Chapter 160: The Empty City
The gates on all sides of Huayang City have been demolished by Yang Lin. Yingbu led the bandits to the city. When he saw that the city was extremely quiet, he was a little suspicious and hesitant. However, when he saw the brothers around him, their eyes were shining, and they were astonished.
With the expression of robbing and robbing houses, he finally gave up the trace of hesitation, and then ordered: "Rush in, kill everyone, and bring the food and grass back to the stronghold."
"Kill, kill, kill——"
These gangsters made loud roars, as if they wanted to scare the people in the city. They were ready to kill, rob, and burn them all. Then everyone rushed in together, and they passed unimpeded, without any impact at all.
They came to the city despite the obstruction. When they saw the tents set up, the gangsters rushed over and screamed. Then they opened the tents one by one and started to kill.
However, to their surprise, there was no one in these tents. The gangsters were confused, but they didn't think much about it, thinking that the common people were timid and hiding.
"Search, search the whole city for me." Yingbu looked gloomy and rushed in with high spirits, only to find that the people were all hiding. The anger in his heart reached the top of the Tianmen Gate.
"No!" The gangsters quickly went to search.
"Brother, I didn't find the food and grass. Could it be that they were all hidden by those old guys?" The third child stepped forward and said in a low voice.
"It's possible." The second child also agreed, "These guys are afraid that we will come to rob them, so they might have hid them early."
"Yeah!" Yingbu nodded after hearing this.
Within a few moments, more than five hundred gangsters searched the entire city without finding a single civilian. At this time, they hurriedly reported the results. Everyone was very surprised when they heard this, secretly thinking that Huayang City is such a big place, and these
Where can the old guy hide?
"No!" Yingbu thought hard to no avail, and finally realized something. He exclaimed: "The express train has fallen into a trap. It must have been a trap set by Pei Jun for us." Looking at the empty city, Yingbu felt timid.
If this is the case, then this trip will be dangerous.
Upon hearing that they had been tricked, all the gangsters were panicked and looked at each other in shock.
However, at this moment, angry fighting sounds came from all around Huayang City, and some gangsters came quickly to report: "Brother is not good. Pei Jun. There is Pei Jun. We are surrounded."
"Kill--"
Because the gates on all sides of Huayang City were demolished, two thousand Pei troops rushed in and immediately divided their troops in all directions. They each came in from one gate and surrounded Yingbu and others in the city.
"Brother, let's do it."
The bandits did not panic. They were killed by Pei's army yesterday and lost their armor. They were already at the end of their game and did not dare to fight with Pei's army. Now being surrounded, everyone felt fear and despair. Although these people were extravagant and bloody.
life, but also fear of death.
Yingbu saw that the gangsters were all looking at him. He saw fear in their eyes, but he himself was extremely nervous. He swallowed, looked up at the noon sun, and laughed: "I didn't expect that I, Yingbu,
Today we have become a trapped beast. Brothers, if you want to survive, follow me and fight out."
After saying that, he led the group of bandits who had no fighting spirit and rushed towards the east gate, hoping to break out. Han Xin, Li Ba and others led the Pei army as if they were in no man's land, and any bandits who resisted were killed.
Li Ba was already red-eyed after being killed by random swords. He rushed to the front and scanned the surroundings with a pair of tiger eyes, looking for Ying Bu's figure.
"Young man Yingbu, don't run away." After fighting all the way, Li Ba was anxious when he saw Yingbu riding a horse and galloping away from the east gate. He shouted immediately, then wrapped himself in the horse's belly and chased after him.
"Stop him!" Yingbu panicked and immediately let the gangsters behind him fight to stop him, while he fled and continued to break through to the east gate. The leader of the army guarding the east gate was a Five Hundred Master. Although this man was brave,
But he couldn't compare with Li Ba. When he saw Yingbu charging towards him, he was so timid that he immediately rode up to challenge him. However, the gap in strength made him no match for Yingbu.
After a few rounds, he was stabbed off his horse by Yingbu and injured in the abdomen. The Five Hundred Lord remained brave and pursued him. However, other gangsters stopped him. He wanted to pursue but had to deal with the enemies around him.
Li Ba slashed with his sword and quickly rushed to the side of the Five Hundred Lord. When the latter was in crisis, he turned the tide and killed several people with one person, and then saved the Five Hundred Lord. But after a while, Yingbu had already rushed to kill him.
He was surrounded and then fled for his life in embarrassment.
"General, it's all the fault of the subordinates." Lord Five Hundred covered his abdomen and vomited blood as he apologized.
Li Ba waved his hand and said with concern: "Brother, stop talking. How can that fellow's life be compared with that of my brother? You two should protect the five hundred masters." He pointed at the guards around him and ordered, and then he rode on his horse.
Go after Yingbu.
Without Yingbu's command, and the gangsters had no intention of fighting, except for Yingbu, an expert in art, who bravely escaped, the others died and surrendered.
At this point, the Yingbu bandits in Qingyang Mountain were completely wiped out. The only pity was that Li Ba failed to hunt down Dao Yingbu and caused the gangster to escape. But even so, Han Xin believed that it would be impossible for Yingbu to survive from now on.
Made a difference in Sanchuan County.
After Yang Lin learned the news, he also ordered people to send the people of Huayang City back to the city. He also ordered Zhao Meng to lead the craftsmen to repair the city gates and walls and build many tents. Finally, he left some food.
Continue to lead the troops to Luoyang.
After spending a few days in Huayang City, Yang Lin was very anxious. He still didn't know what happened to Zhang Liang or whether Han Wangcheng had been rescued. After all, Han Wang was captured by Li You and he still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. Based on Yang Lin's attitude towards Zhang Liang
He knew that if the King of Han was still captured, the entire Korean army would be led by the nose.
Pei's army marched northwest, passing through Guanxian, Xingyang, Chenggao, and Gongxian. On the way, they also annihilated many groups of Qin troops and bandits, and destroyed several grain transport corridors, which Li You's garrison troops in various places heard about.
The color changed. After one small-scale victory after another, Pei's army became famous in Sanchuan County. In addition, he cared for the people and did not disturb them, so he was praised by the people of the old Han Dynasty along the way.
The whole army marched rapidly for more than half a month, and there were many fierce battles on the way. By the time they arrived at the outskirts of Luoyang, Pei's soldiers were exhausted physically and mentally. At this time, Yang Lin and the generals were resting by the river and received dry food from Xiao He.
, he took a few mouthfuls of food and drank some water, and the fatigue on his face was slightly relieved.
At this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats suddenly came from the distance. Hearing this, Han Xin immediately ordered the entire army to be on alert. Li Ba and others also held their swords and stood ready. From far to near, a group of cavalry of about a hundred people quickly
Running over, Yang Lin and others breathed a sigh of relief when they got closer.
