Chapter 120 0117 [The traitor must die]

under night.

The sound of shouting and killing and the sound of galloping horseshoes shattered the tranquility.

The people in Licheng County woke up from their sleep one after another, each of them looked flustered, subconsciously wanting to run out.

At this moment, a team of yamen servants walked through the streets and alleys, knocking on their clappers and shouting at the top of their voices: "Folks, don't panic, the magistrate already has countermeasures, stay at home and don't go out!"

what?
The people in the city were taken aback.

Although they were still panicked in their hearts, most of the people chose to stay at home honestly in the end.

This is Zhang Shuye's method.

Less than a year after taking office, he has already established his prestige and won the hearts of the people.

The distance of more than three hundred meters is only a moment for the cavalry.

In the blink of an eye, eight hundred cavalrymen had rushed to the city gate.

Suddenly, a bandit who was responding in the city ran out staggeringly, shouting: "Master, there is an ambush in the city... ah!"

Before the words fell, several crossbow arrows struck from behind, piercing through the bandit's body.

There is an ambush!
The expressions of the cavalry changed, and the momentum of charging stagnated.

Li Heihu didn't change his face, his eyes were firm, and he rushed into the county along the wide gate.

As soon as they entered the city, they were greeted by hundreds of Xingde troops waiting in formation.

Behind the wide shield, hundreds of crossbows are facing the direction of the city gate.

At the same time, the defenders who had already ambushed on the city wall all showed their heads, pointing their crossbow arrows at the bottom.

not good!

This battle shocked the cavalry.

"Follow me!"

Li Heihu shouted again.

How thoughtful she was, she immediately figured out that there must be ambushes outside the city.

The only way to survive is to disperse the defenders in the city.

It has to be said that Zhang Shuye is indeed a man with both civil and military skills, and the arrangement of the defense force in the city is very ingenious.

Although the number of people is small, they are stuck at the gate of the city.

It is impossible for the opponent's cavalry to rush in all at once.

Coupled with a strong crossbow and long spear array, it can completely block the first wave of cavalry from Heishanzhai.

At this time, he led another ten thousand Xingde troops to fight out from outside the city, and under the attack from both front and back, he would be able to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Seeing more than 60 cavalry rushing in from the city gate, Pang Bin, the commander of the Xingde Army, waved his hand.

"Fire arrows!"

Swish!
A rain of arrows flew towards him.

puff puff!

The sound of arrows piercing flesh kept ringing in my ears.

These soldiers are all wearing iron armor, but the horses under them have no protection.

In an instant, more than a dozen war horses were seriously injured and fell to the ground, and the soldiers immediately fell to the ground heavily.

For a moment, people turned on their backs and howled everywhere.

"Let it go!"

Pang Bin ordered again.

The first group of crossbowmen retreated immediately, and the second group of crossbowmen stepped forward and pulled the trigger.

Another round of arrow rain hit, Li Heihu only felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he had been punched hard.

You don't need to look to know that there is an arrow in the chest.

However, it is protected by iron armor, and crossbow arrows cannot penetrate it.

The only powerful crossbow that can penetrate iron armor is the God Arm Crossbow.

It's a pity that the ordnance such as the divine arm crossbow, like the synchronous human armor, cannot appear in the forbidden army or Xiang army of the local state capital.

Only the Forbidden Army and Frontier Army of Kaifeng Mansion are equipped.

After this round of arrow rain, more than twenty war horses fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, less than twenty of the more than 60 cavalrymen who rushed into the city with her were left.

Li Heihu's face was frosty, and his pair of phoenix eyes stared at Pang Bin intently, flickering with mad killing intent, and the saber in his hand shone coldly under the light of the torch.

At this time, she was less than 20 meters away from the defenders.

Pang Bin was startled, his hands and feet felt cold, as if he was being targeted by a female leopard.

He sneered and ordered loudly: "The Chinese army disperses!"

Whoa!

The shield soldiers in the center immediately spread out to both sides, revealing a passageway wide for two people.

Li Heihu's pupils shrank suddenly, and a cold chill went straight to the brain along the tailbone.

Ballista!

Also known as the three-bow bed crossbow, it was a major weapon in the Song army.

During the Battle of Tanzhou, the Song army shot and killed Liao general Xiao Talin with a ballista in one fell swoop.

Without any hesitation, Li Heihu abandoned his horse and jumped.

The moment she jumped the horse, a Xingde soldier held a wooden hammer and slammed it hard on the trigger of the ballista.

boom!
The arrow, shaped like a long spear, shot through the horse's head in an instant with the whistling sound of breaking the wind, and then continued to shoot through the bodies of three cavalrymen without losing strength, before nailing them heavily on the city wall.

Li Heihu rolled several times on the spot, and after losing his strength, instead of retreating, he rushed towards the officers and soldiers with a knife in both hands.

A few spears came at once.

The horse-chopping knife parried the stabbing spear, and she slammed into the formation head-on with extreme arrogance.

Without waiting for the officers and soldiers to react, Li Heihu held the saber tightly with both hands and placed it across his waist.

Then the whole person twisted, and his arms suddenly exerted force. With the help of the twisting force at the waist, the long and narrow saber drew an arc-shaped light in the formation of officers and soldiers.

Those crossbowmen were all wearing leather armor, so they couldn't block the saber.

Countless people were chopped into two pieces!
"what!!!"

The shrill screams stimulated the nerves of the officers and soldiers.

At this moment, Li Heihu was like a wolf in a flock of sheep, he slashed left and right with a saber, and with his own strength, he disrupted the entire army formation.

hiss!
Pang Bin gasped, his expression horrified.

The most important thing is that the other party is constantly approaching him.

Thinking of the murderous look in the other party's eyes, Pang Bin felt his scalp go numb, and shouted sharply: "Quick, shoot the arrow and kill her!"

The crossbowmen looked at each other.

Not to mention whether the opponent is wearing iron armor, whether the crossbow can shoot through it.

At this moment, the opponent entered the formation, and a round of arrows rained down, I am afraid that the ones who died were all their own people.

"Kill!"

Seeing the bravery of the leader, the remaining bandits in Montenegro immediately burst into excitement, taking advantage of the chaos of the officers and soldiers, they rushed into the formation on horseback.

At this time, without the suppression of frontal crossbow arrows, relying on the crossbowmen on the city is far from enough.

Outside the city gate, cavalrymen kept rushing in and entering the formation.

With just one charge, the army was defeated.

"Run!"

The officers and soldiers threw away their shields and spears and ran away.

As for Pang Bin, seeing that the situation was not good, he had already run away.

Li Heihu was drenched in blood, standing with a knife in his hand, and ordered in a cold tone: "Kill them all!"

Without the army formation, infantry are like lambs to be slaughtered in front of cavalry.

……

In the mountain depression two miles away from the city, Xing Wanli had just led [-] cavalry and [-] elite soldiers back from Changqing County.

Even though they were wearing light paper armor, these soldiers were still exhausted after driving nearly sixty miles in a row.

After giving the order to rest, the soldiers suddenly slumped on the ground in disarray.

The cavalry took out refined grains such as bean cakes to feed the horses.

Xing Wanli took a sip of water and took out a cloth bag from his bosom.

After opening it, there were a few pieces of cooking cakes in the cloth bag. In such a hot weather, and after being stuffed in his arms for a long time, the cooking cakes gave off a faint smell.

But he didn't care, picked up a biscuit and took a big bite.

While eating, Xing Wanli froze.

There was a slight vibration under the feet, and the sound of galloping horseshoes could be vaguely heard.

cavalry!

"not good!"

Xing Wan's face changed, he threw away the cake in his hand, stood up and shouted: "The enemy is attacking, the whole army meets the enemy!"

He couldn't understand why the cavalry from Heishanzhai came so quickly.

According to this, Heishanzhai is more than 200 miles away. Even if one person and two horses run uninterruptedly, it will take at least three or four hours.

But at this moment, he didn't have time to think about it. After getting on his horse, he led the army to kill towards the county.

……

In the city, the shouts of killing gradually subsided.

Hundreds of officers and soldiers were slaughtered by the cavalry rushing into the city, and only the archers on the wall were still barely resisting.

Li Heihu was holding a knife in one hand and leading Pang Bin's head in the other. He was about to give an order when he heard the sound of killing from outside the city.

Sure enough, there are ambushes outside the city!
"Come five hundred cavalry, follow me out of the city to meet the enemy, and the rest stay in the city."

Li Heihu summoned a cavalryman, let him dismount, got on his own horse, and led five hundred cavalrymen out of the city.

Outside the city, the Xingde army and three thousand infantry had already handed in their hands.

The Xingde Army is a forbidden army, and during this year, Zhang Shuye trained the whole army and reissued the army's salary, which was quite effective.

In terms of combat power alone, the two sides are on par.

It's just that the Xingde army came at a gallop, and there was no time to rest in the future. The soldiers were weak and their hands and feet were weak, while the Montenegrin bandits were recharging their energy on the boat for a long time.

For a while, the two thousand officers and soldiers were beaten and retreated steadily.

If Xing Wanli hadn't commanded [-] cavalry to rush left and right, the Xingde army would have been defeated in just one encounter.

At the rear of the army formation, Xing Wanli was startled and frightened at the moment.

What was surprising was that these three thousand bandits were obviously infantry, but they suddenly appeared outside the county town at this moment. Could it be that there is an immortal method of shrinking the land to an inch in Heishanzhai?
Moreover, the shouts of killing in the city gradually subsided, I am afraid that the defenders in the city have already been defeated.

In desperation, Xing Wanli looked up to the sky and roared: "If you don't do anything, when will you wait?"

This endless shouting was quickly drowned in the shouts of killing.

"Hahaha!"

On the battlefield, the five masters rode on horseback, holding a big knife, slashing and slashing from the left, as if entering the land of no one.

The officers and soldiers slashed at the iron armor with their spears and knives, limp and weak, as if scratching an itch.

With the rise of Zhengsha, the voice of Lei Han, the fourth leader, suddenly came from beside him: "Fifth brother, I will help you!"

"Fourth brother, don't... ah!!!"

Wu Dangjia subconsciously wanted to refuse, a slender armor-piercing cone pierced through the armor and came out through the body.

"Lei Han, you are a traitor and you have joined the officers and soldiers!"

This scene was seen by the Seventh Master, his eyes cracked with anger.

Lei Han pulled out the armor-piercing awl and shouted violently: "Brothers, Li Heihu is dead, follow me to put down the Heishan rebels!"

Most of the [-] or [-] brothers under his command breathed out, and immediately turned the knife and slashed at the Black Mountain bandits.

The boss is dead?
A group of bandits panicked and panicked.

In addition, Lei Han led five or six hundred people to suddenly turn against the water, and the Black Mountain bandits were thrown into chaos, and the officers and soldiers who were about to be defeated were greatly boosted.

"I killed you traitor!"

The nine headed horses are about to rush.

At this moment, Lei Han yelled again: "Li Tianwang, why don't you do it?"

Li Tianwang also voted for officers and soldiers?

For a moment, many bandits turned their heads and looked at Li Tianwang with disbelief.

Li Tianwang struggled, turned his heart and said loudly: "The black tiger is dead, put down your weapons and accept the surrender!"

After all, he is Li Tianwang on the bright side, and even he has joined the officers and soldiers at this moment, making all the black mountain bandits lose their fighting power in their hearts.

Officers and soldiers don't care so much, seize this opportunity and fight desperately.

In a blink of an eye, offense and defense change shape.

"Kill the enemy!"

At this moment, with a soft drink, a cavalry rushed out of the city.

The cold voice was not loud, but it lifted the spirits of the bandits in Montenegro.

The boss is not dead!
After having a backbone, the bandits immediately roared and raised their weapons.

Li Heihu took the lead, his face was cold, and the killing intent in his eyes boiled to the extreme.

She knew that there were officers and soldiers spies in the cottage, but she never expected that her husband would also join the officers and soldiers!
Xing Wanli immediately commanded the cavalry to meet Li Heihu.

The two cavalrymen collided and strangled together.

The cavalry of the official army, which was exhausted, could not stop Li Heihu who was burning in anger. After a round of charging, the official army was defeated.

"Follow me and kill these two traitors!"

Li Heihu ignored the scattered cavalry and went straight to Li Tianwang.

Li Tianwang was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, he was about to ride his horse and escape, but was surrounded by a group of angry Montenegro bandits.

Seeing Li Heihu galloping towards him on horseback, Li Tianwang hurriedly begged for mercy.

"lady……"

Before he finished speaking, a saber-chopping knife came towards him.

With the impact of the galloping horse, even if the armor protected his neck, it would not help.

The huge human head flew high!
After killing Li Tianwang with a single blow, Li Heihu's anger remained undiminished, and he rushed towards Lei Han again.

Officers and soldiers can ignore it, but these two traitors must die!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lei Han had already fled to the side of the officer Xing Wanli on his horse.

"kill!"

Under the leadership of Li Heihu, the bandits in Heishan were extremely fierce.

Especially when encountering the traitors under Lei Han's subordinates, it was as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Even bandits hate traitors the most.

"Run!"

An officer soldier broke down, turned and ran.

With the first deserter comes the second...

In an instant, the official army collapsed.

Seeing this scene, Lei Han was horrified to the extreme, and hurriedly advised: "Xing Canjun, the bandits are fierce and invincible, let's go!"

Xing Wanli struggled, took a deep look at Licheng County, gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw the troops!"

Under the escort of the remaining [-] cavalry, Xing Wanli turned around and ran away.

However, Li Heihu didn't want to let them go like this, and led the Black Mountain bandits to chase them all the way.

"I surrendered, I surrendered!"

"Don't kill me!"

"..."

Seeing Xing Wanli fleeing, the infantry of the officers and soldiers threw away their weapons and knelt down to accept the surrender.

"Kill them all, leave no one behind!"

Leaving these words in a cold tone, Li Heihu led five hundred cavalrymen to continue the pursuit.

……

in the night.

At this moment, Xing Wanli only felt that the whole person was about to fall apart.

Fortunately, the pursuers behind finally stopped.

But he didn't dare to stop, and after running for another quarter of an hour, he gradually slowed down the speed of the horse.

Turning around, there were only twenty cavalrymen and Lei Han left.

The rest of the cavalry either got separated while fleeing, or were chased and killed by bandits.

Two thousand paper armor infantry, plus five hundred cavalry, this is the elite of the Xingde army.

All gone!
More importantly, Licheng County was lost.

Thinking of this, Xing Wanli was in a daze.

……

It was dawn, and Zhang Shuye woke up.

He barely slept last night, tossing and turning, feeling uneasy.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the tent.

"Why the noise?"

Zhang Shuye frowned slightly and scolded loudly.

Immediately, the soldier's answer sounded outside the tent: "Prefect, Xing Canjun is back, and I have something important to report!"

Xing Wanli is back?

Zhang Shuye suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, he hurriedly opened the curtain and walked out of the military tent.

Outside the barracks, Xing Wanli looked haggard, with only twenty cavalry behind him.

"What happened?"

Zhang Shuye asked tremblingly.

Xing Wanli got off his horse, knelt on the ground with a bang, and said bitterly: "Prefect, Licheng County has been taken!"

boom!
These words exploded in his ears like thunder.

Zhang Shuye felt his blood rushing up, his eyes darkened, and he passed out.
