Qiu Fuzhao's sudden appearance startled Xia Jingxi, she had never looked at this cousin who was the head of the security regiment, but she didn't expect her cousin, who was always a servile person, to be so bold today.

"Let it go!" Xia Jingxi shook it hard, but didn't shake it off.

Qiu Fuzhao said: "Cousin, I can't help you today, you have to go, you have to go, you have to go!" "Then you have to stop and hug you.

Xia Jingxi jumped back, and pointed the sharp scissors in his hand at Qiu Fuzhao: "Don't come here!" ”

Qiu Fuzhao smiled cruelly: "Cousin, brother is not afraid of scissors, if you are really willing to tie it, you can tie it here." ”

As he spoke, he ripped open the front of the black uniform, revealing his strong chest.

Xia Jingxi hesitated.

Qiu Fuzhao took the opportunity to say: "Cousin, don't you know what my brother wants about you, there are many bandits, and the county can't be saved, go with my brother, my brother promises to treat you sincerely for the rest of my life, hold you in the palm of my hand and hold it in my mouth." ”

Looking at this hemp face that revealed his true feelings, Xia Jingxi was about to vomit.

……

When the head of the Qiu regiment confessed under the city, the city had already repelled the bandits' five attacks, there were many corpses lying on the open ground outside the city, and dozens of injured ones were lying on the ground humming and chirping, most of them were injured by the shotguns fired by the copper cannon, Wang Degui raised the Mauser gun to give them a good time, but was stopped by Chen Zikun.

"Don't kill them, I'll keep them useful."

"What is the use of killing a bandit with a thousand knives to keep?" Wang Degui was puzzled.

"It's useful, which of you is going to call the bandit leader?"

No one responded, this battle has been fought so far, there have been a lot of casualties, more than a dozen people in the city have died, more than 30 wounded, for the residents of the county town who have been peaceful for a long time, it is tragic enough, everyone is hated and afraid of the bandits, no one dares to go out of the city.

County Magistrate Liu said: "I have a way, raise the white flag, and the bandit leader himself will come." ”

Chen Zikun said yes, but where did the white flag come from?

County Magistrate Liu took out a white silk folded into a square from his arms.

Chen Zikun stared at him: "You have already prepared the white flag?" ”

County Magistrate Liu was slightly embarrassed: "Take precautions." ”

Without further ado, Chen Zikun ordered people to raise a white flag and display it on the city.

In the distance, beside the small forest, the bandit leaders gathered in one place to discuss countermeasures, and suddenly Liang Maocai shouted: "They have surrendered!" ”

The big scoop handle lowered the hat, the noon sun was very eye-catching, and he looked at the south gate of the county, and a big flag was displayed at the head of the city.

"It's only been a morning and you can't hold on? It's not like that. The big scoop said, "Old ten, you go and see what's going on." ”

"Order!" Liang Maocai jumped on the war horse, walked away, came to the city in a moment, and shouted: "Still fighting?" ”

Yao Yilei also participated in the battle in the city, and when she saw her kidnappers coming to the city, she picked up her shotgun and was about to set it on fire, but Chen Zikun held down the barrel of the gun: "Now is not the time to kill him." Miss Yao lowered her gun stupidly.

Chen Zikun replied: "After a long morning, you are also tired, how about resting and playing again." ”

Liang Maocai laughed wildly: "You are tired, we are not tired, you kid dared to coax me yesterday, wait for me to enter the city, see how I clean you up." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Joke, we fought smoothly, you will never be able to enter the city, I see you are pitiful, allow you to carry the wounded away, never shoot." ”

Liang Mao thought for a moment and said: "Okay, then it's up to you, rest for half an hour and then fight, and we will carry the wounded away." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Wait, I still have a gift for you." ”

Liang Maocai became alert and pressed his hand on the handle of the gun: "What? ”

Chen Zikun waved his hand, the city gate opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and several people drove out a pig and two sheep from inside, as well as a basket of fragrant eggs and green onions.

"The brothers have worked very hard, and it is not too late to come back to attack the city when they are full." Chen Zikun said very generously.

Liang Maocai didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, but he still asked people to accept pigs, sheep and steamed buns, and asked people to carry the wounded with their bare hands.

……

The envoy not only let the other party carry away the wounded, but also sent pigs, sheep and steamed buns, this strange behavior made everyone puzzled, if it wasn't for the identity, some people would probably have to scold.

Only County Magistrate Liu and Chief of Staff Yan understood Chen Zikun's intentions.

"The Protector is using a ploy." County Magistrate Liu said.

Chief of Staff Yan added: "Yes, this is a blow to the enemy's morale, the wounded soldiers not only increase the burden of the enemy, but also reduce the enemy's morale. ”

Everyone was in awe.

Chen Zikun smiled bitterly and waved his hand, sat in the Taishi chair, played all morning, finally had time to breathe, he slowly pressed the bullet into the magazine, and asked, "The messenger should cross the river at this time, right?" ”

County Magistrate Liu said: "Almost, there is a regiment of the provincial army stationed in Jiangnan, as long as they are dispatched, the bandits will definitely retreat in a hurry." ”

Yan Su said: "Zhao Yufeng is also at the mouth of the tiger at this time, but even if he is fast, it will take a day and a night to rush to Xuzhou." ”

Chen Zikun nodded, in fact, he can't count on the reinforcements in these two places, just to give everyone a psychological comfort, the only thing he can count on is actually another reinforcement.

Chen Qingfeng disguised himself as a little Taoist boy and had already gone out of the city......

……

In the grove outside the city, the big scoop and others looked at a pig and two sheep, as well as a basket full of eggs and green onions, and the old man with solid eyes reached out to take the steamed bun happily, but was drunk by the eldest brother: "You are not afraid of poison!" ”

The eighth hurriedly retracted his hand.

The military advisor unfolded the folding fan and shook it a few times, and said: "The other party acts above board, and will never use this kind of indiscriminate trick, I dare to guarantee that it is absolutely not poisonous,"

As soon as the old eight heard this, they immediately took a piece of food and ate it, the bandits ate wherever they went, and they did not have the habit of carrying heavy dry food, so they thought that they would be able to attack the city in the morning to eat and drink, but they did not expect to lose their troops and lose their troops until now, and they did not even close the edge of the moat.

"You know how to eat!" The big scoop shook his hand, and the whip seemed to have long eyes, wrapping up the steamed bun in Lao Ba's hand, and then shaking it, the steamed bun turned into pieces.

"This person is not simple, he wants to spoil my morale." The big scoop handle had a gloomy face, and a pair of ringed eyes under the hat stared at the Nantai city wall in the distance.

Under the bright afternoon sun, the walls of Nantai seem so majestic and indestructible.

This city, is the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen years built, the Qing army went south when there was a fierce battle, and later, Xianfeng years to make a long hair, the county order will be the city wall to reinforce, resist the twist attack for three months, under the city of Nantai, the soul of injustice is innumerable.

The wounded who were brought back wailed all over the field, and the bandits were dejected and their morale was greatly reduced, because the bandits were originally suitable for guerrilla warfare, and they were not good at attacking fortified positions, and after experiencing setbacks, they were easily discouraged.

The big scoop was very angry, he mobilized almost all the people in the county to attack the city, if he returned in vain, where would this face go.

The military advisor offered advice: "Big scoop handle, why don't you let the ninth master take someone to try?" ”

The big scoop handle was a little hesitant, but it was only for a moment.

"In the middle, let Lao Jiu take people back."

The qualifications of the ninth master are relatively shallow, only slightly higher than the old ten Liang Maocai, and the brothers under him are the least, only seventy or eighty, and the weapons are the worst, which is an old-fashioned shotgun firecracker, but the spiritual outlook of the brothers is not bad at all, a green cloth gown, gripping tiger boots, cowhide belt, a gourd on both sides, the gourd has been brushed with tung oil five or six times, the oil is shiny, one is loaded with gunpowder, the other is loaded with iron sand, and there is never worry about running out of ammunition.

Lao Jiusheng is tall and mighty, with dark skin, bright eyes, black clothes, black riding boots under his feet, and a double barge at his waist. "The accent is similar to that of the military advisor, with a bit of Yan Zhao flavor.

The big scoop said: "Lao Jiu, what are you doing in the morning, I didn't see your figure." ”

Lao Jiu said: "I went to the nearby village to get something." ”

"What's up? It's not going to rob the, right? The eighth laughed next to him.

Lao Jiu said: "I took some carts, door panels, tables, cotton bedding, iron pots and so on." ”

The big scoop's eyes lit up: "You kid, it's up to you this time, take down Nantai City, let you grab a day first!" ”

"Thank you!" Lao Jiuyi gave up his hand and took his brothers to battle.

They soaked the quilts with water, then spread them on the door panels and tables, and then piled a layer of earth on them, and pushed them forward in a cart, very slowly, but very steadily, and the people were hidden in the cart or behind the cart, and their heads were not even exposed.

On the city wall, Chen Zikun raised his binoculars, looked at the strange team in the distance, and couldn't help but be surprised: "It's not good, the bandits have unearthed tanks!" ”

Wang Degui asked, "What is a tank?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "This is a foreign dialect, what you don't understand, it is the meaning of the ironclad chariot." ”

Lao Jiu's earthen tank has caused great psychological pressure to the people's army, this thing seems to be incomprehensible, not only the fire and lead can't be drilled, but the cannon can't help it, a rain of bullets poured over the city, people don't have any, continue to move forward slowly.

Chen Zikun panicked, took a rifle and aimed at it, he was sure that he had hit, and the cart stopped.

"Don't use a firecracker, shoot with a quick gun!" Chen Zikun ordered.

However, there are not many fast guns on the city wall, there are already miscellaneous guns, all kinds of calibers, some bullets are only about a dozen rounds, and they have long been exhausted, and now only seven or nine calibers of Hanyang can be fired, but a row of guns passed, and the bandits still moved forward, and as the distance got closer and closer, everyone became more and more afraid.

In fact, Chen Zikun's shot did kill the bandits hiding in the car, but the ninth master strictly ordered that whoever dared to take half a step back would break his head first, and whoever climbed the city wall first would reward the ocean with five hundred, so the bandits went forward hard.

"The big scoop said, if we take the city, let us grab it for a day, there are gold and silver treasures, eggs and steamed buns in the city, and the tender little daughter-in-law, it doesn't feel slippery."

The bandits who were salivating and energetic in the highly inflammatory language of the Ninth Master were really pushed to the moat by them, and the bullets hit the sandbags and quilts, and the bandits suffered heavy casualties, but their morale was still high.

"Brothers, hit!" As soon as the ninth master gave an order, he took the lead in jumping out and hitting the city with two box guns, and the bandits also came out one after another, bombarding them with firearms, and for a while the smoke was filled, and the city walls were wailing again and again.

"Let's go!" Lao Jiuyi took the lead, and stepped on the ladder to cross the moat, and the little bandits saw that the master was so strong, and they also shouted, dropped the empty firecracker, pulled out the bright sword, stepped on the ladder to cross the river, and took advantage of the situation to pull the ladder over to the city wall.

The bandits finally stormed the city wall of Nantai County.
