Chapter 21: Night Attack on Zhengzhuang
On the third watch that night, a team of infantry under the direct management of Shi Jin, four teams of infantry under Chen Da and Yang Chun, and a team of sailors under Ruan Xiaoqi all came to gather in front of the Juyi Hall.
Except for the newly reorganized naval army under Ruan Xiaoqi, there was some apprehension, and the five teams of infantry troops from Shaohua Mountain were all full of excitement, and they could finally get the money again.
has been dormant in Liangshan for nearly three months, although there is no worry about food and clothing, but who would be afraid of having more money.
Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, Chen Da, Yang Chun, and Ruan Xiaoqi stood in front of the Juyi Hall, watching the group of soldiers and horses below quickly enter the team, and they all nodded with satisfaction.
The soldiers and horses of Liangshan had just begun to learn battle formations, and had been practicing formations and guns and sticks before.
The queue is also a strict requirement of Shi Jin, and the team must not only be uniform, but also must not have any voice.
After all the six teams were all reported to have arrived, Shi Jin stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "This is the first time that we Liangshan has done the right thing for the sky, and everyone must fight bravely." What is more important is to strictly abide by military discipline, but tonight there are those who do not abide by military discipline and disturb the people, and they will not be spared. Down. ”
Seeing the soldiers and horses walking towards the mountain pass, Shi Jin said to Zhu Wu next to him: "Go back and rest, no one should come to my cottage tonight." ”
Zhu Wu said with a smile: "I'll send you down the mountain, and by the way, let's inspect the three passes and then rest." ”
Shi Jin saw Zhu Wu say this, and said with a smile: "There is a military advisor sitting in the cottage, and I don't have to worry about living outside for a year and a half." ”
Zhu Wu said with a smile: "It's okay for me to help my brother keep watch for a few days, but after a long time, I can't manage such a big cottage." Brother don't want to be lazy. ”
Everyone laughed and went down the three levels to the golden beach.
Shi Jin said to Zhu Wu: "Let's go back." ”
Zhu Wu hugged his fists and said: "Okay, I wish everyone success." ”
Shi Jin hugged his fists and said: "It's easy to catch a bad country gentleman, so the military advisor will wait for our good news." Leave. ”
The crowd walked through the reeds and scurryed all the way.
At the fifth watch, I arrived outside Zhengzhuang.
In winter, the nights are long, and the fifth watch is still dark.
There is no farm work, and the people in the village are also asleep.
"Wangwang"
Before approaching Zhengzhuang, the dog in a yard at the head of the village barked, causing a dog barking in the village, but fortunately, everyone was still far away, and the dog in the village could not notice anything, and then stopped barking a few times, and the dog at the head of the village was scolded by the owner a few times, and also shut up.
Shi Jin also knew that with these dogs, it was impossible for the team to touch them, so he ordered Chen Da, Yang Chun, and Ruan Xiaoqi to take their headquarters to go around to other directions in the village.
Surrounded on all sides to prevent Zheng Rong from escaping.
When Chen Da, Yang Chun, and Ruan Xiaoqi all sent people to report, and after arriving at the designated location, Shi Jin left a group of people to guard the entrance of the village and led the rest of the people to the village.
"Wangwang"
As soon as they approached the head of the village, the dog at the entrance of the village barked again.
"The son of a bitch, I slaughtered you when I called you again."
The owner of the house heard his dog barking again and scolded in the house.
The dog in the courtyard smelled a lot of strangers, and did not listen to the owner, barking more and more fiercely.
The dogs in the village also began to bark, much more so than before.
The man in the room also felt that something was wrong, and while dressing, he shouted, "Who is outside?" ”
Shi Jin couldn't hide, so he shouted: "The heroes of Liangshan came to arrest Zheng Rong, and the people in the village should not come out, so as not to be injured by mistake." ”
This shout immediately spread throughout the village.
The soldiers and horses lurking in the other three directions saw that Shi Jin had already attacked, so they all entered the village.
Different Shi Jin's road was quiet, and the other three roads were all shouting and killing.
Such a big movement frightened some of the people in the village.
Zheng Rong was dreaming when he heard the shouts of killing in the village, so he hurriedly put on his clothes, ran out of the yard barefoot, and shouted: "Knock the gong, knock the gong, and let all the men in the village come to the village." ”
"Boom"
The hurried gong sounded, and the men in the village took sticks and wanted to gather outside Zheng Rong's courtyard, but most of them obediently closed the courtyard door after seeing the black-clothed people swarming with swords and guns.
Shi Jin took the soldiers and horses to the outside of Zheng Rong's courtyard first, and saw that the courtyard wall was full of thistles, and he couldn't go over the wall, so he could only say to a gang leader next to him: "Take your people up and hit the door, cover some with shields, and be careful with bows and arrows." ”
"Yes."
The group of people at the head originally protected Shi Jin with shields, and when they heard that Shi Jin asked them to bang on the door, they were not afraid.
"One"
"Two"
"Three"
Five men rushed to the door, shouted a trumpet, and crashed.
Zheng Rong had just rushed out of the backyard when he heard shouts of killing on the other three sides, and knew that he couldn't escape, so he could only be brave and ready to hold on.
When he saw someone knocking on the door, he immediately shouted to several Zhuang Ding: "You go and block the door, don't let them crash open." ”
Several Zhuang Ding were frightened when they heard the shouts of hundreds of people outside, and they were all squeezed behind the door when they heard the master's order.
Shi Jin heard the movement in the courtyard, and immediately said to Shi Zhu next to him: "Take someone to find a striking log, and borrow a few ladders." Borrow, understand? Don't frighten the people. ”
"Understood."
Shi Zhu answered, and left with a group of people with torches.
Zheng Rong heard the shouts and killings from the other three sides getting closer and closer, and the fear in his heart became more and more intense, shouting: "The heroes outside are slamming on the door slowly, how much grain and grass do you want to borrow, I will let people send it out." ”
Shi Jin heard this and shouted: "I am waiting for the heroes of Liangshan to do the way for the sky, and I am only here to eliminate harm for the people, not for food and grass." And all the people in the courtyard listened, and laid down their weapons, and let us kill only those who do evil, otherwise we will have no eyes when we go in. Those who catch Zheng Rong, if they are guilty of outdated, they will be reduced by one class, otherwise when the house is broken, they will have to be liquidated one by one. ”
Zheng Rong heard that there was no way out, so he could only grit his teeth and say: "Everyone listen, keep it until dawn, and the soldiers and horses in the county will come to the rescue." The strongmen outside kill people without blinking, and when they let them in, you can't escape death. As long as you keep the hospital, and when the thief returns, each person will be rewarded with a hundred yuan. ”
There will be brave men under the great reward.
He didn't care about how much money he had to pay afterwards as promised, so he would fight off the thieves first.
Shi Jin also heard Zheng Rong's shouting and shouted: "Whoever kills the people in the village, kills, helps Zheng Rong to oppress the people." Those who catch Zheng Rong can have their crimes reduced. Tonight, there are 300 heroes from Liangshan, and there are no more than 50 men in the courtyard. I will call out ten counts, and when we will count ten, we will go in, and then there will be no eyes for the swords, so do not mistake yourselves. ”
"One"
"Two"
"Three"
……
Zhuang Ding in the courtyard also heard from Shi Jin's coherent counting sound that Shi Jin didn't care.
They are Zheng Rong's minions on weekdays, and it is common for them to oppress the people in the village, but they don't dare to kill anyone.
According to Shi Jin, at most, they were beaten by the Liangshan strongman with dozens of sticks, but if they were killed by the Liangshan strongman, they would have no eyes and no eyes, and maybe their lives would be lost.
Hearing that those who oppress the people on weekdays also have to be punished, they subconsciously feel that Shi Jin will not lie to them.
Zheng Rong saw that the Zhuang Ding looked at each other, and was also afraid that these Zhuang Ding would listen to the thief's words and arrest him, so he hurriedly said: "The thief's words can't be believed, if you repel the thief, I will give each of you ten acres of land." ”
Money and land are good, but they must also be taken.
"Wait, I'll catch Zheng Rong."
When Shi Jin shouted to seven, a Zhuang Ding couldn't hold back any longer, shouted, and threw himself at Zheng Rong.
"I also catch Zheng Rong."
The other Zhuang Ding saw that someone was the first to strike, and they all immediately pounced.
Zheng Rong struggled a few times, and was twisted by several Zhuang Ding.
Ruan Xiaoqi heard a few shouts inside, and the door opened from the inside, and said dissatisfiedly: "These guys are too unrighteous, they took people's money, and they have to fight for a while." ”
Shi Jin said with a smile: "Fight a few big households, and the Jeju officers and soldiers should attack our cottage, and you can fight enough then." ”
The group of people who had banged on the door earlier saw a few villagers come out with a man in a brocade robe, and shouted, "All have abandoned their blades." ”
"Yes, yes."
Several bankers hurriedly threw away the knives and guns in their hands.
Shi Jin waved his hand and said, "Tan Qijin, take the team inside, and drive everyone in the house to the courtyard." ”
"Yes."
Tan Qijin is the leader of Shi Jin's direct management infantry team, and he weighed seven catties when he was born. It's a pity that when I grew up, my figure was not burly, but I was a little thin, but fortunately, I was flexible, so I did the team.
At this time, Chen Da and Yang Chun also arrived one after another.
Shi Jin said to Chen Da again: "Send a team of people to patrol the village, let the other people guard their homes, and those who take advantage of the fire to rob will be killed." ”
"Okay."
Chen Da ordered a team of soldiers and horses.
The team led by him was thinking about it, and divided his men into five squads, two groups of people, and one team, and went to patrol separately.
Under their shouts, the village quickly calmed down.
Assigned someone to Anmin, Shi Jin looked at the person who was twisted by his own Zhuang Ke and asked, "You are Zheng Rong?" ”
This Zheng Rong is in his forties, his brain is full of fat, and he knows that there is oil and water at home.
Zheng Rong saw that the leader was a handsome young man in his twenties, tried to squeeze out a smile, nodded and said: "The villain knows that he is wrong, the good man spares his life, and the good man spares his life." ”
Shi Jin nodded and said, "If you don't deserve to die, we won't kill you, let's talk about how much grain you have in your village first." ”
Hearing Shi Jin's question, Zheng Rong's eyes couldn't help but roll.
"Smack"
When Yang Chun saw Zheng Rong's appearance, he went up and slapped his hand, and scolded: "You are not honest." ”
He and Shi Jin came all the way and looted several monasteries, all of which were places where people were forced to hide gold and silver, but they asked for some experience.
Zheng Rong grinned when he was beaten, but he didn't dare to cry out in pain, begging for mercy: "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare." The grain on the village should be about 1,000 stones, and the money should be more than 3,000 yuan. ”
Shi Jin snorted coldly and said, "It's dragged over, let's beat twenty sticks." ”
Zheng Rong couldn't stand being slapped by Yang Chun, and when he heard that he was going to be beaten with twenty sticks, he hurriedly shouted: "The hero spares his life, what the villain said is true." ”
Shi Jin saw that this guy was not honest, shook his head and said, "Forty sticks." ”
Ruan Xiaoqi's hands were itchy early, and when he heard Shi Jin's order, he said to a Zhuang Ke who was holding Zheng Rong: "You go and find me a thick stick, and when it's thin, I'll let you eat a few sticks too." ”
"Yes, yes."
The Zhuang Ke who was ordered saw Ruan Xiaoqi's fierce appearance, and hurriedly ran into the courtyard to find a stick.
