Chapter 39 I have a thousand troops and horses to protect your life
(2nd Update)
Finally out of Jinling City, not far away, was found by the defenders on the city wall, the fifth and other people ran quickly into the woods, the city gate has been chased out of the cavalry, now there is no way to enter the sky, sooner or later to be caught up, when the time does not say to escape the Yangtze River, I am afraid that even the manor can not go, the fifth girl has to repeat the old tricks, let the brigade of people to attract the attention of the pursuers, a few people take advantage of the night and the woods, choose other roads.

After everyone went out of the city, they arrived in the west of the city, which was not far from the Yangtze River, and it was inevitable that their whereabouts would be exposed when they went to the manor again. There were many boats on the river, and at this time the fishermen and boatmen were asleep, and there were no lights, so the fifth and Song Jiao and other seven or eight people chose a rather large boat to get into, and when the boatmen did not wake up, they were eliminated one by one, and then steered the boat along the Qinhuai River to the west, heading towards the Yangtze River at full speed.
After crossing the Yangtze River, it is the junction of Luzhou and Yangzhou, and it is much easier to go ashore and then go north to reach Chuzhou, which is 100 miles away. But there are Wu national sailors on the Yangtze River, thousands of boats, lock the river and shake Huai, in the northwest of Jinling City is the stone city, according to legend, it is the place where Zhou Yu trained the sailors during the Three Kingdoms, the ship must turn off the lights to cross the river, and travel secretly.
Standing at the bow of the fifth boat, the river wind was strong and cold, blowing her green silk and red clothes. The ship entered the Yangtze River, and then it was necessary to deal with the warning ship of the Wu State Naval Division, which was a brilliant place with lights, and the building ship was like a city, like another Jinling City.
Su Hongsleeve took advantage of people's inattention to jump into the river, and was discovered by the people of the Military Intelligence Department in time, and the fifth girl came over and slapped her, "Sanniang took her life to keep you alive, and you repay her hard work like this?" ”
There are no lights on the boat at night, it is difficult to discern the direction, but fortunately, there is no need to worry about the reef in the river here, and you only need to cross to the north. galloping all the way, several military intelligence offices paddled until their arms were about to break, but they gritted their teeth and persevered, not daring to relax at all.
The boat crossed the center of the river, was not discovered by the Wu State Sailor, and it was basically complete in the future, but everyone did not have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and there was a commotion from the Wu State Sailor, and there, Zhou Zong rushed over with the Tsing Yi Yamen, and without saying a word, he ordered the sailor to cross the river and lean to the north bank.
Although Zhou Zong did not see the fifth ship, he knew that the Yangtze River must be blocked, especially to control the landing place on the north bank, so that no matter where the fifth is, he will not be able to cross the river, even if the fifth does not cross the river by boat at the moment, it will also eliminate the possibility of her crossing the river in the future.
The speed of Wu Guoshui's boat movement is not comparable to the fishing boat at the foot of the fifth, and the military intelligence department and others know that between life and death, they must not be caught up by the other party's boat, and they all desperately paddle hard to support the penny.
At this time, a line of fish belly white appeared in the eastern sky, and the sky gradually blue and then brightened.
......
Li Congjing has not many soldiers and horses available for deployment, as the main force of the guards and troops have gone to Yangzhou, the other department can not divide the troops in time to the west and can not divide the troops, if the Wu army is Shouchun, he wants to block the interception, he has to mobilize the gentlemen in his hands and surrender the army.
After a sleepless night, when the east was getting brighter, he went out of the study, asked Meng Songbai to bring a ladder, and he climbed onto the roof and sat down. I don't know if it's because of the influence of later generations, he is not used to thinking about problems in the room, and he can help him think when he climbs high and looks at the house.
Li Congjing was a little worried about the fifth girl, Jinling City is a tiger's den in Longtan, and the Tsing Yi Yamen is not easy to get along with, and with the emergence of many Jiangnan Junyan one after another, he is becoming more and more afraid to underestimate Jinling characters.
Meng Songbai stood motionless in front of the eaves, like a statue, after a long time, he glanced back at Li Congjing, and saw that the other party was like a stone statue, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "No matter how entangled the battle situation is, it is rare for His Highness to be so silent, if the fifth commander is here, it will definitely make His Highness happy." ”
Li Congjing was thinking about the gap, and when he heard Meng Songbai's muttering, he asked him what he was muttering.
Meng Songbai said disturbedly: "Before the Fifth Commander went south, he told the lowly position, if His Highness is too long silent and does not speak when he thinks about things, let the lowly position must think of something to make His Highness laugh - the Fifth Commander said that His Highness is too thoughtful, and it is not good for his body to be stuffy for a long time, so he must always slow down. ”
Meng Songbai looked ashamed, "I am humble and stupid, and I really can't fulfill the entrustment of the Fifth Commander." ”
Li Congjing was stunned.
The petite figure who was always bouncing like a rabbit came to mind, and she held a grape on Bagong Mountain, kept stuffing it into his mouth, and stuffed her cheeks bulging, smiling like moon buds, how idiotic and idiotic.
On weekdays, she is "pampered and arrogant", completely ignoring etiquette and law, always giggling and not doing a good job, and doing everything possible to jump up and down in front of Li Congjing, which makes Li Congjing sometimes have a headache. Li Congjing was reluctant to blame her, but he often wanted to let her restrain herself, after all, others saw that it was a little unorthodox.
But I never thought that the fifth girl would be so attentive.
Li Congjing remembered that when he first became the king of Qin, the fifth seemed to be a lot more restrained in words and deeds, the whole person was quiet and polite, and his actions were all in line with etiquette, and then he didn't know when he became more serious, and now he thinks back to the little girl who doesn't know the height of the sky, it should be from the beginning of his expedition to Liangchuan - at that time, a strand of white hair grew on his head.
It's not that no one sued the fifth girl in front of Li Congjing, saying that she was too naughty, but the fifth girl has never been willing to take these remarks seriously, and has always ignored the slander of others. Looking at it now, the fifth is really not pampered and arrogant, but she can't bear to let the highness in her heart have another strand of gray hair, so she is not even afraid of her own courtiers.
Commanding the military intelligence department in countless affairs, it is already hard, fighting countless battles with the enemy, and sometimes fighting in person, but in front of Li Congjing, she can always show a bright smile and be naughty, how much will does this take?
Isn't she tired?
Li Congjing jumped off the roof.
......
Before the ship could dock, two walkers spotted them and chased after them.
The sky is clear, and everything on the river can be seen clearly. The fifth stood at the bow of the ship and watched intently at the movement on the shore. During these days in Jinling, she had very little time to rest every day, and in addition to arranging the huge operations of the military intelligence department, she also had to select all kinds of information, so she was very tired.
After a night of sleeplessness, Li Min's sleepiness rushed straight to her brain, like a sharp arrow piercing her little head, a burst of pain, a little boredom in her heart, and even her stomach with undigested food for a long time also cramped, she covered her chest with abnormal pulsations, frowning slightly. Soon she removed her little hand, and she had to maintain an indestructible image in front of her subordinates in order to make her mind stable.
There were two soft swishing sounds, and the sharp arrow flew in, grazing her sideburns and flying out, landing on the surface of the river, and the fifth stretched out his hand to wipe the pinna, and there was a particularly striking blood stain on his pale finger.
"Commander, fast forward cabin!"
There were shouts from the Wu army behind the boat, telling them to stop the ship for inspection, but no one in the MI paid attention, and when the fifth bend entered the cabin, a sharp soldier was shot in the vest and fell into the river from the stern.
A cloud of blood stained the turquoise surface of the river.
The fifth squatted around and looked at everyone, and her pale face set off the sharpness of her gaze, "Your whereabouts are exposed, the thieves have been chased, and we will inevitably be hunted down and killed after we go ashore, and it is not impossible to get separated, I only have one order: be sure to send the information to His Highness!" ”
The boat docked, everyone abandoned the ship and fled, Su Hongsleeve did not show his temperament at this time, and gritted his teeth and followed silently. There was no Wu army on the shore to intercept it, which was expected, and the Wu army's naval division had not yet docked.
After the fifth group of people rushed ashore, Wu Jun walked and fought ships docked one after another, and groups of Wu Jun sergeants followed and chased out. On a building boat, Zhou Zong looked at the back of the fifth class of people running away with a low face, and when the building boat docked, he took more than ten horses out of the cabin and got off the boat, and galloped fast.
The direction in which the fifth-class people fled was not a random choice. As a sharp soldier of the Military Intelligence Department, the route of retreating from Jinling to the north of the Jiangjiang River was planned before she arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, and several plans were drawn up, and it was basically possible that Paul would have it, and on these routes, he would send people to set up corresponding bases to meet - now that Jiangbei is in wartime, the troops are in chaos, and it is not difficult for the Military Intelligence Department to set up a receiving base in the enemy's territory.
Since it is the first receiving stronghold after crossing the river, it is naturally not far from the Yangtze River, in fact, it is near a fishing village, and the stronghold is equipped with horses, which can be ridden by the fifth class of people - being pursued by the cavalry of the Wu army, if there are no horses, it will be a death.
Find the receiving stronghold outside the fishing village, the fifth girl asked people to bring horses, there are more than a dozen military intelligence department sharps, after the convergence, the combat power has increased slightly, and it is rare that Su Hongsleeve can also ride a horse, which saves a lot of trouble, and a group of fifteen or sixteen rode out of the stronghold, and galloped to the official road.
The Wu army has already caught up, one hundred and ten foot soldiers, distributed everywhere, blocking the road to Shangguan Road, and the cavalry led by Zhou Zong has also exceeded more than ten to reach dozens, and there are dense Wu soldiers chasing after them, the number of people is so large that you don't have to care about the specific number, it is definitely a death to be caught up.
The fifth-class people rushed to kill on horseback, after a half-ring battle, they killed a bloody road, and finally stepped on the official road, they had already lost four sharp soldiers, and there were still wounded, Zhou Zong led the elite cavalry and Tsing Yi Yamen to chase closely.
The horses of the military intelligence department are good horses, and the horses of the Tsing Yi Yamen are not weak, and the fifth class of people galloped for a long time, but they failed to get rid of it, but the number of people is constantly decreasing.
"Shoot the lead!" Zhou Zong drank heavily.
I don't know how long I ran, in a bend, a sharp arrow broke through the air and hit the left shoulder of the fifth, her already tired petite body shook heavily on the horse's back, almost fell off the horse, biting the tip of the tongue, the fifth regained his body, Su Hongsleeve looked sideways, and saw a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of the fifth mouth, for some reason, he was suspected of being a flying leader, but at this moment, the leader with a tenacious expression containing divine meaning, Su Hongsleeve's resistance in his heart unconsciously dissipated.
The arrow on the left shoulder was not removed, and as the fifth's body rose and fell, the red blood soaked her shoulder, which was not obvious under her red dress, but the dark traces that continued to spread, even Su Hong's sleeves could be seen clearly.
Su Hongsleeve looked at the silent and tough side face, a little unable to understand the sacred meaning in the other party's eyes, although the desire to escape is strong, but it will definitely not let people have this kind of look, the other party's obsidian-like eyes are always staring ahead, like a pilgrimage Buddhist, as if the front is the figure of Shakyamuni.
Su Hongsleeve thought to himself, maybe this cold-looking leader with bloody hands had a place in his heart that was as clean as the Pure Land of Bliss.
"Commander!" Song Jiao saw that the fifth body shook again, her heart was like a knife, there were only seven or eight people left in the military intelligence department beside her, and there were still seventy or eighty miles from here to Chuzhou.
Another arrow flew and struck the fifth's horse, which was frightened and pulled the fifth off his horse.
"Fifth Commander!" Everyone was shocked and reined in the horse, Song Jiao didn't wait for the horse to stop, she rolled off the horse, and hurriedly went to help the fifth girl who grabbed her left shoulder and gritted her teeth to get up.
There is a dilapidated village on the side of the road, there are no residents, Song Jiao helped the fifth girl into the village, this is the second contact point of the military intelligence department on this route, after the military intelligence department on the official road was killed in battle, the military intelligence office in the village rushed out and helped the fifth into an earthen wall courtyard.
Zhou Zong led the hundred and ten Tsing Yi Yamen and the Wu army to kill in, surrounded the courtyard and began to attack without saying a word, the military intelligence department in the stronghold had bows and crossbows, and shot a few Wu troops, but failed to stop the other party's crazy attack.
The fifth leaned in front of the door, her face was pale, the blood on her left shoulder flowed down her arm, dripping on the dirt, shocking, she trembled and took out a letterhead and handed it to Song Jiao, who was like a broken thread in tears, "I can't leave anymore, you break through and hand over the information to Your Highness!" ”
Song Jiao shook her head desperately, "Don't leave!" ”
The military intelligence department next to him and the Wu army were fighting to the death, and the courtyard wall and courtyard gate were no taller than a person's head, and the two sides were inseparable.
The fifth gritted his teeth and grabbed Song Jiao's collar, "When is this, you still dare to delay the hour, the information can't be delivered to His Royal Highness, you and I will die unforgivingly, this is a military order, you must go!" ”
Song Jiao picked up the information, hesitated, the fifth look could not be refused, she knew that the stakes were high, even if she was unwilling, she was really helpless, so she had to get up.
The fifth drew out the short blade, stood up strongly, and said to Song Jiao: "Tell Your Highness that the fifth can fight for him, and I have no regrets in this life!" After a pause, an indescribable sadness flashed in her eyes, like a flowing cloud that was about to dissipate in the sky, which was like two extremes of her usual hip-hop, and her voice was also low, with a little sadness, "It's a pity that I can't see His Highness reigning in the world with my own eyes, if there is an afterlife, let me have a good life to see His Highness's country......"
"You two, escort her away!" The fifth retracted his expression, clenched his double blades, and walked towards the courtyard gate.
Song Jiao, under the escort of two military intelligence officers, came out of the wall, there were horses outside the wall, and with her skills, it was not impossible to get on the horses and go.
The fifth girl walked to the courtyard gate step by step, the blood flowing from her left hand dripped all the way, she once said that in this life, as his warrior, she would go with him to conquer the world, and experience victory and defeat together, and now her road is here, she will never lose the dignity of a warrior at the last moment, not lose the dignity of her warrior, that is, not lose his dignity.
Su Hongsleeve followed behind the fifth side, although his head was lowered, his steps were firm.
"You can't complete Sanniang's entrustment and let you live a good life, do you blame me?" Fifth question.
Su Hongsleeve showed a sad smile, still thrillingly beautiful, "Although the concubine doesn't like you, the concubine does admire you very much, life and death are no different from concubines, and it is not annoying to be able to die with the fifth commander." ”
The fifth girl smiled, then her eyes sank, and she took a heavy step under her feet, and bowed down to kill the enemy at the courtyard gate.
But at this moment, Song Jiao went and returned.
After Wu Jun in front of her was killed by Song Jiao's horizontal stab, the fifth girl was furious, "What are you doing when you come back?" ”
Song Jiao's face blurred by tears was full of smiles, like lotus flowers blooming by the pool, "They're here!" ”
The fifth girl was stunned, "Who's coming?" ”
There is no need for Song Jiao to answer again, because the ironclad elite cavalry that crisscrosses the north and south has already been killed in front of him, and the soldiers of the Wu army and the Tsing Yi Yamen who have just besieged the courtyard like wolves and tigers are as vulnerable as children in front of this ironclad elite cavalry, and as soon as the other party appears, they will be killed.
The person in front of him, with a long lance and a white horse, black armor and black robes, was arrogant and domineering.
The fifth girl was stunned in front of the courtyard gate, looking at the man in a daze, and a strand of white hair fluttered in her clear eyes.
Li Congjing rode his horse to kill through the Wu army, and restrained the war horse in front of the fifth girl, and the white horse man stood up and neighed.
She was still dressed in bright red clothes, petite figure, and her eyes stared at him.
Previously, Li Congjing jumped down from the roof, that is, let Meng Songbai order the gentlemen to assemble, Meng Songbai was puzzled, Li Congjing did not explain much, but said undoubtedly: "I feel it, she is back, I want to pick her up." ”
Li Congjing dismounted and walked quickly to the fifth girl, and when he saw the arrow wound on the fifth shoulder, his brows furrowed.
Fifth, he took the information from Song Jiao's hand and handed it to Li Congjing, "Report to Your Highness, the detailed information of Wu's army and Jianghuai is all here." ”
Going out of the city, seizing the boat, crossing the river, running north, all the way to the hardships, surviving in the dead, is just the most common sentence.
Li Congjing didn't look at the information, he reached out and stroked the fifth face, his eyes were as soft as a spring breeze, "It's okay if you're fine." ”
......
The gentlemen all slaughtered the Wu army and the Tsing Yi Yamen brought by Zhou Zong, and the embarrassed Zhou Zong was unwilling in his heart, but he could only retreat on the horse in the chaos of the army, and the gentlemen were in hot pursuit, along the original road of Zhou Zong's pursuit of the fifth girl, and chased Zhou Zong back, along the way he met many Wu troops from the north, all of whom were mercilessly killed in front of the horse by the gentlemen who were strictly ordered by Li Congjing, because Jiangbei was a battlefield relationship, and there were many Wu soldiers who should support Zhou Zong, and they were killed all the way south by the gentlemen, and the corpses were all over the field.
The gentlemen chased to the river bank, and the Wu army sailors gathered on the river bank were hit by the pond fish, and the gentlemen were killed back and forth, and countless Wu soldiers rushed to throw themselves into the water, such as ghosts, and the sailors hurriedly galloped away from the river bank and retreated to the south of the Yangtze River after receiving Zhou Zong, who was not lightly injured.
Shi Yanchao immediately went to the riverside, pointed directly at Wu Jun, and shouted: "Go back and tell your master that Jiangbei is already the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and if you dare to take a step again, you will be sure that the bones of the corpse will not exist!" ”
