Chapter 5 Suddenly Caught in Chaos and Retreated from the Enemy on a Single Horse
When the era of the Great Jin Dynasty, when did Yizhou, which was originally comfortable and wealthy, start the chaos, countless people in later generations will think that it started from the military rebellion at the end of July of the first year of Yong'an. For people who are not good at keeping track of the exact number of days, it is not clear and it does not matter what day it is in July. But for the people of Pixian and even CD at that time, it was a nightmare that they would never want to experience again.
It's just that these surviving people didn't know at the time that this was only the beginning of that catastrophe, and that a bigger and longer nightmare was yet to come.
When the new Yizhou Thorn Shi Cui Can led his entourage to the west gate of the CD, the Yizhou civil and military officials who had been waiting for a long time immediately greeted him warmly. Just as they were happily talking to the new envoy, a huge bed crossbow flying down from the tall walls of CD City instantly shattered the unsuspecting fourth-rank cultivator Cui Can and even the people and cars. Along with this, not only were there thousands of arrows on the city wall, but also a large group of knights led by the cavalry governor Xu Yan, who had been waiting for a long time to attack, roared out.
Although the guards under the city, whether it is Cui Can's entourage, or the local civil and military forces in Yizhou, almost all of them are monks, and they all have the power to fight. But in such a hurry, coupled with Cui Can's instant death, the people under the leaderless group of dragons were scurrying around like headless flies, and the sound of crying and screaming suddenly rang out.
Gao Ming was not in this accompanying team.
He's never liked the occasion of a send-off. When the massacre under the city began, he was taking Wang Tianyun, Cui Wen, and Gao Lin and Gao Xiang to go shopping in the county seat of Pixian, until they heard a rush of horns sounding on the wall of Pixian County, and he realized that something must have happened.
When they hurried to the county office, they learned of the surprise attack outside the west gate of the CD from the monk who was the first to run back to report the news. When Cui Wen heard the news that his father had died, she burst into tears helplessly. And Wang Tianyun comforted her best friend, but worried about her family.
Gao Ming did not hesitate, and after instructing Wang Tianyun a few words, he rode out on a horse against the flow of people who were constantly pouring into Pixian County.
Pixian is very close to CD, which is only 100 miles away. Gao Ming galloped all the way, and along the way, monks in different costumes continued to run madly towards Pixian. Some of these people's faces are impressive, some are not. He kept stopping the fleeing monks and inquiring about Wang Zhan's whereabouts, and finally learned from a soldier in armor that Wang Zhan and the others were besieged on a small hill northwest of CD.
After learning the news that Wang Zhan was not dead, Gao Ming breathed a long sigh of relief. However, this relaxed mood did not last long. The closer you get to the CD, the more dead bodies pile up along the way. A lot of scattered rebels were pulling the dead bodies on the ground one by one, searching for the loot.
Looking at these scenes, Gao Ming remembered all the things in Shangluo again, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but burn. After he had slashed his sword and killed several soldiers with guns and knives who had come before him, no one in the rebels dared to stop him.
He didn't have time to pay attention to the stragglers, and rode his horse for dozens of minutes, until he finally saw a large group of military horses besieging a small hill in front of him.
Gao Ming didn't say a word, holding a shield in his left hand and a gun in his right hand, and as soon as he clamped the horse's belly, the horse under his crotch immediately rushed towards the army of five or six hundred people.
"Who's coming?" shouted at Gao Ming from the ranks of the other side, a knight with bright armor, a big red horse in his crotch, and a pair of iron whips in his hand.
Gao Ming didn't answer, and rushed over to meet the other party's convenience. When the man saw him like this, he glared angrily, shouted, and knocked the spear stabbed by Gao Ming with the iron whip in his left hand, and the iron whip in his right hand drew a black shadow towards Gao Ming.
"Dang!" said to him, who has always been known for his bravery, he didn't knock open the opponent's spear with a whip, and as soon as the iron whip in his right hand reached the highest place, the person was directly pierced by the spear in Gao Ming's hand and fell off the horse with the armor and the person.
Seeing that his own people were stabbed to death by the other party just by looking at him, he rushed out dozens of horses in an uproar, each brandishing various weapons and swarming towards Gao Ming.
Seeing so many people rushing together, Gao Ming was not afraid, shielded his left and shot his right, and kept killing. His riding skills were not very clever originally, and since he left Shangluo, he has only slowly honed them along the way. Although he is still not clever, his dragon transformation technique at this time has already achieved a small success, and his strength is rare in the world. Coupled with his unparalleled fighting skills, there is no one who can do it. No matter what kind of cultivation the other party is, he was stabbed off the horse by Gao Ming.
After he stabbed the thirteenth knight in succession, when he looked up again, the faces of the remaining sergeants showed a look of shock and panic.
10,000 enemies!
Many people have the same word in their minds.
As a result, wherever the clever people went, everyone quickly dodged to the side, and no one dared to step forward to meet the enemy. After being rushed by Gao Ming a few times, the team of these hundreds of people finally collapsed.
Not to mention that Gao Ming escorted Wang Zhan and the others all the way back to Pi County, let's just say that in the Yizhou Thorn History Mansion, the riding governor Xu Yanzheng and Changshi Du Shu were arguing violently, but Zhao Min on the side was embarrassed.
From killing Cui Can to cavalry raids, all of this came from Xu Yan's arrangement. Therefore, Xu Yan felt that he should be the first to make the contribution. So after he killed everyone outside the city, he came back and asked Zhao Min to ask for the post of supervisor of Badong County. In his opinion, Patong County is a small area, and his requirements are really not excessive. But as soon as he spoke, Zhao Min was still groaning, but Du Shu couldn't even say anything.
Xu Yan had long suspected that Du Shu often betrayed Zhao Min behind his back, and at this moment his request was vetoed by Du Shu, and he went out of the Assassin's Mansion with hatred. Every time he went out, he happened to meet Li Yang and others who were leading a team of militia horses. Xu Yan's heart moved, and he said in his heart Since you Zhao Min Du Shu are unkind, don't blame me Xu Yan for being unjust. He was originally one of Zhao Min's henchmen, and he knew a lot about Zhao Min's plans.
For these displaced people, Zhao Min and others are also at ease. Du Shu and Zhang Can gave Zhao Min a plan last night, asking for both grace and power. Specifically, when Li Yang came tomorrow, he asked people to lead him into the back room, and then beheaded Li Yang on the spot on the pretext that he wanted to rape the female relatives of the Zhao Mansion. In this way, he has established his authority and pulled out one of Li Xiang's sharpest minions. Then he sent someone to crown Li Xiang as a general and let him lead his troops to serve. According to Du Shu, with such a combination of grace and power, Li Xiang must tremble and dare not have two hearts.
Xu Yan stopped Li Yang and told Li Yang about Du Shu's conspiracy. Li Yang was shocked when he heard this. Although his cultivation is amazing, when he encounters this kind of major event, he has always been the only one who looks forward to his brother Li Xiangma. At this moment, his brother was not around, and he was skeptical and hesitant.
"General Li," Xu Yan looked at him and continued, "I, Xu Yan, only saw clearly today that Zhao Min was so stupid, and Du Shu and Zhang Can's two villains formed a party to be jealous and jealous. Anyway, you and I have made a big mistake in attacking and killing Yizhou Assassin Shi, so it's better not to do it endlessly, taking advantage of the current emptiness, the two of us will join forces to take down Zhao Min and others in one fell swoop and send them to the imperial court. In this way, it is a great achievement. I wonder what the general thinks?"
Hearing Xu Yan's words, Li Yang was even more shocked.
The education he received since he was a child, and the characters he came into contact with were all words that must be talked about, loyalty and filial piety. His eldest brother Li Xiang had been pondering until late at night the night before before nodding and agreeing to Du Shu with tears in his eyes.
After Du Shu left, his eldest brother called their brother to him and said, "It is not my intention to do such an unfaithful and unrighteous thing. It's just that these tens of thousands of lives are tied to my Li Xiang, and it is really a great responsibility. In just 20 years, Xitu has suffered two military rebellions, and many people from your clan have died because of this. Since we have come to Yizhou, we should not return to Xitu unless we have to. Although Zhao Yuanjun's move was disloyal, it was dangerous in Shu, as long as he raided and won the Sword Pavilion Pass, he could rest easy. If the action is unfavorable, you will cut off my head as soon as possible and ask Cui Hou for the guilt. Remember, remember. ”
Although Li Yang's cultivation is extremely profound, he is a very simple person. When he heard Xu Yan's words, he felt deep fear and anger.
Why is this person so flamboyant, how can he be so capricious.
"General Xu's words, I, Li Yang, dare not agree. Li Yang hugged his fists on the horse, "I'll return to Mianzhu now, and everything will be ordered by my eldest brother." General Xu, take care. ”
Watching Li Yang turn around and lead everyone away, Xu Yan spat viciously and scolded: "Ba Yi barbarian, what a fool." Lao Tzu shouldn't have told you that just now, so that you could taste Du Shu's tricks. ”
