Chapter 740: Windfall (Part I)
Outside Qufu County, in the western suburbs, a 2,000-strong ghost army has been waiting here for a long time.
They arrived in the morning and connected with the Kong family in the city, but they waited until the sun set at this time, but they still couldn't wait for the Kong family to send someone out.
If he had followed Wan Yan Jia's consistent style of acting, he would have led his army directly into this small county town and taught the Kong family such a powerful lesson.
However, because he did not break the patriarch's advice before coming here, he could only keep holding back his dissatisfaction and honestly waiting outside the city, waiting for the Kong family to come out to greet him.
Because as far as the patriarch said, these Confucian families value the so-called etiquette the most, and now is the time to use the Confucian family, and they must be given enough face in this regard.
So they waited for most of the day, even if they all saw the chaos in the city, and the smoke billowing from the fire, this ghost team did not take the initiative to enter the city, but continued to wait patiently.
"Now it seems that this should be a mess in their city, and the people of the Kong family must settle things before they can come out to welcome us in." Wan Yan Jia said a conjecture self-righteously.
The other subordinates also nodded yes, and they were not too relieved about the chaos in the city.
To be honest, a small county town of Qufu is really not valued by them, if it weren't for the world-famous Confucian family here, only a few hundred people would be able to occupy this place. There was no strategic use in defending the small city, so as long as they reached an agreement with the Kong family, they could turn to Jeju.
I heard that there was a fierce attack and defense going on there, and not only the Yelu Division, which was set there, was continuing to raise troops and horses, but they were also mobilizing troops and preparing to jointly attack the city at any time. As for the many grains and siege weapons looted from Ludi, they have been transported to Jeju City one after another.
As long as these supplies are delivered in place, it is only a matter of time before they can take a Jeju city with the strong combat power of their three parts of Saibei.
Thinking of the upcoming war and merits, Wan Yan Jia was even more disdainful of the small county town in front of him. After looking at the sun above that was about to sink in the west, he finally spoke impatiently: "Don't wait, you two, go into the city and tell the Kong family that we have given them enough face, if we don't send someone out before dark, then we will kill them!" ”
The two subordinates who were ordered hurriedly agreed, and then walked to their respective mounts, lazily stepping on their horses.
The two thousand Guirong soldiers stayed outside the city, and it was impossible for them to encounter any battles, so naturally they would not always prepare for war as if they were facing a great enemy, and even most of them untied their armor or put it aside, just to be cool in this scorching summer.
At this time, the clothes and armor of the two people who were going to enter the city were crooked, and they could only tidy up while riding forward.
And at this moment, there was a sudden sound of fierce horses' hooves at the west gate of Qufu, which was quiet, and the movement was quite small, and it was a team of hundreds of people rushing up.
This made Wan Yanjia obviously a little surprised and vigilant, and immediately bounced up from the ground, reaching out to hold his saber. The two subordinates who had already arrived in front of the city gate immediately drew their swords, and they were ready to fight.
As a result, no sooner had they made their movements than they saw a group of cavalrymen dressed like their own rushing straight ahead. These people, on the horses under their crotches, are still stained with a lot of blood......
This scene is too familiar to the ghosts who invaded Ludi, after they broke the city and invaded, they killed and looted, and took a large amount of property for themselves.
It can be said that these cavalrymen who are constantly running, no matter how you look at it, are all with them, so naturally the hands of the two Ghost Rong soldiers who are ready for battle are loose.
In fact, it was not only the two of them, but the two thousand ghost warriors behind them, including Wan Yan Jia, were also relaxed at this time, but there were still a lot of doubts in their hearts.
This made Wan Yanjia couldn't help but take two steps forward and shouted, "Which department are you from?" Did you rob and kill people in Qufu just now? I don't know if this is the goal of our Wanyan Department, do we need to take in the Kong family? ”
A series of questions were thrown by him like arrows, just waiting for the other party to give an answer.
But Wan Yanjia didn't know that his question fell into the ears of everyone who was rushing at full speed, but it was just a grunt, and they didn't understand a word.
After Sun Ning finished the massacre of the Kong family, he immediately gathered all the horses and led them straight to the West Gate.
When he first learned that there were still ghosts outside the city, he was really surprised, and he was even worried that there would be changes.
As a result, he made such a disturbance in the Kong family, but the other party was still waiting quietly, which made Sun Ning feel relieved, and even felt that this would be an opportunity.
So, he simply attacked boldly and decided to kill the enemy outside the city by surprise.
At this time, the subordinates who were able to kill and made enough money did not hesitate for a moment, and with respect for him, they did not hesitate to follow him.
Even if they saw that the black pressure outside the city was overwhelming a group of ghost Rong people, the number was several times that of their own, they did not have the slightest fear, and with Sun Ning's low order, they secretly drew their swords and spears, raised their bows and arrows, and prepared to attack.
After seeing the enemy and discovering himself, he was still relaxed, many people didn't even approach their horses, and their weapons didn't touch, and Sun Ning was even more overjoyed.
Naturally, he would not make a sound at this time, so that the enemy would notice something was wrong, so even if the other party shouted loudly, he could only not hear it, and he vigorously hit the horse forward.
In the blink of an eye, they were at the west gate, and they were only two miles away from the enemy.
It was only at this time that Sun Ning stopped pretending, suddenly drew a knife in his hand, and shouted: "Kill!" ”
As the words came out, he slammed his legs around the warhorse, controlling it to sprint, and the knife was slashed out at the same time, hitting the neck of a ghost warrior in front of him who wanted to say something, and chopping off his entire head.
However, Sun Ning's momentum of rushing forward did not slow down a little, and the men and horses were united, like arrows off the string, rushing straight into the enemy formation, and staring at the guy who was still questioning loudly just now, the guy who should be the leader in terms of dress and bearing.
In just a few breaths, the two of them were close at hand.
It was only at this time that Wan Yanjia suddenly realized that this guy was friend or foe, and hurriedly drew his knife to deal with it.
However, it was already too late.
He had just grasped the handle of the knife with his hand, and the bright steel knife had already roared, although he tried his best to dodge sideways, but Sun Ning's knife change move was faster, and he only slashed horizontally, and hit him in the shoulder.
With a snort, the knife carrying the momentum of the fast horse was like cutting tofu, slashing in from the front of the side, and then piercing out from the rear.
With Wan Yan Jia's terrible and unwilling scream, his whole person was cut into two pieces, and he died tragically in front of the two thousand subordinate soldiers who had not yet reacted.
