Chapter 305: Ping Baihu, Save Boden
When the heads of the Kong brothers were carried and appeared in front of the White Tiger Mountain bandits, they were shocked and completely desperate. And Sun Tu also took this opportunity to say solemnly: "It's not that the official wants to kill them quickly, it's really your Baihu Mountain who tried to collude with the Jurchens to kill the people of my Qingzhou, so you killed the two of them and thought that the latecomers would quit!" Now, if you still have the slightest intention of repenting, you should be honest and obedient to atone for your sins! ”
These words made those thieves confused for a while, but soon some people understood the meaning, and immediately someone shouted: "Prison spare my life, we just obey the orders of the two village masters, and never have the intention of colluding with the Jurchens, let alone resentment...... We are willing to sincerely return to the government, change our minds from now on, and be a new person! ”
At first, a few people said this, but soon, the remaining more than 100 people also reacted, and they all echoed and shouted, saying that they didn't know anything and were willing to sincerely submit to the imperial court.
Sun Tu actually didn't mean to get rid of all these people, otherwise it would be very bad for his reputation if the matter was spread. Now that the first evil is eliminated, it can be regarded as a big warning and lesson to these people, so he nodded and said, "It's better not to have it in this way." But it's hard to say what your sincerity is now, so I will have to look at your words and deeds in the future before making a decision. Now what you have to do is to go and call all the other people on the mountain down, and I promise you that I will not attack them again! ”
At this time, how could these people dare to raise objections, and immediately a few small leaders went up the mountain again to call the other old and young women and children down the mountain, and this time, Baihu Mountain was completely wiped out.
But Sun Tu no longer paid attention to the White Tiger Mountain at this time, with the murder of the Kong brothers, the bandits in the mountains have become a plate of scattered sand, there is no need to be afraid at all, and his main concern now has become the safety of Boden's side. Because I had already learned from Manggutai's mouth that they would attack in the county town of Boden tomorrow, no, it was nearly four watches now, and it should be at noon today.
"Qi wins!" Sun Tu suddenly turned around and shouted.
Qi Desheng, who had already been shocked by this series of changes, was a little unable to come back to his senses, and was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly stepped forward and responded: "The end will be." ”
"White Tiger Mountain will hand over the aftermath to you here. After dawn, you will lead the whole army to escort these captives from White Tiger Mountain to Boden to meet and support us. ”
"Huh? Governor, are you planning to rush to Boden overnight? Qi Desheng immediately asked nervously.
"It is a matter of life and death for the people of a county, and it cannot be delayed." Sun Tu said, his eyes quickly swept over the faces of Yang Zhi, Lin Chong, Luda and others, and at the same time clicked their names: "You wait with me and ride to Boden." How many horses are there in our army now? ”
An officer in charge of logistics affairs hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Back to the capital prison, we had twenty-three horses when we set off from Qingzhou, and then we copied twenty-four horses from Baihu Village, a total of forty-seven horses. ”
"Good. Forty-two men from the scout camp have been selected to go with me to Boden, and we must get to Boden before they start at noon, and defend the city and kill the thieves!" Sun Tu immediately ordered.
With the issuance of this order, all his subordinates and others were all
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Answered the order loudly, and then more than forty war horses were all pulled out, and at the same time, the crossbows seized from those mountain bandits were also sent to Sun Tu and them.
When the old and weak women and children on the mountain were brought down in a state of panic, Sun Tu and the other forty-seven horsemen had already galloped away, and after a while, there was no shadow in sight. And Qi Desheng was a little stunned, and then waved his hand: "The Jiazi battalion will send another fifty people up the mountain to search, in case there are still thieves hiding in it." After searching, bring back everything that can be used, and then set fire to the cottage for me. "If the White Tiger Village is not burned, it is difficult to guarantee when there will be a strong man who will occupy the mountain as the king here, and then it will take a lot of work.
Although it was dark and difficult, the Qingzhou soldiers showed the elite side of following the orders at this time, and without saying a word, the Jiazi battalion had already divided a group of people to go up the mountain, and the other horses continued to surround and guard the White Tiger Mountain bandits with a total of two hundred people, and then tied up all these people with ropes.
This busy, for more than an hour, when the white tiger mountainside suddenly burst into flames and thick smoke billowed out, the sky was already bright, which also made the people of Baihu Mountain cry bitterly. The home they relied on for their livelihood was finally completely destroyed from now on, but when the two owners of the village were killed and even their heads were hung on the flagpole in front of them, these people could no longer afford to resist and take revenge.
It wasn't until he saw the reactions of these people that Qi Desheng breathed a long sigh of relief. He knew that from this time on, White Tiger Mountain would be truly and completely destroyed. This made him a little trance, feeling that everything was a little false and dreamy.
You must know that just a few months ago, the bandits on Baihu Mountain made the people in Qingzhou talk about the tiger's color change, and no one could have thought that they could be exterminated. But since Sun Du was imprisoned in Qingzhou, everything has been different, not only has an elite division been trained, but also leveled Baihu Mountain in just a few days......
At this time, he completely believed that as long as everyone followed Sun Dujian, it would not be a dream to pacify all the mountain bandits and bandits in the entire Qingzhou. Even, maybe these people can establish a greater career outside of Qingzhou.
"The capital prison is mighty, our army will win!" At some point, a soldier suddenly shouted loudly. At first, there were only a few people, but soon, hundreds of soldiers shouted: "The capital prison is mighty, our army will win!" The cry soared into the sky, causing the birds to scatter and turning the captives into shivering quails.
Looking at the sky, Qi Desheng ordered the army to eat, and when they were full, they followed Sun Tu's footsteps to Boden in the northeast. At this time, both he and the hundreds of soldiers under his command were full of confidence in Sun Tu and them, thinking that their own capital supervisor would lead the army to Boden to defeat and kill the small group of Jurchens and protect the county seat of Boden!
¥¥¥¥¥
The same thought pervaded among the scout battalion sergeants who followed Sun Tu at full speed. Since they formed an army, they have been smooth sailing, whether it is thieves or the government, they have been eaten to death, so in the eyes of these scouts, the next Jurchens to face are not so terrible.
But Sun Tu is clearly not so optimistic. woman
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He really has never seen how fierce and good a real person is, but he knows a common saying - the Jurchen is not satisfied with ten thousand, and he is invincible! This is the very high opinion of the Jurchen people since they rose from the white mountains and black waters.
You must know that it is such a small tribe with a total strength of only tens of thousands, which has risen rapidly in just a few years, and then repeatedly defeated the Liao State, and finally defeated the Khitan Great Liao State, which is known for its cavalry and archery skills, what a terrifying combat power. Not to mention that they were able to cross the Yellow River and destroy the Northern Song Dynasty with only 20,000 or 30,000 people, forcing the Zhao and Song Dynasty to be able to live in a remote corner of the southeast.
It can be said that for Sun Tu, the traverser, the threat of the Liao State is just ordinary, but the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, which has not yet shown its dew, is the most terrifying existence. Even if what they are going to deal with now is not the real Jin Jurchens, but just a small force that has broken into Shandong out of nowhere, it is still not to be underestimated, and they still have to deal with it carefully.
So after rushing for a while, Sun Tu said solemnly: "We have to be careful when we go, these Jurchens are not easy to deal with." As long as you have the opportunity, you should kill and don't think about capturing prisoners. ”
These subordinates saw that he was solemn, so they restrained a little and nodded their heads in response. Behind them, Yang Zhi and Lin Chong and other skilled riders were still checking the repeater in their hands, and they were in a hurry to set off before, and they really hadn't carefully looked at this newly acquired weapon.
"San Lang, this repeater is indeed exquisite, but compared to the crossbow machine used by the forbidden army, the power is much smaller, but I am afraid that the real killing range is only about thirty steps. The capacity of this arrow box is not too large, only five arrows. However, as long as it can get within thirty paces of the enemy, it can kill them by surprise with its rate of fire. After a while, Yang Zhi finally figured out the characteristics of this repeater, and casually explained two sentences.
Sun Tu nodded, and ordered everyone again: "When the time comes, enter the city, once you meet the Jurchens, kill the enemy with a crossbow first, and never let them have any chance to take a breath and fight back." ”
Everyone agreed again, and now they were really a little concerned, the capital eunuch had never valued an enemy so much before.
After galloping for more than two hours, when the horses were so tired that their hooves were weak and they were panting, Sun Tu and the others finally arrived near Boden before the end of the day. However, the moment they saw the county seat, everyone's faces were no longer filled with joy at arriving in time, but instead with a look of anger!
I saw that a large area of fire was already lit up in the county town of Boden a few miles away, and even in such a daytime, the flames could still be seen, not to mention the black smoke that accompanied the fire.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from the direction of the county seat, in addition to a large smell of smoke, there was a faint scream and cry, which made the team that had worked hard to save the city fall into silence for a short time, and many people's hands had already clenched the reins and weapons, and their eyes were already full of anger and doubt-
How so? Didn't you say that the Jurchens had to wait until the people of Baihu Mountain lured the officers and soldiers in the city away before they started? Didn't you say they wouldn't do it until noon? Why is it that the county seat of Boden has already been attacked at the beginning of the morning?
Could it be that the Manggutai deceived them?
