Xiao Lin is back. Niukou Mountain is just a mountain. It is not a dangerous place. It is just because it is stuck on the salt road that Qu Wuyi chooses to choose his lair here. Yun Zheng has seen the map that Xiao Lin brought back.
Afterwards, I was puzzled as to why a thief would be so bold as to do this? Could it be that they really didn’t care about the government at all?
The Rongzhou Prefecture inspector was brought over by a monkey. Yun Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "Is Qu Wuyi really a thief who does all kinds of evil?"
The Rongzhou inspector held up his hands and said, "Reporting to the capital supervisor, it is indeed true. This thief has at least thirty lives in his hands. There are witnesses and physical evidence in every case and cannot be denied."
Yun Zheng took out the document sent by the Luzhou magistrate from his arms and said, "Are you sure that Qu Wuyi is a remnant of the Maitreya Cult?"
The inspector stepped forward and said with certainty: "The humble position is very certain. In the seventh year of Qingli, Qu Wuyi was defeated by Gao Tansheng and turned into a traitor. It was also from that time that Qu Wuyi began to build a fortress in Niukou Mountain.
With the help of the Maitreya Cult, the entire Niukou Mountain village wall is more than three miles long, but Qu Wuyi does not have enough strength to do such a thing."
"Han Niu is optimistic about this inspector. He cannot be allowed to leave before the end of the war. Some things will always come to light. It is always right for us to be cautious."
The Rongzhou inspector seemed a little stunned. After a few words of argument, Han Niu carried him directly to the logistics camp under his arm.
Wu Jie came up to Yun Zheng and said: "It's very strange. The defense of Niukou Mountain is not very tight. This is inconsistent with the Luzhou military report. It's too dark and we can't observe the real situation in Niukou Mountain fortress. What will happen tomorrow?"
To launch an attack, according to our Jiazi camp's practice, we must first use gunpowder bombing, and then use armor-piercing cones and crossbow arrows. After three rounds of attacks, there will probably be only a few living people in a small walled city.
I don’t believe that an old gangster doesn’t even have this basic sense of defense.”
Yun Zheng stuffed the document in his hand into his arms and said: "Let's proceed the same way as before. No matter how valuable other people's lives are, they are not as valuable as our own. Since Luzhou Prefecture has issued an order to punish thieves, we
Just implement it. The intensity of tomorrow's battle will be reduced by one level, and the purpose is not to kill. This is the limit of what we can do."
Xiaolin looked back at Yunzheng and said, "What should I do if I am killed by mistake?"
Yun Zheng replied coldly: "The documents provided by the Luzhou magistrate and your Secret Intelligence Department all said that Qu Wuyi was a thief. I will definitely treat him as a thief. If the army goes to war, there will be no carelessness. I would rather kill the wrong person."
, and will not let it go. If there is a mistake, it is also your mistake. The army has always been a tool for killing. We do not judge whether those killed are good or bad. An army that begins to have its own judgment is
The Sorrow of the Great Song Dynasty."
Xiao Lin was choked by Yun Zheng's words and had nothing to say. What the Song Dynasty was striving for was to make the army brainless. It did not know whether to judge justice or injustice, and only knew how to fight bravely and sacrifice its life. Now Yun Zheng said this,
Others are blameless.
The so-called surprise attack is to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to hit them as hard as possible, thereby reducing trouble for future battles. The rules of combat are to protect yourself as much as possible and hit the enemy as much as possible.
This is Yun Zheng's view, so his concept has been completely inherited by Jiaziying. They fight for no glory or good looks, as long as the method that can kill the enemy is a good method.
Jiazi Camp has a small trebuchet that a strong soldier can carry on its back. Naturally, such a small trebuchet cannot throw a two-pound clay pot very far, and Yun Zheng did not expect it to be able to throw it farther.
, just one hundred and fifty steps is enough.
Sealed clay pots filled with gunpowder are very powerful. If they explode in the air, the broken pottery fragments will cause great damage to the enemy. Yunzheng has experimented with cast iron. After being exploded by gunpowder, it will often only become two pieces...
…
Thin mist enveloped Niukou Village. It was a quiet small village. There was no one in the village. There were only a few early-rising chickens wandering around the village. Some impatient roosters had already jumped onto the chicken coop and were preparing to sing their songs.
At Yun Zheng's feet lay three big men in ge robes. They watched in despair as the sergeants from Jiazi Battalion placed exquisite small trebuchets around Niukou Village. Although they didn't know what they were, they relied on their own intuition.
, thinking this is definitely not a good thing.
They all closed their eyes, neither begging nor roaring, just like three sheep tied to a rack, they only shed tears but could not shout when faced with the slaughter.
Yun Zheng waved his hand, and Wu Jie beside him waved a red flag, and hundreds of black clay pots flew into the small village with sparks flying...
There was a thunderclap, and those bamboo buildings were as fragile as children's toys. When the explosion sounded, they fell into pieces. The dark red flames swallowed up this small, quiet village in an instant.
When the flames rose into the sky, the soldiers of Jiaziying were already carrying huge logs and hitting the gate of the stockade. Various sounds came from the stockade, including roars, howls, screams, and pleadings.
.
Some dusty men, naked and carrying various weapons, began to run towards the gate of the village. The sound of giant trees hitting the gate was like the footsteps of evil ghosts.
Wu Jie waved the flag again, and hundreds of armor-piercing awls were thrown high by the soldiers, and arcs were drawn to cover the direction of the village gate. The unobstructed big men were nailed by the armor-piercing awls that fell from the sky.
On the ground, shrill howls suddenly enveloped the sky over the village. Some of the men who continued to run turned around and ran back. The terrifying explosions just now had left them stunned. If it were not for their own lives, they would not even think about it.
Stand up and resist this.
The gate was finally opened, and the soldiers of Jiazi Camp filed in. At this time, there was basically no resistance. It was not until the army took control of the situation that Yun Zheng and Wu Jie walked down the hillside and entered the village.
There are broken bamboo buildings everywhere. Many naked women are sitting in the broken bamboo buildings, holding their children tightly and not letting go.
The big man stretched out his movable hand and grabbed Wu Jie's ankle. He was mumbling something. He didn't know what he was talking about. He seemed to really not want these officers and soldiers to enter the village.
Yun Zheng smiled bitterly and stopped moving forward. Instead, he found a millstone and sat on it, waiting for the soldiers' search results. He no longer expected to find a large amount of treasures from here.
But when Yun Zheng saw the soldiers escorting a big man over, he immediately laughed. If he guessed correctly, this man should be Qu Wuyi.
This is a strong, muscular man. Although he only wears a pair of obscene trousers, he is smooth and oily all over. He has a curly beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes. Judging from his appearance, he can be regarded as an unobstructed hero.
"Qu Wuyi?" Yun Zheng asked with interest.
"Grandpa, that's right!" The guy didn't have time to catch his breath and was busy taking advantage of Yun Zheng.
"General, this guy was caught by Taoist Xiao Lin from the north wall, and he almost ran away." Liang Ji, who had sent him over, said to Yun Zheng with his fists in his hands, and punched Qu Wuyi hard on the stomach.
Qu Wuyi was punched by Liang Ji and bent over. Tears, nose, and blood kept flowing down his face. He still kept making noises, as if he was laughing.
The two soldiers who grabbed Qu Wuyi pinned him to the ground and prepared to beat the hateful guy violently, but Yun Zheng stopped him.
When Qu Wuyi raised his head again, Yun Zheng knelt down and said, "Where is the money you robbed?"
Qu Wuyi flew over with bloody spit. Yun Zheng, who was well prepared, dodged and crouched down again and asked: "I don't ask about the grudges between you and the Luzhou prefect, or even between you and the Pai Gang.
relationship, I just want to know where you put the treasure. As long as you tell me, I will leave immediately after taking the treasure. I am not interested in taking away anyone here. Think clearly, do you want money or everything here?
Human life?”
"Dog officer!" Qu Wuyi gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.
Yun Zheng pulled Qu Wuyi's hair and said: "I don't have much time, and Xiangbi you don't have much time either. You are dead. If you care about the lives of other people here, tell me, otherwise no one here can survive.
!The Luzhou magistrate should have arrived with a large team of troops by now, and you should be familiar with this kind of thing."
"I can't wait to eat your flesh and sleep on your skin..."
Yun Zheng stood up and stopped asking Qu Wuyi. He said to the monkey: "His money should be hidden in the north, where he plans to escape. If you lead a search slowly from the north, you will definitely find clues."
The monkey agreed and left in a hurry with the person.
Xiaolin and Liang Ji came over and shook their heads at Yunzheng. They looked at the miserable situation in Niukou Village and seemed to be very intolerable.
"The people in the village are innocent, but this Qu Wuyi is definitely not innocent. If I guessed correctly, there may have been a conflict between him and the Luzhou prefect.
This is interesting. It's funny that a bandit can have a conflict with the prefect. Generally speaking, what kind of disputes can there be? Liang Ji, tell me." Yun Zheng asked Liang Ji.
Liang Ji opened his mouth wide and said with a silly smile: "You know that money can make people jealous even if you are in a humble position. This thing seems to have no distinction between high and low."
Yun Zheng smiled and patted Liang Ji on the shoulder and said, "You're right. I also think he should have a financial dispute with the prefect. Apart from this matter, they can't get along with each other. Sometimes it's the worst.
Boring speculation seems to be closer to the truth.
I believe this must be a large amount of money, not a small amount, isn’t it Qu Wuyi?”
Qu Wuyi, who was on the ground, was still staring hard at Yun Zheng, twisting his body and not knowing what to do.
Yun Zheng continued: "Qu Wuyi, whose family are you a dead soldier? Why don't you commit suicide and be loyal to your master now that you are being captured? Don't worry, I don't plan to ask you who you work for. I have no interest in knowing, but Tokyo Wa Shizi
You are really wronged by the good guy here living in a remote mountainous area. The polish you apply on your body seems to be expensive.
None of Cao Rong’s subordinates I met last time seemed to be as luxurious as you. Your body was made smooth and smooth, with sharp edges and corners. Were you a spearman and stickman who wrestled in Washizi?" (To be continued)
