Chapter 42 The Bandits' Bloodstained Eight Desolations
In the hall of the county office, Zhao Xiancheng, who was in charge of central scheduling, received the news that the north of the city was attacked by bandits a quarter of an hour ago, and he was immediately anxious like a donkey pulling a mill, walking back and forth anxiously in the hall. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although someone had been sent to inform the county lieutenant Su who was defending in the south of the city to hurry up and bring all his men and horses to the north of the city to support, the sound of explosions like thunder from the north of the city was endless, which made Zhao Xiancheng feel that something was unusual.
When did there be a thunder in the war, and it was not cloudy and rainy, Zhao Xiancheng, who felt that things were extremely unusual, finally couldn't hold back his anxious mood, entrusted the affairs of the county government to the king lord Bo, and decided to go to the north of the city to investigate in person with a few officials. After all, there is only a group of students and officials guarding the city, which is really not reassuring.
In case the county seat is breached, anyone may be able to save a small life. There is only one way to die, and there is no other choice at all. If the bandit army does not kill itself, the court will cut off its own head, lose the black cauldron of the city and land, and may even raze the nine clans, it seems that being hacked to death by the bandit army is also a good way out.
On the way, I happened to meet Lieutenant Su with a few soldiers to the north of the city in a hurry.
Zhao Xiancheng looked at the county lieutenant Su and only brought a few soldiers with Ququ, and was suddenly a little dissatisfied: "County Lieutenant Su, such a big change has happened in the north of the city, and it is difficult to deal with it with only such manpower." ”
"Yu Zhao County, the current war is not clear. Zhengqiu, lest this be a trick of the bandits, and dare not transfer manpower. In the north of the city, only the sound of bombing and thunder was heard, and the wounded were not evacuated, and perhaps things did not develop to the worst level, and we must deal with it carefully and investigate first. I ordered Deputy Lieutenant Chen to strengthen the defense in the south of the city in case of a plan. ”
Zhao Xiancheng nodded and said, "Lieutenant Su is really from the army, and he is thoughtful, so let's go and investigate quickly." ”
Just halfway through the road, the incessant sound of explosion and thunder suddenly stopped, and the two officials glanced at each other, and it seemed that the change had happened again. Ignoring the appearance of the officials, he left his entourage behind, beat his horse and galloped towards the north of the city.
When the two officials rushed to the city gate tower in a state of disarray, they happened to see Wen and Zheng Zhutou arguing somewhere. His face suddenly became gloomy, but the tension in his heart was relieved a lot, and there was also the leisure of quarreling, which proved that the city defense was not a big problem.
Although Wen is quarrelling, the fact that he is looking at all directions is strong, otherwise it is easy to be shot with cold arrows on the battlefield, this time there are no cold arrows, only the black faces of the two officials come into view.
"Zheng Zhutou, I made it clear that although the bandit army has retreated, its strength still exists, and it cannot be easily pursued and suppressed."
Zheng Zhutou looked at the smell of righteous words that suddenly changed, but he really didn't react, he was still farting with himself just now, why did he change his face in an instant.
"San Lang, that's right, now the situation is unclear, it's better to be safe. Zheng Zhutou should not be impatient. Zhao Xiancheng took over the conversation from afar.
Zheng Zhu's hand covering his cheeks began to tremble obviously, this damn smell, he sold himself in an instant, and a black cauldron that rushed forward was firmly buckled on his head.
"Qi Qi Zhao Xiancheng, in the battle with the bandit army just now, Zheng Zhutou's heroic and fearless performance made us admire it a lot, and now he is seriously injured, but he still fights tenaciously and swears to eliminate the bandits, which is really a model for us." Wen Ying, Zhao Xiancheng, who walked towards him, hugged his fists and saluted.
"Well, it's all good." Zhao Xiancheng nodded.
Zheng Zhutou looked at Wen and Zhao Xiancheng singing and talking for a long time, and then realized that if he was caught by Shangguan on the battlefield and quarreled, and quarreled because of disagreement, the treatment he received in the end would definitely be completely different. This smell is simply an official oil.
"Report to Zhao Xiancheng, the bandit army dispatched more than 1,000 people this time, and they were all repelled by our army." Wen led Zhao Xiancheng and Su Xianwei to stand on the city wall and watch down the city, hundreds of corpses were scattered in front of the city wall, and at a glance, they knew that the bandit army had suffered heavy casualties.
Looking at the corpses of the bandits under the city wall, the shock in the hearts of the two officials was not enough to describe the degree of horror, and they glanced at each other, and they both saw deep doubts in each other's eyes. The battle ended too quickly, and in just two quarters of an hour, thousands of bandit troops had been declared annihilated, which was really incredible.
"What about our casualties?" County Lieutenant Su asked.
In the fierce battle with the bandits, Zheng Zhutou bravely stood on the city wall to fight against the bandits, and was seriously injured in the end. The rest of the people, under the premise that Zheng Zhutou's righteousness attracted the attention of the bandits, were only slightly injured. Wen Ying said.
Zheng Zhutou looked at the roots of his teeth with hatred, and he almost scolded his mother in his heart. Damn it, if you praise me or scold me, you just call me stupid.
"There are no major losses, which is very good, San Lang and Zheng Zhutou have made a great contribution this time." Lieutenant Su smiled forcefully.
In fact, what County Lieutenant Su wants to ask most now is how this battle was fought, only Zheng Zhutou was slightly injured, but he was afraid that the answer to the question was not what he should know at his level, and if he knew more about some things, he would definitely not live long.
"I don't dare to do it." Zheng Zhutou excused himself, this credit really has nothing to do with himself.
"Is there a big reward for merit?" Wen Daxi said, gunpowder has cost him a lot of money, and it is best to compensate a little.
Both responses rang out at the same time. Wen and Zheng Zhutou glanced at each other, and two words popped out of their hearts at the same time, villain.
"........" County Lieutenant Su smiled awkwardly, God knows what the reward is.
There was a thunderous sound from the direction of the battlefield, which also made Cheng Laoqi, the leader of the bandit army, and the leaders of the group unsettled, and before they could make up their minds on how to deal with it, the news that half of the 1,000 bandit army had been wiped out.
The leaders in surprise immediately brought all the people and went to answer.
Liu Dascar should now be renamed Scarface Liu, and there are few pieces of good skin on his entire face, which are full of broken bamboo and iron pieces, and the blood is unbearable. Looking at Cheng Laoqi, who came to pick him up, Liu Dascar slammed up and hugged Cheng Laoqi's thighs and cried.
Cheng Laoqi looked at Liu Dascar, who was like a scarecrow in front of him, and almost didn't recognize it.
"Brother Liu, what the hell is going on?" Cheng Laoqi asked in surprise.
"Commander Cheng, you must avenge Liu, those officials don't know what weapons they used, they are very powerful. With just one explosion, many pieces of iron, broken bamboo, and other objects suddenly appeared, hurting people everywhere, and it was impossible to prevent them. Liu Dascar's cry was a little sullen and hoarse, and his vocal cords were undoubtedly seriously damaged.
Everyone in charge looked at Liu Dascar, who was incomparably miserable in front of him, and they were all glad in their hearts, fortunately, they didn't take the credit at that time.
"Everyone is in charge, the officials and soldiers have such sharp weapons, how can we wait?" Cheng Laoqi asked worriedly.
The leaders looked at each other for a moment, and they all shook their heads to express helplessness.
"Seeing that Liu Mou threw this weapon with his hands, the throwing distance would definitely not be too far. We build more catapults, and as long as we smash them all to death on the city wall, the officers and soldiers will lose the possibility of using this sharp weapon. Liu Dascar suggested hatefully.
"Well, you can give it a try. Immediately dispatch people to cut down trees and build catapults. I'll meet this awesome guy later. Cheng Laoqi said dryly.
It is said that since ancient times, heroes cherish heroes, and heroes who can defeat thousands of people in an instant can not be ignored. I'm also a hero, so why don't I go for a while. If you can subdue this person, the great cause will be accomplished.
"Commander Cheng, I'm afraid it's dangerous!" The leaders hurriedly persuaded.
"It doesn't matter, since the other party is a hero, he will definitely not use a yin move. After the official siege of the city, who will kill the deer, see the real chapter on the battlefield. ”
When the leaders saw that they couldn't persuade them, they didn't persuade them, and they didn't want to weaken their reputation. Besides, as long as you keep a safe distance, it's fine. How far can a hand-thrown weapon be thrown.
The bell of the bandit army was found on the city tower ringing again, and Zhao Xiancheng looked at the thousands of bandit troops rushing in the distance, and his expression immediately became nervous.
County Lieutenant Su turned back to a soldier with a serious face and ordered: "Go quickly and inform Deputy Lieutenant Chen, bring all the horses and horses to support the north of the city, and the bandit army will pour out." ”
"No." The soldier responded with a fist clenched and quickly left.
"San Lang, do you have a way to deal with it?" Zhao Xiancheng asked Wen for advice.
In the previous battle, Wen effortlessly repelled thousands of bandit troops, which greatly strengthened Zhao Xiancheng's confidence in Wen's ability.
"Let's take a look first, I always feel that this time the bandit army doesn't seem to be here to attack the city." Wen replied casually with a pout.
Zhao Xiancheng was choked by Wen Xiancheng's casual attitude, this is war, what kind of attitude do you have, I don't know the sky is high and the earth is thick, I think that if I win a battle, I can ignore the war, and I can play child's play?
When Zhao County was slandering, the bandit army was already lining up in a stone's throw away, and a big man on horseback shouted to the city tower: "It was the hero who defeated Cheng Mou Qianerlang, please show up." ”
Everyone on the tower of the city looked and smelled.
Wen's face suddenly darkened, and this anger didn't hit one place, what are you staring at me for? Whoever defeats a thousand bandits, is it not your part? Seeing that the bandits want to recognize people now so that they can retaliate in the future, they are all cowardly.
Wen took a few steps forward with a folding fan in his hand, and fanned a few times in the winter, clasped his fists and said loudly: "The hero who defeated your thousand sons is the one who is subservient." ”
Cheng Laoqi looked at Wen who stood up, and his fierce face showed surprise, it turned out to be such a young kid.
"Cheng Mou is Cheng Qiyuan, the big boss of Xiaofeng Mountain, dare to ask the hero's name?"
Sure enough, he wanted to take revenge, so he began to find out his name. Wen clasped his hands into fists and shouted loudly: "Don't change your name when you go down, and don't change your surname when you sit." The people of the rivers and lakes sent the bandit number to the blood-stained eight wildernesses, and asked Kaiyuan yes. ”
The expressions of the people on the city tower suddenly twitched.
This is simply impossible to look at directly, in front of so many people, lying in public, and the expression is still so calm and natural. Tan Fengyi almost covered her face with her beautiful jade hands, and she felt a burst of blush for Wen now. If there is a regret pill to take, her biggest hope now is to never know this scumbag.
After all, if she knew Cheng Laoqi, if she didn't have a different position from Cheng Laoqi now, Tan Fengyi wanted to tell Cheng Laoqi, don't believe what she said, don't believe a word.
