Chapter 11 King Wu Comes to Help
The sun climbs along the mountains, jumping from the low of one cloud to the high point of another. At this time, the ochre-white mount under the man's crotch was running wildly, and the speed of the gallop seemed to be competing with the current sunrise. The fog gradually thinned out in the morning sun, and a few golden rays of light shot straight down the fog layer. Murong Ling rode alone and hurried, and the pioneer explored the camp, and was already three miles ahead of the army led by Luo Teng and Dye Ganjin.
He knows that time will be his fighter and at the same time his hindrance.
In the distance, a figure that was also beating a horse galloping appeared and disappeared in the mist, Murong Ling couldn't help but shake his arm and whip again, his left hand took out a white feather sharp arrow like a swift wind, and his right hand poked out the Baoling longbow at the same time, the sharp arrow tightened the bowstring, and the tip of the arrow moved slightly with the black shadow in front of him.
His half-squinted eyes, his falcon-sharp gaze pierced through the layers of fog barriers, catching the flash of black shadow in the white expanse. Then, the corners of the man's mouth were slightly raised, and a bloodthirsty smile was waved, which was the confidence and excitement of the prey into the basket. As soon as his fingertips loosened, the arrow immediately whistled off the string, galloping through Tan Bi like a meteor, and heading straight for the sentry rider on the horse in front.
More than 100 steps away, sharp arrows entered from the back and came out of the chest, only the white feather blood red stopped on the man's chest, like a death brand, with an inexplicable regret to sleep.
As the man's head fell, only the frightened war horse was left, galloping away, with no trace unknown.
The man galloped to his horse, pulled out the feathers of the arrow, flipped left and right, and pulled out the urgent report from the sentry horse.
The blood-stained red words are only put into loess in the end.
He threw the corpse of the sentry into the depths of the jungle, and the silence of the ancient trees could not give him a rest.
has been delivering news all his life, and the silent news of death at this time should be the greatest sorrow as a sentry horseman.
The man stood still, and he looked at the eyes that had been closed for a long time because of pain, and felt compassion. He couldn't help but step forward, wanting to raise his hand to give him one last rest, but his hand fell in mid-air, and it also closed in mid-air, and he didn't let it go for a long time.
Maybe everyone is born destined, for the sake of peace in the world, there are always people who have to sacrifice, and this kind of sacrifice is not worth it, because it is never up to them to choose.
Just like Murong Ling at this time, no matter whether his move was right or wrong, whether he regretted it or not, life did not give him a second choice. He has the entire clan of Wu Wangfu to protect, and there are so many loyal ministers and righteous people of Dayan who are connected to the life and death of other clans, and he can't afford to take the slightest risk.
He is different from his father, he knows very well that the merit of the Murong clan's court struggle may not be merit, but negligence is an indefensible crime. If the news of Li Shu's intention to attack Yecheng reached the Jingshi, Murong Ping and the Empress Dowager would definitely make a big fuss about this matter, then the loyalty that stood up when the country was in danger would seem so insignificant in the face of the slander that the country was ineffective in resisting the enemy.
He raised his knife and went deep into the soil, three swings and three enters, the sand and soil rose everywhere, the sound of the knife was vigorous, and he was full of grief and indignation, and the land under the dragon winged knife had become a three-foot hole.
He threw the battle report in his hand into the dirt pit, swept it with his sword, and buried it deep in it, and did not see the light of day.
With that, he jumped on his horse and ran to the front.
Even if Yecheng is really lost, he and his father can still return to Longcheng and reshape their ancestral industry with 50,000 soldiers.
Although he wanted to do so, the speed of his horse did not slow down in the slightest. Maybe in the depths of his heart, he still has the same belief as his father Murong Chui, not to be in a desperate situation, not to abolish loyalty.
It was only two miles away from the rear camp, and Murong Ling couldn't help but slow down, he was waiting for the arrival of Xi Luoteng's main force. Although it was far away, he could still see the fierce attack of the Jin army like a wolf, and the hooves of the horses that were striding forward were gradually eroding the white tent of the rear camp.
Li Shu was really the most brave general, and although the Yan army resisted hard, it still couldn't stop Li Shu's iron cavalry. He knew that Murong Zhou had done his best.
In the fog and confusion, he only felt a strong smell of blood coming to his nose, looking at it, the water of the Yellow River along the coast has been stained with blood, and the dazzling red is spreading little by little, like a dam that has broken the embankment, turbulent and unstoppable, and like a woven blood net, through the fog barrier to scatter the sacrifice of death. Today's water source in Yecheng should be filled with such blood, and the fate of the children of the Great Swallow is sent to their hometown, and I don't know how many old fathers and relatives are in tears.
He clenched his fists in pain and tried to rush with his sword, but reason told him that he must stay where he was, waiting for Sirotten's reinforcements, and watched as the Jin army slaughtered his soldiers and captured his camp.
After about a moment of touching a stick of incense, Xi Luoteng rushed over with five thousand iron horsemen, but Murong Ling felt that it had been so long that he didn't know how many soldiers had been trampled into blood and mud by the horses' hooves.
Just when Xi Luoteng's army was about to feel it, he quickly pulled out the blood feather arrow and shot it towards the Jin army in the distance, but the distance was too far, although the arrow was strong, but even the horses of the Jin army were not injured in the slightest. But an arrow feather is as common as an ant on the ground, and no one should suspect it.
"Shizi, what's the situation?" Xi Luoteng hurriedly turned over and dismounted, rushed to Murong Ling's front and asked anxiously.
Seeing Xi Luoteng, Murong Ling no longer had any scruples, he couldn't wait to get on the horse with his knife, "I think there is only the last line of defense left in the northern camp, can Dye Ganjin be ambushed in the mountains?" ”
"Don't worry, Dye Ganjin has laid an ambush according to the orders of the prince." Xi Luoteng also immediately got on the horse, holding the axe, "This Li Shu really wants to take Yecheng?" ”
"That's true, Murong Zhou resisted so stubbornly, he didn't even release rockets to burn my camp's grain and grass, for what?"
"Isn't it just that I'm afraid that the flames will start and alarm Yecheng!"
Xi Luoteng suddenly figured it out, slapped his thigh and said, "It's not fake! If I were to be replaced, I would burn him with a big fire, what would I do with so much effort! ”
"Li Shu, this guy! Let me take his head and sacrifice it to our brother! ”
"You lead a thousand horsemen to copy Li Shu's flank, and don't cut off his back road. If he fights to the death, our army will surely suffer heavy casualties. ”
"When you enter the battle, you only need to shout that King Wu will come to help, and he will be jealous of my father's prestige. I will feign defeat at the right time, and then you will leave 500 cavalry to support the rear battalion, in case Huan Wen sends another surprise army. The rest of the soldiers and horses must retreat to Tushan at the same time as me, in case Li Shu is suspicious. ”
"If Li Shu doesn't pursue us and the others, quickly send a sentinel to send a message to Dye Ganjin and the main camp, and come to the aid immediately."
"Order!"
****
Murong Zhou was already burdened with five wounds, and his steps were sloppy, but he still stood with his spear stubbornly, and his eyes blurred by blood still showed the firmness of the sword that could not be shaken.
"Hold it off for me!" He gritted his teeth fiercely, barely swung his spear and stabbed it, straight into the heart of the Jin army, and when he pulled out the spear, he couldn't help but shake the wounds all over his body, and the blood flowed like an infusion.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
At this time, there were less than 300 soldiers around him, and all of them were wounded, and if reinforcements arrived, he might not be able to last half an hour.
"King Wu is here to help!"
"King Wu is here to help!"
I only heard the shouts from the rear of the Jin army shaking the sky, which shocked the Jin army and couldn't help but mess up the formation, and the Yan army, which was shocked by the remnants of the battle, rekindled its fighting spirit in an instant.
Xi Luoteng's big axe opened the way, even the people and horses, all split several sections, and fiercely killed a bloody road from the flank of the Jin army, and went straight to Li Shu.
The Jin army hurriedly lined up, the spears were connected, and the horse's legs were cut, only to see that Luo Teng's big axe was swung with force, as if sweeping thousands of troops, sweeping all the 100 spears into the sky, smashing down three meters, and injuring 100 Jin troops. Behind him, the Yan army roared with horses, as if entering a no-man's land.
As soon as he heard Murong Chui's name, Li Shu couldn't help but be surprised, and wanted to pull the horse to the rear to explore the situation, but who knew that the red wind and good horse under him were stagnant at this time.
Li Shu was anxious, but no matter how he pulled and whipped, the horse would not retreat, so he had to quickly ask Sun Yuan, the deputy general beside him, "Is it really Murong Chui who is here?" ”
Sun Yuan looked behind, at this time, the rear was in chaos due to Xi Luo Teng's collision, coupled with this fog, it was not even clear how many people there were on the other side, let alone to identify a person's appearance.
"The end will not be able to see clearly." Sun Yuan replied truthfully.
"If you can't see clearly, go back and see! What are you doing here! That Li Shu had a hot temper, and when he heard that Murong Chui, the king of Wu of Yan Kingdom, was coming, he was already a little panicked, and the war horse did not listen to his call at this time, which inevitably made him even more upset and irritable.
Sun Yuan held his breath in his heart, but he still drove his horse to the rear. Thinking that when he was in the Yan Kingdom, no matter how bad he was, he was also a Yanzhou assassin, and today he was reduced to being called by a dead country.
As soon as Murong Zhou heard that Prince Wu was leading troops and horses to help, his hands were suddenly full of strength, and the strength that had been twisted for a long time finally came out.
"King Wu is here! Brothers, resist it! The light in those eyes is called hope, and it is a soldier's following and trust in the coach. He swung his spear in bursts, still with a strong wind, and the wound was still oozing blood due to the strength, but at this time the pleasure of killing the enemy had overshadowed everything.
Li Shu's soldiers and horses encountered more stubborn resistance from the Yan army at this time, and it seemed to be a little difficult to break through the rear camp. He didn't wait for Sun Yuan yet, but he waited for Xi Luoteng's big axe in advance.
I saw that Luo Teng was holding a big axe, beheading several people in a row, and rushed straight to Li Shu's face, shouting in his mouth, "Houzhao traitor, eat grandpa's axe!" ”
The sky-breaking axe slashed from Li Shu's side, the force was comparable to that of a butcher cutting a pig's bone, if it was an ordinary person, he would have died under Xi Luo Teng's axe by now. But that Li Shu is indeed a rare fierce general, he only pulled the horse slightly and took a step back, and the tiger bird big knife in his hand was not even raised, but he stretched forward violently with one hand, like a huge wave pushing the sea, and the blade directly blocked the attack of the big axe.
Xi Luoteng was shocked, he could block his move to sweep thousands of troops, and he was afraid that he would not be able to count ten people in the world. This Li Shu blocked his offensive so easily, it was really unusual.
Xi Luoteng was not convinced, held the handle of the axe with both hands, and pressed it hard against Li Shu's blade.
Thinking that Li Shu is also as strong as a bullfighting man, he slammed his hand on the hilt of the knife, so that the strength ran through the mountains and rivers, and the blade of the knife made a choking sound against the heart of the axe, although no matter who was better in the strength of the two, but this holding on was afraid that it would be difficult to distinguish between dozens of rounds.
It's so energetic! Xi Luoteng thought badly, if he continued to hold on to Li Shu, he might not be his opponent!
Immediately, he used the power of upward pressure to retreat with the big knife, and the two of them and two horses, the long knife against the big axe, galloped away with each other, stirring up dust in the sky, and the momentum was so great that it was difficult to speak. I saw that the officers and men of the armies on both sides retreated one after another, but there were also 100 people who were injured in the collision.
Besides, Sun Yuan was angry and retreated from the chaotic army, only to see that there seemed to be a dazzling black iron essence armor in the white expanse, and the BMW neighed in the sky, and the long knife blade could be faintly seen, as if there was a sharp edge to cut the clouds and break the moon, so that the spear in his hand retreated for no reason. Although he couldn't see the appearance of the person on the horse clearly, he only felt that a heroic aura rushed through the fog, shocking the heavens and the earth.
Jingjia, ochre white horse, Canglong double-winged knife, these three treasures are indeed owned by Murong Chui, the king of Wu, and then talk about the sense of tiger power, very people!
Thinking that Li Shu is extremely tricky, let's step forward and see it more clearly.
Sun Yuan was about to drive the horse to explore clearly, but suddenly felt a strong wind rushing straight in, he subconsciously leaned over the horse, as if he vaguely heard a whoosh, and as if he hadn't heard it, he only felt a slight movement above his head, like the wind raising his armor, no hindrance.
He was thinking like this, so he got up and touched the armor on his head, he was shocked, the armor was fine, but the red tassel shot in a line, such a distance of 100 meters, the one who can be accurate to this, as far as he knows, there are only two people in the world! One is the late Eastern Jin Dynasty general Jia Jian, and the other is Murong Chui, the king of Wu of Dayan.
This kind of skill of piercing Yang in 100 steps, it is not Murong Chui, but who is it?
Just picked up a life and came back, Sun Yuan didn't dare to approach any further, and was about to lead the cavalry around him to Li Shuna to restore his life, at this time he only heard the sound of a double-edged slash in front of him, and he hadn't seen the people fighting clearly, so he only felt that the sound was piercing and his ears were blown.
Seeing that Luo Teng was suppressing himself and pulling farther and farther, Li Shu raised his long knife several times, and resisted the big axe, but he was pressed down by Xi Luo Teng's strength from top to bottom. He had a dangerous move, when he tried it, he suddenly let go of the long knife, almost at the same time pressed the horse to squat, in order to reduce the impact, only to see the knife fall to the ground suddenly, Xi Luoteng was unexpected, the whole strong force from the axe blade into the ground, but the war horse could not stand such a big force at all, the front hooves knelt, half of the body fell, and Xi Luoteng was directly lifted out of the horse.
The hundred-pound man fell to the ground, only to feel that the earth trembled slightly, and the grass and trees shook. Xi Luoteng has not slowed down, only to see dozens of Jin army spears from both sides straight in, he subconsciously raised the axe to block, but suddenly shocked to find that his hand was empty, and then looked, the big axe was still pressing the long knife, lying on the ground, more than a foot away.
Seeing dozens of spear blades stabbing from themselves, Xi Luoteng was helpless now, so he had no choice but to stand up with his bare hands, wanting to fight the sword with empty fists. At this critical moment, only a few "whoosh" sounds were heard, as if a hundred sharp arrows broke through the fog, and the sound was not yet heard clearly, and more than ten Jin soldiers had fallen to the ground. Xi Luoteng seized this opportunity, took the big axe, and with a wave of his backhand, he immediately cut down a Jin soldier and dismounted, he kicked on his horse, and retreated to the south in embarrassment.
Just a moment after Xi Luoteng got on his horse, Murong ordered the soldiers to put down their bows and arrows and retreat in the direction of Tushan.
Although Li Shu withdrew his sword and made Xi Luoteng fall off the horse, he also had a little abrasion, although it was not serious, but his war horse Chifeng injured his leg bone and could not get up again. By the time Li Shu crossed the soldier's horse and regained the tiger sparrow's sword, Xi Luoteng had already run half a mile.
