Lu Yuanyi commanded the guards to rush into the woods. He planned to kill all the opponents in an instant, but suddenly he saw that the opponent cleverly used cars as a formation, and what he held in his hand turned out to be a hand crossbow! He was shocked, and his hair broke out.
They were all raised up, but there was no time to make any changes. The guards in the horizontal squad had already rushed in front of the car formation. The first few riders were immediately shot off their horses by a row of oncoming crossbow arrows.
There was a car formation blocking the way, and for a while the war horses were unable to rush in, and were circling back and forth outside the car formation. The woods were no better than the wilderness, and it was very inconvenient for the horizontal guards to ride on horses. They were blocked by tree trunks and shrubs, and they were crowded together. The scene seemed extremely chaotic.
At this time, the crossbow arrows in the opponent's car formation were loaded again, and another row of crossbow arrows flew out before their eyes. This time they were closer, and the guards in the horizontal squad were scattered into a group. There were more crossbows, and there were four guards.
Being shot off his horse made Lu Yuanyi very heartbroken. He couldn't help but feel extremely regretful. He secretly thought that he had really lost his mind. He really shouldn't have been so clever. He should have just waited for the other party to enter the ambush. As a result, he led the cavalry to the woods.
When I rushed forward, I hit the opponent's crossbow arrow head-on, and in the blink of an eye, one-third of it was damaged. Who can I blame for such a huge loss?
But after all, the Hengban guards were Liu Shouguang's personal troops in the yamen. They quickly jumped off their horses under the command of Lu Yuanyi and rushed towards the car formation without fear of death. After a fight, the Hengban guards realized that this time they had a hard nut to crack.
The other party cooperated very skillfully and had a clear division of labor. Several people used wooden guns to protect the car formation, and a few people specialized in loading crossbows and shooting arrows. They finally rushed in at the risk of death, and were tightly entangled by several guys who were skilled in martial arts. The broken weapons in their hands.
The sword couldn't defeat the opponent's sophisticated sword and shield, and after a few rounds he was hacked to death in the car formation.
The most troublesome thing for the Hengban guards was the crossbows. More than ten guards had been killed by the crossbows! Lu Yuanyi was the most painful. His pain was that not only did he not have a crossbow, he didn't even have any armor.
It didn't even have a shield, and it was too crude. The elite horizontal guards suffered heavy casualties from the opponent's crossbows, wooden guns, swords and shields.
After a while, Lu Yuanyi reluctantly gave the order to retreat. The remaining ten or so guards of the horizontal squad pulled their horses and used the horses as cover to escape from the woods. Before leaving, two more were shot down by crossbow arrows, but they
No one dared to go up and help him.
At this time, Zhang Shiyi arrived panting with more than a dozen of his thugs. Zhang Shiyi had little experience and was afraid of being found out, so the gathering place was a little far away. When he ran over, the battle in the woods
It was over, and he was met with Lu Yuanyi's anger.
After venting his anger, Lu Yuanyi looked at the embarrassed guards one by one, and his thoughts were racing.
It was definitely not possible to go back in such a dejected manner. Half of the elite Hengban guards had been damaged, but not even a hair was injured on the opponent. Bi Yuanfu would not let him go without the Yameni taking action.
After thinking for a while, Lu Yuanyi had an idea. The opponent completely relied on the protection of the woods to set up a simple vehicle formation. If he could drive the opponent out of the woods and into the plain wilderness, why not let him slaughter him? Lu Yuanyi was right
The Hengban guards under him are still very confident. Although half of them are broken and their weapons are not as good as the opponent's, as long as they can fight head-on, they will try to get a few more killed by the opponent's crossbows. Once they rush in front of the opponent, they will fight at close range.
, can turn the situation around!
He asked the guards under him if they were wearing fire breakers and the new outfits of the guards, but they all said they didn't. He asked Zhang Shiyi again, and all the scoundrels under Zhang Shiyi also had expressions of embarrassment on their faces. Lu Yuanyi was so angry that he went up and kicked him hard.
He kicked Zhang Shiyi a few times. He suddenly remembered that the other party had lit a fire near the woods, and hurriedly ordered Zhang Shiyi to see if there was any fire. Zhang Shiyi asked his two gangsters to sneak into the place where the fire was lit, risking their waists.
However, he was discovered by Li Chengzhong and others, and several crossbow arrows flew in, killing one of them. Fortunately, the other one used a branch to hook out a piece of unburned firewood from the fire, which made Lu Yuanyi very happy.
Seeing that although the enemy cavalry had withdrawn from the woods, they did not retreat, and he could vaguely see the gang of thugs who had just passed by the official road rushing over again, Li Chengzhong knew that things were in trouble.
I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to fight out, but the opponent still had the advantage in numbers. They were just gangsters, but the dozen or so enemy cavalry who retreated were very elite. They launched several desperate attacks under such poor equipment. They were really brave.
Extremely! The most important thing is that he still has female relatives to protect. If he is not careful, he can easily be hurt by the other party, which really gives Li Chengzhong a headache.
After thinking about it, there was no good solution. When I was in a dilemma, I saw two scoundrels secretly going to the place where the fire was just made, and using branches to stir up the firewood. There were soldiers who had already stepped forward and fired crossbows, but only one of them was shot down.
Another rogue hooked out a piece of firewood that was still burning.
Now things were not going well. Li Chengzhong quickly asked the women to get on the cart, untied the cart from each other, asked everyone to mount their horses, reloaded the crossbow, and was ready to rush out at any time.
Not long after, a burst of smoke was seen outside the woods, and there were faint flashes of flames.
After waiting for a while and judging the direction of the enemy's fire and the direction of the wind, Li Chengzhong told everyone: "After rushing out, shoot the crossbow and aim at the horse! Don't stop after shooting, go directly to the official road. You can drive on the official road."
Move quickly." He then ordered Wang Sili, Rhee Chengwan and Liu Ba to guard the chariot and asked them not to look back. He also ordered others to follow him behind and be sure to entangle the enemies on horseback.
After the distribution was completed, Li Chengzhong gave the order and the convoy rushed out from the chosen direction.
As soon as he rushed to the edge of the woods, he saw a huge chaos outside. More than ten cavalry generals were fighting with the enemies who had just besieged him. Li Chengzhong took a quick look and saw Li Chengyue who was fighting. He was overjoyed immediately and led others to join the battlefield.
As soon as the crossbow arrows were released, several more enemy cavalry fell off their horses. When Li Chengzhong led Zhang Xingzhong and others to charge, the enemy could no longer hold on.
As expected, these enemy cavalry were brave and brave. They refused to escape in the face of a huge disadvantage. They were surrounded by Li Chengyue and Li Chengzhong and killed them all. The leading leader gave a bitter smile, said nothing, and immediately killed himself with a sword. The rest
The gangsters fled in all directions, but how could they escape the four-legged war horses? They were all rounded up and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
Li Chengzhong smiled and asked: "Why did Dejian come here? You came at the right time. Otherwise, Lao Li, I would have been embarrassed this time."
Li Chengyue said with a smile: "I just wanted to send Brother Zicheng off again, but I didn't expect that when I chased him here, I saw these people setting fire here. One of my brothers recognized that guy..." The spear in his hand was lit.
Pointing at the enemy cavalry leader who had committed suicide just now, he added: "Hey, Lu Yuanyi, if all the yangban under the yamen are dead, you know something is up to you..." After saying that, he nodded and smiled at the driver in the distance, but it was
Lan'er lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at him.
Li Chengzhong Yile: "Don't use me as an excuse in the future!" The two looked at each other and laughed.
Wang Dalang, Wang Sili, Li Chengwan and others all came up to meet Li Cheng, but Zhang Xingzhong did not come over with a serious face, greeting his parents while driving.
Not having to worry about Li Chengzhong and the others, Liu Ba had already taken the initiative to ask about the gangsters, and of course they kicked and punched them. The gangsters were all frightened and told them everything they knew as if they were pouring beans.
beg for mercy.
Although the gangsters knew only a limited amount, it was confirmed one after another that the fact that Liu Shouguang sent people to intercept and kill him in the Yamen was clear and unmistakable. Everyone was furious. Li Chengyue's eyes were red, and he rushed back to Youzhou to settle the score with Liu Shouguang.
Li Chengzhong hurriedly grabbed him and asked: "Do you really want to go back to settle the score with him? First tell me, what algorithm are you planning?"
Li Chengyue gasped and said: "Go back and kill him! If you dare to blatantly steal someone's woman..."
Although Zhang Xingzhong was far away, he kept listening to the conversation with his ears pricked up and immediately said angrily: "Who is your woman?"
Li Chengyue felt slightly embarrassed and was speechless.
Li Chengzhong couldn't help but laugh, and asked again: "What happens after you kill him?"
Li Chengyue said angrily: "So-and-so goes to plead guilty to the commander! No big deal, no matter what, it's worth his life!"
Li Chengzhong shook his head: "Is it that simple? If you really die, what will your family do? Liu Shouguang is the son of the commander-in-chief. If we go back to Youzhou like this, we will definitely not get anything cheap."
Li Chengyue said bitterly: "Even if I don't kill him, I still have to beat him half to death and let out such a bad breath! Can Brother Zicheng be able to swallow this breath?"
Li Chengzhong gritted his teeth and said: "Of course I can't swallow it. One day, I will take revenge for this!"
The two discussed it and each asked a soldier to report today's events to Zhou Zhiyu and Li Juncao. Li Chengzhong didn't know how Li Chengyue reported to his father. Li Chengzhong's oral message to Zhou Zhiyu was as follows: The incoming attack
All the soldiers and horses have been killed. If Zhou Zhiyu thinks that they should be exposed, then he will report it to the commander. If Zhou Zhiyu thinks that the time is not right, he will temporarily endure it for the future. As for how to deal with it, it is all up to Zhou Zhiyu.
command.
After pulling the remaining rogues to the hillside and killing them all, the group set off on the road again. When they arrived in Sanhe County, the official road was divided into two, one going north and one going east. Li Chengyue was supposed to do other things here, but he
They shamelessly continued to follow them to Yutian, and then said goodbye to everyone. Li Chengzhong and others continued eastward, heading for Pingzhou.
After arriving in Pingzhou, Li Chengzhong met with Zhang Zaiji and told him everything about his trip to Youzhou. Zhang Zaiji had already received the report and appointment from Youzhou, but he still listened carefully to Li Chengzhong's report. After listening, Zhang Zaiji
Li Chengzhong listened to Li Chengzhong's opinions on the appointment and dismissal of relevant civil officials in Liucheng and Yanjun. Li Chengzhong also asked Zhang Zaiji to settle Zhang Xingzhong's family, so there was no reason to disagree.
After staying in Pingzhou for a day, Li Chengzhong left Yuguan and returned to Liucheng.
…
Youzhou Jiedu Mansion Study Room.
Liu Rengong picked up an inkstone on the table and smashed it headfirst into Liu Shouguang, who was kneeling on the ground.
Liu Shouguang tilted his head in fear, but did not avoid it. He was hit on the head by the inkstone, splashing ink all over his head.
Liu Rengong said angrily: "Who gave you the courage to intercept and kill a general in the army? Tell me! Who gave you the courage?"
Liu Shouguang lay on the ground and cried loudly: "Sir, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down! My son did not want to intercept and kill him, he just went to beg horses for Zhao Sanlang. Li Chengzhong detained Zhao Sanlang's horse for no reason. His son was so angry that he sent someone to scare him.
If you scare him, who knows, he will actually use a weapon, and my son didn't expect it..."
Liu Rengong grabbed the pen holder on the table and threw it again, but this time it hit Liu Shouguang on the forehead, causing Liu Shouguang to bleed profusely.
"You still dare to quibble! If Zhao Ba, the war horse of the Zhao family, is not going to get it, but you insist on standing up for him? Then you are a complete idiot!"
Liu Shouguang did not dare to say anything more, but kept kowtowing.
Liu Rengong was so angry that he kept beating and scolding "bastard!" and "bastard!" Then he got up from behind the desk, grabbed Liu Shouguang out in a few steps, and kicked Liu Shouguang hard. He was beaten in a fight.
The military governor used his feet with great force and kicked Liu Shouguang so hard that he couldn't even breathe.
Qi, who was hiding outside the door, couldn't bear it anymore. She burst in crying, hugged Liu Shouguang on the ground and said, "Stop fighting! If you hit me again, you will be beaten to death! My son, my biological son, you too
A hand that can hit you so hard! If you want to beat me, just beat us two to death together!"
Liu Rengong said angrily: "It's all you who allowed such a dandy to come out. Now that Youzhou's great enemy is in front of you and all the soldiers need to die, this evil beast has done such a heartbreaking thing. How can I tell Zhou
I want to ask for an explanation? How can I explain it to all the soldiers in the army?"
Mrs. Qi burst into tears and kept pleading. Liu Shouguang fell into his mother's arms and was so frightened that he couldn't stop saying, "I know I was wrong! I won't dare to do it anymore!"
After crying for a while, Liu Rengong couldn't really kill his own son after all. He sighed and asked the maid to pull Qi out, and then said to Liu Shouguang: "Now that the war is coming, let's send this dog head of yours for now!
When you get back, write a letter of repentance and send it along with an apology! Remember, the letter must be written in your own hand, and the apology must be generous! If there is even the slightest mistake, I will hand you over to Li Chengzhong and let Li Chengzhong deal with you! Get out of here!"
Liu Shouguang agreed, got up, wiped the ink and blood on his eyes with his sleeves, turned around and walked out in despair. As soon as he reached the door, he suddenly heard Liu Rengong say again: "You are not allowed to do anything without permission in the future.
Go in and out of the back house!”
This sentence frightened Liu Shouguang to the point of splitting his liver and gallbladder, his legs and feet were sore and weak, and his heart was shaking. He felt like the world was spinning, and he almost didn't fall down on the spot.
