Volume 1: When the Wind Rises Chapter 171: Raid on the Manor (4)
"Withdraw, quickly withdraw, quickly, quickly", Zheng Jingcai and Shao Derong kept beckoning their troops to retreat from the gate of Zhuangzi.
The men of the second and third songs were alert, and quickly retreated in an orderly manner, and when the gate was almost empty, the musketeers of the first song immediately stepped forward, stood in three rows, and began to shoot at the inside of the courtyard gate.
"Bang", "Bang", "Bang"
There were also four or five hundred people who could move the Yuan Sect, all of whom were gathered in such a small courtyard, and when the gunshots rang out, only the crowds on both sides could run away, and those standing in the middle could only be beaten alive.
The first round of this round is equivalent to fixed target shooting, and more than 80 people fired three rounds of salvos, directly reimbursing more than 50 people on Zhou Chen's side, plus the number of people killed in battle and bombs at the door, the original team of about 600 people suddenly shrank to more than 400 people.
"Run", I don't know who pulled such a voice, and the rest of the Yuan Collectors were like frightened birds, all running towards the corridor behind the courtyard with panicked faces.
Zhou Chen stood behind the crowd to command the battle, but he was so dead that he was scratched on the leg by the fragments flying from nowhere, and when he saw the sect members disperse, he still wanted to put people away again, but no one paid attention to him after shouting a few times.
"Deputy hall master, let's go, we can't win", several of Zhou Chen's cronies picked him up and ran back when they saw this, and the crowd seemed even more chaotic, and the few people who were still watching also ran up.
"Hurry up and catch up", Liu Ximing saw that the situation was very good, and immediately ordered all the people to pursue, as for the wounded of the Longxiang regiment, they had to leave a team to take care of them first, and hide them all by the way.
Several of the people who fled were caught by the Long Xiang group in a panic, and Liu Ximing grabbed one of them and interrogated them while letting people push them forward: "Who was the person who commanded just now?" ”
"Yes, it's our deputy hall master Zhou Chen", the person who was asked by Liu Ximing was probably frightened, Li Biao only took out a knife and gestured, and he immediately confessed Zhou Chen.
Liu Ximing was overjoyed when he heard this, this is a fucking big fish, "Where did he run away, do you know?" ”
"Know, know, over there", seeing that the captive pointed in one direction, Liu Ximing ignored the others, and yelled at the Long Xiang group: "Chase me this way, catch their deputy hall master." ”
Several of Zhou Chen's cronies kept running forward against him, who knew that the pursuers behind the butt seemed to recognize them, and the others didn't catch them, just cared about them and chased them wildly.
Liu Ximing saw that the people in front of him were resisting a big man in brocade, and knew that the captive did not lie to him, this person should be Zhou Chen.
"Stop, Lao Tzu is going to shoot", but these people still refused to stop, Liu Ximing had no choice but to signal Shao Derong to shoot a warning.
"Bang"
A few sparks flashed not far from the feet of Zhou Chen and the others, Zhou Chen sighed and patted his cronies: "You don't have to run, you can't run."
The people who followed Zhou Chen were full of despair, and at this time, the people of the Long Xiang Regiment also quickly surrounded them, and several people had to put Zhou Chen on the ground, throw away their weapons and kneel on the ground.
"You are Zhou Chen?" , Li Biao took the lead and kicked the weapon on the ground away with both feet, and then Liu Ximing walked over and asked Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen looked at the group of people surrounding him with a miserable face, and saw that they were all dressed in official and military standard armor, knowing that it was indeed an official army, his face suddenly became even more ugly, and he nodded silently.
Seeing Zhou Chen nodding in confirmation, Liu Ximing suddenly burst out laughing, "Your hall master and tonight's guests, take us over quickly." ”
"You guys, even know this", Zhou Chen was shocked, it is confidential that there is a distinguished guest visiting tonight, and there will be no more than ten people in the entire Zhuangzi who know, and this group of officials and soldiers is too powerful.
Liu Ximing smiled mysteriously, didn't explain much, and motioned to several of Zhou Chen's cronies to continue to carry Zhou Chen forward.
With the collapse of Zhou Chen's troops, there were only a few places in Zhuangzi where people dared to resist, and Long Xiang's group was like entering a no-man's land, rampaging in Zhuangzi.
"No, not in this direction", when he walked halfway, Liu Ximing suddenly became alert, although he didn't know the road, but the direction that Zhou Chen took them was obviously not towards the center of Zhuangzi.
Li Biao saw Liu Ximing looking at Zhou Chen with a fierce face, and immediately stepped forward to put the knife on Zhou Chen's neck, and yelled at him: "Bastard, you dare to cheat." ”
The cronie who was carrying Zhou Chen wanted to snatch the long knife in Li Biao's hand with his backhand, but Wei Jingguo, who was standing next to him, didn't say a word, and stabbed the knife in his hand into the back of this person with a "poof".
The other soldiers of the Longxiang Regiment who surrounded Zhou Chen and the others also reacted, pulled out their knives with a "poof", and slashed all the remaining few Yuan Collectors who wanted to resist.
"No", Zhou Chen saw several of his cronies fall in a pool of blood in a blink of an eye, and shouted at Liu Ximing with red eyes: "You are ...... to rest"
"Smack", before Zhou Chen finished speaking, a fist hit his left cheek hard, spitting blood from his mouth.
Liu Ximing shook his right hand vigorously, damn it, this punch made him hurt.
"Lao Tzu doesn't have so much effort to talk to you a few nonsense, take a wrong step, Lao Tzu will cut you, and then see if you can bear it, or Lao Tzu's knife is fast."
Liu Ximing squatted down, looked at Zhou Chen with dead eyes, and said what he just said meaningfully, combined with his indifferent expression and cold and icy tone, Zhou Chen was so frightened that he took back the words that were about to be scolded.
"You have to think clearly", Liu Ximing raised the corners of his mouth and stood up, "The people in this Zhuangzi are all dead, whether to die with them, or to save their lives and live a good life, this decision is now in your hands."
Zhou Chen fell silent for a moment, and after a few minutes, he raised his right hand with his head lowered and pointed in the direction.
"Go this way," he whispered.
Liu Ximing nodded with satisfaction, shook off his stride and walked in that direction with Long Xiang Tuan, and at the same time his voice floated from the front: "Li Biao, carry him, if you are wrong, do what I just said." ”
"Whoa"
Zhou Chen was already frightened by Liu Ximing's methods, and seeing Li Biao looking at him from the sidelines, how could he dare to show the way indiscriminately.
Under his guidance, Liu Ximing and the others turned left and right through several courtyards, and finally arrived at the main courtyard in the middle of Zhuangzi.
However, except for the sporadic shouts of killing in Zhuangzi, the main courtyard was quiet at this time, and the soldiers of the Longxiang Regiment cautiously pushed the door in, and found that there was not even a human hair inside.
"Second brother", Shao Derong followed his subordinates to search the yard inside and out, and ran back a little anxiously.
"Hahaha, I'm in a hurry, there's a brocade guard at the back door, and it's up to them to catch it or not."
Liu Ximing was not surprised by this, he had hundreds of soldiers coming in for so long, and he would have run away a long time ago.
As for this side......
Liu Ximing turned his head to look at Zhou Chen, with a smile on his face like a flower, "Say, where are the goods you looted and the weapons you bought."

Li Feng and the four men in black had indeed left a long time ago, and after getting the news that the Long Xiang Regiment had entered Zhuangzi, Li Feng on the one hand sent someone to inform Zhou Chen to go up and resist it, and on the other hand, he gathered about 500 people from his henchmen and the guards brought by the men in black.
The group waited until there was no more noise outside the yard before quietly extinguishing the torches and walking down the path towards the back door.
"There is really something wrong with the back door", and not far from the courtyard, Mr. Yang reminded everyone vigilantly, and the man in black who was with her immediately pulled out the knife and held it in his hand.
"The shouting and killing at the front gate continues, but the back door is silent, these people are trying to wipe us out," Mr. Wang said with a sigh.
The sweat on the brains of these people came down all of a sudden, although everyone had already prepared for the day of licking blood from the knife edge, but everyone wanted to lick other people's blood, but they didn't expect that one day they and others would also be wrapped.
Seeing the frightened looks on the faces of many people in the Yuan Sect, the eyes that looked at them immediately became disdainful, making Li Feng feel that his face was dull.
"Slap", "Slap", Li Feng raised his hand and slapped his subordinates twice, and roared angrily: "Fucking cheer up Lao Tzu, I don't believe that they can silently transfer thousands of soldiers and horses over, so many of us are still afraid that we can't rush out." ”
Mr. Wang also cheered everyone up and said: "What Hall Master Li said makes sense, if the officers and soldiers were really outnumbered, they would have come in from all directions, where are they still used to ambush at the back door, and now this situation can only show that there are not many of them." ”
When the people of the Yuan Sect heard what he said, they immediately felt that what they said was reasonable, and one or two of them had some confidence.
Seeing this, Li Feng immediately arranged for two incense lords to take the lead, and ordered them to open the back door and directly lead people to rush out, and first disrupt the formation of the ambushers.
