Chapter 51: The fight started
I can't help Captain Mei to be so suspicious, it's really too hard to believe, it's just impossible. On the other hand, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have long had the bad habit of killing good people and risking meritorious deeds, whether it is the soldiers of the Nine Border Town or the guards in the interior, they often kill innocent people, cut off the heads of the people and pretend to be thieves, in order to receive a reward for military merits.
Mei Zhihuan couldn't believe that Liu Jun and Li Chunjiang, two outstanding young people, would do something to kill the good and take the lead, but before the matter was clarified, he didn't want to make judgments.
The sky was bright, and the golden rice by the river rose and fell with the wind, like golden waves.
On the road at the edge of the field, a huge nine-headed phoenix waives in the wind on a high flagpole. Under the banner, Liu Jun and Li Chunjiang did not change their armor, and their helmets and armor rode in front, leading more than 100 people from the nine-headed bird and horse team to move forward.
Next to them, there were more than a dozen riders, they were the riders from Shen Zhuang, all of whom were Mei Zhihuan's family members. Until now, their eyes have been staring at the group of people in the Nine-Headed Bird and Horse Team, especially the bloody heads of many Xiangyong horses from time to time.
Originally, Liu Jun planned to leave with Li Chunjiang first, and the horse team came later. As a result, not long after leaving, they ran into the left-behind team members who came over with Mei Zhihuan's family, saying that Mei Gong was going to summon their horse team to assemble at Baosheng Fort. As soon as Liu Jun heard this, he simply directly informed the people who came about the battle situation last night and the information of the thieves' den, and asked them to go back to report first, and then he and Li Chunjiang walked with the horse team.
On the way, Li Chunjiang planned to go back to the Queenstown camp first to change his robes, and place the women, and to wrap the heads of the captives with cloth bags, which would be too bloody.
But Liu Jun stopped him.
He knew from the shocked expressions of those Shen Zhuangjia Ding just now that their results this time were only unbelievable to many people. In this case, they simply maintained the appearance of the battle, and everyone wore this bloody robe and armor, and the smell of gunpowder was filled with it, and then directly asked the villagers who killed the enemy to hang the heads they had obtained directly on their horses, and all the captives were tied behind their horses, and even those women were let them ride along with them.
He just wanted to use this state to go to Shenzhuang and let the villagers know that their battle was real.
Fort Protection.
The guard on the gatehouse of the castle saw a black dot appear in front of him from a distance, and he immediately reported that his team leader had come over, raised the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, and when he saw the flag of the nine-headed monster bird that appeared in the mirror, he immediately shouted, "The nine-headed bird is coming, the nine-headed bird is coming." ”
Previously, the horse team brought back the news of the victory of the nine-headed bird's night attack on the bandits, and it had already spread among the teams of the entire Baoshengbao Township. Everyone was skeptical of the news and didn't believe it at all. But at the same time, a rumor suddenly circulated in the fort that the nine-headed bird killed the good and risky merits, and they did not kill the thieves who destroyed the Lin family, but just a group of poor homeless.
So everyone is now looking forward to seeing what the outcome will be
"Coming, coming, they're coming!" A team of village warriors rushed to the city gate, vying to witness this roaring horse team, which was established by Xie Yuangong of the Li family himself, and it is said that tens of thousands of taels of silver were spent before and after, and the treatment was very good, three meals a day, and a team with meat to eat every day.
When Liu Jun walked closer, a smell of blood mixed with gunsmoke had spread in the distance.
"Human heads!" Someone pointed to the heads of the Hydra warriors' horses and shouted.
"Wow, it's really a head, a lot of heads." Someone smacked.
The soldiers of the Nine-headed Bird and Horse Team watched so many people onlooking, listening to all kinds of discussions, and they cheered up one after another, and raised their heads even more, and everyone was full of pride. While the other teams were still struggling with the thieves' traces, they had already returned victorious.
"Hey, what's the smugness, maybe it's a good kill." In the crowd next to him, there was a discordant voice.
As soon as the winter dog who was passing by heard this voice, his face immediately changed, and he worked hard to get his merits, but some people actually said that they were killing good and risking merit?
The winter dog who hadn't slept all night was still in a state of excitement, and when he heard the words, he immediately turned his head over there and shouted, "Who the hell is the stinky bullshit, there is a kind of standing up and saying." ”
"What's the matter, you can't let people say it." A man stood in the crowd, arms crossed, sneering, and his tone was full of mockery.
"Even you, kid, also have the ability to kill three thieves?"
Winter Dog pounced directly from the horse, and smashed the man's face with a punch, directly knocking out one of the man's teeth.
"Dog, your grandfather is desperate to kill thieves, but you are talking cool things here, and slandering us, I will kill you a bitch."
The man was beaten, and when he vomited, a big tooth fell to the ground, and he was immediately angry. "Kill you idiot!"
His companions also came up to help, and the winter dog was immediately surrounded by dogs, and at this time, the dog remnant also jumped directly from his horse and joined the battle group, and their captain saw that the situation was not good, and immediately called the rest of the same army to join the war group.
In an instant, at the gate of the castle, the victorious nine-headed bird township group and the other township regiments scuffled together, at first there were only a few people, and then more and more people joined, and it seemed that it had become a big chaos.
Liu Jun turned his head and saw that he couldn't tell who was who.
In fact, he also heard the slander of killing good and merit in the crowd just now.
Looking at the chaotic crowd, Liu Jun didn't stop it, but shouted at the other nine-headed bird villagers who were still watching, "Look at your mother's look, what are you looking at stupidly, your fellow brothers were slandered and beaten, you know how to look stupid?" Brothers, the guys, kill these stupid birds. ”
Liu Jun jumped off the horse with it, picked up his long knife directly, and did not unsheath it, even holding the knife with the sheath in his hand, and smashed it against the villagers who were watching the nine-headed bird.
When the other villagers saw that the boss was taking the lead at this time, they hesitated to do anything, and immediately jumped off their horses one after another, and smashed them with waist knives or bird handles, hooks, guns and sticks.
"Keep in formation, Mandarin Duck Battle Formation!" Liu Jun did not forget to command his subordinates while fighting, and let them maintain the formation of the mandarin duck battle formation to fight.
Although there are more other villagers at the gate of the fort, not all of them really join the brawl, but the nine-headed bird townsmen are fighting together, and they directly fight according to the mandarin duck battle formation they usually train, especially since they just experienced the battle last night, and they are handy to use at this time.
Everyone was still wearing armor and helmets, and one by one they were carrying scabbards, bird handles, and hook gun handles to smash and beat the other hand, the group of people on the opposite side were mostly rabble, and there were all teams of them, and most of them came to see the excitement and did not have a team together, and they were just dressed in ordinary military clothes, and they did not carry weapons.
As soon as the two sides fought, they immediately rebelled, and the nine-headed bird side was united, using the mandarin duck battle formation to fight the enemy in small teams, while the other side was an unorganized blind fight, and one side had armored weapons, and the other side was just a cloth fist.
Mei Zhihuan and other officers of the township regiment had already heard that the nine-headed bird had arrived and were heading towards the fort gate together.
Suddenly, I saw a family member running over with a panicked expression.
"Mei Gong, it's not good, it's not good."
"What's going on, what's the panic?" Mei Zhihuan frowned and scolded.
The guy gasped, "Fight, they fight." ”
"Let's be clear, who's fighting."
"It was the nine-headed bird that fought with the guerrilla battalion at the gate of the fort, it seems that there were people from the guerrilla camp who had just arrived at the nine-headed bird and said that they were killing good and risking merit or something, and then the nine-headed bird's township Yong fought with them."
"Still fighting?"
"It's a big fight now, hundreds of people are fighting, and the gate of the fort is already in chaos."
Mei Zhihuan shouted angrily, "What are you doing, who is spreading rumors?" Also, you all eat dry food, just watch the bullying of the nine-headed bird horse team in the ranger camp? There are more than 500 people in the ranger camp, and there are only more than 100 people in the nine-headed bird, and you just watch them being bullied? ”
The family wanted to laugh a little, but he tried to hold it back, but it was really uncomfortable.
"Mei Gong, actually, in fact, it is the nine-headed bird chasing the guerrilla camp now."
"What?" All the officers of the township regiment present were stunned. What the hell is this, there are more than 100 people in the nine-headed bird, and they can chase and fight more than 500 people in the guerrilla camp, what kind of jokes.
"It's true, the nine-headed bird fight is very fierce, especially that Liu Jiye personally took the lead, they also lined up a mandarin duck battle formation, and the squads were combined together to support each other. Moreover, they were still wearing armor and knives and guns in their hands, and the guerrilla camp was like a mess of sand, and they were beaten by the team and ran around. ”
At this time, Mei Zhihuan and the others were even more surprised and speechless.
Everyone looked at the camp officer of the guerrilla camp together, and thought, what kind of bear soldiers are you bringing, 500 people can't beat 100 people, in this case, what are you provoking people to do? Do you die?
The officer of the ranger battalion was red-faced, and he wished that there was a crack in the ground, so he immediately let him get in. He said angrily, "This Liu Jiye, do you want to rebel, he actually uses knives and guns!" ”
The man immediately helped the nine-headed bird to distinguish a sentence, "The nine-headed bird just beats people with a scabbard, a handle, and a gun handle." ”
"It's also the use of knives and guns."
"Don't talk about it, shameful fellow, the ranger camp is just a bunch of mud that can't hold up the wall." Mei Zhihuan snorted coldly and interrupted him.
The camp officers of the guerrilla battalion felt very aggrieved, they were recruited from the homeless people, and they were usually inferior to other teams in the countryside in terms of money and food, and even equipment and training, etc., and the nine-headed bird and horse team was established for more than a month, and it is said that it has spent tens of thousands of taels of silver, which can be compared.
Mei Zhihuan waved his hand, "Let's go, let's take a look at the excitement." ”
They went straight to the gate of the fort and looked condescendingly at the brawl that was still going on at the gate of the fort. However, at this time, the brawl had come to an end, and the five hundred guerrillas outside the fort were not the opponents of the nine-headed bird at all, and the five hundred people were chased by more than 100 people and fled in all directions.
Mei Zhihuan couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and then he turned his head to look at the officers of the township regiment, "Now, do you still think that the Nine-headed Bird and Horse Team is killing good and risking merit?" ”
Everyone shut up and didn't speak, looking at the embarrassment of the nine-headed bird beating the five hundred people in the guerrilla camp, the other party's combat effectiveness was indeed a bit outrageous, if they raided more than fifty thieves in the middle of the night, it was not impossible to succeed.
"Alright, bang the gong and let them end this funny and stupid 'battle'!" Mei Zhihuan shouted.
