These swordsmen had never deliberately trained in military formations, but each of their movements was extremely swift. The formation was a basic attacking array, and in the blink of an eye, they had already formed it.
The Korean troops were initially unprepared for the sudden encounter with this group of people, and they were slightly caught off guard. Just as they had formed a encirclement, the two sides met, and immediately a small gap was broken through, but the people on both sides quickly surrounded them, holding them back.
The swordsman in front fought desperately to open a bloody path, Che Yun Dao said, "Escort Mr. out!"
Song Chu was right in the middle of this formation, with blood splashing all around her from the intense fighting. She took a look and saw that the Korean soldiers had bows and arrows in their hands, but they didn't use them, probably because the Korean ruler hadn't decided to kill her yet.
As long as she is here, the Korean army will not easily use bows and crossbows. The swordsmen only need to deal with close combat, they have high martial arts skills and some chance of winning. If she leaves, the Korean army will no longer have any scruples, and these swordsmen are likely to lose at least half of their lives here. And then they still have to go through Wei State, if there are too few people, it's hard to say whether they can approach Hangu Pass
In an instant, Song Chuyi made a decision and shouted loudly, "Together in life and death!"
Those swordsmen did not know how many things Song Chuyi thought in his mind at this moment, but hearing that Song Chuyi was so righteous, the will to fight became even stronger, and the bronze sword in his hand swung more fiercely.
In the midst of chaos, a sharp whistle suddenly rang out
Song Chuanyi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as the two sides below were locked in a fierce battle, and it was completely unsuitable to change formations, so they could only fight hard!
That group of Korean soldiers had no intention of capturing Song Chuyi alive, but were dragging things out, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and with a sea of people, they could drown the dozen or so men.
"Sir! It's too late, let's go quickly!" Dragging on like this, Che Yun gradually started to get anxious.
"Mr. Huaijin, hurry up!"
"Hurry up, sir!"
The swordsmen cleared a path while shouting
Seeing that they couldn't break through for the time being, Song ChuYi also knew it was time to leave and shouted at Zhao YiLou and Ji Yan to slowly move outwards along the bloody path they had cleared.
The Korean army saw this and immediately surrounded them, the fierce battle in front suddenly intensified several times.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, his heart was as calm as ever, like a quiet lake in the midst of noise, so he was the first to feel the unusual vibrations coming from the ground.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, a light and easy-to-lift sound was caught in the midst of many noisy voices. That was the sound of the ground under the trampling of the mighty army's hooves.
She slightly changed her expression, grasped the hilt of her sword and rushed into the midst of the swordsmen and the Korean army's fierce battle.
Zhao Yilou and Ji Bian immediately followed suit.
Song Chu Er's brocade was not very good, but there were several swordsmen who protected her. The Han army was afraid of killing her, so they quickly broke through a gap. Song Chu Er seized the opportunity and galloped out suddenly, followed by Ji Yan, Zhao Yi, Lou Che Yun, and Bai Reng, who successively broke out of the encirclement.
At the beginning of Song Dynasty, a horse was swept away by a torrent of horses galloping from behind, and it started to carry her running desperately with its hooves kicking up dust like cotton wool.
A large number of Korean troops who were supposed to provide backup arrived on the open field, spreading out like a tidal wave. The leading cavalrymen rushed forward like a swarm of arrows and soon approached Song Chuyi, who was less than 100 yards away from his back.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, all that could be heard was the whistling wind, and in the swaying line of sight, the forest and fields were like rolling waves passing by from underfoot. At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from behind.
The merchant's horse team on the road was scattered, and suddenly the sound of women's screams and wails rose, which stood out particularly in such a solemn environment. Song Chuyi held the reins with one hand and tightly grasped the hilt of her sleeve sword with the other, the sweat seeping from her palm making her feel as if it might slip from her grasp at any moment, so she tightened her grip again until her knuckles turned white.
After running for a long time, a blurry vision of an earthen city wall appeared in front of Song Chuyi, far away, but he saw the dark red armor on the city tower - it was the Wei army! With a determined heart, he turned around and rushed over.
Che Yun was shocked in his heart, isn't this a sheep entering a tiger's mouth! But in an instant he also understood Song Chuyi's meaning.
"Whoosh!"
A sudden arrow sound burst in her ear, and Song Chuyi immediately pressed her body to the horse's back.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of "whooshing" kept rising, and it can be seen that the Korean army found it hopeless to chase after them, so they immediately began to shoot arrows and kill.
"Follow me!" Song Chuoyi shouted with all his might
"Hey!" was Chuyun and Jibian's concise yet powerful response.
There was a swordsman in the rear blocking arrows, Song Chu initially focused his spirit and urged his horse to gallop rapidly, rushing straight towards that city gate. When there were still twenty zhang left, he suddenly turned his horse's head and ran northward, where the distance from the Han army was farther away.
The car cloud and others behind also immediately turned around, only to hear the war drum on the city wall suddenly ringing out. The Wei army general shouted loudly, "Han's army is attacking the city, close the city gate, respond to battle!"
At this moment, a large number of Korean troops are hundreds of meters away and have stopped advancing, but for the two armies, it is already the most threatening distance!
When Han's army made a move, the Wei army had already received news. Although it was clear that they were pursuing Song Chuyi, they came with great momentum this time. What if they attacked the city under the guise of something else? So we must be vigilant and not take anything lightly!
Led by Song Chu Yi, the crowd stuck to the city wall and galloped. The Wei army also received a secret order to intercept Song Chu Yi, but at this moment, the Korean army was pressing the border, they did not dare to let the archers remove their defenses and turn to shoot arrows at Song Chu Yi, so they had to send out another team of light cavalry to prepare for an ambush from the west.
They galloped for nearly half a day, and since there were no pursuing soldiers behind them, everyone's speed gradually slowed down.
Che Yun exclaimed, "Sir has the demeanor of a great general!"
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, he was thrown off and his whole body was scattered all over the place, lying on the horse's back, his head still dizzy, and he smiled at himself, "Have you ever seen such a cowardly general?"
Che Yun smiled, turned around and counted the number of people again, and lost more than 20 people. It was already extremely difficult to escape from the siege of the large army! The remaining number of people was still above his expected estimate.
"Mr. Song!"
A familiar voice came from afar
The swordsmen's bodies tensed up again, Song Chuoyi propped himself up and looked back, only to see a white horse with a round meatball sitting on it, its whole body shaking, but it was Song Chuoyi who had met Zhen Jun before.
"It's an acquaintance," Song Chuyi said softly.
Those swordsmen relaxed a little, but their hands were still on the hilts of their swords.
Zhen Jun was also a very perceptive person, he knew that Song Chu Yi was currently being pursued and intercepted by various countries, so he must be on guard. Therefore, he stopped at a distance of two or three zhang (about 6-9 meters) away and asked, "Does the gentleman still remember Zhen Jun?"
"I wonder where Mr. Zhen went?" Song Chu smiled slightly and bowed.
"Some followed the master here!" Zhen Jun saw the swordsman next to Song Chu and immediately explained, "In the eastern street of Wei State, I met Master's demeanor, feeling that under the vast sky, only Master can be called a true national scholar. So he sold his property in Wei State and followed Master's footsteps here!"
As for the first half of the sentence, Song ChuYi just brushed it off, what she cared about was the second half - following in her footsteps? This Zhen Jun seemed to have been waiting here long ago, and it's really not simple.
"Mr. Zhen's ingenious calculation" Song Dynasty, first year
Zhen Junming knew she was suspicious, but still smiled and said, "Sir, you overpraise me. After arriving in Wei State, I learned that you were trapped, and just wanted to think of a way to communicate with you. Then I heard that a Qin person rescued you, so I guessed that you would pass through this place. I specially waited here for you. If you still trust me, please let me escort you into Qin!"
The merchant's ambition is not just about making a profit, but also about expanding the Zhen family. In this era of great contention, there are many opportunities, and the most direct and risky way is to support a talented person with all one's might, becoming their right-hand man, and waiting for that person to become a pillar of the state, at which point the entire Zhen family will also rise to prominence.
This is undoubtedly a high-stakes gamble
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one could easily understand the benefit relationship. What she had to do now was to accept or refuse.
"Good" is one of the earliest Daoist classics
Che Yun glanced at Zhen Jun, but didn't stop him either. If Zhen Jun had the ability to escort Song Chuyi into Qin, then he would have had the strength to surround and kill them right now. Since he hadn't done so, it meant that he was genuinely planning to follow Song Chuyi for the sake of strengthening their clan.
Zhen Jun's heart was filled with great joy, and he let out a loud whistle. From over 100 meters away, more than 400 swordsmen on horseback rushed out of the forest.
Che Yun was taken aback for a moment and didn't expect such a big fanfare.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one's heart was filled with mixed emotions of joy and worry. It seemed like a free gain, but today's gains would mean shouldering greater responsibilities in the future. Famous people seem to have opportunities brought to their doorstep, but it is precisely because of this that many people are burdened by fame.
Zhen Jun drove his horse forward, and the carriage clouded over, not allowing anyone to block him. Under such a disparity in strength, Zhen Jun came alone on horseback, which was equivalent to giving them peace of mind, and they could take him as a hostage to control the actions of those hundreds of swordsmen. If he had any ill intentions, there would be no need for him to show his sincerity like this.
Zun Dao said, "Sir, you plan to enter Qin from Hangu Pass, but I'm afraid it will be difficult. I heard that the King of Wei has sent out the Wei Wu cavalry to ambush you before Hangu Pass."
"This is also within expectation," Song Chu said, "Do you have a better way?"
Since it was expected, the people of Qin must have a solution, which is beyond doubt.
"I see Mr. Guan's actions are hard to conceal mainly because......" Zhen Jun's gaze turned towards Zhao Yilou and Bai Jing
Indeed, with a head of snow-white hair and a majestic wolf, a handsome young man who doesn't seem to be from this world, it's strange that he can hide his true self. The one leaning against the building is somewhat better off, as he has been hiding himself very well since before, even Song Chuyi didn't notice at first how good-looking he was
"I can arrange for someone to escort this young brother and the wolf from the mountains to Qin, Mr. and you all mixed into Zhen's merchant group, perhaps it will avoid suspicion" Zhen Jun said
Che Yun thought this idea was not bad, he only needed to be responsible for protecting Song Chuyi's safety, as long as Song Chuyi was under his care, the rest was not within his scope of responsibility.
