Chapter 22 2 is surrounded
"Sons!" When General Li saw this tragic appearance, his eyes immediately burned red, he stood on a high place, raised his arms and shouted: "Centurion and commander of a thousand soldiers! Sort out the team! Send the wounded soldiers to a flat place to rest, and follow me if they are not injured! Advance at full speed to Beixiang to avenge the dead brothers!"
"No!"
The sound of the promise of the brush immediately resounded through the mountain col, and the surrounding table sank like water, and Liu Dianshi was frightened.
"Let's go!" General Li stepped on his horse, arched his hand at Zhou Zhentai, and said, "Lord Zhentai, the last general will take the first step!"
"Be careful on the road and don't fall into an ambush again. โ
"No!" Counselor Li's face was stern, the previous Hang'er Langdang was completely replaced by the slaughter at this moment, although the group of soldiers he brought was not elite, and they came to quell the chaos this time to make a fortune, but they were beaten by a few townsmen on the head, and they couldn't swallow this breath if they were soldiers.
The brigade of people and horses drove to Beixiang, and the anger of avenging the brothers before the snow filled everyone's hearts, and Zhou Zhentai followed behind the large army without hurry, and he was quite emotional in his heart. These soldiers full of warlike spirit finally have a soldier's appearance, it seems that these soldiers are not bears, but lack of excitement.
However, is this ambush too loud? How can there be such a big ambush for fear that others will not know? Thinking of the waving Duanzi flag, Zhou Zhentai had more and more questions in his heart. However, the purpose of his trip was only to calm the chaos, and he didn't want to get involved in the bad things in Qingjiang County, so even if he had questions, he didn't ask, but silently pressed them in his heart.
With the encouragement of General Li, the officers and men marched extremely fast, and before the time was noon, they rushed to the outskirts of Beixiang. As soon as he arrived in Beixiang, he felt an eerie tranquility, and General Li raised his hand and signaled the large army to stop advancing.
"General, something is wrong!" Yu Baihu pulled over to General Li and whispered.
"Hmm. General Li nodded solemnly, at this moment they were already very close to Beixiang, but at noon, the doors of Beixiang were closed, and there was no smoke or smell of chickens and dogs, just like an empty city. Where does such a scene look like what a bustling town should look like?
"Are they all hiding?" Yu Baihu wondered.
"You mean they got the news in advance?" General Li's eyes narrowed dangerously, he raised his hand and gestured, and then a commander followed.
"Li Er, take a few brothers into the village to explore!"
"Yes!" the commander took the order and entered the village with a few good men. Riding horses and carrying spears, they first tentatively opened the door of a house, but when they saw that the gate was open, they went from house to house, but there was no one.
The commander's expression changed, and he led people to pry open the doors of several houses, and found that there was no trace of each family.
"Report to the general, there is no one in these few houses where the little ones go!"
"Where did that person go?" said General Li suspiciously.
The commander looked embarrassed, how did he know where everyone had gone?
Just thinking about it, a bright light flashed in General Li's heart, and suddenly thought of the stone rain on the cliff, he slapped his head and shouted: "Not good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of people rushing out of the grass not far away, armed with homemade spears, long knives, and rattan shields in their hands, glaring hatefully at the officers and soldiers who had come to harass their territory.
"Who are you?" asked General Li in a cold voice as he threw his panic aside.
"Who are you?" "Who are you?" led by a young junior, wearing a turban and a suit of rattan armor.
"What qualifications do you have to question the name of this general?" General Li looked at him condescendingly, and said: "Put down the weapons in your hands and surrender quickly! Otherwise, don't blame the spear in my hand for not having long eyes!"
"Our villagers are all good citizens who have no quarrel with the world, I don't know why the general led troops to my Beixiang to harass me, and uninvited to break open the door of my Beixiang villagers?"
"I will come to quell the chaos on the orders of Fujian according to the order of the inspector Zhou Daren, and if you surrender, if you still quibble, you will be waiting for you with knives and guns!"
"In!"
"Take down these ignorant villagers, and if you resist, you will be killed!"
"No!"
The sound of neatly responding to the promise shook the world, and several villagers were stunned, and their courage was a little timid.
"Brothers, think about our silver mountain, think about our wives and children, these dog officials are here to smash our jobs, if we retreat at this time, how will we live in the future?" Seeing the different faces of several people, the young junior stood forward, picked up his gun and stabbed at the officers and soldiers.
"I think you're impatient!" "General Li is also a middle-level general, where can a nobody be so provocative, seeing the young junior rushing up, he shouted at Yu Baihu: "Yu Wei, go to war!"
"No!" Yu Baihu was waiting for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and where would Yijie Xiangyong be his opponent of the hereditary Baihu, he promised and urged the horse to rush forward with a long knife.
What Yu Baihu didn't expect was that the young descendant was not a simple character, I saw that he was vigorous, with a spear like a dragon, and the gun stabbed at the key point of Yu Baihu at will. Yu Baihu was so angry in his heart that he scolded his mother, his mother was really poor and bad, obviously a simple task for officers and soldiers to bully the villagers, but the boat overturned in the gutter, and until now, the officers and soldiers are still at a disadvantage!
With the descendants charging ahead, the courage of the villagers was re-energized, only to see them waving spears, rushing forward without scruples, General Li saw that this group of people was so ignorant, his eyes were red, and he shouted: "Surround it, leave no mouth!"
"No!"
After all, the villagers are a minority, and General Li's subordinates only sent a few squads to surround the villagers, and there is any suspense among the 100 people against a dozen people, and in the blink of an eye, those villagers were injured and faced the fate of being completely annihilated.
General Li's face finally looks better, let you old hats rebel! If it falls into the hands of my Li Yaozu, you will definitely have no return!
The two sides were fighting fiercely, and seeing that more than a dozen people were about to be hacked to death with random knives, at this moment, the sound of a horn suddenly came to mind on a big tree closest to the officers and soldiers.
Woo woo - the sharp sound of the mountain col.
General Li Shen looked intently and found that there were still a few people hidden in a hundred-year-old tree, and just when he was about to shoot down a few trumpeters with a bow and arrow, a group of people and horses suddenly poured out from the col not far from Beixiang, these people were young and strong, some were old and weak, some of them were holding wooden sticks, some were holding hoes, and they rushed out from all directions like a tide.
In the blink of an eye, General Li's men and horses were surrounded by water.
"What are you going to do?" asked General Li by holding his horse's head and shouting.
He was met with silence, mixed with angry silence. Looking at the accusatory eyes of the villagers, General Li Shen quietly swallowed his saliva and bluffed: "Don't think that you can threaten General Ben with too many people!"
As soon as the words fell, I heard a loud laugh not far away: "In this way, the general doesn't want to talk to us?"
With this loud laughter, the crowd around the officers and soldiers gradually parted a gap, and an old man with a gray beard slowly walked out of the crowd.
"Who is you?" General Li squinted, looking at the old man with an unkind gaze.
"The old man is not talented, and the big boss of the Beixiang Silver Kiln Federation is also. Duan Guangrong was not afraid of General Li's momentum and replied loudly.
"You are Duan Guangrong?"
"Exactly. โ
"Hmph!" General Li snorted coldly and said, "The villagers of a mountain village in a mere boundary dare to put up a stinky shelf in front of this general!
"No!"
Seeing those soldiers rushing up, Duan Guangrong's face changed, and he said loudly: "General, slow down!"
"Stay!"
"No!"
"Duan Lao'er, what's the matter?" said General Li contemptuously.
Duan Guangrong quietly stared at General Li and did not speak, General Li sneered and said, "What's the matter?" "Hmph!" Duan Guangrong raised his head and slowly clapped his hands twice, and after two sounds, the two county government secretaries with ragged clothes and haggard faces staggered out.
General Li's face changed when he boarded.
Duan Guangrong saw that his expression changed, his face was proud, and he asked loudly, "Could it be that the general doesn't even care about their lives?"
"You!" Li Shen gritted his teeth and gurgled his teeth, and he glared at Duan Guangrong viciously and said, "Good old man, you are such a slut!"
"The general is angry," Duan Guangrong clenched his fists with both hands, and his tone was unusually kind, "The old man just wants to talk to the general." โ
"What are you talking about? Duan Guangrong, what do you want to talk about with General Li?" Seeing that General Li was encircled by the villagers of Beixiang, and Liu Dianshi, who was following behind from afar, was also anxious, could it be that Governor Xiao's misjudgment and Duan Guangrong was really going to rebel? He rode his horse and squeezed in with a small drum in his heart.
"It turned out to be Liu Dianshi, don't come unharmed!" Seeing Liu Dianshi come in, Duan Guangrong smiled.
"Don't drag the text with Lao Tzu, you actually led people to surround the officers and soldiers, you are crazy!" Liu Dianshi yelled at him angrily.
"Liu Tianxiu, what do you mean by this?" Duan Guangrong smiled and accused in a low voice: "Didn't you say that the army would not come to Beixiang? Look at these ruffians, banging on my door, bullying my villagers, if I didn't organize the villagers, this place would have been leveled by officers and soldiers a long time ago!"
"The officers and soldiers are just here to make a show," Liu Dianshi took a few steps closer, and said while wincing: "As long as you hand over the prisoners and kowtow to sincerity, you will naturally be safe!"
"Are you sure?"
"What's in it for me if you make trouble?" Liu Dianshi's forehead was sweating down, this old bastard must not make any mistakes!
"You ......" Duan Guangrong hesitated, he didn't know the bottom of his heart when he didn't see Liu Dianshi before, after all, the situation of the army pressing the border was unknown, and he couldn't figure out what Liu Dianshi and the one above meant, if he was captured, it was just a dead end, but he also knew the consequences of confronting the officers and soldiers, even if all the villagers could get away with it in the end, he Duan Guangrong's head would still be unsafe.
The only thing I can rely on is the promise of the person behind Liu Dianshi. But from yesterday to now, he has not waited for news from the city, and Duan Guangrong, who was confused in his heart, has no idea, and in the end, it was the words of his adopted son Duan Wenrui that inspired him.
"Godfather, no matter what the real purpose of those officers and soldiers is, we can't weaken our momentum, now we have prisoners in our hands, and more than a thousand villagers are brave to help, even if the army of the imperial court comes, we will not necessarily suffer. Duan Wenrui persuaded.
"But that's the army of the imperial court!" Duan Guangrong walked around the room with his hands behind his back, becoming more and more undecided.
"What are the imperial court's troops afraid of, have you forgotten the smuggling of salt in Zhejiang that year? The imperial court's army was beaten to pieces by the common people, and in the end, it was over. Duan Wenrui's words made Duan Guangrong's eyes light up, but no, there was a precedent in Zhejiang before, and it makes no sense that the villagers he โกโก are not as powerful as the people of Zhejiang!
"Godfather, when the time comes, let's hold on to the imperial court's army, won't we increase the bargaining chips in the negotiation?" Duan Wenrui looked at Duan Guangrong's face, and kept leading him on the road to confront the officers and soldiers.
"But ......"
"Godfather, don't forget, the second boss is still in that person's hands!"
Duan Guangrong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized the strict nature of the problem, what did he put so much effort to get the second child in? Isn't it for his grandson to succeed him? But if this battle fails, then not only will his own life be difficult to protect, but his grandson's life and future will also be gone.
"Didn't you promise to get the control of Nanxiang and Beixiang Silver Kilns? If you can't do it, ......" Duan Wenrui said halfway through his words, then changed the topic with a smile, "Look where I said, godfather, we didn't really fight with the officers and soldiers, just make a show to them, as long as the momentum overpowers them, won't we have the upper hand in the negotiation?"
"This ......" Duan Guangrong moved.
"Godfather, even if it's not for yourself, you have to think about the little master!"
This sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Okay!" Duan Guangrong slapped the table fiercely, and said with a bright eye: "Wen Rui, pass on my order!
"Master Duan, have you thought about it?" Seeing Duan Guangrong's brows frowning slightly, as if he was caught in the battle between heaven and man, Liu Dianshi couldn't help but urge anxiously.
Duan Guangrong came back to his senses, glanced at Liu Dianshi with a deep gaze, and said, "Are you sure you can protect me?"
"What is this saying, you don't believe me, you still don't believe it...... Who is that?" Liu Dianshi's voice became lower and lower, and finally he simply came to Duan Guangrong's side and persuaded in a low voice: "That one is still waiting to get rich!"
Duan Guangrong finally put his mind at ease at this moment, it seems that his deal with that person has not changed from beginning to end. Thinking of this, he laughed loudly, slapped Liu Dianshi on the shoulder, and said loudly: "That is the case, that paragraph is ......."
Before the words fell, with a whoosh, a feather arrow flew in the air, โกโก straight into Liu Dianshi's head with the momentum of ten thousand people.
"Uh, you......" Liu Dianshi's eyes widened, and he glared at Duan Guangrong deadly, and before he could say more, he fell down with a pop.
"Liu Dianshi?" Duan Guangrong touched the blood splashed on his face, and said in disbelief.
"Liu Dianshi!" Yu Baihu shouted loudly and said loudly to General Li: "General, the rebels shot the imperial court officials!"
"It's not me, it's not me!" Duan Guangrong heard his shout, and angrily defended.
"That's him!"
"This is obviously an arrow of the imperial court!" Duan Guangrong pointed to the arrow on Liu Dianshi's head and shouted loudly.
"Brothers, those dog officials framed us and killed them to eliminate harm for the people!" The two sides were arguing, and suddenly a roar came from the back of the crowd.
"Yes! Kill these โกโก!"
The villagers in Beixiang gradually began to commotion, and Duan Guangrong yelled angrily: "Shut up for me!"
But just as he was shouting, a feather arrow flew diagonally again, and Duan Guangrong's eyes were quick, and his short body escaped a catastrophe.
Seeing the attack on the big boss, the villagers who were in turmoil were completely boiling, and they roared angrily and rushed into the camp of the officers and soldiers with wooden sticks and hoes, and fought with real knives and guns.
"Wen Rui, where are you?!" Duan Guangrong roared in the scuffle.
Hiding behind the crowd, Fujijia Housheng heard his call, smiled coldly, dropped the bow and arrow in his hand, picked up his spear and rushed into the crowd of fighting.
