"drive!"
Tread...
As the horse galloped out of the mountain col, the wind on the plain became louder and louder, blowing on the face, with a strong smell of blood.
The surrounding grass and smoke in the wilderness were full of human corpses. It was actually difficult to tell whether they were Ding'an soldiers, Rongzhou soldiers or imperial soldiers from their clothes.
Su Chen tightened the reins, slowed down, sat on the horse, and scanned the surroundings. The ownerless horse swung its tail, lowered its head and licked its owner on the ground. There were also lone soldiers in the distance. They saw a few soldiers here. The team of a thousand people showed vigilant eyes, holding broken weapons, turned around and ran, submerging themselves into the gentle slope behind. Then there was a scream, and then a small team carried the head of the soldier just now, rushed up the gentle slope, and ran this way. Come.
The person who came was a Xiliang soldier trained by Dong Zhuo. He was now a captain in the Ding'an Army. He put the head on the ground, half-kneeling and holding his hands in front of him in greeting.
"Goodbye, General!"
Su Chen rushed forward: "Where is your General Dong?"
"Back to the general, I'm looking for him too!"
After hearing the answer, Su Chen didn't have any more words to say, and asked the soldiers behind him to give him some wound medicine, "Expand the search to find General Dong, and other colleagues, and inform him that I am near Yunqi."
"yes!"
The lieutenant arched his hands and immediately called on dozens of people to search north with him. Here, Su Chen turned his gaze back and continued to rush to Yunqi. After passing Changchuan County, rows of soldiers were on guard on the city tower, standing behind the wall stacks with bows and shields. The flag of Yan State was still standing on the wall stacks. Previously, when a hundred thousand troops from the imperial court pressed down on the territory, the county magistrate in the city had no choice but to correct the chaos and return to the imperial court.
Perhaps out of anger, among the troops following Su Chen, a school captain stepped forward and shouted towards the city.
"The imperial court's 120,000-strong army has been completely defeated. News will come soon, so you can think about it!"
The vigilant soldiers on the city tower and the guard were stunned for a moment when they heard this, then looked horrified, and then looked at the distant fields. They were suddenly caught up in the news of the defeat of 120,000 soldiers and horses, and it was difficult to calm down.
In the early morning, they had heard more or less, and soldiers and horses came to call the door, but it was still dark and they were afraid of fraud, so they did not open the door to let people in. However, when they heard this now
Even if there are 120,000 pigs, they can sustain it for a few days.
It's only been two days of fighting.
…
At the same time, a team of about four to five thousand people was also passing towards Yunqi. The flags were drooped and the soldiers marching in line were dejected. Their clothes and armor were messy and their expressions were panic. At the slightest sound, Caodong looked around nervously.
Scouts came and went over the fields.
"General, victory or defeat is a matter of military affairs." Fei Zhong led a few cavalry to one side and looked at the old man who had lost his iron helmet and his hair bun hanging down his shoulders. , the scattered troops and horses will all gather again."
His gray beard and hair bun were waving in the wind. He Jinchen glanced at him lightly and then looked away, which made Fei Zhong smile. However, he continued: "This Yunqing City has solid walls. , there is enough food, those traitors are almost delusional in wanting to attack, if they overestimate their capabilities..."
He stopped talking at this point, because the advancing team stopped. Yunqi County was in front of them. The south city gate was closed tightly. The soldiers on the tower above seemed not to see them and stood still.
The atmosphere was solemn.
"Open the city gate quickly!" Fei Zhong rushed forward and shouted.
What responded to him was a feather arrow shot from the city wall. Fei Zhong leaned on his horse to avoid it and stuck it diagonally on the ground. His feathers were trembling slightly. Behind him, on the horse's back, He Jinchen was holding the hilt of his sword. , raised his face, his eyes showed surprise, and then turned cold.
On the tower, Wu Huizhi, who was wearing armor and holding a spear, walked behind the wall stacks. Hundreds of archers emerged from behind him, lining up in a row, with their bows and arrows pointed downwards.
"Hahaha... I'm afraid the city gate can't be opened!"
The Marquis of Yunqi looked at the thousands of soldiers and horses below and grinned, "The imperial court bullied me and waited for the Marquis. They pushed me again and again, and now Yunqi County has rebelled!"
He once thought about starting a rebellion with Su Chen, but faced with an army of 100,000, he hesitated. But now he never thought that the Ding'an Army, which was only tens of thousands of people, dared to confront the imperial army head-on with such ferocity.
Moreover, he still ended up in such a situation with the imperial soldiers and horses.
When he heard the news in the mansion, the blood in his body seemed to be on fire. He immediately slammed the table and decided to start an army. A family member came to persuade him, but he was pushed to the ground and beaten with several punches and kicks. He was pulled up by the quilt. Tang Huaiyuan, the governor who had seized the military power, together with the two of them, first purged the government offices and military camps, and directly took control of Yunqi County.
Wu Huizhi had never thought that he could be so majestic. He raised his hand and said, "shoot an arrow!"
The arrows rained down, and some of the soldiers near the front raised their shields to block them, while some fell to the ground with several arrows stuck in their chests. On the city tower, Tang Huaiyuan looked at the group of soldiers, especially He Jinchen and Fei Zhong among them. The enemies were extremely jealous when they saw each other. He pointed at the panicked team below and shouted: "Open the city gate and kill!"
Before the city gate opened, He Jinchen shouted in a low voice: "Let's go!"
He turned his horse and galloped north along the city wall of Yunqi County. Thousands of people also fled in panic. On the way, the veteran general gradually recovered from the fact of defeat. After he took a deep breath, he did the first thing The thing is to call Fei Zhong.
Then there was a 'bang' sound and a loud slap on the opponent's face.
"If it weren't for your incompetence in running the army, how could my army of one hundred thousand have been defeated like this! If it weren't for the fact that you are the deputy commander of the imperial city and are not under my jurisdiction, I will definitely punish you!"
Fei Zhong's cheeks turned red and he covered his burning fingerprints. He looked at the soldiers and generals looking around him, then lowered his head and did not dare to look at the old man or refute.
The old man pointed at him and cursed a few words, then angrily turned around and led the remaining soldiers to the north for more than ten miles. He found a small hill and asked the soldiers to camp and rest here. He sent hundreds of people out to gather the scattered soldiers. The soldiers and horses moved closer to him.
The sky was gradually getting darker, and a drizzle began to irrigate the earth. In the rising water vapor, there were hundreds of figures helping each other through the rain curtain.
Some people saw the soldiers and horses on the mound. Among the troops resting on the mound, the old man was wearing armor and sitting on a stone. He also saw hundreds of people getting up slowly with a water bag. The soldiers around him were also shaking and shaking. Weapons were raised.
He Jinchen!
Le Jin narrowed his eyes, let go of the injured soldier, handed him to others, casually took the iron mask with a corner missing from his belt and put it on his face, slamming the iron gun in his hand against the ground.
Excluding a dozen wounded soldiers, hundreds of people quickly formed a fighting formation. They smashed their spears or slapped their scabbards together. This was a way to boost morale and was useful at any time.
Le Jin looked at the imperial soldiers standing up one by one on the mound. He tilted his head and asked the subordinates behind him, "Are you afraid?"
No one answered this sentence.
There was only a small voice saying: "General Le, I hope you can support my young wife and children." There was also a voice behind saying: "The child is unfilial... he failed to see his two elders to death."
These words seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, but they were released from the person's body extremely easily.
Le Jin spat out a mouthful of blood, lifted up his iron shield, gripped his spear tightly, and simply said two words to them: "Stay alive."
The voice suddenly turned high and roared out: "Charge!"
The moment several soldiers holding shields came together, Le Jin had already rushed to the front. He quickly stepped up the soft slope, stepped on a raised stone, jumped up suddenly, and used the iron shield to cover his body. He crashed into the crowd, knocking two Tiger Soldiers to the point where they vomited blood and fell backwards.
"kill!"
Hundreds of Ding'an troops rushed up and fought with thousands of imperial soldiers and horses on the slope. The steel knives in the hands of the Tiger and Ben troops roared, the swords gleamed, and blood shot out. The remaining arms were raised in the air. Some people screamed miserably, and arrows flew towards them. Someone slashed with a knife... Le Jin lowered his head to avoid the steel knife passing over his head, stabbed the opponent's abdomen with a gun, twisted it, and pulled out all the organs.
Another soldier from the Tiger Army came to attack. Le Jin rolled over and pulled away. Not far away, the old man sitting on the stone threw away his water bag and pulled out the White Deer Sword with a clang.
The white cloak lifted up, and an almost perfect sword light appeared in He Jinchen's hand.
Dang!
The iron shield trembled, a smooth break was cut, and half of the iron shield lifted up into the sky. Le Jin maintained his blocking posture and was pushed back a few steps. The sword energy counteracted and turned into air waves, knocking off the iron helmet on his head.
Le Jin glanced at the half of the shield left in his hand and threw it on the ground. The dense and slender blood opening on his left arm opened and blood began to flow out.
Across the field of vision, He Jinchen was dressed in armor, his cloak fluttering, and the sword slowly lifted from his hand.
"Rebel general, give me a chance and surrender!"
hehe……
Le Jin tore off the cloth, wrapped his arms tightly, picked up the iron gun, and returned what the other party said: "Give you a chance, surrender and avoid death."
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly fought with the imperial general.
