Chapter 18: The First Test of the Childish Pig (26)
Changya came out of the house, heard a guard approaching, so he hid next to a corner of the house, a team of yellow-clothed guards walked by, one of them said: "The master of the horse called that person is the son of Chang Baishan, such martial arts, such a talent, there is no second person in the world." ”
The other said: "This is just a matter of talking about the two of us, don't let people hear it, no one can save you if you get into a killing disaster, do you know?" and said softly, "Do you know who is the person who led the troops outside the city to attack the Jingshi?"
The first man lowered his voice and said, "Thank you, brother, for reminding me, have you heard any news?"
"I don't know if it's accurate or not, but I heard that it was said that it was the son of the general of the Heavenly Dynasty Wutian, named Wu Gang, a god-like person, and he really had nothing more than Changya, and it was already rumored in the military camp that Wu Gang was calling for a battle outside the city today, looking like a god and martial arts, and only standing there, it made people feel convinced and admired in their hearts. It's a pity that you and I are busy chasing Changya and can't see each other. ”
Chang Ya said happily in his heart: "The second brother has great skills, he only got an army in a few days, the city has not been attacked, Yi Ce has fled in a hurry, but I failed this time, and I have to spend a lot of time, whether I can rescue his Jian'er girl I don't know, if not, how can I be worthy of him." ”
While thinking about it, he walked to the other side, and gradually moved away from the hiding place of Concubine Zhen, so he deliberately made a noise.
There is a person in the back: "There are people over there, everyone go over and have a look!"
There was a sound of footsteps, and sure enough, I saw a person with his head down and staggering, covering his shoulders as if the pain was unbearable, and they all surrounded him. Immediately, a snow-white light flickered all around him. One by one, the guards were stabbed in their throats. Holding his throat in his hand, he stared at him with death, as if he never believed that despair had befallen him in the blink of an eye.
He went out of the palace and went to the east of the city, where it was also heavily defended, and there were soldiers gathered there to stand by. So he picked a quiet place, floated out of the city wall, and immediately someone shouted, "Stop." The "whizzing" arrow flew after him, and he went straight to the gate of the city like a gust of wind. The arrows behind him landed one after another.
When they arrived in the south of the city, the number of sergeants who came and went gradually increased, and the military uniforms they wore were a little different from those of the Praetorian Guards in the city, and they knew that the siege soldiers were stationed here.
A sergeant of the cavalry army rode a tall horse, hung his spear on his horse, pointed his bow and arrow at Changya, and shouted: "Quickly retreat, spare you from death." "The voice of the shouting order is very majestic.
Chang Ya said: "I have an urgent matter to report to Lord Wugangwu, and you can't afford it for a while." "Talking back, it is also majestic.
He knew that the two armies were at war at this time. No matter what he said, the sergeant would not believe his words. In the distance, a group of knights heard movement in this direction. They're all coming this way. He was anxious in his heart, jumped up and rolled to the side of several knights in the air, shook their weapons to the ground with heavy hands, and said with a fist: "I am the third brother of Wu Gang, my name is Changya, and I am the descendant of Chang Baishan, the great general of the Tianyang Dynasty, no wonder if I am offended!"
A great battle had begun in the north of the city, and the two sides were firing fiercely at each other, with infantry falling in the formation and sergeants falling from arrows on the city walls. He came from inside the city and knew about the war arrangements in the city, but he had no intention of observing them, and rushed into the army formation, and immediately dozens of infantry came up to block it. Changya dismounted and raised his hands high, indicating that he had no intention of doing evil. The infantry cut his hands behind his back and escorted him to the camp.
Suddenly, the arrow feathers on the city wall were shot like a drizzle, Changya flew up and jumped up, pushed out the energy, and the arrows within ten zhang of the body fell one after another, and he shot out two rows of ice chips with the technique of "no hidden weapon", more than a dozen archers fell on the city, and the infantry sergeants under the city applauded. But immediately there were new archers on the walls, which he had expected, and then there was a rain of arrows, and the cat-waisted sergeants in the front row raised their shields to block it.
The infantry under the city began to storm, set up a long ladder and climbed up, poured oil on it, poured it on the ladder, and threw down torches, and the soldiers immediately set themselves on fire and fell down from the air, screaming fiercely.
Changya wanted to rush up and slaughter the stupid sergeants in the city and make a way for the infantry below. But this is not the time to kill the bloody road, he took a breath of true power and shouted, "Second brother, where are you?"
Feeling someone tapped him on the shoulder, he turned around and saw that it was Wu Gang, who was wearing a suit of armor and looking at him with a resolute face, his eyes showing fear, he already knew from Chang Ya's bleeding shoulder that things were in trouble.
Wu Gang said: "Third brother, come with me, this is not the place to talk." ”
The two retreated to a camp tent, and saw a tiger-eyed general in the tent, and from his big eyes, exuded the courage of a tiger and a lion. Changya only saluted the general slightly, and briefly said about this inexplicable defeat and the capture of Gao Gu, Wei Jian, and Baili Good Girl, Wu Gang's brows furrowed, and flames gradually appeared in his eyes.
At this time, several more generals came in, one with a long face, one with a white beard, and the others were quite heroic, and Changya respected these six generals at first sight. The five who just came in were Xu Qi, captain of the Xiaocai battalion, Zhang Yuan, captain of the guard battalion, Huang Ling, captain of the infantry battalion, Hu Yichu, captain of the Jianrui battalion, and Hao Baixiu, captain of the Shenji battalion. That General Tiger Eye is Lu Zhou, the captain of the forward battalion.
As soon as these five people came in, they shouted loudly, all of them were very angry, and Na Su said: "The cavalry of my cavalry battalion will be used as infantry envoys, and I will also take down the Beijing division. ”
Hao Baixiu said: "Isn't this a tactic to add oil? ”
Hu Yichu said: "We have no advantage, the only advantage is a sneak attack, and now the advantage is lost, and one day later, the foreign defense forces of the Beijing division will continue to support us, and we have only one way to go." ”
Zhang Yuan said: "Yes, we can only survive if we take the imperial city first, the left is a death, the right is also a death, fighting to the death is a heroic act." ”
Lu Zhou and Huang Ling's two battalions had already cooperated with one battalion as the vanguard of the siege, and there were already many casualties. In addition to the other tasks of the guard battalion, the Xiaocai Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, and the Jianrui Battalion couldn't wait for a long time, so they all came here to discuss countermeasures.
Hao Baixiu said: "Don't worry, everyone, wait and talk about it first." General Lu, General Huang, what's going on ahead?"
Lu Zhou said: "The equipment of the Praetorian Guard in the city is better than that of our forward battalion, and it occupies a favorable location, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and we have suffered heavy casualties. ”
Huang Ling said: "This time in a hurry, my infantry is equipped with light crossbows, which is not as good as the strong bow of the Praetorian Guard, which will lose its advantage." Nie Zhaofeng is a scheming veteran, the equipment allocated to us is not good at all, and the Praetorian Guards are the best. ”
The reports of the two were full of unfavorable information, and at this time, the sound outside was overwhelming, and Lu Zhou said: "Generals, please move outside the camp to see the strong attack of our army." "When they went outside the camp and climbed up the tower, they saw the infantry men rushing to the wall, and many ladders were erected, but they were immediately stopped by strong arrows, and only a few of those ladders reached the wall, but they were soon burned down. This round of strong attacks ultimately failed.
Changya on the side had roughly understood, but he was anxious. Wu Gang was distracted, and he didn't understand the war, so he couldn't interject. Both of them are bent on two ends, and they have no idea at all. Suddenly, a gong sounded, and the sergeant in front slowly retreated, but it was not in any disorder, and the infantry battalion was well-trained and unfazed.
There was a temporary cessation of war inside and outside the city.
Changya met with the six generals, and the generals were amazed to learn that Changya was the son of Chang Baishan. Xu Qi said: "The descendants of the three heroes of the past, Wuchang and the two heroes, have all appeared, and they are all equipped with unique skills, but it is a pity that the descendants of my Zhongzhou General Chen Tielong do not know where they are? By this time, Wu Gang had already recovered his panic, and as the saying goes, caring is chaotic, and he forced himself to be calm with strong self-control.
He comforted Chang Ya and said: "Third brother, every qiē is determined by heaven, and the war here will be known tomorrow, and then we will go to find them together." "Tell the six generals about it.
Hao Baixiu laughed and said, "Yes, we have lost the opportunity to sneak attack, and there is still an opportunity here, why not take advantage of it." ”
Everyone asked what the plan was, Hao Baixiu said: "Yi Ce is in power, there is no jade seal, he does not dare to openly claim the emperor, the regime is already unstable, and it is rumored that he is rebellious outside, it has become an open secret, this time he abandoned the sergeant and fled, which is a big taboo." What will his subordinates do if they know that they have been abandoned?" Wu Gang knew about the jade seal, but he felt that it was not yet time to make it public.
Su Qi said: "Brother Hao's reasoning is very good, but there is a good plan?"
Hao Baixiu said: "'Soldiers, if they lose their way, they will be weak, and if they gain the way, they will be strong; If Izze loses the Tao, he will lose the support of the people, and if he wants to be restrained, he should make a good article from this word "Tao." ”
After speaking, he shouted, "Come on." "A soldier came in from outside, and he stood up and listened to the command. Hao Baixiu said: "Can you write?"
The pro-soldier said: "After reading the book for two years, I can write ordinary words." ”
Hao Baixiu said: "You have found fifty people like you from the camp and come to me to listen to orders. "The sergeant went.
Hao Baixiu wrote: Yi Ce, the world's number one rebel, killed his wife after killing the king, and was the common enemy of the Central Continent. Kill Itzer and uphold justice. Build the era of the Guardian Emperor.
Everyone applauded, and they all said that the last eight words were excellent, and when a flag was erected, it was written "Kill Yice and support justice." so that the hostile spirit may be dissipated.
Fifty soldiers who could write had already gathered outside the gate, and Hao Baixiu ordered each of them to write a hundred sheets, all written on silk cloth, rolled up and tied to arrows, and shot into the city. Leave a thousand copies for me. (To be continued......)
