Chapter 7 The Golden Cicada Escapes the Shell
Taishici's army had more than 300 people. Although the number was not large, they were all elite cavalry he trained on weekdays and were very brave and good at fighting. When Liu Yao and Xu Shao saw Taishici coming to rescue, they felt a little relieved.
Not far away, Sun Ce's flags moved closer and closer, and we could already feel the vibration of horses running across the ground.
"Shaochong, I'll come to the palace. You can quickly take the lord and Mr. Xu to kill the generals." Taishici shouted.
After saying that, Taishi Ci slammed his horse and waved his guns to face Sun Ce's flag. Behind him, the three hundred dead cavalrymen were like a powerful whirlwind, rolling up hurricanes all over the sky and pounced on the enemy formation that was as mountains and seas.
Looking at Taishi Ci's back as he shouted on his horse and left without fear, I felt the perseverance that only a bloody man could understand. The one who could take the head of the enemy general on the battlefield and laughter was a real hero, while the hope of life was left to his companions, and the danger of death was left to himself was a good man. Suddenly, I had a strong feeling of mutual appreciation.
Perhaps, Taishici and I have a common temperament.
The moment when Taishici was finally submerged in the enemy formation, an inexplicable emptiness attacked my heart, as if an important thing would be lost immediately.
No, I want to kill the enemy with General Ziyi!
Even if we die in battle, we will die vigorously.
I shouted wildly, and the horse galloped towards Taishi Ci. Xu Shao shouted at me from behind, not knowing what he was saying, but I was too lazy to listen at this moment. Anyway, as long as we entangled Sun Ce's main force, Liu Yao, Xu Shao and others, we will definitely be able to escape safely.
"Kill-Haha--." My fighting spirit was never as strong as this moment. I danced with my right hand and pulled out the short halberd on my back with my left hand. Behind me, the only three riders urged the horse to follow me and rushed into the enemy formation filled with fire and smoke.
"Boy is looking for death!" With this silence, an iron spear stabbed in front of me like a poisonous snake. The tip of the spear was fluttering and suddenly shook into a spear flower and stabbed towards my chest. Before the spear arrived, the stirred wind hit me like a huge rock, causing my chest to tighten!
I held my breath and slapped my backhand to the tip of the enemy spear. My body leaned slightly left, trying to resolve the spear. Unexpectedly, the tip of the spear was unmoved. After a little sinking, it still pierced my lower abdomen!
Who is so experienced that he actually used tricks against the enemy in a flash. Without thinking about it, I quickly pressed my center of gravity to the right until my whole body hangs to the right side of the war horse. At the same time, I had a long horn in my hand and went to the other side with all my strength, and finally pushed the spear away.
I stood up and looked along the iron spear, and saw a majestic veteran sitting upright on the horse, staring at me with bright eyes.
"The person who can avoid my Cheng Pu's spear must not be an unknown person. I will sign up!"
I shouted: "I am the one who is the one who is the one who is in Liu Yao's army."
Cheng Pu furiously said, "How dare you bully me, not to mention a little talent, even a general or a military marquis, are the dead ghosts under my Cheng Pu's iron spear."
The iron spear hit again!
This time, I cheered up and used all my strength to hold the long horn with my hands. Cheng Pu seemed to be a veteran outside the fifties. How could I lose to him with strength?
"Ding" the spear intersected with the spear and weapons, and in an instant, an endless huge suction force suddenly uploaded from Cheng Pu's weapon. The long spear in my hand was about to escape!
I was shocked, took a deep breath, and used all my hands to hold the long-lasting force to regain my desperate efforts. But just as I used my strength, the strange suction force turned into an invincible impact storm, and rushed towards me with the momentum of my regain! I felt my arms numb, and then the feeling of lightning strike penetrated straight into my body from my arms, whipping on my internal organs like a whip.
I just felt dizzy and had a severe pain between my chest and abdomen. A mouth, a blood arrow spurted out from my mouth!
I suffered a great loss in this battle with Cheng Pu. I didn't expect Cheng Pu's power to be so strong. What's even more terrifying is that the strange power uploaded by his spear could not avoid its shadow-like attack no matter how it resisted it!
When I was fighting with Cheng Pu, Taishici's charge of death was coming to an end. His spirit was eroding from time to time, and his fatigue was increasing little by little. When we met again, the number of three hundred elite cavalry had dropped sharply, leaving only seventy cavalry, and everyone was injured, all of them were like blood gourds.
But they still remained calm and followed Taishici closely with spears in hand.
We are already deeply encircled, and we can only go to death in battle and surrender.
The enemy did not rush up again. They were like a cat that caught a mouse with their claws. They did not rush to taste the prey, but wanted to enjoy the fun of playing with them.
Sun Ce's main flag gradually approached, and the enemy soldiers besieged us automatically gave up a way. Sun Ce sat upright under the banner, with a proud look on his face, looking calm and confident in his victory. Beside him, Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin rode their horses and hugged each other.
Sun Ce came to the front of the formation and shouted loudly: "Sun Bofu is here, why didn't Taishi Ziyi surrender early?"
Taishi Ci was furious when she heard this and said, "Sun Ce, do you dare to fight me one by one again?"
After saying that, he was about to go out of the battle. I was shocked. After nearly three hours of fighting, Taishi Ci still had such courage to kill, which was beyond my reach. But now Sun Ce was waiting for his work. I was afraid that Taishi Ci would be defeated, so I stopped him and said, "General Ziyi, now there are many enemies and we are few. It is not a time to maintain courage. It is better to avoid it quickly. How can we fight for a long time?"
When Taishi Ci saw me fighting side by side with him, he was also a passionate man who values love and friendship. He also had respect in his heart. He heard what I said at this time and said sternly: "Fortunately, Shao Chong reminded me that he almost fell into the agitated plan of Sun Ce's son."
Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and others on Sun Ce knew about Taishi Ci's courage. At this time, they saw that they were sure to win, and they were afraid that something would happen. If Sun Ce had a mistake in the battle with Taishi Ci, they would think what to do and hurriedly persuaded Sun Ce to make him angry.
After getting this moment of breathing, I stepped up my breathing and adjusted my breathing for a while. The internal organs that were injured by Cheng Pu were vaguely ached. Now I finally recovered some strength. When I looked around, I saw that Sun Ce's army was surrounded by people, and it was extremely difficult to break through the encirclement.
It's almost dusk, and as long as you've been through a while, when the sky is completely dark, you might be able to take advantage of the chaos to kill the generals, I thought to myself.
I just don’t know if Sun Ce will give us this opportunity.
Time passes by little by little.
Sun Ce did not move.
We cannot move.
The north wind blew the flag of Sun Ce's army, making a sound. I looked at the enemy's "Sun" and had a sudden inspiration and said, "General Ziyi, have you ever heard that destroying his strength and taking over his title can explain the principle of his body."
Taishici was puzzled and asked, "When it is critical, Shaochong please tell me clearly, I, Taishici, will definitely follow my plan."
If I had been advised by my position as a leader, Taishi Ci would not have spoken like this, but now I was trapped by Sun Ce's heavy army and could not escape. Yesterday, when I fought on the mountain, I showed my courage and today I sacrificed my life to fight with him side by side. In Taishi Ci's eyes, I was no longer an ordinary little pawn, but a trustworthy friend.
I lowered my voice and said, "Sun Ce's words just now seemed to have the intention of subduing Ziyi. In this way, you will not hurt you. The Sun Army is afraid of the general's ability. I can kill you, so there is nothing better than..."
Taishi Ci's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he said, "It's better to capture the thief and capture the king. It's a pity that I went up to the ridge and killed me so quickly. The intention was known to Sun Ce. I am afraid that Sun Ce's generals will be prepared for this time."
I shook my head and replied, "General Ziyi, it is indeed impossible to capture the thief, but you and I can make the illusion of a false attack to cover the main force's breakthrough. Just now, the war started, and Sun Ce's army was full of morale and was on guard. Therefore, the general intercepted Sun Ce and returned without success. Now that Sun Ce is in sight, he is surrounded by heavy troops, he will inevitably be full of arrogance. If I send an army to rush hard, I can catch it off guard, and the enemy will be in chaos."
Taishi Cixi said: "What a plan!"
I said, "Although this plan is good, it will not work without God's help."
Last night, when I was patrolling the camp with Taishi Ci, the crescent moon appeared and disappeared in the sky. I don’t know what the situation was like tonight. I prayed secretly, hoping that the thick dark clouds in the sky would be suppressed and everything around would be covered in darkness. After a day of fierce battle, the sky-surgent fire burned everything to ashes, and Sun Ce’s soldiers were also exhausted. It was impossible to prepare the torches used for lighting at night.
Taking advantage of the night to attack, this is my idea.
...
The two sides confronted each other in silence. The sky began to darken, and the besieged enemy soldiers gradually became noise. From the time of the battle at noon, the soldiers' patience has reached its limit. The chaos caused by fatigue and hunger will start from the weakest combat force and slowly spread to the entire army.
At this time, my mind was still quite clear and calm, which really surprised me. Most people fought in battle and became more crazy the more they fought, but I just turned the other way around.
I observed coldly, looking for the best direction to break through.
The noise just now started from Jiang Qin's army in the northwest direction, followed by Zhou Tai and Sun Jing's army adjacent to him, and finally it was Cheng Pu and Han Dang's army in the southeast direction. The best place to break through should be in the northwest. Jiang Qin, like Zhou Tai, recently voted for Sun Ce, and his troops would not have strong combat power. Sun Jing was Sun Ce's uncle, who was good at strategy, not rushing in front of the formation.
The chaos is getting worse and worse. From time to time, the generals shouted at the soldiers under their command. I knew that the enemy's patience had reached its limit. It would not take long for the last showdown to come.
We must start first, taking advantage of the rare chaotic gap exposed by the enemy soldiers.
Thinking of this, I got on the horse, grabbed Taishi Ci's cloak that was unloaded on the saddle, and shouted: "General Ziyi, I'll draw Sun Jun's attention away, and you can quickly lead everyone to break through the northwest!"
"Shaochong, what do you mean? I, Taishici, are you afraid of death?" Taishici suddenly reached out and grabbed the reins of the horse and said angrily. He was observing Sun Jun's mobilization with all his attention, not beingware of this action. When I came to my senses, I was ready to go.
I said resolutely: "The general is brave enough to lead the three armies, and he never fears the enemy. Why are he a greedy person who is afraid of death? But this time, please let me go."
Taishici stared at me fiercely, looking at him as if he was about to eat me, he said, "Why?"
I smiled sadly and said, "General Ziyi, let me ask you, which is better, which is better, compared to me, than the general?"
Taishici said: "That's more to say."
I said again: "What about the general compared to Sun Ce?"
Taishici said proudly: "I saw Shao Chong in the ridge yesterday. Why did he have this question?"
My eyes were filled with tears, and I said with verbal words: "You and I are surrounded by a heavy siege. This is a battle to die, in order to attract the attention of the enemy and give the remaining brothers a chance to break out. If the general goes to die, I will be seriously injured again. Who can take these brothers to kill the general? If I let me go, with the general's ability, there will be a chance to go out."
Taishi Ci was speechless. As I said, it was impossible to get out of here. The only thing that could be done was to sacrifice partially in exchange for a whole breakthrough.
I pointed at the three horses following behind me and said tragically: "Peng is from a humble origin, and it is still only a long ear today! In the eyes of those high-ranking officials, we are just like shepherds of grass, throwing away as much as we want, and abandoning it as we want. In my eyes, the life of any person is equally precious, and there is no distinction between high and low. In my heart, these brothers who live and die with me are more than a thousand times stronger than those officials who tremble their legs as soon as they go into battle. Before this battle, I promised them that they must take them out alive. Now, only the three of them are left who hear me. General Ziyi, today, I will entrust them to you."
Hearing this, Taishici's eyes turned red and he said, "Shaochong--."
I raised my halberd and cut off the reins of the horse, and laughed to the sky and said, "If I could die in battle under Sun Ce's overlord gun, it would be a kind of glory. General Ziyi, let's fight side by side again in the next life!"
After saying that, I urged the war horses to head towards the dark enemy formation, and the dark red cloak strangled on my chest, like a blood lotus blooming in the sunset.
