Chapter 18: Massacre

Zhu Changyuan's army did withdraw, and there were only 400 people guarding Luo Zhixiong under the mountain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Luo Zhixiong led everyone to rush down, pulling out all the tents of Zhu Changyuan's military camp, and when he saw that there were still only three or four hundred people, he laughed, and even said unashamedly: "Zhu Changyuan, Zhu Changyuan, no matter how good you are, in the end, you fell into the hands of our desperate Hades." ”

After saying that, he led his army and fought with the four hundred people below.

However, after the start of the battle, Luo Zhixiong suddenly found a serious problem: these 400 people did not seem to be many, but Nima could not move, and there were fewer and fewer of his own people who fought back and forth, while the enemy army did not fall much.

Especially the leading goods, Zhen Nima can fight, and it is more than enough for one to beat ten.

Moreover, when this group of people faced many homeless people, not only did they not run, but they also slowly gained the upper hand, and after a while, they also blocked the intersection of the mountain, so now even Luo Zhixiong can't go up and return to his cottage.

The back road is broken!

"Woooo

"Bang!"

A firework flew into the sky, and it was impossible to see how brilliant it was in broad daylight, but a loud noise could be heard by everyone within five miles.

"Okay, brothers, let's go, let's make dumplings."

Zhu Changyuan, who was ambushed in the woods not far away, shouted loudly, and led his subordinates * 100 people out of the nest and ran towards the battlefield of the decisive battle.

"Are you afraid?" Zhu Changyuan walked up to Li Baohe and asked.

"Don't be afraid, isn't it just fighting bandits?" Li Baohe's eagerness to try made Zhu Changyuan feel funny.

"Let's go!" Zhu Changyuan rode in front, and the people behind rushed behind, "a head." A tael of silver. ”

Hearing Zhu Changyuan's reward standard, flames burned in the eyes of all the soldiers, even if one or two pieces of silver were not much, but they were enough to withstand a soldier's salary for a month.

On the battlefield, the captives took the lead in the front. Bai Gang, Sun Hongbo and Wang Maozi lined up left and right to guard the intersection of the mountain, and let Luo Zhixiong's 3,000 men and horses take turns to attack, but they held on and did not retreat.

Among them, the capture was the most relaxed, and the thief saw his force that almost knocked down one with one move, which one dared to step forward.

"Shoot, shoot. Shoot them! ”

After fighting for half an hour, Luo Zhixiong finally remembered that he seemed to still have bows and arrows, and immediately ordered his subordinates to start shooting at the soldiers blocking the mountain road.

A few people are martial arts, and they are masters in the rivers and lakes, and it is more than enough to dodge bows and arrows flying in the distance. However, the evasion ability of the soldiers behind him is a little worse, and Rao is still so there are still no major casualties, the reason is very simple: although Luo Zhixiong has archers and bows and arrows, but there are not many, only a few dozen bows and arrows, and the lethality is really limited.

At this time, Zhu Changyuan led a large team of people to arrive and surrounded the people who were fighting viciously in the middle.

Li Xin laughed. Said: "Desperate Hades, you have been tricked." ”

It turns out that this damn Zhu Changyuan didn't leave, but hid nearby?

Luo Zhixiong first looked at Zhu Changyuan with a look of resentment. Then he showed a bitter look and shouted to his subordinates: "Stop, stop, stop fighting." He said to the place where Li Xin and Zhu Changyuan were: "I surrender, surrender, I have gold and silver, all of which belong to you." ”

He thought that Zhu Changyuan and the others, like him, had come to suppress the bandits because they were interested in gold and silver.

"Surrender?" Li Xin smiled slightly. Said: "Okay, everyone waits." All lay down their weapons, raise their hands and take three steps back! ”

Luo Zhixiong's subordinates did so. Most of those homeless people didn't have any weapons, and some even put down the pots and spoons in their hands, for fear that Li Xin would mistake them for weapons.

"Take!" Zhu Changyuan ordered, and the soldiers here immediately stepped forward and collected all the weapons of Luo Zhixiong's soldiers.

Zhu Changyuan ordered to camp on the spot, and Po Lu and Bai Gang led all the soldiers to surround the bandits in the middle and watch, just in case something unexpected happened.

A seemingly arduous task of suppressing bandits ended in such a funny and relaxed way, which was also something Zhu Changyuan did not expect, walked around the big tent twice, personally poured a glass of water for Li Xin, and said: "This time, thank you Li Gongzi for your help, not only borrowed soldiers and horses, but also gave me ideas, you are the first hero." ”

Li Xin smiled slightly, disappreciated, and said indifferently: "Forgive my subordinates for being blunt, such a small achievement, I'm afraid the general didn't see it in his eyes, right?" ”

Zhu Changyuan smiled and asked: "Most of these surrendered soldiers are innocent civilians, and they follow the rebellion into the mountains to be forced by life to be bandits. ”

"General, the woman's kindness is a big deal!" Li Xin took a sip of tea, respectfully stepped forward to salute Zhu Changyuan, and said: "General, if you are soft-hearted this time, it will be difficult to suppress the bandits next time. ”

"However, General Ben feels that this matter is too hurtful." Zhu Changyuan is not hypocritical, he is indeed unbearable, if you let a person with a modern concept of peace kill innocent civilians, he really can't do it.

If it was the Fusang devil or the Tunguska prisoner standing in front of him, he would not be merciful at all, but the civilians, Nima, these are all civilians, and this will be damned.

"If the general is soft-hearted this time, it will be difficult to enter the sky next time or even next time to suppress bandits, and when the time comes, not only will innocent soldiers be killed in vain, but also more innocent people will be killed, so general, please don't hesitate any longer."

Zhu Changyuan couldn't make up his mind after all, and said, "Why don't you take it back to Xiangyang Mansion and hand it over to the Governor of Xiong." ”

Li Xin was silent for a long time, nodded, and said, "That's fine." ”

At noon, he buried the pot to cook, and in the afternoon, he collected Luo Zhixiong's belongings cleanly, looking at more than ten large boxes of gold and silver, Zhu Changyuan said: "Who said that this group of homeless people is poor and has no food to eat, is it obviously very rich?" The gold and silver they robbed were enough for them to eat for a lifetime. ”

"Therefore there must be something hateful about the wretched." Li Xin snorted coldly and glanced at Luo Zhixiong, and said, "These mountain kings are actually more hateful vampires than the government under the banner of asking for the people's lives. ”

Since Ping'an succeeded in suppressing the bandits, Zhu Changyuan led the army in the afternoon and escorted more than 3,000 people all the way out from the deep mountains and old forests.

At night, he found a slightly wider place to set up camp, Li Xin went to Zhu Changyuan's military tent and took the initiative to ask for help, and said: "General, there is a lot of fatigue along the way, so let's go down and settle the people outside at night." ”

Zhu Changyuan nodded and said, "It's okay!" ”

After settling down, the faithful guard of the captives waited outside Zhu Changyuan's account, standing guard with a spear in his hand, like a small soldier.

There is a broken captive, Zhu Changyuan can also sleep comfortingly, and after a while, he fell asleep in a daze, and he didn't know how long he slept, and was suddenly awakened by a miserable cry and scolding, and when he got out of the tent and listened to the voice, he was even more miserable, and asked Poyu: "What's the matter?" ”

Po Yu looked at the dark sky in the distance and said, "It's Li Gongzi, he ordered all the captives to be killed." ”

"What?" Zhu Changyuan hurriedly put on his clothes and said, "Fuck! So he ran out, and the prisoner behind him followed closely, and said, "Little prince, there is danger, you must not go." ”

Zhu Changyuan's face darkened, and he stopped and said, "It turns out that you also know, why don't you report it to me?" ”

Po Yu said: "Li Gongzi ordered before, let me not tell you, saying that for the sake of the general's future great cause, all the blame will be borne by him, and he also said that it will not tarnish your reputation of the little prince." ”

"I..." Zhu Changyuan almost scolded, "Am I afraid that my reputation will be damaged?" This Nima is also thousands of lives. ”

There was a sudden jump in his heart, he turned over and ran towards the place where the screams came from, and secretly said that this Li Xinzhen would choose a place, and he also pulled this group of bandits so far away to kill, don't you want me to stop it?

Just halfway through, he was suddenly stopped by the oncoming white-clothed Li Xin and said, "General, you can't go!" ”

"Fart, bold!" Zhu Changyuan's voice trembled, "So, so." He was so angry that he couldn't speak, gasped for a while, and pointed at Li Xin: "Hurt me!" ”

Li Xin hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "I have a friend who lives in seclusion on the high platform of Songshan Mountain, who knows things like a god, knows five hundred years before and knows five hundred years later. Today is a capital crime, and when he waits for the general to achieve hegemony, I will apologize with death! ”

Li Xin said nothing, and kowtowed heavily to the ground.

Zhu Changyuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, listening to the screams and fighting in the distance gradually subdued, his heart seemed to be pressed by a big stone, and he sat down on the ground with a heavy butt.

"General!"

"Little Lord." After such a while, Po Yu also rushed over, saw Zhu Changyuan sitting on the ground, and said: "Little Wangye, Po Yu is guilty, please punish Xiao Wangye, Po Yu is willing to die." ”

"You are all innocent, but I am the one who is guilty." Zhu Changyuan's mood was extremely low, and he finally couldn't hear the movement over there, but this made him more trance and panic than anything else.

"General!" Po Lu stood up, ran to Zhu Changyuan and knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "The general educates us on weekdays, saying that we should have more banditry, and Po Lu also thinks that when the world is changing greatly, the general cannot be soft in the slightest. ”

"Get up."

Zhu Changyuan patted the broken prisoner's shoulder, and without saying a word, he abandoned his horse and walked back to the barracks.

He knew that the rhetoric that had just been broken was actually Li Xin's rhetoric, and the broken prisoner was too honest, and that kind of thing still couldn't be said.

"Perhaps, they're right." Zhu Changyuan sighed softly and muttered to himself: "Only in this way can we clear the entire Xiangyang Mansion at the lowest cost, and can we accumulate strength as quickly as possible." To stand out in this complicated and chaotic era at the end of the Ming Dynasty, perhaps the heart really has to become harder. (To be continued)
