Chapter Eighty-Eight: Desperate Teaching
After Efei's Imperial Forest Army joined, it greatly strengthened Yi Heng's strength, and his soldiers numbered more than 700 people, which also gave Yi Heng some understanding of the background clues of the assassins. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"According to what we have found, the assassin's name is Ling Helai, an old friend of Kim Jong-lei. The Assassin assassinated the Emperor with a short sword pre-fired in a fish plate. Efei told Yiheng about the background of the assassin and the assassination process.
Where do you know about these situations? It used to be all hearsay, where do you know the truth? Because after the assassination of the first emperor, Chen went to the sick and stole the throne, so he said that he was the culprit behind it; Kim Jong-lei was promoted to generalissimo, and he said that he had arranged the assassins. However, I didn't expect the truth to be indifferent from hearsay, is it a coincidence?
"After Chen Quai's usurpation of the throne, what credit did Kim Jong-lei have? In one day, he went from a small general soldier to the rank of generalissimo. At that time, we speculated that the assassin must have been arranged by Kim Jong-lei. It seems that this is the case. In this case, the Assassin must flee in the direction of the Anhai Customs. Yi Heng smiled and nodded to E Fei.
"General B is right!" E Fei laughed.
"General E, you take your headquarters to chase from the main road, and I will take my troops and horses to search from the small road. Let's meet at the An'an Customs. Yi Heng Fei ordered.
E Fei promised to lead his troops back and chase after him from the main road, while Yi Heng led his troops into a mountain path.
Yiheng chased for another day and chased out more than 200 miles. The next day, a spy came and reported: "General B, we have found traces of the Assassins in the mountains twenty miles ahead. Our men are still quietly following the Assassins. ”
Hearing this, Otoko hurriedly ordered the cavalry to whip up and gallop, making sure to catch up with the assassins. There were fifty cavalrymen under Otoko, the rest were infantry, and the infantry rushed behind.
Yi Heng led fifty cavalry to hurry fifty miles, when another spy came back and reported: "The assassin is two miles ahead." Yi Heng heard this, overjoyed, and ordered: "Chase!" Capture the Assassins! ”
At this time, he chased out five miles, and saw a man running forward at a moderate speed on the mountain path a mile ahead, when the man seemed to hear the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, and looked back, only to see a long stream of smoke dragged up behind him, and rolled towards him, and gradually approached. In a panic, he hurriedly whipped his horse twice, and the horse immediately roared and galloped, and at once threw the cavalry of Yiheng far away.
Yi Hengdu had already seen the back of the assassin, how could he give up, and ordered the cavalry to chase after him quickly, and he also rode his horse to chase after him. It was a mountain trail, winding and winding, and the Assassin ran in front of him, coming and going, and Otoheng clung to it from behind, chasing after him, while his cavalry was left far behind. After chasing for dozens of miles, seeing that he had caught up, Yiheng shouted from behind: "Dog assassin, don't stop yet!" You can't run anymore! ”
The person in front of him was Ling Helai, he heard the shouting behind him was close, looked back, and saw that there was only one person and one rider, so he was not very busy, he turned his horse back, pointed at Yi Heng with his sword and sneered: "Just you alone?" ”
At this time, Yi Heng had already come to the front, and swept towards Ling He with a thunderous force. Ling Helai was not in a hurry, raised his sword and swiped lightly, only to see a flash of cold light, a click, the sword in Ling Helai's hand was not damaged, and the halberd in Yi Heng's hand had been broken into two, and the halberd head flew out a long way with a swish, and pierced into a tree next to it with a pop. The bluffing Yiheng was shocked, hurriedly led the horse to jump out three feet away, threw the half halberd rod in his hand on the ground, grabbed the carved bow from behind his back, and was about to mount the arrow and use the bow and arrow to control the enemy.
Unexpectedly, Ling Helai suddenly caught up, and at some point he arrived at Yi Heng's side, swung his sword and slashed at Yi Heng, as fast as lightning, which frightened the latter's soul away, and he ran back with his horse's hooves, rolling up smoke and dust all the way.
When he heard that the assassin had assassinated the emperor and escaped from the encirclement of the 3,000 Imperial Foresters, he was very unconvinced, and felt that the assassin was really a fluke, because he was not at the scene, otherwise how could he have succeeded. So he kept holding on to the idea of meeting this assassin for a while to see how many pounds and taels he had. Without admitting it, he was beaten by this assassin and fled.
When Ling He came to see this, he didn't chase after him, but laughed and said, "It's so useless, you still want to catch me?" So saying, he pulled back the horse's head and continued to run.
That Yi Heng ran out half a mile, and saw that the assassin did not chase, so he made up his mind and wanted to return to the horse and chase again, at this time the back fifty horsemen had arrived, Yi Heng thought of his embarrassment just now, so he was angry with the soldiers, and scolded angrily: "So slow! What assassins are you chasing? Do you want the assassins to wait for you? ”
When the soldiers saw that Yi Heng was embarrassed and thought that the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand had been lost, they guessed that Yi Heng had fought with the assassins and was defeated, and if they wanted to take them out, they didn't dare to make a sound, let him scold, but they snickered in their hearts.
Yi Heng scolded enough, and continued to follow the assassin Ling He with fifty horsemen. After learning Ling Helai's bravery and the sharpness of his sword, he didn't dare to be too ahead of the group this time. After chasing for forty or fifty miles, he suddenly heard a fierce fighting and shouting in front of him, turned a mountain bend, and saw more than 30 people besieging one person on the flat ground a mile away. Yi set up a pergola with his hands and looked closely, and could identify the thirty people as Efei's Imperial Forest Army, and that one person was the assassin Ling Helai.
It seemed that E Fei had rushed to the front of the assassin from the main road to stop him, and to see where the assassin could run, Yi Heng was overjoyed. He ordered his soldiers to rush over to help in the battle, and to catch the assassin in one fell swoop.
The short mile road arrived in the blink of an eye, but in the blink of an eye, the battlefield ahead had changed considerably. By the time Otoheng arrived at the battlefield, the battle was over.
The first master of the Great Chen Kingdom, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army of Zheng Erpin, has fallen to the ground and died, and the Imperial Forest Army under his command is also scattered, and the assassins don't know what to do...
Seeing Yi Heng and his troops arrive, the Imperial Forest Army scattered behind the forest stones came out one after another, and reported to Yi Heng: "General E led us to chase all the way from the main road, and here we met the Assassin Ling He, we surrounded and wanted to capture the Assassin, during the fight, General E cut off one of the assassin's arms, but was stabbed to death by the assassin's flying sword. The Assassin escaped with serious injuries! ”
Yi Heng was shocked when he saw that E Fei was dead, and hurriedly turned over and jumped off his horse, and came to E Fei's body, where he saw him lying on his back on the ground with the short sword stuck between his neck. Yiheng mourned in silence for half a minute, and said in his heart: "General E, thank you for giving me this credit desperately!" If I have glory and riches, I will take care of your family. ”
Then he bent down and pulled out the short sword from E Fei's body, wiped the blood stains on it with the placket of his clothes, and looked closely, only to see that the sword was flickering with cold light, extremely sharp. Oyoko gasped. When he turned back and saw a blood-drenched severed arm not far away, it must have been the assassin Ling He, so he raised his foot and kicked the broken arm away with all his strength, and scolded hatefully: "Dog assassin, you also have today!" ”
For a while, Yi Heng put away his sword and ordered the two royal forest soldiers to say: "Bury General E!" Catch up with us when you're done. Then he ordered the rest of the soldiers: "That assassin is so badly wounded that he must not be able to run far." Follow me. When he had finished speaking, he flew on his horse and rode forward, and the soldiers got on their horses and followed.
