Chapter 5: The Tartar Siege
"I said Xiao Xiao Daxian..."Liang Yu turned around and said, "Could it be... You, like that Zheng Lianshou, covet me?"
Hu Xiaoxiao suddenly became angry when he heard this: "Phew, what do I covet from you?!If I want to harm you, why don't I do it while you are asleep last night?!"
Liang Yu deliberately folded his arms and nodded, "That's right... You're just a six or seven-year-old girl... What can you covet from me?"
Hu Xiaoxiao's face swelled red and said: "I was rescued by you from the Immortal Rite yesterday, I just want to repay you, since you said so, then I'm leaving!"
"Hey?... Okay, okay!" Liang Yu saw that her angry appearance became more and more cute, and then think about it, what she said also made sense, if she had bad intentions, with her strength to fight with Duanmu, let alone falling asleep, even when she was almost paralyzed last night, she should have been poisoned.
Liang Yu pushed the door open with one hand, pulled Hu Xiaoxiao's ill-fitting clothes with the other, and said with a smile: "I believe in you! Let's go, eat together, don't be angry, cousin~"
"Get out!" Hu Xiaoxiao pouted and slapped Liang Yu's hand hard.
When Liang Yu came out of the room, he met three candidates with the same scholarly appearance at the door, and when they saw Liang Yu, they all saluted and said, "Brother Liang get up early!
"Haha, go together, go together!" Liang Yu eliminated the mustard for Hu Xiaoxiao, and his heart was relieved, so when he responded to the three of them, he pretended to be familiar with each other, and he looked like he was interested, while Hu Xiaoxiao still followed behind with a pout, and whispered angrily: "Jiuyang Jade Seal will actually recognize you as the master... How could this be his reincarnation? I'm going to see where you come from!"
In the lobby on the first floor of the inn, there were several tables of people sitting at this time, and it seemed that they were all here to catch the exam, and Liang Yu and the three people also quickly started talking after they sat down.
Liang Yu quickly heard from the words of the three of them that he and they were not only fellow villagers, but also children who had passed the county examination and the government examination all the way out, which could basically be regarded as the friendship of classmates, and one of them also asked Liang Yu about the business of selling trinkets on weekdays, which also made Liang Yu understand the origin of his pocket of small objects.
Liang Yu listened a lot and talked little, and also used the multi-dimensional communication skills of modern people, so that he did not show any horses during the whole breakfast process.
A lively breakfast of friendship soon came to an end, just as all the candidates were about to leave the inn, there was a sudden chaos outside the door, and the vendors who had just come out of the stall immediately ran up on the street as if they were running for their lives, and the candidates did not understand what was going on, only to hear someone shouting on the street: "The Tartars are attacking the city! Nurhachi is coming!!"
This sound stunned everyone in the inn, judging from the panicked scene of chickens and dogs jumping outside the door, everyone knew how urgent the situation was at this time, and the innkeeper saw this and hurriedly took some money from the account room as quickly as possible, and shouted at the same time: "The Tartars are coming!
The inn was in chaos in an instant, with the sound of tables and chairs colliding everywhere and the exclamations of the candidates, but Liang Yu and Hu Xiaoxiao were still unmoved, and they looked a little out of place. Hu Xiaoxiao sat down on the table, swayed his two calves, and asked Liang Yu, "Hey, who is Nurhachi?
Liang Yu asked rhetorically, "You don't even know Nurhachi?"
"Hey! Ben Daxian has been locked up in the Immortal Rite for a thousand years, so naturally he doesn't know some little people!"
"Brother Liang, don't run yet, if you are caught by that Tartar soldier, you will definitely die!" one of Liang Yu's classmates kindly reminded him, and then turned around and ran out of the inn with the other two.
Liang Yu naturally knew that the Emperor Nurhachi, the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, had led the Houjin army to attack the history of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty at that time from top to bottom called these Houjin soldiers Tartar soldiers, but he really didn't have the heart to explain these to Hu Xiaoxiao at this time, he only said: "In short, if this will be caught by Nurhachi, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat!"
"Oh well... Anyway, I'll go where you go!" Hu Xiaoxiao said, turning into a red light again, and got into the fox sign that Liang Yu hung on his waist.
The city of Fushun instantly became depressed, most of the people in the city were closed, and the outside of the city was filled with the sound of earth-shattering cannons and shouts of killing!
These candidates, who had just run out of the inn, were so frightened that they hid like headless flies, panicked, and a few of them had good feet and hoped to run out of the city gate, but as soon as they ran to the city gate, they were injured and stoned to death by stray arrows and flying stones that swept through the city gate!
"Liang Yu!" shouted a pockmarked-faced candidate hiding in an inconspicuous alley.
Liang Yu followed the prestige and recognized that the pock-faced candidate was the classmate who had eaten with him just now, so he quickly ran into the alley, only to see that the three of them were really together just now, he stabilized his mind and asked, "Everyone, do you have a place to stay?"
Mazi said with a face: "I heard that Li Yongfang, the guerrilla general of Fushun City, secretly colluded with the Tartars and had plans to surrender and sacrifice the city, but for some reason, today there was a fight again, and Fushun is estimated to be unable to keep it, so we might as well go out of the city!"
"I can run all the way down this alley to the base of the city wall, and I know there's a dog hole that leads straight out of the city!" said a five-short-sized candidate.
These words are like a life-saving straw, but Liang Yu and they don't dare to run around for the time being, after all, the entire Fushun City is already in a state of war, and the streets are full of officers and soldiers defending the city who are sending reinforcements from all sides.
The four of them didn't know how long they waited in the alley, until there were obviously fewer officers and soldiers running around the city, and the shouting and killing outside the city gradually became quieter, Liang Yu finally gave an order: "Go!"
Led by the candidates with five short statures, they immediately ran wildly, and after some passage through the streets and alleys, they saw a dog hole under the base of a city wall, but just as they were about to drill, a team of government officials rushed out of nowhere.
The leading official reprimanded: "No wonder it is said that it is useless to be a scholar! At the moment when such a great enemy is present, as long as you scholars can survive, you are willing to drill into the dog hole!"
First, he watched the other candidates being stoned to death by flying stones, and then he was caught and reprimanded by this fierce and vicious servant, Liang Yu's three classmates were already frightened to tears, and said cowardly with a pockmarked face: "I... We can't do anything..."
"Give them to them!" said the official with his head behind him, "The king has sacrificed his life for the country, if you are still a dignified man, you will go with me to defend the city with weapons!"
The three candidates trembled and held the heavy spear, but it was Liang Yu, as an outstanding young man in the twenty-first century, at this time he was tougher than those sour and weak scholars, he took the spear, although he was also very nervous, but his brows were tightly locked, his waist was straight, at least he had some manly spirit!
As if they were being escorted, the scholars hurried to the north of the city with this group of officials and climbed the city wall. At this time, the Houjin soldiers rushed to the city wall, looking at the small group of people and horses who rushed to reinforce them, they were actually government officials, and there were four frightened scholars in the middle, these Houjin soldiers laughed and rushed up murderously!
Most of the officials of the government usually only rely on their own identities to oppress the people, or stand on the public court, and their combat effectiveness is not the same level as the soldiers on the battlefield, so the two sides only looked at each other, and five officials and two scholars fell, and more Jin soldiers have climbed the city wall one after another by means of the ladder at this time...
"Kill me!" shouted the head of the official squad with red eyes, but before he and his brothers could strike again, they were surrounded by a group, and he himself was pierced by two spears in the ribs!
Seeing this, Liang Yu and the surviving pockmarked face could only follow the remaining few servants, immediately threw their weapons, and were escorted down the city wall by the Houjin soldiers, and when they came to the main street in the city, the mighty Houjin army had already entered the city.
"What should I do?" Liang Yu asked quietly to the willow wood sign on his waist.
Hu Xiaoxiao said: "My current cultivation can't turn the tide, they are too many to force, you can't take it by force, you can be wronged for a while..."
Although these Houjin soldiers looked strange in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, they all exuded heroic spirit. Under the command of several generals on war horses, the Houjin soldiers drove the people from their homes to the streets from house to house, and the occasional rebellious civilians and Ming deserters were directly executed by them.
Liang Yu and his classmates were mixed into a group of people, and it didn't take long for their group to be driven by the Jin soldiers and walked out of the city.
Seeing that he was about to walk to the city gate, Hu Xiaoxiao suddenly whispered: "I'm coming out, follow me carefully!"
As soon as Liang Yu heard this, he immediately raised his heart to his throat, and then, without waiting for him to answer, after a breath, he saw a red light suddenly burst out from his waist, and before Hu Xiaoxiao landed, he directly kicked down the two Houjin soldiers in mid-air!
This raid immediately caused a commotion in the team on Liang Yu's side, and the remaining dozen or so Houjin soldiers immediately drew their knives to cut Hu Xiaoxiao, and although this little girl's cultivation was greatly damaged, a few ordinary people still couldn't stop her, and in the blink of an eye, those Houjin soldiers all fell to the ground with a hum.
After Hu Xiaoxiao succeeded, he quickly cut the ropes on the people's bodies with the knife he snatched, and pulled Liang Yu to break into the city gate, but before he could run a few steps, Liang Yu heard a sudden explosion above his head, and then looked at Hu Xiaoxiao's little brain, which had been pressed to the ground by a big hand!
"Where did the little demon come from, who dared to rob my Dajin's slave?!" A strong man with feathers on his head and oil paint on his face was examining the fox-eared girl whose headscarf had been knocked off.
Hu Xiaoxiao was still struggling, and then Jin Zhuanghan sneered: "You little demon simply doesn't know whether to live or die, you have been cultivating for a few years and then come out to make trouble, look at me and twist your head off!"
"Let go of her!" Liang Yu didn't know where he got the courage, and shouted as he picked up a machete on the ground.
Houjin Zhuanghan glanced at Liang Yu contemptuously: "You also want to come out?"
"Nima's!" Liang Yuda has a modern temper that is not obedient, and he scolds and slashes with a knife, but he is too naïve, the other party can restrain Hu Xiaoxiao's role at once, how can he see his reckless knife, without waiting for Liang Yu to get close, the half-squatting strong man picked up a knife by his side and threw it over.
"Zheng!"
The machete in Liang Yu's hand broke in response, and his right hand was also shocked to a burst of soreness, and even the remaining half of the machete was immediately taken off!
The strong man grabbed Hu Xiaoxiao's head, hung her up, and said with a cruel smile: "It's a delicate little demon, it's not bad to serve this seat after you grow up!
The sound here has already attracted support from other places, and after listening to the strong man's order, the Jin soldiers who came later immediately rushed up, and just when everyone expected that this little storm was about to settle, among the four people who rounded up Liang Yu, there was a sudden scream, and the face of the Houjin soldier who was standing opposite Liang Yu had been twisted to the back of his body!
Seeing that his companion's neck was suddenly broken, the remaining three immediately drew their knives and retreated, and when the strong man who was hanging Hu Xiaoxiao heard the sound and looked, the scholar who had just been regarded as a waste by himself was shining red in his eyes, and walked towards him with a black body...
