Chapter 41: Unharmed
According to the tradition of the Chu people from generation to generation, Da Ao's bravery is not as good as others, which is the shame of Da Ao; The bravery of the guards is not as good as Da Ao, and that is the shame of the guards. If you die in battle, but you survive the battlefield safely, it will be a shame for your life. The personal guards swore to defend Da Ao to the death, and Da Ao swore to defend the tribe to the death, this is the extremely simple truth of the Chu people.
The knights were dressed in iron armor and armed with spears, and several of their spears were aimed at Xiong Jing from a distance. The Knights of the Guard, though not once again forming a wall of horsemen, kept approaching the Bearhorn in order to share the attack he was about to suffer. Some of the knights who were difficult to approach ignored the oncoming cavalry, abandoned their swords and bows, and fired furiously at the cavalry in front of Xiongjing.
The reason why the domain rider is a domain rider is because of his skillful riding skills and iron armor. Although the heavy arrows of the Chu army were sharp, they did no harm to these armored cavalry. Ten steps away from the galloping war horse in less than a second, Xiong Jing's words did not fall, and the two riding spears on the left and right stabbed fiercely.
The left shield and the right sword, being able to use a weapon with both hands is the minimum requirement for a knight. The shield blocked the sword and the spears were all blocked, but the strength of the left hand was not as strong as the right hand after all, even if it was the right hand, such a block made the tiger's mouth crack. The shield in his left hand was pierced by the 'bang' of the spear, and the round shield flew away as the cavalry rushed forward.
The front row of domain riders roared past, which gave the rear row of domain riders hope. Rushing through the interval of more than twenty paces, this time it was three riding spears that stabbed at each other, unstoppable. At this moment, Xiong Jing didn't have time to think about what to be afraid of, and he didn't have time to think about how to fight, he could only rely on his body's memory to throw the saber in his hand at the middle knight, and quickly pulled out the sword on his horse and slashed at the spear on the right. There was no shield on his left side, so he could only use his arm as a shield to block the tip of the spear that was immediately pierced.
I couldn't hear anything clearly in the high-speed gallop, and even my vision had some afterimages. The sword on the right side slashed down, and the spear was broken, and the spear was too hard, and after a stab missed, the body was inevitably stumbling. If there is no threat from the left, even if the speed is too fast, Xiong Jing can drag a sword on the neck, waist or thigh of the weakly protected cavalry after the wrong body, but the left side of the spear stabs, although the arm of the block has a huge armor, and there is also chain mail under the huge armor, after the attack, it is still a sharp pain that penetrates deep into the bone marrow.
The severe pain twitches the nerves and stops thinking and breathing. At this moment, the huge sword that he threw with all his strength broke through the iron armor, and the cavalry who rushed in the middle let out a miserable scream. The spear he was holding began to weaken, and he subconsciously raised it upward. 'Bang-', the already weak spear stabbed Xiong Thorn's left shoulder with the momentum of the forward charge, and he was knocked off his horse.
"Da Ao!" Zhuang Qu on his side glared, he shouted, and with a sword, he split the iron armor of the horseman, jumped and dismounted.
"Hugh ......" Lu Yangyan, who was holding the flag, instantly forgot to block, and a riding spear stabbed at him. Even if it didn't penetrate the armor, he was knocked off his horse, and the phoenix flag fluttering in the wind fell.
The two of them got closer, and the rest of the knights who passed through the second domain cavalry quickly turned around, centering on the phoenix banner, surrounding this small area to prevent Qin cavalry from rushing in.
"Great goodness!" At a distance of four or five hundred paces, Yu Fen saw King Jing's spear and fell off his horse. He shouted 'attack' to the Qin cavalry behind him, and led them quickly to the place where King Jing had fallen from his horse. Maybe King Jing is invincible on the horse, but after falling off the horse, he will either die or be injured, and Wei Qi will no longer gallop and spin in place, this is his chance.
"Attack!" Hundreds of Qin cavalry cavalry shouted, 'Kill King Jing, worship the marquis, and divide ten thousand households', they have been waiting for this day for a long time.
"It's all over the world! Advance ——! The Yang Yu, who was closest to the Feng Qi, clearly saw that Xiong Jing was knocked down from his war horse, and the Feng Qi fluttering in the wind fell to the ground, and he also saw the national thief Yu Fen pounce on him with all the Qin cavalry around him, he couldn't hold back anymore and ordered the whole division to move forward.
"It's all over the world! Jin ...... "is not a division, all the divisions and brigades that saw this scene no longer guarded the array, and no longer followed the military order sent by the shogunate strategists to 'not break the formation', and rushed directly to the position where Fengqi fell. The spear array of the hedgehog group suddenly dispersed, and the spearmen ran on the field with their comrades in front of them, and the cavalry seemed to have been given a golden opportunity.
Everyone knows that this is a ploy of the national thief, but so what? The fire-worshipping Chu people themselves are a blazing flame. For a fire, it is a matter of time before it is extinguished, and their greatest fear is that it will be obscure when it burns, and that their life will not be as unrestrained and dazzling as a flame. If it is extinguished, it will be extinguished, but before it is extinguished, the Qin people must pay a sufficient price.
On the field, Concubine Jing, who hurriedly returned to help, didn't see Xiong Jing being knocked down by the Qin people, he only saw that the foot soldiers who had formed a formation to protect themselves suddenly rushed out frantically regardless of the array, and his heart was tight, and he accelerated again. The strategists of the southern shogunate also did not see Xiong Jing being knocked off their horses, and after they saw that the phoenix flag was gone, the Chu army array, which had not moved, suddenly galloped.
"Such as, how to ......" Zhuang Wudi saw E Cao put down Lu Lijing and sighed, and asked in a panic.
E Cao didn't answer, and Peng Zong on the side sighed: "The battle is over!" ”
"Huh?!" Zhuang Wudi sat on the ground, the expression on his face was anxious, resentful and remorseful, and his eyes were completely dull. Breaking up the army formation in front of Qin Qi, isn't this a death? Is the Chu army really going to be wiped out here? After this battle, the state of Chu is really going to die, can't it even avoid Penglai......
Thinking of the consequences of defeat, Zhuang Wudi was cold. He is not afraid of death, he is only afraid that there is no hope, he is afraid that the Chu country and the Chu people will not have the slightest hope.
"Ao Hou..." he thought of someone, and his thoughts became clearer and clearer in the panic and chaos. Ao Hou and the eldest son quickly leave Ying! ”
When he said a word, he nodded to himself and said loudly: "Empress Ao and the eldest son should leave Ying!" ”
"Yes!" Peng Zong did not hesitate, and E Cao also nodded heavily when he heard this.
"Someone! Tell Yingdu, Da Ao ordered Empress Ao and the eldest son to leave Yingdu quickly! "Zhuang Wudi did not summon the news in the name of the shogunate, but in the name of Xiongjing. The monsoon has already turned, and it will only take a few days to go to Penglai by gluttonous sea boat. Even if the Ao order is falsely transmitted, it is necessary to keep the last hope of the Chu people.
The order was given like this, and the flying officer wrote it down and hurried out, and Shentong, who was on the nest car and looked north, pointed to the north and shouted, "Fengqi! The phoenix flag stands, the phoenix flag stands also!! ”
The three-headed phoenix flag fluttered again in the spring breeze, and after a round of fighting, its owner also mounted his horse with the support of the guard knights. The Chu soldiers who rushed to the place where the phoenix banner fell in the column were overjoyed and cried with joy when they saw this, the worst result did not happen, and Da Ao was safe and sound!
Chu was excited, and he was gloomy on the side. After all, he was a cavalryman and did not know how to fight on foot. He thought that the spear array of the Chu army would disperse when it moved like the Qin army, but the spear array of the Chu army was completely composed of columns, and even if it was running in the mountains, the spear array could remain in order. Except for some injured and stragged Chu pawns who were intercepted and killed, their own side did not take advantage of the spear formation that was running.
"Jing people!" The left and right points to the scene that is getting closer and closer, suggesting that Yu Fen should retreat. Xiong Jing, who had just mounted his horse, saw that the Qin army that had broken in the north was already lined up, and the pillar spear was guarding the Chu cavalry that was rushing in a hurry. When Chu rode by, they turned around and headed north.
"The Qin people retreated." Zhuang went to the fast road. Not only did the Qin army continue to retreat, but the Qin cavalry around them also rumbled and retreated. Including which domain riders, they bypassed the spear array around the phoenix banner, and the tide generally receded.
"Good!" Although he failed to kill Yu Fen, Fei Jing returned in time to help, forcing the southbound Qin army to retreat north again. His shoulders and left arm hurt from eating, and the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably, but thinking that it was the carelessness of the generals of the divisions that caused such losses, Xiong Jing still couldn't help but be angry. Now that the Qin army has reorganized the array, it will not be so easy to annihilate in the pursuit.
"The minister is guilty, please give Da Ao the guilt!" As soon as Deng Sui ran over, he pleaded guilty. As the general of the Yingshi, he remembered Xiong Jing's previous military order when he saw Qin Qi rushing over.
"The minister is also guilty." Deng Sui was not the only one who knelt down to ask for guilt, but the chief and chief of the foot soldiers also felt that they were guilty. The Chu people are easy to be proud, the Qin army was defeated by themselves, and then fled in the wilderness, if they don't chase after it, can they let the Qin people escape? As a result, chasing and chasing is a tragedy. However, what was even more guilty was Xiang Chao and Concubine Jing, who did not stop the Qin army cavalry and ignored the army's orders.
Xiong Jing's gaze swept towards the rushing concubine. Fei Jing knew that he was guilty, and after jumping off the horse, he also knelt on the ground like Deng Sui and others, and shouted: "The minister is insulting to the mission, please Da Ao punish the crime." ”
"Where is Xiang and Xiang Chao?" Fei Jing pleaded guilty, and Xiong Jing naturally remembered Xiang Chao.
"Yu Da Ao," Ling Qi, who knelt down with Concubine Jing, shouted boldly, and then bowed his head and was silent.
"Words." Xiong Jing coughed, and felt more pain in his shoulder and left arm.
"Xiang Hou Xuye!" As soon as Ling Qi said a word, the audience was stunned. Xiong Jing ignored the severe pain in the injury and shouted, "What is it?!" ”
"King Yu, Xiang, Xianghou, Xu... Pickled also. "The hairs on the horse's body stand on end. When he searched for Xiang Chao in the north, he happened to see Ling Cai being shot by the Qin people one after another, and Xiang Chao was also shot by the Qin people, and fell to the ground with an arrow feather.
"Philip! Letter!! Xiong Jing shook his head again and again, he didn't believe that Xiang Chao would die.
Ling Qi was still stammering, and Fei Jing pounced on him and grabbed him, "Did you see it with your own eyes?" Did you see it with your own eyes?! ”
"I, I'm ......" made the horse stammer even more, and he wanted to explain but was too anxious to explain.
"Please Da Ao Zhuanchen immediately search north." Fu Jing threw down the order and bowed to Xiong Jing for his life. "If you don't see it with your own eyes, you ......"
"Accurate!" Xiong Jing immediately agreed, but his answer was very weak. Ling Qi's expression didn't want to be fake, Xiang Chao might really be dead.
Xiang Yan died, Xiang Chao died again, and both father and son died on the battlefield. Thinking of this, Xiong Jing felt a little stuffy in his chest, and the noon sun was also blurred at this time. He raised his head to look at the sun hanging in the middle of the sky, and when he wondered why the whole sky was the sun, his body shook a few times, and he fell down from the second body of disobedience.
