Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 167 The enemy chief has lost his heart
However, Cao Manjiu soon regretted it, and Shi's subordinates would always be grateful for his indecision.
As soon as the team approached the gate of Nanguan, two loud explosions came from inside, which frightened Shi Dajun's team to stand still.
Then the gong sounded, and they saw from a distance that the torches on the arrow tower were bright, and a group of officers and soldiers and the green shirt team appeared, some people shouted, and Shi Dajun saw many ropes thrown out of the grass outside the city on both sides, and some people climbed up the battlements with weapons in their hands.
No wonder this wall was not raised, it was originally used for this purpose!
"Captain, let's rush over and kill them, or the people in the city will be surrounded!" It was suggested.
"Shut up and stand back!" Shi Dajun was furious: "Brainless, are you only dealing with people in the city?"
Everyone is still stunned. I saw a firework "squeak" into the air, and then a sharp whistle sounded everywhere, and the ambush stood out. A group of centaurs was originally in the woods on the flank, and the banner was marked "Southern Metropolitan Patrol Lee".
Li Dan was illuminated by two torches, and he looked particularly tall on the horse. "There are people who come here and refuse to move forward, and it is a big fate! The thief who led the team came up with his name and let him know who you are?"
"A piece of stone, the stone army is also!"
"Oh?" Li Dan looked at the other party in surprise: "I thought you were a rough person, but you didn't want to, but you were still coarse and fine. In that case, why don't you lower me Li Sanlang?"
"Are you Li Sanlang?" Shi Dajun was also surprised, looked up and down, and snorted unconvinced: "If you want to accept me, I'm afraid it's not easy, you need to win my iron whip first!" Then he came forward.
Li Dan tilted his head to take a look, and saw that his pair of iron whips were twisted together like three strands of iron tendons in the firelight, and it looked like it was made with kung fu, and the user must have the strength.
He nodded and said, "If I defeat you on the horse, I am afraid that I will say something that I will not be convinced of." Well, let's all go to our subordinates, and we will never deceive you!" As he spoke, he jumped off his horse and walked forward with an iron rod in his hand.
Seeing that he was approaching, Shi Dajun stomped "hey" under his feet, and slammed down left and right successively. Li Dan gently pulled out his left whip with his iron head, took half a step back, and suddenly raised the tail of the stick and pointed directly at the forearm of his right hand.
Shi Dajun was taken aback, the handle was held outward, he hid and rotated his waist, and the whip with his left hand struck Li Dan's calf, but he blocked it with a stick. The two of them have been back and forth for more than a dozen rounds, but only half of the weapons have collided.
Li Dan was secretly surprised, he didn't expect that there would be such a figure with arm strength and martial arts in the thief army.
Shi Dajun also wondered, he felt that although this Li Sanlang was taller, he didn't have a full beard, and he was clearly still a teenager, and he didn't know how to practice strength and martial arts, which were not inferior to himself.
Distracted, Shi Dajun was forced by Li Dan to take a few steps back. He was in a hurry, and saw the opportunity to smash the double whip with all his might, Li Dan swung the stick to meet each other, only to hear the "click" sound, and the stick was broken.
Ishibbe immediately applauded. Li Dan suddenly found that he was standing on a high place at this time, and the terrain was superior to the other party, so he quickly changed his moves.
He danced the two sticks, like a whip, a stick and a knife, and pointed at the opponent's joints and pain points.
Shi Dajun was stunned twice and screamed in pain, and was hit by Li Dan at the dantian with a stick, and the whole person flew up, "plopping" and fell into the pond behind him.
"Save the captain!" Someone shouted, and the soldiers on the other side rushed up to block Li Dan.
At this time, the shouts from the rear came, and there were soldiers and horses to kill, but it was Song Xiaoniu who saw the fire from a distance at the foot of the mountain, and the sound of Nanguan shouting and killing and bursting was endless, and he was unbearable, so he brought people to support.
Shi Da's army headquarters was flanked in front and back, and the leader did not know where to go, and soon fell into chaos.
When Dong Houyong and Gu Da led people to kill them at Nanguan, this army collapsed, and even the 500 people of Cao Manjiu's department who were sent to reinforce were also in chaos.
At this time, Jiao Conghu and Douzi Wan (Wan Siyou) who came down from Mian Mountain were also killed, and the overall situation was decided.
Li Dan saw that Jiao Conghu's body was half stained with blood, and asked with a smile, "Old Jiao, are you okay?"
Jiao Baihu laughed: "I haven't fought in a few years, it's happy!"
"Who are you?
Have you seen the enemy chieftain Mao Taigong?"
Jiao Conghu pointed at his horse: "The head has been awarded! That guy was about to come here, but I didn't expect my department to arrive, and I lost the basis before and after. Hehe, Xie Leopard is gathering his men, and the three bridges are all fine, rest assured!"
"My lord has made meritorious contributions, this is the big boss of the seven villages in Dushan, a well-known and well-known Qu Shuai. Congratulations, little brother!"
Li Dan grinned, and took advantage of Jiao Conghu's heart to come closer and whispered:
"Big brother still has to work hard, the thief has a camp in Ziyang Bridge, and the baggage and goods of this wine trough and Mao Taigong are all left there. The brothers of Mianshan can share it themselves, and they don't need to go through me."
Jiao Conghu was overjoyed when he heard this, and knew that Li Dan was giving favors, so he arched his hand and said, "Thank you for being a brother!" After speaking, he hurriedly beckoned the headquarters and Wansi to have two people and horses towards the Ziyang Bridge.
Li Dan knew that he would not treat Wan Siyou and Xie Baozi's brothers badly, and as soon as he walked away under the banner of the official army, the enemy sentinel knew that the battle of the South Gate must have been lost, and the heart of the Tatehuazi army would be shaken immediately.
"Where's that rock? Get him out of here!" Li Dan urged.
However, he immediately heard Song Xiaoniu come over and report two news to him: the enemy owner was not in this group, and some people said that they saw hundreds of people running west!
"Hey! How can I let him run!" Gu Da jumped up, he just said that he hadn't fought enough, there was an enemy fleeing at this time, so could he not chase him?
"You can still run? Why don't you change to Thin King Kong or Yang Yi?" Li Dan teased him.
"Skinny King Kong slashed a lieutenant in front of me, I have to cut a general to earn this face back!"
It turned out that Gu Da was jealous of Zhang Cymbals, so he threw all the prisoners to him, and he and Dong Hou used Nanguan to encircle and annihilate the enemy's rear team.
"As for Yang Yi, won't he follow you to participate in the pursuit later? He can't go!" Li Dan and the others all laughed.
So Dong Hou was left to guard the South Gate and South Pass, and Li Dan took Gu Da and Song Xiaoniu to chase down the enemy who fled west. ap.
"Why do you want to flee there when there is a lot of water in the west? There's something strange going on here!" Song Xiaoniu has been in charge for a month alone, and he also knows how to use his brains.
"It's weird!" Li Dan nodded: "Anyway, it's hard for them to escape anyway. The black fish in the west should have kept men, if they want to escape from the river, it will not be so easy!"
Li Dan told everyone, and then ordered the two hundred Xiangyong in the water gate to come to Nanguan to detain the prisoners, and let Zhang Bo go out of the pass and search for the remnants of the enemy in this area with Xie Baozi.
"Let's go, go and chase this group back." Li Dan rode on Zaoliu'er and said, "No matter what, if you come to Yugan, you can't let them get away easily.
Fight with one punch, lest a hundred punches come. Let's work hard today to establish this prestige for our children and grandchildren and for Yu Gan!"
Outside the Yufeng Gate (East Gate), Tatehuazi waited for the news of the South Gate in a hurry, so he ordered his subordinates to climb the big tree to inspect. First I heard that there was a fire in the city, and then I heard the roar of the explosion at the south gate.
Everyone was overjoyed and came together to congratulate, saying that it seemed easy to take down the rest of the gan now. Although the words sound useful, after all, the fart is not top.
When the movement in the south gradually subsided, everyone's faces were ugly. At this time, although Tatehanko didn't get any military reports from the wine trough, she also began to feel bad.
His face was gloomy and depressed, and he really couldn't think of how his good plan could go wrong. Seeing that a glimmer of morning light began to appear in the east, he knew he couldn't wait any longer.
As soon as I got up, I saw someone come to report, saying that a team of nearly 1,000 people went to Ziyang Bridge, under the banner of the official army!
"It's over!" Somebody's muttering, Tatehana turned around and glared at him fiercely, though he couldn't figure out who said it.
Cai Shuangwu waved his hand to let everyone retreat first, and walked to Tatehuazi's side without saying a word.
"Let's go, let's go. Go to Heron Harbor and go back to Lion Rock!" Tatehana ordered softly.
"...... over there?"
"Send someone to tell him to hurry up and follow." Tatehanako sighed secretly in her heart, trying to keep her tone as calm as possible: "We still have three thousand teams in our hands
, enough to make a comeback. If these people can't be saved, then it's really ......."
"Understood, my subordinates will give orders." Cai Shuangwu frowned slightly, turned around and left, and was stopped again.
"Fifth brother," Tatehanako called him by his nickname, "Our two families have been friends for two lifetimes, how can they be compared to others?"
"I don't need to be reminded by the governor, my nephew can save it. In this way, the Metropolitan Governor left first, and the nephew and Gao Cang broke off. Let's go slowly, pretend to go back to Yuting Town to rest, and when we enter the town, we immediately pack up and cross ......the river."
"No, just grab what you have at hand, and retreat immediately if you don't stop!" Kako interrupted him.
"But ......, most of the boats have been taken away by Captain Tao, and with the remaining seven or eight boats to ferry people, I'm afraid the speed will be very slow."
"It doesn't matter, you can cross as much as you want!" Speaking of which, Kako suddenly remembered:
"Aren't there still some people in Leijiawan? Send someone to contact and answer, and then Gao Cang can cross the river through Daijiabu, and then turn to Wuni Town after meeting with the people left here by Mao Taigong.
Send people to the south to look for them, see if there are any of us left, and let them all go to Daijiabu!"
Cai Shuangwu felt a burst of disgust in his heart, it seemed that Tatehuazi had lost his fighting spirit, and he didn't even have hope that there were still people in the south who didn't have him.
What's more, he asked Gao Cang and the others to take the northern route back to Wuni Town, which was a bit of a bait to attract their opponents, which made Cai Shuangwu very unhappy.
It's true that he has an elder relationship with Tatehuazi, but they are also friends with Gao Cang and Shi Dajun, and even Shi Dajun is a playmate in his childhood.
This knotweed flower seed just left everyone to run for their lives, Cai Shuangwu felt very unhappy.
The most inexplicable and annoyed is Gao Cang, who attracts opponents under the city, and he is tired all night without saying anything, why is the movement in the south getting smaller and smaller?
When the people he sent to ask for instructions from Tatehuako returned, they learned that the troops at the east gate had withdrawn, and the governor of Dadu told him to break off the retreat and retreat towards Daijiabu.
What nonsense is this! Rao is good-tempered Gao Cang couldn't hold back anymore and kicked over Maza.
"Damn, is this a joke with Lao Tzu? We made a feint here, and we were tired and busy, and as a result, he withdrew the ladder!" He was furious with his henchmen.
The henchman's name was Regison, and he was a bankrupt businessman. Seeing that he was in a hurry, he hurriedly persuaded him, and while asking his soldiers to drive everyone away so that everyone would not hear it, he thought of ideas with his beard.
"Don't worry, captain, I'm afraid you still have to withdraw, otherwise...... Can't you really be cut off to survive?"
Lei Jisheng had the status of a military advisor in the Gao Cang Army, equivalent to the chief of logistics and staff. His words still had some weight, Gao Cang endured it and stopped beside him, leaned over and said in a low voice:
"Now that we're the ones left behind, how can we get so close to the wall? As soon as you move, people will understand, and in the blink of an eye, Yufengmen will come out to pursue the centaurs, do you believe it or not?"
"I believe it." Reggie smiled bitterly, "If the south really loses, we will have to face the victorious army of the remaining cadres. And you said that if you move, people will know that we want to run, and I think people will know if you don't move!
It's not easy for us to run now, and it's not easy to run now. Alas, how could this battle be fought like this? I think in the final analysis, it's the result of Tatehanako's great ambition and talent! You can talk a lot of, but you can't win a battle!"
The two of them were frustrated, and they hadn't figured out how to retreat. Suddenly, he heard the sound of the horn in the city, and hurriedly called someone to ask what was going on.
Someone went to see it and ran back, saying that a team had come out of the city and was in formation. Gao Cang was taken aback, thinking that the defenders were going to start a counterattack, so he hurriedly brought an iron helmet out to take a look.
The team that came out of Yufengmen was about 500 people, and the two flags were written with the words "Zhao" and "Yang" respectively, but they were Zhao Jingzi and Yang Yi, and there was a horse next to them, on which sat Tu Shan, who had been captured and surrendered a few days ago.
"Can you really convince him to surrender?" Yang Yi was a little skeptical.
"Anyway, Brother Tu is confident, right?" Zhao Jingzi looked at Tu Shan with a grin.
"Try your best." Tu Shan hugged his fists and said, "This Gao Cang is actually not bad, righteous and trustworthy. He just took the position of head of the house
The stock has not yet sat firmly, and under the coercion of Tatehanako's troops, he can't be disobedient, so he took over the captain.
In peacetime, the military council rarely speaks, and he does whatever he is told to do. We all jokingly called him 'tall wood, and he didn't get annoyed when he heard it.'"
"Well, that means he shouldn't have any loyalty to Tatehanako. What does he like, and what hobbies does he have?"
The team formed up and began to move towards Gao Cang, and Yang Yi asked again, "For example, money, women, delicious food, and even power, what kind of preferences does he have?"
"This...... I can't really think of it." Tu Shan patted the back of his neck in embarrassment:
"I know he collects swords, but you also know how many good weapons you can find in the lake? Occasionally, there is someone who can be seen, and it is said that he paid a high price to find someone to exchange, and there was a conflict over this over the wine tank.
But he was a general, so he had no choice but to give up the knife he got to the wine trough again, and it was said that he also apologized to him, and it cost a full hundred taels more!"
"Oh?" Zhao Jingzi and Yang Yi glanced at each other and said, "He is a tolerant person, and he is afraid that he will not be good if he is left to others."
As he spoke, the team was already very close. Over there, Gao Cang also gathered 500 people to form a formation to meet him, and for a while, the two armies on the outside of the northeast wall were separated by a distance of 100 steps, facing each other and staring at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"I'm over!" Tu Shan looked at the two of them, and when he saw the two of them nodding, he kicked his horse forward, and the two pro-soldiers behind him ran to follow.
When passing by Zhao and Yang, Zhou Tu, who was wearing an ordinary green shirt uniform, turned around and smiled at the two.
Gao Cang seemed stunned when he saw the other party coming, and explained to Lei Jisheng, and then also rode a horse and led two personal soldiers forward, stood up to him, and bowed his hand on the horse: "Brother Tu, I haven't seen you for a few days, don't come to harm?"
