Forty-three: The unlucky general is burned
Sanjie came out of Lan'er's house, and came to the house of the patriarch of each surname in the village, and told the patriarch of each surname that the officers and soldiers would come back to slaughter the village, and said that there are five surnames in the village, the first surname is the surname Meng, that is, the proportion of the surname Meng can be more, the second surname is the surname Fan, the third surname is the surname Qi, the fourth surname is the surname Li, the fifth surname is the surname Song, the patriarch surnamed Song and the patriarch surnamed Li have been killed by the officers and soldiers, only the three patriarchs surnamed Meng and the surname Fan surnamed Qi are left, So they immediately contacted their respective clans, those men from every household have come out with sticks and hoes, and they all said together that they want to kill officers and soldiers with the three brothers of Sanjie, the men of the two surnames saw this situation in the village, and they also came out to join, this Mengzhuang was originally a well-known big village around Fang, although a third of the people had been killed by the officers and soldiers, but still gathered more than 600 people at once, these 600 people jointly pushed Sanjie as the leader, Fan Yihu, the boss of Sanjie, said:" Although I am old, but I am a rough person, there is no little two fine in my heart, as the saying goes, a thousand people are in charge of one person, just let Xiao Eryi Leopard be our leader, and I and Xiao San are the deputy leaders. β
The second Fan Yibao said: " Big brother and don't think so, although the eldest brother is coarse-hearted, but not confused, as long as I and the third brother are here, the three of us discuss and decide together, it's still the same, and there is the patriarch of the village, we discuss and decide together, as long as the eldest brother is not confused and willing to listen, this is also the same, the eldest brother and the third brother are brave, this is not as good as this, I admit that I am opportunistic, it is not as good as the eldest brother and the third brother to kill the enemy in battle, please don't shirk the eldest brother, the current burden is not the younger brother is unwilling to pick it up, it is really the younger brother himself admits that it is not possible, it is a top priority, such a heavy burden The eldest brother does not pick who can pick it upγ β
Fan Yihu saw it and said: "Since this is the case, then I will be, I will be the leader, from now on, we will go into battle to see the officers and soldiers, fight together, never retreat, and always live and die with the people in the village, as long as we are here, they will be there, if they are not there, then we will all die." Fan Yihu said the most unlucky, but this is the truth, but also his full of true love and enthusiasm of the show, and with the whole village of the people of the heart, although he said not much, but said that the three surnames of the patriarch are in tears, the men, women and children in the village are crying, this fierce village to resist the Ming army slaughter of the village, it is in this situation, tragic and magnificent formation.
But even if it is such a team, a team of only 600 people, a village, and it has not built the Zhuangzi wall like Hongjiazhuang, can it compete with the officers and soldiers?
At that moment, the more than 1,300 Ming troops, under the leadership of this tooth general, rushed to Mengzhuang, wanting to come to wash Mengzhuang in blood.
This general did not leave his name in the story, only the legend is that he led 1,300 men and horses, he was an unknown person, his skills and character were no different from Shen Shizong, he was an arrogant man who did not know the height of the sky. In his heart, he thought that the three villagers could have any skills, and the three villagers were only worthy of beating and defeating his generals, and killing the officers and soldiers led by the generals, so he didn't take the three heroes of Mengzhuang to heart at all, and he didn't take the three heroes of Mengzhuang seriously at all, but was very arrogant, thinking that after he came, no matter what, as long as he made a move, he would kill the three heroes without much effort.
But his arrogant heart didn't think about it, these three heroes could kill his five hundred officers and soldiers at once, and he could defeat his two generals, and they would not be three ordinary villagers, but where could he think about these arrogant hearts? Naturally, the 1,300 men and horses who were leading him to death couldn't wait to pounce on Mengzhuang like a swarm of crazy bees.
When he came to the outside of Mengzhuang Village, the general first ordered the team to stop, so that it seemed that he admired his wisdom very much, and he looked very proud and arrogant to several of his subordinates: "Is it such a village? If all of you 800 people go together, it will be 800 pigs, and they can't kill them so happily, maybe they will be killed in turn at that time, I don't believe it, those three people are not riding horses, you all go together, what is so difficult to kill such three people? It must be no problem, of course, this is not to blame you, you didn't know in advance that there were such three people in this village, today I will see how General Ben will clean up these three people for you to see. β
One of his subordinate officers said: "General, when you say this, yes, as the saying goes, a good dog can't add a pack of wolves, not to mention that we are not pigs and people, and the general is clever when he sees things." The tooth army of the unknown general said: "Otherwise, how can I be a tooth general, you are all small colonels? This is the fundamental difference." β
Another colonel said: "What if those three people don't come out? Let's go in and look for them again? Aren't they scattered again?" The tooth general said: "I'm not afraid of him, I have a way to lure them out." The little colonel said: "Do you have any way to lure them out?" The tooth general said: "Platoon a hundred people and then go into the village to kill them, as soon as those three people appear, come to kill our hundred people, these hundred people will run out quickly, as long as they come to chase, this will be easy to do, I will immediately surround them, I don't believe that so many people kill the three of them, they will not be killed, as long as these three people die, this village will not be a problem." β
The little colonel said: "This method is good, then do it." The tooth general said: "Am I the one who has the final say, or are you the one who has the final say?" Listening to your words is as if you are greater than my officials, as if I am making suggestions and you are adopting. The colonel said, "General, no, I didn't mean that. The tooth general said, "Then what do you mean?" The little colonel said, "I, I am in favor of your method." The general said: "You approve of my method? Doesn't that mean the same thing? Do you agree that only the superior approves of the subordinate, and the subordinate approves of the superior? The subordinate only obeys and obeys the superior, and does not approve of the meaning of whether it is good or not, do you understand?" The little colonel said: "I understand, I understand." β
The tooth general said: "It's good that you understand, then you quickly rush into the village with a hundred people for me, don't worry, don't be afraid, I won't let you go to death, go." The little colonel immediately had a difficult look on his face and said: "Can these 100 people do it? It won't be too few, right?" The tooth general said: "It's a lot, and it's not for you to kill these three people, it's for you to go into the village to lure them out, don't you say that these three people didn't ride horses? "Okay, then I'll try. β
The tooth general said: "You don't have to try, you can go as soon as you go." β
After speaking, the tooth general gave this little school a hundred men and horses, and let him lead it, so he was very frightened, and walked to Mengzhuang's minions with a look of east and west. When the tooth general saw this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Look at it, how scared they are? What kind of three people are they? Just scare them like this? It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, look at me and kill those three people in a moment." As he spoke, he watched them enter the village cautiously, and none of the school officers on the side dared to speak, for fear that if he spoke again, he would lead trouble to himself, and the next thing to do so would find his head. There the tooth general was talking to himself. The hundred people who watched them enter the village, but they only heard the sound of weapons moving, and there was no more sound, and they did not hear their shouts, and the tooth general continued to wait curiously. But after waiting for an hour, he didn't see any more noise in the village, nor did he see the hundred people come out, and he couldn't hear their voices, and it seemed that the village was quiet, as if there were no other hundred people in the village. I waited for another half an hour, and it was the afternoon, and I didn't see the hundred people come out. The tooth general waited a little anxiously and said, "What are they doing? Did something good happen? Did the people in the village scare away when they saw me coming, and they left many treasures, and they all went to grab the treasures when they saw them?"
When the school officials saw that the tooth general was there and thought to themselves, they all felt that something was wrong when they looked at it, but they didn't dare to say it to the tooth general, and they were afraid that the tooth general would let them go in and have a look again, so they all pretended to be confused there, and watched what the tooth was going to do again. So they waited until it was dark, and they didn't see the hundred people coming out, and the tooth general couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Are they going to die silently?" No, even if they send a hundred pigs to kill those three people, there will be a sound, and they will bark, not to mention that there are a hundred people, there will be no sound at all, is it clearly not right, are there some beautiful women in this village who have not run away? They all see beautiful women and want to be sons-in-law and don't want to kill them? Don't want to come back? This is not right, in the past, after they met beautiful women, they were not like this, they were all killed after rape, and they all dug out the stomachs of those women, and it took so long, from the perspective of time, this is even more wrong, so what's going on?"
In this way, after thinking twice, it was dark, and those officers and soldiers who had been killing people all shouted that they were hungry, wanted to eat, and some said that they wanted to rest, and they were really tired. When the tooth general saw it, when he heard the meal, he also felt that his stomach was already rumbling with hunger, so he said: "Okay, okay, okay, let's find a place to set up camp first, rest for a night after eating, and then kill them tomorrow after resting, anyway, their homes are here, and the monks can't run away from the temple, even if they run to the wild to hide, we can still find them again if we follow the birds to find people, anyway, they can't escape sooner or later." So saying, he led the group of officers and soldiers to find a flat place, set up tents, bury pots for cooking, and after dinner, set up camp tents and sentry posts, and they were all tired and went to sleep.
When the sentries saw that they had all gone to sleep and let them stand guard here, they scolded: "Damn, they have all been running around all day the same day, let them all go to sleep, let us stand guard here, and kill people like them during the day, who can stand it, if you don't sleep in vain, you won't sleep, anyway, there are so many of us and the three of them will definitely not dare to come." With that, they all figured it out and went to find a place to sleep. But they had just slept until midnight, when suddenly the camp tent was on fire, and they were burned by the fire, and those sentry posts, who were tired from killing people during the day, were also awakened by the fire and the sound of screams, and they saw the officers and men running hard by the fire, but there was still a lot of firewood and grass burning in their camp, and those officers and men were burned and screamed and ran outward, and some of them crashed out and then crashed back, shouting: "There are many people waiting outside to kill, and whoever goes out will be killed by them." When the tooth general heard this, he understood, and said, "They are going to burn us, and if they want to burn us, we will not let us run, and then run in the other direction, will there be people in the other direction?" When the tooth general heard this, he suddenly realized: "My hundred people must have fallen into their trap, and they must have died, these are three people, are they obviously a lot of people?" β
At this time, some officers and soldiers suddenly shouted: "General, there is no one in that direction, and those who ran in that direction have not returned, and they must have all run out." Then the tooth general said, "Quick, just run in that direction." So he led the people to run in that direction, and it was dark at night, and although there was a fire shining brightly, the smoke of the fire made people unable to see anything clearly, and these officers and soldiers fled with the general, but they all fell into the pit one by one, and were stabbed to death by the sticks sharpened with wood in the pit, and they died without even shouting and jumping into it, and some of them were hit by the iron stool used by the tiger, and they were killed without even screaming, and the tooth will ride on the horse, and the horse is also broken by the skewer, and the tooth will fall off the horse, and fall into the pit and be stabbed to death by the wooden stickγ
It was almost dawn for the officers and soldiers to desperately escape a small group of officers and soldiers, who were chased by the villagers led by Sanjie, and had nowhere to escape, so they all fled to the camp of the officers and soldiers besieged Hongjiazhuang by Liusheng. At first, the battalion of officers and soldiers was blindfolded by the two-sided king Yang Lin and could not see them, so although they were chased and killed, no one saw them to meet them.
