The Ming Dynasty army retreated all the way south until it reached the border of Jinan Province and Laiwu County.

However, the city walls of Laiwu City are not high, and the terrain is not dangerous enough, in fact, for Zhang Huangyan, it is not an important place to resist the Hongtang army in the south.

There is no way, after personally seeing the battlefield defeat of Hongtang's army, Zhang Huangyan, who has been sharpened in the battle array, feels a little pessimistic.

In the old and new eras, the war between hot and cold weapons brought Zhang Huangyan a sense of despair as it is now.

This is not alarmism, nor is it that Zhang Huangyan was destroyed because of a fight with the other party, but that he rationally analyzed it and felt the difference in strength between the two sides.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty army was not without a way to delay, that is, to continue to carry forward the previous urban street battles, or to use the huge army base of the Ming Dynasty army to fill the gap with the Hongtang army with human lives. Perhaps, this can barely maintain the current situation, and even make Hongtang's army feel the north bank of the Yellow River.

However, in the end, it can only stop there, at least in Zhang Huangyan's opinion, this is his most optimistic view.

This is no longer relying on one or two so-called famous generals, as well as the gap that can be recovered by the soldiers under their command with their lives, the countless generals of the Ming Dynasty in the previous battles of the Hongtang army are not without dealing with them, although everyone feels that there is nothing surprising about the opponent's combat tactics, and there is no aura, but the victory is better than the opponent's tactical stability, and almost no mistakes will be made.

Even if there was an occasional mistake, Hongtang's army was able to respond quickly and correct it in time, especially what frightened the Ming generals was the mobility of the low-level soldiers in Hongtang's army, which made it difficult for the Ming generals to see their complete collapse.

Even if the proportion of Hongtang's army losses exceeds fifty percent, or even more, they can continue to fight, and at the same time complete the reorganization and cooperation of the team at the time of the battle, and then play the strength of a complete team.

This is what the people of insight in the Ming Dynasty army know, the real body of the Hongtang army that has almost no defeat on the battlefield.

The previous Zhang Huang Yanbing didn't believe very much in the intelligence summed up by these colleagues in the Ming Dynasty, because in his opinion, there were too many of these colleagues in the Ming Dynasty who were too many of them were wine bags and rice bags.

But it wasn't until he had fought with Hong Tang's army once before that he suddenly realized that the experience I had summed up with my colleagues was not necessarily wrong.

"My lord, I'm afraid that Laiwu County will be difficult to resist the offensive of the Hongtang army, right?"

At this time, it was hundreds of miles away from the city of Jinan, but among the generals in the Ming Dynasty army, there seemed to be some people who were immersed in the previous artillery fire, and looked at the city of Laiwu County gloomily and said.

"So what, can we just give up the territory of the Ming Dynasty and continue to go south?"

On the side, Kong Zhenhui reprimanded angrily.

"The last general is not this idea, but the enemy's artillery is fierce, if it is only based on the offensive of Laiwu County, in fact, what is the meaning of a decisive battle with the plain?"

The person who spoke was Xia Chengde, who had returned from several previous defeats, once he thought he was skilled in arching and horses, not afraid of life and death, but last time he personally led the army to break through the Hongtang position, but in the end, in the sky full of cannonballs and bullets, several times almost died, the wall of courage in his heart, in the face of real life and death, collapsed, until now when he recalls the scene at that time, he will be shocked into a cold sweat.

"The last general is not afraid of death, in fact, he thinks that even if my sons die in battle, they should at least die where they are, and they should not die needlessly."

"Put down your weapons, Governor Gong Jilan, don't be a senseless struggle!"

Soon, in addition to the fifteen members of the Hongtang Special Combat Team, only Gong Jilan and his entourage, who were guarded by seven or eight personal guards, were still standing in the mountain temple, and there were also only fourteen or fifteen people.

Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.

However, among the corpses or wounded on the ground, most of them were Ming Dynasty soldiers, and the Hongtang special combat team members paid the price of seven injuries, killing and wounding more than 20 Ming Dynasty soldiers, and they were temporarily unable to recover their combat effectiveness.

Raising the close-fitting short crossbow in his hand, Yao Wenzhong, the temporary commander of the two special operations teams, calmly began to persuade him to surrender.

At the same time, the remaining special combat team members slowly and unnoticedly dispersed in all directions, blocking the only exit from the mountain temple, giving the target in front of them the slightest chance to escape.

"Hmph, shameless thief, as a member of the second rank of the Ming Tang and Tang Dynasties, how can he be bullied by you!"

Gong Jilan's face was pale, how could he have felt the breath of death like this today, the bow and arrows flew in his hands just now, the blood splattered in the battle, and the wails and moans of the injured and dying people all made Gong Jilan, the governor, always worried, for fear that he would be shot by a cold arrow if he was not careful.

Even so, Gong Jilan faced this situation, but she still stubbornly did not show weakness.

"It's embarrassing!"

Yao Wenzhong also expected it, and his previous speech was just in case of thought, but now it seems that he has to see the truth under his hands.

"Up!"

In the face of this Ming Dynasty governor who did not see the coffin and did not shed tears, Yao Wenzhong gave an order very simply, and fifteen special combat team members, including him, rushed up, seemingly acting without interfering with each other, but in fact they were fighting in coordination with each other, and the targets had already been assigned by the way, and there was no chaos at all.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! ”

Several Ming Dynasty guards fell in response to the shot of bows and crossbow feathers, and several high-ranking officials of Gong Jilan, who had lost these guards, suddenly showed a big flaw.

"Boom!"

Bai Guangen, who was beside Gong Jilan, let out a crisp sound from the long knife in his hand, and saw that his eyes were fierce, as if he had made a great determination, and the long knife drew an arc in the air and slashed down quickly.

"Shhh

The sluggishness of the knife into the flesh was followed by a terrible cry of pain, followed by a figure that staggered to the side.

"How daring!"

"Bastard!"

"What are you doing?!"

A few questions and angry cries sounded, but they did not affect the long knife in Bai Guangen's hand to continue to move.

"I'm sorry!"

It wasn't until the long knife in Bai Guangen's hand stopped in front of Gong Jilan's neck, because inertia left a slight wound on Gong Jilan's neck, and the blood flowed out slowly, and then Bai Guangen said a word of apology.

The sudden change was not only unexpected by the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, but also by Yao Wenzhong and his group of special combat personnel, who thought they were in control of the situation.

"You, Bai Guangen, you are so daring, it is in vain that the Lord is so important to you, but you want to be ungrateful and join the enemy?"

On the side, Ai Zhenxiong, Tang Tong and other general soldiers roared fiercely, as if they were going to devour Bai Guangen alive.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the so-called people who know the times are Junjie, don't you still understand the situation now? If you really follow our governor all the way to the dark, the heroes of Hongtang on the other side may be soft on our governor, but they may not really care about our martial artists. ”

At this time, there is also a deputy chief soldier who fell in a pool of blood, and the lesson from the past is here, Bai Guangen, a merciless and unrighteous person, would not dare to put his life on the side of the Hongtang soldiers.

"If you really care about the life of the governor, I advise you to put down your weapons now and obediently accept the constraints of the heroes of Hongmen."

After saying this, Bai Guangen turned his eyes to Yao Wenzhong again, and said to Yao Wenzhong with a somewhat stammering look: "The heroes of Hongmen, I, Bai Guangen, now abandon the darkness and abandon the darkness and the light!" ”

“……”

The look of disdain in Yao Wenzhong's eyes flashed away, although he was also not ashamed of such a trustworthy and unrighteous person, but what he was doing now, and at the same time reducing the great trouble and damage to himself, Yao Wenzhong could not accept this situation.

"Very good, Mr. Bai understands the righteousness, and now the meritorious deeds will be reported truthfully, and when the matter is over, where will Mr. Bai go, I will definitely have a good reward."

Yao Wenzhong quickly adjusted his emotions and nodded pertinently to Bai Guangen, while making promises to his actions on the spot.

"Then I, Bai Guangen, will thank you in advance here!"

Bai Guangen suddenly had a satisfied smile on his face, this was the reward he wanted to get in love, otherwise he would not have done such a rebellious act.

"Hurry up, my lords, what are you still rubbing, if you don't hurry up and put down your weapons, do you really not care about the life of Lord Gong?"

At the beginning, everything was still going according to plan, but after some smashing, Zuo Yiqian, who rushed forward to protect his belongings, was also taught a hard lesson by several strong men.

The two guys invited by the silk village did not dare to step forward to stop them, and the strong men who were red at the eyes of the dead hands, while smashing the goods in the village, the blood of Zuo Yiqian's beating was like an infusion, and they were unrecognizable.

Zuo Yiqian is also a tough guy, his entire net worth is in this Zhuangzi, now the economy is in recession, business is difficult to do, to be honest, he has no other more valuable goods besides this Zhuangzi.

After the weak and even this Zhuangzi was destroyed, it would be a catastrophe for Zuo Yiqian and his family.

In order to protect his property, Zuo Yiqian can be regarded as fighting with his life, and he stubbornly entangled one of the thugs who smashed the most powerfully, so that he could not use his hands and feet.

For these hungry and crazy thugs, and finally found a temporary job, at this moment, in order to complete the task and get the due remuneration, no one dares to steal and play tricks, although these two silver are now in the inflationary Suzhou, it is not much value, but at least they can buy a small half stone ration to maintain the life of a family of three for a month.

Moreover, for these thugs, their hearts are filled with anger and injustice: they have given up their dignity all day long for their livelihood and are like dogs who let people call and drink; For a job that requires them to work hard, they all need to squeeze their heads.

But look at the guy in front of them, because they are reincarnated well, they have no worries about food and clothing since they were born, and when others are still desperate for a mouthful of porridge, they are still thinking about bullying other people's wives and relatives.

The reason why the thugs have always kept these injustices deep in their hearts is because they still maintain a minimum of conscience and calm thinking.

However, when they break through the defense of conscience that they have built since childhood, what they may do next will be beyond their imagination.

Although it is forbidden to carry weapons among the people, in order to defend themselves, almost all of the five thugs present have a simple weapon: an iron needle with a sharp edge, and a kitchen knife full of rust marks that I don't know where to go.

The thug who was entangled, the first time he did this kind of thing, was very panicked, at this time he was worried that what he had done, he was likely to be bumped into by the government officials patrolling around, and at the same time, he was also very worried about the shopkeeper who was holding his left leg at his feet.

didn't think much about it, after the thug got rid of the entanglement several times to no avail, he raised his heart ruthlessly and pulled out the self-defense dagger from his long sleeve, and stabbed it without thinking about it!

"Ahh

At that time, I heard Zuo Yiqian's scream, and then a stream of blood followed the action of the thug who pulled out the dagger, and scattered it around, and suddenly a bloody breath gushed out.

"Y-What are you doing!"

The other four thugs who were busy robbing were also taken aback, and everyone was just here to teach the shopkeeper a lesson, but they didn't think about using knives.

In a hurry, in addition to reprimanding this confused accomplice, the only thing left was to hurry up and make another profit, take several rolls of exquisite silk in the Zhuangzi, and go away.

In fact, the wounds on Zuo Yiqian's body, how can they be so fatal, as a person who fell to the ground and hugged the perpetrator, most of the fatal flaws happened to be protected by the solid ground; And above its back, there is a bone shield composed of countless ribs and spine, and a dull dagger, where is it so easy to pierce.

It's just that this Zuo Yiqian has rarely been hurt, although he is well-informed as a shopkeeper, but he has never experienced a life-threatening thing like now.

When his murderer's dagger stabbed down, Zuo Yiqian instinctively blocked it with his left arm, and the piercing pain made him faint after a scream.

The two young guys in Zuo Yiqian's shop, after seeing the perpetrator escape from Zhuangzi, did not go to check the safety of the shopkeeper's life at the first time, but followed the way to escape from this Zhuangzi, but when they were fleeing for their lives, they did not forget to shout loudly in panic: "Killed!" Kill someone!! ”

The shouts of the guys quickly rippled in Xicheng District, and the people of Huaxia did not have much else, but their curiosity was extraordinarily strong, although it was likely that a murder had occurred, but there was always a bold person who took the lead and went to the silk shop where the murder occurred.
