The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 55

Time flies, and half a month is approaching in the blink of an eye.

In the middle of the night, Wan Jianfeng sat alone in the tent, drinking wine and admiring the moon.Soon he drank a gourd of wine to the last drop, lay down on the simple wooden couch, and fell into a deep sleep.

In his sleep, Wan Jianfeng vaguely heard the sound of horseshoes and occasional shouts of orders.Although the sound of horseshoes could not tell whether it was an enemy or a friend, the person who gave the order spoke extremely fluent Chinese, and he was undoubtedly an official of the Song Dynasty.

Wan Jianfeng opened his eyes in an instant. Although his eyes were slightly drunk, his movements did not hesitate, and he rushed out of the tent with one stride.He was instantly stunned by the scene in front of him. He saw countless cavalry soldiers from the Great Song Dynasty pouring into the camp without knowing when, wielding broadswords and spears, chasing and killing many bewildered party men.Even though Yue Chun rushed out of the tent and led the people to rise up to resist, he was eventually killed by the Song army because he was outnumbered, and many of his subordinates died on the spot.

The dark red blood dyed the ground red, and the mournful wailing sounded straight to the heavens. In an instant, many party men died tragically in front of Wan Jianfeng.Such a scene can no longer be described as a war, but a massacre, a premeditated and tragic massacre!

Wan Jianfeng was about to pull out his handsome stick and come forward to help, but he saw that Li Jiqian and Li Ruoyun had led people out and fought with the Song army.Seeing this, Wan Jianfeng couldn't care less, and immediately jumped in to help the two of them.

For a while, both sides fought with swords and guns, fighting until the sky was dark and the moon was dark.In the dead desert, there are endless shouts, roars, screams, and the sound of gold and iron. These sounds are louder and louder, making people extremely excited and chilling.

While the crowd was fighting, a young woman's shrill voice suddenly came, shouting: "Jiqian! Save us, Jiqian, save us..." This voice is familiar to everyone, isn't it just Li Jiqian's wife Wang Shi? ?

Li Jiqian waved the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow and fought a bloody battle with a dozen Song soldiers. Hearing this voice, he instinctively paused, and his extremely sharp sword technique instantly revealed flaws.A cavalryman holding a spear took advantage of the situation and stabbed Li Jiqian in the chest.Li Jiqian only felt that the evil wind was not good, so he quickly recovered his senses and wanted to block it with a knife, but it was still a step too late, and the spear pierced straight into his chest.

"Ah!" Li Jiqian roared, broke the spear with one hand, and slashed at the cavalryman with the other hand.The cavalry didn't expect that Li Jiqian could still have such supernatural power after being seriously injured. He was immediately decapitated by Daxia Longque, and his head rolled to the ground.Blood gushed out of Li Jiqian's chest, and he collapsed to the ground like a seriously injured lion.

Li Ruoyun's swordsmanship became more and more sharp, killing more than a dozen Song soldiers in a few moves, and strode towards Li Jiqian.With a horizontal sword in his chest and burning eyes, he used his tall body to block Li Jiqian behind him.Song Jun saw that Li Ruoyun had descended into the world like a king kong, and he was too old to come to the world. For a while, no one dared to take another half step forward.

Wan Jianfeng was not idle for a moment, swiping away Song Jun's weapon with a handsome stick in his hand, his body was like a swimming fish, he was able to shuttle freely among thousands of troops, and rushed towards the direction where Wang Shi was screaming .

Soon, Wan Jianfeng left Di Jinze far behind, and continued to run forward alone.He did not ride a horse, and only wore a pair of worn-out straw sandals on his feet. He ran in the desert full of yellow sand, but he was still able to walk like flying.

After he ran for less than half an hour, he saw a dimly lit military camp in the distance, and a dozen or so Song soldiers were patrolling back and forth in front of the camp gate.Seeing this, Wan Jianfeng quickly went around in the opposite direction. Fortunately, only a pair of soldiers were looking for the camp, and they got in without much effort.

Wan Jianfeng had never been in a formal military camp, and walked around for a long time between tents next to each other before approaching the tent of the Chinese army commander.As soon as he arrived near the handsome tent, he heard a man inside say coldly: "Old guy, Li Jiqian led the crowd to escape from Yinzhou City in open disobedience to the imperial decree, and he should be punished by the nine clans for his crimes! For the sake of it, as long as you are willing to persuade him to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty and lead the tribe to Tokyo to apologize, I will give you a way out, otherwise the entire Tuoba tribe will be buried for him!"

As soon as the man's words fell, an old woman said resolutely: "Cao, you don't want to cry like a cat and a mouse and pretend to be merciful! You just want the old man to persuade Jiqian to surrender, so you can easily get rid of our Tuoba clan. It's just annihilation, you wishful thinking!"

The voice of the man in the tent, Wan Jianfeng, was very familiar. It was Cao Guangshi whom he met at the gate of Yinzhou a few days ago, and that old woman was undoubtedly Li Jiqian's mother, Deng Shi.

He was thinking about how to rescue him, when Cao Guangshi threatened again: "Little lady, your mother-in-law is old and confused, and doesn't know the current affairs, don't you know the reason? The reason why I invited you here is nothing more than Why do you all misunderstand my good intentions when you want to kill some people from Master Tuoba?"

"Little lady?" Wan Jianfeng was slightly taken aback, and thought to himself, "It's not good! Could it be that Cao Guangshi not only captured Li Jiqian's mother, but also his wife? If Li Jiqian doesn't surrender, Cao Guangshi may not be real What will happen to Mrs. Deng, but it's hard to say to the young and beautiful Mrs. Wang!"

Sure enough, Wang's voice came from the tent, "General Cao, I am a woman and I don't know what current affairs are. I only know that my father is from the Tuoba tribe, my mother-in-law is from the Tuoba tribe, and my husband is also from the Tuoba tribe." If anyone from the tribe of the Babu tribe dares to harm the Tuoba tribe, I will fight him to the end even if I risk my life!"

Wang's tone was very tough, not a bit weaker than her mother-in-law, every word they said was like a sharp knife, to Cao Guangshi's ears, it was not only harsh but also pierced into the heart.

Although Wan Jianfeng couldn't understand what they were talking about, he could guess some points from the tone of voice, and a few drops of cold sweat broke out from his forehead.He hit his forehead lightly with his fist a few times, and murmured in a low voice: "Li Jiqian, your mother and wife are really heroines, but their words are too sharp, and every sentence stabs Cao Guangshi on the gate of life." He will definitely not let these two girls go! If Cao Guangshi cut off their heads before I rescued them, wouldn't it be a shame for this young hero?"

But when he heard the sound of "Cang Xiao" coming from inside the tent, Cao Guangshi pulled out the saber from his waist, walked towards the old lady Deng step by step, and let out chilling laughter continuously.Not to mention the two women, even Wan Jianfeng felt his vest was cold, his hairs were blown, and his hands trembled subconsciously when he heard his laughter.

Wan Jianfeng knew that Cao Guangshi was just trying to scare the two of them, and he didn't really want to kill them. He planned to wait for a good time before attacking, but suddenly there were a lot of hoofbeats outside the camp.The sound of horseshoes stepping on the yellow sand was much quieter than usual, but nearly a thousand people came at the same time, and it was still deafening like thunder rolling in the ears.

"Whoosh!" Wan Jianfeng took off the wine gourd from his waist, and threw it towards Cao Guangshi's blurred figure, and then the figure flickered, and he had already arrived in the handsome tent.Seeing someone sneaking up on him, Cao Guang was slightly shocked, but he didn't dodge the wine gourd flying across the sky for a while, and felt a sharp pain on his forehead.

"It's you again, the stinky beggar!" Cao Guangshi saw that the person who came was Wan Jianfeng, pointed at him and said angrily, "You are a Han, but you forget your ancestors, willing to sacrifice your life for the party members, it is really shameless! This general will not kill you today. You, it's hard to calm down the anger in your chest!"

Wan Jianfeng had already pulled out his stick, and was about to hit Cao Guangshi with it, but he froze instantly after hearing his words.He always had a playful smile on his face, but at this moment he was more serious than ever. He seemed to be deeply touched by Cao Guangshi's words.

Seeing him stunned, Cao Guangshi stabbed Wan Jianfeng's eyebrows with the long sword in his hand, and the strong wind from the sword blew against Wan Jianfeng's face, pulling him back from his thoughts.He hurriedly turned to the side, dodged Cao Guangshi's sword, and swung his handsome stick to fight Cao Guangshi.

Wan Jianfeng thought that he could defeat Cao Guangshi within a few strokes, but he realized that he was wrong when he fought.Although Cao Guangshi's swordsmanship is not magnificent, but his moves are all acquired by him in his life as a soldier. Not only are they extremely fierce, but they also have an awe-inspiring killing spirit, which is by no means comparable to ordinary moves.

It took less than ten strokes between the two of them to come and go, and the Song army of the brigade had already returned to the tent, and surrounded the handsome tent like an iron bucket in the blink of an eye.Seeing this, Mrs. Deng gave a wry smile, and shouted: "Young man Wan, Jiqian is willing to stand up for the party. As his mother, I have no regrets in dying! If you can still see Jiqian in this life, you must tell him 'open The bow has no turning back arrow, so don't stop for your mother!'”

After she finished speaking, she slammed into the solid wooden table in the middle of the handsome tent without hesitation, until her seven orifices bleed and her brain burst.Seeing this, Wang also imitated Mrs. Deng, slamming his head against the wooden table, and died in an instant.They are like moths to the flame, knowing that their souls will fly away and turn into a wisp of insignificant green smoke, but for the ideal and light in their hearts, they still go forward without complaint or regret!
Wan Jianfeng suddenly felt pity in his heart, and his eyes turned slightly red, but he didn't want to sacrifice himself in vain, so he stomped his feet fiercely and rushed out of the commander's tent.Seeing this, the Song army swarmed forward with weapons, Wan Jianfeng had to keep brandishing his sticks, fighting and retreating.

Cao Guangshi's words kept echoing in his mind. Many times he could put the person in front of him to death, but he changed his tactics temporarily and let the person live.Even so, there are still many people who are seriously injured and fall to the ground yelling.

Not long after, the impeccable formation of the Song army was smashed to pieces by Wan Jianfeng.Some Song Jun fell to the ground, some did not dare to step forward, and some ran away with their heads in their arms, as if they were the weaker side.

But after all, Wan Jianfeng was fighting with nearly a thousand officers and soldiers by himself, and with his limited martial arts skills, he was out of breath after fighting, and the offensive in his hands was a little scattered.But he was not willing to die here, so he used all his strength to charge outwards, and finally escaped to the edge of the big tent.

Cao Guangshi refused to let him escape under his nose, and he chased after him brandishing his long sword. How could Cao Guangshi's swordsmanship be comparable to that of ordinary officers and soldiers.

Suddenly, Wan Jianfeng was tripped by an extra tripping rope at the gate of the camp. He fell to the ground, and the handsome stick in his hand took off his hand and flew out.Cao Guangshi laughed out loud, the long sword in his hand was pressed against his throat, Wan Jianfeng could only close his eyes and wait for death.

Cao Guangshi was not in a hurry to kill him, but ordered: "Come here, tie him up to this general!" He thought to himself, "If Li Jiqian is a hero, he will definitely not put his friends' lives at risk. When the time comes to capture Li Jiqian, This will be a great achievement!"

"Yes!" All the officers and soldiers responded, and presented Wan Jianfeng's handsome stick to Cao Guangshi, and tied him up.Wan Jianfeng looked at the rope tied on his body, and shouted: "Hey! I'm not a zongzi, why are there so many loops? Aren't you afraid that this young hero will be strangled to death?"

Song Jun seemed to have never heard his words, and pushed him into a simple wooden warehouse, and hung a heavy and large iron lock to lock the door firmly.Don't say that people are locked inside, even if it is a fierce beast, it is absolutely difficult to break through the lock.

The rope that bound Wan Jianfeng was extremely strong, and after a little struggle, it would become tighter and tighter, as if it was going to be embedded into his flesh alive.Wan Jianfeng simply calmed down, lying on the ground exhausted, panting continuously.

He fell to the ground motionless, and many past events, many familiar or unfamiliar faces kept appearing in his mind.Some of these memories are warm, some sweet, some horrifying, and some boring, but they are all his personal experiences over the years, and he has never had the time to think about them. emotion.
