Chapter 103 The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and the flowers are blooming again
"Quick, faster!" The Fox of Weisha led the way, looking back from time to time and shouting in a loud greeting, but his voice was soon drowned out by the increasingly dense, thunderous rumbling of hooves.
On the horizon to the north and east, small black dots that could already hold up to a long time like black ants were wriggling rapidly, and the sky in both directions was almost obscured by the noisy smoke and dust, and Aro whipped his horse vigorously, staring directly at the small group of knights in front of him, while roaring loudly and angrily, urging his subordinates to hurry up.
Zhu Qizhen, whose face was pale, whipped the healthy horse on his body hard, as if he wanted to squeeze out the last bit of energy of the mount on his body, and he had already run for more than ten miles on this open land, and the Yutai Ridge, which seemed to be close at hand, was still in the distance as far as the eye could see.
"No, if it goes on like this, the horses won't be able to travel five miles at all." One of the guards couldn't help but shout loudly, in exchange for a whip from the head of the guard beside him. "Powerful nonsense, it's better to speed up a little faster."
Hearing the shouts of the chief of the guard, the guard whose hat had been pulled away could only grit his teeth and continue to gallop on his horse with all his might. However, almost all of the healthy horses under them were already covered in sweat, and their steps were already a little sluggish.
Seeing that the Yutai Ridge was only a mile at most, and the tile spur iron horse that had been copied diagonally was at least two miles away, Zhu Qizhen's originally tense heartstrings had just loosened slightly, and he suddenly felt that the healthy horse on his body was short after a sad roar, and his body was suspended lightly in the blink of an eye, and he heard a piercing exclamation and scream in his ears, and he felt that his waist was tight, as if something had pulled him hard, and then he hit a strong and powerful body.
Zhu Qizhen tried hard to open his eyes, only to realize that he was being taken by Nana Ren on her horse in mid-air. However, because of the obstruction of Zhu Qizhen's mount, the more than 20 riders in the rear couldn't help but slow down.
"How's it going, are you alright?" Naren also restrained Aima so that Na Zhu Qizhen could land smoothly, and asked with concern.
"Nothing...... Hiss. As soon as Zhu Qizhen's feet landed, he felt a piercing pain coming from the condyle. Damn, it looks like the healthy horse just now stumbled, and the horse's pedal hung on the condyle.
-------------------- saw Zhu Qizhen's feet stumble as soon as he landed, if it weren't for Naren holding Zhu Qizhen's hand from the horse, maybe he would have fallen to the ground at this time, seeing his situation, everyone who stopped couldn't help but change their faces, and the Weisha fox, who was originally at the front of the team, had now come to Zhu Qizhen's horse that was lying on the ground and struggling with his mount, only glanced at it, and shook his head helplessly.
"Brother Zhu, come, get on my horse, we can still rush over." Seeing Zhu Qizhen's expression of pain, Naren gritted his teeth and wanted to pull Na Zhu Qizhen onto his horse, Zhu Qizhen gritted his teeth, endured the great pain, and jumped on Naren's mount with his strength, hugged Naren's slender waist, and let Naren drive the mount to continue to run forward.
However, the mount had long been exhausted, and in a short distance, it was like a thousand mountains and rivers far away, seeing that the tile thorn iron cavalry outflanked from the east and south was getting closer and closer to the gap, until it caught up with them and blocked their way forward, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but close his eyes in despair.
At this time, Zhu Qizhen suddenly heard the sudden roar of surprise from Yuan Bin and the others behind him, and his closed eyes suddenly widened. From the end of the cross-cut mountain range, a Ming cavalry with a dragon flag of the Ming Regiment, red jackets and blue armor had already rushed out, and the swift speed was like a brightly colored electric snake, swooping towards the tile spur cavalry that had not yet reacted and intercepted the advance path of Zhu Qizhen and others.
The swords of the snow were raised one after another, like a forest of knives, as if in the blink of an eye, the unprepared tile spur cavalry didn't even have time to turn the mount on their bodies, and they had been bumped into by those murderous Daming iron horses, smashed and knocked away...... At this moment, Zhu Qizhen, who had experienced the bottom of despair, finally saw hope, a hope to be able to live and return to his own historical track. He couldn't help but clench his fists and curse viciously.
With the sudden killing of this Daming Iron Horse, the torrent of the Tile Thorn Iron Horse couldn't help but stagnate, and it seemed a little unbelievable that there would actually be a Ming army here.
After the more than 1,000 vigorous Daming iron cavalry smashed the encirclement formed by the Nawa Thorn cavalry, they did not pause at all, and rushed straight to Zhu Qizhen and his party, and then surrounded them.
The leader was none other than Wang Jinchang, the governor of Nadu, and Wang Jinchang, whose war knife in his hand was already stained with the blood of the thorn thorn tartar, glanced at everyone, and finally landed on Zhu Qizhen, who was riding with Naren, and his face couldn't help but show doubts.
"Brother Wang, the emperor is here, quickly escort!" Gao Yun had already seen the faces of the people who came, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and shouted loudly.
Hearing this, Wang Jinchang, who had just looked at Zhu Qizhen from a distance at the head of Xuanfu City, couldn't help but be overjoyed. When he clenched his fists in his chest, he shouted loudly: "Weichen see the emperor." The military situation is tense, please forgive the emperor for not being able to pay full salutes. ”
After saluting, Wang Jinchang glanced at the 10,000-watt thorn iron horse that seemed to be slowing down, and Wang Jinchang, who knew that the situation was in danger, took a deep breath and shouted: "Brothers, the emperor is here, we have welcomed the emperor's holy drive, and now, the tile thorn tartar wants to rob the emperor back, what should we do?!" ”
"Protect the holy driver, kill the Tartar!" More than a thousand Daming iron horsemen raised their swords with their red-hot eyes on Zhu Qizhen, who had already stood up with the great pain of his hips on horseback, raised the war knife in his hand, and roared in unison.
"Brothers, rest assured, the brothers of the reinforcements can arrive with a pillar of incense at most, as long as we can protect the emperor, it will be a great achievement, and we will be rich and rich, so we will fight today!" Wang Jinchang spat viciously at Xingzi, loudly boosting morale.
Zhu Qizhen heard Wang Jinchang's words, and shouted loudly in understanding. "I hereby swear that whoever dies on the battlefield will receive a pension of 100 taels, 50 acres of fertile land, and 50 years of tax exemption."
Hearing this, more than 1,000 soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then burst out with an unprecedented shout: "Long live the emperor!" The sound was so loud that it seemed to drown out the sound of the iron hooves of the rumbling thorn tartars.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help grinning, damn, it seems that material wealth and spiritual wealth must be grasped with both hands, and both hands must be hard.
As more than 1,000 Daming iron cavalry began to gather the army and set up the formation, Wang Jinchang had already arrived at the side of Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qizhen tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart and nodded towards Wang Jinchang. "I wonder how many men and horses General Wang brought? When will reinforcements arrive? ”
"Wechen has 1,300 horsemen under his command, and there are more than 2,000 foot soldiers coming behind him, Wechen has already lit a beacon fire before leaving, and it doesn't take much to think about it, Yang Neng, Yang Xin's soldiers and horses, as well as the soldiers of the surrounding forts, will rush over. When the time comes, the emperor will be safe. ”
-------------------- "Let's take a look, I just hope that this old guy is not too impulsive, if it is really a rush up......" Zhu Qizhen glanced left and right, although it has now been surrounded by more than 1,000 Daming iron horsemen in the center, however, the periphery is more than 10,000 tile thorn elites, and at this time, more tile thorn tartars once again blocked the encirclement that Wang Jinchang and they broke through.
That is to say, if their more than 1,000 cavalry, if they are like trapped beasts in a cage, whether they can survive depends on whether the other soldiers and horses can arrive in time, and of course, it also depends on whether Ala, the general of the tile spur, is bent on his own surname.
Looking at the tile spur iron rider who slowly surrounded him, for a while, Zhu Qizhen's palms were already full of sweat. All of them were nervously on guard, and the bows and crossbows were already wound, ready to engage in battle.
The wrinkled old face of Ah Ra, who had already shown a relieved smile on his face, had become extremely ugly when Wang Jinchang led the more than 1,000 Ming iron horses to appear, but he was the general of the tile spur after all, and he ordered again and again, with a desolate whimpering horn, the more than 10,000 tile iron horses not only rushed up, but were evenly squeezed into a semicircle, slowly squeezing towards the more than 1,000 Ming iron horses located in the open land at the foot of the mountain. Relying on the momentum of the crowd, it slowly added pressure to the hearts of Zhu Qizhen and the others.
Finally, when he was about a mile away from the place where the Ming cavalry gathered, Ah Ra ordered the whole army to suspend the pace of the march, and personally led the hundred guards to the place where the Ming iron cavalry was a stone's throw away, and shouted: "The great tomorrow is here, the old man is the left prime minister, please see the great tomorrow." ”
"I, Emperor Ming Dynasty, can see you if you want to?!" Wang Jinchang couldn't help but be annoyed, and was about to open his mouth to scold, but was stopped by Zhu Qizhen raising his hand. "What's the point of letting me go and see him, I can delay some time."
"But Your Majesty ......" Wang Jinchang was about to say more, but when he saw Zhu Qizhen's resolute expression, he had to accept the order.
Zhu Qizhen, under the protection of dozens of Daming iron horses, also slowly moved forward, and came to a place that was only a few dozen steps away from Na A, and said loudly: "The old general is not harmed. ”
Hearing this, Ah Ra almost crooked his mouth angrily, what are you talking about, the old man has been chasing you for a day, you are good, don't come unharmed......
