Blood from Daming

Chapter 469 Fugu
Three days later, Li Xiaoyong's 1000 elite Xue family troops entered Fugu County, Shanxi Province. The Fugu County government and local militia forces, which had just won the victory against the bandits, were so motivated that they sent troops out of the city to intercept Li Xiaoyong's army. Surrounded by officers and militias, they clamored to kill the thieves.

Li Xiaoyong got a report from his subordinates that there were officers, soldiers and militia groups blocking the way ahead. He asked Mr. Li Qian for instructions. For the mixed horse bandits, it is normal for the officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress themselves, so they just hit the horses and watch the enemy before the battle.

Just before the battle, Gao Yigong's eyes turned red and he said to Li Xiaoyong: "General Li, these are the Fugu County officers and soldiers who hunted down my sister. You must avenge my sister's subordinates."

After Li Xiaoyong listened and nodded, he raised his head and looked at the people of Fugu County in front of him. There were three or four thousand people in a dense crowd. Li Xiaoyong was beating his heart. The defeat of so many Ming armies would not only cause chaos in Shaanxi, but also the imperial court. After this battle, Li Xiaoyong felt that the great influence on Xue's army was out of control.

At this time, the old and disabled magistrate of Fugu saw that the bandit cavalry did not charge, and thought it was a good opportunity to attack. It was another great achievement to hand in the copper and iron, plus the female bandit who was defeated last time, her own promotion is a sure thing.

At the beginning, the ground was vented after such a rush. In front were the officers and soldiers of the Ming army, and the soldiers of the Chinese army were wearing variegated armor. The reason for the idea of ​​catching bandits to make a fortune is that there are no powerful bandit gangs in the Shanshan area, and most of them are stragglers.

Li Xiaoyong was overjoyed when he saw it. Apart from the hundreds of officers and soldiers in the front, there were militias and ordinary people behind him. It turned out to be a mob. A team like this mainly consisted of militias and ordinary people. Even if he killed some of them, I believe the local officials would deliberately conceal it. In the real situation, the casualties in the capital are basically not much lethal.

Li Xiaoyong ordered Ma Ming, the subordinate of General Xue Liu who was beside him, to say: "Brother Ma, how do you go to practice your hands?"

Ma Ming was ordered by Xue Liu to bring a thousand elite cavalry from Xue's army to cooperate with Li Xiaoyong to fight. Now the general Li Xiaoyong asked himself, Ma Ming patted his chest and said: "Brother Li, how do you fight, I will listen to you."

Li Xiaoyong thought for a while and said: "Brother Ma, I don't want to use firearms to advance the target. You can lead the cavalry to charge and defeat it. Don't make too many murders, and remember to capture some prisoners for questioning."

Ma Ming said, "Well, Brother Li, let's see my brother."

Ma Ming immediately gave orders to his subordinates, and a thousand cavalrymen of the Xue family army quickly gathered in front of the formation, about half of them gathered. Ma Ming asked his men to blow the horn of attack. They rushed to the officers and soldiers militia in Fugu County.

Ma Ming's cavalry fired three arrows, and the soldiers from Fugu County immediately fell down. Thousands of cavalry had entered the ranks of the officers and soldiers militia in Fugu County. Xue Jiajun's cavalry had their heads fall everywhere with their knives, and their bodies covered the ground everywhere with their guns. More than half of the more than 1000 officers and soldiers militia led by the Fugu county magistrate were killed or injured in just one round trip.

Seeing that the bandits were ferocious and that the officers, soldiers and militias in the county were no match, the ordinary people who were following the county magistrate to pick up bargains immediately vented their enthusiasm for suppressing the bandits. They also stood there and took a look at the wind direction. As long as there is no major change in the officers and soldiers on the battlefield, these people will still slip away with oil under their feet.

The county magistrate of Fugu watched as three to 4000 people slipped away, and no less than a thousand remained on the battlefield. Half of them were still lying on the ground. Li Xiaoyong's firearm battalion who caught up surrounded him.

Gao Yigong immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Surrender quickly, or I will kill you all."

None of the officers and militiamen in Fugu County agreed, so Li Xiaoyong said, "Let the arrows go."

For Li Xiaoyong's special consideration, the Xue Family Army's firearms battalion who pretended to fight this time were all equipped with bows and arrows. Although bows and horses were not as proficient as the cavalry brothers, it couldn't be easier to shoot around a group of people. "A locust-like feathered arrow shot over, three rounds of arrows shot past, and half of the people around the magistrate of Fugu were standing, and even these people who were standing were more or less wounded by the arrows.

The county magistrate of Fugu saw that the bandit's arrows were slowing down, so he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Don't shoot arrows, heroes. I am willing to accept your punishment. Please spare my subordinates."

Without waiting for Li Xiaoyong to speak, Gao Yigong shouted: "Officer Dog, you killed our people, you will die today."

The county magistrate of Fugu was surprised and said: "This is a good man, you are."

Gao Yigong howled angrily: "Officer Dog, you killed all my brothers on the sixth day of February, and today I want you to pay back your blood."

The magistrate of Fugu said in horror: "You and that female thief are in the same group."

Li Xiaoyong signaled his subordinates to hold Gao Yigong, Li Xiaoyong rode forward and said: "My lord, our master has no grievances with you in the past and has no hatred in the present, why did you intercept and kill her? If you don't have a reasonable explanation, I don't mind." Kill officials and rebel."

The magistrate of Fugu County said that he was unlucky this time. He thought he had taken advantage of the ambush last time. It turned out that he had attracted evil stars for himself. , I was not wronged this time, and I let down my figure when I vented my anger.

The magistrate of Fugu softened his tone and said in a low voice: "I was ordered to kill the gangsters who came from Shenmu County. I didn't expect to accidentally hurt the hero. I feel very guilty. I don't know what I can do for the hero. what?"

Li Xiaoyong was silent for a while and said, "I don't blame you for being loyal to the country, but I have to hand over all of my subordinates, whether they are dead or alive, and I will not let go of those militiamen who took advantage of the fire."

The county magistrate of Fugu trembled and said: "Hero, there are more than 30 heroes in the prison, and there are more than a dozen corpses of heroes. The lower officials can hand them over to you, but the leaders of these militias, please forgive me."

Li Xiaoyong asked: "How is the head of my family now?"

The county magistrate of Fugu said: "According to the news from Shaanxi Governor Tang Bao, the head of Guida should be in the Jiazhou area."

Li Xiaoyong said: "You go back and bring the uncle's people, and the officers and soldiers will return them to you when the time comes. If there is a delay, you can collect their corpses for them."

The magistrate of Fugu still wanted to speak, but Li Xiaoyong shouted: "If your lord is unwilling to go back, I don't mind changing someone else to go back and handle this matter."

The county magistrate of Fugu changed his face after hearing Li Xiaoyong's words, and immediately rode his horse and ran towards the county seat. The remaining officers, soldiers and militia were in a commotion, but due to the prestige of Li Xiaoyong's team, they slowly put down their weapons and surrendered. The cavalry circled four or five hundred Fugu County soldiers and civilians to join Li Xiaoyong.

Gao Yigong shouted at Li Xiaoyong: "Brother Li, why did you let that dog official go, I want to kill him to avenge my brothers."

Li Xiaoyong said: "One meritorious service, if you don't let him go back, how will you release those brothers who died and were captured?"

Gao Yigong said: "Brother Li, we broke through Fugu County, why not rescue the brothers as usual."

Li Xiaoyong said angrily: "Yigong, you stupid brain, Mr. Benqian's duty is to save your sister. If you go late, your sister has something wrong and wrong. Mr. Benqian can't make a job when he goes back. What should you do?"

After hearing this, Gao Yigong said anxiously: "Brother Li, it's important that we go and save my sister quickly."

Li Xiaoyong asked: "You don't want those brothers anymore." Gao Yigong was very embarrassed when he heard that, and was anxiously scratching his head.

Li Xiaoyong's subordinates cooperated with Mr. Ma Mingqian to distinguish the government officers and soldiers from the militia people. Those government officials and officers and soldiers knew that the consequences would be serious. , It's just to recruit people into the gang, but the leading militia leaders knew that this time they would suffer a lot of blood and bad luck, but they never thought that this time the bandits were the ones who wanted their lives and money.
