Chapter 105 Dilemma
Cheng Yu instantly realized what their intention was. He did not shout to Jin Sui because the fire behind him was too loud and he could not hear it.
He just turned his head suddenly and looked at Wei Zhubo anxiously.
They are worthy of being two old colleagues who hate each other at the border but have supported each other for many years.
Even in such a rapidly changing situation, Wei Zhubo understood Cheng Yu's meaning in seconds.
He came up and pulled Jin Sui's reins: "Your Highness, run! The Tartars want to hold you hostage!"
To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. The Tartars also know this principle.
Jinsui is not a general and has never fought in a war. This is the first time she has been on the battlefield in her two lifetimes.
To be honest, watching the two sides fighting with real swords, blood and flesh flying everywhere, broken limbs and arms dancing, heads crushed by horses' hooves, brains flowing all over the ground.
Living people who were burned by the fire rushed out of the city, screaming for death.
Even though she was a doctor and was used to seeing corpses, she could not help but feel uncomfortable seeing such a cruel war scene in the era of cold weapons.
Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. The sound of explosions in the border town, the screams of the Tartars, the neighing of horses, and the sound of burning flames wove together into a sad song of hell.
They took away the sound of her heartbeat, and it seemed as if her heartbeat was in the hands of these voices.
If it weren't for her strong sense of responsibility, this plan was designed by her, and these soldiers followed her! She took the initiative to pretend to be the King of Li, and Ling Jinsui, the poor little girl, gave her her body, and she has not yet fulfilled the little girl's last wish.
With one responsibility after another pressing down on her, she could only force herself to stay steady on the horse, order her brain to think calmly, boost morale, and minimize the casualties of our army as much as possible.
When she heard Wei Zhubo telling her to run, she instinctively pulled the reins and really wanted to turn around and leave this hell of fire.
But when I saw those familiar faces, Dave, who spoke unclearly, and his hands that were used to holding a dung scoop, was now holding a long knife and killing the enemy desperately.
The fleeing silhouettes of Chen Yunniang and those women could still be vaguely seen; they had not yet escaped to a safe place.
The Yanzhou army collapsed like a flock of sheep surrounded by wolves. Although they had more people, they were timid and ready to abandon their weapons and flee at any time.
In such a situation, how could she run away by herself? Once she ran away, even if she won the battle in the end, she would still be defeated!
So many brothers died in vain, and my Bianzhou City was burned in vain! This thought suddenly made her sober. She pressed her palm and something slipped out, shouting at Cheng Yu: "Run!"
At the same time, Cheng Yu raised the things in his hands and rushed into the center of the Tartar team, and instantly understood the prince's intention.
He immediately shouted to his men: "Run!"
The team did not care whether the Tartars were in front of them or behind them, they just killed them ruthlessly in one direction and rushed out of the Tartar team regardless of anything.
The Tatar troops that were dispersed by Cheng Yu were united again. They had no time to rejoice or adjust their strategies on how to capture the handsome leader.
Then the leader threw something in his hand with force. It was an exquisite glass bottle. The Tartar's eyes followed the rise and fall of the bottle.
Until it fell to the ground and exploded with a bang.
They realized that the thing that exploded in the city was actually such a beautiful thing! This explosion completely disrupted the Tartars' plan and also gave our army time to adjust its combat strategy.
Unfortunately, because they were too close, some of our soldiers were affected by the flames and explosion. Although they put out the fire on their bodies in time, their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
At this time, Cheng Yu also ran to Jinsui.
He was much more ferocious than Wei Zhubo, and he yelled at Jinsui directly: "Your Highness, please leave! We have already won this battle!"
"The remaining Tartars want to fight to the death, the most important thing right now is that you are safe!"
The soldiers of the Black Feather Camp listened to Cheng Yu more than Wei Zhubo, and they all spoke up:
"That's right, Your Majesty, please retreat! I will cover your retreat!"
Seeing that Jinsui was still hesitating, Cheng Yu directly slapped Jinsui on the back of the horse with a knife.
The big black horse neighed loudly and ran away.
Cheng Yu quickly ordered a team of men to protect Jin Sui, and then he turned his horse around and charged towards the Tartars who were dazed by the explosion.
The current situation is very clear. Most of the Tatars who escaped from the city have died.
There are about two hundred people left, still fighting a desperate battle. It is only a matter of time before they are wiped out.
However, before a wild beast dies, it will burst out with all its strength to hurt people. The same is true for the Tartars. Before they die, they just want to kill more Han people.
Although Cheng Yu also felt sorry for the lives of his soldiers, compared to the safety of King Li, what did it matter if we all died in battle? From tonight on, our border town will leave a heavy mark in the history books, and all the brothers who died in battle this night will be the ink of that mark.
The thoughts of the border soldiers were the same as Cheng Yu's. They would rather risk their lives to hold back the Tartars than let them hurt the prince!
Seeing the King of Li withdraw, the Yanzhou Army's reaction was quite different. They were not determined to sacrifice their lives for the King of Li, and immediately turned around and tried to flee: "Run! The Tartars are like evil spirits, they will eat people!"
But the direction they fled was the same woods that Chen Yunniang and others had run into.
Cheng Yu's eyes instantly burst into tears. Over there was his new wife who had just gone through life and death ordeals and finally became their husband and wife. Over here were the prince and his brothers who trusted him.
He howled in pain: "Yanzhou Army, abandoning the battle and fleeing is a capital crime!"
But the horse under him was unable to take a single step. In the blink of an eye, it seemed as if time had stopped for Cheng Yu.
He could still vaguely see Yunniang's white dress flashing among the woods.
The Yanzhou army abandoned the battle and fled to the woods, creating a gap that the Tartars thought was a way out.
Half of them immediately chased after the Yanzhou army, slaughtering them from behind while rushing into the woods.
Half of them continued with their original plan to capture the young leader. They lost this battle so badly that they had to make the Han people pay the price! When a woman's scream came from the woods, Cheng Yu's horse hooves moved.
But as soon as he moved, his reins were grasped by another fat hand. If he were not short, Wei Zhubo would have wanted to slap him.
I couldn't slap him, so I just condemned him with my eyes: "I told you that you would act on your emotions!"
"I will go and rescue your wife. You have to take the soldiers and kill all these bastards!"
Cheng Yu looked ashamed, but it was only for a moment. Soon, the shame turned into fighting spirit, and he raised his arms and shouted again: "Brothers, follow me!"
Just at this moment, Han Xing and Huo Zian, covered in blood, arrived with a small number of troops. Seeing this situation, Han Xing instinctively thought that Wei Zhubo was going to rescue the prince.
He did not even join up with Cheng Yu, but led his troops to assist Wei Zhubo, who had even fewer troops.
Huo Zian hesitated for a moment. In the face of such a righteous cause as killing the Tartars, his hatred for King Li seemed much lighter, and he immediately chased after Han Xing.
Although Cheng Yu tried his best to kill all the Tartars, more than 20 people still robbed the horses of the Yanzhou army and broke through the interception.
