Chapter 56: Hu Er's Scar
In the thirteenth year of Liyang, the sixth day of the ninth month
Break and kill, it is advisable to mobilize troops
About ten miles west of Heifengling, near the junction of Chongshan and Qingyuan counties, there is a low lonely cliff, the nest of the second strongest bandit Hu Er Scar in Qingyuan is rooted here, so the people nearby call this place Hujiaya, or Scar Nest.
Hu Er Scar, no one remembers what his real name is, in his early years, he was an idle man in Qingyuan Township, he didn't do farm work every day, but picked quarrels and provoked trouble everywhere, fought and brawled, and provoked people with daughters around him to look down on him, nearly thirty years old, Hu Er Scar is still a single.
Once a man has been single for a long time, he naturally inevitably thinks about women, Hu Erscar is young, strong, energetic, and has a more enthusiastic demand for this aspect than ordinary people, but no woman is willing to marry him, so Hu Erscar can only put the fire in the kiln.
But this is only a palliative treatment, not a cure, Hu Erscar, an idler in the village, how much money can he have? These Fengyue places have always been known for selling gold caves, and he can live happily for a long time.
So, within a few days, he was squeezed clean by the girls, and the penniless Hu Erscar was picked out by the bustard.
This experience made Hu Erscar begin to understand the benefits of money, so he began to think about what crooked ways to make money.
Benefiting from many years of brawl career, Hu Erscar knew a group of green-skinned gangsters, he found a few trustworthy ones, and everyone hit it off and started a kidnapping and extortion business.
At first, because of the proper planning and the quick hands and feet, Hu Erscar and his group did a smooth ride, and they did several votes in a row, and several people made a lot of money, and Hu Erscar also had money to continue to live happily, and even bought a yellow flower girl from other places as a daughter-in-law, and lived a happy life.
But there is no impermeable wall in the world, Hu Erscar suddenly made a fortune in a few broken households, which naturally attracted the attention of people with a heart, someone reported to the government, and the yamen quietly sent someone to investigate, and soon, it was found out that Hu Erscar and several people were involved, and they were immediately arrested.
Hu Er's life was big, and when the government arrested people, he happened to go out to have fun and escaped, and later learned the news and didn't dare to go home again, so he ran to Chongshan at night and fell into the grass.
…………
To say that Hu Erscar is a person with little ability, but his courage is surprisingly high, he slowly became famous in Chongshan with his blood bravery, and gathered a group of minions to claim the king and hegemony here in Hujiaya.
However, his good days are now at an end.
At night, Yan Kui personally led 200 people and carefully touched the Hujia Cliff, under the leadership of the scouts, everyone bypassed most of the bandits' sentry posts, and before Hu Erscar and other bandits reacted, they directly surrounded the entire bandits' den, blocking the panicked bandits tightly.
Although he is known as the second strongest bandit in Qingyuan, the gap between Hu Erscar and the first-ranked Heifengling is not ordinarily large.
As one of the three major bandits in Chongshan, Heifengling was almost able to make up 1,500 minions at its peak, and now, although Heifengling was beaten twice by Yan Kui, his strength was not as good as before, but it was not hopeless to grit his teeth and squeeze out a thousand two.
In comparison, the second bandit in Qingyuan, who is less than sixty people including Hu Erscar, is too much.
Many Yan Kui didn't bother to think about a plan, and directly led troops to block the opponent's door.........
…………
There is still a woman's rouge scar on his face, looking at the officers and soldiers outside his small wooden village, the long scar on his face that was cut by a knife in a fight when he was young began to shake involuntarily, and he became bolder, showed his head on the wall, and shouted out.
"Which official is outside, I don't know what the little ones have done, and they have worked so many brothers to go up the mountain."
Yan Kui leaned on his mace, looked at the small wooden village in front of him, which was less than a foot high, and shouted and scolded.
"Don't talk nonsense, Lao Tzu is Yan Kui, those who know each other hurry up and surrender to the village, dare not obey, when the village is broken, it will be the moment of your death."
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.
Yan Kui's reputation as the number one hero in Qingyuan was already very loud before, and after the bonus of the great victory in the rocky land, the entire Chongshan knew that Qingyuan had a bad god who was not easy to mess with, and he destroyed the second master of Heifeng Ridge with hundreds of minions.
For Hu Erscar and others, if they were just surrounded by officers and soldiers, they still had a little luck in their hearts, but now that they learned that Yan Kui led the troops, the bandits were like frosted eggplants, and most of them lost the courage to resist.
Different from the minions who were not ready to surrender, Hu Erscar, an old brain, was still a little calm, and he shouted a few times to suppress some rioting subordinates, and he showed his head again.
"It turned out to be Yan Ye, the villain has heard of Yan Ye's name for a long time, I don't know if Yan Ye can tell me if the little ones are lowered, what does the government plan to do with us."
…………
"Isn't this guy stupid?"
Hearing Lian Hu Er's shout, Yan Kui chuckled, turned his head and smiled at Qin Wu who was following him.
Qin Wu grinned cooperatively, and the simple knife in his hand moved slightly: "Second brother, why don't you say something nice and get them out." ”
Yan Kui shook his head: "They are not so stupid, besides, how to deal with the bandits who surrendered, your second brother and I do not have this right to agree at present."
If I really respond to them today, not to mention the suspicion of overstepping my authority, if something goes wrong in the future, I will end up with a reputation of dishonesty, and it is not worth taking a reputation for a group of vulnerable bandits. ”
Qin Wu nodded when he heard this: "I understand, I will lead someone to rush up in a while, slaughter that Hu Er scar first, and the rest will be easy to get." ”
"Nope."
Yan Kui refuted Qin Wu's proposal: "Hu Er's scar will be handed over to me, and you can deal with those minions." ”
After that, regardless of Qin Wu's reaction, he stepped forward and shouted: "How to deal with the adults above, what I can guarantee is that it is better to surrender now than to die here today."
I'll give you a quarter of an hour to think about it, if you don't open the door and surrender, I'm going to kill today. ”
After Yan Kui finished speaking, he ordered his militia to prepare for war, took a few steps back, closed his eyes and rested.
………
The militia waited quietly, while Hu Erscar and his gang in the wooden village were boiling.
There are those who have a hard personality and are unwilling to be captured, pulling their necks and shouting to fight to the death with the official army, but more bandits still say that they will open the door and surrender, expecting the court to give them a way out.
The two parties quarreled and argued with each other, and finally set their eyes on the gloomy Hu Erscar, expecting him to take the final idea.
Hu Erscar glanced around at the minions around him, his eyes were fierce, his family knew his own affairs, and he had fallen into the grass for many years, and the things committed by Hu Erscar were not many times to cut off his head ten times, so he understood that if he surrendered today, others might still be able to live, and he himself would definitely not escape death.
"The head has a scar the size of a bowl, he Yan Kui is also a human, let's stick to the wooden village, they can still fly up.
My old and Hu are also out of the way, and there are still 1,000 taels of silver buried in the earthen wall in the backyard, if I can defeat Yan Kui today, I will give all the money to everyone, and I will not interfere if I leave or stay at that time. ”
Money can be a god, but also a courage.
Hu Er Scar led a few henchmen to put a thousand taels of silver in front of everyone, all the bandits are not calm, maybe they will not fight to the death for Hu Er Scar, but they can fight hard for the silver.
Hu Erscar took the opportunity to agitate a few more words, and a group of bandits who were carried away by the silver suppressed their fear of Yan Kui, copied the guys, and prepared to fight with the official army.
…………
Outside the wooden village
More than half an hour had passed, Yan Kui reopened his eyes, and said with a smile: "The surname Hu still has two strokes, and he can actually suppress the situation." ”
Qin Wu couldn't help but say, "What should I do, second brother, a stick of incense is about to arrive, and the brothers can't get on it?" ”
Yan Kui waved his hand leisurely: "What's the hurry, I said to wait for a pillar of incense, and I didn't say that I would attack the village immediately after a stick of incense, and now the people inside are waiting for us, and I can't go up to them at this time, let's go up and vent their morale." ”
Qin Wu suddenly realized, and Yan Kui said again: "Tell the brothers, get ready for me, and when I give the order, all rush up for me, and strive to take Hu Er's scar in one fell swoop." ”
"Yes."
Qin Wu responded with high morale, turned around to boost morale, and Hu Erscar and his gang in Muzhai, because Yan Kui did not move, the courage he had just mustered up began to fall again.
Time kept passing, Yan Kui and the militia still did not move, the bandits in the village became more and more anxious, and the atmosphere began to change from depression to some madness.
"I can't stand it anymore, I don't want the silver, I'm going to surrender."
A bandit couldn't stand the torment of waiting, shouted with a roar, and was about to run to the gate of the village, Hu Erscar hurriedly went up and kicked it down, and the steel knife in his hand turned, directly piercing the bandit who wanted to escape.
wiped a handful of blood from his face, Hu Erscar's face was extremely fierce: "Whoever runs at this time will want my life, and whoever wants my life, I will take his life first." ”
…………
With the corpses on the ground and the blood all over his body, when Hu Erscar said this, his momentum was not insufficient, if it was placed in the past, it would definitely be able to deter these brave minions.
But what's worse is that now because of the pressure of the "army" outside, the bandits are really nervous and anxious, and they are so frightened by Yan Kui's psychological warfare, their emotions have reached the verge of collapse.
The three bandits, who couldn't hold on, suddenly rushed towards Hu Erscar with red eyes and a knife, and under the surprise attack, Hu Erscar couldn't dodge and was stabbed in his right arm.
Although Hu Erscar's henchmen reacted quickly and dealt with the three anti-water bandits, the situation in the village could no longer be controlled, and many bandits who wanted to surrender to the official army rushed to the gate of the village.
Outside the stockade, Yan Kui quickly discovered that something was wrong inside, and under great joy, he immediately rushed up with the militia.
The bandits were busy with infighting, and few of them noticed that the officers and soldiers had launched an attack, and even if someone found out, the sound of the announcement was silenced by the shouts of killing.
Yan Kui took the militiamen to the gate without any damage, Qin Wu ordered the militia carrying the wood to hit the door, but was stopped by Yan Kui, he had already found that the quality of the gate was average, he was too lazy to delay time, raised the mace in his hand and slammed it into the gate.
bang
bang
bang
Bang
Three times, accompanied by a loud bang, Yan Kui smashed the gate of the village with a mace in the shocked eyes of the militiamen.
Shaking his hands imperceptibly, Yan Kui shouted at everyone: "What are you doing in a daze, kill." ”
When the word "kill" came out, all the militia reacted one after another, and the already high morale suddenly jumped to another peak because of Yan Kui's feat, and rushed into the wooden village under the leadership of Qin Wu.
………
Yan Kui was the last to enter, the reason was very simple, just now he underestimated the sturdiness of the walled gate, and the three-stick door was broken, but in fact, his hands were numb by the shock.
I can't pretend and force like this anymore next time, and I almost showed my eyes.........
Yan Kui reflected in his heart, recovered most of his hands and held the mace, and opened a scoop of a little minion who wanted to sneak out while the chaos, and successfully made several minions who were also thinking like this die of heart, honestly dropped their weapons, and knelt on the ground.
Several militiamen stepped forward and shouted at the surrendered bandits to take care of them, and after a while, similar scenes were played out all over the village.
There were not many people in Hu Erscar's group, plus a few died in infighting, and the rest were even less, Qin Wu rushed in with people, and most of the bandits surrendered immediately, leaving only Hu Erscar with a dozen or so dead friends to resist stubbornly, and it didn't take long for them to be killed by the militia.
Yan Kui carried a mace, came to Hu Erscar, who was surrounded by the militia, looked up and down, and found that this famous bandit in Qingyuan looked quite thoughtful, except for the scar on his face, he changed his clothes and dressed up, and said that the shopkeeper who was doing business was believed by everyone.
But now he doesn't have that chance...
Yan Kui looked at Hu Er's scar who was holding a knife and glared at him, and said with a smile: "Yes, I still have some backbone, to be honest, I thought you would surrender directly before I came." ”
Hu Er, who knew that he was fierce and unlucky, did not have the cowardice of negotiating with Yan Kui just now, straightened up and glanced at Yan Kui contemptuously.
"I have long heard that you Yan Er is powerful, Hu Ye and I have always been unconvinced, if you are not afraid, it is better for me to see the number one man in Qingyuan today."
Yan Kui looked at Hu Erscar with a smile: "Is this asking for fame before you die, or do you want to fight and pull me down before you die?" ”
Hu Erscar thought seriously for a moment and replied, "Both." “
Yan Kui shook his head with a smile, his face was solemn: "Look at you are also a man, I will fulfill you today." ”
"Thank you."
Hu Erscar arched his hand at Yan Kui, his eyes were cold, he stepped on a lunge, and quickly swung his knife at Yan Kui, Yan Kui didn't dodge, and the mace in his hand slammed in the direction of Hu Erscar.
bang
Blood exploded and corpses fell to the ground.
Yan Kui turned around and left without looking back, leaving only one sentence: "The head of the owl, it will be sent to the county government to report the meritorious ......... later"
