Chapter Ninety-Three: The White Lotus Sect
Ningling City was also in chaos at this time.
Tianxian Lou, the peony sitting in Kong Youde's arms suddenly turned cold, and he didn't know where to get a dagger to stab at Kong Youde.
In an instant, Peony changed from a weak woman to a female assassin with extraordinary martial arts.
Although Kong Youde looked a little dizzy, it was just not what he pretended, after all, as a Northeast man, this little wine is nothing at all, but he didn't want to get drunk and couldn't refuse other people's feelings, so he pretended to be drunk.
At the same time as Peony made a move, dozens of masked men suddenly came in from outside, and these masked men held sharp swords and stabbed Kong Youde's other soldiers.
Is Kong Youde an easy person? He rolled over to dodge Peony's attack, and then kicked the stool at Peony, and the Peony snorted angrily, and a jump stepped on the flying stool into the air.
Fortunately, the roof of this house is high enough, otherwise the peony would have hit the roof.
Wang Badan and those squires turned pale with fright at this time, they didn't expect such a thing to happen, how could a weak woman in Peony become so powerful?
Who the hell are these people?
"Who are you, and why are you attacking this king?" Kong Youde took a breath and looked angrily at the woman who was still in his arms just now.
Peony snorted coldly and said: "You traitor, everyone in my Han Dynasty will be punished, remember that my aunt and grandmother are taught by the White Lotus!" Die! Before Peony's words fell, the sword had already stabbed violently at Kong Youde's chest.
There was a scuffle in the room at this time, the table and food were all knocked to the ground, and the masked people were all extraordinary martial arts, obviously martial arts masters. However, the generals under Kong Youde do not eat rice, and they do not fall behind in the fight.
It's just that the squires are suffering, and they are all squatting and hiding in the corners of the house, crying and mourning.
"White Lotus Sect? Cult, sooner or later, this king will have to report to the imperial court and exterminate you White Lotus cult! ”
Kong Youde twisted his body, jumped to the other side a few times, picked up a wooden stick from the ground and said coldly.
Peony sneered: "Destroy the White Lotus Sect? You don't have that strength in a small country! Kill you thief first! ”
"Boom !!"
The candle was knocked to the ground, and the wooden room was ablaze.
"It's out of the water! It's out of the water, come and put out the fire! The people outside didn't know that there was a fight inside, and when they saw the house burning, they immediately shouted in a hurry.
At this time, there were five hundred guards waiting for Kong Youde outside, and those guards hurriedly rushed in, but that scene made the guards stupid.
"Assassin! Assassin! Save the General! ”
Immediately, more than 500 guards rescued Kong Youde and began to attack Peony and those masked people.
"Bring the bow and arrows to the king!" Kong Youde shouted angrily.
As the words fell, a delicate bow and arrow was handed to Kong Youde's hand, only to see Kong Youde take a sharp arrow and aim at the peony, and then suddenly let go.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow pierced Peony's throat and fell to the ground.
"Let's go!" The men in black saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly fled through the window.
The "boom boom" fire became more and more vigorous, and the entire Tianxian Building was about to be buried in the fire.
Wang Badan and the squires had already fled, and then Kong Youde and his five hundred guards also evacuated the Tianxian Tower, which was swallowed up by the flames.
Only the old bustard was shouting in the middle of the building.
Wang Badan really didn't know what was going on, how could there be an assassination suddenly, fortunately Kong Youde was fine, otherwise he would have lost his life. However, what Wang Badan didn't know was that at this time, Kong Youde's army outside the city was about to be destroyed, and he still couldn't escape the involvement, even if he didn't know it.
Kong Youde glanced at Wang Badan coldly, and then said to the guards beside him: "Let's go out of the city and meet the soldiers outside the city, let's go!" ”
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, Xia Guan really doesn't know, I really don't know!"
Wang Badan cried with a sad face, chasing Kong Youde with a handful of snot and tears, but where does Kong Youde still want to pay attention to him now? I almost lost my life just now.
"Let's hope there's nothing going on outside the city.
The avenue where the entrance of Tianxian Tower is located is the central axis of Ningling City, and it is the south city gate if you go straight.
Just as Kong Youde and his guards were about to leave the city, the city gate suddenly opened, and then a large number of cavalry poured in from outside.
The fire in Tianxian Tower made Ningling City feel like daylight, and everything was seen clearly.
"Lord Wang, it's not good, it seems to be an enemy army!" A sharp-eyed guard caught a glimpse of Liu Xia and the others who had just entered the city.
"What! So the soldiers outside and it's all over! Kong Youde lost his voice in shock.
"Not good! Hurry up and leave, they're coming! ”
On the other side, after Liu Xia finished dealing with the 4,000 Qing troops outside, he left the lion battalion to clean up the battlefield, and then took the tiger camp and the wolf roaring camp into the city to find Kong Youde.
More than 4,000 Qing troops outside lost more than 1,000 in battle, and the remaining 3,000 surrendered one after another.
Looking at the fire in Tianxian Tower, Liu Xia asked, "What's going on?" Didn't Kong Youde come to Tianxian Tower to eat and drink? How did Tianxian Tower catch fire! ”
"General, general, look, that's Kong Youde!"
Liu Xia took advantage of the situation and saw that not far from the entrance of Tianxian Tower, a team of about 500 people was there, and Kong Youde's tall body was very eye-catching.
"Kill! Kill the past!! ”
"Dada-da-da!"
Kong Youde was helpless, and then fled from the other side with a hundred guards and those generals, and the remaining four hundred guards were on the road to block Liu Xia's cavalry.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
"Surrender without killing !!"
"I'd rather die than give in! Buy time for the prince! Kill!!! ”
"Click"
The two armies fought, and the soldiers on both sides were brave and fearless, killing and abusing each other.
Kong Youde's personal soldiers are the elite of the elite, not comparable to those Qing troops outside the city, and the wolf howling battalion and the tiger battalion began to have casualties. However, Kong Youde's personal guards also suffered many casualties.
Seeing Kong Youde and the others disappear into the darkness, Liu Xia was furious, and he felt that his anger was bigger than the fire in the Heavenly Immortal Tower.
Angrily shouted: "Kill! Kill General Ben! ”
The fire in Tianxian Tower was burning, and the two armies next to it were fighting each other, blood flowing, and Wang Badan and other squires were also killed by mistake in the battle between the two armies.
…………
The next day, Liu Xia woke up from the county government in Ningling City, and his whole body was sore from yesterday's battle.
Yesterday, Liu Xia sent someone to buy and strengthen the history of Ningling City, and then transported a large amount of wine for Kong Youde's soldiers to drink, and rushed into the city to catch Kong Youde after solving these soldiers according to the plan, but he didn't expect that there would be assassins from the White Lotus Sect in Tianxian Tower, and he actually burned Tianxian Tower directly.
Now Kong Youde doesn't know where to go, and it is estimated that he has already fled from Ningling City.
Liu Xia walked out of the house, and the commander of the fourth battalion outside was already waiting here.
Seeing Liu Xia come out, he said in unison: "General! ”
Liu Xia nodded and said, "How about the casualties last night?" Have you done everything to deal with the aftermath? ”
Liu Dazhuang said in a deep voice: "Back to the general, ten people were killed in the Tiger Camp and twenty people were seriously injured. ”
Then Zhang Yuan said: "General Hui, the wolf howling battalion killed fifteen people and seriously injured thirty-eight people. ”
Niu Wei, the battalion commander of the lion battalion, said in a condensed voice: "General Huiqi, when the lion battalion was killed, twenty-one people were killed and fifty people were seriously wounded. ”
Wang Shishi said: "Tell the general that none of the guards were killed in battle, and one was seriously injured. ”
Liu Xia pondered for a while and said, "What about the captives? ”
Liu Dazhuang said: "More than 3,200 enemy troops were captured, and now they are guarded by the lion battalion. ”
"The dead soldiers are buried and registered, the seriously injured one cannot be discarded, and all the soldiers are upgraded according to merit."
"The army has rested and returned to Defu!"
"No!"
Thirty miles northwest of Ningling City
Kong Youde and the remaining twenty generals and more than 100 guards rested at this time. Everyone was gray-faced, looking haggard and abnormal, their eyes were bloodshot, they were tired from the night's travel, and they didn't dare to stop on the road, lest Liu Xia send someone to chase after them.
"Lord Wang, what should we do now?"
"What to do? yes, what to do! Kong Youde looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Led 8,000 soldiers, with the expectations of the regent, set foot on the road to Guidefu. Now there are only more than 100 people left including me, and Bai Yitu still doesn't know where it is. ”
At this time, Kong Youde did not know that Bai Yitu had been captured.
"If the prince goes back like this, he will definitely be punished by the regent, and he will be imprisoned, or killed," said a man who looked like a general, a little timidly.
Kong Youde sighed: "What if you don't go back? My wife and my family are all in Beijing, even if we abandon them, where else can we go? ”
"Yes! In the eyes of others, we are traitors, and there are still people willing to take us in. ”
Kong Youde gritted his teeth and said: "This defeat is due to the carelessness of this king, it has nothing to do with you, this king will play the regent, and everything will be borne by this king independently." ”
Hearing Kong Youde say this, those generals breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then, Lord Wang, let's go back to the capital?"
Kong Youde nodded and said, "Yes, it will be in the capital immediately!" Tell the regent about the matter here immediately, so that the regent can make a decision early and make up for the merits. ”
"Gollum"
Everyone's stomachs rang uncontrollably, and they ran all night, and it was normal to be hungry at this time.
"Let's find a place to eat and then go!"
"Where is there food in this wilderness!"
"I saw a village just now, there should be food there, and we might be able to find a few beautiful girls in the past."
Kong Youde only frowned when he heard these words, and did not object.
"Go"
Both Beijing and Nanjing were always paying attention to the battle of Guide Mansion, and Liu Xia's victory was a great news for the Han people in Nanjing, and the defeat would undoubtedly add some obscurity to the Han people's hearts. For the Manchus in Beijing, Liu Xia had to be eradicated, so that the Han people's morale could plummet, and then they would conquer the world.
