Chapter 345: Ambush and Siege
"Taishi, Taishi. What's wrong with you? Half an hour after the breakthrough, a Qianhu general of the Tianwan Imperial Court, looked at Zou Pusheng, the Taishi of Tianwan who was absent-minded and was about to be pulled down by the team in front of him, and he couldn't help but ask him a question with concern.
"Well, I'm fine. Just a little distracted. By the way, at our speed, we can rush to Huangzhou in one day, right? Zou Pusheng raised his head when he heard the general's question. Then he couldn't help asking.
However, for this, the thousand-household general Zuo also replied at the first time: "Yes, Taishi." At our current speed, we will definitely be able to rush to Huangzhou in one day. ”
"Yes, that's good." He squeezed out a smile on his face, "As long as we get to Huangzhou, everything will be fine." Zou Pusheng said this.
However, for his words, the reaction of the thousand generals was very cold. just nodded "En", and then said nothing.
But in this regard, Zou Pusheng was not surprised and angry. Because of that, he doesn't even believe it now.
No way, in the past six months, a series of failures have hit them too hard. Thinking back to years ago, when they were victorious, what a majestic it was.
The sword pointed to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but in just three months, it was connected to Hangzhou, Huzhou, Changzhou, Jiangyin, Jingkou, Jiangning and other important towns in the world, and the soldiers pointed directly at Jinling City. At that time, the essence of the southern rivers and mountains could be all owned by them. The heroes of the righteous army in the world also regard their Tianwan Dynasty as the leader of the righteous army in the world.
But the end result ...... But on the contrary, 'its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden'. At that time, although he captured the ancient city of Hangzhou, it was only half a month's effort. The city of Hangzhou was also recaptured by the Yuanmeng officers and soldiers from his teacher.
After that, Huzhou, Changzhou, Jiangyin, Jingkou, and Jiangning, which they paid countless blood to get, were recovered by the Yuan and Mongolian courts one after another. And now, it really responds to the saying that feng shui takes turns.
Qishui City, the capital of their heavenly court, fell into the hands of the Yuanmeng Tartars like this. Therefore, under such a series of blows, it is naturally impossible to say that there is no despair in the heart.
Moreover, deep down, Zou Pusheng couldn't help but worry about Ni Wenjun, the Marshal of Huangzhou, who guarded Huangzhou.
Although Ni Wenjun is his fellow villager of Zou Pusheng, he was even picked up by his teacher Peng Yingyu. But just look at this guy's performance these days, since the Yuanmeng Tartars made a decision to eliminate their Tianwan Imperial Court, he and his teacher Peng Yingyu have also been frustrated again and again under the attack of the Yuanmeng Tartars.
As the marshal of Huangzhou, Ni Wenjun, who controls tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Huangzhou alone, will naturally inevitably have some other ideas.
You must know that Huanggang City, Huangzhou, which he Ni Wenjun guarded, is only a day and a half away from Qishui, the capital of Tianwan Kingdom.
Although it is said that Huanggang City and Wuchang, which was heavily guarded by the Yuan and Mongolian courts, are across the river. But Ni Wenjun, who is a minister, can't use this as an excuse, just to support 1,000 soldiers and horses to the 'national capital' Qishui!
The capital of the country was besieged by the enemy, but the general of the border army, who was only more than 100 miles away from the capital, found an excuse to guard the frontier, and then watched the capital of the country be broken by the enemy. If such a general can be loyal, then it is really a sow that will go up the tree.
However, although Zou Pusheng is worried about this matter now, he is not without confidence in this matter.
One is because his master Peng Yingyu is still alive. The second is because his hometown of Zou Pusheng is in Macheng, Huangzhou.
Therefore, even if Ni Wenjun has two hearts, as long as he and his master are still there. So in the case of holding the big archway of Xu Shouhui, Ni Wenjun himself resolutely did not dare to betray.
However, I don't know why, at this time, Zou Pusheng always had a feeling that something was wrong.
Because he had been a monk for a long time before the uprising, he was imperceptibly influenced by his ears and eyes, although Zou Pusheng did not believe in gods and Buddhas, but he was extremely superstitious about ominous premonitions and the like.
Therefore, after always feeling that something bad was about to happen, Zou Pusheng rolled his eyes, looked at the Qianhu general who he had never known behind him, and couldn't help but smile and asked: "I see that my brother is very good, but I don't know my brother's surname?" ”
"If you go back to Taishi, the last general will have a cheap surname Han, and a single name is the word 'Tao'." was asked by Zou Pusheng for his name, and this thousand-household general couldn't help but feel very honored. Therefore, he happily replied to Zou Pusheng.
And Zou Pusheng himself heard his words, with a slight smile on his face, and couldn't help but say: "Han Tao, good name." I look at General Han's life, after this great tribulation, General Han will soar, it must not be far away! ”
After all, he was born in the White Lotus Sect, and he fooled people and other tricks, so Zou Pusheng was naturally perfect in using them.
Therefore, the two had only been talking for a quarter of an hour, and the general named Han Tao couldn't help but unconsciously have a great affection for Zou Pusheng, a corporal who could be courteous.
In such a situation, Zou Pusheng naturally knew the details of Han Tao very easily. And I know more that Han Tao still has more than 300 soldiers and horses in his hands now.
There are only more than 300 soldiers and horses, if it is placed in normal times, Zou Pusheng, who is the master of Tianwan, is naturally disdainful.
But at this time, when he Zou Pusheng was only able to control six or seven hundred people, three hundred soldiers and horses would be extremely important.
Therefore, after realizing that Han Tao was of greater value to him, Zou Pusheng couldn't help but feel three points of enthusiasm for Han Tao, a little person whose name he had never even heard of in the past.
So much so that Han Tao, who had never felt what 'Corporal Lixian' was, was stunned by Zou Pusheng after a while.
Even under the lure of Zou Pusheng's blank checks one after another, he seemed to regard Zou Pusheng as his Bole.
"I, Han Tao, often hear people talk about the name of the Taishi. People say that you are a rare heroic husband in the world, and when I see it today, I really admire the last general. Therefore, the last general is here, and I can't help but have a reluctant request, and I hope that you can fulfill it. ”
The two had only been talking for a quarter of an hour, and Han Tao, who didn't know a few big characters except for his own name, was completely fooled by Zou Pusheng, a super god. So in the face of Zou Pusheng, he couldn't help but say this suddenly.
"The general has something to do, and just say it. The general and I hit it off at first sight, as long as I Zou Pusheng can do it, I will definitely not refuse! Suddenly hearing Han Tao say this, Zou Pusheng's eyes rolled. He was already mixed with a human essence, so he naturally guessed a little bit about what Han Tao was thinking.
So after Han Tao's words fell, he also patted his chest and made such a guarantee to Han Tao at the first time.
At this time, for his bold righteousness, Han Tao himself was naturally very moved. Therefore, after Zou Pusheng made a guarantee meeting, Han Tao couldn't help but clasp his fists at Zou Pusheng and said: "Don't hide it from the Taishi, since the city was broken, the last general is really terrified in his heart. ”
"It wasn't until the last general met you, Taishi, that my heart settled down a little. Therefore, the last general hopes that he can follow you in the future and do some things for you. ”
Sure enough, when he encountered a cunning fox like Zou Pusheng and a brainless rabbit like Han Tao, he couldn't help but jump into the trap after being fooled by him in a few words.
And for this, Zou Pusheng's heart was extremely happy. But when the initiative between the two was completely in the hands of Zou Pusheng, the fearless Zou Pusheng couldn't help but play the trick of wanting to catch and indulge.
"Why did the general say this. I look at the general, the dragon and the phoenix among people. His phoenix soaring is just a matter of course. And I, Zou Pusheng, although I am a prince, but when it comes to skills, there are many people in the court who are far better than me. Why does the general follow me if he does not live in good wood? ”
Zou Pusheng said this, with a reserved look, but it really made people unable to see what he was thinking.
But for the vast majority of people, he just eats this set. Therefore, after Zou Pusheng said this, Han Tao couldn't help but bow and pray again: "The last general knows that this matter is really abrupt for the last general." However, please rest assured that he will serve the Taishi in the last day, and he will be loyal. ”
"The last general will swear by this. If there is a lie, it should be rejected by man and God. I only ask you, Master, to understand the mind of the last general! When Han Tao said this, he couldn't help but prepare to turn over and dismount and bow down to Zou Pusheng.
However, in this regard, Zou Pusheng did not let him kneel. But when he was about to kneel, he hurriedly lifted him up.
"Okay, general, if you say this, then I, Zou Pusheng, will not say anything anymore. From now on, if the general does not live up to me, I Zou Pu will not live up to the general. Zou Pusheng held Han Tao's shoulder, saying so, and his face was also sincere.
However, at this time, loud trumpets and war drums came from all directions.
"Thief !!" The nightmarish voice sounded again. Hearing such a voice, Zou Pusheng and Han Tao looked at each other, but their eyes couldn't help but be full of horror.
"Tartar, here comes Tartar. Quick, get on board! After reacting quickly, Zou Pusheng couldn't help roaring, and turned over on the war horse as soon as possible.
And when he turned over and rode the war horse, the sound of horses' hooves like war drums couldn't help but reach his ears.
"Oh no, we've got a plan, the Tartars have ambushes, and the Tartars have ambushes. Run, run! Just when everyone was terrified, I don't know which bastard howled like this. So much so that Zou Pusheng had just mounted his horse, and before he even saw the shadow of the enemy, the more than 5,000 people and horses were scattered in a daze.
"Damn bastards, damn bastards!" Seeing this scene, the extremely angry Zou Pusheng couldn't help but scold again and again.
But after the angry scolding, he himself knew that they were now gone.
So at such a juncture, Zou Pusheng couldn't care about anything else. Listening to the voice, they knew that the Tartars had ambushed them with a large number of elite horsemen.
In their current state, they are facing such an enemy. If you want to save your own life, there should be no other way than to run faster than your own people.
So after he came to his senses, Zou Pusheng couldn't care about his master and Xu Shouhui, the son of heaven.
Anyway, these people are protected, and there is no need for him to help now. Therefore, looking at Han Tao beside him and the two generals who had always been by his side and loyal to him, he couldn't help but shout angrily: "Go, follow me and continue to run in the direction of Huangzhou." Now we are the closest to Huangzhou, as long as we can get to Huangzhou, our lives will be saved. ”
"It's Taishi, we understand." Regarding Zou Pusheng's arrangement, Han Tao and others were also busy agreeing.
Then these people couldn't help but run in the direction of Huangzhou with the men and horses under their tents, regardless of the others.
"There were thieves here who tried to escape, but the brethren stopped them. The time has come for us to make a difference, so don't let them run. "This group of ambush soldiers is naturally the soldiers and horses led by the old man Zuo Cheng of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Therefore, this army of soldiers and horses is to wipe out Peng Yingyu and them, so in such a situation, how can they not notice Zou Pusheng and others who want to break through and escape.
And what made Zou Pusheng feel painful was that when he fled, there were eight or nine hundred people guarding him before and after. So much so that the Yuanmeng court naturally regarded him as a big fish, and the soldiers and horses were completely biting him.
"Surround them quickly, the prime minister has a life, and he can't let go of a thief this time." The ambush soldiers of the Yuanmeng Imperial Court were full of 10,000 horses, which could be said to be far beyond the defeated generals of the Tianwan Imperial Court in terms of troops. Therefore, when they felt that Zou Pusheng was a big fish, the men and horses who pursued him Zou Pusheng before and after couldn't help but reach more than 3,000 people.
"Damn, God will kill me, God will kill me!" was attacked by three thousand elite horsemen, where could Zou Pusheng escape for a while.
So when the soldiers around him fell to the ground one after another like cutting wheat, Zou Pusheng, who had fewer and fewer guards beside him, couldn't help but despair.
But it was precisely at this time, when the encirclement of the officers and soldiers was about to be formed, that a loud roar from the rear could not help but save him.
"Quick, we've found Peng Yingyu. Hurry up and arrest Peng Yingyu, don't let him escape, don't let him escape! ”
"What, Master was also discovered!" In this regard, Zou Pusheng was also shocked in his heart.
However, when the officers and soldiers besieging him heard this, they thought that Zou Pusheng was a bait, so they couldn't help but roar, and most of them left here and killed Peng Yingyu.
Seeing this scene, Zou Pusheng gritted his teeth, glanced back at the rear, which had been completely surrounded by officers and soldiers, and looked at the survival of few enemies in front of him. He couldn't help gritting his teeth and roaring: "Let's go, let's go!" ”
