Chapter 3: The Meritorious Service of Crooked Strikes
"Rush, rush, take the gold and silver treasures of the city, the women of the Song people are at your disposal, and the warriors of the great gold, take out your bravery, draw your longbows, raise your scimitars, and attack your enemies, and obtain your glory. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" A stout Mook brandished a scimitar and shouted at his men, and the Jurchen soldiers gasped and stared at the city with bull's-eyed eyes.
Woo~~Woo~~Woo~~Woo~~, the horn of attack sounded again, and many topless Jurchen soldiers, with colorful tattoos painted on their bodies, beat their chests while running, praying for the protection of the gods.
When the defenders of the city heard the sound of the trumpet, they knew that the Jin had attacked again. Liu Ping hastily ate 2 cooking cakes, wiped the slimy blood on his hands, clenched the knife in his hand, hid by the city wall, looked at the tired soldiers and people guarding the city one by one, and secretly said in his heart, is it possible, after I Liu Ping crossed back to the Song Dynasty, I had to be hacked to death by the Jin people again, hum, this thief God let me die, I Liu Ping just didn't fulfill his wish, Lao Tzu wants to live, and Lao Tzu wants to live well!! ”
"Phew, this golden dog that can't be killed" Wang Mazi spat a mouthful of phlegm at the city. stood by Liu Ping's side. Seeing this, dozens of people next to him also moved closer to Liu Ping's side, people are animals like this, they don't protect the strong. The more fierce the people you kill, the more people gather around you.
I saw more and more siege ladders coming towards the city wall, and one of the lieutenants who was maintaining on the side shouted loudly, "Lift off the ladders, lift off their ladders, don't let the golden dogs rush up." Suddenly, the wood and stones were rolled, and it was smashed again.
It's a pity that the Jin soldiers in this attack are too dense, and they rush up desperately, often a long ladder is full of Jin soldiers' corpses, but there are still countless Jin soldiers waving swords rushing up. In less than a while, there were three or four golden soldiers on the ladder rushing up to the city tower, and Liu Ping led a group of people to rush the golden soldiers who climbed up to slash and kill.
"Brother Liu, it's not a way to do this, the brothers near us have hung flowers, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on." Wang Mazi looked worried.
Liu Ping didn't answer, but just waved his knife and slashed at the nearest Jin soldier.
Seeing that more and more Jin soldiers were pouring in, the general rushed to his subordinates and quickly went to inform General Zhang, saying that the city was urgent and needed reinforcements urgently. A soldier got the order, got off the city tower and hurriedly rushed to the prefect's yamen, entered the door, and saw Zhang Wei and Li Gang and other officials in the council hall. ”
Zhang Weidao: "There are less than a thousand people".
"When will the reinforcements from the old general of Fukasawa arrive?"
"I can't get to Cangzhou tonight at the earliest."
"Now the plan is to quickly send the soldiers in the city to support the soldiers in the city."
"No!" An armored sergeant took the order. There was silence in the conference hall for a while, and Li Gang looked at the surrounding cadres and others and said coldly: "Li has received the grace of the saint, and he has exhausted all his efforts, lest he will be entrusted by the holy hope and sent by the people. Nowadays, as officials of the imperial court, you should have the duty of guarding the land and securing the people. But the thieves are powerful, and if the city is unfortunate today, I hope you will make plans as soon as possible. ”
The officials were silent for a long time, and after a long time, Li Gang left the conference hall with his sleeves brushed.
The power of example is infinite, and on the city wall, Liu Ping slashed at Jin Bing as if he was crazy. The people who gathered next to Liu Ping saw Liu Ping's crazy appearance, and they also followed the golden soldiers in the city to greet them desperately.
In the Jin soldiers, Wuyan Puluhun looked at the city coldly, the sound of fighting kept coming, it had been fighting for half a day, and the city tower had not yet been captured, his face couldn't help but be full of anger, and said: "Sula, whether you can capture this city or not, it should be exhausted for half a day, when will your promise be fulfilled!" Nearly a thousand warriors have already lost their lives, and if the fourth prince knows, I'm afraid no one will have a hard time. ”
Sula's face was flushed, she looked at her boss, turned over and dismounted, and stroked her chest with one hand: "Puruhun, my life is yours, I am your most loyal eagle dog, please believe me." With that, he turned around and picked up the weapon in his hand and rushed forward. The Jurchen wars were often the leader with his subordinates to attack the enemy, and the field battle was almost invincible, but it took a lot of effort to meet the high walls of the Song people.
Sula's huge body rushed towards the city, his body was flexible like a cheetah, and his vigorous body quickly rushed onto the city wall, like a grinding meat, and there were almost no Song troops around him
In an instant, the situation on the city wall took a sharp turn for the worse, and it immediately fell to the side of the golden people. Uyan Puluhun looked at Sula who was rushing to kill on the city wall, and grinned: "This is Sula who is like a hungry wolf. Tell him to go down, beat the tiger-faced drum, and cheer for the sons and daughters in the city.
Knock ·····, the earth-shattering drum came, so that the morale of the golden soldiers of the city wall was greatly boosted, and the Song army saw a tall man with a big head and a big man, wielding a huge mace in his hand, like a tiger entering a flock, tearing a big hole in the city's defense. Seeing that the rout is a foregone conclusion.
Sula was happy to kill, and laughed out loud, "Weak Song dog, let your blood make me stronger." With a wave of his hand, Song Bing's head was shattered, and the white brain mixed with blood sprayed on Sula's face, which was very terrifying. Sula looked to the left and saw that a group of Song people dressed as folk husbands were still resisting, and one of them, a tall Song man, had killed three or four Jurchen soldiers in a row, so he couldn't help but be furious, and swung his stick and hit Liu Ping. Liu Ping suddenly felt a hard wind coming from the back of his head, and he didn't think about it in a hurry, he fell straight down, narrowly dodged Sula's blow, turned around and looked, only to see a golden man covered in blood who was rushing at him with a huge mace, and hurriedly blocked it with the scimitar in his hand.
With a choking sound, the scimitar in his hand was broken into two at once, and his tiger's mouth was also shaken with a long bloody mouth. Liu Ping said secretly: "This TM is simply an animal, so powerful." Before he could get out, he saw Sura swing over again, seeing that he couldn't dodge, Liu Ping felt a strong collision behind him, squeezing him aside, and narrowly avoided it. Liu Ping saw that it was Wang Mazi. Before he could think about it, he grabbed a blood-stained knife on the ground and was about to get up and fight again.
Sura was greatly annoyed by the missed three blows, and secretly said that a pig-like Song man had dodged his attack, and he couldn't help but be furious. Chasing Liu Ping is about to be slashed, and the tiger and tiger dancing with the mace are vigorous, and others can't get close. Sula didn't care about others, he just wanted to kill the cunning tall Song man with one mind, and when he saw Liu Ping picking up a knife, he slammed it under Liu Ping's head, and Wang Mazi next to him shouted: Brother Liu, be careful. Liu Ping was shocked, seeing that the mace smashed down from his eyes, and the secret road was over, I am afraid that he would have to die again.
Sulla's mouth opened and he smirked, "You can't run now." Suddenly, he was grabbed by a Song soldier who was not dead at the end of his feet, the center was unstable, and the mace in his hand was smashed off, and a bloody wound was drawn along the left side of Liu Ping's face, and Sula's huge body was planted straight on Liu Ping's body. Liu Ping's eyes were quick, and he slashed the horizontal knife with both hands.
Poof, with a bang, the steel knife slashed through Sula's neck, and the blood shot Liu Ping all over the face like a fountain. Sula's massive head rolled twice in the air, poofed, and fell to the ground.
"But... Evil" Sula opened his eyes with an unbelievable expression, he was the majestic Jin Dynasty's Meng'an, a thousand commanders with thousands of people, and he was actually killed by an unknown Song dog, unwilling, unwilling.
Whether Sura is willing or not, death is death. Liu Ping stood up from the ground like a bloody man, brandished his knife and shouted at Jin Bing.
"Sura Maon was killed, Sula was killed." Jin Bing shouted in horror, they knew that Sulla's name for fierceness among the Jurchens, how could he be a martial artist, they didn't see Sula being caught at his feet, they only saw Sulla's head being cut off by the tall Song Jun, they couldn't help but feel frightened, and looked at Liu Ping like the devil in the mouth of the shaman in the clan, and they retreated one after another.
As the saying goes, the courage of the soldiers, the Song army, which was losing and retreating, saw that the enemy chief was cut down by their own side, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they rushed forward with Liu Ping. The golden soldiers on the tower of the city lost their backbone, their fighting spirit was greatly reduced, and their morale plummeted. After a while, he was slaughtered by the Song army. Most of the towers returned to the Song army.
Wuyan Puluhun under the city saw that Sula was killed, and the siege failed again, seeing that the sun had set west at this time, he secretly said, today is not able to storm Cangzhou City, I am afraid that the fourth prince has already known that his siege is unfavorable, and his heart is even more light, how can he see that the morale of the Song army is at this time, and he can only fight again at night. Busy asking people to call in for gold to withdraw troops. They set up camp, pitched their tents, lit torches, and prepared to camp.
In the big tent of the Jin soldiers, Wuyan Puluhun took a big sip of wine, because the siege was not going well, he was upset, and secretly said that the team of the fourth prince should have come at this time, why has it not arrived at this time. But I was afraid that the fourth prince would come and see that he had not taken Cangzhou City after a day of storming, and he was worried and scared in his heart, who didn't know that the fourth prince was moody. He didn't want to touch that mold.
When he was thinking about it, the herald sent a message that the fourth prince went directly to the Zhending Mansion after taking the Daimyo's Mansion, and wanted to take the Zhending Mansion to pass by, and go to meet with the Wanyan Zongwang of the East Route Army, and attack Hezhou together, but he didn't expect to be besieged by more than 80,000 people from the Western Route Army's Seed Army and the Yao Family Army, and the fourth prince fought for half a day, and then retreated back to the Daimyo's Mansion. Now I ordered myself to collect my troops and return to the Daimyo, and then discuss.
Wuyan Puluhun sighed secretly, it seems that the fate of this Cangzhou city should not be extinguished.
At this time, the Song army in the city was very happy when they saw that the Jin people were singing gold and stopped attacking the city. A general covered in blood walked up to Liu Ping's side, patted Liu Ping on the shoulder and praised: "What a good man, he actually cleaned up a golden man Meng'an, and this staff member will go to the adults to ask for credit for you, hahaha." It's really worthy of our army, well... My good son of the Great Song Dynasty. "The general originally wanted to say that he was a good man in our army, but he found that Liu Ping was just a civilian husband, so he temporarily changed his words.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Liu Ping"
"Well, yes, hehe"
After a few words of reassurance to Liu Ping, the general went down to the city tower to return to the war. Liu Ping fell to the ground weakly, letting the sweat and blood on his face mix into blood, dripping down his cheeks.
"Brother, it's really yours, it's amazing, you cut off the head of that golden man Meng'an with one knife" Wang Mazi next to him came over, and a knife cut nearly half a foot long on his left arm, but he still had the spirit to tease Liu Ping.
"Brother Mazi, thank you for that bump, otherwise, how could I still live." Liu Ping smiled bitterly.
"Hey, thank you, brother, I deliberately hit you, I was kicked by Jin Ren before I hit you, and I really hit you crookedly" After speaking, Wang Mazi's face was a little red.
"Brother, you killed Meng'an of the Jin Kingdom this time, and made a great contribution, maybe you will be able to become an official and become a knight."
"Hehe, Brother Mazi, I'm also crooked, accept your auspicious words, if you really become an official, my brother will not forget your goodness."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Lying down at the foot of the wall and resting without mentioning.
At night, a new group of people were replaced, Liu Ping was replaced by the city tower to rest temporarily, and Li Gang and others, who had obtained the battle situation during the day, also came to the city tower to inspect the battle situation and comfort the wounded. The pine torch was lit on the city tower, and the city wall was illuminated as if it were day, so as to prevent the golden soldiers under the city from attacking at night.
Liu Ping hastily drank a bowl of hot porridge, three cooking cakes, and half a pickle, and was just about to find a place where no one was to rest, but was brought to Li Gang and others by the general during the day.
"You are Liu Ping, who slashed Jin Meng'an to death during the day?" Li Gang asked in a harmonious voice.
"Yes." Liu Ping responded.
"Bold, this is Lord Li Gang, the commander-in-chief of the Hebei and Hedong Road Patrol Envoys, and he has not knelt down to see Lord Li."
"Li Gang." Liu Ping's mind is that Li Gang, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, who is the main anti-Jin Dynasty, is said to be the main anti-Jin and enabled Yue Fei and other generals, if there is no him, I am afraid that after Jingkang, even the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty cannot exist, how to talk about the Zhongxing of the Southern Song Dynasty. If it weren't for Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, who were extremely mediocre, listened to slander, degraded Li Gang's official position, and didn't let him stay in Bianjing, maybe the Song army would not have let the Jin people attack Bianliang City under his leadership, let alone the shame of Jingkang. The thin middle-aged man in front of him is the famous Prime Minister Li Gang in history.
"Liu Ping, meet Master Li" Liu Ping knelt on the ground and said, although as a modern person, he is a little unaccustomed to this kneeling ceremony, but he has to follow the customs. Liu Ping's head is very flexible.
"Well, what a good man, with this hero, why not be afraid of his gold thief, hehe. Come on, Liu Zhuangshi, please. Li Gang laughed, and the official next to him echoed yes. Zhang Weijin, a member of the Xiang Legion, said: "My lord, this son once shot the golden soldier who hit the city with his longbow of Jiudou during the day, and also saved the life of the lower official, and he was a character." ”
"Oh? And this matter, okay, who are you under the account" Li Gang asked.
"Below, it's just a people's husband." Liu Pingdao.
"Such a fierce general, how can you only be a people's husband, Liu Ping, are you willing to take on the position of captain and be loyal to the country."
Is this TM considered a line of fire? Liu Ping said secretly, I usually only heard of joining the party on the battlefield and being promoted to the line of fire, but I didn't expect to be caught up by me this time. This crooked meritorious service actually became an official. Busy responding: "I am willing to obey the arrangement of the adults." ”
"Well, I hope you will fight bravely to kill the enemy and add to your combat exploits" Hehe, Li Gang patted Liu Ping's shoulder, and saw that Liu Ping's clothes were stained with blood, and his clothes were broken, he frowned and said: "Come on, change Captain Liu's clean clothes and armor." ”
"Liu Ping thanked my lord," Liu Ping said respectfully.
"Captain Liu, come with me." The waiter next to him took Liu Ping down to change his clothes, washed his head and face, put on the light armor lined with the Song Army's standard cotton clothes, and returned to Li Gang. Li Gang looked at Liu Ping and said, "It's really a handsome and good man."
Liu Ping smiled again. Secretly didn't expect Lao Tzu to be praised for being handsome. At this moment, a sharp-eyed person on the castle tower saw a large area of fire flickering in the northwest, as if an army was coming.
