Blood from Daming

Chapter 796 Zhangjiazhai

Zhang Jiyou saw the second and third younger brothers and the soldiers chasing from afar on the walled building, worried that he would encounter a large army of rogues if he chased him far away, he hesitated for a while to see the second and third younger brothers and he had no intention of turning back, so he had to let His subordinate Zhai Ding beat the gong to withdraw his troops, "clang clang", "clang clang", "clang clang", Zhang Jiyou looked far away at a small group of soldiers in the village and stopped their pursuit.

At this moment, Zhang Jiyou suddenly heard the sound of drums shaking the sky in the distance, shouts of killing everywhere, and countless banners appeared where the second brother, third brother and the soldiers were. Being ambushed by bandits, Zhang Jiyou resented his two younger brothers for not listening to him. After this battle, Zhangjiazhai did not know how many people would wear mourning.

Zhang Jiyou looked at the sound of fighting in the distance, and he was thinking about how to rescue his second and third brothers and the soldiers in the village. Of the 600 elite soldiers who were taken away, there were no more than 300 men who could climb the walls of the village, and no more than [-] men who could go out to fight, and most of these people were fathers and bodyguards of wealthy households in the village, no Zhang Jiyou, who is the master of the Shaozhai himself, can command it. Zhang Jiyou thought of sitting here.

Not long after, Zhai Zhangfu, who had been watching the watchtower in his compound, hurried up to the Zhailou with a group of old and young folks. If they are in trouble, hurry up and take someone to rescue them."

Zhang Jiyou said: "My lord, all the villagers who were able to fight in the village were taken away by the second and third brothers. How can I have someone to rescue them?"

It was only then that Zhang Zhangfu realized that there were no soldiers in the village, so he had to discuss with a few wealthy households who came with him. They organized the bodyguards to rescue the besieged villagers outside the village, but not all Zhangjiazhai The rich households are all in the Zhailou, and it's not that the rich households in the Zhailou all have their children out of the Zhaizi. Now it is more dangerous to go out to save people.

Zhang Zhangfu tried his best to persuade him, and managed to gather a hundred bodyguards. Zhang Jiyou led 150 Zhai Dingmen and a hundred bodyguards guarding the gate of the Zhai Zhai to meet him. He could see the besieged Zhangjiazhai troops five miles away. Zhang Jiyou was about to encourage the 250 men under his command to move on, when a group of rogues came to intercept Zhang Jiyou's reinforcements.

This 300-man team was led by Ma Yuanli, Zhang Xianzhong's capable general. The two armies fought immediately when they met. The Zhai Ding bodyguards led by Zhang Jiyou were determined to save people, and all of them took the lead. Most of Ma Yuanli's men were temporarily armed by Zhang Xianzhong. For the hungry people who got up, this kind of team is suitable for fighting downwind with more bullying and less. When encountering the enemy desperately, they can't hold back after a long time. After dozens of people were killed and injured, Ma Yuanli's team began to retreat.

Now Zhang Xianzhong, who was besieging Zhang Jipeng, Zhang Jizhong and other villages in Zhangjiazhai, was so anxious that he had no choice but to call Ji San'er, Miao Dengyun, Miao Dengwu, Little Red Wolf and others to continue the siege, and led the five hundred bandits from his headquarters to come. In the battle against Zhang Jiyou, with the addition of Zhang Xianzhong, the entire battlefield situation changed. Zhang Jiyou immediately killed or injured more than a dozen people. He chopped off the left arm of Zhang Jiyou's spear and stick instructor Master Yang. Master Yang passed out on the spot and was dismembered by Zhang Xianzhong's men.

Zhang Jiyou's men couldn't stand it anymore. After more than a dozen people were killed or injured, everyone shouted and collapsed. More than 200 people scrambled to escape to the gate of Zhangjiazhai. Under the escort of slaves, he also fled to the cottage.

Zhang Xianzhong and Ma Yuanli pursued and killed Zhangjiazhai's defeated soldiers, leaving at least forty or fifty members of Zhangjiazhai. However, when Zhang Xianzhong faced Zhang Jiyou, he gave the besieged Zhangjiazhai a chance to break through. Zhang Jizhong finally led more than 100 people out of the encirclement, who knew that Zhang Jizhong, who had just left the encirclement, met Zhang Xianzhong head-on, Zhang Xianzhong failed to capture the Zhangjiazhai Shaozhai advocate Jiyou, so he came to capture Zhang Jizhong, the third son of Zhangjiazhai.

Zhang Jizhong was the first to stab Zhang Xianzhong with a three-pointed two-edged knife. Zhang Xianzhong saw Zhang Jizhong coming fiercely. The arrow overturned the saddle and fell off the horse, but Zhang Jizhong held the three-pointed two-edged knife tightly in his hand, and charged at Zhang Xianzhong, who was only a few steps away. Zong immediately slashed at Zhang Jizhong's helmet with a knife. Zhang Xianzhong's knife was heavy and fast, and split Zhang Jizhong's head and helmet in half. Zhang Jizhong's brain was split to death on the spot.

The more than 100 villagers who followed Zhang Jizhong saw that the third son was dead, everyone shouted "the third son is dead", and then scattered to flee for their lives. Zhang Xianzhong ordered to intercept and kill them, but these villagers were familiar with the underground, except for a dozen Except for one unlucky ghost who ran slowly, the others escaped by taking advantage of the familiar terrain.

Zhang Jipeng was surrounded by more than 3000 people including Ji San'er, Miao Dengyun, Miao Dengwu, and Little Red Wolf. Zhang Jipeng refused to surrender out of self-esteem, but Zhai Ding was not so strong, and they all turned against each other and begged for surrender, leaving Zhang Jipeng only A dozen buddies.

Zhang Xianzhong didn't persuade Zhang Jipeng to surrender either, and commanded his subordinates to shoot random arrows at Zhang Jipeng and the dozen or so people. Soon Zhang Jipeng and the dozen or so people were shot and fell to the ground. , Ma Yuanli saw Zhang Jipeng's expensive clothes and armor, and spared Zhang Jipeng's life.

So Zhang Xianzhong, together with Ji San'er, Miao Dengyun, Miao Dengwu, and Little Red Wolf, surrounded Zhangjiazhai, and took advantage of the victory just now to seize the gate of Zhangjiazhai. The commander of Zhai Ding Zhaimin laid down the limestone, Zhang Xianzhong and others suffered dozens of casualties, and the rogues suspended their attack on Zhangjiazhai.

Zhang Jiyou, his father, Zhang Zhangfu, and the people in the village were still grieving. Zhang Xianzhong asked Ma Yuanli to escort more than 100 Zhangjiazhai prisoners first, and then came to rob the gate of the village. The first prisoner was Zhang Zhangfu's third son, Zhang Jipeng. Zhang Jipeng was half dead after being shot by several arrows. He drooped his head and let Ma Yuanli fiddle with it.

Ma Yuanli asked Zhangjiazhai to surrender immediately. Zhangjiazhai fell and more than 500 members of the village were outside the village. The whole Zhangjiazhai was full of wailing and crying. The army of the village is shaken, and the destruction of the village is imminent.

Zhai Zhang Fu sees Zhai Ding on the wall of Zhai Ding, and the people in Zhai Ding cry for brother and brother, calling for father and son. If this goes on, the village will definitely not be able to hold on. Looking at his second son, Zhang Jipeng, he just shot an arrow. Zhang Zhangfu shot Zhang Jipeng at a distance of only fifty or sixty steps. Zhang Zhangfu's arrow shot well and hit Zhang Jipeng's chest. The eyes are dead.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiyou shouted in grief and indignation and ordered to release arrows. The villagers on the wall of the village saw that the owner of the village had shot his own son to death, and they no longer cared about the children of the same villagers under the wall of the village. Bow and arrows, the rogue Ma Yuanli, who lost the backing of the captives, was shot to death and injured 60 people. Even Ma Yuanli was shot twice. Fortunately, Ma Yuanli was wearing three layers of armor, and the injuries he suffered were not Not very heavy.

Zhang Xianzhong's hostage siege failed. Facing the towering walls of Zhangjiazhai, Zhang Xianzhong, Ji San'er, Miao Dengyun, Miao Dengwu, Little Red Wolf and others looked at the village and sighed, so they had no choice but to surround Zhangjiazhai instead. Zhangjiazhai blocked the attack of Fugu rogues, and more than 100 villagers fled back one after another. Those villagers who thought their children had died in battle were ecstatic, and they also gave those who did not know the whereabouts of their relatives a line of hope. Hopefully, at the same time, Zhangjiazhai's defensive capabilities have been enhanced.

The most miserable Zhang Zhangfu, the richest man in Zhangjiazhai, his second son Zhang Jipeng was shot to death by himself, and the third son Zhang Jizhong’s head was split in two by the bandits. Only more than 100 people who came back from the cottage saw it with their own eyes. The death of the third son is certain. In the end, I still looked down on these rioting peasants with mud feet and condoned the two sons to go out to fight in the village. I was the real culprit for the death of the two sons.

This Zhang family compound is full of crying, especially the one in the backyard, Zhang Jiyou couldn't help crying. Usually, the second and third brothers born to two aunts don't show signs of being with him everywhere, and the two aunts brag about it to their father. Pillow wind, Sima Zhao's ambition to seize Zhang Jiyou's position as the heir to the village head is well known.

Now that people's hatred is gone, Zhang Jiyou doesn't hate his two younger brothers anymore. Without his two sons, his two aunts don't have the capital to make trouble. Zhang Jiyou sympathizes with his younger brother and aunt, but the most important thing is to ask his own It was at midnight that Zhang Jiyou sent three envoys to Gaojiajunzhai in Mizhi County to move the rescue soldiers. Later, Zhang Jiyou learned that only one of them arrived at the Gaojiajunzhai in Mizhi, and the other two did not find their whereabouts. It is estimated that he was intercepted and killed by Fugu bandits.

On the third day of March, Gao Guiying raised the Gaojiajunzhai to a combat-level defense, leaving [-] soldiers and villagers to defend. We met, when passing by Jiazhou refugee camp, Yan Zibin, the magistrate of Mizhi County, was waiting there. Gao Guiying looked at the corners of Yan Zibin's slightly raised mouth, and thought that this time it was Wang Jiayin, a bastard who caused trouble, and let Yan Zibin It's frustrating, and it's cheaper for the imperial court and the officials in Xi'an city.

When Yan Zibin saw Gao Guiying, he asked to praise the painting for the Gao family army. Gao Guiying could not refuse Yan Zibin and agreed that Yan Zibin would go with the army, but Gao Guiying did not let Yan Zibin go and asked: "Master Yan, have the troops from Suidezhou been dispatched yet? "

Yan Zibin knew that Zhou Shiqi and Sun Shoufa in Suide Prefecture were still standing still, so he said: "Master Zhou is preparing."

Gao Guiying said: "Master Yan, I don't know when Suide Prefecture is going to prepare to send troops."
