Chapter 657: The thief broke through Chongde County
The two horses that were responsible for pulling the cart were untied, and two Jinyi guards with better riding skills flew on their horses and galloped along the country road in the direction of Chongde County.
Xu Jin's order to them was to rush to Chongxian County to inform the county commander Meng Chunhui and order him to immediately close the city gate to strengthen the defense. If the thieves have already launched an attack on the city, then they will rush back to Jiaxing Mansion City to move the rescue troops non-stop, and order Xie Erjian and Wang Lin'er to immediately lead the troops to help Chongde County.
In addition, Xu Jin also asked the old patriarch Mao Zhigao to send a villager who was familiar with the road, with an order stamped with the seal of the Qincha, to Hainingwei to transfer troops. Hainingwei is stationed in Haiyan County next door, only about a hundred miles away.
After everything was arranged, Xu Jin led Zhao Datou and Han Dajie and other eighteen people to leave Maojia Village, preparing to rush back to Chongde County, which was more than ten miles away.
Originally, staying in Maojia Village and waiting for reinforcements was the safest and wisest move, but Xu Jin still had a bit of luck, if he could rush to the city before the thieves launched an advance city, maybe he could save the people of this city.
Xu Jin was not a hot-headed stunned young man, but he couldn't ignore the life and death of the people in the city, and if he could rush back to the city before the thieves launched, he was completely sure that he would hold the city before the reinforcements arrived.
Because of this, Xu Jin decisively rejected the proposal of his own soldier Zhao Datou, and decided to take the risk and fight to return to the city before the thieves launched.
However, Xu Jin's plan was probably about to fail, because at the same time as he sent two Jinyi guards to report the news, dozens of ships of all sizes had already taken advantage of the high tide to land on the side of Hangzhou Bay, close to Chongde County, and seven or eight hundred thieves swarmed down, armed with miscellaneous weapons, and went straight to Chongde County with great momentum.
It is said that Mao Dazhong is just a small minion under Xu Hai, so he is not clear about Xu Hai's specific attack plan, only that Xu Hai is preparing to attack Chongde County. In fact, Xu Hai not only attacked Chongde County, but divided his troops into two routes, one to attack Chongde County, and the other to attack Haiyan County, which is next door to Chongde County, both of which are small coastal counties under Jiaxing Prefecture.
This time, Xu Hai sent a total of 800 pirates to attack Chongde County, and the team led by a Japanese man named Xin Goro, the younger brother of Shin Taro, the lord of Osumi Island, and a local pirate leader as his deputy, this person was named Huang Kan. And Xu Hai himself personally led more than 1,400 people to attack Haiyan County, which is next door to Chongde County.
Let's say that Xin Wulang and Huang Kan, the two thieves, led 800 people to land and immediately rushed to Chongde County. Most of this team of 800 people were Han pirates, and about 300 of them were Japanese pirates, and most of these more than 300 Japanese pirates did not wear pants, and they ran fast on the flat ground with bare legs and bare feet, and the swords in their hands were cold and shining, and the momentum was really terrifying.
At this time, it was about five o'clock in the afternoon, the summer days were long, so the sun was still high, and many people were still working in the fields. Some of the slower runners were caught up and hacked to death on the spot, and several peasant women were even pushed down in the fields by the pirates without pants, and the screams and screams rang out for miles.
The people of the nearby villages hurriedly packed up their few belongings, carried the food, and fled to Chongde County with their families. The common people are not stupid, there are walls and guards in the city, as long as they flee into the city, they can survive, and every time the thieves come to rob, they really don't dare to attack the city.
However, they were wrong this time, and the target of the thieves this time was precisely the county seat of Chongde.
"Yagayalu!"
Xin Wulang kicked away a widow who was stirring on the village woman, and killed the village woman with a knife, and scolded sharply: "Fool, don't waste time, when you enter the city, are you afraid that there will be no woman for you?" The Ming women in the city have more fine skin and tender meat than these village women, and there are countless gold, silver and goods. ”
When the men who were committing adultery heard this, they got up, brutally killed the village women under them, and then chased after the army with their swords.
Chongde County is more than ten miles away from the sea, and it is located in the Jiahang Plain, and the terrain is quite flat, so eight hundred thieves were killed near the south gate of Chongde County in less than half an hour.
At this time, the south gate of Chongde County has become a pot of porridge, thousands of people who dragged their families and mouths desperately squeezed to the city gate, trying to escape into the city to avoid the thieves, and the officers and soldiers in the city desperately wanted to close the city gate, but unfortunately there were too many people who fled, and the city gate hole was blocked, so the city gate could not be closed.
On a dirt slope hundreds of meters away from the city gate, several Japanese robbers stacked Arhats, and the leader of the Japanese invaders, Xin Goro, stood at the top, holding a pergola to observe the direction of the city gate, when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, licked his lips and said with a cruel smile: "Yo Xi, a group of sheep blocked the city gate, haha, God help me, kill, take Chongde County." ”
"Brothers, rush, go into the city with Lao Tzu to eat meat and drink wine, and play beautiful girls."
Xin Wulang and Huang Kan, the two thieves, gave an order, and the eight hundred thieves shouted and rushed towards the city gate. When the fleeing people who were blocking the city gate saw the thieves killed, they instantly burst out with amazing destructive power, knocking down the city gate, and then pouring into the city like a tide, and the poor dozen officers and soldiers who tried to close the gate were trampled into flesh on the spot.
Among the fleeing people who poured into the city, there was an official wearing a seven-rank official robe, and there were more than a dozen officials guarding him. This official is none other than Meng Chunhui, the county magistrate of Chongde County.
It is said that this Mengxian commander learned that Xu Jin, the lord of Qincha, actually appeared in Maojia Village, so he hurriedly took the officials with him, and prepared to go out of the city to Maojia Village to shoot his ass, who knew that he heard that the thieves were coming, and hurried back to the city, but he was mixed with thousands of fleeing people, trapped at the gate of the city, and he was helpless.
"Get out of the way, the county lord is here, get out of the way!" Those officials shouted viciously, while guarding the Meng County Order and squeezing towards the city gate.
However, the common people are usually afraid of officials like tigers, but now they are fleeing for their lives, who cares if you are the county order or the emperor, it is important to save your life, so no one gives way at all.
At this time, the thieves finally arrived, slaughtering the unarmed people like chopping melons and vegetables, and the terrible screams came and went, and the blood poured outside the southern city gate into a river, becoming like a Shura hell.
"Brothers, kill it, the gold and silver treasures in the city, the jasper of everyone's beautiful little family, and countless cloths and medicinal materials are all ours." The pirate leader Huang Kan laughed excitedly.
The 800 thieves slashed frantically with their knives, leaving behind nearly 100 corpses of civilians, and then swaggered in through the open gates.
Now it's broken, and the entire Chongde county town is like a stripped beauty, naked and exposed under the sharp claws and fangs of a herd of animals. The eyes of the eight hundred thieves lit up, and they didn't need to be agitated by the leader, they immediately began to scatter, burn, kill, and loot, doing whatever they wanted.
Meng Chunhui, the county magistrate of Chongde County, burst into tears when he saw this, and fled to the county government in a hurry under the escort of the officials.
"Hahaha, that's an official, brothers, catch him!" Huang Kan pointed to Meng Xianling, who was running away on the street, and then took the lead in chasing after him.
Those officials were fierce opponents of the pirates and pirates, and they were quickly caught up and killed, and the rest of the people didn't care whether the Meng County Order was alive or dead, and the Hula scattered and fled for their lives.
Meng Xian Ling was just a pampered literati, and he didn't run far before he fell to the ground in fright, and the pirate leader Huang Kan chased after him and cut off Meng Xian Ling's head with a single sword.
Huang Kan carried the bloody head of Meng County Order, and laughed triumphantly: "I am Huang Kan, a thief across the sea, killing a county order is like killing a chicken, hahaha!" ”
A government official who was fleeing for his life in a panic was directly frightened when he saw this.
"Boss Huang, I heard that the daughter of the county magistrate is very charming, so it is better to take it back to the big boss as the wife of the village." One of the pirates suggested with a lewd smile.
Huang Kan thought so, so he took off Meng Zhi County's seven-grade official uniform and put it on his body, and then carried the head of Meng Zhi County, and led a group of thieves to the county office. ()
