Chapter Eighty-Five: Attacking Overnight
It was the night moon and the dark wind, and the soldiers guarding the gate still closed the city gate early and dispersed, leaving only an old soldier to sit alone on the city tower, snorting warm wine in his clothes, enjoying the loneliness of the long night alone. When the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info was getting better, he heard some strange noises under the city, probably some wild dogs sheltering from the wind, and the old man drunkenly walked to the battlement and looked down, and suddenly his body turned into a cold sweat.
By the faint starlight, the old man saw neat rows of black shadows standing under the city wall, as if someone had a horse, but except for the occasional snort or two, he could hardly hear any sound, as if the ghostly ghost rode from the depths of the Nine Shadows. The old pawn was frightened, and was about to light a beacon fire and sound a gong to warn, when a soft voice came from behind him: "Don't be nervous, they are the friendly soldiers I invited." ”
The old pawn looked back and saw that the county commander and Pan, the county Cheng Qiuming, and the county lieutenant Cui Jie were standing side by side behind him, so that he hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Cui Jie waved his hand impatiently: "Don't make these false courtesies at this time, open the city gate quickly." ”
Qiu Ming walked out of the city quickly, and when he saw the two generals leading the army, he was overjoyed and said, "Wen Yuan, Ling Ming, are you all here?" ”
Dian Wei grinned and was about to speak, but Zhang Liao took out a military order and handed it to He Pan: "General Dian Wei under the command of General Huangfu and Sima Zhang Liao of the marching army came to Dengzhou County to exterminate the Yellow Turban remnants, and Wanggui County will help." ”
He Pan checked the military order, leaned over and arched his hand and said: "No, the subordinate officer will obey the military order." The two generals have come from afar to work hard, so please go into the city to rest. ”
Qiu Ming said with a smile: "No need, the moon is dark tonight, just take down the Peng family in one go, if it is delayed for a long time, the Peng family will have to take precautions when they get the news, but they will have to spend more hands and feet." ”
Zhang Liao said: "What the young general said is extremely true, we have already rested in Zhenping, and we can immediately set off to fight for thieves." ”
He Panjian saw that the general seemed to be extremely respectful to Qiu Ming, and the shock in his heart was really incomprehensible, but he hid his emotions well and asked, "I don't know how the county office will cooperate with the army's actions?" ”
Qiu Ming said: "Captain Cui and I went to Peng's house with the army to break the enemy, and County H ordered to stay in the city to prevent the remaining bandits from taking the opportunity to make trouble, is it okay?" He Pan Cuijie nodded in goodness.
In the thick night, Peng Zhuang, which covers a vast area, is like a dormant black iron beast, sharpening its minions in the shadows to give a fatal blow. Cui Jie pointed to the giant beast and said: "As far as Xia Guan knows, the Peng family's direct family lives in this Zhuangzi, but they have a private army of several hundred people stationed in the high-lying town in the north, and there are also many outlaws in the Mocheng in the south. So we need to be quick to solve the problem so that we don't have too many dreams at night. ”
Qiu Ming thought for a while and asked Zhang Liao, "How many of you came?" ”
Zhang Liao responded: "Three thousand fine horsemen, seven thousand foot soldiers." ”
Qiu Ming said with a smile: "Enough, let's not rush to eat Pengzhuang first, lead the north and south to help, eat the reinforcements first, and then cut the grass and eradicate the roots." In this way, Zhang Liao and Wei Yan each took 4,000 men to ambush immediately, and Dian Wei and I took 2,000 soldiers to Pengzhuang to disturb, and you quickly came over to meet us after eating the reinforcements. ”
Zhang Wei and the others agreed to go, but Cui Jie was a little panicked: "Zecheng, Pengzhuang has a lot of troops, and it is too big for you to take only 2,000 men and horses." ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Don't worry, the middle road is just a feint at the beginning, but the sergeant can cut down trees to make more torches, and light them all in front of the village, then Peng Long doesn't know the reality of our army, and he will never dare to go out of the village in the dark." Cui Jie thought about it and agreed.
Peng Long, the head of the Peng family, had just finished tossing the newly bought two-room concubine, and looked at himself comfortably: "Such a majestic and majestic man is really rare in the world." The two concubines endured the pain and supported him left and right and said: "The old man is fierce and fierce, and the great husband is also comparable." ”
At this moment, several Zhuang Ding ran over, and one of them looked over and saw the bodies of the two concubines bullying Shuang Shengxue, and suddenly their hearts fluttered, and they were speechless on the ground. Peng Long was furious, picked up the golden lamp on the table and threw it fiercely, smashing the man to the point that his brain burst out, and he couldn't live with convulsions. The rest of the Zhuang Ding were so frightened that they hurriedly pressed their heads to the ground, not daring to make any extra movements.
Peng Long slowly drank the wine in the cup, let the two concubines serve and put on their clothes, and then asked sullenly, "What's the matter?" ”
A bold voice said: "The head of the family, the old lady has something to do, so I asked you to come over." ”
Peng Long stood up in shock: "Bastard, why didn't the prince tell me earlier?" Lead the way. He pushed the two delicate concubines and hurried out of the room.
Peng Taigong once did a Yangzhou assassin history, with his unremitting efforts, Yangzhou finally withered, ten rooms and nine emptiness, pirates together, a hundred Yue rebelled, now Peng Taigong recalled the youth of this battle, but also a little regretful that he was too light, did not scrape off a few layers of Yangzhou's land.
When Peng Long walked into the inner room, Peng Taicheng shook his head and chanted: "Those who are in the twilight of spring, the spring clothes are ready, there are five or six champions, six or seven children, bathing in Yi, dancing in the wind, and returning with a song." Peng Long said with a smile: "The old ancestor has this Yaxing today, I don't know why he called his grandson over?" ”
Peng Taigong threw down the bamboo slip in his hand: "Peng Long, now that you are the head of the family, there are many things that need to be pondered. I heard that your third uncle had a letter the day before yesterday, why didn't you show it to me? ”
Peng Long said with a smile: "It turns out that the ancestor is asking this, in fact, it is not a big deal, the third uncle said that Zuo Zhonglang recently wrote to Huangfu Song that the Yellow Turban Peng Tuoyu Department has risen again, and I specially asked to send troops to clean it up, so that we can act more restrained." I have already instructed me not to go out hunting again for this period of time, and to talk about it after this moment. ”
Peng Taigong nodded: "Peng Tuoyu, I don't seem to have heard of it......" Suddenly, a big man ran into the inner room quickly: "Taigong, the head of the family, the big thing is not good, someone is attacking the village." ”
Peng Taigong climbed the village wall with difficulty, and when the night wind blew, he couldn't help coughing loudly. Peng Long hurriedly took off his coat and covered him. Peng Taigong looked under the wall, couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and slashed at Peng Long with a few crutches: "Evil obstacles, it must be that you are doing nonsense outside and causing so many enemies." ”
Peng Long didn't dare to struggle, he stiffened up a few times, and also leaned against the wall to look down. I saw the torches all over the mountains in front of the village gate, and I couldn't count how many people there were, and in front of the torches were many cavalry lined up, but they were covered by the firelight and couldn't see their faces. The more Peng Long looked at it, the more frightened he became, and shouted loudly: "Which mountain is the hero below, I, Peng Long, have no grievances with you in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, I am afraid that there is some misunderstanding when you come to Pengzhuang, right?" ”
He shouted several times, but the cavalry below only said nothing, and the light of the fire reflected on their cold armor, and it seemed that it was a continuous fire.
