Chapter 47: I don't know if I'm alive or dead
"Whoosh ······" The rain of arrows fell, the bandits let out a scream, and people kept falling.
"Hurry up, hurry away, get out of range of the bow and arrow!" Jiang Gong shouted, turned his horse's head and rushed forward, regardless of whether the front was his own subordinates, the originally crowded city gate was forced by him to ride a war horse and rush away, although he was killed and trampled to death Many people were killed, but it was precisely because of this passage that the bandits were able to turn around and escape.
The bandits left behind more than 100 corpses and finally escaped from the range of their bows and arrows, and screams were heard from inside the city.
More than 100 bandits who rushed into the city have been surrounded, one shield surrounds them in the middle, one by one spears keep piercing out of the gaps in the shields, the stabbed bandits let out a scream and fell to the ground, and the bandits who were not stabbed desperately squeezed back to get out of the range of the spear's assassination.
The bandits' space for movement is compressed smaller and smaller, more and more people are dying, and those who are still alive for the time being are full of despair, but they have to stop and retreat, and if they don't retreat, they will be stabbed to death with spears.
A moment later, all the bandits who were surrounded were annihilated, and the ground in front of the city gate cave was covered with the corpses of the bandits, and blood flowed all over the ground.
"Leave these corpses alone, go to the city wall!" With the order of a tun commander, the soldiers who had surrounded and annihilated the bandits just now quickly ran towards the city wall with their weapons.
It was only when the soldiers reached the city wall that they saw that there were thousands of bandits outside the city, and these bandits turned their heads after they had left the range of their bows and arrows on the walls.
The thief head Jiang Gong beat his horse and walked to a place where he raised his head and shouted: "Listen to the fellow Taoists on the city wall, I am the Wujiling Cottage Jiang Palace, and you and others came from the Lujiang River over the mountains and mountains to enter our territory and rob our city, it is really too deceitful, and I will not be embarrassed by you, let the leader of you come out and answer with me!" ”
"I am the leader, if you have anything to say, don't come quickly, don't be crooked!" A large man in armor shouted on the city wall.
Jiang Gong was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "You've been in this city for a few days, and you've grabbed enough, right?" Why are you still here? Should we also be allowed to go in and have fun? ”
There was a loud laugh from the city wall: "Hahaha······ Ignorant bandits, who regard us as bandits? It's really laughing and killing me! I'm not afraid to tell you, we are the soldiers of the Flame Army, and this city is owned by our Flame Army, so you don't want to retreat quickly! ”
Jiang Gong was very angry by this, it doesn't matter what the hell is the Flame Army, or the Flame Army, anyway, he hasn't heard of it, and roared angrily: "It's really a toast and don't eat and drink, even if you are a dragon crossing the river, we will have to pull off a layer of skin from you, and open the city gate and leave within two hours, otherwise you will not blame me for killing a chicken and dog after breaking the city!" ”
"Yes, my Flame Army is waiting here! If you don't come to attack the city, you are a grandson! ”
"Ahhh Jiang Gong was so angry that he immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare tools for attacking the city.
This is to embarrass these bandits, it is their old profession to rob houses and houses, but they can build siege equipment, they really don't have this ability.
"Go, go around the walls and see if there is any collapse!" The bandit leader Shen Cheng gave an order to his subordinates.
When the defenders on the city wall saw that this group of bandits was not leaving the city, they sent people to circle around the city wall, and immediately sent people to patrol the city wall to prevent these bandits from looking for undefended sections of the city wall to climb.
A small leader of the bandits said to Jiang Gong: "Chief, the walls of this city are high and strong, and the little ones have not attacked the city, and they have no equipment to go up, so why don't you just stop and return to the cottage?" ”
Jiang Gong was furious: "Bastard, more than 100 of my brothers died in the city, if we go back like this, how can we explain to the other brothers?" ”
Shen Cheng came over and asked, "Second brother, the men and horses of the Flame Army are hiding in the city and don't come out, and we are not good at attacking the city, what can I do?" ”
Jiang Gong slowly calmed down, thought for a while and said: "Now the plan can only provoke them, so that they can go out of the city to fight with us, they have few people, we have many people, as long as they go out of the city, we will win!" Third brother, choose some articulate ones from among the brothers to come out and insult me fiercely, the more fierce the scolding, the better! ”
"Yes!"
It didn't take long for a few thieves to come out and keep insulting, scolding whatever was unpleasant, which made the soldiers defending the city very angry, and many people shouted to go out of the city to kill him without leaving a piece of armor.
The soldier with the soldiers has no great ability, and he is not very bold, just thinking that so, he did not dare to lead people to kill, he saw that these thieves were only afraid that they would not give up so easily, and immediately called a soldier: "You rode out of the north gate on a fast horse to Xincai to report this matter to the captain!" ”
"No!"
Xin Cai.
Qin Feng had already ordered Lu Sheng to send someone to keep an eye on Li Tong in Yang'an, if Li Tong's men and horses moved, they would report immediately, everything he was doing now was also to prepare for Li Tong to lead troops to attack.
"Duwei, Yang Changshi is here!" Soldier outside the door reports.
After the words fell, Yang Hong walked in from the outside, and greeted Qin Feng with a smile: "Lord, happy event, Yuan Li has persuaded the various families and landlords in Runan to provide us with money, food and ordnance, and hand over most of the guards and private soldiers for the lord's drive!" ”
When Qin Feng heard this, he immediately got up and asked, "Really?" That's great, but when will the guards be able to gather? ”
"We can rush to Xincai within five days!"
Qin Feng was overjoyed, "Okay, this matter can be done, it all depends on Mr.'s contribution!" I have ordered someone to prepare a house for Mr., as well as two beauties, ten pieces of cloth, and 50,000 dollars, please don't be shabby! ”
Yang Hong smiled and saluted: "Thank you for your kindness, in this way, it will be disrespectful!" ”
At this time, a soldier hurriedly came in to report: "Qi Yu Du Lieutenant, the original Lucheng sent someone over, saying that there is an urgent military situation to report to Du Wei!" ”
The smile on Qin Feng's face disappeared, and he immediately raised his hand: "Quick, let him in!" ”
The messenger was soon brought in, "Captain Qi, the little one has been appointed by the military to ······"
Under the messenger's narration, the expressions on Qin Feng and Yang Hong's faces couldn't help but laugh, they had been guarding against Li Tong these days, but they didn't expect that Li Tong hadn't brought troops to kill him, and in turn, a group of bandits came over first to fight Qiu Feng.
"How many thieves are there?" Qin Feng asked.
The messenger said, "There are about a thousand people!" The thief was quite brave, and more than 100 archers on the city wall could not hurt him in the slightest! ”
"Oh?" Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, thinking that there might not be no strong martial arts among the bandits, he waved his hand: "You go down to rest first!" ”
"No!"
Qin Feng walked back to the main seat and sat down, and asked, "What do you think, sir?" ”
Yang Hong stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "The lord is also famous in Runan, some people don't know whether they are alive or dead, the lord killing a few thieves may also be able to deter other crumbs, this Zhai Palace, Jiang Palace, Shen Cheng and other three people have more than 2,000 people, if they are together, it is a force to be reckoned with, if they can be solved, other bandits and thieves will not dare to easily fight our ideas!" ”
Qin Feng got up and thought about it, and after a while, he made a decision, "Okay, I think that Li Tong shouldn't act rashly before he finds out the truth of our army, as long as he gives me three or five days, he will definitely be able to solve this gang of thieves in Zhai Palace!" ”
"During my absence, please leave the matter of Xin Cai to Mr."
Yang Hong immediately saluted: "Dare not do your best!" ”
That night, Qin Feng took six hundred cavalry out of Xincai from the south gate and went straight to the direction of Yuanlu County.
From Xincai to Yuanlu, there is no city in the middle, and it is straight down along the Rushui.
At that time, Qin Feng led the team after a night of marching and rushing to a stop ten miles north of the original Lucheng.
After arranging the sentry, Qin Feng ordered: "Rest in place!" ”
The soldiers dismounted, fed the horses, and then lay down on the ground.
After sleeping for two hours, Qin Feng woke up and ordered everyone to be woken up to eat and drink Lazar immediately, and feed the horse feed again.
At this time, a sentry rode over on horseback, "Huh-Captain Qiyu, the thief army is insulting and provoking outside the southern gate of the original Lucheng, the army is not in order, the army is scattered, there are more than 1,000 people, there is no banner!" ”
After hearing this, Qin Feng immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare to set off, and after a cup of tea, six hundred cavalry had already mounted their horses and headed towards the original Lucheng under his leadership.
The battle is about to begin, and the marching speed must not be too fast, and the physical strength of the horses and soldiers must be fully guaranteed.
When he arrived at the north gate of the original Lucheng, most of the hours had passed, and Qin Feng didn't see any thieves nearby, so he directly led his troops into the north gate, and went straight to the south gate through the main street in the city.
"The lowly has seen the captain, the captain can be counted, this group of thieves is too rampant, if it weren't for the fact that the lowly troops are too small, one of them will go out and fight!" The soldiers guarding the city saw Qin Feng coming with his troops, and immediately went down to the city wall to greet them.
Qin Feng helped him up, "You did the right thing, how can a person with a great responsibility be rash?" Okay, take me up to the castle tower to have a look! ”
"No! Captain please! ”
When he arrived at the city wall, Qin Feng walked to the side of the wall battlement and almost laughed out loud, this group of crooked melons and cracked dates also wanted to pick up the cheap? When he saw that the more than 1,000 thieves were standing or sitting, they were all sunburned and weak, and only a few of them were still scolding at the top of their voices, so he immediately said: "Order the soldiers below to open the city gate, and wait for me to go out and kill him, and leave no armor behind!" ”
"No!"
When Qin Feng got off the city tower and stepped on the war horse again, the city gate suddenly opened, and a drum sounded on the city tower, he held his weapon and rode his horse forward, and six hundred cavalry followed behind him to kill the general.
Just as they rushed out of the city gate, the horses' hooves flew, kicking up a cloud of dust, the ground shook, and the momentum rose instantly.
"What? The Flame Army has come out, and all the sons and daughters have risen up and gone into the city with me! Jiang Gong roared, beckoning the bandits to rush towards the Flame Army.
The bandits didn't know how to be afraid at all, they lazily followed Jiang Gong and Shen Cheng with their weapons for a while, and they were immediately frightened by the terrifying sense of déjà vu brought by the large number of cavalry charging into battle, and their faces changed drastically, and they lost their weapons and turned around and fled.
