After another moment, my mood finally calmed down, and I carefully calculated how to deal with the current situation, four hundred against three thousand, both sides are elite, but we have me here, I am afraid that I can't escape if I want to, Lu Can's matter is not too late to think about in the future, and now it is the top priority to escape. I forced myself to forget about being in a bumpy and dark car, and thought carefully about how I could save myself. After a while, my heart suddenly lit up, that Flying Tiger General ordered to capture me alive and kill the King of Qi, it seems that for him, the importance of me and the King of Qi is not the same, from the bounty, it seems that I am more important to them, but in my opinion, it is not so. For the generals who lead the troops, it is natural that the life and death of the King of Qi is more important to them, and I am afraid that these generals may not be able to understand my importance, for them, maybe I am just a task that they need to complete, maybe it is because of this that my bounty is higher, this is to avoid those soldiers not only caring about chasing the King of Qi. Even if I miscalculated, they would have regarded me more heavily than King Qi, and it would not be a big deal for my plan.

I was thinking like this, when suddenly the car door was forcefully opened, and I saw the King of Qi, who was covered in blood, shouting at me, "Suiyun, we must divide our troops." ”

I said in my heart, sure enough, the hero saw the same thing, and hurriedly said: "Zhe also has this intention." "Poking my head out, I saw that we had reached a narrow junction with rocks on both sides, and the King of Qi ordered people to block the intersection and temporarily restrain the pursuers. I hurriedly took the special cyan coat from the car, tied it to my body, and then instructed Xiao Shunzi: "You quickly change into your clothes and armor, and then take me on a horse, we will part ways with His Royal Highness the King of Qi, please divide fifty more people to me, I think this can disperse the enemy's forces." ”

A look of relief flashed in King Qi's eyes, and he said, "That's exactly how it should be, but Suiyun, you have to be careful, if their target is you, I'm worried that it will be difficult for you to get out." ”

I smiled and said, "Maybe, but for the Northern Han soldiers, I'm afraid that in their minds, you are the primary target, so the one who will bear the most pressure this time may be Your Highness." "Then King Qi and I hurriedly studied some details of the battle, and after a while, the cavalry guarding the junction was already a little exhausted. At this time, Xiao Shunzi has everything ready. He first untied the two horses pulling the carriage, these two white horses were selected in advance, and they were fully qualified for the work of war horses, Xiao Shunzi gave one of the horses to the other cavalrymen to lead, and then changed into white refined armor, and took out two spears from under the seat of the carriage, picked them up, and turned them into two spears. Xiao Shunzi came over and helped me to the war horse first, and then he himself jumped up and sat me down behind him, and he carefully tied me to him with a strap. At this time, a hundred tiger guards and five Qi King guards had also formed a team, and I immediately glanced at King Qi and said calmly: "Your Highness, the minister has taken a step first." ”

After that, Xiao Shunzi gave an order, and our cavalry, which included a hundred tiger guards and fifty guards of the king of Qi, rushed to the wilderness first, and after rushing out for several miles, I turned around and saw that the king of Qi had fled in another direction with another cavalry, and the carriage I specially made was overturned at the intersection, blocking the pursuers, my carriage was quite heavy, and it seemed that they could not pass for a while.

I have carefully considered the division of troops this time, but I am even more impressed that King Qi can figure out this matter so quickly, he has been fighting, the enemy's target is two, we are not much stronger together, and the enemy can go all out, although we are weak in the division of troops, but the enemy will also hesitate in order to arrange the division of troops, in the end, we will not suffer. And just fleeing and being unable to fight back is a sure defeat, and now King Qi can be said to have no worries, so he can think of a counterattack.

At this time, Xiao Shunzi in front said: "Childe, there are about a thousand chasing soldiers behind, what are we going to do?" ”

I am happy in my heart, sure enough, for those arrogant generals, King Qi, the commander of Dayong, is the most important, but a thousand cavalry is not a small number, if we can't annihilate it in one fell swoop, we can't get out to help King Qi. Looking at the surrounding terrain, I said, "Let Hu Yanshou go into the wilderness, I have twenty flying divine fires by my side." ”

Xiao Shunzi was thorough at one point, and immediately nodded and said: "I understand, water and fire are ruthless, and it is really a good way." After that, he studied with Hu Yanshou, who commanded the cavalry, Hu Yanshou was originally the guard next to me when I was in the Yongwang Mansion, and this time the emperor specially sent him over, and it was also because of this, otherwise how could the deputy commander of the tiger guard be so condescending. I heard him and Xiao Shunzi talking about how to lure the enemy into the bait, and sure enough, he was a general who was good at using soldiers. I silently prayed in my heart that I would succeed in one fell swoop, or my life would be here.

At this time, the pursuers behind are gradually getting a little closer, no way, although Xiao Shunzi's riding skills are also very good, but they are still far from these cavalry who live on horses almost all day long. Fortunately, Hu Yanshou commanded well, turned around, and finally was not surrounded by the enemy forces behind. After another moment, the enemy had lured us into a deserted wilderness, and at the end of autumn the weeds were dry and flammable. As soon as Xiao Shunzi saw that the wind was in the right direction, he shouted, and everyone sped up their horses. And the cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty behind him really still controls the horse speed to pursue, which we have long expected, when the cavalry pursues the enemy, the most taboo is to ride the horse with all its might, so that due to the excessive consumption of horsepower, it is easy to be left behind, so generally speaking, unless it is already encircled or the enemy army has no way to advance, it is generally not going to ride the horse with all its strength, basically control the horse speed, follow the enemy without hurry, and wait until they are sleepy and lacking horses, and then launch a fierce attack, in order to win in one fell swoop. Of course, this is the criterion when the quality of the cavalry of both the enemy and us is about the same, and if the enemy army is too weak, naturally this method will not be used. Therefore, Xiao Shunzi and they increased the speed of their horses, and the pursuers behind were left behind, but they did not speed up their horses in the same way, so as not to be dragged down by us.

It's a pity that this time they did this but it was wrong, just when the two sides were more than nearly two miles apart, Hu Yanshou roared, our army was divided into more than a dozen squads, scattered in all directions, I could hear the Northern Han enemy behind them laughing loudly, presumably they thought that our army was going to disperse and escape, in this way, they were sure to win, I can even hear their laughter with the joy of being able to hunt prey. At this moment, Xiao Shunzi suddenly rode his horse back, and then there was a small silver cylinder in his hand, and he continuously pressed the mechanism above, and the flames flew out from it, quickly igniting the dry yellow grassland. And at this time, the scattered Yongjun also lit the same fire from several other positions, and the fire was quickly connected, and the crescent-shaped fire ring rushed towards the Northern Han cavalry, which was surrounded by barren grass and vines, and the Northern Han cavalry wanted to bypass the fire ring to pursue, but it was too late. They had to retreat, but they were downwind, and the flames chased them with black smoke, and they had just run seven or eight miles, but they were desperate to find that the same fire had blocked their way home.

I could hear the miserable cry in the sea of fire, and my heart was awe-inspiring, but I couldn't help but feel a little proud, fortunately, because this flying divine fire was small in shape and extremely powerful, so I brought twenty on the carriage, and now although almost all of them are used, it has broken a thousand iron cavalry pursuers, which is also worth the money. I also know that it is impossible to destroy the enemy, but at least I can destroy most of them.

But what makes me a little regretful is that I'm afraid that the four people who were sent to set the fire in the back are probably dead. In order to achieve the goal of annihilating the enemy army, I asked Hu Yanshou to send four people to leave on the way, detour to both sides, and saw that the fire broke out in front of him, and when the Northern Han army fled back, he added two fires, so that the fire could be connected and block the enemy's way of life. But the Flying Divine Fire is too powerful, and now that the wind is so strong, I'm afraid they won't be able to come back. However, I admired their courage in my heart, and although I knew that it was dangerous to stay and set fires, they were all competing for the lead, which made me feel a little ashamed.

But these things can't be taken care of, Hu Yanshou has gathered the army, we have to leave quickly, now it's too close to the fire, if the wind direction changes, I'm afraid we will have to be buried together.

Leaving behind the pursuers who did not know life and death, we rushed to the predetermined meeting place, Dayong has many fortresses on the border, the king of Qi and I agreed on the meeting place, and then the king of Qi can rely on the fortress to hold on, and we can raid the Northern Han army from behind. There is no way to say it, twenty flying divine fires are not enough to deal with three thousand cavalry, so I can only induce them to divide their troops first, and then annihilate one of them, fortunately, there are fewer cavalry chasing me, otherwise I am afraid that it will be difficult to fight. While listening to the sound of the wind in my ears, I prayed that His Royal Highness King Qi could arrive at the meeting place safely, otherwise I would have no choice.

And at this time, of course, I didn't know, about half an hour later, when the field that was on fire at the beginning was only a piece of black ashes, the corpses of several charred war horses were pushed away, and a man covered in black ash stood up from under the war horses, and he shouted: "Jiang Zhe, Wei and you will not stand apart!" ”

This person is Wei Ying, on that day he was ordered by Lu Can, with Lin Bi's token to the Northern Han army, and was ordered to respond to Lin Bi's Flying Tiger General Quartz After getting Lin Bi's military order, he took 3,000 cavalry and lurked in the ambush on the way back from the King of Qi. And Wei Ying, who hated Dayong to the core, also volunteered to participate in this operation, and what made him excited was that Jiang Zhe really followed the King of Qi. Later, when Quartz divided his troops to chase and kill, Wei Ying also chose to chase and kill Jiang Zhe, but he was trapped by the sea of fire. Wei Ying was scheming, he knew that his riding skills were mediocre, and it was impossible to escape from the sea of fire, so he took advantage of the chaos to kill several backward Northern Han cavalry, killed their horses, and then hid under the belly of the horse, in the blood and water, which barely escaped the fate of being buried in the sea of fire. He cursed angrily, and then embarked on the journey back to Nanchu, he would not be stupid enough to chase and kill Jiang Zhe again, and deal with more than a hundred cavalry alone, he did not have the courage.

When we finally arrived at Gushanzhai, although I was taken by Xiao Shunzi, but still exhausted, both legs were worn out by the saddle, I will stand this year, but I have never suffered like this, and when I was awakened by the deafening shouts of killing, I found that our cavalry stopped at the bottom of the hillside, not far above the hill, and I could hear the sound of fighting on the other side of the hill.

Xiao Shunzi helped me down and said, "Childe, there is a solid cottage in front, His Royal Highness the King of Qi is surrounded outside the village, and the defenders in the village have failed to come out to rescue him several times." My heart tightened, I gritted my teeth and stood up, and said, "You help me to take a look." ”

Junko reached out and put his arm around my waist, and without seeing him move, he had already led me to the top of the mountain, hiding behind a rock, and then I saw the battlefield.

Gushanzhai got its name because the village was built on a hill, not so much a hill as a rocky hill, and there was a very large spring in the village, which flowed down the mountain. When building the house, dig two or three zhang deep ditch around the village in a week, and then lead the spring water to pour in, the solid cottage has the advantage of topography, and has the "moat" to resist the enemy, it is a rather important fortress. Unfortunately, because the stockade was too strong, most of the troops stationed in it were infantry, only 300 cavalry. I looked down and saw that just a thousand steps away from the stockade, His Royal Highness the King of Qi was rushing with more than a hundred scarred cavalry, trapped in the formation by more than a thousand cavalrymen. The other seven or eight hundred Northern Han cavalry roamed outside the Gushanzhai to block the reinforcements of the Gushanzhai. I could clearly see that there were large corpses and some ownerless horses roaming around the moat. And at the top of the stockade, straight black smoke was billowing upwards.

At this time, Hu Yanshou also followed, and said worriedly: "My lord, the sergeant in the village once wanted to go out of the village to respond, but he was blocked back, although now the village uses a beacon to notify the neighboring villages, but there is not an hour I am afraid that they will not be able to arrive." My lord, we must rescue His Royal Highness King Qi. ”

I looked at the two warring sides below in amazement, this is the first time I have seen the confrontation of elite cavalry so closely, although the disparity in strength is a little, but the king of Qi does not show timidity at all, every sprint is to the weakness of the enemy, and the flying tiger general quartz who commands the Northern Han army Although he reacted quickly, he always trapped the king of Qi and others in the formation, but he was never able to suppress the king of Qi. I asked a little strangely: "Hu Yanshou, although it may be because His Royal Highness the King of Qi has a clever tactic, but why do I think that Quartz is a little unworthy of the name?" ”

Hu Yanshou said: "My lord doesn't know, several generals of the Northern Han Dynasty have different strengths, quartz is good at running thousands of miles, this time the elite of the guards around His Royal Highness is only above the quartz department, so quartz can not succeed in a rapid attack, this ability to march and arrange, the Northern Han army is headed by the ghost-faced general Tan Ji, and in my Dayong army, the cavalry is commanded in battle, and few can defeat His Royal Highness King Qi, so there will be such a situation."

I secretly said in my heart that it was a fluke, if it was the ghost-faced general Tan Ji who chased and ambushed us this time, I would probably be able to collect the body of King Qi, of course, this is still if I have the possibility of escaping. This time, the arrangements of the Northern Han Dynasty were not inconsiderate, but they did not expect that I would bring the Flying Divine Fire that was originally prepared for the East China Sea Society, and in addition, I forgot that the autumn grass grows now, which is the easiest season to use fire. And quartz's tactics were restrained by the king of Qi but it was also a helpless move, I think the Northern Han could not have thought in advance that the king of Qi would go to the East China Sea, it must have been sent in front of the nearby quartz after getting Lin Bi's information, if these conditions were a little worse, it would not be this pattern today. After carefully observing the battle situation for a long time, I said with a straight face: "Xiao Shunzi, after a while, you follow General Huyan to attack the Northern Han army, although your riding skills are poor, but you should barely be compared to an ordinary cavalry, you have practiced the Jiang family's marksmanship in the past few years, you should use it, if you can get Quartz's life, it is naturally the best, if not, you must also let Quartz no longer command the enemy army like a finger." What do you think of this arrangement? ”

Xiao Shunzi and Hu Yanshou both frowned slightly, and Hu Yanshou said first: "My lord, Li Ye's martial arts are strong, and the last general also saw it with his own eyes back then, but my lord, your safety is important, if Li Ye also goes into battle to kill the enemy, if the adult is injured by the chaotic army, we can't afford it." ”

I smiled bitterly and said: "General Huyan, this is also a last resort, if you want to command the army, I am afraid that you will not be able to spare your hand to kill the generals and capture the flag, and if you can't win, even if you are all here to protect Jiang, it will be useless." In this way, you leave a few tigers to protect me, as long as you fight quickly, I shouldn't be in much danger. "I'm embarrassed to say that Hu Yanshou is not absolutely sure to suppress quartz.

Xiao Shunzi didn't say anything, he understood the current situation, and he also knew that Jiang Zhe was like a mountain, and he said in his heart, only if he killed Quartz quickly, and then came back immediately to protect Gongzi, it was the best solution, and he couldn't help but regret that he didn't let Jiang Zhe bring a few more henchmen to escort him. At this time, the King of Qi below was already in some scattered formations, and it seemed that it was the end of the strong crossbow. I hurriedly ordered: "General Huyan, you act quickly, if His Highness is injured, I'm afraid we won't be able to bear it." ”

Hu Yanshou whispered a promise, arranged for a few strong martial arts tiger guards to protect me, and then returned to the horse, Xiao Shunzi glanced at me, and also got on the war horse, at this time I remembered something, and hurriedly approached and shouted: "Xiao Shunzi, there is another thing?" Xiao Shunzi had an inquiring look on his face, leaned over and bowed his head, and I hurriedly said a few words in his ear, and then quickly stepped aside.

Hu Yanshou saw that everyone was ready to stop, lifted the horse lance, silently pointed to the sky, and then suddenly waved down, nearly two hundred cavalry rushed to the top of the mountain, and then roared down like a gallop, standing on the side, I only felt that the ground shook, the gravel rolled, and I almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, a few tiger guards who stayed around me to protect me hugged me.

These tiger guards are also the guards who protected me in the cold garden back then, and they have been promoted in the past few years, at least they are also the military attachés of the sixth grade, but as soon as they met me a few days ago, they complained to me, saying that after I ran away, they were reprimanded by the king of Yong and the emperor of the year because of "poor protection", and finally the king of Yongwang knew that they were wronged, and did not punish them, but because they stayed by my side for a few years, they were given reuse, but they still couldn't raise their heads for a long time. Fortunately, they will not laugh at me, when I was in the Cold Garden, they were responsible for keeping an eye on my physical condition at any time, and once they saw that I was not good-looking, they had to go to the imperial doctor of the Yongwang Mansion who was responsible for treating me at any time. Although I am now mostly healthy, I am probably still the medicine jar that could die at any time in their minds.

When I stood up, I happened to see Xiao Shunzi rushing into the cavalry formation of the Northern Han Army behind Hu Yanshou, white horses, silver spears and snow robes, majestic, but it made me feel a little jealous, but unfortunately, it was impossible for me to go into battle to kill the enemy. The black and red iron flow is unstoppable, the Northern Han army did not expect that there will be ambushes, for a time the formation was chaotic, and the Qi Wang's department was shocked, fighting hard, at this time, the village has also been alarmed, the door of the village is wide open, only more than 100 people are left in the village cavalry also killed, although the strength of the Dayong army is still not as good as the Northern Han army, but the internal and external attack, the three sides attack, the Northern Han army is in chaos.

Quartz never expected that there would be enemy troops behind him at this time, they had cleared many Dayong's scouts in advance, and the Yong army in those fortresses adhered to the strict orders of the king of Qi, and it was easy not to go out of the village, so he could have besieged and killed the king of Qi steadily, and the Jiang Zhe who "escaped" with the escort was not taken into his eyes, and a strategist with outstanding wisdom was not necessarily a general who could lead the army to fight. If it weren't for Lin Bi's instructions specifically asking Quartz to capture and kill Jiang Zhe, and the envoy of Southern Chu was so insistent, he and Ben would not have sent a thousand people to chase Jiang Zhe, as for Jiang Zhe being able to get out, Quartz definitely didn't expect it, so he and Ben wouldn't have thought that there would be reinforcements nearby. And at a glance at the black and red armor, Quartz's first thought was to think of the safety of the cavalry pursuing Jiang Zhe, and at the same time, the order to block the enemy was inevitably a moment too late, just in such an instant, the defeat was already achieved.

Quartz was very decisive, immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, after the pro-army was broken, the Northern Han Iron Cavalry relied on the number of people, scattered and fled, Quartz just knocked down a Yongjun who was blocking the way, the white shadow flashed in front, a knight in white clothes and white armor blocked his way, the face armor covered the man's face, he couldn't see his appearance, but his figure was not tall, Quartz smiled coldly, he was brave and brave, a lance was lifted, the knight did not dodge, a silver spear poked out obliquely from between the rings, and the guns collided together, Quartz only felt as if he had crashed into a ball of cotton, and the force seemed to be real and empty, and he couldn't help but stumble, and then the knight's silver spear cracked and scattered into a sky full of gun shadows, and countless small and cold air currents stirred up by the tip of the spear rushed towards Quartz. Quartz shouted, the horse lance slashed in the air, the blazing wind blocked the attack of the silver spear, and the sharp sound of a series of blades clashing and the violent wind and waves made no one within a radius of several zhang around the two of them to gain a foothold.

Quartz is a famous military general of the Northern Han Dynasty, although he has also encountered opponents on the battlefield, but it has never been as difficult as today, if it were not for the fact that he noticed that the person's marksmanship and riding skills are very different, and he used his advantage in horsemanship, I am afraid that he would not be able to fight with that person. The two sides fought for more than a dozen rounds, the man gradually gained the upper hand, suddenly the silver spear turned into a meteor and lightning, piercing the defense line of quartz, quartz tried his best to dodge, still pierced the right rib by the man's shot, quartz screamed, regardless of life and death, the horse lance in his hand tried his best to shoot, the man took a step back, quartz turned and fled, more than a dozen guards around him coincidentally blocked the enemy general's offensive, the silver spear turned into a little star shower, and the air flashed brilliant red, when the dozen or so guards died under the silver gun, Quartz had already rushed far away under the protection of the other guards. Seeing that the snow-robed warrior was unable to catch up, he shouted loudly: "Quartz, tell Her Royal Highness Princess Jiaping, just say that Nan Chu has no good intentions, they are just spreading the news, but you are losing troops and losing generals, this snipe and clam are fighting, and the fisherman's strategy of profit is still not clear?" ”

Quartz could hear it in his ears, although he knew that it was to sow discord, but he was still angry in his heart, and he couldn't help but suspect Nan Chu's intentions, according to what the messenger said, the person who instructed him was Lu Can of Nan Chu, and it is said that Lu Can is Jiang Zhe's disciple, doesn't the disciple still know the master's ability, could it be that Lu Can just knows that we can't easily pass the news to us?

I heard Xiao Shunzi's shout from a high place, and a smile appeared on his face, Lu Can and Lin Bi joined forces to harm me, this revenge cannot be avenged, the military leader of the Northern Han Dynasty is Long Tingfei, if Long Tingfei can be wary of Lu Can, then the collusion between the Northern Han and Southern Chu can be avoided too deep, and I can also have less trouble.

After a while, the battlefield had calmed down, and only Sergeant Dayong was left to clean up the aftermath, and I walked up the hill under the protection of several tiger guards. It was only a short distance, and if I had ridden a horse, I would have arrived in a flash, but the inside of my legs was already blurred with flesh and blood, and I really didn't want to ride a horse, and although it was painful to walk, I had to admit it. Walking to the bottom of the mountain, the king of Qi came up with his personal guards, he was covered with scars, blood was messy, very embarrassed, but he didn't take it to heart, as soon as he saw me, he laughed and said: "Suiyun, you are so capable, you will simply command and kill the enemy in the future." ”

I resisted the urge to give him a few glances, and said: "Your Highness, this is embarrassing for me, if I can go into battle to kill the enemy, then even Nanchu can also be used in the army to fight."

At this time, the defenders of the village also came to invite us into the village, I saw that Xiao Shunzi was cleaning up the aftermath with Hu Yanshou and them, and felt that there would be no danger now, so he walked side by side with the king of Qi to the suspension bridge at the entrance of the wall, where there were many corpses, and they had not been cleaned, but everyone here except me was battle-hardened, and no one took it to heart. I could only turn a blind eye and walk towards the village, thinking to myself, it is important to take a shower and change clothes and get some sleep.

Hazy, Li Hu opened his eyes, he was a small cavalry commander under the Flying Tiger General Quartz, who was accidentally stabbed off his horse when he was intercepting reinforcements from Gushan, and happened to hit his head on the rock, so he was unconscious. In the rush of the war, no one noticed that he was not dead, he was in a coma for a long time, until Quartz was defeated and left, so long, no one thought that there would be a living person here. The Yongjun, who were busy cleaning up the battlefield, didn't have time to take care of it, but simply dragged away some of the corpses blocking the drawbridge, and then went to clean up the battlefield, rescue their comrades, and make up for the seriously injured Northern Han army or take it aside. So Li Hu just lay there, no one cared. When he opened his eyes, he saw a general in the golden armor of the royal family and a red robe walking side by side with a scribe in green clothes walking side by side towards the drawbridge. Li Hu's heart burned like a blazing fire, knowing that it must be the defeat of the Northern Han army. Glancing over, Li Hu saw that there was a lance left by someone beside him, and he couldn't think about it, Li Hu tried his last strength, reached out and grabbed the lance, and then suddenly sat up and threw the only weapon in his hand. He saw that almost everyone was wearing battle armor, and he was worried that he would not be able to win it in one fell swoop, but this lance was thrown at the Tsing Yi scribe.

Li Hu, who had exhausted all his strength, only felt that his eyes were black, and after seeing the Tsing Yi scribe who was stabbed in the heart by a walking lance, his body was shaky, and after falling under the bridge in the jaw of everyone around him, Li Hu did not have the strength to resist the Yongjun who rushed over and held him down, and let them be tied up and beaten, his heart was full of joy, and he laughed loudly.
