Chapter 42: The Belonging of Heroes (3)
Chapter 42: The Ownership of Heroes (3)
The night was cloudy, the clouds covered the moon, and the sky was black and boundless.
Di Qiuran led everyone all the way to hurry, and the armor rubbed and made a clanging sound, which made people look particularly panicked in this empty grassland!
"General be careful, there is someone ahead!"
The person who reminded her was Chenxiang, and even on the dark grassland, she could sense the situation within hundreds of zhang.
Sure enough, a little fire flickered in the distance, and it was approaching here.
"Lurkingβ"
Di Qiuran gave an order, and all the soldiers fell to the ground and waited.
......
The horse's hooves in front of him were clanging, and they were pressed black. Di Qiuran gradually saw the clothes of the people who came, bronze sharp corners, cloth and cotton jackets, and a big "Ming" word embroidered on the chest, which was extremely conspicuous.
"Okay! it's my own people!" Di Qiuran got up and ran forward happily.
When the leader saw that it was Di Qiuran and the others, he immediately got off his horse and greeted him.
"General of the Left Wing Army, Fang Xin visited the general, and just now I saw the signal and came to answer. β
"Fang Xin's arrival is good, quickly bring me all the horses. β
"Order!"
Fang Xin and the others were the three hundred reinforcements arranged here by Di Qiuran, at this time, there were only about twenty people on Di Qiuran's side, and the horses should be enough.
"Dusty Girl, Fu Daxia, Yan Woman, please get on the horse and ......"
"Wait!" Seeing that Yue Fan hadn't come back yet, Chenxiang couldn't let go, so he said, "General, you go first, I'll stay to pick up Brother Li." Just leave me a horse. β
Fu Shuai hurriedly said: "No, no, no, how can you let a girl's family stay? β
"No, I'm going to stay with you and let them go first. Yan Yueshi's eyes were red, and she refused to leave alone.
Thinking of Yue Fan's safety, Di Qiuran said without hesitation: "Don't fight anymore, everyone, protecting the safety of Mr. is a matter within Di's responsibility, and you can't let your friends take risks." Then he turned his head and said, "Fang Xin, I order you to bring a team of elite soldiers to pick up Mr. Li, and be sure to protect Mr. Li's safe return." β
"Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden "rumbling" sound on the ground!
The sound of horses' hooves in the rear was loud, and the formation was as big as a thousand armies attacking, and Di Qiuran and the others changed their complexion when they heard it.
Suddenly, a figure fell into the team, holding a butcher's knife, covered in blood, with a hideous expression, full of the appearance of killing a god.
"Who's coming?!"
Fang Xin was about to draw his knife, but Di Qiuran had already recognized that the person was Yue Fan, and hurriedly stopped: "Wait! It's Mr. Li, it's your own person." β
Fang Xin knew that he was reckless, so he said: "I don't know if it's Mr., I hope Mr. won't be surprised." β
Yue Fan nodded slightly, not caring.
Everyone gathered around, with happy smiles on their faces. Although I didn't see how Yue Fan killed the enemy, looking at the way he was now, I thought it would be very tragic to kill.
"Yue Fan, are you okay......" Chenxiang was overjoyed when she saw Yue Fan coming safely.
Fu Shuai ignored the blood stains on Yue Fan's body, hugged him, and said happily: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!"
Yan Yueshi also stretched her brows and smiled!
Yue Fan looked around at everyone, all of them were looking at him with concern, and his heart suddenly felt a burst of warmth.
But now is not the time to be lyrical, Yue Fan didn't have time to explain, and said in a solemn tone: "There are hundreds of light cavalry chasing after you in the rear, go quickly!"
"It's light cavalry! It's not good! everyone get on their horses......" Di Qiuran understood the seriousness of the matter, and no longer rambling, he directly put Prince Meng Dan on the horse, and then straddled the horse.
......
The shouting of "yelling-y-" got closer and closer, and the atmosphere became tense.
The Tatar warriors were brave and good at fighting, and they were even better at riding and shooting. After chasing for less than a while, hundreds of light horsemen caught up with Di Qiuran and the others.
"Kill it!"
Surrounded by the enemy, Di Qiuran made a desperate bet, taking the lead, and the soldiers behind him all followed him and charged into battle!
"Kill! Kill!"
"Rush!"
......
The Ming soldiers rushed forward, but the Tatar light cavalry deliberately avoided the frontal attack, using the "dragging" tactic, only disturbing and not attacking, just like Tai Chi in martial arts, cotton and powerless, so that people could not fight back.
"No! This is the previous troops, and the army is behind. β
Di Qiuran experienced a hundred battles, and soon realized the problem, these Tatar light horsemen were very fast, and they must have been delaying the pace of their own and others' progress when they were the first to arrive, and then waiting for tens of thousands of Tatar troops to arrive and form a large encirclement...... In this way, there is no hope of escape.
In the blink of an eye, Di Qiuran decisively decided: "Fang Xin, immediately change the 'arrow stab' formation, you take Mr. Li and them out first! I'll lure them away." With that, Di Qiuran threw Prince Meng Dan on his horseback to Yue Fan and handed him over the hostages.
"General, you go, I'll cut off ......"
"Shut up!" Di Qiuran interrupted Fang Xin and continued: "Fang Xin, you and Lao Tzu listen, this is an order! Mr. Li, they have important information to bring back to the border city, if they are injured in the slightest, you are not the soldiers led by my Di. β
Di Qiuran was not stupid, of course he knew how important he was to the army. That's why he chose to stay on his own. The most taboo person in Dolgon is Di Qiuran, only if he stays behind, can he delay a little time and give his soldiers a chance to live.
"General...... Fang Xin swears to complete the mission!" Fang Xin has followed Di Qiuran for many years, and has been saved by him several times on the battlefield, and has long regarded him as his elder, how can he watch him take risks? But the military order is like a mountain, the stakes are very high, and the consequences are not something that he can bear as a small general.
"Good, good, give me all the 'powder bombs'!"
"General......
"Don't fucking nonsense! Give it to Lao Tzu, or you will be punished for delaying the military plane!"
"Yes. β
"Di is here, whoever wants to take credit can come!"
Taking the "gunpowder bullet" and putting it in his arms, Di Qiuran didn't wait for his subordinates to speak, tightened the reins, turned around and ran towards the other side of the team.
Looking at the general's straight back and distant back, Fang Xinhu had tears in his eyes, biting his lip and splitting blood. This grief is not enough for outsiders at this moment!
......
"Catch him quickly, it's the Han general. β
Who doesn't know Di Qiuran and his people? Defending the Datong City Pass and killing countless Tatar warriors. The soldiers in the clan regarded him as a terrible ghost, and hated to gnaw at his bones and eat his flesh and blood!
The leading Tatar general was overjoyed when he saw that Di Qiuran was now alone, this was a good opportunity to make great contributions!
"Leave three teams of men and horses to hold them back, and the rest of the men will go with me. β
"Good!"
"Let's go, take the credit!haha~~"
"Roarβroarβ"
......
"Killβ"
Di Qiuran was forced to leave, and the blow to the other party's letter was not insignificant, anger burned his reason, and only venting could alleviate his pain. So, regardless of General Di's entrustment, he killed the enemy alone, and the soldiers behind him naturally followed.
There were only dozens of light horsemen left, and although everyone felt the pressure lessened, the speed of the other party's riding was far from being comparable to that of the Ming soldiers. Fang Xin tried his best to behead only one person under the horse, but the speed of the team's march was greatly delayed.
In the team, Yue Fan shook his head in disappointment when he saw this, but he didn't have the slightest sense of blame. Comparing his heart to his heart, he himself has also managed the baptism of emotion, so he can naturally understand Fang Xin's mood at this time. If you change to your old self, I'm afraid it's not much better.
"Chenxiang, you go first. Yue Fan carried Prince Mengdan, and Fu Shuai said, "Take a good look at him." β
"You...... Do you want to stay?!" Chenxiang looked at Yue Fan in surprise, her thoughts began to be a little messy, and even a little nervous and flustered.
Yue Fan glanced at Chenxiang with a complicated expression, then turned his head and said lightly: "Maybe I will come back alive." β
Fu Shuai and Yan Yueshi were shocked and spoke out to persuade each other.
"Yue Fan, let's go with you. β
"yes, maybe we can get General Di back. β
"We can't save people if we go together. Yue Fan shook his head and replied: "On the battlefield, the enemy is almost endless, but the martial arts are limited. In the face of the enemy of 10,000 people, the strength of an individual is small, and even if he has the power of the world, he cannot destroy it in one fell swoop. If you continue to consume like this, you will not be able to survive. β
Chenxiang understood, and said in a deep voice: "Doesn't that mean that General Di will definitely die if he goes here?"
"So to speak. Yue Fan nodded and said, "I know he will definitely not surrender." β
Yan Yueshi blurted out: "Then you didn't die in vain when you went?"
Fu Shuai and Yan Yueshi care about Yue Fan very much, not only because of Wan Yaer's relationship, but more importantly, they are friends.
"I have to go, even if it's just a body, I'm going to bring him back. I think he wants to go back to his country. "The same person is a person on the battlefield of life and death, Yue Fan can be regarded as knowing Di Qiuran's thoughts very well.
"......"
Everyone wanted to say something, but Yue Fan resolutely interrupted: "Time is running out, I have a sense of proportion." Dust Fragrance ...... Take care of yourselves, you guys. β
Yue Fan rarely said words of concern, but they could feel his sincerity and blessings.
For a moment, Chenxiang felt that she had lost something, and wanted to speak, but her mind went blank. When she woke up, there was one less person in front of her!
He's still gone!
......
In front of the team, Fang Xin was still running frantically with his soldiers to kill the enemy, but the light cavalry of the Tatar tribe was extremely dexterous, and on horseback, Fang Xin and the others could not take any advantage at all.
After some venting, Fang Xin gradually calmed down. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside him!
I saw a flash of cold light, and a thin mark appeared on the neck of the light cavalry on the opposite side.
"Poof-" The throat burst, and the blood gushed out, and the soldier slowly dropped from his horse and fell to the ground.
The war horse was neighing, and the cold murderous aura overwhelmed the people around him.
"Calm is needed on the battlefield! It is the guarantee of life. β
This was a sentence that Fang Xin heard in his ears, and he didn't even see Yue Fan's face clearly, the other party had already run towards the other party. That was the direction Di Qiuran had left.
Fang Xin is not a weak person, Yue Fan believes that he can handle the rest of the matter, so he walks calmly.
Looking at the tall figure in the distance, Fang Xin felt a stream of blood flowing in his heart, which was not an emotion that strength and wisdom could interpret. If there is one word to describe such a figure, Fang Xin can only think of four words - "standing up to the sky and the earth".
Standing in heaven and earth, his heart is unyielding, it is for men!
