Chapter 349: The Beginning of the Youth
Yue Fei heard the sound of killing, his face changed, and he hurriedly pulled out his horse and fled back. Along the way, Zhang Xian came to the rescue, and the master and apprentice walked together. came to chase the thieves and shouted loudly, and the horses kept talking, and several thieves were greedy for merit, but they were killed by Zhang Xian. It was almost the third watch at night, Yue Fei quickly arrived at the mountainside pass, Liu Tao had already heard the sound of the bandits, and hurriedly led troops to rescue. When the bandits saw a large number of officers and soldiers killed, they dared to fight desperately and withdrew one after another.
That night, Yue Fei returned to Guanzhong and pulled out the arrow in his right shoulder, and in an instant, blood flowed from the arrow's mouth. Liu Tao hurriedly ordered someone to bandage it, and from time to time the bleeding stopped, and applied gold sore medicine. Yue Fei's expression improved a lot, Zhang Xian, Wang Gui and others came to visit in a hurry, and they were relieved to see that Yue Fei was fine.
Later, Liu Tao asked about the past. Yue Fei then told them one by one. When Liu Tao heard this, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but persuade: "Fei'er, you have always been cautious. This is too risky, and we must not be so reckless in the future. ”
"General Xie Liu Guan Xing. Fei didn't think that if he could capture that Cao Cheng earlier, he would be able to avoid many senseless sacrifices. However, General Liu can rest assured that he will pay more attention after the flight. Yue Fei said in a condensed voice. When everyone heard this, they all praised Yue Fei's heart of sacrifice and benevolence. Liu Tao saw that Yue Fei was injured, and now it was almost the fourth watch, so he didn't bother and taught everyone to disperse. Yue Fei originally wanted to discuss with Liu Tao about the layout of Guanzhong and the current battle situation, but Liu Tao refused.
"Now that our army has taken this mountainside pass, as long as the other army of bandits has not rushed back, the cottage will be conquered, and the overall situation will be decided. You don't need to worry too much, rest more first, with your ability, you can not only crusade against these bandits, but also hope that you can lead the army of Song and calm the world in the future! Liu Tao's words made Yue Fei's heart extremely moved, and he hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Feiding will do his best to live up to General Liu's hopes!" ”
Liu Tao was obedient, helped Daxiao, and walked out.
The night passed. Let's say that Cao Cheng returned to the village, thinking of the danger of the current situation, he couldn't sleep all night, and finally slept for a while, but he was awakened by a nightmare, and urgently summoned the leaders in the village to discuss the matter.
But looking at the hall of righteousness, the leaders were arguing endlessly, but what they said was useless nonsense. Cao Cheng's face became darker and darker, and he slapped the case suddenly, and shouted angrily: "Enough!" Don't make any noise!! Yao Gang!! When will my army of 30,000 return!? ”
When Yao Gang heard this, he hurriedly rushed out, and replied respectfully: "Return to the king, if there is no accident, you will be able to arrive within two days." At that time, as long as our two armies attack together, the officers and soldiers will be defeated!! ”
Cao Cheng was obedient, his face was shocked, his expression was solemn, and he responded: "That is to say, as long as I can hold the stockade for two days, I will not be afraid of officers and soldiers!?" ”
"As the king said! It's just..."Yao Gang said, his face couldn't help but change, and he stopped talking. Cao Cheng's heart was already impatient, and when he saw Yao Gang like this, he immediately glared at him and shouted, "Say !! ”
Yao Gang saw that Cao Cheng was very angry, so he hurriedly promised and replied: "But at the moment, the morale of the officers and soldiers is high, and there is Yue Fei, a tiger general, I am afraid of what happens!" ”
"Enough!! Yue Fei Yue Fei !! Could it be that there are more than 20,000 brothers in the village, and they can't deal with a single Yue Fei!? Cao Cheng shouted angrily, his face was hideous and terrifying. All the leaders in the village looked at each other and did not dare to speak.
At this moment, a person walked out, only to see that his face was pale, his abdomen was bandaged, and his eyes were gloomy, and he arched his hand and said: "Back to the king, the villain has something to repay!" ”
Cao Cheng saw that he was a little leader nicknamed Pheasant, and he was very impatient, so he shook his hand and said, "Say it!" ”
"The villain is lucky, last night the king ordered me to attack Yue Fei with Yuan Bing. Listening to the movement at that time, the villain's arrow did hit him, but I don't know where it hurt! "It turned out that this person was one of the thieves who attacked Yue Fei last night. It is said that at that time, because the pheasant's arrow was slower, the pheasant was able to confirm that it was he who shot Yue Fei.
As for the person called Yuan Bing, he had been shot dead by Yue Fei, who later counterattacked. And the pheasant bandit was shot in the abdomen and escaped.
"That's !!? true" When Cao Cheng heard this, his face changed dramatically in an instant, he was ecstatic, and asked anxiously. The pheasant said yes. Yao Gang frowned and said, "Wait, this Yue Fei has always been cunning, and it was dark at night, how could he see clearly!?" ”
As soon as Yao Gang's words fell, there happened to be a few leaders who chased and killed Yue Fei to the mountainside pass last night, and by the light of the fire, they vaguely saw the arrow on Yue Fei's shoulder, but they didn't dare to confirm it.
“hahahaha!!! This is really the way to the sky!! Rao is this Yue Fei is brave, but he is only a mortal body, how can he resist thousands of troops!? Cao Cheng was overjoyed, and now it is confirmed.
It's just that just as Cao Cheng's laughter fell, a scout suddenly came to report, saying that the officers and soldiers sent 3,000 troops from the mountainside pass, repeatedly broke the post, and after passing three posts and two passes, they would be forced to the cottage!
"The officers and soldiers sent troops so badly!?" Yao Gang was obedient, his face changed greatly, and he had no idea for a while, if he went under this situation, I am afraid that within tonight, the officers and soldiers will be able to kill the cottage. Although there are 20,000 people guarding the village, they are all demoralized and have no will to fight, and many of them are rabble, some of them can also come in handy, but only five or six thousand people are really elite. If there is a fierce general in the village, leading these five or six thousand people to stimulate their morale, or there is still a strength to fight, but this fierce general is really difficult to find, and no one in the 20,000 people can take on this great responsibility.
Just when Yao Gang was thinking about countermeasures in his heart, Cao Cheng was shocked why the officers and soldiers were attacking so fiercely, and glared and shouted: "Isn't Yue Fei injured!? Who led this soldier!? ”
"Return to the King! It is not known whether Yue Fei was injured or not, but it was not Yue Fei who led the troops, but a veteran named Cheng Bing. But to the villain's surprise,
The officers and soldiers are still using Yue Fei's subordinates as the main attack, but they clearly don't see Yue Fei's figure! ”
As soon as this scout said this, all the leaders in the village did not change color. It seems that the reason why the officers and soldiers were able to fight invinciously and conquer all was not because of Yue Fei alone, but because of Yue Fei and his subordinates. Cao Cheng listened, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "Yue Fei must be injured, this is a good time to annihilate his subordinates in one fell swoop, as long as Yue Fei's subordinates are annihilated, Yue Fei is like cutting off his arms, and he is injured at the same time, it is not enough to cause trouble!" ”
As soon as Cao Cheng's words came out, it emboldened the leaders in the village, and many people rushed to ask for their lives, and they were willing to fight. Cao Cheng was overjoyed, and all the people under his command who had a little martial arts were dispatched, a total of five people. They are a pair of brothers named Xiong Wei and Xiong Ba, both of whom are powerful and powerful, and both brothers are good at using an eighty-pound iron ghost head sledgehammer. There is also a person, named Chen Hui, who used to be a hunter, good at using bows and arrows, and is said to have the ability to pierce Yang in a hundred steps. There was another man, Zhuang Tao, who was a vicious murderer who made good use of hidden weapons and a pair of scimitars. Zuihou is a man, named Yan Ming, a fugitive general, who heard that he was killed by a traitor, and made good use of a red tasseled spear.
Cao Cheng personally ordered five fierce generals, and ordered each of the five to lead a thousand soldiers, and be sure to kill the officers and soldiers, if they can annihilate Yue Fei's subordinates, they can all get a reward of one hundred taels of gold. The five of them received the order with different expressions, some sneering, some high-spirited, and some solemn, and left one after another.
"Listen to the order, and all go and prepare, but if the officers and soldiers are defeated. Just tonight, I will personally lead the soldiers and horses in the village to launch a counterattack, and I must be ashamed!! Cao Cheng cheered together, and everyone in the village responded with their voices, and it seemed that a lot of morale had recovered for a while.
In other words, when Cheng Bing captured a pass in Zuihou, it was almost noon. Cheng Bing obeyed Liu Tao's orders, and was not in a hurry to attack, while reorganizing the troops and horses, he sent someone to inform Liu Tao.
About two hours later, the officers and men were resting after they had eaten their fill. Suddenly, a group of scouts arrived, and reported that five thousand thieves were coming, and there was quite a great noise.
"Humph! Sure enough, as Yue Fei expected, these bandits are too underestimating me to wait!! Do you really think that Yue Fei is the only one in our army who can fight!? Cheng Bing's face was cold, and he said coldly. When Zhang Xian, Wang Gui and other generals heard this, they also had their own resentment, their eyes were sharp, and they didn't want to be underestimated.
It was too late to say that it was too fast, five thousand bandits were surging, and as soon as the formation was set, they all shouted to kill and fight, and under the door flag, there were several leaders, all of whom were scolding and arrogant. Cheng Bing snorted coldly, although he was not as brave as he was back then, he couldn't tolerate these rat thieves being so humiliated, he snorted coldly, and was about to go down to fight. At this time, Zhang Xian suddenly blocked the way and bowed his hand and said: "Kill chickens with a knife!?" You don't need the old general to take action, the kid can take down the heads of those bandits for you!! ”
When Cheng Bing heard this, he couldn't help but hold his white beard, and his eyes were fixed on Zhang Xian. For Yue Fei, an apprentice, he also knew of his bravery, and he agreed.
Zhang Xian's face was shocked when he heard this, and he was about to leave, but he heard Wang Gui next to him laugh and said, "Hehe." Although Xian'er is brave, there are many bandits, and there are many sinister and cunning people, and in order to win, they will resort to any indiscriminate means. Just in case, how about I wait for my uncle to sweep the battle for you? ”
Zhang Xian has always taken Yue Fei as an example, knowing that Yue Fei has always respected the elders and loved the young, and he has great respect for Wang Gui and others on weekdays. And Wang Gui also wanted to ask for war, but Zhang Xian took the lead, and it was not easy to compete with Xiao'er for the sake of face.
When he was young, Zhang Xian got on the horse, and with a spear in his hand, he rode out of the horse. Wang Gui and other generals followed suit. When the two armies approached about 100 zhang, Zhang Xian restrained his horse, and Wang Gui and other generals also quickly commanded the formation of the subordinates.
"Which thief dares to speak out, the master will wait!!" Zhang Xian's eyes were sharp, he raised his spear, and shouted.
