Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 211 Hey, how come a civilian like you got on a horse and killed the enemy?

Sure enough, after such a big event happened, rumors spread among the people.

What Xixia army is about to reach Bianjing, everyone better run away immediately;
What? The Liao Kingdom's hundreds of thousands of troops were also preparing to march south, and the Song Dynasty was about to be destroyed;

There were also rumors that the emperor died on hearing the news, that treacherous officials in the court had usurped the throne, etc...

People were panicked for a while.

Under such circumstances, there will naturally be people who take advantage of the situation.

Su Yun soon heard that merchants were being robbed in the East City, and the yamen runners hurried over. Subsequently, a number of incidents of burning, killing and looting also occurred in the West City, causing even greater unrest.

Even the yamen runners did not dare to step forward. After Su Yun heard about it, he immediately took people to West City. His eyes turned red when he saw it. There were many shops in West City, and many shop doors were smashed open. There were many people lying on the streets who were beaten and did not know whether they were alive or dead. The thugs were still smashing and looting everywhere, and even setting fires everywhere.

Hundreds of thugs were rampaging in the streets, with yamen runners lurking nearby, but no one dared to move forward.

Deng Qi followed Su Yun and was also frightened when he saw this. He said, "Jianzhou, let's go quickly and tell the imperial guards that there are so many thugs that they can only be suppressed if the imperial guards come."

Su Yun looked at the dozens of yamen runners around him, and then said, "Didn't a group of yamen runners come before? Gather them here."

Deng Qi quickly called for someone to go and fetch people, and soon the yamen runners came over. Su Yun was not idle either, and rode his horse to another street. He took a quick glance and saw an egg-filled pancake stall. He immediately rode over and shouted, "Go and call Ah Hu and Ah Hui to gather the people and horses and go to Tonglu Street. Tell them that Su Yun is under siege here!"

When the two people at the egg pancake stall heard Su Yun's name, they were immediately shocked and said, "The boss is under siege? Please protect the boss, we will go find someone immediately!"

With that, the two of them ran away.

Su Yun rode his horse back to Tonglu Street and saw that Deng Qi had already gathered hundreds of yamen runners, all of whom were armed with spears and bows and arrows.

Su Yun snatched a spear from someone, then a bow and arrow, and then said to Deng Qi: "Line up immediately, these are just a mob, first send a few rounds of arrow rain, then we charge a few more times, and they will collapse directly!"

Deng Qi looked at the hideous-looking thugs from afar, and felt a chill in his heart. However, seeing Su Yun's resolute expression, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Line up, line up, the spearmen line up in front, those with bows and arrows go back and find a good position to shoot arrows, using the projectile method. When I give the order, you all have to shoot together, and fire three rounds first. The spearmen in front will... follow me and charge!"

Deng Qi also took the risk.

Su Yun was riding on his horse, watching the yamen runners in a panic, with even the queue being crooked. Everyone looked very panicked, and he couldn't help but shook his head.

They lined up here, and the thugs on Tonglu Street saw them. Someone shouted, "They are the dog officials from the Kaifeng government office. They are all useless. Come on, follow me and disperse them in one go."

Suddenly hundreds of thugs gathered together. Su Yun's pupils shrank when he saw this: Those who have such cohesion are not ordinary thugs who take advantage of the fire to rob, they are premeditated bandits!
Su Yun pulled out a knife from the waist of the yamen runner beside him and asked sternly, "Are your bows and arrows ready?"

Deng Qi was sweating profusely and said, "It's almost done!"

Su Yun looked back and saw the yamen runners were in a hurry, drawing arrows and putting them on bows. It was estimated that they had not had much training and their movements were extremely unfamiliar.

Su Yun estimated the distance and shouted, "Don't worry, look at the direction my knife is pointing. Do you see the sign of the Tang Family Hotel in front? It's about eighty steps away. When I give the order, shoot the first round. Get ready!"

Su Yun stared closely at the gang of criminals approaching quickly. When they arrived at the Tang Family Hotel, Su Yun shouted, "Shoot!"

There were only fifty or sixty archers. At the command, fifty or sixty crooked arrows were shot out. However, some of them fell to the ground after only thirty or forty steps, and some were not aimed at all and directly hit the people lying on the street next to them. The wounded were so scared that they stood up and hid.

Su Yun: “…”

Only twenty or thirty arrows were shot at the group of bandits, and more than ten arrows missed the target. However, there were also a dozen arrows that hit the bandits. Immediately, more than a dozen people fell to the ground and wailed. The offensive of the bandits suddenly stagnated!
The leading gangster shouted, "These dog officers are terrible archers. Don't be afraid. There are hundreds of us. If we get close, they will be dead!"

Su Yun said in a deep voice: "Very good, prepare for the second round, target, Zhang Laoer's flower shop in front, get ready!"

As they were talking, hundreds of bandits ran twenty or thirty steps and were already within fifty steps. The bailiffs could even see the bandits' faces and eyebrows clearly.

Su Yun shouted, "Spearmen in front, retreat to the sides, shoot with bows and arrows!"

This round was obviously much better. The arrows shot by fifty or sixty people were more coordinated and flew towards the bandits. Only hissing sounds were heard, and dozens of bandits were shot and fell to the ground.

Suddenly, screams were heard everywhere.

At this point, the bandits were already losing their morale. Some were so scared that they ran back, some stopped and looked dazed, some ran forward and some ran backward, and suddenly they bumped into each other, and chaos broke out in an instant. The bandit leader in front shouted, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we can disperse in no time!"

Su Yun captured the location of the bandit leader, drew his bow and arrow, and with a "swish", the arrow flew out. The bandit leader was about to say something to encourage his companions when he felt a pain in his chest. He looked down and saw an arrow piercing his chest. He suddenly felt cold all over and fell headfirst.

Once the bandit leader died, the bandits became even more chaotic.

Su Yun knocked his feet against the horse's back and shouted loudly, "Follow me!"

The horses rushed out, and Su Yun took the lead and rushed into the group of bandits.

Deng Qi was horrified and shouted, "Follow me now! If the judge dies, none of you will survive!"

Upon hearing this, the yamen runners dared not delay and threw away their bows and arrows, picked up their spears and rushed forward after Deng got up.

Su Yun rode his horse to charge into the battle. When the bandits in front saw the official uniform on Su Yun, they gnashed their teeth and shouted, "Kill this bastard official!"

He roared and rushed towards Su Yun waving a knife. Su Yun was riding on a horse. He leaned forward slightly, and the long knife flashed by. Suddenly, a head flew up into the sky!

The bandits screamed when they saw this, but a few more rushed forward and tried to chop off Su Yun's horse's legs. Su Yun leaned left and right and swung his knife. The knife flashed like lightning, and two more heads flew into the sky.

Su Yun was riding on a horse. His sword was long and his arms were long. Anyone who approached would be beheaded by him first.

Su Yun was so brave and courageous that the bandits no longer dared to charge forward. After hearing a loud bang, they scattered and fled!

Su Yun waved a long sword and rushed behind, swinging the sword repeatedly, and several more heads fell.

Deng Qi and the yamen runners behind were all stunned. It seemed that their Su Tongpan had passed the imperial examination and won the first place in literature. Judging from his skills, he must have won the first place in martial arts, right?
Although they were surprised, they did not dare to be negligent and rushed forward in a group. They were not good at breaking through the enemy lines, but the bandits had been dispersed by Su Yun. They were the best at kicking the enemy when they were down, so they rushed forward with roars and stabbed the bandits to death with their spears.

At this time, there were more footsteps coming from behind, and someone shouted loudly: "President Su, we are here to help you kill the thief!"

Su Yun looked back and saw that it was Ah Hui, Ah Hu and the others. There were about dozens of people there. It was estimated that they could only call these many people at once.

These dozens of people were holding all kinds of things in their hands, but most of them were rolling pins and spatulas for scooping egg-filled pancakes. They were not very powerful, but they were easy to use.

The bandits had been frightened by Su Yun's killing, so they dared not stay any longer and fled one after another. Su Yun chased and killed them for a while, killing them until they were covered in blood. Then he ordered the yamen runners to start to finish them off.

The captured bandits were tied up and sent to the government office, and the injured on their side were quickly sent to the clinic, and some of the civilians who were beaten to death or injured were also gathered up.

Just when it was about to end, there was a lot of horse hoof sounds, it was the imperial guards coming.

The leader of the imperial guards saw a green-robed official riding a horse, holding a long sword, covered in blood, especially on his extremely handsome face, which was also stained with blood. Not only did it not damage his appearance, it even gave him a look of wise and bravery.

Whose general is this... No, this is clearly the uniform of a civil servant!
The commander of the imperial guards looked at Su Yun's appearance and suddenly remembered someone. His eyes lit up and he asked loudly, "Is he the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, a Song man, Jiangyou Su Lang?"

Su Yun: “…”

This name is neither fish nor fowl.

Su Yun bowed to the commander of the imperial guards and said, "I am Su Yun. May I ask who you are?"

The commander of the imperial guards said happily, "It is Su Lang indeed. You are not your subordinate. I am your subordinate. I am Xu Jin, the chief officer of the Imperial Guards' Infantry Division!"

Su Yun frowned slightly, thinking that you are really confused. Du Yuhou is a fifth-rank military officer, so how can he call himself a subordinate? However, it is not appropriate to say more in this situation. Su Yun is still anxious to return to the government office to see if there is anything else that needs to be suppressed in the surrounding area, so he said to Xu Jin: "I have heard of you for a long time. Do you want to take over here, or should we continue to deal with it?"

How could Xu Jin compete with Su Yun, a popular figure in front of the government? He quickly said, "You continue to handle it. I have to go somewhere else. I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, Xu Jin pulled his horse and led the imperial guards away. But before they had gone far, Xu Jin sent someone to say, "Go to the Southern Court and ask someone if Su Tongpan led the court runners to kill the bandits today. We need to get more details."

As expected, the man ran to the South Yamen and asked someone he knew about the incident. The acquaintance found a yamen runner who had witnessed the incident and asked the runner to tell the person sent by Xu Jin about it in detail.

This person went back to find Xu Jin and told him in detail about Su Yun leading the charge today. Xu Jin was stunned and asked, "Did he really charge into a group of hundreds of bandits on horseback and behead more than a dozen people?"
