Chapter 335 Almost Perfect Raiders of Gaoping County IV
Yes, the 20,000 people outside the south gate are obviously a piece of meat sent by Niu Wenzhong. They are originally here to support Gaoping County, so most of them are infantry. They are commanded by only four lieutenants. They were captured by the prodigal Yan Qing just now. Killed one.
And the remaining three are still quarreling.
Great opportunity!
What a pity it would be to let this great opportunity slip away!
Outside the south gate, the three generals were still arguing fiercely. If Niu Wenzhong were here, he would probably get angry. He never thought that Xiong Weiyu Yulin would be easily killed. There were only four people leading the reinforcements. Lieutenants, it's hard to say who is the leader and who is the auxiliary. Even if they quarrel, no one will obey the other.
Wang Ji was determined to attack the city, while Shen An wanted to retreat. As for Lu Yuan, he was caught in the middle and didn't know which side he should stand on.
It didn't matter that the three lieutenants were quarreling. The 20,000 soldiers were dumbfounded when they saw that they had given up their fight.
At this moment, a trumpet blast was heard, the drawbridge was lowered again, and the city gate was opened with a creaking sound.
Ximen Qing led four generals, including Lu Zhishen, Qin Ming, Sun Li, and Sun Xin, and defended them with his blood troops. Together with two thousand soldiers, they rushed out of the south gate and formed an array.
Shen An, Lu Yuan, Wang Ji and the other three people immediately stopped arguing. Seeing the man in white robe on the white horse opposite, they couldn't help but feel shuddered in their hearts.
Is this Ximen Qing?
In the minds of the three of them, Ximen Qing should at least be a general with superior martial arts, otherwise the Privy Councilor Niu Wenzhong would not attach such importance to him, and the mighty general Fang Qiong, the pioneer Dong Cheng and others would not die in the battle.
But the man in front of him was outstanding in appearance and suave, but he obviously had no strength to tie a chicken, and his hands were empty, not even a sword.
This is obviously the young master who is out for an outing. Where is the Ximen Supervisor of the Song Dynasty's expeditionary army?
Shen An and the other three people immediately made up their minds.
beat!
Shen An patted the horse on his hip, took a few steps forward and asked, "Are you that Ximen Qing?"
"Bold thief!" Qin Ming next to him shouted angrily: "Is this the name of the Supervisor that you can call directly?"
Qin Ming's appearance was different from ordinary people's, and the mace in his hand was a strange weapon, so he was immediately recognized as soon as he came out.
"Who am I? It turns out to be Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming, who became a bandit at Luocao!" Shen An laughed and said, "Come to Shen An and shoot him to death!"
It turned out that when Shen An saw that when the camp was robbed a few nights ago, the soldiers and horse supervisors were really weak in martial arts and did not take Qin Ming seriously.
Falling into a trap and being forced to die is a scar in Qin Ming's heart. Shen An's words are tantamount to opening the scar. How can Qin Ming endure it?
Even the junior lieutenant Chi Sunxin secretly said after hearing this: "This guy is looking for death!"
With Ximen Qing by his side, Qin Ming, no matter how angry he was, did not dare to go out to fight privately, so he raised his hands and said, "Sir, the general will take action and take this man's life!"
Ximen Qing nodded slightly: "General Qin will fight quickly and decide quickly. Don't be reluctant to fight!"
Qin Ming accepted the order sternly, rode out without saying a word, picked up the mace in his hand, and smashed it into his head and face like Shen An!
Seeing that Qin Ming moved like the wind, Shen An didn't dare to look down upon it. The mace was so powerful and heavy that he didn't dare to hit it forcefully, so he had to use the reins to avoid the blow.
"Qin Ming's mace is very heavy. Wait for more than ten months before he loses strength before striking!"
Shen An's wishful thinking was rattling, but he didn't know that Qin Ming was so powerful that the mace was like a straw in his hand and moved as flexibly as a spear!
Within three or five seconds, Shen An seemed to be retreating. Lu Yuan and Wang Ji saw him and came to help with their swords and spears.
Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming will dance the mace without leakage, fight against the three generals, and never retreat!
Ximen Qing met here and said to the sick Wei Chi Sun: "General Sun can help General Qin."
The sick Wei Chi Sun Li happily accepted the order, and his brother Xiao Wei Chi Sun Xin grabbed two war horses and two steel spears like dragons emerging from the water, and came to fight Lu Yuan and Wang Ji.
Qin Ming heard the thunderbolt fire clearly and roared: "There are just three thieves, why do you need help?"
Before he finished speaking, the mace in his hand suddenly came out and hit Lu Yuan's chest. The mace weighed dozens of kilograms. Even if Lu Yuan was wearing armor, he couldn't block it alone. He suddenly spurted blood from his mouth and ran away in his saddle!
Shen An was complaining in his heart. He had known this, why bother in the first place? If there was a quarrel, it would be better to withdraw the army twenty miles away to avoid facing Ximen Qing.
Seeing Lu Yuan's defeat, Wang Ji was in a hurry and was accidentally picked up by Qin Ming's mace. His hand was unsteady and the sword flew away. Qin Ming struck it down with the mace, and suddenly his head was full of peach blossoms. , the body fell under the horse.
Seeing this, Shen An was so distraught that he didn't care about his own army. He hurriedly turned his horse's head and headed west.
Sick Wei Chi Sun Li saw the greeting and separated from Xiao Wei Chi Sun Xin to pursue Shen An and Lu Yuan!
When Ximen Qing saw that the other three generals were dying, he ran away. He pointed his horsewhip and led two thousand soldiers and horses to rush over. Qin Ming did not wait to return to the formation, but rushed directly into the enemy's formation, and there was a killing spree!
When had those 20,000 Niu Wenzhong soldiers ever seen such a posture? After resisting for a moment, the front army showed signs of collapse!
Seeing this, Ximen Qing led his soldiers to rush straight to the flank. The scar-faced tiger Liu Renzhong held a ring-headed sword in his hand, took the lead, and rushed into the enemy army, killing them until ghosts cried and wolves howled, and heads rolled around!
The front army collapsed immediately!
Without the general's command, the Chinese army gradually became unable to resist, and half of the rear army fled first.
Yan Qing saw it on the city wall, and hurriedly looked for the red-haired ghost Liu Tang and the desperate man Shi Xiu. Most of the remaining troops rushed out, killing the enemy so quickly that they could no longer resist and retreated to the south.
Ximen Qing led his troops to charge for a while and captured a lot of food and grass, and then returned to the city.
After counting the number of soldiers, it was found that more than ten members of the Blood Blowing Guards had been awarded honors, and no one was killed. The other soldiers suffered hundreds of casualties. This was already an incredible victory!
When they arrived in the city, two brothers, Sun Li and Sun Xin, the sick Wei Chi and the younger Wei Chi, came back. Sun Li offered Shen An's head, and Sun Xin offered Lu Yuan's head.
Ximen Qing was overjoyed and remembered the first contribution of the Thunderbolt Fire of Qin and Ming dynasties, as well as the contribution of two brothers, Wei Chi Sun Li and Xiao Wei Chi Sun Xin.
All three people came up and cupped their hands and said: "If it weren't for your master's clever planning, how could there be a great victory? The general will not dare to take credit. The Yan Qing brothers and others sneaked into Gaoping County, killed Yu Yulin and Sang Ying, and occupied the south gate. They can be the leader. achievement."
Ximen Qing said with a smile: "The three generals have contributed so much that they will be appreciated based on their merits. No. 8 in Group A and Brother B will also be rewarded."
That's it for Qin Ming and the other three.
Ximen Qing then ordered two brothers, Wei Chi Sun Li and Xiao Wei Chi Sun Xin, as well as Shi Xiu, the desperate San Lang, and 10,000 soldiers to garrison Gaoping County. The remaining generals and soldiers returned to Lingchuan County, and there were messengers between the two cities every day. They communicated with each other, reported news, and distributed food and grass.
At the same time, Lingchuan County gradually gathered the scattered soldiers of the expeditionary army, borrowing Gao Qiu's banner, Leopard Tou Lin rushed out of the horse, and within two or three days tens of thousands of soldiers came to surrender. Ximen Qing saw more and more soldiers in the city, and ordered the generals Still training and supplementing as planned.
In this way, Ximen Qing had almost 30,000 troops in his hands. Even if Niu Wenzhong wanted to gnaw hard bones, he had to see if his teeth were sharp enough.
...
...
Unnamed posts with the seal of Gaizhou Prefect were circulated, and together with the head of Gaizhou Prefect at the gate of the city, almost all Gaizhou Prefecture soldiers left in one day and overnight.
Niu Wenzhong quickly entered Gaizhou Prefecture and immediately received the news that Gaoping County had been occupied by Ximen Qing.
At the same time, Xiong Weiyu, Yulin, Sang Ying, Shen An, Lu Yuan, Wang Ji and Shi Jing were killed.
Niu Wenzhong's original excitement was suddenly extinguished by this bad news.
Niu Wenzhong spread out the map with a livid face, looked at the locations of Gaoping County and Lingchuan County, and fell into deep thought.
Could this Ximen Qing be an enemy sent from heaven?
Gao Qiu's 100,000-strong army was defeated in just one night, and Ximen Qing captured Lingchuan County and Gaoping County!
Not only that, the amount of power consumed by Ximen Qing before and after was calculated to be as much as 40,000 to 50,000 yuan!
Moreover, the only four powerful generals under Niu Wenzhong's command are Piwei General An Shirong and Biaowei General Chu Heng, as well as four lieutenants: Fang Shun, Qin Sheng, Mo Zhen, and Sheng Ben!
Niu Wenzhong's fist landed heavily on the desk. He must use his absolute advantage to uproot Ximen Qing at once!
The nearby Piwei generals An Shirong and Biaowei general Chu Heng were shocked by Niu Wenzhong's actions. Now that they have finally captured Gaizhou Prefecture, aren't the remaining counties in Gaizhou already within reach?
Why is the Privy Council so angry?
Niu Wenzhong suddenly turned around, his eyes becoming bloodshot at some point.
"I will never go back to see King Jin until I kill Ximen Qing!"
This gritted oath made An Shirong and Chu Heng feel bad. Soon, they learned the bad news from Niu Wenzhong.
"How is that possible?"
As soon as Chu Heng said these words, he immediately shut his mouth.
"Yeah, how is that possible?" Niu Wenzhong seemed to be laughing at himself: "Dong Xianfeng...is dead, General Fang...is dead, and General Yu...is also dead."
"Both of you, if you think Ximen Qing will die, whose turn will it be next?"
Niu Wenzhong's words seemed a bit possessed, but An Shirong and Chu Heng felt chills in their hearts.
Gaizhou Prefecture was captured, but Ximen Qing was nailed like a nail to Lingchuan County, the gateway to Weizhou.
No matter how Niu Wenzhong's army showed off its power in Gaizhou and attacked the city, Ximen Qing's nail was always stuck in his flesh, and it was a nail with two sharp ends.
Every time I touch this nail, I get blood dripping from it and a piece of flesh is removed from me.
Next time, whose turn is it to touch this nail?
An Shirong and Chu Heng looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.
Niu Wenzhong snorted heavily: "Ximen Qing occupied Gaoping County just to act as a horn to each other so that our army would not dare to attack. I will attack anyway!"
An Shirong and Chu Heng were awe-inspiring.
"The whole army rests for three days. After three days, each of you will lead 20,000 troops to attack the two counties of Qinshui and Yangcheng." Niu Wenzhong ordered: "I will personally station in Gaizhou Prefecture to replenish the supply of troops, and then assemble the entire army. Use your strength to attack Gaoping and Lingchuan counties!"
