桑昆见爱子被敌人以迅雷不及掩耳的手段从众军之中擒去,又气又急,只得暂撤军马,命部下用大车结成圆圈,在土山四周密密层层的围了七八重。
Sang Kun was angry and anxious when he saw Aizi was captured from the army by the enemy in a lightning flash. He had to withdraw his troops and horses temporarily. He ordered his men to form a circle with carts, and surrounded the mountain in seven or eight layers.
这边山上铁木真连声夸奖郭靖,命他用腰带将都史反背缚起。桑昆接连派了三名使者上山谈判,命铁木真放出都史,然后投降,就可饶他性命。铁木真每次都将使者割了双耳逐下山去。
Tiemuzhen repeatedly praised Guo Jing on the mountain and ordered him to tie Dushi Fan with a belt. Sang Kun sent three envoys to the mountain to negotiate, and ordered Tiemuzhen to release Dushi, and then surrender to save his life. Tiemuzhen cut his ears and drove the messenger down the mountain every time.
次日,铁木真道:“救兵不来,咱们就战死在这土山之上。”郭靖忽道:“大汗,我这匹红马脚力快极,你骑了回去,领兵来打。”铁木真微笑,抚了抚他的头,说道:“铁木真要是抛下朋友部将,怕死逃走,那便不是你们的大汗了。”
The next day, Tiemuzhen said, “If the rescuers don’t come, we will die on this mountain.” Guo Jing suddenly said, “Khan, my red horse is very powerful. You ride back and lead the soldiers to fight.” Tiemuzhen smiled, stroked his head, and said, “If Tiemuzhen left his friend’s general and ran away afraid of death, it would not be your sweat.”
过了一阵,一面黄旗从桑昆队伍中越众而出,旗下三人连辔走到山边,左是桑昆,右是札木合,中间一人赫然是大金国的六王子赵王完颜洪烈。
After a while, a yellow flag emerged from Sangkun’s team. Three people under the flag walked to the side of the mountain by bridle. Sangkun was on the left and Zamuhe was on the right. The middle one was the sixth prince of the Great Jin Kingdom, Wang Wanyan Honglie of Zhao.
只听完颜洪烈叫道:“铁木真,你胆敢背叛大金么?”铁木真的长子术赤对准了他嗖的一箭,完颜洪烈身旁纵出一人,一伸手把箭绰在手中,身手矫捷之极。
Only Wanyan Honglie shouted: “Tiemuzhen, do you dare to betray Dajin?” Tiemuzhen’s eldest son, Shu Chi, aimed at his swish arrow. A man jumped up beside Wanyan Honglie and held the arrow in his hand. His skill was extremely agile.
完颜洪烈喝道:“去将铁木真擒来。”四个人应声扑上山来。郭靖见四人使的都是轻身功夫,竟是武林好手。四人奔到半山时,山上连珠箭下,都被他们用软盾挡开。
Wanyan Honglie shouted, “Go and catch Tiemuzhen.” The four men rushed up the mountain. Guo Jing saw that the four men were all light kung fu, and they were good at martial arts. When the four people ran to the middle of the mountain, they used soft shields to block the arrows from falling on the mountain.
