Chapter 52 Xiao Xian is dead
The fight was in full swing, but the city of Jiading became quiet because those who had the courage to leave the city had already gone out, and most of the rest were quails.
For example, the quail named Zhang on the city wall, as the county magistrate who assisted the county magistrate, did not take on the heavy responsibility, nor did he put down his figure and did practical things like Captain Wu. He only stayed by Gui Youguang's side all day long, as if this great scholar could guarantee his safety.
However, County Chief Zhang was not only a quail, but also like a cat who was only stepping on the ice. While watching the battle under the city with fear, he tried to let someone close the big open city gate.
"You can't close the door!" Zheng Ruozeng shouted angrily.
Before Gui Youguang, who was standing beside him, a steel knife was already on the neck of County Chenggong Zhang.
Zhang San grinned at Zheng Ruozeng and smiled, "The young master explained before leaving the city. If someone closes the door, he will kill him if he can't stop him."
County Magistrate Zhang collapsed to the ground with a weak leg.
Zheng Ruozeng covered his chest and took a few breaths of rapid breaths, whispering: "The township hero is not strong in combat, and he can only strengthen his momentum when he leaves the city. Once the city gate behind him is closed, he will definitely flee in all directions. Fortunately, the Qian family is prepared..."
Halfway through his words, Zheng Ruozeng suddenly found Gui Youguang's hands trembling constantly.
"Look!" Gui Youguang pointed out outside the city with a hoarse voice, "What is that?"
At some point, the moon secretly emerged from the clouds. Under the bright moonlight, Zheng Ruozeng, who was condescending, opened his eyes wide and looked carefully. A clear black shadow appeared behind the Japanese pirates.
"It's a reinforcement!" Zheng Ruozeng punched the city wall with a punch, shouting loudly: "The reinforcements have arrived!"
Gui Youguang didn't understand, but Zheng Ruo once understood.
There were few horses in the south of the Ming Dynasty, and even fewer war horses. Even senior generals like Lu Tong and Yu Dayou could not find many war horses.
The dark shadow gradually appeared in the group, at least a dozen tall horses that were accelerating in the front. Which Japanese pirate could produce so many war horses, even if there were, they would not be used on the battlefield, but should be sold to make money.
...
The night wind roared past his ears, the Japanese pirates' rear formation was already in front of him, and the cry of "Xiao Xian is dead" was right in his ears.
As the battle formation approached, Hou Jigao's inner tension had already disappeared. He bent slightly, his body fell down with the horse's running, and he grabbed the spear in his hand with all his strength.
The raid of more than ten war horses completely disrupted the formation of the Japanese pirates. Nearly a hundred Ming troops who were charging with long spears finally made the Japanese pirates lose their confidence.
"The reinforcements from Kingsoft Guard have arrived!"
Hou Ji roared high, and stabbed a Japanese pirate in his hand in the shoulder, but couldn't pull it out for a while. He gritted his teeth and fought hard, and the Japanese pirate was actually lifted up high.
This scene completely collapsed the Japanese pirates. Xiao Xian grinned and jumped off the bad horse he had stolen a few days ago, hid among the bandits and prepared to run away.
This time he was completely defeated. He didn't capture the city for five days, but instead stole the city, he was beaten by the darkness. Now the Ming army of Jinshan Guard has arrived, but although Xiao Xian was depressed, he has the confidence to make a comeback.
But at this moment, Lu Bin, who was already covered in blood, rushed to the front, and with sharp eyes, he glanced at Xiao Xian who was sneaking.
"Xiao Xian!" Lu Bin rushed to catch up. There were still many Japanese pirates, but in just a moment, Xiao Xian was empty.
"Xiao Xian!"
"Xiao Xian!"
The roar of the hoarseness made Hou Jigao, who was not far away, cheered up his spirit, put down the spear in his hand, and bent his bow and arrow immediately.
"Swoosh!"
Xiao Xian, who ran away shortly and was still scolding his subordinates, suddenly got arrows in his calf and fell down immediately.
Lu Bin, who rushed over, tried hard to pick up the cutting-edge spear and threw it out hard. The sharp tip of the spear sharpened by the whetstone easily penetrated into Xiao Xian's back.
The disappointed Hou Jigao glanced at the young general opposite. His body was covered with blood, but under the moonlight, it contrasted with a silver luster. This should be Lu Bin, the youngest son of General Lu Shen, who is really worthy of being a general.
Just as Hou Jigao was about to come over and give a few compliments, Lu Bin jumped off his horse and strode towards Xiao Xian. The waist knife in his hand was slashed down with another knife, then grabbed his hair and turned the steel knife around his neck.
The fledgling Hou Jigao was a little nauseous...
"Xiao Xian is dead!"
Lu Bin, who got on the horse again, rushed around and roared with a hoarse voice. This time the head in his hand gave his words sufficient persuasion.
"What a rash Zhang Fei!" Qian Yuan, who looked at this scene from afar, complained weakly, let go of his hand and sat on the ground with his butt.
"This time Mr. Qian won't talk about the tiger father and the dog son again." Zhang's yard guard laughed and squatted down, "To be honest, I, Old Zhang, were about to run away with the young master just now."
"It's pretty good, but it's too reckless." Qian Yuan pursed his lips hard and tried to secrete some saliva. He was too nervous before, and his mouth was dry and tight, "Lao Zhang, you're pretty good too."
The Zhang family guards kept bent their fingers. He had just fired dozens of arrows in succession. If it weren't for his magical arrows, the local warriors might not have had the courage to hold on until now.
I looked at the young man in front of me curiously. Although he was a scholar, he seemed very approachable. You should know that nowadays, literary nobles and martial arts are inferior, and it is rare for a scholar to call him Lao Zhang.
Although the moon was still above my head, the sky was getting brighter. The Japanese pirates either knelt down and beg for mercy, or fled in scattered places. Lu Bin and Hou Jigao, who refused to give up, led the Ming army to surround a group of dozens of Japanese pirates.
Qian Yuan didn't have to worry about the next battlefield cleaning, so he simply sat on the ground and watched casually. The neighing sound of horses not far away attracted his attention.
The horse circled back and forth around a corpse, neighing from time to time, and bowing from time to time.
Qian Yuan turned his head and didn't want to see it anymore. Similar things will continue to happen within the next seven or eight years.
But Qian Yuan, who had turned his head, saw a spear poking to the ground. A village man pulled out the spear and knelt on the ground. After a while, he carried a body from the ground.
Qian Yuan could only lower his head.
"Young Master, the statistics are out." Yang Wen, who was still covered in wounds, rushed over, "Thirty-eight cavalry who left the city died in battle, the township brave and the yamen runners died in battle... Five of us died in battle."
Qian Yuan didn't say anything, but just smiled bitterly.
The sound of rapid footsteps sounded behind him. Qian Yuan was too lazy to look back and stared at his trembling hands. He was in the criminal police force in his previous life, not in the special forces, so this kind of scene was inevitably nervous.
"Ahem."
Hearing the coughing sound of the Zhang family guarding the hospital, Qian Yuan turned around and looked at the front. Gui Youguang was standing at the front, followed by Zhang County Magistrate, Liu Dianli, Wu Captain Wu, and the smiling Zheng Ruozeng stood at the end.
He supported his hands down the ground, and Qian Yuan stood up with Yang Wen and Zhang San's support.
Before Qian Yuan could say anything, Gui Youguang, with a stern face, tidied up his appearance and bowed, "This time he was besieged by Japanese pirates, the whole country of Jiading County thanked Mr. Qian."
County Chief Zhang, who was a little weak, was saluting. Liu Dianli, who was guarding the city gate, looked pale but was saluting. Captain Wu, who had left the city together, was too short, and this gift was almost touching the ground.
Satisfaction grew in Qian Yuan's heart, and this emotion quickly occupied the whole body, but he immediately woke up.
Chapter completed!
