Text Chapter 209 Loss of Friends

Before, in Liu Qi's camp, Liu Qi walked around anxiously in the tent, according to Yanqilou's arrangement, he brought Qin Zhanshan tonight, and wanted to pull him down to the Yuan Court together, but although this Qin Zhanshan has always had a good relationship with him, he is greedy for money and lustful, and he is also good at taking advantage of others, but Liu Qi's persuasion turned out to be ineffective. had no choice but to tie it up and stuff it into the tent, and as for the few Qin Zhanshan's personal guards who followed, they simply took advantage of their unpreparedness and killed them all. The corpses were temporarily piled up in a corner of the guard's tent, and they did not dare to drag them out for fear of being discovered.

"Liu Qi, you are a murderer, Lao Tzu is blind and recognizes you as a friend, you actually descended to the Tartars, you can't die well! Lao Tzu will not let you go if he becomes a ghost! After Qin Zhanshan was tied up, he scolded, in order not to attract the attention of the army, Liu Qi was so annoyed that he directly ordered his mouth to be blocked.

This Qin Zhanshan is just an old lady who died in the hands of the Yuan Court, so ignorant, if he is from himself, the future of the splendid future will be immeasurable, and then Bo will give a decree to the ancestors! Why bother?

Liu Qi has been a scoundrel since he was a child, stealing and robbing the road, I don't know how much he has done, every time an incident happens, he runs away to avoid other places, leaving his parents to be detained by Lizheng and the government many times. Because of repeated persuasions, his parents and brothers have long been strangers to him, and after he fell into the grass, his family was also implicated in it, and there was no contact between the two. Later, whether the family was alive or dead, Liu Qi no longer cared,

Now, although the henchmen in the army have joined Yidu with Liu Qi, most of the soldiers, especially the newly attached sergeants, are mostly trained after coming to Linqu, these people have more or less grudges with the Yuan court government and the wealthy gentry, and they were forced to vote for the Shuntian army. Therefore, Liu Qi has been sitting in the camp, hoping that there will be no accidents before the end of the war.

"My lord, everything has been arranged, and the first section of the Hedong official army has begun to march towards the south city gate. The official cavalry also arrived outside the camp of Wan and Xiahou. "Fat Tou Tuo with a shiny head into the account, although the night chill is a little refreshing, but Fat Tou Tuo's head still hangs a layer of fine beads of sweat. He was followed by the Yellow Skin.

"Have they arrived? Is it a masked person? What does Lord Yan command? Liu Qi jumped up to the fat head and asked continuously. He didn't have much expectation of the combat strength of the Han army in Hedong, but he had a lot of confidence in Tang Wuwei!

"Arrived, arrived, the little one saw a lot of men and horses with his own eyes, all of them were cavalry, and he couldn't see the edge at a glance! The leader of the army was the commander of Tang Wuwei. The fat head replied breathlessly, he did not dare to ride a horse this way, and the cat ran back with his waist on his waist, but he was not lightly tired.

"The black light is blind, you can see a fart!" Liu Qi kicked him angrily, and the fat head fell to the ground with a sigh, with a big black sole mark on his chest.

"How many people are there? Well? Liu Qihong asked again.

"Don't worry, my lord, this time it was Tang Wuwei's cavalry who crossed the river first, and I heard that the cavalry of Dizhou came with the Yidu army and the first marshal. A large group of horses arrived! Huangpi stepped forward and smiled. The Hedong Han army will solve the county seat and ten thousand thieves, Xiahou thieves, Tang Wuwei will solve the Qin thieves, the general only needs to sit here, ensure that your subordinates are not chaotic, before dawn, the overall situation must be decided! ”

"This riverside is the camp of me and the Qin thieves, and then to the north is the camp of the ten thousand thieves and the Xiahou thieves, if you attack the city all the way now, all the way to the camp, the camps in the east of the city and the north of the city are solved, how do you deal with the Jing'an army in the west of the city? What's more, there are still most of the Liu thieves in the south of the city, and the current court is still not enough! ”

"Now there are only two thousand in the camp of the little thief, and the cavalry has all been taken away by him, as long as the city succeeds first, these thief armies in the north and east of the city are completely defeated, what role can the few men and horses of the thief and Liu thief play? Now Liu Thief is only afraid that he has been captured by our army's sneak attack, without the thief leader, the Liu thief line in the south of the city will not be able to turn the sky, and before dawn, the army of Yidu will definitely arrive, which adds up to more than 10,000 officers and soldiers! Huang Pi said one by one.

"As for the thieves who come to help, this black light is blind, when they come, these ten thousand thieves, the Xiahou thieves have already been defeated by the official army, how dare the thieves and others fight in the field?"

When it is, except for well-trained troops, ordinary troops will not easily engage the enemy in the field. This is not because there is no courage to fight, but because of the conditions and training at that time. Without bright lights, it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and it is impossible to fight effectively, and once it is not handled well, it is very likely that their own units will fight each other, and if the opponent escapes, it will not be able to effectively pursue in the dark night, and it will be difficult to expand the results of the battle. Therefore, in ancient times, there were night raids, and most of them were attacks on camps or cities, or ambushes halfway, and there was generally no night battle in the field.

The camp of the Jing'an army is seven or eight miles away from the north of the city, and according to the calculation of waiting, it will take half an hour to arrive, and these times are enough for the Yuan army to attack the camp.

It is said that these detailed deployments should not be known by lowly goods such as Huangpi, but Yan Qilou considers that this task is complicated, if his subordinates do not know the meaning of his task, he is afraid that there will be an accident in the execution, and the Yidu official army can be described as a thunderous blow, and the Linqu thief has no possibility of turning the tables in his own fine game.

The day before yesterday, Yan Qilou had learned that because of his merit in infiltrating espionage, Yidu had been promoted to one thousand households under the Intelligence Division! If the thief is defeated this time, maybe there is hope for being promoted to a thousand households.

Liu Qi and the others waited anxiously in the disaster relief account, and finally suddenly there was a burst of killing sounds outside, this is the Yuan army began to shout and attack the camp!

Liu Qi had already ordered his henchmen to follow his subordinates and others to press around in the camp, and the soldiers of each unit were not allowed to act rashly, so there was no change in the camp for the time being. After listening to it for a while, a henchman hurried to the original.

"How is Lao Wan and Xiahou doing?" Liu Qi was not at ease.

"The little one saw that the officers and soldiers had rushed in, and there was a sound of killing in the camp, and the flames were soaring, it was estimated that the defeat was decided!" The henchman wiped his sweat and gasped.

He did see the Yuan army entering these two camps respectively, and saw the campfire being lit, and was worried that Liu Qi would have something to ask him, so he hurried back to report the news. As for the later developments, he did not know.

Liu Qijing thought about it, the four camps in the north and east of the city have the number of 6,000 military horses, and now they are either surrendered or defeated, and there is not much combat power, Liu Zhengfeng and Yu Zhilong's two divisions of men and horses are less than 4,000, as long as the Yuan army of all roads is carried out smoothly according to the plan and completely defeats most of the Shuntian army, even if the Jing'an military headquarters is unscathed, when it is dawn, it is powerless to return to the sky.

It only takes an hour to basically achieve a big victory!

If the Jing'an army and others come to support again, they are far away in the west of the city, and the troops will gather and hurry, and the time will be at least half an hour, and I am afraid that the daylilies will be bright after they arrive!

Liu Qi had to admire Yan Qilou's careful deployment in his heart, this hundred households of the Intelligence Department under the Xuanwei Division had planned so carefully, and he was also deeply jealous of the person who could come up with this strategy in Yidu Road, and he still wanted to compete with the Yuan Court, it was really ridiculous!

Fortunately, Lao Tzu was too wise, and made a choice early, that what is not standing under the dangerous wall is what it means, this is still Yidu Lu Yu Boyu personally said that night, he has not read poetry books, and he can't remember all the words, but he also knows that if he does the Yuan Court to manage the army in the future, he can't say that he needs a good military advisor or master book around him, so that he can also ask for advice from time to time.

"Lord Yan's clever calculation, the last general is so impressed that he throws himself to the ground, and now if he is useful everywhere, he can get Liu's orders!" Liu Qi sighed and said to Huang Pi.

"As long as the general keeps his headquarters unmoved, it will be a great achievement!" A person suddenly came in from outside the tent, and when he heard Liu Qi's request, he spoke.

When the yellow skin saw him, he hurriedly saluted. This person is the deputy hundred households under Yanqilou, and this time he came to monitor Liu Qi's people, so as not to regenerate changes at this critical moment.

"General Liu doesn't need to be anxious, all the plans have been launched, and Lord Yan has specially ordered a small one to bring two hundred sergeants to the tent to listen to the tune, and everything is in accordance with General Liu's orders."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be! Then Liu has thanked Lord Yan here. I have gathered most of the officers in front of the tent, strictly ordered the non-commissioned officers of all units to rest in the tents, and sent my henchmen to lead the patrol in the camp, and my troops will not leave the camp tonight! Liu Qidao, "As for the officers and soldiers, I thought it would be better to stay outside the camp for the time being, after all, most of the soldiers below did not know that our department had recruited An, and if they saw the officers and soldiers entering the camp, they were afraid of causing trouble." It's better to wait for the army to start before entering the camp! ”

The hundred households stared at Liu Qi for a while, and nodded slowly: "What the general said, just according to what the general said." ”

After all, Liu Qi's demotion to the yuan was not seen in the light, only his henchmen were involved, and most of the soldiers at the grassroots level did not know about it. Liu Qi was worried that if the Yuan army entered the camp and someone gathered to protest, it would not be beautiful.

Thousands of households of the Hedong Army who entered the city led a part of their own, and the main task was to enter the city to exterminate the hundreds of Shuntian troops in the city, and these people were mainly concentrated in the original Han military camp. There were about 400 people in the newspaper, and the thousand households commanded nearly 1,000 soldiers to completely surround their station. At this time, the alarmed Shuntian soldiers were led by the assembly of their own hundred households, and they were moving out one after another, and the two groups of men and horses met at the gate of the camp, and then met each other. However, the Yuan army was unprepared for the battle and relied on the large number of people, so they quickly attacked the gate, while the Shuntian army reluctantly resisted, using the courtyards and houses inside to retreat step by step.

Another Yuan army entered the city under the leadership of Xi Zuo and went straight to the south city gate. According to the plan, the Yuan army entering the city had three main objectives, to seize the north and south city gates, and to annihilate the Shuntian army in the military camp in the city. As for the capture of Liu Zhengfeng, the arrest of Xie Lin, and the detention of military dependents, etc., they were all carried out in advance in the city.

Hundreds of Yuan troops rushed to the vicinity of the south city gate, and there were only nearly 100 people defending this place, but unexpectedly, the streets facing the city were full of rejecting horses, and hundreds of people were already waiting for them! The first person is none other than Akio.

Mingxiong led two hundred-man teams into the city to assist in the defense according to Ji Xiancheng's order, and asked Liu Zhengfeng to explain that there might be changes, but Liu Zhengfeng thought that there were his own troops in the north and south outside the city, and there were soldiers patrolling along the river, so he just agreed that Mingxiong was stationed in the city, and ordered the officers guarding the city to be vigilant.

Seeing this, Mingxiong left a team of soldiers to stand by Liu's house as planned, and a team went to the county government to guard Xie Lin, and he moved to the south city gate, after all, the city gate here is the closest to the Jing'an army camp, if Ji Xiancheng and Qu Bo are reinforced, it is the fastest to enter from this gate. Therefore, strengthening the defense of the south city gate and raising the level of vigilance are what Mingxiong is most concerned about.

Speaking of tonight's incident, Yanqilou was extremely cautious in his preparations. In the city, the surname Wei is a wealthy family, the original family land is very wide, and there are naturally many tenants, because after Yu Zhilong entered the city to change the rent and clear the mu, the family property was greatly lost, but because he was a Han Chinese, he did not completely confiscate his family property, but Liu Qi and Qin Zhanshan asked for a lot of gold and silver from the family when they went around asking for it, and the surname Wei naturally hated the Shuntian army. Pan Gui had an old acquaintance with him, and after he entered the city, he contacted him, and the rich man provided convenience for him.

Hou Yidu had a plan to attack the city, and Yanqilou successively hid dozens of subordinates in his house, and two days ago, hundreds of people were crammed in. Because of the hidden secrets, Ming Shijie, Guo Fengrong and others did not find out. Tonight, one of these people sneaked to the north city gate, cooperated with the Hedong army outside the city to seize the city gate, and the other part directly killed Xie Lin and Yu Lan under the guidance of the fine work.

As for the attack on Liu's house, it was discovered by Ming Shijie, but under the intention of waterproofing, he easily attacked Liu's house.

When Mingxiong knew that there was a change, there was already a sound of killing in the city, and he immediately flew to Ji Xiancheng to ask for quick support, and he organized the defense of the north city gate on the spot.

Seeing that the Yuan army was strong and fearing that Xie Lin was in danger, Ming Xiong ordered Ming Shijie to lead some of his subordinates to the county government immediately to protect Xie Lin's safe retreat.

The south city gate is guarded by Liu Zhengfeng and thousands of henchmen, and he wanted to immediately send someone to Liu Zhengfeng's mansion to guard, but Mingxiong said: "Listen to the movement in the north of the city, I'm afraid that the north city gate has been lost, and my brother Tai has a great responsibility, so I just want to guard here, and I am willing to send a group of people to Liu Tianwang's mansion to guard, and I can protect Liu Tianwang!" "Send a hundred household leaders to hurry there.

Mingxiong has a good way of governing the army, the department is rigorous, the soldiers are powerful, the army knows it, seeing that Mingxiong is willing to help, the thousand households do not doubt him, there are only more than 100 soldiers around him, and he is indeed powerless, so he thanked him. Then he ordered his subordinates to ring the bell to warn, and then sent people to Qubo outside the city to ask for help.

These thousand households didn't know that after the team sent by Mingxiong came out of sight, they immediately slowed down.

After Ming Shijie got the order, he ordered one hand to go to the place where Huang Er was recuperating from his injuries to report the news, where there were Jing'an Army recuperating from the wounded, no less than 40 people, now most of the injured are basically healed, action and fighting are almost unhindered, a few days ago Ming Shijie quietly transported two large wooden boxes to the courtyard, which were full of swords.

The Yuan army Qianhu who attacked the south city gate saw that the defenders were prepared, and knew that they could not delay, so they gave an order, and a team of 100 people should kill the city gate first, but with the blocking of the rejection of the horse, it was difficult for the Yuan army to contact the defenders, so they had to move the rejection horse while holding a spear to poke each other through the rejection horse.

The other two Yuan armies simply detoured from both sides, thinking of bypassing from both sides and copying the defenders' rear path.

This is the main street, because the gates of the residents' houses are not allowed to open on the street, and the main street is flanked by the gates of the lane, and the courtyards are in the lane.

The Li Fang system is inherited in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Xing in the Han Dynasty, extremely prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, generally there is a cross street in the middle of the Fang, and the four sides of the Fang generally open a door, and close the Fang door at night.

The Yuan soldiers smashed through the door of the fang and poured into the streets of the fang district on both sides.

"Hurry up and rush up, there are few of them, the first one to climb the city wall will be rewarded with three taels of silver!" Thousands of households in the Yuan army loudly announced the reward, and encouraged their subordinates to move forward bravely. The thief army in front of him is only about 100 people, and his own men and horses are five or six times that of them, and now time is precious, so we can't delay here for too long, and take the city gate as soon as possible!

Mingxiong stood quietly in the rear, the movement of the Yuan army rushing in front was very fast, the officer's command was quite effective, seeing that the street was blocked, he immediately ordered to outflank from both flanks, Mingxiong wanted to take advantage of the relatively narrow characteristics of the street to delay the Yuan army's strategy was to be discounted.

Calculating the time, the personnel calling for help have been dispatched, and the alarm fireworks on the city gate tower have already been set off, if there is no accident, reinforcements must arrive soon.

Before the first wave of Yuan soldiers rushed to the rejection of horses in the street, dozens of archers suddenly stood up on the city wall, and with a shout of "Arrows!" Command, dozens of arrows fell on this group of Yuan troops, and more than a dozen people fell on the landing. Then there was a second wave, a third wave of arrows, and the Yuan army was killed and wounded in the streets, and no less than forty people rushed to the front of the rejection.

This is the archers of the Suncheon army who have been lying in ambush on the city walls. Wait for the enemy to approach before appearing and shooting.

The soldiers on both sides fought before and after the rejection of the horse, and at first they could only slash each other with knives and spears across the rejection of the horse, although each other's shouts and killing were not small, but the casualties were not large. The casualties of the Yuan army were mainly from the bows and arrows on the city.

The Yuan army on the street wanted to take the opportunity to try their best to remove the obstacles blocking the road, so they inevitably exposed the flaws in their bodies, even if there were companions trying to cover it, there were still some killed and wounded by the soldiers of the Shuntian army, the dead were on the ground, and the wounded had to retreat to the back bread on their own.
