Chapter 80: Ambush
Early in the morning, the Chuzhou County Ya was crowded with the Lizheng of various villages and villages, and the Lizheng were all worried, their brows were tightly wrinkled, and their foreheads became a "Sichuan" character. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info I don't know where the robbers came from these days, first ransacked a village, and then almost killed a family with dozens of guards, if it weren't for someone doing business outside, this Liu family would probably be wiped out.
Liu Qiwan is the survivor of the Liu family, yesterday he went into the city to do business, because the matter was delayed, so he stayed in the city, I didn't expect that in just one day, the family suddenly had bad news, the whole family was almost killed, and the money was robbed, and the Liu family was finished.
Liu Qi cried profusely, the bags under his eyes were very prominent, if it weren't for his deep hatred, he would have died.
Everyone gathered in the hall, waiting for Yang Lian, the envoy of the Shuntian Festival, hoping that he could administer justice for everyone, after all, if this continues to make trouble, people will be panicked, and this day will not be able to live. After waiting for half a ring, just when everyone was talking, Yang Lian hurriedly came, he came from the barracks after receiving the news, and on the way here, he had already figured out what happened.
The strongman attacked Liujiazhuang at night, killed people when he saw them, and only young and beautiful women were lucky to not die, but what happened to them, without thinking too much, knew how miserable it would be. Yang Lian was very angry, where did these thieves come from? actually dared to make trouble on the boundary of Chuzhou, especially yesterday Yang Lian just ordered that all villages should take strict precautions, and this incident happened, this strongman committed crimes against the wind, and he was not taken seriously at all.
Yang Lian walked out of the hall quickly, and when everyone saw Yang Lian coming, they hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "I have seen Yang Jiedu in my humble position." ”
"You don't have to be polite." Yang Lian walked into the hall and stood at the front, his eyes swept over the crowd, seeing their worries. Yang Lian nodded and said, "Everyone, what happened last night, this section already knows, this group of strongmen is bold and hateful, and I have already encircled and suppressed them." ”
"Thank you Yang Jiedu." Several Li Zheng said.
Liu Qiwan walked out of the crowd, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Yang Jiedu, there are hundreds of people in the Liu family, they are dead, they are caught, and the rest of them who are lucky not to die are also injured." I also hope that Yang Jiedu will be the master of the small people. ”
Yang Lian stretched out his hand to help Liu Qi Twist, and said: "Everyone, this section is guarding one side, and naturally it is necessary to ensure the peace of one side, but now that the thieves are arrogant, this section will not be tolerated, and they must be cut off." ”
Li Zheng all nodded, since Yang Jiedu came to Haichu and Chu Prefectures, opened a warehouse to release grain, collected displaced people, distributed land, and did everything for the people, so everyone knew that Yang Jiedu would not let this thief make trouble.
However, the whereabouts of this group of thieves are unknown, and they do not know where they came from. For the time being, each village should first organize a group of people to patrol day and night, and at the same time strengthen the village's defense, heighten vigilance, and report to the police immediately if there is an unknown person. Yang Lian said that at present, in the case of uncertain whereabouts of thieves, it is natural to focus on prevention first.
Li Zheng all nodded their heads in support, and there was a humanitarian voice: "Yang Jiedu, this group of thieves is very arrogant, according to the humble opinion, it is necessary to arrest them as soon as possible, otherwise Chuzhou will not be peaceful." ”
Yang Lian nodded and said, "Don't worry, this section has already sent someone to check the whereabouts of the thieves, as long as there is news about them." They must all be caught. ”
The stones in the hearts of the Li Zheng people fell, and Yang Jiedu had the heart to catch the thief, so it would be the best. Yang Lian told him again that all villages must take strict precautions and increase vigilance. The Li Zheng all agreed, and then retreated, and Yang Lian stopped Liu Qiwan.
Yang Lian is going to go to Liujiazhuang to have a look, maybe there are any clues? Liu Qi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded in agreement.
Yang Lian brought more than 30 people, all of whom were henchmen and cavalry, plus Liu Qiwu, and the group went straight to Liujiazhuang.
Not long after Yang Lian set off, a fast horse galloped towards the northeast of Chuzhou City, at this time, Zhang Desheng and Wu Ergou were taking more than 100 people to ambush on the way to Liujiazhuang, the two discussed for a long time, and it was obviously not in the interests of everyone to attack Chuzhou City, after all, Chuzhou City was a strong city, so the two thought of a way to lead Yang Lian out of the city, so that things would be much easier, as long as Yang Lian went out of the city and managed to catch him, Chuzhou City would be a mess of porridge, at that time, The mountains of treasures in the city of Chuzhou are not left to their own devices?
Therefore, the two took the bandits and robbed several villages with a face, the purpose was to provoke Yang Lian, Zhang Desheng felt that Yang Lian was very likely to go out of the city, so the two arranged eyeliner in the city, and ambushed on the road that must be passed, waiting for Yang Lian to come.
Although Chuzhou is close to the frontier, in fact, except for the criss-crossing rivers, there is no danger to defend. But in the north of Chuzhou City, there are many dense forests, Zhang Desheng took people to ambush in the dense forests, looking out, he could faintly see people coming and going on the official road, Zhang Desheng pursed his lips, a little nervous.
He wasn't afraid, but he was worried that Yang Lian wouldn't come, Yang Lian wouldn't come, and the efforts he had made in the past few days would have been in vain, could it be true that he had to find a way to capture Chuzhou City? Although the Thirteen Families of Huaibei are very supportive, this idea is not wise at all, and outwitting is the best policy.
Wu Ergou squatted beside Zhang Desheng, biting a tender grass in his mouth, looking out from time to time, and said, "Brother Zhang, did you say that Yang Lian will come?" ”
Zhang Desheng clenched his fists, he believed that Yang Lian would already come, because this was his only chance, otherwise he would not be able to take revenge at all. "Ergou, he will definitely come, I'm waiting for him." Zhang Desheng gritted his teeth.
Wu Ergou didn't speak anymore, half lying at the foot of the tree, seizing the time to rest. As the sun rose, the air became hotter, and many people took off their shirts and wiped the sweat from their faces. Zhang Desheng was not tired, hatred made him energetic, and he looked out almost intently.
It was almost noon, a fast horse galloped over, and after this person went around in a circle, he entered the forest when people were not paying attention, and when he arrived at Zhang Desheng, he told him the news that Yang Lian had left the city and was rushing towards Liujiazhuang.
"Good!" Zhang Desheng looked very excited, he woke up Wu Ergou, who was sleeping on the side, and asked him to prepare.
When Yang Lian rushed towards Liujiazhuang with more than 30 people, he was also thinking that if these people were Huaibei thieves and entered Chuzhou on a large scale, it was impossible not to be discovered. However, no suspicious people were found at each checkpoint, which proves that a considerable number of these people are from Chuzhou, or the people who have just taken refuge in Chuzhou.
With so many people moving, it is impossible to have no clues at all, and only when clues are found can the black sheep be caught and the people be restored to peace. When Yang Lian was thinking, suddenly, Chen Tie in front of him stopped, pointed ahead, and said, "Yang Jiedu, look." ”
Yang Lian looked in the direction pointed by Chen Tie, and saw that near the forest near the official road in front of him, more than a dozen people were fighting, and beside this group of people, there were horses and carts, obviously, this was a group of traders who came to Chuzhou to trade, and met robbers on the way, so the two sides fought.
Yang Lian squinted his eyes and looked at it, Chen Tie was on the side, and said, "Yang Jiedu, save them?" ”
Yang Lian didn't rush to speak, but continued to look, and suddenly he laughed, nodded, and said, "Save, why don't you save?" As he spoke, he instructed Liu Qiwan to wait here and not to walk around
Chen Tie got the order and took the lead in killing it, the sound of horses' hooves, the group of thieves heard the sound, and they were a little panicked, after all, this group of cavalry who suddenly appeared were wearing armor, and they were obviously soldiers.
"Withdraw!" Some people shouted, and the robbers retreated and ran towards the dense forest, trying to rely on the dense forest to stop the group of cavalry.
"Where to go!" Chen Tie shouted and chased after him.
After running for more than a dozen steps, Chen Tie had already approached the vendor, and one of the vendors cried: "General, they took away the villain's money, and asked the general to catch them and get the money back for the villain." ”
"Don't worry." Chen Tie said, and rushed over with more than a dozen people, some cavalry fired bows and arrows one after another, and several robbers were shot and fell to the ground in wailing.
Yang Lian walked over slowly, staring at the battle situation, the robbers retreated without a fight, which made him a little strange, and even more strange to him, although Chuzhou said that it had not yet reached the point of leaving no stone unturned, but someone openly robbed it in broad daylight, which was too unbelievable. And since Yang Lian entered Chuzhou, there have not been many robberies, but there have been several cases in a row recently, how can it not be suspicious?
At this moment, Yang Lian suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and he shouted: "Chen Tie, poor Kou Mo chase!" ”
As soon as the words fell, several vendors rushed up together when there were not many people around Yang Lian, holding blades in their hands, shouting loudly, and the person led by them was Zhang Desheng. Zhang Desheng has seen Yang Lian, and now when he sees him, his eyes are on fire, and he is not afraid of death.
Zhu Qi, who was behind Yang Lian, saw that he didn't have time to draw his knife, so he had to shout and say, "Yang Jiedu, be careful." ”
As soon as the words fell, Yang Lian had already pulled out the long knife and slashed forward, the wind sounded, Zhang Desheng saw that Yang Lian's knife was strong and heavy, and couldn't help but be taken aback, Yang Lian's strength was too great, beyond his imagination, Zhang Desheng dodged Yang Lian's knife, looked back, and shouted loudly.
At this time, there were not many people around Yang Lian, only four or five people, and this was the best opportunity to kill him. Originally, Zhang Desheng planned to get close to Yang Lian before making a move, but unfortunately Yang Lian seemed to have discovered something, so he had to strike first.
Zhang Desheng shouted, the Zhang clan behind him fought hard to kill, at this time there was no way out, only to move forward, on the official road, suddenly there was a sound of killing, and the pedestrians who passed by avoided it, this year, even the officers and soldiers are not safe.
Yang Lian rode on the war horse, waved the long knife again and again, slashed left and right, and the two strongmen were cut by him, and immediately drenched in blood and retreated in embarrassment.
Chen Tie looked back and saw that he was about to return to help, suddenly, there was a bang sound in the dense forest, and bamboo arrows shot out. Although the dense bamboo arrows could not pierce the armor on the warrior's body, the armor could not wrap the soldier's whole body, and someone fell down with an arrow, letting out a miserable scream. Several people were grazed on their cheeks by bamboo arrows, and they were immediately drenched in blood.
"Kill!" In the dense forest, Wu Ergou saw that Zhang Desheng had already made a move, and after shooting this array of arrow feathers, he immediately led people to kill him, supported Zhang Desheng, and was sure to capture Yang Lian in a battle.
Chen Tie looked at the robbers who poured out of the dense forest, his face changed slightly, there were at least more than 100 of these strongmen, and it was so sudden that so many strongmen appeared here. He waved his blade, trying to kill it, but the war horse did not rush up, and the robber held a long bamboo spear and killed it, these bamboo spears were sharpened very sharp, and very tough, not easy to cut, the long knife cut on it, only left a trace, if it is unlucky, the long knife is stuck in the bamboo crack, it is difficult to pull out.
More than 30 people entangled Chen Tie, and the rest of the people flocked towards Yang Lian, capturing the thief and capturing the king first, Wu Ergou still understood this truth. In the chaotic battle, Yang Lian's long knife dance sounded, at this time, he finally understood that the purpose of the robbery in the past few days was for him, but he didn't know these people, why did he want to cause Yang Lian to die?
Zhu Qi and other soldiers also stepped forward and fought hard, and Liu Qiwu, who was not far away, was so frightened that he didn't know what to do for a while.
Zhang Desheng had a pair of red eyes, surrounded Yang Lian and fought desperately, several times he was almost cut by Yang Lian, and Yang Lian was almost cut by him.
Zhu Qi saw that there were more and more robbers, and shouted: "Yang Jiedu, you go first, and we will wait for Yang Jiedu to break off." ”
Yang Lian struggled to slash out, forcing the two of them back, glanced back at Liu Qiwu, and shouted, "Withdraw!" ”
Where is Zhang Desheng willing to let Yang Lian withdraw? Yang Lian rode a horse and ran fast, if he was allowed to escape, how could he catch up with these two legs? He also shouted again and again, leading the children of the Zhang family to surround Yang Lian and fight, and couldn't let his war horse run.
Both sides were fighting desperately, more and more people fell, the officers and men were better equipped, although they were suddenly ambushed and suffered losses, but they quickly reacted, losing four or five cavalrymen, and the remaining dozen were slightly wounded, but they could still fight.
However, although Zhang Desheng and others had an effect on the surprise attack, they did not have strong armor, and many people did not have war horses, so they suffered a lot in foot combat, but more people died, and more than 100 people have been reduced to nearly 20 people.
"Kill, kill him, reward ten gold, the beautiful woman of Chuzhou City will let him take it!" Zhang Desheng encouraged loudly. The Zhang clan listened, especially desperately fighting, a few people approached Yang Lian without fear of death, one was cut off his arm, one was stabbed in the face, screaming to the bottom, the rest of the people were suddenly a little afraid, this person is too powerful.
"A bunch of waste, what are you afraid of?" Zhang Desheng shouted and cursed, he glanced at Yang Lian coldly, and pounced desperately.
Yang Lian shouted, the long knife in his hand was split, the blades of the two intersected, the sound of the soldiers resounded in his ears, the arms of both of them trembled slightly, Yang Lian's situation was a little bit, he had an advantage on the horse, his arm was just sore, but Zhang Desheng was covering the tiger's mouth, just now this knife, he suffered a lot of losses, and the tiger's mouth was cracked.
But at this time, how can it be possible to retreat? Zhang Desheng shouted and pounced again. (To be continued.) )
