Chapter 316: Two Levels of Enemy Relations
After standing on the high platform, he raised his long sword in his hand, and the people in the front row of onlookers saw his figure, and the scene gradually quieted down.
"Folks, these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, in the fish and meat township, act recklessly, and do all kinds of bad things on weekdays, but because there are thugs and minions in their hands, we have bitter words, and there is hatred that is difficult to eliminate, but everyone knows that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and today is their retribution!" Yang Congyi raised his sword and shouted, and the sound shook for a mile.
On the street in front of the yamen, there was only Yang Congyi's voice for a while, and the people heard this voice and completely quieted down, but most of them couldn't understand what was said.
The shopkeeper of the rice shop stood up in front of the people and immediately explained the meaning of Yang Congyi's words loudly to the onlookers in the local language.
After understanding, the crowd instantly boiled, jumping or shouting, screaming and laughing, and for a while, they were extremely excited.
After a while, several voices appeared among the onlookers, and after a few moments, a voice was formed, one voice, loud and neat, and their voices could be heard throughout Liangshan.
Although he couldn't understand it, Yang Congyi saw their excited expressions and knew what they were shouting.
immediately said loudly: "The heavenly army kills corrupt officials, and Liangshan has a new look." Kill! ”
When the sound of killing came out, two soldiers of the Xuanwei Army dragged an official onto the high platform and knelt in front of the people, and then a soldier appeared beside the official with a long knife in his hand.
"Kill!"
Yang Congyi gave an order, and the long knife in the soldier's hand was raised, and he swung it downward, blood splashed, and a human head rolled down the stage.
Suddenly another voice erupted in the crowd, celebrating the retribution of the wicked.
Before the people could cry, another official was dragged to a high platform and fell to his knees.
"Kill!"
With a swing of the knife, blood splattered seven feet, the head fell to the ground, and the people cheered.
Then another one was dragged up.
In less than a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen corrupt officials were beheaded on a high platform in front of the people of the city.
"Folks, the wicked people in the city have been killed, but there are still many wicked people outside the city, they are all the companions of these wicked people, and they will come to take revenge immediately, and the villagers should not go out of the city for the time being, so as not to lose their lives outside the city. Folks, go home! "All the things that should be killed have been killed, the people should also go back, and there are many things to come, Yang Congyi immediately persuaded them to leave.
The shopkeeper of the rice shop explained loudly to the onlookers, and everyone gradually left reluctantly, but there were still many people who stayed on the street, watching the excitement from afar.
The corpses at the entrance of the government were quickly cleaned up, and their relatives were all taken care of.
A performance of killing corrupt officials ended in less than half an hour, but the psychological shock and discussion caused by this performance will continue for a long time in the days to come.
Half a day later, the government announced the news of recruiting 1,000 people to go out of the city to carry grain and grass, and the reward for carrying a load of grain for ten miles was five catties of grain.
Five catties of grain, save some, enough for an old snack for several days.
As soon as the news came out, the entrance of the government was surrounded.
Yao Chang was assigned to be responsible for the transportation of grain and grass in the west pass of the city, and the shopkeeper of the rice shop assisted him in selecting the people who came to enlist, and in less than an hour, he selected 2,000 people, 200 people as a team, divided into ten teams, led by the ten teams of Xuanwei Army, and after rectifying the formation, he immediately went out of the city from the west gate, crossed the river and went towards the south pass.
After more than half an hour, Yao Chang led more than 2,000 people to the pass where Yuan Hua and Liu Shi were stationed.
As soon as he got closer, he saw the Xuanwei army carrying grain and grass and cleaning up the dead bodies. It seems that not long ago, they did another batch of Li Yue people who transported grain and grass.
Everyone didn't care about greeting each other, Yuan Hua said: "Brother Yao, you are here, these thousands of loads of grain are moved away quickly, if you don't move away, there will be no one living in this pass, and we still have to kill the enemy." ”
Yao Chang said: "How many batches have you done?" ”
Yuan Hua said with a smile: "Not much, the sixth batch is only, at least one batch a day, and when there are many batches, two or three hundred people at a time." Don't say it, get the food away. ”
Yao Chang didn't say anything more, and immediately led people into the customs to carry grain.
One bag for one person, carry it and leave, two thousand people and two thousand bags and two thousand quintals, and after an hour, the customs are empty, and the remaining grain is less than a thousand quintals.
The Xuanwei army in the pass also buried the body of Li Yueren in the barren hill of the pass, cleaned up the inside and outside, and waited for the next batch of grain transportation teams to enter the pass again.
Under the care of Xuanwei Army, the grain transport team successfully crossed the river and returned to Liangshan before the sun set, and after all the grain was piled up into the granary, they received five catties of grain at the gate of the government in turn.
The next day, the grain transport team went to the west pass of the city again, and once again transported back 2,000 quintals of grain.
At the same time, Yao Chang brought back a piece of news that he suspected that Li Yueren might have known that Liangshan was not in their hands.
Yang Congyi was not surprised by this news, if so many days had passed, Li Yueren still did not notice that Liangshan and the two passes were occupied by the Great Song army, it would be strange.
So he immediately ordered Yuan Hua and Liu Shi: "Immediately close the pass, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and the grain transportation team will all stop outside the pass, and make every effort to hold the pass, and there must be no mistakes!" ”
The heralds galloped out of the city and went straight to the southern pass to give the order.
Half an hour later, the herald arrived at the pass and conveyed Yang Congyi's military order to Yuan Hua and Liu Shi.
Although the two were a little reluctant, after all, they had made a lot of gains these days, and if the pass was completely closed, it would not be so easy to kill the enemy again.
When he was struggling, the spies came to report that there was another team of grain and grass transportation teams ahead, less than three miles away from the pass, and the number of people was about 300.
"How about Brother Liu, kill again?" As soon as Yuan Hua heard the news of the grain and grass transportation team, he suddenly rose.
Liu Shi's brows jumped, and after a little thought, he said: "It's better to listen to the orders of the prison army, I've killed enough these days, after the brothers kill the enemy army, they still have to move food, dig pits and bury people, and there is almost no rest, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold on." Besides, we have all taken Liangshan and this pass for seven or eight days, and no matter how tightly the news is blocked, no one has been released from here, and the enemy should be suspicious. There are few of us, and we are surrounded by them in front and back, so it is better to be careful. Shut the door and shut up. ”
"Brother Liu, after a few battles, how did you become less courageous, just three hundred people, isn't it just a blink of an eye to solve them." Yuan Hua was a little dissatisfied with Liu Shi's overly cautious appearance.
They came to Qinzhou, delayed too much time in Anyuan County, failed to win many feats like Su Zhong, Pan Cheng and others, and the task of attacking Da Nan Pass was not their turn, they didn't want to come to this pass, but they killed nearly 3,000 enemies one after another, and the opportunity was rare, so he naturally wanted to further kill the enemy army and win by killing the enemy.
"Brother Yuan, our task was originally to guard the pass, if we lose the pass because of greed, let alone merit, I'm afraid that even our lives will be lost. You don't want to think about where we are, in front of Li Yue's land, behind is Liangshan, and then behind is Li Yue's enemy army occupied by Yulin, and there are 50,000 enemy troops who will return immediately, once this pass is lost, the enemy army will immediately go north to surround Liangshan City, and then we will not flee back to Qinzhou, we will have to die in Liangshan, which is what you want to see? Liu Shi's face became very serious, he is also a person who has been in the army for seven or eight years, and he can more or less understand the current situation.
After Liu Shi finished speaking, Yuan Hua gradually calmed down, and after thinking for a while, he reluctantly ordered: "Close the door tightly, no one is allowed to enter or exit!" ”
The pass was immediately closed, and the door more than a foot thick was closed, and there was no door attacking equipment, and it was impossible to break open from the outside in a short time.
A few quarters of an hour later, Li Yueren's grain convoy appeared outside the pass, no matter how they knocked on the door and shouted, the Xuanwei army did not say anything and ignored it.
Half an hour later, an enemy army appeared in the sight of the Xuanwei army, and the soldiers hiding in Guanshan immediately went down to report the enemy's situation.
"My lord, an enemy army has been found outside the gate, and the number is at least more than 1,000."
When Yuan Hua and Liu Shi learned the news, they secretly rejoiced.
"Brother Liu, should we shoot this group of convoys outside the gate first?" Yuan Hua was a little excited.
Liu Shi shook his head: "If you don't kill, what are you going to do with them, our strength has not been exposed, wait for the main force of the enemy to come up, and then suddenly attack and kill and injure the main force of the enemy, in order to reduce the pressure on the pass." Besides, if there are a few more people outside the border, they will consume one more ration, and I think they should be the most short of food now. ”
"Brother Liu is right. Let's go up to town and have a look. After Yuan Hua finished speaking, he turned around and went to the city.
The enemy army in Guannan is constantly spreading, and there are no less than 2,000 people in sight, how large this enemy army is, Yuan Hua and Liu Shi can't guess.
"Give Liangshan the enemy's information." Liu Shi's brows furrowed.
"Brother Liu thinks we can't hold it?" Yuan Hua's expression was not easy.
"Of course, two thousand or three thousand is no problem, but if five thousand and eight thousand enemy troops attack, we only have one thousand people, and we will not be able to hold out for a few days." The front of the enemy army is already approaching the pass twenty or thirty zhang, and the enemy troops in the field of vision are still emerging, roughly estimated to have reached four or five thousand people, how can Liu Shi not worry.
"Okay, then let's report the enemy." Yuan Hua immediately called the herald.
At this moment, the atmosphere in Liangshan City was tense, because not long ago, there was an enemy situation in the direction of Da Nan Pass.
Su Zhong sent news that the spies had come to report that the enemy army in Yulin City was about to move, and it was expected that there would be a big move in the short term, and it was likely that they would go out and go south to capture Da Nan Pass.
That's not good news!
The enemy army in Yulin dared to go out, which means that the Youyi army has not yet entered the range of the enemy's sentinel at this time, could it be that after so many days, they have not yet reached Tongmian? Or did they have no interest in taking Yulin at all, so they didn't go north?
If this is the case, the Xuanwei army will face great danger.
The enemy army in Yulin can easily go south and recapture the Great South Pass, while the enemy army retreating from Fusui can be divided into two routes, one to Yulin, and the other to Tongmian and Tongzhong, and the Xuanwei army will fall into a desperate situation.
Just when Yang Congyi was anxious, the military situation of Yuan Hua and Liu Shi arrived: Li Yue's army had arrived in front of the pass, and the number exceeded 5,000.
Hearing this news, Yang Congyi lost his mind for a while and was speechless for a long time.
