The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 240 Dark Clouds Destroy People's City

"Who are these cavalry generals?"

The torch was whistling and swaying in the wind. Wang Chongrong watched the specks of fire spread out into the distance, and he was worried for no reason. A large group of cavalry appeared on the ground. Anyone would be suspicious. How could he return home safely? After falling asleep, he immediately called Du Tong and sent someone to check outside the city.

Not long after the scouts left the city gate, they turned back suddenly. Along with them, there was also a messenger who claimed to be from Longyou, and handed a letter to Wang Chongrong.

"Geng Qing"

After reading the contents of the book, Wang Chongrong didn't express his opinion for a while, and his confidants around him couldn't do anything, so they could only accompany him quietly.

The wind blew late at night, and it took him a while before he moved. Looking at the dark sky in the east, there was a trace of white, and nodded to the messenger.

"Shang Shuling's request, Wang has complied. The remnants of the yellow thieves can be punished by everyone. If there is not enough manpower, the Hezhong Mansion can also send troops to capture the thieves! But reply to your Shang Shuling and tell him not to send troops to disturb the Hezhong Mansion common people, otherwise Wang will fight against it with his troops."

The messenger rushed down the city wall and rushed out of the city gate. The eastern sky turned fish-belly white, and the morning light broke through the gaps in the clouds and pushed the green color to run across the ridges, forests, north of Hezhong, south of Fengzhou, the horse-drawn carriage captured before The damaged and skewed post road, the golden light spread over, and the sound of footsteps and horseshoes came one after another.

One by one, the wandering soldiers on horseback and on foot rushed past the wreckage of the carriage.

"I found the trace!" "Hurry up—"

"Kill everyone! Grab the armor and weapons and run away!"

On the roads and in the mountain villages, there were business travelers and ordinary people who saw this scene far away. They were so frightened that they quickly hid and watched the thousands of thieves passing by in groups.

Not long after, there was a sound of fighting in the direction the business traveler was traveling, and they turned a corner, past the hidden foot of the mountain, and there was already a corpse in front of them.

The sun shone through the gaps in the clouds, and the bright red blood stains pierced the eyes.

In the forest at the foot of the mountain, flocks of birds flew away in fright, and the crowd fought around the trees. Thick blood splashed on the tree poles and slowly slid down. The figure of a person sat under the tree, his eyes widened, and he died.The companion's figure straddled the corpse and shouted hissingly, with red eyes still pushing towards the guards inside, Liang Zi, who was like a blood feud, was already killing mad.

Commander Zhao, who bandaged his arms and one leg, held a knife in both hands and slashed fiercely. At the same time, the tree next to him exploded with sawdust under the blade, and the dried blood on his body was once again stained red. In the important place, he kept tilting his head to order the soldiers behind him.

"Go to protect the old lady, take the female relatives first—"

There were guards falling down all around, most of them were the wounded before, and the dry food along the way had already been exhausted. At this time, they braced themselves to fight the attacking bandits, hoping to let the rest of the robes and the female relatives in the car leave first.

"Commander, you go too!"

One of the guards was carrying half his arms and shouted on the ground. The two comrades beside him rushed to the commander's side when they heard the sound, and ran deep into the forest with each other.

"I can't go!" A female voice yelled ferociously. In the chaos, a woman in a tunic slammed the tree pole, and was flying towards this side, jumping over the dozens of people who were fighting below, and rushed away like a wave. The five guards who intercepted quickly drew closer to the commander of the guards who was running away.

The long sword in the woman's hand buzzed away, and a figure suddenly flew out from one side, hitting the woman in the middle, and then the figure spurted blood and flew upside down, hitting a tree behind, Tang Baoer fell to the ground in embarrassment, stumbling and crooked Leaning to the tree pole, she glanced at the guard who was grinning at her with bloody grins, then turned around and chased after the fleeing people.

The wandering army soldiers who rushed into the woods followed closely behind their leader and ran wildly. Someone in front ran and shouted: "They have escaped!"

"Hurry up, this is the forest, the carriage can't run fast!"

The distance gradually narrowed.

Ahead, a few carriages were guarded by more than a hundred people and were driving in a hurry. In the violent shaking, Qiao Niang tried her best to hug her mother-in-law to reduce the bumps. When she heard the thieves screaming from behind, she shed tears anxiously.

"There's a forest ahead!"

The guard driving the car suddenly shouted excitedly, which made Qiao Niang and Wang Jinqiu feel a little happy. When they got out of the woods, the carriage could get on a little faster, but they were only a little happy, and they left without stopping. Not dangerous.

"Hahaha!! I caught you—"

Qiao Niang only heard a ferocious laugh coming from outside the car, she hastily opened the curtain, the dark forest had passed, and the field of vision became wider. In front of the car, a dozen thieves in different costumes were standing on the dirt road not far away. Shangzheng looked over.

"You wait for the guards to be loyal to their duties. I have seen that the belongings and women in the car are left behind. Just run away and don't embarrass you!"

The guards guarding the carriage didn't respond at all, and a dozen or so soldiers armed with swords rushed over without saying a word, and joined the opponent.

During the blah blah blah blah, the commander of the guards was sitting in a carriage, leading the convoy and the rest of the soldiers, running all the way, sending out his hands from time to time to fight with the wandering army that was chasing up from behind.

He knew that this gang of thieves was good at fighting in mountains and had a large number of people. If they were besieged, they would really die. He could only split up a small group of soldiers to hold them back for a while, and try their best to rush to the middle of the river. Once there, they would be killed. The Hezhong government army took advantage of the fire to loot, at least their lives were saved.

The commander surnamed Zhao sat on the edge of the chariot, holding a knife in one hand, and shouted suddenly, cutting off a bandit soldier who was riding a horse from the side, "Don't stop, speed up!"

The surrounding guards were also running and slashing, and with a few jingling sounds, more wandering troops behind spread their feet and ran wildly. Among them, a slim and sassy woman rushed to the last carriage with a sword on horseback. Seeing the steel knife coming from the side, he simply blocked it, stepped on the saddle and jumped, and fell to the roof of the car without a sound, his steps moved very quickly, his figure rose into the sky again, turning like a swallow Flying in the air, throwing it to the carriage further ahead.

The blade of the sword swayed in the air, piercing the commander of the guards on the chariot who was slashing out of the chariot.

——Holding the Sky Sword!

The woman brushed across the roof of the second car, and the tip of the sword crossed the eaves without hindrance and pierced into the blade of the guard commander. Shengsheng staggered his body, the blade cut blood and flesh, he fell backwards and fell out of the car, the moment he turned around, he slashed with a knife in his hand.

when!
bang——

The blade slashed at the sword, and landed obliquely on the eaves of the car, cutting a gap. At the same time, his body fell to the ground with a bang, and was soon left behind by the carriage.

The guard driving the car hastily drew his knife, and was kicked from the back and flew out. The horse, which had lost control, neighed rhythmically and slowed down.

Under the sun, Tang Baoer stood on the roof of the car with a sword in one hand, her clothes fluttering, looking down on the fight like a god of war, she raised her arm holding the sword, and pointed the tip of the sword at the surroundings.

The voice is clear and bright: "Guan Er and others are all men with outstanding martial arts. The court is corrupt, and the towns have soldiers and brutal people. Why do you help the evildoers—"

Howling!
The neighing sound of war horses could be heard faintly in the distance. The woman who was speaking nodded and glared, and heard something faintly, and stopped her voice.

The thieves who were fighting with the guards below felt the slight shaking of their feet, and they pulled away one after another. Some people's eyelids twitched wildly, and a bad premonition vaguely appeared in their hearts.

"Can you feel it?" "The ground is shaking."

Some people turned around and said, "Stop what you're doing, we've won, kill these guards and grab women!"

"No, this vibration, it seems that many horses are not good, they are cavalry!"

Someone who had been in the cavalry of the rebel army had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the movement of the horses rushing. When the bandit soldier yelled this, he subconsciously raised his eyes and looked ahead.

Boom.
The sound of horseshoes became clearer and denser, and Tang Baoer, who was standing on the roof of the car, turned her head at the same time; Qiao Niang and Wang Jinqiu in the car hugged each other; the commander of the guards, who was lying on the ground and unable to move, squeezed out with difficulty, covering his wound. He turned his face to the ground, looked at the distance, and the slightly trembling dust particles in the realization, and grinned hoarsely.

"You guys are done"

That was the hoofbeat he was most familiar with.

On the distant road and the field, a black line spread like a tide, bathed in the sun, the armor refracted pieces of metal light, the first war horse fluttered its mane, its limbs galloped forward, and the knight's cloak fluttered above it, showing The fanned out spears with handles swayed slightly.

Fu Daozhao mopped the ground with his knife, turned up the mud, and looked at the approaching convoy and crowd in the distance, roaring like thunder.

"Crush the remnants of the yellow thieves—"

"kill!!"

The sound of roaring horseshoes and ferocious screams were all set off, and the galloping horse team was like a dark cloud covering the sky, moving towards this side at a high speed. Countless iron hooves stirred up smoke and dust, and they rushed over like huge waves one after another.

The thieves on the other side of the convoy stood still, their weapons fell to the ground without realizing it. Someone reacted, turned around and ran away, "Let's go!"

Those who have reacted, those who have not, are already too late.

But the guards gathered with experience and crouched around the carriage, or under the carriage. As soon as they squatted down, the ground shook wildly, and the bandits who were running wildly in the field of vision, or the bandits who stood still were instantly captured by the cavalry. engulf.

Tang Baoer was still in a daze, she didn't understand where so many cavalry came from.

"Get down!"

Chen Shuba's roar woke her up, and without any hesitation, he jumped off the roof of the car, leading a dozen or so masters to gallop forward, and the cavalry who came running behind stretched out their spears and pushed them over like a forest. The few people with poor lightness skills were immediately pierced in the back, and the spear point broke out from the chest and hung in front of the horse's head.

"Yah--"

The woman glanced at this scene from the corner of her eye. It was not easy for her to pull up the team. The soldiers who approached her were slaughtered in the blink of an eye. She was angry in her heart. She stopped and turned around, and she was slashing at the spears and horses that were stabbing with her sword.

The spear was cut off, and she was hit by the horse and flew, hit the ground heavily, rubbed against the ground, and slid out two feet without stopping.

Just as she was about to get up, two short spears were thrown and nailed to the sides of her head. Chen Shuba yelled to rush forward on foot, and swung a long knife in front of her. When it splashed out, people were also knocked down by the knife.

"Uncle eight!"

Tang Bao'er struggled to get up, his face was covered in mud and dust, and he hugged the man who was vomiting blood. Out of the corner of his eye, figures running around in a panic were chopped off by the iron cavalry who was chasing up. His corpse and blood seeped into the soil, leaving a huge bloodstain.

She knew that the only remaining wandering army was gone.

The sun gradually warmed up, and a carriage slowly stopped on a hillside in the distance.

Geng Qing came down tired, and was supported by Jiuyu to the top of the slope, watching the massacre unfolding below indifferently.
