Chapter five hundred and seventy third confrontation in the city
Liu Xiu stabbed the burly thieves he was fighting with with one sword. As soon as he pulled out the Red Sky Sword from the opponent's chest, more than a dozen guards armed with sharp blades rushed in from outside the box door.
However, after these people came in, they all stood there with ugly faces and did not dare to take a step forward.
Turning around, he saw that the thief general wearing a bronze helmet and armor was already being held down by Fu An with a dagger. Around him, there were several corpses of thief generals and guards. Fu An waved his hand and directly killed him.
The bronze-armored thief knocked off his helmet. He grabbed the opponent's hair with one hand and held the sword with the other. He held the opponent's neck firmly and shouted at the people around him: "Whoever dares to take a step forward again, I will cut off his hair."
Brain!”
Upon seeing this, Liu Xiu's eyes lit up, he shook off the Chixiao Sword in his hand, walked to Fu An, and stood side by side with him.
Seeing that their general had fallen into the opponent's hands, the guards who had just rushed into the box involuntarily retreated.
There were more guards in the corridor outside who came after hearing the news, but when they saw the situation in the box clearly, the guards in the corridor were also dumbfounded and didn't know what to do.
Liu Xiu tapped the bronze-armored thief general on the shoulder with the Red Sky Sword in his hand, and asked, "What's your name?"
The bronze-armored thief closed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Liu Xiu increased the strength of his hand, and with a snap, the sword surface of the Red Sky Sword hit his shoulder, making him feel that his shoulder blade was about to be cracked. He endured the pain and said word by word:
"I am Wei Heng!"
Yo! It turns out that this person is Wei Heng! Liu Xiu is no stranger to the name Wei Heng. This person can be called the number two figure in the Fifth Academy Army and one of the most important people in the Fifth Academy Army. Unexpectedly, this
This time he struck unexpectedly and captured Wei Heng.
Knowing who the other party was, Liu Xiu gained a lot of confidence. He said: "Let all your people withdraw!"
Wei Heng glared at Liu Xiu and said nothing.
Fu An snorted and retracted the dagger placed at his neck. Suddenly, the sword edge cut the skin of his neck, and scarlet blood flowed out. He warned: "Don't let us say anything again.
Twice!"
People under low eaves have to lower their heads. Now that he has fallen into someone else's hands, Wei Heng cannot be tough. With a gloomy face, he waved his arms to his men and said, "Get out of here!"
The thieves and generals in the box exited the box step by step and stood in the corridor outside. Liu Xiu said unhurriedly: "Wei Heng, I am not asking them to leave the box, but I am asking them to leave this kind of pavilion.
!”
"you……"
"Are you not convinced?" Fu An tightened his grip on the dagger again, and more blood flowed from Wei Heng's neck. He secretly gritted his teeth and shouted: "Everyone, get out!"
"Wait a minute!" Liu Xiu stopped everyone and said slowly: "Issuing another general order to tell the bandits around the county to stop attacking!"
"This is impossible!" Wei Heng said sternly without even thinking.
"You don't want your head anymore?" Fu An asked with a sneer. While speaking, he deliberately scratched Wei Heng's neck with the edge of his sword.
Wei Heng could clearly feel that the cold sword edge was about to tear open the flesh of his neck. At this time, Wei Heng's cold sweat was flowing. After thinking about it, his attitude softened and he said to his subordinates: "Pass it to me.
The general orders all officers and men in the army to stop attacking the county government!"
Military orders are like mountains! Wei Heng issued a general order. No matter what the reason for the order, as soon as the order is issued, the people below must execute it.
Soon, Wei Heng's order was conveyed. A fierce battle with the rebels was going on. The county soldiers, who were struggling to support themselves, were already close to despair. But at this critical moment, the rebel army attacking the county unexpectedly unexpectedly attacked all fronts.
Withdrew.
This situation made everyone in the county government look confused and their minds filled with questions.
The county magistrate Sun Ji, who was sitting in the lobby, was holding a piece of silk cloth and carefully wiping his sword. He was just waiting for the rebel army to break through the county government and wipe his neck.
Suddenly he heard that the soldiers came to report that the attacking rebels had withdrawn. He couldn't believe his ears. How could the rebels suddenly retreat?
The rebel army has so many troops, tens of thousands of them, but now there are only a few hundred of our own troops left. The difference in strength is so huge, it is impossible for the rebel army to be driven back by our own soldiers!
"This is impossible!" Sun Ji shook his head in disbelief.
The soldier who reported the news said urgently: "Sir, listen, there is no sound of fighting outside!"
Sun Ji was startled for a moment and listened carefully. It was true that it was quiet outside.
He widened his eyes, stood up, walked out of the lobby, and went to the courtyard outside. He looked up and saw that there were many wounded soldiers and corpses of fallen soldiers lying in the courtyard, but those guarding the walls were all from his own side.
Soldiers.
He excitedly followed the ladder, quickly climbed up the courtyard wall, and looked outside. Sure enough, the bandit troops that originally besieged the county government had indeed withdrawn, and only the corpses of the bandit soldiers were left under the courtyard wall.
What's going on? Our side seems to be unable to hold on, and the rebel army is already in sight of victory. But at this time, why do the rebel army suddenly retreat?
When he was puzzled, the county lieutenant ran over quickly from the backyard and said loudly: "Sir, the bandits have withdrawn!" wavv
Sun Ji climbed down the ladder and asked urgently: "Huang County Lieutenant, do you know why the bandits retreated?"
The county lieutenant shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I don't even know, even my subordinates know."
In fact, like Sun Ji, he was both surprised and baffled by the sudden retreat of the rebels. County officials also came to the front yard one after another to analyze the reasons for the rebels' retreat.
An official said: "The rebels are retreating. Do you want us to go out and surrender on our own initiative!?"
Sun Ji's face darkened and he said fiercely: "Even if I am shattered to pieces and crushed to ashes by the thieves, I will never surrender to the thieves!"
The county captain said categorically: "A man of seven feet must be worthy of heaven and earth as a man, and worthy of the king as a minister. How can he surrender to the bandit army and join the bandit army?"
The county magistrate and the county lieutenant had the same attitude towards the rebels. They were extremely resolute and did not waver in the slightest.
The attitudes of the two of them also directly affected the attitude of the county officials. Even if some people were afraid of life and wanted to surrender to the rebels, they did not dare to say it in front of the county magistrate and county captain.
All the officials said in unison: "We are willing to follow these two adults and live and die with the city!"
The surrounding county soldiers, even the wounded soldiers lying on the ground, all said in unison: "We are willing to live and die with the city, and we are incompatible with the bandit army!"
Sun Ji looked around at the people present and was moved in his heart. However, he was moved, but he had no good way to defeat the enemy. Now he could only wait, waiting for the bandit army to attack again, and fight to the death with the bandit army.
But the strange thing is that as time passed by, the retreating rebel army never fought back. The county government had no way of guessing what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the rebel army.
At this time, serious disagreements were also taking place within the Fifth Academy Army and the Tanxiang Army. The chief general of the Fifth Academy Army, Wei Heng, was captured. The officers and soldiers of the Fifth Academy Army were worried about Wei Heng's safety and no longer dared to attack the county government.
.
But the Tanxiang army didn't care. They saw that their victory was in sight, and only such a small county town was left. If they just gave up, how could they be willing to do so?
The opinion of the Tanxiang Army is that we should continue to attack the county government. No matter what, we must knock down the county government and completely occupy the city. Then we will use the city as a foundation to capture more cities.
As for Wei Heng's safety, we cannot give up such a great opportunity just because of him.
Of course, the Fifth Academy Army did not agree with the Tanxiang Army's approach. First of all, they were all subordinates of Wei Heng and were very loyal to Wei Heng. Secondly, if Wei Heng was killed, how would they explain to the general?
The Tanxiang Army took the lead in the battle, but the Fifth Academy Army did not agree. The Tanxiang Army wanted to launch a forcible attack on the county government, but the Fifth Academy Army even did not hesitate to use swords to stop it.
The current situation is like this, Wei Heng has fallen into the hands of Liu Xiu and others; the county government knows nothing about the outside situation, is on tenterhooks, and has no idea what the rebel army is up to; and the two parties within the rebel army are
The factions had serious differences and refused to give in to each other. The whole situation was at a stalemate.
pavilion.
Yin Lihua, Long Yuan, Xu Ying and others have already entered the building. Long Zhun and Xu Fei led more than a hundred county soldiers to guard the first floor, while Yin Lihua and others went up to the second floor.
Now all the thieves in the building have withdrawn, but there are still many prostitutes from the brothel who remain in the pavilion.
These women were severely ravaged by the bandits, and some were even tortured to the point of dying.
Yin Lihua, Xu Xiling, and Hua Feiyan temporarily acted as doctors and helped them apply medicine. In the box, Wei Heng was tied up tightly and sitting in the corner.
Long Yuan and Xuying looked at him from left to right. Liu Xiu and Fu An were sitting on the mat, drinking tea and nibbling dry food. Wei Heng squinted his glasses and looked at Liu Xiu and others carefully. The more he looked, the more he felt like this
People are not simple.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you? Real men, you don't change your name when you're in business, and you don't change your surname when you're in office. Don't you even dare to give your name?"
Fu An put down the dry food in his hand, glanced at Wei Heng, and asked, "Have you heard of Anmen?"
What secret door, open door?! Wei Heng stared at him without saying a word. Fu An smiled calmly and said, "I am from the dark door."
"An'an is a martial arts sect? Are you all from the Jianghu?" Wei Heng didn't notice that Fu An was referring to me, not us.
Fu An shrugged and didn't explain. He picked up the dry food again and started chewing it without saying anything else.
Wei Heng's mind turned around and asked again: "Were you invited by the county government? We have no grudges in the past and no enmity in recent times. We can turn enemies into friends! Tell me how much the county government has given you.
Money? I can give you more, even double, triple..."
Fu An said slowly while eating dry food: "We don't want money, we just want to protect the county!"
"What's the connection between the county and your Anmen?" Wei Heng asked with a frown.
Fu An ate the last piece of dry food in his hand, wiped his mouth, stood up, walked to Wei Heng, squatted down, and said, "You have too many questions."
Wei Heng said without giving up: "It's useless for you to capture me. When our army arrives at the city, none of you will be able to escape! We may even hide your door and cause disaster!"
"Are you threatening me?"
"I'm telling the truth. Now our five-camp army, Tanxiang army, has spread all over Wei and Qinghe counties. In the future, we will also capture Zhao, Changshan, Julu and other counties. It's not sure who owns Hebei.
!" Wei Heng said seriously.
Since the other party cannot be bribed with money, he can only use mind-attacking techniques.
If the people in front of him were a group of ordinary Jianghu people, they might really be frightened by his words, but now, the person in front of him was Liu Xiu, the emperor of Hebei. Liu Xiu sneered at Wei Heng's bold words.
