In Taifu, Wang Shujun and others, who had been anxiously waiting for Yang Gangming's news, did not wait for Yang Gangming in the end, but instead waited for a small flag from a thousand households. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!)
Xiaoqi is equivalent to a team, with more than a dozen soldiers under his command, and belongs to the lowest level of officers in the Thousand Households. He ran into Taifu in a panic, shouting as he ran: "My lord, it's not good, it's not good"
Because he was too nervous, Xiaoqi's foot tripped on the threshold and fell out.
Xiaoqi was originally choked by the fall, but he still got up twice and continued to limp towards the house, shouting: "Oh no, no, my lord." ”
Xiaoqi shouted all the way to the middle courtyard, and as soon as he passed through the middle courtyard, his shouting was heard by Wang Shujun and them.
Hearing the shouts of the little flag, Wang Shujun and the others suddenly turned to ashes, and they had basically guessed what was born.
A group of people greeted them out, and as soon as Xiao Qi saw Wang Shujun, he immediately said: "A large number of cavalry have attacked the city, most of the soldiers of Qianhu have surrendered, and Yang Qianhu has also been killed, and now they are coming towards this side." ”
"Sure enough, it's coming. Wang Shujun muttered, and the whole person shook and almost fell to the ground without standing firmly.
At this moment, Han Zhiyan rushed out quickly to support Wang Shujun, and Han Zhi said, "Be careful, adults." ”
Wang Shujun glanced back at Wei Youcai and them, he shook his head and said, "It's over, it's all over."
"Not necessarily. Wei Youcai narrowed his eyes slightly, he glanced at Zhao Pu and nodded.
Zhao Pu took a step forward and said, "Don't panic, my lord, we have already used the flying pigeon to inform the Haisha Gang early in the morning. The Haisha Gang is one of the largest salt gangs in Yunnan, with nearly 10,000 people. This time we offered 500,000 taels of silver to ask them to help, and they had already agreed. As soon as we give the signal, they will rush into the city. ”
"What?" Wang Shujun was slightly stunned, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Put a signal and let them come into the city!"
Zhao Pu and the others were immediately overjoyed, they all looked at Zhao Pu, Zhao Pu took out a black hard lump from his arms and handed it to Wei Youcai: "Master Wei, find a fire in life, and then throw this thing inside, people outside the city will see it." ”
"Good. Wei Youcai took the black hard block and left immediately.
The Salt Gang, as the name suggests, is a gang that specializes in selling illicit salt. The salt itself is made by boiling and drying seawater or salt lake water or underground natural brine, and the cost is very small. However, because salt is a necessity of people's life and is controlled by the government, the selling price is not known to be much higher than the actual cost price.
Take the salt collected by the government from salt households, after careful calculation, they only received 20 yuan for a pound of salt. In fact, what is the selling price on the market? 300 wen a catty. Thirty times the profit.
The people of the Salt Gang took a fancy to the profits, so they privately collected private salt from salt farmers at a price twice as high as the government, and then found a channel to sell it at a low price, generally at a price of 200 wen a catty. Because they don't pay taxes, their profits are also extremely high.
However, trafficking in illicit salt is a capital offense, and its crime is tantamount to complicity. Therefore, the people of the Salt Gang often gather a large number of gangs in order to protect themselves, and the most powerful Haisha Gang is even more amazing. They claim to have more than 10,000 people, and there may be water in them, but there are seven or eight thousand.
Let the Salt Gang help, if it fails in the end, it will be a big crime enough to destroy the family. Therefore, although the situation was critical, Zhao Pu and the others did not get Wang Shujun, and when they nodded, they still did not dare to call the shots privately, and let the people of the Salt Gang come into the city to help.
But now that Wang Shujun nodded, Zhao Pu and they naturally didn't have to worry about anything anymore. The so-called sky falls, there are naturally tall people on top, as long as the people of the Salt Gang come in, after Jiangxia and they are all killed, Wang Shujun will naturally have a way to clean up the mess.
It's a big deal, just report it to the top, saying that Jiangxia and they accidentally encountered the salt gang members, and the two sides broke out in a bloody battle, and finally Jiangxia and they died heroically, and then Wang Shujun pretended to ask the imperial court to reward Jiangxia in the name of Yongning Mansion. Even if the imperial court sends someone to investigate, the whole of Yunnan is theirs, and I believe that nothing can be found.
On the side of the city gate of Yongning Mansion, Jiang Xia tied the hands and feet of the surrendered soldiers with ropes one by one, and then prepared to leave a part of the cavalry to guard the city gate.
At this moment, a puff of black smoke rose from the southeast direction in Jiangxia and soared into the sky.
The black smoke was like a huge pillar, and Jiang Xia suddenly exclaimed when he saw the pillar: "Not good!"
He could see at a glance that the black smoke was rising from the direction where Taifu was located, and at this moment, such smoke appeared for no reason, and it was obvious that it was used to notify reinforcements.
Jiang Xia turned his head and glanced at Yang Yiqing and said, "There are reinforcements." ”
Yang Yiqing nodded, and he said lightly: "It's okay, there are reinforcements to kill." ”
"Go to Taifu to catch people first, don't let the fish escape from the net. Jiang Xia saw that Yang Yiqing was so determined, and he was also relieved in his heart.
There is really no other way now, and if there are really reinforcements coming, it can only be a desperate battle.
Jiang Xia and his party rode horses to Taifu. The corpses strewn across the city gate made the street vendors and pedestrians disappear without a trace, and no pedestrians were encountered along the way. There is not even a single open shop.
Jiang Xia and they pulled to the gate of Taifu, the gate of Taifu was closed, and the roof was already full of archers. It is foreseeable that as long as Jiang Xia rushes over, what awaits them is a round of arrow rain.
Yang Yi glanced at the roof, and immediately ordered, "Crossbowmen prepare." ”
Yang Yiqing and the others came on light horses, so they couldn't bring too much equipment. However, the bows and crossbows used by the cavalry for riding and archery were not forgotten to bring a batch with them.
After hearing Yang Yiqing's order, the cavalry in charge of the charge in front spread out to both sides, and a thousand cavalry in the back came up and sent out one by one, and the cavalry were still on their horses, but those with bows and arrows and crossbows and arrows had all set their arrows on the strings, and the tips of the arrows were directly facing the roof.
"Shoot the arrows!" Yang Yiqing ordered, and a rain of arrows immediately shot at the guards on the roof of Taifu.
The so-called strong bow and hard crossbow, where is the standard bow and crossbow used by the army can be compared with the ordinary bows and arrows used for hunting in the hands of the guards on the roof of Taifu. All of them brought by Yang Yiqing this time were elite soldiers, and the bows and arrows in his hands were eight-bucket bows, and their range was more than twice as far as that of ordinary bows and arrows. As for the hard crossbow, not to mention, it is not something that these guards in Taifu can have at all, it belongs to the exclusive equipment of the army.
Just a round of arrow rain passed, and no one stood on the roof of Taifu, even if someone was lucky not to be hit by the arrow, he couldn't bear to jump off the roof.
Jiang Xia and the others were about to rush into Taifu, but at this time, Jiang Xia suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
He rolled down from his horse and put his ear to the ground to listen.
Yang Yiqing also did the same action, and the two raised their heads at the same time, and said almost at the same time: "There are many people here." ”
Jiang Xia was slightly startled, he heard it with his ear power, but Yang Yiqing was different. He was only judging by the barely perceptible sensation of the ground trembling.
Yang Yiqing said to Jiang Xia: "The emperor's will is for me to listen to you, you say, do you rush in first to arrest people or kill people first." ”
Jiang Xia smiled, he shook his head and said, "You, a person from a civil service, talk about killing people at every turn, if you go to the Confucian Temple to worship in the future, I'm afraid that the Confucian saint will not like you." ”
Yang Yiqing shook his head and said, "I, Yang Yingning, never worship Kong Sheng, I worship Martial Saint Guan Yunchang." ”
Ying Ning is Yang Yiqing's cousin. Hearing Yang Yiqing say this, Jiang Xia's heart suddenly had a good impression of this person. He laughed and said: "Okay, what a Wenchen who worships the martial saint and does not worship the Confucian saint, for your words, it should be a big deal." After this is over, I must have a drink with Lord Yang. ”
"Then kill people first or arrest people first?" Yang Yiqing asked with a smile.
Jiang Xia had just tasted the Yanling knife in his hand, and he squinted his eyes with a fierce light: "Of course you kill first, a man was born in the world, he should kill people, and he will be immortal for thousands of years, all in killing!"
After speaking, Jiang Xia turned over and got on his horse, lightly clamped the horse's belly, and walked towards the place where the sound came from.
Yang Yiqing followed closely with soldiers and horses, Zhong Bin and Han Mufeng walked on the left and right sides of Jiangxia, faintly protecting Jiangxia in the middle.
Jiang Xia and the others turned back and walked to the city gate.
At this moment, the Ganshan cavalry, who were guarding the surrendered soldiers at the city gate, rode over, and when they saw Yang Yiqing, they immediately said: "My lord, there are about 7,000 people coming, and most of them have blades. ”
Yang Yiqing nodded and said, "Okay, join the team." ”
"Yes!" the group of cavalry returned to the ranks.
Yang Yiqing ordered: "The cavalry is in full formation!"
All cavalry immediately control the movement of their horses, and when they want to charge, the cavalry must maintain a basic distance, so as to facilitate the charge, otherwise the horsepower of the war horse will not be released.
Yang Yiqing glanced at Jiang Xia, and Jiang Xia said coldly: "Don't kill it!"
Yang Yiqing yelled: "Don't kill!"
"Shoot or kill!" shouted the entire cavalry in unison.
Slowly, the Haisha Gang came over with long knives in their hands. The people in front of them were lined up, and I don't know how many people were following behind. Almost everyone had a steel knife in their hand, and the blade looked quite powerful when pointed diagonally at the ground.
Seeing these people slowly leaning over, Jiang Xia shouted: "One step further, it will be regarded as a rebellion, and it will be killed!"
"Kill!"
This sound turned out to be the first to be shouted by the people of the Haisha Gang, and then they rushed over in a hurry.
It is said that the Salt Gang is full of outlaws, and everyone is proud of begging for a living with their heads pinned to their trouser belts, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.
Seeing that the other party rushed over first, Yang Yiqing also shouted: "Kill!"
Suddenly the horses neighed, and the horsemen raised their front hooves under their hips, and then rushed out with a sharp swoop.
