Chapter 342: King Gu is coming
The Battle of Dongtou Mountain, the Battle of Songshan, and the Battle of Shizijian 。。。。。。 Yang Xiaoshan fought seven or eight battles in a row, and he didn't get a full night's sleep for three days and three nights. Often just after a battle, ready to rest, but the Qing army touched it again, and could only fight again.
Another battle had just ended, and there were less than twenty people around Yang Xiaoshan, and the wilderness was littered with corpses, some pierced by spears, some hacked to death by broadswords, and some strangled by arms, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.
"Is the puppet East King Yang Yi here? I heard the sound of fighting here just now, it should be around here. "A Qing guerrilla general with a portrait and dozens of soldiers searched everywhere in the pile of corpses, Zeng Guofan's reward order came down, and the person who caught Yang Xiaoshan was rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, and his official position was promoted to three levels. Such a huge reward made the Qing soldiers crazy, this Yang Xiaoshan's head is too valuable, and everyone wants to make this windfall.
Before the guerrilla general could finish speaking, more than a dozen corpses on the ground suddenly jumped up and slashed at the Qing army with a knife. It turned out that Yang Xiaoshan and others were lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, waiting for the enemy to approach, launching a surprise attack, the blade was against the moonlight, slashing left and right, and the Qing army was caught off guard.
The guerrilla general led by Yang Xiaoshan was stabbed to death with a sword, several Qing soldiers next to him were also killed, and the others were so frightened that they cried wolf and turned around and ran. Yang Xiaoshan chased and killed more than 100 meters with his subordinates, then immediately turned around and left, disappearing into the night.
On a mountain beam outside Shishi Town, Wu Ruxiao, who had been hiding in Jurong, led the team here. He just sent someone to send Su Qiaomei and others away a few days ago, and secretly went to the Shanghai Concession. Suddenly learned that there seemed to be a battle outside Tianjing City, and it was likely that Yang Xiaoshan had broken through, so he immediately gathered his troops to find Yang Xiaoshan to join him.
But Yang Xiaoshan's team was scattered, and Wu Ruxiao could only be stationed here first, and dozens of reconnaissance teams were sent to find Yang Xiaoshan's whereabouts.
"King Gu, the reconnaissance team is back." A guard came over to report.
Wu Ruxiao couldn't sit still, and immediately greeted him.
"Any news?" Wu Ruxiao immediately asked without waiting for the reconnaissance captain to enter the house.
"Nope." The scout captain's face was a little painful, and he looked as if he was injured, "I just saved a few injured brothers." ”
Wu Ruxiao nodded, and immediately called the military doctor, "Come and treat the brothers, help them well, lighten up." ”
One reconnaissance team after another came back, but there was still no news of Yang Xiaoshan, Wu Ruxiao's mood was a little heavy, Yang Xiaoshan was the greatest hope of the kingdom of heaven, he must not have any accidents.
"King Gu, who do you see coming?" One of the guards came over happily and reported.
Wu Ruxiao raised his head happily, happy and a little disappointed, it turned out that the person who came was not Yang Xiaoshan, it was the godlord Hong Renji. Hong Renji also came back to Yang Xiaoshan to report Li Xiucheng's situation, but he didn't find Yang Xiaoshan, but he met Wu Ruxiao's people and brought him back.
"What? You haven't found the East King either? Hong Renji was also a little anxious, seeing that there were more and more Qing soldiers around, and this was not a place to stay for a long time, and if he couldn't find the East King, there was a danger of being discovered here, and he was going to move south.
"yes. In this way, Ganwang, you are here to take care of the house, and I will go to the East King. Wu Ruxiao stood up abruptly and slapped his thigh.
Hong Renji hurriedly hugged him, "Your old man is so old, the situation outside is too chaotic, I'll go for this, I'll go find it." ”
Just when the two were arguing, someone suddenly pointed down the mountain and shouted: "Isn't this Zhang Shishuai's old dark horse?" Why didn't you see his team? ”
Everyone raised their eyes, and sure enough, on the path below the mountain, there seemed to be a person lying on the back of Zhang Shishuai's old black horse, walking slowly towards the mountain.
Wu Ruxiao and Hong Renji immediately led the guards to fly down the mountain, and soon arrived at the old black horse's side.
Everyone fixed their eyes and saw that the person on horseback was not the East King Yang Xiaoshan that everyone was looking for.
It turned out that Zhang Shishuai found Yang Xiaoshan, and in order to cover him, Zhang Shishuai gave up his horse to Yang Xiaoshan, who was seriously injured, but he led the team but sacrificed all of them. Although this old dark horse is older, he is very humane, and he runs back with Yang Xiaoshan.
One person and one horse, now they are all exhausted, Yang Xiaoshan is covered in blood, and he can't tell whether it is his own or the enemy's, and the battle robe is also torn like a messy strip of cloth, only the sword is still tightly grasped by Yang Xiaoshan subconsciously, and he seems to be preparing to fight immediately after falling asleep.
"East King!" Wu Ruxiao and Hong Renji immediately surrounded Yang Xiaoshan and helped Yang Xiaoshan off the horse.
Yang Xiaoshan vaguely seemed to hear someone calling him, he tried hard to open his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, his eye sockets were deep, his eyes were in a trance, and he finally squeezed out a few words from his mouth: "Water, water!" ”
"Bring water!" Wu Ruxiao immediately ordered his subordinates.
The water had just been delivered, and before Yang Xiaoshan could drink it, he fainted again.
"Old Wu, Dongwang is afraid that he has lost too much blood, you see that his shoulders, back, waist, and calves are bleeding, you hold him, I will sprinkle him with some gold medicine, and stop the bleeding first." Hong Renji was still careful and discovered the reason for Yang Xiaoshan's fainting.
Everyone carried Yang Xiaoshan into the house with all hands and feet, took off the blood-soaked battle robe, applied medicine to him, and bandaged his wounds.
"King Gu, what should we do now? The team of the auxiliary king Yang Fuqing has arrived in Anhui, and Li Xiucheng was received by his vanguard team, and is taking the young king to Anhui, let's go with him. Hong Renji suggested.
"No, before entering Tianjing, the king of the east explained that as long as he can break through, he must not run inland, but go to the coast. Dongwang explained that if there is no place to go, you can go to Taiwan, and Luo Outline and others can pick us up over there. Wu Ruxiao retorted.
Hong Renji nodded, the king of the east also said this, but now that the situation has changed, this can't be blamed on Li Xiucheng, at this moment of life and death, Yang Fuqing led the troops to rescue, and he could only rely on him, no matter what, the safety of the young king came first.
"Our Xiaodong King has been known as the sky since he started his army, his prediction has never been wrong, he has not woken up now, my old Wu can't violate his arrangement, we have to break through to the coast as planned." Wu Ruxiao's loyalty to Yang Xiaoshan is obviously higher than that of the Young Heavenly King, and Yang Xiaoshan's life is the first in his eyes.
Hong Renji was in a dilemma, after all, the Young Heavenly King was a member of his Hong family, and he had to follow the Young Heavenly King according to his family affection, but his reason told him that Yang Xiaoshan, the king of the East, was the cornerstone of the Kingdom of Heaven, and without him, the Kingdom of Heaven would not be able to make a comeback. Now that Yang Xiaoshan is injured, he must be saved.
Hong Renji thought about it for a while, and finally made up his mind, "Okay, I'll go with you to protect the East King and break out of the siege." ”
Wu Ruxiao happily patted Hong Renji on the shoulder, and then beckoned to his subordinates: "Hurry up and assemble and quickly evacuate this place." ”
Wu Ruxiao and Hong Renji quickly went down the mountain with thousands of people. Coincidentally, the sudden fog was quite powerful, covering everyone to get out of the mountains and mountains within a radius of more than ten miles and advance towards the south.
