The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 80

"Congratulations to Madam, the lord is here!" There were two maidservants at the door, and when they saw Yang Yong coming, one of the little maids hurried inside to deliver a letter to Xiao Meiniang, while the other was full of blessings, "The slave has seen the lord."

"Excuse me." Yang Yong said and went straight into Xiao Meiniang's room. At this time, Xiao Meiniang was supported by a maid to welcome Yang Yong. When she saw Yang Yong coming in, she glanced affectionately, and quickly knelt down and saluted: "General, come here." Already, my concubine welcomes the general."

"Miniang, don't be too polite. How is it? Are you feeling better?" Yang Yong helped her up and asked with concern.

"General Xie is pregnant, it's much better. It's just that I feel dizzy from time to time, restless when I sleep, and tasteless when I eat." Xiao Meiniang is weak, but that kind of beauty is more attractive, comparable to Lin Daiyu.

"Take your medicine on time and rest more. Come on, Brother Yong will help you to rest inside..." Yang Yong said, staring at Xiao Meiniang's charming body, and couldn't help but feel his heart fluttering.

Xiao Meiniang's face turned red, and the jade stalk drooped slightly: "General, my concubine is not in good health these days, and the general is worried about it."

"You're welcome, Meiniang, that's what you should do. But these days, Brother Yong is too busy, training and fighting, and there are too many things going on in the cottage, so I don't have time to take care of you personally, I feel deeply sorry."

"Where did the general come from? The general is a man of gold and gold. He has lofty aspirations and manages every day. How can I not know it? When the concubine recovers, I will serve the general well..."

Speaking of the two leaning together again, Yang Yong comforted her a few more words, and they slept together on the same bed that night.

When I woke up, it was four o'clock.Thinking that tonight he was going to conspire with Xue's father and son in Jincheng County, Yang Yong couldn't sleep, his mind was turbulent after thinking about it, and finally he got up from Xiao Meiniang's fragrant body before five o'clock, and went to the Qianshan Martial Arts Field. At this time, Xiao Du Yi was already riding a horse and practicing swords there.

Yang Yong also came here in high spirits, greeted Du Yi, practiced boxing and single-handed sword a few times, flew on the horse, danced with the big gun, and practiced archery several times on the flying horse, and the sky was bright.

At this time, the rebel army gathered by Chang Gongye also came to the martial arts field. Seeing that Yang Yong and Du Yi had performed martial arts here so early, the rebel army was greatly encouraged, including Bao Gongye, who was impressed by Yang Yong's diligence. , So he gave an order to command these rebels to kill and defend, line up troops, and started another day of training.

In order to meet the big battle in the evening, Yang Yong asked his brothers to rest and recharge their batteries in the afternoon.

In the evening, Yang Yong specially ordered the kitchen to add an extra dish, so that the rebels had a full meal. When it was time to set watch, under the light of many torches, the [-] rebels had assembled, and each one was as neat as a knife and an axe.

Yang Yong came to the team to mobilize before the battle, and brought out a set of words that he had pondered several times: "Brothers in the army, raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while. It's time to check our loyalty. Tonight's battle is very critical. , our people in the city will support us, and at midnight tonight, we will go all out to win the Golden City, and everyone will be rewarded with ten taels of silver.

If any brother is honored, you don't have to worry, someone will definitely collect your body, and your brothers, sisters, and the old and young in the family will also receive a considerable amount of pension; if I am honored with everyone, you too Don't worry, I, Yang Yong, keep my word and keep my word. This promise will be fulfilled by General Gongye who stayed behind in the village.So everyone must not be afraid of death in tonight's battle. I, Yang Yong, still say that, merits must be rewarded, mistakes must be punished. "

Those who survived will be given money, those who died in battle will be collected, and the family members will be given pensions?These battlefields were unimaginable more than 1000 years ago. Even Chang Gongye had worked with such an enlightened backer Yang Lin for so many years, and he had never heard of such a thing.

The popular saying at that time was to eat food and serve as a soldier. To put it bluntly, being a soldier is to fill your belly, tuck your head in your trouser belt, and blame yourself for your bad luck when you die.These commanders and generals can't handle the affairs of the living, so who cares about the affairs of the dead?

Therefore, as soon as Yang Yong said these words, the rebels whispered to each other, fighting each other, and the crowd was excited.

Then, Chang Gongye and Du Yi took the lead and shouted: "We must win!"

The [-] volunteers were so excited that they all raised their arms and shouted: "We must win! We must win!..." The shouts were like waves, resounding through the sky.

As soon as Yang Yong waved his hand, the scene fell silent again, and Yang Yong continued: "Report the number!"

"1! 2! 3..." Two hundred volunteers shouted in a row.

After reporting the number, Yang Yong asked those who reported the number to come out and stand on the left, and the winners stood still, and reorganized the team, and the [-] volunteers were divided into two.

Yang Yongdao: "The brother on the left followed me and brother Du Yi down the mountain to attack Jincheng, while the brother on the right stayed behind and guarded the village with General Gongye."

As soon as Yang Yong finished speaking, the hundred volunteers on the right became unhappy, and said one after another: "My lord, we are not afraid of death, we are no worse than them at all, why did we stay? We also want to follow the lord to attack the city and kill the enemy... "

Yang Yong waved his hand, and the scene fell silent again. Yang Yong persuaded: "Thank you brothers for your enthusiasm and loyalty. Of course I know that you are all brave. My soldiers of Yang Yong have no bear bags! But brothers, defend the cottage. More importantly, because this is our home that we have worked so hard to build, there must be no loss, the heavy weight will fall on your shoulders, and you will account for half of the military exploits tonight! Execute the military order!"

This time, no one spoke.Gong Yechang admired in his heart, this Yang Yong seems to know nothing, but in fact he is much smarter than me, he just hides it, otherwise he can be a prince?You can see how novel his tricks are to dispel the worries of the soldiers and inspire the morale of the soldiers. I'm afraid I can't even think of them!
When Yang Yong saw that the division of soldiers was over, he gained momentum, and the time was almost up. After the cries of the rebels stopped, he raised his gun and mounted his horse and shouted: "Let's go!"

Yang Yong and Du Yi left the village with a hundred death squads and headed straight for Jincheng County.

Fearing that the horses would make noises, before leaving, Chang Gongye asked Yang Yong and Du Yi to hold the horses with their hooves wrapped in cloth.

The weather is good today, although it is extremely cold, there is no wind, and the sky is full of stars blinking.Except for the sound of marching, there was silence all around.

Although these one hundred volunteers were not cavalry, it took less than an hour to trot for thirty miles, and the dark city head in the distance appeared in their sight.

Yang Yong sent an order to slow down the team and pay attention to concealment. A quarter of an hour later, the hundred volunteers appeared near the east gate of Jincheng County without anyone noticing.Although the weather was cold, the rebels trotted all the way, and now they were warm all over, and some were sweating slightly.

There was no movement in the city, and the silence outside was terrifying.Yang Yong, Gong Yechang and the others stared at the dark city, wondering how the Xue family and his son were preparing.

At this time, the second watch has already passed, and all that remains is to wait, anxiously waiting.

Time is a strange thing, the more you wish it to pass faster, the slower it will go; but if you think it passes too fast and wish it to slow down, it will still be like a thief, accidentally slipping from your palm and butt , quietly passing away.

Yang Yong, Du Yi, and the hundred brothers waited for an unknown amount of time, until the heat from the soldiers' bodies had long since dissipated, until a chill struck them and made them shiver, and when they were about to lose confidence, Suddenly, a big fire ignited on the top of the city, and the shouts of killing broke through the clouds, and then the city gate opened wide.

Yang Yong was overjoyed when he saw it, and said to Du Yi: "Little brother, I will lead people to rush in first, and you lead ten brothers to supervise the formation at the back. Don't rush into the city. Be smart, if we are ambushed, you will Scramble to guard the city gate, and if you really can't do it, leave the city and go to Brother Gongye."

"My lord, no, you are the head of the family, how can you take the risk of attacking, or lead someone to rush in first."

"Don't fight anymore, this is a military order." After Yang Yong finished speaking, he said to the hundred nominal soldiers, "Leave ten brothers and Brother Du Yi to supervise the battle. Those who retreat will be killed without mercy, and the rest will follow me!" Yang Yong After speaking, he rushed to the city gate first.

This is Yang Yong's first time commanding an army to fight alone. He took the lead and rushed in. These rebels saw that the lord is not afraid of death. What is our fate?Even dying in battle is better than being killed by the supervisor team behind.

"Come on! Kill—" the rebels shouted in unison, and followed Yang Yong into the city with the momentum of generous death.

The soldiers guarding the city gate were in chaos, many of them turned into sword ghosts without knowing what was going on, and those who survived were scattered and fled by Yang Yong.

At this moment, the guard general of the city gate heard the news, and was so frightened that he was out of his wits. He hurriedly put on his horse with a knife and led more than 100 Sui soldiers. Yang Yong knocked off his helmet with a single shot. Yu and the dead souls were frightened, and they wiped their heads and ran away. These Sui soldiers and Sui generals saw that the main general had run away, and they also ran for their lives.

Yang Yong raised his big gun in one fell swoop, and then covered him up.

Yu He was running with his men, when a general led his men to stop his way.Yu He saw that this general was tall and powerful, and he was Xue Ju's eldest son, Xue Renguo. He said happily, "Little general, the rebel army is here, and the leader of the bandits wielding guns is very powerful. Yu is not an opponent, stop them quickly." !"

Xue Renguo sneered: "Okay, I'll stop him now, but first I have to send you to the west, go to hell!" After speaking, he stabbed the unprepared Yu He with a halberd, Yu He yelled, and threw the knife Falling from the horse, he still didn't understand when he was about to die: "Ah? You...you..." Before he finished speaking, he vomited blood and died of exhaustion.

It turned out that Xue's father and son left Gaolan Mountain in the name of moving troops. The 1000 troops they brought back to the city did not rush back to the city, but instigated the 1000 troops to rebel halfway.

They are the main generals, and these 1000 troops are all Xue Ju's subordinates. They have no secrets, and they are just making a living with anyone who follows them. If they don't agree, they will be killed on the spot.

Xue Ju was overjoyed. In order not to arouse suspicion in the city, Xue Ju asked his son Xue Renguo to lead 350 subordinates, pretending to be "remnant soldiers and defeated generals" to go around the south gate, falsely claiming that Xue Ju was trapped in the mountains and wanted to move troops to save his father, and sneaked into the city from the south gate. .And Xue Ju led more than 600 soldiers and pretended to be in a panic, falsely claiming that his son was trapped in the mountains and wanted to move troops to rescue him, and sneaked into the city from the east gate.

After dark, the two groups of people came to the gate of the city almost at the same time.The general guarding the city gate saw that it was indeed Xue's father and son, and without any doubt, he respectfully led the two into the city.

After Xue Renguo entered the city, he took these more than 300 soldiers back to Xue's mansion, and handed over the soldiers to Xue Ju's confidant Wu Shouren, and asked the 350 soldiers to secretly protect Xue's family. The house found his mother and brother, and secretly told Xue Ju's secret order.

When Mrs. Liu heard that the master was going to turn against the city and raise a big banner to make a big event, the jade body trembled in fear.The second son, Xue Renyue, was overjoyed when he heard that: "Okay, it's good! These dog officials should have been killed a long time ago, mother, don't be afraid, with me and elder brother here, I will keep you safe."

The two brothers were afraid that their mother would be afraid, so they said a few more words of comfort. They closed the door and waited for the news of their father Xue Ju at home.

Due to time constraints, after Xue Ju entered the city without stopping, he took the "remnant soldiers and defeated generals" to the county guard Zhao Kai overnight.

When Zhao Kaiwen heard that Xue Ju was defeated, he was so frightened that he was out of his wits. He picked it up in person. He saw that Xue Ju's helmet was gone, and his face was covered with mud and dust. With a thousand soldiers and horses, there are only five or six hundred people in front of them. It is even more embarrassing to throw away their helmets and armor.

Xue Ju also knew how to act, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, pleaded guilty, and brought out the nonsense that he had made up a long time ago. After a big defeat, he retreated into the stronghold.Eager to win, he chased after him, and accidentally fell into an ambush by the rebels. He struggled and fought hard, and finally broke through the siege, but his son Xue Renguo was trapped in the mountain, and he asked Master Zhao to send more troops to raid the mountain and destroy the village.

Zhao Kai didn't doubt Xue Ju's words at all, he gritted his teeth and sent [-] soldiers to Xue Ju, telling him to rescue his son and wipe out the rebels in Gaolan Mountain.

Xue Ju was secretly happy in his heart, and said to himself, there are a total of 500 soldiers in the city, and another [-] people are coming back, which means half of the military power is in my hands now.There are still [-] soldiers and horses left in the city, and [-] soldiers will guard each gate. In this way, Zhao Kai only has [-] soldiers around him, and the big event tomorrow night is safe.

Xue Ju took the order to thank him, and immediately said that he would bring his second son Xue Renyue into the mountain to fight the bandits, and Zhao Kai nodded in agreement.

In this way, Xue Ju gathered 2000 soldiers and horses overnight, and together with his original 350 or so people, there were more than [-] people together. He bid farewell to Zhao Kai, and brought these [-] people with him Near Xue's mansion, together with Xue Renguo's [-] people, a total of [-] elite soldiers set up camp temporarily.

The new [-] soldiers don't know what's going on. Didn't they say that they will go into the mountains overnight to rescue people and suppress thieves?Why did you set up camp here?But the general didn't order, and he didn't dare not ask more questions.

Until the next morning, Xue Ju issued an order to hold an emergency military meeting. All the generals above the centurion attended.

Xue Ju ordered his confidant general Wu Shouren to take two hundred swordsmen to guard outside the tent, and then ordered his two sons to be called into the tent.

As soon as Xue Renguo appeared, more than half of the generals were dumbfounded, thinking, didn't it mean that Mr. Xue was trapped in the mountains?Why are you at home?Isn't this safe and sound?They were all confused, and only some soldiers understood the whole story, but they didn't dare to say more.

　Thank you for the reward of gasoline surnamed Zhang, Xing Xingcao bows here to thank you.
