Huang Yao led five hundred soldiers and circled for half a month, finally reaching the northwest of Bailuozhou.
There are no big mountains along the way, but small hills and flat land.
The reason why they went around this big circle was because they were afraid of being spotted by officers and soldiers. Similarly, officers and soldiers did not dare to cross the river to loot here, for fear that the rebels would find out and set up an ambush attack.
The vast countryside on the other side of Linjiang Fucheng was surprisingly peaceful.
Arriving at the riverside in the dark, all five hundred soldiers took off their clothes and swam to Jiangxinzhou on the opposite bank. The rattan player and the wolf-whip soldier are very easy, because the wooden shield and the wolf-whip have buoyancy, and the distance of 100 meters is easy.
After going ashore, walk to the other side of Jiangxinzhou. The river here is 200 meters long, which is still not difficult for a man who is familiar with water.
In this way, Huang Yao led five hundred soldiers and crossed the river without anyone noticing.
This is near the entire battlefield, where the Ganjiang River is the narrowest.
Wang Siren was already prepared and sent 300 officers and soldiers to guard him. But recently, looting became popular, and the officers took the soldiers directly to the villages to plunder, leaving only a dozen people standing guard by the river.
Can more than a dozen officers and soldiers guard a river seven or eight miles long?
A few miles away from the river, Huang Yao found a wheat field that had already been harvested, and sent an order: "Leave a few people on sentry, and the rest will sleep!"
After sleeping soundly in the wheat field for an hour, the sky was bright, and Huang Yao immediately led people into the village.
The food he brought was not enough, so he had to borrow food from the landlord's house.
"Bang bang bang!"
Knocking on the door, an old man came out, pleading: "Military masters, you have come here several times these days, the old man really has no food at home."
"Old man," said the military mission officer, clasping his fists, "We are the Datong Army, not the officers and soldiers who extort money. The Datong Army has to return the food they borrowed, and we can make a written statement. As for the officers and soldiers who bully you, when we are full, we will go back to you." Go get those bastards!"
"Againyou are rebels?" The old man trembled with fright.
The mission officer asked: "Is there any paper and pen? We don't borrow much food, so we will definitely return it in the future after leaving a written note."
Zhao Han has always refused to accept the loan from the landlord in the "enemy-occupied area", but at this time he can behave more benevolently.
The old man was afraid that the rebels would kill his whole family, so he had to open another granary to provide food.
The rebels really don't want much. One person only takes half a bucket, and insists on making a written receipt, throwing away the written receipt and taking the grain and leaving.
From the beginning to the end, the five hundred soldiers were well-organized and did not step into the landlord's house.
Watching these rebels leave, the old man lamented: "What kind of world is this? I can't go on!"
After walking for another half day, I was lighting a fire and cooking at noon, when the sentinel suddenly reported that officers and soldiers had appeared.
Huang Yao climbed up the small hill and saw that there were two or three hundred officers and soldiers, and everyone had something in their hands. Some soldiers even pushed small carts full of looted goods from the countryside.
The military discipline of the officers and soldiers has been out of control.
You can grab it, why can't I?
So the generals, big and small, took turns to go out to collect grain, and some unlucky landlords were repeatedly requisitioned several times.
These are soldiers recruited locally in Jiangxi, and they are relatively civilized. It would be even worse if they were replaced by guest soldiers from other provinces. Under such circumstances, the officers and soldiers not only robbed money and food, but also killed people and slaughtered villages, beheading good people and saying that they were beheading traitors.
Once the officers and soldiers are defeated this time, Li Maofang will definitely hint that the general will kill people, and chopping off some heads can offset the defeat.
When the officers and soldiers passed by under the hill, five hundred soldiers swarmed out, and two or three hundred officers and soldiers robbed food, they were so frightened that they fled in panic, completely confused about what was going on.
Huang Yao ran the fastest alone, stabbed several people to death in succession, and chased these officers and soldiers into the village.
The villagers who had just been looted closed their doors and windows one after another and observed the situation through the gaps. Seeing the officers and soldiers being chased and killed by Huang Yao, although they dared not speak out, they all applauded secretly for Huang Yao.
There were more than two hundred officers and soldiers, and Huang Yao led people to kill nearly half of them, so he stopped chasing.
Instead, go back to the ambush point just now, and send the grain looted by the officers and soldiers to the village for the farmers to pick it up.
Five hundred soldiers and five missionaries.
These missionary officers shouted along the village: "Old cousins, don't be afraid, we are Mr. Zhao's Datong soldiers. Datong soldiers don't harm the people, they serve the people.When he entered the city, he was killed by the rebels, and he chased all the way into the county and disappeared. "
Li Maofang, Li Ruolian and Wang Siren looked at each other in blank dismay.
Fengcheng County is behind them, and it is on the bank of the Gan River. If the rebels coerce the people in Fengcheng County, they will directly cut off their retreat.
Li Ruolian sneered, "You did a good job!"
Li Maofang was speechless, because he was indeed the one who issued the grain requisition order.
But who the hell would have thought that the magistrate of Fengcheng was so awesome that he sent Xiangyong to the countryside to collect grain, and hundreds of bandits took advantage of it to seize the county seat.
That was not to collect food at all, but the magistrate of Fengcheng wanted to make money and sent troops to rob in the name of suppressing thieves!
Wang Siren sighed and said: "There are only three ways now, one is to cross the river immediately for a decisive battle, the other is to immediately withdraw the troops back to Nanchang, and the third is to take back Fengcheng County and station the camp there."
"It's impossible to withdraw troops. If you don't suppress the bandits in front of you, you and I will all lose our hats." Li Ruolian shook his head and said.
Li Maofang asked: "Can't we send troops to take back the county seat and then keep people to garrison it?"
Wang Siren said: "There are hundreds of bandits hiding behind us. These rebels are used to demagoguery. If they are allowed to develop, there may be two or three thousand people in the next month. There are two or three thousand enemies hiding behind us. Do you dare to fight such a battle?"
Li Maofang thought about it: "We can't evacuate from Linjiang Mansion, we can't just evacuate to Fengcheng County. Linjiang Mansion is a tax-heavy town, once it is lost, the court will be furious, and it will be easy for us to lose our official position!"
"Then let's fight." Li Ruolian sighed.
Wang Siren sighed: "This Zhao thief is so cunning."
Wang Siren thought that Zhao Han might send troops to go around, but he never expected that the rebels did not come to attack the camp of officers and soldiers at night after they went around, but to help the peasants drive away the looting officers and soldiers!
There are only a few hundred rebels, and the officers and soldiers want to clear them up, but they can't even touch the ghosts.
Not to mention the farmers tipping off the news, even the local gentry secretly provided food for the rebels, just because the officers and soldiers robbed too much.
Wang Siren has an illusion that he is the traitor</div>
