Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 18
"Don't count on it. If it was a thief, the arresters would have arrived long ago. It involves mobilizing troops to suppress the bandits. The soldiers in Cangzhou Prefecture have not been paid for three or four months. It is usually no problem, but they must be dispatched before going to war." For the salary, this is called the departure fee. Even if the transfer of five hundred officers and soldiers costs at least a few thousand taels, do you think the prefect will send troops for a small fishing village? And it is said that the prefect will return when his term of office expires. It's Beijing." Chai Jin said.

Zhang Han was speechless, and he was not a relative of the prefect. It seemed that the officers and soldiers were hopeless.

The bandits who died in battle found a pit and buried them together. As for the villagers, their families were buried and sent back. In troubled times, life is as cheap as grass.

When Chai Jin and others came to the village, there were three yards in the courtyard of Zhang Han's house, and there were also dozens of houses. In the fierce battle just now, none of the thirteen cavalrymen were injured, but the blood stains were unavoidable.The Zhuang Ding of the Zhang family fetched water for everyone to take a bath and changed their clothes. It was getting dark gradually.

Zhang Han set up a banquet in the courtyard to entertain everyone.Since they are still on duty outside, not many people come, Zhang Han, Chai Xin and others.

In the villages near the sea, the food is very different from Chaijiazhuang. There are pots of Pipi shrimp and swimming crabs boiled in clear water.When a jar of sorghum rice wine was served, Wu Song saw that the throat of the wine was moving, and all the guards wanted to drink too.

Chai Jin said: "Everyone should drink less, the bandits didn't hurt the root cause today, I'm afraid they will make a comeback tomorrow."

"Brother, don't worry, if Wu Song drinks one part of wine, he will have one point of strength, and if he drinks two parts of wine, he will have two points of strength. If he is drunk, he will exert a lot of strength. By then, I will be able to fight a hundred bandits by myself. " Wu Song said.

Zhang Handao: "All the brothers who came to rescue my Haijiazhuang are all benefactors of my Haijiazhuang. Come, let's make this bowl together."

"Do it, do it." Everyone raised their heads and drank a bowl of wine.This year's wine is relatively cloudy and the alcohol content is not high.Chai Jin couldn't drink it, but Wu Song and others liked it.

Chai Jin tore open the swimming crab, it was full of ointment, but it was pure natural and pollution-free.Pippi shrimp is also thick and ruthless, but it is more troublesome to get the shell.

When Wu Song ate crabs, he felt that there was not much meat, and when he ate Pipi shrimp, he felt that there were too many shells.Chai Jin introduced: "Brother Erlang, you can eat that prawn, which has a lot of meat."

Wu Song said: "Whatever is meat or not, as long as there is wine to drink. Come on, let's do it."

Chai Xin said: "I have already considered that you are not used to seafood, stewed a few big geese, and it will be ready soon."

Everyone was overjoyed: "That's good. Although this seafood is delicious, it's either the shell or the thorn. It's too laborious."

After a while, two servants brought up a large iron pot of goose meat, which was stewed deliciously.They are not particular about people, just eat with chopsticks.

After drinking for an hour, Chai Jin, Wu Song, Chai Yong, and ten other guards drank all over the place, especially Wu Song, who was so drunk, the four of them had to be carried down.

In the dark, a man dressed as Zhuang Ding saw no one around, and secretly opened the corner door in the backyard.After leaving the big yard of the Zhang family, he came to the street and looked at the south gate of the village. There were only four people warming up by the fire, each of them drowsy.The man was very agile, he found a wall, took two steps, put his hands on the wall of the footstool, swished onto the wall, and disappeared into the darkness very quickly.

Zhang Han put on his leather armor, took a simple knife, and led a dozen elite Zhuang Ding to patrol back and forth to ensure safety.

There was nothing to do in the first half of the night, and it gradually came to the second half of the night. The second half of the night was the most difficult, especially after a fierce battle during the day, I was tired.

Zhang Han went back to rest.Zhuang Ding at the south gate was cold and hungry, and scolded: "Bandit, bandit, where did the bandit come from? The bandit has been beaten away during the day, so why would he dare to come here? If you don't guard, go to sleep. Anyway, at the gate With two dogs, the enemy will soon know when he comes."

There were only four people in total, one left, and the other three went to sleep in the hut next to it. There were only two big yellow dogs guarding the gate.

When Chou was ugly, the earth seemed to be in a deep sleep, and even the two big yellow dogs were already in a daze.Suddenly there were two slaps, and the big yellow dog was about to bark, but suddenly found that it was a meat bone. You and I ate a piece, and the two dogs ate it separately.As soon as the meat was eaten, the two dogs foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground.A man in black climbed over the wall and gently opened the heavy door.

There are not many bandits in the back, and Guo Shanlong personally leads the team, the number is not many, about 150 elites.

"Rush for me, kill in." Guo Shanlong roared.

With this loud roar, suddenly the doors on both sides of the street opened wide, and hot oil was poured over from crocks and porcelain pots, which turned out to be boiling tung oil.There are seven NO.80 who were splashed with oil, dancing in the fire one by one.The air was filled with an unpleasant temperature, and the screams were terrifying.

Guoshanlong has too much experience, and immediately led the team to retreat when he saw something was wrong.The torches rained down, and the bandit turned into a burning man.Those who didn't catch fire rushed towards the gate of the villa, trying to escape, but it was too late.The gate of the village was sealed, and thirteen men in black appeared at the door wearing terrifying masks, each holding a precious sword that cut iron like mud.

"Brothers, kill, we will die if we don't get out." Guo Shanlong roared, commanding everyone to rush forward.

At the gate, Chai Jin, Wu Song and others were chopping melons and vegetables with horizontal knives.As the oil fire was extinguished, Zhang Han rushed up with the Zhuang Dingmen. In less than a moment, there was not even a living bandit in the village.

"Guoshanlong ran away, that kid is too cunning, he just jumped over the wall and ran away during the scuffle." Chai Jin said.

It turned out that the drunkenness yesterday evening was just a performance. Chai Jin knew that there must be spies of bandits in Dingzhuang, so they got drunk on purpose and asked the spies to report back.The bandits feared nothing more than the thirteen iron-masked cavalry, and now that the thirteen were drunk, they had nothing to fear, so they attacked overnight.Unexpectedly, in the middle of Chai Jin's plan, the elite army that came in was wiped out, and only Shanlong escaped.

Chai Xin's jaw almost dropped in shock, and he said, "I said brother, where did you learn the art of war? Why don't I know."

Zhang Han also said: "That's right, this art of war is too powerful, it's amazing."

Chai Jin said: "I said that I learned the art of war from a storyteller, do you believe it? Even when catching pheasants and rabbits, I also use the art of war."

"I believe you, you bastard, you are full of nonsense. There are too many people who have heard of books, and I haven't seen anyone who understands the art of war." Chai Xin said.

"Believe it or not, I learned it from the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms and various history books. It's always right to read more if you have nothing to do." Chai Jin said.

"That's about the same. I've always seen you do it since I was a child. I didn't expect you to be really good at it." Chai Xin said.

Chai Jin said: "Come on, don't praise me. Brother-in-law, Guoshanlong has suffered a great loss and will not come again. You arrange people to be on duty, and we will go back to sleep again."

Saying that, Chai Jin yawned and went back to his room to sleep.

Just as Chai Jin expected, the bandit never came to make trouble again, it seemed that he was really scared out of his wits.They slept until it was time for breakfast to get up.
