Lord Zhao Zhuang majestically glanced at the people in the entire ancestral hall, and saw that everyone stretched their necks to look at themselves, waiting for them to speak, coughing and saying slowly; "The last battle, with the blessing of the ancestors, we killed the thief and made meritorious contributions, and were rewarded by the government, and my two unsuccessful dogs were also awarded official titles, and these are also indispensable to everyone's merits, yesterday the governor sent someone to urge my eldest son to go to the governor of Yan'an Mansion to perform his duties, and fortunately, the governor always praised one or two, this is the governor's love, but also the care of the boy."

There was a voice of envy underneath.

When Lord Zhao saw it, he patted the table again, waited for everyone to calm down, and continued; "But I can't forget the good of my brothers and uncles, and I don't want to make great achievements alone, today I decided, I took out all the furniture and 5,000 stone grain and grass, and sent my eldest son to the mansion to perform his duties, one is to find a future for everyone's children, and the other is to fund Lord Zhang Yuan to raise soldiers and horses to fight bravely, so as to eliminate the thief as soon as possible, this is a big problem, so I can't focus on the front,"

He glanced at the head of each room with a greedy face and stretched his neck at the bottom, and said with a smile: "So I decided that now each room will draw out one or two outstanding children, and take out some money to take office with the dog, and the dog will try his best to promote and protect everyone in front of the governor, I hope everyone will have a son to be rewarded with official awards." ”

As soon as these words came out, the sound of the bang at the bottom exploded, and they thanked the patriarch for his kindness. The meeting had no intention of opening again, so they hurriedly hurried home to prepare silver, money, antiques and other things, looking for their proud sons and nephews, and thinking about the wealth that broke the sky.

Of course, there are all kinds of good dramas here, either the concubine fights the concubine, or the brothers see each other shirtless, but I won't go into details.

At that moment, the owner of Zhao Zhuang returned home, said goodbye to his son, daughter-in-law and grandson with a smiling face, and took the trouble to tell his family thousands of instructions.

The others were only happy with the master, but they didn't know that the father and son understood in their hearts that this might be life and death.

The old lady kept complaining that the old man shouldn't be like this. It wasn't until Da'er left the village with dozens of truckloads of gold, silver, grain and grass and the excellence of the whole clan that the owner of Zhao Zhuang stood on the village wall and looked at the distant convoy with tears in his eyes with the support of his wife.

The wife didn't understand the old one, so she supported and persuaded her; "It's just to take office, the road is not far away, it can be seen at any time, if you have a heartache, those belongings should not be, as long as the land is there, there will be again next year."

Lord Zhao Zhuang didn't answer, just stood at the head of the city, looking at the elated relatives of Manzhuang silently. Seeing that the distant sons and nephews had long been hidden at the end of the far road, he sighed, and prepared to go down to the city with the support of his wife, waiting for the coming storm.

Before moving his steps, he suddenly heard a monotonous drum sound from afar, catering to the sound of drums, slowly passing the neat rumbling footsteps, turning around in a daze, holding the pergola and looking up, under the horizon, at the end of the Lei Lei loess, a row of shiny strange spear tips such as Lin Zha's guns slowly appeared, followed by a blood-red red tassel, then the usual gun barrels, and then a murderous and resolute face, and then a black pressure phalanx of thousands of people, neat and with boundless killing intent, It crushed towards the fort wall like a dark cloud.

A snow-white war horse suddenly rushed out, and in front of all the stunned villagers on the wall, a red flag was unfurled, and in the white moon on the flag, a big word flew in the wind.

Then behind the horizon roared the flame-like cavalry, they were in a small team of ten people, running back and forth in a stone's throw outside Zhaojiabao continuously, the flaming red battle suits, the sabers held high, and the dust raised in the sky, all of which showed that this time the comers had the intention to kill.

Everyone was stunned to look at the four mountains of guns and the whistling cavalry, where is this rabble in everyone's impression, where is this the bandit that everyone once disdained? This is a killer.

The panicked gong sounded, the whole Zhaojiabao was as noisy as a pot, groups of Zhuang Ding Township bravely ran up the castle wall, when they came up, they were still enthusiastic, thinking that the time had come to ask for another meritorious service, but when they saw the thieves killed outside the fort, they were frightened, and they were colorless.

"It's coming, the thieves are coming, and the time has come for me to exterminate my own race." Lord Zhao Zhuang muttered in his heart.

Indeed, this is the spearmen of the 4 teams of the Black Tiger Army led by Guo Tianxing and Wu Tao, the first firearms battalion and the entire cavalry team

Guo Tianxing and Wu Tao were stationed in front of Zhaojiabao, coldly observing the wall of Zhaojiabao Fort, where chickens and dogs were jumping, and hundreds of Xiangyong Zhuang Ding who were running back and forth in panic and shouting and howling on the wall.

Wu Tao said lightly; "Commander, let's salute first and then soldier."

"Okay, just give these pickles a chance." Guo Tianxing said with reluctance and hatred.

Raising the saber high, all the cavalry immediately returned to the banner of the Black Tiger Star and set up a large phalanx, and for a while the entire battlefield was silent, only the big banner of the word and the battle flag of the Black Tiger Army representing death were hunting in the cold wind.

The dust dispersed, the city and the city were as silent as death, and the stars of the sky mentioned the war horse, and walked forward slowly, and the monotonous sound of the horse's hooves reverberated clearly between heaven and earth, so clear, so clear that it was like a giant drum, beating on everyone's hearts.

Just shouted in a stone's throw away; "Everyone in Zhaojiabao is waiting to listen, I, under the command of King Chuang, the commander of the Black Tiger Army, have come to avenge the killing and wounding of my brother that day. Now give you a moment to do the following, and I will forgive you and others, if not, once the city is broken, the entire Zhao clan will be killed. ”

Wu Tao couldn't help but stomp his feet when he heard this, this commander really hates Zhao Jiabao, isn't this forcing people to fight hard with you? It seems that a big war is inevitable. But it's okay, in the future, you will have to follow King Chuang to conquer the city and conquer the west, so let these proud soldiers and fierce generals use this Zhaojiabao to practice.

"First, the head of the family will surrender to Kaicheng by himself, and second, he will act according to the rules of the place according to me in the future. Third, he dismissed Xiang Yong and no longer helped Zhang Yuan's dog thief. Fourth, return the person who wrote the book in my cottage. Fifth, compensate each of my brothers who died in the cottage with 100 taels of silver. ”

Some people in Zhaojiabao began to waver, whispering to each other, as soon as the owner of Zhao Zhuang saw everyone's **, he knew that it was going to be bad, and everyone had the heart of surrender and could not make their own plans, so they put their hearts sideways and shouted; "Wishful thinking." Then he commanded Xiang Yong; "Come on, release the arrows." But when he didn't see the left and right responses, he was immediately furious, and snatched the big bow from the hand of an archer next to him, and pulled the bow to go straight to the Tianxing Gate. "Looks like you don't want to surrender?"

"My Zhaojiabao is favored by the emperor, how can I surrender to you and other thieves who committed rebellion, you have elite soldiers, I have high walls and deep heroes, and countless righteous soldiers, I will let you lose troops under my Zhaojiabao, cut the feathers and return, and wait for the army to destroy you for the emperor This chaotic minister and thief."

"Hahaha, is that the earthen wall? Is it just that little ditch? Is it just the rabble around you? Hahaha, well, I'm not going to talk to you either. See how I got off this fort. After that, Guo Tianxing laughed and beat the horse to return to the brigade, and said to Wu Tao with a smile; Look, if he doesn't surrender, I can't help it, the following is Wu Tao's military division, hahaha. After that, he also learned Lu Shi's standard movements, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

Wu Tao smiled bitterly, and had no choice but to make a move and order; "The firearms battalion is ready to go."

The firearms battalion immediately used a trolley to push ten elm sprays to the front of the formation, began to dig a pit in the ground to find a good angle, and then used a semi-circular iron hoop to hoop the cannon body, and the two sides of the iron hoop were put into the ground with large iron drills, and then took out the medicine bag to tear the opening and poured the fixed gunpowder, and then poured the fixed lead after tamping, and then inserted the fire twist, and then the igniter lit the torch and stood behind the cannon, waiting for the captain to order, although the process was complicated, but under the strict training of the Black Tiger Army, it was completed in an orderly manner in accordance with the regulations.

At this time, the archers also ran forward and stood in front of the cannon to cover the gunners with bows and arrows, and rows of long bows unique to the invading army were erected, and long feathered arrows ** were in front of them.

When the city saw that the thieves had the elm spray this big killer at that time, they also began to spray the elm on the city indiscriminately, but the elm spray on the city was originally fixed on the wall, and there was only one door far away, which was inconvenient to move, and it was not as flexible as the method under the city.

The city also began to shoot arrows downward, but although it had the advantage of the terrain, how could it compare with the range of a longbow? Xiang Yong's lack of training and many can't be hit, even if he is hit, it is not a big problem to be protected by Teng Helmet and Rattan Armor, the Black Tiger Army still keeps releasing arrows, and for a while, the arrows in the city and the city are going back and forth, and after a while, they will be separated.

There are no more bows and arrows on the city, and finally the two opposite elm sprays are finally loaded, just about to put it, but first heard a dense explosion under the city, a landslide like a crack, like a storm of lead whistling, the Xiang Yong who couldn't dodge was immediately beaten into a sieve, and the blood immediately stained the city wall red, at that time, there were many Xiang Yong who had just been recruited to drop their knives and guns to escape from this hell, but the Zhao family's cronies and children of the supervision team waved a big knife at them, and for a time there was a wail of people's heads.

Arrows can't be shot, elm sprays can't be fired easily, that is to wait until the enemy begins to attack the city in large groups, now the lethal effect is not at all, just wait for the enemy to join the city in hand-to-hand combat.

For a moment, there was no one in sight in the whole city. Seeing this, Wu Tao shouted, "Demolition team." ”

The lord of Zhao Zhuang in the city was holding several layers of shields, and when he peeked, he saw a few strange-looking big guys beginning to slowly approach the city wall.

He didn't know what it was, but it must be a very terrible thing, and when the big guys slowly moved within the range of the elm spray, Zhao Zhuang Zhuang gritted his teeth and ignited the two elm sprays beside him. I only heard two loud bangs, and iron and lead flew sideways like iron brooms. All of a sudden, it covered the big guys below. Several young people cheered.

"Medium," Zhao Zhuang let out a sigh of relief, and said secretly in his heart; "Even your iron-beaten diamond-cast Arhat will not be able to withstand the blows of ten million irons, and will surely turn into pulp.
