The messenger Wang Xian sent to Boxing returned to Gaoqing City less than an hour after setting off.
"Why are you back again?" At the gate of the city, Dai Hua was very surprised when he saw the royal guard who was acting as a messenger leaving and returning.
"I met people sent by General Liu on the road," the Jin Yiwei said obviously angrily: "Where is sir? I have an urgent military intelligence report!"
"It's on the city gate tower." Dai Hua didn't dare to neglect and quickly took him and a Liu Xin soldier up to the city gate tower.
"Sir," as soon as they got to the tower, the Jin Yiwei saw Wang Xian who was carefully reviewing the map. He didn't have time to salute, so he reported in a deep voice: "It's a serious matter. After Liu Xin captured Boxing City, he forgot what he said.
Chasing the defeated troops of the King of Han, we went to attack Binzhou City!"
"What?!" The charcoal pen in Wang Xian's hand immediately broke into two pieces. He suddenly turned around and his eyes fell on Liu Xin's soldiers behind the Jin Yiwei.
"Yes..." The soldier had been beaten hard by the Jin Yiwei before. Seeing Wang Xian's violent reaction now, he was even more trembling and speechless, "Yes, our general, and, discussed with the Buddha Mother,
I feel like this is an opportunity not to be missed..."
"Bullshit!" Wang Xian interrupted the soldier rudely and asked angrily: "How many people did Liu Xin bring? When did he set off?"
"Our general brought eight or eight thousand soldiers and horses," the soldier swallowed, lowered his head and said, "As soon as we captured Boxing last night, we set off without stopping..."
"Is he rushing to reincarnate?!" Wang Xian cursed angrily, suppressing his anger, and turned to look at the map. Binzhou is sixty miles away from Boxing. If he pursued overnight, he should have arrived at the foot of Binzhou City by now.
!
Wang Xian's eyes finally stopped at the Xiaoqing River beside Binzhou City. If he were the king of Han, he would definitely cross the river here to attack him!
"These idiots!" Wang Xian cursed: "80% of them have already been made into dumplings!"
The soldier was so frightened that he could not speak. Wang Xian waved his hands impatiently, and Dai Hua quickly pulled him away to prevent him from disturbing Wang Xian here.
Wang Xian paced back and forth in front of the map with his hands behind his back. Just as he was about to speak, he saw another Jin Yi guard coming up quickly. The expression on his face was even more frightened than the previous one.
"What's the matter?" Wang Xian pressed his brows and asked in a deep voice.
"Sir, my brothers in Le'an Prefecture have found out that there are a large number of Mongolian cavalry in the Han Dynasty's army, numbering about five thousand!" the Jin Yiwei reported in a deep voice.
"What?!" Wang Xian was shocked and speechless. After a while, he asked in a deep voice: "How come there are so many Mongolian cavalry? Did they fall from the sky?!"
"According to the investigation, it should have set off from Liaodong by boat and disembarked in Lijin County at noon yesterday!" The Jin Yiwei whispered: "Because the other party's confidentiality work was very good, the brothers only discovered this army before dawn today, so they hurriedly
Come and report!"
"Yes." Wang Xian nodded. The Jin Yiwei had done an impeccable job and he couldn't blame him for everything. But this news confirmed Wang Xian's guess - the King of Han had been showing weakness before, just waiting for this army to be in place. Now Liu
It would be unreasonable for the King of Han not to stab him if he bumped into that idiot!
"Sir, what should I do?" Deng Xiaoxian also knew the seriousness of the problem and asked in a low voice: "If we let it go, Liu Xin and Buddha Mother will definitely die!"
"Yes." Wang Xian closed his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air: "If these two people die, our entire plan will collapse..."
After speaking, Wang Xian turned around and looked into the distance, silent for a while.
Deng Xiaoxian and others looked at each other in shock. They knew that Wang Xian was telling the truth. Liu Xin was a staunch leader of the war faction and Elder Tang's right-hand man. If this person died, the tone of the peace faction would definitely rise eight degrees higher! And without this staunch leader,
Supporters, even Wang Xian's own words will have a much lighter weight, and even directly cause him to lose control of the White Lotus Sect.
As for the Buddha Mother, needless to say, she is the spiritual leader of the White Lotus Sect. If she is killed in front of the battle as soon as the war begins, the morale of the White Lotus Sect's military and people will probably collapse!
Wang Xian cannot afford to lose either of these two people, let alone losing them at the same time...
But when it came to rescue...when they thought that their opponents were the King of Han and his 10,000 cavalry, everyone's scalps went numb. Even if they could save those two people, they would probably have to shed their skin if they didn't die!
"Sir..." But at this moment, time is life, and not a single minute can be wasted. Seeing Wang Xian's hesitation, Deng Xiaoxian could only whisper): "You have to make a decision immediately whether to save or not to save."
Wang Xian did not turn around, but nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. No one knew what kind of mental journey he was going through - he actually thought of the time in Qingzhou City and Hulu Valley half a year ago, when he also encountered the same problem.
He chose to send troops for rescue, but fell into the enemy's trap. As a result, the brothers who were following him were almost wiped out...
This time, the same choice is before you again. Will your choice cost the lives of your brothers again?!
Thinking of this, Wang Xian finally turned around and looked at the group of brothers who had reunited around him. Tears flashed in his eyes and his lips trembled a few times.
He took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice: "I just thought about the same situation half a year ago. Because of my stupid decision, Zhou Yong, Zhou Gan, Hu Sandao, Shi Wan... those who came to Shandong with me...
Brothers, they all died in Calabash Valley. So this time, I should be smarter and stop caring about the lives of those people. It is more important to save my brothers."
"Sir, this is wrong. When have we ever been afraid of death?!" A guard in royal robes said in a loud voice, and everyone nodded: "As long as you think it's right, sir, what if we go through fire and water?!"
Under the resolute eyes of the brothers, Wang Xian's voice changed from trembling to determined, and he said in a deep voice: "But then I figured it out, this time is different from last time. Last time we didn't know why we were fighting, so we died.
Unjustly accused! This time we know that everything we did was for ourselves and for our dead brothers!" Wang Xian's voice became more and more passionate, and everyone's emotions were also infected by him, and everyone became excited!
"We want our enemies to die without a burial place! We want to avenge our brothers who died! We want the world to know that they did not die from a stupid defeat, but from a dirty conspiracy!" Wang Xian said through gritted teeth.
: "It was those dirty conspirators who stabbed our brothers in the back for their ulterior motives!"
Everyone nodded heavily, with tears in their eyes, chests rising and falling, trying to control their emotions.
"So, in order to achieve our goal, so what if we are shattered to pieces?!" Wang Xian punched the map hard, and finally said the word "save"!
"I have decided that I will personally lead three thousand cavalry to rescue, while the rest will stick to Gaoqing!" Wang Xian's eyes swept across the brothers.
"Yes!" Everyone accepted the order in unison, their voices reaching into the sky!
Outside Binzhou City, by the Xiaoqing River, Liu Xin's thousand elite soldiers risked their lives, but they could only delay the Han king's army from having a meal...
After a meal, a thousand elite soldiers were killed by the Mongolian cavalry of the King of Han's army. Buddha's mother fought side by side with these soldiers until the end, and then, under the protection of more than a dozen cavalry, she left the battlefield with the unconscious Liu Xin.
At this time, thousands of Qingzhou Army soldiers had already penetrated deep into the tidal flats along the river, one foot deep and one foot shallow, using all their strength to break through to the upper reaches of the river.
After seeing the blood, the Mongolian cavalry became even more brutal. After killing all the Qingzhou soldiers who were blocking the attack, they roared and rushed towards the large group of soldiers and horses fleeing on the river beach! In the eyes of these Mongolian cavalry, all that was left was to kill as much as they wanted.
, and then receive rewards based on head count!
However, something unexpected happened. As soon as the leading Mongolian cavalry rushed into the tidal flat, the horses suddenly fell into the mud with their hooves. No matter how hard their masters drove them, they could not move forward!
Seeing this, the cavalry behind them could only stop their horses and try to enter the river beach elsewhere. Unexpectedly, the entire Xiaoqing River was the same. As soon as their horses entered, they got stuck in the mud and could not move forward at all!
These Mongolian cavalry could only shoot arrows on the edge of the river, but the distance was too far and they couldn't hit a few Qingzhou troops! Seeing the large sum of silver reward slip away from their eyes, they screamed anxiously!
It turns out that it is late autumn and early winter, and the water level of Xiaoqing River has dropped so much that the river has turned into a tidal flat more than a mile wide!
These tidal flats are dry on the surface, but they are covered with silt underneath. People are still in danger of falling into them if they walk on them. If a war horse walks on them, they will most likely sink into the silt and be unable to move forward!
Liu Xin was able to find such a way for his subordinates to avoid the cavalry in an extremely critical situation, which is considered a great skill...
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu, surrounded by generals, came down to the beach, and the Mongolian cavalry calmed down.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu sneered: "Unexpectedly, Liu Xin is not a complete idiot, but he is quite quick-witted."
"Your Majesty, the general is willing to lead the infantry in pursuit!" Zhu Heng quickly asked for orders.
"No need, what are these lost dogs worth chasing?" Zhu Gaoxu looked at the other side of the river. The war there was basically over. His 10,000 infantrymen killed more than 1,000 Han soldiers on the south bank of the river!
"You immediately lead people to conquer Boxing, and then attack Linzi non-stop." Zhu Gaoxu still couldn't forget Linzi. It is true that his current territory is too dangerous. Without the gate of Linzi, his hometown will be threatened at any time!
"Yes!" Zhu Heng accepted the order in a deep voice and rode away.
Hearing that the more than 5,000 defeated troops should be ignored, the King of Han's men were fine, and the Mongols were quitting, Ula-ulla started shouting!
"What are they talking about?" Zhu Gaoxu looked at the group of Mongolians and asked Hou Tai who was standing aside.
Hou Tai was a Mongolian, and he quickly whispered: "They are complaining, and the bounty they got has flown away."
"Hahaha!" Zhu Gaoxu laughed loudly and said to Hou Tai: "Tell them, don't worry, follow me to chase someone. If you catch up with that person, the reward they will get will be twice the original!"
Hou Tai quickly translated this to the Mongolians. The Mongolians immediately became excited, howling and chasing Zhu Gaoxu out along the river! For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
