Chapter 23: Aftershocks (7)

When the moon stars were scarce, Xia Hao and his team of 2,000 people groped their way to the gate of Cangzhou City. sent a small force to investigate, but found that the city gate was unguarded, and came back to report to Xia Hao.

"Hey! The city gate is unguarded, quickly attack it......" Xia Hao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly urged his subordinates to attack the city.

"Young master, don't ......"

Xia Hao looked back, his face was unhappy, it turned out to be Uncle Zhang again, Xia Hao said, "What?" Are you scared? ”

"Young master, the city gate is unguarded, I'm afraid there will ......be a fraud," Uncle Zhang expressed his worries.

"In the middle of the night, who will come to guard the city gate, if it were me, I will not guard it." Xia Hao returned.

Hearing this, Uncle Zhang broke out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart, "Your son-in-law must have slept with his concubine in his arms, but Bingding is not like that." But he couldn't refute it anymore, so he had to be silent, constantly hinting that he was careful and careful. Once you find something wrong, you will immediately run away.

"Big guy, rush in for me, and after you get in, let you rob it!" Xia Hao inspired the minions and launched the final mobilization, and the minions began to get excited and screamed. Uncle Zhang was shocked when he heard this, not because he was afraid that the minions would be discovered by the guards in the city, but because he was worried about Xia Hao's morale-boosting words.

It's easy to say that you are robbing in the city, but most of the shops in the city are shops of various families, and the two thousand people under your command can't tell right from wrong. In other words, no matter whether this siege succeeds or fails, the Xia family will be removed from Cangzhou!

The words spoken, the water spilled, Xia Hao's words had spread to everyone present, and Uncle Zhang didn't think that he could persuade him to come back. There was only one voice in his heart calling: Go, go, go early!

"Let's go!" Xia Hao shouted, looking at Cangzhou City in front of him as if it had been captured.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......" Two thousand private soldiers rushed towards the city gate. Only some of Uncle Zhang's cronies remained, and some of the smarter people were only willing to walk slowly, falling behind at the end of the line. Uncle Zhang is still struggling, whether to go or not, he wants to see the battle at the city gate.

Exceptionally smooth......

Cangzhou City has no moat, and all the minions rushed directly to the entrance of the city, slashing and chopping with axes. The city gate is made of thick wood, not very strong, and no one guards it, compared with other siege battles, the city gate of Cangzhou City can be regarded as an instant collapse.

The minions poured into Cangzhou City, Xia Hao was overjoyed, opened the small bottle in his hand, poured it into his mouth, and clicked a little with his fingers. Then Xia Hao rode a horse, knocked away his soldiers, and walked directly through Cangnan Street. And at the moment when the city gate collapsed, Uncle Zhang took advantage of the moonlight to see the appearance behind the door, turned around and left.

Why? There is only one gate!

There are generally three gates, and there are two at least. As we all know, the city gate is a short alley, with one front and one back, one inside and one outside, and two gates. Conditionally, there is also an iron gate in the middle. But now only one door is closed, and the back two are open, what does it mean?

It means that the people in the city don't want to defend the city at all, and leave this inner door unclosed, is it a treat? No! It's a posture of inviting you into the urn and closing the door and beating the dog!

Uncle Zhang is a veteran, and he still has relatively good military literacy, so he saw through this bureau at a glance, so he turned around and left. It is impossible for anyone who goes into the city to come out......

The rest of the people are different, they are digging in the soil, they have suffered natural disasters and man-made disasters before they go up to the mountains to become bandits, and most of them don't even know their private soldiers. With an unprotected Cangzhou City in front of you, where would you think about anything else?

Not to mention Xia Hao, one of the two goods, riding a big horse, crossed Cangnan Street without squinting, and the speed was unparalleled.

Most people entered Cangzhou City, although the moon was relatively bright, but after all, it was dark night, and the minions had never entered Cangzhou City, and they were unfamiliar with the place, and they were scurrying like headless flies for a while.

Soon they noticed that there was a lot of dry horse grass piled up in the streets, and just as they were puzzled, there was a "bang" and the inner gate of the city gate was closed, and the city was crowded with people.

"Ambush!" The minions still didn't understand, and a voice shouted. Before the minions could react, the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air came from their ears:

"Woo Woo ......"

Many people also appeared on the rooftops on both sides of the street, and as soon as they looked at their faces, they directly took bows and arrows. Hundreds of minions fell in response, and in the confusion, many horses and grass in the streets were overthrown, and the archers on the roofs turned their bows and arrows into fiery arrows, and in the blink of an eye, an entire street became a sea of fire.

The minions in the fire struggled and fled, and those who were burned by the fire rolled on the ground, and some began to fight back. However, the fire was bright, and the minions were like live targets in the wide streets, and before they could draw their swords, hundreds of people were shot by arrows and fell to the ground.

The horse grass dried and burned quickly, and after setting fire to the two hundred private soldiers, it also declined. As a result, more than 700 people lost their ability to fight, and the remaining private soldiers retreated to the city gate, where they were greeted by bows and arrows from the city gate.

Then, officers and soldiers from all directions rushed out together, and hand-to-hand combat began!

Outside the gate of the Assassin's Mansion, Xia Hao galloped one by one, just got off the horse, rubbed the caterpillar whose lower body was stimulated by the drug, and it was refreshing for a while, and almost didn't let Xia Hao "disarm" on the spot.

Xia Hao walked towards the gate, and three soldiers jumped out next to him, and he couldn't help but say, as soon as the stinky socks were stuffed and a set of sacks, Xia Hao was tied up, and it was sent to Xu Qing after a while.

In fact, Xu Qingquan knows the movements of the family's private soldiers, even if there is no reminder from Huang Shimei, the dark river will find out.

So Xu Qing deliberately set up camp thirty miles away from Lu Jing's ambush site, cooked two meals at night, ate one, and the whole camp slept and rested, and one meal was warm. Get up in the middle of the night, eat again, and rush back to Cangzhou City in the starry night, waiting for Xia Hao's army.

Shake a shot, and then turn an ambush into an ambush, turning a disadvantage into an advantage. The horse grass that was put away early was also prepared for this. Everything had been arranged during Xu Qing's "hibernation" a few days ago, and it can be said that one day after the families joined forces to sabotage, it had already fallen into the big pocket arranged by Xu Qing.

What the prey sees is often what the planner wants him to see.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Xia Hao fainted from the smell of the socks, and woke up again, writhing in the sack like a frightened centipede. Of course, it is also possible that Xia Hao couldn't stand the stimulation of the drug and writhed......

Untying the sack, Xia Hao's blood-red eyes were revealed, and when he saw Xu Qing in a scarlet dress and crown, he immediately said angrily: "Xu Qing, let me go quickly, and then send your woman, otherwise ......"

"How else?"

"I'm not alone in your family's women, two thousand people are waiting outside!" Xia Hao said viciously.

"Hmm......" Xu Qing was not angered by these words, on the contrary, the more he looked at Xia Hao, the more cute he felt, what a big golden mountain! You know, last time Xu Qing tied up Xia Hao, but he made a huge amount of money, and the Xia family almost didn't squeeze it out, this time, squeeze it again? The Xia family can't only have that bit of background, doesn't he still have a father who went to Shandong to be an assassin?

"You, aren't you afraid?" Xia Hao saw Xu Qing's eager eyes, thinking that Xu Qing was going to "ask for something" from him, but Xia Hao was not disappointed, but his lower abdomen began to be hot, and finally the last line of defense collapsed: "Xu Tingshi, I didn't expect it...... Well, I misunderstood you, the people outside I told them to leave......"

“…… Xu Tingshi, you must be lighter......"

"Forehead......" Xu Qing was excited, and woke up from his thoughts: "Young Master Xia, how much do you think your head is worth?" ”

Hey? This is a familiar statement, a month ago......

"You!" Xia Hao heard the resentment in his heart again, he suffered for a month, wasn't it all due to the previous kidnapping?

"You're the same person you used to be, yes or no?"

Xu Qing smiled and didn't answer, expressing acquiescence, and without waiting for Xia Hao to speak again, he instructed his subordinates: "This kid took medicine, found it on him, and fed it all to him......"

"No, no, I'm going to die, why are you taking me hostage when I'm dead?!"

Xu Qing smiled evilly, and continued to instruct: "There is a sow in the second mother's house in Dongxiang, and she has no breeding pigs, so bring it over and accompany Xia Gongzi......"

"I'm going to kill you!" Xia Hao pounced on Xu Qing, but how could he hurt Xu Qing, Xu Qing kicked him away and walked straight out. Soon, a fat flower pig was brought over. At the beginning, Xia Hao's cursing could still be heard, and after a while, there was a sound of rough panting and the sound of a flower pig humming.

Xu Qing went to Cangnan Street.

On both sides of Cangnan Street, almost all the residents were scared half to death. They were asleep, but they were suddenly awakened, and at first they thought that the bandits had entered the city, and hurriedly hid their families, but later they thought that the water had gone and prayed that their houses would not be burned. Later, I only heard shouts and shouts outside the door, and I wanted to die or live......

After about an hour, there was silence outside the door again, and only the sound of horses' hooves and the dragging of corpses could be heard...... Who won the hell? They didn't know, they didn't dare to look, they covered their faces, and called out to God.

The sound of horses' hooves is naturally Xu Qing's team.

"Qi Yu assassination history, this battle killed 2,000 enemies, 500 casualties, the wounded have been treated, and 200 brothers have died."

"Let's pay a fixed amount of bereavement ......"

There will be casualties in a war, and what cannot be avoided or stopped. If such casualties are to be organized, the only way is to pay for more casualties. Alas, Ci is not in charge of the army, and all Xu Qing can do is to deal with the aftermath.

"Whoa!"

At the junction of Haixing County and Cangxian County, in the col where the ambush soldiers were buried, the news that Xu Qing fled without a fight spread throughout the entire ambush array, and everyone was relieved. Someone patted the person next to him on the shoulder to celebrate, but the person next to him scolded: "You dare to touch me? ”

"I, what am I going to do with you!"

"Will you try to move my finger again?"

"Try it, try it, move, what are you doing?"

"Oh, brothers, this kid dares to touch me!"

"Copy guy!"

……

For the allied army of the world, the ambush array suddenly became a mess, at first it was divided into two sides to fight, then three fights, four fights, until the mixed chaos battle.

Lu Jing couldn't stop it, and he knew that the general trend had gone, so he returned to the county government and rolled up the money, smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and slipped away......
