Chapter 40: Crushed until the general surrenders
At the moment when the battle on the sea reached its climax, the battle on land, after Ling Zhigao of the Haisha Gang led more than 10,000 men and horses to successfully force the giant ship of the Dongming faction away, then turned straight down. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because, Li Qin entered the city.
"Maoshan is a nest to enter the city!"
"Jurong Qinglong is looking for the city!"
"Xuancheng Marshal has entered the city!"
"Sui'an is as fierce as a tiger entering the city!"
……
One after another shouts rang out in the dark night.
Borrowing their respective bandits, they entered Maoshan Town and Xuancheng Town in Yuhang City, and as soon as they entered, they divided their troops into three routes, one way to control the key points of the government in Yuhang City, and all the way to block the camp of the defenders of Yuhang City, and the other way to insert Ling Zhigao's back obliquely, and fiercely beat Ling Zhigao's chrysanthemum.
The government and the officers and soldiers had never thought that someone would take advantage of the battle between the Haisha Gang and the Dongming faction in Yuhang City tonight.
Waiting for the chaotic night to pass in the barracks of their respective government offices, they were caught off guard by the surprise of Maoshan Town and Xuancheng Town.
Fortunately, the people of the two towns had been instructed by Li Qin in advance to understand the purpose of Li Qin's trip. Therefore, after suppressing the government office and killing one or two officials who really had no eyesight, they only blocked the government and the official army in their respective official office barracks, and did not kill them.
Instead, he said in front of them that he was here for the Haisha Gang this time, and he didn't want to be an enemy of the government. As long as the Haisha Gang is defeated, they will withdraw from the city.
All the people in the government were watched, and the bright swords and guns were around them, and even if they didn't believe the words of the people of the two towns, there was no better way. It's just a strong prayer that these heroes from Maoshan, Jurong, Xuancheng, Sui'an and other places can keep their promises and retreat according to the agreement after killing the Haisha Gang.
Man is a sword, I am a fish.
A group of high-ranking officials were bullied by a group of bandits, and they had no power to resist, so they didn't talk about the grievances in their hearts.
As for whether they will complain about the heavens and the people while they are aggrieved, and while blaming these bandits, they will also hate the officials of Danyang, Xuancheng, and Wu County, and investigate their responsibility for beggar-thy-neighbor, that is not something that Li Qin has to consider.
In this era, there may be some people who have no power behind the common people, but there are definitely not many. This is an era when the gate lord surname is extremely powerful, and every official is basically supported by a series of forces behind him.
If these officials of Yuhang County broke out like this, it was foreseeable that another huge officialdom storm would break out in the south of the Yangtze River.
However, this should have nothing to do with Li Qin.
At present, Li Qinzheng is taking the lead in bursting Ling Zhigao's chrysanthemums.
As the boss of Maoshan Town and Xuancheng Town, he led Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong to join the surprise attack team after showing the token representing his "identity" to the sergeants who raided the back of the Haisha Gang.
The knife is raised, and the knife light is swayed!
Li Qin stepped forward and passed over the headless corpse that was still spurting blood.
At the beginning of the real attack, Li Qin did not play anything vain. Rather, as a fierce general, he fulfills his duty to kill the enemy in battle.
Just drove all the way, no one was his own general, leading Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong, Li Qin ruthlessly tore a hole in Ling Zhigao's back.
Blood paved the way for Li Qin to move forward. The soldiers under Li Qin's command immediately rushed forward, and the dense and neat military formation was further pulled by Li Qin's tear opening.
Swift attacks, neat movements, and cold killings, the offensive of these regular soldiers under Li Qin was beyond the reach of the thugs of the Haisha Gang, who were more faceless than the rabble.
When the swords flashed like snow, and the rows of gangs were cut down like wheat, the morale of the people of the Sea Sand Gang quickly slipped from the peak to the abyss.
In less than a quarter of an hour of fighting, the overall situation of the Haisha Gang collapsed.
"Officers and soldiers are coming! Officers and soldiers are here to destroy us! The Seasand Gang wailed loudly and fled.
At this time, the protector of the Haisha Gang, Ling Zhigao, who was appointed by the gang leader Han Gaitian as the "two-gun general" who commanded the entire land war, did not know what had happened.
He just felt like his defense was in disarray, and then the collapse happened.
"What's going on? Enemy...... Where is the enemy? Ling Zhigao was stunned.
"After ...... Behind...... It's the official army! Zhang Huang listened to the chaotic shouts in the distance in a panic, and told Ling Zhigao an answer that surprised him.
"Officers and soldiers? Didn't we already make an agreement with them? Tonight's officers and soldiers will stay in the barracks. Ling Zhigao was puzzled.
He wondered, but soon there was no need to wonder.
Because the sharp edge composed of Li Qin and Shuanglong had already penetrated the back of the Haisha Gang and appeared in front of Ling Zhigao.
Enemy!?
Ling Zhigao realized the identity of the comer.
"Is that you?" An exclamation sounded beside Ling Zhigao.
Ling Zhigao turned his head to see that the person who exclaimed was Tan Yong, the deputy helmsman of Yuhang's rudder.
"You know them?" Ling Zhigao frowned slightly.
"I ...... at the dock a few days ago," Tan Yong said, bowing his head.
What happened at the dock three days ago, Tan Yong felt very faceless, and he was reluctant to mention it. Because that's his shame.
But now he had to say it, because the person on the other side was the enemy he had encountered that day.
"Oh!" Ling Zhigao understood a little, he nodded, and did not ask more carefully.
Because something more careful doesn't help at all at the moment.
The hostility of the other side is so obvious that the two sides can no longer live in peace, so what more can we say?
Let's go straight to the battle!
Ling Zhigao roared angrily, the two short guns in his hands were in his hands, his body shook, and he flew towards Li Qin with the remnants of the Dao Dao.
And Tao Yong, who followed him, led his martial arts to branch the hall master Leng Qiu, and his two henchmen greeted Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong.
The five of them fought together in two battles.
Ling Zhigao had never met Li Qin, and had only heard of his terrible from the mouths of his subordinates. But he knew that his subordinates would basically exaggerate the enemy by shirking the responsibility for the defeat.
As for whether the other party is really that powerful, Ling Zhigao still has doubts in his heart.
However, he also knows the truth that the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength.
As soon as he approached Li Qin, he shook out a spear shadow like a pear blossom, and showed his mastery - "Eighteen Shots to Kill You".
The spear was sharp, the shadow of the gun was dense, and the roar of the Dao Dao like a ghost crying wolf exploded at the same time as the shadow of the gun cracked in the air, and the sharp whistling was in Li Qin's ears.
Li Qin looked at it intently, and noticed that Ling Zhigao's pistol skills were good.
But see, between the voids, the two spears stabbed, and the strong force pierced the void, causing a slight ripple in the air, as if countless fine bubbles collapsed in the air, which looked strange and weird.
"Not bad!" Li Qin praised in his mouth: "Although he still walks the path of intertwining the virtual and the real, confusing people's ears and eyes with false tricks, and attacking the enemy's key points with real tricks, the fact that the virtual and the real can be arbitrarily converted has already shown that this set of martial arts is not bad." It's just that you can't take me like this! ”
Before Li Qin's words fell, the hand holding the handle of the knife slammed upward, and a silver knife light flashed, bringing a rolling knife qi like a great river to sweep towards Ling Zhigao.
The blade is sharp and the knife is sharp. The waves that rolled up in the long river of sword qi turned into bloody mouths that swallowed Ling Zhigao's gun shadow and annihilated it.
Under the blow, Ling Zhigao's spear shadow suddenly collapsed, whether it was a false move or a real move, it was completely cracked under Li Qin's knife.
This was not the end, because the long knife in Li Qin's hand did not stop after shattering his spear shadow.
Ling Zhigao only felt a dazzling cold light come into his eyes, and then he felt a biting cold wind pass through his body, and a lot of things were swept away from his side in a trance.
"What's going on?" Ling Zhigao was shocked, and then felt that a sharp edge had been placed on his neck.
"Am I defeated?" Ling Zhigao's heart was like ashes, he muttered his head down, and saw his already unclothed body.
"I'm defeated!" Ling Zhigao realized this, and as soon as he let go of his hands, the two short guns in his hands fell to the dust, and a crisp sound sounded.
Ling Zhigao accepted his fate.
The soldiers under Li Qin's command immediately stepped forward, tied him up, and shouted to the four directions: "Your boss has been arrested by us, your defeat is decided, what else are you going to resist?" ”
yes, what else to rebel against?
The boss is not an opponent, let alone us little minions?
Surrender! Anyway, who is the boss with, isn't it?
The minions suddenly lost their will to fight, and one after another they dropped the weapons in their hands, gathered under the coercion of the sergeants under Li Qin, and were taken aside.
The die is cast.
The Seasand Gang no longer has the ability to resist.
and Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong, Tao Yong, and Leng Qiu, who were fighting fiercely, were anxious first. They glanced at each other, and even Shi forced Xu Ziling and the others to retreat, so they wanted to break through to the port, intending to escape by water, but they didn't want to be looked at by Li Qin.
Li Qin snorted coldly and casually threw out a scabbard in his hand.
Only to hear a whining sound, the scabbard with a sharp roar against the ground and struck at the ankles of the two.
Smack, a crunch!
After that, there was another crispy sound that was exactly the same!
I saw Tao Yong and Leng Qiu suddenly fall on the spot, and while splashing a cloud of smoke and dust, they hugged together like a gourd rolling on the ground.
Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong were overjoyed when they saw this, and hurriedly rushed forward to take off the heads of the two.
They carried the head of the blood drop to Li Qin, thinking that Li Qin would praise them, but they didn't want Li Qin to look at the way they were carrying their heads, so he shook his head lightly: "It's a pity!" ”
"What?" Xu Ziling was puzzled.
"These two people still have some kung fu, they are only the middle level of the Haisha Gang, and how much loyalty they have to the Haisha Gang remains to be studied. I struck them down with my scabbard, hoping that you would force them to persuade them, but I did not want you to be so fast...... Alas! Li Qin sighed and shook his head helplessly.
"Master, one of these two is the hall master and the other is the helmsman, both of whom have vested interests in the Haisha Gang, don't you tell us that all vested interests are the defenders of existing interests? We want to change the interests of the present, not to overthrow them. In that case, it's normal for us to kill them. Kou Zhong muttered in retort.
"Those with vested interests, some big ones, some small ones, such as helpers, Dharma protectors, and the like at the top, are extremely difficult to change.
The helmsman and hall master are the middle level of the gang, and they enjoy both the worship from the lower levels and the exploitation from the upper classes.
I think if I can give them some education, I can still lead them to change. Li Qin whispered to them.
"Then we didn't kill them, right?" Kou Zhong was a little sullen.
"It's not completely wrong, it depends on the situation." Li Qin said thoughtfully.
"What's the situation?" Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong are humble and studious.
"Time, energy...... If the time and energy are sufficient, and we can suppress them, it is natural to focus on education. ”
Li Qin said and looked at them seriously:
"Remember, we're going to fight for the world. In the end, this process is all about fighting a civil war, and it is your own people who kill your own people. Therefore, the killing should never be excessive.
The key to a country's ability to be called a country is its citizens. The loss of the national population undoubtedly represents the loss of national strength, and the loss of national strength will inevitably lead to the invasion of foreign enemies.
If you are backward, you will be beaten, and there are not so many benevolence, righteousness and morality in the world, so it is right to treat your own people with your heart, rule them with the holy way, and show the royal way and domineering to the outside world. ”
"I see, Jin has been taught!" Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong hurriedly threw away the head in their hands and thanked Li Qin.
The battle was over, and the Haisha Gang was completely defeated. Nearly 20,000 gangsters in Hangzhou were disarmed, and Li Qin disarmed.
Under the custody of Li Qin's army, they carried the salt bags from the salt warehouse in the city and the goods and materials from the various strongholds of the Haisha Gang in the city to the outside of the city, hid in the Phoenix Mountain, and withdrew their troops according to the agreement, and returned Yuhang City to the officials and guards who were in the wine bags and rice bags.
This was already three days after the Battle of Watergate at Full Moon.
Although it was delayed for three days, as this group of thieves was able to retreat according to the agreement, the officials and generals in Yuhang City were still happy.
After that, they were surprised to find that the Haisha gang in the city was much thinner and more elite, although they were still doing their previous business, it seemed that they were a little different from before:
None of the middle and high-level members of the Haisha Gang, who were familiar to the officials of Yuhang County, were gone. The Haisha Gang of Yuhang's rudder is now in charge of Fu Zhong and Fu Ling. With their good force and elite gangs, they firmly controlled the salt warehouse of the wharf.
After the news that the Haisha Gang was defeated by the Dongming faction and the whereabouts of the gang leader were unknown in the north, the officials of Yuhang County also thought about directly bullying the door and completely solving the remnants of this group of Haisha Gang, but before they could make a move, they received a warning from outside the city - a letter paper with a dagger appeared directly in the lobby of the Yuhang County Guardhouse, and the news of large-scale bandit activities came from outside the city.
It turned out that Li Qin ordered Maoshan Town and Xuancheng Town to leave 1,000 soldiers and horses each, and selected suitable gangs from the original Haisha gang to form a new Yuhang Town.
After the Battle of Watergate, the men and horses of Yuhang Town established a lot of camps in the surrounding areas such as Phoenix Mountain, Qinglong Mountain, and Tianzhu Mountain. They obeyed the orders of Fu Zhong and Fu Ling, and secretly controlled everything in Yuhang City.
In Yuhangcheng, after Li Qin left some resources and manpower, he handed them over to Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong to practice.
And Li Qin himself hurriedly caught up with Piaoxiang after receiving a message.
