Chapter 21: Victory in the First Battle
The county lieutenant saw Shi Jin and Liu Tang rushing to the ground, but the people around him were running in all directions, and his frightened souls were scattered, he had relied on the money spent by his family to buy this official position, and martial arts were not ordinary at all, where did he dare to go up and put it right?
At this time, his intestines were about to repent, he knew that Chao Gai and these people were so fierce, why did he want to grab this hot potato, wouldn't it be good to let Zhu Tong Lei Heng them?
But at this time, it was useless to regret it, after all, his duty was to go up to meet the enemy with a spear in his hand, and he kept making weak threats on his mouth: "You are so bold that you dare to kill officers and soldiers, why don't you quickly lay down your arms and surrender?" I can also say a few nice words for you... ”
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Tang's anger: "Dog officer, shut your stinky mouth, hurry up and take your head!" ”
And Shi Jin was even more too lazy to fight, he had already skipped a knife and cut it down, Liu Tang was shocked and angry, and hurriedly attacked from the side, the county lieutenant was already defeated by Shi Jin, and was forced by Shi Jin to be in a hurry, Liu Tang came over and poked him in the thigh, and immediately fell to the ground.
Liu Tang was overjoyed, and was just about to go up to take the head of the county lieutenant, but Shi Jin moved one step faster, stepped on a step and cut down the guy with a knife, and then grinned at Liu Tang: "Accept and accept, thank you Brother Liu!" ”
Liu Tang couldn't help but be extremely annoyed when he saw Shi Jin stealing the first credit, but no one else was to blame for this matter, who let himself move half a beat slower? He had to snort, venting his infinite anger on those native soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, he knocked over three or five unlucky eggs.
If the leading general is brave and good at fighting, the soldiers under his command will be extremely strong, otherwise it will be a mess of scattered sand.
And in turn, the soldier can also help the general to expand the lethality and destructive power to the greatest extent, otherwise the general can hit a few nails even if he is covered in iron?
At this time, the twenty or thirty Zhuang guests also rushed over, each waving their weapons is a mess of fighting, those local soldiers saw that the county lieutenant was killed and had no morale, only hated their parents for having two legs, at this time by these Zhuang guests took advantage of the situation to output, at least thirty or fifty were killed and injured.
Chao Gai was overjoyed, raised his arms and led the rest of the people to rush out from this direction together, at this time more than 200 local soldiers along the way have been killed and wounded nearly thirty percent, and the rest only hate that they are not fast enough, where do they dare to stop? Ye Ling and the others left Yuncheng County smoothly and went to Shijie Village.
After another half an hour, Zhu Tong and Lei Hengcai took the other two groups of people to rush over slowly, and everyone was taken aback when they saw the county lieutenant and dozens of corpses at the scene, but Zhu Tong and Lei Heng were shocked and angry on the surface, and they were actually very happy in their hearts, this county lieutenant has always been a powerful blessing on their heads, and now that they are dead, their lives are much better, and this Chao Gai and his gang escaped smoothly, everyone doesn't have to do anything, and it also saves the brother's righteous anger, after all, everyone used to have a good relationship, and they didn't take Chao Gai less." Good looking money".
Zhu Tong said deliberately: "These thieves are cruel, and they have been on the run for a long time, even if we chase them, we can't catch them, so it's better to go back and tell the county minister truthfully." ”
Seeing the experience of the county lieutenant and this passer-by-road, who still wants to fight hard, so they caught a few villagers from Dongxi Village and the villagers who did not want to go with Chao Gai Zhuang and went back to hand over the errands.
Shi Wenbin, the county magistrate, was also stunned when he heard this information, and he didn't expect Chao Gai to be so powerful, although he was a good hand in handling political affairs, civil affairs, finance, etc., but he didn't know anything about military affairs, especially after the county's highest military governor, the county lieutenant, was killed in battle, he was even more at a loss for a while.
Song Jiang was also secretly shocked when he heard the report, and at the same time secretly thought to himself, this Chao Gai and his gang did not expect to be so bold that they dared to kill the soldiers and generals of the government, how is this different from rebellion? It seems that I have to keep my distance from them in the future, otherwise I will be affected if something happens.
At the critical moment, He Tao was the first to calm down - in fact, from the perspective of his heart, he hoped that these thieves would make as much trouble as possible, so that it could be proved that the enemy was too cunning and not that he was incompetent, so he arched his hand and said: "The county minister is in a panic, before the lower official came here, the prefect and the minister had already arranged for a thief catcher and nearly a thousand officers and soldiers to come later, and he should be here within a day or two, and then the group of thieves can only be arrested even if they are arrogant." ”
Shi Wenbin nodded again and again and said: "What you have seen on the mission is extremely clear, Song Zhusi, you write a document about what happened here, and then send it to Jeju Mansion in person; Zhu Tong, you send a few people to check the traces of the thief, you must get the exact news and then report back, this matter is very important, and you two will stop working hard. ”
The old traitor and Zhu Tong are Shi Wenbin's most important right-hand men, although the two of them have their own plans in their hearts, but on the surface, they both raise their voices to receive orders, and then come down to act separately.
。。。。。。
But it was said that at this time, Ye Ling and the others had already walked dozens of miles all the way, and everyone's morale was extremely high in the first battle, and those villagers were carrying burdens and singing small songs, and their spirits were completely different.
And this battle also completely established Ye Ling's absolute core position in this team, not only himself, but even Shi Jin and Yang Zhi were faintly higher than everyone else, and the original leader Chao Gai could only rank fourth now.
But Chao Gai has no objection to this, he is actually a relatively arrogant person, and he has no scheming, otherwise he would not have been played by Song Jiang in the original plot, and finally joined forces with the people of Zeng Tou City to kill him.
And other people's hearts are even more so, the most important thing in walking the rivers and lakes is two things, first, righteousness, second, ability, Ye Ling and their gang have never known each other but have come thousands of miles to report the news, which reflects the deep righteousness; And in this battle, Shi Jin and Yang Zhi's performance also surpassed them, so they had nothing to say on these two points, except for Wu Yong who had some thoughts, Chao Gai, Liu Tang and others were already willing to serve Ye Ling as the boss.
