Chapter 49: Ambush in Shanyang (4)

The official army was defeated, and the ground was filled with weapons left by the defeated soldiers when they fled. The sunlight at dusk shone on these weapons, shining with a dazzling light like gold and silver. The fallen armor pieces were blown by the wind and collided with each other, making a rustling sound, much crisper and more powerful than the sound of leaves.

Many flags were stained with blood and were randomly abandoned by the roadside. The largest flag was the "King" flag of Wang Zhizun, the magistrate of Shanyang County. Several holes were cut by runaway arrows on the huge flag, and they were repeatedly trampled by many deserters, stained with yellow or black stains.

Li Laiheng was depressed. He walked back and forth around the battlefield for a few times, and his mood became worse and worse. He couldn't help but kick the helmet left by the officers and soldiers.

The helmet flew up, and after passing a trajectory in the air, it landed at Gao Yigong's feet. Gao Yigong also smiled bitterly, but he had years of military experience and acted more calm than Li Laiheng. He picked up the helmet again, wiped away the dust and blood on it with his sleeves, and handed it to the personal soldiers beside him, asking him to collect all the armored soldiers left behind by the official army. Then he walked over slowly to comfort Li Laiheng.

"Little Tiger, you plan to lure the enemy. In this battle, you have destroyed at least 300 troops in the official army. We can only lose more than a dozen people. What's the point of being so humiliated?"

Li Laiheng inserted his waist knife to the ground with force and cursed, "Hao Yaoqi, a slut, said so much nonsense, and he was just making a fuck! He grabbed the most powerful sword card team in his hand, and actually intercepted the butt of the official army and let the big fish go!"

The Little Tigers carefully arranged the pocket formation and used the most elite swords and sharp soldiers to block the official army's escape route. But Hao Yaoqi was stunned and only charged forward, forgetting to adjust the deployment of troops and block the official army's heavy responsibility of breaking through. Once the defeated soldiers rushed, they were in chaos, so that the Qin soldiers caught the fighter's opportunity and broke out in one fell swoop.

"If you let go, big fish will be a little bit, and if you are afraid of the snake, you will be a big thing. Now the officers and soldiers are in a panic, and they will definitely guard the city walls of the county. I think it will be difficult to break into the county walls!"

Gao Yigong also knew that Hao Yaoqi led the most elite sword and card team to block the rear, but he even let the main force of the Qin army run away. It was really unforgivable. But he also felt that the ambush that wiped out more than 300 officers and soldiers was already a very big victory, so there was no need to blame him too much.

"This may not be the case. After this defeat, the official army has become a frightened bird and has lost all its fighting spirit. Perhaps we can open the county town with just one rush."

"What's more,..." Gao Yigong pointed to a gentry who was tightly tied up by the soldiers of the Little Tigers in the distance. "The magistrates of Shanyang County asked us to capture them alive. Little Tiger, you have made great contributions."

Wang Zhizun, the magistrate of Shanyang County, was riding a tall horse and a group of gentry who were ignorant of soldiers, riding a tall horse and walking in front of the official army. But his luck was much better than Mr. Ye. The Little Tigers' first round of volley shots killed Wang's mount. He was immediately dismissed and was crushed by the corpse of the mount, and actually avoided a big battle.

It was not until the official army was defeated and Zhang Shoujie led a few Qin soldiers to the siege and Li Laiheng led his troops to clean the battlefield, and someone dragged the magistrate out from under the horse's corpse.

The camp has been fighting in the world for decades. Not to mention the magistrate, even the magistrate, the magistrate and the top general, I don’t know how many people have killed. But it took Li Laiheng a short time to join the camp, and the Little Tigers could capture a magistrate alive. This ability also made Gao Yigong admire him.

"Hmph! Brother Gao, it's okay if you don't say it. When I talk about this dog official, I'm even more angry." Li Laiheng snorted coldly from his nostrils. Although the ambush was a victory, the various changes caused by Hao Yaoqi still made him feel particularly unhappy.

"When I dragged the dog official out from under the dead horse, his legs were covered with filth, and it was covered with my body. My face was probably the same as the dead horse."

Li Laiheng looked at Magistrate Wang with disgust. When the county lord Bailihou was pressed down on the horse, his legs were covered with foul filth. Li Laiheng didn't notice it for a moment, and even went forward to do it himself and dragged Magistrate Wang out. He was stained with a foul scent, which had not yet dissipated.

"Isn't this guy who shook the flag back yet?" Li Laiheng couldn't help pinching his nose. He couldn't stand the stinking smell on his body. "Brother Gao, have you seen shining the flag?"

Gao Yigong nodded. After the ambush, Hao Yaoqi did not hold the internet and let the heavy rain run away because he did not cover the Internet, which made Li Laiheng, who was angry, curse. After that, Hao Yaoqi followed the banner of making meritorious contributions and led the sword and card team to pursue the fleeing Ming army, and clean up the remaining enemies along the way.

"He has just returned, but he just knows that you are still angry and dare not come to see you."

"Ha! This guy!"

Li Laiheng turned the tiger head and waist knife in his hand, put a knife flower, and put the handle into his hand. He usually managed the logistics of the Little Tigers. During his training, he did not forget to ask for advice on martial arts, including Li Guo, General Staff Liu Zongmin, Sailanling Liu Fangliang, Li Shuangxi, Dang Shousu and others. His skills have improved greatly.

Both Li Zicheng and Mrs. Gao regarded him as their grandchildren's children, and were more caring than Li Shuangxi. Mrs. Gao asked Li Guo and Gao Yigong to bring meat and fresh vegetables to Li Laiheng several times, and asked You Ci to follow Nu Hong in his daughter's camp and sew two short shirts for Li Laiheng.

Relying on the supplementary nutrition of the small stove during this period, Li Laiheng's body shape has changed a lot. He could hardly see the thin and hungry look when he was in Zhuxi County before. Instead, he was tall and tall, with his sharp eyes and a pretty face, and he had a bit of a handsome and handsome look.

"Hao Yaoqi, Hao Yaoqi, you are just careless on weekdays. This time, the war is related to the life and death of the Little Tigers and even the camp. How dare you do things with such a playful attitude?"

After Gao Yigong's repeated persuasion, Hao Yaoqi finally came out and dared to meet Li Laiheng. He was still a little shameless and did not continue to look careless. He had a half-blushed face and his voice became much smaller. His mouth was buzzing like a mosquito and muttering back and forth, "Do I know I'm wrong?" and "Let me make meritorious."

Li Laiheng was so angry that he could hardly suppress the desire to use the back of the knife in his hand and hit Hao Yaoqi's head hard. However, he also knew that although Hao Yaoqi always made mistakes in his work, he was one of the Yuan Cong's direct descendants who followed the old soldiers to raise an army. Although something went wrong this time, if he humiliated him too much, other old Shaanxi people with old qualifications would probably feel uncomfortable.

"Oh, from your tone, are you still a member of the Little Tigers? You have to know shame! You have to know shame!"

Gao Yigong had a gentle temperament. Seeing that Li Laiheng looked more and more angry when he saw Hao Yaoqi, he hurried forward to comfort him and shifted the topic to the capture of Hao Yaoqi's pursuit.

"Little tiger, I just came back after chasing the remaining enemies. I think I have captured a lot. Let's calculate this first!"

"Brother Gao, you're right. I won't be angry with him anymore."

Li Laiheng took a deep breath and barely controlled his anger. He felt that he still lacked the quality of a leader. Once things went wrong with his expectations, he could not maintain calmness and even spread the anger to others. This is worse than Li Guo and even Liu Zongminlai, who was irritable.

When fighting in Zhuxi County before, Zuo Town sent troops to intercept the attacks, and the weather suddenly changed and heavy rain suddenly fell. However, Li Guo and Liu Zongmin were able to maintain the rationality and calmness of an excellent commander at all times. In terms of leadership qualities, there are still many things that need to be learned and improved.

"Okay, shake the flag, then I'll see what you've seized in this pursuit."

Hao Yaoqi touched the back of his head and felt that Li Laiheng's anger had calmed down a little, then he called Uncle Qing and asked Li Changqing to help him and count the materials seized from this pursuit.

"The soldiers who broke through the border, and I heard the accent of the soldiers, should be the neighbors of our northern Shaanxi." Hao Yaoqi led the way forward and led Li Laiheng, Gao Yigong, Uncle Qing and others to see the capture. While analyzing the troops that broke through the border, "They left a soldier on the other side of the hill and wanted to rebel against me. I went up and kicked the heads of the officers and soldiers, and the rest dispersed. I guess there might be 40 or 50 people running back to the county town."

Li Laiheng had heard Hao Yaoqi say that he let dozens of officers and soldiers run away and fled back to the county town, and his anger burned again. He was about to start scolding, but Hao Yaoqi and everyone walked around an uncle, out of the dense forest, and walked to a clearing in the forest.

"Good guy! How many horses do you have to do!"

The scene in front of him surprised Gao Yigong, who had been in the military for ten years and had a lot of knowledge, and nearly one hundred mules, horses and animals caught everyone's eyes.

Even in later generations, Li Laiheng had never seen nearly a hundred mules and horses gathered together with his own eyes. One hundred mules and horses didn't sound like many. But when these animals, almost the same size as adults, gathered in the open space in front of him, Li Laiheng still felt dizzy and felt that there were horses everywhere wherever he looked, as if he was in a grassland with horses.

A gust of wind blew, and the mules and horses raised their heads and neighed. Large pieces of mane were like grass, and the leaves danced in the wind, like crows, which made Li Laiheng's mind the scene of "the wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep".

Although there are only less than a hundred mules and horses, and there are very few horses available for riding, most of which are healthy mules for carrying goods. However, for camps that are extremely lacking in transportation, this is a huge asset.

You should know that even if we are now storming Shangluo, the strong soldiers and horses are only a few dozen horses in total. Even Liu Zongmin, the second-ranked figure in the camp, is still riding the thin old horse-tie.

This sudden wealth cost Li Laiheng's eyes for a moment. He was a little disbelief. He first rubbed his eyes, then grabbed Hao Yaoqi's shoulder and shook it twice. Only then did he confirm that he was not dreaming, but that he had indeed seized so many animals of pack animals.

"Okay, okay, okay! Shake the flag, you did a good job, you made meritorious service. Yes, yes, you did a good job, very good." Li Laiheng looked at so many mules and horses, and it was really hard to suppress the excitement in his heart. He rubbed his hands, spoke incoherently, and walked around the place twice before finally remembering the serious matter and asked Uncle Qing to count the number of mules and horses seized.

"How is it, little tiger? Waving the flag was not in vain, right?" Gao Yigong saw Li Laiheng's angry look, and knew that Hao Yaoqi had escaped the disaster, so he changed the subject and turned to the county town of Shanyang County. "There are dozens of Qin soldiers in the official army fled back to the county wall. If they organize some civil servants to defend the city, it will probably be a bit difficult to break through the county town. However, Yaoqi just proposed a good idea to me, and I think it can be a try."

"Hmm?" Li Laiheng gradually recovered from the surprise of being hit by the heavenly fortune. He heard the hidden meaning in Gao Yigong's words, and wanted to give Hao Yaoqi some chance to make meritorious service. He responded and said, "Okay, shaking the flag, you will tell me, what method do you have to open the county town."

Hao Yaoqi confirmed that Li Laiheng really didn't look angry, so he walked closer two steps and expressed his ideas. He pointed to Magistrate Wang who was tied up by the soldiers of the Little Tigers in the distance and said, "Since the county magistrate of Shanyang County has fallen into our hands, we might as well just change into the clothes of the town heroes, pretend to be officers and soldiers, escort the county magistrate into the city, and take the opportunity to open the city gate?"

Li Laiheng frowned. After he and Li Guo had been together for a long time, their expressions when thinking about problems became more and more similar to Li Guo, and they all looked solemn.

The method proposed by Hao Yaoqi is similar to the strategy of rushing into the camp and capturing Zhuxi County at night. But the problem is that after this ambush, the officials in the city were already frightened. Will they still be brave enough to let the magistrate enter the city?

"Brother Gao, do you think the government army is full of soldiers, will it be fooled?"

Gao Yigong smiled and asked, "Will we still suffer a loss by using this method? As long as we pull the magistrate to the city, we will not lose anything. If we can trick the city gate open, we will naturally be the best. If we can't trick the city gate open, we will still attack the city and there will be no losses."

Li Laiheng nodded, but was still a little worried. He remembered the unlucky thing that he was rubbed with dirty things when he dragged Magistrate Wang out of the horse, and a few more anger arose in his heart.

He walked to County Magistrate Wang, cut the rope that bound the county master with his waist knife, and took out the ball of rag stuffed in County Magistrate Wang's mouth, threatening: "We want to do something with you, and you will be obedient and you will be fine. If you don't listen to my instructions, I will cut off your tongue with one knife."

Li Laiheng was threatening, but he said that he really wanted to do it. If he wanted to cut County Magistrate Wang into a mute with one knife, it would be hard to control. Maybe the power he used was a little bigger, and County Magistrate Wang's body became a little weaker, so the county master would die.

After Li Laiheng untied the rope, Wang Zhizun, the magistrate of Shanyang County, wanted to stand up. But he was surrounded by a group of fierce thieves, and he was extremely afraid. Half of his feet stood up, his legs kept trembling, and fell down again, and knelt in front of Li Laiheng with a plop.

Wang Zhizun was immersed in fame and fortune throughout his life. He studied hard for ten years without mentioning it. In order to climb up, he had to flatter the superiors, pacify the gentry, and exploit the common people. In recent years, the imperial court has used troops everywhere, and the country has shortages, and the emperor has the most important examination to urge the ranks of the imperial examination. In order to get the opportunity to be promoted, he used all means to satisfy the tax examinations of the top, which not only made the local civilians breathless, but also almost broke the face with the gentry.

Seeing the gentry sending various impeachment documents to Xi'an every day like snowflakes, Wang Zhizun regarded this time to send troops to hunt down the bandits as a good opportunity to turn the tables. But he did not expect that before he got fame and fortune, he sent his head to the bandits. It was so sad.

In front of the thief's steel knife, he almost forgot the teachings of the sages, and could not raise any courage in his heart, and even between his legs, he could not control his feelings...

Wang Zhizun is also a well-read person, and he is not the kind of wise and honest person who does not perform practical things, but a county magistrate who actually shares the worries of the king and father and does practical things. He feels that apart from his own skills, he does not have excessive corruption and abuse of power. In this world, there are many officials who are truly corrupt and unscrupulous, so why are they so unlucky and become the hands of thieves?

He was both ashamed and angry, and wanted to use the righteousness of the monarch and ministers in the Spring and Autumn Period to teach the leader of the thief in front of him a lesson. But when Li Laiheng pointed the tip of the knife in his hand at his head, the beautiful article he had just organized disappeared from his mind in an instant, leaving only panic.

Magistrate Wang curled up into a ball, and his legs suddenly trembled. Then Li Laiheng saw a pool of water stains flowing out from his crotch.

"This dog official! This pickled thing! Drag it on me quickly. I don't want to see his dirty things anymore!"

When Li Laiheng saw that Wang Zhizun, the magistrate of Shanyang County, was frightened and incontinent, fearing that he would repeat the scene when he was pressed down on the horse before, he hurriedly asked the soldiers of the Little Tigers to take him away. After some time, he pulled him to the bottom of the county town of Shanyang County, used him as props, and tricked him into opening the city gate.
