Changle County in Qingzhou Prefecture, adjacent to Laizhou Prefecture, is a traffic artery between the two prefectures, connected by a wide post road. In normal times, on the road between Qingzhou Mansion and Laizhou Mansion, there should be an endless stream of pedestrians, and business travelers will rush at night. But now, there are no pedestrians in sight. The reason is very simple, a hundred miles east of Changle County, is Wei County, the capital of Laizhou. And now, Laizhou Mansion is already a territory controlled by anti-thieves.

The storm of rebellion in Laizhou has seriously affected here. The big families in Changle County, including the county order, have already gone into hiding in Qingzhou City. Only a few people who remain here are not afraid of death. Changle County used to have about 20,000 or 30,000 people, but now there are less than 15,000. Of course, there are also many people who are welcoming the arrival of the anti-thieves. They even openly raised the banner of support for the Tiger Army.

For such people, the Ming army stationed in Changle County did not hesitate to arrest them, cut off their heads with a knife, and then set fire to their houses. The Ming army hung the heads of the people who had been cut off on wooden poles for public display. String after string, magnificent. Because there were too many kills, and they all cut off their necks with one knife, the Ming army stationed in Changle County gave him the nickname "Liu Yidao".

At this moment, the murderous head Liu Yidao, with a heart of seven up, stood on the head of the city of Changle County, staring at the field to the east. In the dark, I couldn't see any movement, but Liu Yidao felt that there would be something big tonight. He subconsciously felt that the Tiger Army was very likely to take action tonight. He only had 500 Ming troops under his command, and if the thieves killed them, they would definitely not be able to stop them.

Their only hope was that Zhang Zhun would not attack Changle County. Or maybe they were able to escape before Zhang Zhun attacked Changle County. If there was an order from above to evacuate Changle County, it would be even more perfect. It's a pity that all hope quickly came to naught. Because, suddenly, he noticed an unusual sound.

In the darkness, there was a very strange sound, as if the earth was quietly shaking. The vibrations were transmitted wave after wave, and they were continuous. The shock was initially very mild, but later became more and more intense. First of all, the Ming army in charge of vigilance felt that something was wrong, and then the Ming army in their sleep also began to feel that something was wrong, and they all got up one after another, with a trace of panic, and looked closely at the east of Changle County. Such a tremor was apparently coming from the east. And to the east, is Laizhou Mansion, which is the stronghold of anti-thieves.

The general manager Liu Yidao was also sweating palms, and he was very worried about the arrival of the overwhelming army of anti-thieves. If the anti-thief army really comes, any wave can completely submerge Changle County. Judging by his experience, the anti-thief army is usually dispatched by thousands or even tens of thousands of people, and even more exaggerated hundreds of thousands. In the past, when we smelled incense and taught violence*, the number of rioters was very large. To be able to cause such a strong vibration to the earth, the number of anti-thieves must not be small.

The shaking of the earth became stronger and clearer. The dust on the city's head was already beginning to fall. The shooting holes between the battlements were also constantly falling dust. On the top of the stairs on both sides of the city wall, layers of dust kept jumping, bouncing down from the upper steps to the next steps, as if they were playing a band. Even the torch next to it felt such a vibration, and the flames jumped violently. The sleeping people in the city also woke up at this time.

"Cavalry?"

Someone whispered.

That's right, it's the cavalry! Experienced people know that only cavalry can inflict such an effect. Moreover, the number of cavalry will not be less, at least more than a thousand! The other Ming soldiers suddenly turned pale and their hearts were like ashes. Where did the cavalry come from? Could it be the cavalry of the Tiger Army? At this time, who else appeared in the east, except for the cavalry of the Tiger Army? Even the most optimistic person would not guess that it was the cavalry of the Ming army that crossed the Laizhou Mansion to get here?

Almost as they were thinking so, at the end of the torch light, a dense cavalry contingent appeared. When they first appeared, they were only a handful of riders, like ghosts that had suddenly appeared in the darkness. Soon, however, more cavalry appeared like a tidal wave. Because they were wearing gray military uniforms, it was difficult to see in the dark, and from a distance, they looked like a group of ghosts that were constantly shaking.

Sure enough, it's all cavalry!

appeared in front of Changle County, and it was really the cavalry of the Tiger Army!

Liu Yidao's inner shock can be imagined. The Tiger Ben Army actually has so many cavalry, so what's the point? Originally, the Tiger Ben Army was very difficult to deal with, and even the Tartars were not the opponents of the Tiger Ben Army. Now, the Tiger Ben Army actually has so many cavalry. Isn't it as simple as multiplying combat effectiveness? It seems that the target of the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army is not only Changle County, but also Qingzhou City behind.

It's over!

This time it's absolutely over!

Liu Yidao kept wailing in his heart.

There are so many cavalry in the Tiger Army, even if they escape from the city, they can't escape the pursuit of the cavalry! Two legs, how can there be four legs fast? Liu Yidao's original plan was to make a little show, resist for a while, and then take the opportunity to evacuate. Now it seems that this is not possible!

"Boss, what are we going to do?"

The officer of the Ming Army asked Liu Yidao with a pale face.

"How do I know?"

Liu Yidao replied angrily.

With so many cavalry coming from the Tiger Army, it was a matter of encircling Changle County, and they had no chance to run out at all. What's more, even if they had a chance to run out, in the open field outside, would they be the opponents of the cavalry? Without the cover of the city walls, they have only one way to die! The rolling torrent of the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army can easily drown them all!

"Or do we surrender?"

The officer of the Ming Army said it directly.

The other Ming army officers also kept nodding their heads.

"Look behind you!"

"Look at the head hanging from the pole."

"If any of you are willing to surrender, I will not stop you, but don't drag me on!"

Liu Yidao said coldly.

The other Ming army officers were speechless.

Before the arrival of the Tiger Army, they had killed a lot of people in the city, and now these heads are all hanging on wooden poles for public display. A wooden pole has ten heads, and there are at least twenty or thirty such poles. If they surrender to the Tiger Army, the Tiger Army will definitely hand them over to the people of Changle County to deal with. When the time comes, their fate ...... They couldn't imagine what would happen if they fell into the hands of those angry people.

It's impossible to escape, and surrender is death, there is no way but to resist. Those Ming army officers had no choice but to leave. Some people suddenly went crazy, drew their waist knives, and slashed everywhere. The blade of the knife slashed the stones into sparks. As soon as the person next to him was not careful, he was hacked to death. Others, brandishing knives, rushed towards the houses of the residents.

They want to vent hard before they die. They want to commit adultery, they want to kill, they want to go completely crazy before they perish. Soon, the screams of women and the sounds of fighting were heard in many houses. The screams of girls, the cries of children, the pleading of adults, and so on. Everyone around was alarmed. Some people the guys and fight with these crazy officers.

In the chaos, it is not known who started setting fire to the city. Someone's house was burned, and there was a burst of fire. The burning house quickly spread and eventually became a large fire, which continued to spread in all directions. Someone tried to put out the fire, but was killed by the Ming soldiers who had fallen into madness. Those crazy Ming soldiers kept lighting more torches and throwing them into more houses. Soon, the entire houses in Changle County were set on fire. The raging fire lit up the sky for half a day, and all around, it seemed to be blazing.

Liu Yidao turned a blind eye to everything in front of him.

He's looking for an escape. Actually, he still has a little fantasy. He fantasized that the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army might not attack Changle County. Perhaps, they were just passing by. For the cavalry, there was no need for them to attack Changle County at all. Really, the cavalry bypassed from the side, there was no problem at all.

"Passing by."

"Hopefully they're passing by."

"God forbid, they must be passing by."

Liu Yidao muttered to himself in his heart, praying desperately.

However, he soon realized that God did not hear his prayers, or he heard them, but he was not able to respond to them. The Tiger Cavalry stopped outside. The cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army stopped, which meant that they were about to attack the city. The cavalry, of course, would not attack the city directly, and the horses could not fly to the walls. However, after dismounting, they were ready to attack the city.

At the head of the city in Changle County, a Ming army stood up in a flash, trying to see the movement outside. This Ming soldier held a wooden shield in his left hand and a waist knife in his right hand. He held his shield in front of his chest in order to block damage that could come from ahead. Liu Yidao recognized this Ming army, this guy was the most ferocious murderer, and with the waist knife in his hand, he killed three families in a row, a total of more than 30 people, even the newborn baby. Even Liu Yidao felt that this guy had gone completely crazy.

The sharp-eyed Yuwen Hantao raised his hand to shoot.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, and the Ming army suddenly fell to the ground, and the waist knife and shield in his hand fell to the side. After the shield hits the ground, it continues to roll forward like a wheel. Scroll all the way to the staircase and continue down the staircase. The shield jumped down one by one, like a doll jumping down the stairs. As the shield rolled faster, the sound grew louder and louder, and it felt like it was about to explode. Sure enough, the shield rolled down to the last step, and with a bang, it shattered, and splinters flew everywhere.

At the place where the Ming army fell, blood flowed all over the ground. It turned out that Yuwen Hantao's bullet just hit his skull. Although there was no headshot, it was a fatal shot. Who told him to poke his head out first?

Liu Yidao was taken aback and hurriedly hid behind the city wall. The rest of the Ming army also hurriedly hid behind the battlements, not daring to move in the slightest. The atmosphere is suffocating and insane. Suddenly, another Ming army stood up. But an equally murderous fellow. He's probably losing his mind, and he's about to shoot out with his three-eyed gun.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Several gunshots rang out in succession.

The Ming soldier was shot several times in the upper body and fell to the ground, covered in blood. However, the three-eyed torch in his hand had already been lit, and it was about to be shot soon. Originally, the three-eyed gun was fired in turns, and after one shot, another shot was fired, otherwise, the recoil was still relatively strong, and it was difficult to control the head. However, this fierce guy actually lit the fire rope at the same time.

He was going to shoot at the cavalry of the Tiger Army, but before the three-eyed gun could be shot, it had already fallen. What's even worse is that the position where the muzzle of the three-eyed gun is aimed at is exactly the Ming army next to it. Once the three eyes are fired, they will all be covered in a rain of bullets. Those Ming soldiers were taken aback and hurriedly avoided them.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Three gunshots rang out in a row, and the three-eyed gun really exploded.

Due to the effect of recoil, the direction of the three-eyed gun is changed every time it explodes. Therefore, the direction in which it shoots, is completely disorganized. Pity the Ming troops who fled, avoided the first shot, but they couldn't avoid the next two shots.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Ahh

The nearby Ming army screamed.

In the chaos, it is not known how many Ming soldiers were wounded. Anyway, the scene was very chaotic, and there was blood everywhere. After the gunshots, at least five or six people fell screaming. In such a short distance, being hit by a three-eyed gun, the consequences can be imagined. Sometimes the three-eyed gun is filled with not a single projectile, but a handful of iron sand. Such a three-eyed gun is equivalent to three shotguns, which can control a large range. In this way, it is even worse, one shot goes out, the iron sand flies sideways, and everyone in the shooting range will be affected. If the distance between them is more than ten zhang, it will be fine, but they are within ten zhang.

When the Ming army was fleeing, they stood up in a panic, forgetting that there were snipers from the Tiger Army outside. As a result, their bodies were immediately exposed. The Tiger Ben army outside the city is closely monitoring the movements of the city. The torches at the top of the city were bright, just enough for them to shoot at these targets accurately. Now the target, of course, they will not be polite.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Sure enough, sporadic gunshots rang out.

Almost every time a gun rang out, a Ming soldier fell to the ground at the head of the city.

The Tiger Ben Army was so fierce that the other Ming troops were suddenly scattered. Taking advantage of the fact that the Tiger Ben army had not yet surrounded the west, they fled out of the city one after another. As for whether the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army would chase after them, they didn't bother to think about it. Anyway, if you stay in the city, there is only one way to die, and if you escape from the city, there may be a way to live. If there is any pothole or something outside the city, drill into it and be a ground mouse.
