In fact, after seeing such changes and reactions in Jiaozhou Dagang, Qu Chengyu only felt a faint sense of crisis and urgency;

On the one hand, these grass thieves, ah no, it was the strict and orderly and calm performance of the rebels in the invasion, Zhenping Port District and Fangqu, which made him secretly frightened that he had already outperformed many soldiers under the banner of officers and soldiers, and faintly had the style of the former Gao Linggong who ordered prohibitions and commanded like an arm.

Especially the pro-army of the virtual monk, which is well-organized, makes people a little shocked; Although there will be noise and noise in ordinary conditions, but when you enter the state of duty or in battle, it is calm like a reef under the waves; Faintly, people are filled with a sense of threat that they will be hit on the head, broken blood, and even broken bones.

On the other hand, these guest troops he invited had already occupied the port of Jiaozhou as scheduled, which was regarded as the initial goal of the rebel army; But if the surviving Qu clan does not reflect enough value and reciprocal role, it will be gradually marginalized and even abandoned in disguise, and it will be a matter of time.

。。。。。

In the complex smell of sweat mixed with metal and leather, and the shouting of passwords and trumpets, Zhang Dong, who was a former soldier of the Long March and now a member of the rebel army, was also busy in the sweaty crowd. In the smoke and dust in the distance, it was his former official Zhao Yinggong, who was leading a small group of righteous cavalry with spears and bows, expelling and cleaning up the eyes, ears and eyes of the thieves who gathered on the periphery.

The seriously silted outer ditch around the port was re-dug out to a waist-deep depth, and then filled the inward side to form a high and steep slope that is not easy to cross; Then Zhang Dong's team received a new task.

Then, they unfolded the bundles of ropes tied to the wooden sticks that had been transported from the car, and then forcefully struck the tips of the wooden sticks two or three steps wide towards the ground. So in an instant several staggered interception fortifications were laid out; This is the original shrunken version of the wire barricade – the rope stick barricade;

Although according to the daily practice and practice of the rebels, the strength of this thing can only be said to be better than nothing in dealing with the charge of the cavalry, but it is still effective in blocking the advance of the infantry team. With props such as bells and empty cans that can make high-pitched and piercing sounds, the nocturnal camp teams that play the role of imaginary enemies are repeatedly entangled and planted on them.

Anyway, on the battlefield, it is not required that this thing can stop the enemy for a long time, it is enough to be able to provide a warning in front of the battle and a moment of buffer space; And the life-and-death victory or defeat of the enemy may be between this momentary delay. When Zhang Dong began to hang jars and bells with fragments on these straightened ropes one by one; The horse team, which was driving out and cleaning up the threat from afar, also quickly returned under the leadership of Zhao Yinggong

And in the vast clouds of smoke and dust that followed them were many motley enemies wielding their blades; Looking at the past, there are many places all over the mountains, and there are quite a lot of them. In the midst of the whistles blowing one after another, Zhang Dong's fire was also infected by a certain orderly overall mood, and slowly retreated behind the newly constructed fortifications and temporary defense line along the deliberately left gap.

At this time, he noticed that behind the defensive line, the corresponding armor had been prepared by the opponent, as well as the fire and soup pot and other tools and materials. It's all neatly placed in a convenient location.

In fact, judging from Zhang Dong's many years of experience in guarding the border, he did not feel any need to panic about such a menacing enemy. Because the opponent's formation and queue are too scattered, and the most basic coordination is lacking, there are also various and different combat equipment; Coupled with the fact that it seems that the rebel army has already been fully prepared, and the internal and external connections are always orderly, it is even less worrying.

He drank half a tube of hot tea together, and then took half a mouthful of water in his mouth; Then they heard the whistle blow again, and they began to put on their protective gear on the spot; Zhang Dong, who put on a tight-fitting gray cloth robe again, also got a two-piece armor called pockmarked armor at the front and back; It is on the stitched leather, and I only feel that it is not much heavier than the leather armor on the body, but it has a faint smell of old patent leather.

Then, he stepped on his waist a two-foot old horizontal knife of patent leather that was about to fade, and carefully examined the sharpened edge; I picked up a pair of well-maintained wooden bows to tie the strings and tried my hand, which was relatively compact and even; Then he took out a bamboo arrow from Hulu, and compared it with two fingers to the skylight, and found that it was cut quite straight and even, round and clean, and he sighed again in his heart; Obviously, the equipment used by these grass thieves was much more attentive than most of the officers and soldiers he had ever seen.

He used the diamond-shaped arrows of blue and black wrought iron to poke hard at the corners of the pockmarked armor one by one, and found that there was still a certain protective ability, not something purely used to bluff people's peace of mind, so he sighed again. At this time, the drums and shouts suddenly began again in front of the battle, but the incoming enemies had already rushed into the range of the arrows that had been marked with the fortifications in advance.

It seemed that these formations had been completely loose and chaotic of the enemy, and they had even no intention of forming a whole formation and were not waiting to attack, like a swarm of wild shouts and screams; Then, it was attacked head-on by several rows of crossbows in front of the array; In the sound of buzzing radiation, I saw that the enemy soldiers who were running in the front row were like stumps that had been cut down or knocked over, racing to the ground and being trampled and tripped over by the rear team that could not catch up;

Then there was the rain of arrows shot by the rear team with their bows, and suddenly, like a grate, in the splash of blood and the rapid and sharp screams, it was slightly frustrated and crowded into one place, and the enemy group was filtered again, and became a little loose and chaotic.

And just after two rounds of such a face-to-face shot, the whole column of these impacts was like a slap in the face, and it was torn apart on the spot;

Then, I saw that some of them were still burying their heads and continuing to rush, some of them began to run to both sides, and some of them stopped at a loss, and collided with the people who rushed up from behind. Some people simply fell to the ground. Like the frightened pheasant, he refused to move anymore.

Seeing this, the officer who was in command had the drummer blow the sound of the transverse flute, which represented a slight adjustment of the formation, and after approaching again to superimpose a denser formation; In the sound of the old pawn's command, Zhang Dong also raised his bow upward, aligned with the left and right at a higher diagonal, and radiated out one after another. After a few breaths, a more dense and long rain of arrows swept through the rear line of the enemy who were still rushing forward, and in an instant, an exceptionally sparse gap was cleared.

Then, especially the remnants of the enemy army that were rushing forward in front of them, they also reacted like a dream to the empty and mournful behind, and under the fall of various morales, they turned and fled back; At this time, the other two groups of knives that had just returned to the outside from the port market were a little stunned to look at the back of the other party who had forgotten the dust, but it was too late to continue to do the outflanking and joint attack according to the plan and deployment.

Fortunately, the horsemen who had returned earlier had already rested; I saw them leading their mounts and trotting out of the winding trench and flying on their horses, and in a moment's acceleration and gallop were already embellished with the enemy who were retreating wildly all over the mountains, and they were so rampage that they kicked and slashed in the middle of it.

In the port area and Fangqu, the rebel soldiers who had just symbolically pacified those who went out to welcome the "fathers" and controlled many key points in the city soon showed a certain ruthless and decisive side again.

Because of the existence of these pirate captives that were defeated before, it also somewhat solved a problem that Zhou Huai'an had been considering; how to justifiably purge the local forces in Jiaozhou Port in a monkey-like manner; It is good to leave the people and things you want in a cage exchange style, so as to facilitate the long-term control of Jiaozhou Dagang after entering.

Now it is good, under the identification of the corresponding victims and pirate captives, as long as the owners and related households who used to secretly communicate with them are recovered one by one; If you carry out a certain degree of punishment in the style of the vine, you can justifiably purge the local forces in Jiaozhou Port. For example, those who have malicious and hostile feelings towards the left-behind division in Guangzhou do not need to be tolerated and tolerated

As a result, Lin Shenhe has become a witness and participant in all these changes; Under the leadership of the local influential and well-known Qu clansmen, he broke into mansions, shops, and merchants again and again with armored soldiers who were fully armed to the teeth; In the midst of all kinds of cries and shouts, or voices of forgiveness and justification, those people in robes and brocades were pulled out in waves, and they were tied up in strings and dragged down the street.

As a result, the leaders of the local underground gray forces known as the "Shadow Five" and the big and small gangs united, except for a "flower elder" who controlled the business of brothels and prostitutions and was able to abandon everything and flee alone, the other four families connected with a group of relatives and confidants, and all had their heads cut off and hung on the wooden poles erected in the port area.

Subsequently, Cao Feng, the head of the famous local Sanfeng Shrine, and his sworn brothers who were his wings, also hung themselves on the top with a dead expression. Then they were hung on the side one after another, as well as those who were known as the black and white roads across the coast of Jiaozhou on weekdays, and they were quite capable and prominent.

Most of them, who are usually majestic or swaggering, are like helpless chickens in front of the bows, crossbows, knives and guns of these serious warriors, crying or wailing like slugs, disgusting and pathetic in time.

There are also a very small number of people who want to take risks, or rise up to resist; Then he was entangled in the prepared hook net, sprinkled with white ash to charm his eyes, ears and nose, and then beat him with a big stick to make him inhuman, and then he naturally stopped

Of course, for Zhou Huai'an, who is deeply aware of outsiders, sometimes cutting through the chaos of fear and notoriety is also an effective means of spreading fame.

。。。。。。。。

In a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Guangzhou,

Pi Rixiu, who has a scruffy beard and is described as haggard and full of alcohol, also ushered in the end of what he believes in a temporary seclusion.

"It's time to hit the road."

He said with some self-deprecating relief.

"I guess I ran out of use at that time."

After all this time, he already knew what had happened to him. At first, he was just taken out without knowing how to show his face in public, and he became a well-known thief of the generation of people who took a break from it; And there are many new books under his name.

Although most of them were miscellaneous anecdotes left over from his early years, after being woven by those grass thieves with ulterior motives, they could be used to annotate and endorse those rebellious claims. At this point, he suddenly realized, but his family was framed by the desperate plan of those grass thieves and there was no way out.

After knowing this result, the spirit that he had always upheld and supported collapsed suddenly, and he became the person he is now drinking and drinking excessively.

"I don't know if it's dove wine or twisted aya."

He sucked on the remnants of the empty bottle again and continued to sigh.

"I hope to give a whole corpse to somebody."

Then he was taken to a carriage covered on all sides and drove out with a loud noise; And the carriage did not stop until the next day, and then, in a sleepy eye, Pirixiu was pushed back up and driven out of the carriage, and did not murmur to himself: "Is it here to be executed? ”

Then, he only saw a piece of vegetable grass seedlings around the earthen enclosure, swaying with the wind and a warm spring scene; During this period, there were no newly excavated pits, no slings, and no torture tables suitable for beheading, only a ditch that looked quite freshly excavated.

Is it to be tied up and buried alive, he couldn't help but think even more, he was afraid that under the cover of the day, he could still insist on this kind of calm and calm; Then he saw the military history of the escort and took out a document.

"Prisoner, you will be reformed through labor here under the supervision of the people. Atonement for the past. ”

The other party announced in a cold, emotionless voice.

"I hope you'll be able to do it yourself...

Then, suddenly, a figure swooped down from behind and hugged him tightly, and surprised him in a choked and mournful voice.

"Huro,。。 Hurou. It's great that you're okay. ”

"Wei Niang..."

Until this moment, Pi Rixiu couldn't help but be a little confused, looking at the woman in the jinghai cloth skirt dressed like a country woman.

"You... You... How did you end up here? ”

"It was the slave who invited himself to accompany Hurou."

The woman who still pounced on him tightly, as if she was afraid that she would disappear if she let go.

"Didn't the slave already swear that he would advance and retreat together with Hulang and live and die together."

"Even if you go to Jiuquan together, you have to never give up."

Looking at the woman who was crying silently on her chest and tears soaked through her clothes, Pi Rixiu didn't know what mood and language to use to express this kind of ups and downs of anxiety and sudden changes in painting style.
