Chapter 5 Interpretation
The Northern Han Dynasty people ran fast on the pebble beach on the riverside, and the Song army ships had docked not long after, and the soldiers jumped off the bow of the ship under the reprimand of the officer, these Song soldiers were originally soldiers in the north, because the center of gravity was unstable when standing on the bow of the ship and releasing the arrows, the arrows were either weak or inaccurate, and the arrows were accurate and ruthless when they stood on the ground with both feet, and Wu Yingying had also practiced the kung fu of dodging in the dark when he was training in the special forces, and he was fine, but he heard several Northern Han soldiers in front of him and behind him snorting softly, obviously they were hit by the arrows of the Song army, but these people are all blood warriors, as long as they are not shot at the vital point, they run non-stopγ After a while, I heard a scream behind me, it was the Song army who slashed the boss of the boat who sent them out to vent his anger.
The people of the Northern Han Dynasty did not carry bows and arrows with them, and in this situation of being beaten and not fighting back, the Northern Han soldiers who crawled out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain hated their teeth, but fortunately they ran not far into the woods on the shore, and the dense branches blocked the more and more accurate arrows behind them, and the people of the Northern Han Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down, and gradually gathered around Wei Wei.
Seeing the Northern Han people rushing into the forest, the Song army in the vanguard did not dare to chase hard, only outside the forest to look at the figure and release arrows, after a while, the officer of the Song army has arrived with his own soldiers, all the way down, knowing that Wei Wei and others have no bows and arrows, as soon as the Song army is done, they will light the Songming torch with a big smile, and the officer shouted again: "Commander Wei, the young general is the Kyushu capital inspection envoy Zhang Wangji under the command of Cheng Fangwu, Fang has beheaded the thief Zhang Alang, the commander is a guest from afar, and please go to Chengdu Mansion to talk about it." β
Wei Wei "bah", looking around at the people who were almost all wounded, Song Wende didn't know where to go, as if the Northern Song Dynasty army had shot the vital point, thinking that Song Wende had followed him for more than ten years, Wei Wei couldn't help but mourn in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "This Cheng Fangwu is right, this time someone is sparse in Shuzhong, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape, a certain has been determined to fight to the death, you are all good men, go and stay for yourself." β
Wu Yingying only felt that Wei Wei's eyes were fixed on him in the dark, thinking of Wei Wei's kindness to him during this period of time, the soldier's blood surged, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Swear to die with the general." The other five had no objection, and said, "I am willing to die for the general!"
"Good boy!" Although he already knew the result in his heart, Wei Wei was still moved by everyone's unanimous determination to die, especially Wu Yingying, who was blue-eyed, although he had not known each other for a long time, he was also willing to follow him to the death, Wei Wei stretched out his hand and patted Wu Yingying's shoulder and said: "Wu Yingying, I wanted to give you a rich and noble life, but I had no choice but to let you accompany the veteran to be buried here." β
Wu Yingying was still a little strange at this time, he was a modern person, how could he say that he was willing to die for the Lord and the general, and he didn't even fight, seeing Wei Wei patting his shoulder, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The general raises love, Wu Yingying is afraid." β
Wei Wei waved his hand so that he didn't have to be polite, looked up and stared in the direction of the Song army's torches, his eyes were so sharp as if he were penetrating the darkness, and said, "Since we want to fight to the death, the top priority at the moment is to capture a few pairs of bows and arrows at hand. Now that we don't make a sound, the Song army must think that a certain class has fled in panic, and will soon enter the forest to track down a certain class. Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, he ordered: "Bai Yanzan took Yan Shilang to a distance, made some noise to attract the Song army to chase, and Wang Gui, Wu Yingying, Xin Gu, and Pan Jiu were ambushed in the forest, and if the Song army archers chased after them, they would take the opportunity to attack and kill and seize the bow." And they all did what they had planned.
After Song Jun shouted, he saw that there was no reaction in the forest, so he searched in the forest, and the Song army was not anxious to wait for Cheng Fangwu, this place was already the hinterland of Shuzhong, and he expected that the Northern Han people were not familiar with the place, as long as the Song army set up a trap everywhere, Wei Wei and others would only be captured.
Temporarily received a secret report that Wei Wei and others escaped along the Min River in a small boat, and this time Cheng Fangwu immediately sent a fast horse to inform the Song army posts along the river to closely monitor the riverside. Although he knew that the enemy had only eight people, and although it was not easy to hastily requisition ships, Cheng Fangwu still brought more than 150 elite sergeants to follow and pursue in boats. At this moment, the Song army all lit torches, and searched in groups of five into the forest, while Cheng Fangwu personally led twenty personal soldiers to march in the middle and rear of the search formation.
After the Song army went deep into the forest, the torch immediately illuminated the left near, dragged out the thick back of the waist and the knife to move the grass forward, the scouts who were good at tracking quickly discovered the escape route of the Northern Han people, Cheng Fangwu was about to reintegrate the scattered search formation into three columns with parallel intervals of ten feet to move forward, suddenly heard a few screams from the left flank, at this time in the forest the Song army stopped one after another, and the five people formed a small circle to wait for the enemy.
Wei Wei and others just solved a few soldiers on the far left wing of the Song army, because of the surprise, grabbed seven pairs of bows and crossbows, only Bai Yanzan's left arm was slashed by the Song army's resistance, and the five people were waiting to take advantage of the chaos to kill and injure some Song troops, but saw that the enemy was not panicked, and the defense was also urgent, Wei Wei knew that he had encountered the elite of the long-term battle, and sighed secretly in his heart, and ordered everyone to sneak into the bushes and make a detour.
Although nine soldiers on the left flank were attacked and killed, Cheng Fangwu was not annoyed, and calculated in his heart that those who could attack and kill nine of their own people at once without losing one of them must have more than five soldiers, and only seven of the opponents were on the run, and the main general must have the most guards around him, so that the guards must be among the enemies who attacked and killed the Song army in this part, and the traces of the Northern Han spies found in front were just bait. Cheng Fangwu smiled slightly, even though Wei Wei was proficient in the art of war and brave, he could not make up for the disadvantage of his troops, and the attack and killing of the Song soldiers exposed his position, as long as he slowly pressed the past with the regular soldiers, sooner or later he would be a fish in the net. So Cheng Fang ordered a capital leader to lead twenty soldiers to follow the trail of the Northern Han spies in front of him all the way, and he led the remaining soldiers to surround the left flank. This time he brought out all the veterans who had been in the battle array, and it was just careless to be attacked and killed nine people just now, if the Northern Han army dared to come to attack and harass again, at least one or two corpses would have to be thrown away to get out. "Even if it's three for one, it's a win. Cheng Fangwu thought in his heart, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Wei Wei and the others buried their heads in the bushes and carefully moved forward, not that they didn't want to go fast, but the speed of their escape was a little faster, and they could be subjected to a rain of arrows from the Song army, although the bushes took most of these random arrows to most of them, and the arrow feathers that passed through the bushes still had huge lethality, Wei Wei's personal soldier Pan Jiu for many years was pierced through the knee of his left leg by an arrow, this person was also a tough guy, seeing that he couldn't escape with everyone, he stayed alone and broke the back, shot three Song soldiers and was hacked to death by the Song soldiers who followed him.
The Song army did not have such scruples, although the soldiers were also afraid of a cold arrow from time to time when the Northern Han people turned around, but they still chased quickly under the strict orders of the officers, especially the Song army outflanked on both flanks and chased closer and closer. Wei Wei and others saw that the Song army was gradually catching up with them, and they couldn't help but speed up their pace, and the Song army behind saw that the encirclement had been completed, and they wanted to capture the four people alive, but they no longer released arrows, but they followed behind without leaving.
At this point, the four of them no longer thought about how to get rid of the pursuit of the Song army, and only focused on killing more enemies. Wang Gui turned around and released an arrow, only to hear the sound of "tie", a Song soldier covered his throat and fell down, Wu Yingying praised: "Good archery." "I also shot an arrow. Frightened, the pursuers behind them unanimously hid behind the trunk. The four of them fought and walked, gradually retreating to a hill with few trees.
The hill was not very high, but it was a rare place where there were a few boulders that seemed to fall from the sky, and there were no tall trees to hide except for a few wild grasses and dwarf shrubs, like a natural fortress. Wei Wei led Wu Yingying, Wang Gui and others to retreat from this stone mountain. The Song army that followed was no longer overly pressed, and only surrounded the stone mountain in all directions, and from a distance, it seemed that there were still two officers pointing to the mountain to discuss.
Seeing that the Song army did not attack the mountain immediately, the four of them also sat among the boulders to rest. When he fled, Wei Wei was also hit by an arrow in the shoulder, this arrow shot quite viciously, pierced the place where the ribs and veins of the shoulder socket were connected, if the arrow was rashly raised, I am afraid that the right arm would be wasted.
"I don't know which bastard is ruthless, he will be slaughtered. Wang Gui said hatefully, and took the knife he carried with him to cut off the shaft of the arrow that was pierced in Wei Wei's shoulder, and the blood that leached out stained the placket of his clothes red.
Wei Wei smiled and said: "This little injury is a big deal, the first thing is a ruthless word." In the life of a certain Rong Ma, what he was most afraid of was dying under the tongue of a civilian official, or being humiliated at the hands of a prison official, but now even if he dies on the battlefield, he will get what he wants. General Yang sent you on this trip, with the intention of helping the Tuhun army regain His Majesty's trust, but he never wanted to affect you. β
Wang Gui hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Commander Wei killed a certain person, and when the young general joined the army, he knew that there was this day, but it was Brother Wu, he was not a person in the army, but he suffered this unwarranted disaster with a certain person. β
Wu Yingying, who originally closed his eyes and recuperated, hurriedly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Wang's words can treat the younger brother as an outsider, although he has no official position, Commander Wei has already included the younger brother in the Tuhun army, how can he stay out of the matter." β
Seeing that both of them were generous, Wei Wei smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the sound of a bowstring, Song Jun, who was probing his brain under the stone mountain, covered his eyes and fell to the ground screaming, Xin Gu put away the horn bow expressionlessly, as if the arrow just now was not shot by him.
"Good archery. Wang Gui and Wu Yingying blurted out at the same time.
"Yes," Wei Wei praised, "I've shot rabbits on the grassland before." "He saved Xin Gu, who was about to starve to death, during a patrol outside the fortress, but he didn't expect this person to have good archery and knife skills, and he was silent on weekdays, but he has always been grateful for saving his life. The many alien warriors in the Tuhun army were Yiwei who did not dislike Xin Gu as a Liao, and took him by his side as a personal soldier.
"Yes. Xin Gu replied, he rubbed the bowstring in his hand, squinted his eyes and looked down the mountain, Song Bing didn't expect that there were people in the world who could shoot at such a distance, and they were all so frightened that they fell to the ground, and even the two officers took a few steps back.
After a while, Song Bing's courage grew again, and under the urging of the officer, he raised the rattan card he carried with him and slowly attacked the mountain. Wang Gui took out four arrows from the quiver, and held them with the five fingers of his right hand and was about to shoot them one after another, and a person walked out of the Song army at the bottom of the mountain.
Song Wende did not carry a blade, and slowly walked towards the mountain step by step, at this time, Wei Wei and the other four also saw clearly, everyone had a strange look on their faces, and the look of disappointment on Wei Wei's face disappeared in a flash. After he walked up the stone mountain, Wang Gui and Xin Gu immediately surrounded him in front and back, and pressed the knife on his waist to see how he explained.
Song Wende arched his hand to Wang Gui, and then turned his head to Wei Wei and said, "General, the matter has come to this, it is better to vote for Song." β
Wei Wei stared at his eyes and said, "Along the way, I always feel that there seems to be a spy who has sent a message to Song Jun, Wende, but you?"
