[Chapter 375] Dad and mother are not as good as gold and silver marriage!

(0375)

"Let's go and have a look." Xu Xingxia said immediately.

They came to a gully in front and found dozens of people gathered here. Their clothes were covered with dust, their faces, hands, and feet were all covered with mud, and they could hardly see their original appearance. These people were drinking water desperately. Their faces were covered with fatigue, their lips were almost white, and their breathing was dying. Seeing Xu Xingxia coming, they seemed to have no strength to stand up, so they could only move their bodies to express their salute. Around them, there were dozens of soldiers from the Eagle Cavalry Army monitoring and providing them with enough water. These people were besieged in Ciyao Village for many days, and the most lacking was water.

Among the crowd, several wounded people were dragged on the floor made of clothes. Well, the floor was inaccurate, which was a simple stretcher made of clothes. When marching, they were dragged directly. If the conditions were slightly better, there were one or two wooden boards under the clothes. If the conditions were poor, there was nothing. It might not be handled in time and effectively. Most of the wounded people were in a semi-coma state, silent, as if they were dead.

This treatment method actually has a great secondary trauma to the injured. The dust floating on the ground can easily enter the wound directly. If you are not careful, the injured may die during the dragging process. If there are accidents such as tilt, slipping, falling, and falling, the situation of the injured will be even more unimaginable. However, the conditions are harsh, and this is impossible. Some injured people cannot bear it at all and must be dragged away.

Among them, the one who was firmly surrounded by everyone was a burly man. An arrow was shot on his back. Although the arrow was pulled out, the wound was not treated in time, and blood was seeping out from time to time. There was no way, there was a shortage of water, strong wind and sand, and the environment was so harsh, where could there be a chance to deal with the wound? This burly man was also in a semi-coma state, and repeatedly muttering the word "water...water..."

This injured burly man was Gao Yingxiang. He was shot by an arrow when he encountered the Ming army officers and soldiers. Fortunately, his vitality was tenacious, and after being shot, he could still command his subordinates to avoid the official army. However, if Xu Xingxia did not arrive in time, he would definitely not be able to escape this time. When he learned that Xu Xingxia had arrived, Gao Yingxiang drank a little water and barely woke up. However, he no longer had the strength to speak, and could only nod to express etiquette.

After checking his wound, the doctor of Xu Jiajun shook his head gently to Xu Xingxia, saying that it was impossible to deal with it here, so he could only go back to Heishan Camp. In fact, Gao Yingxiang's arrow wound was not the most fatal, the most fatal thing was the wound inflammation infection. At that time, in the era without penicillin, anti-inflammatory treatment of wounds was still a bit difficult. In fact, in such a harsh environment, it was impossible to effectively treat anti-inflammatory treatment.

"I am Xu Xingxia! I am ordered to capture you all to the Heishan Camp!" Xu Xingxia stood beside Gao Yingxiang, nodded, and said loudly.

"Everyone... listen... Xu Xingxia... words!" Gao Yingxiang said with difficulty. Of course, he was not a fool, and he quickly understood the meaning of Xu Xingxia's words. Of course, it was a bit troublesome for Xu Xingxia to take Gao Yingxiang away directly. Nominally, Gao Yingxiang is also a rebel. Unless Xu Xingxia is also a rebel, it is impossible to rescue him directly. However, if he "captured" him, there is no problem.

Xu Xingxia's current identity is still an official army. He is an official army, and Gao Yingxiang is a rebel. It is natural for the official army to capture the rebels! No one can say anything. Even if Lu Yide comes to ask, Xu Xingxia can respond with righteousness. As for where to capture Gao Yingxiang and others and what kind of treatment will be obtained after they arrive there, that is another matter. It is OK to ask, and as for whether Xu Xingxia has the intention to answer you, that is another matter.

However, some people's brains seemed to be simpler. He could not understand the trick at all. He heard the word "accusation" and seemed very sensitive. As soon as Xu Xingxia finished speaking, someone shouted: "Xu Xingxia, how can we believe you?"

Xu Xingxia's eyes moved and fell on the person who was talking. The person who spoke was a young man, about 20 years old, his eyes were a little indifferent, his expression was a little cold, and he was a little desperate. It is estimated that this guy was a relatively cruel character under Gao Yingxiang's hands. Xu Xingxia said calmly: "What's your name?"

The young man said proudly: "My name is Gao Jie!"

Xu Xingxia's eyes slowly became gloomy: "Are you Gao Jie?"

Gao Jie was a little strange and said casually: "Have you heard of my name?"

Xu Xingxia said coldly: "No! I know which onion you are! Now, I will give you two ways to go! One is to take back your words and apologize to me! The other is to take my move. If you can take my move, I won't talk nonsense to you!"

Gao Jie couldn't bear it at all, and he made great strides and was about to take action. His personality was indeed the kind of rebellious one. Under Gao Yingxiang's hands, he was indeed a fierce and brave character. Fighting alone, no one was his opponent. Most people could not control him at all. He punched Xu Xingxia, and shouted fiercely: "Okay! Come on!"

Xu Xingxia avoided Gao Jie's fist, raised his right hand, pressed it on Gao Jie's shoulder, and pressed it hard. This is a typical way to break ten times with one force, and use simple brute force to make the opponent surrender. To deal with a guy like Gao Jie, you must convince him to lose. Feeling the gap between him and his world, he can take his life at any time, so he dare not have other ideas. If he feels that he is just barely better than him, he may think about it.

Gao Jie hurriedly used all his strength to resist Xu Xingxia's heavy pressure. Xu Xingxia tried to make him surrender simply with his strength, and he also tried to make Xu Xingxia surrender simply with his strength. He also knew that Xu Xingxia's archery skills were good, and it was probably not possible to compete with Xu Xingxia. However, he had considerable confidence in the simple competition power.

"Bang!"

Xu Xingxia's hands sank and used seven points of strength.

Gao Jie's shoulder suddenly felt heavy and he couldn't help but fall.

Xu Xingxia's seven-point strength is only three or four hundred pounds. Such strength is just like this. Gao Jie's body is not as strong as the strong man, nor is it as strong as the strong man. After being suppressed by Xu Xingxia, he could not bear it. However, he was also a person who refused to surrender easily and still struggled to support him.

"Plop!"

After a while, Gao Jie could no longer hold on and knelt straight on the ground.

Xu Xingxia then let go of her hand coldly, without any expression on her face, and said coldly: "You lost! Next time you talk nonsense, I will chop off your tongue!"

Gao Jie lowered his head and didn't say anything, but kept gasping. The contest just now exhausted all his strength. Although he was a little dissatisfied and felt that he was bullied by Xu Xingxia. However, he had no confidence in resisting Xu Xingxia. After all, from the contest just now, he clearly realized that the direct gap between him and Xu Xingxia was still too big. Even if he practiced hard day and night, there was no possibility of surpassing Xu Xingxia.

Gao Yigong next to him hurriedly said, "Xu Qianhu, show mercy!"

Xu Xingxia said lightly: "Don't worry, he's fine, just take a break."

Everything before was naturally done by Xu Xingxia. On the one hand, it was to shock the people around Gao Yingxiang and make them dare not think too much. What he needed was those who were willing to follow him steadily, rather than speculators. The fence-bet who was changing with the wind was the most hated by Xu Xingxia. On the other hand, he was to knock Gao Jie quietly. If this guy was beaten up, he might still be a general in the future.

This Gao Jie was originally from Li Zicheng. Later, he surrendered to the court, turned his gun to deal with the rebel army, and finally died at the hands of Xu Dingguo. However, this Xu Dingguo was not a good person. After killing Gao Jie, he took the initiative to surrender to the Qing army. At the beginning, Gao Jie was just an unknown soldier, and he acted as a front pawn every time he fought. But later, he became one of the four major military towns in the South Ming Dynasty. It is conceivable that this guy is still a little capable and has a good understanding. The Xu family army needs such a person to expand externally.

The next strategic goal of the White Army is to expand into the prairie. In this process, not only do people who can fight, but also people who can use their brains. Playing hide and seek with nomadic people is not good enough. When necessary, they also need ruthless guys. At the critical moment, they must start a slaughter without hesitation and kill all the nomadic people's nests. Obviously, Gao Jie met these requirements.

After hearing Xu Xingxia's answer, Gao Yigong and others were relieved. The other Gao family members, seeing that the most arrogant Gao Jie was easily subdued by Xu Xingxia, naturally did not dare to say anything. They were secretly afraid of Xu Xingxia and did not dare to underestimate them. They actually knew the current situation. If Xu Xingxia had not appeared in time and extended a helping hand in time, they would have been finished. Although they were not sure what kind of life they would face after arriving in Heishan Camp, no matter what, it would have been much better than in Ciyao Village.

Xu Xingxia waved her hand and said casually: "Follow me!"

Everyone hurriedly lifted Gao Yingxiang and other wounded people, followed the soldiers of the White Army, packed their luggage, and prepared to return to the Heishan Camp. Gao Yingxiang and others had wounds on their bodies that needed treatment, so of course they did not dare to neglect them. Time is life! According to Xu Xingxia's requirements, Gao Yigong and Gao Jie separately counted their respective numbers and summarized them together to Xu Xingxia.

In the final statistics, there were 53 horse peddlers who could still act alone. There were nine wounded people who needed help from others to transport them. It is said that when they escaped, there were about 200 people in total, and now only one-quarter are left. You can imagine the tragic battle along the way. The horse peddler who escaped was very sad when he thought of his tragic death. Gao Yigong was very angry with the officers and soldiers, while Gao Jie remained silent.

At this time, the Ming army officers and soldiers in Qingshui Camp also discovered something wrong. After all, Gao Yingxiang's many wounded soldiers were carried out together, and the target was too big and it was impossible to hide. Moreover, Xu Xingxia had no intention of hiding at all. He was just trying to stimulate Lu Yide! As a result, under Lu Yide's strict order, they all lined up out of the city, which was very meaningful to approach the Xu family army. The soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry kept shooting and blocking them from approaching.

Lu Yide hid behind the crowd and said loudly: "Xu Xingxia, since the criminal has been arrested, please submit it! The superiors will reward you for your contributions! I will explain your achievements to the superiors myself!"

Xu Xingxia said flatly: "No!"

Lu Yide held back his anger and said, "Why can't it?"

Xu Xingxia said bluntly: "Gao Yingxiang has a lot of money in his hands, and I want to interrogate it. No one can see him before I get this money!"

Lu Yide was speechless. Xu Xingxia said so bluntly that he had nothing to say for a moment. Because there are some things that everyone knows and tacitly. If he reveals them, it will be meaningless. For example, after catching important criminals, extortion of money and use all means to do everything. In fact, this is also an important means for many people to get rich.

It seems that a horse thief like Gao Yingxiang has been selling horses for many years and is very large. If he doesn't have any money in his hands, he will not believe it. Lu Yide estimated that Gao Yingxiang's wealth control will be at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. As long as he can grab all his money, his life will naturally be much better in the future.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Ningxia Town is willing to dispatch a large army to surround Gao Yingxiang. The big reason is that it is because it is because it is because it is because it is because it is because it is necessary to consume money and food. If Gao Yingxiang's wealth and goods are not enough to fill the hole, it will be a loss. So many guard commanders and thousands of households are actively dispatching, it is just to get a share of the pie. Now, seeing that the pie is about to be taken away by Xu Xingxia, they are of course very unhappy.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Yide cannot let Xu Xingxia take Gao Yingxiang away easily. If Gao Yingxiang's wealth and goods end up falling into Xu Xingxia's hands, all of them would be in vain. Ningxia Town was busy, and the only one who made the profit in the end was Xu Xingxia. How could you accept it?

If you want to talk about other things, you can discuss them, or even murder and rebellion. However, once there is a lot of money involved, there is no need to discuss them. Even if Xu Xingxia is their son, there is no room for negotiation. My father and mother are worse than gold and silver! This is what the ancients said to have died early in the morning.

Lu Yide said flatly: "No!"

Xu Xingxia said leisurely: "General Lu, are you really going to turn against each other?"

Lu Yide said angrily: "Xu Xingxia, if you take Gao Yingxiang away alone, you are a thief! We will denounce you now! Eliminate you!"

Xu Xingxia smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "It turns out that this is how the thief was made! I said General Lu, you are interested in such a little wealth in Gao Yingxiang's hands, right? Since everyone understands people, don't talk nonsense! Let your troops come up and grab it! As long as you can grab it, it's yours! If you can't grab it, it only means you are incompetent!"

Lu Yide's face turned red and said righteously: "Just! Who am I? How could I fall in love with such a thing about him? Let me tell you, arresting Gao Yingxiang is the order of the Three-Border Governor! Are you going to disobey the order of the Three-Border Governor?"

Xu Xingxia's face darkened and said disdainfully: "Don't use the three-sided governor to suppress me. I won't take this trick! I'm here to tell you bluntly that if you want Gao Yingxiang, come and grab it! If you can grab it, it's yours! If you can't grab it, you get out of here!"

Lu Yide could no longer stand such stimulation. After all, he was also a general. In Ningxia Town, he was also considered the number one figure. In Ningxia Town, except for one general and two deputy generals, he had the highest military officer position. He was a general who was shouted like this by Xu Xingxia and was humiliated in all kinds of ways. How could he bear it? No matter how thick his face was, he could not stop the contemptuous gaze of thousands of soldiers under his command!

"Kill him!" Lu Yide issued an order to attack angrily.

"Prepare for the battle!" Xu Xingxia waved her hand casually and gave the order quietly.

The armies of both sides were already very close, and the battle began with the command of their respective commanders. The first ones to rush up were of course the soldiers under Lu Yide. The muskets in their hands must enter within twenty feet before they had the chance to shoot and kill the enemy. Due to the blocking of the Eagle Cavalry, they were still fifty or sixty feet away from Xu Xingxia, which had to be shortened.

As mentioned before, the war soldiers within the Ming army are different from the guards. The treatment of war soldiers is basically guaranteed, and there is generally no serious problem of arrears of money and food. Therefore, generally speaking, their morale will not be very low. In addition, there are a large number of military generals who consciously turn war soldiers into their own private servants, focusing on training, which also makes their combat effectiveness stronger than ordinary guards.

"Shoot!" Liu Heng shouted immediately.

This large-scale squad is the strength of the Tiger Cavalry!

Those stupid Ming army soldiers actually ignored the power and range of the Sun and Moon guns and rushed up like this, which was simply a death. If they didn't seize the opportunity and teach them a lesson, they would think that the white army was easy to bully!

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Dense gunfire sounded.

The Ming army soldiers rushing in front fell down one after another.

In fact, from a technical perspective, Xu Xingxia prefers the enemy to rush up in such a dense manner. Such a formation can maximize the lethality of Minnie bombs. One volley can kill and injure two or three hundred enemies. With just a few volleys, the enemy's offensive momentum can be completely curbed.
