Chapter 224: Capturing Zhou Ran Alive
Hou Ye, the ten brothers of the third battalion were attacked in Huangni Lane, and the whole army was wiped out. The herald hurried to speak.
"Check it out." Li Chen's face was a little gloomy.
"Master Hou, you can't go, it's dangerous in the alley."
Chen Ping frowned, since the Qin army entered the city, there were actually more casualties in street battles than in siege.
"I'm afraid this Pei County doesn't have a place to bury me." Li Chen dropped a sentence and walked straight towards Huangni Lane.
In the depths of the Yellow Muddy Alley, there are corpses lying on the ground, these are the brothers who have just been attacked. The scene was a mess, and it can be seen from the traces of the fight that there were not a few people involved in the attack.
"Who did it, did anyone catch it?" Li Chen asked in a gloomy tone.
The third battalion commander looked embarrassed and said: "The brothers nearby rushed over to this side when they heard the sound, and chased them all the way, there was a dead alley in front of them, and they couldn't get out at all, so they must have hid in a nearby house." ”
Although Pei County has been taken, there are still many rebels in the city. There are not a few Liu Bang's irons in this city, these people are the people when they take off their clothes, and they are rebels when they put on their clothes. In the process of attacking the city, the Qin army has tried to avoid disturbing the people, but the bad thing is that eighty percent of the people are involved in harboring the rebels. These people are like poisonous snakes that can't be fed, always thinking about biting Qin Jun.
"Knock knock."
"Old man, have you ever seen the rebels wandering."
Li Chen knocked on the door of a house on the side of the road, and saw that it was an elderly man who opened the door, and asked in a gentle tone.
"Rebels, no."
"Boom."
The old man responded, and immediately closed the door.
There is no trivial matter in the army, and the Qin army has only harmed any innocent people since they entered Pei County. But now kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and the death of these soldiers harbors the rebels.
"Master Hou, I guarantee that the rebels have not run out of this street, and I will definitely be able to find out." The commander of the third battalion shouted. The military discipline of the Shenwu Army was strict, and before entering the city, he gave an order not to disturb the people, so he did not dare to enter the people's homes casually without an order.
"No more searches." Li Chen said in a low tone.
"What?" The eyes of the third battalion commander were as wide as bull's eyes.
"Just bombard me." Li Chen said.
Now Li Chen is also angry, he can be considered to know why Great Qin had such strict laws in the past. These people don't know a single word, don't understand etiquette, don't reason, and only know that their relatives are far away and close to each other. If you don't beat them, they won't know what it means to obey the law.
"Okay." The commander of the third battalion immediately ran excitedly to find the artilleryman's brother to give orders. He hated the gang to death, this was the third time they had been attacked since they entered the city, but the casualties in the first two times were not as serious as this one.
Li Chen ordered, and more than ten tiger squat cannons were immediately pulled at the mouth of Huangni Lane, and the muzzles of the guns were facing Huangni Lane impartially.
"Dad, they're going to shoot, or I'll go out, and I'll be a burden on you."
In the courtyard where Li Chen knocked on the door just now, a person was stepping on a ladder and secretly looking at Qin Jun.
"Fart, you're a rebel, and if you go out, you're going to die."
"Lao Tzu is just a lone seedling, what should we do if you die. I guess it's scrightening, they don't dare to shoot. I just heard that the old man who had just opened the door for Li Chen was teaching a man in his thirties.
"Boom, boom, boom."
After a few cannon shots, a large number of houses collapsed. The artillery did not aim at all, it was purely an indiscriminate attack, and whoever hit it was purely unlucky. After a round of shelling, clouds of dust rose over Huangni Lane.
"Folks, I'm Fan Xu. Whoever kills the person, stand up yourself, don't bother your father and fellow villagers. The men of Pei County do things by themselves. If you get into trouble, you don't dare to stand up and be a man. ”
After the shelling, Fan Hao began to shout in person. He is from Pei County, and there are not a few people who know him here.
"Gentlemen, you are also our fellow countryman in Pei County. You tell Master Hou, let's promise not to block the way, they are all ignorant young people, how about letting them go. ”
As soon as Fan Xu's words fell, a trembling voice came from the yellow mud alley. The Qin army's sudden cannon fire startled them, and at this time the cannon was the truth.
"Time for a pillar of incense, second round of shelling."
Fan Xu looked at Li Chen, who said categorically.
"Fellow countrymen, soldiers can't die in vain. Whoever causes trouble, he bears it. Fan Xu continued to shout.
Seeing that Qin Jun was really anxious, some people were also really afraid, and people came out of Huangni Lane one after another.
Looking at the more than twenty young men in front of him, Li Chen knew that there must be someone who hadn't come out.
"Some people really toast and don't eat and drink." Li Chen sighed.
"The commander of the third battalion, lead people to search from house to house. Once discovered, the family is treated as harboring rebels. ”
Since someone has taken the initiative to come out, then you can't open fire, after all, you can't kill innocents indiscriminately. But for those who didn't come out with a fluke mentality, it's not that simple.
The commander of the third battalion was stunned when he heard this, and then shouted at his subordinates behind him: "The assembly of the three battalions will be searched by Lao Tzu door to door." ”
I don't know if I don't search, but I found that there are really not a few people who didn't go out, and half an hour later, the commander of the third battalion tied more than 200 people and knelt in the open space of Huangshi Lane. Of the more than 200 people, more than 50 young men participated in the attack on the soldiers, and the rest were harboring their family members.
"Kill."
The commander of the third battalion shouted, the butcher's knife of the third battalion fell, and more than 200 heads fell to the ground.
"Sweeping the past, where there is an attack, follow the pattern of Yellowstone Lane."
The dust settled on the side of Huangshi Lane, and Li Chen's order spread throughout the Shenwu Army camp.
Since the Qin army showed its determination in bombarding Huangni Lane, no people dared to help harbor the rebels, and Zhou Bo's subordinates were also running and scattering, and now he is gone.
The defeat in this battle was too sudden, from the death of Xiahou Ying, the death of Peng Yue, the riots in the city of Peng Yue's army, and the raid on the city gate by the Qin army. This series of combination punches completely blinded him, otherwise with his superior forces, he would not have been wiped out by the whole army.
Now there are only more than 100 personal soldiers around him at the weekend, escorting him towards Feng County. He seemed to have gotten used to it, and he had long since lost the shame he felt when he ran away for the first time.
"Run around, where to go."
Zhou Bo's heart was cold when he heard this voice, and he was frightened and slammed the war horse under his crotch.
"Hee Lyre."
The war horse stopped suddenly, and the hooves ploughed out four long marks on the ground before they could stop.
In front of him was no one else, it was Fan Hao riding a black bull.
Looking at the dense crowd of more than a thousand Qin troops behind Fan Xu, Zhou Bo knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to run today.
At this time, Zhou Bo pulled out the long sword at his waist and was about to wipe it towards his neck.
Fortunately, Fan Xu's eyes were quick, and he kicked Zhou Bo under the horse with one kick, and the long sword also fell to the ground. The moment Zhou Bo fell off his horse, he immediately went up and two soldiers tied him up.
"You can't die, Master Hou wants you to be of great use." Fan Hao glanced at Zhou Bo and said with a smile.
