Chapter 1075 1076 [The right path in the world is the vicissitudes of life] (13)

Southwest of Kyoto, there is a straight road that is not wide and north of the northern foothills of the Hengduan Mountains.

The sun was tilted, and it was almost three o'clock in the morning.

A team of more than a thousand riders appeared on the straight road. Most of them had blood-stained shirts, and their faces were obviously tired, but their eyes still showed unruliness and coldness.

As the main force of the rebels fled south, these people entered the outskirts of the Hengduan Mountains in batches. After the Longbow Army passed by, they gathered according to the original plan, then obtained war horses and supplies from the forests of the northern foothills, and then turned to the west.

Straight.

In the center of the team, Wang Pingzhang and Liu Zhi, who had changed their clothes, were walking side by side.

Wang Pingzhang said unhurriedly: "When we enter Qizhou, we will change our outfits and enter Yuzhou in batches. As long as we enter the Shiwan Mountain, the imperial court will send tens of thousands of pursuers to no avail. Your Highness can rest assured."

At this moment, his mood was extremely complicated. It seemed as if he had gone back to more than ten years ago. He led his elite troops to preemptively attack the Chen family mansion at night and burned thousands of people to death, completely cutting off the possibility of the late emperor's counterattack. At that time, there were still remnants of the Chen family.

After surviving, he personally directed the pursuit, but the opponent finally escaped into the Shiwan Mountains of Yuzhou after paying a heavy price.

It was precisely because of that past event that he still remembered the complex terrain in Yuzhou, so he had already thought of this retreat before the incident.

Today's chance of survival turned out to be saved by his enemy, which made him sigh at the strangeness of fate.

Liu Zhi didn't seem to hear his relief, and murmured with a gloomy face: "Wei Guogong, why did we lose?"

Wang Pingzhang's eyes narrowed slightly and he laughed at himself: "It's the old minister who made a mistake in his calculations and did not consider the war situation more comprehensively. If I had been personally in charge of the southern camp at that time, Pei Yue might not have been able to get in front of Luo Huanzhang. If I had counted the veterans in the capital,

, it will not suddenly collapse to this point. If I had placed more internal agents in the Forbidden Army, perhaps the palace would have changed hands long ago. If Your Highness blames you, I dare not not accept it."

Liu Zhi seemed to have a normal expression, but he was horrified in his heart.

He is now alone, surrounded by Wang Pingzhang's loyal guards, and these thousand cavalry are the only elite soldiers left in the Tiger and Leopard Battalion.

In other words, if Wang Pingzhang did not want to keep the prince for his future, Wang Pingzhang could decide his life or death with just one word.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhi forced a smile and said: "The words of Duke Wei are serious. I just feel it in my heart. It's a pity."

Wang Pingzhang hid his fierce intention well and said gently: "Your Highness, I have thought carefully about it, and the reason why we were defeated was precisely because we thought too much. Your Majesty is the Emperor of Liang, and he has control over two capitals and thirteen states.

No matter how carefully we think about playing chess with him on this chessboard, we will never be able to match His Majesty's calmness and generosity."

Liu Zhi said thoughtfully: "What Duke Wei means is that we should..."

Wang Pingzhang said a little lonely: "We thought wrong from the beginning. In fact, we don't need to think about the overall situation. We just need to remember one thing: to capture the thief first, capture the king."

Liu Zhi suddenly said: "Assassin driver?"

Wang Pingzhang nodded and said: "Instead of spending so much effort, it is better to put all your efforts into this matter. I and Your Highness worked so hard, but in the end it was still not as good as the gunpowder ignited by the Chen family woman in the palace. It can be seen from this that I,

You are indeed getting old, and I will have to rely on His Highness more in the future."

Liu Zhi thought a little and said warmly: "The Duke of Wei is too modest. After entering Yuzhou, shall we continue to the west?"

Wang Pingzhang said: "That's right. I have gradually revealed my relationship with Xiong Wuhou Lan Yu in recent years, hoping to attract His Majesty's attention. Although I am not as talented and strategist as Your Majesty, I also understand the principle of considering defeat first and then victory, so I came early

Then we discussed it with Liu Dingyuan, the commander of the Dingxi camp. The Dingxi camp is located in the southwest of Lingzhou. It has strong soldiers and horses, and is strong enough to protect the safety of His Highness. It is better to occupy that place and develop slowly than to be an idle prince in the capital."

"Lingzhou..." Liu Zhi started to speak but stopped.

Wang Pingzhang turned to look at him and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry. As long as Xiwu is still there, the Western army will not be able to attack the Dingxi camp. As for the arms and food, the veteran has already made arrangements. By then, the Dingxi army will only occupy the southwest of Lingzhou.

It will be completely self-sufficient within a few years.”

Liu Zhi couldn't help but feel hope rising in his heart, and his face finally relaxed. However, at this moment, two arrows suddenly sounded from behind, and then a ranger came flying towards him, shouting: "Master Guo, there is someone here.

A cavalry force of about a thousand people is chasing after them quickly, it may be the Beiwei camp led by Pei Yue!"

Everyone was shocked, and a cold murderous look instantly appeared on Liu Zhi's face.

At this time, a middle-aged man stepped forward and said: "Please, father and His Highness Sixth Prince, please go ahead. I would like to lead the Hubao Camp to block the rear!"

This person was Wang Pingzhang's second son Wang Zhongsi, who once had a head-on confrontation with Pei Yue in a bamboo house in Kyoto.

Wang Pingzhang did not hesitate, nodded and said: "Okay."

Before Wang Zhongsi left, he said again: "Be careful."

After all, he showed a bit of intolerance.

Wang Zhongsi nodded heavily, turned his horse's head and led the Haw Par Battalion to face the rear and start to speed up.

…

The straight road is not very wide, and can accommodate about eight riders galloping abreast.

The mountain breeze blew and rustled the green branches and leaves beside the road.

Pei Yue, holding a long spear, led the way, flanked by Deng Zai and Qian Bing.

The sound of horse hooves is as fast as thunder, echoing continuously in the mountains and fields, like a yellow bell that shakes everyone's heartstrings.

In the process of advancing, the steps of the mounts of the soldiers from the Wei camp gradually became more consistent. As the hoof prints on the road ahead became clearer and clearer, the soldiers' expressions became more calm and solemn, holding the weapons in their hands firmly.

Hold on tight and keep breathing evenly.

It was like a gust of wind passing by on the straight road.

When Pei Yue's eyes saw the oncoming Hubao Battalion soldiers, he not only did not order to slow down, but instead slapped the horse's buttocks, and the mount immediately accelerated again, shooting out like an arrow from the string.

On one side is the Hubao Battalion, which followed Wang Pingzhang and fought in various parts of the world. It had a transcendent status in the capital camp. Although after Wang Pingzhang left Xiying, the Hubao Battalion gradually became low-key and invisible. However, it can be seen from this Kyoto rebellion that it has repeatedly served as a vanguard.

The strength of the vanguard's Tiger and Leopard Battalion has not weakened much, and after being tempered by the battle, the remaining 1,000 people have become even more fierce and fierce.

On one side is the now famous Beiwei Camp. In just a few years, it has experienced all the wars in the Daliang border area, and has never been afraid of fighting. It has made great contributions to Pei Yue's rise in the army.

This time, neither side fired arrows as they advanced forward, and only the other's figure was visible in each other's eyes.

The trees and grass on both sides retreated rapidly, and the two most powerful armies in the world approached at great speed.

In an almost suffocating moment, Beiwei Camp and Hubao Camp met on a narrow road and collided with each other!

There are no tricks or tricks at all, and countless blood is sprayed.

Pei Yue swung his gun forward, using force from his waist and abdomen to reach his arms, instantly sweeping away five or six spears in front of him, and then clamped his legs fiercely on the horse's belly. The horse that had been following him for several years seemed to be humane, and suddenly raised its arms.

The hoof stepped on the opponent's horse's head. Wang Zhongsi quickly pulled the reins and stabbed Pei Yue's lower abdomen with the spear in his hand.

There is no slight difference between the exchanges.

The front hoof of Pei Yue's mount hit the opponent's horse's belly. He heard the horse neighing and its steps erratic, causing Wang Zhongsi's body to sway unsteadily. Pei Yue stretched out his left arm to separate the opponent's lance, which had lost its strength, and clashed with it.

At the same time, he held the gun with one hand and used all his strength to smash it down suddenly!

The tip of the fine iron spear fell on Wang Zhongsi's head, and there was a crisp bang. The man immediately bleeded from all his orifices and fell straight back.

Pei Yue didn't even look at the other party's body and said sternly: "Move forward!"

"forward!"

"forward!"

"forward!"

Deng Zai and Qian Bing responded immediately, and gradually spread to all the soldiers in Beiwei camp, condensing into a force that could shake the mountains.

The Haw Par Battalion did not collapse immediately after losing its leader, but any small factor on the battlefield would affect the final outcome. They have been fighting hard from midnight to now, and their physical strength has long been exhausted. They are only supported by their strong will.

, however, the soldiers at Beiwei camp had rested for a long time in advance.

From strong resistance to retreat step by step, to increasing casualties, the demise of the Haw Par Battalion gradually became an irreversible fact.

About a quarter of an hour later, Pei Yue led the Beiwei Battalion to fight their way out, and there was no longer any obstacle ahead.
