Chapter 427: Destroying the Liang Division (4)
"Stop, who are you?" Under the gate of Honghua City, a middle-aged scholar came slowly with a team of carriages, the carriages were very heavy, and there was a creaking sound from time to time. The soldiers at the gate of the city saw it clearly, and a fine light flashed in their eyes, and there was a faint hint of greed. This is a big fish, these soldiers guard the city gate all day long, how do they not know where these cats are, and they don't want to go up to block the road.
"This general, we are the third account of an inn in the city, and there is an inn for tomorrow's ingredients, which this person finally collected from the countryside. Shopkeeper Qin asked the villain to send it in quickly, no, he would have to trouble a few generals. The scholar at the head took out the usual copper coin from his arms, handed it to the soldier with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Buy some wine for the generals to eat." ”
The soldier took it with a comprehension, nodded to the people around him, and in an instant, several soldiers stepped forward to open the carriage, looked inside casually, and saw that it was full of some vegetables and some meat, plus with this money, naturally he would not embarrass the convoy, waved his hand, and prepared to let these people leave. The Liang division occupies a poor place in the northwest, with limited financial resources, and it takes a lot of military expenses to support so many soldiers, and the field army can still do it, but those soldiers who defend the city can't get a few copper plates a month. On weekdays, these guys don't rely on collecting some city gate taxes, how can they support their families, so for this kind of thing, the soldiers defending the city also turn a blind eye.
"Wait." At this time, there was a sudden cold snort from the head of the city, but I saw a general with a gloomy face, looking at everything at the city gate, he looked at the scholar led by him with a gloomy face. This person is Xin Fang'er who stayed in Honghua City.
"General." A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the scholar at the head, and he quickly returned to normal, and said to Xin Fang'er: "I don't know what the general commands?" ”
Xin Fang'er's eyes looked at the scholar like a sharp arrow, he looked at the other party carefully, stared at the carriages carefully, and then snorted coldly. He turned around and disappeared in front of the reader.
"Not good." The reader's face changed when he saw it, and he made a gesture behind him.
"Bang, bang!"
With a loud bang, I saw a carriage that seemed to be unable to bear the weight on it. The axle fell instantly, and I saw a huge box roll down from the car, and the car was opened, and yellow, orange, and orange gold, as well as countless copper coins, rolled down from the box.
"Look. So much gold, hurry up and grab it! The soldiers guarding the city were stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted, and the surrounding crowd didn't know who shouted, as if it was a signal, and the people at the city gate immediately rushed towards the copper coins on the ground.
"Rob!" The city gate was bustling with activity.
Xin Fang'er had just gotten down the city tower, and soon found out about the situation at the city gate, and suddenly her face changed, she pulled out her sword, and said loudly: "Don't rob it." Don't mess around, there will be no mercy for those who violate the order. ”
"Kill!" There was a sudden shout of killing in the distance, Xin Fang'er looked over, and saw countless cavalry roaring at the end of the sky.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack." Xin Fang'er's face changed drastically, and she couldn't help but roar loudly. He sensed that this was definitely not an accident, but a premeditated attack.
"Kill." At this moment, a loud roar came, and I saw a sudden loud noise in the dozen or so carriages, and dozens of people in black armor suddenly rushed out. Jumping into the crowd, as long as the people in armor were the targets of their attack, and those soldiers would never have thought that jumping out of these carriages was actually a murderer. Some didn't even have a chance to resist, so they were killed by these black-armored soldiers.
"It's the army of the Great Sui, hurry, close the city gate." Xin Fang'er saw those soldiers in black armor, and immediately knew whose army this was, and the whole day was in the middle of the world. Da Zhao is still white, Da Sui is still black, and as for Liang Shidu, the soldiers under his command are all varied, and some don't even have armor. Now these soldiers are wearing black armor, obviously Li Xin's army is coming, he is terrified, no matter how much at this time, he quickly ordered his soldiers to close the city gate, since the Great Sui has no large-scale marching record, obviously this is a small valley troops, as long as the city gate is closed and the city is held, no matter how powerful these people are, they will not be able to take Honghua City.
"Where are the eighteen horsemen in the south? Rush. Seeing that the city gate was about to close slowly, in the crowd, there were eighteen big men with gloomy faces and breath like icebergs, and they flew on their horses violently, and they didn't know where to pull out a long knife, the long knife flickered coldly, and four people were in a column, riding a tall horse towards the city gate.
"Shoot the arrows." Xin Fang'er saw these eighteen cavalry, his face changed, there were eighteen powerful cavalry under Li Xin's command, all of them were selected from 10,000 people, and they were extremely fierce in the charge, once these people were released, they were generally talented as captains. Therefore, being able to become the eighteen horsemen of Zhongnan beside Li Xin is the fastest group of people under Li Xin's command to be promoted and make a fortune, of course, without strong combat effectiveness, it is impossible to become the eighteen horsemen of Zhongnan, and now, most of the eighteen horsemen of Zhongnan around Li Xin are still the eighteen people who followed him from Zhongnan Mountain.
"Shoot." Zhongnan Eighteen Cavalry looked at the group of archers that appeared in front of him, not only did he not have any fear, he took out a flying knife from his arms, and the cold light flashed away, and those soldiers were shot by Zhongnan Eighteen Cavalry before they could shoot their bows and arrows.
"Short spear." The eighteenth cavalry of Zhongnan took out a small short spear from his combat boots, and the short spear flew out, killing a batch again. By this time, eighteen men had already rushed into the city gates.
"Quick, kill them." Xin Fang'er didn't expect that the eighteen cavalry in the south of the south were so strong, and he killed more than a dozen of his own people in the blink of an eye, the city gate suddenly opened, and it was faintly visible that behind the eighteen cavalry, there were countless cavalry rushing over, he looked anxious for a while, and gave orders loudly.
"Kill." A loud roar in the distance, I saw two fierce generals leading thousands of cavalry to kill, under the city gate, it has long become a sea of blood, the original scholar just now is also holding a sword, slashing left and right, at this time, it is no longer clear who is a soldier, who is an ordinary person, in the war, the most unlucky is also such a group of people.
"Quick, get out of here." Xin Fang'er saw clearly, at this time, he no longer had the mind to fight, the city gate had been lost, and more importantly, when the enemy broke into Honghua City, his army was not ready for battle, Xin Fang'er knew that if he stayed here, he would definitely die, and he didn't want to think about it, so he turned around and left.
"Where to go?" An old voice came from afar, only to see a veteran flying horse, stretching his bow and arrows, a sharp roar, Xin Fang'er felt the sound of a sharp whistle coming from behind, and suddenly lay on the sound of the war horse, and then the helmet on his head seemed to be hit by a huge force, Xin Fang'er slammed into the horse, and after a sharp pain, he suddenly fainted.
"General Xin is dead, General Xin is dead." The soldiers around Xin Fang'er saw it clearly, and suddenly became in chaos, each of them dropped their weapons in their hands, or squatted on both sides of the street and did not dare to resist, or fled, and the soldiers at the city gate did not dare to resist, allowing the army to attack the city. Poor Li Yuan has been in business for several years, and was occupied by Liang Shidu, as the first pass to resist Li Xin, he was easily captured by Du Ruhui.
"Old General Duan, the sword is not old, Honghua City was captured by Old General Duan like this! If the prime minister knew that Old General Duan had personally taken action, he would definitely be very happy. Du Ruhui came on a war horse, looked at the veteran, and laughed: "The three brothers of the Duan family are like tigers descending the mountain, well, the tiger father has no dogs!" Heroic. ”
"Don't laugh at Lord Du, the old man himself was a courtier of the Gao family, and the ancestors followed the king of Lanling to fight in the east and west, and later after the king of Lanling was killed, the ancestors were disheartened and came to Liangzhou. Today, the prime minister inherits the banner of King Lanling, and those of us who are courtiers naturally want to be thousands of miles alike. If I had known the prime minister's background, I'm afraid I would have followed the prime minister into Guanzhong a long time ago, but this time it was much later. Duan Decao laughed.
Who is Duan Decao, the son of Duan Shao, the general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Gao Huan's nephew, speaking carefully, he has something to do with Li Xin. It's just that although Duan Decao was under Li Xin's command in the past, he didn't have much sense of identity with Li Xin, and he was barely a big local wealthy family, but now it's different, as Li Xin's life experience gradually became public, Duan Decao knew that Li Xin was the king of Lanling, and his sense of identity with Li Xin increased a lot, and after receiving Du Ruhui's letter, he immediately led his three sons Duan Zhijie, Duan Zhihao, and Duan Zhiming to kill and capture Honghua in one fell swoop.
"Old general, Honghua City still needs the old general to sit in charge, and now the prime minister is still fighting against Liang Luoren, if it weren't for the prime minister to lead Liang Luoren away, relying on more than 10,000 people and horses from you and me, I'm afraid I won't be able to capture Honghua City." It's easy on our side, which means I'm afraid it's dangerous for the prime minister. I'm ready to answer the Prime Minister. Du Ruhui said solemnly.
"Lord Du's words are wrong, the generals will fight on the battlefield, don't fight with the old man for this kind of thing, I let Zhiming defend the city, and the old man will personally lead 10,000 elite rounds of the prime minister's 5,000 men, presumably Liang Luoren will not dare to wait for me?" Duan Decao waved his hand and said.
"Okay, in that case, the old general should be careful all the way." Du Ruhui nodded, and immediately ordered Duan Zhiming to lead the army to pacify the rebellious soldiers in the city, and then issued a document to calm the hearts of the people in the city, order the merchants in the city to operate normally, and restore the normal order of Honghua City. Du Ruhui was easy and skillful in these things, and with Li Xin's army entering Honghua, Qiu did not commit any crimes, and the order in Honghua City quickly settled down. (To be continued.) )
