Chapter 046: Beggars Are Crazy
Seeing that the beggars were weak and deceitful, they were awakened from their sleep in the middle of the night, and until now, the native soldiers, who were all hungry, lost their patience, and when they drove the beggars, their movements became more and more rude, and their attitude was extremely bad. A teenage beggar suffered a leg injury and accidentally fell while walking, blocking the advancing procession.
The three local soldiers with big sticks in their hands couldn't help but say that they would split their heads, and the little beggars rolled and wailed under the sticks, and the gang leaders and officials in charge of escorting them not only did not stop them, but crossed their arms and watched the excitement happily.
A young beggar broke out of the crowd and threw himself on the little beggar, and covered his fellow who was rolling and wailing on the ground with his waist, and the clubs of the native soldiers rained down on his shoulders, back, and head. The young man fainted and fell to the ground.
A beggar tried to come and help him, but was pulled to the ground by a local soldier, and the beggar screamed and struggled, and her rags were torn into pieces of cloth in the fight, revealing a piece of white flesh. A group of native soldiers made an uproar, and some pointed and claimed that they had had a dewy affair with them in the woodland on the street one day and one day, and then described the experience of the fun in detail, which caused more native soldiers to laugh.
The beggar girl was embarrassed, covered her face and fled, and the native soldiers gathered in a circle, blocking and not letting go, pushing and shoving, giggling and laughing. The beggar girl was so ashamed and angry that she suddenly hugged a native soldier and bit it when she opened her mouth, and the native soldier screamed miserably, and half of her ears were missing. His companion rushed over and slammed his fist into the beggar's head, and with a punch down, the beggar's teeth bit even tighter, and her ears snapped together.
The wounded soldier screamed fiercely, violently broke away from the beggar, and despite the bleeding from his ear, he grabbed a whistle stick and beat him on the head. The beggar girl was hit in the forehead and fell on her back. The native soldiers did not give up, and swung their sticks like the wind, and the sticks fell like raindrops. A sturdy beggar suddenly roared and slammed into the soldier's lower abdomen, knocking him to the ground.
Fierce revenge followed, and a dozen clubs chased after him like a storm, and the beggar's face was suddenly covered in blood.
A white lotus root with sludge flew into the air towards the attacking soldiers, and a beggar woman with bloodshot eyes and a hungry wolf howled. The soldiers were stunned by this momentum, and looked at her in amazement, but they were at a loss. The beggar's eyes were as fierce as those of a hungry wolf.
Woo –
A foul wind struck a soldier in the cheek of a half-cut brick, and blood flowed down at once.
There was another terrible scream, a thin beggar, armed with a sharp knife, sneaked up on a fast hand, the sharp knife stabbed a bloody hole in Kuaishou's waist, and Kuaishou shook his waist pole twice, and fell to the ground.
After the sudden attack, the soldiers were in confusion and began to retreat in a panic.
After the first battle was won, the beggars' confidence was greatly increased, and greens, turnips, bricks, and stones rained down on the heavily armed native soldiers. The morale of the native soldiers plummeted, and they discarded their guns and sticks, and fled with their heads in their hands. The beggar who tasted the sweetness was an inch, chased and beat fiercely, and two reckless beggars joined forces to catch a lone native soldier, and despite the native soldier kneeling on the ground to ask for mercy, he struck the head with a short stick ten times, and at the end, the native soldier who smashed his head into a bloody gourd was thrown into the stinky ditch on the side of the street, and let him slowly suffocate to death.
Cui Li wanted this result, he stopped Zheng Hu, who was about to retreat, and said breathlessly: "It's terrible, the untouchables are reversed, if you don't be ruthless, I'm afraid you won't be able to control it, if you lose the city, you and I will be guilty of death." Zheng Hu was silent for a while, gritted his teeth, and ordered the soldiers to use bows and crossbows. The native soldiers, who had recovered from the chaos, immediately organized a counterattack, rows of feathered arrows were fired, rows of beggars fell to the ground, the situation suddenly reversed, and the native soldiers, who had already collapsed, regained the initiative by virtue of their weapons.
A ferocious revenge began, and the beggars who fell to the ground and did not die, and their companions had no time to rescue them, became the punching bags of the native soldiers, and they were poked with knives and guns, and instantly turned into a puddle of rotten meat.
The clash was short and intense, killing two Kuaishou and three native soldiers, wounding more than two dozen people, one of whom fell into a deep coma with the back of his head blossoming. Eighteen beggars were killed and countless others were wounded.
The corpses and blood woke both sides up at the same time. There are still thousands of beggars in the city, standing still and letting people cut and kill, it is not a moment and a half to kill, most of the native soldiers have not experienced the baptism of battle, go into battle to kill the enemy, only with the courage of a blood and spirit, calm down, everyone is afraid of the straight trembling, morale is extremely low. Those "soldiers" who had been temporarily borrowed to make up the numbers had already fled in the chaos, taking not only their swords and guns with them, but also bundles of feathered arrows on their backs.
Zheng Hu inspected the soldiers, and there were less than 50 people in the department, and each person had less than five feather arrows left.
On the beggars' side, they also understood that the knives and guns in the hands of the officials and soldiers were not vegetarian, and although the bows and arrows were not accurate enough, they were shot at close range, and the lethality was really amazing. Therefore, although the number of beggars is superior, they do not dare to make mistakes.
The two sides tacitly disengaged and confronted each other from afar, and no one dared to provoke without authorization. After Cui Li urged Zheng Hu to enter the army several times to no avail, he brushed his sleeves away, and after a blink of an eye, he hid in the cellar in the backyard of the county government, used a wooden stick against the door, and made a turtle with a shrunken head with peace of mind.
The beggars around the county government gathered more and more, like a black hoop. Drawing their lesson and renunciating violence, the beggars sat in a row holding hands and singing songs from the door-to-door begging, their voices humming like the chanting of monks in temples.
In order to be safe, Zheng Hu ordered the native soldiers to slowly retreat into the county government and hold out.
The county government was paralyzed, the local soldiers were surrounded, and the evil young men outside the city of Chengwu were satisfied, and they called friends for a while, and they came out in groups, holding knives and axes, splitting doors and entering households, robbing money, **** women, and doing evil things. Around dusk, more than a dozen pillars of smoke rose in all directions outside the city, and the sound of the people's cries was earth-shattering.
Seeing the opportunity, the beggars took the opportunity to put pressure on the government, proposing that as long as Chen Daxi and others were released and the murderers Zheng Hu, Han Zi, Feng Bu and others were handed over, they would remove the siege and assist the government in arresting the evil and stabilizing the situation.
The county ordered Xue Rong and the county Cheng Feng Yin to go out on business, the county lieutenant Cui Li was missing, and the main book was on leave and did not return. In reply to the beggar gang, the beggars thought that the government was entertaining them, and immediately came up with a killer idea: one hundred and eight beggars carried one hundred and eight loads of dung, filled them with a long-handled scoop and poured dung juice into the county office, and the sky above the dignified Chengwu county government was suddenly filled with gloomy clouds and mist, and the stench spread for miles away.
Xue Rong, the county magistrate who was far away on the embankment of the east of the city to investigate the corruption of officials, was shocked when he heard the report, and said to Feng Yin, the county leader: "The untouchables are in rebellion, besieging the official mansion, and the city is taking advantage of the situation to make things happen, and the common people are unsafe, and the native soldiers cannot be stopped, so it seems that they can only turn to the Qing Navy for help." Feng Yin persuaded: "If there is a civil uprising in the locality, it is customary to apply to the assassin Shi to send troops to pacify it, bypassing Caozhou and directly asking for help from the Qing Navy, which is inconsistent with legal principles." Xue Rong said: "Caozhou is a hundred miles away, and more than 100 troops need to be signed by Yunzhou, and it is difficult to save the fire from far water." It is the duty of the herdsmen to relieve the people from hanging upside down, how dare Xue Rong cherish his feathers and hurt the people? This matter is up to me, and has nothing to do with the public. ”
Seeing that Xue Rong had made up his mind, Feng Yin and the others did not dare to persuade him again.
Yin Mu, the deputy envoy of the Qing Navy who presided over military affairs, received an official letter from Chengwu County asking for help, and immediately promoted him to gather generals, and appointed himself as the chief general of the rebel army, with Sang Rong as the deputy general and Li Mao as the staff officer, and led a battalion of 500 soldiers to Chengwu County to quell the chaos. The army entered the city and first blocked the four gates, forcibly dispersed the beggars besieging the county government, and rescued the officials of the county.
The vast majority of the more than 200 mobs were beggars of the beggars and scoundrels of the city, and there were also some Moks, one of whom was named Moka Zushi.
