Chapter 69: Chen Guangfu's Depression

Li San thought about it for a while, then smiled evilly and said: "Of course, the higher the better. I think that whoever bids the highest will be given the best price! But a human head costs at least twenty taels of silver..."

After nightfall, Xishan Village sent two scouts to inform Li San of today's battle situation in Xishan Village. After hearing this, Li San immediately smiled from ear to ear.

Nearly three hundred rebel heads, twenty taels each, can be exchanged for at least six thousand taels of silver. These six thousand taels of silver are not a small amount. Even if they are used to buy a cute girl from a trafficker, they can at least be bought.

A few hundred, if used in exchange for grain, even if the price of food in Shandong is extremely high now, one stone of grain costs three or four taels of silver. These six thousand taels of silver can at least be exchanged for more than a thousand stones of grain, which is enough to feed the family.

A lot of people, a lot of time.

At this time, Lu Zhi County had also sent people to privately spread the news that Li San was willing to sell the rebels' heads. In Mouping County, some generals and officials guarding other city gates were immediately shocked when they heard this.

Interested.

So after nightfall, they sent people privately to the north gate to discuss with Li San the matter of purchasing the rebel heads.

These people are not short of money, but what they are most afraid of is military merit. Now that heads can be bought, even if some people are unwilling to spend money, they are afraid that if others spend money to buy it, their faces will be disgraced.

So these people came to Li San to discuss the purchase of heads. Of more than 300 heads, except for 50 left for Lu Zhixian, the rest were ordered overnight.

Because the rebels have not retreated yet, it is not convenient for the heads from Xishan Village to be transported to the city at the risk, so these people pay a deposit first and reserve the heads. After the rebels retreat, they immediately go to Liu Butong to pick up the goods.

Liu BuTong and Wu Shengtian were both so happy about this incident that they could not sell their heads for such a good price after killing people in a war. This was an unexpected surprise and they made a fortune for nothing.

With this money, they no longer need to ask the superiors to allocate money here for everything. They can solve part of it on the spot with the sale of heads. It is estimated that if this news is spread back, it will definitely make Shangfeng very happy.

Satisfied, those who are in charge will inevitably be praised. From now on, the day when they will be promoted among the sea wolves is probably not too far away.

So they quickly sent people to run to the ice, cut off some of the heads that were not chopped off, and carefully transported them back and piled them up. Now it was freezing cold, and everyone's head was as frozen as a stone. It was not possible at all.

I'm worried that they will rot and deteriorate. These human heads, which look extremely grim and toothy, originally made people look very uncomfortable, but now that they look at them, they feel much more pleasing to the eye. These are all just free money.

ah!

Besides, the rebel general named Wan fled back to the rebel camp and told Chen Guangfu about the defeat in Xishan Village during the day and the almost annihilation of the entire army. On the one hand, Chen Guangfu was furious on the spot, and on the other hand, he was also shocked.

He never thought that a small Xishan Village could actually have such combat power. Although the guy named Wan he sent was average in ability, he had been in Dongjiang Town before and had followed him through life and death and experienced hundreds of battles.

Although most of the rebels he brought with him were some rebels who were later recruited and were not considered core elites, after all, many of them were former members of the Dongjiang Army. They had all seen battles and were by no means as easy to deal with as ordinary Shandong soldiers.

.

However, Chen Guangfu couldn't understand the fact that such five hundred soldiers and horses went to Xishan Village and were completely wiped out by the regiment training of Xishan Village after a battle.

Especially after hearing the report from a man surnamed Wan, who said that the Xishan Village Yong had an extremely sharp bird gun in his hand that could kill a person wearing armor from a hundred steps away, Chen Guangfu didn't believe this at all.

I believe, how could he not understand the performance of the gun? Even if it is a Rumi gun, it is absolutely impossible to kill an armored man from a hundred steps away.

But the trembling man named Wan recounted the war situation at that time and insisted that it was true. Even the few soldiers who protected him and escaped back also insisted that it was absolutely true.

However, their words still attracted ruthless ridicule from other colleagues. In the eyes of those traitorous generals, the man named Wan was full of nonsense and what he said was simply nonsense. If the gun could reach a hundred steps away, the armored man would be beaten to death.

If so, then there will be no more wars in the future. Who can withstand such a powerful weapon?

So in their eyes, the man surnamed Wan must have done something stupid and was defeated miserably by Tuan Lian Xiangyong from Xishan Village. When this guy came back and said this, he must be trying to shirk responsibility. They did vaguely hear the news from Xishan Village during the day.

, there was a series of gunshots, but they didn't believe at all that what Wan said was true.

As the general who came here this time, Chen Guangfu didn't believe what the subordinate named Wan said, but he was still a little suspicious. First of all, he felt that the team training in Xishan Village was probably not simple.

The local warriors in the regiment are very poorly equipped. Although they can get some fire guns and even small cannons, it is difficult to get many bird guns.

After all, blunderbuss are military equipment, and the price is high. There are not many blunderbuss scattered on the market. However, this Xishan Village has been proven today that they have a large number of blunderbuss in their hands, at least two to three hundred.

.

Who was the wealthy man named Liu in Xishan Village, and how could he get so many guns? Could it be that this guy had some kind of super backstage behind him? So he immediately sent people to the captured locals to inquire about the matter.

Liu's different origins.

Not long after, someone came back to report that although Liu BuTong was from Shandong, he had not been in Ninghai Prefecture before and only came back last year. According to his own words, he went to Fujian and Guangdong to do business a few years ago and made a fortune.

I have made a fortune, and now I want to return to my hometown to buy some properties. I came back last year and bought a large amount of land in Xishan Village, and spent money to build the village wall of Xishan Village. I also bought a lot of land on Yangma Island.

Earth fences have also been erected on the island.

It is said that he had hundreds of servants and warriors on his hands. These servants and warriors were very tough. Not long after they first arrived, they suppressed many local gangsters and killed many local ruffians who tried to cause trouble for him, so that now

When it comes to Xishan Village, locals don't dare to mess with the man named Liu.

Moreover, this man surnamed Liu behaves strangely. Since last year, he has been opening a porridge shack in Xishan Village to provide porridge. He has made a lot of good friends. However, in private, he has purchased a large number of children and women, especially women.

The batches were bought back from human traffickers and then shipped to the south.

It means that this guy may be a human trafficker with a big business, but no one can tell clearly what he does. They only know that this guy is very rich, very rich, and has a lot of food on hand. He has been detained during this period.

A large number of refugees and being able to feed them.

After Chen Guangfu heard this, he combined with a group of men sent today to tentatively attack the North Gate Pass. After the failure, his head suddenly felt a bit big. He thought to himself: Why is I so unlucky?

A piece of hob meat.

Although this Xishan Village is definitely a big fat sheep, but at the moment, it seems that this fat sheep is not delicious, and this Xishan Village is still a tiger. If you are not careful, it might not be good.

You'll get a big bite from him.

Today he sent 500 people to Xishan Village, but almost the entire army was wiped out. The others who were sent to attack Beimen Pass also suffered a lot of casualties. He didn't know who was guarding Beimen Pass, but according to the information of his subordinates who had returned from defeat,

He said that the officers and soldiers guarding Beiguanxiang also had many sharp and extremely sharp muskets in their hands, which could shoot far, accurately, and ruthlessly. Is there any connection between Beiguanxiang and Xishan Village? Chen Guangfu could not guess.

His current situation is very embarrassing. Although he brought 2,000 troops, he suffered heavy losses in just two or three days. Now with his small force, it is no longer easy to capture Muping County.

After he came to Muping County this time, he felt that the defenders here seemed to have a strong will to resist. Especially after the battle at the North Gate today, the resistance of other gates was also increasing.

He now only has more than a thousand troops left, and it is impossible to capture Mouping County again. So after Chen Guangfu thought about it, he did not dare to lead troops to Xishan Village for revenge without permission. Instead, he sent fast horses.

He was ordered to rush back to Dengzhou immediately and seek help from Li Jiucheng, who was in charge of Dengzhou.

He ordered the people who ran back to report the situation to Li Jiuzheng clearly about the situation in Xishan Village, and asked Li Jiuzheng to send him as many reinforcements as possible this time and bring in two heavy artillery. Only in this way could he possibly report the situation.

The revenge of this arrow.

After sending away the people who reported the news, Chen Guangfu ordered to continue to blockade and surround Mouping County, avoid Beiguan, and specifically attack several other city gates. Even if it was a feint attack, they should at least maintain pressure on the defenders in Mouping County, so that

He is always in a state of tension.

In the next ten days or so, there were fierce battles at several other city gates, but only the north gate was calm. The rebels never dared to attack the north gate, which made Li San quite depressed.

However, the defenders on the other side of the city gate complained endlessly about this, and howled in distress every day, as if they might be captured by the rebels at any time.

Zhao Zhizhou and other officials were extremely nervous these days, fearing that one of the city gates would not be able to withstand the rebel attack, so he thought of the Xishan Village Tuanlian who guarded the north gate.

Zhao Zhizhou deliberately wanted to use these warriors from Xishan Village as his direct reserve team, to act as firefighters. Wherever the battle situation is tight, he would send them to fight against the enemy.
