Chapter 243: Snatching the Blade
Screams pierced through the mountains and forests. In the middle of the night, six bloodied people came out of the mountain forest, and they were the vengeful mountain squatters.
The leader is called Shi A, who was originally the son of Mixian Tingpeng. In the past, his father was Tingpeng, and he was the left official of the Mi County Order, although he did not have the weight of the county governor and the county lieutenant, but he was also the supervisor of the five departments of the township, persuading farmers in spring and summer, and collecting the important position of the year in autumn and winter. In the previous court of Shi A's father, this position can collect millions of money just by collecting sacrificial money a year, of which two or three hundred thousand are given to Wei Shui Shui Bo to marry a wife, and the rest is to share the rest with Zhu Wu.
Later, Shi A's father was incorruptible, and the taxes other than the regular tax were not divided into a penny. But he didn't accept it, but he also cut off other people's ways to make money, and he was isolated by his colleagues. Later, Suo Qi, as the new Mixian commander, has been obstructed by Shi A's father, and he regarded him as a thorn in the flesh.
After that, Shia's father disappeared. By the time Shi Ah found his father again, his father had been separated from his flesh and skin, and he was miserable. Only the copper seal hidden under a stone was left to Shia. After that, Shi Ah searched for clues and finally found out that it was Suo Qi who did it.
When Shi A was a child, he met a hermit named Wang Yue in Mishan, who learned swordsmanship and was unique. But no matter how conceited Shi A was, he didn't have the confidence to assassinate Suo Qi in the midst of Hu Shi's heavy fight, so he endured it until now, and finally had a blood feud.
Shi Ah patted the two heads on his waist and said to the five companions:
"The Han family has no virtue, and I intend to defect to the Taishan Army. The general of the Taishan army, the rebel soldiers, and the riots. For the heavens, hang the name and punish the crime. It is my Lord. Will you join me in your quest and make you rich?"
In order to help Shi Ah take revenge, the five of them didn't even pick up the horseshoe gold on the ground just now, how could they not be willing at this moment? Therefore, the six of them worshiped Shi A's father a little, and then took Suo Qi's head to find the Taishan army.
When Shi Ah Liuyi arrived at the city of Mi County, the Taishan army was attacking Guo outside Mi County. And the battalion generals responsible for the attack were the two brothers Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang.
Since these two brothers joined the army in Dongping, they have made many meritorious achievements, and later the army continued to expand, and these two also jumped into 500 battalion generals. This time to attack Mi County, Zhang Chong chose these two generals to attack with 1,000 soldiers.
At this moment, in charge of defense in Mixian County is the county lieutenant Hou Feng. Although Mi County ordered to abandon the city and flee, Mi County was still able to resist under the Taishan army, just because of the existence of Hou Feng.
In the final analysis, Nami County Ling is just a low-level official, and Hou Feng is the real tiger. His person is not just a county lieutenant, he is the old Situ Hou Ba in the Guangwu period.
After serving as a prince, the Hou family of Mi County was highly respected in Mi County, and half of the land in the county belonged to their family. Now Mixian ordered the seal to be hung up, and the suitcase ran away. But his Hou Feng family is here, how can he run? Therefore, Hou Feng did his best to raise 800 soldiers and 500 county soldiers in the city, vowing to live and die with Mi County.
[In view of the general environment, the two battalions of Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang have a total of about 1,000 people, and most of the soldiers in the camp are from Dongping and Yingchuan except for a small number of Taishan people. To tell the truth, the combat effectiveness of the two battalions can only be ranked in the middle of many battalions of the Taishan Army. Now, there are more defenders in the city than them, and they are united in their hearts, and Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang have not been able to reach the top of the city even if they personally led the team to attack the city. ….
Just when the battle was at a stalemate, Shi Ah Liuyi came to Lu Xiang's camp with the head of Mixian Ling Suoqi.
-------------
"This is the head of the Mixian Order?"
Lu Xiang looked at the withered head and asked.
At this time, Shi Ah and the six people went to the machine and were greeted by Lu Xiang into the tent for questioning.
Hearing Lu Xiang ask, Shi Ah bowed his head and said:
"General Hui, it's the head of the dog thief."
Lu Xiang was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked people to find a bamboo pole and send it to the front of the battle to show the recalcitrant Han soldiers on the city tower, so as to kill their majesty.
Shi A gave Lu Xiang such a big gift, Lu Xiang naturally wanted to reward him, he asked:
"Whatever you want, I'll reward you six."
Shi Ah shook his head, he didn't even want gold, would he value other rewards, he raised his head, his eyes blazing:
"General, the six of us want to join the army. Before, the heroes of Mishan beat 'punish the thief, welcome the peace, it is my handiwork.'"
"Punish the thief, welcome the peace?"
Lu Xiang recited this slogan and slapped his thigh:
"This is good, this is good, you are a talent. As long as it is a talent, our Taishan army will not refuse to come. In this way, I will give you a piece of bamboo chips, and I recommend you to go to the old camp to be a scholar. Steady and idle, it's a good errand."
Seeing Shi Ah shaking his head again, Lu Xiang was happy:
"Okay, I'm an ambitious person, and I know that the old camp is a place to kill heroism. So I recommend you to the place where you are dividing the field, where you may do practical work."
Shi Ah shook his head again and said directly to Lu Xiang:
"General, I feel that I have a bit of force, and I want to be your soldier."
Lu Xiang was annoyed, although he admired this kid who avenged his father, but when he heard this, he still scolded:
"Boy, you know that the battlefield is to die, but it's not the same as your vendetta. It's unreasonable there, just a knife and a fire. If you have almost no ability, let alone earn your work, you won't be able to earn your life back. Look at yourself again, white and tender, like a fighter?"
Shi Ah did not defend this, but said quite self-consciously:
"Please give it a try, General."
Lu Xiang stopped talking, and asked one of the soldiers next to him to go up and teach this kid a lesson.
This soldier has a helmet and armor, big shoulders and a round waist, and at first glance he is a warrior in the army. Hu Bing casually threw a handful of wooden mullions to Shi A, Shi A took it, smiled, and motioned for the armor to attack.
The armorer raised the scabbard in his hand, and slashed it with swift lightning, but suddenly his arm hurt, and the boy was already holding the wooden stump and poking it on his arm.
The armor soldier was annoyed, slashed again, and hit another arm. And so three, three crosses three in its arms. At this moment, everyone saw that this man named Shi Ah actually had exquisite swordsmanship, no wonder he wanted to join the army.
Lu Xiang was also unexpected, and his martial arts were naturally wonderful, so he saw the subtlety of this Shi A's swordsmanship more than ordinary people, but now he couldn't get off the stage, so he defended a few words:
"Well, Shi, you are indeed good at swordsmanship. But this battle battle does not rely on martial arts, but on courage. These 10,000 people lined up, poked with guns, poked at guns, slashed at randomly, killed him indiscriminately, and just rushed in together. Even if you have a lot of martial arts, you can't play two points. But one husband Jia Yong, ten people use their lives. So, if the martial arts are not good, but also brave!"
In fact, Lu Xiang is also a bit of a mess here. In fact, he also coveted this Shi A's good martial arts, and now that he is in his hands to be his soldier, he will be happy to die a long time ago. But isn't this being framed here, subconsciously fighting for right and wrong. ….
But Shi Ah heard this and directly made it clear.
This has smeared Lu Xiang in the lake, what do you understand, I haven't even explained.
After that, I saw this Shi Ah suddenly pull out the ring-headed knife of a soldier, and then handed it to the armor soldier who had just used the scabbard, and motioned for him to use this to compete again.
The soldier wondered:
"Are you sure you use a real knife?"
Shi Ah shook his head, threw the wooden stump, and said:
"No, I'm going to take the blade empty-handed."
-----------------
The sun rises three poles, and the August sun shines on the city to make people drowsy.
Hou Feng, the lieutenant of Mi County, was on the head of the city, looking at the continuous military tents under the city, with a sad face. He whispered to the military officer on the side:
"Have you set off to rescue the people from Jingxian and Xingyang?"
The military officer nodded, saying that he had gone down to the city and had gone north.
But the officer still said:
"County Lieutenant, the Taishan thieves under this city are only in the front, and there are large troops behind. How can we prevent it then?"
Hou Feng had nothing to say, but his frowning brows deepened.
At this moment, a horse rushed from the enemy camp, holding a bamboo pole with a human head hanging on it, and he could not see his face clearly, but the enemy horse held a bamboo pole and galloped under the city and shouted:
"The thief is beheaded, and he doesn't open the door and surrender."
shouted a few times, and the Han soldiers on the gatehouse heard it clearly.
Although most of the troops in the city are Hou Feng's family, they still talked about it when they heard that the Mi County Order was dead.
Hou Feng listened to a few of the following words, either to abandon the city and flee
Thieves killed, in short, no one has a long heart. In order to prevent the panic from spreading, Hou Feng straightened up and said to the soldiers:
"Mi County ordered to be martyred for the country. In order to prevent the people of Mi County from being swordsmen, he told me that he wanted to defend the enemy outside the county border, so he resolutely took his soldiers and horses out of the city and stationed them at Wuzhiling, which was five miles away. But the moth thieves were hateful, and they pounced on our army with a sea of tricks, and the county monarchs were outnumbered and captured. But the county monarch was unwilling to be humiliated, and took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to kill the three thieves with a blade. Finally, he jumped off the cliff and died a heroic martyr."
The people present were thrilled when they heard it, and they really didn't expect their own county monarch to have such a strong side. They will not wonder why the Mi County Commander will go five miles away to block the enemy, nor will they suspect that the Mi County soldiers are here, where did the county monarch come from to snipe the enemy. I don't even wonder why the county lieutenant in the city seems to have experienced the scene of the county monarch's heroic martyrdom.
In short, in a few backbones, a few more rumors were spread:
"Yellow turban thief, rob your house, rob your field, rob your daughter-in-law, rob your money."
Although many Han soldiers muttered a few words:
"I don't have a land, no money, no house, no daughter-in-law. They're robbing ***."
But he was immediately reprimanded by the commander and other low-level military officials:
"You don't, the county lieutenant does. If you don't pick up a sword and gun to defend the Hou clan, and wait for the tax to be paid later, who will you borrow money from?"
The reprimanded Han soldiers immediately woke up, yes, Captain Wu was right.
So, he picked up Changge again and looked at the moth thieves with yellow turbans below, they were the ones who couldn't borrow money if he wanted to!
Hou Feng saw that his morale had recovered a lot, and finally relieved a few words, he looked at Jingxian in the north and Yuanling in the east, and he was eager to wear it.
Where the hell are your reinforcements?
What Hou Feng didn't know was that the reinforcements from the second county had already set off. But the last one still alive was just killed by the Yellow Turban Thief. ….
It turned out that when Zhang Chong sent the Lu brothers to besiege Mi County, he had already made preparations to encircle the point and send reinforcements. The most important of these was to mobilize the forces of Kyung-gun in the north.
Geographically, Mi County is already at the southern foot of Songshan Mountain, and Jingxian County to the north of it is just at the mountain pass of the Hewai Plain outside Songshan into Xingyang. In other words, if the Taishan army wants to advance into Xingyang as soon as possible, the fastest way is to take the mountain road between Mijing.
However, the normal attack on Jingxian County, not to mention the mountainous and rugged districts, could not send many troops. So he could only attack Mi County, mobilize Jing County in the north to come out by himself, and then ambush him.
Generally speaking, the tactic of encirclement is the most effective when used for the first time. The enemy army does not realize that the tactical level of the thief army is so high, and it is easy to fall for it. Since the Taishan army entered Henan County, it has not used any tactics beyond the level of the thief army, so it is convenient for Jingxian County to send troops without much thought.
Subsequently, 800 reinforcements from Jingxian County were ambushed and killed in the mountain road by He Yi with 2,000 soldiers.
He Yi volunteered to get this task, he saw that all the way north, and the Runan Yellow Turban under his command did not make any merit, he was worried that it would not be good to gain a foothold in the army in the future, so he grabbed the task of ambush.
Zhang Chong thought about it and agreed, after all, this task is indeed not that difficult, since He Yi is uneasy, he will calm his heart.
After He Yi cleaned up the battlefield, threw the corpse of the Han soldiers into the mountain pass, and then changed into the armor and military uniforms of the Han soldiers, and headed towards Jingxian in the north, obviously to win the capital county.
But alas, they just shouted below, defeated, defeated, to open the city gate above. There was a rain of arrows from above.
It is not surprising that He Yi obviously ignored that all his subordinates are from Runan, so how can the Runan accent deceive the people from Jingxian above.
He Yi was annoyed, since he couldn't use the plan, he would use the strong, so he asked people to build a cloud ladder and led people to attack Jingxian.
Poor most of the soldiers in Jingxian County have been thrown out, which will not even stand at the head of the city, how can they resist the courage of the Runan Yellow Turban. In less than an hour, the city of Beijing was broken.
He Yi originally wanted to learn from Zhang Chong's appearance, enter the city well, block the four people, and be a king's teacher. But these military leaders under He Yi have been restrained ruthlessly since the camp of the Taishan Legion. This will enter the city, and finally indulge, break the walls, burn and loot.
He Yi looked at his subordinates with a headache and scolded. I'm going to order a few to be killed
Rectify and purge military discipline, the little marshal He Bo on the side persuaded:
"Nephew, let the sons and daughters play. Do you want them to die and feed them first?"
Uncle He is He Yi's uncle, and when the elders said this, he didn't say much, so he only said fiercely:
"Just give two hours, and seal the knife after two hours."
But He Yi's original intention was to give only two hours. But this is undoubtedly a tacit acquiescence to the act of burning, killing and looting. The Runan Yellow Turbans, who were still outside the city, heard this military order, and without delay, they hurriedly swarmed into the city and joined the plundering army.
Time is tight, the task is heavy, can you not be sharp
He Yi and He Bo didn't join these senior military officials, anyway, they had their share anyway, so why bother competing with the people below.
At this time, He Yi suddenly turned his head and said to Uncle He:
"Uncle, I thought about it, we have to do a big deal."
"What?"
"We're not going back, we're going straight to Xingyang."
"Damn!"
"Yes, it is the life of Han Ting."
", Ren wants Uncle Ren's life."
……
He Bo and all the military officials persuaded He Yi, but He Yi was unmoved, and he was determined to attack Xingyang. In the end, take the biggest spoils of this battle.
And once He Yi, the commander of Qu Cheng, made up his mind, the soldiers could only accept it if they were unwilling. So, two hours later, He Yi did not delay any longer, and rushed to Xingyang, forty miles away, with two thousand sharp soldiers.
Only He Bo was not at ease, so he sent three more messengers to report the matter to Zhang Chong's main army who was already in Yuanling.
Ben also went north smoothly and made waves again.
Please call me Mr. Chen
