Chapter 376: Life and Death
Yan Hong knew that although this line had courtyard walls, it was not a fortress city, not to mention that the troops he had at hand were really small. If it is really an open battle, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the danger of the total annihilation of the whole army in a moment or three. In this case, of course, we have to go ahead with thirty-six strategies. Escape out of the city first, join the soldiers and horses outside the city, strengthen your own strength, and also get reinforcements from other states and counties. When you want to continue to run for your life, it is always more convenient to be outside the city than inside the city.
Unfortunately, there are only a limited number of places for this temporary trip, and most of the horses are stored in the camp outside the city, and there are less than thirty horses in the camp. Otherwise, everyone will get on the horse, and the hope of escape can be greatly increased.
So a group of 200 brocade clothes, more than 30 attachΓ©s, dozens of miscellaneous servants, and more than 10 brocade guards and family members squeezed out of the back door one by one and came outside. At this time, the Jinyi guards who stayed at the front gate came and reported that there was a faint fire in the direction of the standard camp, and people could be seen, presumably the rebels had arrived. At this time, everyone's expressions were solemn, and a few women couldn't help crying quietly.
Wang Ting took a horse and handed the reins to Yan Hong: "Sir, please get on the horse!" β
Yan Hong shook his head and said, "I'll get on the horse and leave, so what about you?" β
"Since I joined the guard, my brothers have never been afraid of death! If the chief is alive, our talents will be honored, but if the chief is finished, who will take care of our family? Wang Ting didn't lie, and directly made his heart clear. If Yan Hong lives and Wang Ting dies in this battle, then Wang Ting's family can still be taken care of. If Yan Hong dies and Wang Ting lives, then Wang Ting will not be able to escape military law when he goes back, but the whole family will be in trouble. This is not the aura of the protagonist, the tiger's body is shocking, but the interests are enough.
Yan Hong said: "You can't say that. If I leave my brothers like this, I will leave. In the future, which brocade brother is willing to run errands with me! This horse. Let those women ride. I'll walk with you. Don't worry, even if we die together, your family will also be taken care of by my grandfather Yan Gelao! β
When the brocade guards heard Yan Hong's words, everyone was really grateful, and they shouted in unison: "I am willing to fight to defend the chief!" "The morale suddenly doubled. Several family members of Jinyi Wei were so moved that tears flowed out.
In fact, Yan Hong also has his own thoughts when he says this. Horseback riding is certainly fast. But is it really safe to leave the brigade? Since the White Lotus Sect is determined to cause trouble, except for the strong enemy of the standard camp, the rest of the city may not be safe. Moreover, after the disaster relief, I am afraid that he is already a thorn in the side of the White Lotus Sect, and I am afraid that the White Lotus Sect members in the city will recognize him. If there is an ambush at the city gate, it will be a big problem whether they can kill it with only twenty or so horsemen, and most of them will have to hate the front of the gate. This lesson was learned last time when he went down to the south of the Yangtze River and was ambushed by the Ziqing Shuangxia in Cixi Valley.
Instead of being so risky. It's better to be with the team, and my heart is a little more solid. And let the woman go. On the one hand, it is hoped that the White Lotus Sect is all coming for themselves, and these women may have their own selfishness. Isn't Sun Yuerong also a woman? As long as she doesn't fall into the hands of those madmen of the White Lotus Sect, she will feel a little at ease.
There are more than ten women who have been matched with the Jinyi Tiqi, and they have all lived in the line these days, and they have not been driven out. Those Jinyi official schools were originally afraid that their new Jiao Niang would be arrested by the White Lotus Sect again, and when they heard Qin Cha say this, they felt a burst of joy in their hearts. Yan Hong said again: "Hai Xilang, Father-in-law Zhang, you also ride a horse and go first, after I break here, maybe those dog thieves may not be able to catch up with us." β
Zhang Cheng was frightened at this time, and when he heard this, he was like being amnestied, and quickly turned over and got on the horse. Hai Rui remained motionless, with a very flat expression on his face, as if he was not fleeing for his life at this time, but as in the past, he was patrolling at night to visit the victims:
"This official was sent by the imperial court to inspect the place, picket lawlessness, and should be for the country to eliminate traitors, should he be afraid of those courageless thieves? Yan Xiaoxianggong refused to escape, how could Hai be willing to escape? Even if you die today, you must follow the example of Yan Zhenqing and Li Ruoshui, and scold the thief in person! One hundred years of raising soldiers in the country, the festival of death for the country is today. β
Liu Cai is an old minister of the national court, and when he knew that these words were out of the ordinary, he almost thought that Yang Shenyuan, a talented man who was far away in Yunnan, was out of his body and got on Hai Xilang's body. At this moment, his heart was like a mess, and he suddenly thought that it was his own standard camp to save him, which seemed to be a good thing. But after thinking about it again, even if it is really saved, it will not be allowed to be in the dynasty if it is full of fear.
Besides, he didn't experience this mutiny, once the eight masters of Qiu came out, it was really burning, killing and looting, and the jade was burned. Whether he was rescued or hacked to death is really difficult to say. He couldn't help but curse in his heart: If you bastard don't leave, we will run too. Even if the ropes are tied, it would be better for someone to help us onto the horse.
The women got on their horses one after another, and together with Zhang Cheng, they beat their horses and went straight to the city gate. What I wanted was to open the door and join the Beijing battalion soldiers and horses outside the city. It is expected that the people and horses will be loyal and unhindered, and there will be no danger of rebellion.
Yan Hong urged Sun Yuerong to also get on the horse and leave quickly. Who knew that Sun Yuerong glared at her and said, "If you want to leave, let's go together." If you don't want to leave, I'll stay with you, and if you want to get my master and me away, let you stay by yourself, that's a dream! β
Yan Hong scolded angrily: "I have never seen such a stupid woman as you, if you don't leave, believe it or not, Lao Tzu divorced you." β
Sun Yuerong didn't care and said: "You just divorced me, and I also stayed at your house, if you want the master to throw you away and run for your life, don't dream." β
The officials who were tied up stared at the remaining horses with blank eyes, and said in their hearts: Even if you don't run, let us ride the horses, we don't want to die.
And Chang Yulian was grabbed by the two brocade guards, and she twisted her body desperately, and she couldn't speak because of the red hijab stuffed in her mouth, so she could only make a "woo" sound. A pair of beautiful eyes that are always flowing on weekdays want Yan Hong to pay attention to himself quickly, but Yan Hongna is on the fire, waving his hand and saying: "If she screams like this again, she will directly reward her with a stick and knock her out." β
Seeing that Sun Yuerong was dead or alive, he saw Xi Tong in a blink of an eye, and said in his heart: The other party is still a child after all, and he is not officially married, so why bother him to die here together? Thinking of this, he said to Xi Tong: "Xi Tong, you get on the horse now, get out of the city as soon as possible, first find General He from the Beijing camp to enter the city, and then transfer soldiers and horses from nearby states and counties, so that they can come to rescue me." Our hundreds of lives are all on you, and you may bear it? β
Xi Tong's face was like an expression, and he only said: "Da Shao, before leaving, I promised Sister Bao Chan to keep you safe." If you die, Sister Bao Chan will also go with you, and Xi Tong will only kill himself to atone for his sins at that time. I hope that Da Shao will do his best to ensure his safety, and Xi Tong will also do his best. With that, he flew on his horse.
Suddenly, Yun Chuqi stepped forward and said: "Master Qincha, a certain family will also go with Xi Tong." β
Yan Hong knew that this grandfather claimed to be proficient in the art of war, so he had to follow him to dispatch troops to rescue him. Regardless of whether it is reliable or not, this person's loyalty is at least not said, and he immediately nodded and said, "So please Brother Yun." β
Yun Chuqi said to Ye Zhengfei again: "Virtuous brother, the foolish brother should have sacrificed his life to protect him, but staying here may be of greater use." Yan Qincha's safety is entrusted to you. If you are martyred in a bloody battle, the foolish brother will turn back and kill himself to find you. β
Ye Zhengfei carried the bird gun and said with a radiant expression: "Okay, we will be brothers under the Yellow Spring." β
Yun Chuqi bowed his hand to everyone, shouted "Let's go" to Xi Tong, and galloped away together.
After sending a few people away, Yan Hong led everyone to continue to flee on foot. Sun Yuerong said at this time: "This kid and Mr. Yun are also solid-eyed. By the time they rushed out of the city and brought in the men, it would be too late. Besides, the 200 soldiers outside the city are no match for the governor's standard battalion. The soldiers and horses in the distant states and counties cannot quench their thirst from far away. β
Yan Honghu said with a grimace: "That's better than you, I don't even listen to my own minister's words, see how I clean you up when I turn around." β
Sun Yuerong snorted, turned her head and saw that Chang Yulian's little feet were really hard to walk, so she couldn't help but carry her onto her shoulders, like carrying a sack, and said as she walked: "As long as you can go back alive this time, you can do whatever you want, but you are not allowed to drive me away." β
Yan Hong caught another glimpse of Wei Guoliang, the standard battalion officer who had just come to report the news, and said, "General Wei, you reported the news and saved my life, you don't have to follow us to the danger, hurry up and ride away." β
Wei Guoliang said: "Shen Shen will rebel, and since he does not join him, he is contributing to the court." Now at a critical juncture, how can you leave Lord Hai and Chief Yan to go alone? Swear not to be alone! Yan Hong knew that it was meaningless to say anything more at this time, so he nodded: "Very good, if you get out of trouble today, you will repay it." Then he ordered a few brocade guards, riding the remaining horses, to run in front of and behind the procession, to be used as scouts.
Everyone walked while talking, and as soon as they walked a short distance, they heard Liu Lian shouting: "Sir, fire!" Yan Hong looked in the direction of his finger, the place where Qin was originally traveling was now on fire.
"Such a bold thief, he dared to burn the Qin Cha Xingyuan, it was really against the sky." Wang Ting couldn't help but scold angrily. These brocade clothes are also used to strong beams, when did they fall to the point of being chased by others, and even burning the house? Jinyiwei has never taken other troops seriously, even if it is the governor's standard battalion, Wang Ting also sees it as a local chicken. Now like this, it's a shame to ride on the head and. If it weren't for the heroes who didn't suffer the losses in front of him, he really wanted to kill himself and fight with these rabbit cubs.
Yan Hong is much more open-minded than them, after all, he is used to being at the bottom of the society, as long as his life is saved, what is it to burn a house? However, because of this, he has to be much calmer. Now that there are many people on the other side and few people on their own, it is normal to be hunted down. But what is the need for the other party to burn the Qin Mission? There are no people of their own in the line now, what is the purpose of their doing this?
In an instant, the words "raising fire as a number" came into mind. Who the hell are these fanatics going to signal to? Yan Hong didn't know what to do, and he didn't have time to think. (To be continued......)
