Chapter 70: Three Bastards [Ask for Collection]
ps: The first update, today is still the third watch.
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
"Boom ......"
......, six rings in a row. The six tiger squatting cannons were fired at one time, and the smoke filled the left and right batteries, and the overwhelming black dots also covered the heads of the fleeing green battalion soldiers and militia groups.
Screams rang out one after another.
These green battalion soldiers and militia soldiers who were held by fear and their hearts were unlucky, and their brains were burst directly by stone bullets, their arms and legs were broken, or they fainted with their heads broken and bleeding after being hit by mud bullets, and those who were lucky were only beaten by mud bullets and howled wolf howls, but they were still able to spread their feet and run away quickly.
Xu Shilian couldn't bear to close his eyes, and the officers and soldiers of the Ruzhou battalion beside him were glaring at Li Zhao and the others like fire in their eyes while their eyes were tearing. Good information from the militia group, they have made the Ruzhou camp miserable!
In dozens of angry eyes, the cold sweat on the foreheads of Li Zhao and the others dripped down, and the sky was pitiful, they really didn't know that the Chen family could have six earth cannons. This is a cannon, not a shotgun!!
The latter is in the hands of many powerful families in Ruzhou, but the earth cannon has long withdrawn from the historical stage of Ruzhou. Who would have thought that the Chen family would take out six doors at one time???
Fall back! This battle cannot be so big, and retreat is necessary.
Xu Shilian returned to the camp without showing any anger, and immediately thundered, although he immediately took the lead and fled, and luckily received two mud bombs but only found the boss with two bruises and two pieces of flesh on his body.
"Mud bombs!?"
In the entire military tent, a group of officers of the Ruzhou battalion raised a big "? ”。 Why is that?
"My lord, is the Chen family unwilling to take over the blood feud with us?"
A group of people thought about it, and only thought of this one reason that could not be put on the surface, which can be regarded as a reasonable inference. The Chen family is unwilling to take over the mortal feud with the Ruzhou battalion!! Otherwise, the Chen family only needs to replace the mud bombs with gravel when they fire the artillery, and the 50 or so people invested in this attack by the Ruzhou battalion are afraid that they will be finished.
"Your Excellency!"
The air pressure in the military tent rose little by little, only the general who was kneeling on the ground was still pale, he took the lead in escaping, Xu Shilian could cut him if he was ruthless.
The quilt-like curtain was lifted, and a soldier who came in said with an anxious face: "My lord, the thief opened the gate, pushed back the six shield carts, and arrested people back." ”
The attacking troops who were beaten by the six cannons of the Chen family were not kind enough to take care of those wounded soldiers and those who had passed out. There are also volunteers like Liang Zhiqiang who were so frightened that they shrank under the shield car, and these people all became prisoners of war of the Chen family. There are also a large number of knives and guns, which are also to be cleaned up by the Chen family.
When Xu Shilian rushed from the camp to the fort, Li Zhao, Xu Pengqiu and other leaders of the militia group also arrived. A person with a pale face looked at the Chen family generously collecting prisoners, wounded, knives and guns and other equipment, and even a group of people were changing the city gate with a clanging sound.
The east gate of Fenghuangtai was tightly blocked by them with stones inside, and the original gate had long been smashed by the artillery shells of the Qing army. After this battle, Chen Ming felt that the Ruzhou battalion had also learned a lesson, considering that he needed to make more contact with the Qing army in the next two days, he couldn't sit in a hanging basket or move away stones every time he went out, so he asked people to repair the gate. Chen Ming is very confident in the force of Fenghuangtai, even if his calculation is not successful in the end, will the Ruzhou battalion and the militia dare to come to the Chen family's tiger whiskers again?
While Chen Jiajun was swaggering outside to pack up the spoils of war, Chen Ming was interrogating the captured volunteers, Minzhuang, and green battalion soldiers. Liang Zhiqiang spread on the ground like a bone worm and asked what to say.
There were 400 soldiers in the green battalion, and the rest were all people who were recruited with the army. Tumenji is safe and sound, and after the militia suffered a big loss in Fenghuangtai, they did not dare to play tricks in Tumenji at all. The Ruzhou battalion had just arrived, and I heard that there was no disaster in Tumenji.
The Ruzhou battalion dragged two cannons. He didn't know the specific ammunition, but it was true that the Ruzhou battalion only had two small cannons.
In the evening, a green battalion soldier with a white veil wrapped in his head limped out of the Phoenix Terrace, and the unlucky green battalion soldier who was hit by mud bullets broke his head and was bleeding and dizzy, limped to the fort for a few words, and was sent to the camp by the commander of the fort.
Xu Shilian looked at the envelope in his hand, his face was grim, and he waved his hand first to let the wounded soldier go down to rest, and only opened the envelope after half a ring. A thousand thoughts swirled through his mind, but he eventually succumbed to reality.
The content of the letter was as Xu Shilian expected, the Chen family was willing to 'hide in Funiu Mountain honestly', and the Ruzhou battalion and militia could announce to the outside world that they had broken the main force of the Chen family, and only a few remnants of the Chen family fled into Funiu Mountain. As long as the people in Ruzhou can acquiesce in the existence of the Chen family, the Chen family guarantees not to cause any trouble to the state government. In addition, dozens of heads can be given to the Ruzhou camp to invite merit, and a sum of silver can be given as a 'reward'.
This condition cannot be described as insincere, Xu Shilian is very tempted, because Phoenix Terrace is too difficult to bite. Thinking about the price he needed to pay to win the Phoenix Terrace, he softened. It's just that to do this well, Xu Shilian must communicate with Wang Jun, Li Zhao, Chang Rui, etc.
The battle was ugly, and that's all it had to be. Do you really want the governor Yamen to transfer Nanyang's soldiers?? Is that necessary? The big things have turned into small things, can't you just cover them? At most, it's a big one!
Hanzhong, Yunyang, Xiangxi, Sichuan, there are many places in the Qing Dynasty that do not obey the king's law. There is not much more Chen family! This is also the 'rule' of local officials.
Chen Ming waited for Xu Shilian's reply in the Phoenix Terrace, but he also knew that this matter could not be ok in a day or two. If Li Xiaomei didn't have to give birth to him, Chen Ming would be very patient to wait here. But the problem is that there is Li Xiaomei, his wife is about to give birth to a baby, Chen Ming and others, who are anxious and angry, and their temper is soaring!
Time passed day by day.
The two Weiyuan general cannons of the Qing army had long ceased to sound, and the two sides fell into a silent battle again. It's just that the air pressure in the Phoenix Terrace and the Qing army camp is the same, especially on October 12, the cold air coming out of Chen Ming's body can make people shiver from three feet apart. Because this day is the day when Li Xiaomei is pregnant with a full moon in October. But he had to be nailed to the phoenix platform, and he couldn't move a single step.
As for the low air pressure in the camp of the Qing army, it was normal, and the battle was defeated. Not only is the air pressure low, but the morale is also very low.
On the same day, in the Yali of Lushan County, Chang Rui welcomed the arrival of Wang Zhizhou, Li Zhoutong and Xu Dusi with the warmest hospitality. If the Quartet drinks this meal, it is equivalent to reaching an agreement. It's just that the smile on Chang Rui's face never reached the bottom of his eyes, and when the others returned to the backyard, the smile on his face immediately turned into a fierce hideous.
Wang Jun, Li Zhao, and Xu Shilian, the three bastards, couldn't even defeat a small Chen family with the power of Quanzhou, and they still wanted to negotiate peace with them and reach a tacit understanding to settle this matter. Where do these three bastards put the majesty of the court and the dignity of the officials?
"Just wait!!" Chang Rui's eyes flashed with a compelling essence.
