"Shoot!"

Wen Fangliang's left battalion, the bird soldiers of the two divisions, and the 200 soldiers in the front row, launched a salvo at some officers and soldiers who came from the pontoon bridge, the north road of the Xuanfu sub-patrol road, and the middle road of the sub-patrol road. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The soldiers pulled the trigger, and the fireworks seemed to be connected, and a door firecracker spewed out a surging gunsmoke.

Although the cold wind rolled up gusts of snow from time to time, there were very few dumb fires in the hands of each person, and after a volley fire, a large number of officers and soldiers in front of them threw themselves to the ground, covering the place where they had been shot, struggling desperately, and letting out hoarse screams.

"Shoot!"

Two hundred fighters, another salvo was launched.

The smoke spread like a white dragon, and more people in front of them fell to the ground, rolling all over the ground.

Many people looked at their intestines and howled inhumanly.

"Shoot!"

It was the deafening sound of the platoon again, and the officers and men who crossed the bridge from the north and middle of the sub-patrol road were defeated, crying and fleeing.

The dense army on the other side of the river was similarly scattered......

It was the twenty-eighth day.

On the afternoon of the 26th, Wen Fangliang's soldiers of the left battalion, after defeating Lai Tianlu's army from the direction of the right guard, quickly returned to the southern suburbs of Zhangjiakou Fort, and several rounds of artillery once again defeated another army led by his eldest son Lai Diqing, who was approaching from the left guard.

The surname of the Lai family is the conscience of heaven and earth.

And this morning, from the east of Zhangjiakou, there was another sub-patrol road north, the army led by Lai Tianlu's brother Lai Tianmin, and the army led by Yang Tianfu in the middle of the sub-patrol road.

Li Jianxu, the general of the West Road under the road, also led his own reinforcement battalion to hurry over.

Li Jiancao and Yang Tianfu are both Lai Tianlu's brothers-in-law, one married his eldest sister and the other married his eighth sister.

It can be seen from this that these generals are strong and powerful, and their power is huge.

Therefore fornicate with them. Even officials who know the inside story have to turn a blind eye. Even if the governor or governor wants to deal with them, he must weigh one or two things, so as not to cause trouble. Or even mutiny.

If this is the case, it is still them who are unlucky, in the face of this kind of mass army riots. There are very few officials who are dismissed from office.

For hundreds of years in the Ming Dynasty, the martial artists have always lived a very nourishing life, especially the martial artists in the guard, compared with the civil officials, they are prone to accidents, and it is difficult to be promoted. Basically, they can enjoy the glory in peace, and they will be inherited from generation to generation, forming a strong force in the local area.

Even in the era of nobility and martial arts, it is just a matter of nodding and bowing in front of people and kowtowing a few times. The actual wealth is not lost, and the so-called loss of small face takes advantage of the big advantage.

The invasion of military land and the fornication of foreign affairs were also started by these warriors at the earliest, but it was a tragedy when they encountered the Jingbian Army, which was more powerful, more domineering, and did not play cards according to common sense.

"The wicked need the wicked to grind ......"

When the soldiers of the left battalion lined up outside the east gate, there were also some gentry and merchants watching the battle on the Zhangjiakou city wall, and they couldn't help but sigh with such feelings.

"It's almost, except for Li Jianxu, everyone who has a relationship with Lai Tianlu has been beaten, and the matter of Zhangjiakou can be over."

Looking at the officers and soldiers of the North Road and the Middle Road who were howling and fleeing on the other side of the river, Wen Fangliang nodded with satisfaction.

Although the generals and heroes who rushed over were numerous, their combat strength was weak, and they could not form a unified command, and they were quickly broken by him.

The officers and men of the North Road and the Middle Road of the Branch Patrol Road in front of them also spread because of the fact that they were stuck in the ice, and they did not dare to come from the ice, so they had to come from the pontoon bridge.

In addition, it was another half-crossing attack, and the soldiers of the left battalion, only a few rounds of platoon bombardment, they were defeated.

Seeing their embarrassing appearance, Wen Fangliang couldn't even get up with the idea of chasing.

However, at the end of the afternoon, Wen Fangliang received a report from the sentry and couldn't help frowning.

The sentinel said that the officers and men of the North Road and the Middle Road, who had escaped in the morning, crossed the Qingshui River from the lower reaches of the river and joined up with the officers and men of Li Jianxu's branch of the West Road, and there were still some men and men and horses of Lai Tianlu and Lai Diqing who escaped on the 26th.

In particular, among their military horses, there are many military households in various cities, especially a large number of women, children and the elderly.

"Thief!"

Wen Fangliang shouted angrily.

"Fellow villagers, these East Road thieves want to take away our food and clothing, so that we have no way to live, and we will never agree!"

"No!"

"No!"

"No ......"

Far away, the tide of people, along the west bank of the Qingshui River, towards the south gate of Zhangjiakou Fort, they flooded the official road, flooded the hills, flooded the fields, flooded some sparse forests and houses.

At the forefront were the ragged military families of the cities, both old and young, all armed with tattered knives, guns and sticks, while women walked in front of the men, some with kitchen knives and sticks, many with bare hands, and some with children.

As for the officers and soldiers from all walks of life, they shrunk and shrunk behind these women, children and old people.

However, when walking, they agitated loudly from time to time, and these crowds were also full of enthusiasm, especially those military households who were in the middle of the patrol road.

The eleven castles under the jurisdiction of this road, there are two garrisons, six ethics, three defenses, and the generals are stationed in Geyubao, these places have many mountains and few lands, and the land is barren, so trade and smuggling, collecting benefits, is an important way for them to make a living.

For these military households and women, for generations, they are the tenants of those military generals and officials, for whom Shangguan is heaven and earth, fear and obedience, and has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

He was also convinced of what the generals said above, and as soon as he instigated it, he was immediately filled with righteous indignation.

It is a bit similar to the civil war between the north and the south of the country in the later generations, when the war began, what annoyed was that the black slaves in the fields were the first to be angry.

Not far from the south gate ahead, Wen Fangliang's left battalion had already set up a military formation, but the black pressure of the people was still striding forward.

"East Road thief, fight the old lady here, anyway, you won't be able to live in the future, so it's better to die here."

"Your military exploits are all from killing women and children, right?"

In the flow of people, many military women screamed at the front while stepping on their big feet.

In the position of the left battalion, many battalion commanders were extremely angry: "These fools and foolish women! ”

"Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, the ancients did not deceive me!"

"The hateful Lai Tianlu and the hateful Li Jiancao only dare to drive women and children. How is this different from the Tartars? ”

Seeing that the flow of people was getting closer, the battalion headquarters looked at Wen Fangliang: "What should I do." Please give me the general's instructions. ”

Wen Fangliang looked ahead, his handsome face was extremely serious, he had long lost the cynicism of the past, he said thoughtfully: "Ben will remember." I am not allowed to do anything to women and children in the military discipline of the Jingbian Army, right? ”

The various towns of the Jingbian Army were greatly influenced by Chi Dacheng, and most of them had a dead face. The same is true for the left battalion headquarters to suppress and appease.

He said with a glance: "According to the military discipline of our Jingbian Army, as long as the opponent has a weapon and has an offensive behavior, or does not hold a weapon, but there is an offensive behavior, it is not limited to men and women. Children, no Han Chinese, Hu people, Yi people, no Chinese. Foreigners are all enemies, and they can be punished! ”

He said: "The general said that the safety of soldiers is always the first priority, if you can't protect yourself, how can you protect the people? ”

He looked at Wen Fangliang: "This official has everything he says, what should I do, please ask General Wen to make a decision, but for specific details, this official will make a register and report it afterwards, and do it publicly." ”

Wen Fangliang exhaled slowly and said categorically: "Prepare for battle!" ”

Immediately, a voice spread in the army: "Prepare for battle!" ”

"Prepare the guns!"

"Gunners ready!"

"Artillery ready!"

Wen Fangliang ordered: "Warning in advance, if you don't retreat, use artillery to bombard the enemy's middle and rear formations, and shoot the enemy's front formation with guns!" ”

……

The vast flow of people on the opposite side is still approaching the military formation, looking at the military formation, some people in helmets and armor at the back laugh at each other, dispatching women and children This big killing weapon, do you dare to do it on the other side?

The Han dynasty is like this, all dynasties, officials and generals dare to do to the people, and even to women and children, often cause an uproar, the martial arts are slightly better, if it is a civil official, impeachment like a cloud, ten out of ten is to lose the official post, and even go to prison.

Therefore, they were very relieved, and the officers and soldiers from all walks of life behind the large group of women, children, and old people were also very relieved, and while they were carrying out, they encouraged their wives, mothers, sisters, sisters, seven aunts and eight mothers-in-law in front of them, forming a chaotic and huge crowd.

"The last warning, the women and children disperse quickly, if you move forward, you will bear the consequences!"

Some nights did not accept the order, only causing the crowd of people to abuse, some stones, clods of soil thrown over, accompanied by bursts of laughter: "East Road thief, be afraid, go back to your hometown!" ”

"Old ladies are not afraid."

"Let Wang Dou eat!"

The eyes of the night guards turned cold, and they left a sentence coldly: "In this way, you will be the enemy of our army, and you will do it yourself!" ”

"Shelling!"

"Put!"

"Put!"

In the sound of huge artillery, several Hongyi cannons spewed out a large amount of smoke and fire.

In the firelight, shells whistled out and shot at the opposite center and rear.

The voice of crying dad and shouting mother sounded, and the high-speed cannonballs fell, plowing flesh alleys in the crowd on the opposite side!

The hot solid iron ball went on a rampage, and everywhere it went, flesh and blood flew everywhere it went.

In the midst of the crying, the crowd on the opposite side was chaotic, and in front of the flow of people, some military households, as well as women, children and the elderly also stopped, the sound of artillery frightened them, and the possible death or injury of the men in the family also worried them.

However, although the artillery was loud, there were not a few, and the falling shells were still small compared to the huge crowd, and many people were still agitating, and there were women who shouted angrily: "Sisters, the East Road thieves killed our men and fought with them." ”

"Fight with them."

The women screamed, desperately rushing to the front of the army.

The military households, officers and soldiers behind them also roared and danced their weapons, and took the opportunity to speed up their pace.

The flow of people is like a tidal wave.

"Ready!"

"Aim for ......"

The soldiers of the left battalion intensively lowered the firearms in their hands and aimed at the crowd in front of them.

Some of the soldiers looked a little unbearable, but their hands holding the firecrackers did not move at all.

According to military law, there are enemies in front of you, and there will be no mercy to the enemy.

"Shoot!"

The surging white smoke rose and the sound of a bell sounded like a bean.

Some of the women who had been shot fell screaming and fell to the icy ground, blood pouring from their bodies.

"Shoot!"

The second layer of warriors fired another volley, and another group of women and old men fell, rolling on the ground, letting out a heart-rending howl.

"Shoot!"

It was a deafening sound again.

"Ahh

The man who fell beside him. Their blood splattered on their bodies, their faces.

Watch them roll all over the ground, crying out in pain and helplessness. The people around him woke up and miscalculated, and the thieves on the opposite side of the East Road were not because they were women. Give them preferential treatment, or kill when they should be killed, and cut when they should be cut.

The heart-rending screams around them frightened them even more. I don't know who started to retreat, and then led the whole crowd and desperately fled to the rear.

The men who took cover by them were stunned and helpless, so they had to flee with the flow of people.

Look at the crowd of more than 10,000 people ahead, and the wolves are running away. Wen Fangliang stared for a while, instigated his horses, and came to the front of the battle.

There were corpses and wounded people lying all over the place, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Some of the cold, hard ground, because it absorbed a lot of blood, also melted, soaking the ground black and red.

Large or small snowflakes fell from time to time, and in the moaning sound of falling one after another, Wen Fangliang suddenly heard the voice of a baby, he got off his horse, looked for prestige, and saw a dead woman's swaddling clothes, a baby was crying loudly.

Wen Fangliang hugged him and coaxed: "Oh, oh, oh, don't cry, don't cry." ”

After a while, he handed it to the healer beside him: "Take it to the orphanage camp." ”

He commanded: "There is no threat to the wounded, so let the doctors come to their aid." ”

Then his face sank like water, and he shouted: "It is a great sin to drive women and children to rush into battle!" Those commanders who are in charge must not let them go, and they must be captured alive, and after trial, they will be severely executed! ”

……

On the seventh day of the lunar month, in addition to the Han Dynasty leading some soldiers and horses to stay in Taiyuan, Li Guangheng, Gao Shiyin, Li Yunshu and others divided their troops to Yuci, Taigu, Pingyao, Jiexiu, Pingyang and other places to arrest profiteers one by one and confiscate their property.

On the tenth day of the first month, Jiexiu, Fan Mansion.

The mansion is magnificent, and it was very lively here in the past, but at this time, the atmosphere in the mansion was dull, whether it was the Fan family or the subordinates they saw, they all looked uneasy, and everyone had a feeling of imminent disaster.

In the study, Fan Yongdou sat decadently, he was already too old to speak, and at this time he was even older than ten years old, his hair was all white, his face was deeper, and his every move was a trembling old dragon clock.

In the past few days, Fan Yongdou has become even more afraid of the cold, and the fire wall of the study and several delicate carbon, wood and copper plates do not seem to be able to drive away his cold, and he has to wrap his fur coat tightly with every step of the way.

In the past few days, he has always locked himself in his study, and it is difficult for outsiders to see him again, and over and over again, he is thinking about a question, why is this happening?

The development of things was beyond his expectations, Taiyuan fell, Datong fell, and his houses, shops, and collapsed houses in those places all became Wang Dou's spoils, right? There are still many stewards and clansmen, and they have all been arrested, right?

These are the efforts of generations and generations.

The news came, his son Fan Sanba, was also arrested, I don't know if he is alive or dead, next, can it be his turn and his family?

Fan Yongdou laughed miserably, just yesterday, the Jingbian Army had arrived outside the city, I heard what kind of forward Suzaku Battalion, now the people in the city are panicking, even Taiyuan has been lowered, can Jiexiu be protected?

Originally, Jiexiu was his ancestral land, operated for generations, and deeply rooted in the local area, but things changed too much, and it seemed that the city like an iron bucket also appeared one after another cracks, although the Fan family was powerful, but there was no family in the city to compete with it, maybe one family could not do it, but several families could join forces.

In the past, they were forced by their own forces, but now they are all exposed.

All kinds of remarks began to spread in Jiexiu City, and many people bitterly scolded their families for being profiteers, bringing disaster to the country and the people, and everyone was punished for it, as if they did not smuggle and collaborate with the enemy.

He slowly took a sip of hot tea, knowing that today, he would not go against Wang Dou, but there is no regret medicine in the world.

In the face of Wang Dou scolding him for being a profiteer who brought disaster to the country, he also had a grievance in his heart, and the businessman pursued profit, isn't it a matter of course? Besides, how many civil officials, military generals, heroes, merchants, and clean ones are there in Xuanda?

"It's better to go up to the city to have a look, if you can guard the city for a month or two, things may turn around."

Fan Yongdou had just stood up, when he suddenly heard the chaos outside, and everyone shouted: "Someone has dedicated the city." ”

Then Fan Yongdou heard a faint whistling sound: "Wan Sheng!" ”

The teacup in his hand fell to the ground and became shattered unconsciously, and his whole body trembled, trembling like a lonely bird in the cold wind. (To be continued.) )
