72 Fan Cage (4)

The corpses in front of the vermilion lacquer gate are scattered, the blood is flowing freely, and the two large copper knockers on the left and the right are like the eyes of the gate, ignoring the tragic situation all over the ground. At this moment, the gate seemed not to be a shortcut through the gold and silver treasure mountain, but a bloody mouth of a man-eating beast.

On the top of the two towering watchtowers behind the door, the light flickered, Zhang Dingguo looked at the fire in the distance, and came to Zhang Kewang and proposed: "Big brother, why don't we also set fire to the door?" No matter how powerful the watchtower is, the arrows shot can't help but flame! ”

Zhang Kewang immediately vetoed: "Bad idea." The outside of the gate is wrapped in copper and iron, and you may not be able to burn it for three days and three nights. And you need firewood to burn the door, where do you find firewood at this moment? Tearing down houses and cutting down trees? Too much time-sparing. ”

"But big brother, once it burns, the fire and smoke can obscure the view from the watchtower, which is beneficial to our army to rush the wall!" Zhang Dingguo was a little unconvinced.

Zhang Kewang glanced at him and said, "It's not me saying you, if you don't think about it, you can only compensate your wife and break your soldiers." If you take a closer look, what is the direction of the wind now? ”

As soon as the words came out, Zhang Dingguo spit some saliva on the back of his hand and raised his hand to test it, and then he was stunned for a moment, and was speechless for a moment. Zhang Kewang shook his head and smiled: "You set fire, do you want to burn our own people to death or smoke them to death?" Then his voice sank, and he ordered, "Go to the unseen corner of the watchtower and find ten horses and ten people." ”

Zhang Dingguo doubted: "This is?" ”

Zhang Kewang instructed him a few words, Zhang Dingguo hesitated slightly, and then saw Zhang Kewang glaring at him fiercely, and hurriedly obeyed the order. Then Wang Jiye was also called over, and only heard the order: "Pick twenty agile, shrewd and capable people, throw long weapons, and only bring waist knives and short axes." At that time, look at the flag in my hand and wave it only to move forward, and those who are the slightest waver will be killed! ”

Wang Jiye exclaimed: "The Wangfu Wanglou is powerful, and our cavalry has no shield, so I am afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past if I rush to attack." As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Zhang Hui'er, who was hanging her head in frustration.

Zhang Kewang sneered: "General Wang, you were so decisive on the way here, why did you shrink your head now?" ”

Wang Jiye was shocked in his heart, and he was still surprised, but he heard Zhang Kewang continue in a stern voice: "I have my own arrangements, and I won't be stupid to give away the lives of my brothers!" The words came out of her mouth, Zhang Huier's face was gloomy and very ugly.

"Yes." Wang Jiye's nervousness eased slightly, and he didn't say anything more to him, and hurried away.

Zhang Kewang's expression was as cold as a knife, staring intently at the vermilion lacquer gate, there were sporadic arrows falling on the watchtower, and the range of depression was larger, and the Xiying horsemen who were stacked around the gate not far from the gate had to retreat one after another, and they had to retreat for nearly fifty steps.

After a while, the team suddenly started to riot from behind, Zhang Kewang looked back, but saw Zhang Dingguo leading ten horses through the gap between the separation. In line with Zhang Kewang's plan, the ten horses were all sitting on a common man who had just been caught along the street, but they were not sitting on horses, but all of them were tied to the horses with hemp ropes.

"Big brother, get ready." Zhang Dingguo rubbed his hands together and looked at the frightened people on the horse uneasily. Not only him, but the rest of the onlookers in the Western Camp cavalry were also shocked.

Zhang Kewang's face was like water, and he said lightly: "Very good." He leaned behind him and made sure that each horse's tail was tied with a cotton linen that had been temporarily torn from the soldier's body.

"Tail the ponytail."

"Big brother ......" Although Zhang Dingguo expected what would happen next, at this juncture, he still couldn't help but beat a thousand small drums in his heart, "Can this work?" ”

"Do what I say!" Zhang Kewang replied proudly, "But ten horses and ten people, are they as important as our army's attack on the palace?" Even if Zhang Xianzhong said that he would reward Zhang Kewang with the palace, but in the ears of Zhang Kewang, who has always admired Zhang Xianzhong, it was heavier than a military order. Think about it, if you can't get what you're rewarded, won't it become a big joke? is that Zhang Kewang's current psychological pressure is hundreds of times greater than what he sees on the outside.

Zhang Dingguo was in a trance, and he only felt that the eldest brother in front of him, who was extremely close to him in the past, seemed to have changed tonight, and there was an indescribable sense of alienation. The eldest brother's face is cold, and his heart is also cold. He didn't dare to disobey his eldest brother's order, so he promised to give a look to the few soldiers on standby behind him. The soldiers immediately raised their torches and set fire to all ten ponytails without mercy.

The fire was like a stream, and there were sparks falling to the ground like water droplets, and the war horses with their tails on fire suddenly neighed wildly, and the soldiers made persistent efforts to stab the horses in the buttocks, and in an instant, the war horses that could not bear the severe pain galloped away side by side in the direction of the palace gate like arrows off the string.

"Wang Jiye!" As soon as the war horse came out, Zhang Kewang immediately shouted.

"The villain is here!" Wang Jiye replied loudly, and the twenty horsemen who were ready to attack beside him also raised their swords in response.

Zhang Kewang moved his gaze to the front, and the command flag in his hand was slowly raised. I saw that when the ten horsemen ran and jumped into a hundred steps away from the gate, the two watchtowers were touched for a while, and they shot continuously in an instant. Ten horses with bright flames were so striking that the defenders on the watchtower rained down even more arrows.

This is exactly what Zhang Kewang wants.

Only then did Zhang Dingguo understand the strategy that his eldest brother came up with temporarily. Although the two watchtowers occupy the commanding heights, they are too far from the ground in order to avoid the upward shot. It was dark again, and even though the distant light of the fire was coming, the sight of the defenders above was still dim, and they could only vaguely determine whether the western camp had launched an attack according to the outline, and because of the difficulty of aiming, they could only kill with a large area of cross-volleys.

Although Zhang Hui'er's recklessness caused some damage to his own army, it also left an impression on the defenders on the watchtower. Habitual thinking can sometimes be used very well, and Zhang Kewang also takes this into account. With the conspicuous fire war horse as the first charge, the stimulation is stronger than before, and it will inevitably attract the great attention of the watchtower defenders, and when they shoot in a round and their attention is not shifted, it is a good time for the follow-up troops to rush in. And the people who are right away are just adding to the scene.

After calculating the many steps before and after in the blink of an eye, Zhang Dingguo only thought clearly now, and only then did he get enlightened, and looked at Zhang Kewang who was standing tall and straddling the high-headed war horse. At this moment, the way he looked at his eldest brother was no different from looking at his father-in-law Zhang Xianzhong.

"Up!" Zhang Kewang waved the flag, Wang Jiye didn't have time to give the order, and the twenty horsemen who were stupid and waiting for the battle rushed out of the ranks early. The iron hooves of the war horse flew over, and in the blink of an eye, it was already about ten steps close to the gate. They were the most agile men in the army, and before their horses could stop, they were leaning on their horses, throwing their hooks, and climbing up to the gates or the eaves of the palace walls. With a kick under his feet and a tug on his hands, he suddenly broke away from the horse's back and hung down to the door wall.

At this time, the watchtower defenders had been rescheduled, and bows and crossbows were fired in a volley with bird guns, but to no avail. The twenty brave men of the Xiying had already climbed the door wall along the hook rope, and then quickly climbed into the palace.

With a successful blow, the morale of the Xiying side was greatly boosted, and the mountain roared like thunder. Many of them excitedly shouted "Hurrah". Even though everyone knew that this was for the success of the brave men of Xiying, Zhang Dingguo inadvertently saw Zhang Kewang squinting his eyes, and he actually had a look of enjoyment, as if this "long live" was called to him.

There are not many soldiers in the palace who can fight, and they only invade the western camp with more than ten suppressors from the watchtower. The brave men of Xiying, who successfully entered the palace, first broke up a group of children who were blocked on the ground inside the door, and then immediately divided into two roads and quickly killed the watchtower. In the end, the actual combat ability of the royal family is insufficient, and it is okay to defend it with danger, and the real hand-to-hand combat is not the opponent of the elite of Xiying for the rest of the battle. After a while, the lights on the two watchtowers were suddenly extinguished, and even the vermilion lacquer gate with the palace slowly opened.

"Rush to Lao Tzu!"

Zhang Huier was overjoyed and once again ignored Zhang Kewang and led the pioneers. Zhang Kewang watched him gallop out with a dark face, and said to Zhang Dingguo and Wang Jiye: "Kill it." Pass on my order, looting is okay, but all the people in the palace are gathered, and no one must be killed first! ”

Zhang Dingguo said "yes", and when he saw that Wang Jiye seemed to be a little hesitant, he asked: "General Wang, why are you listless?" ”

When he said this, Zhang Kewang's gaze turned around, and Wang Jiye hurriedly said: "No, there is nothing to do." With that, he hurriedly walked away and urged the soldiers to go.

"General Wang is a little strange today." Zhang Dingguo muttered.

Zhang Kewang shook his head indifferently and did not speak.

The soldiers of the Xiying entered the palace, just like a tiger rushing into the meat forest, Zhang Huier led a few soldiers to cut down every person, where to listen to Zhang Kewang's orders. Zhang Kewang had no choice but to follow Zhang Hui'er in person, in case he suddenly rose up and killed the wrong person. Even if Zhang Xianzhong handed over the palace to Zhang Kewang for disposal, Zhang Kewang decided to leave at least Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang, Zhu Changcheng, the king of Fuqing, Zhu Changgan, the king of Jinxian, and Zhu Changfa, the king of Guiyang, father and son, to be personally sent by Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Huier thought that she was too oppressed in the prison, and her originally violent personality was vividly displayed at the moment. As long as you see a person along the way, you will cut a knife, just like the flowers and plants that passes.

There was a little maid who was not injured by his knife, and ran away with her shoulders, which aroused his bestial nature, and chased after him with flying feet, stepped on the ground, and dragged her people with her slender ankles like a mop bag, and walked straight for hundreds of steps, from the stone floor to the gravel garden, even if she went up the stairs without stopping. When Zhang Hui'er was out of breath and felt tired to shake off the little maid, the poor man lying on the ground was already unrecognizable. Zhang Kewang blushed, silently watching Zhang Hui'er's atrocities, and remained silent.

Turning into a moon gate, Zhang Hui'er suddenly walked faster, Zhang Kewang grabbed the servant in the mansion who had just been questioned by Zhang Hui'er, and asked, "What did you say to him?" ”

The servant was frightened, and said softly: "The villain said that the lord of Huaqing of the Rui Domain is also in the mansion, so change his life!" ”

"Rui Fan...... The county lord ......" Zhang Kewang didn't expect the servant to shake out the news, slapped his armor, and said hurriedly: "Oh no! ”

Zhang Huier is lustful by nature, and this time she is excited to the word "county lord". Zhang Kewang couldn't analyze how a county lord of the Rui Domain could be in the Xiang Domain, in his opinion, the county lord of Huaqing was also extraordinary, and his importance was no less than that of the four kings of the Xiang Domain.

"Let's go!" Wang Jiye came out of nowhere with a team of soldiers, looking more anxious than Zhang Kewang, "Don't let Zhang Hui'er's lewd thief succeed!" ”

"You ......" Zhang Kewang was so strange, but Wang Jiye actually left him and chased after Zhang Hui'er, so he didn't have time to question and followed closely behind.

The relatives of the Xiangwang Mansion heard that the mansion was broken, and they all hid in the backyard. Zhang Huier took a knife to open the way, and soon found Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang, and other royal relatives who were trembling. He formed a half-arc with soldiers, forced more than 50 people up and down the palace to the root of the courtyard wall, stuck his spear on the ground, opened his mouth and smiled and carried his waist knife, protruded a few steps to the front and asked in a loud voice: "Lao Tzu Xiying Zhang Hui'er is the most reasonable, never killing innocents indiscriminately." Here, which one is the county lord of Huaqing? ”

I asked twice in a row, but no one answered.

"Damn, Lao Tzu salutes first and then soldiers, don't be ignorant!" Zhang Hui'er licked her lips, scolded and suddenly burst out, rushed into the crowd, dragged out a half-grown child, and hung the knife behind his head, "Lao Tzu asks again, if the county lord of Huaqing still doesn't come out, Lao Tzu will take this little cub's round brain melon first!" ”

The half-grown child was so attached that he didn't dare to struggle, but cried and cried for help. Although he is not the heir of Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang, he has a blood relationship with the princess's mother's family.

Zhang Hui'er was so unhappy that she deliberately took a knife and struck twice on the back of the half-grown child's head, and Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang, burst into tears but was silent after all.

"Don't say? Okay, then Lao Tzu will kill them one by one. Look at Lao Tzu's knife, can you kill Kaier and others' mouths! Zhang Hui'er smiled and was about to cut the knife down, but out of the corner of her eye, a woman in white walked out of the crowd at this time.

"Stop!" The woman in white raised her willow eyebrows, her forehead was frowned, and her trembling lips and teeth were full of anger, but even so, she still couldn't hide her alluring appearance.

Zhang Hui'er was stunned for a moment, her eyes were straight, she swallowed her saliva, threw the half-grown child aside, and walked towards the woman in white in a daze, seeing that the two were only half a step apart, Zhu Yiming's surrounding relatives were so frightened that they hid their faces and didn't dare to look at it again.

"You, you are...... It's Huaqing...... The lord of Huaqing? Zhang Huier was somehow soft and weak. He has played with a lot of women and seen a lot of women, but if it weren't for the woman in white in front of him who said a word, he really thought that the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the temple had come to the mortal world.

"Yes, I'm Huaqing." The woman in white faced the murderous Zhang Hui'er, without fear, but raised her head high. She is slender and not below Zhang Huier, so Zhang Huier, who is hooked and hooked, actually has a feeling of being looked down on.

"Good, good ......" Zhang Hui'er's saliva in surprise seeped out of the corners of her mouth, and she came back to her senses, her eyes were full of obscene insults, "What a county lord, really, really extraordinary!" As he spoke, he put the knife back into its scabbard, freeing his hands.

"What are you going to do!" Hua Qing unconsciously took a step back, and the crowd behind her looked at Zhang Hui'er in horror as if she saw a greedy wolf Pixiu, and also retreated. It's just that behind them is the cold courtyard wall, and there is no way to retreat.

"Bastard, what are you going to do!"

Zhang Hui'er didn't say anything at all, her eyes were full of fierce light, and she pinched Hua Qing's neck, and not far away, Zhang Kewang, who had just arrived, shouted. Around him, Wang Jiye even led the crowd to block it.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

A long lance stabbed out of the air like a spirit snake in motion. The lance probed past Hua Qing's thin neck as white as snow, and just pierced through Zhang Hui'er's throat. A stream of blood dripped a few points along the slightly sloping lance blade on Hua Qing's shoulder blades, like a red plum falling into the snow.

"Uh-huh......"

Zhang Hui'er's hand stiffened in mid-air, and he fell on his back in astonishment, only to hear a chuckle in his ear-

"Xiying 'Four Tigers', hehe, this is all work!"
