Chapter Seventy-Eight: Want Revenge?
The only one of these three people who was tied up was Li Tai, the head of the Miao tribe, who was inadvertently captured by Ma Jiwei during the process of leading his troops to sweep the southern city gate.
Li Tai and Pu Guishan, the head of the Dong tribe, and Lei Shanming, the head of the She tribe, acted in unison, and discussed after withdrawing from the Huang Mansion, because the tribal soldiers guarding the southern gate of Tanzhou City were mainly their subordinates, so the three of them led the team straight to the Vermilion Bird Gate corresponding to Anle Avenue. After running wildly for a while, the three of them found that there were no pursuers behind them, so they slowed down. Looking at the rows of quiet mansions on both sides of Antai Avenue, these people's hearts itched again.
Li Tai was the first to propose that the money and property in the palace of the king of Chu were taken away by Panlong in the name of collecting them first and then distributing them according to the clan, and everyone began to work as coolies as soon as they entered the city, so that now we have been seriously damaged in the process of besieging Lin Feng. Why don't you grab one now?
Pu Guishan and Lei Shanming looked back at the empty street behind them at the same time, looked at each other again, and immediately nodded in agreement.
Lei Shanming immediately opened his mouth and proposed, with Antai Avenue as the boundary, the west to Li Tai, and the east to Pu Guishan and himself, and at the same time made a look at Pu Guishan. Pu Guishan immediately came to his senses and quickly agreed, since this method was proposed by Li Tai, and now the soldiers and horses are the most under Li Tai, naturally Li Tai and his clan should be responsible for it alone.
Mrs. Li immediately became excited, pulled out his remaining 400 men, and took the lead in rushing towards the houses on the west side. Lei Shanming and Pu Guishan arranged for some soldiers to "subcontract" the houses along the way, and the two led their respective guards to the Suzaku Gate.
Therefore, when Ma Jiwei began to sweep along Antai Avenue with a cadre of cavalry and elite soldiers, the west side of the avenue, which was making slow progress as a whole, immediately became the object of Ma Jiwei's attention. The Miao soldiers who were scattered in various mansions to grab the joy were fiercely cut down one by one, and those who knelt down and surrendered were tied up and thrown to the ground to continue their advance.
Soon, Li Tai, who led seven guards to rob in a mansion, was easily caught, and Lei Shanming and Pu Guishan escaped from the Suzaku Gate as soon as possible with their guards when they heard the sound of cavalry hooves.
Ma Jiwei took Li Tai, left some of the soldiers and horses to continue the sweep, and led the remaining soldiers and horses back to Tiance Mansion.
In front of the palace gate, the cavalry who had marched forward surrounded several men dressed in civilian clothing.
Now that the war is in chaos, which civilian will not come out and hang out at this time? Ma Jiwei knew that something was not right, and when he caught up and scared, several so-called civilians were immediately recruited, it turned out that they were soldiers defending the city of Tanzhou, and occasionally heard that Peng Shiwei, the commander of the original Tanzhou crossbow, and Wu Hong, the commander of the infantry army, were captured alive, and were preparing to sneak into the Tiance Mansion to rescue the two of them in the chaos of the night.
When Ma Jiwei heard this, he immediately sent people into the palace, brought these two people and their loyal subordinates over, and fought all the way along Anle Avenue to the west gate.
When Lin Feng saw Mrs. Li, he ignored his crying and pleading, and immediately ordered the soldiers to tie him to the top of a log and plant him in front of the city gate like a big tree, and then sent two soldiers to guard him on the spot, and sent two others to wave a long whip on the side to "spur and spur" him. By the way, warn the coiled dragon on the other side, hurry up and stop it, otherwise it will be the end!
After arranging Mrs. Li, Lin Feng turned around and walked to Peng Shihui and Wu Hong, who couldn't even sit still on the ground, and put their bodies in a sideways posture with his own hands, before asking, "Two generals, do you want to avenge the destruction of Tanzhou City?" ”
Peng Shiwei bowed his head and said nothing, but his two fists were clenched tightly. Wu Hong wanted to speak, but as soon as his head moved, he was affected by a large stick wound on his buttocks, and his face twitched violently.
Seeing this scene, Lin Feng hurried over, flattened one of Wu Hong's bent left legs, and took a military uniform and stuffed it under Wu Hong's neck.
Wu Hong struggled to move his body, obeying the movements of Lin Feng's hand, but his mouth closed tightly and he stopped talking.
"The heroic deeds of the two who resisted to the last one, Lin also heard about it. Lin wanted to ask the two brothers, Tanzhou City was breached, who do you hate the most? ”
Peng Shihui finally spoke. He opened his mouth with difficulty, and said hatefully: "Panlong, Zhao Ye! Peng Shiwei is also a member of the Tujia family, and Pan Long and Zhao Ye, who are also Tujia people, led a team to attack Tanzhou City, but he was captured and punished, which naturally made him the most jealous in his heart.
Wu Hong scolded hatefully: "Permission Qiong! ”
If there is no permission for Qiong to lead the naval army to defect and enter the city, Tanzhou City must still be holding on now, and Permission Qiong's surrender to the enemy is naturally the most unforgivable in the eyes of Wu Hong, who insists on resisting.
Lin Feng laughed, pointed to the west city gate, and said loudly: "Zhao Ye was scared away by me, Panlong is now a trapped beast, just under the city gate, he will face the endless pursuit of my Tang elite soldiers!" As for Xu Qiong, Wu Hong, even if you are pardoned by Ma Xicao, the king of New Chu, do you think you have a chance to see Xu Qiong suffer retribution or take revenge in person? ”
Peng Shiwei's eyebrows fluttered, and his expression immediately became a little excited, and he tried to look up under the city gate. Wu Hong's eyes drooped and he shook his head in frustration.
Lin Feng let out a long laugh again, pointed to the north, approached the two of them and whispered, "The elite soldiers of my Datang Brigade will soon arrive in Tanzhou!" ”
After speaking, Lin Feng smiled at Wu Hong, who suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, got up and walked away. At this time, Yang Di, who had been standing behind, came out in line, squatted in front of the two, and whispered softly.
Seeing Li Tai who was tied up for public display, and then looking at the more and more people on the opposite side, the Tujia soldiers under the city gate became more and more panicked, and stopped plundering early, and the people scrambled to flee outside the city, and the remaining group of people gathered at the city gate, staring nervously at the movement on the opposite side.
"Big brother, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood! You go first, I'll cover you! Pan Song was also stabbed in Fang Cai's defeat, his hair was also knocked off, and his long hair flew all over his head, forcing him to keep pulling his hair back.
The coiled dragon was not injured, but it was also covered in blood. He shook off Pan Song's palm to push him, and said angrily: "Let my brother stay and die, I ran away by myself, I don't have such a thick skin to return to Chenzhou!" ”
Speaking of this, Pan Long lowered his voice and commanded Pan Song: "Pan Song, we have already made enough money, and the first batch of soldiers in the clan to transport money have already gone away. You can cross the river now and send the rest of the money back to the mountains as quickly as possible, and our Tujia family will definitely be able to make a comeback with this money!" ”
Pan Song looked at the other side, gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "Big brother, you go first, I will take the initiative to surrender after a while, and I will say that the Tujia family was bewitched by me to assassinate Lin Feng, and I will take care of everything!" ”
Pan Long shook his head, looked at the scene of Anran making a fire and cooking on the other side, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and said in a low voice: "If the other party keeps attacking non-stop, then it means that they are just looking for us to take revenge, whether I come forward or you come forward, the plan you said is still a little likely to succeed; But did you see it, but the other party stopped attacking, I think it should be Lin Feng who arrived, what he wants now should not be to kill me, but to need an enemy like me! ”
Pan Song was confused, and looked at the eldest brother with a painful face in confusion.
When Panlong was approaching the moment of life and death, he suddenly blessed his soul, figured it out at once, and said in a calm tone:
"I've figured it out now, I've seen the matter of killing Lin Feng too easy! If Lin Feng wasn't so difficult to deal with, would Datang have high-ranking officials willing to spend so much effort trying to kill him? Let's stand in Lin Feng's point of view again, if he killed us so easily and helped Ma Xicao win the throne of Chu so easily, then what can Datang get from it? What can he Lin Feng get? Therefore, Lin Feng suddenly stopped attacking, I feel that he must have his own overall plan, and he will not let the war end so quickly! We also have a chance to escape! ”
When Panlong said this, he carefully watched the lively scene on the opposite side, and then listened to the cheers and noises coming from the opposite side from time to time, and his heart became more determined in his thoughts!
Panlong turned around suddenly, patted Pansong's shoulder, and said in a relaxed tone: "You and I will leave now, leaving only our two personal guards to pretend, and order them to light a fire and evacuate by themselves as soon as they see each other making a move!" ”
After some secret arrangements, the tribal soldiers under the city gate became fewer unconsciously, the city gate was half closed, and firewood was piled up inside and outside the city gate, and the retreat of the tribal army was almost ready.
