Chapter Eighty-Five: The Verge

After listening to Erya, Sun Yuan was moved in his heart. Fei Hong is a submissive bastard, this kind of person, he greatly despises. But he had obviously escaped from the dangerous city, but in order to repay his kindness, he re-entered Fengyang without hesitation.

No matter how unbearable he was before, from this point of view, he was a man with responsibility and worthy of respect.

This is also the reason why he was able to become the leader of that group of military men.

A manly man, if there is a kindness, he will repay it. Since Fei Hong can do this, how can I, Sun Yuan, be left behind.

Indeed, to save Fei Hong now is to take a risk. But if I Sun Yuan can't even live and die with others, how can I win people's hearts in this upcoming troubled era, and how can I gain a foothold?

In troubled times, if you want to get the following of others. Or, you have to have a certain amount of power; Either have a strong personality.

Sun Yuan is just a mustard commoner, and he can only spend time on the latter.

Moreover, this group of low-ranking officers is the foundation of his future beginning, and he must not give up. If he can save them from trouble this time, Fei Hong will also go with him in the future.

Thinking of this, Sun Yuanyi gritted his teeth: "Erya, don't worry, Sun Yuan is desperate for this life, and he wants to save your father." ”

"Thank you so much, thank you so much."

"Don't cry, lead the way." The door slammed open.

When everyone outside saw Sun Yuan, they asked, "Master, are you done?" ”

Sun Yuan had no intention of laughing at them: "I have something urgent to go out." With that, he pulled the second girl and walked out.

Several other soldiers were taken aback, and shouted at the same time: "Master, what are you going out to do in this city like this?" The brethren are all red-eyed outside, and they have wounded you carefully. ”

Xiao Ding also leaned over: "Master Sun, Brother Liu said, tell us to take care of you, you go out now, if you let him know, it is not appropriate." ”

Sun Yuan was anxious, how could he let them block the way, just now that Gao Jie killed the woman in front of him, and when he saw the blood, the violent breath in his chest could no longer surge, and his empty hand was on the handle of the knife, slanting his eyes: "Where are you afraid, I also have a knife in my hand, if someone talks nonsense, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless, and you are no exception." ”

Only then did everyone remember that last night, this master who seemed to be polite and polite on the surface, and his witty speech was also a knife master, and his skills were not bad, and he could even make Liu Zongmin suffer a small loss.

Suddenly, no one dared to stop him.

Ding Sheng followed, and Sun Yuan sneered: "Xiao Ding, you want to stop me too?" ”

Xiao Ding shook his head: "Don't dare, General Liu said, from today onwards, I will be your personal soldier, where you go, Xiao Ding will naturally follow." ”

Sun Yuan knew that Ding Sheng was Liu Zongmin's eyeliner by his side, after all, he had only been in the gang for a day, and he couldn't gain the full trust of the thief army, so he said: "If you want to follow, it's up to you." ”

Out of the official office of the Ministry of Households, the streets were full of soldiers carrying bags and dragging women. After a day of slaughtering the city, under the light of the fire, everyone's eyes were red, like beasts lurking in the shadows.

Seeing Sun Yuan dragging Erya by his side, more soldiers shouted and pounced to get a piece of the pie. Fortunately, Xiao Ding was there, and after a while, he reported Sun Yuan's identity, and those soldiers who had been completely beastly did it.

Another person also scolded dissatisfiedly: "Our army has made the greatest contribution to fight Fengyang this time, but the territory that can be drawn is the smallest, and we will go out of the city early tomorrow morning, are we raised by our mother?" Xiao Ding, Brother Liu is also confused, what to do with a master, so stingy, what about sharing him as a woman? ”

Needless to say, this area is the area that the peasant army allocated to Liu Zongmin's troops to loot.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound in the distance, although the sound was not loud, but it seemed abrupt in the cries of the city.

"Over there, over there, Daddy is over there." Erya cried and shouted: "This is the sound of their shotguns." ”

Although the Ming Dynasty was in a period of alternating hot and cold weapons, because the quality of the bird guns made by the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court was too poor, explosions occurred frequently, and many soldiers were blinded. Also, after this thing is fired, it is really troublesome to reload the sub-drug, and after one shot, before you can finish reloading, the enemy is already in front of you. By that time, you'll have a shotgun in your hand worse than a burning stick. Therefore, most of the firearms battalions of the officers and soldiers are just decorations, and no one is willing to let the kind of household goods that cripple themselves before they shoot the enemy.

As for the peasant army, they treated the muskets as garbage.

Hearing this barrage of gunfire, there must be officers and soldiers over there.

At the same time, the murderous peasant army sought the direction and rushed with weapons.

Sun Yuan was sweating and followed Erya towards the front. The gunshots didn't sound far away, but the alley twisted and turned, with Er Ya leading the way in front, and he and Xiao Ding finally caught up in front.

Rushing through a long alley, there was a small courtyard in front of me, and many eager peasant soldiers stood outside the courtyard. The adobe walls had been torn down, and the inside was already filled with smoke.

After another volley of guns, I saw a peasant soldier stumbling out, covered in blood, obviously shot.

Xiao Ding grabbed him and asked, "Zhang Laoqi, what's wrong inside?" ”

Zhang Laoqi knew Ding Sheng, spit out a few teeth, blood gushed out from his mouth, a gun pierced his cheeks, and his voice was slurred: "Xiao Ding, there are more than 20 people in it, they look like soldiers from the government, all carrying muskets." Damn, it's miserable...... Six or seven brothers were shot and caught. ”

At this time, Fei Hong's voice came from inside, still extremely painful: "Brother outside, if you have something to say, we are not going to oppose you, and we will not kill the brothers who fall into our hands. All you need to do is get out of the way, and I'll let them out. ”

Sun Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart: It's all like this, this Fei Hong still wants to settle things.

Sure enough, the donkey roared angrily: "Brother Fei, we have already killed several people in the thief army." Blood feuds, why do you still want to make peace with them? Is it possible to change you? Anyway, life and death are only a knife, even if we die today, we have to die like a man. ”

Hearing her father's voice, Erya was about to cry again, Sun Yuan covered her mouth and shouted: "Don't make a sound, since I'm here, I can save your father, and I will do everything." ”

Er Ya nodded and didn't speak.

The smoke cleared a little, and when I looked through the cracks, at the other end, Fei Hong and more than 20 of his subordinates were lined up in a small three-story phalanx, all holding muskets more than one meter long in their hands, and a lit fire rope was hanging from the bolt.

Several captives were tied up on the ground in front of the gun, and blood was pouring from their bodies. Because of the severe injury, some people kept moaning, and some people shouted loudly: "Help, help!" Shouting with snot and tears on his face. Seeing that they still have human heads on them, they should be the people who were killed during the previous massacre. When this group of people killed the old, weak, women and children, they fought bravely one by one, and when they fell into the hands of the enemy and faced the threat of death, they were so unbearable.

"Don't scream, don't scream!" Wen Laosan kept kicking them with his feet.

"Arquebus, three-stage shooting, this Fayon also knows how to use musketeers on the battlefield." Sun Yuan couldn't help but nodded.

"Go in and save people, don't hurt my brother!" Although the enemy's muskets were not small and the price they paid was great, the red-eyed peasant army still shouted to rush inside.

Because there were so many people, they blocked the door.

Suddenly, another row of guns came in, and the sound of the projectiles "creeping" through the air made people's cold hairs stand up.

"Coaxing", the peasant army, which was still fighting bravely just now, turned around and ran at the same time, almost knocking Sun Yuan to the ground.

At this time, someone shouted from behind: "Brother Liu is here, all disperse!" ”

Sun Yuan pulled Er Ya and Xiao Ding to the side together, and saw Liu Zongmin riding a tall horse, with more than 100 well-equipped guards behind him. Unlike the group of ordinary peasant soldiers just now, who were poorly dressed and many of them only had a waist knife in their hands, more than 100 people were Liu Zongmin's family members, all of them were wearing new leather armor, holding spears in their hands, straddles the Yanling knife at their waists, and carried bows and arrows on their backs.

Liu Zongmin looked at the situation in front of him and sank his face: "Bastard things, they are all old people, everyone is a firearm, and you are still in a hurry to get up and let people shoot." Can't you set it on fire? ”

A peasant army walked up crying: "Brother Liu, my brother has fallen into their hands, as soon as he sets fire, he won't burn my brother, that's my own brother!" ”

Liu Zongmin's strange eyes looked at him, and with a wave of his hand, the more than 100 people behind him drew out their big bows at the same time, pulled out a circle with a "drink", and pointed to the courtyard: "Since the day of the rebellion, we have treated ourselves as dead, and the archers are ready!" ”

Even his own people should be shot together.

"Brother Liu, no, no!" The soldier fell to his knees with a thud, crying and shouting.

At the same time, twenty or thirty more soldiers knelt on the ground and pleaded loudly.

There are about three sources of the composition of the Chuang army, one is the Shaanxi peasants; the second is the Shanxi Border Army; The third is the population in Henan. Regardless of the previous origin of the soldiers in the intruding army, after joining the peasant army, they were all organized together as a family unit to facilitate command. After all, there were too many dialects in ancient China, and the accent of Shaanxi people may not be able to be understood by Shanxi people. When Henan people speak, it is simply a foreign language for Anhui people.

Could it be that when there is a war, the army still has to assign them interpreters?

Therefore, generally speaking, the establishment of the Ming Dynasty army was mostly organized together by one place and one party, and there was no mixture.

Since then, a unit, soldiers and soldiers have been involved in a thousand things. As for the border troops who surrendered to Shanxi and broke into the army, who have not been soldiers in the guard for several generations, many of them are even related by blood.

For a while, Liu Zongmin knelt in front of him.

"Then do you want to rebel, well, very good, quickly dodge, or even you will be shot together." Liu Zongmin sneered and ordered: "Archer, move the direction down one foot, and shoot the group of things in front of you first." ”

"Yes!" More than a hundred archers flattened their bows at the same time, and shiny arrows pointed ahead.

Looking at the red light in his eyes, Sun Yuan knew that Liu Zongmin would not hesitate to order the arrows to be released.

They eat dogs, and Sun Yuan naturally doesn't care. But Fei Hong and the others are now crowded in the courtyard in front of them, the place is cramped, and there is no room to move and dodge. Under ten thousand arrows, no one can live.

He lifted his breath sharply and shouted, "Slow! ”
