Chapter 109 Stepping Through, That Is the Road
The speed of the cavalry was very fast, and some of the chaotic people on the edge of the camp had just sounded the alarm, and some still looked around after hearing the alarm, and Wu Shigong and these cavalry had already charged to the edge of the camp.
The chaotic people on the edge of the camp had no time to hide, let alone pick up their weapons. Some of them were kicked away by the horses' hooves, and some were trampled into mud by the horses' hooves.
Seeing this situation, the rebels who were a little closer to the camp quickly moved out of the way, and no rebels dared to block the line of Wu Shigong's charge. Therefore, after Wu Shigong and the others ran a certain distance, the speed of the horses did not slow down.
At this time, Xue Qiang had already found a target in the camp, he adjusted the direction of the horses, and rushed towards this target. The guards behind, who also followed Xue Qiang's horse, still lined up in a triangular formation and charged over.
When Master Namu heard the commotion in the camp, he pushed away the daughter of a large family who had been tossed by him all night before, got out of the tent, jumped onto a cart, and looked in the direction where the commotion sounded.
Don't say it, Master Mu still pays attention to his image, and he also has a very standardized professional attire. It was he who got out of the tent and jumped into the cart in such a short period of time, he had already put on the robe on his body and put on the hat of the Tang monk.
The direction of Wu Shigong's charge was from west to east, and it was early in the morning, and the sun had just risen in the east. Although the rising sun made Wu Shigong a little dazzling. However, the sun also shone on Master Mu. Whether it is Master Mou's yellow robe, or the hat of Tang Seng on his head, they all look dazzling in the sun.
Such a clear target, so if Xue Qiang doesn't go to him, who else will he go to?
In fact, when Grand Master Namu had just jumped into the cart, Wu Shigong and his cavalry were still some distance away from him. However, when Master Mu saw Wu Shigong and his cavalry, and saw Wu Shigong and their cavalry rushing towards him, Wu Shigong and their cavalry were already very close to Master Mu's cart.
Frightened, Grand Master Mu hurriedly jumped out of the cart and wanted to escape, but was immediately trampled into pulp by the torrent of cavalry.
The glorious image of Master Mu was not only seen by Xue Qiang, but also by the nearby Holy Spirit Society. When these chaotic people saw that Archmage Mu was trampled to pulp, they all shouted loudly in panic: "Archmage has killed the official army!" ”
These cries caused the entire camp of the Holy Spirit to be in complete chaos. All the rebels fled like flies without heads.
At this time, Wu Shigong's triangular formation was actually a little scattered. The location where Master Mu is located is the place where the tents and carts are concentrated in the camp of the chaotic people, and it is also the place where the leader of the Holy Spirit Society lives. Moreover, in order to protect Master Mu, the elder brother of the Holy Spirit Society's cathar team is basically concentrated in this place.
After Wu Shigong and his cavalry rushed over, although they also killed most of the leaders of the Holy Spirit Society and those senior brothers of the cathars, due to the obstruction of tents and carts, and because of the killing of those leaders and senior brothers, the speed of Wu Shigong's cavalry also slowed down.
I saw that although the chaotic people around were running around, none of the chaotic people dared to approach Wu Shigong's cavalry. Xue Yongli simply took back the command from Xue Qiang, asked the cavalry to stop their horses, and sorted out the formation again. The formation of this arrangement is the regular "wave strike" formation of the cavalry.
Wu Shigong and the others only had more than 200 horses, of course, it was impossible for the center to bloom, and they scattered to chase and kill the fleeing rebels. They lined up in three rows and rushed towards the rioters in one direction.
The cavalry of the first platoon was the first to drive their horses into the crowd of fleeing rebels at high speed, and the cavalry spears in their hands could even pierce through three or four rioters at once. Then they threw down their spears, drew their sabers, and slashed at the rioters around them.
When the speed of the horses had slowed down, the cavalry in the first row spread out to the sides and lined up on the zuihou side of the cavalry formation.
At this time, the second platoon of cavalry also drove their horses into the crowd of rebels at high speed. Then comes the third row......
Wu Shigong also slashed and chopped with a katana, feeling a feeling of a tiger entering the flock. And these rebels only know how to escape, and none of them have the courage to take up weapons and resist such a moment.
And in front of the escape route of these rioters, there is a river running across it. Of course, the swimmers jumped down the river and swam to the other side. However, people who couldn't swim were crowded on the banks of the river. However, the rebels behind them were chased and killed by Wu Shigong and them. The back pushes the front, and the front keeps falling into the river. It didn't take much effort, and the river was densely packed with corpses.
The rioters gathered on the banks of the river became denser and denser, and the screams and cries resounded in the sky. I don't know who among the chaotic people first shouted: "Grandpa Guanjun!" Spare your life! ”
With his pleas for mercy, one, two...... Gradually, Wu Shigong and them were begging for mercy. Xue Yongli looked at Wu Shigong, and Wu Shigong nodded to Xue Yongli. Xue Yongli shouted with the cavalry: "Kneel down and surrender without killing!" ”
Without much effort, Wu Shigong knelt in front of them with dense chaos of people.
All the cavalry were excited. They cried out and shouted, "We are alive!" "We are all alive! ”
In this battle, there were no casualties except for a few cavalrymen who sprained the rebellious people by exerting too much force.
Wu Shigong was also very excited, and even the war horse under him was also excited. The horse suddenly neighed, lifted its front hooves off the ground, and stood upright. Fortunately, Wu Shigong has also undergone such a long time of riding training, he tightened the reins of the horse, and with this favorite war horse, he came to a cool shape.
When the war horse landed on all fours, Wu Shigong jumped off the war horse. And the war horse was still excitedly circling Wu Shigong with joy. Wu Shigong patted the neck of his war horse and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are so crazy, I will call you crazy in the future." ”
At this time, Wu Shigong was soaked all over his body. The blood of those chaotic people penetrated through the gaps in the iron armor around Wu Shigong's body, soaking the cotton armor inside. Wu Shigong felt sticky and very uncomfortable.
Wu Shigong saw a tea shed next to him, and walked towards the tea shed, accompanied by several guards who also jumped off the horse. When he encountered the chaotic people who were kneeling on the ground and some were blocking the way, Wu Shigong waved the katana in his hand and slashed several one after another. The other rebels hurriedly crawled to both sides to make way for Wu Shigong and them.
At this time, Wu Shigong heard the cry of a child among the kneeling rebels, so he looked in that direction. As soon as she saw Wu Shigong's eyes, the child's mother hurriedly covered her child's mouth with her hand in horror.
Wu Shigong looked at them, and ignored them, he walked to the tea shed, found a clean step, took off the iron armor and cotton armor on his upper body, and wiped the blood on his upper body with his bare shoulders.
While wiping the blood, Wu Shigong shouted loudly: "There is no road in this world, and if you step on someone's head, that is the road." ”
Just when Wu Shigong entered the tea shed, the Qi County Order summoned the local gentry outside Yao Yuanwai to discuss together. The topic they discussed must be: After Wu Shigong left, what should be done for the defense of the county seat.
Qi County made them unanimously think: Wu Shigong went to rescue Guide Mansion City this time, and he must be more than lucky. Just think about it and you understand. Wu Shigong only had about 200 cavalry, and he had to face tens of thousands of people in the Holy Spirit Society. Wu Shigong is not a heavenly general.
Qi County ordered them to judge: Wu Shigong's most happy ending is that he saw that the chaos of the Holy Spirit Society was great, and he shrank and preserved his strength. However, the task of rescuing the city of Defu was not completed.
Now, Qi County made them less worried about the defense of the county seat. Because, now the second wall of the county has been built, and the construction of the third wall has also begun.
In addition, the young and strong people in the county town also began to receive basic military training, and they were supplemented by the soldiers and strong men who guarded the county seat. Qi County made them have a bottom in their hearts. With the kind of siege ability of the Holy Spirit to reassure the people, it will definitely not be able to capture the county seat.
Deliberation and deliberation are discussed, and the topic of discussion is off topic. They discussed the issue of confiscation of the land of the rebels in the county who participated in the Holy Spirit Meeting.
Although the land of these rioters will definitely be confiscated by the government. However, after the government confiscates the land, it will definitely sell it to the private sector. Of course, it was sold to the local gentry outside Yao Yuanwai. Moreover, as long as filial piety is in place, the price of this land will definitely not be high.
At this time, some gentry asked: Is it to give Wu Shigong less public land. In that case, the gentry would receive more land for sale.
However, some gentry raised objections: Wu Shigong had contributed to the defense of the county after all, and Wu Shigong had already reached an agreement with the gentry. Isn't this overturning of the agreement a bit of a credibility?
Qi County Ling resolutely made a decision at this time: as long as Wu Shigong came back in disgrace this time, then Wu Shigong would at most offset his merits and demerits. Wu Shigong didn't dare to make any excessive demands. And, since you want to do it, do it thoroughly. simply didn't give Wu Shigong an acre of land. All the confiscated land was sold to these gentry.
If the land is sold, the Qi County Order will definitely be able to make a big profit. He's also going to make a windfall when he leaves. Qi Xian Ling sneered in his heart. He despised Wu Shigong's naivety. Qi County Ling thought in his heart: "I haven't seen the government talk to anyone about credibility." ”
If Wu Shigong knew that the current Qi County Order's thoughts were exactly the same as what he said to Dong Yun when he was the commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division in the capital, I don't know if he would be so angry that he vomited blood.
However, Qi County ordered these people to not expect that Wu Shigong not only won a big victory, but also quelled the rebellion of the Holy Spirit Society. Moreover, the more than 200 cavalry brought by Wu Shigong also had almost zero damage.
