Ye An did not expect that the bandits would give up resistance and flee. In his opinion, these desperadoes had taken death lightly, but he underestimated people's fear of the unknown.
Gunpowder weapons have changed the situation of war. Even the party members are afraid of them, let alone the bandits who bully the weak with guns all day long.
For a moment, the wind direction on the battlefield reversed, and a strange scene appeared. The honest peasants were chasing the bandits with long guns. At this time, they were calmly in the pleasure of revenge. The bandits with their backs wide open only needed a thrust.
He was stabbed to the point of feeling chilled to his heart.
Stimulated by the smell of blood, the "sheep" gradually awakened, and the bandits began to become cowardly and frightened. The gunpowder ammunition had long been used up, but they did not dare to turn back and fight again.
Don't chase the enemy when you are in trouble. That's when the enemy is well prepared, but now it's completely the opposite. Taking advantage of the victory and pursuing it is the way to go!
The nearly two hours of fighting had already exhausted the physical strength of both sides. Fortunately, Ancun Village was on the defensive and still had enough physical strength to counterattack. In addition, they were in a favorable situation, and the sound of killing the enemy could not be heard for a while.
With the cooperation and cover of the soldiers, the Imperial City Division's soldiers had already begun to outflank the peasants. The peasants pursued them until they reached Yujiawa. At this time, there were not many bandits left. The bandit leader Yan Sandao was shouting angrily while walking.
stop.
He knew that he had encountered a tough situation, and his heart was bleeding when he looked at his damaged men. This was the strength he had managed for the past ten years. How could he be willing to lose everything now?
But now he knew that there was no way to save him. The terrifying explosion and fire made him feel real fear. Using his familiarity with the terrain, Yan Sandao sneaked under the tidal flat with his few remaining confidants and grabbed hold of them along the river.
The few people living on the cliff looked like a crack on the cliff under the gradually darkening sky, making it difficult for people to notice.
The chasing team did not turn back but continued to move forward. Looking at Ye An's heavy face, Qin Mumu knew that he was sad, not for this era, but for the dead people.
History has made all this impossible to change, but those who died in the battle will never come back. A dozen farmers died, three soldiers died in the battle, and eight soldiers from the Imperial City Division died in the battle. These are all
A few hours ago, people were still alive.
As a soldier, the life and death he looked down upon was on the battlefield. The death of civilians was still something he couldn't accept, but the dead were dead, but the living still needed to continue living.
Ye An and Chen Lin mounted their horses and headed to Liujia Gorge, where the "fruit" was picked.
Ye An gave the wounded to Qin Mumu and Xuan'er with great ease. They have brought the Xi Lie Army's battlefield rescue to the best level in this era. Under cold weapons, unless it is an incurable disease such as a penetrating injury or aortic hemorrhage,
Xi Liejun already has quite good experience and level in the treatment of external trauma and infection.
Liujia Gorge is not far from An Village. The terrain here is steep and precipitous. If you want to climb the cliff, you can only attack from the winding path, otherwise you will have to climb the cliff.
Ye An never believed the description in the movie. If the army could climb such a cliff without having to fight the enemy, the casualties from falling off the rock wall would be unbearable, not to mention that it only takes a small amount of time to stand on the rock wall.
A single force can cause heavy losses to a place.
But at this time, the gate of Liujiaxia was closed. Most of the bandits had died or escaped in the afternoon battle. Only a small number of bandits dared to escape back here, and the only ones left in Liujiaxia were the old, the weak and the sick.
disabled.
There is no mercy for the bandit Ye An. If the Wang Gang spreads the word, he will either be captured without mercy or burn to the ground along with this criminal village!
The bandits did not surrender as the Wang Gang imagined. Instead, Yan Sandao stood on the gate of the village and frantically "uttered" those unpleasant words, which made Tieniu in front of the battle furious. Unexpectedly, he, the bandit leader, escaped back.
As for Chen Lin, she didn't care at all. She opened her ears to read Ye An's jokes, but Ye An didn't get angry. If words were powerful, this guy would have died countless times...
Zhao Hu was ordered to drag out the captured and disabled bandits. Yan Sandao cursed and stabbed these bandits. Soon Yan Sandao shut up.
He was still very affectionate towards his brother. In the end, he only asked Ye An to let go of the stronghold. He was willing to tie his hands and leave the stronghold to surrender. However, Ye An shook his head and said: "It's impossible. All bandits have to be escorted to the government. You
Do you think I will talk to you?"
"I am willing to give all the gold and silver in the village to Shangguan!"
Ye An laughed loudly and said: "What are you thinking?! Those things belong to me. Why do you think I paid such a price? For the heads on your neck? How is it possible! I am in Liang.
The state capital has plenty of opportunities to win military honors, but your heads are worthless! Do you think of brotherhood at this time? Don’t pretend to be a man, a beast is a beast! How could you not think of the word brotherhood when you were slaughtering the villagers? You robbed
How can there be no affection when you plunder other people's property and molest other people's wives and daughters? If you tell me this now, I will only feel more disgusted! Come on! Set fire!"
These people will definitely be sentenced to death even if they arrive at the Yamen of the state capital. It is not enough for the people to be angry. The people in Hehuang and Huang have been suffering for a long time. How many people died because of them, how many people were forced to commit suicide because of them. Those who have accumulated blood debts
It must be repaid with blood.
No matter what morality is, what justice is done for heaven, what grudges are based on pleasure, bandits are bandits. Their wealth and hypocrisy are all obtained by plundering others. No matter what excuses such people use, it will be difficult to wash away their sins!
The arrow ignited by kerosene fell into the village like a flaming cloud. As for the wails of the old, weak, sick and disabled among them, no one had any sympathy.
Ye An sympathizes with the children among them, but unfortunately they are also victims. It is too difficult for the children who grew up in the village to get them to follow the right path. It takes a lot of time and experience to guide them, and it may not be successful. If
If it were Ye An a few years ago, he would have tried everything he could, but now...
For some reason, Chen Lin looked at Ye An's back with a feeling of strangeness and fear. This young man had grown up, from the original young man to a decisive and decisive general.
Under the illumination of the fire, Yan Sandao shouted his last words: "You must die a good death, Dog Officer!" His ferocious face was distorted in the heat wave of the flames, and Ye An shrugged: "Maybe!"
Fire can devour flesh and trees, but it can do nothing to metals. Precious metals will deform under the flames, but they will not disappear. When the soldiers and guards cleared the rubble and opened the treasure house, there were mountains of treasures and copper coins inside.
Nearly ten thousand guan of copper coins are piled up like a hill. The sight is really shocking. No wonder the ancients often said that if you have a million guan, it is always one thousand guan, and ten million guan is ten million yuan!
In addition, there were countless gold, sand and silver ingots, and boxes of jewels and jade. Even the soldiers who had seen money could not help but burst into cheers.
As for the villagers who were responsible for the transportation, they were shocked and speechless by the wealth in front of them. Ma Shouguan looked at these treasures tremblingly, and finally looked at Ye An with pleading eyes and said: "Tianguan, I, An Village
Ding Zhuang..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye An said: "You can't take away this wealth. You can take the copper coins as much as you want, as long as you can take them away, but the gold sand, silver ingots and jewelry and jade must be left behind. You can take these things."
If you take it away, it will be life-threatening wealth. Even if you have my own official as a guarantee, the government will punish you."
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Ma Shouguan, who was still bitter about the dead villagers, suddenly smiled. He never expected that he would be so heroic and give them this mountain of copper coins.
