Chapter 154: He didn't want to die
In the blue sky and white day, the once prosperous and lively street market was full of messes, and there was not a single ordinary person in Jinyang in sight, only closed shops and houses, as well as Turkic soldiers and horses who galloped and looted unscrupulously.
However, it didn't take long for the Turkic soldiers to notice the anomaly: "Look at the city wall. ”
Everyone looked at the wall of Jinyang Palace, and it was quiet in an instant.
I saw that there was not a single Sui soldier or a banner visible at the head of Jinyang Palace, and the city gate below was completely open to them, and the entire Jinyang Palace City was as silent as a sleeping lion, which made people's scalps tingle.
The bravado Turkic soldiers stopped their drive, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't dare to act rashly.
They originally planned to take advantage of the situation to attack Jinyang Palace, but now in this situation, they suspected that there was an ambush in the city, and they did not dare to rashly attack the inner city.
But they were not willing to leave, so the Turkic soldiers continued to plunder the outer city, while still eyeing the inner city.
Li Yuanjian temporarily stopped the footsteps of the Turkic soldiers, quietly climbed the tower on the other side, and observed for a while, and found that although the Turkic soldiers were numerous, they were driving back and forth in the city, and the personnel were very scattered.
He thought about it, went down to the city tower, and instructed Wang Kangda and Yang Mao: "The two of you lead your subordinates to sneak to the north gate of the outer city to set up an ambush, plunder some horses, and test it."
"Remember, you must wait for the Turkic army to pass and see the stragglers guarding the horses behind before you take action, and grab some of their horses for military use."
Wang Kangda and Yang Mao received the order, and led more than 1,000 people to quietly touch the north gate of the outer city, hide their bodies and ambush them, and wait for the opportunity.
During the waiting time, the Turkic soldiers continued to shuttle through the city, and Wang Kangda and Yang Mao never found a chance.
After waiting for two hours, they noticed that the Turkic procession had begun to be intermittent, and soon they found several stragglers driving the herd of horses.
Wang Kangda thought that the Turkic army had passed, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered: "Attack." ”
The soldiers immediately rushed towards the herd of horses.
But as soon as they killed a few Turkic stragglers, a group of Turkic soldiers rushed over from behind, and Wang Kangda realized that the Turkic army had not yet been exhausted.
"Withdraw."
Wang Kangda immediately gave an order, and everyone fled forward.
Unbeknownst to them, as soon as they moved, a group of Turkic soldiers also came in front of them, blocking their way.
There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, so they can only fight to the death, Wang Kangda shouted: "Brothers, fight with them." ”
The Sui army and the Turkic soldiers fell into a melee, no, it should be said that it was a one-sided massacre, these more than a thousand people were not the opponents of the Turkic soldiers at all, but in a few moments, hundreds of people had died.
The soldiers of the Sui army were red-eyed, fought and retreated, and finally were forced to the Fen River, and all of them fell into the Fen River.
Wang Kangda was injured in the battle just now, and after falling into the river, he couldn't swim after swimming twice, so he had to shout: "Help~"
But the surrounding soldiers thought that the Turkic soldiers were in hot pursuit, and they were afraid that they would be caught and killed if they were slow, so they swam forward desperately with all their hearts, and they didn't hear his cries for help at all.
Someone may have heard it, but they didn't have the heart or strength to save him, so they had to pretend that they didn't hear it.
"Save...."
Wang Kangda's words were forced into his stomach by the river, and his eyes were instantly dyed with despair and fear, he didn't want to die....
But his body began to sink, and the river overflowed his neck, his face, his nostrils, his eyes....
"Wang Kangda, grab the rope."
Suddenly, a familiar and immature voice came.
He opened his eyes suddenly, fluffed twice with the last of his strength, and grabbed a rope in a panic.
Wang Kangda's heart was filled with ecstasy, but the next moment his body sank suddenly, and he looked along the rope, and the hope in his eyes instantly dissipated.
At the end of the rope was Wang Yu, who was pulling back hard, but how could a six-year-old child pull him up as an adult?
He could feel that his body was continuing to sink, and even he could see Wang Yu's body being dragged by the rope towards the river step by step.
Despite this, Wang Yu still did not give up saving him, even if one of her feet had already stepped on the river.
Wang Kangda was blindfolded in an instant, there was someone who was so desperate to save him, he shouldn't have given up.
So, Wang Kangda desperately gathered strength and tried to swim to the other side, but his injuries were too serious, and as soon as he exerted his strength, his eyes turned black and he would faint at any time.
Wang Yu originally wanted to sneak away to see the situation, but he didn't expect to see Wang Kangda and their actions fail, and he saw them forced to fall into the river by the Turkic soldiers.
She was so anxious that she wanted to call for help, but she saw Wang Kangda's body sinking in the river, and if she didn't save him at this time, he would die.
So she searched around, and finally found a rope, and hurriedly threw the rope towards Wang Kangda.
But she forgot that she was only a six-year-old child now, and her strength couldn't pull Wang Kangda at all, but would be dragged down the Fen River by Wang Kangda.
"Don't let go, hold on." Wang Yu saw Wang Kangda's eyes slightly closed, as if he couldn't hold it anymore, and hurriedly shouted.
But this is not the way to go.
Wang Yu looked around and saw that a few people had already swam up, and the others in the water were a little away from Wang Kangda, and they were too busy to take care of themselves.
She hurriedly said to the few people who came ashore, "Everyone, come and help me." ”
Several people slumped on the ground, looked at each other, and said weakly: "Xiao Yu'er.... Not us.... Don't help.... It's really.... I don't have the strength...."
Wang Yu was in a hurry, and cold sweat fell down drop by drop, because the hand that grabbed the rope was too hard, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were highlighted.
"I'll help you."
A strong, wet man limped over.
Wang Kangda heard Wang Yu calling for help in a daze, and heard them say that he had no strength, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart was also shattered.
Xiao Yu'er is still young, and he can't affect her.
Wang Kangda slowly let go of his fingers.
When his last finger was about to leave the rope, he heard Wang Yu's voice again: "Wang Kangda, don't let go." ”
Then a powerful force pulled him forward.
His deep desire to survive prompted him to grasp the rope again and open his heavy eyelids.
He saw the other end of the rope, in addition to Wang Yu, there was another person, who was his partner - Yang Mao.
Wang Yu withdrew from the Fen River and went ashore, the rope between her and Wang Kangda getting shorter and shorter, and she didn't throw it away until she grabbed Wang Kangda's cold index finger.
Yang Mao leaned over and grabbed Wang Kangda's wrist and dragged him up.
"Are you okay?" Wang Yu asked Wang Kangda.
Wang Kangda squeezed out a smile at her that he thought he was good-looking, but it was actually ugly: ".... I can't die...."
"I'll help you."
Wang Yu grabbed Wang Kangda's arm and put it on his shoulder, supporting him to walk forward.
Within two steps, both of them fell to the grass.
"I'll do it anyway."
Yang Mao limped to the front and squatted down: "Put him on my back." ”
Wang Yu hesitated: "But, you have a leg injury, can you carry it?" ”
