473: Taking hostages (1 more)

Cheng Qing's eyes were so scary, as if Rong Jiu didn't go to kill the Long Scarf Thief, Cheng Qing would kill him first.

Rong Jiu was pushed to the place where the two armies were fighting and picked up the knife in his hand and slashed it. Cheng Qing didn't know how to do it, and rushed to the front line with a knife to die. When she was in the capital, she practiced bows and arrows for a while, and was sloppy and inaccurate at the time. Even if she couldn't shoot, she could interfere with the long scarf thief.

Sun An had outstanding archery skills. He aimed at the long scarf thieves and shot their faces without armor protection. Whenever the arrow was shot out, a thief screamed and fell off his horse.

Although there are many long scarf thieves, they are no more organized than Cheng Qing. With one stick of incense, Cheng Qing gradually gained the upper hand.

The long scarf thief began to be timid and became tempted to retreat, which affected other long scarf thies.

A long scarf thief riding a horse, his armor was shiny, his weapons were also good, and he was burly. He rode a horse and rushed into the soldiers in the guards. The long sword in his hand looked like the sickle of the god of death, taking away the lives of several soldiers in the guards.

"Kill this dog official, he is the top scholar in the dog court, and killing him to sacrifice the flag is a great achievement!"

The bandit boosted the morale of the long scarf thief, and the thief who were not dead fought back desperately.

The army of the long scarf thieves was promoted to a unique level. Whoever killed more officials and gentry would climb faster.

The higher the official level, the greater the credit!

Wherever the Long Scarf Thieves went, local officials were frightened. It is not easy to catch a high-ranking official and kill him. Cheng Qing, the "top scholar", was a great achievement for these long-scarf thieves. Most of these thieves could not distinguish between official positions and ranks. They only knew that the "top scholar" only produced every three years. If they could meet one, they would definitely catch it!

Cheng Qing was particularly eye-catching in his official uniform, and she became the target of all the long scarf thieves.

She tried to aim at the thief leader who was shouting. The other party had good riding skills, but Cheng Qing's three-legged cat's archery skills were not sure of shooting.

Whoosh-

Sun An let go, the arrow left the string and headed straight to the direction of the thief.

This arrow is not shooting people, but shooting horses!

The horse was shot in the neck and the thief fell off the horse. Li Baihu jumped to the side and cut off the thief's head with a knife!

Li Baihu had no companions behind him, so he was chopped by other long scarf thieves. Fortunately, Li Baihu was wearing a chain mail, and most of the knife force was removed by the chain mail, so others were not seriously injured.

Li Baihu picked the cut thief's head with the tip of his knife into the air, shouting "The thief's head is dead." As expected, the long scarf thief was in chaos, and the attacking queue began to collapse.

"grown ups?"

Sun An kept pulling his bow and shooting arrows, and his arms were sore. When he saw the scarf thief running away, he subconsciously sought Cheng Qing's instructions.

Cheng Qing was heartbroken: "Survey the thief with all his strength, and keep no one!"

If these long scarf thieves leave, the news of 20,000 stones of grain here will still leak. The next time they come to loot, there will be more than six or seven hundred thieves!

Li Baihu also felt that it was time to pursue.

Many soldiers in the garrison were killed and injured. The soldiers who died were Li Baihu's subordinates and his friends. Li Baihu was so angry that he was killed.

"Kill the enemy, make meritorious service, and take revenge!"

The garrison is not a border army. If you don’t know how to fight on weekdays, you will rarely have the chance to kill the enemy and make meritorious. The long scarf thief is a rebel, and killing the thief can make meritorious!

Only by killing all these thieves can we avenge the dead and injured soldiers, let the surviving soldiers make contributions, and eliminate future troubles.

This time, Sun An and Wu Er both rushed up, and only two servants from the Cheng family stayed to protect Cheng Qing.

At any time, the Cheng family members put Cheng Qing's safety first and they don't care about making meritorious contributions.

Rong Jiu fell to the ground like a pool of mud, and his three guards had fainted.

Cheng Qing didn't care about Rongjiu, but asked the Cheng family to carry Rongjiu's three guards to the carriage. He and two Cheng family members helped the injured to help the injured. After more than half an hour, Li Baihu and Wu Er and others returned. They snatched the long scarf thief's horse and stripped off the long scarf from the thief's waist to tie the head. There were the most heads behind Li Baihu, about twenty or thirty.

In addition to the thief's head, Li Baihu also captured several long scarf thieves as prisoners.

"Mr. Cheng, the situation is not very good."

From the captives' mouths, Li Baihu learned that these long scarf thieves were just a small group of wanderers, and the large army of the long scarf thieves was heading towards Huai'an City.

"They are going to attack Huai'an City?"

Cheng Qing was surprised.

The long scarf thief is too rampant.

Huai'an City is the location of the Governor's Office of the Governor of the Grain Transportation. The Great Wei had more than 100,000 grain troops, and Huai'an City was stationed in tens of thousands.

The existence of the Cao Army is to transport grain, not an elite combat force, but the Changshaw thieves also rushed into an army to capture Huai'an City?

"How many troops are there for the thief?"

"Sir Hui, the thief prisoners said there was a 50,000 army. I thought that the real force of the thief was only half!"

The captives Li Baihu captured were not important figures of the long scarf thief. The soldiers did not know the plan of the superiors. The battle between the two armies was inseparable from one blow, and it was difficult for half of the 50,000 thieves to have a fight.

Of course, the actual number of Cao army in Huai'an City is tens of thousands, and I'm afraid only Governor Shi knows that the Cao army guards are not under the jurisdiction of Qi's commander.

Every garrison has a vacant salary, and Li Baihu only hopes that the Caojun garrison in Huai'an City will not be too corrupt.

If Huaian City is lost, it will be of no benefit to everyone.

Li Baihu was scared to the point of thinking about the grain stored in Huai'an granary and the importance of Huai'an City to the canal. Now Huai'an City is only likely to be lost, so he was scared and sweated.

Cheng Qing thought more.

It is naturally good to defend Huaian City. The defeat of the Changwu Thief is beneficial to the overall situation. However, the defeated Changwu Thief must withdraw to the Huainan nest. When they fled, wouldn’t they just turn around and meet the grain transport team?

The 50,000-long scarf thief, not to mention half of his strength is bragging, even if it shrinks ten times, it will be 5,000.

Is it necessary to say who wins and who loses?

When Rong Jiuyi heard that the 50,000 Long Scarf Thiefs had gone to attack Huai'an City, he struggled to get up from the ground and wanted to return to Huai'an City to report the news.

Cheng Qing asked Wu Er to hold him down:

"You made this mess and still want to run away? Wu Er, tie him up and take it into the city!"

Rong Jiu cursed, and Wu Er blocked Rong Jiu's mouth with a piece of rag.

Rong Jiu was actually very anxious. In Huai'an City, there were his sister Rong Yuniang, three nephews and one niece, and his brother-in-law... But his mouth was blocked and the person was tied into rice dumplings. He couldn't even accept his favor with Cheng Qing.

Cheng Qing refused to let Rong Jiu go back, but she would not watch Huai'an City be broken by the long scarf thief. She asked Wu Er to flip Rong Jiu and pulled out an exquisite jade pendant with the word "Rong" engraved on it. It should be used as an identity certificate and throw the jade pendant to Sun An, and asked Sun An to send two guards from Maoguo Duke's Mansion back to Huai'an City to report the news.

"You must take the token to the Governor's Office. If you can't see the Governor, you must at least see Rongjiu's sister."

Cheng Qing's move was not only a quick horse to report to Huai'an City, but also a request for help.
