The arrow hit the center of the eyebrow, the tail of the arrow was still trembling slightly, and the arrowhead had completely submerged into the forehead bone. There was only a little blood stain at this moment, but it was already shocking.
The person who was hit by the arrow opened his eyes wide, and his pupils moved toward the middle, as if he wanted to see clearly what had stabbed him. However, the next moment, he could no longer maintain his balance, and fell backwards with a "bang" sound.
Yun Hui's face was full of despair and sorrow, and his expression was frozen for a moment.
As the man fell, he suddenly turned his head and looked behind him.
Someone came on horseback. He was wearing a different military uniform from them and the state soldiers. He had a very young, or youthful, face. He rode close to them, held a bow in his hand, and shot another person.
Soon, another man and a horse appeared behind the opponent. The man on the horse was tall and tall, wearing a general's armor and a beard. His whole body was eye-catching. He swung his sword like a strong wind and knocked down three Xu cavalrymen.
Looking at the extraordinary broad-backed sword, Yun recalled the rumors he had heard about "Beheading Xiu", and the answer suddenly flashed in his mind - General Chang Kuo Chang?!
Immediately afterwards, a group of armored cavalry appeared in Yun Hui's sight, first ten people, then a hundred people, then a thousand people... with great momentum, they were rushing towards this place.
The sound of horses' hooves was deafening, as if cracks were being made in the earth. The sound of fighting was still going on. Bloody limbs were flying everywhere. Yun Hui stood there blankly. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether this was real or a crazy imagination before his death.
.
Until a soldier beside him shouted with joy——
"Look, it's reinforcements!"
"Reinforcements have arrived!"
In an instant, Yun Hui's somewhat numb and dull senses returned to their original state, and he suddenly came back to his senses.
An enemy soldier stabbed at him with a spear. His face suddenly shook, he dodged the sharp spear, and with dexterity, he threw the enemy soldier to the ground from one side, took out the short knife hidden in his boot, and stabbed him fiercely.
Stab hard into the heart of the enemy.
Then, he hurriedly picked up his younger brother who was on the ground beside him, and protected his younger brother as he moved to the rear.
The young boy in front of him made a weak voice: "I knew... my second brother wouldn't lie..."
He seemed relieved, leaned in front of his brother, and closed his eyes.
"Agui!"
"then!"
A man riding by Yun turned around and threw something towards him.
Yun Hui subconsciously stretched out a hand to catch it, which was a small porcelain bottle.
The man on the horse said to him: "Feed him quickly and swallow one pill, and give the rest to the soldiers who are in urgent need of stopping the bleeding!"
The speaker did not squint or pause. When Yun Hui raised his eyes, he saw a cold wind blowing on his face. Along with the cold wind, there was also the vigorous youthful aura between the brows and eyes of the young soldier on the horse, and with the wind
The passing aura of killing.
The spear in Chang Suining's hand pierced the body of an enemy soldier in front of him, and he shouted loudly: "General Chang is coming with 100,000 reinforcements, and together with the Hezhou soldiers, we will defend the city and repel the enemy!"
Peng Canjun, who had been killed to a bloody man, looked over in disbelief, his pupils trembling, he raised his knife in response, his voice was hoarse and trembling due to excessive excitement: "...defeat the enemy together!"
Mrs. Yun’s eyes turned red: “Retreat the enemy together!”
"Retreat the enemy together!"
For a moment, his morale was greatly boosted, as if he had emerged from the dark and hesitating mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, and suddenly saw the light of day.
"...General! It's really Chang Kuo!" A school captain came to Ge Zong: "They brought an army of 100,000!"
Ge Zongli asked immediately: "See Li Yi?"
"I haven't seen it before. It should be Chang Kuo who leads the troops alone!"
Ge Zong scolded his mother - it might have been better if Li Yi was there to drag him down!
This time the imperial court sent troops to conquer, and after the battle at Liangshan in Dudu, it was obvious that Li Yi was a complete idiot. The only person they really regarded as a serious problem was deputy commander Chang Kuo.
Chang Kuo was born in the Xuance Army and was an effective subordinate of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In his early years, he was punished for resisting the imperial edict and killing the Beidi Khan in the Beidi War. He was also injured and disappeared from the public for many years. However, in the past few years, he has reappeared. After appearing in everyone's sight, he and Cui Jing pacified the Southern Barbarians.
Although he is old, he has rich combat experience and his prestige in the army is still the same as before!
Looking at the mighty general, Ge Zong's eyes welled up.
If you can kill Chang Kuo today, it will be a great achievement!
At this moment, Chang Kuo saw the big knife in his hand pointing at him, and asked loudly and energetically: "Who is that opposite, and what is your name?"
When generals of two armies face each other on the battlefield, they must always know each other's names and origins. In addition to knowing themselves and the enemy, it is also considered a kind of battlefield etiquette.
Ge Zong responded loudly: "Kuang Fu is the deputy general of General Xu, and Ge Zong is also!"
Chang Kuo: "Okay, Ge Zong, right?"
Ge Zong was about to reply, "That's right," when he heard the other party's voice rise even higher, and the sound spread like a bell: "Whoever takes the head of the dog thief Ge Zong today will be heavily rewarded and will be recorded as a first-class military merit!"
Ge Zong: "...!"
Damn it!
What was even more worthy of scolding was that before Chang Kuo finished speaking, a cold arrow flew towards him.
Ge Zong's expression tightened, he raised his sword to block the arrow, and at the same time looked at the traitor who shot the arrow.
It’s that little cavalryman who was at the front again!
The opponent was probably young and energetic, a very capable military man, and he was very eager to seize this first-class military honor. In just a short moment, he quickly drew an arrow again, narrowed one eye slightly, and drew the big bow in his hand to the fullest, and this time it was It’s two arrows fired at the same time!
Ge Zong swung his sword to block again. As the debris flew, a wooden thorn pierced his eye socket, causing blood to flow out.
Ge Zong covered his stinging eyes with one hand, raised his knife and said angrily: "Chop him!"
During this interval, the soldiers in front of him had already formed up with shields, surrounding him to protect him and blocking the random arrows that imitated the little cavalry. Soon, there were also cavalry around him with their crossbows in hand.
"Watch out!"
After Yun Hui temporarily settled his brother, he raised his sword again and mounted his horse. While slashing the oncoming arrows, he said to the little cavalry: "Back off!"
"Why retreat?" Chang Sui Ning raised his chin slightly, acting arrogantly, and said wildly: "Our army has a hundred thousand elites, and the opponent is just a ragtag group of people who joined the army halfway. Today I will take the head of that Ge Zong dog thief!
"
After saying that, he put away his bow and picked up his gun, shouted "Drive", faced the arrow rain in front and the enemy troops who were short and armed with guns and attacked, he did not retreat but advanced, and drove his horse forward.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yun Hui was shocked: "...!"
Are you so arrogant and reckless?
But he couldn't let the other party take risks alone, so he also drove his horse to follow!
"drive!"
Under the command of Chang Kuo, a group of cavalry has followed closely, with fierce momentum, overwhelming morale, and overwhelming momentum.
The cavalry opened the way, spears and swords attacked and swept away obstacles, and iron hooves trampled, quickly breaking through the opponent's temporary defense.
The defense was collided and collapsed, and then Chang Kuo led his troops to rush forward. The people of Xu's army were also shattered and panicked. The two sides were in close combat, and the morale of the two sides was high and low.
Ge Zong looked at more and more reinforcements rushing towards him. The sky was filled with dust and dust, and he could not see the end of the reinforcements.
A long spear came towards him with the sound of "whooshing" wind.
Ge Zong narrowly avoided it and gritted his teeth: "It's you little bastard again! It seems that you have to find me to death!"
There was murderous intent in his eyes, and he rode up on horseback with a sword in his hand.
The two war horses were about to collide. The soldier on the horse suddenly jumped up, tapped his foot lightly on the horse's back and head, and flew forward. His body was like a shooting star, and he held a gun to kill him. The cold light of the gun head was dazzling.
Ge Zong's pupils shrank, and he suddenly lowered his waist and leaned back to avoid it. When he saw the soldier approaching again, he quickly turned around, half jumped and half fell off the horse.
He reacted quickly and dealt with it properly. Although Chang Suining was not able to hurt him, the general of an army was knocked down by an enemy soldier in ordinary clothes. In the confrontation, morale would inevitably be seriously damaged.
The little soldier who flew over sat provocatively on his horse, holding the reins in one hand, and streaking across the ground with his spear in the other hand, before heading towards him again.
Ge Zong rolled around on the ground several times, and several subordinates stepped forward to help him up. A group of soldiers with long spears rushed towards Chang Sui Ning, trying to overthrow the man and the horse to the ground.
Chang Kuo held Zhan Xiu in his hand and led a group of cavalry forward in time. While the two sides were fighting, the retreating Ge Zong saw that his morale was gone, but he did not dare to act out of anger, so he gritted his teeth——
"withdraw!"
The situation is unfavorable at this time. After returning to camp, I will report it to General Xu and agree on a good strategy. It will not be too late to fight again!
Xu's army received the order and retreated while fighting.
After Chang Kuo led his army to chase for three miles, he slowly reined in his horse and raised his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to stop.
"General Chang Da, why didn't you pursue them?" Yun Hui, who was driving his horse forward, couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you take the opportunity to drive them out of Hezhou in one fell swoop?"
Xu's army is camped thirty miles away. We should take advantage of the high morale and defeat them completely in one go!
Chang Kuo looked at him, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and asked instead, "Is your boy the son of the governor of Hezhou?"
"Yes!" Yun Hui immediately clasped his fists and said urgently: "Please also ask General Chang to order the suppression of the enemy!"
Chang Kuo looked at the retreating Xu army: "It's not the time yet."
Yun Hui, eager to kill the enemy and eager to vent his hatred, wanted to say more, but was interrupted by a voice from behind: "Ah Hui, everything is subject to General Chang's arrangements!"
Hearing A Niang's voice, Yun Hui seemed to be pulled back from the overwhelming hatred and rage.
"Don't worry, there will be time for revenge." A clear voice sounded from his side.
Yun Hui looked over and saw that it was the little cavalryman. "He" was riding Ge Zong's war horse. The horse was strong and strong, but "he" was thin. However, "he" flashed before Yun Hui's eyes and he killed the enemy.
The way he looked at the time, but he didn't dare to have the slightest contempt.
Facing those clear eyes that seemed not stained with blood at all, Yun Hui slowly calmed down and nodded to the other person with a "hmm".
Looking at the few remaining Hezhou soldiers, Mrs. Yun's eyes were red and she ordered: "Big victory, return to the city!"
…
In Hezhou City, where the city gates were closed, the soldiers guarding the city were blocking the people who wanted to leave the city.
Most of these people were men, and they all had axes, hoes, other agricultural tools, or ordinary sticks in their hands.
The leading man looked angry and said urgently: "We are going out of the city to support the lady and the two gentlemen! Open the city gate quickly!"
"No! When Madam and Erlangjun left, there was an order that the people in the city should be allowed to leave the city quickly through the rear gate!" The soldiers guarding the city looked solemn, but there were tears in their eyes: "If you don't leave, you will be betrayed.
Thank you for your wife and husband’s hard work!”
The reason why Erlangjun wanted to go out of the city to meet the enemy instead of staying behind to guard the city gate was not motivated by emotion.
After the previous efforts to defend the city, the defensive materials that could be used to defend the city have been exhausted, and the city gates and walls have also been damaged to varying degrees. The barrier of the city gate has become vulnerable. Under this situation, waiting for the army
Lincheng, the defeat was determined by then. They were passively trapped and their morale collapsed. They left 500 people to defend the city, which was not much different from the 8,000 people defending the city.
Therefore, Mr. Erlang made this desperate move. His wife and the two gentlemen personally led the troops out of the city to boost their morale, hoping to use this morale to split the Hezhou barrier into two.
One is the city gate, and the other is the flesh and blood of the wife, husband, and soldiers.
The purpose of the existence of these two barriers is to delay the enemy's attack on the city as much as possible in order to give the people a chance to leave the city on their own.
Although they are all forced to leave Hezhou and are destined to become refugees, it is still a hundred times better than having all the men's family property being conscripted and plundered.
Forced by the situation, this is the only way out that the madam and the husband can plan for the people.
But who would have thought that most of the people in the city were unwilling to leave, and instead forced them to open the city gate.
"Why are we going! Hezhou belongs not only to the governor's family, but also to us! There is a powerful enemy in front of us, my wife is a female dependent, and Mr. Sanlang is still a child, and he can risk his life to kill the enemy outside... If I, a seven-foot-old man, can just escape like this
, even if you survive by chance, you will still have a bad conscience in this life!"
"...When I arrive under Jiuquan in the future, how can I have the dignity to see the governor!"
"That's right! Let us out!"
"Let the women, children and children leave, and let's go find the wife and husband!"
As those people were talking, seeing that the guards refused to let go, they swarmed up and tried to open the city gate by force.
During the commotion, soldiers suddenly shouted from the city tower: "...A large army is coming towards the city gate!"
Hearing the word "big army", the faces of the people immediately changed. Madam and the others only led thousands of soldiers out of the city. This "big army" is definitely not the lady's husband!
They must be rebels!
Thinking that Mrs. Yun and the two husbands might have died in the battle, tears burst out from a man's eyes and he clenched the weapon in his hand: "...I will fight these thieves today!"
Some people still had a glimmer of hope and quickly climbed up the tower, staring closely at the approaching army.
Suddenly, a soldier who had been holding his breath for a long time opened his eyes wide and shouted: "It's our flag!"
A soldier who was riding at the front to report the news was holding the Hezhou city flag and shouting: "Big victory!" as he galloped.
"Open the city gate!"
——Big victory?!
On top of the city tower, the soldiers and the people were excited.
All the people rushed forward, opened the city gate together, and ran out of the city to greet him. Some people laughed, some burst into tears, and some laughed and wiped away tears. The voices were mixed.
"lady!"
"Mr. Lang!"
"Look...those are the soldiers and horses of the imperial court! They are reinforcements!"
They saw many injured soldiers being brought back, so they quickly moved to both sides, not daring to delay medical treatment.
Some people also saw Mr. Sanlang being protected by Mr. Erlang on horseback in front of him, with a broken arrow stuck in his chest.
Yun Gui was no more than twelve years old, and his cheeks were still round and childish. At this moment, there was no blood on his lips, and there were blood stains on his pale face. His eyes were closed tightly, and he no longer had his usual lively and lovable look.
Yun Hui didn't feel the joy of surviving the disaster, nor did he care to feel the turbulent emotions of the people. He dismounted outside the governor's house, hugged his brother and walked quickly inside, shouting for a medical officer.
Not long after, Mrs. Yun followed closely, dismounted her horse and hurriedly crossed the gate of the mansion. However, the moment she crossed the threshold, she fell down with a "plop".
"lady!"
Chang Suining and two soldiers quickly stepped forward to help him up.
