Fenghou

Yang Qin's family was placed under house arrest in a large yard in the back house. They hid behind the boulders by the pond and saw the situation in the yard. They saw spears planted around the yard wall, and the sharp points of the spears exceeded the yard. The height of the wall is so high that the elderly, weak, women and children cannot climb out at all.

The only way was to come out through the front and back doors, but there were two Jurchen soldiers sitting on the steps of the back door. They used sheepskin as a cushion and wrapped their bodies in thick blankets. The person leaned against the door, sleeping soundly, the only thing exposed outside was their necks.

At this time, two of the best Qinggong soldiers came back and said in a low voice: "There are two people at the gate in front of them, just like them, leaning against the gate, and the other soldiers are sleeping in the yard next to them."

Now it was the fifth watch, when everyone was sleeping the most. Zhong Huan ordered in a low voice, "Go and kill the two people at the front door. You must move quickly, so that they don't make any noise. It's best to slit their throats."

The two nodded and went quickly.

Zhong Huan winked at another inner guard archer, and the two of them drew their bows and arrows together, and suddenly pulled the bowstring, "One, two, three! Zhong Huan made three beeps in a low voice, the string was loosened, and two mace arrows were shot out at the same time, as fast as lightning and powerful.

'Boom!Boom! 'Twice, two arrows shot through the throats and necks of the two men at the same time, and nailed the two golden soldiers to the back door. After shooting through the heads of the two, the two stopped struggling and died completely.

The two men came back from the front yard, and they also killed the two Jurchen soldiers at the gate of the front yard.

"Go to the next yard, don't leave a single one behind, kill them all!"

After Zhong Huan gave an order, everyone pulled out their knives and rushed to the yard next to them...

390 Chapter Four Rescue

Yang Qinnian is about fifty years old. He looks like a typical Han Chinese. He is well maintained. He is no different from officials in the Central Plains. However, he is a Jinshi of the Liao Kingdom. In just a few years, he was promoted to the doctor of the household department, and the Liao Kingdom perished. Afterwards, all the Han officials surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin, and the officials were reinstated and continued to serve the Kingdom of Jin.

Yang Qin was quite appreciated by Wan Yanchang, and was promoted during Wan Yanchang's prime ministership, and was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War of the Kingdom of Jin. In the seventh year of Shaoxing, Yang Qin had private contacts with Wang Kang, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, and was recently reported. He was fired for three months and returned to Liaoyang Mansion. At first he thought nothing would happen, but unexpectedly, Jin Bing put him under house arrest. Obviously, he would continue to deal with him. Only then did Yang Qin start to get scared, and tried to spread the news to Yong. country for help. "

Yang Qin stared blankly at Zhong Huan standing in the courtyard, and it took him a long time to finally realize that King Yong had sent someone to save him. He was surprised and happy at once, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to the golden soldiers outside?"

Zhong Huan smiled slightly and said, "The gold soldiers have all been killed, so hurry up and wake up your family, pack up your things, and we'll leave the city at dawn!"

Yang Qin hurried back to his room and asked his wife to pack up.

At this time, one of his subordinates ran to Zhong Huan and said, "Commander, we have repeatedly counted and found that there are indeed only 20 corpses, not [-]!"

Zhong Huan frowned, what's going on?

At this time, Yang Qin came out with his wife, followed by his three children, two sons and a daughter, all three were underage, only teenagers.

Yang Qin's ex-wife was from Khitan and gave birth to two sons, both of whom died before they grew up. His ex-wife also died of excessive pain because of this.

Now his wife is Han, and the three children she gave birth to are all healthy, which is enough to make Yang Qin feel relieved. Of course, he doesn't want his children to be burdened by him to death, so he decides to escape from the Kingdom of Jin.

A family of five plus an old servant, each carrying a cloth bag filled with gold and silver, they packed it up long ago, and were waiting to flee.

Soldiers cleaned up Jin Bing's body. There were indeed only 19 people, and it was confirmed that no one escaped.

Zhong Huan couldn't think of the reason, so he asked Yang Qin, but neither Yang Qin nor the old servant knew, so Zhong Huan left two soldiers lurking in the mansion, and joined them out of the city after dawn.

"Come with me! Go to the next house first!"

Zhong Huan led the people out of the mansion through the back door, and went directly into the next door. When he saw Pang Guangji, Pang Guangji was overjoyed, and quickly said, "You all have to dress up as ordinary people and go out of the city in a bullock cart after dawn. Don't worry, it's not a war. When you go out of the city, you never check, just look at the wooden sign, I have prepared all your wooden signs."

Pang Guangji arranged for them to rest temporarily in the lobby.

Zhong Huan pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure there are twenty guarding soldiers facing you?"

Pang Guangji wondered: "Of course I can be sure, why, the number is wrong?"

Zhong Huan nodded, "We killed everyone, and indeed there were only 19 people, one less."

"Have you visited the toilet?"

"I've been there, there's no one in the toilet."

Pang Guangji's face changed slightly: "This is strange. My subordinates were monitoring the outside, but no one escaped. Could it be that there is one less person today?"

Chong Huan worried: "I can't find out the reason now. The most urgent thing is to get out of the city quickly. When will the city gate be opened at the earliest?"

"There is still half an hour!"

"If so many of us go out of the city together, will we be interrogated?"

Pang Guangji shook his head and said with a smile: "There are many people who left the city in the first batch, and they are basically Han Chinese. Only Han people work so hard to make a living. Each of you carries poles and ropes. There will be many such folkmen who go to the pier to pick up goods. , I have already made arrangements."

"What about them?"

Chong Huan glanced at the family of five sitting in the lobby resting and asked, "Will the family be interrogated if they leave the city so early?"

"Don't worry, their old servant is very capable and will handle it well, and I will remind him."

……

For half an hour, Zhong Huan stood in front of the city gate with nine of his subordinates. The two subordinates who were lurking in the Yang Mansion did not find anything unusual, so they also came back and set off with them.

Sure enough, the west city gate was full of people, all of them were Han Chinese, small vendors doing business, people who were going to visit relatives in other counties, and the most were folk husbands who went to the wharf to pick up jobs. There were five or sixty people, all of them one Dress up, wrap your head with a cloth scarf, wear a gray or crimson short jacket, carry a pole on your shoulder, and a hemp rope is tied to the pole.

Zhong Huan mixed with his subordinates, so he was inconspicuous at all. Although Zhong Huan was taller, there were many peasants who were taller and stronger than him.

The Yang family’s ox cart was with another ox cart. The father and son sat in the other ox cart. They were going to study in another county. The excuse of the Yang family was of course to visit relatives. Anyway, the guards didn’t know Yang Qin. .

Pang Guangji himself pretended to be the coachman and drove the cart, while the old servant rode a donkey and followed beside the ox cart.

At this moment, Yang Qin's heart was pounding and he was extremely nervous. Once he was caught, he would surely die, and his family members would not survive. Although he was very nervous, he still pretended to be calm to appease the three children.

The gate of the city finally creaked open, and the vegetable farmers waiting outside were eager to come in to sell vegetables, but they were stopped by the Jurchen soldiers, and they left the city before entering the city. People in bullock carts must have a higher status than civilian husbands.

"Where to go?"

"Go to Shenzhou to study!"

The father and son let Jin Bing take a look at the badge, and the carriage left the city.

Immediately after was the carriage of Yang Qin's family. The old servant jumped off the donkey, ran up to the chief centurion, and said to him in fluent Jurchen dialect: "My family's officials took the whole family to Tangchi County to visit relatives. There are female relatives in the ox cart. , it’s not very convenient, so you don’t need to check it!”

As he said that, an ingot of two taels of silver was stuffed into the hands of the centurion. It is very particular about giving money. First of all, there must be an excuse, otherwise the father and son did not send a penny, and they left the city together?

The old servant used the excuse that there are female relatives in the car, which is very clever. If you don't want the Jurchen soldiers to harass the female relatives, you have to pay.

But it’s not okay to give too much money, for example, five taels of silver, five taels of silver in the Kingdom of Jin is worth thirty guan, this is a lot of money, the centurion will definitely be suspicious, even if there is a female family member, there is no need to give so much If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

It’s even worse if you don’t give too much, the centurion will feel too little, and will think that you underestimate him. Instead, you will make things difficult for him, and the female relatives will be harassed, so the gift should be just right. The old servant obviously knows this well. .

The centurion pinched two taels of silver, feeling very pleased with it, he chuckled, waved his hand and said, "If there are female relatives, I won't check, let's go!"

The ox cart started slowly, and drove out of the city at a leisurely pace. The old servant also clasped his fists in salute, got on the donkey and left.

After the two ox carts had left, the peasants behind were already impatient, holding wooden signs in their hands, rushing out. They went to work on the pier every day. They came in, seized the land to sell vegetables, and the people who bought vegetables also came from all over the city, bargaining, it was very lively, and a new day began.

A Jurchen centurion came out of a brothel and came to Yang Mansion humming a little song. He was the leader of the Yang Mansion guard soldiers. He went to find a woman last night, slept with a prostitute in his arms, and came back at dawn .

After knocking on the door of the mansion for a long time, no one came to open it. He cursed and climbed over the wall and entered the mansion. He went all the way to the backyard, but found that all his subordinates had disappeared, and then ran to the small courtyard where the Yang family was under house arrest.

The Jurchen centurion suddenly panicked. Suddenly, he found that the door and the wall were covered with blood. This was the blood that shot out from the throat of the Jurchen soldiers when they cut their throats.

The Jurchen centurion suddenly had his scalp exploded, and after searching carefully, he finally found the corpses of his subordinates in the pond. There were nineteen corpses, and one was quite a few. ' Kneeling down, hissed and shouted as hard as possible.

Not long after, a hunting team composed of [-] Jurchen cavalry rushed out of the west gate like lightning, and rushed towards Liaohe.

The first thousand 390 chapter five rescue

After the ox cart left the city, it picked up speed. Not long after, it arrived at the Black Tiger Inn. Pang Guangji bid farewell to everyone. They put on their weapons and continued on their way. Half an hour later, they heard the sound of horseshoes thundering, and the sky was covered with dust.

Pang Guangji rushed out of the inn, his expression changed drastically, he got on his horse, and galloped towards the river...

At this time, Zhong Huan and his party were only a few miles away from the river, and the official road was gone, so they could only abandon the ox cart and walk. The ground was rough and staggered, and the three children could not walk fast.

Suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes from behind, and when Zhong Huan turned his head, he saw Pang Guangji galloping towards him on horseback, waving and shouting at him. Although he couldn't hear what he was shouting, the color of the sky in the distance had turned yellow.

Zhong Huan's expression changed, and he shouted, "Run with them on your back!"

The soldiers of the inner guard realized that the cavalry was coming, and carried one person on their backs. Yang Qin's wife was slightly fatter, so the tall Zhong Huan carried her on his back, and they all ran wildly.

Yang Qin was still a little reluctant to have his wife carried on Zhong Huan's back, but when he looked back, his face turned pale, and he could already see dense black spots in the distance.

Pang Guangji caught up with them first, and he shouted, "I'll go ahead and look for a boat!"

He galloped towards the Liao River. At this time, Zhong Huan and his party were less than one mile away from the river, and the pursuers behind them were getting closer and closer, but the speed of pursuit was obviously slowed down. Walking is also a great hindrance to the cavalry, they have to slow down, otherwise the horse is very easy to step on the air and fall.

Jin Bing Wanfu had already seen the target of pursuit, and seeing them gradually approaching the river, and there were several boats moored by the river, he suddenly panicked and shouted: "Quickly chase!"

The cavalry ignored the potholes under their feet and ran wildly again. Horses stepped on the ground and fell sideways, and the cavalry also rolled to the ground. However, the cavalry did not stop and chased faster and faster. They were less than one mile away from the river. , Only about three hundred steps away from the target, the soldiers began to draw their bows and arrows.

Ordinary people would have already been paralyzed by the earth-shattering chasing momentum behind them, but the will of the inner guard soldiers was as strong as iron. Their steps were firm and powerful, and their running speed became faster and faster. Fifty steps...forty steps...three steps Ten steps... twenty steps... ten steps..., they finally ran to the side of the boat.

"Get on board!"

Zhong Huan yelled, and the pursuers were only more than 100 steps away from them. The cavalry began to shoot arrows, and the arrows shot at the three ships overwhelmingly. The soldiers on the ship held up their shields to cover them on board.

"Go into the cabin and get down!"

While shouting, the soldiers cut the ropes with their knives and swung the boats into the river. Yang Qin's family was so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they lay on the deck of the cabin, not daring to move. Arrows kept shooting through the canopy. Skimming overhead.

The boat was just ten feet away from the shore, and the cavalry rushed to the shore, restraining their horses one after another, and Master Wan cursed angrily, pointing at the whip, "Shoot the arrow!"

Arrows rained down on the three ships, like straw boats borrowing arrows. The boats were filled with arrows, and the soldiers raised their shields to resist. Zhong Huan was quick to move the family of five and the old servant to the bottom floor one step ahead of time. The cargo hold, otherwise the canopy would be filled with arrows, and they would not be able to survive.

Although the arrows were like rain, they still had no effect. Seeing that the three ships were drifting away.

How could Mr. Wan be willing to let Yang Qin run away? The fourth prince can't spare himself, and the emperor can't spare himself either. He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Hurry up and tell the patrol to intercept on the river. If you live, you want to see people, if you die, you want to see corpses! "

More than a dozen cavalrymen turned around and rushed downstream. More than [-] patrol boats were moored more than ten miles away. Commander Wan ordered the cavalry to run along the river, parallel to the three boats. It is their opportunity to live under oppression.

On the boat, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Qin came out of the cabin, clasped his fists and thanked: "Thank you for saving my family's life, and Yang will remember it in his heart!"

Zhong Huan waved his hand and said, "It's too early to say that now!"

Yang Qin was startled, "Why, is there still danger?"

Zhong Huan nodded, "They have patrol boats on the water, and they will definitely come to intercept us, so there will definitely be a fierce battle. You'd better hide in the cabin, and I will buckle the cover."

Seeing Yang Qin's worried face, Zhong Huan smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, don't worry, we are the internal guards of the Western Army. We are all skilled in martial arts. As long as it is not besieged by thousands of troops, we will definitely protect the safety of your family!"

"General Zhong, please!"

Yang Qin clasped his fists in salute, and went down to the hold, where the family hid.

Zhong Huan then fastened the cover of the cabin and locked it with a big lock. Even if the enemy troops boarded the boat, they would not be able to enter the bottom cabin.

The three cargo ships advanced at full speed and traveled seven or eight miles. There were more than a dozen patrol ships lined up in front of them, blocking the passage of the three cargo ships.

The patrol boats appeared in their plan, Hu Yun thought very carefully and prepared for them well, even the boatman was also considered.

There are two boatmen in a boat, one rowing the oars and the other holding the pole. Of course, the boatman is not an ordinary person, but also a tall and strong inner guard soldier. The six boatmen on the three ships are all wearing heavy armor. At the bow and stern, the center of gravity is extremely stable, and more importantly, the defense is solid, the armor is thick, and the sword and arrow are invulnerable. Even the long pole is actually a spear, which can assassinate the enemy in the water at critical times.

The remaining [-] inner guard soldiers also put on copper helmets and mountain-patterned armor. Their defense capabilities are extremely strong. Although they are not as good as heavy armor, they cannot escape the piercing shot of the god arm crossbow, but they are enough for ordinary bow and crossbow arrows.

This is defense, and they are more comprehensive in terms of offense. They have short spears, swords, crossbows, kerosene bags, throwing kerosene tanks, and [-] throwing guns. In addition, their ships have also been specially modified, with thick walls , It is difficult to be crashed. The front of the three cargo ships is equipped with pig iron head bumpers, which are usually covered by a straw rain cape.

Zhong Huan shouted: "Everyone is ready to fight!"

The three cargo ships were traveling at full speed in the shape of an inverted pin. The main ship where Zhong Huan was on was in the middle, and the other two escort ships were on both sides of the front, one on the left and one on the right. The ships were getting closer and closer to the Jinbing patrol ship.

' Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh! ’Arrows came down like raindrops. More than a dozen arrows hit the boat’s iron armor and fell to the ground with a clang. The inner guard soldiers squatted behind the side of the boat and raised their crossbows to shoot. They all shot with precision. Seven or eight Jurchen soldiers He was shot by an arrow and fell into the water screaming.

"I hit it, squat down!"

Mr. Shao yelled, and he quickly squatted down, 'Boom!boom! There were two loud bangs, and the two intercepted sentry boats were severely smashed by the iron bumper. One of the sentry boats capsized, and all a dozen soldiers on it fell into the water, and the hull of the other sentry boat was hit with a big hole. , the river poured in rapidly.

The intercepted fleet was knocked open a big gap, Zhong Huan's main ship rushed over, followed by two internal guard ships, and a dozen other golden sentinel ships gathered one after another and quickly chased after them.

"Commander, there is another interception ahead!" A soldier pointed to the front and shouted.

More than a dozen sentinel ships appeared in front of them, and they surrounded them in a fan shape from all directions, and the ships behind also turned into a fan shape, 'Boom!Boom!Boom! 'The sound of war drums echoed on the river.

Zhong Huan suddenly understood that the other party had made a pocket for him to slip in.

But can a mere thirty or so ships stop him?

The first thousand 390 chapters six breakout

The Jinbing boats no longer stood still stupidly. They changed their tactics and used the tangle tactic to avoid colliding with the inner guard boats. Instead, they tangled together and fought fiercely.

And the patrol boats also have advantages. They are small, only about a hundred stones, more flexible, and faster than the inner guard's boats.

The two cargo ships took the initiative to meet the enemy and fought fiercely, covering the main ship to go first.

But at this time, the opposing sentry ship seemed to know that the target was on the main ship in the middle, and the two sentry ships rushed towards the main ship, one from the left and the other from the right, trying to get close to the main ship. Zhong Huan shouted: "First deal with the enemy ship on the left, Use spears!"

The ten inner guard soldiers shouted and threw ten spears at the same time. They cooperated very tacitly, and each took an enemy soldier. There was no repetition. The ten spears drew ten silver lights and penetrated the bodies of ten soldiers. , The soldiers screamed and fell into the water. In an instant, there were only five people left in the boat on the left.

Zhong Huan took out a throwing kerosene pot. This kind of kerosene looks like an old-fashioned grenade. In fact, it was designed by Chen Qing according to the shape of the grenade. , the upper part of the vase shell can be ignited, so that there is no need to ignite it again, and the burning pottery pieces are enough to ignite the kerosene. They are usually placed in a wooden box with a lid, and there are six pieces in a box.

Zhong Huan lit the vase on the torch, and threw it at the opponent's ship. The burning vase fell on the deck and shattered, and the fire oil inside spilled out, and was immediately ignited.
