Chapter 497, it's just death
Xiao An, the warden of Songshan County, never expected that his trusted Gong Cao Long Shiyuan and the chief bookkeeper Sun Chengliang were reversed, and they panicked. There are 8,000 garrisons in Songshan County, and 5,000 soldiers and horses are controlled by Xiao An's descendants, Gong Cao Long Shiyuan and the chief bookkeeper Sun Chengliang are quite relied on by Xiao An, so tonight he asked Long Shiyuan to lead troops to protect the county guard yamen, and let Sun Chengliang lead people to guard the granary to prevent the enemy from setting fire, but he didn't expect these two people to rebel.
Xiao An's behavior was at a loss and his heart was like numbness, 5,000 soldiers and horses, more than 1,000 people were sent to attack the Wuquan Hou Mansion, preparing to capture the princess of the plain alive, and more than 1,000 people guarded the four gates of the city, he himself brought 2,000 people to the Happy Building to rescue his son, of course, more importantly, he wanted to use himself as bait to fish out Wuquan Hou Yin Zhishan. The rest of the men and horses are responsible for guarding the county's yamen, granaries, weapons depots and other key departments.
Now, in order to recapture the county guard yamen, he has transferred all the men and horses guarding the granary and the weapons depot back to relieve the siege, how can he have extra troops to reinforce the soldiers and horses besieging the Wuquan Marquis Mansion? Can he still transfer some of the 2,000 soldiers and horses that have been seriously wounded at hand? Xiao An had no choice but to order his subordinates to take down Sikong Jing and the others as soon as possible, and then turn back to rescue the other two places.
He was not very relieved about the 3,000 non-descendant soldiers and horses in his county, so he rushed to transfer 1,500 of them into the city before dark, and also sent Chen Bo, the captain of Zhaowu in Songshan County, and Xing Qing, the captain of the training school, to their garrison camps.
Xiao An never expected that the 1,500 non-descendant soldiers and horses who entered the city had already taken refuge in the Weiwang Mansion under the leadership of the captain of the headquarters, and even Long Shiyuan and Sun Chengliang were rebelled. Xiao An was a few streets away, looking at the sky-high fire in the direction of the county guard's yamen, his heart was like a knife, his eyes were red, his son was killed, his wife and several concubines were captured, and he was now a real loner.
Zhao Tieyi saw the fire in the direction of the county guard yamen from a distance, and laughed: "Why don't you quickly lay down your arms and surrender?" The county guard yamen has been occupied by the soldiers and horses of the Wei Wang's Mansion and set on fire, except for the dead of Xiao An's family, the rest have been captured alive, and they are about to be raided and destroyed, do you want to be buried with you?"
Zhao Tieyi shouted, and many soldiers turned around and saw a sky-high fire burning in the direction of the county guard's yamen, and they panicked for a while. Xiao An roared hoarsely: "Don't listen to his nonsense! The county guard yamen is as stable as Mount Tai! Who can catch Zhao Tieyi, Sikong Jing, and reward them with a thousand taels of silver! Kill them also have five hundred taels of silver!"
The two sides have been fighting for an hour, Xiao An's two thousand soldiers and horses have suffered casualties of at least five hundred, Chen Yuping is carrying two Yanling knives picked up from the ground, and the man with a long sword is blocking in front of Xiao An's horse to protect Xiao An, Sikong Jing is carrying Chen Yuping's double halberd, and the two of them are fighting together, and from time to time the officers and soldiers of the county guard come up to sneak attack Sikong Jing, so Si Kong Jing is distracted, and the two of them can't tell the winner in a short time.
Here, Shi Rengui and the four ghosts of the Zhao family made a move, the two sides were almost evenly matched, and they were already tired into dogs, Sun Zongcheng gasped for a while, and suddenly ran up to help, Zhao Debiao, the third of the four ghosts of the Zhao family, was caught off guard, was stabbed in the leg, fell to the ground, and howled loudly. Shi Rengui had a quick eye and a quick hand, and a shot was stabbed, just stabbing Zhao Debiao in the chest, and Zhao Debiao was killed immediately.
When the other three brothers of the Zhao family saw Zhao Laosan tragically die under Shi Rengui's gun, they were almost mad, and the three of them took out a knife together and beat Shi Rengui wildly. Shi Rengui killed the third child of the Zhao family, hurriedly retreated, and moved closer to Sun Zongcheng while fighting with one enemy and three. Sun Zongcheng understood, and immediately stepped forward with a knife, took over Zhao Deliang, the second eldest member of the Zhao family, and fought with him. The four ghosts of the Zhao family had to combine the strength of the four to defeat Shi Rengui, and there were only two brothers left, and they were immediately in a hurry.
More than ten rounds later, Zhao Laosi Zhao Deyi was shot in the leg and fell to the ground with a scream. The boss Zhao Deyin saw that the fourth brother was injured, and immediately panicked, and he was accidentally shot in the wrist, and the Yanling knife fell to the ground, Shi Rengui jumped forward and stabbed Zhao Deyin in the chest with a shot, Zhao Deyin rolled on the ground, and dodged the shot in embarrassment, but he didn't expect Shi Rengui to shoot the fourth child of the Zhao family who was still lying on the ground and howling.
Zhao Deliang, the second eldest of the Zhao family, saw that the fourth brother was killed, and pounced on Sun Zongcheng like a mad tiger, Sun Zongcheng After a big battle with Cheng'er, he lacked stamina, for fear that he would suffer a loss, so he simply carried a knife around Shi Rengui and circled around, Zhao Deliang didn't care about Shi Rengui or Sun Zongcheng, he only cared about making a move, and was thrown by Shi Rengui after the gun was pumped in the back, and was immediately pulled to the ground.
The four ghosts of the Zhao family have already settled three accounts, and Zhao Deyin, who has the best light skills, saw that the situation was not good, and then rolled over, picked up a Yanling knife with his left hand, and swept towards the happy building, as the saying goes, the poor Kou Mo chases, therefore
Sun Zongcheng and Shi Rengui didn't chase after him, and let him escape, Zhao Deyin jumped into the room in two jumps, and left in the wilderness, disappearing in a blink of an eye.
Shi Rengui and Sun Zongcheng immediately exchanged opinions, Shi Rengui went to help Sikong Jing, Sun Zongcheng took Qiu Cheng and other five survivors to kill to the north, to rescue the besieged Qiu Fenglin and more than 200 of his subordinates, the two sides have been killed, but the officers and soldiers no longer dare to release arrows, because the two sides have been strangled together, and they will hurt their own people if they are ruthless.
The people in the city also hid in their homes, and some of them were more daring, and they even climbed on the roofs to watch the two sides fight from afar. At this time, Sikong Jing got Shi Rengui's help, and immediately relaxed, with one enemy and two, no longer have to worry about the attack of small soldiers behind him, less than ten rounds, and then knocked the double knife in Chen Yuping's hand away, Chen Yuping had no choice but to retreat, Sikong Jing took the opportunity to knock down the man with a long sword, and stabbed him in the chest with a halberd, resulting in his life.
Xiao An saw that the man with the long sword was killed, and his face was as frightened as earth. Chen Yuping saw that the situation was not good, and she couldn't take care of Xiao An, so she fled first. When Xiao An's halberd chief saw that Sikong Jing and Shi Rengui were about to pounce on Xiao An, he hurriedly shouted: "Quick, hurry up and form a formation to protect the county guard!" Hundreds of officers and soldiers were not afraid of death, blocked in front of Xiao An's horse, and fought with Sikong Jing and Shi Rengui.
At the south gate of Songshan City, Lu Chengjian, the captain of the city gate, was guarding the city gate with three hundred men and horses, and heard the shouting of killing in the center of the city, and saw the fire in the direction of the county guard in the city. At this moment, Mu Ying, the leader of the Eastern Guard, led dozens of black-clothed men to rush over, and Lu Chengjian shouted: "Who are you? There has already been a curfew in the city, how dare you trespass on the streets?"
Mu Ying, the head of the Fan Guard, took out the silver waist card from his arms, lit it up, and said with a hideous face: "Lao Tzu is Mu Ying, the chief banner of the East Internal Guard, and he is ordered by the Hundred Households of the East Guard, to go out of the city on business, boy, hurry up and open the city gate! Don't miss the master's errand!"
Lu Chengjian shouted loudly on the horse: "No one is allowed to leave the city without a warrant from the county guard tonight!"
Mu Ying was furious, pulled out the Yanling knife, and shouted: "Brothers, this guy dares to disobey orders, prevent us from going out of the city on business, and kill without mercy!" Lu Chengjian was shocked, after all, Dongwei's people are notoriously unreasonable, and Dongwei has a lot of prestige, and he has the momentum of seeing the third level of the official, Lu Chengjian is only a seven-grade official, and Mu Ying, as the general flag, is also a seven-grade, how can he compare to Mu Ying's might.
In a hurry, Lu Chengjian also pulled out his waist knife in his hand, trying to stop Mu Ying, after all, the county guard gave a death order tonight. Those who can become leaders at all levels of Dongwei are all people with some ability, and Mu Ying already has murderous intentions, and if he doesn't kill Lu Chengjian, he won't be able to open the south gate. Dongwei had already been notified by the guards of the Wei Wangfu and had already informed Chi Hongming, the captain of the military academy in the military camp outside the city, in advance.
At this time, Chi Hongming, who saw the fire in the city, should have led his troops to the south gate, waiting to enter the city to exterminate the rebels. At this time, Lu Chengjian dared to block Mu Ying's way, and he definitely wanted to kill him! Mu Ying picked up the Yanling knife with his right hand and slashed at Lu Chengjian, but his left hand took it into his arms, and Lu Chengjian hurriedly used the waist knife to check the frame. How do you know that Mu Ying is going to fight quickly, suddenly raised his left hand, and there was a short crossbow in his hand, Lu Chengjian suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and when he looked down, a crossbow arrow had penetrated his chest, and there was only an inch long arrow shaft left in his chest.
The corners of Lu Chengjian's mouth were bleeding, Mu Ying's hand was up and down, Lu Chengjian's body fell from the horse, and He Pingdong, the deputy lieutenant of the city gate, saw that the captain Lu Chengjian was killed, and suddenly his heart and gall were broken, and he directly abandoned the knife, dismounted and knelt on the ground, and begged loudly: "Mu Zongqi, I am willing to surrender!" The soldiers guarding the gate saw that the captain was killed, and the lieutenant surrendered.
Mu Ying shouted: "Hurry up and open the city gate, so that you will not be guilty of capital crimes!" He Dongping, the deputy lieutenant of the city gate, got up from the ground and ordered the soldiers to open the door with a loud shout. The city gate creaked open, the sergeant in the city put down the drawbridge again, Mu Ying took the torch, climbed to the head of the city, shook the torch three times, and shouted killing outside the city.
Chi Hongming entered the city with 1,500 people, Mu Ying went down to the city, and Chi Hongming gave each other hands. Chi Hongming left 200 soldiers to guard the south city gate, and led 1,300 brothers to kill with Mu Ying and Dongwei's men and horses to the Happy Building.
In front of the Happy Building, Xiao An was sweating urgently, the small square in front of the Happy Building had become a slaughterhouse, full of corpses and weapons, Sikong Jing and Shi Rengui joined forces, and they were almost exhausted, and more than 400 corpses of officers and soldiers had fallen in front of Xiao An, all of whom died to protect Xiao An. Xiao An looked at the hundreds of people nearby, and gritted his teeth, no matter what
I can't figure out why Sikong Jing and Shi Rengui are so strong!
Xiao An saw that Sikong Jing and Shi Rengui were exhausted, and shouted hoarsely: "Brothers, these two thieves can't hold it anymore! Quickly, kill them!" Another wave of officers and soldiers of the hundred-man squad rushed forward with a shout.
Sikong Jing and Shi Rengui fought with the officers and soldiers back to back, Shi Rengui smiled bitterly: "Brother Sikong, I'm afraid our two brothers are going to be here tonight!"
Sikong Jing panted and smiled: "The people in the Weiwang Mansion have set fire to the Yamen, there should be reinforcements behind, Brother Shi, you can hold on for a while! Or, you sit down and rest first, and wait for the elder brother to kill another hundred people, and then you will change me later, how about it?"
Shi Rengui didn't have time to answer, only to get the shouting of killing also sounded on the south side of Happy Street, "Kill! Xiao An, the dog officer who captured the dog alive, will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver!" Xiao An heard the shouting and killing, and was shocked, and hurriedly turned back to look at the south side of the street, only to see thousands of soldiers killed, led by Mu Ying, the general banner of Dongwei, and Chi Hongming, the captain of the military academy. Xiao An's heart was cold, and he immediately understood that the south city gate had been broken.
Chi Hongming commanded his soldiers to surround Xiao An and the others, and shouted: "Anti-thief Xiao An, you have been surrounded by us, and it is difficult to fly, so why don't you get off your horse and surrender quickly!" Sikong Jing and Shi Rengui took the time to catch their breath, Shi Rengui's nose and sideburns were full of sweat, thinking that if these people came two later teas, they would have to collect their corpses.
Xiao An knew that the general trend was gone, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh wildly, and the laughter was sad.
After a while, Xiao An slowly took off the black gauze hat on the top of his head, looked at Chi Hongming and said: "I, Xiao An, am not secret, so today's big thing is not successful, this is God is going to kill me Xiao An, I Xiao An is a dignified four-rank county guard, how can I get off the horse and surrender to you little seven-rank captain! Today, I Xiao An will not be humiliated, I will only die!" As he spoke, he pulled out his waist knife and wiped it on his neck.
The bones and heads fell to the ground, and Xiao An's body fell from the horse. When Xiao An's soldiers saw that the county guard was dead, they immediately became a leaderless group of dragons in chaos, and Sikong Jing shouted: "You guys quickly put down your weapons, otherwise you will be killed in a hurry!"
A halberd commander reacted very quickly, and immediately shouted: "The county guard is dead, let's all put down our weapons!" As he spoke, he lost the Yanling knife in his hand and knelt on the ground, those officers and soldiers were in a panic, and when they saw a halberd commander kneeling first, they also lost their weapons in their hands, knelt down together, kowtowed to Sikong Jing and others and begged for mercy. At this time, the soldiers in the north also heard the news of Xiao An's death, and they all put down their weapons in fright, and were guarded by Qiu Fenglin's subordinates, and Zhao Tieyi was proud.
Among this group of people, Sikong Jing has the highest official position, and he is the commander of the internal guards from Yipin, so Chi Hongming, the captain of the military academy, stepped forward and said: "Sikong Grand Commander, your official position here is the highest, please give an order and take over the county guard yamen!"
Sikong Jing shook his head with a smile, and said loudly: "To have such a result tonight, it is completely the masterpiece of the Weiwang Mansion, so let's ask Mr. Zhao Tieyi to take over the county guard yamen! You quickly carry Xiao An's head, take a few hundred soldiers, go to the Wuquan Hou Mansion and the county guard yamen, and surrender those remnants of the soldiers, and those who resist will be beheaded, and those who rob the houses will be beheaded! Go quickly, lest more innocent people be killed or injured!"
Chi Hongming agreed, leaving five hundred soldiers and horses to guard these surrendered generals, and he carried Xiao An's head, and rushed to Wuquanhou Mansion with four hundred soldiers and horses to reinforce Sun Chengliang, the chief bookkeeper, and Mu Ying rushed to the county guard yamen with four hundred soldiers and horses and dozens of men and horses from Dongwei to reinforce Gong Cao Long Shiyuan.
Sun Zongcheng and Zhao Tieyi, Long Si, Wei Qinghe, Yuan Lang, Dai Chengchao and others were all sitting on the side of the road exhausted, Sun Zongcheng brought more than ten house slaves of the Qiu family, only Qiu Cheng was still alive, Miao Yuting hid in the gate of the Happy Building, and saw that there were already soldiers who had begun to clean up the battlefield, so he dared to come out tremblingly.
Qiu Fenglin led more than 200 members of the Qiu family to fight with the officers and soldiers for half a night, and also suffered heavy losses, only more than 100 family members were still alive, and many of the living people were full of injuries. Shi Rengui was covered in blood, and came to Qiu Fenglin with a bright silver gun as a crutch. Qiu Fenglin said with a smile: "Sect Leader Shi, tonight you have a meritorious service in killing the enemy, I will report your exploits to the Wei Wangfu, you have a chance to be an official!"
Shi Rengui laughed and said: "It's already a fluke that the old man can survive in the chaotic army tonight, how dare you dare to be an official! That's fate, the old man doesn't force it!"
The old bustard and the turtle slave and the girls in the happy building saw that the fight had stopped outside, they all trembled and showed their heads, quietly watched, and heard that Xiao An had killed himself, they were all frightened, knowing that this time the happy building must change owners, Cheng'er, who was hiding in the happy building to heal, heard that Xiao An was dead, and he didn't care about the serious injuries, so he quickly took advantage of the chaos to jump over the ridge and escape.
