"Hehe, you have a good heart, those people, just hand them over to that Yuan Gongzi to take them, he is behind the door, and he is very good at fighting head-on.
Ah Jiu agreed, and after a while, there were more than 400 Qingzhu Gang riders, and Huang Hugang's team formed a team, under the leadership of Xiaohu and Li Hei, and the other seven or eight hundred people, under the command of Mengyuan and Ah Jiu, quickly retreated into the forest, waiting for the battle.
Meng Yuan knew that at this time, if he came forward to restrain the Shandong group of thieves, one would be soft-spoken, and the other would be that human nature would seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and if he wanted to pinch this large group of thieves from seven or eight mountains into a ball, Yuan Chengzhi might be able to do it, but he couldn't do it. Instead of being thankless, it is better to restrain these Qingzhu Gang heroes, unify the order, and use five hundred knights, plus these seven or eight hundred people, to guide the situation to the advantage, not only relaxed, but also much safer. What's more, when he decided to attack Qizhai overnight, the fate of these Shandong gangsters had already been decided.
He stood on the top of a large tree at the edge of the forest, like a vulture, observing the changes in the shape of the field. A group of more than a dozen officers and soldiers found Yuan Chengzhi's carriage, and seemed to say something, and the leader raised his long knife and shouted:
"Boy, dare to resist arrest, brothers, confiscate things." It is clear that he wants to kill and rob people out of sight.
Yuan Chengzhi and a few people were furious, let go of the big knife that was cut by the head and brainless, and slapped the palm on the back of the heart, and the general planted the horse and died on the spot.
Yuan Chengzhi got on the general horse, picked up the big knife, and killed the dumb man and others, killing the dozen officers and soldiers to the point of crying father and mother.
But without the participation of the Qingzhu Gang, those robbers who fled ran into the officers and soldiers brigade, but they suffered a big loss.
It turned out that the bandits were all different hills, but their stockade was located along the road where the Caoyun officers and soldiers passed.
Shandong Han is heroic, quite righteous, when he saw that the brothers were attacked, they returned to help, and suddenly fought into dozens of regiments, because Sha Tianguang was injured and unconscious, and the other village owners could not convince the public, these robbers lacked command, and the number was less than the official army.
Yuan Chengzhi took Qingqing, dumb, Liu Peisheng and the three of them occupied a small hill and guarded the crossing, their martial arts were far stronger than thieves, and after killing dozens of officers and soldiers, there were no more officers and soldiers coming.
Yuan Chengzhi ordered the three of them to guard the mountain crossing, and he rode his horse and crossed his sword, and killed the surrounding thieves nearby, while killing the officers and soldiers, he shouted to the group of thieves to retreat to the hill, and wherever he went, there was no one under his command.
The thieves who broke through leaned towards the hill one after another, and the brave ones followed closely behind, rushing to kill one after another. This chaotic situation was gradually reversed by him.
The officers and soldiers saw that the front division was unfavorable, and under the command of the chief soldier with the troops, the team moved forward, and the rear team gradually pressed up, and the group of thieves gradually lost support under the pressure of several times the officers and soldiers.
Meng Yuan laughed, jumped down from the tree, and after giving Ah Jiu a few words, he took out a horn and blew it whining.
"The master of Dazhai has sent a signal, let's go." Xiaohu, Li Hei was overjoyed when he heard the agreed horn. This group of five hundred knights, like a sharp arrow, stabbed into the position of the rear team in the ranks of the officers and soldiers.
Where did the official army think of Mengyuan's cavalry ambush, the five hundred knights rushed to the official army and slashed and slaughtered, and for a while, the entire middle and rear team of the official army became a pot of porridge.
Li Hei and the others followed Mengyuan's orders, and they did not love to fight, they slashed and killed all the way, separating the less than 2,000 people in the rear team from the officers and soldiers.
Then, the Qingzhu Gang led by Ah Jiu rushed straight to more than 2,000 people. Li Hei and the others, after penetrating the ranks of the officers and soldiers, turned their horses and prepared to charge again.
Those officers and soldiers, when they were striving for merit and fortune, everyone was vying to be the first, but when they encountered a setback, they were cut down by the number 100 people, and the habit of greedy for life and afraid of death immediately came up again. The sound of killing in their mouths shook the sky, but they ran fast under their feet, for fear of being caught up by those murderous cavalry and losing their lives.
The chief soldier who led the troops, but he was a person with some ability, led an elite and killed the rear team, wanting to stop the decline, but helplessly saw the team of no less than 1,000 people killed by the Qingzhu Gang.
Only a shout from the officers and soldiers of the rear team was heard, and more than 1,000 defeated soldiers dropped their baggage and ran wildly all the way. Li Hei and the others laughed when they saw it, chased after hundreds of paces with their mounts, and cut down dozens of people, and at this moment, the entire rear team completely collapsed, and the mountains were full of officers and soldiers fleeing for their lives. It is true that only a few hundred enemies are killed, but thousands of enemies are defeated.
Meng Yuan sneered continuously, leading the more than 1,000 people and horses, fanning out, like driving sheep, forcing the hundreds of defeated soldiers who had not escaped all the way forward. The chaos of the middle and rear teams, like a plague, quickly spread to the front army.
"Resist, resist me, if you lose your luck, everyone will die." The general soldier brandished a big knife, with hundreds of elites, against the trend to meet the rout, while shouting, while slashing indiscriminately, seven or eight people were hacked to death one after another, those elite soldiers, but also unceremoniously hurt the killer, obviously afraid of the rout further expansion, and wanted to forcibly stop the rout.
"Very well, you're qualified to let me do it." The general soldier was gathering his ranks, but he could hear a man's voice coming from afar.
Like a low-flying eagle, a black figure, almost stepping on the shoulder blades and helmets of those officers and soldiers, rushed towards his side, every step he took, rushed forward several feet away, and in the blink of an eye, from a few hundred meters away, rushed to the front of him, raised his legs, and kicked directly at his face.
The chief soldier's long knife swept into the air, trying to cut the man off, but he saw that the man's kicked leg was retracted, and it was a tumbling over the air, rolling over the long knife, and then on his head and feet, his hands clenched and his claws spread, like an eagle, and swooped at his shoulder. Before his palms fell, the chief soldier felt as if he had a pair of hooks and framed himself in the air.
He struggled, and rolled on the horse's back, and the paws of the man who came wiped his clothes and buckled them onto the horse's back.
"Smack"
The man's hands turned into claws and pressed the horse's back, and the force of this blow directly pressed the running horse to the ground. He missed the blow, his body did not stop, and his body fell to the side, following the body of the general soldier.
As soon as the general soldier fell to the ground, he felt that it was dark in front of him, and a figure was under the hood, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it, but he was stuck to the front by the man.
The man's palms, elbows, knees, and toes fell like a torrential rain, without stopping at all, and the wrists, shoulders, ribs, and knees of the general soldier were struck together.
There was no power to fight back at all, the long knife of the chief soldier was also gone, the helmet was gone, and the limbs seemed to have been drained of strength, so they could only be at the mercy of the other party.
"You're good, what's your name?" Meng Yuan asked.
The general soldier's neck was stiff, and his heart said that I lost my luck, which was originally a capital crime, and it was better to die a hero.
A sneer hung on the corner of Meng Yuan's mouth, and he set up the chief soldier, let out a long roar, jumped up, and rolled in the air several times in a row, the chief soldier only felt that the sky was spinning, and the heaven and earth in front of him seemed to be upside down. When Mengyuan took him back to the rear army formation, he landed on the ground, his legs and feet were weak, and he fell to his knees, gasping constantly.
"Give the order to surrender, if you don't give the order, I will have to continue to let them kill, if you surrender, I will guarantee that you will not die, and most of your subordinates will survive." Meng Yuan picked him up and let him see the officers and soldiers who were constantly being cut down.
The general soldier thought about it, and had to do so, honestly, pointed out several of the lieutenant generals, staff generals, guerrillas, and divisions in the team, Mengyuan shot them one by one, and arrested them one by one, and the general soldier saw him so miraculous light work, and captured people in thousands of troops like a bag, only to know that he was captured, which is a matter of course.
When the generals heard that they were going to surrender, their faces were as white as earth, and they all shouted and scolded, and they were slapped on the back by Meng Yuan, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive, and the rest were suddenly silent, and they didn't dare to object.
The general soldier and his generals ordered a truce, and Meng Yuan also ordered his subordinates and the Qingzhu Gang to stop. They went all the way forward and found Yuan Chengzhi, who was the leader. Most of these officers and soldiers fled when they saw their generals captured. The rest is only about 2,000 people.
At this time, including Yuan Chengzhi, they were all exhausted from the battle, and Yuan Chengzhi was even more afraid of Mengyuan. This melee of thousands of people has finally ended.
Yuan Chengzhi asked: "Who are you, what are you so many officers and soldiers carrying?" The general soldier sighed, and then explained the cause and effect one by one.
The general soldier's surname is Shui, is the commander of the Fengyang Governor Ma Shiying's department, this time with the troops, in order to suppress the Caoyin, to go to Beijing, now the Ming Dynasty, are counting on the silver transported to the south of the Yangtze River to pay for food, more than two million taels of silver, is the emperor's lifeline. Originally, Caoyin was supposed to be by sea, but this time the emperor was short of money and was in a hurry, so he had to take the land route and send heavy troops to escort it. Ma Shiying sent this water chief soldier with some ability. In addition to Cao Yin, there is also a group of death row prisoners, who were also sent to Jingshi.
At this time, hundreds of ragged prisoners stepped forward, accompanied by Xiaohu. Yuan Chengzhi was surprised and delighted when he saw it, it turned out that most of the prisoners in this group were Yuan Chengzhi's father's old department, Sun Zhongshou, Ni Hao, Zhu Anguo, Luo Daqian, etc.
Liu Peisheng suddenly thought of something and asked, "That medicine is also in these trucks." ”
Meng Yuan asked, "What medicine?" ”
Liu Peisheng said about this medicine with a complicated expression, it turned out that not long ago, the mountain people found a large Poria cocos from the deep valley of Huangshan Mountain, which is estimated to have been more than a thousand years, and it happened that someone in eastern Zhejiang dug up a human-shaped He Shou Wu. Both of these are once-in-a-lifetime treasures. After Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, learned about it, he forcibly seized it, and ordered the master pharmacist to make eighty Poria cocos shou black pills, and also mixed with precious medicinal materials such as Laoshan ginseng and pearl powder, and the cost of medicinal materials alone cost twenty or thirty thousand silver. According to the ancient formula, this pill actually has the miraculous effect of reviving the dead, and people with weak constitution can see the power after taking only one pill. Ma Shiying left forty of them for the next forty years, and the remaining forty went to pay tribute, hoping that Chongzhen would be the emperor for another forty years and be promoted to his official every year. This medicine is the elixir that the Gui couple are looking for for their son, but it is a pity that the Gui family has caused Mengyuan, and the martial arts have been removed.
