Chapter 248: A Fire Breaks Out in the Backyard
The front hall of the county government was already in a mess, almost all the corpses lying on the ground were Jin Chaoqun's guards, and there were occasionally a few fast sword and shield soldiers on Su Yi's side who were cut down by the other party, but other than that, there were basically no big casualties.
Jin Chaoqun's personal weapons are quite sophisticated, all equipped with swords and light armor, and some are even equipped with inferior armor, but these people are too demoralized, and they were rushed by the fierce force army to flee in all directions, and then surrounded by sword and shield soldiers, becoming a group of lambs to the slaughter.
Even so, this group of pro-soldiers is also the most elite force in Wuyuan County, even they can't stop the bandits in Peach Blossom Village, not to mention the guards in other places, Scar and the cavalry rushed all the way through the streets, almost unhindered.
Gao Heihu was covered in blood, and at this time, there were suddenly several loud noises in the backyard of the county government, Su Yi subconsciously stepped back, he was shocked in his heart, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
As he expected, after a few loud bangs, several wrestlers who rushed to the front were pushed back by a strange force. After Gao Heihu saw their appearance clearly, he immediately gritted his teeth in anger, these few of the most brave wrestlers under his command were shot into a hornet's nest by thick sharp arrows, and even several sharp arrows pierced their bodies, and the thick arrows even nailed to the shields of the sword and shield soldiers behind them.
"What's going on?" Su Yi asked in surprise.
What came back to him was the sound of countless tears breaking through the air, and then a row of sword and shield soldiers in front of him were shot upside down by the thick arrows from the opposite side!
Gao Heihu roared: "The other party has a heavy crossbow!" ”
Su Yi was shocked, he didn't expect that there was a heavy machine crossbow hidden in the opponent's rear office, the heavy machine crossbow has always been one of the most powerful heavy weapons used to defend the city, the power is huge, and a frontal shot can even shoot the enemy away!
Su Yi didn't have time to think about why Jin Chaoqun would hide such a heavy weapon in the county office, and hurriedly ordered Gao Heihu to summon the sword and shield soldiers who rushed forward. There is no point, only to re-line the attack, there is a silver chance.
The red-eyed Gao Heihu was pulled back by a few wrestlers, Su Yi had a gloomy face, he was still too light on the enemy, at this time the enemy occupied the narrow entrance of the rear ya, and there was a heavy crossbow to defend, it was simply easy to defend and difficult to attack, quite tricky.
Just when Su Yi was at a loss, suddenly billowing smoke came out of the back office. Then countless heart-rending cries came from the back office!
Su Yi and Gao Heihu looked at each other, not knowing what happened to the rear office, but this was undoubtedly the best moment to attack, Su Yi immediately asked the sword and shield soldiers to line up in formation, line up in a shield formation, and advance in an orderly manner.
Seeing this, Gao Heihu did not hesitate. With a roar, he led the Luxes to rush towards the men dressed as family members......
Su Yi looked coldly at the back office that was constantly emitting thick smoke, and a trace of fire suddenly flashed in the thick billowing building! Then the crackling sound continued to sound, and then the sky above the entire county government was lit by fire as if it were day.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and Su Yi had to withdraw from the county government with his subordinates. During this period, the sword and shield soldiers and wrestlers captured many panicked enemies, and these enemies threw away their weapons and fled from the rear office, but the wrestlers and sword and shield soldiers who were suppressed by the heavy machine crossbow and could barely raise their heads were all red-eyed. frantically pounced on these men dressed as family members, and suddenly the knives flew everywhere, and these people escaped from the fire. Just when he was frightened, he was cut into four or five sections, or even seven or eight sections.
The intensity of the battle even exceeded the battle in front of the county yamen!
Gao Heihu carried a giant mace and said viciously: "When Jin Chaoqun's dog thief escapes, Lao Tzu will smash his head with a stick!" ”
Su Yi said lightly: "Maybe he has already escaped." ”
Gao Heihu's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked in disbelief: "How is it possible, this county government is in a sea of fire, so Jin Chaoqun can escape in this situation?" ”
Su Yi said: "There is nothing impossible, this Jin Chaoqun can become the overlord of a county, he naturally has his extraordinary ability, and there will be no shortage of means for people like him to save their lives, maybe this fire was deliberately put by him, the purpose is to create chaos, so as to take the opportunity to escape." ”
Gao Heihu immediately roared: "I'll take someone around to the backyard to intercept him!" ”
Su Yi waved his hand and said, "No, the county government has been broken, and it's useless to keep Jin Chaoqun, it doesn't matter if he is dead or alive." I'm just sorry for those heavy machine crossbows, this fire, I'm afraid these heavy weapons defending the city have been reduced to ashes, hey......"
Su Yi shook his head, looking quite pitiful.
"Let them count the battlefield, the prisoners are well guarded!" Su Yi said coldly: "Now that we have just developed the Southern Barren Forest, it is a time when there is a shortage of labor, and these captives are just pulling them to the South Barren Forest to work as coolies!" Pay attention to these people when you count the battlefield, and if you see an enemy with a weapon, you will be killed! ”
"Yes!" Gao Heihu replied loudly.
A smile appeared on the corner of Su Yi's mouth, although there are not many soldiers and horses in Wuyuan County, and there are not many high-grade soldiers, there will definitely be no shortage of money and food. Jin Chaoqun is a local tyrant, he has accumulated a lot of wealth in the past, after he became the city lord, the money, food and jewelry he has accumulated will only increase, although some of these things will be transported out of the city by him and hidden, but Su Yi believes that most of them are still in the city.
Sure enough, after Gao Heihu led people to extinguish the fire in the county office, when the rear government counted the corpses of the enemy, Jin Chaoqun's body was not found. Although many of the corpses were burned beyond recognition, some of Jin Chaoqun's personal soldiers went up to identify them, and they all thought that Jin Chaoqun's body was not among them.
A total of more than 20,000 pieces of gold and silver were copied from the county government, and there were many calligraphy, paintings and antiques. Of course, compared to the wealth of the Jin family, these silver coins are just the tip of the iceberg.
Su Yi ordered all the bandits to collect the enemy's armor and weapons, these soldiers were wearing light armor, and their defensive power was barely okay, as for those swords, they were one of the weapons that were currently in short supply in the cottage.
Six hundred swords were captured, four hundred pairs of light armor and various leather armor were attacked, and the rest were all badly damaged, Su Yi asked his subordinates to put them away, and these tattered armors were brought back to the cottage and handed over to the armor maker of the cottage to be reassembled.
When the heavy machine crossbows were shipped out, they had been burned to the ground, and Su Yi sighed and asked Gao Heihu to lead people to smash the burned and broken heavy machine crossbows into pieces.
"Brothers, come with me to ransack the Jin family!" Su Yi raised the ghost-headed broadsword in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Ransack the Jin family!" When the thieves heard this, they all shouted excitedly, and the captives who were held aside turned pale when they saw this. (To be continued.) )
