Chapter 54: The Death of the Drawer
Huang Yang led more than ten horsemen out of the door soon after he heard the sound of shouting and killing in the distance, not as if the sound just now was a little weak, but this time it was a sound that could only be made by real fierce battles, the closer he was, the clearer he heard the shouting and killing.

Huang Yang and the others rushed here, but they saw a group of thieves under black pressure, all with torches, and Huang Yang roughly counted, at least eighty people. A lean horse thief in the rear did not rush in, but watched the battle from behind. Isn't that the monkey, but where did the horseman go?
At this moment, Chai Daguang, the horse smoker, is fighting fiercely with Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi is not too familiar with ancient battles, and at the beginning, he relied on his fierceness to be able to compete with Chai Daguang, but after a long time, it was a little unsupportable.
At this time, the shortcomings of the circle on his side are revealed, even if he is a little weak, but he can't retreat, he can only hold on, if there is a leak on his side, it will easily lead to the shaking of the entire circle array.
"Dog officer, phew!" Chai Daguang spat on a mouthful of saliva. Raising his waist knife again, Xiao Yi had to raise the Qi family knife to block.
Xiao Yihu's left hand and right hand were held on the handle of the Qi family's knife, and the knife was held much more firmly with both hands, and he quickly slashed over, but it was blocked by Chai Daguang's vertical waist knife, Chai Daguang laughed, as if he looked down on Xiao Yi. Then he didn't hesitate at all, and he slashed back.
This Chai Daguang's move is very simple, it is just a chop, but the strength is not comparable to Xiao Yi, and it is also slowly suppressing Xiao Yi.
In the rest of the places, due to the large gap in numbers, the horse thieves slowly began to reduce casualties, and Xiao Yi also had a death on his side. This person followed Xiao Yi to survive the defense of the Jingshi, and followed Xiao Yi all the way over, this is the first old subordinate to die here.
This man was caught off guard and let a horse thief who had been stabbed off his horse drag him off his horse, and he died with him among the hooves of many horses. In addition, the others were also exhausted, and the horse thieves had already suffered more than a dozen casualties, exhausted but still rushing into the circle, because they felt that the officers and soldiers were dying.
The monkey watched the battle from afar, as a military advisor, he didn't need to participate in the battle, every time he waited for the battle to end so that he could get a piece of the pie. Seeing that the circle of officers and soldiers was being pressed smaller and smaller, a sneer appeared at the corner of the monkey's mouth, if the officers and soldiers were capable of this, it would be a foregone conclusion.
Just when the horse thieves thought that the officers and soldiers were gradually defeated, a shout of killing suddenly sounded behind the monkey, "Kill the thief!" Kill the thief! But it was more than ten people led by Huang Yang who rushed out of the grove, Huang Yang took the lead, and the monkey turned back in horror, only having time to see Huang Yang's waist knife getting closer and closer.
With a scream, the monkey who was a military advisor was cut off by Huang Yang with a knife, and then the besieging horse thieves were shocked to find that the officers and soldiers actually had reinforcements, because it was at night, and they didn't know how many reinforcements there were. When the officers and soldiers in the circle heard the shouts of Huang Yang and others, their morale was greatly boosted, while the horse thieves were in chaos when they lost sight of one or the other, and the situation had already reversed somewhat.
Xiao Yi was entangled by Chai Daguang and dodged a knife, but he was stopped again by him before he had time to shout a word to kill the thief. The officers and soldiers in the circle immediately scattered, and under the courageous leadership of Shi Lu, Wang Dayong, Shi Gang and others, they slashed and killed the horse thieves. Coupled with the panic of the horse thieves, this resulted in a near-total rout, and most of the horse thieves were killed by the officers and soldiers who suddenly rose up.
Chai Daguang angrily slashed at Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi saw that the battlefield was set at this time, and the offensive was also becoming fiercer. Taking advantage of the gap, he pulled out the stainless steel tiger spear captured from the Bayala soldiers behind him, and stabbed at Chai Daguang with a loud roar.
Chai Daguang saw that it was not false at all, the waist knife in his hand was slashing towards Xiao Yi, the two of them were actually thinking of exchanging their lives for their lives, Shi Lu was a little worried when he saw it.
Just heard a pop, Chai Daguang was stabbed in the lower abdomen by Xiao Yi, and the tiger spear penetrated through Chai Daguang's abdomen, Chai Daguang looked at the mandarin duck battle jacket on Xiao Yi's body that was split by himself, and actually revealed a shiny silver armor, and Xiao was not injured. That is the Houjin chain mail that Xiao Yi captured from Baya Labing, the armor leaves are well-made, and the old waist knife in Chai Daguang's hand is naturally difficult to break.
Xiao Yi gambled that the waist-breaking knife in Chai Daguang's hand could not cut through the chain mail on his body, so he really made him right. Chai Daguang was stabbed under the horse, and Xiao Yi was only cut out of the mandarin duck battle jacket, and the person was not seriously injured.
Chai Daguang was cut under the horse, looked at Xiao Yi stopped at the tip of the gun in front of him, smiled miserably, and in his last time, he also remembered his wife and children who were still at home, and regretted and regretted a little, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, did not spit out a word, closed his eyes and went west.
Xiao Yi also felt a little sorry for him, cut off Chai Daba's head, raised it and shouted, "The horse drawer is dead, and those who descend will not be killed!" Huang Yang followed and raised the monkey's head and shouted, "Those who descend will not be killed!" ”
The horse thieves were originally horse households, and at this time, the horse smoker Chai Daguang and the monkey were both killed, both of them lost their backbones, and they were even more broken, and they all dismounted and surrendered, saying that the official army master spared his life. Shi Lu looked at Xiao Yi, who was holding Chai Dabald's head in his right hand and Qi's knife in his left hand. wiped the blood splashed on his face, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.
According to later statistics, in this battle, eighty-nine horse thieves attacked and twenty-six were killed, including the leader Chai Daguang and the military advisor Monkey. And Xiao Yi's side had a total of forty-five horsemen, one was killed and twenty-five were wounded, of which one was seriously injured.
At this time, Xiao Yi remembered that it was time for him to recruit some military doctors, and he was afraid that there would be more injured people in the future, and Xiao Yi didn't want his subordinates to die on the battlefield, but they died of serious injuries due to poor care, so it was his responsibility.
He also obtained fifty-two horses and twenty-six beheading levels, so the Ming military law allowed the thief to get twenty taels of silver for beheading the first level, and thirty silver for braided soldiers. It is estimated that these twenty-six levels will be deducted a lot by Shangguan, and there should be more than four hundred taels in hand, which should be enough for him to build a fort in the short term, but it can solve the urgent need.
And the remaining sixty-three people who surrendered, Xiao Yi neither planned to surrender, nor did he intend to raise, let alone kill people. You must know that these people used to be serious horse households, but they couldn't survive so they would take risks as horse thieves to rob the township, even if they were thieves, Xiao Yi couldn't do such things.
But now that all these years have passed, they should have long been accustomed to the life of horse thieves, and surrendering can only do more harm than good, Xiao Yi will never let himself have any internal instability, you must know that the strongest barriers are often breached from the inside. Building a solid rear is a prerequisite for victory. Xiao Yi, the captive of this kind of rogue horse thief, will not surrender, and there is only one way to deal with it, sell people.
In fact, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were merchants who specialized in taking these captives, who collected people at a high price, and then sold them to Houjin or officers and soldiers or thieves at a higher price. This is also a very lucrative job, but at this time, due to the continuous displacement of people due to disasters, there is actually no shortage of people, and the price of their purchase is getting lower and lower, and the requirements for people are getting higher and higher. However, Xiao also didn't think much about these horse thieves, as long as he could deal with these horse thieves properly.
These businessmen turned out to be young and strong, these thieves are all young and strong, and Xiao Yi is not afraid of raising thieves as tigers, since Xiao Yi can defeat them once, he can defeat the next time. Xiao Yi only lacks money and time now.
