Chapter 476: Ambush
"Lihua—" Yang Jian wanted to stop Yang Lihua from leaving, but the latter left her with only a slender, lonely and cold back. The cold wind blew away Yang Jian's hair that fell in front of his eyes, revealing his somewhat dim eyes full of pain, struggle, and sadness.
For a long time, it was not until Yang Lihua's figure completely disappeared into the night that Yang Jian withdrew his gaze. He sighed a little abruptly, and his eyes quickly returned to their former calmness and firmness.
"Drive!"
Taking a deep look in the direction of Pingyang City, Yang Jian no longer stayed, and clamped the horse's belly hard, the horse was in pain, and its four hooves moved, rushing into the twilight like the wind, leaving only his firm and cold voice in the air.
"Happy, today's hatred, today's shame, one day I will get it back from you one by one."
There is no greater mourning than death. This sentence completely confirmed Yang Lihua's state of mind at this time. She had fantasized about seeing her father countless times, but she never imagined that this meeting would be like this.
It's better not to see each other than to see each other. For several months, Yang Lihua had trouble sleeping and eating, always keeping Yang Jian's safety in mind, and repeatedly begged Xing Xing to be able to open up to him, who would have thought that Yang Jian would use himself to blackmail Xing Xing tonight.
In Yang Jian's eyes, she was just a tool that could be used, an item that he could sacrifice at any time. The interests of the wealthy families are entangled, and the family affection is already thin, but Yang Jian's approach tonight is to brutally destroy the only remaining warmth in Yang Lihua's heart, leaving nothing behind.
Three years ago, in order to consolidate the family's position and gain higher power, Yang Jian agreed to marry Yang Lihua to the infamous and incompetent Yu Wenyun as a concubine. If this is the destined fate of the children of wealthy families, then Yang Jian's actions tonight are outrageous.
When the cold steel knife was on her neck, Yang Lihua fully felt its sharpness and coldness, and even felt the faint murderous aura from Yang Jian. For Yang Jian, her presence is not only a disgrace to the family, but also affects the intimate relationship between the Yang family and the Yuwen family.
I don't know when the fierce cold wind dissipated, and snowflakes began to fall in the hazy sky. The clean blood flower looks so wonderful, but it is so fragile, just like Yang Lihua's heart, it is full of cracks, and it will be broken if you are not careful.
"Brother Xing—"
The tears have long since dried up, I don't know if they are dried or my heart is dead, there are no tears in my eyes, and there are no tears in my heart. The fine teeth bit her lower lip, and Yang Lihua ran quickly on the vast wilderness, constantly calling for joy in her heart. Only in this way can her cold and numb heart feel the slightest warmth.
……
"Yuwen Lao'er, get out, your Grandpa Cheng is here, do you dare to fight me for three hundred rounds?"
Dozens of miles west of Pingyang, Cheng Yanjin swung his knife and slashed a Zhou soldier who tried to attack him to the ground, and suddenly shouted loudly. He is already as strong as an ox, and he is rough by nature, and this voice will come out, which can be described as a sonic shock, like a tiger roaring and a dragon groaning.
Cheng Yanjin had long been eager to try, wanting to fight with the Zhou army, but the Zhou army always avoided without fighting, fled again and again, happy and strictly ordered not to be greedy for merit, because he kept praying along the way, hoping to meet Zhou Jun.
Now, the Marquis of Zhou Jun was halfway there, and he wanted to kill them by surprise, and he was fulfilling Cheng Biting Jin's wish, this guy was not surprised and rejoiced, and when Xiao Maha led the army to meet the Zhou army, he also urged the Modao Army to rush towards the Zhou army frantically.
When he came, he deliberately emphasized that Cheng Yanjin should stay on the flank, always on guard against the surprise attack of the Zhou army, but as soon as he saw the Zhou army appear, this guy put the happy order behind him, and led the crowd to quickly rush towards the Zhou army as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
When a fire broke out in Pingyang, Wei Xiaokuan and Liang Shiyan realized that this was an excellent opportunity to fight back. Without too much hesitation, Wei Xiaokuan ordered the two thousand old, weak, sick and disabled to carry more torches and continue to hurry, while the others stayed where they were and waited for Xiao Maha's arrival.
The plan is a good plan, but the Zhou army did not achieve the desired results, whether it was Xiao Maha's prudence or the swiftness of the Qi army's response, it was beyond their expectations. If it was Cheng Yanjin, an impatient and rude guy who led the army, Wei Xiaokuan would definitely be able to catch him off guard and cause great losses to the Qi army.
However, it was Xiao Maha who led the way, so that's a different story. Although the sudden appearance of Zhou Jun still surprised Xiao Maha, they couldn't take advantage of their leisurely work. Although Wei Xiaokuan has tried his best to refute the rumors and boost the morale of the army, the rumors in the city still caused turmoil to the morale of the Zhou army, and Yu Wenyong's serious illness and Jinyang's defeat cast a shadow on their hearts, and their morale was not as good as before.
The number of people on both sides is similar, and the combat strength is not far away, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner in this fierce battle. However, when Cheng Yanjin joined the battle with five thousand Mo sword troops, the stalemate of the battle soon tilted towards Xiao Maha's side.
Historically, the Mo Dao Army of the Tang Dynasty was fierce and unforged, and there were few enemies, and there were two reasons for this. First, the Mo knife is thick and sharp, and it is a rare killing weapon in the world; Second, the Modao Army is all one in a thousand warriors, strong and healthy, and their strength is amazing.
Although the Modao army is an infantry, they can compete with the light cavalry and win the battle. The reason why the Tang Dynasty was able to dominate the four seas and make the barbarians surrender was because of the Modao army. It's just that the Mo knife is too heavy, and the requirements for soldiers are too harsh, which leads to its inability to be popularized, and it can't be used to attack fortifications.
Historically, in order for the Modao Army to preserve its abundant physical strength at all times and speed up its movement, there was a special convoy to carry them, which shows that the Modao is heavy.
Now the Mo knife equipped by Cheng Biting Gold Department is a variety that Xingxing should have entered, whether it is the smelting technology of steel or the forging level of the blade, it is not the same as the Tang Dynasty in history. The Mo knife produced by Happy is more sharp and hard, but the weight is several times lighter, so that the Mo Knife Army formed by Happy is not only strong in combat, but also greatly reduces the disadvantages of being unable to attack tough problems and moving quickly.
With the addition of the Modao Army, the Qi army became more and more courageous, advancing layer by layer, but the Zhou army was forced to retreat continuously, screaming again and again. An inch long, an inch strong. The huge Mo knife is thick and sharp, and it has an advantage in distance, in the case of one-on-one, it is difficult for Zhou Jun to be their opponent, and if he is not careful, he will be cut into two sections by Mo Dao with a knife, and his death is not miserable.
"General Wunaqi, don't be rampant, let Ben meet you in the future!" Seeing Cheng Biting Jin shouting loudly and looking like no one in his eyes, Zhou Junzhong suddenly rode out of a young general, holding two swords, and rushed towards Cheng Biting Jin with murderous anger and roared.
"The one who inserts the label and sells the head, quickly send your dog's head!"
In this kung fu, more than ten people have died under Cheng Biting Jin's knife, but they are all ordinary Zhou soldiers, and few people can make a move in his hands, which makes him very depressed when he is preparing for a big battle. Now seeing someone who was obviously an officer rushing towards him, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but burst into excitement with his eyes and screamed.
"Wow, madman, I'm angry with me, I'm going to die!" That Zhou Jiang suddenly jumped like thunder, shouted wah, urged the war horse, and ran to Cheng Yanjin in the blink of an eye, and the double swords in his hands were like a pair of scissors and went straight to the latter's throat.
"Hey!" Cheng Yanjin was not afraid, sneered, and saw the momentum of General Zhou's double swords, and when he was still three feet away from the front door, his body fell straight and backwards, but the extra-large Mo knife in his hand slashed towards General Zhou from the bottom up.
Cheng Biting Jin's move had no warning before, and the angle was very tricky, and Zhou Zhou was blinded by anger, and he didn't notice it for a while, and the whole person almost crashed into Cheng Biting Jin's Mo knife. However, he also has some ability, twisted his body at the critical moment, and although he finally avoided the end of being disemboweled, the armor on his chest was still opened a long gap, and a shallow red mark appeared on his chest.
That week, the general dodged the fatal blow of biting Jin, and he was shocked into a cold sweat, the anger in his eyes suddenly dissipated a lot, and his eyes were full of vigilance and solemnity when he looked at Cheng Biting Jin.
Although Cheng Biting Jin is rough and impatient, this does not mean that he does not use his brains. In fact, he is coarse and detailed, especially when fighting with others, he has the ability to adapt that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
One move was useless, the loss in Cheng Yanjin's eyes flashed, he opened his big mouth and laughed, the Mo knife in his hand was raised, and he took the initiative to rush towards Zhou Jiang: "Dog, hide quickly, come again!" ”
"Death, madman!" Although he knew that Cheng Biting Jin had the intention of provoking him, Zhou Jiang still couldn't stop his anger, roared, and swung his sword again to meet him. However, this time he was much more cautious, and he tried his best to fight steadily, but he also had dealings with Cheng Yanjin, and he did not fall behind in a short period of time.
"Kill!"
"The Qi army is defeated, the Qi army is defeated! Kill! ”
Just when Cheng Yanjin and General Zhou were in the middle of the battle, an earth-shattering shouting suddenly came from behind him.
Xiao Maha was suddenly startled, and when he looked back, he saw that a black pressure suddenly appeared in the twilight to suppress a Zhou army, and he was murderously killing behind him. Needless to say, this is another wave of ambushes prepared by Wei Xiaokuan, with about 10,000 people.
"Cheng bites Jin, the whole army goes back to meet the enemy!" Xiao Maha looked back at the battlefield and finally saw Cheng Yanjin, who was fighting excitedly with General Zhou, and couldn't help shouting angrily.
Along the way, Xiao Maha repeatedly told Cheng Yanjin not to rush forward and make his own decisions, but the latter still did not obey the order and rushed forward. Now, the Zhou army ambushed the soldiers from behind and surrounded the Qi army, although Xiao Maha was not afraid and did not believe that he would fail, but it was an indisputable fact that he fell into passivity, and what worried him the most was the damage to the soldiers.
Hearing Xiao Maha's roar, Cheng Yanjin was clever, and now he also knows that he has made a mistake. Cheng Yanjin suddenly screamed, his body twisted to dodge General Zhou's blow, and at the same time, the Mo knife in his hand cut off the head of the opponent's war horse with a "poof".
"Ahh
The war horse fell to the ground, and the body of the general could no longer maintain his balance and fell to the ground, Cheng bit the golden eyes and was fast, and with a flash of the knife, a good head rose to the sky, and the warm blood spilled his head and face, making him look more powerful and fierce.
"Mo Dao Army, come with me, kill the shameless Zhou thief without leaving a piece of armor, kill!" After solving the Zhou general, Cheng Biting Jin stopped staying, and rode his horse back to the rear. Following his order, the five thousand Mo sword troops suddenly roared in unison and slaughtered the Zhou army attacking behind them.
