The hidden thieves and rangers in Yangxia County were killed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I think they were still making fun of Zhao Hongrun a few days ago, laughing at the latter, the dignified king, who didn't dare to speak up anymore after the arsenal was captured, and they didn't dare to collect their weapons in the whole city.

Unexpectedly, only a few days later, they realized the consequences of King Su's anger.

Zhao Hongrun used drastic means to make the hidden thief forces and rangers in Yangxia County realize one thing: he is by no means a soft persimmon that can be kneaded at will.

What the? After the arsenal was attacked, then spend the effort to collect the weapons in the city? Another sword ban?

There's no need at all, those disobedient guys just kill them!

Even, some merchant sailors killed those rangers who carried weapons with them, and they didn't even look at the weapons that fell to the ground, and they still fell to the ground.

Who dares to pick it up?!

Whoever picks up kills whom! Pick up and kill!

When the tongue can't be solved, he directly beats the other party down with his fists, which is the tried-and-true royal road for the skin and domineering for the bone strategy.

By the evening of February 17, the Hidden Thieves Pavilion and the Ranger Group in Yangxia City had been hit by the main force of the Shangshui Army, and I don't know how many lives had been killed in this melee.

And among them, the vast majority are people from the hidden thief forces and ranger groups.

I have to say that these two may have been called earth overlords and land snakes in Yangxia in the past, but in front of regular armies such as the Shang Shui Army, they are just weak chickens, just a group of rabble.

As the fierce soldier Yang Wu said, those who participated in the suppression of the main force of the Shang Shui Army, generally said that the hidden thieves and rangers on the Yangxia side were too weak, and they only dared to make a noise with the large number of people, but when the Shang Shui Army began to suppress it, these people died and fled, and they were actually defeated in a face-to-face effort.

This is not as powerful as the Hu slave soldiers enslaved by the Qiangjiao tribe at the beginning, not to mention the original Qiangjiao cavalry, which has now been renamed the Northern Sichuan Cavalry.

It was precisely because of this that the soldiers of the main force of the Shang Shui Army did not regard this suppression as any battle at all, because in their opinion, it was simply some kind of exercise used to digest food after meals.

I saw the soldiers of the main force of the Shangshui Army, while suppressing the hidden thieves and ranger forces in Yangxia County, they chatted with their companions about the reward given to them by the imperial court after the Battle of Sanchuan a while ago, or some people were still taking time to think about how to use the post-war reward.

In the face of the main non-commissioned officers of the Shangshui Army, who did not take them seriously in the slightest, the hidden thieves and ranger forces in Yangxia County were also angry, and launched a retaliatory counterattack against the Shangshui soldiers patrolling the streets late on the night of February 17.

However, when they rushed out of the secluded alleys in an attempt to attack the merchant soldiers who were patrolling the streets, the latter were far less numerous than the former, but they did not hurry, and set up a few things that looked like large wooden boxes in front of and behind the procession.

Then, a sound similar to "Tutu" was heard, and the hidden thieves and rangers were horrified to find that most of their companions had died inexplicably.

"This thing is so easy to use. …… It's even better than a repeater. ”

Yang Wu, a soldier of the Shang Shui Army, looked at the group of embarrassed and retreating hidden thieves and rangers in the distance, and excitedly patted the war weapon shaped like a large wooden box beside him, the crossbow box, or the mechanism crossbow box.

You know, they didn't do it at all, and with just those few crossbow boxes, they killed those hidden thieves and rangers with their faces like dirt, and they fled in embarrassment.

And when those hidden thieves and rangers fled in confusion, Yang Wu's merchant and water soldiers, who were responsible for guarding and patrolling the streets, didn't even bother to chase after them, and gathered around the crossbow boxes one by one, talking with a fresh face.

They didn't feel a little proud and proud, because as the descendants of King Su's army, their merchant and naval army always had access to some of the latest war weapons developed by the Smelting Bureau.

For example, the repeating heavy crossbow and the detachable catapult used in the last Battle of Sankawa.

They had already asked the soldiers of the Chenggao army, and from the latter, they learned that among the garrisons of the Wei State, their Shangshui army was the first army to use this kind of war weapon.

Although those crossbows and catapults had been handed over to the Chenggao army after the battle as powerful weapons to consolidate the strength of the Chenggao Pass border fortress, the Shangshui soldiers were still very proud: after all, they used what was left.

Although the Shang and water armies were all from the Chu people, they used the latest and most powerful weapons of the Wei State, which made them even more convinced that the King of Su really regarded them as a descendant army.

Look at the Dangshan Army, what a terrible Wei army, but do they have this kind of weapon? No!

This is the advantage of being a member of the merchant army, once the Smelting Bureau has a new weapon, they can always be the first to try it and appreciate the great power of the latest weapon.

"Such a useful weapon, I can't figure out why His Royal Highness King Su gave up on letting the Smelting Bureau improve it......"

Yang Wu shook his head incomprehensibly, and then, as if he had thought of something, he glanced at the empty streets and alleys, and then at the crossbow box that was still "spitting out crossbow arrows suddenly", frowned and asked, "How can this thing be closed?" ”

"I can't turn it off."

Beside him, his companion Le Leopard shrugged his shoulders and said, "During the day, a few teams of brothers tried it, and once this thing turned on the switch, it would continue to fire crossbow arrows, and it would not stop until all the crossbow arrows in the box were fired. …… Two teams of brothers tried to force it down, but it broke down instantly. ”

Le Leopard's words made the nearby Shangshui soldiers suddenly realize: No wonder King Su gave up this seemingly powerful war weapon, it turned out to be a defective product.

"But it's still a lot of fun." Yang Wu grinned.

Unfortunately, he couldn't laugh right away, because the few crossbow boxes that were still firing bolts formed a net of fire, and they could only stand there and stare at them until they finished firing the bolts in the boxes.

What the? Continuing to patrol with these things? What if I bump into Tong Ze from another team and accidentally injure the other party?

"This thing...... Give up, give up. ”

Yang Wu retracted his previous praise for the crossbow box and said wistfully.

His words made the surrounding merchants and sailors laugh.

Compared with the happy troubles of the soldiers and soldiers of Shangshui, those hidden thieves and rangers are much more miserable.

You must know that they are not as fierce and good at fighting as the Shang Shui soldiers, so they relied on the strength of the crowd to retaliate against the former, but they did not expect that the Shang Shui Army moved out of the crossbow box, wrapped their hands around them, and did nothing, and they were able to defeat them.

How can this be fought?

I have to say that the gap between the two sides in terms of weapon configuration is too big, which makes the hidden thieves and ranger forces in Yangxia City have no room for counterattack in front of the Shang Shui Army, and it is simply a one-sided slaughter.

That night, the civilians in Yangxia County spent the night in fear, for fear of harming themselves, they did not dare to close their eyes all night.

By the next day, 18 February, some of the brave civilians would get up early and watch the movement in the streets from their homes.

They were horrified to see that the merchant soldiers were dragging the corpses to the secluded alleys, and on the pavement of the street, there was a large area of blood-stained pavement almost every other section, and a famous merchant and water soldier was cleaning the blood stains with dirt and ash.

There is no doubt that last night's clash between the Yangxia Hidden Thief Ranger Force and the Shang Shui Army ended in the victory of the latter.

"This military master ......"

An old man who seemed to be in his fifties, carrying a hoe, walked out of the alley timidly, and cautiously asked a merchant soldier on the street: "Are the soldiers under martial law?" The old man went to the farmland outside the city to sow seeds, so as not to miss the spring ploughing......"

"You go, yours." The merchant sailant beckoned and said kindly.

It's a pity that the armor on his body is bright red, and the old man's heart trembles a little.

However, later facts proved that these merchant soldiers who were fierce in front of the hidden thieves and rangers were quite kind in their attitude towards ordinary civilians.

Even, some Shangshui soldiers even vaguely told the civilians who appeared on the streets one after another, telling them not to take the path, so as not to be frightened by something bad.

For example, piles of dead bodies like mounds.

Because of the kindness of the Shang Shui Army, the Yangxia civilians who had been frightened for a night dared to come out one after another.

However, after thinking about it carefully, these civilians felt that their fears were completely unnecessary: although the Shang Shui army was an army composed of Chu people who defected to Wei, they were now also Wei troops, so how could they attack them civilians for no reason?

Once they figured out this, the civilians of Yangxia County were no longer afraid of the merchant water army, and they still did what they did in the past and what they do today, some went out of the city to spring plough the farmland outside the city, and some were busy with other things, making the streets of the city deserted at dawn gradually become lively again.

As if nothing had happened.

At the same time, Zhao Hongrun was in the hall of the county government, carefully looking at a special map.

On this special map, it is marked that the hidden thief forces such as Yiqiuzhong, Black Spider, Mourning Crow, and Duanlou are secretly built in a thief village outside the county seat.

There is only no location of the thieves in Fuqiu.

The reason is very simple, because this map is the map that Jin Gou, the leader of the Fuqiu people, personally presented when he secretly met Zhao Hongrun again.

The old man...... It's really ruthless, not caring about the friendship of peers, or is it that peers are enemies?

Zhao Hongrun stood up and paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back for a few steps.

To pacify the hidden thief forces in Yangxia, Zhao Hongrun formulated a two-step plan: the first step was to clear the hidden thief forces in Yangxia County and block those tunnels that could lead to the outside of the county; The second step is to formally attack the secret thief village built by the hidden thief forces in the mountains and forests outside the county.

The question is, if the hidden thief forces such as Yiqiuzhong, Black Spider, and Mourning Crow are cut off, and only one Fuqiu people are left, is this really appropriate?

The sinister and ruthless leader of the Yiqiu people, Jin Gou, Zhao Hongrun thought that he was not completely sure that he could control such a heroic character.

But without the help of the Fuqiu people, Zhao Hongrun had a hunch that he would immediately send the Shang Shui Army to encircle and suppress the battle of those hidden thief forces, which was likely to cause heavy losses to the Shang Shui Army.

After all, those hidden thief forces are not comparable to those hidden thieves in Yangxia County.

Just when Zhao Hongrun was entangled, Zong Wei Zhou Pu came to Xianya, hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness, there is a man named Youma in the county prison, and he has been shouting to see Your Highness since last night. ”

"Yuma?"

Zhao Hongrun was stunned, and then glanced thoughtfully at the special map in his hand. (To be continued.) )
