Chapter Seventy-Eight: Captured Alive
Zhou Yafu is too familiar with this outfit, and since the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, the Yun family has cultivated a group of cavalry that makes the generals blush. Only the Yun family has the financial resources to support such a cavalry. Even the Huns, who could ride and shoot well, could not please them under their men.
"General, let's go quickly."
A dozen lieutenants rushed forward brandishing their swords, they did not complete their mission. The goshawk killed them with only one volley, and each of them was hit by five or six arrows. The powerful kinetic energy generated by the compound bow ruthlessly penetrated their armor. Long clusters of arrows pierced their bodies, and the captains' bodies quickly lost their strength, and they no longer had the strength to control the horses under their crotches. They fell into the silvery white snow, stirring up clouds of snow mist.
"General, let's go quickly."
More lieutenants rushed towards the goshawk, and this time they managed to stop the goshawk for a while. In fact, in just one turn, a long lance pierced their bodies and stabbed them off their horses. It's a pity that the long sword they wield in their hands has not yet touched the armor of the villagers.
Wave after wave of his subordinates rushed up to die, just for their own lives. Zhou Yafu's eyes were red like a wolf that had been provoked, and he tightly tightened the reins of the horse. Slowly turning the horse's body around, facing the goshawk catching up.
"General, you ......"
"I'm Zhou Yafu, and I'm a general. I can be killed by a sword, but I can't be killed like a rabbit. In this world, there are only great generals who die standing and dying, and there is no Zhou Yafu who lives on his knees. You're all good guys. It's my brother Zhou Yafu. Follow me and make one last charge. Let our blood shine in one last splendour. ”
Zhou Yafu said, it doesn't matter what the formation is. Rushed to the goshawk's team first, and the formation was no longer important at this time. It doesn't even matter if he can kill the enemy or not, he is actually going to die. He longed for the arrows to go through his chest, the spears to lift him off his horse.
In the end, dozens of lieutenants who followed Zhou Yafu waved the long swords in their hands, and followed Zhou Yafu for the last charge. Their purpose is very simple, follow the general wherever he goes, and go wherever he goes. After following them all their lives, they are used to it, even if there is an abyss ahead, they are willing to jump down with the general.
The two armies staggered, and Zhou Yafu's sword slashed heavily into the chest of a villager warrior. Knock this villager off the horse. It was his reluctant choice. The protection of the Yun family's armor is too good. Each piece of iron armor is waxed, as long as the angle of penetration is slightly off. The sword will be sliced open, but it is still slashed in comparison.
The goshawk saw Zhou Yafu at a glance, and the goshawk opened his bow and arrows while running. An arrow hit Zhou Yafu's right shoulder blade.
Zhou Yafu snorted. I feel distressed when my right arm is drilled. The long sword in his hand was as heavy as a burden. Zhou Yafu gritted his teeth. He handed his sword to his left hand and continued to fight.
The goshawk looked striking, and at this time, Zhou Yafu had already rushed behind him. The goshawk pulled out a wolf's tooth arrow, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and turned around to look at the moon. The wolf's tooth arrow shot Zhou Yafu into the left shoulder. "Poof" a long cluster of arrows drilled in from behind the left shoulder and out from the front. actually shot Zhou Yafu's shoulder in pairs.
Zhou Yafu was in pain and couldn't hold the long sword in his hand. At this time, a villager who came up turned his spear upside down, and hit Zhou Yafu in the chest with a round horizontally. They all received orders from the goshawks, and Zhou Yafu had to catch them alive no matter what.
This gun pulled Zhou Yafu into a mess of Venus in front of him, his chest tightened for a while, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out as soon as he opened his mouth. The body is limp and planted under the horse.
The goshawk was in a hurry, for fear of beating Zhou Yafu to death. Hurriedly turned the horse's head and rushed to the place where Zhou Yafu fell off the horse. And the captains around Zhou Yafu were obviously more anxious, and they all pulled the reins of their horses. But their horses did not have stirrups, and some of them fell. Some stood still, but the strong inertia threw the knight out of the horse.
But as long as they can stand up, they all run in the direction of Zhou Yafu on foot. Those who couldn't stand up crawled in the snow in the direction of Zhou Yafu.
The Yun family's Xiang Yong drew out a bright saber, and a puff of blood flew up and fell to the ground. Against those who crawl on the ground, it is the Pegasus that steps on them. Hou Ye said, it's just that Zhou Yafu wants to live, and let them die on the battlefield for the rest. Even if he catches them back, it will be a death, and Liu Qi will not have half a mercy on them.
Swords and horses trampled, and there was no living person in the snow. The world was finally quiet, and the Yun family's Xiangyong let these people die like warriors.
The goshawk came to Zhou Yafu and pulled Zhou Yafu with a riding gun. Well, you can still gasp. As long as you don't die, then you can be considered to have completed the task. As for how much he was injured, whether he could recover or not was not within his own consideration.
The two villagers found a horse and dragged Zhou Yafu up and put him on the horse.
In front of the moat under Chang'an City, there were many officers and soldiers of the Xiliu Battalion. Most of them were ordinary soldiers and junior officers, who had little interest in rebellion in the first place. It's just that Zhou Yafu blindly obeyed orders under the rigorous style of governing the army.
Yun Xiao looked at these soldiers kneeling below, and he also scratched his head. If they were handed over to Liu Qi, it would be almost certain that their heads would fall to the ground. Dealing with the rebels, Liu Qi did not have any room for negotiation. But if it is not handed over to Liu Qi, Yun Xiao has no good way to prevaricate. After all, so many pairs of eyes are watching, if you let them go. Then Liu Qi will definitely not let himself go, this old guy wants to go crazy if he wants to fix himself.
Zhang Tang saw Yun Xiao's appearance, and guessed seven seven eight eight after pondering in his heart. As soon as his eyes rolled to his heart, he smiled and approached Yun Xiao and said, "Whether the general is worried about these pawns, the villain has a way to deal with them." ”
"Oh, tell me about it."
Yun Xiao wondered what this guy's idea would be.
"General, according to the military discipline of the Great Han. Enemy prisoners wounded on the battlefield could be abandoned on the spot, in part because the wounded slowed down the march. The second is that these people are even more cruel to fend for themselves.
The soldiers of the two battalions of Xiliu dominated, and most of their homes were in Chang'an and Xianyang. We can break one of their legs so they can be considered wounded prisoners anyway. Then we sent their families to inform them and bring them back. This is also considered the kindness of the general, which saves their lives. and the benevolence of the great general, isn't it the best of both worlds? (To be continued......)
