Chapter 267: The Last Glory of Majiazhuang
"General Wu just said, you want to give me a military stick, right?"
Song Che gently lit the lamp.
Wu Qiong hurriedly removed the pillow, his eyes stared at the door, but there was a smile on his face, "Strategist, I have a mouth......
"Okay, you can't run away tonight, tell me honestly, who asked you to kill Peng San's mother and son?"
Jiang Yuntian tilted his sword, and the sword slashed across Wu Qiong's cheek, and before he could make a move, he was already injured.
Wu Qiong's face was paler than the corpse on the bed, he stared at the sword in Jiang Yuntian's hand, and finally softened his kneecaps, kneeling and begging for mercy:
"The general spared his life, it was Ma Sanye who asked me to do this......"
This answer is not unexpected.
"I'm curious, how did you poison them?" Song Che asked.
Wu Qiong said in a trembling voice: "Chopsticks ......"
I see, the food is not poisonous, but the chopsticks that hold the vegetables are poisonous.
"General, military advisor, I am also forced to do it, my wife and children are all in Taizhou, if I don't do things for them, my family's lives will be difficult to protect!" Wu Qiong cried and pleaded.
Killing someone for the sake of his own family obviously does not justify him.
Killing him will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Ma family, Jiang Yuntian stunned him with a sword, and then ordered someone to tie him up and secretly detain him.
"In this way, the Ma family also has a share of the gold mine in Shedao."
"It's just that I pity Peng San's mother and son."
Jiang Yuntian sighed and regretted.
How can Song Che be worthy of it? During the day, he also promised to give Peng San protection, but at night he was killed by traitors, and the bad guys were too rampant.
"You go down and interrogate Wu Qiong well, and restrict all the officers in the old Taizhou Army who have received the favor of the Ma family, and it will be the Ma family's birthday in two days, and it must be done without leakage."
"Don't worry, I'll go down with a few whips to make sure he explains clearly!"
……
November 27, the eve of the Ma family's birthday.
Song Che secretly summoned Ning Yehong, Jiang Yuntian, Xu Chong, the then capital supervisor, and Huang Xiong, all of whom were trustworthy henchmen and officers, lined up in the military tent and sought to capture Majiazhuang tonight.
"First of all, analyze the topography of Majiazhuang."
Song Che first pointed to the Majiazhuang sand table that had already been drawn and said:
"This village is built against the hills, there are 1,500 households, nearly 10,000 people, and more than 2,000 armed people. But these numbers are only estimates, the Ma family clan is huge, and you can fight if you pick up a hoe, so we are not only facing armed villagers, but 10,000 Ma clan people;
Majiazhuang south, west, north three sides are not passable, only the east side can enter and exit, the east gate is built with a wall, about two zhang high, there are 1,000 Zhuang guest guards stationed in the station, under the east gate is the Majiazhuang barracks;
The number of our army is less than that of Majiazhuang, so we cannot storm it, but can only outwit it; ”
At this point, he looked at Ning Yehong: "How many jars of wine did Majiazhuang order from Tianxiang Inn?" ”
Ning Yehong said: "I bought five hundred altars, gave five hundred altars, a total of one thousand altars, all of them were added with sweat medicine, as long as you drink a sip, you will pour it within half an hour." ”
"Good." Song Che praised, "A thousand jars of wine, even if there is no sweat medicine, you can get drunk with a large number of villagers,"
He instructed Ning Yehong again:
"After nightfall, you pick as many of your subordinates as possible, pretend to be a man transporting wine, and infiltrate Majiazhuang, and stay in the village, wait for the banquet to begin, wait for the wine to pass the three rounds, send a few people to sneak into the west of Zhuangzi, set fire to the house, and burn as much poop as you can;
When the farmer in the east saw that there was a fire in the west, he would definitely allocate men to fight the fire, so that the defense of the east side would be weakened;
At this time, you pretend to leave the village, but in fact control the eastern city gate, which is very difficult, and you must hold on until the Taizhou army kills you. ”
Song Che reminded with concern and asked Ning Yehong: "Do you have confidence?" ”
Ning Yehong puffed up her chest, "Our dark department, one is ten, no problem!" ”
Song Che nodded, turned his head to look at Xu Chong and Huang Xiong:
"The two generals, leading 500 people, took off their uniforms, disguised as widows, and hid in the snow half a mile away from the east gate of Majiazhuang.
You must remember that everyone must wear a yellow ribbon around their neck, and they must not be torn off under any circumstances, so as not to be killed by mistake by the follow-up troops, which is the most important thing! ”
"We should take the words of the military advisor to heart, but ...... Strategist, why do you want us to pretend to be a widow? Xu Chong and Huang Xiong were puzzled.
"Well, I'll explain it to you later."
Song Che finally looked at Jiang Yuntian:
"Brother Jiang, you and I led a thousand horses and infantry to hide in the snow two miles away from the east gate, as long as the 'Japanese Invaders' entered the city, you will lead the fast horses to drive straight in, in the name of 'eliminating the Japanese Invaders', rush into the banquet, capture the thief and capture the king first, and kill all the close relatives of the Ma family;
Others burned and killed Majiazhuang, regardless of the big house or small building, men, women and children, but anyone who did not wear a yellow silk scarf was killed; After tonight, Majiazhuang and the Ma family will disappear from Taizhou forever! ”
Chop the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows, the Ma family is too powerful, there are too many anti-bones, and only by killing them all can we never get rid of future troubles.
"As for why we pretend to be the Japanese invaders first to break the door - throughout the ages, large and small wars, we have paid attention to a 'famous division', although we know that Majiazhuang colluded with the Japanese invaders, but we have never grasped their substantive handle;
There are more than 10,000 people in Majiazhuang anyway, and this Majiazhuang birthday banquet has invited all the powerful gentry in Taizhou, if the whole village is slaughtered only on the charge, the repercussions will definitely cause a sensation, and thus fall into the whirlpool of public opinion;
put the charge on the head of the widow and secretly transfer the contradiction, even if some people are suspicious, they have no way to say it; Not only that, but the generals who participated in the anti-Japanese war can also get a reward for their military achievements, which is beneficial and harmless. ”
After listening to the explanation, Xu Chong and Huang Xiong's doubts in their hearts suddenly disappeared, and they couldn't help but admire: "The military advisor is really a god!" ”
"Strategizing is just the moment, and it depends on the authorities to win a thousand miles, hold this breath first, and then be happy after breaking Majiazhuang tonight."
………
gradually
Night falls.
Xu Chong and Huang Xiong led 500 "Japanese Invaders", dispersed into ten batches, and successively moved to the designated location in the dark; Jiang Yuntian led two hundred cavalry, wrapped the horse's feet in cotton cloth, and took the first step, while Song Che led eight hundred infantry to follow later.
By the time, both armies had already laid an ambush.
Song Che looked at the east gate of Majiazhuang with a telescope, and sure enough, the defense was much sparser, only a few dozen people patrolled and stood guard on the wall, and there would definitely not be many Zhuang guests in the gate camp.
"Everyone is drinking wine and eating meat, but we are suffering from the cold and taking turns to keep vigil......
This must be the inner thoughts of every defender of the city, once the heart is unbalanced, he will slack off, and the defense will naturally be weak.
"Whoosh!"
A firework rushed into the sky from the village, bursting into a colorful fireworks, and then a series of fireworks burst into the air, accompanied by the sound of "crackling ......" firecrackers resounded in the sky.
The birthday feast began.
"It's pretty good." Jiang Yuntian looked at the fireworks in the sky and sighed.
Song Che slowly closed his eyes, disdainful of this beauty, and said softly:
"This will be the last glory of the Ma family."
