Volume 1 When the Wind Rises Chapter 121 Officials are not as good as bandits
Seeing that there was a situation outside the city again, Liu Ximing couldn't care about putting on a show, put on a batch of clothes, and yelled at everyone: "Long Xiangqu and Zhuang Ding follow me to the city gate, and the others go to the dormitory to hide." ”
After saying that, he led the people and trotted towards the city gate.
The deserters who had just been beaten stayed on the ground and looked at each other, not knowing what to do, Aunt Wu shouted angrily on the side: "If you don't want to be kicked out of the team, follow quickly, don't you look for a chance to make meritorious contributions, do you have to wait for pie to fall from the sky?" ”
A group of people suddenly realized that they limped after the pain.
Liu Ximing heard the footsteps behind him, looked back and ignored it, he just said a word to these people, looking at the performance.
If it weren't for the unstable foundation now, coupled with the fear of government interference, he would really have done it to slaughter all these people.
A group of team officials from Liujia Village went up to the watchtowers on both sides of the city gate, and everyone looked in the direction of the outside of the city, and sure enough, they saw hundreds of people rushing to the village.
"Prepare to close the door, and the dragon will line up."
Liu Ximing was taken aback when he saw this posture, he wouldn't be a thief again, right?
However, before the people at the door could move, Chen Yiding, who had rushed over with him, stood on the right side and looked at the tower and suddenly shouted: "Don't close the city gate!" ”
Well? Liu Ximing and a group of people all looked at Chen Yiding in surprise, what is the situation?
Chen Yiding hurriedly explained: "Ximing, take a closer look, whether that person looks like your second uncle." ”
I'm hot, Liu Ximing was taken aback when he heard this, he fixed his eyes on the past, and the silhouette of the rare person in the crowd was indeed somewhat similar to his second uncle Chen Yining.
This person is still carrying a person on his back, looking at that appearance, isn't it his grandmother?
The few people running next to the two of them were not cousin Chen Tianhua and others.
Liu Ximing reacted immediately, these people should be villagers from Yuxi Township who came to take refuge, but why are they so panicked?
"Long Xiangqu will go with me to save people!"
Since there were relatives in the formation, Liu Ximing couldn't stand idly by, he slipped down from the watchtower, and immediately ordered the rest of Qi Longxiangqu to go out of the city to save people.
As the two groups of people got closer and closer, Liu Ximing finally figured out the reason for the panic of the villagers.
Behind this group of fleeing villagers, there was a small group of infantry in pursuit, and looking at the dress, it was an official and military dress.
Grass your grandma, Liu Ximing saw with his own eyes that an old man who was running slowly was chased by these people, and he didn't see any hesitation from them, and the chasing soldier stabbed the old man in the back with a shot in the back, and fell straight to the ground.
What the fuck is this official army?
Liu Ximing didn't have time to think about it, seeing that Chen Yining and the others were about to collide with him, he shouted at the villagers: "Get out of the way, go to both sides, don't rush into battle." ”
However, it didn't work, these villagers were all scared away, and they only knew that they would run ahead of them, and it would be safe to run past others, and where would they listen to him at this time.
Liu Ximing led people to roar a few times, but it was useless, and seeing that there were not many chasing soldiers behind him, he had to turn around and shout to Long Xiangqu: "With Shao Rong as the demarcation point, the whole team will spread out to both sides!" ”
Shao Rong was thrilled when he heard the password, hurriedly put away the musket, pushed the person next to him to turn around and run to the other side, and the people behind him separated together.
Long Xiangqu had just divided into two teams to vacate the middle passage and came out, and all of these refugees suddenly rushed in from the middle, and they could see that the foreheads of Long Xiangqu on both sides were in a cold sweat, how stupid these people were, if we hadn't separated just now, I was afraid that the formation would be rushed immediately.
Liu Ximing was not surprised, he received too much information, and he immediately reacted to the ancient methods of dealing with the retreating personnel, but these people were just ordinary people, and he couldn't order a shot to deter, so he had to order the team to separate and leave a hole for this group of panicked people.
The officers and soldiers of the squad who were chasing behind the refugees didn't know whether they were red-eyed or how, but they clearly saw that Long Xiangqu led by Liu Ximing had already lined up outside the city, and there were even more than a dozen people who dared to rush up directly.
"First platoon of the musketeers, fire, no, warning shots into the sky!"
Bastard, Liu Ximing saw this group of people kill good and risky merit with his own eyes, and he planned to directly order the musketeers in the front row to shoot, but a cool breeze calmed his mind, this is an officer and soldier, who knows if it will cause any trouble, so he quickly changed his words.
"Bang", "Bang"
The sound of twenty muskets firing a salvo into the sky directly woke up the dozen or so people who wanted to pounce, and saw that hundreds of people were lined up neatly in Long Xiangqu, not like ordinary people, these people finally began to hesitate and waver, and finally they all ran back with a ghost scream.
"Stand, turn back, go back to the city."
Liu Ximing saw that these people were frightened back, and he was afraid that there would be other officers and soldiers behind, so he didn't dare to stay outside the city for a long time, so he directly ordered to go back to the city to defend.
Long Xiangqu's nearly 400 people cautiously guarded the enemy in the rear, while running back to the city in small steps, these officers and soldiers outside the city were only a few dozen people, seeing that Long Xiangqu retreated when the array was not chaotic, one by one only dared to linger behind and did not dare to come forward to pursue.
, thank God, fortunately, Lao Tzu has a big life, Liu Ximing took a big breath as soon as he entered the city, and quickly ordered someone to close the city gate and lock it up.
Uncle Chen Yiding was pulling Liu Ximing's grandmother Chen Zhushi to hug her head and cry at this time, and the other villagers who followed her also fell crookedly at the gate of the city panting and crying, Liu Ximing hurriedly rushed over to find out the details, and saw that his grandmother's family was here, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Grandmother, uncle, aunt, and cousins, everyone is fine, what's going on today?"
Several female relatives of the Chen family ran out of breath, and they were all tired and couldn't answer, Liu Ximing's cousin Chen Tianhua kept wiping the sweat on his face, and his face was full of expressions of running back from the ghost gate, and suddenly cried: "Woo woo, Xi Ming, fortunately you came in time, otherwise we will all become ghosts under the knife......
Chen Tianhua talked intermittently for a while, and Liu Ximing figured things out, it turned out that the gang of thieves in the mountains also passed by Yuxi Township when they crossed the border today, but Yuxi Township did not build a city wall like Liujia Village, but fortunately, the people working in the fields found out early and came back to report the news, and most of the villagers were able to escape into the hills near the township to hide.
When the thieves finished burning, killing and looting in the township, the villagers of Yuxi Township returned to the township to clean up for a long time, and the officers and soldiers of Bao Ningwei followed.
At first, these people were quite restrained, but later there were officers and soldiers who grabbed things and clashed with the villagers, and a few of them were angry and killed the villagers, and the generals who led the team simply tore their faces and directly shouted to kill everyone as thieves to repay their merits.
The villagers of Yuxi Township were so frightened that they scattered and fled, Chen Tianhua and they remembered that Liu Ximing's house was not far away, so the whole family fled to Liujia Village, and more and more villagers gathered on the road to follow them, so they attracted a group of officers and soldiers to chase and kill.
"Bastards who have cut off their children and grandchildren, do these dog mongrels even want to kill the township party?"
Liu Ximing was furious when he heard this, labor and management are also thick and black, and you dog mongrels really dare to kill good and take risks.
Chen Tianhua smiled bitterly when he heard this: "These people are not a township party, they are Baoningwei's people, and they have nothing to do with our Shunqing Mansion, so they naturally act unscrupulously, but they have suffered us and other people, and they don't even have a place to redress their grievances." ”
"What kind of bullshit injustice, if these dog mongrels really dare to come, Lao Tzu will directly lead the troops to slaughter them all, so as to comfort the people who were innocently killed by them."
Liu Ximing heard Chen Tianhua say this, and felt that he was really panicked, after so long, for the first time, he felt that killing people was for the sake of heaven, and the previous thieves were also forced to make a living or be coerced.
All said don't set up flags indiscriminately, Liu Ximing's words just landed, and a terrible voice came from the watchtower: "The enemy is attacking, and most of the people are coming up!" ”
The officers and soldiers of Baoningwei were indeed scattered around to pursue the villagers, but the purpose of their troops this time was to pursue the gang of thieves in the mountains, so after killing everywhere for a while, the team still followed the traces left by the thieves in the mountains and tigers to Liujia Village.
Not long after the warning of Liujia Village, on the small dirt slope four miles outside the west gate, a team of flags was unfurled, and the soldiers with spears continued to gather from behind the hillside, looking like a steel thorn from a distance.
A man wearing a phoenix-winged forehead helmet and wearing red chain mail paced to the front of the team on a horse, and began to look in the direction of the city gate of Liujia Village. ”
Well?
The general's originally squinted eyes widened suddenly, and when he heard that everyone had run into the city, he threw it over with a whip and shouted angrily: "A hundred people killed a few Diao people, and let them run away, what the hell are you eating?" And what's going on with the corpses outside the city? ”
