Huang Wenchang's defeat of the thieves obviously made the officials and soldiers in the towns and villages around Lijiashan lose their vigilance, not to mention Liu Lizhuang in the next county.

What can a dozen patrol guards do? They could only be divided into two teams to guard near the city gates in the east and west of Liu Lizhuang Town, but fortunately, the town was not big, and only two city gates were opened.

Under the cover of night, Li Xingzhi took more than 200 soldiers of the Gangfeng Battalion and more than 100 people from the Rapid Fire Battalion to lurk next to a forest less than two miles away from the city wall, just waiting for news from Chen Wu and others in the city.

Since there was no one to patrol, Chen Wu swaggered to set up a ladder on the city wall, and ordered his brothers to move the ladder to the outer city, and hung the agreed three red lights on the city wall in a grand manner.

As the three red lights lit up, Li Xingzhi waved his big hand and ordered: "The whole army is attacking!" ”

Wang Zhong's eyes also lit up, he knew that Liu Lizhuang was already eating in his mouth, so he turned his head and said: "Brother Li'er, I will take someone to open the city gate, and you will lead the team to wait at the east gate." ”

Wang Zhong's skills, Li Xingzhi is clear, much stronger than himself, so he nodded and said, "Okay!" Then take three soldiers to the city, be careful not to kill innocents, and disperse the defenders! ”

Li Xingzhi wanted to recruit Zhang Shaoqian, naturally he didn't want to hurt his brothers, and Zhang Shaoqian's more than 100 people were good men who had fought with Jiannu's real swords and guns, if they were all absorbed, Li Jiazhai's strength would definitely be greatly improved, with the addition of these veterans who had seen blood, and the expansion of soldiers and horses in the future, hundreds of soldiers could be added immediately if there were three in one belt.

"Don't worry! Brother Li, a good man who can kill Jiannu, how could I hurt them. After Wang Zhong finished speaking, he beckoned three soldiers to follow him into the city.

There was a ladder set up in the outer city, and Wang Zhong and the others easily went up to the city wall, and then rushed directly to the east city on the city wall.

Dozens of people ran at the same time, and the movement was not small, if the officers and soldiers on duty at the gate of Dongcheng could not hear the sound again, then they would have been defeated by Jiannu the year before last.

As the footsteps gradually came, Ma Liu, the little flag of the official army, was alert in his heart, and hurriedly led people to light torches and go to the city to investigate.

It stands to reason that it is almost time now, and the people in the town must be sleeping with their mother-in-law in their arms, where will there be people running, and there are at least dozens of people listening to the sound.

However, as soon as he climbed the tower, he heard the sound of shouting and killing more than a hundred steps in front of him, and when he looked at it again, dozens of figures with knives and guns were rushing towards him.

Ma Liu was startled and hurriedly shouted, "It's not good!" It's a thief, ...... Hurry up and inform the Lord of the Hundred Households! The rest of the brothers will follow me to kill the thief. With that, he pulled out his waist knife and wanted to lead someone forward.

"Head, the city is ......!"

An officer pointed to the city and exclaimed.

"What's under the city?"

Ma Liu shouted angrily, turned his head to look down, and saw a large group of thieves under the city rushing towards the city gate, and by the light of the fire, he even saw the thieves and artillery.

Ma Liu's face changed greatly, and he resolutely ordered: "Hurry up, let's go back to the hundred households, so many thieves are not something we can deal with!" ”

As Ma Liu and others withdrew from the east gate, the men and horses of Li Jiazhai broke through the east gate of Liu Lizhuang Town without much effort, and then under the leadership of Chen Wu, they rushed directly to Zhang Shaoqian's hundred households.

After Ma Liu retreated to the hundred households, he wanted to cry without tears, and all the officials and soldiers below Zhang Shaoqian from the hundred households were drunk like mud, lying in the lobby horizontally.

Soon.

The people of Lijiazhai also followed Chen Wu into the hundred households.

"Surrender or kill! The owner of this village is Li Xingzhi, and I am here to kill Liu Dachang's dog thief, as long as you hand over your weapons, the owner of this village will never touch you. ”

Li Xingzhi was carrying a knife, and the firecrackers, bird-shacklers, and archers raised their guns and bows to approach Ma Liu and the others who were at a loss.

Ma Liu will be nervous and want to scold his mother, his mother's Gao Yang said that he had already suppressed Li Xingzhi, and now it seems that this must be a false report of war exploits, just look at the equipment of this gang of thieves, in addition to clothes, which point is not as good as the official army, and I don't know where to get so many fire guns and bird guns this day.

Seeing that Ma Liu and the others were still hesitant, Li Xingzhi spoke again: "Immediately hand over the weapon, the owner of this village will never embarrass you, our Gaoyang Righteous Army only kills corrupt officials and corrupt officials who are unkind to the rich, you are all good men who kill Tartars, Li will never hurt your life." ”

Baihu and Zongqi were lying on the ground and couldn't move, Ma Liu had no idea, and saw that Li Xingzhi and the others were so powerful that they had to throw down the knife helplessly.

Li Xingzhi was overjoyed, his original intention was to recruit Zhang Shaoqian, and now it is naturally best not to hurt people's lives, and immediately said: "Wang Zhong, you will first bring Wushi's soldiers to control them, and the owner of this village will lead people to break Liujiawu Fort first." ”

Wang Zhong suddenly received the order, and after Li Xingzhi took people away, he smiled and said: "Brothers, I can't help it, Wang has a duty, so I can only tie you up first, and then greet my brothers when the owner of my village breaks Liujiawu Fort." ”

With a wave of his hand, he ordered his soldiers to step forward and tie people up, Ma Liu and the others didn't dare to resist, so they had to let Wang Zhong and them kidnap people, as for Zhang Shaoqian and the others, they haven't woken up yet!

When Li Xingzhi led the army into the city, Liujiawu Fort had already received the news that there were thieves in the town, and Liu Dachang, who was sleeping with his concubine in his arms, could still sleep.

When the thieves invade the town, they must be robbing, who are they robbing? Thieves won't rob those people who can't deduct half a cent of silver between their teeth, haha! The only goal must be myself.

However, Liu Dachang is not afraid, he repaired this dock fort very firmly, the wall is one and a half zhang high, the courtyard wall is made of double-layer bricks, and there are six corner towers and two gatehouses on the wall, and there are more than 100 courtyards in the fort, plus so many tenants, it is not so easy for thieves to get in.

Therefore, Liu Dachang hurriedly ordered: "Quick, notify all the guards to defend the corner tower and gatehouse, bring all the guys, and set up a ladder for the old man on the wall, let the archers go to the wall, and then inform the tenants of the family to carry the materials, as long as the old man guards the dock fort, two ...... per person A tael of silver. ”

Those guards didn't dare to slack off, because no one knew if these murderous thieves would let themselves go once they broke the fort.

The tenants were also in a panic to carry materials under the command of the guard, prepare the equipment for guarding the fort, and then lit the fires and torches on the corner tower, gatehouse and courtyard wall, until the Liujiawu Fort was lit up as if it was day.

At the same time, Liu Dachang ordered the housekeeper Liu Cheng to carry out hundreds of taels of silver, and shouted: "As long as you hold the dock fort, this silver will be distributed to everyone, and there are still Zhang Baihu's officers and soldiers in the city, how can the thieves attack my Liujiabao with all their might?" ”

The wealth is moving, and a group of nurses and tenants look at the silver shining in the firelight, and one by one they can still take care of their fears, and they have entered the reserved places to keep the danger.
