Chapter 12: Fighting in the Battle
Song Yan was unable to make a decision for a while, raised his eyes to look at her, and said, "General, the last general is not unwilling to believe you, but is just worried about your safety." He hesitated for a moment, and then added in a low voice, "Lord Wang, I'm afraid I'd rather lose this Yiping City than let you risk yourself." ”
Chen Nian smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, I am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and I will go down with all my certainty." Moreover, your prince also left a lot of secret guards with strong martial arts for me, and I will pick out some good players from Juyi Village. It doesn't matter how much I can save, the important thing is that I have to do this gesture. ”
Song Yan wanted to persuade again, but Chen Nian had already raised his hand to stop his words, and said, "I have made up my mind, you don't have to persuade again." There's no time for you and me to argue here at this moment. I'm going to gather people, you hurry up and prepare, and when people are rescued, you must secretly control it to avoid changes. ”
After she finished speaking, she called her own soldiers to come forward, and explained a few words in her ear, and the personal soldiers ran down the city wall. Song Yan looked at her like this, knowing that she couldn't persuade her back, and she couldn't stop her, so she could only fully cooperate.
In such a short time, the mountain bandit team under the city has been completely dispersed by the He family soldiers, divided into several groups, and fought separately. The situation became more and more critical, and the people on the city wall were also frightened, and they were willing to help with bows and arrows, but the other party deliberately trapped people out of range, and ordinary feather arrows could not be shot at all.
Those officers from Juyi Village stepped forward to ask for battle, shouting: "General, open the city gate and rush out to save those brothers."
"General, we can't die without help,"
Chen Nian calmly glanced at everyone, and said coldly: "The enemy army is behind them, obviously trying to lure us out with them as bait." If we do open the gates, we will fall for the enemy's tricks. Although He Ze's army did not show up, they did not know where to hide, and they were eyeing it. Once the city gate is breached, this Yiping can no longer be defended. ”
Everyone listened to the silence, but soon someone shouted excitedly: "Then what should I do, those brothers are here to help us, do you just watch them die under our noses?"
Chen Nian glanced at the person who spoke lightly, and replied calmly: "Naturally, we can't watch them die, we have to save them, but we can't open the city gate." ”
As he spoke, Song Yan had already ordered someone to hold dozens of ropes as thick as children's arms. When everyone was puzzled, Chen Nian Yue walked out, jumped to a high place, pressed his hand with a knife, and shouted to everyone in the city: "The city gate cannot be opened, because the city is full of defenseless people, and if we take a step back, the city will be broken." Those brothers in the city can't help but save them, they are here for us, I ask you, but if anyone dares to go down to the city with me to save people, if they dare to come forward, let's go down this rope and save the brothers below to the city. If they can come for righteousness, let us repay it with our lives,"
There was a sudden silence on the city wall, and after a moment of dead silence, the fool took the lead and replied in a loud voice: "I will go,"
Chen Nian looked at him with a smile and nodded, "Okay." ”
Then many people came up and shouted, "I'll go,"
This situation is very exciting, even Chen Nian looked at it, and couldn't help but feel excited, she laughed and said: "Although we are not afraid of death, we can't sacrifice in vain, I only want those who can come back after going down, and the rest of the people will stay on this city wall and guard the city well,"
After she finished speaking, she ordered dozens of martial arts masters, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go down to save people, not to fight hard." If you can save one, you will earn it, and if you can't save it, you have to come back by yourself, and you must not lose money. Those who will only be reckless are reckless, not heroes,"
The crowd listened in unison.
Chen Nian smiled and ordered her soldiers to come forward to help her remove her armor. She took off the heavy armor on her body, left only a heart shield on her body, took a bucket of white feather arrows and carried it behind her back, jumped on the female wall first, turned around to look at everyone, and shouted: "Song Yan,"
"The end will be," Song Yan responded.
Chen Nian said: "After I go down, you will temporarily take the position of the lord and general, and lead all things in the city,"
"The last general obeys,"
Chen Nian called out several leaders of Juyi Village, and after ordering them one by one, he turned around and looked at the battlefield not far from the city. After seeing it twice, he had a rough idea in his heart, so he gathered his true qi, raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, grabbed the rope in his hand, and jumped down from the city wall. The wall was several feet high, and she swooped down, her clothes ripped by the wind, and at a glance, she looked like a handsome bird, falling from the sky.
It wasn't until he was less than two feet from the ground that Chen Nian used the rope in his hand to slow down the fall, and his body flipped forward in the air lightly and dexterously, falling to the ground, but it didn't stop, and he swept forward.
Behind her, more than a dozen secret guards also followed, protecting her sides, and rushed towards the enemy line together. Not to be outdone, the rest of the people on the city wall also chased down the city with the help of ropes.
Those He Jiajun under the city really wanted to use these mountain bandits as bait to lure the people in the city out to rescue. I didn't want the city gate to be opened, Chen Nian actually jumped down from the city wall with more than 100 people, and rushed to the front in a moment.
In the midst of the rush, Chen Nian took out all the feather arrows in the barrel of the arrow behind his backhand, broke the arrow feathers, and hit the enemy soldier with a hidden weapon. When she heard a burst of exclamations, many enemy soldiers were shot by her and fell off their horses.
Chen Nian shouted to the secret guards who followed her: "Seize the horse first, rush the enemy formation, and then save people,"
How could the people left by Feng Junyang be useless, those secret guards are not only strong in martial arts, but also extremely outstanding in riding and archery skills, and now they got her orders, so they grabbed the war horses respectively, divided into two teams to firmly protect both sides of Chennian, and more than ten people turned into a sharp sword and plunged straight into the enemy formation.
On a high slope not far from here, He Ze stood on his horse, looking coldly at the military formation outside the city, which had advanced and retreated, and was disturbed by Chen Nian and his party of more than a dozen people. He couldn't help frowning slightly, and sighed in a low voice: "It's a good Xie Chennian, I actually underestimated her." It's a shame that she's just a woman, otherwise she would definitely become a peerless general. ”
He had both amazement and envy in his heart, and resentment, and at the same time secretly a little jealousy of Feng Junyang, and was full of complexity, the deputy general who was waiting on the side stepped forward and asked him: "General, if the other party doesn't open the city gate, we will ambush the soldiers and attack,"
The people who came down from the city wall were all good, and they took advantage of the passage opened by Chennian to rush into the He family's army, and they were united with those trapped mountain bandits, and they rushed under the city wall in response to everyone. If the ambush soldiers do not come out, I am afraid that these people will be asked to break out.
He Ze's eyes only followed Chen Nian on the battlefield, and when he heard this, he replied coldly: "Send some elites over, don't pay attention to the others, just go and arrest Xie Chennian, even if you let the rest of the people go, you have to leave her alone." ”
On the battlefield over there, Chen Nian was fighting fiercely with the enemy soldiers. She led the guards to gallop back and forth among the enemy army, not seeking to kill the enemy, but only trying to break the way for the others, leading the group to break through under the city walls. It's just that the enemy soldiers are outnumbered, and they bite to the death, and everyone has just opened a bloody road, and after not going far, they are blocked by the new enemy troops who are coming up.
Chen Nian had just rushed out of the enemy encirclement here, and when he looked back, he saw that the road was broken again, so he had no choice but to turn his horse's head and rush into the enemy again. After a few times like this, even though Chen has deep strength, but after all, it is a woman's body, and his strength is not as strong as that of a man, and soon, the arm that wields the knife feels sore.
There were two secret guards who had been guarding her side tightly, and seeing that she seemed to be exhausted, for fear that she would lose, they hurriedly persuaded her: "General, we have rescued many people, why don't we retreat to the city first and rest for a while." ”
As soon as you reach the city, the bow and arrow in the city can be covered, and the pressure is much reduced. Although Chen Nian is impulsive and ruthless, she is not the only one at the moment, there are so many secret guards and companions, she can't ignore their life and death. After a moment's thought, she led the crowd and rushed down to the city. Seeing that he was about to break through the encirclement, dozens of elite horsemen rushed from nowhere and stopped everyone.
These people are different from ordinary cavalrymen, not only are they extremely skilled, but they are also quite powerful. Chen Nian and the others were already a little tired from fighting, and suddenly encountered a strong enemy, and they were a little caught off guard for a while, and they were entangled and couldn't get out. After such a delay, the He family army behind them surged up like a tide, and surrounded everyone layer by layer.
Chen Nian was shocked in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Stupid in front, rush out, everyone follows, no one is allowed to save you,"
The stupid man answered, picked up a pair of hammers in his hands and rushed forward. Chen Nian followed closely, seeing that the war horse was blocked, he couldn't rush at all, so he simply jumped up from the horse, and rushed towards the knight on the opposite side with a knife. In one move, the man was chopped off the horse by her, but her figure was non-stop, her toes were a little on the head of the man and horse, she turned around in the air, and pounced on the person next to her, and after a few moves, she knocked the opponent off the horse.
With her and Silly Da opening the way, everyone struggled to break through for a while, but they still failed to break out of each other's encirclement. Chen Nian was red-eyed, but he knew that he must not be soft at this moment, and only by moving forward desperately could he open a way for himself and others to kill.
At this moment, a clear whistle suddenly came from the city wall, and the whistle rose to the sky, reaching the sky, lasting for a long time, and everyone was stunned.
Everyone was shocked by the voice, and they all looked at the voice, and saw a woman in a wide robe and big sleeves falling from the city wall, and they could not see what footwork she used, but they only felt that her figure was erratic, as if she had arrived in front of her in a few jumps.
Chen Nian was overjoyed when he saw it, and tried his best to rise from the ground, and shouted, "Master, here,"
The person who came was none other than Chen Nian's master, Jing Yuxuan. Hearing that Chen Nian called her, she only raised her eyes and glanced sideways, her expression was quite displeased, and she scolded coldly: "Useless girl, look at your little potential, you still want the old lady to save you,"
