Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty-Six: Mismatch
The troops sent by Cui Ju to sneak attack Yuzhang arrived as scheduled, and the troops were divided into three groups. Five thousand people from Tanzhou on the west side were led by Cui Ke'an, five thousand people from Chaisangkou on the north side were led by Cui Keding, and ten thousand people from Jizhou on the south side were led by Cui Keshuang.
Three armies besieged Yuzhang. When they arrived at Yuzhang that night, there were only one or two thousand people in each route, and the large group of people and baggage were all behind.
Although there were few people who could reach the city of Yuzhang, the information provided by Zhongyitang showed that the Navy in the south of Yuzhang City might be less than 1,000, and the people in the city were in charge. Cui Ju's three nephews rushed to make contributions.
Originally, these three were more distant than the relationship between Cui Kewen and Cui Ju, but the two Cui family men in the north were all defeated, giving these three a feeling that whoever could win a battle would have more advantages in the future struggle for the throne.
By the way, Cui Ju thought so in his heart. Anyway, he had no son, so the throne would definitely be passed on to the most powerful junior of the Cui family in the future.
Cui Kewen and Cui Keyuan did not return to Xiangyang directly, but followed Cui Ju's deployment and went east along the riverside.
According to Zhou Dapeng's previous professor, the South China Sea Army, who were guarding the city gate, put a big jar on the ground to listen to the movements outside the city.
The torches in the city were clear, and almost all the people in the city ran out, carrying kitchen knives and sticks and followed the government office. Cai Guishan and the dead soldiers observed all this on the roof.
Cai Guishan was sweating coldly. There were tens of thousands of people. If he really attacked the government office, Li Xiaofei and the others would probably be trampled to death.
But Li Xiaofei asked them to perform their own duties, so Cai Guishan had to steal jewelry, headdresses and jade pendants from various women as Li Xiaofei told him before he set off.
Cai Guishan tiptoed around the west wing of Wen's house. It was dark and it was inevitable that he could touch the sleeping female family members. Some suddenly woke up, and Cai Guishan quickly got into the bed and learned to call from the mouse.
Cai Guishan put jewelry, headdress and jade pendant into his pocket, and sniffed the fragrance gently. He thought it was a pity. He wanted to steal the most but didn't. He didn't know why Li Xiaofei stole these things. Is it because he was short of money?
Outside the west gate, the sound of horse hooves ten miles away was first heard through the big tank, and soon many Kongming lanterns rose from the north gate. Thousands of people rushed directly outside the south gate to raid the city gate.
He was attacked from three sides, no, all sides! Fan Huaizhong in the city saw Kong Minglan coming, and shouted to the crowd outside the government office, "Look at the sky, this is Lord Cui's signal. Our reinforcements have arrived, let's take action!"
Several Fan Huaizhong's subordinates took the lead in smashing the door, and the door opened with a creak.
Wen Tai'an and Wen Qianwan walked out of it, "What are you doing! What are you doing! Say something well!"
Fan Huaizhong was shocked, "Mr. Wen, you all came out alive, it's time to take revenge!"
Wen Qianwan kicked Fan Huaizhong, "Our family has been caught by them! What else can you take revenge? Revenge for the family extermination?"
The crowd immediately boiled, "They killed us! Fight with them!"
"Fight! These bandits will destroy my whole family!"
"Avenge your family!"
The crowd yelled, and many people only heard the four words "Grievance of the Family" behind, and it turned out to be broken. The Wen brothers couldn't stop him, and the crowd rushed to the government office like crazy.
Fortunately, Hua Xiaoan quickly closed the door when he saw that the situation was not good. The soldiers who were prepared behind him had lifted several big rocks from the rockery in the yard and put them behind the door, blocking the door.
The Wen brothers hysterically blocked him, but they were useless, and were squeezed out by the crowd.
The incited crowd saw that the door could not enter, so they smashed it open.
He grabbed a ladder near the door of the shop, removed the door panel and put it on the fence of the government office, and climbed over the wall.
There were dozens of people jumping into the yard soon. Li Xiaofei's personal soldiers were about to take action, but Li Xiaofei stopped him.
Hua Xiaoan was very anxious. There were hostages in his hands, but now the hostages were gone. Even if they were killed by one, they would be useless if the sword was cut off.
Li Xiaofei was very calm, he knew that someone would come out to stop him.
In the afternoon, he asked Yuan Xin to take Wang Ruoyun to the side room next to the government office, and Wang Ruoyun saw everything that happened outside.
Why did Wang Ruoyun, who had always been irritated, never speak out? Because Yuan Xin drank her half-dumb soup and had to take the antidote before he could speak.
Now the time has come, Yuan Xin put antidote to Wang Ruoyun, and the five personal soldiers guarding the house also opened the door and signaled her to go out.
Wang Ruoyun stood up and slapped Yuan Xin, "You pharmacist who harms people!"
Yuan Xin covered his face and complained, "You have such a big temper, how can you get married in the future?"
Wang Ruoyun still wanted to hit Yuan Xin, but the soldiers all started to cough. Wang Ruoyun put down his hand, "I'll settle the score for you later."
Wang Ruoyun was a little thirsty, so he picked up the teapot on the table and took a big sip, then ran out.
Wang Ruoyun suddenly appeared, and someone in the crowd shouted, "Look, they even tied up Miss Wang to insult! They are robbers!"
"Let your whole family shit! Who dares to tie me up? Who dares to insult me? You all open your eyes and see! This girl is here for a while!"
"Miss Wang, don't be threatened by thieves! We are here to save you!"
Wang Ruoyun went straight to pull out Li Xiaofei's sword. Hua Xiaoan was about to take action. Li Xiaofei winked at him, and Hua Xiaoan took back his extended foot.
Wang Ruoyun pulled out Li Xiaofei's sword and drew a circle in the air. He suddenly turned his hand and put the sword on Li Xiaofei's neck.
Hua Xiaoan stomped his feet in a hurry, but Li Xiaofei laughed loudly, "Miss Wang's swordsmanship is beautiful!"
Wang Ruoyun then moved his sword away to face the stunned crowd. "I am free to come and go wherever I want! If you want to cut down, cut whoever you want! If you don't tell anyone who spread rumors and destroy my innocence today, don't even think of leaving! I'm going to cut her tongue!"
Just now, I was frantically furious and furious in the crowd who were not afraid of swords, bows and crossbows of Li Xiaofei, and suddenly became silent because Li Xiaofei and the others seemed to dare not attack the people. The girl Wang in front of me was the master who beat people for three days and half a month in Yuzhang City. She really came!
Wang Ruoyun pointed back and forth in front of the crowd with his sword, "Did you say it? Are you? Tell me, who spread rumors and trouble? Do you say it or not!"
The crowd retreated and waved his hands, "It's not me! It's not me! It's not me! I didn't say anything! It's not what we said!"
"Get out of here! No! Climb out! Climb out! Get out!"
Wang Ruoyun made a chopping action, and the crowd wanted to climb the wall, but it couldn't reach it. Li Xiaofei pointed to the bottom of the wall, "Hua Xiaoan, ladder! Ladder! Let's give people a ladder to get a step!"
Everyone smiled at Li Xiaofei embarrassedly, and Li Xiaofei waved his hand, "It's all gone when I go out! Don't believe the rumors! Everyone goes back to their houses to sleep!"
Hua Xiaoan and a few personal soldiers quickly brought the ladder, and the crowd quickly climbed out along the ladder.
When the people outside heard something was wrong inside, they stopped climbing up the wall. Fan Huaizhong led a few people to sneak away in the dark.
Wang Ruoyun wanted to continue scolding these people, but suddenly she felt her face was hot, her throat was dry, and her whole body was a little hot.
Yuan Xin, who was in the room, also drank the tea from the teapot and ran out at this time.
Wang Ruoyun turned around and saw Yuan Xin, stabbed him with a sword, but fortunately Li Xiaofei rushed over.
Come on, use the armor on your body to block the sword.
"You are so despicable! You actually drugged me!"
After Wang Ruoyun said that, his body was panting and weakened. Li Xiaofei quickly supported him, but fortunately the crowd had all gone out.
Li Xiaofei looked at Yuan Xin, "What do you want to do? Are you afraid that these troublemakers will have no excuses? Hurry up and give me the antidote!"
Yuan Xin's face also began to turn red and fell on Li Xiaofei at once.
Li Xiaofei held a woman and leaned against a handsome man. Hua Xiaoan turned around and said, "Oh, Lord Li, it turns out that he is good! Let's avoid it quickly! Avoid!"
Li Xiaofei lowered his voice and drank, "What are you talking nonsense? Help them to the wing room to rest! Please invite several other medical officers to see what's going on?"
Hua Xiaoan hurriedly came to help Li Xiaofei, and called a maid to help Wang Ruoyun. Just as he was about to reach the side room, he heard a noise outside again.
Li Xiaofei also felt a little soft and asked Hua Xiaoan to take people to deal with it. He and his maids entered the wing room.
Hua Xiaoan led more than a dozen personal soldiers to the government office gate, and only saw fires outside soaring into the sky and thick smoke.
Before the ladder had been removed, Hua Xiaoan pointed left and right, and his personal soldiers climbed up the wall under his leadership. Fan Huaizhong brought dozens of people to transport firewood to set fire around the government office.
Hua Xiaoan was not willing to let these people succeed, so he jumped off the city wall with thirteen personal soldiers, slashed the sword, and even dozens of people, including Fan Huaizhong, could not escape.
But the fire that was ignited could not be extinguished. The houses opposite the government office were burned brightly, illuminating the surrounding areas of the government office.
When Hua Xiaoan and his friends returned to the yard to report to Li Xiaofei, they heard strange movements and laughter in the wing room. Hua Xiaoan and his personal soldiers quietly retreated.
That night, the Wen brothers returned home and found that the women were not kidnapped by the South China Sea Army, but all the jewelry and headdresses and jade pendants were gone. They were shocked.
Wen Qianwan was still unwilling to give up and wanted to summon everyone to besiege the government office, but Wen Tai'an advised him to stop.
Wen Qianwan grinned and said, "We can't accept it anymore. We have increased taxes in their name to kill people, and incite people to besiege the government office. If Cui Ju's army cannot come in, Li Xiaofei will definitely deal with us! Then we will die without a burial place!"
There is no way out, so I can only take risks, but it is not easy to organize people again. Wang Ruoyun cursed and everyone had already disbanded.
What's more, when there are many people, I think that there are many people and others to die. Now it's time to fight to the death, it's all about your wife and children, and who is willing to do something that loses your head?
At this moment, there was a sound of fighting at the west gate where Wen's family lived. The Wen brothers decided to take a gamble and take the servants of the whole mansion to attack the city gate, hoping to get a match between inside and outside.
Cai Guishan, who continued to monitor them, was already impatient. Seeing these people rushing towards the city gate with their torches and weapons, Cai Guishan jumped off the roof of the street with the dead soldiers.
The Wen brothers were first killed by the air. Except for a few people who resisted and were killed, the rest fled in scattered.
There is no suspense about the war outside the north gate of the west gate.
The three brothers of the Cui family saw a fire outside the city. They thought that the internal response was successful, so they ordered soldiers from afar to attack the city gate.
The South China Navy was waiting for their hard work and caught them off guard. Thirty percent of the thousands of people who came to attack the city that night died in battle, 30% ran away, and the remaining 30% retreated fifty miles to get out of the camp to wait for the subsequent army.
After repelling Cui Ju's three armies, the commanders of each battalion sent people back to the government office to ask for instructions, but Li Xiaofei still did not come out of the wing room.
Hua Xiaoan looked at the fire outside and gritted his teeth, "Let the battalions put out the fire first! I will put this order on behalf of Lord Li! If Lord Li blames me, I will bear the blame alone!"
The rooster crowed three times, the fire was turned off, the medicine woke up, and Wang Ruoyun shouted, "Give me my innocence! Beast!"
