Chapter 166: Besieged
Zhao Deyan shook his head calmly, and said earnestly: "Junior, if you don't understand the situation, it's not right for everyone to be the same." ”
"I, Zhao Deyan, were ruined by the persecution of the former Sui court, and I went away to find a way to make a living. I have to meet the Ming lord Jieli Khan, the Great Khan does not think that I am from a humble background, and treats me as a national soldier, and I should repay him as a national soldier. ”
However, after serving as an official in the Turks for more than ten years, Zhao Deyan never persuaded the Great Khan to go south to conquer the Central Plains, and all his efforts were to promote the kingship of the Central Plains, and strive to let the people of the steppe enjoy the same peace and prosperity as the people of the Central Plains. This is how I repay Jieli Khan. ”
"There was a villain in the Central Plains, who repeatedly guessed that I was slandering and letting the cavalry go south, hehe, I underestimated me Zhao Deyan, although Zhao is not a gentleman, but he can't do the villain's behavior of revenge with a public weapon?"
Su Lie sneered: "Then what is it that you personally led the troops to intercept and kill today?" ”
Zhao Deyan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You will fight thousands of miles into the grassland, slaughter the royal court cleanly, and the Turks will suffer countless casualties, if you are Jieli, will you be spared?" The matter of eating the king's loyalty to the king, arresting you is not to deal with the Central Plains, but only to help the Great Khan take revenge. ”
As he spoke, he arched his hand towards Xiao Rui and said, "Xiao Concubine, I'm offended." ”
After listening to Zhao Deyan's story, Xiao Rui couldn't help but sigh that the world is impermanent, and it turns out that there is still a difference between the real situation and the intelligence record.
With the same respectful etiquette, he admired: "The family teacher once said: After experiencing persecution and pain, it is the most precious thing to choose those who have a bright heart. It is remarkable that Mr. can put aside personal enmity and reconcile the contradictions between the grassland and the Central Plains in his own way! Please accept Xiao Rui's salute. ”
Zhao Deyan's eyes were moved with tears, and after returning the salute, he resumed his identity as a Turkic military advisor, and said: "Xiao Yuma, you and others have committed heinous crimes, and the Great Khan will not be soft." It's a pity that I can't save you, please don't blame me. ”
Xiao Rui nodded and raised his glass: "Sir, drink this cup, you and I will divide the victory." If you want to gnaw on my 3,000 iron horses, you're afraid that 10,000 people won't be able to bite it. ”
The two drank the last cup of each other, and at the same time got up and returned to their war horses, Zhao Deyan stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction behind Xiao Rui: "Xiao Yu Ma Tianzong talent, if I am not fully prepared, how can I have been waiting for you at Yumen Pass?" Don't look forward to a savior, until my 20,000 people take you, the war on the Western Turk side will not end. ”
Sure enough, following the direction of his finger, Xiao Rui and the others turned around and saw a smoke and dust cavalry, looking at the formation, there were no more than 10,000.
It turned out that Zhao Deyan left 10,000 to wait for the rabbit, and secretly ambushed 10,000 to outflank him, which was really spicy.
Huo Anshun at the head of the Yumen Pass hurriedly spun in place, looking at the surrounded Tang cavalry in the distance, and turning his head to look at the Tang soldiers who gritted their teeth around him, Huo Anshun made a crazy decision: "Brothers, although the contact time is not long, but the more than 20,000 good horses that have been transported into the pass these days alone are enough to prove that Xiao Yuma is a genius." ”
"What is worse than the grassland of our Datang? It is horses and cavalry. Therefore, a genius like Xiao Yuma can't die......"
Before he finished speaking, the deputy general continued: "General, don't say anything, the brothers all understand, we also want to kill and save Xiao Yuma!" ”
"Yes, general, damn, watching the Turkic barbarians besiege and kill our people, Lao Tzu will not be laughed at and said to be a soft egg when he goes back?"
"That's right, you can't die without help! Seeing them slaughtering our people, if I don't dare to go down to save people, how can I see my grandmother when I go back? ”
"Yes, my mother-in-law told my son, saying that I am a hero, if I don't save myself today, how can I raise my head in front of my son?"
……
One by one, like a lit gasoline barrel, the entire Yumen Pass was filled with anger and war intent.
The guard general Huo Anshun waved his hand, and the five thousand veterans in the Yumen Pass were all assembled, and none of them left all out of the pass to kill the enemy! Although it was a 5,000-foot soldier, the bold posture of the charge, as if the two legs were two tireless war horses, were separated by ten miles, and they rushed forward with such a mighty roar.
Originally, Xiao Rui was communicating with Su Lie and the others on how to rush out, and it would be safe to rush under the jade gate.
This scene that happened suddenly disrupted Xiao Rui's plan, and also surprised Zhao Deyan, saying that the old, weak, sick and disabled people in Yumen Pass are really not afraid of death.
"Go, send 3,000 soldiers and horses to destroy this group of cripples in Yumen Pass!"
Xiao Rui was furious, "Damn, don't calculate, all of them will charge with me and kill them!" Ignore the pursuers behind you, and fight all the way into the Yumen Pass. ”
After speaking, he rushed out first, with a gentleman's sword in his left hand and a Tang Mo knife (that is, a horse chopping knife) in his right hand, as if the killing god possessed the tiger into the flock, rushed into the enemy formation and launched a crazy killing.
Why not his double hammer?
Of course not, his double hammer is too heavy, ordinary war horses can't move at all, this time to fight thousands of miles, no matter how good the horse is, it can't withstand the torture of the double hammer. So Xiao Rui's weapons along the way were all horse swords.
Originally, the horse chopping knife was an infantry weapon, which was used to ride with foot, but who is Xiao Rui? With strength and martial arts, ordinary weapons such as guns, halberds, and horse lances cannot fully exert his strength.
To put it simply, with ordinary weapons, killing people is too slow to keep up with his speed. The most suitable is probably the Guan Gong knife, but Xiao Rui chose a double-sided chopping knife (the predecessor of the three-pointed two-edged knife). The reason is simply because, if one side of the blade is cut, there is another side.
At this moment, in order to kill a way, and to let a group of fools in Yumen Pass survive, Xiao Rui turned on his firepower, holding blades in each hand, just to increase the killing efficiency.
Originally, the Datang Mo knife was a heavy weapon, and it was not easy for ordinary soldiers to pick it up, and it required a carefully selected strong man to wield it. But now, Xiao Rui waved it with one hand, like a toy, directly scaring the guards around Zhao Deyan.
"Strategist, isn't that person a civilian official? Why, how is it so powerful? Let's avoid it, right? ”
The corners of Zhao Deyan's mouth twitched, he didn't expect that there was very little information about Xiao Rui, he only knew that this person was a teenager, but who knew that he was still a killing god.
"Stay out of the way." Helpless, after all, reason prevailed over everything, Zhao Deyan was very aware of current affairs, and at this time he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart about this mission, Xiao Rui was so fierce, it was not easy to catch him.
At this moment, he saw a group of captives in the center of the Tang cavalry ranks, all tied to horses, tied to a group of guarded horses, charging with the army, but no enemy killed in their vicinity. Among them, there is also a woman who is not tied, which is very conspicuous.
Zhao Deyan immediately reacted, this was their weakness, so he ordered loudly: "Bypass Xiao Rui, go all out to enter their Chinese army, and rescue the prisoners!" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Rui could only compromise, he was about to kill through, and at this time, he had to turn the horse's head and come back to respond. Those Turkic royal court nobles were captive, and when they died, they died, but their own aunt, Empress Xiao, couldn't be fine.
