Chapter 355: Cheng Xing died
Yan Kui didn't know much about the situation on the side of the four brothers of the Cheng family, he had just come to Hongshi County, and he was preparing to find a suitable place, and then command his corporal to set up camp.
I had just found a decent place, and before I could give the order, I heard a report from the scout.
A group of rebels from the county town came out, looking at the direction of the Jin army.........
Hearing the words of the scout's report, Yan Kui's face flashed with surprise, he really didn't expect that when the 100,000 army entered, the rebels in the city would dare to send people over.
Yan Kui became interested and asked, "How many people are there from the rebels?" ”
The scout replied honestly: "There are about 1,000 people, and they are under the banner of General Xingguo, and the leader should be Cheng Xing, the third elder of the Cheng family." ”
When the four brothers of the Cheng family rebelled, they called themselves generals, and each of them had different general titles, and the third Cheng Xing was the word "Xingguo", and I don't know which country he Xing was, anyway, it was not the Northern Jin Dynasty.
Hearing that only 1,000 people came, Yan Kui was directly uninterested, he himself had an army of 100,000, how could he put a thousand rebels in his eyes.
In fact, he regretted it a little when he led his troops to Hongshi, with the strength of the four brothers of the Cheng family, it really wouldn't make him so excited, if he had known this, it would be better to split his troops with Fang Rui.
Take Hongshi all the way, take Gaoxian all the way, take down two small miscellaneous soldiers, and concentrate on dealing with Li Ji's big trouble.
However, the army has been drawn out, the logistics have been arranged, and it is inevitable that there will be some trouble in dividing the troops, and the matter has come to this point, it is better to concentrate on taking Hongshi in one fell swoop, and then take Gaoxian.
Just think that he used his troops cautiously and got off to a good start............
…………
Thinking of this, Yan Kui settled down, the city wall of this red stone county town is not high, but because it was built with a lot of red stones, the texture is relatively strong, and it can resist the bombardment of catapults.
If the Cheng family insists on holding on, and Yan Kui doesn't want to spend a lot of troops to storm it, it is estimated that it will take a little effort to take the county seat.
So, Yan Kui's original plan was to set up camp outside the city, surround the county seat, and then send troops to attack and harass day and night.
It doesn't take much time, it only takes five or six days, and the rebels in the city are estimated to be unable to hold on.
These people recruited by the Cheng family brothers were originally a rabble, with weak combat power and easy military morale, and when Yan Kui finally stimulated again, Hongshi immediately returned to the rule of the Northern Jin Dynasty.
Because of this, Yan Kui was not in a hurry at all after coming to Hongshi, and leisurely chose the camp, just waiting for the army to settle down, and then set up a stage to sing.
Unexpectedly, Yan Kui was not in a hurry to attack the city, but the Cheng family brothers couldn't wait to send it to the door.
Yan Kui didn't want to pay attention to it, but then he thought about it, he was idle anyway, so it was better to take down this rebel army, and by the way, he could also hit the morale of the rebels in the city, and the time for counterinsurgency might be shortened by then.
Thinking of this, Yan Kui finally raised his spirits, called Chen Xingxiao, secretly commanded a few words, and ordered five thousand Jin troops with Fang Rui to meet Cheng Xing's department.
…………
At this time, Cheng Xing had already led his troops not far in front of the Jin army, but looked at the 100,000 Jin troops in front of him.
Cheng Laosan turned his head again to look at the shrimp soldiers and crab generals behind him, and plucked up the courage in his heart a few times, but he didn't dare to lead the troops to rush into battle, and even began to retreat in his heart, if he didn't care about face, he really had the heart to order a retreat.
But he didn't dare to rush into battle, and he didn't give the order to rush into battle, and a thousand rebels stood there stupidly for a long time, not to mention how funny.
Fortunately, in the end, Yan Kui led the troops to appear, which was barely enough to give Cheng Xing room to play, he stepped forward, coughed a few times, and shouted loudly.
"I'm Hongshi Chengxing, where is Yan Kui, come and talk to me."
To tell the truth, if he was someone else, Yan Kuili didn't care, what identity did he have now, how could he talk to a small rebel leader.
It's different if Cheng Xing doesn't happen, Yan Kui saw that he could take a thousand people out of the city and face tens of thousands of troops without retreating, thinking that this person was a little bold, so he didn't express his disdain for Cheng Xing, but went out to respond.
"I'm Yan Kui, what do you have to say?"
I have to say that Cheng Xing is really bold, others with a thousand people to face 100,000 enemy troops, I am afraid that his legs are scared, and although he is also afraid, he has not lost his courage, and when he saw Yan Kui coming out, he dared to provoke loudly.
"I heard that you are a fierce general in the Northern Jin Dynasty, I Cheng Xing has never been invincible in Hongshi, I met you today, I want to ask for a few tricks, and see if you, a fierce general of the Northern Jin Dynasty, are worthy of the name."
Yan Kui was really amused by this Han Han in front of him, if it weren't for the Cheng family's heavy crime and death, he really had the heart to capture this guy and then take it under his command, but it's a pity that God made people.
Shaking his head, Yan Kui glanced at Cheng Xing regretfully: "It's rare to get into my eyes, I'll give you a ride today." ”
After that, he took out the broken star mace from the hook under the horse, kicked the horse's belly with both feet, and the red flame horse let out a long neigh, and its four hooves flew, like a red cloud, approaching Cheng Xing very quickly.
…………
"Good time!"
Seeing Yan Kui's move, Cheng Xing was not surprised, lifted the tiger's mouth knife in his hand, and rushed forward.
Zheng~
A piercing sound of gold and iron.
Yan Kui rode the red flame horse and rushed forward for more than a hundred steps, then stopped the horse's momentum and looked back at Cheng Xing with some surprise.
This person can actually block the stick of eighty percent of his strength!
However, now is not the time to cherish talents, Yan Kui, who has repeatedly set up battle formations, has no intention of showing mercy to his subordinates, and turned his horse's head and rushed towards Cheng Xing again.
At this time, Cheng Xing was no longer as high-spirited as Fang Cai, and his eyes when he looked at Yan Kui were full of fear.
One hit!
Only one blow made his whole body surging with qi and blood, his arms were sore and painful, and he could barely hold the big knife in his hand, Cheng Xing thought he was brave, but now he felt that he was facing Yan Kui and was unmistakable with a three-year-old child.
Cheng Xing's heart turned a thousand times, and Yan Kui's side had already rushed over again.
There were no bells and whistles, just a heavy smash, and the howling wind woke up Cheng Xing, he gritted his teeth, raised the big knife with red eyes, desperately blocked the stick, and escaped from Yan Kui's hands dangerously and dangerously.
But the price paid was also very heavy, the tiger's mouth knife fell to the ground, Cheng Xing watched his muscles and bones broken, and his arms hung down softly in front of him, feeling the pain, and his heart was full of despair of waiting for death.
Sure enough, after a few breaths of effort, Yan Kui came back with a horse, and did not do it immediately, but glanced at Cheng Xing and sighed faintly.
"You can block my two moves without dying, and under my command, you can at least be a seven-grade general, it's a pity."
After that, without waiting for Cheng Xing to reply, Yan Kui waved the mace in his hand lightly, and the four tyrants of Chengmen were left from now on............
…………
After Cheng Xing's death, the 1,000 rebels he brought immediately dispersed as a flock, without Yan Kui's order, Fang Rui, who came with him, immediately led the troops to chase and kill, and Chen Xingxiao, who Yan Kui ordered just now, also brought 2,000 men and horses to kill from the side.
This is because Yan Kui was afraid that Cheng Xing would escape and he would not be able to catch up, so he sent Chen Xingxiao to quietly go around behind Cheng Xing, which is now just in handy.
Under the joint efforts of the two sides, but only half of the incense, the thousand rebels died or surrendered, and not a single one ran away.
After that, Yan Kui cut Cheng Xing's head, and sent someone to carry it around Hongshi County a few times with a long pole, not mentioning how the three brothers of the Cheng family were sad.
Seeing that the Jin army had made a good start, before attacking the city, they had broken thousands of men and horses, and the morale of the rebels in Red Rock City gradually became disordered, but fortunately, Cheng Fu found out early, killed a few leaders to make trouble, and finally barely suppressed the situation.
But as Yan Kui led the army to besiege the city the next day, attacking day and night, and after only two days, the undercurrent in Red Rock City began to surge unstoppable.........
