Chapter 60 Companions
?The black shadows surged in the fields by the river. The army of the General Administration of Zhou Guoxinzhou who had just landed was marching quickly towards Jiangling City not far north under the leadership of several people. Their mission was to enter the city from the south gate of Jiangling to support the internal forces who launched a mutiny in the Liang Kingdom Palace.
The Anzhou rebels occupied Jiangling and controlled the ruler and ministers of Liang. This was untolerable for the Xinzhou General Administration, which was close to him. The Great Zhou court controlled Liang for more than 20 years and could not watch the Anzhou rebels swallow Liang.
For the Xinzhou General Administration, after a series of plans, we will see the truth today. The Anzhou rebels only care about guarding against the Xinzhou army on the west side on land. They decided that if they defend Jiangjin southeast of Jiangling, the Xinzhou army could not use ships to transport large numbers of people to land. However, they did not expect that they would only transport infantry to the south of Jiangling without taking Jiangjin.
"Hurry up, the city is already in chaos." A general urged in a low voice. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly looked up and looked around. Seeing this, someone else asked what was wrong. He frowned and looked at the reed marsh in the southeast.
The reed marsh was five or six hundred steps away from them. Under the moonlight, it was blurry and there was no abnormality. Several generals looked up for a moment but couldn't see anything, so they felt a little nervous.
A southeastern wind blew, and the breeze mixed with the smell of river water poured into everyone's noses. The general twitched his nose and smelled it and suddenly his face changed drastically: "It's the smell of a horse, there is a horse in the reed marsh!"
He was so familiar with the taste of horses. It was mixed with sweat, smell of smell and horse urine. There were many wild horses in this wilderness in the south of the Yangtze River. The only possibility was that someone was leading the horse in the reed marsh.
At this time, holding a horse in the reed marsh is definitely not drinking horses. The only possibility is cavalry. If there are cavalry guarding there, they are naturally waiting to attack their own side.
"There are cavalry, it's an ambush!"
As soon as the words were finished, everyone had not come back to their senses, but they saw the black shadows in the reed marsh shaking, and not long after, they heard the neighing sound of horses. Then the sound of horse hooves rushed towards them like a tide. Looking at the moonlight, it was indeed a group of cavalry!
"Hurry up, gather together to defend!" The general howled and pulled out his sword and waved it. The people around him were stunned by the group of cavalry that approached quickly: How could there be ambush here? How could there be cavalry here?
In order to take into account the formation of the north-south direction of the Xinzhou Army at night, the formation of the formation was north-south, and the sudden attacking cavalry was exposed. Now the moonlight was bright, the grayish white shining in the field was just enough to facilitate the cavalry's charge.
The time required to run five or six hundred steps was not long for the cavalry, but it was not enough for the infantry that had formed a hasty formation. Not everyone in their team of more than a thousand people found something abnormal on the southeast side at the beginning. When the generals shouted from beginning to end, they started to move.
The quick-responsive archer opened his bow and posed an arrow, but he shot a round of arrows and was lifted by the cavalry in front of him with a horse spear. Then the infantrymen who were rushing to fight were stormed and trampled by the roaring cavalry.
The originally orderly team was scattered in such a way. The enemy cavalry formed a horizontal formation and combed them like a comb. Before the soldiers who escaped the impact had arrived, they could not stabilize their position. Another wave of cavalry rushed over.
The two groups of cavalry were nearly four or five hundred cavalry, which was nearly half of the number of Xinzhou soldiers. I originally thought that they could touch Jiangling City without knowing it, and more than half of them were injured and killed after the first charge of the enemy cavalry.
Seeing that the cavalry turned their horses and were about to launch a second round of charge, the surviving Xinzhou soldiers gathered together to try to make the other party retreat, but most of them were swords, rattan cards and spears. Under the other party's charge again, they had a small array of hasty gathering with their passionate bodies was ruthlessly crushed.
Some people who were lucky enough to run to the riverside, but more than one mile distance became the last journey of their lives: two legs can never run four legs.
"More than a thousand infantrymen dare to come and attack Jiangling!" Shi Wansui rode on the horse and sneered. The mast of the warship, which seemed vague on the river bank in the distance, was becoming more and more blurred. The other party found that something was wrong and had already fled north from the shore in a hurry.
"Master, kill all the others except a few living people." A cavalry came forward to report, and Shi Wansui nodded and ordered the cavalry to dismount and take away the armor on the enemy's corpse together with their weapons.
"The Master Shi Zhuang is indeed accurate. Someone really has a bad intention to get on the shore of this river." Another cavalry rode his horse back to Liu Boer, the deputy of Yuwen Shiwu. Yuwen Shiwu was driven back to Anlu by the commander Yuwen Wen to deliver a letter, so Liu Boer led the cavalry in this building temporarily.
When Yuwen Wen led his troops into the city, he arranged for Shi Wansui's cavalry to patrol the southeast of Jiangling to prevent the enemy from coming from Jiangjin Shu. Shi Wansui thought for a while and felt that if something happened in the city, if the other party had an external response, it would be very likely that the external response would be from the riverside in the southern suburbs of Jiangling.
After discussing with the military leader Chen Wudi and others, everyone agreed with this idea. Chen Wudi directly handed over most of Liu Boer's cavalry to Shi Wansui to conduct unified command of Jiangling to inspect the southern suburbs of Jiangling. As a result, he really met the enemy who landed on the shore.
"President Liu Zhuang, please lead your cavalry to patrol the south of the city to avoid any thieves who are ignorant of life or death." After Shi Wansui said that, he looked at the south gate of Jiangling City. When Liu Boer saw that there seemed to be a torch on the other side, he asked how to solve the problem of those who were robbed.
If there are soldiers outside the city stealing the city, there must be someone who can open the door at the city gate, otherwise they will be defeated and escaped once they are discovered by climbing the wall. In the current situation, it seems that the guard of the South Gate is probably in a relationship with this group of people.
"It's okay, wait until the army stabilizes the situation, and no one of the mice can escape!" After Shi Wansui said that, he rode his horse and whipped his cavalry and galloped eastward. The eastern suburbs of the city and Jiangjinshu were also places where they needed to be careful.
......
In the palace and in the bamboo forest hall, King Anping Xiaoyan covered his bloody chest and looked painful. Emperor Liang Xiao Kui hugged him anxiously and kept talking: "The seven officials hold on for a while, and the imperial doctor will arrive!"
"Official... my family, I just want to... I'm happy... Liang... cough cough." Xiao Yan's face was pale and his words were intermittent. Xiao Kui's eyes were red and he told him not to speak and keep his strength.
Just now, when Yuwen Wen led the people in, the two men started a fierce battle. With Yang Ji, Lai Hu'er, the two fierce gods who could fight, the scene quickly reversed. At this moment, several good players brought by Xiao Yan actually rushed towards Xiao Kui to take him hostage and flee. In desperation, Xiao Yan stopped him from being stabbed in the chest by the opponent's dagger, but he also bought time for Xiao Kui's guards to react and protect him.
"My... I have not... Urgent the throne... I am also wary of... Liu... How can I... How can I..." Xiao Yan died before he finished speaking, and his dream of reviving Daliang disappeared.
Xiao Kuiyan watched the fifth brother die in front of him and sadness come from his heart. He understood the other party's feelings. When he ascended the throne at the age of 20, he was full of passion and wanted to work hard to revive the revival, but the ruthless fact shattered the unrealistic fantasy. Now this impulsive younger brother died because of this, he could only be sad.
Yuwen Wen stood by the door with expressionless face and watched the tragedy of the brother in front of him. He thought that his brother Yu Wenming was almost out of control when he was killed and wanted to "draw his sword and kill him so hard that he could flow into a river of blood." Fortunately, the Zuomin Langzhong said that Yu Wenming had withdrawn from the palace and he calmed down.
"June, the official family is indeed in the dark this time. Please calm down." Cai Yunxiang smiled in front of Yuwen Wen. It was him, the left-minister of Liang Kingdom, who explained the situation on the spot to resolve the misunderstanding.
"Dr. Cai, my brother went to the palace to attend a banquet but encountered this great disaster. Although he escaped from the palace, his life and death are unknown." Yuwen Wen said while fiddling with his bright sword, "If my brother has a few long and two shorts, I will blame me for being too tough!"
My brother escaped, but I don’t know if he will be ambushed when he escapes, and I don’t know if he can escape smoothly after being ambushed. Yuwen Wen was anxious, but he could only stay here to watch Emperor Liang Xiao Kui to avoid further setbacks.
Cai Yunxiang knew that the safety of the young man now was dependent on this young man. The fierce soldiers brought by the other party had already suppressed the rebellious imperial guards, and the little soldiers he had on hand might not be their opponent. He had to say that Yuwen envoy Jun Ji Ren Tianxiang would definitely be fine.
Yuwen Wen was not interested in this pale comforting word. Tian Xiaoqi outside came to Hu'er to lead people to guard the Zhulin Hall and monitor the imperial guards. Yang Ji brought a few people and Zheng Tong, the "leading party" to pursue the mastermind behind the escape - the Minister of the Honglu Temple. Although he really wanted to bring the mastermind to justice, the most important thing at the moment was to defend Emperor Liang and the imperial city.
"June, King Anping was also impulsive and was persuaded and went astray. Now he died in order to protect himself. Please keep King Anping's body a few words in the future." Cai Yunxiang changed the topic again. He knew that although Yu Wen Wen had a small position, he was the younger brother of the commander of the Anzhou Army, Yu Wenming. If Yu Wenming had not died, he could finally make King Anping leave a body without the humiliation of beheading the public.
Although this was what Emperor Liang thought, he, a minister of Liang, could only say this. Of course, if Yu Wenming was killed, everything would be spared. The fate of the royal family of Liang was just a matter of thought.
Yuwen Wen ignored this topic and had no definite news yet, so he was not in the mood to understand the other party's brotherhood. In the silence, footsteps rang out and then Yang Ji and others came to the hall.
"The army commander, the group of people have been able to help, and now they have escaped from the palace."
Yuwen Wen was a little regretful about escaping from the mastermind behind the scenes, but now the first priority is to control the palace. "Who is controlling that palace gate now?"
Yang Ji said that he had arranged for people to guard against any suspicious people coming in and out. The mastermind behind the scenes might not be able to escape from the palace. After the army controlled the situation, the whole city would be able to catch all three feet of digging.
A close servant came to report that a large number of troops from the Anzhou army had already opened the palace gate to greet him. The people were now coming to the palace with a fierce momentum. Xiao Kui looked at Yuwen Wen nervously, and Cai Yunxiang was also sweating profusely, smiling and wanting to ask him to come forward to ease.
"Well, if the elder brother is safe and sound, it's easy to say. If the elder brother... you will all be buried with you!"
Before leaving the door, Yuwen Wen glanced back at the dead-breaking King Xiao Yan and then led the people away. He probably guessed that Xiao Yan was going to fight against the current and revival. From this perspective, he was a fellow traveler with him, but the other party failed.
