Chapter 186: The One Who Doesn't Die Well and the One Who Dies
(Ask for collection)
"You're not dead!"
Luo Shixin looked at Li Xian's smiling face incredulously, his eyes were wide and round. He subconsciously urged the horse to look at Li Xian's face carefully, ignoring the fact that he was still in the middle of the battle. The Yanyunzhai cavalry behind Li Xian had already killed and scattered all the thieves besieging Luo Shixin. Li Xian pointed the black knife forward, and the cavalry roared past the crying father who killed the thieves of Ju Yeze.
Li Xian glanced at Zhang Jincheng, who had already run far away, frowned, pointed at Zhang Jincheng and said, "I'll explain to you later, let's kill Zhang Jincheng first!" ”
Luo Shixin rubbed his eyes, and then laughed and said, "Okay! You and I will kill the thieves together! ”
He had already noticed Li Xian's black armor, and he had also noticed the countless elite cavalry behind Li Xian. He just subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but he didn't react for a while. When the two of them chased out towards Zhang Jincheng one after the other, Luo Shixin suddenly understood what was wrong.
"Great Sui Mansion Soldiers!"
Thinking of this, Luo Shixin took a closer look at those cavalry, but found that there was something different, yes, those cavalrymen were indeed wearing the earthy yellow uniform of the Great Sui system, and the leather armor on the outside was also the standard leather armor of the Great Sui cavalry, the difference was that the right arm of those cavalry was tied with a red cloth!
It's not the battle flag of the Great Sui!
Luo Shixin's gaze stayed on the fluttering banner of the cavalry for a moment, and then his heart tightened.
The battle flag of the Great Sui was red, the color of blood. And although the cavalry under Li Xian's command looks like a team of government soldiers, their battle flag is black. It was as dark as the deepest night, and there were dark clouds obscuring the moon. It was the same color as the black knife in Li Xian's hand, especially the three blood-red characters, which were as eye-catching as the blood of the enemy hanging on Li Xian's black knife.
Yanyun Village!
Yan Yun ...... Yan Yun ......
Luo Shi's confidence suddenly lit up, as if a lightning bolt tore through the night sky!
He is Yan Yun who recaptured the body of the old general of Mai Tiezhu in Liaodong, killed the Goguryeo general E-zhi Wenli, beat E-zhi Wende to a cripple, and saved the lives of more than 20,000 soldiers on the bank of Sashui?!
Although Yu Wenshu, Yu Zhongwen and others deliberately concealed Yan Yun's affairs from Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Cause, they tacitly did not mention a word in front of Yang Guang, including Xue Shixiong. And Yang Guang had already forgotten the young man he met by chance on the bank of the Liaoshui River, he didn't ask, and Yuwenshu and the others naturally wouldn't say it. But if you can hide it from the emperor, you can't hide it from the people of the Great Sui.
Since the Great Sui Expeditionary Force returned from Liaodong last year, a legendary story about a young general named Yan Yun has begun to circulate. In just a few months, it has spread all over the northern land. Legend has it that the black-armored general named Yanyun was two feet tall, so that a horse lance that was more exaggerated than the lance of Qin Shubao in Qi County was more exaggerated, and he fought for 3,000 miles alone, killing the Goguryeo general E-zhi Wenli, and cutting off one of E-zhi Wende's legs with a lance, and the entire army of the Great Sui Expeditionary Army was defeated, but General Na Yanyun alone entered the enemy formation and rescued many comrades from hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo troops.
Some people say that General Yan Yun has a black horse, black helmet and black armor, a hideous and terrifying appearance, a green face and fangs, and a strong body. He sat on the big black horse, which was half a body taller than the average war horse, and General Yan Yun was two feet tall, and the average big man only reached his armpit. He used a huge knife that was eight feet long, like a door panel, and could sweep dozens of Goguryeo barbarians to death with a casual sweep. Liaoshui chased and killed Yizhi Wende, Sa Shuibian beheaded Yizhi Wenli, and General Yanyun used this door panel broadsword. It is said that the expeditionary force of the Great Sui almost conquered Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, because General Yanyun slashed the gates of Pyongyang with a single sword......
There are many versions of the legend, and some people swear that General Yan Yun is a white-robed young general, with a face like a crown of jade, a handsome god, and a sword as sharp as electricity. As long as that sword comes out, no one in this world is his opponent. White horses and white robes, coming and going in the Goguryeo army, clothes are not stained with blood, killing one person in ten steps, and not leaving a line for thousands of miles.
This version is the most popular among the girls in the boudoir, and many young girls have seen Yanyun dressed like this in their dreams more than once. The white-robed and handsome son, a thunder sword at his waist, and a book of broken formations in his hand, the handsome one should be thundered and split in the sky, and I don't know how many cardamom girls and spring girls regard Yan Yun as a lover, but no matter which version of the legend the ending is the same, that is, General Yan Yun killed himself in the Goguryeo army, killed thousands (or thousands) of people, and finally died of exhaustion. In this ending, I don't know how many women's eyes were red and how many catties of tears were provoked.
I don't know how many women leaned against the window and lamented, and how many men sighed about the wine.
And when these legends spread to everyone's hearts in the northern land, Li Xian was leading the team to rectify on Yanshan. The Flying Tiger spy had collected these legends, and Li Xian didn't care about it at the time. It wasn't until he went south that he realized that he was already a big, big celebrity, but unfortunately he died in various ways in the legend, and the tragedy was incomparable.
Luo Shixin had also heard of the name Yan Yun, and when he was drinking with General Zhang Xutuo and Qin Qiong, he also scolded Yu Wenshu for being incompetent and Liu Shilong for misleading the country because of his drunkenness. There were only three of them at the time, so they were not afraid of being sued in the court.
Although Zhang Xutuo and Qin Qiong both felt that Yan Yun's matter was a bit exaggerated, and it might even be a lie, this did not prevent them from analyzing the classic battle examples in Yan Yun's legends, the reason why they didn't believe in Yan Yun's real existence was because of the 300,000 soldiers of the imperial expeditionary force, and only 2,700 people came back in total. If Yan Yun really rescued tens of thousands of government soldiers, what about people? Where are they?
When Luo Shixin saw the banner of Yanyunzhai, he saw the soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion who were dressed in earthy yellow clothes.
He remembered those legends about Yan Yun in his mind, and his mind suddenly lit up.
He knew where those soldiers had gone.
Luo Shixin took a deep breath, and the dozen or so wounds on his body did not make him frown, but the truth he deduced in this short period of time made his face change greatly.
No matter what version it is, Yan Yun died in a tragic battle in the end. Luo Shixin saw Li Xian, saw the black armor, the black horse and the black knife, saw the elite soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion, and saw the three blood-colored characters of Yanyunzhai on the black banner, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, it turned out that all the legends were true, but the ending was fake. Yan Yun did not die, this person who rescued tens of thousands of government soldiers, this hero of the Great Sui, turned out to be ...... became a thief.
Luo Shixin wiped a handful of blood from the corner of his mouth and found that the blood was also bitter.
Looking at Li Xian's back, Luo Shixin muttered, "Since you are not dead, why do you need to come back?" Now that you're in the military...... Why go back to being a thief? ”
He couldn't figure it out, so he panicked and was uncomfortable.
So, he's going to catch up and ask for clarification!
……
……
Zhang Jin said that he had never been so embarrassed, and that he had never been so embarrassed when he was beaten by several officials when he had two inferior horses that he had sold back from the Saiwai grassland people a few years ago. He led the people to rebel, killed officials, and burned the county government, and later was not so embarrassed when he was surrounded and killed by the official army. He gathered tens of thousands of people, and after poisoning Sun Anzu during the banquet, he was chased and cut down by Sun Anzu's personal soldiers in the hall, and he was not so embarrassed. Even, he was defeated by someone on the bank of the Yellow River a while ago, and even lost Ju Yeze's nest, and he was never so embarrassed.
He had to roll all over the ground to save his life, and that wasn't a big deal. In order to survive, he used his in-laws' money to block a spear, which is nothing. Losing all his silver armor in order to survive is nothing.
As long as you can live, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Therefore, when the black-armored general who had killed his men and horses on the bank of the Yellow River appeared in front of him again, Zhang Jin said that he fled as fast as he could.
When he heard someone shouting from behind: "The man in the silver armor is Zhang Jincheng, kill!" ”
Without hesitation, he began to unload his armor in a hurry, and when he couldn't untie the armor, he cut it with a dagger, and then discarded his expensive silver armor one by one. He even stabbed to death the soldier who had no eyesight, because the soldier actually followed him all the time with a big banner. He also stabbed the war horse in the buttocks, and the war horse screamed and galloped out, not knowing when it would bleed and die.
Zhang Jin said that he couldn't manage so much, and he could live a little longer.
If the soldiers are gone, you can recruit them again in the future. The silver armor is gone, and you can rob the gold and silver to build a pair in the future. Ju Yezawa is gone, who can say that he won't have a chance to get it back in the future?
As long as you can save your life, you will still have anything.
Because Zhang Jin said that he stabbed his mount, the horse went crazy in pain, and Li Xian's big black horse was not easy to catch up. It wasn't until he left the battlefield and went out three miles away that Li Xian narrowed the distance between him and Zhang Jincheng to about 100 steps. And Luo Shixin's horse is not as fast as Li Xian's big black horse, and he has been fighting for half a day and is already tired, and he is gradually thrown away by Li Xian, but Luo Shixin refuses to give up, regardless of the scarred body and the weakness of the war horse, he still gritted his teeth and stayed far behind.
At a distance of 100 paces, Li Xian took off the hard bow from behind him, took out an armor-piercing cone and put it on the bowstring. After a slight aim, he let go and sent the armor-piercing cone out. The arrow drew a beautiful mark like a meteor, and went straight to the back of Zhang Jincheng's heart with a slight arc.
With a bang, the arrow shot accurately at Zhang Jincheng's back. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jincheng, who was afraid of death, actually tied a heart shield to the front and back of his heart, and the armor-piercing cone split the iron mirror into two, but failed to pierce Zhang Jincheng's body. However, the strength of this impact Zhang Jin said that it was not comfortable to bear, and there was a suffocation in his chest, and a mouthful of blood gushed up.
Li Xian saw that Zhang Jin was so cautious, and secretly said Oh, he is actually a fellow practitioner.
You must know that Li Xian has far more means to save his life than Zhang Jincheng, in a sense, the two people can find some similarities, but the fundamental difference is that Li Xian never flinched when he had to work hard, and Zhang Jincheng still wouldn't fight hard when he had to work hard.
A second armor-piercing cone was fired again, and the arrow was still accurate. But to Li Xian's surprise, this arrow still failed to shoot Zhang Jincheng off the horse!
It turned out that Zhang Jin said that he was too thin, and there was a layer of leather armor in the silver armor, and there was a layer of cotton clothes in the leather armor. Because the sweat soaked through the cotton clothes, the resistance became greater, and the distance was so far that the second arrow still failed to kill him, although the feather arrow broke the leather armor and pierced the cotton clothes into his back, but it did not penetrate particularly deeply. Even so, Zhang Jin's painful face changed shape, and his eyes were black and almost fell off the horse's back.
Li Xian continued to urge the horse to chase, and the third arrow was shot out again.
Zhang Jincheng looked back while running, and happened to see Li Xian drawing the bow again, he hurriedly lay on the back of the horse and didn't dare to stand upright, the arrow caught up from behind and grazed the back of Zhang Jincheng's head and shot over, this arrow cut his bun, and also cut off a lot of withered yellow hair. The cluster of arrows cut a blood groove in the back of his head, but it wasn't fatal.
The three arrows failed to kill Zhang Jincheng, and Li Xian was annoyed.
Just as he was about to draw another arrow and draw his bow, he suddenly saw hundreds of horses rushing from the side, and he saw that the clothes were defeated thieves, but he didn't know how to escape here.
The one who escaped from the side was Pei Gan, who was under Wang Bo, who originally led his men and horses to besiege Zhang Xutuo, but was first killed by Qin Qiong's men and horses for a while, and then was killed by Li Xian's elite cavalry and scattered the team. Li Hai, who surrounded Zhang Xutuo with him, was stabbed to death by Qin Qiong, and Pei Gan saw that the general situation was gone, and hurriedly withdrew from the battle group with his own soldiers, turned around and ran.
At this time, seeing a black-armored general chasing and killing a thief, Pei Gan was holding back his anger and bullying Li Xian to ride alone, he scolded loudly and then led hundreds of cavalry towards Li Xian. Li Xian smiled angrily, and gave Pei Gan the armor-piercing cone that was originally aimed at Zhang Jincheng, Pei Gan was facing Li Xian, the distance was close, and Li Xian's arrow hit him in the forehead, and the armor-piercing cone pierced out from the back of his head, and the corpse fell off the horse with a thud.
