The cannons and small cannons of the Jinyi Guard were fired together, and the silver spear village that hit directly was in tatters, and a group of thieves were killed and wounded.

After the shells stopped, Yang Xiaoyuce immediately stepped forward, raised his big hand, and ordered all the brocade-clothed guards to ride forward to harvest their lives.

The stockade of more than 200 people was razed to the ground in less than two hours.

Seven of the bandits were captured, and the others were beheaded.

After Yang Xiaoyu asked, none of these people knew which cottage had been outside Yangzhou.

In this case, he spared no lives of these men, and with a wave of his hand, he made the rider take up his sword and cut off the heads of seven bandits.

There is no gold, silver and jewelry in the silver gun village, but there are two good-looking female bandits, Yang Xiaoyu in the spirit of pity and cherishing the jade, the two female bandits were rewarded to a group of horsemen who killed the most enemies, so that the horsemen could have fun.

This kind of thing is common on both sides of the war, and the beautiful women, gold, silver, and money of the one side who died in the battle all belonged to the victorious side.

Besides, these two female bandits are not good people, when they were in power, they killed people like hemp, and now they want to live when they lose power, how can it be so simple.

After the riders indulged, Yang Xiaoyu ordered all the riders to ride up and have fun, which could be regarded as a reward for them.

The two female bandits received more than 30 horsemen and passed out from exhaustion.

The riders behind them, regardless of whether they couldn't bear it or not, went in one by one, and then walked out laughing one after another.

For more than two hours, the two female bandits were stunned to receive more than 50 horsemen, which can be described as a front and rear attack, and there were many comers.

At sunset, Yang Xiaoyu took his subordinates and rode to Hutou Village, twenty miles to the southwest.

It may be that the movement of attacking the Silver Spear Village during the day is too big, and the bandits of the Tiger Head Village are frightened and rush down the mountain like hares.

When Yang Xiaoyu led the crowd to Hutou Village, the village was empty, and all the gold and silver were taken away.

Yang Xiaoyu was extremely angry. ordered someone to burn Hutou Village with a fire, and then took his soldiers and horses to a small county town ten miles away nearby.

When the county magistrate of the small county town heard that Uncle Jinyiwei was coming, he hurriedly opened the city gate and asked the county government to prepare wine and food to greet him.

Yang Xiaoyu was not polite, and ordered everyone under his command to eat and drink, after eating and drinking. After asking the county magistrate, I learned that the bandits in Hutou Village did not have only one den, and they also had a village to live in dozens of miles away.

Yang Xiaoyu asked the county magistrate to recruit two officials who were familiar with the road to lead the way, and led the brigade to another hideout in Hutou Village late at night.

After a deserted village on the road, the officials pointed to the village and explained to Yang Xiaoyu that the people of this village were slaughtered by bandits ten years ago, and the imperial court sent troops to exterminate the bandits, but they didn't expect it. Later, another wave of bandits took over the nearby mountain and seized the abandoned village as a temporary foothold.

Until recent years, Hutou Village occupied this place, renovated the village, lived in it, and acted as a good citizen.

After Yang Xiaoyu listened, he asked Jinyi Weiti to ride quietly into the village and touch the entrance of the village. After dealing with the minions of the sentry, set fire to the village. All the bandits who ran out were shot, and only a few bandits were captured for questioning.

Yang Xiaoyu ordered Tiqi to bring the bandits up, and asked in a cold voice: "Who knew that the bandits from that cottage had recently been outside Yangzhou City, and this official could spare his life?" ”

"The villain knows!"

A thin man replied before the others: "The big boss of Sanyang Mountain took the cottage people to rob outside Yangzhou City, but it seems that he didn't grab any money. However, they did get back an obscure poor scholar. ”

"Where is Sanyang Mountain?" Yang Xiaoyu asked coldly.

"It's not far from here, there is a mountain road of more than 20 miles to reach!" The wizened man hurriedly replied.

Yang Xiaoyu laughed loudly, he really had nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it. This time to suppress the bandits, it seems that it is really the right choice.

It was late at night, and Yang Xiaoyu ordered a hundred households to enter the county seat with four cannons to rest, and the others ran lightly towards Sanyang Mountain. ，

In the dark night, a long fiery dragon galloped through the winding mountain forest.

At dawn.

More than 700 Jinyi riders quietly came to the village outside Sanyang Mountain.

This time, it was related to the life of the horse, Yang Xiaoyu did not dare to bombard the cottage with cannons, and sent Chen Yingren to cross the mountains and forests with thirty brocade guards with high martial arts, and lurked into the Sanyang cottage like a ghost.

There are not many bandits in Sanyang Mountain, about 100 people, and its leader Niu Dazhuang was originally a peasant, and he couldn't stand the oppression of the landlords, so he went up the mountain to fall into the grass, and in just a few years, he recruited troops and bought horses, and he made a small cottage with less than a dozen people into a big cottage with more than 100 people.

More than 100 people eat a lot of food, relying on the filial piety of local farmers is not enough, in desperation, Niu Dazhuang led the minions in the cottage to often go down the mountain to hundreds of miles away to rob.

There is a way that one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and there are various cottage bandits watching the roads within a radius of 100 miles, Niu Dazhuang does not dare to make trouble on other people's territory, but the cottage is about to run out of food, so he took it to Yangzhou City to rob.

The sky is getting brighter, and the sun is quietly showing its head.

Chen Yingren returned with a young man covered in blood.

Yang Xiaoyu hurriedly greeted him, and took a few closer glances at the young man, his face was pale, his eyes were blank, obviously he had been beaten badly, and he had been hungry for a long time, if he didn't hurry up to heal his injuries, I am afraid that he would not be able to survive today.

Chen Yingren nodded slightly towards Yang Xiaoyu.

Yang Xiaoyu opened his mouth and said: "Master Ma, the humble position is Yangzhou Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and I was ordered to come to save you." ”

The horse master was supported by the two horsemen from side to side, and nodded with difficulty, signaling that he understood.

When Yang Xiaoyu was about to ask a few more words, the horse master rolled his eyes, his body was crooked, and he fainted.

"Ma Baihu, you take someone to quickly send Ma Ye to the county seat for treatment, and the others will follow the official to level Sanyang Mountain." Yang Xiaoyu thought for a moment and hurriedly arranged it.

Ma Baihu bowed, took his subordinates and horses to carry the horse master and ran down the mountain.

After half an hour, Yang Xiaoyu arranged the troops properly, and gave an order: "Open the cannon!" ”

More than a dozen tiger squat guns fired shells from the southeast-west triangle towards Sanyangzhai.

The Tiger Squat Cannon is small in size, weighing no more than 30 catties, easy to carry, not powerful enough, and has a firing range of 100 meters.

Even so, more than a dozen tiger squat cannons fired together in succession, but the power was amazing.

The wooden fence was covered by the first round of artillery fire, and turned into ruins in the past.

Immediately afterwards, the second round of shells followed, and the Sanyang cottage was filled with gunsmoke and the flames of war burned.

Yang Xiaoyu ordered his cavalry to finish all the shells, and when he fixed his eyes, the cottage had long ceased to exist, there was green smoke everywhere, shouts and shouts were continuous, and the sound of pain filled Sanyang Mountain.

The brocade-clothed guards who were sharpening their knives waited for the shells to stop, and immediately rushed towards the smokeless cottage with a shout.

This time, Yang Xiaoyu didn't want half of the prisoners, all the people in the cottage were slaughtered, and the owner of the village, Niu Dazhuang, was cut off by Zhou Tong and returned to Yang Xiaoyu.

Yang Xiaoyu looked at Niu Dazhuang's head, with a long-lost smile on his face, the black head in front of him was not a big credit for him.

After instructing Tiqi to set fire to Sanyang Mountain, Yang Xiaoyu hurriedly ran to the county office with the tired Jinyi guard.

When I returned to the county seat, it was already past noon, and the sun was shining at its strongest.

Yang Xiaoyu galloped quickly to the front of the county yamen, Ma Baihu waited at the door, stopped Yang Xiaoyu, and whispered: "My lord, I'm afraid that the horse master will not work!" ”

Impossible?

Ran Xingrang was just hungry and had no strength, his body was destroyed, and it was impossible to die!

Moreover, Ran Xingrang in history lived to the last years of Chongzhen, how could he not go through a robbery?

Yang Xiaoyu felt that his head was cold and swishing, if the horse master died, the black gauze hat on his head should be taken off!

"My lord, the horse master is fine, but it's not good!" Ma Baihu saw that Lord Yang was stunned, and knew that he would be wrong, so he hurriedly explained.

"Tell me clearly, isn't he in good health? Why can't it be? Yang Xiaoyu asked with a glare.

Ma Baihu stomped his feet anxiously, and hurriedly leaned over to explain to Yang Xiaoyu in a whisper.

"How so?"

After listening to Ma Baihu's words, Yang Xiaoyu shouted in a lost voice.

"The subordinates are anxious about the safety of the horses, so they let their subordinates hurry up, but the mountain road is rugged, and if you are not careful!" Ma Baihu looked ashamed and explained in a low voice.

Yang Xiaoyu had a bitter face, and finally found the horse, and it took a lot of effort to rescue him. The roots are gone.

If the pony wakes up and finds his life. The root is gone, and he must not go crazy!

This matter is not big, it is not small, everything is in Princess Shouning.

If the princess is thin-skinned, the matter will not be leaked, and if the princess seeks justice for the concubine, he will have to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster.

"Don't make a noise about this, if the horse wakes up and asks about it, you tell him that when the brocade guard rescues him, his life. The roots are gone! Yang Xiaoyu thought for a while, and said with a solemn face.

"Thank you, sir!" Ma Baihu thought that when he said this, Yang Xiaoyu had to beat him with dozens of canes to discourage his anger, but he didn't expect Yang Xiaoyu to suppress the matter and didn't blame him. , he hurriedly thanked him.

I know that the colt is dead. Roots, Yang Xiaoyu is not easy to go in and meet.

At this time, the news of the rescue of the horse had not yet been transmitted back to Yangzhou, and a group of officials might still be sending troops to search the mountain.

Yang Xiaoyu ordered the 100 households to stay and take care of the horse master, and the other 100 households withdrew from the county seat with the people under their command, brought the silver that the thousands of households rewarded them, and went home.

Yang Xiaoyu took Zhou Tong and Chen Yingren to ride back to Yangzhou, and four Franco cannons that were not conducive to carrying were thrown by him in the county seat, and pushed back to Yangzhou by the Tiqi who was on foot behind.

This time back to Yangzhou more than 300 miles, set off in the afternoon, galloping all the way, without rest.

Finally before dawn on the second day, Yang Xiaoyu and his party came to Yangzhou City. (To be continued......)
