Chapter 610: Understanding the Ghost
"Jumping Army?"
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and Wu Ming said: "Could it be that Gongzi has already made arrangements?" β
Guo An also said: "Young marshal, should we go and seize the city gate and lower the drawbridge, so that General Yuguan's men and horses can enter the fort to help in the battle?" β
Xue Shao said with a smile: "Of course, the city gate is to be taken, but General Yuguan is already in the city!" β
"Oh?!" Everyone was amazed.
"No need to say more!" Xue Shao shouted, "Generalβ"
"No!" All of them were solemn and clenched their fists to obey orders.
"Guo An, lead your brothers to seize the city gate and put down the drawbridge, once the battle starts, there will be soldiers and horses to meet you." Xue Shao said, "Wu Ming, come with me!" β
"Yesβ"
The crowd received the order and quickly split into two ways and ran away. Guo An led the scouts to the gate of the fortress like a whirlwind of clouds, while Xue Shao and Wu Ming turned into the alley together, and got into the alleys of the houses with all kinds of twists and turns.
At this time, a fierce battle had already broken out in the south of the fort.
Zhang Renyuan did as Xue Shao ordered, and when he saw the three thousand minions in the fort fully armed and began to assemble, he set fire to the grain hoard. With the fire, Zhang Renyuan was pleasantly surprised to find that there were a lot of robes pouring out of his surroundings - all of them were soldiers of the Jumping Army, and Zhang Renyuan didn't know when they lurked in!
Liu Yuan personally came to count the men and horses to prepare for the big battle, but before the men and horses were assembled, they were disrupted by a fire.
Nanho granary is Liu Yuan's lifeblood, and he hurriedly sent his cronies and nephews to lead half of the men and horses to rescue. However, before his men and horses could reach the granary in the south, they ran into a strange cavalry composed of cloth men and footmen, numbering about a hundred hundred.
The first person is Zhang Renyuan.
Without saying a word, he took the lead in rushing in against the Liu family's men and horses with a horse lance. These doormen raised by the Liu family are used to being arrogant on weekdays, how can they take the porter in their eyes? So they shouted loudly to meet the battle, thinking that they would be caught, but as soon as their leader fought, he was pierced through the chest by Zhang Renyuan's horse lance, and he died cold.
The minions of the Liu family were shocked, this leader was the most powerful martial artist among the three thousand guests, and he couldn't make a move in front of this "porter"?
Stunned for a moment, Zhang Renyuan and the porters behind him all started with murderous knives and guns, like chopping melons and vegetables, and more than a dozen people had already died!
Only then did the minions of the Liu family realize that the other party was definitely not an ordinary porter! -- There are only more than 100 people, and they can have such a strong fighting force!
"Hurry up and sound the gong to warn and ask for help!"
"Dangdangdang" A gong sounded, startling Liu Yuan and the others in the distance.
"More than 1,000 people went to fight the fire, can it still go wrong?" Liu Yuan was suspicious in his heart, he wanted to go to help the war and arrest Xue Shao, and he was in a dilemma for a while.
At this moment, about 300 riders took the initiative to approach the Liujia schoolyard. The knights were all ragged and at first glance looked like ordinary coolies, but each of them was full of murderous spirit, like a murderous sword about to be unsheathed.
The first person is carrying a terrifying weapon that is as long as a zhang - Fang Tian's Halberd!
More than 300 people, like thousands of troops, exuded an extremely strong aura of killing intent, and they suppressed Liu Yuan, a thousand people, on the spot!
Liu Yuan's eyes widened and he looked at the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, a chill seemed to come out of the bone marrow, and he couldn't help but make his lips tremble, "You, who are you?" β
Fang Tian's halberd was raised obliquely, and the tip of the halberd was pointing at Liu Yuan, like thunder on the ground.
"Dismount and be bound!"
The murderous aura like a substance made Liu Yuan suddenly feel that he couldn't breathe well, and he was chilled, and even the horses under his seat took two steps back in panic, and their manes were about to stand up.
"Earl, earl, there are absolutely very few people in the world who can use Fang Tian to draw halberds, this, this person should be the number one fierce general under Xue Shao's seat...... Xue, Xue Chuyu!! A person next to him, his tongue and lips trembled, reminded Liu Yuan.
"Xue Chuyu?" Liu Yuan's eyes were straight, "Why haven't I heard of it?" β
"The frog at the bottom of the well, still don't surrender?!" Xue Chuyu shouted angrily, and Liu Yuan and the circle of doormen around him seemed to be pushed by an invisible big palm, and they took a few steps back neatly. Their ranks were not very neat, and as soon as the men and horses in front retreated without permission, the formation behind them was chaotic.
Thousands of people suddenly stirred and panicked.
"Up, up!" Liu Yuan was extremely frightened in his heart, and he strangled the horse's reins for fear that the horse would run away without obeying the call, and shouted in panic, "But two or three hundred people, I will wait for several times as many as them - kill them!" β
Liu Yuan was afraid that these hired customers would be disobedient, so he added loudly, "Kill one person, reward a hundred times!" Kill the one who made Fang Tian draw a halberd, and reward five hundred times! β
"Roarβ"
People die for money, let alone these green forest mercenaries who come for money? As soon as thousands of minions heard that there was a heavy reward, they suddenly became interested, and they all shook their spirits and were about to rush up.
Xue Chuyu snorted, "Five hundred? Xue is so cheap! β
Before the voice was finished, the horse was like a lightning bolt and a cunning dragon, and Xue Chuyu killed Liu Yuan alone!
The people around Xue Chuyu pointed the horse lance in his hand at a uniform slope of forty-five degrees to the ground, and the tip of the lance was as if it had been measured with a precise ruler, lined up in a straight and cold straight line.
Without the order to charge, they did not move!
"Click-"
A crisp slashing sound sounded, and a bloody wind blew in an instant, and I saw human heads and limbs flying wildly, and blood pouring down like a torrential rain in June.
One move!
With just one move, Fang Tian's halberd slashed and killed three doormen, and also cut off the neck of a horse!
After using one move, Xue Chuyu held up the bloody Fang Tian painting halberd and asked Liu Yuan, "But with this halberd, can Xue's worth be increased a little more?" β
All the doormen in front of him stepped back neatly, all of them white and trembling.
Liu Yuan felt weak and almost fell off the horse, "You, you...... Is it a human or a ghost?! β
β¦β¦
Xue Shao and Wu Ming walked between the alleys for a long time, but they didn't encounter a single pursuer. As a scout, Wu Ming was a little surprised, how could the path chosen by Xue Shao be so tricky?
The two rode horses and stopped outside the stone temple, which was the place where Xue Shao had met Xu Changqing that day. Wu Ming found that Niu Ben was raising a fire there and roasting a sheep.
"Hehe, Childe is here?" Niu Ben saw Xue Shao and smiled strangely, "The sheep is almost roasted!" β
"Very good." Xue Shao jumped off the horse, took out a long cylindrical object from his arms, stretched it in half with a twitch of his hand, and then looked inside with one eye.
"Childe, what is this?" Wu Ming was curious.
"Come and see." Xue Shao handed the thing to Wu Ming and said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, I'm just here to test the new toy I just made!" β
Wu Ming took the telescope curiously, and gestured several times before finding the right way to look over. Xue Shao stretched out his hand to help him help him with the right position, and Wu Ming exclaimed on the spot: "It's weird!" I actually saw Xue Chuyu fighting on the school field a few miles awayβjust in front of me! β
"This stuff is good, isn't it?" Xue Shao said with a smile, "Recently, if there is nothing to do, I made this monocular with the glass crystal obtained from the alchemy in the Taoist temple. If it is easy to use, it can be produced more in the future and equipped with generals and scouts. β
"Childe is really ingenious, this is really a good thing!" Wu Ming was amazed, "So, there are still binoculars?" β
"The binoculars are more complicated, and it will take some time to develop." Xue Shao sat down with a smile, and Niu Ben handed over a plate of cut mutton and amber freshly brewed fruit wine.
Wu Ming was very interested in the glasses, and kept playing with them, looking around.
"Master Wu, have a drink!" Xue Shao smiled, "Let's relax and celebrate!" β
"I'm happy to accompany you!" Wu Ming smiled slightly, "Gongzi Zhizhu is tightly arranged, Liu Yuan must be difficult to fly!" β
β¦β¦
The tens of thousands of people in Hongyun Castle, who had not known how to fight for a hundred years, were frightened enough because of this sudden battle. Fortunately, the battle didn't last long, whether it was the Liu family's family members, or the green forest thugs hired with money, in front of the elite jumping army and scouts, they were like stinky children whose hair had not yet grown, and they were simply vulnerable.
Especially after Guo An and others stormed the city gate and lowered the drawbridge, the Suizhou soldiers led by Wu Yanzhang, the assassin of Suizhou, attacked the fort, and the general of the Shuofang army, Ashina Zhongjie, led a thousand iron cavalry into the fort to help the battle, and the situation soon took an overwhelming reversal.
Liu Yuan was defeated, and he himself was even captured by Xue Chuyusheng, and was directly picked up by Fang Tian's halberd at the tip of the halberd, and was brought to Xue Shao with four feet in the air.
"I used a slaughtering knife to kill chickens." Xue Shaozheng was sitting comfortably eating meat and drinking, then got up and smiled, "I'm sorry, brother!" β
Xue Chuyu smiled happily, and Fang Tian's halberd shook slightly, breaking Liu Yuan's gorgeous mink coat and throwing him to the ground.
Liu Yuan seemed to be completely frightened, and he only knew that he was lying on the ground staring at Xue Shao with a pair of eyes in a daze, and his whole body trembled as if he was sifting chaff.
"Liu Yuan, a mere hereditary earl, dares to raise an army to rebel." Xue Shao stood in front of Liu Yuan with his hands on his hands and said, "What do you have to say now?" β
"Aren't they all forced by you?" Liu Yuan hated and feared, gritted his teeth and said, "If I don't do it, will you let me go?" Instead of dying, it's better to let go and pull people back! β
"You're right. If he hadn't done it, I'd have done it today. The only difference is that the aftermath will be a little more troublesome. Xue Shao said lightly.
"What enmity do I have against you, that you should kill you like this?" Liu Yuan knew that he was going to die, so he simply opened his courage and shouted angrily, "Didn't I just sell some grain and grass to Wu Yizong?" One is willing to buy and the other is willing to sell, which royal law has been violated by the two clears of money and goods? β
"I have no personal enmity with you. If you really want to calculate it, you can count each other as old friends. Xue Shao smiled slightly and said: "But if you are planning to do something in someone, your cancer will never be peaceful in Suizhou if you don't get rid of it." Tens of thousands of people in Hongyun Fort only know Liu Yuan and don't know the court and the Son of Heaven. As a feudal official who is the guardian of the heavens, how can I sit idly by and watch appeasement? β
"Excuses! It's all an excuse! You are clearly jealous of the prestige of my Liu family and threaten your authority! You still covet my thousands of acres of fertile land and thousands of family wealth, because you are now in dire need of military resources! Liu Yuan shouted, "I want to come to Xue Liu, the two families are both wealthy families in the world, and they often have dealings with each other. You are so black-hearted that you have done a dead hand to me! -- Aren't you afraid that you will not be able to repay thousands of enemies? β
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid." Xue Shao smiled disapprerovingly, "But, who will avenge a rebel thief with blood hatred, I'm afraid everyone will avoid it, right?" Do you believe that those of your clan will immediately openly criticize you in order to draw a line with you? β
"You!! ...... "Liu Yuan can't beat it, he can't say it, he can't beat it anymore, he loses more than scheming, and he can't speak on the spot.
"Now I can sue you that the biggest mistake you made was to focus only on my origin and origin, but ignore my current duties and missions. If there is no clear distinction between public and private, how can I be a feudal official, and how can I command an army of 100,000? Xue Shao sighed lightly and said, "Liu Yuan, you are obviously stupid!" β
"I think my Liu family's century-old wealthy family business was destroyed in an instant...... Xue Shao, you are so ruthless! After saying this, Liu Yuan was completely speechless. It's just that he stared at Xue Shao on all fours, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and anger.
"Looks like you can be a hell of a ghost." Xue Shao turned around and raised his hand slightly, "Send him on his way!" β
