Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 610 Isn’t it an unforeseen disaster?
The mountain road on Beishan Road,
Crowded!

The chaotic steps complement each other.

The noble ladies from all over the capital and their wives all hurried up the mountain in a hurry, for fear of falling behind. Unknowingly, Jia Mu's pace slowly slowed down, and she pulled Feng Yatou and fell behind.

simply,
Not in a hurry, he led Yuanyang and Feng Yatou and stood on the platform at the corner. He took a breath and looked towards the foot of the mountain. Many soldiers took out their shields and blocked the gate tower. It was airtight. Why worry? .

and,

Mrs. Wang and her group were obviously walking behind the seats. They were closely surrounded by the guards of the Hou Mansion. They walked up slowly. As soon as they reached the corner, they saw the old lady and Wang Xifeng leaning there alone.

"Old lady, girl Feng, why are you still waiting here? Go hide in the mountains first,"

Wang Xifeng was aggrieved and wanted to speak, but the old lady spoke first.

"This is not about waiting for my mother-in-law. Seeing that you are lagging behind makes me worried, so it is good for me to stay here and wait for you."

With a slightly anxious look on her face, she looked at Mrs. Wang and Qin Keqing from head to toe. Although she didn't know whether it was true or not, it was rare and valuable when so many people were panicking. Wang Xifeng suddenly understood, and her reaction was not slow,

"Okay, there are no shouts of killing at the foot of the mountain. It should be that they don't have the guts to fight out again. It's good to just escape this moment. But you probably haven't seen it before. Outside the pass, you can often see foreign cavalry during chaos. It's much more chaotic than this. ”

"Yes, aunt, my niece is scared and has no courage. She can't help you and the county leader, so she can only wait here."

"Don't worry about him. It's better for us to go to the temple and wait, instead of staying down below and causing trouble."

"My aunt is still here, and my niece feels at ease. She doesn't know what's going on down the mountain."

"Yes, old lady."

in front of me,

His eyes turned red and he shed tears. His expression was extremely aggrieved.

From the soldiers at the foot of the mountain, there were many miserable wailing sounds, as if they were in great pain, which made people shudder.

The chief guard of the marquis's mansion behind him, with a group of guards, all holding long swords and wearing armor, surrounded the mountain road behind him.

Mrs. Wang is not hard-hearted. Although she doesn’t know whether what she said is true or not, crowds of people swarmed up the mountain. Only people from the Jia family of Rongguo Mansion were waiting. She was naturally moved and laughed.

"You are just a sweet talker. They are just a few thieves. They are harmless. Now that you have encountered them, don't go anywhere. Stay with me and walk together. Wei Yong, be careful."

just,

Jia Mu has something on her mind, but in this situation, how can she open her mouth, let alone the imperial concubines in the capital, the Queen Mother and the Empress are here, and the affairs in the house cannot be mentioned, so she simply won't talk about it. He took Yuanyang and Wang Xifeng and followed him up the mountain, while the others waited to go back and discuss it later.

Someone actually did this at the foot of the mountain. Is it a show or is it true? Although the old lady glanced at it, she also knew that this kind of arrow would do great harm to an unarmored person. Luo Yunhou's men were all heavily armored, and the soldiers in the palace were all heavily armored. Maybe they were coming from the opposite side. Who are those people?
At the foot of the mountain,

Although Mrs. Wang was a little worried, it didn't help. She pulled Qin Keqing's hand and found that her fingers were cold.

You must know that in Dawu, women are unique in practicing martial arts. It takes more effort and time and money than men. It is really not easy to have two people beside Mrs. Wang. I think this is what happens every time I come to the house. All with her two reasons.

Mrs. Wang comforted everyone, and then asked everyone to continue on their way. Jin Yu was wearing soft gold silk armor, which could not be penetrated by ordinary swords. She might have discovered something else when she went to Jing'an Temple. Everything today was too coincidental.

Dong Dawang and Peng Shiying had already stared at the bloody eyes, looking at the blood on the ground. Big beads of sweat fell from their foreheads. Who was ambushing him!

The two Yueshu girls each held sharp knives, one on the left and the other on the right, supporting Mrs. Wang. Qin Keqing was tightly held by Mrs. Wang. When Jia Mu saw it, she immediately felt relieved. Her guess was good. The Hou Mansion had already prepared, and those two Serving a concubine is indeed not an easy task, as she has martial arts skills.

because,

He patted Qin Keqing's hand as if to comfort him, but Qin Keqing couldn't hide the worry on his face.
"Yes, mother, my daughter-in-law is worried about her husband and doesn't know what's going on now."

They were private soldiers, holding the corpses of war horses as cover, lying on the ground and not daring to move. Three rounds of arrow rain had been fired from the south slope. Since our side was in a hurry, all the bows and crossbows were on the baggage carts, and there was no one at all. If you take it off, you won't even have a chance to fight back. It's just a massacre.

"Brother Dong, what should we do now? This is not an option!"

"What can we do? It's important to save our lives first. There should be a lot of people on the south slope. The archers are experienced. It's not easy to shoot three rounds in such a short period of time."

Dong Dawang used the pile of corpses in front of him and looked towards the south slope. He saw figures flashing in the dense forest. There must be a lot of them. The Queen Mother's chariot was on the mountain. This was a major event for the country. Why was it so important? What a coincidence.

"Now the people on the other side don't dare to go down the mountain and can only waste their time. It's just Brother Dong. The two of us are involved. How do you tell the court?"

Peng Shiying understood better that it didn't matter if some soldiers died. How could the assassination incident involving the Empress Dowager not be remembered by His Majesty when he was offering incense? What would happen when he arrived in the capital?

Dong Dawang does not have the previous barriers. Now he is like a grasshopper on a rope. He can jump around for a few days.

"It only depends on God's will. How to explain it is Luo Yunhou's business. The two of us are now at the mercy of others. It is just a matter of time. We will fight together to death. We don't know anything about this."

"That's all it can do."

The two of them had grimaces on their faces and hid beside the corpse of their mount, remaining speechless. It was an unreasonable disaster.

The military formation on the opposite side,
That is to say, Luo Yunhou's soldiers and horses had already dispersed on horseback. The arrows could not penetrate the heavy armor on their bodies. In order to protect the horses under them, they retreated urgently.

The military doctor who accompanied the army took out strong liquor to clean the wound and poured hemostatic powder on it. He had already taken a clean brocade cloth and bandaged the wound for the Marquis. In just a moment, the bleeding stopped.

"Master Hou, it's just a minor injury, some broken flesh, nothing serious."

After hearing the military doctor's explanation, Ning Bian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Hou, what do you think?"

"It's okay, it's just a minor injury. Can you tell who is on the other side?"

Zhang Jinyu didn't care about this minor injury at all. She thought about who the other party was and how bold he was.

"Master Hou, I don't know yet."

The voice has not fallen,

I saw another shower of arrows coming from the south slope.
At this time, how could Luo Yunhou's men sit still and wait for death? They took out their arm crossbows and shot them towards the mountain.

Just hearing screams, many people must have been hit.

In the dense forest on the south slope,

Naturally, many of the eldest princess's soldiers were hit by arrows. Although they were covered by trees, the power of the arm crossbows was huge. Wei Shuyun's expression changed, and she secretly thought that it was almost done. She immediately gave Yue Feng instructions,
"General Yue, it's almost time. We should leave. Bring the wounded." "Yes, Shang Gong."

Yue Feng did not expect that in such a short period of time, Luo Yunhou's men and horses would react and start to fight back. Looking at the government troops to the west, they were hiding at the foot of the mountain in darkness without any movement. They were simply useless.

"Come here, prepare to retreat. Those people are acting as planned."

"Yes, General."

immediately,

The Taiping Sect members who were escorted before were shot one by one by the soldiers under the eldest princess with arm crossbows in the dense forest. The deputy general asked many people to take out the flags and weapons used by the Taiping Sect and throw them in the middle of the dense forest. Scattered on the ground, they retreated with the soldiers from the path behind the mountain and disappeared deep into the back mountain.

At the foot of the mountain,

Duan Hong led his soldiers to shoot several rounds on the mountain repeatedly. When there was no movement in the dense forest, he stopped shooting and led his soldiers to the hiding place of the Marquis.

"Master Marquis, are you okay? The other party seems to be running away. Should I pursue him or not?"

Zhang Jinyu looked at the mountain. There was indeed no movement. The person must have run away. The movement was too fast, and there was no point in chasing. The Queen Mother was still on the mountain. If she tried to divert the tiger away from the mountain, it would be troublesome.
"Duan Hong, lead the brothers from the 3,000 forward battalion and go up the mountain to take a look. Don't go deep or fall into the enemy's trap."

"Yes, Lord Marquis, I will finally understand."

In response, Duan Hong waved his hand, and the three thousand pioneers dismounted, holding long knives and arm shields and rushed towards the dense forest on the south slope.

at this time,

Zhang Jinyu stood up and patted the soil on his body, and saw the dense arrows on the ground.
Suddenly something occurred to me,
He actually picked up the arrow just now from the ground, and then picked up a few more from the ground. Under the puzzled eyes of all the soldiers and Ning Bian, he inserted those arrows into his chest and abdomen, and asked Ning Bian to follow him. Find a place to hang it on your back. In this way, it will feel like you were attacked from the back and abdomen and hit by an enemy arrow. It shook well and did not fall off.
"Master Marquis, what do you want?"

Ning Bian asked puzzledly,
"Don't talk nonsense. You are all like me. You are looking for arrows to hang on your body. No matter how miserable it is, those dead horses cannot be wasted. Drag them all back. If there is still blood, put some on your clothes. , and some on your face.”

Zhang Jinyu saw that the people around him were motionless and urged. Ningbian seemed to understand the thoughts of the Marquis. He followed the Marquis and inserted many arrows into his body. How dare the others disobey?

for a moment,
The soldiers who were so angry just now looked like they were coming back from the battlefield. Many of the soldiers were real enough. From the wounds of the dead horses, they did not mind the blood and directly wiped it all over their faces. It looked much better. How miserable.

Zhang Jinyu was still disgusted and didn't want to, so she took out a knife and cut several holes in the clothes of the surrounding soldiers on their upper and lower bodies, making them messy, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Dong Dawang and Peng Shiying on the opposite side saw that there was no movement outside, and then saw that Luo Yunhou's men and horses had already fought their way up the south slope. Knowing that the enemy had escaped, they stood up from behind the horse's corpse and glanced at the soldiers behind them. The horse was lying on its back, many brothers died,

"Brother Peng, the two of us are going to Luo Yunhou to plead guilty now. We also need to ask the Marquis to protect you and me."

: "Is this possible?"

Although Peng Shiying was brave on the battlefield, he always felt bad luck since he entered the capital. Although he had never met Marquis Luo Yun, he had heard that the Marquis was generous, so he didn't know what kind of person he was.

"Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

Dong Dawang was not sure and could only take one step at a time.

The two stood up and walked towards the opposite military formation with the few soldiers around them. The two looked a little embarrassed. Although the blood on their bodies was not their own, it was quite a lot. Fortunately, they were not injured by arrows. Unfortunately, they were not injured by arrows. Fortunately.

As soon as he walked to the front of the formation, Ning Bian saw him and immediately scolded him.

"Who is coming?"

"Tell the Marquis that Dong Dawang from Hexi County and Peng Shiying from Hedong County are paying their respects to the Marquis. I hope the general will send a message,"

After the two of them finished speaking, they knelt down and knelt on the ground. Zhang Jinyu shook his head. Although he looked capable, he was a bit stupid.

"Let them come."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Ningbian came out of the team with a long knife and asked,
"Two generals, please rise. The Marquis has invited you."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, thank you General."

The two lost their momentum on the north bank of Anshui, and followed obediently. They saw a young Marquis guarding him in the military formation. He was handsome, handsome, and impressive. But like this, could it be that the Marquis was injured? Seeing Luo Yunhou's left arm wrapped with a wound cloth, the two of them were horrified.
"I will see the Marquis at the end. Are you okay, Marquis?"

The two of them said in unison, they were really worried. If something happened to Marquis Luo Yun, both of them were safe and sound, and the court would blame them. No matter how many words they tried to explain, it would be useless. The key point was where those traitors came from, and they were even more confused. water.

Zhang Jinyu coughed deliberately, looked a little ugly, and waved her hands.
"Ahem, do you know where those people come from?"

As if questioning, the two generals looked at each other, a little confused. Although Luo Yunhou was young, he was no less powerful than his own prefect. He did not dare to make any mistakes and shook his head repeatedly.
"Return to the Marquis, I don't know what will happen next."

"Master Marquis, the general has just led his troops here, how could he know that there was an ambush."

Seeing the two people in such a state of embarrassment, Zhang Jinyu lost interest and looked up at the dense forest on the hillside. His son Lang had already climbed up, but there was no movement.

It turned out that Duan Hong led his troops and surrounded them from both sides of the slope. He thought he would gain something. Unfortunately, after taking a look, he found that there was no sound in the dense forest, and there was not a single figure. There were only arrows from arm crossbows on the ground, which were obviously shot by his subordinates just now. ejaculated,
His face was red with embarrassment,
"Be careful, search carefully in the forest, and collect arrows by the way,"

"It's the general."

The soldiers behind him responded, all holding long knives, forming a circle and pushing forward.

Not long after they walked, they saw a number of dead bodies under the trees in the dense forest. A captain had gone forward to check. The bodies on the ground were thin, with dark complexions, and they were all wearing coarse cloth and using longbows. The weapons they used were not standard, so they were obviously not from the capital. When they looked at the color of their clothes, they were all yellow, and they had yellow cloth strips tied on their heads. They looked like traitors from the Taiping Sect.

Surprised, he immediately reported to General Duan,
After Duan Hong heard this, he quickly brought people over. Sure enough, it was obvious at first sight.

"We are searching carefully to see if there are any survivors,"

As he was explaining, there was a noise among the dead leaves behind a big tree. The surrounding soldiers gathered around vigilantly, only to see a wounded soldier with an arrow in his stomach turning over. There was little air coming in and a lot of air coming out, and he didn't know how to return. How long can it last?
"Quickly, find something and carry him down. Don't let him die yet, okay?"

Duan Hong didn't expect that he was still alive. Although he looked like he was dying, as long as he could tell who ambushed him, it would be easy.

"Yes, General."

The surrounding soldiers hurriedly tried to find something to carry, but there were no dead trees or branches in the dense forest. Duan Hong looked at it and shouted anxiously,
"Stop looking for it. Come on, get a few more people to carry it down."

"Yes, General."

The soldiers separated six people, lifted the man up one after another, and ran down the slope!
