The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 250 Two attacks on Mengjiazhuang

Chasing the dead and beating the drowned dog is really a very exciting thing.Even the most timid lamb can become as brave as a tiger at this time.

More than 50 strong men and more than 30 strong women, screaming in fear, waving swords, guns and sticks, chased the thieves crazily. Although few of the thieves dared to turn around and resist, many were actually caught up and killed. few.

Almost without exception, those unlucky ones were those who had been injured by arrows when they approached the wall of Mengjiazhuang earlier. Only a few of them were actually caught up and killed by Meng Li and Xue Daoyuan, who had stronger physical strength.

The thieves who attacked Mengjiazhuang were actually very strong. Almost every one of them was a martial arts practitioner who had trained their muscles and bones, and practiced guns, sticks, fists and kicks. Normally, it would be no problem for one person to beat three or five ordinary men.

Moreover, they have received some military training and can be regarded as high-quality elite soldiers. This is why they can withstand the random arrows of the Meng family villagers without being defeated under various unfavorable circumstances.

However, the incompetence of one general can lead to the death of thousands of troops. No matter how good the seeds of soldiers and generals fall into the hands of an incompetent commander, they will be as useless as a lion commanded by a sheep.

Pang Yi may have good martial arts skills and be quite clever, but he is definitely not a qualified general. Not only is he not, but neither is [Golden Sword] Li Zhu.

Of course, today's Ergou is not a qualified commander, but Jiao Dong has a legacy. Even if Ergou ran out to play and even caught and killed each other, Mengjiazhuang's defensive battle was still very well-organized.

Whether it was Taoist Shouzhen's attack on the armored warriors or Xue Daoyuan's attack to respond, they were all the most correct choices made under Jiao Dong's prompts.

When the bandits escaped two miles away from Zhuangzi, Jiao Dong had people ring the bell to stop the pursuit.

Ming Jin withdraws troops!

This is what should be in the title.

When the villagers who were chasing the bandits returned, and after Jiao Dong took stock of the battle damage, a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Without him, the unnecessary battle losses during the pursuit would be really scary.

Few thieves on the run dare to resist, but that doesn't mean there really aren't any.

In the early stages of the bankers' pursuit, there were two more courageous thieves who deliberately took on the responsibility of breaking up the group.

Fortunately, one of them bumped into Xue Daoyuan who was chasing Pang Yi, and he only lasted two rounds before dying under Xue Daoyuan's sword.

But another bandit who was behind the scenes killed three of the bravest Meng family farmers with a simple sword, and fought with Meng's eldest son Meng Li for more than ten rounds before being whipped by Taoist Shouzhen who arrived later. die.

During the entire process of "chasing" the bandits, a total of about 23 bandits were killed. Seventeen of them died at the hands of Taoist Shouzhen and Xue Daoyuan. Two were killed by Meng Li, and only three were killed. He died at the hands of the pursuing bankers, but the bankers also paid a heavy price for this, with five people dead and six seriously injured.

These casualties are the result of the desperate struggle of those bandits in the face of desperate situations.

When Jiao Dong rang the bell to withdraw his troops, in fact, except for Taoist Shouzhen and Xue Daoyuan, the bankers no longer dared to really pursue the enemy.

And if the enemy had the courage to counterattack at this time, it might be possible to turn defeat into victory.

It can be said that the anxious Ming Jin retreated his troops in a timely manner. Although it cannot be said that the timing was perfect, at least he preserved the fruits of victory in this battle.

Next, the victorious people swept the battlefield and harvested a total of three armored warrior prisoners, nine ordinary prisoners, 79 corpses, three sets of complete armor, one and a half sets of incomplete armor, a dozen high-quality weapons, and a set of strong bows. There are nearly a hundred simple knives of relatively good workmanship.

Of course, there is a more valuable prisoner, [Golden Sword] Li Zhu.

All the prisoners were tied up with water-soaked cowhide ropes by the villagers and brought back to Zhuangzi and imprisoned. Taoist Shouzhen and Xue Daoyuan interrogated the enemy separately.

As for Ergou, he did not interrogate Li Zhu for the time being, because he had to treat the wounds of the injured bankers first.

Fortunately, this was not a problem for Ergou. Most of the six seriously injured people had open wounds. Even two of them were missing arms and legs. Their severed limbs could be recovered in time. Ergou only needed to treat them. Correct splicing treatment is enough, and the operation is much simpler than resurrecting the residual limb out of thin air.

After dealing with the wounded soldiers, Ergou had time to go to Shouzhen Taoist and others to interrogate the enemy.

In fact, the interrogation of ordinary thieves did not take much effort, and they easily told their origins.These people are almost all from the surrounding areas of Kaifeng Prefecture, but they come from more than a dozen different areas, with up to a dozen people from each area.

These people are almost all close subordinates of a low-level camp or general manager. They are supported by others on weekdays. They focus on strengthening their muscles and practicing martial arts. They often join forces to help the master's family solve some troublesome matters that are not visible to the public.

This time he came to the outskirts of Beijing to attack Mengjiazhuang, which was considered his largest private operation in recent years.

However, most of these people have limited knowledge. Apart from some unsolved cases they have done in the past, at most they can only reveal some of their own superiors, but they do not know much about the inside story.

But the real boss still has to be found from [Golden Sword] Li Assistant.

When Ergou and others were about to interrogate Li Zhu, he had already woken up.

Li Zhu was quite excited when he saw Ergou. He couldn't help but said: "Chen Ergou! I don't accept it! How could a certain family lose to you?!"

Ergou sneered: "You are so exhausted that you can't blame anyone for coming!"

Li Zhu struggled feebly, but unfortunately the cowhide rope tied around his body was a little too tight and he couldn't struggle.

Li Zhu took a deep breath and said: "Li has been practicing swordsmanship since he was a child, and he has never fallen behind others! Yicheng has rarely encountered opponents since his debut, and I don't want to lose at your hands today. It's just that My defeat this time was a bit unclear, I want to know why you were able to sustain for so long under my fast sword attack?"

Ergou said seemingly frivolously: "I am young, have good physical strength, and have enough endurance! I can naturally survive you!"

Li Assistant felt anxious after hearing this, but he suppressed his anger and said: "Brother Chen! Li is not a fool. If you can sincerely tell me the reason, Li will be willing to tell you the secret of this action one by one. I believe it. I, you will never suffer!"

Ergou snorted coldly and said: "You guys are really funny! I told the truth and never concealed the truth, but you don't want to believe it. Do you have to make up an unknown reason for me?! Humph! The secrets of your family I don’t care whether you like to talk or not! Taoist priest Xue, cut off this guy’s hands so that he can never use a sharp sword from now on! Straight bitch! He’s so long-winded, just look at it. Get angry!"

Xue Daoyuan, who was next to him, said yes, then drew out his green steel sword and measured Li Zhu's arm. He seemed to feel that it was difficult to do anything because the guy was tied up, but he said to Taoist Shouzhen on the other side: "Tao Brother, help me! It’s hard to get rid of this guy because he’s tied up like this, and if I pull his arms out, I’ll chop him into pieces!”

Taoist Shouzhen said lazily: "Why go to all this trouble? Taoist priest, I will just smash his pipa bones with a copper whip, so that he can have arms but can't use the sword. This is not cheap!"

However, even though he was talking, his hands were not slow to untie the rope on Assistant Li's arm.This situation really frightened Li Zhu. It should be noted that this guy's ability basically lies in a pair of arms. If someone really cuts off his arms or breaks the pipa bone, it will be his last If he survives, he will become a useless person, which is really ten times more tragic and vicious than killing him directly.

You bunch of bitches!How could he be so disrespectful of moral principles and act so viciously from the very beginning? He was simply not a son of a human being!

Straight bitch!Master Dao, I have no choice but to compromise, at least to keep a useful body for the future!
However, Li Zhu struggled to prevent Taoist Shouzhen from untying the rope on his body, and kept shouting: "Slow down! Come on! Little brother of the Chen family! Li is willing to tell the truth, but I just ask you to show your kindness and don't hurt me." My arm. It’s a pity that I have been practicing swordsmanship for twenty years, and I have to endure a lot of hardships before I can become a good swordsman. If I lose my arms, life will be worse than death even if I live in the future!”

Ergou sneered: "Hmph! You look like a cunning fellow! I'm afraid you'll tell lies that are not true! How can I dare to believe you? I'd better cut off your arms and kill you directly. It’s better to use your own skills to avoid the consequences of raising tigers!”

However, Taoist Shouzhen also cooperated with Ergou's words and squeezed Li Zhu's arms. Li Zhu's shoulders were squeezed with a pair of iron-like hands, causing severe pain in Li Zhu's shoulders.

Li Zhu couldn't bear the pain, but shouted: "Please forgive me! Forgive me! Li is willing to swear an oath and never tell lies!"

Ergou waved his hand, but Taoist Shouzhen relaxed his grip and did not move away.

Ergou said coldly: "Then tell me, why are you besieging Mengjiazhuang this time?"

Li Zhu quickly told everything he knew.

It turns out that when Ergou sold the salt essence in Huazhou, he had been targeted by the evil cultists in Tiantai Mountain. Especially the merchant who bought a jar of salt essence from Ergou and ran away overnight, but was chased by an evil cultist. When asked, the man managed to escape by relying on the salt spirit's ability to dispel evil.

Only then did the evil spirits realize that the salt essence sold by Ergou was not ordinary, which triggered the interception and killing outside Fengqiu City.

Since the failure of the interception and the killing of Chen Nianyi, the Evil Daoist, and Chen Xiyi, the Fuzi of the Forbidden Army, although the Evil Daoists had to disappear for a while, they paid more attention to Ergou.

Ergou has been in the capital for a short time, but he has done a lot of great things, especially his ability to heal the disabled. After all, the evil cultists in Tiantai Mountain got wind of it.

If it were another person, the evil cultists might have taken their time to confirm the authenticity, but for Ergou, a person registered with them, they would definitely kill the wrong person and not let him go.

Earlier, they kept sending people to test the small Taoist temple. In fact, they were paralyzing the demon-suppressing Taoists, thinking that they secretly deployed people to round up Ergou as a cover.

Originally, according to the predictions of the evil cultivators, their roundup should be almost certain. For this reason, they did not even directly use the manpower hidden in the Beijing Camp Forbidden Army, and only let them do some cover in secret.

Now their first plan is obviously bankrupt, but the evil ones will never give up.

There is no doubt that the next wave of enemy troops will arrive soon.

And Ergou and the others' opponents this time were none other than the genuine General of the Forbidden Army of the Great Song Dynasty's Jingying Camp.

To be honest, this last news really made Ergou quite worried. He was not worried about his own safety, but worried that Mengjiazhuang would really not be able to be saved if it was attacked by the Forbidden Army.

Even if the Imperial Guards who took action acted privately, they had serious status after all, and they were really unable to resist. Even if they were driven back again, there would be an endless stream of real Imperial Guards coming to "revenge" them.

It should be noted that there are hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops stationed in and around Bianliang City. One person can drown Ergou and others with just a spit of spit.

Ergou made a decision on his own while thinking about it!
The capital's territory can't wait any longer!
Return to Xiangzhou!
Of course, even if you want to leave, you have to deal with the beginning and end, and you can't just leave directly.

However, Ergou abandoned Li Zhu and called Jiao Dong to discuss some matters. Then he found Xiao Shi and the Sword Girl guard, told her the inside story, and went to ask her whether she wanted to return to Bianliang City or to fight with her. The two dogs went to Xiangzhou together.

Xiaoshi was willing to follow Ergou, but the Sword Princesses had different opinions. They really couldn't make the decision themselves, so they could only go to the top management of "Mulan Ji" such as Mrs. Yang, Cao Xiangu and others to make a decision.

It just takes time, and time is so tight.

Of course, they wanted to take Xiao Shi directly back to Bianliang City, but they couldn't rely on the Sword Princesses alone. They were worried that they couldn't protect Xiao Shi, and a random top player might cause them to collapse. Although this The probability of this situation is not high, but no swordswoman dares to take such a risk.

After some discussions, Ergou and others decided to divide their troops into two groups. On one group, Ergou and others would take Xiao Shi and most of the sword girls to temporarily stay in Mengjiazhuang. Young Zai went to Bianliang City under the leadership of Mrs. Meng to avoid the limelight.

The Sword Queens also divided their manpower and went to the city to inform the top management of [Mulan Ji] about the changes.

Not far to the south of Mengjiazhuang is the Jinshui River, and five miles to the north is the Wuzhang River. No matter which river you reach, you can take a boat directly to the outer city of the capital.

After some discussions, the people in Mengjiazhuang all went to the Jinshui River, where they also had their own boats. They rented some boats and took a group of people from Zhuangzi to the Kaihuayuan along the river to take a rest at the Kaihuayuan in the city.

As for the adult men in Mengjiazhuang, they can go to Jiao Dong's small Taoist temple to stay temporarily. After all, the gate of the capital is still very strict about the inspection of groups of men, so the young men should not feel uncomfortable going there.

As for the two sword girls who were arranged to report the news, they rushed to the Wuzhang River in the north overnight and took the ferry that had been waiting to be placed there. They entered the city through the water gate with a specific seal and rushed down the river to Luoshui Village.

Jiao Dong did not leave, he decided to follow Er Gou to live and die, so a group of eleven people, Er Gou, Xiao Shi, Taoist Shouzhen, Xue Daoyuan, Jiao Dong, and the six sword girls who were responsible for guarding Xiao Shi, stayed alone. In Mengjiazhuang.

Of course, there are still thirteen prisoners in Mengjiazhuang, but Ergou does not intend to keep them all.

The three living armored warriors, one named Zhu, one named Li, and one named Gu, claimed that they were all from Shandong. Originally, the two dogs were going to kill them, but they all had to beg for their lives and surrender.

The reason is that their whereabouts have been exposed this time, and the evil people do not allow their subordinates to fail. Even if they go back, they will die. It is better to defect to Ergou and survive for a while.

Not only him, but all the surviving prisoners were willing to surrender to Ergou, which made Ergou quite unbelievable.

Is it really that easy to recruit surrender and rebels in this world? !
Ergou saw Li Zhu again and told him about the behavior of the prisoners. Unexpectedly, Li Zhu was not surprised at all.

But he said: "Little brother, don't doubt it. It's not just him, but also Li who wants to serve you. It's not that we don't have loyalty, it's because our former master is not worthy of loyalty. They all use evil I have lost control of my subordinates through techniques, but now that I have lost control, there is no reason to go back."

Ergou asked in surprise: "Sorcery control?"

Li Zhu sighed: "Yes! We were all under the control of those evil ways at the beginning. We swore an oath in front of the holy statue of Qingbao Tianzun and drank the talisman water. But we have to fight to the death for Tianzun. The victory will be endless, and the defeat will be death. ! Death is liberation!"
