Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince: Three hundred and ninety-two homecoming

Guojiazhuang, a military camp stands on the main road, with antlers, thorns, and carbine, and behind the camp are densely packed with archers, hookers, horse slings, and horse pits. The positions of Li Shoubei and Mandusi had just accommodated a group of remnants who had retreated from the drifting water, and the sound of thunderous horseshoes arrived.

Far away, the figure of the white cavalry gradually approaching became clearer and clearer, and the rumble of war drums was like rolling thunder in the low-pressure sky, rolling over from low altitude, benefiting thousands of families and hundreds of families. The whole army is waiting in silence for the arrival of the white army. They have been waiting for a long time.

The scenes of galloping horses and the rumbling drums of war are intertwined, which can't help but make people feel full of blood.

"Cannon, prepare, let go!"

"Bow crossbow, prepare, let go!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom!" Ten cannons blasted, a piece of iron sand and lead pellets intertwined into a steel rain curtain sweeping everything within a horizontal range of 100 meters, and the vanguards of the white-clothed army rushed to the forefront. , The war horse fell to the ground, and the huge body rolled forward a few feet, or ran out sideways with blood and pain. The fast horse behind collided and trampled on them, stomping them into the flesh. He also turned on his back, and continued to be trampled on by followers.

The white army bypassed the obstacles of flesh and blood, and continued to rush forward without stopping. Fighting in the north and south, fighting day by day, the warriors who can survive now, no matter their will or strength, are undoubtedly strong men out of a hundred, if it weren't for the growing disappointment in their future, their combat power could be improved by a level.

But now, they mustered up the courage again because Yang Hu drew a pie for them. For this wonderful pie, they raised their spirits, fought desperately, and took time with their lives. One round of arrows, two rounds of arrows. With only two rounds of arrows fired, more than 500 soldiers in white clothes fell in a pool of blood, and then the fast horses rushing like a dragon rushed in front of them.

"Retreat, fire guns!" Like fried beans, amidst the crackling noises, people fall off their horses, horses start to run, and they die again. The bravery of the officers and soldiers is not as good as those who have been trained on the death line and have become real fighters, but from the completeness of the weapons to the order of the battle, they cannot be compared.

"Retreat! The spear line is waiting." A spear was lifted up. It was a bamboo spear again, and it was wrapped with layers to prevent it from breaking easily. The spear was stunned and pointed forward, as if Dense forest.

"Puff puff puff" the trembling sound of the tip of the gun pierced into the flesh, and the people shouted and fell to the ground. The white army in the rear team reacted, and the short-handled spear was struck out by the force of the horse. A gap was also torn open the ranks of officers and soldiers, and the white-clothed army had already rushed into the ranks of officers and soldiers, and the sharp steel knives were raised, facing the bright sunshine, reflecting the harsh cold.

Li Shoubei and Mandusi held swords to supervise the battle. Anyone who retreats without permission will be killed. What they received is a strict order to kill. Those who dare to fight against the enemy will kill their generals. This is the order of Weiguogong Yang Ling. No one doubted his determination to carry out this order, so they had no choice but to enforce the unpardonable battlefield discipline on the soldiers.

The horse charge tore open a gap, but before the White Army had time to be happy, they found to their chagrin that they had fallen back into the embarrassment they had when they attacked the city of Nanjing. They rushed into the enemy line, but they could not use their mobile advantage. Perform sprinting, slashing and slashing repeatedly.

Behind is artificially raised and dug roads, and there are also various vehicles placed horizontally and vertically. Among them, there are donkey carts and trolleys, which are obviously collected from nearby villages. These cannot be called weapons. The weapon has the effect of hindering the horse team from killing the front and protecting the officers and soldiers to avoid.

Even though the Jiangnan young cavalrymen, these officers and soldiers with spears and single-handed swords used the advantage of the terrain to offset their horse advantage, and then used the seven-man beheading group combat method that was moved from the Zhuang family. Long and short weapons In cooperation, some were responsible for attacking, some were responsible for defending, some were responsible for stabbing people's heads, and some were responsible for cutting horse legs. This caused headaches for the white soldiers who were riding on the horse. The impatient bandits jumped off their horses and strangled with the officers and soldiers.

Following white-clothed soldiers continued to join the battle group. Li Shoubei and Mandusi gradually became unable to suppress the battlefield situation. At this time, Huo Baihu in Dongping Town, Li Qianhu in Tongshan Town, and Qiqiao Village He Xiancheng, led the officers and soldiers waving flags and then came over.

Although there are not many officers and soldiers, the three-way encirclement immediately aggravated the psychological pressure of the white-clothed army and began to retreat. Although they have always been invincible, there are not many opportunities to fight tough battles with officers and soldiers. Just like they went crazy, they became as fearless as they were, and they lost their horse advantage.

When meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins. Courage is not born out of thin air. The arrival of reinforcements has greatly boosted the defensive defenders, but the white-clothed army is depressed. Every step forward is one step closer to the city of Nanjing, but every step the rest of the road needs to be stained with blood, is such a short distance like a moat?

Yang Hu is indignant, but he is also worried that more and more officers and soldiers will be assisted by the news. Their advantage lies in being fast, but not in tackling tough problems. Yang Hu began to beat the gong to retreat and decided to take a detour to Nanjing.

The army began to move east. Li Qianhu and Huo Baihu, who had just killed, were greedy and chased after them. The Yang Hu fire turned back and fought again, losing the advantage of the car camp and the rugged ground. It was too late to defend themselves. The officers and soldiers were not the opponents of the cavalry. They were immediately killed and scattered. Yang Hu didn't want to fight, so he immediately pulled the horse and left.

When he led the army to Maoshan Town, he saw a river blocking the road and a bridge over the river. The forward horse had just rushed past more than two hundred horses. There was a loud noise, and a cloud of fire and smoke rose under the bridge, connecting the bridge. Dozens of soldiers in white who rushed to the bridge exploded into the sky.

Ten thousand arrows were fired in the reeds on the opposite bank, and then countless men and horses were shot out. Look at the costumes, most of them were strong and brave people. They surrounded the hundred and ten horses and white-clothed legions. They only shot long distances with bows and crossbows. Only a hundred war horses were left alone on the battlefield.

I saw the patrol inspector and Min Zhuang walking to the bridge with a civil servant. The civil servant was dark and strong, holding his belly and laughing loudly, shouting loudly: "My official Maoshan inspector is here. Against the thief in white clothes, the general situation is over, and you can catch it without a hand?"

When Yi Chenfeng heard the fire, he grabbed a bow and shot an arrow. Someone from the other side raised a shield to greet him, guarding the water and retreating down the embankment, and then rushing to shoot across the river with hundreds of civilians. Yang Hu was so angry that he ordered not to be entangled with these civilians and continued eastward. , And rushed towards Li's grave.

The army rushed halfway, just to greet the officers and soldiers of Xianrenwei who came to help. He was caught off guard, and the officers and soldiers were defeated. Yang Donghu let out a bad breath, so he commanded the army to attack Taoshiling, and there was also an army stationed on Taoshiling. The number is small, only about a thousand people, according to high defense.

Yang Hu commanded the army to attack the ridge, and the ridge dropped a bundle of burning wormwood down the slope. The smoke billowed and choked people's eyes and noses, and the horses were also affected. If it is normal, Yang Hu can lead the army away, the officers and soldiers can't chase him with two legs, they can only say nothing, but now Yang Hu is in Nanjing and must not retreat, so he sent a ruthless force to make the army die to attack the mountain.

After two battles for more than half an hour, the officers and soldiers on the mountain gradually retreated to the mountain, in order to prevent the white-clothed army from chasing. The officers and soldiers ignited a mountain fire. The ridge is not high, and it is full of low shrubs. When the fire ignited, the smoke filled the night. Yang Hu had no time to chase the remnants and passed by.

The army rushed to the crock nest, and Yang Hu couldn't help being taken aback. There was a deep trench in front, and hundreds of vans lined up on the opposite side. The forward had already fought with the white army, and the opponent’s bows and arrows, large crossbows, bows and guns were separated. Trenches are raging, using trenches to block horses and using car and camp firearms to reject horses. Such sophisticated equipment is three points better than Guojiazhuang.

Yang Hu has turned dizzy. I only feel that this way, the more officers and soldiers go to Nanjing City, the more soldiers are in ambush everywhere, and there are soldiers everywhere. I can’t help but feel sad. Is it true that the surprise attack on Nanjing City was as early as Han Bai said? As expected by the court?

However, Crazy Zhao and Liu Qi are both attacking Nanjing City as agreed. If they flee this way, they will fail, and they will not live for a few days. If the other two armies are defeated, where can they go only with their own troops? Where to go? It was only a few days late to be buried in Jiangdong.

I was thinking about it, and I saw a faint streamer from the corner of my eyes, and a long arrow shot from a large crossbow broke through the air, with a sharp whistling, "puff", from a close body riding a horse The guard passed through his chest and abdomen, and continued to fly backwards with a cloud of blood mist, shooting three people to death one after another, and dodge in panic all around.

Yang Hu thought so far. Seeing this situation, he categorically ordered: "You can't go anymore. In any case, you must break through. I don't believe it. All roads lead to Nanjing. How many soldiers and horses does the court keep fortifying along the road? Kill me. In the past. Yi Chenfeng, you led your troops to lead the battle, Li Yeyin, led your troops to the left flank, and broke through the army camp."

The right wing of Crock Nest is a thorny mountain, and the left is a puddle. The officers and soldiers use this terrain to dig trenches to resist. There is a road on the right mountain, but they don’t know where to lead. The roadside is full of thorns and it’s hard to cross. It is difficult to go up the mountain. It is the quickest way to go around the mile-long puddle from the left to attack the flanks of officers and soldiers.

The two generals led away immediately. Yang Hu commanded the white-clothed army to shoot at the officers and soldiers to cover Yi Chenfeng's attack. He didn't know that the fireworks on Shiling were basically the contact signals agreed upon by the officers and soldiers. Defenses had been deployed everywhere in the periphery of Nanjing. No matter where he attacked, fireworks signals were set up in places suitable for encirclement to facilitate contact nearby.

With the Daoshiling fireworks, the officers and soldiers knew that the cavalry of Yang Hu had chosen this line to attack, and they had begun to gather in the area of ​​Crock Nest and Toad Bay. After half an hour, there was a blast on the left, and suddenly a force was killed. The team formed a square formation and swung their troops to kill from the field beside the water puddle. The spears were lifted obliquely like a forest. It was also a long spear formation, which was a magic weapon for riding with footsteps.

Yang Hu was horrified, and quickly led the soldiers rushed up. The white-clothed army who could survive the series of killings really fought bravely and vigorously. Even after several days and nights of rapid march and fierce fighting, they could still barely resist the sudden attack of the officers and soldiers.

The two sides fought together, six or seven long spears against a war horse, countless officers and soldiers formed a seven-man small formation, and the small formations formed a large square formation to avoid being chaotic by the horses and knives and guns. The blood flew across, and the fight was extremely tragic.

Yang Hu showed great power and grabbed a long bamboo spear. A spear was out of water like a dragon in his hand, covering the front and back, picking and stabbing the front and back, and no one can stop it. Yang Hu slammed into the encirclement of officers and soldiers alone, raised his arms, swept away a few long spears, and then screamed: "Where is that **** Li Yeyin?"

No matter how stupid he is, he knows that the situation is not good. Li Yeyin was one of the three local gentry who voted for him in Qingzhou. Because of his outstanding martial arts, he became one of his five tiger generals. . He even brought their family members, nursing homes, and relatives, all in Li Yeyin’s army. Li Yeyin was sent by him to go around from the left wing to attack the flanks of the car camp. At this time, countless officers and soldiers came from the left wing, Li Yeyin’s soldiers and horses. What?

Yang Hu looked back at Yi Chenfeng, who was commanding soldiers and horses to continuously launch a hopeless attack on the car battalion with plenty of ammunition, and his heart was infinitely sad and sad: "It has been a long time to see people’s hearts, and a good brother who really talks about loyalty must be Banzhou. How many other people can trust these siblings who came out of the cottage together?"

He roared, and picked up a dozen long spears, but then another sharp shot was handed to him from all directions. The tip of the gun was sharp and he stood far away. It's just a matter of shrinking and passing away. No matter how strong his martial arts is, he can't fight so many long spears at the same time. Yang Hu has no choice but to retreat while fighting.

The surrounding officers and soldiers also saw that this person was the leader, especially his one-eyed, like the white army leader Yang Hu, Zhengde Emperor who posted the imperial list. Anyone who kills the bandit leader Liu Liu and Yang Hu will be rewarded with a reward of tens of thousands of dollars.

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward. The soldiers are fighting their lives, but they are worth their lives with Yang Hu!

If they are one-on-one, they don't have the courage, and these dozens of guns in all directions greet each other on Yang Hu, they will be courageous to each other. Whoever is lucky enough to poke a big hole in his chest, then he will be prosperous. Who would be willing to leave for such a fame and fortune that has been delivered to the door.

Yi Chenfeng commanded the white-clothed army desperately to attack the battle camp in front, while paying attention to watching the movement of the big brother. Seeing that he was surrounded by officers and soldiers, Yi Chenfeng hurriedly called horse to rescue him. The long weapon he used was one The two-pointed steel fork was danced like a windmill by him, and Yi Chenfeng killed Yang Hu all the time, fought side by side with him, and retreated.

At this moment, reinforcement officers and soldiers also appeared on the right-wing Crock Hill. They were rushing down the mountain with their swords and guns. Yi Chenfeng saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly shouted: "Big Brother Hu, the situation is not good, go Going, I’m afraid it’s really a dead end, let’s retreat, first retreat and rectify, and then decide where to go!"

Yang Hu gave a sorrowful laugh, and said in his heart: "Capturing Nanjing is the last hope. If not, where else can I go?" However, he agreed with Yi Chenfeng's plan to retreat and the whole team. Now the officers and soldiers are surrounded on three sides, in white clothes. The army has to face the enemy on three sides, only to break out first, even if the three lines of officers and soldiers merge into one, only the frontal enemy can confront him, and the number of officers and soldiers does not exist.

Yang Hu took a long breath and roared: "Retreat! Retreat now! Retreat to Daoshiling, and the whole army will fight again!"

The two went first. A speculative soldier waiting to be promoted and made a fortune was in the distance. He was swaying in the crowd, but he didn't rush forward. He was holding a bow in his hand and looking for a chance. When the horse turned his head, the officers and soldiers were overjoyed, and immediately opened their bows and arrows, and a cold arrow came.

With a "poof", it didn't hit Yang Hu, but it hit Yi Chenfeng's heart. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers had limited arm strength, and this arrow was not deadly. Yi Chenfeng let out a muffled snoring, and did not care about drawing his arrows to heal his injuries. He endured the pain, and led the defeated soldiers back.

The soldier who shot the arrow was extremely annoyed, and bitterly put down the longbow, picked up the long bamboo spear and chased and cursed: "Fucking land, the big fish didn't catch it, I shot a small shrimp!"

The Yang Hu army wanted to escape, and the officers and men had no way. Even though they had cavalry, they could not be sent out to chase the enemy due to their limited number. They could only watch the Yang Hu army flee towards the loop. The three supporting armies formed their own formations, and then slowly advanced and tracked down. At the same time, other reinforcements, large and small, were also coming here.

The soldiers in white clothes were bloody, and what is even more frustrating is that the morale inspired by the money and beauty of Yang Hu has disappeared, and the deserters riding on horses have completely lost the sturdy and fearless spirit.

Cangcang retired twenty miles in panic, and saw the Taoist Ridge, and there was still a rumbling of war drums on the smoking Taoist Ridge. In an instant, I saw flags and banners waving, thousands of people holding bows and crossbows from behind the slope. There were the remnants of the Xianrenwei who had been repelled by him, and the Minzhuang from Maoshan Town, all staring at him, staring coldly at the defeated white-clothed army from the ridge.

"Prepare, bow and arrow wait!"

There was a squeak, a rain of arrows, and locusts all over the sky...

Crazy Zhao acted, as soon as the scheduled date arrived. He immediately got rid of the Yang Ling army, passing through Guoyang, Mengcheng, and Huaiyuan, all the way to the emperor's hometown Fengyang, the imperial army was still slow in action, and tried his best to stay far behind.

The defenders in the front are also hindsight. Waiting a little longer to know the news, Zhao Sui’s army has already eaten and drank in the town and left. If you move faster, you can catch up and look at the horse’s ass. There is no threat to Zhao Sui's army at all.

Crazy Zhao is even more proud of this. This is the marching speed of the imperial army. According to the speed of the officers and soldiers, it can only take advantage of the fortified battle and the encirclement and suppression battles of Zhongtiao Mountain. Otherwise, the world is too big for him to come. go with?

Crazy Zhao attacked Fengyang City, and there was still a leisurely sentiment. In the descendant of dragons and phoenixes's favorite Huang'en Building, he tasted the Huangjian Luan tea produced by the immortal, rested for half a day, and then continued eastward. , The horse went to Biwa Lake without stopping, grabbing the ship and heading south.

Crazy Zhao went from the lake to the river, the brigade went overland, and the team sailed across Yangzhou grandiosely, boarded the boat on the side of the Yangtze River, and ferryed endlessly. Finally, he landed at Hanqiao and entered the Jiangnan district.

Unexpectedly, the Yang Ling army was'not enough to catch up', so it landed in Zhenjiang and stopped in front of them. Crazy Zhao didn't care. He thought that the cavalry was so fast that he could easily pass the officers and soldiers and go straight to Nanjing in order to avoid fighting with the Yang Ling army. Crashing and entangled, Crazy Zhao quickly inserted in the direction of Danyang.

Unexpectedly, the army rushed to Danyang, and saw the flag-flanks in front of the city. The flag of Yang was flying above the city. There were thousands of horses under the city, the spears were like forests, and the army was like mountains. Crazy Zhao was surprised when he saw this. The imperial court’s rapid reaction force finally made its debut. The two sides chased me after you. Crazy Zhao, who was in the ‘Long and He Who Dares to Catch’, was bitten by Yang Ling and chased after him, forcing him to move towards Changzhou.

The pond village on the edge of Taihu Lake, in the temporary Chinese army tent, the atmosphere is very tense. Crazy Zhao said with a solemn expression: "We cross Henan, Yang Ling is always helpless. I didn't expect him to be so tolerant. It turned out that he had prepared a powerful cavalry early, and it was only used today.

Wrong judgments about the mobility of officers and soldiers are a fatal flaw at the critical moment. Our speed advantage no longer exists. They are now holding us tightly, and they always stop us from going west. The original plan must be changed. "

Come on,

Zhen Yangge said loudly: "I'm afraid he will get the ball, otherwise we will rush forward and fight him head-on. The court's cavalry may not be our opponent."

Crazy Zhao shook his head and said: "Don't forget, the leader is Xu Tai Jiang Bin. They are all frontier warriors. I suspect that Yang Ling secretly transferred the elites of the frontier army to participate in the encirclement and suppression. I am determined to win the city of Nanjing. , I deliberately walked around here to cross the river, my intention was to run a long distance, to get rid of the Henan officers and soldiers, to attract the main Jiangnan, and create conditions for Liu Liu and Yang Hu.

At the same time, we used our cavalry advantage to intersperse through the gaps in the encircled army, but now Yang Ling led a brigade of cavalry to block us in front of us. The first opportunity has been lost and we must respond accordingly. "

He paced hurriedly, stopped suddenly, and said to Lady Hong: "Deputy Marshal Cui, tomorrow noon is the agreed time to break the city. I think Yang Hu and Liu Liu will advance by land and water. There is always a way for the two armies. It can be there, but the battle is too important. Just in case, I will lead the main force to attract the attention of Yang Ling, and you will rush to Nanjing with four thousand soldiers.

Their attention is on Liu Liu and Yang Hu. This side is bound to be empty. You must be at the east gate of Nanjing City at noon. The city of Nanjing is extremely dangerous, and the walls are thick. If you take it hard, as long as there is sufficient food and grass in the city, even if there is an army of 200,000, it will be difficult to capture even if it lasts a month.

To attack the city is not as good as to attack the city. Outsmart is the best policy. The three-way army rushes to make an appointment for a unified action date. As long as we cooperate properly, Nanjing City will be our income. I have already arranged Feng Lei to take the East City Gate. If Yang Hu and Liu Liuliang Road cannot arrive in time, then *you must guard the city gate and wait for our three groups to arrive. "[Heaven’s Kiss Hand Strike]

The Red Lady asked her to take Qingqi to Nanjing to avoid being an enemy of Yang Ling or to seek revenge on Zhou De'an. This proposal was just what I wanted, so he nodded immediately.

Crazy Zhao said: "I led the army to divert Yang Ling, and go down from Yixing, and go to help you through Piaoyang and Piaoshui. Our blog is to be faster than Yang Ling. See if he can stop us from going forward separately. For the three-way army, we won the city of Nanjing first."

Red Lady said: "Xiucai don't worry, I will set off now."

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Sui called her, pondered for a moment, and said in a low tone: "If...I mean...If a thunder fails and doesn't seize the city gate, then don't hesitate anymore. We can't beat Nanjing without going to the city gate. You must immediately implement the backup plan, cross the river and flee to Shaanxi without hesitation."

Red Lady shook her body and blurted out: "You...what about you?"

Zhao Sui laughed and said: "When I join forces with Yang Hu and Liu Liu, we can't beat them. We are divided into three ways, and we can be at ease. Now we are in one place. How can the officers and soldiers do me? If you hit Zhejiang, you can also return to Jiangxi, cross Huguang, and even enter Sichuan. I have traveled the northern half of Great Ming, and then I can visit the beautiful mountains and rivers in the south. Why is it difficult to go to Shaanxi?"

Seeing the red lady hesitating, Zhao Sui laughed and said: "This is just in case, it may not be used. Nanjing is difficult to attack, and the difficulty lies in the hard shell. As long as you open a door, it is Nine Towns. What are you afraid of opening the hole? Just go."

The Red Lady didn't say anything, she stared at him silently, clasped her fists, and led her man out.

Zhao Sui took a long breath and said to Zhao Pan and Zhao Gao: "It was Yang Ling who haunted us, but now we are going to haunt him. Come here, our three brothers have a good plan, and His Yang Ling is on the edge of Taihu Lake, up and down!"

*

Sankeliu on the north bank of the Yangtze River, this is a small place named Sankeliu, but there are many green willows along the river, with more than tens of thousands of trees. Miao Kui stood under the weeping willows on the riverside, watching the river flowing eastward, countless large and small boats, under the order of the government, were crossing the Yangtze River towards the north bank.

A school lieutenant came galloping from the east on horseback and ran fast along the willow **** along the river. When he reached the front, the lieutenant rolled his saddle and dropped his horse, clasped his fists and said: The ships were also captured by us and all sailed back to the north shore."

Miao Kui responded lazily and turned to leave.

The captain hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, there are countless ships along the river on the north bank. Are they centralized and where should they be stored? Can they send soldiers to guard?"

Miao Kui laughed at the words and scolded: "You idiot, where can so many boats be concentrated? Besides, can the gang of ducks float on the opposite side to fetch the boats?"

He walked up to the embankment, walked under a green willow tree, stopped and thought for a while and said: "Well...but you can concentrate a little bit. The local government will send some inspectors to watch. Don't be spoiled. Rogue stealing is".

The captain responded quickly and hurried back.

His subordinates led Malay, Miao Kui turned on his horse, looked towards the shore of Jiangnan, and let out a long sigh: "If you kill the bandit leader, the people can be knighted, and the official will be promoted to the third rank. If I get this credit, I will overtake it. Dai Yi, Zhang Yong, alas! The Lord of the Country is already the Duke of the Country, and there is already an extremely human minister among foreign surnames. Is it still possible to become a king? Why fight with me?

Liu Liu died in Hukou, but he was shot to death. Those officers and soldiers also died seven or eighty eight. It is impossible to determine who contributed to it. Now there is only Yang Hu, the great star, but I don’t know. Which **** is this blessing cheaper! "

Miao Kui sighed for a while, reluctantly raised his whip, and led the soldiers to the city.

At this moment, Yang Dafuxing, who made Father Miao coveted, is trapped in a thousand horses, like a flat boat in the raging waves, which rises and falls and disappears with the waves. The soldiers in the white army beside him brandished knives and guns and fought with the officers and soldiers.

There are more and more officers and soldiers encircled in all directions. The white-clothed army, who is not proficient in battle formation, is trapped in the surrounding slopes, mud pits, and marshes in unfavorable areas. The officers and soldiers are gradually divided into several pieces, and then divided and wiped out.

There is no melee area yet. The officers and soldiers are in front of the spear formation, and the soldiers behind are skillfully drawing bows and shooting arrows. The fire blasts, the sky is full of locusts and arrows. The invincible white army has no power to fight back in this lot. It can't attack close and can't run under its feet. What's more terrible is that the arrows it carries have been used up. At last, the white army finally tasted the fiasco.

It was another rain of arrows. Hundreds of white soldiers screamed and fell to their horses. Some saw the opportunity early when they saw their horses sinking in the mud and the ground was smashed. No longer able to move freely, and refusing to sit on horseback as a target, they jumped off the horse one after another, stabbed the horse violently, and tried to escape by the chance of the horse running wildly.

Yi Chenfeng waved a steel fork, and there was blood on his wounded back. He had lost too much blood, and his eyes turned black. Looking around, there were crowds shouting to kill, like a wave Tide, they fought and walked, they are getting closer and closer to Nanjing, but more and more officers and soldiers are surrounding Nanjing. Now there is no doubt that officers and soldiers are laying ambushes around Nanjing, just waiting for them to get out of Jiangxi. Thrown into the net.

However, Yang Hu is still going to Nanjing now. He is no longer trying to fight Nanjing, whether he can fight Nanjing, but to find the other two soldiers and fight through the siege together. Otherwise, he will go all the way. It is because people are trapped and horses are exhausted, arrows are exhausted, and they are simply unable to flee back to Jiangxi or attack Zhejiang where the troops are more closely deployed.

"Big Brother Hu!" Yi Chenfeng yelled, but the crowds were raging, and I don’t know which direction Yang Hu had gone to. His eyes went dark, his body swayed, his shoulders were pinched by a spear again, and the two around him followed him. For many years, the soldiers went forward desperately. They opened three guns and stabbed a person to death. Following a scream, the guard on the left was stabbed in the back with a long gun, and the gun was pulled out immediately. The blood gurgled.

The one on the right was just a little distracted. The four-to-five-foot-long bamboo spear plunged into his body from all directions. Yi Chenfeng roared and raised the rein, but the horse screamed violently, and the two seized the opportunity. The officers and soldiers who rushed to the horse had already cut off the horse's legs. Yi Chenfeng's face was sweaty and bloody. Just as he was about to stand up in the blur, he saw two **** steel knives in front of him slashing down. Behind the sharp blade wind were two faces filled with murderous aura and excitement.

He led the army to break through the siege and kept issuing orders. The officers and soldiers around the fierce battle already knew that he was not low in the white army. His head almost represented the same weight of silver. Who is not excited?

The sound of shouting, fighting, and clashing of war blades became a whole. The disgusting smell of blood is permeated in the air, and people are like ants on the vast battlefield, that is, small and great. The insignificance is that they may be annihilated into a dead body by this fierce battle at any time, and the greatness is that they can decide the life and death of others at any time, even if it is a powerful general.

"Kill!" The scream of killing rushed into Yang Hu's ears like a tidal wave. He also exhausted his strength. The soldiers and horses were divided into small pieces, and his eyes were full of blood red. With his eyes, the clanging sound of weapons clashing, there were only less than two hundred people left beside him, and they were fighting each other and could not care about each other.

Yang Hu swung an iron rod fiercely, smashing the soldiers in front of them and turning them on their backs. It is no longer known how many blades he had robbed. The overwhelming officers and soldiers shouted to fight with the white soldiers. This is a complete army. There are no defensive moves. Slashing, assassination, slashing, assassination again, simple and effective.

"The general situation is gone, go find Liu Qi and Madman Zhao, or else I will disguise and sneak back to Taihang Mountain. One day I will make a comeback." Yang Hu quickly calculated, and started to rush out alone. .

In the turbulent wave, it seemed to be split by a knife blade. Yang Hu was so tired and sweaty that it was exhausted, but the physical strength of the officers and soldiers was also dropping sharply, and they still couldn't resist his unstoppable rush. The soldiers wanted to follow the past, but countless spears and flying arrows blocked his way.

Yang Hu relied on a tyrannical martial arts, single-handedly hit the edge, holding a twisted iron rod and killing two officers and soldiers, snatched a single-handed sword, just habitually took a knife, turned his head. Look, I saw seven officers and soldiers rushing on the edge with bows and arrows, and the target was here.

Yang Hu was horrified and hid in a stirrup. The horse was hit by an arrow and hissed, and then ran wildly in all directions. The horse ran out for a moment, and a bush blocked the road in front. Yang Hu had just fallen off the horse, and there was someone behind him chasing away his bow. Yang Hu hurriedly bucked up, jumped into the bushes like lightning, and only then did more than a dozen eagle arrows nailed to the ground, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling.

Yang Hu didn't dare to stay for a moment, the cat was panting, rushing through the gap between the bushes and ran to a small stream. He leaned on the rock, plunged his head into the water, dashed with blood and sweat, and immediately drank water without waiting for the water to clear.

The fiery lungs are moisturized, and Yang Hu can't even breathe, so it immediately continues to escape...

At the head of Nanjing city, Zhou De stood in safety armor and stood on the tower watching the people entering and leaving the city.

Since receiving the Yang Ling general order, Nanjing City has been under martial law, and heavy soldiers are stationed on the city gates. As the largest port of Jiangnan, unless the enemy is already close and forced to fight behind closed doors, it cannot be completely closed.

Firewood, rice, oil, salt, vegetables and meat need to enter the city to supply a huge urban population, and many things in the city also need to be transported out of the city. The only officers and soldiers who squeezed their noses and sent them out of the city were the convoy that gathered the toilets out of the city in accordance with Zhou Dean's order. If the city is closed early, these toilets alone can make the whole Nanjing city smelly.

He carried his hands on his back, paced slowly, and said: "Now that the city is opened within three hours every day, there is indeed a lot of inconvenience, but the battle is just around the corner. Close the city gates under the city, right? Guan guard, the relatives of the emperor, the civil and military officials, and the gentry in Nanjing. You have a good life there. I also think about their safety."

Zhou Dean is about 40 years old, with a national face, heavy eyebrows, a red face, two-faced majestic mustache, looks majestic, his sturdy body, heavy shoulders, and even a slight movement seems to be huge. power.

Guan Shoubei smiled and said: "Don't worry, adults, these pampered gentlemen are like this. They scold you for making fuss when they feel inconvenient, and they scold you for not being careful when they feel unsafe.

Hi, being an official in Nanjing is a big deal, and there are many things to get angry. In fact, the whole world is the same. If you are in the capital, wouldn't it be the same? I heard that the patrolling emissaries of the Five-City Soldiers of the Capital Army mostly suffered from apoplexy when they were old. "

He lowered his voice and laughed: "Unless you get into a high position like the prestigious grandfather, Beijing will walk sideways in the city. Otherwise, if you are an official, you have to endure it. Let them say it. Let's not go. Just go inside."

Zhou Dean hey, shook his head and said: "Nanjing City is surrounded by heavy surroundings. I think the three-way bandits in white will not be able to reach Nanjing City all the way. There are also a group of falling water dogs when they come. Humph, take care, Jiangnan is not convenient. Set up a beacon, but the beacon swifts I temporarily deployed around Nanjing are still effective and quick to deliver messages, but if there is a beacon fire, we will immediately close the city to prepare for war and tell the officials."

"Yes, adults go slowly, send them off", Guan Guard smiled and bowed his hands.

At this time, two army station detective horses ran up to the top of the city from the bottom of the city. When they saw Zhou De'an and Guan Guard, they immediately saluted: "Report to General Zhou and General Guan, a great victory on the front line!"

Zhou Dean was moved and said: "What's the matter, let's talk!"

A horse explorer said: "Reported to the general, Liu Qi went down along the river. In Taiping, he encountered strong winds. Ships collided and overturned. Countless people drowned in the river. His remnants would flee to the shore and be defeated at Caishiji. According to the captured prisoners' confession, two bandits Qi Yanming and Liu Qi were killed in the random arrow shooting. Liu Hui only took more than 2,000 people and fled back along the river. Soldiers and horses from all quarters were rounding up."

Zhou Dean laughed loudly when he heard it, then his eyes lit up, and he asked: "Where is Yang Hu?"

"Yang Hu was repeatedly attacked and kept getting rid of our army and trying to advance northward. However, he was surrounded by our army in the crock nest and fled all the way to the toad shop. The bandits in white clothes have been divided into several pieces. Seven thousand people escaped from the brigade and fled southwards. It is estimated that they will be able to meet the imperial army from Huguang and Jiangxi all the way north. The Yang Hu part fell apart and fled in all directions. There is no Yang Hu whereabouts."

Zhou De'an was full of enthusiasm, and asked: "Is there any news on Crazy Zhao?"

"There is no news yet. They are too far away. They are blocked by the Grandpa's army along the way. They are still wandering along the edge of Taihu Lake. They are too far away. The news of the victory and defeat of the two sides has not yet come."

"Okay, let's go down, please feel free to report any news."

Zhou De'an's heart flew: "Yang Hu has also been defeated, but the thief chief Yang Hu has not died yet, that is a great contribution."

He is greedy for power and good fortune, but he has been in the Northern Army for too long, and he doesn’t know how to indulge in tactics, and he is not used to the performance of humility now. However, he was transferred to Nanjing because of his military exploits and became the guardian of Nanjing. The highest-ranking military personnel, but there are also many high-ranking officials in the city of Nanjing. He has to accompany a smiley face when he comes out with his arms and talk trivialities. With his arrogant temperament, it is difficult to adapt.

However, now there is a chance, if you can kill Yang Hu. His fame will spread to the world. Maybe the emperor will meet him, and he will be promoted to the third level. Now he is the deputy commander. If he is promoted to the third level, he can still become the chief official of the border defense without entering the military department.

Splendid Future, high-ranking officials are right in front of you... As long as you take the head of Yang Hu, all this is at your fingertips! Thinking of this, Zhou Dean became hot and jealous. He licked his dry lips: "Yang Hu was scattered around the toad shop, only a few dozen miles away. Liu Qi died and Liu Hui fled back. Madman Zhao is far away in Taihu Lake, and Nanjing City is in no danger. After this battle, I have not done anything yet. If I go to hunt Yang Hu...".

He coughed and calmed his airway: "Guardian".

"The end will be".

"The Yang Hu army is defeated, but Yang Hu is not dead yet. This is a serious problem for the court. The official can't worry. He is scattered around the toad shop. It is expected that he has not gone far. The official will bring a sentry to assist in the arrest. Pirates, you guard the city gate strictly, and when the city is forbidden, the city will not be wrong immediately."

"This..., my lord, our responsibility is to defend the city. Outer bandits have deployed officers and soldiers, let's...".

"Huh, what is the outer and inner periphery? The contingency is the responsibility of the leader of the army. Yang Hu is not dead, and there are endless troubles. You don't need to say more, just guard the city, the official only rate three thousand The cavalry went to search for Yang Hu, no matter whether there is news or not, they will return today."

"Yes!" Guan Dean arched his hands and watched Zhou De'an hurriedly walk down the tower, quietly poking, and cursing in a low voice: "No matter how fierce the Yang Hu is, it's just one after all. Wouldn't you send me to arrest someone? The main player will go on horseback? Isn’t it true that the mother hopes to be promoted to three levels in a row? You fell to death as a bastard.”

Fangjia Village, a small village with beautiful mountains and clear waters, a small house facing the water, halfway out, under the rear window is a small river flowing slowly, in the gurgling river, the water weeds are swaying, and the swimming fish are swimming around.

The small river is not deep. On the opposite side of the river is dense mountain forest. An autumn pear tree beside the river is already full of fruitful fruits. The branches are bent, and the branches cross the small river and hang down from the window, within reach.

Poke one head out of the window, carefully observed the situation around Fan, then retracted it, and gently closed the window. Yang Hu pulled the robe on the bed strip by strip, covering several wounds on her body.

A white and delicate young woman in front of the bed, only sixteen or seventeen years old, holding a baby under one year old in her arms, she looked distressedly at the green robe that she had made for husband by her own hands, being ripped into shape by this rough man. After removing the debris, the tip of his eyebrows frowned slightly, but he sighed helplessly.

Next to a scholar with a thin body, a pointed chin and shallow eyebrows, he seems to be only eighteen or nine years old, with immature hair on his lips. He leaned on his wife in fear and gently embraced her waist. .

"Hey, don’t be afraid, I just can’t hang on, join the white-clothed army to eat. Hey, who knows that the white-clothed army can’t stop, and I’m going to go home secretly, I’ll rest here and leave. It won't hurt you."

"You, go and cook some food for Lao Tzu", Yang Hu gave the young woman an order: "Keep the child on his back, or give it to you man. If you dare to make a noise, Lao Tzu will choke you one by one." .

The young woman humiliated her and quickly picked up her child and went to the outhouse to cook the stove. The door has been inserted back by Yang Hu and tightened with ropes. This kind of unloading door panels, because his husband and wife want to open it, it will take a lot of trouble and make a noise. Yang Hu is lying on the bedside, which happens to be fine. Seeing the door, I am not afraid of them running away.

"You, just sit in the corner, don't* move around, I will leave when I have enough rest. Don't cause trouble to yourself, understand?" Yang Hu ordered fiercely.

"Yes, yes, uncle, I...I don't dare, I'm sitting", the little queen's teeth rattled with fright.

Yang Hu glanced at him contemptuously. It was like bean sprouts, and **** could pinch him to death. He actually fell into a threat of intimidation, alas...

He closed his eyes and slumbered: "This young couple can't stay. Although they don't know themselves, the one-eyed feature of Lao Tzu is too obvious. If the officers and soldiers enter the village and ask them clearly, they must step up their search on me. Now To save their lives, I have to take a breath, and if Baojiali is here to ask, I can use them to deal with it. When I have enough rest and eat, I will send them on the road before I leave."

This weak-literate kid is actually a talented person. His surname is Fang, Fang Qingchou. Although the small village is quiet, he still often goes to the county school. He remembers this vicious man in front of him clearly, and the text The bandit Yang Hu is exactly the same.

At first sight of him, Fang Xiucai was really frightened. There are too many legends about the thief Yang Hu in the folk. Most of them describe him as killing people without blinking, even eating human flesh and drinking human blood, with eyes like Tongling and height. Zhang Er's King Kong appearance. Fang Xiucai was a scholar. Although he didn't believe it, that kind of fear was still planted in his heart.

But now seeing the embarrassing appearance of Yang Hu, covered in bruises, exhausted, ragged clothes, mud and dirt, worse than a beggar, Fang Xiucai's heart gradually calmed down.

Turning his head to look at his wife who is cooking outside lightly, Fang Qingchou thought to himself: "This person must be the thief Yang Hu, he...will he really let us go?"

He licked his lips, and suddenly passed the emperor's list in his mind: Reward for Ten Thousand Golds, Earl of the People, Promoted to the Third Rank.

As soon as my eyes touched Yang Hu, who was lying on the bed, like a fierce tiger lying on the bed, the thought immediately disappeared, and then, unknowingly, it lingered in my mind: "Reward thousands of dollars, Earl of Minjin , The official promotion to the third level".

"Where should I flee? When I have enough strength, take some dry food and money and hide in the mountains, inquire and inquire. If Crazy Zhao and Liu Qi succeed, I will go to Nanjing to vote for them. If they I also lost, sigh...then find a way to leave Jiangnan and go back to the north, and re-enter the Taihang Mountain...hu...hu...".

The faint snoring sound came, and it gradually turned into a deafening snoring. Fang Xiucai, who was so frightened, shrank and looked intently before he relaxed his shoulders again.

"Wanjin, promotion, promotion, robber, beheading" all kinds of thoughts came in, Fang Qingchou's heart beating faster and faster, and he was almost out of breath. His legs were trembling. Suddenly, his eyes glanced at a piece of wooden stick exposed from the miscellaneous objects beside him sitting on the floor stool, and those eyes could no longer move away.

That is a harpoon, a small harpoon, two sharp prongs side by side, not half the width of a slap, this harpoon can only shoot the small fish in the stream behind the window Since he was admitted as a talented scholar and married a wife, he has been thinking about becoming a senior official in the early stage, and has not touched it for a long time.

But my wife often uses it, occasionally removing excess water weeds behind the window to draw water. A faint smell of rice came out of the pot, and Fang Qingchou cried out in fear: "Strong man, strong man!"

After yelling twice, he realized that the sound was only circling in his throat, so he mustered up the courage to cough and raise his voice a little: "Strong man, the meal...the meal is ready...".

The snoring sound overwhelmed his voice like a mosquito and fly. Fang Xiucai stood up a little bit by supporting the wall, shaking his legs, his hand tremblingly touched the harpoon, and pulled it out inch by inch.

The wife discovered his behavior. She covered her mouth in horror and shook her head at him with wide-open eyes. The steel fork was already in her hand. It took courage to pull it out, and then let him plug it back in. It also took great courage and couldn't look back. Fang Xiucai's face was thin and flushed, and he gave his wife a fierce look. The wife immediately stopped making a noise, but stared at him with her eyes widened.

Fang Xiucai picked up the harpoon and tremblingly aimed at Gao Yizai who was exhausted Yang Hu His chest moved to his throat from time to time, and after gesticulating for a while, he suddenly let out a cry like a woman's sobbing: "Yah~ah~!"

As he screamed, his wife also screamed in surprise. Yang Hu was startled by two strange screams and opened his eyes, but when he opened his eyes, the rusty harpoon was already deep. Deeply pierced his throat. Fang Xiucai didn't use the power of both arms to make the fork, but squeezed the iron fork tightly, exhausted all of his strength, and leaped forward, using the weight and momentum of his body to push the fork forward.

The fork has already pierced the throat completely, and he is still yelling, pushing the fork forward desperately, pushing Yang Hu's throat with blood gurgling out, and the throat has sunk deep in, with the airflow of breathing, he uttered a "gut "Goo" strange noise.

Yang Hu glared with anger, and his hands were open. It looked as if he was about to rush forward, Fang Xiucai was almost scared to death, and saw his eyes widened, and even his bones were crisp, and his hands were so soft that he could not hold the harpoon handle. He could only use it. With the fork handle on his chest, crying and roaring: "Go to die! Go to die! Ah! Ah!"

Yang Hu was already exasperated. He was pushed and pushed by his iron fork, and his two opened hands moved as if they were about to pounce. Fang Xiucai was finally shocked by this dead man. He turned around and ran, stumbled on the doorway, choked his lips, and felt no pain.

Fang Xiucai got up, pulled up his wife and ran away, shouting: "Go, go!"

He rushed to the door and saved the door from being twisted. He hurriedly turned around and grabbed the kitchen knife on the wok table and chopped it. He cut the rope and removed the first door panel. The warm sun came in the door, Fang Xiucai It seemed to return to the soul.

He was startled, and slowly turned his head and looked at the back room. The harpoon pierced the Yang Hu's throat on the sitting bed. Because the wooden handle was slightly heavier, he was now trembling and bending down. The thick blood ran halfway along the wooden handle, pulled into a thick silk thread, and then hung on his thigh.

The warm sunshine dispelled the chills from his heart. He asked his wife in amazement: "Xiu'er, is he... is he dead?"

The young woman named Xiu'er nodded quickly and shook her head after thinking about it~IndoMTL.com~ I felt that this answer was really unlucky, so she nodded again. At this time, the child on his back cried with a "wow".

With the cry, I only heard a majestic voice from the narrow and long alleys: "The person named Liu Qianhu continues to search forward. This village and the mountains behind are in charge of Zhou De'an. Search, search house by house, don't let go of a doubt, you must catch the Yang Hu anti-thief".

Fang Xiucai took a long breath, hugged his wife, and wept with joy: "Xiu'er, we are saved."

"Hmm!" Xiu'er just nodded with joy.

Fang Xiucai hugged his wife and laughed out loud: "It's not just saved, I killed Yang Hu, killed the thief Yang Hu! We are going to develop, I want to be an official, I want to be crowned!"
