I saw Jia Hongyu approaching quickly. He took out an order directly from the horse and handed it to Liu Yan: "The Huangshan Dunjia Commander led his troops to cause a rebellion. The team leader is mobilizing troops and horses from all over to prepare to quell the rebellion. Mr. Liu Qi Gather your troops immediately and assemble towards Huangshan Dun now."
Liu Yan was shocked when he heard this. Instead of calming down, the incident in Huangshandun actually intensified and developed to this point!
After Liu Yan received the order, he immediately called Chen Xun and ordered all the Dun troops in Dapan Dun to assemble. He also transferred 18 people from those military households and gathered 30 people to set off together.
When Jia Hongyu saw Liu Yan gathering troops, he clasped his fists on his horse and said, "Okay, I have to go to another Yandun to deliver the order. Let's meet at Huangshan Dun!"
Liu Yan sent Jia Hongyu and others away, and then began to deploy.
"The flag officer Chen Xun will lead two people to stay in the pier, and everyone else will follow me to the Huangshan pier to join the team officer Wang!"
Wang Yue was secretly happy when he heard this, and immediately took orders to lead people to make preparations. Miao Shao and Xu Ming went back to prepare their equipment without saying a word. Only Chen Xun hesitated to speak, feeling very worried.
"Captain A!"
When everyone dispersed and prepared to set off, Chen Xun followed Liu Yan to the room and said: "Going to Huangshan Dun to quell the chaos this time is not a trivial matter. It is better to let Wang Yue stay behind and let his subordinates go with the commander."
Liu Yan put on a piece of cotton armor on his body and tied up his bow and quiver, and said, "I understand what you mean, but this trip to Huangshan Dun is an opportunity. I have my own plans."
Chen Xun wanted to say something else, but Liu Yan had already hung the sword on his waist and had a long spear in his hand, saying: "Just guard the pier. Now that we have calmed down the chaos, we should also guard the pier inside and outside the pier." Something has changed!”
After saying that, Liu Yan strode out, and Chen Xun felt that Liu Yan had a different demeanor, which was completely different from his original boring character.
At this time, Miao Shao, Xu Ming, and Wang Yue had gathered the remaining ten Dunjun soldiers and eighteen young military households, and they were all lining up in the open space inside the Dunhun. When everyone saw Liu Yan in full armor, they were all stunned on the spot. Is this still the armor commander in everyone's impression? This is clearly a battle-hardened warrior!
Liu Yan scanned the crowd with his eyes and saw that both Miao Shao and Xu Ming were wearing cotton armor, but like Liu Yan, they were similar to waistcoats, not the kind of full-body cotton armor at all, and they were also very worn out. . Wang Yue had a sword on his waist, but no bow and arrows.
As for the rest of the people, they only had mandarin duck war coats that looked like beggars' uniforms. Those military households didn't even have mandarin duck war coats, and the weapons in their hands were long spears with rusty tips.
"Now that everyone is here, let's set off."
Not long after, everyone arrived outside Huangshan Dun.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty built piers every few miles in the border areas and coastal areas. The places on the nine sides were called side piers, and the hinterland and coastal areas were called Huolu piers. There are three to forty fire road piers in the entire Lingshan Guard such as Dapan Dun and Huangshan Dun.
Liu Yan stood still with a spear in his hand, and saw that the entire body of Huangshan Dun was made of rammed earth. Like Dapan Dun, it was not covered with bricks. If it were covered with bricks, it would no longer be a fire road pier, but a balcony. There is a horse pen fence around Huangshan Dun. Liu Yan observed that the fence was more than a hundred meters long, and there was a trench outside Huangshan Dun, which seemed to be quite deep.
"Walk!"
Liu Yan greeted, and more than a dozen people moved forward faster, and finally stopped outside the pier outside Huangshan Dun. The wall was more than three meters high, and there was a gate facing the south. The plaque on the gate read "Huangshan Three words: "pier". There is a hanging tower above the gate to control the suspension bridge in and out.
At this time, Wang Wenzhen, the team leader of Wangjiazhuang, had already arrived here first. Jia Hongyu was shouting for everyone to line up. Liu Yan hurriedly took Miao Shao, Xu Ming and Wang Yue to report.
"Liu Yan, the commander of Dapan Dunjia, arrived with his troops and reported back to the leader of the team!"
Wang Wenzhen looked at Liu Yan, and then at Miao Shao, Xu Ming, Wang Yue and others behind Liu Yan. He couldn't help but frown slightly. It was obvious that Wang Wenzhen was a little disappointed by the faces of everyone in Dapandun.
"Get ready."
"Got the order!"
Liu Yan took everyone aside to prepare. At this time, Liu Yan had the opportunity to observe the men brought by Wang Wenzhen.
I saw Wang Wenzhen riding a war horse. Wang Wenzhen was a man of medium build, about thirty-five or six years old, with a long face covered with beard, which made him look very rough.
At this time, Wang Wenzhen was wearing a piece of armor, but it was also very shabby. There were bows and arrows and a Yanling knife on the saddle. The strong bow was the one Liu Yan had seen in Baihu Guantang.
In addition, there were more than forty soldiers around Wang Wenzhen. Except for a dozen of them, the rest of the soldiers also looked like beggars.
"It seems that those dozen elite soldiers are Wang Wenzhen's servants."
Liu Yan then looked at the Huangshan Pier. At this time, there were more than a dozen Dunjun soldiers on the pier, looking nervously at this side. Twenty more Dunjun soldiers had already left the gate and were on guard outside the suspension bridge. The scene at this time was very tense.
"There are so many Dunjun troops in Huangshan Dun!"
At this time, Jia Hongyu came over and said to Liu Yan in a low voice: "The rations in the surrounding Yandun are also a little less. A gentry is responsible for distributing them together with Huangshan Dun. Many Dunjun soldiers came over from those Yanduns." .”
"How many rebels are there in the pier?"
"At least forty people!"
Liu Yan couldn't help but frowned: "Things are not easy to handle."
At this moment, Wang Wenzhen rode his horse forward, and then shouted loudly: "The imperial court has distributed rations, and the previous debts have also been distributed. I tell you to wait for a few more days. You are in a hurry." What? Now that the situation is like this, let me see how you end it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw one person walking out of the pier army outside the suspension bridge. Liu Yan saw a hardwood waistband hanging on the man's waist. This person was the armor commander of Huangshan pier.
"Master, don't fool us! The rations issued by the imperial court are only 40%. Where did the rest go? With this little ration, my whole family will starve to death. Why don't we make a fuss!"
When Wang Wenzhen saw this, he also lost his patience. It was an unwritten practice for Lingshan Guards to deduct rations from Dunjun and military households step by step. It was just a matter of the amount deducted at each point.
As for why only 40% of the money is distributed here in Huangshandun, it is probably because the Wangjiazhuang gentry in charge of the distribution here is too greedy.
"Hmph! See how I deal with this bunch of trash when I get back. They'll cause me trouble every day!"
Wang Wenzhen thought about it and thought that he still had to suppress it with force at this time. After all, the wage disputes must not be tolerated, otherwise so many Huolu Dun and Tunbao under his rule would follow the same example. As the manager of Wangjiazhuang Hundred Household Office, he Is the team officer still doing his job?
"Liu Yan!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Take your men to lead the attack, and my officer will follow."
"Got the order!"
Liu Yan had long expected that he would be the first to be called, so he did not panic. He just glanced at Miao Shao, Xu Ming and Wang Yue and said, "Line up and attack!"
Everyone lined up, with Liu Yan leading the way, followed by Miao Shao and Xu Ming, one on the left and one on the right. The three of them took all ten Dunjun soldiers with them, while Wang Yue followed with the remaining military households, Qingzhuang.
This time, there were people on the Huangshan Pier standing guard with bows and arrows. The Huangshan Pier Armor Chief led his people to block the suspension bridge. It was impossible to do this with just his men and dozens of people under the team leader Wang Wenzhen. Capture Huangshan Dun.
At this time, Liu Yan concentrated on staring at the Huangshan Dunjia Commander and others in front. He saw that the Huangshan Dunjia Commander had already rushed up with more than thirty Dunjun troops. These people had no formation at all, they just swarmed up in a chaotic manner.
Over there, Wang Wenzhen saw this and had already retreated on horseback, calling for dozens of his soldiers to come forward and form a formation. Dozens of soldiers gathered together in a noisy manner. Under the scoldings of four servants, they finally got into some formation.
"It seems that the soldiers of Baihusuo are still well-trained. Although they are still a mob, they are much stronger than the troops of these Huolu piers."
At this time, Liu Yan had already taken off his strong bow, placed a heavy arrow on the string, and then with a loud shout, he drew the strong bow into the shape of a full moon.
"middle!"
With a whoosh, a heavy arrow was shot out at a rapid speed, and then the Huangshan Dunjia Commander screamed and fell to the ground.
The heavy arrow fired by Liu Dian hit Huangshan Dunjia Chang's left leg, and blood flowed all over the ground. The Dunjun soldiers who rushed over were frightened by this scene, and they all retreated to the side, not knowing what to do.
Upon seeing this, Miao Shao and Xu Ming rushed forward with ten Dunjun soldiers. Everyone shouted and separated the rest of the rebel soldiers from the Huangshan Dunjia Commander, and Liu Yan also rushed forward.
"ah!"
The Huangshan Dunjia Commander was still writhing in pain on the ground, while Liu Yan walked over with a gun in his hand. He ignored the Dunjun soldiers who had been separated and kicked away the weapon in the Huangshan Dunjia Commander's hand, and then carried it with one hand. He grabbed the gun and grabbed Huangshan Dunjia's injured left leg with one hand and dragged him back like this.
At this time, there was silence all around. The dozens of Dunjun troops inside and outside Huangshan Dun had no backbone and were all stunned. Wang Wenzhen did not expect that the situation would develop like this. Miao Shao, Xu Ming and Wang Yue could not have imagined that Liu Yan would be so brave and take down the armor commander of Huangshan Dun with one arrow!
"Hurry up, get on me!"
Wang Wenzhen was the first to react. He called on his subordinates to rush forward and disarm the thirty-odd Dun troops. He then personally opened the gate of Huangshan Dun on horseback, and asked his servants to lead their men to rush in. All the Mingdun troops also disarmed and were brought out to wait for disposal.
At this time, Wang Yue looked at Liu Yan, who had captured Huangshan Dunjia Commander with one hand, and felt a little fear in his heart.
"Good man!"
After Wang Wenzhen finished dealing with the prisoners, he called Liu Yan to him and laughed, the whiskers on his face trembling: "Haha. What a good man, I really didn't expect that General Liu Qi was not only talented in all kinds of crafts, but also There is such force!”
Liu Yan clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency, I have given you too much praise. It is a blessing for me to be able to share your worries with you!"
"good!"
"Today you captured the leader of the rebels, which is considered a credit. I will reward you based on your merits when you return."
"Thank you, sir!"
Then Wang Wenzhen ordered Liu Yan to take people back to Dapandun first, while he took people to deal with the aftermath here.
Before leaving, Liu Yan took one more look at the Huangshan Dunjia Commander and the others, and understood what would happen if he gathered a crowd to make a fuss over pay. Although he felt a little unbearable, he had no choice but to catch up with the world. After sighing, he took the people away.
In the evening, everyone returned to Dapan Dun, and Chen Xun hurriedly greeted them. Hearing that the trip went well, he felt relieved.
Miao Shao, Xu Ming, Wang Yue and others were very excited. They kept talking about Liu Yan's bravery with the family members and Chen Xun in the dungeon, which caused a burst of exclamations from time to time.
At this time, Liu Yan's image in the hearts of everyone in the Dungeon changed drastically. The twelve Dunjun soldiers started to despise Liu Yan, but now they are afraid of Liu Yan. When Liu Yan was about to return to the house, everyone's attitude became even more abnormal. He was respectful and consciously made way for him to watch Liu Yan return to his house.
"now it's right!"
Liu Yan put down his clothes and realized his goal of going to Huangshan Dun today. He not only shocked Wang Yue, but also got the real appreciation of the team officer Wang Wenzhen.
"Next, I should be able to develop my big tricks with peace of mind!"
