"Xiao Wan, how can you learn such light skills in just a few months?" Shang Yu asked Lu Wan in the carriage.
"It's my uncle's ancestor Lonely Heart Layman, she is the oldest cultivator in the middle of the heart, she knew that she was going to die two months ago, so she passed on her lifelong cultivation to me, and also taught me the Fengming Body Method, but my qualifications are poor and I am old, and I can only practice light skills in a short period of time, but I will not have time to practice the art of attack in the future." Lu Wan said softly with a slightly gloomy face, obviously the old layman was no longer alive at this time.
"After the person you sent sent the letter arrived, I sneaked down the mountain, and it took me half a month to arrive at this county seat, and after entering the city, I heard that you ordered someone to recruit soldiers in this inn, so I wanted to enter your house in the name of conscription, but I didn't expect you to appear in the inn." When he said this, Lu Wan's face was slightly red and he glanced at Shang Yu, a little shy.
Hearing Lu Wan say this, Shang Yu immediately said with some fear: "I see, it's just that you are too bold, you dare to travel thousands of miles alone, and you can still come with your master on your back, wouldn't it be dangerous if you encounter gangsters halfway?" What nonsense! As he spoke, he glared at Lu Wan with concern, but when he saw the gentle gaze projected on him in Lu Wan's eyes, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
"I went down the Yangtze River, and the road was calm, and my mother left me a lot of silver taels! Dead Wood Fish, how can you carry me back into the window in mid-air? Lu Wan suddenly remembered the scene just now, and couldn't help but blush and said with questions.
Shang Yu was able to take Lu Wan back to the second floor of the inn in mid-air, which really surprised Lu Wan, even if she knew light skills now, she couldn't understand the scene that just appeared.
Shang Yu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and took out an object from his waist and handed it to Lu Wan and said: "This is this kind of thing, the Earth Flying God Grasp I made can withstand the power of thousands of catties, and this kind of filament is not easy to find, I will use this thing to bring you back to the window." ”
After taking the items handed over by Shang Yu, Lu Wan carefully fiddled with them, and then said happily with a relieved expression on his face: "Isn't this the kind of weird thing you made in Quanzhou before?" It's just that it seems to be much smaller, and this filament doesn't look like that kind of rope, so you can get me one for this kind of good baby. ”
She recognized the thing in her hand, it was the kind of flying grab that Shang Yu had done before, and it was more delicate, and she couldn't recognize the filament.
"These filaments are made of silk from a special silkworm on the mountains in Lai'an County, which is extremely tough, so I used it to replace the previous rope to make such an item, if you like it, I will give it to you, and I will make another one when I have time." Shang Yu looked at Lu Wan and said with a smile.
At that time, he remembered very well in the cliff, Lu Wan and him had made a marriage contract, but after Shang Yu threw himself into the cliff, Lu Wan was rescued by Li Yanhong, and Shang Yu was not dead, at this moment in Shang Yu's heart, no one can replace Lu Wan to leave a mark in her heart.
"Good! You haven't changed at all, you're still the same wooden fish. Lu Wan immediately happily put the flying grab into the bag behind his back, and he didn't mean to be polite to Shang Yu at all.
Shang Yu saw Lu Wan put things away, so he smiled and said, "Xiao Wan, if you have no opinion!" When I see your mother, I want to mention our marriage to her old man, don't you think? ”
Lu Wan was originally full of smiles, but after hearing Shang Yu's words, he was a little suffocated, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared and said, "Muyu, let's not mention this matter for the time being, okay?" ”
Shang Yu's heart sank after hearing this, and he couldn't help asking, "Xiao Wan, why can't you mention this matter?" ”
"My mother was very opposed to our marriage, and I mistakenly thought that you had died and had joined the Buddhist sect as a layman. Let's talk about this matter slowly! Lu Wan's face changed several times before he replied, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
"I am currently a county magistrate, and I will become the county commander of Lai'an in a few days, and I am worthy of you as a young lady of the family, my aunt should no longer stop our marriage, and the layman who leads the cultivation is still vulgar, how can there be such trouble?" After Shang Yu listened to Lu Wan's words, he knew that Lu Wan was worried that he would be stopped by Li Yanhong.
Lu Wan shook his head and said, "Muyu, you don't know my true identity, and you don't know what my mother wants to do, I really don't want you to be involved." The look was even more strange.
After hearing this, Shang Yu remembered Li Yanhong's identity as a descendant of the royal family of the Minyue Kingdom, and wanted to tell Lu Wan that he actually knew about it.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of heavy horses' hooves in the street outside, accompanied by the shouts of soldiers.
"The military situation ahead is urgent, all the villagers are passing by, quickly dodge!" Easy to read on mobile phone: ap. tidy up
Outside, there was the sound of pedestrians calling each other to avoid the ground, Shang Yu put away his words, turned around and stretched out his hand to lift the window cover of the car to look out, and was taken aback, only to see the soldiers on several horses not far in front of him rushing towards the carriage with pale faces, but seeing their clothes and holding red flags, they immediately recognized that it should be Tang He's subordinates.
"Big Brother Tang He should be in the area of Leiguan Town at present, if there is no urgent military situation, how can he send soldiers with the order flag back to Lai'an?" Shang Yu thought of this and immediately shouted: "Stop, this official wants to get out of the car." ”
......The driver in front of him immediately stopped the carriage, and although there were soldiers and horses rushing in front, the rebels would never ram the carriage, because the carriage had a flag representing the county government, and he was not afraid.
Without waiting for the carriage to stop, Shang Yu pushed open the door and jumped out of the carriage, standing on the side of the road, the soldiers on horseback saw a banner with the county government mark, and began to slow down a few feet away from the carriage, and had stopped when they reached the carriage.
"I'm Shang Yu of this county, what happened to Lei Guan?" Shang Yu asked anxiously, these soldiers looked panicked and disheveled, obviously rushing back from the front in a hurry.
"The little General Tang sent an order to his own soldiers, and personally returned to the city with the general's order flag to ask General Hu for help, and I hope that Lord Cheng of the county will borrow it!" The flag-holding soldiers did not dismount because of Shang Yu's registration, but just hugged their fists and asked Shang Yu to give way.
"Asking for help? Could it be that something happened to Brother Tang? Shang Yu asked again.
"Please give way to Lord County, General Tang is facing nearly 10,000 enemies with 2,000 men and horses, I'm afraid there will be unforeseen consequences if it's late, let the little man report to you later!" The soldier said with a little anger.
Shang Yu is currently only a civilian official, and this herald is naturally anxious to see Hu Dahai in an emergency, so how can he have time to explain to him.
Shang Yu immediately understood the urgency of the situation, turned around and ordered the coachman to give way to the carriage and let the soldiers pass.
The herald of the first place no longer spoke to Shang Yu, but after a slight fist clench, he led several soldiers to the east school field with a few soldiers.
Shang Yu got into the carriage at this time, and then said to the coachman: "Quickly go to the East School Field." In his heart, he was a little worried about the danger that Tang He was in.
The coachman said yes in front, and immediately turned his horse's head, turned the carriage around, and hurried towards the east school yard.
"Xiao Wan, the military situation in the area of Leiguan Town is urgent, as a local county magistrate, I must go to the East School Field to learn the details, and when I get to the East School Field, I will order the coachman to send you back to the county office." Shang Yu said with some uncertainty.
Leiguan Town and Jiqing Mansion (now Nanjing) are across the river, who will attack Tang He? Moreover, judging from the analysis of the short sentences spoken by the herald, the scouts sent by Tang He did not find any trace of the other party at all, and hastily began to engage the enemy under attack.
If Lei Guan is lost, then the territory of Lai'an County will be greatly threatened, Hu Dahai is a general stationed in the city, and Shang Yu, who is responsible for defending the land, should also participate, he naturally has to rush to the school to find out the whole story, and discuss with Hu Dahai the enemy's strategy.
"Muyu, then you have to go back to Fuzhong earlier!" Lu Wan heard the conversation between Shang Yu and the herald very clearly, and immediately said in understanding.
A few hours later.
Lei Guan Town, who was splashed with blood all over his body and stood on the earthen wall about one zhang and five places with a gloomy face, glaring at the black and oppressive Quanzhou volunteers outside and said: "Those Persian dogs were transferred by the Yuan dogs to attack my Leiguan Town, and there were tens of thousands of people who came, and they were able to cross the river quietly. ”
A hundred households stood beside Tang He with some trepidation and bowed down and said, "General Tang, please cure your subordinates for their crimes!" The scouts sent by the river did not report to me in time, so the enemy army surrounded our Lei Guanzhen, and his subordinates were willing to die and be in power. ”
The other hundred households were also standing on the left and right of Tang He, their faces looked very ugly, and this time the enemy army was only discovered by the righteous army who were training in the field ten miles away from Lei Guan, which made them feel unacceptable to this day.
Tang He sighed, glanced at the hundred households, and then said: "As the commander-in-chief, I don't know the enemy, how can I cure you for this?" Those Persian descendants are proficient in water, and they must have sent good swimmers to cross the river, and then killed the soldiers and scouts we sent on the bank of the river, so that they could sneak into the vicinity of my Leiguan Town so quietly, and Yuan Gou was very wishful thinking! ”
The soldiers wearing pointed leather hats outside are the nearly 10,000 volunteers who were transferred from Quanzhou this time, and assisting the Jiqing Yuan army to attack the Chuzhou rebels is their main task of the rebels, and it is also a strategy for the two 10,000 households in Quanzhou to confuse the Yuan court, although the number is large, but all the old and weak soldiers, otherwise Tang He only has 2,000 men and horses, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to retreat under the attack of nearly 10,000 volunteers.
But at this moment, Tang He could only defend the town, and had repelled several attacks by volunteers on the earthen wall outside the town, but nearly a thousand corpses had been piled up and down the earthen wall and on both sides, and the blood had also soaked Tang He's clothes, although it was not the blood on his body, but it made Tang He's heart continue to calm downward.
"Four hours ago, I ordered the herald to go to the county government to ask for reinforcements, hoping to support it, all blame me for sending hundreds of people to various places in batches to lurk, I didn't expect the Persian dog to be transferred, Yu Dingyuan, you lead hundreds of soldiers to deploy in the northeast corner, you must persevere, as long as General Hu leads the army to kill, we can protect the mine officer without loss!" Tang He resolutely said loudly to the hundred households beside him.
"Yes, General!" Seeing that Tang He did not blame him, the hundred-man immediately agreed, and immediately led the soldiers to the northeast corner.
"The impact on this frontal earthen wall is the greatest, if you can't keep Lei Guan, you can't make Lai'an safe, and my Tang He will also die here, I just hope that Lao Hu can lead the team to help soon!" Tang He muttered anxiously.
At this moment, a hundred meters under the earthen city wall, another group of 2,000 siege soldiers and horses rushed forward with dozens of ladders, shouting and killing the sky, and there were more than 200 archers in the back row, and in the back were siegers with swords and shields, seeing that this time the situation was obviously more fierce than the previous attacks, and the number of people was twice as large as the last time.
Tang He saw that the other party was getting closer and closer to the earthen city wall, and his anger was even stronger, and he raised the steel long sword in his hand and shouted: "All soldiers, take a shield to protect the city, the Persian dog has come up again, you must defend this city." ”
Immediately behind, hundreds of soldiers with swords and shields rushed to the wall with their local officials, and at this time, dozens of ladders of the volunteers had also been erected on the earthen wall, and at this time, hundreds of arrows were also shot at the head of the wall outside the wall.
In this gap, those Quanzhou volunteers who climbed up the ladder began to prepare to seize control of the earthen city wall.
"Kill! Don't let the dogs invade the city! Tang He stabbed a sword into the eye socket of a volunteer who had just jumped on the wall, kicked the man away, and shouted loudly.
The real ladder was about a foot wide, enough for two soldiers to climb up at the same time, so that nearly a hundred people would climb the earthen wall at the same time, and the city wall was not spacious, but the volunteer archers outside the wall were very good at archery, and kept shooting arrows at the head of the city.
In such a situation, it is extremely difficult to avoid being shot by bows and arrows, while at the same time killing enemy soldiers who are constantly climbing upwards.
This time, the attack method of the Quanzhou volunteers was obviously very effective, and the number of the Red Turban Volunteers on the city was constantly decreasing, but there were still nearly 1,000 people on the other side who did not climb the wall.
The soldiers on both sides continued to splash blood on the earthen wall, and people kept falling, shouting and killing endlessly, Tang He saw this scene, and couldn't help shouting: "The second team of men and horses replenishes the city, even if it is the last person in the whole army, Lei Guantu City must not be lost!" ”
This Leiguan Town has been repaired by Tanghe for several months, and the original earthen wall has been heightened, which can be called a small underground city at this time, otherwise it is impossible for him to resist the attack of tens of thousands of Quanzhou volunteers with only more than 2,000 soldiers and horses.
Although the soldiers of the second team of hundreds of people only rested for less than half an hour, they could only immediately obey the orders to climb the wall, shouting and screaming for a while, and blood was constantly splashing in the air, but the Persian volunteers of Quanzhou still continued to press towards the city.
Tang He organized counterattacks again and again at the head of the city, constantly killing or kicking the enemy troops who climbed to the head of the city, he looked out of the city at this time, but saw the second team of two thousand Quanzhou volunteers appeared not far away again, and was approaching the earthen wall, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart: "The arrows used by the archers of my Lei Guanzhen have been exhausted two hours ago, and these dogs can still keep such a steady supply after crossing the river, so our soldiers defending the city have suffered such heavy casualties!" ”
After piercing the chest of an enemy soldier who rushed up in front of him with a sword, Tang He immediately pulled out his sword and retreated, quickly glanced at the remaining men and horses in Lei Guantu City, and sighed in his heart: "But with a pillar of incense, our army actually killed hundreds of people, if it goes on like this, it will definitely not be able to defend this city!" ”
At this moment, he heard a commotion from the volunteers outside the city, Tang He looked out with a smile on his face, and thought: "Look at the smoke and dust that is visible from the military and civilian official roads in the north, it is obvious that reinforcements are coming!" ”
"The whole army obeys the order, and our reinforcements are coming! After this battle, he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and he will go out of the city with this general to kill the enemy later! Tang He shouted.
"Whoa!"
"Kill! Kill all the dogs! ”
All the red turban rebels at the head of the city wall were in good spirits and immediately responded to the shouts, originally holding the heart of death, at this time they heard that the reinforcements were coming, their morale and strength suddenly increased several times, and they shouted and waved the weapons in their hands to stab the Quanzhou rebels who climbed to the top of the city.
