Chapter 41: Robbery to save people
The night was already very deep, but Yang Hao had no intention of sleeping, and Zhang Yi's sudden killing made him feel a chill that penetrated his heart and lungs.
There are only two kinds of people who want to kill Zhang Yi: the Thorn Horse Battalion or the Shence Army itself. It is possible that the Assassin Horse Battalion will send someone to assassinate him in order to retaliate against Zhang Yi for capturing Han Yue and the Dragoon Guard, but it doesn't make sense here, the capture of Han Yue and the Dragoon Guard is his own face, Zhang Yi has always been hiding behind his back, acting as his own subordinate, and this account of the Assassin Horse Battalion should be counted on his own head.
At that time, he and Zhang Yi were both sitting in the lobby, only a few feet away from each other, with the precise archery of the assassin, the feather arrow should have been shot at him first or at least killed by the way, but the assassin shot seven or eight arrows, but none of them hit him, and the eight ironclad guards who guarded him brought themselves out unscathed.
Yang Hao concluded that it was the Shence Army that killed Zhang Yi in order to kill people and kill people, and they were ruthless to settle the account of capturing Han Yue and the dragoon guards and bringing down Duan Yizhi on their heads! People are so strange, people often hate their own internal traitors more than enemies, as long as this account is confirmed, the Thorn Horse Battalion will vent a hatred on their heads, such as Duan Yizhi and others will hate the Thorn Horse Camp by the way while recording the account on their own heads. And the real culprit behind the scenes, Qiu Shiliang can be wiped out. Qiu Shiliang dug a pit and tricked himself into jumping in.
Han Yue will be escorted to Dali Temple tomorrow for trial, as the sword of the stabbing horse battalion, he knows too many secrets. It stands to reason that Qiu Shiliang should detain him in the Zuojun prison until he gets everything they want from his mouth, but now he is uncharacteristically hurried to send him to Dali Temple. What's the point?
Yang Hao thought about it, or there was only one way: use Han as bait to lure out the rest of his party, and catch them all!
Yang Hao thought of this, what should he do, how can he tell them that this is a trap and must not do it?
"Your Excellency. There are guests outside the door asking to see them. The personal guard's words interrupted Yang Hao's thoughts. Yang Hao frowned, who else came to see me at such a late hour, and what was even more surprising was that who could easily come in the camp of the Left Army, which was so heavily guarded.
"Yes, please." Yang Hao hid a short knife in his sleeve and greeted the door.
The man who came was wearing a black cloak and a beard with sideburns, and his eyes looked like a person. Yang Hao was suddenly startled, and was about to speak, when someone came to speak first: "What's the matter, when you become a school captain, you don't know your cousin?" Yang Hao pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said: "I really can't recognize it after not seeing it for two years." Why did you come so late, you can use it for dinner. As he spoke, he called the personal guard: "Prepare two dishes, I want to drink with my cousin." ”
After sending the guards out, Yang Hao exclaimed, "Nian, how can you come here? ”
The person who came was Shi Nianhao, the former chief of the Jinwu Guard, but he originally only had three locks of beard, but now he has changed his makeup to sideburns.
"How can I see you if I'm not here?" Nian Hao took off his cloak as he spoke, and sat down generously.
"The general's business ......" Yang Hao was about to explain, but was interrupted by Nian Hao.
"I'm here to tell you that tomorrow morning we will rescue the general in Fanjiawa, and I want you to do it when the time comes."
Yang Hao burst into tears when he heard this: "Do you believe that I am not a traitor?" ”
"Framing you as a traitor was done by Li Xun's villain. This scum, the whole plan has ruined him! Nian Hao said hatefully, he turned to Yang Hao and said: "It is Li Xun who framed you as a traitor, the chief manager doesn't know, we all believe that you are a loyal minister, and the chief manager also tried to let you take refuge in the Tiande army, alas, I don't want Qiu Shiliang to target you." He is using you, and when he finishes using you, you will die like Zhang Yi without a place to bury. ”
Yang Hao, who said this, was sweating profusely, "What should I do, my lord?" ”
At this time, the guard brought two side dishes and a pot of wine, filled the cup with wine, and withdrew.
Nian Hao lowered his voice and said: "Tomorrow, you do the internal response and rescue General Han, the general manager will arrange for you to take refuge in Guangnan, and we will try to save the old lady." ”
"This ......" Yang Hao stopped talking, looked outside the door, lowered his voice and said: "In my humble opinion, this may be a poisonous plan set up by Qiu Shiliang, using the general as bait to lure us out of the net." Nian Hao patted Yang Hao gently, and sighed silently: "It's rare that you can see it so thoroughly, but now, you have to jump off even if you know that this is a fire pit." The general opened his mouth in case ......" Nian Hao smiled bitterly and did not continue.
It could be seen that they had no confidence in Han Yue, Nian Hao drank a glass of wine and said with a wry smile: "The chief manager has an order, tomorrow no matter what, the general must be rescued, otherwise...... It's all up to you. ”
"Rely on me to ......" Yang Hao's heart suddenly cold, Nian Hao's words couldn't be clearer, Han Yue had to save it, because he knew too many secrets, and this person was not a tough guy. If you can't save him, all that's left is to kill people.
After drinking for a while and agreeing on the details of the rescue, Nian Hao put on a black cloak and disappeared into the night.
……
Hu Longhai sent three brigades to escort Han Yue to Dali Temple. After Zhang Yi's death, Yang Hao temporarily took the position of his brigade commander and directly commanded two teams of 100 soldiers to clear the road and patrol the periphery. Hu Longhai and Captain Mingdong led 200 people to escort the prisoner car.
About a mile out of the camp, there is a place called Hanjiawa, the terrain is like a basin, high around and low in the middle. This is a good place to set up an ambush, and the only downside is that it is too close to the left camp. However, there are two sides to everything, and it is precisely because of the proximity to the camp of the left army that it is easy for people to lose their due vigilance.
As soon as the prisoner cart entered the bottom of the depression, an arrow flew out of the pine forest on the side, shooting down Hu Longhai who was riding on a horse. Everyone rushed to the rescue, Hu Longhai covered his injured arm and screamed: "Leave me alone!" Occupy the dirt slope on the west side. "Hu Longhai has been in the frontier for many years, and he is indeed not an idle person, and he is not chaotic at all when he suddenly faces the enemy.
After Yang Hao led people to occupy the dirt slope, he saw dozens of armor soldiers ambushed in the black pine forest, and secretly shocked in his heart: "Nian Hao has confessed that the people who came to rob the prisoner car are all plainclothes, and these armor soldiers must be Qiu Shiliang's people." So he drew his sword and urged the army to cover up and kill him. Lin Hongwei, the team leader next to him, hurriedly dissuaded: "That's my own person." Yang Hao kicked him to the ground and scolded: "As a captain, I don't know that there are people here, but you know?" So you're the mole? With that, he slashed him down with a knife and shouted, "Whoever dares to cooperate with the enemy will be the end." ”
Yang Hao waved his troops forward. When the soldiers saw that there were few people in the forest, they all regarded it as a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and they chased very hard.
At this time, the two hundred samurai in civilian clothes hiding in the pine forest were pressed down in two ways, east and west. Hu Longhai and Myeongdong also have more than 200 people around them, and the soldiers are all veterans of actual combat, and if they let go of the battle, the chances of victory are very high. Besides, this place is not far from the main camp of the Shence army, and as soon as the battle starts, the sound of killing will be along, and it will not be long before the reinforcements of the large battalion will arrive.
But at this critical moment, Myeongdong made a fatal mistake, and he hurriedly led the men and horses of his headquarters to escort the prisoner cart to the direction of the camp. When the troops retreated, the morale of the army was in turmoil, and the soldiers suddenly lost their fighting spirit.
The robbers were divided into two routes, the east road cut off the retreat route of Myeongdong, and the west road was inserted into the middle of Myeongdong and Hu Longhai in a wedge-shaped formation, isolating the two. At this time, the second group of robbers appeared, the number was only more than 30 people, but all of them were hard hands, and they suddenly killed from the pine forest road in the north, and Hu Longhai pounced on them. There were only more than 30 people left around Hu Longhai, and soon after the battle, he was defeated, and Hu Longhai was stabbed eight times and captured alive.
Seeing this, Mingdong shouted: "If you can't rush out, you can only die, follow me!" In order to save their lives, the soldiers suddenly had high morale, escorted the prisoner car and drove a bloody road to the camp of the left army, and at this time the horn of the left army camp also sounded.
At this critical moment, the third group of robbers came out of the pine forest, the number was only a few five, holding sharp blades and wearing civilian clothes, five people stopped on the way to retreat to the left army camp in Myeongdong, lined up, killed every person, and was extremely agile, and it was hard to block more than 200 people in Myeongdong in Hanjiawa with the strength of five people.
Mingdong was in chaos, and the soldiers around him had no fighting spirit. At this time, an archer jumped out of the pine forest, and Wangding Myeongdong fired seven arrows in succession, killing three guards around Myeongdong and four guards guarding the prisoner car. The Shence army was in chaos, and the remaining soldiers surrounded Myeongdong, leaving the prisoner car and fleeing for their lives.
The robbers rescued Han Yue, put Hu Longcustoms into the prisoner car, poured some black oil on the prison car and set it on fire. This fire is the signal agreed between Nian Hao and Yang Hao, and when he saw the thick smoke, Yang Hao shouted badly, "Mo hit the plan to transfer the tiger from the mountain", so he hurriedly took his subordinates to kill him back. At this time, Han Jiawa was only left with corpses all over the ground and a prisoner cart that had been burned to black charcoal.
