Chapter 0536 Between Life and Death
In the spring dusk, the sun that is about to sink in the west reflects the sky a golden yellow, and the Tianzhu Village, which is fifteen miles northeast of Youzhou City, is clothed with a layer of ethereal and faint gold in the sunset. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Wenyuan River surrounds from the north of Tianzhuzhuang, the river surface under the sunset is sparkling, and the faint green on both sides of the river is interesting, and has been extending to the southeast Chaobai River.
When Yelu Chusi hurriedly evacuated the Qing Jin Gate and went down Guang'anmen Street to the Nanjing Left-behind Mansion, he urgently notified the guards on duty to follow him, and ran all the way to the Andong Gate to gather five or six thousand cavalry, and slowly marched north under the east city wall. When he arrived at the northeast corner of the city, Xiao Siwen led two or three thousand horsemen to gallop wildly, followed by the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves in the eastern suburbs.
Yelu Chusi realized that there was an ambush, and immediately fled to the north in front, and ordered Xiao Siwen to follow, to the east of Tianzhu Village, and saw the red-robed and black-armored forbidden army iron cavalry spreading out on the north bank of the river in turn, like a red and black mixed wall towering over the field to block the way. Behind him, Xiao Siwen's more than 3,000 horsemen followed, and in the distance, the yellow dust was all over the sky, the horn was whimpering, and the overlapping forbidden army cavalry had been fanned out in the south, pressing along the Wenrong River in the east and Tianzhuzhuang in the west.
"Chu Si! It's time for you and me to fight hard! Can we still fight? Xiao Siwen looked at the "high" character general flag erected in the wall on the north bank of the river, and had already guessed who the main general was, and his heart was anxious, but it was difficult to show it.
"Why not? Why should the Nan'er Horse Army be afraid? It is far from my Da Liao Iron Cavalry, but it is to seize the favorable terrain on the river bank first, if we cross the river, we will be attacked by the north and south, and there is Tianzhuzhuang to the west, so we might as well go east, through the Wangjing Pavilion to the north of Shunzhou and then make plans, how? Now surrounded on all sides, life and death are on the line, but Yelu Chusi still proposed quite calmly.
"The pillar of my uncle's country, you can go east as soon as possible, and my nephew Bru is willing to cut off the queen for you!" In front of Xiao Bolu, a large piece of iron armor rolled up and was covered with blood, and he held a mace that was still dripping blood, and roared loudly.
"Chu Sidu is in charge, go first! Ma and Buti are here, and they will not teach Nan'er to chase after the river! "Behind him, there were hundreds of horsemen galloping in the distance, and the leader was also a member of the royal family, named Yelu Nugu, who was brave and good at fighting and did not lose to Xiao Bolu.
"Very good! There are two rivers ahead, and once the horse speed is lifted, you must not stop! Go ......" Yelu Chusi pulled the horse stiff, and his legs urged the war horse to turn to the east, and the five or six thousand horsemen behind hurriedly trotted before the whole team could reach.
At this time, the iron cavalry of the forbidden army that followed from the south approached, and thousands of horses galloped to kill Yelu Nugu and Xiao Bulu, who were slowly moving on horseback, and most of the rest obviously saw the intention of the Liao army, and turned east in the south more than two miles away, and rushed to the bank of the Wenyuan River.
"Kill!" Yelu Nugu shouted, holding a curved bow and clasping an arrow, and Xiao Bolu each led four or five hundred horses, one left and one right to meet the Zhou cavalry who came to kill, seeing that when he was approaching, he suddenly rode his horse and walked diagonally, let go of the front and the Zhou cavalry, and at the same time opened his bow and released arrows, hundreds of horsemen behind him followed suit, a rain of arrows shot away, and the Zhou army fell off the horse dozens of horses.
But when it was about to stagger and rush over, the rear of the cavalry of the Zhou army suddenly stretched and rolled up to both sides, Yelu Nugu was caught off guard, and was blocked head-on, and hurriedly took off the flail from the horse, waving it left and right like a wheel, but the cavalry of the Zhou army was overwhelming, and had not yet killed through the array, and turned around and killed it back just after running over. At the moment when the encirclement was about to be formed, Yelu Nugu saw that the hundreds of horsemen of Xiao Bolu's tribe seemed to have suffered the same fate.
Once upon a time, the cavalry of the Zhou army would only rush and fight after three rounds of arrow rain, and now they actually played this hand "scorpion hook reversal", which surprised Yelu Nugu, but seeing that the cavalry of the Zhou army dared to play like this with superior strength, and the formation was very stiff. It was also when he saw Xiao Bulu that Yelu Nugu found a cavalry general of the Zhou army wearing brass mountain pattern armor.
About 100 steps away! Eighty steps! Yelu Nugu hung up the flail like lightning, and when she leaned forward, she picked up her bow in her hand, and the arrow in her mouth came up to her right hand, and she bowed down and shot an arrow horizontally.
Shout...... The powerful arrow passed through the gap between the two horses and penetrated the shoulder armor of Zhou Jiang, that Zhou shook his body, screamed in pain, his eyes were round and he turned around and rushed over, and he slashed down with both hands and rode head-on, as if he was not affected by the arrow wound at all. Eat a certain knife too! ”
Yelu Nugu backhanded a flail, opened the knife momentum of Zhou Jiang and wanted to go, suddenly felt a knife light behind him turned around, the war horse then neighed, inertia did not reduce and fell forward, Yelu Nugu hurriedly jumped off the horse, landed on the ground and raised the flail to block, in the sound of clanging, a spark of the blade and the iron handle of the flail flashed in front of him, the blade was cut to the junction of the iron chain and went down, and suddenly felt a huge pain in the shoulder and neck, and then the body involuntarily overturned.
A huge horse's hoof stepped down out of thin air, and Yelu Nu Guton felt a stuffiness in her chest, and the sticky hot and sweet liquid blurted out wildly, followed by a feeling of suffocation, and in the dizziness of the whirlwind, I heard a voice roaring angrily, "Hugh robbery!" This head is Shi someone's ......"
Am I going to die...... Youzhou is also lost! Completely lost...... Xiao Siwen is only scheming but in power, but it is a pity that Chu Silangjun ...... The last shred of Jerunugus' consciousness dissipated unwillingly.
Five miles east of Tianzhu Village, thousands of horsemen rushed into the river like flying, rushed through the deepest part of the center of the river with indomitable horsepower, and when they reached the opposite bank, the horse speed was resisted by the river, and finally slowed down, in the face of a rain of arrows, one hundred and ten horses fell off their horses and were washed away by the river, and the cavalry of the Zhou army of the brigade did not care about killing the river.
Seeing that Yelu Chusi had rushed ashore to kill the cavalry formation of the Zhou army, Xiao Siwen, who was left behind, was shocked, and hurriedly led the horse to flee south along the river bank, and suddenly saw a mudflat in front of him, but at this time, the war horse neighed, the front hooves were already deep in it, and suddenly fell to his knees, Xiao Siwen was caught off guard, and a heel bucket fell out and fell into the mudflat, and he felt a huge suction force surrounding, and the whole body was as heavy as a thousand catties and sank straight down.
"Someone! Save me! Save me......" Xiao Siwen waved his hands in fear, screaming loudly from the bottom of his lungs, but no one heard his cries for help, the hooves of horses roared all around, the trampling made the water splash by the river, and the sonorous sound of weapons clashing, and the cheers of the Zhou cavalry wave after wave.
At this time, his feet were steady, as if he had stepped on the bottom of the mud, and the huge devouring feeling of weakness and powerlessness around him suddenly disappeared, and the helpless Xiao Siwen was ecstatic in his heart, only to feel that he had turned around in front of the ghost gate, and it was really terrifying between life and death. At this time, the mud had already submerged to his chin, and he scooped up a few handfuls of aquatic plants and covered his head, and the whole person was mixed with the mud of the river beach, and no one could see him.
I don't know how long it took, the surroundings were finally quiet, bursts of insect chirping and the call of water birds were close at hand, Xiao Siwen unveiled the water grass on his head, only to see that the air was dark and green, the night had fallen, he hurriedly climbed out of the mud, took off his helmet, took off his armor, hid a short knife in his arms, identified the direction, and went east under the cover of night.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Siwen fled to the Sun Hou Pavilion, sneaked into a middle-sized family in the village and stole a pack horse to walk, and took away a big rooster crowing by the way, and arrived at the outskirts of Sanhe County, Jizhou at dawn, lit a fire in the wilderness land temple and had a full meal, and then did not dare to stay, sneaked on the wilderness path, and arrived at the Niulan Mountain area in the north of Shunzhou two days later, and heard from the mouth of the small rich man in the countryside that Yelu Chusi was defeated in the eastern suburbs of Shunzhou with a piece of jade pendant, and only fled to Danzhou with more than ten horses.
Xiao Siwen couldn't help but feel sad, wiped a handful of old tears, gritted his teeth and remembered the words "Zhang Yue", led a short and thin pack horse to the west, and decided to sneak out of the Changping victory pass. Anyway, Yelu Chusi attracted the pursuit of the Zhou army in front, and it was safest to go west.
