Jinghong Tower

Chapter 120: Robbery and plunder

The 500 people responsible for escorting are certainly not the main force of the Jin army. At least 300 of the 500 people are old and weak, aged 12, 13, or 40. These people have low combat effectiveness, and this is not a battlefield. Therefore, from top to bottom Then he relaxed his vigilance.

During the march, each person had two thick noodle buns for breakfast and a bowl of rice soup so clear that the silhouette of a human figure could be seen. At noon, they would not set up a stove to cook, but they would have time to burn incense and let them stop to rest and drink water. Most people would I saved half a piece of steamed bun from breakfast, took it out now, and ate the steamed bun with water.

The water was fetched from the well in the morning and carried in a bamboo kettle, but not everyone had a kettle. Those who didn't have a kettle would look around to see if there were any mountain springs or wells.

I'm lucky today. This is an official road, and there is a tea stall on the roadside.

If you are unlucky enough to set up a stall on the official road, you will be charged several taxes a day. Tea is a small profit, and even after working hard for a whole day to sell it, you can't make up the tax. Therefore, this is the first time they have seen a stall on the road. For tea.

If there is any advantage to being a soldier compared to farming, it is that like now, farmers have to pay a penny to buy a bowl of tea, but soldiers can spend nothing.

There was hot tea, but who would drink the cold water from the kettle? Therefore, everyone came over to ask for tea, regardless of whether they brought water or not.

The tea seller was an old woman. When she saw a group of soldiers running towards her like wolves and tigers, she was so frightened that she even gave up her stall and ran away tremblingly.

After drinking the large pots of ready-made tea, everyone also drank the spare buckets of raw water. Even the five cents in the old woman's money box did not know whose pocket it fell into.

These five cents may be the old woman's entire income today.

At this time, the assembly whistle sounded, and the convoy moved forward again. No one paid attention to where the scared old woman went. Of course, they did not know that the old woman had already ridden on the path and was waiting for them in front.

The convoy walked another two miles. Some people in the team complained that they had stomachaches. Some people ran out of the team without waiting for the commander's permission. They unbuttoned their pants while running. They couldn't wait to pull up before they found cover in the grass. Some people gritted their teeth and endured it. I couldn't help it anymore, so I pulled it directly into my crotch.

It would be fine if everything was fine after I had a bowel movement, but it wasn’t and my stomach continued to hurt!

I finished pulling the thick noodle buns in the morning, and also finished half of the buns at noon. I finished pulling the rest, but it still hurts!

Several flag officers were also pooping. They had good food and plenty of food, so they pooped more and smellier.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the forest not far away, including men and women, but all of them were young and strong. They were holding wooden sticks and spears, like tigers descending the mountain for the first time, without fear. , eyes full of excitement and longing.

There is only one word in their minds: grab!

After robbing cars, horses, and weapons, if you've finished robbing them all, then let's rob people!

The boss said, pick the young and the younger to rob, not the old!

Facing the situation in front of them, the Jin army did not react at all. They were still having diarrhea, and were still crying for their fathers and mothers in pain. Even if there were some who were not in pain and did not have diarrhea, they barely resisted, but their fists could not escape the hands of everyone.

Someone was heard shouting: "Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Those who resisted desperately dropped the spears in their hands as if they were granted amnesty, and followed the instructions and squatted aside with their heads in their hands.

Qianhu, who was leading the team, was furious. They had fallen into the trap, these sinister villains!

Qianhu did not drink the water on the roadside, nor did his soldiers. A man rushed towards him on horseback. Although the man was masked, he could tell that she was a young woman, holding a long gun in her hand and looking full of anger.

Qianhu sneered, he thought it was Wu Dongming's army, but now it seems that they are a group of rioting mountain people. Wu Dongming's army was once a regular army of the imperial court, so how could there be women.

If you are a mountain citizen, you don’t need to be afraid. Qianhu shouted loudly: "A group of rats, meet the enemy!" Before he finished speaking, He Ran rushed in front of him: "Who are the rats talking about?"

The spear in his hand was stabbing him. Qianhu's face turned cold, and he waved his Dapu knife to meet him. After only a few rounds, He Ran made a false move, and the Dapu knife in Qianhu's hand struck the air. He Ran smiled sweetly, Thousands of households were killed with one shot.

Xiaoli rushed over, chopped off Qianhu's head with one knife, picked up his own head with Qianhu's Dapu knife, and shouted loudly: "Master Qianhu, I will kill you, you will surrender your arms and not kill me!"

"Disarm without killing!"

"Disarm without killing!"

After a melee, an army of 500 people, including Qian Hu and five flag officers, were all killed. More than 40 soldiers died, more than 100 people fled, and more than 200 people stayed in place. People, it's not that these people didn't want to run, it's that they couldn't run. They had diarrhea until their legs were weak, and they surrendered without even being beaten. However, they didn't want them, and only took away more than a hundred people.

The remaining people were not prepared to go to the nearest military camp for help. All the thirty carts of things they were escorting were robbed. Even if they went back, they would not be able to escape death, so they might as well escape. If they were lucky, they could reunite with their families.

King Jin did not receive news about the hijacking of the convoy until five days later.

But by that time, He Ran and her people, along with the things and people they had robbed, had already disappeared without a trace.

Although some passers-by found many dead people, and the corpses were looted by the passing refugees, and even their clothes were taken away. It was no longer possible to tell that these were soldiers. The passers-by could only report to the Yamen. When collecting the corpses, it was discovered that the corpses might be those of soldiers, so they notified the nearby guard station.

At the same time, the local guard station caught a suspected deserter. After interrogation, combined with the corpses, they finally found out what happened.

The news that the King of Jin received was that the thirty carts of things he gave to the Cai family in Fenzhou were all robbed, including the people and the carts. As for the bandits who robbed the things, the deserters said they were bandits.

The King of Jin gritted his teeth. He couldn't believe that any bandit in Jin territory could be so bold and robbed so many things from an army of 500 people.

"Wu Dongming! It must be Wu Dongming!"

At this moment, a soldier ran in: "Your Majesty, Wu Dongming's army has changed its banner!"

King Jin thought of the rumors he had heard in the past two days and asked in a deep voice: "What flag was changed to?"

"Zhaozi Banner!" the soldier said.

King Jin took a deep breath, Zhao Ziqi, the rumors were true, Wu Dongming had indeed taken refuge with the descendants of King Zhao.

No, it should be the descendants of King Zhao who defected to Wu Dongming.

"Have you found out about King Xiaozhao? Where is he now? Is he in the Wudong Ming army or in Yulin?" King Jin asked.

"King Xiao Zhao is only ten years old. Our people did not find out where he is, but they found out that Wu Dongming and his son had entered Jin Dynasty incognito. It was only after he returned from Jin that he officially changed his banner."

As soon as the soldier finished speaking, King Jin dusted everything in front of the case to the ground!

When Wu Dongming met King Xiao Zhao, he was still under his nose.
