Chapter Forty-Nine: Blessings and Misfortunes

Call...... Call......

Li Xi and Xiao Sheng let out a long sigh at the same time, and they both realized that the overall situation was mostly decided. Even if there are as many as 100 thieves, at such a close distance, one shot and another round of guns will have to lie down half. The remaining half still have the heart to fight, then it is not a bandit but a heavenly soldier.

A soft sound sounded, Xiao Sheng looked in surprise, Li Xian's hand holding the blood-stained short sword was trembling, he smiled, this kid is still a chick after all.

"Don't pretend, the first time I killed someone with a knife, it's all this German surname......"

Xiao Sheng looked at Li Shi, who was condensing his face like an iron plate, and his tone was tangled, and even he didn't know whether to mock or admire.

"If you want to vomit, you can vomit, and you can't spit your image of being wise and martial, four ...... Brother. ”

Li Yan twisted his lips hard.

"I don't want to throw up...... I just can't relax, what should I do? ”

His muscles were already spasming, which was a sign of extreme nervousness, on his side, Jia Gouzi and Wu Shishi and other boys were also about the same surname, and if they wanted to pull their spears at this time, they would probably even tear them away with their spears.

"It's always like this the first time, just get used to it."

Xiao Sheng comforted.

"Oh, it's good to get used to it......"

Li Xian stepped forward and greeted the boys.

"Let's go! Keep killing! ”

Xiao Sheng froze, he didn't mean that......

"Keep loading!"

Li Shi turned his head and explained this, and walked forward with the boys.

The smoke of gunpowder dispersed, dozens of bandits lay on the ground, Li Xian secretly sneered, and whispered to Jia Gouzi and others: "Regardless of life or death, poke people when you see them, don't come close!" ”

The boys swallowed hard and spit, but nodded without hesitation. Nine spears gathered together and poked at each other.

Screams rang out one after another, and I don't know if these bandits are full of vitality, or if the guns of this era are not very powerful, and none of them were really killed, and most of them were hit in their hands, legs, and torsos, and they were still panting. But the spear was merciless, seven or eight feet away, stabbing the living into dead people one by one, and the terrible howl shook Xiao Sheng in the bottom of his heart.

After stabbing a dozen or so bandits to death, the people lying in the back came to their senses, which simply did not give them a way to live. Those who were injured struggled to climb towards the rear fort tower, and those who were not injured but lay down and pretended to be dead jumped up and fled with their heads in a hurry, and the ground was half empty at once.

Li Shi stopped the boys who were about to catch up and led them back to the gun position.

"Now...... You can hunt wild ducks with peace of mind. ”

Li Shi also personally sent the two bandits on the road, just as Xiao Sheng said, the whole person relaxed, he said this idly, Xiao Sheng looked at his gaze, like looking at a demon.

Then Xiao Sheng looked ahead, his eyes were blood-red, what a good target......

The twenty or thirty thieves blocked the gate tightly, and the dozen or so people behind seemed to want to rush up, and the wounded who retreated in front were arguing with them, and they could vaguely hear what "Lao Er was annihilated internally", "Niu Eleven was more suspicious", "Who betrayed us, Mrs. Yang or Zhong Yuanwai?" And so on.

Sure enough, it was a rabble that had been put together in a hurry, and at this life-and-death juncture, they were still chattering and arguing.

The mountain splitting cannon is just a small cannon, and if you are not afraid of the cannon exploding, the rate of fire is faster than that of a shotgun. The barrel of the cannon was cleaned with a wooden stick and a tarpaulin, and the gunpowder was filled, and another sealed door wrapped in an oilcloth was stuffed into the chamber.

"I'll do it anyway!"

Xiao Sheng was addicted, waved away Li Shi and the others, and adjusted the height of the muzzle again.

The group of thieves in front of them didn't realize that they were dying, and they were still pushing and screaming. They didn't see the officers and soldiers coming up, and they subconsciously lost their sense of urgency, quarreled with their accomplices, and didn't even think that there were officers and soldiers behind them. I don't know who glanced back, and then I screamed, "Cannon-!" ”

Rumble......

It was too late, and there was another cannon shot, and a fist-sized sealed door shot out, throwing the green and white gunpowder smoke behind the tail, like stones floating on the water surface, one, two, three...... Four or five, then a large one, the scarlet blood mass sprayed up almost at the same time, and the last big one, a cannon that was close to exhaustion, slammed the body of a thief into the earthen wall of the fort tower, and saw that the man's chest collapsed completely, and the cannon was embedded in his chest, and the fort behind the man was smashed into a large cobweb-like crack.

"Lao Liangtou!?"

One of the bandits exclaimed.

"Squat on the ground with your head in your hands, surrender and don't kill!"

There was no need to use guns anymore, all the bandits were slumped on the ground, and many of them were already wet from their crotches. Xiao Sheng rushed forward with the soldiers, and behind him, Li Shi raised a horn made of iron sheet and shouted.

"It's down! It's down! ”

The bandits shouted at the top of their voices, for fear that they would slow down.

Xiao Sheng, who was running in front, almost fell, and only then did he remember the usefulness of the iron horn.

That Li Xian...... Even this came to mind......

"A few gangs of bandits got together, and the convener was Lao Er, who wanted to erect a banner in this fort, organize a capital by himself, and set up a name on the **......"

The thirty or forty bandits were tied into gourd strings, monitored by the soldiers and boarded the ship, and Xiao Sheng was "reporting" to Li Shi.

"Twenty-nine died, all their heads were cut off, thirty-three were here, and more than twenty escaped, and Lao Er...... I was killed by a bombardment! ”

Xiao Sheng's face lit up, and the last shot was really a miracle shot, killing six people!

"Lao Er is dead......"

Li Xian frowned, this was not what he expected.

"What are you thinking?"

Xiao Sheng felt a chill in his neck again.

"Nothing ......"

Li Shi turned his head to look around, and could vaguely see the reeds swaying and shaking in the distance, it should be a bandit who had not fled far, and he was still waiting nearby.

"I can't catch up with them, and there's no need to chase them. Those guys have broken their hearts, but they just want to make sure we're really gone, so that we can pack up our accomplices' things. ”

Xiao Sheng is very experienced, and he doesn't care much about those thieves who are on the run.

Li Shi suddenly laughed out loud: "Dare to spoil Master Zhong's business, this is the end!" ”

The shouts that were full of voices were suddenly heard throughout the entire river bay.

"You ......"

Xiao Sheng's eyes widened, only to feel that the cool air in his neck suddenly sank, and his waist and eyes couldn't hold it anymore.

"What are you doing here?"

was "wary" to Li Xian, and with this shout, he immediately understood the intention, but he didn't have time to speculate about the next changes for a while.

"Lao Xiao, don't think so much, let's take this great work first."

Li Xian's words made Xiao Sheng's face soften, and there was even a joy about to come out, but he was suppressed reservedly.

That's a great achievement!

Several groups of mountain bandits in the county were almost wiped out by a small flood guard of their own, Xiao Sheng seemed to have seen the kind spring breeze on Li Zhushou's big white face, and Bai Daolong was even more satisfied with his arms and nodded. His own extra outsourcing can change no matter what.

It's just that...... Li Xi's last voice, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that something was not right, like there was still some big disaster waiting for him?

Seeing that Xiao Sheng's face was cloudy, Li Xian laughed.

"What to worry about, everything is in my calculations."

Xiao Sheng's face was a little cramped.

"Including this time!?"

Li Shi wiped his sweat embarrassedly, it was really dangerous if he didn't risk his life to fight this time.

"It was a small achievement, but now it has become a big achievement, which is really unexpected."

Li Shi smirked, Xiao Sheng glared angrily, stared at him for a while, and laughed along.

Patting Jia Gouzi and the others beside him, Li Xian thought to himself, for Xiao Sheng, this is a great achievement, and for him, this is a big harvest, from now on, these nine boys under his command have been forged. Together with himself, he can be regarded as having grown.

Jia Gouzi, Wu Shishi and the others only looked at Li Shi silently, their eyes were resolute, and a bit of maturity that was far inferior to their peers had already precipitated.

Xiao Shengzhi proudly drove the boat, put down Li Xi and the others and the two cannons that had been tested in actual combat in the Fengtian Village mine, and escorted more than 30 thieves and bandits back to his nest. And when Guan Tian and the other villagers greeted them, they were all shocked by the scarlet of Li Xian's body.

"This thing, build two hundred more!"

Li Shi waved his arm, and the three-edged thorn, which was also stained with blood, thrust into the ground with a pop.

"Disaster is coming, we must rely on ourselves to protect ourselves!"

The murderous aura that had not yet faded was wrapped in Li Xian's condensed voice, which shook Guan Tian and the others to the core. And Jia Gouzi Wu Shishi and other nine boys carried short swords, held wooden sticks, their eyes were like iron, and they surrounded Li Shi like a personal guard, which made the villagers vaguely have an illusion. Li Shi, who was standing in front of them, was not a scholar, but a powerful general.

Even if there was any opposition, they could no longer say it at that moment.

Li Shi was ready to meet the disaster, but for Li Zhushou and Bai Daolong, it was a happy event.

For Li Zhushou, Yingde was originally a county in difficulty, and cracking down on thieves and bandits was the county's top priority. At present, Jinshanxun is a small guard, and he has actually suppressed several groups of mountain bandits, and the local bandits have been frightened, and a county has suddenly calmed down a lot.

This is just a benefit on the surface, and what is even more heartwarming is that the Xun Shou is still very sensible, and deliberately filled in the text, making the whole thing the credit of Li Zhushou and Li Zhixian. He Li Zhixian learned that there was a banditry, and he was concerned about the safety of the gentry and the people, so he borrowed troops from the Yamen of the General Soldier of the Starry Night, and personally taught the Xun Shou face-to-face opportunity, which made a miraculous achievement.

Bai Daolong also earned a credit in this matter, heard about the local bandits, worked tirelessly, went to the flood mouth in person, commanded and dispatched all the floods to strictly guard against death, and blocked the thieves in the predicament. At the same time, the patrol was effective, and the generals under his command reacted quickly, and only 20 officers and soldiers defeated 100 bandits, tied up 30 and killed 30, this is a first-class strong soldier, and his boss naturally contributed a lot.

The magistrate and the general soldier each wrote a flowery report from their own friends, handed it over to their respective superiors, and waited for the discussion. Although it is not a shocking achievement, seeing that it is an eventful autumn for the two of them, there is such a credit to cushion the table legs, and my heart is also a lot more stable.

But for others, their hearts are in turmoil.

"Zhong is on the throne! You're enough to plant! ”

Yang Chun was circling in the living room of his house, and there were also fragments of tea and teacups on the ground.
