Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Fight Begins

Half a month later.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the sea breeze brings a hint of chill on the body.

On the open field bordering Yancang Village and the small wharf, a large number of people gathered early.

Today is the agreed day of the fight, and Wang Laipin took the villagers to the side of the canal early in the morning.

In the art of war, we pay attention to waiting for work, and immediately participate in the weapon fight when we run all the way, compared with waiting for a long time to recuperate and then carry out the weapon fight, the combat effectiveness must be much different.

Therefore, Wang Laipin came to the field early in the morning with the well-fed and well-fed villagers.

After Wang Laipin came to the field, he looked around, and was very satisfied with the canal between the two sides.

It is equivalent to having a natural moat, which is more conducive to the line tactics practiced by the villagers with flintlock pistols during this time.

Wang Laipin, with thirty village warriors armed with flintlock pistols, stood at the back of the ridge.

In the empty fields, there are still more than 200 salt ladies who are young and strong.

These salt Ding Qingzhuang stood not far away with a rake and bamboo spear in hand, looking at the empty land in front of them with a serious expression, waiting for the arrival of the green hand shopkeeper with the green hands.

The shopkeeper didn't know what he was thinking, he had been waiting for an hour, but the other party still didn't bring the green hands over.

He didn't wait for the green hand to be in charge, but waited for a team leader of the third class in the yamen, standing on the dirt road at the edge of the empty field with a dozen or so officials.

Looking at the ridge where the fight was about to take place from a long distance, I didn't mean to come over.

Wang Youzhen also followed, also holding a flintlock pistol in his hand and a Qijia knife pinned to his waist.

Behind him, Wang Erlong, who was dressed in a green robe, held the Spring and Autumn Broadsword, and stroked the long hair used for singing on his face.

The people in the countryside usually don't have any pastime, and it is rare to encounter a fight, Wang Youzhen originally thought that there would be a lot of ordinary people standing on the dirt road.

He was even ready to watch the three layers inside and the three layers outside, but he never expected that there would be no ordinary people who came to see the excitement.

Wang Youzhen glanced back at the officials on the dirt road, and thought to himself, could it be that the government stopped the ordinary people who came to see the excitement?

It's impossible to think about it, if the common people really want to come over to see the excitement, where can thousands of ordinary people be stopped by a dozen or so officials.

Besides, where do those officials in the county government have time to pay attention to such trivial matters.

For example, the fights that often occur in the countryside are prohibited by the Ming law.

But the yamen in the county generally don't dare to take care of it, because they can't manage this matter.

As few as a few dozen, or as many as a few thousand, once the fight is really red-eyed, maybe even the officials will dare to slaughter it.

If the common people in the countryside die too much, they can be pushed to the weapon or the rogue, and if the officials in the government die too much, it will affect the political achievements of the officials and masters.

Not to mention that Changyi County, which is far away from the emperor, is Daxing County, which is next to the capital, once there is a real fight, the official yamen will at most send a few people to clean up the mess afterwards, and they will never dare to go up to stop the fight.

Another hour passed. In the open field opposite the ridge, a small black dot began to appear.

When these little black dots get closer and closer, they become a whole bunch of people.

It was the second-in-command Iron Face who was the leader, and he came to the place of the fight with all the green hands under his hands.

When the young and strong salters saw these green hands who usually did all kinds of evil, their hearts were all tight, and they knew that this matter was difficult to handle today.

Not only are the green hands no less numerous, but the guys in their hands are much better than them.

There are not only short blades such as sharp knives and waist knives, but also many long blades such as iron spears and spears.

If you really want to fight, such a difference will occupy too much of an advantage.

Before the salt Ding Qingzhuang on his side rushed over, he was stabbed in the heart by the opponent's spear and spear.

The second-in-command Iron Face came to the vicinity of the ridge, and looked at the mud legs on the other side of the canal, and a mockery inevitably appeared on his face.

Originally, this time, the second-in-command Iron Face was ready to come alone, and it was enough to bring dozens of green hands.

Out of the prudence of doing things for so many years, the green hand shopkeeper finally decided to let all the green hands participate in this weapon fight, and brought all twenty border soldiers over.

The blue-handed shopkeeper stood at the back of the crowd, and twenty border guards surrounded him closely, holding shields and goose feather knives in their hands, protecting the safety of the blue-handed shopkeeper to the death.

The shopkeeper had been observing Yan Ding Qingzhuang opposite, and when he saw Yan Ding Qingzhuang holding a rake and a bamboo gun in his hand, he thought that he was a little too cautious this time.

With only more than 200 people, as well as more than 30 villagers with bombed bird guns in their hands, it is estimated that they will not be able to withstand a wave of charges from the green hands.

Not to mention that there are still twenty border veterans by his side, this time the other party will definitely lose.

What really worries the shopkeeper is that the twelve officials are looking to come to pull the rack, but they are actually here to make a sum of money.

This time the fight will definitely hurt a lot of people.

As long as it is a dead person, the head of the squad and a dozen or so officials can make a lot of money from it.

But it doesn't matter, this bit of money is nothing compared to his face and the salt classes in the three villages.

When the people on both sides arrived, the squad leader and a dozen officials looked over.

In a vast open field.

There were hundreds of people standing on the street, and a few hundred people standing on the east side.

Between the two sides, it is separated by a canal and a ridge.

The sea breeze howled, sweeping through the chills.

It's a bit of a battlefield battle.

Seeing that the people on both sides had arrived, the squad leader and the officials left here as fast as they could.

Why don't the common people come here, that is, they are afraid that the two sides will kill the red eyes, and they will kill the people who are watching the show.

Before the two sides began to fight, the head of the squad took the officials to stand here for a while, which meant to tell the two sides that they must give a sum of money afterwards.

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, the fool was here to watch the show.

If you're not careful, you may put your own life into it.

The squad leader and the servants left, and the expression on the face of the second-in-command Iron Face was a little hideous, and he, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, suddenly shouted: "Rush over and kill these dogs." ”

"Rush."

"Kill."

"Kill one and give three taels of silver."

With the order of the second-in-command Iron Face, in the vast and empty field, there was a sudden sound of shouting and killing.

Hundreds of people located on the east side of the Heavenly Pavilion of the Water Canal rushed over.
