Chapter 42 The martial arts master
Li Xun and Gu Yong led eight thousand soldiers to Yingzhou City. Mao Anfu ordered people to open the city gate and welcome Li Xun and others in.
It was already dusk, corpses were everywhere in the city, and many soldiers were cleaning up.
Gu Yong asked: "General Mao, how is the battle going?"
"With Zheng Chun as the internal response, we rushed into the city very smoothly. The general who defended the city was unable to react in time. We blocked him in the palace and killed him directly. When the enemy saw that their general was killed, their morale was in chaos and they had no intention of fighting.
Under the leadership of the deputy general, we led more than a thousand of the remaining troops to escape from the north city gate. We killed two thousand enemies and captured three thousand, with less than three hundred losses of our own. It can be said to be a complete victory."
Mao Anfu said with a smile, obviously in a very good mood.
Li Xun didn't speak. He held his arms with both hands. His face was a little pale, his lips were purple, and his body was shaking from time to time. After being soaked in the rain for several hours, and the temperature was very low, Li Xun couldn't bear it anymore.
Mao Anfu noticed Li Xun's condition and said with concern: "Judge Li, I have already prepared hot ginger water and hot water. I will drink the ginger water and take a hot bath later to avoid catching the cold.
"
Li Xun shook his head: "I can still bear it. I'll talk to the general first."
Li Xun and others arrived at the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion and met Huang Xun.
Gu Yong told what happened in detail.
After hearing this, Huang Zhen nodded repeatedly and said in admiration: "Zhao Bo'an is indeed a wise and decisive person. I was originally worried that your entire army would retreat. This would give the other side a chance to pursue. Now it seems that I am worrying too much."
Well, with Zhao Bo'an in the army to stabilize the overall situation, Zheng Ze and others did not have this chance, but were tightly restrained in Mi County, unable to move."
Li Xun said: "Huang Baichuan is coming with an army of 20,000 people. Should we fight or defend?"
Huang Zhen pondered for a moment and said: "We have just experienced a big battle, and the soldiers are already exhausted. We can guard the city on the spot and wait and see what happens."
Gu Yong worriedly asked: "The fighting situation in Hongzhou is critical, why don't we go to rescue?"
Mao Fu'an smiled and said: "The general has sent five hundred cavalry, with extra war horses and flags, and thousands of cavalry in detail, to Hongzhou, to show off. When Yang Liecheng learned about this situation, he must have thought that the general personally led the army to rescue Liangcheng.
We will definitely withdraw our troops temporarily, and Liangcheng can be temporarily preserved."
Huang Zhen glanced at everyone and said: "I have arranged accommodation in Jiedu Mansion. You all go and have a good rest. When Huang Baichuan's army arrives, we should look for opportunities to fight with them. Once Huang Baichuan is defeated, Yang Liecheng will definitely not dare
If we attack Liangcheng again, we can only withdraw our troops to protect Ezhou."
"yes!"
Everyone bowed their hands and dispersed.
Now Huang Jie has 10,000 people in his hands. Although it is only half the number of Huang Baichuan's army, the gap between the two sides is no longer absolute, and the initiative has returned to his own hands. Huang Jie has the confidence and ability to fight with Huang Baichuan.
A life and death battle.
Late at night, Huang Baichuan led an army of 20,000 people and finally arrived twenty miles away from Yingzhou City, set up camp, and sent people to clear out the surrounding enemy patrol posts and explore horses.
In the Chinese army camp, Huang Baichuan stood with his sword in hand, and Huang Zhiwen stood aside. Ten meters away in front of them, there were more than ten men in black kneeling on one knee.
Huang Baichuan glanced at the soldier on the side, who had already opened a large box, which was filled with golden and silver treasures.
"Everyone, if I can succeed tonight, the treasures in the box will be available for you to take, and we will share the wealth."
The men in black looked at the treasures in the box, with a strong look of greed on their faces. They lowered their heads and shouted in unison: "I am willing to sacrifice my life for the general in order to gain wealth."
.....................
Li Xun drank ginger water and took a hot bath. Most of the chill in his body was gone. Then he drank some wine and ate something, then got into bed feeling dizzy and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Li Xun felt his pubic area swelling and was awakened by the urge to urinate. So he went outside, found a corner, took off his pants, and sprayed happily.
It has been raining heavily for several days, and now, the rain has finally tapered off.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound not far away. Li Xun subconsciously turned his head to look, with a look of shock on his face. He saw dozens of meters to the left, black shadows shaking in the darkness. Those black shadows,
With one jump, he reached a height of three to four meters and moved quickly on the roof. He was extremely agile and made almost no sound.
"martial arts master?"
This was the first thought that came to Li Xun's mind. Then he woke up and crouched down quickly. Li Xun was facing the wall. On the left side was a mountain rock as high as one person, which just blocked Li Xun's entire figure.
, so that the other party cannot see it.
Li Xun looked nervous and observed the movement not far away through the gaps in the rocks. Isn't the direction they were heading towards Huang Sheng's residence?
No matter how stupid Li Xun was, he still knew the intentions of these people. They actually sneaked into Jiedu Mansion and came to assassinate Huang Sheng.
After those people walked away, Li Xun quickly returned to the bedroom, took the sword and was about to rush towards Huang Xun. After taking a few steps, Li Xun stopped, thinking that those people were quick with their hands, and they were not easy people at first glance.
If he didn't understand martial arts, it would be useless to go there, so he sprinted out of the house.
There were dozens of soldiers guarding the outside of the house, and a leading officer was leaning against the wall with his eyes half closed.
An arm was placed heavily on the officer's shoulder. The officer was startled. He turned around and saw that it was Li Xun. He said unhappily: "Judge Li, it's so late and you're not sleeping at home. You're here to make fun of me."
What do you mean, me?"
The officer traveled for several hours and arrived at Yingzhou City. After a big battle, he was already exhausted and unfortunately was assigned to the drudgery of keeping watch. His mood was already not good. When he saw Li Xun, he thought he
He was teasing himself, and he shouted angrily, extremely dissatisfied.
Li Xun had a solemn face and said urgently: "Someone wants to assassinate the general. Go and rescue him quickly."
The officer was stunned and didn't believe it: "How is this possible? There are only a few of you living in the mansion, and there are no outsiders. I stayed here for half the night and didn't see anyone enter the mansion!"
While he was talking, a group of dozens of patrols passed by. The leading officer saw Li Xun wearing underpants and holding a long sword in his hand. He looked anxious, so he raised his hand to ask the soldiers behind him to stop, and walked over by himself. Strangely.
asked: "What's going on?"
"Captain Zhou, Judge Li said that someone wants to assassinate the general."
Captain Zhou looked at Li Xun, who stamped his feet and shouted anxiously: "I'm not kidding you. Someone really wants to assassinate the general. If you don't save him, I will save him myself."
Li Xun gritted his teeth and rushed into the house.
Seeing Li Xun's expression, Captain Zhou's expression suddenly changed. He understood that Li Xun would not make such a joke for no reason. Could it be that someone really sneaked into the house and wanted to assassinate the general?
"Wang Er, go to the military camp immediately to find General Jiang and ask him to bring his people."
