Chapter seventy-nine black cloud

.

The war horses began to pant. Seeing that the Song army in the rear did not chase after him, Ji Yan ordered the cavalry of Heiyundu to slow down their mounts and advance slowly. They did not encounter any interceptions from Song soldiers along the way. Everyone began to relax, but they were a little depressed because of the fall of Jinling and the master was covered with dust.

Chen De controlled the reins with both hands, clamped the abdomen of the horse with his legs, and followed the cavalry of Heiyundu tightly to gallop forward. Although Huang Wen was born in a general, she vaguely remembered that her father had taken her to ride a horse when she was a child, but since she entered the palace, she had only been on a carriage and had to ride a horse with Chen Degong on the same horse. At this moment, she snuggled in Chen Dehuai, her bare hands tightly held the high bridge in front of her saddle. The strong wind blew her face, making her pink face red, but her heart was secretly happy.

Although Li Tianhe learned to ride a horse, but the fierce power of war, Chen De was worried that he would ride alone, so he deliberately chose a good horse and asked Li Si to take him with him. Fortunately, the young man had not grown up yet, and Li Si was not a burly man, so the burden of the war horse was not heavy. Although Li Tianhe grew up in the deep palace since he was young, his inner sides of his strands had been worn out, but his temperament became particularly stoic when he suffered a major change, and he did not hurt at all with biting his lips.

More than a thousand cavalry galloped out about six miles east of Jinling, and the Qing River meandered in front. Qing River was the largest river in the east of Jinling City at this time. It originated from the southwest foot of Zhongshan. It merged with the river in the south of the mountain to form a fore lake and flowed south into the Qinhuai River. Because the Qing River was shallow and clear, there were lush forests and bamboos on both sides and the beauty of shallow grass. Since the Eastern Wu era, the nobles and scholars in Jiangnan built a large-scale construction on both sides of Qing River and built countless garden villas. The rivers here are many curves, called Jiuqu Qing River. Beautiful and elegant buildings are scattered between Hezhou, as if they were in the sky.

Although the Qingxi area is located in the east of Jinling City and is not the main battlefield for the Song people to besiege Jinling, the "Jiuqu Qingxi" has many wealthy families. Since the Song army besieged Jinling, since the Yihai year, the Song people's military needs have been tight. The teams that beat Caogu would cross the periphery of Jinling almost every few days to rob here. The residents here did not escape the war. Therefore, they were separated from the Jinling City Camp with the Song army's Jilong Mountain Camp. The Song army did not dare to station here. In order to prevent the Tang army from resisting with the Qingxi water system, the Song people simply burned all the houses in the Qingxi area. Therefore, the Qingxi area, which was reflected in the eyes of the fugitives such as Wanyan and Chen De, was a scene of ruins and ruins.

Just as everyone was urging the horses to wading across the Qingxi River, a large group of Song cavalry chased him to the northwest of Jinling City. Ji Yan immediately ordered a team of Black Cloud Cavalry with a total of 100 people to stay on the spot and delay the Song army's pursuit. The Heiyundu Captain who led the team replied loudly without thinking. The knights turned over and dismounted, leading the horses to find a favorable attack position, and seized the time to rest.

The commander of the Song cavalry who was chasing the Song army was Dong Zunhui, the commander of the Xiaowu Army. This time, Cao Bin said he was sick, but he left the 6,000 cavalry south in the camp under the pretext of defending the camp. When he heard that the Southern Tang cavalry had broken through, he ordered Dong Zunhui to immediately lead the Yuncai Army in the third camp to chase. These Yuncai children were full of resentment because they could not enter the city to rob. At this moment, they were all happy to hear that they had the opportunity to go out of the camp. They all had the idea of ​​dealing with the people of the Southern Tang as soon as possible and then making some money on the spot. Dong Zunhui was old in the army. Seeing that the morale of the army was available, he led the thousands of Yuncai and hurried to chase the east.

After discovering the traces of the Southern Tang cavalry breaking out, Dong Zunhui couldn't help but feel happy. He urged the horse under his crotch to catch up, and the 1,500 Yun Cavalrymen followed closely behind.

When approaching Qingxi, the black cloud cavalry left behind the broken black cloud cavalry and put down their iron masks and turned ten times as much as they were. The cloud cavalry launched a charge. The black cloud cavalry often focused on iron armor and held iron spears. In order to prevent the impact force of the two armies from hitting people off the horse's back, the cavalry with insufficient waist and legs tied their feet tightly on the horse with leather belts, and even if they died in battle, they still stood on the horse. The cavalry of the Song army had many leather armors and used thick backs to sabers. The cavalry of the good family from border counties was better at riding and shooting, and the impact force of melee combat was not as good as that of Heiyundu.

The Heiyundu cavalry that charged forward was amazing. The charge line covered the most gentle and easy-to-walk section of Qingxi River. The Song army could not bypass the river, and faced the front, and had to pay a huge price to face. They had to separate more than a thousand cavalry to both sides and avoid the front edge of the Heiyun cavalry. More than 500 cavalry took advantage of the advantages of sufficient horsepower and light armor. They did not fight with the Heiyundu cavalry head-on, but maintained a certain distance in front. The Song cavalry who were wandering on both sides and behind the Heiyundu cavalry first shot down the Black Cloud cavalry mounts with crossbows. After the Heiyun cavalry landed, four or five cavalry rushed onto the horse and slashed the sword. In less than half an hour, all the more than a hundred Heiyundu cavalry were killed, while the Song cavalry only lost about twenty cavalry that could not dodge.

Another team of more than 800 Yunqin Army was slowly behind the brigade of Black Cloud Cavalry. The light-carrying Yunqin defeated the Heiyundu, which had been fighting for half a day. Therefore, no matter how Wu Yan and Chen De whipped the horse, they could not get rid of it. Instead, a few bold border Yunqins rushed to rush forward and released the cold arrows, killing the behind Black Cloud Cavalry from time to time.

Two teams of cavalry ran for more than ten miles, and came to the foot of Zhongshan, which is fashionable called Jiangshan. As the sky was getting late, there was a saying in ancient times that "don't enter the forest". People in the Southern Tang Dynasty thought that as long as they entered the vast mountainous areas, it would be difficult for the Song people to track them at night, and they were temporarily out of danger. Looking at the foot of Jiangshan Mountain, Chen De showed a hint of relaxation on his face. He reached out to pat Huang Wen who was leaning in his arms, and asked her to see the green and green mountain scenery in front of her, and at the same time, he was careful to hold the saddle tightly and not be bumped down. The commander of the Black Cloud Metropolitan Commander, Ji Yan, secretly felt sorry for the comrades who had been resolutely delaying the pursuit of the Song people.

Unexpectedly, just as everyone was relaxing, the Song army in the brigade suddenly emerged from the shade of the trees at the foot of the mountain, forming a wide formation to block the way, flags flying in front of the formation, and Cao Bin's general flag was deployed in the camps in the west of Shengzhou that actually raised the formation.

Cavalry chased afterwards, and the Song army formation in front was 10,000 infantry, and all the people in the Southern Tang Dynasty were shrouded in haze. The remaining 800 cavalry were close together, as if this was the only way to drive away the despair in their hearts.

Wan Yan looked at the wide and thick formation of the Song army in front, sighed, and turned to Chen De and said, "General Chen, I, Heiyun, have something to let you down before, but you don't care about your past grudges to save me. Wan is a rude person, and even if you escape, it will be useless. I have fought my life this time, and I will ensure that you will not let you escape. Heiyun will not let the country down." He is the commander of the emperor's personal army, and is familiar with the secrets of the palace. As he spoke, he glanced at Li Tianhe, who was protected by Li Si, and thought that Li Yu had guessed the intention of entrusting his or her own orphan. This time, he was willing to sacrifice his life to help Chen De escape from danger, and he also wanted to leave a line of blood in the Li family in Jiangnan.

Chen De looked at the thick formation of the Song army in front of him, nodded helplessly, and smiled bitterly: "Why do you have to do this, General Ji? I thanked you first, but the Song army is powerful, so we may be very likely to escape one person."

But Ji Yan said proudly: "Since the army of Heiyundu has become an army, all the formations have been broken. Although only 800 heroes are left today, General Chen also asked General Chen to see that the sword of Heiyun is not a false reputation." After saying that, his eyes were a little sad, thinking that he was recalling the scenery of the sword of Heiyun across the Yangtze River and Huai River, and said: "Please monitor the Song cavalry that followed our army for me. I will lead the heroes under my command to attack the Song formation three times, and I will definitely defeat it. During the third attack, General Chen can lead the Divine Guards to follow me. The sword will turn back to block the enemy. If you take the opportunity to enter the mountains, the Song people will not be able to chase him."

Seeing him say this, Chen De had to nod.

Seeing that Chen De's mount was sweating all over, his mouth and nose were sprayed with white breath, he shook his head a little regretfully, and looked at the woman in Chen Dehuai. He didn't recognize Huang Wen, and actually said, "A real man should make a choice. If you accept two people, you will be unable to do anything. Why don't you cherish a woman and ruin a big deal."

His words were very abrupt. Huang Wen's face turned pale and her face was fading. Chen De said frantically: "A real man cannot even protect a woman. What kind of face does he have to stand in the world?" If he hadn't remembered that Heiyun wanted to sacrifice himself to open the road for him, he would have turned against him on the spot.

Ji Yan shook his head incredible. Regardless of Chen De's attitude, he whispered to the Black Cloud Cavalry following him: "The Song people used tricks to break my Jiangnan, and they were defeated today. My Black Cloud Sword is so powerful that I am all over the world. Three thousand comrades are slaughtered by the Song people. You are willing to follow me to break the enemy formation and die to the point of death. Only then will you not fall into the reputation of the Black Cloud Sword. Do you dare to fight?"

The rest of Heiyundu were all brave soldiers with excellent cavalry and spear skills. Seeing that they were attacked by the enemy, they knew that the Song army had already slaughtered surrendered soldiers and had already developed the ambition to fight to the end. They immediately shouted in unison: "Dare to fight, dare to fight!"

Ji Yan nodded with satisfaction: "I made an appointment with you all, and I will charge three times to break the Song army's infantry formation to prove my name as the Black Cloud Sword!" After saying that, he put down the iron mask on his helmet and rode his horse to the front of the army. The eight hundred cavalrymen of the Black Cloud were arranged in eight sparse rows behind him.

Chen Deze and the rest of the seventy guards turned over and dismounted, pulled off the crossbow arrows, and while resting their horsepower, they warned the Song army who followed far behind.

As the sparse cavalry formation slowly approached, the Song army infantry formation began to fire crossbow arrows into the sky, and the Black Cloud City was heavily armored. The actual losses caused by the rain of arrows thrown from afar were not large. The heavy cavalry, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, kept trotting at the speed of the mounts, and suddenly moved closer when they were about to catch the enemy, following closely behind the horse, while constantly observing the weakness of the Song people's stance formation.

Although the crossbow arrows in front of him were dense and powerful, causing the cavalry to fall off the horse, the short distance rushed past, and everyone followed the rhythm of Ji Yan to level the iron cavalry. The dense wedge-shaped cavalry formation deeply crashed into the Song army's infantry formation with huge momentum.

Note 1. There are thousands of Han cavalry chasing. King Xiang was unable to escape. He said to his cavalry, "I have been eight years old since I started fighting. I have been fighting for more than seventy years. What should I dominate, and what I attacked has been defeated. I have never been defeated. So he dominates the world. However, now the soldiers are trapped here, □ Zhengyi, the soldiers, and the sons are against each other. This is the destruction of heaven, which is not the crime of war. Today, I will die quickly. It is the first time that the kings will fight quickly, and they will win three times. The kings will collapse the siege, kill the generals, and cut the flags, so that the kings will know that the heaven will destroy me, which is not the crime of war." So he divided his cavalry into four teams and four towns. King Xiang said to his cavalry, "I will take one general for the public." He ordered the cavalry to rush down from all sides and set three places in Shandong. □ Zhengyi encountered Shandong and divided into three places. The Han army did not know Xiang Yu's place. Kuodizhi said: "Jiuto Mountain is in

Ninety-six miles northwest of Quanjiao County, Chuzhou. It is said that Xiang Yu was defeated to Wujiang. Han soldiers chased Yu here. Nine battles a day, so he was named." So King Xiang shouted that Zhengyi was fire. He rushed down and the Han army was invincible. □ Zhengyi turned against him. □ Zhengyi turned against him. □ Zhengyi turned against him. He said that his spirit was low and he killed him. Then he killed a general of Han. At that time, the Marquis of Chiquan was the cavalry general. He chased Xiang. King Xiang was angry and scolded him. The Marquis of Chiquan was both shocked. He opened the Yi for several miles. Zhengyi spoke of the men and horses, and opened the old place of Zhang Yi, and even several miles. He met with his cavalry. The Han army did not know where Xiang was, so he divided the army into three and surrounded him again. King Xiang then rushed, and killed a commander of Han, killed dozens of hundreds of people, gathered his cavalry again, and destroyed his two cavalry. He then said to his cavalry, "What is it?" The cavalry all hid and said, "It's like the king said."

Note 2. On the way to Beijing, Wu Sangui learned that his father had been imprisoned by the Dashun Army and his lover was occupied by Li Zicheng's generals. Such a shame of insulting his father and taking his wife was something that a man could not tolerate. Wu Sangui was also a man of blood, and he held 100,000 "Guanning Iron Cavalry" in his hand. He knew that his father had been abused and his wife was occupied. If he could remain indifferent at this time, he would be really not a man. Therefore, Wu Sangui couldn't help but be angry.

He shouted loudly that a real man could not protect his family, so why did he be a human being? So he immediately led the army back to Shanhaiguan, and ordered the entire army to give filial piety to Emperor Chongzhen, and opened the closing of Shanhaiguan and surrendered to Dorgon. This made the Eight Banners brigades of the Qing Dynasty quickly swallow up the land of the Ming Dynasty like a flood. From then on, Wu Sangui had the mark of a traitor who everyone hated to the bone, and his life was firmly nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

The question is, which man surrenders to another man who rapes his own woman? If there is really, how will he write about him in history books? For some things, it is easy to be a spectator.
