Chapter 18: Death in the waves, the leader of many wise stars

Report to the big boss: "Wu Qi has led more than 100 main rebel forces to join forces with the second boss to attack Wujiang County."

Lang Lifei laughed: "So now there are only a few dozen old and weak people left on the Divine Turtle Island. Brothers, follow me. This time we will destroy the Divine Turtle Island in one fell swoop. Let's grab the money and share the women!"

For a time, the morale of the water bandits under "Langli Fei" was high and they shouted: "Grab money, rob food, rob women"

Soon after, "Langli Fei" led nearly 200 water bandits under his command and quietly lurked in the reeds near Divine Turtle Island.

Zhi Duoxing said: "Brother, the terrain of this Divine Turtle Island is quite dangerous. Although Wu Qi's main force has been lured to Wujiang City by us, and they must never return, they must still have some people to guard them.

We have firearms and a strong attack will inevitably cause heavy casualties, so it’s better for us to outsmart them.”

Soon after, several brothers of "Langli Fei" came to the mountain village of Turtle Island to report the news.

Only a few water bandits with disheveled clothes and multiple injuries said: "Something bad has happened. After our rebel army entered Wujiang County, it was surrounded by a large number of Qing soldiers. The situation is critical. We are waiting to break out of the siege and come here to report the news. Please also ask the master to hurry up."

Send troops to rescue quickly. If it’s too late, it may be too late!”

"Haha, Military Advisor Xia has seen through this trick a long time ago and captured them."

"Langli Fei" never saw the reinforcements sent from Turtle Island, so he began to murmur in his heart and asked: "Have they figured it out?"

However, "Zhiduoxing" said calmly: "It seems that there are not many people left on the Divine Turtle Island, so we dare not send troops to rescue. No problem, we will wait patiently for a while, and when we see the signal to open the village gate, we will go straight in."

"Master, look at the village gate and the torch."

The third master said excitedly: "Brother, it seems that the brothers who entered have succeeded. Open the gate of the village. Brothers, follow me in quickly."

The gate of the village was wide open, and "Langli Fei" took the lead and led all the water bandits into the village.

Suddenly the gate of the village was closed, and countless torches lit up on the walls of the village.

Xia Wanchun said: "Master Langlifei is fine. Why didn't he go to Wujiang for rescue instead of coming to our Divine Turtle Island?"

"It's not good that we fell into the trap, but it doesn't matter. There is only a group of old and weak people in their village. Brothers, come on over to me and capture Xia Wanchun first." After that, "Langli Fei" took the lead and came over to kill.

Bump, bump, bump!!!! At this moment, there was only a burst of smoke, and Langli Fei, who was leading the way, was hit by several muskets and fell to the ground.

Before the other thieves could react, there was another burst of gunfire, and more than a dozen gangsters behind him were shot one after another. At this time, the first wave of henchmen who followed "Langli Fei" and rushed up were all shot, and the ground was wailing!

In fact, Xia Wanchun and his group only had more than 50 strong men, and the rest were all men, women and children holding torches!

However, at this time, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and these water bandits were already frightened. They could still see so clearly. They saw hundreds of people surrounding them. The remaining water bandits stopped in place, not daring to move forward.

Rushed.

At this time, Xia Wanchun shouted: "Lang Lifei is dead, put down your weapons, disarm and do not kill!!!"

Everyone shouted in unison:

"Disarm without killing!!!"

"Disarm without killing!!!"

"Disarm without killing!!!"

Seeing that the situation was over, "Zhiduoxing" immediately shouted: "Xia Junshang, we have all been threatened by "Langli Fei", don't take action, we are willing to submit to the rebels and fight against the Qing together!"

The water bandits put down their weapons one after another. Of course, there was also a desperate bandit who wanted to rush out of the village gate and escape. Huang Yu, the captain of the fire gun team, casually fired the gun. This man immediately followed in the footsteps of "Lang Li Fei".

After daybreak, Wu Qi and Weng Zhiheng had already raided Feiying Island, the home of "Langli Fei". Except for a few of Lang Lifei's cronies who resisted and were killed, the rest all surrendered!

The rebel army's attack was a fruitful one. They attacked Taicang and Kunshan counties. They raided the treasury and got a remaining 70,000 taels of silver. The 100,000 taels saved by Langli Fei's years of burning, killing and looting were also contributed to the rebel army.

There is a lot of grain in the Taicang granary, but unfortunately it cannot be transported back to the village and can only be burned on the spot!

However, for the time being, the rebels don't have to worry about food. With Lang Lifei's contribution, plus the food that Qian Buer brought to the island before, the Taihu Rebels now have 8,000 shi in stock. Although most of Langli Fei's men have taken back the rebels this time,

But now, including family members, there are only about 700 people on the island. According to the highest standard of 1.5 shi per soldier per month in the Ming Dynasty, this is enough to feed the current military and civilians on the island for a year and a half.

Wu Qi said: "Zhiduoxing, you didn't expect that I was still alive, did you?"

Zhiduoxing quickly explained: "Chief Wu has misunderstood. This was not my idea. It was all "Langli Fei" who plotted the money from Turtle Island, so he secretly communicated with the Qing army. Leader Wu has his own destiny.

"

Wu Qize said: "But this time, thanks to you, you helped us transfer all the Qing troops to Wujiang, and we were able to easily attack Taicang and Kunshan. I guess the Qing court is already offering a reward for your head at this moment!"

"Zhi Duo Xing" looked at Weng Zhiheng and said, "Second brother, please beg for mercy for me. They can't give me to the Qing court?"

Weng Zhiheng was furious: "You are a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is unjust for the sake of profit. Over the years, you have come up with so many bad ideas, done so many things that are harmful to the world, and you have made so many plans to exclude me. Yet you still have the nerve to let me give you the money."

plead?"

Xia Wanchun said: "It is indeed a good idea to hand you over to the Qing court. Don't worry, we have a use for your head, and you have redeemed yourself!"

Seeing that he was certain to die, "Zhiduoxing" began to curse: "You little water bandits still want to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Sooner or later, you will be arrested by the officers and soldiers. Xia Wanchun, you will definitely end up worse than your father and teacher. You were arrested before

This is the news I reported to the court, hahaha!"

Xia Wanchun: "You are really unrepentant. Someone drags you out and chops me up!"
