Chapter Fifty-Three: The Leader
Wang Shan's thief camp has become a sea of fire, the thieves have no way to go to the sky, no way to go to the ground, except for a few people who took advantage of the chaos to escape, the rest have thrown themselves to the lake. The northerners are not familiar with the water, and they are in a dilemma when they look at the boundless lake. Those who knew how to water had already jumped into the lake with a bang and fled for their lives, and those who didn't know the water were also pushed into the lake by the accomplices behind them, and at first they shouted for help with their heads, and after a while, they were nowhere to be found. The big and small thieves wept in despair and wailed. The officers and soldiers behind them were in a hurry, and the desperate minions hugged each other, jumped into the lake together, and found a companion when they were dying. All of a sudden, on the banks of Onozawa, the sound of falling water and cries for help were endless.
"Under the command of the Daimyo Jingsui Battalion, Xu Wei ordered the army! Disarm or kill, surrender and die! Just as the thieves were desperate, the officers and soldiers behind shouted in unison. When the thief heard this, he did not think about it, but immediately threw down his weapon and fell to his knees. On the banks of Ohnozawa, thousands of thieves knelt down like a receding tide and shouted for mercy.
Xu Wei didn't dare to be careless, and the thieves were several times more than me. Once it is discovered that the Jingsui camp is only a few hundred men and horses, if there is anyone else in the lead, there will be chaos. Then he ordered the soldiers to die by the lake to form an encirclement situation, and sent people to collect the weapons, and the horsemen of Ma Tai's department watched from a distance, and once the incident happened, they immediately rushed to kill.
"Keep your head down! Death to the rioters! The soldiers were all loud, and they ordered all the thieves to bow their heads and kneel, and not to look up. At the same time, his hands moved in unison, and he quickly collected his weapons. Xu Weili was still holding the knife in both hands to maintain a fighting posture before the horseman. It's not time to be happy, and any oversight can lead to the loss of all your work. After a short time, the soldiers collected their weapons and reported them, but no trace of the bandit leader Wang Shan was found. Just when he was regretting, he saw two men dragging one person to come quickly, and Li Guan followed behind with two knives.
Knelt down in front of Xu Wei and reported: "The villain captured the bandit leader Wang Shan!" ”
As soon as the words came out, the audience was shocked! Wang Shan? This unkempt and embarrassed man is the bandit leader Wang Shan? Xu Wei was overjoyed in his heart, and blurted out, "How do you know that he is the bandit leader Wang Shan?" ”
"Adults know that Wang Shan and the villain are fellow villagers, although they don't know each other, they recognize their appearance, and they will never be wrong." Li Guan said categorically. It turned out that he and Wang Shan were both from Wuqiang County, although they had no contacts, but Wang Shan was paraded on the street for theft in the past, and then he should have been sentenced to assassination for committing murder.
"Your Excellency! The villain's surname is Liu, and he is called Liu Er because of his family's second line. It is a Yanzhou person, who was forced to join the gang by thieves, and he is not the leader of the bandits! Adults are merciful and spare! The man sitting on the ground suddenly looked up and shouted. Xu Wei saw that his face was full of filth and he couldn't see his original appearance, so he ordered the soldiers to wipe off the sludge on his face and carefully identify it. Li Guan's words are conclusive, and it is indeed Wang Shan.
The man was still arguing, refusing to admit that he was the leader of the bandits. Xu Wei carried a knife in one hand and a knife in the other, dragged him to the lake, placed him under a torch, and ordered the thief to identify him. In an instant, the crowd was furious! Almost a mutiny! Most of the thieves who were kneeling on the ground stood up and cursed, and some even rushed forward to take his life. The soldiers of the Jingsui battalion struck the back of their guns and knives before they suppressed it.
"Deputy Envoy Xu, all the brothers who killed innocent people and entered the thief camp to explore the wind have seen it. If the envoy does not believe him, ask them! Li Guan said. Xu Wei immediately summoned more than ten soldiers who had infiltrated the thief camp, and they all identified that person as Wang Shan, and scolded this person for exterminating humanity and killing innocents indiscriminately. Seeing that he couldn't deny it, Wang Shan was shocked and fell to the ground in a ball.
Xu Wei was overjoyed, this time not only broke through the thief camp, captured the thief, but also captured the bandit leader Wang Shan alive, which can be described as a complete achievement!
"Among these thieves, there are not a few people who are coerced into the gang, and there are also a lot of people who are forced to fall into the grass for their livelihood, how do you think they will be handled?" Zhang Qing, deputy commander of the Jingsui battalion, asked.
Xu Wei looked at the thousands of thieves who knelt on the ground, and did not respond for a while. At present, the Jingsui battalion is recruiting troops and strengthening its strength, and Shandong and his party have made a lot of gains. If you don't take this opportunity to expand, when? Moreover, most of the people who fell into the grass were forced to do so out of desperation or by threats and temptations. Handed over to the imperial court, it is just a distribution to fill the army, why bother to cheapen others? What's more, escort and transport of these thousands of people is also a problem, if it is not appropriate, and if it escapes, sooner or later it will be a thief. Although the treatment of my township is not as good as that of the forbidden army, the court is in charge of food and salary, and there are a lot of rewards for military exploits, so why not recruit on the spot? But there is one. Although most of these thieves are innocent people, there are also many vicious people who have been guilty of many crimes, and if they are formed into the army, they are afraid that they will be the black sheep of the herd.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard one of the thieves shouting loudly: "Is the official Mo from Xujiazhuang, Xiajin County, the Daimyo Mansion?" ”
The guard stepped forward with a stick, slammed it on the ground, and ordered him to bow his head and kneel. The thief didn't comply, and struggled and shouted: "There is a hero in Xujiazhuang, who is a general of the Western Army, guarding the border, and his reputation is far and wide, and the officials can recognize him!" ”
The soldier wanted to beat him again, but he was stopped by Xu Wei and ordered to bring him forward. asked, "Do you know Mrs. Xu?" ”
The man was beaten very lightly, slumped one shoulder, and replied in pain: "The old father of the family, who was originally a sergeant of the Western Army, was born and died for many years. Every word of the Heavenly Fu Gong will stand solemnly and weep bitterly. The official is surnamed Xu, and he is also a person from the Daimyo Mansion, so he must know Taigong. We are all people who deserve to die, but I beg your lord for one thing, this king thief kills the people and does many evils, I ask your lord for the person who died in vain, and show the head of this thief to the public! As soon as he said that, there was another commotion among the thieves, and countless people chanted "Kill Wang Shan" and kowtowed to Xu Wei.
Zhang Qing whispered: "Wang Shan has more than 10,000 people, for the disaster of Shandong, if he can be captured alive and sent to Tokyo, the credit will be greater." "How can Xu Wei not understand this truth? But seeing that the crowd was angry at this time, if you want these thieves to be sincere and obedient, you must let them know that I, Xu Wei, have the same heart as you!
"Left and right!" After finishing the voice, Xu Wei did not hesitate and shouted in a deep voice. "Wang Shan, the leader of the bandits, will be the head of the owl on the spot!"
Several soldiers rushed forward, dragged Wang Shan, who was like a dead dog, knelt in front of the thieves, two held his arms, one pulled his hair, and another strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, holding a simple knife, spit two mouthfuls into the palm, and wiped the knife on the sole of his shoe, ready to stop, looking at Xu Wei. As he nodded, the broadsword fell! The poignant scream makes people change their color! The knife was stuck in Wang Shan's neck, but it did not cut off the head. Wang Shan was in pain and wailed as hard as he could. It turned out that the man who executed him, the evil king's good deeds, deliberately caused him more pain.
"Your Excellency! Give it a good time! Wang Shan struggled hard, biting his lip, and blood flowed. Helplessly, he was held down by two soldiers and couldn't move. The knife that cut into the neck was still in the hand of the executioner, and as long as he moved, the pain was unspeakable.
"I'll give you a good time!" Xu Wei's voice fell to the ground, and he slashed down at the same time with a fierce knife!
