Chapter Twenty-Eight: Windfall
Such a fate is clearly obvious. As the city became a sea of fire, the barbarians no longer had the courage to continue attacking Hanshou City.
Led by Shamoke, who supervised the battle behind, the siege force began to retreat in an all-round way, and in my opinion, after such a tragic blow, the siege of Hanshou City must have been completely resolved, plus Shamoke already knew the news that our "reinforcements" were coming, and this time it would definitely retreat hundreds of miles.
In this situation, when the overall situation has been decided, it is fair to say that I no longer want to send troops to intercept and kill these routs. Because no matter who it is, when it comes to the point of frequent death, it will burst out with abilities that are several times or even dozens of times higher than usual. Seeing that these brutes are desperately fleeing back, if I use my little money to stop them at this time, the victory will be certain, but the loss will not be small.
However, it turned out that my scruples were completely unnecessary, not that the barbarians had really collapsed to the point of being slaughtered, but that they were rushing towards the road leading to Wuling from the west. I don't need to look closely at the guy on the horse to know that it must be Zheng Liang's kid, he came quickly, and it was obvious that the target was already locked on Shamoke's body!
As the son of the barbarian king, Shamoke is not only tall and vicious, but also the clothes he wears and the war horse under his crotch are also conspicuously different from ordinary people. At this point, it was impossible for me to let my only brave general go to my death, so I had to turn on my horse and order my soldiers to rush out with me.
Although they are still hungry, my subordinates are after all carefully selected by me from the tens of thousands of defenders in Wuling City. Seeing that the barbarians were in chaos, and they all fled without choosing a different path, of course, they were all in a big morale array, and their blood was boiling with me.
Where did the barbarians think that there would be ambushes on the way to retreat, and suddenly they were even more chaotic. And I deliberately slowed down the speed of the horse after a short rush forward with some hopelessness, after all, the matter of killing the enemy is really a bit difficult for me now, and I don't want to be taken by a panicked brute without knowing it.
Fortunately, the brute army was defeated quickly, and I always remained in the center of the team, and on the other side, Hanshou City was also wide open, and hundreds of soldiers were killed from the city under the leadership of a junior colonel, which accelerated the process of this battle even more.
At this time, I began to care about Zheng Liang's safety, and as soon as he rushed over, he recognized Shamoke and exchanged hands. Although Shamoke said that Gan Ning was sick when he killed Gan Ning, after all, he should not be underestimated. Seeing that although Shamoke was not inferior in martial arts, after all, the situation on the battlefield was extremely unfavorable to him, so he largely fled while fighting.
He was fighting and fleeing, and Zheng Liang followed him while chasing him, and these two people gradually broke away from the main battlefield under the city that was fighting fiercely because they had horses under their crotches. Suddenly, Zheng Liang stabbed with a shot, and he didn't know if Shamoke was annoyed by Zheng Liang's fight or wanted to escape as soon as possible, so he actually threw down his weapon and grabbed Zheng Liang's gun!
Zheng Liang didn't expect Shamoke to suddenly throw down his weapon, and at the moment when the gun head was caught and he was stunned, Shamoke had already roared and dragged Zheng Liang off the horse with the gun!
It stands to reason that although Shamoke should be better than his strength, Zheng Liang is not so bad, and he should be able to stalemate with Shamoke a little. However, Zheng Liang is still young after all, and he lacks experience in facing the enemy, so it is inevitable that he will be stunned for a moment when he is suddenly caught by the other party. And this momentary stunned was enough for Shamoko to drag him off his horse.
When I saw this, my heart was tight, Zheng Liang would definitely not have a good result if he was dragged off the horse, at this time, the horses under the straddles of both sides were running, even if Shamoke had no weapons in his hands now and was in a hurry to leave, Zheng Liang would definitely be seriously injured if he fell down this time.
I opened my mouth to call someone to go over there and rescue Zheng Liang, but as soon as my mouth opened, I didn't make a sound, and something more unexpected happened.
At the moment when Zheng Liang was dragged off the horse, he actually used the force of Shamoke's drag to maintain a head-to-head posture, but this could only ensure that he would not break his head, and he actually kicked his legs hard towards the war horse under Shamoke's seat, and this kick was kicking the side of the horse's belly.
only heard the mournful roar of the war horse under Shamoke's crotch, Zheng Liang took advantage of Shamoke's power to make wisdom in a hurry, in exchange for a war horse that fell to the ground and the two members of the tiger general who also fell not lightly, and it was difficult to stand up for a while.
I hurriedly ordered my soldiers to stop chasing down the barbarian routs, and to follow me to capture Shamoko. I and several other horsemen on horseback quickly arrived at the scene of the traffic accident first.
Although the traffic accident was man-made, I did not want to punish Zheng Liang as the perpetrator at all, on the contrary, he also made a great contribution. There were soldiers who were in a hurry to grab the merit and were beaten out by Shamoko with a wave of his arm while half-sitting, but I was not worried at all, and I couldn't stand up for half an hour after seeing the way he fell. Although he calculated Zheng Liang, Zheng Liang was prepared to fall to the ground compared to him, but he was not prepared at all, even if he had rough skin and thick meat, he really fell lightly.
I sneered and ordered my soldiers to approach slowly and hold him down with their guns and halberds, and then go over and tie him up. Compared to Shana's delicate curves when she was tied up, Shamoko was tied up like a big thick and fat brown bear.
I was still not at ease with this, so I asked the soldiers to tie a few more sticks, and Shamoko shouted in dissatisfaction: "It's too tightly tied! It's good to loosen it a little! I remembered Cao Cao's words when he tied up Lu Bu, so I learned and said: "It doesn't matter if you tie up the tiger!" After speaking, he didn't care about his shouting, and took someone to accept Xie Xian's old man's greeting.
Xie Xian, the old man, bowed to the ground when he saw me this time, I didn't expect his transformation to be so fast, and the previous resentment and prepared ridicule were also suffocated at this time. And after all, it was an old man over half a hundred years old who bowed to me, so I had to hurriedly walk over and help him up.
Xie Xian, who was helped up, looked ashamed, and he said to me: "The adult can lead the army to rescue regardless of the past suspicions, there is a great style of Lin Xiangru to Lian Po in ancient times, and the old man is ashamed to speak, let the adult punish the crime!" When he had finished speaking, he knelt down.
I only knew why his attitude changed so quickly when he said this, and sometimes people with special personalities, once they hit the point that he valued, he would immediately stand by you. This Xie Xian refused me to enter the city because he misunderstood that I abandoned the people of the whole county, and dared to ignore my identity as a guard, at this time, I led the army to rescue me regardless of my previous suspicions, although it only played the role of icing on the cake because of his super defensive ability, but Xie Xian, who only looked at the attitude and did not look at the effect, was actually enough to make him respect me.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly held him to prevent him from kneeling, and said with a smile along his mind to save face for myself: "Actually, you also misunderstood me, and my departure from the county town was also a plan to lure the enemy, and I planned to use me as bait to let the barbarians scatter and break through." Because I heard that Hanshou County was besieged, I came back with this army that served as a decoy to fight with the enemy who was several times more than me, but I didn't expect Xie County to order the city to defend the city, and I knew that I would not come back to do much trouble. ”
There are a lot of jokes in my troubled words, and Xie Xian and the people around him can't hear it. Everyone laughed together, and after all, they had just won a big battle, and the previous festival was over.
My brothers all followed me into the county office, and I didn't worry about others, but Zheng Liang couldn't fall and couldn't ride a horse in a short time, so he asked Ma Jian to take a team of 100 people to take Qing'er and Jiang Xiaoyu who stayed to guard her into the city.
Ma Tan took the order, although the process of this big victory was a little unexpected, but on the whole he still has a lot of credit, looking at his excited face, I smiled in my heart: "No matter how smart the guy is, he will not be unmoved in front of fame and fortune!" ”
Originally, Xie Xian meant to ask me and him to go to the Houya to rest, but Shamoke and his hundreds of subordinates who had not escaped and became prisoners had not yet been released, so Xie Xian and I went to the main hall of the main office. Last time I let Shana go back, I didn't expect the barbarian king to invade without credit, I had the heart to break the prestige of Shamoke above the hall, let him know how powerful I was, so I lined up dozens of strong soldiers in the hall, and the original officials in the county did not use any of them.
I sat in the lobby, and Xie Xian stood respectfully on my right hand, like a master. I was secretly amused in my heart, remembering the embarrassing incident when I first arrived at Hanshou City, and when Shamoko was carried to the bottom of the hall by two strong soldiers and knelt down, I couldn't help laughing when I saw his injured lower body grinning in pain.
