Chapter 275

Zhengde rode his horse and galloped, Jiang Bin rushed to the rescue with two hundred cavalry, and when Jiang Bin led people to surround Zhengde, Zhengde was almost fainting.

"Your Majesty, the minister's rescue is too late, and the emperor is frightened." Jiang Bin wanted to lead people to dismount and bow down.

Zhengde waved his hand and swallowed and said, "Don't say more, go and save the princess and Song Nan and Liu Jin." ”

Jiang Bin looked at the thousands of Tartar cavalry billowing in front of him, and hesitated slightly, but he instantly dispelled his concerns, his men and horses could no longer avoid a head-on encounter with the Tartar cavalry, and the two sides were less than seven or eight miles together, even if it was too late to order the withdrawal of troops at this moment, it was better to fight to the death; At that moment, he loudly ordered a team of cavalry to escort Zhengde to the south, and rode a horse with all the cavalry to meet Song Nan and others.

A moment later, a horse galloped in, and Liu Jin and Qian Ning on the horse continued to run south without looking back, and Jiang Bin didn't even have a chance to ask questions; Looking further, two miles away, a horse was chased by dozens of Tartars and was rushing towards this side, Jiang Bin squinted his eyes and recognized that the person on the horse was Song Nan, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Song, brother is here to save you." ”

Song Nan was intercepted by the four horsemen in front of him and had to avoid it in a circle, but in this way, he was caught up by the Tartars behind, so he had to run to the edge of the valley diagonally, hoping to open the distance and not be entangled by the Tartars.

When the Tartar pursuers saw the hundreds of cavalry of the Ming army coming to reinforce them, they also knew that there was no hope of capturing them alive, so they ordered to shoot them with arrows; When he landed, the flying feathers shot indiscriminately, and they were screaming and flying in the bodies of Song Nan and the others. A moment later, the horse was hit by an arrow in the buttocks, and the horse fell to the ground with a long neigh, and Song Nan and Dai Suer Zhu Xiufu were thrown off the horse, but fortunately, the grass was soft, and the fall was severe but did not hurt the bones.

Song Nan quickly pulled up the two women who fell to run to the side of the valley, Song Nan wanted to get into the slopes and ravines on the side of the valley or between the long grass, so that he could avoid the pursuit of the Tartar cavalry, after all, the reinforcements in front came to respond, and the Tartars did not dare to waste time dismounting and climbing the slope of the Mans orderly foot pursuit.

However, the three of them ran very slowly, Zhu Xiufu and Dai Suer fell almost step by step, let alone running, even walking became a problem; In an instant, several Tartars had already arrived on horseback, but they were still dozens of feet away from the slopes of the valley.

Song Nan sighed and pulled the two women to stand still, facing the Tartar soldiers.

"Princess, Song Nan is incompetent, I can't save you." Song Nan sighed.

Zhu Xiufu leaned closely to Song Nan's side, but she was not afraid when it came to the end: "Song Nan, I don't blame you, you have done your best." ”

Song Nan turned to Dai Su'er and said, "Miss Dai, the emperor just promised to get rid of your slavery, but I didn't expect that we would die here, which is really unfair to you." ”

Dai Su'er shook her head slowly and said: "Song Gongzi Mo said this, the slave family is very grateful to you, the slave family was already dead when the slave family passed away when the parents died, God let the slave family meet you, and finally the slave family was not thin, and before I died, it was also a peaceful and happy life." ”

Song Nan sighed, took the hands of the two and silently pinched the probe hand and pulled out the fire gun from his waist, more than ten horsemen slowly surrounded him, seeing Song Nan pick up the fire gun, he stopped and aimed the bow and arrow in his hand at Song Nan and the others, and a Tartar shouted: "Drop that thing, otherwise you will be taught ten thousand arrows to pierce your heart." ”

Song Nan ignored it, stretched out his hand to lift the two girls to cut their hair and said, "I can't let you fall into the hands of the Tartars, there is still one last bullet in this firecracker, princess, Su'er, I have to do it." ”

Zhu Xiufu and Dai Su'er burst into tears and stood side by side, Dai Su'er said: "Let's do it, just don't face us, I don't want to die too ugly." ”

Song Nan smiled bitterly: "Okay, turn around." ”

The two women turned around slowly, facing the cliff, supporting each other; I heard the trigger click behind me, followed by the clatter of the arquebus, and the two women clasped their palms and closed their eyes in waiting for the roar.

"Boom!" The explosion was deafening, and the screams of horror also sounded at the same time, and the two women were thrown to the ground by a strong force behind them, but the strange thing was that there was no stinging pain of the iron egg entering the body, and at the same time, Song Nan's low cheer sounded in his ears.

"Lay your head and don't move."

The two women lay on the ground tightly, feeling Song Nan's body pressing on their backs, and there was a loud murmur in their ears, followed by the sound of horses' hooves shaking and trembling, and then bursts of shouts filled their ears, and after a clanging sound, someone shouted in a rough voice: "Brother Song, princess, where are you?" You're all right. ”

Kang Ning hurriedly turned over and shouted, "This palace is fine, who are you?" ”

A tall figure rode in the mist, a dark face full of anxiety and surprise.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, Chen Jiangbin is late to save him, please forgive the princess."

Zhu Xiufu asked anxiously, "What about Song Nan?" What about Song Nan? ”

Dai Su'er beside her cried: "Song Gongzi, wake up." ”

Only then did Zhu Xiufu find that Song Nan was lying beside him, with two feather arrows stuck in his back, and blood was gushing out.

Zhu Xiufu was shocked, holding Song Nan's face and shaking and crying: "Song Nan, Song Nan, wake up, don't die, don't die." ”

"Ahem......" Song Nan coughed with blood foaming in his mouth.

Everyone was overjoyed, Zhu Xiufu rubbed Song Nan's face, tears fell on Song Nan's face, and said happily: "You are not dead, you are not dead." ”

Song Nan said weakly: "Don't rub it, if you rub it again, you will really die." ”

The two girls laughed with tears, Jiang Bin stretched out his hand and hugged Song Nan horizontally and shouted: "Brother, brother is late, I can't stand you, you have suffered." ”

Song Nan smiled reluctantly: "Ahem, my heart hurts very much." ”

Jiang Bin hurriedly took off Song Nan's armor to check the wound, but saw that Song Nan's armor was still wearing a fluffy bear skin vest, and the two feather arrows penetrated the bear skin, but they only entered half an inch, which was a flesh injury at all, so he was stunned: "What are you wearing?" ”

Song Nan coughed and said, "Fortunately, Su'er insisted on putting this bearskin vest on me, otherwise my little life would be gone." ”

Dai Su'er cried with joy, glad that she insisted on letting Song Nan wear a bearskin vest when she left the peak.

The two arrows only entered the wound of the back half an inch, just now Song Nan wanted to finish off the princess and Dai Su'er, but suddenly saw that Jiang Bin's cavalry had reached a distance of hundreds of steps, so he was determined to protect the two girls to escape. The moment the fire bolt was launched, Song Nan suddenly turned around and hit four or five Tartars nearby, and then fell down on the two women to protect them, the Tartars shot arrows randomly, and two arrows were shot in the back, if it weren't for the double obstruction of armor and bearskin vest, this close-range strong bow shot would be enough to penetrate Song Nan's body.

Everyone quickly retreated to the south, and Song Nan saw Wan Zhi with blurred flesh and blood on the way, and hurriedly ordered someone to rescue him, Wan Zhi had several arrow wounds on his body, and his bones were broken in several places, but his snort actually had the breath of a gossamer, which made Song Nan overjoyed.

When everyone returned to the formation of the Ulzhou army, the cavalry of the Tartar brigade was already four miles away, the iron hooves of more than 5,000 cavalry in the front team were trampling, and the turf in the valley was rolling, roaring and shaking the sky, and the momentum was really terrifying.

Jiang Bin quickly ordered someone to send the princess Dai Su'er Wanzhi and others to the rear, and he repeatedly ordered to line up and wait; Song Nan drank a large amount of water, and was reluctant to retreat, anyway, if the army was defeated, it would still be impossible to escape, so it was better to kill the enemy in person, and kill one to count one.

Jiang Bin couldn't resist him, and he didn't persuade him anymore, it was a vicious battle with no chance of winning, and all he could do was to resist desperately and buy time for the emperor who retreated south; The enemy's 20,000 cavalry, with less than 6,000 infantry and cavalry on his side, can only be encountered in this valley.

The sound of hooves rumbled, and the tidal Tatar cavalry shrouded the gap in the valley like a huge dark cloud, and in the face of such a terrifying posture, the soldiers of the Ulzhou Wei also turned pale; Although they have experienced many battles, most of them are defensive battles and small unit operations, and they have never seen such a large corps of operations.

Even Jiang Bin has never personally commanded such a big battle, except for often being trained in the Datong General Military Mansion, listening to Wang Xun and the generals of the Datong guards talk about the tactics of dealing with a large number of Tartar soldiers, the real combat experience is zero, but fortunately, when Jiang Bin came to the rescue, he already knew that it was the main force of the Great Tartar cavalry to deal with, and the materials and methods to deal with the battle had already been thought of.

"Archers get ready!"

"Prepare the firecracker!"

"Giant Gunners!"

"Sword and shield soldiers! Hook and sickle! Listen to me. ”

A series of orders were given, and the soldiers quickly formed a formation, and the archers and more than a hundred bird-gunned spearmen who rushed forward bent their bows and arrows and took aim with their bullets.

"Brothers, my Ulzhou army has resisted captivity for many years and has not tasted a single defeat, but what they eat is small meat and drink clear soup; There is a big piece of fat in front of us today, and we need to eat a full meal. Today, the emperor is supervising the battle behind the battle, and Song Nan and Song Zhenfu, who went out of our Ulzhou army, were seriously injured but met the enemy with us, don't you turtle grandsons embarrass Lao Tzu, do you hear? ”

The soldiers shouted, "Understood. ”

Jiang Bin looked at Song Nan and said, "Brother, you can say a few words." ”

Song Nan nodded, got up and stood on the saddle to scan the dense Ulzhou guard soldiers, and said loudly: "Brothers, I, Song Nan, am from Ulzhou Wei, and I know the virtues of our brothers in Ulzhou. For the Ming Dynasty, it is the duty of my Ming soldiers to drive out the Tartars, not much to say, the emperor is watching after the battle, whether we are a bad breed or a hero, whether it is a cowardice or a hero is up to you to choose; Hundreds of households and thousands of generals and princes did not fall from the sky, they had to fight for their lives, I only asked everyone, do you want to be crowned an official and a knight, and you will be honored? Do you want to be admired by all the people in the world? ”

The soldiers shouted thunderously: "Yes! ”

Song Nan roared angrily: "If you want to, kill the Tartars for Lao Tzu, kill them without leaving a piece of armor, kill them crying for their father and call their mother, and they regret coming to this world when they kill." Live Let's live together! Die, we will die with you! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Thousands of soldiers raised their arms and shouted, their noses were snorting and panting, Song Nan's words made their blood rush, and the timidity in their hearts was still there, but they were melted away by the hot blood flowing all over their bodies.

Song Nan looked at the soldiers with a smile, there were tears in his eyes, he knew very well that no matter how strong the spiritual power was, there was no chance of winning in the face of the absolute disparity in strength, but so what, dying vigorously may be fate, but it is also a supreme glory.
