The wolf smoke shrouded Zhaojiabao thickly, the fire devoured all the objects that could be burned, the shouting and killing sound had become dull from excitement, and the sky was already dark, but in this blood fire, the entire Zhaojiabao was like day, and in the shaking fireworks, it was like an illusory figure of fighting.

In the whole battle, it took half an hour to break the city (if it is called a city), and four hours to fight in the streets.

In the house next to it, under the cleaning of the cavalry of the sky, there is no longer a threat to the gun array of the main attack, and with the organization of Wu Tao, the frontal attack on the street began to speed up, and the obstacles in front of it were constantly cleared, and the children of the Zhao family and Xiang Yong were pierced by the guns.

There is no way to compete with the unorganized blood warrior and the organized killing machine, and after a while, the soldiers in the front row felt that their eyes were spacious, and when they raised their eyes, they had already killed the square in front of the Zhao ancestral hall.

As soon as the battlefield was wide, the Black Tiger Army could spread out its formation to give full play to its advantage of having many soldiers and a wide range of generals, and after a sudge, the military commander of the first row let out a sigh, raised his hand, and shouted for a long time; "All have --- --- decision."

The spearmen in front of him snapped and stopped their steps, did not wipe the sweat and blood from their foreheads, still held the spear tightly, maintained an assassination posture at any time, and was fully alert for the enemy counterattack that appeared at any time.

Behind him, the waist drum sounded eagerly, and there were constantly brothers from other martial arts teams, led by the captain and others, running left and right with the drum beat. The black military array quickly spread out the square in front of the ancestral hall, compressing the children of the Zhao family and the people who were shouting meaningless voices into the ancestral hall.

When the last child retreated to the ancestral hall, the door of the ancestral hall slammed shut.

The square and the ancestral hall were silent, except for the plucking of lit torches in the night sky.

Guo Tianxing and Wu Tao walked to the front of the team again, Guo Tianxing's spirit was very weak, he bit his lip tightly and did not make a sound, and a pair of eyes full of confusion stared at the door of the ancestral hall tightly.

Wu Tao saw and listened to Da Lang's teachings, but he didn't know how to extricate him, only King Chuang could. But now he had to fight, so he strode forward, took a deep breath and shouted into the ancestral hall; "You have been defeated, our Black Tiger Army no longer wants to do senseless killing, please hand over our brothers, lay down their arms and surrender."

After a while, an old voice in the ancestral hall responded intermittently; "My Zhao clan is deeply favored by the emperor, but if you die in battle, where are the descendants of thieves. Moreover, if you have killed nearly a thousand of my people, I will not be able to bow my knees to the enemies of my people. ”

"If you continue to resist, will you not care about your own death? Just cut off your Zhao family's incense bloodline? ”

Wu Tao wanted to impress the patriarch of the Zhao clan with the traditional concept of continuing the clan incense inherent in China, and make him give up resistance and surrender.

Who would have thought that as soon as the words fell, he heard a burst of hysterical crazy laughter from the ancestral hall, and he couldn't breathe with laughter.

He gasped for a moment before he continued; "Destroy my whole people? You dream. I might as well tell you now that the thieves know, I already knew that my clan would end up today, just before you arrived, I had already done my best to collect the money of the family, secretly brought the ancestral tablet genealogy, and selected all the elite children of the clan rushed to Yan'an to develop, kill us, we will use the lives of the remaining old and weak of our clan to pave the smooth road of glorious lintels for the children of our clan, hahahaha, at that time, long live will be grateful to my whole clan for resisting thieves and rewarding the elite children of my clan, It's time for my Zhao clan to flourish in the coming troubled times, hahahaha. ”

In this crazy laughter, Wu Tao, Guo Tianxing, and all the people in the square all felt a chill rushing from the bottom of their hearts, and they all had an unforgettable understanding of the terrible clan power and clan concept at this moment.

Just when everyone had not recovered from the shock, there was a sudden shock and a few screams in the ancestral hall, and when everyone didn't know why, the old voice shouted; "Ignite the fire, let's die together for the glory of the Zhao clan." Immediately after that, a flame rushed into the sky, instantly reflecting the sky of Zhaojiabao, and a scream of a snarling person came out in the flames.

Wu Tao saw that it was not good to scream, and shouted at the soldiers who were still stunned; "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly bang on the door to put out the fire, save people, quickly."

At this time, Wu Tao and Guo Tianxing jumped to their feet in a hurry, if this really allowed the Zhao family to be wiped out, then it would spread out, and the prestige of breaking into the prestige would be ruthlessly attacked, which was a situation that could never occur.

At this time, everyone rushed up and began to bang on the door, but the door was already dead, and it couldn't be opened at all. "Don't give up, jump over the wall by a human ladder, quickly."

The soldiers hurriedly began to set up a human ladder to jump over the wall to save people, but at this time, there was a sudden loud bang, and they saw that the originally majestic hall of the Zhao clan ancestral hall had collapsed in the fire, and there was no longer a single sound of screaming in the courtyard. Everyone stopped, looked at the Grand Commander and Deputy Military Division, and waited for the next instructions.

Guo Tianxing and Wu Tao looked at each other and sighed, and waved their hands dejectedly; "Forget it, take our brother's body and the wounded, and let's withdraw from Zhaojiabao."

Da Lang stepped forward and asked cautiously; "What about the remnants of the Zhao family who are still hiding."

Guo Tianxing and Wu Tao said with a wry smile; "There's not much left to come, so let them go." Then they left together.

When he walked in front of the bombed fort gate, he stood on the stone lintel of the three words of Zhaojiabao that was miraculously complete, Guo Tianxing looked at the brothers who kept silently walking by, and said to Wu Tao who was following behind him; "How wise King Chuang is."

Wu Tao also stopped, turned to look at the Zhao clan ancestral hall that was still in the fire, and said with a frown; "How many times have clans turned the tide in history, how many situations have changed, how many dynasties have been supported, but how many empires have also been destroyed. How terrible the clan is, and how far-reaching is King Chuang's vision. ”

The two of them stood silently on the ruins of Zhaojiabao and stopped talking, and Da Lang just stood behind the two of them inexplicably without speaking.

At this time, there were several fires in Zhaojiabao, and they slowly became a prairie fire. After a while, the entire Zhaojiabao became a huge fire, and the faces of the people scorched by the scorching heat wave on their faces hurt. The soldiers around him couldn't help but speed up their pace.

Wu Tao said in a deep voice; "This time, Zhao Jiabao has ruined our reputation of benevolence and righteousness in Fuxian."

"Yes, we are convicted of slaughtering the village and exterminating the clan, this old dog is so calculating, he even bit us until he died."

When the last soldier walked out of the ruins of Zhaojiabao, Guo Tianxingcai and Wu Tao, Geng Kui and other leaders left Zhaojiabao, which was victorious but actually defeated.

Taking stock of this battle, more than 20 people were killed and wounded in the battle outside the city, but the number of dead and wounded inside the city reached 110, which was the biggest loss since the breakthrough of Yanchuan.

Giving so much and getting nothing in return, and saddling a piece of infamy, the real gains outweigh the losses.

Zhaojiabao has since become a ghost, Zhaojiabao is not only destroyed by military disasters but also destroyed by ambition, sometimes the disaster brought by ambition may be greater, who can say clearly?

Lu Shi had not yet gotten up in the morning, and his body had been weak, so he had never sent Tianxing and Wu Tao off. Under the pressure of my mother, I didn't get up to wash until three poles in the morning. After eating the broth made by Chunlan, everyone else didn't want Lu Shi to worry about motivation, Lu Shi had to walk slowly to the hall of Huluyu Cottage to teach the students, the children studied very hard, but today Lu Shi taught a little absent-minded, as if something was going to happen, and in the afternoon when the sun was setting in the west, he hastily received the handouts, and returned to his cave accompanied by Wang Zhang and Liangxiao.

On the table was a report on the construction of the factory handed in by Blacksmith Zhao, the third uncle's cottage grain distribution plan, and the distribution of daily necessities for the hired workers.

Now all departments of the cottage have arranged literate scribes to do the book, and some things have begun to be handled in accordance with the written form, and everyone is no longer running around. In this way, it took a lot of time to terminate the contract, and now the entire Huluyu old camp is in ruins, and the most lacking thing is time.

Chunlan is not there, and now Chunlan has also become a busy person, the affairs of the women in the entire Huluyu old camp are all in charge of her women's army, and she is also busy with her feet not touching the ground, although she is reluctant to leave Lu Shi for a while, but she can't leave behind the organization of the women in the entire Huluyu old camp.

Lu Shi felt uneasy after reading the report for a while, and he couldn't stand it, thinking about the problems of the front line, but he thought about his cottage this time to go to four gun teams and half of the firearms battalion, as well as the cavalry team of the Black Tiger Star, and then there were sergeants to cover the battlefield, so that the entire strength reached 2,0023 men and horses, as well as explosives and elm spraying these big killing weapons, with his own well-trained elite soldiers, armed with a family of landlords, the whole is a lion fighting rabbit posture, it is difficult to think of anything, What's more, with Wu Tao, a steady military advisor, who has assisted in the command of Tianxing's staff officer, what else can he worry about, it seems that he is too careful.

Thinking of this, I smiled selfishly, and said in my heart; "It seems that I have the potential to be an old hen, which is not good, and I have to let go when I should let go."

Stretch your waist and call Wang Jiandao; "When did they leave?"

Wang Jian said with a smile; "Teacher, the commander is at the end of the day, our Huluyu is about forty miles away from Zhaojiabao, with our marching speed is about the end of the hour, plus the whole team after eating and resting, about the beginning of the attack, the military division rest assured, there are elite soldiers and strong generals led by the general and deputy military division Wu, and the treatment of those chickens and dogs in Zhaojiabao is not hand-to-hand? However, I think it will take a few hours to solve the battle, but after the battle, the army will have to clean up the battlefield and rest, so the class teacher will not come back until tomorrow at noon, so the teacher does not have to worry. ”

Lu Shi was very satisfied with Wang Jian's answer, and in the six months since he came to the cottage, the two brothers Wang Jian and Zhang Xiao have been inseparable by his side, and they have won their own ears, so they have made rapid progress. Zhang Xiao is nothing, but this Wang Jian has a lot of insight in military affairs, plus his calm personality, he is a good seedling, and it is worth cultivating.

Probably because of Wang Jian's comfort, Lu Shi was not bored, and began to calm down to read the paperwork report of Blacksmith Zhao and the third uncle, and began to make some arrangements for the windmill of the reservoir, so that he could start installing the waterwheel when he was in good health. In this way, it was not until midnight that I rested at the urging of my mother.
