Chapter 88: Do everything evil, fight against the horse thief

The sun was scorching like fire, and amid the sound of horse hooves like thunder, hundreds of riders rushed towards this high ground, and wherever they passed, the sky was filled with yellow dust.

After going up to the high ground, the leader grabbed the horse. The leader was at forty years old, with a rough appearance and a few scars on his face, which made him look even more ferocious. The hundreds of riders behind him were all wearing cloth or leather robes, dirty bodies, and holding various weapons in their hands. At this time, looking at the small mountain village in front, many people were riding on horses, either with fierce eyes or excited expressions.

The rough man laughed and said, "Second brother, Song Village is ahead. Have fun here tonight. Tomorrow, we will go to Taipingzhuang and give the color of the name Huang Laifu."

The second brother was Liu Kewei, the second owner of Taipingzhuang. At this time, he said angrily: "If you can catch that Huang Laifu, I must cut him into pieces!"

The third brother Liu Kezhi next to him yelled: "This person holding the knife is me."

The rough man laughed and said, "It will make the two brothers get what they want."

This group of people is the horse thieves in Kelan Mountain. There are 500 people, all riding fast horses, which can be said to be like the wind. The rude man, named Liu Shaoan, is a relative of the Liu family. He has nearly 600 people under him, and is the largest force in the horse thieves in Kelan Prefecture. However, he used to be in Jingle and Lan County, and finally set foot in Shenchi Fort, Wuzhai Fort and other places.

However, a few days ago, after Liu Kewei and Liu Kezhi escaped from danger, he worked hard to find Liu Shaoan in Kelan Mountain. After hearing Liu Kewei's cry, Liu Shaoan was naturally furious. When did their Liu family suffer such a big loss? Without saying a word, he recruited 500 people under his command. He wanted to go to Wuzhai Fort to give Huang Laifu some good luck, and enjoy it casually and grab it. The local wealth of Wuzhai Fort was far away and also reached Liu Shaoan's ears. He was not moved, and it was impossible.

However, according to Liu Kewei's inquiry, Huang Laifu is still in Taipingzhuang, Shenchi Fort. And from their mountain village, straight to Wuzhai Fort, the journey is not far away, but there are mountains, steep cliffs, dense forests, which is extremely difficult to walk, and it can be said that there is not even a small road. So after the three of them discussed, they decided to go from Shenchi Fort to Wuzhai Fort. Besides, Huang Laifu is still in Shenchi Fort. I will teach him a lesson first and then say that it is best to kill him.

When we arrived here from the village of Kelan Mountain, the horse thieves had been traveling for two days and two nights. Wherever they walked, there were layers of mountains and steep mountain paths. There were no people, only a few sporadic hunters. Finally, a larger village appeared in front of them. How could the horse thieves resist the inner disturbance?

Liu Shaoan roared: "Brothers, come into the village and kill them all!"

Immediately, the horse thieves were joking, and they rode their horses, holding weapons. They roared in their mouths and ran towards the mountain village in the high ground like a whirlwind. Soon, a panic of terror and crying came from the village.

The horse thieves laughed wildly. They killed all the men, old people, and children in the village, leaving only some young women for them to enjoy themselves. Liu Shaoan also dug out the hearts and hearts of a few children to drink and enjoy Liu Kewei. Liu Kezhi and his brothers had fun all night. The next day after the horse thieves left, these women were also killed.

"It's been a while since I came out, it's time to go back."

In Taiping Village. In the Liu family's big house, Huang Laifu thought that it was June and nearly July. It was almost two months since he came to Shenchi Castle. Gu Yunniang was about to give birth to a child. When the child was born, he would naturally have to stay with his wife. Anyway, everything about Shenchi Castle has been on track. Even if he didn't stay in Shenchi Castle, the local coal mines and iron ore could still operate normally.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of the gong outside "Dangdang" sound, Huang Laifu shouted, "What's wrong outside?" At this time, Jiang Dazhong ran in and shouted, "Young master, a horse thief is coming."

Huang Laifu was shocked. He had been in the Ming Dynasty for several years. Is it the first time today to confront a large number of horse thieves? He asked: "The horse thieves are attacking? How many of them are there?"

Jiang Dazhong said: "Looking at the smoke and dust, I'm afraid there are hundreds of people!"

Huang Laifu said: "You immediately order the miners working outside to hide in the village and the fort, and ask the soldiers to prepare for battle. Also, send a few people to Shenchi Fort to ask my brother-in-law for help."

Jiang Dazhong responded loudly and went out to make arrangements.

At this time, Ma Jiuying, who also lived in the Liu family's house, ran into the hall in panic and said, "Mr. Huang, what's wrong?"

Huang Laifu comforted him and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, it's just some horse thieves. Let's go to the wall of the village to check the situation."

Eunuch Ma was frightened: "Ma thieves, I heard that those horse thieves are all violent people who kill without blinking. We..."

Huang Laifu comforted him and said, "It's just a few thieves. With our Wuzhai Fort soldiers here, my father-in-law doesn't have to worry at all."

Soon, Huang Laifu finished wearing armor. Accompanied by several servants, he arrived at the high wall of Taipingzhuang, and Ma Jiuying, who also followed Huang Laifu in fear.

After the Liu family's operation for a hundred years, the building in Taiping Village was wide and solid, with sufficient water sources, and thousands of people could live in it. There were also high walls and complete defensive fortifications. There were also high towers on the walls. Every move around could not escape the eyes of the guards on the tower. Therefore, although there was no warning from the horse thief coming, he still found the situation from afar when looking at the guards on the tower.

The horse team and the infantry team of Wuzhaibao, two hundred households, have been defending in Taipingzhuang after the incident in Taipingzhuang. In addition, there are some armed miners in the village who are also working together to defend in the village.

After Huang Laifu seized Taipingzhuang from the Liu family, Huang Laifu moved some of the miners and their families into Taipingzhuang. In addition, a barracks fortress was built not far from Taipingzhuang, living in the rest of the miners. There are also high walls and complete defensive fortifications. Usually, armed miners defended the fort with swords and guns. These places are not far from the coal mines where the miners work.

Therefore, after hearing the sound of the gong "Dangdang" on the Taiping Village, the workers working in various coal mines, as well as some women and children outside, hurriedly put down their work and hid in the village and the fort. Therefore, when the horse thieves rushed to the village, most of the land miners had entered a safe place. However, some land miners who had no time to enter the village or the fort were killed by the horse thieves.

Soon, amid the yellow dust and fog in the sky and the sound of horse hooves, hundreds of horse thieves came to Taipingzhuang. They screamed and ran around the village, chasing those who had no time to enter the village, and waving various weapons to show off their power. However, they did not dare to get too close to Taipingzhuang, because they were afraid of the bird guns and bows and arrows inside. Because Liu Ke had told them about his brothers, the soldiers of the Five Village Fort were equipped with a large number of bows and arrows and firearms.

Huang Laifu stood on the wall of the village and watched the horse thieves below performing calmly. Some soldiers from Wuzhai Fort stood seriously on the wall of the village with weapons. Ma Jiuying was still very frightened before, but after seeing that the horse thieves did not have the ability to attack Zhuangzi, he quickly felt relieved. As long as the village is closed to defend, nothing will happen. He snorted coldly: "The thieves who are overestimating themselves also want to harass Taipingzhuang?"

The horse thieves roared for a long time and slowly got together. Obviously, they felt that it was not interesting to roar like this. At the same time, they were surprised that most of the miners in Taipingzhuang could hide in the village so quickly. Soon, a large group of horse thieves hugged Liu Shaoan, Liu Kewei and others, and came to the range of firearms and bows and arrows from the Taipingzhuang. Liu Kewei and Liu Kezhi brothers looked at Huang Laifu on the wall of the village from afar. Both of them were red in their eyes. Liu Kewei shouted loudly: "If you have the surname Huang, come out of the village and fight with grandpa. Don't hide in the village like a shrunk bird."

Ma Jiuying sneered and said, "It would be strange if we are brainless thieves."

Huang Laifu turned to Jiang Dazhong and said, "Tell me, the miners guard the village, and all the soldiers of Wuzhai Fort will fight with me."

Jiang Dazhong responded excitedly, while Ma Jiuying's father-in-law turned pale. He said, "Mr. Huang, the bandits are powerful, so it's better not to leave the village."

Huang Laifu said: "Eunuch Ma, as officers and soldiers, how can we let hundreds of bandits be suppressed and hide in the village? Don't worry, just a few hundred horse thieves, two hundred soldiers in my five village fortress are enough to deal with them, and kill them without leaving any armor."

Soon, after Huang Laifu passed the order, the Wuzhai Fort horse team and the Baihujia team completed the whole team. After the village gate opened, they came out neatly without any confusion. Everyone was holding a stern weapon in their hands. The iron armor of the horse team was shining with cold light, silent and serious. Although it was silent, it had a strong pressure. The horse thieves shouting outside the village were all silent and weaker. Seeing the fierce appearance of the soldiers of Wuzhai Fort, no horse thieves dared to take the opportunity to harass them.
