Wanyan Wushu's proposal to marry the Xixia princess was a major diplomatic event of the highest order for the Kingdom of Jin.
The Kingdom of Jin had no relations with Xixia before. In terms of friendship, Xixia and Liao were natural allies. With Aguda's scheming, he had to be extremely well-prepared when sending his son.
Therefore, in addition to the three thousand Jurchen warriors who accompanied Wanyan Wushu to Xixia, there were also eight brave generals carefully selected by Aguda.
These eight people are truly extraordinary!
The first one is Wendy Hen Atuhan, a veteran of the Jurchen Wendy Hen Division.
This man put on armor and went into battle at the age of seventeen. He has made numerous meritorious deeds over the decades, especially in the battle of Huanglong Mansion. He wore dozens of wounds, but he still bravely took the lead, and his bravery ranked first among the entire army. Although he is now sixty-five years old Despite his age, he can still go into battle to kill enemies, and he has a lot of experience in killing. He is the backbone of the people who are sent to Xixia as envoys.
The next one was Pucha Wulie, a brave general of the Pucha tribe of the Jurchen descendants. This man was the cousin of Empress Pucha, Aguda's wife. He was regarded as the uncle in the name of Wushu. He was a refined man and had excellent martial arts skills.
The third one is Wushu's serious uncle - Wushu's biological mother is the Yuanfei of the Jin Kingdom, a noble daughter of the Ugulun tribe. His younger brother Ulusaba is a famous Jurchen eagle shooter who can shoot Haidong with bows and arrows. The green flying feathers do not harm the body.
The fourth one is named Pei Mantu Ni. This man has superb equestrian skills, as if he were growing on the back of a horse. He can use seven axes with both hands, including one large axe, two short axes, and four flying axes. He can switch between them seamlessly. He was so elusive that the Liao people were so scared to kill him that they all called him the "Seven-Handed General".
The remaining four are all brave men from the side branch of the Wanyan family: Wanyan did not stand, Wanyan Guzhan, Wanyan disassembled and repaired, and Wanyan repaired the bones - but now the bone joints were stabbed to death by Zhou Dong's shot, and the repairs were left behind. In Qing Mansion, he fought with Shi Bao, and he was killed by a flying hammer, leaving only two of them alive.
The horses under the command of these six generals were not as good as Wushu's. They were a step too late when they arrived. They watched Wushu fall from his horse and one of his legs was chopped off by Shi Bao. They couldn't help but scream in surprise.
Ulusaba reacted the fastest, raised his hand and shot an arrow.
The arrows used by this person are extremely long, with the arrow clusters measuring seven inches in length. They are shaped like chisels. This type of bow is not suitable for long-distance shooting, but it is extremely fast and extremely stable.
Shi Bao was about to make another stab to kill Wu Shu when he suddenly heard the startling sound of the bow string. He knew something was wrong and subconsciously twisted to dodge, finally getting rid of the vital part of his neck, but there was a sharp pain in his shoulder socket.
He couldn't help shouting, and took a few steps back. When he looked down, he saw a long feather arrow stuck in his shoulder, and his right arm was already difficult to move.
Yao Xing was shocked. He didn't care about his killing skills. He snatched Shi Bao from him, danced wildly with his swords, pulled out Ulusa and knocked them away with several arrows.
Wu Shu got this advantage, knowing that life and death were only on a thin line. He gritted his teeth and endured the heart-rending pain, rolled hard to the distance, and shouted: "Split the troops into two groups, grab the Xia Lord and leave!"
When Lao Cao heard him shouting from a distance, he couldn't help but raise his thumb secretly, thinking that this boy is really a general. In such a critical moment, he can grasp the overall situation. If given time, the Jin Kingdom will have another handsome man!
Today's flood has wiped out all the Xixia army. Countries like Xixia have limited potential. With such a big defeat, the destruction of the country is almost a foregone conclusion.
However, after all, it has been a hundred years since the country was founded. Doesn’t it have some foundation? If Wanyan Wushu robbed his father-in-law and accepted the Xixia inheritance afterwards, he would have gained the reputation of righteousness.
Lao Cao didn't know that the thoughts in Wu Shu's mind were more greedy than he thought!
Wu Shu not only wanted to seize his father-in-law and "hold his father-in-law hostage to conquer Xixia", but also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to seize chestnuts from the fire and seize Taiyuan City, which had been unable to conquer for many days.
After all, in his eyes, Lao Cao only had seven or eight thousand troops, and he came on a raft, all of them infantry. Now that the water had dispersed, how could he stop his own elite from rushing forward?
Wanyan Lou's room also heard Wu Shu's order. He was overjoyed and said to Yin Shu Ke, "Your Majesty's son seems to be Wu Shu's most worthy of Your Majesty."
When Wu Shu's six generals heard the sound, they immediately separated. The veteran Atuhan, the uncle Pucha Wulie, and Wanyan Meili still led the army to rescue Wu Shu. The eagle shooter Ulusaba and the seven-handed general Pei Man Tu Nian and Wan Yan were combined into three, and they went straight to the mound where Li Qianshun was.
Lou Shi, together with Yin Shuke, Ba Lisu, and Han Chang, led two to three thousand people and raided the formation in the middle.
Wu Shu made a quick decision and the Jin soldiers responded promptly. Lao Cao quickly shouted: "All armies form formations!"
These soldiers and horses under his command have been following the battle for a long time, and they have become proficient in training. Now they have been hurriedly lined up for two times, depending on the distance. The troops are all tightly clustered together, with spears sticking out like a dense forest, and the archers are in the crowd. Shooting randomly from the middle to the outside.
Frankly speaking, Lao Cao's response was not unpleasant, and his troops were well-drilled. However, such methods were sufficient to deal with the surrounding armies, but Jin Bing did not take them seriously.
After all, if he didn't have the ability to fight with iron, how could he, the Jurchen, kill so many Liao Kingdoms in just a few years?
Moreover, nearly half of these Jin soldiers are Jurchen warriors, and the remaining half are Bohai people, Northern Han'er, etc. who have surrendered to the Jin Kingdom for several years. They have already been tainted by the Jurchen's killing power. In terms of combat power, they can only Slightly less powerful than the Jurchens themselves.
Their horses are fast, their armor is strong, and their temperaments are fierce and unafraid of death. Both Jurchens use the usual fighting methods:
But seeing more than ten knights beating their horses like flying, screaming strangely and rushing out of the queue, they shook off the black cloth and blindfolded the horses, and drove the horses to meet the arrows and hit the gun array.
The moment the war horses collided, the knights jumped down and rolled outwards on the spot. Some of them rolled slightly slower and were immediately trampled into pulp by their own people behind them——
However, neither the knights on the horses nor the dead souls under their hooves blinked an eye, and truly regarded life and death as nothing.
The advance horses knocked over a group of spearmen, and before the soldiers behind them could catch up, the golden soldiers roared in. This formation was hastily formed, and there was no subtlety at all, but with his powerful charge, it immediately fell apart.
Since the battle was in chaos, everyone had to fight with their martial arts. In the battle group in front, Yao Xing retracted his swords and took Shibao's broadsword. He danced with the sound of the wind and protected Shibao behind him.
In the battle group at the back, Hua Rong tightly protected Hu Sanniang and led hundreds of troops to fight to the death. On the contrary, Lao Cao and Shi Qian were isolated between the front and rear battle groups, and no one paid attention to them for a while.
On the mound, Xia Lord Li Qianshun saw an opportunity, immediately organized his troops, turned around and left——
He grew up in palace battles since he was a child. He had seized the imperial power from his mother's party, and he had a deep understanding of the dangers of people's hearts. Now that the army was completely lost, how could he easily fall into the hands of Jurchen's virtuous son-in-law?
Cao Cao raised his knife and looked around, shook his head and said with a smile: "The Jurchens are really lucky, so many people survived such a flood! Fortunately, I still have a backup plan. Let's see who has the last laugh today."
Seeing the sudden change in the situation, Shi Qian was originally very nervous, but when he saw Cao Cao talking and laughing calmly, he couldn't help but be convinced, and thought to himself: That's it! In the past, I heard people tell the story of the Three Kingdoms. My brother was defeated at Chibi in his previous life. He laughed and ambushed the troops all the way. He laughed again and ambushed the troops all the way. He almost laughed himself to death. I also thought it was funny. Now that I think about it, I can still laugh in that situation. What a hero!
Suddenly his eyes narrowed and he pointed forward and said: "Brother, look!"
Cao Cao looked along what he pointed at, and saw Jiao Ting standing up in confusion among the chaotic army, with his big face crooked and looking dazed, he couldn't help but said with joy: "What a 'faceless' man, with a tough life, let's go, let's go, hurry up" Follow me to save him."
Shi Qian asked Cao Cao: "Brother, I will go rescue Jiao Ting myself. You can look after my sister-in-law."
Cao Cao shook off Shi Qian and strode forward: "Hmph! Don't you know that brothers are like brothers and feet, and wives are like clothes. When clothes are torn, they can still be sewn, and when limbs are broken, they can be repaired safely?"
Shi Qian didn't know where these words came from, but he just thought they were from Lao Cao's heart. In an instant, his eyes were already red.
Cao Cao secretly sighed in his heart: Silly brother, isn't Hua Rong more useful than me with Sanniang by his side? Well, when Da'er said this, Hua Rong was not beside his mother-in-law. This guy really treated his mother-in-law like a piece of clothing. .snort! What a ruthless man, just like his ancestors...
He was thinking wildly in his mind, his feet were flying, his short legs were pounding, and he had reached Jiao Ting's side. .
Looking up, he saw Jiao Ting standing blankly, with two eyeballs in his eye sockets moving up and down, left and right, like a short-circuited Doraemon.
At this time, several golden soldiers rode towards them. Shi Qian let out a strange cry, jumped up, and fired several hidden weapons. These cavalrymen were all wearing iron armor, so they used horse eyes. Several war horses were startled and neighed. Jumping around, the owner was knocked down immediately.
Cao Cao said anxiously: "Brother, do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"
When Jiao Ting heard Cao Cao's voice, he shook his head, his eyes returned to their normal positions, he looked down at Cao Cao, and said blankly: "Back then, I went around trying to find people, and I was never liked by anyone. Even the King of Hell refused to accept me. Only my brother was willing to accept me." Plus love.”
As he spoke, he tore open his clothes, revealing the fish scales underneath, and smiled.
It turned out that Cao Cao had plundered 490 pieces of fish scale armor from the Holy Mother of Wuling. He was going to use it to build a surprise army. Unexpectedly, he went to Jiangnan after returning and never used it again.
Most of these armors were kept in Qingzhou's house. Only the brothers who came from him to Fusang each received one as a gift, and Jiao Ting was among them.
In fact, the real power of this armor is to defend against sharp weapons. If it were someone else wearing this armor, it would be hard for a war horse to collide with it.
It's just that Jiao Ting has been practicing sumo wrestling since he was a child, and he is used to being beaten. When the horse collides with him, he instinctively jumps back to relieve his strength, and because he is wearing precious armor, there is no serious problem, but he is dizzy for a while.
Seeing that Jiao Ting was fine, Lao Cao felt his heart go back to his stomach. He turned around and saw that Yao Xing was in a hurry as he was being killed——
Although his martial arts skills are high, the three golden generals are also extravagant. When they rescued Wu Shu and saw the blood flowing from his broken leg, they all felt hatred in their hearts, and their attacks became more and more fierce. How can we have an easy life if we have to protect Shibao?
Cao Cao called Shi Qian and said, "Go rescue Yao Xing!"
Shi Qian used Qinggong, and a wisp of smoke flew away. He shook the lock sickle in his hand, swung it with all his strength, hooked Wanyan's horse's hoof, and pulled it back.
Poor Jin Jiang was concentrating on fighting, so how could he be wary of Shi Qian's destructive tricks? Immediately the horse stumbled and fell to the ground.
Shi Bao, who was hiding behind Yao Xing,'s eyes lit up. He pulled out the steel knife from Yao Xing's back with his left hand, jumped up, and chopped off his head with one knife.
Among the three golden generals, Wanyan Wuli was the most powerful in martial arts. He suddenly lost his head. Yao Xing suddenly felt relieved, and his sword power suddenly became strong. He faced the horse with his feet, forcing the two golden generals to kill him.
Wu Shu Fang Fu tied the wound. When he saw that it was broken but not standing, he was angry. He pointed his fingers and shouted: "Go and kill these guys!" A group of golden soldiers rushed forward with a strange cry. .
Here he endured the pain of a broken leg and commanded, but unexpectedly, due to his short stature, Lao Cao quietly came forward, grabbed the legs and feet of a golden soldier, pulled him off the horse to kill him, grabbed an iron spear, and turned over the golden soldier. The war horse charged at an angle and struck Wushu's ribs with a sharp spear.
Wu Shu was caught off guard, screamed, and fell from his horse.
Lao Cao showed no mercy, urged his horse forward, stabbed him with his spear again, and said with a ferocious laugh: "Now that I know you are the general's seed, it becomes even more difficult to keep it!"
Poor Wanyan Wushu, he was only twenty-three years old, and he died in the city of Taiyuan before his talents could be fully displayed.
This suddenly happened, the Jurchens around were frightened and angry, and they came to kill them one after another. Lao Cao showed no fear, grabbed the horse, and shouted: "Golden Dog! Today I will teach you how to recognize the Han family's 'Wu Mengde'!"
The iron spear danced wildly with his right hand, and the dragon sword was drawn out with the left hand, cutting off all the swords that came towards him. If he wanted to hurt him with a cold arrow, he was protected by fish scale armor, so he was not afraid. He galloped back and forth on his horse and killed the Jurchen soldiers. one slice.
In the Lou room, the situation was good. The Song army had been dispersed. Only a few generals were still resisting. The situation was decided. Unexpectedly, Lao Cao's soldiers suddenly stood out and defeated Wu, whom he was still praising just now, in one fell swoop. He uses his skills to kill, flaunts his power, fights by calling his name, and can't help but be frightened and angry.
He immediately pointed at Lao Cao and shouted: "I only regret that when I was an envoy, I didn't kill this man early, which led to today's trouble! All armies obeyed the order and will kill this man today!"
He raised his broadsword and took the lead. With his silver skills and Ba Lisu supporting him from left to right, he led thousands of troops straight towards Lao Cao.
The veteran general Atuhan and uncle Pucha Wulie were furious when they saw Wu Shu being killed. They abandoned Yao Xing and others and sent their troops to pursue Cao Cao. Yao Xing and others were fighting on foot and were immediately thrown away.
When Cao Cao saw the two groups of golden soldiers chasing after him, he felt secretly happy. He looked around, determined the direction, and laughed loudly: "Golden dogs, anyone who has the guts to follow me will follow me!" He then rode out to kill.
Yin Shu could see that he was acting like this and wondered: "He lured me alone, could it be a deception?"
Lou Shi pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this person wants to distract our troops to protect his subordinates. Otherwise, those infantry troops will be killed in just a few charges."
Yin Shu could remember the humiliation of being blocked by Lao Cao in Huanzhou, and gritted his teeth and said: "So what if thousands of Song troops escape? Killing this man will be a great victory."
At present, except for the group of golden soldiers who fought with Hua Rong, there were five or six thousand remaining, all chasing Cao Cao.
In Taiyuan City, Lin Chong and others packed up their troops and just rushed out of the city when they saw Lao Cao in front and a large group of golden soldiers behind, running past like a gust of wind.
Hu Yanzhuo's fingers trembled and he pointed: "Then, that, the one running away is Brother Wu?"
Lin Chong's eyes turned red instantly and he slapped his buttocks fiercely: "What nonsense are you talking about? Go and chase him!"
Zhou Tong's old face showed a mixture of astonishment and admiration: "...This guy is truly a person!"
Han Cunbao shouted: "His brother Wu Erlang is my savior. How can I not save him even if I die?"
A few leading generals gave chase on horseback, followed by thousands of Song troops behind them.
Yao Xing and Shi Bao had already become red-eyed. When they wanted to catch up, how could they catch up with the cavalry with two legs? But Shi Qian shouted: "Don't panic, everyone. My brother has his own backup. Go help Hua Rong and save his sister-in-law."
On the other side, Cao Cao led the Jin soldiers and ran for five or six miles. He suddenly reined in his horse, turned around and laughed: "Hahahahaha, you are so brave, you actually dare to chase me."
Wanyan Lou's room shouted loudly: "You have a habit of telling lies and truths. You can hide the truth from others, but you can't hide it from me! You caused such a flood. If our army wasn't stationed higher, they would have been washed away by the flood. Could it be that Will you still arrange an ambush? Wu Zhi, you are out of luck this time and you are destined to die here!"
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Lou Shi, you are also a famous general in the country. Don't you know how to use troops? Only by complementing the right and the strange can you be foolproof. Please prick up your ears and listen."
Lou Shi sneered, and just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed. Yin Shuke, Ba Lisu and others also changed their expressions.
But he heard the sound of iron hoofs shaking the ground from behind a mound next to Lao Cao.
