Two days later, Huangshan Dun.
Liu Dayu frowned and leaned on a bamboo chair. There was a letter on a small altar table in front of him. The envelope was stamped with the seal of the Qianhu Office in front of Xiahe Village.
At this time, Liu Dayu pondered for a while, and then looked to the side. Jia Jinglang, the coach of the Xu family, was sitting next to him, looking over with an angry expression.
"Mr. Liu Qi, you understand what the old man means. Now here is the inspection document issued by Dai Baihu. I think you should gather your troops as soon as possible and make a hard trip."
Liu Dayu subconsciously nodded in agreement, and then said: "Inspecting the salt drying field is an obvious method. I wonder if the team leader Wang Wenzhen has an explanation?"
"Wang Wenzhen?"
Jia Jinglang snorted coldly and said, "He is already on Liu Yan's side. If Wang Wenzhen's general flag officer Jia Hongyu hadn't stabbed him the night before yesterday, I would have led people to catch up with Liu Yan's men!"
"In this case, this matter was handled by bypassing the team leader Wang Wenzhen. If he asks him to question him in the future..."
Jia Jinglang stood up angrily and said: "Mr. Liu, don't forget, this is a matter of the Xu family, and the old man is your uncle! Even if Wang Wenzhen wants to settle accounts afterwards, we still have the support of Dai Baihu, and the old man is in charge. Are you afraid What!"
Liu Dayu sneered in his heart. After all, he was the chief flag officer of Wangjiazhuang and was under the jurisdiction of Wangwen Town, so he naturally had such worries.
So Liu Dayu said: "I think this is good. I will immediately gather the people and set off. After arriving at the salt drying field, I will send someone to notify the team officer. In this way, the team officer will have no time to notify Liu Yan, and there will be no excuse to settle the accounts afterwards. What? ?”
Jia Jinglang said dissatisfied: "Anyway, I have conveyed the matter. It is your business to do what you do. If there is any problem, you are responsible for it!"
After saying that, Jia Jinglang walked away.
Liu Dayu spat fiercely and cursed: "A bullshit coach dares to talk to me like this. I really don't know how high the sky is!"
However, things still needed to be done. On that day, Liu Dayu sent someone to contact Shen Wenyun, the chief of Shagou Dunjia, and Liu Qunyi, the chief of Fenghuoshuo Dunjia. At the cost of each person receiving two thousand kilograms of sea salt, they asked them to gather their troops and come. Convergence.
At the same time, Liu Dayu also spent a lot of money and gathered all the idle people he usually attracted from various places. Together with the Dunjun and Qingzhuang from the three Yanduns, more than 330 people were gathered in two days.
Looking at the people gathered inside and outside Huangshan Dun, Liu Dayu was still a little worried, but he was also a little complacent. He invited Liu Qunyi and Shen Wenyun to drink in his house, and the three of them planned to go to the Dapanbao salt drying field tomorrow.
On that night, Xunshan Dunye did not accept Shen Tuo's charge and rushed into Dapanbao on horseback. He came to the main flag hall and met Liu Yan.
"I have met General Liu Qi and I have brought you news."
Then Shen Tuo leaned over and whispered something into Liu Yan's ear. I saw Liu Yan suddenly exuding a burst of evil spirit, and said with a sneer: "The old thieves of the Xu family and Liu Dayu are also going to take action? I really didn't expect that they actually thought of using official means!"
Shen Tuo said with some worry: "The leader of the team is worried that the old thieves of the Xu family have some conspiracy, so I have been secretly inquiring about the news these days. I also accidentally heard that the people from Fengshan Mountain Dune were mobilized two days ago, and then I followed the clues and found it. We went to Huangshan Dun and spent some money to find out the whole story from a family member of the Huangshan Dun Dun army."
"Mr. Liu, please be careful. Liu Dayu should have official documents from the Qianhu Office in front of Xiahe Village in his hands this time. This matter is not trivial. If not, the Shangguan will blame him!"
Liu Yan said: "I know, Brother Shen has worked hard this time. I will ask someone to prepare some food. Brother Shen can rest here for the night."
Shen Tuo shook his head and said, "No, I'll go back to the mountain ridge overnight."
"Oh well."
With that said, Liu Yan took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Shen Tuo, saying, "Brother Shen, don't be offended. I'm not giving this money to buy information, but giving it to my brother. Please don't dislike it, brother Shen."
Shen Tuo smiled faintly, took the money and said, "Then General Liu Qi, please take care of yourself and leave first."
After sending Shen Tuo away, Liu Yan summoned several small flag officials to discuss matters. At this time, except for Zhang Yi, the flag officer, who was stationed at the salt drying field, the other five people, Chen Xun, Wang Yue, Wang Bo, Miao Shao, and Xu Ming, were all in the fort. When everyone arrived at the flag hall, Liu Yan informed everyone of the news sent by Shen Tuo.
"At the earliest tomorrow, and at the latest the day after tomorrow, Liu Dayu will gather two to three hundred people from Huangshan Dun, Fenghuoshan Dun, Shagou Dun and other places to go to the salt drying field. Now Liu Dayu has the inspection documents from the Qianhu Office in front of Xiahe Village. They came just to seal up our salt drying field!"
The crowd was excited, and Chen Xun shouted directly: "Commander A, let's gather people and wait for this bastard Liu Dayu in the salt drying field. I don't believe it. This time I will kill him with one shot!"
Wang Yue also stood up to express his loyalty and said, "Don't worry, Commander. As long as Commander A gives the order, we will fight to the end with Liu Dayu and others, without any hesitation!"
Miao Shao said with some worry: "Since Liu Dayu has the official documents from the Qianhu Office in front of Xiahe Village, he is confident and even eager for us to take action, so that he can use the connections of the Qianhu Office to punish the Chief. This matter You can’t be impulsive, you must take a long-term approach!”
Several people immediately started arguing. Liu Yan signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Since Liu Dayu and the old thieves of the Xu family have made another move, I can't let them down."
"Send the order: All bannermen will prepare meals at midnight and set off in half an hour."
Liu Yan immediately began to deploy: "The small flag officer Chen Xun led his troops to garrison Dapanbao. In addition, he sent someone to notify the small flag officer Zhang Yi and ordered him to lead his troops to defend the salt field. Be more vigilant in the past two days. The other flags will follow in the middle of the night. I set off, preparing to ambush Liu Dayu's troops along the way!"
Everyone was excited when they heard this. Liu Yan was indeed fearless. Anyone who dared to make an enemy of Dapanbao would be killed directly without any hesitation. Of course, Liu Yan was no ordinary reckless man, and every move he made was carefully considered.
Miao Shao reminded: "Commander Jia, does Liu Dayu still have the official documents from the Qianhu Office in front of Xiahe Village? If we attack rashly, will the situation become uncontrollable?"
Liu Yan sneered and said: "Official document? Where is the official document? Who gave it to me! Have you seen it?"
Miao Shao was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "I haven't seen you, it must be that bastard Liu Dayu."
In the early morning of the next day, Huangshan Hill.
Huangshangang is a small hill that is not too big, with a radius of more than ten miles. It has dense vegetation and twists and turns. There is an official road passing through here, but it is not easy to walk because of its disrepair for a long time. In rainy and snowy weather, Huangshan Gang is a small hill. , this official road will become so muddy that it is almost impossible to pass it on foot, let alone vehicles and horses.
At this time, Liu Yan led the three banners of Wang Yue, Miao Shao, and Wang Bo to ambush on Huangshan Hill. This is a hillside with lush shrubs, overlooking the official road below, and it is very hidden.
Wang Bo walked over and whispered to Liu Yan: "Commander A, Xu Xiaoqi has led Ye Buqi to rush to Huangshan Dun. After we succeed here, Xu Xiaoqi will raid Huangshan Dun and Fengshan Dun as planned. and three places at Shagoudun."
Liu Yan nodded and said to Wang Bo, Wang Yue, and Miao Shao: "The gunmen of each department are the main force this time. After two rounds of volleys, we must disrupt the enemy's formation and kill as many as possible." Shoot and wound the enemy's troops."
"yes!"
While talking, Liu Yan suddenly saw a flock of birds startling in the woods to the north, and hurriedly signaled everyone to prepare for battle. A total of forty-five bird shooters from the three flags had already loaded their weapons, and they were all lying down behind the temporary mounds of soil on the ground. He stretched out a pair of muskets and aimed them all at the official road below.
The remaining dozens of spearmen and sword and shield players gathered behind. Wang Bo, Wang Yue, and Miao Shao were also on standby there. As soon as Liu Yan gave an order, the three of them led their troops to charge down.
It didn't take long for Liu Yan, who was lying next to the gunman, to see a figure. He saw Liu Dayu wearing a cotton armor and walking at the front. Next to him were Liu Qunyi and Shen Wenyun. There were more than a dozen people beside the three of them. A well-equipped Dunjun should be the servant of three people.
Then a large group of people came along the official road, and Liu Yan also frowned slightly. Liu Dayu brought at least 200 people this time, and it was estimated that there were nearly 300 troops. It seemed that Liu Dayu was preparing to kill him.
"Huh! Now that you're here, don't leave!"
By the time Liu Dayu and his party passed the ambush site, half of the team of 300 people had passed. Liu Yan suddenly shouted: "Hit!"
Forty-five muskets opened fire instantly. The straight-line distance between the mountainside and the official road was only more than 30 steps. In addition, Liu Dayu and the others were in a hurry, and everyone was crowded on the official road, so this round of volleys gained a lot. It was so huge that at least thirty people fell to the ground, and most of them were killed directly!
"There's an ambush!"
Liu Dayu suddenly exclaimed, feeling like the hairs on his hair were about to explode. Who would attack him here? The answer is self-evident!
Immediately afterwards, there was another round of volley, and the people and horses on the official road were shot down again, and the whole team was in chaos.
After all, these three hundred people were all temporarily put together by Liu Dayu. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a mob. The number of people who can fight is only a few dozen at most. The rest are young and strong military households from various places, and even They are just idlers everywhere, just to make up for their numbers.
At this time, Liu Dayu was completely anxious and shouted loudly, asking Liu Qunyi to rush to the back of the team to take command, and everyone immediately retreated.
"Mr. Shen Qi, organize a counterattack immediately and rush forward!"
Shen Wenyun's eyes widened, he looked at Liu Dayu and said angrily: "You are just a flag officer, why should you command me! The guns over there are so fierce, why don't you lead someone to charge forward!"
Liu Dayu said angrily: "Okay! I will lead people to charge forward, you lead people to take a detour and attack sideways. You must be quick, otherwise everyone will die!"
Shen Wenyun stopped arguing at this time and was about to lead his men around halfway up the mountain, when he caught a glimpse of Liu Qunyi.
At this time, Liu Qunyi was lying on the ground with his back. There were four holes in his body, and he was bleeding out gurglingly. He was already out of breath. The surrounding Dunjun and military household young men were running around, and the whole official road was everywhere. They are all people, and the already narrow official channels are completely blocked. How can there be room to mobilize people and reorganize the team?
Shen Wenyun rolled his eyes, and then he took a few servants and prepared to run away, but Liu Dayu stopped him directly: "What are you doing!"
"You are blind. You can't win this battle. If you don't run away now, you will die!"
Liu Dayu was furious. This victory or defeat was related to the survival of the Xu family and his own glorious future. There were still more than 200 people on the official road, how could he just run away?
So Liu Dayu drew his sword and pointed it at Shen Wenyun, and just as he was about to shout angrily, there was another volley from the mountainside. About thirty people on the official road fell immediately, and the remaining people immediately exploded.
"Gather the troops and charge forward with me!"
Liu Dayu gritted his teeth and said that suddenly there were people on the mountainside. Then he was horrified to see dozens of spearmen and sword and shield men rushing down, directly rushing his subordinates on the official road to pieces, without any chance of fighting back. force.
"That is……"
Liu Dayu saw Wang Yue in the crowd at a glance, and immediately roared: "Kill, kill me!"
But no one obeyed Liu Dayu's order at this time. Even Shen Wenyun took the opportunity to run back, but was very unlucky to meet Liu Yan himself.
"Where to go!"
Liu Yan slashed hard, and the sharp Yanling knife cut off half of Shen Wenyun's shoulder and his head. The blood mist suddenly sprayed out, and the surrounding Huangshan Dun and other places Dunjun and Qingzhuang screamed and ran away , looking at Liu Yan as if he had seen an evil ghost, he did not dare to step forward at all.
Then Liu Yan saw Liu Dayu, and under the protection of Wang Bo and several spearmen, he killed Liu Dayu.
