Chapter 65: Crisis
The midnight raid at the North Gate not only destroyed the embankment that the Ming army had worked hard to build for many days, but also killed Miao Yitang, the deputy general of Ningxia, and also annihilated more than 10,000 Ming troops, which was definitely an undoubted victory.
After dawn, Bibai personally rewarded the soldiers who went out of the city to participate in the battle, commended the three Ying brothers, Wei Dongqing and Ji Xiaoqing who carried out the beheading operation, and focused on rewarding the eldest of the three Ying brothers who beheaded Miao Yitang to win the lion.
Of course, the three Ying brothers were not able to accept the award in public, and they could only hide in the shadows during the day.
Wei Dongqing won the award, arrogant in his heart, and desperately wanted to see Bitana and show him about it.
That night, Bitana quietly returned from the inn to the General Soldier's Mansion, came to the cell where Wang Ling and Rong'er were held in the backyard, lied to the jailer and asked the two "female prisoners" to be interrogated overnight, and after deceiving them, she asked them to go directly to Du Wenlin.
After dawn, she came to the hall of the General Soldier's Mansion, saw Bibai, and bluntly said that she had let go of the two girls.
Bibai was furious when he heard this, and asked why he was eating inside and out?
She said that it was to look at the two girls pitiful, and the war should have been a man's business, so why bother the two women.
Bitana has been without a mother since she was a child, and Bi Bai regards her as a pearl, and she is extremely pampered on weekdays.
He released the hostages privately, which made Bibai furious, and he wanted to punish him heavily, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back, and ordered the guards to lock him in the boudoir to reflect on it, and not to go out for the time being
Wei Dongqing rushed all the way and ordered the guards guarding the door to open the door and step into the boudoir.
Bitana, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and was angry, saw Wei Dongqing suddenly come in and plugged the door, and suddenly became vigilant:
"Wei Dongqing, what are you doing here?"
Wei Dongqing stretched the hem of the blue shirt with his hand, holding his head high:
"Last night, I led the daredevils to defeat the Ming army at the North Gate in one fell swoop. No, I just received a commendation from Mr. Bi!" As he spoke, he had a smug look on his face.
With a look of disdain, Bitana turned her head to look out the window, ignoring him.
Wei Dongqing was a little annoyed when he saw Bitana's attitude, and he reached out to touch her face.
Bitana raised her hand and opened her hand, and said coldly:
"What do you want to do?"
Wei Dongqing's hippie smile:
"Don't you know what your brother wants to do?"
"Get out!"
Wei Dongqing suddenly reached out and hugged Bitana's soft body from behind, and kissed her neck with his mouth.
He really couldn't control the desire to move.
Suddenly, the right side of the rib was cold, and when I looked down, I saw that a dagger was inserted into my body, and blood continued to ooze out along the blade, and the pain immediately spread throughout my body.
Let go of the arm holding Bitana, covering the wound tightly, a look of disbelief on his face.
Bitana didn't pull out the dagger, and immediately jumped away, her face full of anger.
The flame in Wei Dongqing's heart has been completely extinguished, staring at Bitana:
"You're so ruthless!"
Bitana didn't say a word, staring at him coldly.
Wei Dongqing always thought that with his suave and excellent martial arts, he would definitely win the heart of Bitana. I didn't expect to be slapped in the face by reality.
With despair in his eyes, he staggered towards the door, opened it, and was helped away by the guards outside the door.
Bitana sat in the room in a daze, full of thoughts.
Since he had a skin-to-skin relationship with Du Wenlin, he has regarded himself as his person.
According to Tatar customs, once a woman has a physical relationship with a man, she will definitely follow her in this life and never be separated again.
However, the night was all directed by her alone, and the other party passively accepted it, did she cherish this affection as much as she did?
The key is that the two are in a hostile camp, they are the daughter of the rebel leader, and he is the general of the Ming army, which is an incompatible relationship, who would have thought that they had such a relationship, is it fate?
Wei Dongqing's injuries were not serious, because he had the blood of the "Night Clan" in his body, and his self-healing ability was extremely strong.
However, the wounds in the heart cannot be healed.
He could not bear this humiliation and had to take revenge.
I was originally sent by the "Red Seal Sect" to serve as a liaison between the two sides, but I didn't know that I was involved in the war, which was not my intention. There are a hundred unhappy hearts in their hearts.
However, one is forced by the pressure of Bi Bai and can't help himself, and the other is because he has fallen in love with Bitana and wants to please Bi Bai.
He did make a lot of efforts for Ningxia City, not only came by himself, but also invited his lover Ji Xiaoqing and the three Ying brothers to help. This favor is not big enough?
The red-robed man himself was not familiar with it, he came by himself, it is said that he was a senior leader in the sect, and he came here to inspect the battle situation in Ningxia City, and secondly, to discuss cooperation with Bibai.
However, he has already returned to Guannai, and Wei Dongqing does not know what specific deal he made with Bibai.
Before leaving, he instructed Wei Dongqing to do his best to help Bibai defend Ningxia City. Because Ningxia City does not miss a day, the imperial court will not be able to free up its hands to deal with the "Red Seal Sect", so as to give the religion more time to develop and grow.
Born in a poor family, he became a "future star" by chance and learned martial arts. I feel that I should devote myself to the lintel of the official career, but his lowly background makes his career unsuccessful, and in the end he has to find another way, stooping to the "Red Seal Sect", imagining that if this religion can one day replace the Zhu family, wouldn't he become the founding father?
Du Wenlin also took great pains to set up an emergency team.
He organized more than 20 factory guards into the squad, and selected 200 martial arts masters from the army, and after simple training, all of them were also incorporated into the squad.
and gave the squad the name "Surprise Soldiers".
Simply measured the strength of both sides, even if the other party is not a red-robed person, just the "Three Brothers of the Winning Family", Wei Dongqing and Ji Xiaoqing, the five people, there is no chance of winning on their side.
However, it is better to talk than nothing, at least than to sit back and wait.
Moreover, the situation on the battlefield is changing, and whether you can win or not depends only on the will of God, and you should do everything with your heart.
Du Wenlin stationed the "strange soldiers outside the city" in the barracks outside the east gate of Ningxia City and maintained a state of attack at any time.
The dam construction project is proceeding in an orderly manner and has begun to take shape.
It was another month of dark and windy nights, and the wind was whistling through Ningxia City with yellow sand.
When he first arrived, the south gate suddenly opened, and countless cavalry rushed out.
Responsible for the siege of the south gate is Li Rusong, the chief soldier of Shanxi, and most of his 70,000 soldiers and horses are the old team he brought from Liaodong, all of whom are capable of conscription and war.
Tonight, when I saw that the enemy took the initiative to send me to the door, I was so excited that I was like I had drunk enough Ningxia Lao Baigan, and all of them were in good spirits, just waiting for an order to quickly attack and annihilate the enemy under the city.
The two armies soon met in short arms, and the same shield formation met the cavalry formation. The same cavalry who rushed to the front was overturned by the hook and sickle behind the shield.
The five men in black rose from their horses, flew over their shields, and rushed straight into the formation.
All of the attacks were in the same pattern as the night at the North Gate.
They rushed left and right in the formation, looking for and chasing officers at all levels, but they had not yet found a senior general of the Ming army who could influence the situation of the battle.
In their imagination, tonight's raid would surely have the same results as that night.
Because as things stand, everything is replicating the pattern of that night.
The officers who were targeted by the men in black were all fleeing in all directions, and people's desire to survive was innate, and they were in a hurry to avoid the five deaths who demanded their lives.
Due to the loss of effective command and coordination among the soldiers, the defenses in front of the formation had been loosened, and many cavalry broke through the shield barrier and entered the formation.
Suddenly, the eastern war horse neighed, and a small group of cavalry quickly rushed over.
The leader was Du Wenlin, who was followed by Wang Ling and Rong'er, and behind him were the more than 200 "Biansaiqi soldiers".
These thousands of martial arts masters slaughtered the enemy cavalry, and those Tatar cavalry, who were like wolves feasting on sheep, became meat on the chopping block at this time, and were killed and scattered in all directions.
Du Wenlin intercepted the three brothers of the Ying family, who was chasing and killing a thousand households, and the sword made a move to "push the window and look at the moon" to quickly draw out the flat chest, and the winning lion was in a hurry and did not have time to respond, and his body rose upside down, and he escaped the catastrophe of breaking his belly.
The three brothers came with the same heart, the eldest was attacked, and the other two brothers immediately rushed over and formed a triangular siege against Du Wenlin.
The factory guards brought by Du Wenlin saw that the leader was under siege and came up to relieve the siege, but unfortunately their skills were too different from the three brothers, and they cut down the three of them with a single move.
Wang Ling caught up with Wei Dongqing, and he was fighting inseparably.
Rong'er entangled Ji Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing's skills were slightly poor, and she was forced by Rong'er to keep retreating, but she would not be defeated for a while.
Du Wenlin examined the situation on the battlefield, and then letting the others step forward is tantamount to giving up their lives in vain, for the sake of today, only by letting go of himself and dragging them down, can others have the opportunity to attack.
Raising his head and letting out a long roar, he waved his sword, and slashed at the winning tiger who rushed to the front with a move of "Thunderball".
Ying Hu was more confident in his skills, and seeing that the long sword was approaching, he did not avoid or dodge, and raised the short knife to face the sword.
With a "cang" sound, the sword and the short knife collided, emitting a dazzling light.
Du Wenlin's arm was shocked, faintly sore, and he pressed the sword down hard, and the short knife was gradually lowered.
Yinghu didn't expect the other party's arm strength to be so great, and began to regret that he was too big and fell into danger.
Win the lion, win the leopard saw that the second child was in danger, and attacked from one left and one right at the same time.
Du Wenlin was forced to let go of the winning tiger and retreat to dodge attacks from both sides.
Win Hu was annoyed and angry, and as soon as the pressure was gone, he followed him and killed him.
Du Wenlin used the "boundless falling wood" in Huashan swordsmanship, which looks plain and unremarkable, but it is like pine needles falling quietly in the forest, pervasive and shrouded in the four fields.
Seeing that Du Wenlin's sword moves were unremarkable, the three brothers thought that they had seized the perfect opportunity to attack, and the three short knives stabbed instantly, and the opponent could not escape the thunderous blow of the three masters even if it was Da Luo Immortal.
However, when the blade was a foot away from Du Wenlin's body, it could no longer attack, and the three of them found that the other party's sword pierced their own face at the same time. He had to retract his sword and defend himself, thus losing the best opportunity to hunt the enemy.
Du Wenlin forced the three of them back, without stopping, his body rotated extremely fast, and the sword body of the "Gu Bai Sensen" turned into a piece of silver brilliance that instantly shrouded the surrounding area, forcing the three of them to keep retreating.
Although the three Ying brothers have also fought with Du Wenlin, they have never taken it in their eyes, and they did not expect that the enemy would be forced to be in a hurry and embarrassed.
After the three of them set their feet, they all put away their hearts to light the enemy, and glanced at each other, and the boss won the lion and let out a sharp howl in the sky, and the three of them launched an attack at the same time.
The stormy attack of the three of them quickly put Du Wenlin in a crisis. It was another trick of "boundless falling wood", but under the pressure of the three masters, the power was greatly reduced. Before the sword could be deployed, it was blocked halfway. The three short knives followed and slashed, and Du Wenlin fell into a crisis in an instant.
