Chapter 5 The Line of Life and Death
"Young Master, it's not that I told you that you really shouldn't have gone to him. He is a Yellow Turban Thief, so how could he talk about his credibility? Now, we are both arrested and our lives are hard to save."
Liu Jing and Wu Xiu were both bound by hands and feet, and they were tied side by side on a horse. Wu Xiu's heart was filled with resentment and chattering endlessly.
However, Liu Jing bit his lips and said nothing, and glanced at the man who escorted them from time to time. The skin containing the copper seal and other evidence was on the back of the man.
The great man was illiterate and did not know Liu Jing's true identity, but he was very interested in the short sword and was holding it in his hand and slashing it. Judging from his expression, he had decided to take it for himself.
"Young Master, what can we do now and can't go back to Jingzhou, we may die at the hands of Cao's army." Wu Xiu became sadder the more he thought about it, and even cried out.
Liu Jing turned around and glared at him fiercely. Wu Xiu was so scared that he didn't dare to cry anymore. He was also surprised in his heart, why did the young master say nothing?
At noon, a war horse ran from afar, and the cavalry shouted, "The general has an order, rest for a moment."
The soldiers sat down to rest, escorted the big man to carry Liu Jing and the other two off the horse, threw it aside, and said viciously: "Give you some rest and continue to get on the horse later."
The big man sat on the other side and went to play with his new dagger. When Liu Jing saw that no one on both sides paid attention to him, he spit out a sword tip from his mouth. Wu Xiu's eyes widened. It turned out that this was the reason why he kept silent.
"Quickly cut the rope for me, and Cao's army will come immediately." Liu Jing knew in his heart that he had only walked for more than twenty miles and stopped, and he must have discovered something.
"Where is me?"
"Don't talk nonsense, cut it off for me."
Liu Jing cursed softly, and the two of them were back to back. Wu Xiu picked up the tip of the sword with both hands and cut the rope for Liu Jing with a sharp blade.
The rope was cut off. At this moment, a riot suddenly came from the front, and some soldiers shouted wildly: "Cao Army is here to kill."
I saw Cao's army coming from all directions, completely blocking all the retreat routes of Liu Pi's army. Without the advantage of terrain, the Yellow Turban soldiers were in chaos. Liu Pi regretted it and had to yell: "Don't be afraid, follow my command, and fight to the death."
The army was in chaos and the situation was extremely critical. Liu Jing turned over and hid behind Wu Xiu, snatched the tip of the sword from him. At this time, the big man escorted them quickly walked up, grabbed Wu Xiu and put him in the horse.
This only chance was caught by Liu Jing. He quickly cut off the rope on his feet, pounced on him, grabbed the man's hair and rushed towards the saddle. At this time, it was not a bridge-shaped saddle, but a cylindrical saddle with iron rings on both sides.
With a dull bang, the big man's head hit the iron circle hard, blood gushed out of his forehead. The big man screamed and covered his forehead with both hands. Taking this opportunity, Liu Jing grabbed the short sword from his hand and stabbed into his back with a sword.
The big man fell softly to the ground, and Liu Jing quickly cut off the ropes on Wu Xiu's hands and feet, then snatched the skin from the big man's back and carried it on his back.
At this time, Cao's army had already entered the Yellow Turban Army from all directions. The morale of the Yellow Turban Army collapsed and ran around, and was slaughtered like cattle and sheep, screaming throughout the wilderness.
"Young Master, what should we do?" Wu Xiu's voice trembled in fear.
"You idiot, get on the horse and run."
Liu Jing can't ride a horse, but Wu Xiu can ride it and can take him out. Although this is an old horse, as long as it is a crazy person, it may be able to escape.
At this time, the war horse did not have stirrups, but there was already a single-sided stirrup for horse-mounting, and its feet were wrapped in rope sleeves on both sides.
Wu Xiu was weak all over and couldn't get on the horse several times. At this moment, several arrows roared and hit the old horse. The old horse neighed and fell to the ground and died.
Dozens of Cao's soldiers were rushing towards this side. Liu Jing pulled Wu Xiu, turned around and ran away for about a mile. In the chaos, Liu Jing rushed into the pile of corpses and wiped his face and body with blood.
"Hurry, don't be idle," Liu Jing cursed in a low voice.
Wu Xiu then realized, grabbed the blood from the ground and wiped it on his face, "Young Master... You can run away from your life like this."
"I don't know, I'll just be punished for a while."
Liu Jing knew that Cao's army was surrounded on all sides. Unless there was a horse, they would die if they ran out, and even had a horse was useless. They would not survive under the arrows. If Cao's army did not clean the battlefield, they might be able to escape their lives.
But thinking about it, it was impossible. Cao's army would burn the body to prevent the plague. Liu Jing felt despair for the first time, and I don't know if he could escape this time.
The war has gradually come to an end, and dozens of war horses are galloping, and the war horses are standing beside Liu Jing, and the general is Gao Lan immediately.
There was a human head tied under his horse's head. It was Liu Pi, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army. He had been killed by Gao Lan. He stared at him and died with his eyes open. Drops of blood dripped from his neck, and it happened to drip on Liu Jing's head, which was creepy.
Gao Lan shouted loudly: "Check the battlefield, all the Yellow Turban Army who pretended to be dead will be killed."
Liu Jing's heart sank. This time he was really hard to save his life. He also hoped to plan Liu Biao's family business, but now all his dreams were shattered.
At this time, a sudden chaos broke out in the northwest corner, and a soldier shouted: "Liu Bei's army is here."
In despair, Liu Jing saw another glimmer of life. He secretly looked up and saw a team of hundreds of people breaking into the Cao army group, holding up a big flag with yellow characters on the black letters, and writing a big character Liu. It was Liu Bei's army that was coming.
Liu Jing sighed in his heart, but unfortunately they were one step late. Liu Pi had been killed. If they knew the news, they would definitely evacuate immediately.
However, Liu Bei's army had too few troops and was soon dispersed by Cao's army. The general led by the leader was not afraid and rushed into the Cao army alone, killing Cao's soldiers overturned. Wherever they passed, Cao's soldiers were so scared that they ran away with their heads in their arms.
Gao Lan was very annoyed, "Who is he alone, is he so fierce?"
"General, it seems to be Zhao Yun"
Zhao Yun and Liu Jing's heart lit up, and he seemed to see a trace of vitality again.
At this moment, a long roar came from afar, and the sound became louder and louder, just like a young dragon going out to sea.
Under the sunshine, a white-robed silver spear general rushed from a distance. He danced the silver spear in his hand, and Gao Jun, a war horse under his crotch, was brave and brave. He rushed over like a dragon, as if he was flying in the clouds and fog, blocking the way of Gao Lan and the Cao soldiers. It was Zhao Yun. He came to rescue Liu Pi on the order of Liu Bei, but he came one step later.
"Where is Liu Bi?" Zhao Yun shouted dozens of steps away.
Gao Lan sneered, "Isn't it just my horse?"
Zhao Yun saw Liu Pi's head at first sight and couldn't help but be furious and urged his horse to rush over. Dozens of Cao's cavalry rushed forward and stabbed Zhao Yun with spears, surrounding him from front, back, left and right.
Zhao Yun ran away with a war horse, and his spear flew in his hand, like pear blossoms flying. In an instant, dozens of Cao's cavalry were killed by him, and dead bodies were everywhere. Two soldiers fell off the horse, got up and ran away.
Zhao Yun rode a war horse and jumped over the heads of two soldiers, killing both silver spears with his backhand, and the two soldiers were pierced through the throat.
As soon as the spear was retracted, a lightning bolt pierced Gao Lan, shouting like thunder, "Rebel thief, take me Zhao Yun with a shot."
Gao Lan roared and slashed towards him. The knife was strong and as fast as lightning.
Zhao Yun took off his silver spear and took advantage of the situation to lift Gao Lan's sword. The big spear did not stop. He took advantage of the momentum of the war horse and stabbed Gao Lan's face.
Gao Lan cut the sky with a knife, and the sharp spear head had already arrived in front of him, which was so shocked that he was scattered. His head flashed to the left with a snap. The tip of the spear pierced his face, cutting a long blood groove, half of which was picked away, and blood gushed out.
Before he could react, Zhao Yun's war horse rushed past him. In the moment of lightning, Zhao Yun swung his single shot and smashed the spear head heavily into his back. This was one of Zhao Yun's unique skills: a gun hammer, using the spear head as a hammer, and using powerful force to break the opponent's spine.
Gao Lan felt the strong wind coming from behind him, and he felt a chill in his heart. At this time, he had no choice but to turn the knife rod back and with a harsh sound, the spear head hit Gao Lan's sword rod heavily. The spear head was at least 100 kilograms. Gao Lan's tiger mouth shattered, and the big knife came out of his hand, and the fish scale iron armor blade was shot and flew everywhere.
Gao Lan shouted, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his bones almost shattered, but he was an experienced general on the battlefield after all. With this force of pulling, he fled with a war horse and ran away, and in a moment he ran away without a trace.
In fact, Gao Lan's martial arts skills are also very strong, and he can fight Zhao Yun for at least ten rounds, but Zhao Yun was angry and extremely brave. Gao Lan was so nervous that he was panicked in his heart, and his martial arts performance was naturally reduced. This shortening made him unable to compete with Zhao Yun.
The battle between Zhao Yun and Gao Lan only met with each other. The rabbit rose and falconed fell and ended in an instant. However, the thrilling battle made Liu Jing stunned. Zhao Yun's speed, strength, and tragic results made Liu Jing breathlessly.
He slowly sat up and stared at this famous general who had been famous for all ages. At this time, an extremely strong wish came to his heart, and Liu Jing also wanted to become such a powerful general.
Zhao Yun stopped the war horse and glanced at Liu Jing and Wu Xiu. Seeing that the two of them were covered in blood, but their clothes were not as good as the Yellow Turban Army, he didn't even ask too much, and said, "You run away quickly and pretend to be dead, so you can't escape the killing."
He turned his horse's head and was about to leave. Wu Xiu said anxiously: "This general, this is the son of the governor of Liuzhou, Jingzhou. He is in trouble. Please save our lives. The governor of the state will thank you very much."
Zhao Yun was stunned, but then shook his head, "I can't save you, you can go quickly."
He urged the horse to run. As soon as he ran for more than ten steps, Liu Jing shouted: "General Zilong, do you really want to leave us alone?"
Zhao Yun shook slightly, but he didn't stop. He ran for more than a hundred steps, but he led two war horses and ran back. He looked at Liu Jing deeply, "You guys get on the horse and rush out with me."
Wu Xiu was overjoyed, and he wanted to save them. He quickly turned over the horse and pulled the reins. When Zhao Yun saw that Liu Jing was not moving, he frowned, "Why don't you get on the horse?"
Liu Jing learned a simple horse riding skill and could also have some basic skills, but he had to ride a horse, but he didn't have that kind of horse control ability. Liu Jing sighed, "You go, I can't ride a horse, it will implicate you."
"Young Master, we can ride a horse together." Wu Xiu said on the side.
Zhao Yun did not adopt this plan. He urged the horse to go up, grabbed Liu Jing with one arm, and grabbed him with one hand, put it behind his horse, "Hold my waist tightly."
Zhao Yun urged the horse to run fast. He knew in his heart that only his own war horse could carry two people to run fast. If other horses could not carry two people to run fast, they would instead drag him down.
However, Liu Jing did not hug him on the back of the waist, but clamped the horse's belly with his legs, leaned on Zhao Yun's back, and fixed his body firmly. He took off the round shield from Zhao Yun's back and held the short sword in one hand.
Liu Jing is actually smarter than anyone else. If he holds Zhao Yun's back, wouldn't he become a target?
