Chapter 0167 - Victory over Ulzhou [57 Explosions]
"Boom!"
The violent explosion set off a sky-high fire, instantly illuminating most of the night sky. After the firelight, a large cloud of black smoke slowly drifted from the city gate and shrouded over the city wall.
"Defend the city gates, the city gates have been blown open by the thieves!"
After the explosion, there was immediately a shout of officials and soldiers in the city gate, and then hundreds of officers and soldiers were seen holding steel knives, fully armed in the empty city gate.
However, just when the officials and soldiers were hurriedly filling the door hole, outside the city gate, there was a sky-shattering shout of killing.
"Rush—"
In the night, the bandit army had already heard the explosion and seen the fierce and dazzling firelight, so they knew that Ling Hu Chong and Lin Pingzhi had succeeded, and they had already blown open the city gate, so at this time, the time had come for them to charge.
At that moment, only the sound of shouting and killing was heard, the sound of horses' hooves was hurried, and the bandit army launched a big charge, and everyone rushed towards the blasted city gate.
"Kill!" In the darkness, Wang Shouren took the lead, holding a long-handled broadsword, and directly rushed into the doorway, instantly cutting off the head of an officer and soldier, and at the same time blocking the baggage cart that was about to be filled into the doorway.
"Kill!"
Closely behind Wang Shouren, it was Tian Boguang and other martial arts heroes, at this moment, they were all like tigers descending from the mountain, flying into the group of officers and soldiers, one by one, raising their swords and constantly harvesting the heads of the officers and soldiers.
Then, the army of bandits swarmed in, all rushed towards the doorway, and there were more and more bandit troops entering the city, and the official army was about to be unstoppable, so far, it can be said. It was only a matter of time before the city of Ulju was captured.
It was also at the moment when the bandit army and the official army were fighting to the death, outside the city wall, on the desolate wilderness. Under the light of the dark moon, Lin Pingzhi was holding Ling Hu Chong, who had passed out, in a daze, and the whole person fell into dementia.
The arrow in Ling Hu Chong's vest was too serious, and he didn't know if Ling Hu Chong would survive. So at this time, he didn't know what to think in his heart.
He recalled his grievances and grievances with Ling Hu Chong along the way, and unconsciously, he actually missed the days when he could take Ling Hu Chong as a goal and work hard, at that time, his martial arts were low, and he had just arrived on Mount Hua, among all the disciples on Mount Hua. The person with the highest martial arts is Ling Hu Chong, so he has always regarded him as the goal and direction in his heart, and has always wanted to surpass him. It's just that he didn't expect that so many things would happen between him and Ling Hu Chong later, which also caused the distance between them to become farther and farther apart, especially because of Yue Lingshan's matter, the two almost became enemies.
However, no matter what, in the depths of Lin Pingzhi's heart. He has always felt that Ling Hu Chong is a fair and honest person, and he has always admired him.
And now, he himself has become a waste, so he doesn't want to compete with Linghu Chong for Yue Lingshan. even hoped that they could be happily together, but they didn't want to, God's will made people, and now Ling Hu Chong is going to die for him.
For a while, Lin Pingzhi sat there in a daze. Seeing the endless darkness and emptiness, a heart is like night, becoming endlessly lonely.
"Leader Lin!"
At this time, several bandit armies discovered Lin Pingzhi and Ling Hu Chong, and then they quickly surrounded them.
"Leader Lin, what's wrong with Leader Linghu?" A bandit army asked, but Lin Pingzhi didn't answer, he just stood up silently and walked forward with Linghu in his arms.
"Quick, escort the two leaders back to the mountain!"
At that moment, several soldiers came forward to escort them, two of them tried to lift Ling Hu Chong, but they were all pushed away by Lin Pingzhi, he just walked forward a little stubbornly, and at the same time subconsciously said in his mouth: "Senior brother, you hold on a little longer, I will take you to see Senior Sister, don't worry, you will definitely get better, it will be, we will go to see Senior Sister, you hold on, you must hold on." ”
"Quick, send someone to find Miss Yue!" Listening to Lin Pingzhi's words, someone immediately rode a horse and rushed into the night, looking for Liang Hong's troops, plus looking for Yue Lingshan.
At this time, in the city of Ulju, the war was nearing the end, and the bandit army had cleared most of the officers and soldiers.
However, what they didn't expect was that just when they were seizing the time to take over the city defense and arrange manpower to extinguish the fire and secure the people, they didn't want to hear the earth-shattering shouts outside the city again.
The reinforcements of the officers and troops have arrived!
At that time, when he heard the news, Wang Shouren immediately made a decision and immediately ordered people to block the door hole with a baggage truck, and at the same time sent people to rush to the head of the city to defend.
Fortunately, there were only about 1,000 officers and soldiers who returned to help, and after they arrived under the city wall, they just tried to attack, and then found that they could not capture the city at all, and in the end they had no choice but to flee.
After that, it didn't take long for two more groups of officers and troops to arrive, but the result was the same, both failed to form an effective threat to the bandit army.
At that time, seeing this situation, Wang Shouren relieved himself and began to take a break to arrange some related matters in the city.
"Zhang Bang Anmin, let everyone rest assured, we are the anti-Ming righteous army, and we are for the benefit of the people, so we will definitely not hurt any people!" Wang Shouren said to his subordinates.
When he heard this, his men took the command and left.
Seeing that the herald had left, Wang Shouren immediately frowned again, and said to another subordinate: "Send the order, all the officers and men above the rank of lieutenant in the army come to see me, I have something important to announce!" ”
After Wang Shouren's words fell, the herald immediately ran to herald.
After a while, Wang Wensu and a group of people came, and then, Wang Shouren looked at them, nodded, and then took out a blank piece of paper from his arms, lit the light of the torch, and read to the soldiers: "The three major military regulations of the Anti-Ming Righteous Army are paid attention to: first, all actions are under command, second, not to take a stitch from the masses, and third, all seizures must be returned to ......the public."
It turned out that before Liang Hong formulated a plan to attack Ulzhou, he had discussed some matters after the siege with Wang Shouren. Obviously, Liang Hong naturally thought of the "three disciplines and eight attentions" that he had been reciting when he was a soldier in the army, and then he told Wang Shouren about this thing, but he didn't expect to be highly praised by Wang Shouren, and then Liang Hong wrote down the three disciplines and eight attentions. Give Wang Shouren to collect it first, and let him tell the whole army about this thing after capturing Ulzhou City, which will be their marching guidelines from now on.
Soon. Wang Shouren finished reading the three major military regulations and eight points of attention, and then he handed the piece of paper to Wang Wensu and said, "Brother Wensu, your prestige here is very high, so I will leave this matter to you." Someone copy the article on this piece of paper and show it to everyone. Let everyone do what is said above, do not harm the people, we must be good to the people, so that it is possible in the long run, otherwise, once the people are unpopular, not to mention the official army to destroy us, I am afraid that it will be the spittle of the people, and we will be drowned. ”
Hearing Wang Shouren's words, Wang Wensu nodded. Hurriedly asked those big and small leaders to copy the articles and tell the whole army, so that the big guys must strictly abide by the military rules and not disturb the people.
After that, Wang Wensu looked at Wang Shouren with some hesitation, and said to him: "Brother Yangming, that, Brother Lin and Brother Linghu, it seems that there is no news yet-"
"That's right!"
As soon as he heard this, Wang Shouren immediately remembered the matter of Ling Hu Chong and Lin Pingzhi. At that moment, I didn't realize that I hurriedly sent someone to investigate their situation.
However, what made them feel helpless was that the city gate was blocked at this time, and their people could not get out at all. Therefore, in the end, they could only look at the night outside the city and sigh, they could only hope that Ling Hu Chong and Lin Pingzhi were strong in martial arts, and hoped that they would be fine.
Then, when Wang Shouren was hurrying to arrange the affairs of the city, the officials and troops outside the city. After meeting several groups of men, they immediately formed a powerful offensive again and came to besiege the city.
At that time, seeing this situation, Wang Shouren had no choice but to arrange heavy troops to guard the city gate, and even did not hesitate to light the baggage carts, always trying every means to prevent the officials and soldiers from entering the city, and at the same time, everyone left, including himself, went up to the city wall to defend, swore to fight to the death with the officials and soldiers, and never allowed the officials and troops to recapture the city.
This period of fighting lasted for a long time, the casualties on both sides were very serious, and finally when the situation was about to stalemate, at this time, I saw the light of a torch in the distance outside the city, and then when the light approached, the people in the city saw clearly that those people were none other than the three hundred female cavalry led by Liang Hong.
At that time, seeing Liang Hong and them appear, Wang Shouren and the others breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, thinking that there was finally a chance to meet the inside and outside, and then, what Wang Shouren didn't expect was that just when they thought that the besieging officers and soldiers would divide their troops to attack Liang Hong's troops, but they didn't want to, in the night, those officers and soldiers who were besieging the city, as soon as they heard that Liang Hong was coming, they all immediately looked like dirt, and their expressions were like ghosts, and then they were actually one by one, unconsciously let out a miserable scream, Then he turned around and fled into the darkness.
"What happened?" Everyone in the city was puzzled, but at the same time, Liang Hong was a little helpless.
"Uncle Wei, look at it, what kind of guts are these people under you, am I really that terrible?" Liang Hong sat upright on his horse and looked at Wei Ying next to him and asked.
Wei Ying's face was embarrassed for a while, and he said in his heart, don't you know yet? Actually, you're so terrible, hey, it's a pity, I'm captured by you now, otherwise, I would have run away a long time ago. Who the would dare to stay with you, a devil, that would really be a bear's heart and a leopard's guts.
"That, that, Brother Liang, you, you've taken the city, what's next? Wei Ying is not talented, and beg Brother Liang not to hurt the people of Hecheng," Wei Ying looked at Liang Hong and pleaded.
"Hahaha, Brother Wei, am I, Liang Hong, just a reckless bandit in your heart? Hmph, you are wrong, not only will I not hurt the people, but I will try my best to appease the people, because I know that those who win the hearts of the people can win the world! Liang Hong looked at Wei Ying and smiled, and when Wei Ying heard this, he didn't feel that his whole body was shocked, and then his heart sank like a stone into the depths of the sea.
This person, this person is really ambitious, how is this good, how is it good? (To be continued.) )
