Blood from Daming

Chapter 120
During the first charge of Xue Yun's personal battalion, Lu Yaojin resolutely carried out Xue Yun's request to minimize the casualties of soldiers, and ordered his subordinates to drop more than 30 explosive packages on the recalcitrant thieves. Due to unexpected blows, officers and soldiers of Ma Dashan, Zhang Wangcai, Lin Musen, Ma Feng and other thieves and fake thieves lost their confidence in the final resistance and scattered to all directions to flee the battlefield.

Shopkeeper Chen, who was isolated on the canal, has been feeling very depressed recently. Last time he brought five boats of grain to Cangzhou to make his first business with Xue’s family. The profits are very generous, and he estimated in his heart that as long as he walks two more times to his own Chen's house, he will turn around again, so he borrowed money from his relatives and friends, bought from friendly merchants, and tried his best to organize the most goods within his ability.

Since shopkeeper Chen made a lot of money in the capital last time, everyone in Hangzhou has seen it with his own eyes, not to mention that shopkeeper Chen has been loyal to his business, so relatives, friends, customers and merchants in Hangzhou have responded by opening the door to convenience and counting on it. Shopkeeper Chen eats meat and everyone drinks some soup. Shopkeeper Chen has never counted, and Zhili, the capital of the capital, is not a safe place.

Shopkeeper Chen organized ten shipments of grain and southern goods to enter Shandong and was targeted. Shopkeeper Chen went to Cangzhou to contact Xue Er and Xue Wu and they were about to trade, but it turned out that there were more than 1000 thieves from Shandong and more than 1000 bandits near Cangzhou. , and launched an attack on the grain ship together, shopkeeper Chen had no choice but to row the grain ship to the center of the river to ask Xue Er and Xue Wu for help.

The team of Xue Er and Xue Wu arrived very quickly. The two sides fought each other for five days. People take care of it.

Shopkeeper Chen thought that the thieves would retreat if they could not take advantage of it. Unexpectedly, the thieves in Shandong were so courageous that they fought against the officers and soldiers and had no intention of leaving. The shopkeeper vaguely felt that he had become a victim of the Xue family and other forces, but seeing that the owner of the Xue family had traded with him did not give up his support and only persisted tenaciously. The good grain boat waited and watched the outcome of the two teams on the shore.

Shopkeeper Chen’s grain ship was safely and unattended until yesterday afternoon, but the two ends of shopkeeper Chen’s grain ship were blocked by other ships. But he asked for help from Cangzhou, but no one answered him, and in the end he had to resign himself to fate.

Shopkeeper Chen had a glimmer of hope yesterday when the cavalry from the dark brigade came over. He thought it was the arrival of the army. After the more than 1000 cavalry entered the camp of thieves, shopkeeper Chen was completely desperate. They sank ten ships of grain.

In the morning, shopkeeper Chen was pulled out of the cabin by the battle horn, and he watched the final confrontation between the Xue family army and the Shandong thieves on the shore listlessly. The one who was robbed was the result of heavy debts and family ruin, but it was too late to repent. Now shopkeeper Chen has given up his mind and is waiting for the final judgment of his own fate.

Shopkeeper Chen had been sitting there numbly in a daze, and was suddenly awakened by a servant beside him. The servant pointed to the river bank to show Shopkeeper Chen that a thieves appeared behind those Shandong thieves who were confronting Xue Er and Xue Wu of the Xue family. The cavalry with the banner of "Xue" is rushing straight into the rear of Shandong thieves with lightning speed.

Shopkeeper Chen's dead heart began to beat violently again, and after a while there were shouts of "the general is dead", "the general is dead" and "my lord is dead", and the Shandong thieves became confused.

Shopkeeper Chen moved forward with excitement. If there were no servants around him, he might have fallen into the river. Then there were explosions in the team of Shandong thieves, and there were puffs of smoke, and thieves kept falling down. Seeing a general from the Xue family army killed by the river, shopkeeper Chen recognized at a glance that it was Xue Yun, the young master of the Xue family who had negotiated business with him, and shopkeeper Chen was very excited. .

Thinking that Xue Yun was the lieutenant general of Datong and a famous anti-golden hero in the Ming Dynasty, shopkeeper Chen realized that he had climbed a big tree, and suddenly felt that his future was infinitely bright, so how could he In a short period of time, the thieves on the shore had collapsed and scattered in all directions. Shopkeeper Chen understood that everything was over and finally the rain was over.

Xue Yun led his troops to turn around and fight back in the ringing horse formation, and ran into a bandit of about 100 people head-on. Seeing that Xue Yun was the leader of the Ming army, the bandit rushed over desperately. Xue Yun danced the eight-treasure plum blossom spear To the extreme, it's a move to kill and stab the soul, and to kill a pair of thieves. There are only 80 to [-] people left in this group of bandits. Immediately, the Ming army sent three packs of explosives, and the men and horses riding on Feng Feng confused the Ming army and slashed up. The remaining [-] or [-] bandits, including the bandit leader Ma Feng, died in the chaotic blades of the Ming army.

Xue Er and Xue Wu's remaining officers and soldiers had accumulated grievances for a long time. Seeing the Datong Ming army killing Shandong bandits was like cutting melons and cutting vegetables, it also aroused blood in their hearts, shouting to avenge their dead comrades and kill them with red eyes. When they came up, the thieves who had lost their organized resistance began to shout to surrender, and the soldiers of the Xue family, who were red-eyed, ignored it at all and went down like slaughtering a chicken.

Most of the high-ranking officials and nobles watching the excitement on the boat in the canal were stunned, staring blankly at the bloody slaughterhouse on the river bank. In less than half an hour, nearly 5000 soldiers and horses were killed by more than 1000 cavalry from the Xue family. , only a few hundred remnants of the cavalry fled to the south, followed by the Xue family army of the brigade and chased them down. Some people wondered whether it was a wise decision for the Xue family to have Xue Yun to fight against the Xue family.

After Xue Yun ordered Lu Yaojin to lead the [-] fellow troops to pursue the fleeing remnant cavalry, he ordered Xue Er, Xue Wu, Wang Erwa, Liu Dazhuang, Zuo Ming, Xue Siyuan, Xue Dahan and other subordinates to clean up the battlefield. The officers and soldiers killed all the bandits who resisted, and the rest of the bandits who surrendered were captured. Most of the bandits and injured bandits were dealt with on the spot.

Soldiers under Xue Er and Xue Wu brought over Lin Musen, the leader of the thieves who had been caught. Xue Yun looked at the blood-stained middle-aged man and asked, "Who hired you to come with my Xue family?" Right."

Lin Musen raised his head and looked down at Xue Yun without saying a word, Xue Yun said, "Fifth Brother, take all the prisoners from the Lin Family Stone Fort in Cangzhou."

After a while, about 300 people were driven over, accounting for more than [-]% of the captives. Xue Yun said to Lin Musen, "Now it's your turn."

Lin Musen spoke softly: "I'm helping, I don't know who is going to embarrass your Xue family."

Xue Yun drew the eight-treasure plum-blossom gun in the air, and Liu Dazhuang and Zuo Ming led their men to rush into the group of prisoners in Linjiashibao. Thirty people were dragged out of the rioting prisoners. Everyone was terrified and kowtowed to Xue Yun and the Ming army to beg for mercy. Seeing that the begging to the Ming army was ineffective, the prisoners begged the boss Lin Musen to confess.

Lin Musen looked in the middle of the river and finally had no mouth. Xue Yun took a big shot, Liu Dazhuang and Zuo Ming immediately raised their knives and cut off the heads of [-] people. Those prisoners who had died with death were still screaming at Lin Musen at the top of their lungs. Eighteen generations of ancestors, greetings to the women of Lin Musen's family.

Liu Dazhuang and Zuo Ming's group immediately went to the captives to arrest people without Xue Yun's call. After killing more than a dozen people who jumped more fiercely, the prisoners calmed down obediently, and began to beg Lin Musen to confess and tell the instigator.

Xue Yun looked at the stopped boats on the river and called Xue Er and Xue Wu to ask them to get some boats to detain the boats and boats wandering in the river without incident. He immediately rowed over because General Xue wanted to use a boat. After hearing this, shopkeeper Chen immediately ordered all the grain boats under his command to come to the north bank.

People on boats on the river saw that there were many Ming soldiers around the bank and knew that there was nothing to sing, so they rowed their boats and fled the waters quickly.In fact, Xue Yun didn't really want to find a boat to surround those watching boats, but he killed himself and didn't want too many people to see him.

Xue Yun waited for those ships to go far away, without asking Lin Musen, he ordered the killing of those thirty people, Liu Dazhuang, Zuo Ming and the others started to arrest people again, and the rest of the captives completely collapsed Surrounded Lin Musen, some betting God cursed and cursed, and some cried bitterly and begged him to speak.

Lin Musen said with a pale face: "General Xue, you are an officer and soldier, how can you kill the people of Ming Dynasty indiscriminately like this? If you have the ability, you come to me alone. If a man does one thing and one person, please let them go."

Xue Yun: "Whoever offends my Xue family will die. You will definitely die. Please think more about your Lin family's stone castle." The heads of another thirty people were seen.

Xue Er came over to report to Xue Yun that more than 300 of the remaining [-] captives were officers and soldiers. Among them, there was one Qian Zong, three Ba ​​Zong, and eight general banners. Yun and the others let them go online for the sake of fellow officers and soldiers.

Xue Yun: "What are the origins of the remaining 200 people?"

Xue Er: "I sorted it out roughly, except for the more than 50 Dongchang Majiaji Ma Dashan and Zhang Wangcai's subordinates in Zhangjia Village, Dezhou, there are Shandong thieves Ma Feng and some small groups of bandits."

Xue Yun: "Shandong thieves don't have any nests near the wind."

Xue Er: "Ma Feng is in Shandong, and Henan is wandering around without a fixed place. This time I was invited to join temporarily. According to the account of the captives, this is the first time I have come near Cangzhou."

Xue Yun: "You keep the people from Dongchang Ma Dashan and Dezhou Zhang Wangcai first, and I will kill all the rest of the captives."
