In Xiaodong Village, the fire was soaring into the sky, and the shouts of murder were loud.
The dry camp several feet high was made of loess and glutinous rice. After it dried, it became indestructible. Archers and spearmen walked back and forth above the camp, fighting constantly, which was very fierce.
He Tao's face was ashen, his head was wrapped with a white cloth band, there was blood oozing from his ears, and his eyes were flashing with anger.
He was wearing armor, a white mourning robe, and a piece of mourning cloth on his head. In addition, with the cloth bag wrapped around him, he looked like a seriously injured soldier, which looked quite funny from a distance.
"I didn't expect that Xiaodong Village would be eroded by Liangshan and now become a den of thieves. The people up and down Liangshan are so brave. They dare to build a camp here. What do they want to do?" He Tao widened his eyes and said with a half-smile, "It's just a joke.
Five hundred people, we can't attack too fast. We have to wait at least, but these Liangshan bandits are indeed very capable of resisting, and they can actually resist for such a long time."
Standing beside him was a deputy general, his younger brother He Qing. He stretched out his head and said: "Brother, we are very lucky this time. Captain Gao will appreciate us and give us a promotion. As long as Liangshan is destroyed, it will be a big deal."
Great credit.
The first protective wall on the outside has been breached by our people! In another hour at most, we will be able to enter Xiaodong Village. By then..."
Having said this, He Qing raised his head and glanced at his brother subconsciously. He Qing was just a gambler, so there would be no good things.
He Tao smiled coldly and said: "If you pass the order, just attack Xiaodong Village and let the officers and soldiers massacre the village! No one will be left alive! They can do whatever they want."
"Okay! Great! I'm going to steal a few women for fun." He Qing said with great joy.
"Idiot! I think you are really a pig-headed person. If you want to play, just play in Xiaodong Village. When you're done, hack me to death on the spot and take you back for what?" He Tao became furious and cursed, "Harboring thieves and bandits."
, do you want to behead?"
"Don't dare, don't dare." He Qing was startled. At this moment, his brother was promoted and his power was even greater. He immediately added jealousy and said, "Brother, after Xiaodong Village is destroyed, do we still want to attack Liangshan?"
"It's true that you are a fool. What are you doing here as a brother?" He Tao smiled coldly, "I will wait for the Liangshan bandits to come down to support us. We have two thousand troops here. That's
The troops are strong and the horses are strong. I have already arranged an ambush of three thousand troops on the road that must pass through Liangshan. There are hills on both sides of the road. As long as they pass by, they will definitely die without a burial place."
"Brother is really brave. I'm afraid we will make great achievements this time." He Qing was overjoyed when he heard this.
He Tao did not laugh, but cried twice and raised his hands to the sky: "What crime do I have? I devoted myself to serving the government, but what ended up happening? My ears were cut off by a thief, and I became a disabled person. Now my eighty-year-old mother has given up."
Guixi, such hatred! This is the revenge of killing my mother. If I, He Tao, do not avenge me, I will not be a human being!"
He Qiong added with jealousy: "Brother, Chao Gai and his gang really deserve to die. They are sinister and vicious. When the time comes to catch Chao Gai, we must cut him into pieces to avenge him for killing his mother."
"No! Chao Gai deserves to die, but Lin Chong deserves to die even more. He dared to take Chao Gai and others in even though he knew they were breaking the law and causing trouble. What is this? This is knowingly committing a crime and openly defying the imperial court. What is the purpose of such a bandit?" He Tao's look on his face
Gloomily, he swore, "If I catch Lin Chong, I will execute him Lingchi, take his and Chao Gai's heads as trophies, make one a wine bowl, the other a chamber pot, and let them be humiliated by me day and night!"
"
"Brother, you are so brave!" He Qing immediately flattered him.
At this moment, a soldier rushed forward and said: "Report! The forward army has been sent. The reinforcements from Liangshan are coming down the mountain. It is led by Lin Chong and others, but Chao Gai and others are not seen."
"Didn't Chao Gai come down from the mountain? That's a pity." He Tao snorted coldly when he heard this, "It doesn't matter, anyway, the Liangshan bandits will definitely die today. As long as Lin Chong is killed, Liangshan will be my He Tao sooner or later."
Things, where can Chao Gai escape then?"
"Brother, what should we do now?" He Qing asked impatiently, "I heard that a rich family lived in this village before, and he must have a lot of money."
"Money in Xiaodong Village is nothing. On the contrary, there must be a lot of gold and silver above Liangshan. Brother, as long as you can lead people to break through Xiaodong Village, then you can do whatever you want inside." He Taoyin said.
He said bluntly, "Whether you kill people, set fires, or play with women, it's all up to you."
"Hahahaha!" He Qing was ecstatic, his eyes instantly revealed the light of a wild beast, he immediately took the spear, led a group of warriors, and shouted, "Come on! Let us sir, as long as Xiaodong Village is destroyed, there will be many rewards.
.”
Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men, and the attack will be more fierce.
At this moment, in Xiaodong Village, not only the people of Liangshan, but also the villagers of Xiaodong Village, men, women, old and young, all came to the battle for protection.
Song Wan and others had a sullen face. He never expected that the officers and soldiers would suddenly attack without any warning.
Fortunately, the defense of Xiaodong Village has been constructed in the past few months. There is a huge Hanzhai defense, which is condescending, and this group of officers and soldiers will not be able to break in for a while.
Mrs. Sun was like a frightened little rabbit. She was so frightened that her face turned pale with fear. Her life had been rough during this period.
The caravan was hijacked and he almost died, but this was a good time. He stopped in Xiaodong Village and was attacked by the army again.
If the camp is destroyed and the officers and soldiers go crazy, she will probably die.
Although death is terrifying, she is still afraid of her innocence being stained. When the time comes, life and death will be worse than death, which will be her biggest collapse.
It's okay in peaceful times, but in troubled times, if you look too good, it will be a disaster.
"Mr. Song, can we withstand it?" Mrs. Sun asked cautiously.
Song Wan forced out a smile and said: "Mrs. Sun, there is no need to worry. I have sent people to Liangshan for help. As soon as the reinforcements arrive, these officers and soldiers will disperse like birds and beasts."
When Mrs. Sun heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Will Mr. Lin Chong come down from the mountain himself?"
Song Wan pondered for a while and then said: "I should be able! My brother is so brave that no man can deserve it. As long as he leads the army, he will be invincible. Mrs. Sun, please don't be anxious."
As he was talking, suddenly a small leader hurried over and shouted: "Brother Song Wan, the offensive of the army is too fierce. Our brothers have suffered heavy casualties. I am afraid that we may not be able to withstand it. They have too many archers and cannot resist it."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Sun's face turned pale again and she was trembling all over.
The muscles on Song Wan's face twitched, but he remained calm and composed. Standing on the high wall and looking down, he saw that it was the chief officer's younger brother who was personally going into battle wearing armor.
It seems that he was so crazy because he was promising some benefits.
Song Wan thought about it and said: "Send the order and tell me that brother Lin Chong's reinforcements are coming soon and they must be withstood by me! If they can't be stopped, the army will definitely massacre the village, and we will all die by then."
Massacre the village?
Mrs. Sun's beautiful big eyes suddenly opened so round that she almost cried with fear.
As a Jiangnan woman, she had always lived a peaceful and comfortable life. How could she ever live in such a precarious and dangerous life?
"Master Lin, please come here quickly!"
For some reason, at this moment, Mrs. Sun's mind was filled with images of Lin Chong's mighty and majestic appearance.
