Chapter 16: Opportunities (Part II)
Chapter 16: Opportunity (II)
With the scriptures that had been tampered with and degenerated, the spiritual heads of the believers of the true gods slowly began to recover. The long journey in wet weather was uncomfortable, but it seemed nothing compared to the upcoming gains. After all, at present, except for the vicinity of Quanzhou City, there are not many believers in the true gods in other places. And as long as the Zhu Butcher is defeated and the kingdom of heaven on earth is established, the wealth that originally belonged to Kafir can be divided among the believers of the true god at will.
In this world, there is probably nothing more exciting than getting something for nothing. There's nothing more exciting than just pulling someone else's wife and daughter away. Encouraged by greed and lust, believers in the true God are moving forward. Walking, walking, and before I knew it, the fog around me began to thin. Walking, walking, suddenly, the winter mist overhead cleared, and the golden sunlight shot straight down from the sky.
"It's sunny! God is blessing us! The one who pressed his hand to his chest cheered loudly. When the fog clears, the temperature is about to warm up, and the speed of the march can be greatly increased. If you try to persevere, everyone can rest comfortably in Huai'an City tonight.
"Over there, there are a few Kaffir Zhuangzi over there! I see, we're in Daejeon. That's the Lin Family Grange, which is the richest in this area! Another Seme Chiho Jinji also shouted excitedly.
More Thousands of Households and Hundreds of Households instigated their mounts, and without hesitation, they rushed down the official road and rushed to the village not far away. The Lin family in Fuzhou and the Lin family in Quanzhou are considered to be the same clan, and it stands to reason that they do not belong to the target of the Pu family's army. But knowing that the army was about to pass by, these Zhuangzi under the name of the Lin family did not take the initiative to drive the cattle and sheep, and came out with wine and food to treat the master. Such a contemptuous attitude, everyone must be severely punished!
"Stop, stop, stop me! That, that's my Lin family's land. Stop, stop! The Lin family's Zhuangzi is not an enemy! Stop, stop. What the hell are you going to do?! That Vanna, that Vanna, you just watch? Seeing this, Lin Zude, the second son-in-law of the Pu family, was so angry that his eyes were on fire. led his son and his guards to rush out of the ranks, roaring loudly while struggling to stop the Semu soldiers who were about to rush into the Zhuangzi to rob.
"They just go into the village to find food, and they don't slaughter the village. Lao Lin, you won't even be able to tell the difference between inside and outside! The head of the Pu family's army, the son-in-law of the head of the family, Na Wuna, pursed his lips, and responded in a strange manner. The men of the Pu family's generation have not grown up yet, and within five years, only a few other sons-in-law can pose a threat to his position as the head of the family. And Lin Zude, a fellow knowledge of Quanzhou who has been famous, happens to be one of them. Therefore, as long as there is an opportunity, even on the march, he does not forget to suppress this person.
"Good, good, you, you wait! You wait! You will be punished, sooner or later! "Being shielded and connived at by Na Na and allowing his subordinates to openly loot the Lin family's fellow sect was so angry that he couldn't bear it. The son-in-law of the Pu family, Lin Zude gritted his teeth and threatened a few words, and suddenly, he raised the horsewhip above his head, "The children of the Lin family listen to the order, go out of the ranks, and follow me to protect Zhuangzi!" β
After that, he didn't give Na Guna and the others any time to react at all, turned the horse's head, and galloped towards Zhuangzi.
"Protect Zhuangzi, protect Zhuangzi!" The other Lin clan's disciples also rushed out of the team one after another, rushing towards the village not far from the official road. Along the way, when he encountered a general who stopped to watch the movement, he did not hesitate to tear off his mount and kick into the mud puddle on the side of the road.
"Lin Zude, are you going to apostate?" Unexpectedly, Lin Zude, who usually tolerated himself in every way, actually turned his face against himself openly for the sake of his fellow sect in Fuzhou. In an instant, Na Na's heart was also ignited with anger, and he pressed his hand to his waist, and was about to draw his knife to strictly enforce military law.
At this moment, Great Elder Pu Shiren, who had been holding a wait-and-see attitude, suddenly grabbed his arm, "Wait, that Wuna, the situation is not right?!" β
"What's wrong, that guy was originally a true god who was converted halfway, and he wasn't religious at all!" Although the other party's surname is Pu, it is from a side branch of the Pu family. So the Ulna didn't care about the man's dissuasion.
"It's not right!" Great Elder Pu Shiren changed his previous posture of being in cahoots with Na Na, slapped the other party fiercely, and roared sharply. "Don't be busy fighting with Lin Zude first, the situation is not right. When did he become so bold? He, he and his sons, all ran into the Zhuangzi! β
"Huh?!" Na Na's arm ached, the two broom eyebrows wrinkled tightly into a pimple, and a pair of fluttering ears shook back and forth at the same time. The situation is indeed wrong, Lin Zude and his sons, nephews, and descendants are not so much rushing out to protect the Lin family's manor as taking the opportunity to escape from the brigade. Escape? Why did they run away? Now that they are deserters, when they return to Quanzhou, how can they be spared by the preacher and the elders of the Pu family?
The Lin family Zhuangzi, not far from the official road, quickly rose black smoke. The wild laughter of the generals and the weeping of the people drifted into the ears of the Na Urna with the black smoke. However, he ignored it. Concentrate all your hearing, and look behind the crying and wind, a low tremor.
It was the sound of a horse's hooves wrapped in cotton, slowly hitting the muddy ground. In an instant, all questions were answered. Na Urna quickly straightened up, drew his scimitar, and raised it high into the air, "Everyone, line up at once." With me as the core, there are large phalanxes on both sides of the official road. The convoy is outside, the people are inside! Pu Tong, you quickly lead the sword and shield soldiers to the north. Pu Tie, you quickly unload the whirlwind cannon and wind it. Pujin and Puli, you two lead the archers and line up behind the carriage. Ready to shoot the position, ready to shoot the position. Quick, fastββ! β
"What's the matter, my lord, what's wrong!" The children of the Pu family who were named couldn't figure out what was going on. One by one, they gathered around and asked with a face full of surprise.
"Array, array to meet the enemy, the other party is cavalry, right in, in the woods on the left side of the official road!" The Una didn't have time to explain to his group of fools, and roared hoarsely. Succumbing to his usual obscenity, the herald hurriedly grabbed a trumpet and blew it vigorously.
"Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo!" The disappointing sound of the horn spread from the middle army to the two wings with him as the core, accompanied by the angry shouts of Pu Tong, Pu Tie, Pu Jin and others, "Change formation, change formation, carriage, carriage for me to the left." Archers, archers hurry to wind. Knife and shield soldiers, sword and shield soldiers go to the middle of the carriage to block the gap. Whirlwind cannon, all of you hurry up and unload the car, you're all stupid, grandma! If you don't do it, everyone will all die here in a while! β
"Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo!" In the midst of the panicked horns, the believers of the true God pushed and shoved each other, lining up for battle. In a hurry, where can I react. Many believers couldn't even find their own generals, so they clutched a scimitar and stood on the ground and went back and forth. There are also some believers, at the urging of their own generals, running around like flies without their heads. Don't know where to stand, or who to point the tip of?
"Be louder, you haven't eaten!" Seeing that his team was slow and sweating profusely, Na Urna raised the back of his sword and attacked the heralds around him. "Woo-woo-woo-woo!" This time, the sound of the horn suddenly became high-pitched and powerful, and the believers who were in a hurry gradually recovered a little bit of their minds. However, it was too late, and a scarlet battle flag suddenly picked out in the woods less than six hundred paces away from them.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock!" The poignant suona sound instantly overwhelmed the high-pitched horn sound and became the only melody between heaven and earth. "Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock!" "Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock!" , Directly ahead, as well as on the right side of the official road, there is also a crisp suona sound correspondingly. In the Zhuangzi, which was originally smoking, dozens of color-eyed generals fled in panic like lost wild dogs. Behind them were Lin Zude and his sons, as well as the silver and bright, countless Huai'an soldiers. Everyone was wearing expensive wire vests, and in each person's hand, there was a musket that shone with a cold light.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Three thunderbolts sounded in mid-air, it was artillery bombardment, and the Huai'an army opened fire. The well-informed Navulna shuddered, and instinctively closed his eyes. However, no shells fell on his side, and there were no casualties among the chaotic ranks around him. The Huai'an army was communicating with each other with the sound of artillery, assigning tasks, adjusting formations, and transmitting messages. They are unhurried, methodical, and as precise and neat as the machines they build.
"Lin Zude, Lin Zude betrayed us! Lin Zude apostasy! The third elder, Tian Dingke, woke up like a dream, shouting in a hoarse voice. No wonder the father and son of the Lin family parted ways with everyone for a little thing, no wonder the father and son of the Lin family were not afraid of the Pu family's settlement after the autumn. There is no autumn queen, and after this battle, there will be no more Pu family in the world.
"Don't panic, don't panic, stabilize your mind, stabilize your mind, whoever is shouting, I'll kill him first!!" The Navulna, who discovered the truth, was also like an ice cave. The Pu family made their fortune by betraying others, and by betrayal and betrayal, they gained a firm foothold in Quanzhou. They have regarded betrayal and betrayal as part of the family inheritance, but they did not expect that one day, they will also be betrayed by others, and their corpses will soon become a stepping stone for others to soar!
"After a while, I will lead the people of the Yan family and the Tian family to resist the left flank, and you lead the others to rush forward!" At the critical moment, it was still the Great Elder Pu Shiren who calmed down, came to Na Wuna's side, and proposed in a very low voice. "The Yisi Ba Xi army has not sent any news back, it is impossible for them to be wiped out!"
If you are attacked on three sides, you will definitely not be able to hold it. If you retreat, it will easily cause the whole army to collapse, and you will be followed all the way into Quanzhou. Therefore, the only way out is not in the rear, but in the front. As long as they can safely break through the obstacles in front of them, go to join up with the left and right Yisi Baxi army, and then send warships to Huai'an to pick up people at all costs, most of the soldiers and horses of the Pu family will still have a chance to withdraw to Quanzhou.
"Good! Someday, I will avenge you! Thinking of the family's future, Na Urna nodded with red eyes. Just about to adjust the combat plan, he led the team to forcibly break through. Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound of war drums right ahead, "Knock knock, knock knock, knock"
Ahead, the ambush soldiers who were slowly gathering in one place quickly stopped and formed a formation. In the center of the military formation, there was a pole of wool raised high. On the flag, there are still a few big characters that have not had time to be replaced, "Fujian Xuanwei Division, Chen!" β
"It's Chen Youding!" Na Vana's body shook, and she almost fell headlong under her horse.
Chen Youding was surrounded and annihilated by the Huai'an army, which was an opportunity for the Pu family to send to the door. And the fall of the Pu family, for the Chen family, why not?!
