Outside Luzhou City, Liang Jun, with a total of about 80,000 regular troops and auxiliary troops, laid out a trap plan.
The outermost periphery is a hidden horse trap and a horse tripping rope. Going inside is a rough chariot position that has not been polished. After that is the armored sword and shield soldier position. After that is a buffer zone composed of ordinary Liang sergeants. .
After the buffer zone, there is the reserved execution ground, the most conspicuous of which are the two high platforms.
There is a splendid dragon chair on top. Zhu Youzhen is sitting on the dragon chair with her legs crossed. Zhong Xiaokui and other bodyguards are accompanying her. There are also many civil servants with humble postures decorating the high platform.
The other high platform was the real execution ground. Two women in embarrassment were tightly bound by ropes and kneeling on the high platform. On the side, two sergeants Liang holding horizontal knives acted as executioners. Yang Yan and Yang Miao, one red and the other Two strange figures in blue stood on both sides of the high platform.
Under the high platform, there were a group of people who were panicked but did not dare to panic. They were "invited" by Zhu Youzhen to watch the ceremony, and many people were driven over from Luzhou City one after another.
Without Liang, the soldiers simply checked whether the civilians were carrying weapons and then let them go to the execution ground without even considering whether the civilians among them were real civilians.
Lu Linxuan and Ji Ruxue themselves have no value, but they were tied to the execution ground just because they could attract valuable people.
In this case, how could Liang Jun prevent people of value from coming?
······
"General, it has been confirmed. There are horse traps all around Liang Jun. Chariot positions and sword and shield soldiers are also set up. The heavy cavalry has no chance to charge!"
A light cavalry squad leader came to Fengdu to report the results of the reconnaissance of his squad.
"knew!"
Fengdu waved his hand gently, looking at Liang Jun's position in trance, remembering the conversation between Jiang Yunqing and himself three days ago.
"Help me open a gap in Liang Jun, and I will go in and save people."
"The Fengdu Ghost Rider only obeys His Highness's orders!"
"When he wakes up, these are his orders."
"Then you can wait until His Highness wakes up before making any plans."
"I respect your decision, but I'm afraid that by then, you will have no chance to help."
The image of Jiang Yunqing turning around helplessly to leave would come to mind, and for a moment a wave of helplessness surged into my heart.
Judging from today's reconnaissance results, I am afraid that as Jiang Yunqing said at the beginning, the Fengdu Ghost Cavalry really can't be of much help.
Wang Yanzhang is not an ordinary person. The Fengdu Ghost Cavalry was able to show its prowess before because of an information gap. Liang Jun was completely unaware of the existence of the Fengdu Ghost Cavalry and never made a breakthrough.
If the operations of three days ago were repeated today, I am afraid that all the Fengdu Ghost Riders would overwhelm Luzhou City.
"Why!"
Fengdu sighed, a little helpless, but not regretful. Some things must be adhered to, otherwise once the lower limit is exceeded, it will be a disaster for both Fengdu Ghost Rider and His Highness.
He gently pulled the reins in his hands and left the high ground. Although they couldn't help much in rescuing people, they still needed to do the rescue work.
······
On Liang Junzhong's execution ground, the people were angry at Liang Jun but did not dare to say anything, but they focused their attention on the execution platform that was erected.
"What are you doing!"
"Said he was going to be executed."
"Aren't you going to behead those two girls?"
"That should be the case. I heard that these two girls are the wife and junior sister of Li Xingyun. By the way, you know Li Xingyun!"
"Hey, who doesn't know that Zhu...'Ahem' Zhu Youzhen (whispering) arrested a thousand people in the south of the city three days ago just to force that Li Xingyun to surrender."
"Then Li Xingyun has gone?"
"Not only did he go, but Li Xingyun is also a capable person. Not only did he let Zhu Youzhen (whispered) let him go, but he also ran away. You see, isn't this just because he was so angry that he captured his wife and junior sister? Here you go to blackmail people again."
"Not only did he run away, I heard that Li Xingyun also led troops to beat up Zhu Youzhen (whispering). Did you see that the dragon and chariot were gone?"
"Not only that, I also heard..."
"What are you shouting about? You keep shouting, be quiet, keep quiet, do you understand?"
A sergeant Liang held a spear behind his back and poked the butt of the man who was getting excited.
"Hey, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore, this military master, let's just shut up."
The man finished speaking with a low eyebrow and immediately shut up.
It's just the nature of the masses to gossip. If a group of people are forced to gather together and don't chatter a few words, who can feel at ease?
After the vicious Sergeant Liang left, someone else started to raise his head.
"Tell me, if Zhu Youzhen chops off the heads of those two girls, will he let us go back?"
This is the worried group. When you are in Liang Jun's camp, you can see Liang Jun's ferocious looks. It is normal to be worried.
"Maybe! Aren't the thousand people who were arrested in the south of the city released? I still have relatives in there."
This is an optimist who predicts the results that have not yet happened today directly from the process three days ago.
"But it was Li Xingyun who showed up, and he was the one who replaced those one thousand people!"
The speaker was a scholar wearing a kerchief on his head. He was not wearing a robe, just a simple short shirt with traces of sewing on it. There was no doubt that this was a poor family, so his words should be more realistic.
"This, this, what if Li Xingyun doesn't come?"
This was a fearful person, and he almost cried.
The emotions stirred up the people around him, and the people around him began to worry.
After all, there are prerequisites for the group of people who were arrested before to be released.
"Then Li Xingyun should be coming! Those are his wife and junior sister!"
The man raised his head and looked at the two embarrassed women on the execution platform. Originally, he only wanted to talk about his wife, but he couldn't figure out which of them was Li Xingyun's wife.
As for the junior sister, this thing is completely affable and distant.
"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't come. Where can I find a wife?"
A single man said disdainfully with his nostrils pressed together, as if he had seen through everything.
"Yes, yes, if you can save your life, you have to take it away with your life!"
One person glanced at the fierce-looking sergeants Liang holding spears not far away, and his body shuddered involuntarily. Anyway, he didn't think any fool would risk his life to save others.
"Hey, do you know that old Taoist priest?"
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed old Taoist priest spotted an old Taoist who was already arm-in-arm with several sergeants Liang, and quickly greeted the people next to him.
"Huh? Does the old Taoist priest have any acquaintances in Liang Jun?"
The people who looked over felt a little weird.
"Why don't we go over and have sex? Maybe they can let us go?" Someone suggested.
A group of people looked at him as if he were a fool, "Are you stupid? Did you see someone over there trying to get close to you?"
Someone forcibly turned the man's head to the side, and then the man saw that the old Taoist priest was closer, and there was a group of people who wanted to go far away, let alone come up to get close.
"Let's take a look!" The man hesitated.
Seeing the man's hesitation, a group of people nodded unanimously, thinking that this man was still a teachable child.
However, the man still looked over there with some doubts.
The old Taoist priest over there put his arms on the shoulders of the two Liang soldiers. The soldier on the left side of the old Taoist priest politely said to the old Taoist: "Taoist priest, tell me when can I Find a wife!"
"Get out of here, I'm here first, you have to wait in line for the special brew."
The soldier on the right side of the old Taoist priest was dissatisfied. He kicked the soldier on his left and looked at the old Taoist flatteringly: "Taoist priest, please do the math for me first!"
"you······"
The soldier who was kicked was a little angry, but seeing that this man was tall and powerful, he suddenly felt angry and dared not speak out.
"But······"
Seeing that the old Taoist priest was hesitant, the soldier secretly stuffed two thumb-sized pieces of silver into the old Taoist priest's pocket.
It was something he had pulled off an old woman's ear when he conquered Luzhou City. He looked at it and found that it was made of silver, but it was smashed into two small pieces of silver.
The old Taoist priest inadvertently lowered his head and glanced at the thing in his hand, then he shook it secretly, and after confirming that it was silver, he smiled and said: "Okay, I will do the math for you first, then!"
"Come on, let's look at the direction first!"
The old Taoist priest let go of the soldier, and the soldier immediately straightened his expression.
"Taoist Priest, just watch!"
After looking at it carefully, the old Taoist smacked his lips: "Tsk, tsk, I can't tell, you still have three fortunes in your life!"
"how do I say this?"
When he heard the word "wealth", the soldier suddenly showed excitement.
"When you were young, your family had quite a lot of assets. It was not considered a big fortune, but it could still be called a small fortune! It's a pity that the war broke out along the way and the family fortunes fell. Your first fortune ended here."
The old Taoist priest shook his head and muttered.
When the soldier heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "The Taoist priest's calculations were really accurate. In the past, my uncle was also the magistrate of the county. His family was indeed well-off. Alas, it's a pity that the war happened."
"I don't know, where are my other two fortunes?"
Facing the soldier's inquiry, the old Taoist priest raised his eyes slightly: "This second time, are you sure you want me to tell you?"
Hearing the old Taoist priest talking like this, the soldier didn't know what he thought of, and smiled awkwardly: "Taoist Master, let's talk about my third wealth!"
The soldiers looked expectant, but the old Taoist priest shook his head.
"Originally, you couldn't escape pretending to be rich, but you did something a little immoral. I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to get rich!"
"Um, what is immoral? What do you think of what the Taoist Master said? I, Wang Zhexu, have never acted openly and openly in my life, but I have done my duty. Have I ever done anything immoral?"
The soldier said righteously, feeling that every time the old Taoist priest said the word "bad virtue", it was an insult to him.
"Hey, Pindao, this thing is very hot to hold!"
As he said that, the old Taoist priest shook the two broken pieces of silver in his hand again.
The soldier suddenly panicked and said, "Please invite the Taoist priest..."
"What are you all doing here? Don't you know there's a big deal today?"
At this time, a squad leader of Liang Jun came over. He kicked and slapped away the soldiers of Liang Jun who were surrounding the old Taoist priest.
Seeing that all the soldiers had walked away, the team leader looked at the old Taoist priest flatteringly: "Taoist Master, why don't you do it for me too?"
"OK!"
The corner of the old Taoist priest's mouth curled up into a slight smile, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
On the other side, a sergeant Liang was guarding a woman with her hair in a bun, with some broken hair hanging in front, covering the left half of her face, and she was confronting her own length.
The woman lowered her head, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes. I felt pity for her. Only half of her face could be called beautiful.
The commander looked at his men, then at the sobbing woman, and finally pulled the soldier under him aside in a very iron-clad manner.
"Forget it, I also know that you haven't married yet. If chaos breaks out later, you can protect the girl and go to the Central Army. I'll go say hello to some old buddies later."
"But Songtou, I..."
The soldier lost his temper, and now it was his turn to feel embarrassed.
"Okay, just treat me to a few more glasses of wedding wine when the time comes!"
The commander gently patted the soldier's shoulder and walked away.
The soldier looked at Shi Chang's leaving figure with emotion, and felt very regretful for his impulse just now.
After that, he took the woman away from the crowd of people and went to the side.
······
On a tower in the Luzhou city wall, a figure in green was sitting on it, quietly looking at the Liang Jun military camp about half a mile away.
Beside him, there were four graceful figures accompanying him. They were the four great sage concubines Miaochengtian, Xuanjingtian, Guangmutian and Yangyantian of Huanyinfang.
Xuan Jingtian was holding a broad sword in his hand, which was the Longquan Sword that had caused a bloody storm before.
"Sir, do you really want to charge into the battle alone?"
Guang Mutian held a guqin in his arms, with a worried look on his pretty face, and said worriedly.
"Yes! That's an army of 80,000!"
Miao Chengtian looked at the formation of Liang Jun, whose number of people could not be counted, and felt a little frightened when he thought that Jiang Yunqing would be among them later.
"If the Empress were here, I would definitely not allow you to take such a risk." Xuan Jingtian also helped his sister to persuade Jiang Yunqing.
Miaochengtian's innate terminal pulse was cured by Jiang Yunqing, so the two sisters were particularly grateful to Jiang Yunqing. Naturally, they did not want Jiang Yunqing to take risks, even if Ji Ruxue was to be rescued, she was also from Huanyinfang.
Whether subjectively or objectively, they all felt that Jiang Yunqing's importance far exceeded Ji Ruxue's existence.
"Liang Jun's tortoise shell is too hard, and the Fengdu Ghost Cavalry is useless. The Chinese Army is Liang Jun's weak point, and the only way to open the situation is to open up the situation!"
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Jiang Yunqing shook his head helplessly. He really thought he wanted to join the 80,000-strong army!
There is really nothing we can do, Ji Ruxue can forget it, the problem is that Lu Linxuan is also waiting to be beheaded inside!
"But that's an army of 80,000!"
Yang Yantian, who had always been very aggressive, pursed his lips tightly, losing his previous vitality.
Jiang Yunqing stood up slowly, trying to appear as confident as possible.
"Believe me, they can't keep me."
