Prince of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 540: Escape to life

Views:

Yang Lin, who was already enlightened, just smiled faintly when he heard what Zhao Yun said. At this moment, he had no ability to fight back at all. But if you lose, you lose. Who is Yang Lin? How can you be a child because of life and death? Immediately, Yang Lin slowly closed his eyes and said silently: "My lord. Please forgive me that I will not be able to continue to serve you." After speaking, Yang Lin raised his head and showed his throat, waiting for death to approach.

"General Yang Lin." At this moment, a violent shout came from a distance, along with some screams and screams. Hearing this voice, everyone turned their heads subconsciously and saw that not far away, Yiqi was swiftly slaying towards this side. None of the Qingqi standing in front of this rider could stop them, and they were all repelled by this person. Yang Lin also opened his eyes and looked at the man. Under the moonlight, Yang Lin also saw clearly what this man looked like. It was the general Wang Kang who had not been encountered before.

Unlike the other soldiers of Xia Jun, the energetic Wang Kang didn't get exhausted due to the days of rushing, and he didn't even feel sleepy, so he simply rode his horse to a clearing outside the camp to practice his gun. It was precisely because of this that Wang Kang escaped a disaster and was not caught off guard like the others in Xia Jun. Seeing something went wrong in the camp in the distance, Wang Kang rushed over immediately, but halfway through the road he met Zhang Sailiang, the counselor who had escaped.

Only when Wang Kang put Zhang Sailiang in a proper place, he turned around and rushed to fight in the camp. It was just this delay that the Xia Jun generals in the camp had been killed and fleeing, and only Yang Lin was still fighting. Seeing this, Wang Kang immediately rode his horse into the camp and rushed towards Yang Lin.

"Stupid." Seeing Wang Kang actually rushed into the camp, Yang Lin couldn't help but cursed inwardly, but he didn't sit and wait for death anymore. He clenched his teeth on the back of the horse, clamped his legs, but he slid towards him. Wang Kang rushed in that direction.

Everyone thought that Yang Lin had already been slaughtered and would no longer resist, so they relaxed their vigilance. Unexpectedly, Yang Lin would suddenly run away. This relaxation, coupled with Wang Kang beheading an exit, caused Yang Lin to rush out of the encirclement.

When Zhao Yun saw it, he hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing in a daze. Why don't you chase after it!" Zhao Yun was about to chase after him, but before he could pull the rein, there was a heartbreak from his injured shoulder. The pain of splitting his lungs made Zhao Yun's eyes black, and he almost didn't get down.

Yang Lin just leaned on his horse, closed his eyes and charged hard, and actually let him rush to Wang Kang's side. Wang Kang brandished the dragon's golden spear, and directly stab several Qingqi soldiers who were chasing Yang Lin under the horse. At the same time, he grabbed the reins of Yang Lin's mount and helped Yang Lin stop the mount. Yang Lin shouted, "General Yang Lin, are you okay?"

"Idiot." After being saved by Wang Kang, Yang Lin raised his head and cursed. The cursing made Wang Kang confused. Yang Lin lay on his horse weakly and cursed when he looked at Wang Kang. Escaped. Why do you want to come back? Are you looking for death? Hurry up! Leave me alone. Hurry up." Yang Lin knows that Zhao Yun has been seriously injured by himself now. If he is not dragged down by himself, Wang Kang's martial arts , It’s not difficult to break through the siege.

Now Wang Kang finally understood what Yang Lin meant, but he smiled and said to Yang Lin: "General Yang Lin. Although Wang Kang is a bit stupid, I left my comrades behind and fled. This kind of thing , I do it once is enough.” As he said, a haze flashed in Wang Kang's eyes, obviously thinking of the battle outside the southern walled city of Jiangling.

However, Wang Kang also understood that the current situation was critical. It was not a sad time. He shook his head vigorously, focused his attention on the enemies surrounding him, and took Yang Lin’s mount with one hand, and shouted to Yang Lin: "General Yang Lin, rest assured. Right. We must be able to rush out. I still want Zhao Yan to get revenge. How can I easily die here?"

After speaking, Wang Kang pulled on the reins of Yang Lin's mount, and at the same time, his legs were sandwiched between his mounts, and he turned abruptly. The two horses turned at the same time. Then, Wang Kang yelled, but he was carrying it. Yang Lin and the two rushed out towards the camp.

Wang Kang grew up in a barracks, and his riding skills were trained in a small suit. Although these light-riding officers are also good at riding, they are far behind Wang Kang. Under Wang Kang's control, he was protecting Yang Lin in this way, and he was about to escape from the camp in a blink of an eye.

"Want to run? It's not that easy." A loud shout rang out, and a ride suddenly appeared in front of Wang Kang. It was Wang Hu. The hook in Wang Hu's hand pointed at Wang Kang and he shouted: "Wang Kang. I haven't seen you for so many years. I saw an old friend today. Why don't you stay and chat."

"Wang Hu." When Wang Kang saw Wang Hu, his eyes immediately turned red. Outside of the South Walled City of Jiangling, Wang Kang was defeated by Wang Hu and had to flee in the end. For Wang Kang, this can be regarded as the biggest shame in his life. Over the years, what Wang Kang wanted to do first was to kill Zhao Yan and avenge his blood and blood, and what he wanted to do second was to fight with Wang Hu.

Seeing Wang Hu now, Wang Kang couldn't wait to shoot him immediately and fight Wang Hu for three hundred rounds. But when Wang Kang was about to go up and down, he thought of Yang Lin beside him. He could tell that Yang Lin's injury was definitely not minor. If Wang Kang ran to fight Wang Hu alone, Yang Lin would be left alone, and he would definitely be arrested by the enemy.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and looked up at the provocative Wang Hu in front of him. Wang Kang snorted, but he pulled the rein with one hand. He actually bypassed Wang Hu and continued to rush outside the camp.

Wang Hu, who understands Wang Kang’s temperament, did not expect Wang Kang to be able to hold back his breath. Obviously he did not have this preparation. After Wang Kang had already run far away, Wang Hu reacted and immediately. Zongma chased up. It's just that Wang Kang's horse and riding skills are so good, he even pulled Yang Lin from his mount altogether, and the two rode together, but instead they threw away the chasing soldiers behind him.

Seeing Wang Kang's back further and further away, Wang Hu had no choice but to stop the pursuit and returned to the camp with the chasing soldiers. At this moment, the battle in the camp is completely over, and the soldiers are clearing the battlefield. After Wang Hu entered the camp, he immediately dismounted and threw the mount to the soldiers next to him. He walked straight towards the largest tent in the camp.

This big tent was originally used by Yang Lin to discuss military affairs, but now it has become a gathering place for Qingqi generals. Wang Hu strode into the big tent in a stride, and when he looked up, he saw that at the top of the big tent, Zhao Yun was sitting with his upper body naked, and two military doctors were bandaging his wounds by his side. Seeing Wang Hu coming in, although Zhao Yun's face was a bit pale, he still said with a smile on his face: "Wang Hu, depending on your appearance, I'm afraid I didn't catch him."

Wang Hu originally wanted to care about Zhao Yun’s injury, but when he heard Zhao Yun’s ridicule, Wang Hu knew that Zhao Yun’s injury was not a major problem. Even though he rolled his eyes, he directly found a place to sit down and said, "This Wang Kang is more mature than before, er, it should be said that his face is much thicker, and he is not subject to my provocation."

"Yeah." Zhao Yun seemed to have guessed that the result was mediocre, and nodded and said: "After so many things, if he still wants to be like before, I am afraid it is not worth dealing with."

On the side, Zhang Long punched his fist unwillingly and said, "It's a pity. Let alone catch Wang Kang. If you can catch Yang Lin, that would be great! This is a great achievement. Pieces. Gee. It's a pity to let them run like this." Zhang Long shook his head as he said.

Zhao Yun listened and smiled, and said, "Okay. You are content. Yang Lin brought more than 50,000 people this time, but the whole army was wiped out by us. However, our soldiers and horses have not suffered any loss. Thousands of people. This kind of record is a big victory wherever it is placed. Your honor is indispensable if you look back.

When it comes to awards, everyone is of course happy. This is not just a question of money, but an honor. Seeing the generals' happy appearance, Zhao Yun waved his hands and said, "Okay. Don't be too happy. According to the adults' previous inferences, this time we defeated Xia Jun, this time we defeated Xia Jun, there are advantages and disadvantages. Xia Junyi The defeat will inevitably affect the coalition forces preparing to attack Xianning, so our goal of attacking Fuzhou this time has been achieved. However, the Xia Army suffered a defeat. To deal with us, the Rebels of the Zhulu will definitely send cavalry to fight against us. Be careful."

"Huh." Zhang Long sitting on the side said: "Is their cavalry? I have long wanted to fight their cavalry. General. Then let me lead a man and horse to meet the enemy for a while. Cavalry."

"Don't underestimate the enemy." The big victory just now obviously made Qingqi's generals a little forgetful. Zhao Yun immediately shouted with a serious face: "Then Peng You relied on the cavalry to lay down Yuezhou, Yiyang and Chenzhou. Later, even if he avoided it. We retreated to Jizhou and waited on Jiangnanxi Road, and we also defeated the local officers and army. This shows that their cavalry is definitely not easy. The same is Qingqi. The tactical effect we used to deal with the Xia army will be greatly reduced. You must not underestimate the enemy. , The next is the critical moment of the battle."

"Yes." Seeing Zhao Yun's expression on his face, the generals also put away the previous nonchalant appearance, and bowed to Zhao Yun in unison.

Zhao Yun nodded. At this time, the two military doctors had also bandaged Zhao Yun. They stepped back a few steps, bowed their hands to Zhao Yun, and said: "General Zhao, the wound is not a major problem. Some time will be enough." For Zhao Yun, this injury is equivalent to a skin and flesh injury, not very serious.

After sending the military doctor down, Zhao Yun turned his head and said to the generals: "According to the tactics laid down by the adults, what we should do next is to continue to harass the enemy's small county towns. Until the enemy cavalry arrives, We immediately retreated. This light cavalry is a soldier and horse built with a lot of hard work, and we can't let it wear out too much here."

"General Zhao." At this time, Zhang Long suddenly asked: "Since Yang Lin's army has been defeated by us, why don't we pursue the victory and directly take the Jianchang army? In this way, maybe we can still occupy Fuzhou. , Which greatly reduced Xia Cheng's strength."

Zhang Long's question is equivalent to asking the point, and the other generals also turned their heads and looked at Zhao Yun, seemingly waiting for Zhao Yun's answer. However, Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "No. Although Yang Lin's army was wiped out by us. But there are still many enemies in the Jianchang Army. Moreover, Fang Yunshan, the defender of the Jianchang Army, is an extremely stable defender. He defended the Jianchang Army, even if we attacked by force, we would inevitably lose a lot of troops and horses. The gains outweigh the losses."

Having said that, Zhao Yun paused and continued: "And the most important thing is that attacking the Jianchang Army does not conform to the tactics set by the adults. Our purpose in the military is to harass the enemy. So we We must not take the initiative to attack a big city like Jianchang Army. That will only expose our whereabouts and prevent us from performing the task of Lord Wancheng more effectively.

The night raid in Fuzhou took place hurriedly and ended hurriedly. After Yang Lin, Wang Kang and others fled back to the Jianchang Army, Fang Yunshan, the Wei general who stayed behind in the Jianchang Army, knew about it. After learning of this, Fang Yunshan was shocked. Yang Lin and the others took away a whole 50,000 horses. How could a general such as Yang Lin and Wang Kang and a wise man such as Zhang Sailiang end in annihilation

However, Fang Yunshan did not dare to delay, and immediately sent people to pass the news to the Xingguo Army. At the same time, he took strict precautions and left the enemy to attack while the Jianchang Army was empty.

However, Fang Yunshan’s worries seemed to be in vain. Qingqi, who had just won a big battle, did not seem to have the intention of attacking the Jianchang Army. Instead, he continued to wander around the various areas of the official army. But it is a good cause of trouble in Fuzhou. The only Jianchang Army and Shaowu Army with a bit of strength did not dare to send troops. Yang Lin's 50,000 army was lost. Didn’t they go there to deliver food to others

When the news reached the Xingguo Army, Xia Cheng and others were completely dumbfounded. No one had thought that Yang Lin's fifty thousand elite soldiers would have been beaten in this way.

In the chamber of the Xingguo Army’s Jiedushi Mansion, the atmosphere was extremely dull. Xia Cheng and other rebels were gloomy and silent. Obviously, the tight war between the officers and the army made them feel a little unhappy, and even felt unhappy about the future. There is an ominous feeling about the upcoming war.

Zhang Huaxuan, who was sitting next to Xia Cheng, took a deep breath and looked up at Tong Wenbo. Tong Wenbo's face did not have the usual indifferent smile. He frowned, but the corner of his eyes glanced inadvertently. To the other side. The direction Tong Wenbo looked at was Peng You sitting next to Gao'an, but the person Tong Wenbo wanted to look at was not Peng You, but Hu Zhuge behind Peng You.

At this moment, everyone in the chamber was frowning, but only this Hu Zhuge, who had been keeping his eyes closed, seemed to have not heard the sentiment of the officers and soldiers just mentioned by the messenger. Seeing Hu Zhuge's appearance, Tong Wenbo's brows deepened, and he was also thinking about something in his heart.

After a long time, someone finally broke the silence, but it was Xia Cheng as the leader. Xia Cheng sighed and said: "I didn't expect Yang Lin would be defeated by the opponent. It seems that the situation between officers and soldiers is not good. Zhang Huaxuan, in your opinion, how should the danger of officers and soldiers be resolved?" Xia Cheng still Turning his head to Zhang Huaxuan next to him, Xia Cheng still trusts his own think tank.

At this moment Zhang Huaxuan was also suffering from headaches. Zhang Huaxuan's previous guesses were fulfilled one by one, but what he didn't expect was that even Xia Cheng's first general, Yang Lin, would be defeated so badly. What magic power does this Zhao Jun have? Can there be such a result

Although Zhang Huaxuan couldn’t understand it, after all, Xia Cheng asked him on his head. Zhang Huaxuan couldn’t help but answer. He took a deep breath and said, "My lord. Although the war in Fuzhou is tight, but in the opinion of his subordinates, it doesn’t take too much. I was too worried. Zhao Jun’s main force is now gathering in Xianning, but in Fuzhou it is a team of soldiers and horses dispatched by the believer Zhao Zhen."

"Furthermore, the military information sent by General Fang Yunshan also made it very clear that the Zhao Jun in Fuzhou was led by Zhao Yun. This kind of soldiers might be fine if they attack some small county towns, but if they attack those big cities and towns. , It’s impossible. So now General Fang Yunshan’s strategy is correct. If the city is closed, Zhao Jun can’t do anything with them, no matter how good they are."

"But it can't always go on like this." Although Fuzhou is Xia Cheng's territory, if Fuzhou has a loss, it will be very bad for the coalition forces. Without the support of the coalition forces, Liu Guang did not have the strength to deal with Zhao Jun’s invasion. Liu Guang also said with a worried expression: "In a short time, the big towns in Fuzhou may be able to support it, but after a long time, the food and grass in the city If it is not available, it will be broken sooner or later."

Liu Guang is the key point in his words. Both Xia Cheng and Zhang Huaxuan have bitter faces. Zhang Huaxuan shook his head and said, "You have also seen the military intelligence sent by General Fang Yunshan just now. Qingqi's tactics It is very clear that Qingqi’s mobility was used to drag down the soldiers and horses we sent to Fuzhou, and wait until a certain time to make a surprise attack. Strictly speaking, General Yang Lin and the others did not make any strategic mistakes in this battle, but..."

Having said this, Zhang Huaxuan did not go on, the meaning couldn't be more obvious. Yang Lin's strategy didn't make any mistakes, and there was only one reason for the defeat. Zhao Jun's combat effectiveness and strategy were stronger than the Xia Jun commanded by Yang Lin. It's just that when you say this, it's a bit of a blow to the morale of the coalition forces.

After Zhang Huaxuan finished saying this, the few current heroes in the room couldn't help but stagnate. Although they were unwilling, they couldn't refute them. Since the beginning of the Shimen Uprising a year ago, Zhao Yan has fought many fierce battles without fail. It can be said that Zhao Yan is a veritable general who is always victorious. Fighting against such an enemy made everyone feel a little drummed in their hearts.

"Hahahaha!" At this moment, a laugh suddenly sounded, and everyone turned their heads along the laughter, but it was Hu Zhuge who hadn't spoken before. And seeing Hu Zhuge smile like this, the three wise men Tong Wenbo, Zhang Huaxuan and Zhao Guang also had their hearts beating at the same time and looked at each other.

"Mr. Hu. What are you laughing at?" Seeing Xia Cheng and others looking at him weirdly, Peng You was uncomfortable all over, turned his head and glared at Hu Zhuge, and asked.

After being drunk by Peng You, Hu Zhuge also slowly stopped his laughter, straightened his upper body, bowed to everyone, and laughed: "Please forgive me for being impolite. I just thought of something in the next. It was very funny, but I couldn’t help but laugh out loud, and please forgive me.” As he said, he bowed himself down, but everyone in the room was the hero at the time, so how could he not hear what he said? Meaning, of course, I wouldn't be so idiotic to think that Hu Zhuge really couldn't help laughing.
