The days in early September are already noticeably shorter. Yang Miaozhen was on the battlefield where the two armies were chasing each other, and felt that time passed too slowly.
When Yang Miaozhen retreated to the south toward Liuzi Town, he was recognized by a cavalry commander among the pursuers. So the hundreds of pursuers started biting and chasing like mad dogs.
Yang Miaozhen once again led a counterattack, intending to push the group of dogs back a little distance, but they only fought for a moment before pretending to be unable to withstand the enemy and retreating backwards. Yang Miaozhen didn't realize it was a trick at first, so he followed her a few more steps. When she was about to rein in her horse, Xie Lie Mingding personally led his elite cavalry and came shouting for a kill. They disappeared like rain.
The fierce fighting sound attracted the attention of the Jin army scattered around.
The officers of the Jin Army had always had various speculations about the famous Fourth Lady in the Red Coat Army, and now they were even more excited. They urged troops from all directions to kill her, intending to cut off her retreat. They shouted, "Capture the Fourth Lady alive, capture Yang Miaozhen alive." "
Yang Miaozhen rushed to kill several times, but the horse suddenly lost its front foot and fell forward, knocking her off.
The world was spinning before her eyes, and she felt severe pain in her left arm. The spear was thrown out, and she didn't know where it landed.
Just as he rolled to his feet, a Jin soldier suddenly sprang out from the nearby trees and slashed with his sword.
Yang Miaozhen pulled out his dagger and blocked the big knife, then took a step forward and stabbed the Jin Jun to death. But she was really exhausted, and she used enough strength this time. After slicing the enemy's throat with the dagger, she continued to swing it diagonally, causing her body to stagger forward, and the dagger pierced the tree.
In an instant, another enemy stabbed him with a gun. Yang Miaozhen didn't care about drawing the sword, dodged to avoid the thrust, then grabbed the gun barrel and tried to use it.
Unexpectedly, perhaps because the gun-wielding Jin Jun was too strong, she couldn't take it away, and another Jin Jun rushed out from behind the bushes.
In a hurry, she released her right hand that had grasped the gun barrel. The Jin Jun who was trying to snatch the gun from her couldn't stand and fell to the sky.
She turned sideways and punched the advancing Jin soldier in the face. Just as she was about to step forward to snatch his sword, another Jin soldier suddenly rushed from behind and hugged her around the waist.
At the same time, several soldiers ran towards her, cheering repeatedly: "Caught a bitch! Caught Yang Miaozhen!"
Yang Miaozhen struggled several times, unable to escape. In panic, she suddenly gained strength and could move her left hand. She twisted her waist violently, turned her backhand, and stabbed into Sergeant Jin's eye socket with the index and middle fingers of her left hand.
Her fingers felt slightly cold, as if something like tofu had been smashed, and wetness flowed into the palm of her hand. The Jin Jun screamed loudly and rolled around on the ground, covering his face.
Several Jin soldiers who had planned to pounce on him were startled by this scene and stopped and cursed: "You bitch is so vicious!"
They stopped for a moment, and several of Yang Miaozhen's subordinates came up from behind. Someone led an ownerless war horse on the battlefield and shouted: "Four ladies, get on your horse quickly! Let's go quickly!"
Yang Miaozhen jumped on his horse and whipped his whip repeatedly.
The red-coat sergeant who led Yang Miaozhen's horse followed closely behind him. After running for a few steps, he was shot to death by the enemy.
Yang Miaozhen galloped for a while. Perhaps because the enemy troops were gathering from all sides, he relaxed his outflanking pursuit and could only hear the shouts of the pursuers behind him gradually moving away.
The sun finally set, and within two or three miles nearby, there began to be heard the sound of birds flying into the forest. The evening smoke flowed between the mountains, and the dusk suddenly became dim.
Yang Miaozhen took advantage of the last dim light and saw in a gorge, his own soldiers wearing red military jackets were jumping and waving.
She had no strength at all, so she held the saddle and headed towards the valley. Before she entered the valley, she fell into a drowsy state and lost consciousness.
When I woke up, it was already midnight. There are thick shadows in the mountains, and it is so dark that it is difficult to tell which is the vegetation, which is the bamboo, which is the rock, and the air is filled with the smell of blood and sweat.
Yang Miaozhen felt a splitting headache. She had no strength at all, and could hardly lift her arms and legs. She reluctantly adjusted her stiff sitting posture, and the hard lumps of plaster and blood on her face and body fell slowly with her movements.
The good news is that there is no broken bone in the left arm, but a bruised muscle. Be careful not to move again, you may be able to recover tomorrow or the next day.
She reluctantly raised her head and looked at the heights, where she found a soldier carefully guarding her. _o_m
Had some snacks.
Just as he was about to get up, he heard a young soldier crying non-stop not far away. Someone kept trying to persuade him: "Okay, okay. I'm still alive at last, isn't it good to be alive?".
The one who was crying was probably a recruit who had been recently drafted.
Before the Red Coat Army invaded Henan, they gathered volunteers near Dongping Mansion on the East and West Road of Shandong Province. Many men who relied on their bravery or poor people who had deep hatred against the Jin Dynasty court joined the army at that time.
However, the cruelty of the real killing field far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people. Yang Miaozhen has seen with her own eyes that some people who are usually brave are so frightened that they collapse to the ground and urinate and excrement.
Although the soldier beside him was crying, he still persisted in this defeat for a long time. Yang Miaozhen did not despise him.
She wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she heard the soldier push away the companion who was comforting him and shouted: "I'm not afraid of death! I'm hateful! It's hate!"
The soldier's helmet was crooked, his shoulders and legs were hit by several arrows, and he was covered in blood. He pushed his companion away and immediately fell to the ground, hissing to himself:
"The people who are fighting with us these days are all Han children! Did you see? Those are all Han children! The Jurchens are our enemies, but the soldiers on the Henan Road, those Han children, came to kill us! They are just for If you have a mouthful of food, you will become a dog for the Jurchens! Come and kill us!"
Yang Miaozhen sighed and walked to the other side of the valley. @*~~
Yang Miaozhen had been thinking about the issue that made this soldier furious for a long time, and many soldiers in the Red Coat Army had also thought about it.
In this world, some people always remember the hatred against the Kingdom of Jin, thinking that the time will be lost and you will all perish; some people do not remember those blood feuds and just want to live. The former is certainly a hero, but the latter is not necessarily wrong.
However, as the world continues to become chaotic day by day, how can we live as long as we want? Those Han men really thought that they would be able to live a good life after repelling the Red Coat Army? Do you really think those Jurchen nobles in the Dajin court have conscience?
Thinking of this, Yang Miaozhen only felt ridiculous.
She stepped on the gravel at the bottom of the valley and walked slowly and aimlessly. Not long after walking, there was a flash of fire in front of her. She ducked to the side of the cliff covered by vines. Then she saw a group of soldiers holding pine torches hurried forward along the narrow road in the mountain. The two generals at the head were actually Guo Yaoer and Liu Quan.
Guo Yao'er was originally Yang An'er's personal general, but was later transferred to Mizhou as the commander-in-chief. When Yang An'er sent his troops into Huaishang, he was worried about the insufficient supply of grain and materials, so he asked Guo Yao'er to escort a batch of materials from Mizhou to Pizhou and send them to the front line at any time.
Liu Quan is the uncle of Yang An'er and Yang Miaozhen. After Yang An'er became king, he became the commander of the pro-army forces. After Yang An'er was attacked at Longshan Temple, Liu Quan led his people to respond and covered the seriously injured Yang An'er as he retreated. Yang Miaozhen had previously agreed with him that the two sides should fight in Xuzhou and They met at Shuanggou Town at the junction of Pizhou and then led the troops to retreat together.
How did the second general get here?
Yang Miaozhen quietly followed the soldiers' queue. I saw the second general rushing all the way to the west side of the canyon. When he saw someone, he asked: "Is the fourth lady here? Have you seen the fourth lady?"
The shocked soldiers couldn't answer at all, but some people complained and made noise, almost having a conflict with the soldiers.
The second general asked around and found out that Yang Miaozhen once rested here, but now he is somewhere.
Liu Quan was old. After running for a while, he fell down on a stone, stroking his chest and unable to stand up for a while.
But Guo Yao'er was still unwilling to accept it. He sent his soldiers to explore the front of the canyon. He followed the way he came and asked the soldiers one by one.
Step by step as we walked into the back side of the canyon, a person suddenly appeared in front of our eyes, which startled Guo Yao'er.
The man asked: "Uncle Biter, why are you here?"
Guo Yao'er recognized Yang Miaozhen's face through the moonlight, laughed twice, and suddenly shed tears. He took Yang Miaozhen's arm and walked forward. As he walked, he shouted: "Old Liu, I found your niece!"
Yang Miaozhen followed Guo Yao'er, walking one step deeper than the other, and asked hurriedly: "You haven't said anything yet, Uncle Jie'er, why are you here?"
"This defeat was too sudden. At this moment, all the armies collapsed, and all parts of Shandong collapsed! It was reported yesterday that Fang Guosanna had occupied Dongping Mansion and was merging with Zhan Hui; Li Quan seized Yidu, Binzhou, etc.
In the land, the Jin Kingdom's Xuanfu envoy from Hebei was surrendered; Shi Qing and others gathered in Tengzhou and plundered the Xupei area. Liu Erzu originally gathered troops in Jizhou, but now he took his Taishan tribe and went directly into the mountains! "
Guo Yao'er took a few anxious breaths and continued: "I have very few troops in Pizhou, and I dare not confront Shi Qing's fellows, so I led my troops westward to try to meet you, and then do the district affairs... We don't want to If you get entangled with Jin Jun again, you have to leave quickly, otherwise you will be in trouble if you are late!"
Yang Miaozhen suddenly heard this series of bad news and felt his head buzzing.
She murmured: "My brother just lost the battle, why are they so eager to rebel? What will they look like when my brother returns..."
Having said this, Guo Yao'er stomped on his feet.
Looking ahead, Liu Quan hurried over. @·无码First release~~Yang Miaozhen didn’t see clearly just now, but now he realized that the veteran looked extremely haggard, and his hair and beard were all white.
Guo Yao'er said in a bitter voice: "So the fourth lady... still doesn't know?"
"What?"
"Marshal Yang died of his injuries a few days ago. Our red coat army has dispersed."
Yang Miaozhen felt that the ground beneath her feet was shaking. She held onto the cliff and asked in confusion, "What?"
