Chapter Ninety-Two: Painting a Scoop with a Gourd
"Guan Feng, tell the brothers, no one is allowed to beat the boss, his name is Cao Wenzhao, he is the uncle of Cao Bianjiao, I want to capture him alive!" Mo Li shouted to Guan Feng beside him.
"My lord, now that people are attacking, we are defending, are you sure you can capture people alive?" Guan Feng said with a smile.
"......" Mo Liden was angry, kicked him and scolded: "You ball! If you are told to go, you will go, what are you grinding? Wait a minute, if Cao Wenzhao is missing, Lao Tzu will cut it to death, do you believe it! ”
"Huh? Be! I'll go right away! Guan Feng was stunned, knowing that the adult was not joking, so he hurriedly ran to pass the order.
It's really strange to think about it, when the two armies are fighting, the commander of one side does not care about anything else, but cares about the safety of the other coach, for fear that the other side will make a mistake, which is unique in the history of world warfare.
The commander of the opposing side could not shoot him, but his soldiers had no scruples, and the soldiers of the Renaissance Army used their weapons to greet the nearest officers and soldiers, bows, arquebuses, flintlock pistols, grenades, etc.
The battle continued to show a stalemate situation, the officers and troops continued to frantically attack the city, the defenders still gritted their teeth and defended to the death, both sides suffered casualties, bullets and arrows flew indiscriminately, and the sound of guns and cannons and shouts of killing was incessant for a long time.
Cao Bianjiao did not participate in the battle to defend the city, and Mo Li sent him to lead the cavalry to patrol the streets of the city, responsible for maintaining order in the city, so as not to be caused by some lawbreakers.
In fact, the main reason is because the other party's coach is Cao Wenzhao, and he can't let their uncle and nephew meet on the battlefield, otherwise it may not have any impact.
Cao Bianjiao himself was born in the official army, although he surrendered and joined the revival army, he did not advocate fighting with the official army, so Mo Li arranged for him to be in charge of the security of the city, and he felt a little relieved, at least out of sight and out of mind.
Cao Bianjiao led a team of his subordinates to patrol the streets, and dozens of people rode horses and walked slowly on the streets.
At this time, there were basically no people on the streets, the officers and soldiers were attacking the city, and almost all the young and strong were sent to transport city defense materials or rescue the wounded soldiers, and most of the other people also hid in their own small courtyards and no one came out, so as not to suffer unwarranted disasters.
A general named Jiang Dacheng under Cao Bianjiao saw that there was no one around, and whispered to Cao Bianjiao: "Lord Cao, I heard that the commander of the official army who came to attack the city this time is your uncle. ”
"Hmm!"
Jiang Dacheng continued: "Lord Cao, we were originally an official army, although we had brought down this gang of thieves before, but it was also a last resort. Now that General Cao is leading his army to attack the city, why don't we ......"
"Shut up, don't talk nonsense!" Cao Bianjiao glared at Jiang Dacheng, and his eyes quickly looked around.
"My lord, are you willing to stoop to a gang of bandits like this? Now that we finally have the opportunity, we can't afford to miss it! "Jiang Dawei has been following Cao Wenzhao for more than three years, and he is also a junior officer in the Guanning Iron Cavalry.
"Yes, my lord, let's rush out now, open the city gate, and welcome General Cao's army in, this is a meritorious atonement! I believe that General Cao will definitely intercede with the imperial court and no longer pursue our crime of surrendering to the bandits. Another officer under Cao Bianjiao's former subordinates, Lian Yiqiu, also persuaded.
Cao Bianjiao glanced at them, his face was expressionless, and said lightly: "You all think like this? ”
Jiang Dacheng and Lian Yiqiu both nodded.
Cao Bianjiao's face suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "Remember, first, they are not bandits, they are the Chinese Revival Army with ideals, this army is the army that really fights for the common people of the world, and it is also the army that is about to fight a decisive battle with the Tartars."
Second, it's not just them, it's us! We are brothers in the same trenches, and we are the same Chinese revival army fighting to drive out the Tartars!
Third, what you have just said must not be said again, or even thought about in the future! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless! Now that we have joined the Renaissance Army, we have to think about the development and future of the Renaissance Army.
These days, you have all seen that the Renaissance Army is really thinking about the well-being of the people of the world, and what they have done for the people, which army in the world can do? ”
Jiang Dacheng and Lian Yiqiu were silent and nodded silently.
"Well, let's treat it as if it never happened, and no one is allowed to mention it again! Keep patrolling! Cao Bianjiao said again.
Everyone should say yes in unison.
The group walked to a relatively prosperous street in the south of the city, and it was rare to see a few people on the usually busy and lively street, except for the people who were busy transporting supplies.
Suddenly, a puff of smoke rose from several shops on the side of the street, and then a fire rose.
Cao Bianjiao secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly ordered to rush towards the place where the fire started.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "The officers and soldiers have come in!" The officers and soldiers are in! ”
Cao Bianjiao immediately saw five or six men with torches in their hands, coming out of those shops, and shouting while continuing to light the fire, intending to create chaos.
Cao Bianjiao shouted: "Arson traitor! Where to go! ”
The soldiers under Cao Bianjiao hurriedly pounced and captured the arsonists.
Those few people didn't expect that the soldiers of the Renaissance Army would arrive so soon, so they panicked and fled. But how to escape, it didn't take long for him to be arrested by Cao Bianjiao's men.
Cao Bianjiao ordered them to be taken back to the county government and locked up, and then organized people to put out the fire.
The soldiers were escorting the men and were about to leave, when suddenly one of them, a thin middle-aged man, shouted, "Lord Cao! Lord Cao! ”
Cao Bianjiao looked at him suspiciously, and the man shouted: "Lord Cao, I am Deng Hai, a subordinate of Lord Han, last time I followed Lord Cao to conquer Heiyun Village, the villain is still your pawn, does Lord Cao still remember the villain?" ”
"Han Chong's men?" Cao Bianjiao nodded slightly, "What about you Lord Han?" ”
"Back to Lord Cao, Lord Han is now organizing a counterattack on Lingchuan City, he asked the villain to tell Lord Cao, saying that your uncle General Cao is here, and he hopes that you can cooperate with the outside to capture Lingchuan City in one fell swoop, and sweep away this gang of bandits, and the court will not be to blame for the past." Deng Hai looked around and said in a low voice.
Since Deng Hai and several others escaped from Lingchuan City and settled in Lin County, they were sent back by Han Chong to lurk in Lingchuan City, inquire about the news, monitor the movements of the Revival Army, and wait for opportunities to cause sabotage, preparing to cooperate with the outside when the imperial army comes to conquer and suppress.
This time, Deng Hai and the others saw that the offensive outside the city was very fierce, and they knew that it was the official army that came to attack the city, so they thought that when the revival army attacked the city last time, they should set fire to the city from the inside to create chaos.
Cao Bianjiao smiled faintly: "Is my uncle really saying that?" ”
