Chapter 874: Birth
(2-in-1)
The guards also immediately began to kill the enemy and seize the horse, to say that it was Gongsun Lan Li, but saw her figure on the back of the rebel cavalry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info With each jump, a rebel cavalryman was killed and dismounted, and a group of guards followed her to grab the horse. Soon after, more than 200 guards grabbed the mount. These people were originally cavalrymen, and once they got on horseback, they suddenly became like fish in water, and their combat power increased dramatically. Under the leadership of Wang Yuan, he instead counterattacked the opponent down the dirt slope.
There were still a large number of guards who did not grab the horses, but they held Mo knives and closely followed the hundreds of cavalry charging in front of them to rush under the dirt slope, and several rushed back and forth to scatter the opponent's formation. With the back and forth of the charge, the number of personal guard cavalry increased, more and more people had mounts, and half of the more than 1,000 guards had mounts. The situation is becoming more and more favorable.
But Wang Yuan was actually getting more and more anxious in his heart, the other party obviously began to entangle and harass, caused by cavalry, and the other party knew that it was powerful and would actually avoid it. But as soon as they turned around, they rushed up with a scream, and it was not a good idea to do so, and it would be troublesome to entangle the enemy infantry when they arrived.
Gongsun Lan snatched a jujube red horse and followed Wang Yuan's side, she also saw the delicacy of the situation, so she shouted in a deep voice: "Erlang, I am afraid that the enemy is the commander of the army over there, and the king will be captured first if the enemy is captured, so as not to chase them around in circles." They are clearly stalling for time. ”
Wang Yuan looked a few miles to the east, and saw a large banner waving in the wind, and hundreds of horses under his banner stood on horseback to watch the battle from afar, and did not join the battle group. There were constantly cavalry shuttling back and forth from the direction of the banner towards the battlefield, apparently conveying orders. The man under the banner will be the commander of the enemy army.
"It's a good way, but it's hard to kill him, but you can turn the tiger away from the mountain. Let's kill them, not afraid that their cavalry will not be saved. Zhao Qing and Tan Ping can take the rest of the brothers on board. Wang Yuan said loudly.
"Exactly." Gongsun Lan nodded.
Wang Yuan turned his head and ordered: "Zhao Qing Tan Ping, we pretend to rush to kill the enemy commander to attract the enemy army to come to the rescue, once the enemy army comes, you will immediately turn around and go to the ferry, and immediately board the ship offshore." Not one of them is allowed to follow me. ”
"What should you do?" Zhao Qing said busily.
Wang Yuan shouted: "Let them leave a small boat on the shore, as long as you get on the ferry and go offshore, I will have a way to escape." ”
"But ......" Zhao Qing and Tan Ping were embarrassed.
"No, but, the enemy's reinforcements are coming, and any further delay will be a dead end, so stop me." Wang Yuan shouted.
"Obedience!" Zhao Qing and Tan Ping knew that this was a death order, and they couldn't disobey it, so they had to agree. However, the two of them had already made a plan in their hearts, if the marshal and the princess girl were difficult to get out, they would definitely lead their brothers to come ashore again to rescue, even if the marshal was punished by military law afterwards.
"Brothers, kill with me!" Wang Yuan raised the bloody Mo knife and waved it towards the east, shouting loudly in his mouth.
"Kill!" More than a thousand guards shouted in unison, and hundreds of cavalry followed Wang Yuan's horse and rushed towards the banner a few miles to the east. Hundreds of guards without mounts, led by Tan Ping, followed behind and shouted, running, rushing from the bottom of the hill to the flat place of the ferry, and quickly approaching the ferry.
The rebel cavalry had been galloping around the perimeter, and they were ordered to besiege their opponents, not to fight with them, and to wait for reinforcements to arrive. But at this moment, they found that the opposing cavalry was rushing towards the place where Yan Dashuai was, a few miles to the east, and they were all dumbfounded. The other party is going to kill Yan Dashuai, which can't be ignored. Without waiting for Yan Zhuang's order, more than 3,000 rebel cavalry hurriedly rushed to the east to block it.
After running wildly, the rebel cavalry had changed from a scattered state to a situation in which two teams followed Wang Yuan's cavalry and horses on both sides. Although they also knew that there were hundreds of Tang soldiers boarding the ship, they couldn't take care of it, thinking that if anyone didn't come to the rescue at this time, there would definitely be no good fruit to eat afterwards. Besides, they also knew that the commander of the Tang Army was still there, and it was nothing if the little soldiers ran away.
"Now, you turn around and kill the ferry, and get on the boat as fast as you can." Wang Yuan shouted sharply.
Zhao Qing shouted a promise, with a whistle in his mouth, he turned his horse and rushed south, and more than 500 horsemen followed him diagonally to the south, crossed the front of a group of rebel cavalry, and went around in a big circle and rushed straight to the ferry. The rebel cavalry did not know why, and hesitated for a while. I don't know whether to move on or to pursue these hundreds of cavalry.
Just as he was hesitating, he heard the man in front of him turn around and shout: "Tang Xiangguo, generalissimo Wang Yuan of counterinsurgency soldiers and horses is here, and you are waiting to die." ”
Upon hearing this, the hesitant rebel cavalry was still interested in the soldiers who ran towards the ferry, and it would be a great credit to catch him. So no longer hesitated, and chased down in a swarm.
Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan rode side by side and rushed straight to the banner in front of them. The next moment, more than 100 solemn guards in front of him had already rushed to intercept him, Gongsun Lan jumped up and landed on Wang Yuan's horse, just like the tricks of the two of them killing the enemy in the chaos before, Gongsun Lan jumped up in the air to kill the enemy soldiers in front, and Wang Yuan was in charge of the enemy troops on the flank. The husband and wife cooperated tacitly, and the two rode like a sharp blade through the intercepting cavalry, leaving corpses behind their horses.
Seeing that these two people were so brave, they broke through the resistance of more than 100 cavalry in an instant, and the solemnity of the banner was very surprised. He had already seen through Wang Yuan's intentions, and planned to order the cavalry to rush to the ferry to prevent the other party's soldiers and horses from boarding the ship. He thought that his 300 personal guards cavalry could stop the opponent, but he didn't expect the opponent to be so brave and easily break through the first block of more than 100 cavalry.
"Quick, stop them." Seeing that the two of them were already hundreds of steps away, Yan Zhuang couldn't calm down, and hurriedly ordered in a loud voice.
The two hundred guards cavalry beside him were already ready to go, and when they heard the order, they immediately rode out to meet them. However, to Yan Zhuang's surprise, after a piece of flesh and blood flew into the sky, the two of them actually broke through the barrier of the two hundred cavalry again with blood, and rushed towards him with great momentum.
"Yan Dashuai, go quickly. The lowly rank stopped them. Several generals beside him hurriedly shouted.
Yan Zhuang until this is not a joke, the other party is so powerful, the army is like entering a no-man's land, and he can't stand up. Said a voice: "There is labor." After that, Yan Zhuang turned his horse and left.
The four lieutenant generals rode their horses and swords side by side in front of Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan, who rushed forward, with a menacing attitude. When Wang Yuan's mount rushes closer, the four of them will raise their weapons and attack at the same time. Listening to the chaotic sound, Wang Yuan's mount passed between the four people's mounts without any delay. Behind them, the four generals on their mounts froze, and the next moment, they fell off their horses one after another, blood gushing out of their bodies.
The rebel cavalry in the rear were shocked to see this, and at the same time began to worry about Yan Zhuang's fate. First, among these two people, there were people who claimed to be the source of the Tang Dynasty, and secondly, Yan Zhuang's life was threatened, and the rebels no longer had the slightest other idea, and chased after them with all their might.
The solemn mount is a good horse, and it runs quite fast. After Wang Yuan killed the four lieutenant generals, he had already fled dozens of steps to the east. Wang Yuan rode his horse and chased after him, but the horse he was riding was just an ordinary war horse, and he couldn't catch up at all, but the distance was getting farther and farther. Gongsun Lan didn't have a spear or bow in his hand, and he couldn't kill Yan Zhuang from a distance. At this moment, a black banner and a figure appeared not far from the east, which was obviously the arrival of the enemy's reinforcements, and solemnly whipped and raised their hooves and galloped towards the infantry rushing to the east.
Wang Yuan chased hundreds of steps, and also saw the infantry coming from the opposite side, knowing that it didn't make much sense to chase again, and it would be difficult to get out if he was surrounded by a full circle.
"Count him lucky, cousin, I'm afraid we're going to turn back, and we won't be able to leave if we don't leave at this moment." Wang Yuan said loudly.
Gongsun Lan smiled and said, "It's long overdue to turn back, do you really want to kill him?" ”
Wang Yuan smiled and said, "It looks like there is a chance, but in fact, there is no chance." It's time for our men to board the ship and leave the shore, and we'll have to hurry to the ferry, or we'll be terrible. ”
The two immediately turned their horses' heads and galloped south, and Yan Zhuang, who was running in front, turned around on his horse and saw the two fleeing south, and suddenly understood that the two were going to flee to the ferry, so he turned his head and shouted: "Stop them, they want to escape." ”
The rebel cavalry also saw the intention of the two, and hundreds of cavalry rushed diagonally south to encircle the two, and the rest of the cavalry also turned their horses and surrounded them from all directions.
Wang Yuan beat the horse desperately, and although the mount under his crotch tried his best to run, it was a pity that it was only an inferior horse, and it carried the two of them for such a long time. When he rushed through the enemy line just now, he was wounded in the leg of the horse's rump. So even if Wang Yuan was beaten and scolded desperately, it couldn't do anything, but staggered and foamed at the mouth, and it looked like it was about to fall to the ground.
Wang Yuan scolded repeatedly, but he was helpless. Gongsun Lan immediately made a decision, and shouted coquettishly: "The horse is useless, it is better to abandon the horse." ”
Without Wang Yuan to say anything, Gongsun Lan reached out and grabbed Wang Yuan's arm, and the two of them rose and fell to the ground in the air. The horse stumbled and rolled to the ground the moment they landed, foaming at the ground and rolling its eyes.
"Down! Fallen off the horse," the rebel cavalry in the rear shouted excitedly. Bows and arrows whizzed at the two of them.
Gongsun Lan said in a deep voice: "Hold me tight." ”
Wang Yuan did not hesitate at all, reached out to hug Gongsun Lan's slender waist, and Gongsun Lan also reached out to hug Wang Yuan's waist, and let out a delicate sound in his mouth. The next moment, Wang Yuan felt his body soaring, his toes dragging on the ground, grinding loudly. The objects in front of him retreated one after another, and the speed was amazing.
"What's the point of borrowing strength on tiptoe and dragging along the ground?" Gongsun Lan said angrily.
Wang Yuan's face turned red, and he said in his heart: Do you think I am you? Did I come here on tiptoe? When he looked down, he saw that Gongsun Lan's two feet barely touched the ground, and the two toes hit the ground and bounced up and walked forward alternately, as if gliding on the grass blades on the ground.
From a distance, Wang Yuan looked like a big burden carried by Gongsun Lan, the burden was too big, and he was almost dragged along the ground. If Wang Yuan saw this scene himself, he would have to die of shame.
The speed of the two of them was faster than the speed of the horse just now, and in an instant, they ran out of more than ten feet. The cavalry intercepted on the right side was also heading south parallel to them, but the speed of these cavalry was not as fast as Gongsun Lan's running speed. At first, they went hand in hand, but after more than ten breaths, they were left behind by Gongsun Lan. Finally, no matter how they whipped the horse's buttocks and urged the horses, they could only watch Gongsun Lan drag Wang Yuan to overtake at a distance of about twenty steps in front of the horse's head, and go straight to the White Horse Ferry.
The cavalry shot arrows at the backs of the two of them, and the dense rain of arrows swished past the two of them, and Gongsun Lan took Wang Yuan to shuttle through the rain of arrows without distraction, and finally rushed to the side of the Baimadu dock after the tea.
Dozens of ferries full of soldiers in the river wandered more than a hundred paces from the shore, and they watched the chase on the shore in amazement. They watched Marshal Wang and Miss Gongsun run past the war horse with their legs, and even overtook the war horse, and everyone was stunned and didn't know what to say. It wasn't until someone cheered loudly that everyone woke up, and the applause was thunderous and the cheers continued.
A small boat bobbing on the water below the ferry pier was reserved for the two of them to escape. Wang Yuan bared his teeth and shouted, "Cousin, jump down." ”
Gongsun Lan jumped up, the two fell into the boat, Wang Yuan swung his sword to cut the rope, grabbed the oars and shook quickly, and the boat quickly left the shore. A moment later, a large number of cavalry rushed to the embankment next to the pier and fired arrows at the boat.
Gongsun Lan stood in front of Wang Yuan, dancing with a cloak in one hand and waving a long sword in the other. The dense arrows were swept in all directions, and fell into the river with a puff. The strings of the boat rattled on the bow of the boat, and in a moment the arrows were densely inserted.
Wang Yuan struggled to rock the oars without distraction, and he didn't care to see if the arrows would shoot him, in short, Gongsun Lan was in front of him, and he had to row the boat out of range when she was exhausted. The boat rushed out of the shore at a rapid pace, and with the help of the current, it was soon dozens of paces away. The farther the distance, the worse the accuracy of the arrow. Although the arrows were still dense, there were very few that threatened the range of the boat, and most of them were fired into the river. Suddenly, the bows and arrows on the shore stopped firing, and the rebel cavalry on the shore seemed to think that they could not shoot, so they gave up shooting.
Gongsun Lan was also exhausted, and it was already exhausting to carry Wang Yuan to gallop, and he was preoccupied with blocking the arrows, and he didn't dare to be distracted a little, which was even more expensive. As soon as the arrow stopped, she sat on the string of the boat and gasped violently.
Wang Yuan gasped and laughed loudly, pointed at Gongsun Lan and said: "Cousin, I have never seen you look so decadent, look at you, you are like a madman." ”
Gongsun Lan hurriedly stretched out his head to take a look at the reflection of the river next to him, and found that he was indeed scattered, and his face was covered with blood and dust, which was simply not the same. Suddenly, he turned his head away with a sigh of anger, and said angrily: "Don't laugh, don't watch." ”
After that, he reached out and took out the silk handkerchief from his arms and was about to clean the dirt on his face, but he felt strange when he saw Wang Yuan's grinning teeth, and asked again, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Wang Yuan raised his feet and said, "Look at my boots." ”
Gongsun Lan couldn't help but laugh when she saw it, the leather boots on Wang Yuan's feet had been worn to shreds, and Wang Yuan's two big toes were exposed, and the flesh and blood on them were blurred. Gongsun Lan suddenly understood, dragging him to run just now, Wang Yuan's two feet rubbed on the ground, so that his boots were worn out and his toes were broken.
"Sorry, but the toes are still there." Gongsun Lan said with a smile.
Wang Yuan moved his big toe and said, "It seems that they are still there, but they have suffered a little." ”
Gongsun Lan was about to bandage the silk handkerchief to Wang Yuan, and said with a smile: "If you don't learn martial arts well, otherwise how can you do this?" I taught you the mantra a few years ago, and I haven't seen you practice it for a day. ”
Wang Yuan smiled and retracted his feet and said, "That's it, you don't need to bandage, it's okay." What my cousin said is that I want to be my cousin's good apprentice in the future. ”
Gongsun Lan glared at him, but her face was full of sweetness. Just as he was about to speak, he heard shouts from the shore. The two of them hurriedly stared at the shore, only to see that the rebel commander had also arrived at Matouben, and the shore was densely packed with horse infantry, and there were tens of thousands of people.
"Wait for the Tang army to listen, my generalissimo of the Great Yan State to conquer the south is solemn here. I heard that the Tang Dynasty Prime Minister Wang Yuan is on the other side, please come out and talk to my generalissimo. Someone on the shore shouted.
Wang Yuan slowly stood up and shouted loudly: "I am Wang Yuan." Is that Mr. Yan on the other side? It turned out that the old people met, and we knew that we should reminisce about the past. ”
Yan Zhuang rode on the horse, his face was very annoyed. But he was a personable man, and he still had a smile on his lips. Hearing Wang Yuan's reply, Yan Zhuang also replied loudly: "It turns out that it is really Wang Yuan, but we are indeed old friends." I haven't seen you for a few years, but I didn't expect you to be the Tang Xiangguo, amazing. In the past, when we met in the city of Youzhou, I solemnly knew that you were not a thing in the pool. ”
Wang Yuan laughed and said, "Does Mr. Yan remember what happened in Youzhou City back then? Then you must also remember the events in the Jiming Mountain Canyon, and even remember the fact that you colluded with the Xi soldiers and horses to intercept and kill me. Didn't Mr. Yan see that I wasn't a thing in the pool? So you were going to strangle me, a thing that wasn't in the pool, in the pool? ”
Yan Zhuang stroked his beard and said loudly: "Wang Xiangguo, you don't dare to blame me for these things, but they are all their own masters, but I don't have any personal grudges against you Wang Xiangguo." But what I didn't expect was that this time it was you, Wang Xiangguo, who led the troops to break through my pot and attack the three cities in a row, and relieved the siege of Pingyuan City. Yes, I should have thought that it was you, except for you Wang Xiangguo, who could have such courage and ability. This time you succeeded once again, escaping from the palms of my army of 50,000, and I don't know what to say. ”
Wang Yuan laughed and said: "Mr. Yan doesn't have to be frustrated, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers." You've planted me twice, and it's not much. Maybe we'll have a chance to fight each other next time. When the time comes, you can find a way to turn it over. It's just that I don't know if your Emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom will spare you this time, it is said that he has been in a very bad temper recently. ”
Yan Zhuang frowned and was silent, he was also worried about this. The escape of 50,000 Tang soldiers and civilians is not an unacceptable thing for Yan Zhuang, but it will definitely be difficult to explain after he returns. This Wang Yuan didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he broke through the worries in his heart with one word.
"Hahaha, you don't have to worry about it, it's okay for me to be convicted by the Emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom. Originally, I heard that you were the leader today, and I really wanted to catch up with you, but now it seems that you must not want to, right? ”
Wang Yuan smiled: "It's not that I don't want to, I don't dare." Your Mr. Yan's subordinates are very fierce, and I was drowned in one of the 50,000 troops who spat at each mouthful. There's really nothing to talk about between you and me, so I think we'd better leave it at that. If you don't see each other, what do you say? Mr. Yan? ”
"Yes, I wish I never saw you, because I would never want you to die at my hands. You're one of those people I admire, and I don't want to do that. Yan solemnly sighed.
Wang Yuan laughed and said: "Mr. Yan, I don't mind if you die at my hands, I will be devoted to my friends, and I will be merciless to my enemies." No matter who he is, I will not be soft-hearted. Mr. Yan, you'd better not meet me in the future, and you can't do it again and again, this is the second time you have led troops to kill me, and the third time I will kill you. ”
Yan Zhuang laughed loudly and said: "There is a saying that there are only three things, you have escaped twice, and you will not be able to escape if you meet me again the third time." ”
Wang Yuan laughed and arched his hand: "That's it, it's useless to quarrel, let's see the real chapter when we see each other again." I plan to cross the river to have a good breakfast and a good night's sleep. Mr. Yan, take your leave. ”
Yan Zhuang returned the salute from afar, and watched with sharp eyes as Wang Yuan's boat and dozens of ferries gradually moved away along the current. After a while, he finally sighed lightly, retracted his gaze and shouted in a deep voice: "Pass the order, withdraw the troops back to Luoyang." ”
