Chen Qiuao suddenly drew a javelin in his hand, shouted loudly, the javelin roared away, and a strong man with a short axe, barefoot, pounced from the back of the tea shop, staggered and fell back, the sharp javelin came out of his body, and blood splashed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Qiuao stretched out his hand, another javelin in his hand, and threw it fiercely, and another rough man with a big knife and an open chest flew out, and the spearhead that had penetrated through his body fell with him, and even the people were deeply stabbed to the ground.

He drew his javelin again, and a man with a short brown turban and a long knife howled and pounced, and his leather shield blocked the knife, and the javelin in his hand stabbed fiercely, and the sound of a sharp weapon piercing the flesh, a large stream of blood spurted out, and the throat of the man with the knife was pierced.

Chen Qiuao pulled out his javelin, the blood rain fell, and with another hard throw, another thief who pounced on the tea shop shook and fell.

"Whoosh!" A sharp arrow roared, and a boat came out of the reeds, near the tea shop, and some men in barefoot shirts were about to jump down, all with swords and axes, and when the arrow was fired, a man with an axe screamed and fell into the water.

A few arrows were shot one after another, and one by one the thieves rolled under the boat, and blood floated from time to time, but it was Hu Cheng who took the Bali Bow in his hand and shot heavy arrows one after another.

"Bang!" Yang He fired a shot, and a guy-like man who came out of the tea shop flew out.

Yang He buckled the plate machine, with a hammer on his right thumb, and the barrel rotated with it, changing the ignition eyelet.

Suddenly, he let his thumb go, and the powerful spring fell with the hammer and struck the fire sickle.

There was a loud bang, billowing white smoke filled in front of him again, and another thief from the tea shop rolled down with a rain of blood.

Yang He's heart swelled with satisfaction, this physical condition is good, he has studied since he was a child, and he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he is skilled in arches and horses, and he is also a frequent visitor to firearms clubs in various countries. Comprehensive results, the new An'an handcuff developed by him on a small trial basis has satisfactory results.

But it may be a talent problem, he can't play with guns left and right, Qian Sanniang, Li Ruwan, and the three of them are veterans in this regard.

The sound of guns came and went, Uncle Wan, Tan Ge'er and others launched attacks on the black shop bandits, but the strange screams, at this time, in addition to the back of the tea shop, the remote embankment willow forest west of the official road also drilled out a lot of thieves, all with knives and axes, a total of dozens of people.

No wonder I saw ten people on this side, all of them had horses, and they all carried weapons and dared to provoke robbery.

Qian Sanniang pulled out another handcuff, and as soon as the empty handcuff turned, it was stuffed into the holster on the left, and she shouted: "Pay attention to the rear wing, form a formation." ”

Immediately, everyone took out the cards one by one, Chen Qiuao covered Yang He's retreat, and Qian Sanniang left and right, protecting Yang He behind.

Li Ruwan took the side card thrown by Brother Mao, and she also opened three guns with her handcuff, which was also stuffed into the holster on the left side of her body. With the right hand drawn, the right holster of the gun is pulled out, and then it rotates flexibly, and the mouth of the handgun is already facing the outside.

The rest of the people who did not draw their handcuffs also drew their handcuffs, and some took off their winged tiger guns and long knives.

In the current army, everyone uses handcuffs, and the holster is generally placed on the left, with the mouth facing the right, and the right hand is withdrawn, so that if the cloak is worn, the handcuff will not hook the cloak when drawn, and it is more convenient.

Qian Sanniang and Li Ruwan use double guns, and the holsters are also crossed left and right, but they can draw their forehands and backhands as much as they want, and they have already played with flowers, which is very neat.

Soon the crowd formed a formation, four or five people on each side of the east and west, slightly circular, protecting Yang He and the horses, and then everyone opened fire, and the bandits who rushed on both sides were constantly knocked to the ground.

"Boom!" Mao Ge'er opened a gun, a large stream of gunpowder smoke filled, he and Li Ruwan were in the rear wing, facing the enemy in the west, Li Ruwan and Tan Ge'er were still holding side cards, he and Song Ge'er were holding winged tiger guns, slightly hiding behind the two to shoot.

He shot down a bandit, twisted his body again, and once again calmly aimed at the bandit who came out of the willow forest, and pulled the trigger.

There was another loud bang, and a bandit with a lazy towel and a shirtless body with a short axe in his hand flew out, and he rolled on the ground, screaming desperately.

The four of them fired their guns from time to time, and the sound of guns was repeated, this fierce firepower rogue couldn't stand it, which one of the thieves could bear it?

In an instant, they were beaten and crawled back.

A bandit with a big knife finally rushed to the front, Li Ruwan hit him hard, the bandit vomited blood, and the person was also knocked down the official road, with a mouth full of teeth flying around.

Yang He stood behind Chen Qiuao and Qian Sanniang, fired another shot, knocked over the rushing bandits, and then returned to his horse and took off his Kaiyuan strong bow.

He and Hu Cheng shot fiercely, and soon the bandits who rushed from behind the tea shop were also routed, and they all scrambled to jump on the boat and flee to the reeds.

Yang He shot arrows unhurriedly, shooting many of the water bandits who jumped onto the boat into the water, and finally he drew another heavy arrow, and the twelve-force bow crunched.

Suddenly, Yang He let go of the bowstring, "Whoosh! The heavy arrows broke through the air with a fierce roar, and there was a scream, the sound of heavy objects falling into the water, and then the ships disappeared into the reeds.

In the end, everything in front of me was over, and I saw the corpses of the bandits and wounded everywhere, all over the place, and only the thick smell of blood was permeating.

Hu Cheng exhaled, he put away the double plug, and scolded angrily: "Rinen is in charge, and I am in a hurry, but I met bandits again, and it seems that most of them are water bandits in Llama Lake." ”

Yang He looked at it and sighed, he said: "Even we dare to do it, it can be seen how arrogant these bandits are." We people have some skills, and if ordinary people encounter them, I am afraid that they will suffer. If the bandits are not exterminated, and the people dare not travel, how can we talk about development? ”

Everyone felt the same way, and Li Ruwan shouted: "The bandits are indeed hateful, but no matter how many there are, they will be killed." ”

Hu Yi's heart swelled with a sense of superiority, he said: "Old Mrs. Li doesn't know this, the bandits here are not as good as mountain bandits, their nest is their boat, today in this river, tomorrow in that lake, hidden weapons and fishermen, it is not easy to exterminate them." ”

Everyone was surprised, and Li Ruwan shouted: "Really fake? ”

Yang He nodded slightly, no matter the lake or the seaside, many fishermen are half fishermen and half bandits, especially they live on the boat, a boat is a family, in addition to selling goods ashore, basically live on the boat all year round.

They rarely have a fixed location, and they wander around the rivers and lakes, like nomads on the water.

If some of these fishermen are bandits, it is indeed not easy to exterminate them, at least much more difficult than those on land.

Fortunately, Kang Lao came to vote, and he will also build a fleet sailor in the future.

Yang He ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, and the corpses were also carried into the tea shop and burned.

Everyone started one after another, and the corpses were carried into the tea shop, and the bandits who were not dead also made up for it.

Li Ruwan carried an axe to look around, and suddenly saw that there were people crawling in the grass under the official road, but it was the bandit who was hit by her earlier.

After knocking this person down, she forgot about this person because she was dealing with other bandits.

couldn't help laughing: "You kid is here?" He happily carried the axe up.

The bandit was so frightened that his soul was scattered, his mouth was full of blood, and he shouted indistinctly: "The good man spares his life, the good man spares his life, the villain knows that he is wrong, begs the good man to spare me, and sends me to the government to admit it." ”

Li Ruwan smiled: "Why bother? She slashed down with an axe, and the flesh splattered with blood, and it was a terrible scream.

Qian Sanniang commanded everyone to be busy, she herself had a side card in one hand, a heavy sword in the other, and also searched in the tea shop, and there was a harvest, an open-chested man shrank in a corner, and was hit by an arrow in his thigh, just trembling.

Seeing Qian Sanniang's heavy sword pointing, he knelt down and kowtowed on the ground like pounding garlic: "Auntie and grandmother spare my life, I am old and young." ”

Qian Sanniang said: "You are alive, and it is also a torture for them." ”

The heavy sword stabbed through the mouth of the bandit, and in his wide eyes, the red and white liquid spurted out of his mouth.

……

In the end, all the corpses were moved to the tea shop***, and the stove where the tea was burned was kicked over, and slowly the tea shop burned, and finally turned into a raging fire.

Yang He and the others left quickly, and this little episode did not delay their journey, but they had a clear understanding of the number of bandits in various places.

If you don't suppress it, except for a large caravan, I'm afraid ordinary people won't dare to go out.

Soon they passed by Zhangjiazhuang, but did not stop, along the way always felt that there were bandits snooping, fortunately, after all, no bandits attacked their ideas.

After crossing the intersection of the road and Zhangjiazhuang, there are about thirty miles away from the county seat of Suqian, and everyone continues to hurry, and soon they arrive at the Shunji River in Dongjiagou, twenty miles away from the county seat.

This ditch belongs to the canal section, there are five miles to the mouth of Luoma Lake in the east, when Chongzhen was five years, because the Chen Huiji River of Luoma Lake in the west of Suqian City was silted, it was changed to pick up the Dongjiagou in the west of Suqian City for twenty miles, called Shunji River.

There is an arch bridge on the official road to cross the river, and riding a horse on the arch bridge, it is obvious that there are many more boats than the section of the Yellow River that passed earlier, but because of the end of May, there are not many boats, mostly civilian ships and merchant ships.

The golden time of Cao Yun is March and April, and the Cao boat goes north until the Huai'an Tongji Gate is dammed in early June, and the Cao boat is completely stopped. Merchant ships and civilian ships had to pass over the dam if they wanted to go, and it was the golden time for the swanders.

On October 15 of each year, dams should be built in Nanwang, Linqing and other places to be used as large and small picks for the river, and the dam was not opened until the first day of February of the following year.

There is a small market town on the opposite side of the official road, and there is a small wharf at the mouth of the river, but it is the boats that come from the Yellow River, and when they enter the Shunji River, many boats will rest at this wharf.

At this time, many sections of the Yellow River are still used as transportation channels, and the real Yellow River and the canal are completely separated, which will be in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty in history, and Jin Fu, the governor of the river, put forward the plan of opening the middle river in 25 years, and finally completed it in 42 years.

Go up to the Soap River, go down to Yangzhuang, and the river is completely separated.

At that time, the canal was in the east of Suqian County, parallel to the Yellow River, but at this time, after reaching the mouth of the Dongjiagou River, the Yellow River was a canal.

At this time, the Yellow River is not easy to walk, the wind and waves are urgent, especially heavy transport traces the Yellow River up, the day is not more than a few miles, and often drifts and indulges, and drifting is not just a pretext.

Earlier, the Shunji River was a little silted, but looking at the smooth movement of merchant ships and civilian ships, it was obvious that after Shi Kefa arrived in Suqian, he carried out the dredge.

After a short rest in this market town and a few pots of tea, Yang He and others continued to hurry, and when they were about to go to the west of Suqian County, they went to the "Zhenhuang" gate in the west of Suqian County.

……

Suqian county is not big, about four miles in Zhou, six years of Zhengde, the county Deng Shizhong built the earth city, the city was rectangular at that time, the length and length were short.

In the fourth year of Wanli, the river broke Weijialou, the state and county along the way were drowned, and Suqian City was also tragically bitten by the river, and Yu Wenwei, the then governor of the county, decided to move the city and move the county north to two miles and build it on Maling Mountain.

Finally the city is built, it is circular, there are three city gates, the east gate is said to be "Yingxi" gate, the west gate is said to be "Gongxiu" gate, the south gate is said to be "Wanghuai" gate, the north side is not built the city gate, a pavilion is built and said to be "Lanxiu" pavilion.

In the twenty-second year of Wanli, He Dongfeng of Zhixian County covered the earth city with bricks, the original three city gates were changed to four city gates, and the names were all changed, the west gate was renamed "Zhenhuang" gate, the east gate was renamed "Yangchun" gate, the southwest was called "Heqing" gate, and the southeast was called "Yingxun" gate.

This pattern has been preserved to the present Chongzhen year, compared to Suining City, Suqian City is obviously much more prosperous, there are five markets in the Zhengde period, and 14 new ones are built in the Wanli period, a total of 19 markets at this time.

In particular, the south of the city and the north of the city are lively, as for the west, that place is not far from the Yellow River, in addition to the embankment, there is a polder wall outside the city wall, and the Shiqiu Lake in the east at this time is also there, affecting the development, there is only one Tongdai Street - the East Street of the later generations.

Yang He and the others entered the city from the "Zhenhuang Gate", and when they walked to the city, they felt much higher than the official road that everyone came from.

After all, the city is built on Maling Mountain, this mountain number is twelve miles around, fifteen zhang high, Lingfu is like a horse, in addition to being able to prevent floods, it is also suitable for living, it is indeed a place suitable for building a city.

It was not Minzhuang who defended the city and checked the pedestrians, but Dai Guozhu, the chief soldier who protected the river, and the battalion soldiers under the general Gu Daoxing.

These two Yang He also learned that Dai Guozhu was a native of Cixi County, Zhejiang, Gu Daoxing was a native of Ganquan, Yangzhou Prefecture, and the ancient Dao Xing was a martial artist in Chongzhen for four years.

At the end of this year, Yuan Shizhong said that he would go to save the king of Lu, not approaching Xuzhou, which was close at hand, and went to Suqian far east, and both of them died in battle.

This is the first time Yang He has seen Daming's battalion, so he pays attention to it.

I saw that their infantry clothes and armor were similar to the summer clothes of their own soldiers, red hats, and mandarin duck battle jackets were long armor, which looked like cotton armor, but Yang He could see at a glance that there was not much cotton inside, and it was estimated that it was only two or three catties.

Although there are many nail bubbles nailed on the outside, they can only be regarded as thin cotton coats, not cotton nails.

And there are no iron armed hands, no iron helmets.

Seeing that they were weak, Yang He sighed in his heart, this kind of temperament, this kind of equipment.

Not to mention that the iron-inlaid cotton armor of the ordinary Qing army weighs forty pounds, it is the old camp of Liukou horse soldiers, and many people's pure cotton armor also has twenty or thirty pounds, and the iron-inlaid cotton armor is also generally thirty or forty pounds.

Even if the infantry of the Ming Dynasty generally did not have armor, this kind of equipment was too poor.

I also saw some people in armor, wearing iron helmets, with long and thick armor bulging and thick, and the copper nails on them were larger and heavier, apparently of which belonged to iron-inlaid cotton armor, and they had arms and hands, and the armor pieces on them glistened in the sun.

Seeing that the long armor of these people is bright red, very similar to the dress of Liu Qilang and others at that time, and their eyes are also full of slaughter, which is quite unruly.

I know that these people are members of the horse team, and they are indeed much more elite than ordinary infantry.

Yang He had heard Hu Chengcheng report on the situation in Suqian County, and knew that there were more than 3,000 soldiers under Dai Guozhu and Gu Daoxing, and more than 300 members of the middle horse team.

I couldn't help but shake my head, fighting with my family, many times I can count on these more than 300 people.
