Chapter 330: Capture
After giving a righteous warning, let the local yamen pay more attention to Haohan Village, and if there is an accident, the county official will not have to be.
The famous general of the women's army spoke with great weight, and the local government said that he obeyed the order.
You must know that all the officials in the Jiangnan area have been dismissed, and Jinyuan County is right on the border line, and there is no qualification to catch up with the Jiangnan family, so they survived.
On the cusp of the storm, you have to be cautious, and it is always right to listen to the words of the imperial court.
In this way, the clues are broken, Leng Tongxiang has been sad for a few days, how to investigate if there are no clues?
Ten days later, they received a reply from Li Xingchen, which said that the words "waiting for the opportunity to move" were written, which made Leng Tongxiang more and more worried!
To put it bluntly, do you still have to wait, wait until the Year of the Monkey?
More than 1,000 women's troops were encamped in the open space near the Yamen.
It's not that the yamen doesn't entertain them, but they are used to this kind of life.
I don't know how long I will stay here, and how can I occupy the public resources of the Yamen.
Time, and so it passed for another two days.
Jin Yuan County hurriedly ran outside to find Leng Tong Township.
"General Leng, another nest of bandits has emerged, I don't know if it's a group of people you want to investigate."
Leng Tongxiang's eyes lit up.
Under the rule of Li Xingchen, the bandits of Great Wei were almost extinct.
Even if there were, I didn't dare to kill people and set fires, and I would block the road and tie some money.
It does not involve human life, the people do not raise it, and the officials do not hold it accountable.
But when human life is involved, the nature is different.
Times are advancing, and so is the IQ of the bandits.
"Where?" Leng Tongxiang asked.
"It's not from Jinyuan County, but from Hengshui County. It was also said to Xia Guan when an old friend came to Xia Guan for a drink last night.
Heihe, Hengshui County, is said to have more than 2,000 bandits.
They were extremely arrogant, not only blocking the road and robbing it, but also occupying all the official roads, and setting up official cards to collect tolls.
If he didn't give money, he dragged the young woman away, and only released her after he had done that.
And that's just for the poor.
As for the wealthy merchants, all the things they brought were hijacked, and it is said that they also relied on this to attract more and more people, and their territory was expanding, becoming a major cancer in Hengshui.
The local people hated this very much, but there was no way, the yamen of Hengshui County did not know whether they had accepted their benefits, and they did not report the matter to the imperial court.
My old friends have been looted quite a bit.
Many local businesses want to move their families, but some spare money at home can't be transported, and if they are brought out, they will be confiscated, so they have to grit their teeth and continue to stay in Hengshui County. ”
While speaking, the county official peeked at Leng Tongxiang's face and found that she had a look of deep hatred.
The actual county official also has a little Jiujiu in his heart, he already knew about this matter, and only said it now, and pretended to know, it was nothing more than to invite credit, so that Leng Tongxiang could make a record for him, report to Li Xingchen, and show his name, and one day the Son of Heaven might remember him.
Leng Tongxiang immediately ordered, "Pack up your things and set off for Hengshui." ”
The female soldiers moved quickly, packed their bags and folded their tents, lined up neatly in half an hour, and set off on their horses.
It was dark and set off, and the next day dawn arrived in the Heihe area of Hengshui County.
Heihe is a bandit's nest, but the name is Heihe, which is actually a valley.
And the bandits built a castle tower in the mountain passes at each end of the valley.
Under normal circumstances, as long as you hold the castle tower, you can almost sit back and relax.
It is very difficult for the people below to attack upwards, because the border below the castle tower is full of high and steep cliffs, and if you attack from the outside and inward, the cliffs will block a lot of firepower.
Instead, from the towering castle tower, you can see it at a glance.
Leng Tongxiang twisted his eyebrows and took advantage of the geographical advantage.
Your Majesty has said that there are two sides to everything, one good and one bad.
This is their advantage, but also a disadvantage, as long as the two mountain passes are blocked, the bandits are the turtle in the urn, and they can't escape.
But this kind of thing has never happened, and the Heihe bandits don't believe that anyone dares to attack them, so when Leng Tongxiang and his party arrived, the guards of the western mountain pass were very lax.
Leng Tongxiang led people to set up catapults and crossbows on the high ground, but the bandits didn't notice it, and they still chatted and slept.
However, her goal was not to kill the guards, otherwise she would have done it sooner.
Half an hour later, there was a whistle in the distance, and Leng Tongxiang knew that it was the signal for the girl to arrive at the south exit, so he immediately raised his hand and gestured with the female soldiers in the rear.
Call!
The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air roared as the bandits in charge of guarding it.
Finally sensing that something was wrong, one by one they went to the door opening below and looked out.
The next moment, dozens of arrows shot straight at the outcropping bandits' faces like a raging storm.
The surviving bandits screamed in terror and trembled with fright, and they turned around and ran away without caring about the castle tower.
It can be seen that the bandits are not regular troops, the discipline is extremely poor, there is no sense of collective honor, and there is no consciousness of not wanting to defend the homeland with your life.
The small city tower is nearly five zhang high, with steep cliffs on both sides, and the gate is made of huge and heavy iron plates, even if a dozen people are shot to death, there are still many bandits defending the city.
According to the terrain advantage, the more than 1,000 female soldiers brought by Leng Tongxiang could not break through the city tower at all.
But now, the bandits who were not shot were scared away, and the women's army easily took the tower.
Several female soldiers, carrying ladders, climbed up the stairs, opened the gate, and sent catapults and various bows and crossbows inside.
The same scene also happened at the south mouth of the Heihe River, led by the big girl, and the more than 1,000 bandits in the land attached to the Heihe River still can't figure out the situation.
The big boss hugged the robbed woman and slept sweetly, and he heard the crazy sound of slamming the door outside, which woke up the big boss and choked with anger.
"Damn. Who is it. Slam the door early in the morning and die! ”
The big boss lifted his pants and opened the door, and without saying a word, a fist hit the eye socket of the little leader of the bandits.
"Did you ever say that you shouldn't report anything big in the morning? There is no justifiable reason today to peel your skin off. ”
"Big boss, it's not good." The little leader covered his eyes, tears welling up, "Someone has broken into the door." ”
"What?" The big boss was taken aback.
"Someone's breaking in!" The little boss spoke again.
The big boss was furious, "Who has the courage to break into the door with this dog?" ”
Breaking into the door is similar to kicking the gym, the former is endless, and the latter defeats the other party and takes away the signboard, which is a manifestation of bullying to the head.
Heihe has been colluding with the government in Hengshui County for many years, and it is the most arrogant existence in this area. And the result is a new wave of bandits?
"What does the prefectural order do! How many people? The big boss asked in a deep voice.
"I don't see it clearly." The little boss replied stubbornly, "The other party is so powerful, he was shot to death when he looked out." ”
