Chapter 27: The Right Way
。 Get Feng Xiaoci's approval. Those Sui soldiers were like galloping horses that had been unhaltered. They rushed into the col with a strange scream. Swords, guns, bows and arrows are thrown everywhere. Suddenly. Outside the col came the sound of horses' hooves. Shi Danai led 3,000 cavalry to kill him. There is only one entrance to this col. It is not suitable for cavalry combat. But I heard the heart-rending cries of the children in the col. The cavalry couldn't take care of it anymore. Many simply jumped off their horses. Carrying a knife. Rushed down the mountain road. It's a hand-to-hand hand-to-hand battle. Feng Xiaoci's Sui soldiers after a brief panic. Also began to fight back. The shouts and fighting in the col resounded. From time to time there were terrible screams and desperate wails of near death. Shi Danai rushed to the front with a cooked copper stick. He doesn't lose his strength. Every stick goes down. One of the Sui soldiers was knocked to the ground. It's not broken bones. It's the head flowering. Invincible. No one dares to take a hit.
Liu Ziqiu has always wanted to avoid this kind of scuffle. But the situation is not up to anyone. Avoid the time when there is no escape. It's just a matter of seeing who is braver. Feng Xiaoci's men and horses are in chaos. And Shi Danai and others rescued those boys and girls. Morale is booming. But after all, the two sides are outnumbered. I can only barely fight a draw.
Feng Xiaoci was not as anxious as his subordinates. Although the two young girls selected by the soldiers were beautiful, he was just playing with them in his arms, and he was not in a hurry to make a move. When Shi Danai's cavalry came in, Feng Xiaoci was the first to react, grabbed a big flag, and waved it himself. The big flag was an important means of combat command, and it was not originally suitable for night, but many bonfires were lit in the col, which were as bright as day, but it provided convenience for him.
With Feng Xiaoci's command. His Sui soldiers gradually gained the upper hand by virtue of their numerical superiority. In addition, it is clear that the enemy is only two or three thousand people. Morale is greater. And Stanai's subordinates are all cavalry. Foot combat is not their forte. Except for a squad of cavalry at the entrance to the col. Others are failing.
Then. Shi Danai also saw Feng Xiaoci who was waving the battle flag. Although he didn't know that Feng Xiaoci was the commander of this Sui army. But he knew that the Sui army was gradually forming a formation thanks to the command of that banner. Shi Danai was already red-eyed at this time. Shout. waved his stick and rushed straight towards Feng Xiaoci.
Over there. Feng Xiaoci also noticed Shi Danai. He waved his banner. As soon as the Sui soldiers surrounded Shi Danai. Shi Danai struggled to wield a cooked copper stick. Every step forward. There were five or six corpses lying around. Blood stained the robes red. Shi Danai is brave. But I can't stand the other side. Gradually. He had already been stabbed five or six times. The speed at which he wielded the brass stick slowed down.
Suddenly. A long lance stabbed in front of him. Stanai's movements slowed slightly. Poof". The lance did not enter his right chest. The one who made the lance was a lieutenant in Feng Xiaoci's army. He hit it well. I was overjoyed. Just waiting to pull out the lance and strike another fatal blow. But I saw Shi Danai roar angrily. Cooked copper rod waved in the chest. Break the lance into two sections early. Stanley stepped forward. The stick fell on the captain's head. Beat a good head to pieces. Shapeless.
The army saw that Shi Danai pounced like a fierce god. It's all chilling. They all avoided to both sides. Feng Xiaoci was also stunned. I forgot to wave the flag for a while. His soldiers are all commanded by the banner. The team was suddenly messy. Shi Danai endured the excruciating pain. Fight all the way to the past. Three steps and two steps actually rushed to Feng Xiaoci. Feng Xiaoci woke up at this time. But it's too late to wave the flag anymore. Feng Xiaoci was born in the military. The reaction is not slow. I watched the cooked copper rod fall on my head. He threw the banner away. Jumping to the side and flashing. I've dodged the powerful stick.
Take advantage of the old Shi Danai's stick. Feng Xiaoci stretched out his hand to hold the tail of the stick. Take it with you in your arms. Don't look at Shi Danai's five big and three thick. Actually, jīng in sumo. Extremely flexible. Seeing that the momentum is not right. He let go of his hand. Feng Xiaoci couldn't take it back. Holding a cooked copper stick. Crashed to the ground. Shi Danai lifted a kick and kicked Feng Xiaoci's left leg. With a crisp "click". Feng Xiaoci let out a terrible scream. He passed out in an instant.
This scream completely shattered the fighting spirit of those Sui soldiers. They didn't hear Feng Xiaoci's voice again. I didn't see Feng Xiaoci stand up. All when he was already dead. Suddenly people panicked. One trades off the other. The morale of the nomadic cavalry under Stanai was greatly boosted. The tide of victory and defeat was reversed in an instant. The soldiers of the Sui army only held on to one pillar of incense before they collapsed. They all surrendered.
See that the battle is decided. Shi Danai, who has been struggling to support him, only felt that it was dark in front of him. Fall to the ground.
"General. General." The soldiers gathered around. Many boys and girls who survived the catastrophe also crowded over.
Stannay struggled to open his eyes. Gritted his teeth and said, "Send the children home."
After speaking. Stanley closed his eyes. Lying there motionless. The boys and girls just cried and cried. Let the soldiers persuade each other. No one will leave. Suddenly. A teenager squeezed through the crowd. Probed Shi Danai's snort. Shouted, "Quick. Let's get a go. The general may be saved."
……
However, it was said that Liu Ziqiu led 5,000 nomadic cavalry to cross the Haokan River overnight. Early in the morning, we arrived at Changsong County, thirty miles south of Guzang City. Scouts come to report. The gate of Changsong has not yet been opened. Liu Ziqiu ordered the three armies to rest in a small forest. Not far away, there was a sudden commotion on the main road. I vaguely saw a group of people walking in the direction of Changsong County. Liu Ziqiu led a hundred and ten soldiers to quietly surround him. Waved his hand slightly. The soldiers rode forward. Surround the crowd in the midst of it.
Liu Ziqiu shouted in a deep voice: "No one shouts. Whoever shouts will be killed."
He has a lot of inner strength. It's not loud. but it shook people's ears and hurt. The crowd was terrified." Plop, plop" fell to his knees. When Liu Ziqiu looked at it again. It turned out that they were all vegetable farmers who went to the city to sell vegetables. Someone is pushing a cart. Someone carries a burden. Fruits, fruits and vegetables are scattered all over the place.
There was a bolder vegetable farmer crouching forward. He kowtowed, "Great King. The little ones are poor. Only these fruits and vegetables. If the king is in the spot. Take it away. I hope to spare the lives of the little ones."
Liu Ziqiu suddenly had an idea. Said: "Everything is left. I took off all my clothes."
There are a few vegetable farmers who are still unwilling. But I saw the steel knives around me. I had to swallow my anger. Fortunately, the weather has been warm these days. One by one, they stripped off and only their underwear was left. Shivering though. But I can barely hold on. Liu Ziqiu beckoned to Ji Rentai. Ji Rentai took a bag of silver. There are more than fifty taels.
Liu Ziqiu handed the silver to the vegetable farmers. said, "I bought all these dishes. The carts and burdens were also all requisitioned. The money is used as compensation."
A few vegetable farmers originally thought that their lives were not guaranteed. I didn't expect there to be any money to be taken. All overjoyed. The bolder vegetable farmer asked, "I wonder on which mountain the king made his fortune."
"You're really thinking of me as a robber who cut the path." Liu Ziqiu scolded with a smile. I am the army of the Great Sui. Come and put down the rebellion. Borrow your clothes for a use. If you can't bear these things. I'll go into town and get it later."
Then. Some soldiers have already changed into the clothes of vegetable farmers. Carrying a burden. Pushing the cart. I went to the city gate.
The East is getting brighter. The gates creaked. Slowly open it." Vegetable farmers" flocked in. The gatekeeper scolded and stopped him. Taxes are about to be collected. Suddenly, there was a flash of cold light. The steel knife has been framed on the neck. There are a few whistles from "vegetable farmers". Outside the city. A large battalion of cavalry galloped forward. Wake up the defenders of the city. But it's too late for them to stop it. The speed of the cavalry was very fast. Galloping through the streets of the city. Occupied four gates. Occupied the county office. Poor Changsong County Ling still has a hangover and has not woken up. and became a captive.
After entering the city. Liu Ziqiu paused for a while. He led the army to kill Bengu Zang. At this time. It's dawn. Many people have gone into the fields. The intense autumn harvest began. When Feng Xiaoci left Wuwei last night. Someone has been sent to inform the chiefs and township chiefs of the villages and towns.jǐng has been informed that there may be a nomadic tribe invasion.The people who were working in the fields immediately panicked when they saw thousands of cavalry appearing on the road.Many people fled home in a hurry before they even had time to pack up their farm tools.They didn't have much property in the first place.They were soft and had already packed up.The little baggage was carried on their backs.The women and children were dragged to the nearby ravines and jungles to take refuge.Now it was important to save their lives.The ripe crops in the fields were also abandoned.
These 5,000 cavalrymen were freed slaves. Many of them were good at farming before they were taken captive. See golden ears of grain in a field. I couldn't help but whisper: "Look at this situation. This year's crops should be abundant."
An experienced soldier shook his head and said, "I can't say. You see. Such good weather. But no one came to reap it. In case of rain. That's all over."
Although Liu Ziqiu grew up in the countryside, he also grew up. But he didn't do much farm work. I don't know what it is. Listened to the small talk of the soldiers. I can't help but hold the horse. Asked, "If you don't harvest now. What's going to be in trouble."
A soldier said, "My lord. If you don't hurry up the harvest. Millet is likely to sprout on the branches. This year, the output will be reduced or even eliminated."
"It's so serious." Liu Ziqiu was taken aback. Turning around, he commanded. Dismount as a whole. Those who can do farm work help the people harvest the crops. He doesn't do farm work and goes to nearby villages to find people. Tell them not to panic. Let them come back and get back to work."
Da was stunned and frowned: "Lord. If so. Our whereabouts will be revealed. Guzang City can only be stormed."
"Attack and attack." Liu Ziqiu waved his hand unquestionably. said." The people will go hungry without harvest. It is the right way to help the people solve their problems first."
