Chapter Ninety-Two: Gathering Annihilation
After the black scorpion tribe swept the entire Shanxian County, he pretended to stay in the southern part of Shanxian for three days, making a gesture of returning to Henan, and then, under the leadership of Monk An, took advantage of the night to raid Jinxiang County in the northeast. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At dawn, more than 5,000 people finally arrived at the village of Jinxiang County.
Everyone could see from a distance that the village on the opposite side seemed to have not woken up from sleep and was still in a state of silence. A few peasants with hoes and burdens were walking around the village, as if they were planning to go out of the village to work.
"Dashuai, in front of it is Jili Village, which is the largest township in Jinxiang County, with fertile land, a lot of grain storage, and several rich people. You see, there are villagers walking around in front of you, which means that they have returned to their hometowns after hearing that we are going to return to Henan. Now is the best time for our army to attack. ”
After Monk An finished speaking hurriedly, the black scorpion couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"Damn, I've finally found a fat sheep! Brothers, guys, with a certain family, wealth and wealth are just around the corner, rush! The black scorpion snorted suddenly, and took the lead in pulling out the waist knife.
"Rush!" The generals such as the mountain tiger and a hair also shouted one after another.
The eyes of each rogue, full of greed and thirst, everyone clamored and brandished their knives and guns, and swarmed through the entrance of the village.
A clairie mirror hidden behind a house is keeping a close eye on the rogues who are storming into the village.
After the clairvoyant mirror was lowered, a handsome and sharp-eyed face was revealed, and at this time, a faint smile appeared on this face.
This person is Li Xiao.
After a long period of planning and control, today, it is finally time to close the net.
The secret sentinels of the Security Division have secretly contacted Monk An. Let him last night, take all the rogues to the Jili village in Jinxiang County, where Li Xiaojun set up an ambush.
The peasants who were wandering around the village were all disguised as the security sentry detectives. In fact, the whole village has been moved, and now all the exits of the village have been fenced, leaving only the village entrance to enter, which is a standard ambush formation for inviting the king into the urn.
Li Xiao could see clearly that there were only more than 100 cavalry, the rest were infantry, and there were about 1,000 people wearing broken armor and better weapons in their hands, which should be the core of the old camp of thieves. And those who had no armor at all, only a weapon in hand, were the new soldiers of the rogue and the newly coerced civilians.
The Black Scorpion all rushed into the village, and they were surprised to find that the village, which should have been frightened and the people cried and fled for their lives, was still silent.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and the black scorpion looked around, and the peasants had long since disappeared.
He was experienced in combat, as if he had a premonition of something, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
He hurriedly glanced around, and immediately found that Monk An and the dozens of bandits under him who had come to surrender were nowhere to be found.
The black scorpion understood everything in an instant.
Damn, it turns out that I have already become a chess piece for others!
Monk An, you bastard, you deceived Lao Tzu so hard!
"Monk An, fucking get out of here! Lao Tzu was deceived by you! The black scorpion let out a roar that bordered on despair.
No one answered him, except for the sound of neat footsteps and the grinding of armor from the various exits of the village.
"Retreat!" The black scorpion turned the horse's head and shouted.
It's late.
Before they could act, they heard a loud "boom" behind them. Looking back, a platoon of shield soldiers of more than 100 people had tightly blocked the retreat road at the entrance of the village.
The black scorpion's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the ice abyss.
It's over, and the dumplings are completely wrapped.
"Boss, look, there's someone on the roof over there." The voice of the mountain tiger trembled.
The black scorpion screamed, turned his head suddenly, and immediately saw that on the roof of the ancestral hall in the village in the distance, sixty soldiers with slender and black and dense guns in their hands, the fire ropes hanging from the guns were burning loudly, and each soldier was aiming at himself without saying a word.
The rogues were suddenly even more agitated, and everyone's faces were full of despair.
In the suffocating silence, suddenly there was the faint sound of horses' hooves.
"Commander, look, someone is coming over there, it must be the leader of these officers and soldiers." A hair said in horror.
He was right, at this time, Li Xiao was under the escort of Monk Tian Wei'an and others, standing behind a row of shield soldiers in front of the black scorpion.
Looking at Monk An, who was standing proudly with Li Xiao, the black scorpion gritted his teeth with hatred.
"You're the black scorpion?" Li Xiao asked in a flat tone.
"It's a certain family, which Ming dog are you!" The black scorpion shouted.
"In Xia Li Xiao, he is the general of the Ming army, and it is a blessing to meet the black leader here today." Li Xiao had a smile on his face.
"Don't talk nonsense, our army is treacherous, and regret not being at the beginning. If you want to fight, you will fight, and you will tremble! "The black scorpion is still hard with teeth.
"Hmph, black scorpion, you are now surrounded by our army, there is no reason to escape, this official advises you to recognize the situation and surrender as soon as possible, otherwise, this official will definitely take the lives of you and your subordinates!" When Li Xiao said this, his face was already hideous.
"Haha, Lao Tzu fought from Shaanxi to Shandong, and he has never surrendered! This time, Lao Tzu will fight to the death with you! The black scorpion raised his knife and shouted: "Rush! Kill the dog! ”
"Rush!" The rogues clamoured again, led by more than a hundred cavalrymen, and the rogues rushed to Li Xiao's position like a frenzy.
Li Xiao waved his hand expressionlessly.
Like a dense burst of beans, more than forty of the sixty Lumi hairpins rang out, bright red afterburners loomed in the dense and choking smoke screen, and more than forty small lead bullets weighing three coins let out a slight scream like the laughter of death, and rushed towards the direction of the black scorpion.
The cavalry guards next to the black scorpion, who were lucky not to be shot, were horrified to see that many small blood flowers suddenly bloomed on the black scorpion's back and under his crotch, and the black scorpion shook for a moment, silently, and fell down with his own screaming mount.
More than a dozen unlucky cavalrymen were also shot one after another, screaming and falling from their horses.
The black scorpion, which was crushed by the mount that was still convulsing and screaming, died silently.
The rogues who rushed forward suddenly stagnated. Everyone was stunned at this moment.
"To descend or not to descend?" Monk An's thunderous roar exploded in the ears of every rogue.
"Drop or not!"
"Drop or not!"
"Drop or not!"
。。。。。。
All Li Xiao's soldiers roared together, and the continuous shouts were like spring thunder, making the sky of the entire Jili Village tremble.
"It's down! My lord, we have descended! ”
The sound of throwing down swords, and the sound of kneeling, as well as low cries and scoldings, suddenly resounded.
This battle, which had been planned for nearly a month, ended in ten minutes.
Tian Wei, the head of General A, was full of regret, and he spat angrily: "What a fucking group of cowards!" surrendered after a row of guns, and Lao Tzu's knife head was not yet bloody. ”
Li Xiaojun did not suffer any casualties, except for killing and wounding more than 10 rogue cavalrymen, a total of 5,340 rogues were captured, 112 usable war horses, hundreds of tattered armor, thousands of swords, guns and shields.
The next step is to say goodbye.
With Monk An, who had beaten the inside of the Black Scorpion Department, to identify him, the screening work was carried out very smoothly.
Twenty-nine villains, such as pan-mountain tigers and a single hair, who had too much blood on their hands and the blood of the good people, were all lined up and kneeled on the ground, and then killed on the spot.
With a shout, the sword light flew together, and the twenty-nine heads fell to the ground in an instant, and the blood gushing out from the neck stained the dark yellow earth a bright red.
All the soldiers who watched Li Xiao were expressionless. And the detained rogues who were forcibly ordered by Li Xiao to watch, seeing these rogue generals who had done all the bad things and had been powerful in front of them, were all in different places, and their faces were as pale as dirt.
Some soldiers of the old battalion in Shaanxi who originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, saw this terrifying scene, and no one dared to joke with their own lives.
This is the effect that Li Xiao wants to achieve, killing chickens and scaring monkeys, so that these fierce rogues no longer have the slightest fighting spirit to resist.
Soon, other results were reported.
There are a total of 1,065 soldiers in the old battalion, more than 2,000 soldiers in the new annex army, and the rest are all the people of Henan who have recently been coerced.
Li Xiao ordered that all the old battalion soldiers and the new attached soldiers be taken into custody, and those people who were coerced, Li Xiao planned to let them go home on their own.
What he didn't expect was that when he heard that Li Xiao was going to let them go, those people knelt down one after another.
"Lord Li, our hometown in Henan has been burned and plundered, and we are already homeless. Ask for the grace of the adults, take us in, we can do any work, and if you have a stutter, it will be done! A few young and older men bowed to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao sighed, helped him for a while, and said: "Everyone, as the old saying goes, save people to the end, since you can trust Li, then, let's all stay." This official will definitely give adults a way to live. ”
Hearing Li Xiao's words, the people who knelt on the ground cried loudly, thanking Li Xiao for his life.
Li Xiaofang asked them to retreat, and a sergeant came to report: "My lord, Lord Nicheng, the prefect of Yanzhou, has arrived." ”
Li Xiao hurriedly led the generals to greet him.
Ni Cheng, the word Dengfu, the north Zhili Julu people, Chongzhen Jinshi, Chongzhen five years, because of the former Yanzhou prefect Wang Changgan and Lu King Zhu Shouhong discord, only worked less than a month of the prefect, was falsely imprisoned by Zhu Shouhong, and finally died in exile. He was then succeeded by Ni Cheng.
Ni Cheng is a person, much more sleek than the former prefect Wang Changgan, who has a straightforward personality, and treats people and things without being humble or arrogant, and is gentle and moderate. But in his heart, this person is very assertive and quite clever and decisive. When the Qing soldiers entered Koushan in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, it was this person who led the Yanzhou soldiers to defend desperately, so as to defeat the attacking Qing army and ensure that the Yanzhou capital city was not lost. Zhu Shouyong, who was the king of Lu at the time, cried and said: "If it weren't for the nun to save his life, my mansion would be dead." ”
Ni Cheng finally died of illness in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen due to overwork. After his death, the people of Yanzhou raised funds to set up a moral and political monument for him, and the inscription came from the hand of the literary master Fan Shutai.
Li Xiao had already dealt with Ni Cheng some time ago, and he was quite impressed by this shrewd, capable and kind Yanzhou prefect. After the two met for the first time, they quickly spoke happily. Regarding Li Xiao's request for food and grass, Ni Cheng also readily agreed.
Ni Cheng was in his heart, and he even had the feeling of taking advantage.
He only needs to provide food and grass, and he can get the great assistance of an elite general like Li Xiaojun, and he will be stationed in Shanxian County for a long time in the future to resist thieves, but he has relieved a lot of pressure on the prefect of Yanzhou.
Hearing that Li Xiaojun had eliminated all the rogues in just over ten minutes, Ni Cheng, who was waiting for news in Jinxiang County, was very surprised, and hurriedly rushed to Jili Village with hundreds of stones of grain and grass and more than 100 fat pigs.
"Li Qianhu wiped out this group of rogues so quickly and surrendered, he is really a young hero and resourceful. Ni is really admired. Ni Cheng, who was dressed in a civil official uniform from the fourth grade, had a very bright smile on his face.
"The Ni Prefect has a good reputation, but if it weren't for the strong assistance of the Ni Prefect, Ande would have received all the credit." Li Xiao smiled.
The two then found a secluded place in the village and sat down, and Ni Cheng lowered his voice and said, "Li Qianhu, dare to ask your ministry what to do next?" ”
Li Xiao knew that Ni Cheng was afraid that he would go back to Chifeng Castle. He smiled and said to him: "Ni Zhifu, don't worry, our army will go straight to Shanxian next, choose a place to build a fort, and garrison the people." ”
Ni Cheng's face suddenly brightened, and he said with a smile: "Very good! Very good! There are strong troops like Li Qianhu stationed in our Yanzhou, and there are many responsibilities on the shoulders of this government. ”
Ni Cheng, who was in a good mood, then generously said that after Li Xiaojun went to Shanxian County, until the construction of the fort was completed, during this time, the food supply of all the soldiers stationed in the cantonment could be taken care of by the Yanzhou government.
Li Xiao was also very happy in his heart, and thanked him repeatedly.
Ni Cheng suddenly remembered something again, and he asked: "My lord, some time ago, the Black Scorpion Department was poisoned in Shanxian County, and all the villages were burned down. ”
Li Xiao said with a smile: "It's okay, you can give a notice to the Zhao County Order of Shanxian County, but all the villagers of Shanxian County whose homes are destroyed can come to help our army build a fort in Shanxian County, and the official will pay them a monthly salary and pay for food, and after the fort is completed, they can take this salary and go home to rebuild their houses." ”
Ni Cheng's heart fell to the ground, and he said to Li Xiao with emotion: "Li Qianhu cares about the people, he is really a benevolent person, and he is courteous from this government. ”
