Chapter 38 Captured
"Damn, I'm in ambush."
When Yang Xiao led the horse team to attack the bandits at the tunnel entrance, Li Guo and others who were still moving in the dark in the tunnel heard the sound of horse hooves like thunder from the ground. All the horses of the rebels were taken away by Gao Yingxiang and beaten Hanzhong. On this acre of three-point land in Meixian, there would be no one else except Zuo Liangchen.
"Brother Guo, what should I do?"
Behind Li Guo was Hao Yaoqi. He also realized that something was wrong and shouted loudly.
"The dog official is sly, it's too late to turn back now. I'll survive in death. Brothers, please rush me!"
The tunnel was narrow and long, and could only pass by one person. Li Guo knew that if he gave the order to turn around, it would have been a waste of time just to the ears of the man in the last team. By then, the rebels guarding the tunnel entrance would have been killed. In desperation, he felt fierce and shouted loudly. He ran forward desperately along the tunnel. But the tunnel was too dark and extremely narrow. Although he rolled and crawled forward, he could not raise his speed.
“Go to the place.”
Li Guo ran desperately for hundreds of meters, and saw a light appearing above the front, and knew that he had arrived at the exit of the tunnel.
When Li Guo saw this situation, he felt cold. Because in order to hide the truth, there must be secret doors on both ends, and there would be no light at all. Now that he saw the light, it was obvious that the officers and soldiers were waiting for them. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch the wound on his face and cursed Zhao in his heart, but he didn't expect that the seemingly vicious Zhao was actually the death of Zuo Liangchen's dog official.
"Brothers, rush out!" Li Guo was a general in command after all, and his spirits were reduced and he raised it again as soon as he yelled desperately, and his voice became extremely dull in the long tunnel.
"Dog thief, grandpa has been waiting for you for a long time."
With a shout from above, a ball of dry firewood with a fire was thrown down from above.
Seeing this situation, Li Guo was despaired. It seemed that the officers and soldiers were planning to beat them all here. In desperation, they used their arms to pull out their waist knife, trying to pick the dry firewood out of the hole.
But unfortunately, the tunnel was too narrow. He moved and the blade immediately hit the wall of the hole. He didn't borrow any strength. The bundle of dry firewood went straight to his head and pressed it.
Li Guo threw his sword and rolled backwards. Only then did he avoid the dry firewood and did not burn himself. However, Hao Yaoqi, who was suffering, made Li Guo hit him right away. In addition, the thieves behind him all knocked to the ground and turned into rolling gourds.
"Damn!" Looking at the burning fire in front of him, Li Guo shouted and cursed. In this narrow space, the official army did not need to spend a single soldier or a soldier, just a few bundles of dry firewood were enough. Even if they were not burned to death, they would be suffocated to death.
"Brother Guo, let's surrender!" Looking at the fire in front of him, a trace of fear appeared on Hao Yaoqi's face. Although he regarded human life as a mustard, it did not mean that he didn't care about his own life. What's the difficulty of surrendering? It's just a matter of rebellion after a while. The rebel army is familiar with this. Even the King of Rebellion Gao Yingxiang has surrendered, let alone the big-headed soldiers below.
"Surrender!" Li Guo's heart moved. Surrendering in this situation was a clever plan.
"Twist more and burn them to death!" Li Ying stood on the entrance of the tunnel. Although he could not see the face of the rebels in the tunnel, he could imagine it. He had never fought such a labor-saving battle since his debut. Although the bandits were not strong in combat, they had to waste their energy even killing pigs. Now he didn't have to do anything, just throwing a few bundles of dry firewood to kill all these bandits, and such a deal was worthy of being sold.
Li Guo was shocked when he heard Li Ying's words. He stood at the front of the team and could clearly feel the hot flames. Now he had already made his face red and sweaty. If there was more fire, he would not be able to survive.
"Sir, don't set fires, we are willing to surrender." Li Guo shouted loudly.
"Yes, I'm willing to surrender." There were also messy shouts behind Li Guo.
"I want to surrender again, do you think I'm that stupid Chen Qiyu?" Li Ying laughed and kicked a bundle of dry firewood: "I won't accept your surrender."
"I accept your surrender!" Just as Li British finished speaking, Yang Xiao's voice sounded behind him.
"Sir, I'll be back so soon." Li Ying asked Qi as he looked at Yang Xiao who suddenly appeared.
"Yeah!" Yang Xiao replied. He just rode out and fought around, and looked at the thief. He let his subordinates do all the murders.
"Sir, the bandits are trapped in the tunnel, and they must be surrendering." Li British argued anxiously.
"In my hands, there will be no fake surrender, just execute the order!" Yang Xiao laughed, revealing two lines of white teeth, and then ordered: "First tie them up with a rope, then ask them for their names and positions, and then return them to me later."
Yang Xiao threw a word and turned his head to leave, leaving only the angry Li Ying. He angrily kicked the sergeant beside him, shouting and cursing: "Didn't you hear the order of the lord? Go find a rope, come up and tie one for me. Then take out all their ancestors and eight generations. If anyone dares not say anything, beat me up a bitch."
Yang Xiao returned to the house, took off his leather armor, and put on the scholar's regular clothes. The clothes were made from the Zhao family by his subordinates, and they were brand new and never worn before. It happened to be cheaper Yang Xiao. He put them on his body and restored his scholarly spirit.
"My lord, everyone caught it. There were 371 people in total. The leader was Li Guo, who was Li Zicheng's nephew." After about two or three hours, Li British came to report.
"Get the roster."
"yes!"
Li British had already prepared the roster. After hearing Yang Xiao's request, he hurriedly handed it to him with both hands.
"Li Guo!"
"Hao Yaoqi!"
"Liu Erdan!"
“…”
Yang Xiao looked at all ten lines and read all three hundred and seventy-one names before he closed the roster. There were only two names he knew, and it was the thief leader in the front and back teams when he was serving as a pacifier. Among them, Li Guo was Li Zicheng's nephew, and Hao Yaoqi also had a reputation in history.
"Take them to the small square in front of the ancestral hall. I want to perform a good show." Yang Xiaowei thought for a while, and then issued an order.
"Yes!" Li Ying didn't understand the reason and knew that he would ask more questions. He would be fine when he could watch the show. After answering, he went out to do his business.
"Zhengnan, Sanqi, you are back."
Just after seeing Li Ying off, Wang Zhengnan and Liu Sanqi turned around again.
"Sir, kill all the bandits, and ensure that no one is missing!" Liu Sanqi was covered in blood, but was extremely excited, standing there clasping his fists.
"Thank you for your hard work, go pack up, change your clothes, and then go to the small square." Yang Xiao patted his shoulder and smiled.
"Thank you!"
After Yang Xiao patted his shoulder, Liu Sanqi only felt that his bones were a little lighter and left with a smile.
"Sir, all the bandits in the tunnel have been tied up. It is useless to keep the subordinates. Therefore, only a few people were left to guard the entrance of the tunnel and return to the camp with the rest of their brothers." Wang Zhengnan said seriously.
"Thank you for your hard work, you can go back and rest! It's cold and it's not good to be ambushed outside!"
