Chapter 105: Shelling of Lizhuang
Li Huai led the staff of the government service brigade to find several houses in a row, but they all came to nothing, and only one courtyard with no one remained.
Li Xin has taken over the city defense, and it is impossible for these people to run out, they should still be in the city, but they don't know where to hide.
"Pear Village!"
Li Huai led people to Lizhuang, and sure enough, everyone was hiding here, and they had just approached the gate.
Sou! Sou!
Countless arrows were shot at the courtyard wall.
"Lord be careful!"
Yang Dong leaned sideways in front of Li Huai, waved his sleeves, and knocked down all the arrows in front of him.
"Retreat!"
Li Huai hurriedly ordered and retreated to a safe distance with everyone.
Are these people crazy?
Except for the first few people, the rest of the people committed not capital crimes, at most they were exiled from their homes, as for desperately?
Li Huai asked people to shout and persuade him to surrender, but it didn't play much role, and these people were ready to die and break the net.
Then there is only a strong attack.
However, in this way, I am afraid that many people will die, and this is already in time for a small-scale battle.
Li Huai sent people to transfer Li Xin and three hundred retinue volunteers to completely surround Lizhuang.
"Listen, the people inside, this is your last chance, King Liang said, as long as you lay down your arms and surrender, I can give you preferential treatment."
"Stop making senseless resistance, think about your family, think about your children, lay down your arms and surrender."
"Is it worth it for you to give your life to the so-called Lord, but your Lord has given up on you?"
ββ¦β¦β
Brush! Brush!
They were responded to by a rain of arrows.
"Ge Laozi!"
ζζηζ°ηζεΊζ©ι©¬εοΌεΎεδΈζ₯οΌβε ¨εε¬δ»€οΌη»ζβ¦β¦β
He wasn't done yet.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
There were several booms not far to the northwest, followed by a few clouds of smoke in the area.
Whizzing flew over them.
Rumble!
A few red solid bullets smashed into the front yard of Lizhuang, and screams came from inside.
"Who's firing the cannon!"
Li Xin looked at the place where the cannon was fired in surprise, where they had passed several times, it was a residential area, and there was no sense of anything wrong at that time.
Now there is no roof, and there are several stone and brick forts!
This was laid out in advance.
All the batteries were facing at an angle, attacking the defense of the village directly from the side.
If the people inside were still lined up to resist Li Huai outside, then they would be lining up to meet the cannons.
"Huang Minghui!" Li Huai's eyes narrowed, it could only be him, he had expected that the enemy would not be restrained.
But how did he build a good battery right under the nose of the enemy?
Rumble! Rumble!
Call!
Another volley of cannons, still using solid bullets.
One of the shells hit the gatehouse of the gatehouse, like a stone smashed into a pile of building blocks, and was shattered in an instant.
Now, Li Huai can only look at it with a blank eye.
Huang Minghui didn't stop firing the cannon, or didn't turn the muzzle, and he couldn't lead people to rush inside.
Rumble! Rumble!
The artillery fire continued, and the direction changed slightly, and Huang Minghui's position was high.
He could see the situation inside the pear village and know where the people were piled up.
The artillery fire began to extend inward, and after basically covering the front yard of Lizhuang, the muzzle of the cannon was turned back and bombarded the gate and courtyard wall of Lizhuang.
Soon.
In front of Li Huai, there was a ruin, and you could see the corpses lined up inside, some of them struggling in pain.
Others have become ...... Fragments!
The artillery fire finally stopped.
"Rush!"
Li Huai pointed at the long knife, Li Xin couldn't wait, and rushed to the front with three hundred followers.
Whoever does not lay down his arms, do not talk any nonsense, kill first and then speak.
Whoosh.
Li Huai found that the horse chopping knife in her hand was missing, Yang Dong didn't know when she snatched it, she didn't rush inside, and was always vigilant by Li Huai's side.
She hunched over like a hungry wolf ready to catch food, turning her head to the left and then to the right.
But she didn't look indiscriminately, as if she could see things that others couldn't.
Li Huai thought that she was overly nervous, but she didn't think about how the military attache beside Yang Lingyun, the soldiers who often fought with the Northern Wilderness, could be overly nervous.
Just as Li Huai went to get the dragon tooth bow on horseback.
Moment!
There was a flash of cold light in front of him.
A figure suddenly appeared on the side, and a sword stabbed him directly in the throat, and the assassin did not know when he was hiding nearby, and no one noticed.
Except for Yang Dong!
Boom!
There was a crunch.
Yang Dong had already locked his breath, and the moment the assassin appeared, she swung her saber and swept it, splitting the sword and deviating from where it should have been stabbed.
Anger and unwillingness flashed in the assassin's eyes, as if he was complaining that Yang Dong was meddling, and his target was still Li Huai.
Yang Dong didn't give him this opportunity, and drew a circle with a long knife, which looked ordinary, but when she swung this knife out.
The air around them rippled.
Li Huai looked very familiar, wasn't this the knife technique that Wang Chunyang taught him when he crossed the Yellow River at that time?
How can Yang Dong learn better than him!
The assassin's second blow not only did not stab Li Huai, but was hit by Yang Dong more than ten meters away.
Rumble!
Yang Dong burst out of the strength of the Hinayana realm, and chased after it like a flying bird, and it was a knife head-on.
Forced the assassin back a few dozen meters away.
Far away from Li Huai's range, although the assassin fell into the disadvantage, it was also a Hinayana realm.
The battle between them is not expected to end in a short time.
Li Huai couldn't help, so he raised the dragon's tooth bow, mounted the Xuantie arrow, and shot those who were still resisting.
Li Xin rushed forward steadily, and the whole team formed a triangular formation, cleaning up the remnants like a broom.
The government service brigade was full of enthusiasm, but as a result, it basically didn't get any heads, and there was still a bit of a gap between the government and the army.
What's more, this retinue of volunteer horsemen, or Li Huai brought it out from Luoyang, are all elites in the army.
The battlefield is constantly advancing inward.
The pear blossoms in Zhuangzi were also innocently destroyed, the snow-white pear blossoms, splashed with bright red blood, the original pure brilliance was not there, and it looked extraordinarily charming.
Halfway through the battle.
Some of the enemies finally began to feel fear, and they discovered that there was nothing more precious than life.
Some people surrender because they are afraid of death, and some people are even crazier because they are afraid of death.
The battlefield continues to advance.
Most of the village has been cleaned up, and they have surrounded the last piece of land, the backyard of the village.
The backyard is very small, just an ordinary courtyard house, there is not a single pear tree planted here, everything looks ordinary.
Ding Mei lives here and gives birth here, and she and her newborn child should still be inside.
"Stop firing the arrows!"
Li Huai ordered, and didn't say anything else, he was afraid that the enemy would use the child as a hostage after knowing his weakness.
"You, you, and a few of you, follow me...... We...... This way...... Over there......"
Li Xin selected a strong and powerful one, formed a team, and after a simple arrangement, planned to make a surprise attack.
Rumble!
Li Xin took the lead, and the people behind immediately followed, brushing a few knives and just hacking a few people to death.
"Stop!"
"We surrender!"
The door of the house in the middle opened, and the people inside came out and threw their weapons in the courtyard.
The rest of the people also threw their weapons.
Li Xin was disappointed for a while, and there was a feeling of punching the cotton, but this was a better result.
"King Liang, Mrs. Ding wants to talk to you."
Someone among them said.
They have all fought to this point, they have long been mentally prepared to die, and it was Ding Mei who made them surrender.
I don't know why they listened to her so much.
"If she wants to talk to my lord, let her come out by herself." Li Xin was afraid that there was fraud in it, so he flatly refused.
Li Huai didn't dare to joke with his own life, although he was particularly curious about what Ding Mei wanted to say.
"Wait a minute."
Several of them turned and went in.
Not long after.
They came out again, carrying a couch on which Ding Mei lay on, covered with a fur blanket and as white as paper.
"You're all ...... Step aside. Ding Mei said very weakly, as if she hadn't finished a sentence, and she might lose her breath at any time.
When the people of Lizhuang heard this, they went back to both sides and were immediately taken down.
Li Xin arranged for someone to surround Ding Mei to form a small ring, leaving a lot of space in the middle.
Then, Li Huaicai walked over.
"If you want to sell me badly, say how hard you are, don't have to, I want to make a deal with you."
Li Huai said indifferently, with a little hesitation between his eyebrows, using the child as a bargaining chip, is this what people do?
But he wanted to know.
There is no danger to the child anyway.
It should be fine.
"I can have people raise your children, you just need to tell more about what you know."
When Li Huai said this, he felt very uncomfortable, and even regretted and blamed himself, and added a meaningless sentence.
"Even if you don't say it, I won't hurt her."
"Thank you!"
Ding Mei said sincerely, with a loving smile on her pale face.
