Chapter 69: Killing the Thief

Yuncheng's baked cakes are not delicious, Yun Zheng took a bite and threw them down, the dead cakes are as hard as kraft candy, they can't be torn off with their teeth, and the young man's teeth can't deal with this kind of baked cakes, and the old Bao Zheng is particularly tragic when he tears this kind of baked cake with few teeth.

Yun Zheng, who really couldn't stand it, sighed and said: "A porridge and a meal were not easy to come by back then, and it makes sense to think about the difficulty of material resources at a glance, but it is not cost-effective to lose your teeth for this, you still eat some fish here, it tastes good, but the fishy smell is heavier, but at least it can ensure the safety of your teeth." ”

Lao Bao really couldn't deal with the baked cake in his hand, so he sighed and threw down the baked cake and said: "I think back then, when the old man was in his hometown in Luzhou, he liked to knock iron broad beans the most, but now he can't deal with a baked cake, it seems that it's time to say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown." ”

A little Ersheng, who was more angry than General Yunlu and the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, glanced at the two earthen buns in front of him, took the baked cakes from the table, took out a knife and chopped the cakes in three or two strokes, and then poured them into the fish soup, signaling the two earthen buns to use slowly.

Bao Zheng glanced at Yun Zheng and said, "It seems that this cake is not eaten with teeth?" ”

Xiao Er interjected on the side: "Two guest officers, this is the signature dish of the shop, called "Fish Cake", when eating, chop it with a knife, and then soak it in fish soup to soften, the cake is full of fish soup, the most delicious ......"

Yun Zheng stared at Xiao Er angrily, eager to kill this guy, if today's scandal spreads, his reputation as a pseudo-gourmand will be gone.

Xiao Er couldn't stand General Yun's terrifying aura, and bowed down.

Bao Zheng took a small piece of soaked soft cake and stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite and said: "The taste is really good, the truth in this world is actually figured out, just like this cake is the same, I can't bite it for a while, take the fish soup to bubble." You can easily eat it.

Yunhou, the old man is still behind you, what is the purpose of driving the bandits in Shandong to the sky and the earth? When the old man traveled all the way through the state. In those state capitals, when he saw the heads of thieves hanging on the city gates, he knew that Yun Hou had gained a lot from this hunt, but he didn't know why Bai Yunhou drove all the remaining bandits to the motor. Where is Zhang Qing going?

Others are trying to divide and annihilate the bandits, does Yunhou want to finish his work in one battle? ”

Yun Zheng also ate a piece of cake, the fishy smell made people vomit, and he quickly spit it out and rinsed his mouth with water, and then said: "Divide and annihilate it, that is a sign of weak strength, I gathered all the thieves together, I was worried that those thieves would not die, according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, there is a division of the thieves." The leader is beheaded, and the servant migrates.

It is said that the thief's heart does not change, and the exile of these people to the army is an unstable factor, so let them gather to the motor, and all the men under Zhang Qing will become traitors, so that there is no scruple in killing! ”

Bao Zheng was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Could it be that those rumors are true?" The general's murderous intent can't be suppressed, and he has to kill every once in a while, and this counterinsurgency is just to vent his murder*? ”

Yun Zheng nodded irritably and said, "That's true, when I was a teenager, I was determined to drink the blood of the Huns and eat the Hulu head hungry. Now that there is no war in the four realms of the Great Song Dynasty, it is really annoying! You can only practice with these traitors. ”

Bao Zheng pondered the tone of his speech, and then said slowly: "But Zou Cheng has gathered no less than 2,000 bandits now. How did the general kill him with one blow? ”

"Tomorrow's siege, you just have to watch the battle from behind!" Yun Zheng slapped the table, and Wei Ling was full of joy.

Zou Cheng was known as "Zou Lu Holy Land" in ancient times, and is located in the southeast of Shandong. There are outstanding people here, heroes and sages, there are three generations of good mothers who choose neighbors and teach children off the machine - Mengmu, and there are Confucian sub-sages who are praised as "merit is not under Yu" - Mencius......

A well-known city has now become a miasma, more than 200 bandits in this small city rape and plunder all kinds of evil, Ma, the four generals under the command of Zhang Qing. He even led those rebellious soldiers to kill all the rich and poor in Zou City under the slogan of equal wealth and poverty. The poor families were forced to take the food and utensils from the rich families, and prepared to tie the people of the city to their chariots. This technique is necessary after every rebellion, and it has proved to be very effective.

Motor, Zhang Qing's comfortable days did not last long, countless bandits came to Zou Cheng to ask to join the rebellion team, at the beginning, they thought that this was a sign that their great event was about to be accomplished, and began to increase the number of bandits entering the city, but the heart of Motor and Zhang Qing was constantly sinking, for no other reason, just because those thieves were brought over by Yun Zheng.

As a forbidden army and a motor, how could Zhang Qing not know who Yun Zheng was, they never imagined that they would fight against this legendary killer demon king at the beginning of the incident......

Ma Da stood on the city wall, looking at the cavalry that kept appearing in the field outside the city, worried, those wolf-like cavalry, in the shortest possible time has cleared the sentinels they sent outside the city, the outside of the city is full of the corpses of those thieves who were dragged to death by the war horses in the spring exuding a strong putrid smell, now, no bandit dares to step out of Zou City.

"We're dead, big brother! The Murder King is going to lock Zou Cheng and not allow us to go out of the city. Zhang Qing has long lost the bravery he had shown when he got into trouble, and his red eyes, messy hair, and mouth full of wine proved that his spirit had collapsed.

Seeing Zhang Qing coming, Ma Ma patted Zhang Qing's shoulder with a smile and said, "Can the wife and daughter of the county still satisfy you?" ”

Zhang Qing cracked his mouth and smiled: "It's worth it, Lao Tzu is a cheap life, even if he dies here, it's worth it." ”

Ma Ma nodded and said: "What we are doing is a head-killing business, I thought we would be recruited, but now that the Cloud Demon King is here, don't think about the wealth in the future, I just looked carefully, there are many cavalry in the south, west and north of Zou Cheng, but there are only a few horses in the east, even if the Cloud Demon King is powerful, he only has two hundred people on hand There is no way to lock Zou Cheng, this is our way of life." ”

Zhang Qing exclaimed: "To the east is Xianyuan County, although the people of the Kong family are highly respected, they are a hollow boss with no soldiers, but once we attack Xianyuan County, there will be no way back." ”

Mada, who was in his thirties, looked at the young Zhang Qing and said with a smile: "Anyway, there is no way to live, it is better to fight, do you not plan to taste what it is like to be a woman of the Kong family?" ”

Zhang Qing raised his arm. threw the wine jar far away, beat his chest and said to the motor: "Big brother, what kind of charter should you speak." Brother must listen to your ......"

Just as Zhang Qing was arranging an escape route, he heard a low horn sound outside the city. More than two hundred cavalry lined up and slowly approached Zoucheng, there was no routine persuasion, and there was no customary scolding formation, the cavalry in black armor just took out their hand crossbows, pressed the crossbow arrows into the trench and made the crossbow strings, the war horse advanced twenty steps, and all the combat preparations were completed.

Yun Zheng and Lao Bao stood on a small hill, just watching coldly.

Shouts and curses rang out one after another from the top of the city. The cavalry was speeding up, and the formation changed from a straight line to a huge arc, and they slashed towards the gate due north.

The cavalry siege is a joke, but Lao Bao still believes in Yun Zheng's military literacy, when he saw the horse team passing through the city gate, the crossbow arrows continued to shoot at the city, those cavalry shot very accurately, and very regular, after blocking a few scattered arrows flying out of the city, there were constantly crossbow arrows planted from the city head by bandits. The large shield made of two doors that appeared on the head of the castle was destroyed at the first time by the armor-piercing cone with gunpowder.

Bao Zheng was surprised to see that five people in the cavalry team jumped off their horses, waved their arms and shields to block the ash bottles and other things dropped on the city, and put five neat bundles of two feet square in the hole of the city gate, and lit the long lead with a fire fold. He mounted his horse and joined the team of horses that were constantly throwing crossbow arrows.

This time, when the horses had finished shooting their crossbows, they left the city gate far away, lined up three hundred paces away, withdrew their crossbows, drew their own horses, or broadswords, or spears, and stood there quietly waiting.

With a thunderclap, Bao Zheng saw with his own eyes that the two strong city gates were torn apart. Then the gates were shrouded in smoke and fire, and the cavalry didn't care about the debris and wood chips flying in the sky. Urging the war horses to kill the city gate like a storm.

Yun Zheng retracted and stretched the old man's neck, and said to Bao Zheng with a smile: "The city is broken!" ”

Bao Zheng looked at the cavalry rushing in and looked back and asked Yun Zheng: "It's that simple?" ”

Yun Zheng smiled: "How difficult do you think? A few forbidden troops plus a few bandits. The use of gunpowder is already excessive. Bao Gong, let's go into the city, you still have a lot of things to do, this city must be ruined by those people. You are responsible for the security of the people, and I am responsible for the killing. Yun Zheng said as he pulled out the sword in his waist and licked the edge of the sword greedily, as if he could no longer restrain himself from killing*.

Bao Zheng shuddered, grabbed Yun Zheng's armor and said, "You are the boss, don't do these things yourself." ”

Yun Zheng glanced at the well-behaved magistrates who were around Lao Bao like quails and said: "One hundred and ten traitors, let you be afraid of becoming like this, if you pay attention to the local regimental training and the army on weekdays, there will be no one hundred or ten people occupying a city, and after a while, I hope you can still maintain your heart as a gentleman who is as warm as jade." ”

After speaking, he broke free from Lao Bao's hand, stepped on the war horse and ran towards the city gate accompanied by the monkey.

Bao Zheng hurriedly got into his carriage and urged the scared coachman to chase Yun Zheng in the carriage.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Bao Zheng felt dizzy, there were no living people here, there were headless corpses everywhere, the rules of the Jiazi Battalion were only considered dead people if the enemy cut off his head, this rule Yun Zheng had said to Bao Zheng before.

Even if Bao Zheng is sophisticated, he still trembles in the face of such a massacre scene, which has nothing to do with guts, only with temperament, those magistrates who are almost scared to death can only mechanically follow Bao Zheng to the city surrounded by fast hunting.

The group carefully bypassed the heads of people rolling all over the place and walked to the county office, only to find that the battle was still going on, those samurai in black armor had already dismounted their horses, and a group of five people had been scattered in every corner of the city to fight, everywhere there were screams, everywhere there was the sound of blades clashing, and of course, there were countless people kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

Bao Zheng watched as those black-armored men cut off the heads of those who surrendered on their knees without hesitation, as if he didn't have any intention of capturing some of the bandits alive and asking for credit.

Yun Zheng stood in the middle of the street with the long sword in his hand, less than ten steps away from him, more than a dozen of his own generals were fighting with more than thirty bandits, these people surrendered on their knees at first, and later found that they would also be beheaded if they surrendered, so they were red-eyed and desperate.

Two gunpowder bullets were thrown into the crowd, and after the smoke passed, the bandits there were bleeding from their ears, and their mouths kept screaming words that they couldn't understand, like headless flies.

Bao Zheng walked to Yun Zheng's side in fear, and before he could open his mouth to speak, a bandit with a face covered in black ash and an eye hanging outside tried to stretch out a hand to him, and his back had been slashed three or four times, and he couldn't live.

Bao Zheng habitually wanted to pull his hand, but a flying claw had already flown over, tightly clasping the bandit's neck, dragging him back alive, and the other black-armored man chopped off the bandit's head with a knife. (To be continued)
