- Chapter 439 The Two Towers
There is at least one team of rebels guarding the gates of every city in Qiu'an County. This is already considered the hinterland of Shandong Road. The imperial army marching west is far away, and the left vanguard is also far away, so the city gates are still open, only for those passing by. All the people were subject to interrogation. All the people who could escape have already fled, and those who cannot escape are living in humble circumstances. Not many people went in and out of the city gates. Except for those who had to flee, no one wanted to go out in troubled times.
A big man like Qilin attracted the attention of the rebels as soon as he appeared at the city gate. What's more, he was followed by a hundred strong men, holding weapons in their hands and brazenly guarding a carriage. The rebels sitting on the deck chairs at the city gate immediately stood up and waved their hands. All his rebels gathered around, and the archers took out their arrows and put them on the bowstrings, ready to shoot.
After another day of observation, it was found that because there were too few people entering Qiu'an County, even if only a few dozen people entered the city in batches, it would arouse the ideas of the rebels. So Fang Jie changed his previous strategy and asked Qilin to lead a team of one hundred people to Qiu'an in a swaggering way.
"who!"
The rebel army was blocking the city gate with a few people, pressing the handle of the Hengdao with their hands and shouting questions.
Qilin, who was sitting on the war horse, looked at the team with contempt and didn't even bother to say anything. The soldier behind him took a step forward and shouted loudly: "My general has been ordered by General Yin to escort a woman to be presented to King Dingxi. You blind thing, why don't you get out of the way!"
"General?"
The rebels' expressions changed, and they subconsciously glanced at Qilin a few more times. The news of Yin Poshan's defeat has not yet come, but after all, it is a bit risky to enter the city so blatantly. Although Qilin was not afraid, he was still nervous. When he saw the team looking at him, his face changed and he said angrily: "Even if you don't know me, don't you know General Yin's flag?"
He pointed at the battle flag on the carriage and spoke sternly.
The rebel army actually believed it. After all, this was the rear area, and it was impossible for people from the Sui Dynasty to appear. The rebels didn't even dare to attack the heavily garrisoned county. Who would dare to travel so openly except the rebels themselves. The flag was indeed genuine, and Qilin and the others were also wearing the uniforms of the rebels.
The rebels' leather armor still uses the Sui's standard leather armor, but for the sake of distinction, the dark blue uniforms were changed to khaki. The main reason is that the cost of homespun cloth is low, and the yellow uniform is easy to identify.
"I also ask the general to show me my customs clearance diploma. Please forgive me for my humble duty."
The rebels were clasping their fists.
Qilin took off a token from his waist and gestured: "I am a general under the command of General Yin, and my name is on the list of King Dingxi's meritorious deeds. We came down from the battlefield, how could there be a local government survey and issuance?" Lu Yin? Are you going to let me show you the autographed letter that the general presented to King Dingxi?"
The rebel army was wondering: "I'm really sorry, I can't let you go without a road leading me."
Qilin looked up and saw that the rebels on the city wall were leaning down and looking down. Many of them were holding bows and arrows in their hands. They were at least a dozen steps away from the city gate, so it was not time to take action yet. If they are blocked and the rebels in the city gate close the door immediately, all their previous efforts will be wasted.
He was silent for a while, then took out a money bag from his arms and threw it over: "We are all brothers under King Dingxi, why should we embarrass our own people? I know it is your duty, but I am also following orders. In the carriage is the big brother. The general found a beautiful woman who was specially asked to escort her all the way to the King of Dingxi. The general ordered that if this woman gets into trouble, the heads on our brothers' shoulders will not be saved. We are just passing by. If you don't. Don¡¯t worry, find your general who is guarding the city, and I will tell him personally.¡±
The team was taking the money bag, and after weighing it, they knew it was very generous. Judging from the feel, the bag contained not copper coins but silver nuggets.
"This is not as good as this."
The rebel army smiled and said: "The general and your people will hand over the weapons and let our people keep them. When you leave the city, we will return them in full."
¡°Bold!¡±
Qilin¡¯s soldiers said angrily: ¡°Let¡¯s see who dares to disarm our weapons!¡±
Qilin's face turned cold: "You should know what handing over your weapons means to a soldier. Since you have fulfilled your duties, I don't want to embarrass you, so we will go around and not enter the city. However, when we meet King Dingxi , I will also tell you what happened today in front of King Dingxi, and I will do my best for you!"
The team was startled by these words and quickly apologized: "General, calm down, how about you rest right here at the gate of the city while I go ask my general for instructions?"
? "roll"
Qilin waved his hand, jumped off his horse and stood at the city gate with his hands behind his hands.
There are about forty or fifty rebels outside the city gate, and there are at least twenty more inside the city gate. If we are slow, the rebels in the gate will immediately work together to close the city gate. Therefore, the most suitable opportunity is to wait until you enter the door before taking action. Then firmly occupy the doorway and prevent the rebels from taking back the city gate.
"Wait!"
Qilin said to the rebels who had turned around and ran out: "My people can stay outside the door, but the girl in the carriage is so noble. Can the driver drive the carriage to the door to avoid the wind?"
The team hesitated and nodded: "That's no problem! However, other people can't come over. They can only let the coachman drive the car into the doorway, and they can't enter the city and can only stay in the doorway!"
Qilin nodded, the corners of his mouth rising slightly.
¡¡
¡¡
The driver drove the carriage slowly into the doorway. The rebels guarding the door were all staring at the carriage, as if they wanted to see through the carriage and see what the supposedly stunning woman inside looked like, so that Yin Poshan could send troops to escort her all the way to Dingxi. The king's woman must be stunningly beautiful.
A group of soldiers were eagerly waiting for the woman to get out of the car. Such a woman is destined not to be theirs, but everyone has a love for beauty, and even looking at her is pleasing to the eye. The rebel army was running into the city to ask for instructions from the general who was guarding the city. The soldiers subconsciously leaned toward the carriage, and some even sniffed hard, as if they wanted to smell the scent of the woman in the carriage.
Although they were looking forward to it, they also knew that the woman would definitely not get out of the car.
But at this moment, the carriage door creaked open from the inside, and the surrounding rebels immediately opened their eyes and stared at the door. They were expecting a pair of jade hands to open the curtain, and then a woman who would make people have erotic dreams for twenty years at a glance would come out.
They were looking forward to that kind of shock.
Although they already had fantasies about the woman's appearance, they were still frightened when she came out. The shock was beyond compare!
Because the one who came out was a man.
Not only is he a man, he is also a man who is two meters tall, has a majestic build, and has a beard. As soon as the man came out of the carriage, it was like a mountain suddenly appeared in front of the rebel soldiers.
Then the rough-looking man pursed his lips and smiled, and he asked the rebels: "Am I beautiful?"
When the rebels were stunned, a dozen or so cold lights flew out from his hand, and the dozen or so rebels surrounding him almost crouched down covering their eyes at the same time.
That¡¯s an embroidery needle.
That man is naturally Nie Xiaoju.
After he hurt someone with a flying needle, he turned around and pulled out a huge door-panel-like sword from the carriage, and cut in half the four or five rebels in front of him with one sweep. This tower-like man always surprises people. When anyone sees him for the first time, they will never think that such a majestic man actually loves embroidery, and his weapon is an embroidery needle. When people just got used to his embroidery needles, he showed another side.
The sword was too big. The blade was over 1.5 meters wide and nearly two feet wide. It looked like a knife, but it was clearly a door panel.
As soon as he made a move, Qilin immediately took off the copper stick from the winning hook of the horse beside him, slapped the three rebels blocking him out with one stick, and smashed the head of a rebel soldier open with another stick. Hua, he strode forward, and sent the copper stick forward and hit the chest of a rebel soldier. With a pop, the stick passed through the chest. Qilin swung the stick, and the copper stick with the corpse hanging on it knocked the two rebels down hard.
The elite of the Shanzi camp behind him immediately took action, drew out their horizontal swords and rushed forward. The rebels didn't react at all, and were cut down by twenty or thirty of them by the elite of the Shanzi Battalion in an instant.
The defenders on the city wall were startled, and someone immediately blew the horn. By the time the archers wanted to release their arrows, it was already too late. All the Shanzi camp soldiers had already followed Qilin into the doorway.
The shrill horn sounded, and the rebels in Qiu'an County were immediately startled.
Needless to say, even Qilin was frightened by Nie Xiaoju's machete. Although Nie Xiaoju was almost the same size as him, Qilin always looked awkward. After all, it is unacceptable for such a rough man to just sit and embroider quietly when he has nothing to do. But the way Nie Xiaoju was slashing with his sword now made Qilin even more uncomfortable with it.
That knife was too cruel and domineering.
With such a heavy sword, most people can¡¯t dance at all!
The blade swept across, easily chopped off the head, and sprayed outIn the bloody mist, Nie Xiaoju strode forward, removed half of a rebel soldier's body with one knife, and then split a rebel soldier into two pieces from the middle of his forehead with another knife. The blade cut in from the top of the head and came out from the crotch, and the bloody internal organs with a fishy smell suddenly fell to the ground.
Stepping on the enemy's internal organs, Nie Xiaoju strode forward.
"Guard the door!"
Qilin followed Nie Xiaoju and shouted loudly: "Before the general leads his troops to kill us, we can't take a step back even if we are all killed!"
"No!"
The hundred and ten men responded and swung their swords forward. The two dozen rebel soldiers in the doorway could not resist. They were all killed by Qilin and Nie Xiaoju without anyone taking action.
The two men walked to the other side of the doorway and stood there, then sealed the doorway.
Nie Xiaoju glanced at Qilin and raised the corners of her mouth in a provocative expression. Qilin snorted coldly and clenched the copper stick in his hand: "Don't think that if you replace your embroidery needle with a sword, you can kill more people than me!"
Nie Xiaoju didn¡¯t say anything, and she slashed the two rushing rebels in half with a sideways sweep of her sword.
Not to be outdone, Qilin danced with its copper stick like a windmill. The rebels who came over were swept up and their bones were smashed immediately. Two menacing figures are standing here, who can get closer?
As the horns continued to sound, the rebels in the city rushed here in large numbers. Archers in the distance began to fire arrows, and the soldiers of the Shanzi camp took out giant shields from their carriages and formed a row, protecting Nie Xiaoju and Qilin behind the shields. Not long after, the giant shield hand was covered with a layer of white feathers.
"Kill them!"
The rebel general guarding the city shouted angrily.
Hundreds of rebel soldiers screamed and rushed forward. After the arrows stopped, Qilin and Nie Xiaoju straightened up again, their sabers and copper clubs flying. Outside the shield array, there were stumps and broken arms. After the rebels died, another layer was added, and soon the pile of corpses in front of the two people was half a person high!
