Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 15

[Chapter 15 Wei Hou’s Wrath (1)]

Chen Rui’s heart was full of Xiao Qiao’s shadow, and he went straight to the prefect’s mansion when he got out of the city.

With his nature, he fell in love with a woman, not to mention that it fell into his own hands, and he would be slaughtered like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger. How could there be such a reason for being patient and accommodating? It’s just that this time, I don’t know why, but I can’t be cruel to her. I think it’s a big deal and I’ll just wait another day. After the wedding, whether she likes it or not, she’ll be her own. She was full of spirit and took out the male dragon and masculine spirit. When she tasted her ability to serve women, she was not afraid that she would not surrender. On this day, he arranged the city defense, and after entrusting important positions such as military guards and school captains to his cronies, he left the business alone and walked around in front of Xiao Qiao, ordering people to carry jewelry and satin to Xiao Qiao continuously. To please her in every possible way. Finally, in the evening of the next day, everything was ready, and the new house was well-decorated. Chen Rui also waited for the auspicious time, and ordered someone to go to the room to force Xiao Qiao out for the wedding ceremony. At this time, an urgent report came, saying that the spies found that a marching army was coming towards the city at a distance of 30 miles outside the city.

Not wanting Wei Shao to march so fast, Chen Rui had to suspend the wedding ceremony and ordered the scouts to visit again, and came back to report that it was less than ten miles away.

Chen Rui scolded Wei Shao for being a bad person. He took off his dress and ordered someone to fetch a chainmail heart protector. He put on his upper body and took a painted halberd. When he was full of energy and wanted to lead the army out to meet the enemy, he suddenly remembered and hesitated for a while. , turned around and hurried back to the room, pushed open the door, and said to Xiao Qiao: “Beauty, Wei Shao brought it here and sent him to death. I don’t know what to do, how dare I do something good to you and me! Just watch, I’ll go out of the city and kill him under the horse, and when I come back from the victory, I will worship you. You wait for me.” He took out the rope, tied her hands and feet in three or two, and finally carried her to the bed. Fang lay down and comforted: “Beauty, don’t blame me for being rough again. I’m really worried about you. I’m afraid that I’m not in front of you. If you can’t think about it, it’s too late for me to regret it! You can bear it. Forbearance, I’ll be back when I go.” After he finished speaking, he put down the tent and turned to go out, instructing the servants to keep watch at the gate, and then he hurried to the gate of the city, selected the soldiers, got on his horse, set up the flag, and led the soldiers out first. Chen Bing Yuye at the city gate, majestic and majestic, was waiting for Wei Shao to arrive.

Wei Shao’s army came, and there were frequent reports from spies on the road. They learned that Chen Pang had been controlled by Chen Rui, the generals of Shiyi city defense had changed, and Chen Rui had also led the troops outside the city, threatening to fight him. , then went straight to the city, and when they were several miles away, when they saw the city in the distance, the two armies encountered each other.

Wei Shao looked at the opposite side, at the head of the battle, saw Chen Rui sitting high on the back of a horse, with a halberd in his hands, four great generals lined up on either side, behind him was a tall scorpion with a height of more than 10 feet, embroidered with the words “Dou Da”, facing the wind. Fluttering, majestic in all directions. Chen Rui slapped his horse out, provoking himself, and his posture was extremely arrogant.

Wei Shao, as if he hadn’t heard of it, only took his dual-machine iron bow from the left and right. After taking aim, he was full of string crossbow and fired a triple shot at Chen Rui.

The arrow cluster with a faint whistling that ripped through the air, linked head to tail in the air, like a stretched straight snake, and took Chen Rui more than a hundred steps away. Chen Rui was unprepared and was taken aback. In the blink of an eye, he came to the front, and he didn’t even have time to swing the halberd and the arrow, and regardless of the ugly, he hurriedly leaned over to the horse’s back, only then did Kankan dodge the cluster of arrows, and a gust of wind passed over his head. “Pfft” three muffled sounds in succession. Looking back, the three arrow clusters were actually nailed deeply into the flagpole. Although a hundred paces away, the force still penetrated the thick poplar wood. The tail of the arrow buzzed and the flagpole saw chips flying. , Another gust of wind swept through, and with a slight sound of “Kerala”, the flagpole was abruptly folded at the waist, and it fell to the ground with the big flag.

Wei Shao’s grandfather, Wei Lun, was summoned to Luoyang when he was young and served as a general of Yulin for a period of time. Although the Wei family is an aristocratic family, and their ancestors also held important positions as prefects, but because of his handsome appearance, he was implicated by this, and no one believed his ability at first. One day, the Han emperor held a banquet, and the banquet used archery as a play. He said that he heard that in ancient times, a person who was good at archery had an arrow that could penetrate the five armors, and hoped to see it with his own eyes. Many good shooters in the banquet came out to try shooting, but no one could shoot the five armors. When Emperor Han was disappointed, Wei Lun came out, please try Qijia. Emperor Han was surprised, but still let people stack seven layers of spermatic armor. As a result, Wei Lun hit a hole. Emperor Han was shocked, and all the people at the banquet were also shocked. Wei Lun became famous for this, and the Han emperor named him the general of the strong crossbow, and ordered him to lead the army to fight against the Huns. Wei Shao’s grandmother, Mrs. Xu, who was the master at the time, fell in love with Wei Lun because of this, and later married him and gave birth to Wei Shao’s father, Wei Jing. Wei Jing was also known for being good at shooting.

Unexpectedly, after a few decades, Wei Shao would not live up to the name of the ancestor’s powerful crossbow, and shoot such a superb crossbow!

The two armies were silent for a moment, and suddenly, Wei Shao’s side made a neat “tiger might” howl, and the sergeants slammed into the ground with their shields. In front of Chen Rui’s formation, the soldiers looked at each other in dismay, but they were silent. The two armies had lost a lot of momentum before the battle began.

A cold sweat broke out from Chen Rui’s back. Seeing that the banner was broken and the momentum was first lost, Chen Rui couldn’t help but become angry.

Wei Shao slowly put away his bow and crossbow, his face condensed, and he ignored it. Wei Liang had already urged the horse to leave the queue, and moved towards Chen Ruiying, saying, “Chen Rui kid, beat me first and then talk about the rest!” Zhang Gong, the lieutenant next to Chen Rui, slapped the horse to greet him, but who was Wei Liang’s opponent? , in just a few rounds, he was beheaded by the horse. Another deputy general, Liu Xiang, was released, but he still lost, and returned home with serious injuries.

The lieutenants led by Chen Rui were all Chen Pang’s people. In just two days, Chen Pang’s power was taken away, and Chen Rui was arrogant. At this moment, the confrontation, first Wei Shao stunned the two armies with a strong crossbow, the flag fell, and the morale was first lost. Now Zhanggong Liu Xiang is dead and seriously injured. The rest of the people still have the heart to fight. Someone is out.

In terms of fighting alone, Wei Liang rarely lost a battle in his life. This time, he stumbled and lost his newly-married daughter-in-law in his own hands. It was a great shame. With a roar, he came towards Chen Rui single-handedly. Everyone was horrified by his aura, and they all retreated. Chen Rui was helpless, and he stood up. The two faced each other immediately. Wei Liang slashed down with a big knife, with such strength, Chen Rui’s arms were heavy, and he was barely talented. After getting away, he was horrified by Wei Liang’s divine power, and then he regretted that he underestimated the enemy, and knew that he should not be able to get better if he continued to fight.

His mind turned extremely fast, and after a few more moments of response, he faltered, turned around and took the lead in running towards the city, ordering to retreat to the city and defending it strictly. When everyone saw him turn around and pat his horses and head for the city, his position was suddenly in chaos. The sergeants ignored the formation and rushed to the city. Wei Shao ordered the drums to chase and chased under the city wall in one breath. Chen Rui ordered the city gate to be closed quickly. , At this time, there were still backward soldiers who did not have time to enter the city, and in a blink of an eye, the Wei army caught up and encircled them.

Wei Shao stood under the flag gate and ordered a strong attack to enter the city. Chen Rui calmed down and personally climbed the top of the wall to command the defense of the city. The drums were loud, and the shouts moved the ground. The arrows and stones inside and outside the city wall were like rain, and fireballs flew, like the sky was destroying the earth and the mountains were falling.

The city walls of Shiyi are towering, and the guards are all Chen Pang’s former troops, and they are well-trained on weekdays. After Chen Rui retreated into the city, he knew that there was no way back, and everyone could only cheer up and do their best to protect the city. Although Wei Shao’s offensive was severe, he couldn’t take it down for a while.

When the two sides met, it was almost dusk, and the fierce battle continued until dark, with casualties on both sides. It’s just that Wei Shao’s offensive has not weakened, but has become more and more fierce. When the soldiers saw Wei Shao taking the lead in ascending the ladder, each and every one of them was even more desperate, fighting each other with death. How did the Shiyi defenders ever encounter such a fierce attack? Gradually run out. Seeing the situation was not good, Chen Rui refused to admit defeat, and killed two retreating soldiers on the spot, forcing the remaining soldiers to stand guard. It was Chen Pang’s cronies who took this opportunity to free him and asked him to go to the city again to lead the battle to boost his morale. Although Chen Pang was annoyed that his nephew treated him like this, it was a matter of success and loss of the city. At this moment, he couldn’t care less about Chen Rui. He hurriedly put on his armor and grabbed the commander’s flag. If he died, he would go to the city to command.

The Shiyi defenders were already disillusioned, but when they saw Chen Pang appear, they were encouraged and their morale was revived, and they actually resisted a wave of attacks from Wei Shao. However, Wei Shao’s offensive was really fierce, and Chen Pang gradually couldn’t stand it anymore. He knew that if it continued like this, it would be impossible to escape the city. When he was anxious, he suddenly thought of Nv Qiao, and immediately ordered someone to take her to the wall and threaten Wei Shao. retreat. I don’t want Chen Rui to take advantage of the unexpected, he has already broken free, and was about to sneak down quietly and take Xiao Qiao to escape, when he suddenly heard Chen Pang’s order to take Xiao Qiao up the city wall, scolded Chen Pang as an old man, and killed him with a knife. The guards nearby turned around and hurried away to the city. Chen Pang was furious, and when he ordered his subordinates to chase and stop him, he suddenly saw a large fire in the city behind him.

Near the prefect’s mansion is the grain depot. Chen Pang has been in business for many years, and all the reserves are there, and the food in Tibet can support the whole city for a year. Fireworks are usually seen very strictly, but for some reason, such a critical juncture actually caught fire. Taking advantage of the wind, the fire spread ragingly, almost turning half of the night sky red. There was a lot of noise and chaos in the city.

Chen Pang was shocked and was determined to save the grain depot. However, the attack under the city was fierce, so he could only continue to defend, but the sergeant at the city gate was distracted by the fire, and was shocked by Wei Shao’s vicious attack that was inevitable. With Chen Pang sitting in town, he couldn’t care for each other. Suddenly, there was a loud “bang” at the gate of the city. The gate had been broken open by a giant tree. Amid the shouting, the crowd from outside the city poured in, and the two sides started a final hand-to-hand fight. battle.

Not to mention the tragic melee combat, but only to say that when Chen Rui escaped in the chaos and was embarrassed, he still couldn’t let go of the beauty, and rushed to the prefect’s mansion in one breath. After turning the ground twice, gritted his teeth, and finally rushed in, only to see a blazing fire inside, the whole house had been engulfed in the fire, the beams kept collapsing, and standing outside the courtyard, a burst of scorching fire scorched his face, and he was surrounded by fire. Forced back a few steps.

Chen Rui knew that the beauty must have been killed in the flames, and with pain and remorse, he shouted: “Kill me with pain!” With a burst of energy, he turned around and went to find Wei Shao desperately. , I heard a shoving and shouting in front of me, and by the firelight behind me, I recognized that Wei Shao’s army had invaded the city and was coming in his direction. He was shocked again, stomped his feet, and hurriedly turned around and returned to the prefect’s mansion, for fear of being chased. When he arrived, he panicked and ran all the way to the backyard, and finally escaped from the wall of the thatched hut.

…

A fierce battle finally ended, and it was already late at night. Chen Pang was injured and captured alive, most of the defenders of Shiyi suffered casualties, and the rest surrendered. Although Wei Shao’s soldiers were exhausted, and many were injured, they were excited to conquer Xia Shiyi, and cheers were heard everywhere.

Li Chong, the deputy general, took care of the post-war casualty count and resettlement matters. Gongsun Yang arranged for people to fight the fire. Wei Shao strode away to the prefect’s mansion. When he arrived at Wei Shao, he ran to him and knelt down on one knee to report that he had sent someone to chase Chen Rui, who had fled, but the queen was not found.

According to the confession of the servants of the prefect’s mansion, the lady was locked in the new house that had been arranged at the time, and the source of the fire was where the new house was located. At that time, the servant girl who was ordered by Chen Rui to guard her saw the fire in the room and opened the door to check.

The sergeant-major had already sent people to look around, but there was no sign of the lady, and he thought that she might have died in the sea of fire.

After the sergeant finished reporting, he looked at Wei Shao with a somewhat uneasy expression.

Wei Shao stopped in place, raised his head slightly, and looked at the raging fire that was still burning not far away.

His face and body were still stained with blood, and the armor reflected the fire on the opposite side, and his expression also brought out some hideous and murderous colors.

At first, he seemed to be slightly absent-minded, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.

“Send my order to kill Chen Pang, the family will be destroyed, the woman will be cast as a prostitute, the soldiers will be buried alive, and not a single one will be left.”

After a while, he spoke word by word, but his tone was rather flat, without any ups and downs.

Gongsun Yang was taken aback and glanced at him. Seeing that his eyes were also red with blood and his eyes were murderous, he hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him. Before he could speak, Wei Shao said: “Sir, you don’t need to say more, I have made up my mind.” His voice was cold.

When Gongsun Yang hesitated, another sergeant sergeant came running behind him, but this man had a happy face, and shouted loudly from a distance: “Your Majesty! I have found the female lord! I have found the female lord! The female lord is hiding in the upper wind Empty stables!”

Gongsun Yang was overjoyed, and hurried up to ask what was going on. The sergeant chief reported that the lady was safe and sound, but her hands and wrists were scorched by fire. .

Gongsun Yang turned his head to repeat it, looked at Wei Shao’s expression, and persuaded: “My lord! Chen Pang can’t be killed, there is no use in leaving it behind, and the remaining defenders in Shiyi have also surrendered to the lord. It is ominous to kill him. I hope the lord thinks twice.”

After he persuaded, seeing that Wei Shao didn’t nod his head, but didn’t say anything, he breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment, and then persuaded: “The lady will be fine. It’s just these twists and turns, I must have suffered a lot. Frightened. Why doesn’t the lord visit the queen? Leave the rest of the city’s affairs to me.”

“Mr. Trouble will send a military doctor to treat her injuries, and then she will be guarded, so there is nothing wrong. I have other business, I will go first. !”

Wei Shao dropped a sentence and turned to leave.

Gongsun Yang looked at his back, shook his head, and ordered to go down.
