There was the sound of wind and rain, and the whole city was filled with the sounds of chickens and dogs jumping, shouting, fighting, and killing.
Jiang Yitao was inside the west gate of the city. He frowned when he heard the killings on the city. Although he didn't know what the battle was like above, a chill rose from the soles of his feet. He had previously said that there were only two people on the city, but he had sent more than thirty people. We went up and fought for a long time but we still couldn't capture it. Who on earth could be so fierce?
Also, he had just seen from the crack of the city gate that there were dozens of people riding outside, shouting and shouting. The tall men on the horses had fierce expressions on their faces, so it would be easy to let these people enter the city.
Therefore, we must guard the west gate and not let the vicious men who rush in seize it. As for the other gates, he has already blocked them with stones.
He was careless, he was still careless. Jiang Yitao was extremely annoyed. He considered himself cautious by nature. In a few months, he managed this small town like an iron wall. It was impossible to break through the city without thousands of people bombarding him indiscriminately for three to five days.
However... just because of the heavy rain in the past two days, the patrol posts in the city were slightly lax... and someone took advantage of it. But if there were ordinary thieves, let alone three or five, even if they came up to thirty or fifty, they wouldn't be able to cause much trouble. , but... at this time, the city was filled with smoke and smoke caused by a few people.
Who are these people? Jiang Yitao wanted to catch someone alive to solve his doubts. However, his subordinates were not strong enough. The two on the top of the city were not taken care of, and there were two more who were scurrying around in the city. It seemed like I had been chasing him for nearly a stick of incense, but not even a single hair could be picked out by him.
Most of the less than a hundred people in the city were assigned to capture and kill the intruders on the city and at the top of the city. At this time, there were only about ten people left guarding the west gate with him.
"Head, we're chasing you again, we're chasing you," a bandit soldier standing outside the doorway suddenly shouted loudly. Jiang Yitao crossed his legs and rode out of the doorway. Looking in the direction of the thief's finger, he saw due east in the distance. Three riders came running along the city wall, followed by four big men.
"It's so damn shameful that a horseman can be chased by someone with bare feet!" Jiang Yitao couldn't see clearly because of the heavy rain and thought his men were being chased by those thieves. He gritted his teeth angrily, but he soon felt No, the intelligence said that there were only two people in the city, so why were four people pursuing him? And the three people on horseback, hey, were not his men!
"Quick, quick, quick, it's those thieves." Jiang Yitao was frightened and quickly shouted to his men to intercept them. He also shouted to the archers on the house opposite the city gate: "Set the arrows, shoot the arrows, shoot them to death..." "
More than ten thieves in the doorway asked when the thief was approaching. The criminals rushed out of the doorway to greet them, while the archers on the private houses also shot at the three horsemen with their bows.
Chang Yu's three cavalrymen are still nearly a hundred meters away from the city gate. The rebels' bows and arrows are weak at this point and they can be easily chopped away by raising their swords: "Wuzhong, Master Qiao, you two go and seize the gate!" Chang Yu said as he spoke He fired several bows at the archers on the houses near the city gate. He was powerful and accurate. He only ran for more than ten steps and shot down several people. The remaining thieves were so frightened that the archers rolled down the roof to hide. Looking at him, Jiang Yitao at the gate of the city was so frightened that his face was livid, his arrow skills were so accurate.
But at this time, he could no longer think too much. The three cavalrymen had already rushed forward. Jiang Yitao shouted loudly and raised his sword to strike at the first cavalryman: "What kind of thief dares to touch the soil on Tai Sui's head..."
Jiang Yitao used a sword that was long and sharp, but he was facing Wuzhong.
Wuzhong still uses his ancestral sword, which looks like a guillotine. It is only a little longer and wider than an ordinary steel knife, but its size is far smaller than the long sword used for fighting on the battlefield.
But just such an ordinary-looking guillotine actually knocked Jiang Yitao off his horse and fell heavily into the muddy water. He rolled around and tried to escape, but Wuzhong rushed over on horseback and chopped him off with a single blow.
Over there, Qiao Sanxiu has been surrounded by more than ten thieves. Although he is not as brave as Wuzhong, he has followed Chang Yu around and has developed a fighting ability on the battlefield. He rushes left and right in the crowd with his horse and slashes with his sword.
The dozen or so thieves were also very ferocious. Perhaps they knew that if they were to capture the door, they would have no chance of survival, so they attacked ruthlessly. Moreover, they were too involved and did not realize that their leader had been chopped off his horse and fainted to death with one move.
After Chang Yu shot the archers, he saw more than ten people going crazy and surrounding him. Qiao Sanxiu was about to come over to help in the battle. Suddenly, he heard shouts of killing behind him. When he turned to look, he saw more than ten thieves running down the ramp of the upper city. He felt in his heart Suddenly, they were shocked. Could it be that Chen Wangting and others... were about to turn around and kill, when the four personal guards behind them rushed to the front and blocked the dozen thieves and began to fight.
On the other side of the city gate, Wuzhong had already helped Qiao Sanxiu out of the siege in the killing formation. Chang Yu was worried about Chen Wangting and the others. He was about to draw his bow and suppress it from a distance and ran towards the city, but found that his quiver was empty. He couldn't help but cursed and threw his bow away. After throwing away the sword and about to rush over, he heard Chen Wangting's shouts. When he took a closer look, he found that he, Song Luoshu and several personal guards were chasing the rebels down the city. He couldn't help but feel relieved. It turned out that the rebels were rushing down. It was not to defend the city gate, but to escape downwards after being unable to block the attack of several people...
Chang Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the others were safe. He rode towards the city gate and struck one person down with his sword. Before he could swing his sword again, the remaining thieves ran away. Wu Zhong and Qiao Sanxiu chased after them. He shouted: "Chase me and open the city gate!"
Only then did the two people react. They rushed to the door and unbolted the door. Dozens of horsemen swarmed into the city. They saw Chang Yu and the others leaning against the wall, panting heavily. Kuang Ren was about to dismount from his horse and greet them, but Chang Yu shouted: "There are still more thieves." No one will be arrested in the whole city!"
Kuang Ren and the Chen brothers did not dare to neglect and led their troops into the city. They sent a group of people to guard the city, and the rest of the troops began to hunt them down: "Within a stick of incense, you voluntarily abandoned your weapons and surrendered, and you will not wait if you are late!"
Chang Yu and the other three were exhausted and sat in the doorway, panting and laughing at each other. All three of them had several stab wounds, and the blood gushing out was very frightening. Qiao Sanxiu wanted to get up and bandage Chang Yu, but found that he had lost his strength and could not move. , Wu Zhong could barely stand up with the knife, and cursed: "What the hell, I didn't feel tired at all just now, why can't I lift my legs now..." Chang Yu covered the wound on his arm and laughed loudly. Laughing, he knew that during the fierce battle, he was too focused and nervous. In addition, they had been running in the city for a long time. It was normal for them to relax and lose strength at this time.
"Don't move. The Governor doesn't need you to bandage it. Just take care of yourself first." As he said this, he tore open the corner of his clothes and prepared to prick his arm to stop the bleeding. Wu Zhong sighed and sat down again: "Aren't you going to bandage the Governor?" , I want the Governor to help me prick it." Qiao Sanxiu burst into laughter and gritted her teeth in severe pain from the wounds all over her body.
At this moment, the gate of the city dimmed, and two figures walked in: "Master, do you need help?" It turned out to be the salt dealer and the victim.
Chang Yu was surprised that these two people didn't take advantage of the chaos and ran away. He raised his head and glanced at the two of them: "Close the door." He winked at Wuzhong and told him to be careful not to kill them suddenly. Shi Qiao Sanxiu was out of strength and unable to move, and he and Wu Zhong were also exhausted and weak. It would be very troublesome if they attacked suddenly, but if they were prepared to prevent the opponent from succeeding, the chance of success would be slim.
However, the victim and the salt dealer were very well-behaved. They closed the city gate and inserted the door, then carefully walked to Chang Yu and squatted down: "Master, let me wrap it up for you." After saying that, he tore off his clothes. He opened a few strips of cloth for Chang Yu to wrap up briefly, and when he was about to bandage Wuzhong and Qiao Sanxiu, he saw a group of people walking in, but it was Chen Wangting, Song Luoshu and several personal guards who participated in the battle. They were also all wet at this time. Toru's body was covered with blood from the knife edge.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry over and help your official to tie it up?" Wuzhong scolded the victim. The two of them hurriedly helped Chen Wangting and others to the corner and began to bandage their wounds.
"Master Chen, are you okay?" Chang Yu regained some strength and turned around to look at Chen Wangting.
"Hey, I can't die, but I've been stabbed at least a dozen times. If it weren't for the leather armor that protected my vitals, I might still be here today." Chen Wangting chuckled, and couldn't help but sigh: "Thieves here Very unusually fierce."
Chang Yu hummed: "This is one-third of an acre of land owned by Wang Yi'en. There may be treasures buried there. It wouldn't be surprising to leave some fierce people to guard it." Then he looked at the guards and said, "Are you brothers?"
"No, I'm still panting." The guard named Hu Zi chuckled. Chang Yu breathed a long sigh of relief and felt a little proud. This fighting lasted for nearly half an hour, but it was extremely brutal against more than a hundred thieves. The army itself participated in the war, but not one of the twelve people was killed. It was really fought with hard swords and guns. Even in this era of cold weapons, it is definitely an awesome thing!
This is an era that relies on bravery, toughness, and cold weapons to fight bravely. The fight is about who is more brave and who is more ruthless, rather than the later generations who can take down an entire city with a gun, which is too low-tech.
Chang Yu likes this kind of victory achieved through bloodshed, it feels very fulfilling!
The victim and the salt dealer took off their coats, tore pieces of city cloth, and bandaged everyone one by one. As soon as they finished their work, Chen Suole came with a man and two carriages: "Governor, the county government Cleared".
"Have the thieves been eliminated?" Chang Yu was helped into the car by his guards and he did not forget to ask about the suppression.
"More than ten people have been arrested, and there are still more than ten who are at large and are being apprehended." Chen Suole patted his chest: "Don't worry, Governor, I will dig three feet into the ground to catch them."
Chang Yu hummed, and when he was about to lower the car curtain, he suddenly saw a man lying at the gate of the city struggling to get up, and frowned: "Who is that guy?"
"Earlier, a thief who was riding a horse at the city gate was chopped down and hit by me with a knife, but he is still alive." While Wuzhong was talking, Chen Suole had already gone to see the man, and saw that the man had a head injury but was still alive. He drew his knife and was about to chop him off, but Chang Yu stopped him: "Tie him up and send him to the Yamen."
It must be said that Chen Suole was very considerate. When Chang Yu and his party arrived at the Yamen, several famous doctors in the city had been waiting for a long time. They quickly examined the wounds carefully, applied medicine to stop the bleeding and sutured them according to Chang Yu's request. The doctor was exhausted and sweating profusely, but he was still impressed. These twelve people had at least ten wounds on their bodies. They were really fierce!
Chen Wangting and the others almost stayed up all night. After this fight and the stab wounds, they were exhausted and fell asleep while being bandaged. Chang Yu, who was unusual in that he had recovered most of his physical strength and was very energetic. It was very surprising that Chen Wangting and others He was sent to the backyard to rest, but he started chatting with several old Chinese medicine practitioners in the lobby. The more he talked, the more dumbfounded he became.
There was no county magistrate in Zhide County at this time. The earlier one had been killed by the rebels. Also killed with him were the county magistrate, the chief registrar and some squires in the city. It can be said that almost all the officials in the yamen were detained, and After killing him, he did not find another puppet. All matters in the city were handled by Jiang Yitao.
This is the rhythm of becoming a city lord!
Who is Jiang Yitao? He is the guy who was knocked unconscious by Wuzhong and died near the city gate. At this time, he has woken up leisurely and his wounds have been treated, but he is still tied up with five flowers.
Seeing an imposing young man sitting in his own special seat in the lobby, Jiang Yitao was filled with doubts, "Who are you? Which hilltop are you from? Do you know that you have caused a big disaster!"
Chang Yu turned his head and looked at Chen Suole next to him, and the two of them couldn't help but smile: "I'm a big mountain, I'll scare you to death if I tell you."
Jiang Yitao snorted and said with disdain: "No matter how powerful you are these days, can you surpass King Chuang?"
Moreover, Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "You are just a bandit." Jiang Yitao was shocked: "You, you are an officer and soldier!"
