Chapter Ninety-Five: The Battle of Ghost Fan Tower

Li Cheng, the double sword general who took down Bianliang, was extremely depressed and didn't know where to go. The banner of Du Chong's rebellion against the Song Dynasty had just been lit up, and Li Chengcheng received an order from Zong Ze to return to the army and attack Bianliang directly. Although Du Chong left tens of thousands of rebels in Bianliang City, Sun Wang and Sun Qing were responsible for defending the city. It's a pity that these two militia leaders didn't fight a real battle at all, and when Li Cheng's army approached the city of Bianliang, Sun Wang and Sun Qing actually opened the door and surrendered directly.

Just when Li Cheng was about to make persistent efforts and lead the army to copy Du Chong's back road, he received Zhao Gou's holy decree. Zhao Gou praised Li Cheng's skills in the holy decree and encouraged Li Cheng to serve the country and share his worries for the monarch. But the most important thing is to order Li Cheng to stand still, and after Du Chong's hundreds of thousands of troops have smashed Ying Tianfu, Li Chengcheng can lead the army straight in and capture Du Chong Yue Fei's two thieves.

Although Li Cheng knew that the People's Army and the imperial court had a slight disagreement, he did not expect that it would reach the point of incompatibility. Now Ying Tianfu is being attacked from three sides, and it seems that it is a situation of destruction. Although Li Cheng was captured by Yue Feisheng, outside the city, Yue Fei returned the knife on a moonlit night, and the two had already become friends. Whether in public or private, Li Cheng will not watch the destruction of the Protector Army.

Li Cheng had the idea of being the king, although he was bewitched by the demon Tao Tao Zisi, but it also showed that Li Cheng's loyalty to the monarch was extremely weak. Just when Li Cheng was about to resist the order and disobey the order and send troops to Bianliang, he was stopped by a handwritten letter from Zong Ze. Zong Ze ordered Li Cheng not to rescue Ying Tianfu in a handwritten letter.

Li Cheng didn't take Zhao Gou in his eyes, but he didn't dare to disobey Zong Ze's order. When Li Cheng received the letter, he was a little disappointed with Zong Ze. Because he didn't expect Zong Ze to put his most proud student to death for the sake of an emperor who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River and an emperor who abandoned the people of the Central Plains.

Disappointment to disappointment, Li Cheng still obeyed Zong Ze's warrant, stationed the army in the city, and only sent scouts like a stream to inquire about Yingtian's military situation. Standing at the head of Bianliang City every day, looking in the direction of Yingtianfu, Li Chengdu would feel that he was an ungrateful person.

"Du Chong's army was blocked under Taikang City, and repeated attacks were fruitless. The Golden Sword King died in battle. Du Chong's army was blocked under the city of Qixian and could not advance an inch. Du Chong's army was trapped in the west of Chenzhou City, and was in a dilemma. ”

As the scouts sent back such information day by day, Li Chengcai had a real understanding of the strength of the corresponding Tianfu. No wonder the imperial court regarded the Protector Army as a thorn in the side, and no wonder even the commander had to borrow a knife to kill people. Although Du Chong's army can be said to be a rabble, after all, there are hundreds of thousands of troops, and there are more than ten more than ten fierce bandits, who have also attacked cities and plundered land, and passed through the state, but now they are blocked by tens of thousands of militia in Yingtianfu. Wang Shandu, the golden sword who crossed the border of the Liao and Song dynasties, was killed in the battle at the head of Taikang City, and it can be imagined that the battle was fierce.

What method did Yue Fei use, but in most of the year, he not only trained tens of thousands of elites no less than Jin soldiers, but also trained such a strong militia division.

Wait until Dong Xianhua crosses the river like jade, and under Li Cheng's nose, he leads 15,000 cavalry to bypass Bianliang City. Li Cheng immediately understood that Du Chong was finished. The hundreds of thousands of troops could not even penetrate the militia division, and they were even more vulnerable in front of Dong Xian's brigade of cavalry.

Sure enough, in the next two days, the information from the scouts was that Du Chong's entire army was dispersed, hundreds of thousands of bandit troops surrendered to the Protector Army, tens of thousands, and tens of thousands turned back to Bianliang, but the vast majority of the Protector Army collapsed to the Jianghuai area.

Li Chengzheng admired the combat power of the People's Protector Army in his heart, but received a shocking news. Yue Fei was outside Caozhou City, with 2,000 fine horses, and killed and repelled 50,000 iron horsemen of Yan Zongbi. This news was told by Ji Qian herself.

Ji Qian and Wang Gang led an army of five hundred backs, and on the third day of Yue Fei's coma, they rushed to Bianliang City. Li Cheng was not afraid that Ji Qian Wang Gang was coming to seize the city, so he immediately opened the door and welcomed the Beiwei army in.

Without waiting for Li Cheng to speak, Ji Qian opened her mouth and asked, "General Li, where is Fan Lou?" ”

"Fan Lou?" Li Cheng didn't expect Ji Qian to ask this. "General Mo Feiji came to Bianliang, just to go to Fanlou to drink? Ha ha. ”

"I'm not here to drink, I'm here to drink blood." Ji Qian said coldly.

Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that Ji Qian Wang Gang and the five hundred Beiwei troops were all murderous, not like drunkards at all. "General Ji, General Wang, this Fan Lou is the first restaurant in Bianliang, and it is quite implicated with the nobles of the court. Are you really here to get along with Fan Lou? ”

Wang Gang sneered, "Chaozhong Xungui is a fart!" It's the old one with the Son of Heaven, and this time we are going to destroy this ghost Fan Tower. Since they dare to assassinate Yue Shuai, they will have to bear the wrath of our Protector Army! ”

Seeing that Li Cheng was confused, Ji Qian no longer concealed it, and immediately told Li Cheng about Yue Fei's assassination.

Li Cheng never expected that the most famous restaurant in Bianliang would be the largest murderous camp on the rivers and lakes. I didn't expect Fan Lou's killer to dare to be so bold and dare to assassinate a 10,000-strong enemy like Yue Fei before the ten thousand armies.

"What a ghost Fan Tower!" Li Cheng shouted, "I didn't expect that in Bianliang City, there is still a powerful place!" General Ji, General Wang, since the Ghost Fan Tower is so powerful, I'm afraid that your five hundred elites are not enough. I will send you another thousand soldiers. ”

When Ji Qian, Wang Gang, and Li Cheng arrived outside the gate of Defan Tower, it was in the afternoon. Even in the troubled times when all industries are withering, Fan Lou is still doing thriving. Each floor of the seven-storey Fan Tower was filled with guests, and the sound of singing and dancing resounded through half of the city, making the refugees and ordinary soldiers in the city envy and curse at the same time.

Of course, compared with the prosperous era, there is still a little difference. Before Jingkang, most of the guests in Fanlou were literati and high-ranking officials. Nowadays, most of the drinkers in the building are long and strong martial artists, long and strong businessmen, and long and strong outsiders.

Yes, the people who can drink in Fanlou now are all long and strong. The weak rich have long become ghosts under the sword. Nowadays, most of the people who can keep their wealth in troubled times are strong beams.

It's a pity that these strong beams met a group of evil stars today.

Jiqian Wang Gang Li Cheng led 1,500 elite soldiers to Defan Tower, and without saying a word, he went straight inside. Several doormen stepped forward to stop them, but Ji Qian raised their iron shovels, one by one, and broke their left legs, while complaining.

Some of the guests in the building knew Li Cheng, and immediately greeted him with a loud voice. It's a pity that Li Cheng didn't speak with a cold face. This scared the drinkers. Although they are strong beams, they also understand that in front of so many elite soldiers, no matter how powerful they are, they will only be turned into pulp.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant came to everyone early, and said with a smile while bowing his hands, "General Li's arrival in Fanlou really made Fanlou shine. However, General Li, our shop is small, but we can't accommodate so many military masters to eat and drink. Also, the little eyes are clumsy, I don't know who the names of these two generals are? ”

Ji Qian scolded, "So much nonsense! He stretched out his right hand, grabbed the shopkeeper's neck, and lifted the shopkeeper up. Where are your owners? ”

"What are you going to do? Alas, the general spared his life, and the owner was in the private room on the third floor. ”

Ji Qian threw the shopkeeper aside and ordered loudly, "The sergeants stay on the first floor for the time being, and no one is allowed to leave." Those who leave without permission will be killed. Wang Gang, take thirty backs, and follow me straight to the third floor. ”

Under the frightened eyes of the drinkers, Ji Qian Wang Gang Li Cheng led thirty back-to-back soldiers along the wooden staircase, and the wind rushed up to the third floor. It's a pity that when I got to the third floor, I found that the private room on the third floor was empty.

Wang Gang's eyes flickered, he looked at the facilities in the house, and knocked on the four huge wooden pillars with his hands. Knock on the third pillar and make a hollow sound. Wang Gang smiled, "The master is right. Sure enough, the pillar was empty. ”

Li Wei is a veteran of the rivers and lakes, he quickly found the location of the mechanism in the house, and pressed the phoenix eye on the screen with his hand, and the third wooden pillar immediately cracked, revealing an iron cable inside.

Wang Gang was holding a steel knife in one hand and an iron cable in the other, and was about to fly down, but was stopped by Li Cheng. "General Ji, General Wang, the organs on the third floor definitely lead to the first floor. Why don't we cut down the pillars on the first floor and lead a large group of soldiers into the Ghost Fan Tower? I think that in this ghost Fan Tower, there must be a large number of killers. ”

Wang Gang and Ji Qian glanced at each other, nodded and said, "That's fine." ”

Descending to the first floor, Wang Gang took the long knife in his hand from the hands of a back-mounted soldier, and slashed horizontally, sticking to the ground, cutting off the third pillar at the waist. A black hole was revealed in the ground, and the entrance to the hole was no longer a cable, but an iron ladder that extended downward.

In order to prevent a dark crossbow ambush below, Wang Gangjiqian put on his own helmet and armor, held an iron shield, and opened the way first, and the two hundred Beiwei troops followed closely. Li Cheng held the snowflake double knife in his hand, and led the three hundred elites he had carefully selected to follow the Beiwei army into the ground.

This ghost fan building built underground is extremely strong, and hundreds of soldiers walking on the ladder are extremely stable, and there is no sign of collapse.

On the first floor of the basement, in more than a dozen rooms, there are hundreds of kilns of good wine, and the aroma of the wine is strong, reaching the nostrils. Li Cheng secretly praised, good wine!

On the second basement floor, all kinds of armor are piled up in various rooms. Li Cheng lifted a black steel knife and tried the blade, but it turned out to be a hundred refined steel. Li Cheng was not polite, and immediately ordered his subordinates to pick a black knife.

On the third floor of the basement, most of the rooms were empty, only two rooms were full of white gold and silver, and according to rough estimates, there were at least fifty or sixty thousand taels. Li Cheng smiled at his subordinates, "This is a fortune." ”

The fourth basement floor is full of books. Li Cheng didn't like to read, and he didn't bother to think about why these books were piled up on the fourth floor, as if they were more precious than gold and silver. From the fourth floor, dead people began to appear. At least a dozen of the most sleek men in black were hacked to death inside and outside the room. The back army kills people, and it is really fast.

There were already shouts of killing from below. Li Cheng quickened his pace, covered the door with his double knives, and walked to the fifth floor, only to find that the battle had moved to the sixth floor underground, and at least fifty or sixty corpses had fallen on the fifth floor, most of them were dressed in black and armed with short knives, but there were also seven or eight back-to-back soldiers, all of whom were killed by crossbow machines.

One of Li Cheng's personal soldiers said, "General, it seems that the strength of this Ghost Fan Lou killer is not good." ”

Li Cheng Zhengse said, "It's not that these killers can't do it. It's that the back army is too powerful. What's more, killers are good at assassination. When it comes to fighting in formation, they are certainly not opponents in front of the Beiwei army that has survived a hundred battles. There were murders below, and it seemed that Ji Qian Wang Gang was in trouble. Brethren, we've run the fifth floor, and it's time to help. Go, kill! ”
