The employment of generals on the battlefield is most complicated and the results are unpredictable. And people themselves are even more complex and changeable. Since ancient times, few leaders or regimes have been able to forcefully unify everyone's ideas from top to bottom. Therefore, it is difficult to truly understand whether a certain employment is appropriate until the critical moment.
At this moment, the wild Jurchens responsible for pulling up the rear team all worked hard, but in the end they got used to being careless and loose. Inadvertently, Pu Xian, who was responsible for inspecting the enemy's situation and preparing for his own "labor army" team, came out and fled behind the forest.
As soon as he arrived, he found that his front line was completely destroyed.
At this time, if an ordinary Xianping Prefecture soldier were here, he would immediately shout at the top of his lungs and alert the rear troops. Once the rear team fled, the companions watching in Xianping Mansion and even the scout cavalry sent outside the city suddenly saw the clues. Even if the disguised labor force was completely lost, the city could at least understand that He Shi Liehuan came well prepared. Enemy.
However, Pu Xian's appearance is not an ordinary pawn.
He has always been a proficient martial artist and a brave man. In recent years, he has made many meritorious deeds under the command of Pu Xianwannu. With his humble status as a Huli Gairen, he has become one of the eleven men of Xianping Prefecture. 1. He became the adopted son of the Liaodong Xuanfu envoy of the Jin Kingdom.
In this process, his status gradually increased, his knowledge gradually broadened, and he gradually gained more enjoyment in life. Although in the eyes of outsiders, he is still extremely fierce and maintains the attitude of Huli Gai Jurchen who completely ignores life and death. In fact, he has gradually understood the joy of living and begun to understand how to value his own life.
At this moment, although he was frightened and dazed, he did not speak immediately, but subconsciously chose to escape unscathed.
He was confident in his own skills, so he thought it shouldn't be difficult.
After all, there is such a small woodland, which is not only the enemy's reliance on attack, but also the reliance on one's own escape. As long as you use the cover of the forest and retreat a few feet back along the winding path, you can hide in the shadows. Then, find an opportunity to grab a horse and run back to the city! We have our companions to help us along the way, so it’s not difficult!
However, he only took three or five steps back before he felt a slight sting on his back, like a needle prick.
The enemy has a back-up plan in the forest!
Someone has been following me... now holding a short knife and not moving, just waiting for me to hit me! How can such destructive methods be found in the military? It's definitely a mountain bandit method, this guy is a veteran! He is a cruel person!
With this thought in his mind, Pu Xian was not slow at all in taking the stage. He pounced forward with all his strength. While he was still in the air, he drew his sword and swung it back with his backhand.
When he rushed forward, a sharp blade penetrated half an inch into his back and was pulled out from the wound, bringing out a trace of blood.
The man who attacked with a knife also reacted very quickly, and rushed forward immediately after Pu Xian came out.
The blades swung by the two of them each flew in the air, and a few sparks burst out.
Pu Xian came out of the stage and fell to the ground. Then he put one hand on the ground and twisted his waist, and swung the knife across in front of him again.
This time, it didn't hit the opponent's blade, but hit the raised iron wrist guard. Pu Xian's physical strength was astonishing. When performing martial arts in the army, he wielded a heavy sword with all his strength and was able to cut off the head of an ox. But when the sword was struck, it was very powerful at first, but halfway through, it lost its power and only left a deep mark on the wrist guard.
At this moment, Pu Xian's strength to take the stage quickly disappeared.
No matter how quick his reaction was, if he was suddenly attacked from behind and had to turn back to deal with it, his movements would inevitably be a bit slow. When two daggers intersect, this is the only difference between life and death.
Pu Xian came out and the short knife in his hand fell to the ground.
There is a little pain in the throat, but it is not severe, at least, not as severe as expected.
There was a chill in his chest, which was the feeling of air flowing directly into his lungs through the gap in his trachea. It's so hot in the summer, but the air rushes into the lungs quickly, and it still feels very cold. And his chin, neck and chest were all hot, and the warm blood with body temperature was gushing out from the throat wound and splashing everywhere.
Soon, the blood in his throat poured into his lungs, and he began to breathe hard. He reached for his throat and even tore at it, but it was no use. His vision soon turned black and he collapsed to the ground, motionless.
Li Ting shook off his left wrist guard, which was almost cut into two pieces. He felt severe pain in the muscles and bones of his wrist, and blood oozed from the surface of his skin.
This guy is so strong! Thinking that he was just a hair away from breaking his wrist, he couldn't help but feel guilty and gasped.
After taking out the air-conditioning, Li Ting raised his head proudly and returned to his usual proud and menacing look.
He raised his foot, wiped the blade of the knife with the sole of his shoe, sheathed the knife, and then shouted in a low voice: "Hurry up! Are you so slow to change clothes!"
In the forest to the side, the soldiers who dragged the corpse back to the forest were busy taking off the clothing of the gang leader and putting it on themselves one by one. Some people also picked up the wine, meat and other items scattered on the ground, using their burdens as usual. Pick.
"Don't make a mistake about the number of people! Too much or too little will not work!" someone reminded.
Immediately, someone cursed in a low voice: "Two pieces of clothing are stained with blood! They are all red and cannot be worn!"
"There are only two people missing, so why panic!" Li Ting said in a low voice: "Hurry, hurry, hurry! You go forward first, the second team is coming from behind!"
Just as he was speaking, the sounds of the group of wild Jurchens and yellow-headed Jurchens behind the forest, clamoring for wine and food, were getting closer and closer.
Everyone acted quickly.
Three miles away from the forest, a sentry rider from Xianping Prefecture reined in his horse and crossed the deep grass, taking a few steps forward.
"What's the matter?" his companion asked warily.
The cavalryman was a little doubtful, so he put up a pergola and looked south.
The reward team sent to Heshi Liehuan Duan's army was within his sight throughout except for a small woodland directly south. This woodland is not large in size. It would take less than half a moment to go around the woodland based on the walking distance, but what is happening now...
"Why is there no movement? Where are our people?" he asked his companions.
His companion also rode up and squinted his eyes to take a look: "Perhaps he ate it behind the woods?"
The cavalryman shook his head, and when he looked around again, he saw more than ten people at the front of his own team walking one after another, carrying huge wine jars and burdens with pigs and sheep, heading towards the direction of the Chinese army where Heshi Liehuanduan was.
In the direction of the Chinese army, a group of Fuzhou generals walked quickly to greet them, and some people laughed exaggeratedly. This guy's laugh was ugly and full of energy, and you could vaguely hear it even from a long distance away.
no problem. He breathed a sigh of relief, everything went well.
He said to his companion: "The two families have to be polite for a while. Whether we can succeed depends on whether the officers from Fuzhou will agree to the invitation to the city. You continue to watch, and I will return first to report the Qianhu and let him prepare. .”
"Okay, I'll keep watching, you go ahead!"
The sentry rider turned his horse back and ran for a mile along a hillock. He passed through the gap in the hillock, crossed a wooden bridge, and rushed into the majestic city. A guard had already come forward to catch him. He swung his stirrup and dismounted, walking along the The footpath runs up to the tower.
Pu Xian, who was in charge of the city's defense, pressed the button and asked, "How is it?"
The sentry knight opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment. Some special information seemed to flash through his mind. But he didn't think much about it, and bowed and said: "The lieutenants and generals of the Fuzhou Army were all happy to see the food and wine of the labor army, and there were also generals from the direction of the Chinese Army who greeted them joyfully. You two Meng'an, I thought everything was going well ahead. The generals of the state army will definitely be invited to the city."
"As long as everything goes well." Pu Xian laughed twice: "We looked at it from the top of the city and thought it went well."
Pu Xianbing, who was covered in iron armor and had green eyes and yellow hair, folded his hands on his chest and said in a low voice: "It went really well."
