Chapter 317: Old Knowledge
When Xie Qiao ordered the light cavalry to detour and attack and intercept Zhou Changlu's back road, Zhou Changlu was already pale, as for the other soldiers, they were even more bold in the persecution of the dead end, but after crazy killing, Zhou Changlu did not believe in evil, he felt that he was not wrong, a general who did not know how to sympathize with his subordinates, was definitely not worth serving, so in the encirclement of Xie Qiao's light cavalry and the array of crossbow and crossbow foot soldiers, Zhou Changlu took the knife and stood up: "Brothers, our life is not good, we have not followed a good general, since we want to die, we must also die upright!" ”
The words fell, Zhou Changlu and these people rushed forward, in the face of hundreds of desperate soldiers, the small colonel of the light cavalry commanded with a gun, and when he was about to charge, the direction behind him was strong, and he turned around in surprise to see that it was the banner of the Bei'an Army.
In front of the Bei'an cavalry, Zhao Yuan bowed down to the horse, and when he saw the Dongzhou army riding in front of the three-edged knife straight to the sky, a killing word was like thunder and roaring, bringing the bravery of the cavalry behind him, and this surprise attack directly made Xie Qiao's light cavalry team confused.
"Damn... It's the Bei'an Army, why did they come? Quick, turn to the enemy! ”
The colonel said urgently, but Zhao Yuan's department ran very fast, and rushed to the front in the blink of an eye, and when the Bei'an cavalry rushed into the Dongzhou cavalry, the colonel's light cavalry team was like rice flying, breaking and scattering, and Zhou Changlu saw the Bei'an banner, and immediately burst into tears, just now, he even thought that he was used by the Bei'an army, but when he saw the Bei'an army's soldiers rushing to kill, he realized that the original Bei'an army's banner of loyalty had already been like a pillar of the sky, standing on the wilderness of northern Xinjiang.
"Wait for the retreat, quick!"
Zhao Yuan cut off the head of the little colonel with a knife, and then turned around and slashed horizontally within a zhang range, Dongzhou light cavalry was invincible, making a gap in the encirclement array, Zhou Changlu heard the roar, and immediately gathered his brothers to fight back, Xie Qiao saw this, and his eyes suddenly burst into anger.
"The Bei'an Army is so bold, it dares to secretly act as my Dongzhou Army, and the colonels listen to the order and chase down the army!"
But the Bei'an cavalry is different from the Dongzhou cavalry, they are few and well equipped, and in Lin Xiu's order, each person has an arm crossbow is standard, when the Dongzhou light cavalry is scattered, the Bei'an cavalry has completely controlled the retreat route, and when Zhou Changlu and these soldiers withdraw along the gap, dozens of steps away, Xie Qiao's headquarters has been pressed, in this regard, Zhao Yuan ordered Mao Yun to shoot a crossbow to resist.
Mao Yun and more than 100 other horsemen scattered and fired flat, aiming at the flags of several arrays, and directly shot the junior colonel Du Bo in front of the array, without the command of the array, the chasing speed of these arrays immediately plummeted, and Xie Qiao knew the consequences of the chaos of the array, in order to avoid being counterattacked by Zhao Yuan, he could only suspend the offensive, and only use crossbowmen to throw and do pursuit and killing, but this only injured Zhou Changlu and other chaotic soldiers.
After half a pillar of incense, Zhao Yuan led his troops to protect Zhou Changlu and other hundreds of remnants of the three teams out of danger, and after making sure that there were no chasing soldiers behind him, he reined in his horse and gasped, and turned around to look at the fire in the direction of the pioneer camp. It's just that Zhao Yuan didn't know that during their attack and retreat, a pair of eyes had been staring at him, making sure that Zhao Yuan's department was retreating safely, and the gray-clothed rider went back to tell him.
"Brother Sheng, Zhao Yuan has retreated safely, and he is still taking hundreds of Dongzhou rebels!" Quan Chong told Lin Sheng back, and Lin Sheng sat in front of the bonfire under the tree wrapped in gray cloth clothes, only caring about roasting the hares that were beaten.
"Brother Sheng, what does this Zhao Yuan want to do? Expand the army to strengthen your own headquarters? Ding Yao said suspiciously, Lin Sheng smiled at this, and did not respond, when the roast rabbit meat was fragrant, and Lin Sheng was feasting, a thin and pale man ran from behind, and he also led two wine gourds in his hands.
"Boss, this is from the village in front, pure old wine, you can taste it!"
Lin Sheng took the wine gourd, took a sip, and then leaked a satisfied look, but what he said next made the man a little cramped: "Cui Chenghao, you are a ranger apprentice, I don't ask you to grow up quickly, but if you don't listen to military orders again and again, and do your own thing, once you cause trouble, don't blame Lao Tzu for not being emotional!" ”
Cui Chenghao smiled: "Boss, what you said, brothers, listen, right now we have been wandering around in this Lindong realm for many days, the brothers have a bad stomach wine worm, just taking advantage of the Dongzhou military chaos, flawless to take into account the surrounding situation, the brothers dare to enter the village to find some food, but don't worry, this is all bought with money, the old man thought we were thieves at first, and he was scared to ask for it, but we just stuffed the money on him, and almost scared the old man to pee!" ”
The answer provoked Quan Chong and Ding Yao to laugh and scold: "You bastards, the bandit nature is difficult to change, and it is Brother Sheng who loses it, if you are replaced by General Lin, you will be punished with at least two canes!" ”
Speaking of General Lin, Cui Chenghao, most of the Jianghu men and military warriors who later joined the Righteous Scale Army have heard of Lin Zhongyi's name, but they don't know about him, and Lin Sheng is silent on weekdays, and when he is not fighting and training, he basically doesn't say much. I can give up everything I have for him..."
Linshui County Government, Lincheng Lord Bo Xu Anmin hurriedly paced back and forth, which made Anhe and Chen Yu look at him with contempt, and now the prestige of the Bei'an Army is getting stronger and stronger, although it has provoked a lot of foreign hostility, but in the eyes of the people of Linshui County, they are proud, and Xu Anmin came to ask for help this time, which made the prestige of Lincheng drop to the extreme, so that Yao Qisheng was inconvenient to say anything.
"Two, why hasn't Lin Zhongyi come yet? Mo is not the signal not delivered? ”
"Lord Xu, what's the hurry? The Bei'an Army is now nearly 10,000 people, and Lin Xiu is busy with the patrol and defense drills of the four fields every day, how can he come so quickly? If you want me to say, you should go to the county post house first and see you tomorrow! "Chen Yu spoke to dissuade him, but Xu Anmin has something important to do, how can he wait?"
When Xu Anmin heard what Chen Yu said, he was immediately shocked: "Nearly 10,000 people, when did he Lin Xiu expand his army again?" Why didn't you report to Lincheng? In this regard, Chen Yu and An He should not be, leaving Xu Anmin to think alone.
In the side courtyard outside the county government, Lin Xiu had arrived half a moment ago, but the messenger sent by Chen Yu told Lin Xiu not to take the Lincheng officials too seriously, and had to put pressure on them, so he waited for a long time before Lin Xiu was ready to go to see Xu Anmin.
When he arrived at the county government, Lin Xiu was full of suspicion about the warrant brought by Xu Anmin: "There are rebels in Linbei? Weird! ”
Tang Chuanwen and Su Wen, who accompanied him, were also suspicious, and Su Wen said: "General, our scout patrol has been placed fifteen miles north of Lincheng recently, and we haven't heard of any bandits..."
