In Puyang City, on the back street of the government office, shouts of killing were everywhere. Thousands of Jurchen soldiers and horses on the surrounding streets were surrounding them from all directions, heading towards the horse stable where Lin Jue and others were staying.
The situation was urgent, Lin Jue concentrated his wits and came up with a way. He quickly informed Sun Dayong, Bai Bing, Wanyan Mingyue and others of his idea, and everyone cheered. Wanyan Mingyue's chest and abdominal pain had recovered somewhat, and Wanyan
Although Aguda's kick was fierce, he still held back his strength after all. Wanyan Mingyue is also a martial arts practitioner, and her body is not that weak. Although this kick is powerful, it cannot make Wanyan Mingyue lose the ability to move.
"Let me carry Nian'er on my back. I'll ride a horse for a while. My horsemanship is better than yours." Wanyan Mingyue said.
This is true. Although Wanyan Mingyue grew up in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Jurchens were exposed to horses since they were born. Wanyan Mingyue was already galloping on horseback when she was a little girl. Living in the capital does not mean that she lives in seclusion.
Riding a horse for an outing is a common thing in my boudoir. After returning to the Jurchen tribe for three years, my immediate martial arts recovery is not much different from that of ordinary Jurchens. Lin Jue and others can ride horses again, but they are still lagging behind Wanyan Mingyue.
A cut.
"Can you physically ride a horse?" Lin Jue asked with concern.
"Don't worry, husband, that cold-blooded person can't even kick me to death." Wanyan Mingyue said.
Lin Jue nodded and said no more. If Wanyan Mingyue could take care of Lin Nian, one of the accompanying soldiers would be freed, which would increase their combat power. Everyone immediately took action and entered the fence.
I found saddles, bridles and other items in the shack, and quickly led six horses to assemble them.
After preparations were completed, the shouts of killing had already arrived nearby, torches were swaying all around, and countless figures were already rushing towards them along both sides of the long street.
"Commander, it's begun." Sun Dayong stood on the side of the fence near the street and shouted loudly.
Lin Jue nodded solemnly and said: "Okay."
Sun Dayong pulled out the Greedy Wolf Sword, and with a quick movement, the light of the sword flashed, and he chopped off the wood of the fence continuously. After several feet of distance, the logs for the fence were cut from both sides, and Sun Dayong raised his foot and kicked,
The fence collapsed, creating a gap two to three feet wide.
"Get ready" Lin Jue said loudly.
Everyone got on the horse and lay on its back. Wanyan Mingyue held Lin Nian in her arms and said softly: "Don't be afraid of Nian'er for a while, it's just like my mother taking you on a horse in the tribe, it's fun.
A real man, please don’t cry out of fear for a while.”
Lin Jue pulled out the tortoise box, faced the sky, and said with a smile: "Nian'er, look, daddy will set off a big firecracker for you."
Wanyan Mingyue hurriedly covered Lin Nian's ears and glared at Lin Jue. Lin Jue chuckled, his face turned cold, and he pulled the trigger. A loud bang was deafening. Hundreds of horses in the stable were suddenly startled by the loud noise.
, one by one neighed wildly and jumped. Sun Dayong and others also fired firearms in the sky at other locations. The entire herd of horses was frightened and began to run around. When they discovered the gap, they immediately swarmed and ran away from the gap.
They came out and rushed onto the long street in a chaotic manner. The horses of Lin Jue and others also rushed out of the gap with the horses and mixed in with the frightened horses and came to the street.
The horses that rushed onto the street began to gallop along the long street. There is a characteristic in the running of horses. They like to get together and run in one direction. One horse took the lead in galloping towards the west side street, and the rest of the horses followed.
They would follow the horse that ran first and run in a swarm. For a time, hundreds of frightened horses on the street formed a galloping torrent and headed straight towards the Jurchen soldiers and horses rushing towards the street on the west side.
Hundreds of personal guards led by Wanyan Aguda were rushing towards them. When they heard the roar of firearms, they thought that Lin Jue and others had been intercepted by others who had discovered their traces, and hurriedly urged their men to speed up.
However, when they suddenly saw a large group of frightened horses galloping towards them, they were startled, and the soldiers quickly ran away. Wanyan Aguda also jumped onto the stone steps next to the street in confusion to avoid them.
"They are in the horse herd, they are in the horse herd." A sharp-eyed soldier saw the figure lying on the horse among the horses, and immediately shouted loudly.
Wanyan Agu was stunned and shouted: "Stop them."
Everyone looked at each other, how could they stop this? This was a frightened horse. As an expert who knows horses best, the Jurchens naturally knew the danger of frightened horses. Don’t look at the war horses that are usually docile, but once frightened, they can be compared to ferocious beasts.
Generally speaking, it is absolutely not possible to use brute force to stop them. You can only follow their temperament and let them run until they are exhausted and return to normal.
But Wanyan Aguda made an example, and saw him leaping down from the stone steps, jumping on the back of a frightened horse, holding the mane with one hand and clamping the horse's belly, trying to control the frightened horse.
When a normal horse is pinched by Wanyan Agu's big legs, it will feel like its ribs are being clamped by iron pincers, and it will be obedient. However, unfortunately, the horse under Wanyan Agu's big crotch is exceptionally strong.
, also had a particularly violent temper. Instead of being obedient, it stood upright and almost threw Wanyan Aguda off his horse.
"Beast." Wanyan Agu became so angry that he hit the head with the mace in his right hand, smashing the horse's head immediately, and the horse fell to the ground. Wanyan Agu flew to the side of the road.
"Shoot the arrows and kill them all." Wanyan Aguda suddenly had an idea and thought of a way to stop Lin Jue and the others. At worst, he would kill all the horses, and he couldn't just watch them escape.
After Wanyan Aguda gave the order, the Jurchen soldiers bent their bows and set arrows to shoot at the horses. The one they especially greeted was the figure they found lying on the horse. Arrows shot at the horses from both sides.
However, the horses were running very fast. They only shot one round of arrows. The horses passed by in front of everyone and rushed to the distance of West Street like a gust of wind, leaving only dozens of horses lying dead on the street.
The war horses, as well as dozens of wounded war horses rolling over on the road, made a shrill neighing sound.
Wanyan Aguda's face was ashen. He knew that he did not stop Lin Jue and the others. He only saw a person on the horse who seemed to have been hit by an arrow, but that person was definitely not Lin Jue. Moreover, the person did not fall off the horse, but lay on the horse's back.
Without a trace.
"Get on your horse and chase them. We must not let them escape." Wanyan Agu roared loudly.
Not long after, the war horses arrived, and Wanyan Aguda and hundreds of his guards mounted their horses and chased them down the street. Not long after the chase, they saw more than a dozen fallen war horses on the street. They were not injured for a while after being shot.
The fallen war horse rushed forward for a long time before falling down. A corpse was also found, with two arrows on its back. It had already died. That was one of the guards who followed Lin Jue.
, but it was not Lin Jue. It was this person who Wanyan Aguda saw being hit by an arrow before. He persisted for a long time without falling, but in the end he was too seriously injured and fell off his horse and died on the road.
superior.
Wanyan Aguda and others continued to chase without stopping, following the path of the galloping horses until they reached the side of the west city wall. A soldier pointed in the direction of the city wall in front and shouted: "They are going up the city wall. They are going up the city wall."
Wanyan Agu stared at it. Under the dim light of the wind lantern on the city wall, several small black spots on the inner wall of the distant city wall were climbing up to the top of the city. They had no time to even go up the stairs to the city.
Instead, they climbed directly to the city in order to get out of the city as quickly as possible.
There were hundreds of steps away. Although Wanyan Aguda yelled anxiously, he had nothing to do. He could only watch those few black spots on the top of the city, and a group of patrol soldiers on the top of the city rushed after hearing the news.
After arriving, they were quickly slaughtered by the opponent like chopping melons and vegetables. Then Lin Jue and others disappeared, apparently entering the city from the other side.
"Big leader, what should I do? Are you still chasing me?" the deputy general of the bodyguard Wan Yanliang shouted.
"Chase! Damn it, we have to chase them to the end of the world. We must not let them escape. Open the city gate and chase them!" Wanyan Agu roared loudly.
Lin Jue and others escaped from the rope on the outside of the city wall. They had no time to rejoice and stop, and immediately ran towards the dark wilderness. Bai Bing blew a whistle while running, and the big black horse and Lin Jue's five-flowered horse led the others.
A horse galloped from the darkness. Although calling for the horse would reveal its whereabouts, it was better to have a horse instead of running on two legs in the wilderness.
Several people got on their horses and galloped towards the wilderness to the west. Behind them, the west gate of Puyang City was already open. Countless torches were pouring out from the city gate. The sound of horse hooves roared in the dark night. Wanyan Aguda and his people chased out.
The position was exposed on the whistle, and the soldiers and horses at the top of the city heard the sound and pointed the direction with torches. Wanyan Agu's soldiers and horses directly pursued Lin Jue and others in the direction of evacuation.
One chasing and the other escaping, due to the darkness and the difference in horse-driving ability, even though the horses Lin Jue selected were all good horses, the people driving the horses were not good enough, and the distance between the two parties became closer and closer. From the beginning,
Xu Zhi quickly closed to a distance of several hundred steps. The sound of galloping horse hooves by Lin Jue and others had been captured by the Jurchens and had been firmly locked.
Lin Jue suddenly reined in his horse and stopped.
Sun Dayong and others were shocked: "What happened to the Marshal?"
Lin Jue said: "Running like this is not an option. Sooner or later, we will be overtaken."
Everyone was in shock when they saw Lin Jue reaching out and taking out the long-barreled iron bullet gun from his back, quickly starting to load the ammunition, then sitting upright on the horse, raising the long gun and shaking it towards the torch, shouting "Kill the Sky"
Aim in the direction of the pursuer.
Sun Dayong and several personal guards were speechless. What are you doing, sir? Are you stupid? What use can a new firearm be used for? At this distance, can it hit someone? So what if it hits? But these words they said
No one dared to say it.
But seeing Lin Jue squinting and aiming quietly, a telescope was installed above the barrel of the long-barreled musket. Through the telescope, Lin Jue could clearly see the soldiers and horses running hundreds of steps away. Under the light of the torch,
You can even identify their general appearance.
Finally, the slowly moving barrel of the gun froze. Lin Jue locked the target, held his breath, and pulled the trigger. There was a bang, and in the light of the muzzle, a fine iron bead the size of a thumb fell from the gun.
