Chapter 202: Exorcism of Ghosts
Jin Zhaoyi has been waiting for Jiang Hua, who spit foil, but he is like a kite with a broken string, and there is no news. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
She was very anxious, the country of Tufoil was at war, and the powerful Hess Dynasty was at war on the southern border, although the war had not yet spread to the interior of Tuf, maybe Jiang Hua would be killed by the rogue soldiers.
At the same time, she also wants to respect and get rid of fishing.
However, Jiang Hua had no intention of returning to the Black Magpie Country at all.
On the other hand, in Shibao County, the border of Jinliang and Tufang, Fang Hongyi was the first to take office as a county lieutenant with 500 elite soldiers allocated by Cao Bingkun.
Shibao County is located in the southwest border of Jinliang, an almost deserted county government, a master led a few weak officials out to greet him.
After asking, I learned that the previous county official had escaped with a seal, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and the former county lieutenant was also killed in the suburbs after being robbed by bandits when he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors.
Fang Hongyi brought the soldiers he brought, and the few remaining soldiers in Shibao County, You Yong, managed to gather enough 700 people. Cao Bingkun's subordinates had a lot of combat experience, and they led those half-men to step up their training and formation.
The bandits of Lama Mountain seem to come down the mountain maybe, but there is still a certain pattern, autumn is the harvest season, they are waiting for the grain to fill the warehouse, the cattle and sheep are the fattest, and the green grass is stacked into a towering fodder to stomp.
In the past, after they burned and looted a few times, they didn't kill much, and who did they rob if there was no one? Without money, they can't paddle down the mountain. They offered to let the villagers make timely offerings, money, women, grain, livestock...... They demand excessively, and their greed fills the bottomless pit of discontent.
What made Fang Hongyi puzzled was that since they had occupied the upper peak, why didn't they occupy the county seat of Shibao and defend Lama Mountain, which was a group of robbers who were not enterprising?
Coincidentally, the master is actually their own family, also surnamed Fang, a shriveled little old man.
He analyzed that Lama Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. They returned to the mountain is equivalent to drilling into the fortress, the Qingzhou Thorn Shi Yin who was stationed in Shibao Chengguan a year ago, led 30,000 elite soldiers to encircle and suppress, and actually fell into an ambush, killed and wounded 5,000 soldiers, and returned defeated. Fortunately, he concealed the number of casualties, otherwise, the position of assassin would not have been guaranteed. I think that although those bandits won, there must have been casualties, so they are not as arrogant as before.
After cultivating for a while, the bandits are now making a comeback, this time, Yin Youcheng's father, Yin Can, the commander of the Hannan Province, wrote to the imperial court, planning to abandon the county town and move the people to Guannei.
But this county is surrounded by mountains, warm in winter and cool in summer, abundant rain, the four seasons are not very distinct, it is really a treasure of feng shui, because it is close to the border, it is larger than the normal two counties, this guard can not be kept, it is a pity to abandon it......
Fang Hongyi: You have been analyzing for a long time, why don't bandits occupy such a good place?
"I'm not a bandit, how do I know? Can you not hold the jar and pour it? In terms of seniority, I'm still your uncle! ā
Master Fang finally couldn't help it, and the people in the court were all dead? Sending a drunkard to be a county lieutenant is more troublesome than the former county lieutenant who was killed by bandits, and sending a county magistrate who simply doesn't pay attention to his face, which is worse than the former county magistrate who ran away!
"Oh, uncle, such a nice place, why don't they ......" Gooo......oo
"Don't you understand such an obvious truth? They occupy this place and have to bother to govern, how good it is to rob, there is no need to be reasonable, even a sentence I opened this mountain, this tree was planted by me, I want to pass by here, leave ......" He suddenly stopped.
Turning back to the officer, they never seem to have said anything like this, huh?
The official shook his head, he had never made any contact with them...... Perhaps all who have heard their voices have seen Hades.
Fang Hongyi said before he got drunk: I have heard ......
The sky in the stone castle is always a little gray blue, and it looks like it is going to rain at any time.
In the distance, the fortress of Lama Mountain, which is not high, is strong, and the entrance of the oval lookout cave is like the eye of a demon in hell. Look down at the silent lamb below.
This time, the bandits seem to have changed their strategy, after all, sheep are fattened and killed to have meat. They're waiting......
The largest mule and horse grain trading market in the west of the county is like a ghost market, like a ghost, silently, irregularly, in the middle of the night to do business, just dawn and early to disperse.
I don't know when there are so many people who are not afraid of robbery and death, and they start trading in broad daylight.
Driving mules, horses, cattle, sheep, camels, pushing grain carts, fruits and vegetables, more and more people, you buy and I sell, stretch out your hand and bargain silently in your sleeves, look at it from a distance, it is quite prosperous, and the villagers who are bold also join in the fun.
After ten days and eight days of peace, the number of people gradually increased.
Suddenly, a yellow storm swept over the horses in the distance, and an uneasy cloud hung over the entire county.
I don't know who shouted: The bandits are coming!
Everyone scattered and fled, the villagers ran for their lives, the grain and vegetables were scattered all over the ground, the cattle, sheep, mules and horses did not have time to take them away, they circled around the same place, and a group of beggars who were about to starve to death, seeing this opportunity, desperately hugged the wheat on the ground and put it into their ragged pockets, and there was a great chaos for a while.
Those bandits were all wrapped in red scarves on their heads, and the scimitars in their hands were bright, and in the blink of an eye, the horses came to the front, and without saying a word, they cut down when they saw people, and their movements were as fast as the wind.
This is what they are used to, every time they cut these unarmed, whirling people feel bored, those frightened paralyzed on the ground and can't get up, they think it's better than pigs and dogs, what is the point of trampling an ant to death.
But wandering thinking became the fatal cause of their defeat, and the frightened villagers took out their shiny weapons from all sorts of strange places, wheelbarrows, haystacks, pyre, horses, cattle, sheep, and camels.
The bandits only came with 700 people, and because they underestimated the enemy, they had no intention of notifying the backup, so they didn't even have the signal arrows with them.
Villagers, no, such skills are not called villagers, the enemy is obviously prepared, they are obviously fishing, and when the bandits understand this truth, it is too late, even people and horses are tripped by special hooks, and they have no time to turn over, they are stabbed and fell, blood is splashed, and the heads of horses and heads fly together. The attack is neat and clean, more ruthless than bandits. After a massacre, 700 bandits were strewn through the streets, staining the streets red.
Master Fang no longer dared to underestimate his drunkard nephew.
But he knelt on the ground in fright: it's over! This place will be slaughtered!
Someone suggested that the corpse be destroyed immediately, but Fang Hongyi disagreed, he ordered, everyone withdrew to the county office, the county government is full of organs, as long as the favorable terrain is occupied, it is not a problem to deal with the enemy for a few days, but he failed to follow Jiang Hua's instructions, let him stand still, he can't watch those beasts scourge the people, burn, kill and loot, ** women.
But impulsiveness comes at a price. After all, he hasn't even figured out how many bandits there are in Lama Mountain, he only knows that there are a lot of them, otherwise five years ago, none of his thirty subordinates escaped, and he didn't pretend to be dead, but his heart was not in the same position as others.
How good he scolded, because among the thirty people who died, there was his own brother, and he cried after scolding...... (To be continued) (To be continued.) )
