The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 4

Jiang Tao secretly had a headache. He didn't expect the government to attach so much importance to the cheap old man, and he said firmly: "Okay, if you tell me, I will let you go down the mountain."

"Brother, how could you let this thief go!" Jiang Shi said bitterly.

Although Jiang Dazhuang didn't want to kill Jiang Yinglong with his own hands, he also didn't want him to be alive, so he persuaded him: "Such an unfaithful and unfilial person must not be let go!"

Jiang Tao laughed loudly, and said seriously: "I, Heihu, will do what I say, so say it!"

But he was sneering in his heart: "Are you an idiot if you trust such a person?"

Jiang Yinglong looked at Jiang Tao suspiciously, and was stunned for a while, knowing that he had no choice: "Father and others are now locked in the prison in Guangzhou. I heard that Zhizhou attaches great importance to it. He will be beheaded in five days. Heihu is a hero. Brother has always Admiration, but you can’t be dishonest.”

Jiang Yinglong didn't know that this black tiger was no longer the black tiger it used to be.

Jiang Tao chuckled: "Jiang Hu and Jiang Bao locked him up and let him go down the mountain tomorrow. No one is allowed to visit him."

"Yes, brother." The two righteous brothers behind Jiang Tao shouted in unison.

"Brother!" Jiang Shi said in disbelief with red eyes.

"Jiang Shi stays, and the rest go to the pass immediately." Jiang Tao waved his hand.

After everyone retreated, Jiang Tao whispered a few words in Jiang Shi's ear, and Jiang Shi laughed all of a sudden: "Brother, brother, save it."

Jiang Tao nodded, sat on the ground, and pondered: "In my previous life, I studied liberal arts and liked military affairs and history the most. What should I do in the future? Kneeling to others and submitting to the feet of foreign races is not my wish; I live in seclusion and die forever. Life is not my original intention. Although I am very low-key, I have a restless heart; since I can’t change, I can only face it. Isn’t Gwangju the modern Huangchuan? The 12th year of Kangxi, isn’t it 1673 , Emperor Kangxi is said to be very good, isn't being a bandit just to demolish him? However, although the Qing Dynasty had the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong, it did not treat Han people as human beings, let alone human rights, not to mention all kinds of humiliation in the late Qing Dynasty. I, Jiang Tao, disagree."

"What is the connection between the Qing army, the policeman, and Han Fei? Forget it, let's talk about the immediate crisis first."

.....................

When Chengzhang, the third master, led the people to the pass, the Qing army really came, and they had already reached the mountainside, there were more than two hundred people, no one reported, no one stopped, it was obviously Han Fei's ghost.

Facing the iron arrow on the string, more than a dozen people guarding the uppermost pass felt guilty as thieves, and all of them dropped their weapons wisely, and they were obviously bought by the fourth master Han Fei.

Cheng Zhang heaved a sigh of relief. As long as the pass is still there, even if five hundred Qing troops come, it will be very difficult to occupy the cottage. He squinted his triangular eyes and gave orders: "We will listen to the old man's orders later. We can't do anything about it, Jiang Peng, immediately summon all the young and strong, Jiang Chu goes to the warehouse to release Hu Yidao and other old brothers, and Jiang Jun goes to arrange meals."

These three are also Jiang Tao's adopted brothers, and they rushed to the cottage after hearing the words.

Jiang Tao also came to the pass at this time. Most of the wounds on his body were minor injuries, only the gunshot on his thigh was more serious, but fortunately he did not hurt any muscles or bones.

Due to the excessive blood loss, he felt dizzy, but he didn't dare to take it lightly, and was caught by the Qing army. The ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty were not a joke.

The pass is only 300 meters away from the Hall of Loyalty and Justice. The entire pass is made of stone blocks, about [-] meters long and as tall as a person. The rest of the pass is very steep.

Suddenly the green battalion soldiers at the bottom of the mountain stopped, just an arrow away, and one of them let go of his voice and shouted: "The fourth master, don't come out to meet Mr. Luo Qian."

Cheng Zhang hurriedly stood up, cursing secretly in his heart, but on the surface he said respectfully: "Masters, the fourth head of the family has been seriously injured, and I specially ordered the younger ones to come and welcome you adults."

"Fucking bandits still dare to play tricks on the elders, don't you have a long life?" The little officer of the Green Battalion snarled sharply.

He bowed his head again and said to the burly armored man on the left: "Mr. Qian, these bandits don't know how to flatter you. Let's go up the mountain, hehe."

Mr. Luo Qian was wearing heavy armor, with a stern face, and snorted. He had a sure chance of doing meritorious deeds, but now the atmosphere always felt a little ominous. There was only one person on the pass, and he appeared suddenly, and he hadn't given a password yet. , so that it is impossible to advance or retreat now, exterminating Heihuzhai is a great achievement, but if it loses troops and loses generals, it will be the end of its boss, but if it is directly withdrawing troops, obviously it will not work.

Mr. Luo Qian thought for a while before shouting in a deep voice: "Mr. Chen, immediately take fifty brothers up the mountain to prevent the situation from changing."

Boss Chen couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, he hurriedly laughed and said, "My lord, even if the subordinates are dead, they will also take down Heihuzhai."

Then he said to the surrounding green camp soldiers: "Brothers, it's time to make a fortune and make meritorious deeds. Go up the mountain."

Mr. Luo Qian cursed inwardly, he knew what Mr. Chen was thinking, but all the property in this cottage belonged to Mr. Mr. Qian, and anyone who moved it would be punished, hehe.

"Good guy, there are only four or fifty people, this boss is quite careful." Jiang Tao whispered.

"Young master, what should we do now?" Cheng Zhang asked softly.

"I'm not strong enough. It would be great if I can beat back these Qing troops. I will listen to my orders later." Jiang Tao said without thinking, and everyone nodded.

After 100 meters, 80 meters, and 60 meters, Jiang Tao's heart began to jump again, and he looked to the left and right, only to find that the brothers around him were all calm and terrifying, like a hunter who saw his prey, and felt ashamed in his heart. I am already a person who is about to run three times, and I am not even as good as these young people around me.

When the Qing army was only 40 meters away from the pass, Jiang Tao shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

Immediately, the arrows rained down, and occasionally there were a few bangs, obviously a masterpiece of shotguns, but the choking smell of gunpowder was unbearable, and some people threw stones. Jiang Tao looked intently, and saw that the Qing army below had fallen There were more than thirty people, and very few arrows missed. In fact, the most frightening thing was the stones falling from the sky.

"No, there is an ambush, run away!"

"Fucking bastard, it's been tricked."

Looking at the chaotic Qing army below, Jiang Tao was speechless. He knew that the opportunity must be lost, and that he should chase after the poor bandits. If the Qing army blocked the mountain, it would be troublesome. One said: "Brothers, kill!"

He was about to step forward with a knife, but was stopped by Chengzhang, "If you are a master, you can't use a bull's knife to kill a chicken. You have to trust these children, they are the sharp weapons for killing."

Jiang Tao was aware of his injuries, so he didn't force himself anymore. He saw that all the young men were like fierce tigers on the mountain, and they were able to bend their bows and shoot arrows while rushing. Few of the large groups gathered, and the rest of the Qing army was terrified. Luo Qianzong didn't dare to fight, and took the lead to flee. He felt that the heavy helmet was a mistake, and hurriedly discarded the armor, but he shouted: "Brothers, some bandits. kill."

Seeing that the main general has escaped, the rest of the Qing army is not stupid, but only regrets that they lost two legs.

Jiang Tao praised in his heart: "It is true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, so there is no need to worry about being surrounded and suppressed by such elites."

He and Cheng Zhang followed slowly, praising it as enjoyable, it was much more real than the movie, never thought that he would be the leader of one of them.

"Young master, these Qing troops are just the defenders of the county town. They are first-class in harming the villagers, and their combat effectiveness is not flattering." Seeing Jiang Tao's joy was beyond words, Cheng Zhang couldn't help attacking, but he was puzzled in his heart, and killed several Qing troops. , what is there to be happy about being a young master?
No wonder, Jiang Tao nodded, and became more cautious. The officials and bandits may be a family and a deadly enemy. The most powerful fighting force in this era is the Eight Banners of Manchuria. I don’t know how strong they are?
"No, the officers and soldiers are about to run away." Cheng Zhang shook his feather fan and frowned.
