Chapter 106: It's Gu Changxiao
Cheng Yu didn't panic. If he chased the twenty or so people at this time, the brothers at the scene would be slaughtered by the remaining Tartars.
The prince has already run far away, and there are brothers waiting for him at the west gate. These Tartars cannot hurt the prince.
He must kill the remaining Tartars as soon as possible before he can save the prince and Yunniang.
Jinsui, who ran away from the South Gate, quickly calmed down. Seeing that there were no Tartars chasing him, he immediately rushed towards the West Gate where he was originally guarding.
The team protecting her said anxiously, "Your Majesty, Chief Secretary Cheng said you need to go to a safe place and don't go near the border town again."
Jin Sui said anxiously: "There is still a team defending the west gate. We need to notify them to help. One more person will save one life!"
The team was silent, because the brief bloody battle just now had shown everyone the cruelty of the Tartars and our army had suffered heavy casualties.
The fire in the border town lit up half the sky red, the air was swallowed by flames, and the lungs felt burning with every breath.
Jin Sui secretly hated himself for not learning martial arts and being unable to lead troops to kill the enemy like Cheng Yu. He also regretted not focusing on developing weapons during this period of time.
Fish oil firearms produce large flames and loud explosions, but their lethality is not strong.
The anesthetic needle cannot be used if it is far away and it is also difficult to aim.
She should study hand crossbows, fire crossbows and the like. At least she should have weapons that can kill the enemy, instead of being protected by others like she is now.
Another reason was that she was too confident and thought that the fish oil in the city was enough to burn all the Tartars to death in the city.
Unexpectedly, the mad war horses would create a gap, allowing a group of Tatars to escape.
She had not investigated the Yanzhou Army and arbitrarily believed that the Yanzhou Army could stand on its own. She did not expect that they were so useless and harmed their own people.
Jinsui was filled with regret and self-blame. His thoughts had already run back to the west gate, but when he looked around, he saw the burning city walls and endless military farmland.
What about the soldiers who stayed behind?
She raised her telescope and looked towards the mountain peak. She saw a group of torches flashing anxiously. Jin Sui was shocked. Didn't she and Captain Huang have such a secret signal? She suddenly realized and turned to shout to the dozens of people behind her: "Enemy attack! Run!"
She first rushed towards the river bank above the storage field. Not far from the river bank was the river beach that had been dredged this year. By rushing across the river beach with slow water flow and entering the forest, she could easily get rid of the Tatars.
She guessed that the team that stayed behind either went to the closer north city to support Han Xing, or took another route to the south city gate first, so the two sides did not meet on the way.
The enemies around her would only rush out from the South Gate. It seemed that Cheng Yu's letting her go first did not disrupt the real intention of the Tartars, to catch her! She was not so arrogant as to rely on the dozens of people behind her to kill this group of Tartars.
The brutality of the Tartars fighting each other at the South Gate was truly amazing.
If we confront the Tartars head-on at this time, the soldiers will die in vain. We can only lead them into the woods where our army can fight more conveniently, and then use tranquilizer guns to knock them down one by one.
She had to reduce our army's casualties as much as possible. In the battle outside the South City Gate, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife every time a soldier fell.
When she heard the whistling sound of arrows and bows, she felt as if she was dreaming of herself and Gu Changxiao hiding from the enemy in the mountains.
When he was riding at full speed, he looked back and saw that there were not many Tartars, only about twenty people.
Among them, there was a particularly tall one, and the weapon he used was actually a chain hammer.
He stood up on the horse, took his hands off the reins, and threw the hammer from a very long distance, always hitting the target.
Jin Sui watched helplessly as his first hammer struck a huge rock, sending rubble flying everywhere as if it had exploded.
The second hammer hit the leg of the horse of the soldier running at the back, and the horse rolled to the ground, and the soldier on the horse also rolled down.
Jinsui thought he was riding very fast, but he didn't expect the Tartars to be even faster, and they rode on horseback as if they were on flat ground.
The guards beside him said anxiously: "Don't look back, Your Majesty, run forward! I will stop them!"
Jin Sui said anxiously, "No! Let's run together, don't try to fight!"
In the blink of an eye, another horse was hit by the chain hammer.
Jin Sui's eyes instantly filled with bloodshot. Damn the Tartars! If this continues, our people will be caught up and killed one by one.
If she was the only one who escaped, how would she have the face to meet the soldiers in the border town?
The great Li Wang was chased by the Tartars like a sheep! Her eyes were fixed, looking at the border town on one side, which was burning with fire, and the rushing Yan River on the other side.
He came up with a plan, took out a fish oil firearm, and threw it hard into the river behind him.
There was a loud bang, and huge waves of water hit the Tartars, and then the surface of the river was filled with fire.
This did not cause much damage to the Tatars, it just frightened them for a moment, causing the horses under them to neigh and lose their pace.
To buy Jinsui a brief moment to aim, she pulled the reins to stop, aimed the anesthetic needle at the man with the hammer, and fired two shots in succession, one shot into his arm and the other was knocked away by him.
But the injection soon took effect, and he fell weakly from his horse.
This reaction alerted the Tartar, and all the needles fired by Jinsui were shot down one by one.
But this action also completely angered the Tatars. They stabbed the horses' hips with their knives directly. When the distance between the two sides was shortened, they slapped the horses' backs and jumped up.
Jin Sui tried his best to avoid a fierce battle with him, but now there was no way to avoid it and he could only draw his sword to fight the enemy.
The Tatars' goal was clear: to capture her alive.
The Tartar with wolf eyes ignored the attacks of the guards. Even when a guard's spear pierced his shoulder, he simply grasped the spear head, lifted the guard from the horse's back, and threw him heavily to the ground.
Blood was gushing out of his body, and his wolf eyes were fixed on Jin Sui's face from head to toe. As the two of them got closer and closer, the few remaining guards shouted, "Your Majesty, run!"
But the wolf-eyed Tartar had already slashed at Jinsui's horse's legs with a knife. Jinsui jumped off the horse first and rolled twice on the ground.
Glancing at the river beside her, she drew the dagger from her waist and looked at the wolf-eyed Tartar with the same cold expression.
Come on! At worst, we can die together!
She made up her mind that as long as she got the chance, she would drag this man into the river.
The Tartars are afraid of water, so he will surely die.
At the critical moment, there was a sudden sound of horses neighing from the riverbank below, followed by an urgent shout: "Don't panic, Your Majesty! I'm coming!"
The voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was. Jin Sui didn't turn around, because if she turned around, the Tartar would kill her with a knife.
But the wolf-eyed Tartar found that there were reinforcements and became anxious. He roared, "Ugh!" and stabbed Jin Sui's heart with a knife.
The tip of the knife flashed silver light, and it looked extremely dazzling in the fiery red that illuminated half the sky and in this unusual dark night.
Jin Sui watched the silver light getting closer and closer. Just when it reached her chest, a big hand grabbed her shoulder tightly and turned her around behind the man.
Then there was another point of silver light, which intersected with the silver light. With a "crack" sound, the Tartar's scimitar was cut in two.
Half of the blade was stuck in the ground in front of Jinsui's feet. She looked up along the light reflected by the blade and saw a tall figure with broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs.
She didn't see the face, but she recognized him from the back.
It’s Gu Changxiao.
