Chapter Eighty-Seven: Chestnut in the Fire
"Ahh
Zhao Hunt's flashlight moved up, and found that there was still a person tied to the rope, that person was illuminated by a strong light, instinctively raised his hand to cover his eyes, frightened, at a loss, and the result was also a miss-"Ah! ”
The strong light moved up again, and there was a person at the head of the city who jumped on the battlement, ready to go down with a rope, and the pillar of light shone brightly, his hands and feet were weak, and he exclaimed and fell down.
In the dark night, the pillar of light was like a sword, and Zhao Lie was like a Jedi Knight with a light sword, and he only swept it away with ease, and he knocked down three enemies. The frightened bird is nothing more than that.
The enemy was shocked, and Zhao Lie was even more shocked - I said, how did the city defense be withdrawn, and the torches at the head of the city were extinguished, it turned out that the opponent thought of going with us.
The Yuan soldiers also wanted to attack at night, but chose the same section of the city wall, the same route, and the enemy and us met unexpectedly at the head of the city.
The successive screams alarmed the entire Yuan soldiers near the south gate. In the dark night, there was a sudden burst of firelight, and the sound of footsteps was heard everywhere. Some of them couldn't figure out their direction and scurried around like headless flies, while many more were running towards it.
"Damn, it's not good to be a teacher!" Zhao Lie didn't care about hiding his figure, and took the special bamboo whistle into his mouth, preparing to blow and retreat. Since the enemy has been alarmed, tonight's operation will be in vain, and no matter how unwilling he is, he will have to retreat. Fortunately, the squad did not go deeper, and it was completely too late to retreat at this time.
But at this moment, an exclamation made Zhao Lie change his mind and change the entire battle situation.
"A thousand households! Ma Qianhu! Are you okay? The cry came from the city, and the voice was anxious.
There were a few humming voices from the base of the city wall, and a voice endured pain said: "Nothing happens, silence!" ”
Thousands of households? Ma Qianhu!
Zhao Lie has made the situation of the commander of the Yuan Army in the Jiyang Military City very clear in the past few days, and there were originally two thousand households in the military city, namely the thousand households of the Han Army and the thousand households of the newly attached army, and there were two Daru Huachi on each of them. After Ma Chengwang entered the city, there was another thousand households in the military city: Ma Yinglin, an official of thousands of households in Qiongzhou.
Ma Yinglin is the second son of Ma Chengwang, who once followed his brother Ma Fuji in the suppression of the Sanba pirates and the Li Fang rebellion, and was named thousands of households after surrendering to the Yuan Dynasty with his father. This time, Ma Chengwang was ordered to connect with Li Tong Zhufang, and Ma Yinglin led 200 guards to accompany him.
When Ma Chengwang heard that there was a police in the Jiyang Military City, he led his troops to break into the military city and take over the command, and his son Ma Yinglin played a big role in it.
To sum up, there is only one thousand households surnamed Ma in the Jiyang Military City - Ma Yinglin.
Zhao Lie let go of the rope and jumped down, the flashlight pillar locking onto a person lying on the ground. The man's eyes were hard to open, and he subconsciously opened his palms to block the light source. Despite this, it was enough for Zhao Lie to see this person's face clearly: twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a slightly dark complexion, a narrow face, a slight beard under the chin, dressed in gray clothes, and carrying a long sword.
Zhao Lie stepped on the injured ankle of this person, and in the other party's hissing and pain, the dagger provoked the person's waist card, which was indeed a gilt silver thousand household card. On the obverse, the Uighur script and the Chinese characters "Thousands of Households of the Official Army" are engraved in the lower corner, all of which are the previous owners of the silver medal, the last of which is "Ma".
When Zhao Lie looked at the sign carefully, this person quietly held the hilt of the sword with his backhand in pain, but before he could make the next move, the cold light flashed, and his wrist was pierced by the dagger.
In the earth-shattering screams, Zhao Lie's faint voice came into his ears: "Ma Qianhu, fortunately." ”
……
Jiyang Military Town guarded the mansion, Ma Chengwang had a palpitation for no reason, put down his tea arms, got up from the chair, and paced back and forth with his hands in his hands.
The old servant who served panicked: "My lord, your injury ......"
"Nothing." Ma Chengwang pressed his shoulder, which was wrapped in a thick white cloth, and waved his hand.
The former governor of Qinzhou in the Song Dynasty, the governor of Qiongzhou, and the deputy Wanhu Mansion in Qiongzhou in the Yuan Dynasty are only fifty years old, with slightly frosty temples and elegant appearance. He is not tall or strong, which is not surprising, although he valued the military exploits of Pingnan for the Song and Yuan dynasties, but he himself was a real Jinshi.
However, no matter how much he read the sage books, it was useless, and in the face of the glory and wealth and the five horses, he instinctively chose the former, and then followed Ali Hague to cross the sea and attack Qiong. In the battle to pacify Qiongzhou, Ma Chengwang persuaded Zhao and Luo to surrender but failed, so he planned to incite his subordinates to rebel, and Zhao and Luo were executed, and Qiongzhou was broken. It can be said that he has made a great contribution to this campaign.
Some time ago, Ali Hague revealed to him through Long Wenxiang that the imperial court intends to set up a pacification department on Qiongzhou Road, and he is expected to serve as a pacification envoy, and there is only one opportunity left at the moment.
So Ma Chengwang did not avoid the hardships and dangers, went deep into Lidong, and persuaded the Bafan barbarians to gather in Qiongguan and cross the sea to meet Ali Hague. As soon as the matter became apparent, I was shocked to hear that the remnants of the Xing Dynasty were besieging the Jiyang army. At that moment, Ma Chengwang realized that the opportunity had come. As long as he drags the remnants of the Xing Dynasty army under the Jiyang military city, the Wanhu Mansion in Qiongzhou will definitely send troops to encircle him. At that time, the inside and the outside should be united, and the remnants of the army of the Xing Dynasty should be gathered and annihilated under the city. With such a great achievement, it is not impossible to say that it is not impossible to say that there is only a Qiongzhou Road pacification envoy, and it is not impossible to preach the consolation envoy of Guangxi Liangjiang Road.
The world will be decided, and there are not many opportunities for him to make meritorious contributions, so we must seize them.
The attack out of the city tonight was proposed by his son Ma Yinglin, and the father and son finalized it after some deduction. Seeking every opportunity to attack or attack can not only increase the morale of one's own army, but also disrupt the enemy and hit the morale of the enemy, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Like Zhao Lie, the Ma father and son also chose to attack in Shuori, and the route was also chosen at the South Gate, which can be said to be the same.
The son personally led the thirty elite to attack, and Ma Chengwang was able to drink tea calmly at the beginning, but after a while, he became irritable for no reason. As soon as I got up and paced back and forth a few times, I heard the noise in the distance, and listened carefully, it was the direction of Nancheng.
Ma Chengwang's heart jumped, and he shouted outside the official hall: "What's the noise? Check it out. ”
The guards hurriedly left.
But at a moment, the guards rushed into the official hall sweating profusely, with a happy face: "Congratulations, sir!" There is a sneak attack by the Song army team at the south gate......"
Ma Chengwang was stunned for a moment, there was a sneak attack by the Song army team, which is also worth congratulating?
The guards continued: "The sneak attack on the Song army was met by Ma Qianhu, and they were hit head-on, and they fled in the wilderness, and the more than ten people who did not escape were captured by the second son, and they were escorted to the town guard. ”
Ma Chengwang snorted: "This Zhang Shijie is also poor in skills, and he actually makes this hand...... Can you see clearly, is it really Ying Lin? ”
"It's true, it's the second son, with a team of Song troops behind him, who is coming along the troop transport road. But ......"
"But what?"
The second son seemed to be wounded and was carried by several soldiers. Rest assured, the adults asked from afar, and the injury was not in the way. ”
Ma Chengwang was relieved.
In order to prevent leakage, Ma Yinglin made a secret attack this time, coming and going not through Lifang Street, but on the road of transport. This troop transport road is a bit like a sandwich wall road, one end is connected to the barracks, one side is the city wall, and the other side is a high wall, which is cut off from the residents of Lifang. In the event of an emergency, soldiers' ordnance could be quickly transported to the various sections of the wall. There are guards at both ends of the road, and no one is allowed to pass unless they have a warrant from the town guard. And the only one who has a warrant tonight is his son Ma Yinglin.
"Although it failed to harass the enemy camp, it is also a credit to break the enemy's hidden blade and capture the night with small hands." Ma Chengwang first set the tone for his son's action tonight, thinking about it after all, he couldn't rest assured, and waved his sleeves at the old servant, "Change into official clothes and go and see." ”
Ma Chengwang, who hurriedly changed into his official uniform, just walked out of the mansion, and was greeted by a large number of people and rushed over.
Hundreds of guards were busy lining up on guard, and at the same time shouted: "Who is coming?" ”
The other side replied: "The second son, Ma Yinglin." ”
Ma Chengwang took the torch handed by his entourage, lined up with the crowd, held up the fire, and sure enough, he saw his son Ma Yinglin. He was being carried at the moment...... Hmm, no, it seems more like a grasp. Then, Ma Chengwang saw his son's eyes.
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, he only looked at his son, and Ma Chengwang understood everything.
He decisively threw down the torch and quickly retreated, saying only one short word: "Kill!" ”
