Chapter 126: Intimidating
26 Shocking
(Today's first chapter is presented, thank you all before, please collect and subscribe, thank you!! ).
In the early morning of June 5, 637, in the south of Yongcheng County, a team of more than 100 officers and soldiers left Yongcheng County under the farewell of Wang Yong, the county capital, Cai Tianyuan, the head of the Cai family, Liu Qinghai, and other squires.
"Hehe, big brother, let's eat good wine and meat in Yongcheng County, the brothers are a little reluctant to leave!"
Zhao Jie rode a high-headed horse with more than 100 officers and soldiers swaggering on the official road, and an officer and soldier behind him led the horse for him, and said with a flattering face.
"Indeed, the Cai family is generous enough, but unfortunately we still have a task to do, and time does not allow us to continue to stay here."
At this time, when Zhao Jie thought of the silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver that he was carrying in his arms, the smile on his face became even brighter.
He didn't know that there were people waiting for him on the road ahead, but he was afraid that he would have a life to take the hundred taels of silver, but not to spend it! At this time, in a small forest more than ten miles away from the southeast official road, Li Zixiao's men were already ready, waiting for the enemy to enter their ambush circle.
An hour and a half later, Li Zixiao and the others finally waited for this group of officers and soldiers, who were obviously unprepared for someone to ambush him here, laughing and talking with each other one by one.
"Dazhu, let the brethren prepare, listen to my orders and start attacking."
Li Zixiao was standing in the small forest on the left side of the official road, looking at the group of officers and soldiers who appeared swaggering on the official road at this time, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said to Zhou Dazhu next to him.
"Attack!"
When this group of officers and soldiers reached the center of the official road forest, Li Zixiao gave an order, and Zhou Dazhu, who had been prepared for a long time, left and rushed out of the forest with two hundred and fifty pikemen and sword and shield soldiers.
As soon as Zhou Dazhu and his men rushed out of the woods, they immediately followed the plan they had planned before, and two hundred and fifty of his men quickly formed three spear phalanxes, which surrounded this group of officers and soldiers in a fan shape, and slowly approached each other.
"Put the spear flat, walk in unison, one, two, one."
Under the slogan shouted by Li Zixiao himself in the back, the three columns of pikemen in front, under the protection of the two-wing sword and shield soldiers, pressed towards the panicked group of officers and soldiers on the official road.
And the group of officers and soldiers on the official road, when Li Zixiao and the people had just rushed out of the woods, were also taken aback, scattered into a mess, and then stabilized their positions in Zhao Jie's shouting.
"Damn, there is such a bandit who is not long-eyed, and he dares to attack Lao Tzu, brothers should go up and hack them to death."
When Zhao Jie saw that there were bandits ambushing them, he immediately became angry and roared loudly at his subordinates.
In fact, this Zhao Jie really has no ability to lead soldiers, and he is just a bandit together, and he was later ordered by the government and put on an official skin.
And Zhao Jie took the initiative to join the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture to do things, in fact, he acted as a dog for others, specializing in doing some things for the prefect that could not see the light, but he also mixed up, and followed those big corrupt officials to make a lot of money.
Therefore, Zhao Jie still had the same way he used to fight as a bandit, ordering his subordinates to rush up and slash and kill, and the battle depended on the courage of his subordinates.
The more than 100 officers and soldiers under Zhao Jie experienced the panic at the beginning, and reacted that there were bandits who dared to come and ambush them, and they immediately became angry and cursed loudly, but they didn't pay attention to Li Zixiao and them at all.
"Everyone, rush to kill this group of things that don't know whether they are alive or dead, and dare to ambush us."
These officers and soldiers did not change their banditry, they were used to being arrogant, and they didn't pay attention to Li Zixiao and them at all, and rushed towards the queue of three captains in a daze.
But when this group of guys who didn't know whether they were alive or dead rushed to the front and back of the spear array, they found that the other party was like a big hedgehog, and they had nowhere to put their mouths.
When the few people who rushed to the front were stabbed by spears and died tragically, these guys finally came to their senses, and they could see that a frontal assault on such a spear phalanx was no different from looking for death.
Especially the unlucky guys in front have already paid with their lives for their recklessness, like pouring cold water on the heads of the people behind.
Don't look at these guys who have changed their official skins, they look very fierce on weekdays, bullying the people, molesting women, taking advantage of the arrogant, arrogant and domineering, this kind of thing will be learned as soon as you learn.
But behind their seemingly fierce and arrogant nature is their nature that is becoming more and more afraid of death.
When they experienced glory and wealth and enjoyed a life of drunkenness, all this completely corroded their previous hearts that were not afraid of death and dared to fight.
In the past, they thought that they had a cheap life, and if they died, they would die, it was no big deal, in order to get a bite to eat and let themselves live, they dared to fight with their lives.
But when they were ordered by the imperial court, they followed their boss to follow a big official, helping the big official deal with some shady things, extortion, killing people and setting fires.
When the big man eats meat, he will not forget to throw two bones for his lackeys to eat, which makes these people have a lot of savings in their hands and live a luxurious life.
At this time, no one wants to rush up, whoever rushes again is ****, who doesn't want to go back alive, and there is a room of concubines at home waiting for him!
As a result, there was a strange scene at the scene, more than 100 people had just rushed up viciously, but just a few people died, and they all retreated.
"Who told you to step back, rush!" Zhao Jie was riding on his horse behind, watching his subordinates all retreat as soon as they rushed up, and immediately shouted angrily.
"Big brother, this thief's spear formation is too sharp, and a frontal attack is not good for us." At this time, some subordinates came out to persuade Zhao Jiedao.
"What then?" Zhao Jie kicked angrily and asked loudly.
"Judging from the small, this pole is menacing and numerous, so we might as well avoid the edge for the time being and look for fighters." What this person said sounded good, and he couldn't just persuade Zhao Jie to escape.
"No, how can a mere pole easily scare us away, if this reaches the ears of those guys in Kaifeng, if you don't laugh at me, you can't retreat."
Zhao Jie decisively rejected his subordinates' proposal to retreat, and recently he was competing with several other lackeys under the Kaifeng prefect for the opportunity to take the position.
At this time, if it was rumored that he encountered an ambush with a pole and retreated without a fight, it would be too unfavorable for him, so at this time, Zhao Jie gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates to re-stabilize their positions and face Li Zixiao and them.
"Cut, a group of cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death, they just retreated as soon as they made contact, everyone listened to the order and accelerated their pace to force up." Li Zixiao saw the performance of Zhao Jie's subordinates just now, with a look of contempt in his eyes, and said disdainfully.
"One-two-one, thorn!"
Poof, poof......
Ahh......hhh
When Zhao Jie ordered his subordinates to rush forward and fight Li Zixiao again, the fierce battle began, and the result was a nightmare for Zhao Jie and his subordinates.
As rows of ten spears stabbed at the oncoming officers and soldiers, two or three unlucky people would be stabbed on the spot and fall screaming.
And some skilled officers and soldiers used the long knives in their hands to swing away the spears that stabbed in the face, and then rubbed their bodies forward, and killed the pikemen along the gap between the two guns, and they also knew some ways to deal with the pikemen.
But before he could take a few steps forward, the spearmen of the second platoon stabbed the tip of their spear through the gap and pierced his chest, and died instantly.
And a small number of officers and soldiers also planned to attack on both sides of the pikemen, but they were blocked by Zhou Dazhu and the sword and shield soldiers, and the battlefield situation fell to Li Zixiao's side as soon as it came up.
"A group of rabble, it's really boring, blow the trumpet to inform Wei Hong that it is their turn to attack, and the battle will be over long ago." Li Zixiao looked at the battle in front of him, no longer raised a trace of interest, and ordered.
Coo-goo-goo......
As the trumpeter blew a horn, Wei Hong, who was waiting behind the gentle slope, and a dozen scouts led behind him.
Coupled with Luo Chao and the five servants who followed him, he immediately drove his horse and rushed out behind Wei Hong, swooped down from the gentle slope, and cut into the ranks of this group of officers and soldiers from behind.
The more than 20 cavalry led by Wei Hong and Luo Chao, brandishing a bright saber, came out from behind, Zhao Jie and a group of his subordinates were instantly dumbfounded.
Now Li Zixiao doesn't have a professional cavalry in his hands, so he can only let these scouts play the role of cavalry first, these scouts are selected, and their riding skills are quite good, and it is still not much difficulty to ride a horse and swing a knife to chop these officers and soldiers!
The group of officers and soldiers under Zhao Jie collapsed in an instant after being attacked by Li Zixiao in front and back, and the ensuing battle was a one-sided slaughter.
Zhao Jie was in the fight with Luo Chao, and was picked up by Luo Chao with a shot in just two rounds, and the force of the two was not on the same level at all.
After a fierce battle, more than 40 officers and soldiers were killed, and the remaining 90 people saw that the situation was not good, and even their own boss was killed, and they all obediently chose to surrender.
"Are these guys really court officers and soldiers? It's really a bunch of cowards, it's too unbeaten, if the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are like this now, I see how long the next day will last. ”
After the war, cleaning up the battlefield, Zhou Dazhu looked at the group of officers and soldiers who were shouting and shouting by his soldiers, whipping and gathering together, and squatting together with their heads hugged, and said contemptuously.
In this battle, Li Zixiao's side only paid a slight price of three dead and seven wounded to defeat this officer and soldier, who had more than 130 people.
"Big boss, what do you do with these people? Is it all ......" Wei Hong walked up to Li Zixiao and asked, his eyes were cold, and his right hand made a movement to wipe his neck around his neck.
"Do you think our current situation is suitable for keeping prisoners? Kill them all, and then cut off all their heads for Lao Tzu, then load them in a small car, and take advantage of the night to send them to the gate of Yongcheng County.
This is Lao Tzu's greeting gift to the Cai family, how they treat the more than 20 brothers in our White Tiger Village, we will return it in full.
I want to put the Cai family in danger, and I want them to know that it is not so pleasant to be our enemy. Li Zixiao said viciously.
"It's better for the big boss to go back to the cottage first, and leave the rest to his subordinates, and the idea of slaughtering the prisoners is also done by his subordinates, and the big boss doesn't know it."
After Li Zixiao said this, Wei Hong knew what he should do, to be a younger brother, he must have a higher consciousness, know how to solve problems for the boss, and learn to block dirty water for the boss.
Li Zixiao didn't expect Wei Hong to be more thoughtful than he thought, Wei Hong was protecting his reputation for him, after all, the reputation of killing prisoners is not good, and killing them is an officer and soldier, so he wants to leave a way back for their cottage.
"I've wronged you, Wei Hong, let's do it, I'll return to the cottage with Quartz later, and I'll leave the rest to you."
Li Zixiao walked up to Wei Hong, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said softly.
Soon, Li Zixiao rode a horse with quartz, Zhou Dazhu, and Luo Chao and they returned to the cottage first.
After they left, Wei Hong looked at the more than 90 officers and soldiers who were trembling with fright, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, and he commanded his subordinates to divide these more than 90 officers and soldiers into three groups and take them to the woods in different directions.
Soon after the men were taken into the woods, there were terrible screams, wails and curses, and the heads of the more than ninety people were moved.
In the early morning of the next day, when the gate of Yongcheng County was opened, the guards and soldiers in the south of Yongcheng saw a terrible scene that they would never forget.
A trolley full of human heads was parked under their city gate, and the trolley was piled up with human heads to form a Jingguan, densely packed, not to mention hundreds of people!
When it was so big, the officials guarding the south were so frightened that their feet were weak, and it took a long time to recover a little, and then they immediately ran to the county government to report the situation to Wang Yongxian Order.
After Wang Yong heard the news, he also sighed in his heart, and said in his heart: It's not good, could it be that Zhao Jie's group of people who left yesterday had an accident?
Of course, Wang Yong knew who was standing behind Zhao Jie and whose subordinates it was, otherwise this time Zhao Jie would have assisted the Cai family in attacking Baihu Village, and he wouldn't even greet him, the commander of Yongcheng County.
And Wang Yong didn't say anything about it, he must be dissatisfied with Zhao Jie in his heart, but people have big backers and can't be easily offended, Wang Yong, who is already old, sees it very clearly and knows how to tolerate it.
When Wang Yong rushed to the south gate of the county seat to see the big car full of human heads, he quietly walked over and saw that the human head at the top of the Jingguan composed of human heads was Zhao Jie's.
Looking at this cart full of heads, and the heads of Ming officers and soldiers, Wang Yong's hands couldn't help but tremble, and he said in a low voice: "It's over, something big has happened." ”
The Cai family has a lot of eyes and ears in the county, and such a big thing can't hide it from them at all, just as Wang Yong arrived at the south gate, the Cai family and the Liu family also got the news and sent someone over.
The person from the Cai family is Cai Xuanguang, and the Liu family is their big housekeeper Zhang Muze, and when the two of them saw the heads piled up on the big car outside the city, they also changed color.
"The surname is Li, you really dare to do it! You are really asking for your own death, even if you don't have to do it from our Cai family this time, you won't be able to live for a few days. ”
Cai Xuanguang saw that this car originally belonged to Zhao Jie's subordinates, his face was gloomy and ugly, although he said so, but he was also shocked by Li Zixiao's ruthlessness and decisiveness.
Why did your own family get into such a ruthless character, it's really a big trouble, these crazy guys, insidious and cunning, but their strength is so strong, it's really a big trouble!
"It's disgusting, it's so frustrating, such a vicious pole exists around our county, it's not a good thing for us!"
After glancing at the brains and melons in the car, the housekeeper of the Liu family pinched his nose and retreated to Wang Yong's side again and again, and said this in his mouth, I don't know if he intended to say it to Wang Yong. /
