Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 45

Zhang Jai had doubts about Chun Yuqiong for a long time, and now Chun Yuqiong did this to verify Zhang Jai's conjecture. In the current situation, he should stay in the camp. Chun Yuqiong actually wanted to lead His Majesty to break through, and there were only 3000 people. Isn't this asking the emperor to die?
Zhang Zhe didn't have time to explain to Dian Wei, so he had to order: "Hurry up and assemble the Xiaoqi Battalion, General Dian Wei, you lead the people here to resist the bandit army, and I will lead the army to chase your majesty back." Dian Wei also felt the seriousness of the matter. Xing, nodded quickly and said: "Hurry up, I will guard the camp."

Zhang Jai nodded without talking nonsense, and immediately led the assembled [-] cavalry in pursuit of the emperor's breakthrough.

Zhang Jai chased ten miles to the east and still failed to catch up with the emperor's car. What's worse, the clues were all messed up. There were traces of passing troops in every direction. Zhang Jai didn't know where to go after him. .

As a last resort, Zhang Jai had no choice but to order his cavalry to divide into three groups and chase out in three directions. Once they catch up with His Majesty's team, don't act rashly, just send a signal.Then the army chased in three directions.

After chasing another fifteen miles away, Zhang Jai still failed to catch up with Emperor Han Ling's team. Now Zhang Jai faintly felt that he was chasing at the wrong place. When Zhang Jai was annoyed, the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion in the south sent a signal. Jaw immediately led his men to the south to pursue.This Chunyuqiong was quite cunning, he played tricks like this, Zhang Jaw was so annoyed that he wanted to stab Chunyuqiong to death.

Not long after, Zhang Jai and another part of the cavalry from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion joined forces and chased southward. Zhang Jai heard the sound of fighting when he was [-] miles away. I can't tell if it's an enemy or a friend.

However, from a distance, Zhang Jaw still saw the emperor's car.It’s impossible not to see it, and I don’t know what’s going on in Emperor Han Ling’s mind. When he was so dangerous, he even showed his car with great fanfare. One piece is illuminated transparently.

The soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion who had just sent the signal rushed out to fight without waiting for Zhang Jaw and the others to come to lead them.After understanding the situation, Zhang Jai ordered the soldiers under his command to form a team of a hundred people, and the two sides surrounding the fight shouted loudly that the reinforcements from the officers and soldiers had arrived, and they could shoot anyone who was not dressed as the officers and soldiers.

The cavalry was dispatched soon, because the bandit generals had been fighting with the officers and soldiers for a long time, and because the bandits were outnumbered, and the night could not tell how many officers and soldiers there were in total, and coupled with the flickering of Zhang Jaw, the bandits The general of the army really thought that the reinforcements from the army had arrived, so he had to lead his troops back.

After Zhang Jai scared away the enemy army, he immediately found the place where the emperor was driving. Before he got close, he heard Chunyu Qiong still urging the emperor to break out of the siege. When Zhang Jai heard this voice, his anger became even bigger. Thinking about it, I was working hard in front. , It’s fine if you can’t help, but you are always dragging your feet behind me. If you don’t get angry again, I’m afraid I don’t need to be the captain of the Xiaoqi Battalion.

Zhang Jai immediately rushed up to persuade him: "Your Majesty, don't listen to this man's nonsense. The safest place now is the big camp. There is enough food, grass and military equipment in the big camp. General Dian Wei has repelled the enemy. As long as we return to the big camp to defend the tenth God, reinforcements will arrive naturally, I have already analyzed that this attack should be the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, as long as we defend the camp, we will definitely be able to defeat the bandits."

When Chunyuqiong heard that this young man was here to tear her down, she immediately drew out her sword, pointed at Zhang Jaw and roared, "What is your intention to drag His Majesty back into the pit of fire, don't you want to be a rebel?"

Emperor Han Ling was confused by the quarrel between the two, and now he doesn't know what to do. He must continue to break through. Emperor Han Ling really doesn't have the guts. What to do.

Just when Han Lingdi was conflicted in his heart, Zhang Jaw slowly stood up and stared at Chunyuqiong and said: "The villain will sue first, Chunyuqiong, you are so brave, even if you break through, you should lead the most elite soldiers to protect His Majesty, and you should be more careful." The plan was right, but you actually disregarded His Majesty's comfort and dispatched troops without permission. If you don't speak clearly today, you won't be able to leave here alive."

Chunyu Qiong was intimidated by Zhang Jaw's words for a while, and the original arrogance disappeared. In this situation, Chunyu Qiong knew that he had no way to turn back, so he simply did nothing, killed Zhang Jaw, and looked at it. Who dares to oppose himself.

As soon as he said it, Chunyu Qiong stabbed out with a sword, and was about to kill Zhang Jaw, but he didn't want a long spear to pierce through his armor and stab himself to death.

"What a fast gun." This was Chunyuqiong's last thought.

It turned out that Zhang Jai was ready to fight Chunyu Qiong when he stood up, but Chun Yuqiong hesitated too much, Zhang Jai seized the opportunity and shot him.

Zhang Jai's shot came too fast, not only Chunyu Qiong didn't react, Han Lingdi was also in a daze and hadn't figured out the situation, Chunyu Qiong's more than a dozen soldiers immediately drew out their sabers to Zhang after seeing their lord fell down. Jaw rushed forward, Zhang Jai was not afraid, and regardless of Emperor Han Ling being around, he decisively abandoned his gun and drew his sword to fight with these dozen people.

The person in the front slashed with a knife, and Zhang Jaw instinctively raised his sword to block it. At this time, the second soldier suddenly came out from behind the first soldier. Before the person arrived, the knife stabbed out from the armpit of the former. The move was coordinated quite cleverly, using the sight of the person in front of Zhang Jaw, and because of the darkness, it was difficult for Zhang Jaw to spot.

Just when the knife was about to hit Zhang Jai, Zhang Jai stepped forward with his left hand and grabbed No. 1 soldier's wrist, pulling him forward. Turn around, dodging the knife stabbed by the No.2 soldier.

But the No. 1 soldier saw that Zhang Jai used himself as a shield to block the attack of his teammates, and even threw away the long sword in his hand and just hugged Zhang Jaw. Now Zhang Jaw feels that he is too big, and he should hide in It is right to be under the protection of your own soldiers.

The fighting skills of Chunyuqiong's personal soldiers are not at all the fighting style of veterans on the battlefield, but more like dead soldiers trained by aristocratic families. Sure enough, the remaining personal soldiers seized the opportunity to slash at the trapped Zhang Jaw. If he really cut it off, not only would he die with his jaw open, but the soldier who was hugging him would also be chopped into several pieces.

In the midst of a crisis, Zhang Jai let out an angry roar, and then bent forward, using the strength and distance generated by the bending, to throw up the guard who was hugging him, although the guard was still lying on Zhang Jaw's back, but Both feet are off the ground.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jai did not forcefully break away from the opponent, but crawled down the ground rascally. The soldier crawled on Zhang Jaw's back and fell to the ground with Zhang Jaw, making Zhang Jaw groan.All of this happened in a blink of an eye. It seemed complicated, but in fact, the cooperation of these dozen people was quite ingenious, but they almost killed Zhang Jaw twice in a blink of an eye.

However, they only had these two chances to make calls. Zhang Jai's soldiers immediately surrounded him after reacting. Seeing that Zhang Jai was about to be slashed, several of them threw their spears. Fortunately, Zhang Jai lay on the ground. Dodging the dozens of knives that were cut out, and Zhang Jai's personal soldiers shot and killed several enemies in time, buying time for Zhang Jai to escape.

The rest of the enemy still wanted to attack, but was rushed by Zhang Jai's soldiers and pierced his body. After Zhang Jai collapsed and hugged his enemy, his own soldiers immediately stabbed the dead man with a single shot. Shouted: "Keep alive."

Several of his own soldiers immediately pierced the dead man's limbs with spears, but the dead man was also fierce and wanted to go forward to kill Zhang Jaw, but Zhang Jaw's personal soldiers pinned him to the ground.

Zhang Ja stood up and immediately punched the dead man in the face, but it was too late, before Zhang Ja's fist arrived, the corner of the dead man's mouth was already bleeding black blood, obviously he committed suicide by taking poison.Zhang Jai yelled inwardly that it was a pity that he turned his head to look at the other dead men, who were either killed or committed suicide by taking poison, not a single one was left alive.

After killing Chunyuqiong and disposing of his personal soldiers, he opened his jaw and asked Hanling Emperor: "Your Majesty, Chunyuqiong conspired with the bandit army and has been killed by the minister. Please return to the camp, and I will serve as the guards." Your Majesty is considerate."

Han Lingdi was also frightened now, this jaw was young, but he was not lenient in killing people, he dared to kill people in front of him, I am afraid that if he said he would not go, he would take him back.

But Zhang Jaw didn't mean anything malicious, he really wanted to protect himself, and Chun Yuqiong did have a problem, how could he be caught up by the enemy just after he escaped from the camp.Emperor Han Ling had no choice but to agree to return to the camp.

The crowd walked back less than ten miles, and the scouting horses in front sent back the news that there was an unknown army five miles ahead. Emperor Han Ling was frightened by the news and hid back in the car. Zhang Jaw immediately organized soldiers to defend. The remaining [-] infantry placed their spears in the center, waiting for the enemy to approach.

After a while, he saw an army in front of him holding torches in formation and approaching Zhang Jai's army with neat steps. Zhang Jai was startled. Hearing the voice, the number of people was [-]. The tight formation is definitely an elite division.

"Could it be that I'm going to be ruined here today?" Zhang Jaw thought in his heart, and then looked back at Emperor Han Ling's car: "There is no way, we can't leave the emperor here, or the Lord will be hurt, and the worst is to die. .”

After thinking about it, Zhang Jai immediately shouted: "Fight to the death, don't retreat." The four thousand cavalrymen under Zhang Jai also shouted: "Fight to the death, don't retreat."

The other party stopped immediately when they heard this voice, and then, the other party roared: "The front jaw is open, if you don't answer within three breaths, I will shoot all the arrows and shoot you and other hedgehogs." Dian Wei, Zhang Jai immediately responded: "It's me, Dian Wei, Your Majesty is here, don't mess around."

It turned out that after Dian Wei wiped out the remnants of the camp, he left [-] troops from the headquarters and a deputy general to guard the camp. He brought [-] subordinates and [-] officers and soldiers with bows and arrows and chased them out. Thought it was the enemy again.He was about to shoot and kill the opponent, but he heard the slogan of fighting to the death and never retreating. Presumably, he opened his jaws, so there was that roar.

Dian Wei went forward to salute Emperor Han Ling, and then arranged for his subordinates to surround Emperor Han Ling's car, and then returned to Daying.Zhang Jaw explained to him on the way that Chunyu Qiong might have colluded with rebellion, and Dian Wei suddenly became enlightened and understood what was going on.

Back at the camp, Emperor Ling of Han immediately summoned Dian Wei and Zhang Jai and asked, "Ai Qing, I am very frightened tonight. I don't know who the rebels are, why they attacked us, and whether they have been repelled. What should we do tomorrow? Can I go back to Luoyang?"

Dian Wei and Zhang Jai glanced at each other, seeing a trace of ridicule and disappointment in each other's eyes.

Zhang Jaw had no choice but to go forward and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, as far as I know, it is very likely that the Baibo army who attacked us this time was fleeing in the Hedong and Bingzhou areas. The Baibo army was originally a remnant of the Yellow Turban. Not surprisingly.

Every time the Yellow Turban Army fights, they will engulf the people, and the same is true for the Baibo Army. I am afraid that there are hundreds of thousands of Baibo Army ambushing around. At the time of the chaos, they sent messengers to Luoyang, Bingzhou and Youzhou to ask for help.

Bingzhou is the closest to here, and reinforcements should arrive within two days. If Luoyang moves fast enough, they should be able to arrive within three days.Youzhou is five hundred miles away from here, and the army of General Hussars is stationed in the grassland, which is 1000 or two hundred miles away. If Governor Gongsun sends reinforcements from Youzhou, it may take five days.

After all, it would take a lot of time for the messenger to run over.But please rest assured, Your Majesty, there are still [-] soldiers in my camp, and the rest of the military equipment and food are sufficient, so it is absolutely no problem to hold the camp for ten days. "

After hearing this, Emperor Han Ling felt a little comforted, as long as the reinforcements arrived, the rebels could be defeated, and Emperor Han Ling looked forward to the early arrival of reinforcements in his heart.

At this time, Zhang Rang beside him interrupted and asked: "Why did General Zhang Jaw take advantage of the chaos to send a messenger for help? Isn't it better tomorrow morning? What if the messenger goes in the wrong direction at night?"

After hearing this, Emperor Han Ling nodded and asked: "Yes, Ai Qing, we are already on the grassland now, and it is easy for a few messengers to get lost. If they go in the wrong direction, wouldn't it be a big mistake?" , you just said that Youzhou is too far away, and Gongsun Xu's army is stationed on the prairie, which is more than [-] miles away. At present, we can only look forward to the reinforcements from Bingzhou and Luoyang, and we can't make mistakes ah."

After Zhang Jai heard this, he immediately explained: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the rebel army may have trapped all our escape routes this time. If we wait until tomorrow daytime to send messengers, we will all be caught. Both the enemy and us are in chaos tonight." , our courier has the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Moreover, I sent three batches of messengers in each direction for help, and I even sent my own soldiers to ask for help from General Hussars. I believe that as long as Generals Hussars receives our news, he will definitely arrive in the shortest possible time. , Your Majesty need not panic, Bingzhou Inspector Ding Yuan is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, I believe that reinforcements will be dispatched soon, as long as the reinforcements from the three parties arrive, His Majesty can return to Luoyang safely. "

Emperor Han Ling and Zhang Rang both nodded in agreement after hearing this, and Zhang Rang also cooperated in persuading Emperor Han Ling to go to bed early.

After Zhang Ja and Dian Wei walked out of the big tent, Zhang Ja sighed, "We don't know how many enemy troops there are yet, and we don't know if the lord can rescue them in time."

Dian Wei patted him on the shoulder and said: "I don't care how many people he has, I'll kill as many as he comes, don't worry, besides, I trust my lord, maybe reinforcements will arrive in two or three days."

Zhang Ja nodded in agreement, discussed with Dian Wei about defending the camp, and went on patrol.

Fifty miles south of the official army camp, a big man cursed after receiving a report from his subordinates: "Damn it, they ran back, making me wait here for nothing all night. Go back, break through the official army camp tomorrow, and see them Where are you going?"

About 3 people followed the big man in a disorderly manner.It turned out that an army had been ambushing here all along, and it was only twenty miles away from where Zhang Jaw caught up with Han Lingdi. If Han Lingdi went further this way, he might be ambushed again.
