Chapter 53: A Fire in the Backyard (9)
The Jingshi is more than 1,800 miles away from Zhenbei Fort, and Liu Renyu hastened to Changping to join the large army since he got the news of the siege of the Liukou.
Then he left more than 20 people to take care of the wounded soldiers, as well as grain and grass, and then he took 100 soldiers, let everyone with two horses, and bring dry food that could last for ten days.
Such a wild gallop, people can not stand it or not, a number of horses are seriously fat, extremely tired, seeing the beloved horses are affected, many soldiers are a little heartbroken, but considering that Zhenbei Fort is besieged, the life and death of the family is uncertain, is that even if the distressed horses are tired, they have to speed up the horses and gallop all the way.
The reinforcements of Zhenbeibao crossed Shanxi, without any waves, and after crossing the Yellow River on ice and returning to Shaanxi, they encountered several bandits on the road.
As soon as these thieves ran into the soldiers of Zhenbei Fort, they thought they were coming to attack them, and they were about to turn around and run, but unexpectedly, the leading officer just shouted: "Get up, get out of the way, give way, give way, Lao Tzu has no time to take care of you." "It doesn't seem like there's any intention of going to war.
Generally speaking, those thieves walking on the road would make way of a passage as they were told, and just watched the officials and soldiers of Zhenbei Fort roar all the way.
If there were occasional homeless people who didn't know the situation and stood still on the road, the soldiers of Zhenbei Fort didn't say a word, cut them to the ground with a knife, and then drove away.
Every time such a scene is staged, it will be incomprehensible to the thieves.
Once, the leader of a group of thieves waited for the soldiers of Zhenbei Fort to run away, and asked the people next to him very inexplicably: "What are these officers and soldiers doing?" Why don't you kill us when you see us? ”
The person next to him couldn't understand it, so he spread his hands and said, "I don't know, why don't you send someone to catch up and ask?" ”
When the leader heard this, he was naturally furious and said, "Send a ball, do you think it's possible?" How about sending you on a donkey day? ”
The person next to him hurriedly replied with a smile: "The little one is just joking with you, that guy's officers and soldiers look extremely elite, and they will burn high incense if they don't trouble us, who cares why they don't kill us, don't you say?" ”
When the leader heard this, he nodded his head at first, and then thought about it for a while, but finally he couldn't get the point, and finally had to give up.
In this way, I hurried and hurried, and finally returned to Zhenbei Fort in only nine days.
Liu Renyu was still wondering if Zhenbei Fort was still in He Ergou's hands, or that it was still in his own hands, and when he saw that a large number of displaced troops were still outside the city, he was sure that at least the city had not been completely breached.
"He Ergou still has some ability, he has been guarding the city for so long, not bad, not bad." Liu Renyu now gave He Ergou a thumbs up in his heart, and then ordered to the left and right: "Most of the people in front of us are infantry, charge me, chase me, and kill me." ”
Li Jiye, Zhang Tieniu, Yang Desheng, and Ma Wenshan, who had been closely following Liu Renyu's side, all responded with a bang, and led their subordinates to hold the Yanling knife, shouting and drinking, and rushed towards the Wandering Army with full momentum.
On this side, Liu Renyu's Zhenbeibao reinforcements were about to rush over, and the Liumin army on the other side was in a mess.
Han Shilong took the King of Chaoshi, as well as a few of his own brothers, and hundreds of his subordinates, and hurried to the place where the horses were tied.
"General, you get on your horse first, let's run." Han Shilong first pushed the King of Chaoshi to the horse, and then he turned over on his horse, and then said to several brothers: "Let them kill those homeless people first, let's run first." ”
"Big brother, we still have robes in the city and haven't come out, are you waiting for ............" Han Shigong couldn't bear to leave his former robe, so he planned to wait for a while in order to meet the brothers who had not yet retreated from the city.
But halfway through his words, Han Shilong cut off his words and said, "Wait for a ball, don't you know how good Liu Renyu's soldiers and horses are?" Wait a little longer, and when that guy comes with someone to kill, let's go to the underworld and wait for your brothers." ”
"But," Han Shigong seemed to be unwilling, and wanted to say a few more words.
Han Shilong no longer paid attention to Han Shigong, who still wanted to make noise, he shouted "rack" to himself, pinched the horse's belly hard, and rode away.
The people who were riding horses around them all followed suit, urging the horses one after another, and followed Han Shilong and the Chaoshi Dynasty to the west.
Everyone is almost gone, and only Han Shigong is still hesitating.
Han Shigong first looked at Liu Renyu's cavalry that was getting closer and closer to the west, and then looked at the robes who were still desperately fleeing down the city, and he could only sigh deeply and say to himself: "Brothers, I don't live with you, you should each settle for your destiny." ”
With that, he turned his horse's head and galloped toward the east.
The king of the mixed world with horses and Han Shilong and a group of people can run away, and the large number of homeless people without horses can be miserable, they were killed by Liu Renyu's cavalry and cried their fathers and mothers, and they only hated to have two legs.
Those former Yansui officers and soldiers who had just come down from the city saw that Han Shilong and his group had already run away, and the horses they had ridden before were also nowhere to be seen, so they jumped to their feet and scolded angrily, and then after scolding, they were still like those homeless people who were cannon fodder before, and they fled in all directions.
However, it is said that the cavalry of Liu Renyu's department, except for those members of the special news investigation department, can barely be regarded as cavalry, the others are actually just mounted infantry, and these mounted infantry usually run away on horseback or something, there is still no problem, and riding a horse to kill people is really a little rusty in terms of methods.
For example, there was a horseback foot on a horse and saw a running homeless, originally intended to go down with a knife to see the bones, but unexpectedly the distance was not well mastered, he actually swung the knife in the air, did not cut people at all, he was embarrassed, and slowed down the horse, the second time to cut people, and the effect is not deep to see the bones, just to cut the clothes.
There was also a mounted infantryman who was originally imposing, he was dangling a big knife on the horse, neighing and shouting that he was going to kill the enemy, but the balance was not mastered, and he fell off the horse all of a sudden, and fell to the ground. ”
The soldiers around him couldn't stop laughing when they saw it.
It can be said that if this kind of horse team encounters regular cavalry, needless to say, it will definitely be repaired quite badly, but the soldiers of the Wandering People's Army are all infantry, and most of them are amateur infantry, except for a few dozen former Yansui official soldiers.
Therefore, even if it was a cavalry of the same level as Zhenbei Fort, it was effortless to kill the homeless, and soon the homeless army was killed for more than ten miles.
The exiled army outside the North Fort in Xiangzhen was killed and fled, and the situation in the city naturally reversed.
However, it was said that after the Zhengjun of the Zhenbeibao under He Ergou was driven off the city wall, there were more than 100 former Yansui officers and soldiers chasing and killing all the way.
He Ergou led his soldiers to fight and retreat, and there were constantly soldiers around him who were wounded or killed, lying on the ground, and those enemy soldiers who were chasing and killing said a few words of persuasion from time to time.
"The city is broken, where else can you retreat, if you surrender to us, we promise to spare you from death." A pursuer persuaded.
"If you resist stubbornly, and finally ask us to arrest you, we will not only kill you, but also your family." A pursuer threatened in a menacing tone.
No matter how many words the enemy said, He Ergou turned a deaf ear to these words of persuasion, and he didn't say a word, just gritted his teeth and persisted.
Everyone saw that He Ergou didn't say anything, and of course he didn't say much, everyone just had to fight.
After the two sides killed for a while, suddenly there was a burst of drum noise from the city, and the enemy offensive that was still chasing and killing He Ergou suddenly stagnated, and they all looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn't understand what was going on in the city.
After a while, I saw a soldier of the Wandering Army running over with an anxious face, and when he saw his robe from a distance, he shouted: "It's not a good thing, the reinforcements from the official army have arrived, and Boss Han told us to retreat quickly." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the messenger turned and ran away.
When the two groups of people who were fighting against each other heard the news, their reactions were naturally very different.
The group of pursuers who were still chasing and killing the soldiers of the North Fort in the town of He Ergou's department just now immediately made a mess, turned around and ran.
However, the morale of the defenders of Zhenbei Fort was soaring, and He Ergou was very happy and ordered his subordinates: "Lord Liu is back, we will win, sons, kill the enemy with your forehead." ”
Everyone naturally agreed, and they all followed He Ergou to chase and kill the enemy.
Originally, logically speaking, the soldiers of Zhenbei Fort were extremely tired after several days of fighting, but as soon as they heard the news of Liu Renyu's return, their waists suddenly stopped aching, their legs didn't hurt anymore, and those knives that couldn't swing a few minutes ago suddenly became lighter, and they were dancing with tigers and tigers.
In this way, because of the arrival of Liu Renyu, the soldiers of Zhenbeibao, who rekindled their fighting spirit and regained their combat effectiveness, under the leadership of He Ergou, only killed those former Yansui officers and soldiers who cried and shouted for their mothers, and howled miserably.
When the group of former Yansui officers and soldiers finally retreated to the city, they found that there were still many homeless young people huddled there, competing for the dozen or so ladders.
They looked at He Ergou and the others who were following closely behind them, and in a hurry, they used the handle of the knife and the blade of the knife to hit the homeless young man in front of them, trying to get them out of the way.
"Get up, get up, you donkey day homeless people fucking get out of the way, let us go down first." This group of former Yansui officers and soldiers shouted as they drove away.
"On the donkey's day, only you want to escape, don't we want to escape, will your life be more expensive? Aren't we human, why should we make way for you? A homeless young man shouted in a very dissatisfied tone.
This sentence immediately brought a chorus of response.
"You know what it means to come first and come later, when we go down first, it's not too late for you to go down."
"We have been rushing ahead of you when we attacked the city before, and now we are about to retreat, you should cover the back road and let us go first."
The homeless young men shouted in unison.
When a few former Yansui officers and soldiers heard that the homeless young people still dared to bargain, they were immediately furious, and they simply drew their knives in their hands, killed a few homeless people who were still breaking their mouths on the spot, and then killed several people in a row, intending to go directly to grab the ladder.
Seeing this, the other former Yansui officers and soldiers also followed suit, slashing and killing, and they all ran to the ladder to kill them.
How could those homeless young men who had long since exhausted their strength be the opponents of these former officers and soldiers, and soon these former officers and soldiers were approaching the ladder.
At this time, Qing Zhuang, the homeless person closest to the ladder, saw that Han Shilong's group was going to grab the ladder, and knew that if this group of people was asked to grab the ladder, they would definitely not be able to escape, so they were angry for a while, so they simply piled up the ladder without doing anything.
"You donkeys, we're going to kill you." Seeing that the back road was cut off, all the former Yansui officers and soldiers were furious, and they didn't care that He Ergou was still chasing and killing behind, intending to kill all the homeless people.
"I've been driven by you for the past few days, and I've long seen that you're not pleasing to the eye, anyway, I can't survive today, let's fight with you."
These homeless young people have been under the supervision of the Han family and a group of people to attack the city in the past few days, and they have not eaten less whips, and they are already a little dissatisfied, but now there is no way to retreat anyway, so they simply take up a hand and kill a few people on the other side to relieve their anger.
So when He Ergou's troops killed the slow-running enemy and came to the city, they saw a very strange scene, only to see the enemy army killed from within themselves, but they left their former enemies aside and ignored them.
"My lord, this, what kind of road is this!?" Yang Xianfeng asked puzzled.
"I don't know, let's just watch first and see what they want to do!" He Ergou also replied with a puzzled face.
So everyone stood aside and watched the internal fighting of the Wandering People's Army.
