Chapter Twenty-Three: Ghosts and Monsters

The other generals, including Zhu Dapeng, a guy who fused two souls, finally understood what Sesame Li wanted to remind, and they were all shocked.

The day before yesterday afternoon, the striker arrived in Xiaopei, but this morning he arrived in Xuzhou again. Between Xiaopei and Xuzhou, there are more than 160 miles to catch. That is to say, the nearest rebel army, more than 40,000 brothers led by the two brothers Pei Pei 56 and Pei 72, did not hold on even for one night, and were completely annihilated by the soldiers and horses who did not spend it. Even the messenger who asked for help didn't have time to send it out!

What a disparity in combat effectiveness this is?! Even if the Pei brothers brought 40,000 sheep, they would have to send someone to catch them in the middle of the night to catch them all, right?! However, this person broke Xiaopei the night before yesterday and rushed outside Xuzhou this morning! Even the battle and the march took only one day and two nights!

Immediately, some people shouted loudly that they should hurry up and close the north gate, so as not to take advantage of the cavalry of the imperial court to enter. There are also people who loudly mention that from now on, the walls will be cleared, and the people and horses of the imperial court will starve to death in the wilderness outside the city. Others simply raised yì and spent a lot of money to recruit a group of dead soldiers to go to the banks of the Yellow River and burn the pontoon bridge clean with a fire. Regardless of this season, the Yellow River has reached the dry season, and in a few days, a half-foot-thick ice shell will freeze on the surface of the river!

These are not the most bizarre, the most bizarre thing is that someone actually muttered in a low voice, asking if they could send someone to contact Zhao'an? It is said that the imperial court was relatively tolerant of the rebel leaders who accepted the recruitment, and has not killed any of them so far.

"I have already sent people to garrison the north gate, rest assured, five hundred cavalry, forgive them for not daring to rush directly into the city!" The more Sesame Li listened, the more disappointed he became, waved his hand, and interrupted loudly. Then, he looked at the brothers who mentioned Yiyi Zhao'an, shook his head with a wry smile, and said loudly: "Pei Seventy-two is bandaging his wounds in the back hall at the moment. The scout we sent out snatched him back from the hands of the Tartar scout. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have thought that the Tartars' soldiers and horses would not arrive until spring! ”

When the generals heard this, they shouted into a pot of porridge again, "Pei Seventy-two in the back hall?" When did he arrive, how do we not know?! ”

"What about our scouts? I actually fought with the Tartar scouts, and what about the casualties? ”

"Hurry up and bring Pei Seventy-two out, we need to understand the enemy's situation!"

Sesame Li sighed, and had to order someone to go to the back hall to invite Pei Seventy-two. After a short time, the soldiers walked in with a young man covered in blood on a stretcher, put it in the open space in the center of the hall, and reported loudly: "The chief manager, Pei, General Pei has carried it over!" has already used the medicine, Lang Zhong said, there is no big obstacle to his life for the time being! ”

"Brother Pei, Brother Pei, can you hear me?" Sesame Li nodded at the pro-soldiers first, then stood up, walked to Pei Seventy-two's stretcher in person, and asked in a low voice.

"Boss, revenge, revenge!" Pei Seventy-two didn't respond at first, and then, he suddenly stretched out his bloody hand and grabbed Sesame Li's cloak, "Xiao Pei, the 100,000 soldiers and civilians outside the city of Xiao Pei were all killed by the Mongols." Most of the governors, not one left, kill them all! ”

After that, he raised his head and kept hitting the ground, crying loudly as he bumped: "My brother, my brother thinks that the Tartar soldiers are too powerful, so he wants to pretend to surrender and deceive them first, and then look for an opportunity to raise the banner of righteousness again." Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that the old fox would not be blamed for the past, and after deceiving the city gate open, he immediately pulled out his knife and slashed indiscriminately. My brother, my brother didn't even have time to fight back, he chopped up. I, I didn't agree to surrender in advance, and secretly hid in the city and didn't go out. Later, when he saw that the Tartars had begun to slaughter the city, he snatched a horse and killed it with a hundred and ten brothers. Along the way, he was chased and killed by the Tartars along the way, chased and killed, the boss, take revenge, avenge Xiao Pei's 100,000 unjust souls! ”

In the empty hall, only his cries echoed around. The person who accepted the recruitment couldn't say a word anymore, covered his face with his hands, and slowly knelt on the ground. Looking at Zhao Junyong again, Mao Gui and other core generals, their eyes were red with hatred, their hands were clenched into fists, and their joints gurgled.

Whether Xiao Pei Yijun wants to pretend to accept Zhao'an, Pei Seventy-two may not be telling the truth. But the slaughter of the entire army and civilians in Xiaopei is a bloody fact. Most of the generals of the Xuzhou Army are from Xiao County, and they are only 100 miles away from Xiaopei, which can be regarded as half of their fellow villagers. There are even some generals who are from exiles, and there are relatives who live on Xiaopei's side, and they are completely separated by yin and yang overnight.

"Woo!" Several generals who had relatives in Xiaopei couldn't hold back for a long time, and finally cried. Everyone turned their heads, wanting to say a few words of comfort, and opened their mouths, but they also burst into tears. Look at the indignant brothers in front of him, and then think about Xiao Pei's 100,000 soldiers and civilians, there are still many old and weak women and children, and Sesame Li can no longer keep calm. Walked to the weapon rack by the wall and pulled out a steel knife, and slashed at the red lacquered pillar in the lobby, "From now on, whoever dares to mention a descending word again, just like that!" ”

"Dangchang!" The thick wooden pillar was seen more than half a foot into it, and the steel knife was also stuck inside, shaking up and down.

"Fight to the death, fight to the death!" The generals in the room were red-eyed, waving their arms, and shouting hoarsely.

Sesame Li turned his head and glanced around the room, let go of his palm, which was numb, and strode back to the handsome case, "Come on, carry Brother Pei down to rest." Send me Xiao Xu, the scout captain on duty today, and report the military situation in public! ”

"Yes!" The soldiers agreed, and quickly stepped forward to carry away Pei Seventy-two, who was howling, and then took the scout captain Xu Chengyi. Although the latter is only in his early twenties, he has a very sharp mind. Seeing that several of the main generals in the army had already arrived, he took the initiative to report without everyone asking: "Qi Qi generals, today I am under the order of the chief administrator, and lead a hundred scouts under his command to inspect the area within fifty miles north of the city. After crossing the pontoon bridge on the Yellow River for less than ten miles, I saw the cavalry of the Tartars chasing and killing General Pei. Twenty men were immediately sent back to warn the chief manager, and he himself took eighty other brothers to meet the enemy. I thought I could be caught off guard by relying on the number of people to fight the tartars. Who's going to expect"

His eyes were slightly red, and his voice choked, "More than eighty brothers were killed by the Tartars. Then the Tartars sent half of their men to hunt down the messengers sent by the younger ones. The small, the small, the small one saw that the momentum was not good, so General Pei took a detour to escape for his life, relying on his familiarity with the nearby terrain to bring him to the city gate alive. The little ones, the scouts under the little men, are alive, and less than ten people have come back alive! ”

After speaking, he covered his face with his hands, and his shoulders twitched. Sesame Li had already listened to his report once, and when he heard it for the second time at this moment, he was still sad and inexplicable. raised his hand and wiped it on his face, and then continued to instruct, "Don't be busy crying first, you first report to everyone what you have found and seen!" ”

"Yes!" Xu Chengyi hurriedly put down the hand covering his face, his eyes were red, and he added loudly, "According to General Pei himself, there are only more than 15,000 people in total, of which the cavalry and scouts add up to about 700, all of whom are Mongols. There are also Rakshasa ghost soldiers specially invited from the Golden Horde in the north, all of whom have yellow heads and green eyes, are very tall, and like to eat human flesh raw. There were more than 3,000 men, all infantry, and the horses were used only to carry weapons and armor. The rest are auxiliary soldiers, all of whom are Koreans. Each of them had only a short knife, and the Tartars didn't trust them much. But these guys are not ordinary ruthless when they kill people! ”

"Shhh The generals, no matter how brave they were, couldn't help but gasp. No one expected that in order to suppress the rebel army this time, the Mengyuan Imperial Court got a group of ghosts to help. No wonder Pei Lao didn't dare to fight, so he wanted to surrender. How can a good living person be an opponent of demons and monsters?

Although he had long expected that the Mengyuan Imperial Court would not let the righteous army grow slowly, Zhu Dapeng was also surprised when he heard it, the Golden Horde? At this time, the Golden Horde still exists? The yellow-headed and green-eyed Rakshasa ghost soldier? , and he's still very big, aren't he Russians? Why did they come all the way to Xuzhou? And the Koreans? Why are Koreans mixed up with all kinds of bad things? If this is known to their children and grandchildren in the afterlife, won't even Xuzhou become theirs?! (Note 1)

When I was surprised, I heard Sesame Li's voice in my ears again, a little dumb, and I didn't deliberately open my throat to shout, but after listening to it, my heart suddenly calmed down a lot, "What kind of ghost, in broad daylight, where does the ghost come from?" And even if they are really ghosts, we are still evil ghosts when we die. Ghosts and ghosts, who will be afraid of whom? ”

"Hahahaha" The crowd was amused by him and laughed with tears, and after laughing, the fear in their hearts was reduced a lot. He rubbed his eyes dry, and talked about how to deal with the enemy.

Someone Jianyi took advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to immediately kill them and annihilate the 500 pioneers. There are also people who build yì, be careful and prudent, close the four doors tightly, and clear the walls. Anyway, it's already winter, and the snow will fall soon. The soldiers and horses of the imperial court had no place to shelter from the wind outside the city, and they had to run alive sooner or later. If there are still some people here, then they will first ask the light to come out and paste the rune paper around the city wall, so that those ghost soldiers will not take advantage of the gloomy atmosphere at night and climb directly into the city.

Speaking of which, except for a few people such as Mao Gui and Zhao Junyong, most of the other generals actually agreed to defend the city and consume the enemy army alive. Zhu Dapeng heard this, knowing that everyone was still afraid that the Yuan army was changed by ghosts, so he cleared his throat and reported loudly to Sesame Li: "The last general happens to know a little about the Golden Horde. Where are some ghosts, but a strange alien race from the Western Regions! In fact, they are all the same as us, eating with one mouth and walking on two legs, piercing with a knife, and still having two holes in the front and back. ”

"Oh? You actually know? Can you tell you more about it! Sesame Li Zhengchou couldn't boost his morale, so he immediately looked at Zhu Dapeng and explained in a somewhat encouraging tone.

"It's a long story!" Zhu Dapeng desperately searched for the little bit of historical knowledge in his stomach, and added loudly, "When the ancestral traces of the Mongols were divided, they were once divided into two parts. Some of them went south to attack our ancestor of the Great Song Dynasty, and the other part went west to kill the past. As a result, it took nearly a hundred years for the southward branch to finally defeat our ancestors. The westward one, said to have numbered just over 20,000 people, wiped out hundreds of countries along the way in less than a decade. This yellow-headed and green-eyed guy was also wiped out by the Mongols back then. It's just that they have forgotten who their ancestors are now, so they are desperate to work for the Mongols! ”

Note 1: The fact that the Mongol Yuan court sent Caucasian soldiers to suppress the Red Turban Army is clearly recorded in historical materials and is not apocryphal.
