Chapter 105: When the Golden Cicada is Shelling Again
Needless to say, the stances of Liu Qiong'er, Xu Wukun, and Xu Wuliang, even Su Laochang, who has always sought stability, advocated taking prompt decisions. However, Xu Wujiang still had doubts and looked at Xu Huai and asked:
"What should we do with the children who stay in Shituoling and Jinshagou Village?"
You can't blame him for hesitating, his head is still buzzing.
It was not easy for him to consider these trivial matters; Xu Xin'an, Xu Sihu, Zhou Jianxiong and others had already been so excited by today's events that they could no longer think.
Xu Huai said: "Let Uncle Wu Liang, Zhou Jianxiong, Wu Liangsheng and others go back, and together with Aunt Seventeen, Xin'an and his father, they will evacuate all the children in Shituoling to Jinshagou Village overnight. Xu Wufu feels extremely aggrieved now.
Now, he can still cry out for injustice, find people everywhere to rebuke us for being unkind and unjust, and burn bridges across rivers, but he won't go directly to do anything - the most he can do is to abandon this stronghold and release the traitor army.
We just crossed Qingxi Liuqiao to seize Shituoling. We can fight back in three to five days at most."
Xu Wujiang asked hesitantly: "Your killing spree today will definitely attract the main force of the bandit army to the east bank. Will we be able to successfully fight back in three to five days?"
Xu Huai said categorically: "The bandit army is a mob. No matter how many soldiers and horses there are, they are all in vain. Today's battle has proved everything. They really dare to pull the main force to the east bank of the Baijian River. Together we can gather a thousand people who can fight."
Soldier, I will definitely convince Deng Gui to use all his strength to fight to the death with the bandit army, and those thieves named Zheng Hui, Chen Zixiao will regret being enemies with us for the rest of their lives!"
Seeing that Xu Huai's gestures were already shocking, Xu Wujiang secretly felt that the Xu clan was a real dragon, but seeing that he still looked at him expectantly, he asked with a wry smile:
"You killed more than ten thieves in front of Lutai Village, which has already established your reputation as a fierce warrior in the minds of the younger generation of tribesmen. Today, you killed more than forty thieves, so that Xu Wufu, Xu Wuqi and others did not dare to fight against you.
, you can personally come forward in the name of the Inspection Department to summon the children of the Xu family to join the township camp, and we will definitely cooperate with you fully, why do you have to let me take the lead? "
"..." Xu Huai laughed and said, "If everything in Tongbai Mountain can be solved smoothly, I promised to accompany the leader of the three villages to travel around the world. When the time comes, I can't hand the Xu family back to people like Xu Wufu.
Bar?"
"..." Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Liu Qiong'er wanted to tell them not to listen to Xu Huai's nonsense, but she felt a sense of pleasure in her heart that her vanity was satisfied, and she slightly raised her smooth chin to show her understanding of this matter.
Dismissive.

The poor are struggling to survive, have no dignity in life, and are willing to take risks. How can they not want to go to the countryside to work openly and risk their lives to earn a job that allows them to sell their land and buy a house to support their family and get rewarded for killing thieves?
Even if some of the 400 Xu clan soldiers were unwilling and worried that this sudden change would lead to uncontrollable bad consequences, they could not change the overall situation.
Xu Wuqi, Zhou Jing, Xu Heng, Xu Chen, Xu Xin and others were driven out, and the vacancies left by them were filled directly by Xu Wukun, Xu Xin'an, Xu Sihu, Zhou Jianxiong and others.
There were originally more than 60 defensive infantry and more than 100 horse infantry in Xiemashan and Jinshagou villages. In order to control the situation in Beiqiao Village and prevent Xu Wufu, Xu Wuqi and others from gathering the remaining soldiers after returning to Dazhai,
When clan soldiers attacked, Xu Wujiang and Xu Wujiang urgently transferred more than 50 men and horses into Beiqiao Village.
Most of these troops were also soldiers from the Xu clan, and were directly mixed with Xu clan soldiers in order to achieve better control in a short period of time.
Marching at night would inevitably lead to chaos, but the night was also the best cover, so that Guo Junpan and other bandit chiefs could not see through their true intentions and did not dare to act rashly.
Otherwise, Xu Huai is also worried that things will change if it is too late.
Arrangements were made to cook meat on the stove, and after the five hundred people had a full meal and rest for a while, when the night was darkest, they lit two to three hundred torches for lighting, abandoned Beiqiao Village, and headed directly to Huaiyuan along the dirt road.
Xu Huai killed two hundred thieves on the east bank of Tiighutan, and Guo Junpan was so frightened that he did not dare to leave the village. It was already approaching dusk - at this time, even if the allied forces of the villages wanted to strengthen the defense on the east bank of Baijian River, they would not be able to do so.
I never thought of deploying troops and generals at night.
They all thought that it would not be too late to put off arranging all these matters until the next day; Pan Chenghu, Zhou Tian and other bandit chiefs also led their troops back to their strongholds.
In the early hours of the morning, he heard the scouts on the ridge on the south side galloping back to warn. Guo Junpan personally led a few riders to ride up a slope. He saw hundreds of people holding torches in the valley ahead, like a slender stream of light.
As they flowed north along the dirt road, Guo Junpan's heart began to tremble:
Did the Xu Clan fools join forces with the Xu Clan soldiers to attack their camp on the east bank of Tiighu Beach at night?
Guo Junpan was wailing in his heart and almost moaning: Why is this reckless tiger completely deviating from the rules? Who wants to play with this heart-beating memory with him?
Before today, Guo Junpan still had 500 people, but before dusk, there were as many as 100 people who were shot, beheaded, and fled without a trace.
There are still 400 men and horses in the Dongtan stronghold, but more than 50 people are more or less injured, and nearly 50 beheaded corpses are lying in front of the stockade. There is no time to dig a hole for burial. Just imagine
How much morale do the people in the village have left?
The Dongtan camp is nothing more than a stronghold that occupies twelve or thirteen houses and is surrounded by wooden fence walls. It faces the river on one side and is surrounded by gentle slopes on three sides.
When it comes to how strong the defense of Dongtan Village is, Guo Junjing said he really doesn't have the slightest confidence.
He looked carefully and saw that there were three or four people looming under each torch.
If it weren't for the fact that Dongtan Village is backed by the Baijian River, and the water level of the Baijian River in the Tiaohutan section is relatively high and the current is relatively fast after summer, Guo Junpan would have wanted to abandon the village and flee to the west bank first.
"Go back and guard the stronghold!" Guo Junpuan reined in the reins and sent one person to rush back to the stronghold first to wake up the sleeping turtles and help him mount the stronghold wall one by one to prepare for defense.
He is also a shameless person, and there is no way he would abandon the stronghold and flee westward without fighting.
Xu Huai and Xu Xin'an first led the cavalry to the front of Dongtan Village, formed an offensive posture, and covered more infantry to quickly pass in front of Dongtan Village. Then they led the horses and retreated to the north.
Guo Junpuan wiped his head with cold sweat and had no intention of sending troops to catch up. He didn't even bother to find out why these four to five hundred soldiers and horses were dragged from Yuhuangling to Huaiyuan overnight...

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"
Xu Wufu walked back to Beiqiao Village with his men. Looking at the empty school field and the messy horse dung on the school field, he was so angry that he almost fell off his horse.
He finally held on to the reins to stabilize his body, but his mouth was full of bitterness. After a while, he hoarsely raised his head to the sky and shouted: "What a Xu Wujiang, you bullied me too much!"
Xu Bosong and Xu Zhongyu did not have the strength to ride independently. They were so angry today that they asked someone to help them over. When they saw people going to the empty Beiqiao Village, they stamped their feet and cursed: "We raise tigers to cause trouble. Xu Wujiang is an ungrateful thief!"
"Why did they bring four hundred ethnic soldiers to Huaiyuan?" Xu Chen and the others asked angrily and confusedly when they stood on the watchtower and could still see the retreating shadows of four to five hundred people.
"As long as the prefectures, counties and the inspection department recognize that Xu Wujiang was ordered to recruit soldiers from the Xu clan to join the rural camp, and given the current situation in Tongbai Mountain, the prefectures, counties and the inspection department will definitely acquiesce to their actions, and we cannot condemn such ungrateful people.
It is the crime of subjugating one's subordinates to one's superiors!" Xu Wuqi angrily swung the riding crop in his hand, crackling it in the air, and said.
"Xu Wujiang's parents, Di Niang, Xu Xin'an, and Xu Sihu are very ambitious, but their parents and family are still in Xinzhai. Since they can be in the first grade of junior high school, they don't blame us for being in the fifteenth grade!" Xu Heng said ferociously.
.
They were driven out of Beiqiao Village and immediately returned to Dazhai to close their doors. However, at this time, the Qingxi Bridge River rose and there were no boats at Shituoling Xinzhai. People and horses between Beiqiao Village and Beiqiao Village had to walk.
Qingliu River Bridge.
They could see clearly who went to Beiqiao Village in the middle of the night and who went back to Shituoling Xinzhai Village.
Now it can be determined that there are less than a hundred young men accompanying Xu Wuliang and Di Niang in Shituoling Xinzhai. The soldiers and armor are very poor and they can barely be called elites. In fact, Xu Wujiang took them with them to restrain four hundred
clan soldiers.
Xu Heng didn't want to endure this anymore, so he wanted to go to Shituoling Xinzhai to vent his anger.
Otherwise, he really felt like he was going crazy.
At this moment, Xu Wufu also grew evil and looked at Xu Wuqi, Xu Bosong, Xu Zhongyu, Zhou Jing and others.
Xu Wuqi had a gloomy face and remained silent; Zhou Jing was surprised by Xu Heng's words. When Xu Wufu's sinister eyes swept over him, he subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to meet Xu Wufu's eyes.
Xu Bosong and Xu Zhongyu complained bitterly: "These ambitious people dare to act recklessly and take risks. They know that even if they mess up Yuhuangling, they will lose nothing. But can we have no scruples at all? They are barefoot.
Ah! How hateful!"
"What the third uncle said is right!" Xu Wuqi said with a gloomy face, "And people like Xu Wujiang fled the army before, and now they are doing this unjust thing, which shows that they have long ignored the safety of their children - we
How can you blackmail them with something they don't care about at all?"
"Yes, if the inspection department really clears these dog thieves of deserting the army, things will be really difficult to handle," Xu Zhongyu said worriedly and cruelly, "unless we find an opportunity to catch the leading dog thieves.
, leaving him no chance to resist, otherwise he would have to endure it!"
"If the thieves are recognized by the state and county and cleared of the charge of deserting, how can we catch them all?" Xu Heng drew out his saber and slashed at them, shouting with hatred, "I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"
