Chapter 223: Those who wish to take the bait
Chapter 223: The wishes take the bait
Dengzhou Prefecture was very harmful to Kong Youde. People's livelihood was in decline. The garrison would not get any benefits at all. It has always been very hard-working. These people especially envied their colleagues in Jinan Prefecture, who often detained the supplies of other camps to supplement themselves. In Dengzhou, food and wages are all transported by sea, and they can still rob themselves.
As a result, I was envious and there was news coming to my house. On the second day of the second month, a righteous gentry came to me to report the news, saying that it was the food and supplies purchased by Li Meng from Jiangnan, who went ashore on Rushan and prepared to transport them back to Laizhou Prefecture.
It seems that after Li Meng was seized by General Qiu, he did not dare to walk by land, and he also wanted to secretly go ashore from Rushan to transport. The news came from the General that Li Meng was a small character and dared not fight back. He could only cry and let go of the robbery.
The guards in Laiyang heard this news, fearing that too many people would come to share the news, so they just called in Qixia's familiar guards. The two of them rushed to set up an ambush near Rushan Village. Li Meng and the others were more familiar with each other than their bosses. They heard that they were rich and dared not touch them before, but now they found that they were paper tigers, and they happened to be slaughtering meat.
The spy who reported the news earlier had already gone back and forth several times, saying that the supply convoy of Jiaozhou Camp was getting closer and closer, which made these military generals feel like they couldn't sit still and were about to get rich.
Laizhou Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture also have their own ports. Why did Li Meng's food and salary go to Rushan in Dengzhou Prefecture? Why did the gentry who always stayed away take the initiative to come to tell the situation? From the perspective of bystanders, those who are slightly more normal-minded will see that there is a fraud.
However, there are a few sayings in this world, one is called the authorities' obsessed, and the other is called the desire to be vigilant.
"Tsk, tsk, so many big trucks, this mule and horse alone are not cheap."
"What about half and half of this mule and horse?"
"Brother Gu, I, Qixia, have all the people transferred here. You have only brought eight hundred, and it is fair to open three to seven."
"Oh, we are brothers, don't talk about this, we'll talk about it when we grab it!"
Qiu Lei's soldiers were also looking at the approaching convoy with their eyes shining brightly. From a distance, you could see the carriage piled with high grain bags, covered with tarpaulins, and the mules and horses were moving very slowly, obviously the weight was not light. If the food and wages were taken away, even if the officials were the ones who served as officials could make a fortune, the ones who served as soldiers could make a fortune.
The officers and soldiers were all in high spirits, and the front rows were still pushing and shoving, thinking that the front rows might be able to get more things, so that they should not be left behind.
The convoy was moving slowly, and finally entered the encirclement under the expectation of Dengzhou soldiers. The two guards shouted loudly in unison, and the officers and soldiers on both sides immediately rushed to the official road excitedly.
There were already a few merchants in front and behind the official road. Suddenly, they saw a group of wolves and tigers rushing up from both sides, each of whom was so scared that they were all gone. I thought that the soldiers who were like wolves and tigers ignored them at all and surrounded the fifty big cars on the land.
"Get out of here, the carriage and horse are left."
These robbery soldiers were just quick and easy. There were more than fifty big cars, a total of less than two hundred people. Even if the coachman was added, only more than three hundred people were ignored. In the eyes of these generals, it was already a mercy to not silence, so how could they encounter any resistance?
However, seeing these coachmen and guards were not panicked, they just leaned against the carriage and were still on the side of the carriage and were still thinking that things were wrong. But everyone was so excited that they were already confused. What's the use of one or two sober people? An impatient soldier immediately touched the carriage. He walked to the carriage and reached out to pull the tarpaulin.
"Thorn!"
With the sound of the cloth tearing, the cloth cracked itself, and an axe gun inside stabbed out, hitting the soldier's chest. The axe gun was very powerful because of the weight of the axe, and directly penetrated the soldier's trachea. The soldier couldn't breathe, so he could only struggle desperately, but his movements became smaller and smaller.
At this time, something was indeed wrong. After more than a dozen fast-moving soldiers ran to the vehicle, they were assassinated by weapons stretched out from the tarpaulin.
It will take a process to recover from the atmosphere of being about to make a fortune. Many people stood there and forgot that they also had weapons in their hands. However, the screams of more than a dozen companions finally made them wake up, and each soldier subconsciously took a few steps backwards.
The tarpaulins on the carriages were lifted up, and there were not food inside, but soldiers holding axes and guns. One third of these soldiers were wearing armor, and they all jumped out of the carriage silently and stood around the big carriage.
Looking at these soldiers who suddenly appeared, even the fool knew that they were ambushed by someone. The two guards were those who led the troops to fight. After a rough calculation, the opponent should have more than 900 people, one-third of the one on his side, and three times that of the other side, and it seems that the chance of victory should be great.
But the other party's equipment made them really jealous. Even if there was no food on the truck, it would be a rich harvest to remove the other party's weapons, clothes and armor.
"Brothers, this cart is clearly a robber of the Maitreya bandits. If you want to come to Dengzhou Prefecture to cause rebellion and destroy them, it will be a great contribution. The court must have rewarded a lot!"
The looting of friendly military pay is not something that can't be seen. Since the other party is prepared, it's time to tear the face and silence it. Besides, the soldiers of Qixia and Laiyang naturally saw that there were many more people from home, and the chariots, horses, armor and weapons also made them quite jealous, so they could also sell money. Hearing the boss of their family say this, it's a matter of characterizing the other party. As long as they kill the other party, they can be charged with the Maitreya bandits. At that time, everyone has made merits and no demerits, and there will definitely be many benefits.
The soldiers also started to clamor and were scared away just now, and now they pushed Sangsang back. These soldiers had fought with Kong Youde and Liao soldiers back then, but those who had seen blood were different, so naturally there were many bachelors.
"Kill!"
The first person who called out this sentence was not Qiu Lei's subordinates, but a coachman standing in the car, with a full voice.
If the two guards and the officers below were clear-headed, they would have seen that the axe and spearmen surrounded did not look much panic on their faces, but were just silent and gloomy. They were obviously enemies with few and had such a mental state, either with a large number of support or were very confident in themselves.
Although the axe and gunmen stood around the carriage, in this short period of time, the soldiers still lined up in an extremely likely order. Before the order was shouted out, their axe and guns were already flat. After a command, the soldiers shouted in unison and rushed towards the enemy opposite.
The soldiers of Jiaozhou Camp have great experience in assassination tactics brought by Li Meng from modern times, and have great experience in assassination. Such short-distance charges are proficient in exercising force. Moreover, the axe and spearmen are all veterans of Jiaozhou Camp, which is even more extraordinary.
Many of the Dengzhou soldiers on the opposite side did not lay their spears flat, and they saw the other party rushing towards them in a fierce manner. Many people were caught off guard and screamed immediately.
The assassinated fell to the ground. Although the people behind were panicked, they also saw veterans who had seen blood. They cursed and picked up weapons and went forward to fight. In this situation, they wanted to retreat, but they were all people behind them and could not run away at all. Instead, they sold their backs to the enemy, so they were waiting to be massacred.
The soldiers of Dengzhou were all long weapons and just stood in front of them. The soldiers holding swords and shields were behind them. Seeing the opponent's charge was exhausted, it was a good opportunity to fight with swords and shields. Short weapons were to get close to them to fight with long weapons, so that the long weapons could not be used.
The sword and shield soldier rushed out two steps and saw the opponent lifting the axe and gun down diagonally, slashing down fiercely. The axe on the axe is of great weight, and it is extremely powerful to raise it up like this.
The Dengzhou soldiers reacted quickly and raised their shield to cover it. The axe hit the shield heavily. Such a wooden round shield could not be protected at all. They were immediately shattered and shattered, and they directly removed their arms and shoulders. They fell to the ground immediately, howling and rolling, and they couldn't even die.
Those who did not raise their shields were lucky. The axe was killed directly, and half of their bodies flew away. The previous battles of Dengzhou soldiers were nothing more than firearms and bows and arrows flying. Then everyone rushed up in a noisy way. Everyone was in the army to eat food, steal the people, and save their lives.
But these soldiers from Jiaozhou Camp were not fighting like this. The distance between the two sides was only ten steps away. The exposed skin of the soldiers on the front line was stuck to the splashed limbs and blood. Accompanied by the continuous angrily shouting and impact from the soldiers of Jiaozhou Camp, the bloody aura spread. In addition to bullying the people, the gangster soldiers who had never practiced could no longer hold on.
The person behind secretly retreated, and the person in front knew that it was difficult to escape. While scolding himself for being confused, he rushed in front, howling and preparing to fight desperately, someone also saw some loopholes, one stab at the same time. This third stroke was either flat or flat, or raised and chopped high. There was always a gap, either accumulating strength or widening the distance.
Some people rushed to the front with no chance, but they killed several axe gunmen, but that's all. The axe gunmen had already changed into two rows. The armored people stood in the first row, and the people in the back row were responsible for protecting them. Now there was no room for them. Two axe guns, one in front and one behind, cooperated with each other, as if they were the monster's mouths, opening and closing, constantly swallowing the lives of the people in front of them.
The two guards became more and more anxious as they fought. Although there were many soldiers on their side, they were still in a stalemate, but the other side set up a situation and they could not decide quickly, but they were dragged down. This was not right.
