Chapter 178: Capture Emperor Zhao alive
When Li Wenhou heard that he had arrived at Xiamagou, he couldn't help but feel a little desolate in his heart. This Xiamagou is a place name that appeared hundreds of years ago, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, when a person rebelled and wanted to overthrow the rule of the tyrannical Qin, so he sued the heavens here, took the villagers to rebel with hoes, and went south to fight the world.
Fighting with all his body, he dared to pull the emperor off the horse, and the name of the dismount ditch came from this, and the rebel finally got a good death in the Han Dynasty, which can be regarded as a success.
But looking at himself, Li Wenhou couldn't help but have the idea of crying, he himself was much more powerful than the rebel senior, not only had many soldiers and horses, but also established the country and became the emperor, but now the soldiers and horses are also scattered, and he himself is chased by the officers and soldiers and flees in embarrassment. Get off the horse, who is going to pull himself off the horse?
Li Wenhou said: "Cross the river, don't delay." ”
The Qiang soldiers continued to gallop, but when they arrived at the front of the Xiamagou, they saw that there was no small bridge nearby, at least at a glance, there was definitely no bridge within three or four miles of the upstream and downstream of the river, but there were many trees, there were woods on this side of the river, and there were woods on the opposite side.
Li Wenhou looked at the ditch, indescribably annoyed, this ditch is not wide, but it is not narrow, such as riding a good horse, you can jump over, but if the war horse is ordinary, then the width of the ditch is just like a leap, a little wider, the name of this ditch is really worthy of the name, if you want to pass, you really have to get off the horse!
Li Wenhou looked at his mount, the mount had been running for so long, it had already sweated like pulp, if it was changed to usual, with the strength of the mount, it would be possible to jump over this ditch, but now it is not possible.
With a wave of his hand, Li Wenhou said: "Cut down wood to build a bridge, just build a simple wooden bridge, let's hurry up, there are still chasing soldiers behind!" With that, he rolled over and dismounted, wanting to take the opportunity to rest and catch his breath and drink.
Although the Qiang soldiers are too tired, but the saying that there are chasing soldiers behind is very important, no matter how tired they are, they have to work quickly and build the bridge quickly, otherwise the horn soldiers behind will catch up, and things will not be easy to do!
Holding a big knife, the Qiang soldiers rushed to the woods, there are many people to do things, it is definitely too late to build a strong and easy to use bridge, but to build a bridge with a surname, it is still no problem, a few big trees cut off their branches, go to the river bank, lead the horses to pass, they cross the bridge, and then push the big tree into the river, so as not to use the horn soldiers behind to use this bridge, the horn soldiers want to cross the river, let them build their own bridge!
The Qiang soldiers thought very well and ran into the woods, but before they could reach the edge of the woods, someone shouted, "Horn soldiers, there are horn soldiers!" ”
The Qiang soldiers were suddenly in a big mess, turned around and ran to the side of the ditch, shouting as they ran, telling Li Wenhou that there were horn soldiers in ambush in the woods!
Li Wenhou was taken aback, and as soon as he sat on the ground, he jumped up again, looked over the woods, and saw an army slowly opening out of the woods, with a huge number of people, and a team drove out, only to see the head but not the tail. The horn guards in the team waved several battle flags, and the battle flags had different patterns on them, and it was obvious that the leading generals in the woods were not only large, but also several!
Li Wenhou shouted: "Block, block!" He got on his horse, and immediately fled, and ran down the ditch downstream.
The Qiang soldiers listened to the order, but no one went over to block it, the Fujiao soldiers just drove out of the woods, but they did not attack, and the Qiang soldiers were not impatient, and the Fujiao army did not attack, how could they run over to attack first!
The Qiang soldiers quickly retreated, and when they arrived at the place where the horses were placed, they took off their bows and arrows and aimed at the Fujiao army, but they did not dare to release the arrows first, for fear of attracting the rain of arrows from the Fujiao army, but they saw that the Fujiao army did not mean to release arrows, and saw that Li Wenhou had already run out of the small half a mile, so the Qiang soldiers got on their horses and followed Li Wenhou to run downstream of Xiamagou.
Li Qin walked out of the woods, looked at Li Wenhou who had fled, and said: "He was beaten to the point of being frightened, he was driven away by us when he was in Jincheng County, and now it is like this, it seems that when he saw me, he never did anything else except run!" ”
Jia Xu smiled behind him: "I hope I don't let him run again this time." ”
Li Qin said with a smile: "Falling into the hands of Zhao Zheng, it is not easy for him to run away, you forget that Zhao Zheng is the best runner, and no one can outrun him." ”
He thought of Lu Bu, then Lu Bu is definitely a hero, and his martial arts are much higher than Zhao Zheng, but when he met Zhao Zheng, he was still forced to scatter girls all over the mountain, no matter how powerful Li Wenhou is, can he still be as powerful as Lu Bu? Not necessarily!
Yuan Shao and Zhang Qin also walked out of the woods, and Zhang Qin said, "That person is Li Wenhou?" He doesn't look like a monkey, if you want to say that he looks strange, our family looks at him far less pleasing than General Wudanzi! ”
Yuan Shao turned his head to look at Zhang Qin, and couldn't help grinning, black eggs? Is that the leader of the scouts who looks like a big horse monkey? His appearance can be described as pleasing to people, it seems that the aesthetic tendency of this dead eunuch is really different!
Yuan Shao asked, "Li Lang, are we going to rush over and force Li Wenhou down the river?" ”
Li Qin shook his head and said: "It's not necessary, we just need to press it slowly, let Li Wenhou know that we are behind him, and his retreat has been cut off, which is enough." Wait a little longer and you'll be able to see who's chasing him! ”
Yuan Shao sighed and said, "It's the pleasing black egg general, right?" In terms of time, it's time for him to come! ”
The Fujiao army came out of the woods, and when they were about to get on the horse, they heard the rumbling hooves in the distance, and the black egg led the men and horses and chased them from a distance, but the black egg did not come to the woods, he saw Li Wenhou turn from a distance and ran along the lower horse ditch, so he also turned and chased down directly.
Li Qin took the Fujiao Army Brigade and pressed up from behind, not in a hurry, just to let Li Wenhou know that he had no other choice but to cross the ditch, so even if he wanted to dismount and swim over, he still had to get wet, and there was no other way!
Li Wenhou ran a long way along the ditch, but he never saw a bridge, he was so angry that he drew his horse, this ditch is obviously very uncomfortable, the river is not wide, the water is urgent, there is no ferry, it is understandable, but there is no bridge, it is really incomprehensible! But anger is anger, no bridge is no bridge, and it is too late to build it.
At this time, a Qiang soldier shouted from behind: "Your Majesty, the Fujiao army that chased us last night has caught up again, and it is getting closer and closer to us!" ”
Li Wenhou gritted his teeth and shouted, "Get off the horse and cross the river!" After crossing the river, we waited with bows and arrows, and we had to shoot a group of people to death, these Fujiao troops were hateful to the extreme! ”
The current Qiang soldiers, hating the small ditch in front of them, are more powerful than hating the Fujiao army behind, this ditch is not wide, it is said to be narrow or not narrow, but it can just block them, usually encounter this kind of thing, and they don't feel anything, but now they are extremely annoyed!
The Qiang soldiers dismounted one after another, and everyone led their horses, entered the Xiama River, and swam to the opposite side. But as soon as they went down the river, they saw a group of horn soldiers on the other side of the river, running towards the river, and they saw that they had come to block them! This team of Fujiao army seems to have appeared out of thin air, without the slightest warning in advance, of course, if there is an omen, the Qiang soldiers will not be able to choose to cross the river here!
Li Wenhou had just gone down the river at this time, and when he saw the Fujiao army running in the distance, he was almost so angry that he choked on the water. Is there a mistake, how wide is this river, it's just a narrow ditch, these Fujiao troops still have to play half-crossing, are they reading military books to read their brains badly, and they are fools who read too much!
Don't care if the Fujiao Army is a fool in reading, and don't care why people have to play half-crossing in such a narrow ditch, but as soon as they came, they immediately blocked the Qiang soldiers in the ditch!
Behind is the Fujiao soldiers who have been chasing closer, and in front is the Fujiao army that ran over to block people, as soon as the two armies converged, they immediately blocked Li Wenhou, the emperor of Dazhao, in the river, even if they went ashore in the front, they still couldn't do it in the back, they were embarrassed in the water, and they could only soak in it!
Li Wenhou was in a hurry, if the horn guards released their arrows at this moment, it would be a big mess, he would have to be shot dead in the water! He shouted: "Brothers, release the arrows, preemptively release them, and do not let the enemy in front of you come near!" ”
Although there are many Qiang soldiers, not all of them have gone into the water, and less than a third of them have gone into the water, and most of them are still on the shore, so they haven't had time to go into the water! Hearing Li Wenhou's shout, the Qiang soldiers on the shore immediately opened their bows and released arrows, and shot at the horn soldiers who ran over!
It was Zhao Zheng who ran over to block people, he was originally ambushed in the woods, just opposite the woods where Li Qin was hiding, but he was born as a hunter, and he knew that the prey was surrounded and intercepted, and he must run to the easiest place to get out, so it should be similar to catch the fleeing enemy, in comparison, it is much easier to run along the river than across the river, so Li Wenhou should run along the river first, and only after throwing off the pursuers for a distance before starting to cross the river.
According to this idea, Zhao Zheng slowly walked downstream along the river with the Fujiao soldiers, and Li Qin blocked the upstream direction, so Li Wenhou could only flee downstream. He walked in the woods with his soldiers, and sure enough, he saw Li Wenhou fleeing this way, and he was about to cross the river not far from him, which could make him blocked!
When Zhao Zheng saw the Qiang soldiers release arrows, he immediately shouted: "Release the arrows, let's release the arrows too!" The horn keeper stopped and began to fire back!
The two armies are far apart, although the range of the bow and arrow of the Fujiao army is longer, but they can't shoot the Qiang soldiers, they can only scare each other! But as soon as it was so frightened, the time was delayed, and the black eggs behind led the troops to catch up, and as soon as the scout army arrived, they also began to release arrows.
All of a sudden, both sides of the ditch were full of swishing sounds, feather arrows flew back and forth, and after a while, the Qiang soldiers began to have casualties, they were poorly equipped, this is an objective fact, can not be changed!
Boom, the Qiang soldiers don't care about Li Wenhou anymore, what is the Great Zhao Emperor and the Emperor Zhao, the Qiang soldiers decided to be loyal to Li Wenhou in the next life, in this life, forget it, anyway, I owe the emperor loyalty in this life, and I will make up for it in the next life...... Boom away!
In the chaos, Wu Danzi and Zhao Zheng both approached the river ditch, just now an encounter, started quickly, and ended not slowly, there were hundreds of corpses of Qiang soldiers floating in the river, the two generals came to the river, looked at each other and smiled, and then hurried to see the river, wanting to find Li Wenhou, that is the Great Zhao Emperor, whether it is caught or killed, it is a miracle!
Suddenly, I saw a string of bubbles rising in the river, and a head emerged from the water, it was Li Wenhou, who had just become the emperor of Great Zhao for a few days!
