Chapter 71 Good News
A team of archers immediately rushed up to the embankment and pointed the bow and arrow in their hands to the bridge of the pontoon bridge. When the officers and soldiers who were ordered to start saw this scene, they immediately cursed. Several officers and soldiers who had just got on the bridge retreated from the pontoon bridge regardless. As soon as they stepped on the south bank, they fell head-on from the arrow rain. Among them, they immediately shot the retreating officers and soldiers into hedgehogs, and fell on the beach one by one.
The officers and soldiers on the bridge panicked. Later, Wang Shaoyu was ordered to retreat. In front of him, there was a sharp bird of the thief army sealing the way. On both sides was a cold and piercing river. There was a dead word everywhere. This really became a bridge, and there was no way to go to the sky and no door.
Some officers and soldiers scolded Wang Shaoyu that he was not a human but a bastard. At this time, there was no way out, so they were fierce on the bridge, raised the rattan card to cover his body, and shouted and rushed to the other side of the river.
Nearly 200 firearms were divided into several rows. A row of rows came forward to fire on the pontoon bridge, allowing the cannonballs of the opposite officers and soldiers to fall around them. From time to time, a cannonball would fall in the crowd. Even if a few soldiers would be injured or killed, it was already at this time, even Liu Yaoben, an official, stood upright. Before the battle, he shouted to open fire. What else can a soldier say? No one paid attention to these flying shells at all. They filled them calmly and nervously one by one, and then waited for the order to be launched.
The sky has been covered with dark clouds since early in the morning. At this time, snowflakes have fallen one after another. The officers and soldiers holding rattan cards were knocked down one after another on the pontoon bridge. Some people fell on the pontoon bridge, and blood flowed out from their wounds and flowed into the river along the slitslits on the pontoon bridge. The river was immediately dyed red.
But more officers and soldiers are also forced to go crazy at this time. They simply rushed across the river with the body of the robe. They all know that if they want to survive, they will not retreat. Wang Shaoyu, who is already crazy, will shoot them on the south bank of the river without mercy. The only way is to rush forward and rush across the pontoon bridge to break up. Some thieves, waiting for Wang Shaoyu to lead the brigade to cross the river, they have a glimmer of life.
So now, these officers and soldiers have begun to rush to the north bank desperately. After overturning the group, they rushing into the group. The bodies plop and fall into the river, stirring up pieces of bloody water, but they have never completely blocked this group of desperate officers and soldiers on the bridge. In the end, some officers and soldiers braved the bullet rain and rushed. On the other side of the river.
But as soon as they stepped on the riverbank, a large group of officers of the Xingtian Army rushed up with long guns. The long guns kept stabbing like the shuttle of the loom. The officers and soldiers who finally rushed over the pontoon bridge were covered with holes and fell to the bridge one by one.
Some knife player kept rushing to the pontoon bridge, fighting with the officers and soldiers on the bridge surface, while smashing the greased barrier on the pontoon bridge.
When he saw Xing Tianjun throwing a jar on the pontoon bridge, the remaining officers and soldiers on the bridge were even more frightened. They rushed forward desperately and pushed Xing Tianjun's soldiers down from the pontoon bridge.
Several soldiers holding torches held torches and scolded, "Burt you bastards!" While shaking his arm, he threw the torch towards the pontoon bridge. The torch rotated in the air and landed on the pontoon bridge. Suddenly, it ignited the boards on the pontoon bridge. The grease-sprinkled boards met these torches, which immediately burned with a bang and quickly spread on the bridge.
The officers and soldiers who had just rushed to the bridge were immediately swallowed up by the fire, which made them jump around on the bridge. Finally, they couldn't stand such a fire. They jumped into the cold river with flames, and in an instant they experienced a pair of ice and fire. I feel it, but I feel absolutely unhappy. When I fall into the water, I will report directly to the king of the world.
Looking at the blazing fire at the head of the pontoon bridge on the north bank, Wang Shaoyu finally understood that it was not the timid battle of this team of the Xingtian army, but that they were waiting for them to send people to cross the bridge to kill their men. Now it seems that he was still fooled and foolishly took out the most elite three or four hundred soldiers on hand, one Then he filled it in. Looking at the men who were killed in the river, and the river that had been stained with blood, Wang Shaoyu couldn't wait to slap his mouth.
"Let them return! Hurry back!" Seeing Wang Shaoyu staring at the fire of the pontoon bridge, his men didn't wait for his order, so they roared at the archers who ordered the governor to retreat and quickly withdrew the officers and soldiers on the pontoon bridge to the south bank. At this point, even if they were forced to these officers and soldiers on the bridge, they could not cross the river, so they could keep a few It's better to keep a few.
These officers and soldiers on the bridge cried and fled back to the south bank of the river, but Xing Tianjun's fireman was still unrelenting. They kept firing guns at rows on the pontoon bridge, as if to see them off. In such a row of guns, another group of officers and soldiers were shot and fell into the river or on the bridge.
After seeing that the officers and soldiers had retreated to the south bank, Liu Yaoben raised his hand and stopped the fire and continued to fire. Suddenly, the whole Xing Tianjun on the north coast sounded deafening cheers.
Looking at the south bank, Wang Shaoyu pressed nearly 400 officers and soldiers on the bridge. There were only less than 200 people left to return to the south bank. Almost half of the people were killed on the bridge or in the river. Even if the rest fled back to the south bank, they were already scared and were about to collapse. They fell on the beach, crying and howling one by one. Some people were in a daze, looking at the bodies of the robes half floating in the river.
The air on the surface of the Luohe River was filled with gunpowder smoke, fire and the smell of charred corpses. The whole officers and soldiers of Wang Shaoyu stared at the burning pontoon bridge, and there was no longer the jubilation just now.
Several fast horses rushed to the ferry. The people on the horse jumped off the war horse and rushed to Liu Yaoben and said to him, "Sir, the general just sent someone back to the city, saying that he had led his troops to defeat the Guanning army under the command of Zu Kuan in Liuquan Town, and he can return to the county tomorrow..."
After hearing this, Liu Yao was immediately overjoyed. He grabbed the arm of the horse and asked loudly with a surprised face, "The general won?"
Obviously, this horseman didn't finish his words, but he even nodded and replied loudly with a happy face: "I won! The general won! And it's still a big win!!"
After hearing this, Liu Yao no longer doubted his ears. He turned around and immediately shouted at the soldiers who followed him, "Brothers, I'll tell you some good news! The general led the army to defeat Guanning Iron Horse in Liuquan Town! We won another game! Haha..."
After hearing Liu Yaoben's cry, the generals immediately cheered loudly again. To be honest, this time, Xiao Tianjian led the troops to Liuquan Town. The news came back in front of him, saying that the officers and soldiers who came this time were Zu Kuan, the general of the Guanning army, and the leader was also the Guanning Tieqi under his command. Everyone is more or less worried about Xiao Tianjian. They are afraid that Xing Tianjun is not the opponent of this famous Guanning Tieqi, and they are afraid that Xiao Tianjian will suffer a big loss. But at this time, no one will worry about anything. Xiao Tianjian once again told them with a big victory that Xing Tianjun is not afraid of any army in this world. They are the strongest army in the world, so after learning the news, the soldiers were all thunderous.
Chuanqi, who came to report the news, looked at Liu Yaoben and his generals cheering, and also looked happy. He opened his mouth several times to continue to report, but he was interrupted by the cheers, so he could only shake his head with a helpless smile, waiting for Liu Yaoben and his generals to calm down.
After a long period of jubilation, the soldiers slowly stopped cheering. Liu Yaoben patted the rider on the shoulder with a happy face and said with a smile, "Okay! What a time for you to come! Ha ha! Thank you for sending me this good news so quickly! Needless to say, I'll give you a reward later! No matter how hard you work! Go to meet the general and tell the general Yongning County to reassure him. As long as we are here, Wang Bacheng's soldiers will never cross the Luohe River, and there will be nothing in Yongning County!"
Chuanqi nodded and agreed, but then said to Liu Yaoben, "There is another good news. I haven't had time to tell the officer!"
"Oh? Any good news? That's the double happiness! Haha! Come on, there's another good news to make me happy!" Liu Yaoben smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth at this time, and his mouth showed his white teeth.
Chuanqi quickly said, "General Qi, just now, the team guarding the East Gate captured Zhu Cai, the king of Wan'an, and his two sons in the area of the East Gate. These guys were among the refugees. Last night, taking advantage of the lack of troops left in the city, they wanted to escape from the north of the city, but we were The patrol brothers found that Liu, who guarded the East Gate, immediately led his troops to rush over, killed several recalciting bodyguards, and took Zhu Cai and his two sons on the spot! Now he has been detained in the prison of the county government, and sent people to guard him closely."
Liu Yaoben's eyes widened again and immediately asked, "Is it true at this time?"
Chuanqi replied with an excited face, "It's absolutely impossible to fake it. Zhu Cai has already recognized it. You don't know the general!" As soon as the bear was caught, he was so scared that he couldn't get up with shit and urine lying on the ground! Hey hey!"
"Quick! Hurry up and report to the general at this time! Tell the brother who stayed in the city to show me that he can't let him run away! Hey hey! I didn't expect it! This man really stayed in the city and didn't run away. It really fell into our hands! Haha!" Liu Yao had no problem with staying in Yongning County this time. Xiao Tianjian led the main force to fight in the front, and he was not idle in the back. First, he defeated a valley, and then blocked Wang Shaoyu from smuggling the Luo River. Now he has actually caught the king of Wan'an, who has been hidden for many days. It can be said that they have taught the camp. I didn't make a lot of money. As for the front, it seems that there is nothing worth regretting now.
