Chapter 562 There is a big official here

Shocked, Meng Tietou's heart sank suddenly.

Now it's troublesome - in this case, except for being soft and selling miserably, it is useless to talk to these gangs of thugs.

At that moment, he begged with a smile on his face: "How many ...... Several vice masters, the little ones escaped from the city, all the way embarrassed, the silver was lost, and the vice master was asked to raise his noble hand......"

"You sour! Less pretend Joe! ”

Before the words fell, a strong man pulled up his collar and said with a cruel smile, "Look at your appearance with fine skin and white flesh, and with servants, you must be a big family!" It's better to honestly take out the silver yourself, everyone is decent, otherwise Hugh blames the knife and doesn't recognize people. ”

As soon as he said that, Leng Buding wiped it down with a knife on the neck of the little guy Meng Wen.

Meng Tietou only felt a fishy heat spray on his face, and saw that Meng Wen had already fallen to the ground, his legs and feet were still twitching rhythmically one after another, and the dark red blood was pooled into a pool.

He was suddenly gone!

This Qiu Ba committed murder on the spot, and it was simply a kingless law to the extreme!

But now that he is not in the city, he is no longer a dignified general, and he is penniless, if he annoys these Qiu Ba, I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed.

He had to plead in a trembling voice: "How many ...... Several...... Don't be rude, the small ones really don't have any money......"

Speaking of this, he almost cried, and the remorse in his heart could not be increased.

If the dozen or so pro-soldiers around him were still there, why would they have fallen to such a state!

Alas! I knew that the east gate was in chaos like this, and the soldiers guarding it were far away, so why did I need to make another move to disperse the soldiers and escape alone?

He deeply regretted that he had volunteered at the beginning, and he really failed Meng Lang - the last time he had disarmed the ordnance, he should have listened to the advice of an old friend and simply stayed in Luzhou.

For a time, the pride of dying generously disappeared, leaving only the old mother, wife and concubine, and children at home...... Swirling in my head like a marquee......

"Dada, Dada......"

Just when Meng Tie's head was in despair, there was a sudden crisp sound like a firecracker.

As soon as the gunshot rang out, the strength at the collar was loosened, and Meng Tietou subconsciously rolled over.

This voice was very familiar to him—it was not a three-eyed gun, let alone a bird's gun, but a thief's swift gun!

"Listen to the people below,"

On a hill next to it, a man's voice sounded, "The Ming army is here, you have been surrounded, put down your weapons, and hold your head in your hands......"

"Grandma's!"

The strong man who grabbed Meng Tie's head before was slightly stunned, then waved the Yanling knife in his hand and shouted viciously, "Follow Lao Tzu!" Rush out! ”

"Whew-poof!"

With a muffled sound, a bloody hole suddenly exploded in the evil man's chest, and he fell on his back in slow motion, smashing next to Meng Wen's corpse.

At this moment, everyone within a radius of several hundred meters froze.

"Any resistance is futile,"

The voice rang out again, "Throw your weapon on the ground and crouch down with your head in your hands!" The redress of the captives is good, and the prisoners are treated preferentially......"

"Bang dang!"

A knife was thrown to the ground, followed by the sound of a weapon falling to the ground with a "crackle".

The resistance completely collapsed, and no one dared to try the power of the thief sharpshooter again, and the soldiers led hundreds of people to squat in a large area.

Meng Tietou secretly looked up, only to see a dozen or so short-clothed soldiers rushing down from the hillside, each holding the kind of fast gun he had seen in their hands......

"It's ...... Captured? ”

Meng Tietou was a little confused.

The next process is "familiar recipe, familiar taste".

First of all, the dozen or so soldiers were scattered on both sides of the dirt road, each of them half-squatting, with the fast guns in their hands flat, Meng Tietou knew that this was a vigilance.

Immediately afterwards, two people stood on the mound, commanding another thirty or forty soldiers with waist knives, and slowly formed an encirclement.

It is estimated that there were five or six hundred people who were captured together with Meng Tietou, and the thieves were in a team of seven or eight people, some of them were holding quick robberies, some were holding long knives in one hand and torches in the other, and one team after another separated the people all over the ground into several small circles.

Don't look at the large number of refugees, let alone resist under the deterrence of these dozens of thieves, and they didn't even cough.

A man came down from the mound and shouted loudly in official dialect with a thick southern accent:

"The women and children stood up, and all the men continued to squat! There are reckless movers, don't blame the guns for not having long eyes! ”

After shouting a few times, the crowd that had been squatting on the ground began to move, first a few, and then most of the women stood up.

The thief didn't care whether the man or woman gave or received kisses, and dragged some women who were still lying on the ground to get up, and there were a few men from large families who wanted to protect the women, but they were pointed at by a long knife, so they quickly squatted down again.

All the women and children who were no taller than their waists were brought together and driven to the side of the road, and some timid women sobbed in fright, and the men who were squatting on the ground were in a commotion......

"Don't be afraid, women and children, we will not oppress the good,"

The officer-looking officer shouted again, "The rest of the men listened, and the common people stood up, and the Tartar soldiers continued to crouch!" ”

This time, a large group of hula immediately stood up.

Meng Tietou thought about it, he looked weak, and he was not wearing a uniform, let alone a weapon, so he also stood up.

This time, the thief soldiers were obviously much more cautious, and shouted with quick guns outside the pile: "Come out one by one!" ”

When the men walked over, they were tied to their right arms by strings of ten, and one by one they were pulled to the other side of the road.

Some big families looked like they obviously wanted to get close, and they found out the silver and the name post, and said diligently: "Boss, boss, my family has business dealings with you in Jiangnan, and the chief knows my family's name......

The soldiers were all serious, and did not talk to each other, nor did they collect money, but drove them away, but did not take any goods and luggage, and told each of them to take them with him.

There were only a hundred or so squatting left, some bare-chested and clothed, and some wearing cotton armor, and the swords, guns, and birds that they had dropped were thrown to the ground.

Meng Tietou took a rough look at their robes with torches, there were four or five kinds of subordinates, and it seemed that there were all kinds of ways to come, and they all did not intend to continue to risk staying in the city to "make a fortune".

The Ming army did not subdivide them, and strung them all together, held them alone in one place, begging for mercy one after another.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, and ask the army to kill the prisoners...... Women and children go home at dawn...... In addition to the soldiers, other ordinary people will also be released when our review is over. ”

As soon as the words fell, suddenly, there was a burst of gunshots like fried beans from the direction of Yangzhou City, and the crowd couldn't help but be stunned.

"Don't be afraid, everyone,"

The officer's expression was relaxed, "The siege has begun, and early tomorrow morning, Yangzhou City will return to the arms of my Daming, and everyone will be able to go home soon...... As for tonight, I can only ask everyone to be wronged, and go to the forest over there to rest first. ”

The people who were tied up all turned their heads and ears, but no one dared to say anything, and it was good luck to be able to save their lives, and where else did they dare to hope......

"It's good to stand in the ranks of the common people,"

Meng Tietou thought to himself, "I don't know where these soldiers will be dragged to do coolies." ”

He was tied behind the back of a porter, and the greasy back of the porter pressed against his chest, which made him feel so tired that he had to stop turning his head and close his eyes and endure it......

"Master Jun! Report to the military master! ”

Suddenly, a few soldiers suddenly shouted, "There's a big official here!" ”
