Chapter 44: A Great Victory!
"Look for death!" Jia Wei shouted, a cold light flashed in his eyes, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and before the few shouting thieves and soldiers could react, they saw a light and shadow approaching, followed by a few cold lights shuttling, and the head was pulled up, and scarlet blood splashed all over the ground.
"Humph!" Jia Wei snorted coldly and said, "Dirt chickens and dogs, Ande is rampant? ”
With that, he inserted the blood-stained long sword into the scabbard, took the bow, and shot the arrow, accompanied by the sound of swishing through the air, and the twenty or thirty thieves who were rushing towards Jia Wei and them in the distance fell to the ground three or four.
The main components of these thieves were mostly tenants of the common people coerced by Xu Sheng, and a small number of elites composed of family members, rangers, and Shanyue were also pulled by the king of Yue to attack the county seat of Shanyin and set the foundation of the king of Dayue.
Moreover, the number of arrows shot by Jia Wei was not random and random, it was shot by people with relatively gorgeous clothes and relatively complete armor, and these people were often grassroots officers of an army.
Yes, where have these thieves who fought all the way to the wind seen such a fierce general as Jia Wei, and how could they have encountered such a bloody scene, and those few small officers who usually act as powerful have also died, one by one they are frightened, and after screaming a few times, they turned around and ran.
Although Jia Wei had expected that this army formed by Xu Xu against the homeless people would definitely be negligent in training, and he was afraid that it was just a group of "guerrillas", but it was so vulnerable that Jia Wei was a little surprised, but on the battlefield, "the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again", but it does not allow people to reverie too much.
So, Jia Wei immediately made a plan in his heart, first shot a few more arrows, killed a few soldiers who led the most happy run, and then shouted: "Surrender and don't kill, surrender and don't kill!" ”
The cavalry who came after Jia Wei also immediately shouted in understanding: "Surrender and don't kill!" Surrender or kill! Surrender without killing ......"
The group of thieves fleeing in front heard the shouting behind them, and some of the cowardly and slow runners hurriedly threw away their weapons, and then squatted on the ground tremblingly; But there are also some smart people who run faster, this Yangzhou is remote, the empire's law and discipline are relaxed, what kind of birds do these soldiers usually look like, don't they know? I'm afraid that I want to "kill the good and take the risk", thinking of this leg, I have a little bit of strength in vain.
"Captain, why don't you let me go and kill again. Those thieves are just on foot, and the last general will chase them on horseback, and they will be killed without leaving a piece of armor! ”
With the sound, a young general in full armor came out from Jia Wei's side, hugged Jia Wei's fist, and wanted to fight on the horse.
This young general is not very old, and his facial features are also ordinary, his name is Liu Wei, and he is a member of the Lou Sangting family, and he is still Liu Hong's cousin and nephew, and he loves to play with guns and sticks on weekdays, so he was recruited into the team when Liu Hong convened the township party to think that he was a part, because he could ride a horse, he followed Jia Wei to do things, which also had Liu Hong's cultivation of it.
Jia Wei looked at Liu Wei's eyes, especially the bloodshot at the corners of his eyes, and secretly said in his heart: "It's so murderous!" But this was not the time to reprimand him, so his eyes widened, and he shouted angrily: "Nonsense! Is this the place where you are brave in battle? ”
After that, Jia Wei no longer paid attention to Liu Wei, turned his horse forward, came to the side of a thief who was squatting on the ground and surrendered, and asked in a deep voice: "You look up, I will ask you, the thief will Xu Ming's tent is there." ”
The thief was worried in his heart, and after listening to Jia Wei's question, he raised his head and looked in the direction of Jia Wei's finger, and then nodded hurriedly: "The general is right, that's the direction." ”
After questioning, confirming the news heard by the scouts, Jia Wei turned his head and said loudly to the cavalry behind him: "Gentlemen, follow me into the camp to capture the thief!" ”
Under an order, twenty horsemen moved in unison, although the number was small, but after a while, the horses came up quickly, and the dust was flying, but it was extraordinary, and it was unstoppable by hundreds of people!
Twenty people formed a cone-shaped formation to kill Xu Ming's camp tent straight, and the four hundred and eighty foot soldiers also rushed to the gate of the camp at this time, first lined up to open the formation, leaving a part to guard the gate of the village, and the rest of the people formed a formation to fight in the direction of Jia Wei's departure, along the way or kicked the burning copper plate, or shouted "surrender or not kill", for a time all kinds of chaotic sounds were intertwined, this big camp was like chaos!
And when Xu Ming was awakened by the sound of fighting, it was already too late, he had just climbed down from the collapse of the jade body, changed his clothes, and didn't even have time to put on his armor, when he heard the sound of "Dada" horses' hooves coming from far and near.
"Bitter!" Xu Ming sighed in his heart, he didn't even know what was going on at the moment, he was about to become a prisoner of the subordinates, he was really confused, and secretly hated that he was too majestic last night, causing him to sleep groggily today, otherwise he would have run away now, where would he have fallen into such an embarrassing realm.
But the matter has come to this, it is useless to think too much, and it is important to preserve the useful body at the moment, and I am sure that the king will understand my distress.
Thinking of this, Xu Ming shouted, "The criminal minister Xu Ming greets the heavenly soldiers, please be careful of the arrows!" On the other hand, he raised his hands above his head and slowly walked out of the tent.
"You are the thief Xu Ming?" Jia Wei looked Xu Ming up and down and asked.
Xu Ming first shook his head, and then hurriedly said before Jia Wei's face turned pale: "The last general, no, the villain is Xu Ming, but he is not a traitor. It's not a secret, the villain is coercing the thief for the traitor, and he really hopes that the king will stay for a long time. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Ming actually shed tears emotionally.
Jia Wei tilted his head and instructed the cavalry beside him: "Go, grab one and come over to correct whether this thief is that Xu Ming." ”
The cavalry got the order, and after a while, he caught a thief, and the thief looked at Xu Ming and hurriedly said: "If you know the general, this is our general." ”
After getting the confirmation, Jia Wei smiled, looked at Xu Mingdao, and said, "Since I have been looking forward to the king for a long time, why did you come down today?" ”
"This-" Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, and his tears didn't fall, but he raised his head and glanced at Jia Wei lightly, seeing that he looked like he was smiling and not smiling, his heart was excited, and he didn't know where he came from, so he hurriedly said: "Although there is a lowering of the heart, Gai Weiwei's heavenly soldiers are so fast!" ”
"Oh, I'm to blame for that." Jia Wei had a sudden expression.
"Don't dare, don't dare." Xu Ming said with a smile, looking flattering.
"Humph!" Jia Wei snorted, and almost fell off his horse by Xu Ming's shameless laughter, and he had no interest in playing this thief, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Come, tie up this clever man for me." ”
Then three or five cavalrymen dismounted, took out the hemp rope and tied Xu Ming with a big tie, Xu Ming didn't dare to take advantage of his tongue anymore, just squeezed out a bitter flattering expression, which was really funny to watch.
After tying Xu Ming to the horse, Jia Wei led the cavalry to the rear of the foot soldiers to meet and go, at this time the thief has been captured, although the overall situation is decided, when it is necessary to restore order as soon as possible, stabilize the endgame, and report the victory to the lord, the lord must be in a hurry.
Thinking of this, Jia Wei smiled knowingly.
……
At four o'clock in the afternoon, that is, twelve o'clock in the morning of the twenty-four hour system in the future, the day is hollow, bringing some warm light and heat to this harsh winter, Liu Hong sits in the corner tower, fully armored, but holds the scroll in his hand and reads quietly, as in the past, the ancient waves are not alarmed, perfectly concealing the turbulence under its calm appearance.
This battle is not only about the safety of Yan County and Huaiyin, but also about the overall situation of Yangzhou to quell the chaos! And it also carries its own ambitions and ambitions!
If this is defeated, then it will be this year to join forces with all the national soldiers to destroy Xu Rebellious, and it will only be the spring of next year at the latest. At that time, with such great achievements, he first started from the state and county, and then re-promoted to the center, which was a smooth and successful thing, and at that time he had the authority in hand, and he could practice his ambition of "carrying out reforms, continuing the king's life, and leveling the prosperity of Xia to peace".
Liu Hong, who started from the bottom of the society, knows that under the surface of the imperial fire, it is already the foundation of decay and will be broken: frequent disasters and famines, mergers and acquisitions, the wine and meat ponds of the powerful family regard money as dung, and the small people at the bottom are difficult to find food and accumulate grievances.
If this battle is lost, then everything will be stopped, even if there is a comeback, I am afraid that it will be a sixtieth century, ancient and rare, and it will be old, what can it be?
If this thousand sorrows are put on ordinary people, even if they are not crazy, they are afraid that they will already sit on pins and needles, and it will be difficult to restrain themselves, but Liu Hong can't move, he is the respect of a county, if he moves, this county is afraid that people will be panicked, and at this time, the most important thing is stability and harmony.
But the doubts and ominousness in his heart kept bewitching Liu Hong, because the time was not early, why there was no news yet, and the book in his hand had not moved for a long time.
"Report!" The voice suddenly remembered.
Liu Hong's hands trembled, and then said in a deep voice: "Come in!" ”
Then when the young general came in, Liu Hong glanced at him indifferently and said, "What's the report?" ”
The young general knelt on one knee, hugged a fist with both hands, and then said: "Back to Ming Gong, there is a horse galloping towards my county outside the city, and it looks like my sergeant." ”
"Oh?" Liu Hong slowly put down the book and said, "I'll go out and have a look." ”
Saying that, he got up and left the bookcase, and under the leadership of this young general, he came to the lookout of the city tower, and at this time, the cavalry gradually approached, and when he came to the city gate, Liu Hong squinted slightly, but he was still an acquaintance, it was his cheap cousin Liu Wei.
So Liu Hong asked, "Liu Wei, is Gongyan good?" What is this victory? ”
When Liu Wei heard Liu Hong's question, he raised his neck and said loudly: "Uncle, the captain is fine; This battle was a big victory, there were no casualties, and the thief Xu Ming was captured alive! ”
Hearing this, the hanging heart in Liu Hong's heart finally let go, but the right fist was clenched extremely tightly at some point.
"Gongyan, Junguo lives up to me!"
