Chapter 113

When the left wing Huang Dao heard this, he said in unison: "Please give the general an order!" ”

The ovary made a painful decision and said: "Okay, the left wing listens to the order, you quickly lead three hundred guards to protect the county lord to escape to the west." Remember to let the princess change into men's clothes! The direction he said was exactly where the Xianshi camp was located.

The left wing bowed down and promised: "The last general takes the order!" ”

The ovary said: "Huang Dao obeys his orders, and orders you to immediately let the princess and her maid Xiaotong swap, and then you lead people to escape south with Xiaotong, the farther away the better!" ”

Huang Dao also saluted and said, "The last general will receive the order!" And they walked out of the tent.

After seeing them leave, Zifang's heart relaxed a lot, took off the sword hanging in the air, and said softly: "Chasing the wind, chasing the wind, finally, we can fight side by side with you again, so let's fight this last victory with the enemy together!" As he spoke, he pulled out his long sword, only to see a flash of cold light, and the cold was pressing, it was indeed a rare sword.

The ovary came out of the tent and came to the front of the battle under the escort of the personal guards.

I saw that in front of them were 1,500 foot soldiers with wooden shields in one hand and swords in the other, and they were killing their camp step by step, not fast, but murderous.

Followed by more than 500 archers, they launched rounds of fierce fire at their own side, which not only suppressed their own firepower, but also covered the infantry who rushed to the front line to a certain extent, and posed a huge threat to the Chu people who were resisting in front.

What's even worse is that there are 2,000 cavalry behind them, and they can take down themselves and others in one fell swoop just by breaking through the camp. Although he did not participate in the battle, he was like a tiger waiting quietly, waiting for the opponent to take advantage of the gap, and then he would deliver a fatal blow.

It is really a sharp weapon for rushing and chasing, but it is impossible to send forward to fight positional warfare. Just looking at the configuration of this troop and the tactical arrangement, you know that the person who led the troops on the other side this time is definitely a battle-hardened person.

There is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and one side has been premeditated, fully prepared, and the allocation of troops is reasonable, waiting for work, while the other side is rushing thousands of miles to respond to the battle in a hurry. Compare the two, and judge the advantages and disadvantages.

The first line of defense was captured in just over two hours. The Chu people suffered five or six hundred casualties, most of them were killed or wounded by the opponent's archers, and a small number died in close combat. The other side, as the main attacker, suffered more than 600 casualties because of full preparation and geographical disadvantage.

Although the proportion of casualties was similar, the Chu people only had nearly 2,000 people, and a decrease of five or six hundred was one of the four. And the other side attacked here alone with 4,000 people, and another more than 1,000 troops, but it was only a tenth less, of course, it can't be compared.

The ovary knew that this time it would be unfortunate, so he ordered the Chu people to abandon the carriages and horses of the first line of defense and retreat to the second line of defense, and now it was to delay the princess's escape as much as possible.

The longer they hold on, the greater the hope of the left wing and others to escape.

At the moment, under the escort of the personal guards, he led people to the front line.

When the Chu people saw that the commander personally went into battle to kill the enemy, the morale of the army was greatly boosted for a while.

Relying on the low wall they built and the condescending geographical advantage, they gave the attacking enemy a fierce counterattack.

Morale, however, was only one aspect of the war, and they were clearly ill-prepared, many of them cutting wood or stoning the enemy, and they were only about a quarter of the opponent's number.

Although they are the defenders, they have no strong cities to defend now, and their equipment and manpower are far inferior to the other side.

By this time, it was already dark, and both sides were fighting with torches held high.

Slowly, the two sides of the battle in front were all dead and wounded, and the Chu people were less than a thousand, and the more they killed, the fewer they killed, while the other side still had more than 1,000 people, and more than 2,000 cavalry were eyeing each other.

Just because the place chosen by General Chu is a place on the backing mountain, a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, otherwise the cavalry alone will be able to end the battle in one fell swoop in less than an hour.

Seeing that the enemy was strong, and there were fewer and fewer companions around him, and there was no hope of breaking out of the siege, the morale of the Chu people was inevitably depressed, and they were gradually shrouded in the shadow of death. The attacker is still very sharp and sharp.

The next battle situation was even more one-sided, and the Chu people were completely unable to resist the opponent's attack.

In less than an hour, on the second line of defense of the Chu people, only the commander Zifang and his personal guards were still at ease in front of the desperate resistance, and after another half an hour, Zifang and others were surrounded by heavy surrounding.

In the rest of the place, there was sporadic resistance at first, and after an hour, it disappeared and returned to peace.

In the entire battlefield, until now, only Chu General Ovary led dozens of personal guards, and was heavily surrounded by the other party, still fighting freely to trap the beast, in order to delay the pace of the other party's pursuit.

The two dragons in the clouds were watching the battlefield from a distance, and it was the first time that he had watched the battle between the two sides in ancient times so closely. This feeling is not comparable to watching TV and movies.

The shock of his inner world at this moment is unprecedented, and it cannot be described by words.

Because in such a war, it is true that human life is as cheap as grass.

Hundreds of thousands of people were killed and wounded, and a human life that was still alive just now turned into a cold corpse in an instant.

He wanted to step forward and stop the war, but he also knew that it was impossible.

Fortunately, on the other side of the battlefield, it was still as calm as water, which also made him a little more relieved.

The vanguard looked at the battle that was already coming to an end, and couldn't help but say, "I don't know what they're going to do next?" As he spoke, he looked at the direction of the Xian's camp, obviously not reassuring his family.

Yun Zhonglong looked at the dead and wounded on both sides all over the mountains, and he was also uneasy, wondering if those people would turn around and deal with them after destroying the Chu people.

If that's the case, I'm afraid that nine out of ten people who come out this time will be more than lucky.

Just after the left wing walked out of the main tent of the Chu camp, he came to a pink tent, only to hear a very pleasant woman say carefully: "Princess, take care!" "It is Xiao Tong, the personal maid of the princess of Chu State.

But I heard another woman answer: "I will, and so will you!" The voice is like a yellow bird, light and brittle, it is really a pearl falling on a jade plate, just like the fairy music in the world, wonderful, compared to the woman who just spoke, it is several times better.

People say that 'speaking is better than singing', if Yun Zhonglong is here, he will inevitably feel that the songs he has heard before are far less beautiful than this person's speech.

The left wing led a team of men and horses, stood outside the tent, and saw that she had changed into a blue men's dress and walked out, and hurriedly said: "Princess, please get on the horse!" ”

As he spoke, someone had already brought a red horse, and then knelt on one knee, with his back to her, and asked her to step on his back and get on the horse.

The woman did not say a word, but took one last look at the tent, and turned over on the horse's back, in a very graceful posture.

The left wing immediately got on his horse and said to his more than 300 people: "Go!" "Rode out of the camp first.

The woman shouted softly, "Drive!" He ran out after that.

On the other side, the zodiac led the 'princess' pretended by Xiaotong to get on the horse and set off.

Although everyone walked on the mountain road, the direction in which they fled was the direction they came, and the direction in which the left wing and others walked was where the Xian's camp was located.

It turned out that the ovary knew that the Chu people would not be able to resist for long, and if they blindly fled in the direction they came, because the other party still had 3,000 men and horses who had not been used, the chance of escaping was very small.

Since we know that there is also a team of men and horses in the other direction, if we flee to that side, first, we can surprise the other party, and second, we may be able to take advantage of the chaos to escape, so as to wait for reinforcements.

As soon as the camp was broken, there was no resistance ahead, and a leader from the cavalry team came out, waved his hand, and said, "Chase!" "The cavalry, which has been gaining momentum for a long time, is like a tiger descending the mountain and trampling towards the Chu camp.

The three thousand cavalry were dispatched together, and they did not know how much stronger than the three thousand infantry, and they saw that the fire was shining all over the mountain, and the earth was as bright as day. Wherever the army passed, the dust was flying and invincible.

At this time, there were only more than ten people left around the ovary, all of them scarred and bloodstained.

The people besieging them gradually dispersed the siege, and a bearded man stepped forward and said: "General Zifang, I have respected you as a general for many years, so I haven't killed them all, do you still have to fight pointlessly at this moment?" ”

The ovary laughed and said, "It is inevitable that there will be such a day when you go into battle to kill the enemy, since it has fallen into your hands, what else is there to say!" Then he took the sword to the ground, and his eyebrows were cold.

Suddenly, he said in a deep voice: "You are from Jin, you are General Wei Fengwei of the Jin Kingdom?" ”

The bearded man couldn't help it, and said with a smile: "General Zifang, it's really good!" ”

Zifang smiled bitterly and said: "The general of the defeated army, how can he be brave? ”

Wei Feng sighed and said: "It's a pity that everyone is their own master, my Jin Kingdom is located in the Central Plains, how can I sit and watch the alliance of the two great powers of Chu and Qi, and I have no choice but to make this decision!" ”

The ovary's expression changed, and he suddenly said, "General Wei, can you agree to the next request?" ”

At this moment, the identity of the opponent is confirmed, and the other party will naturally not keep him, and he originally didn't plan to live, but he just wanted to know who was going to calculate himself, and he would die blindly.

As for whether the princess can escape and whether the Chu State can ally with Qi, this is no longer something he can control, he has done his best, and he can only have a clear conscience.

Wei Feng also knew this very well, and he should have agreed to the dying words of a dying person, but many things were not something he could control, so he said: "The general said that it was okay!" ”

The ovary nodded and said, "It's not a secret, the princess is a niece, if the princess is lucky enough to see the general, please let the general spare her life!" "Since the other party knows that Chu Qi wants an alliance, then he must know that the little princess married Qi Hou as a concubine M) said so, that is, Zuo Yi and the others did not take the princess to escape successfully, and they were captured by the other party.

When Wei Feng heard this, he thought for a long time, and then he responded: "As you invited!" "Although it is about the princess of Chu State, the matter is very high, and now he just asks to keep her alive, which is naturally not too difficult. As for what kind of fate she will have after bringing her back to the Jin Kingdom, he is no longer what he has considered.

The ovary saluted him and said, "Thank you for the fulfillment!" As he spoke, he gripped the 'Chasing the Wind' sword that was inserted in the ground and glittered with cold light, and slammed it across his neck, and the sword swept quickly, hanging to the side, and suddenly blood splashed, and then his body gradually stiffened, and he fell straight backwards after a while. A generation of generals died on the battlefield and died in a foreign land.

The remaining dozen or so guards around him, seeing that the commander was dead, exclaimed bitterly: "General! "They have drawn their swords and killed themselves, they have been following them in this world, and they are also going with each other at this moment.

Wei Feng said to the left and right: "Bury them alive!" "As a general, it is inevitable that there will come a day, although it is an enemy party, but out of respect, you can't let it be in the wilderness. Perhaps, I will have a day when I naturally hope that others can treat me politely. Someone immediately went to do it.

After a while, a horse rushed ahead, and it was not until Wei Feng was in front of him that he dismounted, knelt down on one knee and said: "General, they fled in two groups, each with about three hundred men and horses, one team to the west and one team to the south. The two generals, Liu and Chen, have already separated to chase after them, and they specially ask the villain to come back to report. ”

Wei Feng nodded and said, "Okay, immediately send someone to tell the two generals that they must capture the princess of Chu alive!" ”

The man bowed and said, "Yes!" And he took the command.

Wei Feng saw that his subordinates had properly handled the affairs of the ovary and others, so he ordered: "Let's go, let's go over there and have a look!" ”

The whole battle, from the battle between the two sides to the end, took less than four hours, of course, not counting the chase.

Yun Zhonglong and the two saw them going in the direction of the camp of the first clan, and said secretly: The most worrying thing finally came, and the two quietly went up to a small hill not far from the camp. In fact, there is only a narrow mountain range between the Chu people's camp and the Xian's camp, and at this moment, the two of them are on a small hill in the middle of the mountain range, only three hundred steps away from the Xian's camp.

On the left wing, three hundred princesses dressed as men were about to flee over the mountains in the middle and to the camp of the ancestors; And Huang Dao led people to take Xiaotong, a maid who pretended to be the lord of the county, and kept walking along the mountains, which is the direction they came from.

Wei Feng had already sent two generals to lead 2,000 cavalry, so he pursued them.

The purpose of the zodiac and his party was only to lure the enemy, so after leading the people into the forest, they did not immediately break into pieces, in order to disperse and avoid the enemy's pursuit.

Soon, the Jin people chasing after them, seeing that they had entered the mountains and forests, also abandoned their horses and chased after them lightly, leaving only a few hundred people to guard the horses. In less than two hours, they caught up.

Huang Dao didn't expect the enemy to be so fast, so he caught up with them, and it was General Liu Zhong, the deputy general of the Jin State who turned into the leader of the bandits, who pursued them. At this moment, he led more than a thousand people, closely following Huang Dao and the others in front. Faintly, you can see that there is a woman's figure in the fleeing team, which is expected to be the target of this operation, the princess of Chu State. Seeing that the enemy had only about 300 men, he ordered his men to hurry up in front of them and outflank them.
