Chapter Seventy-Three: The Water Bandits (Part II)
After Leng Qian left Pei Mansion, he did not leave the water village. Next, he will stay in Shuizhai, secretly pay attention to the development of the situation, and be ready to pass on information to the outside at any time.
Let's talk about the Juyi Hall. Inspired by the water snake, the black dragon side is losing and retreating, and it is about to be lost. was so angry that the black dragon only scolded his mother, "Damn, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet." ”
"It's morning, and the three masters are not in the barracks, so we have to wait." The military advisor said cautiously on the side.
"Damn, wait any longer, just wait for us to collect the body." The black dragon said angrily.
As the black dragon said, before Pei Dong came to rush to reinforcements, the water snake had already broken through the Juyi Hall. After surrounding the remnants of the Black Dragon, the water snake said triumphantly: "How about it, big brother, as long as you kowtow to me and call me big brother, I will spare you from death." ”
Heilong is a man, how can he stand such humiliation, "Phew, if you want to kill or chop, listen to you, I want Heilong to kowtow to you, dream!" ”
"If you don't eat and drink in a toast, then don't blame me for being rude." The water snake had a hideous face and said gloomily, "Kill him!" ”
Under the chaotic arrows, the black dragon died tragically. As soon as the black dragon died, the remaining people, including the military division, surrendered one after another.
In the first battle of Juyitang, 32 people were killed in the garrison squadron, and 68 people were captured when they surrendered. The two squadrons of the Water Snake had fifty-eight killed and twelve seriously wounded, and one hundred and thirty were left to fight for strength. Among them, there are still forty-five elite water bandits left, and most of their combat power is well preserved.
It was only at this time that Pei Donglai rushed to Juyitang with reinforcements from two squadrons.
After receiving the news, the water snake complacently led the remaining troops to guard in front of the gate of the Juyi Hall, and said loudly to the water bandits who came to reinforce him: "Brothers, the big boss is dead, and the water village in the future will be my water snake who has the final say." Think about it carefully, whether you are willing to follow me or follow Pei Dong to this outsider. ”
Among the two hundred people brought by Pei Donglai, except for the ten elite water bandits, the rest were ordinary water bandits. Therefore, although the number is superior, the strength is not superior. What's more, the other party also has a geographical advantage.
Hearing that the big boss was dead, Pei Donglai showed grief and indignation, and said loudly: "Brothers, the water snake rebelled, attacked the Juyi Hall, and killed the big boss, so everyone will be punished for such a traitor!" ”
Unfortunately, not everyone is as loyal as he is. Pei Donglai's water bandits, seeing that the general trend has gone, it is also a good choice to follow the second master. More than fifty people joined the Water Snake side on the spot, and the rest were all diehards of Pei Donglai.
When the water snake saw it, he immediately laughed, "Sure enough, I'm more popular." Pei Donglai, you alien mongrel, it's too late to leave now, Lao Tzu will let you live. In fact, he didn't want to fight Pei Dong again, so as not to suffer too many casualties. Now that he has regarded himself as the owner of the water village, he is naturally unwilling.
Pei Donglai said disdainfully: "If I don't kill you, a traitor, and avenge the big boss, I will never survive." Brothers, kill with me! ”
"Kill!" The lineage brought out by Pei Donglai is really extraordinary, and they are all full of blood.
The water snake smiled coldly, "I don't know what to do, brothers, give it to me!" ”
With the addition of fifty people, the water snake felt that it was already in control, so he simply gave up the geographical advantage, rushed out of the Juyi Hall directly, and fought with Pei Donglai's troops.
Leng Qian, who was not far away, saw the scuffle between the two sides and felt that the time was ripe. Immediately sneaked to a secluded corner, sounded the signal flare representing the attack, and ran towards the gate of the water village at the same time.
At this moment, Ouyang Shuo was leading the cavalry squadron and infantry squadron, ambushed in the grove outside the water village, ready to attack at any time.
Taking advantage of the waiting, he pulled Shi Wansui aside and ordered alone: "General Shi, give you a secret mission." ”
"My lord, please speak!"
"When you attack the water village later, no matter what the situation inside is, your first task is to shoot the big leader. This black dragon has done a lot of evil, but it is kind to Pei Donglai, and it is inevitable that there will be branches, so it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible. Ouyang Shuo said coldly.
"Don't worry, the lord will ensure that the black dragon will not survive today."
Ouyang Shuo nodded and returned to the headquarters. Unbeknownst to him, the black dragon he was worried about had died at the hands of the water snake. Less than ten minutes after I came back, I saw the signal flare sent by Leng Qian.
Ouyang Shuo's spirit was shocked, and he immediately turned over and got on the horse, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" The infantry squadron was in front, and the cavalry squadron pressed behind, rushing towards the main gate of the water village.
The guards at the gate of the water wall were stunned when they saw the army of Shanhai Town. This infighting involved all the fighters in Shuizhai, and the city gate was an empty gate, where could it block the impact of the troops in Shanhai Town.
After capturing the city gate, Leng Qian rushed out from the side and said excitedly: "I've seen my lord." ”
Ouyang Shuo nodded and hurriedly asked, "What is the situation in the water village?" ”
"Lord Qiyu, everything is going well. The two leaders broke through the Juyi Hall and killed the black dragon. The three leaders and their descendants are fighting with the water snake to avenge the black dragon. Leng Qian said quickly.
Hearing that the black dragon was dead, Ouyang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, the snipe and the clam are competing for the fisherman's profit, let's go!" "This time, the cavalry squadron was in front, and the infantry squadron was pressing behind.
When the army of Shanhai Town appeared in front of the Juyi Hall, both sides of the fierce battle were stunned and taken by surprise. The water snake is also a ruthless character, seeing that the situation is not right, he immediately roared loudly: "Brothers, when the foreign enemy is coming, we will immediately stop fighting and unite with the outside world." ”
This group of water bandits was also red-eyed, and they were provoked by the water snakes, and they all screamed. Only Pei Donglai showed surprise on his face, he didn't expect that the army of Shanhai Town had already been ambushed outside the village. In this way, everything that happened today is under the control of that mysterious lord.
Ouyang Shuo sneered: "Surrender and don't kill, those who resist die!" ”
"Phew, brothers, follow me!" The water snake snapped and took the lead in rushing forward.
Seeing that a big battle was inevitable, Ouyang Shuo was a little enthusiastic and shouted: "Charge!" Lin Yi led the cavalry squadron to follow closely by his side and said loudly: "Protect your lord!" ”
From the moment the water snake decided to resist, the result was already doomed. The water bandits are not good at land warfare, and they are tired divisions, especially the troops of the water snakes, who have fought two battles in a row, and they are already exhausted. On the other hand, Shanhai Town, on the other hand, is a regular army that is good at land warfare, and it is a judgment from above.
Ouyang Shuo and Lin Yichong were at the front, acting as arrows, and the entire cavalry team was like a sharp knife, directly tearing the water bandit position in half. The squadron of sword and shield soldiers that followed closely behind mercilessly harvested the lives of the water bandits.
The position was broken, and the bloody nature of the water bandits immediately dissipated, and their morale was completely lost. Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to say loudly again: "Surrender and don't kill, those who resist die!" ”
"Surrender without killing, those who resist die!" The soldiers shouted in unison.
Boom, finally someone couldn't stand it anymore and dropped their weapons and surrendered. Then there was the plague, with one man taking the lead, and the rest surrendered.
As for the water snake who had just become the big leader, he had already been shot to death by Shi Wansui. Now that the black dragon is dead, killing a second leader can be regarded as barely completing the secret mission that the lord confessed before.
"Hahaha~~~ I have advanced to the ninth order elite soldier ~~~ Wahahaha~~~" At this moment, a very discordant laughter came from the cavalry team behind him.
Ouyang Shuo turned his head to look, only to see Zhao Sihu laughing loudly on the horse, and Zhang Daniu on the side staring at him with jealousy. Unexpectedly, this time Zhao Sihu came from behind and advanced to the ninth order one step earlier than Zhang Daniu.
Ouyang Shuo beckoned the two of them to him and said with a smile: "Okay, there is finally a result." Zhao Sihu! ”
"In!"
"Appoint you as the Acting Squadron Leader of the Infantry Squadron, and officially accept the appointment after the transfer."
"Thank you for your promotion, I will definitely live up to the trust!"
"Zhang Daniu!"
"In!"
"Appoint you as the deputy squadron leader of the infantry squadron and the captain of the first infantry squadron."
"Thank you for your promotion, I will definitely live up to the trust!"
Lin Yi stood aside and said with a wry smile: "My lord, you transferred the two most powerful fire captains of the cavalry squadron away at once, what should I do?" ”
"What to do? Cold! After the joke, Ouyang Shuo said earnestly, "We still have to pay attention to the cultivation of the second echelon, and we must strive to discover new people and promote them to the corresponding positions in a timely manner." ”
"Yes!"
After the episode, Ouyang Shuo began to arrange the aftermath, "Li Mingming! ”
"Here!"
"You lead a team of men and horses to gather all the non-combatants in the water village to the square in front of the Juyi Hall."
"Yes!" Li Mingliang led a team of cavalry and rode away.
"Liao Kai!"
"Here!"
"You lead another group of cavalry to stay where you are, guarding the prisoners."
"Yes!"
"Zhao Sihu!"
"Here!"
"You lead a team of men and horses to block the gates of major warehouses, arsenals and water villages, and prohibit anyone from approaching, otherwise you will be killed."
"Yes!" Zhao Sihu led the second infantry team and rushed towards the granary, arsenal and other places.
"Zhang Daniu!"
"Here!"
"You lead a squad of infantry and cooperate with the guards and prisoners, there must be no mistake!"
"Yes!"
After the arrangements were perfected, Ouyang Shuo had time to meet Pei Donglai, "I have long heard that General Pei is talented, and it is a blessing to see him today." ”
Pei Donglai's face was very bad, and he said in a deep voice: "The general of the defeated army, how dare you speak bravely." ”
"Hey, the defeat in this battle is not because of the general, why should the general blame himself. Now that the water snake has been ambushed, the general's revenge has been avenged, and it can be regarded as repaying the favor and fulfilling benevolence. A good man, he should gallop on the battlefield and make contributions, not nesting in this small water village. I want to award the post of commander of the Shanhai Town Water Army to the general, and I hope that the general will be fulfilled. Ouyang Shuo bowed down and saluted Pei Donglai and said sincerely.
Pei Donglai's face was instantly moved, and he hurriedly turned sideways to avoid Ouyang Shuo's salute, knelt down on one knee, and said excitedly: "My lord is so benevolent and righteous, Pei Mou dares to be ineffective!" ”
Ouyang Shuo stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "One general is better than thousands of troops." ”
