Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty-Six: The Attack on Yuncheng is More Ominous than Good (7)
"My lord, something is wrong, there is an ambush, there is an ambush," the general shouted in horror.
When Pi Guangqiu heard this, he looked around and saw no ambush. When he was hesitating, he suddenly heard the general shouting again: "They are all fake. They are all bait. Get out quickly." When the horse came closer, it refused to listen. In addition, the officers and soldiers who were going with it seemed to be running away, which made the officers and soldiers of Pi Guangqiu's headquarters also ready to move.
Pi Guangqiu grabbed the general who was running towards him and shouted: "Why are you panicking?"
The general said: "There is no one in the camp. All the people standing are straw men. This camp is empty and is just a bait. They are just waiting for the adults to lead the troops in before taking action. "
When Pi Guangqiu heard this, he frowned and asked: "You said those camp guards are just straw men." Then Pi Guangqiu asked again: "Have you searched carefully? Are there any important letters or messages?" What provisions are left behind?"
"There's not even a single figure, they're just straw men. After a quick search, there's nothing in the camp except a scrawled map. There's not even half of food and grass. This is just a bait," the general said. After walking around the camp for a while, he came back in a panic. He was asked to go to the bandit camp. He had already gone there risking his life. He thought this was the most risky thing he had done since sneaking into the camp. After he looked at those ghost-like straw men in the night, he already had the intention of retreating. He took a few cursory glances, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became. He always felt that there were countless eyes staring at them in the dark, and countless The sharp blades were pointed at their hearts. The general really didn't want to go out to work in the middle of the night. Even if he returned without success, he wanted to return to the city early. However, seeing that Pi Guangqiu had no intention of retreating, he He quickly added a sentence: "If the little ones go in and they don't take action, they are actually taking advantage of the adults' hesitation and playing a long game to catch the big fish."
As soon as Pi Guangqiu heard this, he glanced at the camp again, and then looked around at the surrounding fields, which were filled with black buildings and deathly silence.
"Sir, the bandits are so happy to have achieved great success. I'm afraid they have all gone to attack Yuncheng County. If they go back now, they can still get a share of the credit." Seeing that Pi Guangqiu didn't speak, the general tried to persuade him in a different way: "I'm late. , the credit belongs to others,”
These words touched Pi Guangqiu's heart. That day he sent me to Hujiazhuang as a bait. As expected, everyone in Liangshan was thrown into the dragnet. Instead, they pushed me away. They were afraid that I would take away your credit. How can this happen in the world? The truth, Pi Guangqiu thought of this, gasped and snorted hard.
Seeing Pi Guangqiu's sulky look, the general said immediately: "I heard that Song Jiang is always cautious and likes to sit in the rear army. Why don't we turn back and attack the rear army now and capture Song Jiang alive? It's true that your Excellency has been punished by the imperial court. Don’t forget the little ones when you reward them,”
"If Song Jiang has been killed and defeated, if we go back, wouldn't we be leaving our posts without permission?"
"The Liangshan camp is empty. We returned in time to rescue him. This makes sense. It's impossible to say that Song Jiang is fleeing back now. If we intercept him halfway, wouldn't it be easy to capture him?"
Coo, coo, coo, the owl screamed at this time, cutting through the dead silence of the night.
"Let's go back to Yuncheng," Pi Guangqiu suddenly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to make his final determination. After hearing this, the general was overjoyed, as if he had gone full circle to return to the gentle nest. Hurry up and gather your troops and horses and rush back to the city.
【Yuncheng County】
At this moment, the moon hung on the west tower, Luan Tingyu took the three heroes of the Zhu family and Li Ying, and Hu Sanniang suddenly intercepted the officers and soldiers who were ambushing outside the city and were preparing to implement the strategy of "closing the door and beating the dogs". Luan Tingyu intercepted them head-on, and Li Ying followed them. He led a troop of soldiers and horses to pursue them from behind. The three heroes of the Zhu family and Hu Sanniang came out from the middle and tore the two thousand soldiers and horses apart immediately. They were in pieces, and they could not kill half a column. In the blink of an eye, Luan Tingyu chopped off the head of the general in the rebel army, and the officers and soldiers were killed horribly, and they were instantly defeated and fled.
Sun Xin, Gu Dasao, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Lehe, Zou Run, and Zou Yuan led by Sun Li took a detour and went straight to the west gate. The officers and soldiers did not deploy any effective resistance at the west gate. Most of the arrows and feathers were transferred to various places in the city to kill "trapped beasts", while the officers and soldiers on the city top were all the original garrison of Yuncheng County. Those garrison troops looked at the brutal killings in the city and had never seen " The strategy of "lure the wolf into the house", and the general soldiers who were transferred did not care what they thought, they just wanted them to do it endlessly. At present, not many of the local officers and soldiers were optimistic about this strategy, looking at the noise and raging fire in the city. , I just feel that if this continues, it will be self-defeating. Sooner or later, Yuncheng County will give in. But having said that, after all, there were many soldiers and horses ambushed along the way. It turned out that the thieves who rushed to the west gate were defeated before they could kill them. These officers and soldiers guarding the gate were defeated. Happy and relaxed.
However, it was precisely these officers and soldiers who had this mentality. When Sun Li led a group of soldiers and horses to suddenly attack in the dark, the officers and soldiers on the city suddenly noticed and hurriedly responded. There were not many arrow feathers on them. Only limited troops were used to carry the wood and throw the generals down. However, after taking down the officers and soldiers, they carried the heavy wood to the edge of the city. When they looked down, they were dumbfounded. All they heard was like thunder rushing towards the sea. What should I do? Just when the generals who were guarding the city hesitated, the sound of arrows and feathers swished through the air. Those who stood The officers and soldiers on the edge of the city were hit by arrows and fell down the city together with the wood. About a hundred officers and soldiers on the city were shot to death one after another. No one dared to poke their head out of the passively resisting officers and soldiers, even the commander. The general was also hit by an arrow. He leaned under the arrow stack and gritted his teeth to breathe.
The firepower covered the city, and soon Zou Run came below. Zou Yuan came with a group of troops to attack the city. He shouted slogans and used his strength in one place, but with half a stick of incense, the officers and soldiers who were resisting inside the city gate were wiped out. They all collided with each other, and the city gate opened with a roar. Sun Li pointed his mace and shouted: "Come on," and a flood of brothers rushed in. Zou Run and Zou Yuan were the first to attack with two single swords. He led a group of brothers to cut down the resisting officers and soldiers below the city, and then attacked the city tower. The two brothers Jie Zhen and Jie Bao were usually not afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards, but today they were officers and soldiers without claws and claws. They could easily capture them. The steel fork in the brother's hand was swung more smoothly than the big knife, and from time to time he would throw out a poisonous flying knife, which made the officers and soldiers along the way unprepared. In addition, the two brothers Jie Zhen and Jie Bao were covered in tiger and wolf colors. Pi, now looking more and more scary, the typical look is that of a copycat king. Those officers and soldiers lost three points when they saw that the soldiers were not in contact. This is called Jie Zhen and Jie Bao. The two brothers killed each other happily. Since they were beaten by the government After entering prison, I have never been so happy. Now I am really proud and proud.
As for Sun Li, Sun Xin and Sister-in-law Gu, the three of them followed closely with their troops and horses, rushing into the west gate. They happened to meet the officers and soldiers from the city who had seen something bad coming and came to rescue them. The two groups were waiting at the door. "Meet on a narrow road" and fight in a bloody battle on the road.
On the other side, Shi Jin took Lin Chong, Kui Er, Shi Qian, and a total of four horses to gallop into the city. Although the city was blazing with fire, as soon as they entered the city, they happened to meet Li Kui who had escaped from death on the city. Waiting for others, they were surrounded by a large group of officers and soldiers. Most of Li Kui's clothes were burned off, and the scorched areas on the exposed tiger's back were even more scalded. The large number of beards on his chin were burned a lot. Now, His appearance really looked like weeds that had been chewed by vicious dogs. Although he looked miserable, he was no less ferocious and powerful than before. The pair of axes swung in his hands looked really strange, as if he was holding two gates. It seemed that the tiger was so powerful that the surrounding officers and soldiers were staggered by him, and no one dared to come forward to seek death. This scene also made Shi Jin and others who came to save him secretly praise in their hearts when they saw this scene.
"Brother Iron Ox," Shi Jin shouted, and he swung the dragon stick to kill him. He rushed past on horseback, knocking away many officers and soldiers along the way. He waved the dragon stick in his hand and killed the officers and soldiers coming up from the left and right. The beating resulted in a split brain.
Li Kui heard the sound and chopped down an officer and soldier. When he looked around, he saw Shi Jin galloping towards him, followed closely by Lin Chong and others. He felt so happy that it was hard to express for a moment, and his face showed a smile as clean as a child, grinning. He said: "You are here,"
Lin Chong's spear trembled, and he knocked over three or four officers and soldiers. He followed up and drove back the killings. He rescued the defeated soldiers who were slightly at a disadvantage from their difficulties. They all had burns of varying degrees. Although the pain was indescribable, compared to losing their heads, they were minor injuries that could be temporarily forgotten. Now everyone saw that the fierce general had become much stronger, and the fighting spirit in their hearts that had been extinguished was once again ignited.
At this time, Li Kui's aggressive and bloodthirsty temperament was aroused to the extreme. He tore his shirt completely open in one moment, exposed the strong muscles of his upper body and rushed forward with an axe. Li Kui liked to look at the arms of those officers and soldiers. The limbs were flying with flesh and blood under his crazy meat grinder-like slashing. The more exciting and bloody the scene, the more pleasure Li Kui got from it. He roared while killing, the majesty and might complement each other, and the more he killed, the smoother he became. Li Kui was becoming more and more relaxed. No matter what the next step was, he was almost going crazy. He would cut down the officers and soldiers whenever he saw them along the street.
In this way, Li Kui led the way alone, with Shi Jin and Lin Chong on his left and right, followed by Shi Qian, Kui Er and twenty or thirty men. However, Li Kui didn't know about this lineup. He looked at Shi Jin and thought it was just another large army. Here he was, and he had been tricked by the officers and soldiers on the tower before, and now he wanted to take revenge. He didn't care about anything and just went forward to kill. When Shi Jin asked Brother Song Jiang, he immediately answered that he was right in front.
Shi Jin was born to take risks and enjoyed this feeling. Obviously he didn't know Li Kui's temperament, but he took it seriously and followed him all the way...
