Fifty-four: Traveling east to save the people

The group passed a few more villages to the east, and the more they walked east, the more miserable the scene became. Walking further east, I heard the shouting of horses and horses in the village in front of me, and the cries of the villagers, the screams of the people who were driven and killed, and the cries and screams of the officers and soldiers who killed people.

Hong Yunxiu said: "In order to give the officers and soldiers a surprise and sudden blow, let's hurry along the ditch, and let these officers and soldiers who have committed heinous crimes escape when they hear the news." ”

So, under the leadership of Hong Yunxiu, this team all went down the ditch and walked east along the ditch. Circling along the ditch to the front of the village, they quickly came up from the ditch, quickly appeared at the entrance of the village, and quietly rushed into the village. But they rushed into the village to take a look, but saw that the village was full of villagers who had just been killed, and the officers and soldiers had already left, and they were already a step late, so Hong Yunxiu said angrily: "We are already a step late, and let them slaughter one more village." So, he hurriedly led the Zhuang soldiers out of the village, and when he heard the shouts of killing, he rushed to another village.

They walked quickly along the ditch, quickly came to the front of the village, and suddenly came up from the ditch, appeared in front of the village like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and before entering the village, they heard the village ghosts crying wolf howls, shouting to kill, and the screams continued one after another, Hong Yunxiu gave an order, took the lead, and led the Zhuang soldiers to rush into the village.

As soon as they rushed into the village, the officers and soldiers who slaughtered the village did not know what was going on, and they suddenly found that so many people had suddenly arrived, and they were all dressed as ordinary people and holding all kinds of weapons in their hands.

Some officers and soldiers said: "It looks like they are coming towards us, not to kill us, right?"

Those officers and soldiers were still talking in a daze, those Zhuang soldiers followed Hong Yunxiu and rushed into the village, Hong Yunxiu entered the village to take a look, and saw that the village was full of killed villagers, some officers and soldiers were chasing women, some were ** women, and some officers and soldiers were killing people, Hong Yunxiu was furious and said: "Kill- Ah, the time has come to avenge the dead villagers, the time has come to hate them, now the officers and soldiers can shout, we can also shout, the two armies are connected, we can't tell the officers and soldiers apart, don't be afraid, just shout, just kill. ”

As he spoke, he took the lead and rushed towards the officers and soldiers, and a few officers and soldiers on horseback immediately reacted, and immediately led the officers and soldiers to meet them, they did not take these villagers with weapons in their eyes at all, and did not think that their death was coming, and urged them to come up and die like a group of madmen.

Hong Yunxiu first met the small colonels, he swung the knife forward, a knife waved, only one round, the small colonels of the Ming army were his opponents, that situation was like a few little sheep who did not know the height of the sky to meet a tiger, after a round and a face, Hong Yunxiu waved the Guan Gong big knife, and several small colonels were already beaten off the weapon, and Hong Yunxiu waved the knife again, and several people fell off the horse. A few small colonels didn't see it well, turned their heads and patted their horses and left, Hong Yunxiu waved his knife to catch up with the small colonel who fled to the front, and cut off the small colonel who fled to the front. At the same time, the Ming army colonel who escaped looked bad, turned his horse's head and ran back, and was chased by Hong Yunxiu, and cut down a few people, leaving two, who were knocked off their horses by Master Hongyi and Master Hongzhen, and died under the horse. The Zhuang soldiers were in the village and fought a bloody battle with the officers and soldiers. And soon launched an encirclement of the officers and soldiers.

In this battle, the Zhuang soldiers had an absolute advantage, and it was not good, and all the 500 officers and soldiers who slaughtered the village were killed. When the people saw that so many villagers with weapons suddenly came out of nowhere, and in the blink of an eye they started a fierce battle with the officers and soldiers, and soon killed all the officers and soldiers, they felt very strange, and they were even more frightened to go home and close the door. ”

The villagers still ran away while shouting, Hong Yunxiu saw it, and felt very sad in his heart, and said in his heart: "These villagers, seeing death in front of them, are still indiscriminate, it's really sad." So, he decisively ordered, to them autumn no offense, and led the Zhuang soldiers, smelling the screams, and pounced on the next village, after entering the village, and saw that the officers and soldiers were killing, so he should kill the officers and soldiers first, but in less than an hour, and all the officers and soldiers who slaughtered the village more than 600 people, killed four small colonels, Master Hongzhen said: " The villagers and the people in front of them are all afraid of being killed, the current situation is to kill and kill, and the officers and soldiers are killing them again, they have no reason not to be afraid, although they are now being killed by the officers and soldiers, but they do not understand the truth, they do not know that the officers and soldiers are going to kill all the villagers and people here, even if they do not respond to anything and do not support, they will still be killed, we must let them know all this, now we must seize the time to mobilize them, explain the truth to them, is to tell them that the time has come for them to rise up and defend themselves, otherwise, although we have saved them, as long as we leave, the officers and soldiers will kill back, they still can't escape the end of being killed。 ”

When Hong Yunxiu saw this, he said: "What the master said is exact, then we will now use half of the army to persuade and mobilize them from house to house, explain the truth to them, don't force them, they join us voluntarily, and this half of the army will fight back with the officers and soldiers of our police equipment." ”

Hong Zhendao said: "What the general said is exactly, although we have defeated the officers and soldiers twice now, and we have not let a single officer or army escape, we cannot relax our vigilance in case of accidents, but after our thousand people are dispersed, we must be able to quickly assemble after the sudden change of the situation, so that we can deal with the contingency at any time, so that we can be prepared." ”

Hong Yunxiu said: "The master reminded me very much, I don't know how to do it?" Hong Zhen said: "To let the whole village be heard in every corner within a time, this voice must be very loud, what kind of sound can be very loud? What can be used to make such a loud sound?" Master Hong Zhen also made a mistake in his heart. Hong Yunxiu said anxiously: "Master, do you think this is good?" Hong Zhendao said: "Please general, just say it." Hong Yunxiu said: "When the time comes, all the 1,000 of us in this police weapon will gather together and shout whether it is good to gather, and those of us who are scattered to every household will immediately come here to gather after hearing it, how about this?" Hong Yunxiu listened, and after giving an explanation to these Zhuang soldiers who were going to go to each household in a scattered manner, he asked them all to go to each family separately.

They came to each house, every household closed the door, they were scared to open the door, they were all outside to explain the situation to them, at first they did not believe, some of the Zhuang soldiers who could have spoken the Tao talked to them three or two times, and also pulled up the family routine, and said that the officers and soldiers Liu Sheng because of Tang Sai'er's rebellion, he shot the pioneer Liu Zhong in Qingzhou, he ordered the slaughter of the village in a fit of anger, and then regardless of whether the villagers resisted or not, they had to be killed, no one was left, it was the Hongxiu girl who heard about it, and came back specially to save the villagers, led the villagers, and launched a decisive battle with the officers and soldiers, prevented the officers and soldiers from slaughtering the village, and defeated the demon Liu Sheng who ordered the slaughter of the village by the officials and soldiers several timesNow, they are the people who came out of Hongjiazhuang, they came out to save the villagers, and they came out to mobilize the villagers to stand up bravely, resist the slaughter of the village by the officers and soldiers, and defend themselves together.

After hearing what they said, they thought that after the officers and soldiers entered the village, they would kill people indiscriminately, and they would kill them from house to house, so they couldn't help but not believe it anymore, so they opened the door and came out to accept Zhuang Bing, who told them that the villagers were still in a very dangerous situation, and if they left, the officers and soldiers would kill again, and the villagers would still be killed.

When the people heard this, they were even more frightened, in order not to kill the whole family, some villagers began to send their sons to Zhuang Bing, asking to join Zhuang Bing, and the women of those families, in order to prevent their husbands from being killed by officers and soldiers, also cried and sent their husbands to join Zhuang Bing, so that from 12-year-old boys to young men in their forties and fifties, they all came out to join Zhuang Bing, and more than 400 people joined in this village at once. Hong Yunxiu was overjoyed when he saw it, so he immediately gave them the weapons of the officers and soldiers who had been killed, and asked Zhuang Bing to teach them how to kill the officers and soldiers after they went into battle. After the meal, in the afternoon, in order to quickly save the villagers who had been killed in the next village, he led more than 2,400 people to the north and pounced on another village.

But before entering the village, it was still far away from the village, and I heard the ghost crying wolf howl in the village, and the shouting and killing of the officers and soldiers sounded together, listening to the tragic sound of this kind of officers and soldiers slaughtering the village was more violent at this time, Hong Yunxiu concluded that there would be more officers and soldiers slaughtering the village in this village, and after they entered, it might be a vicious battle, so Hong Yunxiu said loudly: " The Zhuang soldiers who came out of Hongjiazhuang, there will be more officers and soldiers who are brutally killing the people in front of them waiting for us to fight, and there will be more poor people who are about to be killed waiting for us to save them.

So, this army quickly rushed forward, but they didn't know that the Ming army in front of them who was slaughtering the village, and the Ming general who led the Ming army that slaughtered the village, were not ordinary Ming generals.

After seeing Hong Yunxiu leading the Zhuang soldiers into the village, those Zhuang soldiers who had newly joined the team really saw that the village was full of villagers who had been killed, and they saw that the villagers were all killed all over the ground, so all the worries in their hearts were dispelled at once, and they all turned into anger and resentment at once, and their hearts were suddenly full of bitter hatred for those officers and soldiers.

Hong Yunxiu saw that the villagers were dying all over the ground, and said: "We are late for this village again, hurry up, let's go east again, to save the village in the east, the officers and soldiers have carried out a dragnet-style massacre, they have already been killed, we hurry to the east to chase them again, hurry up and save the people in the next village." ”

So, they hurried out of the village quickly, Hong Yunxiu led the army to the east in a hurry, to the east for a few miles, and heard the village in the east shouted to kill, and screams, Hong Yunxiu said: "The time has come for us to save them, this time we have to be faster than the officers and soldiers, quickly kill into the village to save them, we enter the village one step earlier, they will have many people who will not be killed." With that, he rushed into the village first.

After entering the village, I met Fanhu commanding the people to slaughter the village, and I saw Fanhu shouting hoarsely and frantically: "Kill, kill, kill, kill me, kill them, leave no one, avenge General Li Jinlong, kill, kill, kill ????????."

When Hong Yunxiu saw that Fanhu commanded to kill the civilians so crazy and cruel, he couldn't help but be furious, and slapped his horse forward and shouted angrily: "General Fanhu, I let you get away with it last time in Hongjiazhuang, but I didn't expect you to slaughter the village here again, and today is your time to die." ”

As soon as Fanhu saw Hong Yunxiu, when he was fighting in the camp of Hongjiazhuang, he saw Hong Yunxiu, at that time, Hong Yunxiu killed people, people and horses became red, and now seeing that this young general is so young and appears here, he doesn't care about it, so he immediately flew on the horse, and said angrily: "You dare to call me General Biaozi, I am a famous tiger general under the account of Generalissimo Liu Sheng, you dare to add three apostrophes to the tiger character for me, and change it to Biao, don't you want to live?" Look at how I took your life today and avenged General Li Jinlong, here is different from you in Hongjiazhuang, when Li Jinlong fell for your tricks in Hongjiazhuang, see how I ended your life today. ”

After speaking, he rushed up with a little gun brandish, and the two generals fought together in an instant.
