Chapter Eighty-Three: Two Letter Cannons
Seeing dozens of horsemen coming, Yin Zhu hurriedly drew his saber and shouted, "Brothers, someone is sneaking up and blocking them!" ”
The escort of the escort vehicle had just rushed up to more than 300 people, and now there were more than 400 left, including more than 40 cavalrymen. If there are no horses on this side, the cavalry alone kills the infantry, and it is a surprise attack, and the infantry will be difficult to resist without forming a formation. Fortunately, there are horses, and the guards are also well-trained, and when they see this situation, they will be ordered to urge the horses to catch up.
The experience of the thousand general manager is even richer, he drew his weapon, beat the horse to personally supervise the battle, and commanded: "Prepare the archers, as soon as the enemy approaches, shoot immediately!" ”
The archers who accompanied the army jumped on the mule carts, occupied high points, and drew their bows and arrows. At this point, the cavalry of the two strikes had already moved. Yin Zhu also saw the enemy situation clearly, the other party was all dressed in the green forest, there were about fifty horses, and the weapons in his hands were disorderly, but his skills were quite good. For martial arts, fighting alone, the protector is definitely not an opponent, but the protector is good at coordinated combat, dozens of cavalry are connected together, and when the other party is blocked, the two fight together, and fight in a group.
The cavalry moved, life and death were divided in a moment, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people on both sides fell off their horses.
This side is fighting, and in the path where the cavalry rushed just now, hundreds of men in strong suits rushed in. This group of people danced with knives and guns, and shouted loudly: "Kill! We can't let people take away our ancestral possessions! Brothers, fight with them! ”…… Such a voice seems to be very infectious, the Zhang clan on the other end is fighting with the officers and soldiers, more than 100 have been cut and hacked to death, the fighting spirit is gradually depressed, and many people have the idea of escaping. Because of this shout, everyone's fighting spirit immediately rose again. At this juncture, two more men dressed as nurses in the crowd shouted: "Clansmen, our helpers are here!" Rush over and take back our ancestral property! ”…… It may be that the fight was too intense, and the people of the Zhang clan didn't even think about what the new gang of people were doing, and they didn't realize how the Zhang family still had such a group of people. was hot-headed for a while, and even more desperately rushed forward. There were old and young, men and women, and the men were in the front, and the old and women and children were behind, but they could see their sons and men being injured and killed, and these old and young women and children were also anxious, and they squeezed to the front with all their strength.
Some officers and soldiers saw that the other party was a woman, and the knife was raised, but it stopped in the air and did not fall, but at this time, the woman took advantage of this moment, rushed to the soldier's body, and hit the soldier with a single punch, and even grabbed and bitten.
The hundreds of men who had just arrived seemed to be very shrewd, and when they were about to come within range of the archers, they all stopped and shouted loudly. "Clansmen, rush to the side of the convoy and snatch our ancestral property back!"
After they finished shouting, there was immediately a guard in the crowd of the Zhang clan who shouted: "Clansmen, rush!" Rush to the convoy and get our ancestral property back! ”
For the sake of ancestral property, for the relatives who have sacrificed their surnames, the Zhang clan is crazy. They rushed forward even more desperately, bypassing the guards in front of them and rushing towards the convoy. The convoy was already close to them, and this rush immediately entangled the escorts. Originally, the archers in the convoy were originally aiming their bows and arrows at the men in the suits, but when they were stirred up by these people, they were a little chaotic, and the men in the suits took this opportunity to flock up.
The two cavalry fought, almost dead and wounded, and the man in the strong suit finally rushed to the side of the convoy under the advice of the Zhang clan. This time, the archers can't use it, so they can only fight hand-to-hand.
It's messy! It's a complete mess!
Yin Zhu was riding on the horse, obviously in a hurry, and successively cut down two Zhang clansmen, then took out the signal, lit the fuse, and shot into the air.
According to the original plan, Jin Chan and Li Haoquan and the soldiers guarding the yamen had just left the city, and they didn't go fast, but they kept looking up at the sky, and when the signal sounded, they accelerated forward.
"Bang!"
A firework spread out in the air, and Jin Chan and the others could see it clearly, this was a signal that Yin Zhu had encountered a traitor. What are you waiting for, Jin Chan gave an order and led the reinforcements to rush quickly.
Gorgeous fireworks can be seen as long as you are a caring person. In the courtyard of the Zhang family ancestral hall, Tie Qiu and the two guards kept looking up to the west, and when they saw it, they immediately ran into the hall. "My lord, Yin Zhu has released a signal."
Yue Su nodded, and only after a while did he say a word, "I don't know how many people will die in this battle." ”
"Your Excellency is kind-hearted, but this battle is about exterminating the traitors, and your lord must not be kind to a woman." Xiong Tingbi on the other side said lightly.
When Xiong Manzi was defending the city in Liaodong, he had no woman's heart and killed decisively, and when Nurhachi heard the name of this guy, his head was big. If he hadn't heard that he had been set aside, he wouldn't have dared to act rashly. Such a person who has gone through a great battle will not care about the life and death of a few people.
Yue Su was also decisive in killing, but unfortunately, he always adhered to a creed and did not kill innocent people. This time the innocent is implicated, and it is indeed a little unbearable. After a silent pause, he said with emotion: "What Lord Xiong said is very true, release fragrant bait to fish for golden turtles, in order to save the lives of more people, bless my Ming Dynasty, sacrifice is inevitable." ”
The conversation between him and Xiong Tingbi, Yang Yishan on the side listened to it as if he understood it or not, luring the Dragon Gang to rob the ancestral property of the Zhang family, Yang Yishan knew, but what does this sacrifice mean?
Tie Qiu didn't understand at all. All he knows is that he will do whatever the adults tell him to do.
The signal was shot into the air, and the men in the power suits who fought with Yin Zhu were not fools, so they naturally understood what it meant. According to the usual practice, the other party's reinforcements arrived in a blink of an eye, and escaping for their lives was the right way, however, none of the men in the strong suits escaped, but became more and more courageous and rushed forward.
Yue Su's order to Yin Zhu was to be sure to entangle the enemy and wait for Jin Chan and Li Haoquan's reinforcements, originally thinking that the rebels would take the road and flee when they saw the signal, and prepare for interception and pursuit, but unexpectedly, things were not at all different from what he imagined.
Among the powerful men, the leader is a purple-faced man, who is armed with a machete, and he is very strong. When it comes to purple face, needless to say, this person is Cao Ge.
Cao Ge wielded a broadsword and cut down three guards in a row, before he grabbed a mule cart. He jumped into the car and slashed the rope of the box. The lid of the box is curved, and when the rope breaks, the box on top slides to the ground.
I only heard a "bang" and fell heavily to the ground. The box was heavier, and the ground was harder, and the box immediately shattered after the two close contacts.
The box was broken, and it immediately attracted the attention of countless people, and everyone knew what the box contained, who didn't want to see the gold.
However, something shocking happened.
When the chest was broken, there was no gold spilled, except for dirt and stones.
"How so?" The Zhang clan was dumbfounded, and the guards didn't seem to arrive surprised, as if they had already known that these things were contained inside, wielding weapons, and continuing to fight.
Cao Ge kicked down a box again, and after the box shattered, it was still spilled with stones and dirt.
"There's no gold in there, we're fooled." "Without gold, what are we going to fight?" "Run!" "Stop fighting, what's the fight without gold." …… The reason why the people of the Zhang clan have such courage is all because of gold, and now that gold has turned into stone, who still has a desperate mood. The fighting spirit was weakened, and they began to flee in all directions. For the sake of money, you can fight hard with the officials and soldiers, but for the sake of stones, it's not worth it. However, when the crowd fled, they did not notice that a woman and a child were long gone.
Cao Ge did not flee immediately, but took out a letter cannon from his bosom, lit it with a fire fold, and shot it into the air. "Bang!"
Just as he was firing the letter cannon, three feathered arrows, "whoosh", "whoosh", and "whoosh", shot at him. Cao Ge patronized the letter cannon, and when he noticed the bow and arrows being fired, three feathered arrows were fired at his body in unison. The letter cannon blossomed in the air, and his body fell with it.
As soon as Cao Ge died, the other men in strong suits no longer had the heart to fight, and they planned to flee one after another. The people ran away and ran away, how could Yin Zhu allow them to escape, commanding the guards was crazy to block. The convoy didn't care, it was just about killing the enemy.
Yes, the car is full of stones and dirt, what is there to manage.
Jin Chan and Li Haoquan moved forward desperately, and the horn cannon sounded again in front of them, and they could see it clearly. As soon as he saw this, Jin Cicada was stunned for a moment, didn't the adults say that they saw the signal to help, why did they release it twice in a row? Could it be that Yin Zhu can't support it anymore.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and shouted, "Speed up!" ”
Yue Su is not the only one waiting for the signal.
In the Zhang family's mansion, there are also people looking up to the west. This person was dressed in a Taoist robe, it was Zhang Tianshi, he saw the first letter cannon, he didn't make any reaction, when he saw the second letter cannon, he immediately rushed towards the hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, Zhang Tianshi shouted loudly: "Mr. Ye, Cao Ge has released a letter cannon over there." ”
"What color?"
In the hall, there were nine people seated, the most central was Mr. Ye, and there were six guys led by the Elder Rat Whisker. The remaining two, one is Wang Qilong, and the other is a young scholar.
As soon as Mr. Ye heard Zhang Tianshi's report, he first asked about Xincang's eyes.
"It's green!" Zhang Tianshi replied.
"Green!" Mr. Ye hesitated, got up and walked out, and when he walked to Wang Qilong's side, he smiled at him and said, "Lord Wang, I didn't expect your subordinates to have such talents, if it weren't for him, we would have already fallen into the plan and become a turtle in the urn." Let's go, go to the Zhang family ancestral hall, and meet Lord Yue for a while. Let him taste what it feels like to be a turtle in an urn. Hahahaha......"
At the end, Mr. Ye actually laughed proudly.
