There is a village with more than 100 households in the northwest of Lingshan Weibao. Because it is backed by a mountain, most of the people in the village are named Wang, so it was named Wangjiatun.
The land of Shandong has had strong folk customs since ancient times, especially the land of Qingzhou. The Qingzhou soldiers that Cao Cao fought across the world during the Three Kingdoms period came from here.
Since the late Ming Dynasty, due to serious land annexation, many farmers in Qingzhou who lost their land but were unwilling to be exploited by landlords have taken the risk and become grass bandits, robbing passing merchants and travelers. Such a group of habitual bandits was gathered in Wangjiatun.
The leader of the bandit is a native of Wangjiatun. He is a burly man in his thirties. He had smallpox in his childhood, which left him with a pockmarked face. People in his hometown call him Wang Mazi, but his real name is unknown.
How many people remember it.
Because Wang Mazi was cunning and cruel, he never left any merchants alive when they robbed passing merchants. Usually, the men would kill them all, and the women would take them back to Wangjiatun for him and his accomplices to enjoy. Therefore, he soon had a lot of influence among the Lingshan Guards.
With his fame, he also gathered more than 500 desperadoes under his command. A few days ago, Tian Wang Mazi robbed the concubine of Wei Tongnian, the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture, who came home to visit relatives. The prefect of Qingzhou was furious and immediately asked the Qingzhou Prefecture to
The commander and the Qingzhou soldiers and horses must be on guard to destroy Wang Mazi and this group of daring bandits.
Although Song Xinghe, the commander of the Qingzhou capital, had a higher official position than Wei Tongnian, the prefect of Qingzhou, Wei Tongnian and Shandong governor Yang Shiqing were classmates and good friends. He had to give up this reputation, so he and the military garrison issued a written order
Lingshan Guard Station, which is closest to Wangjiatun, wiped out Wang Mazi's gang of habitual bandits within a time limit. For this purpose, two thousand shi of food and three thousand taels of silver were specially allocated for the departure fee. That's why Pang Gang met Zhao Daxian yesterday and returned from transporting food.
That scene...
A rough and uneven wooden stick about two meters long, with a rusty iron gun head inserted into one end of the stick. It is almost the same as the red tassel gun held by the children's group in the later Chinese classic movie "Landmine Warfare".
This is the weapon our Comrade Pang Gang has just received.
Ever since he carried this weapon full of primitive ecological appearance, Pang Gang's mood has become more and more depressed. Just the day before yesterday, he was a glorious urban management officer in Xinghu City. He chased small vendors every day and drank with friends and colleagues at night.
Ordering a drink, going to the night market, or flirting with female netizens online at home, I don’t know how nourishing this little life is. But I didn’t expect that something unexpected happened. In the blink of an eye, I ended up in the cheating era of the late Ming Dynasty, and even became a
The most difficult thing was to station troops. This huge contrast made Pang Gang's mentality never adjust.
Seeing the various garrison soldiers around him walking on the dusty road as if they were strolling on the street, with some messy weapons in their hands, Pang Gang felt panicked. This was not to suppress bandits, it was obvious.
They were going to deliver food. Although Pang Gang didn't know how many bandits there were in Wangjiatun and what their equipment was, Pang Gang was certain that no matter how bad the equipment of those bandits was, it would still be better than that of these people. After all, their occupation was to kill people and set fires.
, as for the people around me, it’s okay to let them farm the land, but forget it if you let them kill people.
However, their Qianhu master still felt good about himself. He was riding a khaki horse, holding a brightly polished spear in his hand, and a scimitar hanging on his waist. He was looking around very much on the horse.
Majestic.
Secretly staring at the scimitar in He Zhengnan's waist, Pang Gang recognized at a glance that it was the one he had given him as a "filial piety" yesterday. He suppressed the anger in his heart for fear of being noticed by He Zhengnan who was not far away.
With his own eyes, Pang Gang lowered his head and followed Da Zhuang closely.
The team started at Sishi and walked for two hours until they arrived at the foot of a mountain ten miles away from Dawangzhuang. At this time, the formation of more than 600 garrison troops was already in disarray. They were still following their respective commanders.
All the garrison troops staggered around and complained incessantly. Some even sat down on the roadside and allowed their bosses or servants to scold and beat them, but they just lay there unable to get up.
Seeing such a scene, He Zhengnan's mood naturally did not get better, but he did not have an attack. He just suppressed his anger and ordered the team to stop and rest. Otherwise, the team of more than 600 people would have dispersed by the time they reached Wangjiatun.
After receiving the order to rest, hundreds of troops from the garrison went around looking for a place to rest like a general amnesty, and even the more than a hundred servants were no exception.
Pang Gang and a dozen of his companions came to a slope next to the foot of the mountain and sat down. He took out a bamboo tube filled with water from his waist and drank some water. He squinted at the muffled sound of the small forest at the foot of the mountain not far away.
language.
Da Zhuang, who was sitting on the ground, glanced at Pang Gang and said with a smile: "Gangzi, I didn't realize that you are quite capable of walking. It's been two hours and you haven't fallen behind yet."
As his name suggests, he is very strong. Although his nutrition is not very good on weekdays, he is still much stronger than other people. He originally thought that Pang Gang, who was fair and fair, would fall down after being unable to walk for an hour.
He went to the back of the team, but he didn't expect that after walking for two hours in a row, this guy was still following him so energetically.
Faced with Da Zhuang's praise, Pang Gang just smiled and said nothing. Although he had no experience of long-distance marches, he had just traveled from the next life to have good nutrition on weekdays. In addition, due to the nature of his work, he often
After gaining the "exercise" physical fitness, it is not too difficult for him to walk for an hour or two.
"Gangzi, why are you always looking at the woods over there? Is there something going on there?" Gou Sheng, who was thinner, was more attentive. Seeing Pang Gang always looking towards the woods, he asked carefully
One sentence.
After taking a sip of water, Pang Gang said slowly: "Don't you think this road is too quiet all the way here? It stands to reason that five or six hundred of us came here with great fanfare. Even a blind man knows that those bandits from Wangjiatun will
Don’t you know? Now that we are almost approaching their lair, don’t you think it’s strange that they don’t make any movement at all?”
"What's so strange? Maybe those bandits had fled long ago when they saw our army gathered together!" A voice came from behind. Pang Gang took a closer look and found that it was the young man Li Yuan who led him yesterday.
Behind him stood an old man in his fifties, with half of his hair and beard white, and a dozen holes in his mandarin duck jacket.
"Yuan'er, don't mess around!" The old man glared at Li Yuan and then smiled at Pang Gang, "Brother, don't be surprised if the dog is young and ignorant."
"It's okay!" Pang Gang smiled faintly, pointing to the woods in front of him and said, "I'm just talking casually and don't take it seriously. But if I were that habitual gangster, I would definitely send a small group of people to think about it.
We can lure the officers and soldiers into the woods, then set up an ambush in the woods, and use the familiar terrain to eliminate us in one fell swoop."
"Tch, if you say they come out, they will come out. How is this possible?" The young man on the side curled his lips.
"Yuan'er!" The old man reprimanded his son angrily, and smiled helplessly. This son is really annoying, he always offends people for no reason.
However, Pang Gang didn't take the young man's words to heart. At this time, his thoughts had already turned elsewhere.
As if God wanted to verify Pang Gang's words, a dozen men in tattered clothes ran out from the woods less than 300 meters away from Pang Gang, each holding a big bow in their hands and pointing at him.
He shot at the dozen or so soldiers who were sitting near the woods. He only heard a few screams, and immediately five or six soldiers fell to the ground. After shooting two rounds of arrows, these dozen men immediately went to
He ran back into the woods.
"Enemy attack... Enemy attack..."
"Those habitual gangsters are here!"
After a dozen soldiers were attacked, they immediately alerted the nearby troops who were resting. The troops who had never seen blood immediately screamed loudly. The first reaction of the soldiers who had never experienced such a thing was not to prepare to meet the enemy.
, but ran around like herding sheep.
All this happened in just half a cup of tea, and everyone who had not yet reacted was stunned.
Da Zhuang looked at what was happening not far away and murmured to himself in shock, "Gangzi... you are really right, those thieves are really here..."
