Chapter Ninety-Four: Encirclement and Annihilation (Part II)
In the spacious hall, a thick-bearded man sat at the top, and below sat several fierce-looking men, and the room was terrifyingly quiet, only the sound of breathing could be heard.
Sitting at the top is Ma Shengzhi, the chief soldier of Liuqing Town, who is known as Tu Bo, and below is the general Mo Kun, the guerrilla general Hong Bo, Lan Chengcai and others, and Wei Li sits in four places.
Ma Shengzhi obviously couldn't sit still, and then broke the silence. "Mo Kun, has that person been recruited? Did you find a hidden vault? ”
"Mr. Ma still doesn't believe in the craftsmanship of his brothers, as long as the brothers want to know, there is nothing that he can't figure out." General Mo Kun said with some gloom.
"This rich family really has some family background, and they have copied a lot of valuable things, and there must be treasures hidden." The guerrilla general Hong Bo was usually responsible for leading people to raid his home, so he naturally knew very well what valuable things he had gotten.
"That's good, let them hurry up, we have to rush to Yulin." Ma Shengzhi knew that he was in a hurry, so he didn't ask too much, so he had to continue to wait.
“?????????”
"Report, report to the general soldier, I have already asked, under the firewood room in the north, the brothers have smashed open the dark room, and there is indeed a lot of fine and soft, silver."
After a while, the interrogating soldiers came to report, asked where they were hiding, and confirmed that they would naturally not move at this time, so many commanders were there, and they must be let see before they could collect it.
"Haha, that's good, let's go, let's take a look."
Hearing the soldier's report, he found the hiding place of the rich family's silver, Ma Shengzhi was also happy, although the silver could not make Ma Shengzhi rich, but it was the silver hidden by the rich family, and there must be a lot of valuable things in it, which can be regarded as a small fortune.
Immediately, Ma Shengzhi and a few people came to the firewood room under the guidance of the soldiers, which had already been turned into a mess, these were not the problems that Ma Shengzhi should care about, and now Ma Shengzhi wanted to know how much silver was worth the things hidden inside. How much cash there is.
These are military expenses, and the amount issued by the imperial court has been deducted by itself, and there is not much left for the people below, if the amount of silver is considerable. You can also send some small money to the people below.
In a corner of the firewood room, a stone slab could be seen removed, and a fire flickered beneath the sloping steps. There were already soldiers holding torches inside, and Ma Shengzhi and a few people walked down the steps directly.
It is two zhang wide and three zhang long, and the shelves inside are scattered with silk and slang brocade and other materials. On one side there were several boxes on the ground, which were tightly sealed by large locks.
Ma Shengzhi checked in the dark room, a smile appeared on his vicious face, and he could see that he was quite satisfied, these things could indeed be regarded as all the belongings of a large family in the Qing Dynasty, but they had accumulated for several generations, even if he was Ma Shengzhi's general soldier, he would not underestimate these belongings.
Of course, the important gold and silver did not know how much, and it was not opened in the box, and then waved for the soldier to smash the lock open. The soldier didn't hesitate, and directly picked up the big knife and slashed at the lock.
The locks of the boxes were broken before they were broken, but no one moved, waiting for the soldiers to continue chopping down the next box, and it was harvest time.
There are a lot of homes nearby, and this one seems to be the most, and Ma Shengzhi, Mo Kun, and Lan Chengcai are also ready to see how much is gold, which is the measure of value.
"Bump, bang, bump???????"
The soldier had just finished smashing the box. Ma Shengzhi was about to open the box to see the harvest, but he didn't expect a violent vibration to hit, the entire dark room was shaking, and dust kept falling from the top of his head. Dust and mist filled the entire dark room.
Everyone in the dark room didn't know what was going on, and they panicked against the wall to avoid a possible collapse, the shaking was accompanied by a violent explosion, Ma Shengzhi and several generals were quite calm, as if they knew what was happening.
Ma Shengzhi has been a horse for half his life, and he is very familiar with the sound of explosions. Isn't this the sound of cannon explosions that I also have in my army, but how do I feel much more powerful than the cannon in the army, and I can shake this dark room underground into such a fluctuation, and the power can be imagined.
"General soldier, we may have been attacked by someone, this is definitely a cannonball." Hong Bo shouted anxiously.
"I know, go, hurry up, or those cubs won't see us, but it's over."
Ma Shengzhi naturally knew that someone must have sneaked up, but it was strange, there were sentinels within a radius of a few miles, and a large army pressed over, it was impossible for no one to pass through, and now the situation was urgent, and Ma Shengzhi couldn't let Ma Shengzhi think too much, so he ran sideways into the dark room, and Mo Kun and the others also followed.
However, the entrance to the dark room was obviously blocked by the firewood room destroyed by the force of the explosion, and the thick dust invaded everyone's throats and noses, so Ma Shengzhi had no choice but to retreat to the dark room and let the soldiers quickly dig it open with knives.
Ma Shengzhi's calm expression and cold voice, these subordinates know too well, every time at this time, the temper of the general soldier is about to explode, he can't control it, and he kills people one by one, Tu Bo is not so easy to deal with, whoever is unlucky to bump into it, most of them have no way to live.
The soldiers here are desperately digging the entrance of the dark room with knives, and Mo Kun, these generals and guerrillas, have some status and official positions, so naturally they will not be slaughtered by Ma Shengzhi's temper.
Now they were silent one by one, their heads spinning as fast as they could, thinking about how to gather the army that might be scattered after they got out, and as for who was calling, they didn't have to think about it before they got out.
There is also a backup thought, that is, it is obvious that the enemy's firepower will not be small, if you can't do anything, you must run away at the first time, otherwise, others can attack the border army of 20,000 or 30,000 people on the surface, although there are actually only more than 10,000 people, but even so, the other party does not have the strength to dare to make a move.
This kind of careful thinking is formed in everyone's mind, when they fought the French, they were still openly fighting, and now, almost most of the senior generals are inadvertently trapped in the dark room, and an army without generals must be the target of slaughter, and everyone has the bottom in their hearts.
In Ningming County, which was more than ten miles away from Ma Shengzhi, who was trapped in the dark room, Hu Lin received a report from Li Tie and the air force that the bombing target had been completed, and then ordered the assembled Pingshan Army to rush to Xixin Town.
Wang Daniu, Zhou Ding and others received the order, and quickly sent the order to set off, the large army has been repaired all night, and the march is mainly transported by truck, which is very little physical wear and tear on the soldiers, and the soldiers are in high spirits after resting all night.
Most of them are recruits, and although they can meet with wild beasts in the mountains, they are just animals, and now they are facing the regular army of the imperial court.
I was a little timid, and I was even more looking forward to when I would be able to have such strength as a peasant to fight against the regular army of the imperial court.
Not to mention the veterans, they look more stable than these recruits on the surface, but only they know how excited they are in their hearts.
The reward is not ambiguous at all, no matter who it is, as long as there is merit, it is too normal to be promoted by two or three levels, and I saw that the once honest people around me were mixed with the official uniform, and now they are full of domineering.
Where is there such a good thing, no, here only recognizes strength and merit, regardless of background, this is also what all veterans and some children sent by small rich people think. (To be continued.) )
