Chapter 309: Bandit 2
On the 30th, a horse rushed into Yangzhuang Temple.
This place is the junction of two provinces and three states and counties, according to legend, there is a temple in the Sui Dynasty, there is a surname Yang moved to build a village next to this temple, and it is named Yangzhuang Temple.
At this time, the temple village had long been occupied by bandits, and the ruins and ruins everywhere were full of desolation. Generally, the government at the junction of provinces, prefectures, and counties is weak, and bandits are the favorite, bandits are rampant, and the people living in these places either die or flee.
Looking at the appearance of Yangzhuang Temple that has been abandoned for a long time, I don't know where the people are all dead or fled.
At this time, the village was in chaos, full of all kinds of bandits, they sat or stood, or lay or lean, all noisy and laughing, without discipline at all. Their weapons and equipment are also diverse, including broadswords, spears, short axes, clubs, etc., and some even carry dung forks to boring palladium.
However, there are also elites among these ordinary bandits, such as archers, sword and shield hands, big stick hands, etc., and those who can use these weapons are old thieves, numbering more than 200 people.
In particular, there are dozens of horse thieves riding inside, and they are even more elite old bandits, and these days, those who can ride horses are not ordinary people.
However, regardless of whether they are thieves or thieves, the same characteristic of these bandits is cruelty, and they are full of anger and ferocity in their gestures.
is a secret bandit who used to look obscure and honest in the countryside, and he has no secret temperament at this time.
Seeing the horse rushing in, the bandits looked at each other and wondered: "What's wrong with Second Master Pang, he's angry, what's wrong?" ”
And the horse did not stop, and the horse whipped up, and went to a house in the village.
"What?"
When the rider entered the house to give a report, some people in the hall involuntarily stood up and screamed.
At this time, the hall of the somewhat collapsed courtyard was full of people, and the leader was a woman in her fifties, who was still a little charming, wearing a scarf and a pink cloak.
She has a pair of single phoenix eyes, and she always seems to be seducing people when she looks at people, but her eyes reveal a trace of ruthlessness intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing that she was dressed in a strong suit, pinned with a saber, and carried a double plug, she seemed to be quite strong on the horse. It is Zhao Gaotang's old lady, the famous bandit Ma Ma in Pizhou.
She was born in a local bandit family surnamed Ma in Pizhou, and she has been nurtured since she was a child, and she is extremely talented in matters such as murder and kidnapping.
She began killing people at the age of twelve, and she also liked to "put smallpox", and liked the feeling of blood and brains rushing high when people were hit by an iron pickaxe.
Because of the relationship between the family, she has also practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she is skilled in bows and horses, can chop and chop, and can also ride and shoot.
She married at the age of fourteen, and she was also a local bandit family, but until she was sixteen years old, her belly did not move, and her husband's family wanted to divorce her.
How could she be so angry, as soon as the fire was put down, dozens of people in her husband's family were all turned into ashes.
Then she married another child of a bandit family, that is, Zhao Gaotang's father Zhao Zongyi, but she was fascinated by her eyes, regardless of the fact that she was a widow, she must be gathered.
Then gave birth to Zhao Gaotang the next year, and somehow, not long after giving birth to Zhao Gaotang, Zhao Zongyi accidentally fell off a cliff during a crime and died like that.
Since then, Mama Ma has raised Zhao Gaotang to grow up, although she is a woman, but she is ruthless, cunning and cruel, and soon the affairs of the Zhao family will be in charge of her.
She is also good at looking at the direction of the wind and the world environment at that time, so she vigorously cultivated her son Zhao Gaotang, and even let him be admitted to a showman.
Their mother and son are bright and dark, the Zhao family has quickly become a famous big family in Pizhou City, and there are more and more bandits secretly controlled by Mama Ma. After the birth of his grandson Zhao Huanlu and the admirable member of the Zhao family, the development of the Zhao family was even more out of control.
Of course, Mama Ma is not an ordinary person, she is not willing to make fun of her grandchildren at home, cottages, barren mountains, wild land, blood and fire, and screams, which is her favorite, and she is not in the state city for most of the year, nor does she appear in front of people.
Therefore, although she is famous, most people only hear her name and have not seen her, and ordinary people do not know the relationship between her and the Zhao family.
Decades have passed, and she has also changed from Sister Ma to Mama Ma, and now she is in her fifties.
The "Lijiazhuang tragedy" is just one of the countless evil deeds she has committed, and after committing the crime, she skillfully ran to the outside world. This is also their family experience, officers and soldiers chase them in the east, they flee to the west, and they flee to the north when they are caught in the south, and they hide for a period of time and then come out to rob.
At this time, it was extremely difficult to coordinate the cross-border suppression of bandits, and the patrol officers in various localities were reluctant to cooperate and wait-and-see, which also enabled them to hide and recover, and grow stronger and survive.
Then her next head is the bandit Cai Chun, Zhang Dazi, Zhang Erzi, Zhang Youqing, Zhang Youyi and others, and her military advisors, account management, inspection, command, sentinel and so on.
The one who came in to report was the elite Pang Wanao Pang under her sentry hall, who was outstanding in riding, but the saddle did not leave the horse, he said loudly that the officers and soldiers were coming, and they were not far from Yangzhuang Temple.
There was a commotion in the hall, and the first reaction of the bandits when they heard the words was incredible, the township soldiers from Pizhou, Huai'an Prefecture, Nanzhili, actually ran to Shandong, is there still a law of the king of heaven?
Also, where did Dai Xubao go, why didn't there be news of the officers and soldiers, could they ......
Thinking about the officers and soldiers coming directly, it seems that Dai Xubao and others are more than lucky, and this group of officers and soldiers is also quite strong.
Cai Chun looked hateful, and he said in a trembling voice: "What's wrong with this Daming, the Pizhou township soldiers have all come to Shandong?" Crossing the border without permission is really a country! ”
Zhang Youqing asked: "How many of them are there, but there is a horse team to ride?" ”
Pang Er Ye said: "They have a horse team to intercept them, I didn't see it clearly, it is estimated that there are hundreds of people." In addition to the township soldiers, there are also new local joint defenses. ”
Everyone frowned, this information was too vague, and the big man shouted: "What about the officers and soldiers? It's not that I haven't fought before, and I fought with them. ”
He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, thick shoulders, round legs, especially very high cheekbones, and looks very vicious.
His younger brother Zhang Qiyou is also Kuiwei, similar in appearance to his elder brother, but with a larger mouth, thicker lips, and a more fierce chin shovel, he is called Zhang Erzi.
The two families were nurtured, and they also killed people since childhood, and in the Li Jiazhuang tragedy, their subordinates were extremely vicious, in addition to ruining many women, they also disemboweled a young girl and filled it with stones. The babies, they were in high spirits and put them under the stone rollers and crushed them into a pulp.
Although most of them are on the run during their careers, they have not fought against weak officers and soldiers.
Hearing that Pang Erye said that the number of villagers in this group was less than 1,000, they felt that they could fight a dozen.
At this time, Cai Chun came back to his senses, and he suggested that he should flee immediately, so Yang He had defeated the Eight Great Kings, King Chuang and others, and beheaded thousands, isn't it trivial? When you encounter such a person, you can't be invincible, you can only turn in.
Zhang Da and others disagreed, if they ran away, what should they do with their baggage? The soldiers and horses of the Yang River are spread to be miraculous, but they don't know what the actual situation is, so it's better to fight and fight, and then talk about it.
Everyone argued, and finally looked at Mama Ma to see what she said.
Mama Ma also groaned, there are not many hundreds of officers and soldiers, they are still village soldiers, and it stands to reason that thousands of them should not be afraid. However, the Yang River is indeed famous and cannot be underestimated. Mama Ma has been a bandit for decades, and she is still alive and kicking around, relying on the word "cautious".
She muttered, "Let's go and see how they are doing." ”
……
However, the development of the matter was beyond the expectations of Mama Ma and others, and Pang Erye of the Sentinel Hall reported that the Pizhou township soldiers were not far away, and they looked at the broken wall, and saw that the township soldiers he said had arrived a mile away, not far from the village.
Especially their horse team that Pang Er Ye said, there are really dozens of horses, all of them are fast horses with gray felt cloaks, rumbling and galloping, cheering and screaming, and they are extremely strong in their gestures, and even some people seem to be very good at equestrianism.
Then behind the horse team were foot soldiers, and from a distance, they only saw their red mandarin duck battle jackets, cyan armor coats, and red hats and red shoulder scarves, which were murderous and full of spirit.
Mama Ma and the others had ugly faces, and the soldiers of Pizhou Township on the opposite side were fierce, and the horse team was excellent, so they couldn't escape if they wanted to? After all, there are dozens of horsemen on both sides, and if you chase me and escape, it is really difficult to say whether you can escape. And once they escape, there may not be a few people under their command.
The next thing made Mama Ma and the others even more frightened, that is, she sent the rich fifth master of the sentinel hall to lead a few people over to take a look and spy on the details of this group of people at close range.
The rich fifth master is the old man of the sentinel hall, a superb horseman, he can not only chop and chop, but also shoot arrows on horses, is the only two horses in their army except for Mama Ma.
Unexpectedly, Fu Wuye led a few horses over, and a few horses also came out over there, they did not fight in close proximity, they only ran around Fu Wuye and others, and the two sides were about a dozen steps away.
Then the horsemen on the opposite side seemed to take out their handcuffs and shoot them on their horses, but the poor people here didn't even touch their horses' hair, so they were bombarded one by one on their horses.
After all, the rich fifth master is a horseman, not completely without the power to resist, he also shot a few arrows on the horse, but the opposite few horsemen all have side cards, and the arrows they shoot are blocked by their side cards.
They bombarded the rich fifth master with their handcuffs, but they were pitiful for the rich fifth master's ability, but they watched being beaten. He even threw his bow and arrows, brandished his sabre, and tried to cut down the horsemen on the opposite side, but they just ran around and ran without making contact with him.
In the end, the rich fifth master was solved by a few guns.
Ma Ma and the others on the wall of the wall were even more pale, what kind of firearms were used on the opposite side, what handguns, and they didn't need a fire rope?
It seems that you can still shoot three shots in a row? In this way, one shot is equal to three shots.
If you carry two guns, isn't it the same as six guns?
And it is more convenient and accurate to hold the reins in one hand and strike the gun in the other hand than to shoot arrows with both hands, and those who can only chop and slash are even more powerless to fight back against them?
How can this be fought?
But if you don't fight, you can't do it, Mama Ma and the others are bandits after all, how can they sit back and wait for death?
At this time, it was clear that there were six or seven hundred people on the opposite side, and nearly a thousand people on this side, and they were not all without the power to resist.
Although the soldiers on the opposite side are fierce, and the one surnamed Yang is also famous, but he has not been beaten, and it is unknown who killed the deer.
……
On June 30, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, outside Yangzhuang Temple.
The Xin'an army led by Minister Yang was 700 people, and about 1,000 people were fighting against the evil bandit Ma Ma.
In this battle, Minister Yang had about 500 soldiers, 70 shield soldiers, 140 gunners, and 140 spearmen. They were all formed in formation, with one row of shield soldiers and two rows of spearmen and spearmen. The column was an array of seventy men long and five wide.
Behind the array were the captains and vice-captains of each team, the flag-bearers and flag-bearers, followed by the commanders and vice-presidents, the flag-bearers, the golden drummers, and the guards.
The Cui Lu artillery team dispatched about fifty people, and they lined up behind the array, and ten No. 3 small Franc machines lined up, waiting to be pushed up to fight.
In this battle, the grenadier team and the Rui soldiers dispatched about 25 people, and Minister Yang's army array was lined up along the Huangnigou River, with the river on the left and the large array in front, they stood on the right, and there was a sentinel team in the rear.
Because the joint defense teams were called, Minister Yang selected 200 people as the baggage team, half of them were archers, and the rest of the sword and shield bearers gathered on the right side of the large array, at the front.
As for Mama Ma, they poured out of the nest, after all, Yangzhuang Temple was dilapidated and undefendable, and there was only a way out of the wilderness. When they lined up in formation, they were from the front of the bandits, the old bandits were behind, and the horses were in the formation, and they especially chose the "bitter" to fight.
……
In the sound of drums, the opposing army came slowly, and their big shields were erected, very high, and no one could see behind them. Only the cold metal light of the spear and the fire bolt that stood upright, and the blood-red tassel that danced like a flame on the spearhead.
Watching them come like a wall, with the momentum of mountain-like oppression, a "bitter" swallowed his saliva, which is the black word of bandits, that is, the most daring bandits.
They were selected by Mama Ma and others, and were promised a large reward, and at the same time promised that in the future, the village would be opened, and all kinds of women would be left to their choice.
After this side lined up the troops, they also desperately agitated: "Brothers, as the old saying goes, cutting off someone's money is like killing your parents!" How happy I am, kill people if you want to kill, set fire if you want to set fire, and be a woman if you want to be a woman! What is it? Fairy days! ”
"Pizhou is unfortunate, Yang He, a thief, is a big evil star and wants to cut off our way. The money we earn with our ability and the woman who plays with our ability, why should we let the surname Yang be broken? If the chickens are not good, our heroes are not people, so don't be happy? ”
The "suffering" desperately agitated, so that the bandits were filled with righteous indignation, and their faces turned red.
Gao Yan was dancing with a big knife, and he was also so angry that he couldn't help himself, and what Zhan Ye said in front of him could be said to his heart. The days after joining the team were the most alive days in his life, why did he let that Xin'anzhuang thief break off?
The "bitter" Zhan Ye continued to agitate: "Their rows of shields, rows of birds, after a while, they will stop cooking, we rushed up, lifted their shields, cut melons and vegetables." Let these Pizhou township soldiers know that this day, they can't turn it over! Pizhou will always be our world! ”
The roar was like thunder, and the big drum in the rear shook the sky, and thousands of bandits, the black pressure was rushing.
They rushed to the forefront, each with a shield and a dagger and a short axe, while the rest of the bandits were armed with swords and shields, and some archers followed.
The last layer of archers, the first layer of sword and shield hands, and the horse team rode at the end, from this point of view, Ma and the others still have some military ability.
Seeing this side rushing forward, the footsteps of the military formation of that side stopped, their "tiger" roared, the shield fell to the ground, and seventy black pressed bird guns poked out.
And the bandits on this side continued to charge, starting from more than 200 paces and rushing to within 100 steps. However, the bandits also had many eyes, and from their point of view, the archers and sword and shield men of the village joint defense team gathered on the left side of the large array, bending their bows and arrows, only facing them, so they subconsciously leaned to the right.
In particular, after their archers entered the hundred paces, they gave an order, and more than 200 people all shot arrows, and the bowstrings vibrate, and the whistling arrow rain swept into the air and fell to the front of the large array. They shot again and again, and the arrows rained down.
The archers of the joint defense team also fired arrows back, and the sound of bowstrings came after another. Arrows whizzed down, some of the charging bandits blocked the arrows with shields, and some fell screaming from the arrows. But they could bear the casualties, and the bandits howled and threw themselves only at the front shield.
They were getting closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye they were within fifty paces.
Gao Yan howled, he held the big knife, looked at the black pressure in front of him, and was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
looked at Brother Gao Jun beside him, who also screamed strangely, and his expression was extremely hideous.
Suddenly, I heard a sharp swan sound on the opposite side, and then a deafening explosion, billowing white smoke, enveloped the shield array in front.
Gao Yan heard a hoarse shout in front of him, and many brothers rolled to the ground in a cluster of blood mist.
Before he could react, there was another sharp swan sound, and the fire exploded again in front of him, and the white smoke spread out like a flying dragon, and in the dazzling fireworks, blood was dotted, like the gorgeous and fleeting flowers.
Many brothers rolled to the ground again, clutching the bullet part, wailing in pain.
And rushing to this position, Gao Yan also saw a brother who was shot, it was actually the "bitter" Zhan Ye, his intestines were beaten out, and flowers flowed all over the ground.
He rolled and howled, crying like the woman he despised most, and he thrust his bowels so hard that it seemed that all the strength of his blood was gone.
Gao Yan's whole body trembled, and all the pride and momentum of Fang Cai came to naught, he looked at Brother Gao Jun beside him, and the brothers in front of him, their lips trembled, their faces were pale, and they were all hesitant to step by step.
And at this time, there was a frightened scream in front of him, and Gao Yan could also see it clearly, the shield array still shrouded in white smoke in front of him moved away, and then huge guns of black holes appeared.
His mind went blank, and before he could decide whether to enter or flee, he listened to the continuous sharp sound of "bang bang-", and the muzzles of each cannon in front of him erupted long bursts of fire, accompanied by a long thick smoke. Then in the firelight and smoke, a large piece of fine red light, with a trail of white smoke, swept over his head and face.
The front of the large array seemed to be shrouded in the power of the shotguns, and the charging bandits burst into a little blood mist, and rolled down in pieces like wheat.
How powerful is a shotgun within fifty paces? A lot of overlapping targets are punched through front and back. Some people were hit in the hands and feet, and their limbs were broken on the spot. The head is hit, even like an egg and a watermelon being broken, and all kinds of blood and brains are exploding high and far away.
In an instant, the terrible screams and wails came one after another.
"My hand, my hand ......" Brother Gao Jun picked up his broken left hand and cried, "It must be installed, it must be installed......"
Gao Yan lay on the ground, and he looked at his broken right calf, where only a little bit of flesh and skin remained, and Bai Sensen's bones were exposed, which was shocking.
He trembled, trembled, and his face turned as pale as a dead man.
It's over, all his ambitions, all his pride, are a thing of the past.
A lot of things are over before they even start.
……
The screams were earth-shattering, and the charging bandits collapsed, and they howled and fled, scattering the archers and sword and shield men behind them, and even the horse team that was in charge of the formation was scattered.
Seeing that the general trend was gone, Mama Ma and the others had to turn their horses and run away, Minister Yang laughed: "This gang of bandits is really vulnerable!" ”
He ordered the whole line to be pursued, and all the bandits were killed, and the particularly famous bandits and bandits could not be spared either by arrest or killing.
They chased and killed for a few hours, and the good news kept coming, the bandit Cai Chun, Zhang Dazi, Zhang Erzi, Zhang Youqing, Zhang Youyi and others were all caught. Because these people were the people named by Yang Xianggong, in order to prevent accidents, Minister Yang ordered to smash all their hands and feet with a big stick.
Finally, the greatest good news came, and the earth-shattering cheers in the wilderness said: "I have caught the bandit leader Mama!" ”
Minister Yang looked excitedly, and saw that Zeng Youyu was waiting to gallop back, and there was a set of horse ropes behind their horses, and at this time there was a person dragging behind the ropes, just like a wild beast struggling and howling, it was the culprit of the "Lijiazhuang tragedy", Ma Ma, the leader of the Pizhou bandits.
