Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 427
Li Wenxuan saw that Mingzhu was not injured, but looked a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but said: "You... I told you not to come out, why didn't you listen!"

Mingzhu snorted softly, took Zidian and Qingshuang from her waist, and stuffed them heavily on Li Wenxuan's chest. This meant that Li Wenxuan naturally fully understood that Mingzhu was taking a risk to give her a sword, and suddenly she felt all kinds of things in her heart, and said in a low voice : "I... I'm sorry, I shouldn't blame you."

Mingzhu blinked, but she was not angry, then took off the bow and arrow behind her, put her left arm on Li Wenxuan's shoulder, and drew the bow and arrow with her right hand, shooting six arrows in a row, all the arrows were fired, the cavalry behind fell off their horses one after another, and the remaining cavalry both sides The distance is getting farther and farther, and the distance from the other party's camp is getting closer and closer, and he dare not chase any more, so he has to leave in resentment.

Li Wenxuan saw that Mingzhu's arrow skills are amazing, and he couldn't help but praise him sincerely: "It turns out that your arrow skills are so powerful. If it were me, I would not be able to hit even a fifty-step target."

Seeing that the pursuers were no longer approaching, Mingzhu breathed a long sigh of relief. Hearing Li Wenxuan's praise, she was secretly happy, and simply took advantage of the situation to hug Li Wenxuan and said, "You call me sister, and I will teach you archery."

According to Tie Ling'er, Mingzhu is several hours older than Li Wenxuan's birthday, and he jokingly called Li Wenxuan Mingzhu's sister, but joking is a joke, the word "sister" is difficult for Li Wenxuan to say, especially when he thinks of Mingzhu. Li Wenxuan felt even more awkward about those words and deeds.

Seeing that Li Wenxuan didn't like this, Mingzhu said again: "You promised me before that you wouldn't do anything with them, but what's going on here? You don't mean anything!"

Li Wenxuan said with a wry smile: "We're evenly matched." But when he said this, he moved Mingzhu to take the risk of sending the sword, but in his heart he was glad that nothing happened to Mingzhu just now, otherwise he would be to blame even if he died up.

Li Wenxuan rushed all the way into the camp with Mingzhu in his arms, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Zhuiyue to meet him. Seeing that the two of them were intact, he was finally relieved, but he couldn't help but reprimanded: "You... ...You guys are too reckless!"

Zhuiyue took the two of them to Jin Wushu's big tent, and told Li Wenxuan the general situation as they walked, saying that after the rebels encircled all the [-] soldiers and horses, all of them belonged to Jin Wushu's dispatch. Agui and Longqiang are now Staying by Jin Wushu's side, as for Longji, Longjun and others, they were all sent to protect the emperor. If they couldn't stop the rebels from charging, they would desperately protect the emperor to break through.

Arriving at Jin Wushu's tent of the Chinese army, more than a dozen generals had already been seated here. When Jin Wushu saw Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu, he nodded slightly and asked, "How are you two? Are you injured?"

Li Wenxuan said: "Fortunately, he was not injured. I wanted to take Wan Yanchang's life, but it was a little short, but he should have been seriously injured!"

Jin Wushu's eyes flashed brightly, and he asked, "What? Wan Yanchang was injured?"

So Li Wenxuan told the brief story of assassinating Jin Wushu just now, and Jin Wushu also felt a little pity, and couldn't help thinking of the process of Li Wenxuan assassinating him three times that day, and smiled wryly: "You, it's a pity...it's a pity...every time Not so much."

Chasing Moon asked: "Marshal, what should we do now? Half an hour is about to pass, if Wan Yanchang becomes angry and really rushes over, there is a huge difference in the strength of the enemy and us, it doesn't matter if we die in battle, in case something happens... ..." Zhuiyue said here, not daring to continue, but everyone present understood what he said next.

Jin Wushu frowned and pondered, and the rest of the generals offered their advice one after another. Some advocated to stand firm and wait for reinforcements; The emperor broke through, but Jin Wushu just shook his head, and when they raised an opinion, others immediately refuted it. Although these generals were not afraid of death, they were all loyal, but it was still difficult to unify their opinions.

After a while, Jin Wushu breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "Since Wan Yanchang was almost stabbed to death by nephew Wenxuan just now, why don't we let him die again?"

None of the generals understood the meaning of Jin Wushu, Jin Wushu smiled and said: "The key point of fifty thousand rebels is only Wan Yanchang alone, as long as one of them is killed, the rebellion can be suppressed, but just accepted it." Frightened, Wan Yanchang must have become a frightened bird at this time. According to my guess, he has probably hid in the rear army now, and the guards guarding him must also follow him. It is almost impossible to assassinate him with one man and one horse But that’s exactly the case. Most of the Chinese army’s large formation in front is empty with a commander’s flag, and the elite also withdrew with Wan Yanchang. Since there are few major generals there, we will find someone who is about the same size as Wan Yanchang from outside later. , change him into a general's robe, cut off his appearance, and then send [-] light cavalry straight to the central army, and at the same time, [-] heavy cavalry will press on later. Hang this corpse on the commander-in-chief flag, and then thousands of people shouted at the same time, 'The rebels obey the order, Wan Yanchang will be punished, and those who surrender will not be killed!', the remaining rebels will naturally collapse without fighting!"

After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads repeatedly, thinking that what Jin Wushu said was wonderful, but Jin Wushu said: "However, there is still a difficulty in this plan, that is, the soldiers and horses who charge first, if there are too many soldiers and horses in this group, , It is bound to attract the rebels on both sides to encircle, and the casualties will be exhausted before rushing to the center. If there are too few, it will be difficult to accomplish anything, so I only selected 1000 people, and I want to rely on these 1000 people to rush to the center. The army is really not an easy task, and the four thousand heavy cavalry behind can only be dispatched when the forward is about to kill the central army, otherwise it will attract siege, and if they fail to respond, they will be encircled and suppressed instead, so this trip is very important. Dangerous, especially for the thousand vanguard troops, if they are a little careless, the entire army may be wiped out."

Long Qiang stepped forward and said: "Commander, let me fight this striker. If I don't kill the flag of the rebel commander, I will die!"

Jin Wushu nodded slightly, but didn't say much, Li Wenxuan paused, and said: "Why don't I go with General Dragon Spear, just now I've arrived near Wan Yanchang's commander-in-chief, and I finally understand their formation. It can help General Dragon Spear."

Jin Wushu laughed, as if he had been waiting for Li Wenxuan to speak, and said, "Okay! But, remember, the enemy is outnumbered, and we only want to capture the flag, not kill the enemy!"

Mingzhu suddenly said: "Marshal, I'm going too!"

Jin Wushu stopped smiling, and said: "You left the camp without authorization just now, and you should have been dealt with by military law. Considering that you are Princess Yilan's guard now, this is an exception. You only need to protect the princess well now, and you don't need to worry about other things. Think about it, if there is no military order, you can't leave the camp half a step!"

Hearing Ming Zhu being reprimanded by Jin Wushu, Li Wenxuan was very upset. He didn't expect that Mingzhu violated the military law of Jin Wushu to give him a sword.

Chasing Moon saw Ming Zhu being scolded by Jin Wushu, and knowing that she missed Li Wenxuan, he said, "Marshal, why don't you also let me go with Dragon Spear. What a chance."

Jin Wushu said: "Okay, Longqiang, you can arrange it now, send troops as soon as possible, and send orders to all the soldiers. After this battle, everyone will be rewarded!"

Dragon Spear got the order, and immediately retreated together with Li Wenxuan and Zhuiyue. Mingzhu looked at Li Wenxuan reluctantly. But he secretly prayed that they and his party would not suffer any damage.

In just one stick of incense, the dragon spear fired a thousand cavalry. Except for the first hundred or so cavalry who wore heavy armor, the cavalry behind were all lightly armed.

No drums, no trumpets.This team of cavalry quietly left the camp and walked with bound feet. Li Wenxuan, Longqiang, and Chasing the Moon stood side by side. Li Wenxuan smiled and said: "Life is really unpredictable. Let's fight together."

Long Qiang smiled and said, "What's the matter? Why don't we go ahead and compete?"

Chasing Moon said: "That's right, let's compare, why don't we compare who can rush to Shuai's banner first?"

Li Wenxuan and Longqiang agreed in unison, Li Wenxuan thought for a while and then said: "But it's better to add another bet, let's see who can take down Wan Yanchang's head!"

The thousand cavalry marched slowly under the protection of the night. Seeing that they were about to be discovered by the opponent as they walked forward, the dragon gun waved and called the heavy armored cavalry to step forward. Charge forward, wait until the heavy cavalry rushes forward for about 20 feet, the dragon gun waved back, and the rest of the light cavalry rushed forward after being rooted in heavy cavalry.

The actions of these 1000 troops were no worse than Li Wenxuan's walking alone. The heavy cavalry in front hadn't gone far, and they were greeted with a burst of arrows from the opposite side. Even though they were protected by heavy armor, more than a dozen cavalry fell to the ground, but Because of the attraction of heavy cavalry, the light cavalry behind did not suffer any damage.

The second wave of arrows passed, and dozens of people were damaged, but the heavy cavalry in front also rushed to the front of the rebel formation. Alas, blood and flesh were churning, and in the gap, I saw a flood of infantry rushing in with swords. I don't know how many people in that group of heavy cavalry can survive.

Long Qiang shouted: "Seize the commander-in-chief's flag, punish the rebels!" He took the lead, took advantage of the gap that the heavy cavalry had just rushed in before closing, took the opportunity to rush in, and killed with the infantry, Li Wenxuan and Chasing the moon followed closely behind , the more than 800 light cavalry also took the opportunity to enter, and the sound of killing immediately shook the sky. Although the dragon gun only brought a thousand soldiers and horses, these 1000 people were all elite troops carefully selected by the dragon gun. Not afraid of death, they were very brave. The rebels were a little caught off guard by the attack of this brave man, and they retreated again and again. They were rushed into the Chinese army after a short while, but at the same time, more than [-]% of the soldiers and horses brought by the dragon gun were lost .

Seeing that Yan Chang's handsome flag is in sight, but the heavy armored infantry under the handsome flag is also extremely fierce, each with spears and strong shields, chasing the moon and leading people to charge several times, they are not allowed to enter, and nearly a hundred soldiers were lost. He was also slightly injured.

Seeing more and more rebels surrounding him, Li Wenxuan raised his hand and said, "Dragon Gun, let me give you a helping hand!"

Long Qiang understood and said: "Okay!" Then he jumped to where Li Wenxuan was, Li Wenxuan bowed slightly, then dragged the soles of Long Qiang's feet, and added a force to him from the volley, and he just sent Long Qiang to these people. Behind the heavy armored infantry.

Facing the fierce general who descended out of thin air, these infantrymen were caught off guard. Before they could turn around, the red-eyed Dragon Spear killed seven or eight of them from behind. Li Wenxuan followed suit and sent Chasing Moon in. The two of them Working together, not only were the soldiers unable to get close to them, but the soldiers guarding outside were also thrown into disarray. With the sharpness of the Qingshuang Sword, Li Wenxuan led the soldiers behind to break through a gap. The bigger the bigger, more than 400 people all rushed in. Immediately, Longqiang didn't hesitate anymore, picked up the corpse that had been prepared a long time ago, and jumped onto the flagpole of Shuaiqi, but before he could hang up the corpse, they came from all directions The arrows of the arrows suppressed the Dragon Spear.

Seeing that there was only one step away from success, Li Wenxuan said: "Let me try!" Immediately took the fake Wan Yanchang, jumped up lightly, holding the flagpole in one hand, and the rolled handsome flag in the other. The whole body danced airtightly, and knocked down the arrows one by one. Finally, there was a gap in the middle, and without any hesitation, he hung the fake Wanyan Chang on the flagpole, and at the same time, the dragon gun was also lit. Dozens of torches that had already been prepared were lit up, and the commander's flag was brightly lit at once, and the situation on the commander's flag was very clear in the army formation. The bloody "Wanyanchang" hung up against the flames and blood all over his body. It's weird and terrifying that can't be described on the handsome flag.

The rebels near the handsome flag were all stunned when they saw this situation. The fire was flickering in the dark night, and the faces of the people on the handsome flag were unclear, but the general's robes were clearly visible, and they all felt uneasy in their hearts. Then hundreds of voices were heard shouting at the same time: "The rebel army obeys the order, Wan Yanchang will be punished, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

The rebels felt weird long ago when they saw this scene, and after hearing the deafening roar, they had no other thought, and decided that the corpse hanging on the handsome flag was Wanyan Changji, and they were in a mess, and each of them had no intention of fighting again. , the soldiers and horses that followed the Dragon Spear left more than 200 people to stand around the commander-in-chief flag, and the rest of the troops covered and killed the nearby rebels who were still resisting. , the two troops gathered, morale was high, thousands of people fought and shouted: "The rebels obey the order, Wan Yanchang will be punished, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

In this curse-like shout, the surrounding rebels no longer wanted to fight and surrendered one after another. After a while, most of the [-] rebels surrendered, and only a small number of people in the rear were dying recalcitrant.

The soldiers and horses of the rear army are all Wan Yanchang's cronies. After Wan Yanchang was wounded, he moved to the rear army. Li Wenxuan ordered another thousand soldiers and horses to rush forward, vowing to capture Yan Chang.

Before rushing to the front, Li Wenxuan had already seen Wan Yanchang commanding the defeated army to counterattack on the horse, but the defeat was already settled, not to mention that the rebels thought he was dead in battle, even if they knew that he was still alive, they had no intention of fighting again , the situation is irreversible.

Wan Yanchang saw Longqiang and Li Wenxuan leading the army to kill him from a distance, and when he was on the brink of failure, he hated the sky for not helping him, and retreated with more than a hundred relatives. Longqiang wanted to catch up, but there were still more than 2000 rebels fighting to the death Retreat, but can't rush to kill for a while.On the other hand, Li Wenxuan, because with his fast horse and sharp sword, he rushed all the way like entering no one's land, and broke through the defense line of the two thousand rebels in a blink of an eye.

Li Wenxuan shouted to Longqiang: "Watch me get his dog's head!" Then he chased in the direction Wan Yanchang retreated.

Li Wenxuan chased for more than 20 miles, and finally saw the remnants of Wan Yanchang's defeated generals. Wan Yanchang saw Li Wenxuan chasing him, and there were only a hundred or so people around him at this time. He was unwilling to confront Li Wenxuan head-on, and immediately stayed behind. A dozen or so people stopped Li Wenxuan, but although these soldiers were brave, their martial arts were mediocre, how could they stop them?After several rounds of fighting with Li Wenxuan, they were either killed or injured, and fell off their horses one after another.

Wan Yanchang turned pale with fright, and after running wildly, he left several waves of people intermittently, but these people only stopped Li Wenxuan a little bit, and it didn't seem to have much effect.

In the end, Wan Yanchang gritted his teeth, and kept all the more than 60 sergeants around him, telling them to stop Li Wenxuan, while he fled all the way to Xinzhou with his fast horse.

The more than 60 sergeants left this time are not weak in martial arts. It really took Li Wenxuan a lot of effort. Chase all the way south.

Li Wenxuan chased for more than 100 miles. Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, he suddenly felt that Wanyan Heng's defeated general would not dare to follow the official path again, and thought that since Wanyan Chang dared to rebel, he must have had a lot of wings. Now that he is escaping, He probably wanted to find someone to help him. The biggest place nearby was Xinzhou, so Li Wenxuan went up the small road to Xinzhou, and after chasing for more than two hours, he finally saw a person in front of him staggering on horseback. The figure from behind is Wan Yanchang.

Li Wenxuan shouted: "Wan Yanchang, take your life!"

Wan Yanchang fought last night, and his army was defeated like a mountain. His soldiers either surrendered or died in battle. Wan Yanchang felt extremely sad, and then he was chased by Li Wenxuan all the way, killing all the guards around him. After the Daoist Juechen, who could rival Li Wenxuan, was defeated in the martial arts competition, he scolded him severely, and left in a rage, and suddenly heard Li Wenxuan's roar, and the seven souls were so scared that the three souls disappeared. A burst of colic, unexpectedly blacked out, and fell off the horse.

When Li Wenxuan was feeling happy, he laughed loudly, chased after him, and shouted: "Wan Yanchang! Don't pretend to be dead on the ground! Get up!"

But Wan Yanchang lay motionless on the ground, Li Wenxuan felt strange, got off his horse and looked, it turned out that Wan Yanchang was not breathing, and his heart was not beating, he was frightened to death.

Li Wenxuan originally wanted to chop off his head, but seeing that he was dead, he didn't want to spoil his body anymore, and planned to take it back and hand it over to Jin Wushu.

After a night of chasing and fighting, Li Wenxuan had left Shangjing for more than 400 miles without knowing it. Fortunately, the black horse and Wan Yanchang's mounts were both good horses. Otherwise, if they had changed to ordinary war horses, they would have been so tired that they would be foaming at the mouth up.The big event has been decided, although Li Wenxuan intends to go back to report earlier, but he is afraid of exhausting the black horse, and he is also very tired, so he collapsed on the grass by the side of the road and rested for two hours, while the two mounts grazed beside it.Then he remembered that there were many wine bags behind the saddle, took them off and drank happily, and even fed some to the black horse, then took Wan Yanchang's body and patted the horse back to Beijing.
