Chapter 87 [Take chestnuts from fire]

"Ah—" A scream cut through the night sky, and the souls of the dead were all exposed by the strong light, and they fell down the city wall.

Zhao Lie moved the flashlight upwards and found that there was a person tied to the rope. The man was shined by a strong light and instinctively raised his hand to cover his eyes. In frightened, he was at a loss, but he also failed - "Ah!"

The strong light moved upwards, and a man jumped on the front of the city to take the rope down. When the light column shone, his hands and feet were soft, and he exclaimed and fell down.

In the dark night, the pillar of light was like a sword, and Zhao Lie was like a Jedi warrior holding a lightsaber. With just one sweep, he drew three enemies. The frightened bird was nothing more than that.

The enemy was shocked, and Zhao Lie was even more shocked - I said, why did you remove the city defense? The torches on the city were extinguished. It turned out that the opponent and we thought about going together.

The Yuan soldiers also had to attack at night, but chose the same section of the city wall and the same line. The enemy and us unexpectedly encountered each other at the top of the city.

One after another, the screams alarmed the entire Yuan soldiers near the South Gate. Fires suddenly appeared in the dark night, and the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded everywhere. Some were still unable to figure out the direction, running around like headless flies, while others were running towards this place.

"Damn it, it's not good to go out!" Zhao Lie didn't care about hiding his body, and put the special bamboo whistle into his mouth, ready to blew the retreat. Since the enemy has already alarmed, even if the action was ruined tonight, he would have to retreat no matter how unwilling he was. Fortunately, the action team did not go deeper, and it was time to retreat at this time.

But at this moment, a scream changed Zhao Lie's mind and the entire battle situation.

"Qianhu! Ma Qianhu! Are you okay?" The cry came from the city, and the voice was anxious.

A few hums came from the base of the city wall, and a voice that endured the pain said: "I have nothing to do, just keep silent!"

Thousand households? Thousand households!

Zhao Lie has clearly understood the situation of the Yuan army commander of Jiyang Army City in the past few days. The military city originally had two thousand households, namely the thousand households of the Han army and the thousand households of the new affiliated army, and two Daluhuachi each above. After Ma Chengwang entered the city, another thousand households in the military city: Ma Yinglin, the official in the thousand households in Qiongzhou.

Ma Yinglin was Ma Chengwang's second son. He once followed his brother Ma Fuji to suppress the rebellion between Sanba pirates and Li Liao. After surrendering to the Yuan Dynasty with his father, he was named thousands of households. This time, Ma Chengwang was ordered to join the Liaos in Lidong, and Ma Yinglin led 200 guards to accompany him to guard.

When Ma Chengwang heard that there was a policeman in Jiyang Military City, he led his troops to break into the military city and took over the command. His son Ma Yinglin played a significant role in it.

In summary, there is only one Qianhu surnamed Ma in Jiyang Army City - Ma Yinglin.

Zhao Lie released the rope and jumped off. The flashlight beam locked the person lying on the ground. The man's eyes were hard to open, and he subconsciously opened his palm to block the light source. Despite this, it was enough for Zhao Lie to see the person's face: 27 or 28 years old, slightly dark, narrow and long-shaped face, slightly bearded under his chin, wearing a gray coat, carrying a long sword.

Zhao Lie stepped on the man's injured ankle. As the other party's hissing and yelled, the dagger raised the man's waist card. It was indeed a silver-plated thousand-household card. The front was yangtubasi eight-lane, the Uighur language and the Chinese characters "The Thousand Houses of the Official Army" were engraved with several surnames on the lower corner of the back, all of which were the first masters of the silver medal, and the last one was "Ma".

When Zhao Lie looked at the sign carefully, the man reluctantly held the hilt of the sword in his back hand, but before he could do the next move, a cold light flashed and his wrist was penetrated by a dagger.

Amid the sky-high screams, Zhao Lie's voice was heard in his ears: "Second Young Master, I'm lucky to meet you."

...

When the Jiyang Juncheng was guarding the palace, Ma Chengwang felt palpitations for no reason. He put down his tea arms, stood up from the chair, and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

The old servant who served said panic: "Sir, your wound..."

"Nothing happened." Ma Chengwang pressed his shoulders that were bandaged with thick white cloth and waved his hand.

This former governor of Qinzhou of the Song Dynasty, governor of Qiongzhou Prefecture, and the current deputy of Wanhu Prefecture of Zhongwanhu Prefecture of Qiongzhou in the Yuan Dynasty, was only about fifty years old, with slightly frosty hair and elegant appearance. He was not tall or strong, which is not surprising. Although he valued Pingnan's military achievements as the Song and Yuan dynasties, he was a real Jinshi.

However, no matter how much you read the sages, it is useless. In the face of the separation of wealth and the five horses, he instinctively chose the former, and then followed Ali Hague to cross the sea to attack Qiong. In the battle to pacify Qiongzhou, Ma Chengwang persuaded Zhao and Luo to surrender, but he made a plan to incite his troops to rebel, and enforce Zhao and Luo, and Qiongzhou was defeated. It can be said that he made great contributions in this battle.

A few days ago, Ali Hague revealed to him through Long Wenying that the court intends to set up the Qiongzhou Road Pacification Department, and he is expected to serve as the Pacification Envoy, and there is only one opportunity left at the moment.

So Ma Chengwang did not avoid difficulties and went deep into Lidong, persuaded the Eight-Ban barbarians to gather in Qiongguan and cross the sea to meet Ali Hague. As soon as the matter was in sight, he heard that the remaining troops of Xingchao were besieging Jiyang Army. At that moment, Ma Chengwang realized that the opportunity had come. As long as he dragged the remaining troops of Xingchao to the city of Jiyang Army, the Wanhu Mansion of Qiongzhou would definitely send troops to encircle. At that time, the inside and outside should cooperate and annihilate the remaining troops of Xingchao at the city. Such great achievements would be, not to mention a mere Qiongzhou Road Pacifier, even the Xuanfu Envoy of Liangjiang Road, Guangxi, would be possible.

The world is about to be determined, and there are not many opportunities for him to make contributions, so he must seize it.

The attack from the city tonight was proposed by his son Ma Yinglin, and the father and son decided after some deduction. There has always been no such thing as defending the city. Looking for all opportunities to attack or attack can not only increase the morale of their own army, but also disrupt the enemy and attack the morale of the enemy. It can be said that it will kill two birds with one stone.

Like Zhao Lie, the Ma family and his son also chose to attack on the Sunri, and the route was also chosen at the South Gate, which is similar to the ones.

My son personally led thirty elites to attack. Ma Chengwang was still able to calm down and drink tea at the beginning, but after a moment, he became irritated for no reason. He had just gotten up and walked back and forth a few times, and suddenly heard the noise coming from afar. He listened carefully and said, it was the direction of the south city.

Ma Chengwang's heart thrilled and shouted outside the official hall: "What's the noise? Go and check it out."

The personal guards and households hurriedly agreed and left.

But for a moment, the hundred guards rushed into the official hall with a sweat on their heads, looking happy: "Congratulations! A Song army team attacked the south gate..."

Ma Chengwang was stunned for a moment. A Song army team attacked him. Is this worth congratulations?

The personal guard Baihu continued: "The sneak attack on the Song army was encountering Ma Qianhu, and was hit hard by the head and fled in panic. More than ten people who had not escaped were captured by the second son and were escorted to the garrison."

Ma Chengwang said, "This Zhang Shijie is also poor, and he actually uses this trick... You can see clearly, is it Ying Lin?"

"It's true that it's the second young master who is escorting a team of Song troops behind him, coming along the way of transporting troops. But..."

"But what?"

"The second young master seemed to be injured and was carried by several soldiers. Don't worry, he asked from a distance, and the injury was not inconvenient."

Ma Chengwang then felt relieved.

In order to prevent the leak of the news, Ma Yinglin attacked secretly, not going to Lifang Street, but walking on the military transport road. This military transport road is a bit like a wall-mounted road, connecting the military camp on one end, and erecting a high wall on the other side to separate from the residents of Lifang. In an emergency, soldiers and weapons can be quickly transported to various sections of the city walls. Both sides of the military transport road are guarded by guards, and they are not allowed to pass without holding the command of the guard office. The only person who has a command tonight is his son Ma Yinglin.

"Although I failed to raid the enemy camp, it is a merit to break the enemy's secret sword and capture the little girl with his hand." Ma Chengwang first set the tone for his son's actions tonight. After thinking about it, he was worried. He waved his sleeves to the old servant, "Change the official uniform and go and have a look."

Ma Chengwang, who had quickly changed into his official uniform, just walked out of the mansion and rushed towards him.

The guards and households lined up to guard the enemy and shouted loudly: "Who is coming?"

The opposite answered: "The second son Ma Yinglin."

Ma Chengwang took the torch handed over by his entourage, stepped out and raised the fire to see his son Ma Yinglin. He was being carried by someone at this moment... Well, it seemed more like he was grabbing. Then, Ma Chengwang saw his son's eyes.

No one knows his son better than his father. He only looked at him with his son, and Ma Chengwang understood everything.
