Chapter 51: Take down Neihuang: Up
Liu Qi waited in full armor in the arrow tower in the south city, and sent people to look at Zhao Zhen's camp from time to time, but half an hour passed, there was no movement in Zhao Zhen's camp, but the fire at the north gate was getting bigger and bigger, and the red flame rushed straight to the edge, and the soldiers at the south gate could see it.
He looked restless, so he walked over and said to Liu Qi: "Eldest prince, it is better for the last general to go and see the situation at the south gate, so as not to ......." ”
Liu Qi waved his hand and said, "Let's wait a little longer, I always feel cheating." ”
At this time, a school rushed over, ran to the city, knelt down in front of Liu Qi out of breath, and said: "Back to the eldest prince, the thief broke the north gate and has entered the city in a big way, and Lord Deng was beheaded by a thief who used a knife." ”
He said, "The thief who wields the sword must be Wenda, and when I go and kill him, I will retake the north gate." ”
Liu Qi stretched out his hand to stop it, and said to the school: "Is it the main force of Zhao Zhen's army that is attacking the city?" ”
The school said: "It should be, many military horses have entered Beicheng, but ...... They only defended the gates of the northern city, but they did not attack the city. ”
Liu Qi laughed, and said to the thief: "Sure enough, as I expected, Zhao Zhen is a feint at the north gate." ”
The monster rolled his eyes, looked at Liu Qi like an idiot, and said in his heart: "The north gate is lost, they can already enter the city, even if it is a feint, it should be changed to a real fight, and I don't know where you can see that the other party is a feint." But he didn't dare, so he said: "But I ask the eldest prince for guidance." ”
"You see, the north gate has been opened, if they enter the city with a large army, how can they not attack with all their might, how can they hold the north city gate, they must only send a force into the city, as long as the army presses up, we can force them out, but the south city must be lost, and then Neihuang will really not be guaranteed."
He couldn't help it, so he said: "The eldest prince, whether the other party feints or not, the north gate is lost, they will change their strategy and attack the north gate with all their might, and the current situation should be that they have not had time to mobilize men and horses to rush to the north gate, as long as we drive out the enemy army that has captured the north gate, we can recapture the north gate and re-hold Neihuang, otherwise when their army enters Neihuang, it will be difficult for us to recapture the north gate." ”
Liu Qi listened to this, and was silent, he insisted that Zhao Zhen they were feints, firstly, he couldn't give up his son, and secondly, he was afraid that Zhao Zhen's army would attack, and he had no way to deal with it, but just like that, once Zhao Zhen attacked the north gate with all his might, Neihuang couldn't hold it, but just like that, he let Zhao Zhen leave, and he was scared in his heart, and couldn't help frowning, just turning back and forth in place, like ants on a hot pot.
He looked anxious, and urged: "Eldest son, time is pressing, please make a decision quickly!" ”
Liu Qi was urged to have a pain in his head, and he was in a hurry, so he said: "Yes, General, you can order a group of men and horses to go out of the city now......." ”
He hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Eldest prince, since Zhao Zhen dares to attack the city, the camp must have been prepared, where can we fight it, even if we can take it down, I'm afraid that he won't take the camp to heart, and he won't bring troops back to help." ”
Liu Qi shook his head and said: "The general is wrong, this son didn't let you attack his camp, it was a stupid person like Yuan Shao who did a stupid thing, I mean you take a group of men and horses, just take a detour to the road outside the north city, intercept Zhao Zhen's men and horses, their army should be rushing towards the north city, as long as you stop their army, those in the city will not respond, and they will naturally retreat." ”
He was stupid when he heard this, and he hugged his fists and saluted: "The eldest prince, the thief army has not broken the city yet, but has already broken the city. ”
"No need, this son will personally go to the North Gate to supervise the formation, as long as the general can block Zhao Zhen's army, that's it."
He couldn't see it, he could only listen to the order, and immediately ordered five hundred horse troops, opened the city, and went around the north gate avenue, where Liu Qi ordered his cronies, and his brother Liu Youcai to guard the south gate with men and horses, and he himself ordered three hundred cronies, and came to the north gate, in Liu Qi wanted to come, whether it was Ma Kuo or Yueyang in Zhao Zhen's camp, it was not the opponent of Zhao Zhen, as long as Zhao Zhen's reinforcements were defeated, and then killed back from the north gate, he could annihilate Wenda who attacked the city all the way, Neihuang was still in his hands, And he will take the people and horses over, that is, to guard the North Gate Street first, and not let Wenda's people and horses move forward, so on the way to the North Gate, although there are repeated reports from the soldiers, Liu Qi is not in a hurry, just sit on the horse leisurely and slowly move towards the North Gate.
He took the people out of the city, rushed all the way, and rushed to the avenue outside the North Gate of Neihuang, only to come around, the sound of footsteps, he looked in the direction of the North Gate of Neihuang, only to see a team of people and horses just passed in front of him, and was rushing towards the North Gate of Neihuang, and he secretly rejoiced: "Thank you, I finally caught up with them." Then he urged his horse and rushed towards the centaurs, and at the same time shouted loudly: "The thief army is gone, your general is here!" ”
The horse army rushed forward, and was about to catch up with the men and horses on the opposite side, when suddenly there was a string sound, and the arrows were shot at them like rain, and he hurriedly lifted the big axe and danced away, blocking all the arrows that were shot at him, but more than a dozen of the horses behind him were shot under the horses.
The stumbling roared; "What a thief, you dare to hurt people with a secret arrow!" With the words of the whip the horse rushed forward, only the horse forward, the four stumbling ropes were stretched together, the tall head curly yellow jumped three tripping ropes, was tripped by the fourth, and fell forward, the big axe probed forward, supported the ground with an axe gun, and borrowed a little strength for the tall curly yellow, the two hind legs of the tall curly yellow violently forced, and the people stood up in the same place, and stood on their own.
"Good horse!" With a sigh of admiration, Fu Hong patted the horse over, grabbed the blood-spotted dragon beast in front of the turtle, and watched the turtle control the horse before saying, "Are you the Scarface Tiger?" ”
He looked Fu Hong up and down, and said in a deep voice: "It's your grandfather, who is your mother-in-law?" ”
Fu Hong sneered: "Which grandfather are you?" I'm your aunt! With the words urging the horse to come over, the big lance split the head and slapped it down, the axe was separated by the axe, the two Kunlun lances smashed on the axe one after the other, the tall body of the carpal couldn't help but shake violently on the horse, and even the tall curly hair under him followed back a few steps back, this huge power slapped the head of the tarp buzzing, and couldn't help but shout: "Good power!" ”
Fu Hong also laughed and said: "You are good, you didn't lose your weapons after taking my two lances, you have some strength, but you took me again, and the lance smashed down again, and the horse dodged away in a hurry, and then an axe slashed towards Fu Hong's head."
Fu Hong's left hand lance was outward, and the right hand lance stabbed under the ribs of the thief, and he never expected Fu Hong to shoot so quickly, twisting his waist sharply and tilting his body to avoid it, and the big lance rubbed his waist ribs past, scraping up the nail leaves on his waist, and flying out like fish scales.
Frightened and angry, he took the turn of the big axe heart and Fu Hong to fight together, more than 30 rounds passed, the stump was suppressed in a hurry, almost no parry, and at this time, Zhao Zhen arrived with the third way, immediately rushed over, Yue Yang forward, the stuffiness in the chest was vented to the body of the Inner Yellow Army, the big gun passed over, the dead bodies flew sideways, the Inner Yellow Army resisted first, but after being killed by Yue Yang more than ten horses, it could no longer stop the impact of Zhao Zhen's men and horses behind, the whole army collapsed, and was defeated in all directions.
Yue Yang didn't chase after him, but only said to Zhao Zhen: "The king is a thousand years old, but don't move, but he will come forward to take the thief!" After urging the horse forward, he stabbed the gun at the stump.
It was already difficult to support, Yue Yang stabbed him with a shot, he scolded angrily, and when he dodged in a hurry, he was pierced by the purple gold dragon spear and rubbed his thigh, and he rubbed out a blood groove, and the pain was so painful that the monster screamed, and the horse was gone, and the high head curly yellow let go of the four hooves, like a yellow lightning bolt, Fu Hong urged the blood spot spotted dragon beast to follow and chase down, when Yue Yang was about to chase, Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "General Yue is back, let's go first Neihuang!" ”
Yue Yang was unwilling to bring the horse back.
The runner ran in front, Fu Hong chased behind, the two horses turned their hooves and flashed their palms, chasing the wind and electricity, and the runner ran along the city first, thinking about going back to the south gate to enter the city, but after running for a while, he saw that the speed of the blood spotted dragon beast was not under the yellow curly hair of his high head, and then he ran down, he had to let Fu Hong catch up, so he gritted his teeth and turned the horse's head and ran towards a valley sandwiched by two slopes, thinking of using the terrain to throw Fu Hong away, but Fu Hong was also clear about his running route, and he followed behind without falling behind, and he still couldn't get rid of it.
After running for a while, the distance between the two horses was only as far as three horses, and even Fu Hong's big lance could already touch his horse's tail. While he was thinking, the road narrowed, and the horse's body was almost on the right slope, when suddenly a man cried out on the slope, "Immediately, go to the left!" ”
He didn't have time to tell the source of the sound, so he turned his horse to the left, and Fu Hong's horse followed, and also stuck to the edge of the high slope on the right, and a large stone immediately rolled down from it, and smashed down towards Fu Hong and the blood-spotted dragon beast.
Fu Hong turned around when he heard the sound, roared angrily, crossed his legs, knocked his legs on the horse's belly, the war horse lay down, Fu Hong's feet stepped on the ground, and the big stone also arrived, and with a bang, it smashed on the two Kunlun lances.
The big lance creaked, and the elastic lance bent backwards, Fu Hong gritted her teeth, and her body fell backwards with this momentum, and the stone looked almost pressed on her body, she suddenly roared, her hands were violently forced, and the two lances flicked left and right, and the big stone flew out sideways, smashed on the slope on the left, and smashed into it more than half a meter deep, and it was embedded on the slope, and the blood-spotted dragon beast followed with a long roar and stood up.
Fu Hong gasped for breath, and at this time, he turned his horse back and shouted, "Evil woman, but look at me to get you!" With a tall head and curly hair, he rushed towards Fu Hong, and at the same time, someone on the slope shouted: "Go! Then an iron fork was thrown down the slope.
After Fu Hong picked up the flying boulder, his arms were weak and weak, and he couldn't hold the big lance, so he was on the horse, holding the handle of the black knife, which saw the flying fork coming down, and with a quick wave of his hand, the black knife was unsheathed, and the steel fork thrown down was cut into two pieces with only one knife.
Fu Hong really didn't have the strength to swing the knife anymore, so he watched the axe come down, and secretly complained in his heart, who knew that a voice on the left slope sounded: "Go!" As a stone flew in, it hit the neck of the thief, the pain was so painful that the body of the turtle was crooked, the axe split the air, Fu Hong knew that someone saved her, but there would be no time to find a life-saving benefactor, turn the horse and leave, the bloody spotted dragon beast also knew that the master was in trouble, scattered the four hooves and fled without his life, and when the turtle came back to his senses, he could not see anyone for a long time.
He secretly shouted: "Bad luck." I want to chase down, but I think that the opposite side is all Zhao Zhen's people, but I am afraid that my life will be gone, and I am hesitating, and a person comes down from the high slope on the opposite side, so he salutes and says: "Is it General Liu Yu's subordinate immediately?" ”
The man arched his hand and said: "It is King Liu who is driving the pro-army to control the buck." "Although Liu Yu has not yet been canonized as the emperor by the Jin State, he has already proclaimed himself king, and his subordinates all respect him as King Liu.
The man smiled and said: "It turned out to be the Scarface Tiger, in Xia Xiahou Cheng, originally a subordinate of the Holy Duke of Jiangnan, Jiangnan was defeated, and he was exiled in Hebei. Xiahou Cheng is a well-behaved person, and when he heard the words, he immediately changed his mind and called Liu Wang.
He said: "It turned out to be Fang Shenggong's subordinates, my family Liu Wang sighed that Fang Shenggong was killed by traitors, so he was defeated by the Song Dynasty, and he also hated that he could not go to the rescue when Fang Shenggong needed it, the Xiahou brothers are Fang Shenggong's subordinates, as long as they are effective, they will inevitably be reused." At this point, he sighed again and said, "It's a pity, I can't introduce it to Brother Xiahou." ”
Xiahou Cheng was puzzled and said, "How do you say this?" ”
He said: "I was ordered by Fang Shenggong to transport a batch of grain and grass to Xiangzhou to recruit troops, but when I got to Neihuang, I was blocked by the men and horses of Zhao Zhen, the pseudo-Song Xin King, and now not only my grain and grass are gone, but even Neihuangcheng is lost, how can I have the face to go back to see King Liu." ”
Xiahou said: "The general's words are wrong, I heard that King Liu has always been magnanimous to people who have made mistakes, the general can first settle down with Ran and my cottage, and then secretly attack Zhao Zhen, as long as he makes great contributions, how can King Liu not forgive the general's crimes." ”
He said in his heart: "That's because you don't know that his eldest nephew made me lose it, and now Liu Qi's father Liu Yu's brother Liu Guang is sweeping bandits on Jingdong Road, how can Liu Yu not give face to his own brother, and when I go back, he will kill me." However, there was no way out, and he thought about it: "It's better to mess with this Xiahou Cheng for a few days, and when there is a way out, I won't be too late to go." He didn't have the idea of going back to Liu Yu anymore, but he had to think carefully about who he wanted to vote for, so he said to Xiahou: "Then Brother Xiahou." ”
The two of them were proud, they became a group, the person who rescued Fu Hong, and searched on the right slope for a while, but no one was seen, and he was only afraid that Fu Hong would go back with rescuers, Xiahou Cheng also knew that Fu Hong was Zhao Zhen's subordinate, if Zhao Zhen knew his whereabouts, he had to arrest him, so they didn't dare to stay for a long time, and hastily looked for it, and after no trace, they left here and went to the pheasant's head.
