Chapter 4: Red Dust (Part 4)
Chapter 4: Red Dust (Part 4)
At this moment, Zhang Jin's main camp is even more chaotic! Almost everywhere in the fields was on fire, and the black, thick smoke and smell of blood smoked the whole sky to lose its color. "Mountain", "Forest", "Swawa", "Wind"...... Almost every camp was lined with a large number of minions, wielding weapons and fighting indiscriminately. Some of the minions clearly belonged to the same village owner, and they also raised their knives in confusion. Juluze was burning and bleeding, as if hell had moved to the world, as if he wanted to pay off the accumulated sins in one day.
Seeing Cheng Mingzhen and others running over, the movements of the two sides fighting in front of the camp immediately began to slow down. They can't tell whether the newcomer is an enemy or a friend, they are all waiting for the newcomer to show his attitude! When Cheng Mingzhen and Du Juan took the brothers away without stopping, they didn't ask why, they shouted and raised their knives, and the "jingle bell" was a ball.
"Which side is Lord Lingzun on!" With no time to care about who was fighting with whom in the camp, Cheng Mingzhen went straight to the topic he needed most.
"He and Uncle Zhang have been brothers for many years!" The cuckoo raised his eyebrows and emphasized in a low voice. But the dodgy gaze revealed the panic in her heart. It is true that his father is Zhang Jin's old brother, but Sun Anzu and Zhang Jin are also old brothers! However, after a drinking banquet, Sun Anzu became a villain and a traitor who colluded with the court. And from then on, the entire Juluze was honored by Zhang Jin, and it seemed that everyone had forgotten that Sun Anzu had once set up camp here.
"How has Ling Zun been walking around with Zhang Da recently? Have I ever mentioned to you that Sun Da is in charge! Cheng Mingzhen knew that it would be impossible to get an accurate answer from the cuckoo's mouth if he continued to ask like this, so he had to frown and change his statement.
"They often get drunk together!" The cuckoo hesitated for a moment, then whispered again. "I didn't say it, my grandfather never mentioned Sun Da in charge!" The second half of the question, she can give a definite answer. She knew why Cheng Mingzhen asked this. Today's rebels are fighting under the banner of avenging Sun Da's family. If his father didn't mention Sun Da as the master, it would almost prove that there was no estrangement between him and Zhang Jincheng.
"Old Master Du definitely didn't rebel!" Without waiting for Cheng Mingzhen to speak, following behind Du Juan, a small leader with a bloody face rushed to draw a conclusion. "I just saw Du Lao and Zhang Da standing together, escorted by many brothers to the depths of the camp......
"Where did you see it, and who else?!" Cheng Mingzhen was overjoyed, pulled the little leader over, and asked loudly.
"Also, it's not clear that there are still small ones, there was chaos at that time, and the small ones could only flee with everyone." The small boss searched the intestines and scraped his stomach, but the information he could provide was very limited. Seeing the disappointment on Cheng Mingzhen's face, he gritted his teeth and suggested loudly, "Anyway, looking at the way it was at the time, Zhang Da must have been prepared." Although the rebellion is strong, it may not be able to become a climate! Even if they can become a climate, as long as you and the Seven Masters master the Jinzi Camp, they can also change the Du Lao Masters to come out alive! Back then, Zhang was in charge of the family and his grandson was in charge, isn't it the same, and then the living people shook hands and made peace, as if nothing had happened! ”
His words were direct, but they were not unreasonable. Cheng Mingzhen and Du Juan nodded helplessly. The two continued to lead everyone to the "brocade" battalion station. Suddenly, the cuckoo seemed to remember something, grabbed the little leader who gave him ideas, and asked in a low voice, "What is your name, and under which master?"
"The little one's name is Han Shiwang, and he originally followed the six masters, but what the six masters did today, the little one really didn't know!" The leader of the minions was taken aback by the cuckoo's sudden enthusiasm, and hurriedly confessed to himself loudly. "I really don't know, I just came to watch the excitement today, and I didn't even bring a weapon!"
It's okay not to distinguish, but to distinguish, it reveals that what he just said is not true. The seventh master cuckoo clasped his left hand, grabbed Han Shiwang's wrist, and the horizontal knife in his right hand was directly on this person's neck, "Your surname is Han, who are you Han Jianhong, the sixth master?" What did the six masters do, did you see clearly who was making trouble just now! ”
"Oops, oops, little, little said. Seven masters, seven masters let go! Han Shiwang was in pain and fear, and tears flowed out of his nose and tears.
"Say as you go, don't expect anyone to save you!" The cuckoo let go of his left hand, but the blade was still pressed against Han Shiwang's neck, and he asked sharply while pushing him to run with small steps.
"Small, small!" Han Shiwang was forced to do so, so he had to tell the truth, "The little one really didn't participate in the rebellion, otherwise the little one would have a hundred guts, and he wouldn't dare to run out with the seven masters." The small, although the small one is surnamed Han, is not treated by the six masters. He thinks that he is too small to have the guts, and he is ashamed of the surname Han! The little one, the little one just saw that the six masters and the five masters were fighting, and the cronies of the six masters were still protecting Yang Gongqing's bastard! ”
"Impossible! Uncle Sixth is not that kind of person! The cuckoo pushed Han Shiwang hard and pushed him to a stumbling point. She believed that the other party did not participate in the rebellion, otherwise she would definitely not be hunted down by the rebels. But the news that the six masters took the lead in rebellion and cooperated with Yang Gongqing made it difficult for her to accept it for a while. In his memory, although Han Jianhong, the sixth master, treats people coldly, he is a very decent village owner. He is not greedy for money, he is not lustful, and he is very kind to his subordinates. How could such a rare good person be mixed up with Yang Gongqing and Liu Zhaoan? They are not all the way to the goods, and it is impossible for them to get along!
"Was Han Dangjia also familiar with Sun Dangjia back then?!" As an outsider, Cheng Mingzhen's mind at the moment is far clearer than Du Juan. If he is also familiar with Sun Dangjia, this matter is not difficult to understand. Zhang Da is the first year of junior high school, so it's no wonder that others do fifteen! ”
The cuckoo shook his head slightly, and tears welled up in his eyes. In that year, Zhang Da was in charge of the family and lost Sun Da's family, and won the dominant position of Julu Ze in one fell swoop. Therefore, Han Liu's family and Liu Ba's family wanted to take advantage of the failure of this attack and the prestige of Zhang Da's family to repeat the story of the year. This is a bandit, no wonder Cheng Mingzhen always looks down on everyone. These things that everyone has done really can't be looked down upon by outsiders!
"It's okay, no matter who rebels, we will definitely be able to save your father!" Cheng Mingzhen couldn't guess why Du Juan was crying, thinking that she was worried about Du Scar, so he lowered his voice and comforted gently.
It was the first time he was treated so gently, and the cuckoo's tears couldn't be stopped. While running, he choked up and responded, "Grandpa, Grandpa......." ”
Suddenly, she stretched out her arm and bit herself hard. The sadness in my heart was immediately replaced by pain, and all grievances disappeared without a trace. With teary eyes in his eyes, the jade-faced Rakshasa cuckoo swore loudly, "I will take someone back in a while, no matter who rebels, I will not let him go!" ”
"This is the usual seven-in-command!" Cheng Mingzhen stretched out his arm and patted the cuckoo's back gently. The woman's back stiffened visibly, and then softened again, as soft as a spring willow. The two of them smiled at each other again, and raised their heads, facing the smoke and fire in the field.
In the midst of the chaos, the location of the Jinzi Battalion looked extremely unusual. Although a group of unknown people tried to storm inside to cause chaos, the hall master who was guarding the camp followed Cuckoo's order and closed the door of the village. This strategy of defending against danger happened to be crooked, and although it could not provide any support to Zhang Jin's main camp, it did not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of.
"Kill them all!" Seeing that someone dared to spread wild at the gate of his camp, the cuckoo's anger immediately found an outlet. Ignoring Cheng Mingzhen's obstruction, he grabbed a horizontal knife and rushed into the attacker's team like a madman.
One brigade leader hesitated to order the cuckoo to be cut down. It was this moment of hesitation that killed him, and the jade-faced rakshasa raised his knife and slashed his neck into two ends. The blood "whirred" into the sky, staining the cuckoo's eyes red. With red-eyed eyes, the cuckoo pounced on the next minion. The knife was like lightning, first slashing the opponent's shoulder, and then going all the way down the shoulder socket, splitting the collarbone, chest cavity, and ribs, and breaking into two with a "rattling".
"Take her!" In the midst of the chaos, someone finally shouted. They flocked to the top with weapons, but they were obviously taboo and didn't dare to really greet the cuckoo's vital point. In an instant, he was beaten by the cuckoo, and he was in chaos. When they finally made up their minds, Cheng Mingzhen had already led the group of brothers to rush to the side of the cuckoo. The two sides showed their skills and sacrificed their lives to fight, and soon divided the winners and losers.
The people rescued by Cheng Mingzhen and Du Juan are all small leaders of each battalion, and their martial arts and physique are already stronger than ordinary minions. Although the number of this team is not as large as that of the chaotic army, it is much stronger than the other party in terms of command and cooperation. All these factors combined and the situation began to develop to one side. Soon, the brothers inside the Jinzi camp also found out that their immediate superiors were being besieged, opened the gate of the village, and shouted to kill them. The two teams should be united inside and outside, and the half-pillar incense is not enough, and the enemy who will commit the crime has been killed cleanly.
"Zhou Fan, what's the situation inside?" The bloodied cuckoo stretched out his hand and pulled one of the hall masters under his command and asked loudly.
The hall master was also very capable, and immediately hugged his fists and replied loudly: "Seven masters, just now a few bastards took the opportunity to incite trouble in the camp, and they were all arrested by their subordinates. Our "brocade" camp is very quiet now, and everyone is waiting for you to come back and preside over the overall situation! ”
"Order, the brothers of Jinlin, Jinyun, and Jinshan three halls will go out of the camp and line up." In front of his brothers, no matter how bitter the cuckoo is, he must pretend to be steely. "The herald, the brothers of Jinfeng Hall, as well as the female soldiers of Jinxia Tang, stay in the main village. Open all the traps and don't let anyone in. ”
"Yes!" The hall master who was called Zhou Fan agreed, and immediately sent his own soldiers into the village to give orders. After a while, Jinyun Hall Master Wang Fei and Jinshan Hall Hall Zhu Jin both ran out with their respective subordinates. Seeing that his immediate boss Du Juan was safe and sound, the minions were demoralized and shouted with their weapons one after another, asking Du Juan to show them the direction of attack.
"Yang Gongqing, a thief from Yanshan, and the white-eyed wolf king from Nei Huang are two people, and they want to murder our big boss!" The cuckoo was not ambiguous, straightened his clothes, and stood in front of everyone and announced loudly.
"Kill them, kill them!" When the minions heard that it was an outsider who was in trouble, their spirits became even more full, and the shouts resounded across the lake.
"There are black-hearted thieves who collude with outsiders and try to hand over the entire Juyeze to those surnamed Yang and Wang!" Du Juan deliberately did not mention the names of the sixth master, Han Jianhong, and the eighth master, Liu Zhaoan, and continued to incite his subordinates.
The effect of incitement was almost immediate, although Juluze was just a bandit's den, but when the bandits did not go out to rob, they also reclaimed a lot of wasteland and built a lot of thatched houses. It's fair to say that they've made it their new home. If the rebels just want to seize Zhang Jincheng's position, everyone may not be able to share the same hatred. But since the rebels have colluded with Yang Gongqing and Wang Dangren, the white-eyed wolves who have eaten everyone's food for half a year, don't blame everyone for being unkind to him.
Cautiously glancing in the direction of Cheng Mingzhen, Du Juan didn't see any unhappiness on the other party's face. This made her more confident, and she pointed to the camp closest to the Jinzi camp with the tip of her knife, and said loudly, "That is the camp of the Five Masters, and the traitors are colluding with outsiders to block the door and prevent the brothers under the command of the Five Masters from coming out to put out the fire. Come with me and kill all the traitors, and don't let them continue to spoil us."
"Order!" The minions agreed, and they ran towards the "Lin" camp in groups. Du Juan nodded and called a few henchmen on horseback, ordered them to give up a mount to himself and Cheng Mingzhen, and then ordered someone to climb up to the gate of the village, pull down the banner of the word "brocade", and raise it high with his own hands.
Although the number of 3,000 brothers who were temporarily pulled up was not much, it was already the most complete team at the moment. While walking, Du Juan gave orders to adjust the formation and troop arrangement according to Cheng Mingzhen's suggestion, and when he walked near the Lin Zi camp, the attack order had been arranged.
The number of minions who surrounded the "Lin" battalion was originally small, and it was entirely due to the lack of organization of the people inside that they had the upper hand. Charged from the flanks by the Cuckoo Overseers, they were crushed in the blink of an eye. After cleaning up the traitors on the periphery of the "Lin" camp, while waving the big flag in his hand, the cuckoo shouted at the panicked minions in the camp: "Hao Dangjia is my master, he was trapped in the main camp of Zhang Dadang's house by Yang Gongqing and Wang Dangren, and I, as an apprentice, have no ability, but I can't watch my master being chased and killed." And if there is a man among you, he shall follow with his weapons. If you're not a man, hide under the covers, don't come out and be embarrassed, and don't think about getting in the way! Otherwise, I will recognize you, but the knife in my hand will not recognize you! ”
"Willing to follow the Seven masters!" The brothers in the camp of the word "Lin" were unable to find the backbone, and when they heard the cuckoo say this, they were willing to retreat. Moreover, the fifth master Hao Laodao accepted the seventh master cuckoo as an apprentice, everyone had seen it with their own eyes. Master and apprentice are like father and son, no matter how brutal and evil the seven masters are, I believe she will not poison her master.
If so, there will be more than 1,000 minions under the command of the cuckoo, and there are more than 300 cavalrymen among them. According to Cheng Mingzhen's suggestion, she organized the cavalry into a separate brigade, led by Zhang Zhupi, the fierce general of the "Lin" battalion, and put it by her side as a reserve. The other 3,000 minions were divided into three parts: the left flank, the center army, and the right flank, lined up in formation, and moved to the next camp with great fanfare.
The array of more than 3,500 people is already very impressive. Immediately adjacent to the "Lin" word camp is the "Fang" word camp of Han Jianhong, the sixth master, and the camp gate is closed. Most of the brothers inside were dragged out by Han Jianhong, the sixth master, to attack Zhang Jincheng's main camp, and only some of the old, weak, sick and disabled were left behind. As soon as the cuckoo frowned, he wanted to go around the village. Cheng Mingzhen suggested in a low voice, "Attack in, set all the things that can be lit inside, and mess up the military heart of Han Lao Liu!" “
For his level of planning, Du Juan has always admired it. He didn't even hesitate, and immediately passed the order down. At this moment, even if the brothers in the two camps of "Jin" and "Lin" regretted it, there was no way out. I had no choice but to rush forward and carry the temporarily dismantled wood to hit the gate.
The morale of the minions inside was not high, and they were forced by the cuckoo to wield their troops, and they were even more in a hurry. In less than half a pillar of incense, the gate of the village was slammed down. Han Shiwang, who was familiar with the way, personally led a team of warriors to rush in, holding torches to count the houses and reeds of the camp with the word "Fang". In an instant, the fire in the camp with the word "Fang" rose into the sky, suppressing the momentum of all the smoke and dust nearby.
This time, without waiting for the cuckoo to continue waving his division and turning to the next camp, a group of minions with the "leopard" banner took the initiative to rush over. The two sides fought, and the cuckoo first ordered the army to retreat, and the two wings did not move, and then suddenly blew the horn, releasing all the 300 cavalry that were ready to attack. The minions of the "Leopard" battalion who came in a hurry were caught off guard, and were directly killed by Zhang Zhupi and the brothers. The minions of the second battalion of "Wind" and "Lin", which remained on the two wings, took the opportunity to kill them, divided them by two, and cut down their counterparts in the "Leopard" battalion who dared to resist.
Without Cheng Mingzhen's guidance, Du Juan led the brothers to follow the footsteps of the remnants and rushed into the "Leopard" camp, and set up countless fires in the camp. She hates Liu Zhaoan, the eight-master master, not only because this person is always pestering her. She also hated this person for being greedy, and this person was shameless. It was this person who pushed the peaceful giant deer into the abyss for his own selfish interests. It was this person who completely shattered the image she had spent months working so hard to build in Cheng Mingzhen's eyes.
The firelight turned the ponds and lakes in the camp red, and her eyes were bloodshot with smoke. While crying, she ordered loudly, "Turn the team around and go to the "gold" village of the four masters to quell the chaos!" Those who dare not obey orders, kill! “
"Kill!" The minions who won one after another were in high spirits and responded with bloody blades.
