Chapter 52: Xiao Xian is dead
The fighting was in full swing, but the city of Jiading was quiet, because those who had the courage to go out of the city had already gone out, and most of the rest belonged to quails.
For example, the quail surnamed Zhang on the city wall, as the county magistrate of the county magistrate, he did not take on the heavy responsibility, nor did he put down his body to do some practical things like Wu Zhutou, but only stayed by Gui Youguang's side all day and night, as if this great Confucian could guarantee his safety.
However, Zhang Xiancheng is not only a quail, but also like a cat stepping on the ice, watching the fight under the city with trepidation, while trying to let people close the big open city gate.
"You can't close the door!" Zheng Ruozeng shouted angrily.
Before Gui Youguang on the side could react, a steel knife was already on Zhang Xiancheng's neck.
Zhang San grinned at Zheng Ruozeng, "The young master explained before he left the city, if anyone closes the door and can't stop it, he will be killed." ”
Zhang Xiancheng collapsed to the ground with a weak leg.
Zheng Ruozeng held his chest and gasped for a few breaths, and said in a low voice: "The township warrior is not strong, and he can only be strong when he goes out of the city, once the city gate is closed behind him, he will definitely scatter and flee, fortunately, the Qian family is prepared......
Halfway through his words, Zheng Ruozeng suddenly noticed that Gui Youguang's hand was trembling.
"Look!" Gui Youguang pointed out of the city with a dumb voice, "What's that?" ”
The moon secretly burrowed out of the clouds at some point, and under the bright moonlight, the condescending Zheng Ruozeng opened his eyes and looked carefully, and an obvious black shadow appeared behind the wolf.
"It's reinforcements!" Zheng Ruozeng slammed his fist on the city wall, and shouted with great joy: "Reinforcements have arrived!" ”
Gui Youguang doesn't understand, but Zheng Ruozeng does.
There are very few horses in the south of the Ming Dynasty, and even fewer war horses, even high-ranking generals such as Lu Bo and Yu Dayou can't find many war horses.
And the black shadow that gradually appeared, there were at least a dozen high-headed horses in the front that were accelerating, which one of the would-be robbers took out so many war horses, even if there were, they would not be used on the battlefield but should be sold to make money.
……
The night wind whistled past his ears, and the back of the Japanese was already close in front of him, and the cry of "Xiao Xian is dead" was in his ears.
Approaching the battle formation, the tension in Hou Jigao's heart had long since disappeared, he bent slightly, his body fell with the gallop of the horse, and grabbed the spear in his hand hard.
The surprise attack of more than a dozen war horses completely disrupted the formation of the Japanese Invaders, and nearly 100 Ming troops armed with spears finally made the Japanese lose confidence.
"Jinshanwei reinforcements have arrived!"
Hou Jigao roared, the spear in his hand stabbed a widow in the shoulder, he couldn't pull it out for a while, he gritted his teeth and struggled to move, the widow was actually picked up high.
This scene made the Japanese invaders completely collapse, and Xiao Xian grinned and jumped off the bad horse he had robbed a few days ago, and hid in the group of robbers and prepared to run away.
This time it was completely planted, and the city was not captured in five days, but the city was stolen instead, and now the Ming army of Jinshanwei has arrived, but Xiao Xian is frustrated but has the confidence to make a comeback.
But at this moment, Lu Bin, who was already covered in blood, rushed to the front, and with sharp eyes, he saw the sneaky Xiao Xian.
"Xiao Xian!" Lu Bin rushed to catch up, there were still a lot of widows, but just a moment later, Xiao Xian's side was empty.
"Xiao Xian!"
"Xiao Xian!"
The hoarse roar lifted the spirits of Hou Jigao, who was not far away, put down the spear in his hand, and bent his bow and arrow on the horse.
"Whoosh!"
ran away with a short body and scolded Xiao Xian in his heart for being cold, and he was shot in the calf of the arrow, and he fell down.
Lu Bin, who rushed over, struggled to pick up the front end of the severed spear and threw it hard, and the sharp tip of the spear sharpened by the whetstone easily sank into Xiao Xian's back.
The disappointed Hou Jigao glanced at the young general opposite, there was a bloodstain all over his body, but under the moonlight, there was a silver luster, this should be Lu Bin, the youngest son of General Lu, who really deserves to be the tiger of the gate.
Just when Hou Jigao was about to go over and compliment him, Lu Bin jumped off the horse and strode towards Xiao Xian, the waist knife in his hand was slashed again, and then he grabbed his hair with his hand, and the steel knife twisted his neck around.
The fledgling Hou Jigao was a little sick to his stomach......
"Xiao Xian is dead!"
Lu Bin, who got on the horse again, galloped around, shouting hoarsely, and this time the head in his hand made his words convincing enough.
"What a reckless flyer!" Qian Yuan, who was watching this scene from afar, complained weakly, let go of his hand and threw away the spear, and sat on the ground with his butt.
"This time, Mr. Qian won't say the tiger father and dog son anymore." Zhang's nursing home squatted down with a smile, "To be honest, just now my old Zhang was ready to run away with his son." ”
"It's not bad, it's just too reckless." Qian Yuan pursed his mouth hard and tried to secrete some saliva, he was too nervous before, and his mouth was dry and tight, "Lao Zhang, you are also very good." ”
Zhang's family guard kept curling his fingers, just now he released dozens of arrows in a row, if it weren't for his magic arrows, the villagers might not have the courage to hold on until now.
Curiously looked at the young man in front of him, although he was a showman, he seemed to be very approachable, you must know that nowadays, it is really rare for a showman to call himself Lao Zhang.
Although the moon was still overhead, the sky had gradually brightened, and the would-be robbers either knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, or scattered and fled, and Lu Bin and Hou Jigao, who refused to give up, led the Ming army to surround a group of dozens of would-be robbers.
Qian Yuan didn't have to worry about the next battlefield cleaning, he simply sat on the ground and watched casually, and the neighing of horses not far away attracted his attention.
The horse circled back and forth beside a corpse, neighing and bowing from time to time.
Qian Yuan turned his head and didn't want to look at it anymore, similar things will continue to happen in the next seven or eight years.
But Qian Yuan, who turned his head, saw a spear poking on the ground again, and a villager drew the spear vigorously, knelt on the ground, and only picked up a corpse from the ground after half a sound.
Qian Yuan could only hang his head.
"Young master, the statistics are out." Yang Wen, who was still wrapped in wounds, hurried over, "Thirty-two of the forty-eight horsemen who went out of the city were killed in battle, and twenty-eight of the township warriors and government servants were killed in battle...... Five of our men were killed in battle. ”
Qian Yuan didn't speak, only smiled bitterly.
Hurried footsteps sounded behind him, Qian Yuan didn't bother to look back, only stared at his still trembling hands, in his previous life, he was in the criminal police team, not in the special forces, this kind of scene is inevitably tense.
"Ahem."
Hearing the coughing sound of the Zhang family's nursing home, Qian Yuan turned his head to look, standing at the front was Gui Youguang, followed by Zhang Xiancheng, Liu Dian, Wu Zhutou, and Zheng Ruozeng, who was smiling and groaning, stood at the end.
With his hands on the ground, Qian Yuan got up with the support of Yang Wen and Zhang San.
Before Qian Yuan could say anything, Gui Youguang with a straight face tidied up his appearance and saluted, "This time the city was besieged by the Japanese Bandits, and the people of Jiading County thanked Mr. Qian. ”
Zhang Xiancheng, who was still a little weak-legged, was saluting, and the Liu Dian, who was guarding the city gate, was pale but also saluting, and Wu Zhutou, who went out of the city together, was too short, and this salute was about to touch the ground.
A sense of satisfaction grew in Qian Yuan's heart, and this emotion quickly took over his body, but he immediately woke up.
Qian Yuan reluctantly tidied up his clothes, bowed in return, "Be for yourself, dare not do your best." ”
