Chapter 543: The Heavenly God Descends to Earth
The shouts outside are already very close, maybe someone will open the curtain and come in the next breath, Hong Zhao looked at a few pieces of dry food cakes next to him, broke a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and replied vaguely in a begging voice: "I know, I know, I'll go immediately." ”
The footsteps outside stopped, and he scolded and said, "Hurry up, the general will find out in a while, and you will suffer." ”
The footsteps faded away.
Shen Leng breathed a sigh of relief, changed into the clothes of the soldiers who asked for the establishment, and more than a dozen people came out of the tent, looked at each other, and then looked at Shen Leng.
Where did Shen Leng know where to change the guard, he simply led people out from the edge of the camp, and tried to pick up places with few people, but no one would take the initiative to pay attention to them, and after walking for a while, he saw a hole and went straight in.
Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, everyone's eyes widened.
Behind the entrance of the cave is a very large open space, the mountain has cracked a huge hole here, like a gourd, the upper mouth is small, and the lower part is densely packed with the people, there are many Qiuli soldiers patrolling back and forth, the children's cries are suppressed by the palms of the parents, obviously they are also afraid to the extreme.
A few Qiuli soldiers rushed into the crowd and pulled out a girl who looked quite beautiful, the girl kicked and beat desperately, how could she break free from the hands of a few wolf-like soldiers, and the people around looked at it indifferently and shrank back.
Only the girl's parents rushed up, but they were knocked to the ground with three punches and two kicks.
"Your Majesty has taken a fancy to your girl, and you will be relatives of the emperor in the future, what are you crying about."
The captain kicked the girl's father away, turned around and drew the knife, and the knife was on the girl's neck: "Your Majesty let you choose someone to come over, this is your blessing, if you are not worried that Your Majesty will not like your face that has been beaten, believe it or not, I will use a knife to cut on it a few times?" ”
The girl trembled with fear, and she did not dare to let go of her crying.
Shen Leng made a look, Hong Zhao and Shi Dang followed behind him, pretending to help separate those people, and after waiting for a while, seeing that the captain did not suspect, Shen Leng and the three of them quietly followed.
Tens of thousands of people became silent, except for the sobs of the girl's parents.
It's not big, but it's harsh.
Captain Naqiu Li led a few soldiers into another cave, Shen Leng motioned for Hong Zhao and Shi Dang to wait outside, he listened attentively at the entrance of the cave, and then turned around and followed.
Shen Leng was hiding in the corner, he was an excellent learner and knew how to force himself to learn, he could understand Qiu Li's words, at that time, he was fighting in Qiu Li, and he had to practice every day, but the accent was not something that could be changed in a while, and if he said a few words, he couldn't hear it.
After listening to it for a while, Shen Leng understood, he thought it was an opportunity to find Ruan Tengyuan's whereabouts, but where did he think that it was not the emperor who wanted to choose a woman to bring him over, but the captain himself, the captain should be very clear, even if he was in the name of Ruan Tengyuan, how could the family of the girl who was taken away dare to ask?
A few days ago, he suddenly had an evil idea and couldn't help but grab a girl and take it away, but no one noticed it, so he became bolder.
Shen Leng is not a chivalrous man.
Here's what he said to himself.
If he was a knight, he should have rushed to get the girl out.
He's a general.
But he still made a move, because the captain was in iron armor and had face armor on his iron helmet, and when he pulled it down, no one doubted it.
In this way, Shen Leng entered the cave for an iron helmet, anyway, he explained it to himself.
After a while, Shen Leng beckoned, Hong Zhao and Shi Dang immediately entered the cave, the girl was lying naked on the ground, obviously she had been knocked unconscious before, or she had just been pinched by the soldiers who wanted to stand because of resistance, Shen Leng and the three of them changed into the military uniforms of the guards, covered by iron armor, and their hearts were more steady.
Shen Leng was just about to leave, and when he turned around, he saw Hong Zhao stabbing the girl in the heart.
Shen Leng frowned slightly.
Hong Zhao walked back with his head down: "The general can't do it, I have to do it, General Hai has explained, no matter what, protect the general's safety, no matter what, this battle can't go wrong." ”
Shi Dang and Hong Zhao stuffed the corpse
Entering the corner of the cave and finding something to cover it, Shen Leng was silent for a while and nodded: "You did the right thing." ”
Yes, he's always a little soft-hearted.
If the girl tied her hands and feet and gaged her mouth and hid it, it would be fine, but her final outcome was death, which was just a manifestation of hypocrisy.
"If the general feels that he has done something wrong, he will be punished when he returns."
Hong Zhao wiped the blood stains on the knife: "The general's ability to choose a lowly post is the general's trust in the lowly position, and the lowly post cannot live up to this trust, nor can it live up to the trust of General Hai." ”
Shen Leng snorted, took off the kettle and took a sip, and there were people patrolling outside who knocked on the bangzi, it was all hour, the time was coming, and there was still a full hour before Haisha led the army to attack the city.
"How did General Haisha give you the order?"
Shen Leng suddenly asked.
Hong Zhao lowered his head: "Burn." ”
Shen Leng nodded: "Go burn it." ”
Hong Zhao's burning word is not the same as the burning prepared by Shen Leng before.
Shen Leng looked at Shi Dang: "When you left the barracks before, did the gunpowder have been placed in the haystack?" ”
"It's all set."
Shen Leng nodded: "You guys do yours." ”
Shi Dang looked at Shen Leng: "What about you, general?" ”
"I'm right here...... If you can't find me in a moment, you guys will go to the entrance of the barracks and look for me, and I'll be waiting for you there. ”
Shen Leng sat down against the wall and closed his eyes.
Hong Zhao and Shi Dang glanced at each other, and Hong Zhao turned around and went out: "Act as soon as possible, and come back as soon as possible to join the general." ”
After going out, he brought the scouts who had stayed outside before and started setting fires, but the plan was slightly different, Shen Leng's plan was to set the granary and barracks on fire, and Haisha obviously didn't plan to let Qiu Liren go so easily, he wanted to set the refugee camp on fire.
Shen Leng sat there, and soon heard a shout, and it didn't take long for the smell of something burning to waft out.
This is in the cave, and there are canyon cracks, there is a mountain wind through it, the fire is uncontrollable as soon as it burns, the forage is dry and flammable, and the fire on the side of the barracks quickly spreads, and it doesn't take long for the camp tent to be ignited.
Then there was chaos in the refugee camp, where the refugees slept was also laid with straw, and people came to put out a fire when there was a fire, and Hong Zhao and they shuttled through the crowd and set fire to more places.
The smoke suddenly filled the entire cave with the sound of coughing, and after about half an hour, the smoke in the cave was enough to smoke people to death.
Shen Leng got up, pulled down his mask, and strode towards the side of Chengguan, many soldiers ran over from the side of Chengguan to put out the fire, Shen Leng stopped a group of soldiers who wanted to stand up: "Give me back, this is the conspiracy of the Ning people, they attacked the granary barracks, they will definitely go to seize the Chengguan, everyone go back!" ”
Only shouting these few words of begging for a stand-up is in a hurry, who can tell it.
After a stick of incense, Shen Leng had already returned to Chengguan with at least a few hundred Qiuli soldiers who originally wanted to fight the fire, and he shouted loudly, telling all the soldiers not to mess up, return to their positions, and beware of the Ning army sneaking up on Chengguan.
Ruan Huanlin heard the shouts and ran down from the city gate, seeing the black smoke billowing in the cave, and his brain buzzed, as if he had been smashed by something.
At this moment, he saw a captain striding over: "General! The Ning people attacked the camp secretly, please order the general not to run around, the Ning army will definitely take the opportunity to attack the city pass, and their only chance is to cut the rope of the suspension bridge! ”
Ruan Huanlin immediately reacted: "What you said is reasonable, what is your name." ”
"Yingtai!"
Shen Leng immediately replied.
"You're doing a good job."
Ruan Huanlin praised him, then turned around and shouted: "Order everyone on the city wall not to move, my pro-army camp will come to me, block the entrance from the cave to this side, and kill all suspicious people who rush out of the cave immediately!" ”
Hundreds of elite soldiers quickly intercepted the road leading to this side of the cave, and the archers put the feather arrows on the bowstring, and after a while, a group of refugees couldn't stand the smoke in the cave and rushed out desperately
Dozens of refugees were shot out at once.
Under the protection of the forbidden army, Emperor Ruan Tengyuan also came out of the cave, and was almost shot back by the feather arrow, and when he arrived at the city pass, Ruan Tengyuan glanced at Ruan Huanlin: "Well done, the only chance for the Ning people to attack is to cut the rope of the drawbridge, there is a drainage waterfall on the side of the granary, the fire can't pass, even if the crack is not blocked, there will be a few people in the Ning army, as long as the drawbridge does not fall, no one can break through this city pass." ”
"Your Majesty, please take refuge in the city."
Ruan Tengyuan snorted, and saw a captain not far away waving and running towards the city gate: "Who is that?" ”
"It's Captain Yingtai, who is responsive and calm, and it can be of great use, that is, he just intercepted and brought back the soldiers who ran back to fight the fire, and ordered his subordinates not to move around indiscriminately and block the entrance."
"Well, let him come to see me in a moment."
Ruan Tengyuan said: "I can't imagine that I still have talents that I haven't discovered. ”
"Yingtai!"
Ruan Huanlin shouted over there.
"General, go and see the drawbridge."
The lieutenant turned and shouted, and went to the drawbridge with four or five soldiers.
Ruan Tengyuan said: "Divide a group of people to guard, anyone who approaches the suspension bridge will be killed." ”
"Yes."
Ruan Huanlin answered and ordered his subordinates to go to the drawbridge.
Shen Leng took a few soldiers to climb the city wall, and when he saw dozens of defenders surrounding the drawbridge, he rushed over and pointed back: "The Ning army is approaching!" ”
In an instant, all the defending soldiers looked back at the city pass, but where the darkness on the other side of the cliff could be seen clearly, the night in the mountains seemed to be darker than on the plains, and where the lights were not in sight, who could see through the night.
Taking advantage of everyone's attention outside, Shen Leng pulled out the scimitar and slashed it down, the rope was thick, this scimitar was not a great weapon, and the rope was elastic even if it was straight, this knife could not be cut, so Shen Leng became annoyed and began to miss his black line knife.
"What are you doing!"
A nearby captain roared.
Shen Leng's scimitar was thrown out, a knife poked into the captain's heart, and with a punch he smashed the soldier next to him, and instantly picked up the soldier's scimitar, and it was another knife that fell, and the knife fell accurately where it had just been cut, and the rope broke in response to the sound, and the drawbridge made a loud squeak.
Shen Leng slashed over the approaching Qiuli soldiers with two knives, the scimitar was not suitable, and he missed his black line knife for the second time, but he was strong enough, so he killed a bloody road, and after slashing seven or eight people in a row, he went to the other side of the suspension bridge, and slashed a few times towards the rope on the other side of the suspension bridge.
A feather arrow crossbow attacked, Shen Leng was hit by I don't know how many arrows, he didn't look back, he was slashed on the back, he waved his scimitar and swept to cut the neck of the begging person, in a blood mist, Shen Leng grabbed the rope with his left hand, and cut it down again with his right hand.
In his mind, he thought that the knife just now actually did not sweep off the head, and sure enough, this broken knife was far inferior to his own black line knife.
The third time I miss the black line knife.
Smack.
The rope was disconnected, and the huge, heavy drawbridge whizzed and smashed down.
Shen Leng, who was holding the rope in his left hand, was instantly pulled out by the huge force of the falling suspension bridge, turned over the city pass, and fell from the sky.
Rumble!
The suspension bridge landed.
Call!
A torch was lit on the cliff, and the fire was soaring to the sky, and the Ning army's armor was like a forest.
Shen Leng, who was almost full of feather arrows on his body, stepped on the drawbridge and fell, kicked forward at the moment when the drawbridge smashed on the cliff, turned over in the air, and landed steadily.
"Kill!"
The torrent-like Ning army rushed along the suspension bridge into the city pass.
Shen Leng stepped aside and leaned back, looking down, feeling like a hedgehog.
Mainly looked at the crotch.
It's okay.
The upper body is well protected and has two layers of soft armor.
He bent down and pulled out one of the crossbow arrows from his leg and threw it away, and was about to pull out a second one when Haisha jumped off his horse: "I'll help you." ”
"There's no hurry."
Shen Leng took off the red silk scarf from his arm and handed it to Haisha: "It's not broken, it's really easy to use." ”()
