Chapter 330: Wolves Infested [Supplement 15/22]
To the west of Kunyang County, on the south side of Zhushan, there is a village of about 50 households, called Yang Village.
Of course, now the villagers have been relocated to the county seat, and the village has been abandoned - no, not abandoned, because a gang of green forest thieves took over it a few days ago.
There are about 200 people in this group of green forest thieves, the leader is surnamed Mi Mingliang, and the people of the green forest are called 'Miao Da Worm', who is about forty years old, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and has a bit of force.
At dinner today, the leader of Miao Liang and Miao smashed a clay bowl again in anger.
scolded in his mouth: "This place, there is nothing!" β
Seeing that the leader was angry, the green forest thieves below lowered their heads one after another, taking care of their own food, for fear that the leader would be angry with themselves.
These people also know why Miao Liang is angry, just because they have been wandering around Kunyang for a few days, and they basically can't grab anything except for bullying and bullying the refugees in the northern mountains (Zhushan).
The damn Kunyang county town moved all the villagers in this area to the county seat, but the hateful thing is that before leaving, the village was also turned into a ruin, not only the houses in the village were burned down and knocked down, but everything inside and outside the house could not be taken away, such as water tanks, rice tanks, soil kangs, tables and stools, etc., could be burned and smashed, and even the well in the village was filled with soil.
In this case, Miao Liang and his gang naturally didn't want to find anything useful in the village, let alone find the reason that made Miao Liang angry-wine.
At the moment, the only thing that can make Miao Liang vent the anger in his heart is probably the few women they have just snatched in the past two days.
In the face of Miao Liang's violence, the poor women did not dare to resist, so they could only endure silently, until Miao Liang vented his animal desires and his mood improved, they dared to cry quietly and comfort each other.
But even so, they were still scolded by Miao Liang: "Crying, crying, crying, crying all day and night, crying something!" β
Under this reprimand, the women were so frightened that they didn't dare to cry anymore, so they could only wipe their tears silently.
At this time, a burly strong man walked in from outside the house and hugged his fist towards Miao Liang, who was Miao Liang's right-hand man, Niu Mazi.
"How?" Miao Liang nodded at Niu Mazi bare-chested.
I saw Niu Mazi shaking his head and said in embarrassment: "Boss, I went west today, walked for more than ten miles, and I didn't even see half of the bird village." β¦β¦ It is estimated that Kunyang has really moved all the villagers in the county to the county seat. β
Hearing this, Miao Liang was immediately deflated, and scolded in his mouth: "This damn Kunyang! β
Scolding and scolding, he didn't dare to go to Kunyang County for trouble, and he didn't even dare to get close to Kunyang County, after all, Huang Kang, the general of the Changsha Army, was defeated in Kunyang City a few days ago, and this incident made Miao Liang remember it vividly.
Including him, all the green forest thieves at that time were unbelievable: 10,000 soldiers of the Changsha Army fought fiercely for more than an hour, not only failed to break through the city, but the Changsha Army under Huang Kang lost more than 3,000 people......
Whenever he thought of this, Miao Liang secretly regretted it: "It's a pity that the armor of more than 3,000 people was given by the Kunyang people." β
Yes, because Ye County sent troops to arrive at that time, Huang Kang didn't have time to take away the corpses of more than 3,000 Changsha soldiers, and naturally, he didn't take away those weapons and armor, thinking that these things all fell into the hands of Kunyang County.
If it doesn't work, it will fall into the hands of those 'black scarf pawns'.
No, it should be called a black scarf thief! - As far as Miao Liang knows, those guys with black scarves on their heads are just local bandits in Kunyang.
It is no exaggeration to say that the other party is still walking with them.
"Boss."
moved a stool in the house and sat down, Niu Mazi asked Miao Liang in a low voice: "You are that Huang Kang, he has built a camp on the south side of the river in recent days, what does he want to do?" Could it really be like what the other brothers said, that Huang Kang was scared in Kunyang? β
"What do those stupid things know?"
Miao Liang glanced at Niu Mazi with some smugness, and sneered: "I'm not speaking for that Huang Kang...... Kunyang, is it so easy to fight? If he attacked Kunyang desperately, it would be Yexian's turn to stab him in the back...... That's why he can't act rashly, you see? β
"Oh."
Niu Mazi nodded as if he didn't understand, which made Miao Liang feel more and more embarrassed.
Although the judgment he just said was actually heard from the big leader Zhang Tai a few days ago, this did not prevent him from pretending to be profound in front of his subordinates, so as to increase his prestige.
When it came to the Yexian army, Miao Liang immediately thought of the convoy that came from Yexian a few days ago.
It was a convoy of thirty or forty horse-drawn carriages and carts, and in three consecutive days, on July 28, 29, and 30, that convoy traveled back and forth between Yexian and Kunyang three times, transporting many things to Kunyang.
According to the news, it was the aid given to Kunyang by Ye County, with thousands of weapons and armor, as well as some grain and grass.
For this batch of materials, there was no one in his Green Forest Righteous Army who was not blushing, but they did not dare to move, because Ye County sent 2,000 Nanyang soldiers to escort them along the way, and Kunyang County also sent 3,000 Nanyang soldiers stationed in the county to respond.
There were a full 5,000 Nanyang soldiers, not to mention his Green Forest Righteous Army, and even Huang Kang, the general of the Changsha Army, did not dare to act rashly after learning the news.
After all, in addition to the 5,000 Nanyang soldiers in the two counties, Ye County has sent people to harass the Changsha Army's construction of camps from time to time in the past few days, and is eyeing the Changsha Army, so how dare Huang Kang divide his troops to loot the materials that Ye County has aided to Kunyang, and is not afraid that Ye County will take the opportunity to attack the camp he has not yet built, and burn the heavy grain and grass of his Changsha Army?
The Changsha army did not dare to move, and Miao Liang and other green forest rebels naturally did not dare to move, and watched Ye County transport a large number of armaments, grain and grass to Kunyang County.
On the ground of Kunyang today, the only 'soft persimmon' they can pinch is the refugees hiding on the pillar mountain on the north side, although this group of people basically has nothing good, at best they grab some men as servants, and then grab some women for fun.
Compared with the Nanyang Army, the Black Turban Thieves, and the Kunyang County Army, the refugees on Zhushan are still quite easy to deal with, although these people seem to have organized a group of people to resist, but the threat is not great, two days ago, Miao Liang and others killed a large number of refugees who tried to fight back against them, and grabbed a lot of people.
Touching the beard on his chin, Miao Liang said to Niu Mazi: "No matter what Huang Kang plans, just like Boss Zhang Tai said, we must replenish the number of servants as soon as possible, and we can't ask our own brothers to go up when the Changsha army attacks Kunyang or Yexian, right?" β
"Hmm." Niu Mazi nodded approvingly.
The two chatted for a while, Miao Liang waved his hand and sent Niu Mazi away, and continued to have fun with the women he snatched.
At this time, the sky outside the house gradually darkened, and all the green forest thieves went back to their broken houses to rest and have fun, leaving only a few green forest thieves who were in charge of guarding, listening to the women's panting sound gradually sounding in the village, and venting their resentment that they were not on duty by chance, on the group of pseudo-thieves who had no status, wantonly calling them, and even beating and scolding.
No one noticed that at this moment, under the night outside the village, many dark shadows gradually gathered.
Needless to ask, these black shadows are one of the teams of the Black Tiger Thief Brigade Camp, and the team leading the team is none other than Xu Bai, who only 'got married' in the Black Tiger Village a few days ago.
The green forest thieves thought that they were wandering in Kunyang County without knowing it, but in fact, the county officials sent by the county government had already set their eyes on these green forest thieves who were operating on the ground of their Kunyang and found the nest where these people were temporarily hiding.
And Xu Bai, relying on this information, brought his subordinates to the door.
"The brothers are ready."
Suddenly, a black tiger thief touched Xu Bai's side.
"Don't worry."
Xu Bai replied in a low voice: "Wait for that group of miscellaneous people to sleep soundly, and strive to let none of them go......"
As soon as the words fell, a wolf howl suddenly came from the north, interrupting Xu Bai's words.
Xu Bai was stunned for a moment.
Wolf howls are nothing, after all, wolves are also very common in Kunyang, but the wolf howls issued by people are also the 'signal' for the various teams of their brigade battalion to start moving.
According to the order, as soon as the 'wolf howl' is heard, the black tiger thieves in this area are to immediately move closer to the place where the wolf howl is issued, and then pounce on their enemies from all directions, tearing each other's throats.
Some people may ask, what if it is a real wolf howl?
Don't worry, the great leader of his Black Tiger Village has already thought about it, and has come up with a way: that is, by distinguishing between long and short voices.
According to Zhao Yu's idea, each 'wolf pack' should have its own corresponding 'wolf howl' so that the companions around it can distinguish it.
However, due to the rush of time, this idea has not yet been implemented, so all the wolf squads under the current brigade camp only use a wolf howl and explain it to the team leader or the captain of each team in advance.
By the way, this wolf howl changes every once in a while, so as not to be touched by the enemy.
And today's prescribed 'wolf howl' is a long and two short tones.
Therefore, Xu Bai immediately realized that there was another wolf pack squad under his brigade camp nearbyβat least one more.
Because according to the regulations, the first wolf howl is the 'wolf king', and the nearby wolf team will all move closer, but under normal circumstances, there is no need to respond loudly, so as not to alert the enemy.
Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that there are still silent wolf squads like Xu Bai's team in the vicinity.
"The wolf king has spoken, and he can't do it if he doesn't move. β¦β¦ Prepare the brethren. β
"Yes."
After giving orders to his subordinates, Xu Bai slowly stood up under the cover of night, ready to draw the saber at his waist.
Suddenly, his hand to the scabbard paused for a moment, and then the hand reached into his bosom and pinched the sachet-like thing in his bosom.
It was a cloth bag sewn for him by his 'new wife' Tian Qing, who was only fifteen years old, and there was a strand of her hair in it.
"Beware, Xu ...... Husband."
Xu Bai's ears seemed to sound the new wife's entrustment when he was leaving.
It made him feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Some are uncomfortable, but ...... It's really not bad.
"What's wrong, team?"
From the side, a black tiger thief asked puzzled.
"Nothing."
Xu Bai immediately put away the smile on his face, reached out and stuffed the sachet into his belt so that it would not fall.
Immediately, he slowly drew his sword and ordered in a deep tone: "That group of miscellaneous pieces, not one will be left!" β¦β¦ Above! β
With an order, fifty black tiger thieves quickly approached Yang Village in the distance, and immediately broke out.
Almost at the same time, another group of black tiger thieves in the north of the village entered the village, and the two wolf squads attacked at the same time, attacking back and forth, and the green forest thieves in the village did not expect that they were broken into the door by the black tiger thieves and hacked to death in the house.
Even the thief leader Miao Liang, as well as his cadre Niu Mazi and others, were chopped to death by the black tiger thieves who broke into the house with little defense.
And at this moment, in the southeast direction, which is quite far away from Yangcun, a wolf howl also faintly sounded, which was also one long and two short.
Then, there was another ......
It seems that tonight will be a night of active slaughter by wolves.
