Chapter 136: Stubborn Resistance
(Many brothers have given us a lot of useful advice lately, and I thank you for some of these suggestions, which I will consider in my next writing!) In short, as long as you have any suggestions, you may as well write them in the book review area, and the cold wind will read them carefully! )
A group of soldiers of the Xingtian Army poured into Lijiazhuang from the suddenly open Zhuangmen in the muddy water, and quickly rushed into the Zhuangzi under the leadership of their respective officers, and started a street battle with some Zhuang Ding who was still resisting.
After the Zhuang Ding villagers retreated into the Zhuangzi, they lost their unified command, and the 351 gangs gathered together and resisted powerlessly, but their resistance was quickly crushed one by one under the organized blows of the Xingtian Army, and the corpses fell into the mud one by one.
The cry of a woman was heard everywhere in the Zhuangzi, and finally some villagers gave up resistance completely, abandoned their weapons and knelt down on both sides of the street, begging for mercy, but the red-eyed Xingtian army did not abide by military discipline very much, whether they surrendered or not, they were often treated the same, and the big knife was swung away, and immediately another corpse fell down in the way.
The legs of the leggings crossed over the corpses, and then went deep into the interior of Lijiazhuang, there was no mercy, only massacre, and soon the main force of the Xingtian Army controlled most of the area in Lijiazhuang.
Xiao Tianjian was not completely relieved until this time, although he also saw that some of his soldiers violated military discipline and killed some villagers who surrendered, but at this time he understood the feelings of these brothers under his subordinates, and in a few days, many brothers around them fell under the village wall, not to mention these generals, even he was just as angry.
It's not that he didn't give Zhuang Ding Xiangyong a chance in Zhuangzi, when he first came, he exposed the old background of the Li family in public, but these Zhuang Ding Xiangyong did not abandon the Li family because of this, but under the heavy reward of the Li family, they still mustered up the courage to repel several attacks of the Xingtian Army in a row, killing and injuring many generals of the Xingtian Army, so he didn't see it when his subordinates treated these Zhuang Ding Xiangyong like this, and he turned a blind eye until he saw that they controlled most of the area of Lijiazhuang, and then ordered his officers to restrain their subordinates. Reduce the killing of innocent people in the Zhuangzi.
A young man with a medicine box on his back followed a guard to Xiao Tianjian's side, and said to Xiao Tianjian: "Please sit down with the plate, and let the little one help you wrap your wounds!" ”
Xiao Tianjian only felt a sharp pain on the big arm and waist of his arm at this time, just when he attacked the Zhuang wall, Xiao Tianjian was slashed on the arm by Li Wangjin's sneak attack, although there was a piece of armor to protect his arm, but it was still split The nail leaf left a deep hole in the arm, and at this time the whole arm was full of blood, some of which had been solidified in the sleeve.
And the injury on the waist was when he led people to rush down the village wall to seize the door, he was shot by a Zhuang Ding, and he also broke the nail leaf and made a cut on his waist, and the blood also flowed a lot at this time, sticking to the close-fitting clothes, which was very uncomfortable.
In the fierce battle just now, maybe it was because he was too nervous or overexcited, and the adrenaline seemed to be secreted a little more, which actually made him not feel pain, but at this moment, as soon as he was reminded by this medical soldier, Xiao Tianjian felt the pain of the two wounds.
Grandma's, this time I actually forced Lao Tzu to draw a knife in person, and he hung up the lottery! It seems that the training of his subordinates is still not enough! Xiao Tianjian thought as he sat down on a crooked wooden barrel and asked Tietou to help him take off his iron armor, revealing his wounds.
This medical soldier was very skilled in cleaning the wound for Xiao Tianjian with spirits, and sprinkled some hemostatic powder on the wound, and bandaged his wound with his hands and feet, although Xiao Tianjian scolded his mother in pain, but on the surface, he still made a tough guy appearance, gritted his teeth and did not say a word, but when he cleaned the wound with spirits, he gasped, and greeted the woman who cut him Li Wangjin for eight lifetimes.
Just when the medical soldiers were bandaging Xiao Tianjian's wounds, Feng Gouzi ran over, and when he saw Xiao Tianjian wrapping his wounds, he exclaimed, "The palm plate is also injured?" What is the injury? ”
Xiao Tianjian pretended to be a tough guy and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just a skin injury!" What is the situation on the Li family's mansion? ”
Feng Gouzi hurriedly replied: "No! The third son of the Li family retreated into the mansion with some family members and townsmen, and blocked the courtyard door, and it was estimated that there were still a hundred and ten Zhuang Ding, and his subordinates led people to hit the door several times, but they couldn't break it open, and sent people to attack from the wall, and they were also beaten back! They climbed onto the roof and kept throwing things down, and our people couldn't get close, and they injured a dozen or so brothers! Subordinates come over and ask the palm to take a look and think of a way! ”
Xiao Tianjian changed his clothes, put on the somewhat tattered iron armor again, stood up and said, "How many yards have not been taken down?" ”
"The four of them are all the courtyards of the Li family, they are very strong, and the people inside are carrying them to death and refuse to surrender! Our people are pouring it in! Feng Gouzi replied.
"The Battle of the Trapped Beasts! It's not too early, these mansions must be taken before dark! Beckoned Huang Shengqiang outside to come in with a cannon, now that the rain has stopped, his cannon should be able to be used! Open these houses for Lao Tzu! As soon as Xiao Tianjian raised his leg, he felt that the wound on his waist was pulled and hurt violently, and he immediately inhaled the cool air and stopped, and after looking at the sky, he commanded Feng Gouzi.
"Yes! Grandma's! Kill these bastards! After saying that, Feng Gouzi happily sent a subordinate out of the village to transfer Huang Shengqiang's gang who stayed in the camp.
Xiao Tianjian stabilized his mind, endured the pain in his waist, and walked towards the place where the shouting of killing was strongest with the iron head and a few guards.
The Li family's mansion is indeed built very solid, all of them are courtyard walls made of blue bricks, up to more than one zhang, very thick, think of the Li family may also think that one day Zhuangzi may be broken by someone, this old mansion has become the last way to retreat, so the courtyard wall built is very solid, and even the four corners are even built arrow towers, there are family members standing in the courtyard wall, constantly throwing arrows and guns outward, the troops of the Xingtian Army are suppressed outside, and they can never get close to the courtyard wall.
"Damn, this Li Lao Wang Ba built the yard as strong as a turtle shell, and the brothers were beaten back after rushing several times!" As soon as he saw Xiao Tianjian coming, Luo Li, who was here to lead the team to attack the Li family's mansion, greeted him, and reported to Xiao Tianjian with a scolding in his mouth.
Xiao Tianjian took a look at a street corner, and their whereabouts were seen by the family of an arrow tower in the corner of the courtyard, and immediately someone fired a shot at their location, and the lead hit the corner of the wall, causing the broken bricks to fly.
"This is it! They have guns on their corner towers! I've wounded several of our brothers! Luo Li pulled away Xiao Tianjian, who was watching the situation on the street corner, and said to Xiao Tianjian.
Lifting the gun is actually a large bird gun, more than three meters long and weighing twenty or thirty pounds, it is a small battle defense gun, the power is really not small, just now in the battle on the Zhuang wall, because of the rain, the Li family failed to use firearms, but at this time the rain has stopped, they took out the bird gun and the gun, and actually condescended to beat the Xingtian army members can not get close to the courtyard.
Xiao Tianjian looked around, and his attention was immediately attracted by a courtyard near the Li family's mansion, pointing to this courtyard and asking, "This courtyard has already been taken down?" ”
Luo Li stretched out his head to take a look, nodded and said: "It's poured in, this household is the courtyard of a clan brother of Li Lao Wangba, and it was just broken by Brother Yan just now, and all the people inside were tied up!" ”
Xiao Tianjian nodded and said, "That's easy to do!" Where are we going! With that, he rushed out of the street and ran straight to the courtyard.
Two more gunshots rang out on the courtyard wall of the Li family, and some of the Li family's family members saw Xiao Tianjian and fired two shots at him, but because Xiao Tianjian ran fast, he did not hit Xiao Tianjian, and although the power of lifting the gun was not small, it was very slow to load, and it would take a long time to fire again after one shot, so it did not threaten Xiao Tianjian and them.
Standing in this courtyard, Xiao Tianjian saw a few corpses at the gate of the courtyard, and there were more than 30 men and women kneeling in the courtyard, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them, looked at the roof, and immediately ordered Luo Li: "You go and greet Huang Shengqiang and them, bring the firecrackers and tiger squat cannons over first, and then call some brothers to come over, and carry the Eight Immortals table and bed boards and other things in this house to the roof for me, and pile up some grain bags!" ”
Luo Li's eyes rolled a few times, and he immediately understood what Xiao Tianjian meant, and said with a big grin: "If it's really powerful, why didn't we think of this method?" Ha ha! Come on, you call some brothers to go to the room, follow the instructions of the palmer, and I will pick up Huang Shengqiang! Hehe! ”
After a busy work, a group of people of the Xingtian Army set up ladders, climbed onto the roof, and got things like bed boards to the roof, at this time the people of the Li family's mansion also saw their actions, so they immediately hit this side with bird guns and guns, fortunately someone erected two Eight Immortal Tables, blocked these bullets, and only injured one soldier, and soon a bag of grain was put on the roof by them, stacked on these bed boards, and built a simple fort.
Not long after, I heard a shouting outside the courtyard gate, and a group of soldiers carrying bird guns surrounded a group of soldiers carrying tiger squat cannons poured into the courtyard.
"Huang Shengqiang!" Xiao Tianjian also climbed onto the roof at this time, visually measured the distance between here and the Li family's mansion, and shouted at him loudly when he saw Huang Shengqiang arrive.
"Here! Please take the plate and command! ”
"Is gunpowder damp? Can the Tiger Squat Cannon and the Bird Gun still be used? Xiao Tianjian leaned over and squatted behind a table of eight immortals as a shield and asked Huang Shengqiang.
"Don't worry, take the plate! Don't dare to let the gunpowder get damp if you have the guts! It's all wrapped in oiled paper, and it's tightly sealed in a wooden barrel, and it will never be wrong! Huang Shengqiang replied as he stood in the courtyard with a strong look.
"That's good! Bring the tiger squat cannon up to Lao Tzu! Stand up here, fuck it, and clear those bastards on the roof across the street! Listen to the firecracker! Reload now, go up to the wall, and kill those bastards on top of the corner tower! Luo Li, you also beckoned your subordinates, prepare the ladder, and as soon as the fire is fired, you will rush out and rush to the roof! Just control the roof and they're done! Xiao Tianjian squatted on the roof and ordered loudly.
