Chapter 98 Revenge of the Iron Head
For another two consecutive days, Xing Tianjun was always on the march. With the movement of their legs, Longzhou City was left farther and farther behind, and gradually marched into the territory of Qingyang Prefecture.
On the sixth night of the ninth month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the whole army of Xing Tianjun entered 20 miles south of Qingyang Prefecture. Hearing this, the Qingyang magistrate immediately closed the gate, strictly ordered the garrison to defend Qingyang Mansion, and immediately recruited young men to the city to defend it. I was afraid that this chaotic army that suddenly appeared in Qingyang would attack Qingyang Mansion, and there was a sudden rumor in Qingyang City. Cranes, everyone can't help but be in danger.
However, what the Qingyang magistrate did not expect was that the chaotic army did not disturb the city of Qingyang Mansion, but passed around the east of the city on the second day and went straight to the north of the city. It almost quietly crossed the Qingyang Mansion under their eyes, and the Qingyang Magistrate did not figure out the identity of this chaotic army in the end, let alone Those who dared to send troops out of the city to chase this chaotic army were so scared to watch this strange chaotic army walk outside Qingyangfu City.
In the afternoon, Xing Tianjun stopped outside a village 15 miles north of Qingyang Prefecture, and several riders reported to Xiao Tianjian: "General Qi! The former convenience is Zhaojiazhuang! Please make a final order!"
Xiao Tianjian looked sideways at the iron head that followed him and said, "Iron head! It's your turn to fight in person today!"
Nearly 2,000 Xingtian Army soldiers and new recruits, even if they surrounded Zhaojiazhuang, and the iron head was dressed in heavy armor to take the lead in person, and two sentry soldiers accompanied him, making a posture to launch a fierce attack on Zhaojiazhuang.
Zhaojiazhuang is also a big village outside Qingyangfu City. Although it is not as large as Lijiazhuang, which was fought by the Xing Tianjun at the beginning, it also has high walls and various complete security facilities. The village also has nearly 300 people, which can be counted as the famous local Dazhuang.
What Zhao Bencai, the owner of Zhaojiazhuang, did not expect was that outside Zhaojiazhuang, which was originally calm, suddenly a disaster fell from the sky. Such a strong army came and surrounded his farm firmly.
When he heard the news, he climbed onto the wall and looked out. He almost fainted on the spot. It was not that he had never seen the chaotic army, and the poles often wandered around Zhaojiazhuang. However, it was the first time he saw the chaotic army like the army in front of him. Just a glance, it made him almost pee in his pants. Immediately He sent people to go out of the village and go outside the village to beg for mercy. He immediately expressed his willingness to offer 500 taels of silver, 20 heads of pigs and sheep, and 200 stones of grain, and only asked for the chaotic army outside the village to be satisfied and retreated.
Unfortunately, his weakness and seeking completeness did not receive any effect. A short and strong man in iron armor slowly walked outside the Zhuangmen, stood on his heels outside the Zhuangmen, and then slowly raised his head, revealing a dark face under the iron helmet. His eyes sprayed with anger and looked directly at Zhao Ben on the Zhuang wall. Wealth.
"Wo! Zhao Bencai! Do you still know who I am?" The iron head pointed the single knife in his hand to the Zhuang wall and shouted angrily at Zhao Bencai standing on the Zhuang wall.
Zhao Bencai was about 40 or 50 years old. He was born white, fat and very rich, but he was not dizzy. When he heard the loud shout of the iron head, he hurriedly looked out of the village. As a result, he looked at it for a long time before he suddenly took a breath.
"You... you... aren't you... an iron head? Aren't you... Didn't you die a long time ago?" Zhao Bencai suddenly exclaimed.
There was a rare ferocious smile on Tietou's face, and he answered Zhao Bencai loudly, "Yes, it's me!" It's a pity that I had a big life, but I didn't die outside! I came to collect debts from you today! Zhao Bencai, if you are smart, open the door quickly and catch it. I'll just kill you. If you don't open the door, then my iron head will lead the army into the village today, and I will definitely slaughter you all over the door!"
Zhao Bencai's legs suddenly softened and almost fell to the ground again. Fortunately, someone grabbed his arm, so he stood firm again and suddenly shouted, "Stand them! As long as you block them, I, Zhao Bencai, would rather disperse all my wealth to reward you! Please be sure to block them!"
At this time, many people on the wall recognized the iron head and showed a look of surprise. They didn't expect that the iron head was forced to leave Zhaojiazhuang by Zhao Bencai more than a year ago. Instead of starving to death outside, they became a general in the chaotic army, so everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
And many Zhuangding here are the tenants of Zhaojiazhuang. They all know about the Tietou family. Two years ago, there was a great drought in Shaanxi. The Tietou family, as a tenant of the Zhao Bencai family, planted thin fields that lacked water to irrigate, so that there was no harvest. However, Zhao Bencai did not reduce half of the rent because of this, but put Tietou After the girl grabbed the debt and ruined the iron-headed sister, she forced the iron-headed sister to hang herself that night, and also forced the iron-headed family to die. She had to abandon the rented land and fled outside. Later, she heard the news that the iron-headed parents were starved to death not long after they went out, and the iron-headed was nowhere to be found. I thought that the iron-headed had already I don't know where I died. I didn't think that today, Tietou took so many thieves and killed Zhao Jiazhuang to seek revenge.
This made all the Zhuangding in Zhuangzi jump up in shock. It was the first time for them to see such a large formation, especially when they saw that the thieves outside the village even pushed the cannons to the front, pointing straight to the Zhuangmen, which scared many people's legs to soften on the spot.
Although Zhao Bencai's hysterical shouting is to let them withstand the army of thieves outside the village on the condition that the family's wealth is exhausted, if you have money to pick up the code, you also have to spend your life! Therefore, many people did not make a sound after hearing Zhao Bencai's cry. Only some Zhuang Ding, who Zhao Bencai recently recruited from the outside, were a little ready to move and wanted to get a heavy reward.
"Stop talking nonsense to him again! Iron head! Attack the village directly!" Xiao Tianjian immediately shouted at the iron head in the middle of the army.
And the two sentry soldiers sent by Xiao Tianjian are also ready to attack Zhuang. For Tietou, Xing Tianjun does not know his relationship with Xiao Tianjian. Tietou is the most trusted general of Xiao Tiantian's fitness, and Tietou has always been loyal to Xiao Tianjian, and there is one of them in Xing Tianjun. He has a good reputation and has never done anything to bully others. Although he usually speaks little, he is very respected by the people in the army.
Today, I heard that Zhuangzi, who passed through Tietou's enemy, wanted to avenge his family. Of course, such cheap favors would be given to Tietou, so they only waited for the order of Tietou to attack the village.
Looking at the chaotic army led by Tietou, who was about to attack Zhuang, pushed like a wall. Tietou raised his hand to stop the team attacking Zhuang, and once again shouted to the people on the wall of Zhuang, "The villagers in Zhuangzi have listened, my iron head. This time, I only came to look for Zhao Bencai for revenge. I have nothing to do with you. I think you and I are neighbors. Tietou can't bear to hurt you. As long as you don't help Zhao Bencai resist me, then after Zhao Tietou enters the village, I will never offend you at all. How many people Zhao Bencai killed us, and everyone knows that it's worth it's worth it. You I understand it even more! The iron head has come to this point. The villagers think for themselves, but those who want to raise the knife to us, then blame us for being ruthless after entering the village, kill!"
The two sentries who followed the iron head would immediately shout together: "Kill..."
The villagers on the wall were shocked, and more frightened flashed in their eyes.
There is nothing remarkable about this battle. Tietou just led the crowd to rush. The resistance encountered can be said to be better than nothing. In just a quarter of an hour, the gate of Zhaojiazhuang announced that it was broken. A large number of soldiers outside the village poured into the village like a tide. Zhao Bencai was cut by knives before he could run back to his mansion. He died in Zhuang, and none of Zhao Bencai's family was spared. They all died under the knives of the Xingtian army who rushed into Zhuangzi.
When Xing Tianjun completely controlled Zhaojiazhuang, Tietou knelt in front of Xiao Tianjian with tears on his face and kowtowed several times in a row. At this point, Tietou's wish was completely realized, and he avenged his family with a deep blood, and Xing Tianjun also obtained a considerable amount of money and grain from Zhao Bencai's family, supplementing them now. There has been a shortage of nutrients.
"Get up, iron head. You get what you want, and I'm happy for you. We still have a long way to go, and you have to cheer up!" Xiao Tianjian pulled up the iron head from the ground, patted him on the shoulder and said to him.
Xing Tianjun fulfilled his promise. After entering the village, he did not kill all Zhuangding who put down his weapons in advance and did not resist. For those poor families in the village, he did not commit any crime, but for a small number of people who insisted on resisting, they were not so soft. Although these people were forced to surrender later, they were still He was dragged out and cut off his head, and his family assets were confiscated.
Only this time, Xing Tianjun received food supplies for a few more days, which solved the problems they needed. At least they didn't have to worry about the problem of food being cut off.
And some Tietou friends in Zhaojiazhuang saw that the Tietou in the same village was so majestic. In their impression, Tietou used to be just an old man, but now he is actually majestic and can become a leader, so they are quite envious. When Xing Tianjun left here the next day, Zhaojiazhuang actually had More than 20 young men simply chose to devote themselves to Xiao Tianjian's work. They left here with Xing Tianjun and embarked on a journey full of unknowns.
(At the end of the second volume, I am not satisfied with the overall writing of this volume, which made many brothers scold me, and I also feel a little procrastinate, so I put it down here and began to move to the next stage. Generally speaking, the foundation-building stage of pig's feet has been basically completed. I hope the third volume can be brought to the brothers. Better enjoyment! I hope the brothers will continue to support!)
