(Thank you for the support of the two big brothers who love the beauty of all things and the scale of everything, thank you, ask for recommendation votes!) ）

Zhu Pet looked at the remnants of the defeated soldiers under his own banner with a sad face, and his face became more and more bitter. Just this group of people who suffered a thousand knives, just now more than 1,000 people behind the formation, they were all rushed by the thieves and collapsed, now let him take them to the village to be a pioneer, isn't it embarrassing for him?

But Bingxian's military order has already come down, and this is still a chance for him to make meritorious contributions.

Zhu Pet was in a dilemma, and at a glance, he happened to see the nine-headed bird flag not far away, and the phoenix with only nine heads on the banner made his heart suddenly move. At that moment, he hurriedly trotted over there, Liu Jun was commanding the members of the nine-headed bird team to cut off the heads of the bandits that the team had just killed, searching for loot, and couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhu Pet's unique fat running style.

"Public series, there is a small fortune to make."

Li Chunjiang also thought that Liu Jun was talking about the first-level reward for the bandits they had just killed, "It's a pity that those thieves are afraid of death and run fast, otherwise these hundreds of thieves and bandits will be our military merits, and they can be exchanged for a lot of silver." ”

"I'm not talking about this, it's another extra money."

"What's the extra money?" Li Chunjiang was puzzled.

Liu Jun smiled and gestured to Zhu Fatzi, who was running over, "Don't talk in a while, look at me, Bao can make a small profit." ”

As he spoke, he greeted Zhu Fatzi, "Lord Qianhu." ”

"Ouch, don't be polite to me, just call me Uncle Shi." Zhu Fatzi hurriedly smiled and said, very eagerly. "Nephew, Uncle Shi is here to beg you for something."

"If Uncle Shi needs any help, just ask." Liu Jun is also very kind.

"That's right." The fat man wiped the sweat from his forehead and organized the language, "You also heard, Zhao Bingxian asked me to atone for my crimes, lead the forwards, and attack the cottage." However, you have also seen that my men are a group of bear soldiers, and you also saw the bear just now, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to complete the task. ”

Liu Jun said, "Uncle Shi is too worried, this cottage, the Da-Mazi gang was first exterminated, and now the second master has just been annihilated at the foot of the mountain with the elite, and now the cottage is only afraid that it is full of old and weak women and children, so there is no need to worry." Uncle Shi led his troops to charge and ensure that he would take it. ”

"That's what I said." The fat man is a little self-aware, and he knows how it can be so simple. "But for the sake of safety, Uncle Shi still wants to ask the two nephews to do a favor, I just saw that your firearms are really powerful, many and accurate, very good. Therefore, I thought that when I attacked the village, the Hydra would be able to help me provide fire support in the back. ”

Li Chunjiang suddenly understood, and what Liu Jun said just now was that he was going to make a small fortune. He immediately said in a difficult position, "It's fine, it's just"

Although Zhu Pet is not good at fighting, he is still very good at doing things, and he suddenly thought of the key point, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Shi also knows that this is a bit difficult, but Uncle Shi doesn't let the brothers help in vain, the nine-headed bird helps Uncle Shi with this, how about I give each one or two thanks?" ”

"It's vulgar to mention money, what are you doing with that." Liu Jun said with a smile, but he didn't say yes.

The fat man looked at it, and estimated that he was thinking that the money was too little, although his heart ached, but considering that this was an opportunity to atone for his crimes, he had to grit his teeth at the moment, "Two hundred taels, do me a favor." ”

"Gongji, are we still enough gunpowder buckshot this time?" Liu Jun didn't agree, but turned his head to ask Li Chunjiang.

"I didn't bring much when I came, and I fought two battles in a row, so I guess there wasn't much left, and after two battles, it is estimated that many brothers may have to change their guns."

The two sang and harmonized, anyway, the fat man's money is not earned in vain. As for the fat man's guard, even if the thieves are all lost, it will be a little difficult to break the village, unless he takes his family to fill it. It is estimated that the fat man would rather contribute some money than fold his family here for nothing. For the nine-headed bird, it is not a problem to help the fat man provide some firepower support, and by the way, he can earn some extra money, and it can also give the villagers more opportunities for live ammunition, anyway, someone pays for the ammunition.

"Five hundred taels!" The fat man was in a hurry, and finally opened a high price.

Zhu Fatzi is still very good at settling accounts, just now he has folded two families, more than 30 military households, not to mention this loss, just the bad defeat performance, he urgently needs the next victory to recover. He raised a family, and the salary and rewards plus their war horses, equipment consumption, etc., how did they add up to an average of fifty taels a year.

If you lose ten, five hundred taels will be thrown into the water, not to mention that if you don't fight the next battle, it is still a question whether he, the thousand households, can continue to sit.

And he shouted five hundred taels in one breath, and he didn't plan to pay the money himself, he thought about it, and when he turned around, he would count the expenses on the heads of everyone in the guard. Although he had only fifty under his command, he was now forty-eight. But there were still more than 1,000 people in his guard, and even if these people were now only tenant farmers for him and the officers in the Qianhu office, the money could be distributed to them.

"Oh, Uncle Shi, this is good, since Uncle Shi looks down on us, then even if there is a big difficulty, we have to help with this. Uncle Shi, don't worry, we Nine-headed Bird will definitely provide firearms support. Even if you need it, we can also pull up the six tiger squat cannons, you can rest assured, our gunners are all borrowed masters from Mei Gong, pointing to where to fight, although the consumption is larger. Liu Jun patted his chest with a smile on his face.

Zhu Pet felt really painful, but at this time he had to pretend to be bold and said, "The consumption is mine, the six cannons of the nephew are pulled out to fight, how about I add another hundred taels of silver?" ”

"Absolutely." It's easy to talk if you have silver, and Liu Jun's chest is beating louder this time.

Six hundred taels of silver, Zhu Pet immediately asked his family to bring the silver, and the silver was not less. It was hard for him to bring so much silver on the battlefield, but Liu Jun accepted the silver very simply while being modest.

After receiving the money, he has to do things, and Liu Jun is still very good at this aspect.

The whole team of the Nine-headed Bird Team followed the back of the Huangzhou Guards and marched towards the cottage, and there were hundreds of people left in the cottage, both young and old, both men and women, but almost all of them were just old and weak women and children. They had just seen with their own eyes the destruction of the more than 100 young men of the second master's family, and they were all terrified, but in the face of the approach of the official army, no one fled, and no one surrendered.

This is halfway up the mountain, and the foot of the mountain is full of officers and soldiers, and there is nowhere to escape, and they don't trust the officers and soldiers.

Hundreds of men and women, young and old, armed with guns and arrows, gathered in front of the gate of the village, and wanted to resist to the end.

Liu Jun knew that those people were actually just loyal people of the Ming Dynasty earlier, and later because of various natural disasters, they had to leave their hometowns and become homeless, and finally even became rogue bandits, but Liu Jun had no pity for them.

This is an era of cannibalism, after the homeless people have become rogues, almost everyone has the blood of other innocent people on their hands, they are no longer innocent people, but rogue bandits, a group of people who kill and rob all kinds of evil.

"Artillery ready!"

The 36-pound tiger squat cannon is light, and it can be carried around by one person directly, which is most suitable for this kind of mountain bandit fighting. The six tiger squatting cannons easily approached a distance of 100 steps in front of the gate of the stockade.

Liu Jun glanced at the closed gate, behind which there were faint figures, as well as long and short knives and guns. The village was originally a small temple, but then the temple was abandoned, and then it was occupied by these thieves, and then they repaired the collapsed temple wall, and a wooden fence was erected on the half-earthen wall.

Zhu Pet's team was already in place, and he stood twenty steps in front of the tiger squatting cannon with knives and guns, refusing to advance.

"Nephew, look at your fire." Zhu Pet looked at the row of six-door tigers squatting.

Liu Jun nodded, and then told him the battle plan, "In a while, my six tiger squat cannons will be the first to fire and concentrate on bombarding the Zhaimen." After the shelling, Uncle Shi immediately led your troops to blow the trumpet to attack, and I will let my spear-carrying team cover behind, and send the bird-gunners to follow you forward, and the bird-gun fire support. ”

"How many rounds of cannons?"

"One round is enough." Liu Jun replied, in the face of hundreds of old and weak, he was not interested in putting a half-day cannon first, it would be a complete waste.

"How many more rounds?" Zhu Pet said.

"The soldiers are fast, after a round of cannons, the thieves will inevitably panic, and it is just right to rush up at this time."

Although the Tiger Squat Cannon is a small cannon with a relatively short range, it is neither as good as the Franc Machine nor as good as the Hongyi Cannon, but it is a cannon after all.

Liu Jun gave an order, and the six-door tiger squatting tiger that had completed loading had already aimed at the target, and the gunner had already aimed at the wooden closed gate as required.

Ignition, fire.

The six tigers squatted and fired in turn, and a large lead bullet in the muzzle of each gun was the first to be fired, followed by more than 100 small lead bullets pressed in the barrel.

The sound of artillery was like thunder.

The first shot hit the Zhaimen directly, Liu Jun was very satisfied with the gunner, worthy of the head of the coach invited from Mei Zhihuan's firearms team, although it was only a hundred steps away from the Zhaimen, but if it was not a professional master, it was really not easy to hit.

In the next five shells, two large lead bullets hit the gate of the village, two hit the wooden fence on the side, and one shot flew directly through the gate and fell into the village. This large buckshot originally belonged to the missed target, but it accidentally smashed into the stockade and became a ricochet, killing three old thieves hiding behind the gate of the village.

A scream rang out from behind the gate, accompanied by a panicked sound.

The remaining hundreds of small lead pieces covered the gate of the village like a heavenly maiden scattered flowers, and the shelling that was deflected, more than 100 lead also shot at the thieves behind like rain hitting plantains, and killed and injured a few.

Even Liu Jun was a little surprised, and the six guns hit and killed.

"Uncle Shi's people are on." Liu Jun reminded Zhu Pet, who was still surprised.

Zhu Pet came back to his senses and hurriedly gave the order, letting those cowering military households charge, and Jia Ding personally led the team to charge, and these military households also shrank their heads and followed.

Liu Jun saw that the first round had hit, and then turned around and ordered the artillerymen, "One more round." He also saw that those soldiers were rushing too slowly, and it was better to say that it was a charge than a walk, and at this speed, it was impossible to use the effect of artillery to quickly approach the gate.

Sure enough, these military households hadn't run out of thirty steps for a long time, and there were already thieves showing their heads on the wall.

"Raise your gun and shoot!"

The tiger squat cannon had not yet finished reloading, and Liu Jun immediately asked the spear-carrying team to fight the outcropping bandits.

This time it was a free-aim shot, and no salvo was required. Winter Dog took the lead in aiming at an outcropping thief, it was an old man, still holding a bow in his hand, and he had already pulled the string, Winter Dog pulled the trigger, and a cloud of blood mist erupted in the old man's chest, and half of the string was pulled open and flicked back, and the old man fell back into the village.

After killing the old thief with one shot, Winter Dog did not immediately reload the gunpowder, but first took out the short sword and carved a vertical pattern on the handle, and the gun originally had five lines, plus this one, it was the sixth. Each of these lines represents an enemy he killed, among the six people, five bandits, one of the Huangzhou military households, one of whom was killed by him with a long knife, the remaining five and two were killed by him with a bird's gun, and three were killed by carrying a spear.

The thieves who appeared on the wall were knocked down two or three at once, and no one dared to raise their heads for a while, and the soldiers ran forward boldly when they saw this.

They were halfway through when there was a whistling sound in the air, and the second round of tiger squat and run was launched.

There was an explosion, and the gate collapsed.

Seeing this, the head of Zhu Pet's family team raised his waist knife and shouted: "Rush! ”

The twenty-four gunners of the Hydra team also marched slowly with their guns raised and slowly moved forward under the protection of their teammates from each team.

As soon as the gate of the village was broken, the thieves in the stockade rushed out with knives and guns, the nine-headed bird team released guns, the archers released arrows, and the hook gunners fired arrows in the back, and the thieves who rushed out for a while immediately fell down.

On the hillside in the distance, Mei Zhihuan put down the clairvoyant mirror and said to Zhao Cheng with a smile, "Congratulations to Zhao Bingxian, the thief's den has been broken!" ”

Zhao Cheng also put down the clairvoyant mirror, this battle has been completely won, his face is much amused, "Get rid of a group of thieves again, rejoice and rejoice." While talking about the scene, his mind was still full of the nine-headed bird and horse team, the two confident and excellent young captains, the neat and mighty nine-headed bird country brave, and the hunting and flying nine-headed bird banner.

When he came to Macheng this time, what impressed him the most was the sudden appearance of the nine-headed bird team, the nine-headed bird, which is really amazing. Especially that Liu Jun, he was even more impressed, a very interesting young man. It's hard to believe that such a handsome show is just a little martial artist.

"My lord, what do you do with those thieves?" An official asked.

Zhao Cheng snorted coldly, "A group of lawless thieves, no king, no father, what's the use of staying, all of them are killed on the spot, and no one is left." ”

There are at least two or three hundred people in the cottage, and most of them are old and weak women and children, but Zhao Cheng directly issued a killing order, and he didn't even plan to let go of the children inside. None of the officials and squires around him felt that there was anything wrong with his disposition order, and none of them spoke out against it.

Zhao Cheng's family got the order and rushed to the cottage that was already on fire everywhere.
