Chapter 488: Yaowu vs. Chengwei
Since ancient times, life and death have been the biggest things in life, and only the despair of facing death can be understood or precious.
Therefore, when more than a thousand Yaowu troops drew their weapons and went straight to the city guard camp with murderous spirits, Lu He and the others were completely desperate in their hearts.
To say that in the face of death, Lu He is not very afraid, after all, he was also a veteran of a hundred battles.
But when he faced death, he had a lot of unwillingness in his heart.
Thinking about him, Lu He has relied on daring to fight for so many years, and finally survived from the northern border to return to Jinling City alive.
Then he blended into the city guard camp by groveling and bending to meet him.
Later, he relied on his whiskers and horses to get the position of the commander of the city guard battalion from Zongzheng Temple.
Although his methods of ascending to the throne seem to be a little unacceptable, Lu He admits that he has not done anything to be sorry for the people over the years.
Although the city guard camp is in his hands, there are some people who want to eat and take cards, but it is much better than the city guard camp of the Yaowu army.
But today, their city guard camp will be destroyed at the hands of these Yaowu soldiers whom they have always looked down on.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel that this world was unfair.
"If a manly man dies, he will die, I can die standing but I must not live on my knees!"
When facing death, the blood that had been buried in Lu He's heart was suddenly stimulated.
He suddenly remembered his experience of dying on the battlefield in the north.
At that time, he understood a truth: if you want to live, you must dare to face death.
"Lu Shuai has a point, we have all reached this situation now, even if we don't resist, I'm afraid we will not be able to escape death, and we will not let fight to the death."
Hearing this, Liu Si gritted his teeth and said resolutely with his eyes.
"As for Tang Minghu's other people, it doesn't matter if they lose their fighting spirit, as long as someone takes the lead in the charge, these people will definitely understand that only resistance is the last way."
Lu He then looked at Tang Minghu again and said.
"It's like lighting a lamp, only if we ignite the wick thoroughly, the beeswax will be replenished, and if the wick doesn't burn, the solidified beeswax won't melt at all."
Lu He's tactical analysis, several people around him looked at him with admiration.
"In that case, let's kill you!"
Tang Minghu originally wanted to persuade Lu He and the others to find a way to bypass these Yaowu troops and then flee.
But now that he understood Lu He's determination, he no longer persuaded Lu He and them to flee in advance.
"Brothers, we didn't kill just now, after all, what we killed just now were some rabble, but now let's go and compare with those Yaowu soldiers."
After Tang Minghu's loud roar, the twenty or so people who were already exhausted just now immediately became extremely excited as if they had suddenly been beaten with chicken blood.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
Although there were only about 20 of them, the three killing words shouted from their mouths were louder and louder than the other.
At the same time, the killing intent contained in these three killing words is also becoming stronger and stronger.
Looking at these more than 20 men who are not afraid of life and death and are willing to be the wick of the candle, although there are crystal tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a man in my city guard camp, so my city guard camp is much stronger than the Yaowu army, Zheng Yu, you are far worse than me!"
Lu He laughed while wiping away tears.
Then he was the first to draw the long sword at his waist and take the lead in the direction of Yaowujun.
And Tang Minghu, Liu Si, and even Zhang Fengmu all drew their weapons at this time and went straight to this Qianyao martial army.
"Follow Lu Shuai to kill together!"
The remaining twenty or so also shouted loudly at the surrounding city guard battalions as they ran.
Emotions are something that can spread among people, and it can spread very quickly.
The surrounding city guards and soldiers who saw no hope of escaping began to kill in the direction of the Yaowu Army under the leadership of Lu He and others.
"These people don't know whether they are alive or dead, they still dare to resist at this time!"
Ji Lu, who was riding on a war horse, said with disdain.
"General, these guys obviously know that they can't escape now, so they're ready to jump off the wall in a hurry, it's better for us to open up a gap a little, so that the morale they have finally gathered will quickly collapse."
A Yaowu army leader beside Ji Lu proposed with a flattering face.
"Humph! Let go of the gap? Are you going to let Lu He and them escape? ”
When Ji Lu heard this, he immediately opened his eyes angrily and asked viciously.
The squad leader next to him obviously didn't expect that he didn't shoot the horse's ass well, and it slapped directly on the horse's hooves.
"My lord is wronged, my subordinates have always been loyal to you and Zheng Shuai, how could they have such thoughts!"
"Humph! The person who rushed to the front now is Lu He, as long as he kills the gang of guys in the city guard camp, it will be a plate of scattered sand, and now let go of a gap, wouldn't it be a tiger returning to the mountain? ”
Ji Lu reprimanded coldly.
"The general is taught!"
Seeing that Ji Lu was so proud, the commander of the Yaowu army immediately lowered his head and put on a look of letting the other party reprimand.
Ji Lu saw that the captain looked obedient, and he couldn't help but feel very happy in his heart.
Thinking that he used to be Zhang Ben's lieutenant general, the captains under him have always ignored him.
But now that he had a slight look of displeasure, the group of fellows immediately became extremely submissive.
This unprecedented experience made Ji Lu feel like he was fluttering.
"All the Yaowu soldiers obey my orders: kill every soldier of the city guard battalion you see in front of you!"
With Ji Lu's order, all the Yaowu soldiers clenched their weapons one after another.
But most people didn't seem to be much excited.
On the contrary, most of the Yaowu soldiers showed some reluctance and hesitation in their eyes.
However, now that the military order has been issued, even if they are dissatisfied, they can only grit their teeth and carry it out.
And they also understood that the place where they were now was a battlefield, and there was already an undying enemy between them and the city guard battalion.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
Immediately, there were bursts of shouts and killings from Yaowujun's side.
So the two sides immediately slapped each other like two huge waves.
As soon as the two sides made contact, they did not leave a hand.
Although Lu He, as the commander of the city guard battalion, usually needs him to take action, but as a veteran who has experienced life and death, he still retains the habit of exercising every day.
And this also makes him now have enough strength to ensure that he is not injured by the blade on the battlefield.
"Concentrate manpower to kill Lu He first!"
Ji Lu, who was riding on a war horse, looked at Lu He, who was desperately slashing in the crowd, and he couldn't help but order loudly.
However, although his order was issued, it was not easy for the Yaowu army to kill Lu He in a short time.
Because Tang Minghu and the others who were chasing after him had already resisted all the Yaowu troops on the left and right sides of the Lu River.
Therefore, Lu He only needs to concentrate on facing the enemy who is attacking head-on.
At this time, although the soldiers of the Yaowu Army in front of him were also constantly waving the weapons in their hands, they were not trying to kill Lu He, they were just to resist the long sword that Lu He kept swinging.
These Yaowu soldiers were shocked and panicked in their hearts at this time.
They didn't expect Lu He's attack to be so swift, and the momentum on his body was so terrifying.
These Yaowu soldiers, who had not usually experienced actual combat, were immediately caught off guard when faced with such a situation.
"I'll hold this shit! Can't so many of you still kill him? ”
Ji Lu was sitting on the war horse at this time, looking at the timid appearance of Sergeant Yaowu, and couldn't help but be angry.
At this time, he couldn't wait to step forward and take the knife himself to look at the useless waste.
But at this time, as the general of this Yaowu army, it is impossible for him to go into battle in person.
And those Yaowu soldiers were scolded by Ji Lu so angrily, and their bloody nature was immediately stimulated.
So these guys also began to muster up the courage, and after successfully blocking Lu He's attack, they pumped cold and fired back a blow or two.
And this immediately changed the original situation.
Due to the beginning of the Yaowu army's counterattack, Lu He had to start defending, so that his original rainstorm attack suddenly became slowed down.
Seeing this, the soldiers of the Yaowu Army immediately increased the frequency of their return fire.
This caused Lu He to lose the opportunity to attack all of a sudden, and he also changed from active offense to passive defense.
"Protect Lu Shuai!"
After Tang Minghu discovered the danger of Lu He, he immediately reminded his comrades around him loudly.
These people then quickly approached Lu He and forced several Yaowu troops in front of Lu He to retreat.
"It seems that he is still old, and his physical strength is not as good as before."
After someone helped him block the attack of the Yaowu army, Lu He finally took the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Lu Shuai, please step back, we are here!"
Several city guard battalion guards stood in front of Lu He and said with a firm face.
"You boys, how can I, as the commander of the city guard camp, hide behind everything and let you go to death first?"
Lu He pulled a young city guard battalion soldier in front of him, and then he stepped forward and stood side by side with several other young soldiers.
"Today, we're either going to live together or we're going to die together."
As he spoke, Lu He continued to wield his long sword, and the Chaoyao Martial Army slashed away.
And several young city guard battalion soldiers beside him couldn't help but be moved when they saw this, and at the same time, their bodies suddenly burst out with more vigorous strength.
So they also followed the frenzied brandishing of weapons and killed those Yaowu soldiers one after another.
"What the hell are you all eating? I can't even get rid of these city guard camps! ”
Ji Lu saw that Lu He, who was already in crisis, was actually saved by several city guard battalion soldiers, and he was furious again.
"A few of you will go up to me personally, I want Lu He's head!"
Seeing that the soldiers of the Yaowu Army had no way to kill Lu He in a short period of time, Ji Lu directly pointed at a few Yaowu army commanders and ordered.
The Yaowu army captains he pointed out couldn't help but shudder when they heard this.
They knew very well that the soldiers of the city guard camp at this time would inevitably fight to the death when they knew that they would definitely die, and if they went up now, it would be no different from sending them to death.
But now that Ji Lu has spoken, if they don't go, they can't do it, after all, this is a disobedience to military orders, and according to military regulations, Ji Lu can directly cut them.
Just as these people were hesitating, suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves not far away.
Accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, there were bursts of gold.
"Which fucking idiot is banging on the golden gong? Don't you want to live anymore? ”
Ji Lu couldn't help but be furious when he heard Mingjin's voice.
He turned his head and went to look for the man who had struck the gong.
But when he saw the person who was coming, he immediately shut his mouth.
And the original anger on his face was replaced by a flattering smile in an instant.
"Zheng Shuai has ordered the Yaowu army to retreat immediately!"
Immediately, the shouts of the heralds were heard in the distance.
The soldiers of the Yaowu Army couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this, they were actually unwilling to fight with the city guard camp in the first place.
Now that they have ordered a retreat, they can't ask for it.
So these Yaowu soldiers immediately put away their weapons, then turned their heads and rushed back.
The distance between them and the city guard camp was also widened in an instant.
The soldiers of the city guard battalion who had lost their target were all confused at this time.
Even Lu He was a little stunned at this time.
"Lu Shuai, they seem to have withdrawn their troops!"
A city guard battalion soldier beside Lu He said incredulously.
"Seems to be the case!"
Lu He also said in a daze, he even forgot the pain in his arm for the time being.
However, at this time, everyone's hearts were wondering what was going on with Yaowujun.
Just when everyone was puzzled, another group of cavalry appeared in the distance.
The speed of these cavalry was extremely fast, and it only took a moment to come in front of them in front of Lu He.
And when Lu He looked at these people clearly, he couldn't help but gasp.
"Lu He immediately ordered all the guards of the city guard battalion to stop attacking."
The person riding on the war horse turned out to be Mu Xiayan of Zongzheng Temple.
"But Lord Sizheng, those Jin King Jin's personal guards are still slaughtering the soldiers of our city guard camp, and we stop attacking now, aren't we letting them slaughter?"
Lu He asked puzzled, holding his injured arm.
"Don't worry, the old Jin King's side will also stop attacking."
After Mu Xiayan finished speaking, he rode his war horse again and ran in the direction where the old Jin King was.
And behind him were Luo Yong, the deputy commander of the Tiger Guard, and Zheng Yu, the commander of the Yaowu Army, and Princess Chengping.
Soon they crossed the ranks of the city guard camp and came to the other side of the encirclement.
But when they saw the scene, these people all gasped.
"How could so many Houma horsemen be killed?"
Looking at the corpses of more than a hundred Jin kings' guards and thirty or forty Houma iron horsemen who fell not far away, Zheng Yu finally couldn't help but ask curiously.
In his opinion, the situation at the scene is too weird.
"Could it be that they did it in the city guards?"
Princess Chengping said with some uncertainty.
"It can't be! I don't know the strength of the city guard battalion, if they really have this strength, then Lu He would have come to me for trouble. ”
Zheng Yu shook his head and said.
"Look over there!"
Just when everyone was puzzled, Zheng Shaodong screamed in surprise and pointed not far away.
And everyone immediately looked in the direction that Zheng Shaodong pointed.
It's good not to look at it, but when they look at it, they are once again shocked and speechless.
At this time, they saw that not far away, four people on war horses were chasing dozens of horses.
In front of them, two other people were riding horses, constantly moving around the two crowds.
"Am I mistaken?"
At this time, even Mu Xiayan, who had never been surprised, couldn't help but rub his eyes.
