Five hundred and thirtieth chapters Shenzhou Wumeng
Chapter 530: China Martial Alliance
"Is everything over like this?" Li Xiao felt an indescribable feeling of powerlessness in his heart. He raised his head and looked at Xin Jiao, Fu Ruoshui and others standing on the bow of the boat, staring at him from a distance. Li Xiao gave a fierce look.
Gritting his teeth: "No, my lord and mistress have been so kind to me. If the two princes cannot break out of the siege, then all our efforts will be in vain, and the soldiers will also sacrifice their lives in vain. We must cheer up!"
As soon as Ji Qing and others arrived at the other side, before the ferry had stopped, they all jumped into the river and staggered towards the shore. The merchant ship turned around in the river and quickly headed towards the ferry.
Row from the south bank.
"Don't panic!" Li Xiao shouted loudly. At this time, all the Hetao cavalry had rushed to the edge of the ferry. They hurried their horses into the river and let them swim to the other side. All the soldiers immediately formed a formation.
A thick infantry phalanx blocked the area near the ferry, preventing Qinchuan soldiers from getting close.
On the north bank, it gradually became clear that the army coming from the east was actually the army of the Eastern Japanese Dynasty.
Seeing this situation, a guard commander, Long Kan, suddenly grabbed Li Xiao's arm and said: "Legion Commander, you cross the river immediately, we will support you here."
Li Xiao was furious: "What? Am I, Li Xiao, a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Long Kan said anxiously: "Legion Commander, that's not what I mean. It's just that Ji Qing is only good at fighting and not good at tactics at all. Without your personal command, they will probably be annihilated soon."
Li Xiao was shocked. The authorities were so confused that he actually forgot his responsibilities. Ji Qing's personal martial arts skills were quite good and he had studied at Xuanyuan Military Academy for a long time. Even on the battlefield, he was a rare general. However, he was too young after all.
, unlike Wu Xiaolangjun who has been fighting for a long time, and his mission from the beginning to the end is to protect the safety of God, so there is still a big gap compared with Li Xiao in terms of tactical intervening and strategic command. In the end,
The important thing is that they have no clear strategic goals and cannot adapt to the actual situation on the battlefield. And Li Xiao is the person who shoulders this task.
Understanding the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, Li Xiao glanced at the soldiers around him, suddenly jumped onto a merchant ship, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, I, Li Xiao, will go first! Don't worry, everyone, I, Li Xiao, will come to accompany you after the matter is finished."
Let’s all drink together!”
Long Kan laughed loudly: "Legion commander, go slowly! Brothers, for the sake of the Lord and the Mistress, and for the millions of fellow villagers in the Loop, everyone must hold on tightly!"
Among the thousands of soldiers on the south bank, only Li Xiao jumped on the ferry, and the rest stood at their positions. They were cavalry, but they had no choice now. They must do their best to save Li Xiao, Ji Qing and others.
Buy time. At least, if they delay Li Tiezhan and others for an extra quarter of an hour here, Li Xiao and others will have an extra quarter of an hour.
Li Xiao quickly arrived at the other side and hurriedly collected the horses that swam across the river. Li Xiao roughly counted the number of people, but found that he was the only one left in his Red Snake Legion. Jiang Ning was sending Li Xiao off
After arriving at the north bank, he returned to the south bank without hesitation. Ji Qing's Xuanyuan Guards had less than 400 people left. However, there were thousands of horses swimming over, with three horses per person, which could speed up the process greatly.
own marching speed.
"Soldiers, aim for Yumen Pass!" Li Xiao raised the spear in his hand and protected Xin Jiao and the others. Looking back, he happened to hear a generous and tragic song coming from the south bank of the ferry:
"If you don't see me, the army of the Han Dynasty will be over, and the weak and crowned prisoners will be waiting for long tassels; if you don't see me, the squad will be far away, and the light cavalry of the Jueyu will urge the war clouds! A man should be in danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss his life? The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feathers and feathers are competing to gallop. There is no stopping! Abandoning my pen from the past, I carry my wartime diary, calling out more than one hundred thousand comrades, singing war hymns to join the army together. Join the army together, clean up the dust, and vow to sweep away the barbarians without caring about their own lives! I can't bear to miss my home. , I generously expressed my heart to serve my country. I went to the battlefield with a proud smile, and the flag was fluttering. The sun was not shining. I blew my breath into the moon, and I stretched my long arrow to shoot the wolf."
Crossing the river does not mean safety. Almost as soon as Li Xiao got on his horse, Dongbo's 50,000-strong army had already arrived.
Hetao and Dongbo are old acquaintances. However, Li Xiao has never fought against Dongbo. Since the establishment of Hetao, Li Xiao has been stationed in the Yinfeng Mountains. Even when he regained the Northwest Second Road, Li Xiao was only He temporarily left his station, but returned soon. But Li Xiao didn't expect that the first time he left, he would run for his life like a lost dog.
Although Dekang Baoqi was not a famous general in Dongbo, he was able to stand out among the many sons who were convinced by Dekang, and he was still quite good. Although Dongbo were all soldiers, their speed was not much slower than Li Xiao and others. Dongwo is also a well-tested army. With just a wave of his hand, an infantry force of ten thousand people moved towards the due north to outflank them, obviously preparing to kill Li Xiao and others in one fell swoop.
"Dreaming!" Li Xiao snorted coldly, and hundreds of cavalrymen rushed towards the north without any hesitation. His goal was not Yumen Pass, but at least he had to go north first to get rid of the entanglement of the Japanese, and then headed towards Go east to find Haotian.
Although the Eastern Japanese army is cruel, murderous and fierce, if they want to rely on infantry and cavalry for a head-on confrontation, the simple bamboo armor of the Eastern Japanese soldiers cannot stop the impact of the cavalry. Unfortunately, this Hetao cavalry did not They were not heavy cavalry from the Bloody Plateau, but a group of light cavalry. The blade of the Japanese sword from the East Japan was one and a half meters long, and holding the sword in both hands was enough to cause huge damage to the light cavalry.
However, Li Xiao was not a fool. He deliberately brought out hundreds of more horses, not just to improve the mobility and speed of the cavalry. When necessary, these horses could also serve as death squads.
He waved to Ji Qing. Ji Qing understood and quickly stabbed the butt of the war horse next to him. The war horse was frightened and rushed towards the Eastern Japanese Army with a long hiss. The Eastern Japanese Army had not had time yet. After arranging his team, hundreds of war horses rushed forward, and the formation suddenly became more chaotic. Li Xiao took advantage of the situation to attack, and although several soldiers remained on the battlefield, he still successfully broke through the encirclement.
"General, are you still pursuing us?" A soldier asked worriedly as he watched the Hetao cavalry gallop away.
Dekang Baoqi shook his head: "No need. There is someone waiting for him in front. Let's go to Wuzhou. This is the only way from the Northwest Second Road to Youyun Sixteenth State. If they want to find Haotian, they must Will pass by here."
Li Xiao was congratulating himself on his good luck, and he managed to get rid of Dongbo's interception easily. However, before he had run fifty miles, a thunderous sound of horse hooves suddenly came from in front of him. Li Xiao was shocked. Just hearing this sound
, at least thousands of cavalry can have such power.
"Get ready to drill!" Li Xiao shouted loudly, and Ji Qing and others quickly grabbed their weapons. Even Xin Jiao and Fu Ruoshui lowered their bodies and grasped their weapons, ready to attack at any time.
"Are these the soldiers from Hetao?" A loud shout suddenly sounded from the front, and it actually sounded familiar.
"Li Xiao is here in the Hetao. Who is coming?" Li Xiao replied loudly.
"I am Jiao Zhongxin of the Shenzhou Martial League. I heard that there was trouble in the Hetao, and Jiao led a thousand brothers to come to help!" Jiao Zhongxin's angry voice echoed over the empty Shazhou.
Li Xiao was overjoyed when he heard this. Although Jiao Zhongxin was not directly affiliated with Hetao, nor was he an ally of Hetao, he was definitely a friend of Hetao. Confucianism disrupted the law with literature, and chivalry violated the law with martial arts. This has been the case since ancient times. In the Shenzhou Martial League,
Most of the people are Jianghu men who live a life of bloodshed. Since the concepts of Jianghu people are different from those of the court and ordinary people, most of them have a bad relationship with the court and local governments. However, it is difficult to break up a family in the country.
At the critical moment of their death, they did not flinch at all. Since the Battle of Hukou, the Shenzhou Martial League and countless heroes have been active at the forefront of the confrontation with the aliens. It is precisely because of this that the relationship between Hetao and them can be like this
of congeniality.
The two teams of men and horses were close in an instant, and they reined in the horses' heads. Li Xiao looked at the dusty Jiao Zhongxin in front of him, and said gratefully: "Master Jiao is so kind, Li Xiao is very grateful. I don't know how Master Jiao knew about our Hetao."
Are you in trouble?"
Jiao Zhongxin did not say any pleasantries: "It was also a fluke. Jiao was recuperating in the Yuzhou Road area. One day, the brothers below suddenly discovered that the Dongwa Navy was going upstream, and their behavior was quite suspicious. At that time, Jiao thought they were attacking Tiandu Shengjing.
The idea immediately gathered all the brothers near Tiandu Shengjing. However, a sudden coup occurred in Huai River. The Huai River soldiers, led by Zhang Huayang, walked together with the Dongbo. At that time, Jiao suspected that their target was the Hetao, so
Immediately go north. As a result, the entire Qinchuan area was under martial law, and the Eastern Japanese Navy blocked the river channel. Jiao had no choice but to cross the river at Yuzhou Road and prepare to cross the river at Hukou Ferry or Fengling Ferry."
After a pause, Jiao Zhongxin continued: "Don't go north, Zhang Huayang is leading 50,000 soldiers waiting for you on the road to Shazhou. Zhang Huayang has 20,000 cavalry under his command. If we hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, we might not have been able to escape.
Their encirclement and suppression.”
Li Xiao and others were shocked: "What, the Zhang family's coup in Huai River? Zhang Huayang actually blocked us?" Li Xiao and others didn't know about the Zhang family's coup, but now they suddenly heard that the Zhang family had actually joined the enemy.
In the alliance between the two sides, such a blow to Hetao is even worse than the loss of Dingzhou. After all, in the hearts of Hetao, the Huaishui Zhang family is Hetao's best friends. When Hetao is short of food, give the Zhang family a blow
After saying hello, there were immediately large ships carrying grain from the Huai River to the Hetao.
Hundreds of thousands of troops in the Hetao moved south, and the logistics base was not the Third Road in the Hetao, but Zhangjia on the Huai River in the southeast. Strategic supplies, siege equipment, and healing medicines all came from the Huai River. Even in terms of military command, as long as
If there is a need in Hetao, the Zhang family's army in Huaishui will be under the unified command of Hetao.
"King Weiyuan has such a good relationship with us, and Yue Wan is still in Hetao, how could Huaishui fall out with us?" Xin Jiao asked doubtfully. Hao Jin in her arms also looked at him with two bloodshot eyes.
Looking at Jiao Zhongxin. The little guy hasn't slept all day and night, but he has never cried. It's not like Hao'an in Fu Ruoshui's arms, he has cried twice along the way.
Suddenly, Xin Jiao found a familiar figure standing behind Jiao Zhongxin. He recognized it and quickly bowed and said: "It turns out to be Fourth Master Pu, the Snake Beggar. The little girl is polite."
Snake Beggar chuckled: "We haven't seen each other for many years, but the clan leader's style is still the same." The two had a friendship in the past, and they were naturally very happy to meet again after more than ten years.
Jiao Zhongxin ignored the conversation between the two and said bitterly: "Zhang Cangwu, the Minister of Rites, launched a coup and assassinated Zhang Cangxiong, the king of Weiyuan. Fortunately, the commander of the navy, General Zhang Cangzong, responded quickly and led the navy to escape in time. Now he is with your Jiaolong Legion.
Stop the Eastern Japanese navy at Huangyangtan. You must not go to Shazhou and Yumen Pass. The Zhang family has already come together with the Eastern Japanese navy, and they will never show mercy."
Li Xiao took a deep breath: "The direction of Shazhou cannot provide us with strong assistance. Now, everything can only rely on us. I don't know if the lord knows about the situation on our side. If we go west, the road is too far, and the northwest
The troops on the second route are weak and cannot guarantee the safety of the two princes, because our only way is to go east. To the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun to find the lord."
Jiao Zhongxin laughed: "Since the general has this intention, Jiao should accompany him. However, I'm afraid this road will not be smooth."
Li Xiao also smiled: "So, over the years, even if there is no road ahead, we can still find a way out of the thorns."
Li Xiao had great trust in Jiao Zhongxin and others. He pointed at Xin Jiao and told them his mission without any concealment.
"The King of Jingbei is the backbone of the country, and His Royal Highness the Princess is generous and kind. We have always respected the Prince and the Princess. Since they are the blood of the Prince, we must escort them out safely even if we risk our lives."
The man is Xiao Du, the deputy leader of the Shenzhou Martial League.
Jiao Zhongxin quickly introduced his main companions to Li Xiao and others one by one. The Shenzhou Martial Arts League is different from ordinary sects. In addition to some fixed gang members, many masters joined after the fall of Youyun Sixteen Provinces.
.For example, the deputy leader Xiao Du in front of me is the elder of the Demon Sect. The worshiping Pusi was the deputy leader of the Wulin Green League back then, the elder Miaowu Zhenren is the master of the current head of Wuwei Taoism, and the other elder king
Big Beard was a famous horse thief in Youyun Sixteen States in the past. These people originally belonged to different camps, but with the gradual fall of China, they finally united together.
Jiao Zhongxin said in a deep voice: "General Li, Your Highness the Princess, when we go to Youyun, we will inevitably face heavy interceptions from Huai River and Dongbo. You have been running for so long, so you should let us be the vanguard. Remember, as soon as you have
Get away when you get the chance, don't stay! Don't worry, we will risk the lives of a thousand brothers to protect you and leave."
When Li Xiao heard this, he looked up and looked at the determined face behind Jiao Zhongxin, and was suddenly moved.
"General, don't worry, all our brothers here are voluntary. In the past, we only knew how to rob homes and houses, and we have not made any contribution to China and the people. King Jingbei is a real hero in fighting against the aliens who invade our country. We can
It is also an honor for us to do something for the prince." Wang Bearded said with a smile.
Li Xiao was silent for a moment, then suddenly fell off his horse, kowtowed three times to the people in the Shenzhou Martial League in front of him, and said loudly: "Thank you for your great kindness, I, Li Xiao, and the 17 million people in Hetao have no regrets."
The teeth are unforgettable. After today, our Hetao soldiers will be rewarded generously!"
After saying that, Li Xiao got on his horse and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, set off!"
