Chapter 57: It's all messed up
Wan Baichuan fell to the ground, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, blood foam spurted out, and he returned to the west with his Beiyu Dream kick.
As soon as he died, he exploded, and the subordinates left by Xu Bangyan, as well as the dead friends of Wan Baichuan, drew their swords one after another, clamoring to rush up.
Sun Youguang secretly wiped his cold sweat, and secretly said in his heart that it was a fluke, if Zhang Ke hadn't saved him, and there was no need for the court to trouble him, even Xu Bangyan wouldn't have spared him.
Thinking of this, Sun Youguang gritted his teeth and raised the steel knife in his hand.
"Brothers, listen, we are all from Daqing Fort, and it is our responsibility to defend the land, Xu Bangyan wants to take our fellow villagers, can you agree?"
"Can't! No! ”
Tang Bi, who was following behind Sun Youguang, was the first to shout, his voice was loud, and it spread far and wide, and all the soldiers in ambush around rushed out.
A total of more than 300 people surrounded Xu Bangyan's men and horses in the middle, and in addition to them, the people of Daqing Fort also moved. Relatives were snatched away, and when they heard that they were going to be given to the Tartars as slaves, who could stand it, men, women, and children with sticks, hoes, kitchen knives, and basins, rushed out, forming a large encirclement on the periphery of the army.
The leading people shouted loudly: "Lord Sun, you have done the right thing, kill all these beasts who eat inside and out, kill them all!" ”
The common people clamored and hugged forward, Tang Bi's face sank like water, and he said loudly: "Lord Sun, you heard the voices of the people, hurry up!" ”
"Then ......" Sun Youguang wanted to say yes, but he unconsciously looked back at Zhang Ke, you must know that today's events are all directed by this first-hand director, and he will have to carry it if something happens in the future, Sun Youguang does not dare to decide without authorization.
"Zhang Lichang, look ......"
Zhang Ke walked to the front of the team with a smile, and on the opposite side was Xu Bangyan's subordinates, these people were much braver than the soldiers of Daqing Fort, but now there were no dragons, and they fell into the encirclement group again, and their momentum was three points weaker.
Zhang Ke was not in a hurry, the knife in his hand wiped twice on Wan Baichuan's corpse, and then smiled: "Do you know, this guy's name is Wan Baichuan, he and your adults are Weng son-in-law, that is, they decided to give Tartar two thousand taels of silver, three hundred laborers, please Tartar leave!" ”
"Bring it!" Zhang Ke waved his hand, and four soldiers carried two mahogany boxes to Zhang Ke's front.
Zhang Ke stretched out his hand violently and lifted the lid of the box, using the torch to reveal a soft luster.
"Silver!"
These soldiers all swallowed involuntarily, nine out of ten people had never seen this money! Although they knew that they were in danger, they still couldn't help but stare secretly.
Zhang Ke grabbed the two ingots and smiled: "If you say something polite, I think there is no one here who doesn't love silver, everyone wants to be rich and have a lot of silver!" But not everyone will spend silver, do you want to know, if these two thousand silver fall into Zhang Ke's hands, how will I spend it? ”
A hundred households surnamed Wang held a knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "We are all soldiers of Lord Xu, if you kill Lord Xu, you are against Lord Xu, we will kill you!" ”
"Yes, kill you!"
Zhang Ke looked at the noisy crowd and laughed fearlessly.
"Sue you, in order to fight against the Tartars, fifty of the official's subordinates died in battle, and the official gave thirty taels of silver each, twenty acres of fertile land at home, and one stone of japonica rice per month!"
The soldiers present all gasped, although Daming also had compensation for the soldiers who died in the battle, but most of them were deducted at all levels, especially the generals who kept their families, and the other soldiers were like artemisia grass, and they didn't take it seriously at all. Give thirty taels for a dead person, and give back the grain to the fields at home, I can't even think of it!
"Hahaha, the two thousand taels of silver that you adults are going to give to the Tartars will be divided into two parts now, and if you want to be warriors to protect the people, you can get ten taels immediately, and if you die in battle, you will give your family thirty taels, and if you are wounded, you will give twenty taels. For a quarter of an hour, those who wanted to take the silver as heroes were lined up to the left; If you want to be loyal to your lordship and oppose this official, stand on the right side, and wait for a while, the soldiers and civilians around you will settle accounts with you! ”
Zhang Ke took three steps back, hugged his arms and looked at it with a smile.
Soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to choose, one side is silver, the other is the master! To tell the truth, no one is born with a lack of morality, and Zhang Ke's words really touched everyone's most sensitive nerves. There is money for the Tartars, but there is no money for the subordinates, believe in the benevolence of the Tartars, and do not believe in the bravery of the subordinates!
With such generals, it is no wonder that the army of the Ming Dynasty has no combat effectiveness!
After three minutes of silence, suddenly a veteran in his thirties ran out in a few steps, went to the front of the box, took a deep breath, and grabbed an ingots with trembling hands!
"This brother, why were you the first to stand up and get the silver?"
The veteran blushed and sighed for a long time before he said: "I want to marry a daughter-in-law, ten taels of silver dowry, I have been a soldier for more than ten years, I haven't saved a penny, I don't want to be a single!" ”
"Well said, it's true, when this battle is over, the official will be a matchmaker for you."
"Thank you, sir!" The veteran stood beside him excitedly, his chest standing tall.
Many soldiers who knew him swallowed their saliva with difficulty, who didn't want to marry a daughter-in-law, who didn't want to pass on the lineage!
Cease! Cease! Cease!
"Lord Xu, it's not that we are sorry for you, it's that you look down on us first!"
A large group of soldiers rushed over, obediently took the silver, and stood in the open space on the left. It's like dominoes, with those who take the lead, there will be a steady stream of followers, and in a blink of an eye, almost half of them will defect.
Seeing that Sun Youguang and Tang Bi were dumbfounded, this Zhang Erlang was too godly, how could he think of such a good way, without spending a single soldier, let the enemy disintegrate and eliminate the ice. You must know that it is not easy to eliminate these 200 people, if you delay time, you are afraid of ......
"Lord Sun, it's not good, Lord Xu is calling the city outside, let's send the people and money out quickly, he, he, he seems to be a little suspicious, let Lord Wan go and talk!"
"Hmph, what a million adults, it's just a scum!" Sun Youguang scolded on the one hand, and was afraid on the other, saying in his heart that thanks to Zhang Ke, if the fight started, I was afraid that Xu Bangyan had already led people back to kill at this time, and Daqing Fort would really not be able to keep it!
"Brother Zhang!" Sun Youguang is older than Zhang Ke's father, but at this time, he also whispered in a low voice.
"Brother Zhang, what do you think Xu Bangyan should do?"
"Master Sun, leave him alone for now." Zhang Ke looked at the remaining half of the people, and asked with a sneer: "Have you thought about it, do you want to follow Xu Bangyan to the death?" ”
Before the words landed, the soldiers around them were holding knives and forced up.
Wang Baihu looked around, and then looked at the more than 100 people who had rebelled, and suddenly said with a sad face: "My lord, it's not that I want to offend you, but Xu Bangyan holds the power of life and death, and our family is in his hands, so we can't be disobedient!" ”
"Hahahaha, can't you see what Xu Bangyan has done, just because he still wants to continue to be an official, if he doesn't destroy his nine clans, it will be a blessing from heaven!"
Sun Youguang said with a big belly: "That's right, this official will personally go to the court to treat Xu Bangyan's crimes, you can fight back now, not only will you not be cured of your crimes, but you will also be rewarded for your merits, if you are stubborn, don't blame this official!" ”
Wang Baihu lowered his head, still thinking that many soldiers behind him couldn't stand it, and they all knelt down, so that Wang Baihu could only follow.
"My lord, we are willing to listen to your dispatch, Xu Bangyan is not a thing, we will no longer be his soldiers!"
Zhang Ke stood beside Sun Youguang and laughed in a low voice: "Lord Sun's official is impressive. ”
"Hehehe, it's still your Zhang Erlang's idea." Sun Youguang said with a smile: "Tang Zhenfu, you take them to the south of Dongcheng to set up defenses, and this place is handed over to this official and Master Zhang!" ”
"Yes!"
Tang Bi turned around and led people down, Sun Youguang took Zhang Ke's hand and gave a thumbs up.
"High, it's really high, a soldier who surrenders without a fight, and the art of war is the best strategy."
"My lord has won the award, but the strength in his hand is not enough, if he uses force in the city, it will definitely alarm Xu Bangyan, it is better to come so quickly!"
Sun Youguang shook his fat head and said with a smile: "Brother's life depends on you, let's talk about it, how to deal with the soldiers outside the city!" ”
Zhang Ke smiled slightly: "Don't worry, adults, it's time for the show outside the city to start!" ”
Sun Youguang was confused, so he could only follow Zhang Ke to the city wall and wait for him.
At this moment, a small group of twenty people quietly approached the camp of the mountain tiger in the west of the city, for the sake of Yue Zixuan, who held a longbow in his hand, and opened the bow and arrows, and the patrolling soldiers fell to the ground in response.
Yue Zixuan shouted proudly: "Kill Nikan, rush, kill!" ”
Twenty soldiers followed him and rushed inside, and Xia Shanhu was discussing with the military advisor Lan Banxian in the tent.
"Mr. Lan, the Tartars are really useless, I thought they were going to set foot on the Daqing Fort, but I didn't expect to ask for some silver and labor and leave, what a wretch!"
"The big boss, the number of Tartars is not large, and they have suffered losses, so they are naturally less courageous."
"Hmph, they have eaten meat, and Lao Tzu can't get anything!"
Lan Banxian narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Big boss, don't worry, didn't Xu Bangyan let us feint to attack Daqing Fort, you might as well have a fake show and do it......"
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
……
"Big boss, it's not good, the Tartars are attacking us!"
"What?" The tiger suddenly stood up.
"You kid took the wrong medicine, why are the Tartars attacking us?"
The little minion said with a sad face: "Big boss, listen, there are Tartars shouting and killing outside." ”
Lan Banxian pricked up his ears and listened, it was really a tartar.
The tiger picked up the machete angrily and said, "Go, follow me to see what kind of wind the Tartar is pumping!" ”
The tiger led the men and horses outside, only to see the corpses of the horses, and dozens of horses were disappearing into the night. He was furious, flew on his horse, and led the men out in pursuit. Not long after running away, a group of Tartars rushed towards him.
"It's not good, there is an ambush, the brothers should fight!"
The same is true of the Tartars on the other side, Shanba gritted his teeth: "The Han people are shameless, warriors, kill!" ”
They fought, and Yue Zixuan and Qiao Fu, who were watching in the dark, were about to laugh like crazy. After arriving at Daqing Fort, Zhang Ke took ten people into the city, and left them with twenty soldiers, and agreed that as long as three red lights were hung on the city, they would attack the Xiashan Tiger and the Tartars separately.
This trick really worked, and the Tartar and the Xiashan Tiger fought in a daze.
Zhang Ke naturally heard the shouting of killing at the head of the city, and hurriedly waved his hand.
"Quick, fire!"
The two bronze cannons on the head of the city suddenly rang out, and Zhang Ke shouted at the top of his voice: "Lord Xu, the Xiashan Tiger has already started, what are you waiting for, kill the Tartars!" ”
Ma Biao and others behind Zhang Ke also shouted: "Kill the Tartars, kill the Tartars!" ”
……
Xu Bangyan, who was outside the city, was worried about not sending people to send silver, and suddenly heard this shout, and felt bad. He jerked his head up, and saw a young man standing proudly among the torches.
"It's you, I won't let you go!"
Zhang Ke laughed: "Lord Xu, look at your back, the Tartars are coming!" ”
