Chapter 71: Strangulation
Since the enemy is coming, then Yang Zhi is unyielding to protect the safety of the eldest brother, this guy summoned Li Li, Yan Shun, Tong Wei, Tong and others to arrange the task, hoping that the brothers will cheer up and not make any trouble.
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, in the third watch, more than a dozen 3,000 stone ships docked on 5,000 stone sea ships, Liang Lie and his son brought more than 2,000 sailors to carry gold, silver and jewelry, and at the same time piled up a lot of fire oil, sulfur and other flammable materials on the sea boat.
Liu Zhenglong and the others all got on the 3,000-stone ship, and now there are not many people on the 5,000-stone ship, just keep moving at a constant speed.
The two thousand dead soldiers privately cultivated by the Zhu family led by Zhu Kai quietly approached the 5,000-stone boat at night, this group of guys not only wanted to kill people and overhaul the goods, but also wanted to snatch the four beauties that Zhu Mian gave to Liu Zhenglong, but I don't know if it was for Zhu Kai's own enjoyment, or for Zhu Chong.
The silence on the ship was terrible, there was no one on the three sea ships this night, Zhu Kai realized that it was too late when he was fooled, more than a dozen 3,000 stone ships surrounded him, and constantly fired rockets at the sea ships, and the three 5,000 stone sea ships suddenly burst into flames.
What's even worse is that the bottom of the boat brought by Zhu Kai was chiseled through by water ghosts and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
This battle lasted for more than two hours, and finally three 5,000 stone sea ships quietly disappeared into the vast sea with Zhu Kai and 2,000 dead soldiers of the Zhu family.
Not far away, Li Jun on the three-thousand-stone boat used the clairglass given to him by Liu Zhenglong to see the raging fire on the sea, this guy knew that it was time to act on his own, what he had to do now was to plunder the huge wealth of the Zhu family, as for Zhu Mian's head, it was not his own consideration, that was Bao Xu, Mu Hong's task.
It turned out that Liu Zhenglong had already overheard the conversation between the Zhu family's father and son, and he began to prepare, he knew that the three million guan must be with the other seven million treasures, and when Zhu Kai took out the three million, he had already leaked the other seven million, and the next step was to snatch this wealth.
Zhu Mian has always been suspicious and has never trusted outsiders. The Zhu family raised 4,000 dead soldiers, 1,000 to protect the safety of the Zhu family, and the other 3,000 to guard the wealth. This time, in order to hunt Liu Zhenglong and recapture the three million, Zhu Kai took away 2,000 dead soldiers, so that only 1,000 dead soldiers were left guarding the wealth.
In the face of a thousand dead soldiers, Li Jun was not sure of victory, but it was still possible to use the naval tactics to attack, and with the cooperation of the Imperial City Division, the commander of the Xiang army made Xu Ning, the golden gunner, take three thousand Xiang troops to participate in the battle.
Seven million pieces of wealth were on five 5,000-stone ships anchored at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and of the 1,000 dead, 800 were on the shore, and only 200 guarded the wealth on the ships.
The task given to Xu Ning by the golden gun was to intercept the 800 dead soldiers on the shore, not to let them get close to the sea ship, and not to let them escape. If it is a one-on-one battle, the combat effectiveness of these dead soldiers will definitely exceed that of the box army, but if it is this kind of group battle, the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is almost negligible.
Among the 3,000 van troops, there were 1,000 crossbowmen, 1,000 shield knife and axe men, and 1,000 pikemen, who were desperately guarding the choke point, and did not take the initiative to attack at all, but only blocked the dead to prevent the dead from escaping.
The ship's trebuchet constantly hurled stones at the place where the dead had gathered, and this long-range attack was very shocking at night, especially when it constantly threw ignited oil canisters.
The place where the dead gathered turned into a sea of fire, and this group of guys could only desperately break through in order to protect themselves, but they were faced with an overwhelming array of arrows, and it was not easy to break through.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Xu Ning seconded five hundred long shields, which were connected like a moving Great Wall, to protect the Xiang army to the death, so that the Bow and Arrow Society could hide behind and shoot soldiers with impunity.
No poison is not a husband, Xu Ning is a person who is eager to make meritorious contributions, in order to be able to completely annihilate the dead, he even privately let the soldiers smear poison on the arrows, it can be said that the throat is sealed with blood, as long as he is shot, there is absolutely no possibility of survival.
No matter how dense the defense is, there will be a gap, and soon in the southeast corner, there is a very fierce dead soldier with dozens of subordinates finally broke through the encirclement, these guys are already covered with blood, one by one like ghosts crawling out of hell, each of them is full of a thick murderous aura.
Xu Ning received the order to annihilate completely, and there would definitely be no one left alive, since a dead man rushed out, the golden gun rushed to kill the golden gun in Xu Ning's active hand.
Seeing that the main general rushed over, more than a hundred of the archers soon changed the direction of the attack, using intensive archery to protect the safety of the main general.
The golden gun general Xu Ning is a rare amphibious general in the entire Water Margin, the golden gun in his hand can be opened from the middle into two short guns, and when fighting on the horse, he uses a long spear to kill the enemy and flee. But when it comes to foot combat, it becomes two short guns, and it is much stronger in attack and defense, similar tactics Xu Ning has long been handy, the short spear in this guy's hand flies up and down, and every move stabs at the vital parts of the dead man, as long as it hits, the battle will end on the spot.
In the face of dozens of dead soldiers, the golden gun general Xu Ning was not at a disadvantage, on the contrary, he also occupied the absolute initiative, after all, there were archers secretly helping, and the lethality of his two guns gradually increased, and the dead soldiers could only be tired of fighting.
When the tip of the golden gun pierced the throat of the most ferocious dead man, the dead man completely lost his ability to resist and began to flee in all directions, but there were officers and soldiers everywhere, and arrows were constantly shooting, so it was so easy to escape.
Rushing to kill everything, Xu Ning never thought of letting go of this group of dead soldiers, on the contrary, he was doing his best to hang the dead soldiers, especially after personally participating in the battle, which strengthened his determination to kill the soldiers.
Xu Ning was like a killing machine, the two guns in his hands flew up and down, the tips of the guns seemed to have eyes, and the tips of the guns kept pressing on the forehead of the dead soldiers.
Killing, merciless killing, doomed this barracks to become hell on earth. Countless dead people are lying on the streets, and it can be said that their deaths have not changed anything, but they have been ruthlessly abandoned!
After most of the casualties, they finally rushed to the front, but the combination of spears, machetes, and long and short weapons of the oncoming Xiang army made them die continuously, and after killing dozens of times throughout the night to no avail, the remaining two or three hundred dead soldiers chose to surrender.
Surrender, the choice of this group of dead soldiers is a bit stupid, after surrendering, what follows is not glory and wealth, but merciless killing.
Compared to the group of dead soldiers guarding the treasure, this group of people died well, and the two hundred dead soldiers who died tragically because of the treasure are really pitiful and pathetic.
In order to avoid leaking the news, Li Jun issued a killing order, and it was not the kind of killing that kills, but the killing of destruction, he knew that this group of guys would not bow down and confess, and could only end the battle with bloody killings.
The gold and silver treasures on the ships had already been packed into boxes and sealed, and they had long since sunk to the bottom, but every alley was chained with iron chains, so as to avoid sudden searches by the officers and soldiers.
Two hundred dead soldiers stayed on the ship, and they were greeted by merciless killing, raging fire, so to speak, there were not many dead soldiers killed, most of them were burned to death, because the ships had long been surrounded, so whether they were on the ship or jumped into the sea, this group of dead soldiers had no chance of survival.
Before, Zhu Mian was cocooned and self-bound, and the emphasis in the recital to the official family was to donate all the family property of 3 million guan, which covered up the remaining 7 million guan, which is why Liu Zhenglong chose to hang all the soldiers, that is, to send out the 7 million guan of gold, silver and jewelry here unknowingly, and gather together with Fang La's wealth.
Looking at the flames of the sea ship, Li Jun knew that even if the news leaked out this time, it could explain the direction of the treasure, that is, it sank to the bottom of the sea and could never be recovered.
This wealth and Fang La's wealth were secretly hidden, as if the wealth of this rich country had never existed. With the death of this group of dead soldiers, the smoke vanished, and no one mentioned it again.
The task of Mu Hong, Bao Xu and others is relatively simple, that is, to rush into Zhu Mian's mansion, regardless of men, women, and children, all of them are killed, such a cruel thing is only suitable for these two ruthless people to do.
Before, Mu Hong had already sent people to infiltrate the Zhu Mansion and used the medicine prepared by Bai Sheng to charm many dead soldiers in the Zhu Mansion, so that when the killing began, there were less than five hundred dead soldiers participating in the battle. The combat effectiveness of these 500 dead soldiers far exceeds that of the two or three thousand van army, which can be said to be very strong. It's a pity that this killing did not involve the Xiang army at all, but the Longxiang army that returned to Suzhou from the sea, this group of killing machines with outrageous combat effectiveness, received the order to kill, there was no emotion at all, only ruthless killing.
Participating in the war, the Imperial City Division sent more than 100 top masters to participate in the battle, and the orders received by this group of guys were also to kill them all and leave no one alive.
When the fire on the sea clashed, the killing of Zhu Mansion kicked off, and Mu Hong was not prevented from attacking from the main gate, Bao Xu, the god of mourning, attacked from the back door, Shi Yong, the general of Shi, attacked from the left gate, and Xue Yong, the sick insect, attacked from the right gate. And the masters of the Imperial City Division are cruising in the four states of Zhufu to ensure that not a single fish escapes.
The price of 300,000 guan is that the master of the Imperial City Division is only responsible for the periphery and does not enter the interior of the Zhu Mansion, which is the price that Liu Zhenglong gave to him the 300,000 guan that Zhu Mian gave to him and gave it to Liang Fang.
Liang Fang's ambition is not big, 300,000 guan is already an astronomical amount for this guy, he doesn't want to know how much gold and silver treasure there is in the Zhu Mansion, and he doesn't want to know how many hundred guan gifts Liu Zhenglong will eventually give Liang Shicheng, the only thing this guy knows is that people give themselves 300,000 guan for only one purpose, and that is to destroy his mouth.
