Chapter 54: The Massacre

Ma Cheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard Luo Bingran say this, it seems that this Luo Fat Man still takes care of himself, knowing that his subordinates are all recruits, so he lets others take the lead.

Ma Cheng went back and told the news to several grassroots officers under his command, Xu Dahu and the others were all veterans of the military formation, and they were very happy to hear that they had military exploits. Ma Cheng's dog-legged Gu Changwei is not a good person, he was also a ruthless person in Guizhou back then, and this time he followed Ma Cheng out and put on Gu Xiying's cotton armor. As for Gu Xiying not coming out this time, the reason is very simple, the army is all singles, and if a woman appears, don't blow up the nest!

Ma Shiying's 1,500 pacesetters were all veterans, and they were all excited to learn that the commander had asked them to exterminate a group of rogues. The Ming Dynasty followed the Qin Dynasty, and still used human heads to record military merits, so everyone was ready to cut off a few more heads for silver.

Ma Cheng watched hundreds of cavalry roaring past him, the vibration of the horse's hooves made Ma Cheng yearn for it, he didn't expect hundreds of cavalry to have this kind of momentum, thinking that he would have to face the charge of hundreds of thousands of cavalry in the Manchu Qing and Mongolia in the future, Ma Cheng really didn't dare to think about it anymore, and he didn't know if the hundred peasants under his command could stop it.

At this time, the entire governor Zhenbiao had received an order from Zhang Guozhu of the Chinese army, and all of them broke away from the brigade and marched to the southeast.

Ma Cheng and Luo Bingran are in the middle battalion, so they are naturally in the middle of the whole army. Ma Cheng looked at the hundreds of cavalry roaring away and asked, "Lord Luo, the last general heard that there are 30,000 cavalry in Gao Jie's department, I don't know if there are any elite cavalry in the town mark?" ”

Luo Bingran glanced at the hundreds of cavalry and said disapprerovitically: "Second young master, our cavalry are all good-looking, looking at the horses and weapons, but don't really say one-on-one to Gao Jie's cavalry, even our three-on-one is not the opponent of Gao Jie's subordinates!" ”

"Our cavalry is already elite, so is Gao Jie's cavalry even better equipped than ours?" Ma Cheng still thought that his Lao Tzu's town mark was elite, but hearing Luo Bingran say this, it was not the case at all, could it be that Gao Jie's cavalry was armed to the teeth?

Luo Bingran shook his head and said: "Second Young Master, Gao Jie's cavalry equipment is naturally not as good as our town mark, but it is people who fight, that Gao Harrier has fought for more than ten years, and most of the 30,000 cavalry under him are border troops in the northwest, they have been fighting with the Mongols all year round, and their combat effectiveness is naturally stronger than ours in the mainland!" ”

After Luo Bingran finished speaking, he looked around, and then said in a low voice: "Second Young Master, the other soldiers in the town mark are almost the same, only our three hundred soldiers under Xu Qianhu are the main force, they are not half as bad as Gao Jie's cavalry!" ”

The three hundred Guizhou soldiers are the soldiers sent by Gu Congxin, the commander of Guizhou Wei, and Ma Cheng, who is Gu Congxin's nephew, naturally knows Menqing, and there are eleven Guizhou soldiers under him.

Ma Cheng heard Luo Bingran say this, turned his head and looked at his more than 100 peasant soldiers, Xu Dahu and other eleven officers walked on the side of the team, but he didn't expect these dozen guys to be so strong in combat.

Luo Bingran saw Ma Chengdong looking around and thought that he had just entered the battlefield nervously, so he smiled and said: "Second Young Master, don't worry, it's just a group of villagers who are going to exterminate today, and the Second Young Master can stay by the side of the last general for a while, Xu Qianhu and they will naturally bring the credit of the Second Young Master!" ”

Ma Cheng was surprised to hear Luo Bingran say this, and hurriedly asked, "Didn't Master Zhang say that there are rogues?" How are the villagers? ”

"Hehe, our more than 20,000 troops are advancing by land and water, so what kind of rogue dares to appear within the range of the army? Mr. Zhang said that he was a rogue, but in fact, it was just some villagers who asked our brother in the town to get some change to spend! ”

"Villagers? Aren't those the people of the Ming Dynasty? We are the army of the Ming Dynasty, why do we want to slaughter the people of the Ming Dynasty? Ma Cheng was taken aback when he heard Luo Bingran say this, he had seen the record of "thieves are like combs, soldiers are like grates" in the history books of later generations, but Ma Cheng thought that it was just an isolated phenomenon. But I didn't expect that my own dignified governor Zhenbiao would also play this kind of trick to kill the good and take the lead.

Luo Bingran was very disappreciative when he heard Ma Cheng say this, if Ma Cheng was just a low-level thousand-level thousand households, Luo Bingran would definitely slap it over, but Ma Cheng's identity was different, Luo Bingran naturally didn't dare to really fight, so he could only explain: "Second young master, even the pacesetter of our town mark only has eight or nine taels of silver every year, and less than half of it is left in his hand, if he doesn't do some extra money, how can the brothers survive?" ”

Ma Cheng's eyes glared and scolded: "Seven buckles and eight buckles? Didn't you guys do it? ”

Luo Bingran didn't dare to reply when he heard Ma Cheng scolding himself, and secretly scolded in his heart that this nerd is really difficult to serve, Lao Tzu doesn't drink the blood of the soldiers, and the silver bribes your father and son two vampires?

Just as Ma Cheng and Luo Bingran were talking, the village could already be seen in front of them. There are hundreds of houses in this village, and it looks like a big town.

The villagers of that town had seen the Ming army coming, and many had begun to flee from the village, but now the crops had not been sown, and the place was located on the plain, and the surroundings were unobstructed, and they could run over four-legged horses on two legs.

Soon the hundreds of cavalry of the town standard rushed into the town, and a shout of killing and screams was heard in the distance, and the massacre officially began.

With the arrival of the town standard infantry, the slaughter became more and more tragic, Ma Cheng rode on the horse and followed Luo Bingran, and saw many innocent villagers die tragically under the butcher's knife of the Ming army.

Ma Cheng saw a peasant woman outside the town holding a package, and a cavalry behind her was chasing, and after the cavalry caught up, the head of the peasant woman flew up, and the package in her hand also fell.

There was a cry when the package landed, and it was clear that it was a child in the package, and the horseman looked down and urged the horse to step over the package, and the child's crying stopped abruptly.

Ma Cheng urged him to step forward and wanted to save the child, but when he came to him, he saw that the child had been trampled by the horse, and he was already dead and couldn't die.

Ma Cheng saw the cavalry dismount and rummage over the corpse of the peasant woman, probably to see if there was any money. Seeing that this guy was inhumane, Ma Cheng scolded angrily: "You are the cavalry of that battalion? ”

The cavalryman saw Ma Cheng Qianhu's uniform, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Lord Qianhu, his subordinates are under the Zhongying Zhang Qianhu standard!" ”

It turned out that he was a soldier in the middle battalion like himself, and seeing that this guy was defenseless, Ma Cheng took out his waist knife and cut off the guy's head. Ma Cheng's knife is a thousand refining treasure knife given to him by Zhang Guozhu in order to pat his ass, although the cavalry is wearing a full body of chain mail, but it can't resist Ma Cheng's treasure knife, this knife slashed that guy from the shoulder to the abdominal cavity, came to a big disembowelment, the heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys flowed all over the ground, and he couldn't live.

Ma Cheng killed for the first time, and when he saw that guy scattering red, green, and green all over the ground, he couldn't control his nausea anymore, and he got off his horse and lay on the ground and vomited.

The dead cavalryman was not alone, and his comrades in the back saw that their companions were killed, and they urged them one by one to come up and surround Ma Cheng and were about to start.

Xu Dahu and others under Ma Cheng saw that their master was going to be unlucky, so they hurriedly grabbed their weapons and rushed up to protect Ma Cheng. Although Ma Cheng's subordinates were all recruits, they had more manpower than the cavalry on the opposite side, so the cavalry on the opposite side did not dare to make a move, and they were stalemate here for a while.

Zhang Qianhu, the commander of the cavalry, was commanding his subordinates to slaughter and loot at this time, and saw more than a dozen cavalry confronting the infantry on the edge of the town.

Zhang Qianhu rode up to him and asked, "Your mother, everyone has so many houses to rob separately, don't hurt your brother's harmony for a little money!" ”

A cavalryman saw his commander coming and hurriedly said, "Lord Zhang, this Lord Qianhu doesn't know why he killed Zhang San!" ”

The dead Zhang San was Zhang Qianhu's personal soldier, so Zhang Qianhu scolded when he heard about it: "Your mother, that bastard dares to kill my brother?" ”

When Zhang Qianhu got closer, he saw that the bastard was Ma Cheng, the second young master of the chief system.

Although Zhang Qianhu felt sorry for his own soldiers, he still knew what Ma Cheng had to do, so Zhang Qianhu had no choice but to ask: "Ma Qianhu, why did you kill my soldiers for no reason?" ”

Ma Cheng had already vomited out the things in his stomach at this time, and when he got up and saw Zhang Qianhu, Ma Cheng scolded: "your grandma Zhang Qianhu, that's how my father asked you to kill the people?" ”

Although Zhang Qianhu was very jealous of Ma Cheng's identity, he was angry when Ma Cheng scolded his grandmother for no reason: "Ma Qianhu, don't think that you are the son of the chief lord and be unscrupulous!" This is in the army, and we are all acting on military orders! ”

"Bong your mother's comparison!" Ma Cheng snatched the spear from Xu Dahu and was about to stab Zhang Qianhu, Zhang Qianhu was surrounded by cavalry, and when he saw that this guy was going to hurt his own commander, he aimed the three-eyed gun in his hand at this damn guy one by one.

At this time, Luo Bingran of the rear team ran over, shouting as he ran: "Stop!" Stop it all! ”

Luo Bingran came to Ma Cheng's side and scolded Zhang Qianhu: "Zhang Qianhu, you can't be crazy!" Hurt the son of the general master? ”

That Zhang Qianhu's identity is not simple, listening to Luo Bingran blame himself indiscriminately, Zhang Qianhu said angrily: "Lord Luo, this Ma Qianhu disrespects orders and kills colleagues in the army for no reason, shouldn't the last general care?" ”

Luo Bingran looked at the dead body on the ground that had been disemboweled by Ma Cheng, and had no choice but to say: "What should I do, this official will tell Zhang Zhongjun truthfully, now Zhang Qianhu, you take your cavalry to continue to do your work!" Luo Bingran looked at Ma Cheng and said, "Ma Qianhu, the order given to you by this official is to protect this official, and you will not return to the team!" ”

Luo Bingran originally wanted to turn a big thing into a small and a small matter, although killing a colleague in the army for no reason is a capital crime, but Ma Cheng's identity is different, so Luo Bingran wants to cover up this matter.

Zhang Qianhu heard Luo Bingran say this and knew that this was a good way, although Zhang San died innocently, but who called him die in the hands of Ma Cheng, there was no choice but to give more money afterwards.

Zhang Qianhu was about to leave with his fists clenched, but when he thought that Ma Cheng's side was over, Ma Cheng scolded: "Zhang Wangba, Luo Bingran, you led the Ming Dynasty but set troops to kill the people of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Tzu is going to the governor to sue you!" ”
