After the Taiping Army Mingjin collected the troops, they counted the soldiers and horses, and lost as many as 7,000 soldiers and horses, and even folded the brave general Zeng Sheng, and the whole camp was filled with a sense of heaviness. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In Beihai City, Taishou Kong Rong was overjoyed when he heard that he had won a great victory in defending the city today, and immediately set up a banquet in the mansion to celebrate the achievements of Zong Ze Tai Shi Ci and other righteous people.

After three rounds of drinking, Kong Rong put down his wine glass, looked at Tai Shici with a smile and asked, "Ziyi, you came all the way from Donglai, do you know what the situation is outside?" ”

Tai Shi Ci had just arrived in Beihai today, when Yang Xiuqing gathered the main force to storm the east gate of Beihai, and the other three gates were empty, and Tai Shi Ci entered the city from the west gate without hindrance. The Beihai Kingdom is located in the hinterland of Qingzhou, after Hong Xiuquan raised troops, most of the counties in Qingzhou responded, and the Beihai Kingdom was surrounded by enemies, and since then it has lost contact with the outside world.

Hearing Kong Rong's question, Tai Shici replied: "Envoy Qi, when a certain family set off from Donglai County, I heard that General Mu Gaochang of Jizhou had sent troops to Qingzhou, and his front Le Yi burned 50,000 Taiping troops in Feihuyu, but I don't know much about what happened after that!" ”

"The Hussar General is here?" Kong Rong said in surprise, "The hussar general killed Karasuma, broke Dong Zhuo, and his record was outstanding, and with him coming in person, the end of Hong Xiuquan, a traitor, is just around the corner." ”

Zong Ze said calmly: "My lord, although the hussar general has arrived, but the Beihai country is surrounded by rebel forces, and the news is blocked, according to the following, we should send a messenger to ask the general for help!" ”

Kong Rong nodded and said, "What Ru Lin said is extremely true, but Taiping Road is besieging the city on all sides, and it is not easy to kill and ask for help?" ”

Tai Shici immediately got up and said: "Don't panic, don't be talented, I would like to get a letter from you, and take advantage of the night to go out of the city to ask the hussar general for help." “

Kong Rong was overjoyed and said, "Then please Ziyi!" “

He immediately ordered the left and right pen and ink to wait, but he finished writing the letter in a moment, handed it to Tai Shici and said: "Ziyi, the lives of the 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Beihai City will be handed over to you!" “

Tai Shici took the letter and said in a deep voice: "Without further ado, let's go out of the city in the next place!" “

Kong Rong arched his hand and said: "Then please Ziyi, Rong has nothing to help you, two years ago, the emperor rewarded me with a horse, so give it to Ziyi!" “

After that, he turned around and instructed left and right: "Go and bring the 'red blood' given by the first emperor." “

However, after a while, a few subordinates brought in a BMW that was eight feet tall and covered in red sweat.

The horse is the second life of the general, as soon as Tai Shi Ci saw this good horse, his eyes immediately lit up, and he couldn't put it down and touched the mane of the horse.

Kong Rong laughed and said: "BMW gives heroes, Ziyi, I hope this horse can help you gallop on the battlefield and become famous!" ”

Tai Shi Ci thanked and said, "Thank you, Lord for the reward!" ”

Immediately said goodbye to everyone in the hall, carried dry food and coils, rode the red blood given by Kong Rong, and went straight out of the west gate, all the way to the east.

It was early spring, when it was warm and cold, when the breeze was light, and everything was recovering.

Tai Shi Ci carried the letter, all the way non-stop, running for more than ten miles, just in time for a patrol of soldiers and horses, I wanted to dodge but unexpectedly the patrol captain was sharp-eyed, at a glance saw Tai Shi Ci who was single-handed, and immediately led the troops to stop Tai Shi Ci, and asked, "Who is it?" Dismount quickly! ”

Tai Shi Ci saw that his whereabouts were exposed, and he didn't answer at the moment, secretly took out his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at the captain, who was not on guard, was shot in the throat by an arrow, and fell off his horse and died.

Tai Shi Ci shot the leading lieutenant with an arrow, quickly abandoned his bow and gun, and took advantage of the chaos of the patrol post to stab a few pawns who blocked the road, and took the road to the east.

"Oh no, there's a fine work!"

The patrol soldiers who came to their senses hurriedly raised the fire as a signal, and Shi Wengong, the general in charge of the patrol, immediately rushed over with a hundred and ten personal soldiers, carefully watched the corpse of the captain, and immediately shouted: "This guy should be the thief who shot my apprentice in the city today, it must be Kong Rong who already knew that Gao Chang sent troops to Qingzhou, so he sent this guy to ask for help, all the soldiers, quickly follow me to chase and kill that guy, you must not let that guy go!" ”

After that, he put down his war horse and led hundreds of elites to chase in the direction pointed by the patrol horse.

Tai Shi Ci rushed out of the encirclement, thinking that his traces had been discovered, for fear that the Taiping army would block him on the main road, so he did not dare to take the main road, and rode his horse to the forest road.

It's just that Tai Shi Ci is a person from Donglai, and he is not very familiar with the geographical environment of the Beihai area, plus it was dark, Tai Shi Ci walked around the trail twice and actually lost the road, and struggled to wander on this intestinal mountain road for three or four hours, and it was not until the next morning that he found the right direction.

Along the trail for more than an hour, but saw the dust behind him, hundreds of horsemen galloped over, the first one was holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, with a longbow hanging from his legs, and an arrow bag behind his back, who was not Shi Wengong.

Shi Wengong saw Tai Shici from afar, his heart was overjoyed, and he shouted: "The thief is leaving, and I will return my life in vain!" ”

Tai Shi Ci snorted coldly, although he didn't know who the apprentice in Shi Wengong's mouth was, but looking at Shi Wengong's outfit, he must be a general among thieves, and immediately stepped forward, and stabbed Shi Wengong with a spear in his hand.

As soon as the connoisseur made a move, Shi Wengong saw that Tai Shi Ci's shot was stabbed quickly and ruthlessly, and knew that he had encountered an opponent, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand blocked Tai Shi Ci's shot, and immediately shouted: "Brothers, kill me, take the head of this guy, and reward a thousand gold!" ”

Behind him, one hundred and ten soldiers shouted in unison, each wielding a knife and shooting at Tai Shici.

"Shameless!" Tai Shi Ci shouted angrily, "You thief is so shameless, don't you dare to fight alone with a certain family?" ”

Shi Wengong sneered, "In the battlefield confrontation, the winner is the king and the loser is the villain, a certain family has the advantage, why should I fight with you alone?" “

Tai Shi Ci was furious but didn't know how to refute it, so he ignored Shi Wengong and concentrated on dealing with the soldiers who rushed forward.

Shi Wengong quietly blended in the crowd, secretly took out a longbow, drew a bow and arrows, and quietly aimed at Tai Shici, who was struggling to kill.

"If you shoot my disciple, I will return you an arrow today to avenge my disciple!"

Whoosh -

As soon as Shi Wengong let go, the arrow from the string carried the sound of the wind, and shot at Tai Shi Ci's face.

Tai Shi Ci has been immersed in bows and arrows for many years, and as soon as he heard the sound, he knew that there was a hidden arrow coming, but he was entangled by those soldiers, and he was unable to move, although he tried his best to dodge, he was still shot through the armor by an arrow, hitting the collarbone.

Tai Shi Ci was already exhausted from a night's journey, and when he was shot by a cold arrow, the powerful strength immediately pulled him off his horse.

Shi Wengong was overjoyed when he saw Tai Shi Ci fall off the horse, and immediately stepped forward to take Tai Shi Ci's life.
