Then he saw the unbelievable.
Zhang Mazi, who stood behind Guo Tianliang, poked into Guo Tianliang's waist with a knife, and then drove the handle of the knife, and opened the boss's mouth on Guo Tianliang's body, Guo Tianliang bent to the ground, he covered his stomach in pain, and his intestines seemed to flow out, Zhang Mazi stepped on Guo Tianliang's back with his feet, skillfully got on the horse, cut off the cowhide reins with a knife, and cut down a few chaotic soldiers who ran to him, and pulled the horse, the horse was already impatient to be bound, and as soon as the arrest was released, he neighed wildly, and ran away to turn back, leaving only a slip of smoke and dustγ
In the whole process, Zhang Mazi didn't look at Wang Ergou here, he concentrated and meticulously killed Tianliang, grabbed the horse, galloped and jumped, did not waste half a bit of time, at this time Guotianliang was still rolling on the ground in pain, the feet of the rebels finally stepped on the Tianliang, Wang Ergou scolded a few times, waved the knife hard, wanted to squeeze over, the rebels squeezed over without a head, Wang Ergou used all his strength to squeeze to the side of the Tianliang, only saw the intestines on the ground, and the eyes that the Tianliang did not close.
Wang Ergou scolded: "Zhang Mazi, one day, I will kill you." β
Groups of prisoners were escorted and sent backwards, they lined up in long columns, all of them hung their heads, and the soldiers on guard beat these prisoners with sticks and scabbards from time to time, and they did not dare to resist, and let the officers and soldiers of the escort beat and curse.
Wu Chuanyu looked at the long captives who were escorted back, and asked Fang Yingzhi beside him: "If you let some people go, they won't be killed and captured, right?" Fang Yingchen replied: "Don't worry, Commander, Lord Geng will screen them, some people will be sent back, some people will be sent back to do coolies, in short, they won't kill indiscriminately." Wu Chuanyu calmed down a little.
Now the following should no longer be the captain of the killer team, the authority is handed over to the people below, now he is in charge of a flag team, that is, five killer teams, Wu Chuanyu transferred him to the side, this time the impact of the flank of the militia, although the speed of the infantry can not keep up, but just in case, also used to respond to Zhang Shujiao, Wu Chuanyu insisted on ambushing two flag teams on the Niubei Rock, in case the other party's probe horse went crazy, really want to give up the horse, to attack the mountain, if it is really to let Zhang Shujiao in danger, it is really impossible to come.
Zhang Chengzhong, one of the righteous sons of Zhang Shujiao, rode a horse and ran over, Wu Chuanyu stepped forward and said: "General Zhang, don't you pursue in front?" Zhang Chengzhong said: "We want to, but just now we didn't receive the report at night, there was a banner of the golden rooster Zhang Shun in front, and the banner of a wolf Deng Dezhi, the golden rooster is also counted, but a wolf is not easy to deal with, two combined troops, more than 5,000 people, and more than 800 cavalry, big shields, and horse rejection guns, we can't defeat the other party." Wu Chuanyu said: "I'll go and take a look." Zhang Chengzhong said: "Then be careful yourself, the other side has a lot of cavalry, if you suddenly go crazy and rush over, it is not very safe." Wu Chuanyu said: "Don't worry, my horsepower is well preserved, even if they want to chase me, they can't catch up with me." Zhang Chengzhong commanded left and right, and more than a dozen cavalry followed Wu Chuanyu, Zhang Chengzhong and Wu Chuanyu had a good relationship, so they were also more careful.
Wu Chuanyu didn't say much, he spurred his horse, and Fang Yingzhi and a few personal soldiers followed behind, accompanied by more than a dozen cavalrymen, and the group trotted forward, going against the flow of cavalry, and went to Zhang Shunbu and Deng Dezhi in front.
Along the way, they saw a long line of captives, and they all walked backwards, they threw their weapons, and lined up, but they could not see that the men among them were the leaders, and those were small soldiers, all wearing blue and black cotton jackets, and many of them showed their black faces.
Wu Chuanyu saw the place where the battle just now, Guo Tianliang's flag was thrown on the side of the road, Guo Tianliang is not a famous thief, so his head and flag are not worth anything, no one to cut, now Guo Tianliang can no longer see the human form, he was trampled into a meatloaf, if it were not for the cloak and armor on the corpse, no one would recognize it.
A sturdy captive was digging a pit in the ground, because as a prisoner, there was no weapon, he could only use his hands to dig on the ground, and his hands were digging out blood, but he didn't stop, a personal guard next to Wu Chuanyu whispered: "Master, this is a personal soldier under Guo Tianliang, it seems to be called Wang Ergou or something, I have seen it a few times, he is now thinking about burying Guo Tianliang." "This guard is none other than Zhang Chong of Yidou Valley, after Wu Chuanyu saved Zhang Chong of Yidou Valley, Zhang Chong became Wu Chuanyu's personal soldier, Wu Chuanyu called him a personal soldier, but Zhang Chong called himself a slave, Zhang Chong was grateful to Wu Chuanyu for saving his only remaining brothers, and he was grateful to Wu Chuanyu.
Wu Chuanyu said: "Give him an iron pickaxe and let him bury the old master." Zhang Chong rode his horse and left the team, said a few words to the officers and soldiers who escorted him, selected an iron pickaxe from the weapons thrown down all over the ground, and threw it over Wang Ergou on the side.
Wang Ergou took the iron pickaxe, looked at Wu Chuanyu here, and then looked at Zhang Chong, lying on the ground and kowtowing to Wu Chuanyu, and then without saying a word, he began to dig and bury it, in this sandy and gravel ground, it is not easy to dig a pit, many corpses here, the officers and soldiers will not accept them, at most they will only take away the armor and weapons, and the corpses have no time to care, especially when there are enemy troops eyeing them.
Wu Chuanyu said to Fang Yingzhi and the others beside him: "Let's go and take a look at Deng Dezhi and Zhang Shun." Zhang Chong also followed, and the group rode away and headed towards Zhang Chong and Deng Dezhi, who were less than ten miles away.
A black military formation in the distance, behind it is two big flags, one side is painted with a rooster, the golden rooster is illiterate, many rogue militia are illiterate, if you write a "Zhang" word on it, maybe others don't recognize it, and there is not only one surname Zhang in the rogue militia, it is easy to confuse when written, so the ingenious approach of the golden rooster is not to provoke Hu Quan's unhappiness, but Deng Dezhi's flag does not draw a wolf, and honestly wrote a "Deng" word on it.
On both sides are the cavalry that did not get on the horse, the archers behind have already opened their bows, the opposite formation is clean, facing dozens of cavalry, no one has spoken, except for the neighing of horses, there is also the sound of the wind blowing in the air, both sides are staring at each other, Wu Chuanyu saw the corpse of a first-class militiaman in front of the formation, and a dead horse, Wu Chuanyu exclaimed: "How did they kill their own people, it seems that this person is here to report for help, how to let them kill themselves." β
Zhang Chong followed by his side, followed Wu Chuanyu and said: "This seems to be Guo Tianliang's cronies, I can't remember what it's called, master, I said a long time ago that Se Gongzi Guo Tianliang relied on Wang Yingjia to have today's position, as soon as Wang Yingjia died, Guo Tianliang will definitely be liquidated by Se Gongzi, the reason why they didn't save it today may be that Se Gongzi deliberately sent Guo Tianliang to death." β
Wu Chuanyu also wanted to step forward to see a little more clearly, and he couldn't see the other party's main general clearly from a hundred and eighty steps away, Wu Chuanyu also wanted to see what kind of people Zhang Shun and Deng Dezhi were, so he stepped forward, Zhang Chong said: "Master be careful, although the golden rooster Zhang Chong fights in general, but his archery skills are good, you see this report, it is one hundred and twenty steps to be shot to death, the master still don't look at it." β
Wu Chuanyu said: "Then how can it be done, maybe the other side is just a virtual appearance, put on a show to scare me, etc., I have to see a little clearly." After saying that, Zhang Chong on the side hurriedly followed, and wanted to ride his horse in front, Wu Chuanyu said: "You get out of the way, I've fought so many battles, what are you afraid of?" Zhang Chong had to get out of the way and followed behind, and Fang Yingzhi and others also followed behind Wu Chuanyu.
Wu Chuanyu rode his horse to one hundred and fifty steps, and saw the opponent's military appearance clearly, behind row after row of horse rejection pistols and big shields, there were archers, and then behind, there were groups of armor-clad pacesetters, his temperament Wu Chuanyu had seen it, and he couldn't be wrong. Wu Chuanyu sighed, if Deng Dezhi and Zhang Shun wanted to save Tianliang, it was completely okay, just now they could have advanced with heavy troops and forced the Liao soldiers to turn back, then the Liao soldiers had defeated the Tianliang Department at most just now, and it was impossible to annihilate the Tianliang Department, and most of the Tianliang would not die, it seems that what Zhang Chong said was the truth, and the other party simply wanted to let the Tianliang go to death.
Wu Chuanyu turned his head and said to the people beside him: "Let's go back." "This distance is safe, if you don't know that the other party doesn't have a crossbow, only a bow, then Wu Chuanyu won't dare at one hundred and eighty steps, and the divine arm crossbow can shoot three hundred steps, but this kind of militaristic heavy weapon, the militia does not have it, even among the officers and soldiers, only elite soldiers are equipped.
The group turned their heads and wanted to leave.
Suddenly, I heard Zhang Chong shouting, "Master, be careful." β
"Bang" A sound similar to playing cotton sounded, everyone turned back in shock, and saw a black meteor flying towards Wu Chuanyu, Wu Chuanyu's red cloak and the feathers on the bright helmet made the other party recognize it at once, and Wu Chuanyu did not wear heavy armor in order to save horsepower, if he was shot by the other party, he was afraid that he would be like a dead corpse on the ground.
The meteor flew like lightning, flying past the door where Wu Chuanyu was turning back, Wu Chuanyu's personal soldiers, Fang Yingzhi and the others all opened their mouths wide, looking at Wu Chuanyu in shock, and their hearts were about to jump out of their mouths.
Zhang Shun put down the bow and said, "Fortunately, the craftsmanship was not put down, and this time I was shot." On the one hand, Deng Dezhi showed an appreciative smile, this shot, Deng Dezhi was not sure. The two of them saw the general in the red cloak and stepped forward to watch the military formation, Zhang Shun hid behind the shield, and when the other party turned around, an arrow suddenly shot out, he had already drawn the bow to the full, and shot this arrow, the bow he used just now could no longer be used in the future, he had already broken the bow.
Deng Dezhi looked through the gap in the shield and said: "Okay, this arrow is hitting him in the face, presumably an arrow piercing the skull, he can't live, it looks like a character, otherwise there wouldn't be so many guards, and the horse he sat on is also a good horse, Golden Rooster, you have made a great contribution." β
The golden rooster also looked through the gap in the shield and said with a smile: "It's shot, it's shot." But after he said it twice, he couldn't say it.
Because the figure more than one hundred and fifty paces away suddenly removed his hand from his face, it turned out that he was not covering his wounds, but he actually grabbed the arrow with his hand.
Zhang Chong said: "My mother, I didn't shoot him, I have a three-stone bow, how did he do it, is he made of iron?"
Deng Dezhi also exclaimed: "He actually caught the arrow, I know, this guy is Wu Chuanyu under Fang Yuanhua, it is said that he has the power of a thousand catties, I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it, it's this guy, fighting for Fang Yuanhua's training troops, last time, Hu Haima was also folded in his hand." β
Zhang Chong said: "Do you want to send cavalry to rush up and catch or kill him, this is a big fish, he and Zhang Jiayu are the main generals under Fang Yuanhua, killing him is no less than the great achievement of catching Zhang Shujiao." β
Deng Dezhi hesitated for a moment, and finally did not order the cavalry on both sides to rush up, the other party looked very good on horseback, and once the cavalry was sent, there were fewer people, the enemy was not able to immediately work well with the Liao soldiers, if there were more people than the Liao soldiers, the hundreds of cavalry were buried, and there were no cavalry on both wings, in case the other party attacked in a big way, there would be a certain danger, as long as the other party kept rushing to the two wings with cavalry, and then sent field infantry to fight in formation, then whether it could hold on, but it was a problem, plus just now there was a horse probe who said that he saw the other party's infantry, Deng Yi didn't know how many people there were on the other side, in case there were thousands of field infantry behind him, then send the cavalry, just to catch a Wu Chuanyu, but it is too dangerous. Thinking of this, Deng Dezhi said: "Let's not take risks." β
Wu Chuanyu took the arrow in his hand away, rode the horse closer, and reached the point where the rogue militia on the opposite side could see him, then grabbed the black arrow, folded his hands, broke the arrow into two sections, and then stepped on the horse, turned around, took his own soldiers and cavalry, and rode the horse.
Looking at Wu Chuanyu's back, Deng Dezhi said: "Why don't you come with an arrow again." Zhang Shun touched his arms and said: "My arms are still hurting, I shot an arrow just now, and I have already strained the flesh on my hands, and I am afraid that I will not be able to shoot again for a short time." β
Wu Chuanyu understood that the opponent's large array was indeed not something that could be broken by his own troops, so he immediately decided to turn back, and now that there was a big event in Tai'an City, he must also go back as soon as possible.
Geng Ruji's face was happy, just now the following officials reported to him, more and more people returned from the mountains and forests, now within a hundred miles around Tai'an, there are no displaced people's soldiers, more and more people go home to cultivate, there is a rare tranquility in this land, Geng Ruji sees the peace and quiet outside the city every day, and a sense of pride rises in his heart, and now what he wants most is to raise more seeds, and many large households in the city see the possibility of recovery, and they also begin to take the initiative to provide some grain and grass.
Wu Chuanyu's voice came from below, and he only heard him shouting: "I want to see Lord Geng Ruji, how can I divide the troops now, the militia is obviously fighting the idea of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, can't he see such a strategy?" Geng Ruji heard Wu Chuanyu's voice, sighed, stood up, and went out to pick it up in person.
Geng Qing was blocking Wu Chuanyu and didn't let him come, but when he saw that his master had arrived, he also moved aside, Wu Chuanyu saw the eye droppings in Geng Ruji's eyes, as well as the dust in his hair, so he couldn't bear to say anything serious, so he just said, "I have something to say to you." Geng Ruji knew that Wu Chuanyu didn't want to lose his face in front of everyone, so he took him and entered his study, Wu Chuanyu sat on the chair opposite him, grabbed the tea on the coffee table and took a sip, and then vomited again, the tea was very strong, it was used by Geng Ruji to stay up late, Geng Ruji has been sorting out roster things for a while, and he is refreshing at night, so he naturally wants to make strong tea.
Wu Chuanyu sat down, and said: "I don't talk to you about the scene, and I know that you are not a person who talks about the scene, and you don't know what Cui Guiyuan is, he issued a Jun order, Zhang Shujiao is going back, and he will transfer the more than 2,000 Liao soldiers when he goes back, do you know that the militia is the idea of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, if Tai'an lacks this cavalry, how can I hold the more than 3,000 infantry troops under me and Zhang Jiayu, and then Tai'an will repeat the tragedy of being besieged." β
