Ninety-three

Li Qunshan and Wu Chuanyu walked side by side at the north gate of Tai'an City, followed by a group of big-headed soldiers, Geng Ruji was wearing his own green robe complement official uniform, and his complement suit was a white pheasant, which was the color of Cong Wupin's civil official's uniform, but behind him Li Qunshan and Zhang Jiayu did not wear the tonic suit issued by the court, because they could be regarded as civilian soldiers, and these things couldn't keep up for a while, and these big-headed soldiers didn't care about these.

At this time, the endless flow of people is going in and out of the city gate, many porters carrying mud blocks, bricks and stones in the city gate fifty steps away from the city began to build a fort platform, the position of the fort is located on the left and right of the urn city, not far from the corner tower stretched out on the city wall, to ensure that in the place of a stone, not only the crossbow arrow can be covered, even a stone bow can also be shot. These forts are square in shape, and now the foundation has been laid, and the speed that can be seen with the eyes is increasing little by little, and in the discussion between Geng Ruji and a group of generals, this fort should be slightly higher than the city wall, so as to shoot the shield carts, trestle carts, and trestle carts hidden in the attacking city wall. There are also soldiers behind the large siege equipment such as shooting trolleys, on which four to eight bed crossbows will be placed, hiding about 100 crossbow arrows, as well as asphalt and some fire-starting things, this fort Taichung plans to station two killer teams, a total of more than 40 killer teams, each fort is also equipped with a little training of 50 people, in order to prevent the wandering militia from seizing control of the battlefield and can not send supplies to the fort, in the fort, there is also enough dry food for a fort for ten days.

About 20 such forts will be built around the wall, and now Tai'an Castle is being built on all sides.

Within the sight of many people, many deep holes are being built within the range of crossbow arrows and catapults from the city wall, and the people will dig these deep pits to a depth of about one and a half people. The shooting trolley fell crookedly in place, or let the attacking militia fall in, and all the pits were dug into a semi-inclined shape, and once people fell in, they would not be able to climb out, and all kinds of siege vehicles once the wheels on one side were trapped, they would immediately fall down, and then become a live target, and the soil of these pits, of course, was used to build forts, and when the pits were dug, they would be covered with mats, and then a layer of soil would be covered on them, and then many barbs and sharp stakes would be inserted underneath.

In addition, there are many people in the distance, dragging the trees to this side, Li Qunshan said to Geng Ruji, cut down the trees within more than ten miles around Tai'an City, so that the militia can not use these trees to make shield cars, trestle bridges and other siege equipment, and in turn, the officers and soldiers defending the city use these things to make the trees that defend the city, barbs, for the trees that are too far away to be dragged over, Li Qunshan suggested that they be burned, and the enemy is not allowed.

There are also many people who make stakes into spurs, which are made of two main beams and many sharpened barbs, which are bound in a cross and placed on the path of the siege, so that the opponent cannot organize a crowd to attack.

Li Qunshan saw some people inserting the barbs made upside down under the city wall, so he came out of the crowd and shouted: "Didn't I say it, these barbs should be inserted under the fortress first, and the other party will attack the city first, how did you listen to me a few days ago?" When the group of people heard this, one of them took the lead and shouted: "Lord, didn't you say that after the fort is repaired, you will insert barbs underneath? Now the fort has not been repaired, but there are a lot more barbs, and we can't wait." This man's words immediately angered a Minzhuang military commander who repaired the fort over there, and the Minzhuang military chief shouted: "We have already said that we will insert these barbs ourselves, of course the progress of our project will be slower, you specialize in cutting wood, the work is light, of course faster......"

Li Qunshan shouted: "After you have finished making the barbs, you will temporarily store them under the city and cover them with oilcloth." In this way, the two working groups stopped arguing.

Li Qunshan touched his head and said to himself: "If there are too many things, it is easy to make mistakes." "It turns out that Li Qunshan divided tens of thousands of people into several working groups, each performing its own duties, division of labor, daily progress, workload have different division of labor, such as a special digging pit working group, a digging working group is a gang, 20 people of Minzhuang, one of them, with 20 people, a day's workload is three eight feet deep, The location of the pit was first marked by another working group under the Yamen of the military training minister under the leadership of Geng Ruji, and after this working group completed the day's work, it could return home, and the food during the busy work was provided by the government.

In this way, everyone in a group understands that they can go home as long as they have completed the corresponding amount of work in the day. So everyone worked hard to get the job done as soon as possible. When they are done, they will be accepted by the acceptance team, and after passing the acceptance, they can immediately receive the day's grain and return home.

This greatly improves efficiency, a few days, Tai'an City Zhou does not know how many deep pits have been completed, before because all the people understand that no matter how much to do, anyway, it is a day, so twenty people can not dig a deep pit in a day, now according to Li Qunshan's acceptance team, the fastest digging team actually completed a day's workload in three and a half hours, that is, three standards of deep resistance, this kind of achievement made Geng Ruji open his mouth wide, Geng Ruji is a second list of jinshi, and he has been an official for many years, and he has never seen this kind of practice。

However, it is not without problems, for example, the progress of the problem, a fort should be inserted under the three hundred and twenty barbs, these barbs should not only be inserted within three feet under the fort, but also the base of the fort, but when the working group that is repairing the fort is busy, another working group responsible for arranging the barbs rushed over to arrange the barbs, which of course will make the two groups of people rip their skins, and the group of people engaged in construction do not want each other to get in the way, and the group of people who arranged the barbs want to finish the rations and return home quickly, so there are a lot of things that happen, and there are also problems of uneven distribution of labor, and the problem of overcrowding in and out of several city gates, these are all things to be solved in front of Li Qunshan.

Geng Ruji looked at the scene in full swing on the side, opened his mouth, and made a gesture to Li Qunshan, and said: "Mr. Li, you are really amazing, you can also think of this method, you have to be worshiped by the official, and the official will be replaced, I am afraid that I will not be able to complete such a feat in a month." ”

In front of everyone, many forts have sprung up, many deep pits have been dug out, and people are busy quickly and flexibly, or in a few days, Tai'an's city defense is only afraid to surpass Licheng.

Li Qunshan jumped up, jumped to the side, and said with a smile: "Master Geng, don't you want to break my life, you are a really virtuous official, I can't afford it, this method is nothing, I have seen too much." ”

Wu Chuanyu's face turned red, and said: "Uncle Shi, I only knew that you were good at martial arts before, but I didn't expect you to be so good at doing this thing, Uncle Shi, where did you learn this kind of skill." Li Qunshan touched his beardless chin and said with a smile: "A sage named Marx taught me, he is a sage in the west, he taught me a science called productivity, he said that the development of productive forces is accompanied by the refinement of the division of labor, and I don't learn it well, otherwise there would not be so many problems now." ”

Geng Ruji, who was on the side, blushed, stepped forward and asked: "Where is this Marx predecessor, such a person can be the minister of a country, and I also asked Mr. Li to introduce this official to him, and the official wants to recommend this great sage." Li Qunshan smiled and waved his hand: "He hasn't been born yet." Everyone showed a puzzled look on their faces, and Li Qunshan hurriedly smiled: "I said that he is dead, and now he has been reincarnated, and he has not yet been born." "All the generals are coarse, and they laugh when they hear it, and no one takes it seriously.

Geng Ruji said again: "Mr. Li, what is the productivity you just said?" Li Qunshan said: "The theory of productivity, let me make an analogy, now the Great Zhou Dynasty is an agricultural society, can only produce 10 million stone of grain a year, we use gold to exchange, assuming that 100 stone of grain is converted into one tael of gold, let's say that the difference in the level of productivity in the Great Zhou Dynasty is 100,000 taels of gold a day, and the theory of productivity is how to improve the production of the whole society every year - gold"

A group of military attachés heard a bunch of nouns, few of them understood, Zhang Jiayu smiled and said: "What do we want gold for, and we can't eat it." Li Qunshan said: "I'm making an analogy, using gold as a general equivalent, and gold here means social wealth." Geng Ruji, who was on the side, said: "According to what Mr. Li said, the things produced will always be consumed, and everyone will always have to eat." Li Qunshan said with a smile: "Lord Geng is really smart, productivity is to let the entire Great Zhou Dynasty produce more grain, more brocade cloth, and more and more things every year, so that every old Baiwa can have enough food and clothing." After Geng Ruji heard this, his eyes straightened, and he stepped forward to grab Li Qunshan and shouted, "Please Mr. Li take me as an apprentice and teach me this method." Li Qunshan said with a smile: "Even if I teach you, you can't figure it out, because this is not something that can be done by one person, this question involves a lot of things, from the political power to the industry to the whole society, Master Geng, do you know what the sage who taught me this degree has done in his life, if you know, you will definitely not learn this knowledge again." Geng Ruji said: "Please Mr. Li make it clear, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, why don't you learn from this official." Li Qunshan sighed: "He has been rebelling all his life - well, equivalent to rebellion." When Geng Ruji heard this, his face immediately changed and he took two steps back.

Li Qunshan said: "Don't hide it, this knowledge, in the future, it will pull the emperor off the horse, at least it will take away the emperor's authority, do you still want to learn?" Geng Ruji finally remained silent, and finally shook his head and said, "Geng still doesn't learn." Li Qunshan said: "So I said, now in Tai'an City, what we use is the fur in productivity, in the view of this discipline, the three emperors and five emperors, just a group of primitive people with low productivity, because of low productivity, so there are three emperors ruling the world, the world is the same." ”

A group of people walked and stopped, walked to a hundred steps away from the city gate, and had reached the edge of the defensive circle, then saw a horse with three red flags in front of the horse, shouted over, stopped in front of everyone, Wu Chuanyu stepped forward and said: "What's the matter? Come and report quickly?" The Tanma saluted and shouted: "The day before yesterday, General Li led the sect to attack the back of the militia, and the militia was defeated in the siege, leaving 20,000 corpses, and now they are retreating to Feicheng." ”

When everyone heard this, their faces showed a look of joy, and Zhang Jiayu said: "Do we want to chase after it, so that they don't dare to come to fight Tai'an's idea." Li Qunshan said: "We are all infantry, and the wandering militia has at least about 5,000 horsemen, so we can't afford to play." ”

Wu Chuanyu was anxious about Li Rate, and stepped forward and said: "How is General Li, is Cui Guiyuan embarrassed for General Li." The probe said: "General Li has made a great contribution, and Anran led his troops into Licheng, and there is no news now." Wu Chuanyu said: "You guys will probe again immediately, I am worried that Cui Guiyuan will attack General Li, if there is any news, I will report it immediately." Then he said goodbye to the horse, and then got on his horse.

At this time, among the governors of Licheng, the servants and maids fled in all directions, and Li Chengzhong flew his strength to go up the river from the crowd, and saw a large group of pacesetters rushing to the gate.

Cui Guiyuan's face showed a smug look, he took the wine glass in one hand, and the pillar of the Jiang Dynasty in the pacesetter camp under his hand had already shouted loudly, and asked Li Shujiao to confess his guilt quickly, and from time to time kicked Li Shujiao, who was tied up, and the generals on one side were all pale, holding wine, at a loss, Li Shujiao's face turned red, as if he wanted to scold, but he didn't scold. There are a few generals who looked at Cui Guiyuan, with a frightened look on their faces, or regret or resentment, most of them were worried that Cui Guiyuan would take him down.

Cui Guiyuan smiled and said: "General Li, General Li, where is your usual majesty, why is it so bad today, this official is just a small plan, I will take down you, a veteran of the battlefield for decades, it seems that you are not very good, you have fornicated with the militia, and you want to secretly communicate with the militia to break through the city of my city, this official has already known about this matter, and now he will take you down, and you have nothing to say." ”

Below, Li Shujiao's face was red, and he was naturally extremely angry, Li Shujiao scolded: "Traitor, you want to harm me, but you are making up trumped-up charges, the emperor knows about it, and he will definitely not spare you." The voice was loud and urgent, pulling the cowhide rope, a few pacesetters behind couldn't hold it, couldn't help shaking, Li Shujiao wanted to scold again, the pacesetters behind saw Cui Guiyuan's face, and suddenly used a cowhide hemp rope to cover Li Shujiao's neck, Li Shujiao never scolded anymore, only to see the eyeballs bulging, suddenly pulling, more pacesetters hugged up, held Li Shujiao down, Li Shujiao's throat barely came, only heard: "villain" two words.

Cui Guiyuan took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "You don't have a chance to make it clear to the emperor, the official decided to cut off your head first, and then naturally present it to the ministries, and naturally present it to the emperor. After laughing, Cui Guiyuan threw the wine glass and said with a smile: "Come on, teach me Li to Ling Chi, no, you have to crack his car, the car is cracked, I only heard that the car was cracked in ancient times, and now I want to crack a living person, how many pieces will it be." At this time, Cui Guiyuan's voice was like a ghost, and for a while, all the subordinates and maids on the side seemed to see Cui Guiyuan on the first day, just because they had never seen Cui Guiyuan show such a demeanor, and today is the time when Cui Guiyuan is proud, of course, he must let go of his mood.

The generals on the side looked sad and indignant, Zu Tingnian was originally slippery, but at this time, his eyes were also red, and his hand touched the handle of his sword, but he remembered that the weapon had already been put outside. Long Shizhong was about to step forward and reason with Cui Guiyuan, but Zheng Mingshi, who was behind him, suddenly grabbed him and stared at him fiercely, both of them were angry, but they didn't dare to step forward after all. Most of the other generals bowed their heads. Cui Guiyuan glanced at it and sneered: "The spirit of blood and courage is worth a bullshit in the eyes of this official, who dares to come forward?"

A small official stepped forward, this little official was originally here to write a pen and the like, this little official knelt down and said: "Duye, this dynasty has no punishment for car splitting, since the founding of this dynasty, Emperor Wen Shengren, abolished this ......" Cui Guiyuan suddenly twisted his face, and said angrily: "Won't you look for a horse? Isn't the car cracking just putting people on and then putting a cannon to pull people away? You can't do this thing well, it can be seen that you are useless, come to someone, behead him, this official is fornicating with the rebel general, it can be seen that he can't be kept." "There were already pacesetters rushing up, a pacesetter with a big knife wave, the little official screamed, the servant fell to the ground, blood flowed up the hall, the body was still twitching, a few pacesetters stepped forward again, and the knives were all together, and there was a lot of rotten meat in the hall after a while.

Cui Guiyuan said: "Jiang Chaodong, look for Ma, the official is going to crack the car of this rebel general, and the official wants to look at the last appearance of this rebel general before he dies, is it still so arrogant." "Where does Jiang Chaodongliang dare to disobey, he and Cui Guiyuan are one and the same, only when Cui Guiyuan goes up, he can go up, even if he sympathizes with him, he just turns around.

Cui Guiyuan looked at the generals who were trembling on the side, was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Everyone sit down, this official has won the rebel general, it is the time to celebrate, why should the generals worry, naturally it has nothing to do with everyone." A group of people put their hearts at ease, and even if there were individual sympathizers, they didn't dare to speak at this time.

As soon as I sat down, I heard the maids on the side scream, and before I understood what was going on, I looked

A man dressed as a soldier pounced on him, and he also held a wooden stick in his hand, obviously drawn from a broom, this man roared down, Cui Guiyuan heard a burst of wind smashing down on his head, Cui Guiyuan suddenly turned pale and was at a loss.

With a "snap", the stick hit Cui Guiyuan's head, Cui Guiyuan screamed, the official hat was blown away by a stick, his hair was scattered, and he was draped behind him, and the man roared angrily: "If you don't kill you, how can you stand up to the soldiers who died on the front line." Another blow came down, this stick slapped Cui Guiyuan in the face, this man was powerful, and Cui Guiyuan suddenly had a lot of nosebleeds.

This man is Li Chengzhong, because only the standard battalion soldiers brought weapons, and he didn't find a weapon, so he had to find a broom handle in the corner of the wall, pulled it out, and touched the corner.

Li Chengzhong hit another stick, after all, this broom handle is just ordinary wood, can't withstand his strength, "snap", suddenly became two halves, half flew to the sky, Li Chengzhong stepped forward, choked Cui Guiyuan's throat, shouted: "Dog official, if you don't die, the world will be restless." Li Chengzhong is long and strong, Cui Guiyuan has already been hollowed out by wine, and in a few duck-like calls, it seems that Li Chengzhong is about to be strangled.

A group of standard battalion soldiers rushed up and desperately dragged Li Chengzhong back, not wanting Li Chengzhong to die and not letting go, a standard battalion soldier wanted to stab with a knife, and a hundred generals shouted: "Be careful of hurting adults." A group of pacesetters worked hard to separate Li Chengzhong and Cui Guiyuan. didn't want Li Chengzhong to die and not let go, Mr. Bai saw Cui Guiyuan's complexion getting worse and worse, and saw Li Chengzhong's arms, his eyes changed, he took out a steel knife, and shouted to the pacesetters on the side: "You hold him steady." After saying that, he cut it down, and saw the blood light flying, and the hundred generals cut off one of Li Chengzhong's arms with a knife, and the blood flew everywhere, but Li Chengzhong's severed hand was still strangled on Cui Guiyuan's neck, and the severed hand did not fall, but also choked Cui Guiyuan's neck, although Li Chengzhong had a broken hand, his face was pale, but he said sharply: "I won't let you go if I die." "One hand is harder.

The Bai Zong waved another knife, and saw the blood light fly again, and one of Li Chengzhong's arms flew into the sky, and the Bai Zong laughed loudly and shouted: "Lord Cui, Master Cui, you are fine, it was the little one who saved you." The eyes were eager, obviously wanting Cui Guiyuan to see that he had made great contributions, these little soldiers, naturally they didn't care about any civil and military disputes, they cared about their own honor and insult, and now they want to show their faces in front of Cui Guiyuan.

I don't want Li Chengzhong to stop falling, although his hands were broken, his blood was still flying wildly, and his face was pale, he didn't fall, Li Chengzhong looked up to the sky and roared, "Villain." With one kick, the hundred always didn't catch this moment, flew backwards, smashed on the ground, and there was a faint noise.

Li Chengzhong desperately pounced forward, opened his mouth, and suddenly bit down, biting Cui Guiyuan's dough, and the standard battalion soldiers behind were pushed by Li Chengzhong on the verge of death, and took a few steps back, Li Chengzhong bit Cui Guiyuan's dough, this bite was extremely deep, and everyone only heard Cui Guiyuan screaming, Li Chengzhong bit and didn't let go.

That Bai Zong stepped forward, and he didn't dare to knife again, for fear of hurting Cui Guiyuan, and looked at the silver wine jug on the ground on the side, his eyes rolled, and he took it to heart, lifted the wine jug, and slammed it on Li Chengzhong's head, this silver wine jug weighed several catties, and everyone heard it smashed several times, and each one was extremely heavy.

The generals below all turned red, and most of them held down their fists, hoping that Li Chengzhong would bite Cui Guiyuan to death.

A standard battalion soldier shouted, "This guy is loose, loose." A group of people tore off Cui Guiyuan's body with his arms broken and bleeding Li Chengzhong, and saw Cui Guiyuan's face pale and lying on the ground, and the general manager of the standard camp helped Cui Guiyuan up, and the generals looked at it, only to see that Cui Guiyuan's face had a flesh pit with deep white bones, revealing bright red flesh, Cui Guiyuan's neck also had two severed hands, and the blood flowed all over his three-grade governor civil official tonic suit, his hair was also scattered, and there was a smell of urine in the lower body, it turned out that Cui Guiyuan was scared to pee just now.

Cui Guiyuan was just helped up, but he screamed in pain, this bite was Li Chengzhong biting with hatred, and the strength was naturally not light, and now Cui Guiyuan's face is like an extra meat pit, red and white, originally Cui Guiyuan also had a good face, but now it is broken.

Everyone didn't look at Cui Guiyuan's bottoms, because there was not only blood, but also a lot of urine, at this time Li Chengzhong's two severed hands were still on his neck, and Cui Guiyuan was extremely uncomfortable, and that Bai Zong was busy for a while, so he took Li Chengzhong's two severed hands off Cui Guiyuan's neck, but he missed a lot of time.

Cui Guiyuan screamed twice in pain, seeing that the people below were in a hurry, and Li Chengzhong was still lying on one side, at this time Li Chengzhong was as angry as a gossamer, because of excessive blood loss, he was about to die, and all the soldiers were busy saving Cui Guiyuan, and no one paid attention to it for a while.

After Cui Guiyuan tore off the broken arm around his neck, he said angrily to Mr. Bai on the side: "Why are you so careless, you go and behead all the soldiers on duty today, and send the heads up, these people are not secret, how can they not die." The Bai Zong bowed his head and went down, but he led people to kill a few soldiers guarding the door, so as to dispel Cui Guiyuan's anger.

Cui Guiyuan looked at Li Chengzhong on the ground, and shouted to Li Shujiao: "Your good son, you are really loyal, come on, throw the body of this villain into the oil pot, and the official wants to take advantage of him not to die, let him have a good taste of being fried." The pacesetters below responded a few times, and some soldiers stepped forward, dragged Li Chengzhong, who was not dead, and went out of the door, Li Chengzhong was unconscious, and still scolded himself: "Dog officer, villain......

Li Shujiao had tears in his eyes, and he took off his hood and shouted: "Dog officer, if you do this, aren't you afraid of retribution?" Before he finished speaking, the standard battalion soldiers behind him suddenly tightened the hemp rope around Li Shujiao's neck, Cui Guiyuan smiled angrily, and said: "This official is still afraid of your group of martial artists, is the carriage ready?" Naturally, a soldier below stepped forward and responded: "It's ready." Cui Guiyuan covered his face with his hands to prevent blood from flowing down, and said to the generals: "You and this official will go and take a look at the rebel generals." He said to the subordinates on the side: "Withdraw the banquet to the front of the courtyard, and the official will drink with the generals while watching the rebel general of Che Split Li Sect." All the generals were silent, all of them had abnormal faces, and saw Cui Guiyuan walking in front first, and the generals behind him also followed one by one, if it weren't for Cui Guiyuan followed by a group of standard soldiers, someone would want to kill him at the moment.

When the generals arrived at the venue, they saw that someone had already moved the banquet over, and there were many more flowers during the banquet, but at this time, no one could eat or drink, and all the generals sat down, and a group of pacesetters stood behind them, in case someone broke out.

I saw a few horses galloping over, Li Shujiao had already been dragged to the field, several pacesetters locked Li Shujiao's limbs, and there were already horse trainers on the field below, just waiting for Cui Guiyuan's order, he instigated the horses and ran in all directions, wanting to pull Li Shujiao into several pieces.

Li Shujiao's scolding came: "Cui Guiyuan, you are today's Qin Hui, sooner or later, one day, the country's major affairs will make you corrupt, how have you ever put the country's major affairs in your heart, what you think about is your own personal anger, your behavior is really no different from a beast." For there was no soldier behind him to pull the hemp rope, and at last he could open his mouth to curse.

It's just that he is the only one in this scene who is shouting and scolding, a group of generals, and many subordinates, but none of the soldiers have spoken, everyone is looking at Cui Guiyuan, Cui Guiyuan said: "What happened to that assassin?" The following human: "If you return to the adult, you haven't thrown it into the oil pot, but because of blood loss, you have already died first." Cui Guiyuan said angrily: "It's really cheap for him, hang the head of this assassin at the gate of the city, and feed his body to wild dogs." The soldiers below dared to say half a word, and turned around to do it.

Below, Li Shujiao's scolding came, and he faintly heard "dog officials, villains, etc." Cui Guiyuan sneered: "I won't wait today, I ordered that his car be cracked, and his head should be hidden in lime, and it will be of great use to put it away." The soldiers below led it, and the generals saw the four horses in the field running together, a few horsemen gave an order, and several horses ran in all directions, and the sound of "crackling" flesh breaking, and a short scream came.

Li Shujiao a good man, before he died, he also screamed, although it was very short, everyone also heard the heart-wrenching pain in this scream, everyone heard it, all of them felt the same way, and their faces were not good-looking, Cui Guiyuan heard Li Shujiao's painful scream, he was in a good mood, drank a cup, and said with a smile: "Good, good, really good, see you escape from the palm of my hand." After a while, I saw four horses galloping away, Li led a good man, and finally died in the hands of Cui Guiyuan, and screamed for a while before he died.

A horse galloped in front of Cui Guiyuan, Li Shuijiao's right hand was pulled in front of Cui Guiyuan with his head, Cui Guiyuan stared at it, and saw that Li Shuijiao's head was not closed, but still open, blood flowed all over the ground, and his mouth was open. As soon as Cui Guiyuan was proud, he shook his head and said with a smile: "You can't escape my ......"

Seeing that Li Shujiao's corpse was finally taken down by a few horsemen and put it together, Cui Guiyuan said with a smile: "I won the rebel general today, which is a great achievement, just celebrate with you, come, everyone drink this cup together......" I was happy for a while, and even the pain on my face was lightened.

Li Chengdou and Li Chenglu had already rushed to the door of the governor's office with their troops, and they saw a group of pacesetters rushing out, leading a general, wearing a chain mail and a red cloak.

Li Chenglu stepped forward and shouted, "Master Jiang, have you ever seen my father-in-law?" Jiang Chaodong laughed for a while, holding a box in his hand, there was still blood on the lid of the box, and the soldiers on the side also showed a sly smile on their faces, and a pacesetter smiled: "Your father-in-law, you want it to be in the hands of my family, do you want to take a look." Li Chengdou didn't want Li Chenglu to quarrel with these standard soldiers, so he smiled and said: "Brother, what are you kidding, if your father-in-law is drunk, we will take him back." The pacesetter looked at the blood-dripping box in Jiang Chaodong's hand and said with a smile: "That's not good, we will hang your father-in-law's head on the city wall." With that, the soldiers behind them burst out laughing.

Li Chenglu has such a good temper, he stepped forward and pushed the soldier, the pacesetter fell backwards, and hit Jiang Chaodong's body behind him, the box in Jiang Chaodong's hand fell to the ground all of a sudden, the box opened with a "snap", and a human head with blood rolled out, with many blood stains, the mouth of the human head was still wide open, obviously extremely painful before death, and it was Li Shujiao.

Li Chengdou shouted: "Father-in-law." ”

Later, Jiang Chaodong saw that the matter was exposed, and shouted: "Don't let them run, don't let them run." As soon as Li Chengdou saw the standard battalion soldiers on the opposite side holding weapons and stepped forward, he didn't know that Li Shujiao had already called Cui Guiyuan to harm, so he screamed, pulled Li Chenglu up, picked up Li Shujiao's head with one hand, and ran backwards.

Dozens of governor's standard battalion soldiers at the gate rushed over together, and Li Chengdou was in a hurry, shouting to the cavalry behind him: "What are you doing in a daze? At this time, Li Chenglu came back to his senses and knew that his father-in-law had been killed, and the Liao soldiers behind the two saw the head of Li Shujiao, and they also woke up.

Li Chenglu, who was fleeing backwards and didn't want to come back to his senses, roared angrily and shouted, "Kill this group of pups." Suddenly ripped off Li Chengdou's hand, pulled out the knife in his waist, and rushed back to the governor's pacesetters, and the Liao soldiers behind him also rushed up and fought with the governor's pacesetters at the door of the governor's ya.

There were many pedestrians on the road at the door, seeing the sword light and sword shadow here, they immediately screamed, scattered in all directions, and made a mess, Li Chengdou rushed back to the crowd of Liao soldiers, held the head of Li Shujiao in his arms, and shouted to the Liao soldiers behind him: "My lord has harmed Cui Guiyuan, and now we are going to rush out." Li Chenglu shouted: "Kill Cui Guiyuan first, let's go with me, kill Cui Guiyuan, the dog official." Li Chenglu's several gang commanders also red-eyed, the Liao soldiers rushed to the door of the governor's ya, all the Liao soldiers knew that Cui Guiyuan was harmful to people, but they didn't want to become a reality today, they have always been ostracized, and the standard battalion soldiers have long been at odds, today when they saw the head of the family killed, they were all excited, pulled out their weapons, and killed at the door of the governor's ya, Li Chengdou did not listen to his orders.

Li Chengdou looked at the Liao soldiers who rushed to the door of the governor's office, and knew that Cui Guiyuan was fully arranged now, even if he rushed in, he would kill Cui Guiyuan, and it was possible to trap all the less than 200 people here.

The sound of weapons at the door sounded, at first the Liao soldiers were eager to take revenge, and the standard battalion soldiers could not prevent it, but let the Liao soldiers take advantage, the stone lion at the door splashed a lot of blood, the standard battalion soldiers let the Liao soldiers kill and retreat, Li Chengdou saw Li Chenglu cut down the patrol standard battalion soldier who had just made fun of him to the ground, and then pounced on him, made up a few knives, and kicked a few times hatefully, and then pointed at the inner door, and shouted to the son behind him: "Rush with me, rush in, and kill Cui Guiyuan." "A group of Liao soldiers only want to take revenge, these days have been deducted from time to time military salaries, every day is oppressed, there can still be patient, today I saw the head of the family was killed, many days of anger finally broke out, several teams of governor pacesetters at the door were cut to the ground, blood flowed everywhere, although the standard battalion soldiers were selected by Cui Guiyuan from the strong, but it is precisely because it is the standard battalion soldiers, specializing in guarding Cui Guiyuan, but not often on the battlefield, the days are naturally tired, and the Liao soldiers fight every day, for a long time, the people who survived, naturally all of them are elite soldiers, two short soldiers one after another, the merits are judged, the standard battalion soldiers at the door were cut back again and again。

Li Chengdou hugged the head and suppressed the grief in his heart, he naturally knew that this was the time to be extremely critical, not the time to indulge his grief, and shouted backwards: "Come back quickly, we have to rush out of Licheng quickly, Cui Guiyuan has already prepared." But except for dozens of people close to him, they all followed Li Chenglu and rushed into the door, no one listened to him, seeing this scene, Li Chengdou was quite anxious, and a gang leader behind him stepped forward and said: "Young Master Dou, let's also follow in." Li Chengdou scolded: "Are you crazy? You take care of the horses, and when they rush out, we will quickly escape from the city." The captain went down.

There was chaos at the door, the standard battalion soldiers shouted: "Rebellion, rebellion ......" and retreated, the Liao soldiers shouted: "Kill Cui Guiyuan, kill Cui Guiyuan......" also rushed in, and finally squeezed the governor's gate open, the vermilion gate let the Liao soldiers squeeze open, the crowd rushed in, and the standard battalion soldiers on both sides fled in all directions.

Li Chenglu saw the pacesetters fleeing, only to see that Jiang Chaodong walked incognito, fled to the second entrance door, so he shouted, took dozens of people around him, and rushed in, along the way people blocked and killed, Buddha blocked and killed Buddha, many people who couldn't run away were killed by the rebels, and the corpses in the courtyard were stacked on top of each other, and the bluestone pavement slabs that were dyed red with blood were dyed red. Li Chenglu was bent on finding Cui Guiyuan, and then killing him, and every time he met someone, he would pull him in front of him and ask, "Where is Cui Guiyuan?" If he didn't answer, he would stab him down.

A group of people rushed into the second courtyard, and Li Chenglu was shouting, when he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

There was a whistle on the courtyard walls on both sides, and hundreds of standard battalion soldiers stood up from the wall, all of them opened their strong bows, and a hundred people gave an order, and the arrows were shot over, which immediately made the Liao soldiers who were crowded together suffer a big loss.

Li Chenglu helped a dead Liao soldier from the ground, blocked in front of him, and the same position on all sides also found items to resist the cold arrows fired from all directions, and for a while the Liao soldiers could not rush again, and the momentum suddenly stopped.

When I didn't know how to plan, suddenly there was a shout from behind, it was Li Chengdou, I heard a string sound, an arrow flew back to the wall, the flag waved Bai Zong a poured onion, so that Li Chengdou shot down, it turned out that Li Chengdou took his own riding bow, to shoot that Bai Zong, Li Chengdou's archery skills are naturally extremely good, this time to succeed, dozens of people behind him also opened their bows, shot at the pacesetters at the head of the wall, specifically shot officers, and suddenly let the pacesetters stop, and the pacesetters who lost the leader of the battalion soldiers panicked for a while.

Li Chengdou pulled Li Chenglu and shouted: "Let's go, there are still many brothers in Anyuanmen, and there are also dangers, we are about to save them." At this moment, the third entrance of the governor's yamen opened with a loud bang, and hundreds of standard battalion soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding heavy shields rushed over here, these soldiers were arranged by Cui Guiyuan just in case, and he didn't want to really use them.

These soldiers are wearing heavy armor, Li Chengdou shot a few arrows, did not shoot in, at the moment pulled Li Chenglu and his group, retreated, fortunately, the Liao soldiers only had cowhide armor, and they could still run past the standard battalion soldiers who wore dozens of pounds of heavy armor, a group of people ran to the door of the governor's ya, and saw that the horses were empty, it turned out that Li Chengdou ordered his subordinates to take care of the horses.

The entrance of the governor's yamen was already in chaos, the corpses were stacked on top of each other, the crowd was also walking in disorder, the pedestrians on the street were all screaming, and some thought that the militia had entered the city again, and the Liao soldiers got on their horses, and Li Chengdou shouted: "We will rush to Anyuanmen first, several uncles and brothers are in Anyuanmen, we must rescue them." At this time, there were more than 100 Liao soldiers, less than 200, but they had died a lot just now.

A group of people rushed out, rushed to the center of the cross street, no longer caring about pedestrians, and bumped into a lot, a group of people ran far away, and the standard battalion soldiers in heavy armor rushed to the door, and when they saw the figures, they had to put a few arrows, and then set off fireworks to gather other ambushes in the city.

A group of Liao soldiers rushed out, saw pedestrians and collided, at this time Li Chengdou can no longer take care of this caused innocent people, in the screams, the horse trampled to death, some ambush soldiers also rushed out of the alleys, from time to time there are Liao soldiers and knights were shot off the horse, Li Chengdou also opened his bow on the horse, dozens of people under him also opened their bows, and shot arrows at the ambush soldiers on both sides, but it was bitter to see the lively old Baiwa in the city, and I don't know how many were shot dead by both sides, and I don't know how many were trampled to death by horses, and the screams along the way were endless.

Rushed to not far from Anyuan Gate, a team of Mao cavalry to block, it is the cavalry of Sun Dagong, the deputy general of Mao Bing, the two groups of people are not much at the moment, Li Chengdou and others rely on accurate archery, and have been in battle for a long time, two impacts, Mao soldiers suffered a big loss, Sun Dagong beckoned soldiers to resist the horse gun at the head of the city, Li Chengdou shot an arrow, in the middle of Sun Dagong's left eye, Sun Dagong fell to the ground in pain, Sun Dagong's personal soldiers hurriedly helped the master of the family to the back, the Mao cavalry of Anyuan Gate lost command, and dispersed in an uproar, so that the Liao soldiers killed to the door, the Mao infantry guarding the inner gate of the urn city saw the murderous cavalry killed, threw the weapon and ran, Li Chenglu still did not let go, and held the bowand shoot the fleeing foot soldiers one by one.

A group of Liao soldiers opened the inner door of the urn city together. Everyone was panicked, why was there no sound in this urn city? Why was there no one else to answer? Everyone said in their hearts: "Have they all been killed?"

Before the door could be opened, the crowd saw the blood flowing from under the door, slowly staining the soldiers' boots red.

In the quiet atmosphere, thousands of corpses fell in the small urn city, with different postures, horse corpses and human corpses stacked on top of each other, a flag fell in a pool of blood, and a big "Li" character was written in the main book. The corpses were filled with arrows, even crossbow arrows, and thrown stones.

Li Chenglu yelled at the sky, and screamed, it turned out that Anyuanmen was also a scam, the so-called to receive salary, it turned out to be to bring the Liao soldiers to this Weng city, and then close the city gate, shoot arrows from the city, throw stones, pour fire oil, and pit all these brothers here.

Of the more than 2,500 cavalry that Li led to bring from Liaozhen, there are only more than 100 people left behind Li Chenglu and Li Chengdou, and there are still a few men and horses left in Tai'an.

Li Chengdou had long thought that there might be such a result, and it really happened, although he repeatedly reminded himself not to immerse himself in sadness, and it was sad for a while.

A group of Liao soldiers were silent, and some of them cried bitterly, looking for their brothers and uncles in the dead corpses, the Liao soldiers were all from the same town, and it was not uncommon for brothers and uncles to join the army at the same time.

Li Chengdou turned over a few times in the crowd, and found the half-dead Li Chengzhi under the corpse of a horse, at this time Li Chengzhi was smashed to death by a boulder in both legs, and was hit by an arrow in the chest, just on the corpse of a horse pressed on him, so that he was not found, and now he is screaming.

Li Chengdou wanted to help Li Chengzhi up, but he didn't want Li Chengzhi to open his hand, and shouted: "Revenge, revenge, promise me, you promise me, revenge ......" was hoarse, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and his eyes were even wider.

Li Chenglu stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, I want to make all the people in this city be martyred for the uncle and brothers, you can go with peace of mind." After saying that, he raised a knife, and the knife fell violently, and blood flew to Li Chenglu's face, and Li Chengzhi opened his eyes and died.

Li Chenglu stood up and shouted: "We have to rush out first, and then we have a chance to kill Cui Guiyuan, everyone immediately got on the horse, looked for good weapons, bows and arrows, armor, and dry food, and we will rush out." Although the rest of the Liao soldiers were all grieving, they knew that the Mao soldiers would come again soon, so they found arrows from the corpses of their relatives, took bows and arrows, dry food and other things, and armed themselves.

Everyone has not cleaned up, a flag was raised in the gate tower outside the urn city, it was Sun Dagong, although Sun Dagong injured an eye, but did not go down, after waking up, hated the Liao soldiers to make themselves disabled, and immediately raised the flag in the city tower to fight again.

Thousands of Mao soldiers, local soldiers poured out from everywhere, many with bows and arrows in their hands, Li Chenglu was about to step forward, Li Chengdou grabbed him, and shouted: "Do you see how many of them are? Do you want to bury the last of your brothers here?" At that moment, while Li Chenglu was sober, he shouted to the people behind him: "Follow me on the horse, we rushed to Cheng'en Gate, Long Shizhong of Cheng'en Gate has always sympathized with his father-in-law, and has some friendship with his father-in-law, Cheng'en Gate is the only street where we can rush out." All the soldiers got on their horses, and when they heard this, they followed Li Chengdou, and the remaining more than 100 Liao soldiers rushed towards Chengenmen.

The Mao soldiers behind couldn't catch up, and the cavalry of the Mao soldiers let them be killed for a while just now, and they couldn't catch up, so they watched the Liao horses ride away.

Along the way, Li Chengdou ordered his subordinates to set fire to create chaos, because Cui Guiyuan wanted to keep it secret, so that he suddenly launched, and did not notify the guards everywhere, so that the more than 100 Liao soldiers were able to succeed in all directions, and the city suddenly caught fire, it was originally a day of celebration, but the fire broke out, pedestrians scattered, screamed, and soon heard the alarm horn in the city ringing, the city was even more chaotic, and the pursuers did not care about the hundred children in the city, and chased wildly, and the Liao soldiers were even more unkind, and when they met the people who blocked the way, they slashed with a knife.

Not long after, the Liao cavalry rushed to the gate of Cheng'en, at this time there were many people, all of them were caught up and killed, the soldiers and horses of the Cheng'en gate seemed to not know what was going on, and saw the Liao soldiers who rushed to the front, and slowly moved the horses, and the city gate was not closed, only a group of foot soldiers shouted at the head of the city.

Li Chengdou said happily: "Long Shizhong must have sympathized with his father-in-law, otherwise, he would have closed the city gate, sent the cavalry to contain him, and lined up the infantry in a good position, and now we are about to rush out." A group of people desperately rode their horses and rushed into the city gate, and the thousands of pursuers behind also saw the shadow. 、

A group of people rushed out at a gallop, only some old soldiers shouted at the head of the city when passing through the urn city of Cheng'en Gate, and did not close the city gate, rushed out of the outer city gate, the drawbridge had already been put down, the Liao soldiers rushed across the moat on horseback, and the pursuers behind had just rushed to the inner gate of the urn city, and the inner door suddenly closed with a "boom", blocking thousands of pursuers, and the time was extremely accurate.

The Liao soldiers just rushed out of the city, rushed to the wilderness outside the Cheng'en Gate, here is the battlefield of the previous battle, the soldiers had no intention of looking back, rushed out of the city, all felt that there was hope for survival, and some cried with joy, Li Chengdou looked back, there was a figure wearing mountain armor on the head of the city, it was Long Shizhong, just faintly saw a glance, Long Shizhong turned around, and then the drawbridge began to "squeak" The sound sounded, when the soldiers fled far away, the drawbridge was hung up, you don't have to think about it, you know, the pursuers want to open the inner city gate, and open the outer city gate, and then you have to put down the drawbridge, Long Shizhong can use these excuses to drag these chasing soldiers for a long time, every time you go out, you have to ask the other party to go out of the token, and you want the other party's main general to confront yourself, and really chase the soldiers out, I am afraid that an hour is indispensable.

All the soldiers are sad, today's events, I am afraid that I will never forget, Li Chengdou is holding the box containing the head of Li Shujiao in his arms, but he is planning where to go, the shadow of Licheng is gradually gone, more than 100 people are running in the wilderness, the sun is about to set, Li Chengdou glanced at the box in his arms, and said secretly: "My father-in-law was upright all his life, and he died at the hands of treachery, I must bring the heads of the righteous people back to his hometown in Tieling, and let my father-in-law be stable." ”

A group of people headed east under the setting sun, on one side of the road where the exile army went, and on the other side of the road to Taean.
