Chapter Seventy-Seven: Yang Mou
At dusk, Luo Shixin rode ahead, and it was not far from the tens of thousands of troops who had entered Debaling City. \\。 qb5、coM
Looking at the skyspace of the sunset in the distance, he took a deep breath of the river breeze blowing from the boat, and Luo Shixin said leisurely: "Baling City is north of the Yangtze River, west of Dongting, the scale is large, the people are rich, and more importantly, there is a Dongting sailor, once the king wins, he will be able to prosper." ”
As he spoke, he had already reached a mile-long river outside Baling City, and saw that there were many large and small boats parked nearby, not to mention as many as two or three hundred. There were more than a dozen pergolas in the open space on the shore, but when they saw the army coming, they all fled in fright.
Xu Ziling frowned, and said lightly: "Dongting Water Master, it may not be so easy to get, right? Xiao Mo has been in business for many years, so he should have some strength. ”
Luo Shixin pondered for a while, showing a hint of a smile, seeing that he was about to get to the city, he immediately ordered that tens of thousands of people should camp, and camping is really a science, and it is necessary to find a suitable place first, a place that is not threatened by fire and water, and there must be a way back.
Suddenly, thousands of Tang troops were dispatched to cut down trees, one row long and one short, and there were special personnel to light matches, burn the bottom of the trunk and bury half into the soil, the long trunks were lined up in a tight row outside, and the short trunks were lined up in a row, and then a wooden plank was erected between the two rows of trunks, divided into two layers, so that the part of the long trunk became a parapet, the upper layer of the wooden plank could allow soldiers to patrol and sentry, and the lower layer could store defensive weapons and let soldiers rest.
Inside the camp, there are 50 people in a camp, and the tents are facing each other in pairs, and drainage ditches are dug around the camp tent and between the camp area, and a guard line is set up. Because soldiers can only move in their own camps, those who stray will be taken down immediately.
Even the food and drink, it is five camps and one stove, the rice, water, and kitchen are different, no one can poison everyone to poison, although it is not the first day to see it, but all kinds of such a strict military system still make Xu Ziling frown slightly, in the end, Luo Shixin is from the imperial army. The kind of chaos with the peasant army is not at all a horizontal line.
Basically, only officers above the tun commander can freely enter and leave the barracks, and Xu Ziling still basically has the right to come and go freely, but there are some places where he has no reason to go.
Although this procedure is too cumbersome, but there are many people and great power, everything is in order, Luo Shixin saw this, and said with a smile: "Dongting Water Master, it is Lu Kang's hand that grasps it." After all, the business line of the Baling Gang is in the fleet, this is the lifeblood, if it falls into the hands of others, he should have lost his position a long time ago, and now the Dongting Sailor is in the hands of the three masters, Shabo, has already left the city and entered the fleet. ”
Xu Ziling's heart was full of joy, knowing that Luo Shixin had already prepared, and thought about it. frowned again and said, "Since Lu Kangshou is already inclined to join King Tang, why didn't Brother Luo enter the city at the beginning and now camp outside the city?"
Luo Shixin's eyes flashed, and he said: "Fighting for the army lies in the first opportunity, such as marching at the beginning. I'm afraid that the Baling Gang will unite against our army, but our army will not advance, in the past nine days, the Baling Gang has been arguing endlessly about whether to surrender, there have been many bloody conflicts, the gap is large, and then after our mention, Lu Kangshou has already prepared, Xiao Mo is difficult to easily kill him, and now the army is pressing. It will only make the gap bigger and bigger, just divide and rule, this time and that time, there are only a few days before and after, but the result is very different. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the city again: "The most important thing is that the split between Lu Kangshou and Xiao Mo has been made public, and the disciples below already know this fact, even if Xiao Mo can kill Lu Kangshou and Shabo." It's no longer difficult to unify the orders of the Baling Gang, but. The city is in great danger now, and if I want to enter the city, I will enter it on a large scale tomorrow, and I will not take the risk myself. ”
He got the news and knew that the four great holy monks, even Zhu Yuyan might be included, although he was the first-rate martial artist, and because of the hundred battles on the battlefield, he also had the power to fight against the grandmaster, but he didn't dare to enter in a small group to be ambushed.
Xu Ziling was silent.
At this moment, in the distance, which was already nearly dark, a piece of *** appeared, slowly moving closer.
The two of them suddenly turned around and looked at each other, and at this moment, the number of patrols stepped forward, and when they arrived, they hurriedly turned over and dismounted: "General, the king has arrived." ”
Lu Kangshou sat on the second floor of the Dongting Building, Dongting Building is among the many restaurants in the city, belonging to the scale of a small restaurant, but Lu Kangshou loves it quietly, you can look at the scenery of Dongting Lake, and this building existed decades ago, when he was still a gangster, there was a feeling, so he has become a frequent visitor to Guanyuan Tower in the past two years.
Over the years, this building has witnessed his rise and witnessed his brilliance, and every time I came, I was happy, but recently, when I thought of the situation in the gang, I was excited.
The Baling Gang was created by him, famous in the rivers and lakes, dominating the fate of the underworld in Baling County and even Wanli Dongting Lake, originally Xiao Mo joined the gang, but he was just a gangster, although he was the great-grandson of Emperor Xuan of the Western Liang Dynasty, and obtained the family heirloom, but his family was poor when he was young, and when he was young, he was hired to copy books to support his family.
In the Gang, because of his ability to martial arts, in just one year, he was appreciated by him and promoted to the leader of the incense master, but Yang Guang ascended the throne, and the following year Xiao Miao's uncle and aunt were canonized as the queen, that is, Queen Xiao. Xiao Mo began to be appointed as Luo County
And relying on this relationship with the emperor to get on the line, although the gang went further, it also made Xiao Miao's personal power continue to expand, and in just six years, he was above one person, above ten thousand people, and became the second leader.
Lu Kangshou had to promote his henchman Sha Bo as the third master, and he barely maintained his balance by checking and balancing Xiao Miao, and he also knew in his heart that this contradiction would break out sooner or later.
This time the Tang army attacked, the split between himself and Xiao Mo has been made public, no matter what the result is, the decline of the Baling Gang has become a foregone conclusion, and Lu Kangshou can't help but feel a pain in his heart.
At that moment, a slight footstep came into my ears.
Lu Kangshou knew that there was a master approaching.
But Buyin was familiar, it was He Wu, the first general under him, and sure enough, when the door opened, a man came in and said respectfully: "Big boss!"
This man is thin, with a look in his eyes, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his martial arts are close to first-class, and he is the number one general under Lu Kangshou. Twenty-eight this year, very young and promising.
Lu Kangshou looked at this most trusted subordinate in recent years, and remembered that his people had been born and died for the gang in the past few years, so he immediately showed a smile and said, "He Wu, are you ready?"
"The big boss, all ready, five hundred backbones are drawn. All of them are trusted henchmen, as long as the big boss gives an order, they can immediately kill Xiao Mo and put this rebel to death!" He Wu said solemnly.
Lu Kangshou slowly closed his eyes, looked lonely, drank a glass, turned the wine glass upside down on the table, and after a pause, opened his eyes again: "Order." Immediately the whole army rushed to the south gate and immediately went out of the city. ”
"What, big boss?" the order was obviously unexpected by He Wu.
Lu Kangshou stood up, walked slowly to the window, and looked out the window at Dongting Lake on a bright moonlit night. A cool breeze blows from the lake, bringing with it the familiar smell of the lake's water.
The night breeze lifted his spirits, and he returned to his usual demeanor, and said: "There are many strangers in the city, and I have been hesitating, and I hesitated before because I was afraid that Xiao Mo would be too strong. Even if I can kill him, the gang will be divided, and my vitality will be greatly damaged, and I have been hesitating recently, whether I can kill him, and now I know. You can't hesitate any longer, go out of the city immediately, as long as you accept the Tang army, anything can be reversed, and staying in the city has already lost more than you won. ”
The resolute face was disappointed, but immediately said in a deep voice: "Yes, big boss." ”
Lu Kangshou thought to himself: I have been in the rivers and lakes for 30 years, how many winds and waves have passed, how can I be so bullied. Staying in Qingshan, he is not afraid of no firewood, he has already conveyed his decision to the following, positioning Xiao Mo as a rebel, even if he goes out of the city, he has no way to unify the gang, see what he relies on to resist the Tang army?
Thinking of this, he snorted coldly and started downstairs
A bright moon. There was no one on the street, and it was a peaceful and quiet night.
The five hundred elite soldiers did not snort. All followed, these are the guards he has been consolidating the treasure of the gang leader for decades.
After thinking about it, he asked, "Sabo went out of the city to take over the fleet, did any news come?"
As long as the Dongting Water Master is controlled, even in the court of the Tang Dynasty, he will not lose the high-ranking officials, which is the real capital.
But it was at this moment that he suddenly had a warning sign in his heart.
I saw that the door panels of the streets on both sides fell down, and a large number of local gangs emerged, these gangs were also wearing the uniforms of the Baling Gang, but they were wearing red sleeves on their hands to distinguish them, and it was obvious that they were Xiao Miao's descendants.
Lu Kangshou's face was cold, but he was not shocked in his heart, his eyes swept over the eight hundred gangs, and he sneered: "Xiao Miao, are you going to commit a crime and rebel?"
This sentence, deliberately said with internal strength, really shook half of the city, and wherever the sound went, it was quiet in the night, and immediately boiled and noisy.
"The helper is really a decisive person, admire. This loud shout immediately broke the possibility of Xiao Mill's last line of peaceful takeover of the gang, showing Lu Miao's means of turning the clouds and rain, Xiao Mill's face was pale, and he appeared on the opposite side, only to hear an order: "Kill!"
Suddenly, the big man with a sharp weapon rushed over like a wolf and a tiger without saying a word.
Lu Kangshou let out a long laugh, and the cigarette stick in his hand struck out like lightning, and the two people who rushed up first, the sound of the sternum breaking was thrilling, the seven holes spurted blood, the weapon was taken off, and it was thrown backwards like a broken kite by the wind, knocking the big man who was rushing in behind him into a horse on his back, breaking his bones and splitting his flesh, and falling down six or seven, none of which could get up.
And their own gang immediately drew their knives, and suddenly, the shouts of killing filled the entire street.
"Rush to the south gate!" Lu Kangshou ordered, he took the lead, and broke through the corridor, and wherever the cigarette stick in his hand went, no one in the way was spared.
And He Wudi's martial arts are also quite skillful, with a long knife tumbling, slashing and killing several people.
Seeing that the form was good, Lu Kangshou wondered in his heart, his guards were all experienced elites, and Xiao Miao's personal soldiers were inferior, and Xiao Miao's personal soldiers were inferior, this Xiao Miao, he didn't know, why was it still like this?
At this moment, suddenly, a large number of black-clothed people holding long sticks came out from the corner, cutting off the way, and as soon as the battle began, Lu Kangshou immediately felt that this group of black-clothed people had good martial arts and were well-trained.
Seeing the bald head, he was shocked: "Sure enough."
!”
"Bang" sounded, since the smoke stick was blocked, although the two monks on the other side also immediately retreated a few steps, but it was the first time that there was only a slight injury, and at this moment, three long sticks pounced violently. The momentum is violent.
Lu Kangshou was fearless, and the cigarette stick turned into three rod shadows.
"Peng!" The three sticks just shook, but Lu Kang's hand also shook his arm, snorted, and flew sideways.
At this moment, a sword light slashed towards his left flank like a snowflake, and almost at the same time, several sticks attacked directly. Lu Kangshou laughed: "Xiao Miao, you finally did it!"
The internal air on the cigarette stick leaked out, and countless flashes of uncertain rod shadows appeared, and the sound of energetic attacks was endless.
In an instant, Lu Kangshou blocked Xiao Miao's attack respectively, as well as the monk's three sticks in the ground, and the strength was splashing like a mountain rock shattering, Lu Kangshou snorted, and the whole person shook. The three monks immediately retreated, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
Xiao Mo also snorted, turned over and fell, but he was not damaged at all.
Lu Kangshou retreated to the side of his team and said angrily: "Form a formation, see how they break it." ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, only to see a firework fly straight into the sky and explode in mid-air, which was obviously a way to contact the Tang Army. At this moment, he really made up his mind to hand over Baling City, and ordered all the gangs outside the city to accept this order and defect to the Tang army.
Almost at the same time, there was chaos in the city, and the sound of killing broke out one after another, showing that the gang members in the city who were loyal to Lu Kangshou were ordered. Immediately carried out a big scuffle, Lu Kangshou sneered, if it wasn't for the sake of retaining his strength, he would really fight with all his might, even if Xiao Mo had foreign aid, he couldn't easily take him down.
But just then, a door next to it exploded.
"Boom!"
Lu Kang's hand instantly gave birth to a terrible feeling of falling forward. I only felt that the place where I stood turned into a bottomless deep hole and suddenly collapsed. Infinite internal rotation.
Almost at the same time, a sword light appeared violently, like a poisonous snake, and in a flash of lightning, penetrated into Lu Kangshou's chest, and then drilled out from behind. Lu Kangshou let out an earth-shattering scream, retreated, hit the wall with a "bang", and fell down again. Blood splattered out.
"Shadow Swordsman, Heavenly Demon Skill!" Lu Kang's chest spurted blood. Fragments of his heart flew out, and a look of disbelief shot out of his eyes, and he died of anger.
The black-clad assassin disappeared in a flash, but everyone on the street was stunned to see a pair of naked feet under the moon under their skirts, and even the most discerning people could not find any flaws.
A girl in white clothes like snow stood at the entrance like a ghost, her dreamlike miserable eyes fell on Lu Kangshou, her pretty face was as calm as water, and her beautiful eyes, which were more reverie than any dream, swept everyone again, especially those monks and soldiers, and finally her eyes fell on Xiao Miao's face, and the corners of her delicate lips escaped a smile that was softer and more natural than ripples, and said: "I have killed Lu Kangshou, and it is up to you below." ”
Xiao Miao's eyes flashed, and he shouted fiercely: "Kill!"
Suddenly, the combined army of 2,000 monks and gangs rushed straight to more than 400 gangs in other places.
Outside the city, Xu Ziling looked at the fireworks that had not yet dispersed, and heard the sound of killing in the city, and couldn't help but be shocked.
Yang Xuanning stood with his hands in his hands, and Luo Shixin stood respectfully on the side, not seeming to be in a hurry at all: "Xiao Mo has finally made a move, so the time is ripe." ”
"Yes, the king, whether he wins or loses, it doesn't really matter, because he simply doesn't have the time to gather the people in the city to resist our army. ”
"Hehe, that's right, in order to resist our army, you must also have monks and soldiers as the backbone, and you can't get out again, this is really wonderful!" Yang Xuanning said with satisfaction: "It's not in vain that I spent so much time and given so many opportunities to let Xiao Mo do it." ”
After a while, I saw fireworks in the air, with the word "Hu" on it, seeing this, Yang Xuanning laughed, paused, and snorted coldly: "The fish has entered the net, you can start the net." ”
Under an order, several people around suddenly sent out fireworks, this firework was brilliant, and before it was issued, there was another firework flying out ten miles away, so continuous, instantly transmitted to the distance.
Almost at the same time, the army of 12,000 people, divided into four teams, each with a thousand horsemen, each with a crossbow team, with a shout, the iron horsemen arrived, and first surrounded the four gates.
Seeing such a momentum, Xu Ziling couldn't help but change color, and a flash of inspiration suddenly knew that Lu Kang's hand, and even Shabo's life and death, were insignificant, as long as the Baling Gang officially split the civil war, the vitality was greatly damaged, and it proved that the monks and soldiers were in the city, it would be fine.
After this battle, the Baling Gang was scattered, and they could not be the main force to resist the Tang army, and if they wanted to hold Baling City, they could only rely on these monks as the backbone to resist.
First-class masters and grandmasters, maybe in the army, can break through and escape, but second-rate and third-rate monks are absolutely impossible to break through like this, Yang Xuanning waited for so long, just to create a situation where he had to defend the city, and through the consumption of the army, he wanted to wipe out this monk soldier!
Looking at the brilliant stars in the starry sky, Xu Ziling slowly closed his eyes.
Concubine Xuan, Concubine Xuan, in the face of such a situation, what are you going to do?
