Text Chapter 90 Breaking the Village
The silent night shrouded the seemingly ordinary fishing village, and also covered up the hideous side of the fishing village that was unknown to outsiders, and it looked so peaceful and calm, which also covered up the impending killing machine.
Almost all the young and strong men in Yangtan Water Village are dispatched, naturally there are many people who are worried and afraid and can't sleep at night, but ordinary people are reluctant to spend lamp oil and wax in vain, even if they can't sleep again, there are not many families in the village to light the lamp.
With the exception of the most spacious house in the middle of the stockade, most of them were plunged into darkness.
The two of them were still holding knives and dozing off in front of the bonfire, and the others were hiding in a firewood house in the west corner of the wall, and they went to sleep.
With the help of rope hooks, Han Qian and other twenty-five people quietly climbed up the wall, only to find that the top of the walled wall has two steps open, and I don't know whether the military fortress built by the previous dynasty was abandoned and occupied by fishermen, or the fishermen here have been operating for generations.
Jiangnan West Road was still in chaos in the early years of Tianyou, and it was a little more peaceful in the past few years, at present, the military pressure of the imperial court in the north is extremely great, and the place is harsh, and it is not able to rectify the local security for the time being, and there are dozens of such strong water villages in Poyang Lake, Han Qian will not be surprised.
At this time, the eastern hill has already revealed a touch of fish belly white, and the sky will be brightened after any further delay.
At this time, a young man with a cloth towel wrapped his head, pushed open the firewood room, muttered something in his mouth, walked under the wall and took out the words in the crotch of his pants, and soaked in urine happily.
The broken and leaky wooden door was creaky by the wind, and the dim oil lamp had not yet been extinguished, and Han Qian saw eight or nine people sleeping on the ground in it.
When the water thief who peed at night returned to the firewood room, Han Qian motioned to Lin Zongjing and Guo Nuer to take twenty people, slide down the wall along the rope hook, and go to the firewood house, while he and Zhao Wuji, Tian Cheng, and Gao Shao, the cat, touched the two night vigil water thieves who were dozing in front of the bonfire in more than 100 steps.
Fifty paces apart, Zhao Wuji and Gao Shao drew their longbows, and the two arrows came out of the string, like two sharp winds cutting through them. Two vigil thieves turned their heads in shock, one was shot at the door, the arrow pierced through the back of the skull, and the other was shot in the chest by an arrow, fell into the campfire and screamed and convulsed, stirring the firewood to fly down, and tearing the silent night mercilessly.
Gao Shao raised his hand and shot an arrow into the chest of the water thief, his archery skills were definitely not bad, and then he made up for an arrow, killing the water thief who was struggling in the bonfire, but he didn't expect that Zhao Wuji was so young that he had the courage to shoot directly at the critical point of the face, and he was not worried at all that he would miss because of nervousness.
The water thieves in the firewood room heard the screams on the wall, knew that something had happened, and picked up the spear and sword and was about to rush out, but Lin Zongjing and the others had already surrounded the firewood room, raised their swords and shields and forced them to cut over, forcing the water thieves into the firewood room and not rushing out.
Han Qian picked up a spear on the wall, tied up a burning old tree root in the bonfire, and threw it towards the roof of the firewood house.
The firewood house is covered with sun-dried thatch, which is very easy to ignite, and there is a string of fire smoke in a few moments.
This group of water thieves soon realized that the firewood room was set on fire and frantically killed outside, while Gao Shao and Zhao Wuji stood on the wall, shooting arrows with bows one after another, relieving the pressure on Lin Zongjing and them, and sealing more than a dozen water thieves in the firewood room.
Tian Cheng did the same at this time, picked up another spear, and directly picked up the firewood in the bonfire and dropped it to the firewood room one after another.
This side is more than thirty steps away from the firewood house, Han Qian is to tie the firewood with a spear, and throw it together with the spear, before accurately throwing it on the roof of the firewood house, but Tian Cheng just used the blade of the spear to pick up the firewood, and saw that the burning firewood drew an arc in mid-air and accurately fell on the roof of the firewood house.
Tian Cheng didn't stop, and in a few breaths, he picked out more than a dozen pieces of firewood, completely igniting the thatched roof of the firewood house, this skill was obviously much more subtle than Han Qian's.
At this time, the whole fishing village was boiling.
Even though there were all old and weak women and children in the village, except for the ten water thieves left behind here, there were still thirty or forty strong women and old men and half-grown teenagers, picking up knives and sticks, or even more humble only kitchen knives and pitchfork lids, rushing from the streets and alleys to this side.
It's a pity that the sturdy water thieves who stayed behind couldn't rush out of the firewood room, and they were burned to the point of screaming, even if someone came out of the wall in embarrassment, under the light of the fire, it was just an excellent target in the eyes of Zhao Wuji and Gao Shao.
Those old and weak women and children armed with simple blades, in front of Lin Zongjing, Guo Nuer and other elite scouts with elite equipment, swords, shields and armor, are just monsters who give experience.
Soon, more than a dozen people were ruthlessly cut down at the mouth of the alley leading to the firewood house, leaving several pools of blood, and the others no longer dared to rush up, and retreated in fear.
Han Qian climbed down the wall at this time, took Zhao Wuji, Gao Shao, Tian Cheng, Lin Zongjing and others to form a cone-shaped formation, set fire all the way, and killed the most generous house in the middle of the fishing village.
Although there were still people trying to rush over to intercept them along the way, Han Qian ruthlessly killed them.
The courtyard walls of the mansion were built high and thick, and the door of the mansion was closed, but this was no obstacle to Han Qian and them.
Han Qian asked Lin Zongjing and Guo Nuer to bang on the door in front of them, and he, together with Zhao Wuji, Gao Shao, Tian Cheng and others, took a rope hook from the backyard and turned into it, cut down two old men with knives, and rushed to the front yard.
At this time, Lin Zongjing and Guo Nu'er smashed open the door of the house in the front yard, rushed in, and surrounded a beautiful woman with a knife, a child about ten years old, and a little girl of five or six years old in the corner of the courtyard.
"I don't ask you which way you are heroes, as long as you bypass the lives of Niu Er and Rui'er, and let you take the goods in the house, my shopkeeper will never pursue today's matter when he returns." The woman was holding a cattle slaughtering knife, and in a hurry, she was wearing half of her leather armor, and at this time, she protected the young man and the little girl by her side, stared at Han Qian and said.
Han Qian looked at the woman and smacked his lips with regret, for more than half a year, in the face of such a sudden change, maybe he was already scared to the core, this woman still has the courage to negotiate terms with them, it is really not simple.
"There are still two oared canopy boats in the Zhaixi River, my lord, we can completely rob these three people!" Tian Cheng saw the murderous aura in Han Qian's eyes, and leaned over to lower his voice and persuade him.
If they wade back the same way, these three people will be completely burdensome and will not be able to survive; They had just waded through the water, and it took them six or seven miles for an hour, and they couldn't go fast at all, let alone take the captives away.
Han Qian glanced at Tian Cheng, pondered for a while, and then stared at the woman and said:
"If you want to live, don't struggle, and then obediently show us where your treasure is hidden! You guys are really greedy, and you were deceived by our adults to sneak attack Han Daoxun's old dog, seeing the flames rushing to the sky here, why would it take two or three hours to rush back......"
Guo Nu'er stepped forward and snatched the knife from the woman's hand, Han Qian walked over, reached out and pinched the woman's rather slippery chin, stared at her beautiful eyes that were shocked, and said with compassion,
"If you deliberately delay and play tricks with us, I will stab your son and daughter in every cup of tea, and see who can play whom?"
Tian Cheng and Gao Shao glanced at each other, they knew that this trip was going to pretend to be the secret camp of the staff and break the trust between Ji Kun and the water thieves, but it felt strange to hear Han Qian open his mouth indifferently and say that his father was an old dog.
The woman wanted to save the lives of her children, and under her guidance, Han Qian and the others quickly found a bunch of keys and opened the treasury in the northwest corner of the house.
This storehouse is probably the strongest built in this house, with stone walls plastered with glutinous rice pulp, large wooden doors covered with iron, and iron locks are also very strong, and if you don't have a key, you have to chop it for a while with an axe before you can smash it open.
However, when he opened the warehouse and saw that there was more food and less money inside, Han Qian was somewhat disappointed.
Stacks of sacks are piled up in the warehouse, counting thousands of large bags, and I am afraid that there are two or three hundred thousand catties of unhulled rice.
A small fishing village, in addition to saving money and grain privately, the fishermen lived by fishing, and the leader of the thieves hoarded so much rice in his own house, which made people suspect that this group of water thieves was planning to rebel.
It seems that the leader of this gang of water thieves is still a water thief with quite ideals and pursuits, not a salted fish!
At this time, there were still people trying to get closer, but they were stopped by Zhao Wuji and Gao Shao shooting arrows and hiding in the alley.
Han Qian ordered Guo Nu'er and them to set fire to all the houses in the village, and through the fire, the villagers who seemed to be old and weak, but still had a fierce posture, drove them to the periphery.
Han Qian climbed up to the roof with a ladder, and could see that there were still many twelve or thirteen-year-old teenagers, holding kitchen knives and wooden spears in the dark, like poisonous snakes ready to kill at any time.
It's a den of thieves for generations.
In addition, there were more than 200 spears, a dozen pairs of armor, 20 strong bows, 3 bags of copper coins, 50 or 60 cakes of gold, dansha, cloth, and other goods that had been looted from nowhere.
After sweeping away the three bags of copper coins, precious metals such as gold and silver, as well as good weapons such as bows and armor, Han Qian ordered to bring firewood and grass and stuff them into the warehouse, and brought two barrels of lamp oil to pour on them, intending to set fire to the warehouse and set it on fire.
In addition to some spears and silk cloth that could not be moved away, there were also two or three hundred thousand catties of grain hoarded, which was enough for the men, women and children of this fishing village to do nothing and eat for two or three years.
Tian Cheng, Gao Shao and others were infected with the epidemic and their families were infected with the epidemic and were forced to be displaced for a long time, and they were full of special feelings for food, and even if they could not take these grains and cloths away, they were reluctant to set fire to ashes.
"If it's really Ji Kun's subordinates who lure the thieves out of the hole and sneak attack their nests, do they burn it or not?" Han Qian stared at Tian Cheng and the others, who were hesitant, and asked in a suppressed voice.
Tian Cheng, Gao Shao and others were silent, thinking that if they really wanted Ji Kun's men to attack the village, even if they didn't slaughter the men, women and children in the village, they would inevitably have to consider the possibility of a counterattack after the water thieves returned to the village; Even more ruthless, when the thieves return to the village, they will lead the officers and soldiers to come over to suppress them, how can they have the possibility of forming a village and holding on?
"......" Han Qian glanced at Tian Cheng, Gao Shao and the others, took the torch from Guo Nuer's hand, threw it at the firewood and grass poured with lamp oil, and watched the flames quickly rise.
