Chapter 52
Seven or eight of the Ming army knights following behind him had been killed. Li Xiao was very smart and followed Ao Canghai closely. But the situation of Young Master Yuan was a little bad. The three yellow flag mounted cavalry were like wolves.
Pounce on this guy holding a long sword. Most of the Ming Dynasty cavalry used sabers. This is the result of long-term fighting with the Mongols! If this man uses a long sword, then he must be an official.
This man is so young and holds a long sword. Even if he is not an official, he is still a big shot. If you chop off his head or capture him alive, there will definitely be a big reward.
Three war horses from the opposite side rushed over. The first war horse Yuan An slashed with his sword. The powerful force made his arms numb. Then the second saber came over and Yuan An clenched his sword to block again.
.This time, his tiger's mouth was split open by the shock. There was a big gap in the long sword. Finally, Yuan Ang gritted his teeth and did not let go of the sword.
Two knights had already rushed over, but the third man howled and slashed at him. A crisp sound was heard, and Yuan An's long sword was actually cut into two pieces. When the blade struck, Yuan An was still clever. He moved toward
He leaned back and almost fell off the horse. The blade grazed the tip of his nose, and his nose was missing by an inch.
The three cavalrymen with yellow flags rushed past. When they saw that they had not killed the boy, they immediately came back with their saddlebags, intending to chop the boy in front of them into pieces.
Unexpectedly, the longbow in Ao Canghai's hand fired like a barrage of cannons. The three men who turned around when their horses slowed down were all shot, and they screamed and fell off their horses.
In this round of interception, twelve of the fifteen people were killed. Only Ao Canghai, Li Xiao and Yuan Ang were left running away desperately.
Huang Taiji drew out his bow and arrow, aimed briefly at the horse that was galloping in the distance, and then shot it. The arrow was impartial, hitting the eye of the horse under Yuan Ang's crotch. The long arrow penetrated into the brain, and in front of the horse that was galloping at high speed.
The hoof gave way. Yuan Ang, who was unprepared, was immediately thrown away!
The ground covered with a thin layer of snow was as hard as a rock. Yuan An's body actually rolled twice when he fell to the ground.
"Young Master!" Li Xiao shouted and saw blood pouring from Yuan An's nose and mouth.
"Let's go! Why are you stopping? You're looking for death!" Seeing Li Xiao actually slowing down, he wanted to go back to rescue. Ao Canghai slapped Li Xiao's horse on the buttocks, and the slowing horse under Li Xiao's crotch began to gallop again.
Li Xiao also knew that if he fell off a horse at such a speed, it would be impossible to survive. Judging from his appearance, his neck should have been broken. With such an injury these days, it is basically equivalent to death.
The people under Xianghuang's flag continued to chase, but Huang Taiji reached out to stop them.
"Let them move reinforcements. The more people come out of Liaoyang City, the better it will be for us. Cheer up, the Great Khan is going to start attacking the Ming army camp. This time, we raise the yellow flag and cannot let others compete."
Huang Taiji barged his horse and left, and the cavalry with yellow flags behind him also followed Huang Taiji.
Li Xiao and Ao Canghai ran away without their lives! Seeing that Xianghuang's banner was not chasing them, they still urged their horses to run wildly. After only running for more than ten miles, they actually saw a large Ming army camp. In the middle of the camp, there was a
A big flag with a big Chinese character Zhu written on it.
"Zhu Wanliang's camp?" Ao Canghai and Li Xiao were almost crazy with joy. They didn't expect the reinforcements to be so close. As long as Zhu Wanliang's entire army moves forward and cooperates with the Qi army to alternately cover the retreat, it is still possible to retreat into Liaoyang City.
When the two men came to a stone's throw away, a sounding arrow immediately came out to warn them.
"The envoy from the Zhejiang Army has asked to see General Zhu. He has something important to report." Ao Canghai quickly reined in his horse and shouted loudly.
After a while, dozens of cavalrymen galloped out. The captain in front looked at Ao Canghai and saw that the half-year-old child was alone. He said, "Follow me." Then he barged his horse and galloped towards the camp.
go.
Entering the Chinese army tent, a wave of hot air hit his face and felt indescribably comfortable. Li Xiao, who was almost stunned by the cold, was almost in tears. He had never felt such a good feeling of warmth! His face was numb and itchy, and his hands were numb.
It was numb and itchy. Li Xiao swore that he would ask Sister Qiao to sew him a pair of gloves when he went back.
"What do you want to report to me when you see me? Where are the Zhejiang soldiers now?" Zhu Wanliang asked in a deep voice when he saw the two people coming in.
Li Xiao saw General Zhu, who had a white complexion and three long beards under his chin. He was wearing soft armor and was sitting behind the commander's desk without being angry. It was freezing outside, but inside the Chinese army tent it was as warm as
spring.
Under General Zhu's head, there sat a dark-faced general who was wearing heavy armor. His age could not be seen with his helmet. But just sitting there, he had a calmness like Mount Tai.
"My lord, the Zhejiang soldiers and the remnants of the Baigan soldiers are besieged by the Tatars on the south bank of the Hun River. Please send your troops to rescue as soon as possible! Here is a letter from General Qi, the general of the Zhejiang soldiers!"
"Oh, the remnants of the white pole soldiers." Zhu Wanliang and Jiang Bi looked at each other. The white pole soldiers were known as the strongest soldiers in the southwest, but they were reduced to remnants in one day? After receiving Qi Jin's letter, he pressed
There is no intention to open the case at all.
"The Baigan soldiers fought with the Tatars yesterday and suffered heavy losses. Now they are joining forces with the Zhejiang soldiers. I also ask the commander-in-chief to send reinforcements as soon as possible. If it is late, I am afraid that the Zhejiang soldiers...!"
"I know! I know! Get down!" Zhu Wanliang waved his hand impatiently.
"Sir!" Ao Canghai was still unwilling.
"Back off!" Zhu Wanliang shouted, and the soldiers beside him immediately came over and dragged Ao Canghai out.
"Slow down!" Jiang Bi suddenly said.
The soldiers glanced at Zhu Wanliang and immediately put down Ao Canghai when they saw that Zhu Wanliang was silent.
"You look like the head of the prefect's yamen, called Ao or something? How did you end up among the Zhejiang soldiers?" Jiang Bi asked doubtfully.
"General, I have been appointed by Lord Fu to supervise the army and civilians. General Zhejiang's troops are in danger. If there is no support, the entire army will be destroyed!" Ao Canghai pleaded with a tearful voice.
"Oh, go down!" Jiang Bi said lightly.
"Master General, please don't think about the brothers of the Zhejiang Army. You should also think about Master Jinglue's son. Mr. Yuan is now trapped on the south bank of the Hun River. If you don't rescue him quickly, I'm afraid it won't be possible to go to Jinglue by then.
Your Majesty, please explain." Seeing that the soldiers were coming up again, Li Xiao suddenly said.
Ao Canghai glanced at Li Xiao in surprise. Others didn't know that he knew that Yuan An had died on the way to break out of the encirclement. I'm afraid his body was hardened now!
"Hmm...! The eldest son is in the army?" Zhu Wanliang asked with eyes wide open. He can ignore others, but Mr. Jinglue's son is in the army, so he cannot ignore it.
"This is true. In order to boost morale, Mr. Jinglue ordered the eldest son to lead the Yuan family servants to rescue Shenyang. They are among the Zhejiang soldiers!" Before Li Xiao had time to speak, Jiang Bi rushed to say.
"Oh, so! Who are you?" Zhu Wanliang asked, staring at Li Xiao.
"The villain is always with the eldest son. He broke out this time to ask for help from Lord Jinglue." Li Xiao replied loudly. He didn't have the slightest fear towards the commander-in-chief.
