Under Zhao Yuan's organization, the city walls at both ends of East Street were quickly dismantled. More than 5,000 strong laborers were divided into two groups. One group was more than 3,000 people, mainly composed of victims of land reclamation. The other group was 2,000 people.
Most of them are tenants of Xujiaqiao and workers of Wanjia. The biggest advantage of this distribution is to prevent the victims of land reclamation from accidentally killing the people of Xujiaqiao. After all, the tenants are more familiar with the locals of Xujiaqiao than the victims of land reclamation. Even if they don’t know them, they will
If you have a familiar face, you won't kill each other.
Both groups of people had a kitchen knife stuck in their waists and carried bamboo poles, hoes and other weapons. In order to avoid killing each other, each person tied a white towel on their head. This white towel is very useful, not only for distinguishing
Enemies can also keep warm from the cold and bandage wounds...
After Zhao Yuan explained some matters, he immediately divided his troops into two groups and set off.
In fact, Zhao Yuan's explanation was very simple. He told everyone not to be alone, not to drop the towel on your head, and it is best to have a spare towel on you.
Just as Zhao Yuan said, at this time, small groups of mobs were running around Xujiaqiao town. They broke in, burned, killed and looted. The evil deep in human nature was completely released due to hunger and cold. Xujiaqiao was everywhere.
There were cries and screams, some mobs started to set fire, many houses were burned, and the sky was filled with thick black smoke.
More than 2,000 strong laborers started from the end of East Street and began to hunt down the small groups of mobs.
Compared with the number of mobs, which numbered in the dozens and hundreds, this team had an absolute advantage. They were like wolves and tigers along the way. They swarmed the mob when they saw it, with hoes, shoulder poles and kitchen knives flying around. The mob was originally entangled in the temporary
Faced with an enemy several times their size, the ragtag group immediately fell apart and fled for their lives crying for their mothers.
In fact, most of the mob went to Ma's house, and there were not many mobs who stayed in Xujiaqiao to burn, kill, and loot. After all, the complex lanes in Xujiaqiao were not suitable for thousands of people to attack. Of course, the most important thing is,
The mob all know that there is not much food in the homes of ordinary people, not enough to feed tens of thousands of people.
The progress is very fast.
The leader was Zhu Dapao. Zhu Dapao was a clever man. Seeing that some mobs were scattered and vulnerable, in order to increase efficiency, he divided more than 2,000 people into four groups, each group of 500 people, and began to advance quickly.
Meet at the end of West Street at Xujiaqiao Bridge.
At this time, the people of Wanjia were already red-blooded. As soon as they saw anyone in ragged clothes and suspicious appearance, they immediately swarmed towards them with swords and sticks. Countless mobs died miserably. The streets and alleys of Xujiaqiao were like hell, with mutilations everywhere.
The incomplete body, the dried blood solidified into ice, is shocking.
The large mobs circulating in Xujiaqiao Town were quickly dispersed, and some sporadic mobs were unable to make any waves and began to flee into the wild. At the same time, Xujiaqiao locals began to organize a resistance and chased and intercepted the mobs in the lanes.
In less than two hours, the situation of the originally arrogant mob took a turn for the worse and turned into a street rat.
Soon, everyone fought all the way to the Xujiaqiao Bridge on West Street to meet up. The Xiaojiaqiao brothel, a landmark building in Xujiaqiao that stood beside the Hedong Bridge, had been engulfed in fire. Dozens of young ladies in tattered clothes huddled together in the cold wind, trembling and crying.
.
Mr. Xiao of the Xiao family was standing in front of the burning brothel with a dull look on his face. Suddenly he saw a large group of people coming to kill him. He was so frightened that he was about to jump into the river with his head in his hands. He was pulled by a group of bodyguards. When he looked closely, he saw some familiar figures.
Face, he breathed a sigh of relief...
Looking around, I saw thick smoke billowing over Majia in Hexi Province, and there were constant shouts of killing.
"Brothers, kill!" Chef Luo stood at the bridge, holding two sharp butcher knives and shouted.
"Kill!" Guo Ax raised his iron ax high and shouted in response.
More than two thousand strong and capable men raised their arms and shouted at the same time.
Just now, everyone was chasing down a small group of mobs with great momentum. When their morale was high, under the leadership of the rich voices of Chef Luo and Guo Axe, everyone's blood was boiling. They raised their weapons and shouted "kill" all the way.
Like a tidal wave, it rushed toward the west of the bridge...
Ma family.
The Ma family moved to Xujiaqiao more than two hundred years ago. Through these years of hard work, it finally became the largest household in Xujiaqiao. But today, the Ma family has faced the biggest disaster in more than two hundred years.
Thousands of mobs came over like a tidal wave.
In fact, when a mob marched towards Xujiaqiao, the Ma family had already received the news. However, by the time the Ma family knew the news, it was already too late.
Of course, the Ma family still has some preparations. The Ma family is already prosperous and has a large number of servants. With the temporary mobilization, there are nearly a thousand people up and down.
It's a pity that the Ma family compound was completely destroyed before thousands of people could support it for half an hour.
Thousands of mobs swarmed into Ma's house, smashing anything that couldn't be moved and burning anything that couldn't be smashed. All the gold, silver, soft and valuable things were looted, and the granary was in a mess. The hungry mob carried it on their backs, using
Various tools pull...
Zhao Yuan did not participate in the battle. He was with Chen and directed the battle.
Surrounding the two men were more than two hundred strong tenants. These workers were all carefully selected by Zhu Dapao. They were all tall and strong, and they were absolutely loyal to the Wan family. Some tenants had been loyal to the Wan family for generations.
Follow Wanjia.
In addition to being strong and strong, these two hundred workers are also equipped with very luxurious equipment. They are all weapons for killing people. In addition to long knives and swords, they even have more than a dozen crossbows.
After confirming that Xujiaqiao was safe, Zhao Yuancai and Chen walked out of Wanjia Courtyard.
Surrounded by two hundred strong men, Zhao Yuan and Chen came to the bridge and saw Mr. Xiao of the Xiao family with a frown on his face.
Mrs. Chen walked over and after a few words of comfort, Mr. Xiao went with her to visit Wan's family.
Standing on the arch bridge and looking from a distance, you can see that Wanjia's battle should be coming to an end, because some of the blazing fires have been extinguished and turned into billowing smoke. In the wilderness around Wanjia, there are scattered all over the mountains and plains.
From a distance, the fleeing mob and the thousands of workers chasing them looked like a raging fire.
Zhao Yuan did not directly participate in the battle. He remained silent from beginning to end, lowering his head and following behind Chen. He did not want to attract anyone's attention.
Along the way, Mr. Xiao thanked Mrs. Chen for his kindness.
It turned out that a small mob attacked the brothel of the Xiao family. In the chaos, the third son of the Xiao family was killed, several other sons were also injured, and some servants and prostitutes died. Later, the brothel was set on fire.
In the midst of panic and confusion, the Wan family rescued more than 3,000 people from the Ma family. The mob immediately collapsed and fled in all directions.
Although a son of the Xiao family died and the brothel was destroyed, most of the family members survived, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
If Wanjia's reinforcements hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
After crossing the bridge, small groups of dispersed mobs would encounter them unexpectedly from time to time. However, facing two hundred strong men in uniform, the mobs scattered away and did not entangle with them.
In fact, at this time, people from the Ma family were everywhere chasing the mobs that were fleeing for their lives. The mobs had been dispersed and had no power to resist at all. Everyone hated their parents for losing two legs...
Soon, the group arrived at Ma's house.
The tall wall that stretched hundreds of meters of Ma's house had been pushed down, the door was broken down, and the door was littered with bricks, rubble, and some scattered weapons, making it a mess.
After entering the Ma family compound, the miserable scene was even more horrific. The pavilions and pavilions were all destroyed, and the main buildings were riddled with holes. Some buildings were still emitting thick smoke, and some servants were carrying water.
Put out fires.
In the middle of the yard, there are piles of corpses, at least hundreds of them. Under the eaves of one roof, there are injured people crowded with them. The wails and screams are endless, like a hell on earth...
Ma Junwu was sitting on the threshold in a daze, as if he were ten years older. In front of him, lying a corpse, the corpse was covered with a white sheet. The faint curves exposed from the outside of the sheet showed that the corpse was female, and she was naked.
