Chapter 17: King Jin is ambushed
The war broke out again, and the offensive of the Turks did not weaken much, and the morale was defeated before, but after a few days of yellow sand, it seemed to have passed, and the morale was much better.
The soldiers of the Great Sui were naturally not afraid, and they came to kill one by one, and two killed a pair, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
At night, the Turks were not allowed to cross the thunder pool half a step, and the people in the city were much more relieved, and the fighting was fierce, but as long as they couldn't hit the city, they were safe.
Yang Guang returned to Yanmen Pass again under the instruction of Yang Shuang, and Li Che also came back together.
Li Che still had to contact the reinforcement troops behind him and wait for the arrival of the large army.
……
……
In the next few days, the weather continued to get colder, and after winter, even if there was a house to shelter him now, Yang Guang felt cold and biting, let alone the soldiers outside.
The Turks stopped for several days, and they did not know what was happening for a few days and did not attack, until one day when the sky was clear, the Turks finally reappeared.
And this time, the Turks were uncharacteristically uncharacteristic, and did not launch a fierce attack on the city or shout for battle, but Shabali Khan led people to the city wall on a tall horse, but he pulled a rope behind his horse, and at the other end of the rope was a man.
Sha Bo Luo Khan pulled the rope, and the person who was being led also appeared in front of everyone, it was none other than Qin Qiong, who had gone to attack the Turkic grain and grass camp before.
At this time, Qin Qiong was stripped of her shirt, tied her hands, gagged her mouth, and her skin was red in the cold wind.
As soon as he saw Qin Qiong, Yang Shuang stretched out his hand to stop the archers who were about to attack.
Sha Bo slightly Khan, riding a horse and leading Qin Qiong around, and then shouted: "King Wei of the Great Sui, do you recognize this young general?" ”
"Sha Boluo, in recent days, your Turks have suffered great damage in our Shuozhou City, and we have captured a lot of Turkic cavalry, today you brought our soldiers, let's exchange prisoners."
But Sha Bo Luo Khan said: "This little general is very heroic, one person killed more than a dozen of us, and it was not easy to capture it, how can you say that you can change it, you can change it, I want 500 good bows, 100 horses, you can change it?" ”
Facing the other party's lion and opened his mouth, it was impossible for Yang Shuang to agree to this kind of asking price, after all, even if it was a compromise, if the other party was Yang Guang, he would have to compromise, but it was just Qin Qiong.
A young and promising soldier who doesn't know where to find it.
"Sha Bo Luo Khan, please go back, our army will not exchange hostages before the formation, if you want to fight today, you will not come back."
Sha Bolu Khan was very cooperative: "King Wei of the Great Sui, he is really cold-blooded and ruthless, watching his subordinates die like this but indifferent." ”
"Archer, prepare."
The archers were all drawn to their bows, and Sha Bo Luo Khan hurriedly pulled away from him, because he knew that Yang Shuang would definitely attack.
After withdrawing from the effective range of the bow and arrows, Shabalio Khan still led his team and did not retreat.
The two armies were at a stalemate, and finally when the sun was setting, Sha Bo Luo Khan pulled out a few other prisoners, and the sergeants who had followed Qin Qiong and others to sneak attack the grain and grass before.
The Khan of Shabalu loosened the rope that bound them, and said with a smile on his face, "Run, run to your city." ”
The captured soldiers ran away as if they were about to be amnestied, and the Sha Bo Luo Khan waved his hand, and the team of archers of dozens of people behind him was full of bows and arrows.
In the midst of the cruel laughter, arrows flew out, and the soldiers of our army who had just escaped fell to the ground one by one in the rain of arrows in the setting sun.
Yang Shuang on the city wall clenched his fists, he could only watch his soldiers die tragically and couldn't do anything, and now it was too late to go out of the city to rescue.
"Someone, go and inform King Jin about Qin Qiong's arrest."
As night fell, Yang Guang learned the news of Qin Qiong's arrest, and his face was stunned.
The team that was sent out, there was no news for so many days, Yang Guang was a little worried, but he didn't expect that he had been captured by the Turks, and there was no way to know what happened now.
Yang Guang was very worried about Qin Qiong, so he said: "Come on, prepare horses, I'll go to Shuozhou." ”
"Your Highness, it's too dangerous to go out at night."
"It's okay, I'll take two hundred cavalry forward, the Turks don't have the ability to unknowingly lead a large army around Shuozhou City."
Yang Guang knew that it was impossible for Yang Shuang to be soft for Qin Qiong and the Turks, which was very demoralizing, but Yang Guang couldn't watch Qin Qiong have an accident.
Regardless of the obstruction, Yang Guang took people to set off.
The moon is bright tonight, and the stars are scarce, and the road in front of me can still be recognized by the moonlight.
The horse had run for more than ten miles, and suddenly a group of people came out of the mountains and forests on both sides.
I didn't see him, but I saw a bright scimitar under the bright moon.
No one knew how the Turks came here, they were not familiar with the terrain of this area, how could they get around the mountains and forests, and they seemed to know that they had to travel overnight, and they were specially ambushed here, and it was unreasonable to think about it.
Now it was too late to think about whether it was reasonable or unreasonable, and the vanguard in front shouted: "There is an enemy attack, be on guard." ”
The Turks' scimitars slashed at the horses at the front, and the two men fell to the ground with their horses, and before the first soldier could get up, the Turks surrounded him and cut them down with their knives.
The soldiers rushed to the battle, and the muskets rang out, and Yang Guang's personal guards naturally had to keep the muskets.
The fiery serpent swallowed, and the Turks fell to the ground with the sound of gunfire.
The sudden appearance of the enemy turned this place into a battlefield of bayonets, and Yang Guang immediately ordered: "Don't fight, there are no horses in the place, let's break out." ”
The cavalry had an innate advantage over the infantry, and everyone began to break through when they heard Yang Guang's words.
But the sound of arrows breaking through the air came from the side, and the Turkic soldiers who were ambushed in the mountains and forests began to release arrows, trying to stop Yang Guang and the others.
has been preparing for a long time without defense, and Yang Guang's party is now very passive.
Li Feng shouted: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, they came around the ambush from the mountains and forests, and there can't be many people, so we will fight with them." ”
Yang Guang nodded, pulled out his sword and shouted: "Kill." ”
The Sui army stabilized the formation, and this began a frontal fight.
Yang Guang is not to be outdone, his own martial arts are not bad, and he is not afraid of fighting.
In the crowd of fighting, Yang Guang was shocked to find Zhou Wu wearing Turkic clothes, at first he thought he was wrong, but he didn't expect it to be Zhou Wu, and the number of Turkic troops far exceeded their expectations, there must be at least three hundred people, so many people come around, and only someone like Zhou Wu can lead them.
Yang Guang didn't know what was going on, but shouted angrily: "Zhou Wu!! ”
Zhou Wu heard Yang Guang's roar, and a trace of remorse flashed in his eyes, and instead ordered the Turks to come: "Surround and kill them." ”
The Turks surrounded Yang Guang's team, and after a fight, they confronted each other.
Zhou Wu walked to the front of the Turks at this time and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, if you are captured, I can guarantee that you will be fine." ”
Yang Guang's face was gloomy, and the anger seemed to gush out: "Zhou Wu, I never expected that you would still be a traitor, in vain I still believe in you so much, so Qin Qiong was captured, also because of you?" ”
Zhou Wu was a little embarrassed, and the two of them were completely as if Zhou Wu was surrounded by Yang Guang: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, my real name is not Zhou Wu, my name is Liu Wu Zhou, Liu Kuang is my father, I know what my father did, you will definitely sentence him to death, there is no room for negotiation, as a son, I have no choice but to make this decision, I can't watch my father die, as long as you surrender, I guarantee that you will be fine." ”
"Liu! Military! Week! ”
Yang Guang read word by word, but he didn't expect that Zhou Wu was actually Liu Wu Zhou, the only person who was attached to the Xiongnu and fought for the Central Plains during the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty in history.
Liu Wuzhou, like Shi Jingjiao, who ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun in later generations, is a person who is willing to bow down to other races, and is the most despised one, Yang Guang still can't compare Liu Wuzhou with the bold and righteous young ranger Zhou Wu before.
But the facts are in front of you.
Angry but can't let anger get carried away, Yang Guang knows that even if he dies now, he can't be captured, once captured, he will become a weapon for the Turks to stab at the Great Sui, and he will face endless insults.
"Liu Wuzhou, you let the Turks take Qin Qiong as a prisoner, because you know that once I know that Qin Qiong is captured, I will definitely find a way to rescue him, considering King Wei's tough character, you guess that I will personally go to persuade him, so he ambushed in advance, right?"
Liu Wuzhou did not deny that this was his plan.
Yang Guang sighed that he had never doubted Liu Wuzhou, and now that he had fallen into the trap of others, he only blamed himself for believing it wrongly, and sure enough, the words of the ancestors were still reasonable, and the heart of harming people was indispensable, and the heart of preventing people was indispensable.
whispered to Li Feng and said: "Li Feng, I fell into their trap today, I admit it, but if I am caught, I would rather die." ”
Li Feng immediately clenched his fists: "Your Highness, we will fight and escort you out." ”
"Nope! I will die with you, and I will die with you today. ”
The fight began again, and the soldiers of the Great Sui fought to the death.
There was a slight fire not far away, and a caravan took advantage of the night to set off from Shuozhou to Yanmen Pass, and at this time it happened to encounter people and horses on both sides fighting.
In the caravan, there were two old acquaintances of Yang Guang, the two brothers Ma Yu, who had confessed to Liu Kuang before, and quietly approached when they heard the movement in front of them.
"Big brother, it seems that our Great Sui army is still fighting the Turks."
"How can there be Turks here?"
"I don't know."
"Dry food, no matter why he appeared, the Turks killed so many of us, Lao Tzu just wants to fight the Turks, and I have the courage to follow me."
The two brothers of the Ma family lifted the cloth covering the carriage, and there was the armor of the Turks and the armor of the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, all of which were obtained from cleaning the battlefield, and at this time they picked up the weapons in their hands and rushed up.
The two sides who fought fiercely did not expect that another group of people would rush out inexplicably, and they saw less than thirty or fifty people.
It's a mess for a while.
