The second brother Han, Han Bing, is not only the leader of the Tsing Yi Gang, but also the arrester of the Lingzhou Prefecture. It is with this identity that the Tsing Yi Gang can survive many unjust acts in the city, and the second brother Han also gains from it. A lot of benefits.
Tonight, Han Bing actually thought that something might happen, so he stayed in the Yamen all night. Originally, when there were screams in the inn and someone was killed on the street, the news had already reached the Yamen, but he deliberately suppressed it until the incident became more and more serious, and even sparked several irritations. I was shocked to realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly brought people to check, but it was obviously too late.
On the streets, unarmed innocent people were crying and running for their lives like lambs to be slaughtered. Behind them were a group of men with bloodstains on their heads and bodies, with ferocious faces and weapons in their hands. Often, only one person was killed by them. When he catches up later, he stabs him in the head and chops him over before talking about anything else. At the same time, these guys would break into people's homes from time to time, setting fire to and killing people wantonly, turning the whole west city upside down, with ghosts crying and wolves howling.
Seeing this scene, everyone in Han Bing couldn't believe their eyes. After a moment, he suddenly saw clearly that those guys who were killing wantonly were the foreigners who he had introduced to the Tsing Yi Gang brothers as fat sheep. This made him suddenly realize that his brothers might have been kicked on the iron plate this time, and most likely they would have perished in the hands of these guys.
For a moment, Han Bing's heart was filled with shock and anger, and he shouted loudly: "You bold maniac, how dare you kill innocent people indiscriminately in our Lingzhou, why don't you just catch him without mercy!" He led twenty or thirty other houses who also came to their senses. The Yamen servants killed and intercepted him.
Seeing a group of official officers suddenly coming to kill them, the Jurchens were not afraid at all. Instead, they became more and more excited. They started to fight back with howls and screams, no longer caring about the ordinary people around them who were still crying and running for their lives. In a sense, the government officials and police officers had fulfilled their duties this time and at least saved many people. However, they soon realized how ridiculous it was for them to step forward.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Jurchens, who seemed to have less than half the number of people on the other side, quickly gained an overwhelming advantage. Han Bing had just raised the knife in his hand above his head when a sharp knife slashed into his chest. Before he could react and scream, a big foot followed him and kicked him in the abdomen. The body was kicked out forcefully, and the person was in mid-air, with a large amount of blood spurting out. He only screamed half-heartedly, and then fell to the ground without any sound.
After watching Han Captou being hit in the face by someone and not knowing whether he was alive or dead, the courage in the hearts of the police officers immediately completely dissipated, and their steps to rush forward immediately stopped. But before they could decide whether to flee or defend, the Jurchens had already attacked in front of them without hesitation. Where the sword flashed, screams and blood scattered in the air. In a moment, more than ten people had fallen. In a pool of blood. The people at the back were completely frightened this time, and could not care about anything else. They all turned around and scattered with screams, no longer daring to confront these Jurchens head-on.
How could these bloodthirsty beasts let go of the prey in front of them, and they immediately started chasing after them with strange screams. People in these yamen usually fail when chasing thieves, so how could they be the elite opponents of the Jurchens who can hunt down their prey on foot in the mountains and forests with complex terrain? They only escaped less than half an arrow, and were already captured. People catch up from behind and kill them
field.
In just a short time, twenty or thirty government officials were all killed by the Jurchens' swords, just like chopping melons and vegetables. Seeing this scene, the people in the city became more and more panicked and fled in all directions. The Jurchens were chasing after them, so they quickly brought the killing and chaos from the West City to other places. Perhaps after a while, the entire Lingzhou City would fall into chaos.
Shi Qian, who was injured and retreated with the remaining brothers, was stunned after seeing this scene. He could not accept the fact for a long time: "They are only a dozen people, but they can actually kill an entire state." If there is chaos in the city, no one can stop them?" It was not until this moment that he truly understood why Sun Dujian regarded the Jurchens as the biggest threat.
In the past, during military training and lectures, Sun Tu would always mention that the Qingzhou Army should become stronger, so that it could avoid a major defeat in the confrontation with the Jurchens.
At that time, although many generals, including Shi Qian, did not say anything, they still felt disapproval in their hearts. They believed that no matter how fierce and capable the Jurchens were, they would not be as powerful as Sun Dujian feared. It's not like they have never fought against Jurchens. In Boden County a few years ago, didn't the newly established Qingzhou Army annihilate hundreds of Jurchens
It was not until today, after fighting against these dozen Jurchens, that Shi Qian finally realized how terrifying the other party was. Although these people are far from the opponents of Lu Da, Wu Song and others in terms of martial arts, but in terms of ferocity and madness in fighting, their own soldiers are far behind.
But in the final analysis, they only had about ten people, and this was the state capital of the Song Dynasty. There were not only common people here, but also officers and soldiers stationed in the city!
As if to confirm Shi Qian's thoughts, a blast of horns suddenly sounded from the Beicheng area, and then a burst of fire quickly rushed towards the west of the city where killings and cries continued. The garrison there was finally overwhelmed by this Alarmed by the turmoil, they came to quell the chaos.
But at this moment, the Jurchens, who had been heading towards the middle of the city, stepping on the corpses and blood of innocent people, suddenly stopped, then turned quickly and rushed towards the southwest corner at full speed. Shi Qian and others who had been following them woke up in the blink of an eye after seeing their move: "No, they are still trying to get the official position!"
The government granary is in the southwest, and a large amount of military rations have just been included in it. Once they break into the warehouse and set it on fire, the soldiers and people of Lingzhou will have a hard time this winter. Shi Qian quickly weighed and judged in his mind, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Follow them and find an opportunity to hold them back!" Unfortunately, in order to hide their identities and come here smoothly, they did not bring their usual weapons with them. Lian Nu, otherwise with this sharp weapon in hand, they would really be able to kill a dozen or so Jurchens.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Scout Battalion showed the effect of their hard training. Although the Jurchens ran very fast, they still could not get far away from them. If the common people had not disappeared along the way, the scouts would have been able to catch up as long as the Jurchens continued to kill for a while.
Just after the third watch, both parties rushed to the official warehouse. At this time, the commotion had also alerted the guards in the warehouse. They all stood guard in front of the door with weapons, and the door was tightly closed to prevent the enemy from any attack.
You can take advantage of this opportunity.
However, this official warehouse never thought that it would be directly attacked by the enemy. Originally, the warehouse was located within the city, so what blind thief would take advantage of it? Therefore, the wall here is only as high as one person, and it cannot protect the Jurchens at all.
When these guys rushed to the official warehouse, their speed not only did not slow down, but became faster. When they rushed to the wall quickly, people were already rising higher and higher. With almost no effort, everyone had crossed the wall lightly. Waving his weapon, he killed dozens of unprepared soldiers who were guarding the warehouse below.
These officers and soldiers guarding the warehouse were neglected in training on weekdays and had almost no experience in fighting the enemy. When they saw a row of black figures coming towards them with murderous intent like Shura Yaksha, the pungent smell of blood hit them. By this time, most of the people were already panicking, and their hand movements had become extremely slow. When the enemies rushed to them, they could not even lift the weapons in their hands.
As a result, screams quickly filled the warehouse. Only three or five soldiers resisted symbolically, and then they were killed on the spot.
And just as these soldiers fell, Shi Qian and the others finally arrived in front of the warehouse. After hearing the series of screams, Shi Qian's heart sank even more. The defenders inside were completely powerless to fight back. . He made a prompt decision and shouted loudly: "Follow me!" He jumped up and climbed up the outer wall of the warehouse like an ape, trying to kill the Jurchens inside to prevent the Jurchens inside from setting fire to the food.
But just as he climbed onto the wall and before he could unfold his figure, a sharp arrow came towards him with a roar. This was really beyond Shi Qian's expectation. When he heard the sound of breaking through the air, he had just made half of his movements. He had no time to change his moves. He could only tilt his head slightly to the side and avoid the fatal blow. The attack also caused the force under his feet to deflect, causing his body to lose balance. He fell from the wall, but he broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing Shi Qian being attacked and falling down, the subordinates who were following Yu Shang stopped in their tracks. Someone quickly rushed to help him up and said with concern: "Commander, are you okay?"
Shi Qian felt a pain in his cheek. Although he tried his best to avoid the arrow just now, it still scratched his face. He said, "It's okay, but they already have bows and arrows. We're afraid we won't be able to get in." Yes. For the Jurchens, having bows and arrows is even more powerful, and they will become even more terrifying!
As for the origin of bows and arrows, there is no need to think about it. The defenders here should be equipped with some, but they are too incompetent. When the enemy attacks, they are all killed before they can even use the bows and arrows. Now, these bows and arrows have all taken advantage of the Jurchens, and have become a weapon to prevent Shi Qian from entering!
Seeing such a situation, even Shi Qian had no choice. But after waiting for a while, he still didn't see any fire in the warehouse, which made him think: "It seems that they have not changed their previous plan. They do not want to burn down the granary, but intend to take away the food. Tonight There are indeed many surprises, but as soon as the officers and soldiers arrive, we can still catch the turtle in the urn... "
Just as I was thinking about it, a large group of troops had already arrived. When some of the soldiers in front saw Shi Qian's people staying outside the warehouse, they all felt like they were facing an enemy and shouted loudly: "Who are you? Put down your weapons quickly." , just tie your hands!" As he spoke, dozens of bows and arrows were aimed at them.
