Chapter 540: Capture the Horse at Night
Li Xiaohe shook his head, driving away the unreal feeling in his mind. At that moment, he had an incomparable fear before he died. At that moment, he found that he could not speak and his legs could not move.
But after a period of silence, he suddenly remembered that he was the host of this banquet, and he was the one who wanted to break the glass. Liu Wuzhou smashed the cup, it was difficult to rush out a team of swords and axes from behind his own Fuzhong screen.
Thinking that he had made a fool of himself in front of so many subordinates, Li Xiaohe's face immediately turned from white to blue.
"Smack!"
The fine porcelain wine glass in his hand was thrown on the stone slab, and the light and brittle porcelain fragments flew around.
Li Xiaohe's face was dark, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Wuzhou viciously, and let out a huge roar, "Beat this rude person out of my mess." ”
As soon as his words fell, a large group of armored guards rushed to the door of the hall outside. Everyone was wearing bright torches, wearing dark bright light armor, and under the sturdy helmet, there were bright, blood-devouring eyes.
In everyone's hands, they also held a bright and sheathed horizontal knife. What's even more shocking is that the horizontal knife is not only unsheathed, but also in this firelight. You can also clearly see the red blood still dripping freely on Xue Liangdao's body! "Phew!"
There was a chorus of gasps, and the officials in the hall were already dizzy. Liu Wuzhou dropped the cup, and Li Xiaohe also dropped the cup, whose sword and axe is this team of killing gods?
"Give me Liu Wuzhou!"
Li Xiaohe's face turned pale again. A flash of panic flashed in his eyes as he shouted.
The officials in the hall breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, it turned out that these people were too guarded.
The blood-stained guards did not move.
Liu Wuzhou chuckled a few times. In this hall, it is becoming more and more unruly.
He stretched out his hand, pointed at Li Xiaohe at the top and said, "Take off his head." Passed on to the city. ”
There was a pause. Liu Wuzhou pointed to the officials in the hall and said, "From now on, Ma Yi City is already my Liu someone's Ma Yi, if there is anyone who disobeys, go and accompany Li Xiaohe, do it!" ”
The fierce guards strode into the hall with blood-stained swords. The blood-stained boots were soon on the fine carpet. Left one after another black but bright red footprints.
In the midst of Li Xiaohe's scream, a guard's horizontal sword flashed like lightning, and Li Xiaohe's head flew high. Then he rolled down on the carpet in the hall, dead but still unsightly angry.
Lee Hyo-ho died. Without waiting for those guards to make a move, ninety percent of the people in the hall had already surrendered to Liu Wuzhou, and the few remaining ones were also Li Valve's people, knowing that they would die, so they gave up their lives to lift the table and lift a few, and wanted to pull one or two cushions on their backs, but without exception, they were quickly hacked to death with knives. After a few moments, the hall was quiet again, except for the shocking stains of blood, a sign of what had just happened.
Li Daolin led 3,000 men and horses in the dark and marched all the way to Shanyin Town with torches. However, after arriving in Sanyin Town, he was surprised to find that everything was fine in the town, and there was no robbery by bandits. On the contrary, it was because of their arrival that the town, which had been sleeping peacefully, woke up in a panic again.
After interrogating the people in the town again and again, and sending scouts to investigate for a while, he found out that he had been tricked. There were no robbers at all, everything was actually a lie from the ranger.
Li Daolin was angry and angry, scolding the damn miscellaneous in his mouth, while gathering his soldiers and horses, and quickly rushed back to Mayi City. He hurried all the way, and he had already sworn in his heart that when he returned to the city, he would behead the ranger who lied about the military situation to show the public, and pass on the heads of the battalions, so that they would know the fate of daring to deceive him.
The soldiers rushed back to the front of Mayi City, and when they saw him coming back from the city, they didn't even open the door, so they couldn't help but shout and curse even more angrily, "Quickly open the city gate for Lao Tzu!" ”…,
I only heard a cry of guilt from the city, and then the drawbridge was lowered under the twisting of the soldiers, and the city gate creaked and slowly opened.
Li Daolin took the lead and crossed the suspension bridge first and returned to the city.
When I returned to the city in the middle of the night, the city was very quiet, and it was as dark as a monster.
The hooves of the war horses struck on the stone road in the city, making a crisp hitting sound, and it was heard far away.
Liu Wei, the captain beside Li Daolin, frowned and said, "General, it seems to be weird!" ”
Since Li Daolin entered the city, he has always had a bad feeling, a feeling as if he was being targeted by an archer. This feeling is the feeling he gained as a military general in the life-and-death struggle on the battlefield.
"It's a little weird"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a bang, and countless bowstrings seemed to sound in the night sky around him.
Bursts of arrow rain struck, although Li Daolin danced the lance left and right, but did not block a few times, but his body was already a succession of arrows, and within a moment, the whole person had been shot into a hedgehog even with people and horses.
In the dark night, Li Daolin's army was in the light with torches, but Liu Wuzhou's ambush was in the dark. Attacking with a bow and crossbow is almost an arrow to the ground. In a few moments, most of the generals and captains who had entered the city at the front had been shot to death.
When the dragons were leaderless, the soldiers and horses suddenly became chaotic, some of them were smart enough to extinguish the torches, and some of them were stupid enough to use the torches as targets. Some of the soldiers rushed forward desperately, trying to rush to the center of the city. But there are also people who desperately retreat, wanting to leave this blood-devouring place. There are also soldiers shouting loudly, "It's our own people, we are our own people"
Several loud bangs sounded, but the city gate behind it had been blocked with boulders by the soldiers and horses at the head of the city.
Of the three thousand soldiers and horses, only about half of them entered the city at this time.
For a while, chaos arose, bows and arrows flew together, blood flowed sideways, and after Li Daolin died, his subordinates and horses continued to fall.
In less than an hour, about one-third of the more than 1,000 soldiers and horses had been annihilated by Liu Wuzhou's troops, and the remaining hundreds of soldiers had already lost their courage, and in the face of the dazed enemy, they finally chose to abandon their weapons and surrender.
After solving the enemies in the city, Liu Wuzhou's eyes flashed with excitement.
The boulders of the city gate have been cleared and the gates have been reopened.
Liu Wuzhou waved his lance and roared, "Kill!" ”
The prancing horse was cross-lanced, and one horse took the lead, followed by nearly five hundred horsemen, killing the remaining soldiers and horses who were not far away.
It was late at night, but no one could sleep in the city of Mayi, one by one, they closed their doors in their clothes, and waited for the dawn with fear.
At dawn, Liu Wuzhou led the army back, and more than 1,000 Tang troops in the city were killed more than 300 people, and the rest surrendered.
After returning to Mayi, Liu Wuzhou immediately posted notices everywhere in the city, announcing that Li Yuan's father and son had murdered the monarch and plotted rebellion, and everyone was punished. He also said that the Son of Heaven of the Beijing Imperial Court was originally the first emperor and crown prince, and now the Son of Heaven is orthodox. And the Beijing court's Xuanfu text and his reward edict to the Hedong counties were publicized one by one, and from then on, Ma Yi changed its flag and returned to the Beijing court.
Subsequently, Liu Wuzhou recruited troops and horses in Mayi City, and immediately sent people to declare to the counties of Mayi and take over the granaries of the county officials. In less than two days, the entire territory of Mayi belonged to Liu Wuzhou, and the number of soldiers and horses under his command was 20,000.
Liu Wuzhou got 20,000 soldiers and horses, leaving Yuan Junzhang to command 5,000 soldiers to stay, and he personally led 15,000 men and horses, and Zhang Zhenhai immediately sent troops eastward and went straight to Yanmen.
When the Yanmen scouts reported to Pegasus, Liu Wuzhou's soldiers and horses had already arrived at the pass between Mayi and Yanmen, and the place in front of Xicheng Pass was a hundred miles away. When Wang Zhibian, the tiger general who sat in Yanmen City, was Li Yuan's person, and when he heard that Liu Wuzhou was in turmoil, he was furious, and immediately went to report to Yao Junsu, the deputy guard of Hedong who was sitting in Yanmen City, and Chen Xiaoyi, the Taishou of Yanmen, and prepared to meet the enemy.
After Wang Zhibi left, Yao Junsu said to Chen Xiaoyi, "You and I are both ministers of the Great Sui, and now that Li Yuan's father and son are killing the monarch and plotting rebellion, we can't immediately kill him, but Wang Zhibi is Li Yuan's henchman, and after taking charge of Yanmen in his hands, we have no choice but to wait, but now it is a great opportunity, and we can't miss it." ”…,
Yao Junsu had already followed Yang Guang when Yang Guang was still young, and was Yang Guang's personal guard of the Jin Palace. Later, he participated in the Great Sui's foreign expeditions many times, accumulated military merits, and was promoted to the general of Eagle Strike. After that, he began to be transferred to the subordinates of Qu Tutong, the general of Zuohou Wei, and has been sitting in Guanlong. Just this year, during the siege of Yanmen, he was the first to lead his troops and horses to King Qinwang of Yanmen.
After the siege of Yanmen was lifted, he was promoted to the deputy guard of Hedong and stationed at Yanmen. Yao Jun has always been loyal to Yang Guang, and this time he knew that Yang Guang was actually killed by Li Yuan's father and son, how could he still follow Li Yuan's father and son.
Yanmen Taishou Chen Xiaoyi has a good relationship with Yao Junsu on weekdays, and it is unacceptable for Li Yuan to kill Jun, and he was also shocked when he heard the words, but he was still a little worried, "Although Liu Wuzhou successfully captured Ma Yi, he is just a school captain, even if he has gathered a lot of soldiers and horses now, they are all rabble." Wang Zhizhi is a tiger general, but he is a fierce general on the battlefield, if we act rashly, I am afraid that we will not be sure. ”
Yao Junsu shook his head, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chen Xiaoyi excitedly, "Brother Chen, this is a letter from my former boss, General Qu Gong, Zuohou Wei. He had already joined the Beijing Imperial Court, and was now ordered to rescue Jiangdu. Saying that, he sighed lightly, "Hebei has repeatedly sent letters to call me before, but I have always been worried about the relationship between Chen Pojun and the Southern Chen Puppet Emperor. But now Chen Pojun actually sent troops to rescue the soldiers and horses of the Jiangdu Imperial Court and counterattacked Chen Shen, it seems that he and Jiangnan Chen Shen are not in the same group. At present, he is supporting the crown prince to ascend the throne in Hebei, and it is the time for us to serve the imperial court and serve the first emperor. ”
