Jiangbei female bandits
Chapter 76
Chapter 76
The officer of the Xian family in that city was also quite scheming, knowing that Bu Liuguxiao intended to drag those people under the city, he replied: "My lady, please wait patiently, I have already sent someone in to report. As long as our General Zuo says to see you, I will open the city gate and let you in."
Yun Sheng and the officer both spoke Xian's dialect, fortunately Zheng Lun had fought against the Xian's Helan tribe in Jizhou, and some of the guards around him could speak Xian's dialect, so they translated the conversation for everyone to hear.After Zheng Lun heard this, his brows became more solemn, and he said to He Ze: "This person is obviously delaying time on purpose, and the Xian family may have other plans, we have to leave as soon as possible."
In terms of scheming alone, He Ze was slightly better than Zheng Lun. He suppressed his anger and coaxed Yunsheng: "Yunsheng, you come back first, I have something to say to you. After finishing speaking, you can go in again." Go to the city to find Qiu Mu Lingyue."
Yun Sheng knew that He Ze was going to lie to him to go back, and seeing that Qiu Muling refused to see her, he became even more stubborn, turned a deaf ear to He Ze's words, and just stood there without moving.He Ze gritted his teeth with hatred, if it were someone else, he would have turned around and left already.But the person in the city is the girl he loves since childhood, she is the one who is willing to protect his wife and children with her life, he can't ignore it.
Zheng Lun looked up at the archers on the city wall, then looked at the distance between him and Yun Sheng, and said softly: "The distance is too far, the other party can shoot at least five or six rounds of arrows every time, you try to call Yun Sheng Shengsheng walked here for a while, and I went to bring her back."
He Ze nodded lightly, and said to Yunsheng: "Yunsheng, come here a few steps, Brother Twelfth has something to say to you, so it's not good for the Xian family to hear." He paused, biting secretly Gritting his teeth, he said again, "Brother Twelfth swears that he will only say a few words to you. If he breaks his oath, ten thousand arrows will pierce his heart and he will die a bad death."
Yun Sheng didn't want his cousin to make such a poisonous oath, so he hurriedly stopped and said, "Brother Twelve!"
He Ze smiled wryly, and said, "Yunsheng, Brother Twelfth is not lying to you, I just want to have a few words with you in private."
Yun Sheng was finally persuaded by him, turned around and walked back. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step, arrows rained down on the city wall again, but they all landed not far in front of her.Yun Sheng was startled, subconsciously took two steps back, turned his head to look at the city wall in horror, and then heard the officer of the Xian family shout: "Girl, don't go, General Zuo is coming soon. "
Yun Sheng immediately realized that he had been taken as a bait by the Xian family, so he hurriedly shouted at He Ze and the others, "Brother Twelve, hurry up, hurry up! Leave me alone!"
But how could He Ze and the others leave her alone.The archers on the city wall pointed their bows at the crowd again. Zheng Lun glanced at He Ze and said, "You wait here to meet them, and I'll take people there to save Yunsheng."
He Ze's right arm was useless, and it was not easy to lift the rein and control the horse with one arm, and he couldn't charge forward despite the rain of arrows.At this moment, there was no time to ask him and Zheng Lun to be polite, so he just said, "Thank you, Brother Zheng."
Zheng Lun gave some instructions to the guards in a low voice, then nodded slightly towards He Ze.He Zegao sat on the horse, and suddenly shouted to Yunsheng: "Yunsheng, take two steps forward and stop!"
Yun Sheng was taken aback for a moment, although he didn't immediately understand He Ze's intentions, but out of trust in him, he immediately took two big steps forward.As He Ze expected, another wave of arrows was shot from the city wall to threaten Yunsheng.As soon as the rain of arrows was released, Zheng Lun rushed out with a dozen bodyguards and galloped down the city.
The archers of the Xian family were divided into two groups to shoot arrows. The archers of the first team released their arrows and retreated back, while the other team waiting behind immediately stepped forward. This back and forth alternated, and the archery speed was naturally much faster than that of the first team. .But even so, there is a gap between the two arrows.In such a short time, Zheng Lun led his men halfway, and after blocking the first wave of arrows with his sword, a dozen guards suddenly dispersed and fled in all directions. Only Zheng Lun went straight to Yunsheng. rushed everywhere.
The second wave of arrow rain came again, but it became much thinner as the guards dispersed.Zheng Lun swung his sword and slashed down a few feathered arrows. Although the horse under him was hit by the arrows, it didn't hurt its vitals, so it was fine.He urged the horse to gallop in front of Yunsheng, leaned down and lifted her up on the horse, then quickly turned the horse's head and galloped out.
He Ze looked very nervous, seeing Zheng Lun leading Yun Sheng back, he felt relieved.Before he could breathe out, he inadvertently raised his head and glanced at the city wall, but his face suddenly changed, and he shouted sharply: "Be careful——"
Before he finished shouting, there was a sharp roar in the air, and a long arrow pierced through the air, shooting straight at Zheng Lun who was on the horse with awe-inspiring killing intent.
It's amazing to say that Zheng Lun seemed to have sensed the murderous aura long ago, and before He Ze gave a warning, he leaned down suddenly, and the long arrow passed Zheng Lun's vest tightly, piercing through the horse in front of him. After the neck, the momentum remained undiminished, and it was nailed deeply into the soil.The mount under Zheng Lun rushed forward for a certain distance according to the inertia, and then suddenly fell forward and fell to the ground.Zheng Lun hugged Yun Sheng and rolled off his horse. He didn't dare to stop for a moment. He only circulated the true energy in his body to the extreme and galloped forward.
He Ze was so frightened by the scene just now that he couldn't take care of it for a while, so he hurriedly rode his horse forward to meet Zheng Lun, but unexpectedly, a horse flew out of the slanting stab and rushed straight towards Zheng Lun.
Another sharp arrow screamed towards the city wall, faster than the previous one.Holding Yun Sheng in Zheng Lun's arms, it was inconvenient to move, and he couldn't avoid the arrow at all, so he could only dodge to the side as much as possible, trying to avoid the vital part of the vest.In the midst of the lightning and sparks, suddenly a dart hit from the side, collided with the arrow head-on, made a jingling sound, hit the arrow in a deflected direction, and flew obliquely to the side.
Zheng Lun escaped a catastrophe, both surprised and delighted, he couldn't help turning his head to look, seeing that it was Chen Nian coming on horseback, his complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted: "Go, go!"
In the rain of arrows, Chen Nian was already galloping towards her. She tightened the reins on one side suddenly, rode her horse around Zheng Lun, walked side by side close to him, and shouted urgently: "Get on the horse!"
Zheng Lun ran wildly under his feet, he only lifted Yun Sheng, who had already been frightened, onto Chen Nian's horse, patted his horse's butt vigorously, and urged, "Hurry up!"
Chen Nian didn't come here to save Yunsheng, but at this moment, he couldn't make a move to throw Yunsheng off the horse.She glanced at Zheng Lun hastily, and saw that although he had an arrow wound on his body, but it was not serious, she urged her horse to run towards He Ze and the others.There was still some distance away from them, Chen Nian lifted Yun Sheng up in front of him, and shouted to He Ze: "Go on!"
She originally wanted to throw Yunsheng at He Ze's horse, but when she saw He Ze's right arm hanging by her side, she changed her mind, and with a twist of her wrist, she threw Yun Sheng at a person beside He Ze. guard.
The personal guard has been closely guarding He Zema's side, his martial arts are not weak, seeing this situation, he hastily used his strength to counteract Yunsheng's falling force, and caught her steadily.Chen Nian told them to go first in a cold voice, but he reined in his horse and waited for Zheng Lun behind him.
Zheng Lun has deep inner strength, and without the burden of Yun Sheng, he gallops at a speed that can catch up with a horse, and he catches up behind Chen Nian in the blink of an eye.At this moment, he was already out of the range of the Xian family's archers, Zheng Lun felt a little relieved, seeing that Chen Nian was waiting for him, his heart burst into endless joy, and without waiting for Chen Nian's orders, he jumped behind her, Said: "Go!"
The two rode on the same horse and fled eastward.He Ze waited not far in front with his people, seeing Zheng Lun and the others escaped safely, he was also sincerely happy, and thanked Zheng Lun with his hands clasped together: "Today's kindness, He Ze will never forget." He then turned to Chen Chen Nian, hesitated for a while, and thanked, "Thank you for your help."
Chen Nian's face was covered with a mask, so he couldn't see any expression, only a little indifference could be seen from those exposed eyes.She ignored He Ze and looked back at the distant city wall. The arrows just now were clearly familiar, but they didn't look like her foster father or Lu Xiao.Who is it?Besides the two of them in Taixing City, who else has such skill?
Feeling uneasy, Chen Nian tilted his head and said to Zheng Lun: "I have asked Vice General Chen to bring [-] elite soldiers to meet him. We need to join him as soon as possible to avoid any changes."
Although she didn't say a word of accusation, the coldness around her showed her attitude.Zheng Lun was slightly dazed, and his mind was a little wandering. For a moment, he thought that if he took such a risk to save Yunsheng, Chen Nian would definitely make Chen Nian misunderstand that he liked Yun Sheng. She sensed his thoughts.
Chen Nian didn't know what Zheng Lun was thinking, seeing that he didn't respond, he looked back at him in surprise: "General Zheng?"
Zheng Lun suddenly came back to his senses, and replied, "Okay."
Chen Nian glanced back at the city wall again, and was about to ride his horse away, when Yun Sheng, who had been sitting blankly on the guard's horse, suddenly murmured: "It's Tuobayao, Tuobayao is in Taixing. "
Her nonsensical words stunned everyone. Seeing her in a trance, He Ze became even more worried, and asked, "Yunsheng, what did you say?"
Yun Sheng raised his head and looked at He Ze blankly. After a while, his empty and lifeless gaze gradually became clear, and he said, "Brother Twelve, the man who shot the arrow just now is Tuoba Yao's confidant's bodyguard, and his arrow skills are excellent. Not far from Tuoba Yao."
After being reminded by Yunsheng, Chen Nian suddenly remembered that in the Xinglin in the south of Xuanzhou City, there was indeed a good archer beside Tuobayao, and he was so condescending that day, and suddenly shot cold arrows, if Fan Jingyun hadn't rescued him at that time , she was either dead or injured.
"Why is Tuobayao in Taixing?" He Ze was not convinced, and asked Yunsheng again, "Did you admit it wrong?"
Before Yunsheng could answer, Chen Nian said in a cold voice: "It should be true, I have confronted that archer before, it seems to be the same person."
She said so, and everyone believed it.Zheng Lun and He Ze looked at each other, and they both saw a bit of solemnity in each other's eyes.Tuobayao will not come alone, since he is here, the army of the Xian family must also be there.When did Tuoba Yao come?How did he bypass Feng Junyang in Yuzhou?
He Ze said: "If Tuoba Yao is really in Taixing, there must be a conspiracy!"
This is simply nonsense!Chen Nian cursed secretly, Tuoba Yao would never come here to play.There were vague thoughts in her mind, but they were vague and intangible, making it difficult for people to grasp them for a while.For Tuobayao, she knows a little more than Zheng Lun and He Ze.That night she sneaked into Xinglin and was discovered by Tuobayao. He clearly had many guards around him, but he personally fought her.
Chen Nian collected his mind and said: "I don't have time to think about this now, it's better to go back to the army first." After speaking, he shook the reins and left first.
He Ze and the others hurriedly chased after them, and the group had traveled eastward for less than two miles, when suddenly a large group of cavalry rushed out from the northeast, carrying the power of thunder, and charged straight at the crowd.Everyone was stunned, there were only three or forty of them in such a cavalry formation, they were no opponents at all.
"Go south, go to the riverside!" He Ze shouted loudly, and immediately turned his horse's head and galloped south, but Chen Nian was hesitant. Deputy General Chen was leading his troops to this side, if they followed He Ze like this Fleeing to Fuping Shuizhai, if Deputy General Chen could not get the news in time, he would only think that they were trapped in the enemy's line and desperately came to rescue them.She thought for a while, then turned around and asked Zheng Lun, "Is your injury serious?"
Although Zheng Lun saw blood in several places, it was caused by the rubbing of the arrow, and he only said: "Skin wounds, it's not a problem."
Due to time constraints, Chen Nian didn't have time to talk to him in detail, so he just asked: "Then let's go meet the iron cavalry of the Xian clan for a while, pass through their cavalry formation, and join up with Vice General Chen, okay? "
Her proposal was too bold, and Zheng Lun was taken aback: "The two of us?"
"Yes, just the two of us." Chen Nian smiled. She reined in her horse and stood up, holding the rein with one hand and holding a knife in the other. She turned slightly to talk to him, "The rest followed He Ze to the south, and the two of us followed behind." Block for them."
Among these people, the martial arts of the two of them are the only ones who can have a try like this.Zheng Lun's heart suddenly rose with great pride, and he laughed loudly: "Okay!"
In just a short while, the cavalry of the Xian family over there galloped a lot closer.He Ze galloped his horse for a certain distance, but he didn't see Chen Nian chasing him, so he couldn't help but turned around and glanced, seeing that the two of them were going to meet the Xian's cavalry, he was startled, and deliberately turned back to meet the enemy with the two of them, but this idea As soon as it emerged, it was suppressed by reason, only gritted its teeth, turned around and continued to flee south.
Besides, Bu Liuguxiao led troops out from the east gate, and went straight to the southwest, in order to stop Zheng Lun and He Ze and kill them.Seeing that the group of them were stopped, Bu Liuguxiao was naturally overjoyed, and when the other party turned and fled south, he couldn't help sneering to himself, and was about to chase them from behind, but unexpectedly, a horse charged forward .
Seeing this suicide-like action, the cavalrymen of the Xian clan who were charging forward were startled, and before they could react, the two of them rushed to the front of their horses.As the distance got closer, Bu Liuguxiao could clearly see the thin figure of the knight opposite, the silver mask covering his face, and those bright eyes.
Chennian, this is Chennian!Bu Liuguxiao was startled suddenly, and subconsciously turned the horse's head to the side.At this moment, Chen Nian jumped up suddenly, jumped high from the horse, raised the knife with both hands, and fell towards Bu Liuguxiao.Before the knife arrives, the wind of the knife has arrived, the murderous aura is overwhelming, and the chill is awe-inspiring.Shocked, Bu Liuguxiao hurriedly raised his saber to resist, and shouted: "Chen Nian!"
The two knives collided with each other, and there was a crisp sound, sparks were knocked out, and a strong force struck, making Bu Liuguxiao's arms go numb, and the scimitar could hardly be grasped.Chen Nian's body fell rapidly, as if he wanted to use this momentum to push him off the horse.Seeing her being so ignorant and merciless, Bu Liuguxiao felt a little annoyed, and put all his strength in a fit of anger, raising his knife to resist.
One move after another, as fast as lightning, the two of them just met each other, but Bu Liuguxiao saw a trace of cunning in Chen Nian's eyes.He was stunned for a moment, before he could react, Chen Nian tapped the horse's head with his toes, and jumped up again with his strength, flying past his head like a roc.
After Bu Liuguxiao reacted, looking back, Chen Nian's figure had already landed on another cavalry horse, and he did the same thing, using his strength to jump up again.Just a few ups and downs like this, in the blink of an eye, he went twenty or thirty feet away from the direction the cavalry was attacking.
When the cavalry brigade charged, they couldn't turn around immediately, and in order to avoid collisions with their own people, there was a distance between the horses and the horses.I don't want Chen Nian to take advantage of these two points, abandoning the horse under his body, he is erratic, and leaps forward. Although it is dangerous and dangerous, every time he lands on the horse, it is because the cavalry behind deliberately Even if you dodge, you can't avoid her.
Looking at Zheng Lun again, he was actually right next to Chen Nian.Among the thousands of troops, the two are like a pair of falcons, flying together or chasing each other. Although it is extremely thrilling, it is also full of fun.Halfway through the rush, Chen Nian's mind was agitated, and he couldn't help screaming, the zhenqi in his body moved more urgently, avoiding the scimitar swung by the cavalry, and directly stepped on top of his head, using his strength to jump, he went again. Then it flew several feet away.
Zheng Lun was aroused by her to be competitive, he jumped two or three times, and unexpectedly passed in front of Chen Nian.Chen Nian was very surprised. She has the endless internal strength of Wuyun Magic Art to achieve such a level. I don't want Zheng Lun to be so strong at such a young age. No wonder even Jing Yuxuan said that he is a martial arts genius .
Zheng Lun glanced at her, and said with a loud smile: "Let's compare and see who will rush through first, okay?"
"Okay." Chen Nian replied, before the voice fell, the man jumped forward again, grabbing the first opportunity.Even though she is already a top expert, she is still that little female bandit who loves to take advantage of others, Zheng Lun laughed out loud and followed closely.
The two chased all the way, and they rushed out almost at the same time. Zheng Lun landed earlier, but Chen Nian landed a little further ahead than him, and it was hard to tell the winner.Chen Nian glanced back and saw that Bu Liuguxiao was leading the cavalry vanguard in a big circle and turned around in the distance, and he smiled with Zheng Lun: "This time it's not just the two of us who are faster than each other." , I have to compare with them, whether the legs of the people are faster or the legs of the horses are faster."
The two dared not stop, and continued to rush forward.Although Zheng Lun's internal energy is profound, it is not as inexhaustible as Chen Nian's. After running for a while, his internal energy gradually became exhausted.Chen Nian saw it clearly, turned his head and said, "You lost."
Zheng Lun pursed his lips slightly, not to be outdone, and was about to grit his teeth and rush forward, but saw Chen Nian stretching out his hand to him, jokingly said: "Hurry up, slow down, be careful of being shot into a hedgehog."
She is open-minded, and at this moment only thinks of Zheng Lun as a comrade-in-arms.But Zheng Lun was not like her. He hesitated for a moment before reaching out to hold Chen Nian's hand. As soon as his fingertips touched her palm, he felt that his heartbeat seemed to be much faster, as if it would burst through his chest in the next moment. Jump out.
Chen Nian was so focused on running away that he didn't notice Zheng Lun's thoughts, so he grabbed his palm with his backhand.Zheng Lun only felt a upright and soft inner force coming from her palm and entering his meridians, which immediately revived his spirit.He was both happy and touched in his heart, for a moment he forgot that the two of them were running for their lives, and only hoped that they would keep running like this.
The two of them ran hand in hand and went straight for twenty or thirty miles before they saw Vice General Chen who came to meet him.Chen Nian dragged Zheng Lun and continued to run wildly, before he reached the front of the army, he shouted loudly: "Quick! Change formation to meet the enemy."
Deputy General Chen saw that both of them had come back safely, he was overjoyed, and rushed forward to greet them, shouting: "General! Thank you, Master!"
When it comes to forming troops, Zheng Lun is much stronger than Chen Nian.He let go of Chen Nian, jumped on the horse let out by his personal guards, and after a few orders, the army quickly changed into a combat formation.With [-] against [-], the situation immediately reversed.Chen Nian also found a new mount, rode close to Zheng Lun, and said suddenly: "Go to Liu Guxiao, I'll deal with it."
Zheng Lun was startled for a moment, but then he came to his senses, his heart sank, and he said in a low voice: "The two armies are fighting, you will die and live, there is no room for mercy."
Chen Nian turned his head slightly, glanced at him in surprise, and said, "What are you thinking? Your internal energy is almost exhausted at the moment, and you are no match for him at all. I will fight him for you. Why do you want to show mercy to him? ? If you don’t believe me, then you can go by yourself, and then you will be hurt by his knife, so don’t blame me.”
Zheng Lun choked for a while, but said in a cold voice: "I don't complain."
Chen Nian saw that he was so brave, it was really hard to understand, and felt that he was moody, and he felt a little displeased, so he simply rode his horse back to the side, ignored Zheng Lun, and only waited for him to be defeated by Lu Xiao. Watch him joke.
Besides, Bu Liuguxiao, who led the troops to chase after him, divided some of his troops and went south to chase He Ze, but he came to chase Chen Nian and Zheng Lun himself.Unexpectedly, the speed of the two of them was so fast that they left the cavalry far behind. After chasing a few miles east, they encountered the army of Xia people.
To fight or not to fight, these two thoughts collided in Bu Liuguxiao's mind.In the battle, there is a huge difference between one's own troops and the opponent's, and it is facing the enemy head-on, so there is almost no chance of winning.However, it can hold back the other party until the army behind them arrives.If you don't fight, although you lose your momentum, you preserve your strength.What's more, you can also make a retreat. If you can attract the opponent's pursuit, it will create an opportunity for the army in the city to take advantage of.
For a moment, Bu Liuguxiao hesitated.
According to historical records, the Taixing War in June of the fourth year of Xinwu began as a scuffle. Although both sides had their own plans in advance, the rhythm of the war was disrupted because the war started too suddenly.Zheng Lun's army had just arrived in the east of Taixing, and before they had time to rest, they were forced to start a war with the Xian family.The Xian family waited for work with leisure, and initially had the upper hand, but as the He family's navy crossed the river to join the battle, the situation suddenly reversed. In desperation, Bu Liuguxiao had to lead the army back to Taixing.
According to the previous calculation, it would not be difficult to capture Taixing with the combined efforts of Zheng Lun and He Ze. Unexpectedly, the siege battle had only just started two days, but the Xian clan's reinforcements suddenly appeared on the west side of Taixing.
The 10,000+ Xian clan reinforcements that fell from the sky were really unexpected by Zheng Lun and others.
Because Feng Junyang and others all expected that the Beimo soldiers would not fight to the death for the Xian clan to defend the city, they released the west side of Taixing to leave a retreat for the Beimo troops. The 10,000+ army of the Xian family was quietly dispatched, passed through the Xihu grassland, passed through Maocheng, Xiaogecheng, and Hamburg, and arrived in the west of Taixing without anyone noticing.
In this way, even if the [-] Beimo troops are not counted, the Xian clan's troops are already superior.It was also thanks to the fact that the Xian clan's reinforcements had come from afar, lacked in men and horses, and their combat power was damaged. This gave Zheng Lun and He Ze a chance to retreat.
He Ze led the army back to the river, intending to cross the river back to the water village, but unexpectedly, the navy ships parked by the river were attacked by the Xian clan, thousands of warships were burned, and in the night, the fire burst into the sky , The whole river is red.He Ze's retreat was cut off, followed by Xian's troops chasing after him. When the whole army was about to be annihilated, Chen Nian led the rebel cavalry to fight back, and inserted in a wedge-shaped formation from the left rear flank of the Xian's army, like a sharp knife, Vigorously tore a hole in the Xian's army's line, saved He Ze's army from heading northeast, and joined forces with Zheng Lun's army.
Fighting hard for days, everyone was in a mess, Zheng Lun was injured in the confrontation with Bu Liuguxiao, even Chen Nian was also slightly injured because he led the army to rescue He Ze.The cavalry attacked in a wedge formation. Although the penetrating power was extremely strong, at the same time, the general who was at the front was also the most dangerous. If it was not a last resort, no general would use this formation.
He Ze was well aware of the pros and cons of this array, and felt a little more grateful to Chen Nian, so he went to find her to thank her.Chen Nian's arm was shot by Liu Ya, and she was sitting on the ground letting Ling Que bandage her wound. When she saw He Ze coming, she only lifted her eyelids and glanced at him, and said calmly: "You don't need to thank me, saving you is not my intention, But it’s all about the bigger picture.”
He Ze smiled helplessly when he heard the words, turned a blind eye to Ling Que's white eyes, sat down on the floor opposite Chen Nian, and said, "I think we all underestimated Tuoba Yao, if we hadn't started the war early this time and accidentally hit and damaged his Plan, let his reinforcements come around behind you, I am afraid that our two armies will be lost in his hands."
Everyone's eyes were on Taixing City. If Xian's reinforcements sneaked around Taixing from the north and got behind Zheng Lun's army, when the time came to fight, they would face the enemy, not to mention saving He Ze, even themselves would be in trouble.
Chen Nian was indifferent, He Ze felt bored, and was about to get up and leave, but Zheng Lun had already come from a distance, and said in a deep voice: "My lord has led troops south, and they will arrive in a few days."
When the generals heard the news, they couldn't help showing joy on their faces. Feng Junyang came so quickly, which was beyond everyone's expectations. It must be that he got the news of Tuobayao's southward journey as soon as he returned to Yuzhou, so he was able to come so quickly. reaction.
However, He Ze twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Everyone, don't be so busy being happy, I'm afraid that Tuoba Yao also knows that King Yunxi's army is coming, and won't give us a chance to wait."
These words were like pouring a basin of cold water over their heads, extinguishing the joy of the generals.Tuoba Yao was willing to take the risk, and an army of 10,000+ traveled thousands of miles to the outside of Taixing City, in order to concentrate his forces to destroy Zheng Lun and He Ze, and then turn around and concentrate on dealing with Feng Junyang. Lu Dajun encircled Taixing.
Zheng Lun thought for a while and said: "Now that things have come to an end, instead of fleeing to the east, it is better to turn around and meet the pursuers. As long as you can persist for three to five days, when the prince's army arrives, you can turn the tide of the battle."
He Ze nodded: "Exactly."
Both of them said that, naturally many generals responded.Chen Nian was silent all the time, and when Zheng Lun turned to look at her, he said, "Even if we want to fight, we should go east and take advantage of the favorable terrain."
If Taixing goes east, it will enter the hilly area of Xiangzhou, with many mountains and low mountains. If they can lure the Xian family's pursuers there, their chances of winning will be increased by several percent.
He Ze pondered for a while, and replied: "More than 30 miles to the northeast from here, there is a short mountain called Yuanbao Mountain, where you can set up an ambush."
As soon as the words were finished, scouts galloped over and reported to Zheng Lun: "General, the army of the Xian family is chasing after us, and they are less than twenty miles away from our army."
It was only after dawn that the Xian clan's pursuers arrived.Everyone was shocked, Qi Qi looked at Zheng Lun, waiting for his decision.Zheng Lun said decisively: "Okay, then please General He lead the troops to set up an ambush there first, and I will lead the army here to block the pursuers, and then feign defeat and lead the enemy troops there."
He Ze responded, got on his horse, and left with the He family army.
Zheng Lun issued several military orders in a row, and all the generals led them away, preparing to form an array here to face the Xian family's pursuers.The rebel army led by Chen Nian came quietly to the north, hiding behind a gentle slope, and only waited for the Xian's army to fight Zheng Lun before rushing out from behind the enemy's side and attacking the enemy's formation.
This mission is much less dangerous than those that have to face the enemy head-on. Although Wen Daya is not afraid of death, he can't help but secretly get lucky, and whispered to Lingque beside him: "Then Zheng Lun is kind, no Tell our rebels to stand in the front and send his direct descendants to death."
In fact, from the time when Jizhou and Zheng Lun joined hands to fight against the Helan tribe of the Xian family, to the time they traveled westward to rescue Taixing, Zheng Lun has always been kind to the rebels, and his spirit is upright. It was his fault."
Wen Daya chuckled twice, and explained: "I'm just praising him."
Lingque didn't speak, but clamped the horse's belly with both legs, urging the horse to go forward to find Chennian.Fang Xun, who was beside Wen Daya, looked at it strangely, and couldn't help but move closer to Wen Daya, and asked in a low voice: "I see that Miss Lu has a good temper these days, and I don't know which sentence she didn't say correctly made her unhappy. I don't think so of her either."
Wen Daya turned his head to look at Fang Xun, opened his mouth, but his words changed when he got to the tip of his tongue, he was only surprised: "Is there? I think she has always been so straightforward."
Fang Xun is a person who is both rough and subtle, so it is natural to see that Wen Daya is pretending to be stupid with him, he smiled, but didn't say anything.
After a while, the ground in the south could be heard faintly trembling, and after a while, there was a sky-shattering cry of killing.Chen Nian couldn't help saying in a low voice: "It's time for a battle."
Lingque nodded lightly, remained silent for a moment, and suddenly asked Chen Nian, "Master, what if the general of the Xian family who led the troops to chase after him is Brother Lu?"
When Chen Nian heard the words, he turned to look at her.
Lingque's usually strong face suddenly showed a little confusion, she lowered her head unconsciously, and said softly: "Although I have been prepared to meet Brother Lu one day since the day I returned to Jiangbei, but when I really come back, I will wait for this day." When the time came, I was afraid again.”
If she is like this, what about the Chen Nian when she was more entangled with Lu Xiao?Lingque raised his eyes to look at Chen Nian, and asked, "Master, what were you thinking when you rescued General Zheng from brother Lu's knife that day?"
"What can you think about? At the beginning, I wanted to see Zheng Lun's jokes. Later, I thought about saving Zheng Lun as soon as possible. Don't let him be hacked by Lu Xiao." Chen Nian was slightly distracted, and the corner of his mouth The smile disappeared in an instant.In fact, she was not afraid of Lu Xiao leading troops here, her martial arts were better than him, and at worst she could capture him alive.What she was afraid of was that the person who came was not Lu Xiao, but her adoptive father, not Mu Zhanyue from Qingfeng Village, but Qiu Mu Lingyue, the left general of the Xian clan.
The scouts watching on the hillside had already made gestures, Chen Nian slowly closed his eyes, opened them again after a while, and shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
(End of this chapter)
The officer of the Xian family in that city was also quite scheming, knowing that Bu Liuguxiao intended to drag those people under the city, he replied: "My lady, please wait patiently, I have already sent someone in to report. As long as our General Zuo says to see you, I will open the city gate and let you in."
Yun Sheng and the officer both spoke Xian's dialect, fortunately Zheng Lun had fought against the Xian's Helan tribe in Jizhou, and some of the guards around him could speak Xian's dialect, so they translated the conversation for everyone to hear.After Zheng Lun heard this, his brows became more solemn, and he said to He Ze: "This person is obviously delaying time on purpose, and the Xian family may have other plans, we have to leave as soon as possible."
In terms of scheming alone, He Ze was slightly better than Zheng Lun. He suppressed his anger and coaxed Yunsheng: "Yunsheng, you come back first, I have something to say to you. After finishing speaking, you can go in again." Go to the city to find Qiu Mu Lingyue."
Yun Sheng knew that He Ze was going to lie to him to go back, and seeing that Qiu Muling refused to see her, he became even more stubborn, turned a deaf ear to He Ze's words, and just stood there without moving.He Ze gritted his teeth with hatred, if it were someone else, he would have turned around and left already.But the person in the city is the girl he loves since childhood, she is the one who is willing to protect his wife and children with her life, he can't ignore it.
Zheng Lun looked up at the archers on the city wall, then looked at the distance between him and Yun Sheng, and said softly: "The distance is too far, the other party can shoot at least five or six rounds of arrows every time, you try to call Yun Sheng Shengsheng walked here for a while, and I went to bring her back."
He Ze nodded lightly, and said to Yunsheng: "Yunsheng, come here a few steps, Brother Twelfth has something to say to you, so it's not good for the Xian family to hear." He paused, biting secretly Gritting his teeth, he said again, "Brother Twelfth swears that he will only say a few words to you. If he breaks his oath, ten thousand arrows will pierce his heart and he will die a bad death."
Yun Sheng didn't want his cousin to make such a poisonous oath, so he hurriedly stopped and said, "Brother Twelve!"
He Ze smiled wryly, and said, "Yunsheng, Brother Twelfth is not lying to you, I just want to have a few words with you in private."
Yun Sheng was finally persuaded by him, turned around and walked back. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step, arrows rained down on the city wall again, but they all landed not far in front of her.Yun Sheng was startled, subconsciously took two steps back, turned his head to look at the city wall in horror, and then heard the officer of the Xian family shout: "Girl, don't go, General Zuo is coming soon. "
Yun Sheng immediately realized that he had been taken as a bait by the Xian family, so he hurriedly shouted at He Ze and the others, "Brother Twelve, hurry up, hurry up! Leave me alone!"
But how could He Ze and the others leave her alone.The archers on the city wall pointed their bows at the crowd again. Zheng Lun glanced at He Ze and said, "You wait here to meet them, and I'll take people there to save Yunsheng."
He Ze's right arm was useless, and it was not easy to lift the rein and control the horse with one arm, and he couldn't charge forward despite the rain of arrows.At this moment, there was no time to ask him and Zheng Lun to be polite, so he just said, "Thank you, Brother Zheng."
Zheng Lun gave some instructions to the guards in a low voice, then nodded slightly towards He Ze.He Zegao sat on the horse, and suddenly shouted to Yunsheng: "Yunsheng, take two steps forward and stop!"
Yun Sheng was taken aback for a moment, although he didn't immediately understand He Ze's intentions, but out of trust in him, he immediately took two big steps forward.As He Ze expected, another wave of arrows was shot from the city wall to threaten Yunsheng.As soon as the rain of arrows was released, Zheng Lun rushed out with a dozen bodyguards and galloped down the city.
The archers of the Xian family were divided into two groups to shoot arrows. The archers of the first team released their arrows and retreated back, while the other team waiting behind immediately stepped forward. This back and forth alternated, and the archery speed was naturally much faster than that of the first team. .But even so, there is a gap between the two arrows.In such a short time, Zheng Lun led his men halfway, and after blocking the first wave of arrows with his sword, a dozen guards suddenly dispersed and fled in all directions. Only Zheng Lun went straight to Yunsheng. rushed everywhere.
The second wave of arrow rain came again, but it became much thinner as the guards dispersed.Zheng Lun swung his sword and slashed down a few feathered arrows. Although the horse under him was hit by the arrows, it didn't hurt its vitals, so it was fine.He urged the horse to gallop in front of Yunsheng, leaned down and lifted her up on the horse, then quickly turned the horse's head and galloped out.
He Ze looked very nervous, seeing Zheng Lun leading Yun Sheng back, he felt relieved.Before he could breathe out, he inadvertently raised his head and glanced at the city wall, but his face suddenly changed, and he shouted sharply: "Be careful——"
Before he finished shouting, there was a sharp roar in the air, and a long arrow pierced through the air, shooting straight at Zheng Lun who was on the horse with awe-inspiring killing intent.
It's amazing to say that Zheng Lun seemed to have sensed the murderous aura long ago, and before He Ze gave a warning, he leaned down suddenly, and the long arrow passed Zheng Lun's vest tightly, piercing through the horse in front of him. After the neck, the momentum remained undiminished, and it was nailed deeply into the soil.The mount under Zheng Lun rushed forward for a certain distance according to the inertia, and then suddenly fell forward and fell to the ground.Zheng Lun hugged Yun Sheng and rolled off his horse. He didn't dare to stop for a moment. He only circulated the true energy in his body to the extreme and galloped forward.
He Ze was so frightened by the scene just now that he couldn't take care of it for a while, so he hurriedly rode his horse forward to meet Zheng Lun, but unexpectedly, a horse flew out of the slanting stab and rushed straight towards Zheng Lun.
Another sharp arrow screamed towards the city wall, faster than the previous one.Holding Yun Sheng in Zheng Lun's arms, it was inconvenient to move, and he couldn't avoid the arrow at all, so he could only dodge to the side as much as possible, trying to avoid the vital part of the vest.In the midst of the lightning and sparks, suddenly a dart hit from the side, collided with the arrow head-on, made a jingling sound, hit the arrow in a deflected direction, and flew obliquely to the side.
Zheng Lun escaped a catastrophe, both surprised and delighted, he couldn't help turning his head to look, seeing that it was Chen Nian coming on horseback, his complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted: "Go, go!"
In the rain of arrows, Chen Nian was already galloping towards her. She tightened the reins on one side suddenly, rode her horse around Zheng Lun, walked side by side close to him, and shouted urgently: "Get on the horse!"
Zheng Lun ran wildly under his feet, he only lifted Yun Sheng, who had already been frightened, onto Chen Nian's horse, patted his horse's butt vigorously, and urged, "Hurry up!"
Chen Nian didn't come here to save Yunsheng, but at this moment, he couldn't make a move to throw Yunsheng off the horse.She glanced at Zheng Lun hastily, and saw that although he had an arrow wound on his body, but it was not serious, she urged her horse to run towards He Ze and the others.There was still some distance away from them, Chen Nian lifted Yun Sheng up in front of him, and shouted to He Ze: "Go on!"
She originally wanted to throw Yunsheng at He Ze's horse, but when she saw He Ze's right arm hanging by her side, she changed her mind, and with a twist of her wrist, she threw Yun Sheng at a person beside He Ze. guard.
The personal guard has been closely guarding He Zema's side, his martial arts are not weak, seeing this situation, he hastily used his strength to counteract Yunsheng's falling force, and caught her steadily.Chen Nian told them to go first in a cold voice, but he reined in his horse and waited for Zheng Lun behind him.
Zheng Lun has deep inner strength, and without the burden of Yun Sheng, he gallops at a speed that can catch up with a horse, and he catches up behind Chen Nian in the blink of an eye.At this moment, he was already out of the range of the Xian family's archers, Zheng Lun felt a little relieved, seeing that Chen Nian was waiting for him, his heart burst into endless joy, and without waiting for Chen Nian's orders, he jumped behind her, Said: "Go!"
The two rode on the same horse and fled eastward.He Ze waited not far in front with his people, seeing Zheng Lun and the others escaped safely, he was also sincerely happy, and thanked Zheng Lun with his hands clasped together: "Today's kindness, He Ze will never forget." He then turned to Chen Chen Nian, hesitated for a while, and thanked, "Thank you for your help."
Chen Nian's face was covered with a mask, so he couldn't see any expression, only a little indifference could be seen from those exposed eyes.She ignored He Ze and looked back at the distant city wall. The arrows just now were clearly familiar, but they didn't look like her foster father or Lu Xiao.Who is it?Besides the two of them in Taixing City, who else has such skill?
Feeling uneasy, Chen Nian tilted his head and said to Zheng Lun: "I have asked Vice General Chen to bring [-] elite soldiers to meet him. We need to join him as soon as possible to avoid any changes."
Although she didn't say a word of accusation, the coldness around her showed her attitude.Zheng Lun was slightly dazed, and his mind was a little wandering. For a moment, he thought that if he took such a risk to save Yunsheng, Chen Nian would definitely make Chen Nian misunderstand that he liked Yun Sheng. She sensed his thoughts.
Chen Nian didn't know what Zheng Lun was thinking, seeing that he didn't respond, he looked back at him in surprise: "General Zheng?"
Zheng Lun suddenly came back to his senses, and replied, "Okay."
Chen Nian glanced back at the city wall again, and was about to ride his horse away, when Yun Sheng, who had been sitting blankly on the guard's horse, suddenly murmured: "It's Tuobayao, Tuobayao is in Taixing. "
Her nonsensical words stunned everyone. Seeing her in a trance, He Ze became even more worried, and asked, "Yunsheng, what did you say?"
Yun Sheng raised his head and looked at He Ze blankly. After a while, his empty and lifeless gaze gradually became clear, and he said, "Brother Twelve, the man who shot the arrow just now is Tuoba Yao's confidant's bodyguard, and his arrow skills are excellent. Not far from Tuoba Yao."
After being reminded by Yunsheng, Chen Nian suddenly remembered that in the Xinglin in the south of Xuanzhou City, there was indeed a good archer beside Tuobayao, and he was so condescending that day, and suddenly shot cold arrows, if Fan Jingyun hadn't rescued him at that time , she was either dead or injured.
"Why is Tuobayao in Taixing?" He Ze was not convinced, and asked Yunsheng again, "Did you admit it wrong?"
Before Yunsheng could answer, Chen Nian said in a cold voice: "It should be true, I have confronted that archer before, it seems to be the same person."
She said so, and everyone believed it.Zheng Lun and He Ze looked at each other, and they both saw a bit of solemnity in each other's eyes.Tuobayao will not come alone, since he is here, the army of the Xian family must also be there.When did Tuoba Yao come?How did he bypass Feng Junyang in Yuzhou?
He Ze said: "If Tuoba Yao is really in Taixing, there must be a conspiracy!"
This is simply nonsense!Chen Nian cursed secretly, Tuoba Yao would never come here to play.There were vague thoughts in her mind, but they were vague and intangible, making it difficult for people to grasp them for a while.For Tuobayao, she knows a little more than Zheng Lun and He Ze.That night she sneaked into Xinglin and was discovered by Tuobayao. He clearly had many guards around him, but he personally fought her.
Chen Nian collected his mind and said: "I don't have time to think about this now, it's better to go back to the army first." After speaking, he shook the reins and left first.
He Ze and the others hurriedly chased after them, and the group had traveled eastward for less than two miles, when suddenly a large group of cavalry rushed out from the northeast, carrying the power of thunder, and charged straight at the crowd.Everyone was stunned, there were only three or forty of them in such a cavalry formation, they were no opponents at all.
"Go south, go to the riverside!" He Ze shouted loudly, and immediately turned his horse's head and galloped south, but Chen Nian was hesitant. Deputy General Chen was leading his troops to this side, if they followed He Ze like this Fleeing to Fuping Shuizhai, if Deputy General Chen could not get the news in time, he would only think that they were trapped in the enemy's line and desperately came to rescue them.She thought for a while, then turned around and asked Zheng Lun, "Is your injury serious?"
Although Zheng Lun saw blood in several places, it was caused by the rubbing of the arrow, and he only said: "Skin wounds, it's not a problem."
Due to time constraints, Chen Nian didn't have time to talk to him in detail, so he just asked: "Then let's go meet the iron cavalry of the Xian clan for a while, pass through their cavalry formation, and join up with Vice General Chen, okay? "
Her proposal was too bold, and Zheng Lun was taken aback: "The two of us?"
"Yes, just the two of us." Chen Nian smiled. She reined in her horse and stood up, holding the rein with one hand and holding a knife in the other. She turned slightly to talk to him, "The rest followed He Ze to the south, and the two of us followed behind." Block for them."
Among these people, the martial arts of the two of them are the only ones who can have a try like this.Zheng Lun's heart suddenly rose with great pride, and he laughed loudly: "Okay!"
In just a short while, the cavalry of the Xian family over there galloped a lot closer.He Ze galloped his horse for a certain distance, but he didn't see Chen Nian chasing him, so he couldn't help but turned around and glanced, seeing that the two of them were going to meet the Xian's cavalry, he was startled, and deliberately turned back to meet the enemy with the two of them, but this idea As soon as it emerged, it was suppressed by reason, only gritted its teeth, turned around and continued to flee south.
Besides, Bu Liuguxiao led troops out from the east gate, and went straight to the southwest, in order to stop Zheng Lun and He Ze and kill them.Seeing that the group of them were stopped, Bu Liuguxiao was naturally overjoyed, and when the other party turned and fled south, he couldn't help sneering to himself, and was about to chase them from behind, but unexpectedly, a horse charged forward .
Seeing this suicide-like action, the cavalrymen of the Xian clan who were charging forward were startled, and before they could react, the two of them rushed to the front of their horses.As the distance got closer, Bu Liuguxiao could clearly see the thin figure of the knight opposite, the silver mask covering his face, and those bright eyes.
Chennian, this is Chennian!Bu Liuguxiao was startled suddenly, and subconsciously turned the horse's head to the side.At this moment, Chen Nian jumped up suddenly, jumped high from the horse, raised the knife with both hands, and fell towards Bu Liuguxiao.Before the knife arrives, the wind of the knife has arrived, the murderous aura is overwhelming, and the chill is awe-inspiring.Shocked, Bu Liuguxiao hurriedly raised his saber to resist, and shouted: "Chen Nian!"
The two knives collided with each other, and there was a crisp sound, sparks were knocked out, and a strong force struck, making Bu Liuguxiao's arms go numb, and the scimitar could hardly be grasped.Chen Nian's body fell rapidly, as if he wanted to use this momentum to push him off the horse.Seeing her being so ignorant and merciless, Bu Liuguxiao felt a little annoyed, and put all his strength in a fit of anger, raising his knife to resist.
One move after another, as fast as lightning, the two of them just met each other, but Bu Liuguxiao saw a trace of cunning in Chen Nian's eyes.He was stunned for a moment, before he could react, Chen Nian tapped the horse's head with his toes, and jumped up again with his strength, flying past his head like a roc.
After Bu Liuguxiao reacted, looking back, Chen Nian's figure had already landed on another cavalry horse, and he did the same thing, using his strength to jump up again.Just a few ups and downs like this, in the blink of an eye, he went twenty or thirty feet away from the direction the cavalry was attacking.
When the cavalry brigade charged, they couldn't turn around immediately, and in order to avoid collisions with their own people, there was a distance between the horses and the horses.I don't want Chen Nian to take advantage of these two points, abandoning the horse under his body, he is erratic, and leaps forward. Although it is dangerous and dangerous, every time he lands on the horse, it is because the cavalry behind deliberately Even if you dodge, you can't avoid her.
Looking at Zheng Lun again, he was actually right next to Chen Nian.Among the thousands of troops, the two are like a pair of falcons, flying together or chasing each other. Although it is extremely thrilling, it is also full of fun.Halfway through the rush, Chen Nian's mind was agitated, and he couldn't help screaming, the zhenqi in his body moved more urgently, avoiding the scimitar swung by the cavalry, and directly stepped on top of his head, using his strength to jump, he went again. Then it flew several feet away.
Zheng Lun was aroused by her to be competitive, he jumped two or three times, and unexpectedly passed in front of Chen Nian.Chen Nian was very surprised. She has the endless internal strength of Wuyun Magic Art to achieve such a level. I don't want Zheng Lun to be so strong at such a young age. No wonder even Jing Yuxuan said that he is a martial arts genius .
Zheng Lun glanced at her, and said with a loud smile: "Let's compare and see who will rush through first, okay?"
"Okay." Chen Nian replied, before the voice fell, the man jumped forward again, grabbing the first opportunity.Even though she is already a top expert, she is still that little female bandit who loves to take advantage of others, Zheng Lun laughed out loud and followed closely.
The two chased all the way, and they rushed out almost at the same time. Zheng Lun landed earlier, but Chen Nian landed a little further ahead than him, and it was hard to tell the winner.Chen Nian glanced back and saw that Bu Liuguxiao was leading the cavalry vanguard in a big circle and turned around in the distance, and he smiled with Zheng Lun: "This time it's not just the two of us who are faster than each other." , I have to compare with them, whether the legs of the people are faster or the legs of the horses are faster."
The two dared not stop, and continued to rush forward.Although Zheng Lun's internal energy is profound, it is not as inexhaustible as Chen Nian's. After running for a while, his internal energy gradually became exhausted.Chen Nian saw it clearly, turned his head and said, "You lost."
Zheng Lun pursed his lips slightly, not to be outdone, and was about to grit his teeth and rush forward, but saw Chen Nian stretching out his hand to him, jokingly said: "Hurry up, slow down, be careful of being shot into a hedgehog."
She is open-minded, and at this moment only thinks of Zheng Lun as a comrade-in-arms.But Zheng Lun was not like her. He hesitated for a moment before reaching out to hold Chen Nian's hand. As soon as his fingertips touched her palm, he felt that his heartbeat seemed to be much faster, as if it would burst through his chest in the next moment. Jump out.
Chen Nian was so focused on running away that he didn't notice Zheng Lun's thoughts, so he grabbed his palm with his backhand.Zheng Lun only felt a upright and soft inner force coming from her palm and entering his meridians, which immediately revived his spirit.He was both happy and touched in his heart, for a moment he forgot that the two of them were running for their lives, and only hoped that they would keep running like this.
The two of them ran hand in hand and went straight for twenty or thirty miles before they saw Vice General Chen who came to meet him.Chen Nian dragged Zheng Lun and continued to run wildly, before he reached the front of the army, he shouted loudly: "Quick! Change formation to meet the enemy."
Deputy General Chen saw that both of them had come back safely, he was overjoyed, and rushed forward to greet them, shouting: "General! Thank you, Master!"
When it comes to forming troops, Zheng Lun is much stronger than Chen Nian.He let go of Chen Nian, jumped on the horse let out by his personal guards, and after a few orders, the army quickly changed into a combat formation.With [-] against [-], the situation immediately reversed.Chen Nian also found a new mount, rode close to Zheng Lun, and said suddenly: "Go to Liu Guxiao, I'll deal with it."
Zheng Lun was startled for a moment, but then he came to his senses, his heart sank, and he said in a low voice: "The two armies are fighting, you will die and live, there is no room for mercy."
Chen Nian turned his head slightly, glanced at him in surprise, and said, "What are you thinking? Your internal energy is almost exhausted at the moment, and you are no match for him at all. I will fight him for you. Why do you want to show mercy to him? ? If you don’t believe me, then you can go by yourself, and then you will be hurt by his knife, so don’t blame me.”
Zheng Lun choked for a while, but said in a cold voice: "I don't complain."
Chen Nian saw that he was so brave, it was really hard to understand, and felt that he was moody, and he felt a little displeased, so he simply rode his horse back to the side, ignored Zheng Lun, and only waited for him to be defeated by Lu Xiao. Watch him joke.
Besides, Bu Liuguxiao, who led the troops to chase after him, divided some of his troops and went south to chase He Ze, but he came to chase Chen Nian and Zheng Lun himself.Unexpectedly, the speed of the two of them was so fast that they left the cavalry far behind. After chasing a few miles east, they encountered the army of Xia people.
To fight or not to fight, these two thoughts collided in Bu Liuguxiao's mind.In the battle, there is a huge difference between one's own troops and the opponent's, and it is facing the enemy head-on, so there is almost no chance of winning.However, it can hold back the other party until the army behind them arrives.If you don't fight, although you lose your momentum, you preserve your strength.What's more, you can also make a retreat. If you can attract the opponent's pursuit, it will create an opportunity for the army in the city to take advantage of.
For a moment, Bu Liuguxiao hesitated.
According to historical records, the Taixing War in June of the fourth year of Xinwu began as a scuffle. Although both sides had their own plans in advance, the rhythm of the war was disrupted because the war started too suddenly.Zheng Lun's army had just arrived in the east of Taixing, and before they had time to rest, they were forced to start a war with the Xian family.The Xian family waited for work with leisure, and initially had the upper hand, but as the He family's navy crossed the river to join the battle, the situation suddenly reversed. In desperation, Bu Liuguxiao had to lead the army back to Taixing.
According to the previous calculation, it would not be difficult to capture Taixing with the combined efforts of Zheng Lun and He Ze. Unexpectedly, the siege battle had only just started two days, but the Xian clan's reinforcements suddenly appeared on the west side of Taixing.
The 10,000+ Xian clan reinforcements that fell from the sky were really unexpected by Zheng Lun and others.
Because Feng Junyang and others all expected that the Beimo soldiers would not fight to the death for the Xian clan to defend the city, they released the west side of Taixing to leave a retreat for the Beimo troops. The 10,000+ army of the Xian family was quietly dispatched, passed through the Xihu grassland, passed through Maocheng, Xiaogecheng, and Hamburg, and arrived in the west of Taixing without anyone noticing.
In this way, even if the [-] Beimo troops are not counted, the Xian clan's troops are already superior.It was also thanks to the fact that the Xian clan's reinforcements had come from afar, lacked in men and horses, and their combat power was damaged. This gave Zheng Lun and He Ze a chance to retreat.
He Ze led the army back to the river, intending to cross the river back to the water village, but unexpectedly, the navy ships parked by the river were attacked by the Xian clan, thousands of warships were burned, and in the night, the fire burst into the sky , The whole river is red.He Ze's retreat was cut off, followed by Xian's troops chasing after him. When the whole army was about to be annihilated, Chen Nian led the rebel cavalry to fight back, and inserted in a wedge-shaped formation from the left rear flank of the Xian's army, like a sharp knife, Vigorously tore a hole in the Xian's army's line, saved He Ze's army from heading northeast, and joined forces with Zheng Lun's army.
Fighting hard for days, everyone was in a mess, Zheng Lun was injured in the confrontation with Bu Liuguxiao, even Chen Nian was also slightly injured because he led the army to rescue He Ze.The cavalry attacked in a wedge formation. Although the penetrating power was extremely strong, at the same time, the general who was at the front was also the most dangerous. If it was not a last resort, no general would use this formation.
He Ze was well aware of the pros and cons of this array, and felt a little more grateful to Chen Nian, so he went to find her to thank her.Chen Nian's arm was shot by Liu Ya, and she was sitting on the ground letting Ling Que bandage her wound. When she saw He Ze coming, she only lifted her eyelids and glanced at him, and said calmly: "You don't need to thank me, saving you is not my intention, But it’s all about the bigger picture.”
He Ze smiled helplessly when he heard the words, turned a blind eye to Ling Que's white eyes, sat down on the floor opposite Chen Nian, and said, "I think we all underestimated Tuoba Yao, if we hadn't started the war early this time and accidentally hit and damaged his Plan, let his reinforcements come around behind you, I am afraid that our two armies will be lost in his hands."
Everyone's eyes were on Taixing City. If Xian's reinforcements sneaked around Taixing from the north and got behind Zheng Lun's army, when the time came to fight, they would face the enemy, not to mention saving He Ze, even themselves would be in trouble.
Chen Nian was indifferent, He Ze felt bored, and was about to get up and leave, but Zheng Lun had already come from a distance, and said in a deep voice: "My lord has led troops south, and they will arrive in a few days."
When the generals heard the news, they couldn't help showing joy on their faces. Feng Junyang came so quickly, which was beyond everyone's expectations. It must be that he got the news of Tuobayao's southward journey as soon as he returned to Yuzhou, so he was able to come so quickly. reaction.
However, He Ze twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Everyone, don't be so busy being happy, I'm afraid that Tuoba Yao also knows that King Yunxi's army is coming, and won't give us a chance to wait."
These words were like pouring a basin of cold water over their heads, extinguishing the joy of the generals.Tuoba Yao was willing to take the risk, and an army of 10,000+ traveled thousands of miles to the outside of Taixing City, in order to concentrate his forces to destroy Zheng Lun and He Ze, and then turn around and concentrate on dealing with Feng Junyang. Lu Dajun encircled Taixing.
Zheng Lun thought for a while and said: "Now that things have come to an end, instead of fleeing to the east, it is better to turn around and meet the pursuers. As long as you can persist for three to five days, when the prince's army arrives, you can turn the tide of the battle."
He Ze nodded: "Exactly."
Both of them said that, naturally many generals responded.Chen Nian was silent all the time, and when Zheng Lun turned to look at her, he said, "Even if we want to fight, we should go east and take advantage of the favorable terrain."
If Taixing goes east, it will enter the hilly area of Xiangzhou, with many mountains and low mountains. If they can lure the Xian family's pursuers there, their chances of winning will be increased by several percent.
He Ze pondered for a while, and replied: "More than 30 miles to the northeast from here, there is a short mountain called Yuanbao Mountain, where you can set up an ambush."
As soon as the words were finished, scouts galloped over and reported to Zheng Lun: "General, the army of the Xian family is chasing after us, and they are less than twenty miles away from our army."
It was only after dawn that the Xian clan's pursuers arrived.Everyone was shocked, Qi Qi looked at Zheng Lun, waiting for his decision.Zheng Lun said decisively: "Okay, then please General He lead the troops to set up an ambush there first, and I will lead the army here to block the pursuers, and then feign defeat and lead the enemy troops there."
He Ze responded, got on his horse, and left with the He family army.
Zheng Lun issued several military orders in a row, and all the generals led them away, preparing to form an array here to face the Xian family's pursuers.The rebel army led by Chen Nian came quietly to the north, hiding behind a gentle slope, and only waited for the Xian's army to fight Zheng Lun before rushing out from behind the enemy's side and attacking the enemy's formation.
This mission is much less dangerous than those that have to face the enemy head-on. Although Wen Daya is not afraid of death, he can't help but secretly get lucky, and whispered to Lingque beside him: "Then Zheng Lun is kind, no Tell our rebels to stand in the front and send his direct descendants to death."
In fact, from the time when Jizhou and Zheng Lun joined hands to fight against the Helan tribe of the Xian family, to the time they traveled westward to rescue Taixing, Zheng Lun has always been kind to the rebels, and his spirit is upright. It was his fault."
Wen Daya chuckled twice, and explained: "I'm just praising him."
Lingque didn't speak, but clamped the horse's belly with both legs, urging the horse to go forward to find Chennian.Fang Xun, who was beside Wen Daya, looked at it strangely, and couldn't help but move closer to Wen Daya, and asked in a low voice: "I see that Miss Lu has a good temper these days, and I don't know which sentence she didn't say correctly made her unhappy. I don't think so of her either."
Wen Daya turned his head to look at Fang Xun, opened his mouth, but his words changed when he got to the tip of his tongue, he was only surprised: "Is there? I think she has always been so straightforward."
Fang Xun is a person who is both rough and subtle, so it is natural to see that Wen Daya is pretending to be stupid with him, he smiled, but didn't say anything.
After a while, the ground in the south could be heard faintly trembling, and after a while, there was a sky-shattering cry of killing.Chen Nian couldn't help saying in a low voice: "It's time for a battle."
Lingque nodded lightly, remained silent for a moment, and suddenly asked Chen Nian, "Master, what if the general of the Xian family who led the troops to chase after him is Brother Lu?"
When Chen Nian heard the words, he turned to look at her.
Lingque's usually strong face suddenly showed a little confusion, she lowered her head unconsciously, and said softly: "Although I have been prepared to meet Brother Lu one day since the day I returned to Jiangbei, but when I really come back, I will wait for this day." When the time came, I was afraid again.”
If she is like this, what about the Chen Nian when she was more entangled with Lu Xiao?Lingque raised his eyes to look at Chen Nian, and asked, "Master, what were you thinking when you rescued General Zheng from brother Lu's knife that day?"
"What can you think about? At the beginning, I wanted to see Zheng Lun's jokes. Later, I thought about saving Zheng Lun as soon as possible. Don't let him be hacked by Lu Xiao." Chen Nian was slightly distracted, and the corner of his mouth The smile disappeared in an instant.In fact, she was not afraid of Lu Xiao leading troops here, her martial arts were better than him, and at worst she could capture him alive.What she was afraid of was that the person who came was not Lu Xiao, but her adoptive father, not Mu Zhanyue from Qingfeng Village, but Qiu Mu Lingyue, the left general of the Xian clan.
The scouts watching on the hillside had already made gestures, Chen Nian slowly closed his eyes, opened them again after a while, and shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
