Chapter 869: Victory and Courage to Kill the Enemy
The stone bullet smashed on the earthen wall, the wall collapsed with a bang, and the sound of collapse continued to sound, and the entire Hongliuhe Town was shrouded in stone rain.
"Smash it, there are hundreds of houses in the town, see how long Zheng Jun can smash it." Mana Tower and Redogan left the house that had been destroyed by the stone bullets, and carefully came to the basement through the gap between the houses, most of the houses in Hongliuhe Town have basements, and it can even be said that these basements are the real market places, not only Hongliuhe Town, but all the market towns in the Gobi.
He was once the general of Le Changguo, and the vision of the Mana Tower was naturally not bad, when the Western Regions Alliance Army was defeated from Zheng Guo, he led his subordinates to take advantage of the fire to rob, and there were two thunderbolt cars hidden in the basement of Guangju downstairs, so he was no stranger to the ordnance of Zheng Jun's stone-throwing. The mana tower knows that this kind of ordnance is extremely powerful, but the stone bullets fired are both heavy and occupy a position, Zheng Jun came from afar, how could he prepare a large number of stone bullets, a little to avoid the edge, the bullet rain will be exhausted, then Zheng Jun can only rush into the town, and then entangle with them, and when Zheng Jun is entangled, Brado leads people to cover up and kill, Zheng Jun can be broken.
After a pillar of incense, most of the houses in the town were in dilapidation, and the roar of stone bullets seemed to have stopped. Lei Dogan leaned out of the basement, looked around from the broken wall, and said with a smile: "Big brother is like a god, Zheng Jun's stone bomb has been thrown." ”
Mana proudly put down the wine jar in his hand and ordered: "Let the brothers pay attention, Zheng Jun is about to enter the town." ”
This time, the mana tower miscalculated, and countless clay pots rose into the air, and there were many such clay pots in Huazhou, which were used to hold honey fruits. The cracking sound of "crackling" sounded everywhere, and the air was filled with a pungent smell, which was Li Laigao's idea, and it was thrown with clay pots filled with tung oil, which could burn the city.
Lei Doan roared: "It's not good, it's tung oil, Zheng Jun wants to burn the town." ”
As soon as the words fell, countless rockets were shot down, and the town of Hongliuhe was immediately filled with thick smoke and flames everywhere.
Jiang Anyi looked at the smoky Hongliuhe Town and sighed: "Throwing fire bombs is really a sharp weapon for attacking the city, but unfortunately the price of tung oil is too high, so it can only be used occasionally." ”
Pu Tianhao said: "My lord, when I walked in the Western Regions, I knew that there was a kind of black oil produced in the stone mountain of Yuche Country, which was as viscous as lacquer and smelled very bad, but it could be burned, and the local poor people would collect this black oil for lighting. If you can use it to make fire bombs, it should be very cheap. ”
Jiang Anyi was overjoyed and said: "All things are born in nature, it is really wonderful, when you return to Huazhou, you talk to Li Laigao, let him send people to search around, if it can replace tung oil, our army will be like a tiger." ”
In Hongliuhe Town, coughing sounded everywhere, and the horse thieves hiding in the town were choked by the thick smoke and rushed out of the basement, and the war horses neighed and scurried around. Tung oil is very adherent and can burn when it sticks to the ground, and most of the houses in the town are made of wood and stone, and the whole town is lit up after a short time.
Jiang Anyi ordered: "Attack with scattered stones." ”
The ground is covered with gravel, which is very convenient to use. Countless rubble shot out into the air, and the town was full of ghosts and wolves, and Mana said angrily: "Let go of the arrows, and let Brado answer us and escape." ”
It had been a pillar of incense since the arrows sounded, and the stone rain was still falling, and the town was groaning one after another, but Brado's light cavalry did not appear. Redogan said with a pale face: "Karado, this despicable villain abandoned us and fled, big brother, we can't delay any longer, let's run from the dark passage." ”
The exit of the dark passage was set in a recess three miles away, and the Mana Tower secretly pushed open the boulder blocking the entrance of the cave with a dozen or so cronies, and Ledogan looked around and said softly: "No one, go quickly." ”
The stone rain stopped, Zheng Jun began to enter the town, almost without any resistance, Ai'an led his men to kneel on the ground and surrender, and the others saw that the general trend had gone, so they had to follow suit.
Ordered someone to clean up the battlefield and count what was gained, Jiang Anyi asked people to call Xiaohu and Aion, Aion's bald head was covered with black dust, and the sweat rolled down and brushed out white marks, like a courgette.
After calming the two of them for a few words, Jiang Anyi asked, "Why didn't you see the Mana Tower?" ”
Ai'an was both scared and happy, Jiang Anyi had promised to fulfill his promise and give Guangju Building to himself, Guangju Tower belonged to Mana Tower, and Mana Tower might come back at any time to kill himself and recapture Guangju Tower if he didn't die. Now he can only survive in this troubled world by hugging the thigh of Zheng Guojing's envoy tightly.
Hearing Jiang Anyi's question, Ai'an didn't dare to hesitate and said, "There is a secret passage on the Guangju Building of the Mana Tower, and the villain estimates that he escaped from the secret passage. ”
The secret passage was quickly found, Jiang Anyi drilled out of the hole, looked at the boulder that rolled to the side, and said to Jiang Anyong beside him: "You take a thousand people, let Aion lead the way, and fetch the head of the Mana Tower for me." ”
"No!" Jiang Anyong replied loudly. The forty military sticks did not hurt the muscles and bones, for Jiang Anyong, losing face is the most important thing, and now that his brother has given him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, of course he can't miss it.
If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, Jiang Anyong knows that no matter how urgent you are, you have to eat and rest. After giving the order to set off half an hour later, Jiang Anyong called Ai On and his men who had captured the Mana Tower, and carefully interrogated them where the Mana Tower might go and where the horse thieves who had not entered the town had gone.
Ai An is more anxious than Jiang Anyong to kill these people, especially the Mana Tower, so that no one asks about the ugly thing about his surrender to the Zheng army, and in the future, recruit troops and horses to strengthen his power, and replace the Mana Tower, as for what is wrong with being a Zheng person's dog, it is not easy to survive in the Gobi, and only by living first can we talk about other possibilities.
With the existence of Neiying, the search for Hongliuhe Town became very smooth, and before Jiang Anyong led the army to set off, He Xigui was full of excitement and reported to Jiang Anyi: "Twenty-three horse thieves were killed, forty-six were wounded, four hundred and sixty-seven people were captured, three hundred and twenty-six war horses, and the estimated value of the money and goods found was more than one million taels, as well as many ordnance. ”
Hearing that the property was more than one million taels, Jiang Anyi let out a sigh and said with a smile: "How many merchants have been robbed by these horse thieves and accumulated so much property, this difficulty has passed a few years ago." ”
He Xigui said with a smile: "If you don't have any money in the future, you will come to suppress the horse thieves and keep it full."
There is a gravel mountain thirty miles away from Hongliuhe Town, the eroded stone wall is like a knife like a forest, the whistling west wind passes through the stone, sending out a burst of ghost howling sound, and is called "ghost howling forest" by the horse thief. Carado took more than 600 people to rest in the ghost howling forest, and when the smoke rose in Hongliuhe Town, Brado left without saying a word, and the horse thieves behind him left the rescue behind, and the fool would go to fight with Zheng Jun.
The terrain of the Ghost Howling Forest is complex and cavety, and many horse thieves hide valuable things here, and Brado hides a lot of gold and silver here, and if he wants to flee for his life, of course he must take it away. More than 600 people, except for Brado, who has more than 100 people, the rest of the 500 people are divided into seven groups, at this time, the combination is beneficial for both sides, while it is time to eat, Carado called the other seven leaders to discuss what to do in the future.
Halfway through the meal, Mana came with more than a dozen people, and when Ledogan saw Brado, he drew his knife and stepped forward desperately, it was Karado who instigated to fight with Zheng Jun, and he was the one who fled when he saw that the situation was not good, and this kid clearly sold "a gust of wind" to Zheng Jun and profited from it. Of course, Karado's subordinates will not watch, more than 100 people will surround the Mana Tower and others and will be killed, and some people next to him can't look past it and come out to persuade peace, after all, Brado is the first to lose.
The hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, the mana tower drinks Lei Duoan, this loss is admitted, and he will find an opportunity to take revenge in the future. Everyone discussed the future whereabouts, some people thought that they would defect to the big gangs such as Black Smoke, some people thought that it was better to start anew, and some people thought that when Zheng Jun withdrew and returned to Hongliuhe Town, there was no unified opinion.
After discussing until dark, there was still no idea, and finally Brado said: "Since everyone can't talk about it, we will go our separate ways tomorrow morning, and we will meet again." "The night in the Gobi is very cold, and no one will walk at night until the last resort, so the horse thieves will find shelter to rest and wait until dawn tomorrow to go their separate ways.
Ai On his horse, he shivered from the cold, and pointed to the dark and gloomy place in front of him: "General Jiang, there is the Ghost Howling Forest in front, and the Mana Tower has fled inside. ”
Before leaving, Jiang Anyi was not worried about his younger brother, so he asked He Xigui to bring another six hundred men and horses to go together, Jiang Anyong suffered a loss and did not dare to be reckless again, and asked: "How many exits are there in the Ghost Howling Forest?" ”
"If you want to ride a horse, you can only go in and out, and if you want to walk everywhere, you can escape." Aion shook his nose and glanced enviously at the army of soldiers in leather jackets, gloves, and felt, who were still in good spirits in the cold wind. Jiang Anyong discussed with He Xigui and decided to block the entrance and exit and startle the snake.
The sound of the trumpet was particularly sad in the cold wind, and the horse thieves were awakened, and they all mounted their horses and rushed out, to meet their rain of arrows, both the Mana Tower and Brado knew that when it came to life and death, they had to rush out to survive. No one thought of escaping on foot, and without horses on the Gobi, the chance of survival was better than fighting to the death.
Zheng Jun accompanied him with oil cans, and the entrance and exit of the Ghost Howling Forest were burning with raging fires, and the adhesion of tung oil was very strong, even if it was blown by the wind on the ground, it would not be extinguished. Zheng Jun was fifty steps away from the flames, the crossbow arrows were facing the exit, Jiang Anyong carefully looked at every horse thief who rushed out, and clearly showed the appearance of the mana tower in his mind, it was this horse thief who let himself suffer forty military sticks, and he wanted to get back the face he lost.
Mana Tower and the others rushed out among five or six hundred people, and the breakthrough entrance was exactly where Jiang Anyong was. Thirty or forty people were shot down by a rain of arrows, others rushed to the front, dozens more fell in front of the shield gun array, and the horse thieves had to fight for their lives in front of the Zheng army, who was waiting for the battle.
Jiang Anyong saw the mana tower in the crowd, and with a long roar, he urged the horse to move forward, and the light horsemen behind him rode forward, and the two sides were entangled together. Mana Tower also saw Jiang Anyong, this Zheng general who was teased by himself during the day seemed to hold a grudge and wanted to find himself desperately, if he could catch him, he might be able to drink Zheng Jun to get out of the way and escape.
With a wave of his hand at Lei Duoan, Lei Duoan understood, rode his horse to the side, and the mana tower waved his stick and touched Jiang Anyong's spear. With a sound of "dang", the iron rod and spear swung away, and Lei Duoan killed from the side, and the scimitar in his hand was inserted into Jiang Anyong's ribs.
Jiang Anyong was more careful, his body twisted the scimitar and went into the air, and the iron rod smashed towards Jiang Anyong's head with a vicious roar. Jiang Anyong urged the horse, the horse rushed forward, his body fell, and the spear stabbed out, piercing the chest of the Fali Tower, fighting for the first line. The spear pierced through the back from the front chest of the mana tower, and the iron rod fell weakly, and Jiang An Yongyi lifted the mana tower from the horse with great force and threw it towards Lei Duoan.
Lei Doan screamed miserably, and wanted to reach out to hug the mana tower, but was swept by Jiang Anyong's shot, and his spine was broken with a "horn", and he fell off the horse. The horses behind them stomped straight by, blood splattering. Jiang Anyong is like a killing god possessed, ruthless, the horse thieves were picked down one after another, and after killing the horse thieves, he circled the horse and pursued, chasing ten miles away.
In the battle, 672 horse thieves were killed, 369 were seriously wounded, 209 were captured, and less than 50 escaped.
