【Chapter 409】Under the gaze of the god of death, the gift is sent out of the country
[Chapter 409] Under the gaze of the god of death, "gifts are given out"
(0409)
Ningxia Town, Lingzhou House, Lingzhou City.
In terms of the long history, Lingzhou City is older than Ningxia City. When Ningxia City was still under the control of the Huns, Lingzhou City had already set up counties. During the Tang Dynasty, Lingzhou City was also called Lingwu, and was one of the important frontier towns. It had a large number of troops stationed all year round. After the Anshi Rebellion, the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty became emperor here. To be more distant, Lingzhou City was also one of the birthplaces of the Yellow River culture.
Many people talk about Lingzhou when they talk about Jiangnan. Indeed, near Lingzhou City is a beautiful and charming water town in Jiangnan. There are extremely developed agricultural irrigation canals, with crisscrossing canals, like rivers. From a distance, it looks like a water town in Jiangnan. Lakes of all sizes are scattered, adding to its beauty. In it, you can't feel that you are in the border area.
In fact, the entire Ningxia Plain is basically a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. For example, when you come out of Ningxia City, you are no longer a wilderness riding horses, but a piece of paddy fields. The roads are crisscrossed among the paddy fields. Cavalry must advance along the road. If the horse's hooves fall into the paddy fields with one foot, I'm sorry, the consequences will definitely be very bad. Only after leaving the Ningxia Plain and going to the border of the Ningxia Plain can you continue to wield.
Starting from Ningxia City, heading south, crossing the Yellow River near Yongning Fort, it is Lingzhou Station. The distance between the two sides is exactly two days away. In the middle, there is a Yongning Fort that can rest for one night. In the past, Lingzhou Station was the second largest town in Ningxia Town, with many business trips and travelers. The city's inns, hostels, teahouses, and wine shops are very good. However, the current Lingzhou Station is simply a refuge.
The officials and powerful officials who retreated from Ningxia City all stayed in Lingzhou for a short time, took a breath, and then continued to flee south. No one would be naive, thinking that the white-clothed army would not continue to pursue after capturing Ningxia City. If they continued to stay in Lingzhou, they would not be sure that the pursuers behind would come up. Thinking of those vicious military households, all the high-ranking officials and powerful officials could not help but feel scared. They knew very well that once they were caught up by their poor legs, they would definitely not have a good life. Thirty-six strategies are the best way to go!
Because of running from Ningxia City in one breath, most people were already exhausted. Even if there was a threat from pursuers behind, they had to take a break and breathe, otherwise they would definitely not be able to continue to escape. As a result, the teahouses and wine shops in the city were even more popular. Some people who were calm and tougher would continue to set off after drinking a few bowls of tea. Some of them gave up on their own, or had poor psychological tolerance and could not bear the heavy blow of reality, so they drank desperately until they got drunk.
"Xu Xingxia, my mother!"
"Xu Xingxia, *** the 18th generation of ancestors!"
"Xu Xingxia, you wait, I must kill you back!"
...
Such yellings and curses came from the wine shop from time to time. Lingzhou was full of messes, but such yellings and curses were spread far and far away. These were all those drunk escapees who took advantage of the alcohol to vent their inner dissatisfaction. In a sober state, they would never dare to yell. The demon nightmare with the name Xu Laomo is too powerful and most people dare not mention it easily. However, when drunk, they can't control so much.
The big men in the high-level officials of Ningxia Town have long escaped without a trace. Now the rest are some commanders, Qianhu, deputy Qianhu, etc. Compared with those big men, they are just muddy under their feet, which is simply disdainful to others. They who cannot go up to the sky or down to the ground have no other way to vent their vent except scolding Xu Xingxia. In their understanding, if it weren't for the devil Xu Xingxia, how could they have fallen to this point?
It’s a pity that they shouted and cursed here, but they had no effect on Xu Xingxia himself. As high-ranking officials of the Guards or high-ranking officials of the war soldiers, they were originally much taller than Xu Xingxia. If they were willing to do things, their achievements would definitely be much taller than Xu Xingxia. However, the final result was that Xu Xingxia rose up, overthrew them all, and drove them all away. They lost everything.
Of course, whenever someone shouts and scolds, the other people in the restaurant will consciously pack up their own things, the farther away from the other party, the better. Who knows whether the White Army pursuers will suddenly come to the death? If the old demon Xu has a sense of what he knows that someone is scolding him here and immediately sends an army to chase him, wouldn't they be done?
"The white army is here!"
Suddenly, I don’t know who screamed.
The people present were immediately panicked and rushed to escape.
Those who were drunk and shouting loudly when they heard the name of the White Army, were all shocked, and they seemed to wake up all the time. They hurriedly stood up, staggered to the outside of the restaurant, and ran to the south along the escaped crowd. They stumbled along the way, and didn't know how many people they knocked down, but in the end, they shouted and scolded again. Occasionally, some people started fighting and the scene was in chaos. Others next to them thought they had not seen it.
"Da da da da!"
The rushing sound of horse hooves quietly rang.
Several scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry appeared ghostly near Lingzhou.
The blue military uniform, dark red belt, and white muskets were the scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry Army. Even if the people present turned into ashes, they recognized them. When the White Army attacked Ningxia City, they were really impressed by such outfits. It was these White Army soldiers who made them homeless people. No one knew what they were going to do when they chased after them. However, it is certain that this group of murderous demons who chased after them would definitely not have any good things for them. So the fleeing crowd suddenly became even more panicked.
The scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry did not come up, nor did they shoot at the fleeing crowd. They just monitored the retreating crowd from afar, firing guns at the sky from time to time to create a tense atmosphere. As a result, under the threat of horse hooves and gunshots, the people who dispersed ran faster. They were exhausted or weak, and were thrown off at this time. Those carrying luggage also hurriedly threw away their luggage and ran away naked. In the process of fighting and trampling each other, many people were trampled to death.
At this time, a group of military households emerged from somewhere, specifically attacking the isolated fugitives. These military households all came from nearby castles. They also learned that Ningxia City was conquered, so they gathered together to take advantage of the situation and make some benefits for themselves. Of course, those who can eat this bowl of rice are not good people. If they get the thing, it's okay. If they don't get the thing, they will have to kill and rob.
"Da da da da!"
Suddenly, there was a more rapid sound of horse hooves.
The crowd of people who escaped became even more panicked. They wanted to throw away all the extra things on their bodies and run away as quickly as possible. In a critical moment, not to mention a ingot of gold, a ingot of silver, even a bracelet or a piece of jade, it was a burden. They wanted to throw away all the clothes on their bodies. As a result, along the way, there were miscellaneous items everywhere, and even gold, silver and wealth.
"Just run away, and you still bring so many things! Isn't that great if you keep all the things? Isn't it good to have them all been taken away halfway through, and I have to throw them away again. Isn't this just tormenting myself?" Chi Hu looked at the chaotic crowd from afar and said to himself meaningfully.
What caught up later was the Shooting Army led by Chi Hu, with a total of five or six hundred people, and the momentum was quite vast. After conquering Ningxia City, they took the lead and rushed to the south of Ningxia Town. The order given to him was to drive all those people south and to the outside of Ningxia Town. In other words, they were to drive half of the city, Tianshui Castle, and south of Qinggang Gorge. As for where they would continue to escape after they arrived at the land, Xu Xingxia would ignore it. As long as they were not in the land of the White Army, it would be fine.
Of course, there is a nice saying of this kind of expulsion, that is, "gifts are given out of the country". Xu Xingxia's meaning is clearer. Our white-clothed army has not been a wise man, and has not cut off your head. If you are tactful, you should run away obediently and leave Ningxia Town and don't come back in the future. If you don't run away, you will have to cut your head off. Of course, if you want to run back in the future, you should also be careful of being cut off.
"Send a gun to the sky!"
Chi Hu waved his hand and gave a cold order.
Those guys' escape speed is still a bit slow, so they have to urge them.
In fact, according to Chi Hu's intention, they simply surrounded them and cleaned them up. Anyway, the officers and soldiers of the White Army were willing to execute such orders. No one of them had a good impression of the officials in the senior management of Ningxia Town. Putting them back to Guyuan Town was like letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and there were endless troubles! However, since Xu Xingxia had an order, he did not say anything.
"Bang bang bang!"
Flashes of guns rang out, shaking the empty fields around.
The fleeing crowd was intimidated by gunfire, and the speed of escape was naturally faster. When they ran to Shajing, they took a break and took a breath. The rare thing about the White-Clothed Army did not continue to catch up. Some even spent one night in Shajing. However, after dawn, the White-Clothed Army led by Chi Hu appeared again. So, under the surveillance of the Sound Stove Army, the officials and powerful officials of Lingzhou hurriedly set off on the road again.
They walked in a hurry, and had to throw away most of the things they carried on the road. When they escaped from Ningxia City, they still found ways to bring precious wealth to themselves as much as possible. Nowadays, if you don’t have the wealth in your hands and you will not have the chance to survive in a strange place. Gold ingots, silver ingots, etc. are too heavy to take, jade, jade, pearl agate, etc., you can also bring them!
However, the White Army's pursuit made their dreams soon disappear. At this time, life is the most important thing, and everything else must be abandoned. Jade, jade, pearl agate, etc. are also important and inconvenient. There is no way, so I have to throw it away. You can't even want your own life because of these things, right? The White Army's gun is black, and it's only less than three miles away from them!
As a result, on the long road to the city where Lingzhou went, the white-clothed army picked up a lot of wealth, but quite a lot, and the value was estimated to be hundreds of thousands of taels. What they picked up were all good guys, definitely not ordinary things like gold and silver ingots. These good guys were small in size and high in value. Such as rare antiques, jade, jade, pearls, agate, gems, famous paintings, copybooks, etc. They were all valuable things, and they were extremely valuable in collection.
"Okay, not bad!" Chi Hu was quite satisfied with the harvest along the way.
The Chairman's mind is cunning. If you continue to chase it all the way, there is no need for the White Army to take action. Just pick up the bargains from behind. I wonder how the court will evaluate such behavior after knowing it. I'm afraid it will be even worse than killing people and robbing people directly! Then again, only the Chairman can think of such a vicious method. I guess those guys will have psychological shadows for the rest of their lives after they escape and will never dare to cause trouble for the White Army. Otherwise, what awaits them will definitely be the next more painful escape.
"Continue to move forward!" Chi Hu waved his hand and continued to carry out the "gifts to leave the country" mission with the sound shooting army. If someone really can't run, then I'm sorry, I can only start killing. The chairman said that you can't run away by yourself and you can't blame others! Who told you that you usually know how to eat, drink, play and exercise, and don't pay attention to exercise? You see, others are running fast, and they are about to leave the jurisdiction of Ningxia Town. You are still here to procrastinate. Who will you kill if you don't kill?
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The dull gunshots came sporadically.
This is the powerful and powerful official who could not run behind him. After being caught, he was shot and executed on the spot.
The sound of gunfire of death greetings forced other high-ranking officials and powerful officials to use their strength to continue running wildly. In the face of the direct threat of death, everyone showed twelve points of potential and ran wildly. It has to be said that under the stimulation of the desire to survive, people's explosive power is still very strong. The speed of escape has become faster.
Chi Hu and the others were hanging behind him, packing up the things that others threw away. For the sake of lightweight clothing, the fleeing crowd probably wanted to throw away the last copper plate on their bodies. I don’t know if they still have a son when they ran to Guyuan Town? Perhaps, such an experience will never be forgotten in the rest of their lives?
