In the quiet little village, shouting, kicking doors, and exclamations of villagers rang out everywhere. Then, screams rang out, one after another, miserable and terrifying, far away in the silent night.

The military attache wearing the armor felt very satisfied, it seemed that his people were moving very smoothly, these screams must have come from the villagers, although the guards did not have any combat effectiveness, but bullying ordinary villagers was a piece of cake, and it was estimated that it would take less than half a pillar of incense to wash this small village in blood.

And the man in front of him must also be killed!

The military attache made a look, and the other three officers and soldiers surrounding Zhu Yuanzhang and Desperate Saburo forced over together, because Zhu Yuanzhang's size looked much smaller than Desperate Saburo, and he had a quiet tone on his body, unlike Desperate Saburo with a bandit temperament. So the three officers and soldiers pounced on the desperate San Lang almost at the same time, and the three Pu knives were wielded, fierce and fierce.

This is called catching the thief and capturing the king first! Concentrate your superior forces, take down the tricky enemies first, and then clean up the soft persimmons!

Pity...... This group of officers and soldiers got the wrong object, they couldn't have imagined that Zhu Yuanzhang was the king!

Desperately Saburo took a step back, brushed the ground and pulled out the Pu knife from his waist, in the case of one against three, he did not seek to hurt the enemy, first sought self-protection, the knife in his hand "snapped" three times, and opened three Pu knives attacking him, and at the same time as he blocked, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing next to him, moved.

His movements were very simple and very direct, taking a horizontal step, pulling out a Pak knife and stabbing an officer in the stomach from the side.

"Ahh The screams sounded, the officer and soldier fell backwards, and the other two officers and soldiers were bluffed: what a hot hand, he was not timid in the face of the officers and soldiers, and he would kill him if he shot it, where did this strongman come from?

The two of them just shook slightly, and desperately Saburo had already slashed with a backhand, and the two heads flew up at the same time, and blood was scattered all over the ground.

The military attache wearing the armor was frightened, turned around and ran, shouting as he ran, "Come and help......

He couldn't run two steps, and Desperate Saburo had already caught up with him, reaching out his right hand from behind to lift his neck that was twisting him, and lifting both feet off the ground. With his left hand, he knocked off the officer's weapon and cut his hands behind his back.

The officer panicked and shouted, "Don't kill me, this village is full of my soldiers, if you dare to touch me, they will come back immediately and tear you to pieces." ”

"Your soldiers everywhere?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "How do I think, there are my soldiers everywhere?" ”

At this time, there were screams in the village one after another, and in addition to these screams, there was also the sound of "clanging" of swords colliding, and with the sound of "heha" when swinging the knife, it was obvious that there were small-scale fights in various places in the village.

The officer's expression began to change, if his men were dealing with a group of sleeping villagers, it would not be possible to make such a fighting sound, because even if the villagers resisted, most of the weapons they used were hoes, wooden sticks, etc., but now the sound of swords colliding from the surroundings was obvious, it was not like ordinary villagers fighting with his soldiers.

And if you listen carefully, you can hear that the screams are all made by men, and there are no screams of women, children and the elderly, if the villagers are killed, how can all the men die? You've got to die a few old and weak women, right?

Soon, the time of the half-pillar incense passed, the sound of swords colliding became less and less, and the screams began to become sparse.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Desperate Saburo stood in the center of the village with the officer waiting, and footsteps sounded in the night, and then, more than a dozen figures ran towards them. The officer looked at it fixedly, he didn't recognize any of the dozen or so people who came, the eight in front were young and strong men, wearing linen clothes, carrying weapons, their eyes and movements were full of fierceness, and the four corpses they were carrying were his four soldiers. Behind these eight people, followed by a villager, five people, two old men, a young man, a young woman, and a child, it seems that they brought them over.

The first young man was Ma Xiaotian, and he said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Big brother, this is a family at the end of the village, I saved it with my brother." Hey, it looks like our group is the fastest, the first to come back. ”

"Ugh!" The officer's heart trembled: It turned out that this guy arranged for eight people to kill my four soldiers and save this family, not good...... The sound of battle resounded everywhere in the village, could it be because he sent someone to rescue him in every house?

Sure enough, soon the second group returned, also eight, carrying four corpses, followed by a family of villagers.

Then another group of people returned, exactly the same, eight people carrying four corpses.

……

In a short time, hundreds of people gathered in the center of the village, and all the villagers also gathered, and as for those officers and soldiers, they were now all corpses. With more versus less, it was surprisingly unexpected, these officers and soldiers simply didn't even have the strength to fight back, and Zhu Yuanzhang's men only injured three and controlled the whole situation.

Hundreds of people formed several circles and surrounded the military attache in the center. Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers looked relatively calm, but the villagers who were attacked in the middle of the night were full of anger, they really couldn't figure it out, the village was obviously a good citizen, why did the officers and soldiers come to kill them in the middle of the night? If it weren't for the rescue of these heroes in front of him, he would have returned to the underworld at this moment.

At this time, no one considered where these heroes came from and why they had the courage to kill officers and soldiers, they were all focused on the captured military attaché, wanting to ask him for an explanation.

The military attaché's heart was already half cold, and he even lost the courage to ask who these people in front of him were, and his whole body trembled.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not sign up, and there was no need to report his name for this kind of bereaved dog! He just glared at the military attache and said, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? Say it well...... I may be able to spare your life. ”

"I ...... I am Li Qinglai, the hundred-household official of Kaiyan Juntun...... These are my guards......"

"Oh? Triumphant Soldiers? "Zhu Yuanzhang had previously learned about the officers and soldiers stationed in Chengcheng, there are a total of three military tuns here, namely Changchong Juntun, Dicheng Juntun, Kaiyan Juntun, when Zheng Yanfu rebelled and killed Zhang Douyao's family, these three military tuns all sent soldiers to the county seat, Zhu Yuanzhang also had a deal with Ye Yuxuan, a hundred households in Changchong Juntun. (See Chapter 48 The Officers and Soldiers Are Coming)

"Why did you come here to kill good people?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a dark face.

Li Qinglai swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with difficulty: "We...... I heard the news that Zhu Ba, the giant in Huanglong Mountain, was about to lead troops to attack Chengcheng......"

"Giant?" Desperate Saburo, Ma Xiaotian and a group of soldiers all laughed, their level rose so fast, they were called scolding thieves not long ago, and now they have become "giant" cowards.

Li Qinglai didn't know what they were laughing at, so he stubbornly continued: "We just want to loot a few villages and grab some money and goods before the thieves arrive, anyway, this matter can all be dirty on Zhu Ba......"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "......"

Desperate Saburo: "......"

Ma Xiaotian: "......"

No one could laugh anymore, and their faces sank.

When they heard that the thieves were coming, the officers and soldiers did not think of organizing a defense of the city in a hurry, but instead rushed ahead of the thieves to kill the good people and rob the property...... This can no longer be scolded with the word "bastard", but makes people feel desolate from the bottom of their hearts.

The majestic Ming Dynasty is desolate!

The 10,000,000 people of the Ming Dynasty are desolate!

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, felt desolate!

"Besides you, what about the other two military camps?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked astringently.

And so they are...... They are doing dirty work in the southwest and southeast directions of Chengcheng, and I ...... in the north" Li Qinglai hurriedly said, human beings are like this, when they are caught doing bad things, they quickly throw out the people who do the same bad things, so as to make the other party feel that their sins are not so serious.

"Are there any other soldiers?" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Just the three of you are doing this? ”

"It's just the three of us, and there are no foreign soldiers!" Li Qinglai shouted: "After the imperial historian Wu Fu heard that Huanglongshan sent troops, he was frightened, and led two thousand elite soldiers to squat in Baishui City and did not dare to come out, we asked Baishui for help many times, but he refused to send troops to Chengcheng, so we began to mess around......"

"What about the prefectural order? What's he doing? Zhu Yuanzhang's surname asked all the information he wanted to know.

"He's ...... At...... is burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, begging God to bless the thieves to cross the city and not enter the ......" Li Qinglai found that Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was getting more and more ugly, and he didn't dare to continue talking.

"Burn incense and worship Buddha? Very good! "Zhu Yuanzhang really doesn't even know how to be angry, he is like a great enemy, he carefully arranged, wanted to fight a beautiful siege battle, minimize losses and take the city, but he didn't expect that his enemies had no will to fight at all, and they were doing some inexplicable things.

You must know that the bandits coming out of the mountains to attack the city are completely different from the peasant uprising launched by Zheng Yanfu at the beginning!

Peasant uprisings are often difficult for the government to prevent, and they can easily be taken over. But the bandits out of the mountain to attack the county is different, the bandits are easy to be detected by the government on the way out of the mountain to attack the city, once the thieves' actions are known in advance, it is easy to defend, the government can first let the guards stationed in the city, and at the same time gather the local squires and landlords, and pay to organize the militia to go to the city to garrison......

An ordinary county town can summon thousands of militia anytime and anywhere, that is to say, in Zhu Yuanzhang's prediction, there should be 1,200 or 300 people defending Chengcheng, and it will take a lot of effort to take it down.

But...... The county order of Chengcheng did not call the militia, but burned incense and worshiped the Buddha. The three guards did not drive troops into the city to defend, but burned and looted the people before the thieves......

Zhu Yuanzhang faced this pig-like enemy, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or angry.

Rejoice because the enemy is so stupid that it will be easy to siege the city. Anger is because ...... This is his Ming Dynasty!
