Chapter 597: Killing Chickens and Monkeys

After there was no longer a single tenant standing on the head of Wangjiabao City, the Tiger and Par Army, which kept firing guns a hundred paces away, moved again.

However, the Tiger and Leopard Army, which has more than 100 people, did not attack together.

Under the gaze of the eldest young master of the Wang family, only a platoon of more than forty tiger and leopard troops charged towards Wangjiabao in a very scattered manner.

As for the remaining Haw Par Army, they continued to carry muskets and shoot lead bullets at the city round after round, suppressing the tenants under their command.

Soon, more than forty attacking Haw Par troops rushed to a distance of less than fifty paces from the city. In this case, in the blink of an eye, dozens of Haw Par troops could rush into the longbow range.

"Brothers, the officers and soldiers are coming, all the archers are ready...... Started archery and counterattacked ...... "The Wang family, who has been pressed and beaten by the Tiger and Leopard Army, will certainly not let go of the rare opportunity to counterattack. The whole person seemed to be beaten in an instant, armed at the tenants around him, and shouted loudly.

However, to his disappointment, although a few arrows flew out of the city after the order was given, these arrows did not have any accuracy at all, and the range was so close that they did not even touch the fur of the tiger and leopard army.

It turned out that in the face of the lead bullets that kept whizzing overhead, in the face of death that was close at hand. All the tenants knew that at this time, as long as they attacked the outcrop, the lead bullets fired by the Haw Par Army would all fly towards them as if they had long eyes.

However, the order of the eldest young master must be carried out again. As a result, the few archers closest to the eldest young master directly shot a few arrows outside the city with the most inaccurate projectiles.

Plus these archers are crouching behind the stomping. There is simply no way to pull the bow with all the strength. So. These arrows flew out. There is neither the right head nor the strength.

In this case, even if the blind cat collides with the dead mouse, one or two arrows hit the target, and it will not hurt the attacking tiger and leopard army.

Of course, in the face of the Wang family's counterattack order. Most of the archers, who hid behind the stomping, were directly indifferent because of fear and fear. Let the Haw Par Army attack the troops, and approach Wangjiabao step by step.

In the face of the low morale of the tenants under his command, all the Wang family could do was to be anxious.

However, he did not give up, and the huge wealth accumulated by the Wang family for hundreds of years behind him reminded him all the time that he must defend Wangjiabao and block the attack of the official army. Otherwise, not only the wealth behind him, but also his own life may not be saved.

After cutting down the two inactive tenants to the ground again with a broadsword. The archers, who were indifferent, finally began to move.

Thereupon. Rounds of arrows, like rain, kept flying out of the city.

However, these arrows, which were neither accurate nor powerful, could not stop the pace of the Haw Par Army's attack.

Soon, more than 40 Haw Par troops rushed to the position where they were only a dozen steps away from Wangjiabao.

At this time, the only hope of the Wang family was the stone and rolling wood piled up on the city wall.

Just as he was about to give the order to have the tenants throw rolling logs outward, using stones and rolling logs, to smash to death a tiger and leopard army close to the city wall, he unexpectedly appeared on the battlefield again.

The Haw Par Army, which rushed here, did not rush to approach the city wall. Instead, he took out the swarthy grenades, lit the fire rope, and threw them at the head of the city with all his might......

"Could it be that the officials and soldiers want to use these iron lumps to smash the tenants under their command to death......" This was the first reaction of the Wang family after facing this situation.

However, when the grenade landed on the city wall and exploded, flying fragments and violent explosions, he directly told him how the grenade was used to kill the enemy.

In the blink of an eye, a series of dense explosions sounded on the city wall.

As the explosion sounded, all kinds of screams also reached the ears of the Wang family one after another.

Facing the thick smoke that quickly spread around him, the Wang family, who had never seen such a powerful weapon, was once again in shock.

And at this moment, the second round of grenades thrown by the Haw Par Army has come to the city again. Not only that, but a grenade actually landed directly beside him.

Before the Wang family, who was in shock, could make any reaction, a ball of flame erupted from the seemingly small grenade body under his feet. And, of course, there was the sound of explosions and a few very hot fragments.

When the Wang family was awakened by the sound of the explosion, a few pieces of fragments had easily broken a few blood holes in his body.

Within a radius of dozens of miles, the Wang family, who had dominated for a while, died in the hands of a grenade.

At the same time, the tenants who were baptized by two rounds of nearly 100 grenades also lost their lives.

When more than 40 tiger and leopard troops threw more than 200 grenades at the city in a row, the tenants on the city wall were almost blown up, and finally stopped. Then, he quickly rushed to the thick gate of Wangjiabao, lit a huge explosive bag, and leaned against the city gate.

The explosion of "boom ......" shook the mountains at the city gate, and the two heavy city gates were directly torn apart by gunpowder.

The gates of the city were opened, and the defenders of the city walls suffered heavy losses...... More than a hundred tiger and leopard troops did not hesitate at all. It was like an angry lion, holding a musket, roaring and pouring into Wangjiabao......

The main hall of Wangjiabao faced the tiger and leopard army that was constantly pouring into Wangjiabao like a flood that burst the embankment. The head of the Wang family, who was sitting in the main hall, was directly stunned. Then, a trace of unprecedented despair appeared directly on his face.

looked at the family members around him who were also sluggish, even pale. The head of the Wang family, who had realized that death was approaching him step by step, couldn't help but mutter......

"It's over, it's all over...... The hundred-year-old inheritance of our royal family is all regretted in my hands...... I really didn't expect that the sky in Gaoyang County would change when it was said, and such a strong army would emerge...... I knew this was the case, so why bother in the first place......"

However, at this moment, the head of the Wang family has no time to sigh.

Because, the wolf-like tiger and leopard army has rushed into the lobby. A few shiny bayonets, directly against his chest. As long as he makes a move, the head of the family can be sure that these bayonets will definitely pierce his chest without hesitation and let him return to the West......

Outside Wangjiabao, in the face of the somewhat extraordinary battle in front of him, the deputy county commander and the officials of less than 100 people were also shocked and stunned on the spot. As for the county commander Luo Cheng, because he was confident in the strong combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Army, he showed a calm expression.

At this moment, the commander of the garrison battalion spoke: "Two adults, the soldiers who entered Wangjiabao have already sent a signal. The entire Wangjiabao has been controlled by us...... Let's not go in and see how the garrison has achieved today......"

A few people, as soon as they entered the main hall of Wangjiabao, the lieutenant company commander who led the attack hurriedly walked over and reported loudly......

"Ladies and gentlemen, the number of kills has been counted...... In this battle, we killed a total of six soldiers and seriously wounded three...... In terms of results, we found a total of 128 corpses on the city wall, including the eldest young master of the Wang family. 29 were seriously wounded and 117 were taken prisoner. In addition, the entire Wang family's family was captured by us......"

"As for the rest of the gains, they are still being counted......"

Faced with this result, the deputy county commander was shocked again. And Luo Cheng, the county commander who was standing beside him, just nodded, and fell into deep thought.

For Luo Cheng, such a result is absolutely expected. Therefore, there is no need for Luo Cheng to be shocked at all. At this moment, what Luo Cheng needs to think about is how to use this result to promote Gaoyang's land reform......

Thinking about it, an idea of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys came to Dao Luocheng's mind.

As a result, a sneer quickly appeared on Luo Cheng's thoughtful face......

When the deputy county commander reacted from the shock, Luo Cheng spoke directly......

"Lord Wang, the official's idea is that the main figures of the Wang family, whether according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty or the laws formulated by the palace, will definitely not be able to escape the charge of rebellion."

"If it was placed in the past, what was waiting for the Wang family would be the destruction of the Nine Clans...... However, we are the Haw Par Army, not the imperial court...... In my Tiger and Par Army, no matter what you do, you only need to kill the first evil ......"

"Therefore, my idea is to behead all the main candidates of the Wang family, and all the others will be sent to the mine for labor reform. As for the Wang family's property, all of them were confiscated...... In addition, when the Wang family is beheaded, all the people in Gaoyang County who have heads and faces should be invited over to watch the punishment together......"

The eyes of the deputy county commander lit up, and he immediately understood Luo Cheng's purpose.

Without thinking about it, he said, "My lord, you want to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys...... I don't have any problems here. It's just that, according to the heart system set by the palace, interrogating prisoners and sentencing them are all matters for Lord Zhou, and I have no right to interfere. So, it depends on what Lord Zhou means......"

No matter which one is concerned, the Wang family can be sentenced to beheading. Therefore, Deputy County Commander Zhou, who manages the criminal law, did not hesitate at all and directly expressed his approval.

As a result, a big drama of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys was directly staged in Gaoyang County......

Facing the expressionless head of the Wang family on the execution table, and facing the majestic tiger and leopard army around the execution table. Everyone in Gaoyang County reacquainted themselves with the Tiger and Leopard Army and got to know the Beiwang Palace.

When a dozen round heads hit the ground, a trace of blood quickly filled the air. The faces of the gentry and landlords of Gaoyang County who came to watch the execution turned pale directly because of nervousness and fear.

At this moment, there are already many people who are glad that they are not the first bird like the Wang family, otherwise, they are the ones who cut off their heads now.

Of course, after this shock, they no longer dare to make false promises to the various documents and orders issued by the county government. Because, I don't want to be the second royal family when I sleep...... (To be continued......)
