Two hundred and thirtieth IX Going south to rob food six
After running to the stone house, Ge Gege discovered that there were only four people left among the more than a hundred soldiers who had originally followed him. [] Two of these four people were his Goshiha, the old man brought from Prince Kang's Mansion, and
One is the team leader in the village, who is in charge of cooking, and the other is his good partner in Pai Gow, the Barhu man Zaba Shu who helps him collect and distribute copper coins every time.
"Where are the people?! Where have they gone!"
Ge Geli was furious, not angry, but furious. The terrain of the stone house was very good, and the fortifications were well done. There were all kinds of arrow stacks at the sentry post. There were dozens of firecrackers in the warehouse, and there were more than a hundred soldiers. Even if
The Rakshasa people have many firearms, and it is impossible to attack them just because they want to. As long as they survive this night, it will be easier tomorrow. But now there are only five people including myself, and they cannot defend a stone house. How can we survive?
Until tomorrow morning!
Gege Geli didn't realize that it was his own fault that caused the soldiers to scatter. He only thought that these soldiers were greedy for life and feared death, so they went to survive alone. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He didn't care about the Rakshasa people who were getting closer and closer outside.
Then I walked back and forth quickly, feeling sullen.
Gregor didn't care, but the others were anxious. Seeing Master Zuoling patronizing and getting angry, they didn't make up their mind. If they continued to stand like this stupidly, the red-haired ghost would come as soon as he said it, and everyone would be dead by then.
At that moment, the older one of the two Goshiha started to persuade him: "Sir, there are too many red-haired ghosts. Everyone has run away, and we have run away too. Don't the Han people have a saying, which is called stay?
The green hills are here, so you don’t have to worry about running out of firewood.”
Hearing what Geshha said, Captain Nadaur hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, sir, we'd better run, bring in reinforcements and then come back to settle accounts with these red-haired ghosts!"
When he heard that the two wanted to run away by themselves, Gregor blurted out without even thinking: "Run away if you want!" Then he lowered his hands facing south and said in a deep voice: "I have been favored by the emperor in my life, so I should be loyal to the emperor and serve the country! Today
The Rakshasa people invaded the territory. As the leader of Sandao Village, I have the responsibility to protect the land and the parents of the people. If I abandon the land and run away, how can I have the face to meet the officials? How can I be worthy of these tragic deaths at the hands of the Rakshasa people?
The common people below." After saying this, he glanced at the four people and said softly: "The Rakshasa people are powerful, and there is no benefit in staying here. I have decided to sacrifice my life for the country here. This is my duty, you guys.
But it doesn’t have to be like this, you run for your lives now, and if you can run into the grain transport fleet, inform the situation here and ask the escorting officers and soldiers to come quickly to retreat from the enemy. In this way, I can die in peace."
"master!"
Seeing that his master insisted on staying here, the older Goshiha couldn't help but became anxious: "I also know that staying here will only lead to death. In this case, I should run for my life with us. Please get rescuers and then fight with the Rakshasa."
How can we just give up and throw our lives away in this fight between men and women? Please also ask me to escape with us!"
Ge Gege's good partner Zaba Shu heard the shouts of the Rakshasa people outside getting closer and closer, and became anxious. If he didn't run away, it would be too late. Ge Ge Ge wanted to die, but he didn't want to die. Zuo Ling had a look on his face.
He looked like he was begging for death. What else could he say? He immediately said, "Sir, please take care of yourself. The younger ones have their elders and younger ones. I have to save my life and go back to take care of them. Please forgive me for not being able to be with the adults!"
After saying that, he ran back without looking back, and in a blink of an eye, no one was seen. When the Daur team leader saw this, Gege Geli, two geshe, and headed outside again, stamped his feet for the last time, and followed the direction of Zama Shu.
Go away.
Gregor had gone into business, and he wanted to die. It was only natural for his subordinates to seek a way to survive. He closed his eyes and thought about how he should die. After a long time, he made up his mind that it would be better to commit suicide in order to avoid death.
He was killed by the Rakshasa or captured by them. He was desperate to survive. He was about to look for the sword to kill himself, but he saw two Goshiha still standing in front of him. They did not run away with Zabasu and the others.
Greg looked at the two of them in confusion: "You two haven't left yet? The Rakshasa people are coming soon. If you don't run away, it will be too late."
The two glanced at each other, then they both took a step forward, knelt down in front of Ge Gege, and kowtowed a song before the older Gesheha said: "Master, you are receiving favor from the emperor, but we are receiving the favor from the master."
Thank you, if it weren't for the master, we would have died in the rebellion. Living with the master for a few more years is enough. Today, the master will be loyal to the country, and we will also be loyal to the master.
Let’s die together with the master! Please don’t drive us away, we are willing to continue to serve the master on Huangquan Road!”
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Looking at these two loyal subordinates who were willing to die with him, Greg couldn't help but shed a few tears. He looked down at them for a few seconds, said no more, and sighed: "Bring me my broadsword!
"
Er Geshiha was busy going to get the big sword for the master, but he saw people around him holding the master's sword. Ge Geli also remembered that he had thrown the sword outside, and couldn't help but feel even more lonely. The sword had been with him all his life, and he had never
I really want to separate.
Since he decided to commit suicide to avoid falling into the hands of the Rakshasa people and being insulted, he had to have a sword in his hand so that he could kill himself cleanly. If the sword was not there, other things would do. Ge Geli pointed to the ground and was struck by a soldier.
Discarded long knife: "That's the one."
Er Geshiha knew what Master Zuoling wanted the knife for, but neither of them said anything. One of them silently picked up the knife, held it to Gregor with some trembling, and then he and the other stood aside with their hands hanging down.
, according to the rules, after the death of one's master, a servant must dispose of the master's body to prevent the enemy from destroying the body, so the two of them waited to finish disposing of the master's body before following him.
The knife is very sharp, wiped clean, and there is no rust at all. From the edge, it can be cut out. Just wipe it hard on the neck, and it will go to hell. But with this knife in hand, Ge Geli is...
I lifted it to my neck several times, but every time I tried to cut it off, my heart softened and I couldn't wipe it off.
"That's it!"
It turns out that suicide is something that makes people unable to live or die. In the past, when the Han generals committed suicide after defeat, they always thought that it would not be difficult for them to stab themselves. However, now that it was my turn, I realized that this was going to me.
The spatula is such a difficult thing. It is always said that the Han people are cowardly and commit suicide just to save trouble, because they are afraid of falling into the hands of the imperial court and suffering the consequences. Now, I think I was wrong. Those Wu Ni who committed suicide were not really cowardly.
Afraid of suffering punishment, they were really determined to die and no longer afraid, unlike themselves who had the thought of being afraid of pain. Gegeli, who was unable to do anything, had all kinds of thoughts and ideas.
, seeing the two loyal Goshiha looking at him in surprise, looking a little embarrassed, he finally gritted his teeth and said to the two of them: "Rather than die in your own hands, it is better to fight with the Rakshasa people. You can follow me later."
Fight out!" After saying this, his fat body shook, turned around and rushed outside the stone house, and then heard a loud roar:
"Red-haired ghost, come here! Let you have a taste of Grandpa Gregorian's power!" Then there were several "bang bang" gunshots, and then there was no sound in the stone house, only the echo of firecrackers.
The sound floated on the walls of the stone house.
………
"Commander, all the defenders in the village have been eliminated! All the unruly people who don't know how to live or die have also been killed!"
"The general's men have captured more than a hundred people of various ethnic groups who escaped, as well as some Qing soldiers. Please tell me, commander-in-chief, how to deal with these people?"
After Gregor's death, the remaining fighting in the village ended in less than half a stick of incense. After everything settled down, Zhao Qiang led people into the village. Grifsky and Zheng Guohui successively reported the results of their operations.
"The common people will be gathered together and imprisoned first, and will be taken back when they return. As for those Qing soldiers... they are all escorted over. I have something to ask."
The purpose of capturing Sandaotun was to rob the Qing army of rations, but now there was no fleet at the dock. With his last hope, Zhao Qiang wanted to ask the captured Qing soldiers whether this fleet had passed by and whether there were any more later.
If the fleet passes by, if so, stay here and wait.
"Yes, handsome!"
After listening to Zhao Qiang's instructions, Zheng Guohui immediately asked his men to bring in those Qing soldiers who had escaped and were captured. As soon as they were brought, they were all kicked and beaten on their knees. The prisoners were from all nationalities, including old and young.
The young and the old were about fifty years old, and the younger was very young, about fifteen or sixteen years old. Most of the Qing troops, who were old and weak, were stationed in the Eight Banners, so Zhao Qiang didn't think there was anything wrong.
When he walked up to these prisoners, Zhao Qiang didn't say much nonsense. He just said: "Those who want to survive must cooperate well. If I ask a question, you will reply. If you are dishonest, you will be killed with one knife!"
The prisoners were extremely frightened at this time, and the corpses around them made them tremble. After hearing Zhao Qiang's words, those who could understand Chinese immediately nodded and said something to beg for mercy.
Zhao Qiang ignored the prisoners begging for mercy, walked up to the one-year-old prisoner and asked: "Let me ask you, how many defenders are there in the village?"
The prisoner that year was from Sauron. He knew some Chinese and had an honest attitude. After listening to it, he said honestly: "Back to Grandpa Rakshasa... Back to Grandpa, it was Lord Gegeli who led Yizuo to lead the troops in the village.
A few months ago, Mr. Guo Mul came again with a group of Sauron soldiers with red flags. There were less than four hundred soldiers in total." He originally wanted to say Grandpa Rakshasa, but Zhao Qiang was not a Rakshasa, but looked like a Han.
, couldn't help but change his words, and he was also puzzled. He didn't understand how this Han man got together with the Rakshasa people.
Zhao Qiang asked: "Where are the Gege people?"
The prisoner looked around and pointed at the three corpses lying under the stone house more than 20 meters behind Zhao Qiang: "That fat man is our Lord Ge Geli."
Zhao Qiang glanced at the fat corpse and saw that it was indeed wearing a uniform, so he nodded and asked, "Where is Guo Mul?"
The Sauron captives didn't know where Guo Mul'er was. When he asked other people around him, they all shook their heads and said they didn't know. Seeing that the captives didn't seem to be lying, Zhao Qiang asked Zheng Guohui to send people to search various houses to make sure Guo Muer was found.
Muir found it.
Zheng Guohui led his men to search every stone house, but no one was found alive, so he had to come back and say: "Commander, I have searched every house, but I didn't find Guo Mul."
Can't find anyone? Zhao Qiang was startled, how could there be no one in such a big place?
"Have all the bodies been examined?"
"I have checked, but there is none." Zheng Guohui affirmed: "Commander, you can rest assured, the general can guarantee that no one will escape from the general's headquarters!" The implication is that it is impossible for Guo Mule to escape from under the eyes of the cavalry brigade.
, so there is only one possibility: Guo Mul is still alive, and must be hiding somewhere in Sandaotun.
Is there a secret cellar or something? Zhao Qiang's heart moved and he asked the prisoner that year: "Honestly, where is this Guo Mur hiding?"
Prisoner Nian was frightened by Zhao Qiang, and his body softened. He shook his head with a grimace and said: "To tell you what grandpa is saying, I really don't know, I really don't know!..."
"I don't know?" Zhao Qiang snorted coldly: "I don't know what's the use of keeping them. Someone, drag them down and chop them all!"
"Yes, Commander!" Immediately, soldiers came to drag the prisoners down. Now the prisoners were anxious and screamed one by one like killing pigs:
"Grandpa, have mercy on me, grandpa, have mercy on me, you guys really don't know!"
But the youngest young prisoner shouted: "You know where Guo Mul is hiding!"
When Zhao Qiang heard this, he quickly mentioned the young man and said, "Say!"
The young prisoner was so lifted that he could hardly breathe. He blushed and said, "Guo Zuoling is not in the village, and he has not run out. There is only one place to hide."
"where?"
The young man pointed towards the river: "The reeds on the riverside!"
After hearing what the young man said, Zhao Qiang chuckled, let go of him and put him on the ground. He smiled at Zheng Guohui and said: "I forgot that there is such a place. You must send people to search. If you want to see people alive, you want to see corpses if you die, Guo Mu."
Even if you get into the ground, you have to dig him out!"
Zheng Guohui was a little embarrassed: "Commander, this prodigal is so big and it's late. Even if Guo Mule is hiding inside, we can't catch him. Should we wait until dawn before sending people in to search?"
Zhao Qiang flatly refused and said: "It will be too late until dawn! If this kid runs out to report the news, we will be in trouble." However, what Zheng Guohui said is also true. It is so dark and the reed marsh is so big that it is a bit difficult to send people in to search.
After staring at the prodigal son in the distance for a while, Zhao Qiang had an idea and told Zheng Guohui:
"Send people to surround this prodigal, not sparing any intersection, and then set fire to him to force him out!"
