Chapter 8: The Army of Tigers and Wolves
Xu Wen's guard looked at the group of warriors in front of him who came to attack the city like wolves and tigers, although he hadn't read a few military books, but he had heard a lot of plays, he only knew that the siege could be attacked with cannons, but he had never heard of the cavalry rampage to attack the city.
Zhu Jianwen stood beside Lu Yunzhi and crossed his arms and shoulders and said: "What the hell are you going to do, rushing to the city like this, there is no siege weapon to open the city gate, and there is no ladder to go up to the city, how do you want to fight." Lu Yunzhi smiled and asked the people beside him: "This team of mine is responsible for smashing the Yellow Dragon, to hide the whereabouts and move forward, and then carry out a rapid attack to the capital, if you carry siege equipment, it is naturally easy to be exposed and will affect the speed of the march." ”
Fang Qingze said: "Then why don't you let me help you make it first, and then hide it in the suburbs of Beijing, so that you can use it directly when you get there." ”
"Well, this is a good way, but the capital is where Yu Qian is, if he is found to have set a trap, not only the second brother's method of contacting your store may be discovered, but also the trap may be set to lure us in, speaking of which, I suddenly remembered one thing, what happened to Yan Liang, the teahouse shopkeeper who helped us escape to Bazhou back then, I can't count the slightest trace of him, but the second brother hid him." Lu Yunzhi said,
Fang Qingze was stunned for a moment and sighed and said: "According to the shopkeeper who escaped the catastrophe, Yan Liang did not tell the route and whereabouts of our escape until he died, according to the description, I guess that Cheng Fangdong killed the shopkeeper Yan, I took the family of the shopkeeper Yan to Timur, and I will give him a part of the business when his son is older in the future, Yan Liang died for us, what a good man." Zhu Jianwen also sighed after hearing this, if Yan Liang hadn't bought time with his life that day, maybe everyone would have been surrounded and annihilated a long time ago.
Lu Yunzhi nodded and replied: "Exactly, not everyone is a good man like Yan Liang, as the second brother of a businessman, you should know the temperament of most businessmen, so once your plan is implemented, the merchant who built or hid the utensils will have a life worry, and if there is a rebellion, our overall plan will be disrupted." "Then how are you going to attack the city, it won't be to cut down the city wall with a knife." Wu Hao asked,
"See for yourselves." Saying that, Lu Yunzhi pointed to Xu Wen under the city, only to see the cavalry rushing to the city running in a line, ten people running in a row without panic, neatly and uniformly, led by the main general Bai Yong, they went directly to the city gate, the soldiers defending the city prepared hot oil, rolling stones and other things, ready to smash down when the cavalry arrived at the city,
The general defending the city raised the last ounce of courage and shouted: "Prepare for hot oil, no matter what they want to do to burn them, send some more men to guard the city gate, use long logs against the city gate, and do a good job of reinforcement." Seeing the cavalry getting closer and closer, the guard shouted again: "Ready, archers, within fifty paces, listen to my order to fire a volley." As soon as the words fell, I saw Bai Yong on the horse, suddenly took a sharp breath, released the reins of the horse with both hands, put two fists on his waist, and threw out his fists with a loud shout, and two golden lights flew out from his fists, and the four people beside him also gathered their qi one after another, transforming their qi into various colors and shapes, and the qi of the follower Bai Yong hit the city gate,
The city gate was smashed in an instant, and the general defending the city was also a talent, although he was already stunned, but he still reflected it, and ordered: "Defend the city gate, swear to the enemy, don't care about the officers and soldiers in the city, still smash the city, smash it for me, kill one is one, archers, shoot it for me." ”
Many of the officers and soldiers defending the city and the people who came to assist in the defense of the city were frightened stupidly, and only a few people reacted when they heard the order of the guard, some bent their bows and arrows to shoot arrows, some used cloth pads to hold up the oil pot and wanted to pour it under the city, and a few people struggled to carry the stones and sassalwoods to smash down, at this moment countless gray-black mist emerged on the city wall, and the mist wrapped around them and strangled people suddenly, and none of the tools used to defend the city were subdued by the ghosts that came out.
In the team, Dong De shook the abacus in his hand and made a low sound, black gas kept coming out from the abacus, and it became a ghost quickly into the ground and then appeared on the wall, Dong De's face was a little pale, and the corners of his forehead kept sweating, Ah Rong also chanted words in his mouth, and from time to time one or two ghosts came out of a bottle in his hand, but he didn't drill into the ground and just rushed straight to the super wall, although the number of ghosts driven by Ah Rong was not as huge as Dong De, but it was also a little difficult,
This team quickly entered the city, needless to say that the defenders in the city were naturally not opponents, they threw away their armor and raised their hands to surrender, in this battle, Lu Yunzhi's team was not injured, and it took only two teas of time, Lu Yunzhi and Zhu saw that Fang Qingze Wu Hao four people rushed into the city, Lu Yun ordered Qiu not to commit any offense, the whole team stayed in the temple or camped in the open space in the city, and was not allowed to enter the people's houses, and ordered the whole city if the army and the people did not resist to keep it safe, if one household resisted the slaughter of ten households, if there was a rape and insult when the army entered the city, it would also be beheaded,
Lu Yun got off the horse and walked quickly to Dong De's side, Dong De was sitting on an abandoned stone mill, his emaciated face was a little pale, and he pushed up his glasses from time to time to wipe the cold sweat on the bridge of his nose, while Ah Rong was shushing on the side to ask for warmth, Dong De saw Lu Yunzhi walking to his side and wanted to get up and salute, but Lu Yunzhi took the first step and pressed Dong De's shoulder and asked with concern: "It's okay, Dong De, was there too many ghosts just now, and my body couldn't stand it." ”
Dong De nodded and replied: "Lord, you are worried, but most of the troops are stationed at the head of the city, according to my observation, after our side attacked first, more than a dozen soldiers came from the city to the southwest of General Qu, and I drove hundreds of ghosts for the first time, and I was a little powerless." Lu Yunzhi smiled slightly, and said: "It's the first time to drive so many ghosts and spirits, it's good to take a rest, every time the limit will greatly improve the fate qi, I didn't know that there were so many ghosts hidden in your abacus, it seems that I have to study it carefully another day, Ah Rong, you drove a few ghosts today." ”
Ah Rong smiled awkwardly and said: "Lord, Ah Rong is useless, I just drove fourteen, I will work hard in the future to share more for Brother Dong." "It's already very good, you've only been studying for less than a year, and you've made rapid progress from getting started to being able to drive fourteen ghosts, and it seems that I'm really not wrong." Lu Yunzhi looked at Ah Rong appreciatively and said, "In the future, you two have to continue to urge the group of people we pulled up at the beginning, not only to satisfy them with weapons engraved with spirit runes, but also to let them learn the art of exorcism, which can also reduce your pressure, when we want to attack Beijing, I can't watch the enemy for you, I still have to deal with Yu Qian, right." ”
"What the lord said is very true." Dong De and Ah Rong replied with their fists clasped,
