"Grandma, a bear, go up, hit the bricks, and smash that kid back." Zhu Honglan saw that it was his nephew who fell under Du Zicheng's knife, his eyes were red, and he commanded his boxers to go up together, some of them picked up bricks and stones, and threw them at the window like raindrops. Du Zicheng hid behind the counter and shot the first five boxers who rushed in, but he couldn't stop more and more boxers, and after narrowly avoiding an axe, he used the butt of a shotgun to stun a guy with a red cloth wrapped in his head. Du Zicheng was already physically exhausted, but fortunately, the two insurance group members who had seen the situation had already gone upstairs, and the addition of two shotguns barely withstood the impact of the other party.

Zhu Honglan saw that the boxers at the north gate seemed to be retreating, and immediately ignored the brothers who rushed into the window on the second floor, and quickly explained to his subordinates and ran towards the crowd that broke up at the north gate, with a distance of more than 34 meters on both sides. The brothers were injured a lot by the things thrown upstairs, and just now they also pried open the doors of the two first-floor shops, but in addition to moving out some cotton cloth, pu fans, iron pots and other goods, after looking inside, there is a store that has a door to open the inside, but it is blocked from the inside, and it cannot be opened at all. When Zhu Honglan grabbed a chiping boxer leader and asked about the situation, he found that the situation was similar to that of the East Gate, and he just wanted to mobilize everyone to find a ladder to attack the second floor directly, and suddenly found a problem. "What about Old Chen, isn't he directing you all the way?" Zhu Honglan searched for a long time and didn't see the shadow of Chen Dadao's head, so he hurriedly asked the little leader. "I haven't seen it, it's been a long time, there was smoke and fire on the west gate just now, Chen Tou saw it, I'm afraid the west gate was opened, he said that he was looking for Li Changshui and they totaled, and then he went to the west gate, and he never came back, and there were no brothers at the west gate to greet him." As soon as he heard the vermilion lantern, he understood that Lao Chen, who dared to love him, had already found that this Grand View Garden was a hard bone, and he couldn't gnaw it down, and if he couldn't prepare for a long time, he would let the government make dumplings and slip away first. In fact, Zhu Honglan asked himself if he changed places, I am afraid that he would have to consider retreating if he did not capture it for so long, but he quietly left his brother and slipped away, and it was not a personal matter to use his brother as a second fool to fill the knife edge of the official mansion. Zhu Honglan knew that now was not the time to pursue it, after all, he was a person who did great things, and in an instant, Zhu Honglan made up his mind, pulled the placket on his chest, jumped onto a dirt platform on the side of the road, and shouted, "Brothers, stop me, I am Zhu Honglan." "Lao Zhu's voice is quite like the momentum of Zhang Sanye drinking Dangyang Bridge back then, and the chaotic retreating crowd stood still for a while, most of the people knew this Zhu Da Leader, and they had no idea in the chaos, and the red light jumped out and suddenly became the backbone of everyone." Brothers, we can't do anything, but we can't run for two days and one night in vain, and take the lives of so many brothers. Everyone listened to my orders, let's not care about the courtyard, everyone went separately to pry open the storefront outside the first floor, try to find valuable light moves, and set fire to the thief shop when it was moved. I can say ugly things to the front, if anyone can't move and run slowly, let the government or dogs grab them, but they will lose their heads. Let's move, let's go. "As soon as I heard that there was no need to attack the compound, only need to pry the door to grab money and grab things, suddenly all the bandits were like beating chicken blood, a gang of ten or eight surrounded the door of the shop on the first floor, a burst of knives and axes, rushed in to grab what it was, carried it and ran, there were also shopkeepers hiding in the room, the bandits found or the master who gave up his life and money and the bandits who entered the house fought, and the bandits were killed and maimed by more than a dozen, the bandits were addicted to robbery, and before leaving, they remembered the instructions of the vermilion lantern, and threw the good cloth paper on the fire to the store. Without looking back, he carried his things and ran towards the west gate and the north gate like a big set. Soon, the instructions of the vermilion lantern also reached the east gate, and the large group of bandits did not climb up and down, and pry the door to grab things, and some dead brothers and relatives simply moved out of the small restaurant on the first floor with large barrels of soybean oil, wrapped in cloth and sticks dipped in soybean oil to make temporary torches, and when they saw things that could be lit, they took torches to light them, and finally threw the torches through the windows on the second floor. For a while, the sullenness of the siege was vented on the robbery and arson, and the villagers who were honestly handed over to the landlords and tax collectors who were bullied by the landlords and tax collectors on weekdays did not dare to raise their heads at this time, and saw that the people in the city had such exquisite and rich goods, and they had never even dreamed of seeing so many goods, and the desire for destruction and animal nature in their bones were completely released. Maybe the desperate siege will make them push, but everyone scrambles to grab things and burn houses, and they don't let them go, and for a time the east and north of the Grand View Garden are full of people, and fireworks are everywhere.

Du Zicheng and the two regiments finally repelled the charge of the bandits, the three of them had already hung up the color, Du Zicheng's left arm was hung by an axe, and the left wrist of one regiment was smashed with a stick, and he had to use his broken left hand to carry a shotgun with his forearm to fire, and the other regiment was stabbed in the thigh by a clay Emei thorn, so he could only lean on the railing and shoot. After the three of them worked together to knock down a sturdy bandit, they hurriedly loaded the gun, but when everyone loaded the bullets and didn't see any bandits coming out of the store, Du Zicheng asked the two to wait in place, he quietly went up to the third floor, went to Wang Guangzu's shop, opened the window and looked down, only to find that the original boxers had given up attacking the compound, and instead robbed the shop on the first floor, and set fire to the shop, it seemed that he planned to burn the jade. Du Zicheng had no idea for a while, so he had to hurry back to the tower and use a loudspeaker to call the shopkeeper to quickly catch water from the artesian well and water pipe in the yard to extinguish the fire and stop the fire from spreading. The members of the insurance regiment continued to be on guard, and the fire brigade sprayed water everywhere in the courtyard to extinguish the fire to prevent the fire from entering the inner courtyard. Putting down the microphone, Du Zicheng comforted Miss Wang, who was silently trapping herself with a wound, although Miss Wang's face was still sallow, but she gritted her teeth and insisted on following Du Zicheng's side, and only after the bandaging was completed did she sit on the floor and sobbed. Du Zicheng took the telescope to observe around, and shouted a few words with a microphone from time to time, dispatching everyone in the Grand View Garden to put out the fire. At this time, a somewhat dull gunfire from the west attracted his attention, and sure enough, in less than five minutes, a neat line, wearing iron gray uniforms, carrying Manlixia rifles on their shoulders, entered the commercial port from the west gate of the polder wall, and ran along the street towards the Grand View Garden, a total distance of less than two miles, it was estimated that it would take ten minutes to arrive, and Du Zicheng was able to breathe a sigh of relief this time. Holding the binoculars and observing carefully, it turned out that the leader of the team was a bear-like guy, not his deputy He Dazhuang and who else, no, there were two squads in the left detachment in the Grand View Garden, and the remaining six squads were less than a hundred people at the top of the sky, but this team obviously had one hundred and fifty or sixty people. The team of the insurance regiment and the boxers who robbed things and fled for their lives took a look, and when there were fewer people encountered, He Dazhuang and a few squad leaders greeted them with shell guns and rifles, and when there were more people, they called a squad to stop, and the rows of guns were knocked down, and then the squad behind poked them one by one with bayonets, and no one looked at the silver goods scattered on the ground, and the squad that had finished their work lined up at the end of the line and continued to move forward.

Seeing that he had arrived at the north square of the Grand View Garden, He Dazhuang had long been anxious when he saw the smoke billowing in the direction of the Grand View Garden, but he had run thirty miles from Ping'an Town, and the soldiers had just fought a battle, and the soldiers were already sleepy and tired, and they couldn't raise their speed. Suddenly, from the north side of the square, there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves, and the ground could be felt to shake slightly. He Dazhuang's face changed, this is the movement of the cavalry of the brigade, could it be that the boxers set a trap and took the Daguanyuan to hang themselves on the bait, the purpose is to encircle the point to send reinforcements and eat the main force of the insurance regiment? Although He Dazhuang muttered in his heart, he did not hesitate to move, raised his hand and stood still, his hands were flat and shoulder-swaying, odd left and even right, the veterans of the insurance regiment were familiar with the routine of changing formations between marches, and soon stood in four horizontal formations at the intersection, the first two rows squatted and stood in the direction of the sound of horses' hooves, and the last two rows put bayonets on them, raised their rifles obliquely, and waited for the first two rows * to shoot flat rifles. Is it a boxer? If the boxers are bold enough to equip a large group of cavalry, then I am afraid it will be another Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It was Zhang Xun's new army horse team that came, but there were only one hundred and fifty horsemen, and some of the other cavalry were put on guard at the governor's yamen. However, as soon as he saw the insurance regiment at the west entrance of the square, he was still startled by Zhang Xun, but he didn't expect that in less than a minute, the insurance regiment that was obviously on the march just now actually changed its formation in the middle of the march, and in an instant it changed from a four-way marching column to a four-stage strike horizontal formation suitable for dealing with the horse team. The insurance regiment is enough to fire three or four shots, and it is difficult to say whether anyone will be able to get within ten paces of this horizontal formation by then.

He Dazhuang has seen Zhang Xun, he knows that his status is low, he hurriedly raised his fist and ran to Zhang Xun's horse quickly, and a standing salute "Report to General Zhang, He Dazhuang, the acting deputy head of the left detachment of the lowly insurance regiment reports to you, the insurance group received a call for help from the Chamber of Commerce, and the lowly is leading the team into the commercial port area to clean up the bandits and maintain law and order, the report is complete, please instruct the general." ”

Zhang Xun nodded, this kid is five big and three coarse, and his heart is as careful as hair, and he explained the ins and outs of the insurance group clearly, the insurance group is the team of the Chamber of Commerce, the food and clothing parents are besieged by bandits, and it is natural for the insurance group to send troops to suppress bandits, and it is not a violation of the unwritten rule that the militia does not enter the provincial capital. In this case, in any way, it is considered too late, and it is even more difficult to blame the Chamber of Commerce for not looking for the governor's yamen and privately transferring troops to quell the chaos. "You kid is He Dazhuang, what a man. Since you are also here to suppress the bandits, then go to the Grand View Garden to help extinguish the fire and suppress the bandits, protect the safety of the Chamber of Commerce, and hand over the other bandits to the general's subordinates. ”

"Yes, General. Obey under orders. Of course, He Dazhuang understood that Zhang Xun wanted his cavalry to cut off more heads to receive merit, and by the way, he would definitely seize some of the thieves on the bandits and fill the private pockets of the military masters, but He Dazhuang was concerned about the safety of Du Zicheng Du Boss and the current situation of the Chamber of Commerce in Daguanyuan, so he happily accepted Zhang Xun's instructions. One stood up and saluted, turned around and raised his fist and chest, trotted to his team, and after a few words, Zhang Xun saw a column of insurance regiments running and lining up, and in a blink of an eye, they ran in a row in the direction of Daguanyuan. "No wonder Old Ghost Duan praised the sticks of the insurance regiment, it is worthy of being a militia regiment trained by our Wuwei Right Army, which is a bit elite."

"I don't know if Boss Duan's own team can be as capable as the insurance group, if the biological one is not as good as the adopted one, then it's, ah, hahaha."

"Crop guy, I prefer small, nothing strange, hahaha." Zhang Xun and Duan Qirui have always been at odds with each other, and their subordinates also know that making fun of Lao Duan is the only way to make Zhang Xun and Boss Zhang happy.
