The sky was getting dark, time passed bit by bit, and the noisy inn gradually became quiet. Feng Qianhu opened the door and went out to take a look. He saw soldiers lying scattered on the ground in the yard, all sleeping soundly in the night.
, couldn't help but feel happy, and brought his fingers to his lips to whistle.
Upon hearing this signal, the doors across the east and west courtyards opened at the same time, and the men in black, who had long been unable to restrain themselves, rushed out with sharp swords, ready to happily chop melons and vegetables. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
A dense row of crossbow arrows were shot out from the darkness, and with the sound of sharp points penetrating into flesh, the man in black screamed and fell to the ground.
At the same time, the officers and soldiers who were "standing up" on the ground also jumped up and fired their crossbows that had been strung. Amidst the buzzing sound of the bow strings, the black swords cut through the night sky and shot towards the covered man in black.
Amidst the continuous screams, the man in black fell down again.
It wasn't until Wang Xian's men drew their weapons and rushed towards them that the people in black came to their senses and hurriedly waved their weapons to meet the enemy. However, their Feng Qianhu had been hit by an arrow and fell down in the first wave of attacks.
In an instant, the originally peaceful courtyard of the station turned into a Shura killing field. Soldiers from both sides fought for their lives, and the shouts of killing shook the night sky.
Wei Wuque, who was falling behind, saw that Feng Qianhu had been fooled, and secretly cursed "trash", but he could only shoot out a red firework.
Wang Xian, who was protected by the guards, still had time to joke with Zhou Man: "Old Zhou, do you regret it?"
Zhou Man's old face turned pale, and he smiled with difficulty and said: "You must seek wealth and honor in a dangerous situation. Otherwise, how could you wear a scarlet robe at such a young age?"
"Haha, I love hearing that." Wang Xian laughed. Suddenly seeing the fireworks rising into the sky, he quickly reminded loudly: "Pay attention to the perimeter, beware of enemy sneak attacks!"
After hearing the order, Du Hai hurriedly led the Mongolian warriors outside the post house and stared at the streets in the night with wide eyes. Although they all widened their eyes, they still did not notice how the enemy was approaching. The faint blue color
The darts shot strangely from the night sky, and the Mongolian warriors were caught off guard. They were hit one after another, screaming and falling down. Then, countless short, hooded guys, holding long and curved samurai swords, rushed towards them.
In front of the Mongol warriors.
Seeing the sharp swords coming, the Mongolian warriors hurriedly raised their swords to fight. However, the scimitars in their hands looked like they were made of wood. They were easily cut in two. The opponent's sword did not reduce its power and actually struck them hard again.
, causing fatal trauma.
Almost in the blink of an eye, all the Mongolian soldiers on the outermost layer were cut down. Mo Wen, who was in charge of commanding the battle, shouted sternly: "It's the Japanese. Pull back Duhai and put the white-armored soldiers on top!"
When Duhai saw that his son-in-law had suffered heavy casualties and his eyes were already bleeding, how could he still listen to the orders? He screamed and waved his mace, and led his men to fight to the death with those short and fierce enemies.
I must take revenge for my life!
However, they had never seen an enemy with such strange skills, and the Mongolian sword in their hands was far from a match for the Japanese sword. In just a few rounds, they lost nearly a hundred people, and even Bao Duhai was hacked to death with a single blow!
If it weren't for the support of white-armored soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding long and short swords, not even half of the 500 Mongolian soldiers would be left...
When the white-armored soldiers came up, the Japanese suddenly had a lot of trouble. This elite group was carefully selected from the young army. All of them were extremely skilled in martial arts, fierce and tenacious. They also used skilled chain formations to use long and short soldiers.
They used swords to fight against the enemy. Their long swords separated the Japanese knives, and the short swords used the crossbows to deliver fatal attacks to the enemies. The Japanese's long swords occasionally struck them. Because they were protected by armor, it was difficult to cause fatal injuries. Instead,
He was split in half by a white-armored soldier!
Seeing that the crumbling outer defense line was finally stabilized, Mo Wen breathed a sigh of relief and loudly ordered: "End the battle quickly!"
There were only about three hundred men in black left in the yard. Their numbers were already lower than Wang Xian's. Although they were all elites, how could they compare to Wang Xian's elite masters? They were soon eliminated.
Divided and surrounded, it is difficult to fly with wings.
After hearing Mo Wen's order, the soldiers attacked even more fiercely, especially Yang Rong. Although he was old, he wielded a Yanyue Sword, and there was no one under his command who could defeat him! The man in black was completely unable to resist, but he refused to surrender.
, he was killed by the soldiers in just a short time...
At this time, another green firework rose into the sky, and the Japanese, who seemed to be unaware of life and death, all rolled out of the battle group and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye...
The shouts of killing gradually subsided, and only the groans of wounds continued one after another. The strong smell of blood made Lingxiao faintly nauseated. Wang Xian patted her back lightly a few times and sighed: "I told you how good it is for you to stay in the capital.
"
"No, if I were in the capital," Ling Xiao looked pale, but raised his head and said, "Who will protect you at this time?"
"..." Wang Xian felt warm in his heart and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Military advisor, we have already interrogated the prisoners." Xu Huaiqing looked worried and came over to report: "They are officers and soldiers of Fengyang Guard, and they were ordered to capture a group of rebels..."
"Where is their main force?" Wang Xian simply didn't ask about whether there were reinforcements, because that was all nonsense.
"In order to avoid our scouts, their main force is twenty miles away, but from the moment we entered the town, they should have rushed towards Banqiao Town." Xu Huaiqing said with some difficulty: "It is said that there are ten thousand
, and most of them are cavalry..."
"Should I feel honored that you spent so much money just to kill me?" Wang Xian touched his nose and said with a bitter smile.
"The military advisor is still in the mood to joke..." Xu Huaiqing said helplessly: "We have to break out of the encirclement at night."
"Listen to Mo Wen, I told him to take command." Wang Xian said calmly.
"Military advisor, I suggest that we should continue to go south." Mo Wen said in a deep voice: "Although it is closer to Zhongdu, since the officers and soldiers of Fengyang Guard have been dispatched, I am afraid that there is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den! Only when we reach Chuzhou is it safe! But the official road
If we can’t leave, we can go around Dingyuan County and then go to Chuzhou, so we should be able to avoid their ambush!”
"I said, I will listen to your command." Wang Xian said with a slight smile. He has no doubts about employing people. When it comes to leading troops to fight, Mo Wen is better than him. Moreover, before the formation of the young army, Mo Wen had traveled all over the country.
He knows the terrain of Gyeonggi very well. Of course he is right...
After simply bandaging the wounded and tying them to their horses, the team rushed out of Banqiao Town in the dark. After traveling less than two miles, they got off the official road and headed south from the fork in the road.
On the official road three miles away, torches shone in the sky, the armor was cold, and amid the roar of horse hooves, countless cavalry were galloping towards Banqiao Town. In the middle of the team was a middle-aged general with bright armor, Fengyang.
Wei Hu, the commander of the left guard, looked ahead with a stern face, but his heart was in turmoil. He was the only one in the army who knew that although this operation was under the orders of the Central Military Governor's Office, it was actually a sheep's head and a dog's meat.
—I am actually carrying out the secret order of Prince Han!
Although he knew that if the incident came to light, it would be a capital crime. But he was an old subordinate of the King of Han. Not to mention the friendship and promotion he had in the past, just saying that his younger brother was now the commander of the personal guards of the Han Dynasty, their family was just like him.
The King of Han is a person who is both prosperous and destructive. If the King of Han falls, the Wei family will be doomed, so although he was full of anxiety, he still obeyed his orders without hesitation.
It's just that he doesn't quite understand, isn't it just to eliminate Wang Xian? Is there any need to send out two guards and horses to surround and annihilate him in an overwhelming manner?
While he was thinking wildly, a scout came to report that a man who claimed to be the envoy of King Zhao asked to see him.
Wei Hu took the jade pendant offered by the scout, looked at it, nodded and said, "Let him come over."
After a while, a handsome man in a white robe and a white horse came over, cupped his hands towards Wei Hugong and said, "Commander Wei!"
"It turns out to be Mr. Wei." Wei Hu obviously knew Wei Wuque, but although the two of them were both named Wei, they were not related by blood.
"Commander Wei, don't go to Banqiao Town. If you drink tea quickly, you can meet those people." Although the situation was urgent, Wei Wuque still said without any fireworks: "All the ambush soldiers in the town have been killed by that person.
Yes, they have gone to Dingyuan now."
"What?" Wei Hu's heart suddenly tightened when he heard this: "What do you mean by killing them all?"
Wei Wuque then briefly told Wei Hu how Feng Qianhu did not listen to advice, acted on his own wisdom, and ultimately sought his own death.
"This is going to be a big trouble!" Wei Hu said with a pale face. Although the people who died were not from the Fengyang Central Guards, but from the Fengyang Left Guards, in peacetime, if so many people died at once, it would be impossible to cover them up.
, even after the superiors tracked him down, he couldn’t escape.
"Master Wei, there is no need to panic," Wei Wuque suppressed the contempt in his heart and said calmly: "The two princes and Master Ji are here, so we just go ahead and do it."
"That's right!" Wei Hu knew that the matter had come to this and he could only walk all the way to the dark side. Then he gritted his teeth and said: "I have arranged two thousand-man teams in Dingyuan County, which should be able to stop them. Send the order, go at full speed.
Chase!"
A burst of rapid war drums sounded, and the drowsy soldiers immediately cheered up. The army slowly accelerated and finally galloped!
The horse's hooves turn over the lamp and break through the frost of the bright moon.
The road leading to Dingyuan County is not an official road, so it is naturally not that smooth. Now those Mongolian warriors have a place to use. With their superb riding skills, they lead the large troops forward, dexterously crossing the ditches and bumps, and the people behind them.
Just follow the example of the gourd.
Mo Wen was guarded by the Mongolian cavalry in the center. He had to carefully identify his position while galloping. Although he was familiar with the terrain in this area, it was still very difficult to clearly identify his position at night.
Fortunately, he was born with keen intuition. When he reached a fork in the road, he decisively ordered: "Take the north one!"
The Mongolian cavalry didn't know the road either, so they naturally followed orders, and the army turned back to the northeast.
Although Yang Rong had never been here before, he was a veteran in the army, so he felt something was wrong and said, "Sir, General Mo seems to have changed his intentions again."
"Just believe in him." Wang Xian smiled lightly: "If there is only one person who can lead us out of the siege, it must be him!!"
