Chapter 63: Enemies Meet
Qin Qiong's eyes were full of tears, and he arranged for Xin Shixiong's personal soldiers to bury him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause this is an enemy-occupied area, they don't even dare to leave tombstones and graves; Qin Qiong secretly swore that he must step on the water and realize Xin Shixiong's dream.
Qin Qiong stood up, and at this time, Cheng Yanjin and the others also came back, and told him about the process of chasing and killing the enemy, Qin Qiong comforted Lao Cheng a few words, and then erected the banner of the right guard.
Cheng Yanjin said: "Second brother, the enemy is strong, and he will come back soon to encircle and suppress us, so it's better to cross the river quickly!" Qin Qiong nodded secretly and said: "Let's go around a little far to find a place to cross the river from the upstream, after a flood, where the water is gentle; Second, the enemy is deployed downstream, so we can avoid the enemy and pass smoothly! ”
Cheng Yanjin heard that the words were good, and the two brothers took their own 5,000 men and horses, and Xin Shixiong gathered 2,000 men and horses, quietly left the nameless hills, bypassed a distance, and ran upstream quickly against the current.
Along the way, they encountered several search teams of Goguryeo, but they were not large, and they were killed and scattered. He also freed some of his captives and gathered some of his rout; By the time the Liao River was crossed, there were already more than 13,000 soldiers.
After Sashui, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Qin Qiong ordered the troops to rest on the spot, and distributed the dry food in his army to these people to eat, and the physical strength and morale of the army quickly recovered.
The people who escaped were led by Qin Qiong and began to walk down the sa water to rescue their robes. Along the way, they saw corpses strewn all over the field, almost all of them were the corpses of the Sui army, some were drowned in the flood, and some were killed by the enemy.
After walking for more than ten miles along Sashui, a total of hundreds of defeated soldiers were not gathered, Qin Qiong shook his head and knew that things were no longer possible; The team had to turn around and move in the direction of Liaoyang.
They walked for about twenty miles, and suddenly heard the sound of killing, Qin Qiong was stunned, and hurriedly urged the horse over a small hill. It was found that the Sui army and the Goguryeo army were fighting fiercely.
The Sui army numbered about 20,000 or 30,000 people, while the soldiers of Goguryeo were close to 100,000. It was thought that the Goguryeo soldiers who were ambushed on the south bank of Sashui were killing the Sui soldiers who had escaped by luck.
Qin Qiong took a closer look at the battlefield and said, "Look, now we are strangled with the enemy; Our ranks have been divided and surrounded, and the situation is critical! Let's attack from the east and west to disrupt the enemy's deployment and save our team in one fell swoop! ”
Lao Cheng nodded when he heard this: "Second brother, this form reminds me of when Niu Tong invaded Liangshan; Sheng Yanshi went to reinforce Liang Shitai. He ordered the army to hold two torches, bewildering Niu Tong.
Now it is dark; We can also let those wounded soldiers, with branches in their hands, sweep up dust and confuse the enemy! We will definitely be able to succeed in the battle in two ways! ”
Qin Qiong said: "Good! With an order, as Cheng Yanjin rushed down the hillside, billowing smoke and dust rose from the mountain.
Like two sharp knives, they plunged into the enemy's ribs, and both sides of the battle were stunned. As soon as the Sui army saw the banner of the Sui Dynasty on the right guard, they all shouted, and their morale was greatly shaken.
The Goguryeo soldiers were taken by surprise and fell from heaven to hell at once; The commander saw the smoke and dust billowing from the hill, and he didn't know how many troops were rushing over; was so frightened that his soul was scattered, and he hurriedly roared and shouted to withdraw his troops.
Cheng Yanjin and the others hurriedly cut through the encirclement and joined the Sui army inside, and then everyone rushed to Goguryeo's troops in unison and killed them back.
"General Xin is here? Mr. Yuwen is please! A Chinese officer ran in front of Qin Qiong and the others and asked in a loud voice.
Qin Qiong shook his head and said, "General Xin has been martyred!" On his deathbed, he gave us the army of the right guard, and let us gather the defeated army! ”
The Chinese officer was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Who are you?" Qin Qiong said: "I am the head of the waterway march, Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, the vanguard officer under the account of the lord, and I was ordered to come to Liaoyang to participate in the war; Just in time for this fight! ”
The man's mouth pursed and he said a little lightly: "Then you wait, I'll go and ask Chief Yuwen to make a decision!" So saying, he beat his horse and left.
Lao Cheng pouted and said: "If there is a minion, there is a master, and you can also see from here what kind of virtue Yuwenshu is, it is strange not to lose this battle!" ”
"Biting the gold is silent, there are too many people here, let's go back and talk about it!" Qin Qiong hurriedly stopped Cheng biting the blonde and complaining.
As they were talking, a great general was urging his horse to come, and this man was now covered in blood, and could scarcely make out his human appearance; He hugged his fists at Qin Qiong and the others and said, "Thank you, if it weren't for your righteous rescue, Wei would have explained here today!" ”
Qin Qiong smiled and said, "Wei Dashuai, you don't have to be polite, don't you know Qin Qiong?" As he spoke, he took off the lion's helmet from his head.
That Wei Dashuai was Wei Wentong, the flower knife marshal, he and Qin Qiong met in a hurry in Dengzhou, and at this time, Qin Qiong was like a blood gourd, and he really didn't recognize it at once.
When Qin Qiong took off his helmet, Wei Wentong suddenly exclaimed: "It turned out to be the Thirteenth Taibao!" I said that I know all the generals in the Sui army, why don't I know when such a hero came out; It turned out to be the Thirteen Taibao in person, atoning for sins, atonement! ”
Qin Qiong also hurriedly said politely: "Wei Dashuai, why didn't you accompany the king and also arrived at the battlefield in Pyongyang?" ”
Wei Wentong sighed and said, "Since Yuwenshu's army left, the king of the backer felt that something was wrong, and asked me to come with 10,000 horses to support; Unexpectedly, before he arrived in Sashui, he encountered Yuwenshu's defeated army.
When I met Wang Rengong's army of the Broken Queen, there were only 2,700 people left in Yuwenshu's 300,000-strong army. We wanted to rush to save people, but we fell into it; If it weren't for the rescue of the 13th Taibao, it would definitely be more than lucky. ”
Qin Qiong hurriedly said a few words of humility, and Wei Wentong asked again: "Taibao, I heard that the chief manager was defeated in Pyongyang, and even the Taibao was folded in, what's going on?" ”
Qin Qiong sighed, and told the story of the incident, and Wei Wentong listened and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity." Then he said to Qin Qiong: "Thirteen Taibao, you have done a great job this time, not only killed Gao Jian, the king's younger brother of Goguryeo, but also killed Jin Santai, the head of the Praetorian Guard; Liaodong Province leading the general manager of Yizhi Wenzhi. I've heard of this Kim Sam Tae and Eulji Wenzhi, they are the leading generals of Goguryeo, and the Thirteen Taibao are waiting for Your Majesty to reward them! ”
Qin Qiong shook his head and said, "These are all the lives of the three armies, brothers help; Qin Qiong didn't dare to take credit! ”
As he was talking, which of the Chinese officers just now ran over to Qin Qiong and said, "Qin Qiong, Chief Yuwen has summoned, come with me to meet you!" ”
Qin Qiong shouted at everyone, and then followed the middle officer to see Yu Wenshu. Wei Wentong and Lao Cheng had a holiday, so they left at that time. Cheng Yanjin and the others were not very worried about Qin Qiong, and secretly followed behind, dangling behind Yuwenshu's military tent.
Qin Qiong followed the officer to meet Yuwenshu, Yuwenshu asked him how he came, and then asked him to hand over the rout that he had gathered and belonged to Yuwenshu.
Qin Qiong sneered in her heart and said secretly: "A little credit, Qin really didn't put it in his eyes, so I'll give it to you to reduce the crime!" Thinking of this, Qin Qiong was not hypocritical, and happily agreed to Yu Wenshu's request.
Yuwen Shu laughed when he heard this, and happily let him step back; Qin Qiong agreed and withdrew from the military tent, but did not notice the hateful gaze in the eyes of a guard at the door.
Waiting for Yuwen to say that they were out of the big tent, the soldier suddenly came to Yuwen Zhiji's side and whispered a few words secretly. Yu Wenzhi's face changed greatly: "You can see clearly!" The soldier bowed down and said, "Yes, if your subordinates dare to vouch for their lives, it is definitely him!" ”
Yuwen Zhihe waved his hand lightly, and then quickly caught up with Yuwen Shu, and then stopped his father and said a few words.
Yu Wenshu's face changed drastically: "Can you be sure it's him!" Yuwen Zhihe nodded and said, "Yes, father, there is a younger brother's doorman to confirm it personally." Among the bandits who committed the murder at that time, the bandit leader was too tall, had a sallow complexion, and had a double fist, it was this Qin Qiong! And the younger brother died under his hammer! ”
