A "Kill!" ”

Suddenly, Chen Squinted, who was originally about to support the boat, swept towards the dart master on the side of the boat with the penny of the boat, not trying to kill the other party at all, but just to push him down the river. The other boatmen all cleaned the dart master with pennies and shook the boat vigorously.

This is what the Cao gang are good at, they may not be good at hand-to-hand combat, but they know very well how to defeat their stronger opponents on the ship, after all, they have been begging for a living on the water for generations, and naturally know how to use their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

Those who had been standing on the side of the boat would fall into the water as soon as they stood unstable, and as soon as they fell into the water, pennies and fishing forks would fall on them.

In the midst of the screams, the dart masters who accompanied the boat were constantly knocked into the water, and on the boat, they were no match for the boatmen who had lived on the boat since childhood. The dart master who fell into the water was transformed into a corpse in a few moments.

And the gangplank that would go on the boat was pulled out at some point, and Gao Chaoling was already stunned, he stood there stunned, completely unaware of what was going on.

"Master, let's go!"

Although his legs have become a little weak, Changshun still loyally wants to run away from the master, but where will he still run?

At this moment, a group of soldiers wearing cotton armor vests and holding bird guns rushed out from the reeds, and Zhao Yuanlin, who was the leader, held a Japanese knife and yelled at the dart master who was trying to resist with a knife,

"The officials and soldiers arrest and capture the puppet officials, and those who are attached to the captives will be killed!"

Just a sentence, the cold words reached the ears of those dart masters, only to make them all look at these officers and soldiers in amazement, although it is common for folk birds to kill, but like this, who else can they be except officers and soldiers who are lined up with bird guns to kill.

"Big, everyone, hurry up, put down the weapon......"

Despite the blood gushing from his chest, Li Pengyuan still squeaked and rushed to the dart master in the game.

"I, I'll wait, the dart master, break it, break it, don't dare to fight the official, the government, put down the knife ......"

As soon as he finished saying this, he tilted his head, and the person swallowed.

"Dart head!"

When the surrounding dart masters saw it, they hurriedly dropped the weapons in their hands and rushed towards Li Pengyuan, picking him up from the pool of blood, although the death of the dart head made their faces angry. But in the face of the surrounding officers and troops, no one dared to resist in the slightest.

"Why, why is this ......?"

Turning around and looking at the soldiers holding long knives and birds around in surprise, after discovering that they were the Ming army, Gao Chaoling asked in disbelief,

"Why?"

Just when he asked these words, Shi Lei, who was expressionless, walked out slowly, when he was in danger before, he naturally retreated, but now that it is safe, he naturally walked out.

"Because you are abusing the prisoners! Because you are a Han and forget your ancestors! Because I have my own laws! ”

Shi Lei's face was full of righteous and awe-inspiring expressions.

"No, no, you obviously promised me......"

Without waiting for Gao Chao's words to finish, Shi Lei pulled out his waist knife from the waist of the soldier next to him with his backhand, and slashed at him with a backhand.

The hand rises and the knife falls, and the head falls to the ground!

When the knife fell, the headless corpse immediately spurted blood and staggered and fell, and the corpse with a different head only scared Changshun next to him even more stupidly. His mouth muttered words that only he knew.

"Judge General, what about these servants of the Gao family?"

As soon as Zhao Yuanlin's words fell, Shi Lei shouted coldly.

"Can such evil slaves spare their lives? Kill! ”

In the midst of a few screams, the servants of the Gao family were beheaded one by one despite their pleading, and the corpses were lying on the ground like this, and the smell of blood was even more overwhelming.

Shi Lei, whose face was expressionless, scanned the bodies of those dart masters, as if he was thinking about whether to kill these people or not.

For Shi Lei, he didn't care at all about killing so many people, what he was thinking about now was killing these people, would it be good for him?

"Generals, generals, me, and we are all good citizens......"

The dart master, who was still full of indignation, looked at the scene in front of him, looked at the corpses all over the ground, and looked at the general who led the troops with a pensive look? There was a chill in my heart, and I dared to have the slightest dissatisfaction, so I hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"No, I have never fought against the officers and soldiers, and I also ask the general to spare our crimes......"

The dart masters in these darts games may all be brave men, but they will never dare to compete with the army, except that they are not opponents of the army. More importantly, the fear of officials in his bones.

At this moment, when I saw this general, it seemed that he was thinking about whether to kill them or not. In a panic, they all kowtowed one after another and begged for mercy.

"Hmmm......"

Shi Lei nodded slightly, at least for a moment, he wanted to kill these people, but after thinking about it, this is not a bandit robbery, why kill people, and this news is only good for the military gate. So he said in a deep voice.

"This high court order, serving the captives with his body, the crime is unforgivable, and not killing is not enough to correct the law of the country! The evil servants under his door are also acting for the tiger, and if they don't kill, it is not enough to justify the anger of the people! You are all the people of my Ming Dynasty, how can this official hurt my good people? ”

When the righteous and strict words came out of Shi Lei's mouth, those dart masters were all so frightened that they didn't dare to speak, and they didn't even dare to take a breath. It wasn't until Shi Lei ordered him to leave that they hurriedly carried the body of the dart master onto the dart cart, and then left in a hurry, ignoring the body of the dart master in the river in a panic.

"Judge General, what are you going to do with the things on this ship now?"

Zhao Yuanlin looked at the military judge general and asked:

"From the canal, transport it back to Yangzhou City, and when the brothers from the reserve battalion from Jiangyin arrive, they will be sent to Qinghe together!"

In these years, Shi Lei did not dare to hold it up, after all, the million taels of silver on this ship are the foundation of the military training in Jiangbei in the future!

"To Yangzhou?"

Looking at the military judge in surprise, Zhao Yuanlin hurriedly said.

"Judge General, it has not yet been decided whether Zhang Biaotong will take Yangzhou, will it be too risky to go directly to Yangzhou?"

Zhao Yuanlin's rhetorical question made Shi Lei sneer.

"If he Zhang Xiaojie can't win Yangzhou like this, he will also be the end of this standard! Boat, go to Yangzhou! ”

The city gate in Yangzhou City opened, and Zhang Xiaojie, who was riding on horseback, looked coldly at the master of the salt transportation envoy Yamen who was with him, and Zhao Pingyue respectfully rode a little donkey to follow him. Occasionally, he would set his eyes on the silver carts around him, and these silver were not sent to Fengyang by General Zhang's side as he imagined, but were directly brought into the city by him, and then looked at the large group of people behind him, especially the five hundred elite in armor, I am afraid that even the Manchurian soldiers are nothing more than that!

Looking at the lazy salt under the command of Sun Erfu in the city gate cave, he couldn't even stand up straight, this kind of salt Ding could only scare ordinary people, and then looked at the general next to him and the "elite of the green battalion" under his command, Zhao Pingyue seemed to understand, how could the Qing Dynasty win the world, the green camp is still like this, in the legend, the invincible elite of the Eight Banners is not as good as the heavenly soldiers? At the same time, he secretly thought in his heart, maybe, this Yangzhou can really be saved!

If Yangzhou can be saved, then why do you need to flee to other places? It's good that you can at least keep your current position.

After seeing the reinforcements, especially when he saw those armored soldiers, Sun Erfu, who had already breathed a sigh of relief, saw Zhang Xiaojie's arrival and hurriedly knelt down and bowed.

"The last general patrols the salt and sends the general Sun Erfu to meet the general!"

Zhang Xiaojie, who was wearing a suit of armor, suddenly jumped off his horse and said with a smile.

"Brother Sun, we're meeting again."

See you again?

We know each other?

Sun Erfu, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up at Zhang Xiaojie in surprise.

"You are?"

The confused Sun Erfu didn't recognize who this person was.

"Five years ago, it was in Yangzhou, Zhang's boat was only carrying a few bags of salt, and Brother Sun ordered his salt to be full of Zhang's fifty boards! Heaven is impermanent, this time you can fall into the hands of Zhang! ”

Zhang Xiaojie had a smile on his face, but that smile made people shudder. There was a sneer and a little smugness, and there was an expression of wanting revenge.

"Ahh This, this, how is this possible......"

Sun Erfu looked at Zhang Xiaojie in horror, while Zhao Pingyue and the surrounding Yanding looked at Zhang Xiaojie in shock. They didn't expect that this reinforcement would be the enemy. What's a good thing about that?

"General, you, your lordship, a lot of ......"

Although he couldn't remember who this person was, or even remembered it, Sun Erfu still kept kowtowing.

Looking at Sun Erfu, who was crying and begging for mercy, Zhao Pingyue hurriedly said on the side,

"General, general, look down, the enemy is pressing the border, and the general is still ......"

The old grievances in the past, how can they hinder the current city defense events.

"Or how?"

"General, now that the enemy is present, please also ask the general to put state affairs first, as for the grievances of the past, Mr. Sun will naturally come to the door to apologize!"

"Apologize? It's late! ”

Zhang Xiaojie didn't mean to give the other party a face at all, but said coldly.

"Sun Erfu, as an official of the imperial court, you don't know how to train soldiers, but you spend your days exploiting past merchants, so that the salt is scattered, and it is completely unusable, so how can you resist the enemy? If I don't kill you, how can I be a soldier? Someone, cut him down! ”

Hearing this, Sun Erfu couldn't believe his ears, and his heart was even more remorseful, and when he saw that he couldn't save his life, he even used his last strength to scold.

"The surname is Zhang, Lao Tzu should have killed you bastard in the first place!"

Although I can't remember who this person is for a long time. But he doesn't know how much he has done this kind of thing, how can he have the slightest suspicion, although he shouts in his mouth, but he doesn't dare to make the slightest move, after all, the official position of this person in front of him is much higher than him. After all, he is playing in the name of military law. Even the salt on the side didn't dare to act rashly, and when the gods fought, they didn't even have time to hide.

"Ka!"

When Sun Erfu's head was cut off, the blood sprayed a few feet, which only made Zhao Pingyue and the others all nauseous, and those salt patrol officials all knelt down and kept kowtowing.

"General, you have a lot of bosses, so let go of the small ones...... The little ones shouldn't have been, they shouldn't, they shouldn't have ......."

Without waiting for them to beg for mercy, Zhang Xiaojie sneered.

"Now he knows how to beg for mercy? It's late. ”

Then he looked at him and said coldly.

"You wait to deduct the army's salary, so that the Yanding army is dissatisfied, if you don't kill you, how can you calm the army's heart! Kill them all! ”

Zhang Xiaojie just waved his hand casually, and immediately a few armored soldiers walked over, and directly drew their knives and beheaded the dozen or so salt patrol officers.

In just a moment, the official of Yangzhou Salt and Salt Ding was killed, and even they didn't dare to resist in the slightest, after all, this person in front of him represented the law of the imperial court, and of course, more importantly, there were 3,000 people behind him. Everyone knows what will happen if they resist. After all, these green battalion soldiers, let alone killing, are slaughtering the city, and they are also familiar with it.

The blood gushing out of more than a dozen corpses with different heads stained the entire city gate cave red, and for a while, the city gate hole was filled with the smell of blood, Zhao Pingyue's frightened legs were weak, and those salt Ding were also standing there trembling, for fear that the general would be unhappy and order them to be killed.

"General, the general kills well, don't kill, can't be canonically punished, don't kill, can't establish military prestige, yes, there are generals, I, I Yangzhou is worry-free......"

Although his legs were trembling, Zhao Pingyue was still patting his ass, he was really scared at this moment, and seemed to understand why the green battalion soldiers were also unstoppable, and they didn't have any scruples about killing people.

Zhang Xiaojie just looked invisible to other people's sycophants, and then asked people to recruit Yanding to the city gate, so that they lined up to review, and the city, those who were frightened and did not dare to come out of the Yanding naturally did not dare to disobey in the slightest. Even the people nearby were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out. Likewise did not dare to move.

Zhang Xiaojie, who knew that Yangzhou City had been captured, just sneered secretly, these individuals, the fear of the Qing army has reached the bones, it is no wonder, after all, this Yangzhou City once let the Qing army kill hundreds of thousands of people!

That was just a decade ago.

And Zhang Xiaojie, who had already entered the city, turned his head and smiled at the Yangzhou prefect and county who rushed over after hearing the sound.

"Come, two, open the gates."

Seeing their puzzled appearances, Zhang Xiaojie smiled:

"Do you really think Lao Tzu is a Qing captive? Lao Tzu is Zhang Xiaojie, the third standard commander of the Ming Loyal and Righteous Army! This Yangzhou city is back to the Ming Dynasty! ”

Return to the Ming Dynasty!

Those salt dings, the people, when they listened to this person's words, all of them looked a little dazed.

What's going on?

But after a while, Yanding, who was still worried about his life, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, their lives were saved.

An old man nearby, who had the courage to come from nowhere, walked to the city gate and asked a little nervously, but also a little expectantly

"General, the general is a general of the Ming Dynasty?"
