Chapter 116: Fight to Fame
The battle to defend the city briefly came to an end at the end of the day, and the Beiyi people retreated to a safe place to rest again.
The Yanmen soldiers, who also stayed awake all night, were finally able to take turns taking a nap when the morning dew evaporated.
The sun had just climbed the mountain, and before it could shine to the extreme, the horn sounded in the Yanmen, and the napping soldiers woke up and trotted to the front of the tower.
There were only two generals left in Yanmen, the general frowned and looked into the distance, turned around and exchanged glances, as if he had made up a certain determination, and the soldiers who could defend the city under the city were only two or three out of ten in the heyday, and ordered: "The young people who are thirteen to fifteen years old stay in place and stand by, and the rest of the people go to the city wall to prepare for battle!"
There is no need to go up to the city wall to prepare for the battle, Fang Jiabao was overjoyed, looking around, there were less than ten people between the ages of thirteen and fifteen, including Pei Shuo.
The soldiers ran past Pei Shuo and ascended the city tower one after another. Pei Shuo lowered his head, and the hand hanging on the side of his thigh was clenched into a fist, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were fully displayed.
Their own centurion and Pei Bo trotted down against the flow of people, and stood to count the number of people: "Follow me." ”
Step by step away from the north gate, they first met with a few soldiers pushing the cart, and the boy who was also thirteen to fifteen years old was lying on the cart and walked to the Yanmen Gate together, when he stepped out of the Yanmen, Fang Jiabao had a guess, and a blush of excitement appeared on his face.
Pei Shuo had a bad premonition in his heart and asked, "Centurion, where are we going?"
"What are you doing so much, little rabbit!" the centurion glanced at him, "just come with me, not to feed you to the tiger!"
"At present, I am young, but I hope to live and die with Yanmen, and I wish you all a smooth journey. Pei Shuo clenched his fists and ran away.
He made light efforts, for fear that Pei Bo would react and detain him with his long hand, so he wouldn't be able to run away.
The centurion held a mouthful of old blood in his heart, "You rabbit cub come back to me!"
However, Pei Shuo ran away from the smoke, and vaguely heard him scream, as if he had broken free from the cage.
"Centurion, you take them away first, and I'll go back as soon as I go. Pei Bo was also helpless, he didn't expect that Pei Shuo would be stubborn in this joint eye, but he couldn't let him put himself in danger.
Fang Jiabao muttered in the crowd, isn't it good to be alive?
In order to prevent being chased and taken away by Pei Bo, Pei Shuo made a special detour to help the military doctor, and after all calculations, he forgot Li Yongwu of the Xiliu Battalion......
Li Yongwu mentioned him, and the fox asked: "Didn't you talk to the centurion, why did you come back again?"
"Yes, I'm back, Centurion they're still on their way and haven't come back so soon. Pei Shuo said lightly.
Li Yongwu narrowed his eyes and judged whether what he said was true or false.
Pei Shuo tried to move Li Yongwu with sincerity, but unfortunately he was not fooled: "No, you ran back secretly!"
“……”
Pei Bo caught up and pointed Pei Shuo's acupuncture points, taught him not to move, and then hugged his fists and explained to Li Yongwu: "Thank you for the block, Pei Shuo suddenly fled back halfway to help, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how to explain to the centurion." ”
Li Yongwu's eyes roamed back and forth between Pei Bo and Pei Shuo, "Well, you send him away." Boy, you are still young, and when you grow up, you will be loyal to the country, and you are not in a hurry. He finished talking to Pei Bo first, and then turned around to mention Pei Shuo.
Poor Pei Shuo was clicked on the acupoint, unable to move and unable to speak, desperately signaling with his eyes, Li Yongwu and the two pretended not to see it.
Pei Bo picked up Pei Shuo and strode away, watching himself get farther and farther away from Yanmen.
Very angry!
Out of Yanmen, Pei Bo chased in the direction of the large army, and said: "Young master, please don't blame me, you are the eldest son of the founding marquis, although the Hou Ye once said that life and death in Yanmen are fateful, it is just a momentary angry talk." At present, Yanmen is in danger, and the general orders the centurion to evacuate with soldiers under the age of fifteen, all in order to save the seedlings. As Li Yongwu said, you are still young, and it is not your turn to go to the front line halfway at this time. ”
Still angry!
"Young master, if you don't want me, I'll assume that you understand, but I'm still angry. ”
How can there be a person like you? Pei Shuo was angry like a pufferfish, unable to make a voice and unable to refute.
The road surface on the ridge trembled faintly, and Pei Bo's voice stopped abruptly.
Pei Shuo is also worried, is the Yanmen broken?
He took Pei Shuo to hide behind a tree, knelt down, and listened to the situation with his ears close to the ground: "It's the sound of horses' hooves, and a team of cavalry is coming here." Young master, don't make a sound, if you promise to blink your eyes three times in a row, I will unlock your acupoint. ”
Pei Shuo said.
The two of them hid behind a tree and squatted in the grass, their eyes rolling.
Not long after, a team of well-armored light horsemen came to the dust, with "Pei" written on the fluttering flag, and the crossbow machine was drawn with dark lines on the background.
It's Pei Jiajun, Pei Zhengwen is the leader!
Pei Shuo and Pei Bo glanced at each other, and the two walked out of the grass and stood on the side of the road.
Pei Zheng held the reins steadily, and Pei Bu, Pei Chong and Pei Yang behind him did not expect to meet their young master here at this moment.
Pei Shuo pretended not to know them, hugged his fist and reported the battalion and name he belonged to and explained the reason for his appearance here, and petitioned: "Thanks to the general's fist and love, the existing support of General Pei can be inspired, I ask to return to Yanmen, protect the family and defend the country, and live and die with my brothers!"
Pei Bo sighed secretly, his heart was so tired.
Pei Zheng stared at him steadily for a long time, and he was right, but he wanted Pei Shuo to follow him and not leave his sight.
……
The Yanmen who were struggling to defend finally waited for support, and the Pei family army who came not only had light horses, but also brought crossbowmen and heavy crossbows.
Seeing the beacon warning, Pei Zhengwen immediately ordered troops to march quickly, and when he arrived, he didn't see the soldiers tired, and went to the city wall to replace his comrades, everything was in order.
The light crossbow shot the Beiyi people who climbed the ladder at close range, and set up bed crossbows and trebuchets to deter the city.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Beiyi people receded like a tide, and the general of Yanmen opened the city gate and rode out lightly.
At first, Beiyi planned to feign retreat to show weakness, leading them to open the city gate and then take advantage of the situation to kill in, but seeing that the cavalry this time were all tigers with bears and lute legs, and the military horses under their crotch were majestic, and they were not merciless in killing the enemy.
This is not a soldier of Yanmen!
The Beiyi people realized that the support of Yanmen had arrived, and as soon as the drums turned to ring the gold to withdraw the troops, they would not feint and retreat, and those who threw away their armor and abandoned their armor scattered as birds and beasts.
Pei Shuo followed Pei Zhengwen and rode his horse all the way to the border city of Beiyi.
The border city is in the southwest of Ping'an Town, where groundwater emerges, water and grass are abundant, and nomadic Beiyi people live here and gradually form towns.
Pei Jiajun's light cavalry entered the city, his face was sinister, and his cold armor was stained with blood. The arrival of the light cavalry caused panic among the people in the border city, who shouted in a language that Pei Shuo did not understand, and fled in all directions, and the ignorant children were taken away by their parents and hurriedly closed their doors.
In less than a cup of tea, the border city seemed empty.
"Let's go, don't worry about them, everyone is waiting in the City Lord's Mansion. Pei Zhengwen said.
Sure enough, as he expected, the shield soldiers in front of the City Lord's Mansion were arrayed, the archers aimed at them with their bows, the spearmen and sword soldiers were scattered, and they were strictly guarded, and the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were not many, but they were well-equipped, and they were on par with Pei Da's team.
"If you lead the team to attack the City Lord's Mansion, what will you plan to do?" Pei Dad suddenly asked Pei Shuo to test at this time.
Pei Shuo noticed that during the confrontation between them, the guards in front of the city lord's mansion did not move, and the bungalows in the border city formed alleys one by one, and the alleys led in all directions, and there was a faint relationship between the two......
Speaking of which, when they pursued the fleeing Beiyi generals and soldiers here, they disappeared, and where did those people go? Did they enter the city lord's mansion, or they hid in the streets and alleys, like poisonous snakes, snooping on them in the dark, if they slacked off, these poisonous snakes would be caught off guard and bite.
Secretly calculating in his heart, in an instant, Pei Shuo opened his mouth and said: "The soldiers are divided into two ways, one way is to confuse the other party with the Xuanxiang Array to attract their attention, and the other way is to outflank the other with a goose-shaped array......
Before he could finish speaking, Pei Dad raised his hand to stop his words and ordered Pei Jiajun to obey Pei Shuo's orders.
Pei Shuo was stunned at the moment.
"I don't agree with your idea, I'll give you people, knock down this city lord's mansion, and prove that your idea is right. Pei Dad said. "Would you like to make a military order?"
The veteran on the side was suddenly anxious, no matter who this little descendant is, he is a small soldier or an indescribable character, Hou Ye's actions are too hasty, this is in the border city, Beiyi's territory, not a drill!
His lips twitched, and he hesitated to speak, but Pei Dad's eye knife flew in, warning him not to speak indiscriminately.
And Pei Shuo himself was not ambiguous, and almost did not hesitate to set up a military order to dispatch manpower.
The granary in the east city was on fire, and the soldiers and horses in front of the city lord's mansion were menacing.
The people of Beiyi hurriedly fled out, crying in the smoke of gunpowder, swords and lights, horses' hooves stepping on the moon, and the strong and powerful Pei cavalry behind the flying dust were eyeing each other.
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion were uneasy, and the people's hearts were disheartened, and it was when Pei Shuo sent out his troops.
The cavalry here is not hiding behind the smoke, and the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were about to give the order to release arrows, when they suddenly felt a sore throat, their minds were blank, and the surrounding guards exclaimed, at this time, another team of cavalry led by Pei Shuo had already raided.
The archers' cloud array was in chaos, and the two teams combined to take down the city lord's mansion.
While the people were fleeing for their lives in a hurry, Pei Shuo inadvertently caught a glimpse of a group of people leaving from the side of the City Lord's Mansion and fleeing in the direction of the city gate.
Suspicious, he trotted to stop them: "Who are you?"
"We ...... Ask the military master to spare his life, the little one is just a businessman, I, I have money, please ask the military master to give the little one a way to live!" The person in the middle spoke fluently in the Central Plains, and opened the burden to reveal the gold and silver jewelry inside, a few yellow and clear gold bars, heavy silver two, bracelets and pendants with good color and luster, and the head and foot bracelets and pendants were coveted when they looked at it.
The soldiers' eyes were straight, Pei Shuo's gaze swept from above, returned to the merchant's face, and looked at the vigilant guards beside him, silently.
The sun was not big, and the merchant was sweating the size of a bean on his forehead.
The people in the border city were still fleeing for their lives, but the merchant was stopped by Pei Shuo and did not dare to move, so he dared to ask again.
"Others can go, you, no. Pei Shuo condescendingly pointed at the merchant: "City Lord, at the critical moment, is it appropriate for you to leave the people of your city and flee?"
In one word, the identity of "businessman" is revealed.
"If I'm leaving, what about you?"
He no longer pretended, threw the burden at Pei Shuo suddenly, and ran away by himself.
Pei Shuo split the burden with a knife, the bead chain gold bar and silver were like the God of Wealth scattering wealth, especially a few pieces of gold bars that were not light, the soldiers reached out to fish, did not want to step on the beads and slipped, making people turn over on their backs, and then look at the city lord's house while running and turning back, seeing that he was unable to move an inch, he laughed even more, and felt like he was leaving.
He succeeded in being provoked, snatched Peiber's bow and arrows, and aimed with his bow out.
The bow was like a full moon, and the arrow was like a meteor, dragging the tail light of the white feather, piercing through the man who was running wildly.
The huge body fell to the ground, cold.
Pei Shuo brought the corpse of the city lord back to Pei Dad for a mission, and the Pei family army was stationed in the border city, which temporarily belonged to the Central Plains.
……
After this battle, Pei Shuo became famous in a battle.
Yanmen cleaned the battlefield, sent away his comrades, and fell into solemnity with the mountains, Pei Zhengwen and the remaining two generals discussed the matter of reporting the military situation to the imperial court, as for the border city that was accidentally knocked down, it was the size of a Nanxun town, and a little spring and autumn penmanship was brought over, how to deal with it was handed over to the imperial court for a headache, they are professional.
The children who were sent away also received news that they had ended their military service early and could return home.
Fang Jiabao jumped up happily when he got the news, and finally didn't have to worry about being afraid, he spent a lot of money in Yanmen, and he also saved a lot of silver in hand, plus he got a small sum in this Yanmen battle, made a fortune, and went home to live a good life with his mother!
"Have you heard? Pei Shuo shot the city lord of the border city with one arrow this time, super powerful!"
"Yes, he seems to be about the same age as us, I don't know what he looks like, is he as strong as those big guys, I heard that the bow he used to shoot the city lord weighed ten stones!"
"I heard that he was in charge of carrying stones up the mountain before......"
"Wasn't he the one who warned Lion Ridge that there was an invasion of foreign enemies?"
Fang Jiabao's smile gradually froze, he clenched the silver in his hand, and shouted: "It's noisy and it's dead! He's just an ordinary person, what is there to discuss!"
The surroundings were instantly quiet, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at Fang Jiabao in unison, and then began to discuss again.
Fang Jiabao is simply angry, Pei Shuo Pei Shuo is still Pei Shuo!
Pei Shuo had a team of people for him to drive at that time, and he didn't need to break into the City Lord's Mansion alone, if it was him, he could too!
"Fang Jiabao. "Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, who else can there be if it is not Pei Shuo, "I have something to look for you, go to the side to talk?"
"Something to say here. Fang Jiabao was disgusting him at the moment, where was he willing to listen to Pei Shuo's words and go to a place where there was no one on the side.
Pei Shuo lowered his eyes: "The mushrooms of that time, and the brick ...... of the corner gate"
"I don't know!"
Before Pei Shuo finished asking, Fang Jiabao grabbed the white loudly.
Hearing the word mushroom, the floodgates of memory slowly opened, and the bricks of the corner door made his heart stop beating even more. I was vaguely aware before, if Pei Shuo didn't say it, they would be sealed in a corner of the depths of his memory, and he wouldn't think about it again, maybe he would think about it by chance many years later, and he wouldn't associate it with the Battle of Yanmen.
If Pei Shuo doesn't mention it.
Why are you bringing it up?
Fang Jiabao's eyes can't deceive people.
"You know that Beiyi man lurking in Yanmen, I saw him give you money. Pei Shuo said expressionlessly.
"No, you're talking nonsense!" Fang Jiabao also remembered, his face turned pale, and Pei Shuo looked at them from a distance. He denied it, and at the same time, the eyes of the people around him made him a little panicked, regretting that he didn't listen to Pei Shuo just now and go to other places to speak.
"I don't know that person at all, he threatens me! You stand far away and can't see him threatening me, put a knife to my neck and ask me the location of the general, I pretended to point him in the direction and you saw it!" Fang Jiabao's mind moved quickly, and he said loudly, saying that even he believed that he was coerced.
"On that day, you were in a group with him, and the mushrooms of both of you were also used the most. Pei Shuo smiled, his smile was full of disappointment and hatred: "Fang Jiabao, what did Yanmen do to make you commit adultery and betray the country!"
"I didn't betray the country! Huotou didn't tell why I was blamed for the poison of mushrooms!" Fang Jiabao shouted, with tears in his eyes, "I don't know that those mushrooms are poisonous, why do you blame me for all the faults?"
"Since you don't know that those mushrooms are poisonous, why do you pick so much?" Pei Shuo continued to ask.
"I don't know. Fang Jiabao emphasized again, muttering: "The mushrooms are not my ...... picking."
"What about the bricks of the corner gate?" Pei Shuo was expressionless.
"What, what kind of bricks in the corner gate? You have been asking me what I don't understand, are you going to pour dirty water on me!" Fang Jiabao said, turned around and grabbed the other peers, and pointed at Pei Shuo: "Listen, this is a comrade, a comrade who slanders his brother at a critical moment." ”
Pei Shuo watched coldly, becoming more and more disappointed, he remembered that the general standing in front of the Jiaomen Yongdao would not let go of a Beiyi person who sneaked in, if it weren't for the brick of the Jiaomen to open the door for the Beiyi people, Yanmen would not have fallen so quickly, and the general might not have died of exhaustion in front of the door.
He pursed his lips and stared at Fang Jiabao, his eyes were dark and unfathomable, you say, how can there be such a person? Greedy for life and afraid of death, unwilling to take responsibility, and selfish enough to drag a bunch of people to death, why should such a person live in this world?
Ah Yao couldn't have imagined that he finally broke Pei Shuo back, from a bad man to a good young man, it is estimated that he will be more upright when he comes back from the army, who knows that Pei Shuo has experienced great changes in the army, and he has run all the way to the dark attribute avenue at one hundred and eighty degrees.
Zheng –
Everyone exclaimed, Fang Jiabao didn't react at all, and the long sword had already scratched blood marks on his neck.
"No, Pei Shuo, what do you mean?"
When Pei Shuo heard this, his hands were even harder, and the fierceness in his eyebrows and eyes made Fang Jiabao shudder, and he also realized that Pei Shuo really wanted to kill him. "Help, help! I don't want to die!"
"Young Master!"
Bobu through Yang and a few people rushed to see Pei Shuo go crazy, copied the soft whip or hidden weapon on his waist, the brothers cooperated seamlessly, the soft whip took the long sword, and the hidden weapon flew towards Pei Shuo's wrist, forcing him to throw away the family treasure first and fight with the four brothers of Bobu and Yang.
When Pei Zhengwen heard this, he pondered for a moment: "Send him back to the capital to recuperate." ”
