Chapter 119: The Great War Begins
Li Yan made a tent, and the melee was nearing its end.
Although Ma Shouying, He Yilong, He Jin, Liu Xiyao and Lin Chengcheng all have good martial arts, this is a melee where there are only enemies and no allies, and everyone has to face four enemies at the same time.
The first to fall was Lin Yangsheng, as soon as he set up He Jin's ghost head knife, Ma Shouying returned his hand and picked open his lower abdomen with a sword, and the hot intestines and blood flowed out.
Lin Cheng howled forward and hugged He Jin's waist, when He Jin was about to break free, Liu Xiyao's backhand knife swept lightly over his neck, and the blood splashed, and He Jin's head was thrown high.
Liu Xiyao slashed He Jin's head with a knife, and before he could be complacent, a bone-eating cold penetrated his chest from behind, and his whole body became numb all of a sudden, and he couldn't move a bit, Liu Xiyao lowered his head with some difficulty, just in time to see a sword blade leaking out of his chest, and there were red blood beads flowing down the sharp blade.
Ma Shouying pierced Liu Xiyao's heart with a sword, and when he was about to draw his sword and retreat, He Yilong had already pounced on him, and the iron palm that could open the mountain slammed heavily on his back, Ma Shouying snorted, his eyes suddenly bulged, his mouth opened suddenly, and a ball of blood gushed out from his mouth, shooting out a foot away!
Seeing Ma Shouying slowly collapse to the ground, He Yilong couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, then turned around and raised his arms and roared at the stunned rebel generals around him: "Lao Tzu is the strongest, from today on, Lao Tzu is the commander of the Shaanxi Righteous Army!" Li Zicheng is a ball, and Zhang Xianzhong is a green onion, from today on, Lao Tzu will be on an equal footing with them...... Belch! ”
He Yilong's sturdy body trembled violently, and then he opened his mouth and let out a terrible scream.
The strange laughter sounded from behind He Yilong, and Ma Shouying's face turned to He Yilong like a ghost, only to see that his mouth was full of blood, his expression was hideous, and he smiled like a ghost: "You dog, Lao Tzu is the strongest, which onion are you He Yilong?" ......"
"I'm going to kill you!"
He Yilong suddenly opened his hands like crab pincers and strangled Ma Shouying's neck, Ma Shouying's forehead suddenly protruded like earthworm-like green tendons, and his face was also flushed, he stabbed He Yilong's chest and abdomen frantically with the dagger in his hand, but He Yilong just didn't let go.
"Whew!"
He Yilong roared in the sky, tried his last strength to hold Ma Shouying's neck with his left hand, and twisted Ma Shouying's head with his right hand, only to hear a crisp click, Ma Shouying's neck had been broken by him, and Ma Shouying, who was twisted off his neck, died without snorting.
He Yilong threw Ma Shouying's corpse on the ground, and then looked up to the sky and laughed, and the red blood arrows splashed out from the cut wound one by one with his burst of wild laughter, and soon, He Yilong's laughter became weak, and then his sturdy body shook twice and fell to the ground.
The surrounding air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and all the generals of the Righteous Army who rushed to hear the news, including the large and small generals of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, they witnessed this tragic and bloody scene from beginning to end, in order to compete for the commander of the Shaanxi Righteous Army, the five leaders of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left died together!
In the suffocating dead silence, Li Yan slowly walked to the middle of the field, and said with a sad face: "Ben Shuai also tried his best to dissuade him, but unfortunately the five generals insisted on going their own way, and they had to use force to decide the victory...... The tragedy that happened now, Ben Shuai also felt sad, because we failed to usher in a new coach, but lost five generals who could fight well! ”
Li Yan's easy sentence dissolved the resentment and hatred of all the old departments of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left into invisible, the reason is obvious, this competition was provoked by Ma Shouying and the five of them in order to compete for the position of commander, this matter does not involve personal grudges, and it has nothing to do with Li Yan.
The old department of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution couldn't find a suitable partner even if they wanted to take revenge, because Ma Shouying and the five of them were all dead, so they couldn't transfer their hatred to the other brothers, right?
What's more, the old department of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution is now most concerned about who will take over the five battalions? Ma Shouying and others have cultivated a lot of cronies, and these cronies seem to be qualified to take over one of the five battalions of the Gezuo, but it seems that no one is qualified, after all, there are only five battalions in the fifth battalion of the Gezuo, and there are dozens of people who are qualified to become generals!
"Generals, now is not the time to grieve, let alone take revenge on each other!" Li Yan continued, "The food in the army is almost exhausted, and if we can't find any more food, we will starve to death!" There is only one way to live in front of us, and that is to break into Datong and grab the food and salary in the city! ”
The eyes of all the generals of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution were all focused on Li Yan, and suddenly they understood a simple truth, after Ma Shouying and their death, among the entire Shaanxi Righteous Army, there were no more people who were qualified to challenge the authority of Li Yan's commander, and whoever wanted to be the new leader of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution Left must be appreciated by Li Yan.
A nimble general immediately shouted: "Commander, let's go back to the camp and listen to you!" ”
"Dashuai, our camp in troubled times also listens to you!"
"We will listen to you in the camp of the world!"
"Dashuai, so is our Zuojin Camp."
"So is our Camp Gree."
The generals of the other four battalions also came back to their senses and rushed to show their loyalty to Li Yan.
"Okay." Li Yan nodded and said loudly, "Now is the time when everyone needs to be in the same boat, the generals can go back to the camp first, gather their own men and horses, and attack the city overnight!" ”
"Yes!"
The generals of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution Zuo suddenly agreed to the promise and all took the orders and left.
■■■
Datong, South Gate Arrow Tower.
When Wang Pu was napping at the desk, a small footsteps suddenly came in from outside the arrow room, and when Wang Pu looked back, he saw that the pretty girl had already walked in with a basin of hot foot washing water, and said softly: "General, you are tired for a day, soak your feet to relieve fatigue, right?" ”
Nen Niang put the hot water in front of Wang Pu's feet, then squatted down on her knees and rested Wang Pu's left foot on her slender and round thigh, and then took off her boots and socks for Wang Pu, and then put hot water on the soles of Wang Pu's feet, and then raised her head and asked, "General, is the water hot?" ”
Wang Pu shook his head and said, "It's not hot, it's just right." ”
A sweet smile floated on the face of the young lady, led Wang Pu's left foot into the footbasin, and then carefully rubbed Wang Pu's feet, Wang Pu's left foot was hot with hot water, and was rubbed a few times by the young girl's little hand, and immediately felt an inexplicable comfort from the tail vertebrae, and couldn't help moaning.
The young lady raised her pink face and asked in a coquettish voice, "General, are you comfortable?" ”
"Comfortable." Wang Pu couldn't help but say, "It's so comfortable." ”
The young lady pursed her lips and said with a smile: "From then on, the little one will soak your feet every day." ”
Wang Pu didn't speak, as the saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, but I am afraid that in a few months, he will completely lose the courage to share weal and woe with the soldiers under his command, and enjoy the meticulous service of the young lady, and then think about returning to the hard military career before, it will be difficult.
Thinking of this, Wang Pu suddenly said: "Nenniang, you should go back to the Wang family compound tomorrow, right?" ”
The young lady's movements suddenly stopped, and then she looked up at Wang Pu steadily, and in the blink of an eye, tears had already risen in the beautiful big eyes of the young girl, and the red Pupu's little face also showed a look of grievance, and she sobbed in a low voice: "General, did the little maid do something bad?" ”
"Ahem, it's not." Wang Pu scratched his head and said, "You didn't do anything bad, you did a good job." ”
"General, you lie." The young lady pouted and said, "The little maid must have done something wrong, so you will drive the little maid back." ”
"Ahem, that, then I won't go back to the Wang family compound." Wang Pu couldn't see the woman crying, so he hurriedly said, "It's better for you to stay with the general, but don't cry anymore." ”
"Really." When the young lady heard this, she immediately burst into tears and laughed, and said happily, "General, you really don't drive the little maid away?" ”
Looking at the delicate appearance of the young girl's pear blossom with rain, Wang Pu couldn't help but feel excited, thinking that if he really wanted to let this little girl continue to stay by his side, maybe he would really be able to eat her one day, not to mention that Chen Yuanyuan sent the young girl to the army, which originally had this meaning in it, which invisibly lowered Wang Pu's mental defense index even more.
"Little girl." Wang Pu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Aren't you afraid that the general will do you badly?" ”
"Don't be afraid." The young lady looked at Wang Pu with a blushing face, and said in a low voice, "The general can refuse to marry for the sake of his wife's will, and he can rob the Dharma field for the sake of Brother Huzi, so he is not a bad person." ”
When she said this, the young lady was kneeling on the ground and pouting her buttocks and rubbing Wang Pu's feet, because of her kneeling, this little girl's white riding pants were tightly wrapped in two petals**, outlining the curve of her round and straight buttocks to the fullest, Wang Pu couldn't help but look at it twice, and almost didn't hug this sultry little Lori into his arms on the spot.
The atmosphere in the arrow room became more and more charming, and when Wang Pu was about to lose control of his emotions, a continuous horn suddenly sounded outside the south gate, Wang Pu's face changed, and he looked back at the outside of the city in a hurry, and said in a deep voice: "It's not good, the thieves are afraid that they will attack the city overnight!" ”
"Lu Liu!" Without waiting for the young lady to dry her feet, Wang Pu stood up in the footbasin, raised his head and shouted, "Lu Liu! ”
Lu Liu, who usually wandered around outside the arrow room, didn't know where to hide, Wang Pu shouted for a while, and then this guy hurriedly ran into the arrow room, and hurriedly responded: "The villain is here." ”
Wang Puhuo said: "Immediately send someone to call the beard, Scarface, Zhao Xin and Zhao Liujin." ”
"Yes."
Lu Liu answered and took the order.
When the bearded, scarface, Zhao Xin and Zhao Liujin hurried to the arrow room, Wang Pu had already put on his boots and socks under the service of the young lady, and was standing behind the arrow hole to check the enemy's situation.
Under the bright firelight, the black-pressed thieves were like endless ants swarming, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
"General, the thieves outside the city have gathered three echelons." The bearded man with the most experience in estimating the strength of the army quickly made an accurate judgment, and said in a deep voice, "There are at least five thousand people in each echelon, and at least five more echelons are being assembled, and there are more than five hundred simple ladders. ”
"Li Yan is such a big deal!" Zhao Xin's face changed, and he said in a deep voice, "There is not even a tentative attack, it is a strong attack as soon as it comes up, and it is eight echelons of 40,000 people, does he really think that with these rabble under his command, he can defeat Datong in one go?" ”
Wang Pu turned around and shouted, "Zhao Liujin." ”
Zhao Liujin hurriedly responded: "Humble duty." ”
Wang Pu shouted in a deep voice: "Send another thousand-strong team to strengthen the defense of the South Gate!" ”
"Yes!"
Zhao Liujin suddenly agreed and took the order.
Wang Pu said to the bearded man again: "Bearded man, you lead a thousand musketeers to stand by in the urn city, in case Zhao Liujin's people can't stand it, you will open the city gate and launch a counterattack against the thieves and beat them down." ”
"Yes."
The bearded man also took the order.
Scarface and Zhao Xin said: "General, what about us?" ”
Wang Pu said: "You two don't act rashly, guard the north gate, the west gate, the east gate and the small east gate, especially the small east gate guarded by Zhao Xin!" ”
"Little East Gate?" Zhao Xin was stunned and said, "No, the city wall of Xiaodongmen is the highest, the defense facilities on the city wall are also the most complete, and there are even two mortar cannons, how can a thief pick a hard bone to gnaw?" ”
"There is a saying in the book of war, how to call it by surprise and attack it unprepared." Wang Pu said in a deep voice, "You must remember in the future, the more unlikely it seems to be attacked, the more careful you must be!" ”
