Chapter 90: Victory or Defeat
A general with five hundred soldiers killed a mountain according to Cheng Xiaolian's instructions, and Gao Mengdan took Cheng Xiaolian to look inside from the high place of the mountain pass, as long as there was the slightest mistake, Cheng Xiaolian's head would definitely be cut off by him.
And the people inside the cottage thief never thought that the official army would kill the mountain, it stands to reason that there are several villages in front, even if they knock down all the cottages in front, they will not be unable to hear the slightest rumor.
But they can't be allowed to think about it, the official army has already killed the front, so they can only rush forward, as for surrendering, they haven't even thought about it, they are bandits, can it be good to fall into the hands of the official army?
This cottage is only seventy or eighty young and strong, and the village is not tall, although these soldiers are not as good as those under Wu Sangui, but there is no problem in dealing with these undisciplined bandits, their martial arts are not very high, but the battle array is skillful, and there are few flaws in cooperation, those bandits lost confidence as soon as they fight, they have tried their best and there are few people, and the brothers in front have fallen several rows.
These bandits were wiped out without even holding on for an hour, and the leading general also seized nearly a thousand taels of silver from inside, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain, of course, this general did not steal the silver, and immediately sent someone to Gao Mengdan.
Gao Mengdan was very happy to see the silver: "The soldiers under him fought hard, each of them was rewarded with one tael of silver, ten taels of those killed in battle, and five taels of wounded." I'll leave the rest to the Generalissimo. ”
The general immediately thanked him: "Thank you for your kindness, our soldiers will fight to the death, and we have repaid your kindness." ”
After this battle, the whole army was red-eyed, looking at the bandits on this mountain like looking at a flock of fat sheep.
The general named Xie Zhi spoke: "My lord, I didn't know that the bandits on this mountain were so rich, so it is better for us to work hard to avenge the young lady." ”
The resentment that they were transferred to suppress the bandits at the beginning is long gone, and they knew that the bandits on this mountain are so fat, they have come a long time ago, where can they wait until today.
But they ignored one condition, if it weren't for the Burmese blocking the exit, the people on this mountain would definitely not be so silent.
Gao Mengdan laughed: "Okay, the military heart is available, you can take advantage of the early days to build another cottage, and the official will prepare wine and meat for you in the rear to celebrate your achievements!" ”
Xie Zhi nodded: "Okay, please wait for our good news." ”
After speaking, he turned around and waved his hand: "Brothers, follow me!" ”
After they rushed out, Cheng Xiaolian coughed: "My lord, but be careful, not all of this kind of soft persimmons are on this mountain, if you encounter a bad one, I am afraid that it will damage a lot of people." ”
"Hmph, where is there a strong opponent on the mountain, I can see it, the bandits on this mountain are swarming together when they start a war, and they don't even have any regulations, just such a bandit, I will kill as many as I come, I said boy, this official sees that you are a manufacturable material, and is willing to give you an identity, how about following this official after this matter is over?"
"Slaves can't ask for it."
"Good! As long as you are faithful, this official will never treat you badly. ”
The master smiled on the side: "My lord avenged Miss this time, made military merits, and won a talent, which is really a triple win." As for the matter of getting rich, he didn't say it, these scholars are very concerned about face, and if they talk about making a fortune, it will inevitably make people feel tacky.
Gao Mengdan nodded: "Not bad, this time it can be regarded as a victory, and it is worth writing a poem." ”
They didn't mention revenge in their hearts, in fact, they all knew very well that it didn't matter if they came here to kill the thief in the secret or not, the important thing was to kill the thief on the mountain, so that the lives of their relatives could be guaranteed, as for whose hands did the woman die, so what did it matter?
Cheng Xiaolian sneered in his heart, but he was pitiful for that woman, who had been calling her uncle for so many years, and after her death, she became a stepping stone for his uncle to seek benefits.
Besides, before Xie Zhi led the people to another mountain, he rushed up with an order.
But this time it was not so easy, the previous attack on the side of the mountain had heard the wind, ready to prepare, this time as soon as the officers and soldiers rushed up, the rolling stones on the mountain immediately rolled down.
This mountain peak is not as steep as the previous one, and there is no place to dodge when the stones roll down, and a stone directly crushes a group of people into meat patties.
This stone crushed more than a dozen people to death, Xie Zhi was heartbroken, and wanted to call his brother to rush forward, but he was afraid that another stone would roll down, but it was impossible to retreat like this.
He shouted: "Disperse, kill to the mountain, whoever can kill the first to go up the mountain, a hundred taels of silver!" ”
At this moment, the eyes of the people under his hands were all red, it was a hundred taels of silver, enough to buy a small courtyard in the city, and then there would be no need for the family to be crowded into one bed. So he screamed and rushed forward, looking like he was robbing money.
Of course, the bandits above will not be soft, they are basically people with blood on their hands, and no one will be frightened by this formation.
Stone after stone was pushed down, even if all the mountain roads were blocked today, they all knew that if the officers and soldiers rushed up, no one would survive.
After half an hour of fighting, Xie Zhi's men almost lost nearly 100 people, and finally rushed to the mountain, and the red-eyed officers and soldiers began to fight with the bandits.
There are less than 100 young and strong people on this mountain, and they have shown indomitable courage in the face of fierce officers and soldiers, and they have begun to fight for their lives, thinking that today is always a death, if they can force these officers and soldiers back, the family members on the mountain can still save a life, otherwise all the people on the mountain will not live.
Followed by a fierce battle, these soldiers relied on their usual training to barely suppress the attack of the bandits, but their own damage was also very huge, and after they occupied the cottage, Xie Zhi had a small number, this time the battle killed and injured three hundred brothers, this is a huge damage, it is estimated that there is no way to explain to the boss after going back.
And this cottage is still very poor, looking around and finding that the entire cottage only has two hundred taels of silver, nothing, and almost didn't make Xie Zhi angry.
At this time, he also understood why so many seniors didn't touch the bandits here, this is definitely not a good place to make a fortune, the first one was just lucky, and he caught others off guard, and this time it was completely planted here.
When Gao Mengdan got the news, he was furious: "Xie Zhi, how did you lead the troops to fight?" ”
