19. You can't get out of the battle in the dark night
"Don't leave, then Hong Jing comes!"
A roar in the dark night made Hong Jinglai's heart skip a beat. Even though his mind reminded him countless times to stay calm, his hands and feet didn't listen to his mind's instructions at all. He just wanted to get on his horse quickly and run away.
The training soldiers arrayed in front of the palace gate turned to Hong Jinglai and rushed towards him. In the thick darkness on the left and right, there were also longing figures appearing. It was probably that there were thousands of people rounding up Hong Jinglai.
"Come Hong Jing, if you don't want to be captured without restraint, this dragnet will be set up just for you!"
Another voice came from the tower of Honghua Gate. Hong Jinglai ignored him. He was a fool not to run away at this time. He just stayed where he was because his brain was in trouble.
"If we leave again, the gun will be fired!"
"No guns fired!"
Well? Why are there still disagreements between people upstairs and downstairs? One wants to shoot and the other is not allowed to shoot. What kind of drama is going on in front of him? Hong Jing didn't have time to think about it, so he got on his horse and just walked away.
But dozens of horsemen and horses have already rushed out from the left and right, each with a weapon in hand. They are obviously prepared to kill Hong Jinglai and his group of ten people. Their horses have already started running, and we have just mounted, so we can only fight!
Pulling out the saber hanging on the horse, with a quick flash, the familiar battle between soldiers and horses returned to Hong Jinglai's hands. The nine guards, including Jin Shilong, also unsheathed their swords, patted their horses and rushed to the west. The west gate is where Han Wushi is.
There are still hundreds of teaching soldiers, all slaves and slaves that Hong Jinglai personally unchained and released, and they are loyal to Hong Jinglai.
"Go to the west gate and charge!" With a flourish of the blade, Hong Jinglai casually threw the big hat that was an eyesore to the ground.
Jin Shilong blew his whistle, and all the guards followed him, some covering Hong Jinglai's left and right sides, and some standing in front of Hong Jinglai's horse. They were the men Hong Jinglai had selected from the slaves who raised horses at the post station. They were skilled in equestrian skills and were good at swordsmanship and spears.
, the most daring to fight.
About twenty or thirty cavalry came towards them. They were not wearing armor, but they were just wearing strong clothes, but it could be roughly seen that they were good riders. It must have been someone's guard cavalry, specifically to prevent Hong Jinglai from escaping, and rushed out first.
The skills of these people were naturally not comparable to those around Hong Jinglai who had gone through the test of war and attacked dozens of inns. The fittest had to survive and the fittest were eliminated. The momentum alone was incomparable.
Especially Jin Shilong, who has martial arts and excellent equestrian skills. Even at night, it does not hinder his performance at all. He just protects Hong Jinglai's left wing and uses his saber to chop. Hong Jinglai only needs to use his heart, so he withdraws it at this moment.
I regained my composure and finally functioned normally, staring straight ahead with my eyes.
Without distinguishing the figure, he only looked at the blade of the blade. Cold light flashed across his hand. He raised the blade and slashed the chest of an enemy rider who was charging towards him, splattering blood all over his face.
The confrontation between the dozens of cavalry on both sides was brief, just a face-to-face encounter. The ten cavalry on Hong Jinglai's side were still riding steadily on their horses, but the number of enemy cavalry rushing past Hong Jinglai was obviously thinner.
After rushing over, of course it was impossible to turn around and fight again, so everyone just rushed westward. They rushed their horses fiercely and did not dare to stop. However, they could not see their figures in the night, and hundreds of people and horses emerged from the darkness, all of them infantry.
Just as he was about to continue charging forward, Jin Shilong's sharp eyes spotted many small sparks among the enemy.
That's the light of the match rope!
"Lower your head and charge!" Jin Shilong could only shout this quickly, and the matchlock gun on the opposite side opened fire.
There was a loud crackle of fried beans, and at least thirty or forty matchlock guns opened fire. Caught off guard, as soon as Hong Jing came here, three people were knocked off their horses. Another one seemed to have been shot, but he was holding the horse's neck and
Didn't fall off the horse immediately.
The enemy cavalry and infantry from the training camp were also chasing after him. There was no time to care about the fallen guards. Jin Shilong just followed Hong Jinglai's horse and ran away while ignoring the soldiers who had finished firing in front of him.
Fortunately, the horse under Hong Jinglai's lap was a good horse that had experienced great wars. It was familiar with the roar of cannons and muskets. If it were an ordinary horse, it would have been frightened by such a loud noise, and Hong Jinglai would have been frightened on the spot, causing Hong Jinglai to fall off his horse.
It's also possible.
He swung his sword to kill an enemy soldier who was blocking the road, but saw the voices of people in all the streets around him, like an ambush from all sides, so the other five people except Jin Shilong turned their horses and shouted "Hong Jinglai is here!" and separated.
They drove their horses in two directions, one to the east and one to the south.
These shouts were very useful. Although the enemy troops had already set up torches, how could the soldiers recognize Hong Jinglai's appearance? Since there were people shouting in the darkness and running away on horseback. Naturally, many people spread out to meet that person.
Two sides, just to catch the possible "Hong Jinglai".
Although it is very dangerous for those guards to do this, they are willing to do it!
"Mr. Fuyuan, let's leave quickly!" Jin Shilong looked back and forth at Hong Jing, as if he was reluctant to leave, and immediately spoke out a reminder, speaking quickly and urgently.
"Let's go!" Hong Jinglai didn't hesitate and just responded.
The two of them went one after another, looking for a place with few people, and rushed forward. However, there were too many soldiers and horses surrounding them, and even here there were dozens of people. Except for the north and south cross streets, the rest
The small street is not spacious, so it seems crowded once two horses enter, let alone dozens of people.
Fortunately, the street is narrow, and the enemy soldiers on the opposite side probably have no long weapons to use in the streets and alleys. They are just waist knives and the like. At this moment, there are only four or five people who can attack Hong Jinglai and Jin Shilong head-on. The two of them are so fierce right now.
He was running for his life, and the courage he showed was no less than ten times that of the enemy soldiers. Naturally, he was killing and slashing continuously, just to survive.
The enemy soldiers were just serving as soldiers to eat, and there were wives and children waiting at home. Seeing that Jin Shilong and Hong Jinglai were so brave and killed four or five people in a row, they were frightened and did not dare to step forward again.
There was no joy of escaping. Hong Jinglai shook his head casually, shook off the hair stuck to his face, and walked away as soon as he caught the horse's belly. The gap he finally got was not to be missed.
"Whoever captures Hong Jing will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!" A shout came from behind.
The enemy soldiers who had been discouraged suddenly became energetic, as the saying goes, a brave man must be rewarded with a big reward. They didn't know whether the person in front of them was Hong Jinglai, but what if he was? If they caught Hong Jinglai, they would get a huge reward of one thousand taels of silver.
, enough for any one of them to become a wealthy small landowner in the countryside.
Hong Jinglai's heart tightened. Who was going to capture him? How could Hanyang City, which was supposed to be stable, kill thousands or even thousands of enemy soldiers?
Before he could think about it, the BMW suddenly fell down, and his front hooves stuck into a shallow pit on the ground, knocking Hong Jinglai to the ground hard. Hong Jinglai was smashed to pieces, almost to the point of fainting.
Chapter completed!
