When I woke up in the morning, the smell of the military mosquito repellent tablets had cleared from the previous night, and the troops had brought back water from the river outside the village. The aroma of food wafts through the smoke. Qin Mohuan likes pumpkin rice very much, this huge plant that is said to come from thousands of miles away has a very special sweet taste, and it is not heartburn when eaten, and it is also very smooth.

Breakfast is pumpkin, corn and red date noodle soup porridge, that is to say, the pumpkin, corn and red dates are washed and stewed in a pot, and the batter is stirred in after the water boils. In addition, there are steamed buns, pickles, and military cured meats for breakfast. As the aroma of the food wafted out, the children of the family next to them couldn't help but look around the army. Before the children could get closer, the family over there pulled the children home. Then I heard the faint crying of the child.

In the morning, the troops sent scouts to reconnoiter Zhujiazhuang, thinking that Zhujiazhuang might take the initiative to attack. After investigation, it was found that the door of Zhujiazhuang was closed and it was fully defended. I got the news at noon that I wanted to explore the horse again. It would be great if the people of Zhujiazhuang could come out to fight. The Red Turbans were confident that they would annihilate these bastards in one fell swoop in the field.

As soon as the work was arranged, a guard came to report, "The family next to me ran out of the village with the child." ”

"Running out of the village?" Qin Mohuan was very surprised. The reason why people don't take care of those families is because these families not only have women, but also children. Looking at the appearance of those people, they belong to a very normal family. If it is a spy, it must be only a few people who are convenient to move, or some unrelated female relatives to act as a cover. One look at the relationship and know that it is not a family.

What kind of trouble did the newly returned family run away from the village?

"Go and stare at it." Qin Mohuan ordered.

Not long after, the sentry came back and reported, "The family is outside picking wild vegetables and digging birds' nests." ”

Qin Mohuan probably knew the situation of the family, and he didn't bring anything to eat. The instructor next to him sighed: "It seems that I went out to hide for dinner." ”

The sentry was a little puzzled, so he asked, "Instructor, what do you mean by hiding from dinner?" ”

The instructor replied, "There are children in that family, and when they smell our food this morning, they cry." Adults can endure it, but how can children endure it. The family was also angry, afraid that the child would cry again, so they simply took the child to avoid our meal. ”

Qin Mohuan sighed in his heart that the instructor was proficient in people's hearts, but he still didn't believe it. When it was almost time for dinner, the Red Turbans began to burn the fire, and the family took the child out again. sent someone to keep an eye on it, and found that the family didn't do anything special, just coaxed the child. They waited until the Song army had finished eating, and they returned.

Seeing that the situation was as the instructor said, Qin Mohuan said, "There should be something left over from our things." Give one to each member of the family. ”

The instructor said, "Don't scare people. Don't we have a special food box for rice, put the food in it, and deliver it to that door? ”

The next day, the family went out again early in the morning, and the sentinel reported that they had begun to trim the barren farmland. The bowl after eating was carefully put into the food box and placed in a very close and conspicuous place away from the Red Turban Army. Hearing that the family had begun to resume farming, Qin Mohuan sighed: "I will also prepare a meal for them at noon." ”

The official troops of the Red Turban Army had a very sufficient food guarantee, and all that was left over from the pot after the troops finished cooking was far more than the food of ordinary landlords in Hebei. This was the case every day for the next two days. The man of the house finally took the initiative to come and pay a visit. The man was tall, and after seeing the salute, he said: "But I don't know that you are staying here and preparing to settle here?" ”

Ordinary people who have never read a book can't say the word 'Tuntian' anyway, Qin Mohuan responded: "We are going to fight Zhujiazhuang." ”

"Seeing that you are so cautious, I think you have entered it."

"Hmm. Spared by the authenticity of Zhujiazhuang. Qin Mohuan tried his best to answer in a calm tone.

"I've heard the rumors of the Great Song Heavenly Soldiers, and I've also seen some notices. It is said that the Great Song Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers will never bypass the traitors. But he also promised not to hurt the Han people. Now that I have seen your words and deeds, it is indeed so. That Zhujiazhuang has been cultivated for two generations for 20 years, relying on them to be the marquis of the Han army, and every year they have to catch the surrounding people to do hard labor for them. My family knows a little bit about the doorway built by Zhujiazhuang. ”

Qin Mohuan nodded slightly, "Please also ask Mr. to teach me." ”

An hour later, Qin Mohuan went to the battalion commander to report the latest news. The battalion commander was not particularly happy when he heard this, but asked, "Can you believe what this man says?" ”

Qin Mohuan replied: "Battalion commander, we have already discussed how to fight Zhujiazhuang. The way to discuss is to blow up the wall and go straight to the core area of Zhujiazhuang. Let's try what this person said. If what he says is true, it can help us walk a little less. If what is said is false, it will not affect us in the slightest. ”

Hearing this, the battalion commander looked at Li Fangfang, the commander of the second company. Breaking down exterior walls is a common method, but destroying ordinary walls feels weird. However, when Li Fangfang went to rescue Qin Mohuan last time, she blasted the ordinary wall. This practice has expanded the operational thinking of the troops, and the troops are pursuing victory. Being able to attack the enemy's core directly is always the most efficient means.

After a little discussion, everyone added the latest news to the attack plan. The task of taking charge of the new blasting route was given to the company that had suffered considerable losses in the First World War. The troops of the Red Turban Army had been quickly rebuilt according to the model of the Song Army, and those troops that had been carried out as a tentative had suffered relatively large losses, at least no one dared to laugh at them. The army is a unit, and a company uses blood and life to accumulate experience for everyone, and those who mock it will be imprisoned.

After making a decision, the next day the troops got up before dawn and set off after breakfast in the early morning. Qin Mohuan arrived outside Zhujiazhuang again, and his heart was full of flames of revenge. The door of Zhujiazhuang was closed, and it looked still quiet. The ten-pound field guns of the Song army began to fire fiercely as last time. However, this time the gate seemed to be more resistant, and after more than a dozen shots in a row, the gate had not yet fallen. Twenty shots were fired, and the gate was shattered. The astonished crowd looked over, but saw that the inside of the gate was firmly blocked by stones and earth.

"I'm XXOOXOOX!" Qin Mohuan couldn't help but scold.

But scolding and scolding, Qin Mohuan had no other way at this time. The people of Zhujiazhuang are obviously more comprehensively prepared. This gate didn't work, in addition to starting to do something to other doors, Song Jun also hurriedly sent a message to Zhigu Village. On the same day, several doors in Zhujiazhuang were broken, but it was found that all the doors of the village were filled to death.

On the third day, the straw bags from Zhigu Village were delivered to the outside of Zhujiazhuang. Everyone in the army prepared three straw bags to suppress Zhuang Ding at the head of the wall with artillery fire, and Qin Mohuan, the commander of the first company, took the lead in carrying two straw bags and rushed to the outside of the manor's parapet and threw the straw bags to the corner. A company of soldiers who followed closely behind Qin Mohuan also threw the straw bags they were carrying under the city wall, and then followed Qin Mohuan to retreat.

The first company was followed by the second company and the third company. Each commander threw four straw bags, and a ramp to the head of the manor wall had been made. The commanders and fighters of the Red Turban Army clenched their weapons and rushed to the wall with shouts. There were also a few strong men who were not afraid of death left on the wall, and the crossbow arrows of the Red Turban Army sent these few to the western sky in an instant.

The warriors did not pause, and threw again into the wall. A road leading from the end of the wall to the manor was paved, and the watchtower was quickly transported to the head of the wall. Several long steel drills were inserted into the ground, and the four corners of the temporary watchtower were tightly connected to the steel drills, and the lookouts quickly climbed to the top of the six- or seven-meter-high watchtower, and then began to use signal flags to direct and transmit messages.

Qin Mohuan led his troops into the city, according to the latest news. The labyrinth of Zhujiazhuang is repeated every May Day, and the second must be a dead end, and there are no other tunnels and ambushes in the dead end. For the designers of Zhujiazhuang, this is a simple setup. There are also many people in the Red Turban Army who see it this way, but there are always some people who are curious in their thinking.

Isn't this a dead end a natural safe passage? When such an idea was raised, everyone immediately realized that the dead end still had such a function.

In the design of Zhujiazhuang, the back of the dead end is also a dead end. The explosives exploded with a bang to break through the earthen wall between the two dead ends, and a safe passage was opened. As soon as the smoke and dust fell, the troops invaded through the passage to a position closer to the core of Zhujiazhuang.

Kicked open a door, and saw that the shadow wall of the door was painted with dirty marks. Qin Mohuan's troops carefully poked their spears on the ground to make sure there were no traps underground. Then bypass this shadow wall, which is said to be a dead end sign, the courtyard behind it looks empty, and after checking it is determined that there are no traps, no passage for raids.

Carrying small sharp steel shovels, sappers began to dig holes in the rammed earth walls. After planing, a bag of explosives was stuffed in, and the troops withdrew. The Demoman picks up the fuse, lights it, and dodges away. Not long after, loud noises and tremors were heard, followed by smoke and dust puffing out of the courtyard.

Blowing up three passages in a row, Qin Mohuan led his troops over the ruined earthen wall, bypassed the shadow wall, and rushed out of the gate. I saw that the front suddenly opened up, and it turned out to be a large yard. At this time, there was a group of people on the opposite side, all with weapons in their hands. The leader was a young man in steel armor with a silver spear in his hand. Although his face was surprised, he still stepped forward and shouted, "Where are you waiting for the thief!" ”

Qin Mohuan finally saw the person who looked like the leader in Zhujiazhuang, and his heart was unbearable, so he went up and shouted, "I'm your Qin Mohuan and Grandpa Qin, and I don't talk nonsense, and those who dare to come forward and die." ”

Listening to Qin Mohuan's angry scolding, the silver-speared young general of Zhujiazhuang was furious, and couldn't help but take a few steps forward. Qin Mohuan asked his subordinates to stop where they were, and stepped forward with a spear himself. After such a long time, Qin Mohuan only wanted to kill people to vent his anger. The situation of the two going head-to-head has been completed, and they have no intention of retreating, so they raise their spears and kill.

In this fight, Qin Mohuan was very open-minded, and the silver-speared young general opposite turned out to be a practitioner. Although it is not as good as a female hero from a famous family like Li Fangfang, it is not comparable to the kind of guy who has practiced a little martial arts. However, after all, Qin Mohuan has been alive and well on the battlefield until now, and he has learned a lot from Li Fangfang in recent months. Although the silver spear junior of the Zhu family is stronger than ordinary people, his understanding of spearmanship is too far from Qin Mohuan.

Qin Mohuan just relaxed a little on the left, and the silver-speared young general was deceived and attacked from this seemingly short place. Seeing that the young general stabbed forward too hard, Qin Mohuan blocked it horizontally. His strength was much greater than that of the silver spear general, and this block bounced the opponent's spear high. Just when the other party's figure was unstable, Qin Mohuan had already drawn his gun and came back, and the gun was like a dragon, and it was inserted in the chest of the silver spear general.

If it is an ordinary enemy, this shot will definitely kill the opponent. However, with a single shot, Qin Mohuan knew that he had thought of something wrong. The silver-speared general on the opposite side was wearing the steel armor of the Song army. This steel armor is extremely protective, and the position on the chest is also reinforced. He was so easy to fight, so he naturally used the move of stabbing the chest with a gun.

Sure enough, the tip of the spear should have pierced the steel armor in the chest, but it failed to pierce the breastplate. The feeling in the hand was that the tip of the spear with the forward stab had been firmly blocked. If the shot had been stabbed in the abdomen, it would have been at least two or three inches deep.

Cold weapon fighting is like this, it is this moment of difference, which is enough to determine life and death. The silver-speared young general of Zhujiazhuang had already staggered back a few steps, and then shouted, and fled with his subordinates around the yard, and fled into the depths of Zhuangzi without a trace. Qin Mohuan snorted coldly and shouted viciously: "You guys, it's hard to fly today!" ”

It didn't take long for the follow-up troops to start fighting in. Everyone joined forces and began to continue the attack on the core area of Zhujiazhuang.

After chasing for a while, several people suddenly appeared in front of them, they waved white flags and shouted loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are here to discuss." ”

Qin Mohuan, who was rushing in front, stopped, and he shouted angrily: "If you have anything to say, hurry up." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, as long as you withdraw from the army, we are willing to send a thousand taels of silver to your lords as hard-earned money."

"Is there anything else?" A cold woman's voice sounded beside Qin Mohuan. It turned out that Li Fangfang, the commander of the second company, rushed over.

"You let us surrender to the Great Song, we are willing to discuss."

"Would you like to discuss?" Li Fangfang's voice finally had a little heat in it, "You go back and tell your master, go and die!" ”

When those who had sent out heard this, their faces changed greatly. Li Fangfang also stopped talking, took out the revolver and immediately knocked down the nearest one. The other people in Zhujiazhuang saw that Li Fangfang was so ruthless that they turned around and ran away, and they didn't even dare to care about their companions who fell to the ground.

Li Fangfang put away the pistol, stepped forward with the spear, and the result of one shot was the guy who was churning in pain in the place. She made a sharp move, knowing that she had stabbed that person to death, Qin Mohuan felt that something was wrong. He stammered a little and asked, "Company Commander Li, is this ...... It's ......"

"Zhujiazhuang has been able to resist stubbornly until now, and he has no intention of surrendering sincerely, and it is a disaster to keep them." Li Fangfang said as she continued to move forward with a spear in her hand. The team of the second company followed behind Li Fangfang, crossed Qin Mohuan's side and continued to advance.

Qin Mohuan had gone through a fight before, and the killing intent in his heart was vented a lot. Now after listening to Li Fangfang's words, I only felt as if there was a cold wind passing through my body, and I couldn't help but shiver. Qin Mohuan needs to be emotional to muster up killing intent, now Li Fangfang has no feelings, killing people is just something she has to do, not a means to choose in order to vent something. Just such a difference made Qin Mohuan feel that he was already at a level far below Li Fangfang.

After a pause, Qin Mohuan tried his best to muster up the little battle intent he had left, and shouted to his subordinates: "Forward!" ”

At this time, it was not only Qin Mohuan and Li Fangfang who entered Zhujiazhuang. Other companies had also entered Zhujiazhuang, and after those musket units entered Zhujiazhuang, the gunfire in Zhuangzi was soon loud.

However, Qin Mohuan was very suspicious that the speed at which the musket team killed people might not be that high. In addition to the women and children, no matter whether the men in Zhujiazhuang had weapons in their hands or not, or whether they had surrendered or not, the company under Li Fangfang's command killed anyone they saw except for the women and children. In just half an hour, Qin Mohuan's troops, who were following Li Fangfang's troops, saw that Li Fangfang's company had killed at least two hundred people.

At this time, there was a group of Zhuang Ding from Zhujiazhuang who didn't know whether they came to the rescue, or if they were driven away by other troops and fled here. As soon as he met Li Fangfang's troops, more than a dozen people were killed at that time. The remaining fifty or sixty people fled into a courtyard.

Li Fangfang ordered to be hospitalized and then threw grenades inside. It didn't take long for the haystacks in the yard to be set on fire, and then the whole yard was on fire. Li Fangfang's troops just guarded the door and killed people when they saw them coming out.

As the fire grew bigger, there was no sound in the yard. At this time, Li Fangfang gave the order to let the troops continue to advance.

In Zhujiazhuang, with the fighting, many places were set on fire. The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and many of the places outside the owner's compound are already blazing. Qin Mohuan, who was beginning to lose his fighting mood because of the brutal killing, was in a state of confusion, but suddenly thought of a question. Before, he was still a little puzzled as to why there were only earthen walls and no roof in the labyrinth of Zhujiazhuang, but now he thinks that if Zhujiazhuang has a combustible roof, if the people attacking Zhujiazhuang set fire, the situation will probably become the same as now.

Now that the area where Zhuang Ding really lives has been burning, if you don't put out the fire and let the fire spread, probably Zhujiazhuang will be completely burned.

At this time, the troops from all walks of life had already eliminated the enemy and arrived in front of the Zhu family's compound. The outer wall of this compound is actually made of bricks, which is enough to show that the Zhu family, the former marquis of the Han army, does have a lot of financial resources. At least they had the power to force many people to contribute to the construction of the Zhu family's last fortress.

"Blow up the wall!" Li Fangfang coldly ordered. The closer she got to the enemy's core, the more ruthless Li Fangfang became.

Qin Mohuan next to him didn't dare to have the slightest confrontation, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Dig the pit and blow up the wall!" ”

The battlefield finally seemed quiet. Qin Mohuan's subordinates were busy for a while, and a hole had been carved in the wall that could accommodate the detonator. Just as he was about to detonate, he heard Li Fangfang shouting: "No." Why is there no movement in the Zhu family's compound! ”
