readx;?“ Open the door! A forbidden soldier proudly slapped the peeling vermilion lacquer gate in front of the gate of the castle guard's mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info: Some people nearby were looking curiously at the mighty crowd, and more than 200 people were blocking the gate of the city guard's mansion.

"The forbidden army is doing business, it's okay to get started!" Several forbidden soldiers blasted away the people who were closer to each other, with a look of disdain. The common people naturally don't have a good face for these forbidden troops, as the saying goes, good iron is not nailed, good men are not soldiers, and these soldiers don't have many good things to eat. The people who were driven away walked away dissatisfied, and there was some scolding in their mouths, "An empty mansion is also so fanfare......"

"What?" The forbidden army leading the team was stunned, "What did you say?" He hurriedly pointed at the people who were muttering just now and shouted.

"I said that an empty mansion is also doing with such fanfare."

"Empty House?" Baihu couldn't believe it, his subordinates at this gate had just eaten firecrackers yesterday morning, why was it only a day, and there was no one in the house?

"Of course, all the people in the City Lord's Mansion left last night, and there were hundreds of them."

"All gone? That's it! Baihu couldn't help but feel a burst of joy, he was afraid that the people inside would set fire to it again, but now that he is gone, there is nothing to fear.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly pulled out his waist knife and waved it forward, "Hit the door for me, rush in, and kill me!" "Since they arrived at the port of Champa only the day before yesterday, this city lord should have started yesterday morning even if he packed his things, since they all fled last night, then there must be a lot of property in the house that has not had time to be transferred, as long as they plow carefully, they will definitely be able to find a lot of property. Now that he has the highest official position here, and he is a hundred households of the forbidden army, it would be good to let these soldiers guard the outer courtyard and search inside with the forbidden army.

More than a dozen soldiers appeared at the gate carrying a large log that they had found out of nowhere, and then began to bang the door with this big log.

This city lord's mansion has not been completed for a long time, so the gate is quite solid, and they hit it three or four times without leaving many traces on the door. Baihu couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and ordered more than ten forbidden soldiers to go to the back door with fifty or sixty box troops to see if the back door would be a little easier.

The soldiers took the order and left, and the side continued to bang on the gate with all their might.

After a while, two forbidden soldiers ran over from the east side, "My lord! My lord, the back door is open, and there is no one inside. ”

As he spoke, there was also the sound of opening the latch from behind the door, and several van soldiers who slammed the door couldn't stop, the wood hit the door, and the door bounced open to both sides. The soldiers who came from the backyard to open the door and the soldiers who slammed on the door rolled up the stairs. Immediately made the onlookers laugh, it seems that there will be jokes when chatting and blowing water in the future.

Although Baihu felt that he couldn't get over his face, his mind was not here, and there might be gold and silver everywhere inside, so he just waved his hand, "Go in and search!" ”

Walking into the courtyard, bypassing the shadow wall, you will see a stone courtyard covering an area of several acres, and in front of it is a flower hall, and the door of the flower hall is closed. A few anxious soldiers pierced the window paper and saw that there were still tables and chairs inside, and the four treasures of the study room on the table were neatly arranged, not like they were leaving in a hurry, and hurriedly pushed open the door of the flower hall.

No one noticed that a white cotton thread was pulled open behind the door of the flower hall, and the other end of the cotton thread was connected to a black iron box on the beam, and the cotton thread was pulled by a match, which was soon lit with a "snort", and then the match lit a fuse on the iron box.

"How can there be a thread here?" A janissary tugged at the thread curiously, and a lit match fell from the other end.

The colleagues next to him didn't look at him at all, and they arranged for the Xiang army to be on guard at the front door, and no one was allowed to enter. If we don't search for the property now, when they come in again, there will be nothing to be gained. Therefore, the forbidden soldiers were racing against time to open any door they could see, not even the thatched house.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the iron box on the beam of the flower hall suddenly erupted a long tongue of fire. This was not a white phosphorus incendiary bomb, but a directional mine. These directional mines use cast-iron semicircular boxes containing several hundred grams of explosives and 100 pieces of iron sand. The violent explosion immediately threw out a hundred pieces of iron sand in a semicircle, and all the people in this flower hall, whether it was tables, chairs and benches, were swept away by this flying iron sand, and a scream suddenly came from the room.

When the forbidden army who heard the sound rushed over, six or seven of the more than ten forbidden soldiers in the room had died, and the rest were all seriously injured, and one by one they either had broken limbs and legs or were bleeding profusely. These forbidden troops were the highest in the Annam army, and they were responsible for the defense of Hue, and they basically did not participate in the battle in peacetime, where had they seen such a bloody scene, and they were so frightened that their legs and feet were weak, and they rushed to flee out.

Immediately after that, there were also deafening explosions in several nearby houses, some of them were like stuffy jars, and some of them suddenly erupted countless flames, which could burn all the way inside when they fell on people, even the limbs could burn through, and more of them sprayed countless iron sand like in the flower hall. These rooms were smaller than the Flower Hall, and the iron sand shooting was very concentrated, and the forbidden soldiers who were swept were basically dead on the spot.

Now the people of the forbidden army were panicked, they had never seen such a battle, they didn't even see a single enemy, more than 30 people had died, and more than 10 people were seriously injured, is there such a battle in this world?

"What? People have long since run away? Ruan Mingfang couldn't help but feel as if he had been struck by lightning, "There is no one, and you still killed and injured fifty people for me?" ”

Baihu knelt down and didn't dare to speak, to be honest, he had never heard of such a battle, but at the moment, the organs of this city guard house are inevitably too weird, it is really not a person who has ever seen it, and it has to be that if someone enters, it will explode, and there is nothing to do if someone does not enter.

Ruan Mingfang walked around the room a few times with his hands behind his back, and then asked, "Where have those people gone?" ”

"I heard from the people that it seems to have gone to the Oriental Port Warehouse in the south of the city." Baihu said softly.

"What? Is there a warehouse in the city? Ruan Mingfang couldn't help but have a big head for a while, he also knew that the previous dismissal of the officials of Champa Port was too thorough, resulting in almost not even a local pass left, he was completely blind to Champa Port now, "Then don't hurry up and arrest people at the warehouse!" He couldn't help but pause and thought for a few seconds, "You go and ask everyone to gather, and I'll take them myself!" ”

Since they were originally going to concentrate their forces to attack the new army barracks, now both the forbidden army and the box army were gathered in the new army barracks, so it didn't take much time to gather the men, and now it only took them a quarter of an hour to assemble them, and at this moment, suddenly a crackling explosion was heard in the south of the city, followed by the chaotic screams of the crowd.

"What happened?" Ruan Mingfang is a little annoyed now, why is there everything? How did it come about? "Let's take a look."

Several officers of the Xiang Army pushed away the guards standing at the door and rushed in, panting and reporting to Ruan Minh Fang, "Big ...... My lord! The New Army ...... The New Army ...... Forces nouvelles ......"

Ruan Mingfang was in a state of confusion at this time, these people were still panting for breath on the completely inconsequential words, and they were furious for a while, and when they stepped forward, they slapped the officer who spoke in the face, "What are you panicking about?" Speak slowly! ”

The officer of the Xiang army finally straightened out his anger, and he didn't care about being slapped just now, and said hurriedly: "My lord! The new army is in chaos! ”

"Isn't the New Army here?" Ruan Mingfang once again felt that his brain was not enough.

"Back to my lord! It's the new army that escaped! ”

Ruan Mingfang was stunned for a moment, the fleeing new army should probably be about 100 people, and now the number of troops under its own jurisdiction in the city is 2,000, and if you really want to fight, you have a 20 to 1 advantage, isn't what these new troops are doing now with eggs hitting stones? But it's better to directly gather superior forces and annihilate them here than to cast a net to catch them later.

"Then gather all the men and horses immediately, and we will go and destroy these self-defeating people!" As he spoke, he shook off his official robe in a chic manner, got up and walked out.

Qian Longzhou was sitting in a big cart at this time, because the Senate assets and refugees had already been transferred at this time, now he had no burden at all, and the people who retreated with him were the people who withdrew from the New Army last night, and these New Army soldiers each carried two Senate rifles on their backs, and also carried two carts of ammunition. They don't leave their guns and ammunition to their colleagues who don't want to go with them, so they naturally carry them all. Many of the New Army soldiers wore 1628 revolvers on their waists, which were kept in stock at the Oriental Port Merchants' House. According to the evacuation plan, this batch of pistols and 9mm pistol cartridges are the last materials to be evacuated, because the veterans of the army staff and intelligence department feel that the Annan army may directly attack the Dongfang Port merchants, so retaining a batch of weapons that are easy to carry and relatively powerful as the last batch of evacuation can also provide more security, although these pistols are serious in the veterans, although they are scum, but in the street fighting, they can suppress the long-range firepower of the archers, Leaving the last evacuated Senate personnel as self-protection weapons can not only ensure the safety of personnel, but also give the Senate weapons a living advertisement.

At the front of the long evacuation procession were 20 soldiers of the New Army, along with two special investigators armed with 1 rifles, and in the middle was a convoy hundreds of meters long, and the huge carts filled the streets like ants moving. Swift horse sp-on scouts roamed the convoys, and if they encountered an enemy somewhere, they would quickly arrive and suppress or annihilate the enemy with their Bayi rifles. Qian Longzhou sat in the last cart, surrounded by more than fifty soldiers of the New Army, and Ruan Van Ngoc was next to him, holding a Senate rifle in his hand, looking around nervously, judging from the large hammer at the back of the barrel, it was already loaded with ammunition, ready to strike any enemy.

"These birdmen, don't forget to advertise at this time." Qian Longzhou couldn't help but look up with some chagrin to look at the flag hanging horizontally in front of the cart, which read, "The weapons of the Senate, ensure the safety of life!" ”
