Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 1336 The pit is 323 meters deep, and the bloody journey home

"Capture Emperor Nanrong alive! King Xiao will reward you!"

"Capture Emperor Nanrong alive! King Xiao will reward you!"

"Capture Emperor Nanrong alive! King Xiao will reward you!"

On the second day of May in the second year of Jingchang, there was heavy fog in the Han River.

As Xiao Qian personally led the troops into the battle and shouted "Take back the control of the river and capture the Emperor Nanrong alive", this water battle that belonged to the struggle between the two kings reached a climax.For a moment, the boat swayed, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the smell of blood permeated the steaming Han River, piercing the hearts of the soldiers of the two armies like a terrifying aura of murder.

The cruelty of war lies in the fact that either he dies or I die, and there is no sympathy to speak of.

Therefore, Gu Liyang, who wanted Song Xi to turn around and leave, saw Xiao Qian personally lead the army to kill him, his heart was flustered, his scalp felt numb, he hurried up to meet him, jumped off his horse, and knelt down on one knee to salute.

"My lord, the future will be guilty—"

"General Gu, don't blame yourself! It's not too late, and you rush to help the Hanshui Corridor—I'm here."

On Xiao Qian's lofty war horse, amidst the sky-shattering shouts, his voice was firm and powerful, deep and dignified, his lukewarm gaze passed over Gu Liyang's head, he slowly raised his sword in his hand, and swung it fiercely, " kill!"

A large number of troops surged up like a rushing river.

The buzzing sound of meteor-like arrows piercing through the air can be heard endlessly.

Kneeling on the ground with her head raised high, what Gu Liyang wanted to explain was finally blocked.

"The last general takes orders!"

Xiao Qian didn't ask him, but believed in his loyalty.

It has always been his rule to treat people not to be suspicious when he employs them, but not to use them when he is suspicious.

"Ugh!"

Gu Liyang got on his horse again and was about to leave, but at this moment, Nan Rong's soldiers and horses were about to reach the river bank.Amid waves of loud shouts, they were extremely excited, as if they had never expected to cross the river so smoothly, and Xiao Qian's army was not as brave as the legends said.

Inspired fighting spirit, ignited blood, the Nanrong soldiers on the previous ships have even started to land!And there are a large number of archers ambushing on the north bank of the river, and they only shot sporadically before. This time, seeing that they have already entered the urn, how can they be allowed to return?
"kill!"

"Capture Emperor Nanrong alive! King Xiao will reward you!"

"Kill!"

"Catch Song Xi alive!"

"..."

The deafening noise was like a death knell, but Nan Rongbing didn't know what to do at this time, and rushed forward one after another...

Gu Liyang clinging to the reins, looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh.

"Nanrong is dead!"

He thought of some love for the old master before, and wanted to force Song Xi to go back and let him live.In the end, he still insisted on killing him, so he can't be blamed for his life and death--self-inflicted, you can't live!Xiao Qian lured him to commit suicide by falsehood, wasn't it just for such a result?
There is no need to watch this battle any longer, the result is already obvious.

"drive--"

Turning the horse's head around, Gu Liyang headed towards Hanshui Corridor.

And in the short time he stopped, the north bank of the Han River was covered with corpses.

Some of the Nanrong soldiers and horses that rushed ashore were swept up by Xiao Jun's cavalry, and they were cut into small groups and fought hard.These people are lucky, they can at least fight for their lives before going to see the King of Hades, and more people are surrounded and unable to break through, and are shot by archers from all directions——

"Where is the emperor?"

In the killing sound, someone roared loudly.

"On board!"

There are large and small warships parked at the pier of the Han River, and one of them is huge, with tall flags fluttering in the cold wind...

"Come on!"

"Kill!"

"Catch the emperor alive! King Xiao will reward you!"

The troops and warships of both sides were mixed together, as dense as locusts, and the killing was indistinguishable.At this moment, Song Xi was surrounded by the rebellious army, protected by several confidant guards, holding a bloody long sword in his hand, a pair of handsome eyes were red and cold, but there was no trace of unwillingness, loneliness, or being trapped on his face. Xiao Qian hated the humiliation.

King and loser.

He killed Xiao Qian that day, but Xiao Qian never bowed his head.

He is now at a disadvantage, and his bearing is still there.

Originally, they crossed the river to hold Xiao Qian back, on the one hand to find out his reality, and on the other hand, to cooperate with the siege of the Hanshui Tunnel so that the other two armies could take the Hanshui Tunnel smoothly.But he had been confronting Xiao Qian for so long, thinking that he knew his actions well, so he dared to cross the river boldly and stroke his beard on purpose.Unexpectedly, he fell into an ambush.

The Hanshui Corridor was the main battlefield for both sides, where Xiao Qian's main force was deployed.

The number of troops Song Xi had was three times that of Xiao Qian. Even if he actually put the main force on the Hanshui Corridor, this part of the troops crossing the river should completely defeat Xiao Qian.But judging from the current situation, Xiao Qian's main force is not in the corridor at all, but on the Han River.

This caught Song Xi, who originally thought he could fully grasp the situation, a little off guard.

The development of things is completely unexpected——

Xiao Qian has a total of 30 people, he brought a large army here, who will guard the corridor?
If Xiao Qian didn't have enough soldiers and horses to stay in the tunnel, then why hasn't the tunnel been taken down by them?

Waiting and watching the situation is not good, Song Xi has no intention of fighting at this moment.

"Guan Zongguang, send the order, the army will retreat—"

"The last general has orders!" Guan Zongguang responded, and began to wave his hands to command the retreat.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly, and the dense fog slowly thinned.

Amidst the sound of fighting, the warships began to retreat to the south bank one by one, but during the battle, the ships were too crowded and it was extremely inconvenient to move, but at this time, Xiao Jun's warships surrounded them step by step and rolled up the water of the Han River Like the waves of the sea, layers of waves are surging.After finally walking for several feet, I suddenly heard Guan Zongguang's surprised exclamation.

"Not good! Your Majesty—"

Song Xi stared blankly, calmed down, "What's wrong?"

Guan Zongguang's voice changed into an unbelievably hoarse voice.

"Your Majesty, you listen to the trumpet - despicable!"

He scolded Xiao Qian, but on the battlefield, where did despicableness and justice come from?
War never decides right or wrong, it decides victory or defeat.

And the right person is usually the winner!
At this time, Song Xi also heard the sound of the horn from the other side, and his face changed suddenly.

The horns can be used to transmit military signals. The "despicable" Guan Zongguang said was that Xiao Qian used the time when they attacked the north bank of the Han River to break through the siege and attack on the other side of the corridor.Not only that, Xiao Jun even reached the south bank of the Han River directly from the tunnel, blocked their rear, and gave them a real anti-encirclement.

For a long time, Song Xi was speechless.

Guan Zongguang and the other generals also stood there in a daze, speechless.

If it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Jun was really brave and could fight ten with one and a hundred with one, then there would be ghosts.

The soldiers and horses they crossed the river were only [-]% of the total soldiers and horses of Jinzhou.And the side of the tunnel accounted for [-]% of Jinzhou's soldiers and horses... How did Xiao Jun break through with so many people and beat them all the way to the rear?Even if they were all made of tofu, it wouldn't be such a complete defeat, so embarrassing?
"Your Majesty! We are defeated! We are defeated!"

All the Nanrong soldiers heard the sobbing horns.

Not only were they defeated, but now they are still under the enemy's back and forth, and they don't even know the enemy's situation...

Suddenly, as if he had entered a dead end, Song Xi squinted his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then yelled loudly.

"Kill it out!"

At this time, they were on the river, and it could be said that the sky should not work, and the earth did not work. They had no other choice but to fight a bloody road.Song Xi made a decisive decision and issued an order. Guan Zongguang hurried forward and ordered the ship to turn right, and the rest of the ships followed suit.But no matter how hard they struggled, more than half of their ships and soldiers had been damaged.

"Your Majesty, we can't resist this! We have to find a way to break through."

Xiao Jun's warships are getting closer and closer, and some soldiers have rushed to the deck with hanging ropes.

There were shouts and noises among the crowd.

Song Xi stared coldly, "Crash into it!"

His warship is heavier than ordinary ships. When two ships collide, whoever is bigger will be stronger.

The warship crashed into it like crazy, with the bang bang, blood spattered——

After colliding with several small warships, Song Xi's imperial boat finally broke through. Guan Zongguang cursed, wiped the blood splattered on his face, watched Xiao Jun rushing up from behind, and listened to the heart-piercing There was a scream, and his back was numb.

"Your Majesty, let's escape in a boat!"

Guan Zongguang is also considered a person with some ideas. He knew that he would not be able to run away with such a ostentatiously sailing big boat. leave.

"quick!"

"Hurry up and protect Your Majesty!"

A group of people fled in a hurry, all looking extremely nervous.

Song Xi frowned, and when he looked back, a lot of Xiao troops had already flooded onto the big boat. Soldiers from both sides kept rolling off the boat and plunging into the river, disappearing after a few bubbles, leaving only The filth of the next lap of bloody water.The "clang clang" sound of those knives, guns, swords, and arrows colliding on the deck was like some kind of life-threatening spell, which made his footsteps heavier, as if he had been poured.

The setting sun is like blood, shooting into the eyes through the mist.

Standing on the boat, he suddenly sighed.

"Stop it! Stop fighting."

Hearing this, Guan Zongguang was slightly stunned, and only after he called out "Your Majesty" did he realize that his face was a little dignified, his eyes seemed to be looking straight ahead with a scorching flame.Guan Zongguang turned his head slowly, only took a look, and his mind went blank.

A nightmarish scene caught his eyes——

Tens of zhang ahead, a boat was coming, full of Xiao Qian's elite soldiers. The huge hull seemed to push a gap in the river, and the white waves forced the boat they were standing into into a whirlpool. Stopping and writhing, it also made them look like bereaved dogs, extremely embarrassed.

Xiao Qian stood on a high deck, his armor shining brightly in the setting sun.

Soon, accompanied by the sound of the wind, came his cold order.

"Take down Emperor Nanrong!"

……

……

"Your Majesty, we... Nan Rong is finished!"

Guan Zongguang shouted heart-piercingly, and looked sideways, only to see that Song Xi had just raised his hand and held up his sword, when a sharp arrow flew towards him, and hit the sword with a "clang", making the arrow in his hand The long sword fell off and hit Guan Zongguang's foot, causing him to "woo" in pain and jumped up.

"what!"

Holding a bow and arrow, Xiao Qian stood on the deck and looked at Song Xi coldly.

"It's better to die than to live, what are you in a hurry for?"

Song Xi was startled, rubbed his numb tiger's mouth from the shock, squinted slightly against the reflected sunlight, but smiled.

"You misunderstood. I just want to return the sword and pay tribute to you."
