Hearing the woman's screams, several farmers in the yard were in a bit of a commotion. But they were immediately pressed firmly to the ground. But the thing they imagined that their daughters were molested did not appear!

With the scream, a young daughter-in-law rushed out of the door, and just wanted to shout but saw the situation in the yard, and sat on the ground in fright! The two soldiers then walked briskly out of the room and shook their heads at the officer. The officer scolded in a low voice very dissatisfied, probably because he felt that he was unlucky not to block the salt owl.

However, he did his duty strictly, and he exclaimed, "Get the people back into the room, and we'll run to the next house!"

As soon as the soldiers let go of their hands, the young man, who had been pressed to the ground, jumped up and rushed to the door to help his daughter-in-law up. He said angrily, "Daughter-in-law, did they move you?"

The daughter-in-law shook her head in shock and said, "They didn't move me, they just ran around the house, it's too scary!"

Hearing this, several farmers breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts! At this time, the faces of the soldiers who left the courtyard looked much better! The old man who was questioned muttered something, but no one heard him.

In fact, there are not many salt lords and swordsmen living in the entire Zhuangzi, and the total number of people is less than 100. According to their combat effectiveness, this number is enough for officers and soldiers to fight head-on, and it is naturally easy to deal with those peasant households!

But no matter how powerful they are, they are no match for a well-trained regular army! Especially at this time, it was time for dinner, and they were all scattered in various peasant households to eat, which basically gave the Wu'an army a chance to break through!

And most importantly, among these people, the swordsman is particularly easy to deal with! Because the swordsman is a half-black and half-white profession, he makes money by escorting goods to bodyguards on weekdays, and occasionally makes cameos as robbers behind his back, but in general, they still dare to show their faces in front of the official army.

But on the other hand, they have a lot of scruples when they face the champions. After all, after killing officials and rebelling, they can only fall into the grass! So when this part of the swordsmen saw that it was the officers and soldiers who rushed in, most of them surrendered directly.

But the swordsmen are a minority in this group after all, and most of them are salt lords! These people are extremely murderous, brutal, and have a blood feud with the officials and soldiers, so they will never lay down their arms and surrender! And the main combat opponents of the Wu'an army are these people!

At the beginning of the battle, Liu Haojia was still afraid that these salt lords would take the people hostage, so it would be very troublesome to deal with it! But as the war reports kept coming, he finally came back to his senses and knew why the salt lord didn't hijack the people!

Because in the mind of the salt owl, no matter which way the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers are not a good thing! It's not good to fight, the equipment is sparse,......! But they all have one thing in common, that is, they kill good and take credit! The difference between Hu Ao's official army and the bad official army is that the bad official army directly kills the people and cuts off their heads to repay their merits! A good officer and army cut off the heads of those who have died to repay their merits!

So no matter what you say, it's true! Therefore, the salt lords all felt that if they took the people as hostages, maybe these officers and soldiers would be happy to see them! They must have killed the hostages together, so that there would be a head to repay the merit! That's why there was no situation that gave Liu Haojia the most headache!

This Zhuangzi itself is under the name of Qian Shounian, and the Zhuangzi itself is not big, with only more than 100 households. That's why Qian Shounian placed the salt lords here. What these salt lords eat can be taken directly in the Zhuangzi. But now this has become a shortcoming, Zhuangzi is surrounded on all sides, and he can't escape!

Moreover, these salt lords have been dealing with officers and soldiers for a long time, and they regard the Wu'an Army as an ordinary Ming official army! The reason lies in the muskets that the soldiers are handing. Because only the officers and soldiers will have a large number of firearms.

The guns used by the Ming officers and soldiers are quite well-designed, but they are not properly maintained, the gunpowder configuration is not good, and the lack of training makes the soldiers choose to shoot with poor chances and accuracy! So the salt barons are not afraid of firearms at all!

Today, however, they were faced with a new type of firebolt, which would shoot a lead projectile at the pull of the trigger, instead of relying on the fire rope as before, wasting time to give them a chance to fight back or dodge. Therefore, the first to rush out and fight back when they heard the sound were killed and wounded

Heavy!

These people were basically shot down by the fire in the face, and even if they were not shot, they rushed over and only fell into the bayonet bushes of the soldiers! If you dodge the lead shot, more than a dozen bayonets will immediately fly up and down, and you can't dodge it even if you have great ability, so you can only hide your hatred for it!

Seeing that the companions in front were either beaten into a sieve or poked into a sieve with bayonets, the salt lords in the back were smart and shrank in the room to resist stubbornly, which left a great difficulty for the soldiers to clear up! In particular, five of the archers were killed or wounded!

They were alarmed and did not rush out of the room, but instead set up an ambush at the door and window, which had something to do with their profession. After all, bows and arrows are long-range weapons, and they can only be lethal if they are at a distance! And the shooting of a bow and arrow at close range is a little less powerful than a firebolt, but not much worse! So the three soldiers who were the first to attack the courtyard where the archers were were shot directly to the ground by the feather arrows!

At this time, we can see the benefits of Liu Haojia's adjustment of the army! Seeing that his companion was shot to the ground, the sword and shield soldiers quickly rushed into the courtyard, first used their shields to protect the wounded and themselves, and the people behind directly dragged the wounded out.

Then, the sword and shield soldier held the shield to protect his body, and approached the room first. The archers in the room kept shooting arrows, but they were all blocked by their shields! When the sword and shield soldiers approached, they rushed forward quickly, and directly pressed their shields against the window, which was considered to be a complete elimination of the archers!

Then the firecrackers rushed into the courtyard and put the firearms through the edge of the shield and fired them indiscriminately, killing the archers in the room! And just like that, the only group of people who caused the casualties of the soldiers was dealt with!

These salt lords are close to 100 people, which is already a big force! If they are against 500 strong people and archers, they can fight until the opponent is defeated and lost, and they will be able to catch their chickens and dogs! If they can be sure that they will win the battle against the guards of 500 men!

If you are against 500 officers and soldiers, although you will definitely lose, you will definitely kill in the early stage, and if you are not careful, you may be able to make them turn the tables! But it's different for the five hundred Wu'an Army, it's completely crushed!
