Chapter 95: Maiwei Makes Contributions Again
After dealing with the county order, the next thing is the Zhang and Zhao families.
Duncan contacted two other Mai guards in the county, Manu and Murray, and got evidence of the big family's evil.
As soon as Chen Mu saw that the evidence was conclusive, he immediately led his troops to Zhang's house.
Chen Mu brought 2,100 people. One hundred people are his guards, all fully armed, and two thousand are flood fighters, all with shovels in their hands, which should be enough to deal with two big families.
When the army arrived at Zhang's house, the guards came forward and knocked on the door, but no one responded, so Chen Mu ordered to break down the door. When I entered the door, I still didn't see anyone.
Chen Mu thought to himself, wouldn't it be a run?
"Carpet advance, guard against enemy attacks."
Chen Mu gave an order, and the soldiers began to advance.
Chen Mu commanded according to the requirements of the operation, why? Although it is very likely that the two families will receive the news, they will not be so fast if they want to run, unless they don't bring anything with them.
Therefore, Chen Mu suspected that the other party might be trying to resist.
Because Chen Mu only had a regular army of 100 people, and the remaining 2,000 people were all flood fighters, with little actual combat experience and no armor weapons.
But Chen Mu didn't worry too much, because he had experience in fighting private soldiers, even if there were only a hundred guards, it was enough to deal with it.
Carpet pushing is just a matter of prudence.
Sure enough, after the flood fighters entered the second gate, they were resisted. The two sides fought together, screaming again and again.
Chen Mu immediately ordered the front army to retreat, and then a hundred guards to make up for it.
The flood fighters retreated with their wounds, and as soon as the heavily armed guards went up, the situation was immediately reversed.
Although those private soldiers were also heavily armed, they had no real combat experience at all, and when they encountered a regular army that killed people without blinking, they lost in momentum.
These guards under Chen Mu are all elites selected from the invincible flying army, and they are the elite soldiers among the elite soldiers, and letting them fight these private soldiers is even easier than training.
And the Zhang family also made a mistake, that is, the terrain of the battle was narrow. A hundred guards would be enough to fill the battle line, and the flood fighters would only need to cheer.
The guards pushed all the way flat, and the private soldiers gradually withdrew from the courtyard, and the battle line finally came to an open field.
Chen Mu walked out of the courtyard and saw that there were more than 500 private soldiers standing in the open space opposite.
"Hehe, you guys are so bold! I said that a big family can only have a hundred private soldiers at most, and you actually have five or six hundred people! ”
On the opposite side, the head of the Zhao family shouted: "Chen Mu! Wake up! Now our Zhao family and the Zhang family are united, and you only have a hundred guards, I will give an order, and one person will drown you with a mouthful of foam! ”
The head of the Zhang family shouted: "Chen Mu! If you exterminate the big family, don't blame us for being rude! We are different from the Lin family, our private soldiers have been training for a year! All of them are elite soldiers! ”
Chen Mu smiled, is this still an elite soldier? They really haven't seen what an elite soldier is.
"Very good, since you are together, it will save me trouble."
"You two are domineering, threatening, harassing, beating and occupying competitors."
"Dare to gather private soldiers and attack the prince of Great Xia."
"It's self-defeating."
The head of the Zhao family shouted: "I'm too lazy to reason with you!" ”
"Up! Blade formation! ”
When he gave the order, only half of the private soldiers rushed forward in formation, while the other half of the soldiers waited for the Zhang family head to give the order.
Chen Mu looked at the stragglers on the opposite side and slowly pulled out his long sword.
It's been a long time since he's been on the front line, so he's going to have a good time today.
"Flood fighters, outflanked on both wings!"
"Guards, charge!"
After shouting the order, Chen Mu himself rushed forward with the guards.
The private soldiers and the guards used a single sword, and no one suffered in the attack distance, but after fighting together, the guards showed absolute strength.
The long sword in Chen Mu's hand was also swung left and right, and when the private soldier came to him, it was a sword kill.
The flood fighters on both wings have no weapons, but they are also soldiers who have been trained all year round, and they will use shovels as spears, the first row of soldiers crouching, the second row of zama steps, the third row of upright, and the third row of shovels to set up a hedgehog formation, and there is nothing good for private soldiers.
Although the fighting strength of the flood fighters was weak, after all, there were many people, and after a while, they surrounded the private soldiers in the center.
As soon as Chen Mu saw that the encirclement had been formed, he ordered again: "Don't kill them!" Not a single one to stay! ”
Although it is said that such an order will increase the resistance of the enemy army, it no longer matters under the gap in combat effectiveness.
In less than an hour, Chen Mujun wiped out the private soldiers of the two families. Not a single member of the guards died, and only more than 200 of the flood fighters were killed.
The heads of the two big families could have been prosperous and wealthy, but now they are dead and dead.
Chen Mu wiped the blood on the sword and put it back into its sheath.
"The wounded rest in place, and two hundred more people are left to take care of the wounded and clean up the battlefield. I'll take the rest. ”
The soldiers were in place, and Chen Mu took people back to Zhang's house, turning Zhang's family upside down, and taking away all valuable things and confiscating them.
Then Chen Mu went to Zhao's house again, and it was also a complete raid.
However, the two should have been prepared for a long time, and the people had already run clean, and a lot of gold and silver had been taken away. However, Chen Mu still seized a large number of silver ingots, copper coins, and other property.
From this wealth, it can be seen that these two families have occupied most of the county's resources.
Wealth and status breed ambition and limit the strength of large families, which is indeed very necessary.
Chen Mu sent a group of people to send these belongings back to the capital, and then wanted the families of the Zhang and Zhao families.
The sins of these two families can already destroy the nine clans, and none of them can escape.
After dealing with these things, Chen Mu once again took the flood fighters and marched downstream.
But before Chen Mu could go to the next county seat, Mai Wei came to report that there were thieves who wanted to rob the Northeast rice for disaster relief, and it was likely to be the Yin Tang organization.
Although it is said that the grain in the Central Plains is enough for disaster relief, but after the disaster, there will still be a shortage of grain, which may lead to an increase in grain prices.
Moreover, the rice from the Northeast can also be planted in the paddy fields obtained from the flood discharge, so that more people in Daxia can eat rice.
I didn't expect someone to block the road and rob it.
It was the regular cavalry of Daxia who transported the rice, and the one who had the courage to rob it should be the Yin Tang Organization.
This news is very important, Maiwei has made another great contribution.
Chen Mu immediately decided to take a hundred guards and rush to support in a horse-drawn carriage, while the flood fighters went downstream for disaster relief according to the original plan.
Chen Mu's troops were divided into two routes, and the northeast rice over there had already entered the Dongyuan region, and it was 200 cavalry who were responsible for escorting.
