"Asshole!"
In the residence of the general, Zhang Youxun couldn't help but get angry after hearing Mao Xingyi's report. He shouted loudly: "Liu Yan is just a guerrilla general. How dare you be so arrogant and openly disobey my general's orders? I think he is tired of living!"
"Sir, this matter must not be resolved for good, otherwise Liu Yan will be even more unscrupulous in the future, and it will be difficult for you to establish your prestige in Jimo Camp!"
Wang Ye and Dong Bihui also agreed. Under the clamor of the three, Zhang Youxun immediately ordered the three to gather their own servants. Zhang Youxun also gathered all his two hundred servants.
"Let's go! Liu Yan openly disobeyed orders. We will capture him today and punish him under military law!"
Mao Xingyi said: "Your Excellency, you must be cautious. This matter cannot be taken lightly, but you must handle it with haste and gentleness."
"Why do you handle things so quickly?"
Zhang Youxun said impatiently: "If you have something to say, just say it clearly, don't beat around the bush!"
"yes."
Mao Xingyi said: "What I mean is that Liu Yan must be captured with great fanfare this time, so that everyone in Jimoying City knows that Liu Yan will be dealt with severely, and Liu Yan was also dealt with severely. This is superficial. "
"But after your lord captures Liu Yan, you can't really be cruel. It's best to show him affection and reason, just like Zhang Feiyi did with Yan Yan. Between the light and the heavy, Liu Yan will naturally deal with it. Your Excellency is impressed, so as not to push Liu Yan too hastily and cause trouble."
Zhang Youxun suddenly laughed, pointed at Mao Xingyi and said, "You are such a damn talent!"
Outside the guerrilla mansion, a guard camp ran over at night without stopping. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly: "General Zhang Youxun is here with his people to arrest you!"
At this time, the entire guerrilla general's residence started to move. Miao Shao strode out with a long knife in his hand and asked sharply: "Where are they!"
"We've arrived at Beijiekou, we'll be there in a moment!"
Miao Shao was furious. Could it be that Zhang Youxun had lost his mind and gone crazy? He actually publicly arrested his master!
"Everyone, wearing armor and holding swords, follow me!"
Stationed at the guerrilla general's residence was General Zuo's post of the Guards Battalion. There were more than 160 people. At this time, they were all greeted by Miao Shao. They were soon dressed neatly, with flint-haired birds, muskets, spears, swords and shields. Everyone was ready and rushed to the gate following Miao Shao.
At this time, Liu Yan walked out of the main hall in the front yard, looked at everyone's desperate look, and said loudly: "What are you doing? Rebellion!"
Miao Shao said hurriedly: "Sir, it's Zhang Youxun..."
Liu Yan shouted: "Zhang Youxun is a military general of the Ming Dynasty, and I am a guerrilla general of the Ming Dynasty. Do you want to have internal strife? You have to fight without breaking up, do you understand?"
Miao Shao looked confused and asked: "Sir, this fight is a fight, why can't it be broken?"
Liu Yan looked at the soldiers and said: "Everyone, take back all your weapons, wear only armor, and replace them with big sticks and sticks for me. Remember: when the opponent comes, follow my orders, rush forward and beat him to death. But never kill someone, regardless of their disability!"
All the soldiers accepted the order with a bang, Miao Shao even let out a strange cry, and shouted without thinking it was a big deal: "Bring all the water and fire sticks in the backyard, and copy them!"
A moment later, Miao Shao led a sentry of more than 160 armored soldiers to gather outside the gate. Everyone had already formed a formation in the street. Dozens of soldiers holding long sticks stood in front, and more than a hundred soldiers holding big sticks lined up. later.
When the pedestrians and common people on the streets saw such a scene, they were all frightened and fled in all directions. No one dared to get close to these "ferocious" armored troops.
Miao Shao and Liu Yan stood in the queue. Miao Shao kept saying: "My lord, please go back first. I will definitely have no problem staying here."
"Needless to say, if I'm not here to control you, you can kill someone without even using a stick of incense. Do you believe it or not?"
Miao Shao smiled coquettishly, and then said, "Sir, is it true that there is no need to send people to the military camp to mobilize troops?"
Liu Yan said angrily: "What kind of troops are you sending? Just these people, go home after the fight!"
While he was talking, a large group of people drove up from the street. There were five or six hundred people, all of whom were young and strong. General Zhang Youxun and three guerrilla generals Mao Xingyi, Wang Ye, and Dong Bihui followed on horseback. , drove towards Liu Yan. 33
"Look, sir, they don't have weapons, they all have sticks or something like that."
Liu Yan nodded and said to himself: "It seems that Zhang Youxun has some sense of propriety!"
But Zhang Youxun, Mao Xingyi, Wang Ye, and Dong Bihui over there were not as calm as Liu Yan. When they saw the armored army that had lined up not far away, their faces were very ugly. Even the soldiers were holding wooden sticks and big sticks. But when a hundred or dozens of strong soldiers wearing fine iron armor gathered together, the evil aura they exuded was enough to intimidate others.
"This Liu Yan!"
Zhang Youxun ordered the large group of people to stop, and the five or six hundred servants who had gathered together stopped one after another, almost completely blocking the street.
These servants are all fierce and competitive people. Everyone has good kung fu and full of courage. On weekdays, they are fed by Zhang Youxun, Mao Xingyi, Wang Ye, and Dong Bihui with money and food, so in Jimo Camp He can be regarded as an elite in the army. Even though he has not achieved any military exploits on the battlefield, his bloody courage is still good.
But at this time, the hundreds of servants were hesitant. They had never seen such well-equipped armored soldiers on the opposite side. Moreover, all the servants could feel that the armored troops on the opposite side had all been in battle and had seen blood. , definitely not a good thing!
Zhang Youxun rode forward with a pale face. Mao Xingyi, Wang Ye, and Dong Bihui hurriedly rode to follow. The four of them came between the two parties, and soon saw Liu Yan in the crowd.
"Liu Youyi, what do you mean? Are you going to rebel?"
Liu Yan said loudly: "I'm reporting to you, the General. I heard that there are a large number of thieves on the streets in the city, so I gathered my subordinates to arrest them. Unexpectedly, I met you here. I wonder if you have seen those thieves?"
"Where did the thieves come from in this bright world!"
"The general is also very surprised, but Ting Ye will not accept anything in return: this band of thieves is about five or six hundred, led by four horse-riding bandit leaders. I wonder if you have any news?"
Zhang Youxun was immediately furious and said no more. He shouted directly on the horse: "Liu Yan resisted the military order. I am here to arrest him in accordance with the military law of the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who blocks his path will be punished by military law!"
Next to him, Mao Xingyi pointed at Miao Shao and other soldiers and said loudly: "If you don't disperse quickly, you want to die!"
Liu Yan didn't bother to waste any more words and said directly to Miao Shao: "Do it!"
Miao Shao grinned and shouted: "Go forward!"
"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"
The soldiers of the new army roared in unison and marched forward together in neat steps, like a city wall, pressing directly towards Zhang Youxun and the others.
"How brave!"
Zhang Youxun and others rode their horses back in embarrassment, and then Zhang Youxun yelled: "Hit me!"
Five or six hundred servants roared and rushed forward. The two sides immediately collided with each other, shouting and cursing.
Mao Xingyi was worried that something would happen and shouted hurriedly: "No hitting the head!"
Over there, Miao Shao was waving a stick and beating the servants, while shouting: "Fuck me! If you kill me, you will be rewarded with your life, and if you are crippled, you will be rewarded!"
People and horses on both sides continued to surge forward. Although the new army soldiers were few in number, they were able to move forward in formation, and they cooperated very well with each other. Dozens of soldiers holding long sticks stood in front and turned the sticks into spears to block many servants in front. More than a hundred soldiers holding big sticks swarmed forward and beat the servants hard. He was beaten until he fell back and screamed repeatedly.
Looking at the servants, the sticks in their hands hit the new army soldiers, but it had no effect. The wooden sticks hit the iron armor, making a continuous sound of gold and wood, causing no harm at all, leaving the servants helpless. .
At this time, Wang Ye and Dong Bihui were dumbfounded. They saw that the battle was completely one-sided. Liu Yan's more than one hundred New Army soldiers suppressed five or six hundred elite servants and fought fiercely. Several elite servants were proud of them. At this time, like women and children, they had almost no power to fight back, and were completely in a passive position of being beaten.
Zhang Youxun's eyes were already red with rage, and he whipped Mao Xingyi and shouted: "Stop yelling, you're going to lose if you don't see it, and the servants are tied up!"
Mao Xingyi said with a grimace: "Sir, I am shouting, tell those New Army soldiers not to hit the servants on the head. The training of these servants is not easy. If they are killed or injured, the gain will not be worth the loss."
Zhang Youxun opened his mouth, but didn't say a word. His face turned red from holding back, and he whipped Mao Xingyi again.
At this moment, there was only a loud bang, and hundreds of servants could no longer hold on. They shouted and fled back, just like the refugees swarming in, and they ignored Wang Ye and Dong Bihui who shouted loudly. Ignore him and just run away.
Miao Shao laughed excitedly and shouted: "Forward, forward, forward!"
"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"
More than 160 soldiers of the new army continued to advance forward. Wang Ye and Dong Bihui were horrified, and at this time they also rode their horses and fled behind the defeated troops.
Mao Xingyi hurriedly grabbed the reins of Zhang Youxun's horse and shouted: "My lord, hurry up!"
Zhang Youxun looked at the New Army soldiers who were already close at hand, cursed a few words unwillingly, and chose to get off the donkey along the slope and escape with Mao Xingyi.
At this time, in the streets, dozens of servants who had been beaten until they could not stand were groaning and rolling on the ground.
Most of the people were beaten until their noses were bruised, their faces were swollen and their heads were bleeding. Some servants had their hands and feet broken, and were basically disabled. There were even a dozen servants who were unconscious, as motionless as dead people, allowing the new army officers and soldiers to walk around.
Liu Yan couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this, and looked at the people who were popping up around him one after another. He saw that those people did not change their nature of watching the excitement. Seeing that the fighting was over, they gathered around in twos and threes, talking in low voices.
Liu Yan then called Miao Shao and said, "Call Qianhu Baoxue Town over immediately. These servants cannot die. They must be sent to the military camp for treatment immediately."
"yes."
"In addition, in my name, you put up a notice outside the mansion, saying that there are idlers in the city who gathered to make trouble. I just led my troops to quell the chaos."
Miao Shao said in surprise: "Sir, this is not necessary. Shouldn't Zhang Youxun be responsible for the aftermath?"
Liu Yan sighed and said, "I guess Zhang Youxun has run out of ideas now. When he comes out to take care of things, there will be no news in the city!"
Miao Shao reluctantly accepted the order with clasped fists.
It didn't take long for the injured servants on the streets to be carried away by the arriving New Army soldiers, and all of them were sent to the military camp in the city for treatment.
That afternoon, a notice was posted outside the residence of Liu Yan's guerrilla general, and the surrounding people gathered around it.
A literate scholar volunteered to stand up and read aloud: "...Today, idlers gathered in the city and thieves were everywhere. The guerrilla general Liu Yan couldn't bear to see the people suffer, so he led his troops to attack the thieves. The turmoil in the city subsided in a moment..."
After the notice was read, a group of people started talking loudly.
"Thieves? Aren't those the General and a few guerrilla servants?"
"What? You know it!"
"My aunt's second cousin works as a servant under Mao's guerrillas. When he came with a large group of people just now, I approached him to say hello, but before I could get there, the two sides started fighting."
"My dear, what are these years? The officers and soldiers have begun to fight among themselves. What's going on? Are you still hiding the facts?"
"You don't know this, right? The general has suffered a loss. A few hundred people can't beat Liu Youyi's more than 100 people. We can't afford to lose this person. Liu Youyi is a man of integrity and took the initiative to stand up for the general. They hide their face, this is what all the big men in the officialdom do."
Everyone listened as if they were just like that, and the man who spoke was very proud, proud of his profound knowledge.
"Alas! I wonder if the general will let it go after suffering a loss and losing face!"
Some people died, but not completely...
