Chapter 165: Jingzhou Relief (Part II)

Xu Liang only thought that the ordinary troops who came up to meet him were also thieves, and happily slapped his horse and killed him. After the two rogue soldiers who bore the brunt were killed, they suddenly saw a row of spears stabbing at the tall horse that Xu Liang was riding in the dark night.

It's going to be dead. Xu Liang was originally riding on a horse, and he was naturally a lot taller than a thief standing on the ground with his feet, and the air splitting knife was naturally effortless. But this cavalry unit has always been the most afraid of encountering pikemen. The so-called one inch long and one inch strong, a few spears pierced over, no matter if you are a Han blood BMW, a thousand miles of divine horses, you will also be pierced through the heart. What's more, more than a dozen spears are working together. Xu Liang's long knife drew a semicircle, and he struggled to block the two handles, and he heard a wail of the war horse, Xu Liang's eyes glanced away, and saw four or five spears pierced into the horse's belly, and the war horse's footsteps were disordered, and he saw that it was not good. A few more spears hit him in the air, and Xu Liang was about to bend down to dodge, when suddenly his body sank down suddenly, but it was the war horse that was cut off by the thieves who rushed up, and he fell to the ground.

But this time it just happened to avoid the spear that stabbed. Xu Liang, who fell off the horse, rolled on the spot, and suddenly heard a choking sound behind him, but it was a pitch-black spear that pierced the place where Xu Liang had just landed. The thief who made the spear stabbed him in the air, shouted, and chased Xu Liang to kill him.

Xu Liang saw that there were many shadows in the surroundings and couldn't distinguish between friend and foe, and it seemed that there were more thieves, so he flew the spear of the leader of the thieves, and was about to retreat when he saw a gap.

The leader of the thieves who made the spear shout: "Don't let the Ming army general lead away!" With that, he led a group of men to rush over.

Xu Liang was so frightened that the night was thick, Liang Jun and the thieves couldn't tell each other apart, and only relied on a few torches in their hands to illuminate the area under their feet. Xu Liang didn't have a torch in his hand, and he couldn't find his escort team if he wanted to, and the more anxious he heard the chasing behind him, he couldn't help but regret it, if he died in the hands of the unknown thief leader in such a black light, it would really be very worthless.

Suddenly, there was a coquettish cry, and Dai Yingying rushed out of the darkness and blocked the thief's spear. Behind Dai Yingying, a group of guards swarmed up, resisted the thieves, and protected Xu Liang and fought and retreated.

The leader of the thieves was also very good at kung fu, and fought with Dai Yingying for a while, seeing that the surrounding Liang troops were all around, he shook a shot, led his subordinates back to the gate of the West City, and ordered the soldiers to form two rows of spear formations, and no longer stepped forward to tear up with the Liang army, and escorted the thief army from the city in a steady stream. And Xu Liang was only one hundred and tenth person by his side, so he didn't dare to step forward carelessly to provoke for a while.

"Xu Liang, are you okay?" Dai Yingying looked at Xu Liang and asked anxiously.

"It's fine." Xu Liang said, thinking of the wolf just now, he couldn't help but be angry and annoyed, and angrily pointed to the west city gate and shouted: "Quickly gather the team, and go up with Lao Tzu to kill those thieves!" ”

A general who was following Xu Liang heard this, and hurriedly shouted to his subordinates: "Go and call people, don't worry about others, come to the general to gather quickly!" ”

The soldiers of the Liang army under his command should shout, look around, the entire Jingzhou city is full of torches, all tearing and killing, hesitating for a moment and not knowing where to call someone.

"What are you doing in a daze, go quickly!" The general scolded.

Several of his subordinates stubbornly scattered in all directions, shouting loudly as they ran: "The general has an order, assemble quickly!" Assemble now! ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he was so angry that he almost turned his back on it. One kick towards the general kicker, and the general kick three steps away. Xu Liang jumped to his feet and scolded: "This black light is blind, shouting and screaming like you, how can you gather a team?" Beware of bringing in the thieves! ”

"That'...... So what to do with which general? The brethren were scattered. The general asked with a sneer.

"Stupid, blow the trumpet!" Xu Liang said angrily: "Blow the assembly horn!" ”

"Ahh The total came to his senses. Liang Jun's daily training also has a training subject of listening to the number and distinguishing the number, but Xu Liang added it. In fact, large-scale military operations in the Ming Dynasty were generally to advance by beating drums and collecting troops. However, Xu Liang felt that it would be too cumbersome to march and fight, if he had to bring a few big drums, so he imitated the sound of military trumpets in the army in his previous life. It's just that I didn't find that loud material for a while, so I replaced it with horn for the time being. And the horns of the cow blew, the sound was low, but it spread far away, barely making do.

With the sound of two short and one long low horns, the Liang soldiers who were fighting the thieves in the wilderness did not understand what was going on at first, and then one after another Liang soldiers understood the trumpet, left the enemy, and gathered in the darkness following the sound of the horn.

At this time, under the West City Gate, most of the thieves had withdrawn from Jingzhou City, and a small number of broken troops were blocking the Liang army in the city. The leader of the thieves who confronted Xu Liang under the city gate heard the sound of bullhorns, and saw that the torches lit in the hands of the Liang army were gathering in the direction where Xu Liang was standing, and thousands of people had gathered behind Xu Liang, and there were still thief soldiers in the city withdrawing, so he was very nervous for a while.

Suddenly, the sound of the horn changed, a series of short and urgent horns sounded, and a shout of killing sounded in the dark night, and the leader of the thieves looked up and saw Xu Liang taking the lead, leading the thousands of people gathered to kill under the west city gate.

Seeing this, the leader of the thieves put away his spear, sat down on his horse's belly with his legs, and shouted, "Withdraw!" Evacuate! The thief soldiers under him obeyed the order, and with the spear leader, they actually left the thief army in the city and fled into the night.

Seeing this, Xu Liang led the Liang army to chase and kill for a while, and when he saw that it was dark in front of him, he couldn't see the details of the thieves clearly, so he slowly stopped. The general beside him persuaded: "General, don't chase after the poor." At present, General Xing and General Huang are still in the city, so they should join them as soon as possible. ”

Xu Liang thought about it, yes, Xing Zhongshan and Huang Ziren are still clearing the remnants of thieves in the city, and they rushed back to block the Jingzhou city gate, and it is serious to close the door and beat the dogs. At that moment, he turned around and wanted to drink back to the city, and suddenly saw a white light flashing not far from his feet.

"Hey, what's on the ground?" Xu Liangqi said. As he spoke, he took the torch from the hands of a Liang soldier and leaned over to the ground to look at it. I flicked it with my hand, turned it out, and saw that it was a silver ingot weighing five taels.

"Hehe, this is unusual, those thieves ran so fast, they didn't even want any money." Xu Liang said with a smile. I touched the ground again, and found two thumb-sized pearls next to it.

When the generals of the Liang army saw it, they were amazed, and several Liang soldiers also took torches to rummage on the ground, and sure enough, two more people found silver ingots, pearls and other things. There was a moment of cheering.

"What's going on?" Xu Liang, Dai Yingying and the total three looked at each other. Xu Liang took a light on the ground with a torch again, and saw two rows of wheel prints at his feet.

"Isn't it that the thief is in a hurry, and he doesn't even know that the two silver treasures have fallen upside down from the car?" Dai Yingying said hesitantly.

Xu Liang looked at her, thought about it, patted his head, jumped to his feet and shouted: "Grandma's fell for that thief and went to the dragon." The leader of the thieves who made the spears set up a spear array under the city gate, not to cover the retreat of the thieves in the city at all, but to buy time for the heavenly dragon. That carriage must be loaded with the treasure of the heavenly dragon! ”

"Oh, no wonder as soon as we charged, those people didn't even resist, they just withdrew!" It was always a sudden realization.

"Get on the horse! Blow the trumpet! Give me chase! Xu Liang turned over and jumped on the back of a horse, shouting loudly.

"Intercept those carriages, and the brothers will reward each of them with ten taels of silver!"

"Good! Come on! ”

"Chase!"

Under Xu Liang's heavy promise, all the soldiers of the Liang army shouted as if they had been beaten into the vast night, even if most of them were foot soldiers behind them, they all moved forward bravely, and the Liang army on horseback was not much behind. Dai Yingying caught up with Xu Liang and shouted worriedly: "Xu Liang, there are less than a thousand people here at the moment, and it is too dangerous to chase after him like this." It's better to wait until General Xing and General Huang chase after it. ”

Xu Liang lay on the horse's back, his head shaking like a rattle.

"No, no. If they had arrived, the thieves would have disappeared! He stared at the few fires in front of him with bright eyes, and exclaimed, "That carriage is full of money!" Lao Tzu's money! ”

In the dark night, the thieves fled in front, and Xu Liang and his gang pursued closely behind. The leader of the thieves who made the spear saw Xu Liang chasing closer and closer, knowing that the carriage was full of things, and the speed of travel was not fast, if the group of people behind him bit tightly, he would be caught up sooner or later, and a middle-aged man shouted at the black horse in front of him: "Big brother, you take things and go first, and the younger brother will block it!" ”

The middle-aged man riding on the black horse was none other than Shangtianlong, the leader of the thieves who was famous in Shaanxi. When the dragon turned back, the spearman had turned his horse's head and killed him in reverse. The Heavenly Dragon shouted, "Brother Luo beware! Then he shouted in all directions: "Speed up, fast." Tell the whole army, extinguish the torches, and advance in the dark! ”

Xu Liang heard the neighing of people in front of him, and when he was about to march a little further, he saw a young man with a black spear in his hand on the road, and immediately blocked it. The young man's face flickered in the light of the fire of a group of rogue soldiers behind him.

"Good dogs don't get in the way!" Xu Liang drank the mount and scolded.

"I am...... Phew! The young man was about to report his name, but suddenly reacted that Xu Liang preemptively said, "Good dogs don't get in the way," if he reported his name, wouldn't he admit that he was a dog? It's a big loss for nothing!

"I am the Heavenly Dragon General, and I am the general Luo Ru is also!" The young man finally shouted, "Which general is on the other side?" ”

Xu Liang rolled his eyes and scolded: "You don't care which way Lao Tzu is." Looking over Luo Rucai, he saw that there was very little light from the torches that could still be seen in the night ahead, but he didn't know that the heavenly dragon ordered the torches to be extinguished, and he thought that a few carts of wealth were about to fly, and he was in a hurry.

"Our righteous army is also desperate, we have to eat, and I hope that the general will make it ......convenient," Luo Rucai was about to say that he hoped that Xu Liang would not chase after him, and that he would be forgiving and forgiving.

Suddenly, Xu Liang shouted: "Cutting off people's financial paths is really hateful!" Kill it! ”
