Chapter 46: Sleepless Nights! (5)

"Unbelievable...... Unbelievable! ”

Xu Chang, the general of the Niu Zhu Army, stared at the direction of the South City Gate with wide eyes, and stared at the person he thought was already a brother of the First Army, the former general of the Jinling Tianquan Army under Wei Hu's account, Luo Qing.

"Why? Why?! Luo Qingβ€”β€”!! ”

Xu Chang roared with exhaustion, he thought that Zhou General Liao Li would be able to catch his breath after arriving in time to support, but he never thought that someone would stab them in the back, and what was even more unbelievable was that the person who stabbed him in the back was actually the general of the brother army of Jinling Tianquan.

"......" Luo Qing stood at the south gate with his arms crossed, quite a general's demeanor. But it could be seen that he was inevitably a little ashamed in his heart, because his eyes when he looked at the withered sheep and Xu Chang and the others obviously flickered and evaded.

"Is it Wu Heng's order?"

With the support of his confidants and guards, the withered sheep who had been sitting on the ground resting and panting slowly stood up and asked Luo Qingdao with a solemn expression. Because of his anger, his words obviously had a hint of questioning and accusation.

Facing the question of the withered sheep, the guilt in Luo Qing's eyes became more and more intense, and after taking a deep breath, he nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes!" - Wu Shuai told me to do this! ”

"Wu Shuai?" Hearing this, the withered sheep sneered, and sneered, "Wu Heng treats you like that, do you still call him Wu Shuai?" - Ah Hu was loyal to him during his lifetime, but what was the result? Wu Heng discarded this affection very casually, and ruthlessly broke up your Tianquan Army...... Have you forgotten all this?! ”

Hearing this, Luo Qing shook his head and corrected, "Wu Shuai once explained to me about this matter, all the seemingly unfair treatment of my Tianquan Army is designed and laid out, in order to plot against you!" -- It was you withered sheep who betrayed me, and the Taiping Army was the first! I believe that even if Wei Shuai is resurrected, he will make the same choice as the last general! ”

"You guy......" Xu Chang was furious and was about to scold, but was stopped by the withered sheep raising his hand.

"Is it really just design and layout?" Taking a step forward, Withered Sheep said. "A few days ago, when I withered sheep and led everyone to join Guangling, you were also in the army, you should know that if I withered sheep had the heart to switch to the Zhou army at that time, why did I bring you to Guangling? Wouldn't it be better to go straight to the Zhou army at that time? ”

"......" Luo Qing hesitated when he heard this, then frowned and said, "Wu Shuai once said, that's just your plan to pave the way for joining the Zhou army!" -- You can wipe out my Taiping Army in one fell swoop, and I think that your withered sheep can also get the forgiveness of the Zhou court, and increase the official to the knighthood, right? ”

"You fart!" Xu Chang couldn't bear it anymore. After scolding. With his weapons in hand, he was about to rush forward.

See here. Luo Qing raised his eyebrows, and his right hand was raised suddenly, hanging high.

In an instant, the Taiping army and the former Jinling sergeant with him suddenly made a posture to meet the enemy. On the walls of the South Gate, which had been taken by them. Countless crossbowmen aimed at the withered sheep and Xu Chang and the Niu Zhu soldiers under their command, and the defenders under the city also formed a strong and impregnable phalanx. Even Xu Chang was shocked by this solemn atmosphere and subconsciously stopped.

Because Xu Chang realized that Luo Qing was not joking, if he Xu Chang approached the South City Gate again, this person would definitely order an attack.

"Xu Chang, don't be impatient! - General Luo Qing, listen to the words of the withered sheep! ”

stepped forward and patted Xu Chang's shoulder, signaling him to be calm. The withered sheep looked at Luo Qing Zhengse and said, "General Luo Qing, my Niu Zhu Army and your Jinling Army have been in the same breath for three years, although there was a misunderstanding when I was in Jinling a few days ago, but it will not affect the friendship between our two armies......

"Misunderstanding?" Luo Qing laughed when he heard this. He shook his head slightly.

As if he had seen through Luo Qing's thoughts, the withered sheep asked in an inexplicable tone, "Could it be that General Luo Qing still thinks that Ah Hu died because of my withered sheep?" ”

Luo Qing didn't speak, after all, he also knew the ins and outs of the whole thing, and after thinking about it for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Wei Shuai's death is indeed not your doing, but you Niu Zhujun can't completely escape the involvement!" - If it weren't for your Niu Zhujun being instigated by Wei Zhuang, why would Wei Shuai be killed by Wei Zhuang's villain?! ”

"Joke!" Before the withered sheep could speak, Xu Chang beside him scolded angrily, "It's all my Niu Zhujun's fault, isn't there a little fault in your Jinling Army?" - Tell me, why did my Niu Zhu army cause chaos in the city at that time?! ”

Hearing this, Luo Qing's face immediately turned red. After all, it was precisely because their Jinling Army wanted to take over the Niu Zhu Army and designed to seize the withered sheep that the whole Niuzhu Army was demoralized, so it was used by Wei Zhuang.

In the final analysis, this matter was caused by his Jinling Army, but as a member of the Jinling Army and one of the generals under Wei Hu's account, how could Luo Qing belittle himself.

Glaring at Xu Chang fiercely, Luo Qing was a little annoyed and angry.

Seeing this, the withered sheep hurriedly said, "Okay! General Luo Qing should not be angry for the time being. -- The withered sheep also felt that Ah Hu died because of me, but what about the two generals, Wang Wei and Lu Yong? ”

Seeing that the withered sheep took the initiative to relieve himself and admit that Wei Hu's death was related to him, Luo Qing's embarrassed face looked a little better, and then, when he heard the names of Wang Wei and Lu Yong's second general, his expression suddenly became complicated, and he hesitated for a long time before he said with little confidence, "This is ...... Is that...... That's Wu Shuai's design and layout......"

"For the sake of design and layout, you don't hesitate to abandon the loyal righteous as an outcast?" Interrupting Luo Qing's words, the withered sheep asked.

"......" Luo Qing was silent when he heard this. Perhaps, he also had some dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart, but he didn't show it.

"Stop, General Luo Qing!" Sighing, the withered sheep persuaded him, "Guan Wu Heng is a man, insidious and cunning, two-faced and three-faced, what he did before, don't you and I know it?" ――How did he get his position as commander-in-chief? How did he capture Gangnam? Why didn't the Zhou army come to chase after him at that time? ”

"......" Luo Qing's eyebrows were furrowed.

He knew very well the deep meaning of the withered sheep's words, and even, in addition to him, many generals in the Taiping army knew about it well, it was nothing more than Wu Heng betrayed Liang Qiuhao, the commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army at that time, and Liu Qing, the princess who was loyal to everyone.

The capture of the entire Jiangnan, although this seems to be a great feat, but after some peeling off the cocoon, there are many shameful ugly things.

"Stop, General Luo Qing!"

While persuading, the withered sheep slowly walked towards Luo Qing. Suddenly, his footsteps stopped as Luo Qing raised his left hand. Spread his fingers and made a gesture to stop him from moving forward.

"Whew!" Under the shocked gaze of the withered sheep, Luo Qing let out a long breath, and then said with a straight face, "I...... I am not loyal to Wu Heng, I am only loyal to my general Wei Hu, and I am only loyal to the banner of 'Taiping'! - The reason why I am standing here is only because I think that even if General Wei Hu were to come in person, he would still stop you, Dry Sheep Marshal! -- The last general is convinced. General Wei Hu before his death. He still holds on to his dignity and honor as a member of the Taiping Army. And therefore...... There are no regrets in death! ”

"......" the withered sheep was moved when he heard this. He thought that Luo Qing was just deceived by Wu Heng, but he didn't expect Luo Qing to have such pride in his heart.

[Sure enough, it was the general brought out by Ah Hu, who was as arrogant as him......]

The withered sheep smiled bitterly in his heart, because he had already realized. Luo Qing, who can say this, will never be moved by what he said in a few words.

Thinking of this, the withered sheep sighed slightly and muttered, "Yes, if Ah Hu is here, he will ...... Most of them will be like General Luo Qing and stop me here......"

Luo Qing's eyes couldn't help but feel a little warm when he heard this, and he slowly put down his right hand that was hanging on the command. Clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Break through from elsewhere, Dry Sheep Marshal!" - This southern city gate, the last general will never give in, even if all the people die in battle! -- Right now in front of you. It's the last backbone of my Jinling Army! ”

The withered sheep of "......" was moved, his eyes widened unconsciously, and goosebumps appeared all over his body. He only felt that Luo Qing and many former Jinling soldiers under his command erupted into an incomparably solemn and tragic powerful momentum, as if the dead soldiers who regarded death as their home, which made people inadvertently heartbroken. Even Xu Chang, who was extremely resentful of Luo Qing just now, couldn't scold a word in his mouth.

"Retreat!" The withered sheep whispered to Xu Chang.

Nodding, Xu Chang raised his right hand and waved, with a little unwillingness, a little respect for Luo Qing, and shouted in a deep voice, "The whole army ...... Slowly retreat and evacuate the city gates! ”

"Order!" The Niu Zhu army slowly retreated.

Seeing this, the generals of the Wu Heng branch of the Taiping Army were anxious, and they questioned and accused Luo Qing one after another.

"Luo Qing, look what you've done?!"

"Luo Qing, you dare to let go of the traitor withered sheep, I will definitely play Ming Wu Shuai and punish you for your crimes!"

Among them, one of the generals seemed to want to rush to Luo Qing to question him, but he was blocked by the Jinling soldiers and could not get close.

"You...... How dare you and other little pawns stop me?! The general asked incredulously.

Seeing this, a general of the Jinling Army walked out of the queue and said coldly to the general, "Before the end of this battle, the South City Gate will be guarded by my Jinling Tianquan Army, and anyone who dares to approach, whether it is the Taiping Army or the Niuzhu Army, will be killed!" ”

As soon as the words fell, thousands of Jinling soldiers in the city raised their arms and shouted.

"Retreat!!"

The sound was like thunder, and the general of Wu Hengjun was shocked and retreated.

[The last backbone of the Tianquan Army...... Is it? ]

I had no choice but to take the withered sheep under my command Niu Zhu to find another way out, and glanced back at Luo Qing.

As if noticing the withered sheep's gaze, Luo Qing clenched his fists heavily.

"......" Withered Sheep was stunned, for some reason, he vaguely saw that Wei Hu's figure seemed to appear behind Luo Qing, and the figures of the two overlapped, making Withered Sheep's heart uncalm for a while.

[Sure enough, it was a soldier brought out by Ah Hu...... How god-like! ]

The withered sheep let out a long sigh, and he had a vague strange feeling in the dark, as if the late Wei Hu was using his subordinates to bid farewell to Luo Qing's body to him.

"Although they are brothers, they are clearly separated from now on! - What do you want to say, Hu? ”

Glancing at the night sky, the withered sheep muttered to himself.

From the side, Xu Chang looked at the withered sheep hesitantly, and finally couldn't help but ask after half a sound, "Dashuai, what should I do now?" ”

Exhaling, the withered sheep sighed lightly and said, "The last backbone...... The current south city gate is already the most precipitous place in this Guangling City, as long as we dare to turn back...... Let's go and join General Liao Li! ”

"Order!" Xu Chang clenched his fists and immediately sent someone to find the location of Liao Li's army.

However, the scout who came back to report the news said that Liao Li was being attacked by several Taiping armies and was attacked by the enemy on his back.

Hearing this information, the withered sheep changed color slightly, and said to Xu Chang urgently, "Quick, go to the rescue!" -- At the moment, we are powerless to fight our way out of the encirclement. If General Liao Li is lost, then we are all lost in the city, and there are no bones left! ”

"Yes!" Xu Chang nodded, and immediately led the only three or four thousand Niu Zhu soldiers with the withered sheep to the battlefield where Liao Li was. After all, the withered sheep made it very clear that only by joining forces with Liao Li and supporting each other could it be possible to resist the attacks of the Taiping army from all directions.

In this case, seeing that Liao Lijun was under fierce attack, how could the withered sheep not be saved?

Niu Zhu's army hurriedly approached Liao Lijun, secretly praying in their hearts that Liao Lijun still had the strength to fight under the siege of reinforcements from the eastern, western, and northern walls of Guangling City.

However, what surprised the withered sheep and Xu Chang was extraordinarily surprised. When they arrived. And they found out. At the same time, Liao Lijun, who was besieged by three armies of more than 10,000 troops, stood firmly on the streets of the cross street in the center of Guangling City like a huge rock, and did not show any signs of fatigue.

What made the withered sheep and others feel even more unbelievable was that it was said that Liao Li had personally beheaded several generals. It greatly dampened the morale of the Taiping army.

"On the east side, the infantry stepped forward, and the archers ascended to the top to fire a volley! The soldiers on the west side listened to the order, the infantry retreated a hundred paces, and the archers fired a volley! On the north side, the infantry stood by and the archers stepped back to support the east and west flanks. The cavalry marched back three hundred paces to the south. Be ready to assault at any time! ”

In the center of the army, Liao Li sat on a war horse, commanding the battle in three directions at the same time, still in an orderly manner. There was no mistake in the slightest, and with the help of the houses on both sides of the street as a cover, it was able to suppress the ferocious offensive of the three Taiping army reinforcements.

"This guy...... How? -- Command a three-sided battle at the same time? Rubbing his eyes, Xu Chang was only dumbfounded.

"It's intuition...... after all, the withered sheep is more knowledgeable than Xu Chang, squinted his eyes when he heard the words, and muttered.

"Intuition?" Xu Chang glanced at the withered sheep in puzzlement, and immediately praised sincerely, "One person, commanding a three-sided battle at the same time, even then can suppress the three opposite sides." The guy ...... Is it really human? It's a monster, right? ――Can you really do it? ”

"With the help of terrain...... The tactics of dealing with the enemy have been issued before the enemy changes formation, and the enemy army has been ahead of the opponent every time, so that the enemy army will lose the opportunity and be controlled! ――If you can do these things, you can do it! The withered sheep slowly revealed the secret of Liao Li's ability to suppress the enemy's three sides.

But surprise is surprise, the withered sheep is not as out of shape as Xu Chang, after all, he has also seen Liang Qiuhao, Liang Qiuwu and other heroes.

Suddenly, his complexion changed slightly, because he noticed that Liao Li, who was commanding his army to fight on three sides in the distance, suddenly looked back at him, and then leaned over and said something to the guards beside him.

[While commanding the battle in three directions at the same time, you can also detect the arrival of our waiting in time?] -- What an astonishing and terrifying intuition! ]

The withered sheep who had just changed his face was really frightened this time, because in his eyes, this general of the Zhou army named Liao Li was simply an invulnerable existence.

It can only be said that Withered Yang and Xu Chang have never seen with their own eyes the ability of the general of the Baishui Army under the command of Li Shen, the king of Qin, the great hero of the world, that is called invulnerable, and Xie An and Liu Qing have been helpless several times, and the fierce generals in the Jizhou army have also been played with by him in applause. Compared with the thunder, although Liao Li has gradually shown his talent, to be honest, it is still far behind. It can only be said that there are no generals in the Taiping army who can match Liao Li, or even just resist Liao Li, and the difference in rank between the two sides is too great. After all, Liao Li, who has changed a little because of Qi Zhi's incident, even Fei Guo and Ma Dan have never been able to win.

After a while, Withered Sheep's guess was verified, and indeed a Zhou cavalry came over to invite Withered Yang and others.

Following the cavalryman, Dry Sheep and Xu Chang came to Liao Li's side. It was only at this time that the withered sheep realized how noisy and noisy the place where Liao Li was, and there were deafening shouts everywhere. It is hard to imagine how Liao Li can be able to preempt the opponent step by step and take the lead in this noise.

"The South City Gate is lost, isn't it, little uncle?" Still staring at the battle situation in the three directions, Liao Li didn't look back, and asked calmly.

Withered Sheep was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, and said, "Withered Sheep is only a shallow learner, and I didn't notice Wu Heng's sinister intentions earlier......" Saying that, Withered Sheep briefly told Liao Li about Wu Heng's previous calculation of him in the name of expanding the Niu Zhu Army and the later defection of Luo Qing, the general of the Tianquan Army.

After these things were said, the withered sheep was suddenly stunned, because he found that Liao Li's face did not have the slightest surprise, and after thinking about it carefully, he became more and more surprised in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Obviously, half of his command are cavalry, but the general did not attack the whole city, but chose to defend here...... Could it be that the general has already noticed it all? ”

"......" Glancing at the withered sheep, Liao Li said flatly, "If you are all aware of it, then Liao should kill that Tianquan army!" - I just heard the sound of fighting from the south! ”

[Just because he heard the sound of fighting from the south, he immediately judged that the south gate was wrong, and immediately changed his strategy and changed his attack to defense, so as not to go too deep into the enemy's hinterland and be unable to calmly dispatch troops and horses...... What a gut feeling! ]

The withered sheep was secretly frightened, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask, "Right now, both your and my armies are besieged here by the Taiping Army, I don't know what kind of tricks General Liao can have to break the siege?" ”

"Guard!" Liao Li said calmly, "Wait for reinforcements!" ”

"My brother-in-law's reinforcements?" The withered sheep asked suspiciously.

"Liao is not a candidate to cooperate with his uncle, but after defeating that Mu Guang, Liao plans to come to Guangling to see if there is an opportunity to take advantage of it...... In less than an hour, the Lord will arrive with a large army! ”

"An hour?" The withered sheep couldn't cry or laugh, because in his opinion, he was afraid that he and Liao Li would already have no bones left in an hour.

At this moment, he saw Liao Li smile strangely and said in a low voice, "That's why we have to try to save ourselves!" - Don't hide it from my uncle, Liao has been waiting, waiting for the big fish that can change my predicament to take the bait......"

[A big fish that can change my predicament?] ]

After thinking about it carefully, the withered sheep realized that Liao Li was referring to Wu Heng, the fourth commander of the Taiping Army, the head of the anti-thieves who could indeed change their current embarrassing predicament!

[I see!] No wonder this Liao Li was not in a hurry to find another way to try to break through from the city gate in other directions after noticing the changes at the south city gate, it turned out that he was waiting for Wu Heng to come here in person, so as to capture and kill Wu Heng to end this battle in one fell swoop! - Good is conceited, good is crazy! ]

Although the artist is bold, the withered sheep is still shocked by Liao Li's boldness, immersed in the crazy and bloody atmosphere of the battlefield here, he can't help but ooze a layer of cold sweat in his head.

"Shh As if he had guessed the scruples in the withered sheep's heart, Liao Li calmly put his right index finger on his mouth, made a small gesture, and then smiled strangely, "No, that big fish has been hooked!" As he spoke, he turned his head to look to the east side.

Following Liao Li's line of sight, the withered sheep observed carefully, and only then did he notice that the Taiping soldiers on the east side had just become more orderly, and vaguely, he seemed to see Wu Heng, although it was only a fleeting figure.

"I'm tired of my little uncle commanding the soldiers for Liao, and Liao will come when he goes!" Picking up a gun and clamping the horse's belly, Liao Li didn't wait for the withered sheep to respond, and took the cavalry next to him, which only had more than 20 horsemen, and killed thousands of Taiping troops on the east side.

[This guy...... Crazy?! ]

The withered sheep was dumbfounded, he had vaguely guessed why Liao Li was so powerful, but his withered sheep's brother-in-law Xie An never reused this person as the commander of the first army. Because this blade is sharpened so sharp, sharp and easy to break!

If you don't have a proper scabbard......
