Chapter 72 Reunion with old friends
[]
Sometimes the Military Supervisor's Inspector may not be able to scare anyone, but Xu Huai threw three people to kill, with a powerful aura as a human-shaped bed crossbow. Then dozens of soldiers rushed out from Xu Huai's side, and murderous intent raised a shield, spear, and bowed out after resisting the horse. Who dares to say that this scene is a fool?
No matter how arrogant these generals and soldiers were resentful, they would kill three of their colleagues after a disagreement. At this moment, they did not dare to rush over to push Ma Qiang down the city wall.
On the narrow city wall, one or two hundred people retreated hastily, and in a panic, one person was squeezed out of the marquee.
"ah!"
The shrill screams were particularly harsh in the quiet night.
Xu Huai looked at these people retreating to the horse-faced wall battle shed opposite him, and then called Tang Qing to the trunk beside him, and told him: "Some of these generals and soldiers can recognize me, probably from Tongbai Mountain - you send someone to find Du Zhong, Meng Laodao!"
Pan Chenghu and Guo Jun were still in Guilan, leading the remaining 300 soldiers of the military supervisors to follow Wang Fan, but Du Zhong and Meng Laodao, who were once the leader of Xiema Mountain, were instigated by Pan Chenghu to participate in the grain and grain affairs of Huanglongpo Post, followed Xu Huai and the others into Datong City.
Before the overall situation falls into chaos, Xu Huai cannot have conflicts with Ge Huaicong and others who are in power, or they will seize the big handle.
However, all signs indicate that tonight Xiao Linshi may lead 3,000 elite troops from Yingzhou to the north, and it is very likely that he will raid Shengdemen and suffocate the main force of the Tianxiong Army to death in Datong City.
Xu Huai couldn't really wait until that moment before taking action.
Although Xu Huai didn't know anyone about this part of the armored soldiers blocked in the northern city wall, he showed his reputation and clearly showed fear in his eyes. Basically, only people from the Tongbai Bandits Army would do this.
Xu Huai came over Du Zhong and Meng Laodao at this time, thinking that he would arrange for them to contact their old subordinates now, so that after the chaos would occur, he could directly master these troops at the fastest speed.
Tang Qinggang arranged for someone to climb the rope ladder down the city wall to find Du Zhong. Meng Laodao, but saw Xu Wukun climbing onto the top of the city with a rope and shouting: "Xu Huai, Xu Huai, see who is coming!"
Xu Huai looked into the city from the entrance, but saw that Zheng Tu was tremblingly holding the rope ladder, clamping his butt and climbing up, for fear of missing a few feet above his feet.
Xu Huai reached out to grab Zheng Tu's wrist, pulled him up to the top of the city, and said, "Why are you here alone?"
"I fooled Pan Chenghu, but he had to go to Zhu Hanlangjun first to answer the situation, right?" Zheng Tu looked down from Duo Tou, nearly five feet from the ground. He was so scared that he smacked his tongue and shouted, "This gray earth wall is not very good from a distance, I didn't expect it to be so high."
"Although Datong is far less prosperous than Xinghuai, it is known as the Northern Regional Town..."
Xu Huai didn't expect that Pan Chenghu would come to Datong with Zheng Tu, but it was normal to think about it. Pan Chenghu didn't know the danger of this trip and thought that there was great achievements waiting for everyone to share. He was so excited by Zheng Tu's statement that he was so hot that Wang Fan nodded and agreed, and rushed to Datong with a quick horse, but he would not be slow.
In the coalition forces of the village, Pan Chenghu and Guo Junjue's reputation was second only to Chen Zixiao, Zhong Changqing and Gao Xiangzhong, and were far from Du Zhong and Meng Laodao. Once the situation became chaotic, especially the establishment of the troops of various troops was disrupted, Pan Chenghu stood up to gather the old subordinates of Tongbai Mountain, which would be much more effective with half the effort.
"Uncle Seven..." Xu Huai was about to take Xu Wukun, and Zheng Tu went into the corner tower to talk about it, but he heard someone shouting timidly from the side of Juma.
He and Xu Wukun looked over, but saw a soldier evacuated from the North City Gate Tower standing on the side of Juma and looking at him.
After refusing the horse, there were people on guard, but as long as the opponent did not try to push the horse down the city wall or forcibly break through, it would not stop three or five people from approaching. After all, everyone was still a general from Dayue.
Xu Huai also blocked the way of these soldiers by simply using the name of the military supervisor and the institution's supervision of military discipline.
Since he was an acquaintance, Tang Qing immediately arranged for someone to open a gap and let the person over.
"Xu Xin!"
Xu Wukun saw clearly that the person coming was Xu Zhonglin's grandson and Xu Xin, the son of Xu Wuqing, was also shocked, grabbed his arm, and asked in surprise,
"How could you be in the army?"
Xu Wufu once sent Xu Xin to Zheng Hui and Dong Qifeng informed him. After that, Xu Xin was speechless. Everyone thought he had died in the chaos. Xu Wuqing even built a tomb for him in Yuhuangling, but he didn't expect that he was in the Tianxiong Army.
"When I was in Huangqiao Village, I asked the head of the family to send a scout to the bandits, but I didn't want to be caught by the bandits. They caught me and tortured me for a while, but somehow, they threw me into the jail and ignored me. The bandits surrendered, and I explained my identity to the soldiers, but the soldiers didn't believe it. They stabbed me and other bandits with golden seals in the face and sent me to Lanzhou to serve as soldiers..." Xu Xin also heard some things in the army that other soldiers from Tongbai Mountain bandits said, and knew that Xu Heng was beaten to death by Xu Huai in Huaiyuan Town. After that, Xu Wufu and Xu Chen died one after another. At this moment, they stood in front of Xu Huai and talked about their experiences over the past year, they were afraid that he would not believe it, and they were a little stuttering in their words.
He was also afraid of Xu Huai. He didn't dare to recognize each other when he saw Xu Huai just now, but Xu Wukun climbed up the top of the city and called out.
Xu Wufu sent Xu Xin to inform Zheng Hui of the details of the information that Xu Wuli knew best that Xu Xin was indeed kept in the dark from beginning to end.
Besides, after the death of Xu Wufu and his son, Xu Zhonglin and Xu Wuqing also fell in love with the situation. In order to aid Xu Wufu's old family, Xu Wuqing was elected as the chief of the Dazhai family, mainly responsible for the management of the north slope grassland.
Therefore, even if Xu Xin may have been forced to fall into the bandits, Xu Huai, Xu Wukun and others will never be able to pursue it.
As for the little grudges that happened in Huolutang back then, Xu Huai had long forgotten them and invited Xu Xin to go to the corner tower to talk.
"Who are you assigned to the Tianxiong Army? The North City Tower Gate was just attacked and broken. What is the situation?" Xu Huai just wanted to send Du Zhong and Meng Laodao to contact the old people in Tongbai Mountain. Unexpectedly, he would meet Xu Xin again. Of course, he asked him for some things directly.
"I was sent to Lanzhou to serve as a military force, so I was assigned to the third general and the sixth battalion as a soldier. The commander of the battalion was Zhang Kui'an. When Zhang Kui'an saw that I was literate and had a rough knife and bow, he asked me to serve him. Usually, he heard Tian Zhichang's greetings,"
Seeing that Xu Huai did not treat him evilly, Xu Xin also told him frankly about his nearly a year of military service.
He had no choice but to hide anything. He had no way to return home this year, and his previous identity was not even recognized. In the Tianxiong Army, he was just a thief soldier who was captured and fed. He was extremely excited when he saw Xu Wukun and Xu Huai, and hoped that through them, he would repay his family with peace.
"In the afternoon, the commander Zhang Kui'an led his brothers to seize the Beijing Gate. He wanted to suppress the rebels inside, but he didn't want the rebels to be extra fierce. After several attacks, he didn't make it in. After dark, everyone retreated to the city tower for a while, but he didn't want to steal a cold son by these rebels in the middle of the night. There were a lot of firewood, carriages and messy miscellaneous items in the city gate tower. When the rebels raided, they ignited the fire, and the fire could not be extinguished. We were trapped on the city gate tower and had to retreat here."
Looking at Xu Xin's military uniform, Xu Huai knew that he was not only taken in by Zhang Kui'an as a personal soldier, but also a team leader.
After listening to his description, Xu Huai can confirm that these are all secret hands that Xiao Linshi hid in Datong City, and had long been hidden in the other three city gates. Unfortunately, they delayed until this afternoon to distribute the troops to control the three city gates, but they did not arouse enough vigilance. They even asked the rebels to easily ignite these firewood and grass to disrupt the formation when they counterattacked at night.
Xu Xin saw Zhang Kui'an escape from the north gate under injury. Half of the people stranded on the city wall were Zhang Kui'an's troops, and some of them were Xiangjun, who were temporarily transferred to guard the city wall.
Most of the imperial guards of the Tianxiong Army were unwilling to miss the opportunity to enter the city to rob and rob.
These people are currently headed by Tian Zhichang, who was blocked by the refusal and could not retreat directly from the city wall to Shengdemen. Tian Zhichang was thinking of arranging one or two people to slip down the city wall first and report to Zhang Kui'an to negotiate here.
Although the city wall was tall, Tian Zhichang really wanted to find ropes, and even asked soldiers to untie the belts and take them together, and they slid down from the top of the city one by one, which took some effort.
However, in their eyes, the military supervisory authority was no longer a decoration.
Although Tianxiong Army did not know the real inside story of Nuanxiang Tower, Xu Huai defeated a commander beside the commander in front of Nuanxiang Tower. Perhaps ordinary soldiers had not heard of it. Tian Zhichang, as a general under Ge Huaicong, still knew about it.
So he was blocked at this time and did not dare to act rashly, so he could only send someone to report to Zhang Kui'an.
In addition to Tian Zhichang, three other ranks, including Xu Xin, were stranded at the city. Since Xu Xin was Zhang Kui'an's personal soldier, his status was slightly higher, especially those scattered soldiers who were disbanded, they recognized Tian Zhichang and Xu Xin.
Zhang Kui'an's troops were regarded as elite combat power by Ge Huaicong. Therefore, after the New Year, two thousand young and powerful Tongbai Mountain gangs were disbanded and placed in the army of Lanzhou, and Zhang Kui'an's troops were tilted.
At this time, there were two hundred people on the top of the city, and there were almost fifty or sixty people from Tongbai Mountain. Most of these people knew Xu Huai's "bad reputation".
The proportion of the old and weak in the imperial guards is indeed too high. Compared with ordinary soldiers like Xu Xin, who are good at swords and bows and are also literate, can be said to be a rare talent. It is normal for Zhang Kui'an to be recruited by Zhang Kui'an.
Back then, Xu Xin was frivolous and arrogant when he was in Yuhuangling, and after this year, he became much more calm in all aspects.
When the situation becomes completely chaotic, they just need to control Tian Zhichang, and Xu Xin is really the best candidate to come forward to master this army...
