Chapter 167: Zhang Daqiang's evil concubine
When they just heard the sound of these steady horses' hooves, the defectors were eighteen officers of Lu Zhen's army and thirty of their cronies, and they thought that the people who came were Lin Yimu and others, but as the distance between the other party slowly shortened, and the sound of horses' hooves in their ears became clearer and clearer, they found that something was wrong!
First of all, there is something wrong with the number of people!
According to common sense, Lin Yimu has many family members, especially the eight concubines he loves, it is impossible for him not to bring them, so in terms of the number of people he brings alone, judging from the sound of the horse's hooves, it is obviously much less!
Moreover, according to their usual understanding of Lin Yimu, this person is definitely the first to rush to the first place, and he is the best to eat and drink;
However, when he really needs to do things, he doesn't have the prestige of having fun, only when he is asked to do things, or when he is in trouble, listen to the opinions of those who are brothers, otherwise it is useless for anyone to persuade him, even the brother's concubine dares to rob!
Lin Yimu is such a person, will he still be as smooth as the sound of horses' hooves at this critical juncture, and not say anything along the way?
You must know that Lin Yimu on weekdays, as long as he is assigned to be on duty at night, he will always complain along the way, and after cutting corners to complete the task, he will run to the Drunken Immortal Building to be happy, but it will not be as stable and quiet as now......
Lin Yimu's fox friends and dog friends can be regarded as knowing his character, but this time, they have all benefited from the Xiang family;
As long as the matter is completed, the glorious and wealthy life they want will definitely be easy to get with the support of the financially strong Xiang family!
Therefore, because of their misjudgment when they saw the money this time, Lin Yimu's conspiracy succeeded, and they were all deceived into the tiger's mouth of the chasing soldiers!
It was because they underestimated the strength of the ghost soldiers of the chasing soldiers, that is, the Dongzhen Mansion, that they fell into a place of no return!
Wu Qiling, who was walking in the rugged darkness of the road with the new members of the ghost soldier team, after a short period of time on the rice field road, the sparse sound of horses' hooves was heard not far ahead, and he was sure that there must be a situation ahead.

Subsequently, Wu Qiling ordered all the people to speed up, and considering that it was now dark night, the road was still rough, and the road ahead was unfathomable;
Wu Qiling thought that he couldn't blindly accelerate in pursuit of a small loss because of a small loss, and at the same time he had to raise the speed, he had to ensure that the team members would not be ambushed and suffer as many unnecessary casualties as possible, so he ordered in a low voice, all staff were on guard, and the neatness of the team must be ensured!
As the team moved forward, the sparse sound of horses' hooves and noise that Wu Qiling could hear in the dark flickered far and near, and finally disappeared!
The speed of the whole team has not slowed down, but there is no sound of horses' hooves in front of him, Wu Qiling's first thought is that someone in front of him is hiding nearby, or he is in an ambush, but now the formation of his team members is not chaotic, so just be vigilant!
The members of the ghost soldier team who followed Wu Qiling also smelled a sense of urgency from Wu Qiling, who took the lead, although they only got along for a short period of three months, but under the pressure of the huge amount of training, they still formed a certain tacit understanding!
They felt that Wu Qiling's figure on the horse was gradually lowering, and their eyes were quickening the frequency of looking around, and the team members behind them clearly knew that there was a hidden threat, and they were getting closer and closer!
December in the south is the coldest month of the year except for January and February.
The prime minister of Mongolia chose this time to lead an army of more than 400,000 to attack the city, presumably taking into account the weather in the south, and planned to exterminate Zhang Shicheng's hundreds of thousands of rebel troops in the most difficult cold weather, as well as the rebel army in Gaoyou City and the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces with it as the central point!
In the winter in the south, although there is no heavy snow in the north, it is very cold, but it is very wet, and the closer to the north of the Yellow River, the colder the weather, and the more difficult it is to repel the Mongol army first!
Rushing on the Mitian Road, which is the closest to the north of the Yellow River in Gaoyou City, as the night gets deeper and deeper, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the speed of his Wu Qiling and the others on their horses is getting faster and faster, and the cold wind blowing on their faces is getting stronger and stronger......
Wu Qiling, who rushed to the front of the team, of course didn't care about the cold wind cutting across his thick face like a sword, in the years when he joined the assassination team, after being honed in Dadu, Zhongshu Province, Mongolia, Northern Europe and other cold places all year round, no one would care about the ruthlessness of the cold wind anymore.
The new members of the Ghost Soldiers team who followed him were not cowardly, even if the cold wind that blew in the skyless night cut blood marks on their faces, blowing their blood-colored lips purple.
Even so, the fire in their hearts that is pursued by the defector and cannot be extinguished by any external factor makes it impossible for them to give up the pursuit, and it is impossible for the defector to easily achieve their goal!
As long as anyone who has some understanding of the defensive situation of Gaoyou City is clear, after experiencing the three-day battle with the Mongol army:
In addition to the east and west gates, because of the assistance of more than 200 new and old members of the ghost army, the Mongolian cavalry and infantry did not even cross the fortifications outside the moat.
The north gate and the south gate of Gaoyou City, that is, the two city gates guarded by Pan Yuanming, Zhou Yan and others, because the weather conditions have been too bad in recent days, the old weapons in the hands of the soldiers are very dull in this winter bloody battlefield, and even in Pan Yuanming's military camp, there are some scrawny soldiers, who even have no power to pick up the big sword, long sword or other heavy weapons in their hands, and they have become the target of the Mongolian cavalry's archery after going up to the fortifications, without any power to parry.
In this analysis, it seems that the defectors had already contacted the Mongols before the operation, and as long as the civil strife in Gaoyou City came together, the Mongol army outside would attack the city desperately, and then wait for the rebels to arrive, and then they would come back to join forces......
"We must not let them succeed!"
Thinking about this in his mind, Wu Qiling said this sentence resolutely, and almost at the same time, there seemed to be a low but mournful voice on the side of the road they were walking, mixed with atmospheric gasps.
Before Wu Qiling's words fell, he grabbed his crotch and was running frantically on the jujube red horse, it seemed to understand Wu Qiling's thoughts, and its neck was strangled fiercely by this, and it did not neigh through the sky like other horses, but walked a few steps forward, and then stopped peacefully.
More than a dozen new members of the ghost soldier team who followed behind Wu Qiling also stopped more than ten meters away from him, and after seeing Wu Qiling's right arm raised, they resolutely turned over and jumped, and got off the horse, and when their feet were in contact with the ground, there was no sound at all!
The well-trained movements and overall ability of the members of the Ghost Soldier Team made the eighteen defectors and their families and cronies who were hiding in the bushes and trying to get a glimmer of life very frightened, and their hearts, which were already unstable, were even more panicked when the members of the Ghost Soldiers looked into the bushes with sharp eyes.
The relationship between Zhang Daqiang and Lin Yimu has always been very ordinary, because in the barracks, as long as people who have been mixed for a few years know Lin Yimu's personality, except for Wu Shicheng's walking dog, he no longer has any outstanding achievements and achievements.
Lin Yimu's "good name" will also be well known among the middle-level management officers in the army, and if it were not for money and beauty, promotion and wealth, as long as they have a hard foundation, they would not want to be with him, but Zhang Daqiang was born in the reckless, and he had to be with him to get rich and promoted.
In times of war, when thieves and robbers crisscrossed the north and south, and rebel armies sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, it is not impossible for a person without any background or significant talent or martial arts to shine in his military career, and they must first learn to be tactful!
Zhang Daqiang was bullied and scared by the poverty of life, and he didn't want to live a life of hardship and oppression.
Therefore, after Zhang Daqiang joined the army, on the one hand, in every war against the Mongol troops, he must have been the first to charge, holding sharp broadswords and long swords to fight to the death with the Mongols or the Semu people and the pseudo-army;
On the other hand, Zhang Daqiang after the next battlefield is a different person, he is no longer so fierce and brave, he is no longer like a stunned young man rushing to the front, he can actually be sleek, he can actually compromise;
Zhang Daqiang, a peasant from a poor background, also did flattering things, and he did no worse than the people in the city, the dignitaries and nobles;
And what was even more unexpected to his comrades-in-arms at the same time was that Zhang Daqiang actually helped Wu Shicheng, Tan Zhen and others to do those unseemly deeds, colluding with the black Taoists, and helping them to loot the people's fat and ointment, which is the most common thing, but he, an honest farmer, actually did the things of killing people and setting fires and robbing people's daughters for his own interests, which is unacceptable.
But the persuasion of others and relatives did not resist Zhang Daqiang's increasingly ferocious and irritable, and at the same time, they did not block his way to promotion and wealth!
After Zhang Daqiang, who was full of interests, enjoyed the glory and wealth brought by the trend of inflammation, he immersed himself in the sheng flute wine every day, hugged left and right, and brought it to the family one by one, after marrying five concubines, and at the same time, the five daughters of Pingkang, who were born in poverty, actually poisoned his original ration to death in the same way as Zhang Daqiang!
