Chapter 164: Captive
Ahsan was injured.
Because when Ji Qingchen's Qinglong Horse Lance stabbed at her, although there was a guard beside her who gave up his body to block the Qinglong Horse Lance that flew over, but because the strength of the Qinglong Horse Lance was extraordinarily strong, the horse lance passed through the body of this guard, and the tip of the lance still pierced Ah San's left shoulder.
This is the real reason for the rapid retreat of the Asan army!
At this moment, in a dilapidated tent, Ahsan was lying weakly on a sheepskin mattress, staring at Ao Fang in front of him with a pale face.
Ao Fang, since the disappearance of the Great River battle, Ah Sang has never seen his trace, but just yesterday she fought with Ji Qingchen's cavalry battalion, was injured and retreated here, only to meet this broken general with less than eight hundred left on the way. At that time, Ah Sang was too seriously injured to ask the reason for the defeat of Ao Fang on the banks of the Great River in time, but today her injuries were under control, so she summoned Ao Fang to his eyes and asked him where he had been in the past few days?
Ao Fang didn't dare to hide it and told Ah Sang the truth.
After listening to Ao Fang's narration, Ah Sang didn't speak for a long time, just frowned and sighed a few times.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess-" The angry brother was very guilty, he felt that he had failed his cousin's entrustment and failed to protect His Royal Highness the Princess, and he was about to ask Ah Sang for his guilt, but he heard the mouth say, "The defeat in the battle on the banks of the Great River has nothing to do with you, it was my judgment error, you don't have to take responsibility." ”
Ao Fang was taken aback, and looked at Ah Sang in disbelief. The defeat on the banks of the Great River, he had long expected what Ahsan would do with him, and he would tell the truth just now, this time he didn't expect to go back alive. But now Ahsan not only did not pursue his charges, but also said that she had made a mistake in her own judgment.
This made Ao Fang a little unbelievable, why would Her Royal Highness the princess, who was arrogant in Beirong, say such a thing today.
Seeing Ao Fang's surprised and puzzled gaze, Ah Sang sighed and said, "Because of the bad first impression when I met Taniguchi, I misjudged the combat effectiveness of the cavalry battalion around him, when you didn't fight him before, I really didn't believe that none of them were injured in more than a thousand people, but how could you lose three thousand elite horses?" But since last night's battle with him and his cavalry battalion, I know that Uncle Eleventh and Uncle Twelfth have such a high opinion of him, because he is indeed strong, not only is he strong, resourceful, and brave, but even the guards around him are incredibly powerful. ”
Ahsan paused for a moment, and then continued, "You know how my 10,000 iron guards are fighting, but when we clashed with his cavalry battalion yesterday, as soon as we got into each other, he used a rain of arrows and a charge to finish off my 3,000 iron guards. And yesterday's battle, the two sides fought for a stick of incense, I don't know how many people his personal guards lost, my personal guards lost 5,800 people in the battle, not including the 700 wounded, and he alone, yesterday the battle killed about 70 people. ”
"This is a formidable and formidable enemy!" Ah Sang sighed, "Whether it's my misjudgment this time, I'm afraid it's my father Khan's misjudgment." ”
Ao Fang didn't know how to comfort Ah San, so he could only remain silent.
"Just now you said that you were chased and killed by a Yan general for more than 300 miles, so you didn't contact me, is this general you said really so powerful? Just leading thirty elite horsemen will push you to this point. Ahsan asked curiously.
"Ao Fang didn't dare to lie to the princess, he was indeed the strongest enemy Ao Fang had encountered since he followed the Great Khan King to fight." Ao Fang said with emotion, "As for how powerful he is, the prince can know his combat effectiveness by looking at his knife." ”
"Well, let me see!" Ah Sang said with a little difficulty, she was weak and couldn't support it after talking to Ao Fang for such a short time.
Ao Fang nodded and walked out of the big tent.
Suddenly, he walked into the tent with a war knife.
"Wolf Blade—" Seeing the first glance of the war knife in Ao Fang's hand, Ahsan exclaimed. Because she was too familiar with this war knife, this was not only Ji Qingchen's war knife, but also the battle knife that the Xiao Cavalry Battalion neatly cut off her six hundred iron guards' heads in the first charge yesterday.
"It's a wolf blade, but the materials and workmanship are much inferior to Ji Qingchen's, but it's also a rare Hundred Battles Treasure Knife." Ao Fang exclaimed, and held the copycat version of the wolf blade knife in front of Ah San.
"So, the general who was killed by you and a thousand Yellow Flag Elite Cavalry was born in Ji Qingchen's Xiao Cavalry Battalion?" Ahsan didn't take the knife because he didn't have the strength.
"Yes." Ao Fang affirmed, "And it's not an ordinary cavalry battalion soldier, it's Ji Qingchen's henchman." ”
"No wonder!" Ahsan sighed, "Do you know his name?" ”
"Before he died, he said that his name was Yang Zhixing." Ao Fang said.
"It's this person!" When Ah Sang heard Ao Fang's name Yang Zhixing, she seemed to know Yang Zhixing very well, but her words were to the point, and she was silent for a moment before she said to Ao Fang, "You are not wronged in his hands!" ”
"What about his corpse? Is it well buried? Ahsan asked.
The Beijung people worship strength, so as long as they are warriors, whether you are an enemy or a companion, as long as you die in battle, you will be properly buried.
"I've buried him!" Ao Fang said.
Speaking of Yang Zhixing, his tone was very humble, which showed that he also admired this general of Yan who chased him for more than 300 miles before he was killed by his cavalry.
"Alright, you go down, remember to keep this war knife properly." Ahsan said tiredly.
"Yes." Ao Fang received the order, and he stopped talking. Seeing this, Ahsan asked, "Is there anything else you can do?" ”
"Princess, do you want me to make arrangements, we are stationed here like this, is it possible to encounter Ji Qingchen's sneak attack?" Ao Bai asked for his life, because he was a little suspicious of overstepping his bounds, so he was so worried.
"Now that Ji Qingchen has gotten rid of us, and he wants to return to Caozhou in a hurry, he will definitely not take me seriously." Ahsan said in frustration, "However, it's better to be careful, you can go and set it up." ”
"Yes." Ao Fang received the order, and then left the big tent in stride.
……
It seems that because Ahsan was injured, the Iron Guard Elite Cavalry lost its backbone, and their defenses became a little lax, and it didn't take long for the cavalry scouts to successfully find the camp of Ahsan's army.
In the night, Ji Qingchen, who was standing on a small hill on horseback, quietly looked at the Beirong Iron Guard camp under the slope, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a cruel sneer.
"Have you decided on Ahsan's tent?" Ji Qingchen asked Li Changzheng beside him.
"Sure, they put her in the worst tent in the camp for her safety." Li Changzheng said, his tone was cold, like an unsheathed war knife.
"When we attack the camp later, the army must not fall in love, we must go straight to Ahsan's tent, and we must break through it and capture Ahsan alive before the Ahsan guards find us and have not yet defended the tent, so that we can have a chance to kill more enemies at a lower cost, otherwise we will pay a heavy price even if the camp is successful tonight." Ji Qingchen said.
"No!" Li Changzheng and Zuo Zongquan received the order, and the two of them were the main generals of tonight's attack on the camp, because Ji Qingchen, as the commander, rarely participated in such an absolutely certain victory. This is Ji Qingchen's teacher Li Qingyi's advice to him, saying that a master general does not need to charge into battle all the time, so it is estimated that before a war is over, you have already died in battle; As the commander of an army, what you need is for you to stand up at critical moments and be able to live and die with the soldiers.
Because Ji Qingchen believed in the words of his teacher Li Qingyi, he had fought with Beirong so many times, except for a few battles, he adhered to the teacher's teachings and did not personally participate in the battle.
But what he did did did not affect his image of being tall and brave in the army. Because at critical moments, when the soldiers need him, he can often stand at the forefront of the army and face the most powerful enemy.
"Let's go!" Ji Qingchen ordered.
Li Changzheng and Zuo Zongquan received the order, and immediately led a battalion of five hundred cavalry to rush down the hillside and rush to the camp of Asang Tiewei, leaving only thirty people for Ji Qingchen.
Smack!
Pap-
The sound of the horses' hooves woke up the dark night sky, covering the deep sky with a layer of haze. But when the sound of the horse's hooves reached the bottom of the hill, the Iron Guard camp did not react at all, because at this time there were less than 4,000 Iron Guard cavalry left, and they were now demoralized and licking their wounds in their tents after being hit so hard for the first time.
Therefore, when Li Changzheng and Zuo Zongquan's army rushed to the gate of Yuan, they were discovered by the guards guarding the gate of Yuan, and the four guards discovered the enemy, and were about to blow the trumpet to alert the camp, but with a "whoosh", a feather arrow quickly and accurately shot through his throat and fell to the ground.
"Kill—" Li Changzheng roared, and was the first to rush into the Iron Guard's camp, aiming for Ah San's dilapidated tent. And Zuo Zongquan, who rushed into the Tiewei camp with Li Changzheng, did not kill the broken tent with Li Changzheng, but led a group of elite horsemen to kill directly to the Tiewei stable.
"There is an enemy-" Li Changzheng rushed into the camp and galloped forward a hundred meters before encountering a group of patrolling soldiers, but they found Li Changzheng and his party, and just as they were about to shout, they were shot into hedgehogs by the crossbow arrows of Li Changzheng and the Xiao cavalry battalion, until the army was less than two hundred steps away from Asan's dilapidated tent before it was discovered by Ao Fang, who had just left Asan's tent.
"There is an enemy attacking the camp—" Ao Fang shouted, seeing dozens of feather arrows shooting at him, he immediately rolled to the left, and more than a dozen feather arrows shot into the dirt, he dodged the feather arrows, and then shouted loudly, "There is an enemy attacking the camp, protect Her Royal Highness the princess!" ”
"There is an enemy attacking the camp, quickly protect Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"There is an enemy attacking the camp, quickly protect Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
……
With Ao Fang's exclamation, the iron guards in the camp were reminded, and everyone immediately galloped to the big tent, shouting while rushing towards Ah San's big tent.
But they were late.
Because their war horses have been let go by Zuo Zongquan.
At this time, Zuo Zongquan was leading two hundred cavalry battalions to fight in the camp.
When Ahsan's guards rushed to the dilapidated tent on foot, Li Changzheng's 300 cavalry battalion had completely eliminated the two teams of cavalry guarding the tent and surrounded the tent tightly.
The guards were stunned, they did not expect the enemy to attack the camp, let alone the enemy to surround their commander's tent so quickly.
"Your Highness Princess—" Someone suddenly shouted.
Because at this moment, they saw that Li Changzheng had walked out of the big tent, he was holding a war knife in one hand, and the other hand was carrying Princess Ahsan, who was already injured and had no resistance, like a chicken.
"Kill—"
"Hurry up and get back to Her Royal Highness Princess—" shouted the guards who rushed to the tent, raising their swords to kill the cavalry soldiers around the tent.
But at this moment, a neutral voice shouted, "If you want her to die, you can try it." ”
The guards who were about to rush forward to rescue Princess Ahsan froze suddenly, they looked at Princess Ahsan, who was carried by Li Changzheng like a chicken, and could only follow the sound to look at the people, and found that a pair of cavalry appeared behind them, the number was only thirty, and the leader of the general was dressed in a black python robe, which was the great enemy they pursued and killed this time, Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao.
"All the horses in the camp have been captured by the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and the big camp has also been controlled by the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, if you don't want to have too many senseless casualties and sacrifices, please ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to order them to surrender!" Riding forward, when facing the pale, angry and weak Princess Ahsan, Ji Qingchen said with a calm face.
"The princess can't vote—" The guard was about to speak, when he heard a scream of "ah-" and he was shot out of his throat by a feathered arrow.
"As long as Her Royal Highness the Princess orders them to surrender, this king can spare their lives." Ji Qingchen continued, "This king guarantees the reputation of the Liao King in the north. ”
"Your Highness Princess—" Someone was about to speak, and there was another "whoosh" sound, and a feathered arrow shot through his throat. Ahsan, who was being carried like a chicken, was already angry when she saw this scene, but she understood the truth that the winner is the king and the loser Kou, so she used the last bit of strength to order the iron guard to put down his weapon, and then fainted.
"Li Changzheng, hand over Princess Ahsan to Zuo Zongquan, and I'll hand it over to you here." Ji Qingchen said in a cold tone.
"No!" Li Changzheng replied expressionlessly, a cruel bloodthirsty look flashed in his eyes.
