161: Thousand Riders Roll Pinggang
Thousands of horses roll flat hills.
The ground shook rhythmically, followed by thunder, smoke and dust billowing in the wilderness, and a group of iron horsemen formed a long black line, galloping like a dragon.
In the dust, the iron cavalry rushed forward wrapped in a fierce aura, but it ignored the cowardly people lying on the ground and continued to move forward fiercely.
The sound of hooves faded away, and the ground was full of dust.
A half-grown boy got up from the ground, patted the thick floating ash on his body first, and then pulled his mother, Lao Ye and others up, and forced himself to calm down: "Get up, the soldiers are over." ”
A one-armed man wearing a sheepskin jacket snorted hard at the mud and sand in his mouth, and said angrily: "Run so fast, hurry up and go to reincarnation." ”
"Her father, you have a broken mouth again, why don't you pack your things and hurry away."
The half-grown man came over to help straighten the basket and asked the one-armed man: "Eighth uncle, you have been a soldier, have you been so powerful before?" ”
The one-armed man said angrily: "Where did we pull such a fierce horse team from Nantang, don't ask, it must be from the Northern Zhou." ”
"Ahh Do we want to report to the police? ”
"Report a fart, in addition to shrinking in the city to pee, what else will you do, go quickly, let's go to the ridge, this road is unstoppable."
"That's the army of the Northern Zhou."
The one-armed man patted the boy's head angrily, and said: "Who do you care who sits in the Jinluan Palace, if you can give us tax exemption and reduced service, we will kowtow and thank you, and ......leave quickly."
The horse team, as the one-armed man said, is the special task force of the Great Zhou Qianli Hunt for Fighters.
They wore Tang costumes, wore Tang armor, and held Tang flags, but the fierceness of this person and horses was not something that the Southern Tang Dynasty could have.
There are people in the court who are good officials, Cao Bin not only came to the most elite iron cavalry battalion, but also selected thirty skilled people among the loose personnel, and also equipped Jiayin's flying tiger cavalry with two horses.
plus the guards of Wu Jilie, Bai Xingba and others, there are exactly 1,000 people.
They brought enough dry food and horse feed, traveled 300 miles a day, took a small road, avoided Chuzhou, crossed Liuhe, went straight to Yangzhou City, and went to the woods 20 miles outside Yangzhou City on the night of the third day.
Qin Yue spread his legs like a crab, carefully peeled off his pants, and galloped for three days, and the flesh and skin had already worn out, and when he took off his pants, he couldn't see the blood.
Cao Bin was also uncomfortable, he couldn't stop shaking his legs, looked at Jia Yin, who was feeding the horse carefully, and said angrily: "You didn't say that this guy's skin and flesh are more tender than yours, why doesn't he have any." ”
Qin Yue finally separated his pants from the flesh and skin, grinned in pain, and replied angrily: "The water that was still tender a year ago is perverted." ”
"I say, don't you steal the city at night?"
Cao Bin said: "Stealing fart, Yangzhou City is three points higher than Shouzhou City, three major gates, and Urn City, how to steal, only tomorrow morning to go in a big way, surprise."
It is said that when he entered the city, he had to sleep on his stomach for a night no matter what, and his waist was broken. ”
Qin Yue lay down on the bluestone, put his head on the back of his hand, and said tiredly: "I'll give you a chest push." ”
“!?”
……
Yangzhou is the eastern capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, in the troubled times, here is a rare peaceful paradise, decades have not heard of war, there are fertile fields and praise, there are rivers to nourish the land of fish and rice, raised the unique reserve and leisurely style of Yangzhou people.
Entertainment is prosperous for thousands of years.
As the sky gradually brightened, Yangzhou City, which had just fallen silent in the light song and slow dance, slowly woke up again, and all kinds of noisy sounds began to sound in the streets and alleys.
The inside and outside of the city gate is even more lively.
Outside the city are those who go into the city to sell vegetables, carry meat, push water tanks to sell fish, and are in a hurry to go into the city to do errands...... In the city, there are people who are in a hurry to go out of the city to do work, run errands, and travel far away, and people inside and outside are crowded, just waiting for the city gate to be opened.
"Let it, let it go...... It's you who are in a hurry to get out of the city, not Lao Tzu. ”
Lao Zhu, who was guarding the city, snorted, stretched his waist, squeezed through the crowded crowd under the majestic wings of the ten brothers, and walked to the city gate.
If people are more than half a hundred, there is no future at all, and enjoying the flattering smiling faces of people who are anxious to go out of the city and enter the city every morning and evening is one of his few happy lives.
Open the thick lock, remove the thick latch, and the heavy door slowly opens with a screeching sound.
The people who were in a hurry to get out of the city rushed up, but the people who entered the city had to queue up to pay the tax to enter the city, and they could only watch with a resentful face as the city guard slowly moved tables, chairs, and baskets.
Lao Zhu brought a big tea bowl, sat on the big stone outside the city gate and drank tea, the sunlight refracted from the treetops, driving away the cold of spring, this is a refreshing good weather.
He enjoyed the rare warm spring sun, but today's sun seemed to be more violent, and it dazzled his eyes.
He lowered his head and took a sip of tea, squeezed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that the tea was swaying, and then heard a rumbling sound from a distance.
They stood up and looked at the awning in their hands, but saw a strong horse team marching majestically towards the city gate.
"On the city, can you see the flag clearly?" Lao Zhu roared heavily.
"I only saw a Feng character, and I wanted to enter the city under the banner."
Lao Zhu snorted, drank the tea in three or two sips, and was putting the bowl down, when the guards on duty ran down from the city.
"Be in good spirits, line up, this must have been sent by Xiangye."
Lao Zhu looked at the leader and straightened his waist, and sneered in his heart, he didn't even do the shouting and checking that the army had to do before entering the city, and it was just a matter of not pulling the drawbridge, at least rejecting horses and the like, where the responsibility was, it was such a child's play, and the people of the Feng Xiang family would bird you?
Lao Zhu hummed in his heart, but his hand unconsciously unfastened his belt and tightened it again.
The earth shook suddenly, and the horsemen who were less than three hundred paces away actually got up and galloped, Lao Zhu opened his chin in surprise, and saw a fierce black shadow rushing over like a tiger and leopard, and a sharp battle axe was raised......
"Ah......h
Lao Zhu only felt a chill on his neck, and then he didn't know anything.
With the sound of screams, the gates of the city suddenly jumped and the chickens and dogs jumped, fortunately...... When she is dying, even a sixty-year-old lady can escape like a fly, except that she is really timid and can't take a step.
It wasn't until more and more screams rang out, and a thousand cavalry all entered the city, that the defenders at the head of the city felt that something was wrong, and the alarm bell rang "dangdang".
But apparently late.
The Left-behind Mansion is a landmark existence in the city, and a thousand cavalry rushed to the Left-behind Mansion at a gallop, and the guards with a bewildered face had not yet reacted, and a long knife was already on their necks.
Cao Bin was in high spirits, stepped on the middle gate, and led a brigade of sharp soldiers straight to the government.
And Bai Xingba, Shi Cheng and others had already dispersed and surrounded the left-behind mansion tightly.
As for Qin Yue and Jia Yin, the horses did not stop, they bent down on horseback and grabbed a common man, asked for directions, and went straight to Yong'an Palace.
Feng Yanluyou, who was left behind in the Eastern Capital, was awakened by the noise outside in his dream, and said angrily: "What's the noise? ”
The subordinate replied outside the house in fear: "There is a large army rushing into the house, it may be ...... Probably from Kyochu. ”
Feng Tinglu said with a smile: "It must be that Brother Ah sent someone to fear him, and Hugh panicked, and he waited for someone to rise up to welcome him." ”
When the two concubines saw him get up, regardless of their own cover, they immediately hurriedly waited for him to dress.
Feng Qianlu closed his eyes and stretched out his hand.
Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and a young general strode forward with a bloody sword in his hand.
"Ah......h
