Chapter 901: Uprising

Li Daocheng stroked his beard: "Heli's elephant army can't pass through Hengshan Pass, but this time it still dispatched 50,000. No wonder Wang Zhen is so nervous. ”

Now Wang Shao has Sun Neng and Wu Kui available in his hands, Wei Shouan is controlling the strait, and Liu Ji Jinman is guarding Shunzhou and Tiezhou and other important mining areas in the north: "Heli probably also measured the military strength and submitted a letter to us, claiming that this is his domestic affairs, and the rebellion and killing of officials in the three states should be punished, and the Great Song Dynasty should not accept the traitors, and not fund the rebels' weapons, money and food, and the words are very polite." ”

Su You was furious: "It's too much! When did we fund the money and food for the weapons of the three states?! Sanzhou is now vigorously developing sugarcane planting, and has purchased a batch of knives for cutting sugarcane from Jiaozhi Road, is this not possible? People sell sugar cane, can we still pay for it? It's all normal trade! ”

What Su You said is true, Sanzhou has now become the Song Dynasty's sugar raw material base, sugar, in today's is a much rarer and more precious thing than salt, the income of an acre of cane field is higher than an acre of rice field, Su You's behavior of changing the rice field to cane field in Jiaozhi Road is very strict, but the land of Sanzhou is a disguised encouragement, the price is preferential, and now most of the land that can be cultivated in Sanzhou is planted with sugarcane.

Cutting sugar cane requires a machete, and Su You provided the natives of Sanzhou with a thin steel blade that is two and a half feet long, with a perforated riveting handle at the back, which is very rough, but it is full of elasticity and good steel, and it is very durable, which is well received by cane farmers.

Now that the gang has formed an army, it is not a problem for this kind of blade to cut off the head and break the arm.

……

At the junction of Maling and Buzheng states, there is a mud bay.

The ground here is red mud, rich in minerals, less organic matter, and the soil is sticky, and elephants like to roll around here to plaster the mud and replenish salt.

Niwan is the avenue, the traffic of the entire Champa area is actually very simple, the gentle strip between the coastline and the mountains is not wide, it is a narrow strip of strip, until the northernmost mile state, into the Yuanjiang alluvial fan, the terrain is open.

The early morning mist still echoes in the red mud bay, and the road is lined with dense bamboo bushes on one side and sugar cane fields as far as the eye can see on the other.

In the sugarcane field, a group of men in sackcloth and straw sandals are squatting, enduring the pain of sugarcane leaves scratching their faces, nibbling on the cold rice balls in their hands, while peeping into the quiet river bay.

The man at the head was strong, with short hair, and beckoned to the people around him: "Hurry up and eat, there is news from Leader Huang's side, saying that the food team of the dogs is coming over today, everyone will be in good spirits after eating, and when the grain truck comes, rob his mother!" ”

A young man said, "Brother Zhang, are we rebelling?" ”

Zhang Lingcong gave him a kick: "Little Si, shut up, we have always been Song people, and your ancestral hall is in Yi'an Hall, Tongshan, Zhangzhou!" Didn't you read your uncle's letter? said that the young pao sent people to find the ancestral hall and greeted us about the situation, and the uncle said in the letter that he had been leaving this one empty for us, and he would wait to go back and continue the genealogy! ”

After speaking, he looked around: "What's the matter?" I also thought about going back to the kind of 'official planting a hundred, calculating the rent. 'The day? ”

"In the past, we were thousands of miles away, and we crossed the ocean to bully others. It's different now, after Su Shaobao leveled the hand, there has not been any money and grain there, and I heard that it will take a year to collect two and a half cents of taxes. ”

"The two-and-a-half-cent tax is aimed at landowners. If there is no land, then you must give land, houses, farm tools and livestock! According to the brother who went to the south, he brought a letter and said that it was over there in Meizhou, and one ding was given to fifteen acres! Shen Taishou said, if you don't miss the land, you will send people, as long as we pass, it will be a good life! ”

"And now? The king of Champa locked the border and forbade us to go, and he had to add money to the three states and send levies. ”

"Why? Lao Tzu is no longer serving! ”

Someone immediately answered: "Yes! I'm not waiting! Kill the general, let's go to the Great Song Dynasty! ”

"Fuck it! After this vote, let's also live a good life with the young master! ”

"The best thing is to defeat the king of thieves, and then we will dedicate the land of Sanzhou to the Great Song Dynasty! Brother Zhang, can you still make an official position? ”

"Hahaha......"

Seeing that everyone's voices were getting louder and louder, Zhang Lingcong hurriedly lowered his gesture: "Be quiet!" With just our manpower, it's okay to rob the grain road, but Mr. Liu, and Huang sent a letter to Jiaozhi, let's wait for the letter from the imperial court. ”

Two strange bird calls sounded at the mouth of the valley in front, and Zhang Lingcong waved his hand: "Silence, it's coming!" ”

A convoy came from the dirt road, with more than a dozen oxen pulling the grain carts, in addition to forty or fifty porters, and hundreds of soldiers who occupied the city.

The sergeants were armed with bows, arrows, knives and gunners, and in the middle of an ox-cart sat a general, dressed with narrow sleeves and exposed shins, wearing a leather helmet and a body of leather armor painted with colors.

Seeing the ox cart enter the ambush circle, Zhang Ling rang the gong from Dangdang, and the whole bay suddenly burst into murder.

The crimson banner dyed by Su Mu was beaten from the sugarcane forest, and hundreds of men rushed out of the forest with sugarcane knives, wooden shovels, sickles, and hoes.

Zhang Lingcong hung the gong on his chest, took off the two sugarcane knives hanging from his waist with both hands, and rushed out waving them: "Kill the dog-"

The Cham people were not slow to react, and the general immediately drew his long machete and shouted for battle.

The rest of the sergeants forced the men with knives and guns to drive the ox carts together and form a circle, and the archers stood on the grain carts and began to fire arrows at the mud-legged men who rushed towards them.

The vine shield soldier stood next to the car with his sword drawn, and behind him was a spearman with a spear, forming a defensive formation in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Lingcong spat and screamed unlucky, it is not good to go out today, this is obviously not an ordinary grain transportation team, this is the elite of the people in Zhancheng, and they have encountered hard stubble.

Feathered arrows whizzed by, and within a hundred paces, the rebels could only resist the enemy three times.

In the blink of an eye, more than 30 people fell to the ground.

The arrow feathers suppressed the rebels, and everyone hid in the ditches on the side of the road, behind trees and boulders, and many could only hide behind their brothers who had died in battle.

Just when the rebels were helpless, the oxen pulling the cart suddenly jumped and roared wildly, and fled in all directions, and the archers on the cart were overturned at once, and the gun and shield array in front was also scattered and chaotic.

The opportunity could not be missed, Zhang Lingcong immediately jumped up and shouted: "Kill-" and rushed over first.

The rebels followed behind.

More than 100 sergeants and hundreds of rebels finally fought in one place.

There was a fierce battle everywhere in the whole mud bay, and the rebels had short weapons, so they could only rely on a courage to fight more and fight less.

A sergeant stabbed Zhang Lingcong with a spear, but was blocked by Zhang Ling's knife from his left hand, and the sharp soft steel thin-bladed sugarcane knife directly cut off the spear shaft, followed by a knife with his right hand, and slashed into the body from the base of the opponent's neck.

The opponent suddenly fell to his knees in the mud, and blood sprayed Zhang Lingcong's body.

The general of Zhancheng in front of him was not weak, and several volunteers joined forces, and they were all cut down and knocked down by him one by one.

Zhang Lingcong's eyes erupted from the eyes, and he shouted wildly: "Wu Na Zhan dog!" Come on! "Rushed frantically towards the general.

The general of Champa did not answer, his legs were slightly squatting, and his long knife was raised sideways, ready to wait until the opponent approached and give him an oblique slash.

Zhang Lingcong rushed in front of the enemy general, and the general had just begun to swing his sword, but Zhang Lingcong suddenly knelt on the ground, leaned back, and slid along the mud.

The enemy general thought that he would succeed with a knife that slashed into the air, and Zhang Lingcong's sugarcane knife cut through his bare ankle and directly cut off his left leg.

The enemy general fell to the ground screaming, Zhang Ling rolled over and pressed on his body, he had already thrown away the machete in his hand, felt out a hardwood awl from his waist, and suddenly pierced it from the base of the opponent's neck!

The awl pierced through his neck, and the tip of the cone peeked out from the other side, and blood sprayed it, and he saw that he was not alive.

Zhang Lingcong threw the enemy general into the mud, picked up his long knife, and slaughtered into the enemy formation, and he was invincible.

Xiao Si rushed to the corpse of the enemy general, cut off his head with a knife, and hung it on the red flag bamboo pole and danced: "The enemy will die!" The enemy will be dead! ”

The people of Champa were frightened, and they were finally pounced on by the rebels and slashed and killed one by one.

The battle was short and fierce, and in just over ten minutes, the Red Mud Bay was filled with the corpses of more than 100 Cham soldiers.
