With Feng Xiaoci's approval, the Sui soldiers rushed into the col with strange screams like galloping horses with their bridles removed, throwing swords, guns, bows and arrows everywhere. Suddenly, the sound of rapid horse hooves came from outside the col, and Shi Danai led three men.
Thousands of cavalrymen came to fight. There was only one entrance to this mountain col, which was not suitable for cavalry fighting. But after hearing the heartbreaking cries of the children in the mountain col, the cavalrymen could no longer care about it. Many people simply jumped off their horses and
He picked up the knife and rushed in along the mountain road.
This was a hand-to-hand battle. After a brief panic, the Sui soldiers under Feng Xiaoci began to fight back. There were shouts and fighting in the mountain col, and from time to time there were screams and desperate cries of death. Shi
Danai rushed to the front brandishing a copper stick. His strength was not lacking. Every time the stick went down, a Sui soldier was knocked to the ground. Either his bones were broken or his tendons were broken, or his head was blown. He was invincible and no one was around.
Dare to challenge him.
Liu Ziqiu has always hoped to avoid this kind of melee, but the situation is not determined by anyone. When it is inevitable, the only choice is to see who is braver. Feng Xiaoci's troops are in chaos, but Shi Danai and others are trying to save the boys and girls, and their morale
It was prosperous. But after all, the two sides were vastly outnumbered, so they could only manage a draw.
Feng Xiaoci was not as impatient as his men. Although the two girls selected by the soldiers were young and beautiful, he just held them in his arms and played with them, and was not in a hurry to take action. When Shi Danai's cavalry came in, Feng Xiaoci
He reacted quickly, grabbed a big flag, and waved it himself. The big flag was an important means of combat command, and it was not originally suitable for use at night. However, there were many bonfires lit in the mountain col, which illuminated it as bright as day, but it provided him with
convenient.
With Feng Xiaoci's command, his Sui soldiers gradually gained the upper hand with their numerical superiority. In addition, it was clear that the enemy numbered only two to three thousand people, and their morale was even higher. However, Shi Danai's men were all cavalry and infantry.
Fighting was not their strong point. Except for a group of cavalry at the entrance of the mountain col, the others were gradually defeated.
At this time, Shi DaNai also saw Feng Xiaoci who was waving the battle flag. Although he did not know that Feng Xiaoci was the commander of the Sui army, he knew that the Sui army's gradual formation was all due to the command of that big flag. Shi DaNai
Nai's eyes were already red with blood. He shouted loudly, waved his stick and rushed towards Feng Xiaoci.
Over there, Feng Xiaoci also noticed Shi Danai. He waved his flag, and a group of Sui soldiers surrounded Shi Danai. Shi Danai waved the wrought copper stick vigorously, and every time he took a step forward, a wave of Sui soldiers surrounded him.
Five or six corpses lay down, and the blood dyed the robe red. Although Shi Danai was brave, he could not withstand the large number of people on the other side. Gradually, he had been slashed five or six times, and the speed of waving the copper stick also slowed down.
Suddenly, a long stick stabbed in front of him. Shi Danai's movement slowed down a little, and with a "pop" sound, the long stick penetrated into his right chest. The one who used the stick was a captain in Feng Xiaoci's army.
He was overjoyed when he succeeded in the attack. He was about to pull out the long spear and deliver another fatal blow when he saw Shi Danai roar angrily and wave the copper stick to his chest, breaking the spear into two pieces. Shi Danai took a step forward and struck out with his hand.
The stick hit the captain's head, smashing it into pieces and leaving it shapeless.
When all the troops saw that Shi Danai was coming towards him like a ferocious spirit, they were all frightened and fled to both sides. Feng Xiaoci was also so shocked that he forgot to wave the flag for a moment. His soldiers were all commanded by the flag, and the team suddenly became chaotic.
Shi Danai endured the severe pain, fought all the way, and rushed in front of Feng Xiaoci in three or two steps. Feng Xiaoci finally woke up, but it was too late to wave the flag again. Feng Xiaoci was from the military, so his reaction was not
Not slow. Seeing the cooked copper stick falling on his head, he threw away the flag and dodged to the side, already dodging the powerful and heavy stick.
Taking advantage of Shi Danai's use of the stick, Feng Xiaoci stretched out his hand to grasp the tail of the stick and carried it into his arms. Although Shi Danai looked tall and thick, he was actually good at sumo wrestling and was extremely flexible. Seeing that the momentum was not right, he
Feng Xiaoci suddenly let go. Feng Xiaoci couldn't hold it back. He hugged the cooked copper stick and fell to the ground. Shi Danai raised his foot and kicked Feng Xiaoci's left leg. With a crisp "click" sound, Feng Xiaoci let out a sad scream.
He screamed and fainted immediately.
This scream completely shattered the fighting spirit of the Sui soldiers. They never heard Feng Xiaoci's voice again, nor did they see Feng Xiaoci stand up. They all thought that he had been killed. Suddenly, people were panicked.
However, the morale of Stanet's nomadic cavalry soared, and the situation of victory and defeat was reversed instantly. The Sui soldiers only lasted a stick of incense before being defeated, and they surrendered one after another.
Seeing that the battle situation had been decided, Shi Danai, who had been struggling to hold on, felt his eyes go dark and fell to the ground.
"General! General!" The soldiers gathered around one after another, and many boys and girls who had survived the disaster also crowded over.
Shitanai struggled to open his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Send the children home."
After saying that, Shi Danai closed his eyes and lay there motionless. But the boys and girls just cried and cried. No matter how the soldiers tried to persuade them, no one wanted to leave. Suddenly, a young man squeezed through the crowd.
After checking Shi Danai's breathing, he shouted loudly: "Quick! Everyone give way, the general may be able to save him!"
…
But it was said that Liu Ziqiu led five thousand nomadic cavalry across the Haodan River overnight and arrived in Changsong County, thirty miles south of Guzang City, in the early morning. When the scouts came to report, the Changsong City Gate had not yet been opened, so Liu Ziqiu ordered the three armies to gather in a small forest.
He was resting inside. Suddenly there was a noise on the road not far away, and a group of people could be vaguely seen walking towards Changsong County. Liu Ziqiu led a hundred or ten soldiers and quietly surrounded them, waving gently.
The soldiers rode forward and surrounded the group of people.
Liu Ziqiu shouted in a deep voice: "Don't shout at anyone, we will kill anyone who shouts!"
He secretly used his inner strength, and the sound was not loud, but it made people's ears hurt. The group of people were so frightened that they fell to their knees with "thump, thump". When Liu Ziqiu looked again, it turned out that they were all selling vegetables in the city.
There were vegetable farmers, some were pushing carts, others were carrying burdens, and the green fruits and vegetables were scattered all over the ground.
A bolder vegetable farmer knelt forward and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, we are all poor people. We only have these fruits and vegetables. If your Majesty likes them, take them away. I hope you will be spared."
.”
Liu Ziqiu suddenly had an idea and said: "Keep all your things and take off all your clothes!"
A few vegetable farmers were still unwilling to give up, but when they saw the steel knives shining around them, they had no choice but to swallow their anger. Fortunately, the weather has been warm these days, so they all stripped down to their underwear. Although they were shivering, they could still hold on. Liu Ziqiu
He waved to Ji Rentai, who took out a bag of silver, which amounted to more than fifty taels.
Liu Ziqiu handed the money to the vegetable farmers and said: "I bought all these vegetables, and all the cars and burdens were requisitioned. The money will be used as compensation."
Several vegetable farmers thought their lives were in danger, but they were overjoyed when they didn't expect there was still money to be had. The bolder vegetable farmer asked again: "I wonder which mountain the king made his fortune on?"
"You really think of me as a bandit who cuts the path." Liu Ziqiu laughed and scolded, "I am an army from the Sui Dynasty. I came to suppress the rebellion. I will lend you some clothes. If you are reluctant to part with these things, you can go to the city to get them later.
"
At this time, soldiers had already changed into the clothes of vegetable farmers, carried burdens, pushed carts, and headed for the city gate.
It was getting brighter in the east, and the city gate slowly opened with a creak. The "vegetable farmers" swarmed in, and the gatekeepers stopped them cursing and were about to collect taxes. Suddenly, there was a flash of cold light, and a steel knife was already placed on the neck.
"Vegetable farmer" whistled several times, and a large group of cavalry came galloping from outside the city, waking up the defenders on the top of the city, but it was too late for them to stop them. The cavalry was very fast and quickly galloped through the streets and alleys of the city, occupying
Four gates occupied the county government office. Unfortunately, the county magistrate of Changsong was still hungover and became a prisoner.
After entering the city, Liu Ziqiu stopped for a while and then led his army to kill Ben Guzang. At this time, it was already dawn, and many people had already entered the fields and started the intense autumn harvest. When Feng Xiaoci left Wuwei last night, he had already sent people
The village chiefs and township chiefs were notified, warning them that there might be an invasion by nomadic tribes. When the people working in the fields saw thousands of cavalry appearing on the road, they suddenly panicked. Many people didn't even have time to pack away their farm tools and hurriedly
They fled home. They didn't have much property, and they had already packed up their belongings. They packed their small burdens on their backs, dragged the women and children, and fled to the nearby ravines and jungles. Now it was important to save their lives, and the fields were ripe.
The crops were also abandoned.
These five thousand cavalrymen were all liberated slaves. Many of them were good at farm work before they were kidnapped. When they saw the golden ears of grain in the fields, they couldn't help but whisper: "Look at this situation, there should be a bumper harvest this year."
.”
An experienced soldier shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. You see, the weather is so good, but no one comes to harvest. If it rains, it will be all over."
Although Liu Ziqiu grew up in the countryside, he had never done much farm work and didn't know what was going on. After listening to the soldiers' chat, he couldn't help but rein in his horse and asked: "What trouble will there be if we don't harvest now?"
A soldier said: "My lord, if you don't harvest quickly, the millet may sprout on the branches. This year's production will be reduced or even no harvest."
"So serious?" Liu Ziqiu was startled, turned around and ordered, "Everyone dismount. Those who can do farm work will help the people harvest the crops. Those who can't do farm work will go to nearby villages to find the people and tell them not to panic and let them come back and continue working.
live."
Daleng frowned and said: "Lord, if this happens, our whereabouts will be leaked, and Guzang City can only be attacked by force."
"If you attack with force, attack with force!" Liu Ziqiu waved his hand without any doubt and said, "The people will starve if they don't harvest. The right way is to help the people solve their problems first!"
