Chapter 19 Trapping the Enemy Camp Zhang Shao rescued
When Liu Yong came out of Empress Zhang's Jing'an Palace, it was already late, and the eunuch informed him of Chen Ji's whereabouts in time, and Liu Yong just smiled contemptuously.
He knew that the next place Chen Ji was going to must be his harem, that is, the place where Lin Yuniang was under house arrest.
After Liu Yong returned to the palace, the first thing he did was to call back the palace maid who was guarding there.
"Your Majesty is drunk, do you want the slaves and maids to serve and rest?" The palace maid asked in a shy whisper while covering the candles on the table with light veils.
"I still have state affairs to attend to, so you can wait outside." Although Liu Yong was a little drunk, his thinking was extremely clear and he said.
"Yes." The palace maid replied, go out.
Liu Yong sat down in his chair and pondered.
Suddenly, a thunderclap rolled over the palace without warning, and then, like a huge sword, a flash of lightning sliced through the night sky and danced in the black like a fiery dragon for a few seconds.
The palace maid who had just gone out let out let out a scream.
Liu Yong jumped up.
"Tell me to prepare horses outside, and I will go to the city to make rounds."
Before the palace maid could say yes, a samurai in armor rushed in from outside, followed by the eunuch on duty.
"Your Majesty, the grain and grass raised by General Qi Fang has arrived outside the city, but it was robbed by Deng Ai's envoys, General Qi Fang was wounded during the attack, and several generals in the city asked Your Majesty whether to pursue and regain the grain and grass?" The warrior was eager to speak very clearly, but Liu Yong had already grabbed the long sword on the table.
"Grain and grass are the lifeblood of the army and people in my capital, you must not lose it, you can return quickly, gather 500 men and horses at the city gate, and I will arrive later."
"Obedience." The samurai seemed to have expected such an outcome, and promised to run away.
Liu Yong grabbed the soft armor beside the bed.
"Since Your Majesty has already ordered that you can pursue it, why do you have to conquer it in person?" The palace maid came in, and while helping Liu Yong put on the soft armor, she was puzzled.
Liu Yong didn't have time to explain to her.
"Your Majesty is the hope of the people in the city, and it is also the last barrier for Cao Wei's army to dare not face up to my Shu Han, if Your Majesty always drives the expedition in person like this, once it is lost, it is not equivalent to giving my Shu Han Sheji hands to Cao Wei?" The palace maid said again.
Liu Yong's footsteps towards the door hesitated slightly.
He didn't expect a little palace maid to say such a thing.
"Wait here, and when I return, I will have something to ask you." After Liu Yong finished speaking, he walked out quickly.
At the gate of the city, more than a dozen cross-horse warriors and five hundred elite soldiers had been waiting for a long time.
"How is General Qi Fang's injuries?" Liu Yong asked.
"I'm going to go to the camp with the army for treatment, so I don't think there will be any big problem." A samurai replied.
Liu Yong commanded: "Open the city." ”
Two heavy doors were slowly pushed open, and not far away, the beams of countless torches were shaking. Obviously, it was Deng Ai's people who were driving the grain and grass cart away.
"Listen, this grain and grass is the foundation of the life of the fathers and elders in my city, and it must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the enemy. Liu Yong roared and rushed out of the city first.
There was a shout, followed by a gush of people.
"Your Majesty walks slowly." In the crowd, a voice suddenly sounded.
A black-covered horse galloped over and blocked Liu Yong's side.
The person who came was the elder brother of Empress Zhang, General Zuo Zhang Shao.
There was a dark golden spear in front of Zhang Shao's horse, and even the spear cherry in front of him was black, and the whole person looked like a dark cloud close to the ground.
"What did General Zhang teach me?" Liu Yong asked.
"The enemy camp is still more than 30 miles away from me, how can you know that my grain and grass have entered the city? It can be seen that someone has already informed Deng Ai in advance that this person is scheming and treacherous, and His Majesty should not enter lightly to prevent the enemy from cheating. Zhang Shao said.
Liu Yong sneered.
"General Zhang is my famous general of Shu Han, but when he is about to fight, he is so cowering, isn't he ashamed of his ancestors?" Liu Yong was anxious, and he didn't have time to think about Zhang Shao's words, and before the words fell, he had already urged the war horse to chase after the torch.
Zhang Shao wanted to say something, but Liu Yong couldn't hear it.
The samurai and all the military schools behind him swarmed in, and the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing was mixed, like the muffled thunder just now, rolling forward on the ground.
The torches were getting closer and closer, and Liu Yong could already hear the sound of the wooden wheels crushing the ground.
Suddenly, a shocking drum sounded, countless torches flashed on both sides of the road, and two rows of archers of Cao Wei's army rushed out of the dense forest first, kneeling on one leg and raising their bows and arrows.
With a sound of percussion, dense feather arrows pierced the hazy light and poured down towards the top of the Shu army's head.
"The enemy army has an ambush to protect Your Majesty." One of the guards who followed Liu Yong raised his shield and blocked Liu Yong's front.
In an instant, more than a dozen shields formed a protective wall of life in front of and behind Liu Yong's body.
Arrows rained down.
The screams of the Shu army after being hit by the arrow came and went.
Liu Yong's war horse raised its front hooves in the middle of the shield, and the halberd in his hand flashed a cold light in the firelight.
Fortunately, the enemy had few arrows, and after a volley, the archers dodged to the sides, and a dozen large round bales of grass that had been lit rolled in with logs.
The horses of several samurai were frightened in the flames, neighing and galloping.
The shield bearers around Liu Yong had already killed and wounded several people, and the remaining soldiers gathered around Liu Yong, facing the enemy troops coming from all sides, with a panicked face.
Liu Yong realized the danger.
The enemy forces advanced slowly.
Liu Yong's grim gaze slid across the faces of every soldier beside him.
"You are all my Shu Han warriors, at this critical moment, only by striving forward, can we win a way to live, and everyone will rush to kill with me!" Liu Yong let out a tiger roar, waved his halberd and went straight to Cao Wei's pawn in front.
"Your Majesty is here, what are we afraid of?"
"The great brave man in the world is as good as my Majesty Shu Han."
Everyone was infected by Liu Yong, and then rushed to kill.
In the firelight, all you saw was corpses and discarded weapons, as well as bleeding stumps.
Liu Yong's war horse didn't know who cut off the hooves, and knelt on the ground with a wail. Fortunately, Liu Yong was only wearing soft armor, which allowed him to get up from the ground with ease.
The heavy halberd was obviously not suitable for use on the ground, and Liu Yong threw it away and drew the long sword under his ribs.
There was only bright red blood in front of him, and the corpses of the enemy lying on their backs, and the blood stains on their faces were covered with a layer of fresh dirty blood before they had dried up.
For a moment, Liu Yong felt that he was no longer a living entity with autonomous consciousness, and his waving arms seemed to be controlled by a powerful external force, and he had already lost the ability to distinguish between friend and foe.
The soft armor on his body had been torn into several pieces, rising and falling as his body turned.
Tremble in the balance.
A black war horse leaped over the heads of many enemy soldiers and stopped in front of Liu Yong.
didn't have time to see the person who came, Liu Yong swung his sword and slashed it, but the person on the horse used a spear, and the long sword came out of his hand, and then, Liu Yong only felt that one arm was firmly grasped, and his body rose in the air and sat on the back of the horse.
"Your Majesty leave quickly, and Weichen will escort you." A voice rang in my ears.
With a crisp whip, the black war horse rose up again, and ran in the direction of the road from which it came.
