Chapter 182 Windy Building
The so-called fist killed the master. Just now, the Yan army entered the woods neatly and carefully. As a result, it was killed by Lu Qiang's bodyguards. But this time it was different. The soldiers came in like a swarm of bees, that is, there was no formation, and they were not as cautious as before.
In this way, Lu Qiang and the guards could no longer use the method just now to scare off the Yan army.
Finally, after a bodyguard attacked several Yan soldiers, he was found by other Yan soldiers, so he was besieged and fell into a bitter battle. And this is only the beginning. As more and more bodyguards are found, the tragic close combat finally began in full swing.
Hearing the shouts of killing in the woods, Sun Hu finally smiled.
"Lu Qiang, do I see you escape there this time? As long as I kill you, who else in Jiangnan can stop Liu Gong's footsteps? And as long as Duke Liu unified the forces in the south of the Yangtze River, he could swing his army to the north."
At this moment, Sun Hu's smile suddenly condensed on his face, because he felt the vibration of the ground.
Cavalry, this is the vibration of the cavalry galloping on the ground.
Sun Hu lived in the north for a long time and suddenly heard what kind of army it was. At this time, in such a hurry, in addition to Jingzhou iron riders, there is also that?
Sun Hu looked at the fight in the dense forest above the valley and couldn't help sighing. The road is strong! Give me another hour, and I will definitely cut off Lu Qiang's head.
It's just a little, just a little bit!
At this time, not only Sun Hu, but also his soldiers felt the shaking of the earth. Of course, these northern soldiers also heard what kind of army they were.
Sun Hu's 5,000 men and horses are all infantry, and the cavalry are not under his jurisdiction, and they came in a hurry to kill Lu Qiang. There are no heavy weapons and weapons suitable for defense. In this case, once they encounter a brigade of cavalry, I'm afraid they can figure out the consequences with their buttocks.
Sun Huchang sighed, waved his hand, and said helplessly: "Withdraw"
It's just a matter of the cavalry killing in a blink of an eye. If they retreat at that time, it will be too late.
Following Sun Hu's order, the Yan soldiers retreated like a tide, followed Sun Hu's horse, spread their feet and ran in the direction of Luoyang.
As Sun Hu thought, at this time, the top of the valley really reached the most critical moment.
It is said that good men can't defeat the four-handed, and more than 200 strong guards with martial arts are killed by ten times more than the enemy. Although countless enemy troops have fallen around them, they are finally outnumbered, and there are less than 50 people left, and everyone is injured, which is only supported by that momentum.
Lu Qiang looked like a crazy tiger. The enemy killed in front of him had become a tall pile of people, but the enemy seemed to be endlessly killed and rushed to him one after another. He didn't know that Sun Hu had opened his head a price of thousands of gold, so these Yan soldiers were so desperate.
In the absence of hand weapons, Lu Qiang used whatever he caught. At the most ferocious time, he actually grabbed the bodies of two Yan soldiers as weapons. The two bodies of the weapons rotated, which scared the Yan soldiers to break their liver and retreat one after another. Is this a person?
It was also his fierceness that won the most precious time for the cavalry to kill.
At this time, Lu Qiang, shawl emanated, covered with blood, had his own and enemies, standing on the high pile of Yan army corpses under the moonlight, like a devil.
Just as the soldiers of the Yan army were hesitating whether to rush up and continue the siege, there was a sound of withdrawing troops in the valley.
Hearing the sound of gold in the Yan army, Lu Qiang understood that at this time, the reinforcements must have arrived, otherwise Sun Hu would not have suffered a loss.
At present, he summoned up the remaining strength and shouted, "Brothers, the reinforcements have arrived, kill!"
As if cooperating with Lu Qiang, a fire dragon suddenly appeared in the darkness in the distance, rushing towards this side at a very fast speed.
The height of the mountain standing on the valley is far away. Not only Lu Qiang and his guards, but also many Yan soldiers who have no time to retreat have seen it. Who is still thinking of besieging and killing Lu Qiang?
The soldiers of the Yan army finally retreated like a tide, and some smart people simply took the lead in running to the depths of the woods to avoid encountering the Jingzhou iron horse.
Seeing the Yan army retreat, the bodyguards surrounded Lu Qiang one after another and observed them vigilantly, so that the enemy would not give up and take the opportunity to attack. Behind Lu Qiang was the big tree where Wang Shenai was.
Lu Qiang's fierce struggle with the guards attracted the attention of the Yan army. Otherwise, if the Yan army soldiers found Wang Shenai would definitely distract Lu Qiang and others, and the war would have ended early.
After a long time, the roar of horses' hoofs finally sounded in the valley.
Dai Qianqiu dragged an arm and said in surprise, "Your Excellency, it's our cavalry. Come on, come and pick up the cavalry and come here to protect you."
Looking at the color of Jingzhou military uniform against the firelight, Lu Qiang finally smiled. When he turned around, he happened to see Wang Shenai climbing down from the tree. He had the intention to pick it up. Unexpectedly, before his feet could come out, his eyes were black and he fell on the body of the Yan army.
"Adult..."
The shout of the bodyguard, accompanied by Wang Shenai's exclamation, rushed from Lu Qiang from four directions, but unfortunately Lu Qiang had fainted because of his weakness.
Deng Xiang's cavalry arrived in such a timely manner thanks to Sun Yao's report.
Sun Yao galloped all the way, gave full play to what she had learned, and caught up with Deng Xiang, who was walking slowly.
As soon as Deng Xiang heard that Lu Qiang was trapped, this shock was not small. He immediately ordered the people and horses to abandon the heavy and come to the rescue at full speed, and the 3,000 iron riders were all veterans who followed Lu Qiang's southern expedition to the north. Almost without waiting for Deng Xiang's order, they killed the valley like crazy.
In this way, Jingzhou Tieqi pulled Lu Qiang and his party back from the death line at the most critical moment.
Today, Deng Xiang is no longer the same hairy boy at the beginning. Seeing that the night is darker, after receiving Lu Qiang, the whole army immediately retreated and did not take advantage of the situation to kill the Yan army.
This made Sun Hu, who led the army to ambush outside the valley, the most suitable place for ambush. Sun Hu, who was preparing to ambush the Jingzhou cavalry, was disappointed and sighed. There are so many talents in Jingzhou. Liu Gong competed with Lu Qiang. It's really hard to say who will die in the end!
Lu Qiang in a coma seemed to be on a flat boat in the ocean, swaying, and his consciousness was sometimes clear and sometimes confused.
For a long time, Lu Qiang has been busy with government affairs, or he is on the battlefield, and his spirit has always been in extreme tension. This time, in order to save Wang Shenai, he also tried his best. In addition, he fought hard in the middle of the night and lost too much blood, and finally fell ill.
This scared Wang Shenai and Sun Yao and waited beside them all day and night.
After Zhao Lunwen's army arrived, he also felt that the situation was serious. He immediately led the army to escort Lu Qiang and others back to Nanyang, and then used warships down the river and sent Lu Qiang and others to the north bank of Jiangling.
For safety's sake, 3,000 iron riders and 10,000 infantry followed along the shore.
At this time, Wang Zhenvil, Sima Xiuzhi, Xie Wangzu and others had also been waiting on the shore. Seeing that Lu Qiang was unconscious and still thinking about picking Lu Qiang's problem, they immediately sent him back to the Assassination House and asked a famous doctor to treat Lu Qiang.
The joy of the reunion of Chunlan and Dongmei and Wang Shenai was diluted by Lu Qiang's illness. After a simple greeting, they became busy.
According to the current words, Lu Qiang's disease belongs to the category of accumulated labor. If this alone, more rest is enough. The problem is that he still has lost a lot of blood, which cannot be cured by ordinary doctors.
With the wave of famous doctors shaking their heads one after another, the Assassin's House also appeared in a sad cloud.
Since Lu Qiang entered Jingzhou, he has been treating the people well, exempting him from taxes, and has really done a lot of good things. Now that he has fallen ill, the people spontaneously prayed for the sick Lu Qiang, and every family burned incense and prayed for God to let Lord Assassin get better soon.
Lu Qiang seemed to be really hopeless this time. Although he was still breathing, he was not conscious at all.
In this way, of course, the women in the family are anxious, and the officials in Jingzhou also begin to panic. If he really can't afford to be sick, who should inherit such a large foundation?
At the same time, the news of Lu Qiang's illness also spread to the north of the Yangtze River like a gust of wind.
The first person to get the news was Liu Yu. After the war, Liu Yu was also taking time to rest, so after hearing the news, he did not do anything, but sent a large number of officials to Jiangling.
The task of these officials is very clear. If Lu Qiang recovers from his illness, he will express his condolences to Lu Qiang on behalf of Liu Yu. If Lu Qiang is really as terrible as the legend, seize the time to alienate Jingzhou officials and prepare him to send troops to Jingzhou.
After receiving the news, Murong Yun had to give up the idea of sending troops, because he was not yet hot on the throne of the emperor!
Yao Xing is different. He and Jingzhou Luqiang can be said to be a national hatred and family hatred. At present, despite the opposition of the ministers, he immediately mobilized 80,000 troops and repaired the martial arts pass. Obviously, when Lu Qiang's side was choked, he was about to send troops.
For a while, because of Lu Qiang's illness, people from all walks of life were ready to move.
Conversely, Jiangling is extremely calm, but everyone knows that this is just a superficial phenomenon, because Jiangling City has imposed a curfew for the first time since it has forcibly entered Jiangling.
After receiving the news, He Wuji immediately rushed back from Hanzhong. He came back secretly. He didn't even visit Lu Qiang, but found Zhou Kui and Deng Xiang first.
Zhou Kui is in charge of the Jiangling garriver, while Deng Xiang leads the most elite 3,000 iron riders.
He Wuji saw that they had no other purpose, which was to ask for their attitude.
With the continuous strengthening of Jingzhou's strength, the people around Lu Qiang began to become various, so He Wuji had to be prepared.
I have to say that He Wuji's worries are reasonable, but Zhou Kui and Deng Xiang don't need him to worry. First, both of them were promoted by Lu Qiang, and there is absolutely no problem in terms of loyalty. In addition, these two are also very clear that the army is only loyal to Lu Qiang, even if they have any ideas. I'm afraid I can't command many people.
After receiving the positive reply from the two, He Wuji rushed to Luo Song Mansion non-stop. He knew that although Luo Song's official position was not high, he was in charge of the largest dark forces in Jingzhou with Liu Sinu and Dai Qianqiu. He Wuji did not worry about their problems, but asked them to pay attention to every move of Jingzhou officials.
He Wuji has almost blind trust in Lu Qiang. He is convinced that Lu Qiang can survive this, and what he has to do is to ensure that there is no trouble in Jingzhou before Lu Qiang wakes up.
He Wuji didn't know that an emergency meeting was also being held in the Jiangling government office at this time...
