Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 105 Suppression of bandits (5)

As the most famous gang in Cang County, the Wild Boar Gang not only has a large number of people, but also has a wide reputation.The most haunting aspect of the Boar Gang is their disgust, but their viciousness comes second.The well-known rumor is also the "baby-eating" incident:
There are rumors that when the wild boar gang was first established, they did all sorts of crimes. They often kidnapped women and held them up and down the village to vent their desires.The woman does not die, and after several months of pregnancy, the sign of pregnancy appears, and the shame is stopped.Serve it as a human being, make it give birth to a baby, wash it clean, cook the mother and child, and eat it.

Although it was a rumor at this time, most of the people on the ground in Cang County were familiar with it, and their expressions changed when they talked about it.After this rumor spread, no one dared to provoke the Wild Boar Gang anymore, and the surrounding villages even offered to send grain and rice for safety.

On the outskirts of Huang's Manor, where farmers gathered, houses were set on fire. The wind helped the fire, and black smoke shot straight into the sky.Bags of grain, heads of livestock were robbed, and villagers who had no time to escape were killed. Half-grown children sat on the ground crying and were stepped on, rolled on the ground, and stepped on again until they became A cold, rotting corpse.

Crying, laughing lewdly, breaking, roaring, howling...

This is not something that humans can do!

Huang Shimei saw more and more black smoke in the distance, anxious in her heart, rode a rough horse, and led fifty soldiers to the scene of the incident.

"Stop!" Huang Shimei reined in her horse and let out an angry cry.However, the fire that burned the house also made a howling sound, beeping, beeping, and a wall fell down, drowning Huang Shimei's roar.

The misery in the world filled Huang Shimei's eyes, and Huang Shimei was instantly stunned.As the eldest lady, although she has been in charge of the Huang family's affairs for several years, her cultivated xinxing still cannot resist the negative energy impact brought about by the miserable situation in front of her.Huang Shimei's lips turned white, her blood was gone...

"Oh, there is a little beauty here..." Uncle Zhu saw Huang Shimei from a distance, and then saw the soldiers beside Huang Shimei. He didn't understand that it was the master of Huang's family who came, ordered his subordinates to gather, and walked towards Huang Shimei with a grinning grin. come over.When Huang Shimei saw Uncle Zhu's particularly ugly face, she couldn't help being shocked, she came to her senses, and when she looked back, the family soldiers were almost all there, so she couldn't help but yelled:
"kill!"

"Oh, this chick is fierce..." Uncle Zhu smiled after hearing Huang Shimei's words, and said to the people behind: "This chick is not bad, she is very strong, catch her back and enjoy it with my brothers! Let's go!"

"Wow..." A group of gangsters screamed to rush up, and collided with the fifty soldiers who rushed up.Seeing her fifty soldiers fighting with nearly a hundred people, Huang Shimei frowned, almost starting to regret it.Glancing at the person on the other side, Huang Shimei was startled, no, didn't they say that there were hundreds of people here?Why is there only a little bit, and there are still people?later!Huang Shimei took a quick look behind her, and sure enough, nearly a hundred people had quietly entered within a hundred steps.Huang Shimei's back was completely wet. She was focused on the battle ahead and didn't pay attention to the back. If she found out later, it would be a disaster.Huang Shimei withdrew ten people from the front and put them in the back, turning the entire army into a defensive formation. Unfortunately, in the few battles just now, nearly ten of her own soldiers had been lost.

Thinking back to that day, Huang Shimei fought against five or sixty bandits with a dozen people, and she was able to stand up to the battle until Xu Qing came.That's entirely because Huang Shimei's side is completely on the defensive, and now, both sides are attacking. With a one-to-two number, Huang Shimei's family soldiers killed ten people as soon as they touched, while the bandit side only injured a few people.

Huang Shimei blamed herself for being reckless, and took the remaining [-] soldiers to a yard that had not been lit, and started a defensive battle against the half-person-high fence.The bandits surrounded the courtyard and kept throwing stones into it, and the people inside responded with one or two from time to time.Uncle Pig roared: "Give it all to me!"

A kind of bandit is no longer throwing stones, Wu Yangyang rushed up with a weapon!

Fifty versus two hundred!

Seeing the family soldiers fall one after another, Huang Shimei's face was solemn, knowing that the battle would be defeated, and she had no intention of commanding.If you lose, you will be humiliated. Huang Shimei will not wait until that moment. She slowly draws out the exquisite and small sword in her hand and puts it on her neck. Admit it, you are my crush!"

Huang Shimei didn't know if it was a hallucination. The sound of horseshoes when she was rescued that day sounded in her ears. When she opened her eyes, she saw that five or six of her own soldiers had fallen, and the rest were almost dead. Can't stop the robbers from breaking into the yard.Huang Shimei couldn't help laughing at herself, closed her eyes again, put the sword on her neck, and was about to pull it, a soldier shouted: "Reinforcements are coming! It's cavalry!"

The sound of horseshoes became louder and louder. Huang Shimei opened her eyes again and looked at the galloping horses with tears in her eyes!

The reinforcements who came were none other than Xu Qing and his party!Xu Qing led forty cavalry ahead and had already arrived at Huang's Manor.Xu Qing discovered that the bandits were besieging a small courtyard, and immediately ordered an attack.Xu Qing's team first drew the hand crossbow and fired a burst of crossbow arrows.Then they changed into a wedge shape and rushed along the open ground in front of the yard.

A burst of crossbow arrows, a rush to kill, because the bandits were attacked by surprise and stood relatively densely, dozens of lives were left immediately, and their morale plummeted, and they panicked, not knowing where the heavenly soldiers descended!
Uncle Zhu was also terrified, he knew the power of cavalry, and against his dozens of people, one against ten would not be a problem.He thought for a while, and knew that not only was the yard untouchable at the moment, but his own life might also be lost here.Waving his hands, he retreated towards the village gathering place. Where there are many houses, he can hold on for a while to see if the situation changes.

After such a withdrawal, the bandits trampled people in a chaotic manner, and those injured bandits were left alone.Xu Qing took the opportunity to ride his horse back, launched another attack, another round of attacks, and the bandits lost dozens of lives.After chasing, Xu Qing saw that the houses were getting denser and denser, so he stopped the horseshoes and brought the troops back. He also knew what would happen if the cavalry lost their mobility.There is no need to take risks, anyway, isn't there still a thousand infantry behind us?

Huang Shimei chased after the remaining wounded soldiers, but the moment she saw the reinforcements, especially Xu Qing's face, her face changed, and a terrible idea formed in her mind. "How come it's such a coincidence that he saved me again? Could it be that this is a scene where a hero saves a beauty?" Huang Shimei was expecting that heroic figure to save her at first, but after confirming this fact, she became worried again.She was worried that Xu Qing deliberately acted out this scene of a thief shouting catch a thief and a hero saving the beauty in order to get her or her Huang family.

"Could it be the last time..." Huang Shimei's heart bleeds. Taking charge of the Huang family gave her composure and a lot of suspicion.Although the "hero" in front of her was not necessarily a show, she was still very sad because of her suspicion.

The bandits retreated temporarily, and Xu Qing also began to rest his troops. Several people were also injured just now.Huang Shimei came over and gave a manly salute, and said, "Thank you, my lord, for saving me." However, her complexion was quite unfriendly, who knew that Xu Qing didn't even look at her, and while lowering her head to help the wounded soldier treat the wound, she replied: " It is the governor's responsibility to protect the environment and the people, and exterminate the bandits, so there is no need to thank Miss Huang."

After hearing this, Huang Shimei was dizzy for a while by the big news in Xu Qing's words, unable to react.When Xu Qing stood in front of her with a smile on her face, she regained consciousness, lowered her head and blushed and said, "You, you are the governor..." Now it makes sense, rumors that the governor There is already a marriage, so it is natural to send troops to rescue because of the kindness of the person.Heroic and kind, how can the person I, Huang Shimei, fall in love with?Huang Shimei blamed herself for not being able to smile at the beginning, she was not a lady at all, and worried whether she had a bad impression in front of Xu Qing.But after thinking about it, he said in a lost heart:

But, he has a wife, alas...

"Why, don't believe me, look, this is my fish talisman..." Looking at Huang Shimei, who was indifferent just now, but now shy like a little girl, Xu Qing laughed, untied the fish bag on her waist and handed it to her. Huang Shimei said.Where did Huang Shimei dare to take it, she saluted again, which was a woman's Wanfu salute.

Just after the ceremony, Huang Shimei said angrily like a little girl: "Why did you come so late, the bandits killed a lot of people, you bad assassin!" But as soon as she finished speaking, Huang Shimei regretted it, thinking that the other party saved me The assassin!But I have become petty...

"Ahaha, it's my fault, now I can only take revenge..." Xu Qing was speechless for a while, she was just a little girl, but now she is blaming her again.

Huang Shimei lowered her head and hummed softly. Seeing that Xu Qing was not angry, but honestly admitted her mistake, she couldn't help but feel ripples in her heart and buzzing in her ears.Who wouldn't want their sweetheart to be better, more powerful, more considerate, and more good-natured?Although the sweetheart is someone else's pillow after all, Huang Shimei is still very happy to see Xu Qing doting on her little temper in such a short time.

"Master Xu, the bandits have sent someone to negotiate with you..." A cavalryman got off his horse and reported to Xu Qing.

"Negotiation? Don't talk about it!" Xu Qing also knew the viciousness of the wild boar gang, and he had nothing to talk about with this circle of dehumanized people. Xu Qing ordered: "Separate out ten riders and monitor them. Once you find them coming out, let me know." Kill! The remaining people greet them with crossbow arrows!"

After Xu Qing gave orders to his subordinates, he said to Huang Shimei: "Take the soldiers back and collect the scattered villagers..." Huang Shimei would not listen to Xu Qing's words, but after she ordered the soldiers to do things , but stayed behind.Xu Qing wanted to drive her away, saying it was not safe, but she pointed at her horse, stubbornly raised her head and stared at Xu Qing, meaning that I have a horse and can run away...

The bandits guarded the house and were held back by the crossbow arrows and did not dare to move. Once they rushed out, they would be attacked by cavalry again.Although there are still 20 people, but they are useless, they can only stay behind the house that was burnt to nothing but ruins, looking back desperately for a lifetime...

lifetime?There is no life, but it is just like yesterday.

To kill, to kill different people, to be killed by others;

Robbery, robbing different villages, and being shot by bandits;
Eat, steamed cakes with human blood, drink, wine with brains.

Over ten years?Just one day...

It's just that when the memories were brought back to childhood, the faces of parents and relatives became clear again, the only "humanity" in my heart was activated, and there was a cry from the broken wall.
