Chapter 493: A false alarm
When he came, the clan elders said that Master Han loved soldiers like sons, and would not withhold the money and food of soldiers. But whether the military pay will be deducted, no one knows until the day when the salary is paid. Xu Sankui only knew that there was grain in the camp, and at night he asked the sentinels to get white noodles and pots and spoons to roll out noodles, pickle gnocchi also received a large jar, and the four brothers who were elected to be the husbands were busy and cooked pot after pot.
Xu Sankui eats a lot of food, but he has a father and a mother at home, an elder brother, two younger brothers and a younger sister, and there is only so much food left over after paying rent every year, so he never dares to eat with an open stomach, sometimes he only eats one meal a day, and he can only eat three or four full.
Finally, on the day when he was full, he was not polite, and even ate five bowls in a row, and even drank the noodle soup. Because I ate too much and my stomach was uncomfortable, I went to the toilet several times, but I couldn't pull it out, so I just lay on the Chase bunk and turned over, and I couldn't sleep.
Knock, knock, knock......
There was another sound of the husband outside, Xu Sankui was worried that he would not be able to sleep and Ming'er would be out of energy, and the husband yawned and shouted: "Yin Zheng is four moments, the weather is dry and dry, be careful of the candle!" ”
Xu Sankui felt very strange, because whether it was the husband in the village or the husband in the city, one was lazier than the other, and he either missed or knocked dry on weekdays, and rarely reminded the people who slept to be careful of the candles. And there is no need to remind, after all, it is already five watches, and who will still light the lights.
But this thought was quickly dispelled by the full hiccup that he wanted to fight but couldn't beat, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply got up and put on his old cotton jacket, put on his shoes in the dark, gently opened the door and tiptoed out of the barracks. I was about to go to the latrine at the back of the wall along the wall, when I suddenly noticed a fire in the direction of the school yard.
Could it be that you can't go out of the water?
But if it really went out of the water, why didn't the husband call someone to save him?
Xu Sankui was puzzled, and he didn't care about going to the toilet anymore, so he walked to the camp gate like this, wanting to go out to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the camp gate, he found that the brothers who were supposed to be on duty on both sides of the camp gate were gone, and he was wondering if the two boys had sneaked back to sleep, when it suddenly became dark in front of him, and the whole person was actually covered by a sack, and then his neck was strangled to death, only to hear someone in his ear: "Don't make a sound, be honest with the master!" ”
Xu Sankui had never encountered this kind of thing, and he was suddenly so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and his mouth was covered by someone through a sack, and then he was tied tightly with a rope through a sack, and he didn't know where he was carried.
He was captured alive in a daze, and he didn't even know who was captured alive, but Su Shun, who was sitting in the middle of the school field, could see it clearly.
In the cold night, Su Shun was wearing a shiny silver needle sable fur fur, a white fox fur collar tied around his neck, and a warm hat. The white jade feather tube used for arranging flowers on his fur coat and warm hat is not cheap at first glance, if you count the crystal clear red coral top on the warm hat and the string of sandalwood pearls hanging on his chest, this outfit alone is worth five or six thousand taels!
Han Xiufeng has not bought cotton clothes in the past two years, and he is still wearing the old cotton jacket that is similar to the shroud, standing next to Su Shun and Wu Tingdong, Shi Zanqing, and Wu Tao of Gu'an Zhixian County, who are also wearing fur furs, it is like calling Huazi.
The roads outside the village were all guarded by the officials of the Provincial Department, the North Shore Hall and the Gu'an County Ya, and even there were people in the nearby fields, Yongxiang, Yang Debiao and Datou and others were also ready, Su Shun didn't care about how shabby Han Xiufeng was dressed, he glanced sideways at Ji Daji Er, who had just carried Xu Sankui, and then raised his head and said: "Brother Han, let's start, wait for dawn." ”
"Yes!"
Han Xiufeng bowed down to receive the order, and immediately turned around and said, "Yongxiang listens to the order, beat the drum!" ”
"Huh!"
With Han Xiufeng's order, Yongxiang immediately waved the order flag.
The rapid drum sounded, followed by the roars of Yang Debiao, Datou and Ji Daji, the big heads not only shouted to kill, but also invariably raised their handcuffs or tap fire guns and put them into the sky, for a time the drums were deafening, the gunshots were loud, and the shouts of killing were endless, and even the more than 20 relatives who were guarding Su Shun couldn't help but laugh and shouted.
Bang......
Bang......
The cannon also rang out, and the thunderous sound of the cannon on the flat ground shook people's hearts.
At the same time, the clerks who had been hiding outside the barracks on the east side of the garrison and the garrison office had lit the hay they had prepared in the morning, and in a short time even the nearby fields were burning bonfires.
Although I couldn't see the situation inside the garrison and the barracks, I could vaguely hear the chaos inside, and the village was even more ghostly and wolf-howling, and the people who were awakened in their sleep did not know what they were frightened into.
The gunshots became thinner and thinner, and Han Xiufeng roared: "Big head, don't be reluctant to gunpowder, put a few more shots, don't stop!" ”
"Yes!"
The big head and the others were really reluctant to let go just now, Han Xiufeng said that they had no scruples, they kept filling it quickly, and as soon as it was filled, they put it into the sky, and when it was put into the third round, more than a dozen figures rushed out of the garrison office, panicked so much that they couldn't even see so many officials standing in the center of the school field, so they fled to the southeast direction where the fire was slightly less.
"Master, a few grandsons over there have come out over the wall!"
"Master, rush out a few more!"
Yingxiao is not a child's play, Su Shun's relatives have to guard Su Shun's side, and they have no chance to fire guns or fires, so they can only stay in the middle of the school field to watch the excitement.
"More than 400 people, how did they run out?" Su Shun groaned.
"My lord, I guess it's?? Ran over the back wall. Wu Tingdong arched his hand.
At this time, a guard couldn't help but laugh again: "Master, look, those grandsons didn't even care about wearing clothes, and ran out bare-assed!" ”
Seeing that the boys who had just rushed out of the garrison were really bare-assed, and they were running this way in a panic, Han Xiufeng immediately ordered: "Big head, take them down." ”
"Yes." The big head and the others didn't care about letting go of their guns anymore, so they rushed up to block the way of those boys.
"What are you running, just so daring, you can't even wear clothes, how far can you run with your bare ass like this, and where can you run?"
"Kneel, don't look around!"
A soldier Yong relieved himself, recognized that the big head was the battalion officer of their middle battalion, and asked with a crying face: "Master Yuan, what kind of trouble are you making here?" ”
"What did I tell you about the night!" The big head also recognized that it was his own soldiers, and kicked one of them in hatred, and said with a curse: "Let you don't panic no matter what happens, even if someone comes to attack the camp at night, you have to get knives and guns first, and then hold on first and then find out what's going on, it's good that you can't even wear clothes and run out." If Lao Tzu doesn't see one of the long hairs, cut one off, and see two chop a pair? ”
"Master Yuan, little ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, kneel straight for Lao Tzu!"
was scolding, more than a dozen boys ran out, but this group was different from the previous ones, although they were all disheveled, and some were even barefoot, but they all had weapons in their hands, and they were not as panicked as the previous ones, and rushed out of the barracks to see a few bonfires lit in the center of the school field, and a group of officials and masters guarded the bonfires, looking like the leader hurriedly ran over and asked: "Master Han, Master Han, where is the thief, are you okay?" ”
"This official is fine, what's your last name and what's your name?"
"Master Han, the youngest surname is Yang, the name is Dacheng, the second oldest in the family, they all call me Yang Er."
"Which battalion?"
"The small one is in the right battalion, the left sentry is Bingshi."
"How many of them?"
"All yes, they are in the same room with me, all of them are of Bingshi."
"Yang Dacheng, okay, from now on, you will be the head of the right battalion and the left post." Han Xiufeng smiled slightly, then turned around and arched his hand towards Wu Tingdong: "Lord Wu, the lower officials want to promote this person as an additional foreign committee of our river camp, I wonder if Lord Wu can proofread?" ”
In a panic, not only did he not lose his armor, but he also brought out all the soldiers of the whole country, Wu Tingdong also felt that this Yang Dacheng was good, and said coldly: "Although they have just entered the camp, although they have not made an inch of merit, it is not impossible to promote one or two schools to boost morale." ”
"Master Xie." Han Xiufeng bowed down to thank him, then turned around and scolded with a smile: "Your kid's ancestral tomb is smoking, and you can become a Shangguan as soon as you enter the camp, why are you still stunned, why don't you hurry up and kowtow to Lord Wu, thank Lord Wu for your kindness." ”
This is Shangguan!
Yang Dacheng felt like he was dreaming, and it wasn't until Ji Er kicked him in the back that he reacted and hurriedly crawled to Wu Tingdong and kowtowed.
Thousands of troops are easy to find, Su Shun also felt that this was an unexpected gain, and was about to take a closer look at what this Yang Er looked like, when more than a dozen officials came over from the east with torches and a group of grizzled soldiers.
They didn't run over the wall to the east, but pushed the barracks landlord wall to rush out, and they really couldn't break the army, some were shirtless, some even had bare buttocks, and they couldn't take care of wearing shoes, so they were scolded by Yongxiang and others and knelt on the school field, one by one drooping their heads so frightened that they didn't dare to give up, and they shivered from the cold.
The guards on the periphery just put the defeated soldiers who had been gathered in this way, and they were sent to the school field one after another, and after a while, the school field was full of kneeling people, and the soldiers who were captured alive before were also released, and they also knelt on the school field with the soldiers who were escorted back.
Yongxiang took the torch and turned around, and returned to Han Xiufeng to report: "Master Han, the number is not right, there are still forty or fifty less." ”
"A few people, go in and have a look."
"Huh."
After waiting for about a stick of incense, more than 20 soldiers were escorted out, but these 20 or so were neatly dressed and their weapons were not lost. Seven or eight others were carried out, and I don't know whether they were trampled on by the soldiers who ran as soon as they heard the movement, or they were injured by a fall while running, but they were not lightly injured anyway, and they could no longer walk.
"Dezhong, roll call, see who is missing!" Han Xiufeng walked over to inspect the injuries that were carried out, and while motioning to carry them back to Lang Yi for treatment, he turned around and asked, "What's the matter with you guys, why didn't you hide in the camp and not come out?" ”
The soldiers who had just been escorted out by Yang Debiao and others were so frightened that their faces were blue and they didn't dare to squeak, and one of them saw Master Han staring at them, so they could only muster up the courage and say cautiously: "Master Han, the little one...... The little one couldn't figure out what was going on outside, so he stayed in the house and didn't dare to come out. ”
A tall soldier was worried that he would be punished, so he hurriedly said: "Master Han, the little one originally came up with it, but Chen Liu didn't let it, he guarded the door and didn't let us come out!" ”
"You are Chen Liu?" Han Xiufeng stared at the first soldier who spoke.
"Yes, it's small."
"Why don't you let them out?"
"The little one thought that the long hair was really killed here, the small one didn't go out of the house, the small one actually opened the door and went out to take a look, and saw that the outside was in a mess, all of them were running, and some of them didn't even care about wearing clothes, and they were worried that they would be scattered if they came out like this, if they really met the long hair again, the small one couldn't say that he couldn't deal with it, maybe he would give his life in vain, so he wanted to guard in the house first, even if the long hair attacked the camp, the small one could still kill two cushions."
"Which battalion are you from? What is the name of the daimyo? ”
"Master Han, the little one is from Zuoying, and the little one's father died early, so he didn't give the little one a big name. shouted Chen Liu, who was small in the village. ”
"It's not a big name, don't panic when you encounter the enemy, well, from now on you will call Chen Bupanic," Han Xiufeng patted him on the arm, and then turned back and said: "Lord Wu, you just said that it's okay to pull out one or two, what do you think about the school's promotion of Chen Bupanic as an additional foreign committee of my river camp?" ”
Without waiting for Wu Tingdong to speak, Su Shun got up and said with a smile: "I think it's okay, Chen is not panicking, not slow or busy, this name is not bad." ”
"Lord Squire said yes, then it will work." Wu Tingdong smiled slightly, thought about it and said: "Brother Han, let Yongxiang take them back to the camp after Dezhong finishes the roll call, on such a cold day, some of them are still naked and have no clothes, and it is not good to get sick when they catch a cold." ”
"The subordinate obeys."
"Master Han, I'm also sleepy, and I have to go back to Beijing at dawn to resume my life, so I'll go and rest first."
"Your Excellency."
"Stay, it's important to get down to business, you're busy."
"Yes."
Seeing Su Shun and Wu Tingdong and others gone, Chen Chongtong and Cui Hao also led a group of secretaries to get a good name, and before Han Xiufeng could speak, Chen Chongtong smiled bitterly and said: "Master Han, there are still sixteen people who don't know where they went, this is pitch black, to find it or not to find it?" ”
"No, if they can come back, they will all be included in the middle camp scout team, and if they run home, they will be removed from the list."
"If you come back and put them in the scouts?"
Han Xiufeng looked back at the officials who were waiting for Wu Tingdong to let them go back on the side of the school yard, and said with a smile: "Lord Wu and Shi Tongzhi have gathered more than 300 officials and young men to lay a net outside the village, they can still run out under the noses of so many people, isn't it a pity not to let them go as scouts." ”
Chen Chongtong reacted and couldn't help laughing: "It's really, isn't it too cheap for them to just let them be scouts?" ”
Han Xiufeng looked back at Bing Yong, who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly: "Then practice well, let them know that if they want to be a competent scout, they can't run." You have to learn how to find out the military situation, and when you encounter the siege of thieves, you have to have the courage to meet the brave on a narrow road and dare to fight a bloody way to send the military situation back! ”
