Chapter 486 Capture the City

Several militiamen looked at Xiao Jue, and then at the cavalry brigade that came in from the entrance of the village, and the people's faces turned pale and they threw away their weapons one after another. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The militiaman who was restrained by Xiao Jue was very tough, and although he was pinched by the throat, he was still struggling, and his bow and arrow were tightly held in his hand.

Shangguan Xiu rode a tall horse, came to his approach unhurriedly, grabbed the reins, and stood still. Looking down on the horse, the militiaman was in his early twenties, not good-looking, but his eyes were full of hatred.

He asked softly with an expressionless face, "Hate me?"

I didn't get an answer from the other party, only the angry eyes of the other party.

Shangguan Xiu nodded and said, "You should hate me!" As he spoke, he unhurriedly pulled out his ribbed saber, waved his hand and slammed it at it, poof, slashed the young man's chest with a knife, and blood spurted out.

Xiao Jue let go, and the corpse fell to the ground. Shangguan Xiu shook off the blood stains on the knife and put the knife into the sheath.

From beginning to end, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, and killing one person was like slaughtering a chicken. In Ningnan, there is no such thing as indiscriminate killing of innocents, and here, for him, everyone is an enemy, and there is no distinction between soldiers and civilians.

Shangguan Xiu's cruelty frightened the other militiamen into a ball, and one by one they involuntarily knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads in the slightest.

He glanced to the left and right, said nothing, slammed his stirrups with his feet, and continued on his way, swaggering past several kneeling militiamen. Ferry view > see the most > new chapter > section

I hadn't gone far when I saw a gray-haired old man and two strong men dressed as villagers running in front of me.

The three of them all saw the young man's body, their faces changed, the old man looked up at Shangguan Xiu, hurriedly bowed his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiao ...... The little old man is the village leader of Bang Village, I don't know ...... I wonder what I can do for you?"

Shangguan Xiu looked at him and said, "We are the Wind Army. ”

"Yes, yes, little old man knows. ”

"Tonight, our army will spend the night here. ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

"The soldiers of our army, who have been marching for days, have been tired of boats and horses, if there are living creatures in the village, can you send more? ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

"Recently, can there be a Ningnan army stationed in Nanbang Mountain?"

"Yes yes yes ......"

"Huh?" The old man nodded and got used to it, and when he heard Shangguan Xiu's questioning, he suddenly reacted, shook his head again and again, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, there is no army stationed in the mountains of Nanbang!"

"Lies?"

"No, no, no, the little old man doesn't dare to lie in front of adults. ”

"Huh. Shangguan Xiu smiled, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and walked forward.

This small village is not big, and it cannot accommodate 15,000 soldiers and horses, and the gendarmerie is camped next to the village, and the camp has not yet been arranged, and the village is leading a group of villagers to send a lot of chickens, ducks, geese, and other poultry.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Feng Army were all happy, as Shangguan Xiu said, since they were out of the customs, they haven't eaten a few meals of meat, and now it's good to be able to drink a few mouthfuls of broth.

Shangguan Xiu specially confessed that all the dead poultry would be returned to the villagers, and only the living ones would be kept, and they would be slaughtered after half an hour.

In Ningnan, Shangguan Xiu had to be cautious and suspicious, these villagers seemed to be scared by their own side to obey, but who dared to guarantee that they would not poison poultry?

In the tent of the Chinese army, Shangguan Xiu and the generals of the army are all there. Zhao Chen took out a map of Nanding County drawn by the secret flag personnel, and said: "Brother Xiu, after passing through Nanbang Mountain, two hundred miles further north, is the county seat of Dingzhou, it is reported that there are only more than 1,000 defenders in Dingzhou City, Brother Xiu, can we consider taking Dingzhou?"

Dingzhou, which has only more than 1,000 defenders, is indeed quite tempting! Shangguan Xiu asked: "Dingzhou is a county seat, why are there so few defenders?"

Zhao Chen Zhengse said: "All run away! The dignitaries and dignitaries in the city, as well as those rich people, were all scared away by our army. ”

"Therefore, Dingzhou is now like an empty city, and we can't get any benefits from Dingzhou. ”

"That'...... Brother Xiu means ......"

"Fang?"

"The last general!" Guangfang stepped forward and intervened to give a salute.

Looking at Guangfang, who was full of vigor and vigor, feeling that he was becoming more and more like a general, Shangguan Xiu was very relieved, and said with a smile: "You lead the gendarmerie to take Dingzhou, and I lead the cavalry to pursue the fleeing dignitaries." ”

"The last general obeys!"

Zhao Chen cleared his throat and said, "Brother Xiu, there is one more thing. ”

Say. ”

"I just received news from Shangjing that the imperial court appointed a new county guard and a new county lieutenant in Zhen County, and sent the Ninth Army Corps to Zhen County, saying that they were on standby in Zhen County and would receive our army at any time. When Zhao Chen spoke, he looked at Shangguan Xiu cautiously.

"Draw salary from the bottom of the kettle?!" Shangguan Xiu blinked, laughed, and muttered, "I really underestimated our Empress and the ministers of the court!"

Guangfang is not stupid, he pondered it carefully and reacted. He was so angry that he slapped the table and shouted in a deep voice: "How can this be true! We are fighting in front and fighting desperately with the enemy, but His Majesty and the imperial court are good, and they actually take advantage of our army to come to our nest!"

Shangguan Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said slowly: "Zhenjun has long been monolithic, whether we are here or not, whether the county guard and county lieutenant are replaced or not, it can't change anything." ”

Shangguan Xiu is still very confident in this, which is the meaning of the existence of Shura Hall.

The officials in all parts of Zhenjun, from the top to the top, are basically from Shuratang, and only when Shuratang is in charge of Zhenjun, can these civilians continue to stay in the government as officials.

If the imperial court can replace the county guards and county lieutenants, can it also remove the officials of all counties and cities as well?

This is just like Tang Ling wanted to remove and replace the commanders of the various legions of the Zhenjun Army before, the reason is the same, it is useless, as long as the Shura Hall is still there, the Zhen County and the Zhenjun Army will only be in the hands of the Shura Hall.

However, this time Shangguan Xiu looked at things simply, the replacement of the county guard and the county lieutenant may not have much impact on Zhenjun, but the stationing of the Ninth Army Corps will have too much influence in the future.

They were talking in the tent of the Chinese army, and a battalion lieutenant of the gendarmerie was wandering back and forth at the door of the tent, Zi Yin's eyes were sharp, and he was the first to see it, and he gently pushed the pawn beside him, and then looked outside.

He glanced out, walked out quietly, and asked, "What's going on?"

"My lord, just now a few brothers from the cavalry battalion sneaked into the village and insulted a girl, and we caught them right, how should we deal with this matter?" the battalion lieutenant asked in a low voice.

The cavalry battalion is different from ordinary soldiers, it is directly led by Shangguan Xiu, and the people in the cavalry battalion violate military discipline, and they really dare not punish them easily. He pondered for a moment and said, "You wait here, I'll inform the adults." ”

"Yes!"

He walked back to the Zhongjun tent from outside, came to Shangguan Xiu's side, and told him what was going on in his ear. Shangguan Xiu frowned secretly after hearing this, and said in a deep voice: "There is nothing special about the cavalry battalion, how it should be punished, no need to worry." ”

"Yes! He said yes, walked out of the tent quickly, and conveyed Shangguan Xiu's order. However, it is now a wartime period, and the punishment is not easy to be too severe, and the main thing is not to hurt the body.

Shangguan Xiu's first department was stationed in Bangcun for only one night, and the next day, the soldiers set off from the village and continued to march north.

From beginning to end, the conflict between the Zhenjun army and the villagers, that is, Shangguan Xiu slashed a person, and later, the cavalry battalion infiltrated the village and tried to rape a village girl, but was also stopped by the gendarmerie and punished.

It can be said that until the current stage, the Zhenjun Army has always been an army with strict military discipline and strong self-discipline, which can be called a civilized army, and can also be friendly with the people of Ningnan, which is very different from the evolution in the later period.

After successfully passing through the Nanbang Mountain, Shangguanxiu led a battalion of 3,000 cavalry to drive straight in, all the way north, bypassing Dingzhou, and directly taking the defense city in the north of Dingzhou.

At present, the dignitaries and dignitaries who fled from Dingzhou are all in Fangcheng. These people, with a big family and a lot of assets, when they fled, they brought their families and a lot of belongings, and the speed was not fast, and the Zhenjun army was far away from Dingzhou, so they were not in a hurry to hurry, where did they think that the cavalry had been falling from the sky.

The cavalry couldn't attack the city, and they couldn't break through the closed city gates, but the city defense couldn't stop Shangguan Xiu and the shadow banner personnel around him.

There were about 3,000 defenders of the fortified city, but they were all local armies, and they did not have as advanced firearms as guns and artillery. Relying only on the dissatisfaction of the local army's bottle, how could it stop Shangguan Xiu and the others from wandering around with half a bottle.

Shangguan Xiu didn't waste much strength, and he didn't even shoot the war horse in his crotch, so he rushed directly to the city of Fangcheng.

When he looked upwards and saw rolling logs and stones and oil falling on the top of the city, he threw off his horse and walked out diagonally. A man in the air, with one foot on the city wall, and his body scurrying upward, and with only one jump, the man went up to the head of the city.

The defenders on the city wall were horrified when they saw this, and people besieged them one after another, Shangguan Xiu waved the spirit knife to the left and right, and cast two spiritual winds in a row, and the Ningnan soldiers who rushed forward at both ends of the city wall were blown by the wind blade. At this time, Duan Qiyue, Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei and others also went up to the city one after another and stood with the Ningnan army.

The local army was far less well-trained than the central army, its morale was not high, and its fighting spirit was not high. Shangguan Xiu and the others quickly entered the city gate tower, moved the noose, and lifted the inner city gate first.

Then, a few shadow banner personnel were left to guard the city gate tower, and Shangguan Xiu led the others to jump the city wall and attack the enemy army in the city gate cave. He rushed to the cave of the city gate and cast a spirit chaos pole.

In such a small space in the city gate cave, more than 100 Ningnan soldiers were squeezed in at this time, and people didn't even have room to dodge in the chaos of the attack.

Wait for all the wind blades to blow, and then look at the city gate hole, all of them are stumps and broken arms, and they are built up a high level. Shangguan Xiu carried the spirit knife, stepped on the mutilated corpse, walked into the city gate cave, and when his mind turned, a strong wind came out and scraped out all the corpses on the ground.

Several Shadow Banner personnel followed, and together they moved the bolt of the gate, slowly pulling the heavy copper gate open.

As soon as the city gate opened, the wind cavalry outside immediately began to charge. In front of the cavalry charge, no matter how many people blocked the city gates, they were all trampled by the cavalry.

The defense line of the city was torn apart, and the soldiers defending the city fled to the city one after another, and those who could escape and enter the alleys were lucky, and how could the Ningnan soldiers who fled on the street outrun the cavalry? Once they were caught up by the cavalry, they were either stabbed to death by spears or trampled to death.
