Chapter 257: Assassin's Suspicion (7)
Today, as usual, he came to the Ximen Bazaar, which was named after his surname by the common people in order to thank him, so that he had a little pride, and when he came, a small official came to him mysteriously and said to him: "Ximen official, I heard that there was an assassin last night." ”
Ximen Zhu was not very interested: "What kind of assassin, don't you compile the names of the people, their hometowns, family populations, and whether they have specialties or not." ”
Seeing that he was not interested, and was a little bored, the little official went to the place with the most people to start working, and brought the morning market to gather more than 1,900 people, and some of these people were young and middle-aged, and Ximen Zhu knew at a glance that they were soldiers before, or the kind of soldiers who had seen blood.
He compared with the little officer, the little official understood, trotted to a nearby city defense army outpost, and reported to the post Xiaoqi, there are many young adults today, like soldiers, please Xiaoqi lead the troops over, send them to gather outside the city, and then go to Fenzhou for reorganization.
Xiaoqi repeats these things every day, this time he took ten soldiers, came to the Ximen Bazaar, Ximen Zhu has selected the young and middle-aged among them, and asked them if they would like to go to Fenzhou, some of the young adults said they were unwilling to leave their families, for these young adults with families, he did not force these people with families.
Instead, they were sent to Xugou City to open up wasteland, some young people who had no family to worry about, were willing to go to Fenzhou, there were more than 200 of these people, and from the outside, they knew that most of them were Lian Jiazi.
Fang Xiaoyan happened to take Jin Tianer to the Ximen Bazaar, Xiaoqi came to the young man before he arrived, and said very vividly: "From now on, follow me to assemble outside the city, after lunch, go to Fenzhou Mansion in the afternoon, as long as you go to Fenzhou to enlist in the army, you will have one tael of silver, one stone of brown rice, and three coins of salt and oil every month." ”
A middle-aged man with a full beard walked out of the crowd and said to Xiaoqi: "We are here to defect to Your Majesty, you let us go to Fenzhou, doesn't this keep us away from Your Majesty?" ”
Ximen Zhu heard the voice, and deliberately looked here, the middle-aged man looked like a thorn in the head, he was either a soldier or a general before, the middle-aged man shouted loudly, they want to see Your Majesty, only when they see Your Majesty, they are willing to go to Fenzhou Mansion, otherwise they will go to other places.
Xiaoqi pulled out his waist knife and said to the middle-aged man: "Grandson, here you are a tiger lying down, a dragon..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Qi covered his neck, he couldn't believe it Looking at the big knife in the hand of the middle-aged man, the knife was the blood on his neck, he fell straight down, and the other soldiers saw this, and hurriedly pulled out their weapons and rushed up, but more than 100 young adults were killed by the crowd.
These young men were all armed with big knives, and they killed people when they saw them, and the ten soldiers were quickly hacked to death by them, and after hacking Xiao Qi and the soldiers to death, the middle-aged man took the young men to kill the crowd.
Dozens of people were hacked to death in one go, the crowd was frightened, Ximen Zhu was forced to run with the crowd, the middle-aged man led his subordinates to continue to slash, the order in the city was chaotic, and the middle-aged man was not stupid people, but took his subordinates to the palace to kill.
Fang Xiaoyan and hundreds of troops came down to the Ximen Bazaar, and seeing the chaos here, Ximen Zhu saw Fang Xiaoyan, panting and running over to him and said, "Mr. Fang Qian, didn't the Iron Fist Legion go to Lu'an Prefecture?" ”
"The old steamed bun and the governor are gone, I'm recuperating in the city, what's going on in front of me?"
Ximen Zhu actually didn't see the killing, but he heard that someone in the Ximen Bazaar was making trouble and was slashing and killing the people.
At this time, there were not many soldiers and horses in the city, Leng Rutie led the Central Army to Lu'an Prefecture, Dong Daqi led 5,000 reserve troops to be stationed outside the city, and the Iron Fist Army did not wait for Ling Jingyang's order and was not allowed to attack, only the 400 city defense troops led by Wang Bao were still scattered in the city.
The middle-aged man killed the palace and yelled: "Kill the dog emperor." ”
More young and middle-aged people rushed out of the city, and there were more than 400 people, each of whom looked at the palace with bitter hatred, as if it was their mortal enemy, and they had to be cut into meat sauce to vent their hatred.
The garrison of the palace was strengthened a month ago, In the face of the enemy's siege, relying on the defensive advantage and not falling behind, the middle-aged man and his subordinates were not afraid of death, even if they were all killed, they had to break through the palace and kill Zhu Youzhen.
The killing in the city was in full swing, and Ling Jingyang was in the hall and lectured to the pro-soldier team, this hundred pro-soldiers were selected by Yue Ling from the military camp early in the morning, and most of them were high-level martial arts soldiers.
There are also some low-ranking officers, who gave up their positions in the Iron Fist Legion and became Ling Jingyang's personal soldiers.
Suddenly, a soldier rushed in from outside the door, and reported to him that there were thugs besieging the palace, and when Ting Jingyang heard this, he almost blew up his lungs, why did the assassin just be eliminated, and there were thugs?
He Yue Ling and a hundred pro-soldiers said: "Today is the first battle of the pro-soldier team, how about letting the governor of Pontus see your condition?" ”
Yue Ling and his subordinates straightened their chests, Ling Jingyang waved his big hand, and his own soldiers went with him to suppress the mob, Zhu Youzhen looked at him, Ling Jingyang nodded, Zhu Youzhen also carried a big knife, and Ling Jingyang went to suppress the rioters.
Before Ling Jingyang went out, he deliberately stuffed the katana used by Kaneda Er to Yue Ling, he knew that Yue Ling loved this kind of long knife, Yue Ling was very excited to hold the katana in his hand, and led everyone to run towards the palace.
......
The palace was bloody, and the middle-aged man led his subordinates to break through the Sanjin courtyard in one go, leaving only the last courtyard not breached, that is, Zhu Youzhen's dormitory was still holding on, Wang Chengen and Zhu San, who pretended to be Zhu Youzhen, were lying under the bed, not that the two were afraid of death, but that arrows kept flying in from the window, and the two were lying under the bed, and the bed board could block the arrows from shooting.
The middle-aged man was stupid outside the door, and shouted: "Dog Emperor, Lao Tzu is doing the right thing for heaven today and avenging the people of the world." ”
He killed more than a dozen Iron Fist Legion soldiers in one go, and when he hit here, his subordinates were almost killed and wounded, leaving only more than 20 people to rush to the dormitory with him, and there were more than 100 Iron Fist soldiers in front of the dormitory, they were the elite of the whole army, and they were killed by a group of thugs More than 100 soldiers, but they also killed the thugs to this point, and the middle-aged man knew that he could not break through the dormitory, so he had to continue to fight.
Before launching the attack, Fang Xiaoyan and Wang Bao finally arrived, and the two of them took more than 400 soldiers to surround the middle-aged man and his subordinates with bows and arrows.
The middle-aged man saw that he didn't have the ability to continue to break through the dormitory, "Haha, the sky will not die." ”
After speaking, he rushed forward with a roar, and Ling Jingyang also arrived, letting Yue Ling and the middle-aged man shout: "Strong man, foreign enemies are invading, and you still want to be in the nest here, do you want the Jiannu horseshoe to continue to wreak havoc in the Central Plains?" ”
"Dog officials, it's all this dog emperor who is incompetent, levies three salaries, starves everywhere in the land of China, Jiannu has entered the customs several times, and robbed my people to go outside the customs under the noses of the officials and soldiers, all of them are unknown to this dog emperor, you dog officials, you have to support him to restore the throne, my king is not convinced, and today he will kill the thieves for the common people in the world."
When Ling Jingyang heard the middle-aged sentence that the sky is immortal, he felt that this person might not be an assassin, but like a chivalrous man who hated the Ming Dynasty to the bone, he and Yue Ling said softly: "Go find some shields, press these to the corners, and then tie them all up." ”
Yue Ling got the order, and took half of the soldiers to the vicinity to summon the shield and plank, and when Yue Ling went to find the shield, Ling Jingyang beckoned Wang Bao to come over, because it was inconvenient for him to come forward, so Wang Bao and Wang Tiedao shouted loudly to buy time for Yue Ling.
Wang Bao comprehended, and shouted with Wang Tiedao: "Wang Tiedao, with this blood, why don't you kill Jiannu, you kill every soldier of the Ming army here, you are making a wedding dress for the Qing army." ”
Wang Tiedao obviously didn't think of this, he was a little stunned, and said to Wang Bao: "Dog official, don't talk wildly there, do you dare to fight me to the death?" ”
Ling Jingyang asked Wang Bao to agree to his request, and at this time, there were many people nearby watching, and Jin Tianer saw a familiar shadow in the crowd, it was the vice president of the Shanxi Black Dragon Society, and he took three warriors to watch all this coldly in the crowd.
Jin Tianer quietly pulled Fang Xiaoyan, and glanced his eyes in the direction of the vice president, Fang Xiaoyan understood, quietly led dozens of soldiers from the crowd, and walked in the direction of the vice president under the leadership of Jin Tianer.
"Walking on the Stars"
It wasn't until the vice president was faintly surrounded that he stopped to look at this group of Fusang people, and at this time, Wang Tiedao and Wang Bao had come to the center of the courtyard of the four entrances, ready for the final battle.
Wang Bao didn't kill the enemy for some days, he carried a long knife, walked forward slowly, Ling Jingyang looked at Wang Bao from behind, Wang Bao's strength hated the average, it was certain that he couldn't beat this middle-aged strong man, he immediately made a gesture to rush forward with Yue Ling, who had already arrived.
Yue Ling and a hundred pro-soldiers, holding his breath and wanting to perform, he led the pro-soldiers team to rush forward with a shield, Wang Tiedao saw the formation of the Ming army, and he wanted to live, and
The subordinates shouted not to be a prisoner, fight.
He didn't want to be captured, but Yue Ling didn't agree, and a hundred pro-soldiers went up with their pro-soldiers, rushed forward with their shields, and fiercely oppressed Wang Tiedao and his subordinates.
Wang Tiedao desperately wielded the broadsword, chopped in the wooden shield mountain, only some sawdust was chopped off, still could not stop the advance of the Ming army, he and his subordinates were forced to the corner of the palace, many of the subordinates were squeezed The big knife could not be pulled out, and it was dragged out by the city defense army, and it was tied with a rope like a crab.
After a while, Wang Tiedao was also dragged out, his nose and face were swollen from the beating, and he had twice as much rope on his body as others.
After the battle, the crowd slowly dispersed, Wang Chengen and Zhu San also crawled out from under the bed, Wang Chengen shouted out of the door in a duck-like voice: "Your Majesty is fine, all the troops return to the camp." ”
After hearing Wang Chengen's voice, the vice president of the Black Dragon Society in Shanxi and his subordinates also left in the crowd, their figures were seen by Fang Xiaoyan, Fang Xiaoyan had already let his subordinates climb on the roof nearby and lie down, he and more than 20 soldiers of Jintian and others took off their military uniforms, gave some people nearby a tael of silver, changed into the clothes on the people's bodies, and quietly followed.
These people of the Black Dragon Society obviously have a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance, they stopped and stopped all the way, if it weren't for the iron fist soldiers on the roof lying on the roof, they would not let Fang Xiaoyan be discovered by the Fusang people, and they would not let the Fusang people disappear from sight.
When the Fusang people came to the north of the city, they went straight to the outside of the city, Fang Xiaoyan and his subordinates caught up, but at the gate of the city, he saw Dong Daqi leading five personal soldiers to the city, he ignored Dong Daqi, but he saw Dong Daqi walking towards the east of the city where Bai Lushui lived.
He silently put it in his heart, and led his troops to continue to follow the Black Dragon Society, and at the same time asked his subordinates to report to the Governor of Lingdu, saying that the Black Dragon Society would retreat outside the city, and asked the Governor of Lingdu to increase the manpower and annihilate the Black Dragon Society in one fell swoop.
Ling Jingyang was in the barracks at this time, watching Yue Ling beat Wang Tiedao, Wang Tiedao was beaten and vomited blood, Wang Tiedao vomited blood and Yue Ling scolded: "Dogs, Lao Tzu will not let you go if you are a ghost, and you will be a man in the next life, and I will behead you people." ”
Yue Ling was also a Ming army before, and he was even more angry when he was scolded by Wang Tiedao, and he smashed it down with a fist, and Wang Tiedao almost held his breath, but his life was hard, and he stubbornly obeyed his breath, and Ling Jingyang asked Yue Ling to retreat.
At this time, the soldiers of the Black Dragon Society who were following him arrived, and reported in Ling Jingyang's ear that Fang Qianzong had found the people of the Black Dragon Society, and asked for reinforcements from the Governor, Ling Jingyang immediately ordered the soldiers of the Iron Fist Legion in the military camp to change into civilian clothes and go outside the city to support Fang Xiaoyan.
He came to Wang Tiedao, pulled his hair, and slammed it to the ground.
"How many of our soldiers did you kill today?"
"Lao Tzu killed happily."
"Isn't it happy, Lao Tzu made you happy today."
Ling Jingyang was not lightly angered by Wang Tiedao, and scolded Wang Tiedao for killing today, but they were all veterans who survived the bloody battle with Jiannu, and everyone was a man with backbone, so he died in Yuci City, because of Wang Tiedao, these hot-blooded soldiers never had the opportunity to fight with Jiannu again.
Another hard hit, knocking Wang Tiedao to pieces, he bared his teeth, and Ling Jingyang smiled: "Lao Tzu is sorry for these men, but Lao Tzu still doesn't regret it, only by killing the dog emperor, the Dashun army will have a chance to expel Jiannu." ”
Zhu Youzhen suddenly stood up, looked at Wang Tiedao, and asked him where this fallacy came from?
"Which dog official are you, at first glance, you have fine skin and tender meat, and you will all have to lose your heads when Your Majesty breaks through Yuci City."
Ling Jingyang suddenly felt that this person was incorrigible, and he should have shot him in front of the dormitory a long time ago, Ling Jingyang ordered to kill this person horizontally, and his subordinates also killed him, otherwise he would be sorry for those soldiers who died in battle.
At this time, the old steamed bun suddenly broke in, he came to Wang Tiedao, looked at Wang Tiedao's appearance, and after seeing it, some shouted: "Wang Tiedao, is it really you?" ”
Wang Tiedao's eyes lit up when he saw the old steamed bun, and when he saw that the old steamed bun was wearing the uniform of the Ming army, his eyes became hateful again.
"Old steamed bun, did you also vote for the Dog Emperor?"
The old steamed bun was hurt by his liver, and he slapped him over: "Wang Tiedao, you bastard, do you know who you killed?" ”
