Chapter 19: Deception
Xia Shou, that is, the summer king's face turned green: "This group of bandits ......"
"What are you talking about...... Kill one is enough, kill two and earn one! Zhang Tianyi gritted his teeth.
"All up, those who get the heads of these two people will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!" Xu Deyi quietly retreated in the escort of a group of personal guards.
The reward of ten taels of silver made the bandits red-eyed with excitement, and they rushed up one after another, and the courtyard was crowded in an instant.
The difference in the number of people is more than ten times, which is enough to grind the most powerful heroes to death.
After a while, Zhuang Ding beside Zhang Tianyi was killed and wounded, Xia Shou and Zhang Tianyi were surrounded in the main room, and there was blood everywhere on their chests, and they didn't know how much of it was someone else's and how many were their own wounds.
The two of them leaned against the corner, the end of the road had appeared, they looked at each other, and said miserably: "The two of us...... I'm afraid I'm going to have to explain it here......"
Seeing this, the bandits who rushed in seemed to see two big silver ingots beckoning towards them, and shouted: "The silver is mine!" ”
"The reward is mine!"
"Suffer Death......"
At this moment, outside the fortress, which was inaudible to everyone in the house, a vast horn sounded, and the sound of neat footsteps sounded slowly.
……
A quarter of an hour ago.
In the distance, Qi Shan, who was hurrying on, said to Gu Yanwu and Xu Huanwu: "Ahead, there is a fierce battle!" ”
Seeing this, Gu Yanwu said: "Looking at the situation, I'm afraid this is a fierce battle with thousands of people. Ordinary country fighting is not at this level, go check it out! ”
"Let's go!" Xu Huanwu also sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly ordered.
It wasn't long before the scouts returned.
"There should be nothing wrong with the torture not long ago! What is the head of the eighteen villages of Taihang, and the owner is here! According to the thieves who surrendered, there is a good mountain villa near Xia Shouzuo, which is the place called Nuan Huizhuang! Xu Huanwu arched his hand towards Gu Yanwu and said his guess.
Gu Yanwu stood on the horse, watching the soldiers of the Royal Guards Legion down the slope towards Nuanhuizhuang, and bowed slightly: "It seems that there are still remnants of the bandits we have encircled and suppressed." There are at least a thousand more people here, all of whom are part of the organized fighting force. The task force is in charge of the attack! ”
"Yes, Order! I'm going to go with Qi Shan. Now there are fewer thieves, and the actions are more peaceful for a while. "Xu Huanwu's current identity is Qi Shan's partner, the chief military advisor of the task force. According to the command level, Gu Yanwu led the military and political affairs in this separate mission, with Qi Shan as the military commander and Xu Huanwu as the chief military advisor.
After the two talked, it didn't take long for the battle to begin at the foot of the mountain.
This unit of soldiers and horses belonged to the Royal Guards Legion, and after being stationed by Zhu Cihong to Li Jiantai's side, it had a new name: Task Force.
The task force had 300 soldiers and 600 auxiliaries, and the auxiliaries were the baggage battalions, which were usually horse-drawn carts, and they were all very excited when they were really about to be sent to the battlefield. In the Ming army under Zhu Cihong's tent, the difference is very stark. Soldiers who can fight are well treated, have many opportunities for meritorious service, and are promoted quickly. Although the baggage battalion died less and ate well, it rarely had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. If you can't make meritorious service, your treatment is worse than that of a soldier, and more importantly, if you don't have the opportunity to make meritorious service, you can only be an auxiliary soldier for a lifetime.
Now that they have been organized into the task force, the auxiliary soldiers of these baggage battalions immediately rushed forward with a roar as soon as they saw that they had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and were the remnants of bandits who had slipped through the net.
Nuanhuizhuang is a big village of about 2,000, it is easy to break him, but it is difficult to completely occupy and control it. Not to mention anything else, after the thousands of soldiers were sprinkled in, there was not even a single person to guard the door.
Xu Deyi didn't feel that he needed someone to guard the door in the back.
After some observation, Qi Shan, who presided over the attack, smiled, seized this opportunity, and led people towards Xu Deyi's back road.
In just a quarter of an hour, Xu Deyi felt that the back road was copied, and all kinds of ups and downs gathered together, and when it finally fell on Xu Deyi, he only felt that his chrysanthemum seemed to have been broken through by the eighteen Arhats.
The soldiers of the task force were eager to make meritorious contributions, and as soon as they saw the fighters, they were unforgiving, carrying spears and knives to kill in formation, very fierce, and the bandits of Xu Deyi, who were still happy, had not yet reacted, and they were even more confused and rushed to kill with hatred.
Like a long stick, the soldiers of the task force rushed directly from the main gate of the dilapidated fortress all the way to Zhang Tianyi's courtyard.
Not only that, but the leading soldiers were even more red-eyed, and they couldn't stop shouting when they grabbed a few bandits: "Where is Xia Shou?" ”
"And where's the summer king?"
……
Xu Deyi soon became the sandwiched part of the sandwich burger.
Of course, he wouldn't understand what a sandwich burger was. But being copied from the back and defeated, he still thought of a similar word very quickly: black eats black?
"Which cottage soldier is so strong? Wait! Xu Deyi rushed into the main room, and ordered the soldiers with red eyes who wanted to take down ten taels of silver.
But at this time, the soldiers had already killed each other, and they were secretly competing with each other, and they didn't know how much they were thinking about, where to return Li Hui and Xu Deyi.
Seeing this, Xu Deyi didn't panic, took a slight breath, and roared like thunder: "Whoever saved Zhang Tianyi and Xia Shou, Lao Tzu gave him fifty taels of silver!" ”
Airplanes......
There was silence in the room, and all the soldiers were stunned at first, and after they understood what Xu Deyi meant, they suddenly turned around one after another, drew their knives and pointed at Xu Deyi, with a vigilant expression.
"What do you see? Lao Tzu is the one who gives silver, pointing a knife at Lao Tzu? Don't want to do it anymore or don't want the silver anymore? Xu Deyi looked unhappy.
A cadre of soldiers looked at each other in confusion.
Seeing that the atmosphere of playing dog brains in the room dissipated, Xu Deyi breathed a sigh of relief, and regardless of these subordinates who were full of muscles turned into Qian Yan, they separated everyone, looked at Zhang Tianyi and Xia Shou, and squeezed out a smile: "Two heroes...... As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other......"
"Kill so many people in my Zhuangzi, and still don't know each other? If you, the dog, are willing, I wouldn't mind visiting your door! Zhang Tianyi gasped, roared, and a mouthful of saliva flew out.
Xu Deyi still heard this, still with a gentle smile on his face, looked at Xia Shou and said, "King Xia, it's better to persuade your friends......
Xia Shou really grabbed Zhang Tianyi according to his words, and whispered in his ear: "Don't be reckless yet, no matter what, there is a chance that this life can stay today." Don't get excited, I'll deal with ......"
When Zhang Tianyi heard this, he snorted coldly and didn't continue to spray.
At this moment, Xia Shou turned his head and arched his hand towards Xu Deyi: "General Xu, you also know that we have just fought hard for a long time, since we don't know each other if we don't fight, we will make friends with each other." Why don't you let the brothers out of the house first, and then wait for me some wound plasters? ”
"It's a well-deserved gift! Do it! Xu Deyi waved his hand, and a cadre of soldiers was cleared from the house by Xu Deyi's personal soldiers, and after a while, a few small bottles of plasters were handed over.
Xia Shou unscrewed the lid, sniffed it, and slowly bowed his head: "No problem......"
The two of them were not in a hurry to use the plaster, and continued to stare at Xu Deyi. Obviously, it's time for Xu Deyi to make his meaning clear.
Xu Deyi looked at it quietly, saw this, and said, "I see, there seem to be some new friends outside the door, among them, someone wants to find the summer king." I see, among them, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding, ahahaha......"
"Is it the brothers from the stockade who have come out?" Xia Shou was overjoyed when he heard this.
When Zhang Tianyi heard this, his heart suddenly relieved, and he said in his heart: This level can be regarded as over, and I am afraid that this life can be picked up. After a while, I can find an opportunity to concoct this dog official fiercely!
"No matter what......" Xu Deyi coughed lightly and said, "This misunderstanding is best resolved and resolved......
……
At the same time, outside the hospital.
"A team starts from the side door!"
"The second team is the main back door!"
"The rest, follow me through the main entrance!"
"Kill!"
……
Outside the courtyard, a burst of shouting sounded, followed by a neat shout of killing.
Hearing this killing sound, Xu Deyi's heart sank suddenly, knowing that the enemy had already entered the core area of the fortress, and as for the ending of those subordinates outside, he could understand it without guessing.
As soon as he thought of this, Xu Deyi became even more humble: "What is rude here...... The petty officer is willing to carry silver on his back...... Three thousand taels! ”
"You ......" Zhang Tianyi looked angry and very dissatisfied, but Xia Shou stopped him before he finished speaking.
Xia Shou said: "With the weight of my brother's family, how can I look at this mere three thousand taels? We are waiting for brotherhood...... Gotta increase the price! Five thousand taels! ”
"Good!" Xu Deyi was categorical: "Please also ask the two of you to resolve the misunderstanding!" ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Xia Shou smiled.
Zhang Tianyi pointed four fingers towards Xia Shou, Xia Shou nodded, he understood that this was what Zhang Tianyi meant by dividing it into forty. Although this is Zhang Tianyi's home field, if it weren't for Xia Shou's reinforcements, don't think about these five thousand taels, it would be good if the head could be saved.
The two walked out of the main house under the leadership of Xu Deyi easily, intending to join the reinforcements from outside.
Just as the two of them were thinking about how to spend the money next, suddenly, an angry shout sounded, followed by a pumping sound.
Xia Shou almost subconsciously retreated and knocked Zhang Tianyi to the ground.
"Go online!"
A loud cry came, and a large net found out of nowhere quickly fell from the sky, netting the summer king and Zhang Tianyi's big owner into it, and then dozens of eyes poked down, holding down Zhang Tianyi and the summer king, who were good at martial arts.
Xia Shou's eyes were split: "You cheat!" ”
"Call for reinforcements!" Zhang Tianyi roared angrily, feeling that more than a dozen wooden sticks on his body were about to poke his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.
The two people who fell to the ground looked at the sky, saw a big head poking out, looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "You two are already at the end of their rope, if you don't want to keep the two of you alive, how can you pretend to be grandchildren all the way"
"Dog thief!"
"Deceitful brute!"
The two screamed and were kicked again.
……? Hahaha...... Tie it up and take it out for me! With you two as hostages, isn't Ben afraid that he won't be able to let those bandits stop? After Xu Deyi finished speaking, he touched his chin, recalled the grandson who was pretending to be, and kicked the two of them hard, and the more he thought about it, the more proud he became, and he laughed again.
After the music was over, Xu Deyi also quickly began to arrange: "Quickly let all the departments gather in the main courtyard of this big Zhuangzi, so as not to be scattered and scattered outside and be damaged in vain!" ”
Xu Deyi gave an order, and these bandits, who were struggling to resist, ran into the backyard one after another as if they had been pardoned.
The backyard atrium, which was originally enough for hundreds of people to practice, was now filled with soldiers. Xu Deyi dispelled them back, looked at the semi-circular doorway in the atrium, and waited with bated breath.
It didn't take long for the soldiers of the task force with bright armor to pour out of the doorway, and they lined up to kill, so imposing.
"Heroes outside, the person you are looking for is in my hands! If you don't think that they will go to Huangquan today, they will have to go further! Xu Deyi pulled a rope and tied Zhang Tianyi and Xia Shou out. What is quite interesting is that lest people outside not know that Xu Deyi actually wrote two signs crookedly in a hurry, one with Zhang Tianyi's name and the other with the name of King Summer.
The soldiers of the task force who led the charge were still unimpressed when they saw the Tianyi sign, but when they saw the three words of the Summer King, they didn't move: "We want to capture this so-called Summer King alive, right?" ”
"Of course, it's best to capture it alive, but don't you have this military order? Besides, who knows the king of the summer? Don't be an impostor! ”
"What then?"
"Surround first!"
The little pair who arrived first gave an order and surrounded them in all directions, and it didn't take long for Qi Shan to come over. He glanced at Xia Shou's appearance and nodded slowly: "I have fought it, it is this person." Since I was taken hostage, I personally went to ask the two military advisors! ”
"No need to ask, I'm here!" Gu Yanwu and Xu Huanwu went one after the other and entered the backyard.
At this moment, hundreds of pairs of eyes in the courtyard fell on the two of them, and they looked strange outside.
"Reinforcements are coming, Heavenly King, our reinforcements are coming!" Zhang Tianyi looked excited.
Xia Shou swallowed a mouthful of saliva, like a mourner, and said, "This time, it's really over......"
……
After a while, Qi Shan pulled Xu Huanwu, who was a little later, in, followed by Gu Yanwu.
Xu Huanwu looked at the situation on the battlefield and wondered, "Hey, someone actually caught Xia Shou first." Fortunately, he didn't die, he was captured alive. Otherwise, this time it will be a big loss. ”
"On the other side, which part of you are from? Since this Xia Shou has been caught, give it to me. You can withdraw. It was Gu Yanwu who opened his mouth, and he noticed that many people on the battlefield were wearing tattered vermilion jackets, and it was obvious that they were poor Ming troops.
Fang Cai was eager to kill, and some of the Shun troops were still wearing Ming army battle jackets, so it was unclear for a while. But now they are all standing carefully, and most of the people wearing battle jackets can distinguish clearly, so naturally there are no more doubts.
It's just that after Gu Yanwu finished speaking, he paid attention in his heart, he didn't say that he wanted other Ming troops to help. If you really want to open your mouth and let other Ming troops do it, it is impossible to do it so quickly. Not to mention...... I also took the initiative to fight with them.
Moreover, the nearby Ming army, if you want to say how many friendly troops, there are only those people......
