Chapter 387: The Battle of Yanling (6)
It turned out that the day before the war, when the king of Chu Gong and Zizhong were patrolling the camp, they suddenly heard many people cheering not far away. The two walked over and squeezed into the crowd to take a look, and it turned out that Yang Youji and Pan Dang were testing their archery. The arrows fired by both of them pierced through the heavy armor made of seven layers of cowhide hanging in the distance; This kind of armor was only worn by the monarch and the prince, and ordinary soldiers were not eligible to possess it at all.
When the soldiers saw the arrival of the king of Chu, they happily showed him the leather armor: "The king has such a warrior, why can't he be defeated?" ”
The king of Chu Gong was furious, he took the quiver of Yang Youji and Pan Dang and handed it to Peng Ming beside him, and said: "You are so eye-catching! You can't bring arrows to fight tomorrow, I don't want you two to die on this! With that, he turned around and left angrily.
The sergeants looked at each other, not understanding why the king was angry. Before leaving, Zizhong patted his adoptive uncle on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The king is really well-intentioned, he doesn't want you to be carried away by praise, and he doesn't want you to risk your life to shoot the monarchs and doctors of the Jin Kingdom." ”
After being summoned, Yang Youji galloped in front of the Gong King, and the Gong King of Chu handed him two arrows and said, "Go and get back the life of the old thief Wei Qi!" ”
Uncle Yang chased down the direction of Wei Kuang's escape, he saw Wei Kuang's banner and chariot from a distance, and shouted: "Hey! You! How dare you hurt the king of our country! ”
Wei Jian turned his head, and when he saw that it was his adoptive uncle who was chasing him, he closed his eyes. Uncle Yang raised his hand and shot an arrow through Wei Qian's neck, and he fell on the quiver and died.
It turned out that Wei Qian had a demon dream yesterday, and he dreamed that he had shot through the moon but retreated into the quagmire. Bu Guan interprets the dream and says: "Ji's surname is the sun (Wei Jian is the descendant of Bigong Ji Gao), Mi's surname is the moon, and the quagmire is death; You will shoot and wound Chu Jun, but you will also be killed. Wei Jian said: "If you can really hurt Chu Jun, die!" ”
When he saw the King of Chu, he remembered last night's demon dream, so he hesitated, but immediately made up his mind to kill the enemy with his life. The omen of the demon dream was fulfilled. Perhaps Wei Jian thought that it was a great honor to die in the hands of the first divine archer of the Chu State, so he did not make the slightest resistance.
Uncle Yang returned the remaining arrow to the king of Chu Gong, and the king of Chu said, "See! If you carry an arrow, you will be killed by the Jin people like Wei Qi! ”
At this time, Hao Zhi's chariot galloped by not far away, and when he saw the king of Chu, he immediately jumped out of the chariot, took off his helmet and saluted the king of Chu, passed by the wind, and then jumped on the chariot to continue the battle. This is the etiquette of meeting the monarch of the enemy country on the battlefield, and it is the third time that Hao Zhi has done so.
The king of the Chu Communist Party ordered Yin Xiang to hold the talisman in his hand and bring a bow as a gift to comfort Yin Zhi: "When the battle was raging just now, the widow said that he saw a gentleman wearing red and yellow armor, as long as he saw the widow, he would avoid the wind, so he sent me to ask: He is not injured, right?" ”
He Zhi took off his helmet and replied, "Chu Jun's foreign minister, Yin Zhi, followed the widow to the battlefield. The foreign minister was not injured, and he did not dare to insult Chu Jun's condescending greetings. I can't be dressed in a body, so I have to worship the king. After saying that, he bowed, folded his hands, palms downward, bowed, and continued to fight after accepting the bow.
Luan Lian saw Ling Yin Zizhong's banner waving in the wind from a distance, he seemed to think of something, turned his head and said to Jin Ligong: "That military flag is Chu Ling Yin Yingqi's." When the minister followed Yin Zhi to envoy to the Chu State, Ying Qi once asked me about the way of governing the army of the Jin State, and the minister replied: 'Good to the whole people', and then asked, and the minister replied: 'Good time'. Now that the two countries are fighting each other, the envoys are not in communication, and they cannot be called 'whole'; and when they break their promises in the face of war, they cannot be called 'time'. Please send an envoy to toast Ling Yin on behalf of the minister. ”
The Duke of Jin Li then sent an envoy to Zizhong with a talisman and a wine vessel, and the envoy said: "Luan Lian greeted Ling Yin and said, 'Because the widow has no satisfactory sergeant, he has to let me act as the right man of the chariot, so he can't personally treat the sergeant. Therefore, Luan sent a toast to Ling Yin on his behalf. ”
Zizhong drank it all and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the master's attempt to fulfill what he said in the Chu State!" Please tell the Master, you still remember these words! Zizhong sent the messenger away and continued to beat the drum.
Han Ju's chariot inadvertently met Zheng Chenggong, and Yu Rong said: "Uncle Zheng is right in front of you!" Uncle Zheng's Yu Rong has repeatedly turned back, and his intentions are not attentive, we can catch him if we chase him! ”
Han Ju said: "I have already disgraced the Marquis of Qi in the Battle of Saddle, and I can't make the same mistake again. After speaking, he ordered Yu Rong to turn the head of the car to avoid Zheng Chenggong.
Zheng Chenggong had just escaped, but he met Yin Zhi again. The right side of the car said: "Please send light soldiers to intercept from the trail, I can catch up and capture Uncle Zheng!" He Zhi said: "It is a felony to hurt the king. After saying that, he turned around and left.
Zheng Chenggong escaped the second catastrophe, and later "successfully" escaped the third catastrophe (perhaps that's how his nickname came from).
Truth be told, no monarch has ever been able to survive so many calamities in such a short period of time and still be able to save the day. But due to excessive fright, Zheng Chenggong felt that his heart was about to break, and he really couldn't continue to fight.
Zheng Chenggong's Imperial Rong Shishou parked his chariot in a hidden place and said, "The Zheng army has been defeated, and the monarch will not always be lucky." At that time, Wei Yigong was unwilling to put away the monarch's flag, so he was defeated and died in Yingze. With that, Shi Shou took off the monarch flag and folded it neatly and put it in his arms.
Che You Tang Gou said to Shi Shou: "The defeated army must protect the monarch wholeheartedly, you are by the monarch's side!" Immediately protect the monarch and flee. I'm not as alert as you, so I'm here to intercept the enemy. After saying that, he jumped out of the chariot.
Shi Shou carried Zheng Chenggong to the barracks, while Tang Gou led the guards to meet the enemy; The heroes of Zheng Guo bought precious time for Zheng Chenggong's escape, but they all died in battle.
The blood gushing from the wound of the King of Chu Gong had already flowed to the surface of his feet, and the great pain made it impossible for him to issue orders again. Zianti thought that he could not continue the battle, so he ordered the whole army to shrink and gather into a dense phalanx and slowly retreat.
After Yoyuki led a force of archers to take charge of the palace, they were gradually forced to a dangerous place by the enemy. Che Youshu Shan Ran handed him a bag of sharp arrows and shouted: "Although the king has a life, but the situation is critical, for the sake of the Chu State and the king, you must shoot arrows!" ”
Yang Youji was so arrogant that he fired several arrows in succession, and the pursuers fell to the ground one after another; Shu Shanran grabbed a Jin soldier who was running, and smashed the chariot that was chasing after him, and actually smashed the chariot apart. The corpses of broken chariots, war dead and war horses blocked the narrow passages and hindered the movement of pursuers. After Yang Yuji passed through the pass, a defensive line was arranged, and the Jin people saw that they could not pass, so they gave up the pursuit and turned around and retreated.
The battle began early in the morning and ended when the sky was full of stars.
