Volume 1 Troubled Times Chapter 185 Search
Seeing the city gate and seeing that the city gate was broken, Wang Rong looked happy, he got up, strode to the side of Chiyun, and wanted to turn over and get on the horse when he raised his legs. However, this action was stopped by Li Sujie, he blocked in front of Chiyun and Wang Rong, and said with a serious face: "Zhong Ming, this city gate has just been broken, and there are still remnants of the Ji army in the city, which is still very dangerous." At this moment, you should be here. ”
Wang Rong looked at Li Sujie with a serious face, so he had to put his legs down helplessly, sat back on the Maza, picked up the teacup, drank all the tea inside, and then said to Wang Hao: "Order!" Don't be idle with the 3rd Division, attack! The whole army is on the offensive! ”
Wang Hao bowed his hand and said, "Oh! ”
At this time, Yuan Tiangang had already killed five or six defenders in a row, he looked at the ring-headed sword body that had been cracked, and threw it casually, piercing into the chest of an enemy in front of him. Then he strode forward and picked up his sledgehammer. The feeling of heaviness and thickness began, and he felt his strength return.
The morale of the soldiers defending the city was not high, but after learning that Li Mubai and Li Xi had disappeared and fled, they were directly cleared.
A large number of soldiers of the Ji army took off their armor and uniforms, and only wore underwear, and went to hide in the city's houses. Yuan Tiangang saw the defenders who were running away with their feet scattered, and he did not pursue, strode to the city gate tower, and cut down the word "Ji" fluttering in the wind at the head of the city. The soldiers and soldiers of Bingzhou on the head of the city did the same, only to see that in an instant, the banners with the words "Ji" and "Li" written on the city head were constantly thrown off the city, and this situation made the psychological defense line of the remaining surviving defenders completely collapse.
Daxu and Jiangqi have been cut down, how can this battle be fought?
With the departure of the two main generals, the defenders in the city also gave up resistance, and in order to survive, it was really eight immortals who crossed the sea, each showing their abilities.
The army quickly poured into the city, captured the four gates, and began to clear the road at the gates to clear the way for the cavalry behind.
Immediately afterward, a group of wolf horsemen roared in, and the sound of horses' hooves in the streets of the city kept ringing.
As the wolf rode into the city, "Rebels kill!" Those who surrender live! The slogan resounded throughout the city. Seeing that he couldn't resist and couldn't escape, he gradually began to have the soldiers of the Ji army defending the city kneeling and surrendering, and the wind of surrender quickly spread, and the soldiers of the Ji army who were panicked but had nowhere to go in the city put down their weapons one after another, and let the fierce soldiers of the state put their weapons on their necks.
When the moon hung in the sky and the night fell, the battle in the city finally stopped, and the very few stubborn people in the defenders of the city of the Ji army, such as fireflies and the bright moon, were soon killed by the state army.
In the dark moonlight, the strong smell of blood permeated everywhere, and a tragic siege battle finally came to an end.
That night, there was chaos everywhere in Pingcheng, and there were Ji soldiers and soldiers fleeing for their lives everywhere, as well as large groups of Bingzhou troops searching for the remnants of the enemy in various parts of the city.
Li Xi was very miserable, when he fled from the city in a panic, he was just in time for the city gate to be breached, and when he crossed the street and wanted to escape from the east city gate, he found that the east city gate had been captured by the Yong army, and a large number of Yong soldiers were guarding the east city gate, and he had no chance to escape from the city.
In the end, Li Xi had to hide in Tibet alone, and the search of the soldiers on the street became more and more intensive, and in desperation, he had no choice but to break into a private house and hide.
It is a very dilapidated house, with no windows, and the thatch of the roof is also missing a piece on the east side, and there is no piece on the west side, and everywhere = air leakage. The cold wind in the early winter night was already very harsh for Li Xi, who was only wearing single clothes, and this house with leaky wind really had no effect on keeping out the cold at all.
Fortunately, this house is uninhabited, and in a corner, there is a curtain, and it is dark at night, which can allow Li Xi to hide all night. Li Xi curled up and hid in the corner shivering, tired, hungry and thirsty.
At that moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard wall, accompanied by a noisy shout, followed by a hurried knock on the door.
A rough voice sounded outside the courtyard gate: "Is there anyone?" We're searching for the rout, open the door! ”
The knock on the door rang for a long time, but there was no response, and another voice came: "Chief Wu, this courtyard looks like it's been empty for a long time, and this door is still half-hidden?" There won't be any problems, right? ”
The man known as Wu Chang listened, was silent for a moment, and said, "Go in and have a look, be careful!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Li Xi trembled in his heart, and hurriedly pulled the curtain to block himself.
Footsteps outside the house were getting closer, followed by the sound of the door being pushed open.
"Captain Wu, there is no one in this house, it seems that it is really abandoned. You see, there are no windows, even the roof is broken. ”
The person called Wu Chang said helplessly: "Shao Teniang's nonsense, search carefully, be serious, be careful of being attacked by the enemy, I can tell you, now this Pingcheng is ours, the battle is over, if anyone drops the chain for me now, be careful of Lao Tzu's military stick to serve." ”
"Hey, don't worry, head! It's a pity that we're dying. ”
Searching for the enemy army tonight, there have been more than a dozen cases of being killed by stragglers. In order to prevent such losses, Wang Rong ordered the whole army to search for the enemy in pieces and advance from the city walls to the city.
Several soldiers checked it, but because it was dark and Li Xi's hiding location was in the corner, it was not discovered. When he heard the footsteps of the soldiers of Bingzhou, he lifted the curtain and gasped for breath, at this time he was already soaked with sweat, and his face was covered with sweat.
Outside the courtyard gate, the roar of the military commander came from: "There is no one here! Hurry up, let's search somewhere else! ”
Li Xi listened carefully again, until he couldn't hear the footsteps, he completely relieved himself, leaned on the corner of the wall, and rejoiced that he had survived the disaster.
"Bang!"
The door, which was not very strong, was suddenly kicked open, and the two wooden door panels were directly kicked down.
The two soldiers from Bingzhou broke into the house and saw Li Xi, and shouted outside with surprise on their faces: "Commander Wu! Sure enough, there are people! ”
When Li Xi saw the enemy who broke in, his face suddenly changed sharply, and he stood up suddenly, but he didn't want to resist, and rushed directly to the window behind him, wanting to escape.
But since the soldiers of Bingzhou had already discovered him, how could they let him escape. I saw a Bingzhou soldier striding forward, crashing directly into Li Xi's body, knocking him to the ground, and making a dog eat. Another soldier instantly drew his sword, and the sharp and cold blade hit Li Xi's neck directly, so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to move.
At this time, several more soldiers poured in from outside the courtyard, holding torches in their hands, and Wu Chang, led by Wu Chang, broke in with a cruel smile, looked at Li Xi who was trembling on the ground, and asked coldly: "Hmph! I've already seen the shoes behind the curtain, and if you want to hide them, you have to put your feet away, and you want to deceive me with this kind of trick? Say! Who are you! ”
When Li Xi heard the question, he swallowed his saliva, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Jun! Ladies and gentlemen! I am a pharmacist from Youzhou, and I was originally going to do business here, but I didn't expect to encounter a military disaster, so I had to hide here for the night. ”
Wu Chang asked suspiciously, "Merchant? What about your cargo? What about your buddy? ”
Li Xi made a bitter look and said, "Don't mention it!" Speaking of this, I get angry, I am a pharmacist from Youzhou, I came here thousands of miles to sell medicinal materials, not to mention that I didn't get any money, and all the medicinal materials were taken away by this group of Ji soldiers. The soldiers are in chaos, you have to take something to defend yourself, military master. ”
Li Xi sighed as he spoke, he didn't expect that he would fall to this point today.
"Fart!" The soldier on the side directly kicked Nangong Yu, and Li Xi, who kicked him, screamed in pain, and then said, "Are you stupid when we are?" Still Youzhou people? Obviously has a Lingshou accent! Say! Are you a rout?! ”
Li Xi listened to the question of the Bingzhou soldiers, and felt a burst of chagrin in his heart, how did he forget the accent, how can he get through this difficulty now? You can only take one step at a time.
Seeing that Li Xi was silent, Wu Chang became even more suspicious, he stopped his soldiers from continuing to ask, and said: "Take it out first, after capturing so many prisoners, there will always be people who know him." Walk! ”
When the two arrogant merge soldiers heard this, they pressed the pale Li Xi out.
Wu Chang looked at the door panel that was kicked down, frowned, looked at the innocent subordinates beside him, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "Jin Er!" You kicked this door, right? You kid, don't you know the rules of the army? Hurry up, put the door on me! There are also windows, remember to mend the thatch on the roof, the soldiers are in chaos, this can also be a place for ordinary people to winter. ”
The hairy boy on the side, known as Jinji, lost the fierce momentum he had just now, and went to the door panel in frustration.
The commander of the army, with a few of his soldiers, pressed Li Xi and continued to search for the lone defeated soldiers in the city. And Li Xi secretly looked around, hoping in his heart that he could find an opportunity to escape. And this group of soldiers and soldiers didn't know that this guy who was caught was Li Xi, the main general of Pingcheng.
From time to time, a group of cavalry with torches swept by and roared away, and the road on which the tall northern war horses trampled was dusty.
At this time, a group of foot soldiers came to the front, all of them were dressed in single clothes, the wounds on their bodies were just tied with bandages at random, and there was a little blood oozing out of the wounds.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Bingzhou Army, it was to respect the strong and attach importance to the iron-blooded men who fought bravely, and this army composed of soldiers has proved its ability with blood today. Seeing them, Wu Chang and the others all showed a hint of admiration and solemnly gave them a military salute. Ground gave a thumbs up.
The leading hundred generals returned a military salute with a smile, and the foot soldiers behind him unconsciously straightened up, with a proud face.
Just as the two teams of people staggered by, the hundred generals casually glanced at Li Xi, who was tied, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he just walked a few steps, and suddenly turned his head and shouted: "Wait!" ”
Wu Chang and the others turned around with blank expressions and asked, "Lord Baijiang, what's wrong?" ”
The hundred generals approached, took a torch from the soldier beside him, approached Li Xi's face, looked at it carefully, and said through gritted teeth: "General Li Xi? You can make it easy for us to find it! ”
Everyone present was shocked, and the hands of Jin Er and the others instantly held the handle of the knife, and the sergeants and soldiers of the state showed a fierce light.
Li Xi's face suddenly turned gray, and his bound palms trembled unnaturally, he couldn't run away at all, and he couldn't get through the tricks, he couldn't figure out how he could be recognized by a team of ordinary soldiers.
Wu Chang stared at Li Xi's uncertain face, and said to the hundred generals: "Are you sure?" I can't admit that this is wrong! ”
Bai Jiang laughed, and said with anger on his face: "Haha, how could I admit my mistake? In the field battle outside Pingcheng, Lao Tzu gave him a break and let him flee for his life, what was the result? Just because we filled in the moat, he ordered us to be shot, and my brother was one of the corpses in the moat. ”
Li Xi listened to the words of the hundred generals, instantly came to his senses, stared at the hundred generals and the soldiers behind them in horror, and reprimanded angrily: "You, you, actually defected to the Yongjun, you are all traitors!" ”
The hundred generals roared with hideous faces: "Traitor? You are the traitor who did not care about our lives and deaths, fled for your life without permission, and finally ordered us to be shot! Bah! ”
Li Xi was embarrassed by the hundred generals, so he had to lower his head and remain silent.
Wu Chang looked at the excited hundred generals, for fear that he would kill Li Xi if he disagreed, so he hurriedly stepped forward to block the middle, and said loudly: "The general has an order!" If Li Mubai and Li Xi are captured alive, they must be sent to the camp immediately, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! ”
General Bai looked at the nervous Wu Chang, waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Don't be nervous, I won't do anything out of line, I don't know how strict the state military law is." ”
Wu Chang looked at the hundred generals who had calmed down, and breathed a sigh of relief, this hundred generals have good qi cultivation skills, and the future is limitless.
