Chapter 489: Alive

Zhou Ziru's carriage was bumpy and fast, and thousands of guards followed closely around the carriage, just to protect Zhou Ziru's safety.

The Yulin army is fast, and the Xigui army is faster. Without the drag of the carriage, the vanguard of the front army was even more than 2,000 cavalry, like a sharp knife, stabbing Zhou Ziru's carriage directly, with obvious intentions.

Mr. Wu simply threw off the reins with one hand, drew out the sword given by the King of Xigui, and bravely took the lead, throwing the horsemen behind him a few feet away.

"Zhou Xiang, the chasing soldiers are coming!" The guards around the carriage were all panicked, and they also had weapons in their hands, just waiting to fight.

Zhou Ziru looked at the dense mountains and forests around Yucheng, there was not the slightest movement, and these ambushed Yulin troops had no sign of making a move. He couldn't help but clench his fists, and he couldn't do anything at this time.

"Zhou Xiang, Yulin Army... How can you not attack? One of the guards couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Ziru looked in the direction of the Western Guijun and was relieved. Although the vanguard cavalry of the Western Gui Army had rushed over, the infantry was far behind, and some of them were even still on the official road and did not turn the woods.

"Alas..."Zhou Ziru couldn't help sighing: "One ear is ten taels of silver, they are waiting for the 'ear' to come..."

It turned out that the Yulin Army wanted to wait for all the Western Gui Army to arrive, and then encircle and annihilate them together, not for anything else, just for that little reward!

"These bastards! For the sake of a mere ten taels of silver, I didn't even care about the safety of Zhou Xiang, and when I returned to Beijing, I would definitely let His Majesty punish them all to death! The guard said indignantly.

Zhou Ziru was silent, now although the imperial court has recovered Nanhuai, Donglu, Chuxiang and other places, but it is still a hundred wastes waiting to be rebuilt. What's more, this is not a disrespectful order of hundreds or thousands of people, there are tens of thousands of people, is it difficult to kill them?

While he was talking, the Xiguijun was already approaching, and Mr. Wu rode alone and rushed on a prancing horse. Dozens of guards stepped forward to resist, trying to stop the horses. But the momentum of the war horse was so great, these dozens of guards blocked together, and they were also directly knocked out by the war horse, and several people in front of them were killed on the spot.

"Protect Zhou Xiang!" The rest of the guards shouted in unison, and a swarm of people rushed over, surrounding Mr. Wu in the middle. Mr. Wu had just knocked dozens of guards into the air, but the momentum of the war horse had also dissipated a lot, and now he was surrounded by people, and he couldn't get out for a while, so he had to swing his sword with one hand and slash indiscriminately.

It would have been easy if it was just Mr. Wu, but the two thousand cavalry troops following him quickly rushed over, and one by one tall horses crashed into the escort infantry formation, knocking countless guards into their backs and wailing.

Hundreds of guards were quickly slaughtered, and Mr. Wu was relieved of the siege and rushed towards Zhou Ziru's carriage again.

"Brothers, come on! Be sure to swear to protect Zhou Xiang! The commander of the guards shouted, and led nearly half of the men and horses to move forward with guns first, stopping in front of Zhou Ziru's carriage.

"Take Zhou Xiang away!" The commander of the guards turned his head and shouted at the guards around Zhou Ziru's carriage, who were taken aback and hurriedly pushed the carriage all the way south.

Zhou Ziru looked at the young guard commander and the guards on both sides of the carriage who kept turning back to fight, and he was a little blank for a while.

Who is he? It's my Captain of the Guard, but I can't remember his name at all? What are they going to do? How did you get there? Someone is injured, save someone!

Zhou Ziru wanted to shout and let them come back, but he couldn't shout, so he had to watch one after another guards rush past his carriage, stop in front, and then... Die.

"You! You! And the two of you! The four of you must follow Zhou Xiang's carriage. No matter what happens, even if you die, Zhou Xiang can't be hurt at all, hear no! Outside the carriage, the captain of the escort team gave orders to several of the guards.

"Order!"

"We can't be okay if we die? It's embarrassing, isn't it? Hahahaha. ”

"What the hell are you? Can it be compared to a week? Hey, you wait to die before me, you kid is the most slippery, I have to watch you! ”

"Captain... I'm going to take this book home, please help me bring it home..."

"I'm sure I'll die before you and help you bring it home? Give it to me, I'll go hide a place for you, if our people win, they will clean up the battlefield and see it, and they will help you! ”

Outside the carriage, a group of guards and the captain of the escort laughed and chatted, not paying attention to the approaching Xigui army at all.

When Zhou Ziru heard these laughter, his mind was finally no longer chaotic, and he slowly came to his senses, opened his mouth, and could speak.

He hurriedly poked his head out and shouted, "Stop!" Ahem... If you don't go to the south gate, the carriage will turn back and return to the west gate of Chongqing! ”

The guards were all stunned, and they ran a little further to the corner, so how could they turn back?

"Quick!" Zhou Ziru was anxious.

Seeing that Zhou Ziru was so anxious, the guards were puzzled, but they did not slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the coachman turn the head of the car together, avoiding the Western Guijun and the guards who were fighting together, and drove towards the west gate of Yucheng.

"Zhou Xiang, it's a sheep into the mouth of a tiger to turn around now!" The captain of the guard hurriedly persuaded Zhou Ziru: "Zhou Xiang, turn around!" It's too late to go back! ”

Zhou Ziru walked out of the carriage, stood on the front board, and shook his head with a firm gaze: "No, just go to the West Gate." ”

In the battle group, Mr. Wu had been keeping an eye on the carriage, and at this time, seeing that the carriage not only did not escape, but turned back, he was overjoyed, and slashed with two swords in his hand, forcing away the surrounding guards, and rode his horse towards Zhou Ziru's carriage.

"There's an enemy attack!" The guards who were left behind found Zhou Ziru who rushed over, and immediately separated several people and greeted them.

With his sword in his hand, Mr. Wu also grabbed the reins, leaped from the heads of the guards, gave way to them, and pursued the carriage unrelentingly.

The nearby Xigui cavalry saw Mr. Wu's one-armed posture, recognized him, and rode horses to chase after him, and soon, behind the carriage, a Xigui cavalry of nearly 100 people gathered up and chased after him.

"The one in the carriage is Zhou Ziru, the prime minister of the Great Enlightenment! The one who captured Zhou Ziru, the lord of Sichuan and Shu! Mr. Wu also guessed that Zhou Ziru would be tired of going and returning, but he couldn't think about it now, and he couldn't care much more, so he raised his sword and shouted.

The lord of Sichuan and Shu! That's the existence of the Western Guiwang on an equal footing! Although even if he sits on the throne of the king of Sichuan and Shu, he will be controlled by the king of Xigui, but he is still an existence under one person and above ten thousand people!

In the end, the carriage took the lead, and the first came to the west gate of Yucheng, the coachman hurriedly stopped the carriage, and then went forward, it was a mountain cliff, and the carriage could not go up.

Zhou Ziru jumped out of the carriage, took a deep breath, and shouted at the chasing Xigui cavalry: "Zhou Ziru, the Great Enlightenment Minister!" Hereon! ”

Zhou Ziru doesn't know martial arts, he doesn't have any internal strength, and now he has some injuries on his body, this shout is not even as loud as the voice of ordinary people, but this shout seems to resound throughout the battlefield, and the sound of fighting slowly decreases, and everyone looks at Zhou Ziru.

Well-dressed, with long flowing hair and a soft female appearance, everything indicates the unusual identity of his identity.

The surrounding Xigui army moved, and some people unconsciously walked towards Zhou Ziru, as long as they took him, fame and fortune, glory and wealth were all in front of them!

The foot soldiers of the Xigui Army in the distance quickened their pace and rushed towards Zhou Ziru's side. No one is going to be able to live with their future.

"Kill!"

It was not only these Xigui troops who moved when they heard the wind, but also the Yulin Army hiding in the mountains and forests. At this time, I don't know who took the lead, and as soon as the word "kill" came out, countless soldiers and horses of the Yulin Army emerged in the surrounding mountains and forests, rushing towards the western noble army.

The wealth of the Yulin Army is the Western Gui Army.

Mr. Wu's heart tightened, he expected it to be good, and there was indeed an ambush! But now is not the time to count the number of enemy troops, in his eyes, there is only Zhou Ziru! The war horse rushed to Zhou Ziru's face in an instant, and the sword was raised high, and it was slashed down at Zhou Ziru.

A guard next to him saw the opportunity and crashed headlong into the war horse, knocking Mr. Wu's crotch war horse away a little, and the sword also grazed Zhou Ziru's face, and a wisp of cyan was cut off and fell.

Zhou Ziru looked down, and there were a few gray hairs mixed with the blue.

"Protect Zhou Xiang!" The guards who had knocked away the horses roared hoarsely, and were trampled on the neck by the Xigui sergeant who followed closely behind, and the roar stopped abruptly.

With this interruption, the rest of the guards reacted one after another, and immediately stopped in front of the carriage, forming a semicircle, protecting the carriage and Zhou Ziru tightly behind them.

In the distance, the Yulin army was like a tiger descending from the mountain, killing into the infantry of the Xigui army, no one cared about the movement here, and no one rushed to the rescue.

"What a righteous man!" Mr. Wu restrained the war horse, looked back at the guard who was trampled on and broke his neck, praised it, and then waved his sword and pointed at Zhou Ziru: "Take it!" ”

The foot soldiers have no advantage over the cavalry at all, even if they are wearing heavy armor, they can't resist the impact of the war horses, not to mention that these guards are only wearing a thin layer of soft armor, and there is almost no defense at all.

The Xigui cavalry urged the war horses, clashed back and forth, and the weapons in their hands were spears and swords, cutting down the guards who surrounded several layers layer by layer. Looking at this posture, it should only be a matter of time before these few guards are all cut down.

Of course, the guards are not exactly sitting still, and every time the Xigui cavalry clashes, they will always leave some corpses behind. Both sides are just aimlessly consuming.

"Zhou Xiang, I entrust you with one thing...", one of the guards turned his head to Zhou Ziru and said.

Zhou Ziru was slightly stunned, he still remembered that this young guard was the one who had just begged others to help him carry the family letter.

Sure enough, the little guard took out a letter from his arms, although it was wrinkled, it was clean, and there were no blood stains and ink stains on it: "Zhou Xiang, I have a letter from my family, which was written for me by a big brother in the army, I can't read... There should be an address on it..."

"If Zhou Xiang has something wrong with you... That's it. Please also ask Zhou Xiang to help... I... I don't know who to look for, so I can only look for you..."The little guard said this a little timidly.

It's smart!

Zhou Ziru praised in his heart and said with a smile: "Because I will probably be the last to die, maybe I may live, so leave it to me?" ”

The little guard was about to answer, when a sledgehammer slammed into him, and the wind was fierce. As soon as the little guard pushed Zhou Ziru away, he jumped reflexively, stepped on the handle of the hammer and pounced on the cavalry, and tore it up. The war horse took the Xigui cavalry and the little guard away, and Zhou Ziru couldn't see them no matter how he tiptoed...

There were blood stains in the crowd that splashed over and splashed on the family letter, Zhou Ziru hurriedly put the family letter into his arms and put it away carefully.

In the entire battlefield, the most important thing is blood and roars and wails, Zhou Ziru was a little tired of listening to it, and frowned slightly. Suddenly, the sound of neat and orderly footsteps came.

Zhou Ziru panicked in his heart, hurriedly climbed into the carriage, and looked westward, a majestic army of soldiers and horses slowly walked out of the dense forest, the first one, with white hair, was the king of Xigui!

The King of the West is here!
