Chapter Ninety-Three: Sealed
Old Man Ye transported the weapons to the army, and his heart was a little more steady. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yao Zongqi is only afraid that he wants to win this battle more than the old man." Chu Li said in a good mood.
The emperor allowed Yao Zheng to make meritorious contributions, Old Man Ye already knew, but he understood that Chu Li was not a person of many words, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Those of us who are courtiers naturally want to share our worries for Your Majesty, I will give him the opportunity first, but I will not joke with the lives of my brothers." ”
The implication is that he feels that Yao Zheng's ability is not enough, and it is likely to cause his subordinates to follow him to death.
But how could he disobey the emperor's order?
As soon as Yao Zheng saw Old Man Ye, he said: "I don't know which Wang Ba cake is who dares to frame Lao Tzu for killing good and risking merit, and then settle accounts for him when Lao Tzu finds out!" Fortunately, the emperor Shengming gave me the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and asked Shi Boduo to fulfill it. ”
Old Man Ye laughed, "My nephew is really good at talking, if I don't let you fight, wouldn't it be equivalent to delaying your opportunity to make meritorious contributions?" ”
Yao Zhengpi hugged his fists with a smile and said: "I have been a fellow Shibo for many years, so I naturally understand that Shibo is not such a person. ”
Old Man Ye's face became serious all of a sudden, "Poor General Lu, he didn't even figure out the south, south, west, and northwest, and he had become a dead soul, he died so suddenly, what does Yao Zongqi think?" ”
Yao Zheng always felt in his heart that it was Old Man Ye who robbed him of the position of acting commander, and heard Old Man Ye call him "General Banner", his face sank suddenly, and he was about to get angry, but he heard Old Man Ye say: "Yao Zongqi was the acting commander of the Quanzhou Guard Station before, and he is more familiar with the situation in the army than me, and now I will hand over the task of finding out the spies to you?" ”
When Yao Zheng heard this, his heart became more and more uncomfortable, "When General Lu sacrificed his life for the country, I was in prison, if there was no additional grace from the emperor, I am afraid that I will not be able to see Shibo at this time, how can I know the situation in the army?" ”
I don't want to.
Old Man Ye frowned for a while before he said, "Then how is Yao Zongqi going to wear the merits of sin?" ”
Yao Zheng pretended to think for a moment, and said: "If the old man is willing to give me 5,000 men and horses, I will take the head of the leader of the Japanese people, and the other party has no leader, but I am afraid that it will soon disperse." ”
Old Man Ye high-fived and sighed: "This plan is wonderful, but there are only more than five people in the Quanzhou Guard, you take away 5,000, what do I use to defend the city?" ”
Only then did Yao Zheng hear the irony in Old Man Ye's words, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he said coldly: "Even if I take away five thousand people, there are still so many people in the city, and there are only two or three thousand people, how can I not resist it?" ”
Old Man Ye's pupils shrank suddenly, and his voice became sharper, "Even if there are only two thousand people on the other side, how can you tell which is their big leader?" ”
Yao Zheng refused to reveal more information, but said forcefully: "I also spent a lot of money to get this news, if General Dai refuses to trust me and delays the fighter, I can only write an excerpt to General Dai to explain this matter to Your Majesty." ”
Old Man Ye: "If you are really so sure, I will believe you once." ”
Yao Zheng hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled weirdly.
Old Man Ye pretended not to see it, and said happily: "Then let Jin Qianhu and Li Qianhu each send 1,500 people to assist you." ”
Yao Zheng was overjoyed, how could he have thought that before leaving, he saw Jin Qianhu and Li Qianhu also following, although his expression was a little cold, but he didn't say anything, and quietly walked out of the guard with his people.
As a result, only two hours after Yao Zheng left, Quanzhou City was frantically attacked by nearly 5,000 enemies.
Old Man Ye inevitably sighed with the remaining thousand households: "When the Japanese people come to attack, they are generally hundreds of thousands of people, like so many people attacking the city, this is the first time I have seen it." ”
"Why should the boss pretend to be confused, among these people, thirty percent of them are Japanese people, and what kind of people the others are, I am afraid that only they know, and the time of their siege is too coincidental."
Old Man Ye slowly had a showdown with everyone about Yao Zheng taking away 3,000 people. "Except for Yao Zheng himself and the other two thousand households, no one else knows about this matter." Old Man Ye said in a deep voice.
This only indicates one consequence, that is, one of the three of them must have sent a message to the widows.
The atmosphere immediately became oppressive.
The Japanese are not only ferocious and good at fighting, but also not afraid of death, and Quanzhou Wei has not trained much in the past two years, how can he be the opponent of the Japanese people?
Moreover, the news obtained by the Quanzhou Command Envoy Department was that there were only 3,000 Japanese people in total.
The number of opponents is small, it is very convenient to hide, and it is generally at night to kill, burn and loot, and so many people appear out of thin air to attack the city, everyone feels a little panicked.
"The old man has been guarding Quanzhou for more than 40 years, and he really encountered the Japanese attacking the city only once, and that time I captured their daimyo Zhitian Xin alive." Old Man Ye said proudly, "Instead of defending here, it's better to open the city gate directly and kill him!" Don't look at the number of them, they are all miscellaneous hairs, bullshit doesn't understand, Lao Tzu killing them is like cutting watermelon. ”
Old Man Ye's voice was like a bell, and a few words made everyone's blood boil, and they all threatened to go out of the city to kill the enemy.
Old Man Ye took the lead and rushed out.
He wielded a big knife on his horse, cutting people really like cutting melons, his hands rise, the knife falls, and people fall.
The other party was suddenly frightened by this formation, and they all hid around, but no one dared to come forward to besiege.
The people who came out with Old Man Ye saw this situation and were greatly encouraged and followed suit.
But a few breaths of attackers, the ground is full of corpses.
Old Man Ye is a big knife on his side, but the weapons in the enemy's hands are everything, and some people even have boat pulps, fish baskets and the like in their hands.
The enemy fought and retreated, and the defenders became more and more courageous, and it was not long before the opponent retreated.
"The old man is really heroic!" The crowd praised it.
Old Man Ye shook his head, "These are just ragtag armies, I'm afraid that those warriors and ronins haven't appeared at all, they are just temporarily retreating." ”
A young man said optimistically, "Maybe they were so frightened by the old man that they didn't dare to come again." ”
Old Man Ye shook his head: "Since they dare to come to attack the city, I am afraid that the real number of people is even more than now, but we don't have to be afraid, as long as we can hold out for three days, reinforcements will arrive." ”
As he spoke, he ordered the city gates to be closed and strictly defended.
As expected, the number of enemy troops doubled that night, and they began to attack the city gate frantically.
Fortunately, Jin Qianhu and Li Qianhu took the men and horses to kill a horse pistol, and the Japanese people could not capture the city gate, so they naturally pursued the three thousand people outside the city fiercely, and everyone fought and retreated, and when it was dawn, the number of people decreased to the original one, and it had reached the point of exhaustion.
During the day, it was the motley army that attacked the city, but the people who chased them at night were the elite of the other side, and they fought all the way, both sides were killed and wounded, but the number of defenders was several times less, so they were naturally not the opponents of the other side.
There is already a dense forest ahead, and thorns are born, and there is no way to retreat.
Unexpectedly, countless bamboo arrows suddenly shot out in the dense forest, hitting the enemy's heart, and the pursuers led by Old Man Ye rushed over again.
Although there were only more than 20 people in the dense forest, the archery skills were very sophisticated, and it was Mrs. An Guo herself who led a team of people.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle on the edge of the dense forest.
When the sun rose in the east, the war finally subsided, and the two thieves were captured together, killing thousands of thieves, and several people were blocked when they escaped by boat, and countless people fell into the water and died.
Pyrrhic victory.
Yao Zheng died honorably in this battle, and in addition to the people who stopped the Japanese people on the water, the other half were Yao Zheng's cronies led by Yao Lu.
Although Yao Lu was young, he killed three enemies in a row.
Although Old Man Ye suspected that Yao Zheng was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, he did not have any evidence, so he generously reported Yao Zheng's military exploits.
In order to appease the Yao family, the emperor personally named the ten-year-old Yao Lu as a hundred households.
