Volume 4 Southwest Raiders Chapter 363 The Real Shocking Change (II)
The clock ticked forward slightly.
When the chaos in front of the Tusi Yamen had not really happened, a group of 5,000 elite soldiers of the Long family had already rushed to the other courtyard where the emperor was stationed, and quickly blocked all the exits of the streets and alleys in this area.
They had already received orders early on to take down this Han army that was completely loyal to the emperor today, so that they could truly control the emperor and become a puppet in the hands of their Long family.
In fact, even Long Chengbang was a little surprised, why Sun Ning was so cooperative and obedient this time, and actually agreed to be alone in today's covenant, but the 1,000 loyal soldiers who were responsible for their own safety would be left in the other garden.
Maybe he thought that the big thing had been decided and deliberately showed favor to the Long family?
Or did he have something else in mind?
Anyway, this result is extremely beneficial to the Long family, and Long Chengbang and Long Jingyao are also convinced that in their own Kuizhou City, Sun Ning can't play any tricks at all with only a few thousand people, so even the precautions are not too strict.
It wasn't until they realized that the overall situation had been decided, so they made a covenant with the emperor in front of the Tusi Yamen in front of the people of the city, and on the other hand, they sent elites to attack the other garden, intending to catch them all.
But just when they had fully guarded all the entrances and exits around them, and surrounded and killed the other garden, they were surprised to find that the target was actually empty, and there was no figure in sight.
"Where did they go? Could it be that they have sensed danger and fled? ”
Several officers looked at each other, making conjectures, but Long Chuang, who was the leader, sneered disapprovingly: "They can't get out of the city, they must still be hiding somewhere in Kuizhou." Let's go search in detachment! ”
Anyway, today's Kuizhou is empty, and they have all gone to watch the alliance between the two sides, so a big search of the whole city will not cause much turmoil.
What's more important is that they don't think that there is really much threat to the 1,000 Han Chinese army, as long as they find them, it is not a matter of being captured?
Therefore, the 5,000 soldiers and horses were quickly divided into five teams, except for the Tusi Yamen area in the city, there were soldiers and horses in all directions to go quickly, and the target could be explored.
Long Chuang personally took a thousand people and went to the west of the city, where there were fewer houses and more official warehouses, maybe those guys would take advantage of this loophole and hide in these warehouses guarded by only a few people.
So, he led people all the way to the west of the city quickly, even if he heard the sound of riots in the city halfway, Long Chuang did not mean to bring troops back to support. Because in his opinion, even if there are occasional changes over there, there are also manpower control, and finding the 1,000 Han talents is the key.
As a result, when the rapid march finally came to the largest granary in the west of the city, they saw the corpses of twenty or thirty guards on the ground in front of the gate, and the blood on the ground had not yet dried.
"It's those Han dogs, follow me in!"
After seeing this scene, both Long Chuang and the soldiers under his command were furious, and completely ignored the danger, just shouted directly and rushed into the open warehouse door.
And just as they rushed straight into the warehouse, and even half of the people who stayed outside did not make arrangements, in the quiet shadows of the streets and alleys outside, a team of more than 200 soldiers of the Japanese battalion suddenly flashed.
With a wave of the officer's hand, several soldiers in the team rushed forward and quickly closed the open warehouse door with all their hands and feet.
And the rest of the people were not idle, and at this time they had already brought out a large amount of dry firewood that was also hidden in the corners of the streets, piled it up in front of the storehouse, and set it on fire a little more, and the rising flames quickly began to spread and spread in all directions.
Yes, they had already prepared for it, and even the hidden dry wood had been drenched with flammable materials such as spirits and oil, so that a little fire was needed at this time, and the flames could engulf the entire front of the granary.
This is not the end, even in the warehouse, the mountain of grain, they were also poured with fire oil, as the fire spread outside, soon, these grains that were the most afraid of fire also burned, and then spread to the entire warehouse, turning all the buildings into huge torches.
The Long warriors inside were shocked when the gate of the granary was suddenly closed from the outside, and quickly turned around and ran out, trying to crash open the door and escape.
But at this time, the soldiers who had quickly put down the dry firewood had already taken out the bows and crossbows that had been prepared earlier, and waves of arrows fell into the warehouse like raindrops, shooting directly at these barbarian warriors with countless casualties, and in the end they could only retreat from the queen of Cang, not daring to think about breaking open the door again.
And when they came back to their senses and wanted to get out of the place, the fire had completely enveloped the entire warehouse, and their thousands of people had completely fallen into the desperate situation of the flames, and there was no possibility of escape.
And the fire in the granary here is just the beginning of this big trouble in Kuizhou.
This time, the elite soldiers of the Japanese battalion were divided into six or seven teams early, and according to the positions they had explored before, they all killed the most important warehouses in Kuizhou City.
Granaries, armories, cloth warehouses...... These are related to the people's livelihood and the combat strength of the army, and the wealth that the Long family has worked hard to accumulate for generations has become the target of their destruction and burning.
And in order to make this scene real, in order to control everything at that time, in addition to the guards of each gate, the Long family today brought almost all the soldiers and horses that could be mobilized in the city to the Tusi Yamen, which naturally gave the soldiers of the Japanese battalion a chance to take advantage of the situation.
The hundreds of guards left behind in the warehouses were completely defenseless, how could they be the elite opponents of the Vietnamese army who planned to raid by surprise?
So they were all killed, and all the warehouses were taken.
After waiting for the order to fire in this warehouse, the warehouses were also set on fire by the soldiers.
Suddenly, fires broke out everywhere in Kuizhou City, and the wealth accumulated by the Long family for several generations and more than 100 years was completely burned.
Thanks to Long Chengbang, as the patriarch of the family, he had already been shot and killed by a secret weapon, otherwise if he saw such a situation, he would probably have to die directly from anger, which would be much worse than being instantly killed by a highly poisonous secret weapon.
With the fire in Kuizhou City everywhere, as the people in front of the Tusi Yamen trampled on each other, countless casualties, and with the death of Long Chengbang and Long Jingyao, who were the backbone of the Long family, at the same time, the shocking changes in the entire Kuizhou really came.
Because at this time, the sound of the whining horn also rose urgently from outside the city, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly rushed out of the forest outside the city, shouting, and rushed towards the Kuizhou city wall.
The guards and horses in the city have long been overwhelmed by the constant changes in the city, and they don't know how to deal with it when they see a large number of enemy troops killed.
