Chapter 248 The Road to Home (6)

Chapter 248 The Way Home ([-])

On July [-]th of the ninth year of Jinghan, at the junction of Huzhou and Hangzhou, after noon, the sky filled with dark clouds seemed to cover the world into an afternoon, and thunderstorms gathered.In the camp, thousands of remnants of the Wude camp began to gather towards the open space.

Anxiety permeated the crowd. On the main tent side, the high-ranking generals and gentry of the fleeing team were now able to participate in the fierce quarrel in this gloomy atmosphere. Get stopped by those around you.

Not only here, the news that Lu Sheath's army found the direction where everyone was avoiding, and was running towards this direction, has gradually spread to the army.The common people also heard a little bit about it at this time, but the riot did not start for a while, because if the matter is true, everyone can't even make a reckless decision now. In the future, there will be rivers and lakes that are about to rain. In the past, he threw himself into a trap, and no one knew where to escape.

Some people are confirming whether the matter is true or not, and some people are looking for people they know and asking for countermeasures.The main tent received the most attention from various people.Tang Xiuxuan, Qian Haiping, Chen Xingdu, the sickly young scholar Ning Liheng, and even more people who used to have talents and official names in Hangzhou were all closely watched by everyone.

Occasionally, Ning Yi would simply talk to some people. The one who talked the most was probably Tang Xiuxuan over there. As one of the Patriarchs of the Four Families, this old man still has the highest status and the most connections.The Wu Dynasty has been emphasizing civility over military affairs for many years, even Chen Xingdu can't neglect the real gentry at this time.Tang Xiuxuan talked with Ning Yi for a long time, and at a certain moment, he finally frowned, took a deep look at Ning Yi, and nodded.

"Duke Xiwen thought highly of you when he was in Hangzhou... Now that things have happened, I have no choice but to listen to you. Go, take care of yourself."

When he said this, a general was about to rush towards Ning Yi angrily, and then he was separated by someone. Tang Xiuxuan took a look, shook his head, and turned away with a cane. The general was dragged away while cursing. , Ning Yi didn't look at him, and was supported by Su Tan'er and walked to the other side. Although he was very tired, there were still some things to do.

During such a time, the team led by Yao Yi was heading towards the south side where they were without stopping, and further north, the Black Lingwei turned around and rushed towards this side at a high speed.Under the sky, on the northeast side of the big battlefield, across the direction of the river, a woman named Liu Qianqian, nicknamed Liu Xigua, is leading a team of battalions towards the north of Shiqiaodu. In a hurry, I just waited for Lu Xie and others to defeat the fleeing team somewhere in the north, and then went to receive the military division she was looking for.

When Ning Yi resisted his dizziness and went to the open space where the soldiers of Wude Camp gathered, there were several uproars in the distance, and Chen Xing was talking vaguely, and the whole situation he was about to face, Tell the soldiers present in detail.

It was a piece of grass, and it looked like a small school field at this moment, with a simple platform in front of it.The wind was not strong. When Ning Yi went up from the side, half of the people looked at him, but Su Tan'er didn't follow. In such a place, she is not suitable to go up and help.Not only Chen Xingdu on the stage, but also Tang Xiuxuan, Qian Haiping, and some Hangzhou officials and gentry, looked at Ning Yi, who was a little weak at this time, somewhat resentful, but they didn't show much, but some stared at him. Looking at him, some turned their heads.

On the big stage, there was a simple curtain at this moment, marking the positions of the people and the five groups of enemies they were facing.

"...Brothers! We have no way out, people are going to kill us! We can only go forward! We have 3000 people, they only have a thousand, and they are all scattered, there is no time to rescue... They are underestimating the enemy now, we This is the only way to have such an opportunity. If we let them wake up, we will not have any chance... In the past few days, we have tried our best to distance them. The road can be pointed out by others, but we have to earn it ourselves. If there are bloody ones, pick up the knife for me and kill a bloody path—”

Chen Xingdu himself is also skilled in martial arts. He spoke loudly at this time, and the audience could hear him, but he was not an articulate person, and he basically repeated Ning Yi's words.After he finished speaking, Ning Yi walked over, handed a large stack of volumes to Tang Xiuxuan, and then went to Chen Xingdu: "I don't have much strength, can General Chen help me spread the word?"

Chen Xing nodded.Ning Yi glanced at the large black mass of more than [-] people, and spoke in a low voice and slowly: "Turning back halfway, and dying, it was me——Ning Liheng deliberately set up a scheme, and you were all calculated by me. .But we have no other way but to die and survive.”

Chen Xingdu was stunned for a while, and then he opened his mouth and relayed his words loudly. Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound in the army, and Ning Yi waited for a moment.

"There is no way out, and there are chasing soldiers behind. A team of nearly [-] people can't cover up the traces of marching. In this area of ​​Hangzhou, no matter how we go, we will only have a dead end after a long time. In front of us, there are nearly Six thousand enemies, but in the Battle of Hangzhou, the bandits' team has begun to underestimate the enemy. Yesterday when Shiqiao crossed back, we fooled them so easily, which is a clear proof. We still have the only chance of winning, that is, we are The Wude camp...is the elite of the army."

Ning Yi looked at them, but in fact such flattery had no effect.

"In the Battle of Hangzhou, due to the weather, we lost a battle, and we were a little baffled by the defeat. There are still 3000 people walking here today. I don't know if everyone has started to be afraid. But the people on Fang La, They already feel that we are local chickens and dogs. They sent five armies, each of which has only more than 1000 people. They didn't think about our things. Like everyone else, they felt that they didn't need to think about it, but we still have 3000 people, and there are nearly a thousand of those guards and bodyguards over there. The current situation has been drawn in In the picture below, more than 1000 of them came aggressively, and more than 4000 of us just wanted to escape, one thousand of them, four thousand of us."

"I don't know much about fighting. I don't know if we can win or not. But now, everyone is clear about our situation. It is different from before. This time, each of you is clear about it. We have to You know exactly how to fight. I can only help you with other things."

He waved his hand, and someone brought some large and small boxes up.

"Since yesterday, we have recorded the names and places of origin of all the brothers. Those who are here today are headed by Mr. Tang. I have handed over all the volumes to him just now. In the current team, everyone is on the same boat. , If you can go back to Huzhou, look at this stage, look over there, everyone owes you a favor, and each of you can get promoted and make a fortune."

Those boxes were opened, and the light of gold and silver flashed out.

"The people here are not ungrateful people. Everyone guards Hangzhou. I know that many of you have relatives and brothers who are also in Hangzhou. Some of them are also in this team, and some have passed away in Hangzhou, or Can't get out...Fang La killed them and burned everyone's house...There are also women..."

Ning Yi paused, and then pointed to the curtain behind: "They are different from the group of elites who attacked Hangzhou at the beginning. They are some farmers, and they are not even equipped with knives and guns! They are fighting with us with rakes and sticks in their hands. Now, more than 1000 of them have come over aggressively! We can think about how to escape, now take off our clothes and jump into the river, and swim over here! Or we can go over and trample them to death now! You have seen it now , all five of their armies have been dispersed. We eat Lu Xie's army and Yao Yi's army. The rest will not be able to keep up. It's raining, it's God helping us... how to fight this battle, and whether it is possible to win, you can think for yourself!"

"If you win the battle, you can avenge your relatives and brothers who died in Hangzhou! You can share the gold and silver! You can go to Huzhou and get promoted! You are the only army that won the battle in Hangzhou! Every one of you Your name is clearly recorded in the volume in Tang Lao’s hand. When the volume arrives in Huzhou, none of you will be left behind. Even if you can’t go back, your family will get what they deserve The living people will take care of your family members as if they were close relatives!"

Tang Lao nodded: "I can take responsibility for this matter, and the world can learn from it." Someone spread his words.

Ning Yi smiled: "If you are not victorious, then there is nothing left. Brothers, my lady is now pregnant, and she is standing behind. If I can lose like this, everyone will die here. Silver will be taken away by them. If you can’t survive, you were destroyed by them in Hangzhou, your home was destroyed, and your closest relatives were killed. Those revenges will never be possible again. At this time, let’s move forward , then survive, and have everything, after this time, everyone will not be able to avenge, and there will be a dead end... They are a group of rioters who don't even have weapons. Man, will everyone lose? Lose everything to them?"

"Do you want to get something back?"

After he finished speaking, the whole scene was suffocated. Under the dark clouds, everyone looked at the big curtain and was stunned for a long time. Someone finally said: "You can take revenge..."

"How could you lose—"

"Stamp them to death—"

The sound waves gradually began to gather, and at this moment, someone rushed out: "Don't listen to him, he deceived the public with his evil words, he is the one who trapped us here!" That was the general who had troubled Ning Yi before .This person's surname is Xia, and his name is Xia Qi. Ning Yi killed a troublemaker who blocked people from getting water in the early morning of the ninth day. He is his cousin. In the past few days, he has sang against Ning Yi several times , he ran out at this time, causing the emotions of the soldiers to stagnate suddenly, and Xia Qi immediately began to say that the plan was made by Ning Yi alone.

Everyone on the stage was also stunned. Chen Xingdu was still happy when he saw that the general's emotions had been mobilized. At this time, he pointed at that person: "Xia Qi! For the personal grievances between your cousin and Mr. Ning, Haven't you been making trouble unreasonably these past few days! How dare you cholera the army at this moment!"

The team of [-] people can be said to be big or small, and some of the sergeants also understood that Ning Yi and Xia Qi's cousin formed a relationship that day.Xia Tian raised his head and said: "General Chen, what I said is the truth, if it wasn't for Ning Liheng..."

Before he finished speaking, Ning Yi on the stage had already walked a few steps to the side, grabbed the crossbow of a soldier next to him going north, tightened the string forcefully, and pointed directly at Xia Qi.Xia Qi was stunned for a moment, then she held her hands together: "How dare you—"

The next moment, with a bang, the blood shot out, and the crossbow shot directly on his forehead.The man opened his eyes and fell to the ground with his arms outstretched. Ning Yi grabbed the spear in the hand of a soldier next to him with his other hand and tried to stand still: "Wait a long way! Mother-in-law! ! You are not a man!"

He was already in a weak state, but now he used brute force. The voice was heard by the audience. For a moment, not only the soldiers below, but also Tang Xiuxuan and others on the stage looked at him in astonishment. The normally sick scholar was terrified.They also heard the rumors that Ning Yi had fought against Shi Bao and others, but they hadn't seen it on weekdays. Only now did they see him killing people so simply.

"There are only two roads! Go forward! Go backward! After you have chosen, go there and save your life! Anyone who has a personal enmity with me! Find me afterwards! Kill me! I will accompany you! But at this time, you must destroy the morale of the army. Yes, they are everyone's mortal enemies! You can choose whether to listen to them or not!"

After Ning Yi finished speaking, his hands and body shook violently, but he still stood there.There were originally some people under Xia Qi's subordinates, but after the initial astonishment, someone suddenly shouted: "How dare you commit an attack in public, brothers..." Before he finished shouting, he suddenly heard a "ping", and someone behind him Suddenly he drew his knife and slashed at him, the man was also alert, blocked the knife, stepped back a few steps, only to hear the man who made the attack shout: "Who the hell is your brother!" This man has always had a quarrel with him one person.

Another person in the crowd pulled out a knife and pointed it this way: "This person is uneasy and kind!"

"Kill him!"

Someone yelled again.The man took a few steps back with the knife, and the shouts over there have been one after another. Many people were reddened by the blood just now. It is useless to find Ning Yi to trouble at this time, and everyone can think of it at this time.Amid the shouts, the man was slashed between the waist and ribs by the people around him, and blood spurted out. He opened his eyes in astonishment and swung the knife around. He stabbed it in the stomach: "I killed you bastard——"

After one knife, there was another knife, and the surrounding soldiers formed a circle. The light of the knife slashed at the man, and the blood flew everywhere, until someone slashed the man's head with a knife, and the surrounding ground was covered with blood. dyed red.At first, the big man raised the steel knife in his hand and pointed to the north: "Brothers, kill those bastards! Revenge——"

"Kill them."

"Kill those peasants—"

"I want revenge!"

In a moment, almost everyone's eyes were reddened by the killing, the swords were like fire, and the sound began to boil. At this time, the army may not be well commanded, but the bloodiness of people in desperate situations has finally been suppressed. Excited.

Ning Yi stood there with a long spear, watching all this, he blinked, and then, the surrounding darkness surrounded him.His body was cold, and his vision began to tilt. He took a breath, and vaguely heard someone shouting: "Mr. Ning——"

"Young Master Ning..."

Consciousness away from...

********************

Half a quarter of an hour later, under the gloomy sky, on the slope of a hill less than two miles away to the north, the soldiers led by Lu Xie took their target into view, and moved towards the place like a pack of wolves. There rushed away, and the two sides quickly entered the distance that the arrows could reach.There were not many arrows flying over here, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

Lu Xie was still wondering why the two sides received troops so quickly. Thousands of soldiers from the Wude Battalion over there, their eyes red, brandishing knives and guns, were submerged like a sea tide, and their shouts were loud.

Rushing to the front, a soldier under Lu Sheath's command slightly sensed that something was wrong, and stopped almost subconsciously. He was pushed to the ground by his comrades behind and stepped on it, and then more people in front subconsciously slowed down or stop.This development is not the same as they originally imagined, nor is it the same as the similar things they experienced in the previous few days.

The astonishment of the thousands of people did not last for too long. After a while, they were flattened by the simple charge in front of them without any rules and only relying on blood. The fury of thousands of people swept across the several miles long front. , heading north.

There was no fierce battle, no rules, no more chasing and intercepting. After the attack, the red carpet was rolled out, and the ground was full of corpses...
