Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 35
Suddenly, an exclamation broke the silence of the county town. It was so far away that I couldn't hear what it was called. I just felt that the cry was quite anxious and frightening, like a bird whose wings had been twisted and a piece of neck had been pulled out. A small pinch of hair, and a chicken with a bowl of salt water and a sharp kitchen knife in front of it!Then, the sound of clappers rang, bang dang bang——quick and urgent, which frightened the dogs in the county to bark wildly.The sounds of clappers, dogs barking, and doors and windows opening sounded like a pot of porridge, chaotic and noisy, and a sound distorted by fear came from a distance. It was not very real, but it was like a thunder that exploded in the ear, shaking the county. The adults almost lost their minds: "Jianu is here! Jianu is here!" The watchman and the patrolling yamen servants shouted wildly: "Jianu is here! Jianu is here!" Immediately exclaimed and cried Shouts rang out, and the atmosphere was chaotic and flustered. Houjin was notorious in the Gyeonggi area. In the eyes of ordinary people, those Houjin soldiers with braids were simply devils who ate people without spitting out their bones. I heard that Jiannu was coming. Suddenly feel that the sky is falling!

Fang Yizhi only felt that his eyes were darkened, and he wanted to stand up unsteadily, but his limbs were weak and his legs were weak, and he sat back limply, speechless.God played him really hard. Yang Menglong's arrival brought him a big awakening, let him see the hope of turning over, but also brought him a disaster, let him see that he reported to the ancestral grave early, "Hope" who has been promoted two levels in a row in the coffin, God, you are so kind to someone on our side!
Yang Menglong was sleeping soundly with Yinzi in his arms. He was awakened by the deafening sound of clappers. He opened his eyes and pricked up his ears, and heard the cries outside one after another. In a cold sweat, he sat up for a while, put on his clothes, put on his boots and rushed out, almost bumping into Xiao Yufang... Cough, if he knew that the Tianxian princess was running to his room in a panic , he will definitely bump into it "accidentally".He grabbed Xiao Yufang and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Yufang's pretty face turned pale with fright, and she couldn't even speak clearly: "Jian... Jianu is here! Did you hear that? Jianu is here!"

Yang Menglong said in his heart: "Nonsense, that roar almost knocked the sky down, how could I not know!" But he said grinningly: "I heard it, isn't it just a few Jiannu who came to die, how old are you?" What’s the matter!?”

Seeing his indifference, Xiao Yufang calmed down a bit, and asked, "What should we do now? I thought it would be safer to hide in the county town, but I didn't expect Jianu to chase after us as soon as we arrived..."

Yang Menglong clenched his fists, thumped his chest, and said, "Let us men take care of this trivial matter. You should go back to your room and take good care of Xiaojun." Roaring like a lion at the room where the grandparents of the Qi family lived: "Qi Polu, come out to me! You want to shrink up and be a turtle, don't you?"

Before he finished speaking, the door opened, and Qi Polu strode out with a saber on his waist, with a look of displeasure on his face: "You just want to shrink down and be a tortoise!"

Yang Menglong chuckled: "It's fine if you don't want to be a tortoise. In fact, with me, even if you want to be a tortoise, you can't be a tortoise... Let's go, let's go to the city wall to have a look!" Without further ado, he grabbed Qi Polu and went to the city wall while running.At this time, the situation in the city was chaotic. Men, women, old and children panicked and ran wildly. The cries of "Jian slaves are coming" were like a tsunami. There was a fire, and in the billowing thick smoke and fire, figures surged, and the situation became more and more chaotic.Qi Polu was hit hard and almost fell down. He glared angrily at the person who bumped him, and only saw the back of a man in a tattered mandarin duck suit.It was a soldier. The man’s weapon had been thrown somewhere, and his two feet were flying up and down. , His corporal chief was running, and the chief was also running. A large group of soldiers were running happily, screaming and throwing themselves into it. At this time, they didn't even see the shadow of Houjin's army!
Qi Polu curled his lips: "I ran away in fright without even seeing the enemy's shadow, you bastard! If this kind of thing was in our Qi's army, he would have been beheaded for public display, so there is no place for them to shout here It's called disturbing the morale of the army!"

Yang Menglong struggled to fend off several civilians who were rushing towards him, shouting: "Come on, come on, I know that your Qi army is very disciplined and awesome. Let's go! If you stay here any longer, you will be trampled to death by them! Damn it, It is said that there is a Xiongbing group, but this time I met the Xiongbing group!"

After a lot of effort, the two guys finally escaped from the chaotic flow of people and squeezed onto the city wall.The city wall was also in a mess, and many of the crenels had been emptied, leaving only weapons scattered all over the place.Those who barely stayed there were also trembling, scurrying back and forth like headless chickens.Looking at these soldiers, Yang Menglong was speechless for a while. Is there any word "military discipline" in the dictionaries of these uncles?No, the military discipline in the Ming Dynasty was very strict. They were beaten with military sticks, stuck with arrows, cut off noses, and even beheaded for making random noises. But... such strict military discipline could not control these bear soldiers!He couldn't help but exclaim: "How did the Ming Dynasty raise troops? It's easy to produce one or two bear soldiers like this, but it's difficult to have an entire army like this, right? You actually did it, I admire you, I admire you! "He picked up two shields, handed one to Qi Polu, and carefully covered the vital parts of his head and chest with the other. He carefully poked his head out, oh, good guy, there are hundreds of cavalry just three hundred steps outside the city gate. There was a towering formation, with torches flickering, reflecting the cold light of the armor. The cold wind stretched the flames to lengthen and shorten, and the ugly faces flickered in and out, like a group of people emerging from hell. Fierce ghost.

Qi Polu glanced at it, and said firmly: "One Niulu, at most one Niulu's troops, even if they all grow steel teeth, they still can't eat the county town. Jiannu's attacking ability is very poor."

Yang Menglong smiled wryly and pointed to the soldiers who were still in a mess: "I don't think so, no matter how strong the city wall is, someone must guard it? Look at their current appearance, can they hold it?"

Qi Polu made a slaughtering gesture: "Shall we take one or two of them and shock them?"

Yang Menglong was shocked: "Don't act recklessly, these are not your subordinates, you can chop them if you want?"

Qi Polu hated that iron cannot be made into steel: "But if you don't do this, there is no way to calm them down!"

Yang Menglong said, "Let's have a look again."

A soldier in his 40s ran past in a hurry, and saw the two little ghosts calmly commenting on the Golden Cavalry who was watching hundreds of steps away, he couldn't believe his eyes, called : "Are you still waiting here to die? Jiannu is about to attack, if you don't run away, you will die!"

Yang Menglong said: "I'm afraid of birds. Is it possible that Jiannu can grow wings and fly up the city wall?"

A majestic voice sounded: "That's right, Jianu hasn't grown wings yet, they can't fly up!"

Everyone was startled, and turned their heads to see, ouch, Fang Yizhi and Zhang Qianhu came together, both with gloomy faces, staring at them soldiers in a mess, wanting to kill them (understandable. ).Fang Yizhi shouted loudly: "Soldiers in this county, listen up, Jiannu don't have siege equipment, they can't get up! You go back to the city wall immediately, and those who run around will be severely punished!"

This one is quite elegant, but Zhang Qianhu doesn't have such a good temper. With a swipe, he drew out his sword, slashed through the air, and shouted sharply, "His grandma, why are you panicking? Jianu hasn't moved yet!" You will be in a mess, shame, shame! Go back to your place immediately, and anyone who dares to stir up trouble will be killed immediately!" Several servants also drew their knives out of their sheaths one after another, warning those following with their gleaming steel knives and icy eyes Soldier like a headless chicken: Master Qianhu is not joking!
Under the threat of the steel sword, the soldiers returned to their positions in fear. Although it was scary to build slaves, they were still outside the city after all, but the servants' steel swords were placed on their necks...

Yang Menglong hurried over and called, "Master Fang, Master Zhang, are you here too?"

Fang Yizhi smiled wryly: "Such a big incident has happened, as the parent officer of this county, how could Fang not come!"

Yang Menglong said: "It's not a big deal, but it's just a few hundred Jian slaves, nothing can change the sky." He grew up watching movies like "Three Great Battles" and was used to capital pens. I didn't pay attention to this small scene, hundreds of people, damn, the Shanxi miners' fighting is more than this scale!
Yang Menglong didn't think it was a big deal, but Fang Yizhi and Zhang Qianhu didn't think so. In their view, the hundreds of post-gold cavalry were already a very terrifying force. After all, the shadow of the post-gold army on their hearts was really too big.Fang Yizhi could only smile wryly at Yang Menglong's ignorant nonsense, while Zhang Qianhu couldn't understand Yang Menglong's arrogance, and sneered, "Young master Yang is so confident, he must have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Yang Menglong snorted: "It's just these few Miao people, why do we need to think about how to defeat the enemy? I can play them to death casually!"

Zhang Qianhu showed a trace of mockery: "Oh? I don't know what good plan the young master has?"

Yang Menglong said: "It's useless to tell you, and you won't hand over the army to my command..."

Nonsense, hand over the army to you to command me, what will I eat?

Zhang Qianhu was just about to mock Yang Menglong's IQ when he heard the sound of horse hooves. A man and a horse were galloping towards him. In the blink of an eye, they were already a hundred paces away. The sound was like a loud bell: "Listen, you smart dogs in the city, we They are the real warriors of Tabulun Ezhen under the banner of Xianglan Banner! You killed more than a dozen of our warriors and brutally cut off their heads. We are really angry and came here to recover this blood debt from you! We I know that the person who killed those warriors is in the city. You are required to hand over the murderer within half an hour and offer fifty beauties, 5000 taels of silver, 500 taels of gold, and [-] shi of food as compensation, otherwise we will I will raze the entire county to the ground and kill you all without leaving a trace!"

Fang Yizhi groaned secretly, it really was the fault of those leaders!This kid Yang Menglong killed someone outside the city and hid in the city. Jiannu came after him, what should I do!On the other hand, Zhang Qianhu kept looking at Yang Menglong, his expression was uncertain, as if he was considering whether to throw him down to seek peace.Yang Menglong didn't pay attention to what the two big men behind were thinking. He laughed loudly, poked his head out and called, "Jianu below, listen, I killed your people, come up to me if you have the ability to settle accounts with me!"

The knight stared at Yang Menglong and asked, "May I ask your surname?"

Yang Menglong said: "I, Yang Menglong! That white-armored soldier of yours was hacked to death by me. Remember, it was me who hacked him to death. Don't find the wrong person when seeking revenge!"

The knight was at a loss. He had never heard of such a person at all. Where did he come from?However, the arrogant warrior of the Eight Banners didn't take Yang Menglong seriously at all, and said with a smirk, "Your Excellency is admirable for your courage, but you have more than a dozen of us in your hand to pay your debts and pay your life." Human life, how do you plan to pay it back?"

Yang Menglong simply threw away the shield, put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly: "Hahaha... debts are repaid, murders are paid for their lives... funny, funny! May I ask how many civilians you have slaughtered since you entered the bandits? May I ask yours? How many Han people have been slaughtered in Liaodong by Wild Boar since he raised his army? How dare you talk about killing people for life? If you really want to kill people for life, the death of your whole family will not be enough to pay for a fraction of it! People all over the world can do it You are the only ones who are not qualified to say that murder pays for life, and you will never be qualified!"

Fang Yizhi's mind was shaken, and he said loudly: "Young Master Yang is right, you and the Tartars are brutal and bloodthirsty, almost slaughtering the Han people in Liaodong, and they made more progress and invaded the capital, so that the mourners in Beizhili flowed into rivers of blood. What right do you have to tell us that murder pays for life!? You still have the face to ask us for money, food and beautiful women? This county can tell you, no! Even if there is, it will not be given to you!"

Yang Menglong said: "Yes, even if I have it, I won't give it to you, go back to your hometown and eat shit!"

Such vulgar words made Fang Yizhi frowned and lost his appetite, but just in response to the appetite of those soldiers, a few boldly laughed and shouted: "Yes, even if there is, I won't give it to you, go back Go eat shit at your hometown!"

The distance between the two sides was only a few hundred steps, and it was late at night, and the sound was transmitted very far. The Houjin soldiers heard it clearly, and there was no need for simultaneous translation. Just listening to the rampant laughter of the soldiers of the Ming army knew that it was nothing. Good words, they were so angry that they yelled and hit the shield with their weapons, making a bang sound, a sharp murderous aura burst out from them, and the temperature plummeted!Sensing this terrifying aura, the smiles of the soldiers of the Ming army froze.

In any case, the Post-Golden Eight Banners has always been the most terrifying military force in East Asia in this era, none of them.
