"Are you sure it's their family and they're all gone?"
Deep in the dense forest, there are ruins and broken walls. It seems that this place used to be a Buddhist temple named Lanruo.
Although it is deep in a dense forest, there are still winding paths that can be used by vehicles and horses.
Because, among the ruins, there are dozens of horses eating beans.
There are bows, arrows, and swords and guns hung on the horses.
There was a fire not far from the horse. There was a pot on the fire, and there was meat in the pot. Next to it was a man who was inserting a knife into the meat and tearing it into pieces.
While biting, he passed around the sheepskin bag in his hand and took a sip of the wine from time to time.
These men all have one characteristic, they are tall and strong, with messy beards and hair all over their heads, making them look rough and tough.
The person who asked the question was a man with a scar on his face.
He was piercing the meat with a knife. The meat was not cooked well enough, but Scar seemed to like it. It tasted chewy.
He asked while chewing, and he was a little confused when he spoke, but when he spoke, the legs of the man who came to the city to report the news became a little weak.
This is a horse thief from the north, the kind who kills without batting an eyelid. The reason why he became the messenger is because the people in front of him chopped another person into pieces one by one in front of him.
Then, he was so frightened that he agreed to be the female agent for these horse thieves.
"He is indeed gone, the whole family is gone!"
Faced with the Scar Horse Thief's inquiry, the messenger answered tremblingly.
Next to the fire, an old man with gray hair gently put a few firewood into the fire, and then said: "Boss, do you need to be so cautious?"
Scarface did not raise his head, and after fiercely taking a bite of meat, he said in a somewhat cryptic voice:
“When I went into the city to investigate, I found out that… there is probably only one family in the city who knows how to handle horses and cavalry!
That day when he went to the city to sell horses, no one in the entire county realized that the horse was not seriously injured for most of the day. It was a good horse after trimming its hooves and putting on horseshoes.
It's a pity that such a good northern horse has broken hooves, so it can only be killed and eaten for meat. And the price I want is so high that I can't get back the money by killing it for meat.
So the horse never sold.
I originally thought that no one in the entire county knew anything about horses. If you didn't know horses, you wouldn't understand the terror of cavalry.
At that time, more than 30 of us on fast horses will suddenly attack a county town. We should be able to control it with our hands, and there will be few casualties.
But I didn’t expect that there are still capable people after all.
Even though he knew that the horse's hooves were cracked and the selling price was too high to make enough money by killing the horse and eating its meat, the old man still took the horse without thinking.
Obviously, he knew that the cracked hoof was not harmful to the horse and he could just repair the hoof.
Sure enough, the people I left behind later saw him go to the blacksmith shop and order horseshoes.
It's already obvious, he knows horses!
Later, I asked about it again, and I was shocked when I asked about it.
The people in that family are not simple!
There used to be a young man in that family who was twenty years old. He was the head of the county government and was very capable.
It is said that he is capable of slaying demons and ghosts, and he also knows how to deal with horses. This family member definitely knows how to deal with war.
I am thinking about it, this family knows cavalry and is knowledgeable about military affairs. Such a person will definitely be a stumbling block for us to take over the entire county. ….
Last night I was still thinking about finding some way to get rid of this family before attacking the scene.
To avoid trouble when confronting the Yamen soldiers and horses.
But I didn’t expect that this family would travel far away to play again..."
Scarface is thinking, is it too much of a coincidence?
However, the horse thief, who had some gray hair and looked old, didn't think so much: "Even if this family didn't travel far, facing dozens of our cavalry, they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
Boss, the time has come, can we send troops?
If we capture the county seat as soon as possible, I will already be salivating over the rich people in the county seat! "
Scarface horse thief
The look in his eyes suddenly seemed a little sinister: "Boy, you seem to be in a hurry!
If it wasn't like this in the past, what happened today? "
There were more than thirty brothers among them, and before they broke down the kiln, how could the second brother have ever been so anxious?
As bandits and robbers, you must memorize the rules when gathering together. Of course, the most important thing for surviving in the avalanche of swords and swords is to have a good eye.
The scar-faced horse thief is still very confident at this point.
Therefore, he saw the abnormality of the second child!
The second child smoothed his gray hair and said confidently: "Let's take people's money and do things for them. Let's finish the work quickly, close up the last bit, and go back to the north."
The south is sultry and uncomfortable!
Besides, the humidity in the south is heavy, and our horses and people can’t stand it!
How many tea bricks have been used to regulate the stomach of the horse! "
These words reached the hearts of the other brothers. They were skilled in martial arts and physically strong, but they were a little acclimatized.
But horses can’t do that!
If it were not for the soil brought from the north and the water boiled with the tea leaves for the horse to drink, I am afraid that the horse would have died of diarrhea long ago.
Therefore, in this era, northerners should not go south unless necessary!
Therefore, what the second child said basically reached the hearts of the other horse thieves, and also made the boss a little less suspicious.
"Everyone thinks it's time?"
The scar-faced horse thief looked at all his men. Although everyone agreed with the second child's idea, no one nodded.
They are horse thieves, they don’t vote, they only look at authority!
The authority of their group of horse thieves is the scarred-faced horse-thief leader. No matter whether other people's opinions are good or bad, only the scarred-faced horse-thief leader can make the final decision.
Scarface nodded with satisfaction after seeing everyone's reaction: "In that case, let's fight!
However, cavalry siege has not been a strong point since ancient times. Just like the eagle catching the mantis, it is not easy to attack!
Therefore, what we have to do is to launch a sudden attack and kill him with one blow!
You can't be sloppy. Do you understand? "
More than 30 horse thieves stood up solemnly and all responded: "Yes!"
This move has some rules and regulations in the army. It can be seen that these horse thieves are not simple.
The scar-faced horse thief leader secretly sighed inwardly. In fact, his idea was to wait until the family was far away. He was worried that the other party would try to counterattack.
Although that family is highly skilled in martial arts, how many nails can be hammered into a rotten ship?
They were more than thirty horse thieves, and they had leather armor on their outer robes, and thick clothing on top of the leather armor. It was difficult for ordinary county government officials' arrows to penetrate them, and they were not the standard bows and arrows in the army. Even if they penetrated the leather armor, be careful. It should not cause much harm to the human body. ….
Even if that family was highly skilled in martial arts, they would still hate Northwest when faced with more than 30 armored cavalry.
However, the opponent will definitely pull a few horse boys to support him before he dies. This is what Scarface predicted.
Scar's face resembles that of a tiger.
Creatures like tigers will attack bears if they are extremely hungry. Even if the size of the bear is not much worse than that of the tiger, tigers usually eat bears in the forest, and bears rarely eat tigers.
However, under normal circumstances, the prey selected by the tiger will not be too big or too difficult to handle, and even the more difficult wild boar will not be taken.
Even if you want to hunt wild boar, look for something smaller and easier to handle.
Because the tiger knows that it can avoid getting hurt by wandering alone in the dense forest, so it tries to avoid getting hurt.
There are dangers everywhere in the jungle.
Even if there is no danger, being injured will seriously affect the hunting.
Horse thieves too!
The horse thief is independent from society, just like the tiger is independent from the group of animals.
Horse thieves have enemies everywhere, and so do tigers.
Any loss of strength by the horse thieves would have a huge impact on them, so every time they plundered, Scarface tried his best to
Choose the best time to start.
This time, they chose a county as their target. Although it was a small county, the total number of government officials did not exceed a hundred, of which no more than 60 were civilians and soldiers.
Moreover, these minzhuangs are on duty in separate shifts, which means that if they rush into the city, they will immediately face only half of the total number of minzhuangs.
That is, twenty or thirty people. These twenty or thirty people are also divided into city gates, grain depots, prisons, and some important places.
The first thing they need to deal with is the ten people at the city gate.
Therefore, as long as they rush into the city as quickly as possible, they can kill the ten people guarding the city gate.
As long as they enter the city, who can defeat the thirty or so armored cavalry with the wine bags and rice bags of the county government in the city, even though they are wearing leather armor.
However, when the cavalry enters the city to fight in the streets, what they need is impact and quick victory.
The biggest fear is that some masters will slow down their attack speed and impact. It is not difficult if you have experience.
Therefore, after receiving the job and receiving half of the deposit, they began to inquire for information. They specially used a northern horse with a split hoof to see if there was anyone in the city who knew horses.
If so, then find out the details, because if you know horses, you will usually know military affairs. Also check what status this kind of person has in the city.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he tried it, he caught a big fish!
I had originally decided to assassinate this big fish before taking action, but I didn't expect that the other party actually slipped away first.
He was a very suspicious person, and he originally thought that he would have to inquire more, but what the second brother said directly aroused the eagerness in the hearts of the horse thieves.
Then fight!
The worst case scenario is that you are trapped, so be careful and vigilant, and try not to let the horse thieves lose too much.
At that time, no matter whether the second child has any other ideas today, I can use this matter to suppress his tendency.
As for the loss of experienced horse thieves, although it is more difficult to collect, there are not a few of the border troops in the north who have been left behind, so we can just recruit some more when the time comes.
Guobei County, outside the city. ….
It is an iron rule to close the city gate after dark.
But before dark, there was a period of time when it was dim and yellow, and the lighting was even worse than after dark.
Everything seems to be a bit vague. At this time, the few soldiers guarding the city have already relaxed and are preparing to take over at night.
At this time, they were talking happily about where they would go after work. They didn't like to go to brothels and houses where they spent a lot of money, but there was always the half-opened door in the alley, which was quite popular with them.
Some people also like to roll the dice with a few copper coins after finishing the class, which is a cool and unrestrained image.
Unexpectedly, outside the city, someone was walking slowly under the dusk sky without any cover.
After reaching a certain distance, the dozens of horses began to speed up, and the speed increased by two handfuls of hay per hundred kilometers. The heavy sound of horse hooves had just reached the door. The Minzhuang soldiers guarding the door looked out, and saw dozens of horses rushing towards them. Come.
You have never been in a fight, how do you react when you are suddenly hit?
Confused!
There are ready-made city defenders who have never been attacked, and they are not regular soldiers. They are just soldiers recruited from the civilian population. Faced with such an unexpected situation, they may not have reacted in their minds because they subconsciously do not know how to defend the city. You will think that someone dares to attack the county seat.
[In view of the general environment, some people even think that these cavalry officers and soldiers do not know where they came from.
But there are always people among them who understand and quickly react: "The cavalry is charging, someone wants to attack the city, beat the drums and sound the gongs to close the city gate!"
But at this time, it was already too late to close the city gate. Scarface took the lead. His tall horse, which was completely black and only had four white hooves, hit the horse that was being pushed back desperately by the Minzhuang soldiers, leaving behind On a city gate that can fit a person through.
The force of the impact of the nearly 2,000 kilogram horse was fully reflected in the hoofs of the half-human standing horse. The horseshoes on the horse's hoofs collided with the city gate, making a loud noise.
Minzhuang, who had closed the door, vomited blood and fell to the ground in despair. If the city gate could not be closed, the gate above could not be lowered. Moreover, no one was going up to get the winch frame of the thousand-pound city gate gate.
The methods of the horse thieves were almost merciless. Any civilians they saw, or anyone they saw with weapons in their hands, would rush over and kill them with guns.
Almost everyone shoots with one shot, very fast!
Their killings were like flowing clouds and flowing water, from the open city gate to the inside. They killed not only the people with weapons in their hands, but also all the living men they saw on the street.
Then he went straight to the Yamen!
They are human beings, not demons, nor ghosts and monsters, so they are not afraid of the county government's imperial power. The commission they received is to kill the current county magistrate.
Kill the government officials in the city as well as their captains and arresters.
This is the only thing the other party has entrusted.
But Scarface has a big heart.
Now that the county magistrate has been killed, all the people will be killed and arrested, and as many government officials as possible will be killed.
So, of course, the rich and wealthy people in the city cannot be spared, otherwise their trip will be in vain.
Since Scarface had already stepped on the ground before taking action, now that he has entered the city, what he has to do is to shoot the people first and the horses first, and capture the thieves first and capture the king.
First of all, I went to the Yamen!
When he arrived at the yamen, the county yamen was in chaos, and the county magistrate had just been desperately called from the house behind him.
But at this time, the yamen gate had been trampled open by horses.
Tian Wenliang was horrified to see the scar-faced thief riding a horse in the Yamen Court, and saw from a distance that he had drawn his bow and nocked an arrow.
Tian Wenliang was horrified.
Some people are so frightened that they will collapse to the ground. Even if they are not paralyzed, their legs will be weak or their minds will go blank.
But if some people are afraid to the extreme, they will have the courage to risk everything.
To be honest, Tian Wenliang did neither. He just pulled open the door panel beside him and blocked it in front of him when the bowstring sounded. .
