongo was excited, and shouted with a wicked grin.
The army was ordered, the whole army was on horseback, and the huge war machine was launched again, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves disturbed the souls of the dead in this land!
West Gate of Summer City.
The dying Schrödingguo made his last voice.
"Old Zhou, quickly withdraw!"
After speaking, Xue Dingguo's head turned and he passed out.
Zhou Anmin gritted his teeth with hatred, and his pain was sincere, he knew that if he wasted words with Lu Zhenjiang, he was afraid that the Menghu people would take advantage of the fire to rob, and now he had to evacuate to a safe place quickly, but the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, and if the Menghu people caught up, I am afraid that they would not be able to escape death......
"Evacuate with me!" Zhou Anmin gave an order and began to retreat south with his men and horses. Before leaving, he looked back at Xia Cheng, the head of the city, Lu Zhenjiang smiled proudly, and the smile was chilling.
So, in the wilderness, the remnants of Xia City rushed south like a swarm of ants crossing the border. Fortunately, there were still hundreds of war horses in the remnants of the White Horse Guard, which could carry those seriously injured soldiers, even so, countless lightly injured soldiers on foot still made the march much slower.
Zhou Anmin, who was anxious, looked back from time to time, he was afraid that at this moment, the hideous eagle flag appeared in his eyes.
However, I was afraid of something, and at this moment, the sound of the neighing of war horses was faintly heard.
Zhou Anmin's heart was cold all of a sudden, and he looked back in horror, although he couldn't see the enemy's figure, but the sound of horses' hooves was really heard.
"General, the enemy is catching up!" A sentry rode up quickly, dropped a word, and nodded back to investigate.
What to do? Zhou Anmin asked himself in his heart, people have four legs, and they can't run away from others.
He looked at the team, and saw that some of the lightly wounded soldiers were really unable to support them, and they all collapsed from exhaustion, and they were in agony on the ground. Xu is everyone noticed the sound of rolling horses' hooves, and many people stopped running, standing in place in horror, looking at Zhou Anmin.
Zhou Anmin lowered his head, he didn't dare to look at these soldiers, nor did he dare to respond to their gaze, in this wilderness, he became the last hope of the soldiers, at this moment, he felt that he was out of breath, like carrying a mountain on his back.
The soldiers were waiting for him to speak.
Zhou Anmin bit his lip and raised his head.
"Zuo Wuwei listens to the order, line up!" He turned his horse's head and gave a loud order.
The soldiers of the left guard quickly began to line up.
"General, no!" The generals of Bai Mawei and Right Wuwei ran forward one after another and said to Zhou Anmin.
"You hurry up and withdraw with the people of the headquarters, and the old man will come to the palace." Zhou Anmin's eyes had lost their previous brilliance, he looked at the two generals, and said lost.
"General! After we come to the temple, you can take your brothers and leave! ”
"General! I beg you! ”
The two generals knelt down one after another.
"What nonsense? This is a military order! Hurry up and withdraw with General Xue! Zhou Anmin shouted.
The two generals wept bitterly and kowtowed.
"General...... Take care! The last generals will definitely avenge the generals! ”
Get up, salute, turn around, and leave, in Zhou Anmin's eyes, it seems to have become slow motion.
……
The two generals organized the White Horse Guard and the Right Guard, totaling about 10,000 men, and began to march southward.
……
Zuo Wuwei also completed the formation, and Zhou Anmin still rode his horse and dangled in front of the formation.
It was getting late, and the fires in the distant villages were fading away, and pesticides were rising......
Finally, the Monhu cavalry came into view.
Zhou Anmin tightly held the sword in his hand.
"Pikemen prepare!"
At this moment, there are only about 10,000 left in the left guards, in the previous battle, the spear phalanx suffered heavy losses, at this moment, it is no longer possible to form a spear array, and can only form a spear and shield defense line by sword and shield hands and the remaining pikemen, to barely resist the charge of the cavalry, but where can the weak defense line block the thunderous blow of the 20,000 iron cavalry?
Zhou Anmin understands that he can only do his best, and he can delay it for as long as he can.
……
Mungo saw Zuo Wuwei's line early.
"Humph! Bite off more than one can chew! He couldn't help but scoff and snorted coldly.
"I'm Khan, the enemy's defense line is weak, and our army can directly rush and kill." The leader followed closely behind Mongo, thinking that he couldn't do it again when he was killed by others, otherwise, he would have ten heads, and he would probably be killed.
Mungo looked left and right, the westernmost side was the ruins of the village, and the east side was the summer city, the battlefield was not wide, and the idea of bypassing it seemed that it was no longer possible.
"None of them will be left!" Mongo was so angry that the army in front of him almost cost him his life.
"Yes, I Khan!" The leader became excited, turned his horse's head, and led his troops to the left flank of the left guard, and raised his scimitar.
"Meet the enemy!" Zhou Anmin retreated into the formation.
The sword and shield bearer took three steps forward, and the shield was heavily clung to the ground, and the pikemen put their spears on their shields, and they were not afraid of the swarming enemy, they knew what they were going to do, what they were doing it for, after all, not all of them did not think of their comrades.
……
It's like a stone breaking the calm water, and the waves are rising!
The spears were dressed in several Menghu soldiers, dying.
The shield was shattered by the impact.
The weak front broke through.
As merciless as the wind and clouds.
Zhou Anmin looked at the soldiers on the ground who were wailing in pain and their flesh and blood were blurred, and his heart was full of guilt.
The surviving soldiers gathered around him, clutching their weapons, staring at the enemy as they turned around and prepared to charge again.
"How's the Ironclad Battalion?"
"Report to the general, more than half of the losses are lost, and I can't afford to fight again!"
"Oh......" Zhou Anmin lost his mind.
"General, the enemy is coming!" A soldier exclaimed.
Zhou Anmin looked at the soldier who spoke.
"What are you so excited about?"
"It is the glory of a pawn like me to be able to die on the battlefield with the general."
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"We're not afraid! After following the general for so many years, his life has long been handed over to heaven. ”
Zhou Anmin looked at the soldiers around him who had followed him for many years, and was speechless for a while.
Looking around, he cried, for the first time in his life!
When the soldiers heard the sighs, they all looked sideways, and when they saw the general crying, their hearts sank, and their expressions became gloomy.
"How can you say that you have no clothes, you are in the same robe with your son, Wang Yuxingshi, cultivate my spear!"
Zhou Anmin read it with tears, but he never thought that in the end, it was not a few brothers who had shared hardships with him, but these nobodies whose names he couldn't even name, sad and lamentable!
The battlefield is ruthless, and it is always your life and death.
In the distance, there was a burst of smoke, and the sky was full of white sun.
In an instant, the cold light flashed, and the living life could only be turned into the voice of the dream of no one else, their ambition was not rewarded, and I did not know who would raise the sword and twist their hair, and be angry for them.
Only this Emperor Tianhou land, remember, there was once such a group of people here, who fought bravely and fought to the death.
The wind passes without a trace!
The general stood tall with his sword, and in front of him, Mungo looked down on him on his horse, and behind him were rows of Menghu cavalry murderous.
The armor on his body had long been torn, his face was covered with blood, and his helmet had been knocked off at some point, but he remembered that for a moment, he was standing here alone.
The general laughed, as if he remembered something happy, and wanted to see the three thousand miles of rivers and mountains in his homeland, but it was a pity that Huafa was born early, and Hu Ma was not finished......
In his mind, Luo Jingliang ...... Guo Qingshan...... Yao Wenjun...... Xue Dingguo...... Faces flashed and smiled at him.
"Do you have any last words? I, Mongo, admire warriors like you and your men. Mungo said on horseback with a serious face.
Zhou Anmin put away his smile and raised his head suddenly, his eyes were as sharp as lightning, startling Meng Ge, and the Menghu soldiers drew their swords one after another!
……
"I am the commander of Zuo Wuwei under the command of Luo Jingliang, the general of the Zhu State, Zhou Anmin! Kill the thief by order! Don't win, don't pay! ”
……
Raise your head to the sky and roar, and be fierce!
Mongo was stunned.
Long.
Meng Ge turned his horse's head and turned his back to Zhou Anmin to leave, he slowly raised his hand and signaled to move.
A leader stepped forward, glared at Zhou Anmin viciously, and raised his scimitar.
Zhou Anmin slowly closed his eyes, he had no regrets, even today.
Knife ......
Knife......
suddenly
Sou!
A cloud-piercing arrow is coming through the sky! In the middle of the neck of the little leader of Menghu, an arrow shot through it impartially, and blood gushed out in an instant, and the scene was unbearable.
The Menghu people were stunned and panicked, searching for the source of the arrows.
Mongo was tightly guarded, unclear. I secretly thought, could it be that the people in the city came out? No way......
……
In the ruined villages in the distance, rows and rows of soldiers slowly walked out......
The first one, stepping on the broken wall with one foot, bent his bow and arrows.
Behind him, a flag flutters high!
