Chapter 7: The Mountain of Corpses and the Sea of Blood (3)
After four months of fighting in the south and the north, from the defeat of Pyongyang to the surprise attack on the town of Shidoshan.
Yuan was panicked from the beginning of the Tiger Guard, and there was no rules to speak of, but now, with just one order, he can fight at any time.
This contains their incomparable trust in Zheng Yanqing.
Zheng Yanqing got up, made a silent gesture, and then spread his arms outward. Eighty-two Yuan Conghu Wei immediately understood what he meant, put down his spear, carried a bow and a knife, and disappeared into the darkness of the forest. And the baggage soldiers, under the leadership of Zheng Huai'an, pacified the horses and held them in the mouths of the horses to avoid making noises.
It's all slow to say, but it's done in the blink of an eye.
The forest suddenly fell silent, Zheng Yanqing crossed the bow and whip, and hid with Xie Ke in the shadows of the two big trees. The majestic sea Kan Ling was ambushed on both sides of the forest path, looking out of the forest vigilantly. The figure flickered, and Shen Guang jumped down from the tree and came to Zheng Yanqing's side.
"Brigade Marshal Dou found a group of men and horses, coming this way."
"Can you hide properly?"
"Lvmarshal Dou has been hiding in the mountain pass, observing the movement of people...... He said that there were not many people, about a dozen people, just wandering outside the mountain. ”
More than a dozen people?
Doesn't sound like a lot!
Maybe it's the Scout Squad of the Goguryeos, though?
"Tell Dou Xiaowen that he must not act without authorization. If anyone comes into the mountain, let them come; If a follow-up enemy force follows, immediately launch a Mingdi, and then retreat in the direction of Changkou Town. ”
Shen Guang didn't say a word, and a rope appeared in his hand.
The brush is shaken open and wrapped around the branches. The body is like a nimble swallow, rippling with the rope, and disappearing into the dense foliage in the blink of an eye.
Meat Flying Fairy has three uniques: exquisite knife skills and good at fighting; Clever riding, unity of man and horse; The body is as light as a swallow, and it comes and goes without a trace.
It's just that he rarely shows his skills, especially the third ability, which is even less known.
A rope can climb the high city wall, if you walk on the flat ground. It was with this kung fu that Shen Guang was able to bring Jindeman out of Hibiscus Town unconsciously. After he disappeared, Xie Ke and Zheng Hongyi couldn't help but sigh again.
"Yanqing, you're really powerful......
Yan Qing smiled slightly and made a silent gesture.
Xie Ke and the others immediately closed their mouths and looked out through the gap in the forest.
The moonlight is like a wash, sprinkled on the mountain paths, like a layer of silver-white light veil. The mountains are silent, only the mountain wind is whistling, and the branches are swaying. Occasionally, there would be a few nightingales chirping, which added a bit of weirdness and coldness. Suddenly, several black shadows rose into the sky, croaking in the air, but it was the night birds that inhabited the mountains flapping their wings. Apparently, someone walked into the mountain trail, which alarmed the night birds.
More than a dozen people appeared on the trail.
In the bright moonlight, the people who came were all ragged and looked very embarrassed.
Three on horseback, the rest on foot...... Horseback riders, scrawny mounts; Walkers, even more staggering. They walked cautiously on the path. The leader got off his horse, raised his long knife, and motioned for the soldiers behind him to stop, as if hesitating.
Look at the dress, it is the costume of the Sui army.
But most of them are dressed as sailors, as if they are the men and horses under the command of Hu'er before.
Zheng Yanqing was puzzled, when he suddenly heard the person led by Lin Wai ask: "Dare to ask, which general is under Lin Zhong?" ”
The voice is slightly hoarse and full of exhaustion.
However, when you hear it, it seems quite familiar.
Zheng Yanqing waved his hand and signaled that Yuan Conghuwei was not allowed to act without authorization. Then quietly observe each other...... It's just that they wandered outside the forest, a little far away, so that they couldn't see their faces clearly. Zheng Yanqing is also hesitating, should he rush out and meet the other party?
The visitor spoke Chinese, but with a very pronounced dialect accent.
"Dare to ask, where are the centaurs in the forest?"
Zheng Yanqing still didn't respond, but Zheng Hongyi on the side lowered his voice and said, "Yanqing, that person's voice is a little familiar." ”
"I'll go out to meet them, and here you are, don't act rashly."
As Zheng Yanqing spoke, he walked out of the shadows and walked slowly along the forest path. As soon as he appeared, the people who came immediately noticed it. I saw that the person who spoke for the first time pressed down with his palm, signaling the person behind him not to act, and then looked at Yan Qing.
Zheng Yanqing stood in the shadow of the forest, "Where did you come from?" Quote your name. ”
When the visitor heard Zheng Yanqing's voice, his body trembled slightly, and then he said with surprise and excitement, and asked in a trembling voice: "You, is it Zheng Gongzi?" ”
Zheng Yanqing was startled, subconsciously took a step back, raised his hand and pulled out the silver whip.
"Who are you waiting for, sign up quickly, and don't make a mistake."
"I, I, I'm Feng Can, Lingnan Feng Can...... All put away their weapons, and in the forest was Zheng Gongzi. "The person who came was very surprised, and he stammered a little. But fortunately, he quickly calmed down, and the Sui army that followed behind him immediately followed and put down his weapons.
Feng Jing?
Zheng Yanqing suddenly failed to remember the origin of the other party.
However, Zheng Hongyi followed and whispered in his ear: "It's the second son of the Lingnan Feng family, the little follower of Feng Zhiyu." ”
Zheng Yanqing was surprised and walked out of the forest.
In the moonlight, he looked closely. But I saw that Feng Jing was covered with dirt, and he didn't have the slightest impression of the delicate appearance. Dressed in a battle robe, stained with blood, I can't tell what color it is. I don't know how long my hair hasn't been washed, so that it looks sticky in one place, like a small braid.
If it weren't for the yellow horse beside him, Zheng Yanqing really wouldn't have recognized who he was.
"Feng Guo, didn't you go north with Mu Yi a few months ago? Why are you still here? Like this again? ”
Feng Jing also recognized Zheng Yanqing and rushed over excitedly.
But when he got close to Zheng Yanqing, he stopped again.
"Zheng Gongzi, is it really you?"
"Slow, slow, why are you here?"
Feng Jing's appearance was too sudden, and Zheng Yanqing was completely unprepared. He took a step back and stared at Feng Jing vigilantly.
It's no wonder that he didn't follow Mai Zizhong and Feng Zhiyu, but he appeared in Sanshuiyuan with a group of Sui soldiers, which was strange in itself.
At this time, in this situation, in this environment, Zheng Yanqing really didn't dare to take it lightly, let alone trust the other party easily. At this moment, Shen Guang appeared from a distance and soon came to Zheng Yanqing's side. He whispered a few words in his ear, Zheng Yanqing nodded, and motioned for Shen Guang to stand aside.
"Feng Guo, what's going on with you?"
Before Feng Jing could speak, tears flowed down first.
I saw that he looked excited, walked two steps quickly, and knelt down in front of Zheng Yanqing with a plop: "Zheng Gongzi, please save my second son." ”
"Your second son?"
Zheng Yanqing blurted out: "What's wrong with Feng Zhiyu? ”
When Feng Jing heard this, she immediately burst into tears.
The cry was eerie, some high-pitched and high-pitched, not like a man's voice. However, his voice has always been like this, and Zheng Yanqing didn't care. What he was more concerned about now was, why did Feng Jing appear here? Where are Feng Zhiju, Mai Zizhong and others now?
"My second son-in-law, and Mr. Mai...... Caught by the Goguryeo people! ”
"Huh?"
Zheng Yanqing was taken aback, and he couldn't care about the smell on Feng Jing's body, so he hurriedly stepped forward and picked him up, "Don't worry, follow me to the forest to talk...... Rest where you are. Zheng Huai'an, prepare some dry food and water, so that everyone can breathe a sigh of relief. ”
Zheng Huaian immediately walked out of the forest with people.
The Sui army, who followed Feng Jing, sat down on the spot one by one, tired, took the food and water from Zheng Huai'an and others, and devoured it. Feng Jing followed Zheng Yanqing into the forest, Yan Qing whistled, and Yuan Conghuwei also relaxed.
Looking at those vigorous and energetic Yuan Conghuwei, Feng Jing was inexplicably annoyed in his heart.
Knowing this, he should have persuaded the second son to follow Zheng Yanqing in the first place. Although the people were not able to evacuate, they were very energetic when they looked at it. Those people like themselves are embarrassed one by one, like rats crossing the street. In the end, I still asked to go to someone's house...... Zheng Hongyi took the food and handed it to Feng Jing.
Feng Jing was so hungry that after saying thank you, he immediately devoured it.
A piece of dry bread with meat in the belly, the heart is much more steady. He just started to explain to Zheng Yanqing what happened to them along the way.
After Dachengshan and Zheng Yanqing broke up, Mu Yi and Ma Yuan took Feng Zhiyu and others all the way north.
In the beginning, they went very smoothly and absorbed about six or seven hundred remnants of the defeated army. With so many people gathered in one place, the goal also became bigger. After Mu Yi and others discussed, the surname Suo no longer hid his whereabouts, and went all the way to conquer, raiding and plundering military villages, destroying villages and towns, and killing no less than 1,000 Goguryeo soldiers and civilians in their hands...... Gradually, Mu Yi and the others began to become proud.
The defeat of Pyongyang is not a crime of war!
Mu Yi even wanted to lead people to counterattack Pyongyang, but was dissuaded by Feng Zhiyu and others.
However, when Gao Jianwu led his troops to start the pursuit, Mu Yi and the others began to have a bad time. First, the Goguryeo people began to set up checkpoints to block the passages; The coast of Sashui is even more under the strict defense of Yizhisheng, like Jinchi Tangcheng, which is difficult to pass.
Mu Yi and Ma Yuan even confronted the Goguryeo people and horses who were following the pursuit several times.
From the beginning of the upper hand, to the later concentration of Gao Jianwu's troops, the Sui army suffered heavy casualties. Mu Yi was shot and killed by the Goguryeo people on the bank of the Sasu River in a battle. In order to avenge Mu Yi, Ma Yuan slaughtered three villages and towns in a row, and then was ambushed by Yizhisheng and almost all the troops were wiped out.
Mai Zizhong and Feng Zhijun led more than 100 people to fight their way out of the encirclement.
But when crossing the river, he was caught up by Gao Jianwu and surrounded by others. Mai Zizhong and Feng Zhijun were injured and captured by Gao Jianwu; Feng Jing was in charge of taking care of Huang Huma before, coupled with his strong martial arts, with more than 30 people, he escaped from Gao Jianwu's hands.
But after escaping, Feng Jing was also stunned!
She didn't know where to go, so she had to flee with a group of defeated soldiers.
Fortunately, Yu Zhongwen led his troops to cross the Yalu River and attack the Korean Road, which made the situation of Feng Jing and others more or less better.
But even so, running all the way, more than 30 people in the end, only more than 10 people remained.
Feng Jing said that he was sad, and couldn't help crying again: "I regret that I shouldn't have listened to Zheng Gongzi's words in the first place, I thought that General Yu Zhongwen could capture Pyongyang and rescue the second prince and Mai Gongzi...... Unexpectedly, as soon as I came out, I heard bad news. We didn't know what to do, so we had to sneak around Pyongyang. Some time ago, when I heard that Wonsan was attacked, I guessed which of the soldiers and horses that had fallen to Goguryeo did it? Yesterday, we wanted to come out to find some food, but we didn't think about it, but we found a fire in Shiduoshan Town...... Therefore, I had hope to catch up and see who was leading the troops.
Didn't expect ......"
Zheng Yanqing was speechless!
Or negligence!
was followed, and he didn't even notice it.
Fortunately, it's my own people, if it's a Goguryeo person, tonight will be dangerous.
Zheng Yanqing had the heart to comfort, but he didn't know where to start. He beckoned Zheng Hongyi to come over, and commanded in a low voice, "Go over and check their equipment." Change them into the clothes and armor of the Goguryeo people, and change the weapons that should be replaced. ”
Zheng Hongyi nodded and took the order.
"Feng Guo, what are your plans now?"
"I beg Zheng Gongzi to read the love of the robe and save my son-in-law from the sea of suffering."
Feng Jing spoke, knelt in front of Zheng Yanqing again, "If the son can save my son-in-law, Feng Jing is willing to be a slave ......"
This is a man of integrity.
Zheng Yanqing thought for a while, "Then do you know where Feng Er Gongzi and Mai Gongzi are being held?" ”
After the defeat, Feng Jing inquired.
After the second prince and Mai Gongzi were captured, they were detained with the rest of the Sui army in Lianshandu...... It's just that a lot of things happened later, and I don't know if they're still being held there. ”
"Lianshandu?"
When Zheng Yanqing heard this, he raised his eyebrows and took out the copy of the Sashui defense map from his arms.
Xie Ke immediately lit a fire and walked over to him. With the firelight, the two quickly found the location of Lianshandu.
It is located in the upper reaches of Sasui and is close to Sasui City.
Yan Qing's brows couldn't help but twist into the word 'Sichuan'. Raising his head, he glanced at Xie Ke and asked softly, "What do you think?" ”
"Lianshandu is nearly twenty miles away from Sashui City.
If we attack this place rashly, the Goguryeo people of Sasu City can arrive in an hour and a half...... That's a lot of danger. ”
"What do you think?"
"It's still according to the previous plan, let's hit Changkou Town first."
When Feng Jing heard this, he was shocked, "Gongzi Xie, you ......"
"Feng Guo, don't worry. When I said to fight Changkou Town, it wasn't because I didn't save your son-in-law. If you want to save your son-in-law, you must attack Changkou Town. ”
Feng Jing looked confused.
After Zheng Yanqing and Xie Ke glanced at each other, they all smiled in unison.
Yes, if you want to save Feng Zhiyu and Mai Zizhong, you must first fight Changkou Town. I just don't know, after the Changkou Town is laid, how many people's nerves will be stabbed?
Zheng Yanqing stood up and glanced at Feng Jing.
"You take your people and act with Hongyi. Feng Guo, I don't know if your son-in-law is still alive, but I want to tell you one thing, if you want to save your son-in-law, you must follow my orders. Otherwise, don't talk about me, don't talk about the friendship of robes. ”
Although Feng Jing didn't understand what the connection was between the attack on Changkou Town and the rescue of Feng Zhiyu.
But he also knows that Zheng Yanqing is his only hope.
So he got up and intervened and saluted, "Feng Jing is sure, only the son is the first to look forward!" ”
