Chapter 2008

In Changshan County Yamen, all the belongings were packed.

Here are Ma Liang's confidants. They are sure that they will prosper.

Many years ago, the phrase "it is better for princes and generals to have seed" began.

One day, can I be like them?

When you dream back in the middle of the night and are very idle, these thoughts will flash across the sky like a meteor.

But when there is such an opportunity, very few people dare to put this idea into practice.

Ma Liang was one of the few, so his men looked at him with hope, waiting for him to command the next action, and then enjoy glory and wealth.

Ma Liang said proudly, "go and ask for more food. We must be ready to retreat. Otherwise, once the officers and soldiers arrive, we will have less food. Who will follow me then?"

"When you find the grain, take it away and take it to the mountains."

In the past, he was just a green skin leader with more than ten people under his command. He couldn't extricate himself from the fun of commanding others.

Now his men have expanded to hundreds. If he wants, he can transfer the strong men in the city to join at any time. At that time

That's the army!

The wild fire burned in Ma Liang's eyes. He said, "keep an eye on those people. Report anything wrong right away. I'll kill all their family."

Ma Liang felt that there was an inexplicable desire expanding in his heart. It was not a matter of men and women, but a feeling that he could not tell the truth.

He didn't know that this was the ambition brought by the desire for control, but he couldn't get rid of it, so he took people out of the county government.

The street was deserted. Only a few of his subordinates were patrolling. Seeing how they looked around, Ma Liang couldn't help shaking his head and said, "it's so like a thief. Look back..."

He stopped talking, turned his face and listened carefully.

So did some of his men.

Gradually, their faces changed.

The autumn wind brought cold, but also sent panic cries.

"... the officers and soldiers are coming..."

Ma Liang slowly measured his body, his cheeks trembling.

Panic is spreading!

It must be stopped!

Remembering what happened after being caught, Ma Liang held back his fear and said, "this is a matter of beheading. Don't think there can be a way out for surrender."

Seeing that his men all looked desperate, Ma Liang's courage was gradually overflowing. He pulled out his long knife, pointed to the place where the cry came, and shouted, "kill and retreat the officers and soldiers and enter Jinan!"

He learned how to boost morale without a teacher.

Of course, bravery is necessary.

So he took the lead and rushed to the wall.

When he got to the top of the city, he forgot to breathe before he calmed down.

"Who is it?"

A mile away, seven or eight hundred Ming troops dismounted and quickly formed an array.

The visor was pulled down, and suddenly a dull breath filled the air.

A thief from a village family lay on the wall and looked carefully. His body gradually trembled. Then he suddenly stood up straight, pointed to the gradually formed array and shouted: "it's Xinghe bo..."

Fear was spreading. A thief suddenly abandoned the wooden gun and turned and ran away.

The shrill cry echoed on the edge of the wall, making people palpitating.

"It's a demon God! He will pile our corpses into a Beijing Temple..."

Ma Liang took a deep breath and said angrily, "kill!"

An arrow flew away, and the escaped thief fell to the side, and soon moved slowly to the side. A confidant of Ma Liang walked over and cut him in the neck, but only half.

The scream was disturbing. Ma Liang was going to go there in person. As a result, the thief was surrounded by someone who shouted, "the officers and soldiers are coming!"

He turned back slowly, looked at the slowly approaching array and said, "let's go from the other side and take the treasure money."

If ordinary officers and soldiers come, Ma Liang is ready for a big war. But Jubao mountain guard made him feel no war and just wanted to run away.

"Hold on! We are guarding the city. They have few people and can't fight down!"

Ma Liang walked around the city to cheer up the mob under his command.

Jinan government hasn't seen swordsmen for many years. These mobs see that there are few officers and soldiers and there is no ladder. Can they still fly to the city?

So morale soared!

"There's a big reward when you look back! There's enough wine..."

Ma Liang shouted and walked to the steps, winked at several confidants, then went down the city one by one, got on the horse and ran in the opposite direction.

Mardan! The Ming army should have come from the direction of Jinan City, but now it came from the back. Needless to say, it was a premeditated raid.

Ma Liang knew very well that the Ming army did not need to attack. As long as they surrounded the gate, the people in the city would naturally look good to them. At that time, everyone will become a turtle in a jar.

At the foot of the city, Fang woke up and looked at the noisy thieves at the head of the city and said, "press down with a fire gun and blow up the gate with a medicine bag."

There are only a dozen bows at most on the city head, and it is difficult to find a suitable Archer among the thieves, so Fang Xing thinks it will be a boring battle.

When the array pressed over, Fang woke up and saw the bricks and logs, he said, "let the shooting be good and clear the threat."

As the array approaches the city wall, some bricks fly down from it. As for rolling logs, they are useless at this time.

The sniper began to aim under the shield.

"Priority is given to the removal of logs!"

Seeing that the officers and soldiers were not moving, the thieves on the head of the city immediately increased their confidence, and taunting curses continued to come.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Two thieves standing at the head of the city and holding a piece of wood were shot at the same time. As soon as their hands were loose, they screamed and fell back.

And the wood that lost its protection fell down along the, with a bang, which was very powerful.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In the continuous gunfire, more than ten people fell on the head of the city, and the other thieves looked at each other. Just when the sniper lowered his head and began loading, there was a loud cry. When they looked up again, they could only stare at the empty city.

But before the new military order was issued, a team of sergeants still put the powder bag outside the city gate.

Ignite, retreat.

"Boom!"

Before the smoke of gunpowder dispersed, Wu Yue's long knife had pointed to the blasted city gate.

……

The explosion startled the gentry in the city. When the voice of the escaped thieves came, everyone looked at each other.

"Defeat! Unexpected defeat!"

A man got up, bent over and said hard, "our people... Let's go."

"Good!"

"Hurry up, or you'll lose your credit."

A group of people hurried and ran out together.

It's right to meet Mr. Wang at this time!

Under the protection of the servants, the gentry went out of the door and saw a capture game.

All the gentry were dumbfounded when they saw those sergeants in half armour.

"What's the matter? Why did the people from Jubao mountain guard come here?"

"Kneel down and don't kill!"

A sergeant chased two thieves and finally forced them to kneel on the ground and be escorted obediently to the concentration area.

The gentry were in panic. They gathered outside the gate trembling and waiting.

"Kill the rebel!"

After a loud cry, countless people rushed out of their homes.

Hoe, stick, kitchen knife

Groups of people spontaneously surrounded the thieves in the street. After blocking, there was a violent fight.

This scene was staged everywhere in Changshan city. The sergeants of Jubao mountain guard were able to calmly accept the prisoners one by one, and then persuade the people to go home and start martial law.

A group of sergeants came to protect several people. The gentry did not need to identify them. They all bowed down and shouted, "I've seen your excellency."
