Chapter 53: The Wind Rises in Zengtou City (6)

At night, on the top of the moon, the horse picks the luan bell, the sergeant rank, Wei Dingguo led five hundred soldiers in silk clothes and a thousand elite soldiers, followed the two monks in the night, and after a short time, they entered the Fahua Temple in the east of Zengtou City.

Wei Dingguo took advantage of the moonlight to look at the environment in the Fahua Temple, only frowned slightly, but his heart was more and more sure that this was a trap, this Fahua Temple was full of signs that had just been cleaned, and the conspicuous damage everywhere proved that there had been no one living in this temple for a long time.

Only this Shenhuo general was also a bold and careful person, and only ordered his own soldiers to keep an eye on the fake monks in this temple, especially the two people before, and scattered five hundred red-clothed firefighters around the temple to calm the brakes and respond to all changes.

On the third watch day, the cloudy moon hangs high, and the golden drums suddenly sound outside the Fahua Temple, the shouts vibrate the ground, and the fire rises in all directions, and the continuous torches will print the night sky into a fiery red.

Outside the Fahua Temple, the five sons of the Zeng family: Zeng Tu, Zeng Mi, Zeng Suo, Zeng Kui, and Zeng Sheng, each led 500 Jurchen descendants, and governed more than 2,000 Han Zhuang Ding, and surrounded the Fahua Temple.

Zeng Tu, the son of the Zeng family, wore a golden helmet, wore iron armor, tied a velvet silk around his waist, rode a fast horse, bent a bow and inserted arrows, hung a scarlet robe, stepped on a stirrup, and twisted a steel spear in his hand.

At this time, five brothers, leading more than 5,000 people, blocked in front of the main gate of Fahua Temple, and the two earliest monks of Fahua Temple were also among them.

I only heard the two monks say to Zeng Tu: "The eldest prince, then Wei Dingguo has more than 1,500 people and horses in the temple at the moment, according to a certain person, this guy is just a straw bag general, so you don't need to care too much." ”

"Don't think like this, our Zengtou City is now exposed, and it hangs alone in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, every step is an abyss, and we must not make a mistake and ruin the plan of His Majesty Yan." Zeng Tu Zhengse said, although he said so, but Zeng Tu agreed with what the monk said, and only felt that the general of the Great Song Dynasty was so easy to deceive, he really entered this Fahua Temple.

"Big brother, don't be so careful, the younger brother will go and capture the Song general and win the jackpot."

Zeng Sheng, the youngest of the five sons of the Zeng family, said proudly, this Zeng Sheng relied on the love of his father Zeng Lang and his four brothers on weekdays, his personality was perverse, and he acted without taboos.

When Zeng Sheng's voice fell, he led his five hundred descendants of the Jurchen clan to rush into the Fahua Temple, Zeng Tu saw this, afraid that he would lose, and hurriedly called the second brother Zeng Mi and the fourth brother Zeng Kui to follow.

The three brothers led more than 2,000 people to enter the Fahua Temple with great momentum, but they saw that the Fahua Temple was empty, and there was no one around.

Zeng Mi, the second of the three, was the most stable, and only said to the two younger brothers: "Fourth brother, fifth brother, now the situation between the enemy and me is not yin, this Fahua Temple is a huge courtyard, those officials and soldiers don't know where to hide now, let's quit first, wait for the two masters to send a signal, let's do it together, so as not to fall into the trap of that guy." ”

Zeng Mi's words are Lao Cheng's serious words, but Zeng Kui and Zeng Sheng are arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and no one is used to it, at this time, the soldiers under their command are strong and strong, how can they put Wei Dingguo's more than 1,000 people in their eyes, and only smiled: "The second brother is not raising the ambition of those guys, and now he is just at the end of the road, and hiding is just to live for a while." ”

Before the words landed, I saw the Fahua Temple Daxiong Treasure Hall open in response, a person wearing a vermilion inlaid gold hair helmet, wearing a pair of serial beast swallowing face armor, wearing a red robe embroidered with clouds and flying monsters, holding a familiar copper knife in his hand, the heroic general stepped out, the moonlight hit his face, and he looked at it full of mockery and sneered.

In an instant, five hundred firefighters flew out of the hidden places, wearing silk clothes and holding firearms, and dozens of vine balls the size of water tanks fell from the towering ancient trees around them. On the backs of the firefighters, each tied an iron gourd, which contained a five-colored smoke of sulfur flame and nitrate, lit it together, and flew out.

The fierce fire suddenly burned the Fahua Temple into a blood-red, and the yellow and green smoke drifted into the air, people fell close to each other, and horses were injured.

In less than half a tea time, half of the more than 2,000 people brought into the Fahua Temple by the three brothers of the Zeng family fell to the ground, and the three of them were in shock, when they saw more than 1,000 people covering their faces with red cloth, covering their mouths and noses, and rushing into the field, with spears in their hands, and stabbing at the people of Zengtou City.

At this time, the three brothers of the Zeng family couldn't manage much, and only led the more than two or three hundred Jurchen descendants who were still awake to rush out, and those sergeants who were unconscious on the ground, and the Han Zhuangke who were struggling to support them, were abandoned on the spot, but anyone who stood in the way would kill their own people.

Zeng Mi and Zeng Kui brandished two steel guns, protecting Zeng Sheng's life and rushing towards the outside of Fahua Temple, only at this time Wei Dingguo would let these people go, the five hundred clothed firefighters wrapped around the future, scratched the hook together, the lasso flew in, and the Zeng Mi and Zeng Kui people were pulled to the ground, that Zeng Sheng was used to using two flying knives, but he cut the rope by mistake, and was saved, and only withdrew from the Fahua Temple with one or two hundred remnants.

Zeng Tu and Zeng Suo, who stayed outside, hurriedly took Zeng Sheng back into the formation, and saw that the five hundred firefighters in silk clothes were holding various firearms, rushing out of the gate of Fahua Temple, followed by a large number of soldiers.

As the so-called defeat is like a mountain, it was only one or two incense sticks before the three brothers of the Zeng family rushed into Fahua Temple violently, and only Zeng Sheng was left alone among the three brothers to escape.

Wei Dingguo ordered Zeng Mi and Zeng Kui to be tied up, and all the Jurchens were stabbed to death with guns, and the Han villagers were all tied hand and foot and imprisoned in Fahua Temple.

After a fight, Wei Dingguo's side had almost no losses, so he led his troops back to the Lingzhou barracks, but Wei Dingguo didn't know at this time that although he was a big victory in Zengtou City, Shan Tingjue's side was in great trouble.

At the entrance of Zengtou City, under the cover of the death of five hundred Xuanjia sailors under his command, Shan Tingqi fled in the direction of Yunzhou, seeing that the Xuanjia sailors who were like brothers to him on weekdays were shot to death one by one, Shan Tingju only felt that his heart was like a knife, and he couldn't breathe in pain.

Behind Shan Tingjue, Shi Wengong, a teacher in Zengtou City, bent his bow and inserted arrows, sat down on a thousand miles of dragon horses, and there was a Fang Tian painting halberd on the horse's back, holding the bow like a full moon, and shooting an arrow towards Shan Tingjue's back heart, the arrow cut a sound of breaking the wind, and Shan Tingju in front of his head only felt that there was a crisis in his heart, how did his hair rise, and his body twisted between the lightning and flint, avoiding the fatal position, but he was still taken off the horse by the strength of the arrow.

Seeing this, Shi Wengong in the rear hit the horse with Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, wanting to end Shan Tingjue's life, at this extremely critical moment, he heard the sound of thunderous horse hooves on the official road in the direction of Yunzhou, and an eight-foot man in front of his head was rushing to the horse, and at the moment when Shi Wengong handed out Fang Tian's halberd, a snake spear stopped in front of Shan Tingjue.
