Chapter 4: The Death of Incense and Jade (I)
After the saber hooked the Lone Ming Sword, Sticky Han snatched the sword away with a flip of his wrist. Others will be surprised to retreat first when they are robbed of weapons, but Luo Tianchu's reaction is extremely fast, he keenly found that after Mu Han grabbed the sword, his arm was raised, revealing the gap in his chest, the opportunity was only for a moment, if he didn't catch it, he would definitely die, so he didn't hesitate to retreat but advanced, and hit his chest with one palm. He had never practiced boxing and kicking, and Sticky Han had an iron armor to protect himself, although the damage was not big, but it still injured Sticky Han, and even took three steps back, and the Lone Ming Sword did not hold it, and fell to the ground.
Luo Tianchu quickly picked up the Lone Ming Sword, and stabbed reflexively, the sword qi was like a big river rushing, surging endlessly, wave after wave. He knew that Mu Han had suffered internal injuries, which was a good opportunity to avenge Dongguo's knife. Sticky Han suppressed the internal injuries and still fought with a saber, but now his momentum has declined, and it is difficult to fight back when he is pressed by Luo Tianchu's stormy attack. Seeing that the commander had the upper hand, the soldiers of the Blood Knife Fort were also in high spirits and fought even harder.
In the past, the Qi army's attack was smooth and all relied on surprise and Sticky Han's proper command, but now Sticky Han is unskilled, Han Chang is injured and difficult to fight, and the whole army has no leader, and the situation is immediately reversed. The strength of the imperial city was already twice that of the Qi army, but now it has regained its strength and immediately gained the upper hand.
Wanyan Sticky Han has profound skills, although he is injured, he will not be defeated, but he is already a little discouraged in his heart, and now the momentum of the two armies is rising, so it is likely to be annihilated by the Blood Sword Castle, and the only chance to win is to kill Luo Tianchu, but it is not easy to say. He has always been stubborn and resolute, and he will not give up lightly no matter how difficult things are, not to mention that this dispatch of troops is an important battle to regain power, and as long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, he will never admit defeat.
Luo Tianchu ordered the infantry to block the rear army of Qi soldiers, and the cavalry formed a square team to repeatedly charge the middle army, while the archers in the city fired arrows at the front army. The Qi army was even more defeated, and was beaten to the point of losing their armor, and many of them surrendered on their knees. Mu Han said angrily: "Don't you Han people know that dying on the battlefield is the highest honor for men! How can you bend your knees and surrender!" Luo Tianchu also said: "Destroy my homeland and kill your own compatriots!"
At this time, the torches were dazzling on the long street, and an army of 10,000 men rushed to the battlefield. The first two generals are Gu Yao and Yan Weifeng. Gu Yuanyuan shouted: "Don't worry, the castle master, I'm waiting." Sticky sighed and shouted, "Withdraw from the East Gate!" When he said the word "withdraw the army", his eyes flashed with tears, full of unwillingness and regret, and now the opportunity has passed, and his career has come to an end.
The Qi soldiers had no fighting spirit in the early days, and as soon as the order was given, they scattered and fled like a group of rats. Luo Tianchu shouted: "Old man, do you want to run!" Sticky Han Fei got on his horse and said in a deep voice: "The old man can't close the middle is all providence!
Gu Yao led the army to come and asked, "The Jin soldiers have retreated, can they chase after them?" Luo Tianchu saw the reinforcements running all the way, they were all tired and exhausted, and said: "I will take five hundred cavalry to chase, you quickly go to the city to fight the fire and help the people." The two of them received the order in unison, Gu Yao suddenly saw the head of Dongguo Wendao, and said in shock: "This! Could this be Dongguo brothers?" Luo Tianchu said gloomily: "Yes, this trip broke Brother Dongguo, and asked someone to stitch up his body and set up a mourning hall to mourn." "Said that Bafei had black lightning on his body, and led his troops to pursue Sticky Han.
The Qi soldiers were all infantry, and the slow ones were caught up before they left the city, and they were cut and chopped vegetables by Luo Tianchu's cavalry, killing more than 300 people, and the corpses were more than ten miles. A group of people appeared in front of him, and it was Mu Han who personally cut off the back. Luo Tianchu was not afraid, and shouted: "The old puppet is leaving!" Wanyan Sticky Han said in a deep voice: "Xiao'er is looking for death" His original big knife has been broken, and now he has come to fight with a new one. The two armies were once again fighting together. This time it's a horse kung fu, spear vs. steel knife. Luo Tianchu's marksmanship is far less clever than Sticky Han's knife skills, and his experience is even less so. However, Sticky Han suffered internal injuries and lost his strength, so the two of them were indistinguishable.
Sticky Han had no intention of fighting, and when he saw that the troops in front had already gone away, he shouted and led the army to retreat. Luo Tian saw that there was a deep mountain and old forest in front of him, and the cavalry pursued it to no avail, so he had to order to return, collecting loot along the way and transporting it back to Chang'an.
The sky was bright, and Chang'an City was busy, the fires in several houses were still not extinguished, and the corpses were lying across the street, converging into pools of blood. The people knew that the enemy army had retreated, and they came out to help the Blood Knife Fort put out the fire. Luo Tianchu rode his horse to the imperial city, and saw Cui Xing asking the soldiers to pile up the booty as high as a hill, and was registering it with the account book, and when he saw him, he said: "Thanks to the timely support of the castle lord, otherwise Chang'an would be in danger." Luo Tianchu's mood was a little low, and he said: "If it was really timely, I wouldn't let Jin Bing enter the city, and Brother Dongguo wouldn't die." Cui Xing sighed: "Everyone is very sad about the Dongguo brothers, and I also ask the lord of the castle to mourn by the way." ”
Luo Tianchu's eyes were red, and he coughed lightly twice, unwilling to let others see his fragile side, so he changed the topic and said, "How is the harvest this time." Cui Xing said: "It's not bad, 10,000 enemy troops were annihilated, 6,000 sets of armor and 4,000 weapons were captured." but there was no grain and grass and no horses. Luo Tianchu nodded and said, "How much we have lost." Cui Xing said: "Seven thousand dead, three thousand injured." blame his subordinates for their incompetence and failed to stop the enemy from attacking the city, so they lost the city. Luo Tianchu said: "It has nothing to do with Cui Taishou, it was my improper deployment, which led to only civilian officials and no generals in the city." If it weren't for Cui Taishou leading the troops to retreat into the imperial city in time and preserving his strength, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
Cui Xing said: "It's a blessing not to punish your subordinates, how dare you take credit." Luo Tianchu said: "It's too polite, by the way, where is the Gongsun military division now?" Cui Xing said: "Oh, the Qi soldiers came in too much hurry, and they forgot to take the military division to the imperial city." The military advisor is bedridden, and it would be a big sin to have a three-long and two-short Cui. Luo Tianchu said anxiously: "I went to visit the military advisor in person." ”
Luo Tianchu came to the Chang'an Yamen, he and Gongsun Mingyue lived in the guest room behind the Yamen, there were more than a dozen corpses of the soldiers of the Blood Knife Fort lying at the door, and there were also two in the main hall, which were the master and master here before his death. Luo Tianchu sank in his heart, walked quickly to the back garden, and saw a few corpses of maids on the ground, it seems that Qi soldiers have attacked here, could it be that the military division has been poisoned, he only felt that his chest was blocked, his heart rose to his throat, and he walked through the flower garden, came to the door of Gongsun Mingyue, and pushed the door in.
Just about to open his mouth to ask, he suddenly felt that the sword wind behind the door attacked, and the person who shot was not bad at martial arts, and he was by no means an ordinary soldier. Luo Tianchu flashed sideways, but who knew that the long sword was suddenly as soft as a ribbon, and changed direction with him. Luo Tianchu was surprised and delighted, he recognized who the owner of this soft sword was, and hurriedly shouted: "Xue'er is me!" The sneak attacker "Ah!" With a coquettish cry, he hurriedly put the sword back. Luo Tianchu turned around and looked, it was Ling Xue'er, and said with a smile: "Xue'er, I'm back." ”
Ling Xue'er was wearing a yellow robe, carrying a soft sword, and there were five or six corpses of Qi soldiers in the room, and Ling Xue'er's clothes were also stained with blood, and when she saw Luo Tianchu's eyes were red, she threw down the soft sword and threw herself into his arms, crying: "Why did you come back, I'm afraid of death." I heard that the Qi soldiers captured Chang'an, I thought I was going to die, and I will never see you again. Luo Tianchu stroked her hair and smiled: "Isn't this okay, I arrived at Tongguan two days ago, and I guessed that Sticky Han was going to come to the rescue." Ling Xue'er left his embrace and asked, "Have the Qi soldiers been repulsed?" Luo Tianchu nodded and said, "Yes, it's okay." Ling Xue'er burst into tears and smiled: "That's good, have you missed me after you left for so long?" Luo Tianchu sighed secretly and said gloomily: "Brother Dongguo, he ...... Killed by Sticky Han.
