Chapter 4: The Lost Dog
Shoot a man first and shoot a horse first, and capture a thief first and capture the king first! Heaven and earth will fall, and the next one is Wu Yuanming who is present! Therefore, Wu Yuanming saw the opportunity and no longer hesitated, and immediately aimed at the Qian Zong who was dismounting and pulled the trigger, and the heavens fulfilled the wishes of the people, Wu Yuanming's marksmanship, which was not much stronger than Song Gaozong Zhao Gong's son, suddenly had divine help, and only one shot was fired, and the Qing army Qian Zong turned over and fell off the horse, and the Qing army, which had completely gained the upper hand, was immediately in chaos, creating an opportunity for the people of the Heaven and Earth Society.
"Rush! Get out! Taking advantage of the chaos of the Qing army, the old man surnamed Cai mustered up his strength and shouted to command, and killed the black-clothed girl in one breath, struggling to cut down the two Qing soldiers who were besieging the black-clothed girl in the most urgency, and took her out of the encirclement of the Qing army. These people's martial arts are not bad, and when seven or eight people get together, it is difficult for the Qing army team to stop them, and they are clashed together several times, and gradually retreat to the gate of the back garden.
Not to mention that the people of the Heaven and Earth Association were struggling to kill over there, just saying that Wu Yuanming exposed his position after a shot, just waiting for Wu Yuanming to change ammunition in a hurry, there was already a squad of Qing troops over there searching and outflanking it, Wu Yuanming did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly escaped from the place under the cover of the flowers and trees in the garden, and even rolled and crawled to dodge in the dark, and did not know how to step on dog feces and bird feces during the period. It's a pity that no matter how big this garden is, it is not as big as the garden of Wu Yuanming's house or Aobai's house, and there are a lot of torches in the garden, Wu Yuanming didn't run far before he was discovered by the Qing army, "There!" Hit the general with a musket, and the anti-thief is there in the rockery! "Catch him!" One of the Qing soldiers chased the fastest, first rushing into Wu Yuanming's ten zhang, Wu Yuanming had no choice but to raise his hand and knock him over with a shot.
"Quick, take him for ammo, on!" The Qing army was not stupid, and was not easily intimidated by Wu Yuanming's musket sharp weapon, and saw that Wu Yuanming was open to change ammunition and rushed up with shouting, at this moment Wu Yuanming had no choice but to pull the musket machine in his left hand, and injured a Qing soldier who rushed to the front. But because of the dark sky, none of the remaining Qing soldiers saw clearly that the musket in Wu Yuanming's hand was a new weapon that did not need to be ignited, and still rushed over without hesitation. It's a pity that none of the people present were either the Heaven and Earth Society or the Green Camp of the Qing Army, and none of them were willing to save Wu Yuanming's criminal life, Wu Yuanming could only watch those Qing troops force themselves in front of him......
"Young master, young master, run." Just as Wu Yuanming was about to be captured, two men with half of their bodies full of arrows stumbled behind him, waving their knives and fighting with the Qing soldiers who were approaching Wu Yuanming, Wu Yuanming took a closer look and found that these two people turned out to be the two Wu Sangui guards who were carrying Wang Fen just now, because they were facing the back garden gate sideways, so when they were sneak attacked, they only had arrows on the side of their bodies, so they insisted on living until now. The two guards vomited blood while frantically dancing their swords to kill the enemy, and one of them shouted: "Young master, run over the wall!" If we don't make it, leave us alone! ”
"Don't worry, from now on, your family will be my family!" Wu Yuanming shouted very unjustly, quickly replaced the two muskets with ammunition, inserted one musket into his waist, put one in his mouth and bit it, and ran towards the courtyard wall. It's a pity that Wu Sangui lived up to the expectations of the two guards, when he ran to the courtyard wall in one breath, he found that he couldn't climb the towering courtyard wall, and in desperation, he was surprised to see that the people of the Heaven and Earth Society had broken out of the encirclement and rushed to this side, and it seemed that they also wanted to escape from the wall here, and the Qing army behind them was in hot pursuit.
The martial arts heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society are not like Wu Yuanming, one by one, they either grasp the wall with both hands and jump out, or step on the rockery trees and jump out directly, and some simply use Wu Yuanming as a stepping stone - stepping on Wu Yuanming's shoulders and head and jumping onto the courtyard wall. But Wu Yuanming is not a good thing, when a man in black stepped on Wu Yuanming's head and jumped up, Wu Yuanming subconsciously raised his hands and grabbed the man's calves. I don't know if Wu Yuanming wants to drag a cushion on his back or wants to use his strength to pull himself up to the courtyard wall, in short, Wu Yuanming grabbed the man's calf tightly and almost pulled the man off his head, and the man screamed, "Dog thief, let go of me!" The voice was crisp and beautiful, and it turned out to be the girl in black who exposed Wu Yuanming's tricks.
"Miss! Hold on to my hand! The old man surnamed on the wall of the courtyard screamed and grabbed the hand of the black-clothed girl, dragged her to the wall, and the other people from the Heaven and Earth Society also came to answer, and with concerted efforts, they actually kicked the girl into the air with Wu Yuanming. And when there was a slight delay, the Qing army behind had already caught up, Wu Yuanming was in a hurry, one hand tightly grasped the girl's straight and sturdy calf, grabbed the musket in his mouth with the other, raised his hand and shot over a Qing soldier who rushed to the front.
"His firecracker doesn't need to be lit!" It was not until this moment that the Qing soldiers found out that the musket in Wu Yuanming's hand was powerful, and the footsteps of the cowardly pursuit couldn't help but be sluggish, Wu Yuanming took the opportunity to put the musket to his waist, and pulled out another musket and pointed it at the Qing army, forcing them to dare not approach. And the people of the Heaven and Earth Congregation on the wall worked together to pull the black-clothed girl and Wu Yuanming over the wall, and both fell on the street outside the Yawai of Licheng County.
It's strange to say, after Wu Yuanming, who thought he was going to fall half to death, not only didn't hurt much on his body, but also felt very comfortable under his body, especially on half of his face, and at the same time, a crisp and beautiful scream came from under Wu Yuanming, "Ouch, crush me!" My feet, my feet are broken! Hurt! Wu Yuanming subconsciously turned his head and saw that he was actually pressed on the girl in black, and what was worse was that Wu Yuanming's face was buried in the middle of the girl's already large-scale small breasts - Wu Yuanming could use Wu Lu's head to vouch! I definitely didn't rub it on purpose.
"Dog thief, dare to be rude to our young lady!" The other black-clothed men were furious, and they each stretched out their hands to grab Wu Yuanming, Wu Yuanming knew that he would definitely die if he fell into their hands, so he pointed a musket at the girl's chest in a hurry, and shouted, "Who dares to come over?" I'll shoot this little hoof! Those people of the Heaven and Earth Society were afraid that Wu Yuanming's desperate move would really hurt the girl's life, so they hurriedly retracted the righteous iron claws that grabbed Wu Yuanming. The old man surnamed Cai, who began to deal with Wu Yuanming, said in a deep voice: "Let go of our miss, we will let you go." ”
"Let me go?" Wu Yuanming snorted coldly, and said, "Look at your back, it's one thing if you can walk or not." The old man surnamed Cai looked back and saw that the fire was bright behind him, and a large number of Qing troops chased after him from behind, and at the same time, there was also a shout of killing in front of him, and the old man surnamed Cai couldn't help but sink in his heart, and quickly asked Wu Yuanming: "Aren't you Wu Sangui's big traitor's subordinate?" Why did the Tartar army kill even your men? Even you catch it? There is only one battalion of garrisons stationed in Licheng County, and they have not moved beforehand, where did these Tatar troops come from? ”
"I don't know where the army came from, in short, your heaven and earth will and our Wu family have fallen into the enemy's tricks." Wu Yuanming quickly replied: "I am using Fang Dahong to contact you, but I have no malicious intentions - the details will be discussed later, the enemy wants to provoke and intensify the hatred between our Wu family and your Heaven and Earth Society, and use the hands of your Heaven and Earth Society to cut off our Wu family's Western Election Officials at all levels in the thirteen provinces of the north and south." In a word, our Wu family and your Heaven and Earth Association are not enemies who do not share the same sky, but comrades-in-arms who are in the same boat! ”
"Heaven and Earth will be upright, how can they be in the same boat with the people of the big traitor Wu Sangui?" The old man surnamed Cai said angrily. Wu Yuanming pulled the girl to stand up, pointed a gun at her waist and snorted coldly: "It's okay if you don't want to be in the same boat, anyway, I am the person of the king of Pingxi, how can the Tartar army give the king of Pingxi some face, I will send your young lady to the hands of the Tartars, how can my life be saved." ”
"Shameless!" The old man surnamed Cai and the girl in black scolded angrily at the same time, and the old man surnamed Cai was calmer and asked, "Then what do you want?" ”
"Break through together!" Wu Yuanming gritted his teeth and said: "There is someone who will answer me in Nancheng, you can open the city gate at any time, we will join forces to break through to Nancheng, and when we get out of Nancheng, I will return your young lady to you, and we will go our separate ways." The old man surnamed Cai was a little hesitant, but the Qing army had already killed nearby at this moment, and the people of the Heaven and Earth Society on the periphery had no choice, so the old man surnamed Cai had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay, let's join forces for the time being." ”
"Then rush south!" Wu Yuanming pulled the girl in black and left, the old man surnamed Cai also commanded like this, and the people of the Heaven and Earth Society were busy surrounding Wu Yuanming and the old man surnamed Cai to rush to the south, but Wu Yuanming hadn't taken three steps yet, and the girl in black was pulled in his hand and screamed: "Ouch, it hurts, my foot is broken, I can't walk." Wu Yuanming wailed with a bitter face, "Alas, you are really troublesome." Helplessly, he carried the girl on his back, carried her on his back and followed everyone to the south to kill.
The green battalion soldiers who suddenly appeared in Licheng County had about one and a half battalions of troops, although this was enough to encircle and annihilate all the people of the Heaven and Earth Society, but it was in a narrow area, and when they arrived on the streets and alleys and houses were densely populated, these green battalion soldiers could not help most of this group of Heaven and Earth Sect thieves who could fly the eaves and walk the walls, and were extremely good at melee street combat. Under the leadership of the old man surnamed Cai, the people of the Heaven and Earth Society rushed all the way, breaking through several fragile defense lines of the Qing army one after another, and were invincible all the way. However, Wu Yuanming, who often learned army tactics from Yao Qisheng, was not very optimistic, and had been paying attention to the enemy's organization of bow and arrow attacks.
Sure enough, a leader of the leaderless Qing army stood up, rode on a horse and raised his arms and shouted: "Don't mess up!" Listen to me! Two left and right outposts outflanked from both flanks, and two outposts prepared to ...... with bows and arrows. Wu Yuanming was most afraid of the enemy's intensive bow and arrow attack now, so he didn't want to raise his hand and pull the trigger on the general, but it was a pity that Wu Yuanming was extremely far away from the total, and after the lead bullet was shot out, he didn't know where to fly, but the loud sound of the musket scared the general into a short body. Wu Yuanming didn't dare to give him a chance to organize the army, so he hurriedly put the black-clothed girl on the ground, quickly took out gunpowder and lead pellets and put them into two muskets, and fired two shots at the general company, the first shot was still crooked, and the second shot hit the general officer's hat, knocking his red tassel top far away. Seeing that he had become the target of sniping, he didn't dare to risk organizing an army, so he hurriedly rolled off the saddle and hid, and the Qing army that had already begun to organize immediately lost command and was in a state of chaos again.
"Let's go." Wu Yuanming refilled the musket with ammunition, and quickly picked up the black-clothed girl who had broken her feet and stepped forward quickly. The girl in black lay on Wu Yuanming's shoulder, leaned into Wu Yuanming's ear and hummed: "Hmph! Big liar, although your musket does not need to be ignited, it can only be fired single, and at first you dared to lie to me, saying that it can be fired six times in a row! ”
"Don't lie to you, didn't I die in your hands?" Wu Yuanming replied shamelessly while running briskly: "If I didn't save this life, then who could snipe the general of the Tartar army?" If you let the Tartar army organize, no matter how many of your people are ten times greater, you will not be able to escape, and you little girl will be captured alive by the Tartar army. At that time, even if you, a little girl, look like Zhu Bajie's second aunt, the men of the Tartar army will not dislike it. ”
"You say I look like Zhu Bajie's second aunt?" The girl was furious, raised her hand and grabbed Wu Yuanming's ear and pulled it nonsense, and said angrily: "You look like Zhu Bajie's second aunt, you are uglier than a pig!" The face is yellower than the yellow paper, and the bones on the face are taller than the pig's nose. ”
"Okay, okay, my little aunt, you are beautiful, you are beautiful, you are as beautiful as my sister Hui'er! We're running for our lives, so spare me. Wu Yuanming realized his serious mistake and hurriedly begged the girl in black for mercy. The girl in black was stunned at first, and then smiled coquettishly: "With your appearance, your sister is not as beautiful as there." Wu Yuanming snorted coldly in his heart, he didn't bother to argue with her, he just paid attention to the Qing soldiers who rushed over next to him, and at the same time raised his gun to threaten the enemy who might be close. Fortunately, Licheng County is not very big, Wu Yuanming and Tiandihui and his party did not run for long, and the tower at the south gate of Licheng appeared in view.
"Quick." Wu Yuanming raised his gun and brandished: "The city gate of the south city is controlled by my people, and it will be no problem to rush out of the south gate." In the conspiracy with Wang Fen, Wu Yuanming had asked Wang Fen to hand over control of the south gate to Wu Lu and two guards, so that he could escape from the city gate with Fang Dahong in the plan, and Yao Qisheng and Hui'er Little Girl, Wu Shou, Wu Xi and other guards were in the ten-mile long pavilion outside the south gate, ready to respond at any time.
At this time, the girl in black saw that the musket in Wu Yuanming's hand was very hot, so she said coquettishly: "Your musket is so powerful, anyway, you have two, take one for me to hold, so I can help you fight the tartar." Wu Yuanming's magic weapon that dared to defend himself and save his life was handed over to this girl who didn't know hostility, and refused: "No, you won't use it, what if you go off and hit me?" ”
"Who says I can't use it? When I was in Taiwan, I used to play with muskets - I just didn't use this musket that didn't need to be ignited, you give it to me! The girl's personality was very rude, her left hand strangled Wu Yuanming's neck, pressed Wu Yuanming's shoulder, and went to grab the musket. But at this moment, a feather arrow flew in the darkness, aiming directly at Wu Yuanming's right temple, but because the girl happened to press Wu Yuanming's shoulder, the feather arrow shot to the girl's right back shoulder. The maiden immediately screamed, "Ah! Someone put a dark arrow! ”
"Someone released a dark arrow?" Wu Yuanming turned his head in surprise, and immediately saw a black shadow on the roof on the right side of his eye, Wu Yuanming hurriedly pulled the trigger on the black shadow, but the black shadow was very flexible, and when Wu Yuanming's musket just spewed fire, the black shadow rolled off the roof, and several vertically disappeared between the overlapping houses.
"Miss, how are you? You okay? The old man surnamed Cai heard the sound of the black-clothed girl being hit by an arrow, and hurriedly retreated to check. The girl in black cried out with a crying voice: "I was hit by an arrow, I used this dog traitor as a shield, I was wronged." ”
"Who told you to snatch my musket?" Wu Yuanming replied angrily when he got a cheap deal, and shouted at the old man surnamed Cai: "She has me to take care of, you rush forward, if you go out of the city, we all have to die here!" At this time, the Qing army had already formed a team according to their respective formations and rushed over, the old man surnamed Cai was helpless, so he had to rush forward with a tiger roar and a knife, Wu Yuanming followed quickly, and the girl was lying on Wu Yuanming's shoulder and humming **, complaining about her bad luck from time to time.
The combat effectiveness of the reorganized Qing army is indeed extraordinary, a small team can easily deal with a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, and the Qing army has also seen through the intention of Wu Yuanming and others to prepare to retreat from the south gate, and one or two sentry men and horses have already made a detour to rush to the city gate, and it seems that they want to defend the city gate so as to be the turtle in the urn. Fortunately, Wu Lu and the others, who were guarding the city gate, also saw that the situation was not good, and had already opened the city gate and lowered the drawbridge, preparing a way for Wu Yuanming and the others to escape. In order to prevent accidents, Wu Lu, who was quite anxious, also took the two guards to smash the reels that pulled up the suspension bridge and the latch of the city gate - anyway, Wang Fen didn't have to pay for it, so as not to be blocked by the Qing army.
"Rush! Rush! Seeing that they were only more than a hundred steps away from the city gate, Wu Yuanming and the people of the Heaven and Earth Society mustered up their spirits and rushed forward, but the Qing army behind and to the left and right also sped up their pace, and when Wu Yuanming and others were only dozens of steps away from the city gate, they rushed to the ranks of the Heaven and Earth Society, and immediately rushed the people of the Heaven and Earth Society to pieces, and Wu Yuanming, who was carrying the girl in black, and the old man surnamed Cai were scattered by the Qing army. In the chaos, five or six Qing soldiers approached Wu Yuanming's side, and Wu Yuanming hurriedly raised his gun and shouted: "Don't come here!" Whoever comes first will die! These Qing soldiers have also heard that there is a kind of fire gun that can be shot without ignition among the thieves of the Heaven and Earth Society, and no one dares to approach Wu Yuanming under timidity, Wu Yuanming took the opportunity to run towards the city gate, the musket was still pointed at the Qing soldiers, but he still rushed out twenty steps, and the girl who was lying on Wu Yuanming's shoulder exclaimed: "You are on the left!" Wu Yuanming didn't think about it, turned around and shot to the left side of his body, and after a loud bang, he tried to sneak attack Wu Yuanming, and the Qing army was shot far away - but the musket in Wu Yuanming's hand was also out of bullets......
"Muskets can only be fired once, catch them!" One of the Qing soldiers who followed Wu Yuanming shouted and took the lead in killing, but at this moment, another musket rang out, and the Qing soldier immediately fell to the ground on his back. Wu Yuanming didn't need to look back and shouted with joy: "Wu Lu! "It turned out that Wu Lu, who was in front of the city gate, also had a musket to defend himself, and no one in the Qing army was equipped with muskets except for the Shenji Battalion.
"Shizi." Wu Lu, who rushed over on a horse, forgot to change his name in a hurry, rushed directly to Wu Yuanming's side, led a horse to Wu Yuanming and shouted: "The prince of the world, get on the horse, let's withdraw and talk." At the same time, the other two guards also led the horses over, and when they saw that Wu Yuanming had no companions around him, they couldn't help but exclaim: "Young master, what about the other brothers?" ”
"They all sacrificed their lives for the country." Wu Yuanming gritted his teeth and replied, helped the girl onto the war horse again, rode behind her by himself, and said while loading ammunition: "Let's rush out quickly, if the Tartars chase and kill tightly, we will see you in the Ten Mile Long Pavilion." Wu Yuanming also added after a moment's pause: "If the Qing army pursues far away and goes too scattered, we will meet at Yangzhou Lichun Courtyard." Wu Yuanming also made a mistake in a hurry - he was not sure if there was a Lichun Courtyard in Yangzhou.
"Rush!" After Wu Yuanming finished loading his ammunition, he roared and rode his horse to the city gate first, Wu Lu followed closely, and the two guards fought and retreated, blocking the back road for Wu Yuanming. rushed to the city gate in one breath, there were Qing soldiers guarding the gate, and when he saw Wu Yuanming rushing to the gate, he raised his gun and stabbed indiscriminately, Wu Yuanming shouted: "Death to those who block me!" The two-handed muskets opened the bow left and right, knocking over the two Qing soldiers one after another, frightening the other Qing troops to subconsciously slow down their movements, Wu Yuanming took the opportunity to ride his horse from their side, and rushed out of the city with a whip - as for Wu Lu and the two guards in the back, as well as other people from the Heaven and Earth Society, Wu Yuanming, who had lost his conscience, didn't care about them. But the girl struggled and cried out, "No, wait for our brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society." ”
"They've rushed out. If we don't run away, the Tartar army will rob you of your wife, and if you want to live in the Tartar military prostitute camp for the rest of your life, you just have to wait. Wu Yuanming said coaxing and frightened. The girl really knew what the prostitute camp of the Qing army was, so she quickly shut up and stopped shouting, but the sharp pain in her shoulder hit again, making her whisper more than **. At this time, a noisy voice came from behind, "Catch them!" Grab those horseback riders! ”
"Wu Lu, they also escaped." Wu Yuanming breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that the people of the Heaven and Earth Society did not have horses to ride, and there were a few Wu Lu people who rode horses. When he looked back, he saw that the Qing army had chased out of the city, and more than ten of them chased over here, so frightened that Wu Yuanming kicked the horse's stomach hard, and he didn't even have time to distinguish the direction, so he fled forward in the dark......
I don't know how far I ran, in short, Wu Yuanming kept kicking the horse's belly and running around, and took the time to shoot behind to intimidate the pursuers, at least when they ran out of twenty or thirty miles, Wu Yuanming and the girl in black finally didn't see the shadow of the pursuers again. But Wu Yuanming, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, still kept urging the horse to run fast, and fled like a lost dog in the dark night, only pitiful of the war horse under Wu Yuanming's crotch, not only to endure Wu Yuanming's big kicking and urging, but also to carry a man and a woman two big living people to run for their lives......
