Thief IV
Thief (4)
Liu Dachun held a bowl of broth, squatted on the threshold of the house, and sighed lowly.
This may be the last meal of his life, and he can't eat it, although there is a long-lost piece of horse meat floating in the bowl, which smells fragrant, so that he has been without food for two days, and his stomach is sour.
It was already late, the sun was setting from the city in the west, and the evening breeze of spring was blowing slowly, and the smell of blood carried the fragrance of flowers in the mountains and forests. This kind of scenery is extremely inseparable.
"Da Chun, let's eat, what are you thinking", he used to be Zhang Zhensun's personal soldier, and now the gang leader of the same battalion as Liu Dachun walked over, sat down next to Liu Dachun, took off his cloth shoes and knocked on the threshold, sighed and said, "Eat, finish eating, so be a full ghost." Maybe the king of Hades will also see that everyone's face is good, and he will be reincarnated in a peaceful and prosperous world in the next life, and he will save his head, and he will not even be able to return to his hometown!"
"Alas" A few soldiers near sighed, knowing that tonight was breaking through, and the new annexed army was going to take the lead, and a wave of sadness swelled in their hearts.
"You say, what are we called, if we had known this result, it would have been better to die in Guangzhou!" A soldier slammed the wooden bowl on the ground in hatred, the tattoo on his face twitching. The Song army had a habit of tattooing characters on soldiers' faces since ancient times, and the Mongols came to carry forward this tradition. All the new recruits have tattoos on their faces, and even if they disguise themselves and escape, they will be recognized by the people.
The fate of waiting for them has already been written, and after breaking out, they will either be captured by the people of Shaowu and dedicated to the broken army, or they will be collected by the government in other places, escorted back to Guangzhou, and once again follow the Mongols to the east and west.
"Yes, I thought that with Zhang Zhizhi surrendering, I would be able to live a peaceful life for a few days, but who knows, I only lived for six more months, and I was infamy." Everyone was talking and sighing. lamenting the unfairness of fate. They are all township soldiers in Guangzhou, the famous general of the Northern Yuan Dynasty Da Chun led the three-way army, the soldiers came to the city, and the system made Zhang Zhensun and the squire Tan Yingdou surrender to the city, everyone was a soldier, what else can be done, follow the surrender. Who would have expected that within a few days of the fall, he would be brought by Page Te Mi to fight Wen Tianxiang, that Wen Tianxiang is easy for mortals to touch, the Great Song Dynasty Champion, Wen Qu Xing's nether realm. No, tens of thousands of people, defeated by thousands of people, don't even have the life to go back.
"Alas, you can't keep it, you can't descend and you can't descend, I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world." Lei Dong put on his shoes and began to check the leggings, "At that time, we have to descend if we don't fall." fell, Dachun's old horseman demolished the city of Guangzhou at most, and if he didn't surrender, the people of the whole city would have to be slaughtered. It's a pity that our Lord Zhang lowered the Great Yuan, and he still thinks of the Great Song in his heart. I thought it was an expedient measure, but who would have thought that the old man Dachun saw through the adult's thoughts, detained his family members, and forced the adult to come to Shao Wu to die!"
"What are you talking about, Lord Zhang is a fraud?" The wooden bowl in Liu Dachun's hand shook, almost spilling the broth on the ground.
"I don't know if it's a fraud or not, anyway, except for that Yang Xiaorong, no one is willing to hug the thick legs of the Mongolians", Lei Dong lowered his voice, hoarse voice, and said half-truthfully, "I heard that Lord Zhang originally wanted to slow down, and when Lord Zhang Shijie led the army to land, he would come to meet the outside world, but I didn't expect that Lord Zhang Shijie took the emperor away to Qixingyang." Our family members of Lord Zhang were detained by Da Chun again, so they had to be controlled by others, alas, it's a pity, the poisonous arrow that killed that day fell on the heads of Lord Zhang and Lord Tan......."
"yes, who would have thought," a few soldiers sighed, fantasizing about being able to stab Zhang Zhensun in the back. It's a very ambivalent psychology. In troubled times, it is difficult to say which choice is more correct.
For half a year, the Mongols attacked the city and plundered the land, and they were invincible. Wherever it is stormed, the end is the slaughter of the city. First of all, Luzhou ran out of grain, which was broken by Yuan Wanhu Tumen Dale, and appeased Wang Shichang to die, and the people of Hecheng were killed. Zhang Derun, the deputy marshal of Yuan Dongchuan, broke through Fuzhou, and the general Wang Ming and the commander-in-chief Han Wenguang and Zhang Yuchun were all killed, and the Mongols slaughtered the city for three days.
Shaoqing and Nanping Prefecture have fallen, and the losses suffered by the people are relatively small. With the exception of some of the atrocities that were commonplace after the breach, at least some lives were spared. As local village soldiers, emotionally, they still recognize Zhang Zhensun's behavior of surrendering without a fight. At the same time, if there is any hope of winning, they are also looking forward to giving the Tartars some hardship.
"It's a pity that it's too late for us to stab the Tartars now," someone muttered in a low voice.
"Not necessarily, it depends on whether the master has the courage or not. So far, the men and horses who asked for help have not broken out of the siege alive, and the army far away in Guangzhou may not know that Page Mi has suffered a defeat now. This Shaowu is surrounded by mountains, we can rush out tonight, no one answers, and we may not be able to return to Guangzhou alive. Sooner or later, it's better to die, it's better to ......", Lei Dong gritted his teeth and made a chopping gesture.
"You mean fighting with the Tartars?" Liu Dachun trembled again, and immediately saw sweat on his head.
"It's not a desperate effort, it's a vote." Lei Dong said a black sentence that everyone understands the meaning of, "Think about it, those people outside are very good, there are more than 10,000 of us, why should we die with hundreds of Tartars." They eat meat, and we can't even drink enough soup. They rode horses, we walked, and they were the first to rush outward, and they were not the goods to block the arrows for others. It's better to take advantage of the darkness and let's give him a meritorious atonement ......."
"This, Brother Jiu, is it done?" Someone asked suspiciously, looking around, lest the patrolling Mongols hear.
"What you can't do is better than dying under the thunder. After cutting the tartars, Lord Wen may be able to enlarge the gang's life. I heard that half of the current army is Huang Quji's subordinates, and they surrendered a few months before us. Where people go, when they fight, they are paid double salaries and cash silver." Lei Dong was afraid that everyone would not listen, and began to coerce and lure.
He didn't want to die, let alone die like this. There is one thing that has not been done in this life, if you die in the chaos, Lei Dong will not be able to look away. As soon as the news of the breakout came out, the morale of the army was fluctuating, and he was ready to use this opportunity to incite the people to rebel.
"Cheng, Brother Jiu, I'll follow you", Liu Dachun drank the broth in one gulp, and threw the wooden bowl out from a distance.
"It's a death anyway, it's better to survive in death."
"Yes, killing a Tartar back, it's not in vain." Several soldiers shouted in a low voice.
"Shhhh I have discussed with the other old brothers, Da Chun, Niwazi, you two are good at water, after a while, when it gets dark, take advantage of the chaos, you jump into the big river in the east of the city, as long as you can get to the other side alive, just tell the brothers of the Broken Army over there, the Mongols are ready to break through tonight, let Master Wen prepare. When the gates of the city are opened, we will rebel and make meritorious deeds."
"Hmm", Liu Dachun nodded and began to pack up. The sun had set, and in a moment, it was time for him to show his skills.
Waiting for the time to break out in the siege is an ordeal.
He didn't wait for midnight to come before he was liberated. As soon as night fell, there was a mess in Jianning City. A sudden fire ignited, and the light of the fire shone through the window to his face.
Without waiting for Page Te to ask questions, several pro-soldiers came to report breathlessly, and Yang Xiaorong reversed.
"What", he grabbed the soldier by the collar and was eager to throw him out of the yamen onto the road.
"Yang, Yang Xiaorong reversed, led the team to occupy the west gate, and someone led the remnants of the soldiers to set fire to them. Now the four doors are wide open, general, if we don't leave, we will be too late! The soldier cried out, angry.
"Oh my God", Page Matmi put down his own soldier and sat in his chair. I prepared for the worst in advance, but I didn't expect that Yang Xiaorong's Laipi dog still had the courage to rebel. The plan to break through was all over, and Yang Xiaorong's occupation of the west gate was equivalent to cutting off the hope of the Mongolian army going west to Baizhangling and sneaking back to Jiangxi along the path under the ridge. Needless to say, he must have done this to make meritorious atonement for his sins at the Wen madman. At present, the plan to use the new annex army as a meat shield to attract the attention of the enemy army has completely failed, and the hundreds of surviving Mongol troops under his command, Pagemishi no longer knows where to take them.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he drew his saber and swung it at his neck. The soldier next to him was quick and grabbed his arm.
"General, general, goshawk retains its wings in order to fly into the blue sky", this sentence has the same meaning as the Han people's "stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood", but to persuade the page to leave a life in order to have a chance to take revenge in the future.
Page Mi really had no intention of dying, and when he was persuaded by his subordinates, his suicidal thoughts faded. Under the service of his own soldiers, he found an ordinary soldier's armor and put it on, held the seal letter in his arms, and ordered loudly: "Inform all the soldiers to get on their horses and go out of the south gate, let's take advantage of the chaos."
The so-called all the soldiers, there are less than 100 people left at the moment. Yang Xiaorong rebelled with his descendants, causing the new annex army to bomb the camp. The city was surrounded by fires, which burned some of the Mongol warriors to the point where they lost their minds. Chao Ba Yan rushed out with the new annex army who fled for his life, and in the dark, he either encountered the Song army who rushed to hear the news and was captured alive. Either he was blackmailed behind by the new annex army on the way, and he saw the king of Hades in a daze.
On the streets, there were rebels on all sides. People were crowded, crying, and running around without a head.
Page Mi drew his knife and rushed into the streets. The hand rises, the knife falls, and the new annex on the road is cut into two sections. A few pro-soldiers guarded the two sides of the page, slashing indiscriminately. Forced in the crowd, cut a passage. The wounded new soldiers cried and pleaded, but no one looked back at them.
Hundreds of Mongol warriors rushed out of the city gates in a whirlwind and into the endless darkness of the night.
On the battlements of the city wall, Lei Dong trembled his hands and drew a large bow. His gaze followed the tip of the arrow, and he focused on the back of the front page.
The page with the changed armor can hide from ordinary soldiers, but it can't hide from the thunderous eyes. This back, turned to ashes, he can also recognize it.
Zhang Zhensun and Tan Yingdou sacrificed the city, and Guangzhou avoided the disaster of slaughtering the city. But the sins committed by these wild men who ate raw meat were no less than the slaughter of a city.
The city of Guangzhou, which had stood for hundreds of years, was demolished by order of Da Chun, and all four walls were razed to the ground. In addition, there is no place in the city that has not been looted. All that could be moved was taken away by the Mongol warriors as trophies, and even the incense burner in the temple was not spared.
The officers get a huge amount of wealth, and the soldiers, without the joy of killing, need other ways to vent. As a result, the young officers who were "considerate of their subordinates" took the soldiers under their command and the "first-class people" of Dayuan into the homes of the fourth-class people, enjoying the pleasure of being the master to the fullest.
Within a month, thousands of girls committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river, throwing themselves into the world, and swallowing gold. Of course, they committed suicide for the sake of honor, and in the eyes of historians and Confucians, they had nothing to do with the actions of the Mongol soldiers.
Among them, there is a little maid of Zhang Zhensun's family, and the wife of Lei Dong who has not passed through the door.
The maid didn't like Lei Dong very much. In the turbulent times, marry a samurai in order to find a harbor where you can live in peace.
It is a pity that this samurai was receiving the reorganization of the Mongols outside the city at a critical moment.
When he rushed home with Zhang Zhensun, the body of the little maid was already cold. Zhang Zhensun's daughter went crazy and couldn't name the intruder except for a jade talisman.
It was a jade talisman given by the Great Yuan Emperor to meritorious people. At the surrender ceremony, Zhang Zhensun, who had made meritorious contributions to the city, happened to get a piece. After the jade talisman, it is engraved with his name and merits.
The bowstring sounded, and the guards beside Page Mishi suddenly turned back, raised their swords and shot the cold arrow to the ground. Several guards grabbed the boss and quickly disappeared away.
"Phew", Lei Dong spat hatefully and pulled out his bow again.
Another cold light flew in mid-air, and Page T hid his neck tightly and leaned over. Cold arrows flew past his helmet. Before he could straighten his waist, the cold arrow came again, and the guards around him raised their knives to separate each other, and in the air, the sharp arrows pierced into the hind legs of the war horse under the crotch of the page.
The horse fell, both arms stretched out at the same time, and the heavily armored Pagemishi sprang up the moment before his legs hit the ground with the force of the guard's pull, and jumped into the empty saddle of another war horse.
"Good horsemanship", there was another cheer in the dark night, and three cold lights flew from the opposite side of the page, shooting people with an arrow, shooting horses with an arrow, and sealing the guards with an arrow. Page Mi and the guards drew their swords and arrows, stepped off the war horse with a mournful roar, shook, and fell to the ground softly.
Before he could jump up again, several horses flew in. On horseback, the first general, slapped the horse's sword, straight to the page of the dense, followed by a bare-chested man, holding a horned bow, feathered arrows flew out of the bow, each arrow must shoot a Mongolian warrior under the horse.
There is no need to tell who is the boss, and from the performance of several Mongolian warriors, the identity of Page Mi has been undoubtedly revealed.
"Despicable", Page Mi pulled his thigh out from under the horse's belly with difficulty, and raised his sword to meet the enemy general. Before he could engage him, an arrow flew from the head of the city and hit him in the arm. The page is dense and painful, and the knife falls. watched a white-helmeted and white-armored military general ride past him.
"You've got it too!" Seeing the dense corpse of Page Tert lying on the ground, Lei Dong spat at the mouth. He gently lowered the longbow in his hand to the city.
The matter of this life is over, and the veteran Lei Dong took off the armor of the new annex and cut off the humiliating tattoos on his face with his sword. Then, he lifted his clothes and covered his face, and jumped from the top of the city.
