lady, please calm down

Chapter 238 Divine Soldier descends from heaven
The seventh day of August.

At Fanjiawei in Shangying County, the rebel army launched several attacks since noon in the morning, all of which were repelled by the defenders.

From the beginning of the battle to Shenshi in the afternoon, the elite of the rebel army and Jin and Li's headquarters attacked the stronghold from the east and west sides at the same time.

The pressure in the polder suddenly increased sharply.

Min Zhuang knew that if Zhuangzi was broken by thieves, his wife, children and parents would definitely not be spared, so he couldn't help resisting desperately.

But Jin and Li's headquarters have fought many battles in the past few months. In terms of combat experience, the young and strong are naturally inferior.

At dusk, Fan Jiawei was already clumsy on the left and right, and there was a lot of danger.

Xin Qiji and his wife and brothers led more than a hundred children of the Fan family, like a fire brigade, running back and forth on the wall of the polder to support them.

However, the rebellious army changed from the previous style of "retreat if you win or retreat", and was willing to risk huge casualties, and continued to attack with a desperate posture.

Seeing the rebels entering the village, it was only a matter of time.
Youshizhong.

Chen Chu led the Ma Jun, Tiedan Ma Jun, and Jiang Huaixiong's Ma Jun of the Wuwei Army. A total of more than a thousand people arrived at a sparse forest seven miles north of Fanjiawei after a one-day march.

This distance has long been in contact with the outpost of the Jin Taiping Department of the rebel army.

Tie Dan led hundreds of horses forward to hunt and kill the outposts, while Jiang Huaixiong immediately ordered the soldiers to dismount and feed the horses water and bean feed.

It is good to restore the stamina and replenish energy for the horse that has been galloping for most of the day, so that it will be ready to face the enemy later.

According to Jiang Huaixiong, after the Great Qi Dynasty took the Zhou Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom and Xixia lifted the horse embargo in the Qi Kingdom, and the elite cavalry troops on the north and northwest roads of the Qi Kingdom could provide knights with two riders, and the Jin Kingdom’s horse army even had one man Three rides.

However, Huaibei has been densely populated since ancient times, and there is no place to graze horses. The local horse army can only ride one horse per person.

Otherwise, there is no need to let the horses rest and feed before meeting the enemy.

After about a stick of incense, Tie Dan led his troops back and said: "We have fought against the rebellious army sentry, and someone from the other side has fled back to our camp, so Fan Jiawei is in danger."Whether to launch a surprise attack according to the original plan, or wait for the pawns in the rear to rendezvous before charging, brother Chen can decide
With an army of thousands of people, it would be extremely difficult to reach the opponent's formation without anyone noticing.

It is normal to be discovered by a random army sentry.

Although the 'suddenness' was lost at this time, the short distance of a few miles and the arrival in an instant can still be regarded as unexpected.

If we wait for the large group of infantry to arrive, I don't know how long it will take. If the rebel army captures Fanjiawei and defends it according to the wall, or escapes with the grain and grass in the welding area, it will be unsightly.
"Send me the general order, prepare quickly, and set off in half a quarter of an hour"

Chen Chu gave an order, and the white-haired rat beside him who was feeding the horse hurriedly peeled off the cooked chicken egg that was specially left this morning, stuffed it into the mouth of his war horse, stroked his comrade's mane wet with sweat, and put it on the ground again. He fastened the saddle he had just taken off on the horse and said, "Thank you for your hard work, buddy."

Maodan and Baoxi turned into messengers, with Chen Chu as the center, trotted to the left and right sides, and shouted as they ran: "There are orders from the generals, get your equipment ready, and charge in half a moment."

In the sparse forest, the sound of clattering armor rang out.

Fanjiawei, the east side wall.

At sunset, the blood-colored setting sun made the earth red all over, and for a while, it was hard to tell whether it was blood on the wall of the polder or the sunset.
In a small Zhuangzi, the offensive and defensive battles have become incandescent.

Under the polder wall, the original soil color is no longer visible, and the only bare land next to the layers of corpses has also absorbed blood and turned into black-red mud.
The stench of golden juice and rapidly decaying corpses filled the nostrils; the wailing of wounded soldiers and the terrified screams of young and strong before death spread throughout the wild.

Like a shrine.
On the wall of the polder, the young Xin Qiji also lost his coquettish appearance, his white shirt could no longer see his original color, he shot a bow and arrow over a thief who had just climbed to the top of the wall, and another thief who had already climbed up the wall was already holding his hand. The Ghost Head Knife approached.

Xiao Xin subconsciously reached out to fish the quiver, but found nothing.

Looking down, he saw that the quiver was empty.

In a hurry, he had to abandon his bow and draw his sword to meet the enemy.

Unexpectedly, a strong young man in his 20s emerged from the diagonal stab. He swung out a cooked copper mace, and the ghost-headed sword held by the thief broke with the sound.

Before the thief could react, the burly young man turned into a slash, and the cooked copper mace hit the thief's throat hard, and the huge Adam's apple was instantly shattered.

"Hey, brother, didn't you go to Xujiaba to rescue soldiers? You came back so soon?" Even on this dangerous wall, Xiao Xin still smiled and showed his white teeth when he saw someone coming.

"Bah~"

Fan Rushan wiped off the blood all over his face, spat out the blood from his mouth, and his face sank like a railway: "Xu Yuan said that the thieves are powerful, and it is still difficult for Xu Jiaba to protect himself, and he has no spare power to help me, Fan Jiawei."

"Hey! This old man is really embarrassed. A few days ago, his village was surrounded. If my second brother and I hadn't led people to attack the thieves' rear team, I'm afraid his entire family would have been poisoned by the thieves. At this time, unexpectedly Don't save me until you die"

Xiao Xin couldn't help cursing when he heard the words, while the two were talking, they suddenly heard a cry of killing on the west polder wall.

The two turned their heads at the same time, only to see that a group of bandits had swarmed up on the west wall. The young and strong lost the power of the polder wall.

The traitors were like ink spots spreading on white paper, and more and more people climbed onto the wall.

The Western Wall is occupied, only in a moment.

Xin Qiji looked at it and knew that it was the last time to fight for his life. He raised his sword and was about to rush over, but was grabbed by Fan Rushan, "Tan Fu! If you can't hold on anymore, you take Daddy and Lan'er away!"

"Brother, can't you hold on? You and I still have the strength to fight again!"

Xin Qiji said optimistically, but he couldn't help but glance at Zhuangzi, the look of despair in his eyes fleeting.

Looking down from the heights, one can see that the Fan family's back house is full of fagots under a small two-story building.

In the small building, there are his father-in-law, his mother-in-law, the wives and children of his two brothers-in-law, and his wife.

The day the village was destroyed was the day when his father-in-law and his family set themselves on fire.
"Tanfu! Don't be too arrogant, you are a horse in the family, and only if you survive can you hope to avenge my Fan family!"

Fan Rushan's eyes were red, and his hands were tightly grasping Xin Qiji's shoulders like pincers. He originally had a lot to say to his brother-in-law, but now all he had left was to tell him and his wife to take their parents and flee for their lives.

Xin Qiji turned his head and glanced at the endless stream of rebels outside the polder wall, and said, "Brother, you still don't know Lord Taishan's temper? If he wants to leave, does he have to wait until today? How can I persuade him?"

"."

When Fan Rushan heard this, he couldn't help but be silent.

Inside the village, there was already a panic. Groups of women and children searched for a place to hide in the village like headless flies. Some people burrowed into the straw piles, some climbed among the luxuriant branches of old trees, and some stood by the mouth of the well. If you want to hide in it, you still want to throw yourself into a well to avoid being humiliated by thieves.

There were also three or two young men who were originally guarding the wall of the polder, but they escaped at some point. Some of them abandoned their weapons and put on women's clothes, and followed the women and children to run around, looking for a hiding place.

There are also people who lost their souls and stumbled around in the village, shouting incessantly, "lost, defeated, the thieves are coming in, everyone run away!"

For a time, it was like the end of the world.

Seeing that the defeat has been decided, and there is no possibility of turning the world around, Fan Rushan gazed at the mountains and rivers at sunset and the house behind him with infinite nostalgia, and said painfully: "At the beginning, it was better to listen to Tanfu and go to Zhou Kingdom."

Up to now, Xiao Xin smiled and said loudly: "Brother, today my younger brother and the whole Fan family are here to fight against the bandits. There is no regret in dying. Our family is on the road together, and Huang Quan is not alone. If you want to kill a bandit, you will be powerless. Die worthy, happy, happy!"

"Okay! Then we brothers need to bring a few more thieves with us before we go!"

Infected by his brother-in-law's boldness, Fan Rushan couldn't help feeling a sense of death.

"Hahaha, okay, big brother, let's kill thieves together!"

The two looked at each other and each smiled, but they couldn't hold it back. They turned their heads and took a last look at the small building full of dry firewood in the back house of the Fan family.

Just at this time, I saw disorderly soldiers two miles away, a group of people in the central army shouted horses, and a group of horse troops rushed out, forming three queues in a hurry to the north behind the main formation.

At the same time, formations had already been formed under the polder wall. The rebel infantry who were waiting for the last wave of siege were urgently recalled by the messengers and formed up again behind the rebels and horses.

Pawns also face north
Fanjiawei, which is about to break down, has suddenly lightened the pressure on the east and west sides of the polder walls.

Xin Qiji and Fan Rushan, who were about to fight to the death, looked at each other subconsciously.

Even though they were separated by two miles, both of them felt the tension that suddenly rose in the chaos.

The camp of the rebellious army was in the north, and Fanjiawei, which they had besieged for several days, was in the south. At this time, they suddenly lined up in the north.
There is only one possibility, reinforcements are coming from the north!

And from the tense atmosphere of the thieves, it can be seen that the rebel army is very afraid of this support army!

"Brother! Could it be that the government army came to help?" Xin Qiji thought for a while, and boldly expressed his guess.

"Official army? The rebellious soldiers come and go freely in Yingzhou. It's been more than a month. When did you see the ghost of the official army? The Anshun army in Yingzhou stayed in the city to avoid the battle, and the Taining army from Shandong Road killed the bandits. No, they are good at killing common people. How could they have such good intentions to go deep into the hinterland of Shangying County to rescue us."

When Fan Rushan talked about the officers and soldiers, he was quite disdainful, but Xin Qiji said, "Brother, have you forgotten? There were rumors at the beginning of the month that Chen Dutong, the left-behind department of Linfu Caizhou, had led his troops to Yingzhou!"

"he?"

Fan Rushan knew that his younger sister and brother-in-law highly respected Caizhou Chen Dutong and his wife.
At the beginning, when "Caizhou Five Days Talk" reported on the flood in Caizhou, Xiaoxin read in the newspaper that Chen Du led the army to go deep into the pan-area to seal the breach, rescue the disaster and calm the people.

My younger sister, Fan Ruyu, read that Zhao Ling mobilized the whole city to donate money and materials, baked pancakes for the victims, and in order to appease the panic-stricken victims, she ate and lived with everyone in the pan-area for more than a month. Man! '

Therefore, although Fan Rushan felt that the world was as dark as crows, and Chen Chu's Caizhou soldiers were not much better, in front of Chen Dutong's little fanboy, Fan Rushan suppressed his criticism and only said: "Chen Dutong's troops Isn’t it also the official army? The official army has been decayed for a long time, and he has the heart to kill thieves, but he may not have the power to kill thieves. Maybe it’s Zuo Jinminzhuang who came to help?”

Fan Rushan would rather guess that the reinforcements were ordinary young men than believe that they were officers, which shows how unbearable the officers are in his mind.

Xiao Xin shook his head, and said to himself: "Brother, if there is any reinforcement, it must be Chen Dutong's Caizhou soldiers!"

"." Seeing that his brother-in-law was so determined, Fan Rushan didn't say anything.

After a cup of tea, I saw a tide-like black line rising slowly on the northwest horizon.

In early autumn, the heat is still rolling in the evening, and a cloud of water vapor evaporates on the ground, distorting the light.

The silent marching array, in the dim sunset, is like a demon god from the underworld.
Even though they were several miles away, Xin and Fan felt a strong sense of oppression.

Not to mention facing them directly, the whole army of chaos is still busy.
The distance between the two sides was a thousand steps, and the army of the official army and the middle army of the horse army, who were advancing slowly in a loose formation, had gradually advanced.

The typical formation of cavalry charge, the front and arrow formation has been completed.

After five hundred steps, the Ma Jun began to speed up slowly, and the word "Chen" on the vermilion banner was clearly visible.

After three hundred paces, the rebellious army finally managed to organize their formation.

On the side of the officers and soldiers, a desolate and loud suona sound suddenly sounded. Thousands of knights loosened their reins and urged their horses at the same time.

The sound of the hooves became heavier, and finally converged into continuous bursts of rolling thunder.
It makes people tremble with fear.

In the sky, a group of southward geese flew leisurely.

On the earth, dust and smoke are rising, and thousands of horses are rolling around the hills.

Hundred miles of fertile fields, the setting sun is like blood
