Since he was going to attack the Rong Mansion, Chen Wu's preparations would certainly not be so simple.

At the same time as the infantry battalion stepped forward, another group of ordinary volunteer battalion soldiers followed. Each of these soldiers carried a large wooden shield that he had made before he arrived. The texture of the wooden shield is very rough, that is, the double door panels are nailed together, with a layer of cowhide sandwiched in the middle, and a handle is nailed at the back, and even the paint is not painted.

Although it looks heavy and rustic, it is definitely not bad when used to prevent arrows temporarily.

In "Empire", there are guilds that have done real yàn. Not to mention the eight-bucket bow of an ordinary local army, even if it is a stone bow of the main battle force, it is difficult to shoot through such a wooden shield at a distance of sixty paces. Even if he was lucky enough to penetrate, the remaining strength would not be enough to kill.

Under the protection of this row of wooden shields, the archers of the infantry battalion calmly approached the Rong Mansion.

"Damn it!"

The four Rongfu guards on the watchtower, after seeing these infantry holding large wooden shields, their previous relaxed faces disappeared in an instant. In a panic, they began to shoot desperately. However, the effect of this large wooden shield was really good, and the four of them shot three rounds in a row, except for the small half of the misses, almost all the other arrows were blocked by the wooden shield, and the people who did not give in to the bow battalion were not damaged in the slightest.

After roughly reaching within sixty steps, it was Nanbao's infantry bow battalion that was in full swing.

At this distance, even if you shoot from the ground to the lookout, you won't suffer much. It's not impossible to get closer, but the effect of the wooden shield will be reduced. Soon, under Nanbao's drinking order, a volley was shot.

The archers of the Rong Mansion did not have a special person to raise their shields for them. Even if there is a thick wooden board in front of the lookout, it can only protect the body, not the head. After more than a dozen arrows fell, there were screams repeatedly, and the four archers were killed and wounded immediately.

The nursing home below the Rong Mansion was stunned by the scene in front of him.

However, before they could come to their senses, the second salvo of the Infantry Battalion was launched. This time, the three archers learned to behave, and all of them ducked down and hid under the baffle. The arrows of the next bow battalion were indeed helpless against them, but they also lost their threat to the rebels.

"Get on the rocket!"

Chen Wu looked at the Rongfu Nursing Courtyard that was huddled behind the baffle, and gave a new order to Nanbao.

Soon, after the infantry battalion replaced the rockets soaked in black oil with cotton wool, the torches were ignited and the third salvo began. Seeing that the fire was quickly ignited, and the people who shouted for fire rescue were also killed and injured by the stray arrows that were thrown later, the three Rongfu Guards, who were good at archery, could no longer hold on, and left the bodies of their companions and staggered down the lookout, saying that they would not go up again.

Solved the lookout of Rongfu, the infantry bow battalion is almost invincible.

Under the protection of the shield-wielding rebels, they continued to close the distance to forty paces and began to aim at the enemy on the high platform behind the courtyard wall. Anyone who dared to look up and look out would be shot at by the infantry battalion. Even, Nan Bao also commanded the infantry battalion to extend inward, and raised the angle to blindly shoot the enemy behind the courtyard wall. Although the accuracy of the head was greatly reduced because they could not see people, one only had to hear panicked shouts and screams from time to time to know that their shots were working.

Those who laughed and ridiculed the rebels before were easily beaten back by the infantry bow battalion.

In the face of death threats, no one from Rongfu dared to probe out. If you don't look at it, it is tantamount to completely giving up the initiative to the rebels, and you can only wait for death in the courtyard.

Just when these Rong Mansion's nurses were still entangled, Chen Wu didn't give them time to be entangled. With the infantry battalion overpowering the whole field, the brigade of rebels rushed forward and began to smash the door.

The dull crashing sound sounded one after another, as if it hit the hearts of these guardians and the slaves of the Rong Mansion.

Every time, it made their hearts skip a beat.

"Go up on top, stop them!"

"Don't be stupid, when these thieves enter the courtyard, everyone will die!"

The old housekeeper of the Rong family shouted hoarsely, urging the hesitant nurses to kill the thieves. A few people gritted their teeth, climbed the high platform behind the courtyard wall with iron guns, and came out to assassinate the rebels with iron guns. But just a few seconds later, a counterattack from the Infantry Battalion followed. When more than a dozen arrows came and shot the two of them, the remaining guards refused to show their heads and die, no matter what the old butler said.

After so many years in Yicheng, they have seen a lot of bandits, strongmen and thieves of all colors. But I have never heard of any thief who can have an imperial war bow and be able to line up and be protected by a wooden shield. Such thieves are no different from the army. It's okay for them to fight alone, but when they encounter such a battle formation, what can they do to fight others?

"Let's do our best."

An old nurse sighed and spoke up what the others thought.

Anyway, they are not members of the Rong family, they are just bodyguards of the nature of employees. took the Rong family's money and helped take care of the family's home. Now that the thieves are so fierce, they can't resist them at all. symbolically guarded to the end, and it was worthy of the Rong family's money. Everyone wants to live, and the people of Rongfu can't force them to die.

The only people who are really anxious are those Rong clansmen and slaves who sell themselves.

If the Rong family is finished, they won't be better.

However, there is no way to fight these nursing homes, and these who have no combat effectiveness alone will not be able to threaten the rebels. A moment later, with a cheer, the rebels slammed open the gate of the Rong family and swarmed in. The sensible nurses and some of the shopkeepers hugged together, and after making sure that the rebels would not kill indiscriminately, they immediately chose to lay down their arms and surrender. Only the Rong family's own family and domestic slaves took up arms to fight with the influx of rebels.

However, the rebel army brought by Chen Wu was full of 200 people, and the combat effectiveness was even more one-sided!

In the face of such an overwhelming advantage, Rongfu's weak counterattack, like a praying mantis blocking the car, was easily run over. In just a few minutes, the battle was quelled. The rebels chased a few escaped slaves to the inner house, making sure that no one would be let go.

The old housekeeper of the Rong Mansion was already stunned.

He thought that it would take a day at the earliest to determine the victory and defeat, but he was pacified by Chen Wu during the tea kung fu.

The number of casualties of the rebels was only five!

After a few moments, the battle was completely over. The rebels captured Rong Mansion and began to plunder gold, silver, jewelry, grain, and livestock. The people of the Guardian and Rongfu who had already surrendered were also driven aside by the two groups of rebels and guarded.

Some people who had a sense of belonging to the Rong Mansion watched the actions of the rebels with resentful eyes, and they couldn't wait for the officials and soldiers to immediately kill back and cut down these thieves. But those who gave up resistance at the earliest were more like they didn't care about themselves, and even a few were curious to observe the movements of the rebels.

"Listen to the accent, it looks like it's from Changshan Town."

There was an ear spirit who eavesdropped for a moment and came to a conclusion.

"Since the previous Wenxiang Sect, the entire Taiping County has never seen such a powerful thief, it's amazing." This is the oldest nursing home.

The person who was shot and wounded on the lookout before, while covering his wounds, peeked at the rebels' infantry battalion and the shield-wielding battalion: "It is worthy that even the Yicheng city defense battalion can be defeated, and there is indeed a set." ”

"The city defense battalion?" The person next to him scoffed at this and said, "What kind of virtue do those guys have, you still don't know?" If our brothers had been freed, they might have been able to open a city to have fun. If the officials and soldiers of Longshan Mansion come and keep these anti-thieves ......"

Realizing that he had slipped his mouth, he quickly kept silent, for fear of angering the rebels. Fortunately, because they didn't get Chen Wu's orders, these rebels didn't pay much attention to them, and more people were judging the luxurious Rong Mansion. If it was before the incident, they didn't expect that they would one day be able to break into the Viscount's Mansion openly.

For the rebel soldiers, who were peasants not long ago, this was undoubtedly a point to brag about.

Compared to the second-class baron in Changshan Town, the power and wealth of the Rong Mansion are much greater. The rebels who were running around soon stole large quantities of gold, silver, and grain from all over the place. But to Chen Wu's disappointment, these rebels did not find anything really valuable - like the Huai'an Chamber of Commerce, large amounts of golden tickets, shop title deeds, etc., were either hidden in advance or taken away. The real person in charge of the Rong Mansion, the Lord Rong with the title of Viscount, is also nowhere to be found.

Could it be that, like several directors of the Huai'an Chamber of Commerce, they got the news and fled from the privately opened east gate?
