"These guys were rescued by us from the White Lotus Sect's baggage camp, all of them are captured Ming soldiers from other places, looking at their appearance, most of them are recruits, and most of them have a good foundation, but they have eaten a few full meals, and they are honest one by one, they obey orders very well, and with a little training, they are all good soldiers. rane?n? ???．? ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? en'org" After Hou Qi asked his subordinates to intercept the business travelers, he pulled Yang Quan aside and whispered.

Hou Qi's meaning is very simple, he just wants to use these foot soldiers to divert Yang Quan's attention, today's appearance of Yang Quan, so that Hou Qi feels strange and even frightened, no one knows what Hou Qi knows, what is the concept of not sealing the knife for three days, in three days, the whole army will turn into a beast, this is not what Hou Qi wants to see, he believes that Yang Quan will not do such a thing, but the premise is that Yang Quan can calm down, as long as he is angry, Yang Quan will naturally not do it,

However, even in Hou Qi's opinion, it is still very cost-effective to save hundreds of people in this city from being slaughtered once.

"Oh, these soldiers are so good, why did they give them to the White Lotus Sect like this? Also, you took away so much baggage, can the head of the White Lotus Sect cavalry let us go? Yang Quan looked at the soldiers and asked with a frown.

Hou Qi looked at Yang Quan, who was attracted over, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly explained, "Most of these soldiers are young and strong among the recruited victims, you also know that our Ming army is different from our Tuntian Division, everyone is a soldier, they just adopt a small number of elite soldiers, and the rest of them are just a role of waving flags and shouting, how can you pay attention to being an official?"

Besides, the elite of our Ming Dynasty, if you don't run on the battlefield, you are already qualified, and you can't fight with the enemy without crying and fainting, even if you are a strong soldier, if you can compare it twice, this is an elite soldier, such an elite soldier, that is an important source of empty salary for the generals, how can they really train well?

As for the White Lotus Sect? You don't have to worry, now that cavalry general doesn't care about harassing us, he was frightened by our robbery once, where do you dare to stay here? I have already pulled out the grain and sent the grass. ”

Yang Quan breathed a sigh of relief, "These soldiers are all good soldiers, if we can take them back, it would be the best, but in the current situation, our two hundred cavalry, going back through Henan, it is already a little difficult, and ...... bring these hundreds of soldiers" Yang Quan muttered in a low voice.

But for a moment, Yang Quan came back to his senses, he glanced at Hou Qi, sighed, he understood what Hou Qi meant, he was afraid that he would become murderous, so he deliberately looked for this question to divert his thinking. However, how could his brother die in vain?

Yang Quan stretched out his hand and patted Hou Qi's shoulder, "Hou Qi, I know what you mean, in fact, today's situation, if there is a town within a radius of fifty miles, I will not have to compete with them, but this gatekeeper, knowing that we are wounded again, even stopped us, this is murdering the lives of my brothers." ”

Yang Quan took a long breath and glanced back at the carriage in the distance, followed by Hou Qilai's foot soldiers, who naturally knew how to heal. is there to treat Leng Zixing, who has fallen into a coma, but, without medicinal materials, these seem to be a little futile, Yang Quan turned to look at this Hou Qi, "Hou Qi, I can't watch our brother of Tun Tiansi really die like this in front of me, so, the people in this city must pay the price, besides, now these guys are still blocking us from entering the city, in this case, this town, we must break it!" ”

After saying that, Yang Quan turned around and shouted at the soldiers behind him, "Come on, artillery ready!" ”

The heavy artillery, pushed by a few foot soldiers with a creaking sound, moved to a position facing the city gate, and several foot soldiers hurriedly began to clean the barrels.

"Three pounds of charge, solid bullet flat shot!" Yang Quan looked at the non-standard operation of these foot soldiers, frowned, and continued to order.

The gunpowder was filled into the barrel by the soldiers in some hurry, and the soldier with the pestle in his hand next to him poked the wooden pole in his hand into the cannon and compacted the gunpowder, while the people behind him filled the green cannonball into the barrel. The officers such as the army commander who was in charge of giving orders next to him looked at Yang Quan and waved his hand, and immediately shouted at the soldiers under him

"Ready! Put! ”

"Boom, boom" The round cannon jumped up on the ground, knocking the iron hammer that was deep into the ground behind it into the air, and the whole cannon began to retreat a few meters, and then the muffled explosion of the cannon was heard.

As the cannon sounded, the wooden gate of the town in the distance suddenly flew with sawdust, and these seemingly unskilled artillerymen had already hit the gate of the town with just one shot. Through the smoke of this artillery, Yang Quan squinted his eyes and saw clearly that this artillery had punched a big hole in the city gate, and the soldiers behind the city gate were shouting in confusion.

The village soldiers on the city wall, one by one, looked at the gate that was blasted through, they are not veterans, they have all gone through bloody battles on the battlefield, and they have seen a lot of things such as artillery, but they have never seen such accurate shelling, just a shell, and it actually pierced the city gate!

However, Yang Quan was a veteran of the battle of life and death, he was just a little stunned, and immediately reacted, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers under him suddenly became excited, roared one by one, and rushed towards the gate of the city.

At this time, there was an old man on the city wall, he frowned and looked at the soldiers rushing under the city, and listened to the person next to him say this in detail, and suddenly his face became ugly, and the fat man, who had just been invincible, changed his face after seeing the old man, pulled his head, and stood honestly in front of the old man, the old man looked at the fat man, the disappointment in his eyes flashed, he didn't pay attention to the fat man, but turned to the people around him and said, "Let the people under him, Block the broken city gate for me, and in addition, quickly contact the other party to discuss and resolve the matter peacefully."

"Yes," the person standing behind the old man stood up suddenly, bowed his hand at the old man, slowly retreated, turned around for a while, and quickly quieted down under the chaos at the city gate.

"Come, quickly arrange for people to defend on this wall. Anyone who dares to slack off from work will be killed. Listening to the old man's order, the villagers on the city wall quickly began to deploy the weapons used for guarding along the city wall.

At this time, the old man turned around, stared at the fat man in front of him with his eyes, and gritted his teeth and said, "Today's incident, I don't need to say it, I already know everything, do you know how much trouble today's recklessness has caused to Maojiazhen!" ”
