Volume 2 Rampant Qilu

Chapter 5 The Brave Tiger and Wolf Sweep the Evil Thief

Section 8 Into the City

The originally calm night sky was suddenly broken by an arrow that pierced the sky, and the dark night suddenly became noisy. Outside the Dongcheng Gate of Wenshang County, the large camp of the Hanwei Battalion sounded bursts of war drums, and nearly 5,000 soldiers quickly assembled under the call of war drums.

Lu Ying was standing outside the gate of the camp in full gear at this time, looking at Wenshang County not far away with a stern expression, and he was very anxious. At this time, the county town of Wenshang was already full of people, and there were bursts of fighting in the noise, and I don't know what the situation inside is now.

At this moment, Wen Poyu rode his horse and shouted, "Lu Ying! The army has been assembled! ”

Lu Ying took a deep breath and said loudly: "The baggage left the headquarters and more than 1,000 families to guard the camp, and Li Tianhao also led the Yue cavalry battalion to stay; All the rest of the horses immediately set off and headed for the east gate of Wenshang County! ”

With Lu Ying's order, all the headquarters of the Hanwei battalion took action, except for the men and horses who stayed in the camp, the rest of the headquarters quickly drove out of the camp and rushed towards Wenshang County.

It didn't take long for the army of the Hanwei battalion to come to the east city gate, and looking at the still closed city gate, Lu Ying and the others couldn't help but feel anxious. At this moment, the sound of fighting from the city became clearer and clearer, and the city walls were also full of people, and the defenders in the city seemed to be mobilizing. Lu Ying's eyes widened angrily when he saw this, and he secretly said in his heart: "What's going on, didn't the eldest brother say that someone would come to answer at the East City Gate?" Why is there no movement now! ”

Suddenly, Lu Ying heard the sound of killing in the city gate, and after a while, many guards guarding the city appeared on the city, and these guards shouted one after another, and many of them began to draw their bows and shoot arrows, preparing to attack the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion. Lu Ying was suddenly shocked and exclaimed, "Could it be that the eldest brother has been tricked?" Could it be that Liu Dian's person is Chen Qianhu's person! ”

At this moment, there was a strange sound from the east city gate, and then the heavy city gate opened a crack, Lu Ying saw through the crack in the door that several people were struggling to open the city gate, one of them rushed out, holding a knife in one hand and waving to the military formation of the Hanwei camp with the other, signaling the army to enter the city immediately; And some of the people further inside were the people who were fighting.

Lu Ying didn't have time to think about it at the moment, he made up his mind as soon as he gritted his teeth, and shouted loudly: "Wen Poyu, you lead the Changshui Department to block the four gates outside the city, and no one is allowed to leave Wenshang County to prevent the Wenxiang Sect from escaping; Gao Hongguang, after entering the city for a while, you will lead the Eagle Yang Department to directly take the Thousand Households Mansion to support the eldest brother; Wu Xing, after entering the city, you led the trapping troops to take the military camp in the city; Wang Dangdang, after entering the city, you led the Zhichong Department to control the county government and the treasury, and patrolled the streets to maintain order; Zhao Kaishan, after entering the city, you immediately took the Tiger Ben Department to capture the South Gate and the West Gate; I will take the North Gate and the East Gate with the Flying Feather Division. ”

Everyone who came to listen to the order clasped their fists and received the order, and then hurriedly returned to the command center in the formation. Lu Ying saw that all the generals were already in place, so he waved his sword and shouted: "All departments act immediately, and the army will enter the city!" ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Ying was the first to ride his horse and rush into the East City Gate, and the soldiers of the Hanwei Battalion also rushed into the East City Gate under the general command of each commander and killed their respective targets.

The defenders who were originally guarding the east gate saw that the wolf-like soldiers of the Hanwei battalion had entered the city, but they did not have the slightest resistance, and they all threw down their weapons and fled in all directions. Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan and others almost had no resistance, so they led their subordinates to rush to the city.

Lu Ying was overjoyed when he saw this, and while commanding his subordinates to control the East City Gate, he was preparing to take the rest of his men to the North City Gate. At this time, the man who opened the city gate for the army just now walked quickly towards Lu Ying and said: "This lord, I am Liu Dian's brother-in-law, my name is Jiang Wentian, and now Liu Qian is in the Qianhu Mansion, my lord, go to the rescue!" ”

Lu Ying heard this and said: "It turned out to be Jiang Zongqi, and I am Lu Ying, the general of the Hanwei battalion." Jiang Zongqi, don't worry, I have already arranged for reinforcements to go. Now the soldiers of our Hanwei battalion are taking over the defense of the city, and I also ask Jiang Zongqi to gather his men and horses, so as not to accidentally injure friendly troops. ”

Jiang Wentian heard that Lu Ying had sent reinforcements, and he was immediately overjoyed, and said: "Since this is the case, the next thing will be troublesome to General Lu, so I will gather my men and horses to go to my brother-in-law Liu Dian's house, I am worried that there will be chaos in the city, so I want to protect it." ”

"This is as it should be, Mr. Jiang, please take it, and when everything is done, my family will come to thank you in person."

After saying that, the two hugged their fists and said goodbye; After Lu Ying settled the defense of the East City Gate, he led people to the North City Gate, while Jiang Wentian disappeared into the night with the remaining dozen or so men.

The words are divided into two ends, not to mention that Lu Ying and Zhao Kaishan are dividing their troops to capture various city gates, nor to say that Wang Dangdang directly controls the county government and the treasury in his hands; After the trap led by Wu Xing arrived at the military camp in the city, he happened to collide with Chen Qianhu, who was about to lead his troops out of the camp to Qianhu Mansion!

Seeing this, Wu Xing immediately shouted: "Brothers, line up and start a war!" "The soldiers of the trapping department immediately moved when they heard the order, and the four hundred and twenty soldiers immediately formed a tight infantry formation; The extermination array of the sentry force was in front of the formation, and the heavy spears and the long knives of the cold light were pointed at Chen Qianhu's headquarters, and more than 600 people of his troops were immediately forced to stop at the gate of the barracks.

Chen Qianhu looked at the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion opposite, and the cold chill suddenly hit his whole body, and the whole person froze there, and said secretly in his heart: "How long has it been, how did these generals of the Hanwei battalion enter the city?" Are all the soldiers and horses defending the city dead? Looks like I'm going to have a big disaster today. ”

At this moment, Wu Xing shouted: "Enter!" ”

The soldiers of the trap began to advance in formation, slowly approaching the defenders who stopped at the gate of the barracks. At this time, Chen Qianhu looked at the subordinates around him, and found that all the soldiers around him were pale, and he couldn't raise the slightest fighting spirit in the face of the very elite Hanwei battalion soldiers, and he suddenly felt a burst of despair in his heart.

"Give it to me! Fight with them, and those who dare to take a step back will be killed! Chen Qianhu shouted in vain, but the soldiers around him were hesitating, all slowly retreating, all blocked at the entrance of the barracks, and no one dared to rush forward to fight with the tiger-wolf-like soldiers of the Hanwei battalion. After all, how many pounds and taels he has is very clear about these guards, rushing up and fighting with those border soldiers who have survived a hundred battles, what are you kidding!

Seeing this, Chen Qianhu knew that the general trend had gone, and the nerves that had already been tense suddenly collapsed, and he shouted and brandished his sword alone and rushed towards the soldiers who came into formation, and was directly killed by Wu Xing.

Seeing this, the remaining more than 600 guards immediately collapsed, threw aside their weapons one after another, and began to surrender to the soldiers in the trap.

Wu Xing was very happy to see that he had killed Chen Qianhu without spending a single soldier, and had forced hundreds of enemy troops in the barracks to surrender; But when he thought that Liu Yunwei was still surrounded in the Qianhu Mansion, he hurriedly left a sentry to guard the prisoners, and then beheaded Chen Qianhu, and then led the main force to rush to the Qianhu Mansion to rescue.

At this time, the Qianhu Mansion had already been killed in a river of blood, and Liu Yunwei took a few guards around him, while protecting Xu Zhixian, and rushed to the outer courtyard to join the soldiers of the Long Xiang Army.

However, Liu Yunwei and his entourage immediately fell into the enemy's crazy siege, although the number of each side was equal, and the soldiers of the Longxiang Department were far more elite than the other party, but the already small outer courtyard was crowded with more than 1,000 people, everyone was fighting desperately, at this time, what skills, what formations were useless, and the forces of both sides were all mixed together. Everyone does not dare to pause at all, and the slightest negligence will kill the enemy, regardless of whether they are superior in martial arts or not, everyone is like this!

Xu Feng can be said to be dead at the moment, he was involved in such a bloody battle in a daze, and the thousands of households in the city also colluded with the cult to conspire to rebel, it seems that even if he saves his life tonight, the black gauze hat on his head will not be able to save it in the future. Thinking of this, Xu Feng's heart was even more painful.

Suddenly, there was a sound of iron hooves outside the gate of the outer courtyard, and then the gate was slammed into it. The two sides who were fighting were stunned, and neither side knew if the people and horses who came were their own reinforcements, so they didn't dare to open the door easily. The battle continued, but the gate crumbled with the sound of banging.

"Mr. Liu Qian, are you the thief outside the door? Are we going to die here? Xu Feng cried out almost in despair.

Who knew that Liu Yunwei looked up to the sky and laughed, and shouted: "Haha, open the door for me!" Open the door! Reinforcements are coming, I want to let that thief die without a place to be buried, brothers kill! ”

Hearing Liu Yunwei's shout, the soldiers in the courtyard immediately reacted, and the uniform sound of iron hooves outside the door was definitely not something that the guards could make, it must be a very elite iron horseman. How many elite iron cavalry can there be in Wenshang County now? It can only be the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion and the reinforcements of everyone!

As a result, the soldiers of the Longxiang army near the gate rushed out of the door, and several soldiers tried their best to kill the enemy who stood in front of them, and then swung their knives and slashed at the heavy deadbolt. Immediately after that, the gate opened under the heavy impact, and Gao Hongguang led the soldiers of the Eagle Yang Department to dismount one after another, and rushed into the outer courtyard to join the battle group.

At this time, the victorious scales suddenly tilted towards the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion, and just when Liu Yunwei joined Gao Hongguang's troops to kill the enemy, Wu Xing also led the soldiers of the trapping department to arrive. As soon as he entered the outer courtyard, Wu Xing raised Chen Qianhu's head high and shouted: "The leader of the rebels is dead, and the rest will not be killed!" ”

Seeing this, the guards in the courtyard immediately lost their morale and began to surrender one after another, and a small number of guards who would rather die than surrender were quickly killed by the surrounding Hanwei battalion soldiers.

Soon, the hustle and bustle of Wenshang County returned to tranquility, but the originally peaceful night was covered with a layer of scarlet, and the air was filled with heavy blood.
