As the wooden wall was torn down, the 500 ironclad soldiers who were originally outside the wooden wall also rushed in, and the ironclad army who were blocking the door surrounded the bandits in the middle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Seeing this, Scar and Duyan understood that they had no hope of escaping, so they concentrated on fighting Yue Yun.

As soon as the two of them worked hard, Yue Yun immediately felt that it was difficult, but fortunately, he was young and strong, but he could also hold on.

Soon, the ironclad army killed and arrested the bandits in the cottage, only the ones who were originally holding bows and arrows on the mountain slipped away early to see that the situation was not good. But this is enough, in this battle, the ironclad army exterminated more than 1,200 bandits and captured more than 400 people, especially the three bandit leaders, none of them slipped out of their ears. This kind of credit is enough for the ironclad army to receive 20 taels of silver per person this time!

What is the concept of 20 taels of silver? Now the regular army of the Great Song Dynasty has a salary of 30 taels a year, which is only under the regulations, you must know that after a series of exploitation by Shangguan, those regular soldiers will definitely get much less. Taking 20 taels is equivalent to a soldier's salary for a year, and the consumption level at that time was low, 20 yuan a day for a person is enough, and less than 100 yuan a day for a household, these 20 taels are basically enough for a family's expenses for a year!

Let's say that Scar and One-Eyed are surrounded in the middle by the China Iron Armor Army. Seeing that the general trend was gone, the two put down the weapons in their hands and said: "My lord, as long as you promise me and the two of us one thing, the two of us will disarm and surrender, otherwise we will definitely fight to the death!" ”

At this moment, Wang Yue walked up, saw the two of them and said, "You two are already turtles in the urn, what else can you do." But I'm in a good mood today, so I'll listen to you for the time being. Wang Yue said this purely for pretending, although it is already a sure thing to take down these two people, but these two people are fighting to the death, and it is not good that they will really let the ironclad army kill and injure one or two people, which will outweigh the losses.

When the two heard the first half of Wang Yue's words, they picked up the weapon in their hands again, and then when they heard the second half, they put the weapon down again. Then he said: "My lord, it is not a pity that the two of us have done a lot of evil and died over the years, but many brothers on this mountain have never killed anyone, I hope that these adults can give them a way to live, and they are also forced up by life!" In the end, Scar even had the urge to kneel down and beg Wang Yue. You must know that this is the Song Dynasty, and you don't have to kneel when you see the emperor.

"Well, I can't grant you that request. I'm just a temporary worker in Xingyuan, and I don't have this right, but when the time comes, I can ask the prefect for a favor, but I can't guarantee what the result will be. Wang Yue heard Scar's request, and immediately raised Scar's status in his heart by several levels. The leader of the bandits who can give up himself to seek the safety of his subordinates, but it is difficult to see, Wang Yue judged that Scar is a person who values righteousness. But appreciation is appreciation, Wang Yue is just a temporary worker after all, and he can't be the master, at most, he will say a good word to him in front of the prefect.

Scar didn't have much hope in the first place, but when he heard Wang Yue say this, he was already very satisfied. Immediately, the two of them threw the weapons in their hands to the ground and grabbed them.

Wang Yue's suppression of bandits was a great success! The next time is time to clean up the battlefield and settle the loot.

Under the leadership of the two leaders of Scar, Wang Yue and the others easily found the place where the bandits hid the silver, and this group of bandits no longer knew how long they had been entrenched in this mountain and how many rich merchants they had robbed. Under Wang Yue's inventory, the total of all kinds of property was 200,000 yuan, that is, 200,000 taels. Seeing this Wang Yue, he was very happy, and said in his heart: "No wonder everyone wants to be a bandit, the money is fast." ”

The battlefield was cleaned up, Wang Yue went down the mountain with the majesty of the ironclad army, as for the corpses of the bandits on the mountain, it was not his business, he only had more than 1,200 people, not only to escort the prisoners, but also to carry the soldiers who were injured by the big stones, how could there be idlers to care about these dead bodies. I can only wait until I return to Xingyuan and ask the prefect to send someone to clean it up.

It was already approaching dusk after descending the mountain, so Wang Yue had to order to spend the night here and wait until the next day to return. Otherwise, if you open it now, by the time you reach the front of the city, it will be night, and the gates of the city will have already been closed.

Let's say that on the second day, Wang Yue came to the city gate with the ironclad army, but found that the city gate was still closed. I can't help but be puzzled, it stands to reason that the city gate should have been opened at this hour. So he stepped forward and shouted at the city tower: "Brother upstairs, please open the city gate!" ”

After shouting a few times, a lazy voice came from upstairs.

"Who's down there?"

"In the next is the official designated by the prefect of Xingyuan to suppress bandits!"

"Bandit officer? Why don't I remember that my Great Song Dynasty has this official position, and your Excellency is not going to rebel when he leads the army to stand under the city? Let's leave early! As soon as the voice from the upper part of the city fell, there was a burst of laughter.

Wang Yue didn't understand at this time that the closing of the city gate was aimed at himself. wanted to lead the army up the mountain to suppress the bandits, this was a meritorious thing for Xingyuan, but he didn't expect to be treated like this, and he was not angry. But after thinking about it again, I am afraid that there is something strange in this, Wang Yue himself and the prefect are a faction, and no matter how the prefect is, he will never lock himself out of the city. He ordered people to put on cloth clothes and enter from other city gates to find the prefect, this Xingyuan is located in the traffic artery, outside the north gate is the hill, the general flow of people will not be very large, but the east and west city gates are facing the official road, if these two gates are closed for no reason, then the guards on the city gate will be punished. Therefore, Wang Yue felt that the other city gates were definitely open, and the guards on the north gate were definitely closed for themselves.

After sending people out, Wang Yue led the army to camp a mile outside the city gate, Wang Yue wandered around the army when he had nothing to do, but heard everyone in the army complaining about Xingyuan.

"You say, let's go up the mountain to fight the bandits for Xingyuan, but people won't even let us enter the city, isn't it too much of a loss?"

"Yes, I really don't know what these officials think, they didn't build this cottage with 5,000 people, and we captured it with more than 1,000 people, and there was not much loss, what a great merit this is! Why do you think they're so embarrassed to let us in? ”

These words were heard by Scar's people, and they laughed and said, "Haha, five thousand people, fart." The last time the official army came to suppress the bandits, there were no more than 500 people combined. A few of our brothers rushed down with people, but before they could get to the front, the officers and soldiers ran away! ”

Although Wang Yue had been mentally prepared, he was also shocked when he heard that the officials and soldiers referred to 500 people as 5,000. Although in ancient wars, they often talked about the number of their own troops for the sake of momentum. For example, during the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao claimed to have an army of 800,000, but there were hundreds of thousands. This official army is only five hundred, and he dares to say it tenfold, Wang Yue feels that he still underestimates the shameless courage of this official.
