Royal Road - Chapter 216

[Chapter 215 | City]

“Commander! Commander, let’s go!”

A guard shouted loudly under the command of the Central Military Commander.

However, Pei Dun could no longer hear it.

Riding on the horse, his eyes were wide open, glaring at the chaotic battlefield in front of him, and his mind was full of disbelief.

How could the Huns still have a cavalry?

How could they endure this moment?

Why can’t the Chinese army stop it?

!

A flying feather penetrated the human wall and attacked Pei Dun.

His head was completely dead, and he dodged awkwardly, but did not dodge.

Fortunately, the arrow was slightly biased, and it swiped across the neck, leaving a long bloodstain.

Reflexively raised his hand and pressed it on the wound, burning pain came.

Pei Dun’s teeth rattled, whether it was hatred or fear, his face became hideous.

“General! The Chinese army can’t hold it anymore, get out of here quickly!” A personal soldier rushed up and grabbed Pei Dun’s mount.

The tall Wusun horse neighed impatiently, and Pei Dun woke up from the chaos.

There was only a thin layer of the human wall in front of him, and across the distance, you could see splashes of blood and smell the pungent stench.

The heart was drawn into a ball, and the idea of resisting the army and keeping the handsome flag disappeared.

He clenched the reins abruptly, and without saying a word, turned the horse’s head and fled into the distance.

Pei Dun is wearing a bright light armor, which is powerful, but on the battlefield, it is like a shining bronze mirror, and it is difficult to see it.

Therefore, he fled extremely embarrassedly, with a lot of personal soldiers covering his side, and even his figure was almost lying on the horse.

The Chinese army has not yet completely disintegrated, and it is not an easy task to pursue the commander in such a dense enemy formation.

Liu Cong did not catch up.

On the contrary, he took off the hard bow from the horse, and stretched his arms to the extreme.

Liu Cong is brawny and swift, and his archery skills are the best.

But the arrow didn’t hit anyone, Xian Song’s arrow rang, only to hear a “click”, and the flag of the Chinese army commander fell in response!

“The head coach gives the head! Pei Dun is dead!” Liu Cong shouted loudly as he pulled the reins.

When facing the enemy, it is entirely up to the flag to command, and the flag is the soul of the army, and sometimes it is even more important than the general himself.

Since Pei Dun gave up the handsome flag, how could he miss such an opportunity!

All the Xiongnu soldiers shouted in unison, and the thousands of light cavalry were like red-hot knives, which instantly penetrated the Chinese army.

With this action, the news that the coach was slaughtered also spread throughout the enemy camp.

After passing through the central army, Liu Cong was not in a hurry to turn around.

He was old in battle and knew the principles of warfare, so he naturally knew that the enemy’s left flank was now rushing back to help, and it would be troublesome for the cavalry to be trapped in the formation.

It is better to wait for the morale of the enemy army to completely collapse, and then bring the main force that had feigned defeat before to annihilate this Bingzhou army in one fell swoop.

However, unexpectedly, this chaotic central army did not become chaotic due to the damage to the commander flag, but gradually gathered together.

what happened?

Could it be that Pei Dun, the cowardly thing like a mouse, has returned to the Central Army again?

“Stabilize the formation! Quickly let the generals at all levels obey orders, and don’t leave the post without permission! The governor of Liang is still in Jinyang, as long as he stabilizes his position, he can return to the city safely!” Linghu Kuang shouted hoarsely, and his personal soldiers , and kept traversing the battlefield, just like choking a mad horse, constantly gathering the Chinese army that was about to collapse.

Pei Dun this arse!

He even abandoned the flag and fled for his life alone!

The anger that had been suppressed for a long time could no longer be contained, and Linghu Kuang shouted out the voice in his heart.

What would happen without Pei Dun?

Inspector Liang is still in Jinyang City, as long as he is there, the situation will not fall out of control.

He wants to keep the only remaining strength in this Bingzhou, and keep some troops for the emperor!

Linghu Kuang had worked in Shangdang and fought side by side with Yiyan several times.

The method of his military training, intentionally or unintentionally, is also learning from that strong army.

And this kind of imitation worked at the most critical juncture.

The handsome flag was gone, but his general flag was still there. With this and Liang Feng’s prestige, he actually supported Linghusheng to lead his troops back to the rescue.

The rest of the soldiers slowly gathered up, like a hedgehog with spikes, and gradually came to a standstill.

Seeing that the fighter was lost, Liu Cong snorted lightly and stopped wasting his strength.

When the news of Jinyang’s siege spreads, the enemy army will be in chaos, just take advantage of the situation to annihilate it.

In this room, Uncle and Nephew Linghu struggled to stabilize the situation.

Over there, Pei Dun’s fast horse still hasn’t stopped.

If the Chinese army were defeated, more than 10,000 soldiers would have to flee in all directions, and it would be unimaginable to be involved in the defeated army!

“Commander! The enemy army didn’t catch up!” Pei Dun didn’t dare to take a closer look, but the personal soldiers beside him watched the six roads and shouted loudly after escaping from the chaos.

What?

Pei Dun couldn’t help turning his head to look.

Sure enough, there was chaos behind and there was really no enemy chasing after him.

The heart that had been hanging for a long time suddenly fell, but Pei Dun did not stop.

The personal soldiers around him had dropped sharply from five hundred to less than one hundred, and more than half had been lost.

It doesn’t seem very safe to take only these seventy or eighty people.

Moreover, there is a large army besieging the city in Jinyang at the rear, and there is almost nowhere to escape.

Liu Changshi didn’t know where he was, and he didn’t even have anyone to take a look at.

Pei Dun hesitated for a moment, and finally said, “Go to the transportation camp first!” The

transportation camp is still in the back, and there is no news of the fall.

It’s better to hide there first, wait until the Chinese army has news, and then order someone to respond.

After making up his mind, Pei Dun immediately urged the horse and led people to the direction of the carriage camp.

Zhao Da’s face was solemn, and he was guarding in front of the baggage camp.

After the attack that day, the battalion officer did not treat them badly, the “servants” who temporarily rescued the formation, and selected four or five hundred people to enrich the battalion.

As a result, most of his men and horses changed into ordnance and became soldiers in the army.

If it was someone else, I’m afraid it would be hard to complain, but for Zhao Da and others, this is the best opportunity.

However, news came today that Jinyang was surrounded.

This is much worse than expected.

In this way, the former army is likely to change or even be defeated.

I don’t know if they can successfully complete the task.

Just thinking about it, a cavalry suddenly rushed towards this side. There were only seventy or eighty people. The one in the middle was actually wearing a bright light armor!

With a thud in his heart, Zhao Da clenched the spear in his hand.

Damn it, isn’t this Dudu Pei?

Why was he not in the Central Army and came here alone?

What happened to the former army?

However, in the blink of an eye, killing intent appeared in Zhao Da’s eyes.

Such a coach, as General Yi said, can’t be kept!

After giving a secret signal to the people around him, several guards at the camp gate immediately pretended to be alert and fearful, and raised their weapons one after another.

“Get out of the way! The Governor returns to the camp! How dare you stop me!” The few cavalry soldiers who rushed in front shouted, waving their whips, and attacking them.

This is a real drive away, and it will not leave a half-strength.

Zhao Da’s face was drawn with blood, and he seemed to curl up in fear to clear the passage.

The group of people did not intend to dismount and stop, so they tried to rush into the camp gate.

However, when Pei Dun’s car was about to pass the camp gate, Zhao Da’s spear suddenly shook, as if he had been frightened out of his hand, and was sliding towards the tall horse.

The shining point of the spear hit the horse’s face.

No matter how extraordinary the steed was, suddenly a shining sharp object was in front of him, and it still made the Wusun steed jump up in shock.

It’s not a big deal for the horse to lose control, but after fleeing for a long time, he finally reached his tent, and Pei Dun relaxed both physically and mentally.

Was thrown off the back of the mad horse.

However, unfortunately, the horses were riding from front to back, left and right, no one expected such an accident, and even the reins were too late to pull.

Hearing a group of people shouting the horse’s neigh, the gang of personal soldiers immediately became a mess.

When Zhao Da saw the situation, he immediately greeted his companions, and several of them quietly retreated.

“General!” A personal soldier jumped off his horse, his eyes were splitting, and he rushed towards the coach in the dust.

Unfortunately, it’s late.

He suddenly fell off the horse and was trampled several times by the galloping horse. Pei Dun’s chest collapsed, and his arms twisted to another angle strangely. His wide eyes were filled with unbelievable anger.

As if he was about to speak, he opened his mouth, but what came out was blood, not only from his mouth, but also from his eyes and ears.

This is to live.

Being caught by the bloody finger, the soldier’s heart was icy cold.

The coach died in battle, and all of their personal soldiers were to be buried with them!

However, desperately rushing out of the enemy’s line, but here, how can one be reconciled?

!

He raised his head in fear and wanted to look at his brother beside him, but all he could see were dodging expressions.

For a time, there was only Pei Dun’s dying ho ho guttural sound.

No one can save him!

Someone’s horse let out a neigh, and suddenly someone pulled the horse and fled outside the camp.

This battle has already damaged too much, and he doesn’t want to accompany his life.

One person escaped, and the others began to move around, and without much effort, they escaped in all directions.

It’s good that they are the personal soldiers of Pei’s family.

But Pei Dun is stubborn and treats his servants especially harshly.

Who can bear to be responsible for an accident after desperately trying?

Seeing that the surrounding men and horses had escaped cleanly, there were also footsteps shouting from the camp.

The personal soldier gritted his teeth, stretched out Pei Dun’s trembling fingers, turned around and pulled his mount.

Before the soldiers in the battalion rushed up, he kicked the horse’s belly so hard that the horse neighed and walked away.

Watching the people beside him escaped in disbelief, the anger in Pei Dun’s eyes turned into fear and despair, and he raised his arm forcefully, trying to grab something.

However, the hand finally fell to the ground.

The blood continued to flow, turning into a dead silence of ashes.

※

Liang Feng staggered down the city head.

Standing in the city for a day, sweat soaked through the clothes long ago, even the fingertips were cut by the crossbow strings, and the blood dripped down the back of the hands and dripped onto the clothes.

It had been a long, long time before he was so tired or so embarrassed.

The sky was completely dark, and the tide-like attack came to an end for the time being.

However, this is only the first day, and I don’t know how long it will last.

The battle of the city head has always been a contest of will and determination.

Of course, there is also the stack of human lives.

Standing on the stairs, he looked down the city.

In the shadows, under the torches, there are countless wounded people sitting and lying.

The doctors and nurses in the city were pulled out, but there were still many people lying on the ground, not yet settled.

One is the limited manpower, and the other is the fierce battle before. Except for the wounded number that is really dying, who is not facing the enemy with injury?

After dark, the young men who were carried down the city’s head immediately surged several times, and a group of medical staff went in and out, but they were still not in a hurry.

In addition to doctors, many monks from Huai’en Temple are also helping.

Those who bandaged wounds, those who carried the wounded, and even stood directly on the edge of the city to save for the deceased.

Muttering Sanskrit in this desolate scene, it actually has the meaning of being out of the dust.

Qing Zhuang next to him, whether he believed in Buddhism or not, couldn’t help but stop and watch, as if he wanted to draw some compassionate power from this Buddha’s sound.

And crying.

Big or small, floating in the corners.

Some are unbearable pain, some are terrifying, and some are crying in grief over the loss of a loved one.

Mixed with Sanskrit, it seems a little weird and weird.

Looking at such a scene, Liang Feng felt that his heart was clenched fiercely, and he couldn’t breathe.

Most of these people were farmers who were buried in the fields yesterday, but today, they risked their lives and fought endlessly to defend the city.

No one can know better than Liang Feng himself.

It is to seize | power.

Because of Pei Dun’s existence, because of Sima Yue’s suspicion.

He must find a way out.

A path that can make high schools work, let soldiers return to their hearts, and let the people’s hearts desire, and at the same time, it is justifiable.

Pei Dun sent troops hard, and even Liu Hu took advantage of the situation to make a sneak attack, and he counted it.

He also made perfect plans and arrangements with Duan Qin, Yi Yan, Sun Li and others.

Just to do everything possible to successfully take over the military command of Bingzhou from the new governor.

Did he do it right?

Now all the high gates in the city have sent private soldiers, and there are countless young men who have signed up for the war.

After the Battle of Lishi, those generals will also recognize who is the only hope for Jinyang and even Bingzhou.

If it is not expected, Pei Dun will die in the battle and level the last barrier for him.

he made it.

It also created everything in front of you.

What if we don’t fight this battle?

What if Pei Dun was killed in the Governor’s Mansion in advance?

Once the new governor dies unexpectedly, how many waves will there be in Jinyang City?

How much will he have to pay to suppress the high door, even fight against the imperial court, and save more lives?

With that choice, how many people will die?

This is a question with no correct answer.

Choose one and sacrifice the other.

And he chose the one that was most beneficial to him.

A choice made with human life.

Perhaps because he stood for too long, someone suddenly found him in the city.

“Your Majesty!” “It’s the son of the Buddha!” “Bless the Medicine Buddha!”

The sparse voice gradually grew louder, and even the whining and crying were suppressed.

Many injured people struggled to get up, wanting to pay homage to the noble person who was like a god and Buddha.

Looking at that sincere face, Liang Feng suddenly felt that the armor on his shoulders was too heavy for him to bear.

He opened his mouth before he squeezed out a few voices: “Thanks to you, Jinyang was held. There will still be a fierce battle tomorrow, and there will be casualties, but Jinyang is still there. Thank you

all.” He bowed deeply. With his back, he solemnly returned to the crowd who were kneeling.

The noise grew louder, and there were even moving tears.

Liang Feng swallowed his saliva hard, but the thing stuck in his throat never disappeared.
