Chapter seven hundred and sixty-eight loyal servants at the end
Gongye took a long breath and looked at Murong Fu and said: "Master, at this moment, we have only one way to go, and that is to rebel against his Zhao family dynasty!"
The imperial court has designated the Murong family as rebels, and now even the army has been dispatched. Even if the Murong family wants to continue to be a good family, there is no hope. If they rebel, there is still some hope. If they don't rebel, Do you still want to be captured without mercy?
Gong Yeqian and others were retainers of the Murong family, and they were bent on regaining the Yan Dynasty. Therefore, they had no sense of awe and belonging to the Song Dynasty, and they had nothing to hesitate about the Song Dynasty.
Of course, if they could not resist, they would still choose not to rebel. After all, the conditions for rebellion are simply not enough at the moment. Although the Murong family said they had made too many preparations for rebellion, they were not ready in many aspects. If you rebel in a hurry, the possibility of failure is too high. This is why the Murong family has been developing in Jiangnan.
Murong Fu's emotions gradually calmed down, and his eyes were full of resentment as he said: "My father was forced to death by the army. Brother Deng even died tragically at the hands of the army. Our Murong family is at odds with the Song Dynasty!"
"Irreconcilable!"
"Irreconcilable!"
Gong Yegan, Bao Bubu and others shouted in unison.
The Murong family has indeed been rooted in the land of Jiangnan for hundreds of years. They have made various efforts for the rebellion over the past hundred years. Now, under the summons of the Murong family, several well-known water thieves in Taihu Lake have gathered together. Needless to say, these The water thieves are the men and horses secretly raised by the Murong family, but they are just turned into water thieves.
Two groups of water thieves are not eye-catching, but if multiple groups of water thieves gather together, the number of people will be very large.
There are thousands of men and horses under the four major villages of the Murong family, and the total number of these water thieves is nearly a thousand people. Plus the men and horses kept in the Yanziwu of the Murong family, it only lasts for more than half an hour. Time allowed Murong Fu to gather together a force of about two thousand men.
These two thousand people may not be able to compare with regular officers and soldiers when it comes to discipline, but when it comes to bravery, they are not comparable to the Xiang army in the Song Dynasty.
The Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty numbered in the millions, but there were very few of the Forbidden Army stationed in local areas. Most of them in the local areas were Xiang troops with low combat effectiveness.
As the land of Gusu in the south of the Yangtze River, the imperial court still attaches great importance to it, so there is such a group of forbidden soldiers in Gusu. Compared with the Xiang army, the combat effectiveness is not bad. Otherwise, it would be impossible to defeat the hundreds of elite servants under Deng Baichuan. They were surrounded and killed.
Standing on top of dozens of large and small ships were well-known strong men. These people had been raised by the Murong family for so many years, but Murong Fu and others did not directly tell these people that they had rebelled.
As for the subsequent encirclement and suppression by the army, Murong Fu was not worried at all. Once there was a fight and they had the reputation of being rebels, it would be too late for these people to turn back even if they wanted to.
As long as the defeat did not lead to the collapse of the entire army, Murong Fu was still somewhat sure that he could defeat the invading army with these men.
After all, in Murong Fu's view, there were only a thousand officers and soldiers, and it was simply a delusion to think that relying on these thousands of officers and soldiers to take down Yanziwu, which was defended by more than 2,000 people.
Soon, ships were seen approaching one after another on the lake, with flags fluttering in the wind. On the leading ship, there was a corpse hanging, and it was Deng Baichuan's corpse.
As the head of the four ministers of the Murong family, Deng Baichuan is quite famous in the south of the Yangtze River, especially among the subordinates of the Murong family. These people have a deep impression of Deng Baichuan, even more than their impression of Murong Fu. All must be deep.
After all, as the head of the Murong family, Murong Fu could not really get along with those people, but as a retainer of the Murong family, especially Deng Baichuan, the head of the four chief ministers, he was very familiar with these people.
When the big ship approached, Deng Baichuan's body could be seen clearly even though it was dozens of feet away.
Many people couldn't help but change their expressions when they saw Deng Baichuan's body. Even if they were mentally prepared, when they actually saw Deng Baichuan's body, Gong Zhigan, Bao BuTong and Feng Bo evil Qi Qi's expressions changed.
Even though Murong Fu had previously said that Deng Baichuan took the initiative to stay and stop the army, Gong Zhiqian and the others were not willing to believe that Deng Baichuan had been killed by the army until they saw Deng Baichuan's body.
Now that they saw Deng Baichuan's body with their own eyes, the eyes of Gongzhi Gan turned red and they couldn't help but shed tears.
How could the decades-old brotherhood be a lie? Not long ago, they were drinking together, but when they met again, they were separated by yin and yang. How could this not make people sad?
Especially at this moment, Deng Baichuan's body was still hanging on the bow mast of the army ship, which made Gong Zhiqian and several people's eyes turn red.
"Damn it, give my brother his life back!"
With a shout, Gong Zhiqian jumped up, walked on the waves, and headed straight for Deng Baichuan's body on the bow of the ship.
On the bow of the ship, Yang Zhi's eyes flashed with excitement. He saw Gong Zhigan coming across the waves. When he entered the range of the crossbow, Yang Zhi suddenly waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Shoot for me!"
Almost instantly, more than a dozen powerful crossbows were seen shooting out suddenly. The powerful crossbows were the powerful crossbows installed on the ship. One arrow could even penetrate a small boat. It was definitely not something that the physical body could withstand. anti.
The arrows fired from more than a dozen powerful crossbows locked onto Gongzhi Qian. An infinite warning sign arose in Gong Zhi Qian's heart. Seeing the lightning arrows, his expression changed drastically.
"No, Gongzhi's second brother is in danger!"
Feng Bo evil couldn't help but exclaimed, and subconsciously wanted to go to rescue Gong Zhi Qian, but Bao Bubu grabbed Feng Bo evil and gritted his teeth and said: "No, you must not go out!"
At this moment, Gongzhiqian, who had dodged two arrows, was unable to avoid several other arrows. Suddenly three arrows sank into Gongzhiqian's body. Even though Gongzhiqian was fully cultivated, he was still Unable to withstand the powerful destructive power from the bed crossbow, Gong Zhiqian's body was torn to pieces almost instantly.
Seeing the bloody and terrifying scene in the eyes of Bao BuTong, Feng BoE and others, it made everyone sink.
One moment Gongzhi Gan was still alive and kicking, but the next moment, a big living person was shot directly to death by a bed crossbow.
That was a big living person. He lost his life just like that. Seeing this scene unfold, Murong Fu, Bao BuTong, Feng BoE and others were obviously restrained.
Among them, Murong Fu could defeat Gongzhi, but he did not dare to hit the arrows shot by the crossbow.
After reacting, Murong Fu roared: "Shoot them, shoot them to death, and avenge Brother Deng and Second Brother Gongzhi!"
Murong Fu did not mention Murong Bo. He was obviously aware that Murong Fu had faked his death for many years. Except for retainers such as Gongzhi Gan, Bao Bubu, Feng Bo and Feng Bo, he still had feelings for Murong Bo. As for other people, such as the servants they raised Dead soldiers and the like, they have no feelings or impressions of Murong Bo.
Murong Fu directly shouted to avenge Deng Baichuan and Gong Zhiqian, which was indeed able to boost the morale of these people.
Suddenly, the sky was full of arrows, covering the big ship in front. The Murong family was able to produce so many arrows. It can be seen that preparing for the rebellion definitely took more than a day or two. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to produce such arrows all at once. Many arrows came out.
Given the level of corruption in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, as long as the Murong family could spend money, to be honest, they could get a large number of ordnance without any effort. These ordnance were even several times newer than those used by the sergeants of the army. point.
Hundreds of bows and arrows fired in unison. Although the momentum was not as spectacular as the volley of tens of thousands of bows and arrows, the lethality was no less powerful.
Seize, seize, seize!
Arrows were inserted into the boat one after another, and Yang Zhi, who was standing on the bow of the boat, did not dodge. He waved the sword in his hand and heard the clanking sound. The arrows were chopped down one after another. It was really There is no water leakage, and no arrow can get close...
Murong Fu noticed this and couldn't help but said to a water pirate leader next to him: "Give me the bow and arrows!"
Murong Fu bent his bow and set an arrow, and directly targeted Yang Zhi. Hearing a whizzing sound, three arrows were shot out one after the other.
Three arrows shot out at once, heading straight for Yang Zhi.
Yang Zhi narrowed his eyes. It could be said that he had been paying attention to Murong Fu's every move. When Murong Fu bent his bow and arrow, Yang Zhi had already noticed that Murong Fu's target was him, so he did it immediately. On guard.
The results of being prepared and not being prepared are obviously different. Yang Zhi flew up, avoided the first arrow, then casually slashed at the second arrow, reached out to grab the last arrow, and then With a flick of his hand, he immediately saw the arrow sinking into the body of a brave one-eyed water thief.
"Murong Fu, do you dare to fight me?"
In front of the two armies, Yang Zhi shouted loudly, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Many people looked at Murong Fu. At this moment, Bao BuTong burst out laughing. There was a bit of sadness and anger in his laughter as he stepped forward and said, "Could it be that you are deceiving me that there is no one in Yanziwu and just let Bao come?" Let’s learn from your master’s clever tricks!”
As he spoke, Bao BuTong strode out, straightened his body, and headed straight for the ship.
Most of Bao BuTong's attention was focused on the arrows on the officers and soldiers' boats. If the officers and soldiers used crossbows, he would definitely dodge and hide in the lake as soon as possible.
With the lake as an isolation, the power of whether it is a bed crossbow or an arrow will be greatly weakened, and even the line of sight will be deflected. Although those who are unlucky will still be injured by the arrows, it is definitely stronger than facing the bed crossbow directly. many.
But this time Yang Zhi did not order the crossbow to be used against Bao BuTong. For masters like Bao BuTong and Gong Yegan, it would be enough to bully the opponent for the first time and not be prepared. But with the precedent of Gong Zhigan, let's think about it again. It is obviously impossible to shoot the opponent with the help of bed crossbow.
Yang Zhi didn't think about shooting the opponent one after another, so he might as well let the opponent come over.
Bao BuTong's figure landed on the boat, and when he glanced around, he saw Yang Zhi standing at the front, with several figures behind him.
Especially one of the figures was sitting on a chair, and beside him, two burly figures stood on both sides.
Seemingly noticing Bao BuTong's gaze, Chu Yi nodded slightly towards Bao BuTong.
Perhaps Murong Fu's character has some flaws in one way or another, but Bao Bubu, Gong Yegan, and Deng Baichuan are straightforward and upright men. Even if they trust others, they can still win the praise of everyone in the world.
People with a character like Xiao Feng can identify with Bao BuTong. It can be seen that Bao BuTong, Gong Zhigan and these people are not evil people. If you really want to say it, they are just the wrong people.
Of course, Chu Yi had no intention of letting Bao BuTong and others go because of this. Unless Bao BuTong and the others surrendered immediately, otherwise, both sides would be life-or-death enemies.
Just one Gongzhi Gan, one Murong Bo, and one Deng Baichuan were enough to increase his luck by more than half a million, which made Chu Yi look forward to it. If Murong Fu was suppressed or killed, including Depending on how many people can increase their luck.
Chu Yi didn't want to gain luck through this killing method, he just did it casually. It happened that Murong Fu and Bao Bubu were enemies, so it was natural to kill him to gain luck. Within reason.
With Chu Yi's temperament, Chu Yi would never kill the opponent to gain luck if there was no grievance or enmity.
After all, Yang Zhi was injured. If he really faced Bao Ding, to be honest, Yang Zhi might not be his opponent.
When Bao BuTong landed on the bow of the ship, Lin Chong strode forward and said to Yang Zhidao: "Brother Yang, please give this person to Lin!"
Yang Zhi looked at Bao BuTong, nodded slightly, took a step back, and gave way to Lin Chong, saying: "Then I'll leave it to Brother Lin!"
Bao BuTong narrowed his eyes, Lin Chong was really extraordinary, especially the appearance of the leopard head, and the long gun in his hand. He looked like a fierce general. Bao BuTong couldn't help but raise his vigilance, and there was a faint feeling in his heart. I felt a bit apprehensive.
"Dongchang Stall, Lin Chong!"
Bao BuTong was slightly startled, then he cupped his hands and said, "Easy to say, easy to say, General of the Murong family, Bao BuTong!"
Lin Chong thought it was different even if he stabbed directly with the spear.
After all, Lin Chong was also a disciple trained by Zhou Tong, and his martial arts attainments were far superior to those of Bao Bu.
But Bao BuTong is valuable for his rich experience. With Murong Fu's famous name, traveling around the world will naturally cause a lot of troubles. Therefore, as one of the four generals, Bao BuTong does not lack experience in fighting with others.
As soon as they fought, Bao BuTong understood that he was not Lin Chong's opponent, but he was also keenly aware of Lin Chong's weakness of lack of experience, so he relied on his rich experience to fight with Lin Chong.
Lin Chong was not a fool, but what he lacked was this kind of fighting experience, so he did not rush to explode, but regarded Bao BuTong as an opponent to train himself.
After half a cup of tea, Bao Bubu was still exhausted and had used up all his moves. However, when facing Lin Chong, the pressure was getting heavier and heavier.
It has to be said that Lin Chong's qualifications are truly extraordinary, otherwise he would not have come into Zhou Tong's sight and been accepted as a disciple by Zhou Tong.
Even though Lin Chong didn't have much fighting experience, Lin Chong improved very quickly when fighting against others. This was felt most deeply by Bao BuTong, who he fought against, because when facing Lin Chong, Bao BuTong was under increasing pressure.
Big, if Lin Chong hadn't wanted to kill Bao BuTong so quickly, I'm afraid Bao BuTong would have been killed by Lin Chong's gun.
"Brother Bao, let me help you!"
A figure came across the waves, who could it be if it wasn't Feng Boxie.
Feng Po Evil came riding the waves, and as soon as he landed on the bow of the ship, he heard a long laugh: "Your opponent is Xu!"
The person who stepped out holding a spear was none other than Xu Ning.
Xu Ning never had a chance to take action. Now Lin Chong had Bao BuTong as his opponent, and Yang Zhi was injured and was not suitable for fighting anymore. Xu Ning couldn't help but volunteered to stop the storm.
Seeing that Bao BuTong could only parry in Lin Chong's hands, he was worried about Bao BuTong's troubles and couldn't help shouting at Xu Ning who was blocking the way: "Get out of my way!"
