1141 The distance is getting closer and closer
Staring at the chaotic crowd ahead, running and shouting like headless flies, many Wu soldiers rolled and crawled with the intention of escaping the way... Teams of Wei's armored cavalry that were urging horses to gallop were well-trained, and naturally formed a formation in the pursuit process, pounced on the Wu ministers who had been left far behind by Xu Zhigao.
"Kill!" A large number of cavalry soldiers rushed over and immediately raised their sabers in their hands, reflecting a piece of cold light. A small Wu army school not far away was so scared that they howled. They even scattered the surrounding soldiers and the beasts, and they did not intend to fight to the death with the vicious Wei army pursuers.
After all, leaving the city in a panic, like a dog that was strayed from the family. Without the command of the Shangguan Army, he was easily caught up by the enemy... Faced with the sudden attack, he was immediately in chaos. A carriage capsized beside him, and the generals and soldiers of the Wu army who were running were not at all time to care about the dignitaries and nobles... The phoenix that landed on the ground was not as important as a chicken. Now that it is important to survive and escape, they cannot protect themselves, so how can they distinguish their status? Now that you can't care about the life and death of you officials and masters, you can only blame your misfortune!
In the overturned carriage, a civil servant crawled out in dust, his forehead was broken, and a trace of blood oozed out... He hurriedly helped out another woman out of the carriage, and saw nearly a hundred Wei cavalry rushing to death. He was so shocked that they were as if they were frightened, and they shouted and hugged each other in a group.
Zhou Zong, who was a member of the capital of Xuanshe Army of Wu, was promoted by Xu Zhigao because he was good at speaking and was alert to work, and often participated in discussing secret matters. However, Zhou Zong was a civil servant after all, and he often made suggestions and was an expert in government affairs. However, when facing the fierce armored cavalry of the Wei army who were used to fighting, he naturally had to be slaughtered.
He hurriedly brought some money and took a car to leave the city with the troops recruited by Xu Zhigao, all the servants in the mansion also scattered. At present, the Wu soldiers around the Rongwei were already running and fleeing. Seeing a large number of Wei army cavalry with scorching murderous intent and making excitement shouts of killing. While he rode his horse quickly came in, he also held up the weapons of the cold sword in the middle of his hand... Zhou Zong was so shocked that his whole body was shaking like a sieve, but he had no choice but to snuggle with his wife, and there was no difference from the poultry to be slaughtered!
Fortunately, the commander who commanded the Wei cavalry was sharp-eyed. Zhou Zong looked very sharp-eyed. He looked very clear and weak-hearted. Looking at him wearing brocade clothes, he seemed to be a person with some status in the Wu court... The commander glanced at him and saw that the woman who was curled up with the Wu official was beautiful. However, the Wei Dynasty's military discipline was strict, and now it was an important time to pursue the enemy. Naturally, he could not have any wrong thoughts... so he shouted loudly:
"Assign ten soldiers, take the men and women to the military camp to be detained, ask for their identities, and report to the recruitment envoy... The rest of the people, as I continue to pursue, the civil and military officials of the Wu Kingdom who broke through, captured them alive, and those who intend to resist, killed them as soon as possible, and they must not be allowed to escape!"
Zhou Zong and his wife fell behind on the way and were captured alive by the Wei army. It was lucky to be like their situation... The Wei army cavalry chased and killed them all the way, quickly destroying the rear formation of the fleeing crowd, and rolling up waves, completely submerging the ministers and ministers who had no time to hide.
Among the direct officials promoted and used by Xu Zhigao, Cui Taichu ran in a panic, but shot the scattered arrow and fell straight down, lying on the ground, and no more movement. Yao Jing also crawled out of the carriage where the car was falling, but was facing a group of Wei army cavalry that were galloping and rushing out. His body was directly knocked out by the high-speed war horses. When he landed on the ground, he had already vented more and had less air intake...
Gu Yu
Just five or six miles further west, a carriage with gorgeous decorations, carriages, tents, and sieges were completely intercepted by the Wei army pursuers. A Wei cavalry general, Ce, rode forward and used a long knife dripping blood on the blade to lift the curtain. He suddenly heard a woman's scream sound from the carriage.
In the official history, Empress Yuanjing of the Southern Tang Dynasty, now married to Xu Zhigao, Song Jinfu, was originally displaced due to wars in his childhood. Later, he was adopted by Wang Rong, the governor of Shengzhou. He was then sent to the Xu Mansion as a dowry maid and Wang Rong's daughter... However, Song Jinfu's life experience was very similar to his husband Xu Zhigao. Because Wang died early, she gave birth to Xu Jingtong and Xu Jingqian one after another for Xu Zhigao, so she was quickly promoted to become the official wife. If he followed the trajectory of history, Song Jinfu started from a refugee and a dowry maid, and he also counterattacked and became the first queen of the Southern Tang Empire.
However, Song Jinfu is now huddling in the carriage and is worried. He is hugging his youngest son Xu Jingqian, who is crying loudly. But the blood-dropping sword lifts the curtain, and she hurriedly takes her eldest son Xu Jingtong around her in her arms... Her husband Xu Zhigao is guarded by a group of personal soldiers and has escaped more than ten miles away. All the Wu soldiers around him are scattered and flees. What does Song Jinfu, a weak wife, use to fight against the murderous Wei soldiers?
As for the Wei general who was lifting the curtain, he saw a beautiful woman sitting in the carriage, huddling in a corner. Her body was trembling and looking at her in horror. She was holding a baby in her arms and cried, and she was holding a five or six-year-old child beside her, full of hostility and glaring, but she was obviously scared and her whole body was trembling.
The Wei army cavalry general frowned into a big mess, and did not intend to make things difficult for women, children, so he put down the curtain of the car, waved his hand, and ordered the military academy around him to transfer some soldiers to control the car, and drag Xu Zhigao's wife and two descendants to the Wei army camp. After the war, he would wait for the Wu Zhaozhao to take the lead...
At this moment, Xu Zhigao was still holding the horse's neck tightly, only carving and galloping. Two or three thousand cavalrymen followed closely, thinking about how to escape from the sky as soon as possible. All the confidant generals under his command gathered beside him, and naturally no one went to rescue his maternal mother and young master like Zhao Zilong, who had been killed in the seven-in-seven-out period in Cao Cao's army... Xu Zhigao was also very clear that his wife and children were left far behind. He was probably not dead in the chaos, but had been captured alive by the Wei army.
Xu Zhigao was bleeding, but he had to make up his mind to continue to gallop. Before he had no choice, he would of course not leave his hard work in Wu and his increasingly respected status and power. However, Xu Zhigao still had the ambition to make a comeback. If he had a breath, how could he be slaughtered? Then even if his beloved wife and his own flesh and blood, even if he was reluctant to leave, he must give up now!
At this time, Xu Zhigao had to concentrate and use all his strength to ensure that he would not fall off the violently bumpy horse's back. At this time, fate was still difficult to grasp... Whether he could break through, how far he could escape, and whether he could reach Yue Kingdom for asylum again, Xu Zhigao knew that he was not sure, but he could not give up until the last moment of despair.
The Wei army pursued the troops quickly broke down the rear formation and kept biting it tightly. Cavalry soldiers roared from a distance from the distance. As they kept approaching, some cavalry chased behind the Rong Wei Xu Zhigao's personal army, and immediately drove the horse forward and bit it hard. In less than a long time, five or six groups of Wei cavalry were chasing each other. The soldiers in the army had red eyes and stared at the two or three thousand soldiers around Xu Zhigao!
Xu Zhigao was sweating heavily and kept looking back. Suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and he could hear the rumbling sounds coming into his ears... Listening to the sound of defending the position, Xu Zhigao also realized that another group of Wei cavalry would also come out from the side, and would inevitably intercept it quickly!
