Chapter 5: Tanka (3)
"Lord Hacha is dead!"
"He killed Lord Hacha!"
"He killed Lord Hacha!"
On the bank of the river, Wei Haohan cried and shouted, and rushed forward to fight with Zheng Ziming. The formation, which was not neat in the first place, completely fell apart.
"Grab the boat! Get off the horse and grab the boat!" Zheng Ziming whipped and smashed an iron rod away, and with a backhand whip, he smashed the owner of the iron rod into the mud puddle by the river. Then he turned his mount sideways and dashed left and right.
"Grab the boat, get off the horse and grab the boat!" Tao Dachun followed Zheng Ziming into the middle of a large group of Muwei people, and the scimitar in his hand flew up and down. The warriors of Murwei, who tried to outflank Zheng Ziming from the side, slashed all over the place.
"Grab the ship, grab the ship!" Zhou Xin turned his horse and faced Tao Dachun's horsetail. Rushing along the riverbank to the other side, the spear in his hand struck left and right, smashing the Murowei warriors who were blocking his horse into the murky river one by one.
"Grab the boat, get off the horse and grab the boat!" Li Shun, Li Biao, and Tao Yong kicked the stirrup violently, flew up like three harriers, and smashed into the top of the head of the Murowei warrior. The warriors hurriedly dodged, and the three of them landed, their backs against their backs, and swung their knives in four swings, unloading a bunch of fluffy arms and thighs.
In the blink of an eye, the defense line of the Murowei people was completely crushed. Wang Guigui stepped on the saddle with one foot, and threw himself into the river with one lunge, and went straight to the big boat tied to the shore. In the cabin, four or five Khitan soldiers immediately rushed out, spears raised, trying to stab him directly into a sieve in mid-air.
"Jump!" The bowstring sounded, and Shi Chonggui rushed to the shore with four Cangzhou warriors and cleared the road for Wang Guigui with crossbow arrows. The three Khitan soldiers fell on their backs, and a foothold appeared on the deck in an instant. Wang Guigui landed on the ship with his legs, quickly squatted by inertia, swept the thousands of troops with the scimitar in his hand, and cut off his two thighs with his knees.
This big boat was driven by Zheng Ziming and others from the sea a few days ago, because the Sancha River leading to Yingzhou was too shallow for the big boat to continue to move forward, so it was changed to a small boat and went upstream. Yelu Chache and Han Kuangsi, through the clues deliberately leaked from the south, successfully found the boat in the reeds at the confluence of the Liao River and the Sancha River, and killed the brothers who Zheng Ziming left to guard the boat. Then, the boat was used as bait and tied to the shore with a cable.
It's just that the two of them did everything, but they missed a very important thing. The Khitan warriors are not water-aware at all, and they have not experienced any water combat training.
These skilled archers on land, once they get on the boat, they immediately have less than thirty percent of their whole body skills. There are no roots under his feet, and his legs are weak. In the blink of an eye, he was killed by Wang Guigui, who had undergone strict training in water warfare, and only had the ability to parry, and there was no power to fight back.
"Get on the boat, get on the boat!" Wang Guigui jumped around on the deck like a monkey, and every time he took off and landed, he used the strength of his lower limbs to deliberately make the deck sway.
"Get on the boat, get on the boat!" Zheng Ziming urged loudly while blocking the counterattack of the Murowei people with a steel whip and horse hooves.
The Khitans were taken by surprise, but the Khitans were not caught off guard forever. Life or death, just a few breaths. No one is entitled to delay.
"Get on the boat, get on the boat!" Zhou Xin and Tao Dachun repeated loudly while riding their horses to kill. There was only one step away from the river, and the war horses could not keep running at high speed. And the surrounding Murowei people, Khitan people, and tribal warriors who speak a stiff language and don't know where they come from, are becoming more and more crazy.
"Get on the boat, get on the boat!" Li Shun, Li Biao, Tao Yong, and another Cangzhou warrior stood in two rows back to back, forming a narrow passage.
The rest of the Cangzhou warriors fought hard to force back the enemy, lifted their unconscious robes from their horses, and quickly ran along the passage. His legs crossed the waist-high river and staggered to the bow of the boat.
On the deck, Wang Guigui had already killed from the bow to the stern, and then turned around and killed. Under the steel knife, there is no one-man enemy. Suddenly, several feathered arrows came into the air, covering him and the Khitan warriors around him who were fighting to the death.
"Precious!" Shi Chonggui shouted at the deck as his eyes cracked.
"Get on the boat!" In the dawn of dawn, Wang Guigui suddenly stood up from the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses, and with seven or eight feathered arrows, he staggered to the bow of the ship, and pulled the cable with all his might.
Blood trickled down the cable, and the big ship moved, and moved, and slowly leaned towards the shore, leaning against his own robe that was staggering in the water.
Another row of feathered arrows flew in, filling him with red eagle feathers. Wang's body shook and shook, struggling, and then continued to stand still. Inch by inch, the cable was pulled back to the hand, inch by inch hanging down to the deck, every inch was stained with hot blood.
"Shoot! Shoot in the water and see who can dodge!" On the bank of the river, an angry 100-man general commanded at the top of his voice.
The surrounding Khitans raised their bows one after another and struggled to pull the bowstring. Suddenly, an iron horse flew into the air, and Zheng Ziming waved his double whip, splitting the heads of the hundred generals. Immediately, they rushed into the ranks of archers and smashed this group of despicable sneak attackers to the ground.
"Ziming get on the boat, get on the boat, leave it to me here!" Tao Dachun followed, like a soul envoy, carrying a scimitar to chase and kill all the way. The Khitan archers, who were still angry just now, became more and more frightened, holding their heads, and fled in all directions.
"Rubbish, all rubbish!", more than forty paces away from the river bank, the Khitan East Road Army made Yeludi angry, brandishing a steel knife and ordering loudly, "Archers, archers, aim at the bow and the shore, cover and shoot." Give me, give me the random arrow surnamed Zheng to pierce my body!"
"General, on the shore, there are more of us on the shore!" a general surnamed Xiao immediately reminded loudly.
"A bunch of waste, what's the use of leaving it. Arrows!" Jerodileth glared at him fiercely, brandishing his scimitar and continuing to shout, "Let go of the arrows, let the arrows, and if you don't let the arrows go, will you let him escape in a boat?"
"Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo, woo woo!"
Thousands of horned bows, slanted upwards, feathered arrows glowing with cold light, detached from the bowstrings.
A scimitar was handed to the lower abdomen of Zheng Ziming's warhorse, and he raised his leg sharply and kicked the owner of the scimitar on his back to the sky. Immediately after, the steel whip smashed down hard, hitting the man's hip bone.
"Ahh Zheng Ziming rode his horse back, just rushed two steps, and suddenly felt that the color of the sky above his head was wrong, so he turned over decisively and fell off the horse.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" "Locust-like feathered arrows fell, shooting the iron squash into a hedgehog.
The next moment, Zheng Ziming's body drilled out from under Tie Hua's lower abdomen, pulled up a Khitan general, knocked him out with a steel whip, and raised it above his head, "Get on the boat, stay away from the riverbank!"
"Whoosh, swish, swish......" More feathered arrows flew in, shooting the Khitan general in his hand like a porcupine companion, covered with spikes.
The surrounding Khitans, the Murwei people, the Motashi people, and the warriors of unknown nationalities were shot indiscriminately by feather arrows. On the banks of the river, there was a dead silence in an instant.
Tao Dachun and Zhou Xin jumped off the already crumbling war horses, each carrying a snatched shield, rushed towards Zheng Ziming, clamped him, and quickly rushed to the bow of the ship that was getting closer and closer to the shore.
On the bow of the boat, Wang Guigui's eyes were wide open, his body was leaning back, his hands were still pulling the cable hard, and between his mouth and nose, he had long since lost his breath.
More feathered arrows flew in, clearing the riverbank.
Li Shun slammed himself to the shore, loosened the corpses of the enemy soldiers who were shielding the feathered arrows, and rushed onto the deck, throwing down a rope ladder with both hands.
Li Biao followed his footsteps, threw himself into the water, and struggled to pull the ladder tight, "Get on the boat!"
Shi Chonggui hugged a Cangzhou warrior who didn't know whether he was dead or alive in both hands, threw this person onto the deck first, and then climbed up the rope ladder. As soon as his feet made contact with the deck, he grabbed a hatch that had been removed, covering the heads of everyone under the escalator.
Tao Yong and four other brothers cooperated with each other to send the seriously injured to the deck. Then they boarded the ship one after another, picked up shields, planks, and everything that could cover the feather arrows, and gave their own people behind them a safe sky.
Another wave of feathered arrows came into the air, making the ship's side crackle, but it failed to hurt anyone.
Taking advantage of the gap between the enemy archers and their bows, Zheng Ziming flew and jumped up. followed by a sharp bend and grabbed Zhou Xin, who was about to fall into the water, from mid-air.
Zhou Xin landed on the ship with his legs, turned around and worked hard with Tao Dachun, who had just fallen, and struggled to pull up the rope ladder. pulled Li Biao in the water into the air, like a barracuda, and pounced directly on the deck.
There is no one else, all the living Cangzhou warriors have already boarded the ship. The rest of the brethren were all killed in the battle on the way to the ship, the most recent of which was only three steps from the bow of the ship.
"Driving...... Drive...... ...... driving"
"Boom"
The violent sound of horses' hooves came from the top of the hill, and another cavalry also rushed to the battlefield, looking at the big ship stained red with blood, dumbfounded!
"Let's go!" Zheng Ziming tearfully cut the cable, and the whole big boat shook, with a heavy squeak, floating towards the middle of the river. Everywhere he passed, he left a wide and long trail of blood, which refused to be diluted by the river.
The morning sun rose silently, shining on the surface of the water.
Arrows rained down, covering the blue sky.
The turbidity waves roll, and the waves sweep away the heroes.
