Xiao Tang was discussing with Yang Xu, Shi Xiu, Yang Lin and others when suddenly a farmer came in hurriedly and reported to Xiao Tang: "Young Master, Wu Zhi from Kongsongzhuang, Qingyihe County is here. There seems to be an urgent matter.
!”
Brother Wu had just left a few days ago, so why did Wu Dalang come here at this time? Xiao Tang hurriedly ordered the dealer to invite Wu Zhi in, but Wu Zhi stumbled in with a disgraced face. After meeting Xiao Tang, he shouted hoarsely: "Please Xiao Tang
Ren Xia saves the lives of Pan Mansion and Kongsongzhuang folks!"
Xiao Tang hurriedly helped Wu Zhi up and said anxiously: "Brother Wu! What's going on!? What's going on in Kongsongzhuang?"
Wu Zhi said with a tearful voice: "Zhang Di of Mingzhou gathered several gangs of thieves, and the bandits invaded Jizhou and fought all the way to Enzhou. The remaining officers and soldiers in Enzhou were killed and defeated, and the thieves made it easy for them to plunder the counties of Enzhou. Now they have
Hundreds of thieves rushed to the vicinity of Qingyihe County, killing everyone they saw, and were about to destroy Kongsongzhuang at their sight!"
Xiao Tang knew that there were rogue bandits approaching Pan Mansion in Kongsongzhuang. Wu Zhi had no choice but to come to Daming Mansion day and night to ask for help. Because although Xiaojiaji in Zongcheng County and Kongsongzhuang in Qingyihe County were close to each other, one of them was in Daming Mansion.
Under the rule of Enzhou Prefecture, a group of people was under the jurisdiction of Enzhou Prefecture. The imperial army guarding Enzhou was dispersed by the rebels. It was the fault of Enzhou Prefecture and the command department. In such a situation, the neighboring state capitals all cleared their doors, unless there was an order from the imperial court.
, each state prohibits the assembly of troops, otherwise the state's officers and soldiers will rarely be mobilized to deal with troubles for other state officials.
"Sanlang! Brother Yang Lin! Go to Xiaojiaji to assemble the Eighteen Cavalrymen and Jizhen Xiangyong! Go to Kongsongzhuang to protect the entire Pan Taigong Mansion!" Xiao Tang ordered urgently, although he did not have the power to mobilize the remaining imperial soldiers.
Horses, but the strong men from Xiaojiaji in Zongcheng County under the jurisdiction of Zongcheng County are also responsible for catching thieves and can be dispatched for Xiao Tang.
Not to mention Xiao Tang's sworn brother Wu Song's eldest brother Wu Zhi, who was a member of Pan's family. Pan Taigong of Kongsongzhuang had a long-standing friendship with Xiao Tang, and when he married Su Jinniang, it was the kind elder who accepted Su Jinniang.
As an adopted daughter, she helped Xiao Tang a lot during his wedding. At this time, the Pan family was in trouble, how could Xiao Tang ignore it?

"kill!!!"
With the flash of swords, hundreds of thieves poured into Kongsongzhuang like hungry tigers, with red eyes, they crazily slaughtered all the lives in sight. There were not many local heroes left in the village, and most of them were not killed by those red
The thieves who saw them were hacking and killing them with swords, and then they fled in panic. Even the officers and soldiers of the two military states of Ji and En were helpless with this group of thieves. How could they resist these completely crazy beasts?
?
Zhang Di has now gathered 17 gangs of strong men from Shanzhai. They have set up three strongholds in the ancient city of Yiyang in Mingzhou, Tangli in Loushan, and Linmingguan Town. They have a combined force of more than 30,000 people and are known as the Southern Hebei Army. However, Zhang Di has been fighting in the past two years.
He recruited soldiers and horses, expanded greatly, and conquered the second- and third-rate green forest bandits in Hebei and Hedong. However, there were three to five hundred strong men in the cottage who could survive by robbing nearby villages and traveling through trade. Now he is the southern Hebei army.
Alliance leader, how should we raise more than 20,000 thieves who are good at burning, killing and looting?
However, Zhang Di does not have the reputation to attract all the heroes. In terms of the scheming and means to motivate the crowd, he only wants to be called a loner, and his promise to surrender to the crowd is just a temporary favor. Like the Liangshan side.
He must not raise the banner of justice for heaven, because he knows that those strong men from all walks of life who ostensibly call him "brother, leader," all want to satisfy their lust for money, women, and power to the greatest extent possible.
.
Therefore, Zhang Di could only go and rob. He knew that the current situation was not favorable, so he did not dare to be too showy to attract the attention of the court and attract a large army to suppress it, so he led his army to bypass the important places of the military prefectures of Ming, Ji, and En.
, left Mingshui Town, crossed the Jizhou River and entered the boundary of Enzhou, only to plunder and attack various counties and villages in the state.
The Jizhou Army was afraid of the huge force of the rebels and could not retreat. However, the three battalions of Enzhou's Imperial Army were surrounded and defeated by tens of thousands of Zhang Dilulin's troops. The official army was also defeated. The Jinan Army had just gathered together from a pile of scattered sand.
The strong men in each village were like vicious dogs being let out of their cages. They each chose a place to go and dispersed to plunder and plunder the villages and towns in every county in Enzhou.
The three thieves leaders who came to plunder Kongsongzhuang were Feng Yi, Lei Zhen, and Duan Ren. They watched the desperate men slaughtering them like crazy and ravaging this fertile land. They also saw the villagers of Kongsongzhuang running like wolves one by one.
Suddenly, the whole family screamed and cried, but their hearts felt a kind of hearty and morbid pleasure.
Straight mother-in-law! In the past, I just hunkered down in a small village, and even the patrol villages were inspected. The eagle talons of the county government did not dare to provoke me. How could I kill the imperial army like this today, invade the big village, and just burn and kill?
Is looting so enjoyable?
Seeing that there were only a dozen villagers left using the ruins of the tile wall to defend themselves, clinging to the gaps in the wall with the bitter bamboo signs and hurriedly waving hatchets and hoes, Feng Yi's mouth showed a hint of ferocity, and he said: "Brother Lei Zhen, Brother Duan Ren, look
I'm going to kill those blind bastards!"
Lei Zhen laughed and scolded: "There are only a few murderers left who want to die, how can they show their skills? Don't you just want to defeat the wealthy people in the village and take advantage first, and you still pretend that I don't know your tricks?"
Feng Yi's eyes widened and he cursed: "You took advantage of the big house named Song just now, and now you are scheming with me! Now Songzhuang is full of our gold and silver depositories, you can reach out with your hands."
It’s advisable, why are you arguing with me?”
After hearing this, Duan Ren, who was next to him, laughed in a dark voice and said: "I heard that there are two big families in Kongsongzhuang, the Kong family and the Pan family. They are just quarreling here? According to the old rules, the food and grass are turned over to the leader Zhang, and the money and silk are handed over to the leader Zhang.
I will reward the younger ones with 10% of the spoils, and the remaining 90% will be shared equally among the three of us. As for the beautiful woman, whoever grabs it first will enjoy it. Don’t ruin the brotherhood like we did just now.”
Feng Yi was so impatient that he just said: "I'll rely on you!" He straightened up his iron spear and led more than thirty men towards the village to kill him.
Because I couldn't stand the bird's anger, I turned into a bandit. But in the past few years, I only guarded a poor mountain and poor water, and how could I ever live happily? Feng Yi was cruel and thought to himself: Isn't it just for white flowers to be a strong man in the green forest?
Your money, your pretty bitches? Today I am living a proud life. Are you trying to take advantage of me? Go to hell!
Feng Yi jumped on his horse and flew at full speed, stabbing all the villagers in Kongsongzhuang with one shot. He roared with laughter and shouted: "You have eighteen generations of ancestors! Who dares to stand in the way of my wealth..."
Before Feng Yi finished speaking, an arrow suddenly struck, piercing his head while his mouth was wide open. Feng Yi's wild words stopped abruptly, he kicked his feet into the air, and knocked off the horse with a plop.
A group of riders came diagonally from Kongsongzhuang, and it was Xiao Tang, Hua Rong, Shi Xiu, and Yang Lin! Behind them were the eighteen riders under Xiao Tang's command, as well as those who were good at riding horses from the Xiao family.
Nearly a hundred local brave men.
Hua Rong took the lead just now. While Feng Yi's attention was all on the banker who was desperately resisting, he picked up his bow and arrow, took a close look at Feng Yi, and shot the thief's head with just one arrow. Then Hua Rong led ten
The eight cavalry galloped and charged, but they heard the continuous sound of bowstrings and the roar of arrows in the wind. Hua Rong took the lead and only shot at the leader of the thieves. The eighteen cavalry assisted the cavalry in shooting, and the feathers and wolf fang arrows roared towards them. Two rounds of arrows came down.
He also shot down three small ringleaders on horseback among the thieves and more than a dozen minions.
Lei Zhen and Duan Ren were shocked. How could they have expected that the imperial army guarding Enzhou had been broken by the Jinan Army. How could they have broken out such a group of troops and killed them like divine soldiers descending from the sky?
Xiao Tang, Hua Rong, four people, and more than a hundred light cavalry went to Kongsongzhuang first. Seeing hundreds of corpses lying in various places in the village, he knew that these thieves killed people and set fires without any taboos. They all had no mercy and no regard for morality.
The murderer. Filled with righteous indignation, he gritted his steel teeth and took advantage of the bandit army being caught off guard. He had already rushed into the enemy's formation with dozens of cavalry!
Shi Xiu, the desperate Saburo who attacked with Xiao Tang, took the lead. He waved his saber and killed seven or eight thieves in an instant. Duan Ren, the leader of the thieves, saw this, picked up his bow and pulled the string, and secretly shot a cold arrow at Shi Xiu.
Shi Xiuwu fought bloody battles with his sword, but Duan Ren unexpectedly hit his horse with an arrow from behind. The horse fell suddenly. Several thieves nearby saw him and took the opportunity to attack Shi Xiu with their weapons.
Shi Xiu reacted very quickly. At the moment when the horse suddenly knelt down, he jumped off his stirrups and rolled a few times on the ground. Then he stood up, drew out his sword and slashed hard, killing the thief alive.
Cut in two!
His face was full of blood, but Shi Xiu just touched it randomly, adding to the murderous aura! He glared fiercely at Duan Ren. Duan Ren's heart trembled, and before he had time to react, Xiao Tang was already slashing him from left to right.
Stab, kill in front of him!
Duan Ren took the brunt and saw Xiao Tang wielding a gold-plated tiger head and dragon tooth spear towards him. He hurriedly raised his gun to block, but the loud "Cang!" sound made Duan Ren's eardrums hurt, and he was struck by the tiger's mouth.
Numb, his courage was gone, Xiao Tang swung his spear again, and swung the spear away from Duan Ren's hand!
Xiao Tang slashed and picked, saving three points of strength for himself. Seeing that Duan Ren's middle door was wide open and exposed a flaw, he thrust the gun and stabbed again. The sharp and thick dragon tooth gun blade penetrated Duan Ren's chest!
Duan Ren vomited out a large mouthful of blood. When he reached out and was about to grab Xiao Tang's gun barrel, Xiao Tang used his strength to fly Duan Ren's body away. Duan Ren let out a heartbreaking howl, stumbled to the ground, and then fell to the ground again.
No interest.
When Lei Zhen saw Feng Yi and Duan Ren coming with him, they were killed in an instant. He was so frightened that he lost his mind. When Xiao Tang, Hua Rong, Shi Xiu and others were temporarily blocked by his men, he turned around and ran away. He didn't care about the sound of killing behind him.
For days on end, Lei Zhen, riding his horse and dozens of minions, had just escaped from Kongsongzhuang, but they were surrounded on three sides by a group of infantry troops and were blocked.
It turned out that Xiao Tang didn't know the details of the thieves, so he ordered more than 800 local warriors from the Xiao family to come out. He, Hua Rong, Shi Xiu, and Yang Lin led more than 100 cavalry to Kongsongzhuang first. They also ordered Xiao Yi to
, six close brothers, Xue Yong, Jiao Ting, Shi Yong, Tang Long, and Zheng Tianshou, followed by hundreds of infantry warriors.
The remaining thieves were blocked by the brave warriors holding wolf swords and spears, and they all had no intention of fighting. Lei Zhen had just killed two people with all his strength, but unexpectedly a wolf sword came at him, and he hurriedly ran away.
He fell off his horse and bumped into the golden leopard Tang Long.
Tang Long was holding a 30-pound pumpkin hammer and had just smashed the Tianling Cap of a thief. When he saw the leader of the thieves fall in front of him, without saying a word, he picked up the pumpkin hammer and smashed it at Lei Zhen's face!
Lei Zhen was caught off guard and his face was dented by the pumpkin hammer. He remained silent and died instantly!
