Light Dance Jiajing

After preparing for many days, one day, Ajin waved his hand and the first team rushed out of the valley, followed by the two teams in an orderly manner. Ajin's battle plan was very simple, to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, to catch the enemy by surprise, to take advantage of the fact that the construction of the imperial project had just started and the long front line to catch them off guard. Night attacks were not easy, as visibility was low at night, and the soldiers could not see the flag signals as clearly as during the day. In order to practice their tacit cooperation, Ajin organized a whole month of night exercises, and now they can skillfully identify the markings on their own people.

The first team had more than 300 people, who were the decoy troops deployed by Ajin. In the dark night, this team reached the first checkpoint at a rapid speed. There were only a few hundred soldiers stationed in Guanxiang City at this time. Most of these people were temporary laborers recruited to build the fortress. No one expected that the Miao people would suddenly riot. When the soldiers guarding the city woke up, they saw some Miao people climbing up the city wall with ropes. The Miao people occupied the small city overnight. After the capture, they immediately collected the food in the city and drove most of the residents out of the city. Then they locked the four gates and cut off contact with the outside world, as if they were going to defend the city. The news soon reached the court, and the emperor issued an edict ordering Hunan, Guizhou and Sichuan to work together to quickly quell the banditry. The court did not take these Miao people seriously, and regarded them as a group of mob, and only ordered the nearby prefectures to dispatch troops to quell the rebellion.

Guanxiang was the only way for the Miao people to reach Xiangxi. When several generals met, they all thought that the Miao people were going to Xiangxi to reunite with their tribes and make plans again, so they immediately transferred troops to Xiangxi. However, they had just transferred troops when they heard the news that Guanmen was captured, followed by blockhouses and artillery batteries. By the time they realized what was going on, the Miao people had already moved several miles south. The Miao people in Guanxiang City had rested enough and broke through to flee to the southwest. Only then did the generals understand the intentions of the Miao people. It turned out that their destination was not Xiangxi, but Guizhou. It was too late to call back the troops that had been transferred to Xiangxi. The governor of Guizhou quickly ordered the prefectures and counties under him to recruit local militia to control the banditry within a certain range.

At this time, Ajin had led his men to capture the small town of Tunka. He had just entered the city with the Miao King when Pengyu and two women from the medical team chased after him. Pengyu saw Ajin and said angrily, "Hey, can you rest for two more days before continuing? Some of the wounded can't be moved. Also, two people are going to give birth in the next few days. It's all because of you tossing and turning day and night that they have aborted their babies. If you don't rest for two days, they will die."

A Jin raised his eyebrows and glanced at Peng Yu, saying, "No." Then he ignored her and turned away. Peng Yu was so angry that she was shaking, but she had no choice. Although her father was the Miao King, he listened to A Jin in everything, especially in terms of combat deployment. A Jin said to hurry up and no one dared to move. Peng Yu felt that she was displaced and miserable. She was exhausted every day and had to take care of the wounded and the elderly, weak, women and children. Everyone was so busy that no one cared about her, a little princess. She had never suffered such hardship before. She vented all her resentment on A Jin. She would find trouble with A Jin wherever she went, but A Jin was too lazy to pay attention to her. Peng Yu felt angry and hateful.

The troops entered the city, and just like before, they began to collect food every time they captured a place. However, they searched everywhere and found that most of the people had fled. There was no food left in every household, and even the county government could not find any food. After two days of tossing and turning, the Miao King could not sit still. An army of nearly 20,000 people could not hold out for a moment without food. Ah Jin sneered and said, "Bring those defeated heads up, this matter will still fall on them."

The county magistrate had died in the battle. The county magistrate was an old man who was half deaf. He was tied up with a captain. The captain had been beaten to a bloody pulp. The old county magistrate was not whipped much because they were afraid that he would die if he was whipped a few times. Ah Jin said coldly, "I have plenty of ways to make you live a life worse than death. If you tell me where the food is hidden, it's fine. If you don't, hehe, you can't blame me."

The captain was tough enough. He spat and closed his eyes again. Ajin reached out and picked up the red-hot iron pestle from the charcoal brazier, and without blinking, thrust it into the captain's thigh. The scream was like from hell, and everyone inside and outside the county government office got goose bumps. Peng Yu saw this scene. First, his head tightened, and then his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. Then Ajin picked up a knife again, and his voice was low and bloodthirsty: "I haven't skinned a person alive for a long time. I want to practice today. After I skin him, it's your turn." Ajin turned his head and glanced at the old county magistrate, then walked towards the captain step by step. The moment he made his move, Peng Yu could no longer hold on, and fell to the ground and fainted with a bang.

It was already noon the next day when Peng Yu woke up. She seemed like a different person. When she heard that the food had been found, the old county magistrate was so scared that he confessed everything without waiting for Ajin to skin him. The food was transported to the nearby mountains and hidden. The government troops had calculated that the 20,000 men would leave quickly to look for the next target if they could not grab supplies. Not wanting to run into a killing god like Ajin, Peng Yu no longer cared about these things. She just stared at the roof all day, and the devilish shadow of Ajin was still lingering in her mind.

Unexpectedly, such a small county has a lot of stored grain, much more than the previous towns. No wonder they have to hide it. However, the distribution and transportation of grain was delayed for some time. When the large army was ready to set out, bad news came. An advance team led by Duqiao Dongzhu was blocked by the government troops. This time the battle was tragic. Duqiao Dongzhu only escaped with less than one-third of his people. Ajin frowned. He didn't expect the court to mobilize the army so quickly. Could it be that the garrison on the Yunnan-Guizhou front was stepped up in such a short period of time? Then their next target, Xunbao, might not be reachable. The Miao King also had a solemn expression. They had caught the court off guard by attacking cities and strongholds along the way, and they had not been defeated yet. However, in terms of strength, they were no match for the court. When the news spread, some people began to retreat. Several cave masters also had the idea of ​​hiding back in their old nests. Ajin looked at these cowards coldly. Humph, will they be safe if they escape back now? The court is so short-sighted that it can't settle accounts. The Miao King was annoyed when he heard them quarreling. He looked at A Jin and said, "Sir, should we advance or retreat now?"
