Chapter 244 Massacre(1/2)
An autumn rain came suddenly.
The rain in late autumn is not as violent as summer, but the rain is also astonishing and pouring down.
The noise of the Sun and Moon View gradually stopped and became quiet.
But the quiet village suddenly lit up.
One, two, three...
The lights seemed to be contagious and spread rapidly throughout the village.
Immediately afterwards, the Chen family compound located at the entrance of the village was even brightly lit. The closed door suddenly opened, and a group of servants holding swords and guns walked out of the inside and quickly lined up outside the gate.
Yes, there are thirty or forty people!
Chen Yanbin stood on the doorstep with no smile on his face.
Standing with his hands behind his back, his eyes scanning the houses in the village.
I saw the doors of those houses opened silently. Villagers holding sharp blades walked out of the houses.
Chen Yanbin smiled and nodded slightly.
He waved his hand at the people, and saw them turning around and walking towards the temple like puppets.
One after another, slowly, more than a hundred people gathered.
At this moment, the Sun and Moon View was silent, as if dead...
Chen Yanbin is the clan uncle of Chen Shisi, the venerable of the Ming Cult, but he is much younger than Chen Shisi.
He was the envoy of Guangming in Hangzhou, but he always had anonymous name and only followed Fang La's orders.
Even Fang Qifo did not know that such a subordinate existed. Chen Yanbin lived in a quiet place, and his daily activities were mainly Yuhang, and he never left Yuhang for 30 miles. With Fang La's secret help, Chen Yanbin obtained a large amount of money and helped the Ming Cult develop rapidly in Yuhang.
But few people know his existence because he never leaves Majiangang.
This Majiangang is a secret base of Fang La.
The villagers in the village are all loyalists of the Ming Cult and are loyal to the Ming Cult.
The reason why such a base was set up was to be on guard against it. Even the villagers of Majiangang never use the identity of Ming Cultists, and just like ordinary people, they farm and live here.
The Ming Cult is in rebellion, and Ma Jiangang is not involved.
Chen Yanbin was ordered by Fang La to observe the situation silently in secret.
Until...
"Empress, why should I attack the official army?
The Holy Lord ordered us to lurk. If the government is alarmed, wouldn’t all the previous efforts be wasted?”
Chen Yanbin's subordinates stood behind him and asked in a low voice.
"It's not that I want to violate the orders of the Holy Lord, but that since these people have touched this place, they must have noticed something. The Venerable has not come yet, and the Holy Lord has not succeeded in flooding Hangzhou before.
I feel that something may have happened.
We must not sit and wait for death. Since the government has come to us, we can only fight to the death... Kill them and throw them into the forest. It will take at least a month or two to be discovered by the government. We take the opportunity to get things out and then join the Holy Lord, so it is better to be worried all day here."
"Give up wise!"
Chen Yanbin smiled, his eyes immediately passed through the rain curtain, and fell on the view of the sun and moon at the end of the village.
The villagers have also arrived outside the Sun and Moon View.
After a moment of pause, the villagers shouted in unison, then opened the mountain gate and rushed into the Sun and Moon Temple...
However, there was no movement in the sun and moon view.
Under the eaves, piles of bonfires were lit, making the front yard transparent.
A group of villagers entered Sun and Moon View and did not see the messy scene they imagined. The air was filled with strong alcohol, but no officers and soldiers were seen. The villagers were stunned at first, and then they realized that something was wrong.
The person in charge is Chen Yanbin's son, Chen Shier.
He frowned and immediately shouted loudly: "No, we are fooled, retreat..."
Before he finished speaking, the gate of the Main Hall opened with a clatter, and dozens of officers and soldiers rushed out from it.
At the same time, the doors of the wing rooms on both sides were also opened, and teams of officers and soldiers flashed out and quickly assembled under the porch. They bent their bows and arrows and aimed at Chen Shier and the villagers in the middle of the courtyard.
"You put down your weapons and tie them up, otherwise you will be killed."
"Don't listen to their nonsense and kill me!"
Seeing this scene, Chen Shier understood that the matter was exposed, so she drew her sword and sheathed it.
"Shoot the arrow!"
The moment he drew his sword and unsheathed, the generals of the government army shouted loudly. In an instant, arrows roared like rain and shot towards the people in the courtyard. There were no obstacles in this courtyard and nowhere to hide.
The villagers' shrill screams echoed over the Sun and Moon View.
"I'm calling Yantong. If you don't surrender yet, when will you wait?"
The general of the head of the army shouted sternly with his two whips in his hand.
However, his words are of no use to these villagers who have been brainwashed for years.
Especially as Chen Shier shouted the slogan "Ming Zun and Protective", these people seemed to be crazy, completely ignoring their lives and deaths, and flocked to the official army.
Hu Yantong has seen this situation when he went south this time.
In the battle of Jiangning, the Ming Cult's dead soldiers fought back frantically, causing heavy losses to the government army.
He knew very well that if there was a little carelessness at this time, they might be the ones who were in trouble in the end.
So, he yelled and rushed into the courtyard.
"Brothers, don't be ruthless and kill without any reservation."
Hu Yantong spoke, danced with both whips, flying up and down.
The two villagers' heads were smashed in just a few bangs. Blood mixed with brain matter and splashed everywhere, and under the light of the fire, it showed an extremely cruel sense of strangeness.
The officials in the temple also put down their bows and arrows, drew their swords and unsheathed them.
These people are all elites in the official army, with a long history and rich experience. Seeing the villagers rushing up, they were not panicked and waved their swords to meet them. Although the number of villagers was superior, how could they resist the crazy killing of the official army, and the ones killed by the official army step by step.
Chen Yanbin also realized something was wrong when he was at the entrance of the village.
Sweat medicine had been put into the wine he gave to the government army.
Logically speaking, those official troops should have no power to fight back now, how could it be... not good! He suddenly felt a sudden thrill in his heart and said sternly: "Calling the gong, the whole village attacks, and they must not be let go."
When the subordinates heard this, they did not dare to be negligent, so they hurriedly took out the gong and started to hit it.
The sound of gongs started, and the whole village was boiling.
The villagers who had not come out also rushed out of the house with sticks in their hands, preparing to attack Sun and Moon Temple.
However, although the sound of the gong summoned the villagers, it also summoned Han Shizhong and others who had been secretly lying outside the village. Han Shizhong realized that the situation was not good, especially after Gao Yu discovered the overturned lotus platform, he had already made a decision. He asked Hu Yantong to stay in the temple with fifty people to attract villagers, but he took more than fifty people out of the side door of the backyard of Riyueguan, and hiked through the mountains and forests. He went around to the entrance of the village without knowing the time, waiting for the time to ripe and launch a full-scale attack on the village.
There are only 300 or 500 households in seventy or eighty households.
Although the official army had only more than a hundred people, they were all elite troops in the army, not to mention Han Shizhong's two long-standing battles and excellent martial arts skills. The number of people in the village was not in Han Shizhong's eyes at all.
He rejected Gao Yu's request to let Wu Song and Yan Qing join the war and lie in ambush at the entrance of the village.
With the sound of the gong, Han Shizhong led the way and rushed into the village.
Chen Yanbin stood at the gate and was directing people to attack Riyueguan, but he did not expect an official army to arrive behind him.
Han Shizhong was like a fierce tiger and rushed towards Chen Yanbin.
Chen Yanbin was so scared that he retreated repeatedly and shouted: "Stop them, stop them!"
The servants shouted in unison and rushed forward to stop Han Shizhong.
But how could Han Shizhong be a group of mobs stop him? He was a general who came out of the sea of blood in the northwest corpse mountains and mountains. He held a big knife and flew like snowflakes floating away, and the sword light shining.
Under Han Shizhong's fierce slashing, the servants quickly couldn't resist it.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Yanbin turned around and walked into the house. But how could Han Shizhong let him go? With a loud roar, the big knife slashed over two servants who were blocking him, and jumped onto the doorstep with one steed.
At the same time, in Sun and Moon View, the government army, led by Hu Yantong, drove the villagers out of the mountain gate.
There are only less than 30 villagers who can get out alive.
Although these people were brainwashed by the Ming Cult, they began to feel fear when they saw such crazy killings.
They cried and began to defeat.
Hu Yantong and others were still merciless, waving the iron whip, and flesh and blood flew everywhere...
Han Shizhong rushed into Chen Yanbin's residence, and along the way, he killed everyone he saw and chopped them up. No matter whether the people walking out of the house were men or women, old or young, he showed no mercy and killed them on the spot.
After years of fighting in the northwest, he has developed a strong heart.
The Battle of Jiangning and the subsequent series of experiences also made Han Shizhong understand that the Ming Cultists were crazy. There must be no slightest kindness on the battlefield, and the slightest mercy of their hearts and mercy were the result of fatal damage. Therefore, he slashed and ignited two houses along the way.
The rain is continuous, but it cannot extinguish the raging fire.
