Taiyi Mountain is too big, and Xu Xian, Jiulian, Chen Changxing and others were well hidden. Dewey led the Du family army to search for more than ten days, but found no trace of the three people, but came to the vicinity of Chenjiagou.
Dewey asked:
"Looking from above, this mountain village seems to be in a ravine. Could it be the legendary Chenjiagou?"
Master Sun said:
"Master, down here is Chenjiagou, the hometown of Chen San and Chen Changxing."
Dewey's eyes moved slowly, finally stopping on Yanyan Wuping, and said:
"Those crooked melons and cracked dates are the Chenjiagou Self-Defense Force?"
Although Chen Changxing left Chenjiagou, the training of the Self-Defense Forces did not stop, and they continued to drill at Yanwuping every day.
The Chenjiagou Self-Defense Force has been strictly screened, and they are only the best. Of course, they are not some crooked melons and cracked jujubes. They are all trained men, and they have no problem beating two or three ordinary people.
Dewey was dissatisfied with Xu Xian and Chen Changxing, and also angered the Chenjiagou Self-Defense Force, using crooked melons and cracked jujubes to express his contempt.
Master Sun said:
"If it's a bare-handed fight, it's hard for the Chenjiagou Self-Defense Force to deal with them. We have arrows and it's easy to deal with those crooked melons and cracked jujubes.
However, our enemies are only Chen San and Chen Changxing, so there is no need to provoke Chenjiagou. "
Legend has it that Tai Chi in Chenjiagou is relatively mysterious. Master Sun also heard about it and discouraged it because he didn’t want to cause trouble.
With a cold look in his eyes, Dewey asked:
"Master Sun, do you have any acquaintances in Chenjiagou?"
Master Sun shook his head and said:
"No, I just don't want everyone to take risks."
"Adventure? Master Sun, your courage is getting weaker and weaker."
Dewey laughed wildly and said:
"Chen San and Chen Changxing killed my son. Their hatred is irreconcilable. Even if their bodies are cut into pieces, it will not be able to relieve the hatred in my heart.
If Chenjiagou could be uprooted, not only would he be able to take revenge, but he would also be able to establish his authority.
Of course, the most important thing is that I want to use everyone in Chenjiagou as hostages to force Chen San and Chen Changxing to come over and die. "
Master Sun knew how to adapt to the changing circumstances. Now that Dewey had decided, of course he tried his best to cooperate, saying:
“The village owner is wise, if we want to touch Chenjiagou, we’d better find a reason.
For example, it is said that Chen Changxing and Chen San from Chenjiagou colluded with Fang bandits to kill Du Zhixian with the intention of rebelling.
The owner of the village had a sharp eye and shattered Chen Changxing's conspiracy. In order to eliminate the root cause, he chased him all the way to Chenjiagou, vowing to clean up the rebels in Chenjiagou and bring peace to Dachu. "
Xu Xian's current identity, Chen San, is just an ordinary person. Of course, the leader of the rebel bandit must be Chen Changxing.
Chen Changxing's status is more suitable to be the leader of the rebels.
"Our operation this time is to eliminate rebels. If there is any resistance, we will kill them in the name of rebellion."
After a pause, Dewey said loudly:
"The Junjian camp listened to the order and immediately arrested the rebels on Yanwuping. If they encountered resistance, they shot them with random arrows."
"Catch the rebels and increase the prestige of our army."
A high-pitched and loud voice passed by, and the Junjian battalion moved towards Yanwuping to surround them.
There were more than seventy people in the Nuojian Camp, which was far from the number of people in a battalion. Dewey continued to add people to the Nuojian Camp in order to make it a battalion worthy of the name.
Without Chen Changxing in charge, although the Refugee Self-Defense Force is still training, it seems a bit perfunctory because there is no mastermind.
Because he had not experienced actual combat, he had a poor sense of danger. He did not react until he was surrounded by a battalion of arrows and was held by dozens of arrows, but he was unable to form an effective counterattack or dodge.
"You have been surrounded. Quickly put down your weapons, raise your hands, squat on the ground and surrender to avoid death."
"court death!"
The Chenjiagou Self-Defense Force also had its own arrogance. Although they had not experienced actual combat, they could not bear such an insult. A few of them roared with hot tempers and rushed towards the Zhujian Camp.
"Puff puff……"
The sound of arrows entering the body was heard, and those people were immediately shot into hedgehogs by the arrows and fell to the ground in a pool of blood.
No matter how powerful Tai Chi is, we are all made of flesh and blood and cannot stop the arrows at all.
The Chenjiagou Self-Defense Force are all from the mountains. They have never been out in their lives and have never seen such a powerful weapon. Compared with the bows they use for hunting, they are simply not on the same level.
Fear from the unknown, life was at stake, and everyone surrendered one after another.
The purpose of the Chenjiagou Self-Defense Force is to fight against thieves and bandits. These are ragtag groups without formal training. Tai Chi is enough to deal with them.
When encountering a well-equipped regular army and facing the astonishingly powerful arrows, there is no chance of getting close, so Tai Chi is not enough.
If there were only a few slug arrows, everyone could still give it a try. Faced with more than 70 slug arrows, resisting would mean death. Having learned from the past, everyone had no choice but to surrender.
Dozens of surrendered Self-Defense Forces were kidnapped and taken to see Dewey.
Seeing that the Self-Defense Forces had surrendered, Dewey no longer had any scruples and said:
"Captain Hu, Captain Liu, and Captain Wang, please bring people to gather all the villagers in Chenjiagou first. I will come and check to see if there are any rebel comrades. If there is resistance, they will be killed without mercy."
Captain Hu, Captain Liu, and Captain Wang led their respective teams to drive away the villagers from house to house.
None of the villagers resisted, but the villagers who were driven over were all old, weak, women and children. There were no young men and only a dozen young women.
Chenjiagou is quite big. There are nearly a thousand old and weak women and children, but there are no young men. Even a fool will find something wrong.
Dewey was not a fool and did not miss this detail. He grabbed an old man and asked:
"Where are the young people in your village?"
The old man pointed at the self-defense forces who were tied up and said:
"They are."
Dewey almost laughed out of anger and said:
"A village as big as yours only has a few young people?"
The old man said:
"The imperial court wants to take back the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun and recruit troops on a large scale. Everyone else will join the army."
Although the imperial court conscripted troops, it would not be so thorough. Dewey suppressed his doubts and asked again:
"Where are the young women in your village? Just these few crooked melons and cracked dates?"
The young women in Chenjiagou all have strange looks. They are either dark, skinny, fierce-looking, full of fangs, or mighty and majestic. None of them are decent.
Dewey's only son was gone, and he wanted to marry a few more children and have a few fat boys. When he saw these more than ten strange-looking girls, he really couldn't do it.
The old man said:
"Chenjiagou is so poor that girls don't want to stay here and marry in the city."
Dewey asked a few more people to ask, and no matter how coerced or induced, the answers he got were the same, and he couldn't help but not believe them.
Dewey said to Du Jiajun:
"I originally wanted to find a few beautiful girls for you, but that's all. Just close your eyes and make do with it."
Next, Dewey announced the charges against Chen San and Chen Changxing, causing villagers to rush to report their whereabouts.
Before Chen San and Chen Changxing were found, one villager was killed every day as punishment. If they resisted, their entire family would be destroyed. No chickens or dogs would be left alive. The anger in the hearts of the villagers was ignited.
