Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Battle

Fang Shiru on the side was already dead.

The housekeeper of the Fang family was like pouring beans on a bamboo tube, and told everything about the incident in one go.

Zhu Gui's face became more and more ugly, this old fox actually wanted to sacrifice the entire Datong Mansion in order to stabilize his own position?

He looked at Fang Shiru: "What else do you have to say now?" ”

Now, Fang Shiru has let it go.

He shouted "Someone", and nearly 100 guards with knife tips immediately jumped out of the four corners.

These people have fierce eyes, and they are obviously not good people.

The Fang family has been able to stand tall in Datong Mansion for many years, holding a large amount of fertile land in their hands, not just because the Fang family is rich.

In order to maintain their position, the Fang family did not hesitate to spend a lot of gold and silver to cultivate a 'cavalry'.

True, they did business with the Mongols to buy each other's horses.

It's just that this place is in the courtyard of the Fang family, and the cavalry can only be used as infantry.

"Little prince, the old man has to admit that you have a lot of means, you can twist the various forces of Datong Mansion into a mess in such a short period of time, which the old man has not done."

"But you are still too young, you dare to break into our house with these few people, now that the matter has been revealed, the old man can only let it out."

When the surrounding Fang family thugs heard this, they all drew their weapons and surrounded Zhu Gui and the others.

Seeing this, Zhu Gui didn't talk nonsense, directly pulled out his pistol, and then sent the nearest person flying.

"Fang Shiru, you also underestimate this king, if there is no matter today, this king still wants to wait for a while to settle you squires peacefully, now it seems that this king is too merciful."

With that, he waved his hand, and the two guards immediately leaned towards him, took out flintlock pistols from behind him, and waited for them.

Fang Shiru was taken aback by Zhu Gui's shooting just now.

It was very different from the Ming military firearms he had seen, and the person who was hit died of anger on the spot, which is too powerful, right?

"The person who caught the little prince will be rewarded with 10,000 silver, and we will leave Datong Mansion and go to live outside the Saiwai."

Fang Shiru shouted loudly, but he stepped back.

The Fang family was already in a mess.

These thugs raised by the Fang family were originally outlaws, and when they heard Fang Shiru's heavy reward, their eyes turned red.

They don't care what the prince or anyone in front of them, as long as they have the money to take it, their wife can cut it.

A group of people swarmed up.

Zhu Gui exchanged a pistol again and shot with both hands.

The two pro-soldiers were also well-founded and did not panic at all.

So within three zhang, smoke was filled, and three zhang away, corpses were scattered.

Rao is these outlaws, and he has never seen such a bloody scene, and he was suppressed for a while.

In their eyes, the other party's bullets are harvesting their own lives as if they don't want money.

The blood stirred up by money was quickly dominated by fear, and many people had slipped away from behind.

The Fang family was also running out, but their movements were not fast enough.

It was soon intercepted by another soldier from the Wangfu who heard the gunshots and went to intercept the Fang family's grain transportation team.

This battle, which seemed to be a huge disparity in numbers, but the difference in firepower was even greater, was resolved within a stick of incense.

Xu Yingxu also rushed over with hundreds of people.

"How is this going on?"

Xu Yingxu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the appearance in the courtyard of the Fang family.

Zhu Gui was directing people to raid the house, and after hearing Xu Yingxu's words, he immediately came over and explained to him what happened in the Fang family.

"These rich and unkind guys dare to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and they must not be tolerated, what about them?"

Xu Yingxu said indignantly.

"It's been arrested, and if you have time to interrogate again, the most important thing now is that the Mongols will attack soon, are you sure to hold Datong Mansion?"

Zhu Gui immediately asked.

He had already learned through Hu Shidao's intelligence that this might be the biggest Mongol operation in recent years.

And he also learned from Xu Yingxu that the garrison of Datong Mansion only has one guard, and it is not yet full, just over 4,000.

Coupled with lax armaments and lack of training, this battle is a bit hanging.

Sure enough, a look of embarrassment appeared on Xu Yingxu's face.

"If I am given another half a year, I am sure that I will completely drive out those Mongol tribes, but now, the situation is not optimistic, if the prince can provide some flintlock guns."

At this time, Xu Yingxu has not forgotten to think about the good things in Zhu Gui's hands.

Zhu Gui smiled bitterly and said: "Even if I can give them now, they may not be able to use it, forget it, let's let the soldiers of the Acting Wang's Mansion also go up." ”

Although there are only 100 of these soldiers, they have also undergone some shooting training in ordinary times.

Zhu Gui was ruthless, and still exchanged ninety flintlock pistols from the system store.

At the moment of the great enemy, he could not care about the risk of a possible outflow of flintlock pistols.

It's a big deal to get them back after this battle.

After the two discussed, Xu Yingxu left with someone first.

Zhu Gui asked his own soldiers to gather the government soldiers, and then handed over all their work to the militia.

And they, having been assigned flintlock muskets, were told to fight the Mongols.

Unexpectedly, these salt dealers' government soldiers cheered when they heard this.

This made Zhu Gui's heart feel a little calmer.

Zhu Gui rode a horse and led the team to the main gate of Datong Mansion.

Xu Yingxu went to inspect other places, there were only 1,000 households here, and Zhang Mao, who was woken up overnight.

Zhang Mao obviously hadn't woken up yet, and when he heard the news of the upcoming attack of the Mongols, he was still a little frightened.

When he saw Zhu Gui, he immediately greeted him.

"Lord Wang, the Mongols will come to attack the city, is this news reliable?"

"It shouldn't be wrong, by the way, let the people on the city wall extinguish all the torches, don't scare the Mongols away."

Zhu Gui said to the thousand households.

The thousand households paused for a moment, and then ran to deliver the order.

Although this battle may be extremely dangerous, once it can be held, then Zhu Gui can even ask Zhu Yuanzhang for the right to form a personal guard.

At dawn, as soon as the stars in the sky had disappeared, the sound of horses' hooves came quickly from far and near.

After a while, looking down at the city, nearly a thousand cavalrymen were waving scimitars on horseback, and they were coming towards the main gate like a mudslide.

But when they saw that the gates were closed, the speed began to slow down.

They were very bold, and they came all the way to the city.

"Hey, it's Fang Shiru on the city wall?"

There was a low roar from the city.

Zhu Gui was about to answer, but was stopped by Xu Yingxu beside him.

He whispered, "If you attack like this, these Mongols will only retreat, and if you want to inflict heavy damage on them, it is best to let them in a part." ”
