Ji Tang

Chapter 868 Help!

On the waters of Hanhai Bay, there are hundreds of ships of different sizes stationed at this time. The Tang flag is flying high in the air, domineering and mighty!
This is the Tang Dynasty Navy fleet coming from Pingxiang. After receiving the order from the camp, Liu Rengui was left in Pingxiang to take charge, while Ji Qing and others led half of the navy's officers and the envoy from Yin. Here, I will wait for my husband to arrive, and then we will return to Dengzhou Port from here.

The weather today is good, seagulls are flying, big fish are out, and the sea breeze is blowing.

But in such good weather, a cry that could penetrate the sky sounded above the huge fleet!
Ji Qing and others, who were still having breakfast with everyone, stopped eating when they heard the sound, put down their rice bowls and ran outside.

This voice is too familiar. The voice of the taming falcon is still Ying Er who has always been by Mr.'s side.

"What can happen to sir's letter at this time? Is there an accident?"

Wang Xuance said in confusion.

Liu Xiancheng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Shut up, you have a crow's mouth!"

"you"

Wang Xuance was furious and wanted to talk to Liu Xiancheng.

"Shut up!"

Ji Qing glared at them and saw Ying Er falling down, then stepped forward to greet him.

Of course Ying Er knew them. He rubbed his neck against Ji Qing's legs and then lowered his head obediently so that he could take out the letter!

After touching its shiny feathers, Ji Song took off the bamboo tube and opened it immediately.

He was a little curious at first. He didn't know what else his husband had to explain.
But the moment he opened it, his whole body trembled!
"Quick, gather!"

He thought that his many years of experience had enabled him to remain calm when encountering things, but when he saw the words above, he still couldn't help but tremble!
There were only two scrawled words on it. The gentleman was so steady that he could write such words, which shows how anxious he was at that time!
"Help me!"

Only these two words, these two words made him pale with fear back then.

Wang Xuance and others were stunned for a moment, then immediately stepped forward and took the price note.

Not surprisingly, everyone turned pale after seeing these two words.

"What happened? Did you ask Mr. to write these two words?"

Wang Xuance was almost frightened to death, please help?Just what to drive?

"Go find Mr. Tang!"

Ji Qing took the letter and said calmly: "This matter is no longer something we juniors can handle. Everything will be decided by Duke Tang!"

Said to be the first to walk towards the cabin, the shout just now attracted everyone around him.Shen Zhen jumped over from other ships and grabbed Ji Qing.

"What happened?"

Ji Qing shook off his hand and said in a deep voice: "Something big has happened. I can't say what it is, but from now on, you will immediately summon all those who can fight and send out armor, swords, and crossbows, leaving a few people behind." Everyone outside the fleet, prepare to fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death?"

Shen Zhen murmured.

When is a fight to the death necessary?Do you think the front line was defeated?

He shook his head and immediately shook off this terrible thought.Impossible. How could the Tang Dynasty's 10,000+ army be defeated?

Your Majesty is marching in person, with countless generals at his side, and the Marquis is also by his side. How could he possibly be defeated?
"Stop thinking about it!"

Xue Li, who was close to Shen Zhen, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Hurry up and make arrangements. We won't have to wait long, and we may really have to fight to the death."

"I didn't expect that I would be home as soon as I opened the door, but I would have to fight for my life!"

He has no objection to rescuing His Majesty!
Based on the relationship between Mr. and Your Majesty, if something happens to His Majesty, Mr. will definitely not stand idly by at any cost, even at the expense of himself.

Therefore, saving His Majesty means saving Sir!
The husband did not give a long speech, nor did he try to persuade them sincerely, because he knew that they would not stand still.

Just like when they are at their most desperate, they will believe that their husband will definitely save them!
There are no unnecessary words, trust is sometimes that simple!
Hearing Xue Li's words, Shen Zhen turned pale. Even a mentally retarded person understood that this time the matter was serious, and the emperor could not tell.
He didn't dare to think about it anymore. If he thought about it any more, he was worried that he would not be able to help but run away!

Fighting to the death is not a simple battle. This is the highest military order in the army that will never stop until the goal is achieved.

Even if everyone dies, we must achieve our goal!

"I'm going to get ready!"

After saying that, he immediately jumped from the ship again and shouted while running: "Send the order to all ships and everyone to prepare to fight!"

"Listen, it's everyone! Even the damn sailors, the cooks, anyone who can pick up a knife, stand up for me!"

"Open the arsenal, weapons, armor, and crossbows, and bring them all out for me..."

Boom boom boom!
woo~
The moment the order was sent out, the entire fleet started to move. Everyone, soldiers, handymen, cooks, even doctors and craftsmen, as long as they could still move, moved!
This is the highest order in the navigation manual. With any order, everyone is ready to fight!
This kind of thing has been practiced more than once!
I thought we were already in the Tang Dynasty, so what could happen to you on your own territory?

But when the flag with Chinese characters on the flagship was raised, everyone fell silent.

The raising of the Tang flag means that the best commander of the entire naval fleet is no longer Ji Qing, but the Duke of Ju, Tang Jian, who has been hiding behind the scenes.

This is not a drill. No one needs to tell them, they already understand it!
Anyone who has returned from Yin in the past ten years understands that this is not just an act, but a real war.

A team leader who looked about thirty years old fell silent when he saw the Chinese flag rising.

"Everyone is ready to fight to the death!"

"Immediately receive armor, swords, crossbows, and dry food. Anyone who dares to neglect will be killed!"

Such orders can be seen everywhere on the ship. Although the original navy officers did not understand it very well, when their respective captains put on armor and came to fight in front of them, they were speechless.

Some complained, some were unwilling, and some even yelled!

However, the moment the order came, no matter how unwilling they were or howling loudly, everyone began to prepare!
They knew that this time the soldiers fought a hard battle, and it was very likely that they would never come back.

Some people with bright minds may have thought of something and feel extremely uneasy!

The emperor was not far away from them, but now he issued such an order?Could it be.
In the somewhat dim cabin, the gray-haired Tang Jian was sitting high.

Different from the past, after Ji Qing handed the letter to Tang Jian, Tang Jian quickly calmed down. Not only did he not seem to be panic at all, but he also walked back to the back slowly and changed into a duke's court uniform.

The hand holding the teacup was still so steady, as if nothing happened!
Ji Qing and others, who were still anxious at first, gradually calmed down under the influence of Tang Jian.

Ji Qing stepped forward and worshiped: "It's the boys who are confused. Thank you Tang Gong for your teaching!" The others also looked at each other and also stepped forward to worship!
Tang Jian couldn't help but have a look of envy in his eyes. He was jealous that Ji Song could have such outstanding disciples, and he also envied his luck.

With these people in the Ji family's century-old inheritance, it is considered stable.

Then he thought of his children. Except for the eldest son, who was pretty good, the others were also defenders of the city. It would be good if they could keep the remaining Yu Ze he had left behind.

"Can you calm down now?"

Tang Jian is still so stable, as if he doesn't know what's going on!
Ji Qing smiled bitterly and nodded, then shook his head!

"It's quiet even if you say it's quiet, but it's not quiet either, but at least it's not as chaotic as before."

Tang Jian put down the tea cup in his hand and said: "If nothing else, something should happen to His Majesty, but no matter how urgent we are, we can't be anxious!"

"Because it is very likely that we are the only army that can rescue His Majesty in the end. Once we are in a hurry, if something goes wrong, we will die without mercy!"

"Send the order down!"

"Ji Qing, Liu Xiancheng, Wang Xuance, Xue Li, Shen Zhen, each of you will lead 3000 people and set out immediately to rescue His Majesty."

Several people heard the sound and stood up and shouted: "No!"

"The naval fleet must not cause any trouble. Once things go wrong, the naval fleet is our only escape route!"

"When I get old, I won't be a burden to you anymore. Everything is left to you. It's up to you to decide how to fight and when to fight!"

He stood up and carefully arranged the clothes for several people. His movements were neither hasty nor slow, as if even the sky falling could not move him!
"Remember, what you do now may affect the direction of the entire Tang Dynasty. Think everything through and make a decision early. Don't let yourself regret it, and don't let everyone down!"

"Go!"

Tang Jian waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, your husband and more than [-] soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are waiting for you!"

Ji Qing stepped forward and cupped his hands: "I will not let Mr. Tang down!"

"go!"

After saying that, he took a few people and left.

"and many more!"

Ji Qing turned around, and Tang Jian's lips were trembling at this moment. Thousands of words turned into just one sentence!

"Come back alive!"

Ji Song and others bowed deeply to Tang Jian and left without looking back.
After Ji Qing, Liu Xiancheng, Wang Xuance, Xue Li, and Shen Zhen were fully prepared, they directly took the boat upstream from the Liao River and headed towards the emperor as quickly as possible!

Fifteen thousand people, this is the maximum force they can produce.

Tang Jian was right, the navy fleet must not avoid trouble. Once things change, they must fight tooth and nail to rescue His Majesty, and the fleet is the most reliable way to escape.

If something happens to the fleet, they will have no chance of escaping.

Fortunately, the Liaohe River has not frozen yet, but it will not be long before the party here is covered with ice and snow, and by then it will be completely late.

Based on the traveling speed of an army of more than [-] people, they are not far away from the fleet. Moreover, they can arrive in less than a day if they take a boat.

It is already evening now, and we will basically be able to get in front of the emperor by tomorrow morning.

When the time comes to suddenly appear on the battlefield, the opponent will definitely be caught off guard!
In fact, this is the reason why Ji Song ignored Ji Qing and others' comfort and asked them to rescue him, because he himself couldn't catch up.

Leading the army to advance rapidly is just a matter of doing everything possible and obeying fate.

Now he only hopes that Ji Qing and others will arrive in time to buy him some time.

It wasn't that he was arrogant. Even if he couldn't save the army, it wouldn't be a big problem to lead Li Shimin out of the siege and escape.

But this is the worst outcome. Yeon Gaesomun only has about 6 people. After fighting against an army of more than [-] people, how many people can be left?

Even if the Tang army is caught off guard, it is impossible to annihilate them all!

Just when Ji Qing and others rushed to the rescue, not only fifty miles away from the Liaohe River, the fire was soaring into the sky, and the cold sky could not stop the two armies from shouting to kill!
Corpses littered the fields, including those of the Goguryeo people and those of the Tang army. Countless corpses lay on the ground, already frozen stiff by the cold weather!
Li Shimin was sitting on the snow on a hill no more than thirty feet high in Zhong County, where the battlefield was.

His hair was disheveled, and his body was covered with blood. The blood on his sword had frozen into ice cubes, and his hands were covered with frostbite!
Yu Chigong was like a demon from hell, guarding Li Shimin. He stood upright, as if nothing could hit him.

Du Ruhui was shivering from the cold, his face was ashen, and he was holding a bloody long sword in his hand. It looked like he had killed someone.

Changsun Wuji was not far behind Li Shimin, using his body to block the wind and snow for him!

The sun has set, but the shouts of death from the bottom of the mountain never stop!

People kept falling and people kept dying.

The Tang army and the Goguryeo people are all making their final struggle!

That's horrible!
Seeing that they were about to reach the Liaohe River, Li Shimin hoped to reach the Liaohe River before dark, so he urged the army to advance at full speed!
But who could have imagined that just when they came from the mountains, they would be hit hard. Countless rocks fell from the sky. Not only did they cut the army in half within a quarter of an hour, but the nearly [-] troops were trapped in the mountain road and were unable to move forward!

But Li Shimin and others who had just come out of the mountain road were besieged by [-] to [-] Goguryeo troops. Without any preparation, they were killed by the Goguryeo people and retreated in an instant!

Even if Li Shimin, the emperor with a body of ten thousand gold, was almost surrounded and killed, if Yu Chigong hadn't been guarding him, he might have been captured alive.

This is the most dangerous time in Li Shimin's life. Even the Weishui Alliance back then was not as dangerous as it is today!
He was almost, just almost, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was called the Khan of Heaven by all nations, was captured.

What a shame, what a real shame!
Now besieged on a hill, the soldiers in the mountain road are not only blocked by rocks, but also blocked by a large army!

The mountain road is narrow, and even the Tang army with [-] troops is useless.

The more than 1 troops that came out suffered heavy losses due to the resistance of the Goguryeo people, and now their number is less than [-].

In a short period of time, the Tang army lost more than [-] people. Such heavy losses made even the emperor Li Shimin feel heartbroken!

These are the elites of the Tang Dynasty. If the ordnance and supplies could not be replenished in time, how could there be such a loss?
"Your Majesty, we can't wait any longer, we must break out immediately!"

"Since the enemy has not completely surrounded us yet, we will head south immediately. There is Datang's naval fleet there. As long as you get on the ship, I will be completely safe."

Li Shimin stopped Changsun Wuji's words with his hands, and looked at the soldiers below who were still fighting bloody battles. He really had no face to accept Changsun Wuji's proposal!
go?
Ha ha!

So what if I go back?
He laughed miserably, shook his head and said, "I won't leave, even if I die in battle. I have Cheng Qian in the court, so I have nothing to worry about."
