Chapter 19, Volume 8
The cold wind accompanied Yingcheng's breath, turning him into a misty white, his expression and silhouette became blurred in the night.
The seemingly endless killing was frozen frame by frame.
The ancient city of Chidu has a high wall, with armored armor and horseshoes in front of you.
The two armies were at a stalemate and fell into a stalemate.
There is no way to go on like this——
All the good soldiers and good generals were transferred to the front line of Hulaoguan. At this time, Chidu had only a hundred soldiers, and there was not even a lieutenant general among them.
The dragons have no leader, how to resist the barbarian attack?
The Daliang soldiers began to retreat steadily, but fortunately the city gate was closed, which was Chidu's last line of defense.
Yingcheng didn't want to hide, and couldn't.
Regardless of Chang Xi's instructions, he came to Chidu from Xingyuan, not to retreat into the city.As the only person who can give orders now, he wants to know the surrounding terrain and the situation of the battle between the two armies as closely as possible.
Without reinforcements, they had to be self-reliant.
Seeing the Hu barbarians approaching, Yingcheng was very anxious - he had to wait until Chang Xi and the others arrived.
Just when he was worried, a man came galloping on horseback. Blood was dripping from the man's forehead, and the original color of the clothes on his body could not be seen clearly. When he got to Yingcheng's side, he got off his horse and knelt down, "My lord! Lieutenant Zhang! When the reinforcements arrived, they were trapped in the Guanping Trail by the barbarian slave! We're afraid—I'm afraid—"
Yingcheng's complexion changed a few times, and the reinforcements were ambushed, which meant that they could not reach Chidu in a short time.But--
He watched the bloody fight not far ahead, Daliang almost couldn't hold on anymore.The barbarians have a large advantage in numbers. What can we do to divert some of the enemy's troops and buy time for the reinforcements?
Although Ying Cheng was in a hurry, his head calmed down.Instead of waiting, it's better to find a way to distract Hu Man!
Looking up, there are continuous mountains and ridges all around. Six or seven miles away from the ancient city of Granary, there are deep mountains and poor forests, with lush branches and luxuriant trees, covering the sky and the sun.On the other side is the high valley cliff, and everyone is now in a flat sandy land.
He turned to those barbarians again, and saw that they were holding three-foot-wide knives in their hands, which were indeed weapons commonly used by nomads outside the Great Wall, but——
Yingcheng discovered that, except for a small number of people who used knives, more of the Humans were holding long spears used by the soldiers of the Central Plains, and they were very proficient in marksmanship.
His eyes darkened, and he frowned: Among this group of people... I'm afraid the majority are from Chu!
The two soldiers around him have been following Yingcheng to protect his safety.
As if thinking of something, Ying Cheng said to one of them, "Give me the bow and arrow."
The man didn't know what Yingcheng's plan was, but he didn't disobey the order, and quickly handed over his bow.
Hu Man is aggressive and warlike, and they are good at using formations.Use the left and right armies to encircle the Liang soldiers and kill them from the outer circle, while the Chinese army cooperates with the partial army and cooperates from the inside to the outside.Such a strategy is almost perfect for raiding a troop with only a few hundred men left, but it is not invulnerable.
Yingcheng's eyes subconsciously glanced at the soldiers on his shoulders. During battles, everyone will try their best to protect their generals and strengthen the defense around them.So, if you speculate according to your own situation, then——
The one surrounded by the enemy in the middle is likely to be the leader of the opponent.
Holding the longbow tightly in his hand, Yingcheng stringed the feather arrow.
In the enemy's camp, there were two people in the center of the layers of soldiers, one with thick eyebrows and square face, and the other with a big beard.Both of them were using seven-foot spears.
Yingcheng drove his horse forward tens of meters towards the melee point, pulled the reins, and took aim with his bow.
The bearded man was beheading the soldiers with great interest.The square face with thick eyebrows just finished a short attack, and turned his head to show off to the people around him.
Right now, in the nick of time—
Yingcheng's fingers moved slightly, and the howling arrow was like lightning, splitting the air and heading straight for the live target.Fearing that it would not cause fatal injuries, the arrow was aimed at the eyebrow of the enemy general.
Capture the thief first and capture the king, he will kill with one blow!
There was an instant scream in front of them, and there was a short pause in the chaos, and everyone looked in the direction of the feather arrow.
Hu Man never expected that under such a favorable situation, one of his generals would lose so suddenly!
Even the soldiers of Liang Guo did not expect such a shocking reversal!
Without hesitation, Ying Cheng put another feathered arrow on the bowstring and shot at the other bearded man.
The man's reaction was also quick, and he immediately leaned on the horse's back and narrowly dodged it.When he got up again, he was about to shout angrily, when Yingcheng fired three more arrows, and the soldiers around the bearded man fell to the ground one after another.The last arrow shot into the opponent's horse's belly, neighing and piercing through the air, and the big bearded man was thrown off the horse.
Riding his horse to an open place in the sand, Yingcheng reined in the reins and looked at the dark crowd, "The enemy general is dead! The rest is just lingering, nothing to be afraid of!" Chidu's silent night sky, his Voices hovered in the darkness.
"I am standing here as a warlord," Ying Cheng said sharply, "Head up to the orders of the Liang soldiers in Northern Xinjiang! Kill all these barbarian slaves for this king!"
The morale of Liang Jun was greatly shaken, and the sound of shouting and killing broke through the entire sky.
That's right, Yingcheng did it on purpose.No matter how brave he is, he can't bring himself back to heaven with only one person. There is a huge difference in the number of people on both sides. He only hopes that the other party can shift his target to himself and distract some people, preferably the big bearded man.If you guessed right, the bearded man is also one of the main generals.
If he could run into that deep forest, maybe everything would turn around.In the deep forest, the trees are dense, and the leaves cover the eyes. No matter how many people there are, entering the forest will be blind.Instead, it is easier to escape alone.
Several soldiers have come to Yingcheng's side, wanting to protect him.
Seeing that the time was running short, Yingcheng explained briefly, "I'll distract some of the enemy troops in a while, and when they chase me, you shoot arrows immediately! But you are not allowed to follow me, do you understand!"
Ying Cheng's words made those people pale, "No way! My lord, how can I let you take risks!"
"Enough! The situation is critical! Who else can attract those people besides me?!" He said incredulously, "Send the order and shoot the Hu Man who is chasing after me. After I enter the deep forest, all the soldiers will guard Chidu with all their strength. , don’t follow!” Ying Cheng made up his mind, “Whoever dares to disobey will be dealt with by military law!”
The eyes of the soldiers were slightly red, their teeth were clenched tightly, and they finally took orders in a low voice.
Without further hesitation, Yingcheng turned around to attract the enemy.However, the opponent moved one step faster.
The leader was the bearded man with a gloomy expression, and he rode his horse in front of Yingcheng, "Want to run? You can't fly with wings today! Son of Ying Congyu, I will capture you alive!"
Yingcheng glanced at the soldiers behind him, and smiled coldly, "If you have the ability."
When the man heard this, his face became angry, "I see how arrogant you are!" He turned his head and shouted to the soldiers beside him, "I have heard for a long time that there are beauties in the country of Liang! But I don't believe that a wedge can It’s so beautiful, can you believe it!”
Some disgusting laughter sounded out.
Several soldiers around Yingcheng drew their knives and wanted to kill this group of people, but they were stopped.
"As long as one of you can catch him," the bearded man didn't care much, he just stretched out his hand and nodded Yingcheng, "I will allow that person to take off this prince's clothes and test his real body!"
He turned his head to look at Yingcheng again, but still shouted at those barbarians, "If this man is a disguise, then brothers are lucky this time! If it is really a wedge, we will cut off his head and put He was hung outside the camp and flogged the `corpse` for three days! What do you think!"
Responses came one after another, and many of the enemy soldiers had already started uttering foul words.
"My lord!" Unbearable, Liang Guo soldiers' eyes were tearing apart, wishing to tear this group of barbarians into pieces.
It's not that Yingcheng is not afraid, it's just that he can't fall short.If you do it now, everything before will be in vain.
If Hu Man can't be lured away, and the time can't be delayed, Chidu will be finished. This kind of thing must not happen.
His palms were sweating, but he pretended to be calm, and turned his head to the soldiers and said, "As planned, are the archers ready?"
One of them nodded reluctantly.
That's good--
Pulling hard on the reins, Ying Chengxuan said in a high voice, "Traitor and barbarian slave! Come and catch me if you have the ability!" After finishing speaking, he whipped his horse and galloped towards the forest.
The bearded man couldn't stop laughing, "Let's see if you can be proud when you fall into my hands!"
With a wave of his right hand, he led a group of cavalry behind him, chasing after Yingcheng.
Almost at the same time, arrows rained down on the wall of Chidu Ancient City, and many Human soldiers who tried to chase Yingcheng were immediately shot off their horses.
"Dare to play tricks with me!" After dodging, the bearded man looked at the casualties and said angrily, "It doesn't matter if I let you do one trick, I will get all the rest! Chase me!"
It has to be said that Yingcheng's method distracted a lot of barbarians, and at the same time, shot and killed some of them.Liang Guo soldiers were also filled with righteous indignation for his almost self-sacrificing behavior, and they only hoped to tear Hu Man into pieces!The morale was getting higher and higher, but it gradually blocked Hu Man's attack, no longer retreating, but returning to a stalemate.
In the deep forest, Yingcheng didn't know the way, so he could only instinctively look for a place to hide.
The sound of horseshoes and shouts that were not far away from him appeared and disappeared, and he knew that this was because the forest was too deep and the trees were too dense.
At this moment, he didn't know what to do, he didn't know if he could run away, and he didn't know if Chidu could survive until the reinforcements arrived.If you're lucky, then everyone will be happy. If... caught, Ying Cheng tightened the dagger in his hand——Chang Xi, come quickly.
It's easy to get lost walking in the woods because everything is pretty much the same.
Ying Cheng got off his horse, hesitatingly thinking which way he should escape would be the right way.
Can you get out of this woods?He couldn't be sure.but--
He reached out and touched the jade buckle on his waist, it was lovesickness Gu that Ji Changxi specially installed.As long as there is this, the other party can always find himself.
This seemed to be silent comfort, and Ying Cheng regained some courage.
The noise was getting closer and louder.
I walked around for a long time, but still seemed to be spinning in circles.He couldn't hide well either, because he was leading a tall plow horse.
Seeing that he was about to be overtaken, Ying Cheng stopped.
He looked at the dark eyes of the plow horse, couldn't bear it, stroked its soft mane, and said in a low voice, "I have no choice... sorry, I can only wrong you."
The Heli horse seemed to understand what its master said, and without making a sound, it just lowered its head and rubbed against Yingcheng.
"If I'm not dead, I will..." Ying Cheng sighed, "I will never forget the grace of saving my life in this life."
His hand paused in mid-air for a moment, and finally landed on the shiny and smooth back of the plow horse.
Finally, he took a nostalgic glance at Yingcheng, only to see the horse's hooves moved slightly, and He Li turned and ran forward.
Soon, Hu Man's cheers and the sound of swords and arrows colliding resounded in the forest.
Ying Cheng hid behind a lush bush, he felt as if his heart was being violently stirred by a sharp knife, he heard the last mournful neighing of the plow horse, and the fierce cursing of those people after they found out that they had been cheated.
His eyes were closed tightly, and his teeth were almost gnashing.Yingcheng grasped the wet soil deeply with his fingers, trying to restrain the anger overflowing all over his body——
Hu Man, and Chu State—all of today's blood debts, you must pay back one by one!
When the phoenix eyes opened again, he had already regained his senses.
Dodging the enemy troops who were still searching for him, Yingcheng retreated carefully.
Probing with a deep foot and a shallow foot, I was afraid that if I was not careful, I would step into the air.
It wasn't until the surroundings finally became quiet and no more noise could be heard that Yingcheng was completely relieved. He couldn't count how long he had walked, but felt physically and mentally exhausted.
Not far away, there is a vast and flat land, where I can finally take a good rest.
With that in mind, he walked over there.
Perhaps it was because his tense nerves were finally relaxed, or because he was eager to relieve his fatigue, Yingcheng became careless for a moment and forgot to pay attention to his feet.
And precisely at this moment of lightning and flint, the steep slope hidden under the thick dead leaves showed its original posture.
Yingcheng couldn't defend himself, his body was tilted, and he had already lost his center of gravity.
Before consciousness disappears, one last thought slips through his head—is everything in this world over?
The sky blocked by the branches suddenly burst into thunder, and the lightning seemed to split the entire deep forest.
Soon, the rain poured down.
When I woke up again, I had a splitting headache, and my body seemed to be separated from my mind.
Ying Cheng moaned softly, feeling very uncomfortable.
The fingers are slightly bent, gradually exerting force.It's okay—it's still conscious.
It was pitch black, and he wanted to open his eyes, but couldn't.
I was startled suddenly, only to realize that a soft cloth was covered in front of my eyes, and I was about to tear off the cloth almost immediately, but my hand was grabbed.
"Don't move, your eyes hurt a little, you need to rest for a few days."
The voice was so familiar that even though he couldn't look at it now, Yingcheng knew who was by his side at the moment.
Instantly felt relieved, and overflowing with excitement and joy.
"You still came here," Ying Cheng groped and clasped fingers with the man, he asked, "Are you okay? Are you not injured?"
The man laughed twice, "I should be asking you this, are you okay?"
"I'm fine—" Ying Cheng also hooked his lips, "Chang Xi, I'm really worried about you."
"My lord," the voice at the top became clearer and sweeter, and the smile in his words became even bigger, "Have you misidentified me again?"
His mind woke up instantly, and the alarm bells rang in Yingcheng's heart. He flung that hand away and wanted to get up.
However, the severe pain in his leg made him almost fall back on the bed, but he was firmly supported by someone.
The man continued to ask, "Does my voice really sound like his?"
