Chapter 154 He doesn't want to die
Under the blue sky and white sun, the once bustling and lively streets were in a mess. There was not a single person in Jinyang visible. There were only closed businesses and houses, as well as Turkic soldiers and horses galloping and looting unscrupulously.
However, not long after, the Turkic soldiers were the first to notice the abnormality: "Look at the city wall."
Everyone looked at the wall of Jinyang Palace and fell silent instantly.
There was not a single Sui soldier or a flag on the top of the city of Jinyang Palace. The city gate below was completely open towards them. The entire Jinyang Palace was as silent as a sleeping lion, which was heartbreaking.
numb.
The arrogant Turkic soldiers stopped running. You looked at me and I looked at you. They did not dare to act rashly.
They originally planned to take advantage of the situation to attack Jinyang Palace, but under the current situation, they suspected that there was an ambush in the city and did not dare to attack the inner city rashly.
But they were unwilling to leave just now, so the Turkic soldiers continued to plunder the outer city while still eyeing the inner city.
Li Yuanjian temporarily stopped the Turkic soldiers and quietly climbed onto the tower on the other side. After observing them for a while, he found that although the Turkic soldiers were numerous, they were running back and forth in the city and they were very scattered.
He thought for a while, went down from the tower, and told Wang Kangda and Yang Mao: "You two will lead your men to sneak to the north gate of the outer city to set up an ambush, plunder some horses, and test it out.
"Remember, you must wait until the Turkic army passes by and see the skirmishers guarding the horses behind, before you take action and snatch some of their horses for military use."
Wang Kangda and Yang Mao took the order and led more than a thousand of their troops to the north gate of the outer city quietly, hiding themselves in ambush and waiting for the opportunity.
While waiting, Turkic soldiers shuttled continuously through the city, and Wang Kangda and Yang Mao never found a chance.
After waiting quietly for two hours, they found that the Turkic team began to move intermittently, and soon they found a few skirmishers driving the horses towards them.
Wang Kangda thought that the large Turkic army had passed, so he waved his hand and ordered: "Attack."
The soldiers immediately rushed towards the horses.
But as soon as they killed a few Turkic skirmishers, a group of Turkic soldiers rushed over from behind. Only then did Wang Kangda realize that the large Turkic army had not passed through yet.
"withdraw."
Wang Kangda immediately gave an order and everyone ran forward.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they made a move, a group of Turkic soldiers came in front and blocked their way.
There are wolves in front of us and tigers in the back. We can only fight to the death. Wang Kangda shouted: "Brothers, fight with them."
The Sui army and the Turkic soldiers were caught in a melee. No, it should be said to be a one-sided massacre. These more than a thousand people were no match for the Turkic soldiers. In just a few seconds, hundreds of them were dead.
The soldiers of the Sui army were furious, fought and retreated, and were finally forced to the Fen River, where they all fell into the Fen River.
Wang Kangda was injured in the battle just now. After falling into the river, he couldn't swim after two swims, so he had to shout: "Help~"
But the surrounding soldiers thought that the Turkic soldiers were chasing after him, and were afraid that they would be caught and killed if they slowed down. They swam forward with all their heart and soul, and did not hear his cry for help at all.
Maybe someone heard him, but he didn't have the heart or energy to save him, so he had to pretend he didn't hear him.
"save...."
Wang Kangda's words were forced into his stomach by the river water. His eyes were instantly filled with despair and fear. He didn't want to die...
But his body began to sink, and the river water covered his neck, his face, his nostrils, his eyes...
"Wang Kangda, grab the rope."
Suddenly a familiar yet childish voice came.
He suddenly opened his eyes, used his last strength to flutter twice, and grabbed a rope in panic.
Wang Kangda felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, but the next moment his body sank suddenly again. He looked along the rope, and the hope in his eyes disappeared instantly.
At the end of the rope was Wang Yu, and she was pulling back hard. However, how could a six-year-old child pull him up as an adult?
He could feel his body continuing to sink, and he even saw Wang Yu's body being dragged by the rope and moving step by step toward the river.
Despite this, Wang Yu still did not give up saving him, even though one of her feet had stepped into the river.
Wang Kangda was blinded for a moment. Someone was trying so hard to save him, and he shouldn't give up.
So Wang Kangda tried his best to save his strength and tried to swim to the other side. However, his injuries were too serious. When he exerted force, his eyesight turned black and he would faint at any time.
Wang Yu originally wanted to sneak over to take a look at the situation, but he didn't expect to see Wang Kangda and others fail in their action, and then helplessly saw them being forced into the river by the Turkic soldiers.
She was so anxious that she wanted to call for help, but she saw Wang Kangda's body sinking in the river. If she didn't rescue him at this time, he would die.
So she searched around, finally found a rope, and quickly threw the rope towards Wang Kangda.
But she forgot that she was only a six-year-old child now, and she was not strong enough to pull Wang Kangda away. Instead, she would be dragged down the Fen River by Wang Kangda.
"Don't let go, hold on tight." Wang Yu shouted when he saw Wang Kangda's eyes were slightly closed, as if he couldn't hold on any longer.
But this is not the way to go.
Wang Yu looked around and saw that several people had already swam up. Others in the water were some distance away from Wang Kangda and had too much time to take care of themselves.
She quickly said to the people on the shore: "Everyone, come and help me."
Several people collapsed on the ground, looked at each other, and said feebly: "Xiao Yu'er...it's not us...if we don't help...it's really...we don't have the strength..."
Wang Yu was so anxious that he was sweating drop by drop. Because the hand holding the rope was too hard, the veins on the back of his hand were highlighted.
"let me help you."
A strong, wet man limped over.
Wang Kangda vaguely heard Wang Yu calling for help, and vaguely heard them saying they had no strength. The last hope in his heart was shattered.
Xiao Yu'er is still young, so he can't harm her.
Wang Kangda slowly loosened his fingers.
When his last finger was about to leave the rope, he heard Wang Yu's voice again: "Wang Kangda, don't let go."
Then a strong force pulled him forward.
The desire to survive deep in his heart prompted him to grasp the rope tightly again and open his heavy eyelids.
He saw at the other end of the rope, besides Wang Yu, there was another person, his partner-Yang Mao.
Wang Yu exited the Fen River and went ashore. The rope between her and Wang Kangda became shorter and shorter. It wasn't until she caught Wang Kangda's cold index finger that she threw away the rope.
Yang Mao leaned over and grabbed Wang Kangda's wrist and pulled him up.
"Are you okay?" Wang Yu asked Wang Kangda.
Wang Kangda gave her a smile that he thought was pretty but was actually ugly: "...I can't die..."
"I'll help you."
Wang Yu grabbed Wang Kangda's arm and put it on his shoulder, supporting him to move forward.
Before taking two steps, they both fell to the grass.
"I'll do it."
Yang Mao limped forward and squatted down: "Put him on my back."
