Section 209 Retribution, end

The officers and soldiers and treasury officials who guarded the armory of Zhending Mansion enjoyed peace for a long time, and they usually only thought about how to seek personal gain as much as possible from it, and they were really not much vigilant.

You must know that the armory is in the North City, only a few blocks away from the North City Barracks, not too far. Now the city is under martial law again.

Who would dare to risk the crime of killing the head and rob the armory in broad daylight? Where can you run away if you rob it?

With mental arithmetic or unintentional, the result can be imagined.

Caught off guard, one hundred and eighty defending officers and soldiers and more than a dozen treasury officials were in a hurry, and before they could beat the gong to warn them, they were slaughtered cleanly......

The main generals such as Chen He, the supervisor of the army, and the supervisor of the soldiers and horses, Zhou Jinyi, were urgently discussing how to perfectly encircle and suppress the evil forces of the Tigers in the three districts of the east and southwest of the city.

Wang Xiaodi regarded the Tiger Gang as a civilian township soldier who could make up for the lack of an army and could be independently manipulated by himself.

This force does not need the government to spend a penny, but can benefit from it, and it can be used better than the numb and rigid waste box army composed of displaced people, which is the proud work of Wang Xiaodi's heart.

Under the deliberate cultivation and indulgence of the prefect Wang, the Tiger Gang has developed to the present day, and has virtually gathered almost the most bold, murderous and evil ruffians in Quanzhending Mansion and neighboring districts and counties, and the power is too great, the manpower is not much less than that of officers and soldiers, and most of them are young and strong.

Chen hated Wang Xiaodi, who had robbed him of his power and interests, and had long vowed that Wang Xiaodi would not die well, and he held his breath for nearly three years before he got a chance to vent.

Wang Xiaodi's violent death can calm the hatred of the old man, and the Wang family wants to get rid of the punishment?

No way.

Chen gritted his teeth.

He wanted to exterminate the LTTE and make a big deal out of it. At that time, the officials sent to the imperial court to investigate the dead Wang Xiaodi were labeled as training private soldiers to plot misdeeds and plot rebellion, so that Wang Xiaodi's family was full of people who were alive. Take revenge with this and export the evil spirit that has been backlogged for more than two years.

But this battle is not easy to fight. The task is daunting.

Fortunately, a ruffian is a ruffian, and without the sharp weapons that officers and men are equipped with, and there are no well-trained officers and men, this battle is still certain.

During their discussion, they vaguely heard a noisy exclamation from the armory, but they only thought that it was the Tiger Gang who did not know whether they were alive or dead and harmed the people, and they didn't take it seriously, and they didn't know that the armory was robbed, and the rich and noble district of Beicheng was suddenly attacked by the fierce attack of the main force of the Tiger Gang.

The officers and men patrolling suddenly saw a large force of troops coming, and they didn't know why. was about to ask with a smile on his face, but was slashed madly.

Poor, many patrolmen died without understanding what was happening.

Since you want to kill people and sell more goods, you will naturally deal with the richest and most oily magnates first.

Wang Xiaodi's family, relatives are wearing linen and wearing filial piety and crying, and the cronies and servants are busy hanging banners and setting up a funeral shed, urgently making a coffin to collect the body of the prefect of Wang's mansion, waiting for the officials of the palace to come to mourn, but unexpectedly, the tiger gang ruffian suddenly came to kill at this time.

The flattering smiling faces that the Wang family was once familiar with have now turned into murderous and bloodthirsty smiles reflected in the shadow of swords and swords.

The boss said that time was urgent. Race against time.

In order to complete the looting as quickly as possible, the ruffians killed and cut down when they met, and the corpses were covered with blood.

However, those concubines who fled with their wealth and the vast majority of the dismissed slaves and maids who saw that the prefect's backers were gone, escaped this catastrophe.

The prefect of Wang's mansion has worked hard for officials in the past three years to collect more than 100,000 windfalls. In the blink of an eye, it became the wealth of the LTTE. Boxes of gold and silver treasures, silk and satin, were quickly carried by the gangsters into the carriage in the house. Even the quilts, clothes, boots, pots, and ...... in the house I don't let it go.

Winter is coming soon. Escaping from Fucheng must be to set up a village in the mountains and wilderness to take the road of rebellion, and it is impossible to do without these daily necessities.

Wang Xiaodi was ambitious and rampant, and he only ended up extinct.

The general sentence was Chen and his family, the prison of the army, the prison of soldiers and horses, and the important members of Cangcao...... Almost at the same time, this was encountered.

The small prefecture is not Tokyo at the foot of the rich and noble Son of Heaven. How many powerful families can there be?

The rich district of Beicheng was quickly washed by the Tigers.

Chen He and other officials also got the news at this time, and they were not stunned one by one. It's just that the premonition is not good, and the pain is so bad that he falls into a coma on the spot.

In the past, the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, who used to drag and put on the shelf, dragged and dragged the skin, suddenly disappeared under this violent stimulation.

Zhou Jinye didn't understand the raffle of the Tiger Gang, which had always been scattered. Why did he behave so decisively and quickly this time?

Could it be that the Tigers and even the Wang Governor's Mansion really plotted against each other?

underestimated the ruffian, and was negligent in the protection of his family.

He glared angrily, got up and drew his sword, and shouted urgently: "Order the whole army to urgently follow the general to the north city to destroy the evil bandits and save people." ”

But all that greeted the officers and soldiers in Beicheng was the raging fire and the corpses of the officers and soldiers patrolling everywhere.

The treacherous and slippery judgment Chen was always calm, and at this time, only the panic was left at a loss, and his face was pale.

He was worried about his family and the huge amount of money he had amassed, and he only cared about his own home, and his sharp voice seemed to be able to cut through the sky, and he frantically summoned and ordered the officers and soldiers to go with him to his home to save people and put out fires.

The other generals, including Zhou Jinyi, the commander of the soldiers and horses, were not much better. Each to his own family, he divided his troops.

Waiting for Zhou Jinge to lead the troops home quickly, he saw that the door of the house was wide open, the corpses at home were bloody and messy, and he almost fainted in front of him, and finally calmed down, in the end, he led the troops to fight, the most basic general quality is, he immediately drew his sword and fiercely ordered the gathering of troops to chase and kill the rebels, and sent people to urgently send orders to the other three garrisons to strictly guard the city gates, and let the rebels flee in fear of battle, beheaded.

It's a pity that he is in a hurry, but the officers and soldiers are not in a hurry. He vowed to kill all the rebels of the Tigers and take revenge. Officers and soldiers don't think so.

Hehe, when you are an official, you remember the importance of us as soldiers? Want us to be the first to help?

Why did you go earlier?

Don't you think so at first glance when you withhold our pitiful military salaries and make our families hungry and cold?

One by one, the obedient prefect of the dog followed to make money and reap benefits, leisurely ate and drank with a big belly and a round waist and a shiny face, and indulged in the ruffian bullies to bully us as soldiers, making the soldiers not as good as bandits, why didn't you think that there would be today's end?

……

Wang Xiaodi did train the officers and soldiers to beat the officers and soldiers with ruffians and dared to fight more fiercely than before, but the essence of the army has not changed in the slightest, and it is still a vain army, and there is no desire to fight. hope, without the courage and will to fight. The effect of daring to fight is also limited to dealing with local ruffians, provocations, oppression, and extortion of weak people in a peaceful environment in peacetime.

Do you want the ruffians to face the ruffians equipped with weapons in the army, and you want them to fight the Tiger Gang, who are in a hurry and have jumped over the wall in a hurry?

That's going to kill you. The battlefield is not a school military field, and there are many opportunities to escape, why are we soldiers working hard?

The expectations of the officials are too great, and the requirements are too high.

Chen Ji and Zhou Jinqi and other officials had planned well, but everything planned was based on the reliability of the army.

They habitually think that the army and the ruffians really fight, and the well-equipped regular army must be able to eliminate the ruffians who can only play with their fists and clubs, and only the army's unique bows and crossbows and other long-range sharp weapons can kill the ruffians with heavy casualties and collapse with one blow, and then the real knives and guns, swords and guns are like a forest, and the ruffians must not be slaughtered by one-sided?

With a harsh military order, everything you want will come true.

They didn't think much about whether the army was willing to honestly obey their orders and sacrifice their lives to fight.

Even if there is no plan of Zhang Yu, the officers and soldiers will deduct the guards at the city gate, and the rest will chase and suppress a small number of ruffians in the whole city, and the ruffians can use their geographical advantages to play ambushes, beat sticks, assassinations, etc., after searching and chasing each other in the alleys and alleys, the army has no determination to fight to the death, but the ruffians have to go all out to survive, and the final outcome of such a battle is unpredictable.

The communications corps honestly immediately rode off to inform the defenders of the other three districts. But the rapid gathering of the Beiying army to chase and kill became a fantasy.

Many generals still want to put out the fire in their homes as soon as possible, to find out if their family members have survived, whether the hidden money is still there, especially their relatives, and they can't give up if there is a slight possibility. Moreover, a luxurious and comfortable home cannot be destroyed by fire.

I have to live the rest of my life.

Who wants to play the game of firefighting and risk their lives to fight the crazy Tigers?

When the generals heard the order of the capital eunuch, they argued and hesitated in a gaffe of heart-wrenching rage.

In the future, the traitor will have time to chase and suppress, and he will be trapped in the city. But the fire is merciless, and it can't wait. Even if you don't think about your own family, you can't let the fire burn. Autumn is high and dry, what if a big fire spreads and affects the whole city?

Officers and soldiers were busy fighting fires.

The ruffians must have poured oil on the fire. The fire was raging, the flames were soaring into the sky in many places, the sound was terrifying, the walls of the house collapsed and people shouted, all kinds of sounds were mixed together, and the scene was too noisy. Who can hear what the heralds are shouting?

The vast majority of people are pretending to be confused. The leader of the team did not move. Officers and soldiers will definitely not assemble.

Zhou Jinye was furious, and personally went out to whip and whip and drink orders, and hurriedly gathered to chase the enemy. The fire was put out by the people of the city.

Yan Qing was wearing an ordinary military uniform, with a black and gray face on the scene, and saw that under the desperate efforts of Zhou Dujian to drive away, the officers and soldiers began to slowly assemble, and couldn't help but sneer secretly.

He quietly disappeared into a hidden place, and aimed a divine arm crossbow that was temporarily put aside by officers and soldiers to fight the fire.

Zhou Dujian was red-eyed and commanded his own soldiers and generals to gather troops, defenseless, and the noise of the scene also drowned out the sound of crossbow strings. The sharp arrow, three feet long with a thumb thickness, shot Zhou Dujian through the chest at a distance of sixty or seventy paces. The strong force also knocked him off his horse.

Yan Qing's plot was successful, and he immediately abandoned the crossbow and fled according to the observed retreat, leaving only the officers and soldiers who were in a hurry after exclaiming.

In another place, Chen, who was shouting and screaming for fire, was also shot dead by Deng Yunzhong.

The prefect of Zhending Mansion died, and the two chief officers of the military and government also died, and without an authoritative leader, the officers and soldiers suddenly fell into even greater chaos. (To be continued.) )
