readx; Although Huang Degong is as hot as fire and has a lot of courage, since he met Weng Yu, he has been influenced by this Confucian general, and he is a little calmer than in the past. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info: Before the battle was fought just now, he noticed a large area of dense woods to the west of Chai Wangcheng Village. At this time, he gathered all the villagers to move them to the woods.

The reason is also very simple: the officers and soldiers killed the thieves here, and although they cavalry could walk away, these ordinary people were miserable. After Li Wanqing got the news, he would lead troops to retaliate, and with the usual style of thieves, he was likely to slaughter these ordinary people to vent his anger, which would be equivalent to Huang Degong killing the entire village.

Therefore, Huang Degong ordered everyone to leave all their belongings, only wear thicker clothes as much as possible, bring a few days' rations, and then allocate a part of the cavalry to escort the common people to the depths of the dense forest to take refuge. However, he himself led the rest of the people to run south, ran for more than a mile, and then turned back to Chai Wang City.

The cavalry was inexplicable, and Huang Degong ordered all of them to form a column and retreat towards the dense forest. The last few people in line took a few large brooms from the homes of ordinary people and carefully swept away the horseshoe prints in the snow.

It was only at this time that everyone suddenly realized: it turned out that Huang Degong deliberately created the illusion of retreating south to lure the thieves to chase him, but in fact he was hiding in the dense forest. However, they still felt puzzled: since they had already hidden the people, they could withdraw to the Zhulong Bridge, why did they stay here and not leave? But since the Lord had given the order, no one dared to ask more.

After about an hour, I heard the neighing of horses from the north, and countless torches flickered incessantly in the night, apparently a large army of thieves coming. Huang Degong immediately roared: "All the silence is silenced, and also tell the people that the thieves are coming, your own children, don't cry!" ”

In fact, there is no need for him to tell them, the villagers all know that it will be over if the thieves find out, and none of them dare to speak out. In a short time, a large number of thieves had already surrounded Chai Wang City and rushed in shouting. After a while, the fire rose, and it was obvious that the thieves could not find anyone, so they set fire to the houses of the common people to vent their anger. The villagers wept silently when they saw their homes destroyed, and the cavalry also stared at each other with hatred and clenched their fists. Huang Degong was unmoved, holding his breath and observing carefully.

After a short while, the large army of thieves began to pursue southward. At this time, the sky had begun to be numb, and Huang Degong's rough army had at least 5,000 troops, and all of them were cavalry. The officers and soldiers couldn't help but gasp, thinking that they were caught up by thieves on the way to retreat.

After a long time, the army of thieves gradually moved away. Just as the officers and soldiers were thinking about whether to choose another way to retreat to the Zhulong Bridge, Huang Degong ordered in a low voice: "Don't move!" Yes, there are a few who have been left behind! ”

Everyone looked at each other, and there were three people and three horsemen who had just slowly walked out of the burning village, probably taking advantage of the chaos to pull their belongings just now. Huang Degong immediately turned over on the horse, hung the double whip on the bird's wing ring, took off the horn stiff bow from his back, and gently knocked the yellow hussar's belly. The horse understood, and began to slowly move closer to the three men.

It was still not very dawn, and the horses walked slowly in the snow, almost silently, and the men were so elated that they did not notice that danger was approaching. Less than seventy paces away, Huang Degong opened his bow like a full moon, and with a slight aim, the sharp arrow was off the string, as fast as a meteor, and he shot at one of the mounts with a slam on the ground, deeply embedded in it.

The war horse neighed in severe pain, and with a stumble, the man in the saddle was lifted. The other two were taken aback, and before they could figure out what was going on, Huang Degong's second arrow arrived again. This time, an arrow pierced through the horse's brain, and the war horse immediately fell to the ground, crushing the person below.

The rest of the horse just turned the horse and ran, but it was too late, Huang Degong's yellow horse had already begun to gallop, and in the blink of an eye, the distance was shortened to more than twenty steps. Huang Degong shot a third arrow from his horse, hitting the man in the back of the heart. Although the man was wearing armor, the force of the arrow was so strong that it pierced through the iron leaf and nailed it into the back of the back. The man slumped in pain and fell off his horse.

The feud is not a party, Sun Xuemo is too lonely

At this time, Huang Degong beckoned his subordinates to come over and captured the three thieves alive. The reason why he fought alone just now was because he was afraid that his subordinates' arrows would not be accurate.

The purpose of the arrest is naturally interrogation. These three people are also sparse and soft, and they will make a move, and it turns out that it was Li Wanqing who led the elite soldiers under his command to take revenge just now. Li Wanqing originally wanted to preserve his strength, but he didn't expect his clan brother to be killed, and he heard from the people who fled back that the number of officers and soldiers was only more than 100, and there were no firearms such as birds, so he suddenly became murderous, and wanted to use the absolute superiority of the army to eat this group of officers and troops, and let out the evil anger in his chest.

"How many people are there under Li Wanqing? How many people did you bring just now? Huang Degong asked sharply.

"Now there are about 10,000 people, and about 7,000 can fight, and they all chased south with the big boss just now..."

"Where is the old camp?"

"In the female... Nüshan Lake Town..."

"In what direction is Nüshanhu Town?"

"Thirty miles due north..."

"How many troops are left to guard the old camp?"

"Not much, maybe four or five hundred..."

"Haha, God help me!"

Huang Degong laughed a few times, ordered the three unlucky thieves to be cut down immediately, and then roared on the horse: "Brothers, now there is a great opportunity for meritorious service, let's take advantage of the fact that the thieves have not returned, and go to end their nest!" ”

When the cavalry heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, thinking that our deputy Qianhu lord really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall! There are seven or eight thousand people in the old camp, even if most of them are women and children, there are still four or five hundred people who can fight, and there are only one hundred and fifty horsemen in the official army.

Huang Degongren hesitated, glared at him and said, "What are you afraid of!" The thieves are in the light, we are in the dark, if you can sneak attack, you will sneak attack, if you can't sneak attack, you will withdraw, will I Huang Degong let you die in vain! If you don't dare to go, Lao Tzu won't force it, just stay here. But after a while, the army of thieves will come back, and Lao Tzu will not have the time to care about you. Be yourselves! ”

The cavalry thought about it, and now that they were behind the thieves, it was hard to say whether they could return to Zhulong Bridge alive without Huang Degong, the main general. On the contrary, I followed the Lord, and my heart was more steady. Therefore, they finally responded in unison: "We are willing to follow the Thousand Households to make meritorious contributions!" ”

"Good! Don't talk nonsense, pull out! Before Huang Degong's words fell, he rushed out to the north first.
