Chapter 194: The Legend of the Gods and Ghosts of the Great Ming
Midnight.
Lingbao County.
The magistrate, who had just been called, trembled and looked at the white light that was approaching outside.
At this time, the ghostly sound of opera was also coming from nowhere.
Of course, he didn't know what was going on.
At this time, it was midnight, although the distance was close, but it was impossible for the Shaanzhou side to rush to the front to send him a letter, it was the archers patrolling on the city wall, and they found a strange white light in the distance, plus these legends of the Tianhe God have long been flooded, so he hurriedly called him up, he was originally dismissed as nonsense, but now his legs are also weak......
He can see it clearly!
In the uncertain white light, there was a vague military general covered in armor and carrying a spear.
Standing on a four-horse chariot.
The ghostly opera sound came from him, combined with the legend of the river god that had been circulated in Shaanzhou before, he didn't understand that this was the river god who had arrived.
But......
What is the river god doing here?
"A certain is the Great Song Dynasty Right Wu Doctor, Ningzhou Observation Envoy, Tong, Yu Erzhou Placement Envoy Li Yanxian, today is the forerunner of the Great Song Emperor, to restore the Great Song Sheji, and open the city gate as soon as possible, otherwise a certain will be punished by heavenly fire."
A voice came from the white light that had reached the city gate.
The walls looked at each other.
"County Zun, hurry up and open the door!"
A small official said cautiously.
Others chimed in, and it's hard to say how much of it was paid.
Anyway, Yang Feng has already spent 100,000 yuan for this river god drama, but he doesn't need to pay it, the price is negotiated between the imperial grandson and his aunt, and with his aunt's style, it is estimated that he will earn five to ten times.
"But, but he wants to restore the Great Song Sheji, and we are the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, if the city gate is opened, won't it become a surrender?"
The magistrate said tangledly.
"County Zun, this is the river god, how can the order of the river god be violated, if you disobey the river god, he will descend from the sky, and the people of this city will inevitably be a catastrophe, not to mention that although he calls himself the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are not enemy countries. If you count it, Your Majesty's throne is still from the Great Song Dynasty, even Your Majesty was a vassal to Han Lin'er, with the name of the dragon and phoenix, and the sun and the moon reopened the Great Song Dynasty, but Your Majesty said. In this way, even if he claims to be the Song Dynasty, he is just a loyal minister who does not eat Zhou Su, like Boyi Shuqi, as for the Fuda Song Sheji, this is nothing more than his loyalty.
Not really.
Everyone knows that His Majesty was ordered by heaven, and the Great Song Dynasty has long been gone. ”
An old man who had just arrived said.
This must be the one who collects money, but what he said is also very reasonable, after all, these Zhu Yuanzhang have indeed done it, and he also said that the sun and the moon reopened the Great Song Dynasty, and he has indeed been named the dragon and phoenix for a long time.
"Yes, yes, exactly."
The clerk chimed in.
In fact, everyone understands that opening the city gate is indeed suspected of surrender, but the problem is ......
At this moment, the fire on the castle tower behind them suddenly lit up, and then turned into raging flames, and there was a cry of horror on the city wall, and the old man knelt down without hesitation.
"County honor, please ask the county lord to save the people of this city!"
He cried out in mourning.
Then all the people on the city wall instantly knelt down, lying there one by one, begging for the magistrate.
"You won't open the door yet!"
Angry shouts came from the white light outside.
Almost at the same time, there was a strange sound, and then the corner of the city tower exploded, and the fragments of the city tower that were already burning turned into a rain of fire and fell, and now the city wall was even more panicked, and even people were already fleeing in panic. Although if there was a real war, they should still be able to hold on, but now this is the river god, all of them are supernatural powers, how dare they resist, of course, they will run away immediately.
And the elder and the others are still crying and begging for Zhixian.
The latter finally waved his hand helplessly......
"Open the door!"
He said.
Whatever the consequences!
Anyway, in the current situation, whether it is the river god outside or the people in the city, it is impossible to give him any other choice, first take care of the level in front of him, and then say that this is the river god and not a mortal, if it is an enemy, it does need to be defended, but the problem is that this is not a person.
This is the river god.
As a magistrate, he does have the task of defending against the enemy, but does it include defending against ghosts and gods?
"The river god is angry, the river god is angry, the little ones are going to open the door!"
The old man hurriedly shouted.
Then the little archers ran down in confusion, and hurriedly opened the city gates, and then the river god outside entered proudly, and the white light on his body was even more intense, constantly emitting blinding flashes. At least for a short period of time, such a divine power is really awe-inspiring, so everyone, including the magistrate, was so frightened that they knelt on both sides, and one by one they touched their heads to the ground in fear, not daring to raise their heads to offend this terrible river god.
The place where he passed was bright, like a walking sun.
And the people in the city also poured out at this time, kneeling on the ground in the same posture, and some people moved out incense and burned incense, and even the gods were placed, and at this moment in their eyes this is the real god.
And the chariot of the river god drove slowly among them.
Accompanying his progress, the fairy music in Lingwu City fluttered.
……
And at this time.
Not far from Hangu Pass.
Of course, to be precise, Hangu Weiguan.
There are three Hangu Passes, it is Qin Pass that rides a green ox through Hangu, and Xin'an County is Han Pass, but the north of Qin Pass is close to the Yellow River and Wei Pass, because of the military value, it has been completely replaced by Tongguan, so Qin Pass has long been left with only relics.
However, because Wei Pass was dug by Cao Wei specifically for transporting grain and grass, it replaced the natural pass through which Qin Pass passed, and it was the main road for east-west traffic for more than a thousand years, but in fact, there was no pass, it was a pass on the post road. And Lingbao County is actually facing the pass, and it can even be said that this county seat was built for this, so it faces it across the river.
To the north of the county is the crossing of the Yellow River.
It's just that in modern times, it is the Yellow River beach area after the reservoir was raised.
"What's going on?"
Chen Baihu, who was lying on the hillside, looked at the fire in Lingbao County in confusion.
In the ravines beside him, a hundred soldiers hid, and in the hands of these soldiers were arquebuses......
They are the second group of ambush soldiers.
Because in terms of identity, after all, it is necessary to pretend to be a bandit, so it is impossible to set up an ambush in the county seat, and it is here that is suitable for ambush, which was originally dug up on the mountain beam during the Cao Wei period, and it can be said that muskets were set up on both sides to completely block the passage. As long as Yang Feng is here, then a hundred arquebus salvos will beat him into a sieve, not enough for thirty grenades and fifty thunderbolts used by the Ming army.
It's a large ceramic grenade.
Defend the city.
Although it is impossible to throw it with one hand because of the weight problem, the power is indeed enough, one is that the charge is large, and the other is that the gunpowder process of the Ming army was improved by Yang Feng at this time, so the power is also greater than in the past.
The lethality can be said to be comparable to that of a grenade.
Of course, it is the problem of the fuse, and there is no guarantee that Yang Feng will not dodge it easily.
After all, it's still fuse ignition.
But that's not a problem.
As long as there are enough of them.
They had been waiting here for more than ten days, but after Yang Feng arrived in Luoyang, he immediately lost his trace, and the only thing that was certain was that he must have been on the way west, because someone had seen him in Hanhan Valley Pass.
However, there has been no news from the first group of ambush soldiers in Kunshan.
There are no successful ambushes, and there are no failures.
Most likely, he hasn't crossed the mountain yet.
"Fire?"
One of his subordinates said suspiciously.
They watched together.
And then......
"What's that?"
The subordinate pointed to a little white light and said.
No one answered him, after all, none of them had seen this thing, and at present, although the flashlight was given as a gift by Yang Feng, what could be received had to be his real relationship.
There aren't many people in Daming who have this thing.
What's more, he can't charge it, unless it's a little princess around him, there are few ordinary officers and soldiers who have seen it, Li Jinglong and Yang Feng have almost no contact, and his subordinates have never seen it, they just watched the white light out of the Lingbao, and then stepped on the Jianhe Bridge. At this time, it was already vaguely seen that this was a strange luminous body, which was very superstitious these years, and the soldiers who had been in ambush here for many days were all a little chilly in their backs, and when it crossed the Jianhe Bridge, even the ghostly opera sound came.
"Ghosts, ghosts?"
His lips trembled visibly.
Chen Baihu was also a little creepy.
But fortunately, they are all battle-hardened, and they are not frightened by this, I am afraid that it is certain, this kind of wilderness suddenly appeared this thing, plus the music that was specially customized from Sister Liu and played from a classic ghost film, even modern people have to be creepy at first encounter.
"What are you afraid of, if there are really ghosts, then you are also afraid of the wicked.
None of us have ever killed anyone!
Prepare to fight, even if it's a ghost, let's eat our platoon first!
Don't use thunder and that grenade. ”
He said.
That was against Yang Feng.
His duty is not to eliminate demons and collect ghosts, this is just an accident, and this cannot affect his real mission.
The soldiers who were in ambush immediately lit the arquebuses of the magic guns in their hands, and then began to wait for the ghost to enter the pass, and soon they could see that in the white light was a man wearing armor, and the ghostly opera was also very clear.
In the empty wilderness, an ancient chariot, an armored, glowing general, driving an ancient chariot, alone forward......
The soldiers' hearts were racing.
And then......
"Boom!"
Suddenly there was a loud bang behind them.
Everyone shuddered.
"A certain is the Great Song Dynasty Right Wu Doctor, Ningzhou Observation Envoy, Tong, Yu Erzhou Placement Envoy Li Yanxian, today is the forerunner of the Great Song Emperor, revert to my Great Song Sheji, how dare you fight against a certain one. Although you are the ministers of the Zhu family, you have the merit of expelling the Tartars, and although you are the ministers of the Zhao family, you also died for the resistance to Jin, so you have no intention of killing you, and the head of the general can be surnamed Chen?
Since he is a general, why is he hiding and coming out to fight with a certain battle.
I don't use spells, I only compete with your martial arts! ”
Then a voice came.
"It's the river god, it's the river god, when I went to inquire about the news the day before yesterday, I heard that Li Yanxian, the general who died in the Song Dynasty, was the river god, and recently began to appear because of Yang Feng's arrival.
That Yang Feng is the reincarnation of King Ming.
Han Lin'er said that the ancestor was Song Huizong. ”
An officer said in shock.
"Qianhu, it seems to be true, otherwise how do you know that we are here, even if there are indeed local people who know and inform people, but how can you know the surname of Qianhu?"
Another officer said.
The next moment, a clump of withered grass not far from them suddenly burst into flames, and then it burned, and the fire spread rapidly, illuminating the entire hillside at once, and it was still spreading. Of course, they certainly wouldn't hide in a place with dry grass, but the burning fire and smoke made the atmosphere of the entire Hangu Pass suddenly solemn.
"Ma, I'll try it, what the hell is this, brothers, don't move.
We are killing Yang Feng.
As long as he doesn't do anything to us, let's not provoke him,"
Chen Baihu, who has risen to a thousand households, said.
"Qianhu, this is the river god."
The officer reminded him.
"Regardless of whether he is the god of the river and the mountain, since he ordered me, then we can't let him laugh, not to mention that since he is going to restore the Song Dynasty, we are the official army of the Ming Dynasty, can we sit back and watch him pass?"
】
Chen Qianhu said.
Then he stood up.
"A certain Chen Xin.
Your Excellency was born to be loyal and righteous, and died as a river god, and you should have greeted each other with a courtesy, and prepared incense and candles to sacrifice, but your Excellency wanted to be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and a certain Ming minister, so you had to fight with you.
If you die at your hands, you will have no complaints! ”
He arched his hand.
Immediately after that, he picked up a two-handed long knife, shouted and rushed straight down, Li Yanxian jumped out of the chariot, the white light in front of him quickly disappeared, and soon disappeared, only the one behind him, and under the light of the fire, it could be seen that he was wearing gold armor, but his face could not be seen clearly, and the golden helmet was just a mottled color. He lowered the spear in his hand, and then stood with his hands in his hands and looked at Chen Qianhu, the latter who was charging at full speed came to him in a blink of an eye, and the long knife in his hand slashed downward in the air, instantly drawing a touch of fiery red.
But Li Yanxian dodged it strangely, and then grabbed his back and lifted him up.
Chen Qianhu grabbed the bladeless part of the blade, then turned the long knife and stabbed it very crisply.
Li Yanxian let go.
Chen Qianhu fell to the ground and turned over, the long knife in his hand swept, jumped up at the same time as Li Yanxian dodged, and then slammed down diagonally again.
But Li Yanxian ...... at a ghostly speed
Well, he's a ghost.
In short, he came to Chen Qianhu's back again, Chen Qianhu hurriedly turned around, but he couldn't keep up with his speed, he was like a maggot with a bone, always behind Chen Qianhu.
Chen Qianhu showed a hint of determination.
The next moment the long knife turned around, and without hesitation, it stabbed into his abdomen, and the long knife that pierced through his body finally stabbed a hard thing, but it could no longer move forward......
"I have some skills!"
Li Yanxian said.
Then he remounted his chariot and drew his spear.
But Chen Qianhu stood there motionless, with the long knife pierced through his abdomen, looking very miserable.
"Let's spare you."
Li Yanxian glanced at the soldiers who got up and said.
Then his carriage began to move forward.
The two nearest soldiers ran to Chen Qianhu's side as fast as they could, and then supported him, and they couldn't draw their swords at this time.
"Let him go!"
Chen Qianhu said in a low voice.
The soldiers behind silently watched Li Yanxian's carriage drive into the pass......
