Chapter 148: Bloody Battle
The black-robed man who had just killed six traitors in a row and saved Cao Huachun was Tian Ergeng. After he rescued Cao Huachun for the first time, he didn't want to face each other, and planned to turn around and leave, but he was still recognized by Cao Huachun. Since everyone called out their names, it seemed a bit rude not to say hello, so they had to bow their hands to Cao Huachun and said, "I've seen Grandpa Cao." ”
"Lord Tian, thank you for saving your life. It's just that I don't know why Lord Tian is here? Cao Huachun said politely.
"I said I came to see the excitement, I wonder if the Cao Gong Guild will believe it?" Tian Ergeng said with a smile.
"Hehe......" Cao Huachun also laughed, "Lord Tian said that he laughed, thinking that those black-robed people were Tian Daren's subordinates." Although Wei Gong and I had some festivals back then, time has passed, so there is no need to mention it again. Today, Lord Yue fought a decisive battle with the rebels, and Duke Wei was able to come forward, obviously caring for Sheji, and Cao was here to obey. ”
"Lord Yue is a courtier of the first emperor, and this time it is a decisive battle with the traitors, since my father-in-law heard the news, he naturally can't sit idly by. Grandpa Cao, this is not a place to speak, let's find a safe place and talk about it. Tian Ergeng said.
The shouting and killing in front of him continued, and Cao Huachun estimated that his own people would soon be unable to withstand it, and it was obviously unrealistic to help him and Tian Ergeng here. He nodded and said, "It's okay." It's just that I'm not familiar with this place, so I'll let Tian lead the way. ”
"I'm not as early as Gonggong Cao, and I'm not familiar with this place, so let's go to the outer courtyard to hide first." After speaking, Tian Ergeng grabbed Cao Huachun and ran outside.
Tian Ergeng didn't know what Cao Huachun's mind was, so he only spoke for three points. A little more, not to mention. I didn't mention anything that Yue Su invited, and I didn't mention it at all. Originally, Tian Ergeng didn't plan to face Cao Huachun, but he saw Cao Huachun in distress in the room, so he came out to rescue. No matter how you say it. Everyone is also on the same front now, they are all helping Yue Su, and if they can help, they will also help.
Cao Huachun didn't believe Tian Ergeng's words, he expected that Tian Ergeng must have seen him coming, otherwise why would he only let his subordinates go in to help, but he was hiding here. As for whether Wei Zhongxian and Yue Su had a tacit understanding, they were well connected this time. He couldn't decide. But he didn't want to worry about it. After all, it was for the court to exterminate the traitors, and Lord Yue was personally involved in the danger, and it was really impossible to say that he was disloyal to the court.
The two men escaped from this courtyard and came to the outermost courtyard, which was only a patrol passage, the only house. It's the gatehouse. The two of them got inside and let them catch their breath. Tian Ergeng said: "Gonggong Cao, you should be able to be safe here. The traitors will not chase too far, inside the battle. Also the main one. ”
Cao Huachun nodded, he also thought so, the traitors would never divide their troops to chase him. He sat down on the bed in the concierge and said, "Lord Tian, you said that Lord Yue would have such a risk this time, what are the chances of winning?" ”
"I don't know very well, I'm ashamed to say that Tian is greedy for life and afraid of death. I haven't been in, and I want to ask my father-in-law. What's going on inside? Tian Ergeng said.
"In the past, the two sides were evenly matched. is still slowly gaining the upper hand, but I didn't expect that a large number of rebels suddenly came in just now, and the situation inside is not optimistic. Cao Huachun shook his head and said.
"I heard that Lord Yue is not a reckless person, and if he dares to lead the snake out of the hole this time, he must rely on it. I don't know if he has any back-ups, if not, this ...... How is this good...... "Tian Ergeng doesn't know if Yue Su has any killer features, but it's all at this time, if Yue Su doesn't have any more reinforcements, it is estimated that it will be really bad.
"Yes, looking at the reinforcements of the rebels, there are not a thousand, but also eight hundred, and they can hold out for an hour at most. At this hour, if there were no reinforcements, it would be bad. ”
The situation inside, as Cao Huachun said, has undergone earth-shaking changes on the scene. The courtyard was full of traitors, and on Yue Su's side, all the people added up were only two hundred and fifty-six, although they were all brave, but they couldn't stand the other party's large number of people.
The warriors in the courtyard fell one after another, and Yue Su saw it in his eyes. He had now shown his weapon and held a long sword in his hand, although his face was still calm, but the hand holding the sword was already covered with sweat. It is now the beginning of noon, this is already the time for himself to explain to Pei Xuan and the Huzhou garrison, at this time, they should have arrived, why haven't they come yet.
As the minutes ticked by, screams and shouts of murder came and went, and a quarter of an hour seemed to pass very slowly when there was nothing to do, but at such times, a quarter of an hour seemed to arrive in the blink of an eye. By two o'clock in the afternoon, the men of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the black-robed men under Tian Ergeng were almost completely dead and wounded. Yue Su's guards are now only a few dozen left, and under the leadership of Jin Chan, Jiang Jie and others, they are desperately guarding the steps and preventing the rebels from coming up.
The rebels in the courtyard can have a thousand people, Hun Sen looked at Yue Su and made another last struggle, and couldn't help laughing, "Lord Yue! Aren't you ruined and self-defeating? Okay, this seat will be fulfilled with you today, this seat will not only kill your men completely, but also crush your bones and ashes! ”
Yue Su stood on the top of the steps and did not answer the other party's words, although he did not despair, but he understood that if the reinforcements did not come again, when the guards around him died, even if the reinforcements arrived, his own life would be thrown here.
He understood this truth, and Jiang Jie in front of him naturally understood, Jiang Jie said: "My lord, you should also withdraw, the brothers are here, if reinforcements arrive, they will cooperate with the outside and fight to the death with the traitors." If the reinforcements are late, the adults can save their lives, and they can also avenge us! ”
"You are all good brothers of Su, how can I leave you and others and live in secret. Today, we are fighting side by side, even if we die, there is a companion on the Huangquan Road. But if you all die, and I live alone, won't I have to feel guilty for the rest of my life? The idea is what I thought, at this time, how can I go, Mr. does not need to persuade me again, I have made up my mind. Let's give it a go! The Governor is here, for you to sit down! ”
Don't look at the fact that there are less than fifty people in front of him, Yue Su is still arrogant. When the people under him heard his words, their spirits were greatly lifted, and their fears were completely absent. The dignified minister of Tuogu, the second assistant of the court, and the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang are not afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of. Lord Yue's precious life is willing to accompany everyone, even if he dies today, it can be regarded as vigorous.
"We are willing to die for adults, and we will never take half a step back!" Jin Cicada and Tie Qiu roared, waved the steel knife in their hands, and killed the enemy more bravely. The protectors did not show weakness, and the spears in their hands stabbed desperately, and there was a great determination to kill one Ben.
United, under the encouragement of Yue Su, these dozens of people seemed to be twisted into a rope for a while, no matter how fierce the rebels were, they would never retreat.
But even if you are brave, after all, there are too few people, and if you don't fall down, there will be no replenishment. And the rebel is like water, there is a rebel, after killing another guard, he directly grabbed the steps and rushed towards Yue Su.
You must know that Yue Su's life is worth 100,000 taels of gold. It's just that this kid doesn't know that Lord Yue is not the kind of official who is powerless, and when he saw the traitor coming up, Yue Su did not flinch, and the long sword in his hand stabbed forward. This sword is fast and hateful, the traitor didn't expect that Yue Su would be so powerful, and he wanted to parry, but unfortunately he was half a beat slower, and he was stabbed by Yue Su's sword.
Hun Sen saw the situation in front clearly, he laughed loudly again, and said: "Lord Yue, are you still thinking about stubbornly resisting at this moment? ”
"Hun Sen, Bendu's reinforcements will arrive at any time, you don't have to be complacent too early, be careful and wait, the person who was crushed and scattered is you!" Yue Su didn't show weakness and shouted.
"Your reinforcements, if they could come, would have come a long time ago, and they wouldn't have to wait until now!" Hun Sen smirked again. "Give it to me, whoever can take off Yue Su's head and reward 100,000 taels of gold, and those who capture Yue Su alive will be rewarded with 150,000 taels of gold!"
It's really rich, and at this time, Hun Sen can still increase the price. After shouting again, the morale of the rebels was even more uplifted, and they moved forward desperately. More than a dozen of the guards fell, and the rest were no more than thirty. Although Jin Chan and the others didn't want to retreat, they also had to retreat, slowly retreating, narrowing the scope of defense.
Death may be imminent.
A smile appeared on Yue Su's face, and his smile tasted somewhat painful. Is that how you lost? Even if reinforcements arrive now, the rebels in front of them can be crushed by their thirty or so people before they die.
"It's over! It's all over! It seems lucky that not every time it will be on my side! Death, death! Yue Su smiled bitterly, lifted the sword, and was ready to step forward desperately at any time.
Yue Su was desperate this time, and the victory was no longer his own. There can be a thousand rebels in front of him, and even if the reinforcements come, they will be useless, because no matter how many reinforcements there are, it is impossible to kill all the enemies at once, or kill a bloody path in an instant, and rush to his own close to protect them. These dozens of people have been desperately guarding for a quarter of an hour, and there are so many traitors, if they fight desperately, they don't know how long they can defend it. What's more, reinforcements have not yet arrived.
However, the heavens always like to play tricks on people, and just when Lord Yue was completely desperate, a thunderous shout suddenly remembered at the entrance of the courtyard opposite. "Don't panic, Lord Governor, reinforcements are coming!"
This voice was really loud enough, and when the voice settled, the people on Yue Su's side couldn't help but feel refreshed. Jiang Jie immediately shouted: "Reinforcements are coming, brothers resist it!" ”
Originally, Jin Chan and they were all desperate, they had the same idea as Yue Su, and now even if reinforcements came, they would be dead. But now, now that the reinforcements are here, at least there is a glimmer of life. "Let's fight!"
The rebels also heard this shout, Hun Sen didn't care, just sneered and said: "The people in the back are up to me, the people in front are up to me, and the reinforcements from the front, we have also seen it, but there are hundreds of people, it's nothing." Now that the city gate has been robbed by us, the army outside the city can't enter, as long as we kill Yue Su, we will retreat from the west gate! ”
"Yes!" "Kill!" "Kill Yue Su and leave!" ……
