"The right village is also on fire!" On the sentry tower of Zhongyang Dazhai, Zengtou City soldiers looked at the sky-high flames and billowing smoke of the right village in horror.
The wind blew not only the choking smell of smoke, but also the faint smell of blood, which made the faces of the Zengtou City soldiers even paler.
Except for the panicked shouts of the sentries, Zhongyang Dazhai fell into a deathly silence.
Zeng Quan sat slumped in his chair and looked at Shi Wengong, the teacher he had spent a lot of money to hire, with very helpless eyes.
"And Su Ding, is he dead now?"
Zeng Quan didn't dare to think about it, but he couldn't think about it. There was fear and numbness in his eyes.
Zeng Quan, who has been in Lingzhou for more than ten years, has been collecting a lot of information for the Jin Kingdom, from the population of Lingzhou to the harvests of each year, from the map of Lingzhou to the distribution of military forces. Although this information is not used now
But one day, when the Jin Kingdom's cavalry rushes in here, these will become key intelligence.
As a veteran intelligence worker, Zeng Quan did not care about his own safety, but his five sons, especially the eldest Zeng Tu, were his thorns in the side.
After his wife passed away three years ago, Zeng Quancai suddenly discovered that deep down in his heart, he was still extremely afraid of the moment of death.
The name of the Five Tigers of the Zeng Family can be regarded as extinct. Except for Zeng Tu, Zeng Kui, and Zeng Sheng, who have a disabled left arm and are still sleeping, they died in Fahua Temple. Even their bodies cannot be found now; Zeng Mi died in Liangshan.
In front of the stronghold, many living people went out, but only a headless corpse came back; with the fall of Zuo stronghold, Zeng Suo also died?
Shi Wengong looked at the helpless Zeng Quan and couldn't help but said: "If you could make up your mind earlier, I'm afraid Lingzhou's reinforcements are already on the way. With the soldiers in the stronghold, you still have a good chance of surviving.
..”
"Is there any use in talking about this now?" Zeng Quan, who was sitting slumped, suddenly straightened up: "Why not take advantage of the large number of people from Liangshan before they arrive, open the gate of the village and escape to Lingzhou!"
"Escape? Where to escape?" Shi Wengong gently shook his head: "It's too late. Liangshan divided two groups of people to attack our two villages on the left and right, in order to encircle the central Yang Dazhai. Now the two villages on the left and right have fallen, and they are lurking in our village.
Is it time for the people in front to show up?"
As if to provide evidence for Shi Wengong's judgment, there was a "dong" sound, and the faint sound of drums came from the distance.
Zeng's face changed, and he listened carefully, fearing that he had heard wrongly.
"Dong...dong...dong"
The constant sound of drums reminded Zeng Quan that he heard correctly.
The drum beat is getting louder and louder! Getting closer and closer!
"They are coming..." Shi Wengong's hand suddenly clenched the knife handle: "They are coming!"
The sound of the drum seemed to hit Zeng Quan's heart, making him unable to sit down any longer. Zeng Quan jumped off the chair, and Shi Wengong and he rushed out of the tent, climbed onto the high platform and looked in the direction of the sound of the drum.
In the distant woods, the sound of drums was so loud that all kinds of birds were frightened and flew up all over the sky, unable to land.
One, two, ten!
One hundred, two hundred, one thousand!
Liangshan soldiers kept pouring out of the woods, with a few horse-riding leaders among them. They set up a formation outside the woods and slowly approached Zhongyang Dazhai, not stopping until they were within a stone's throw.
Zeng looked at the three wooden poles that were lifted high at the front of the Liangshan troops with a look of pure color.
Those were the heads of Zeng Kui, Zeng Sheng, and Zeng Mi hung on wooden poles!
Zeng Quan held back a mouthful of blood that was about to spurt out. He staggered and almost fell to the high platform. Fortunately, there were soldiers who supported him.
The Liangshan soldiers in front slowly separated, and a carriage from behind slowly came forward. Chao Gai was sitting on it. The flag of "The King of Pagoda" was held by the golden retriever Duan Jingzhu, fluttering slowly in the wind; the one on the left rode up.
Sitting there was Wu Yong, who was holding a hand-held goose feather fan. Behind him, a mysterious light yellow flag with a Bagua pattern was held high, with the name "Zhi Duo Xing" written on it.
A general on the right has a black war horse on his crotch, a light yellow face, a suit of armor, a mysterious war robe, a steel gun in his hand, a bamboo iron whip hidden behind his back, and no flag behind him.
Some soldiers who escaped the night before realized that the enemy general who had picked out Zeng Mi and wounded Zeng Tu pointed him out and told Shi Wengong.
Shi Wengong raised his eyebrows: "It turns out to be the sick Wei Chi Sun Li. He used to be responsible for the military affairs of Dengzhou. He is proficient in bow and horse and is quite famous in the world. I didn't expect to go to Liangshan Luocao!"
Zeng Quan struggled to stand up straight, pulled up Shi Wengong's shirt and said: "Teacher, this person killed my son Zeng Mi and injured Zeng Tu. His hatred is as deep as the ocean. How can I let him go! I just ask the teacher to take care of him."
Out of love, I will go out of the stronghold and kill this man to put my mind at ease!"
Shi Wengong sighed and said: "Everyone has his own destiny, why force it? Zeng Mi Zeng Tu's calamity has come and there is no way to escape it."
Zeng Quan was speechless after hearing this.
"The teacher doesn't know something." The soldier just said: "Then if Sun Li lets out the words, he will have to listen to the teacher's words!"
"What? What a loud tone!" Shi Wengong said angrily: "I don't mess with him, but he uses words to tease me! Wait for me to meet him for a while!"
Zeng Quan then said: "This person must be killed!"
"rest assured!"
Shi Wengong ordered his men to bring in the Zhaoye Jade Lion Horse, ordered five hundred soldiers to rush out of the village gate, and after lining up, he was about to call for battle when he suddenly saw a flag on the opposite side and was stunned for a moment.
Two bloody characters on the white cloth: "Blow blood"!
Under the flag, a person sat lazily on a white horse. His face was as beautiful as Pan An's, his hands were empty, and he had a long sword at his waist. He looked at him with a smile but not a smile.
A blood-curdling flag like blowing blood, coupled with this lazy character, doesn't seem right! He is holding a small crossbow in his hand, and it looks like he is out hunting.
There is also a young man on the left, who looks smaller than the one on the right. He wears an iron shield on his left arm. The shield is as big as a small shield, covering almost half of his body including his head and feet. But there is no weapon in his right hand.
, which surprised Shi Wengong.
"When did such a personage appear on Liangshan Mountain? He doesn't look like a bandit who has fallen off the grass, but he looks like a young man out for fun? And he is still under the banner of Chuixue!"
Shi Wengong was very puzzled and just thinking about it, the lazy young master opposite laughed and pointed with his hand: "I dare to ask if the person coming here is Shi Wengong!"
Shi Wengong held Fang Tian's painted halberd, and with a flick of his crotch illuminated the jade lion horse, he came to the front of the formation and shouted: "It's Shi! Who are you? Please come out and speak!"
This lazy young master is naturally Ximen Qing, the one holding the crossbow is Xue'er, the little temptress disguised as a man, and the one holding the shield is Xiao Tianqing.
Seeing Shi Wengong asking him at this moment, Ximen Qing laughed and said: "The villages on the left and right have been attacked by Liangshan. If you don't dismount and surrender, how long will it take?"
Shi Wengong let out a "hum", raised Fang Tian's painted halberd and pointed it far away: "I think you don't have the power to tie a chicken, so you should ask that yellow-faced Sun Li to come out to see me!"
At this time, a horse was galloping towards the village on the left and right. Ximen Qing thought about it and laughed and said: "When we meet for the first time, we must give you a big gift! Shi Wengong, I have two big gifts here, please accept them!"
Shi Wengong and everyone else didn't know why Ximen Qing said this. When he was young, he rode in front of Chao Gai's carriage, turned over and dismounted, and offered something: "Big boss! I asked for the head here! Leader Yan said it, and the men and horses arrived soon after.
!”
Chao Gai nodded and ordered the head to be placed in front of the cart. Seeing that Zeng Suo's head had been chopped off in half, all the red and white ones ran out and sighed: "There must be a fierce battle!"
Seeing Xue'er on the side, she disliked the smell of blood and hurriedly covered her mouth and nose, causing Ximen Qing to laugh at her: "You, little enchantress, are here too!"
A rider from the right also arrived soon after. He got off his horse in front of Chao Gai's carriage and offered something: "Big boss! Su Ding's head is here! Leader Liu and the three Ruan clan heroes will be here soon!"
When Chao Gai saw that Su Ding's eyes were tightly closed, he ordered his soldiers to tie both heads to poles and bring them to the front of the formation for Shi Wengong to watch.
"Shi Wengong, here are the heads of Zeng Suo and Su Ding!" Ximen Qing pointed and said with a smile, "If you don't wake up, you will end up in the same fate!"
Shi Wengong smiled sadly, but he was not frightened. On the contrary, Zeng Quan could clearly see it from the high platform in Zhongyang Dazhai behind him. He couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, and he fell to the sky...
"The last general, Sun Li, invites you to fight!" Sun Li, the sick lieutenant, lifted up his shirt, and on his horse, he raised his hands to Chao Gai, the king of the tower, and said, "Let me meet Shi Wengong for a while!"
Chao Gai nodded and said: "This Shi Wengong's martial arts is no small matter. General Sun must fight carefully."
"It will be saved in the end."
"General Sun, I will ask Wu Song and Yan Qing to raid the formation for you."
Ximen Qing's arrangement made Wei Chi and Sun Li nod, which was regarded as a thank you for the kindness.
When Shi Wengong saw that Sun Li was still waiting to come out, he cursed loudly: "You are not a good man if you linger around! This Fangtian Painted Halberd is already thirsty and wants to drink your blood!"
"Hey!" Sun Li urged his horse, raised his steel gun and rushed out of the formation, face to face with Shi Wengong: "You are not a hero, why did you hurt my brother Chao Gai with a cold arrow?"
Shi Wengong sneered and said: "It's inexplicable!", then he waved the Fangtian painted halberd, rushed up, and stabbed him when he was distracted.
Sun Li didn't panic and used the steel gun in his hand to hold it open: "I think you are an ordinary guy. How dare you use this square sky to draw a halberd? Do you dare to be ahead of Lu Feng?"
This sentence speaks exactly to Shi Wengong's heart.
Lü Bu and Lü Fengxian were known as "the most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms", and it was also said that "Lü Bu is among men, and the red rabbit is among horses." Shi Wengong compared himself with Lü Bu, and specially made a halberd that was two feet square.
jingyao.
Ever since he got the Zhaoye Jade Lion Horse, Shi Wengong has become even more at home. He calls himself "Shi Wengong is the invincible among men, and the Zhaoye Jade Lion among horses". This title is known to everyone in Zengtou City, which makes Shi Wengong's self-confidence even more overwhelming.
Seeing Sun Li asking him, Shi Wengong sneered: "I am better than Lu Fengxian, but it's a pity that you are not Yuchi Jingde!"
Sun Li, the sick Wei Chi, kept holding on and laughed loudly: "Lu Fengxian is a slave of the third surname. You are not bad either. You became a teacher of the Jin people in Zengtou City, so you can be regarded as a slave of the second surname!"
