Chapter 33: The Raid
The moon was nice tonight, and the silver moonlight was shining all over the earth. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info has entered late autumn, and it seems very quiet without birds and insects.
A pair of soldiers were surrounding the fire at the head of the martial arts city, and they were wearing linen clothes with different eyes. Some are new, some are old, and the blades in their hands are also different. The burly man with the horizontal knife is obviously in the team, and the rest of the thinner ones are all holding big sticks with metal heads, and some are simply big sticks. )。
These people gathered around the campfire, and several tiles leaned against soybeans. From time to time, someone pinched a small handful of salt and sprinkled it on it, and the rich aroma made the soldiers swallow their saliva. Two jars of muddy wine, constantly passing between them. On a cold day, there's nothing more pleasant than a roast and a drink, except for a good night's sleep.
"Boss, we've been in martial arts for three days. I have never heard of letting the brothers let go of their hands and feet, and the brothers came to join the army to make a fortune. This doesn't allow robbery, brothers make a fart of money, it's ......! A sharp-mouthed man sat next to the team, took a sip of wine, spit out the lees in his mouth, and said.
"Second brother, don't mess around, you don't see those heads on the city wall. I don't want your brothers to watch your head hang on the walls! Another man took the wine jar, drank a big mouthful of roasted soybeans and said.
"Third child, why do you look like a. In the past, we sat outside on a cold day and ate roasted soybeans? Although it is not as big fish and meat as it is every day, there is also food, drink and sleep. Lao Tzu hasn't touched the girls for more than ten fucking days, Lao Tzu is here to be a soldier, not a monk. ”
"Second brother, isn't there a military judge with a law enforcement team? If they get caught, you don't want to do that! The third man pointed to the human heads hanging on the city wall, and the wind blew people's heads on the city wall from time to time. There was a subtle sound, and the night sounded a little creepy.
"You just don't have eggs, you're not afraid of Lao Tzu. After a while, Lao Tzu went down to the city, and he had already taken aim at it. The third house on Xiejie has a beautiful girl. His mother-in-law is also very good, if you are afraid that you will not go, you will go with me. As soon as the second boss greeted, a few guys immediately responded.
"Fuck off! You're fucking dead, when can't you play with pussies? It's just that we are in the army, and we can't get any oil and water. How can this be done, everyone is here to make a fortune when they become soldiers. Unexpectedly, his mother really became a big-headed soldier. The big man with the horizontal knife poured a sip of wine, and the lees flowed down the corners of his mouth, which was very disgusting.
"Boss, you'd rather come up with a charter. The brothers have long been depressed and are thinking about making some gains. Li Sangongzi's rules here are too big, and the brothers are not happy. When the second child saw the boss talking, he immediately complained. When he first came to join the army, he was extremely reluctant. It was the third man who said that he could make a fortune in the future by joining the army. But in the past ten days of joining the army, let alone getting rich, even Brother Tong has never seen one.
"I thought, there is a family in the main street that is very rich. Why don't we fuck tonight, as long as the brothers do things secretly. Let's get a ticket and leave, there should be no big deal! ”
"Boss, if you are ...... by the Judge Advocate General!" The third child reminded with some concern that he had just cut down more than a dozen looters at noon today.
"I'm afraid of a bird, let's sneak in in the middle of the night. When they asked for the whereabouts of the money, they made all the people in their family. If the group of grandsons from the Judge Advocate General's Office are looking for trouble, our brothers will simply take the money and fly away. It's really embarrassing to stay here. The boss grabbed a handful of fried soybeans and chewed "Gaba" and "Gaba".
"Listen to the eldest brother, if the news leaks. Let's just fucking go back to the cottage, anyway, we don't want to fucking live like this again. The second child took the wine jar and poured a big sip. The third child saw that he was alone, and he swallowed back what he wanted to say.
The moon burrowed into a cloud, and the sky darkened. It seems that the moon fairy doesn't like these people to discuss robbery very much.
These guys who talk about robbery are only drinking, but no one is paying attention. Bands of dark shadows, wearing leather armor, were rapidly approaching the wall. Carrying a cloud ladder on his shoulder, Wugong County has no moat. In this way, these people crept under the city, and the ladder was quickly erected. Except for the slight sound of being erected on the city walls, everything proceeded in silence.
"Boss, brothers are still following you to be happy in the mountains, where is it like this! Woo......! The second master burped, walked to the edge of the city wall, unbuttoned his pants and peed down. Before he finished speaking, he was covered by a big hand in his stinky mouth. As soon as my neck was cold, something hot splashed on my chin.
As soon as he was pushed, he fell straight down to the city. During the short fall, he saw a group of armor soldiers climbing up the ladder. I wanted to shout, but a large stream of blood gushed out of my mouth. There is no room for him to make any noise!
"Poof" The body smashed on the ground loudly, and the boss laughed and shouted: ", second brother, you won't drink too much and go down to the city!" Before he could turn around, a bolt of a crossbow bolt burst out of his forehead. As soon as his body was crooked, he fell into the bonfire. Frightened, the soldiers next to him scattered!
The soldiers looked into the darkness in horror, but they didn't expect countless crossbow arrows to suddenly gush out of the darkness. These soldiers, who had just been discussing robbery, were immediately shot to the ground.
"Help! Spare your life! "The third child is more clever, and he didn't stand up when everyone stood up. Fear made him instinctively fall to his knees and beg for mercy, hoping that the fellows who had touched him in the dark would let him go.
Where did Sang Xian allow him to call like this, a brisk step rushed up and the knife fell, and a big human head rose to the sky.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the third child's plea for mercy still alarmed the nearby soldiers. In fact, there were 1,000 men guarding this wall. But now there are less than 100 people on duty in the city, and even these more than 100 people are also slipping away, secretly looking for a place to sleep. Even some of the bold ones sneaked down the city wall to find those half-hidden private meetings.
Although the third child's voice was abrupt, there were only dozens of people who really ran out of the city tower.
"Up!" Sang Xian did not hesitate at all, and waved the horizontal knife in his hand. Behind him, the armor soldiers rushed forward like wolves, and the screams immediately became a mess. These stragglers who slept in a daze, where are the elite opponents of the Great Sui Hundred Battles. In an instant, he was cut into a rolling gourd.
Such a thing happened almost simultaneously on the three city walls in the southeast, north and south, and countless Sui soldiers and soldiers poured onto the city walls almost at the same time. When the gates are opened, the form is completely uncontainable. Those Sui troops in the Xiliu battalion seemed to be tigers descending from the mountains headlong, and those rabble recruited by Li Xiuning and Li Shentong in a hurry were their opponents.
It was only a slight touch, and it immediately collapsed. Almost all of them fled to Simon, where there was no fight.
"General Xiang, it's not good, the officers and soldiers are coming in, let's run!" The soldiers kicked open the door, and Xiang Shanzhi was still shaking on a white flowery body. This scare, the work under the crotch was immediately entrusted, and it is really a question whether it can be used in the future.
"Fuck, you're crazy. Where did the officers and soldiers come from, Lao Tzu discounted your legs! "Being disturbed by someone to do a good thing, Xiang Shanzhi is so angry that his eyes are about to pop out.
"Uncle, you heard that the shouting and killing outside has become loud. The officers and soldiers came in, and everyone else ran away. Let's run, too! "This pro-soldier is Xiang Shanzhi's nephew, no wonder others ran away and he came to tell Xiang Shanzhi.
Xiang Shanzhi listened attentively, and sure enough, there was a shout of killing outside. I immediately found a pair of pants to put on, and ran outside without bothering to get dressed.
When the two came to the stable, they couldn't help but curse their mother loudly. Those guys took advantage of the chaos to steal the horses out of the city, and even Xiang Shanzhi's mount was ridden away. There was no way, the uncle and nephew could only run outside on foot.
When I went out into the street, I saw a chaotic flow of people. The soldiers under his command are like headless flies. However, it seems that more people are running in the direction of the West Gate. Xiang Shanzhi was pulled by his nephew and also ran towards the east gate. Anyway, there are a lot of shirtless people on the street, and no one laughs at anyone.
Panting and running to the east gate, he saw that the gate of the east gate was opened. The black hole was like the mouth of a monster, and people kept running into it, as if they had been devoured by a monster.
"Uncle, let's go!" Xiang Shanzhi faintly felt that something was wrong, but he was dragged by his nephew and ran out helplessly. At this time, people's brains are confused. Whichever way the flow of people goes, the majority of people will also go.
Just ran out of the city gate for only about two miles, Xiang Shanzhi felt that his lungs were panting as if pulling bellows. I couldn't hear anything in my ears, and the only thing I could hear was my own heavy wheezing. The legs seemed to be filled with lead, and every step seemed extremely difficult.
"Uncle, hurry up, someone is catching up from behind." Fortunately, he had his nephew to support him, but Xiang Shanzhi was still too tired. sat on the ground and shouted, "His grandmother's, Lao Tzu won't run away." If someone comes, let them hack Lao Tzu to death! ”
As soon as his butt hit the ground, he immediately lay on the ground like an arrow. Listening with his ears close to the ground, his face suddenly turned pale. Pulling his nephew's head and changing direction without looking back, he ran towards the nearest grove.
"Uncle, you ...... just now!" The little nephew asked a little puzzled.
", there's cavalry. Let's hurry into the woods, or we'll be trampled into a pulp by the horses. "Xiang Shanzhi mixed in the Sui army and participated in the Battle of Liaodong. He is one of the few people in this chaotic team who has experience in war. As soon as he lay on the ground and heard it, he knew that a large force of cavalry was attacking.
No wonder there were battles on the south, south, and south sides, but no one attacked the west gate. It turned out to be a typical siege of three missing one, giving people the hope of escaping, and then being arbitrarily killed by the Sui cavalry. His body is also considered strong, but he is too tired to run for several miles in a row. At this time, how could a two-legged man outrun a four-legged horse.
As soon as the uncle and nephew entered the grove, there was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves. Then, under the moonlight, countless knights appeared. The men had bows in their hands, and when they saw them running, they shot them with their bows and arrows. The killing efficiency was not ordinarily high, and after a while, corpses were piled up on both sides of the road.
Xiang Shanzhi lay nervously in the woods, and he didn't dare to take a breath. I was afraid that I was panting loudly, and I would invite those terrifying cavalry to take my life.
When the sky was bright, Li Jing rode a high-headed horse into the martial arts city. The streets were littered with corpses, and many were killed in the streets with bare buttocks before they even had time to put on their pants. The further east you go, the denser the corpses become. Outside the east gate, it was even more terrifying, and there were corpses lying everywhere as far as the eye could see. It is said that there are no less than 5,000 thieves who occupy martial arts, and it seems that what is said is true.
Sang Xian was covered in blood, and the horizontal knife in his hand was like a saw. On the edge of the crumbling blade, there was still a trace of minced meat.
"General Sang has worked hard, and he has to be a fierce general like the general to attack the city." Li Jing got off the horse and hugged his fists at Sang Xian. Sang Xian is Qu Tutong's favorite general, if he hadn't asked Ying to take the infantry to fight, Li Jingke would not have moved him.
"Humph! Half a month ago, my brother died on the official road outside the Hosoliu camp. The head was split in half, and today Lao Tzu personally hacked to death more than 20 rebels. Brothers' spirits in heaven can also be at peace. "No wonder Sang Xian rushed to do this kind of dangerous and tiring thing.
"In last night's battle, nearly 4,000 enemies were killed. More than 800 prisoners were captured, and except for the bandit leader Xiang Shanzhi, who was on the run, the rest of the felons were either captured or killed. General Lee really has a brilliant plan! The subordinates are willing to take the lead for the general, and they will not be subordinate! Sang Xian was also unambiguous, and immediately surrendered his hand to Li Jing, expressing respect for Li Jing's art of war.
"The stubborn bandits have grown to 30,000 or 40,000 people so quickly, which the old man did not expect. But you don't have to worry, the newly recruited guys, both physically and in martial arts, are far from our soldiers, you see, we killed more than 5,000 in one night. If Chai Shao is dizzy, send men and horses to reinforce him.
Hey......! Don't go back to those who are being reinforced! Hahaha! Li Jing let out a sinister smile, which made Sang Xian feel uncomfortable.
"Originally, I was afraid that they would all gather in Juxian County and become a lump. Unexpectedly, they scattered their forces in the newly occupied city. This is very good, it just happened to give the old man a chance to break through! Li Jing couldn't hide the smug look on his face, and he just tried his hand at it. With just one raid, the 5,000 rebels were wiped out. If this continues, it won't take fifteen days for Li Jing to become the overlord on the Guanzhong Plain!
"What is the general going to do next, are we going to Huxian, or Zhouzhi, Shiping ......!" Sang Xian probed and said, he thought that the killing last night was simply too perfect, and he needed to practice more when he had time, so as not to temporarily cling to his feet, and if he was defeated, then he would not be a human being in the future.
