Chapter 4: The Deceased
About half an hour later, Tian Guang got up and went back to the barracks.
The early spring sun shone on Su Ming's emaciated face, and there was a slight temperature on his dirty face.
"Assemble and get ready for battle!"
Before the soldiers could get up, they were awakened. "Hurry up, the officers and soldiers are coming. A soldier ran from the direction of the city gate in a panic, shouting as he ran, "The officers and soldiers of Fengshan Mansion are here, and they are less than five miles away from here." ”
The news exploded like thunder, and the soldiers put on their uniforms. Not all of them had uniforms, in fact, they were still taken from the government, and only more than 10,000 soldiers of the 20,000 rebels had clothes to wear.
"Hurry, hurry. ”
Tian Guang, who was wearing armor, frowned slightly, and was also a little anxious. This Fengshan Mansion is the first to strike, Fengshan Mansion is the largest number of troops in Nanfeng County, and it is also the richest, but fortunately, it didn't take much time for them to capture Luoxia Town yesterday, and they saved a lot of physical strength. The biggest headache is that although the troops of Fengshan Mansion and the other two towns are not 10,000, they have strong combat effectiveness!
Not only Tian Guang, but also the generals of the other three battalions were also anxious.
"Panic what!"
A loud roar, like a fierce tiger king in the deep mountains, calmed down everyone's panicked scene.
Su Ming in the distance fixed his eyes and saw that a big man with a beard and a hairy face in front of him was walking from outside the barracks, nearly two meters tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, especially the momentum that was not angry and arrogant, and everyone retreated everywhere he passed. Wearing the same brown uniform as the soldier, he carried a three-inch-wide and three-foot-long steel knife on his back.
"Look at your cowardice, it's still a big deal, don't embarrass me. As soon as the mighty man came up, he scolded the four generals, and the faces of the four were red and white, and they bowed their heads and said nothing, "What are you afraid of, the other party is afraid of us, so he took the lead in fighting with us, in fact, Ben Shuai has already seen it, otherwise how did the news come from, I have already been prepared." ”
It seems that the other party is the commander of the rebel army, Su Ming glanced at it, there were two brushes, and he immediately stabilized the panicked mood just now.
"The Xuanwu Camp and the Vermilion Bird Camp are guarding the city gate, the Qinglong Camp, the White Tiger Camp, follow me. The mighty boss took the lead in going out to greet the escort team of more than 20 people around him.
When Su Ming heard this, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was happy in his heart: It's good that he can't go to the front line. Then he began to think about how to escape, for him, whoever dominates the people has the same fate, and they are not good people anyway.
Tian Guang ordered several squad leaders to disperse their forces on the city wall, and ordered the rest of the people to find some gravel and stones in the city, because there were not so many arrows.
Su Ming was too small to pull a bow and arrow, so he could only go to find a stone, so he took this opportunity to put the fifty taels of silver tickets into his underwear and paste it, put the meteorite fragment on his chest, and found a dozen or so broken stones to deal with it.
The officers and soldiers who came to encircle and suppress came from the south, and soon surrounded the entire town. Su Ming was assigned to the north city wall, hiding behind an archer, his main task was to load the archer with bows and arrows, if the arrows were shot after the stones, if the opponent was strong, the archers would kill the opponent with a knife, Su Ming used a dagger, mending knives, mainly weapons were also very scarce, and he was also assigned a sharpened dagger. The dagger is about four inches long, sharp on both sides, and the blade does not have much luster, which seems to be some age.
No matter, it's good to have it. Su Ming didn't worry about whether this dagger could kill the incoming enemy, and whether he could run away or not.
The commander of the officers and soldiers is also a tall man, named Zhu Changgui, who is fighting to the death with the commander of the rebel army at the moment, with a knife and a halberd, the two of them are killed from the war horse to the ground, and finally Zhu Changgui is a step ahead, cutting the throat of the other party, and he fell to the ground and died in a moment.
"Hahahaha," Zhu Changgui looked up to the sky and roared, and said proudly: "Your boss is dead, it's still too late to surrender, if we wait for us to break through the city gate, hehe, you should be able to guess the consequences." ”
"Kill, avenge the boss!"
There are still quite a few rebels who do not want to surrender and make a final struggle.
"Damn, give me an attack, I'm going to take it in half an hour. Zhu Changgui was a little annoyed, and with a wave of his halberd, the soldiers in the first row behind him held shields, while those behind him held bows and arrows, and some individuals held long bamboo ladders ready to climb the wall.
"Kill!"
The officers and soldiers shouted, which really startled the soldiers on the city wall.
Soon, the two sides were at war, and a war scene similar to that of the ancient Huaxia Kingdom slowly unfolded.
Su Ming was a little scared, and a little afraid, the archer in front of him only shot two arrows, and he was shot through the head by the other party's arrow.
There is still a difference between this amateur and professional, Su Ming squatted under the city wall, threw the gravel in his hand without looking at it, Su Ming saw it, this defeat is decided, hurry up.
The main battlefield in the south was the first to miss, and after a while, the city gate was breached, killing, at this time the officers and soldiers were red-eyed, except for surrendering, the rest of the rebels were killed. It is also ridiculous to say that those officers and soldiers who surrendered to the rebel army yesterday have surrendered again at this moment, not only them, but also more than 20,000 rebels, 10,000 of whom have surrendered, and the first thing they did was to ask for breakfast, and even Zhu Changgui couldn't stand it.
Su Ming knew that he couldn't go back as soon as he fled, and someone must know him when he went back, the punishment for desertion was very serious, and he was looked down upon.
Su Ming was wearing the clothes of an officer and soldier, taking advantage of the other party's inattention, and ran in the northwest direction. To the northwest is another county of the Yue Kingdom: Lanshan County.
There are four prefectures in Lanshan County, Qingping Mansion, Songnan Mansion, Xinshan Mansion, and Jianchang Mansion. Su Ming saw the city wall of Johor Bahru Mansion from a distance, and was surprised and quickened his pace.
I still heard about the battle in Nanfeng County, Su Ming thought about it, he didn't enter the city, the government won the battle, he had no reason to escape, he couldn't say that he was going to his relatives, the city gate was very strict, and his body was searched, Su Ming didn't want his hard-won opportunity to be exposed.
Su Ming had already taken off his official uniforms, wore his previous shabby clothes, hid in the mountains outside the city, and found some wild fruits to fill his stomach when he was hungry.
Su Ming was speechless, probably the Northern and Southern Dynasties were so chaotic, Su Ming let out a sigh of emotion, left Xinshan Mansion, traveled west from the periphery, and arrived at Qingping Mansion in the afternoon two days later. The guards of Qingping Mansion were relatively loose, and Su Ming followed a caravan into the city.
went to the pawnshop to redeem the silver taels, and the current silver tickets are still used nationwide. Su Ming first found an inn, rented a room, went out to buy a few clothes, and after coming back to wash, he went to the hall on the first floor to order three dishes and one soup.
"Su Ming, why are you here!" Su Ming was shocked, someone actually knew me, and when I looked back, it was Aunt Liu from Xu Ji Inn, she was actually doing chores here, Su Ming was a little emotional, and the unhappiness between the two of them was swept away.
Aunt Liu is a local, and this inn just happened to be short of people, so she came to do chores. Su Ming asked Boss Xu if they had any news, Aunt Liu said that she was not clear and had no contact, but she had heard that Boss Xu had a relative in the country.
Saying goodbye to Aunt Liu, Su Ming returned to the guest room and rested.
At night, there was a faint "click" sound on the roof, Su Ming woke up, and then the window of the next room moved.
Su Ming got out of bed, tiptoed to the wall, and listened to the other party's movements.
"Senior brother, have you found out?" a slightly immature male voice sounded.
"Be quiet, it's all done, you see. The hoarse man also said in a low voice, "Two, one for each of us, the big one for you, put it away, don't be known by the master." ”
"Thank you, senior brother, I won't tell the master. ”
Then the two said a few more words, but there was no news.
