Chapter 43 Rescue the Ma family [Chapter 2]
Under Zhao Yuan's organization, the city walls at both ends of the East Street were quickly dismantled, and more than 5,000 strong laborers were divided into two groups, one group of more than 3,000 people, mainly composed of victims who were renovated. The other group of 2,000 people were mostly tenants from Xujiaqiao and workers from Wanjia. The biggest advantage of this distribution is to avoid victims from renovating the people of Xujiaqiao by mistake. After all, the tenants are more familiar with the locals of Xujiaqiao than those victims who were renovating the land. Even if they don't know each other, they all have a familiar face and will not kill each other.
Both groups of people had kitchen knives in their waists, carrying bamboo poles and hoes and other weapons. In order to avoid killing each other, each of them had a white towel tied to their heads. This white towel has a great effect. It not only allows them to distinguish enemies, but also keep warm and bandage the wounds...
After Zhao Yuan explained some matters, he immediately divided his troops and set out.
In fact, Zhao Yuan’s explanation was very simple, and he reminded everyone not to leave alone, not to fall off the towel on his head, and it is best to have a towel on his body.
As Zhao Yuan said, at this time, there were a small group of mobs running around Xujiaqiao Town. They broke into the door, burned, killed, looted, and the evil deep in human nature was completely released due to hunger and coldness. Xujiaqiao was full of crying and screams, and some mobs began to set fire, and many houses were burned, and the sky was filled with black smoke.
More than 2,000 strong laborers starting from the end of the East Street began to hunt down those small mobs.
Compared with the number of mobs with a population of about a few hundred, this team has an absolute advantage. They are like wolves and tigers all the way. When they see the mob, they rush up, hoes, shoulder poles, kitchen knives fly around. The mobs are just mobs that are temporarily entangled. Facing enemies that are several times more than themselves, they immediately collapse and flee in all directions.
In fact, the mob troops went to the Ma family, and there were not many mobs who stayed in Xujiaqiao to burn, kill and loot. After all, in the complex alleys of Xujiaqiao, it is not suitable for thousands of people to attack. Of course, the most important thing is that the mobs all know that ordinary people cannot have much food at home, and it is not enough for thousands of people to get stuck in the teeth.
The speed of advancement is very fast.
The leader was Zhu Dapao. Zhu Dapao was a clever man. After seeing some mobs dispersed, they were dispersed and vulnerable. In order to increase efficiency, they sent more than 2,000 people to four groups, one for every 500 people, and began to advance quickly and gathered at the bridgehead of Xujiaqiao at the end of West Street.
At this time, the people of the Wan family were already red in their eyes. Whenever they saw the ragged and suspicious people, they immediately rushed forward, and knives and sticks were used to kill countless mobs. The streets and alleys of Xujiaqiao were like hell, with incomplete corpses everywhere, and the dry blood coagulated into ice, which was shocking.
The large mobs that were roaming in Xujiaqiao Town were quickly dispersed, and some of the mobs could not cause any storms and began to flee in the wilderness. At the same time, the locals of Xujiaqiao began to organize their resistance and pursued and intercepted the mobs in the alleyways.
In just less than two hours, the situation of the arrogant mob took a sharp turn for the worse and became a rat crossing the street.
Soon, everyone rushed to the head of Xujiaqiao Bridge on West Street to meet. The Xiaojia Brothel, the iconic Xujia Bridge building standing beside Hedong Bridge, had been swallowed by the fire. Dozens of ladies in tattered clothes hugged in the cold wind, trembling and crying.
Mr. Xiao was standing in front of the burning brothel with a dull face, dazed, but suddenly saw a large group of people coming over again. He was so scared that he was about to jump into the river with his head in his arms. He was pulled by a group of bodyguards. After looking closely, he saw some familiar faces and breathed a sigh of relief...
Looking around, I saw thick smoke rolling over the Ma family in Hexi, and endless shouts of killing came.
"Brothers, kill!" Chef Luo stood at the bridge, shouting with two sharp butcher knives.
"Kill!" Guo Axe raised the iron axe and responded.
More than two thousand strong men raised their arms and shouted at the same time.
Just now, everyone was chasing a small group of mobs as they were unstoppable. The morale was very strong. Under the strong voices of Chef Luo and Guo Axe, they were all excited. They raised their weapons and shouted "kill" all the way, killing them towards the west of the bridge like a tide...
Ma's family.
The Ma family moved to Xujiaqiao more than 200 years ago. Through years of hard work, it finally became the largest household in Xujiaqiao. Today, the Ma family has ushered in the biggest disaster in the past two hundred years.
Thousands of mobs rushed over like a tide.
In fact, when a mob marched towards Xu Jiaqiao, the Ma family had already received the news, but when the Ma family learned the news, it was too late.
Of course, the Ma family is still prepared. The Ma family is already prosperous and has a large group of servants. With temporary mobilization, there are nearly a thousand people from all over the country.
Unfortunately, the Ma family compound was completely invaded before half an hour had been supported by a thousand people.
Thousands of mobs flocked into the Ma family, smashed those who could not move away, burned those who could not be smashed, and the valuable things that were valuable were robbed, and the granary was even more messy. The hungry mobs carried them on their shoulders and carried them with all kinds of tools...
Zhao Yuan did not participate in the battle. He was with Chen and directed the battle.
Beside the two, there were more than 200 strong tenants. All of these workers were carefully selected by Zhu Dapao. They were tall and strong, and they were absolutely loyal to the Wan family. Some tenants followed the Wan family for generations.
In addition to being strong and strong, the configurations of these 200 workers are also very luxurious, and they are all powerful weapons for killing. In addition to long swords and sharp swords, there are even more than a dozen crossbows.
After confirming that Xu Jiaqiao was safe, Zhao Yuancai and Chen walked out of the Wanjia Courtyard.
Surrounded by two hundred strong men, Zhao Yuan and Chen came to the bridge and saw the Xiao family's frown.
Chen walked over and comforted him for a few words. Mr. Xiao followed him to visit Wanjia.
Standing on the arch bridge from a distance, you can see that the battle of Wanjia should be coming to an end, because some of the burning fires have been extinguished and turned into thick smoke. In the wilderness around Wanjia, the mountains and fields are filled with fleeing mobs and the workers chasing Wanjia. From a distance, they are in full swing.
Zhao Yuan did not participate in the battle directly. He did not speak out from beginning to end, and followed Chen down. He did not want to attract other people's attention.
Along the way, Mr. Xiao thanked Chen for his gratitude.
It turned out that a small mob hit the brothel of the Xiao family. In the chaos, the third son of the Xiao family was killed, and several other sons were injured and some servants and prostitutes died. Then, the brothel was set on fire. In a panic, the chaos, the Wanjia rescued more than 3,000 people from the Ma family. The mob immediately collapsed and fled in all directions.
Although the Xiao family died and the brothel was destroyed, most of the family members survived, which was a blessing in disgrace.
If the reinforcements from Wanjia had not arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
After crossing the bridge, small mobs who were dispersed would occasionally meet them. However, facing the strong men with two hundred uniform clothing, the mobs would scatter away and not entangle with them.
In fact, at this time, people from the Ma family were chasing the mobs who were scattered and fleeing their lives. The mobs had been dispersed and had no power to resist at all. They all hated their parents for having less legs...
Soon, the group arrived at Ma's house.
The tall wall of the Ma family that stretched for hundreds of meters had been pushed up, the door was knocked down, and bricks, rubble and some scattered weapons were everywhere at the door, which was a mess.
After entering the Ma family compound, the miserable scene was even more terrible. The pavilions and pavilions were destroyed, the main buildings were riddled with holes, some buildings were still emitting thick smoke, and some servants were carrying water to put out the fire.
In the middle of the yard, there were at least hundreds of corpses. Under a roof, there were wounded people, and the wailing screams kept coming to my ears, as if he was hell on earth...
Ma Junwu sat on the threshold in a daze, as if he was ten years old. In front of him, a corpse was lying, covered with snow-white bed sheets. The curves faintly exposed from outside the bed sheets showed that the body was a female and naked.
