Chapter Ninety-Seven: Wei County Breaks the Vietnamese Army
The two Jinfan thieves who were tightly strangled under Liu Yao's arms had already stopped kicking their legs in a fit of rage, and seeing that Wen Yang was about to die under Gan Zhuo's knife, Liu Yao grabbed a ring-headed knife from the board of the boat in a hurry and threw it over.
Feeling a fierce wind coming, Gan Zhuo turned slightly to the side and dodged the ring-headed knife thrown by Liu Yao.
Seeing that he didn't throw the thief's head, Liu Yao was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes dimmed, if nothing else, Wen Yang would still die, and it would be his turn next.
"The trapped beast is worthy of admiration, but it's a pity that the weak are weak after all." Gan Zhuo sneered and looked at Liu Yao with disdain.
"Woo~"
Suddenly, there was a heavy horn sound in the dark night sky.
Everyone was stunned by the sound of the horn, and by the moonlight followed the sound, only to see a tall and towering building ship sailing from the dark place.
If you look closely, you can see that the building ship is followed by rows of equally tall ships, standing like mountains in the middle of the Yangtze River.
Gan Zhuo's eyes suddenly widened, and there was a hint of fear mixed with some doubt in his eyes: "Damn! How did the Soochow Sailor end up here? ”
Not daring to hesitate for a moment, Gan Zhuo didn't care about plundering this merchant ship, and shouted loudly into the cabin: "It's the Dongwu Sailor!" Withdraw, little ones! ”
I saw the sail thieves hurriedly run out of the cabin, jumped out of the boat and jumped into the water, and so did Gan Zhuo.
The Jinfan thief is very good at water, and after jumping into the water, he swam to his own small boat, sliding the oars and running in the opposite direction of the boat.
Seeing Gan Zhuo and the Jinfan thieves fleeing from this merchant ship in a blink of an eye, the danger was instantly lifted, and Liu Yao felt the pain of tearing in his waist at this time, and more and more blood was pouring out of the ship's board.
Liu Yao's face had become very pale, and he didn't take his last breath when his attention was focused just now, but at this time, he was dizzy and couldn't hold on anymore, and fell directly to the ground without a sound.
"Your Highness!" Seeing this, Wen Yang was so frightened that he got up and hurriedly rushed to Liu Yao's side.
After the withdrawal of the Jinfan thieves, the merchant ship had gradually stabilized and no longer shook so violently, and the only remaining dozen or so minions on the ship also hurried over to help their owner.
Seeing that he was finally out of danger, Wan An wiped a cold sweat and stood up in shock, while asking the little minion to bandage Liu Yao, it seemed that Liu Yao was not lightly injured.
On the other hand, he ordered someone to repair the sails, but unfortunately the mast was broken by Wen Yang during the fight, so he could only cut other planks from the ship and make a new one.
Jianning County, Wei County.
The walls of Weixian County were already full of corpses and severed arms, weapons and feather arrows on the ground were scattered one after another, and there was a fishy smell in the air.
On the city tower, Meng Tai was already wearing a bright red Han army armor, and his face was extremely hideous with blood, but he looked rather sad and half-squatted on the ground.
There was a thin corpse lying on the ground, the head and body of the corpse were only connected by a piece of flesh and skin between the neck, which was about to be beheaded, and the abdomen and chest of the corpse were poked into several holes, and the appearance was very miserable and terrifying.
There was also a half-old child on the side, also wearing ill-fitting Han army armor, kneeling next to him and crying and wiping his tears, his voice was very noisy.
After a long time, Meng Tai let out a deep voice: "Enough! What do you cry like? ”
The half-grown child immediately stopped crying, but still choked: "But my brother is dead!" ”
Meng Tai was silent, he couldn't bear to scold him anymore, looking at the big dog lying on the ground in a miserable state, Meng Tai felt uncomfortable.
Just half an hour ago, the Vietnamese army launched a strong onslaught on Wei County, Meng Tai killed the enemy into a god, and one was unnoticed by the Yue people behind him, and while he was fighting with the enemy in front of him, two spears ghostly stabbed out of his back.
Once these two shots stabbed Meng Tai, no matter how strong and tall Meng Tai was, he was also flesh and blood, and it was definitely a fatal injury.
said that it was too late, and the big dog not far from Meng Tai rushed forward as fast as possible, and used his body to block the two shots for Meng Tai.
When Meng Tai reacted, the two spears of the Yue soldiers had been deeply embedded in the chest and abdomen of the big dog, and even the gods could not be saved.
All he remembered was that the big dog had used all his strength to turn around and smile at him, the kind of smile that seemed to be relieved.
"Brother Meng, take care of Ergou for me." After the big dog finished his last words, his neck was directly cut off by the two Vietnamese soldiers, and his head tilted down instantly.
At this time, facing the corpse of the big dog, Meng Tai's mood was very complicated, he was originally just a carefree prince in South China, and he didn't need to think about anything and didn't need to participate.
He just needs to have fun and do what he likes, and his father naturally helps him with the things that use his brain, but in a short period of time, he lost everything.
His father died in the battle in Nanzhong, his two younger sisters were far away in the Central Plains and the other was missing, his South China also perished, and the only two people he met in Jianning came to Jianning, and one died in front of him, although these two people were not so good, just an ordinary beggar.
"I owe your brother a life, your brother entrusted you to me before he died, from now on, don't call you Ergouzi, your name is Meng Gou, I am your brother, you are my brother." Meng Tai stretched out his hand and touched the wide helmet on Ergou's head.
Ergou didn't answer, just knelt there vigorously and choked, which was regarded as acquiescing to Meng Tai's words.
A soldier wearing Han army armor hurriedly ran to Meng Tai and said, "Junhou, there are only a dozen of us, what should we do?" ”
Meng Tai raised his head and looked around, only to see that there were corpses everywhere in the city, and only a dozen people were left standing alone, and these dozen people were still wounded.
It is said that on that day, Meng Tai became the leader of the villagers of Wei County, and it didn't take long for more than 10,000 soldiers of the Vietnamese army to come to Wei County and launch a fierce attack on Wei County.
Originally, a villager like Meng Tai and his team would not have their turn to go into battle to kill the enemy, but Meng Tai made a military order, saying that he would exchange 50 Vietnamese military heads for the pardon of their team of village warriors.
So Meng Tai took a group of them to sneak out of the city at night, the strength of the Vietnamese army was several times that of the Han army in Wei County, who would have expected that the Han army would dare to go out of the city and attack the camp.
That day let Meng Tai get a advantage, there is a song of the Vietnamese army in the camp sleeping like a dead pig, the only few sentry posts are also secretly dozing, Meng Tai with people effortlessly sneak into the camp, under the sneak attack of more than 100 villagers, many people in the Yue army of a song died in their sleep.
When waiting for Meng Tai to come back with people in the early morning, no more, no less, just brought back fifty Vietnamese soldiers, but the Xiang Yong brought out by Meng Tai also suffered heavy losses, and there were only more than 30 of the more than 100 Xiang Yong left.
However, this battle made the county general Li Yi see Meng Tai's strength and courage, and now Jianning County needs such a person, so he handed over the defense of the city tower of Wei County to Meng Tai, and made an exception to promote him to a military marquis, leading all the newly recruited villagers in Wei County.
But now, there were only a dozen people left on the entire city tower, and Meng Tai couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart, and asked, "Isn't there any news from General Li yet?" ”
The Han sergeant lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and replied: "I heard that General Li was also killed, and there are no Han troops left in the entire Wei County, so instead of staying here to die, let's flee to the north." ”
Meng Tai stared at him sharply and asked, "Escape?" So what about the old folks in this county? Also, can you escape the Vietnamese army on both legs? ”
The soldier was silent, in the case of life and death, he couldn't control the fathers and villagers of Wei County, but he might not be able to escape if he escaped, it was better to fight to the death than to be a deserter, but with more than a dozen of them, facing the Yue army was just an egg hitting a stone.
Meng Tai stood up and shouted to the dozen or so people left on the city tower, "You all come here!" ”
Suddenly everyone moved closer to Meng Tai, some of those people did not belong to Meng Tai's subordinates, but at present, all the officials have been killed, although Meng Tai is only a military marquis, but he is the biggest official among them, and he can only take Meng Tai as the leader.
"My lord! What do we do now? From time to time, the remnants of the guards who came around asked with confused faces.
Meng Tai pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "There are many Vietnamese soldiers outside, and the next wave of attacks will be launched soon, and we will definitely not be able to resist it with a dozen of us, so we can only abandon the city tower and return to the city with other remnants to deal with the Vietnamese army." ”
More than a dozen remnants of the Han army nodded in agreement: "Okay, we'll listen to you!" ”
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The war drums of the Vietnamese army sounded again, and the Vietnamese troops under the city rushed to the Weixian city tower again like a tide.
Meng Tai didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly withdrew from the city tower with more than a dozen remnants and Meng Gou, and hid in the dark alleys of the deep streets in the city.
The gate of Weixian County was finally opened by the Vietnamese army, and the Vietnamese troops outside the city poured into the city, and a catastrophe for the people of Weixian County was about to come.
Huo Yi stood on the hill in the distance, watching the Vietnamese army continue to enter Wei County, and couldn't help sighing: "If this plan is successful, the danger of Jianning can be solved, and it will be bitter to the people of Wei County." ”
Li Yi, the county general who was rumored to have been killed, was standing next to Huo Yi at this moment, and he also sighed solemnly: "If you don't sacrifice the people of Wei County, I'm afraid it will be a disaster for Jianning County and even Zhuti County behind." ”
Huo Yi saw that the Vietnamese army finally entered the city, all this was expected by him, but he was a little puzzled, he didn't expect the Han army in Wei County to be so heroic, only two thousand soldiers and village warriors could stop the Vietnamese army for so long.
"Are you sure you got the news out of your death?" Huo Yi turned his head to Li Yi beside him and asked.
"Back to the governor, the last general has indeed already spread the news of his death." Li Yi also did not expect that the Han army, which had lost its main general, would still be able to effectively defend in Wei County, but it really happened.
Huo Yi suddenly felt a little curious, so he asked, "Could it be that there are still capable people in your county?" ”
Li Yi thought about it, there are indeed no generals in Wei County, and Meng Tai, the township Yong Meng Tai who was just recruited a few days ago, didn't look like an ordinary person, so he replied: "In this way, I think of a person, some time ago, I recruited a township warrior named Meng Tai, who is quite brave and courageous, and dared to attack the Vietnamese army camp at night with more than 100 township warriors, I let him be a military marquis in Wei County, but now that Wei County has been broken, I'm afraid he will be more than lucky." ”
