Volume 3 Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains 135 Dangers are everywhere
Wang Shijie reorganized the soldiers and horses in a very orderly manner, and as soon as the soldiers brought the order, there was a small officer in a thousand uniforms, reorganized 300 soldiers, quickly lined up, each with a weapon, and ran quickly to the west.
To the west of Tongguan is a lively town built by the pass, an official road runs through the middle of the town, and there are many merchants and residents on both sides. This group of soldiers trotted forward, shouting trumpets in their mouths, repulsing the idlers who were watching the bustle on both sides of the official road, and the new advance was also very fast.
Qiu Yizhi saw that their ranks were neat and their military appearance was quite neat, and his heart was a little fixed, but he didn't expect them to run forward a few steps, and suddenly heard a low and distant sound of a horn from under the pass.
It stands to reason that the market is nothing more than the sound of chickens and dogs barking and vendors barking. When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little weird, and he was about to listen to the truth, but he saw countless people dressed in black flashing out of the houses and residences on both sides of the official road, holding swords and attacking the official army.
They were a sneak attack, and they seemed to be quite martial, so Wang Shijie's guards were killed more than half of them before they had time to resist, and the rest of them saw that they couldn't resist it, so they immediately pulled out their legs and fled to Tongguan.
Qiu Yizhi shouted: "It's not good! These men in black are accomplices to the people who are in front of them, and they must have a plan! ”
Sure enough, as Qiu Yi expected, after those black-clothed men succeeded in one blow, they did not chase the defeated soldiers in a chaotic manner, but quickly hid in the roadside houses under the leadership of a leader. Their movements were extremely secret and swift, as if half of the battle had never existed at all.
Lin Shuhan, who was short-sighted, finally condescended to see what was happening in the town, and hurriedly said in Qiu Yizhi's ear: "These people must be weird. And they went to the twenty or thirty men who were in front of them. Presumably, their accomplices drove their opponents into the town, and they were about to launch a sneak attack again! ”
Lin Shuhan's words, Qiu Yizhi was still in the aftertaste, but he heard Yu Chi Jiming exclaim: "Ah! That's not my dad! ”
Qiu Yizhi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Your father?" Is it Yu Chi Lianghong? Where is it? ”
Yu Chi Jiming stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and replied, "The one in the white robe is the one!" ”
Qiu Yizhi looked in the direction of Yu Chi Jiming's finger, and sure enough, he saw that among the twenty or thirty people, there was a white robe in the crowd that was killing left and right, majestic, but there was obviously a lot of injuries on his feet, and he seemed to be a little powerless when he fell together-sure enough, it was Yu Chi Lianghong who was injured in his feet when he secretly jumped down from Tongguan a few days ago!
Qiu Yizhi was even more panicked when he saw this, and hurriedly grabbed Wang Shijie and said, "Did you hear it?" Yu Chi Lianghong is down there! Then he ordered the door to be opened, and I will send troops over to help him! ”
Wang Shijie, a tall and mighty general, was held by the collar by Qiu Yizhi, a small man, and said with a smile: "This ...... Didn't the Holy Decree say that the door should be closed......"
"! When is it, still mentioning the holy decree! My brother is in trouble, you can't open the door? Qiu Yizhi scolded again.
At this time, Yu Chi Jiming exclaimed again: "Little uncle, who do you see the person in the red robe?" ”
Qiu Yizhi's hand holding Wang Shijie's collar did not let go of the slightest, and turned his head to look at the pass, but saw that there was indeed a person wearing a red brocade robe, and his face was very familiar. When this person gradually approached under the escort of Yu Chi Lianghong, Qiu Yizhi finally saw his face clearly, but he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth - this person was none other than his third brother, Zheng Miao, the third highness of the capital Luoyang Prison State!
Things have progressed to this point, and the situation is already clear. The group of black-clothed people came prepared, in order to intercept Zheng Miao, and the main one of them was Zheng Miao's eldest brother Zheng Xin, who had lost his human morality.
The twenty or thirty guards guarding Zheng Miao by the Eye of Qiu Yi and the wounded Wei Chi Lianghong were becoming more and more inferior under the siege of assassins several times their size, and they were rapidly retreating towards the pass. And on their way, there were other black-clothed assassins in ambush, and if they were besieged, Zheng Miao would probably not be able to retreat with all his body.
Thinking of this, Qiu Yizhi hurriedly ordered: "Wang Shijie, you immediately open the closed door, and my soldiers and horses will go to save people!" ”
Wang Shijie said: "Your Highness Yi, please rest assured, I will send someone else down, and I will definitely rescue Daxia Yuchi, please rest assured." ”
Qiu Yizhi roared: "What do you know? See? The person who passed the red robe below was Zheng Miao, the third prince of the dynasty. This group of black-clothed gangsters is here to assassinate him, and if His Royal Highness is killed in front of your eyes, you will have 10,000 heads cut off! ”
Such news made Wang Shijie, who had also seen several big scenes, tremble with fright when he heard it, and stammered and asked, "Righteous ...... Your Highness, this ...... This...... Is this true? ”
Qiu Yi walked down the gate while saying, "What did I lie to you? Why don't you open and close the door soon? If it's a little too late, I'll be the first person to kill you! ”
Now, Wang Shijie finally ordered the door to be opened that had been closed for a long time......
Yu Chi Jiming saw his father in danger from afar, of course he was anxious, and he used his best light skills to reach the gate before he closed the door, looked up and saw Qiu Yizhishang walking halfway, and hurriedly urged: "Little uncle, hurry up, hurry up!" ”
Qiu Yizhi heard her words, staggered under his feet, almost rolled down the stairs, quickly stabilized his footsteps, stretched out his head and saw that the thick and tight Tongguan gate was gradually opened a gap, so he condescendingly ordered loudly: "Zhao Chengxiao, you will go out of the pass to meet the enemy." The enemy army is dressed in black and is ambushed in the town, so be careful! Ji Ming has seen the reality clearly on the wall, and you have to act with her! ”
Zhao Chengxiao listened to Qiu Yi's tone very urgently, and knew that the matter must be urgent, so he didn't wait for the door to be completely opened, so he ordered his soldiers to line up in a column and rush out of the gap in the closed door.
He had just heard Qiu Yizhi say that someone was ambushing in the town ahead, and knew that this battle would be dangerous, and he was about to ask Wei Chi Jiming, but he didn't expect that this little girl had already flown out, and she didn't know where to run in the blink of an eye.
According to what he saw on the top of the wall, regardless of whether there was an ambush and attack by a man in black, he rushed along the official road to his father Wei Chi Lianghong.
The group of black-clothed assassins who were ambushed on both sides of the official road had just defeated the official army without bloodshed, and their morale was high, so it was inevitable that they would be a little contemptuous.
The leader felt strange, and was about to send a few people to stop him, but he saw Zhao Chengxiao's brigade coming out of the wall behind him, and the momentum was violent, which was very different from the previous officers and soldiers, and quickly focused his attention on Zhao Chengxiao.
This group of black-clothed people is really the confidants of Zheng Xin, the eldest son of the emperor, they were recruited by Zheng Xin personally in Shanshan Road, and they were so powerful and trained that only Zheng Xin and no one else were in their eyes. As for the leader, he was the head of a bandit family in Shanxi, who was personally encircled by Zheng Xin and fed with silver, and he was loyal to Zheng Xin.
Therefore, the leader didn't care what Zhao Chengxiao's origin was, and he wasn't even sure if he was coming at him, but he only felt that they might hinder his mission, so he did not hesitate to order an attack on him.
Zhao Chengxiao had just listened to Qiu Yizhi's instructions, and had already made preparations, and when he was marching, he had already instructed his brothers to run a few steps slower than to maintain a tight formation. He also saw some unusual movements in the houses on the left and right, and it was expected that there must be an enemy ambush, so he let out a long roar: "Brothers, be careful! ”
The more than 200 people under his command were all brothers who had been born and died, and they had already had a tacit understanding, so when they heard the order, they immediately slowed down their pace, and looked around, and sure enough, there were enemy troops dressed in black and rushing towards him. This group of battle-hardened warriors, seeing that although the opponent was menacing, none of them were afraid of retreating, and they had already lined up in groups of three or five stragglers, ready to meet the enemy.
One side was premeditated, and the other side was not completely defenseless, and a scuffle began.
Although Zhao Chengxiao and the others had more elite weapons and stronger martial arts, after all, the opponent had a numerical advantage and occupied a favorable formation, which made Zhao Chengxiao unable to break through their siege for a while.
At this time, Qiu Yizhi also ran from outside the gate, and saw that Zhao Chengxiao was still entangled with the group of black-clothed people, and he was rarely moved: "Zhao Chengxiao, what are you doing?" Why don't you rush to save someone? It's been so long, don't you know any priorities? If you have mistaken my great things, see how I punish you! ”
Zhao Chengxiao had never heard Qiu Yizhi speak to himself in such a tough tone, and hurriedly urged his soldiers to slaughter bravely, wanting to first retreat the enemy troops who came out of the ambush on both sides, so he took the opportunity to get rid of their entanglement and moved closer to Zheng Miao and Wei Chi Lianghong.
But I didn't expect that this group of black-clothed people were extremely good at fighting, and their purpose was extremely clear, they had just been killed and retreated a few steps, and then they were pressed up again, just like a sticky and hot dog skin plaster, which really couldn't be shaken off or removed.
Seeing such a situation, Qiu Yizhi was extremely anxious, and really wanted to break out of the battle single-handedly and rush to the side of the third brother Zheng Miao. However, the official road, which was not narrow, was completely congested by the two teams of nearly 500 people who were in a melee.
Qiu Yizhi looked at it several times and wanted to fool the past, but he was stopped by the rain of bullets.
At this moment, Wang Shijie led the Tongguan reinforcements and finally arrived, Qiu Yizhi saw that there were four or five hundred of them, and the morale of the main general Wang Shijie personally led the army was still quite high, so he ran to Wang Shijie's side and ordered: "This group of black-clothed bandits will be handed over to you to deal with, and I will go to protect the Third Highness." ”
Wang Shijie agreed, and said: "Your Highness Yi, don't worry, what I have brought is only the vanguard, and I have already called the deputy general to mobilize the remaining 3,000 soldiers in Tongguan, and I can come over to suppress the bandits immediately." ”
Qiu Yizhi didn't have time to praise, so he only said: "Okay, then don't make too much noise here, why don't you hurry up?" ”
Wang Shijie also knew that it had reached the point of a desperate moment, and a hesitation was the difference between life and death, so he didn't care about the system anymore, and he took the two maces he was used to in his hands and entered the battle.
Wang Shijie is worthy of being a general from Lao Youyan, his martial arts are not weak, and as soon as he clashed with the enemy, he smashed the heads of the two men in black.
But the group of soldiers guarding the pass under him were all veterans, and they refused to use their lives sincerely, so anxious that Wang Shijie gave a death order: "If you are afraid of the enemy, you will not be spared." ”
