Chapter 218: Battle of Dawn
Isn't the person on this portrait the girl from Northern Qi that Zhao Xian caught last time? Is she really a spy of Northern Qi?
Su Wanyun was stunned, this 'junior sister' was really unreliable, she sneaked into the Northern Qi Dynasty without leaving the school, she really didn't know whether she was alive or dead.
Su Ho, the leader of the secret guard, was stunned when he saw her, and said eagerly: "Wanyun, have you seen this person?" ”
Now that this 'junior sister' is in Zhao Xian's hands, if she tells her aunt, it will definitely make the matter of capturing Zhao Xian extraneous.
Su Wanyun didn't have the slightest affection for the 'junior sister' who only had a one-sided relationship, and said with a slightly cold face: "No." Auntie, this junior sister ran to Daliang, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find it for a while. Senior Sister Drunken Yan is in Wuchang, as long as she tells her, she will definitely pay more attention. Zhao Xian has already arrived in Northern Qi, and I am afraid that he will soon reach the Xihe area, so let's deal with this matter first. ”
The old woman's eyes flashed eagerly, and she said with a relaxed expression: "Okay, good! When Zhao Xian is taken down, it is not too late to deal with this matter. ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The last rays of spring sunshine fell on the mountain, and in the silence of the deep mountains and old forests, the sound of 'rustling' walked sounded again.
Zhao Xian rode a horse and walked slowly on the fairly flat grass, humming a minor tune as if there was nothing.
The girl of the Northern Qi Dynasty with a bitter face, followed behind with staggering steps, her originally smooth hair, because of the rush for days, was tied by a cloth belt, if she was changing into sportswear, she was like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old student girl.
She walked on the road with one foot deep and one foot shallow, gritting her teeth from time to time to endure the stinging pain in her ankle. Don't forget to look up and say, "Hey! Am I sleepwalking again today? When Xingya said this, there was a slight flush on her face. Even if she was a fool, she should understand how she got to that stinking bed.
Zhao Xian shrugged his shoulders: "Yes!" Crying and shouting to throw yourself into my arms! It took a lot of effort for General Ben to break free! But it makes me sad. ”
"Nonsense!" Xingya glanced at him with disgust and snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know what you did, don't touch me while I'm asleep in the future." ”
"Later?" Zhao Xian shook his head and chuckled: "Miss Xingya, don't you still want to have something to do with me, and settle accounts slowly in the future?" ”
"I..." Xingya wanted to open her mouth to refute, but she was stunned again. Oh, yes! He didn't listen to the dissuasion and insisted on going to Sanyang Town, maybe he would die today, what else to talk about in the future?
I don't know why. A look of hesitation flashed in Xingya's beautiful eyes. After a while, she muttered: "Zhao Xian, there are heavy troops stationed in Sanyang Town, believe it or not." I don't want to be killed by you. ”
Zhao Xian nodded. Called the guards Gao Dashang: "The enemy situation in Sanxia Town is unknown. Diverted to the West River. ”
"What?" Xingya blinked incredulously, pointed at Zhao and said incoherently: "You, do you have any integrity?" It's so easy to change your mind! ”
Zhao Xian shook his head lightly: "If I easily told you my choice." What do you do if you get the word out? At this last minute, you will be temporarily rerouted, and it will be useless for you to do everything. How's that, I'm smart, right? ”
Xing Ya's eyes were full of astonishment, and she nodded thoughtfully: "I have long heard that General Zhao Xian is full of wisdom and is one of the most famous talents in Daliang. Now it seems that it really doesn't live up to its name! ”
Not worthy of the name? Zhao Xian's originally smug smile froze instantly, and he glanced at her with a smile: "It should be worthy of the name, right?" ”
"In vain!" Xingya smiled. Pretty cheeks like blooming flowers, Zhao Xian glanced at it, and was slightly in a trance.
The bright moonlight shone down and shone on Xingya's beautiful face, shining with a bright color. She looked at the clear night sky and grinned: "Since you think you are a famous talent, then, General Zhao Xian, can you tell me, how high is the sky?" ”
Zhao Xian looked at her and smiled slightly: "How big the heart is, how high the sky is." ”
Xingya was slightly stunned, and a brilliant light flashed in her eyes: "It's the first time I've seen such opportunistic tricks, so let me ask you again, how big is the land?" ”
"How broad-chested! The land is as big as it gets! Zhao Xian looked up at the starry sky forty-five degrees, and his back was extremely chic.
"Giggles! You're wrong! Xingya let out a silver bell-like laugh, covered her lips and said proudly: "The earth is round, so it is boundless and never ends." Go ahead and brag! Xingya glared at him angrily, Akari was disdainful, but there was an indescribable style looming.
Zhao Xian stumbled, almost fell off the horse, looked back at her and said, "How do you know that the earth is round?" ”
"Nerd!" Xingya shook her head and said with a smile: "I have traveled around the world since I was a child, and I know more than you. In addition to Daliang and Northern Qi, there are many small barbarian countries in the world, and you must have never seen people who are black and charcoal-like. ”
Zhao Xian secretly rejoiced, the title of nerd actually fell on my head, it really feels good! He laughed a few times: "You've been to Africa before?" It's hot there, right? ”
"Huh?" Xingya was slightly stunned: "How did you know?" ”
Zhao Xian said with a smile: "I also know that there are cannibals who eat people there, and I especially like little girls with fine skin and tender flesh like you, as well as barbarians with yellow hair, blue eyes, and white skin, and ......."
"Zhao Xian, how do you know so many things?" Xingya was secretly surprised, her voice was as thin as a mosquito, and her face flushed, faintly, like the most beautiful rouge. She leaned in front of Zhao Xian and sighed softly: "You can know the world without going out, why aren't you from our Northern Qi Dynasty?!。 ”
The longing in the eyes of the girl of Northern Qi outlined a most attractive curve. Her beautiful cheeks were as red as dye, her eyes were moist as spring water, and her red cherry mouth was slightly fragrant.
"If it's someone from Northern Qi, you're going to recruit me as a concubine?!" Zhao Xian stared at her wonderful figure, swallowed his saliva fiercely, and laughed.
"Think beautifully!" A strange light flashed in Xingya's eyes, her cheeks were slightly red, and she lowered her head slightly: "In this way, although I can't travel around the world in the future, there are people who tell me stories outside, or ......":
"Why don't I return to Northern Qi, right?" Zhao Xian didn't wait for her to finish, then shook his head and laughed. Jumped off the horse and took out the ropes, which restrained her hands.
"Hey! Well, why did you tie me up again? Xingya's face suddenly turned cold, and she couldn't understand this moody General Liang.
Zhao Xian tied her up sturdily, still carrying her on horseback, and said with a soft smile: "Look at how tired you are, take you for a ride!" ”
"Let me down, I'll go by myself!" Xing Yaqi's little face turned pale, she was lying on the back of the horse, her hair sweeping Zhao Xian's military boots. The posture is ugly. It's still uncomfortable to die. What gives me a ride. It's just torturing me!
It's a pity that she resisted stubbornly for a long time, and there was no result, so she had to snort softly and stop talking.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The wind was chilling. Early spring is still cold.
The dawn is coming. Tired soldiers lead fiery horses. There is a weak way to walk forward, I don't know how far I have to go, but with the temper of this General Zhao. It's going to stop at dawn!
A few soldiers walking in front picked a few wild fruits from the trees and stuffed them into their mouths, chatting and cursing each other as they marched forward.
When they reached the ground, they also turned on their horses, trying to sneak a nap on their horses. One of them looked at the hillside in front of him, and there were a few green fruits, and when he looked left and right and saw that no one was paying attention, he ran over and picked one.
Fang was about to stuff it into his mouth, looking at the scene under the hillside, but his pupils slowly began to dilate.
"Whew!" The piercing sound of sharp arrows pierced the silence of the morning, and the strong wind poured into the soldier's mouth and pierced through the back of his head.
West River, arrived.
"Enemy attack!"
I don't know who shouted, and the sleepy soldiers suddenly woke up. Zhao Xian stood quietly on his horse, looking at the Northern Qi cavalry rushing out densely on the hillside, as if he was 'stunned'.
"How is that possible!" Xingya, who was tied to a horse, looked at the large number of cavalry emerging in front of her in disbelief, and said in a lost voice: "There is obviously no army stationed here, who sent it?" ”
Zhao Xian lifted the spear, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Miss Xingya, I was so wary of you, but I didn't expect to be deceived by you." ”
"I didn't!" Xingya was inexplicably aggrieved in her heart, and raised her head angrily: "How could I, Su Xiangning, deceive you into a small Liang general, Xihe was suddenly mobilized to bring in soldiers and horses, which can only mean that you have already been discovered." This, this can't be blamed on me. ”
Xingya looked at the Northern Qi army close at hand, with both expectation and worry in her eyes.
"I don't blame you!" Zhao Xian looked at her aggrieved look, and the thought of putting the responsibility on her couldn't be raised.
He didn't speak, picked up his spear and gathered with five thousand soldiers, and looked coldly at the Northern Qi enemy army that was pouring out half a mile ahead.
"Zhao Xian, let's meet again!" Shi Yuan's face was red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he obviously hadn't slept all night, but he laughed excitedly.
"If you are defeated, you dare to be arrogant in front of me." Zhao Xian drove the horse to lead the army and quickly started the right line. Shi Yuan laughed disapprovingly and said, "Victory or defeat is the common situation of soldiers", today I led 70,000 troops, and made a special trip to meet your driver again, you have no chance of winning at all, or surrender honestly!
The subordinate generals looked left and right, looking at the dense Northern Qi army around them, they all panicked, and some even had a tendency to retreat.
Gao Dashang and other guards ran to Zhao Xian's side, beads of sweat on his forehead, holding the knife and saying angrily: "Young master, we have planted the trap of Northern Qi, and the hearts of our subordinates are chaotic, we can't fight hard, look for an opportunity to break through!"
Zhao Xian clenched the barrel of the gun tightly, gritted his teeth and said: "Looking for an opportunity to break through, General Yue has already left a way back, as long as he retreats to the riverside."
Gao Dashang and the others nodded again and again, looked left and right, and suddenly found that a mountain recess in the north corner had not yet completed the encirclement.
Everyone was overjoyed and didn't dare to delay any longer, Pegasus pounced directly, throwing away his armor all the way, so he was not embarrassed.
Shi Yuan quietly watched Zhao Xian flee, a faint sneer flashed in his eyes, and he shouted softly: "Take my bow!"
He held a longbow, aimed at Zhao Xian's vest, the bow was like a full moon, and said lightly: Commander Su, as long as you surrender, I will leave you a way to live, you were a man in the past, why did you flee in a panic today? The scar from the back is a man's shame!
After speaking, he smiled feverishly, and the arrow was like a meteor, and it struck straight away with a piercing hiss.
"Hey! Be careful. Xingya saw that Zhao Xian was defenseless, and even looked a little dazed, and the ghost reminded him loudly.
The reminder arrived almost simultaneously with the neighing behind him, and he barely had time to lean slightly before he felt a powerful blow at him, and the sharp pain in his shoulder nearly tore him off his horse.
"Ahh The blood was cheap to the face of the girl of Northern Qi. It's like hot lava. She was shocked by the sight in front of her, only to see the shameless general who had flaunted his might to her in the past few days, his shoulder was pierced by a long arrow, and blood kept dripping down. His face twitched, but his eyes were unusually calm.
The small mouth opened slightly, Xingya looked at Zhao Xian who was still pressing her on the horse with her hand to prevent her from falling, her mind was instantly confused, and she scolded loudly: "Stop me, don't let go of the arrows, I want to live."
Zhao Xian coughed a few times. Bowed his head and gritted his teeth, "Miss Xingya." What do you want to do if you want to live me? ”
"You bastard, who's going to ride a horse when you're dead." Xingya was angry and anxious, and tears rolled down: "You liar." Said he would let me go. If you die now, will I still be safe? I promised you that you would be safe and sound. Hurry up and surrender!
"I am the descendant of Zhenguo Gong, you don't abandon me, I don't abandon you. I'm not going to surrender. Zhao Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly, gagged her mouth with the brocade cloth in his arms, and the flying horse galloped away.
Xihe to Tianxing, when the old forest was deep in the mountains, everyone spent three days, and went back to walk the avenue and galloped quickly, and saw the Yangtze River in the afternoon.
On the way, the army pursued by the Northern Qi Dynasty always left a gap in accordance with Su Wanyun's orders, so that Zhao Xian could reach the riverside. The people who were almost desperate gradually saw hope again.
People were sleepy and tired, and Northern Qi seemed to be tired, far behind Zhao Xian and the others, watching them flee to the river.
Su Wanyun, who was in Wuchang, also hurried here, and kept issuing orders to the surrounding troops not to act rashly.
With a long neighing of the fierce horse, the cavalry who took the lead in escaping to the riverside stood on the riverbank, and his face changed from excitement to stiffness, and then turned to horror: "The boat? Shipped? ”
On the calm river, there was only a lone boat used by civilians swaying left and right, and the girder flotilla that was supposed to meet here did not have a shadow at all.
This sound was like an infectious disease, and it instantly hit countless people in the army. Gao Dashang's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Okay, you Yue Pingyang, actually... It turned out to be ......"
Zhao Xian's shoulders were still dripping with blood, his lips were slightly pale, but his face was unusually calm: "Prepare to fight." ”
The morale of the army has been dispersed, and the armor is lost on the road, so how can we talk about facing the battle?
The soldiers of Daliang, who were already in despair, rushed to the fishing boat, but because there were many monks and few porridges, some people fell into the river from time to time. The guards kept scolding, and even cut down a few people, so they didn't fight for the boat, but they still jumped into the river without hesitation and swam away with the water.
On the shore, only the two hundred guards given to him by Old Man An were silent, firmly guarding Zhao Xian's surroundings, and even the horses did not make a few sounds.
Zhao Xian tightened the long plastic in his hand, looked at the guards around him who swore to defend him, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry for you, really, I regret it now." ”
"Young Master!" Gao Dashang held his head high, gritted his teeth and said: "Hundreds of men die in the border every day, so why don't we slack this life." We are An Jiajun, you are the descendants of An Jia, we can die, you can't. ”
The tall guard pointed to the small fishing boat by the river: "Young master, let's go." After that, the horizontal knife immediately led two hundred guards, and shouted angrily: "Charge with me, and cut off the queen for the young master." ”
"You bastard, what have you done?" Xingya turned her head and spit out the cotton cloth in her mouth, staring at him angrily: "Surrender!" I keep you from dying. ”
"Surrender? Surrender and I won't come in vain. Looking deeply at the guards who were charging with their backs to him, Zhao Xian almost gritted his teeth, and angrily turned around and rushed towards the river.
"This guy actually abandoned his subordinates and wanted to escape?" Shi Yuan was carrying a big hammer and was about to fight Zhao Xian to the death, but he didn't expect Zhao Xian to pat the horse's ass and run away.
He was stunned, and in the distance there were a few fast horses, on which sat three men and women dressed in white.
At the foreground was Soho, the leader of the secret guards, who galloped to the top of the riverbank, looked at the back of the distant figure that had almost turned into a black spot, and said angrily, "Shoot him!" If he can't catch him, he will shoot him to death, let him return to the beam, and even An Chen will not be able to rebel. ”
"No!" Su Wanyun's face was covered with a veil, her eyes were tangled, and she shook her head hurriedly: "Never, Senior Sister Liu has his child, aunt, you... Let him live! ”
"Bastard!" The old woman's body trembled: "The major affairs of the country, how can you estimate your personal feelings, when I taught you back then, didn't you hear it in your heart?" ”
What are you running for, this idiot? Ling Xian was anxious, and he couldn't find an excuse for a long time. Su Wanyun's expression stiffened, looking at the old woman and shaking her head slowly, she didn't care about Senior Sister Liu's feelings at all, and it was probably expected, even if it was herself, she could make her change her mind!
"What are you still doing? Shoot the arrows! The old woman shouted loudly, and the Northern Qi soldiers immediately bowed into the full moon and shot overwhelmingly towards the river.
The bowl-sized horses' hooves rose and fell one after another, splashing up puffs of dust.
The black horse snorted and shook his head, trying to turn around and charge with the guards.
Perhaps it is accustomed to the glory of rushing to the front, even if it dies in the next second, it is better than hiding in the stable to survive.
Zhao Xian's eyes were blood-red, and in an instant, a few feather arrows were inserted in his back.
Xingya dodged the rain of arrows in his arms, and said angrily: "You stupid, you surrender!" Do you want to kill me with me? You said you would let me go, why did you drag me to death with you. ”
The black horse stopped with a long hiss, and the riverside arrived.
Zhao Xian grabbed her with his hand, threw her into the small fish boat in the river, cut the rope with a knife, and stared at her as she gradually moved away: "What I promised you, I will give it to you now." And what I owe to the next two hundred brothers, I must pay them back. ”
"Hey! Feed! "Watching the Pegasus run back and greet General Liang of the Northern Qi Army, with feather arrows on his back, is so shocking.
Xingya looked at him incredulously, and he ran to the river with a scolding on his back, but it turned out to be just a promise to 'guarantee that you are safe and sound'. If you can escape, why don't you escape?
Her eyes gradually moistened, and she fell on the edge of the boat and said angrily, "You bastard! You're back! I'll keep you safe, why don't you trust me?" (To be continued......)
