Fenghou

Chapter 65
Chen Qing calmly looked at the gangsters who were faintly visible outside the city. The other party was not riding a horse, and they rushed towards the city gate in a panic. This reminded him of the puppet Qi army he encountered in Guanzhong. They go to death.

More than [-] gangsters shouted wildly, leading hundreds of people rushed up the suspension bridge and rushed into the city gate. The moment they rushed into the city gate, Chen Qing shouted, "Shoot the arrow!"

'Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang! '

The sound of clappers sounded fiercely, and the soldiers above and below the city fired arrows at the same time. More than a hundred bandits who had just rushed into the city were shot by the dense crossbow arrows one after another, screaming and falling down one by one.

The two thousand soldiers on the top of the city also shot arrows down the city at the same time. The arrows were as dense as rain, shooting at the bandits below the city, especially the [-] officers and soldiers on the front of the city holding bows. Arrows shot into the dense crowd,

This round of arrows killed the gangsters by surprise. Hundreds of people fell down from the arrows, lying on the ground and crying in pain. Perhaps because of the darkness, many gangsters didn't react and continued to attack the city.

At this time, the second round of arrows was shot. If we said that the first round of arrows was a little flustered, many crossbow arrows were shot crookedly, but everyone calmed down a lot in the second round of arrows.

A thousand crossbow arrows shot at the hundreds of bandits rushing into the city like a storm. Amidst the screams and wailing, countless bandits fell to the ground. At this moment, the sound of gongs to withdraw troops was heard outside.

'when!when!when! The sound of the gong was rapid, urging the gangsters to retreat immediately.

Zhang Kui finally realized later that they had been tricked, and the officers and soldiers had already laid a net.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Zhang Kui shouted.

The gangsters reacted one after another, and at the same time they heard the gong of withdrawing troops, they turned around and ran away in a panic, how excited they were when they came, and how embarrassed they were when they retreated.

The soldiers fired a third round, and the arrows rained like a torrential rain. One or two hundred soldiers who were fleeing were hit by arrows in the back and fell down one after another.

The gangster fled away in a panic, Chen Qing waved his hand, "Change your weapon, come with me!"

A thousand soldiers picked up their spears and sabers and followed the general out of the city. When Chen Qing stabbed an injured bandit to death with the green dragon halberd, the soldiers came to their senses and drew their swords to deal with the injured bandits who were still alive.

Chen Qing's heart was as hard as iron, and he showed no mercy to the injured gangsters. Even if they begged for mercy, they would be stabbed to death with a halberd. He knew in his heart, what are these gangsters scrambling to do in the city?To show mercy to them is to be cruel to innocent people.

Not long after, more than [-] wounded soldiers were killed, and all kinds of trophies were collected. Chen Qing ordered his troops to return to the city, reopened the drawbridge, and closed the city gate. More than [-] dead bodies will be disposed of tomorrow.

This battle had a major impact on [-] officers and soldiers. This was basically the first battle in their lives, and they achieved a brilliant victory. They wiped out more than [-] people, but none of them were killed or injured. It is simply a miracle. .

The morale of the two thousand soldiers was high, and the soldiers petitioned to fight Zhang Kui's bandits. Even Hu Yantong was tempted, and advised Chen Qing to take advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy and wipe out Zhang Kui's bandits in one go.

But Chen Qing was unmoved, and ordered the soldiers to cut off more than [-] heads and hang them on the top of the city to warn the whole of Muzhou. Anyone who dares to follow Zhang Kui and join the bandits will be killed without mercy!

As for the [-] soldiers, they started running again early the next morning to train their physical strength, practicing marksmanship and bow and arrow in the morning, squatting in the afternoon, and practicing night fighting in the evening.

Let the soldiers go through devilish training every day.
After the time entered May, the weather became hotter day by day. It has been a month since Chen Qing came to Muzhou. Except for setting up an ambush to defeat the sneak attack of the bandits, he never launched an attack on Zhang Kui, but focused on training his troops.

But this does not mean that Chen Qing does not pay attention to Zhang Kui's movements. On the contrary, he uses various channels to closely follow Zhang Kui's every move, and patiently waits for the opportunity to suppress the bandits.

Lin'an.

This afternoon, a guest came to the mansion of Shenzhi Zhengshi Qin Hui. It was Wang Bo, a martial arts student. When Wang Bo came to visit the Xiangguo Mansion, he didn't need to hand over a post like other officials. To make an appointment, his aunt was Qin Hui's. His wife, Wang Shi, Wang Bo was able to enter martial arts because he was recommended by Qin Hui.

Wang Bo's task was also to train the Xiang army, but he didn't have the heart to train the army, and he didn't even go through the gate of the barracks. This month, he and a few yamen hang out in various romantic places, living a happy life.

But Wang Bo is also paying attention to the situation of Chen Qing in Muzhou. In the past few days, he heard a news that the bandit officers and soldiers beheaded more than a thousand prisoners of war in Muzhou, and used their heads to build a Jingguan, which caused a lot of controversy in the court. Big controversy.

Wang Bo saw an opportunity to add insult to injury.

At this time, there was a crisp ringing sound from the inner hall, followed by the sound of footsteps. It was my aunt who came, and Wang Bo stood up quickly.

Soon, a large group of servant girls came out of the inner hall surrounded by a noble lady, and the hall was filled with fragrance.

The noble lady is Qin Hui's wife, Wang Shi. Wang Shi is about forty years old, with high cheekbones, thin lips, and slender eyes. She may have been pretty when she was young, but as she gets older, her mean face becomes more and more obvious.

Wang Bo hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "My nephew pays respects to my aunt!"

Wang Bo is the youngest son of the second elder brother of the Wang family. He has been sweet-talking since he was a child, and he is good at pleasing people, so he is deeply loved by the Wang family.

Wang said with a smile: "You little monkey has entered martial arts, you should be very busy, how can you have time to come and see me?"

"My nephew is indeed very busy, but no matter how busy I am, I can't forget my aunt. This is a snack from Shijintang specially bought by my nephew for my aunt. The Furong Shuangjiao crisp in it will definitely be liked by my aunt."

As he spoke, he presented an exquisite brocade box to Mrs. Wang.

How can I say that Wang Bo has a high EQ!He knew that his aunt liked sweet and salty tastes. She used to like Shijintang's dim sum in Bianliang, Tokyo. My aunt must miss the past when she lived in the Kingdom of Jin these years. Shijintang reopened in Lin'an half a month ago. Know.

It was not expensive, but Wang Bo knew that it would definitely touch his aunt's heart.

When Wang took the snack box, she felt mixed emotions. She seemed to have returned to her youthful days. After a long while, she sighed, "Bo'er has a heart, sit down!"

"Thank you, aunt!"

Wang Bo sat down, and Wang asked again: "How are your parents?"

"Reporting to my aunt, my parents are still in good health, and my father will be transferred to Xuanzhou soon to serve as the defense envoy of Xuanzhou."

Wang Bo's parents were officials in other places, and he lived with his grandfather in Lin'an, and he was deeply doted on by his grandfather.

Wang nodded and smiled and said, "You have been like this since you were a child. Every time you have something to please your aunt, tell me! What's the matter this time? Is it because you have no money again?"

Wang Bo glanced at the maid next to her, and Wang smiled and said, "They are all my confidantes, just talk about it!"

"It's like this. My nephew is determined to become a leader in martial arts and win the leader of martial arts. Facts have proved that my nephew also has this ability. My nephew met an opponent in martial arts. He thought he had some credit, so he suppressed his nephew in every possible way.

Last month, my nephew managed to win the task of going to Muzhou to suppress the rebellion, but he used his connections to snatch the task, so my nephew could only go to train soldiers, hey!Let's not talk about these small things. I heard that he committed a crime in Muzhou and Yushitai was going to investigate. He must find a relationship to bribe him again. My nephew was really upset. "

"What background does he have?" Wang asked coldly.

"He advertised that he was Zhang Jun's confidant everywhere in the martial arts, and all the martial arts officials fawned on him."

"Zhang Jun?"

Mrs. Wang snorted, "It's just a local official, not a high-ranking official!"

"The point is, Zhang Jun has connections in Lin'an!"

"Then what do you mean?"

"My nephew is thinking, since it's Yushitai's investigation, can I let my clan brother Wang Huan go, at least the clan brother won't be bribed by him."

Mrs. Wang understood what her nephew meant, so she nodded, "I see, I will tell your uncle later."

At nightfall, Qin Hui listened to his wife's pillow talk, and laughed, "Your nephew is not a cheap lamp! I guess he spread the rumors of the court through various relationships!"

Wang said angrily: "Isn't it good that Bo'er is smart and brainy? Didn't you arrange him to learn martial arts because you hoped that he could be your assistant? Don't you want him to be stupid and act like a fool to make you happy."

"Hey! That's not what I meant. It's a good thing that Bo'er is scheming and cunning, but Fan Zongyin personally handled the matter of Muzhou. It's best for him not to be too involved, lest he be involved. In the end, I can't get rid of the responsibility." .”

Wang nodded, "I understand, I will tell Bo'er not to get involved in this matter."

"Also, I found that the officials seem to be a little interested in this Chen Qing."

"why?"

"It's not that Zhang Jun boasted about how powerful this Chen Qing is, which made the officials tempted. Now the officials value these capable young generals. He promoted Yue Fei before. I guess he also trained Chen Qing. Think about it!"

"Then Bo'er going against this Chen Qing, will it be bad for him?" Wang was a little worried.

"It's nothing? There are no grievances between students. They are all small things. In fact, it is also a kind of training for Bo'er. Let him go. Besides, Chen Qing is not the only young general who the emperor pays attention to. Zhang Jun also recommended Yang Yi before." Among them, Liu Guangshi recommended Cao De, and Han Shizhong recommended Hu Yantong, so Chen Qing is just one of many rookies, it is not necessarily that he will be successful in the future, success is only a very few, and more people are unknown."

"Then, will my husband still intervene in the matter of Muzhou?"

"It can't be said to meddle! Wang Huan was originally the supervisor of the censor, and it was just a matter of raising his hands to let him go to Muzhou. Besides, who knows the grievances between Wang Huan and Chen Qing?"

Qin Hui looked at the top of the tent, but he was thinking about a secret letter sent to him by Yan Chang, which actually mentioned the name Chen Qing.

　Tomorrow is September [-]st, I implore book friends to vote monthly to support Lao Gao.

　　The book will probably hit shelves in mid-September.

　　Lao Gao will go all out.
