Although there are only more than 20 people, at least these 20 people have a deep blood feud with Mu Yinan, and if they are willing to stand up at this time, then their fighting spirit will definitely not be weak.

And then Zhang Chengye said again: "Is there anyone who is willing to go up with them to fight with Mu Yinan, except for taking a month's military salary now, including food, firewood, and clothing, and afterwards Liu Inspection will reward fifteen taels of silver, and if it is a brother who died in the line of duty, he will be given a pension of thirty taels of silver!" ”

In rural China at that time, the price of mediation in a case of a homicide in which both parties were responsible was generally only 50,000 to 80,000 yuan, and when converted into silver taels, it was only 30 to 50 taels of silver, and the price offered by Zhang Chengye was definitely not low.

Therefore, more than 30 people soon stood up: "Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, Zhang Chengye, does what you say work?" ”

"It works, it definitely works!" Zhang Chengye told everyone: "I, Zhang Chengye, speak count, and Liu Checkpoint is also as good as a mountain when he speaks, if I can't get the reward afterwards, everyone will kill me!" ”

Sixty men were immediately pieced together, and the remaining thirty or so officers and men of the prisoner camp pieced together another twenty men, mixed with these men into an infantry company, and hurried to the southeast.

There are still more than 100 people who are willing to take four taels and two cents of silver salary, but their fighting spirit is the same as the group of brave men that Zhang Chengye began to recruit, and they are only willing to fight a low-intensity battle, so Zhang Chengye immediately said: "I think everyone is not willing to work hard, but they are willing to take a salary, is it okay to do the easiest job now?" ”

"Okay!" Someone immediately replied: "We can defend the city wall, but we will fight to the death with Mu Yinan, and we will take four taels and two cents of silver." I can only do this four-tael-two silver thing! ”

Zhang Chengye immediately said: "That's very easy to do, this matter is to help me take care of all the demons in this prisoner camp!" ”

In addition to the 300 people who were willing to serve the red thieves, there were still more than 300 people in the prisoner camp who were stubborn, and even though Zhang Chengye was paid and rewarded, he still resolutely did not move.

And Zhang Chengye's sentence has drawn a deep gap between the two of them, and from now on they are no longer the relationship between prisoners and captives, but the relationship between the caretaker and the guarded.

And these captives were such an easy job as soon as they heard about it. They all agreed: "No problem, no problem, isn't it just to help you watch the three hundred demons, absolutely no problem!" ”

With their assurance, Zhang Chengye immediately said a few words to a squad leader who stayed in the prisoner camp. Go back to the walls with confidence.

With this solicitation, he finally stopped the time bomb that could explode at any time in the prisoner camp, and now more than a dozen Lao Hongjun and a hundred newly recruited brave men stared at the three hundred or so most hard-fought prisoners in this camp.

At the head of the city, there are two more teams of brave warriors.

Especially on Mu Yinan's side, as soon as they gained a firm foothold on the foot wall, there were **ten rainbow soldiers and brave mixed brigades rushed to the city, and many brave men were red-eyed when they saw Mu Yinan, and shouted repeatedly: "Mu old thief is really here." Kill everyone! Kill! ”

All of them are fierce, Mu Yinan was defenseless for a while, and immediately suffered twenty or thirty casualties, and was almost pressed down on the city wall, he saw that his more than 300 brave men had been killed and wounded, and now they are all those who want to pick up cheap Huangyan Tuyong, and immediately let their brave men retreat a little bit to regroup, and let those Tuyong first put into this kind of meat grinder.

It's just this time. Guang Yong, who killed Gao Liangcai from the west, and twenty mixed troops of the Rainbow Army, these Tu Yong fell into a battle to the death as soon as they entered the city, with red thieves fighting to the death in front, and behind them were the Governor team south of Mu, and they could only fight to the death under the front and rear attacks. …,

And Huang Tingxuan and Guan Jiyong have already seen the movement of Guangyong and the Hong Army on the city wall, and Huang Tingxuan inspired the morale of his subordinates: "Now there are only twenty or thirty old red thieves left, everyone rush." Take Huangyan County in one round, just one round! ”

It was only in the battle at the forefront that the morale of these two regiments was broken, and the number of seriously wounded killed and abandoned under the city reached 280, even if Huang Tingxuan repeatedly encouraged them. Repeatedly urging, still reluctant to move.

As a last resort, Huang Tingxuan could only personally take dozens of cronies to swim across the moat, and their attack was not hindered much, and they soon killed the city, which was indeed only twenty or thirty red thieves, and the combat effectiveness was not strong.

What made this regiment even more happy was that the little lady in the golden robe was still standing in the city to supervise the battle, seeing the appearance of Shi Tinglan, the morale of these two regiments was restored at once, and the hundreds of broken regiments cheered, like a tide surging across the moat, and they swam forward while shouting: "Kill!" Kill! ”

It's just that the warriors in front of them have just stepped on the river bank with their front feet, and when the team of the brigade is still in the moat, there are suddenly more ** No. 10 people under the city, they are either holding flintlock pistols or bird guns, and they are facing the city is a row of guns, and some people even shouted: "Mother, son, I have avenged you!" ”

"Guan Jiyong, you come out for me! Lao Tzu killed you! ”

"Blood and hatred, get revenge today!"

Huang Tingxuan, who rushed to the front, was shot into a hornet's nest on the spot, he looked at Shi Tinglan in the city when he was dying, and shouted in his mouth: "This girl, Lao Tzu gave it to you, don't grab the first one, drag me back!" ”

But these dozens of cronies all flew away, and they had no intention of dragging this big leader of Qitian Yong back, on the contrary, the entire city was crying.

Now these regiments are in a state of half-crossing and attacking, although there are only ** ten more people in the city, with their strength there is a chance to rush up, but as soon as they see the ambush, everyone desperately swims back, the more they want to go back, the more crowded the whole river is, the result is that the city watched them slowly retreat, reload ammunition and shoot again and again.

……

"Cavalry battalion, we are the blades of the army!"

Seeing that the regimental warriors organized more than 100 people to rush up in an attempt to encircle and annihilate their cavalry battalion, Zhou Xiuying was the first to rush back with a horse chopping knife.

As soon as several regiments of Yong wanted to capture this female bandit, they didn't think that Zhou Xiuying waved his saber again and again, the silver arc flashed, and the blood tide continued to surge, and he actually took several lives in a row, and there was no one under him.

The remaining officers and soldiers of the entire cavalry battalion rushed forward with sabers in hand, this group of regimental warriors was not their opponent in hand-to-hand combat, so they could only turn around and retreat, Zhou Xiuying just wanted to catch up, but he saw that Huang Xiude had led 900 regimental warriors on the opposite side to rush over to reinforce, and immediately ordered to retreat a little bit and reorganize the position.

The two sides immediately launched a round of shooting, Huang Xiude saw that Zhou Xiuying's men were small, and immediately wanted to counterattack, but not long after rushing out, the Hong army over there also rushed over two infantry platoons.

They joined Zhou Xiuying and fought bravely with the regiment led by Huang Xiude, and the battle line became chaotic, and soon a confrontation formed.

Huang Xiude saw that the progress was not satisfactory, and immediately took the spot to block the southbound rainbow army, anyway, he had more than 1,100 people in his hands, and it would cost a lot to eat this red thief, but it was not easy for this red thief to break through his defense line.

"Just keep it! The red thieves in the county town can't hold out for long! ”

And Zhou Xiuying was also very anxious, the sound of killing and guns in Huangyan County was earth-shattering, presumably it was still fighting, but with a small number of troops facing the onslaught of the enemy army with several times superiority, it was definitely an extremely dangerous situation. ..., if the county defenders are wiped out by the enemy, then her small army is in danger of being eaten, but looking at the terrain in front of her, even if she has a high fighting spirit, she is unable to attack.

There were thousands of enemy troops in front of them, and they were already building a simple defensive line by taking advantage of the nearby terrain, and they were all set up with shotguns and guns, ready to destroy any enemy who dared to rush up.

She could only wait for the follow-up reinforcements, and when she came along the way, she encountered many stragglers and troops who were ordered to contain the prisoners in the same place, their strength was not large, or a company, or a platoon, but as long as one or two troops arrived, Zhou Xiuying dared to attack it.

……

Liu Chang loudly urged the entire army to speed up: "Hurry up!" Hurry up, we have to keep up with the pace of the cavalry battalion! ”

There were still a very small number of sporadic troops of the Rainbow Army along the road who saw the large army returning south, and they did not know that they had learned the news of the attack on Huangyan County, and they joined in one after another.

Qu Jie is more impressive: "Check, no problem!" Maybe by the time we arrive at Huangyan County, the whole battle will be over! ”

"It's not that easy!" Liu Chang replied, "We are now in a race against death!" ”

Although he didn't figure out how many troops Su Jingrong had gathered under Huangyan City, he knew very well that the defeat of the Taiping army in Taizhou was caused by regimental training, and tens of thousands of Taiping troops were destroyed by the hands of the tide of militias, and the defeat of the Taiping army must not be repeated on him.

He couldn't help but think of those figures who stuck to Huangyan County, and hoped that they would all be safe!

Shi Tinglan, Feng Sixian, Bai Shanye, Gao Liangcai, and even the newly surrendered Zhang Chengye......

Liu Chang hopes that they will not be damaged a little, and hope that he is just a false alarm!

Su Jingrong, Mu Yinan, you are bad for me, and I, Liu Chang, have the notoriety of a Liu family, but except for Liu Shanren's family, I have never really killed people on a large scale!

I'm going to show you my thunder tricks now.

Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away, and those who commit crimes against our rainbow army will be punished even if they are far away! (To be continued......)
