Chapter 3: The East Gate (Nine Bottoms)

It's a pity that it was only Du Juan and Hao Laodao who gave him a smile. Zhang Jincheng, Yang Gongqing, Wang Dangren and other leaders were all in this team, and found that the "hero" rescued by everyone was actually Cheng Mingzhen, and the faces of the village owners immediately became strange.

"Kill him!" Yang Gongqing ordered loudly. With a horse's belly belt between his legs, he pounced directly on Cheng Mingzhen. Several of his cronies immediately raised their weapons and scattered to outflank them. They all saw the situation of Cheng Mingzhen's "fight in the nest" with the officers and soldiers just now, and everyone asked themselves whether it might be the opponent of the young man alone. But at this moment, there are many people, and if they cut down with a random knife, they can always divide his corpse.

This tactic of bullying more and less did not get a chance to be used. Almost at the same time as Yang Gongqing instigated the war horse, the cuckoo put the bow and arrow on the string. "Who dares to touch a cold hair of his hair? Don't blame the old lady for not opening her eyes! She was full of foul language, and her eyes were like a she-wolf guarding her den. The cold tip of the arrow firmly locked Yang Gongqing's throat and never left.

At such a close distance, Yang Dangjia didn't dare to bet on whether the words of the jade-faced Rakshasa were a threat. Stupidly took the mount, his eyes lit up with green fire, "He is holding your father's Mo knife in his hand." Your father must have been killed by this kid, you girl didn't avenge your father, but protected this little white face. Beware of thunder on a sunny day! ”

His words caused a commotion, and many of the minions on their horses immediately swept over with cold eyes. At this time, a few minions who were lying in a pool of blood and pretending to be dead, and then got up and moved closer to the team, heard Yang Gongqing's provocation, and immediately shouted for Cheng Mingzhen: "Du San's family went west first, and Cheng Ye fell behind to save us!" ”

"He'll save you?" Yang Gongqing glared at a few minions viciously, eager to peel the other party's skin and tear out his heart with his eyes. "He's the one who lied to us......"

"He fought hard with the officers and soldiers just now in order to protect us!" Although a few minions who pretended to be dead before were timid, they refused to lie according to Yang Gongqing's intentions. Cheng Mingzhen's appearance of holding a knife alone in front of the war horse just now left a deep impression on everyone, although he was finally pushed out of the pile by Uncle "Plop", but the kindness of sacrificing his life to protect each other was remembered by everyone.

Yang Gongqing couldn't find a reason for the attack, so he had to turn his head to Zhang Jin and said, "Big boss, don't forget who deceived us and delayed us in the city for so long!" ”

"The enemy didn't come out of the city!" The cuckoo was the first to remind.

Before Zhang Jincheng could make a ruling, another team of officers and soldiers shouted to kill. Du Juan and Hao Laodao immediately led people to rush forward and start a life-and-death struggle with the officers and soldiers. The pursuers were caught off guard and retreated crying. Hao Laodao and Du Juan didn't dare to chase and kill, and came back with the minions on horseback, and the group was behind the team.

At this time, it is definitely not worth the delay for Cheng Mingzhen alone. Zhang Jin said that he just glanced at the young man, and quickly turned the horse's head. The bandit leaders on horseback and the minions on foot quickly followed, and the team of more than 10,000 people moved westward in the dark. From time to time, a squad of officers and soldiers came close from the darkness of the night, compared the size of the two sides, and immediately got out of the way. There were also some blind officers and soldiers who tried to follow and kill, but Hao Laodao and a few hunters who were good at shooting were overturned with bows, and the rest of them ran away with a hula.

They walked around the city in the dark. From the beginning to the end, not a single crossbow arrow was fired from the walls. Without the backbone of Cheng Mingzhen, Zhongxiangyong became very weak. At what time of day, the lights of the night patrol were even extinguished on their own initiative, so as not to cause any unhappiness to the owner of Zhang Dazhai.

Wrapped in a daze by the bandits, Cheng Mingzhen left the city wall of Guantao County behind him in a daze. The county was completely safe, but he didn't feel any joy. In the battle in the middle of the night, he didn't know how many officers and soldiers died in his hands. If we talk about the casualties caused by a single person, I am afraid that Zhang Jin said that none of the bandits under his command have a record as great as him. Thinking of this, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, as if he had become a member of the bandits, and he was ashamed of the ancestors of the Cheng family. But if he hadn't wielded the knife desperately at that time, I'm afraid his head would have been on his neck long ago. In that way, he hoped that the people of Guantao County would stand up and cry out for him afterwards. The character of the county magistrate is like this, before going out of the city to negotiate peace, Cheng Mingzhen had already seen it thoroughly.

"I'll let you go when others aren't paying attention!" Seeing Cheng Mingzhen keep looking back, Du Juan sighed and promised in a low voice.

"Where are you going?" Cheng Mingzhen grinned bitterly. Once the officers and soldiers in the army recognize it, will they have a way to live? If you want to go back, you have to go back after the wind is cold, and before that, I'm afraid that the bandits' den is the only place for you.

"Whatever you want!" The cuckoo replied casually, and then was slightly stunned, and his eyes suddenly brightened. But soon, her eyes calmed down again. Although his body was already stained red with blood, Cheng Mingzhen in front of him was still out of place with the brothers around him. His back was always as straight as a pine, strong and lonely.

The two men looked at each other and said nothing more. Silently walked for more than half a mile, and the sound of rushing water blocked everyone's way. A few clever minions picked up the stone and threw it at the center of the river, "plopping", and the stone splashed a dull blister, and in an instant it sank without a trace.

The canal has only been built for a few years, and there is not much silt in the riverbed. If the brigade had chosen to swim across, many brothers would have drowned in the middle. If the pontoon bridge is rushed, I am afraid that before the pontoon bridge is built, the brigade of officers and soldiers has already chased after it. After a few escapes in the middle of the night, the minions have been worn out of the last bit of morale. If the 100th officers and soldiers rushed forward, they could wipe out more than 20,000 people on the bank of the canal.

"To the south, there is a very narrow section of the river near Liujiazhuang five miles away, and there is a bridge made of wooden planks and cables on it!" Before everyone vented their despair on themselves, Cheng Mingzhen suggested loudly. The last time Zhang Jincheng's team captured Binh, it was from there that he fled to the east bank of the canal. This time, he was going to go back the same way, with the revenge of the day behind him.

"Are you sure!" Zhang Jincheng quickly turned his head and stared at Cheng Mingzhen's eyes and asked.

"Sure!" Cheng Mingzhen hesitated for a moment and responded loudly. "But before crossing the river, the big boss must first organize the team. Otherwise, everyone will be squeezed, and it will definitely be finished together! ”

Zhang Jincheng's face suddenly cold, and he glared at Cheng Mingzhen angrily. The brethren were disorganized and disheveled, and he knew it. But isn't this embarrassment caused by the teenager in front of him? If he hadn't deceived himself with lies, how could hundreds of thousands of brothers be attacked by officials and soldiers?

"If there is an orderly crossing of the river, most people may be able to escape before the officials and soldiers chase after them!" Cheng Mingzhen tilted his head and did not meet Zhang Jincheng's gaze. Having seen too much blood, he didn't want more people to die in front of him, even if these people were heinous bandits.

Zhang Jincheng was shocked, glanced at Cheng Mingzhen fiercely, and then turned around and shouted loudly, "The leaders of each battalion go down and the whole team!" If there are those who disobey the order, they will immediately throw Lao Tzu into the river, so as not to die in the hands of officers and soldiers, and even a corpse in the capital will not be fished! ”

The leaders agreed, quickly dispersed into the fleeing team, and sorted out the army. Although Yang Gongqing and the brothers under Wang Dangren were reluctant, in order to survive, they had to be inserted into Zhang Jincheng's team. The whole army turned south along the mud along the canal, advancing in order of front and back.
