Chapter 188: Suppressing Haoqiang

I saw a soldier grasp the half of the barrel of a crossbow gun, his body jumped upward, the whole body jumped up more than a foot high, and grabbed another gun inserted into the wall, the body took this section of the gun as the axis, turned around, the whole was swinging high, turned a somersault in the air, and fell to the wall, this continuous movement was clean and neat, as flexible as a monkey. It also caused a burst of cheers from other soldiers of the Wu'an Army.

This soldier is Ling Feng, because this kind of high-flying movement is his specialty, so he also became the first soldier in the whole army to jump onto the wall. And Gao Yuan, who was watching the battle in the formation, also nodded again and again, this kid really has two mistakes.

In fact, the special operations force is not used for attacking tough battles, but after the army is reorganized, only the vast majority of the soldiers of the special operations force are new recruits, which somewhat makes other veterans a little unconvinced, so Gao Yuan also hopes that in this battle, let the special operations troops show a good attitude, so that other veterans can understand the strength of the special operations forces, so Jiang Huanwu took the special operations team to take the lead in attacking the wall.

And Ling Feng saw that the wall was full of crossbow guns, and he couldn't help it for a while, so he grabbed the barrel of the crossbow gun and climbed the wall in a few clicks. After Ling Feng climbed the wall, two village soldiers with spears in their hands stabbed at Ling Feng.

Ling Feng pulled out the short sword he was carrying, and on one side, he dodged a spear, and grabbed the head of the spear with his hand, and the short sword was slashed flat along the barrel of the gun, and the village soldier was unable to do so, and the three fingers of his right hand were cut off by the short sword, and he suddenly fainted in pain.

Ling Feng then swung his sword to block the other spear that stabbed him, and with the spear in his other hand, he swept towards the village soldier, knocking him tumbling off the wall.

At this moment, Ling Feng only heard a scream coming from the back of his head, and when he looked back, it turned out that Jiang Huanwu had also climbed the wall and knocked out a village soldier who was sneaking up behind Ling Feng's back with a stick.

Ling Feng stuck out his tongue and said, "Brother Jiang, it's so hanging." ”

Jiang Huanwu said: "Xiaofeng, be careful behind you, and this is not you hunting alone, but the whole army fighting, it is useless to climb the wall alone, and you have to pick up other companions." ”

Ling Feng nodded and said, "I know, Brother Jiang." ”

So under the response of the two, the other soldiers also stepped on the wall one after another, and the village soldiers were killed and retreated from the wall. At this moment, the village gate was also hit open by the city car, and the Wu'an army rushed in and entered Linshui Village. At this time, the other three Wu'an armies also broke through the wall or village gate one after another and entered the village. Engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the village soldiers.

Although the people of Zhao Di are strong and the people are brave and martial, the combat effectiveness of ordinary people cannot, of course, be compared with the regular army, not to mention that the Wu'an Army can also be called one of the most powerful armies in the world, and whether it is the sophistication of armor and weapons, or the military training in peacetime, it is far above the ordinary people, and it is not at all comparable to the ordinary people.

As a result, under the battle between the two sides, it was often the village soldiers who fell, and in a short time, the villagers were killed and wounded, and the corpses were scattered all over the ground. They could only retreat from the wall and retreat to the inner part of the village.

However, before the start of the war, Gao Yuan ordered the whole army to try to take prisoners as much as possible to the village soldiers, and to reduce the number of killings, so after attacking the village, the soldiers of the Wu'an Army also shouted to the villagers to surrender and avoid death. As a result, many village soldiers immediately threw away their weapons and raised their hands to surrender to the Wu'an army.

While collecting the prisoners of Long, the Wu'an army continued to advance towards the village, and killed them until they reached the front of the Zhao family's village.

The Zhao family's village accounts for about half of the entire village, and at this time, there are also many village soldiers, as well as the Zhao family's clansmen and family members are still desperately resisting, but at this time, everyone knows that the general trend has gone, and guarding the Zhao family's manor is just a dead end, so most people are desperately rushing out, hoping to escape from the village by taking advantage of the current chaotic situation.

But the current battlefield looks chaotic on the surface, but in fact, the main passages in the village have been controlled by the Wu'an army, which is the difference between the regular army and the stragglers, so the vast majority of those who broke through failed to escape. In fact, even if someone can escape from the village, it does not mean that they can escape, because outside the village, there are still more than 1,000 cavalry troops of the Wu'an Army roaming, and they can't escape at all.

As a result, the offensive of the Wu'an army did not ease at all, and the Zhao family's village was broken at once, and the recalcitrant Zhao family members were killed, and the rest of the people could only raise their hands to surrender and become prisoners.

In fact, the whole battle only took more than an hour to end, and of course the Wu'an army won a complete victory, completely controlling the entire Linhe Village. After a simple count, 237 village soldiers were killed on the spot, 872 people were captured, and three of the seven brothers of the Zhao family died in the chaotic battle, and the other four were arrested, while the Zhao family's family members had a total of more than 300 people arrested. The Wu'an Army itself, with only seven soldiers killed, and another 25 wounded. Moreover, in the melee, although a few people escaped to the outside of the village, all of them were chased and killed by the cavalry who stayed outside the village, and no one escaped.

However, although the war was not long, it took five or six days to finish the war after the war, because it was necessary to verify the identity of each villager, or the Zhao clan, identify the corpses, and see how many people had escaped. In addition, it is necessary to thoroughly investigate the household registration, land and property of Linshui Village, and confiscate the property of the Zhao family. None of these things can be done within a short elbow.

After verification, there were a total of 417 households in Linhe Village, with a total population of 3,387 and 51,820 acres of land. Among them, the land owned by the Zhao family reached more than 24,700 mu, accounting for nearly half of the village's land production.

After the interrogation, only 63 families did not participate in the battle against the Wu'an army, in fact, several of these people's families were out of the house, but they fled back to their homes in time, and were not caught by the Wu'an army, so they escaped.

In addition, the Zhao family was captured a total of 354 people, of which 208 were from the Zhao family's clan, 93 were men, and 105 were women; The family consisted of one hundred and forty-four, one hundred and three males and thirty-one females. Some of them were hired from outside, but some of them were actually domestic slaves of the Zhao family.

But in the end, it was found that there were still nearly ten people missing, of which there were two people belonging to the Zhao clan, one was Zhao Gancheng's second son Zhao Xin, and the other was the son of the third Zhao Qiancheng. After checking three times, they could not find these two men, and when I asked the others, no one saw how they escaped. Of course, there will always be a few such fish that slip through the net, and there is no way to do it.

However, the entire Zhao family was destroyed, even if these two people escaped, they couldn't afford to make much of Lang, so Gao Yuan didn't take these two people to heart, after all, he couldn't involve too much energy for a small Linhe Village.

So Gao Yuan ordered that a total of 65 members of the immediate family of the Zhao family and important family members be sent back to Daijun and publicly beheaded, and the rest were all reduced to slavery, with men serving hard labor and women being assigned to various officials to be treated as women. Naturally, all the property of the Zhao family was confiscated and confiscated.

As for the punishment of other villagers, all the villagers who participated in the battle were to be confined to the army for three years, and all the land and property were confiscated, but during the conscription period, their families could accompany them, and a few villagers who were close to the Zhao family and served as small leaders in the village soldiers were confined to the army for five years. Only sixty-three families who did not participate in the fighting were exempted from punishment.

Such a punishment decision is somewhat unjust for these villagers, because many villagers actually don't want to participate in the war, but they are forced by the power of the Zhao family, so they have to contribute. However, Gao Yuan knew that at this time, he could not be lenient, and he had to use heavy punishment and heavy punishment, so that he could deter other local powerful forces and make them dare not disobey his own decree. It is also a warning to villagers in other places not to blindly follow the local powerful forces.

In fact, in this era, although the decision to dispose of the plateau is a bit excessive, it is still within the reasonable range, and it is not the most severe, because the laws and regulations of various countries are not the same, with the Qin State being the strictest, while the Yan and Qi countries are looser, and in the Three Jin Dynasty, the Han law is the strictest, and the Zhao law is relatively looser, and the disposal of the plateau is looser than that of the Qin State, of course, it is much stricter than the law of the Zhao State in the past.

However, the villagers who have not been punished still have to report the land property of each household and register their household registration. At this time, of course, no one dared to conceal anything, and all of them honestly reported their land, and registered their household registration in accordance with the requirements of the plateau, and some households were divided according to the law, and as a result, a total of 107 households, a total of 547 people, and a total of 4,377 acres of registered land.

A total of 47,423 acres of confiscated land were confiscated. In addition, 320 pieces of gold, more than 500 pairs of jade, more than 100,000 copper coins, more than 30,000 stones of grain, 500 pieces of cloth, and more than 3,000 heads of horses, donkeys, cattle and sheep were also found from the Zhao family. Coupled with the seizure of the Zhao family's shop, Gao Yuan made a small fortune.

The confiscated land will be distributed equally among the families of the demobilized soldiers, and 393 families of the demobilized soldiers will be relocated to Linshui Village to settle down, so that 500 households will be gathered, and the number will be divided according to 5 tithes. The harvested cattle, except for the horses, were scattered among the soldiers' families, because the spring ploughing was about to begin, and all the other materials were transported back to Daijun to be stored. And the Zhao family has shops in the county town, which were also received by the plateau and handed over to Lin Wenqing to operate, and they all happened to be used.

Of course, Gao Yuan did not wait for the results of these investigations in Linshui Village, and the next day, he left only 1,000 soldiers, stationed in Linshui Village, leading other troops, escorting a cadre of captured personnel, and returning to Dai County.
