Chapter 440: Chen's Mansion

The copper rod and the *** spilled a curtain of blood in the city gate hole. Qilin has never seen Nie Xiaoju so domineering and awe-inspiring, in his previous impression, this five big and three thick man always sat quietly on the side and embroidered, and most of them embroidered patterns like mandarin ducks swinging in the lotus pond. But today, this man finally killed like a man, heartily.

"Thirty-Nine"

Nie Xiaoju cut off half of the shoulder of the rebel soldier in front of him with a knife, and kicked the corpse out with one kick. Then he reported the number to the Kirin provocatively, which made the Kirin very unhappy.

The unicorn smashed through the skull of a rebel soldier with a stick, and poked a bloody hole in the chest of the rebel behind him with another stick: "Forty! ”

Nie Xiaoju laughed, and the *** windmill in his hand danced like a general, where could anyone get closer. Two people compared to killing, and a series of numbers came out of their mouths. Don't talk about the enemy, even the left avant-garde soldiers around them were dumbfounded.

The generals of the rebels were already red-eyed, and hundreds of people rushed forward in turn, losing more than a hundred, but they could not move forward. The two tower-like men stood still, not taking half a step back despite the wave of rebel soldiers.

"Press it, press it all on me!"

He roared with his horizontal sword, and if he hadn't been afraid of death, he would have rushed up by himself.

Now, he doesn't know where this comes from, such a group of fierce and vicious people, relying on a hundred and ten people to fight to the death and not retreat, do you think that this will be able to end the county seat of Qiu'an County? The rebels swelled so fast that many of their leaders, led by hundreds or even thousands, did not understand the art of war. This so-called general is a personal entourage of Pei Guo, the original county guard of Luojun, and has never worn a uniform.

After Pei Guo demoted Li Yuanshan, he was named a county marquis and opened a mansion, although he was still in charge of only a county, but his official position was already much higher. One person attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascended to heaven. This little guy named Pei Liu'er begged Pei Guo to come out to be an official, and Pei Guo's subordinates also recruited a rebel team of more than 10,000 people, so he rewarded Pei Liu'er with a general and asked him to lead soldiers to protect the old lady of the Chen family in Qiu'an County.

Such a person leads the troops, where does he know what tactics of war.

On weekdays in Qiu'an County, relying on the power of the Chen family and Pei Guo's backstage, Pei Liu'er is used to being powerful and blessed within a radius of 100 miles, and the commander of the army has enjoyed all the blessings that he has not enjoyed in the past 20 years.

Let him strip women's clothes, let him command the army to fight is purely a layman. Seeing the team of one hundred and ten people blocking the city gate, he didn't think of what it meant. Even if it was a veteran of Li Yuanshan's right guard who was the general, he would realize that something was wrong.

Pei Liu'er was angry that so many people under his command couldn't beat a hundred or ten, so he kept urging his subordinates to rush forward. But those rebels have not undergone much training, and they see that the two towers are like murder. Most of the people didn't rush forward, and the anxious Pei Liuer scolded.

At this moment, a muffled thunder came from the ground. The rebels on the city wall let out an exclamation. Pei Liu'er didn't hear what was shouting on the city wall at first, and he didn't hear it clearly until the unknown people in the door suddenly went to the top of the city gate, and the rebels on the city wall shouted that the cavalry was coming!

Cavalry?

Pei Liu'er was stunned for a moment, and her first reaction was that Meng Yuan was here?

The Mengyuan people also had a large number of men and horses in the northwest, plundering from time to time and sending the looted goods back to the grassland. In Pei Liu'er's cognition, the cavalry in the northwest, except for the cavalry under the king of Dingxi, is only Mengyuan. So his face immediately turned pale with fright, and even the hand holding the knife began to tremble.

Wherever the Mengyuan people went in the northwest, it was like a natural disaster. These barbarians in the Western Regions have no humanity at all, they want money, food, and women, and whoever stops them will kill them. The wind-like Mengyuan wolf rider didn't know how many villages and towns he had slaughtered and how much property he had robbed.

"General!"

His own soldiers shouted, "What to do? ”

It took Pei Liu'er to come to his senses after shouting twice in a row, and replied in horror: "Where the hell do I know what to do!" ”

The rebels on the city walls began to fire arrows, but there was no one to direct them, and the sparse feathered arrows could not make any blows at all, and the speed of the cavalry was too fast, and it did not take six or seven breaths from entering the range to rushing to the city. There were only three arrows in battle, but for most of the rebels, they could shoot two arrows.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground behind them, Qilin and Nie Xiaoju glanced at each other and shouted at the same time. The two people rushed forward first, and the elite of the left front guard behind them knew that the reinforcements had arrived, and they were all excited like wolves and tigers. The rebel soldiers, who were already a little frightened, were forced to retreat again and again, and some people subconsciously threw away their weapons and wanted to flee.

If it was really Mengyuan people, those guys who killed people without blinking would kill whoever they saw with weapons in their hands.

Nie Xiaoju and Qilin pushed the rebels out, and the cavalry of the Shanzi battalion behind also rushed in. The long lance poked out, and the rebel column that stood in front was immediately torn open. They thought that the Mengyuan people had killed them, but when they saw the black leather armor on the cavalry, the only remaining courage was immediately frightened.

"It's the imperial court!"

I don't know who shouted first, dropped the weapon in his hand and turned around and ran.

In their opinion, as long as they don't resist, the Mengyuan people may not be killed. But when the imperial court officials and soldiers came, how could they, the rebels, be spared?

Pei Liu'er was completely stunned.

He felt like his heart wouldn't beat anymore.

A tidal wave of cavalry poured in from outside the city, poking the rebel soldiers to the ground one by one with their horses. But whoever stands in front of the horse's hoof, whether he resists or not, will be killed. Since Pei Liuer became this general, he has always led his soldiers to bully the people, where have he seen such a murderous scene. When he saw the cavalry galloping forward on the corpses of his men, he didn't realize that there was something cold in his pants.

Urine trickled down his trousers, with a pee-sass-smell.

Before he could react, Qilin strode over and grabbed his front placket, lifted him into the air with one arm and then fell down hard, poof, Pei Liu'er's face immediately bloomed, and the blood in his nose spurted out, mixed with the blood overflowing from his mouth. There was a thunderous buzz in his head, and he subconsciously rubbed his eyes and struggled to sit up, but before he could open his eyes, he saw a big foot fall down fiercely and was stepping on his chest.

There was a click, and I didn't know how many ribs I had crushed with this kick.

……

……

By the time Fang Xie entered Qiu'an County, most of the rebels had already surrendered. The cavalry swept every street, and anyone who dared to carry a weapon in his hand was killed. The rebels who were huddled on the city wall were still lucky that they did not become corpses under the hooves of the cavalry, and they only understood what despair was after the infantry of the Yangzi battalion entered the city.

At this time, not surrendering is death.

Fang Xie had the rebel prisoners gathered up and placed on the main street of the county seat. There were still more than 1,000 remaining rebels kneeling on the ground with their heads in their hands, not daring to look at the murderous officers and soldiers. They had no way out, and they never thought that the officers and soldiers would appear in Qiu'an County like divine soldiers descending from heaven.

You must know that Qiu'an is the hinterland of Shandong Province, and it is not less than 2,000 miles away from Hexi Road, which is being attacked by the imperial army. According to reason, it is impossible for the people of the imperial court to appear here.

Until now, they have found it incredible.

How did this official army break through the defense line of King Dingxi's million-strong army?

"General!"

Chen Yishan wiped the sweat on his forehead and explained: "The county government has been taken, including the county order, all the county officials have been arrested. I had people guard the county treasury, but there wasn't much in it. ”

The soldiers behind him carried a middle-aged man who was trembling with fright and threw him on the ground: "This person is the county magistrate of Qiu'an County!" ”

The county commander knelt on the ground, and he didn't dare to look at who was standing in front of him, just kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"The general spares his life, the general spares his life, I am also forced to become a thief, I am really a submissive citizen of the Great Sui, and I dare not have the heart of rebellion. If it weren't for the eight-year-old mother and eight-year-old child at home, I wouldn't have surrendered to the thief even if I died! ”

"There are more than 2,000 rebels in the city, where is the food and grass?"

Fang asked.

"It's all in the Chen family compound!"

Qiu'an County ordered to kowtow like pounding garlic: "The food and grass supplies for these rebels are all from the Chen family, and the county government is completely empty, where can I raise soldiers." The general also asked me to be clear, I am willing to give all my family property, and I also ask the general to spare his life. ”

"The Chen family's compound."

Fang Xie repeated, turned around and asked, "Why hasn't it been broken yet?" ”

At this moment, Lu Fenghou ran back out of breath: "General, I really didn't expect that the Chen family's mansion would be so difficult to gnaw!" The courtyard wall is higher than the city wall of Qiu'an County, and it is extremely strong, and it is a white mark when it hits the wood. There are at least hundreds of private soldiers of the Chen family on the courtyard wall, and they are much stronger than these rebels in terms of equipment and combat power. All they held in their hands were hard bows, and the feather arrows were pouring out as if they couldn't finish shooting, and our men lost a hundred and ten, and they couldn't get close! ”

Fang Xie frowned slightly when he heard this, and walked forward: "Lead the way!" ”

Lu Fenghou took Fang Xie to the outside of the Chen family's mansion, pointed to the other party's explanation, and said, "General, look, where is this private house, it is clearly a fortress." The courtyard wall is high and thick, and the arrow tower and horse face are also built. Outside the courtyard gate is a deep trench dug out, and after the courtyard gate is hoisted, you can't enter it at all. The ditch was too deep and wide for anyone to jump over. Even if you jump over, the foothold under the courtyard wall is too narrow, and it is simply a live target for those private soldiers to shoot. ”

"I led someone to find a ladder and rushed over, but I didn't climb the courtyard wall twice."

Lu Fenghou said with annoyance: "This person from the Chen family seems to be shrunk in a big turtle shell!" ”

Fang Xie took a closer look and found that this Chen family compound was indeed a fortress. The courtyard wall is at least two zhang, and the private soldiers on it are extremely well equipped, basically no different from the soldiers of the Great Sui, looking at the armor, it is actually thicker than the leather armor of the soldiers. It seems that the Chen family has invested a lot of money in order to protect themselves, and the silver spent on repairing the courtyard wall alone is enough to make people staggered.

"General, you see"

Lu Fenghou stretched out his hand and pointed: "The man in iron armor standing on the wall of the courtyard has excellent archery skills, almost none of the arrows missed, and many of our soldiers were folded in the hands of this person." ”

Following Lu Fenghou's guidance, Fang Xie found that the man wearing iron armor on the courtyard wall should not be very old. With a white face and beard, he stood there with a hard bow, quite imposing.

"Who is this person?"

Fang Xie asked, pointing at the man.

Qiu'an County Commander hurriedly said: "This person's name is Chen Dingnan, the word Dongyu, and he is the eldest grandson of the Chen family. was supposed to go to the capital to perform martial arts, but the old lady of the Chen family was too bad the year before last, and he couldn't keep his filial piety. Although this person is only seventeen years old, he is outstanding in martial arts and skilled in bows and horses, and the Chen family regards him as the hope of the family's prosperity. ”

"Dingnan?"

Fang Xie was stunned, and suddenly remembered something.
