On the road from Wuxing County to Shen Township, there were 300 soldiers rushing on the way, waving a Tang flag, which was the Tang army detachment that went out of the city to clear the township.

This is just a joint Tang army, but only about 300 people have walked out of the momentum of thousands of people. Every soldier is well-groomed, full of energy, and a little arrogant in his toughness.

Ye Su, the young joint commander, rode a red horse in front of the team. His armor was covered with a red armor that could only be used by a middle samurai, and a red sheath Tang knife that could only be used by a middle samurai hung around his waist, and the whole person looked energetic.

According to the Tang Army system, there are commanders and commanders, teams have team leaders, joint commanders, regiments have regimental commanders, brigades have brigade commanders, and battalions have battalion commanders. Commander of the Joint, awarded the rank of Joiner, is already a mid-level military attaché.

Ye Su is the second batch of village warriors, who participated in the battle of killing the Pu family and the conquest of the sun, and has been the joint commander for a year.

Walking at the end of the team was Wan Yan Kang, the joint supervisor on a dark horse. As another commander of the wing, he is of course also a middle samurai, with the same red armor and a red sheath Tang sword.

Wanyan Dare is the second batch of Jurchen immigrants, participated in the encirclement and suppression of Han Gong and Zhengri, and has been a joint supervisor for a year, and he is a good partner with Ye Su.

Looking at the unhurried march of the three hundred teams, Wanyan dared to be very satisfied.

I'm Tang Jingbing, a real tiger warrior!

Well, in order to clear the township, the garrison soldiers and horses in various states and counties are all mixed. For example, although there are only three hundred and eight people, he is equipped with a cavalry capital (fifty people), a firearms capital, and a heavy infantry capital.

The Tang army has a characteristic that there are no pure sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, and archers. Because it is a long-term professional training, every Tang army is an archer, and can also be a sword and shield bearer and a pikeman, and they can be replaced by each other.

So, don't look at it as just a couplet, but there are actually two hundred people equipped with bows and arrows.

"Drive!" Wan Yan dared to whip up, beat the horse and ran to the front, and walked side by side with the joint commander Ye Su.

"Brother Ye, our army only has two three-catty cannons, not even six-catty cannons, and the cannonballs can only fire five rounds, if you can't break through Shenjiawu Fort, you can only attack hard." Wan Yan dared to say.

Ye Su turned his head, looked at the two three-pound light cannons pulled in the team, and nodded: "Brother Wanyan is worried. If you can't open the dock fort, you have to attack hard, and once you attack hard, you will inevitably have casualties. ”

Wan Yan dared to say: "There is one more thing to worry about. Around the Shenjiawu Fort Manor, there are many tenants. If the Shen family ordered the tenants to guard the dock fort, then the arrows and ammunition of our army would be consumed by the tenants, and many civilians would be killed at the same time. ”

Ye Su was also worried about this problem, and with the Shen family's style, he completely did it.

However, this was obviously a very decisive man, and he said sharply: "If those tenants would rather die defending the city for their hated lord than rebel against their lord's house, then go and die." Datang doesn't need such cowardly people. ”

Wan Yan dared to smile and said, "Then it's decided." Anyway, the township must be cleared, and anything that stands in the way, even if it is a bitter people, must be cleaned up. ”

"However, Brother Ye should not be too disappointed. Although most of the tenants pinched their noses to help the gentry, there were still many people in the countryside who were not tenants. The people who dare to support us have three percent. ”

The peasants in the villages were divided into tenants and yeoman farmers. The tenants were controlled by powerful landlords and forced to oppose the Tang army. But among the yeoman farmers, although many chose neutrality, there were also many bold ones who chose to support the Tang Army. These people were also the source of recruitment for the Don Army.

The wing set off in the morning and finally arrived in Shenxiang until noon. At a glance, there are manors of the Shen family everywhere, and it is really "a field where crows can't fly", so don't think about it, the Shen family must have "gold and silver that thieves can't move".

And in the fields, at the bottom of the mountain and by the water, there are mostly simple houses that have fallen into disrepair, sheltered from the wind and rain, and it must be cool in summer, but in winter...

The people knew about the soldiers, but they didn't know where they had fled. So although there are many houses here, there are not many people in sight. The only few people are all old men with yellow faces and thin muscles and ragged clothes.

Ye Su and Wan Yan dared to stand on the side of the road, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

This is Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which are known for their wealth?

At this moment, there was a sound of gongs not far away, and I faintly heard people shouting: "Go and inform the officials, the rebels are coming!" ”

Immediately afterwards, I saw a group of ragged people, running in the direction of Shenjiawu Fort in the west.

Ye Su and Wan Yanda's faces immediately became ugly.

"Damn...", a team couldn't help but scold, "these people don't know what to do! Good students are annoyed! Although the Zhao official family was not angry back then, these people could not escape the responsibility! Otherwise, how can the Tartars sit on the country! ”

Wan Yan dared to say: "I know the etiquette in a real way." They live like dogs, and they are tired like oxen, and there is no blood to speak of. Team Yao, don't be too demanding. Even if they are cowardly, it is thanks to the Zhao family, and the people... In the clear. ”

…………

"The rebels are coming! Hundreds of people! There are horses and armor! Dozens of tenants with vegetable-looking faces banged the gong and came to the huge and mighty Shenjiawu Fort.

"It's Cheng Laosi and them, put down the bridge and let them come in to guard the fort!" On the watchtower of the dock fort, the head of the hundred households of the militia guarding the door ordered.

Immediately, the drawbridge on the trench was lowered, the heavy dock fort gate was pushed open, Cheng Laosi and others rushed in, came to the hundred leaders of the militia group, and said with a hot sweat: "General Wang, there are hundreds of them..."

This "General Wang" was the commander of the Yuan army, and he even had armor, so he said impatiently: "Don't be verbose, quickly pick up the hoe and prepare to defend the fort." What you said, the old officials and officials have known it for a long time! ”

At this time, the high wall of the dock fort, which was two feet high, was already full of tenants, men, women and children, and there were thousands of people in dense crowds.

They were armed with hoes, sticks, and bamboo guns, and they were crowded, noisy, and swearing. Although all of them are yellow and thin, they are all a little excited at this time, the kind of excitement that arises from fear and anticipation.

Fear...... Fear of death, of course. So, what to expect?

Expect the reward of the Lord's house.

When the lord commanded them to go into the fort to guard it, he said that if they kept the fort, everyone would be rewarded.

Well, what will the house of the Lord give?

Also, is it true that the Lord said that the rebels did not dare to attack them in order to buy people's hearts?

If that's the case, it couldn't be better.

After the six or seven thousand tenants guarding the fort, there were two thousand militias.

The militia is a private army temporarily organized by the Shen family, and the selected soldiers are all young and strong, and the general is Shen Ao, Shen Ye's nephew of the thousand households.

After Shen Ao's 10,000 households were annihilated by the Tang army, he fled back to Shen's house with more than 200 defeated soldiers, and more than 200 defeated soldiers, all of whom became the head of the militia and helped train the army.

In addition, the Shen family has a big business, and it is still very fast to make spears and spears. Therefore, in more than half a month, 2,000 militia groups were armed.

Because there are defeated soldiers as the backbone, they have been trained for a period of time, and they have enough food, so the Shen family militia still has some combat strength, and it is not completely a rabble.

Shen Ao was dressed in the iron armor of a thousand military attachés, with two small pigtails hanging from his ears, and a Mongolian scimitar at his waist, which really looked a bit like a Mongolian general at first glance.

The elders also wore braided hair, and this image invisibly added a lot of courage to the militia and tenants.

Shen Ao looked at the backs of the tenants and sneered.

Hmph, what are you guys? You're just a bunch of cheap slaves, it's your turn to guard the fort for my Shen family?

The reason why you have come is only to send you to your death, to consume the rebels' arrows and guns, and to ruin the rebels' attempt to buy people's hearts.

Reward? Hehe, let's talk about your life.

"Old officials, big officials are here! See you soon! Suddenly, a loud voice shouted.

The militia and the tenants roared, turned around one after another, put down their spears and hoes, and bowed down to Shen Ye, who was coming with a high-spirited grandson and wearing a quality sun uniform.

"The little ones have seen the old officials, the big officials!"

Shen Ye's smile was much kinder than before, and he looked kind.

"Oh, folks, please get up, hurry up!" Shen Ye didn't bother to help, "Now the rebels are brutalizing the township, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil!" We can only survive if we protect ourselves! ”

"It doesn't matter, don't be afraid, the court has destroyed other rebels, and they will soon be able to fight, and then not only will Li Luo's rebels die without a place to be buried, but even those who defect to the rebels will also be exterminated."

That's the threat.

Shen Ye was very satisfied with the tame of the tenants, and continued: "How long can the rebels be arrogant? The grasshoppers after the autumn can't jump for a few days. The old man really couldn't bear to see the villagers bewildered by the thieves, go astray, and end up with a bad death. ”

The old thing continues to threaten.

"Fortunately, the villagers are all familiar with affairs, and everyone must understand the truth that the man and the thief are not separated, so the old man will not say much." (Can the thief be used like this without two sides?) ）

"The old man put his words here, as long as he guards the dock fort, five buckets of rice per person! Never break your word! I, Shen Ye, will not let the villagers be victimized by thieves, nor will I watch you starve to death! ”

What the? Five buckets of rice per person!

The tenants suddenly became excited, five buckets of white flowers!

The Tang army is said to have only 300 people, and they are not heavenly soldiers, there are nearly 10,000 people in the dock fort, what are you afraid of? The Tang army saw that the dock fort was strong and there were so many people guarding the fort, so they might have retreated.

Done!

Besides, you can't do it. If they resist, as soon as the Tang army leaves and the Tartars return, will they still be alive?

Although the Shen family is very bad, and although the old thief Shen is vicious, it is true that he is five buckets and one hundred meters horizontally and vertically! Shen Lao Thief is a big man with status, and if he says it in front of so many people, he won't be a fart.

The people of the militia took the opportunity to shout: "That's five buckets of rice!" Rest assured, the old officials are here, and there is a dock fort! ”

The tenants were also coerced and shouted unevenly: "The old official rewarded us with five buckets of rice, can we not be unsatisfied!" ”

"Good!" Shen Ye saw that the tenants did not resist under his coercion and temptation, and he was very proud in his heart, and shouted: "The old man also has an ugly saying, if anyone is a thief or escapes, then don't blame the old man for being ruthless!" Come on, bring Zhang Siqi! ”

As soon as the words fell, several strong men of the militia dragged a man with blurred flesh and blood to show it in front of everyone.

Everyone recognized this person as Zhang Siqi, who was also a tenant.

Seeing that his mouth was full of blood and his mouth was slurring, he knew that his tongue had been cut out.

Shen Ye pointed at Zhang Siqi with a cane, and said bitterly: "This Zhang Siqi was watched by the old man who grew up, who knew that he secretly commanded the rebels, and the old man only had to punish the law harshly to set an example." ”

Although Zhang Siqi had his tongue cut off, his ears were not deaf, and when he heard Shen Ye's words, his lungs were about to explode.

He didn't even know what was going on with the rebels, so he secretly communicated with the rebels? Who does the rebel know about him, Zhang Siqi?

He just scolded the Shen family, and he was arrested and cut out his tongue, and now he even said that he was secretly communicating with the rebels, killing him and scaring others.

"Slash!" Shen Ye gave an order, Zhang Siqi's head fell to the ground, and his head rolled out far away, still with angry eyes, really dead.

"Zhang Siqi, it is the fate of defecting to the rebels!" The Yuan army that killed Zhang Siqi broke the army, grabbed Zhang Siqi's head, and showed it to everyone.

The tenants were terrified in their hearts, and they didn't dare to look at it anymore, they all cursed secretly, but they didn't dare to show it.

As soon as Shen Ye killed Zhang Siqi, he heard someone shouting, it turned out that the rebels had finally come.

In order to maintain physical strength, the march of the Don army was not fast.

Shen Ye climbed the high wall and took a look, only to see a team of black-armored soldiers outside the dock fort, although there were only about three hundred, but the formation was strict and the momentum was strict, especially the few people who were covered with armor and carried good-looking narrow knives, and they were even more like tigers and wolves.

A small Tang-character battle flag was erected in front of the battle. There were also two new guns, with the black hole facing the dock fort. Behind the artillery, there was a row of armored soldiers with strange tubular weapons, which seemed to be firecrackers.

Behind the formation, there were fifty cavalrymen, and before the cavalry were fifty burly heavy infantry in face armor.

There are only 300 people, and the law is so strict, it is really terrifying.

Of course, Shen Ye had seen the world, and he knew at a glance that he was an amazing elite!

Three hundred people stood quietly under the dock fort, motionless as a mountain, as if entering a no-man's land. There are only three hundred people, but they are filled with a strong and violent aura, and it seems that they can suddenly launch a thousand blows, like... Slowly pull the bow apart.

Shen Ye's eyes couldn't help but look at the enemy general, who was sitting on his horse and was also looking at him. The eyes of the two touched from afar, and the sharp and cold gaze of the other party suddenly made Shen Ye feel cold.

The elders and children of the Shen family, as well as the militia and tenants, were all intimidated by the three hundred Tang troops, and the entire Wubao was quiet and fearful for a while.

"This is Tang Jun? Extraordinary! This thought flashed through the minds of many tenants, and the idea of retreat flooded like a tide. For a while, the tempting five buckets of rice were no longer fragrant.

Even the militia groups with a strong fighting spirit were also afraid when they saw this Tang army. They...... Don't dare to go field!

Shen Ye took a deep breath and was about to shout a few words to boost his morale, when he suddenly saw a wave of the rebel general's hand, and a middle-aged man appeared in the array.

As soon as this middle-aged man appeared, many people recognized it as Liang Xiucai from Guqiao Village.

Liang Xiucai is a scholar, and his family also has some land, compared with the tenants, I don't know how many times stronger, did he join the Tang Army?

Sure enough, Liang Xiucai came to the front of the battle and said loudly: "Shen Ye's crime is extremely evil, and he will definitely die!" Do you want to bury him later? The Shen family, the thief who harms the people, is not in the same sky as you, do you still want to be his gatekeeper? Do you still block the knife for him and send him to death? It's stupid! ”

"Tang Gong is merciful, he can't bear to kill the lost people, Wang'er and others are lost, distinguish between friend and foe, don't help the abuse! If not, Tang Gong's way of forgiveness will no longer be set up for you! ”

"You think that resisting the Shen family is death. But if you resist me Don, won't you die? It's the same death, why not die for the pleasure of revenge! Stand down! Let our army attack the Dock Fort! Those who are stubborn will bring about their own death! ”

After Liang Xiucai finished speaking, he stopped talking, but retreated into the formation.

Shen Ye gritted his teeth with hatred, but because the Yuan Court had extremely strict control over weapons and the production period of bows and arrows was too long, the militia had very few bows and arrows, and they did not dare to shoot Liang Xiucai, so as not to attract a rain of arrows from the rebels.

When the tenants heard Liang Xiucai's words, they were even more ashamed and afraid, and many of them retreated one after another, crowding the militia behind them into chaos.

"You dare to retreat! Retreat and kill! Shen Ao, the general of the militia group, roared angrily, and stabbed into the back of a tenant with a wave of his hand, and the other militia officers scolded one after another, waving their knives to drive the tenants to block the wall.

Ye Su, who was outside the dock fort, saw that the wall was in chaos, and immediately raised his hand.

"Bang-" With a sound, dozens of firecrackers picked up their firecrackers in unison and took aim.

Ye Su swung down again, and heard the loud "bang", black smoke appeared, and Shen Ao, who was pressing the tenants on the wall, suddenly screamed, several small holes were blasted out of the armor, and his body seemed to have been slammed by a sledgehammer, and he fell down.

The fire gun hit a distance of ten feet, and was hit by several bullets in a row, of course, the dead could not die again. Even his iron armor couldn't stop the projectiles of the musket so close.

At the same time, several other militia generals were killed.

Even, because the accuracy of the fire gun was not good, two tenants were shot.

"Boom-" sounded, and without waiting for the Tang army to launch a second round of attacks, the tenants suddenly exploded. The husband pulls his wife, and the son pulls his parents, desperately retreating.

And the militia group, at this time, did not care about the bullet pressure on the tenants, they saw that the Tang Army was killed by the sharp firearms of several generals, they were really frightened, plus the tenants fled, they finally shouted and fled from the dock fort wall.

Shen Ye in the back didn't spend, and when he saw his nephew Shen Ao suddenly being bombarded, his heart ached sharply, and he exclaimed sadly: "Shiro! ”

But before they could go up to check, the tenants and militia rushed down the dock wall like a tidal wave.

"Don't mess around! Get back! Shen Ye was so frightened that he never imagined that the rebels would retreat with just one round of firearms.

The most elite members of the Shen family, holding knives and shouting, finally stopped some of the militia groups from staying.

And the tenants didn't even care about it, and even fought with the family, and refused to go to the wall again. The Shen family, suddenly found out for the first time that the tenants were disobedient!

What made the Shen family even more angry was that they couldn't do anything about the disobedient tenants now!

As soon as the thousands of militia groups that had finally reorganized themselves were put up on the wall, they heard two loud bangs, "boom-boom-", and the bodies of several militia members flew up amid the flying bricks and stones.

One of them, whose head was like a smashed watermelon, suddenly burst open, and it was terrible to see.

An iron egg came out of a man's back, passed through a man's head, broke another's thigh, and then jumped on a brick, shattering one's jaw.

The Tang army fired a salvo of two three-pound bullets, and although it did little damage to the fortified dock fort, it killed and wounded seven or eight regiments.

But the psychological blow to the group is fatal.

With a "boom-" sound, the regimental members who finally mustered up the courage to go to the wall to defend were exhausted, and they shouted "run" and rushed down the wall.

The whole Dock Fort is completely in chaos.

The tenants are in a mess, the militia is in a mess, no matter how the Shen family reprimands and offers rewards, no one is willing to go to the city wall to die.

It's really a rebel firearm, it's too scary.

Not to mention the lonely tenants, even the militia groups, few people have seen firearms. How can you not be afraid?

"Father! The dock fort can't hold it! Let's go through the South Gate! "At this moment, where does the Shen family not know that they can't hold it?

How can you keep it?

Shen Ye's face was pale, trembling all over, and he felt scared like he had never felt before.

There are so many people in the dock fort, and the rebels are only 300 people, why can't they hold it?

"Uncle! Let's go! It's too late! ”

Shen Ye violently pushed away his son and nephew, like an injured old wolf, "The old man won't leave!" The rebels were only three hundred! Even if we come in and fight with each other, we also have the power to fight! ”

Shen Ye made a desperate bet and ordered all the children of the Shen family to unite the family members who had been raised by the Shen family for many years and fight to the death with the Tang army.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "The rebels have entered the fort!" ”

"Someone opened the fort gate and lowered the drawbridge!"

Shen Ye was shocked, only to see the direction of the gate, the crowd avoided one after another, and retreated to his side, and then, a group of black-armored cavalry appeared in his sight, rushing into the dock fort.

Ye Su didn't expect that when he was about to bombard the gate of the dock fort, the dock fort was opened by the bold tenants, and the drawbridge was also put down.

Where would he let go of this opportunity? Immediately wave your troops into the fort.

"Kill!" The cavalry of Yidu was armed with sabers and rushed towards Shen Ye and the others.

The militia group had long been unable to organize resistance, and when they saw the Tang army entering the dock fort, they threw away their weapons and ran to the south of the dock fort.

It is equivalent to saying that the Shen family has completely lost the protection of the militia. They were protected by only a few hundred faithful servants.

But how can these family members be the opponents of the Tang Army like wolves and tigers? There was simply no resistance to it, and they were killed one after another.

A warrior under the Tang army was armed with a Tang knife, fierce and fierce, and killed three or four family members in one go, and there was no enemy at all.

In the fight, Tang Jun's individual hand-to-hand combat skills were vividly reflected. Not to mention that they have armor, even if they don't have armor, the Shen family is definitely not an opponent, and the Shen family is almost one-sided and slaughtered.

Shen Ye hid in the watchtower in the middle of the dock fort, looking at the battle outside, his heart was cold.

He had only seen such fierce and warlike soldiers in the Mongol army. Even, he felt that these soldiers were more terrible than the Mongol soldiers.

Are you wrong? They... Can you really compete for the world?

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Shen family members died and descended. The huge Shen family no longer has the resistance of force.

The Shen family and the whole family hid in the watchtower, the men were like ashes, and the women were crying, all like children who had lost the protection of their parents.

Only three quarters of an hour ago, they were the masters of the dock fort, the high-ranking officials, the ladies, the gentlemen, the ladies.

In the blink of an eye......

Shen Ye suddenly aged ten years old, he stood up tremblingly, looked at the Tang army generals who entered the watchtower, and pleaded and said: "General, the old Shen Ye is also a common man of the Han family, and he is willing to return the land of the small people, donate money and grain, and return to the Tang Dynasty!" ”

The Shen family all knelt on the ground.

Ye Su shook his head, "It's late." You and the Shen family, from today onwards, will cease to exist. ”

When Shen Ye heard this, he suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that he burst into tears.

"Herald! The Shen family's crime was tried in Shenjiawu Fort, and the sentence was justified! The superintendent Yan dared to order.

"No!"

Since the Tang army did not kill a single tenant after they came in, most of the tenants did not flee. Soon, in the consternation of the tenants, the Shen family, who had been high and majestic in the past, were escorted out like dead dogs, kneeling in rows on the field in the middle of the dock fort.

"The Shen family is finished!"

"It's over, it's over!"

"Good! Very good! God open your eyes! ”

"It's a pleasure to kill, but if the court comes back..."

"What a court! That's a tartar! ”

"Yes, yes, what if the Tartars come back?"

"What to do? Only God knows what will happen in the future. The Shen family was destroyed by the Tang army, and it was not destroyed by us, and when the Tartars came back, they couldn't find our trouble. ”

"You can't say that. Can't we just keep the Tartars back? ”

"Let's take a look at it again, although we say that it is a cheap life, it is better to die than to live."
