Liu Huiniang heard Gao Liang say that...
The cavalry that caught up
It turned out that it was Zhaojia Village that received Zhao Xin.
He immediately frowned.
"Sister Gao, you fought that scoundrel for our sake, resulting in the complete annihilation of the government's cavalry,"
“That fellow will surely seek revenge when he gets back.”
"Why don't you come with us?"
"Forget it, I still have an elderly father at home, how can I abandon him?"
Gao Liang politely declined.
"As for Zhao Xin, if that fellow had any sense of shame, he probably wouldn't have revealed that he lost to me."
Seeing that Gaoliang refused to listen to advice,
Liu Huiniang could only speak up.
This caused problems for sorghum later on.
So he went to Ape Arm Village to find them.
Then,
The two then parted ways on the road.
Gaoliang returned to Zhaojia Village, Mengyin County.
As for Liu Huiniang and the others
They then went to Yuanbi Village to join the outlaws.
.........
Anle Village
They retreated all the way back to the village.
After the soldiers were ordered to defend the village,
Ruan Qixiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly sent Zhao Xin over.
They inquired about the ambush at Liangshan and learned of the hidden troops.
In order to shirk responsibility, Zhao Xin
He then began spouting nonsense.
In his mouth,
Liangshan mobilized more than 500 bandits.
They hid in the woods.
Use bows and crossbows and tripwires.
They ambushed him and his cavalry!
"More than five hundred bandits?"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Qixiang
His brows immediately furrowed.
"Isn't that about the same number as the government troops?"
377 "My lord, after I was seriously injured by the bandits, while I was lying on the ground, I vaguely heard those henchmen say that these bandits were just the vanguard of Liangshan's army!"
Zhao Xin continued to threaten,
"The real Liangshan army should be still behind, probably at least three to five thousand!"
"Three to five thousand?"
Ruan Qixiang was so frightened that he jumped up from his seat.
"No, if we stay in Anle Village any longer, what if we get surrounded by the Liangshan army?"
"Men, set off immediately! Return to Yizhou Prefecture!"
"Lord Ruan, our entire cavalry force has been wiped out on our journey to Rouge Mountain. If we return now, I fear the Prefect will blame us."
Zhao Xin said in a low voice.
"Hmph, it's all because of you, you good-for-nothing, that everything went wrong! If you hadn't lost your cavalry, I wouldn't be worried about this at all!"
Ruan Qixiang immediately began to hurl insults.
Although Zhao Xin felt resentful,
But now he still has to rely on Ruan Qixiang as his powerful backer.
He could only suppress his anger and whisper his suggestion...
Chapter 508: Government Troops Massacre the Village!
"Sir, these five hundred elite soldiers from Yizhou Prefecture have come; we can't let them leave empty-handed."
Zhao Xin said in a low voice,
"What else can I do? Send them to attack Liangshan?"
Ruan Qixiang gritted his teeth and said angrily.
"Sir, the Liangshan bandits are certainly not easy to deal with, but surely you can deal with these bandits in Anle Village as well?"
Zhao Xin looked at the nearby residents,
If anyone knows, please tell me.
"What do you mean?"
Ruan Qixiang was stunned for a moment.
"My lord, I have already investigated and dealt with it."
Zhao Xin reported,
"Although Liu Guang's family only stayed in Anle Village for two or three days,"
"But in just these two or three days, they gathered villagers and assembled two or three hundred able-bodied men,"
"On the surface, they say they are organizing village militias, but in reality, they are definitely training soldiers to assist Liangshan in attacking Yizhou Prefecture in the future."
"So, sir, aren't these villagers also bandits who have joined the bandits?"
"........I see,"
Ruan Qixiang then nodded in understanding.
Without any hesitation,
He immediately agreed to Zhao Xin's plan.
“I can’t stand the sight of blood. Wait until I’m outside the village, then you can do it.”
Ruan Qixiang warned,
"Remember, killing innocent people and claiming credit for them is a grave crime; you must do it cleanly."
"Don't worry, sir, I understand."
Zhao Xin quickly assured him.
......
After a while,
Under the protection of a squad of soldiers,
Ruan Qixiang hid outside the village.
The remaining soldiers,
They then drove all the villagers of Anle Village to an open space in the village.
The villagers all looked around in bewilderment.
Nobody knows,
These officials insisted on bringing them together.
What exactly is the reason?
"Lord Zhao, the villagers are all here,"
A soldier stepped forward to report.
"Um,"
A ruthless glint flashed in Zhao Xin's eyes.
He waved his hand abruptly.
"Let's do it."
With his command,
The villagers and soldiers surrounded them on all sides.
They all grabbed their weapons.
He slashed at the nearest villagers!
In the small village,
The air was immediately filled with the villagers' wails and screams!
Although the villagers are numerous,
But when they were gathered together
They were all unarmed.
Other than that,
Villagers who toil in the fields for a living
How could they possibly be a match for soldiers who earn merit through fighting?
In the blink of an eye
Six or seven hundred villagers,
Most of them had already collapsed.
On the open ground of the entire village,
Blood flowed like rivers, and corpses littered the fields.
“…” Cut off the heads of all the young bandits!
Zhao Xin shouted the order.
"These heads must be taken back to Yizhou Prefecture to be recognized as a reward!"
"Move all the remaining corpses to Liu Guangde's house and burn them to the ground!"
"Yes!"
All the soldiers of Yizhou Prefecture responded loudly.
Although there were a few soldiers,
Seeing innocent villagers lying in pools of blood,
His face showed reluctance.
But he was also a soldier (good Zhao Zhao).
But everyone is hoping,
