Chapter four hundred and ninety seventh is dead
Xiao An, the governor of Songshan County, never expected that Long Shiyuan, the meritorious officer he trusted, and Sun Chengliang, the chief secretary, would turn against each other, and he immediately panicked. There were 8,000 troops stationed in Songshan County, and 5,000 soldiers and horses were led by Xiao An's direct descendants.
In control, Long Shiyuan, the meritorious service officer, and Sun Chengliang, the chief clerk, were highly relied upon by Xiao An, so tonight he asked Long Shiyuan to lead troops to protect the county guard's office, and asked Sun Chengliang to lead people to guard the granary to prevent the enemy from setting fire, but he did not expect that these two people would
Inverted.
Xiao An suddenly became confused and confused. Five thousand direct troops and more than a thousand people were sent to attack the Marquis Wu Quan's Mansion, preparing to capture Princess Pingyuan alive. There were also more than a thousand people guarding the four gates of the city. He took them with him.
Two thousand people came to Kuaihuo Building to rescue his son. Of course, more importantly, they wanted to use themselves as bait to fish out Wu Quanhou Yin Zhishan. The remaining people were responsible for guarding the county's Yamen, granary, weapons depot and other key departments.
Now in order to recapture the county guard's office, he has transferred all the troops guarding the granary and weapons depot back to relieve the siege. How can he have the extra troops to reinforce the troops besieging Wu Quanhou's mansion? How can he still use the two thousand soldiers who were already seriously injured?
Move part of the troops and horses? Xiao An had no choice but to bite the bullet and order his men to take down Sikong Jing and others as soon as possible, and then turn back to rescue the other two places.
He was not at ease with the county's 3,000 non-direct troops, so he mobilized 1,500 of them into the city before dark, and also sent Songshan County Zhaowu Colonel Chen Bo and Training School Lieutenant Xing Qing to lead them respectively.
These people arrived at their garrison camp, ostensibly in the name of inspection, but in fact they supervised the soldiers and horses separately. The reason why they divided the three thousand soldiers and horses into two parts was to disperse their forces.
Xiao An never expected that the fifteen thousand non-lineage soldiers who entered the city would have already defected to Prince Wei's Mansion under the leadership of the captain of the headquarters. Even Long Shiyuan and Sun Chengliang were instigated to rebel. Xiao An
A few streets away, looking at the fire blazing in the direction of the county governor's office, his heart was cut like a knife, his eyes were red, his son was killed, his wife and several concubines were captured, he was now truly alone.
The fifteen hundred people who entered the city caught him off guard. Zhao Tieyi saw a fire in the direction of the county governor's office from a distance, and laughed loudly: "Why don't you quickly put down your weapons and surrender? The county governor's office has been guarded.
The soldiers and horses of the palace occupied the palace and set it on fire. Except for the dead ones, the rest of Xiao An's family have been captured alive. They will soon ransack their homes and exterminate them. Do you want to be buried with them?"
Zhao Tieyi's shout caused many soldiers to turn around and see a huge fire burning in the direction of the Sheriff's Yamen. They panicked for a moment. Xiao An yelled at the top of his lungs: "Don't listen to his nonsense! The Sheriff's Yamen is as stable as Mount Tai! Who can catch it?"
Zhao Tieyi and Sikong Jing are rewarded with a thousand taels of silver! If you kill them, you can get 500 taels of silver!"
The two sides have been fighting for an hour. Xiao An's two thousand soldiers and horses suffered at least 500 casualties. Chen Yuping held two Yanling knives picked up from the ground and stood in front of Xiao An's horse with the man with the long sword.
To protect Xiao An, Sikong Jing held Chen Yuping's halberds and fought with the two of them. From time to time, officers and soldiers from the county governor's office came up to sneak attack on Sikong Jing. Therefore, Sikong Jing was distracted and could not be separated from the two of them in a short time.
Win or lose.
Here, Shi Rengui and the four ghosts of the Zhao family started fighting. The two sides were almost evenly matched. They were already exhausted. Sun Zongcheng took a breath and suddenly ran up to help. Zhao Debiao, the third of the four ghosts of the Zhao family, was caught off guard and was stabbed in the leg. He fell down.
On the ground, he howled loudly. Shi Rengui was quick-sighted and stabbed Zhao Debiao in the chest with a spear, killing Zhao Debiao immediately.
When the other three brothers of the Zhao family saw the tragic death of Zhao Lao San under Shi Rengui's gun, they went crazy. The three of them took out knives together and beat Shi Rengui wildly. Shi Rengui killed the Zhao Lao San and hurriedly retreated, one against three.
, while fighting, he moved closer to Sun Zongcheng. Sun Zongcheng understood, and immediately stepped forward with his sword, took over Zhao Deliang, the second son of the Zhao family, and started fighting with him. The four ghosts of the Zhao family had to join forces to defeat Shi Rengui, and only his brother was left.
The two of them were immediately in a hurry.
After more than ten rounds, the fourth brother, Zhao Deyi, was shot in the leg and fell to the ground with a scream. The boss, Zhao Deyin, immediately panicked when he saw that the fourth brother was injured. He was accidentally shot in the wrist and used Yan Ling Dao.
When Langlang landed, Shi Rengui jumped forward and stabbed Zhao Deyin in the chest with a spear. Zhao Deyin rolled on the ground and dodged the shot in a panic. Unexpectedly, Shi Rengui stabbed the Zhao family elder who was still lying on the ground and howling miserably.
Four one was stabbed to death.
When Zhao Deliang, the second oldest brother in the Zhao family, saw that his fourth brother had been killed, he pounced on Sun Zongcheng like a mad tiger. After a big battle with Cheng'er, Sun Zongcheng lacked stamina and was afraid that he would suffer a loss, so he simply circled Shi Rengui with a knife.
, Zhao Deliang didn't care about Shi Rengui or Sun Zongcheng, he only focused on attacking, but Shi Rengui swung the barrel of his gun and slapped him in the back, and he was immediately knocked to the ground. Sun Zongcheng had good eyesight and quick hands, so he went up and made a finishing blow.
Three of the four ghosts of the Zhao family have settled accounts. Zhao Deyin, the best in Qinggong, saw that the situation was not good. He rolled over again, picked up a Yanling knife with his left hand, used Qinggong, and rushed towards the Happy Building. As the saying goes, don't chase the poor enemy.
therefore
Sun Zongcheng and Shi Rengui did not pursue him and allowed him to escape. Zhao Deyin jumped up to the house and left, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Shi Rengui and Sun Zongcheng immediately exchanged opinions. Shi Rengui went to help Sikong Jing. Sun Zongcheng led Qiu Cheng and other five survivors to the north to rescue Qiu Fenglin and his more than 200 servants who were surrounded. Both sides had killed
Their eyes were red, but the officers and soldiers no longer dared to fire arrows, because the two sides were already strangled together, and if they showed no mercy, they would hurt their own people. On the Happy Street in front of the Happy Building, there were constant shouts of death, screams, and the sound of weapons clashing.
.
The people in the city were also hiding in their homes. Some of them who were more courageous even climbed to the roof and watched the two sides fighting from a distance. At this time, Sikong Jing got help from Shi Rengui and immediately became relaxed. With one against two, he no longer had to worry about what was behind him.
A small soldier attacked, and within ten rounds, the two swords in Chen Yuping's hands were knocked away. Chen Yuping had no choice but to retreat. Sikong Jing took the opportunity to knock down the man with the long sword, and stabbed him in the chest with a halberd, killing him.
When Xiao An saw that the man with a long sword was killed, his face turned pale with fear. Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Yuping ignored Xiao An and ran away. When one of Xiao An's halberd commanders saw Sikong Jing and Shi Rengui about to pounce on him
Xiao An hurriedly shouted: "Hurry, quickly form a formation to protect the county governor!" Hundreds of officers and soldiers were brave enough to stand in front of Xiao An's horse and fight with Sikong Jing and Shi Rengui.
At the south gate of Songshan City, the city gate captain Lu Chengjian was guarding the city gate with 300 men. Hearing the loud shouts of killing in the center of the city, and seeing the distant fire in the direction of the county governor's house in the city, Lu Chengjian couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
He quickly got on his horse to prevent any unexpected events. At this moment, Mu Ying, the leader of the Eastern Wei army, led dozens of black-clothed men to rush in. Lu Chengjian shouted: "Who are you? There has been a curfew in the city.
Why do you still dare to wander on the street?"
Mu Ying, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Guards Division, took out his silver waist badge from his arms, flashed it, and said with a ferocious face: "I am Muying, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Guards Division, under the orders of Lord Wu of the Hundred Households of the Eastern Guards.
, I have to go out of the city on business, boy, open the city gate quickly! Don’t miss my errand!”
Lu Chengjian shouted loudly on his horse: "No one is allowed to leave the city tonight without a warrant from the county governor!"
Mu Ying was furious, pulled out the Yan Fei Dao, and shouted: "Brothers, if this guy dares to disobey orders and prevents us from going out of the city for business, he will be killed without mercy!" As he spoke, he spurred his horse to gallop towards Lu Chengjian. Lu Chengjian was big and powerful.
Surprised, after all, the people of Dongwei are famous for being unreasonable, and Dongwei has accumulated so much power that it almost has the potential to become a third-level official. Lu Chengjian is not a seventh-rank official, and Mu Ying is also a seventh-rank official as the general banner.
How could he compare to Mu Ying's power?
In a hurry, Lu Chengjian also drew his sword in his hand and tried to stop Mu Ying. After all, the county governor issued a death order tonight. Those who can become leaders of all levels of the East Guard are all capable people, and Mu Ying has already
With murderous intentions, he could not open the south city gate without killing Lu Chengjian. Dongwei had already been notified by the guards of Prince Wei's Mansion, and had informed the military commander Wei Chi Hongming in the military camp outside the city in advance.
At this time, Chi Hongming, who saw the fire in the city, should have led his troops to rush outside the south gate, waiting to enter the city to exterminate the rebels. At this time, if Lu Chengjian dared to block Mu Ying's way, he would definitely kill him! Mu Ying raised his right hand.
The Yanling saber struck at Lu Chengjian, but his left hand reached into his arms. Lu Chengjian hurriedly used the waist saber to block the fight. Unexpectedly, Mu Ying wanted to fight quickly, but suddenly she raised her left hand, and there was a short crossbow in her hand. Lu Chengjian
Jian Dun felt his heart go cold. When he looked down, a crossbow arrow had penetrated his chest, leaving only an inch of arrow shaft on his chest.
Lu Chengjian's mouth was bleeding. Mu Ying raised the knife and dropped it. Lu Chengjian's body fell down from the horse. When He Pingdong, the deputy captain of the city gate, saw that the school captain Lu Chengjian was killed, his liver and gallbladder were immediately split. He abandoned the knife and dismounted and knelt down.
On the ground, he loudly begged for surrender and said: "General Mu, I am humbled and willing to surrender!" When the soldiers guarding the gate saw that the captain was killed and the deputy captain surrendered, they were at a loss of ground and lost their swords and guns, saying loudly: "I am willing to surrender."
!”
Mu Ying shouted: "Hurry up and open the city gate to avoid the death penalty!" City Gate Deputy Lieutenant He Dongping got up from the ground and repeatedly ordered the soldiers to open the door. The city gate creaked open, and the city sergeant lowered the drawbridge again, and Mu Ying took the fire
He climbed up to the top of the city and waved the torch three times. The shouts of killing rang out outside the city. It turned out that the military commander Chi Hongming was anxious and had brought his people here for a long time. After waiting for a long time without opening the door, he was in a hurry when he suddenly saw the city gate.
After opening the door, I saw the torch on the city wall waved three times, and I was sure it was one of my own, so I felt relieved to lead the people into the city.
Chi Hongming led 1,500 people into the city. Mu Ying came down from the city and surrendered to Chi Hongming. Chi Hongming left 200 soldiers to guard the south gate, and followed him with 1,300 brothers.
He led Muying and Dongwei's troops to kill the Happy Building.
In front of the Happy Building, Xiao An was sweating anxiously. The small square in front of the Happy Building had become like a slaughterhouse, with corpses and weapons everywhere. Sikong Jing and Shi Rengui joined forces to kill Xiao An to the point of exhaustion.
More than four hundred corpses of officers and soldiers had fallen in front of them. They all died to protect Xiao An. Xiao An looked at the hundreds of men nearby and gritted his teeth.
I can’t figure out why Sikong Jing and Shi Rengui are so strong!
Seeing that Sikong Jing and Shi Rengui were showing signs of exhaustion, Xiao An shouted at the top of his lungs: "Brothers, these two thieves can't hold on anymore! Quick, kill them!" Another wave of officers and soldiers from the Hundreds shouted and charged.
Come up.
Sikong Jing and Shi Rengui fought back to back with the officers and soldiers. Shi Rengui smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Sikong, I'm afraid we two brothers will have to confess here tonight!"
Sikong Jing said with a breathless smile: "Everyone from Prince Wei's Palace has set a fire at the Yamen Shou Yamen. There should be reinforcements behind. Brother Shi, please hold on a little longer! Otherwise, you can sit down and rest first, and wait for me."
How about killing another hundred of his people, and then you replace me later?"
Before Shi Rengui could answer, he heard shouts of kill coming from the south side of Happy Street, "Kill! Xiao An, the dog officer, is rewarded with a thousand taels of silver for capturing him alive!" When Xiao An heard the shouts of kill, he turned pale with fright and hurriedly turned back towards the street.
Looking to the south, he saw thousands of soldiers coming to kill him. The leaders were Dongwei General Banner Mu Ying and Guan Military Academy Lieutenant Chi Hongming. Xiao An felt a chill in his heart, and he immediately understood that the South City Gate had been breached.
Chi Hongming commanded his soldiers to surround Xiao An and others, and shouted: "Rebel Xiao An, you have been surrounded by us, and it is difficult to fly. Why don't you get off your horse and surrender!"
They were afraid and did not dare to fight anymore. Sikong Jing and Shi Rengui took time to breathe. Shi Rengui's nose and temples were covered with sweat. He thought that if these people were two cups of tea later, they would have to collect the bodies for themselves.
Xiao An knew that the situation was over, so he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh maniacally, his laughter was sad.
After a long while, Xiao An slowly took off the black gauze hat on his head, looked at Chi Hongming and said: "I, Xiao, did not plan things secretly, so today's big event failed. This is because God wants to destroy me, Xiao An, I am the fourth-grade county governor."
, how can you dismount and surrender to you, a little seventh-grade captain! I, Xiao An, will never be humiliated today, I will die!" As he spoke, he pulled out his sword and swiped it on his neck.
Gu Lulu's head fell to the ground, and Xiao An's body fell down from the horse. When Xiao An's soldiers saw that the county guard was dead, they immediately became leaderless and fell into chaos. Sikong Jing shouted loudly: "Hurry up and put down your weapons, or we will kill you!"
A halberd commander reacted very quickly and immediately shouted loudly: "The governor is dead, let's all put down our weapons!" As he spoke, he dropped the Yanling sword in his hand and knelt on the ground. The officers and soldiers were panicking.
Seeing a halberd commander kneeling first, they all also threw away their weapons, knelt down together, kowtowed to Sikong Jing and others for mercy. At this time, the soldiers in the north also heard about Xiao An's death, and they were all frightened.
After putting down his weapons and being guarded by Qiu Fenglin and his men, Zhao Tieyi was very proud.
Among this group of people, Sikong Jing has the highest official position. He is the commander of the imperial guards of the first rank. Therefore, Chi Hongming, the commander of the military academy, stepped forward and said, "Commander Sikong, you have the highest official position here. Please pass on the order to take over as the county guard."
Go to the Yamen!"
Sikong Jing laughed and shook his head, and said loudly: "The result tonight is entirely the work of Prince Wei's palace. Let's ask Mr. Zhao Tieyi to take over the county governor's office! You guys quickly hold up Xiao An's head.
, take a few hundred soldiers to the Wuquan Marquis Mansion and the County Guard's Yamen to recruit and surrender the remnant soldiers. Anyone who resists will be beheaded, and anyone who robs people's houses will be beheaded! Go quickly, lest more innocent people die or be injured!"
Chi Hongming agreed and left 500 soldiers and horses to guard the surrendered generals. He carried Xiao An's head and rushed to Wuquanhou Mansion with 400 soldiers and horses to reinforce Sun Chengliang, the chief secretary. Mu Ying took 400 soldiers and horses.
Dozens of troops and horses from the Eastern Guard rushed to the governor's office to reinforce Gong Cao Long Shiyuan.
Sun Zongcheng, Zhao Tieyi, Long Si, Wei Qinghe, Yuan Lang, Dai Chengchao and others were all sitting on the roadside exhausted. Among the dozen famous slaves of the enemy brought by Sun Zongcheng, only Qiu Cheng was still alive. Miao Yuting hid in Happy
Inside the gate of the building, he saw that soldiers were already cleaning the battlefield, so he dared to walk out cautiously. He was a scholar, he had never seen such a battle, and his calves were twisted.
Qiu Fenglin led more than 200 servants and officers and soldiers of the enemy family to fight for half a night, but also suffered heavy losses. Only more than 100 servants were still alive, and many of the survivors were covered with wounds. Shi Rengui was covered in blood after being killed.
, came to Qiu Fenglin with a bright silver gun as a crutch. Qiu Fenglin said with a smile: "Teacher Shi, you have made a contribution in killing the enemy tonight. I will report your achievements to the Palace of Prince Wei. You will have a chance to become an official!"
Shi Rengui laughed and said: "I am lucky to have survived the rebellion tonight. How dare I expect to be an official? It's all fate, I don't force it!"
Seeing that the fighting outside had stopped, the Madam, the Turtle Man, the Turtle Slave, and the girls in the Happy Building all trembled and showed their heads, watching quietly. When they heard that Xiao An had committed suicide, they were all scared to death, knowing that this time the Happy Building would definitely
Chapter completed!
