Chapter 161: Zhaojiazhuang
Sunset, red glow, drizzle.
Valleys, treacherous roads.
At this time, there was a large army galloping in the valley, their heads wrapped in green scarves, their chests exposed, armed with knives, guns and clubs, carefully escorting hundreds of thousands of stones and grass transported from the cottage. The first one, eight feet tall and with a fierce face, was now carrying a large sword on his shoulder, walking at the front of the army, and the chest hair exposed on his chest was shining with a strange glow in the light of the setting sun.
Seeing that he could walk out of the valley in two miles, the leading man was overjoyed in his heart, and urged loudly: "Everyone work hard, strive to transport the grain back to Zhaozhuang before dark, and the head of the family will have a heavy reward!" ”
Before the army of grain and grass could agree, suddenly a drum sounded, and a group of men and horses were killed in the oblique stab.
The leader of the general has a black-maned horse under his crotch, a fifty or sixty pound dragon pattern knife in his hand, he is burly, handsome, and his voice is like a Hong Zhong: "Haha, I've been waiting here for a long time, and the thief is not going to be arrested soon?" ”
The big man led by roared angrily, slapped his horse and danced his knife to meet him: "The thief will be crazy, Chen Cang Lu Jie is here"
Gan Ning sneered: "You are disguised as a thief, robbing the people, there are many crimes, evil thieves, eat a certain knife", after speaking, he slapped the horse and danced the knife to meet him, and the two horses intersected and killed a piece.
In the valley, the shouts of killing were loud, the arrows flew wildly, the rolling stones fell violently, and the two thousand elites of Bingzhou, under the leadership of Wei Xu, covered up from the hillside and killed, killing the bandits who held the grain in chaos.
In the crowd, the two generals fought for more than 20 rounds, Lu Jie was cowardly, and he wanted to leave, Gan Ning wanted to chop the thief's head into meat puree, how could he escape, and then beat the horse to chase, the two horses were close, Gan Ning slashed at Lu Jie's back with a knife, and cut him off the horse.
Gan Ning slapped his horse to catch up, put the head in his hand, and shouted loudly: "The thief is dead, why don't the thieves surrender quickly?" ”
Gan Ning carried Lu Liang's head back and forth in the chaotic army, as if entering a no-man's land, majestic, and the thieves were all frightened when they saw it.
Seeing the death of the leader, the bandits were leaderless, coupled with low morale, they resisted indiscriminately for a while, more than 700 people died, 100 escaped, and the rest surrendered on their knees.
Looking at the bandits who kowtowed like garlic, Wei Xupai immediately stepped forward and asked Gan Ning: "Xingba, how to deal with these pawns?" ”
Gan Ning sneered: "I suggest killing them all, I don't know what Qiu Sheng wants?" ”
Wei Xu grinned: "A certain is exactly what he wants!" ”
The two hit it off, and immediately ordered to besiege and kill the bandits who surrendered, and got the orders of the two generals, and the state army swarmed up, cutting the kneeling bandits beyond recognition, turning them into a bloody lump of flesh.
Gan Ning and Wei Xu robbed hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass, and immediately led the army to protect the grain and grass and rushed back to the camp in Bingzhou, and Zhang Liao also received scouts to explore horses, and hundreds of bandits fled to a fortress in the east of Hanxing City, Zhang Liao immediately made a decision, and immediately led 5,000 elite soldiers to roll away.
All the way galloping, under the leadership of the scouts, the army is getting closer and closer to the fortress, and the sky is gradually darkening, walking three or five miles, you will see a fortress-shaped village, surrounded by an earthen wall in a circle, the houses and grass houses are surrounded in it, the earthen wall is about three or four zhang high, there are arrow battlements and lookout holes on it, and there are pillboxes, it can be seen that this fortress has a certain defensive ability.
A wide stream circles the village, playing the role of a moat, and the gate of the village is made of blue bricks, looking from a distance, the momentum is extraordinary, and it feels that the defense here is even higher than that of Hanxing City.
At this moment, the sky has completely darkened, the fortress has been closed to the villagers, the suspension bridge has been pulled up, and dozens of Zhuang Ding can be seen patrolling back and forth on the city gate tower in the distance, and the three big characters 'Zhaojiazhuang' can also be clearly seen on the city gate.
The current head of Zhaojiazhuang, named Zhao Shi, is a very prestigious and powerful man in this Hanxing realm, most of the wealthy landlords are looking at his horse, and the total number of diners, Zhuang Ding, private soldiers, and farmers under his door is not less than 3,000 people, but at this time Zhao Shi has no longer the majesty of the past, and is anxiously pacing back and forth in the hall, restless.
Just when Zhao Shi had nothing to do, a diner from Zhaozhuang ran in outside, and the diner wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said in a hurry: "Owner, the big thing is not good, Zhaozhuang's east gate has gathered a large number of people, and the flag looks like Zhang Liao's Bingzhou army."
"How many are there?" Zhao Shi was frightened and immediately asked.
The diner snorted: "About five or six thousand people, I saw that the outside of our village was already a black oppression, and the bright knives and guns were snow-white, the owner of the village, it seems that what we did was exposed, and the owner of the village quickly wanted to pay attention."
A nine-foot-tall man beside Zhao Shi came to the diner, and without saying a word, he drew his knife and cut the diner into two pieces, Zhao Shi's face twitched, and he asked, "Lu Liang, why did you kill him?" ”
The doorman called Lu Liang sneered: "Zhuang Master, since the matter has been revealed, now we can only defend Zhao Zhuang to the death, and then send people to contact other families to block Zhang Liao together, and this person is worried about death, and it is a disaster to keep it." ”
"That's it, it's a big deal"
Now that it's too late to escape, Zhao Shi simply decided to fight to the death with Zhang Liao, and Zhao Zhuangcheng is high and generous, Zhang Liao may not be able to capture it. After finalizing the attention, Zhao Shi immediately sent people to beat gongs and drums, and summoned the young and middle-aged people in Zhao Zhuang to climb the city tower to defend themselves, this Zhao Zhuang, Zhao Shi's diners, Zhuang Ding, and private soldiers were only about 1,000 people, and the rest were all farmers in his captivity. So in order to let these peasants work for him, Zhao Shi has already released a word that as long as the officials and soldiers are dismissed, they will be exempted from land rent for one year. All of a sudden, Zhao Zhuang immediately became a pot of porridge, and all the young and middle-aged people took up arms one after another and climbed the tower of Zhao Zhuang.
Under the illumination of thousands of torches, the surroundings of Zhaozhuang were illuminated as daylight, Zhang Liao's crotch and the state of Dawan horse, holding a tiger's head knife, pointed at Zhao Shi on the city tower and angrily reprimanded: "Evil thief, you actually sent diners to pretend to be thieves to loot Hanxing City, your evil deeds are outrageous, and now you still want to defend the fort, you really don't know whether to live or die, I persuade you to surrender the city, otherwise on the day of the village, kill all your family and children, in order to pay tribute to the spirit of the people of Hanxing in the sky"
Zhang Liao's voice is like a bell, like thunder and lightning, his words fell into everyone's ears word by word, except for Zhao Shi's diner Zhuang Ding, the rest of the people heard it, because they were to avoid the bandits and took refuge in Zhao Shi, and now they heard the general outside the village say that the bandit was pretended to be the owner's doorman, they couldn't believe it.
Feeling the chaos of the people around him, Zhao Shise roared inwardly: "Don't listen to this nonsense, how can the owner of this village do such a thing, you just need to guard the manor for a certain person, this year a certain will not only not collect your land rent, but also reward each family with fifty stones of grain."
The so-called 'people die for money, birds die for food', hearing that Zhao Shi wants to reward everyone with food, it immediately caused a burst of cheers from the owner.
Zhang Liao shook his head in disappointment, since they were looking for death, it was no wonder that he was not guilty, and with a wave of his big hand at the moment, he immediately ordered the army to attack
ps: Group number, it seems that no one has added it, it's embarrassing, there is wood.
