Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 253
Not long after walking the border of Datong Town, Zhao Wen entered the territory of Shanxi Chief Secretary.

As soon as he entered the territory of Shanxi Chief Secretary, Zhao Wen clearly felt that the atmosphere here was even more dignified than that of Datong Town.

There is no one on the official road, and there are small blockhouses built by gentry and landlords everywhere on both sides of the road.The further to the southwest, the more serious the situation.

Zhao Wen was riding on a war horse, looking at the road ahead with a serious look on his face.

"My lord, there is an urgent military situation." At this moment, several Yebushou who had been dispatched ran back.

Zhao Wen looked at Ye Bushou standing in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

The chief flag officer of the Ye Bu Shou team cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong, and then said: "My lord, there is a group of bandits attacking a stockade thirty miles ahead, and the number of bandits is about two thousand?"

Zhao Wen asked: "Do you know the identities of these gangsters?"

"My lord, we grabbed a few tongues, and under torture and interrogation, we also found out their identities. These people are bandits who have been entrenched in the local area for many years. Because the thieves from Shaanxi invaded Shanxi, they wanted to take advantage of the situation. Raise the anti-flag to respond to the thieves coming from Shaanxi," Ye Bufu replied slowly.

"Have these gangsters ever found your tracks?"

"My lord, we are hiding very well. With these bandits alone, we can't find our traces at all."

"My lord, what should we do? Should we attack directly or go around?" Zhao Daniu looked at Zhao Wen and asked slowly.

Zhao Wen frowned slightly, and asked slowly, "Where is this place now?"

Zhao Daniu looked around, and then the general's counselor came over.

The counselor took out a map and checked it for a long time, "My lord, this should be Xin County, which is more than 50 miles away from Qin County."

"How far is it to Pingyang Mansion?" Zhao Wen looked at the counselor and asked slowly.

The counselor looked at the map, thought for a while, and said, "My lord, there is almost a thousand miles to go. If we hurry up, we should be able to reach Pingyang Mansion the night after tomorrow.

This Xin County is the only way for us to pass, if we take a detour, it will probably be farther.It takes even more time. "

Zhao Wen looked ahead and thought for a moment, then pulled out the waist knife from his waist, "Daniu, send an order to tell the soldiers to get ready for me, let's go meet the gangsters in front for a while."

Zhao Daniu cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong, then walked to the rear, passing on Zhao Wen's order.

Most of the soldiers that Zhao Wen brought out were veterans who had fought wars. Now when they heard that there was a war going on, they became excited in an instant.

This group of people was going crazy in Xuan Town, now that they finally had a battle, how could they not be excited?
"First, keep an eye on the gangsters in front of me, and at the same time tell me their movements. I don't want to waste too much time on this group of gangsters. I will try to kill them with one blow." Zhao Wen looked at the gangster in front of him. Don't accept it at night, said in a deep voice.

Ye Bushou cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong, and then walked forward.

"Everyone, go forward quickly." Zhao Wen waved the waist knife in his hand, roared towards the rear, and then clamped the horse's belly and rushed forward.

For a moment, the sound of horseshoes shook like thunder from the sky.

It's just that the bandits are still far away from Zhao Wen, so they can't hear the sound of horseshoes now.

"Brothers, go ahead, this Wangjiazhai will be taken down soon, if you work harder, this Wangjiazhai will be taken down.

This Wangjiazhai is the richest village in Xin County. The Wang family in Wangjiazhai is a well-known gentry in Xin County. Several generations of the family have been officials, and the family has countless food and money. As long as we take down this Wangjiazhai , let's eat hot and drink spicy food, and then you will all have a share in the beautiful lady inside. "

A big man who was blind in one eye stood on a hillside one mile outside the stockade and shouted loudly at the bandits who were attacking the stockade.

Fortunately, this Wangjiazhai was built with cement, otherwise, it would not have been able to withstand such a long time.

But there is a limit to everything. Although the Wangjiazhai was built with cement, the number of defenders in the village is too small. After repeated attacks by bandits, it has now declined.

"Master, we have been attacking for three days, but our people have not attacked yet. What is the courtyard wall of this village built? Why is it so weird? The knife in our hand can only leave a trace on it. , and even break the knife." The second leader looked at the first leader, his face full of depression.

The head of the family sneered, "What else can it be, it's nothing more than cement. Don't you know this cement? I heard that this cement is as hard as a stone, and it can be processed into any shape.

Of course, the Wang family's village is filled with members of the Wang family, as well as some servants and tenants of the Wang family, and the number of people inside is only about four or five hundred at best.Moreover, most of them are old and weak women and children, and the number of people who can really climb the city wall is only more than 200.

But we have thousands of people, and it will be a matter of time before we break through this village. "

Looking at the declining Wangjiazhai in front of him with one eye, an excited smile appeared on his face.

There is a large house in the Wang family village, which is the ancestral house of the Wang family.

A middle-aged man looked at the people sitting in the hall, his face was full of worry.

"Master, what should we do? More than half of the guards in our village have been killed or injured. If this continues, then we will be doomed?" The middle-aged man looked at an old man sitting on the main seat in the hall. , asked anxiously.

The old man sitting on the main seat is the current head of the Wang family, Wang He. He used to be a servant in the household department in the capital, and he has a high prestige in the Wang family.

"The butler is right, father, we may not be able to persist in this situation for a long time." A 30-year-old scholar stood up from his chair and walked back and forth in the hall, his face covered with pimples. The color of worry.

Wang He was sitting on a chair, leaning on a cane in his hand, with no expression on his face.

"Taiping, what are you panicking about? Haven't those bandits come in now? Has the person we sent to Xin County to ask for help come back?" Wang He looked at Wang Chengping and asked in a low voice.

Wang Chengping let out a long breath, and said helplessly: "Father, don't talk about it, the people we sent out have not returned yet. I guess, the people we sent out may have been caught by the bandits outside.

Now there are so many bandits outside our village, and they are so powerful.Even if we didn't send anyone out to ask for help, it stands to reason that the people in Xin County should have gotten the news, but it's been three days, and there is still no movement. "

Wang He slammed the crutch in his hand on the ground, and sighed: "We gave gifts to this group of bastards, but now we want them to help, and we don't even give a fart.

I don't think these people want to help us at all, otherwise, how could the bandits outside attack my village for three days? "

"Master, it's not good. The gangsters outside the stockade have suppressed all the horses. We don't have enough manpower on the walls of the stockade. I'm afraid they won't be able to resist."

At this moment, a bloody servant rushed in from the outside in a panic.

Wang He was startled suddenly, a hint of panic finally appeared on his expressionless face.

"Is what you said true? The gangsters really suppressed their own troops?" Wang He looked at the servant who rushed in, and asked in disbelief.

"Master, it's absolutely true. There were not many people in our Wangjiazhai, and most of them were old and weak women and children. Our manpower to guard the city is really too small."

Although there are more than 500 people in Wangjiazhai, more than half of these 500 people are old, weak, women and children, and only about 200 of them can defend the city.

Moreover, since these people are honest tenants and servants, it is not easy for these people to guard the wall of the village.

Wang He stood up from the chair, and kept sticking the crutch in his hand on the ground, "Now quickly put all the people in the village who can hold weapons on the city wall, otherwise, when the city wall is breached, the None of the people in our village will try to run away."

The wall of Wangjiazhai is not very high, at best it is about two feet.

A wall of this level can be reached with a slightly higher ladder.

Fortunately, the bandits who attacked the city outside were also a mob. They didn't know how to attack the city, so they just put the ladder on the wall of the wall and climbed up the ladder.And there are very few people who know how to shoot arrows, otherwise they wouldn't have been attacking for several days, and only now have they made substantial progress.

The one-eyed man watched as one of his subordinates charged up the wall, with excitement on his face.

"Brothers, it's time for the popular and spicy drink, give me a rush!"

Cyclops rode on a low-legged horse, brandishing the knife in his hand and rushing forward.

The combination of his huge body and pony is like riding a pig, which is ridiculous.

As for the second leader, he also rode on a bantam, followed closely behind the first leader, and rushed towards Wangjiazhai.

When Wang He and his son Wang Chengping led the people in the village who could handle weapons to the wall of the village, their faces turned pale instantly.

I saw countless bandits wielding various weapons and slowly climbing up from the long ladder on the wall of the village.

Although the people on the wall kept throwing bricks, tiles and stones down, there were still too few people on the wall.

They could only watch helplessly as the bandits on the ladder continued to climb up.

When the first wave of bandits rushed up the wall, the people on the entire wall were in a mess.

"go to hell!"

A bandit with a scar on his face had just jumped onto the wall before slashing at a person in front of him with a knife in his hand.

The man looked at the scarred face rushing towards him, his face was full of panic, and he kept stepping back.

This man was just a tenant, and when he saw the vicious bandits, he was instantly terrified.

The bandit slashed directly at the man's neck.

"what!!!"

The man let out a scream, and then fell backwards.

The people standing next to this person saw this scene and fled towards the rear one after another.

Wang He looked at the servants and tenants who were wantonly slaughtered, and closed his eyes in despair.

"It's over, it's over, it's really over now."

At this moment, Wang Chengping closed his eyes in despair.

"Kill!!!" One-eyed rushed to the bottom of the wall of the village, looking at his subordinates who were climbing up the long ladder like ants, his face was full of madness.

At this moment, a dull voice sounded.

Immediately afterwards, there was a cloud of smoke and dust that soared into the sky and came towards this side.

Hearing the sudden sound, Wang Chengping opened his eyes and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

"This is... the Ming Army?"

When Wang Chengping saw clearly the attire of Zhao Wen and others rushing over, he instantly became excited.

He pointed in the direction of the smoke and dust, and hurriedly shook Wang He next to him.

"Father, father, it's the Ming army, it's the Ming army. Our reinforcements are here, our reinforcements are here."

Wang He opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Wang Chengping's finger, "It's really reinforcements, it's really reinforcements, we're saved."

Wang He looked at Zhao Wen and others rushing over, his face was full of excitement.

Zhao Wen brandished his long knife, turned around and shouted at Zhao Daniu who was behind him: "Send the order, go straight over, deal with this group of mobs, go straight ahead, don't use firearms."

"Yes!"

Zhao Daniu replied, and then passed on Zhao Wen's order.

The one-eyed man who was showing off his power under the wall of the village looked at the smoke and dust coming towards this side. He was stunned for a moment, and then he was puzzled. When he saw clearly the clothes of Zhao Wen and others, he panicked instantly.

"It's the Ming army, it's the Ming army, it turned out to be the Ming army, it looks like it's still a frontier army."

Zhao Wen and the others were all wearing dark armor, with fiery red mandarin duck battle jackets under the armor, and the guard battalion rushing to the front was holding a red flag, and there were more than 300 red flags.

Under the rapid dash, the red flag fluttered, rushing towards these bandits like a stream of red iron.

The sound of horseshoes hitting the ground was like the roar of wild animals.

This scene coupled with this voice frightened the bandits into place in an instant.

"It's a frontier soldier, run away."

One-eyed was stunned for a moment, then let out an angry roar, and fled to the rear on a short-footed horse alone.

The bandits looked at the men and horses like red iron streams, their legs were trembling non-stop.

In the past, it was not that the guards in Xin County had never surrounded and suppressed them.

However, the soldiers and horses in Xinxian County are similar to them except for the general's servants.Even if you can't fight, you can still run.

But now, when they saw this soldier and horse that suddenly appeared, they didn't even have the courage to run, let alone resist.

Those bandits who were climbing stood on the ladder blankly, looking at the soldiers and horses rushing forward, their faces were full of dull expressions.Obviously, they were terrified.

When they finally came to their senses, Zhao Wen had already charged into them with soldiers and horses.

"kill!"

Zhao Wen clamped his legs into the horse's belly, looked at the bandits who were less than a hundred paces away, with a gloomy expression, roared angrily, and then swung the long knife in his hand to kill the bandits who were still in a daze at the front.
