Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 87 Counting the Flower Arm
The team that had eliminated the bridgehead guards quickly rushed to the dock fort, and the guards at the entrance slept soundly before meeting Hades.
Two hundred guards, a dozen of them were on watch, but they were almost all asleep like pigs before dawn.
Until a guy heard the movement below and looked at the battlement, he screamed in fright, but was immediately found by Guo Jiufeng An arrow shot through his throat, and he couldn't shout a second time.
However, the cry woke up the others, and immediately a gong was sounded to warn them.
The defenders who woke up from their dreams rushed out of their huts before they had time to put on their clothes, only to be met by the intruders waiting outside.
Archers and spears sealed the doorway, and some people stood behind the sword and shield bearers and ordered the people inside to come out one by one with their hands raised.
Some of the sheds were obedient, and those who came out were tied with ropes and sat under the eaves.
But there was also a shack manager who refused to surrender, but he didn't expect the other party to talk nonsense, and called more than 20 captives to pick up thatch from the beams of the house, and piled it under the window.
Someone killed the leader who refused to surrender, and the shed also picked out the white flag and lowered.
There were still twenty or thirty of them in the fort, and they tried to break through at the instigation of the general, but four of them were shot as hedgehogs, and three or five were wounded.
Seeing that he couldn't do it, the commander of the dock fort was shot to death again. The highest-ranking sentry general lost his will to fight, so he had to give the order to abandon his weapon. Thirty people died before and after, and the fort fell.
Leaving a hundred or so people to clean up the battlefield and guard the Fengtou Bridge and wait for the rear team, Zhou Qin quickly rushed into the town with the others.
The firearms team, accompanied by half of the archery team, went straight to Tujiayuan, and Zhou Qin's right camp directly surrounded the north village gate of the western camp.
The distance between Wubao and Xidaying is actually not far, only about 300 steps. The commotion from near and far had already alarmed the enemy troops in the camp.
The guard general is a captain named Weiqiao, this person has some courage and responsibility, but he was easily woken up by his subordinates after drinking a few drinks last night, and his brain is still a little ignorant. "What's wrong?" He asked.
"The captain is not good, there is movement over there in the dock fort, like the sound of shouting and fighting, do we want reinforcements?" The general of his subordinates asked, and he was so anxious that his face was sweaty, because it was a bit of a waste of time to wake up the captain.
"What time is it?"
"It's already five watches!"
Weiqiao frowned: "It's noisy at this time, I'm afraid it's not good." You send someone to check it out first, and gather 500 people to go with me!" ”
"Captain, someone has been sent, but none of the two groups of people have come back so far!"
"So what are you waiting for?" Wei Qiao hurriedly turned over and got out of bed: "Hurry up and assemble the team!" As he spoke, he called his soldiers to hurry up and prepare their horses.
The west camp has two camp gates, west and east. Weiqiao led 500 men out of the west gate in a hurry, and when he went down the hill, he heard a shout, and a detachment of men and horses rushed up behind the slope, and the team was scattered.
One general immediately shouted: "Where is the traitor?" Luling Xiao Wanhe is here! After saying that, he stabbed with a spear.
Wei Qiao was shouting to change the formation, and he didn't have time to take the long soldier, he reached out and pulled out the waist knife, but the knife was in his right hand, but Xiao Wanhe's spear came from his left back, and it was too late to turn around to resist, and the spear pierced through the back waist.
Originally, he didn't wear armor when he came out of the wilderness, and the huge inertia made the spearhead of a foot of the spear completely penetrate in front of him. As Xiao Wanhe drew his spear, the bridge fell, but his left foot was still hanging from the stirrups.
A soldier from the left battalion stepped forward and slashed with a sword, cutting off his head, and instantly picking it at the head of the red tassel spear.
The rest of the people were shocked when they saw it, and they fled back one after another. Most of those who didn't have time to run were killed or lowered. Outside the west gate, there was blood, corpses were everywhere, and less than 100 people fled back to the camp.
The left battalion carried the head of the guard bridge and showed off its might in front of the gate, lined up in five squares. The accompanying Gao Hanzi squadron shouted loudly in front of them, persuading everyone on the mountain to open camp early and surrender.
At this time, the highest position left in the camp was a general surnamed Qin, and seeing this, he had to send someone out of the east gate and quickly went to Tu's courtyard to report and ask for help.
The men who had only been sent after half a cup of tea fled back in disarray, reporting that the east side was also surrounded. "It's even worse over there, there are not only regimental training but also officers and soldiers below, and the number is no less than that of the people in the west!"
At this time, someone came to report that the north side was also surrounded, and Qin Jiang had no idea at all, so he had to hope that Tu's courtyard could hear the shouts and killings here and rush to the rescue.
On the one hand, he told the people to close the doors, and on the other hand, he told everyone to go up to the wall, and put on the appearance of defending it.
Who knew that the other party was just surrounding, not attacking, Qin put the general ascending and saw that there were troops transferred to the east, guessing that the other party might concentrate his forces to deal with Tu Jiayuan first, he couldn't help but cry bitterly, and secretly prayed that Hua Arm could break the enemy and then rush to rescue himself.
The eastward transfer team that Qin Jiang always saw was the first squadron of the Tie Linglong Sun Society and the Tie Hammer and Shi San Grinding Divisions that had just been annexed, adding up to more than 700 people.
Tie Tsuzi and Shi Sanyan were bent on performance, so they took the initiative to ask Ying to ask for assistance in attacking Tu's courtyard.
Sheng Huaien thought about it and felt that it made sense, some of them had been to Tu's courtyard to understand the situation inside, and seeing that their annexation was also a serious psychological blow to the defenders, he agreed, and transferred two hundred officers and soldiers to follow.
In this way, the scale of the eastward transfer team has reached nearly 1,000 people. A team of 1,000 people passed through the town, and there was a lot of movement, and the faces of everyone in the big camp on the mountain turned pale, and the two trembled, and their morale instantly slipped in the exchange of ears.
When the two iron tweezers and Shi Sanyan, who had turned positive, straightened their waists and rushed to Tu's courtyard with Sun She in high spirits, Li Dan and the others had already played two rounds of fire guns outside the door, which did little damage and was extremely deterrent.
In the first few attacks on Nanshan, many people who were injured by the fire guns were snatched back by the subordinates of the flower arms, but it turned out that it was better not to rob them, and these wounded either had to have their limbs amputated, or struggled for a while or died.
Even after amputation, many of them could not be retained, and none of them actually survived.
Therefore, the traitors have become a tiger talking about the fire gun, and just seeing the opposite side raising the gun, they are so frightened that they lie on the ground and refuse to get up if they say anything. So as soon as the fight started here, the wall suddenly became a mess.
As soon as Hua Arm saw that this was worth it, he immediately ordered his soldiers to step forward and hack to death more than a dozen of those who escaped, which barely suppressed the army's heart.
"Mom, these Nanshan cubs are coming quickly! Could it be that which one gave them a message? He scolded viciously, and called some of his cronies to shout at them:
"Don't be afraid! There are thousands of people in Nanshan, what are you afraid of? Hold on! Later, Xiying and Toad Pond will definitely come over for reinforcements when they hear the movement, and then we will kill them together! ”
As he was talking, a small flag came running: "Report! Three young marshals, the enemy outside the door has increased, increased troops! ”
"Huh? How many people came? Officers and soldiers or regimental training? ”
"Thousands of people came! It is neither an officer nor a regimental exercise. ”
"Huh?" Lou Shifan glared at him, and was about to scold this little flag for not having a long brain, when he suddenly saw another small flag running over: "Third young marshal, the people outside are shouting and want to talk to you." ”
"What cats and dogs are bothering Lao Tzu? Let them have the ability to fight, but they don't have the ability to go home and feed! After Lou Shifan finished speaking, he waved the arm tattooed with blue and white flowers.
Unexpectedly, the little flag grinned: "The three young marshals are all acquaintances, not the officers and regiments on the South Mountain." Let's check it out. ”
Lou Shifan looked at these subordinates with wide eyes, and wondered how he could not hold back his curiosity and ran up the wall. Look down, ho, there are thousands of people out there!
At this time, the sky has been brightened, and the chickens have crowed all over the place, although there is some mist, but they can basically see clearly.
He thought he was dazzled, and rubbed the back of his hand, surprised to see that many of them had seen it.
At this time, a man stepped forward and said loudly: "Third young marshal, I'll come from Toad Pond and say good morning to you!" ”
Lou Shifan took a step back and looked left and right in disbelief: "What's wrong with Toad Pond, why didn't anyone come to report?" ”
"Young marshal, I don't know, and listen to what he says." Someone persuaded him, so he asked in a loud voice, "Which one are you?" Get your name in! ”
"Monk, don't even recognize me? I'm an iron hammer! ”
"Iron tweezers? Aren't you under Tian Zhizi, what are you doing at the gate of the camp this morning? No, where did the group practice just now? Didn't you descend to Nanshan? ”
"Ha, you guessed it! Master, I am now the head of Ge Yangwei, and Shi Sannian and Ge Xingxing are all general flags!
Oh, do you recognize this person next to me? This is Sun Tie, he is now a big man, the deputy envoy of defense in the regimental training, the deputy mile of the brigade, and the management of nearly a thousand people! ”
There was an uproar on the wall, only the circle of people around Lou Shifan handed each other glances and didn't dare to squeak.
"Iron hammer, you have a fart, let it go, and use less words to seduce the military!" Hua Arm was furious, he naturally knew what the other party meant by talking so much.
"What do you want to do? Lao Tzu didn't treat you badly, can you be such a treacherous offender? You all called the officers and soldiers deceived! ”
"Flower arms, grandma's, you don't pretend to be a good person!" Shi Sannian jumped out and scolded: "You fathers and sons don't treat your brothers as people, you only care about making your own fortune and holding your little mother, and you still dream of building a country?" Phew!
What kind of righteous army are you to kill innocents, rob people's daughters, and plunder? Did all the rhetoric at the time of the incident be thrown to the dogs? ”
"You fart!" Lou Shifan was angry and scolded.
After all, he was young, and he was raised in honey by his father, how could he be so angry, he immediately wanted to go down and fight hard, and all his henchmen hurriedly hugged and stopped, and they were in a hurry.
When the people outside saw it, they started to heckle and scream, and shouted loudly: "Above, hurry up and tie your arms and come out and surrender!" Nanshan can't wait for me, three meals a day! ”
Lou Shifan became more and more anxious, and was pulled off the wall by everyone, and said angrily: "These thieves and slaves have deceived me too much!" Wait until the day I break the formation, kill them all, and then relieve the hatred! ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw several leaders take off the turbans wrapped around their heads and throw them on the ground, and they couldn't help but be shocked: "What are you doing here? Don't listen to their nonsense! ”
"Third young marshal, I'm sorry." Several people crossed their hands and said: "Unfortunately, we are all the 'thief slaves' you said." Since the three generals can't afford to wait, the Tao is different, let's get together and disperse! ”
Originally, the word "thief slave" was a special term given by the mine supervisor to the prisoners who were assigned to work in the mines, and it was of a contemptuous and insulting nature.
Just now, Lou Shifan blurted out, which caused dissatisfaction and anger among these subordinates who were born as mining slaves, and then thought of what the city had just shouted, saying that the Lou family's father and son treated them as inappropriate people, etc., these people immediately resonated.
Lou started his army and instantly grew to 10,000 people, in addition to his own influence and appeal, the joining of the rebels from all walks of life provided them with a steady stream of fresh blood.
But this joining does not mean that the Lou family father and son have unparalleled control over the following, in other words, they got up in a hurry, the team was mixed, and everyone was for someone to bring them together to fight together and gather together safely, but there were many people who were not yet completely convinced!
If you follow the situation, this kind of loose joining is easy to crack or even break in adversity.
Hearing these people say that they would not do it, Lou Shifan was furious and felt that he was slapping himself in the face. He brushed the ground and drew a knife in his hand: "Do you dare to abandon before the battle?" Come, come, ask me if I agree with this knife! ”
The faces of those people also changed, and they all knew that this flower arm was powerful and not easy to mess with, but when it came to this, they couldn't take it back, so they had to draw knives in their hands together for self-protection.
A few henchmen were so frightened that they persuaded them again and again, saying that a big war is imminent, and you should not be rash.
Seeing that a bloody battle was about to break out, suddenly the wall was in chaos. Someone ran over: "Report, third young marshal, the enemy army outside has brought two Huang Chengcheng general's bronze guns in a carriage, and it looks like they are going to shoot at the gate!" ”
Before he finished speaking, there were two loud bangs, and then dust and wood chips scattered, mixed with someone's crying and howling. Suddenly, a voice shouted: "Break the door, the officers and soldiers are in!" ”
Lou Shifan got up from the ground in embarrassment, and saw a large group of enemy soldiers rushing in with red-edged battle flags. "Block, plug it!" Several people shouted.
A henchman hurriedly pulled him: "Third young marshal, quickly retreat to the second gate!" ”
Lou Shifan looked blankly at the more and more enemy troops on the other side of the gate, and heard the sound of "ping-pong" fire, and suddenly a stray bullet flew past his forehead, and the blood immediately flowed down and covered the corner of his eye.
This frightened him had to pull out his feet and run to the second door. Before he arrived at the door, a group of people came to him, Lou Shifan looked at it, overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "Trial hero, save me!" ”
"Don't panic, the third young marshal, I'll come!" After Xianjie finished speaking, he stepped forward, and suddenly a palm knife struck Lou Shifan at the neck and shoulder.
This flower arm accepted himself and thought that he was as admired as others, so he trusted him very much and entrusted him with the position of deputy of the pro-soldier team, so he was not wary of him, and after being suddenly attacked, his black body fell softly in front of him.
Zhen Jie drew a knife and cut down the henchman who was stunned behind him, and shouted: "Hold the second gate, drag the flower arm in and tie it up!" After speaking, he stepped forward and fought with several pro-soldiers who wanted to rob people.
Someone behind him made a rope net to wrap Lou Shifan, and dragged him into the door.
Immediately afterwards, a group practice in green clothes poured out from the second gate, and four or five golden flower arrays were formed in an instant to guard the threshold.
The entire Tujia courtyard was filled with a sound of killing, and the courtyard wall that was originally rammed into a zhang high has now become a pigsty, surrounding the rebels who are scurrying around and cannot escape.
More and more people fell to their knees and shouted: "Descend, descend, let's descend and don't kill!" ”
Some people died, but not completely......
