Zhejiang Silong has fought several battles with officers and soldiers since Fangla raised his troops. Those generals in the south are often not as powerful as the quick ones, so in Silong's heart, the officers and soldiers are really nothing to fear.
Although they knew that Fang Mao, Fang Qifu and others had been defeated one after another and lost cities and territory along the way, in Silong's eyes, it was probably because the number of officers and soldiers was too large and they were outnumbered.
Today, there was a night attack on the waterway, and the entire camp was set on fire. His own house was in chaos. Naturally, it was difficult to show his military superiority. Wouldn't it be natural to take advantage of the situation and behead Tong Guan?
The four men were full of confidence and led the sailors to rush in from the side door. They were overjoyed to see the people in his camp shouting and neighing, and it was chaos. Qiao Zheng really called him "wave dragon" in vain. He pulled away with his long legs and rushed forward in a few steps. When he reached the front, he shouted: "Kill Tong Guan!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a small group of Song troops coming towards him, about three to four hundred people, led by a young general. He had a fair complexion and peach blossom eyes, his eyebrows slanted into his temples. He was three points more handsome than a big girl. Qiao Zhengsu was good. The man's temper suddenly stirred up, he salivated wildly, and screamed: "Ah, little brother, you are so good-looking, why do you want to learn to fight and kill? Why don't you follow my brother and live up to your good skin?" "
The visitor was naturally Yao Pingzhong, the "Little Lieutenant" of the Western Army. Seeing Qiao Zheng's evil appearance, a layer of frost seemed to have condensed on his face. He didn't answer. He spurred his horse and stabbed with his spear. Qiao Zheng also Not showing any signs of weakness, he screamed and danced his harpoon as he rushed forward.
There is a poem that says:
Beautiful man, are you ready? Go, go, go!
Without further ado, I have to charge the wave dragon.
Chongbolong is very capable and wants to take Xiao Yao home.
The little lieutenant didn't say anything, letting you know who the father was.
There was a clang and crossfire of guns. Qiao Zheng was shocked and secretly said in shock: How can this little guy like Lord Rabbit be so strong? I'm afraid it's difficult to get started, so don't be unable to hold him down, or he'll get you...
He was about to change his move at that moment, but unexpectedly, when he exerted force, the fork didn't move at all, but Yao Pingzhong used the "sticking" technique, and pressed down, taking away his power to withdraw the fork. After another stir, Qiao Zheng only felt a strong force. When he heard the news, his hands spread out involuntarily - the pole and fork flew several feet away.
Qiao Zheng was shocked, and just as he was about to run away, a shot was fired, as fast as thunder, and pierced into Qiao Zheng's chest. Yao Pingzhong exhaled and said "Hey", lifting Qiao Zheng into the air.
It was too late to say, but it was fast then, but when he saw the iron spear shot out and retracted five times in a row, Qiao Zheng's body was not even able to hit the ground, and his pubic area, lower abdomen, chest, throat, and face exploded from bottom to top. Five balls of blood!
Then Yao Pingzhong swung his gun and fired wildly. The gun barrel hit Qiao Zheng's body hard and flew back four to five feet. If the other three dragons had not jumped away in time, they would have been knocked down by him.
With a swish sound, the five thousand sailors stopped in unison, and the remaining three dragons were also shocked. Qiao Zheng could fight a dragon underwater, how could he die in one move? Is there such a fierce person among the officers and soldiers?
Cheng Gui was worthy of being the leader of the four dragons. Although he was frightened, he saw that Yao Pingzhong only led a few hundred people. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be afraid of him. We have an army of five thousand. This guy is full of iron and can hammer a few nails." ?Kill him and take Tong Guan’s head, and everyone will be rewarded generously!”
Yao Pingzhong sneered and shouted: "The Xixia people have thousands of troops and horses, but I look down on them like a piece of grass. You are a bandit and bandit, so what if there are a hundred thousand people?" As he said, he slapped the horse and charged straight in with his spear. Come.
Cheng Gui shouted: "If you don't want to die, join forces and kill him!"
Zhai Yuan, the "Jin Scale Dragon", and Xie Fu, the "Playing Pearl Dragon", roared loudly in unison and attacked with simple swords. Cheng Gui dragged his bamboo spear backwards, turned around and ran away.
The reader thinks: This Yao Pingzhong was born in the Western Army, and his skills are mostly on horses. When he first fought against Baoguang Tathagata, he was evenly matched. Now that he has horses and guns, how sharp is he?
Zhai Yuan and Xie Fu are also famous martial arts masters in the south of the Yangtze River. The number of lives they lost under the sword was eighty if not one hundred. They had no choice but to go out without looking at the almanac. They bumped into this evil star and barely fought with him two or three times. Yao Pingzhong swept away with one shot. , deflected two simple knives, the gun turned from behind, and suddenly jumped out from the left waist, just like a poisonous dragon coming out of its hole, and plunged into Xie Fu's throat.
Zhai Yuan's liver and gallbladder were split, and he screamed uncontrollably. He tried his best to chop the knife at him, but Yao Pingzhong pulled out his iron gun to stop him. With the impact of the gun and knife, the gun head bounced up and penetrated into Zhai Yuan's throat.
At this point, the golden scales and dragon scales dispersed and the souls flew away, and the playing pearls and dragon beads shattered their lives.
Yao Ping Zhong's horse did not stop, and he rode into the 5,000 sailors. He raised his spear and killed people in a frightening manner. The 300 soldiers behind him followed closely and killed them, with swords and spears. He pitied those sailors, who had been roaming the river for many years. Experienced such a fierce battle? The stalemate collapsed immediately after a moment, and I only wished that my parents had not given birth to two more legs.
Yao Pingzhong was killing fiercely here. Wang Shunchen followed the general's order and led three thousand troops to respond. Seeing Yao Pingzhong's conflict, Wang Shunchen laughed loudly, sent his troops to bypass the battlefield, and went to the riverside to intercept first. Most of the navy could not reach them. The boat was blocked, and for a while the cry was loud.
In the past, Wang Shunchen had no mercy in shooting the Qiang people, but now he felt a trace of compassion and shouted: "Those who surrender will be spared death, those who surrender will be spared death." Upon hearing this, the sailors, as if they were receiving a general amnesty, threw their weapons away one after another. Wenbian fell to his knees and worshiped like a candle.
Seeing this, Yao Pingzhong didn't bother to kill more. He ran to the river bank, inserted his gun in the soil, took out his bow and arrow, and shot towards the river.
On the surface of the river, a small boat quickly rushed upstream. A dozen sailors were focused on rowing. Cheng Gui, the 'Jade Claw Dragon', was wearing a white costume and waved his gun to deflect the arrows one by one. In a moment, he was out of the range of his bow and arrow. , only a white shadow was left, and the curses came faintly along the river wind: "You bastard... How can I do anything... Grandpa... I will kill you... to take revenge..."
Yao Pingzhong abandoned the bow on the ground with regret. Wang Shunchen rode up to him. He smiled kindly and slowly got off the horse. He picked up the bow in the mud, wiped it a little, felt an arrow and nocked it on it. Pointing straight at the night sky, he turned his head to look at the white shadow that was getting smaller and smaller.
Yao Pingzhong sighed: "Although the old general is the god of archery in the Western Army, his manpower is sometimes poor..."
Halfway through the words, Wang Shunchen squinted his eyes, licked his lips with the tip of his tongue, opened his right hand, and an arrow disappeared into the night sky.
Yao Pingzhong was also skilled in the art of ejaculation, so he naturally knew that Wang Shunchen was using a projectile method to increase the range. However, firstly, it was night, and secondly, the river was vast, the wind was strong, and the ships were moving, so one can imagine the difficulty.
In Yao Pingzhong's view, if thousands of archers were to shoot at the same time, or even be blinded, it would be too much to believe that Wang Shunchen's shooting method was once known as the "Arrow God".
After looking at it for a moment, the white shadow almost turned into a white dot. Yao Pingzhong smiled and said: "That's it, this guy's life should not be cut off."
Wang Shunchen smoothly inserted the bow back into the side of Yao Pingzhong's horse, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let the arrow fly for a while."
Yao Pingzhong didn't expect the veteran to be so humorous and laughed: "Even if I fly to tomorrow, I'm afraid..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the white dot in the distance swaying slightly and falling into the water.
Yao Pingzhong exclaimed "Ah" and said loudly: "How is it possible? Come on, here are some people who know how to operate a boat..."
Not long after, a few soldiers who knew how to row a boat panted and dragged a corpse back from the river. Yao Pingzhong stepped forward and took a look, and his jaw almost dropped. This corpse was not that of someone else, but that of Fang La's naval commander, "Yu Pingzhong." "Clawed Dragon" becomes expensive!
It was not surprising that this guy was dead, but what really shocked him was that between Cheng Gui's eyebrows, an arrow penetrated his bone just inches away. Cheng Gui's eyes were wide open, with a ferocious smile still fixed on his face.
"Flowers between eyebrows..."
Yao Pingzhong read out four words in a low voice, and the arrogance that could always be felt from eight feet away suddenly subsided for the most part.
I couldn't help but turn to look at Wang Shunchen: "Old General, you are really amazing!"
Wang Shunchen, however, was not proud, and shook his head with a smile: "As long as you are familiar with it! General Yao wants to learn, I will teach you."
"Okay!" Yao Pingzhong was overjoyed. Regardless of the mud, he turned over and knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly.
Wang Shunchen laughed: "Well, it's rare for a general to be so sincere. I don't dare to take it seriously. Today I have military affairs, and I have taken the prisoners and returned to the commander-in-chief. Come to me tomorrow and I will give you some tips." Let’s talk to you.”
In this battle, only a few hundred sailors escaped. In addition to killing, more than 3,000 people were captured alive. Tong Guan ordered these people to hold knives and hold them to carry water to put out the fire. When the sky was about to get dark, the remaining fire was finally extinguished. However, this time Eighty-nine percent of the siege equipment built in a few days was burned.
The commanders of the first battalion, Ji Jing and Zhao Tan, came to report dejectedly. Because there was a fire in the Magong direct camp of the second battalion and they could not come to the rescue, Fan Rui and Shi Jin were killed and more than 3,000 soldiers were lost. Fan Rui, Shi Jin and others were killed. If you go forward, when the fire is strong, you can take the opportunity to escape.
When Tong Guan heard the losses reported by each battalion, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and his vision turned black. He couldn't help but make a desperate move and attack Wulong Ridge directly with the prisoners as the vanguard——
Suddenly Xin Xingzong, the commander of the seventh battalion, came with a face full of joy and reported: "Your Majesty, this Wulong Ridge is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If too much is lost here, it will inevitably be disadvantageous in the decisive battle with Fang La. The last few days have been very popular. Search the surrounding natives and find a path that can be used for marching, and go straight to Dongguan Town. Seize this place, and you can garrison the army. When you attack Qingxi again, morning will come and evening will come. Once Qingxi is captured, Muzhou will be restored to the land of the Song Dynasty. also."
Tong Guan was very surprised when he heard this and said curiously: "Many of his sailors were captured and two to three hundred of them were tortured to death overnight. No one knows what the trail is. How could you find out?"
Xin Xingzong smiled and said: "His sailors are not local people. They usually only stay in the camp for training. How can they know the geography? The last general is dedicated to sharing the worries of each other. Since setting up camp, he has sent soldiers to look around. , thanks to the great blessings of my benefactor, I was lucky enough to find out the road, and I personally checked it and it was correct, and I drew a map here."
After saying that, he took out a map from his arms and unfolded it in front of Tong Guan. Tong Guan took a look and found that it was indeed detailed and precise. He couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Xingzong, what you have done these days has the qualifications of a famous general! Take the first step. He made a great contribution to the planning of Hangzhou, and he did not hesitate to suffer injuries. He drove far away with light troops and captured the little thief chief Fang Tianding. It is even more of a great contribution. Now he also has the contribution of exploring the road and presenting the map. There are two generations of Western generals under my command. Many of them are outstanding, but No one is as outstanding as you!"
Xin Xingzong knelt down, hugged Tong Guan's legs and cried loudly: "There are five brothers in my family, and only one seedling is left. And I have been taught and cared for by Enxiang. I naturally go all out when encountering problems. Only then can I repay the kindness of Enxiang. I have to shoulder the responsibility of shining a bright light on the lintel of my brothers who died in the war."
He had been kicked by Li Tianyou before, and two of his front teeth were broken. Now he had a big black mouth open, his face was full of snot and tears from crying, and he felt very miserable. Coupled with the numerous achievements he had made, he suddenly looked like he was bravely serving the country. In front of Yueran, even though he was a young and mature man, he couldn't help but feel moved at this moment. He stroked Xin Xingzong's head like a dog and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Xingzong. I am not a ungrateful person. I will definitely take full responsibility for your loyalty, bravery and contribution." I will tell you to the official family. Alas, I am old. Once I have regained the old land of Youyun, I will retire after my success. From now on, the affairs of the country will be decided by your descendants."
Xin Xingzong heard this, and it was clearly a hint that Xin Xingzong should take over the military power from him. He was so happy that he kowtowed repeatedly: "If the general has a future, he will never forget the virtue of simplicity and simplicity."
I thought to myself: If I hadn't met my brother in Hangzhou, how could I have achieved great success so many times? Well, when Fang La is captured later and the southeast is pacified, I must choose a comfortable way to die and send him back to the west, so that I can live up to his wish for me.
It turned out that when Fan Rui and others retreated at night, Fan Rui followed Lao Cao's arrangement and deliberately fell behind. He used the spirit swallow method to pass the message, folded the talisman paper into a swallow as before, and flew to the Xinxing clan stronghold.
Xin Xingzong opened it and looked at it. On the talisman, it was clearly written: The mountains are dangerous and the passes are powerful. The soldiers are brave and they have to go straight ahead to get Muzhou. A miniature map is clearly drawn below.
You must know that Lao Cao is a man who keeps his word like a mountain. Since he promised Fang Qifu to guard the pass, he will naturally not lose it.
However, if he really goes all out, not to mention stopping Tong Guan from entering Muzhou, he will really defeat all his officers and soldiers, which is not an embarrassing thing.
If he hadn't deliberately spared the attempt to rob the camp, why would he have only burned three of his camps and then returned?
The purpose is to make Tong Guan know how powerful he is, to be afraid of difficulties, and then use Xin Xingzong to offer suggestions, so that he can go around and fight Fang La, so that he can take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of Fang La.
Naturally, Xin Xingzong would not mention a word about this internal situation. At this moment, after receiving such praise from Tong Guan, his bones became a few taels lighter. He stood up and clasped his fists heavily: "En Xiang, although this road has been explored, I don't know the danger. Yes or no, since it was the last general’s idea, I, the soldiers of Xihe, are willing to be the vanguard of the army and seize the east gate first, in order to wait for the grace to rest."
Tong Guan nodded repeatedly: "There is no one as loyal and brave as the son of the Xin family in this world! Since you have this intention, how can I stop you? However, your subordinates have been through fierce battles and suffered many casualties. So, I will let Wang Zhen lead the two men. Thousands of elite soldiers will help you succeed!"
Xin Xingzong thanked him loudly, turned around boldly, and went to reorganize his troops. Before leaving, he passed by Zhao Tan and paused deliberately. He let out an extremely contemptuous snort from his nostrils. Zhao Tan almost vomited blood with anger and stretched out his hand to pull. However, Wang Zhen stopped him and advised him in a low voice: "This guy has had bad luck recently. Don't argue with him." Zhao Tan said angrily: "Let's see how long his luck lasts."
Xin Xingzong returned to the camp and packed up his troops - all the wounded soldiers before had stayed in Hangzhou. Now he had more than 9,000 men under his command. He asked Yang Weizhong to be the vanguard and drove into the small road in a mighty manner.
Tong Guan didn't know that Lao Cao was plotting everything here, and he wanted to make arrangements to deceive the soldiers into hiding from the Wulongling defenders, so he ordered his troops to stay away from the stronghold, and the company camp was not moved at all, leaving Yang Keshi behind. The Huanqing soldiers were divided into seven villages, wandering around in the open every day, giving the illusion that the soldiers and horses were still there, while he led the army and followed Xin Xingzong.
Xin Xingzong led the troops in front, with his horses picking up bells and sergeants. He just rushed away. Halfway through, on a low ridge, there were three to five hundred southern soldiers stationed on the low ridge. They were originally guarding Wulong Ridge. Cao Cao took over. After clearing the pass, they were ordered to guard the road to prevent officers and soldiers from detouring.
When Yang Weizhong saw it, he led more than a thousand people to bravely go forward and killed them all.
In the afternoon, when we arrived at the east gate, there was a southern general named Wu Yingxing who led three thousand troops to guard the area.
This is exactly what it is: Yao Pingzhong is unparalleled in martial arts and Wang Shunchen is an expert in shooting. Xin Xingzong made great contributions, and Privy Tong traveled to Gaogang.
Happy Lantern Festival, fellow heroes!
During the Lantern Festival, I set off fireworks with my family. I only wrote about 4,000 words and published them in one chapter.
