Chapter 32: The City Breaks
The only good news is that although there are rumors everywhere at this time, I have heard seven or eight versions of the East China Sea Alliance Army from the mouth of this old man, but none of them can stand up to scrutiny, and I heard a very important news from the mouth of another Zhuang Ke, that is, among the thieves who attacked the county seat of Shangqiang County this time, there was a very fierce one-eyed dragon in it, holding a double knife, and he liked to stack people's corpses the most, and then cut down with a knife, indicating his martial bravery.
The characteristics of this person are obvious: a one-eyed dragon, two knives, and his behavior and habits are so peculiar: stacking corpses and cutting off.
So as soon as he heard it, he was able to take a seat, and immediately whispered to Lin Fengjin:
"Congratulations to Childe! Shangqiang County looks like it's just a false alarm. β
Lin Fengjin's eyes flashed and said:
"Oh, tell me more about it?"
He Bodao:
"The person that the old man said just now is still quite famous, called the True Sword Tiger, but the descendant of the true sword flow of swordsmanship, this person is also a red flag book, known for his ferocity and quick knives, his school calls the corpse wearing armor the corpse, which is used to judge the strength, if you want to enter the basic condition of their true knife flow, it is to cut off the five armored corpses stacked together with a single sword!
"And this real sword tiger is said to have the power of seventeen corpses in the right hand, and the knife in the left hand is even stronger, and there have been twenty corpse carcass performances! However, because this man is short-tempered and ferocious, and is accustomed to disobedience, so many generals are reluctant to ask for him, and it seems that he is staying under the command of a general of Ashigaru nicknamed Mud Fish, because Mud Fish is a person who relies on nepotism to get to the top, and his character is timid and weak, so he can't convince the public, so he was ostracized by his colleagues, and threw the old, weak, sick or thorny people he didn't need under his command."
Speaking of this, Lin Fengjin already understood why he wanted to congratulate himself, one master can deal with ten well-trained soldiers. However, ten masters may not be able to eat a hundred well-trained soldiers, if the number is enlarged, a hundred masters against a thousand well-trained soldiers, it can be said that under normal circumstances, there will be no defeat!
A big factor in this is two words: discipline!
The mudfish army that came to attack Shangqiang County seemed to have such an elite as the real sword tiger, but the commander was weak, so it became a downward trend, and it was bound to be forbidden to be ordered, and the undisciplined army would have no combat power, and this army was either old, weak, sick or thorny. The strength of each other is uneven, and most of them can't talk about any cooperation, hey, such a mess of loose sand is fighting for power in the upper city, and the county town is surrounded by a city wall, and it is estimated that the chances of winning are a little greater.
At this time, Lin Fengjin took a reassuring pill, and his heart was not very anxious, so he went to sleep directly on the kang, and was woken up by his subordinates. When I opened my eyes, I found that the sky was already bright, and there was a very neat sound of horses' hooves outside, and it seemed that my men had been prepared.
After Lin Fengjin got up, he brought a bowl of water and rinsed his mouth with wicker. Then he asked vaguely:
"When did the rain stop?"
The Red Cavalry Guard, who was accompanying him, immediately said:
"There is no one in the countryside to watch, and judging from the condition of the road, it should be stopped when it is ugly. β
Lin Fengjin frowned slightly after hearing this, and the rain stopped early. It's a good thing and a bad thing, and the good thing is that the road is not too wet, and the people led by him can rush over as quickly as possible. But the downside is that if the rain doesn't penetrate the ground, there won't be much obstacle to the siege.
But at this time, he slipped over and said:
"Childe, according to the villain's opinion, it is not a bad thing that this county is attacked this time. β
Lin Fengjin's heart moved, and he suddenly figured out the key, in fact, he was just in the game for a while, and what he owed was just an opportunity to figure it out-
It is said that Lin Fengjin came to Shangqiang County this time, although he only came to taste the tea art of the son of the owner, but there is a big problem, so don't say that the Ji family is a big family that has been inherited for thousands of years, even if it is an ordinary gentleman's family, the difference between inside and outside is still very clear
Why can Lin Fengjin, a foreigner, want to see someone's wife (or probably a saint who is more expensive than his wife), and ask others to do their best to make the most professional job for Lin Fengjin to enjoy? (This sentence is estimated to cause ambiguity, but if you don't understand the correct meaning we want to express, you can ask me).
Of course, Lin Fengjin can come up with the name of Mr. Jiuyuan, but if you think about the situation carefully, Lu Jiuyuan was not famous at that time, that is, a poor boy Judging from the final ending of the two, the woman's parents must have been very dissatisfied with Lu Jiuyuan at that time.
Let's compare our hearts to hearts, if you are outside the season, and you meet a poor sour boy who actually wants a toad and wants to eat swan meat to hook up with his flowery daughter, what kind of impression can you have?
With this preconceived premise, Lin Fengjin felt that if he went to report the name of Lu Shi, it would have more negative effects.
The most terrible thing is that this layer of kinship is not only not used, but also has become Lin Fengjin's tight spell, if there is no such relationship at all, Lin Fengjin directly called Fu Daoist, and he will do everything to deceive and steal, it is difficult for the Ji family not to surrender, even if Fu Daoist is not there, isn't there a villain He Bo, he must be very good at this aspect at a glance.
It's just that now if Lin Fengjin uses these indiscriminate methods, there is an old servant of Mr. Jiuyuan next to him, and he will be happy when he goes back to the master and servant.
Lu: How did Lin Fengjin get his cousin to come out and make tea?
Servant: It didn't matter, I poured dung at my cousin's door for three days, broke the legs of twenty or thirty family members, and finally tied up your cousin and nephew, chopped off a finger and sent it over.
Lu (roaring): I'm going to kill this little bastard, expel me from the school, and break my legs!
Therefore, the attack on Shangqiang County gave Lin Feng an excuse to let the Ji family appreciate it.
There is a way on which misfortune and blessing depend, and this is how it came.
After having breakfast while talking, the people went on the road, which was only less than fifty miles away from the county seat. Even if you want to leave the horsepower and gallop a little leisurely along the way, it will take more than an hour to arrive, but when you gallop to the "receiving official pavilion" fifteen miles away from the county seat, you will see several puffs of black smoke rising from the northeast.
Lin Fengjin frowned, and when he saw the guide coming back from the front, he said with a somewhat nervous expression:
"Childe, the smoke happens to be the direction of the county seat of Shangqiang County. β
Lin Fengjin nodded and said:
"Got it, don't panic, this black smoke has obviously just risen. Even if the city is broken, it is just broken, among the mud fish army, there are only about 3,000 people in total, Shangqiang County is a big county, and there are more than a dozen big households that have taken refuge in the city, and it will take half a day for these big families to wash them over!"
Lin Fengjin's guard Hash also interjected:
"The other party's military discipline is already very lax, and as soon as the city is broken, it will inevitably disperse and wash the city. Crazy looting, the combat power is going to drop by three percent, we rush over at this time, it is the best time to cut in. β
Heard the words of Hash. Lin Fengjin nodded slightly and said:
"Yes, it seems that it has been useful lately, so you can go and tell everyone about the current situation. β
And Hash set his horse away.
Lin Li next to him was a little surprised, there was really no void under the fame of the secret road. It is not for nothing that Wu Zuocheng was able to stand tall under the onslaught of the East China Sea Alliance, and such a guard beside Lin Fengjin could say such a thing, which completely subverted Lin Li's impression of the "barbarian" of the grassland people.
At this time, I heard the sound of horses' hooves next to me. But they saw a few side guards rushing out, and after a while they heard the sound of bowstrings, but they saw the sound of the field next to them, and rode their horses to look, but it turned out to be a wild boar arching sweet potatoes in the ground, so they naturally shot to death and prepared to eat.
This is a hilly area, and from time to time there will be knights on the flanks in front of them galloping out, bending their bows and arrows, and then holding arrows without missing hair, which can shoot hares and pheasants, and laughing loudly, and from time to time taking out sheepskin wine bags and taking a sip, it looks as if they are going out on an outing.
He Bo next to him was also a little surprised, these people around Lin Fengjin knew that there were two or three thousand enemies in front of him, but there were only more than a hundred of them, and the big battle was coming, but they were so relaxed, it could be said that they didn't take the upcoming battle seriously at all!
Such people are not absent in the East China Sea Alliance, but according to what Tabo knows, only the kind of outlaws or madmen who don't take their lives seriously can do it, and that kind of person is often perverted or mentally abnormal at first glance, but these guards around Lin Fengjin are obviously very rational
However, for these red horsemen around Lin Fengjin, they really didn't take the two or three thousand people of the East China Sea Alliance Army in front of them in their eyes! When Wu Zuocheng was besieged by more than 100,000 troops that day, these elites of the Sanli Department had never been afraid, let alone now?
At this time, they drink alcohol to invigorate their blood, hunt to warm up, first move their muscles and bones, as for talking and laughing, it is not easy to disguise, such a small fight, not to mention the need to relax.
For the elite of these red horsemen, they once fiercely pursued enemies several times their size in the dark night with torches, they once took up their longbows at the head of the city and shot at the fierce monsters, they once rushed fearlessly on their horses to the perverted evil gods who came to the world, not to mention these warriors on the grassland, even a coward who was powerless after experiencing these things, he would inevitably become bold.
In fact, apart from Lin Fengjin's orders, there are very few things in this world that can affect these powerful knights who have been through a hundred battles!
Soon, the people led by Lin Fengjin encountered the fleeing residents, and it could be seen that these people were very open-minded, and they fled unprepared, most of them were empty-handed, and even many of them were gasping and vomiting next to them, which shows how hasty they escaped.
Lin Fengjin called several people to inquire, but they couldn't say any valuable information, only knowing that he was planning to make a fire too early (to have breakfast) just now, but he heard a series of shouts all over the city, saying that the city was broken, and then he ran to the street and was carried towards the city gate.
Of course, these people saw that Lin Feng was strong and strong, but they didn't look like the imperial court horses, if they were those barbarians in the East China Sea. The accent is not right, and he won't speak so kindly, so he dared to ask them where they came from.
Lin Fengjin also thought about it very clearly, so he said that he was a horse dealer and had a relationship with the Ji family, so he came to pay a visit, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of chaotic thing, and then called Uncle Liu to talk to them, although Uncle Liu hadn't seen the Ji family for decades, but the old lady of the Ji family could talk about it in his generation. When these people saw the eyes of the seabed, they were no longer suspicious.
Among these fleeing people, there was even a head catcher, with three servants in front of Lin Fengjin to take the big, in an official tone to forcibly seize the horse and flee for his life, when this kind of thing happened, Lin Fengjin would give him a good face, and ordered to be caught and beaten like a dead dog, and by the way, he also picked up his clothes and hung them on the tree, which was simply majestic.
Even Lin Fengjin, a person with more than a hundred strong men, dared to blackmail. It can be seen how evil his usual behavior is, he wantonly looted under the hands of Zhou Po in that county, and I don't know how many people were ruined, and I saw that he was cleaned up like this today. Nine out of ten onlookers were to applaud.
But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of screaming and shouting in front of me, and a large crowd of people were driven over like wolves, crying and screaming. It turned out that the East China Sea Coalition had long expected that a large number of refugees would leave the city, so they reluctantly cobbled together a "cavalry" from their looted livestock, with a total of six or seven hundred people. Then divide into three ways to intercept and loot these fleeing people.
At this time, these refugees around Lin Fengjin saw this, they all cried one after another, many of them did not eat breakfast, and they fled here in a panic, and when they rested, they suddenly felt that their hands and feet were sore, and they couldn't even escape, and they were about to be slaughtered like pigs and sheep, how not to be sad?
Lin Fengjin squinted at these "chasing soldiers", and immediately sighed, and the Hash and several knights next to him had already laughed out loud, full of contempt and disdain, it turned out that when he got closer for a while, the "cavalry" of the East China Sea Alliance Army was just hundreds of people in front of him who had horses to ride, and the plain of these horses was still uneven, and even the old horses that were pulled into battle were forcibly pulled into battle.
Don't dislike the old horse, in fact, these cavalrymen have a status when they ride horses, and those who follow behind are even more miserable, some riding donkeys, some riding mules, and even riding bulls! Is this his mother playing a shepherd boy?
Seeing that such an enemy was rampaging and acting recklessly, and the thousands of refugees who fled from the city were screaming and crying, and let the mermaids slaughter them, none of them came out to resist, Hash and the others all showed contempt on their faces, and they all looked at Lin Fengjin eager to try.
Lin Fengjin glanced at the battlefield and smiled:
"Looks like your hands are itching?"
Hash immediately said loudly:
"Childe, just give me thirty people, I'll go and pick them up. β
Generally, after killing livestock on the grassland, the words "picking" are used for dissecting and cleaning, which shows the status of these cavalry of the East China Sea Alliance Army in the hearts of these guards around Lin Fengjin.
As soon as he heard Hash's words, Chahe next to him immediately said loudly:
"Childe, I only need ten people!"
These two people have not yet distinguished the winner or loser, but there is already a roar of horses' hooves in the oblique thorns, there is already someone riding alone, riding a horse galloping out, this person's crotch is a big black horse, the coat is oily and smooth, and there is no variegation at all, the horses ridden by the red horses under the command of Lin Fengjin are needless to say, they are all horses that are one in a thousand, and the big black horse under this person's crotch is a head higher than their horses, which shows its tall and strong Cheng dΓΉ!
The rider on the horse was not too tall, with a full beard, but his shoulders and back were very broad, and when he stood on the ground, his thick hands drooped naturally like a gibbon, and at first glance, it seemed as if a wall was standing in front of people, and there was an invisible majesty rushing to his face, and he was not angry.
This person is new to Lin Fengjin, his name is Chi Bixiong, and he is Chi Bi Li's cousin. When the Sanli Department moved eastward, Chi Bixiong was a member of the Dali Department, and stayed on the grassland with his parents, and now the Wu Zuocheng caravan expanded everywhere, and even the tentacles gradually spread to the grassland where they used to live.
Although Chi Bixiong has a big beard on his face and the wind and frost on the grassland, he looks like he is thirty or forty years old, but in fact he is only in his twenties.
As a result, as soon as Chi Bixiong came, he encountered the East China Sea Alliance's conquest of Wu Zuocheng, this guy who seemed to be born as a shooter, immediately glowed with amazing light, according to statistics, he shot more than 300 people under his hands, you know, Chi Bixiong was seriously injured in the battle when the god of Wojin descended on the doppelganger, and the battles since then are all recuperating from injuries!
If it weren't for the real material, otherwise, it would be difficult for him as a newcomer to enter the Red Cavalry, let alone come to Lin Fengjin to be a personal guard!
At this time, Chi Bixiong galloped out, and he was already aiming at the cavalry of the East China Sea Alliance on the opposite side and rushed straight over, and the refugees next to him all looked at him in disbelief, thinking that this person was suffering from madness and wanted to commit suicide?
And the horses under Chibixiong's crotch are even more than a quarter of the monster blood, over the mountains and mountains like walking on the ground, galloping in this field without any influence, in the blink of an eye rushed to within a hundred zhang of the East China Sea Alliance, and then it was a ninety-degree right-angle turn, began to bend the bow and arrows!
Although this person is rough, but when he shoots arrows, he gives people an indescribable pleasing beauty, when he draws arrows, he pulls out seven or eight arrows in one hand, and with a pinch of his fingers, the arrow cluster spreads out in a fan-shape, and it seems that a touch of it is dazzling to shoot these arrows out in one breath!
Suddenly, the cavalry of the East China Sea Coalition Army, which was charging in front and slaughtering and infringing on the people, all fell off their horses one after another, and the three people closest to Chi Bixiong all had a trembling sharp arrow in the center of their eyebrows, and they fell to the ground and died! In addition, some of the people who fell off their horses were shot by arrows in their arms and some were shot in their chests, but none of them missed.
Lin Fengjin can see clearly, Chi Bixiong can only bow and two arrows at most, but he is talented and has an amazing hand speed, in fact, the order in which the arrows fly out is still first and last, just because the rate of fire is too fast, so it seems that such a strange scene has been formed.
After Chi Bixiong rode alone from the front of the enemy's cavalry group, there were already a dozen people who fell off their horses and were killed and wounded, but at this time, the cavalry of the East China Sea Coalition Army had completely dispersed, and they were wantonly chasing and killing the people.
However, as mentioned earlier, this is the army of the general of the mudfish, and it is characterized by lax discipline, ignoring military orders is their characteristic, and being a mass of loose sand is their characteristic, and it is already the limit to be able to call these people to pursue the refugees, and it is almost impossible to expect them to order and prohibit them.
There is a saying that "the rafters that come out rot first", and Chi Bixiong, as a person with very quick ears and eyes, of course heard the shouting of the general, and knew that this guy was trying to call someone to kill him. So he immediately decided to strike first and kill this guy first.
With a knock on the horse's belly with both feet, he had already come back in a circle from a distance, and then he bent his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow. (To be continued......)
