Lin Chong clamped the horse's belly tightly and said loudly: "Li Zhong, this road can't be wrong, right?"
Li Zhong raised his head and looked ahead and said, "Don't worry, Coach Lin, I've walked this trail dozens of times, and I can't go wrong. This road is dozens of miles closer than the official road."
Chao Yong lay on the back of his horse, avoiding the cold wind in front of him, and shouted sideways: "Don't cherish your horse power, just hurry up. If you fall behind, follow the road to catch up."
Although the cold wind of the first month is biting, Chao Yong¡¯s heart is on fire now.
Chao Yong and others arrived a step late. The Taohuashan gangsters sneaked into Qingfeng Village, only to learn that Song Jiang and Hua Rong were captured by Huang Xin two days ago. On the way to Qingzhou for escort, they were robbed by Qingfeng Mountain troops. Qingfeng Village Liu Gao of Zhengzhi Village was also captured on the spot by Qingfeng Mountain troops. Huang Xin of Zhensan Mountain fled back to Qingfeng Village alone and asked for help from Qingzhou.
The minions sent to Qingfeng Mountain to investigate on the other side also sent back news. Qin Ming, the chief military officer of Qingzhou, led a thousand forbidden troops to attack Qingfeng Mountain last night. However, they fell into Song Jiang's plan. The thousand forbidden troops were almost completely wiped out. Qin Ming Also captured alive.
When Chao Yong heard that Qin Ming was captured alive, he immediately remembered that in the Water Margin, in order to force Qin Ming to rebel, Song Jiang had people pretend to be Qin Ming, and led Qingfeng Mountain soldiers and horses to pretend to go to Qingzhou to pick up his family. After being stopped outside the city by Qingzhou soldiers and horses, Chao Yong The fire burned the villages outside the city into white ground, killing and wounding countless people. In the end, the Qingzhou magistrate beheaded Qin Ming's wife, which also cut off Qin Ming's continued loyalty to the court.
Chao Yong led his men to gallop through the night in order to save the lives of the people in the villages outside the city.
While he was galloping, Chao Yong looked up and saw a fire in the distance ahead. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is the fire ahead approaching Qingzhou?"
Li Zhong looked around, calculated the distance, and said, "It should be Qingzhou."
"Drive, drive, drive"
When Chao Yong heard that Qingzhou was ahead, he couldn't help but became anxious and kicked the horse's belly hard, wishing he could fly to the place where the fire was.
?? Qingzhou is the administrative center of Jingdong East Road, and it is located in an important area. There are many traders coming and going, so it can be said to be very prosperous. Because the city gate opens and closes on time, many business travelers will miss Sutou. Those who are smart will open inns and taverns based on the city gate. Over time, a village with hundreds of households will be formed.
The once prosperous village was now being ravaged by more than a hundred bandits. Several inns near the city were set on fire, reflecting the red sky.
A strong man wearing a vermilion lacquer hat, a crimson robe, chain mail, and a mace stood in the light of the fire, directing the grass bandits to wreak havoc everywhere.
Jinmaohu Yanshun rode a horse and drove a common people to the city. He shouted: "Listen to the officers and soldiers in the city. If you don't send General Qin's family out for a cup of tea, we will kill one person until we finish killing this village." "People."
Qingzhou Magistrate Murong heard that Qin Ming led the Qingfeng Mountain grass bandits to attack the city. At this time, he had also reached the city wall. Using the fire of the inn outside the city, he could vaguely see Qin Ming's figure. He couldn't help but curse: "Rebel, the imperial court made you the commander-in-chief of soldiers and horses, and it has never failed you. Why did you collude with the grass bandits and kill the people?"
Yan Shun shouted: "You are a dog official, but you just sent a sister to sleep with the dog emperor, and then you became the prefect. He is usually corrupt as an official, how can General Qin be with you? Now he has done something with us, Grandpa is Jinmaohu Yanshun.¡±
As he spoke, he cut down the people on the horse to the ground with a knife, and cursed: "Guan Gu, if you say one more word, I will kill one person and send General Qin's family out quickly."
Magistrate Murong's sister was a noble concubine. When she heard that Yan Shun actually insulted the emperor and killed people indiscriminately, she couldn't help but said angrily: "You gang of rebels, don't even think about taking the city by fraud. I will report to the court tomorrow and send a large army to annihilate Qingfeng Mountain sooner or later. You will be cut into pieces when the time comes.¡±
"Qin Ming" who was standing in the firelight behind heard Magistrate Murong's refusal, and yelled at his followers to drive the people out of the city.
When hundreds of people saw the villagers lying in a pool of blood outside the city, they suddenly cried out in fear.
Dwarf Tiger Wang Ying saw a common man kneeling on the ground, refusing to move forward. He frowned and cut the common man in two with a knife, shouting: "Quickly, you will be safe if you run to the range of the archers on the city wall." If you don't want to leave, I'll kill him first."
When the people heard that there was still a way to survive, they all had the desire to survive and ran towards the city wall one by one.
Wang Ying, the short-legged tiger, looked at the breasts of a woman in front of him jumping up and down because of running. He couldn't help but become lustful. He chased after the woman and threw her to the ground, tearing off her clothes.
The woman struggled and cried, "No, please forgive me. Father, please come and save me."
The man running in front heard his woman crying, looked back, and immediately came back ready to fight. Before he could even take two steps, he wasOne of the minions was cut down with a single blow.
The village woman couldn¡¯t help but struggle desperately when she saw her man lying in a pool of blood.
"ah"
Wang Ying couldn't dodge, and was grabbed on the face by the village woman. She couldn't help but scream, got up, pulled out the sword, blocked the waist and cut the woman into two pieces.
"Kill"
Wang Ying only felt a few burning pains on his face. He touched it and saw that he was bleeding. He became ferocious and shouted, chasing after the people and killing them.
When Magistrate Murong saw the Qingfengshan grass bandits slaughtering people in the city, he couldn't help but get angry and shouted: "Catch all Qin Ming's family, old and young, and behead them on the city to show the public."
While Yan Shun was watching his minions driving away the people for fun, he suddenly heard a burst of rapid horse hooves coming from the west. It seemed that there were quite a few sounds. He had never heard of any village in the green forest having so many horse troops. He couldn't help but be shocked and said: "The wind is tight, retreat quickly."
After saying that, he hit his horse and fled to Qingfeng Mountain.
Qin Ming, who was in the distance, saw that the situation was not right, so he jumped on his horse and ran away.
Wang Ying had already rushed into the crowd of people. When he heard that something was wrong, he squeezed out and looked for his own horse.
Chao Yong and his people had just arrived. Seeing the village that had become a sea of ??fire and the many innocent people lying in a pool of blood, Chao Yong couldn't help but froze on his horse.
Just for Qin and Ming, Song Jiang killed so many innocent people.
Lin Chong saw Wang Ying, who was covered in blood, getting on his horse and trying to escape. He shouted angrily and stabbed Wang Ying with his gun.
Seeing how fiercely Lin was charging, Wang Ying hurriedly raised his spear to cover his frame, and at the same time shouted: "Looking at your clothes and armor, you are not officers and soldiers, wait a minute."
Although Lin Chong is a loser, he only cares about wealth and not life. He has never seen such a murderous strongman as Wang Ying. Just looking at his blood-stained clothes, he knows how many people he has killed. He didn't reply at the moment, he just stabbed Wang Ying quickly with one shot.
Wang Ying's martial arts skills were not as good as Lin Chong's, and seeing that no one of his own horses came to rescue him, he was already frightened. He could barely hold on for more than ten rounds, and then Lin Chong raised his gun and stabbed him under the horse.
