Chapter 235: Death Blocks the Tartars
Wang Zhaolin's personal guards and entourage are all practitioners, and they are quick and accurate, of course, they will not be naΓ―ve to fight a bloody way to protect Wang Zhaolin to escape, in that case, hundreds of crossbows around them can instantly turn them into a sieve. [No pop-ups. γ
What they want is to kidnap Li Yan, as long as they hold this leading general in their hands, they are not afraid that the gang of people wearing strange white robes will not obediently let go of a way. Therefore, although several people did not have weapons and knives in their hands, they used their grappling techniques to rub their bodies and pounce.
Although several people jumped up at the same time, they also jumped a little bit in succession, and the fastest one jumped was a short thin man. He jumped up, his hands were bent in eagle claws, his nails were deliberately sharpened, and he grabbed Li Yan's neck with a strong wind, as long as he grabbed it, Li Yan's throat would be firmly locked, and the thin man only needed to crush Li Yan's Adam's apple with only a slight force.
When Li Yan turned his head, the pair of eagle talons had already arrived in front of him, and the white-robed soldiers around him were attracted by Yan Ximing's shout, and before they even turned around, no one had time to react to the outburst of the thin man and a few people in this lightning and flint.
The corners of the thin man's mouth twitched slightly, and a cruel smile appeared.
But he was caught.
His eagle claws slashed over Li Yan's chin, and he didn't pinch anything, because the force was too strong, and the thin man had to draw his arm in the air in a semicircle again before he could regain his momentum.
At that moment just now, Li Yan fully revealed the true character of a veteran who walked back and forth between life and death, and it was too late for him to draw his knife to block or dodge it, so in a hurry, he took advantage of an iron plate bridge and fell backwards like a piece of paper folded in half, avoiding this blow.
Then he took advantage of the situation to fall to the ground, rolled over, and staggered several positions, so that several people who pounced on him suddenly fell into the air at the same time.
The thin man was in a hurry, turned over and went up again, his position was in the front, closest to Li Yan who was rolling on the ground, he jumped over with one foot, and stepped directly on Li Yan's head with an eagle step.
Li Yan's long knife could not be used in this situation, and the blade was too long. He rolled a few times, and just wanted to stand up when he saw a leg falling from the air, and the soles of his feet stepped straight on his face, and without thinking too much, he erected the long knife with a sheath, turned the knife into G, and slammed it on the sole of the thin man's feet.
All this happened in just one or two breaths, and at this time, the white-robed soldiers around him reacted, and as soon as a dozen spears were extended, several of their followers immediately lost their chances and were forced to dodge the spears.
With this skill, Li Yan turned over and jumped up, flashed into the spear bush, and shouted: "Let go of the arrows, don't let any of them go!" β
The white-robed soldier with the mountain-destroying crossbow never let go at all, and when he heard Li Yan's order, the arrows came out like locusts, and Rao is entourage was strong in martial arts, ingenious in body, and not as fast as the arrows, and died immediately under the arrows.
Li Yan kept a straight face, did not unsheath the long knife in his hand, threw it with his arm, and threw it directly like a javelin, accurately hitting the knee of a white-bearded old man who was about to jump into the river on the canopy boat, and the old man screamed "oops" and fell back into the boat, unable to move.
It turned out that Wang Zhaolin realized that things were going to be bad when Li Yan dodged the first blow of the thin man, and took advantage of the chaos to climb onto the boat and try to jump into the river to survive, but was seen by the sharp-eyed Li Yan and arrested.
Several white-robed soldiers rushed up and grabbed Xiao J and sent Wang Zhaolin down.
Wang Zhaolin was discouraged, he couldn't stand steadily, and he couldn't stop moaning, it seemed that Li Yan probably broke his leg bones.
At this time, the white-robed soldiers who searched on the other ships came ashore and happily reported to Li Yanyu: "Lord Qian, the ship is full of iron boxes, and the mouths are extremely heavy. I don't know how much treasure is on board! β
"Oh?" Li Yan's eyes widened suddenly, he opened his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's really a coincidence, I didn't expect that I would stop a windfall for Lord Wang today." β
He looked at Wang Zhaolin with a smile and said, "It turns out that Prime Minister Wang is going to leave with so much gold and silver, but now I'm Li, I'm here, you can't leave." β
Wang Zhaolin's face was like ashes, he didn't say a word, he looked like life and death were casual, he knew that he couldn't live, so he simply didn't speak. And Yan Xi's life in the distance is different, this fat man is greedy for life and afraid of death, he wants to save his life, and he has a bitter hatred for Wang Zhaolin, and he can't wait to swallow his R alive, so he shouted again: "Official, official, the boat is the accumulation of Zhang Xianzhong, the demon king, for several years, and was taken out of the palace by Wang Zhaolin, and wants to defect to the Tartars, although there are many treasures on this ship, but it is far more than these, the official will quickly interrogate him, maybe he still hides some in other places!" β
"Huh?" Li Yan's eyes widened, grandma, there are more than a dozen big ships here, but they haven't been loaded yet, Wang Zhaolin still has other things hidden, has the thief been saving money all these years?
His expression changed, he looked at Wang Zhaolin with a smile, as if he was looking at a living God of Wealth, reached out, first pinched Wang Zhaolin's chin and removed his jawbone to prevent the old man from biting his tongue and committing suicide, and then smiled and asked people to tie him up, and when it was dawn, he took him to see Wang Huan, of course, and the dozen boats of gold and silver.
Li Yan was in a very happy mood, even the water pass was not so important, compared to running away a few thieves, the harvest here was huge. He raised his head and looked at the half of the sky that was red because of the fire in the city, the morning star twinkling before dawn in the sky was already bright enough, if Zhao Laoqi was here, he must have knocked on the banner and shouted, "Five watches, go to bed early and get up early".
It's almost dawn, and Chengdu City is about to change hands.
When the first rays of light on the horizon illuminated the lush peaks of Dajian Mountain, Ma Xintian, who was sleeping on the Jianmen Pass City, opened his eyes.
He had been sleeping on this tower, which was no more than ten zhang long and five zhang wide, for more than ten days, and he was accompanied by 2,500 soldiers under his command.
These days, wave after wave of news from the direction of Guangyuan, at first Zhang Xianzhong heard that the retreat was cut off, thundered and furious, and wanted to lead the troops to kill back, in Guangyuan to rectify the military horses, and later Haoge pursued, Zhang Xianzhong could not go, a big battle, the Great Western Army was defeated again, but the Qing soldiers also suffered great casualties, because this time the battlefield was no longer the Hanzhong Plain, but the Shuzhong Mountains, the Mongolian cavalry could not exert the greatest power, and the cavalry wore C to break the formation, although the Qing soldiers were strong, but the soldiers brought by Li Dingguo were also not afraid of death, After the collision between the two phases, the Great Western Army retreated to Xichong, and the Qing army pursued after paying the price of the death of Melerzhangjingebuku and others.
Later, the news of Zhang Xianzhong's death came.
Although Liu Jinzhong died in the hands of Wang Huan, but the Great Western Army generals who took refuge in the Tartars are still very large, in the Phoenix Mountain in Xichong, the Great Western Army fought in formation, and the Qing army held on for several days, Zhang Xianzhong in order to explore the reality of the Qing army, personally climbed the mountain to watch the enemy, was recognized by the traitors who took refuge in the Qing army, the Qing army urgently transferred the Eight Banners to besiege, Zhang Xianzhong's generation of heroes, was actually hit by the cold arrow, died on the mountain.
Zhang Xianzhong died, the Great Western Army was leaderless, chaotic, the Qing army took the opportunity to attack, the Great Western Army was defeated again, Sun Kewang in order to retrieve Zhang Xianzhong's corpse, led the soldiers into battle with injuries, was surrounded by heavy surrounding, died under the chaotic arrows, temporarily went north to shed tears, crying, the corpse was desperate and did not fall, like a god of war, the Qing soldiers looked sideways.
The remnants of the Great Western Army, under the leadership of Li Dingguo, were defeated to the west and entered the vast mountains.
In this way, the situation was as Wang Huan expected, and Ma Xintian, who was in the Sword Pavilion, directly faced the Haoge army.
Guarding the Sword Gate alone, Ma Xintian was not afraid, these days, he has done one thing, digging roads.
He burned all the plank roads from Jianmen Pass to the north, and the stone roads that could not be burned, lifted the stone slabs and dug up the roadbed, so that the monkeys could not walk, how to destroy it completely, how to come, and dug for dozens of miles, so that this main road in and out of the river became a dead end.
Such a reason, of course, is to buy time to solve the Chengdu area for Wang Huan in exchange for enough space. After all, the road can be rebuilt, and when Shuzhong is certain, find more people to build a plank road.
He had already made up his mind to defend the Sword Pavilion to the death.
Ma Xintian's strong wall cleared the wilderness, which made Haoge, who led the troops from Guangyuan with the intention of entering Sichuan, very unhappy.
The mountain breeze was blowing, the scenery was picturesque, and the beautiful mountains of northern Sichuan and the great victory of Zhang Xianzhong did not make Haoge comfortable for long, because Dolgon, the hateful uncle, gave him the task not only to get Zhang Xianzhong's head, but also to take the whole of Sichuan.
If the goal is not achieved to capture Chengdu and return to Beijing, Dolgon will definitely make a big fuss, waiting for Hauge, and the demotion to prison is light, maybe it is possible to cut off the head and rob the house, this vicious regent will do it.
Therefore, when Haoge led Aobai, Sule, Wu Sangui and others to stand on the hillside, looking at the demolished plank road, he was so angry that he jumped with anger.
"Bold! Ming Dog actually did this, destroying the road and breaking the bridge, why didn't he dare to fight with me?! Hauge's roar could be heard for miles, and the anger made everyone standing around him feel like a storm blowing in the face.
Su Le stood quietly behind him and said softly: "Lord Wang, Ming Dog's style has always been like this, cowardly and timid, but in this way, it can also be seen that they are afraid of us like tigers, and the prestige of the Qing army can be seen." β
Ao Bai glanced at Su Le and said disdainfully, "So what? The Eight Banners Army is known to everyone for their bravery, so you don't need to be impatient. β
Su Le smiled faintly, as if he hadn't heard it, and continued: "The current problem, I'm afraid that it will have to be delayed for some days, and after the road is rebuilt, we can only move towards Chengdu, and this matter of building roads and bridges must be carried out as soon as possible." β
"This king knows." Haoge said impatiently, turned his head and shouted, "Where is the king of Pingxi?" β
Wu Sangui was standing in the back row, his face darkened when he heard the sound, knowing that Haoge was going to send the dirty work of road construction to the Han army again, he snorted in his dissatisfied nose, but then his face changed, and he stepped forward as usual, and responded in a loud voice: "The end will be!" β
"Order you to order the Han army and horses to repair the damaged plank road within ten days, prepare for the army to go south, and if the road is impassable within a time limit, it will be punished for violating the military order!" Hauge said with a calm face.
Wu Sangui was itching with hatred in his heart, but he didn't dare to expose it on his face, so he bowed down and promised loudly: "The last general has orders, please rest assured!" β
