Chapter 642: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas and Yellow Finches Behind (Part II)

When Mo Jingyao woke up from his dream, there was already chaos outside, and the exclamations of the people and soldiers in the city made him a little in a trance, and he didn't know why the good Danyang City was in chaos.

As a former Suzhou regimental training envoy, Zhu Mian was a very trustworthy general in front of him, and after retreating to the north this time, he found a good errand to help Zhu Mian keep Danyang and the hundreds of thousands of stone of grain hidden in the city, and secretly smuggled these grains to the north to sell in exchange for more money.

This is really an idle fat poor, not only do you have to fight against the Fang La rebels like other soldiers all the time, worrying about when your life will be lost, but you can also get a lot of benefits from it, the only thing you have to worry about is to control the soldiers and civilians under your command, not let anyone leak the news, and at the same time blockade Danyang, so that outsiders can not easily enter the city. What other errand in the world can compare to him?

In fact, in the past two months, Mo Jingyao's life has really been at ease, and while he doesn't have to think about the battle situation in Jiangnan, he has also relied on this to get thousands of yuan, which is more than what he has gained from doing things in Suzhou before.

And yesterday he got another windfall, a group of Yan clansmen who fled from Changzhou to Danyang actually gave him another five hundred taels of gold in order to stay in the city, which is equivalent to the income from selling grain that he had worked hard to withhold from Moke before. Such a windfall naturally made Mo Tuanlian even more happy, so last night he drank a few more drinks with a few of his subordinates, and also got a new little lady, which was really proud, so there was nothing to do.

But who would have thought that Le Ji would be sad, until he saw that there were constantly fires outside, and the exclamations around him were more and more dense, Mo Jingyao suddenly woke up: "It's not good, there are thieves making trouble in the city!" Thinking of this, he was so excited that he couldn't care about the lovely girl who was still on the bed and had tears on her face, quickly turned over and got out of bed, took off her clothes and quickly put them on, and shouted: "What about the people outside, are they all dead?" Why is there such a big mess in the city, and no one reports it? Although he was in the deep house of a wealthy merchant in the city, he was guarded by his own soldiers in front of him, and if something happened, they should come to report it in time.

At the same time as he shouted this, the door was kicked open with a thud, and the sudden thud and the intruder immediately woke the sleeping girl and caused her to let out a scream.

This also made Mo Jingyao angry, but as soon as he raised his eyes, the anger on his face had changed to horror: "Who are you......?"

It turned out that it was not his own soldiers who broke through the door, but several men with hideous faces, who were still carrying knives in their hands, and blood was still dripping slowly from the knives. Seeing his embarrassed appearance in surprise and discoloration in half of his clothes, one of them laughed: "Mo Tuanlian, you and I just met yesterday, why don't you recognize him now?" ”

"It's you ......" This reminder made Mo Jingyao react suddenly, they were the Yan clan who entered the city yesterday, but they looked very obedient and low-key at that time, but at this moment they were fierce and terrifying. At the same time, he also understood everything, and regretted it in his heart, it turned out that the fat sheep Shunmin in his eyes was actually a large group of evil wolves, needless to say, they were making trouble in many fires in the city.

"You...... What do you want to do? There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in my city, if you know each other quickly put down your weapons and surrender, this official can spare your life......" Mo Jingyao was still waiting to threaten a few of them, and those people were already impatiently pressing, and before his hand touched the handle of the knife next to the bed, a few steel knives that were still dripping blood were already on his neck: "Mo Tuanlian, don't struggle." If you want to live, cooperate with us, or else cut off your dog's head now! ”

And after seeing this scene, the girl screamed again, but immediately annoyed a person on the side, who slashed out with a backhand, and killed a charming and lovely beauty on the spot. As the woman next to him died, a few drops of blood splashed on his face, and Mo Jingyao's last bit of courage completely dissipated, and he hurriedly shouted: "This official ...... I'm willing to cooperate with you, you say, let me do what? "His life is in the hands of others, and he has no more regard for loyalty and duty.

The young man at the head smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, you will go out with us to give an order to the Song army in the city, so that they will be obedient and submit to my Wu country." As long as they don't resist and let us take Danyang smoothly, you will have made a contribution. ”

"Okay, as long as you don't kill me, I'll do it." Mo Jingyao suddenly nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice, and then he didn't care about putting on his armor, so he was full of anxiety and walked out hobbled. During this period, everyone did not look at the girl who died tragically in bed again, and for everyone, the life or death of such a person no longer mattered.

When Mo Jingyao was kidnapped by several people and walked out into the street, a scuffle had already started in Danyang City. Although the garrison here is a little greedy for money, after all, it is the elite of the Jiangnan Army that is valued by Zhu Mian, so after the initial panic, many people have reacted quickly under the command of their respective generals, fighting fires everywhere, and looking for spies who are running around the city, wanting to annihilate them all.

And as the thousands of officers and soldiers in the city made these responses, the hundreds of people in the city could not resist, so they could only continue to retreat and go in the direction of the south gate.

Seeing this situation, the people who held Mo Jingyao hostage were a little anxious, and immediately ordered him: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and let them stop!" ”

"Yes, yes......" Mo Jingyao hurriedly agreed, and then rushed forward and surrounded more than a dozen spies, and the soldiers who wanted to kill them on the spot shouted: "I am Mo Jingyao, I order you to stop as soon as possible, and not to be enemies with the brothers from the south......"

His roar spread to the front, so that the officers and soldiers who were killing the enemy with all their might were stunned, and when they turned their heads to look back, they saw that their main general was actually held there by several people, and a few knives were still at his throat, which made the soldiers also feel tight, and they were not in a hurry to kill the enemy in front of them, but shouted angrily: "Bold thief, don't let go of Mo Tuanlian!" ”

"Let them come, or we'll kill him!" Seeing that Mo Jingyao was useful, those guys immediately threatened loudly, and raised their knives to cut them down, but Mo Jingyao's face changed dramatically, and he roared again: "Do you dare to disobey military orders?" Don't let people go, put down your weapons! ”

Now, those soldiers are completely helpless. They were accustomed to obeying the orders of their generals, and now that they saw that the Lord was in the hands of the enemy, how could they have the courage to resist. After only a little struggle, they obediently obeyed, threw down their weapons, and did not dare to do anything more.

And at the same time as they gave up the battle, the guys behind them seized the opportunity to move suddenly, and a few loud shouts accompanied by knives and guns were raised, and they suddenly stabbed into the bodies of these undefended Song army soldiers, making them fall in a pool of blood with unwilling screams. Until they died, they still stared at Mo Jingyao in front of them, they really didn't expect that they would be such a result.

Even Mo Jingyao was shocked, and said angrily: "You guys actually rebelled? ”

"We didn't promise to spare their lives." The young man next to him smiled, and then turned his face again: "What nonsense, come with me and go to the south gate to meet our army." ”

With the steel knife and his neck, Mo Jingyao had no other choice but to be at their mercy and stumbled towards the south gate. And along the way, they encountered several separate Song army soldiers, relying on his regimental training orders threatened, these soldiers who were far above the spies could not block their way, and finally could only watch them join up with some other men and horses in front of them, and the soldiers guarded in front of the city gate that was already wide open.

During this period, the soldiers and horses from all over the city were also completely mobilized and rushed to the south gate. But because of the lack of Mo Jingyao, the main general, it is difficult to coordinate several people, which always gives people a sense of chaos, and the action is naturally much slower. And this, naturally, gave the enemy more buffer time, when Mo Jingyao was carried up to the city, the originally silent distant night had already heard the sound of horns and shouts, a long dragon gathered with torches was rushing at a rapid speed, its momentum was terrifying.

"Haha, General Fang is here!" Seeing this, those who should have done so immediately exclaimed with joy.

And Mo Jingyao on the side was already as pale as earth, and his heart sank to the bottom: "It's over, the thieves have already premeditated, this time the food in Danyang and the city can't be saved......" Thinking of how much trouble it would cause once this happened, Zhu Mian would inevitably implicate his family in a fit of anger, and the general of the Song army was so frightened that he trembled like chaff.

Soon, the elite of this Fang La army has been killed only two miles away from the south gate of Danyang City, although at night, they can also see the inner response at the city gate from afar, which makes Fang Shifo, who is the first to walk in the front, laugh: "Okay! I can't imagine that this Danyang is so vulnerable, and from this point of view, it will be effortless to take Jinling. Brothers, kill, a large amount of food is ahead, we can all have a full meal! ”

These words aroused the fighting spirit of the whole army, and the steps of the soldiers, who had already run a long distance, slowed down, but now they were stimulated again, and they shouted one by one, accelerated again, and ran a mile in the blink of an eye, and were about to rush into the city gate.

And at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

With the sound of whining horns, two groups of soldiers and horses suddenly rushed out of the mountains and forests on both sides of the official road, and the people were still far away, and a large number of arrows had already flown in the air with a whistling volley, and instantly shot into the body of the defenseless Fang La army, screams, exclamations, and instantly resounded, and also made their footsteps pause, but the formation was completely chaotic!
