Chapter 45 Chapter Eight

Let's talk about the fierce battle between the Goose Camp and the Taiping Army in Huangtiandang, which really killed "human heads rolling like melons, and corpses piled up like a mountain."Yan Pai Li Si went straight to the enemy leader Zhan Tianhou in the melee, but he was shot coldly. Rao was very clever and dodged very fast, but he was too close, and he was shot blind by lead pellets and iron sand. If the eyes were off by an inch and a half, I'm afraid they would have been shot through the head by lead bullets on the spot. Li Si of the Wild Goose Pai was also really brave, disregarding the bloody eyes in his eyes, he turned over after falling to the ground, and got up like a madman. He picked it up from the ground, clamped it under the tuck and strangled his neck, and captured him alive before the battle.

Seeing that the general situation was over, the rest of the Taiping army scattered and retreated in all directions.The wild goose battalion bravely killed them, and refused to keep prisoners at all. They chased up and killed them one by one. Swinging their knives, they would chop anything alive and kill anything they saw moving.This fierce battle lasted until dusk and dusk, and the water in the prodigal son was stained red with blood. The Yanying sent people to fly to Lingzhou City to report the victory, and the rest of the brigade stayed behind to treat the wounded and return the corpses.From ancient times to the present, soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and there is a saying that "kill one thousand enemies, and self-injury eight hundred". Tuanyong, Yanhu, and various thieves in the camp also lost no fewer than 2,000 people.

Li Si of the Yan Pai broke one of his tricks, and his face was covered with blood. Fortunately, the bullet did not enter his brain. A doctor accompanying the army rushed over and used mercury that could melt metal to remove the lead embedded in his eye socket, so he was saved. a life. Zhang Xiaozhuan was next to him, and when he saw the seriously injured Yan Pai Li Si and Sun Dazi whose corpse was lying on the ground, he wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry, his heart was so cold that he needed more Regret is as much as regret: "If I had known that the old ghost in the forest pointed out this glory and wealth, it was to take the lives of my brothers and sisters, I would rather not have the third master. Sun Dazi and I have a fateful friendship. The people escaped together from Jincoffin Village, and they always took care of each other, like brothers and sisters; later, they became brothers in life and death, hoping that one day in the future, they could share the prosperity and wealth together. gone."

Zhang Xiaozhuan had seen many things about life and death in the past, but they were all irrelevant to him. After seeing it a lot, his heart became numb. It was only at this moment that he really hurt his brothers and sisters that he knew the pain of parting from life and death.After a battle is fought, a living person who was originally a good person will be gone if he says nothing, how can he feel in his heart?He decided to abandon his position as an officer of the Wild Goose Camp, planning to escape far away, but he thought again, when the world is in chaos, where is there any place for peace in the world?Now there is no turning back. If he hadn't run this way to Hei, wouldn't Sun Dazi's death be in vain?He was thinking wildly in his mind, and he couldn't make a decision for a long time.

Yan Ling'er bandaged up his elder brother's wound, and the two came to persuade Zhang Xiaozhuan, after all, no one survives in a war, and the dead cannot be brought back to life, but after today's battle, our wild goose camp will surely become famous all over the world, and these brothers also It was a worthy death.Instead of sacrificing prisoners and asking for credit, it is better to cut open the heart of the thief chief Zhan Tianhou, and pay homage to the spirits of the fallen brothers.Zhang Xiaozhuo was in a trance, nodded and said: "It's all up to the fourth brother."

At this time, dusk was low, the yellow sky was bleak and windy, shrouded in gloomy clouds and mist, all the brave men in the wild goose camp had already gathered up the corpses and buried them, and a coffin tablet was hastily set up in front of the grave.Yan Pai Li Si ordered his subordinates to tie the captured Zhan Tianhou into a five-flowered bundle and bring him to the spirit seat. The arrow cluster on Zhan Tianhou's shoulder hadn't been pulled out yet, the blood from the wound kept dripping, he knelt down in front of Yan Pai Li Si, begging for his life: "Should I tell the strong man, if you spare my life..."

Yan Pai Li Si drew the steel knife in his hand, pointed coldly at the rows of spiritual seats and said, "It's not hard to spare your life, you just need to let my brothers nod and agree." As the breeze passed by, Zhan Tianhou fell to the ground with his head filled with blood.Li Si of the wild goose row asked the two knife and axemen who stood by and obeyed his orders to go forward and dig out the hearts of the people, and sacrificed them under the altar. Most of the dead in the wild goose camp were the father, brother and son of the wild goose people in Huang Tiandang. They cried loudly when they set up their spirits. Some wives cried for their husbands, some old mothers cried for their sons, and some brothers cried for their siblings. The sentry officer threw paper money and recited the order of rewarding orphans.

The order said: "The mountains are far away and the water is far away. Build a bridge between two bright mountains; take the rice with rice, incense and paper money; call out the heroes and souls, and stop on the road to Huangquan; stop and don't look back. Listen to my reward and pass on the words; On that day, there was a fate to form golden orchids, and the kindness was as bright as the sun and the moon; the kindness was as deep as the sea and the bottomless, and the righteousness was as heavy as the mountain; the righteousness was higher; we came to eat food and serve as soldiers, and went to the battlefield to dye our robes with blood; Brother died in Huangquan, Yin and Yang are separated and it is difficult to see each other; although there is not much money to burn paper, I still hope that Yingxian will come to receive it; I hope you will ascend to heaven as soon as possible, and bless us with a long life; we will not meet again in this life, and we will be like Taoyuan in the next life.”

After the command spell was cast, the crowd incinerated and sent out their spiritual tablets amidst the sound of geese whistles, and camped in the prodigal son that night, and the next day followed the military order, and the geese camp was going back to Lingzhou City.Those wild goose households and bandits from all walks of life who came to help the war took a lot of money from the dead on the battlefield. Some of them bid farewell and went back on their own after getting money; He didn't regard life and death as a matter, but just wanted to take advantage of the chaos of war to make a fortune, so he went to the wild goose camp to act as a group brave.

In this way, when the wild goose camp left the city, it was only a team of nearly a thousand people. After the battle of Huang Tiandang, many brothers were lost.It was a custom in the militia at that time to join the group. Only by forming a life-and-death brotherhood could they trust each other with their lives. Headed by battalion officer Zhang Xiaozhuan and Yan Pai Li Si, the sentry officers and Tuanyong below all lined up one by one, and issued orders: "The men from the east mountain come to the west mountain, the birds come for food, the people come for wealth, and the butterflies only die for picking flowers. Mr. Zhao died with Zhuguang. Brother Yuyuan came to the mountain hall, regardless of whether you are on the stage or not, first set up thirty-six gold chairs, and then seventy-two silver benches. Those who are in place, those who are not in a row."

Although the world's thieves and thieves are scattered all over the world, since the rebellion of the Green Forest Army and the Red Eyebrow Army in the Han Dynasty, they have also formed a party of their own, echoing each other in various places, and all dynasties and dynasties have the leader of the bandits as their leader.The bandit leader is also known as the "chief scooper", occupying Dongting Lake for eight hundred miles.Dongting Lake is surrounded by thousands of mountains, connected with three rivers, and controls the situation of the world. It has always been a lair of thieves.The Yanhu thieves in Huang Tiandang are just a branch of it. Since most of the people who entered the wild goose camp this time were outsiders, the wild goose had to sort out Li Si, and personally asked the newcomer Tuanyong with the "Taokou": "The gate of the mountain will be opened at noon today, and all the brothers listened to the truth. Jiudao has settled the road of life and death. Who dares to enter this mountain gate? It’s not for those who are capable, don’t get started, don’t come if you are not a brother; leave early if you are not rich, and turn back early if you don’t have enough foundation; leave as soon as you pretend to be an expert, and ask for your head if you find out; Zhongzheng is dangerous; brothers in the upper four ranks break the order, dig a hole and jump by themselves; brothers in the lower ranks break the order, and they will never be forgiven." Those who join the group have heard the rules clearly, and if they want to declare their identities and origins, they all have to use clichés.For example: "I listened to my elder brother calling me, straightened my clothes and came to see; I am lucky to meet with my brothers today, it is really a predestined relationship in my previous life; my brothers are courageous and knowledgeable, and all of them are famous people; pity me for my stupidity, I am backward, The words don’t look around the sea; a certain place is the county where I was born, a certain township and a certain village are my homeland; a certain year and a certain month my mother was in trouble, and a certain month and a certain day I went down to earth; a certain mountain and a certain village were planted with incense, Today, I joined the wild goose camp as a sworn brother; when I entered the camp, I obeyed the order and swore to show my sincerity; if I disrespect my brother, my head will be cut off; if I don’t love my brother, my heart will be plucked out; if I don’t respect my brother and don’t love my brother, I will die short-lived.” The battalion officer also asked what proof?Backwardly, he replied, "Using the cutting of incense as a basis", and at this time he wanted to break off the grass incense in his hand, indicating that if he violated this statement, he would be cut off like this incense stick. Yan Pai Li Si kept all the people who could be kept, and sent back those who were not clear. He re-counted the bravery in the battalion, a total of more than 2,200 people, and his strength has increased by more than half, so he is very happy.Only Zhang Xiaozhuan muttered inwardly, seeing more and more soldiers and horses, this is a sign that the battle is about to get bigger and bigger.Probably more and more people will die. If the fight continues like this, I don't know how many brothers and sisters will be killed or injured.When will the road that Mr. Zhang is taking now come to an end?It is expected that thinking too much will not help, and it will be resigned to fate.Immediately rectify the team and return to the city to obey orders. The wild goose camp smashed the Cantonese invaders in Huang Tiandang, and it really shocked the world. The emperor in the capital heard the good news and moved his face with joy, saying that I am in sight of Zhongxing. The Ministry of War made an exception and added the post of general to Zhang Xiaozhuan.Even though he is a military officer of the third rank, he also holds the salary of the court, but in fact it is a vain title. Let him be his battalion officer. In addition, as a reward, the regiment bravery in the battalion will be double paid in the future. Admiral Tuhai originally wanted to use the knives of the Taiping Army to get rid of the Lingzhou Goose Camp, but who would have thought of such a result? Instead, this generation has been fulfilled, and he felt that Zhang Xiaozhuo and Yan Pai Li Si were very capable, and they were the best in the city. There are so many buddies, if you push them tight, I'm afraid there will be some other kind of big trouble, so I have to hold my grudge and bear it in my heart for the time being.Moreover, it was his idea to dispatch the goose camp to intercept the Cantonese invaders. Of course, it was inevitable that he would report to the court and ask for credit for himself. These things are ignored. It is only said that time flies, cold comes and summer goes, autumn and winter are over, spring and summer are over, Zhang Xiaozhuan was appreciated by the governor, and he became the officer of the wild goose camp.Although he doesn't know how to kill in battle formations, most of the Yan Pai Li Si and others under his command are brave and skilled generals in today's world, and they are even more willing to work hard for him. Fighting, siege cities and villages everywhere, and regained several important towns near Lingzhou City. On this day, the wild goose camp returned to the city to rest and reorganize the team, so Zhang Xiaozhuan took a free time and came to the Maoxian Temple alone.When those wild cats saw an acquaintance coming, they all flocked to play with him in the temple. Zhang Xiaozhuan fed the wild cats something, then crossed his legs and leaned on the altar.In the past half a year, he has experienced countless killings, and suddenly he felt a sense of emotion. At first, he dreamed of seeking prosperity and wealth, but there are swords and soldiers everywhere in the world, and he doesn't know when Mr. Zhang will have a stable meal. eat?I knew that being a human being is hard. When I was reincarnated, it would be better to ask the reincarnation king to entrust the third master to be a wild cat in Lingzhou. Just as he was so troubled, he suddenly heard a dry wood-like voice saying coldly: "Wu, is your old friend safe?" Zhang Xiaozhuan was startled, and hurriedly jumped up from the altar. When he looked up, he saw There is one more person in the cat fairy temple.The man was wearing a tattered gray robe, which seemed to be an old costume taken from a dead man in an ancient tomb, and his face was covered, with only two lifeless eyes showing. Auspicious old ghost in the forest. Zhang Xiaozhuan hadn't seen this person for half a year, unexpectedly came to the door today, wanted to ask him something urgent, and hurriedly sang a big song, but before it was too late to talk, the old ghost in the forest suddenly said: "Master Zhang, you are in a catastrophe, your life will be lost, and you still want to play around here!" This is exactly "you sit at home behind closed doors, it is hard to prevent disasters from heaven".If you want to know what will happen next, let's see the decomposition of the final volume "Water Temple".
