The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 36 Siege War (2)

Jiang Tao under the city waited eagerly, only to see that the Qing army on the city was much smarter, few people poked out of the city, and some were fleeting, so he couldn't help explaining to his subordinates.

"We are the Black Tiger General under the third prince Zhu. Those who surrender will not die, and those who help the heavenly army will be rewarded. As long as they are people of the former Ming Dynasty, they will not blame the past. Reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and return me to the world." Everyone roared at the top of their voices. Road, like thunder, deafening.

Jiang Tao has no choice but to sell dog meat like this. Who calls him a bandit? Only by using the name of the third prince Zhu can reduce the resistance of the officers and soldiers and increase his popularity.

Although it is said that the gun is the first bird, it is super difficult to become bigger and stronger without a reputation. Jiang Tao really wants to develop in a low-key manner. Now that he has a rear base, he has let go. He knows that Wu Sangui's rebellion is imminent, and the early offensive is fierce. , The power is unstoppable, "Emperor Kangxi" can't raise an army to encircle and suppress himself, even if there are not many.

After everyone shouted ten times in a row, everyone in the city looked at me and I looked at you, they were all horrified, and thought to themselves: "No wonder it is so powerful, it turns out that it is the general under the third prince Zhu."

Mr. Luo Qian was also shocked when he heard this remark, he glanced at his soldiers suspiciously, and shouted unconfidently: "This is a bandit, what kind of shit is the third prince Zhu, it's all nonsense, your family members are all in the city, colluded The end of the thief, hehe."

All the soldiers looked at Mr. Qian innocently, speechless and could only keep silent.

After a while, there were similar shouts from the north and south gates, and the people in the city murmured and said to themselves: "Could it be that this day is going to change again? Whoever comes is not always the same, so hurry up and take the valuables away." It's better to hide."

After a while, the food was delivered, and Jiang Tao ordered his subordinates to eat in batches. An hour later, Jiang Yan, who was covered in mud, ran back and said happily: "General, the digging has been completed."

"Can you follow my general's orders?" Jiang Tao loosened his body and finally finished digging.

"The subordinate waited to plan a circular hole in the foundation of the city wall. It took a lot of effort, so it should be safe." Jiang Yan nodded seriously.

"Okay, can you stuff this powder keg?" Jiang Tao continued to ask.

"Yes!" Jiang Yan said confidently.

"Jiang Yan listens!" Jiang Tao suppressed the joy in his heart and shouted.

"Subordinates are here!"

"I'll put this gunpowder barrel into the hole I dug later, connect the lead wire ten meters outside the hole, and move the square table back ten meters later. I don't know how powerful it will be after the explosion. After lighting the lead wire, you can directly hold it against the The square table is moved back, is there any relatives alive?"

Jiang Tao had already ordered someone to wrap the lead wires with oiled paper, the details determine success or failure, he dared not be careless, nor could he slack off.

"General!" Jiang Yan's eyes turned red, and he said with some emotion: "Since his adoptive father adopted him, Yan has decided to go through fire and water for his adoptive father. Now that he is under the general's command, he will die. The owner of the jade pendant."

Jiang Tao suddenly had an ominous premonition, took half of the jade pendant, nodded heavily and said: "You will be the first to break the city. Is the owner of the other half of the jade pendant male or female?"

"It's my subordinate's younger sister. She is just [-] years old now. The world is so big, where can I find it?" Jiang Yan said sadly, and immediately carried more than two hundred catties of gunpowder and walked towards the tunnel. Immediately protect him tightly.

At this time, if the Qing army on the city hit the gunpowder barrel with one shot, maybe Jiang Tao, the future big bandit, would ascend to heaven just like that. Unfortunately, there are too few coincidences in the world.

Jiang Tao really wanted to stop Jiang Yan and go with another person, but he was the leader of the team, so he couldn't change it overnight, and he couldn't let someone who didn't understand blasting die.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the four members of the blasting team withdrew one after another. Jiang Yan looked resolute and waved to Jiang Tao: "General, give the order."

To be on the safe side, Jiang Tao ordered everyone to retreat 300 meters before ordering: "Light on fire!"

And Mr. Luo Qian on the top of the tower was gnawing pig's paws, as long as he didn't attack the city, the bandits in the city would make any noise. He just got a report from his own soldiers, saying that the sound of digging has long since disappeared.

Mr. Luo Qian burped in satisfaction, wiped the greasy hands with his trousers, moaned eighteen touches in his mouth, and thought to himself: "It's delusional for the thieves to enter the city now, if you stay for a while, I will go Drink flower wine, hehe."

............................
An hour before Jiang Yan ignited the fire, Huang Shoubei's nephew Huang Shu was on his way carelessly. He saw the tragedy in Tongshan Village not long ago. The thieves and bandits are powerful now, and they can't force it, if there is any further damage, uncle will definitely be furious, now only by taking every step of the way, can we reach the county safely."

"Where is this place?" Huang Shu thought softly and asked.

The guard in black pointed Huang Biao in front of him and said loudly, "Three miles ahead is Tumen Village, and now it's only about thirty miles away from the county seat."

Huang Biao was already very dissatisfied, and he walked slowly all the way. This is not cavalry, even the infantry has reached the county seat, and he was relieved when he thought that the garrison had already led the army, and finally he didn't have to follow our President Huang Qian.

Huang Shu nodded when he heard the words, and shouted: "Brothers, let's go to the village ahead to rest for a while."

When they arrived at Tumen Village, they didn't find anyone. Huang Shu was very surprised. Huang Biao and others searched all over the village and found no one, let alone food or livestock. It was hard to swallow, so after taking a bite, he threw away the hard steamed bun, jumped on the steed and galloped away. The guards in black didn't dare to hesitate, and they caught up, all puzzled: "Mr. The horse galloped?"

"Could it be that something happened? Could it be that the bandits robbed the village and took away the people?" Huang Biao whipped his horse, feeling really puzzled.

"Mr. Huang Qian, the situation is not good." Huang Biao and Huang Shu said seriously.

"What's the matter?" Huang Shu said unkindly, but in his heart he was thinking of rushing to the county seat as soon as possible to avoid suffering in this wilderness, thinking about the impulsiveness of that night, he regretted it a little.

"Hey, there's someone over there with Mr. Huang Qian." Huang Biao was about to answer when he suddenly saw several villagers hiding in the woods.

When he got closer, he saw their panicked expressions, seeing all the guards in black were frightened, Huang Shu shouted sharply: "Who are you waiting for, why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

"Master Jun, it's no wonder that the little old man has bad eyesight, and women are not sensible, so the little old man kowtows to the military man to make amends." A white-haired old man leaned on a wooden stick and knelt tremblingly on the ground and said .

"Why are there only old and weak, where are the young and strong?" Huang Shu snorted, and said in a strange way, the past two days have not been smooth, and there has been nowhere to vent his anger.

"Master, something is wrong. More than a thousand bandits are attacking the city, and the only son of the little old man is going to defend the city." The old man said sadly, bloodshot tears flowed from his cloudy eyes, and he looked back at his daughter-in-law and grandson. One glance, I am afraid that my son will die, how should I live like this!

"What?" Huang Shu stood on the spot blankly, thinking that there were more than a thousand bandits waiting for him in the county town, he was so horrified that he almost turned his horse and ran away.

"The old man got up to talk, but I don't know why you are here? Have you ever seen the thieves with your own eyes?" Huang Biao asked suspiciously. How could the old, the young, and the woman know the number of the thieves so clearly?

"Mr. Jun, the little old man saw it with his own eyes. The bandit leader was a big man with a black face. He even talked to the old man. The little old man was obedient, but the black guy shook his head and left. He didn't rob money or things. Went to the county seat." The old man sighed and said with a puzzled face.

"This?" Huang Biao stared at the old man in disbelief, so he didn't seem to be lying, black man?Could it be the bandit leader of Heihuzhai we are chasing after?How could there be as many as a thousand people?
"Mr. Huang Qian, it's such a good opportunity. Let's sneak up on the back of the bandits. If we win, the garrison will be happy. If we lose, we can escape safely." Huang Biao thought for a while, and said firmly.

"Presumptuous, brave man, there are as many as a thousand thieves, don't we die?" Huang Shu said dismissively, obviously not agreeing with Huang Biao's opinion.

"We are all cavalry, and the gangsters must be exhausted. Besides, the county defenders are restraining us, forming a two-sided attack. This is a golden opportunity, Mr. Qian!" Huang Biao said angrily.

"No, let's go back to the army immediately and report to Uncle, let's go." Huang Shu turned his horse's head and said in a panic.

"Mr. Qian!" Huang Biao yelled loudly, seeing that Huang Shu ignored him at all, he said impulsively: "All the black-clothed personal guards obey orders, and those who wish to kill bandits follow!"

Huang Biao didn't care how many people followed, he ran towards the county seat at full speed, only to hear Huang Shu say harshly: "The traitor Huang Biao, how dare you disobey my order and kill a thousand knives, if it wasn't for your uncle who saved you back then! One life, how can you have today..."

Huang Shu wanted to yell and scold, but found that Huang Biao and others had long since disappeared, there was no one around him, even the old man's family had left, and he said bitterly in his heart: "I will go back to see my uncle right now, and tell Huang Biao that kid has joined the bandits."

Huang Biao's heart was pierced when he heard it, and he felt much better when he saw all the brothers had followed him. He thought to himself: "When the leader of the thief is killed, I think the garrison will not blame me, but I finally let out a bad breath. "

"Brothers, how does the garrison treat everyone?" Huang Biao shouted while galloping his horse.

"There is nothing to say, I am willing to die for the garrison!" Everyone responded loudly.

One of them frowned and said loudly: "Brother Huang, that kid Huang Shu will definitely make irresponsible remarks, what shall we say then?"

"The only thing we can do is to kill that black guy, then we can say anything, let's hurry up!" Huang Biao was furious in his heart, waved his horsewhip again, and said to himself: "Huang Shu, a cowardly villain, is really not enough to succeed. We have more to do, let's wait and see."
