Chapter 58: A Man (Happy Chinese New Year's Eve)
In the textbook, it is described that after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the Haiyan River is clear and enjoys peace...... In fact, it is simply a whitewash of peace, sheep and wolves cannot be peaceful, prey and hunters will not give up the battle, barbarism covets the wealth of civilization all the time, and almost every year there are Liao cavalry who go south to fight the grass valley.

It's just that this time it's a little strange, it stands to reason that the Liao State will generally go south to hit the grass valley after the autumn, because at this time the north has been harvested, the grain is returned to the warehouse, and the people hide in their warm homes, waiting for the New Year. At this time, the people are the most stocked time, now that the winter has passed, seeing through the warm flowers, the people's grain storage consumption is mostly half, and the pig and sheep food is also eaten up during the New Year.
Go south to loot, what to rob? Lantern Festival? Or glutinous rice balls?
Wang Ningan was puzzled: "Dad, it can't be mistaken, right?" ”
"No!"
Wang Liangjing said categorically: "Although Liaogou is a little strange, I believe in Gangzi, they will not be mistaken." ”
"That's strange, the Liao people won't do loss-making business, they-won't be to avenge those five people, right?" Wang Ning'an remembered the several Khitan warriors who were killed by his father and their joint efforts.
It's just for the sake of five lives, it's still wrong!
"No matter what it is for, since you have joined the army, you can't be afraid of Liao Dog!"
Wang Liangjing put on a set of silver shiny step armor, which he bought from Bao Heizi after spending a hundred times, with a long sword and iron spear, indescribable heroism.
"You stay at home, take care of your mother, and your younger brothers and sisters, and I'll go to the yamen."
"Don't!" Wang Ningan really wanted to see how powerful the Liao soldiers were, and they could suppress the Great Song Dynasty so much that they couldn't lift their heads.
"Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers. It's a big deal that I'm watching the game from behind, and I can't be afraid of the battle. ”
Wang Ningan also found a set of leather armor as he spoke, got a short sword, and followed his father out of the house.
As soon as they reached the street, they heard the sound of gongs and drums, and the servants of the yamen ran down the street.
"Your Excellency ordered, the people cleaned the streets, they were not allowed to go any more, and they went home quickly!"
They shouted at the top of their voices, sweating profusely.
"It's Dong Tou, how's it going?"
Wang Ningan grabbed Dong Ping and asked anxiously.
"Erlang, Wang Dutou!" Dong Ping hurriedly said: "My lord has already gone to the city, and I heard that Liaogou is less than twenty miles away from Cangzhou. ”
Wang Ning'an and Wang Liangjing glanced at each other, hurriedly threw off their big strides, and ran towards the city. Along the way, Cangzhou City was like a great enemy, and all the officers took to the streets to maintain order.
The army in the city had already moved and poured into the city.
Cangzhou is on the front line of the fight against the Liao State, the mobilization ability of the people is very strong, plus Bao Zheng has a legal arrangement and a good dispatch, the chaos in the city gradually subsided, and everyone held their breath and waited for the arrival of the Liao people.
The father and son of the Wang family arrived at the head of the city and saluted Bao Zheng, but Bao Heizi looked at the outside of the city and didn't say anything. Wang Ningan saw that his fists were clenched, and it seemed that Master Bao was not as calm as he looked.
Everyone who can go to the city came, including Zhu Tong, who was dismissed, he also brought a few family members, and he seemed more nervous than Bao Heizi, he leaned out of the battlement, stretched his neck and looked, very anxious.
Wang Ningan just swept around, and then focused his attention on the outside of the city.
The city wall of Cangzhou is two feet and five feet high, and the soldiers in the city are not small, it stands to reason that if the Liao State does not send large-scale men and horses, it should not be able to take it down, but even if he has the bottom in his heart, Wang Ningan's palms still break out in a cold sweat.
He secretly reproached himself for his cowardice, and suddenly a black figure the size of an ant appeared in the distance, and they ran quickly, and their shouts were carried into the city by the wind.
"It's the people of the Great Song Dynasty!"
Gongsun Ce let out a low breath, and everyone's eyes swept away from the city.
There were about twenty or thirty people, and they were in tatters, and they were running for their lives. As we got closer and closer to the walls, the shouts were heard.
"Open the gates and let us in."
"Open the gates!"
Gongsun Ce hurriedly looked at Bao Zheng, "My lord! ”
Bao Heizi raised his right arm, as long as he gave an order, he would open the city gate, but Bao Zheng's hand couldn't let go...... In the distance, a whirlwind of cavalry appeared.
"It's Liaogou!"
Someone exclaimed.
The soldiers at the head of the city were immediately alert, and Wang Ningan also felt his heart shrink suddenly.
The cavalry was extremely fast, in the shape of a fan, and carried the fleeing people in the middle. They brandished their scimitars on their horses and laughed wildly, without any scruples.
"Open the gates, let us in!"
"Please, sir!"
"Master Qingtian, if you don't open the door again, we'll be finished!"
The people's cries for help are like cuckoos crying blood, which makes people shudder. Bao Zheng's body shook suddenly, his eyes tightened suddenly, he tried to raise his neck, looking at the sky, he didn't want his tears to flow - he was a parent official in Cangzhou, and outside the city were his people, he should be rescued.
But what about the city?
And there are tens of thousands of people in the city!
If the city gate is opened and the Liao dog comes in, what should so many people do?
Bao Zheng closed his eyes in pain and said in a low voice: "Close the city gate tightly and guard it tightly." ”
No sooner had he given his order than suddenly a young woman ran out of the crowd, and she was rolling and crawling, waving desperately to the wall.
"Daddy, Daddy, save me!"
The woman tripped after running two steps, crawled in a puddle of muddy water, embarrassed, and in despair stretched out her arms and cried out, "Help me, Daddy!" ”
……
"It's Xiu'er!"
Zhu Tong at the head of the city suddenly exposed his green muscles and jumped like thunder.
"Xiu'er, don't be afraid, Dad will save you! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! ”
He turned back sharply, and was about to go down to the city to open the door.
"Stop!"
Wang Chao and Ma Han blocked his way, and Zhu Tong's eyes were red.
"Get out of here!"
"Don't go!" The two of them said in unison: "Your Excellency has an order, close the city gates!" ”
"Adult fart!" Zhu Tong took a sip fiercely, pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and pulled out the saber at once.
"You two get out of the way for me, who dares to stand in the way of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu chopped him!"
Wang Ningan stood next to him and saw it clearly, he always thought that Zhu Tong was a scumbag, and now he didn't want to change his opinion, but not every scumbag would be a scumbag to the end. At least Zhu Tong behaved like a good father at this time!
"Zhu Tong, you can't come nonsense, what should the people of Cangzhou City do?"
"Lao Tzu's daughter is gone, what's the use of Cangzhou City!"
Zhu Tong looked crazy, brandishing his waist knife, "Count three, if you don't get out of the way, Lao Tzu will kill!" ”
Wang Dynasty and Ma Han were very embarrassed, they could only hold their waist knives, the orders of the adults could not be disobeyed, Cangzhou City could not be lost, and the city must not be opened......
When it was about to start, Bao Zheng's voice suddenly came.
"Let him out!"
Wang Dynasty Mahan was stunned for a moment, hurriedly put away his knife, and got out of the way. Zhu Tong was also stunned, he suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Lord Bao, great kindness, Zhu Tong will repay in the next life." ”
didn't wait for Zhu Tong to go down to the city, Bao Zheng suddenly said again: "Slow, go down in a basket!" ”
Zhu Tong seems to have been hit by lightning, but he still can't open the city gate, take a basket out of the city, what should he do with his war horse? If you save someone, where do you flee?
There was only a flash of thought in his mind, and the cry outside the city turned into a scream, and a group of Liao soldiers had already begun to kill.
Zhu Tong stomped his foot violently, he touched a handful of tears, turned his head and rushed to the battlement.
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu took a few people to carry the rope and slowly put Zhu Tong down, and there were still five or six feet away from the city, so Zhu Tong jumped over. Stepping on the ice of the moat, he rushed to the knights of the Liao Kingdom.
Lonely and lonely, he was the only one.
Zhu Tong saw two dirty Liao dogs pounce on his daughter, and Zhu Tong only felt that his chest was about to explode.
He raised his knife high and shouted: "The commander of Cangzhou in the Great Song Dynasty is here, and Liao Dog will be killed!" ”
This was the last sentence he left in the world, Zhu Tong rushed towards the Liao soldiers like crazy, an arrow pierced his shoulder, his body paused, continued to rush forward, was hit by an arrow in the leg, rolled on the ground, and went forward without hesitation.
He didn't seem to know the pain, let the Liao dog leave wounds on his body one by one, and finally he rushed to his daughter, the Liao soldier on the opposite side pierced Zhu Tong's chest with a spear, Zhu Tong used his last strength to throw the knife in his hand and stab it into the throat of the other party......
