Ji'an Mansion Yamen side hall.

Chen Yucheng's brows furrowed, and the scar on his face was even more fierce.

There are two people standing at the bottom, on the left is a young man, fair-skinned, looking extremely smart, it is the cousin of the King of England, called Zhang Chaojue; The first person on the right, also not very old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and strong, exuding a fierce and brave atmosphere, is called Liu Changlin, the king's childhood playmate.

Liang Chengfu was trapped in Ningdu by Jingxiang, which made the king of England unexpected, this Manchu demon, as the legend is unpredictable, just arrived in Jiangxi, it was compelling.

Liu Changlin clenched his fists and said loudly: "Lord Wang! The last general is willing to lead his team of swordsmen and foreign spearmen to relieve the siege of Ningdu! and Brother Liang should be in harmony with the outside, and the head of Jing Xiang must be taken! "Even if there are thousands of troops, the king of England has never hesitated like this, he really can't help it, Jingxiang, what's the big deal?

The king shook his head, Liu Chang Lin Yong was brave, but he was impulsive and didn't use his brain, that Jingxiang, the best at besieging the headquarters to set up ambush reinforcements, I heard that this is called "encirclement and reinforcement", I want to repeat the old tricks, Ji'an went to Ningdu on the path, I think I have already buried the ambush.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, King Ying said coldly: "If you surround the point to help, I will surround Wei to save Zhao." He stood up and said, "Prepare to gather military horses, set off tonight, and attack Ganzhou!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Changlin agreed loudly, as soon as he said that there was no battle to fight, he was itching all over, as for which city to fight, it didn't matter, the king of England had no last resort, and he must have already made a plan.

The king looked at Zhang Chaojue again, his eyes were like electricity, and he saw Zhang Chaojue's heart skip a beat, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

The King of England stared at him for a while, and said lightly: "Pleasure is easy, and suffering is endless." You know that, right? ”

"Yes." Zhang Chaojue rolled his eyes, raised his head and said with a smile: "I can't hide anything from the prince, then Suzhou Pingdan, I know you like to listen to it, so I called into the house." Lord Wang, the battle between you and the Qing Demon is imminent, isn't it a great pleasure to listen to that commentary and concentrate on it? "This cousin is simple and poor, and even less lustful, several stunning princesses, including the first beautiful concubine among the kings, are all supported by themselves and others, life is like this, what is the fun? But the only joy of this royal brother is that he likes to listen to a tune or something.

"Lord Wang, come with me." Zhang Chaojue salivated, and had the courage to drag the king's arm, among the king's subordinates, he had the courage, and turned to Liu Changlin and said, "Brother Liu, you also come along." ”

The king frowned slightly, but since his parents died when he was a child, Zhang Chaojue had a very strong relationship with him, and it was not easy to reprimand him, so he listened to it. Thinking of the letter written to himself by King Zhong, he said that he was short of people and nepotism. Chen Yucheng shook his head, perhaps, he really said it.

Zhang Chaojue and the King of England live in the same Yamen, out of the flower hall, along the stone slab past the crescent moon gate, turn left, the east across the courtyard is Zhang Chaojue's residence.

At this time, I saw that there were seven or eight artists in the courtyard, with gongs, drums, and suona, and a beautiful woman sitting on the soft pier with a pipa in her arms.

"The King has arrived!"

As the soldiers shouted, all the artists got up one after another.

At the signal of Zhang Chaojue, there were already soldiers who moved over the sandalwood chair covered with plush yellow tiger skin, and the king of England sat in the middle, waiting for the sound of the pipa like a pearl falling on the jade plate, the king slowly closed his eyes, yes, there are too many things to think about, Ganzhou, will Jingxiang set up an ambush?

At this time, at the head of Ningdu City, Liang Chengfu looked at the rifles erected hundreds of steps away from the city with a gloomy face, and behind the rifle team, the elders were digging trenches, obviously Jingxiang was preparing for a protracted battle and trapped the thousands of soldiers in the city here.

"How much food can last?" Liang Chengfu turned his head sideways and asked the white-faced general beside him.

The general didn't dare to answer, Liang Chengfu snorted coldly, knowing the answer.

The white-faced general looked at the city and whispered: "Marshal, I heard that Jingxiang is the best at besieging and ambushing the city, it seems that he will not launch a strong attack for a while." ”

Liang Cheng Fusen's cold voice: "I won't teach him Ruyi!" Yao pointed to Jing Xiangshuai Qi and said: "Huangkou Xiaoer, you will die without a place to be buried!" He shouted in a low voice: "Pass me on the pro-saber team!" "Liang Chengfu's five hundred school swordsmen are all elite in the army, not afraid of death, each with one to resist a hundred, its wooden shield wrapped in iron, seems to be cumbersome, against foreign guns often receive miraculous results, breaking through the Youjiang battalion defense line more rely on its strength.

"Dashuai, it's better to attack at night." The white-faced generals were busy admonishing.

Liang Chengfu smiled coldly: "Night attack, do you know that I know Jingxiang?" Gather all the brothers, if you want to live, this is the only battle! He strode down.

The white-faced general was silent, and then nodded secretly, the handsome seems to be rough, but in fact the thick and fine, in the past few years, he has been born and died, how many times he has been in danger, but he has followed the red scarf flag flying high to fight a bloody road, the stronger the enemy, the more brave the handsome.

The south gate of Ningdu City suddenly opened, and in the earth-shattering shout, red turbans, tiger head shields, and murderous school knife hands swarmed out.

The first person, holding a heavy wooden shield, with a tall body hidden behind the shield, and a red tasseled steel knife in his hand, was Liang Chengfu.

Standing on a high hill in the distance, Ye Zhao watched this scene quietly with a clairvoyant mirror, made a gesture, and the flag soldiers immediately signaled.

In front of the trench, Jimbo's face was grim, and the riflemen scattered to find cover, but Jimbo's eyes were only fixed on the red-bronze wooden shield, and his eyes seemed to spew fire.

When the shield soldiers lined up in a long line gradually approached a hundred paces away, Jimbo shouted, "Shoot!" ”

"Bang Bang Bang" Smoke was scattered from the Shenbao Array, and gunfire was like rain.

"Dangdangdang", the iron shield was beaten loudly, someone in the front row snorted, and he was impacted by this sudden momentum, and his body involuntarily retreated, but he hit the shield in the back row, and someone fainted on the spot.

"Bang", someone tightly wrapped the cloth belt on the handle of the wooden shield collapsed, the tiger's mouth shook violently, the wooden shield fell out of his hand, and then "Bang Bang Bang" There were a few more blood holes on his body, and he fell to the ground screaming.

Several more wooden shields were broken, and the knife player immediately turned into a blood sieve.

"Stop!" Liang Chengfu shouted, knowing that if he went further, more wooden shields would inevitably be shattered.

The wooden shields fell one by one, forming a long array of shields.

The foreign gunners who followed closely behind the wooden shield immediately followed, put their guns on the shields, and shot at the Qing rifle team, but the opponent's unfinished trenches formed various bunkers, and its rifle team was also scattered, scattered in the bunkers, and by no means a linear battle, Liang Chengfu's foreign gunners were shot indiscriminately, but few could hit the target, but in the "bang" gunshots, the foreign gunners who emerged from time to time had someone's head burst into blood mist.

Liang Chengfu gritted his teeth and shouted: "Ready!" Gripping the steel knife, he was ready to push away the shield and lead the swordsmen to rush forward, dozens of steps, as long as dozens of steps, you can rush to the Qing army's formation.

"Boom, boom, boom", there was a sudden earth-shattering noise in the north, and the earth seemed to be shaking.

Liang Chengfu was stunned for a moment, and then listened to the sound of killing in the north.

"Handsome! Dashuai, the Qing demon came in from the north gate......" A small colonel rode his horse and rushed over, shouted two words, was shot in his body, and fell off his horse.

Liang Chengfu sneered in his heart, it turned out that he was attacking the west, but what if the city was broken by you? Today, it is to smash the golden lock and walk away the dragon! Shouted: "Ready! ”

With only a few dozen steps, you can enter the Qing army formation and fight a bloody way.

"Bang bang bang", the sound of gunfire suddenly became ten times denser than just now, and those long men suddenly became riflemen, who were hiding in the trench one by one, behind the mound, but now they all took out their rifles and shot bang.

Liang Chengfu's face finally changed, if he attacked strongly, he was afraid that no one would be able to rush through the rain of bullets.

In the screams, the shield could not withstand the dense rain of bullets, and the knife players fell to the ground one after another.

"Withdraw!" Liang Chengfu roared, and now he said that he had to go back to the city to fight in the streets and find a good solution.

"Coaxing", the bandits were already frightened, but they didn't dare to act rashly because of Liang Chengfu's torture, so they immediately turned around and ran.

The knife player is well-trained, pulling the shield and retreating a little, although from time to time someone falls to the ground, it is still a well and then retreats, as long as you maintain the formation, you can gradually withdraw from the opponent's range.

"Hmm", the long and thick horn sounded, and Jimpo rose first, the bayonet in his hand shining, and hundreds of snow-bright bayonets poured up like a tide, drowning the bandits almost instantly.

The knife players were caught off guard, almost all of them were divided and surrounded, and there was a moment when his head did not turn, and the cold bayonet quickly wiped over his neck, and there were those who quickly threw down their shields and swung their swords and fought bloodily, but where could they help the bayonets to be flexible and good at fighting? The bayonet stabbed at the front and back, left and right, and was immediately pierced into a blood gourd.

"Bang bang", and the rifleman shot the revolver at close range, knocking down the fierce and stubborn knife player.

"Hmph", Liang Chengfu just cut down a rifleman, and he was hit with a heavy kick in the chest, and immediately his eyes went black, he snorted, and took a few steps back, but there was a red-faced man standing in front of him, who was Shenbao.

Shen Bao waved his hand to signal the bayonets in a circle to step aside, and strode towards Liang Chengfu.

Liang Chengfu gritted his teeth and clenched the steel knife in his hand.

"Hey!" Without waiting for Shenbao to approach, he suddenly burst into trouble, took a few steps, slashed away, Shenbao shouted, like a thunderbolt, did not retreat but advanced, the bayonet in his hand stabbed out, "ding", the latter came first, in the middle of Liang Chengfu's wrist, Liang Chengfu snorted, his left hand took the knife fiercely, and he stabbed backhand, Shenbao hurriedly retreated, and a strand of hair fluttered down.

Liang Chengfu didn't look at the bubbling and bleeding right hand, but just stared at Shenbao tightly, and his left hand clenched the handle of the knife hard.

Shen Bao said coldly: "It's just a fierce and brave dog!" ”

Liang Chengfu's eyes were like about to breathe fire, and he hissed: "You are just a dog of Jingxiang!" Lao Tzu has conquered the world and killed countless people, and now he will not regret his death! ”

As he spoke, the steel knife was wiped off his neck, and Shen Bao was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to save him, and the commander ordered that this bandit should be captured alive.

Seeing Shenbao hurriedly step forward, Liang Chengfu showed a cruel smile in his eyes, and the knife in his hand was about to be cut out, but it turned out to be a plan to lure the enemy.

Who knows, but he saw Shen Bao smile slightly, and then felt a sharp pain in his wrist, the steel knife snapped to the ground, and he looked down blankly, and a dagger slashed across his left wrist.

"Bang", Shen Bao kicked him down and shouted: "Tie up this stupid pig and send it to the big handsome's tent!" ”

"Wow!" The soldiers agreed in unison, and the cheers shook the sky.

Liang Chengfu did not struggle, let the soldiers be bound, fighting wits and strength, but now they all fell behind, looking at the sword players who were surrounded by corpses, his eyes were red, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Shenbao, and asked in a hissed voice: "Who are you?" ”

"Jimbo yes!" Jimbo stepped on his horse sideways, raised his whip and said, "Issue, the bandit leader has been captured!" ”

In the silk shop, the little girl secretly looked out through the crack in the window, but saw that on the street, those fierce and vicious people fled with panic on their faces, and the north and south sides were filled with murderous sounds.

"Sister." The toddler who was dozing suddenly opened his eyes, and the little girl hurriedly shushed, walked back cautiously, and whispered, "Don't talk, you know?" ”

"Bang bang" heavy footsteps, two big men rushed into the silk line, and it was the red turban and the flower turban.

The little girl was so frightened that she hurriedly squatted down and gently hugged her brother.

"Damn, it's over, it's over, Dashuai has been arrested!" Flower turbans stomp their feet again and again.

"Nonsense! Qing demon rumors and chaos in the hearts of the army, you don't understand the this! The red turban said as he trained the foreign gun that he didn't know where to pick it up.

"Then you say, where is the big handsome? The Jingxiang's people have all gone into the city! The flower turban sighed, and suddenly turned his head, and he snorted, "Damn, the evil surname, why did you run here again." ”

"Less suspicious!" The red turban scolded, looked out, and said to himself: "Damn, slaughtering one is enough, slaughtering two to earn one, today look at who doesn't hit Lao Tzu's muzzle with long eyes...... Jing Xiang ...... "The last words trembled.

"Come over the and take a look, is the one from the north riding a horse Jingxiang?" The red turban turned around, and saw that the flower turban was talking to himself and didn't know what gods and Buddhas he was chanting, so he was so angry that he gave him a kick.

"I, I haven't seen him again......" The flower turban finally stiffened her neck unconvinced.

The red turban poked his head out, looked at it a few more times, and his voice trembled: "I haven't seen it before, look at the magnificent clothes!" ”

"Yes, yes!" The red turban retracted his head, sat under the window lattice, trembled excitedly, gritted his teeth, and scolded: "Damn, kill him, Lao Tzu's life is worth it!" His eyes were getting hot, his rifle was clenched in his hand, the muzzle of the gun peeked out of the lattice, his eyes were staring out, and his breathing became rapid.

Jingxiang? The little girl opened her mouth in surprise, that is, is this the person these villains are most afraid of? Do they want to hurt him?

Outside, the sound of horses' hooves gradually sounded.

"Jingxiang, die!" The red turban muttered fiercely, and he didn't know whether he was excited or scared, and his hands trembled violently.

"Three, two......" the red turban counted.

Seeing that he was about to shout "one", the little girl suddenly shouted: "Be careful, there are villains here!" ”

Just when the little girl opened her mouth and didn't make a sound, there was already a "bang" gunshot, and when the little girl finished shouting, the red turban and flower turban were already lying in a pool of blood, and there were several bloody holes on their bodies.

Just when the little girl was frightened, but there were a few more hideous men in front of the meeting, the little girl screamed, and she felt out the bamboo hairpin, but she had already been snatched by the big man, holding her neck with one hand, and her brother's neck with the other, and carrying her two out, the little girl struggled, and bit hard on the big man's hand, the big man just smiled, and was not angry.

"You just shouted?" Ye Zhao's face was solemn, he had just seen the tragic situation in the city all the way, and his heart was like a stone, and he couldn't breathe.

But suddenly seeing that there were two children, and the little girl bit Bakshi's hand even more unrelentingly, Ye Zhao couldn't help but be amused, and the gloom in his heart dissipated a little.

"You, are you Jingxiang?" The little girl turned her head, looked at this beautiful big brother, and suddenly blessed her heart, and asked in a low voice.

The guard on his side looked embarrassed, and the handsome man was called by his name, but after all, this was a young child who did not know etiquette, and he had suffered a lot in the city, and it was not easy to survive.

"Yes." Ye Zhao smiled and asked, "You don't have to be afraid, we are not bad people!" When he looked at it, he held out his hand to Baksh and said, "Give it to me." ”

Bakshi hesitated slightly, but still handed the two children over, Ye Zhaoyi hugged the horse left and right, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, in the future, I won't go through this again." ”

"I'm not afraid, I know you're a good person." The little girl nodded happily, since she heard the name Jingxiang yesterday, her little heart regarded it as a hope to live, as a hope, hoping that the big hero named Jingxiang would quickly drive away these thieves, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.

"What about your parents?" Ye Zhao asked with a glimmer of hope, after all, he knew his name, was it told by his parents, and he was waiting for him to come in?

"It's gone." The little girl's eyes darkened, she bit her lip and slowly lowered her head.

Ye Zhao didn't say anything more, gently hugged the two of them, walked forward with the belly of the horse, saw the miserable scene in the city, stretched out his hand to cover the eyes of the two children, and said gently: "Close your eyes, don't look." ”

Then it occurred to me that these two children, especially this sister, could not see the hellish situation in the city?

How cruel are these children in troubled times?

"Let's go! Hurry up! "A team of riflemen over there pushed and shoved a fierce man, it was Liang Chengfu.

Seeing the Jingxiang horse team, Liang Chengfu strode over, stopped a few steps in front of Ye Zhaoma, and stood proudly.

"Hmm", perhaps because of the sensitivity of the child, he could feel Liang Chengfu's murderous and fierce aura, and the young child suddenly cried in fright.

Liang Chengfu looked up to the sky and laughed, and said to Ye Zhao with an arrogant face: "Huangkou Shaft, I think I am a hero of Liang Chengfu, and I have killed countless people!" Children don't dare to sleep at night when they hear my name! The people of Anhui and Zhejiang saw me lying on the ground for three miles! Now I will die without regrets! It's just a pity to die in the hands of your powerless little white face, ridiculous, ridiculous! He burst out laughing.

Ye Zhao looked at him, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and said lightly: "Fortunately, Ben Shuai is not a hero in your eyes, you have killed countless people, I only hope that I will save countless people in the future, I only hope that this tragedy in Ningdu City will never be staged, I only hope that you heroes will be punished, and call them ......" Pointing to the two young children in his arms, "so that these children can grow up happily by their parents' side." Hero? He smiled and rode away.

The smile on Liang Chengfu's face froze, gradually dissipated, stood for a long time, and walked silently under the push of the soldiers, no longer having the arrogant spirit of looking left and right, as if suddenly, he had aged for ten years.
