Several sharp arrows whizzed past Zheng Kaicheng's body and were narrowly avoided. www.biquge.info Although Zheng Kaicheng was also wearing plate armor covering the front, if he was shot in the face or other vital points, he would still die. Moreover, these Jin merchants shoot arrows so viciously, who knows if there is poison on the arrows.

Seeing that the division commander was secretly attacked, the soldiers around Zheng Kaicheng became angry, and they crackled and rushed to the wall. Suddenly, three archers bounced and fell behind the courtyard wall screaming.

Zheng Kaicheng fell to the ground, patted the shoulder of the guard who threw him down, and said with a smile: "Good skills!" ”

Zheng Kaicheng was born and Li Zhi had studied for a few years before, and he was a rare elegant person among Li Zhi's subordinates. Although he was on the front line at this time, Zheng Kaicheng was always indifferent, and there was a kind of calmness everywhere.

The two guards are really different, and they are still not shocked at this juncture, and they admire Zheng Kaicheng more and more. They hurriedly got up, and then helped Zheng Kaicheng up.

Zheng Kaicheng waved his hand and said, "Go find a bumper and come out and knock the door open!" ”

The soldiers went to look for a big log, and finally found an iron-clad piece of striking wood in Wang Pu's general army mansion and carried it to the front of the Tian's gatehouse. More than a dozen soldiers shouted and pushed the big iron-clad log, and after dozens of hits, the heavy gate of the Tian family was slammed open.

The soldiers rushed in, and when they entered, they held their well-loaded rifles and fired at sight. The housekeepers in the courtyard also seemed to be red-eyed, and with their swords raised, they charged at the infantry who entered the courtyard, and were shot behind the gatehouse one by one.

The property of these Jin merchants, including the courtyard of this firm, will be attributed to the name of the Duke of Jinguo at that time, and then auctioned. Originally, the soldiers of the Tiger Army did not want to use grenades to destroy the courtyard buildings, but wanted to use rifles to do it. But when they saw that the resistance of the Tian family was so fierce, they had no choice but to use grenades.

A dozen grenades were lit by torches and thrown into the second courtyard, with a loud bang.

Then Zheng Kaicheng didn't hear any more gunshots, and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army smoothly entered the courtyard behind and took control of the entire business.

The business covers a large area, with a main courtyard, a side yard, a side yard, a side yard, and two warehouses and a silver warehouse, covering an area of more than ten acres. The soldiers searched the courtyard for a while, and soon arrested Tian Shenglan, the head of the Tian family.

The head of the Tian family, one of the eight Jin merchants, was wearing a set of mink fur coats and was pressed to kneel in front of Zheng Kaicheng.

Zheng Kaicheng looked at Tian Shenglan, frowned and said, "National thief!" Are you awake now? If you don't communicate with the enemy country and sell military funds, how can you be held back by my soldiers and become prisoners? ”

Natian Shenglan looked at Zheng Kaicheng, suddenly jumped up from the ground, and pounced on the defenseless Zheng Kaicheng. A personal soldier next to Zheng Kaicheng was quick and kicked over, kicking Tian Shenglan, who wanted to fight hard with Zheng Kaicheng, back.

Tian Shenglan fell on all fours, and before he could get up, a soldier smashed his head with the butt of a gun. After being smashed a few times, Tian Shenglan tilted her head and fainted.

Zheng Kaicheng patted the dust on his body and frowned at the unconscious Tian Shenglan.

Several soldiers ran out of the courtyard, all very excited. They rushed to Zheng Kaicheng and said loudly: "Commander, I found a lot of silver and grain!" ”

Fifteen miles east of Taiyuan City, more than 40,000 soldiers and horses from Shanxi Town and 19,000 men from Zhong Feng confronted each other in a valley in the mountains.

The 15,000 men of Zhou Yuji, the general army of Shanxi, and more than 20,000 people from Shanxi Town, one deputy general, five staff generals, and three guerrillas converged into a large army in Shanxi Town, and stopped majestically in front of Zhong Feng, who was about to attack Taiyuan.

Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi Province and the base camp of many Jin merchants. Since Li Zhi wanted to thoroughly raid the Jin merchants, he naturally couldn't help but occupy Taiyuan and raid his house.

Taiyuan is a famous fortified city, and Li Zhi has no internal response in the city, Li Zhi asked Zhong Feng to bring out all the soldiers and horses of the Broken Division this time. Coupled with the 4,000 cavalry of the ancestor of the Chosen Front, there were 19,000 people in total.

The 15,000-man division was equipped with 70 field cannons and 80 18-pounder guns. Zu Dashou's cavalry regiment had six heavy artillery pieces and four field guns. Equipped with these artillery, it is believed that Zhong Feng will be able to deal with the towering walls of Taiyuan City.

However, the first thing to solve is these Shanxi town soldiers and horses outside the city.

The energy of the seven Jin merchants in Shanxi is not trivial, Li Zhi wants to go to Taiyuan to raid his house, and these seven Jin merchants will mobilize all the soldiers and horses near the town of Shanxi to stop Li Zhi. These Jin merchants had long been married to the local hereditary military attachés, and they were actually already a family. Li Zhi demanded the lives of the seven collaborators of the Jin merchants, not only cutting off the financial routes of the local military attachés, but also killing their relatives.

Zhong Feng looked at Zu Dashou and said with a smile: "What does Commander Zu think of the combat power of the soldiers and horses in this Shanxi Town?" ”

Zu Dashou put down the binoculars and arched his hand and said, "Senior Commander Zhong, I think the soldiers and horses in this Shanxi town are all rabble. Except for Zhou Yuji's main barracks of 15,000 people, the rest are all local chickens and dogs. However, Zhou Yuji's 15,000 people didn't know why, the queue was loose and chaotic, and they didn't seem to have the determination to fight. ”

Zhong Feng said with a smile: "Ancestor has good eyesight. ”

Turning his head, Zhong Feng asked Jiang Chong, another regiment commander, "Jiang Chong, what do you think of the soldiers and horses in this Shanxi Town?" ”

Jiang Chong clenched his fists and said: "Division commander, there seem to be many soldiers in Shanxi Town, but the soldiers' equipment is outdated, and their morale looks very low. This time, we came to investigate that the Jin merchants were acting according to the holy decree, and the soldiers and horses of Shanxi Town were guilty of rebellion when they stopped us, and the crime can be punished! The soldiers of Shanxi Town did not have the determination to fight to the death. ”

Zhong Feng nodded and said, "That's good! Press on them and bombard them with artillery. ”

The flag was unfurled, and the Tiger Ben Army pulled up its position and pressed towards the soldiers and horses in Shanxi Town.

Zhong Feng was walking in the Chinese army, and suddenly saw a sudden chaos among the soldiers and horses in Shanxi Town. A middle-aged general wearing fish scale armor suddenly rushed out of the Chinese army. He rushed straight towards Zhong Feng, not looking back all the way.

As soon as he came out, the Chinese military department of Shanxi soldiers and horses chased out more than a dozen horsemen, as if they wanted to arrest this middle-aged general.

But the middle-aged general rode a fat horse, and his foot strength was even stronger than that of the pursuers behind. Chasing and chasing, the distance between the generals and the pursuers has been stretched to dozens of steps.

The pursuers drew their curved bows and began to shoot arrows at the middle-aged generals in front. More than a dozen arrows were thrown at the middle-aged general, and finally one of them hit the middle-aged general's back.

But the middle-aged general's armor was of good quality, and he didn't seem to be hurt by the arrows on his back, and continued to rush towards the Tiger Ben Army. Although the pursuers were pulled farther and farther away, they still desperately pursued behind.

Zhong Feng looked at the middle-aged general who was desperately fleeing this way with a telescope, and said in a daze, "What does this mean?" ”

The middle-aged general rode up to the Tiger Ben army and shouted at the soldiers, "Don't fire!" Don't open the gun! I'm Zhou Yuji, the chief soldier of Shanxi! I was forced to be in the chaos of the army! ”
