The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 571
And the knife sang in the box last night, Yanzhao's tragic song is the most injustice;

Yishui is murmuring, clouds and grass are green, and there is nowhere to send Jing Qing off!
——"Crossing Yishui" Chen Zilong (Ming Dynasty)

……

After Shi Siming took Bianzhou without bloodshed, the war was imminent.

The sky over Luoyang was filled with battle clouds.

Several Tang Army scout teams were attacked by rebel cavalry. In view of this, Liu Yidao, the brigade commander of the scout battalion, once again sent the Lone Eagle Squad to the front line for investigation.

On this day, the Lone Eagle Squad was ordered to investigate the enemy's situation in the area of ​​Zhengzhou, and gradually approached the vanguard of the rebel army.

The war is imminent, and this area is ruined, hundreds of miles away, and there is no one inhabited.

Everyone was on high alert, and suddenly saw a road of dust and smoke in the distance.

The eagle eye was sharp, and when he took a closer look, he saw a cavalry fleeing in a hurry, and a hundred paces behind, a dozen or so rebel Hu cavalry yelled loudly and came chasing after him.

The lone eagle scouts glanced at each other, roared up, and after a rain of arrows, shot more than a dozen barbarian cavalry off their horses.

Seeing Tang Bing being rescued, the hunted man felt relieved, fell off the horse, fell to the ground, and passed out.

The person being hunted down was covered in blood and had several arrows in his body, and he survived only because the arrow wounds were not in the vital parts.

This person is dressed as a commoner, but rides a rebel horse, which is very suspicious.

Bai Fu hurriedly stopped the bleeding and healed his wounds, applied Jinchuang medicine, and after a simple bandage, he woke up slowly.

After recovering, this person briefly introduced the whole story.

It turned out that this man was named Tian Hoe, who had escaped from Bianzhou and was a soldier of the Tang army general Tian Shengong.

The general of Bianzhou, Xu Shuji, surrendered from the city.The bandits are powerful, so Tian Shengong pretends to surrender to Shi Siming, but in fact his heart is attached to Datang.

Tian Shengong learned the detailed situation of the rebels through several pre-war meetings of the rebels, and then drew a detailed map of the strategic intentions and deployment of the rebels.

Because the Tang Army's Gexin post station in Bianzhou was destroyed by the rebels, it was impossible to pass the letter through the pigeon letter.Tian Shengong ordered his confidant Tian Hoe to disguise himself, and secretly handed over the map to Li Guangbi, the commander of the Shuofang Army.

Unexpectedly, Tian Hoe was spotted by a group of rebel scouts when he crossed the blockade line of the rebels in Zhengzhou.The field hoe dashed left and right, slashing forward and backward, killing and wounding many rebel cavalry, blood staining their shirts.

While the field hoe was slashing with his knife, a noose flew from behind unexpectedly, and it just wrapped around his upper body.General Hu yanked the field hoe off the horse and tied it up immediately.

Rebel scouts found the map during a search.

Seeing this, the rebel scouts knew that Tian Hoe was not an ordinary deserter from the Tang army, so he would be rewarded if he escorted him back to the camp.So instead of killing him, he bandaged his wound.

Tian hoe lost a lot of blood and was seriously injured. The rebel scouts did not tie him up, but got a stretcher and set it up between the two horses, put the field hoe on the stretcher, and let the two horses carry him slowly.

On both sides of the field hoe, there were only a few rebel cavalry.They didn't even look at the field hoe, because they didn't believe that this man, who was dying of serious injuries, could escape.

Tian Hoe gradually regained some strength, secretly observing the rebel cavalry, waiting for the best time to escape.

Marching after the fierce battle, the rebel scouts also felt exhausted, and the cavalry guarding the field hoes also gradually showed fatigue, dozed off, and their bodies on horseback swayed.

If you don't escape at this time, when will you wait!

Tian Hoe didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly jumped up from the stretcher, and rushed towards the rebel cavalry beside him.The other party was dozing off, and before he had time to react, he was pushed off the horse heavily by the field hoe.

Tian Hoe snatched the bow and arrow from the rebel scout, whipped his horse, and rushed away.

Tian hoe galloped wildly all the way, and the rebel cavalry chased hard. Because of Tian hoe's excellent archery skills, the rebel cavalry did not dare to get too close.

Arrows flew back and forth between the two sides. Although Tian Hoe killed several people, he was also hit by several arrows and walked on the verge of collapse until he was rescued by the Lone Eagle Scout.

"Where's the map?"

Xiucai put the knife on the neck of the captured rebel.This General Hu looked arrogant and would rather die than answer.

Bai Furen didn't do much hard work, and when he stepped forward, a stern look flashed across his eyes.

Without further ado, Bai Fu took out a silver needle and stuck it on Hu Jiang's acupuncture point.Hu Jiang suddenly felt that his whole body was being bitten by thousands of ants, and it was extremely painful. He writhed and rolled on the ground, screaming again and again.

Bai Fu was tortured in the sky prison back then, and the methods of torture used were not something ordinary people could bear.

In less than a stick of incense, General Hu couldn't take it anymore, and babbled a lot of Turkic words.Only then did Bai Fu stop.

The lone wolf said to Bai Fu: "After Tian Hoe escaped, they divided into two groups, chasing Tian Hoe and escorting the map back to the camp."

Tian Hoe wept and said: "Generals, this map is not only extremely precious, but also related to the life of my general. I implore you to take it back!"

Before everyone answered, Hawkeye had released Haidongqing to investigate.

Haidongqing fluttered its wings, circled several times, and was already at a height of hundreds of feet.Falcons circling, singing from time to time, changing different flying postures.

Looking at the Falcon for a moment, Hawkeye said: "There is only one rebel cavalry team in the range of tens of miles ahead, about seven or eight people. It is probably the rebel scout that Tian Hoe mentioned.

They are more than ten miles away from us, and they are driving slowly, so they should be able to catch up. "

Everyone was overjoyed and shouted: "Then charge over there and grab the map back."

Bai Fu saw that Hawkeye's face was serious, and he seemed to have something to say, so he said, "Hawkeye, are there any enemies nearby?"

Hawkeye nodded and said, "The rebel vanguard battalion of two thousand cavalry is thirty miles away from us, and they are also slowly moving in this direction.

If we are fast, we can grab the map back in front of the rebel vanguard battalion; but if they also attack with the whole army, we will just run into them head-on! "

Everyone looked at each other.

At this time, the Lone Eagle Scout was hundreds of miles away from the Tang army's camp, and there were no other reinforcements around.

Although the Lone Eagle scouts are all highly skilled in martial arts, the strength of the opponent's thousands of cavalry is very different.

Stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice.If you move forward rashly, once you encounter a large group of rebel cavalry, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

Everyone was silent, thinking about how to deal with the enemy.

Bai Fu had no expression on his face, his mind was running at high speed.

Whether to withdraw or rush, we must make up our minds in the shortest possible time.And this decision will be related to the life of every comrade in arms.

Bai Fu pondered for a moment, a fire ignited in his eyes.

Bai Fu said decisively: "Seven or eight rebel scouts, I can handle it by myself. You take the field hoes and the prisoners and go first."

Hawkeye said proudly: "Little Bailong, you don't know the art of tracking, so I can follow you to find these scouts."

The lone wolf crossed his arms and said coldly: "How can I lose my share in the fight. My red charcoal fire dragon horse is one of the best horses in ten thousand. I promise to take back the map before the rebel vanguard battalion."

Tian Hoe stroked his chest with his right hand, with a tragic expression, he said: "Tian is not talented, I am willing to die with all the generals!"

Luo Tuo'er got anxious, scratched his head and said, "No, no, I can't be absent from such a lively event."

The scholar put away the folding fan and said with a smile: "Little Bailong, whether it's Longtan or Tiger's Den, let's go together!

In the Battle of Beiku, Luo Tuoer and I were guarding Eagle Fort. We failed to fight, and we have been brooding about it all the time. This time we can't let it go. "

Bai Fu knew that everyone was just an excuse, and it was definitely not the Lone Eagle Scout who made his comrades risk their lives.

Know heroes, value heroes!
Bai Fu didn't hesitate, nodded, and said simply and neatly: "Since that's the case, don't talk nonsense, let's set off immediately!"
