"Don't be afraid, the emperor is in the camp outside the city, as long as we rush over and go to the emperor, we can save our lives."

On the wall of the Kong family, there were dense people.

Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and a few old men stood at the front of everyone, loudly cheering for the Kong family behind them.

"Yes, what Master Lu said is right, our family has fallen to this point today, it was all done by Zhu Zhangui's brute, the emperor has been deceived by him, as long as we rush over, see the emperor, tell him everything, and expose the conspiracy of Zhu Zhangui's beast, our whole family will be safe."

Several elders of the Kong family who have not died are also shouting loudly.

But for some reason, they are a little lacking in confidence.

Is the emperor outside? They didn't know that all this was said by Lu Zhen.

If the Emperor hadn't been outside, they'd be completely finished.

"All on alert, damn it, if you dare to come down, you will kill one."

The officer looked at the dense crowd of people on the city wall, and his face was extremely solemn.

Looks like these guys are going to fight hard!

Turning his head to look at the hundreds of soldiers around him, the officer was a little worried, not knowing if he could stop the Kong family.

On the city wall, there are not only people from the Kong family, but also many people who protect the courtyard. These people are physically strong, but they all have a certain amount of combat effectiveness.

And more importantly, these people also removed the door panel and used it as a shield.

Although the flintlock pistol was not small, the officer was not confident that it could penetrate the thick door.

The door panels of the Kong family are all high-quality wood, and the hardness is no worse than that of ordinary shields.

"Don't wait, be careful that they bring troops over, and let the guards rush forward."

As the people gathered, Lu Zhen glanced at the distance, saw a faint figure running towards this side, and knew that the Shenji Battalion had sent reinforcements over, so he hurriedly beckoned a few clan elders around him and asked them to hurry down.

The patriarch also understood the seriousness of the situation, and shouted at the guards who made shields from the door panels: "As long as you can protect us today, when you see the emperor, the family will not only remove your slavery, but also give you countless monetary rewards, and you can let your children worship in the Confucian family to study." ”

When the family members heard such a heavy reward, they were all in high spirits.

It doesn't matter if they are dissolved from slavery or monetary rewards, what attracts them is that they can let their children study in the Confucian family.

The Kong family, the saint family!

If you can enter the court as a disciple of the Confucian family, not to mention soaring in the future, it will be no problem to become an official of the governing side.

Thinking that their children would be able to become officials in the future, the guards yelled loudly and slid down the rope from the city wall with the door panel on their backs.

"Fucking death!"

Seeing that these guys really didn't want to die down, the officer scolded in a low voice, pulled out his waist knife, swung it forward, and shouted: "First row shooting!" ”

"Bang bang..."

More than 30 shooters in the first row, who had been prepared for a long time, aimed at the figure sliding down from the city wall, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Puff..."

Bullets flew wildly, hitting the back door panel of the family's nursing home.

Occasionally, one or two unlucky ones were hit in the hands and feet, and fell down with a terrible scream.

Seeing that in the first round of shooting, only two or three people were knocked down, the officer's face became more and more solemn.

"Second row shooting!"

"Bang bang..."

Another row of gunshots rang out.

The Kong family's nurse, who was sliding down from the wall, quickly stopped and shrank his hands and feet behind the door panel.

In this round of shooting, all of them were fired on the door panels and walls, and no one was knocked down.

"Fuck it!"

The officer cursed in a low voice, and with a wave of his sword, he ordered all the soldiers to prepare for close combat.

"Head, reinforcements are coming!"

With the completion of the third round of shooting, the guards of the Kong family had already jumped off the city wall. With their shields and weapons on their heads, they slowly approached the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion.

And just as the officer raised his sword and was about to give the order to the whole army to fight, the sound of neat footsteps sounded behind him, and at the same time, the soldier's cry of surprise sounded.

The officer glanced back, and saw a group of soldiers carrying guns and leading a man at the entrance of the street in the distance.

"It's the Commander!"

Seeing the saber on the waist of the leader, he immediately recognized it when he looked closely, this was their commander, the grandson Zhu Zhangui.

Zhu Zhangui, who rushed over with people, understood at a glance the difficulties encountered by the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who blocked the door.

In this regard, he was also helpless.

This is the difficulty of firearms in the current era.

Without the cooperation of artillery, in the face of the enemy's shield array, the musketeer's fire can easily be restrained to death.

As long as the enemy uses his shield to block the projectiles fired by the musketeers, and can no longer use the speed of fire to suppress the enemy, the musketeers can only fight the enemy with bayonets.

"The Exotic Reclamation of Vegetable Skeletons"

"Come on, pull up Lao Tzu's cannon, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, this broken door panel can block the artillery!"

When the soldiers rush to the place and take their places.

Zhu Zhangui shouted, and dozens of soldiers pushed a light artillery piece up.

This time when he came to Shandong, Zhu Zhangui brought two light artillery pieces.

In order to allow these two artillery pieces to keep up with the team, the cavalry team sent hundreds of cavalry to drag them to Shandong.

"What is this?"

On the city wall, seeing the reinforcements coming from the Shenji Battalion, the Kong family, who had an ugly face, noticed the artillery pushed up from behind, and asked Lu Zhen suspiciously.

Lu Zhen, who was questioned, thought about it for a while, and replied: "This thing is called artillery, and the sound is very loud, like thunder rolling, and its function is to deter the enemy on the battlefield and frighten the enemy's war horse." ”

Lu Zhen had heard of artillery, but he had never seen it with his own eyes when it was powerful on the battlefield.

He hadn't been to battle, he had only heard about it.

Say that the sound is like thunder, and a thousand steps away can kill people.

He had some doubts about this.

After all, the last time he exercised, he only saw the artillery firing empty guns there.

So he, like those who don't know it, thinks that artillery is scary with sound.

"I see, then it's okay, although my family's guards are not elite soldiers, they are not just voices that can be frightened."

"Look, those guys are back!"

Just when the Kong family on the city wall was just relieved, the soldiers blocking the exit of the city gate suddenly retreated quickly.

"Haha, they retreated, we won, we won!"

Seeing the inexplicable retreat of the Shenji Battalion, the Kong family, who didn't understand what was going on, thought that the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion saw that their weapons could not penetrate the defenses of the guards, so they fled in a hurry.

The Shenji Battalion retreated suddenly, and Lu Zhen was first overjoyed, and then had doubts in his heart.

This is not right, the Shenji Battalion is also one of the three major battalions, and its combat effectiveness cannot be so weak, it was still aggressive just now, why did it suddenly retreat?

Could it really be that the emperor knew what the Taisun was doing to prevent a bigger mess, and ordered the Shenji Battalion to retreat.

With this thought in his mind, Lu Zhen was instantly overjoyed, and shouted at the Kong family: "It's the emperor, it's the emperor who knows about the matter here, it must be him who ordered the Shenji battalion to retreat and let us out." ”

When the Kong family heard Lu Zhen's chanting, tears of excitement welled up in their eyes.

Finally survived.

Dog Emperor Dog Taisun, you wait!

When we go out, we won't let you be pointed out by thousands of people and leave a stench for thousands of years, we will not be the Kong family.

Soon, a few young men of the Kong family, who couldn't wait, quickly slid down the rope.

The Kong family, who were waiting above, saw that the people who went down were not shot by the Shenji Battalion, and they were instantly in high spirits.

Sure enough, it was the emperor's order, otherwise it would be impossible for the Shenji Battalion to face the defenseless Kong family.

Seeing that it was completely safe, the people above finally couldn't stay still.

While letting Qingzhuang go down and move the things blocking the city gate, he ran to the city gate and prepared to leave the city.

As for things like property at home, they don't care about it.

It is important to save your life first, as long as your life is still there, these things will not be readily available in the future.

The retreat of the Shenji Battalion was not what the Kong family thought, but the old man gave the order.

It was Zhu Zhangui who ordered the retreat.

It's not that Zhu Zhangui is soft-hearted, or because he's afraid.

Instead, he thought about what if the Kong family's guards were defeated, and the Kong family couldn't come down when they saw the power of the cannon.

Do you want the soldiers to rush into the city and kill people?

Zhu Zhangui, who didn't want the soldiers to take risks, rolled his eyes slightly and thought of a way.

Let the soldiers retreat first, so that the Kong family thinks that their side is afraid.

Then they went out of the streets of the big city, and they were strangled at both ends.

Qufu City has been completely abandoned.

At the moment when the plague occurred, the few people in the city who did not flee due to the disaster had been evacuated by the government and isolated elsewhere.

Now in Qufu City, there are only the Kong family and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, oh no, there is also a book of the Ministry of Rites.

Lu Zhen and several clan elders of the Kong family, who stayed on the city wall, saw that there was no shadow of the retreat of the Shenji Battalion.

The nervous heart finally let go.

"Hahaha, it seems that the emperor really ordered it."

Lu Zhen couldn't help but laugh happily.

The elders of the Kong family didn't smile, but thought with cold eyes, how to take revenge on the royal people after they went out?

Do they let them stink for 10,000 years, or provoke chaos in the world?

Soon, the people of the Kong family walked out of the wall of the Confucian Mansion under the protection of the guards of the family, and quickly ran to the gate of the city.

They don't want to stay here for a moment.

Even they don't want to come back here in their lifetime.

These days have been a nightmare for them.

The relatives around them died one by one, and the shadow of death kept hovering overhead, making their heartstrings tense all the time, constantly tormenting their spirits, and they were almost going crazy.

"Hahaha, it's the city gate, the city gate is still open, the city gate is still open, everyone rush out, the emperor is outside."

Soon, the guards in the vanguard saw the open Qufu City Gate.

And what surprised them even more was that there were no soldiers guarding the city gate.

Seeing the hope of escape, the Kong family, who had already run a little exhausted, burst out of their potential again and ran forward desperately.

Close, close.

Seeing that he was about to approach the city gate, something that made the Kong family desperate suddenly happened.

"Boom!"

With a bang, the open gates were slammed shut.

On the city walls, on the rooftops on both sides of the street, a soldier of the Famous God Machine Battalion came out with a gun.

And behind them, a group of soldiers pushed a cannon, blocking their way back.

Zhu Zhangui, who was standing on the city tower, looked at the Kong family who had been coerced, and slowly raised his hand.
