Chapter 194: A Fateful Time (14)
It's a pity that this time the reaction of the beggar blazing pan is really comparative, and he was not able to shoot him, Duan Ye felt very regretful.
And under the rage, the begging blazing pan shook his spirit, waved and fought with Duan Ye, and when it came to the head-to-head battle, Duan Ye realized that the strength of the begging blazing pan was really great, and the martial arts far exceeded his expectations, which was a hard idea, therefore, Duan Ye did not dare to slack off, shake his spirit, and fight with the begging blazing pan.
The two sides were basically evenly matched, and after dozens of rounds of fighting, Duan Ye had a slight upper hand.
But in fact, this is not good for Duan Ye, and Duan Ye feels it very much. Although he didn't have any reason.
Now, after Ge Bo's repeated training, Duan Ye is actually a few masters in terms of individual combat ability, but it is a one-on-one fight, but everyone knows that fighting on the battlefield and fighting with personal courage are completely different things, no matter how strong Duan Ye's ability is, in the army, facing the other party, it is difficult to gain too much advantage.
The question is here, and the begging blazing rock itself is not a weak hand, so it is impossible for Duan Ye to kill him in two strokes, and as soon as the two sides become entangled, Duan Ye will lose an important weight, that is, time.
Because it was during this time period that the Beggar Mansion finally led his troops to arrive, and when Duan Ye reacted, the roar of Fang Cai was indeed a cavalry from the south.
The eyesight of the beggar mansion is also good, and after seeing the battle in front of him, he is also quite glad that he did not hesitate, but arrived decisively.
He yelled and said, "Big brother, I'm here to help you!" ”
After that, the begging mansion clamped the horse's legs and led his troops to enter the enemy formation with an unstoppable momentum.
The tide turned in an instant.
Originally, the Dunhuang army was fighting more and less, and the begging side was full of morale, and the two sides were generally speaking, the Dunhuang army had a slight advantage, but because of the initial burst of bow and crossbow salvos, the people in the begging department were caught off guard, killing and wounding a lot of people, so Duan Ye was actually very confident and ended the battle quickly.
But at this moment, the addition of the Begging Mansion decisively changed the tide of the battle, because both sides were dozens of people, and the Beggar Mansion brought 200 people at once, and they still joined at the height of the battle.
The war is cruel, the warriors of the Dunhuang army, the training cannot be said to be poor, and the battle cannot be said to be heroic, but? The advantage of numbers cannot be overcome by relying on these.
Duan Ye saw that one by one familiar figures were being killed by the enemy, they looked at themselves with unwilling eyes, they were so helpless, their sturdy bodies fell irretrievably, although Duan Ye wanted to go over and save them, but the begging blazing rock was really much more powerful than he imagined, and he was really powerless.
At this moment, Duan Ye felt very, very guilty in his heart.
Because he is a smart person, he knows the reason very well, and this time it is not for other reasons, it is completely his own judgment error.
It is true that some people in the beggar department are unwilling and want to explore the truth, but they did not carefully screen the enemy's situation at all, but after receiving the news of the sixty people, they hurriedly made a decision based on this.
Moreover, because of this, Duan Ye did not leave the city with enough men, so now, when the number of enemies is more than expected, the Dunhuang army is almost completely unable to resist.
If it weren't for themselves, they could have safely slept in Nan'an City! As soon as he thought of these elite soldiers who he brought out single-handedly, he died in vain, and Duan Ye's heart was like a knife.
At this time, Duan Ye was almost stabbed to death by Begging Blazing Pan because of his distraction, but just after flashing, Begging Blazing Pan laughed and said: "Gongfu, Duan Ye'er is here, come, help me kill him!" ”
The beggar mansion replied loudly: "The boy surnamed Duan, don't run if you have the ability, see me take your life!" ”
As soon as he finished saying this, he hated it in his heart, the public mansion was honest! Doesn't this mean reminding Duan Ye.
If someone else, or the commander of the first army, of course will fight to the end in this case, otherwise, if you put on the hat that escaped from the battle, you want to take it off again, but it is too difficult, how to lead the army in the future.
But Duan Ye's guy, when the two sides were shouting, they all wanted to put their sleeve arrows to plot against themselves, and there was something else he couldn't do.
When you shout like this, isn't it tantamount to reminding him that the situation is unfavorable now, so he should run away?
Sure enough, Duan Ye looked stunned, and Qi Fu Chipan immediately saw his thoughts, and roared angrily: "Duan Ye Xiao'er, do you want to leave!" ”
In fact, at that moment, Duan Ye really wanted to come, the so-called stay in the green mountains, not afraid of running out of firewood, Duan Ye himself is the core of a party's forces, there is no need to spend it with these people here, it is easy for thousands of troops to get a general, it is not difficult to understand.
But Duan Ye admitted that at this moment, the words of the begging mansion affected him, and the eyes and words of the begging blazing pan affected him even more.
Intellectually, Duan Ye should run, in fact, with Duan Ye's ability, if he wants to run, no one can stop him.
But this is tantamount to admitting defeat, and the myth that Duan Ye is undefeated is broken, and what is even more terrifying is that there are so many people around him who are fighting bloodily for Duan Ye.
They all chose to come out to fight at this time because they listened to Duan Ye's words, and if Duan Ye left, it would be tantamount to abandoning them.
Although Duan Ye was sure, they would definitely advocate going by themselves, and they were willing to cover their own way, and they were even willing to die for themselves.
But Duan Ye couldn't do that.
Just because Duan Ye is still young, Duan Ye's blood is still hot, and Duan Ye is not a politician who will do anything for his own interests.
At this moment, he decided to hold on. Although this decision almost killed him.
Duan Ye struggled to resist the attack of the begging blazing rock, and said in a loud voice: "Warriors, my brothers, I Duan Ye swear, I will be with you in life and with you in death, and we will fight to the end!" ”
"Bloody battle to the end, bloody battle to the end!"
At this moment, all the people brought out by Duan Ye, as long as they were alive, all shouted in unison.
None of them are stupid people, they are all Duan Ye's carefully selected henchmen, in addition to their strong martial arts, the common feature is that their brains are very good, and they can certainly appreciate the subtle changes in each scene.
In all fairness, if Duan Ye chose to flee at that moment, they would definitely break off for Duan Ye, but the feeling in their hearts was definitely different from now, but now, Duan Ye chose to live and die with them, what a shock to them.
It turns out that sharing honor and disgrace, advancing and retreating together, is a real game, not a lie.
It turns out that the soldiers are one, everyone is equal, regardless of high and low, and it is also true that Duan Ye will do it for them today.
Mencius said well, the king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy.
Duan Ye treats them, his clothes can be warm, his food can be safe, he cares about them, and he is willing to live and die with them on the battlefield, not to mention the treatment of the countrymen, since Duan Ye treats them so well, these hot-blooded men can only fight with their own lives.
In an instant, almost all the people of the Dunhuang army had a surging combat effectiveness several times, and they actually withstood it after the begging mansion department joined, and Hu Kai personally led twenty people, stuck between the begging and begging mansions, preventing the two of them from converging.
Duan Ye led the remaining less than twenty people, entangled with the begging blazing rock, and for a time the balance of power was formed on the battlefield.
However, this balance of power is temporary, because people's morale can only instantly stimulate combat effectiveness, but it cannot change the fundamental balance of forces, and in the final analysis, the difference in numbers is very difficult to reverse.
The people around Duan Ye fell down one by one, and the people around Hu Kai were facing attacks from both sides, and their pressure was even greater, and Hu Kai was already injured in many places.
If Hu Kai is eliminated there, after the convergence of the Begging Blazing Rock and the Begging Mansion, it can be said that the general trend has gone, because the advantage in numbers can no longer be compensated by tactics and terrain.
What's even more serious is that at this moment, Duan Ye has almost lost the opportunity to escape, and he has no choice but to fight to the end.
But so far, Duan Ye still has no regrets.
Duan Ye had already thought about it, if he fought to the end, Duan Ye was sure that he still couldn't defeat the other party and escape, then this was Duan Ye's fate, even if he crossed it once, he still couldn't defeat his fate, in that case, Duan Ye would give an order.
Now that the two sides are in a state of anxiety, those twenty divine arm bows will not come in handy, but if they are convinced that there is no hope, Duan Ye will order them to cover the battlefield with a salvo.
When I was a child, Duan Ye watched a famous movie, and I still remember the picture of "Shoot at Me", at that time, Duan Ye actually felt that such a picture, such words, was really 2, but at this moment, Duan Ye could understand all this.
What does it mean to rather die than give in, and when it is irreparable, even if you die with the enemy, you will never retreat and never give in.
*************************************
This morning in Chang'an City, the weather is hazy, and the light rain stops and goes, which is very suitable for doing something interesting.
Murong Xi stretched, Shi Shiran walked out of the mansion, and was about to go out, but he heard a crisp voice, saying, "King Hejian, please stay!" ”
Murong Xi was taken aback, and didn't bother to look at the person who made the voice, but he glanced around vigilantly, and after making sure that there was no one else, he went to look at the woman.
The reason is very simple, up to now, Murong Xi and others are still considered subjects of the Great Qin Empire, the King of Hejian, and he was his own title when the Great Yan Kingdom was still in the past, and if he also publicly recognized this title, it would be tantamount to a blatant rebellion.
Although I have a careful plan now, today is the launch period.
But? Before the matter is completed, it is always necessary to avoid all accidents, if at this time, there are Yulin troops walking by, or the officials of Chang'an City passing by, just by this sound, he may be arrested, in that case, Murong Xi really doesn't know where to reason.
Look at the girl again, fifteen or sixteen years old, with a long figure, a duck egg face, beautiful eyebrows and almond eyes, and a wet bun in the rain, but she looks smart.
The woman saluted and said, "I've seen Murong Gongzi!" It seems that the girl also understood the meaning of Murong Xi's nervous expression, and changed her words very obediently.
Murong Xi was stunned and said, "Girl, let's ...... I don't think I've seen it before! ”
The girl smiled, lowered her voice, and said: "Childe, the slave maid is the person who Zhang Niangniang accepted into the palace, the ancestral home of Longcheng, and today I was ordered to come out to purchase a piece of satin for Niangniang, and now I am just passing by here!" ”
Murong Xi suddenly realized that Longcheng is not another place, but the birthplace of the Great Yan Kingdom, since this woman is said to be Longcheng, she is undoubtedly her own person, to put it bluntly, she is an undercover agent in the palace.
Murong Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you come in!" ”
"Slaves don't dare to enter the door!" The woman lowered her eyebrows and said.
Murong Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Fang Cai's words that seemed very ordinary turned out to be an incision between the two.
Undercover this kind of thing, we must be cautious, a little careless, it may cause serious consequences, so between each other, we must agree on a code, only the code, can be trusted, and it is to recognize the code but not people, even if they are familiar with each other, say the wrong cut, that will not work.
As for choosing such a simple code, it is because everyone has heard such words, so that they will not be overheard and cause suspicion, and those gossip, which the gods and gods chatter, will only cause suspicion.
"Come in! This time it can! Murong Xi said with a smile.
"Yes!" The woman nodded.
When the woman was sent away, Murong Xi was meditating in the room, but Murong Sheng strode in at this time, and saw Murong Xi sitting there thoughtfully, Murong Xi said: "Uncle Xi, it seems that today's rain can't stop, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't seem to be in good health recently, if he is because of his body, I'm afraid he won't go to the Xinxing Hou Mansion, wouldn't we have fallen short, and the night is long and dreamy, Uncle:"
Murong Xi looked up at Murong Sheng and said, "What do you want to say?" ”
Murong Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Xi, even if you scold me, I still say the same thing, before dawn, let's drive out of the city!" ”
Murong Xi hesitated, he thought of Murong Wei and the others' attitudes towards his father and brother in the past, thought of Fu Jian, thought of Fu Bao, and thought of a lot.
In the end, Ding's somewhat sad face appeared in Murong Xi's mind over and over again, and Murong Xi suddenly felt that no matter what he did, he had no right to decide the life and death of others.
Ding, a poor woman, has an obligation to let her live.
Finally, under Murong Sheng's persistent and firm gaze, Murong Xi gritted his teeth and nodded, and said, "To be on the safe side, you and Uncle Rou escort the old lady and the ladies out of the city, and go to the place we agreed before, Liu Yiru will help you, and I will stay!" ”
Murong Sheng was puzzled and said: "Uncle, this time we are all dressed in robes when we go out of the city, and if we have the Heavenly King's order and arrows, the guards will not dare to check it, so that they will not know who we are, and they will not be involved with Xinxinghou, but? If Uncle Xi stays here, once something happens, you can't regret it! ”
Murong Xi didn't know why? He was very irritable, and he said angrily: "Go and prepare!" I've decided, that's all there is to me, and I don't have to worry about you! Murong Sheng rolled his eyes and asked, "Is it because of that princess!" ”
Murong Xi turned his head and ignored it, Murong Sheng stomped his feet and sighed: "Uncle, since ancient times, all the red faces have been in trouble, if my uncle doesn't listen to me, he will eventually be harmed by the woman!" ”
Murong Xi is a well-known bull, but he turned his head and stopped listening to him, Murong Sheng knew that it would be useless to persuade him again, so he said: "Uncle, you go back to the old lady, and ask Murong to inform the brothers and sisters, and I will go to say hello to my aunt!" ”
Murong Xi nodded and said no more? Now, he also needs to think about it carefully, think about the gains and losses of his decision, in fact, at this moment, he is also very nervous, Murong Xi has the courage to make a decision, but he is not a reckless person, he still has to think carefully about the consequences of things.
Although he left with hatred, Murong Sheng still disagrees with Murong Xi's decision, thinking that it was all caused by Fu Bao's demon girl, but Murong Sheng didn't know that at this moment, Murong Xi made such a decision, but Fu Bao was not the most critical person.
The old lady mentioned by Murong Sheng refers to Murong Chui's step-concubine Duan Yuan, who is only thirty years old, but she is the old lady in Murong Mansion, and the aunt refers to Murong Ling's widow Ding, Murong Sheng has no mother since he was a child, and even he himself doesn't know who his mother is, everyone says that his mother is dead, and even Murong Bao never mentions this matter.
Murong Xi was raised by the Ding family since he was a child, the Ding family regarded it as out, loved in every way, Murong Sheng is also the most filial piety, he has to ask the Ding family for peace every day, wind and rain, at this time, Murong Sheng came to the Ding family's residence in the backyard, and the girl Ziyun stepped forward and said softly: "Second son, is the lady asleep?" Haven't gotten up yet! ”
"Oh!" Murong Sheng agreed, and stood outside the door respectfully and waited, but Murong Sheng felt a little strange in his heart, because since the death of his uncle Murong Ling, the Ding family has almost carried this family, and he is the earliest to get up and sleep the latest, how can he not get up until now?
But Murong Sheng was young after all, so he didn't think much about it, and waited patiently.
After a while, Ding's lazy voice came from inside the house: "It's Sheng'er, let's enter the house!" Don't get wet! ”
"Yes!" Murong Sheng entered the house respectfully, Ding was already fully dressed, sat on the main seat, looked at Murong Sheng lovingly, and said, "Sheng'er is okay today!" ”
"Auntie, okay, Auntie, Sheng'er has a greeting for you!"
"What's polite? Get up, get up, Ziyun, show the second son tea! As soon as Ding raised his hand, there were thousands of styles.
Ziyun let out a "hey" and hurriedly went, but? Murong Sheng, who was strict with etiquette, still insisted on finishing the salute before standing up and then sitting down.
After a few words of greeting between the two sides, Murong Sheng also got up and sat down, but now he intuitively found that the Ding family seemed to look much better today than in the past.
Since Murong Sheng understood the difference between men and women, Ding's beauty has been deeply rooted in his heart, but in the past, Murong Sheng just thought that Ding was good-looking, because his facial features were very delicate and his dress was good, but he never had any ideas, after all, Ding was his aunt, just like his mother, and when Ding sat there, he gave him a feeling of looking up.
But today, Murong Sheng always felt that the Ding family looked very feminine, and that face, that look, made Murong Sheng only feel itchy in his throat, and he almost didn't dare to look at the Ding family.
Although he was not young, he had never experienced anything between men and women, and he did not know what that meant.
