"Sir, please give the order! This scourge must be eradicated as soon as possible!" After handing back the document, Sun Baihu immediately asked for a fight.
Su Ziji nodded: "Sun Baihu, don't hesitate. Order your troops immediately. Now follow me to surround and kill these six cavalry teams!"
"Yes!" Sun Baihu responded and went out to order troops.
When Su Ziji also changed into his military uniform and came out, he saw fifty cavalrymen and five cavalrymen who looked like they were wearing fine thin armor, waiting under the torch.
The firelight shone on their faces, and everyone looked serious, but the eyes that looked at Su Ziji showed a little curiosity, probably because they didn't know who this young man was, and he could make hundreds of households do what he was told.
Sun Baihu has ordered people to bring in three good horses, one for himself, one each for Su Ziji and Ye Taoist.
The three of them immediately got on their horses.
"Sir, I will ask the remaining people to stay here and follow us. There are fifty cavalry, together with five guards, which is enough to deal with the civilian cavalry."
"That's enough, let's go!" Su Ziji nodded, and without saying a word, he took the lead and urged the horse to run towards the darkness outside.
The people who were originally doubtful about whether this young man had fighting ability nodded slightly when they saw Su Ziji urging his horse to gallop. At this glance, they knew that although he was not proficient in riding skills, at least he would not be a hindrance.
They are similar to wild Taoists. Although their equestrian skills are average, they are not incompetent. They do not have stage fright when urging their horses to follow.
For the conductor, this was enough, and nearly sixty people quickly ran away on horseback.
It is a small town more than twenty miles away from the port. Because the southwest is not a prosperous area, there are only more than a thousand people in a small town, and the residents are not very dense. Some wealthy families are surrounded by similarly wealthy families, and poor people
There is a clear line between the rich and the wealthy.
This was an advantage for Su Ziji. At least at night, surrounding the target house would cause less commotion. Even if the neighbors heard the noise, they would not dare to speak out.
Their target is Dong's house located in the east of the town.
Although he is a businessman, there are some restrictions on the size of the house, but the area is not small. I can imagine that there must be pavilions and gardens inside, and there are many things.
"Is this the place? The area is not small!" Su Ziji and Sun Baihu reined in their horses almost at the same time, followed by others who also stopped their horses. Su Ziji raised his head and looked at the sky. It was night again and it was very cloudy.
Heavy, it seems very suitable for fighting at night so as not to disturb the townspeople too much.
But Sun Baihu only glanced at the sky and looked at the house with a cold expression.
Su Ziji was a little strange, but he was also someone who had lived in the capital, so he understood it as soon as he thought about it.
When he entered Taixue, he met Chen Sheng, the previous Jinshi, a second-class Jinshi. After entering Beijing, Chen Sheng had a prosperous official career, but he was very poor.
House prices in the capital are expensive. Except for a few individuals who enjoy the title granted by the emperor, officials in the capital mainly rely on buying or renting houses. Chen Sheng’s rent actually accounts for half of his salary, with a monthly rent of 8,000 yuan. In order to maintain his dignity, he has to spend money on official uniforms, but Wu Shamao
The jade inlaid on it is fake, and I have been an official for three years and have not sent a penny to my family. Not long ago, I heard the news that my second uncle died of poverty and illness, and I burst into tears.
This is what Su Ziji witnessed with his own eyes.
Dazheng's salary is not low, it is in the middle line in the past dynasties. The reason for this is that it is not easy to live in the capital.
Even the area of the prince's palace was generally only 15 acres in the past in Wei Dynasty. Only now, when Dazheng founded the country, the palaces of the kings of Shu and Qi had 30 acres.
With officials like this, how can hundreds of households in the imperial city be detached?
Now the Dong's residence seems to exceed the area of the palace. Although it is in the countryside, it still makes hundreds of households dissatisfied.
You guessed it right, Sun Baihu would never be soft on such a businessman who spends his ill-gotten gains, and glanced at a guard.
The guard immediately urged his horse forward and shouted towards the closed door: "Listen, people of the Dong family, we are members of the official family. We are looking for your head, Dong Maolin. Open the door immediately!"
As a result, there was obviously a chaos in the house, with lights going out and getting up a little, but then it became quiet again.
The door is closed and no one opens it.
If the people inside did not believe their identities, they could have further confirmed them by shouting, but when they heard the officials coming, there was no movement, and the situation was obviously not right.
Su Ziji was riding on the horse and said: "There is indeed something hidden."
He turned around and raised his hands to Sun Baihu: "Master Sun, I leave the matter of the war to you."
"Don't worry, young master, I have people surrounding the house. Even a bird can't fly out!"
"If they don't come out, we can attack them!"
"Since you are fighting against the government, you will not be able to escape death penalty." Sun Baihu smiled ferociously. As he spoke, there was a cavalryman at the corner gesturing to the people here.
Sun Baihu responded, and he immediately stepped on the horse, jumped lightly, and grabbed the top of the wall.
"Not bad." Su Ziji thought to himself.
But as soon as a few people climbed up, they heard the sound of breaking through the air. A guard was alert and quickly dodged, and an arrow flew past his ear. However, a county soldier beside him was shot in the left shoulder and fell down.<
/p>
There was also a county soldier who was hit by an arrow. He screamed loudly and fell from the wall. He seemed to be more seriously injured and his life was probably not saved.
"How dare you kill an official?" Sun Baihu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, his face remained calm, and he waved his hand.
Everyone immediately heightened their vigilance and treated it as a regular battle. At this moment, the closed door suddenly opened from the inside, and someone ran out on horseback, bending their bows and firing arrows.
"Puff"
The people outside had been prepared for a long time. They raised their shields to cover the vital points of both men and horses. When the arrows hit them, they made a few sounds and bounced out. Almost at the same time, the guards had thrown out several javelins in the army.
.
"Puff"
The cavalry that had just rushed out were still wearing leather armor, but when five javelins fell, three people immediately screamed and were nailed to the ground.
Throwing the javelin, the guards in thin armor rushed forward with their swords drawn. At the same time, the county soldiers also shouted and charged forward.
The two sides collided and fought for their lives.
"Thirty years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, martial arts still exist." Su Ziji watched and saw that the guards were brave and the county soldiers were not afraid of the stage, so he couldn't help but nodded secretly.
As soon as the battle began, screams continued to sound. Perhaps the cavalry knew that they would not be able to survive, and they all had the idea of fighting to the death. However, although these people were considered to be outstanding in skills among the soldiers, they had never trained in battle formations on weekdays.
Fighting with bravery and blood.
The guards and county soldiers formed a battle formation with each other. As soon as they compared each other, three or four more people from the cavalry were killed. Sun Baihu even drew his bow and arrow in person and killed the leader with one arrow. "Master Dong was hit by an arrow."
Perhaps this Young Master Dong is the core of the cavalry team. Seeing that he was hit by arrows and fell from his horse, the people in the cavalry team suddenly wanted to retreat.
At this time, Sun Baihu's people had taken advantage of the chaos to climb over the wall. As long as one of them broke through the defense, it would be easy for the people behind to get over.
"Kill, kill everyone who resists, leave no one behind!"
Su Ziji was waiting outside on horseback and heard the fierce fighting inside, with screams coming one after another.
