311. Ambush
Renhua. Outside the county seat, the Qing army patrol battalion proudly surrounded the four city gates, not giving Zhong Erzhu a way to live, as if they had already won the victory.
"Haha, this group of bandits really doesn't know how to fight at all, there are only a few soldiers on the city wall, and I only need to bring thirty people to fight into the city."
"Of course, they were still peasants facing the loess the day before yesterday, just like our regular army."
"My lord, let's attack, we can have dinner in the county town."
Li Biaotong looked at his subordinates who couldn't bear it anymore and made up his mind: "Prepare to attack, and we will have a hot meal in the city in a quarter of an hour!" ”
"Yes, sir!" The officers who were in a hurry said loudly, and soon gave the order to attack the soldiers.
Zhong Erzhu, who was standing on the tower of the city gate, saw the patrol battalion attacking, and quickly went down to the street and hid in a nearby grain and oil store. There were five other people with him, all carefully selected relatives close to the blood, who were also his bodyguards.
Bang bang, he heard the sound of the city gate shattering, and the noise like waves reached his ears, all excited shouts "The city is broken!" ”。
Wait, you'll soon regret coming here! Zhong Erzhu said fiercely in his heart.
According to today's view, the destruction of the city represents defeat and the fate of destruction, but the soldiers of the patrol battalion who are rejoicing will soon find that things are not what they imagined.
The soldiers of the patrol battalion who rushed into the county found that the streets were empty without a single pedestrian, and all the doors of the shops were half-closed, as if they were waiting for the prey to be delivered.
"Why is there no one, where have the inhabitants of the city gone?"
"As for the bandits, I haven't even seen a shadow, so I guess they have sneaked away a long time ago."
"We were fooled, and the bandits must have seen that we were too strong to defend the county seat. And a few men were put on the wall to delay us. ”
Li Biaotong's ears were full of commotion from those officers who did not have the slightest military temperament talking about afterthought, which was of no use at all.
He was annoyed with these flies and yelled, "Shut up!" Our goal is to recover the county, and it doesn't matter if the bandits are gone, all the supplies in this city are ours! Tell your soldiers. They can get thirty percent of the capture, and they have to hand over the rest. ”
Hearing this, the eyes of all the officers lit up like hungry wolves, and they quickly issued the distribution plan to the soldiers. So the soldiers blocking the gate of the city were ecstatic and scattered into the streets and alleys of the county town one by one, searching for valuable things.
Bang! The half-hidden door of the grain and oil store was kicked open by the soldiers of the three patrol battalions, and before they could find copper and silver taels in the store, the attack beyond their imagination soon came.
Zhong Erzhu didn't do it himself, and the relatives and bodyguards around him threw it on the soldiers of the patrol battalion with one rot technique.
Ahh Two unlucky ghosts were hit by two spells. The lucky one didn't end well, and it took a long time to toss after being hit in the face before he completely choked.
After making sure that the three enemies were dead, he whispered, "Let's retreat to the back door, wait until the Qing army comes, cast a spell on them, and then move to the garment shop ten meters away." ”
After a while, several more soldiers of the patrol battalion entered the grain and oil store and found the bodies of their comrades, as well as the horrible death statue. One by one, they screamed: "What's going on here? ”
Zhong Erzhu's judgment was unsuccessful, and the Qing soldiers were scared away by the tragic corpses. There was no search at the back door.
He was in a hurry and said disdainfully: "Haha, these guys are only as bold as mice!" ”
"Yes, yes, these Qing troops are really vulnerable." Five of his bodyguards chimed in.
It was obviously no longer suitable to stay and carry out an attack, so Zhong Erzhu hurriedly took his bodyguards to change rooms. There he waited and killed seven more patrol battalion soldiers. The same thing is happening in not only him, but in many other houses.
From the sky, scattered patrol battalion soldiers walked into the room, or walked down the alley with loot, and then never came out again. It's like being eaten by bloodthirsty monsters. The patrol battalion of 3,000 people seemed to have fallen into the desert and been swallowed up by the parched earth.
At the beginning, Li Biaotong and the officers whose military talents were rotten were very satisfied when they saw the harvest sent by the soldiers piling up. Gradually, however, fewer and fewer soldiers came to the most spacious county street to exchange booty, and at last it was a long time before anyone came.
"What the hell, those guys dare to be so big and swallow all of us?"
"My lord, this can't go on, we have to find those rabbit cubs and make them honest."
Li Biaotong was also very angry, anyone who saw his share being embezzled would be like this: "Go, Lao Tzu will hang up all those guys who don't follow the rules!" ”
A group of people had just walked out of the county government street and turned into the commercial street, thinking that they could see a large number of patrol battalion soldiers busy searching for anything of value. But to their surprise, there was no one else except the corpse of the Qing army lying on the ground.
What the hell is going on, are the bandits still carrying out sneak attacks in the county town? Filled with doubts, they raised their rifles and cautiously approached the nearest corpse.
A tall, lanky officer kicked his foot and turned him over after making sure that his soldier was really dead with his head up. As a result, I saw a very terrifying scene, the skin and flesh of this person's face were black, and in some places Bai Sensen's cheekbones were exposed.
"The injury is so strange, like a corpse that has been left for a long time to decompose, but everything except the head is still intact." The officer crouched down and studied for dozens of seconds, feeling very surprised by the wounds of the deceased.
Li Biaotong hurriedly rushed up, looked at several other corpses, and found that they were all facial decomposers. He shuddered, took a deep breath and said quickly: "Let's go, let's leave the county seat immediately, we can't stay in it anymore!" ”
"My lord, we still have a lot of belongings piled up on the county government street, what should we do about those?" Several people said they wanted to go back and get some things.
Li Biaotong scolded and glared at them fiercely: "If you want to die, you guys will go, I want to go out." It's crazy, you don't want to die for money! Our soldiers have all been attacked by strange attacks, and they are still thinking about money! If you want to survive, you rush out of the county with me. ”
He didn't want to talk nonsense, and he wanted to rush outside the county immediately, but he was worried about being attacked by bandits, and he had to be outnumbered to have a sense of security.
After all, Li Biaotong has been a standard commander for several years, and he still has some prestige in the army, and when he gets angry, no one leaves the team, and they all withdraw towards the city gate. (To be continued.) )
