Qiu Yizhi was already terrified when he saw this scene now, and he couldn't help but regret in his heart: he had calculated a lot, after all, he had been sloppy, and if he had thought of sending a sentry to occupy the critical joint of the Yellow River crossing, he would not have fallen into this dilemma.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and I was at a loss for one of the autumn instruments, and when I was waiting to ask my father and master, I saw a large cloud of smoke and dust rising in the direction of Anhe Town, and there was a faint sound in my ears of the horse's hooves stepping on the ground.

At present, there is the Yellow River moat in front and the imperial court chasing soldiers in the back, and it is really a place where the mountains and rivers are exhausted!

When Qiu Yizhi thought of this, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, but he still commanded more than 100 people under his command to set up a formation near the river, so as to be a trapped beast.

This group of officers and soldiers came very quickly, and in less than a moment they had reached the bank of the Yellow River.

Qiu Yizhi sat on the horse and watched carefully, and saw that there were four or five thousand people in this group of people, and if this group of tired soldiers under his command had a hard encounter with them, it would be like hitting a stone with an egg. So he hurriedly looked for the flaws in the opponent's marching formation, just hoping to find a weak point to rush out, escape to Gyeongju again, and then think about it in the long run.

Unexpectedly, the team of the imperial court was very different from the defenders of Anhe Town who had just stopped in front of him-in the blink of an eye, they had already formed a semi-circle formation, surrounding Qiu Yizhi's sentry next to the Yellow River - during the period, the lineup was strict and the flags were clear, and Qiu Yizhi did not find any mistakes.

Only then did Qiu Yizhi know that he had met a real opponent, and he was already desperate in his heart, and he only felt that the bank of the Yellow River was the place where he was buried.

However, the officers and soldiers who had already won the victory did not act for a long time, but they saw a military general calmly walking out of the battle formation, and said loudly: "Can the prince of Youyan be among them?" ”

Qiu Yizhi's ears could hear it clearly, and he raised his eyes to see this general, dressed in golden helmets and golden armor, wearing a scarlet robe, sitting on a maroon high-headed horse, holding a silver spear upside down in his right hand, and pressing his left hand on the sword at his waist; He looked to be in his forties, but he had a generous face, plump cheeks, three long beards fluttering in the wind, and a pair of bright eyes - he looked like a dignified and upright soldier.

Zheng Rong, the Youyan King who was sitting in the car, heard his voice, hurriedly got out of the car, barely supported his body, stood on the wheel and said, "This king is here!" It turned out that Dai Luanxiang and Marshal Dai were here, you and I are afraid that we haven't seen each other for ten years, right? ”

Only then did Qiu Yizhi know that the person in front of him was the only famous general in the Han court who could be compared with his father-in-law, Dai Luanxiang, the former general of the forbidden army. And because the forbidden army is ordinary in different places, the four third-grade generals who command the four battalions of the forbidden army are often called marshals.

But seeing that Dai Luanxiang heard this, he said unhurriedly on the horse: "I was just a partial general under the prince, and I should have met with a big gift, but it was inconvenient for me to pay a full salute when I was in the armor, and I asked the prince to forgive me." ”

Zheng Rong's body was still very weak, coughed lightly, and continued: "You and I are both in the army, why should we take these false courtesies to heart? However, this time is different from the past, in the past, you and I were comrades-in-arms and brothers-in-arms, but today we have to meet each other in arms, this world is ruthless, it is really unpredictable! ”

Dai Luanxiang listened, but seemed to be relieved, and said: "It's good that the prince knows, the last general has also received the will of the saint today, and he wants to invite the prince to return to the court." He also advised the prince to obey the holy decree and not to make a big fuss here. Although he is only a small general, he dares to ensure that no one dares to practice on the way back to Beijing. Besides, the name of the prince's loyalty and filial piety is known to the whole world, and after the last general returns to Beijing, there will also be a chapter to listen to the heavens and defend the prince. ”

Although it was a confrontation between the two armies, Dai Luanxiang was only twenty or thirty steps away from Zheng Rong, and every word in his mouth clearly reached Zheng Rong's ears.

Although Zheng Rong listened to his words politely, his tone was very firm, and he didn't seem to have any room to return, so he sighed and said: "Marshal Dai has a good intention, and this king understands it." But today's emperor may not be willing to listen to the marshal's words. Although this king is not talented, he is not willing to be a fish. ”

Dai Luanxiang listened and replied: "There is a way that is unpredictable. I remember that when the Turks went south, the last general retreated with the commander, lost his teacher and humiliated the country, and he was about to sit on the throne. At this time, the prince wrote to Beique, did his best, and the first emperor was wise, that is, he forgave us for the sins of others, and let the last general wear the guilt and make meritorious service. This matter is vividly remembered, and the last general will not dare to forget it at all. Dai Luanxiang said as he spoke, seemed to be a little emotional, paused and said, "The prince's merits are far above the last general, and what he has committed today is only a small fault, as long as the prince and the emperor explain carefully, they must have their own benevolence." ”

Zheng Rong waved his hand and said, "That's it." With the merits of this king and the relatives of the emperor's uncle, the emperor still has to deal with it ruthlessly. Although Marshal Dai is the pillar of the imperial court, 'no one is at fault', and when the time comes, he occasionally commits a petty crime, and the wrath of the Holy Thunder comes, and I am afraid that there is no one to defend the marshal. Although this king is now cornered, he still has to advise the marshal here, make plans early, don't make mistakes! ”

Dai Luanxiang originally wanted to persuade Zheng Rong to go back with a few words, so as to avoid a fight; Unexpectedly, Zheng Rong took over the conversation and persuaded himself to leave a way back. Although he has always been known for his all-round talent in civil and military affairs, his eloquence is not as good as that of Zheng Rong, who has read poetry and books since he was a child.

When the atmosphere was delicate, a horse flashed out from behind Dai Luanxiang, and the person on the horse held the order flag in his hand, and scolded Dai Luanxiang with his throat: "Your nagging here is not over." The emperor's decree is to tell you to take Zheng Rong back, and you can just do it, where is so much nonsense? ”

Everyone looked at the man—he was white and chubby, with a black mark the size of a broad bean on his right cheek, but no half of a beard on his chin, and his eyebrows fluttered when he spoke, and he was obviously a eunuch in the palace—and he couldn't help but cast a disdainful look.

Dai Luanxiang was very respectful to this person, listened to his words, sighed and said loudly to Zheng Rong: "The prince also saw that the last general is now carrying the holy decree, and he does not dare to show favoritism anymore, since the prince refuses to return to Beijing with me, then the last general has no choice but to offend." With that, he sighed again, raised the silver spear in his hand and pointed back.

When all the officers and soldiers saw Dai Luanxiang's order, they all shouted "Get the order!" He slowly gathered around Zheng Rong, Qiu Yizhi and others.

Qiu Yizhi was surrounded by heavy surrounds, seeing that the more than 4,000 forbidden troops were neatly paced and had clear slogans, and they were slowly pressed up like a sea of mountains, and he secretly admired in his heart that Dai Luanxiang was so rigorous in governing the army, and he really deserved the title of a famous general of the Han Dynasty, and I am afraid that his life will be explained here today.

When Qiu Yizhi was in despair, he suddenly remembered Yu Chi Lianghong beside him, and hurriedly asked: "Brother martial arts are world-famous, you don't have to accompany your younger brother here to burn jade, run for your life!" ”

Wei Chi Lianghong smiled bitterly and said: "Although the foolish brother also has some confidence, he is only three zhang away in a leap, and when he falls in the official army, they will cut the foolish brother into pulp with one sword. Alas! Life in the world is just a white horse, this time, with the virtuous brother can have the fate to see the two pillars of the court, King Youyan and Marshal Dai, it is not in vain. ”

Although Qiu Yizhi listened to Chi Lianghong, who was helpless, his tone was very calm and calm, and he had the heroic spirit of seeing death as home, so he was also a little relieved. But Qiu Yizhi saw the forbidden army pressing forward, and seemed to be able to feel the hot breath exhaled from the other party's mouth, and the despair before dying came to his heart again, making him can't help but clench the sword, just trying to fight to the death with the opponent in front of him.

Just when everyone was almost desperate, a sharp arrow suddenly shot from the Yellow River, cut through the sky, shot straight into the official army, and fell on the bronze helmet of a forbidden infantry standing on the top card, and bounced out with a bang.

However, Qiu Yizhi was only less than ten paces away from the unfortunate forbidden army, and the sharp arrow that popped out landed right in front of his horse, and he hurriedly looked down - he saw that this short arrow was four inches and eight minutes long, with white wax as the rod, red paint as the clothing, and goose feathers as the feathers, only the arrow did not know where to fly—it was the arrow shot by the hard crossbow used by the Youyan Dao army.

"It turns out that the reinforcements of Youyan Dao are here!" This thought flashed through Qiu Yizhi's mind for a moment, and he hurriedly ordered everyone: "Get off your horse and crawl on the ground!" As he spoke, he rolled off the saddle in great embarrassment and lay motionless on the ground.

When everyone heard that he was at this critical moment of life and death, they would give this inexplicable military order, but when they saw him immediately lying on the ground, they no longer hesitated, dismounted one after another, and lay on the ground motionless. Even Zheng Rong and Zhong Likuang, who were sitting in the carriage, were lying on their backs on the dirt with the support of others.

The forbidden army on the opposite side originally had scruples about the Youyan elite soldiers in their hearts, thinking that although there were many people on their side, they should not take it lightly, but when they saw that the other party suddenly all fell to the ground, they couldn't help but be stunned and slowed down.

Dai Luanxiang, who was in command of the Chinese army, was also stunned when he saw this scene, but after all, he had been in battle for a long time, reacted quickly, and ordered loudly: "The enemy army has given up resistance, and the army has not stepped forward, even longer?" ”

When the forbidden army in the front row heard the order, they restarted their actions, and after taking a few steps, they wanted to capture Qiu Yizhi who was lying in the front.

At this critical moment, the locusts on the Yellow River shot countless arrows, but the arrows did not shoot horizontally, and they swept behind the Youyan soldiers who had fallen to the ground, and rushed straight to the official army array, and in an instant, more than 100 soldiers were shot down. Before the forbidden army could react, a second burst of arrows flew in an overwhelming manner, effortlessly shooting into the bodies of more than a hundred soldiers.

Dai Luanxiang saw it, and hurriedly looked far ahead, and saw countless warships lined up on the Yellow River at some point, and vaguely saw that there were countless soldiers standing on each warship, holding crossbows and arrows, aiming and shooting at this side, and the Youyandao flag was clearly hung on the mast of the warship.

The Youyan crossbow machine is powerful and powerful, Dai Luanxiang has heard of it for a long time, but when he saw that these warships were a hundred steps away from the bank of the Yellow River, he actually chose to shoot flat, and they could still have such power, but it was beyond his expectations, so he hurriedly ordered the herald next to him to ring the copper bell in his hand.

Advancing with drums and retreating with gold has been a military system since ancient times.

When the forbidden army under Dai Luanxiang heard the order, he hurriedly raised the shield in his hand, slowly and methodically retreated, and after retreating for more than a hundred steps, he finally stood on his heels, rearranged the formation, and waited for the battle.
