The remaining rangers came over and reported to Ma Youshui: "My lord, the Salars are probably afraid of our revenge, and all the people have gathered in Xigou to the west. ”

"Want to escape?" Ma Youshui smiled coldly, "I knew today, why bother in the first place?" Brethren, first fence the west ditch! ”

He was still thinking about whether to attack at night, but now it seems that if he doesn't act at night, the Salar people may run away, and the ten general flags under him are divided into four parts, of which four general flags are arranged on the front, once the rhythm of the attack is taken, the four general flags take turns to attack, and the rest of the three directions are arranged with two small flags, one is positive and one auxiliary, a small flag is mainly used for defense to prevent the Salar people from escaping, and the other small flag is ready for reinforcements from other directions at any time.

Xigou is just an ordinary village, the distance between the left and right is only one and a half miles, the Ming army was quickly deployed in place, but Ma Youshui did not let the soldiers attack immediately, but first eat and drink, once the battle begins, with the will of the Salar people, I am afraid that it will not end for a while and a half.

But the soldiers can only eat half full, and before strenuous exercise, eating too much will affect combat effectiveness.

The Salar people had already discovered the Xining army, and although there was some panic at first, they quickly stabilized their position under the training of Han Feng, the official of the hundred households, and the old and weak women and children were concentrated in the center of the village, unless the Xining army captured the entire village, they would be safe.

Seeing that the Ming army was hidden in the night, Han Feng thought that the Ming army would not attack until after dawn, and he soon found out that he was wrong.

Couldn't be more wrong.

A trumpet sounded, the Ming army began to attack from the north, and the soldiers of the five small flags, almost in a straight line, pushed forward directly, and behind them, there were three general flags waiting for them, ready to replace them at any time.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The Xining army shouted the slogan of unification and began to rush towards the village, and the Salar people in the village, in order to block the Xining army outside the village and protect the old women and children in the village, they rushed to the outside of the village like moths to the fire, and rushed towards the Xining army one by one with knives, guns and clubs.

Despite their large numbers, Zhuangzi was only that wide, and with the exception of a few who came into contact with the Ming army, most of the Salars could only follow behind and shout and cheer.

A loud voice does not mean that the fighting power is strong, especially in the face of highly trained soldiers.

Those Salar people who shouted and cheered in the back soon had the opportunity to "make meritorious contributions", and when the Salar people in front fell, they consciously made up for it, and at this moment, they were the most fearless fighters, and they didn't need Han Feng's command at all.

The battle lasted for half an hour, and the Xining Army was the first to go out to fight the general banner, I don't know how many Salar people were killed, but the smell of blood made them extremely excited, and they even forgot that there was a substitute behind them, until the second general flag officer who went out of the battle was angry, and they found the opportunity to slowly withdraw.

The new force was even more courageous than the soldiers just now, and immediately squeezed the Salar people towards the village.

Seeing that the situation was developing in the direction he expected, Ma Youshui no longer cared about the battle itself, but said to the chief flag officer who had just retreated: "Immediately count the number of soldiers and see how many soldiers are killed or wounded." ”

"Yes, sir!" The chief flag officer led the soldiers to the side, began to line up to investigate, and reported to Ma Youshui at a trot: "My lord, there are no serious injuries or deaths, only six soldiers are slightly injured, it should be fine!" ”

"Well, that's good!" Ma Youshui's face finally showed joy, he had just seen with his own eyes that the Salar people were put down like cutting leeks, and none of them died, it seemed that the gap between the soldiers and the people was finally revealed.

He regretted his rashness yesterday even more, if he hadn't been soft-hearted and wanted to give the Salars another chance, the nine brothers would not have died, thinking of this, he had to tighten his teeth, set his eyes on the battlefield, and said in his heart: These Salars, the dog bites Lu Dongbin, they should really be killed.

Not only did Ma Youshui want to exterminate the Salars, but the general banner that was fighting had to be exterminated to them, whether it was to avenge the dead brothers or to compare the general banner just now, they didn't want to leave behind.

Under the loud shouting of the chief flag officer, the soldiers became more and more courageous, and the Salar people on the opposite side, originally only three hundred strong men, after two rounds of killing, have lost the advantage in numbers, although there are still some strong women, old people and half-grown children to join, but the combat effectiveness has been reduced, in the face of the murderous Xining army, they can not resist the enemy, began to retreat to the village.

Han Feng saw that the situation was not good, and personally stood up to cheer for the Salar people, Ma Youshui borrowed the weak torch, saw Han Feng pointing fingers, and couldn't help but be furious, if it weren't for this ignorance, those brothers would not have died, he shouted at the soldiers who were fighting: "The one on the other side is the culprit of the brothers' casualties, kill!" ”

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The combat effectiveness of the soldiers suddenly rose to the extreme, and they suddenly rushed the Salar people on the opposite side, and if it weren't for the sake of maintaining a coordinated battle, some soldiers would have rushed over a long time ago.

Where had Han Feng seen such a formation, and when he found that the Xining army was targeting him, he was so frightened that he fled straight to the center of Zhuangzi, and disappeared after a while.

Running away is also contagious, whether it's a stalemate in the fighting or an unfavorable situation.

Han Feng told his people with facts that the battle had been lost, and if they wanted to survive, the only way to escape was to escape, although the night was a little dark, but how could the Salar people not understand?

I don't know who started, the Salar gradually fled the battlefield, wanting to disengage from the Xining army, and in the face of massive killings, their previous courage was gone.

Ma Youshui saw the situation clearly and shouted at the soldiers: "Brothers, if the Salars want to escape, press on." ”

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The soldiers of the three general banners chased the Salars to the center of Zhuangzi, and only the general banner beside Ma Youshui stayed behind the back hall to prevent the Salars from hiding in the house and escaping from Zhuangzi while the chaos was taking advantage of the chaos.

At the same time, the Xining Army in the other three directions also launched a general attack on Zhuangzi.

The four-way army converged in the center of Zhuangzi, but Ma Youshui found that in addition to the old and weak women and children, there were only dozens of strong men who were captured. They must have escaped in the dark, or hid in the house. ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers who stayed behind, escorted more than a dozen Salar strong men, they took advantage of the darkness, wanted to escape from Zhuangzi, and were caught by the soldiers lurking behind, knowing that the general trend had gone, they did not resist anymore, and obediently became prisoners of war.

Ma Youshui was not at ease, so he asked the soldiers to search the houses one by one, but the people they found were basically old and weak, and there were only a few strong men.

Is that all there is to it? Ma Youshui still can't believe it, what about Han Feng? I didn't seem to see it, but after searching, it turned out that I had changed my clothes and hid in the crowd of women.

Ma Youshui laughed unconsciously, "Han Feng, why don't you hide in your mother's belly?" And fucking 100 households......"

Han Feng patted the wrinkles on his clothes, just dressed properly, and slowly walked in front of Ma Youshui, and said, "I have a gold medal forgiveness from the Ming court, you can't kill me!" ”

"Gold medal?" When Ma Youshui heard this, he suddenly became angry, and it was because of this gold medal that several brothers lost their lives, and he said coldly: "What gold medal?" Take it and see, who knows if it's true or not! ”

"Of course it's true, and there are big characters written by Grandpa Cheng himself!" A hint of cunning flashed in Han Feng's eyes, and he took out the gold medal from his arms and raised it to the sky.

Ma Youshui snatched it away, and he didn't look closely, but put it in his arms, "Han Feng, where is your gold medal?" Take a look! ”

"You ......" Han Feng found out that he had been fooled, but at this moment, the gold medal had fallen into Ma Youshui's arms, and he was faintly shocked into a cold sweat.

"Without a gold medal, what else is inking? Kill! Ma Youshui is going to kill people in public, and it's not all about avenging his brothers, snatching the gold medal in public, but it's a bit like "pointing to a deer as a horse".

The soldier raised the waist knife in his hand and slashed forward, only to see a flash of cold light, and then a liquid with a fishy smell erupted from Han Feng's neck.

Han Feng covered the wound with his hand, couldn't say a word, shook twice in the wind, his body was crooked, and he fell heavily on the ground, and the blood column was broken into several sections.

Ma Youshui killed Han Feng in public, which frightened the remnants of the Salar Zhuangding, but they had already been disarmed, and it was impossible to resist again, besides, the Xining army had already occupied a numerical advantage, and if they resisted, they would just die faster.

All the Salar prisoners of war were gathered in a clearing in the center of Zhuangzi, and the Xining army lit torches, illuminating the area as if it were daylight, and even the faces of the women could be seen clearly.

The strong men were singled out, a total of fifty-eight men, all tied with ropes, and then brought into the village on the left, and what happened here had nothing to do with them.

This is followed by the selection of strong women, the basic standard set by Ma Youshui, over fifteen years old, under thirty years old, if the age is a little younger, but the chest contour has appeared, the appearance of the good, also accepted, as for those over thirty years old, unless it is stunning, there is a chance to enter the ranks of strong women.

Ma Youshui took the torch from one of the soldiers, looked at it, and picked out five of them with sharp noses and cheeks, who looked too good for God, and put them back in the old and weak group.

The strong women were also tied up, but they were taken into the darkness on the right.

When the strong girls went away, Ma Youshui wanted to atone for his former heart, he was ruthless, stretched out his right hand, made a downward cutting motion towards the soldiers, and then turned around and walked out of the village.

The soldiers were a little suspicious at first, but when they saw that Ma Youshui had gone away, and there was no chance to speak, he suddenly thought of his brother who was killed, gritted his teeth and said, "Kill!" ”

The white blade waved, and the blood curtains, like snowflakes that had lost their gravity, flew irregularly, and even the heads of the soldiers who did it were dark red.

At this time, the screams and cries of all kinds of decibels, the "click" sound of sharp blades into the bones, and the "bang" sound of the dying rolling on the ground were ignored by the soldiers, and in their hearts, there were only the nine brothers who did not even see their bodies.

There were not many old and weak women and children left, and in less than a pillar of incense, the entire Xigou Village was restored to calm, and the night covered up all the sins and blood, whether it was their own or the other party's.
