Chapter 28 Revenge
In March, Dangyang is like a Shura hell. The county town is full of corpses, and naked female corpses can be seen everywhere. The blood on the ground has long stopped flowing, and it has been scattered into the ground and turned dark. The packages are all scattered. Obviously, the valuable things inside have been searched. The people who escaped their lives are hiding in the darkness of their homes, and they dare not show their heads at all, nor dare to make fires to cook. Except for bandits who collect women and property everywhere, the entire Dangyang is silent.
It was already three days later that Chen Aishan woke up from a coma. When he woke up, he only saw his youngest son Chen Sijin. Chen Sijin had a white cloth wrapped around his head, and blood was faintly exposed. One of his arms was also hung on his shoulders with white cloth.
"Brother, the second brother is dead, aunt, third wife and my mother are hanging!" Chen Sijin narrated the past in an empty tone, as if the voice was not made from his mouth.
When Chen Aishan heard this, his blood and blood surged, he fainted again. Chen Sijin was proficient in Qihuang's art and pinched Chen Aishan hard. Chen Aishan then woke up and looked at Chen Sijin, two lines of clear tears flowed out of his eyes.
"Sijin, Dad, I'm sorry for you! All the sins that Dad did alone are on you." Chen Aishan also knew about the bandits. Chen Sijin also advised him at the beginning, but Chen Aishan didn't like his second wife, and he didn't like this son with him, and he looked down on him in all his energy to study the art of the Yellow Emperor, so he didn't listen to him. Unexpectedly, his family was ruined and his family was ruined, and everything was his own fault.
Chen Sijin was silent and just wiped away the tears from the corners of Chen Aishan's eyes with a towel.
"Sijin, don't think about taking revenge. Now you are the only one left. You must live safely!" Chen Aishan struggled to sit up, and Chen Sijin helped his father up.
"Promise my father, live well, have you heard?" Chen Aishan suddenly raised his tone, scared Chen Sijin, and Chen Sijin nodded.
Chen Aishan breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had taken off a heavy burden, and said, "You go and get some water, I'm thirsty!" Chen Sijin turned around and went to get water. Before he could walk far, he heard a buzzing sound. Chen Aishan fell into the pillar and died.
Chen Sijin rushed forward, supported Chen Aishan, and cried bitterly...
After Lin Chunhong received the news that Wu Gan captured Dangyang County, his blood was swelling, and he slapped his grudges and slapped his head: "This time, if you don't take Wu Gan's head to pay tribute to your father, you will be a son!"
"Master Dianshi asked to calm down. His grandson said, "The Lord should not raise an army because of anger, and the general should not fight in anger. I heard that Wu Dan brought more than 2,000 people to the crowd. It is probably difficult to avenge him..." Li Chongde was worried considering that there were only a few hundred guards in Bailizhou, and he couldn't help but speak out and advise him.
Lin Chunhong sneered a few times: "Just relying on the rabble of Wu Dan, it's not enough to stuff my teeth into pieces! The scholar no longer needs to persuade him. This time he has to send troops!"
After saying that, he ignored Li Chongde and ordered directly: "Uncle Zhou, return to Bailizhou immediately and send a fine soldier to Dangyang to find out the news. In addition, strictly order the guards to prepare for the war!"
"Little Daizi, go to Biheyan immediately and ordered Baiya Cave to allocate 300 strong men, Sinan to allocate 500 strong men, and arrive at Bailizhou within three days!" Little Daizi was clever and loved by Lin Chunhong and kept it with her for training.
"As for money and grain," Lin Chunhong stared at Li Chongde, which made Li Chongde feel a little embarrassed. "I'll trouble Li Xiucai, prepare according to the share of 1,500 people fighting for two months!"
"Everyone is ready separately, don't act perfunctorily. I will go to Jingzhou in the past three days to see if I can get an order from the government."
Seeing that Lin Chunhong was thorough in everything and his troops reached more than 1,000, Li Chongde finally felt relieved and devoted himself to preparing money and food.
Jingzhou City.
"Sir, what do Yan Jiehe say?" Lin Chunhong asked as soon as Zhang Daohan entered the room.
Under Lin Chunhong's eager gaze, Zhang Daohan nodded and said, "It's done, look!" Zhang Daohan took out a piece of paper from his arms. It turned out to be a copy of the document. There were words such as "Tell the inspectors of Zhijiang County to reorganize the archers and soldiers to follow the suppression."
Yan Jiehe was the garrison of Jingzhou. After receiving the news that Dangyang was broken by Wu Gan, he planned to send troops to wipe out Wu Gan. However, because the capital was besieged by Jiannu, Jingzhou also sent a king-sergeant army. Jingzhou was empty and in a state of suffocation, Zhang Daohan promptly proposed to order the township soldiers to cooperate in combat. Yan Jiehe agreed without thinking.
"You should go back to Bailizhou to wait for the order to dispatch troops. I guess it will arrive tomorrow. Be careful. Never reveal the truth. No one can save you by being a book of ginseng with hearts! Never underestimate Wu Gan, this thief's border army came out!" Zhang Daohan reminded.
Lin Chunhong did not delay and set off for Bailizhou immediately. Not long after arriving in Bailizhou, he had already issued a document and ordered Lin Chunhong to lead the Zhijiang bow soldiers to Banyue Town to join forces with the officers and soldiers to jointly attack Wu Gan. More than 500 guards and local men had already prepared for the improvement. Lin Chunhong immediately ordered to cross the river to Dangyang.
In the early morning of March 11, Lin Chunhong and others met Dou Shiwen and Zhou Shiliang and six others in half a month. Dou Shiwen is Dou Chong's son, and he is only eighteen years old. He wants to avenge his father, so he joined the guard team. This time he went to Dangyang County with Zhou Shiliang and others to find out the news. Before Dou Shiwen was breathing, he said: "Wu Gan is still in Dangyang, and bandits scattered in the city to kill and set fire, and the number of people is unclear."
Lin Chunhong asked, "Is there anyone guarding the city gate? Are there many people?"
Dou Shiwen replied: "There are about 200 people in the South Gate, and no one guards the other gates."
"Have you found out where Wu Gan is?"
When asked this, Dou Shiwen turned his head and looked at a new man beside him. The man had scars on his head, and his left arm was hung around his neck with a white cloth. He was wrapped around his arm, and there was a wooden board. Zhou Shiliang quickly pulled the person over and introduced: "This is Chen Sijin. The whole family was harmed by bandits and thugs. Before we entered the city, we happened to see him hiding and evasively looking around the city, so we asked about some situations. He was clear about the situation in the city."
Chen Sijin bowed and said, "I have met Lord Dianshi."
Lin Chunhong stared at his arm clamped by the wooden board and asked, "Who helped you pinch this?"
"I myself." Chen Sijin was a little confused about Lin Chunhong's attention to his arms, and couldn't help but continue asking: "Mr. Dian Shi is planning to go to Dangyang to suppress the bandits?"
Lin Chunhong nodded, and Chen Sijin couldn't wait to say, "Wu Gan is in the Song family yard in the west of the city. Please ask Lord Dian Shi to avenge my whole family!" At this point, Chen Sijin's face appeared abnormal blood red, and his lips were bitten, and his anger and sadness that had been suppressed for many days could no longer be suppressed. Tears in his eyes rolled out.
Seeing this, Lin Chunhong stopped asking and told him to go with the team. When Chen Si went in, he called Zhou Shiliang again and asked, "Have you ever seen it in the city? Where is Wu Gan really in that place?"
Zhou Shiliang replied: "Brother Dou and I went into the city in the dark and saw that Wu Gan was still in the Song family yard last night. The heads of the magistrate Shen Wenrui and Dian Shi Song Haitao were hung on the door of the county government."
When Lin Chunhong heard this, he discussed with Zhou Wang and others. Zhou Wang believed that as long as he killed Wu Gan and Zhang Ren, he would be able to suppress other bandits. Even if they escaped and lost their backbone, they would not be able to cause much storm. Finally, Zhou Wang reminded: "Do you want to wait for Yan Jiehe? After all, we only have more than a thousand people."
"Wait for him? It would be nice to be half a month in ten days. At that time, the daylily would be cold. If there were more than a thousand soldiers and even Wu Gan's shrimp soldiers and crab generals, I think I could just find a piece of mud to kill him!"
Therefore, Lin Chunhong ordered the troops to advance quickly and did not slack off at all.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
From the fifth day of the third month to enter Dangyang, Wu Gan's men have spent six unforgettable days. These six days have fully demonstrated their most primitive beast nature. The dripping blood has fully allowed them to experience the heroic spirit of men. The women of the best women have allowed them to experience the superiority of men. So much so that when Zhang Ren proposed to Wu Gan to withdraw from Dangyang City immediately, they still lingered and were reluctant to leave Dangyang County, which allowed them to leave beautiful memories. Wu Gan didn't want to leave. He had not lived in Song Dianshi's large courtyard enough, and many beautiful women had not enjoyed enough. He explained to Zhang Ren that it would take one or two days to discuss the dispatch of troops to Jingzhou. It would take at least three days to prepare for the improvement. In addition, it would take at least two days to march to Dangyang. In general, without ten days, the officers and soldiers would not be able to reach Dangyang City. Let the brothers have fun for a few more days and leave immediately after ten days.
Zhang Ren was unable to do so, so he had to take his men to stay at the South Gate, which was most likely to be attacked. This move was strongly dissatisfied by the men, but he was threatened by Zhang Ren's gun and rod. At the same time, several groups of bandits were sent to spread the necessary path from Jingzhou to Dangyang to act as whistle detectives, and agreed that some spirits would set off smoke during the day and set fire at night. The bandits sent were also considered Zhang Ren's confidants. With a heavy reward, Zhang Ren's order was executed thoroughly.
It is said that after Lin Chunhong led more than a thousand men to camp and rest for a night after arriving at Xujia Chong, the people of Xujia Chong heard that Dangyang City had already fled and hid in nearby mountains. Occasionally, they met a few refugees who escaped from Dangyang City on the road, and were all taken in the team by Lin Chunhong. Dangyang, who had just lipped, looked cold, and all the strong men surrounded the fire to keep warm. Although it was strictly forbidden to make loud noises, they could chat in a low voice.
"Boss Lin's father and two brothers were killed by Wu Gan. This time we can be regarded as revenge for the boss!" a strong man said in a low voice.
"Yes, Boss Lin treats everyone well, this time it's a brother to do something for Boss Lin." Another strong man stomped his feet and reached his hand closer to the fire.
"Why do you Baiya Cave girls cry for so many days when they get married? Are you really so sad?"
"What do you know? The more you cry, the happier you will be in the future."
...
The men were chatting happily, and the rain cloth that blocked the wind was suddenly lifted by Li Zuguang, and a timid man followed behind him. The man's eyes were red. When he saw the men, he knelt down on his knees and cried: "Wu Gan is not a thing. My whole family was killed by bandits. Even my wife who had just entered the family was ruined by them. You must avenge me!"
The tycoons looked at this man in shock, and it was hard to imagine the tragic situation of his family being destroyed.
A strong man couldn't help but come forward to help the man up and comforted him: "Brother, let's say slowly, we are here to beat Wu Gan. We have avenged you for this revenge!"
"That day, several bandits knocked on the door, but we didn't dare to open it. They broke through the door and slashed me with a knife as soon as they came in, and it slashed on my arm. I fainted from the pain." After saying that, the man untied his cotton jacket, and the white cloth that was covered with blood had long condensed into pieces, which was shocking.
"Later I woke up..." The man kept talking about Dangyang's miserable situation. Hearing these men, some people even picked up the knife and inserted it hard on the ground, cursing: "I will be a thief who will be a tyrant!"
When this man talked about the bandit seeing a pregnant woman and arguing whether the child was a man or a woman, he cut open the pregnant woman's belly to check, which made the strong men furious and wanted to rush into Dangyang City immediately and kill these inhuman bandits.
The same scene was staged in different camps. It turned out that Lin Chunhong saw that the attack on Wu Gan was avenging Lin Chunhong, so he found a group of refugees who escaped from Dangyang and arranged them to go to the Zhuangjun to tell their personal experiences, hoping to arouse their fighting spirit and instill the belief of being righteous and serving the people.
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Chunhong gathered in the team, rode on the horse, and shouted loudly: "I won't say much about anything else. These bandits should be cut into pieces. If anyone is afraid, just think about whether he is a man with two eggs!"
The strong men raised their swords and guns and shouted: "Kill all the bandits! Kill all the bandits!"
"Set out!" Lin Chunhong waved his big sword and rushed out first. All the strong men followed him one after another.
Five miles away from Dangyang, he saw several fireworks rising from afar. Lin Chunhong thought it was not good and immediately asked Zhou Wang to lead more than 300 people to go around the north gate to try to block it.
Seeing that fireworks were ignited in the south, Zhang Ren immediately sent someone to inform Wu Gan that someone would attack. Wu Gan was shocked and thought: "It was coming so fast that it must be a soldier from Jingzhou, but probably a group of archers who were blindly eye-opening."
So he immediately gathered a group of bandits and ordered the bandits to go up to the city wall to defend them.
Wu Gan climbed up the city wall. Before he could breathe, he saw hundreds of people rolling from the east, walking more than three hundred steps away from the city wall, and stopping in the array.
Wu Gan worked in Liaodong for a few years and was quite knowledgeable. Seeing that there were more than 300 armored people under the city, he was secretly shocked. He tried hard to make himself seem vague. He knew that once he was a little shaken, the mobs would run away without a trace.
"Who is coming? Let's sign up!" Wu Gan's voice was loud, and the northwest wind spread his roar from afar.
Lin Chunhong held a knife in his hand and slapped his horse out of the crowd, grabbed the reins, and shouted: "You beast deserve to know who I am?"
After Lin Chunhong said that, the strong men knocked on their shields and shouted: "Beast! Beast!"
Such provocative actions angered the bandits, and the bandits also shouted and cursed, but the words of cursing were different, and the voices of the savage were not as majestic as those of the savage.
At this time, Zhang Ren also rushed from the south gate. Seeing that Lin Chunhong and Lin Dewen were somewhat similar, he told Wu Gan about his guess. When Wu Gan heard this, he laughed and shouted: "Lin Dewen actually left a bastard, and he came to die today!"
Lin Chunhong was furious when he heard this, and turned around and shouted to the strong men: "Brothers, the beasts on the city are the main evil people who harm the villagers. Those who get this person's head will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver!"
Then, he waved the knife forward and ordered: "Lin Chunyi led the Archery Team to cover it, and Li Guangzu led the team to attack the city!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chunyi shouted, "Arrow Team, get on!" After saying that, he led the archers and arrows to slowly move forward and stopped eighty steps away from the city wall. Two cars were followed by, with a giant tree firmly tied to the top of each car, which was a simple rushing car. Last night, Lin Chunhong ordered two to be made for siege. Considering the tight time, Dangyang City Wall was not tall and strong, so he only made such simple things. Each rushing car was equipped with twenty-four people, twelve people pushing wood, and the other twelve people holding shields to provide necessary protection. Under the order of Li Guangzu, he stopped behind the arching cart.
With Lin Chunyi's order, the archers threw the bow and arrow onto the city wall, and the city wall suddenly became panic. Some cats were on the side of the city wall, some rushed towards the city tower, and several bandits were even hit by arrows and fell on the city wall and struggled and screamed, making the bandits even more nervous.
Wu Gan's personal soldiers were extremely nervous and immediately protected Wu Gan with their shields and retreated into the city tower.
There is also a lack of brave people among the bandits, and those with bows and arrows shoot down the city. Unfortunately, there are too few bows, too weak strength, and insufficient range, which will not cause much harm to Lin Chunhong's people.
When the strong men saw the bandits fleeing in a panic under the blow of bows and arrows, they cheered loudly. Seeing that the time had come, Li Guangzu shouted: "Car No. 1, get on!" After that, he personally pushed the car and rushed towards the city gate with the strong men.
Dangyang City is small and there is no moat to protect the city. The car is getting closer and closer to the city gate. There are about twenty steps left, and Li Guangzu ordered: "Accelerate!"
The strong men who were pushing the cart shouted, using all their strength to push the cart faster and faster! There are still ten steps, five steps, one step...
"Boom!" The iron sheet in front of the wood hit the city gate hard, and the dust on the city gate hole fell down, and a hole broke open in the city gate.
The huge voice woke Wu Gan up. He jumped out of the city tower and shouted desperately: "Brothers, smash it with stones!"
Song Haitao led the archers to guard the city gate and prepared some rolling stones, but now it was handy. Several brave bandits rushed forward and watched the car exit the city gate hole and smashed it down. There were a few screams below immediately, and someone was hit.
Lin Chunyi saw it and was anxious and couldn't help but curse: "Brothers, shoot me hard and shoot these dogs to death!"
The arrow rain became denser and denser, and several bandits were caught in arrows and fell to the ground. Originally, other bandits wanted to smash them with stones, but when they saw their companions were caught in arrows, they shouted and ran back. Wu Gan was so angry that he ran forward, chopped over a bandit with a knife, wiped the blood splashed on his face, and said fiercely: "Who dares to run again, I will kill whom! Zhang Ren, take my personal soldiers to supervise the battle!"
The bandits could not, so they had to turn around and throw stones in the rain of arrows. Suddenly, a single bandit was shot by a bow and arrow, and corpses were everywhere on the city tower, blood was flowing everywhere. Some bandits even called dying calls, which made other bandits even more afraid.
"Boom!" Another impact sound was made. After several consecutive impacts, the city gate shattered and fell. "Boom!" Another huge impact sound came, and the city gate made a creaking sound, slowly pouring into the city. With a thrust, it stirred up huge smoke and dust.
As soon as the city gate collapsed, dozens of bandits rushed out of the city gate. The bandits led by them were tall and used an iron stick to rush to the sturdy man.
"Chu Wenshan, lead the team into the city!" Lin Chunhong saw that the city gate had fallen, and ordered him to hurry. More than 300 people made strange screams, following Lin Chunhong, rushing out like a wild horse that broke away from reins. Lin Chunyi also ordered the archers to follow the swordsman and gunmen, and while moving forward, they shot the target with bows and arrows. The bandits with iron rods were very brave, but his bravery attracted many arrows. In the blink of an eye, they were shot like a hedgehog, with wide eyes pounced on the ground. The other bandits were so scared that they ran away and fled backwards.
When Wu Gan saw it, he quickly ordered other bandits to gather at the city gate and block the city gate. The bandits who fled back to the city were blocked by the bandits behind him. They couldn't help but greet the accomplices with swords and guns. Wu Gan said anxiously: "No retreat, whoever retreats will be killed!"
The fleeing bandits could not do so, so they had to turn back and fight. They happened to join Lin Chunhong and others who were rushing towards him, and died before they could react.
The bandits could not stop the high-spirited guards and retreated one after another. Zhang Ren led Wu Gan's personal soldiers to supervise the battle, and even some bandits greeted Zhang Ren, and more bandits ran to the side. When Wu Gan saw that something was wrong, he ran to the north gate. When Zhang Ren saw that Wu Gan ran away, he followed Wu Gan.
The bandits were like a flood that broke the dam, and they all rushed out, following Wu Gan. The shouts of killing behind were still reluctant to leave. Lin Chunhong commanded the guards to rush wherever Wu Gan went. The guards used swords and spears as arrows, and the archers were behind to cover them. They were too sharp to bear. Even if the bandits tried their best, they would be difficult to deal with, let alone like a dog who was struggling to stay in a panic all day long.
The smarter bandits saw the guards pointing at Wu Gan, and left Wu Gan's team and brought the harvests of the past few days, either hiding or coming out of the door. Zhang Ren saw something was wrong and hurriedly said, "Brother, this is not a solution. You have to keep someone behind, otherwise we will all be dead!"
"The people have all gone, who are you leaving?" Wu Gan said in despair as he looked at the bandits who fled in all directions.
Zhang Ren gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go, brother, take care of you. As long as you go to the deep mountains and forests, the officers and soldiers will have no choice but to take us!" After saying that, he stopped going to the north gate, stood with a gun, and shouted, "If you have the means to fight back with me!" After saying that, he poked the bandits who were running away with guns. The bandits screamed and fell to the ground. When the other bandits saw it, they were all brave and shouted, "I'd rather die in battle than run!" The bandits standing with their left and right also shouted, "I'd rather die in battle than run!"
Wu Gan looked back and saw the roars of seven or eight people overshadowing the shouts of killing. He couldn't help but hold the spear in his hand hard, and there was an urge to turn around to fight. Regret, anger and unwillingness intertwined, which made the bandit leader's eyes full of tears, and ordered more than a dozen personal soldiers to support Zhang Ren, and then took the other bandits to look at the north gate.
Lin Chunhong was surprised to see that more than 20 bandits were blocking the way. He saw that the person in front of him was covered in blood. After wiping it with his hands, it looked even more strange, standing in the street like a ghost. The more than 20 bandits next to him did not retreat, staring at the chasing officers and soldiers with hatred.
Lin Chunhong obviously didn't know Zhang Ren, so he wanted to take Zhang Ren, who was the leader and broke the rear. So he ordered the left and right not to shoot arrows, and it would be better to capture this person alive. This gave Zhang Ren the chance to escape. More than 20 people could not resist Lin Chunhong's impact. In a moment, Zhang Ren and others died to the point of death. Zhang Ren was even more stabbed in his arm, and blood flowed continuously. Zhang Ren could not help but look at the west gate with the five people.
Chapter completed!
