Liyang, school field.
"rush!!"
Dugujie gave the order and the war drums sounded. The county soldiers raised the ladders in their hands and, under the protection of the shield bearers, rushed forward. When they arrived outside a high wall, the county soldiers began to set up the ladders and the shield hands raised their hands naturally.
Pick up the shield and start climbing.
On the edge of the fence in the distance, there are several soldiers' heads hanging.
Liyang's six teams of county soldiers now have different training subjects for each team, and they are training separately in various places.
Du Gujie walked back and forth among the teams, urging them to practice.
There were loud shouts of killing in the school grounds. That is to say, the school grounds are located far away from residential buildings, so there was no disturbance to the residents.
Compared with their initial state, the county soldiers have indeed undergone earth-shaking changes. They are no longer as idle as they used to be. They carry the ladder and charge again and again. They really have some momentum and look presentable.
Even standing here, they stood upright, looking excited and excited, not as half-dead as before.
When Liu Taozi rode a blue lion and led everyone to appear at the gate of the school ground, Dugujie went to greet him very excitedly.
Dugujie quickly walked up to Liu Taozi and bowed before him, "Mr. Liu!!"
Liu Taozi nodded, and then looked at the county soldiers in front who were practicing.
At this moment, they can finally be called soldiers. They are all wearing new military uniforms and have complete weapons. All of them are wearing light armor, and they can tell the difference between officers and soldiers at a glance.
Dugujie stood beside Taozi with his hands on his hips, turned around and looked at everyone, proudly preparing to show the results to Taozi.
"gather!!"
He gave the order, and immediately the soldiers raised the flag and beat the war drum, the sound was short and loud.
The sound of war drums sounded, and everyone who was practicing quickly stopped and began to look for the location of the general's flag and war drums. After finding the target, the captain quickly rectified his soldiers and started running towards this side.
The speed of the gathering was not too fast. The captain yelled and cursed loudly. The soldiers ran swaying. Occasionally they bumped into the people in front of them and were whipped by the captain several times. The voices of the captains echoed each other, which was extremely chaotic.
After a moment of noise, the six teams finally slowly lined up in front of Liu Taozi and others. It couldn't be said to be very neat, but it could be seen that it was a formation.
Dugujie's face was very ugly at this moment, and he no longer had the pride he had just now.
He glanced at Liu Taozi, his face a little embarrassed, "It wasn't like this before, the gathering was very fast, but this time we changed positions and gave the order suddenly."
"Dugu Gong, there is no need to say more."
"They could kill someone?"
"If I can kill, I specially found the death row inmates who participated in the rebellion before and ordered them to be executed. They have all seen their blood."
Liu Taozi nodded.
"To be able to train them to this point within ten days, Dugu Gong is really a talented person."
Hearing Liu Taozi's words, Dugujie really had mixed feelings in his heart. Since leaving the army, he had not heard such praise for many years, and he had taken a lot of blame.
Liu Taozi stepped forward and looked at the army in front of him.
"I am the county magistrate Liu Taozi!!"
"I also asked Dugu Gong to train you!!!"
Liu Taozi's voice was so loud that Dugujie couldn't help but look at him a few more times. It was a pity that such a voice could not be used as a messenger.
The county soldiers looked at the tall and strong man on the horse and looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.
Liu Taozi looked at everyone, "Practice troops for a thousand days, use them for a moment!!"
"Everyone has been practicing for ten days, and today is the time to see results!!"
"Today I will personally lead the army to suppress the rebellion! If it succeeds, it will prove that the county soldiers are still useful! From now on, two meals a day, winter clothes and weapons will be distributed just like these ten days!!"
"If things don't work out, don't practice again, just like the past story!!"
The county soldiers were immediately in an uproar. They exchanged looks and started talking in low voices. Dugujie also frowned. When Liu Taozi asked him to counter the rebellion, he knew it must be for some important matter. Now he said he wanted to counter the rebellion.
, but what kind of rebellion are we going to put down?
Liu Taozi looked at Dugujie, who took out Lou Rui's handwriting.
"Here is this handwritten letter from the prefect, ordering me to take charge of the political and military affairs in Liyang!!"
"Where is Lieutenant Dugujie?!"
"The end is here!!"
"I want you to help me lead the army and go to Chongguang Temple immediately! The thieves and monks in Chongguang Temple secretly forged armor, made bows and crossbows, set up banners, bought drums and gold, and deceived the ignorant people by saying: The dead of the tallest are in black!!"
"The evidence is conclusive! There is no doubt that the intention is to rebel! Send troops immediately to defeat it!!"
If the person standing in front of him was Zhao Kai, he would definitely ask, but this person was Dugu Jie. After hearing the military order, he instinctively did not refute or question. He just coldly performed a military salute and said, "General.
Follow orders!!"
He looked at the people behind him and said, "March in formation!! Set off one by one!!"
The county soldiers had no idea what was going on. They quickly lined up according to the drills of the past few days. On Dugujie, they began to loudly issue various orders. One by one, they went out from the gate of the school field to ride on the Dugujie.
He got on the big horse and was directing them to move forward.
Yao Xiong was very excited. He tightened his grip on the handle of the knife and said, "Brother!! Please be the pioneer!!"
"You can board with me later!"
"only!!"
Tian Zili looked confused, and said quickly: "Brother, is it true that the prefect asked you to quell the rebellion??"
Liu Taozi glanced at him, but he didn't say anything, but Tian Zili knew everything, but he was not afraid. He suddenly laughed and pulled out the knife ferociously, "Who cares about that! Today we will do it
Follow my brother to ascend first and kill these evil monks!!!"
Marching is indeed not a simple matter. After these county soldiers left the school field, the formation once again became chaotic. Liu Taozi was driving in the middle of the team, but Dugujie had to run back and forth to ensure that the people in front did not run too fast.
Those behind can keep up.
Dugujie seemed to have returned to the time when he first started training the army. He became extremely irritable and yelled, and the county soldiers marched in the direction of Chongguang Temple in a chaotic manner.
Along the way, the people in the city were so frightened that they hid in their houses and did not dare to go out.
The entire main road became very empty. The county soldiers passed through Nancheng and finally arrived in front of Chongguang Temple.
Chongguang Temple is backed by the city wall, with tall walls on three sides. At this moment, Chongguang Temple is still as quiet and deserted as before.
"Dugujie! You send people to surround the entire Chongguang Temple. If you let one person escape, you will be punished by military law!!"
"only!!"
"Li Sheng, you take teams A and B to the left!"
"Zhao Sanlang! You take Team C and Team D to the right side!!"
“Don’t let anyone run away!!”
Dugujie issued an order, leaving the county soldiers of the Wu and Ji teams at the front.
The movement outside finally aroused the alert of Chongguang Temple. Someone climbed up the wall of the courtyard and said, "Mr. Liu!! What do you want to do?!"
Liu Taozi was unmoved. He slowly dismounted. Yao Xiong immediately ran over with his armor and put on the armor for Liu Taozi himself. This armor was really good and looked very thick and strong. Dugu Jie could tell that this was
Armor only owned by the knights in the prefect's family.
Liu Taozi put on his heavy armor, and then took out his Huajing sword. He raised the sword and slowly pointed it at Chongguang Temple in front of him.
"attack!!!"
The heavy drums sounded and the flag was raised. At this moment, the county soldiers carried the ladder and rushed towards the courtyard wall in front of them.
Monk Hu saw the scene in front of him and screamed in fright.
Soon, a large number of warrior monks appeared on the courtyard wall. They stood on the courtyard wall at a loss and just shouted.
These monks were trained to bully the people, not to fight against officers and soldiers, and they had never had any experience in defending a city. They never thought that someone would stage a siege for them.
One after another, the ladders were leaning against the courtyard wall, and even higher than the courtyard wall. The county soldiers clung to the ladders, but this courtyard wall was different from the wall they used for training, or they did not control their center of gravity.
, the ladder suddenly fell sideways, and the county soldier struggled to hold it on, but failed, and the ladder next door was knocked over as well.
Before the two sides even fought, the county soldiers had already suffered casualties.
Dugujie's old face was dark, and now he was roaring hysterically, "Hold up! How did I teach you?!"
The sword and shield hand held a large shield and began to climb.
The man with the sword and shield was crawling when he suddenly stepped on the air and fell directly from the top.
There were more casualties.
Fortunately, their opponents are not elite.
Several monks were struggling to push away the ladder. I don't know if they were pushing in the wrong direction or something. They missed and screamed and fell from the courtyard wall. They fell in front of the county soldiers and could no longer move.
There was also a monk who was about to pick up something and throw it down, but he pushed his companion down with an elbow.
The two sides haven't even fought yet, but they have already suffered casualties.
Finally, some county soldiers climbed up the courtyard wall. A few monks emboldened themselves, raised their wooden sticks, and smashed them. The county soldiers were soon beaten with blood on their heads and fell from the courtyard wall. People on three sides heard it.
The sound of fighting.
Liu Taozi looked at the people around him. Yao Xiong, Tian Zili and others were all wearing armor at the moment, looking particularly extraordinary.
Liu Taozi rushed towards the courtyard wall personally, and the others hurriedly followed.
Liu Taozi climbed the ladder. His speed was not slow. He was much faster than Yao Xiong and others. Without the heavy armor on his body, I don't know how fast he could be.
In just a moment, Liu Taozi stood on the wall. He pushed away the two county soldiers in front of him. The Huajing sword flashed with cold light in his hand. With the sound of breaking through the air, the two heads flew up suddenly.
The head's body spurted blood and fell heavily. Liu Taozi threw herself into the monks, slashing left and right.
Liu Taozi, who fought on foot, was more ferocious than those who fought on horseback. He was like a fierce tiger rushing into the sheep. Monks fell one after another in front of him. He rushed over so fiercely that he actually cut through the crowd.
After fighting a bloody path, the monks howled and fell continuously from both sides of Taozi. The morale of the county soldiers was greatly boosted. They roared and rushed up after Taozi. Three walls of the courtyard were occupied by the county soldiers.
The monks began to retreat.
The Hu monk in the distance was still shouting, "We are protected by the Queen Mother! We are protected by the Queen Mother!!"
"Whoosh!"
I don't know who shot the arrow, and Monk Hu fell immediately.
For the county soldiers, the Queen Mother was too far away, but the broth they could eat every day was very close.
Liu Taozi and others drove the monks off the courtyard wall, and then opened the door. Dugujie walked in from the main entrance with his war horse. Everyone got on their horses again and started chasing them.
Dugujie divided the army into three groups. One group was responsible for guarding the courtyard to guard against anyone escaping, another group was responsible for chasing and killing, and the last group was responsible for responding.
The monks had completely lost their fighting spirit at this moment. Liu Taozi rode on the blue lion and started to chase them everywhere. The whole Chongguang Temple was filled with shouts of killing and blood was everywhere. Liu Taozi led more than ten riders and fought all the way from the main entrance.
In the main hall, other teams also attacked in various directions. People everywhere were exclaiming, crying, begging for mercy, and cursing, but no one was chanting.
The normally arrogant evil monk fell to the ground and turned around, crying and begging. He was faced with a ruthless knife, which slashed at his body, causing several screams.
The evil monks were hiding and running for their lives, with no intention of resisting. Faced with the organized county soldiers, running away like this would only cost their lives and would have no effect.
Liu Taozi rode a war horse and charged back and forth in Chongguang Temple five or six times. The green lion was a little tired and seemed to be panting. Liu Taozi had already become a bloody man. Yao Xiong and others were not much better. Everyone was exhausted.
It's a 'demon' covered in blood.
They fought their way back to the main hall again. Looking around, there were corpses everywhere. Chongguang Temple had the most complete drainage ditch. Therefore, the place was once again filled with rivers of blood like Nancheng.
Liu Taozi frowned and looked at Dugujie, who was running in the distance, "How is it? Have you found it?"
Dugujie said with a straight face, "I haven't found it yet. There is no resistance in Chongguang Temple. It's just the abbot and his cronies who are hiding somewhere. They can't be found at all."
Liu Taozi narrowed her eyes and said secretly.
Dugujie was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what he thought of, and his whole body became irritable. "I hate secret tunnels the most. I'm going to find them right now!!"
Dugujie turned around and left.
Liu Taozi looked around with vigilance. He rode forward and came to the Buddha statues in the main hall. Suddenly, Liu Taozi jumped off his horse. He walked forward and looked at the huge Buddha statues in front of him. He walked along the Buddha statues.
After turning around a few times, he came to the back of the Buddha statue. He could vaguely see the cracks. Tao Zi gently tapped various parts of the Buddha statue with his hands. Suddenly.
“Bang!!”
Liu Taozi punched, and a dent appeared directly on the Buddha statue in front of him. Everyone was shocked. Liu Taozi hit it hard, and it turned out that there was a secret door directly behind the Buddha statue. At this time, Taozi hit it hard.
open.
After the secret door, you can see a corridor leading underground, with torches hung on both sides and burning.
"Someone is coming!! Here!!"
Tian Zili shouted.
Liu Taozi jumped down, and everyone followed her.
A stench rushed into the tunnel, causing everyone to cover their mouths and noses. The torches on both sides were swaying, and the tunnel was not clearly illuminated. Reinforcement measures were taken on both sides, similar to mines.
But there were some water stains on the ground. When walking here, you would step on something from time to time. Some were soft and some were hard. No one could see it and they were reluctant to look. Yao Xiong lowered his head and muttered: "Human head"
.”
After walking more than a hundred steps, the secret passage suddenly became wider. Liu Taozi originally had to bend down to move forward, but here, he could straighten up slightly.
On the left side, several torches seemed to be extinguished, and it was pitch black. Only the rustling sound could be heard. Yao Xiong took the removed torch, strode forward, and raised it suddenly.
Under the light of the torch, there were many pairs of frightened eyes.
Many wooden stakes were driven into the ground, and people were chained to the wooden stakes.
They were all women, of all ages. They didn't even have a piece of cloth to hide their shame. Iron chains were wrapped around their necks. The iron chains were so short that they couldn't even stand up. They lay on the ground like dogs, lying on the ground.
Around them, there were so many bones and corpses of different sizes scattered everywhere, and all kinds of filthy things were piled up together, making it impossible to look straight at them.
The women opened their mouths, but they only made whimpering sounds. They had no tongues and could not make any sound.
Some even have no ears, eyes or nose, and are just twitching.
There was no light in their eyes, but only unspeakable fear.
Yao Xiong shivered and felt his scalp numb. He raised the torch and moved forward. The road was filled with people who had been locked up. Not only women, but also men behind them. Yao Xiong all suffered the same fate.
Every step would break a lot of bones and hit dirty things. After walking for a long time, he didn't dare to move forward. He looked back at Liu Taozi, his eyes full of fear. This reckless Hu was the first
I felt some unspeakable terror.
Liu Taozi looked at the people in front of him calmly, his hand holding the sword became bulging with veins because of too much force.
"Zili, take these people out, Yao Xiong, follow me!!"
Liu Taozi and Yao Xiong continued to chase forward. As they walked forward, they saw many golden treasures, including gold, jewelry, and even calligraphy and paintings. These indescribable treasures were piled up casually.
On both sides, there were traces of being moved and scattered. These traces were convenient for Liu Taozi. Liu Taozi and Yao Xiong followed the scattered jewelry and gold and sped up, chasing faster and faster.
After walking for who knows how long, they arrived at the end of the tunnel. Liu Taozi knocked open the wooden board above, jumped out, and looked around.
This was a residence, or in Nancheng, and the door of the residence was open, and some things were scattered on the ground. Liu Taozi quickly chased out, but saw that the traces led all the way to the county government office.
At this moment, Ayanna was leading a few old monks, staggering towards the county government office, with bulging bags in their arms.
Ayan was in a particularly embarrassed state, with anger on his face.
"I must tell the Queen Mother, I must tell the Queen Mother that this monster is crazy, this monster."
Several old monks did not care about the dignity of the master at this moment, and followed Ayanna, running very fast.
They didn't even dare to look back. There was no one on the road. The people were so frightened by the movement of the county soldiers that they didn't dare to go out. They were all locked up. Ayanna just ran towards the county government office.
"This is definitely not Lou Rui's order! Absolutely not! Lou Rui would not do this!"
Ayan said this again and again. When he saw the tall county government mansion in the distance, his eyes were filled with excitement and he almost shed tears.
But behind him, there was the sound of heavy running.
Ayanna turned around and saw an angry demon running towards him. The demon threw away his armor while running wildly. As the things fell to the ground, his speed became faster and faster.
Ayana let out a scream, dropped what she was holding, turned around and ran away.
Ran around the corner.
There were more than ten people in front of me.
Shi Yao, holding a sharp sword, led the county officials and blocked the intersection.
Chapter completed!
