Yuchi Baolin mustered up his last strength and rushed forward. His horse slashed diagonally, tearing the air. He passed by the necks of two Japanese pirates and brought out a bright red blood arrow. He stabbed it with the force and pierced the abdomen of another Japanese pirate.
The Japanese pirate took the opportunity to attack with his sword.
"Sir!" A coachman exclaimed, rushed forward, and chopped off the opponent's weapon with a knife. However, his body was slashed by another Japanese pirate, and blood suddenly surged, dyeing his shirt red. The coachman roared and ignored
The slashed sword slashed hard, cutting off the neck of a Japanese pirate, and his own body was stabbed with the sword.
One life for another!
But the driver smiled, held the knife that pierced his body, mustered up the last bit of strength to strike back, tore open the opponent's neck with the sharp sword, and used a temporary backrest, it was worth it!
The next moment, the driver fell down.
"No--"
Yuchi Baolin found that the coachman who was saving him fell down and roared to the sky, like a crazed beast. For some reason, a new force surged up in his heart, instantly filling his limbs and bones. His beards and beards grew angry, and his eyes widened.
, a huge fighting spirit erupted, like the god of war possessing him.
"Kill the Japanese pirates!"
The next moment, the horse and tiger in Yuchi Baolin's hand were roaring like an angry war dragon, roaring, turning into shadows of spears, killing the Japanese pirates around him and knocking down more than a dozen in the blink of an eye.
The fierce attack scared the Japanese pirates around and retreated, but the archers in the distance fired arrows. Two feather arrows hit Lieutenant Chi Baolin almost at the same time. One was blocked by the chain armor, and the other got through the gap in the chain armor.
The pain caused Yuchi Baolin to become ferocious, and his mind was full of killings, as if he were crazy. The other drivers were infected by Yuchi Baolin's fierce fighting style, and they were also fighting desperately, refusing to retreat, to buy time for the convoy to leave.
"Kill--"
Suddenly, roars came from behind, like thunder.
Immediately afterwards, a group of cavalry rushed over, led by Cheng Chuliang. Seeing Yuchi Baolin covered in blood, hit by countless arrows, and with only a dozen people around him, Cheng Chuliang became even more furious, with murderous intent, and he galloped on his horse.
He went over and roared: "Brother Yuchi, hold on, brothers are coming!"
"Brother!"
A roar of grief and indignation rang out, and Yuchi Baoqi also rushed over with others: "If you hurt my brother, I will kill you all, kill--"
Countless cavalry roared away, slamming into the Japanese pirates with endless killing intent, crushing them all the way, seeing the light of swords, blood flowing, and heads rolling.
Seeing that the situation was over, the Japanese pirates were not willing to fight and fled quickly into the mountains and forests on both sides.
Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Baoqi were unwilling to give up and were about to lead their troops to pursue them. However, when they heard the sound of Ming Jin withdrawing his troops, they turned back angrily and looked at the people coming up the official road. One of them was none other than King Li Zhi of the Jin Dynasty.
Yuchi Baolin used the horse as a crutch and could not hold on. He smiled happily when he saw Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Baoqi coming to kill him. A strong feeling of exhaustion surged into his heart, his vision went dark, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Brother, brother!"
Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Baoqi got off their horses and ran up.
Yuchi Baoqi checked his breathing and found that he was still breathing. He shouted anxiously: "Military doctor, save my brother quickly."
"Hurry up and save people!" Cheng Chuliang also shouted.
The military doctor rushed forward to check the injury, and after feeling confident, he said: "General Yuchi lost too much blood, and the wound must be treated as soon as possible."
"Then what are you waiting for? Quickly save people, and they are the same. No one can be left behind." Yuchi Baoqi looked at the voices of more than a dozen people and shouted, his tone firm and unquestionable.
The remaining dozen or so people felt warm in their hearts and relaxed, and they all slumped on the ground, losing their previous bravery. They looked at the dead brothers around them with indifferent expressions.
"Straight bitch!"
Cheng Chuliang stood up with a curse, came to Li Zhi and clasped his fists, saying: "King Jin, at the end of the day, I will lead my troops to chase those bastards. I ask King Jin to help you."
A veteran next to him shouted: "No, it's dangerous here. The safety of King Jin is more important. Be careful to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Cheng Chuliang cursed loudly: "That's bullshit. Those pirates just want to rob my brother Qin's caravan. They don't know the whereabouts of our army. Don't forget that our army came here on the spur of the moment. The encounter was purely coincidental. The pirates
If you had known that we were coming back, you would not have ambushed the caravan, but directly ambushed our army. How could you divert the tiger away from the mountain? I think you just don’t want me to chase the pirates."
"Be arrogant, no matter how big or small. There are only rules in the army, and you are not allowed to mess around!"
"I was going to exterminate the pirates. The pirates fled in panic. We couldn't miss the opportunity, but you stopped me. What's your intention?" Cheng Chuliang was not afraid of the other party at all and directly started to attack.
Yuchi Baoqi also came up and shouted: "Brother Cheng, you stay while I go. The eldest brother's life or death is uncertain. There is no reason for brothers not to take revenge." He said and looked at Jin Wang Li Zhi.
Li Zhi had never experienced such a scene before and was a little at a loss.
The veteran who spoke just now said again: "Don't be arrogant in front of King Jin."
After saying that, the old general bowed to Li Zhi and said harmoniously: "King Jin, the pirates deliberately attacked the caravan, just to attract our army to pursue them, to move the tiger away from the mountain, and wait for the plan to be completed to kill them. By then King Jin will be in danger, for the safety period
, I don’t recommend splitting up the troops, and going to Jiangning to provide disaster relief is the most important thing.”
"Yes, the top priority is to go to Jiangning to stabilize the overall situation and launch disaster relief." A person next to him echoed.
Li Zhi didn't know what to do, but when he saw that the two old men around him had the same opinion, he instinctively felt that it made sense. After all, he had enough experience. When he left Chang'an, his father also told him to listen to their opinions more. He made a decision in his heart.
He said: "Two generals, Yuchi Baolin is seriously injured. The top priority is to save people. Let's go back to Jiangning first and make long-term plans."
Cheng Chuliang was furious and said unceremoniously: "It only takes a thousand soldiers and horses to wipe out that group of pirates. Keeping the remaining soldiers will not affect safety. It is a great opportunity for fighting. How can you give it up at will? The foundation of disaster relief is
To suppress bandits, if the bandit troubles are not eradicated, the disaster will never be quelled. We are putting the cart before the horse, and you will definitely be involved in the end."
"You are so impudent that you dare to question King Jin's orders. What do you want to do?" the veteran asked.
Cheng Chuliang snorted disdainfully and shouted: "You are self-righteous and have missed opportunities many times. I have had enough of this journey. You still want to provide disaster relief with an old man like you here. Go ahead and dream about it. I won't do it anymore."
With that said, Cheng Chuliang took out the seal of the army leader and threw it to Jin Wang Li Zhi.
"Old man, you just stopped me from rescuing my brother. I'll remember this debt first. I'll settle it with you slowly when I return to Chang'an. I don't understand military affairs and gave random orders, causing the court to lose most of the food for disaster relief. However, I framed it for others. It's shameless.
I am ashamed to be associated with you, so go and provide disaster relief yourself." Yuchi Baoqi also said angrily, took out the leader's seal and threw it to Jin Wang Li Zhi.
No matter what Li Zhi thought, Yuchi Baoqi squatted next to Yuchi Baolin and shouted to a guard beside him: "Go, bring me all the liquor and plasters I have spared."
The personal guards are all family generals who are composed of the bodyguards of the house. They are loyal and not subject to the control of the court.
Cheng Chuliang also gave a warning to his bodyguard.
Not long after, a large amount of liquor and plasters were brought, and Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Baoqi worked together to treat Yuchi Baolin's injuries. During the Battle of Goguryeo, they had long been accustomed to healing.
When King Jin Li Zhi saw this scene, his face became ugly and he was a little angry. The dignified King Jin was dumped by his subordinates and suffered a huge loss of face. Who could bear this? But Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Baoqi had special status and could not move.
Soon, a voice sounded from the bottom of his heart, telling Li Zhi that the two men were right to propose the pursuit, and that he had missed a great opportunity to suppress the bandits. His eyes flickered and he hesitated.
The veteran general whispered a few words in Jin Wang Li Zhi's ear. Li Zhi's eyes turned cold, he nodded indifferently, and walked forward slowly. One army was left behind to clean the battlefield, while the others followed Jin Wang and drifted away.
No one cares about Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Baoqi anymore.
Not long after, Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Baoqi teamed up to pull out the arrows from Yuchi Baolin's body, cleaned the wound, applied plaster and bandaged it, and then went to help treat the injuries of other coachmen. These were Qin Huaidao's people, and the two did not dare.
He was careless and tried his best. At the same time, he arranged for people to go back to chase the caravan and freed up a few empty cars to pick up people.
After all the wounded were bandaged, Cheng Chuliang motioned Yuchi Baoqi aside and said in a low voice: "You and I resigned from our official positions. This is a treasonous act. The return of the ball will definitely be investigated."
"I'm afraid of nothing. I don't want to do it a long time ago. With those two old bastards here, I can just tie my hands and feet. They made bad ideas and suffered a lot of losses along the way. But those two old guys passed the responsibility to others. He
As long as we are here, the disaster relief won't go away, it's better to leave early, or at worst, you will be fired, and you can just go and work with Brother Qin."
"Don't worry if you think so about my brother. Those two old guys don't know anything. They give random orders and don't say anything. They also want to ignore you and me. What they did is too embarrassing. Let's go together!"
"That's right, it's fun to follow Brother Qin!"
While he was talking, several empty cars came speeding towards him.
Everyone carried the wounded into the car, and the bodies of the brothers who died in the battle were also collected and put on the car.
The carriage returned along the original route and gradually disappeared at the end of the official road.
