Chapter 188 Close the Net 2
The leader of the Wuhu Gang gang was Chen Zhi. He officially took over as the Wuhu Gang when he was 30 years old. By the time he was fifty, the power of the Wuhu Gang had developed rapidly and was dominant in the Taihu area. Almost no one could compete with the Wuhu Gang.
In addition, Taihu Lake is also a transit station for a large number of ships. To get from Taihu Lake, protection fees are necessary, and the fees and money paid by various ships are also a great asset. In other words, the current Wuhu Gang is already rich.
Of course, you have to open up all kinds of joints when you have money. Whether it is the surrounding yamen or the army, at least some official positions, Chen Zhi will be more or less filial to some gold and silver during festivals. In this way, if there is any disturbance, Chen Zhi will know immediately.
How could the Jinyiwei and the imperial court not know about this? So the action was very meticulous. No news was revealed before the action. Only Lu Bing and a few thousand households knew about the Jinyiwei, while only Hu Zongxian and Yu Dayou were there on the army. As for the next-level generals, they didn't even know where they were going this time before they set off.
It is precisely because of this confidentiality that the soldiers who arrived at the destination learned about this mission: to wipe out the Wuhu Gang! To capture important backbone personnel of the Wuhu Gang.
As for the reason, the Wuhu Gang colluded with Japanese pirates, not only transporting food to Japanese pirates, but also helping Japanese pirates sell stolen goods!
These soldiers have been on the coast for many years and participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates. They have been used to the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Japanese pirates, and many of their robes have died at the hands of the Japanese pirates.
After hearing these tasks after arriving at the goal, the soldiers were surprised and angry. They defended the safety of their land and people with blood at the beach, and did not hesitate to stop the Japanese pirates from fighting to death.
However, just behind their protection, some people actually provided food to the Japanese pirates for money, so that the Japanese pirates could eat and drink, and then invaded the land of the Ming Dynasty and killed the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the Ming Dynasty.
What is the difference between these people and treason?
Now these soldiers are furious, as if they are so angry that they can't use their anger to burn the head of the Wuhu Gang in front of them to ashes. Compared to facing Japanese pirates, their murderous intent is stronger and their morale is better.
Looking at the group of angry soldiers in front of him, Yu Dayou was very satisfied and issued an order at the same time, no one was allowed to escape. If anyone sends the letter, he will be killed without mercy!
Because of the unusual secret of this operation, the officials along the way had no idea of the purpose, and most of the time they marched at night. When their subordinates went to report to the local county magistrate that the imperial troops surrounded the head of the Wuhu Gang, the county magistrate still did not get up on the concubine's bed.
After learning about this situation, the county magistrate rushed over and was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him. However, as soon as he approached, he was blocked by the soldiers. He hurriedly said, "I am the county magistrate here. I wonder which general is coming today?"
The soldier said without hesitation: "It's General Yu Dayou!"
Yu Dayou's name was very famous, and few people didn't know it. The county magistrate was really shocked when he heard it and said, "I don't know if I can report it, and I will say that the officials are asking for a meeting!"
The soldier also asked him to wait and report to him. After a while, the soldier came back and said, "Please!"
He followed the soldiers to Yu Dayou, and the county magistrate had his luggage and said, "Please pay a visit to General Yu."
"Um!"
Yu Dayou agreed softly.
The county magistrate glanced at the three layers outside and three layers here, which surrounded the entire Wuhu Gang headquarters. He swallowed his saliva and said, "General Yu, what are you doing?"
Yu Dayou gave him a blank look and said, "I am ordered to come and wipe out the rebels Wuhu Gang and others. What questions do you have?"
The county magistrate was stunned and said, "Shall the rebels, the Wuhu Gang has always abide by the laws and regulations locally. I don't know where the rebels will start? Besides, this is the jurisdiction of my official, and there is no notice in advance."
Yu Dayou snorted coldly and said, "As for why you didn't notify you, and why the Wuhu Gang rebels, I will let someone tell you."
As he said that, he turned his head to the deputy general next to him and said, "Go and Jiang Qianhu invite him, just say that the county magistrate wants to ask for advice if you have something to do."
"Yes, General!"
The deputy general agreed and hurriedly rode away.
Yu Dayou looked at the Wuhu Gang headquarters again, saying, "I gave them a stick of incense to consider it. If you don't surrender, I will order an attack. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy. Since they are within your jurisdiction, you must be familiar with them. If this is the best, you'd better persuade them to surrender honestly and not resist stubbornly, otherwise there will be a dead end."
As he said that, waved his hand.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of soldiers pushed a few cannons, then spread out in front of the formation, and the dark muzzles pointed at the gate of the Wuhu Gang.
At best, the walls and gates of the Wuhu Gang were made of ordinary stones, and then several arrow towers were built. They were not considered fortifications at all, and they were vulnerable in front of the cannons.
The most important point is that it is deterrence. The Wuhu Gang also has archers, but when they see the cannons lined up, their legs are a little weak. After all, for them, they usually deal with fellow gangs, and they are really good at fighting. In addition, no one dares to oppose the Wuhu Gang in the area of Taihu. They are the only ones, and no one dares to oppose them. However, now they are facing a regular army. Compared with the gangs, the momentum alone is enough to make people scared.
The county magistrate looked at the row of cannons and looked at the incense that was less than half burning. Sweat couldn't help but flow down. How could he not understand the truth that the lips were dead and the teeth were cold? If the Wuhu had finished helping him, the county magistrate would have finished.
"If you want to persuade the surrender, you still have time now. If you spend a while, you will die inside, and I will go back to report to the court, saying that you have made contributions to killing the enemy, and you will sacrifice your life for the country!"
Yu Dayou said coldly.
The county magistrate couldn't help but feel cold. He couldn't help but take two steps back and said with a smile: "General, I don't need to see it."
Yu Dayou said: "No need? You have to think clearly. If you don't go this time, you will have no chance later."
The county magistrate smiled awkwardly and said, "No, no, since these people are guilty, then naturally, national laws should be used to severely punish them and the subordinates sued their subordinates."
"Sir, where are you going?"
A cold voice came.
The county magistrate looked up and saw a man wearing the Jinyiwei official uniform was looking at him at this moment, giving people the feeling that he was full of death.
The county magistrate was so scared that he seemed to have no strength to walk, and hurriedly said, "If you don't go, if you don't go, if you don't go, you won't go!
,"snort!"
The Jinyiwei Qianhu snorted coldly and said, "Where is the best place to go? Since this is your jurisdiction, you can watch it. Otherwise, the court will finally investigate and you will have something to say, come and protect the lord carefully."
Several Jinyiwei immediately stepped forward, and one of them said, "Sir, please!"
After the county magistrate was controlled, the Qianhu said: "General, don't you know when to prepare for an attack?"
Yu Dayou looked at the sandalwood inside the incense burner and said, "Wait until the incense ash in the incense burner is burned out."
Qianhu nodded, looked at the head of the Wuhu Gang in front of him, and said, "It seems that these people still have no intention of surrendering."
Yu Dayou said: "Wouldn't it be just right if you don't surrender? You'll be wiped out and you'll be wiped out."
You should know that the situation of fighting against Japanese pirates along the coast is very serious. Japanese pirates are like locusts. The people on the coast are deeply harmed, and countless soldiers have lost their lives because of Japanese pirates. Isn’t that hatred of Japanese pirates to the core?
However, the Wuhu Gang helped the Japanese pirates to cancel their accounts and buy food at the same time. What's the difference between that and treason? So Yu Dayou was extremely angry when he received this task.
Qianhu said: "In fact, many gang members don't know what they are doing at all, they just obey the orders."
Yu Dayou glanced at it and said, "When did the Jinyiwei become so kind?"
Qianhu said: "What does it mean to be so kind to be a Jinyiwei also pays attention to evidence when doing things. These ordinary Wuhu Gang members probably don't even know what they usually do. There are only a few people who can get into the real secrets of theirs."
Yu Dayou said: "Then do you mean those shrimp soldiers and crab generals will be let go?"
Qianhu said: "If they are willing to put down their weapons, if they resist, they will kill them."
Is the Jinyiwei kind? Of course, the Jinyiwei is not kind, and any kindness has its limits.
……………………
"Gangmaster, what should I do?"
The big and small leaders below are now looking at Chen Zhi with some gaze.
The incident happened so suddenly, without any warning at all. The large number of soldiers from the court had already surrounded the entire headquarters tightly.
Chen Zhi asked with a calm face: "Are the people sent out to deliver the letter?"
The third leader of the Wuhu Gang, Shui Jiaolong, shook his head and said, "No, the court has arranged very strong troops around the head steward. The person we sent to deliver the letter was caught as soon as we went out, and then he was taken to the gate and chopped his head in front of the brothers in the gang. So now no one can go out, and no one dares to go out."
The second head of the army said in confusion: "The court's actions were very strange this time."
Chen Zhi asked: "What's strange about it?"
The second head of the family said: "Reason!"
Chen Zhi said in a deep voice: "What's the reason?"
The second head of the family said: "The reason for the court to take action is impossible for no reason. The most important point is that there is the Jinyiwei. Is the small accountant who slipped away so much that he can alarm the Jinyiwei? The only possibility is that our affairs were exposed."
All the backbone of the Wuhu Gang were present, so of course they knew what the so-called thing was leaked.
Chen Zhi's face became even more gloomy and said, "Celebrity Wei can have such ability with just a small accountant? What he stole was just a small accountant."
The second headmaster said: "If the Jinyiwei didn't find anything, how could it be so big? Don't forget that several months have passed."
Chen Zhi said: "Since this is a flower, then we can only fight with those officers and soldiers?"
"Yes, fight with them!"
"Fight!"
...
The hall was noisy, and at this moment, a loud thunder sounded suddenly outside.
"What's going on?"
The people in the hall were shocked and all went out, but what they saw were flames soaring into the sky and arrows falling like raindrops. The arrows were stained with tinder oil, just like countless fire rains falling from the sky.
These rockets are obviously absolutely deadly for buildings that are almost all wooden structures. When those dry wooden houses encounter even a little bit of Mars, they will quickly ignite.
In addition, the cannons lined up at the door also began to roar. Although the projectiles fired were solid elixirs and would not explode, the power of the cannons was enough to smash the handsome door of the Wuhu Gang to pieces in an instant. Broken wood chips flew everywhere, and many disciples of the Wuhu Gang immediately suffered heavy casualties.
But the soldiers did not rush into the inside immediately, but continued to rush into the inside. Not long after, the entire Five Lakes Gang seemed to have turned into a burning stove.
You should know that this place was originally on the edge of Taihu Lake. There were winds on the lake surface for many years. Now when the strong wind blows, the fire uses the wind and burns even more rapidly.
Yu Dayou also felt that it was almost done, so he waved the big knife in his hand and shouted: "Kill!"
The initial performance was archers, and the swords and axes were unable to hold on. The soldiers immediately waved their weapons and began to rush towards the head of the Wuhu Gang as they wielded their weapons.
They had been dealing with Japanese pirates for a long time and knew very well how to fight the enemy. In fact, Zhao Yuan's black armored army's combat method of more than 200 people had been adopted by some generals. They did not rush forward in a mess, but rushed into the door and began to quickly gather together and began to advance inside in small teams.
At this moment, the anger in their hearts was like the houses of the Wuhu Gang that were burning, and they could burn everything to ashes.
In addition to these soldiers, there were many Jinyiwei. The whole thing was that they had thoroughly investigated from front to back, but today, other places also needed a large number of people, and they had serious shortages of manpower, so they mobilized people from Hu Zongxian and gave Hu Zongxian a gift in vain.
It was just his own contribution that the Jinyiwei must not come, so he mobilized a lot of people. When Yu Dayou launched the attack, they also started the attack.
At this moment, Chen Zhi and others rushed out, looking at the hell-like scene below, they were stunned.
