The moon was dark and the wind was high, the firelight was swaying, and the noisy sound of many horses neighing and people howling poured directly into the ears, shaking the eardrums.
"The thieves are coming, move quickly, move quickly!"
The dusty road was crowded with defeated soldiers in disheveled military robes. Out of anger, the people and horses in front walked slowly, waving their swords, spears, weapons and staffs, shouting and threatening. More defeated soldiers simply left the military road and headed for the wilderness.
Running for his life.
These defeated soldiers had no idea how long they had fled. Some of them fell dead on the way, and few stopped to save them. At most, they grabbed the weapons and staffs left behind by the opponents, and then hurriedly fled to the west.
In this scene of people fleeing hastily, there were a dozen or so people standing still in the field, looking unsocial.
Although there was no sign of defeat as the surrounding soldiers fled, the sadness on the expressions of these dozen people was still greater.
"Although the Western Army was defeated, it still has a destination. Where is our destination?"
A strong soldier leaned on his staff and sighed, and the eyes of several people around him were dim and confused.
"Don't look depressed and protect Alang!"
A middle-aged and elderly man with a beard said in a deep voice while looking towards the center where they were standing.
Among these dozen people stood a gray and thin donkey. On the donkey's back lay an injured boy who looked like a young man. His forehead was wrapped in a green scarf. His long hands and feet were hanging limply on both sides. He had to be supported by people on the left and right.
Only then can you lie down firmly on the donkey's back.
"I don't know how injured Alang is... Alas, the Western Army is unjust! Although we are newly attached, we have fought side by side with them for several battles. Yu Kaifu praised Alang for his bravery, but turned around and abandoned us in Hengnon! Fortunately!
The king who took over the city affairs was willing to let us out of the city because of his old righteousness. But at the moment, the war was in chaos, and neither Gao Shijun nor Master Lang knew where they were, and Alang was seriously injured and fell into a coma..."
One person grumbled in a sad tone, but the person standing by the donkey supporting the sleeping boy said in surprise: "Alang moved, Alang, are you awake?"
"Yes, yes, I'm awake...where is this? You guys..."
The young man on the donkey raised his head with some difficulty, but his eyes were still dim, confused and surprised.
"Alang finally woke up! This is the northern suburbs outside Hengnongcang City. The day before yesterday, Alang, you were hit by the Eastern Army's stick in the formation and fainted. The Western Army was defeated in all directions under Mang Mountain. We can only follow the Kaifu Department.
Wu retreated to Hengnong, and the Western Army left again at dawn, but we were left behind in Hengnong. Fortunately, the guard general Wang Sizheng who entered the city was not to suppress the barbarians. After knowing that Alang was alive, he did not recruit us. Instead, he gave us a donkey and we escorted Alang out of the city.
…”
The middle-aged and older bearded men hurriedly stepped forward to tell the story, but the young man held his head in his hands and groaned in pain: "My head hurts! What's going on..."
No wonder he had a headache and was confused. He would have stayed up half the night before going to bed. After being woken up suddenly, he found himself in such a noisy and unfamiliar environment, which was hard to accept.
The dozen or so people around him all came forward with concern, but the young man looked wary and raised his hands to push and block: "You, don't come here!"
"Alang, what's going on?"
Seeing this, everyone was worried and suspicious. The middle-aged and older man raised his hand to signal everyone to step back, and then lowered his tone and said softly: "Don't be scared, Alang. Nagisa was born here, and all the disciples are here, and they will definitely protect Alang."
comprehensive!"
"You, you are Uncle Zhu Sheng...Quji, Yantou, and Xiaoyong..."
Several unfamiliar names blurted out, and the young man was stunned for a moment. After a moment, a surge of memory information and emotions that did not belong to him emerged from his mind. The impact gave him a splitting headache, and he bent over and retched repeatedly.
Everyone became even more panicked when they saw this, but before they could ask any questions, the boy's vomiting sounds gradually stopped, his movements stopped being erratic, and he looked up at the dark sky again.
It's a pity that there is only chaos and chaos on this night, and there are no bright stars and moon. Otherwise, we can sing a sentence: Today's people can't see the ancient moon, but today's moon once shined on the ancients.
Western Army, Eastern Army, Mangshan, Hengnong, Yukaifu, Wang Shijun...
Even if you haven't completely digested the complicated information in your mind, you can sort out some key clues just by relying on these few key words.
The time and space he lived in was the late Southern and Northern Dynasties, the first year of Wuding in the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the ninth year of Datong in the Western Wei Dynasty. The two northern overlords Yuwentai of the Western Wei Dynasty and Gao Huan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty fought over the Heluo area in the Mangshan battle. It was the battle of the Western Wei Dynasty.
A great defeat, and the identity and situation of the young man are also closely related to this war.
The boy's name was Li Tai, nicknamed Boshan, nicknamed Apan. He was a son of the Li family in Longxi. Together with his father Li Xiao, he was a staff member of Gao Zhongmi, the governor of Northern Yuzhou in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. In this Mangshan battle, it was Gao Zhongmi who betrayed the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
, caused by the surrender to the Western Wei Dynasty.
The young man was still sorting out more clues in his mind, but not far away, a group of armed soldiers came towards them. The leader shouted: "What department do you belong to? Why are you determined not to leave?"
His thoughts were interrupted by the shouting. Although Li Tai had not fully digested his new identity and situation, he was nervous and just subconsciously said to the people around him: "Let's go on the road first, and we'll talk as we go!"
The young master woke up. Although he seemed a little confused and confused, everyone finally had a backbone. After hearing this, they also gathered around the thin donkey and rode towards the west. In response to the shouts and questions from the leader of the Western Army,
If there is no response, the army is newly defeated. The most important thing is to escape for one's life. The military order is no longer available, and no one needs to be afraid of anyone.
The donkey's back was very thin, and even though it was covered with a layer of linen felt, it still hurt his buttocks. After taking a few steps, Li Tai simply turned over and walked.
He was still a little out of sorts, down to earth and feeling a little more at ease. Seeing his companions struggling to carry the packages, he raised his hands and said, "Put the luggage on the donkey's back and carry it around to save some energy."
"Alang's armor is kept here, but his armor is conspicuous and left in Hengnong."
Hearing what his companion said, Li Taicai thought of more identity-related situations.
He was born into a wealthy family, and was considered a descendant of the family in this era. He originally lived with his parents in Qinghe County, Hebei Province.
But the original owner is not a weak scholar who specializes in Confucian classics. He has had a strong hero complex since he was a child. He admires Gao Aocao, the powerful representative of the Han people in Hebei. He does not like academics and prefers martial arts, so he also has a body that may not be brilliant but can be called skillful.
Archery and fighting skills.
A few months ago, Gao Aocao's brother Gao Zhongmi visited his hometown and appointed his father Li Xiao as his staff. The original owner was hunting in the countryside at the time. When he returned home, he found out that his father had left his hometown with Gao Zhongmi to take up his post, so he took Li Xiao with him.
Several domestic soldiers caught up with him. On the one hand, they were worried, and on the other hand, they were unwilling to be lonely in the countryside.
After the meeting, the original owner was reprimanded by his father, accusing him of wandering around as a young man and not knowing the dangers, but even though he had come, he could only take his companions to Henan to take up the post.
After entering the Hugh Prison in Northern Yuzhou, Gao Zhongmi revealed his intention to defect to the Western Wei Dynasty. The memory of the original owner's father's reaction is not clear, but the original owner was very excited. This was due to the fearlessness of the young man who was greedy for power and power.
The second reason was out of dissatisfaction with the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
In particular, the death of the young idol Gao Aocao made the original owner full of disgust towards the Gao family that was in power in the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
Although Gao Aocao died on the battlefield with the Western Wei Dynasty, from the perspective of the simple values of the young man, it was excusable that the two countries died on the battlefield due to adverse timing or weak willpower. However,
Gao Aocao died because he was cut off by Gao Huan's nephew, because he deeply hated the Gao family.
"Gao Situ is the backbone of my Han'er in Hebei Province. No one here dares to open his eyes for a rich man! The hatred of losing his spine is not worth the blame of the flesh and blood of a fake Xianbei boy! When I reach the height of seven feet, I will be killed.
Yongle!"
News of Gao Aocao's death reached the village, and the original owner summoned his fellow villagers to set up an altar to summon his soul as a sacrifice. They cried loudly and made oaths. Unfortunately, two years ago, he had just grown to six feet tall and the city was closed to refuse to accept him.
Gao Aocao's nephew Gao Huan, Gao Yongle, died.
Therefore, when the reinforcements of the Western Wei Dynasty arrived, the original owner was not timid because of his youth, and fought for it enthusiastically. He led a group of family soldiers to follow Yu Jin, the founder of the Western Wei Dynasty, and successively uprooted some powerful dock walls in Heluo that were still under the orders of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
Afterwards, the Eastern Wei army crossed the river to attack, and the Western army was not in a good position to fight. Yu Jin's army failed to join the central army in time and was killed and dispersed. Yu Jin gathered some defeated troops to avoid the front battlefield and pretended to have surrendered the army, including the original owner and
Companions.
When the Eastern Wei army rushed through, they attacked the Eastern Army's rear. Taking advantage of the chaos of the Eastern Army, they rushed out of the main battlefield of Mangshan. The original owner was also injured on the battlefield, and his memory stopped abruptly. When he woke up again, he had already
This is Li Tai today.
"The situation is not good..."
As Li Tai walked, he thought secretly in his heart, putting aside the remaining teenage emotions in the original owner's mind, and carefully analyzed the current situation and his own situation.
He was formerly an up owner of an ancient lifestyle genre. He also did some popular science on ancient history. He also had an understanding of the process of falling in love and killing each other in the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty, which have the most sense of CP in history.
The battle at Mangshan was the fourth battle between the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasties over northern hegemony. The Western Wei Dynasty lost miserably this time. It can be said that the dividends and years of accumulation from previous wars were wiped out.
Although it was the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty that finally unified the north and the world, but that is a story for later. His current situation is that he has not completely escaped from the Heluo battlefield where the Western Wei Dynasty was defeated!
His stomach growled, interrupting Li Tai's thoughts. He was injured and comatose and had barely eaten, and now he felt unbearably hungry.
"Alang, do you want food?"
A middle-aged man named Zhu Sheng came up and asked, pointing to the package on the donkey's back and whispered: "There are still some rations here, but we need to go to a secret place to cook."
The surrounding roads and wilderness were full of fleeing soldiers, so they were naturally not suitable for making fires for cooking.
"No, we have to hurry!"
Others are just rebels, but he and his party are iron-clad traitors of the Eastern Dynasty. It is obvious that they will end up being chased by the Eastern Army. Li Tai does not want to lose his life because of his lust, and even turns back to Hengnon City to see Wang Sizheng's empty city plan.
All thoughts of retreating from the enemy, a famous historical scene, were abandoned.
The group of people fled westward in this way. From night to day, they could still feel a little tired at first, but in the end they just gritted their teeth and hurried on.
We continued like this until the morning, when a relatively open plateau appeared on the road ahead. There was a wooden fence blocking the way to the plateau. Outside the wooden fence, there were many knights of the Western Army riding horses, holding flags with various patterns.
, and kept shouting: "Which tribe do the disciples belong to? Everyone recognizes the flag, and the scattered soldiers cannot climb to the plateau!"
Some soldiers shouted and refused to obey, but when they drew their bows and arrows from behind the wooden fence and were about to shoot, they could only bow their heads obediently and follow behind the flag.
"Which one should we belong to? Should we just admit it and sneak in first?"
Li Tai's mouth was dry at the moment, and his head was swelling and pain was getting worse. He urgently needed to rest, so he said after seeing this.
"No, if you surrender to the flag and surrender to the army, it will be difficult to escape! I will go up and call the number first!"
The middle-aged man Zhu Sheng waved his hand and said, then walked forward with a sword in his hand, and shouted to a knight of the Western Army who was holding a flag: "I am waiting for you, the high envoy of Dongzhou Guiyi, and I was with the Kaifu army.
Charge into the formation, please let me go!"
"Gao Shijun? You are talking about the Eastern Bandit Gao Zhongmi? He concealed the information about the Eastern Bandit's military aircraft and caused the army's defeat. He was arrested by the left army Zhao Qiaoqi. Are you his soldiers? I think you are the Eastern Bandit spies.
