The fire spread around Zhaoyuan Village at an unimaginable speed. What spread even faster than the fire was the fear in people's hearts.
The servants from the Yan and Yang families were all strong, but had not received much military training. They were extremely brave when fighting against the wind. When they suddenly encountered a night attack, they did not know how to deal with it and instinctively chose to run for their lives.
Those miners and farmers who had just been recruited into the army within a few days reacted even worse. Most of them didn't even bother to put on their clothes, and ran away from the fire with their buttocks bare.
Although Yang Xingyan placed a group of navy veterans in the outer camps to serve as officers, the number of these veterans was ultimately too small compared to the recruits. When the recruits were in panic, the veterans were unable to perform at all.
What's the use? Often when I try to stand up, I'm pushed around by the people around me before I can open my mouth.
"Kill those who are neatly dressed and naked butts first!" Fearing that the rebels might stand a chance, Li Yu bent his bow and arrow and shot a rebel veteran who was trying to organize a resistance to death.
"Kill the neatly dressed and naked ones first!" the grain men following him repeated loudly, either using bows and arrows or steel knives to cut down the nearest rebels to the ground.
The newcomers to the rebel army outside Zhaoyuan Village were running away in an increasingly panic. No matter who shouted in their ears, made officials or made wishes, they were resolutely ignored.
When an infantry encounters a cavalry, they are already at a disadvantage. In the opponent's hands, they will throw out thunderous fire at every turn. Many people on my side have empty hands, and some people don't even bother to put on their clothes.
, how can it be resisted?
Moreover, people have made it clear that only those who are neatly dressed will be killed. Those who can still keep their clothes relatively neat at this juncture must be Yang Xingyan's direct descendants.
When Yang Xingyan distributed gold and silver to his direct descendants, he didn't think about everyone. Why should everyone accompany his direct descendants to die together!
"Stop, there are not many enemy troops! Look back, look!"
"Stop, the Yang family treats you badly!"
"Stop, you just received 800 yuan..."
The veterans sent by Yang Xingyan to serve as officers could still bravely call on the newcomers to resist at first, but soon they took the initiative to shut up. One after another, before the cavalry noticed them, they jumped in and joined in.
Escape team. The feet wearing boots can run faster than the newcomers around them.
"Keep chasing, don't let them stop. Only kill those with weapons, not empty-handed!" Finding that the rebels on the outskirts of Zhaoyuan Village had been completely defeated, Li Yu shouted and made decisive adjustments.
"As ordered!" The grain workers promised to be quick and quick, raised their swords and spurred their horses, chasing people to the north along the back wall of Zhaoyuan Village. They spared the servants and miners who were empty-handed and frightened, and the killers were still among them.
Rebel cadres holding weapons.
There were only fifty grain men in total, divided into two teams on the left and right to act alone, and the force suddenly became increasingly thin. However, no one of the rebels in the mountains and plains outside Zhaoyuan Village dared to turn back to fight.
Standing on the mountain ridge, brothers Yuan Kun and Yuan Bao looked like they were seeing two groups of leopards chasing yellow sheep.
No matter how many of the latter are there, no matter how sharp the horns on their heads are, they will not dare to resist. Which one becomes the prey of the leopard group first, and which one can escape death depends entirely on the mood of the leopards.
"We will definitely win this battle!" Yuan Kun suddenly exhaled and sighed in a low voice.
It took at most half a quarter of an hour from the time Han Qing led his troops to charge towards the enemy. However, his whole body was soaked with sweat. At this moment, his heart hanging in his throat suddenly dropped to his stomach, and he immediately
The night breeze felt bitingly cold.
"Win, win for sure, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle..." Yuan Bao also felt the chill in the night wind, and his upper and lower teeth kept clashing, "It's just, it's a pity that we two are not qualified to fight, gurgle, gurgle,
I can only stand here and light the torch!"
The courage of recruits is cultivated.
Although he was so nervous that he could hardly breathe before, after witnessing dozens of cavalry on his side chasing down thousands of rebels like sheep, Yuan Bao suddenly felt that going to the battlefield was actually not that scary.
Of course, the premise is to follow a general like Han Tixing. If it were someone like Yang Xingyan on the opposite side, he would still rather stand far away and help light the torches.
"Next time, maybe next time, it will be our turn!" Yuan Kun's mood, which was a bit relaxed at first, immediately turned into regret after hearing Yuan Bao's words.
Lowering his head and taking a closer look at Zhaoyuan Village, the regret in his heart immediately became stronger.
Near the back wall of the village, no rebels could be seen, only burning tents and hundreds of bloody corpses.
Under the night cover a little further away, cries of killing and begging for mercy could be heard from time to time. It was a part of the cavalry that continued to drive away the rebels to prevent them from regrouping for a counterattack.
Inside the village wall, thick smoke and flames were also rising from the tops of most buildings. Cries and cries arose one after another along with the thick smoke and fire. I don’t know how many rebels there were, hiding around with their buttocks naked.
Even though he had never attended school for a day or read half a page of a military book, Yuan Kun knew that the rebels were completely hopeless.
Han Tixing had already rushed into the stronghold on horseback, with more than a hundred cavalry beside him.
Outside the stronghold wall, fifty cavalrymen were able to kill thousands of rebels. Inside the stronghold wall, there were more than a hundred cavalrymen, led by a fierce general like Han Tixing. How could the rebels have a chance to make a comeback?
"I don't know if Yang is dead?" Yuan Bao, like Yuan Kun, was doing nothing. He stared at Zhaoyuan Village for a moment with his eyes widened, and then whispered again, "He has done so many immoral things, if he is killed by Han
It would be too easy to kill him with just one shot."
"He is definitely dead. No matter how powerful he is, he is still not good enough in front of our punishment!" Yuan Kun directly gave the conclusion without thinking.
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that there seemed to be a few more horses around him. He quickly looked up and saw Liu Hong's slightly philistine smiling face.
"See you, I've seen Commander Liu!" He didn't know how much of what he just said fell into the other party's ears. Yuan Kun shuddered in his heart and quickly clasped his fists in salute.
"My brothers, don't pay attention to these things!" Liu Hong was arrogant, waving his hands and giving orders with a smile.
Immediately, he bent down on the horse again and asked in a small voice, "Which one of you can ride a horse?"
"I can!"
"Me too!"
Yuan Kun and Yuan Bao thought that Liu Hong was going to take them to give the enemy a final blow, so they immediately blushed and handed over their hands in excitement.
"Wang Liu, Li Shi, you two, let the horses out. Then each of you and your brothers will stay on the mountain ridge, waiting for the execution order!" Liu Hong was overjoyed, smiled, and ordered loudly.
Immediately, he quickly turned his attention back to Yuan Kun and Yuan Bao, "Get on the horse and lead me to the official road in front of the mountain. I suspect that Yang Xingyan will run away when the situation is bad. You two are familiar with the road. Let's go to the front of the village.
Block him on the official road leading to Sanshan Island!"
