The fifteenth round of breaking the siege

It took twenty minutes for the minor wounds to be cleared out of the pile of corpses, and the dead and the seriously wounded who were treated as dead were left unattended. There was no reaction from the surrounding village, and it seemed that they had made up their minds to be shrunken turtles.

But Ma Angelica didn't plan to give them this opportunity, and the fireman came over with a Type 65 82mm recoilless gun. Ma Angelica gave him the order to destroy the gate of the walled village, and after a loud bang, the two thick wooden gates five meters high and two meters wide were reduced to a single push of wood.

Zhang Pan took the lead in rushing in with a Type 54 pistol in his left hand and a baleng knife in his right hand, followed by three squads of soldiers. When I entered the door, I saw the two of them lying on the ground, their faces bloodied, and they were dying. Zhang Pan didn't pay attention to it, and took a class and went straight to the hall to kill. The other two squads cleaned up house to house along the left and right sides, captured the prisoners, and shouted "Kneel to the ground and die!" all the way. The closed doors were kicked open, and the dejected Ding Zhuang was forced out by the bayonet, leaving behind a group of old and weak women and children who were screaming. Some women grabbed their relatives who were taken away and refused to let go, and were directly smashed to the ground by the soldiers with the butt of a rifle. Some Ding Zhuang, who refused to lay down their arms and tried to resist in vain, received a bullet, and someone blocked the door with furniture, only to receive a grenade thrown through the window.

As soon as Zhang Pan rushed into the patio in front of the hall, he saw an arrow shooting at him from the rooftop. Because of the soldiers following closely behind him, he couldn't dodge and dodge, so he had to swing the Baleng knife vigorously to dial. I only heard the sound of "dang", and the collision between the blade and the arrow brought up a few sparks, and then castration was unabated, and the sound of snatching was nailed to the column of the eaves, and the tail feathers were still shaking.

The soldier behind Zhang Pan raised his hand and fired a shot, and the archer grabbed his shoulders and fell off the roof. Two consecutive blows made him hurt a lot, lying on the ground and unable to get up for a while, and blood slowly oozed out between the right fingers covering his left shoulder. Zhang Pan was shocked into a cold sweat, his heart was on fire, and he stepped forward with a brisk step, and the cold knife in his hand was raised high. "Keeping people under the knife ——!" With a shout, a figure pounced out of the hall and lay on top of the archer, trying to block Zhang Pan's knife with his body. The act of sacrificing his life to save people made Zhang Pan's knife stop, although this person turned his back to himself and couldn't see his appearance, but looking at the hair and clothes, it could be seen that this "don't die" person was a young woman, which made his knife unable to cut. Looking up into the hall, there were twenty or thirty Ding Zhuang gathered inside, although they were holding knives and guns in their hands, their desperate eyes and trembling hands exposed the fear in their hearts. Behind them were twice as many old men, women, and children, with the same frightened eyes, the same trembling bodies. Zhang Pan pointed a knife at the people in the room and shouted, "Put down your arms!" Kneel down to avoid death! The soldiers who entered the patio one after another also shouted, and a dozen or so people suppressed nearly a hundred people from the momentum, so that they did not dare to move.

An old man in his sixties stepped out of the crowd, knelt tremblingly in front of the steps, and bowed his head to the ground. "General Kaig! I am willing to tie my hands, and I hope that the general will let go of the Lu family's full of women and children! Infected by the old man, the people in the house also knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and words such as "mercy" and "spare life" came and went. Zhang Pan walked up to the old man, looked down at the pouting guy like an ostrich at a 45-degree angle, and asked in the tone of a conqueror, "Who are you?" ”

"The sinner Lu Shuanghe is the patriarch of the Lu clan." The old man raised his head, his wrinkled face adorned with a few old age spots, his eyes welling up with tears, and he tried to make a pitiful appearance in order to win the pity of the occupiers.

"Sinners! What crime have you committed? Zhang Pan would not let him go as the "culprit" just because the other party was an old man, and the leader had the final say on how to deal with him, but asked in a cold tone.

"The little old man offended the general Huwei, he didn't measure his strength, he wanted to fight against Wang Shi, and he knew that he was guilty. I don't dare to ask the general for forgiveness, just ......" he pointed to Ding Zhuang and the women and children kneeling behind him, "It's just that they are all innocent, and I hope that the general will be merciful and let go of the Lu family!" After speaking, he grabbed the ground with his head, and knocked his head a few times in a row, making his forehead bruise.

"Humph! Hum! Zhang Pan sneered twice, inserted the knife back into the canvas scabbard at his waist, and handed the pistol to his right hand. Now I'm not afraid that these people will resist, it seems that they have been frightened. "Joke! Innocent with knives and guns? Wouldn't He Liu, who of the Heaven and Earth Society, be considered a good citizen? ”

"They all rebelled against the king because they were instigated by Xiao Lao'er, and all the blame lies with Xiao Lao'er alone, and it is up to the general to kill or chop up. Please also give the general extrajudicial grace! The old man began to kowtow again, but looking at his shaky appearance, it seemed that he might faint at any moment.

Zhang Pan grabbed the old man's chest and lifted him up from the ground, glaring at him, "Don't talk nonsense!" How to deal with you still have the final say from your superiors, now let everyone in the house gather outside the village, if you dare to play any tricks, don't blame Lao Tzu's bullets for not having eyes! ”

"Yes, yes." The old man hurriedly agreed, and Zhang Pan let him go and let him go to Zhang Luo's family to leave the village. Zhang Pan then walked up to the archer who had almost wounded himself, whose wound had been simply bandaged by the soldier with a triangular scarf and sprinkled with some Yunnan white medicine. It's just that his face is pale, and it looks like he can't die for the time being. The woman who had given up to save him sat up and fed him water from a soldier's kettle. Zhang Pan kicked his foot, "Get up if you don't die!" Let's go outside and meet up! ”

The woman turned over and knelt in front of Zhang Pan, knocking to the bottom, and the people around her clearly heard the sound of her forehead hitting the ground. "General Kaig! I am young and ignorant, I misbelieve people's words, and mistake the general for a villain, which is really an unintentional mistake! I also hope that the general will be generous and give the people a way to live, and the little woman is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the general's great kindness! The words were said quickly and nonsense, and Zhang Pan barely understood. Only then did he have time to see the woman's appearance, a woman in her early twenties, with a common bun style for women in the Qing Dynasty. The flowing sea in front of his forehead has become a mess because of kowtowing. The two willow leaf thin eyebrows were slightly upturned, the long eyelashes trembled gently, a pair of big eyes were full of tears, the straight nose opened and closed with the frequency of convulsions, and the round and pale lips quickly spit out syllables one by one. The royal blue phoenix collar round placket short cheongsam on the upper body, and the pleated skirt of the same color on the lower body, at first glance, are the family members of rich and noble families. It's just that now a pear blossom with rain, Chu Chu looks pitiful, which makes people feel pity.

Zhang Pan's gaze was very aggressive, and the woman was a little embarrassed, so she had to bow her head to avoid his gaze. "Who are you?" At this time, Mr. Captain did not forget his identity, nor did he make a move inconsistent with his identity, but just changed his indifferent eyes to look at the woman prostrate in front of him.

The woman couldn't cry anymore, and Lu Shuanghe on the side replied on her behalf: "The two of them are Xiao Lao'er's nephew and niece, their parents died when they were young, and they have been living in Xiao Lao'er's house. Just offended the general, but it was really the instigation of the little old man, and he asked the general to spare their sister and brother! After saying that, he kowtowed again and again.

Seeing a large group of people kowtowing to himself, even Zhang Pan, who has accepted the concept of equality since he was a child, can't help but feel a little superior, but being majestic in front of a weak woman is not in line with Mr. Captain's values. He turned sideways and stopped looking at the woman, "Our army never kills innocents indiscriminately!" I'll give you a fair deal later. Now I'm going out to gather, and if you want to play tricks, you're killing yourself. The soldiers around him also shouted, "Hurry up!" Come on! "The flashing bayonet adds to the persuasiveness. The people in the hall helped the old and the young slowly walk out of the walled village, and the wounded archers also joined the team with the help of their sister.

Teams of prisoners were escorted to the drying ground outside the walled village. The wounded lay on the ground, groaning in pain from time to time; Ding Zhuang squatted to the side dejectedly, looking at the soldiers with foreign guns around him nervously, waiting for his fate; The Lu family's inner family was placed on the other side, and the women and children were secretly sobbing, afraid that the loud voice would annoy the group of soldiers. After the battle, the Lu family and villagers with foreign surnames who lived outside the walled village went out to inquire about the situation, and they probed their brains from a distance, and Ma Angelica didn't care about them. The villagers were secretly glad that this group of soldiers did not take a plunder, and they couldn't help but resent the Lu clan who caused trouble. Some of the villagers whose loved ones were killed immediately fell into great grief and cried over the bodies of their loved ones. Some villagers saw their relatives who had become prisoners and tried to rush into the drying field, but they were forced to retreat by the soldiers' bayonets, so they had to kneel on the sidelines and kowtow repeatedly, crying and shouting. Ma Angelica also turned a deaf ear to this.

Lu Shuanghe and several elders of the Lu family were escorted to Ma Angelica, and they consciously knelt in front of the general who looked like a bigger official without being ordered. It was begging for mercy, repentance, and sycophancy, and all kinds of flattery poured out. Words such as "wise and powerful" and "extraordinary" were all added to Ma Angelica, whom they had never seen and whose name they did not know.

Seeing a few old people who were about the same age as his father kneeling in front of him made Ma Angelica feel a little awkward, but he didn't intend to instill the concept of equality in these rich people. Turning his head to Zhang Pan and asking, "Have you caught everyone?" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Pan took out the statistics, "In the battle just now, 117 people were killed or seriously injured on the spot, and 33 people were lightly wounded and captured; After entering the village, he killed 27 diehards and captured 165 strong men; The head of the Lu family has 218 descendants; The squad at the back door killed seven people and took twenty-five prisoners. Hearing that there were nearly 200 dead and injured people before and after, several old men surnamed Lu thought that most of them were children surnamed Lu, because their decision had caused so many orphans and widows, they couldn't help but be sad and indignant, and two of them actually fainted from crying.

Although Ma Angelica is a member of the Standing Committee of the Management Committee, he also has his own ideas on the handling of these people, but the final decision must be discussed collectively by the Management Committee. Those who take up arms to resist must be punished accordingly, and the old men surnamed Lu who are the masterminds are even more guilty, but they must also try not to implicate innocent people. So he ordered: "All the strong men who participated in the rebellion should be brought back!" He pointed to a few kneeling old men: "They will all take them back, so that the brothers of Jinyiwei can have a good trial!" ”

When several old men heard that they were going to enter the prison of Jinyiwei, they immediately panicked. Although 200 years have passed, the murderous reputation of the former DPRK's secret service is still circulating among the people. Although they are rich people in the countryside, they still know what Jinyiwei is. So several clan elders put the blame on the patriarch Lu Shuanghe, and said that they were instigated and innocently implicated.

Ma Angelica did not pay any attention to them, and ordered the soldiers to prepare to take them back. Zhang Pan led people to find some long hemp ropes, and the strong men were tied to their right arms one by one and were chained together, and the wounded were no exception, only those who injured their feet were carried by the two captives with the door panel. Several old men were treated preferentially, and Zhang Pan found an ox cart to transport them, and did not tie them up with ropes. They are all fifty or sixty years old, and they are not afraid of them running away.

As the procession set out, there was another wave of horse fleas, and some villagers cried and grabbed their clothes when they saw their loved ones being tied up and taken away. Of course, the soldiers will not be polite to those who hinder their mission, and the soft-hearted ones will only pull them away and push them aside; If you are hard-hearted, you will directly punch and kick and drag it with a gun; This situation reminded Ma Angelica of two sentences in Du Gongbu's "Soldier Carriage Travel" - "Ye Niang's wife sent each other off, and the dust did not see Xianyang Bridge." Tie Yi stopped crying, and the cry reached thousands of clouds. "I've seen a lot of scenes like this in previous movies, but those are the preserve of the Japanese, the warlords or the Kuomintang, and they are the villains that he hated since he was a child. I didn't expect to come to such a show today, maybe it was half a year of doomsday life that hardened my heart, right? What a wonderful experience in life!

Lu Shuanghe's niece changed tactics after being pushed down twice, and only followed the team from a distance. The broken soldier scared her twice and didn't drive her away, always the soldier stopped and she stopped, the soldier walked and she left, and the soldier ran after her. So he left her alone and let her follow.
