Chapter 59: Bloodbath in Red River Town
Honghe Town is the largest town in Muzhou, and it is also the richest town, due to the rebellion, most of the people fled, despite this, there are still thousands of people left, especially none of the ten richest people in the town have left, but they have not been looted, on the contrary, they have been protected by Fang Baihua.
Under the nest, there will be no eggs!
In the range of Fang La, almost all the rich people have been looted, and most of them are still the kind of families that have died. And there is a reason why Honghe Town has not been purged, first of all, Song Sannian and Fang La, the top ten richest people, have been friends for many years, and secondly, the top ten richest people have always supported Fang La. Of course, these are not the core reasons, the most important thing is that Fang Baihua has been married to Song Sannian's son Song Zhiping as a daughter-in-law, not only that, but Song Sannian's daughter Song Baimei was also designated as the crown princess of the crown prince Fang Tianding early, in this case, to ensure that there was no looting.
Shi Bao sat in Muzhou to ensure the safety of Honghe Town and Qingxi Town, but the people of Honghe Town never expected that Shi Bao would let his subordinate Shi Jintian purge Honghe Town in order to prepare for the establishment of military salaries.
As soon as the sky was blackened, Shi Jintian set off with the team, this team was carefully selected by him, of course, the selection criterion was not elite soldiers, but cronies, because this time it was not a previous action, or use his own people to rest assured.
On the march, Shi Jintian said to Yan Shun: "Brother Yan, how many people have come from the official army to attack Muzhou this time, you must know that Shi Bao is very powerful, ranking third among the eight heavenly kings under the Holy Father, and his combat strength has almost reached an outrageous level. ”
"Our Lord Liu personally went out, at the beginning in the capital, our big man fought against Wang Yin, Fang Jie and Ling Hu Zhan, one of the three major assassins, the result was to kill Ling Hu Zhan on the spot, capture Fang Jie alive, and let Wang Yin escape in embarrassment, I don't know if the stone treasure in your mouth is powerful, or Wang Yin is powerful?" Yan Shun is nonsense, he knows that only by giving Shi Jintian enough confidence can this guy be willing to work for the imperial court, if only a thousand Long Xiang troops arrived in Muzhou this time, killing Shi Jintian would not betray Shi Bao.
OMG! It's so terrifying, under the hands of the Holy Prince, the Eight Heavenly Kings are the existence of superior combat effectiveness, especially the first-ranked Wang Yin, who has almost been mythical to the realm of invincibility, and now it's good, the first-ranked Wang Yin plus the fifth-ranked Fang Jie, and the heavily hired assassin Linghu Zhan together have not been able to beat Lord Liu, which shows how powerful the imperial court is. At this time, Shi Jintian really surrendered.
Anyway, Wang Yin, Ling Hu Zhan, and Fang Jie acted together, and as a result, Ling Hu Zhan was killed, Fang Jie was captured, and only Wang Yin fled alone, which is a well-known thing in the world, so Shi Jintian didn't think Yan Shun was bragging.
When he was about to arrive at Honghe Town, Shi Jintian said: "Although this Honghe Town is only a town, it is heavily guarded, and it is much more tightly defended than Muzhou, especially since the town has only one main gate, and there is no other exit at all. ”
Yan Shun smiled and said nothing, for him, as long as the imperial court wants to take Honghe Town, he will directly transfer trebuchets, a long-range attack, and blow the main gate to pieces, and he will soon be able to kill it, a small Honghe Town, no matter how it is said, it is also a local armed force, and it is okay to guard against rebels, but it is still almost impossible to target the official army.
"Okay, let's go in now, enter from the main gate, anyway, Fang Baihua took away two thousand elite soldiers, we said that they came to change the guard, there is a letter from General Shibao, they will not open the door, as long as they go in, then everything will be simple."
The rebels have no military cultivation, and the local armed forces in Honghe Town are even worse, Fang Baihua's 1,000 elite soldiers are all in the town, and the one responsible for guarding the gate of the town is the Song family's family, headed by Song Kai, the second official family, this guy still has a certain friendship with Shi Jintian.
Since there is only one main gate in Red River Town, and there is a very wide Red River outside the town, as long as the suspension bridge is pulled up, you will not want to enter the town.
"Who, what, if we go any further, we'll release the arrows."
Shi Jintian ordered the soldiers to stop, and he stepped forward on a donkey, and when he reached the edge of the moat, he shouted loudly: "This general, Shi Jintian, has the order of the generalissimo from my family to come to help defend Honghe Town, and hurry up to open the door." ”
"Wait a minute."
Jia Ding quickly reported to Song Kai, the second official who was drinking, this guy was confused, but when Fang Baihua left during the day, he did say that Muzhou would send troops to assist in the defense, although he didn't say the specific general who came, nor did he say the specific time, anyway, it was almost the same in his opinion.
After hearing that it was Shi Jintian, Song Kai said in a daze: "Put down the drawbridge, let General Shi Jintian come in first, and then let the army in after I have verified the seal." ”
After seeing Shi Jintian, Song Kai said in a daze: "Brother Shi, why did you come here so late, since you came, then accompany my brother and me to drink two cups." ”
"It's fine to drink until dawn, but my brother is still outside, so I can't let them sleep in the field."
Although it was Jiangnan, it was already very cold at the end of December, and it was obviously unrealistic to sleep in the wilderness, so Song Kai hurriedly ordered the suspension bridge to be lowered to welcome the team into the city.
Song Kai was in a daze, not realizing the danger of the three thousand teams coming in, of course, even if he was not confused, this housekeeper would not be aware of the danger.
The 3,000 team was placed in the easternmost barracks of the town, and the 3,000 team was not very nervous to enter the tent of the 2,000 team, after all, it was winter, and it was warm together.
After the arrangements were made, Song Kai said to Shi Jintian: "Brother Shi, now you should rest assured, go and follow me back to drink." ”
"How much does it mean to drink in Zhaimen, why don't you go to your house to drink at the bar, and bring my good brother Yanshun with you." Song Kai's home is in the compound outside Song Yuan, and once he enters, it is convenient to move, so Shi Jintian proposed to go in.
"Okay, but it's too late, it's better to keep it quiet and don't make a noise." If it were normal, Song Kai would never take someone home so late, and he was a little confused after drinking too much today, so he didn't have the most basic vigilance.
Yan Shun followed Song Kai, Shi Jintian went to Song Mansion, and a hundred soldiers followed quietly, in this cold night, there was no patrol on the road at all, so that no one noticed the haunting of such a team.
The Song Mansion covers an area of more than 100 acres, and it is the largest house in the entire Honghe Town, and the main entrance of the house is guarded by Zhuang Ding at the back, but on this cold night, the Zhuang Ding in the back saw that the second housekeeper accompanied the two people in, and he opened the door without much care.
After entering Song Kai's room, Shi Jintian didn't plan to drink, he gave Yan Shun a look, and the two quickly controlled Song Kai.
"Brother Shi, what do you mean by this?" When the knife was on his neck, Song Kai woke up, but this guy didn't say anything, after all, he was only in his early thirties, and he didn't want to joke with his life.
"It's not interesting, the general means that there is no military salary, and he wants to borrow military salary."
"Borrow money, find our master, what do you mean by arresting me."
"Because it is to ask for the property of the entire Honghe Town as a military salary, we used to be friends, and I don't want to embarrass you, if you cooperate today, we will still be brothers in the future, and you will get a lot of money, if you don't want to be my friend, then you can only be sorry."
At this time, Song Kai was a little confused, and he said hesitantly: "However, our lord and the Holy Father are relatives, that is, relatives of the emperor and the country, if you copy his family, will the Holy Episcopal Council agree?" ”
Yan Shun felt that Shi Jintian was too wordy, and he said viciously: "Fang La is just a traitor, his in-laws are going to exterminate the Nine Clans, serve the imperial court, give you an official and a half position, if you are disobedient, you will be cut off your head." ”
"I'm willing to serve the court, what can I do for you?" No one wants to rebel, no one wants to be a rebel, there is a chance to serve the imperial court, Song Kai made a choice as soon as possible.
"First, strictly guard the city gate tonight, and no one is allowed to go out, second, our people have already arrived outside the back door of the Song Mansion, you have to find a way to open the door to let them in, and third, where is the money of your Song master's family, you should know."
Now is the time to surrender his name, Song Kai nodded desperately.
Under Song Kai's arrangement, a hundred dragon troops mixed in, and Yan Shun's request was that all the men be killed, and the women and children would be imprisoned first.
Song Kai is also ruthless, this guy directly sent someone to lock the latch of the gate, and the key was handed over to Long Xiangjun, for this guy, this night is destined to be a night of killing, but it has nothing to do with himself.
On the second watch day, as a fire broke out in the Song Mansion, the entire Honghe Town became a hell on earth, and the killing began.
Bao Xu took a hundred dragon soldiers and quietly mixed outside the camp tent where the weapons were stored, and the six dragon soldiers quietly touched over and directly wiped off the necks of the guards' lost soldiers, the means were clean and neat, and these six unlucky ghosts died without making a sound.
When he saw the skyrocketing fire, Bao Xu ordered the camp tent to be burned and all the weapons inside were burned.
The rebels were awakened in their sleep by the light of the fire and the noise outside, and hurriedly dressed and ran out, but they were unarmed and doomed to be slaughtered.
Only when killing, can it show how powerful the Long Xiang Army is, this group of guys is like a killing machine, not only slaughtering unarmed rebels, but also constantly secretly killing Shi Jintian's men, but the actions are hidden and not easy to be discovered.
Robbing, Shi Jintian's subordinates are like a group of hungry wolves, constantly snatching things, and many people are killing each other in the robbery.
