Chapter 60: The Holocaust
"Chunbao Mountain", "Wuyi Mountain", "Sanjiangtang", "Hun Tianjiao", the salt lords waved all kinds of small flags, with their respective gangs as units, rushed into the downtown in clusters, smashing open the shops along the street one by one, gold and silver, silk, porcelain, foreign oil, candles... There is almost nothing they don't grab. Any resistance is a knife, and a shot in the chest.
Everyone in Yangzhou City is in danger, and the woman even took out cigarette ash from the stove and wiped it on her face, but this could not stop the already violent salt lord. The screams of children, the cries of women, the laughter of thugs, accompanied by the sparse sound of gunfire, came and went.
Gu Da Shopkeeper was dumbfounded as he ran towards Nanchenggen's house, he didn't expect that the salt lords under Xu Baoshan would be as cruel as a fight! He regretted a little, he shouldn't have coveted the position of the chief of civil affairs, after the bloodbath of the salt lords, is Yangzhou City still the original Yangzhou City of the Yangtze River Town? How should the shopkeepers and proprietors of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce view themselves? Even if he becomes the chief of civil affairs of the Yangzhou Military and Political Branch, what can he do? The people of Yangzhou and the salt lords of the Yangtze River, which one will listen to their orders?
As soon as he arrived at Nanchenggen, Gu Da's shopkeeper almost tripped over his head, and when he looked down, he saw the headless corpse of a woman, the corpse's clothes were torn to shreds, and his lower body and thighs were covered with blood. The miserable white body and black and red blood stains are shocking!
As soon as he reached the corner of the street, he saw dozens of thugs with blue tooth flags, their arms bulging with the soft of the robbery, and many people's bodies were splashed with blood. The leading thug screamed wildly while wiping a bloodstained ghost head knife with a woman's belly pocket: "Brothers of the Hall of Justice, follow the Lao Tzu Revolution!" ”
The other thugs chimed in unison, laughing and slamming the lacquered gate with the butt of their guns.
Gu Da Shopkeeper hurriedly rushed over, nodded and said, "Brothers of the Chunbaoshan Justice Hall, this is my home!" We're in this together! ”
The thug led by him glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and knocked him down with a punch in the chest: "Get out!" ”
Gu Dazhang knelt down with a puff, hugged his thigh and said, "Good man, this is my home!" I know your tiger master, and I sent you a letter! ”
The thug kicked him away and sneered: "If you talk nonsense, Lao Tzu will let you roll the knife face!" Then he turned around and shouted: "Brothers, this Yangzhou is a good place!" Our brothers drink the cold breeze on the river every day, and it is time to enjoy it for a few days! ”
A small minion next to him echoed: "What the eldest brother said is yes, the little ladies of this big family, all with fine skin and tender meat, are a hundred times stronger than the bitches in the earthen kiln hall!" ”
Gu Dazhang knelt on the ground and kowtowed like a chicken eating rice: "Everyone, you can't!" No, I can't! ”
The thug didn't pay attention to him, smashed open the door and broke in, and soon there was a woman's heart-rending cry inside, and then a "bang" gunshot, and the crying stopped abruptly!
Gu Da shopkeeper knelt on the ground and kept pumping his mouth: "I'm not human!" I'm a brute! ”
He stood up suddenly, laughed wildly and rushed to the stone lion at the door, and then fell limply at the door of the house!
The stone lion's eyes were stained with blood gushing out, and it flowed down the blue-black body!
It seems that it is also shedding blood and tears!

Salt transport envoy yamen
Xu Baoshan sat on a Taishi chair, squinting at the battle in the distance. More than 300 bandits attacked several times, but they did not break the yamen of the salt transport envoy. The two ten-barreled Grimm cannons on the wall of the circle put a lot of pressure on the salt owl, and the barrels of the guns "swallowed" and swirled, shooting out fire snakes one after another, blocking the two roads, and the filthy corpses of the salt owls were piled up in the streets.
The Red Flag Lao Wu, who was in charge of the torture hall, said with a bitter face: "Lord Tiger, the firepower of the yamen is too fierce, and the brothers have suffered heavy casualties!" ”
Xu Baoshan smiled coldly and said, "What's the matter, scared?" Thanks to your Red Flag No. 5 and still known as the River Dragon, where did you go? ”
The fifth red flag was provoked by him, threw his braid to his neck, bit the braid in his mouth, brandished his pistol and shouted: "Brothers, rush with me!" ”
Xu Baoshan grabbed him and said disdainfully: "You are rushing like this, aren't you looking for death?" ”
The fifth red flag was puzzled: "Master Tiger, what do you say?" ”
Xu Baoshan pointed to a big tree in the distance and said: "See, it's condescending there, find two brothers with good marksmanship, and knock out those two Green cannons first..." I don't think there are many defenders here, but they are only powerful with firearms! ”
The eyes of the fifth red flag lit up, and he shouted at the bandits: "Three old crooked, six leather craftsmen, give Lao Tzu that tree!" Dumb the cannon on the wall! ”
The two sturdy bandits climbed the tree like apes, glanced at the patrol battalion soldiers who were firing on the wall from a distance, and raised their guns to shoot, only to see that the machine gun shooter's head burst into blood, and the head fell down. The handle of the secondary shooter was shaking vigorously, and he was caught off guard by being shot in the shoulder, and he also fell off the wall, and was chopped into meat sauce by several bandits.
Another shooter, who was using a machine gun, saw that his comrade was shot, turned around in fright and ran, and was hit by a bullet in the back, and was knocked out of the wall by the huge impact force, and his brain burst and died.
The fifth red flag jumped out of hiding and shouted: "Brothers, rush with me!" Lay down the salt transport envoy yamen, and the brothers are happy for three days! ”
When the rioters heard this, their anger, which had been suppressed by the machine guns, was suddenly re-energized, and they rushed forward with ladders and sparse bullets on the wall.
A dog-headed military advisor said in a low voice: "Lord Tiger, aren't we ready to join the revolutionary party?" According to the old rule, the knife will be sealed after three days, right? ”
Xu Baoshan smiled with satisfaction: "Revolution? Haha, revolution is good! If you don't revolutionize, Lao Tzu can't enter Yangzhou City! Then he pointed to the bandits around him and said, "Look, if you don't let them be happy, won't these children poke a hole in the sky?" Don't suffocate these kids! ”
····· Dividing Line·····
On the wall of the Yamen, Sun Tiansheng ran like crazy, shouting, his voice had split, and he was almost hoarse.
More than a dozen soldiers of the patrol battalion hid behind the wall buttresses and "ping-pong" their guns, and the air was filled with the smell of white smoke and gunpowder.
A soldier shot down a bandit who was trying to climb the wall, but was hit in the neck by a stray bullet and planted against the wall with his throat clutched. Anyone who fell was cut into a pulp without exception.
Fortunately, the mobs were backward in their weapons, most of them were still spears, broadswords and other cold weapons, and the more than 300 people besieging the yamen only had dozens of old foreign guns, most of which were still antique front-loading guns, and the bandits' marksmanship was very bad, basically the level of indiscriminate shooting of birds. However, the marksmanship of the patrol battalion is not much better than theirs, and just now with two Green guns, they barely had the upper hand with firepower. Now both shooters are dead, the others don't know how to use machine guns at all, there are still two guns on the wall, but there is not a single artilleryman. At the moment, there are only a dozen or so Manlixia guns to fight against the hundreds of bandits below.
From the top of the wall, the sporadic firelight rose in Yangzhou City, gradually connecting into a piece, and the smoke column rose high. The smell of burnt paste could be heard in the distance.
After robbing and killing, the salt lord began to set fire!
Yangzhou, a prosperous place of fat powder, suddenly became a ghost in the world.
