Two hundred and ninetieth chapters: The Battle of the Bohai Sea VI
Seeing Gao Shida getting angry, the soldier who was carrying the order and was afraid that he would get into trouble immediately stepped forward and shouted to Gao Shida: "Return to the Lord. Yes, it was the Song military advisor who said it. He, he said, he said. This is what the father-in-law meant. The younger one is just following orders."
Hearing the words of the soldier, Gao Shida was even more furious. He turned his head and glared at Song Zhengben fiercely. He cursed: "Song Zhengben, you are so brave. You dare to fake military orders. You. You. Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
Seeing Gao Shida being so angry, Song Zhengben could only secretly smile bitterly. He took a step forward, clasped his fists at Gao Shida and said, "Master, this subordinate is doing this for the sake of the master. Now is the last chance. If If we don’t attack with all our strength, if we can’t capture Bohai, then it will be useless even if I regret it. Please think again, sir.”
"You." Seeing that Song Zhengben still wanted to quibble like this. Although he knew very well in his heart that what Song Zhengben said was correct, Gao Shida couldn't accept the result. He stared at Song Zhengben with a ferocious face and shouted: " Good on you, Song Zhengben. I see that you don’t take me seriously at all. Someone, please drag Song Zhengben down for me. After I take Bohai, we will take care of him together."
Gao Shida gave the order. Immediately, several sturdy soldiers rushed forward and tied up the thin Song Zhengben. However, Song Zhengben had no intention of struggling and silently allowed the soldiers to hold him captive. After taking Song Zhengben into custody, Gao Shida turned his head again and glared at the other rebel leaders. He shouted: "What? Do you have any other opinions?"
Seeing that Gao Shida had even arrested his own military advisor. The rebel leaders had no other opinions. They all turned their heads back and lowered their heads in silence. Seeing this, Gao Shida's expression changed. After a slight improvement, he shouted in a deep voice: "Continue to attack the city. I will go to supervise the battle." Gao Shida no longer mentioned asking Wang Fubao to withdraw his troops. Instead, as soon as he finished speaking, he rode forward. Naturally, the rebel leaders did not dare to touch him. No one said anything about Gao Shida's bad luck. They all followed him on horseback.
At the same time, on an official road five hundred miles away from here, a Qingqi was running fast towards Bohai City. And behind him, a troop of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were chasing after him. The knight galloped on his horse while constantly looking back. Whenever he saw the opponent getting closer and closer to him, the knight turned pale with fright and kept swinging his whip to speed up.
Behind him, at the front of the army that was following him, was a general in armor who saw that he would not be able to catch up with him for a while. The speed of his horse did not slow down at all when he sat down, but he was standing with his whole body on the horse's back. Last time, I picked up a long bow and a feather arrow. After sitting upright on the horse, I bent the bow and set an arrow. I aimed at the light horse in front. Then I let go and shot. I heard a whistle. The arrow shot out like lightning. It hit the back of the knight in front of him. The knight screamed and fell off the horse. The sitting horse also ran forward a few steps after losing control of its owner. Then it stopped.
When he saw the arrow hit, the general looked happy. He put away his long bow and led the army in pursuit. When he arrived next to the knight's body, some soldiers had already stepped forward to check. At this time, a burly man The general, carrying a Xuanhua axe, rushed out of the army on horseback. He praised the general who was shooting: "Taishifeng, what a good arrow. Although not as good as Changsun brother, he is still very good." "
Who else could praise this general besides Cheng Yaojin? And the archery general was none other than Tai Shi Feng, who served under Cheng Yao Jin. Tai Shi Feng’s ancestor was Tai Shi Ci, a famous Soochow general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. In addition to being an excellent spearman, Taishi Ci was also famous throughout the world for his archery skills. Taishi Feng's family background meant that his archery skills were naturally good. Although Cheng Yaojin was praising Taishi Feng, his words sounded... No matter how I heard it, I felt awkward. Fortunately, Tai Shifeng also knew Cheng Yaojin's good intentions and didn't care about anything. He lowered his head and glanced at the corpse and said: "General Cheng, this should be the last rebel scout. There is no more." These scouts are tipping off the information. We should be able to catch the rebels off guard."
"Hahahaha. That's right. That's right." When Cheng Yaojin heard that there was a battle, he immediately took the ax off his back and waved it twice in the air. He said with a smile: "We have worked hard, so we must work hard." I've been traveling for several days just for this moment. Let's go. We're going to kill ourselves."
Just as Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, a general came out of the army. It was Du Hao, Tai Shifeng's sworn brother. Du Hao pointed to the sky in the direction of Bohai City and shouted: "General Cheng, brother, look, that's Bohai City. direction."
The two of them looked in the direction of Du Hao's finger. They saw several plumes of thick smoke floating in the sky in front of them. At the same time, there were firelights shining on the sky. Seeing this scene, Cheng Yaojin and Tai Shifeng both had expressions on their faces. As soon as the situation changed, Tai Shifeng immediately shouted: "No, it looks like this. The war in Bohai City has reached a critical juncture. General Cheng, let's go quickly. Don't be too late."
After listening to Tai Shifeng's words, Cheng Yaojin nodded vigorously. He held the ax upside down with one hand and the reins with the other. The three of them led the army and rushed directly towards the Bohai Sea.
Soon, the army led by Cheng Yaojin rushed towards Bohai City from the official road. However, perhaps because they were too anxious, no one in the tens of thousands of troops discovered that they were not far away. There are two people lying on a hill. The clothes of these two people are exactly the same as the knight who was shot by Tai Shifeng before. They are the scouts arranged by the rebels in the rear.
Seeing that the enemy army was gradually disappearing, the two scouts breathed a sigh of relief with pale faces. One of them immediately said to his companion: "Brother, you quickly ride a fast horse and take a detour to report the news to the father-in-law. They all They're infantry. If you ride a fast horse and go into battle lightly, you should be able to make it in time. I'll follow up and have a look."
The other scout hesitated for a moment. Seeing the firm look on the other person's face, he quickly nodded and patted the other person's shoulder lightly. He said, "Brother, you have to be careful." After that, he They climbed directly down the hill. Their mounts were all parked and hidden at the other end of the hill.
The remaining scout stared in the direction of the army's departure. In response to his companion's words, he just waved his hand. After a long while, the scout felt that there seemed to be no movement behind him. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. The look of him looking at death as if he were still alive has long since disappeared. What he said just now was completely a lie. There are so many officers and soldiers on the other side. He still wants to catch up. Wouldn't that mean he is going to die? The scout has secretly made up his mind. When the officers and soldiers were far away, he immediately turned around and ran away. There are so many rebels in the world. This family is gone. Just go find another family. It is important to save your own life.
Just when he was about to leave, suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps from behind. Suddenly, the scout's whole body trembled. He thought it was his companion who was back. He hesitated and was about to turn around and say something. What? But when he just turned around, what came into his field of vision was a bright dagger.
He just had time to widen his eyes. The dagger had already penetrated his throat directly. At the same time, a big hand covered his mouth and nose, blocking his screams. And a black shadow also It pressed down on the scout's body, making it impossible for the scout to struggle. As the dagger's edge turned half a circle in the scout's neck, the scout's body immediately softened and there was no more movement.
Seeing that the scout under him had stopped moving, the black figure stood up and pulled out the bloody dagger from the scout's neck. It turned out to be a soldier wearing armor. The soldier put the dagger on his own After wiping it on his pants, he put it back into his boots. He turned back to the hill and shouted in a low voice: "General, it's been solved."
Soon after he finished shouting, dozens of people climbed up from the hill. Among these people, there was a tall man wearing fine armor and carrying a huge ghost-headed sword on his waist. The hillside was like walking on flat ground under his feet. And the most striking feature was his face. On a seemingly ordinary, even handsome face, there was a long and wide scar, starting from his forehead. Slide down, across the left eye, and down to the lower jaw. It is this scar that makes this face full of ferocity. The man climbed up the hill and watched Cheng Yaojin's army leaving with his only right eye. direction. His face was indifferent. Murderous intent flashed from his right eye.
"General." Behind him, a soldier clasped his fists at him and said, "The soldiers are all ready. We are just waiting for the general's order."
"Yes." The scar-faced general nodded slightly, grinded his teeth, and spat in the direction where Cheng Yaojin's army was leaving. Then he turned around and walked down the hill. At the bottom of the hill, I don't know when. There was actually an extra troop of four to five hundred soldiers and horses. Looking at the troop of soldiers and horses in front of him, the scar-faced general smiled coldly. But he took the reins from the soldiers behind him, got on his horse, and said in a deep voice: " There are a lot of officers and soldiers. We are no match for the officers and soldiers. So this time we must not confront the officers and soldiers head-on. We will avoid the officers and soldiers later. Just focus on where Gao Shida is to attack. Our target this time. It's Gao Shida. If we take Gao Shida's head, we will withdraw. Do you understand?"
After the scar-faced general finished speaking, no one answered. But the eyes of the soldiers were full of determination and affirmation. The scar-faced general also nodded with satisfaction, turned the horse's head, and led the four to five hundred people forward. Go. The target is also in the direction of Bohai City. The scar-faced general on horseback snorted coldly: "Gao Shida, you are the first victim of my revenge."
