Chapter 51: Flying Immortal Pass (4)
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden shout in the city. The shouts were heard far away in the silent valley, and then the sound of people barking and dogs barking was a mess. Chen Youfu didn't feel sleepy at all, he got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his buttocks, and then put the spear upright on the ground, and said softly: "All of them, stand up!" Armed! ”
The soldiers of the first squad stood up together with the order of the squad leader. Chen Youfu saw Wang Sanniu waving the big knife in his hand at him, meaning that they were ready, so he looked around at his subordinates and said word by word: "Everyone remembers the words of the prince, who made us unable to live?" It's a thief, it's a corrupt official! If we want to live, we must kill all the thieves and corrupt officials! To hell with them all! ”
The cold wind of the winter night blew across the valley, but it could not cool everyone's blood. This group of slaves, who were once unclothed and hungry and cold, finally opened their fangs to his intended target under Zhu Pingjian's careful training and organization.
"The sound of horses' hooves!" Lao Tan lowered his voice and said.
"Attention, all of you, keep the assassination stance!" Chen Youfu left foot in front and right foot behind, lungeed sideways, held the spear firmly in his hand, "Listen to my command, and stab together." Prepare ......"
The gates of the city were opened with a bang, and several black shadows rushed out with the crisp sound of horses' hooves. Chen Youfu's eyes were firmly fixed on the rapidly approaching black shadow, and at the moment when the black shadow was about to collide with the rejected horse, Chen Youfu shouted: "Kill! ”
Twelve spears and bamboo guns, accompanied by twelve earth-shattering "killing" sounds, stabbed out at the same time! The sharp spear head effortlessly pierced into the horse and the human body, and then quickly pulled back, leaving behind the neighing of the horse's hoofs and the screaming and wailing of the human body!
"There's an ambush ahead!" The black shadow behind exclaimed, but it was too late. If you want to restrain a horse running at high speed, in addition to fast reaction, you need superb horse control skills. The shadow behind clearly does not have this technology. A black shadow slammed directly into the rejection horse, causing the rejection horse to flip over a heel fight, and also caused the rider to fly over the rejection horse, and before he could land, a spear had pierced his stomach and strung him on the barrel of the gun. Another black shadow grabbed the horse's head in time before rejecting the horse, but before he could turn around, the sound of killing on both sides rang out at the same time, stabbing several spearheads, and piercing several bloody wounds on his chest and back. The pain contorted his face, and as he struggled, he grabbed a bamboo spear in his chest with one hand and tried to sever it with the other. But before he could raise his knife, four bamboo spears were deeply pierced into his back. His body tugged and writhed in a few bamboo spears, and his throat let out a terrifying howl. However, another spear slammed into him, ending all his efforts.
"And one fell off his horse and ran! Rush into the city and chase it! Chen Youfu shouted as he pulled his spear from the corpse with his hands and feet.
Chen Youfuban rushed into the city gate cave, and the fleeing person was nowhere to be seen. Chen Youfu judged that most of this person had gone up to the city tower, so he ordered Lao Wen to guard the city gate, and he and Lao Tan went up to the city tower to search.
There was a burst of "Those who put down their swords and guns will not die!" ". Chen Youfu took advantage of the situation to let the soldiers shout with him: "You can't run away!" Those who lay down their swords and guns will not die! ”
An old voice cowered in the castle tower: "King! King! I'm dropping! I'm dropping! You have to count when you talk! ”
Chen Youfu roared: "Come out quickly, we will count!" ”
Out of the castle tower came a lewd old army. When Chen Youfu saw it, he shouted: "This is just the official army who lit the lantern just now!" And one more, split into two sides to search! ”
At this moment, there was a fluttering sound under the city, and then Wang Sanniu was heard laughing in the dark: "I'll catch a live one!" ”
After the Feixian guard Peng Yuanke fled with his family, the battle at the inn was actually over. The officers and soldiers who were abandoned by the commander quickly lost the will to continue fighting, and they all shouted and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. He Youyi's face was bloody, the tip of the knife in his hand trembled, and he looked for Peng Yuanke among the captives.
"Where is Peng Yuanke?" He Youyi pointed at a captive with the tip of his knife and asked.
"I don't know, I ......" Before the captive's words were finished, He Youyi's knife flashed, and a human head fell to the ground.
"Come!" The tip of the knife pointed at the captive next to the corpse. The collapsed, headless corpse was not yet stiff, it was bleeding and convulsing.
The captives next to him were already frightened silly. His whole body trembled, and under the threat of the blade, he said intermittently: "Peng...... ...... of Dog Day Run...... Run! ”
Luo Jingyun saw He Youyi's scary appearance, walked over from the side and said, "Mr. He, Peng Yuanke ran away with a few family members. However, there is Chen Youfu at the gate of the city, they are blocked, and they can't escape! Now we have to quickly occupy the whole city, and we also have to take the yamen and contact Chen Youfu and them. ”
He Youyi paused his feet and said, "I'm confused!" Okay, you take a few people to treat the wounded. I'm going to take down the yamen with Da Niu! ”
Wang Daniu is checking on his fourth brother's injuries. Wang Siniu's lower left rib was poked by a spear, and his body was red, as if he couldn't survive. Luo Jingyun came over to help cut Si Niu's clothes, examined the wound, and found that the head of the spear had only poked past the side of the ribs, leaving a deep blood groove. It looks scary, but it doesn't hurt the bones and internal organs. Luo Jingyun said to Wang Daniu: "Platoon leader, Mr. He is waiting for you." Siniu, you leave it to me, but I am still the medical officer of the caravan. ”
Wang Daniu nodded with red eyes, raised a big knife, greeted the brothers, and Hulala followed He Youyi to the yamen.
Zhu Pingjin led the team back to Feixian Pass, and it was already noon on the third day that He Youyi and they took Feixian Pass. When he went to Tianquan, there were only about fifty people in the palace guards plus Gao Antai's entourage. When he came back, because of the addition of the 700-day Tusi infantry cavalry led by Gao Antai and Xu Hanqing, the team became mighty, dragging two or three miles back and forth on the winding narrow mountain road.
Zhu Pingjin walked at the front of the team surrounded by guards, and the gate of Feixian Pass could already be clearly seen. I saw two riders galloping out of the city gate and running towards Zhu Pingjin. When Ben got closer, Zhu Pingjin saw clearly that it was He Youyi and Luo Jingyun, so he stepped forward.
He Youyi and Luo Jingyun ran in front of Zhu Pingjin and dismounted. He Youyi said: "The last general has already taken all the Feixian Pass. killed Peng Yuanke, the deputy envoy of the Inspection Department, Ning Sen, committed suicide by jumping into the well. We killed or captured the rest of the officers and soldiers, and all of them were packed up, and none of them ran away. Just ......"
At this time, He Youyi saw Gao Antai coming right away, so he hesitated.
Zhu Pingjin saw some clues, he raised his hand and said to He Youyi: "Let's go, let's talk in the pass!" He turned to Gao Antai and said, "Mr. Gao, we have taken down the Feixian Pass." The city is narrow and can't accommodate so many soldiers, so why don't Mr. Gao accompany the son of the world into the city, and General Xu will temporarily station outside the gate with soldiers and horses? ”
According to Zhu Pingjin's previous promise, Feixian Pass will become the territory of the Gao family. When Gao Antai heard that he had won the Feixian Pass, he immediately rubbed his hands excitedly and agreed, and instructed his entourage to inform Xu Hanqing.
Zhu Pingjin and his entourage entered Feixian Pass, and were directly led by He Youyi and Luo Jingyun to the Yamen of Baihu, where Wang Daniu and Chen Youfu were waiting at the Yamen. The pattern of the hundred households is not large, only two entrances before and after. It's just that behind the east and west wings of the outer courtyard, two rows of cells were built to hold those passing merchants who refused to pay. There was still a man inside, half frozen to death.
Zhu Pingjin walked into the main hall, sat down on the circle chair in the middle, and smiled and gave He Youyi, Gao Antai, Song Zhensi and others to sit, Wang Daniu, Luo Jingyun and Chen Youfu were too low in level and could only stand. He first said that he had worked hard, and then asked He Youyi about the situation last night.
He Youyi left his seat and knelt down: "The last general is careless!" I wanted to attack Feixian Pass at night, but I was attacked by Peng Yuanke's gang first! It all depends on General Luo's vigilance, so there is no big mistake! ”
Gao Antai and Song Zhensi were shocked when they heard this, and both of them stood up from their seats. Zhu Pingjin pressed his hand and said: "Since you have captured Guancheng, it is a success." Mr. He doesn't have to blame himself too much, please tell me about last night's battle slowly. ”
Seeing that He Youyi was still kneeling in the lobby, Zhu Pingjin motioned to Cao Sanbao to help him up. He Youyi recounted with a look of regret how they decided to divide their troops, how they passed through the gate, how they waited at the inn, how the sentry fell asleep, how Luo Jingyun called the police, how he guarded the gate, how Chen Youfu ambushed Peng Yuanke at the city gate, and so on. At the end, he said: "After Chen Youfu killed Peng Yuanke and others at the city gate, a family member ran to the city wall and jumped over the wall to escape, and was caught by Wang Sanniu who was waiting below. The last general interrogated the housekeeper, and he was very happy. When we passed through the gate, Peng Yuanke's bastard peeked through the crack in the wall of the wooden house, he had seen the last general the day before, and knew that the last general was the person next to you. Later, Peng Yuanke knew that we had entered the inn that Mr. Gao had opened well, so he concluded that we would definitely attack the yamen at night, and the sneak attack time was mostly before dawn. So he and Ning Sen gathered the family members, soldiers, and inspectors in the inspection department, and only left an old soldier at the head of the city to make a appearance. He plans to attack us in the middle of the night in advance, kill us all, and then give you a death without proof. We had three sentry posts, one archer on the roof, and two in the courtyard. As a result, all three fell asleep. The officers and soldiers first climbed over the wall to enter a man, killed a sentry, and prepared to open the gate to meet the brigade outside. Peng Yuanke was very cunning, and when he heard the snoring on the porch, he immediately knew that we were all awake. But he didn't expect us to rush out and occupy the door so soon. When he saw that there were many of us, he knew that he could not take advantage of us, so he prepared to flee to Yazhou for refuge first. The family confessed that Peng Yuanke's nest was in Yazhou, and the money he had looted over the years was hidden in his own home, except for some of the money that had been given to Ruan Shiqi of thousands of households. The last general searched the two yamen, and found only about 30 gold cars, more than 2,000 silver cars, and a small amount of jade and copper coins. Nan Ningsen has only been in office for less than three months, and he listens to Peng Yuanke in everything. ”
Zhu Pingjin asked, "What's the matter with those three sentinels?" ”
He Youyi was ashamed and said, "The three sentinels are asleep. One was killed by an officer who came in over the wall; the other was shot before we could rush out; Another began to fall asleep, and during the fight, he hid in the firewood room in fear of death. Later, the general asked the reason, and beheaded him for the crime of retreating! The last general later thought that the sentry was negligent, and the last general was also negligent! First, a secret sentry should be left near Peng Yuanke's yamen, so that you can call the police in advance if something happens. Second, the soldiers walked all morning in the mountains, and they were prone to sleepiness at night. Squad Leader Chen and they laid an ambush outside the city, using the method of taking turns to guard in groups of two, each group for two quarters of an hour, and then changing to a group, and as a result, no sentries dozed off......"
After listening to He Youyi's recital, Zhu Pingjin nodded. He Youyi's post-mortem analysis is in place, which shows that he has seriously reflected. It's just that Zhu Pingjin didn't want to talk about He Youyi's merits and demerits now, so he asked directly: "What is the casualty situation between the enemy and us?" ”
"Together with Peng Yuanke and Ning Sen, we killed thirteen of them and captured nineteen alive. We lost five dead, three seriously wounded, and eleven lightly wounded. Of the five who died, three were sentry. One was stabbed to death by a spear during the battle for the gate; And a ......"
Gao Antai heard that the cruel fights told by He Youyi took place in the inn he was good at, and he already felt bad in his heart. Now that he saw Wang Daniu, Luo Jingyun and others all looking at him with their eyes, but they didn't say who the deceased was, they understood in their hearts. In order not to lose his temper in front of the prince and everyone, he tried his best to choke back his tears and not let it flow out, but just stood up and bowed his hand to Zhu Pingjin. Hearing the prince sigh and say that Mr. Gao could take care of himself, Gao Antai turned around and left the yamen and rushed towards the place where his lover was resting.
