Chapter 17: Destroying the Bandits (Part II)
"What, you took refuge in the government."
"Lure the wolf in!"
The faces of the five little leaders changed, and they couldn't help but get nervous.
"What, you want to fight with us adults?" Junko smiled innocently, but the long knife in his hand slowly raised.
"Well, are they dead or falling!" Zhao Xi's chuckle came from outside the door, and Zhao Yi rushed over with the two of them.
"Your Excellency!" Junko said respectfully.
"Junko, you're doing a good job."
"This qiē is all an adult's strategy, and I just made a small effort." Junko said with a smile on her honest face.
"Listen, more than 40 people in the middle of the cottage have been killed by us, and we are rushing to the gate, if the cottage is taken, there is no need for you to surrender. I've heard that the five of you are good at it, so I made you surrender, otherwise, you will be the same as the three masters. ”
According to Junko, these five people are all good, far above themselves. The women who are not caught by rape or adultery on weekdays have been staying in the cottage because of their good martial arts, so as not to be an eyesore when they loot villages and towns. Zhao Yi felt that these people could be taken for their own use.
The five men looked at each other, and finally they all threw down their weapons and surrendered.
"Isn't it unconvinced? I see that your posture just now, it seems to be the battle formation of the army soldiers, you are the army sergeants, no, deserters? Zhao Yi suddenly asked.
"No, we are not deserters, we are framed and abandoned." One of the five said loudly, his face full of anger.
"No matter what you did before, you are all my soldiers now, and you must obey orders in the future." Zhao Yi said coldly.
The cottage gate is also in the confrontation, the soldiers outside the village have no equipment, in the face of the ten-meter-high wooden wall, the mountain bandits on the wall do not dare to attack, the two parties have to scold each other.
"Brother Feng, someone has come to support us."
The little leader in charge of the walled wall heard the brothers around him speak, and couldn't help but be stunned: We have no one in the cottage, where is the support?
"Brother Feng, we are brothers who have just joined the gang, and the three masters let us assist in the defense." A majestic man came to Brother Feng and said.
"Oh, it turned out to be you, how can I say where the reinforcements came from, with your assistance, we are not afraid of these turtle grandchildren below. Although the wall is 100 meters wide, but the walls on both sides are covered with spikes, they can't stand when they come up, and the only thing that needs to be defended is less than 50 meters in the middle, the gate of the wall has been sealed, these turtles without ladders and equipment don't want to come up, these fools are actually riding on horses, can they come in on siege horses? ”
"That's, that's!" Dahan said as he watched his brother go up the wall.
"Do it!" The big man shouted, and the long knife in his hand stabbed at Brother Feng.
"Poof!"
"You! You! Brother Feng never thought that the big man who was talking to him would stab him, and he felt that his body was cold, and he looked at each other with wide eyes.
"Zhao Qingshan, the head of the government soldiers!" After saying a word, the big man drew his long knife.
Brother Feng seemed to understand when he heard this, and gradually closed his eyes after falling.
"Damn, you sneak up on me!"
"They're not their own people, kill them!"
When Zhao Qingshan made a move, the rest of the people also took action, most of them were killed with one blow, and a small number of them did not stab the vital point, and immediately slashed and killed each other.
"Everyone, kill them, Chief Lin Shi, you take someone to hang up the walled gate." Zhao Qingshan shouted loudly.
Zhao Qingshan took the lead, although a small part was not killed, but it did not affect the overall situation, and after a while, the mountain bandits on the walled wall were wiped out, and the gate was also twisted by a winch.
"The chiefs and captains of the army take care of their subordinates, and after entering, they are not allowed to kill indiscriminately, they are not allowed to hide their finances, and they are not allowed to damage the houses everywhere. Enter the village! Zhao Mang, who was outside the village, said loudly.
Nearly 300 people, led by Zhao Fei and a few others, rushed everywhere, preparing to clear the remnants of the mountain bandits, but in fact, these mountain bandits could not be found and had been wiped out.
"Zhao Qingshan, you take these people to continue to guard the gate of the village, report immediately if there is a situation, Zhao Changjian, bring the injured brother down and bandage the wounds." Zhao Mang came to the gate of the village and said to it.
After giving the order, Zhao Mang rushed to the mountain bandit hall on the right.
"Big brother, we captured all the mountain bandits who came down the mountain, and we did not have any casualties, only five of the mountain bandits were injured, and three hundred horses were captured." Zhao Mang saw Zhao Xun sitting in the hall, Shunzi and the five mountain bandits standing on both sides of the hall, and the two village warriors were also guarding the door, and it seemed that the bandit leader in the hall had been resolved, so he said loudly.
"Oh, tell me about it." Zhao Xun let go of his worries in his heart and said calmly.
Zhao Mang said about the forced landing of Ergouzi and others.
Zhao Xun saw the disapproving expressions of the five mountain bandit leaders, and said with a smile: "Do the five have any ideas?" ”
One of them hurriedly shook his head, but another said: "If you are a trained soldier, you will never surrender lightly, and a hundred cavalry will definitely rush out of your dismounted footmen." ”
Zhao Mang was about to defend himself, but Zhao Yi stopped him and said: "It's true, but we are also untrained villagers and ordinary people, and even many people have not killed anyone, and they can take down a hundred bandits without blood, I think it's already very good." ”
Then Zhao Xi asked the names of the five people, and the person who spoke was more direct, named Li Lingfeng, and the other four were Luo Li, He Fang, Lin Luo, and Xiao Changshan. The five didn't say which army it belonged to, and Zhao Xi didn't want to inquire about other people's privacy, so he didn't ask.
The five of them originally thought that Zhao Yi was a government soldier, but they didn't expect that the other party turned out to be a young man from Xinyan Town, and they couldn't help but be surprised, and they admired Zhao Xi who commanded them even more.
"Big brother, all the mountain bandits in the cottage have been cleaned up, except for the captives, the captured women and the kidnapping tickets have been rescued, and I have also cleaned up the town below the mountain and captured more than ten mountain bandit sentry agents." It didn't take long for Zhao Jie to come over to report, and Zhao Fei and the others also came back.
"One group guarded the gate, and the rest took the captives to the open space on the left. Uncle Li, have the finances and grain and grass of the cottage been counted? ”
"The inventory came out, there were 130,000 taels of silver, 5,000 taels of gold, and 90,000 taels of copper, but there was not much food, only 300,000 catties, which was enough for more than 1,000 people to use in a month."
"Uncle Li, you let the guy in the cottage cook for everyone, and when the second brother and them come up, they eat together, and they are still hungry after working for a few hours."
Zhao Xi followed Uncle Li to the place where the old scar stored his money, looking at the silver, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, he couldn't buy food with money, he only knew*.
An hour and a half later, Zhao Xiong's third team felt that Crouching Tiger Mountain, a group of people were lazily staggering when they entered the cottage, and Zhao Yan shook his head secretly.
"Brothers have worked hard, now go to the left field, and give everyone a silver reward later."
As soon as Zhao Xi's words fell, Qingzhuang, who was paralyzed on the ground, immediately had the spirit and ran to the east venue.
"My lord, it's not the best strategy to drive troops with Eli." Following behind Zhao Xi, Li Lingfeng, who had just surrendered, said.
Zhao Yi smiled and said: "I know this, now they are still farmers, only Eli drives soldiers, and they will be trained strictly in the future." When the time comes, you'll have to rely on Ling Feng's power. ”
Except for the group of fifty people who stayed behind to guard the gate of the village, the rest of the four hundred and fifty people gathered on the left side, looking at Zhao Xi on the simple high platform with eager eyes, it should be said that they all looked at the box at Zhao Xi's feet.
"Today, we took the Crouching Tiger Cottage, only three people died, seven were injured, and many people did not have weapons in their hands. Even so, the bounty will still be given to everyone. The dead brothers were given a pension of 10 taels of silver each, and the wounded were given 3 taels, and among them, 50 were meritorious servicers, and each of them was given 2 to 5 taels. ”
"Let's give you a silver reward!"
As soon as the words fell, the audience suddenly rang out, and they all let go of their worries when they came, worried that they would not be able to get the money, after all, the current officials collect a lot of money, and there are no people who take money outside, not to mention that many people have not used a knife or a gun, and they are even more worried.
"Zhao Qingshan, kill three enemies, one leader, and lead people to take down the walled gate, and reward five taels of silver! People are on duty, and the silver is kept first, and it will be sent later. ”
"Zhang Erniu, kill four enemies, reward four taels of silver!"
A sturdy and slightly honest man walked quickly to the stage, took the two taels of silver and two copper coins handed by Zhao Xi, and grinned fiercely.
"Well done!" Zhao Yi patted Zhang Erniu's shoulder and complimented.
"Thank you, sir!" Zhang Erniu happily took the money and went down, and the others who watched it were excited.
"Xu Zhang, kill four enemies, reward four taels of silver!"
"Sun Ping, kill three enemies, reward three taels of silver!"
