Chapter 174 Killer Team
The area of Laohugang ten miles west of Shangrao County is covered with bushes, and there is still snow in the low-lying area. At midnight, the cold moon slanted westward, and the cold moonlight was forced by the fire on the ground, so it could not be soaked. Zeng Yu led his mount, black bean, followed the old man Jia, and walked towards the northwest. He could hear the sound of bows and arrows and bird guns in his ears, and there were various screams and shouts, but he had not heard the sound of close soldiers.
Seeing that there was no one around, Zeng Yu asked the old man: "Old Jun's surname?"
Old Man A said, "I don't know the surname is Liao." Old Man B called him Lao Liao, but his surname was Liao.
Zeng Yu asked, "General Qi——", before he finished a sentence, he suddenly saw a man emerge from the bushes and called out, "Old Liao, Lao Liao——Xiong Gong, please come here." When he looked closely, he was Old Man B, and he also had a round rattan in his hand. Now all the old man A and B are here.
Zeng Yu asked Old Man Yi where the hostages who were porters were. Old Man Yi pointed southwest: "It's still in Sow Ridge, and the thieves' carriages are there, and I just came from there."
Zeng Yu knew that Zheng Shi and Lai Fu and the others were walking with the carriage and porter. Jiaxing merchant Yuan Zhong was also there, so he said, "Please take me there, my cousin Zheng Xiucai is still there."
Old Man A advised: "Mr. Zeng, let's go first, your cousin won't have any trouble."
Old Man Yi said: "Mr. Zeng Hunter, through this miscellaneous forest, Lord Qi's Fijian Killer Team will be the one who will be able to save people. If Zeng Hunter wants to ask the killer team to take action, it is safest to ask the killer team to take action."
When Zeng Yu heard that Qi Jiguang was responding to the camp, he hurriedly said, "Then go quickly, go quickly."
Before he could take a few steps, someone shouted, "Mr. Zeng, Military Advisor Zeng" and chased after him, but it was Peng Laoqiu. The ghostly guy's eyes were pointed. He found Zeng Yu in such a messy environment. He chased him and asked in horror with a look of fear: "Mr. Zeng, what should we do? Where can we escape?"
In Qianshan, Peng Laoqiu heard that Wu Ping's bandits arrived and was excited. He thought that it was time to be happy and loved and eat delicious food and drink spicy food. No one cared about it. After joining the gang, he was not so happy because he was bullied by old bandits. However, it was really powerful in Pengjia Village. He led the bandits to rob the rich households in the village and even killed his brothers. The elders in the village did not dare to be angry or speak out when they saw him. But the scene tonight was something he had never dreamed of. He had only seen thieves eating meat and never seen thieves being beaten. This was not just being beaten.
He died immediately. He thought Zeng Yu followed Wu Ping to Tiger Hill, so he chased him. He couldn't find Zeng Yu, but saw a bandit who was smashed by a bird gun. Half of his face was howling. Another person who was caught in an arrow fell to the ground and twitched. Peng Laoqiu was so scared that he rolled down from Tiger Hill. He was a gang to share the property of the rich and rich gentry and women. He was not here to die. Zeng Xiucai was resourceful and could not be wrong to follow Zeng Yu. He asked Zeng Xiucai where he was, and he actually found him-
Zeng Yu hates people like Peng Laoqiu. Although Peng Laoqiu flatters him and works hard to run errands, he will never think that such people who are tempted by the tendency to be close to him and said, "Don't call me a military advisor, I am a bullshit military advisor. Everyone is robbing property to be ready to run away. What do you do with me? Go away quickly, leave quickly."
Peng Laoqiu said with a sad face: "I can't steal them. They have a knife, and I only have a wooden stick." He raised the stick in his hand, which was used by walking on the night road to explore the way.
Zeng Yu said: "Don't follow me, it's important for everyone to run away from their own lives."
Peng Laoqiu saw the two old men leading the way following Zeng Yu, holding a round rattan card in their hands. Although he felt strange, he was not suspicious and said, "Mr. Zeng, my old Peng is only following you." Peng Laoqiu really has nowhere to go, so he dared not go back to Pengjia Village. When the people in Pengjia Village saw him, they had to cut him into pieces.
Old Man Jia asked, "Grandpa Zeng, do you want him to follow?" Seeing Zeng Yu shook his head, the old man suddenly flew up and kicked Peng Laoqiu in the chest. The kick was so fast that it was so fierce that Peng Laoqiu screamed in pain, and then fell down after looking at it. Old Man Jia said, "Grandpa Zeng, go quickly", and led the black bean bridle into the bushes.
Zeng Yu quickly followed, and was amazed in his heart. Old Liao looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, dark and thin, but looking at his quick-thread leg just now, Zeng Yu thought he was not as good as Qi's boxing. Is this Qi's boxing?
In the dark night, he was suddenly surrounded by officers and soldiers. Except for the more than a thousand fierce bandits led by Wu Ping, the other bandits were still stubbornly resisting, and the bandits who had snatched the property and those who had not snatched the property were fleeing in all directions. Dozens of bandits ran to Zeng Yu and kept passing by Zeng Yu and Old Man A and B. Two of them wanted to steal Zeng Yu's mount, Black Bean. Before Zeng Yu took action, Old Man A pulled out a short knife from the rattan shield, stabbed the two bandits to death with one sword and one by one. The rest of the bandits did not dare to approach. Fortunately, there were chaotic mountains and trees in the northwest and there was no road, so they could not ride a horse to escape, so there were no bandits to seize the horse again.
Zeng Yu followed the old man A and B, stepping on dead branches, leaves and snow and walking for more than two miles in the bushes. Zeng Yu's hands and face were wiped out by the branches, and suddenly he heard Old Man B say "On there". When he looked up, he saw a large bamboo slowly rising dozens of feet away, and a small lantern hung on the bamboo tips.
Old Man B ran over first, Zeng Yu followed Old Man A and then arrived. Han Yue shone in a slanted light. Zeng Yu saw the reorganized killer team of Qi's army's infantry camp, including the team's general and fire soldiers, including two rattan players, wolves, spearmen, handlers, and big stickers. This organization and weapon configuration are targeted preparations for the Japanese pirates' combat characteristics. They are extremely powerful when fighting in close combat. The bandit leader Wu Ping is a remnant of the pirates, and Qi Jiguang used the method of dealing with Japanese pirates to deal with Wu Ping's thieves.
The team holding a flag gun always came up and bowed, "Is it Zeng Xianggong? It's so amazing. Let's leave here and go back to the camp."
Zeng Yu returned the favor and said, "Thank you, the team leader. I'll ask first. Are the people in the four suburbs of Shangrao County evacuated?" His mother and younger sister lived outside the north gate. The bandit leader Wang Er led his troops to attack the west gate of Shangrao City, but he would inevitably rush to the north gate to rob. The newly built house was only half a mile away from the north gate, and it was very convenient to enter the city. However, no one took care of his kind mother and young sister, he was still a little worried. He was not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of anything.
The team general said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zeng, Lingtang and his little one will live in the Guangxin Prefect's Office this afternoon, and there will be no mistakes."
Zeng Yu was very happy and said, "My cousin is still unknown. More than 100 other people were forced to act as hostages by the thieves. Please lead the team to rescue them, so that they will die innocently in the chaos."
The team was always very righteous and agreed immediately.
The old man A and B said he wanted to escort Zeng Yu back to the city. Zeng Yu said: "It was dark at this time, and there was a chaotic place outside the city. It was not safe for me to return to the city. It would be better to go together to save my cousin and the hostages."
This squadron killer team, along with Zeng Yu and the old men of A and B, has been moving towards the direction of Sow Ridge. On the way, they encountered fleeing bandits and killed them when they were fleeing. They did not chase after them when they were fleeing. Zeng Yu heard the general saying that General Qi led 3,000 elite troops to Shangrao two days ago. The 7,000-buoy camp arrived this afternoon. The bandits came just in front of them. There was a high Shangrao City and the surging Xinjiang River on the right. This area of barren mountains and wild ridges is difficult to escape, and all the bandits must be wiped out here.
Halfway through the journey, I encountered a team of firearms, and there were twelve people, equipped with bird guns and long swords, with armor on the protection, and bird guns from afar. If the enemy rushed to the front, he would use a long sword to kill the enemy. Qi Jiguang's Infantry Battalion Killer Team and Firearms Team are teams that can fight alone. When the two armies are fighting, most of them may be dispersed. Then, the team will be used as the organization to kill the enemy. This is most effective against Japanese pirates who are used to small tides, especially the killer team with cold weapons, which has strong self-protection and attack power.
The firearm team formed a formation of attacks from far to near. At this time, the two teams went to Sow Ridge to rescue hostages. Along the way, bandits running around like headless flies could be seen everywhere. They didn't dare to fight when they saw the officers and soldiers fleeing. They successfully arrived at the eastern foot of Sow Ridge. Hundreds of carriages were lying quietly in the wild, and the mules and horses were gone. Some cars were overturned to the ground, and silk cloth was scattered all over the ground, and all the people seemed to have been exposed. Firearm shooting and fighting in the distance kept coming-
Zeng Yu shouted: "Brother Shi, brother Shi——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
After shouting around for a few times, he saw a man standing up from a overturned carriage not far away, and said in surprise: "Is it my husband? My husband--"
People couldn't see clearly, and the sound seemed to be Yuan Zhong, a Jiaxing merchant. Zeng Yu strode away and asked loudly, "Is it Yuan Laoke? Did you see my cousin, Xiucai Zheng, master and servant?"
As soon as these words came out, a figure suddenly appeared around the vehicles, tall and short, as cold as a ghost. The killer team's general immediately shouted: "Zeng Xianggong, don't go there." The old man A and B quickly protected Zeng Yu on both sides, and the firearms team's bird gun was ready to shoot.
Lai Fu shouted in his voice: "Mr. Zeng, Mr. Zeng, have all the bandits run away?"
Then he heard Zheng Shi's voice: "Jiuli, I'm fine, but the donkey was taken away."
Zeng Yuxi said: "As long as people are fine, it's fine." He said to the two teams: "These are hostages. The bandits have run away. See where they are safe and take them away quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the noise of Sow Ridge and the sound of close soldiers. The killer team knew the arrangements for suppressing the thieves and said, "This is a bandit who fled westward, who was blocked by Lord Zhang, and retreated. Be careful and move these vehicles together to prevent the thieves from killing and injuring them."
Zeng Yu, together with the soldiers and hostages, moved more than 20 carriages together to form a large circle. The hostages sat on the ground in the carriage defense circle, and the two teams of Qi's army were ready.
The bandits were running around the mountains and fields, and some were riding horses, most of them walking. The fast-escaped bandits were only about fifty feet away from Zeng Yu. The firearms team always thought that when the bandits who were rushing to the front had entered the forty feet, they raised the gun flag in their hands and shouted "ignite". Ten bird guns lit the fuse together to shoot, and two bandits riding horses fell to the ground.
The sudden sound of bird guns and the large smoke terrified the fleeing bandits. In the dusk night, there were many officers and soldiers here, so they dared not run forward any further. But the pursuers behind were in a hurry. The bandits turned to the direction of Xinjiang. The bandits were all burdened, except for some riding horses, and others could not escape quickly. Zeng Yu's side of the camp rushed out over the carriage, chopping and killing all the way, cutting and cutting off their heads to seek credit. Zhang Guerrilla under Qi Jiguang led 500 straits to drive thousands of bandits to the north bank of Xinjiang. Many bandits ignored the cold river water in the cold winter and wanted to jump over the river to swim and escape, but they were wrapped in gold, silver and treasures. They could swim across the river in this biting river. A few swam back, most of them drowned in the Xinjiang River. Others had no way to escape, and they knelt down and surrendered.
The full moon slanted westward hid in the clouds, and the sky was dark. Zeng Yu and Zheng Shi squatted behind a carriage and listened to the sound of bird guns and fighting on all sides. Zheng Shi said: "This group of bandits will be wiped out now. Fortunately, most of these hostages saved their lives. The bandits killed and injured several people when they robbed the property in the carriage."
Zeng Yu said: "Bandit leader Wu Ping is fierce. Since he has not retreated, he should have wanted to break through the border with Yongfeng."
The captain of the firearms team on the side smiled and said, "General Qi has already set up a net of heaven and earth, and even if he disciplines a bandit, he can't escape."
There were more than 100 hostages here, and there were only twelve officers and soldiers in the firearm team. They were not able to escort back to the city, so they could only wait on the spot. After about an hour, Zhang Guerrilla led 500 soldiers to escort more than 3,000 surrendered bandits. The bandits' weapons had been confiscated, and the stolen property was still there, so they were asked to carry them to the camp in the north of the city on their backs. Zeng Zhengshi and others followed them together.
