Chapter 20 Defending Success
When Yuan Xu to the east of Zhuangzi led a team to defeat the thieves, Yang Hao to the west of Zhuangzi also led a team to defeat the thieves in the west, only the thieves to the north of Zhuangzi broke the resistance of the young man led by Yuan Bao and were doing evil in Zhuangzi.
"Zhuang owner, Yuan Bao is useless, he failed to withstand the attack of the thieves, and now let the thieves enter the village." After Yuan Bao was defeated in the north of Zhuang, he hurriedly organized the young Zhuang around him to retreat and fight, and now he has retreated to the vicinity of Yuan Chao's house, Yuan Bao entered the house with a crying face and pleaded guilty to Yuan Chao.
"Uncle Clan, the young man you led suddenly blocked the attack, it was not easy to withstand it for so long, so you don't have to blame yourself. Now what we have to do is to guard the last position and wait for Yuan Xu and Yang Hao to come to their rescue. Yuan Chao comforted Yuan Bao, and now Yuan Chao is also holding a long stick in his hand, ready to do the last stick.
"However, we are now surrounded by old and weak women and children, some of the young people outside the Zhuangzi have been injured and scattered, some are fighting fires and protecting the Zhuangzi facilities in various places in the village, some are protecting other women and children in the Zhuangzi, and there are only dozens of strong men left near our house fighting with nearly a hundred thieves." Yuan Bao told Yuan Chao about the danger of the situation.
"Then it depends on whether they rush in first and kill my Yuan Dynasty, or my Chen military camp will defeat the thieves outside Zhuangzi first." Yuan Chao roared loudly, and was about to fight to the end with the thieves who attacked Chen Zhuang.
"Lord Zhuang, if the thief dares to come in, I will protect you." A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who looked like a teenager picked up the small stone beside him and stood in front of Yuan Chao. "Mr. Wang told us that as a gentleman, we must have the spirit of repaying the king's golden platform and carrying the jade dragon to die for the king, and I, Wang Xiangyu, am willing to protect the owner of the village and repay the owner's kindness."
"Owner, if the thief dares to hurt you, I will dig out his face."
"Owner, the old man has lived enough, the thieves are going to hurt you, I will break their legs with a stick"
The old and weak women and children in the house also consciously surrounded the Yuan Dynasty and protected the Yuan Dynasty.
"Good, good. I Chen Zhuang is united in my heart, and I will go to Zhuang together, and there is no reason to be invincible in this battle. Yuan Chao saw the support of the Zhuang people around him, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.
"Brothers, do you see, the house of the Yuan Dynasty is in front, let's rush to the Zhuangzi one step ahead of others, go in and grab all the money, slaughter the Yuan Dynasty, and then burn the house on fire, and give them a death without proof." The owner of Li Zhuang also realized that he had completely departed from their previous plan to rob while the fire was burning, but he also understood that there was no turning back from the bow, so he simply changed it to open robbery, and finally thought about blaming the robbers, which was really not good, so he said that when he was fighting the fire, someone had a thief's heart, and it was good to push out a few ghosts for the dead, as long as he entered the house and shut up the truth-tellers, the rest could always be dealt with.
The last dozen or so strong men retreated to the Yuan Dynasty's mansion, pulled tables, chairs and benches and tightly pressed the door against it.
The sound of "knock, knock, knock" knocked on the door, and the hearts of the people in the house who listened tightened for a while.
"Brothers, work hard, we have already blocked Yuan Chao in the house, and after a few more hits, the door will be opened." Outside the door, the thieves found a beam from nowhere. Hit the outside.
"Arrogant thieves, the head of the thieves in the east of Zhuangzi has been captured, you don't hurry up and surrender." Just as the goalkeeper was about to crash open, Yuan Xu, who came from the east of Zhuangzi, finally arrived, followed by dozens of members of the 100th team of the Chen military camp.
"Huh? Could it be that Feng Tian's turtle grandson was arrested, and he led more than 200 people thanks to him, I am really going to be miserable by this turtle grandson this time. "The mood of the owner of Li Zhuang has fallen from the peak just now to the bottom.
"He's lying, don't listen to him, resist it, hit it quickly." The owner of Li Zhuang understands that this time is all over, and now he can only let others hold on for a while, and quickly sneak back to Zhuangzi to pack up some soft runs, as long as he can get away and take refuge in his uncle who is an official in Nanzhili, he must be able to make a comeback in less than a few years.
"Hmph, arrogant man, don't give up, brothers, come with me." Yuan Xu saw that the thieves were still watching, so he pointed his wooden gun, and all the squads rushed forward.
"Master, do you hear that? I heard Captain Yuan Xu's voice, and he rushed over. Yuan Bao cried happily beside him.
"Well, I heard it, it's really immortal my Chen Zhuang, the heroes in the house, they all copy the good guys, and they are ready to go out and beat up that group of thieves." Yuan Chao was beaten for most of the night today, and he didn't care about anything else now, he just wanted to go out and beat people.
"Defeated, defeated. Run. The thieves in Zhuangzi saw that the Chen military camp was killed so violently, and they heard that the east had been defeated, and the owner of Feng Zhuang had been captured, and they had no intention of getting rich, so they all began to turn around and run away.
Next, in the entire Zhuangzi, Yuan Chao rushed out of the courtyard, Yuan Xu followed closely behind the defeated thieves, Yang Hao also copied from the western bread, and the battle of life and death completely turned into a chase battle.
The chase lasted until dawn.
After dawn, under the threshing floor in the south of Chenzhuang, more than 200 thieves knelt in rows. There were also nearly a hundred corpses piled up next to it. The five thieves, in addition to Feng Tian and the other three owners were captured, the owner of Li Zhuang was also beaten to death by the excited Chen Zhuang villagers. The other 200 or so thieves were scattered and disappeared.
On the side of the Yuan Dynasty, twenty-three people were killed in the Chen camp, and dozens of people were wounded. More than 40 people were also killed, and the injuries were not counted, and dozens of houses were destroyed in the village, and the damage was not light.
"Feng Tian, you and other local tyrants and inferior gentry, my Chen Zhuang has no grievances with you, you actually led people to attack my Zhuangzi, kill my Zhuang people, and destroy my Zhuang house, you just wait to be escorted to Chenzhou to accept trial." Yuan Chao angrily announced his disposition of them.
"No grievances? As the owner of a village, you don't raise the rent, but you still collect tenants nearby, causing a lot of tenants in our village, which is not enough, I heard that you want to continue to collect tenants, and you want us to lose all of our property? Yuan Chao, Yuan Chao, haven't you heard the saying that cutting off people's wealth is like killing your parents? And Yuan Chao, don't forget, your Chen Zhuang is under the jurisdiction of the Shangshui County Yamen, you should send us to the Shangshui County Yamen, not to your father's Chenzhou Yamen. Feng Tian knew that he didn't end up too well, so he simply returned to being a hero.
"I don't want to raise the rent, I don't want to suck up the people's fat and ointment like you, am I very wrong? Hmph, let me tell you Feng Tian, not only will I not raise the rent now, but I will not raise the rent in the future, I want to let my villagers cultivate and work with peace of mind, so that as long as they work hard, they can be fed and clothed. As for which yamen I send you to? Don't worry about this, you collude with swords, attack me Chenzhuang, in my opinion, you are a group of thieves who plot rebellion, I will directly send Chen Zhou, and Lord Zhizhou will personally cut off. ”
"Yuan Xu, Yang Hao, you lead the Chen military camp to take care of them first, and when I finish dealing with the urgent matters in Zhuangzi, let's press them to go to the Chenzhou Yamen together." Yuan Chao then got up and went back to the house to deal with Chen Zhuang's urgent matters.
