Chapter 42 Destiny is a line

Although the speed of the war horse is not slow, it is still a little slower than the ship, and it is not as straight as the waterway, so Gao Huaide has just entered the village, and Yang Lian has already fought with the assassins, no one expected that there would be so many assassins, and they made it clear that this was an interception, not an assassination.

Gao Huaide just entered the village, and saw that the people in the village were looking at him with fear, after all, in this era, the soldier is king, even if you have money and power, you can't withstand the military power, some people are considering, should you immediately notify the village chief, let him come to see what happened, attracted so many cavalry?

Without waiting for the people to go to tell him, Gao Huaide had already led his troops into the village, and Cui Ran smiled on the side: "General Gao, this village is quite big, and there are a few brothels in it, and the appearance is good, is General Gao interested?" As he spoke, he had a squinting expression.

Gao Huaide shook his head, although he said that he was also lustful, but his father Gao Xingzhou had already taught him that as a military general, he should not be overly obsessed with women, Gao Huaide is a filial son, so he will naturally listen to his father's opinion, and he is not interested in Cui Ran's temptation at all, so he immediately refused.

Cui Ran glanced at Gao Huaide with some surprise, this person is a little different from ordinary people, and it seems that he has almost no shortcomings except for alcoholism. Of course, the time is short, and it may be because Cui Ran didn't find it.

Gao Huaide didn't notice Cui Ran's expression, he rode his horse forward, thirsty and wanted to get some wine to quench his thirst. Behind him, more than a thousand cavalry roared like a long dragon fish. After walking about 100 steps, there were people running wildly on the streets, and some people were shouting something.

Gao Huaide was a little surprised, the words shouted by these people were all dialects, with strong local characteristics, and they shouted quickly, Gao Huaide really didn't understand. couldn't help but glance at Cui Ran and said, "These people are in a hurry, what happened?" ”

Cui Ran frowned and said, "It seems that something big has happened in front, and someone is fighting." ”

Gao Huaide sighed in his heart, feeling that something was wrong, he lifted the reins, and was about to rush over to take a look, at this moment, he felt that the wind behind his ears was rising, and he didn't have time to turn back, Gao Huaide hurriedly dodged forward, his head was tightly attached to the horse's neck, and the wind whistled over his head, followed by the shouts and exclamations of people.

Several cavalrymen behind him were Gao Huaide's henchmen, and when they saw Cui Ran suddenly pull out his blade and slash towards his own general, although he didn't understand, someone reacted, immediately pulled out his blade, and rushed forward with a shout. Cui didn't do it, and more than a dozen soldiers he brought also did it at the same time, and several Han soldiers were caught off guard and were immediately cut off their horses.

Gao Huaide escaped with his life, took out a spear from the back of the horse, glanced back at Cui Bu, and shouted: "Cui Bu, what do you mean by this?" ”

Cui Otherwise, he didn't say much to him, sneered, and slashed his knife to kill, and the people he brought also pounced. Gao Huaide's prestige has been famous since the previous dynasty, Gao Huaide's marksmanship is outstanding, his grandfather is the first gun in the world, Gao Huaide is also brilliant with guns, so Cui Otherwise dare not be careless.

Several people rushed towards Gao Huaide like wolves, and Gao Huaide danced with the spear in his hand, fighting with everyone without fear. At this moment, in the ears, the screams of countless people sounded, and the houses on both sides of the street suddenly poured out countless soldiers with bows and arrows in their hands, and they pulled the bowstrings in their hands almost at the same time, and the distance was close, and the matter came suddenly, and the Janissaries in the rear did not know what was happening, and suddenly dozens of people were injured and fell off their horses, and this casualty was still rapidly expanding.

The Praetorian Guards were suddenly attacked, and without warning beforehand, and immediately became a mess, and many people who had drunk too much last night were even more stunned, and did not react at all, and then they were shot and fell to the ground.

Gao Huaide was shocked, and after wielding his spear to force the two back, he shouted: "Calm down! Calm down, don't mess around! ”

Before the words were finished, Cui Ran had already raised his knife and slashed and went straight to Gao Huaide, and the other two people rushed to kill one left and one right, although Gao Huaide was brave and bold, he didn't dare to slack off, and quickly concentrated and fought with everyone, his own soldiers fought hard, wanting to rescue the boss, but were blocked by Cui Otherwise's subordinates.

After a few rounds of arrows, the ambush had killed at least 200 of the Praetorian Guards, and after paying a lot of casualties, the Praetorian Guards finally reacted and began to counterattack under the leadership of the generals of each team. However, such a counterattack obviously had little effect, and the ambush soldiers relied on the walls of the houses and hid in them to shoot arrows. If the Praetorian Guards wanted to drive them away and kill them, they had to go over the wall first. But for the cavalry, this is undoubtedly a trench, and it is difficult to overcome.

For this reason, the cavalry had to abandon their horses, dismounted and fought, and the teams, led by the fire commander, slaughtered the vile ambushers. The doors of the houses had been blocked and it was difficult to open, and the Praetorian Guard soldiers crashed half-loudly, paying more than a dozen casualties, but still had no effect.

"With a bow and arrows, with a bow and arrows!" A reacting general Yu Hou said.

Several fire commanders reacted, immediately took out bows and arrows to counterattack, under the counterattack of the Praetorian Guard, the attack of the ambush slowed down, the Praetorian Guard soldiers relied on the large number of people, began to throw into the house, although there was no accuracy, but the overwhelming arrow feathers came, if not dodged in time, it would inevitably be shot into a hornet's nest, the ambush soldiers retreated, but there were still a few people killed by arrows.

The Praetorian Guards were unable to break through the gate, so they used their backs as a springboard to let the robe Ze go over the wall, one person crossed, and then many more people climbed over the wall, brandishing their blades and running towards the ambush. Seeing the strength of the Praetorian Guards, the ambush soldiers fled one after another. The Praetorian Guard soldiers pursued all the way, and the two sides circled each other, ambushing and fighting.

Cui Otherwise, with his henchmen, he attacked Gao Huaide, hoping to kill him in the shortest possible time, if Gao Huaide could be killed, things would be much easier. But Gao Huaide was very brave, and he couldn't succeed for a while.

When he was fighting here, Yang Lian's side was also in a very dangerous time, after all, Tang Bing had few people, although he reacted to the sudden attack at the first time, but there were too many of these people, one died, and the other pounced, not caring about his life at all.

Yang Lian and Lin Renzhao didn't know how many people they had killed, they only felt that their arms were already sore, and as the battle heated, all the people were red-eyed, and they only remembered to raise the knife and slash, and then raise the knife and slash, repeating the mechanical action.

There were fewer and fewer people around Yang Lian, and Lin Renzhao was also injured, panting and standing beside Yang Lian.

"Retreat!" Yang Lian said that the enemy is strong, and at this time, only by shortening the battle line can it be possible to continue to survive. Tang Bing fought and walked, walking towards the cabin, Yang Lian and Lin Renzhao personally broke off, and the enemy frenched, before retreating to the cabin, Yang Lian killed two more people, he was covered in blood, as if he had just taken a bloody bath, which looked quite scary.

At this time, Chen Tie had already retreated to the cabin with Fu Jinzhan , Fu Jinzhan saw Yang Lian covered in blood, her body couldn't help shaking, she was very nervous, Yang Lian seemed to be injured, and it looked serious.

Mi Shiwei stood beside her, also very worried, and at this time, a pursuer raised a big knife in his hand and slashed towards Yang Lian. Yang Lian raised the long knife that had been curled up, and the sound of the "bell" made both of them numb in their arms, but Yang Lian didn't give him time to react at all, and struggled to be mighty, and with a knife split, the blade made a sharp sound, and the sound of muscle tearing and the piercing sound of the blade cutting through the bones instantly filled people's eardrums.

Lin Renzhao rushed over and slashed down with a knife, cutting off the man's arm. The man screamed, jumped backwards, swayed, and fell from the ship. The river was dyed even redder, and there were at least twenty corpses floating on the surface of the river, and the rest were slowly moving eastward with the river.

"Retreat!" Yang Lian shouted and quickly retreated, Lin Renzhao followed, Chen Tie caught up, and led people to block the door with the few pieces of furniture in the cabin, hoping to delay the enemy's offensive.

"Brother Yang, your injury!" Almost at the same time, Fu Jinzhan and Mi Shiwei asked.

Yang Lian shook his hand, after a long time of fighting, his arm was already numb, and once he stopped, he found that his physical strength was overdrawn. Yang Lian squirmed his chapped lips and said, "These people should be Wu Yue people, I didn't expect them to ambush here, and there are actually a lot of them, it looks like they have been planning for a long time." ”

Mi Shiwei sighed and said, "It's a pity that I can only get this information." There was a lot of reproach in his eyes.

"No, if you hadn't reported it in time, we wouldn't have been prepared at all." Yang Lian shook his head.

Chen Tie saw that Yang Lian's arm was bleeding, so he hurriedly took a bandage to bandage Yang Lian, and the other soldiers also bandaged each other.

"How many more?" Yang Lian asked.

"There are only ten of them." Chen Tie frowned, when he came, there were more than thirty people, most of them had died in battle at this time, and only ten people were left, and Wu Yue was like wolves and tigers, waiting outside the door, ready to kill at any time.

As soon as Chen Tie's words fell, Wu Yueren broke in, banging on the door one after another, and several soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to resist it, hoping to delay time as soon as possible.

"No, that's not the way to go." Lin Renzhao said.

Yang Lian also knew that he didn't know the way, at this time, he only pinned his hopes on Gao Huaide's body, after all, he had a thousand cavalry, and his combat effectiveness was very strong. Even if the Wu Yue people designed it in advance, it was impossible for there to be too many people, after all, this was the Han Kingdom, not the territory of the Wu Yue people.

"Yang Lian, you don't have to be caught yet!" At this time, a voice sounded, with a thick Suzhou accent.

"If you want me to surrender, it's impossible!" After Yang Lian drank a few sips of water, his spirits were slightly lifted.

Chen Tie and Mi Shiwei bandaged Yang Lian's wounds, but the blood gushing out still quickly wet the bandages, depending on the situation, they must get out of danger as soon as possible, otherwise Yang Lian will bleed to death even if he does not die in battle.

Chen Tie carried a big knife and shouted: "Straight lady thief, I fought with them." ”

"Don't rush, save some effort!" Yang Lian said.

"It's a pity, if my father was here, things would be easier!" Fu Jinzhan said suddenly.

Mi Shiwei, Lin Renzhao, and Chen Tie didn't know who Fu Jinzhan's father was, and they couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that even if your father was here, could he be like those Taoist priests in the Tang Legend, who could scatter beans into soldiers and kill all these people?

Yang Lian's eyes lit up, and said: "Everyone, although the people of Wuyue surrounded us, but this place is not far from Xuzhou, the fight is half loud, many corpses fell into the canal, and the river water is also dyed red, within an hour or two, presumably Xuzhou City will get the news, the longer we support it, the more hope there is for survival." ”

"Moreover, Gao Huaide has a thousand cavalry on his side, and it is impossible for the Wu Yue people to design here on a large scale, once Gao Huaide is out of the encirclement, he will definitely come to support us and others! Everyone, hold on until dark, and the people of Wuyue will inevitably retreat! Yang Lian shouted loudly, his voice a little hoarse.

Lin Renzhao wanted to drink high, but he touched the wound and couldn't help but gasp.

Chen Tie raised his arms and shouted, "Yes, these Wuyue people will inevitably retreat when it gets dark!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, more than 30 people including me went to Kaifeng, shouldering the heavy responsibility of peace talks with the Han Dynasty, and now that the matter has been successful, we must not let the Wu Yue people succeed and destroy the great cause of the alliance. You are fighting hard today, no matter what the time is, I will definitely make it clear to Your Majesty and ask for credit for you! Yang Lian said again, at this time, it is necessary to use money, fame and fortune to motivate everyone.

Everyone shouted in unison, "I was serving the general!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Wu Yueren slammed on the gate again, and the gate let out a moan, which could break at any time.

Suddenly, a sharp knife slashed through the window, and the lattice was torn apart, revealing a hideous face from the broken window. The man raised his broadsword and slashed at the window, hoping to make the opening wider and break through from this side.

Chen Tie snorted coldly, he had been protecting Fu Jinzhan all the time, almost barely using his hands, his physical strength was enough, and he immediately rushed up, this place is relatively not easy to use, Chen Tie found a broken spear, and stabbed it violently outside, in the chaos, one person screamed, thinking that he was stabbed.

However, Chen Tie couldn't stop Wu Yueren's determination, they rushed up one after another, slashing around the window, the window paper made a rattling sound, and the window lattice was soon cut off, and then, someone kicked the window violently, and the wooden plank made a creaking sound, obviously unable to stop these people's attacks.

Yang Lian tore off a strip of cloth from his body, and then wrapped the hilt and palm of his hand together, the worst battle is about to begin, am I going to die here? Is my great cause of recovering the country going to be buried in the hands of Wu Yueren? Yang Lian thought about it, and he was really unwilling in his heart.

"Miss Mi, these Wu Yue people are coming for me, you are all innocent people, Yang is deeply sorry." Yang Lian said while wrapping his palms.

Mi Shiwei shook her head and said, "At this time, what are you talking about?" You can't afford to have an accident, and you know that there are a lot of people waiting for you. ”

Yang Lian's body was shocked, and he remembered Zeng Yiling, a woman who also had a deep hatred of blood like herself; thought of Zhou Ye again, this loyal man who made his body weaker and weaker; Yang Lian even thought of the children of the Yang family who were imprisoned in Hailing, and these people were waiting for him.

"Yes, I can't die!" Yang Lian slowly stood up, his eyes full of murderous aura.

"Miss Mi, if you have a chance in a while, you can protect Miss Fu and go first!" Yang Lian gave an order, Fu Jinzhan has a special identity, and there must be no accident, otherwise Fu Yanqing will not be able to explain at all. (To be continued.) )
