"Brother, who do you think can compare with him in Black Wind Mountain?" Yang Xiong shook his head and said contemptuously: "No one can compare with him, not even Black Panther!" Then he looked at Shi Ping in confusion, "Brother
, what do you mean by that?" Yang Peng was sleeping on the city gate building. He was woken up before dawn the next day. Seeing Chen Jie standing in front of him with an excited face, he asked in confusion
"What happened?" Chen Jie said anxiously: "Miss Chai has been found!" Yang Peng was stunned, and Gulu stood up immediately, "Where is she?" "Yang Guihua has taken her to the post house!
"
Yang Peng said angrily: "This woman makes people worry!" He then ran out of the city gate tower. He hurried back to the post house and saw Chai Yonghui sitting in the hall eating, wolfing down food, and he had completely lost his identity.
A young lady should be reserved. Her hair is messy, her face and body are covered in stains. Although she hasn't seen her for only a few days, she seems to have lost a lot of weight.
The anger in Yang Peng's heart suddenly disappeared at this moment. He walked to Chai Yonghui and looked down at her, not knowing what to say. Chai Yonghui felt someone coming and raised his head. When he saw Yang Peng, his eyes immediately became
She became uneasy, lowered her head, and stopped eating. Yang Peng sat down in front of her and sighed, "Are you okay?" Chai Yonghui nodded.
"Go take a shower first, change your clothes, and we'll talk later." Chai Yonghui nodded again. He raised his head and glanced at Yang Peng, then quickly lowered his head again and said in a voice as quiet as a gnat: "I'm sorry!...
..." "What? I didn't hear it!" Chai Yonghui raised his head with red cheeks and said with some annoyance: "I said I'm sorry!"
Yang Peng chuckled, "What a young lady! Even her words of apology were so arrogant and domineering!" Chai Yonghui was very angry, but had nowhere to vent. He could only stare at Yang Peng with his big, beautiful and clear eyes, ***
* Heaved violently. "Okay, okay, don't be angry. I made a mistake."
Chai Yonghui smiled. Yang Peng asked: "You won't run around anymore, right?" Chai Yonghui shook his head. Yang Peng said with a smile: "What do you mean when you shake your head? Are you not running outside, or are you not listening to me?"
Chai Yonghui said: "I won't run away again."
Yang Peng smiled. Chai Yonghui stood up and said, "I'm going to take a shower." Then he left the hall. Yang Peng asked Yang Guihua who was standing aside: "Where did you find her?"
Yang Guihua replied: "I found Miss Chai in Zhangshu Village. Last night, when I was about to evacuate, I suddenly found someone sneaking out of the Heifengshan military camp. I thought there might be something behind this, maybe something similar to
Miss Chai was related, so we ordered someone to send a message to Xue Fu, and then led the people to follow her. It can be regarded as Miss Chai's auspicious relationship. The person we followed was actually Wang Dayong's crony, and he was going to Zhangshu Village to transfer Miss Chai. We
After discovering Miss Chai, we immediately took action, killed the seven or eight people who were guarding Miss Chai and the crony, and rescued Miss Chai."
Yang Peng nodded, suddenly remembered something, frowned slightly, and asked: "Miss Chai, has she been..." Yang Guihua shook his head firmly and said: "Absolutely not! There are two reasons. One is that Miss Chai
She doesn't look like a woman who has lost her virginity. Secondly, I have interrogated the guards and they all said that Wang Dayong has not been able to succeed because Miss Chai threatened to die and Wang Dayong threw the rat into the trap."
Yang Peng smiled slightly, "Okay!" He patted Yang Guihua's shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work! This time it's really thanks to you!" Yang Guihua was overjoyed. Chen Jie said with a teasing smile: "After this time, this
The eldest lady shouldn’t regard the people from Heifeng Mountain as heroes anymore, right?” Yang Peng and Yang Guihua both laughed.
Yang Peng frowned and said: "There is only one problem now, how to defeat the Black Wind Mountain bandit army?" Yang Guihua frowned and said: "In fact, it is not difficult to deal with them. As long as the surrounding states work together with us, we can force the Black Wind Mountain
The thieves retreated. However, although the surrounding states said they deserved it, they did not take actual actions and adopted a wait-and-see attitude. As a result, things would not be easy to handle. With Gaotangzhou's city walls, Gaotangzhou and these
The soldiers are much weaker than we expected, so I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long. Based on the current situation, I estimate that the city will be breached in three days at most!"
Yang Peng showed a thoughtful look. Chen Jie said gloomily: "If we were the Cangzhou Army, a thousand men would be enough to defend us. If there were five or six thousand men, we could go out of the city and defeat them! It's really frustrating now!"
"A secret guard rushed in, cupped his fists and said, "Master, the training envoy of the Gaotang Prefecture regiment wants to see you."
Yang Peng said: "Invite him in." The secret guard responded and ran down. After a while, he led the regiment training envoy in. This Gaotangzhou regiment training envoy, whose surname is Zhao, has a single bracket, haha, and the armchair strategist.
The name is Zhao Kuo. He is of medium height, average build, and average appearance. He is a middle-aged man with no characteristics and difficult to leave an impression on anyone.
Zhao Kuo clasped his fists and bowed in greeting: "I pay my respects to Mr. Yang!" "General Zhao, there is no need to be polite. What can I do?" Zhao Kuo straightened up and said anxiously: "There are deserters again!..." Chen Jie was not angry.
Authentic: "What's so strange about this? Aren't there deserters every day?" "This time the situation is different. A whole group of two hundred people escaped together. They are probably still hiding in the city. I came here to ask Mr. Chen what to do.
Deal with this?"
Chen Jie said: "I really don't know how you train the army! Why are all your subordinates so pusy?" Zhao Kuo was unhappy, but he neither dared nor could say anything. Yang Peng thought for a while, "Go to the army and tell everyone that the people around you are
Reinforcements from various states will arrive within three days, and my troops from Cangzhou will arrive within five days. Please don't be afraid."
Zhao Kuo asked with a face of surprise: "Are reinforcements from all walks of life coming? Is this true?" "Of course it is true! You also want to tell everyone that all soldiers who persist until the reinforcements arrive will be given a reward by Lord Ding."
Each person will be rewarded fifty taels of silver." Zhao Kuo's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "I will go and tell everyone the good news immediately!" He bowed his hands to Yang Peng and left in a hurry.
Chen Jie asked in confusion: "Why didn't I know that the reinforcements were coming soon?" Yang Guihua said with a smile: "This is the big brother's plan. In this way, the morale of the army will stabilize." Chen Jie suddenly realized. Yang Guihua frowned and said: "
It’s just that this can’t last long! After three days, the soldiers of Gaotang Province will know the truth. If they cannot defeat the Black Wind Mountain bandit army before then, the morale of the soldiers of Gaotang Province will collapse in an instant, and Gaotang Province will soon
It will fall."
Yang Peng rubbed his chin, thinking, and muttered: "It would be great if we could find the place where the Black Wind Mountain Bandit Army's grain and grass are stored!" Dong-dong-dong...! Woo...! War drums and horns suddenly sounded loudly.
Yang Peng stood up suddenly, ran out of the hall, and looked towards the south. Yang Guihua, who was standing behind Yang Peng, frowned and said: "The Liangshan Army must have started to attack the city!"
"Let's go!" Yang Peng ran towards the outside, followed closely by Chen Jie and Yang Guihua. The three of them and all the secret guards rushed to the city wall, only to see thousands of Black Wind Mountain bandits rushing towards the city wall with shouts. Although Heifeng Mountain
The rebels had not yet climbed onto the city wall, but the city wall was already in chaos. The soldiers were running around like headless flies. No matter how much Zhao Kuo and others shouted at the top of their lungs, it was of no avail.
Yang Peng shouted: "Don't be chaotic! If you want to survive, resist with me!" When the local soldiers saw Chen Xiao, their originally panicked hearts calmed down a lot. Yang Peng walked to the wall and saw Heifeng Mountain.
The bandit army had already set up a ladder and was preparing to attack the city wall. Yang Peng pulled out his sword and shouted: "The crossbowmen shoot, and the others throw wood and stones!" The soldiers immediately followed the instructions, and the crossbowmen headed towards the city.
They fired arrows, and the others tried their best to throw down the rolling stones. The Black Wind Mountain bandit army who attacked the city wall were knocked to the ground one after another, while the Black Wind Mountain bandit army's bows and arrows continued to throw arrows at the top of the city. From time to time, local soldiers were killed.
Shot to the ground, the soldiers were frightened. If Yang Peng hadn't kept cheering them up, they would have collapsed long ago!
While watching the battle below the city, Tao Ran suddenly showed an expression of surprise and said to the Black Panther: "Brother, they can't resist for long!" Tao Ran finally saw the details of the soldiers on the city wall. The Black Panther glanced at the wall.
He asked in confusion: "How can you see it?"
Tao Ran said: "Although these soldiers are still resisting, their actions are chaotic and disorganized. Then Yang Peng is a man who is good at fighting. How could he let these soldiers be in such a situation? The only explanation is that these soldiers are extremely flustered.
!If it weren’t for a famous general like Yang Peng sitting in charge, I’m afraid Gaotang Prefecture would have been defeated by us long ago!”
The Black Panther nodded, "What the military advisor said is absolutely true!" He turned to Wang Dayong and said, "Brother Wang Dayong, brother Zheng Tianhu, and brother Tianshou, come up too! Strengthen the offensive and make sure to break the city today!" Wang Dayong and the other three excitedly promised, clasping their fists.
He led a thousand infantry under his command to join the battlefield.
The fierce fighting continued, and Gaotang Prefecture was on the verge of collapse. Just as the fierce fighting in the south of the city was in full swing, the governor of Gaotang Prefecture, Mr. Ding, ran away from the north gate with his wife and family property. The fighting continued until the evening, and Black Wind Mountain
The bandit army stopped attacking, and the Gaotangzhou native soldiers miraculously persisted. However, this was their maximum limit. In fact, if the Black Wind Mountain bandit army launched another wave of attacks, the city would be broken! Fortunately, this was their maximum limit.
The Black Wind Mountain bandit army did not launch another round of attacks and temporarily retreated.
Yang Peng let out a long breath. Looking at the frightened and exhausted soldiers around him, he felt that this war could no longer be fought. Yang Guihua whispered beside Yang Peng: "Sir, we can't win.
, why not give up." Chen Jie asked angrily: "You just ran away in despair?" Yang Guihua said: "Chen Jie, don't be motivated! In this situation, if you don't leave, there is only one way to die, so why die in vain?
?Furthermore, this Gaotang Prefecture is not Cangzhou, and it is not our responsibility. There is no need for us to risk our lives for Gaotang Prefecture!"
Chen Jie said angrily: "So the people here should be thrown to the bandits?" Yang Guihua wanted to continue to explain, but Yang Peng raised his hand and said: "Okay, stop arguing!" Zhao Kuo ran to Chen Xiao panting.
In front of him, he clasped his fists and said, "Oh no, Mr. Yang, the prefect has run away!" Hearing this, Yang Peng couldn't help but get angry, "If we talk about running away, I'm afraid no one can compare to this Mr. Ding!"
Chen Jie snorted coldly, "What kind of bird can the Ding family have!" Yang Peng was thinking about whether he should give up, but it was difficult for him to leave the people here. Another soldier came to report
Report: "Sir, someone called at the west city gate and said it was your old friend."
Yang Peng was a little surprised, where did his old friend come from? He hurried towards the west gate. When he came to the city wall, he saw two people under the city gate, riding horses, and they couldn't see clearly in the dark.
Who is he? But the outline does look familiar.
"Who are you?" Yang Peng asked in a loud voice. "General Yang, it's me, don't you remember?" A somewhat familiar voice floated up from below. Yang Peng's heart moved, and he thought of someone.
Sure, he was indeed an old friend. But Yang Peng couldn't figure out what the purpose of his trip was. Did he come to declare a war or persuade him to surrender? But why did he come here instead of the south gate where the fighting was going on?
What about the remote west gate?
Early the next morning, crazy war drums rang loudly outside the city. In the early morning mist, the ferocious Black Wind Mountain bandit army and horses were slowly approaching the city wall. Chen Jie commanded the local soldiers to prepare for battle, but all the local soldiers were
They looked extremely nervous. It was really difficult for them, but they didn't collapse yet!
"The bandits outside the city are inhumane! They will kill all the men, old people and children, and steal all the women, money and food! If we can't resist them, we will only die. Not only that, our parents will be killed
If we kill them, our children will also die violently, and our wives and sisters will be snatched back to the village and ravaged by them! If we don’t want this to happen, we can only fight, fight! Use our blood and our knives to kill these abominable things.
The bandits are resisting outside the city!..." Chen Jie raised his voice on the city wall, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers was gradually boosted, but it was still hard to say what would happen after the fight started.
After the three-way drum was played outside the city, nearly ten thousand Black Wind Mountain bandits shouted in unison, like a group of beasts roaring. The soldiers on the city wall looked pale, and the common people hiding at home were all trembling.
The Black Panther raised his right hand, and the two thousand front troops immediately roared and rushed toward the city wall. The battle began. "Archers, prepare! Rolling stones and wood, prepare! Listen to my orders!" Chen Jie shouted at the top of his lungs.
The soldiers pursed their lips tightly and stared at the oncoming waves. They felt dizzy and frightened. They wanted to run away, but because they were worried that their relatives would be killed by the bandits, they tried their best to hold on and try their best to keep themselves safe.
do not be afraid!
The crossbowmen on both sides began to shoot at each other, and people on both sides continued to be hit by arrows and fell to the ground. Cloud ladders were put up on the top of the city, and the Black Wind Mountain bandit army began to attack the city wall. The soldiers on the top of the city desperately threw down the rolling stones and wood, which hit the Liangshan army.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and there was a scream.
However, the Black Wind Mountain bandit army was tough after all, and they quickly rushed to the city. Like wild beasts crashing into a herd of sheep, flesh and blood flew everywhere under their claws, and the soldiers fell into a pool of blood one by one. The situation was already
It was extremely critical. Chen Jie led a dozen secret guards to kill them, waving iron rods and long knives to kill! If the Black Wind Mountain bandit army is a jackal, then Chen Jie and the secret guards are tigers, killing the wolves flesh and blood
Flying sideways, the gap just opened by the Black Wind Mountain bandit army was quickly blocked!
However, after blocking this side, another hole was opened over there, and the Black Wind Mountain bandits swarmed in. After blocking that side, there were gaps in other places. Chen Jie and more than a dozen people were like a fire brigade.
He was running exhausted on the top of the city, struggling to support the city wall defense line from being breached.
Seeing Chen Jie's incomparable bravery, Black Panther asked in shock: "Who is this person?" Zheng Tianhu, who had fought with Chen Jie, turned back and clasped his fists: "Brother, this person's name is Chen Jie, he is the deputy commander of the first division under Cangzhou.
He gave me this injury on my little brother!" Black Panther couldn't help but admired: "No wonder he is so brave, he turns out to be a warrior from Cangzhou!"
Wang Dayong was unhappy when he heard this. He clasped his fists and said, "Brother, why should I have someone else's ambition to destroy my own prestige? My younger brother is willing to climb the city and take his head!" Then he galloped towards the city wall. Black Biao whispered to Heilong: "See you, Wang Dayong.
Chen Jie has been fighting fiercely for a long time and wants to take advantage!" Heilong smiled coldly.
Wang Dayong rode to the foot of the city wall, jumped off his horse, pushed away a young man, and climbed up the ladder with his knife. Jumping up the city wall, he happened to see Chen Jie and two secret guards fighting fiercely in the crowd. Everyone in Heifeng Mountain was
They were staggering and retreating as they were killed. Wang Dayong shouted: "Chen Jie, stop being so arrogant, I, Wang Dayong, will come to meet you!" With that, he drew his sword and joined the battle group.
A secret guard was fighting fiercely with several small bosses, and there was no time for him to pay attention. Wang Dayong took the opportunity to rush in from one side and cut off Yin Sha's left arm with a knife. Yin Sha was in pain and slowed down his movements. The several small bosses in front of him immediately
The knife stabbed forward and pierced his chest. The secret guard spat out a mouthful of blood, with a desperate look in his eyes. He roared angrily, swung the steel knife forward in his hand, and cut open the necks of the three little bosses in front of him.
Several people fell together in a pool of blood.
Chen Jie was so angry that he swung his stick and knocked over several minions standing in front of him. He came to Wang Dayong. When Wang Dayong saw this, he first raised his knife and stabbed Chen Jie, but Chen Jie turned a blind eye to the steel knife stabbing him in the chest.
With a loud shout, he raised the iron bar and chopped it down on Wang Dayong's head, as powerful as splitting a mountain! Wang Dayong couldn't help but feel fear, and hurriedly took back his long sword and raised it to resist! There was a loud bang, and the iron bar hit the steel knife heavily. Wang Dayong
The whole person was knocked to the ground, and the fear in his heart was extremely high! Chen Jie continued to pursue, and Wang Dayong crawled on the ground to escape. He ran to the wall, but it was not the place he came up from. There was no ladder, and he couldn't help but panic.
He turned around hurriedly and saw Chen Jie rushing up like a mad tiger. In shock, he subconsciously swung his knife to attack. But how could he be Chen Jie's opponent? Chen Jie swung his stick and swung away his stabbing opponent.
The long knife came, then spun around and kicked Wang Dayong hard on the chest with his right foot. Wang Dayong screamed and flew out of the city wall, fell to the ground outside the city with a loud thud, and spurted out a mouthful of blood. However, Wang Dayong screamed and flew out of the city wall.
Because the city wall in Gaotangzhou was not high and the soil outside the city was relatively soft, Wang Dayong saved his life.
Wang Dayong was shot down from the city wall, which deeply shocked the Black Wind Mountain bandit army. Then the Black Wind Mountain bandit army receded like an ebbing tide, and the battle paused. However, the battle was far from over. The Black Wind Mountain bandit army
Still arrayed outside the city, it is obvious that they will launch a more violent attack soon!
A soldier officer whose name Chen Jie could not name rushed to Shi Jin and said in a panic: "General, our regimental training envoy is missing!"
Chen Jie frowned and cursed: "Damn! He must have escaped!" Then another soldier officer ran over and reported: "General, many soldiers have escaped secretly!" Shi Jin quickly walked toward the distant city wall.
Looking over, he found that the people on the city wall were indeed much sparser than before, and he also saw a few soldiers throwing away their weapons and running down the city wall. Chen Jie's heart sank to the bottom, and he asked the two officers in front of him: "Approximately how many people are there?"
?" An officer said: "There are probably less than a thousand people!"
Chen Jie's brows furrowed. He felt that this battle could not be fought. "It would be great if my officers and soldiers from the First Division were here! As long as a thousand people are enough!" At this moment, Yang Guihua came to the city wall.
Up. Chen Jie saw him and said angrily: "Aren't you taking care of the Chai family? Why are you here?" Yang Guihua said: "I saw many soldiers fleeing, and I knew you must be in trouble.
So I came here to help you!" Chen Jie snorted, "It's useless for you to come, and you can't change the troops!" Yang Guihua smiled and said: "That's not necessarily true!"...
Black Panther looked at the city wall and saw flags on the wall and soldiers standing in a dense row. He couldn't help but be surprised, "Why are there so many soldiers and horses in Gaotang Prefecture?!" Tao Ran looked at the city.
The head frowned and said: "This should be the opponent's plan to mislead the enemy!" He clasped his fist at Black Panther and said, "Brother, don't be fooled by this illusion. I believe that we can break through the city with just one more attack!"
However, the Black Panther showed hesitation. Upon seeing this, Tao Ran was about to persuade. At this moment, someone suddenly pointed to the south and shouted: "Look! There is a fire in the south!" Everyone turned to look, and sure enough,
Seeing a hilly area in the distance to the south, thick smoke billowed straight into the sky. Tao Ran's expression changed drastically, "No! It's in the direction of Zhangshu Village!" Black Panther was startled and hurriedly ordered: "Quick! The entire army returns to support Zhangshu Village.
!”
Chen Jie and others on the city wall saw the Black Wind Mountain army turning around and running towards the south. Yang Guihua said with a thankful face: "Fortunately, my brother moved fast enough!"... Black Panther and others rushed all the way to Zhangshu.
The whole Zhangshu Village has turned into a huge furnace. Soldiers and horses from Black Wind Mountain are constantly rolling and crawling from the terrifying fire scene.
run out.
Everyone in the Black Wind Mountain Army was dumbfounded. Tao Ran stopped a small leader who had escaped and asked: "What happened?" The small leader was shocked and said: "Yes, it's the Qingzhou prefect! They, they are like ghosts
Like, when we found out something was wrong, most of the people had been killed and all the food and grass had been set on fire!"
The Black Panther asked angrily: "Where are they?" The little leader shook his head, "No, I don't know. They set the fire and ran away!" "Chase! Chase me!" the Black Panther shouted hysterically.
.The black dragon and black tiger immediately led the cavalry to chase aimlessly in all directions.
However, Yang Peng and the others had returned to the city at this time. Chen Jie and Yang Guihua came up to greet them. Yang Peng turned over and dismounted and said with a smile: "Burn all their food and grass, let's see how long they can hold on!" Chen Jie and Yang Guihua!
He laughed. At this time, two people came from behind Yang Peng, one of whom turned out to be Yang Xiong, and the other turned out to be Shi Ping! It turned out that the reason why Yang Peng was able to accurately attack the grain and grass storage area of the Black Wind Mountain bandit army was because there was
The two of them led the way. The so-called old friends who came to the west city last night to see Yang Peng were actually none other than Yang Xiong and Shi Ping. They came to seek refuge with Yang Peng.
What happened after all? Let’s hear the details next time.
