Chapter 57: Bereavement

Hu Erscar, who had been in trouble for many years, died.

Yan Kui led 200 militia to raid Hu Erscar's lair, encircled and suppressed his department, Hu Erscar was killed by Yan Kui on the spot, and a group of minions were killed or captured, and the second largest bandit in Qingyuan has since become history.

But Hu Erscar is not the only Chongshan bandit leader who has ended up like this today.

Almost at the same time as he ambushed him, Gong Fa led a hundred militiamen to break through the bandit den of the resisting officers and soldiers in the Pheasant Slope, which was far away in the 20 miles.

The leader of the bandits, Chen Shiji, was hacked to death with a knife, and more than 20 of his minions also made the officers and soldiers almost slaughtered, leaving only three alive, still seriously injured but not dead, and the losses of the officers and soldiers were only three seriously injured and five lightly wounded.

Soon after Yan Kui and Gong Fa finished cleaning up the mess, counted the captures, and pressed the prisoners back to the militia camp, Chen Xingxiao, another group of people, also returned victoriously.

This time, Yan Kui ordered him to lead a hundred militiamen to suppress two small bandit dens, Chen Xingxiao successfully completed the task, one of the two bandit leaders was killed by him with an arrow when he fled, and the other surrendered as a prisoner, and was taken back to the camp together with the minions who surrendered.

In the battle, the militia soldiers were divided into three routes, and a total of four bandit nests were destroyed, and the bandit leader Hu Erscar, Chen Shiji and other three people were killed, and more than 50 of their minions were exterminated, and another bandit leader was captured, dozens of minions, and the results were brilliant.

…………

That night, Hua Wenzheng, who had been guarding the county government, received the good news and almost didn't smile and crooked his mouth, and asked people to go to Fucheng overnight to report the victory, and then quickly called the county government clerks and asked them to compile an announcement and inform the whole county of the good news the next day.

So, under the unsparing promotion of the Huada County Order, the people of Qingyuan soon learned the news that the militia had made new contributions, and before they could digest the good news, Yan Kui frequently reported good news.

On the seventh day of the ninth month, on the night, Yan Kui led 200 militiamen to raid the bandit Zhang Mazi and his gang.

On the eighth day of the first month of September, Chen Xingxiao of the militia led a hundred militiamen to storm Xiaopugang, and the bandit leader Pang Yinlong led people to escape from the back mountain, and was taken down on the spot by Gong Fa, who had long been ambushed here.

On the eighth day of September, on the night, Yan Kui suddenly led his troops to surround Yangshu Village, and all the bandits and gangs hiding here were captured, and at the same time, he also captured the head of Yangshu Village and several villagers who were suspected of being bandits.

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the Double Ninth Festival, the militia soldiers divided into two routes, smashed two bandit dens in a row, and returned with a great victory.

On the tenth day of the first month of September, Ma Zhi and his gang entrenched in the Chongshan Pass of Qingyuan were killed, and the brothers of the Ma family, the leader of the bandits, were both sent to the west by Yan Kui with maces............

In the end, the people of Qingyuan were numb to hearing the good news of the militia group, and they only knew that Yan Kui had won the battle again and killed how many bandits.

………

The militia battalion

He Chun was reporting the information from the scouts with Yan Kui, and Gong Fa, Chen Xingxiao, Xu Yu, and Liu Mao were all on the left and right.

After He Chun finished speaking, Yan Kui turned his head to look at Xu Yu on the side: "So, the bandits on the periphery have all run away." ”

"That's right."

Xu Yu nodded, stood up and replied: "According to Captain He's information, our militia has repeatedly attacked in the past few days, and the brilliant results have also made the Chongshan bandits panic and uneasy.

Most of the bandits on the periphery of Chongshan in Qingyuan have been pulled out by us before, and the rest of us have not had time to do it, and they have also fled into Chongshan this time, and they are nowhere to be found, and it is estimated that it is very likely to talk about going to Heifeng Ridge.

Now, 20 miles outside the Chongshan Mountains in Qingyuan, all the bandit nests have been cleared, and if the militia wants to suppress it again, I am afraid that they will have to enter the mountains. ”

Yan Kui waved his hand and said, "Now is not the time, the inner perimeter of Chongshan has always been steep, and there is a great enemy of Black Wind Ridge, and at present, our own strength alone is still insufficient.

It just so happens that the momentum of the militia has also been raised in the past few days, so let's take it when we see it, suspend the offensive, and wait for the bandit army to come. ”

After Yan Kui finished speaking, everyone naturally had no reason, and nodded in agreement, and then Xu Yu began to report the results of this bandit.

"In this mobilization, a total of nine bandits were destroyed before and after, 214 captured bandits were exterminated, and countless weapons and food were seized, and according to preliminary calculations, these seizures were worth no less than 5,000 taels."

…………

"So much?"

Gong Fa screamed in surprise, but Chen Xingxiao next to him obviously expected it, and said lightly: "These people are all old bandits, and they have not fallen into the grass for more than three years, and they have done so many years of evil, what is the big deal if they save five thousand taels."

Even in my opinion, this five thousand taels is by no means the final amount, He Chun, while the Fucheng side has not yet received prisoners, if you take someone to ask carefully, it is estimated that you can squeeze out some oil and water. ”

He Chun nodded: "Don't worry, I have asked the brothers to take good care of them, and before Fucheng picks them up, there will definitely be gains." ”

Yan Kui heard Chen Xingxiao and the two speak, with a slight smile on his face, after these months of training, the eight hair that followed him at the beginning have grown more and more rapidly, like Chen Xingxiao and He Chun, who performed well, and even gradually had a tendency to stand alone.

After all, it is a small hair that has grown from childhood to adulthood, whether it is in terms of inner feelings or loyalty, Yan Kui is very happy for Chen Xingxiao and a few people to grow up, and he doesn't want to gain power in the future, but the former fat friends are still standing still.

can be a person who can ascend to heaven, who doesn't want to be alone.........

…………

Yan Kui opened his mouth and knocked He Chun, asking him not to make too much trouble, and there was an opinion on the side of the provincial capital, and then looked at Xu Yu and asked about the casualties of the militia.

Talking about his own losses, the smile on Xu Yu's face instantly faded a lot: "In this battle, only four of our militiamen were killed in battle, and seven were seriously injured, four of them were disabled, and forty-one people were slightly injured. ”

If the previous capture results made everyone in the room smile, now Xu Yu's mention of casualties made the originally happy atmosphere slightly suppressed, and the room was silent.

Except for Liu Mao, all of whom are new recruits to the army, they have not yet developed the mentality of turning a blind eye to casualties and treating them indifferently, and they know that their subordinates and colleagues who get along with each other day and night will be separated from themselves forever, and no one can be like a nobody.

After a long time, it was Yan Kui who broke the peace: "Brothers, I have a fight with Yan Kui, and it is my responsibility to lose my life first." ”

Yan Kui blamed himself like this, everyone comforted him, and Qin Wu, who was straight, said directly: "How can there be immortals in a war, to put it mildly, the brothers have been thinking of this day for a long time."

In the future, if we survive and fight for wealth, we are blessed, but if we break in the middle, our life is shallow, and it has nothing to do with you, second brother. ”

Xu Yu also persuaded: "Life and death on the battlefield are fateful, the sword has no eyes, and the death of your brothers to suppress the bandits can be regarded as a credit to Qingyuan, and the adults must not blame themselves." ”

Everyone persuaded for a while, Yan Kui also felt a lot better, he lowered his head and thought about it: "Although it is life and death, but a few brothers have gone, I can't leave the family behind, Zijun, you ordered the four brothers who died, the militia will give fifty taels of pensions, and forty taels of the disabled, if there are any difficulties at home in the future, even if I come to the militia group, as long as I Yan Kui can do it, I will never shirk." ”

Xu Yu's face was serious, and he bowed to Yan Kuichang: "Yu thank you for your brothers." ”

This worship of Xu Yu is sincere, the pension of ordinary soldiers of the regular army of the Northern Jin Dynasty is only twenty taels of silver, and the disability is issued around ten to fifteen taels depending on the situation, of course, the casualty pension of those with merit will definitely be increased as appropriate, but it will not be like Yan Kui to issue fifty taels at once.

Even if Yan Kui may have the utilitarian heart to win over the hearts of the military, Xu Yu will sincerely worship Yan Kui, worship his good deeds, and worship his benevolence.
