Chapter 430: Death to those who are in turmoil
Lu Xingkang made it clear that there were thousands of people in his village, and there were only more than 300 men, and he brought out the hundreds of people who could fight, and the rest were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they couldn't do anything.
After discussing with Nalu and others, Shi Dazhi decided to break this stockade, if what Lu Xingkang said is true, the harvest should not be small, after all, the amount of money and grain hoarded by thousands of people in the village must be considerable. They have been wandering around Fengshun for two days, and they broke two small villages before, but unfortunately there is not much food, so they just took this village to knife.
After sending a group of men to report to the camp, Shi Dazhi led his troops to his village under the leadership of Lu Xingkang. Lu Xingkang is like a dog, following Shi Dazhi around, serving as much as he can before and after the saddle, his face is always a sycophant, and his humble performance makes Shi Dazhi decide to take his village and leave him alive, after all, with the help of this local snake, they will have eyes when they are active in Fengshun, and the efficiency is much higher, no longer the blind cat that ran around before, and could not find a village for half a day.
The dozen or so villagers who were captured did not show much indignation after knowing that the villagers were mainly offering the village to the Taiping army, and they honestly followed behind the team. The village is called Yibo Village, not far, only ten miles away from here. There was a Qing army post along the way, but the post had already run out.
According to Lu Xingkang's confession, after Wu Liuqi, the chief soldier of Chaozhou, returned from Huizhou, he gave an order to all villages in each county, saying that they should refuse to hold on to the villages, and attack the Taiping army's squads. This order made the large and small villages through which the Taiping army passed not dare to open their doors and surrender. They did not dare to provide money and food to the Taiping army, because they were afraid that the Qing army would settle accounts after the autumn. Three years ago, the Qing army not only slaughtered the city of Chaozhou, but also went through the knife from county to county. As a result, the surviving people in Chaozhou were very afraid of the Qing army.
Along the way, Lu Xingkang couldn't help but beg Shi Dazhi to let himself go after seizing the village, Shi Dazhi told him that as long as he cooperated honestly, he could spare his life after the incident, and hinted that once the city was built, not only would all the money, money, and food be taken away, but all the people in the village, both men and women, would also be moved. This matter is his own responsibility, if he does not comply, then the Taiping army will not be left behind. I don't know if Lu Xingkang understood this. Wei Wei was silent, but there was no nervousness or fear on his face, and he knew that he had no right to agree or not.
In less than an hour, the people came to a mountain range. A stockade looms on the ridge. The scale is not very large, a river passes through the east side of the stockade, and because it is late, the fire can be seen everywhere.
Lu Xingkang pointed to the stockade and shouted at Shi Dazhi as if flattering: "Master Jun, this is a small village." ”
"I don't need to remind you how to do it."
Nalu drove his horse to Lu Xingkang's side, not hiding his killing intent at all, and the long knife "Huo" came out of its sheath: "If you say the wrong word." Grandpa immediately took your dog's life! ”
Lu Xingkang didn't dare to look at the unsheathed blade, nodded with a bitter face, and said, "Don't worry, Master Jun." ”
"That's good. Let's go to the village! ”
Shi Dazhi came from behind and rushed to the stockade first.
Yibo village because of the small scale, so there is only one east gate, that is, there is a river in front of the village gate, all the way, from time to time can see some people back to the village, these people may have suffered from Lu Xingkang, far away to see the owner of the village with a team of cavalry running over, scared to stand on the side of the road and dare not move. There were also children who were scared to cry, this scene made Lu Xingkang very embarrassed, but fortunately, his skin was thick enough, and he didn't look at both sides pretending to be, and swaggered straight to the gate.
"Open the door, I'm back!"
As soon as he arrived at the Zhaimen, Lu Xingkang shouted angrily, full of anger, Shi Dazhi and they all admired this person a little when they heard it, and secretly said that it was a pity that this person didn't do the show.
There are several Zhaiding on the city gate, and there is also a close confidant of Lu Xingkang, named Tuesday. Hearing someone shouting under the door, Tuesday lazily stretched out his head to look down, but saw a large group of cavalry standing under the city, and the voice of the person who spoke was very familiar, but because it was dark, Tuesday didn't hear who it was for a while, so he couldn't help asking: "Who are you?" ”
"Blind your dog's eyes, don't you see that I'm the owner of the village!" Lu Xingkang cursed, and pointed the horse whip in his hand upward: "Open the door quickly!" ”
"Ah, the owner of the village is back!"
On Tuesday, I heard it clearly this time, it was not who the owner of the village could have this majesty, and hurriedly shouted to those villagers: "Quick, the owner of the village is back, open the door quickly!" ”
"Wait a minute!"
When a few villagers heard this, they were about to go down to open the door, but an older villager stopped them. Seeing this, Tuesday couldn't help but be furious: "Qin Si, what are you doing!" ”
Qin Si knew his identity, carefully accompanied a smile, glanced down, and said softly to Tuesday: "How can those people behind the owner of the village look at Yansheng, it seems that they are not soldiers in the county. ”
"Huh?"
Hearing him say this on Tuesday, he glanced down again, and suddenly became a little puzzled: Why haven't I seen any of the people behind the owner of the village, and it seems that the clothes are not soldiers of the Qing Dynasty?
"What are you doing all the time? If you don't open the door again, you won't be killed! ”
Lu Xingkang expected that as long as he called the door, the door of the village would be opened immediately, and he saw that there was something strange on the faces of several villagers around him, and he couldn't help but be nervous. was a little anxious at the moment, and scolded the city: "On Tuesday, you are a son of a bitch, and if you don't open the door to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will send your mother-in-law to the county!" ”
The county is stationed in the green battalion, can it be good for the mother-in-law to go?
When he heard this, his face immediately changed, and he didn't care if the city was suspicious, he poked his head out, and couldn't wait to shout: "The owner of the village is angry, the owner of the village is angry, the small one will open the door for you!" After speaking, he pushed Qin Si away and pointed at the other villagers: "Don't hurry up and open the door for the owner of the village!" ”
Those few villagers didn't dare to hesitate, they didn't think so much, the following was obviously the owner of the village, and they didn't dare not open the door with a few of them. The men looked at each other, took three steps and made two steps, and ran down the city.
Seeing this, although Qin Si was reluctant, he didn't dare to stop him. The bolt of the door was quickly removed by the Zhaiding, and then with a "squeak", the door was slowly opened.
"Qianhu, the city gate is open, do you want to rush in!"
When the crack in the door was open enough to allow only one person and one horse to rush in, Nalu jumped a little and tried to lead people into the city, but was stopped by Shi Dazhi. The door of the village has been opened, why do you need to do more, if you rush into it so quickly, the village must be frightened, at this time it is dark, but it is not easy to clean up the turmoil, if you just enter the village in such an open and honest way, and then in the name of Lu Xingkang to gather the men in the village to capture them in one fell swoop, and then loot the village generously when it is dawn.
After the gate of the village was completely opened, Tuesday rushed out quickly, but Lu Xingkang was whipped on the head, which made him hurt so badly, but he didn't dare to scream, so he could only curse a few words in his heart.
"Master Jun, please!"
Lu Xingkang snorted, and changed it to a humble smile and respectfully invited Dazhi to lead people into the village. Dazhi nodded at him and motioned for his subordinates to enter the city.
The cavalry under Dazhi also ignored Lu Xingkang and these somewhat dazed villagers, and galloped into the stockade. Those captured Zhaiding were sandwiched in the middle, and the front and back were how the Taiping soldiers with knives dared to speak out. When I passed through the walled gate, I didn't dare to say a word when I saw those familiar companions, but some clever eyes blinked. It's just that the companions didn't understand what the other party meant, and they only felt that these soldiers and horses brought by the owner of the village were so domineering yesterday, and they all looked fierce and vicious, and they didn't know where the soldiers and horses were, I hope they don't harm our village.
After his subordinates were almost in, Shi Dazhi glanced at a few guards on the left and right, and suddenly the guards drew their long knives and pointed at the villagers who opened the door: "All squat, those who dare to make trouble and scream are dead!" ”
Urgent notice: Grandma died at half past seven, and the funeral will take three days. The bones will not be broken in these three days, but there will not be many updates, and only one change can be guaranteed a day, with the number of words ranging from two thousand to three thousand. I rushed out of the update chapters in the past three days in four hours, and I didn't have time to go online the day after tomorrow, so I released them on a regular basis.
