Chapter 61: Burning Zhangjiazhuang
Walking down again, I turned a corner and suddenly opened up in front of me.
There are thatched huts, sheepfolds, cattle pens and chicken coops in this big ditch, and it seems that the livestock stolen by Zhang Ergou are hidden here. It's just that although this place is hidden, it is less than twenty miles away from Zhangjiazhuang, and it will inevitably be discovered by Zhang Dafa after a long time. However, it won't be long before the scourge of Zhang Datou will be eradicated, so Da Kui is very relieved.
Tethering the horse to a stake on the side of the hut, Da Kui entered the hut. There was a bench and a large pile of hay in the corner. Da Kui was a little tired, returned to the war horse, took out the tiger skin mattress from the saddlebag, returned to the thatched hut and spread the hay indiscriminately, and fell asleep soundly.
The snow-capped barren grass is desolate, and a bright moon hangs high in the sky.
Aodun led nearly a thousand soldiers to search along the horseshoe prints on foot, walking dozens of miles in a day and a night, except for the horseshoe prints remaining on the snow, there was not even a single horsehair. After two more miles, the soldiers came to report that some horse manure had been found on the side of the road. This is undoubtedly good news for Austun.
The army probe stepped forward to check, poked his finger into the horse's manure, and replied to Aardon for a moment: the horse team had passed no more than two hours. Aodun was overjoyed, and personally ran to the front of the team with a big sword, and the soldiers behind him were all smiling.
There is only one horse thief, and if he is caught, this skin cramp is inevitable. Fortunately, everyone will get on their horses again and rush through the blockade of the Ming army in Lanzhou. If there were no war horses, I am afraid that if they did not need to be intercepted by the Ming army in Lanzhou, if their group wanted to walk to the desert on foot, they would be tired to death.
There is a big mountain looming in front, the mountain is continuous and lies horizontally from east to west, and the mountain is like a sleeping lion in the dark night, and it looks quite majestic from a distance. Aurdun ran all the way, and the hot breath from his mouth turned into frost on his beard in a blink of an eye.
The armor was sonorous all the way, and the 1,000 yuan soldiers turned around the foot of the mountain and arrived in front of Zhangjiazhuang. At this moment, the sky was faintly bright, and Aodun saw at a glance nearly a thousand war horses tied to a row of wooden stakes in front of the village.
In a straw nest, a man was sleeping soundly on a sheepskin mattress. With a wave of his hand, two soldiers stepped forward and carried the sleeping man. This man is the guardian under Zhang Datou, and he guarded the horses here last night according to Zhang Datou's orders. Who knew that he was sleeping soundly, but he was caught and dragged away.
The soldier dragged the man in front of Autun and threw him to the ground with a sweet potato clatter.
Ao Dun stared at the man lying on the ground with a pair of angry eyes, and only after a while did he ask, "What is this place, and where did these military horses come from?"
The man was smashed to pieces, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. Seeing Aodun asking, he hurriedly argued: "The little one is just guarding the horses here according to the master's orders, and he doesn't know anything else." ”
Aodun asked again in a cold voice: "Where is your master now?"
The man didn't answer, and was just about to get up, when a soldier behind him stepped forward and stepped on the man's back. The soldier shouted loudly: "If you move again, you will die." ”
"Don't move, don't move!" The man was trampled on the ground by this foot, and only said after a while: "My lord is now at home, and I am afraid that he has not yet gotten up at this moment." ”
Aodun nodded slightly, and then ordered: "Lead the way in front of the head." Hearing this, the soldier behind the man moved his foot. The man climbed up cautiously, and two soldiers escorted him up the ramp in front of the village.
Odun turned around and ordered: "The guards will follow me into the village, and the rest of the people will take their horses as soon as possible and wait here." All the soldiers and soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty received the order together, and Aodun took a hundred guards to the village slope.
The Yuan soldiers entered the village, and there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the village. But even if it was so noisy, no one came out of the village.
Ao Dun followed the man who was watching the horse to the door of Zhang Datou's house, looking at the closed vermilion lacquer gate. Aodun not only diligently praised: "Such a deserted village, there are such exquisite people. After talking to himself, Aodun commanded: "Where is the black wind? ”
As soon as the words fell, a strong military man walked out from behind Aodun, who was three points taller and more powerful than Aodun. As the saying goes: if there is a form, there must be a power. This soldier named Black Wind came to the door three feet in front of the door, and actually slammed into the door with a loud roar. 'Bang, click' even the sound, the vermilion lacquer door was slammed off, and the bolt suddenly opened inward. As soon as the Yuan soldiers saw the door open, they immediately rushed in, and Aodun walked into the courtyard with a few cronies.
This is a large courtyard, with a total of three entrances before and after, and Zhang Datou lives in the backyard. At this moment, Zhang Datou was still asleep, not wanting a cold wind to blow, but he was uncovered. Then two soldiers lifted him from the bed...... Zhang Datou's family, together with more than 60 maids and servants, were all driven to the compound.
Ao Dun sat on a chair, looked coldly at the dozens of men, women and children in the courtyard, and asked with a cold face: "General Ben asked you, where did the horses at the entrance of the village come from?"
Zhang Datou woke up from a frightened dream to this moment, and he still didn't understand what was going on, and when he heard Aodun ask such a question, he immediately relieved his heart. Immediately separated everyone and came to Aodun, first made a respectful gesture, and then asked: "I don't know if there is a general in the army named Aodun?" As soon as the words fell, a soldier stepped forward and slapped him in the face, and the slap was really loud. Zhang Datou fell to the ground after being beaten, bleeding from the corners of his mouth.
Aodun just sneered, and the horizontal flesh on his face trembled slightly. A pair of triangular eyes shot out a cold fierce light and an unconcealable murderous intention.
Zhang Datou finally got up, and the Yuan soldier who rewarded him with a slap waved his gun is a sweep, and this gun was hitting Zhang Datou's legs and knees. The soldier shouted: "Kneel!"
'Poof', Zhang Da took a blow after his head and legs, and immediately knelt on the ground.
"General, Rong Yu. Zhang Datou is still unclear at the moment, and he just wants to clarify the reason so as not to suffer from flesh and skin again.
Aurdun smiled and asked, "What do you say?"
Zhang Datou froze, and then said: "It was a general who asked me to wait to take care of the horses, this general is a small family, and his surname is Zhang." He said that his subordinates would come to claim the horses soon, and that General Augun was his distant nephew. Zhang Datou cried with a handful of snot and tears, and when he said this, he stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then continued: "I don't know which one is General Aodun?"
Ao Dun gritted his teeth, and only after a while did he order: "Come on, behead this dog's whole family, both old and young, and not a single person in the village will be left." Set fire to the ground afterwards, let's do it. After speaking, Aodun got up and walked out of the courtyard with a few generals.
Before Zhang Datou could react to what was going on, he heard Aodun's killing order.
The 100 yuan soldiers were like wolves and tigers, each holding a weapon and rushing to Zhang Datou and his family in the courtyard, swords and guns and blood splashed five steps. In a little time, Zhang Datou's family was slaughtered. The blood was not dry, and the fire was rising. The houses in Zhang Datou's house were set on fire by the Yuan soldiers in a blink of an eye, and then the Yuan soldiers rushed to the houses in the village with torches in hand and burned everything that could be burned.
The Yuan soldiers ransacked Zhangjiazhuang, looted a little grain and livestock, and burned Zhangjiazhuang with a fire.
Da Kui was sleeping soundly by himself, but the door of the hut was suddenly pushed open. The cold sound blew into the house with frost and snow, and Xiao was wrapped in a tiger skin mattress, and it was also a little cold. Da Kui looked at it, but it was Zhang Ergou and the stone.
Zhang Ergou cried when he saw Da Kui.
Da Kui sat up, but asked puzzled, "Why are you crying?"
Zhang Ergou cried: "There are a lot of soldiers here, they killed Zhang Datou's family, and burned the village. ”
Da Kui not only sighed and said, "Didn't I tell you to let the villagers go into the mountains to avoid trouble?"
Zhang Ergou kept crying, and said for a long time: "The villagers have all entered the mountain, but my aunt is still at Zhang Datou's house...... My aunt was also killed. After that, Zhang Ergou couldn't bear it anymore and began to let out a loud cry of grief.
Seeing this, Da Kui couldn't help but persuade: "Yuan Bing is like a wolf and a tiger, and I can't help it." ”
When Shi saw Da Kui say this, he immediately shouted: "It's all your fault, because the Yuan soldiers came to burn our village." ”
Da Kui not only smiled bitterly: "What does this matter have to do with me? It was Ergou who said that he wanted to avenge his parents, and I fulfilled his wish." With that, Da Kui stood up, carefully folded the tiger skin mattress, and wrapped it in the baggage. Only then did he say: "It's not that I don't want to help you keep the village, and it's not that I don't want to help Ergou rescue her aunt." Now I am also powerful, and I have nowhere to go. The purpose of the general's trip was to monitor the movements of this force. Saying that, Da Kui sighed deeply, and then came out of the thatched house.
The flower stuffed the burden back into the saddle bag, and then untied the reins and turned to leave. Who knew that Zhang Ergou and Shi also followed out of the hut and blocked in front of Da Kui.
Da Kui couldn't help but ask, "How are you doing?"
Zhang Ergou gritted his teeth and said, "You can't just leave, the Yuan soldiers burned our village and killed my aunt." I'm going to kill Yuan Bing and avenge my aunt. ”
Hearing this, Da Kui not only smiled bitterly: "You are still young, let's wait for another two years, now that you have found these Yuan soldiers, what can you do?
Zhang Ergou and Shi glanced at each other, but Zhang Ergou said, "What if you lie to us?" We will follow you to kill the Yuan soldiers. ”
Da Kui saw that the two children were so stubborn, and there was nothing he could do for a while.
At this time, the stone said: "It's okay if you don't take us with you, you have to leave a mortgage on things." ”
Hearing this, Da Kui just wanted to laugh. Why are these two children so ghostly, and they still have to mortgage? I didn't burn the village.
Da Kui thought so, but he didn't refute it. At that moment, he took out the money bag from his bosom and said, "I have more than 100 taels of silver here, so you can take it." If I don't come back before the year, the money will be yours. ”
