Chapter 198: Hengzhou Blood
Although the battle at the border pass was fierce, it still did not reach the ears of Jiang Chongwei, who was about to raise troops to stand on his own. These days, he and his son Jiang Wang are sending the people of Hengzhou back to nearby Bingzhou and Xingzhou in batches, and sending the recruit generals who are still stranded in the big camp in the city to the recruit village outside the city.
On this day, Jiang Chongwei and Jiang Wangwei were discussing the date of restoring the banner and officially raising troops to stand on their own, when a city gate official ran into the Assassin's Mansion in a panic, knelt in front of Jiang Chongwei, and said in a loud voice: "Tell Lord Assassin Shi, Lord Marquis Junji, the squire of the military department, came outside the city and said that he would read out the holy decree of sealing Lord Thorn Shi."
"Seal me? Will Li Shimin be so good?" Jiang Chongwei sneered and asked.
"Daddy, Hou Jun is good at flying eaves and walking walls, raiding and assassinating techniques, beware of him being unfavorable to you." Jiang Wangshen said in a deep voice.
"Hmph, how can I let him get his wish, come, carry my bow and arrows." Jiang Chongwei stood up proudly, took the treasure carving bow that he had used for many years from the guards of the Assassin's Mansion, and said loudly, "Forget your son, watch your father shoot an arrow at that Junji monkey."
The two walked quickly to the head of Hengzhou City and looked down at the city. I saw Hou Junji, the famous soldier of the dynasty, sitting leisurely on the high saddle, with a comfortable demeanor, behind him, followed by a thin horse, and immediately holding a sharp-faced man with a big tie.
As soon as Jiang Chongwei saw the embarrassed sharp-faced man, his eyes suddenly turned a fierce blood-red, and he shouted loudly, "Open the city, welcome Lord Shilang of the military department."
"Daddy, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Wangyi thought that Jiang Chongwei was about to give an arrow to the soldier's squire with a monkey face, but when he heard this, he asked in surprise.
"Hehe," Jiang Chongwei threw away the treasure carving bow, flew and rushed down the city wall, and said as he walked, "Wang'er, who is the person you said was tied up with five flowers? It is Zhuge Dewei, the thief who has betrayed his lord and forgotten his righteousness."
"But Daddy!" Jiang Forget had to say that Jiang Chongwei had already hurried more than ten steps, leaving him far behind, and came to the city gate first.
According to Jiang Chongwei's orders, the soldiers guarding the city gate opened the gate of Hengzhou left and right, and let Hou Junji, who was dressed in official uniform, lead the thin horse carrying Zhuge Dewei and enter the city.
Jiang Chongwei couldn't wait to salute the street, his eyes stared at Zhuge Dewei, who was motionless on the horse, barely suppressed the trembling all over, and roared: "Weichen didn't know that the squire of the military department was coming, and he was disappointed, so please forgive me."
"Brother Chongwei doesn't need to be polite." Hou Junji, who was on the horse, smiled slightly, "Recently, there have been many ministers in the government and the opposition who have spread rumors about my brother, polluted the Holy Shangqing, and said that my brother wanted to raise troops to defect to the Turks. Over the years, Brother Ran has trained countless elite soldiers and fierce generals across the battlefield for Datang, and his achievements are brilliant, how can he have a rebellious heart. The Holy Lord specially sent me here to appease my brother, and sent the rumor-monger Zhuge Dewei to my brother's disposal."
"Thank you, Lord Long." When Jiang Chongwei heard the good news, his blood rushed to his mind, and he only felt comfortable and ecstatic. He stood up suddenly, rushed to Zhuge Dewei in one step, and was about to pull him down.
"Daddy, watch out!" Jiang Wang, who came from behind, saw that something was wrong, and shouted anxiously.
At this moment, Zhuge Dewei, who was originally lying on a horse, suddenly rose up, holding a bull's ear sharp knife in his hand, and wiped it towards Jiang Chongwei's neck. Jiang Chongwei didn't expect Zhuge Dewei, who had no power to resist, to have such a move, so he instinctively jumped back, just in time to crash his body into the saber drawn out in Hou Junji's hand, and was restrained by him in just one move.
Zhuge Dewei laughed fiercely, twisted Jiang Chongwei's arm behind his back, and crossed his throat with a sharp knife with a bull's ear, and said sharply: "Jiang Manzi, you still haven't grown up so much after so many years, Lord Hou will make you fall into the middle of it with a little trick."
"Don't hurt my daddy." Seeing this, Jiang Forget was in a hurry and shouted loudly.
"Listen, Jiang Forget. This officer has long known about your rebellion, and if you are willing to let the soldiers and horses of the city lay down their arms, they will be disposed of. I'll spare your father's life, or else you'll wait to collect your father's body." Hou Junji said sharply, and glanced at Zhuge Dewei. Zhuge Dewei nodded understandingly, and drew a shallow blood mark on Jiang Chongwei's neck with a knife.
"Zhuge Dewei, you beast." Jiang Chongwei's eyes were cracked, and he scolded.
"Okay, I'll immediately lead the troops to disarm, don't hurt my father." Jiang forgot to make a decision immediately and shouted.
"Wang'er, don't!" Jiang Chongwei was furious and said sharply.
"Hmph, it's still your righteous son's acquaintance." Zhuge Dewei said triumphantly.
Jiang Chongwei saw Jiang Forget ordering the soldiers to lay down their weapons, his heart was full of horror and anger, he glanced at Zhuge Dewei, who was eager to swallow his flesh alive, and saw that he was smiling and proud at this moment, as if he had foreseen the great future that he would get because of this. This unrighteous beast sold Liu Shuaisheng to Li Jiancheng, and now he wants to sell me to Li Shimin. Jiang Chongwei gritted his teeth, suddenly raised his right hand, which had not lost his freedom, and slammed the bull ear sharp knife in Zhuge Dewei's hand, the sharp blade cut his throat out of a deep knife that was bleeding like an infusion, and then slammed into Zhuge Dewei's right ear, and the entire blade went straight in.
Zhuge Dewei, who was dreaming of being promoted to an official and making a fortune, thought that Jiang Chongwei would have such a move, and howled heartbreakingly, lying straight on the ground in pain, and his whole body twitched wildly.
Jiang Chongwei's throat was bleeding, but he still sat up with his body propped up, staring at Zhuge Dewei who was trembling in pain on the ground, until he swallowed his last breath, he looked up to the sky and opened his mouth to let out a silent laugh, and he fell to the ground with a bang, dying of gas.
"Daddy!" Jiang Forget roared wildly, rushed forward, threw himself on top of Jiang Chongwei's body, and cried loudly.
Although there were some accidents, the goal had been achieved, Hou Junji took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, fled out of the city on horseback, and sent fireworks and rockets. This is a strategy he has already formulated, first deceive the city gate, capture or kill the leader of the Hebei rebels, Jiang Chongwei, and then send a signal to let the soldiers and horses of the states that have been ambushed for a long time attack the city together.
The fireworks bloomed a blood-colored flower in the air, and in the jungle in the southwest of Hengzhou, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses rushed out, and under the leadership of Hou Junji, they killed Hengzhou City.
"Hou Junji!" Looking at the corpse of the only relative in the world, Jiang Forget was furious, looked up to the sky and roared, turned over and jumped on the war horse on the side, and said loudly: "All armed horses, attack." These old people in Hebei have been on the battlefield for a long time, and their movements are all fast, clean and neat. In less than a few incense sticks after Jiang Wang's order, the cavalry of 3,000 people had already lined up and stood up.
I only heard the sound of a cannon in Hengzhou City, and a fierce cavalry unit under the leadership of Jiang Wang, unstoppably slaughtered out of the city, and rushed straight towards Hou Junji's main formation, everyone was saddled and horse-ridden, silent, and the entire cavalry team had no sound except for the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the ground.
Hou Junji raised his hand and raised his sword, and was just about to order the military horses of Zhuzhou to attack, when the three thousand cavalry who rushed towards him suddenly shouted in unison: "Kill --!" This sudden shout sounded like thunder, and the war horses in the ** team were frightened, and began to neigh, scurrying around. "Archer, let --!" Hou Junji, who was trying to control the runaway car, shouted orders in his busy schedule, and as soon as he was halfway through his words, he saw Jiang Forget urging the high-headed horse, rushing to the front in the blink of an eye, and a gun with an iron point just stabbed at his throat. Hou Junji hurriedly leaned back and dodged this killer. Jiang forgot to burst into a shout, swept the spear, and swept the iron gun on the neck of the horse under Hou Junji's crotch. The power of this sweep was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and the horse that was over 100 catties could not withstand it, so he howled miserably, raised his body straight up, and turned over with his head in the sky. Hou Junji was shocked, exclaimed, struggled to get out of the saddle, and with his small and flexible maneuvering skills, dodged the impact of the horse's body, and ran backwards in embarrassment.
Under the 3,000 cavalry led by Jiang Wang, where are the opponents of the newly replenished Tang soldiers in these states, nearly 10,000 horses and horses were rushed to pieces, scattered and fled, Hou Junji fled towards the Tang Imperial Capital under the escort of dozens of relatives, and did not dare to stop for half a step. Jiang Forget led the army to chase out more than 30 miles, captured hundreds of military horses, swords, guns, swords, halberds, and countless flags and gongs and drums, and then returned to the city to hold a funeral for Jiang Chongwei. Since that day, the Hengzhou soldiers will officially support the army and stand on their own.
