A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 8 Who dares to walk together?

At this moment, Qi Tianliang suddenly gasped and shouted: "There are officers and soldiers coming."

Everyone looked at it, and sure enough there were several Ming officers and soldiers coming from the direction of Juludun. Judging by their attire, they should be the defenders in Dunnei.

The leader is an army leader holding a team gun flag, wearing old armor, in his 40s, he looks like a pier army commander, behind him are several sergeants wearing tattered mandarin duck battle jackets, everyone looks nervous , looking around, afraid that a few golden cavalry would rush out from somewhere accidentally.

Zhong Dayong was overjoyed, he hurriedly went up to meet him, and shouted: "So it's uncle, I really didn't expect you to come to help me."

That officer was the Jiachang Wang Youjin who refused Ludun. He was tall and thin, with a pale complexion, which made him look a little bit weird.His younger sister Wang married Zhong Dayong as his wife, and she was Zhong Dayong's brother-in-law. At this time, he led a few men to rescue Zhong Dayong, which seemed to be affectionate to his family.

Wang Youjin's voice was feminine: "You and I are a family, why are you being polite?"

He glanced at the tragic situation in front of the pier, let out a long breath, and asked, "The Tartars are gone?"

Zhong Dayong rejoiced and said, "Leave, but some common people were unlucky enough to suffer."

The two said a few words, and this time, Zhong Dayong's wife, Mrs. Wang, also came to see Wang Youjin, calling him his elder brother. Wang Youjin smiled, "It's good that you're fine, third sister."

He asked about the situation just now, and Zhong Dayong said that he was a little surprised when he heard that Wang Dou shot down Hou Jin's white armor with one arrow, and the three people in the pier were still able to shoot at Hou Jin's army. Dou, Han Chao and Han Zhong turned around, their voices full of envy: "It seems that my brother-in-law has capable people under his command."

Zhong Dayong suppressed his complacency in his heart: "The three of them are also brave, but they are a little irritable on weekdays."

Speaking of this, he thought of Wang Dou's rudeness to him that day, and his face darkened again.

At this moment, a person behind Wang Youjin snorted coldly, and then Wang Dou felt a provocative look towards him, Wang Dou looked coldly, but it was a person behind Wang Youjin who didn't accept dressing up all night.This man was about 30 years old, with a full face and a tall figure. His tattered mandarin duck battle jacket was stretched out, and a waist knife was loosely held in his right hand.

From his memory, Wang Dou knew that this person was Gao Shiyin, one of the two nights that refused to accept Ludun, he had always been tyrannical, had the experience of killing good men and taking meritorious service, and Wang Dou had been bullied by him before.

Hearing that the soft bastard in front of him was able to shoot down a golden white armor, Gao Shiyin didn't believe it at all. If it was Han and Chao brothers, he would still believe it, but Wang Dou... Gao Shiyin sneered in his heart, Wang Dou is he I understand, although this soft guy is tall and big, he is a coward. He beat him all over the place before, and he didn't even have the guts to fight back. Can he shoot down a white-armored Tartar army with one arrow?Liar.Thinking of this, his hands were itchy again.

Everyone in Juludun over there had also heard of Wang Dou's "reputation". Hearing what Zhong Dayong said, they whispered and looked at Wang Dou with suspicion.

At this moment, Wang Youjin turned his gaze to the few commoners beside him, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with these refugees?"

Zhong Dayong spoke softly, and he said, "Brother, please take a step to speak."

He quietly pulled Wang Youjin aside, and the two whispered a few times. Wang Youjin nodded while listening, his gloomy eyes turned on those common people, and finally he said with a low smile: "Alright, I cut off the head five times." Five-cent account, just to exchange for some reward silver, maybe you and I can raise it up."

The old man and the few surviving civilians stood aside blankly, feeling the increasingly obvious hostility of the officers and soldiers in front of them, and they became more and more uneasy, and the old man was still the leader, he said in a trembling voice: "Military masters, we are still waiting for you!" If you want to go to Weizhou to join relatives and friends, if there is no other order, the younger ones will leave."

At this time Wang Youjin gave a wink, and Gao Shiyin and Juludun and several Ming soldiers came out. They all drew their waist knives, with greedy and cruel smiles on their faces. Some men said: "Big brother, let me use your head!"

Those people screamed and cried bitterly. They huddled together in fear. They didn't expect to be massacred by the Jin army after they escaped, and they would be brutally murdered by the officers and soldiers. Zhao Zhao..."

Seeing this scene, everyone in Jingbiandun showed unbearable expressions on their faces. Everyone turned their faces away. Han Zhong opened his mouth to say something, but Han Chao grabbed him.

Wang Dou felt cold all over his body. He knew that the military discipline in the late Ming Dynasty was corrupt, and it was common to kill good men and pretend to be meritorious service. There was a Ming army who would dress up women's corpses to look like men, so he was greatly respected in the army. He read history books every time. They were all indignant, they didn't expect this kind of unconscionable thing to happen openly in front of them.

Gao Shiyin was about to grab the young man's hair, when a disdainful voice sounded from the side: "What is it if you are capable of killing common people but not capable of killing Tartars?"

Gao Shiyin shouted violently: "Who is talking?"

Turning around abruptly, Wang Dou looked at him coldly.

Gao Shiyin came over with a smirk, and shouted, "You bastard, but are you talking?"

He threw the waist knife to the ground, and punched Wang Dou in the face. He wanted to use his fist instead of a knife, so that he could teach the fool Wang in front of him a lesson.Unexpectedly, before his fist hit Wang Dou's face, a big fist was in front of his eyes. Gao Shiyin was shocked, and hurriedly backed away.

As soon as he retreated, Wang Douji pressed forward.There was a crackling sound, and in the blink of an eye, the two were fighting for their lives.Gao Shiyin lost the opportunity and had no choice but to keep retreating, barely protecting his face with his arms.Wang Dou pressed hard at every step without mercy, his fists were fierce and wide open, each punch was as heavy as a thousand pounds, hitting Gao Shiyin in utter agony, he felt very regretful in his heart, he shouldn't have underestimated this soft man Egg.

Seeing the situation in front of them, everyone present was stunned. How could they have seen such a dangerous fight?Those Ming soldiers who refused to take the pier had already stopped, just staring blankly at the situation in the field, everyone felt chills in their hearts, this king... Wang Dou, when did he become so tough?

Suddenly he groaned, Gao Shiyin was punched heavily in the chest by Wang Dou, he felt a salty taste welling up in the corner of his mouth, he tried hard to hold back the blood, but at this moment his legs were already weak , Could no longer support it, and fell heavily to the ground.

The scene was very quiet, Wang Dou glanced over coldly, no one dared to look at him, even Zhong Dayong retracted his angry words.When he saw Han Chao, he also had a look of shame on his face, and looked down at his vamp.

Wang Dou said to the old man: "Old man, let's go, be careful on the road."

The old man knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, his voice choked up: "Thank you, Mr. Jun, you are a good person, and you will definitely be rewarded."

The few of them supported each other, and walked away slowly, farther and farther away, and finally there were only a few faint crying sounds.

No one dared to stop the people from leaving, and the soldiers of Juludun stood there in embarrassment until the figures of the people disappeared, and Wang Youjin coughed. With a gloomy expression, he said to Zhong Dayong: " Great use, your subordinates are brave and brave, but you are too reckless, you armor leader, hehe..."

Zhong Dayong saw that the head in his hand was gone, and he was very angry in his heart, and when he heard Wang Youjin's words, his face changed even more, and finally he shouted angrily: "Wang Dou, you are so bold, you have disobeyed me several times, don't you?" Do you think I dare not punish you? You know, I am the leader of the trick."

Wang Dou said indifferently: "Chung Tou, don't you blame me for preventing you from killing the good and pretending to be meritorious? If you want the head, I'll go and chop some tartars."

Zhong Dayong's face turned green for a while, then turned pale for a while, before he could speak, a person from Juludun rushed forward and said, "You mean you're going to chop off the heads of those Tartars? Hmph, that's really big!" tone!"

Wang Dou knew that this man was called Tan Jinrong, and he was also one of the people who refused to accept him at night. He wanted to make friends with Gao Shiyin. Gao Shiyin lost face today, so he was naturally uncomfortable. If he grabbed Wang Dou at this time, he would be sarcasm .

Wang Dou said indifferently: "Even if you don't tell me, I'm going to kill the Tartars. Is there anyone with eggs going with me?"

Ma Ming, who had been caressing his wife's body in silence, stood up slowly and said, "Brother Wang, I will go with you, Erya is dead, and I don't want to live anymore, I want to kill Tartar and avenge her. "

Wang Dou praised: "Okay, finally there is one with eggs, who else dares to go with him?"

Han Zhong jumped up abruptly, and muttered, "I'll go too, grandma, what's the point of killing people, it's the ability to kill Tartars, brother Wang, I support you."

Wang Dou said loudly: "Okay, there is another hero, who else?"

Han Chao said calmly: "I'll go too, follow Brother Wang to kill the thief, only follow the lead."

Wang Dou was even more pleased, with the brothers Han Chao and Han Zhong, the Jin army was more confident in beheading those few by himself.

Qi Tianliang gritted his teeth: "I'll go too!"

Her wife, Tao Shi, was a little worried, so she teased him, and Qi Tianliang said proudly, "Damn it, if you're dead, you're worthless, so you might as well fight!"

Wang Dou said loudly: "Okay, we are all good brothers of Yidun, and we all work together to kill thieves and make meritorious deeds."

The situation in front of him took a turn for the worse, Zhong Dayong and Wang Youjin were stunned, especially Zhong Dayong, who did not expect that all the soldiers in Dunnei would stand by Wang Dou's side, he felt angry for a while, but then his thoughts changed, That's fine too, if Wang Dou and the others were able to decapitate their heads and make meritorious service, naturally their own credit would be indispensable. If they don't succeed, it's fine to die outside, so as to save that fool Wang from being a scourge in the dungeon.

He and Wang Youjin looked at each other, they were indeed relatives, but they had a good understanding, Wang Youjin nodded slightly, Zhong Dayong coughed, and said sharply: "Okay, the army's heart is available, and killing thieves for the country is the duty of my Ming soldiers. If you have done meritorious service, I will definitely ask the superiors to reward you for your merits. Of course, I am responsible for guarding the dungeon, so I can only wait in the dungeon for your good news to return."

The remaining Yang Tong hurriedly said: "There is only one person in the whole pier, Zhong Tou, it is too thin, and the situation of the Tartars is still unknown, so I will stay in the pier and guard with Zhong Tou."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in Jingbian Dun looked at him disdainfully, his wife Liu Shi also looked at him disappointedly, Yang Tong smiled reluctantly, turned his head away, and did not dare to touch everyone eyes.

Wang Dou didn't even look at Yang Tong, but just looked at Gao Shiyin over there indifferently. After he was beaten to the ground by him, this guy still looked fiercely at him, but this guy's skills are not bad , where it is useful.

He squinted at each other, and said calmly: "Gao Shiyin, do you have the guts to go with me to fight for military merits in exchange for reward silver?"

Gao Shiyin gave Wang Dou a look of resentment, but his face was livid and he didn't speak.

Wang Dou snorted disdainfully: "You dare not go, you eggless waste, what other skills do you have besides playing prestige in front of women and children?"

Gao Shiyin glared at Wang Dou angrily, the flesh on his face trembled, he shouted sharply: "Fool Wang, how dare you humiliate me in front of everyone?"

Wang Dou snorted coldly, and didn't bother to look at him anymore, his appearance made Gao Shiyin go crazy with anger, he gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear Wang Dou apart.

Han Zhong shouted loudly: "Gao Manzi, let's go together, kill the Tartars in exchange for silver rewards, look at you, I'm afraid you haven't eaten meat for a long time, it's good to have money to eat and drink hot food, isn't it good?"

After hesitating for a while, he muttered again: "Damn, this guy is really eggless, isn't it true that what Brother Wang said, this guy only dares to kill common people, not Tartars?"

At this time, Gao Shiyin was really moved. He had been poor for a long time, so he was really afraid, and the current military rewards were indeed quite a lot.This time after the Jin army invaded the bandits, in order to boost the morale of the Ming army, Daming set up a reward of 30 taels of silver for the first level of beheading, and all the horses and cattle he got were given to himself, although it was not as good as the 50 taels of silver for the first level of beheading in the early and middle of the Ming Dynasty. The reward is heavy, but it has returned to the scale of the Jiajing period, which is enough to make many desperadoes' hearts move.

Stirred by Wang Dou and Han Zhong again, he yelled: "Who is afraid? If you want to kill the Tartars, who is afraid of whom?"

Wang Dou nodded and said, "Okay, I'm finally a man."
