Chapter 34: Bravery

The heavy gate was slowly opened from the inside, making a creaking and squeaking sound, and there was a golden fire inside, and there were eight Lujia Zhai villagers on both sides on duty, two of whom were wearing armor.

The carriage also started immediately, Wu Linzheng sat inside, not the slightest nervousness, twenty "family members" at the request of the small leader of Lujiazhai on duty, had already turned over and dismounted, at this time ten people in front and behind, leading the horse to the village.

While these "family members" walked inside, they carefully observed with their peripheral vision, locked the location of the fifteen people inside and outside the walled gate, and were ready to launch a sneak attack at any time.

Unaware of the impending danger, the little leader licked his chapped lips, his mind still thinking about the gold and silver on Wu Lin's car, and a greedy smile appeared on his face.

After all, as long as the twenty families entered the Lujia Village, it would be impossible for them to escape again, and with the gold and silver on the carriage and twenty-one good horses, he would definitely be able to share a lot of benefits after he succeeded, and his status in the village would inevitably improve.

As soon as the carriage entered the door hole of the walled gate, there was a sudden "bang" sound from the inside of the walled gate, and the fifteen strong men of Lujiazhai who were on duty couldn't help but be startled, and almost instinctively looked in the direction of the class where the sound came.

At the same time, the twenty "family soldiers" in front and behind the carriage heard the signal, turned around at the same time, and pulled out the Qi knives at their waists with a "whoosh", slashing at the enemies on both sides.

The two armor-clad Zhaiding in the door of the Zhaimen were attacked by two "family dings", although they had armor on their bodies, but they were defenseless above the neck, and they were quickly killed.

And the little boss who was still dreaming just now, was besieged by three "family members" at the same time, he barely blocked the first two attacks, but was quickly kicked down by a kick from the side, and then hacked to death by the three of them.

"Ahh

A series of screams rang out one after another, and the armor soldiers under Wu Xingye's command attacked the watchtower, the arrow tower, and the guards on the gate of the fortress at the same time.

He had already led the other twenty people to dive down from the city ladder and came to the door of the class room that showed bright light, and after sending five people to the gate of the village to answer, the remaining fifteen people were all armed with knives and stood on both sides of the door of the class room.

After hearing the frictional sound made when the gate of the village was opened, Wu Xingye calculated the speed of the two groups of "family ding" in front and back, and they all needed a suitable position to attack.

Then, it was a tall armor soldier under his command who slammed open the door of the class room directly with a "bang", and the Lujiazhai guard inside was caught off guard, and a person who was facing the door didn't even have time to turn around, and was stabbed in the back by the first armored soldier who rushed in, and the severe pain made him look hideous, and his mouth let out a tragic wail.

The tall armored soldier who was as tall as a bear did not have the slightest softness, and his right hand holding the knife slammed into the body of the Zhaiding with a sharp force, and the knife directly pierced the body of the Zhaiding, and the tip of the knife came out of the abdomen, and blood splashed out along the blade.

Soldier A quickly rushed forward, pushing the villager to hit the others, directly dividing the dozen or so Lu family Zhaiding in the squad into two parts, and a few others were knocked to the ground by him.

These villagers hadn't reacted at all, but Wu Xingye had already rushed in with the armored soldiers under his command, and before they could use their weapons, they had basically killed all of them.

Of course, it was not that they were not agile, and the Zhai Ding who hid behind others avoided the initial impact, but the thin weapons in their hands did not work at all in the face of the Ming army wearing two layers of armor.

The tall armored soldier who rushed in first, like a bear, was stabbed twice in the back after kicking away the villager he had killed, but he had two layers of chain mail on his body, and a layer of cotton armor on the innermost, and the weapons in the hands of these villagers could not break it at all.

Even, the inferior saber in the hands of the Zhai Ding could not be compared with the Qi knife equipped by the Ming army under Zhou Shixian, and the tactical action of the horizontal knife block in a panic was certainly correct, but the problem was that the inferior saber in his hand was directly cut off.

Don't think that there is no weapon generation difference in the era of cold weapons, the materials used between knives and guns are different, the process is different, the quality of weapons is also very different, and the natural results on the battlefield are completely different.

And these are the reasons why Zhou Shixian doesn't take these villagers in his eyes, but if he meets the Shun army, he doesn't dare to underestimate it so much.

The class room has been taken by Wu Xingye almost in the blink of an eye, and the watchtower, arrow tower, and the Zhaiding on the gate of the village have all been killed, but there is still inevitably a disturbance in the middle, and the entire Lujiazhai is alarmed.

But at this time, there were already more than 70 Ming soldiers guarding the gate of the wall, and there were 20 horses.

At the same time, the other three sides of the walled wall have also been controlled by Weng Dajie's troops, and dozens of villagers who are on duty have been killed by the soldiers under Weng Dajie's command, and almost all the commanding heights of Lujiazhai have been taken by the Ming army.

Outside the gate, there was soon a dense sound of footsteps, and the clatter of horses' hooves on the ground sounded from far and near in the darkness.

"The cavalry rushed in first to explore the way, and when they encountered those who stood in the way, they were killed. The others followed Lao Tzu to kill him, and the time came to repay the grace of God, and those who dared to retreat from the battle were killed. Wu Xingye said, turned his head to look at Wu Linzheng who got out of the carriage, and said:

"Lord Wu, time is pressing, you are here to pick up the horses, and the last general will lead the brothers to kill them first."

Wu Linzheng is also a person who has led the troops and guarded the city, and immediately clasped his fists and said: "General Wu, rest assured, there is no problem in handing it over to the old man here." ”

Although most of the people in Lujiazhai were woken up by exclamations, they didn't figure out what was going on at all, most of them were still in a state of confusion, and Zhou Shixian had already led the soldiers and horses to control the entire village.

However, because of the successful capture of the Zhaimen, the progress behind was too smooth, the Ming army did not start a killing spree, Zhou Shixian was not the kind of person who killed indiscriminately, in addition to the dozens of Zhaiding on duty, there were more than 30 people who resisted along the way, and the others were just concentrated in the open space in the Zhai.

But Zhou Shixian doesn't kill indiscriminately, it doesn't mean that he is a compassionate and kind person, and he naturally doesn't fall behind what should be robbed. The boats, grain and grass, as well as the gold, silver, armor and gunpowder in the stockade were all collected by his subordinate Zhu Maozhen.

Since it was just spring, and most of the boats in Lujiazhai were still on the edge of the wharf in the village, Zhou Shixian won more than 180 large and small ships, and the transportation of troops and grain was satisfied.

And Lujiazhai is worthy of being the largest village in Qingxian County, and it is also worthy of the wealth accumulated for many years, Zhu Maozhen found nearly 10,000 stone of grain from the village, as well as 110,000 taels of silver and silver.

Not only that, but there were more than fifty pieces of armor in the village, as well as a lot of gunpowder, and although the quality of these armaments was quite average, it was better than nothing.

Of course, now these seizures have become the best proof that Lujiazhai is "in the enemy camp, and his heart is clear".

How can the matter of the horse be said to be a robbery? This is obviously the loyalty of the owner of Lujiazhai and the dedication of Zhu Maozhen.
