After hearing Wu Zuo's affirmative words, Ao Dun was completely relieved.
"The whole army mounts up, be on guard, and charge across the valley at full speed." After that, Ao Dun climbed onto his horse and took the sword in his hand. His men changed their formation and all went to lead the horses.
Just when the formation of the Yuan army was in chaos, a yellow-spotted figure was seen running quickly through the wind and snow. This figure rushed into the crowd like a tiger. Dakui was waiting for this opportunity. He rushed into the crowd and stabbed two people with his sword.
The soldier jumped up again and was already in front of Ao Dun.
To shoot a man first, shoot a horse, and to capture a thief first capture the king. Only when Dakui killed Ao Dun in one fell swoop could the Yuan soldiers be defeated without a fight.
"Here comes the tiger spirit!" I don't know who shouted in the crowd, and nearly a thousand soldiers suddenly fell into chaos.
Ao Dun's eyes flashed, and Dakui was already approaching. In desperation, Ao Dun retreated quickly and reached out to pull Wu Zuo beside him to block him. With a flash of sword light, Wu Zuo's body was in a different place.
"Kill him." Ao Dun roared in shock. This roar immediately silenced the chaotic people. Ao Dun's personal soldiers also stepped forward to rescue him. For a moment, Ao Dun was surrounded by three layers of soldiers.
It was surrounded by wind and rain.
With just a slight miss, Dakui succeeded with one blow. But at this moment, it was extremely difficult to kill Ao Dun. He swung his sword and connected with the three Yuan soldiers, and Dakui pulled away and retreated. Little did he know that there was a shouting behind him.
The way was blocked by more than a dozen sword and shield men.
Dakui gritted his teeth and rushed towards the sword and shield hand. He jumped up while running and slashed his sword straight at the two shield-wielding soldiers. There were two loud "chacha" sounds, followed by two screams.
With one strike of Dakui's sword, he cut two Yuan soldiers with shields into two pieces. As soon as he fell, Dakui turned around and moved forward, spinning his body and getting up with his right leg. A sword-and-shielder had just come close and had no time to raise his shield.
To protect himself, Dakui kicked him on the side of the head. After the Yuan Bing was hit, his body fell into the crowd like a cat in the wind.
Once the move was successful, Dakui didn't stop any longer. In a blink of an eye, he rushed into the vast snow, but a roar came from behind: "Fire arrows for me."
When Dakui heard this roar, he couldn't help being shocked. At this moment, he was surrounded by nothing, so what if Yuan soldiers fired arrows? Before he could think about it, there was already the sound of bowstrings behind him. Dakui was so anxious that his figure suddenly changed.
As he turned and scurried away, there was a whistling sound beside him, and dozens of long arrows were nailed to the place where he just stopped.
With a secret cry of danger, Dakui did not dare to stop and galloped southward. The sound of horse hooves was heard in an instant behind him. Yuan soldiers had already mounted their horses to chase after him. Dakui couldn't help but feel happy. Not only did his feet slow down slightly, but even though
This also greatly amazed the Yuan soldiers. They had never seen anyone who could outrun a galloping horse, so this was an eye-opener.
Dakui ran in front, and the Yuan soldiers galloped behind in hot pursuit. During this period, there was a hail of arrows, and Dakui almost hit the arrow several times. The Yuan soldiers were good at riding and shooting, and Dakui knew it well. The plan for now is
To bring the Yuan soldiers to Dingxi unscathed, Kang Maocai should have laid an ambush in Dingxi, just waiting for Ao Dun to come and die.
Dakui ran all the way. In order to avoid the random arrows behind him, he did not dare to run straight, so he could only run in a zigzag route. In this way, he ran with all his strength to match the speed of the Yuan cavalry behind him. He ran one full mile after chasing the other.
For a long time, Dakui lured the Yuan soldiers to chase him while paying attention to the surrounding scenery. This place has entered the hilly area. It is said that it should be in the territory of Dingxi, but why there is no movement of the Ming army.
As he was running along, a sharp arrow came from behind through the wind. He heard its sound and recognized its power. This arrow was no small matter. Da Kui suddenly turned to the left, and the sharp arrow passed by and nailed into the ground not far away. The arrow body was actually
It was not even halfway through, and the arrowhead was still trembling. Seeing this, Da Kui couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. It was expected that the arrow would be fine if it hit his body, but if it hit his arm or legs, then his life would be at stake.
Every time he ran, a fatal arrow would be shot behind him. Every time Da Kui tried his best to dodge, he got closer to the pursuers. Looking around at the terrain, he had already passed the hilly area, but there was still no movement from the Ming army. Da Kui's heart
I was shocked, what happened? Just as I was wondering, my right leg felt a bone-shattering pain while running, and Dakui was hit by an arrow in his right leg.
This arrow was shot from the back of the calf. Although the force was not strong, it made Dakui stagnate. Dakui sighed in his heart: 'My life is at stake, but even if I die, I can't let Yuan Bing catch me easily.'
Dakui thought so in his heart that he went straight to the last steep slope with the arrow in his leg.
Ao Dun was galloping on his horse when he saw Dakui running in front of him was hit by an arrow in the leg. He immediately shouted: "Capture the general of the Ming army alive and you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of red gold. Go ahead." This shout made all the Yuan soldiers scream.
Yelling, like a pack of hungry wolves seeing blood, they whipped their horses and chased the injured Da Kui.
Dakui had already reached the top of the slope after several leaps. After being injured, he ran wildly. The wound on his leg was bleeding profusely all the way. When he reached the top of the slope and saw the scenery on the other side of the slope, Dakui felt his body go limp.
He fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
Ao Dun saw Dakui lying on the top of the slope from a distance. Not only did he shout excitedly, he actually rushed up the steep slope first. Nearly a thousand soldiers behind him rushed towards the steep slope.
Unexpectedly, the Yuan army had just reached halfway when a shout of killing suddenly sounded from the top of the slope.
Hearing this movement, Ao Dun hurriedly reined in his horse and shouted: "Withdraw the troops, there is an ambush." After he finished speaking, he heard the wind in his ears, and arrows were coming in front of him. Ao Dun stretched out his hand to pick up his shield and put it above his head.
He quickly ordered his horse to retreat. However, the soldiers of the Yuan army beside him were hit by arrows and fell from their horses, causing heavy casualties in an instant.
The Ming army allowed the Yuan soldiers to retreat, but did not pursue them. Ao Dun led his troops to escape for a while, but when he looked back, he saw that the steep slope was completely bare, but not a single soul could be seen.
Da Kui woke up leisurely and his legs felt warm. He saw Yang Xiaohu holding a white silk cloth and covering Da Kui's injury. Yang Xiaohu's eyes were filled with tears and he gritted his teeth to hold back from crying.
Dakui looked around and saw that besides Kang Maocai, there were also a group of Ming army soldiers. Seeing the Ming army, Dakui felt a little relieved, but he immediately realized something was wrong and quickly asked: "How many people are there in our army on this trip?"
Kang Maocai sighed, and Yang Xiaohu said harshly: "Vice-General Sun Qian refused to send troops, and there are only two hundred personal guards for this trip."
Dakui couldn't help being furious when he heard this: "Sun Qian dares to disobey?"
Kang Maocai sighed quietly: "Someone from the imperial court came, and Sun Qian was promoted to the general of the forward army."
Hearing this, Dakui was like a thunderbolt. He not only shouted and asked: "He is the general, then who am I?"
Kang Maocai had no choice but to tell the truth: "Emperor Taizu has issued an edict, General, you will serve as the crown prince's Taibao, the censor of Zhongshu Province's Zuodu and the prefect of Jeju." After saying this, he ordered his soldiers: "Hurry up and protect Mr. Zhang and evacuate this place first."
."
Fortunately, Kang Maocai changed his name to Dakui.
Hearing this, Dakui couldn't help shouting: "We will be outside, and you will not accept your order. The enemy is right in front of you. Do you want me, Zhang Dakui, to retreat before the battle?"
Yang Xiaohu carefully hugged one of Dakui's legs, but said nothing. Kang Maocai had no choice but to persuade: "General, you don't know. I was going to bring troops and told General Sun Qian about the plan."
, Who would have thought that Sun Qian said that I should not seek political advice if I am not in his position, but he actually refused to send troops. These soldiers in front of you are all my former subordinates, and I have disobeyed military orders during this trip."
Kang Maocai said that he climbed up to the top of the slope and took a careful look. He couldn't help but said in shock: "My lord, hurry up. The Yuan soldiers are still within a stone's throw away. If it's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape." After that, he didn't wait for Dakui's reaction.
, instructing his soldiers to lift his arms, lift his legs, and carry Da Kui away.
Although Da Kui was filled with hatred, there was nothing he could do. He could only endure the pain and mount the prepared war horses. Yang Xiaohu and Kang Maocai led only a few soldiers to the rear. Two hundred soldiers protected Da Kui and slowly headed west.
Ao Dun stared at the steep slope for a long time but saw no movement. Then he took a closer look at the place where he had just retreated and found that his casualties were less than a hundred. This shows that the number of the Ming army must not be large.
Thinking of this, Ao Dun immediately gave an order loudly: "The Ming army is small in number. The whole army obeys the order. Come with me and rush up the slope to capture the Ming army general alive. Charge." After shouting, he raised his sword and rode his horse to charge forward.
Upon seeing this, his soldiers' fighting spirit that had just dissipated instantly rose. They shouted in unison and followed Ao Dun on horseback, charging towards the steep slope again.
