Chapter 168: Bloody Battle in Yangshu Village
Yes, it’s a delicious wine but don’t drink too much!
Zhang Xiaosi was greedy for wine and drank too much without realizing it.
Among the officers and soldiers of the Zhang family army who followed him outside, a small number of them were also drunk.
"Hey! Who is this young lady? Come on, come on, play with me."
A centurion of the Zhang family army, under the influence of alcohol, looked at a cook who was serving dishes and said with an obscene smile.
"Ah! Take your pig's paw away."
The cook was already a married woman, and she cursed at the centurion who stretched out his hand.
"You country woman, it's your blessing that the master likes you, don't give me face..."
The sound was so loud that the men in the village who were present stood up when they heard it.
"What are you doing? I'm a distinguished guest invited by the Lu family. Do you want to rebel?"
A soldier from the Zhang family army drew his saber, pointed it at the young man who stood up and shouted.
"Rebellion is about going against the imperial court. You are not soldiers of our Great Zhou, yet you are wielding knives and acting recklessly on our territory. I consider you the rebels. Brothers, apprehend these traitors!"
The soldiers of Zijing Pass often bully others, but how can they allow others to show off their power in their own territory?
When the defenders heard Zhang Sheng's shout, they stood up and moved forward without saying a word.
Seeing this, other generals at Zijing Pass also hurried over with their men.
"What's going on? Brother Zhang, are you all armed and ready to fight?"
Qiu Yishou was also a centurion. He was from Qiujiayao, Pingshan, Jing County. He was originally a miner. When he was fifteen years old, he killed someone and hid in Yangshu Village to avoid disaster. He was taken in by the Yang family.
Now that he is a centurion at Zijing Pass, he naturally follows Zhang Chuanma's orders.
"Qiu Yishou, these bastards, molested Shanhua girl and turned the tables and accused us of rebellion."
The people who were speaking were villagers from Yangshu Village, and they all knew Qiu Yishou.
"In our Yangshu Village, if you provoke our mountain flowers, I think you are like old ladies taking cold showers in the middle of winter, looking for medicine to drink!"
After saying that, he punched him.
It hit the centurion of Zhang's army right on the nose, causing blood to spurt out. His nose was crooked, and it looked like a sauce shop, with red, yellow and white liquids pouring out.
Qiu Yishou's name comes from the fact that he once killed someone with one punch.
Fortunately, the centurion was in good health. His head was buzzing from the beating and he couldn't utter a word.
A soldier beside him shouted: "Someone is being beaten..."
Who knew that before he could finish his words, he was met with another punch from Qiu Yishou.
"What a short-sighted guy." Qiu Yishou cursed and then looked again.
Blood was coming out of the soldier's eyes, nose, and mouth. He was breathing out but not in. He stood there unable to move.
Even the most confused person could see that something serious had happened.
The person near the door slipped inside.
"What's the matter, so panicked?"
A general beside Zhang Xiaosi asked the person who was running over.
"Master, there's a fight outside, and it seems someone's been killed."
The general looked at Zhang Xiaosi and saw that his eyes were slightly narrowed and he was silent for a long time. He was probably drunk.
"Who beat whom to death?"
"Yes, it was an officer from the Great Zhou who killed our soldiers."
When the general heard this, he realized it was no small matter: "When did the battle begin? How long did it last? Why are you reporting this only now?"
"General," the man looked at Zhang Xiaosi, swallowed his saliva and said, "You killed our soldier on the spot with just one punch."
"Kill him with one punch?" The general repeated, then staggered back a bit, calming himself and looking at Zhang Xiaosi: "General, how do we handle this matter?"
Although Zhang Xiaosi was a little drunk, he could still understand what people were saying.
"Who is it? You dare to go against my Zhang family army, you are looking for death!"
After saying this, he stood up and was about to draw his sword.
The accompanying generals wanted to step forward to stop him, but they were afraid that Zhang Xiaosi would hurt them by mistake.
"Marshal, calm down..."
"Yes, General, calm down!"
The people around also tried to dissuade him.
Seeing this, the Yang family members sitting opposite stood up, stepped aside, and watched Zhang Xiaosi practice drunken swordplay with expressionless faces.
After he staggered, everyone looked at him as if he were a fool, and Zhang Xiaosi also became much more sober.
"Tell me, you dared to beat up my generals. It seems you are quite courageous."
Yang Chuanbao, who was standing by, had already lost his patience. He picked up a bench and hurled it at him, yelling, "You're causing trouble in my house. I'm giving you face."
This was like a signal. Those who had been preparing for battle in different positions, all of whom were good fighters in the village, took out weapons from under the table and in the haystacks and attacked Zhang Xiaosi and his group.
The fact that the Zhang family army was able to survive for so many years in the grassland at the end of the previous dynasty shows that these people are still quite combat-effective and have strong adaptability.
Several sober generals protected Zhang Xiaosi and rushed to the door waving their swords.
"Don't let this villain escape!" Yang Linggong shouted, holding a wooden stick, and went straight to Zhang Xiaosi's position.
Zhang Xiaosi had a general under his command, whose surname was Yan and whose name was Yunchu. He was a hero who was rescued from the Huns during a hunting trip on the grassland.
When he saw Yang Linggong coming with a stick, he was afraid that he would block his way, so he reached out from his waist, took out a dart, and shot it at the old Linggong.
Yang Linggong saw a cold light flying towards him and dodged sideways, avoiding a dart flying towards his face. He did not expect that Yan Yunchu would shoot out two darts at the same time, which only separated into two pieces when they were close to him.
Ling Gong was unable to dodge and was hit on the shoulder by the dart.
"Hmm!" Ling Gong in his hand suddenly felt something was wrong, and a pain and numbness spread throughout his body.
"Oh no, it's poisonous." By the time he realized all this, Yang Linggong was already feeling dizzy.
How could the general of Zhang's army miss this opportunity? He swung his sword and slashed it across the old general's chest.
Blood dyed Yang Linggong's body red.
"Father!" Seeing this, Yang Chuangan took two wild steps, jumped up, and swung his knife hard.
The man who had scratched Ling Gong prepared to resist when he saw this, but the opponent was too strong, his sword-holding hand softened, the knife chopped into his forehead, and the sword sank into his left shoulder blade.
After two bone-piercing sounds, the enemy general fell to the ground and died.
Yang Chuangan supported his old father, picked him up and moved back.
The second brother, Yang Chuanqiang, hurried forward and took two villagers with him to stop the attacking enemy.
Outside the village, the sound of killing was deafening. The bowls on the table and the benches people sat on became weapons.
Fortunately, everyone was well prepared, and the battle situation outside was showing signs of suppressing the enemy.
Li Lei, who was on duty, felt a little worried after Zhang Sheng left, so he led more than 400 people towards Yangshu Village.
At the same time, people from Yangjiawan, three miles away, learned about the situation in Yangshu Village and came to support with 300 people.
When the two groups of people arrived, a fierce battle was taking place in the village.
"Brothers, charge! Target the Zhang family's troops and attack them."
"Hit me..."
After a shout, another seven hundred people from the village joined in and beat Zhang Xiaosi's men fiercely.
More than two thousand people fighting against one thousand people. We cannot say it was a complete victory, but what it brought to Zhang's army was deep shock and fear.
The battle ended quickly and Zhang Xiaosi was captured.
"Brother! Second brother is injured." Yang Chuanbao hurriedly found Yang Chuangang and told him about Yang Chuanqiang's situation.
"How is your second brother injured?" Yang Chuangan was very anxious. His father was seriously injured, and he didn't know how his second brother was doing.
"My second brother has severe injuries to his abdomen and shoulders, and is bleeding profusely. Although he has been given medicine, I'm afraid the damage will be done!"
Yang Chuanbao had not fought in a war in the past few years in the army, but he had heard that such injuries were extremely difficult to treat and were basically a life-threatening situation.
"Captain Yang, I've captured the man for you. Let's see how to deal with him."
Li Lei walked into the courtyard with a smile on his face. Behind him was the tied-up Zhang Xiaosi, who was dragged in like a dead dog.
"You bastard, I'm going to kill you..."
"Wait a minute, fourth brother, spare his life!"
