Chapter 167: A Village Full of Bandits

Hearing this, Qianhu pondered for a moment, bowed to Zhu Youcheng, and said, "The student has been taught." ”

Qianhu wanted to stay in the barracks, but was driven away by Zhu Youcheng. Just kidding, if he sleeps in the barracks, the soldiers in the city think that the Lord will be detained, and they will rob the camp late at night, and the first battle achievement of Xizhen Fusi is to annihilate nearly 1,000 Yongqing garrisons, which is funny.

When Qianhu returned to the city, Xu Zhixian's heart that had been hanging for a long time finally let go. He inquired about what Qianhu had seen and heard in the barracks, and knew that friendly troops were stationed outside the city, and the county seat of Yongqing was finally calm.

Before resting, Qianhu once again visited the Fuji camp in Wangxi Town, where the performance had probably ended, and the whole camp was quiet, but the sentinels on duty outside were still standing guard and patrolling in good spirits. Qianhu couldn't help but feel deeply touched in his heart, and after going back, he carefully studied the textbooks put by the Daming Military Academy, and applied what he had learned, and finally became a generation of famous generals.

Zhu Youcheng marched all the way to the same extent, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, some villages did not enter, some towns did not enter, some cities did not call, and tried not to disturb the people. At first, he was inexperienced, and only after setting up camp did he go to the nearby towns to inform him, which made the people nervous. Seeing the panicked appearance of the people, Zhu Youcheng couldn't bear it, changed his method, first went to inform the people, and then set up camp.

The people knew that it was the army of the Ming Dynasty, and their nervousness was slightly reduced, but they were still fully prepared. Hide the gold, silver and jewelry first, of course, you can't have nothing left, in case you provoke the dissatisfaction of the soldier, it is not good to turn over the cabinet and turn out the hidden treasures. Then the faces of the young daughter-in-law and the beautiful girl in the family were blackened with pot ash. Old people often say. Soldiers are like combs, and bandits are like grates. How can you welcome the army if you are not fully prepared?

In fact, their worries are unfounded. The time when the real "soldiers are like combs" is when the Qing Dynasty steals the Central Plains, anyway, the entire Central Plains is Han Chinese, and it has nothing to do with Jiannu, so you can't grab it. Although the soldiers at the end of the Ming Dynasty were not good at fighting, they would not think of harming the common people. Until Jiashen Tian changed, Shenzhou 6 sank. The soldiers' faith collapsed, and military discipline was completely corrupted.

Although the history of the Ming Dynasty has been tampered with by mites. However, if we remove the fog of history, we can still show the shadow of the strict military discipline of the Ming army. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, the traitor Kong Youde was stationed in Dengzhou, and his soldiers stole a chicken from the people. Kong Lao traitor severely punished the soldiers who stole chickens. But the people still refused to give up, and asked the old traitor to parade the chicken thieves through the streets with arrows. This rude request angered the traitor Konglao, who was furious, pulled the flag and rebelled, and finally defected to Jiannu with the cannon casting craftsmen and cannon technology. The people forced the Ming generals to rebel, although they were a little self-inflicted, but the military discipline of the Ming army can be seen from this.

No matter what the people thought, their preparations were in vain, because Zhu Youcheng's army did not enter their hometown at all. It disappointed the owners of those green buildings, gambling houses, and wine shops - they made less money, and Uncle Bing was a frequent visitor there.

On September 6, the fifth year of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse, Zhu Youcheng's army came to the territory of Cangzhou. The tall city tower of Cangzhou can already be seen in the distance. Zhu Youcheng saw that it was noon, and people were sleepy and tired, so he ordered to rest on the spot.

The 100 medical households were about to bury the pot and make rice, when the scout soldiers brought four old men, saying that they were the villagers of Wu Zhuangzi Village in front and asked to see the commander of the army.

Zhu Youcheng frowned. The villagers begged to see the commander of the army, which had never happened before. It was the local people who especially wanted reinforcements to defeat the rebellious bandits. There is still a bright blue sky in Cangzhou, or is there another hidden story in it?

Zhu Youcheng secretly ordered the guards to strengthen their guards, and then ordered the scouts to bring the old man to his side.

As soon as several old people saw Zhu Youcheng, they fell to their knees with a thud, and loudly begged the army to save their lives, saying that the rebel army had approached Wuzhuangzi Village, and asked them to enter the village and drive the rebel army away.

Zhu Youcheng looked embarrassed and said: "The emperor doesn't send hungry soldiers, the soldiers of Xizhen Fusi have come all the way, and they haven't eaten yet." You don't have to be impatient, wait a while, and we'll go and help you drive out the bandits after dinner." ”

Several old men grabbed the ground with their heads and shouted loudly: "Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, and the people are about to be killed by the rebels. We are willing to hand over our possessions and ask only the adults to help us defeat our enemies. ”

Zhu Youcheng showed a greedy look on his face and said, "Really? ”

The old people's faces unconsciously showed disdain, and an old man said: "Naturally it is true, the old man has hidden the coffin book of fifty silver coins, if the adult is willing to help us defeat the bandits, the old man is willing to give this money to the adult." ”

The same is true for several other old men, and one old man said that a landlord in the village has a treasure chest with no less than a thousand gold coins, and as long as Zhu Youcheng goes, all the money is his.

Zhu Youcheng called two hundred cavalry and personally led the troops, and the old man led the way in front. For some reason, Wu Huping, who accompanied him, felt that the smiles of those old men were particularly sinister. I wanted to remind Zhu Youcheng, but there was no solid evidence.

After walking for a while, when he came to the entrance of the village, the whole village was quiet, and Wu Huping said: "This village is not quite right. ”

Zhu Youcheng said: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's so quiet, it's not like a normal village."

The old man smiled under the horse and said, "No way, isn't this the bandits approaching?" Everyone was in a hurry and didn't dare to speak. ”

Zhu Youcheng said coldly: "It's really too quiet, no matter how scared the villagers are, there are at least three sounds that are uncontrollable, one is the sound of a dog barking, one is the sound of a chicken, and the other is the crying of a child." Now there is no sound here, so the village is a trap at all. ”

As soon as the words fell, the four old men hugged their heads and ran around. Don't look at their age, these four people are really fast, if they participate in the middle-aged and elderly games, they must be the champions.

Zhu Youcheng had already prepared, and pulled an old man to the ground with a whip. His guards were not slow either, whipping one by one, knocking the remaining three old men to the ground. Several more guards jumped off their horses and tied up the four old men.

"My lord, what are you doing? We are good citizens, don't misunderstand. The old men cried out together.

"Joke, if you are good citizens, then all the people in Cangzhou Prison are good people." Zhu Youcheng sneered, "As soon as you arrived at the barracks, I knew that you were liars, and you showed at least four major flaws." ”

The four old men asked in unison, "Which four flaws?" ”

"First, all the people who came were old men. The old man's movements are slow, his brain is not clear, if he is really looking for help from the official army, it should be a young and strong young man. You probably think that the elderly seem to be kind, and it is easier for the official to believe, so this flaw is exposed. Second, according to the reconnaissance of our scouts, there was no large-scale troop movement within 20 miles of the vicinity, and although the scouts did not enter the villages for fear of alarming the villagers, there was no great change in the villages from the outside. Third, you urge us to send troops. With 2,000 cavalry next to your village, I can't help but wonder if you're worried about someone sacking your village. Fourth, as the saying goes, wealth is not exposed, and you actually boast in front of your own officials that your village is rich, don't you ask me to loot you? With these four flaws in front of you, do you think the official will still believe you? ”

An old man hung his head and said, "Yes, my lord is so clever, we really want to deceive him." We want to trick the adults into a clearing in the middle of the village, then drop stones from all sides, stone you to death, and then snatch your weapons. ”

Wu Huping shuddered, imagining that stones were flying from all directions, and said secretly, it was really difficult to hide. Fortunately, our lords are smart, otherwise we would have been killed by these seemingly loyal old men.

The other old man seemed to want to make meritorious atonements, and hurriedly said: "My lord, hurry into the village, clear the houses and trees near the open space in the middle of the village, and take down those who are ready to throw stones." They forced us to do this, and they are the masterminds. ”

Zhu Youcheng whipped it, and the two old men who spoke were both stunned when they were whipped.

Zhu Youcheng said: "You two old things, you are dying, and you still want to deceive people." How many rocks can you take with you when you climb to the roof or climb up a tree, and how far can you throw them if you do? If you really use this method to deal with us, I am afraid that you will be wiped out by the Cangzhou officials and troops a long time ago, how can you besiege Cangzhou in turn? ”

Wu Huping suddenly realized at this time that he had forgotten the limit of manpower. Throwing stones from all directions can certainly make you have nowhere to hide, but it will take countless strong men to do it.

"You still want to trick us into entering the village, which should be full of bandits, and there should be many crossbowmen in it, or many pits dug for horses, or many nails for horses, and as soon as we step into the village, we will inevitably be in danger. I don't think you know how the dead word is written. ”

After speaking, Zhu Youcheng took off the firecracker, and the four old men were so frightened that their eyes were closed.

"Bang bang bang" four sounds, Zhu Youcheng released four guns in a row, and the whole person was shrouded in smoke. Then came two uncomfortable sounds from the smoke, one was the sound of a person coughing, and the other was the sound of a horse snorting its nose. Not to mention, the effect of this fire gun is really the same as the Seven Wounds Fist, if you want to hurt the enemy, you must hurt yourself first. But Zhu Youcheng and Huang Huma are injured like this, what about the four old men? (To be continued)
