Chapter 4
Wang Tingli is about forty years old, oily and fat, blind in his left eye, tied with a black cloth to cover it, and looks like he has a patch on his face from a distance. The affairs of the Black Wind Rudder are generally managed by him with Su Yun's assistance, and the activities of the rudder are also managed by him. Seeing that Su Yu was angry, he quibbled and said: "Deputy helmsman, the position where Yuan Baozhong was standing at that time was exactly within the range of the artillery, and the angle was the best, the opportunity was once in a lifetime, and the helmsman also let us fire, I just followed the order." ”
Hearing him say this, Su Yu's anger did not decrease, put the long knife on Wang Tingli's neck, and yelled at him: "You are so bold, you injured my sister, in case she wants to make any mistakes, I will definitely let you pay for your life." ”
Wang Tingli found that Su Yu was really angry, and changed the topic and said, "I am loyal to the two helmsmen. Now Yuan Baozhong has let people surround Yuan Zhai like an iron bucket, and within three days, the village will be cut off from water and food, and the brothers will be starved to death. Second Miss, what are you going to do now? ”
After using the name of his father Su Tianfu to convene the remnants of the Twist Army, it has always been her sister Su Yun and Wang Tingli who are responsible for the affairs of the rudder, and her sister has been taking good care of Su Yu over the years, she is a little girl who does not know the world. In terms of retreating from the enemy, he had no experience at all, Wang Tingli asked, Su Yu was flustered, and he had no idea for a while, and put down the knife: "This... In your opinion? ”
Wang Tingli said: "Immediately wipe out all the old and young of the Yuan family, and desperately break through overnight, it's a big deal to break the net!" Otherwise, as soon as the reinforcements and red-clothed cannons from the Ming Dynasty arrived, we would become turtles in the urn. ”
Su Yu was worried about her sister's safety and said, "No, then my sister will be even more dangerous." I see that Yuan Baozhong cares about Mrs. Guo very much, and he will exchange my sister with her tomorrow, and then think about it in the long run. ”
"It's all burning your buttocks, you still only care about sisterhood, there are only more than 200 brothers in the village, what should I do with their net worth and surname?" Wang Tingli was furious and walked away.
At this time, Yuan Baozhong, who returned to the Xiangcheng Inn, also looked helpless and sighed. He has fought more than 100 battles with thieves in his life, and he has almost never lost, thanks to Song Xiaofei, this time he was in a big disaster, but his family was in the hands of thieves, and he attacked and threw rat bogeys, and there was no way to hide in a sneak attack, so he didn't know what to do for a while.
Song Xiaofei yawned, saw Yuan Baozhong's face was full of gloom, and stepped forward to ask, "Father, is there any weak point in Yuan Zhai that can break through first?" ”
"Weiting, are you too tired? Why don't you go and rest? These gates are all carefully designed, and the location of the six forts is excellent, and there are no dead ends within a radius of one or two miles around, and if they are attacked, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Yuan Baozhong replied, "Unless the officers and soldiers stationed in Xiangcheng send red-coated cannons to raze the six artillery towers of Yuan Zhai, we will attack again, and there is still a chance of victory, even so, we must fight quickly, otherwise the Yuan family will be in danger." ”
Song Xiaofei asked: "Why do you have to use a red-clothed cannon?" ”
Yuan Baozhong said: "The red-coated cannon is the most advanced artillery of the imperial court, with a range of up to five or six miles, the power is amazing, and it is good at attacking the city. ”
Song Xiaofei said: "Without further ado, please ask my father to repair the book quickly, I will try, and rushed to Wang Shoujian's barracks overnight to ask for red-coated artillery to help." ”
Twenty miles south of the city, dark clouds shrouded the bright moon, the earth was dark, a camp where Qing soldiers were stationed was silent, except for the soldiers who were patrolling the night, everyone else had already fallen asleep. Song Xiaofei carried Yuan Baozhong's greeting post, rode a black horse, rushed to the outside of the mansion of Wang Shoujian, the envoy of the Xuanzhi envoy stationed in Xiangcheng, picked up the mallet "dong dong" and knocked on the cowhide war drum next to the door.
Wang Shoujian was snoring with his concubine in his arms, sleeping soundly, and was woken up by the rapid sound of war drums in the middle of the night, very unhappy, and only half a day did he and his staff Wu Youlan come to the living room to see Song Xiaofei. Song Xiaofei glanced at Wang Shoujian, he was a martial artist, with a black and thick braid wrapped around his neck, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, thick eyebrows and big eyes, dressed in the military uniform of the Qing court, combat boots under his feet, and a sheath saber on his waist and hips. Wu Youlan is short and fat, with a big belly, and her eyes are narrowed into a slit.
After listening to Song Xiaofei's words, Wang Shoujian looked embarrassed, and excused himself: "There are regulations in the imperial court, if the local military attache wants to mobilize troops, he needs to report to the governor, and the official who sent the letter will go back and forth, three or five days if it is fast, ten or ten days if it is slow, you go back and wait for my news!" ”
Song Xiaofei said: "If you don't send troops to rescue me tonight, my family will have an accident, and I will sue the court to investigate your dereliction of duty!" ”
"A milky little kid dares to intimidate this official!" Wang Shoujian was furious and asked the two soldiers to take down Song Xiaofei and pull him out to beat twenty military sticks.
Song Xiaofei saw that Wang Shoujian was unreasonable, so he quickly counterattacked, knocked down the two soldiers, and fled. Wang Shoujian pulled out his saber and was about to chase him out, but Wu Youlan stopped him and said that there was something important to discuss.
In the inn, Yuan Baozhong listened to Song Xiaofei's statement, sighed and said, "This result is what I expected." Wang Shoujian found an excuse to delay and did not send troops to rescue us, so we had to find our own way. ”
At this time, Qiu Yi wore her hair and pushed the door in to deliver medicine to Yuan Baozhong. Song Xiaofei saw that Qiu Yi's figure was similar to Su Yun's, and his brows furrowed, thinking about it.
In the middle of the night, the bright moon gradually moved eastward, and the night was as cool as water. Su Yu in Yuan Zhai was lying on the bed, thinking about her sister. In the past, every time I went to sleep, my sister coaxed me, and sometimes told me the story of my father's bravery and good fighting. At the moment, she couldn't sleep alone, there was silence outside the window, and she could clearly hear her own breathing and heartbeat.
"Sister, sister."
Su Yu was in a trance and heard the call of his sister outside the house. She got dressed and opened the door and followed the sound, but the sound came from outside the village. She went to the turret to see that her sister "Su Yun" was outside the gate of the village, riding on a horse with a cloak, and under her crotch was Su Yun's white horse.
Su Yu saw that her sister was wearing a black short coat, as if she had just escaped from the city, she hurriedly opened the gate of the wall, rode a horse to greet her, and when she approached, "Su Yun's" horse suddenly ran away. Su Yu rode a black horse to chase after him, and after a while, he unconsciously ran out of two or three miles and entered a small forest.
At this time, a crow "Wow" flew over Su Yu's head, and the black horse under her crotch suddenly raised its head and neighed, with a sad voice. It turned out that there was a black tripping rope on the mountain road. The horse stumbled, Su Yu quickly jumped off the horse and fell.
"Can you take a closer look at who she really is now?" Song Xiaofei suddenly jumped out of the grove, followed by more than a dozen people in black, holding pine oil torches.
It turned out that seeing Su Yu's painful expression on his sister's face when he witnessed his sister's injury in front of the village, Song Xiaofei knew that they had a deep sisterhood, so he asked Qiu Yi to dress up as Su Yun, pretend to escape back to the cottage, and lure Su Yu out of the village to capture him.
"Despicable!!" Sister Su Yusi was heartbroken, she was fooled, it was too late to run back, she took out two darts from her waist, shook her hand, and "swished" twice, and the two black-clothed brothers behind Song Xiaofei fell to the ground.
Song Xiaofei didn't expect this sister to be as brave and fierce as her sister, and she went to fight Su Yu in person. The two of them fought for a few rounds, Song Xiaofei rolled down a long slope with Su Yu in his arms, the two of them hugged him, turning over and over, and finally, Song Xiaofei pressed Su Yu under him.
At this time, more than a dozen family members from Yuan Zhai came with pine oil torches, Song Xiaofei let go of Su Yun, and four or five family members worked together to subdue her and tie her back to Xiangcheng Inn.
Yuan Baozhong was overjoyed when he saw that Song Xiaofei had captured Su Yu, and clapped his hands and shouted "The willows are dark and the flowers are bright"! Based on his past experience in suppressing bandits, Su Tianfu's two daughters were captured, and the twisted thieves in the village were leaderless.
