Chapter 45: The Hostages of the City
Bai Yong knew that most of his men were cavalry, and the number was not too much, and the ambush naturally could not completely kill the enemy's reinforcements, but it was good to let them lose something, and finally be able to dissipate the previous nest qi, what he didn't expect was that he and Lu Yunzhi coincided, they both thought of the ambush, and also thought of Zhen Lingdan's marching route, and several of them met in Tingzi Mountain, so they formulated a thorough three-wave ambush plan,
Zhen Lingdan really hit the plan, speaking of which Bai Yong's skills of pretending to go north are really clever, even Zhen Lingdan didn't see through it all at once, Bai Yong placed more than 100 people under Jiujiang Mansion to monitor the movements of Jiujiang Mansion, most of them were dressed as light horses, and they came and went quickly, while the large army was marching towards the north in a mighty way.
Bai Yong and they crossed the river to Hubei, and then went down diagonally like Lu Yunzhi's marching route, but in order to confuse Zhen Lingdan, Bai Yong still left more than 500 people, tied branches to their horses' tails, leaving a lot of distance between each two horses.
In order to increase the realism, Bai Yong also ordered the five hundred people to attack several small cities with few garrisons, and along the garrison of Zhen Lingdan's defenders according to the place just within sight, they kept whistling past, Zhen Lingdan ordered to catch up, but in the end he found the branches scattered on the ground, and immediately understood that this was just a brigade of cavalry pretended by the enemy, but in fact, there were not many people,
Since he is not here, where is the main force, and when will Lu Yunzhi come from Beijing, Zhen Lingdan thought about it and broke out in a cold sweat, he instantly felt as if he was trapped in a well-designed trap by them, Zhen Lingdan no longer wanted to design the soldiers and horses to ambush Lu Yunzhi, he felt that this was too risky, and the plan for today was to keep his troops, he had calculated well, and was ready to lead several groups of troops that had arrived in Jiujiang Mansion, and took Zhu Qi to Xiangyang in one place, and held the city so that it could be safer, As for the reason why Jiujiang is now in Jiujiang, it is because staying together with the large army can make Zhen Lingdan feel more at ease.
Zhen Lingdan didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately led the army to retreat, and the team was rushed to Jiujiang before they had time to rest and rest, it was really a little miserable, and when she was exhausted, she saw the five ugly vein lords coming to report the news, Zhen Lingdan was extremely angry and suppressed the evil fire in her heart to prevent it from attacking, otherwise she really wanted to cut off the five pasty heads of the five ugly vein masters with a knife,
Zhen Lingdan didn't say anything else, and after a glance at the five ugly veins, he ordered to continue the march, and the flowers bloomed two and each showed a branch, and under the city of Jiujiang, the Ming army pressed the border to surround Jiujiang Mansion heavily, of course, the rebels in Jiujiang Mansion did not give up resistance, and wanted to repeat the old tricks, using iron thistles and a few poor soldiers to be "chic" again, but this time there was no Ming army, and he lost a lot of troops to enter,
So, the rebels of Jiujiang Mansion closed the city gate and cowered in the city and did not dare to come out, and pushed Zhu Qi to the city wall and set off a scolding array with the Ming army, they knew that their reinforcements were completely wiped out and did not rush to surrender, and under the oppression of the Ming army, they showed the last trace of madness, the rebel leader was afraid of Lu Yunzhi and Bai Yong's skills, and surrounded Zhu Qi with only one head exposed, and his body was full of steel knives, and he tightened the knife in his hand when he heard some wind and grass.
The corners of Zhu Qi's mouth showed a sneer, standing on the head of the city, there was a feeling of righteousness and awe-inspiring heroes going to death, but he didn't dare to move, and his body would be cut out by the sharp steel knife as soon as he moved, and soon he would no longer put on this posture, because the soldiers next to him were more nervous than him, and the sharp blade accidentally opened a lot of holes in him, Zhu Qipai changed a sad expression, those soldiers with knives continued to move like this, they were going to put themselves to death,
Zhu Qipai knew that unless the city gate was opened at this moment and all the rebels surrendered, he would not be able to escape death, and he might not have been stabbed to death by an overly nervous soldier at the last moment, thinking of this, Zhu Qipai's body trembled slightly, and suddenly several steel knives behind him fell into the flesh, and the painful Zhu Qipai's eyes almost burst into tears, so he didn't dare to move,
Hey, when the matter is about to die, Zhu Qipai only then knew the horror of death, after the failure of Yu Qian in the capital, Zhu Qipai thought about death, but he never thought of dying in front of tens of thousands of people in such a scene, and soon Zhu Qipai was no longer lonely, and his family was dragged to the city.
A rebel general yelled at the Ming army: "Zhu saw that you are a turtle son, you are not filial, you dare to lead the troops when you see your father tied up in the city, retreat quickly, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill your father and let you stink for 10,000 years." ”
No one answered from the Ming army, Zhu Jianwen gritted his teeth, and his eyes were about to burst into flames, Bai Yong and Long Qingquan scolded one by one despicably and shamelessly, and Long Qingquan said: "Brother-in-law, I move quickly, or you pretend to retreat to cover, I will try to rush to the city to see if I can successfully save people." ”
Bai Yong nodded, thinking that this method is advisable, he has seen Long Qingquan's speed, maybe this inhuman speed is the way to save people.
Lu Yunzhi shook his head and said: "No, although Qingquan's speed is amazing, if you can't kill all the soldiers at once, Uncle Zhu will still have to worry about his life, besides, your speed is too fast to slash and kill surrounded by knife handles, it is inevitable that you will not touch the knife that makes the air hurt Uncle Zhu's life, even if you kill all the people who are held hostage, if you carry the hostages and escape at this speed, I am afraid that Uncle Zhu will not be able to stand it at this age." ”
"Lord, you think it's good, Brother Long Xian is in front, the lord and I follow, after saving people, we will block the siege of the people around us, and your lord, you will take Uncle Zhu to withdraw to the camp." Bai Yong said,
Lu Yunzhi coughed lightly and said: "But the first two points I said before still can't be solved, I'm afraid that on the way to save people, I will be seriously injured and even let Uncle Zhu die." In this series of conversations, Lu Yunzhi did not call Zhu Qi the king again, but resumed the title of Uncle Zhu back then, which made Zhu Jianwen's brows slightly flattened.
Zhu Jianwen said at this moment: "Even if I can save my father's side, what if you are injured again, then my sin will be great." ”
Bai Yong blinked his eyes and asked: "Lao Zhu, how can there be anyone else, don't say it's your father's concubine, what to do to save her, and those brothers of yours I heard that although they are young, they are not a good thing, let's leave it alone, let's study how to rescue my uncle." ”
