Chapter 32 Sending Troops to Fight the Thieves

The slaughter of the city has always been taboo in any dynasty or country. Because this kind of thing has exceeded the moral bottom line of human beings, except for those who are perverted in their hearts, no one is not disgusted with this kind of thing, and Pang Gang and the people of Wanghaibao are naturally no exception.

Pang Gang slapped the table and shouted: "This gang of gangsters and bandits have lost their conscience in such a way, how can this official, as a Ming official army, sit back and watch this gang of bandits run rampant!" They will all be exterminated and exterminated to protect the peace of the land."

"That's right! They will be slain! Everyone in the hall was excited, waving their arms one by one.

However, after the excitement, everyone was a little worried, and after calculating the strength of Wanghai Fort, they found that there were only 240 troops in Wanghai Fort at this time, and it was naturally impossible to send them all, otherwise once there were bandits attacking, they would not even have the power to protect themselves, and Qianyue Fort would be a lesson from the past. In this way, the number of troops that can be sent out can only be the strength of one hundred households, that is, one hundred and twenty people. However, with only these 120 people, they were completely unsure of the five or six hundred bandits who had gone up to Inuya Mountain.

Everyone discussed for a long time, and Pang just said: "Don't worry, I estimate that such a big event must have alarmed the Lord of the Command Room and the Lord of the Prefect, and the government will definitely not turn a blind eye, let's wait for a while, and we must be prepared ourselves." ”

Hua Yan also stroked his sparse beard: "My lord is reasonable, according to his humble position, I want to come here and cover the official documents above!" ”

Everyone reluctantly agreed, only Da Zhuang muttered in a low voice: "Hua Zhudian is pretending to be a ghost again, where did he get the official document for a few days!" ”

As soon as Da Zhuang's words came out, a soldier came to report, "Ladies and gentlemen, people from thousands of households have come!" ”

As soon as the soldier's words came out, Pang Gang and Hua Yan looked at each other and smiled slightly, and Pang Gang immediately led the crowd out of the hall.

Outside the gate of Qianhu, Pang Gang's old acquaintance, the original boss, Bin Shiqian, Baihu was standing at the door with three entourages leading horses and waiting, although they were wearing thick winter clothes, but their faces were still blown by the cold wind, and the war horses behind them were still spitting white gas.

After Pang Gang came out, he hurriedly welcomed Bin Shiqian and the others into the hall, and ordered someone to serve hot ginger soup to Bin Shiqian and the others to keep them warm.

Bin Shiqian picked up the ginger soup and drank it regardless of the hot mouth, and after a large bowl of ginger soup was put into his stomach, his face that was originally blue from the cold returned to his normal color.

Pang Gang had been sitting on the side and remained silent, knowing that he was now asking, "What is it that Lord Penn has to do that made you come in a hurry?" ”

Bin Shiqian put down the big bowl and burped comfortably before he said, "Brother Pang, don't hide it!" Brother Fool is really here for something important this time. A few days ago, the tragedy that happened in Qianyue Fort was already known to the virtuous brother. ”

Pang Gang smiled bitterly in his heart, this Bin Baihu is really not outside, as soon as they meet, they are called brothers, but at this time he can't care so much, he sank his face and said: "The younger brother also just knew, and he is discussing with a few general flags and Hua Zhudian?" I didn't expect that Zhou Youcai would dare to commit such a heinous evil deed, he was really innocent! ”

"Since the virtuous brother still knows, the foolish brother will not explain much. After Qianyue Fort was slaughtered, Qingzhou shook, the prefect and the command room were furious, the two adults have issued a strict order, ordering us to wait for Lingshan Wei to quickly send troops to exterminate this gang of thieves, so that no one can slip through the net, especially the thief chief Zhou Youcai wants to see people and corpses when he dies! At present, the Ministry of War has not yet sent new thousands of households to our Lingshanwei, so we Lingshanwei and several hundred households have decided to jointly send troops to exterminate this gang of thieves in Qiu Hongbao, Wanghaibao and Lingshanwei after three days. ”

Pang Gang clenched his fists and said solemnly: "Pang Gang, as a Ming official and army, has the unshirkable responsibility to exterminate the thieves, please rest assured, after three days, Pang Gang is willing to lead one hundred and twenty elite soldiers to Lingshan to defend the meeting of the adults and kill the thieves together!" ”

After hearing this, Bin Shiqian's eyes glanced thoughtfully at Pang Gang's face a few times before retracting his gaze, nodded and said: "This is very good, then the foolish brother is going to return to Lingshanwei to resume his life, farewell!" ”

Pang Gang also knew that Bin Shiqian's matter was urgent, and he didn't say anything to keep him, so he led people to send him outside the fort, knowing that Bin Shiqian and the three entourages had become small black dots, so he returned to the hall of the Baihu Office.

After entering the hall, Pang Gang immediately ordered Wang Zhi and Da Zhuang to quickly reorganize the army and horses, and after three days, they must arrive at Lingshanwei and meet with the rest of the hundred households to exterminate the bandits. At the same time, he also ordered Hua Yan and Li Xian to prepare food and grass, and Pang Gang didn't expect anyone to be merciful to support him this time, and now he could only rely on himself.

Since there are no mules and horses in Wanghai Fort now, the baggage can only be carried by people, so Pang Gang also ordered Li Xian to recruit a hundred strong men as a baggage team to carry grain and grass. In the foreign war, a strong man is said to have about one liter of food, and now a total of 200 people will consume 200 buckets, Pang Gang has prepared five days of grain and grass, plus a few horses' forage, then he has to prepare 22 stone of baggage, all of which must be done quickly.

Among the 120 people, Pang Gang except for 60 spearmen, the rest of the people are soldiers with firearms, which is already all the elites in Wanghai Fort that Pang Gang can mobilize at this time, and the remaining 120 soldiers Pang Gang let stay in Wanghai Fort, which is Pang Gang's lair and must not be lost.

Moreover, the number of commanders of a hundred households is only one hundred and twenty, and it will be troublesome if they are held accountable by those who have a heart after they are exceeded.

According to the rules of the Ming army at this time, when the soldiers went out to fight, they needed to set aside the silver, march food, etc., which was also a common problem since ancient times. However, at this time, Pang Gang was so poor that he naturally had no silver to distribute to everyone, so before the battle, Pang Gang also explained the situation to the soldiers, in order to ensure the safety of Wanghai Fort and his family, and Pang Gang's prestige in the fort was quite high, and the soldiers did not complain. Moreover, before leaving, Pang Gang also assured the soldiers that if the bandits were captured this time, all the soldiers who fought could be divided into forty percent.

In the early morning of three days later, before dawn, Pang Gang set off with one hundred and twenty soldiers and one hundred strong men, and all the military households in the fort came to see them off, and everyone looked reluctant. Some ladies and old people are still holding tears, after all, once they go this time, the men in the family don't know if they can come back, but they only dare to wipe their tears behind their backs, and some women are telling their husbands to follow the huge people to fight well and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

Compared with those military families, the soldiers who went out this time did not have so many worries, and it was not too far to go to the Thousand Households, and they had been practicing the killing skills of the enemy for several months, and they had long been in a panic, and they had been looking forward to such a day.

Pang Gang rode on the big red horse sent by the Song commander, standing at the front of the team in a shining outfit, holding a bright silver spear in his hand, carrying a Damascus scimitar at his waist, wearing a fish cotton armor on his body, and wearing the eight-discerning iron helmet of the Ming army on his head, looking very majestic.

He bowed his hand to all the soldiers, waved his spear, and the sixty pikemen led by Da Zhuang immediately walked forward, followed by sixty firearmsmen, and finally a hundred heavy men led by Hua Yan.

As the team opened, the two hundred and twenty people slowly disappeared from everyone's sight
