Chapter Seventy-Nine: Fighting Violence
That Linhai was only more than 100 miles away from Ninghai, and after gathering a group of men and horses, leaving some civil officials and sergeants to defend the city, Fang Zhongyong led this group of rabble to set off.
The reason why it is said to be a rabble is because these things have loose military discipline and incomprehensible orders. There were those who ran away without permission, there were those who stole with their hands, and there were those who went home to drink. There was even that veteran ruffian who felt that Fang Zhongyong was just a civilian official, and he didn't take Fang Zhongyong's orders seriously.
Someone even shouted: "It's just a little late for a while, can he still kill us?" β
Fang Zhongyong was "helpless", whipped a few people, and killed one person, and the military discipline improved slightly. Fortunately, the archery skills of those archers had never been left behind, otherwise, Fang Zhongyong might as well only lead his own courtyard into battle. That's it, just a little more than 100 miles, and it took two days.
Finally arrived outside Ninghai County, and Da Xiong, who arrived a day earlier, reported back after finding out the enemy's situation: "The bandit leader Li Menglong is known as the king of Tianyi. At first, there were only a dozen people, and they plundered some merchant ships along the coast to make a living. After killing Lord Zhizhou by mistake, he listened to the encouragement of his subordinates called Ma Er, so he killed Zhixian and seized the county seat of Ninghai. β
Fang Zhongyong was a little strange, when did this big bear become so efficient?
Da Xiong said with some embarrassment: "Thanks to the young master's reminder, the little one waited for the opportunity to touch the county government and caught a guy who had followed Li Menglong for many years." After some interrogation, I was able to find out the bottom of the thief. I thought I would take the opportunity to end up with that Li Menglong. I don't want that guy to wander around the city, and he has attracted a lot of street greenskins, and the nearby rogues have also had a lot of results. There was a great earthquake, and there were about 1,000 people. The little one didn't look for an opportunity, so he had to return in vain. Please punish your lords! β
Fang Zhongyong said with a smile: "You have already successfully completed the military order, how can you still be punished?" As for Li Menglong's head, don't worry, this official naturally wants to take a look at it in the dignified military formation.
By the way, who came up with this good idea? β
A strong man about thirty years old came out and saluted: "Little Jiaozan, I've seen adults." β
Fang Zhongyong said: "Why do you call me an adult, not a young master?" β
Na Jiaozan replied: "The small one is the nursing home hired by the Yan Mansion, and there is only a contract, not a deed. When the contract is full, you can leave on your own. It is to call an adult an adult. β
It's a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it's not hard to understand. It's nothing more than a hired bodyguard, not a slave of your family. Just protect the life of the employer, sell your life? Please be smart!
But this Jiao Zan is Yang Yanzhao's subordinate in "Yang Family General", how did he get here? Crossed? This is actually Fang Zhongyong's history. "History of the Yuan" volume 153 "Jiao Deyu Biography" contains: Jiao Deyu's word Kuan's father, his distant ancestor praise, from the Song Dynasty Prime Minister Fubi Town Waqiaoguan, then a native of Xiongzhou. In other words, this Jiao Zan is actually Fang Zhongyong's brother-in-law Fu Bi, who became the prime minister's outstanding general. It makes sense to work here for a while while with Fang Zhongyong first.
Fang Zhongyong couldn't resist the gossip of asking where Meng Liang went, and called Da Xiong, Gongsun Ce, and Jiao Zan together to discuss ways to break the enemy.
Gongsun Ce was eager to avenge his father, and said directly: "Set up a formation, attack the city directly, and immediately take the life of the thief and dog!" β
The idea is very good, as long as Li Menglong is a wooden man and just stands there and does not move. It seems that Mr. Gongsun, who is deeply scheming, will need a long time to accumulate experience points before he can appear!
Jiao Zan's method is much more reliable: "The little one sees that although the city gate is guarded, what rules does the rabble have. As long as you seize the city gate first, and then attack the county government, you don't have to worry about the thieves escaping and finding it! β
The method is good, but with a rabble against a rabble, the outcome is unpredictable!
Da Xiong was the most eye-catching, and when he saw that his young master had rejected the suggestions of the two one after another, he said very flatteringly: "The young master must have a good plan, and his subordinates are stupid, so please make it clear to the young master." β
Several people then formed a small circle and planned. From time to time, the sounds of "ah", "oh", and "uh" came out, causing the civil officials next to them to wonder.
In the early morning of the next day, wearing chain mail, wearing a bright silver helmet, holding a spear, riding a white horse, the big bear who was more cloth than Lu Bu and more cloud than Zhao Yun said to the rebel guarding the city gate: "Wu Na thief, go and report to your king quickly." Let's just say that my family has sentenced the lord to lead thousands of troops and horses to conquer him, and let him quickly put down his weapons and surrender, or he may be spared death. If you say half a word, the army of heaven will descend and become a powder! Don't be unpredictable! β
The traitor hurriedly went to report to Li Menglong: "The king is not good! β
Li Menglong raised his foot and kicked the minion on the head: "You fuck, it's not good!" If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go! Don't delay me, uh no, I discuss national affairs with the national teacher. β
The minion explained, Ma Eryi said a breakthrough: "There must be something strange in it!" β
Li Menglong said impatiently: "Knowing that you know a few words, don't drop your bookbag." If there is any problem, hurry up! β
Ma Er shook the feather fan in his hand, and strategically said: "Zhizhou is dead, and the general sentence is the biggest official in Taizhou, but there are only three or five hundred soldiers in the entire Taizhou Mansion, where did the thousands of troops come from." It must have been the general judgment that exaggerated, pretended to be a momentum, and wanted to scare our brother away, so he recovered Ninghai County without much effort and made a great contribution.
The king, you can't fall for his tricks! β
Li Menglong laughed: "It turned out to be a papier-mΓ’chΓ© tiger!" Ladies and gentlemen, bring me my freshly made knives, and wait for me to cut off the head of the condemned dog, and then drink bitterly with the brothers! β
For a time, Li Menglong brought a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and there were 500 people, pouring out of the city. Na Ma Er also knew some military affairs, and led another 500 men to guard the city, so as not to be taken away.
Li Menglong came out of the west gate (Ninghai is in the east, and Taizhou is in the west), only to see that the military village on the opposite side is waving flags, and the guards are also shooting a few arrows in a similar manner. It's just that the distance is still far away, and it has landed before it gets close.
Li Menglong laughed when he saw this, and shouted wildly: "Brothers, rush with me!" Cut off the head of the dog officer and robbed him of his gold and silver! β
The group of rebels also became more and more arrogant, and some of the heroic ones even tore off their shirts to show off their muscles. Almost without hindrance, they "stormed" the official and military camps.
Fang Zhongyong, who was watching from a distance, saw that the thieves had entered the camp, and gave an order: "Set fire!" The archers prepare and shoot those who flee. β
In an instant, the camp tents of the officers and soldiers became a sea of fire. The thieves were burned to the ground and fled in all directions. The archers just stood on the high ground and shot with their arrows in a relaxed and happy way.
Those who occasionally escaped were also slashed and killed one by one by the officers and soldiers who caught up. Even those who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, pretending to be good citizens, were also beheaded by a gangster. Some of those who pretended to be clever and pretended to be dead were also cut off and became truly dead.
Some officials said, why did the originally weak officers and soldiers become so brave?
Without him, money and power are also.
It turned out that Fang Zhongyong saw that the officers and soldiers had no intention of fighting, so he promised to behead Fan by the first level and give money consistently; Another person who beheads the fifth level is the squad leader; Those who behead the tenth level are the squadron leader; Behead the hundred-level one, get out, I don't want to brag here.
The so-called heavy reward must have brave men, and that group of rebels was slaughtered by the officers and soldiers who had transformed from sheep into hungry wolves.
I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky. That Li Menglong was hit by several arrows in his body, bleeding nonstop, and still fighting fiercely. There was a soldier who was greedy for merit who wanted to kill him, but he was also cut in two with a simple knife, and he was extremely fierce.
The magistrate in charge of the prison said: "It's a pity that such a fierce man is a thief!" Wouldn't it be nice to leave him alive and dedicate it to the official family, and also learn from the Taimiao to sacrifice prisoners! β
Fang Zhongyong sneered: "Is Lord Tuiguan related to this thief? Why do you want to turn around for this thief? β
Then he said sharply: "You can know that there is an adult purgatory in this Ninghai City. The wealthy officials and businessmen either surrendered or bribed, but they could not cause much damage to their families. But the ordinary and good people have been poisoned! After the city is built, the official will also lead all the adults to take a look at the sins created by this 'Heavenly King'. And when the time comes, if there is anyone who speaks for a thief, he will be guilty of the same sin as a traitor.
I don't care what you have to do with Naninghai City, anyone who obstructs my official to quell the rebellion will be punished as treason. You also know where I come from, and you must know that I still have some face in the official family and the princes of the political hall. It's either me bragging, or today I killed an official on the spot, and it was just a transfer or a fine. Don't make a mistake! β
Everyone said in their hearts: This lord's ability to buckle his hat is not small! I just hope that in my own shops in the city, there will not be any unsightly goods that are really thieves, and they will not be able to wash them by jumping into the Yellow River. This Lord Fang looks polite, but his hands are black!
Li Menglong, who was in the field, felt that his attention had dropped, and shouted: "Wu that little boy who only knows how to set fire and use cold arrows, what other means can he use!" Grandpa Danfan frowned, and he took your surname! β
Fang Zhongyong smiled: "You bastard! Before you know it, you will be tortured and killed today by this official to appease the resentment of the people who have been brutalized by you! Where? β
Da Xiong replied: "The subordinates are here!" Please command! β
"Are you sure you can kill this fang in ten rounds?"
The big bear said loudly: "The last general will take his dog's life within the three!" β
Fang Zhongyong said: "Leave him a breath and break his muscles and bones!" β
Da Xiong responded and took out his own blade, but it was a cooked copper stick, which matched the Pu knife made by Li Menglong.
The big bear shouted, and with a "force overwhelming Qianjun", he slammed into Li Menglong. Li Menglong blocked it with a simple knife, the bones of his hand were shattered, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Seeing that the thief chieftain's hands were wasted, Da Xiong slashed the cooked copper stick horizontally, and "swept away thousands of troops", breaking Li Menglong's legs together.
Li Menglong was no longer able to support it, and fell to the ground suddenly, and when the blood in his mouth gushed out, he still shouted to himself: "It's a good time!" Grandpa has tasted all the women of the eunuch family in the past few days, and he has been the emperor for a few days, and it is worth it to die! β
The big bear was vicious to the side of the gall, raised the cooked copper stick and was about to smash it into Li Menglong's crotch, fearing that his blade would be dirty, sneered, stepped on it with a heavy foot, and turned his ankle.
An indiscretable cracking sound came, and everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their waists and abdomen.
Fang Zhongyong was very satisfied with Da Xiong's approach, and after a few words of praise, he said: "Jiao Zan has very difficult to attack the city, I will go to meet him as soon as possible."
**, curled up Li Menglong's hair, tied it to a ponytail, and dragged him into the city! β
