Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 208 Massacre
Zhu Changyuan's army did withdraw, and there were only 400 people guarding Luo Zhixiong at the foot of the mountain.

Luo Zhixiong led the crowd to rush down and pulled out all the tents of Zhu Changyuan's barracks. When he saw that there were only three or four hundred people, he laughed loudly, and even said without shame: "Zhu Changyuan, Zhu Changyuan, no matter how good you are, in the end But it fell into the hands of our desperate Hades."

After speaking, he led his army to fight the 400 people below.

However, after the fighting started, Luo Zhixiong suddenly discovered a serious problem: the 400 people seemed small, but they couldn’t be moved. There were fewer and fewer people fighting against him, but there were not many fallen enemies. .

Especially the leading ones, the real Nima can fight, and it is more than enough for one to fight ten.

Moreover, this group of people not only did not run away when facing many refugees, but also slowly gained the upper hand, and in turn blocked the intersection up the mountain, so now even if Luo Zhixiong wants to go up and return to his cottage no more.

The back road is cut off!
"Shhhhh..."

"boom!"

A firework flew into the sky, and it was hard to see how brilliant it was in broad daylight, but a loud noise could be heard by everyone within five miles.

"Okay, brothers, let's go and make dumplings."

Not far away, Zhu Changyuan, who was lying in ambush in the woods, yelled loudly, and led eight or nine hundred people under his command, and ran towards the battlefield of the decisive battle.

"Are you afraid?" Zhu Changyuan walked up to Li Baohe and asked.

"Don't be afraid, isn't it just hunting bandits?" Zhu Changyuan felt amused by Li Baohe's eagerness to try.

"Let's go!" Zhu Changyuan rode in front, and the people behind rushed behind, "One head, one tael of silver."

Hearing Zhu Changyuan's reward standard, all the soldiers' eyes lit up with flames. Even though one tael of silver was not much, it was enough to cover a soldier's salary for a month.

On the battlefield, Polu took the lead to block the front, Bai Gang, Sun Hongbo and Wang Maozi lined up left and right to defend the intersection of the mountain, even though Luo Zhixiong's 3000 troops took turns to attack, they just defended firmly and did not retreat.

Among them, Polu was the easiest, and the thief would dare to step forward seeing his force of almost knocking down one with one move.

"Shoot, shoot, shoot 'em!"

After fighting for half an hour, Luo Zhixiong finally remembered that he still had a bow and arrow, and immediately ordered his subordinates to start shooting at the soldiers blocking the mountain road.

Polu and the others are skilled in martial arts and are masters in the rivers and lakes. It is more than enough to avoid the bows and arrows flying from a distance, but the ability of the soldiers behind them to dodge is a little worse. Even so, there are still no major casualties. The reason is simple: Although Luo Zhixiong has archers and bows and arrows, but not many, only dozens of bows and arrows, the lethality is really limited.

At this time, Zhu Changyuan led a large group of people to rush over, and surrounded the people who were fighting fiercely in the middle.

Li Xin laughed loudly and said, "Desperately, King of Hades, you have fallen into the trap."

So this damned Zhu Changyuan didn't leave, but hid nearby?

Luo Zhixiong first looked at Zhu Changyuan with resentment, then showed a bitter look, and shouted to his subordinates: "Stop, stop, stop fighting." He said to Li Xin and Zhu Changyuan, "I surrender, surrender, I have gold and silver, and it all belongs to you."

He thought that Zhu Changyuan and others, like him, came here to suppress the bandits because they were interested in gold and silver.

"Surrender?" Li Xin smiled slightly and said, "Okay, everyone, put down your weapons, raise your hands and take three steps back!"

Luo Zhixiong's subordinates followed suit. Most of the refugees did not have any weapons. Some even put down all the pots and pans in their hands, fearing that Li Xin would mistake them for weapons.

"Take it!" Zhu Changyuan ordered, and the soldiers here immediately stepped forward and collected all the weapons of Luo Zhixiong's soldiers.

Zhu Changyuan ordered to camp on the spot again, and Polu and Bai Gang led all the soldiers to surround the bandits and watch them in case of accidents.

A seemingly arduous task of suppressing bandits ended in such a funny and relaxed way, which was unexpected by Zhu Changyuan. After walking around the big tent twice, he poured a glass of water for Li Xin himself, and said: " This time, I would like to thank Mr. Li for your help, not only borrowing soldiers and horses, but also giving advice to my subordinates, you are the number one hero."

Li Xin smiled slightly, disapproving, and said indifferently: "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, the general may not have noticed such a small contribution, right?"

Zhu Changyuan chuckled, and asked: "Most of these soldiers who surrendered are innocent civilians. It's just a life force to follow the rebellion and flow into the mountains to become bandits. It's a helpless move. Mr. Li will see if it's okay..."

"General, the benevolence of women ruins a big deal!" Li Xin took a sip of tea, stepped forward to salute Zhu Changyuan respectfully, and said, "General, if you are merciful this time, it will be very difficult to suppress the bandits next time. If we are ruthless this time, we will be able to take down the bandits in the entire Xiangyang Prefecture without bloodshed, and Xiangyang will be peaceful from now on."

"However, this general feels that this matter is too hurtful to the peace." Zhu Changyuan is not hypocritical, he really cannot bear it. If you ask a person with a modern concept of peace to kill innocent civilians, he really can't do it.

If the person standing in front of him was the Fusang devil or the Tungus Jian captivity, he would not be merciless at all, but civilians, Nima, these are all civilians, and this will be punished by God.

"If the general is merciful this time, it will be difficult to suppress the bandits next time or even the next time. Not only will innocent soldiers be killed in vain, but more innocent people will also be killed. So general, please don't hesitate any longer."

Zhu Changyuan finally couldn't make up his mind, and said, "Why don't you take it back to the Xiangyang mansion and hand it over to Governor Xiong."

Li Xin was silent for a long time, nodded, and said, "That's fine."

At noon, they buried pots for cooking, and in the afternoon, they collected Luo Zhixiong's belongings. Looking at the gold and silver in more than ten large boxes, Zhu Changyuan said: "Who said that these refugees have no food to eat? Do you have money? The gold and silver they robbed is enough for them to eat for a lifetime."

"Therefore, poor people must have something to hate." Li Xin snorted coldly, glanced at Luo Zhixiong, and said, "These mountain kings pretend to be pleading for the people, but they are actually more hateful vampires than the government."

Now that Ping'an's bandits were successfully suppressed, Zhu Changyuan led the army in the afternoon and escorted more than [-] people all the way out of the deep mountains and old forests. There were too many people and the road was difficult to walk. It's still early for this mountain.

At night, he found a slightly wider place to set up camp. Li Xin went to Zhu Changyuan's army tent to invite Ying, and said: "General, I have been tired all the way. Let my subordinates go to settle down the people outside at night."

Zhu Changyuan nodded and said, "Alright!"

After settling down, Polu, a loyal guard, waited outside Zhu Changyuan's account, standing guard with a spear in his hand, like a soldier.

With Polu around, Zhu Changyuan could sleep comfortably, but fell asleep in a daze for a while, and he didn't know how long he had slept, when he was suddenly awakened by a miserable burst of crying and cursing, and the sound was even more miserable when he got out of the tent , asked Polu: "What's going on?"

Polu looked at the dark sky in the distance, and said: "It's Mr. Li, he ordered to kill all the prisoners."

"What?" Zhu Changyuan hurriedly put on his clothes, said "fuck you!" and ran out, Polu followed closely behind, saying: "My lord, it's dangerous there, you can't go there."

Zhu Changyuan's face darkened, he stopped and said, "So you know about it, why didn't you report it to me?"

Polu said: "Mr. Li told me not to tell you before. He said that it was for the sake of the general's future great cause. All the crimes should be borne by him. He also said that he would not tarnish your reputation, young prince."

"I..." Zhu Changyuan almost cursed, "Am I afraid that my reputation will be damaged? This shit also killed thousands of people."

With a sudden heartbeat, he got on his horse and ran towards the place where the screams came from, secretly thinking that Li Xin would really choose a place, and even dragged these bandits so far away to kill them, is it because he doesn't want me to stop them?

Just running halfway, he was suddenly stopped by Li Xin in white who was rushing towards him, and said, "General, you must not go!"

"Fart, be bold!" Zhu Changyuan's voice was trembling, "So, so." He was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he gasped for a while, pointing at Li Dao: "It hurts me too!"

Li Xin hurriedly knelt down on the ground, and said: "I have a good friend who lives in seclusion on the high platform of Songshan Mountain. He can predict things like a god. He knows 500 years before and 1 years later. He once told me about the general. General Xu is number one in the world. Abandoning the idea of ​​defecting to Zicheng, I made a special trip to assist the general in achieving the unworldly hegemony. Today, I am punished by death, and when the general achieves the hegemony in the future, I will apologise with death!"

After Li Xinyan finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily to the ground again.

Zhu Changyuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Hearing the screams and fights in the distance gradually subsided, his heart seemed to be crushed by a big rock, and he sat down heavily on the ground.

"General!"

"Little prince." After a while, Polu also rushed over, saw Zhu Changyuan sitting on the ground, and said: "Little prince, Polu is guilty, please punish him, Polu is willing to die."

"You are all innocent, I am the one who is guilty." Zhu Changyuan was extremely depressed, and finally could not hear the movement over there, but this made him more dazed and panicked than anything else.

"General!" Polu stood up, then ran to Zhu Changyuan, knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "The general teaches us on weekdays, saying that we should be more bandit-like, and Polu also thinks that when the world changes drastically, The general must not be lenient."

"Get up."

Zhu Changyuan patted Polu on the shoulder, without saying a word, abandoned his horse and walked back to the barracks.

He knew that Polu's rhetoric just now was actually Li Xin's rhetoric, and Polu was too honest to say that kind of thing.

"Perhaps, they are right." Zhu Changyuan sighed softly, and muttered to himself: "Only in this way can the entire Xiangyang Mansion be wiped out at the least cost, and the strength can be accumulated as quickly as possible. At the end of Ming Dynasty Standing out from the complicated and chaotic world, maybe the heart really has to become a little harder."
