Chapter 409: Death
Deng Ai fled south in despair, and the sound of horses' hooves and feathered arrows kept coming from his ears.
The continuous jolting made his wound ache faintly.
Two hours ago, he waved his troops down from Xiao Pass with high morale, but unexpectedly, he was faced with an overwhelming rain of arrows, and there was nowhere to hide or where to stay.
If it weren't for the bright light armor on his body, I'm afraid it would be a corpse now, and Rao was like this, and there were still two crossbow arrows shooting through the breastplate.
After the rain of arrows, there was a frantic rout.
Riding rampant like a frightened bison, Deng Ai was knocked down twice, and if Deng Zhong hadn't fished him out, Deng Ai might have died directly under his own big feet.
A large, blood-red footprint was stamped on the left side of his face like a seal.
It's both embarrassing and a little funny.
The defeat of the army is like a mountain, and the rout on the battlefield is like a landslide and the ground is cracked.
The iron cavalry of the Liangzhou army is prominent, like a thunderstorm, unstoppable, no matter whether Deng Aiduo wants to take revenge, under this general trend, he can only be taken away by his subordinates.
"Hmm-"
Deng Ai let out a long breath of sullen breath in his chest, since he has been defeated, then escape, return to Chang'an, return to Luoyang, there will always be a day when he will make a comeback.
He has this self-confidence.
Even if the Sima family doesn't use him as a general, they will definitely use him as a official.
As long as you live, there is always a chance.
"The eldest husband can bend and stretch, it's just a temporary victory or defeat, and when he returns to Chang'an, there is still a chance."
The subordinates were not interested, and the impact of the overwhelming rain of arrows and the thunderous iron cavalry seemed to still be roaring in their minds.
And they also know that Nan'an is finished, Longyou is finished, and tens of thousands of troops are also finished.
It's hard to say whether Sima Zhao will reuse Deng Ai.
If it was Sima Yi and Sima Shi's era, they probably didn't have such doubts, but Sima Zhao seemed to be closer to the Shi clan.
"Why, can't you believe so-and-so?" Deng Ai will always have the strength to not admit defeat.
Deng Zhong had already stood up, his hand pressed on the hilt of the knife.
"Don't dare, I'm willing to follow the governor, and he will take revenge one day." The subordinates could only bow their heads.
Deng Ai snorted coldly.
"The Liangzhou army has cavalry, and if it hasn't caught up for so long, it must be blocked in front, and it is not easy for our army to break through." As soon as the people's morale turned around, Tian Xu poured a scoop of cold water.
"What do you mean by that?" Deng Ai was depressed and had nowhere to vent, so someone sent him to the door.
Isn't this a good time to make an example?
It's just that Tian Xu's eyes were also gloomy, and he looked at Deng Ai without fear, "Back to the governor, my subordinates feel that Yang Zheng will lay a net in front of him, and our army will not be able to break through at all." ”
He dared to say this, naturally he had confidence, there were three hundred rivers in the north behind him, and there were only seven or eight hundred people around Deng Ai.
Of these seven or eight hundred, not all of them are of the same mind as him.
"What are you going to do?" Deng Ai's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"The subordinates feel that they can't go south, but should break through to the northeast, stay away from Guanzhong first, enter Hedong, avoid the Liangzhou army's net, and give the brothers a way to live."
"If you go south to gather the remnants of the army, if there are 3,000 troops under a certain command, where can you go in the world? What if Yang Er has cavalry? If it weren't for people like you, who fear the enemy like a tiger, how could you be defeated today? The more Deng Ai spoke, the more angry he became, and vented all the resentment and anger in his heart to Tian Xu.
Tian Xu's face sank, even if he could bear this kind of bird qi, he couldn't swallow the parts behind him.
The only highlight of this battle was that Tian Xu and Duan Zhuo attacked the Liangzhou military camp together.
Even if there is no merit, there is hard work, but it is worthless in Deng Ai's mouth.
With a few "bangs", several Hebei big men couldn't hold it back and drew their knives.
The people around Deng Ai also drew their swords one after another.
Tian Xu is the only outlier under Deng Ai, who was transferred from Youzhou Youbeiping to Longyou, and has not been able to integrate into Deng Aijun.
Seeing that the scene was about to erupt, the sound of horses' hooves roared out from the front and back.
"Father, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and I will take care of today's affairs in the future." Deng Zhong reminded in a low voice.
The flame in Deng Ai's eyes was suppressed at this time, "Tian Xu, you are a striker." ”
A cold flame also burst out in Tian Xu's eyes, "The subordinates obey the order." ”
Shouts of killing came from all directions.
Liangzhou rode all over the mountains, and there were shouts of "capture and kill Deng Ai" everywhere.
In fact, whether it is to the north or south, this group of people cannot escape.
In several bloody battles, there were fewer and fewer people around Deng Ai, some people were killed, some were separated, some fled, Duan Zhuo was nowhere to be found, and Deng Zhong added a few new injuries to his body.
It was already dark, and the cold wind was whimpering.
Bright as day in all directions, fire dragons circled in the night, getting tighter and tighter.
There were constant screams and begs for mercy, as the other routs had been spotted by the cavalry.
"Did you find Deng Ai?" Liangzhou Jun's voice trembled with excitement.
"Not yet."
"Straight thief, can't this guy go to heaven and earth? Keep searching. ”
"Deng Ai's father and son's thief is a five-turn achievement, and the general has another reward, so he can't let the other brothers take it!"
"Need more to say?"
A small group of foot riders clinged to the col where they were hiding.
Deng Ai has long been exhausted, but he still does not give up the desire to survive, "Where is the front?" ”
"Shallow water ahead."
"After the shallow water plateau is Jingyang, the captain will definitely send troops to meet us!" Deng Ai encouraged the crowd to be humane, or rather deceitful.
But there were only more than 100 people around, all of them were injured and exhausted.
"My subordinates think that the captain will definitely not send troops to meet the governor."
A cold voice sounded in the darkness.
Deng Ai raised his head suddenly, but saw Tian Xu's tall figure, and a row of Youyan strong men behind him, with a ring knife in his hand and a cold air.
"Tian Xu, what are you going to do?"
"I'm here to borrow a thing from the governor!" Tian Xu endured it for too long, and his voice changed excitedly.
"What?"
"Father and son!"
In the darkness of the night, only the cold wind howled.
Deng Ai laughed suppressedly, like a night owl, "You are so bold, I already knew that you were a rebel and a thief!" ”
Tian Xu also laughed, "You are wrong, my Tian family is under Wei En, and Sima and his son are the rebellious ministers and thieves!" If you Deng Ai help you to abuse, you will be despised by the people of the world, and you will be stinking for 10,000 years after death! ”
Tian Chou is one of the best celebrities in Hebei, assisting Cao Cao to attack Wuhuan in the north, and has always been courteous to Cao Cao, Cao Pi and his sons, and Pingsu is extremely friendly with Xiahoudun.
Later, he was one of the four congs along with Xiahou Xuan.
At that time, he was transferred from Youbeiping to Longyou, which was Sima Shi's differentiation plan.
But those who might be loyal to Cao Wei were suppressed.
Sima Shi did everything without leakage, and Tian Xu also accepted his fate, but Deng Ai never let him go.
"So-and-so knows, you're going to be a thief!" Deng Aiqiang stood up.
Deng Zhong also held a knife in front.
However, Deng Ai's subordinates quietly retreated and disappeared into the night.
"No, this is the righteousness of the world!" Tian Xu pulled out the knife.
The cold wind swept by, and the sword light rose.
In the dark night, there were crackling sounds and screams, and more than 100 people surrounded Deng Ai's father and son and more than a dozen guards, and cracked down with a knife......
