Chapter 1141: Killing
Tang Zhong lay on the door, looking through the crack in the door at the scene like Shura hell outside the door.
This street is inhabited by the rich families of Pingxiang, each of them is a deep house compound, at this moment, the thick gate of these ordinary high-ranking families has been broken, and there are screams from time to time, occasionally someone escapes from the gate, but they will be caught up immediately, and then hacked to death by a knife on the street.
And on the street, the panicked people ran wolf-like, and behind them, bandits armed with knives and guns laughed wildly and chased after them, and not everyone killed, as if they were just looking at who was not pleasing to the eye, so they slashed down with the sound and poked down with a shot.
A lot of people can't run anymore.
Many people were already in despair, holding their heads against the high courtyard wall, and their whole bodies were huddled in a ball, praying that these fierce and evil people would not see themselves.
But even so, there will be bandits who will pull these people over at will in the process of running, and then stab them with a knife.
"Captain Chen, save them!" Turning around, he looked at Chen Xiu who was standing in the courtyard, and knelt down with a poppy.
Chen Xiu, the internal guard who made a deal with Liu Xinda, was standing in the courtyard at the moment, and behind him, more than 20 Tang Army soldiers stood with swords in their helmets and armor.
Tang Zhong's house is not small, although it is not the top on this street, but it is also medium and upward, and Tang Zhong is a famous ceramic merchant in Jiangxi, the reason why in this turmoil, he can have all the beards and tails, is because there is a strange picture pasted on his door, occasionally there are bandits who pass by here and want to break in, see this pattern, immediately avoid it.
This is a pair that represents that this family is favored by the Northern Tang Army, and every subordinate of Liu Xinda basically knows this pattern by heart.
Tang Zhong got on the line with the Northern Tang people three years ago.
"That's a red-eyed rebel!" Chen Xiu shook his head and said: "Do you think that if we people go out, we can save a few, one is not good, it causes conflicts, and even we have to get in." ”
"Captain Chen, most of these people are ordinary people!" Tang Zhong kowtowed heavily and said sadly: "Many of them are people that Tang Zhong is familiar with, looking at them like this, Tang Zhong really can't bear it." Captain Chen, the Tang Army is mighty, I believe that as long as you appear, you can always save some, even if you save one, it is also a rescue! ”
Chen Xiu silently looked at Tang Zhong who kowtowed again and again, watching the other party's forehead gradually ooze blood, he sighed, walked to the door, and opened the door with a bang.
Just a few steps away from the gate, on the side of the street, a woman who looked well dressed was being pressed by a bearded soldier who ripped off the woman's earrings, necklace, and hairpins on her head. The woman was frightened, and struggled violently, screaming and scratching with both hands, but scratching the bearded man all over his face.
The bearded man was furious, and with a force in his hand, he tore the woman's clothes in half, and suddenly revealed the moon-blue belly pocket inside, and a large area of snow-white skin was exposed in broad daylight.
A few chaotic soldiers around him were clapping and cheering loudly.
Chen Xiu didn't say a word, choked and pulled out the knife at his waist, flew over with an arrow step, grabbed the bearded soldier's hair bun with one hand, and turned his head over, wiped the knife in his hand, followed by a flying kick, the bearded soldier rolled to the side, blood splashed all over the ground.
The woman on the ground had already fainted. Fortunately, she fainted, otherwise the blood would have sprayed on her, and she was afraid that she would have gone insane.
After a few chaotic soldiers around were stunned for a moment, they screamed, and pounced on them with their knives, and the Tang troops behind Chen Xiu rushed up, knocking them all to the ground with three strikes and five divisions.
The movement here attracted the attention of the rebels in other places, and several rebels looked at the number of people here, but turned and ran.
Chen Xiu picked up the woman on the ground and dragged him to the Tang Mansion, while beckoning to the cowering people on the street: "If you want to live, come in." ”
Looking at Chen Xiu and those Tang Jun, these people were puzzled, until Tang Zhong appeared and greeted them loudly, these people woke up like a dream, stumbled towards the Tang Mansion, and poured in through the gate.
At this time, there were neat footsteps and whistling sounds on the street, and a group of soldiers and horses appeared, different from the previous rebels, these people were in a neat formation, with bright armor, and they didn't look at the refugees on both sides of the street, only those who were at a loss stood in front of them, and they were slashed to death on the spot.
Chen Xiu took a deep breath and choked back the knife into the sheath, but the person stood proudly under the ladder, while more than 20 Tang soldiers were lined up in battle formation behind him, and a soldier shook off a banner of the Tang army with a loud bang.
Suddenly seeing this flag appear, an officer of the Liu Department who led the team was a little stunned. Raising his hand, he stopped less than ten steps away from Chen Xiu, and the two sides confronted each other.
And at this moment, there were still quite a few people pouring into the Tang Mansion from behind Chen Xiu along the bottom of the wall on the other side.
Captain Liu's officer strode forward and stared at Chen Xiu.
"Northern Tang Army?"
"When I was in Jiujiang, you General Liu saw me!" Chen Xiu said coldly.
The lieutenant turned his head to look at the Chen soldiers lying on the ground, and said angrily: "You have crossed the line, General Chen said, you are our allies, but you killed our people." ”
"I can't get used to it!" Chen Xiu's tone was cold, and he didn't give an inch: "You are the one who has crossed the line, killed people who shouldn't be killed, and did things that shouldn't be done, then you have to die." ”
The captain was furious, suddenly drew his sword, and hundreds of soldiers behind him shouted, and the spears and crossbows in their hands were raised in unison, aiming at Chen Xiu.
Chen Xiu snorted coldly: "Do you all want to die?" ”
When it comes to the strength at the moment, Chen Xiu is far from being the opponent of the other party, but if you want to talk about the overall strength of the two sides, Liu Xinda is not a person.
Just one Datang flag made the captain officer, who was already a little angry at the moment, hesitate. It's not difficult to kill these people in front of you, the question is, dare to kill?
The two sides are deadlocked, and neither side will give a step.
Until the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the street.
An officer appeared between the two on horseback, turned over and dismounted, but unceremoniously gave the lieutenant officer a whip and shouted angrily, "Go back." ”
The lieutenant officer opened his mouth to speak, but finally said nothing, turned around suddenly, and quickly left here with more than a hundred of his soldiers.
"Captain Chen, offended!" The officer arched his hand and said, "We, General Teng, ask you to come and meet." ”
"Very well, I just wanted to meet him!" Chen Xiu said coldly. "Come two people, come with me. For the rest, stay here and guard! ”
In the former prefect's mansion in Pingxiang City, Chen Xiu met Liu Xinda.
Obviously, Liu Xinda already knew what had happened, and when he saw Chen Xiu, he just said lightly: "Captain Chen, you haven't led soldiers, but now the situation is like this, I believe you can understand it." You asked me to kill some people, and I did, but once such killings began, it was not easy to stop. ”
"With General Liu's ability, I don't believe you can't take it. I don't think killing these ordinary people will bring you any benefit other than giving these people some deformed pleasure. Chen Xiu said.
"I can't help it!" Liu Xinda looked directly at Chen Xiu: "According to your requirements, I will go all the way south, but the battle in the future will become more and more difficult to fight, because the opponent will pay more and more attention to us, and the preparation will become more and more sufficient." I have such a small number of menpower, I can't afford to wear out, and the weapons you sell us are getting more and more expensive, I have to try my best to raise food and these money, and I have to make sure that my soldiers are stimulated enough, these people are poor, but no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat, and the little things add up! ”
Pointing to the mountains of copper coins, silver taels, gold nuggets, and all kinds of jewelry in the courtyard, the corners of Chen Xiu's mouth twitched twice, and he found that among the piles of treasures, there were actually some severed hands, and rings of gold, silver, or precious stones were on their hands. The robber was obviously too lazy to, so he cut it down cleanly with a knife. As for taking these things off, it's none of their business.
Looking at these bloody gold and silver treasures, Chen Xiu nodded: "General Liu, stop these fearless killings, I'll go to General Ren, what you need will be delivered soon, and we will also give you a suitable price again, our only requirement is not to kill those who don't deserve to die, and the killing in Pingxiang must stop now." ”
Liu Xinda smiled: "Very good, just wait for Captain Chen's words." But Captain Chen, what you said, can it count? ”
"What I promised, it will be done."
"Well, three days, let's stop for three days, and after three days, if we don't have a suitable answer, we have to do it again, and raise enough money and food to buy enough weapons from you."
"If you kill innocents like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to buy our weapons again." Chen Xiu glanced at the other party and said, "General Liu, Qian Wenzhong's three roads have approached Pingxiang, and Ding Taiyi is forming a regiment to train the army under the pressure of the gentry and landlords in the territory. You're in need of our weapons even more. To tell you the truth, this time I have personally relented, but if you still threaten us with such things in the future, maybe I will be transferred because I am not qualified for the position, and the newly transferred person is afraid that it will not be good to talk like this. One thing you should know is that we don't have to be you. ”
