These people brought by Jiang Yue were good at bullying the people in the past. But in front of the Shanziying elite who were well-trained and had fought bloody battles with the Mongolian people, they were like chickens waiting to be slaughtered.
In the panic of these people, even if the knife in their hands was cut on the soldier, it only hit the steel armor, leaving not even a small mark.
However, the soldiers of Shanziying fully demonstrated their speed, accuracy and ruthlessness on the battlefield. Each sword was directed towards the fastest, simplest and most fatal place, killing with one sword.
It was just a contact battle. No one on the soldiers' side was injured, but more than a dozen people on Jiang Yue's side fell instantly. Even Jiang Yue himself had his throat cut open by an extremely fast sword light and fell to the ground, looking like he would not survive.
"Run~" Seeing Jiang Yue's death, someone who was extremely depressed burst out a loud roar, which instantly shattered these people's thoughts of getting rich.
In front of me are those useless government officials from the past, and they are like gods of murder one by one. What else do they want to do if they don't run away? Do they really want to lose their lives here?
They just want to take advantage of the local gangsters, and maybe they dare to take a chance on it. If they really encounter a tough situation, they will run away faster than anyone else.
Seeing these people trying to escape, Li Jizu didn't want to just let them go. He rushed forward and killed him for a while until he chased him out of the Yamen.
Seeing that Li Jizu wanted to continue chasing, Han Du immediately shouted: "That's enough."
Although Li Jizu was puzzled, he still stopped, turned around and shouted, "Master Marquis, why do you want to let them go?"
"These are just scabies. Don't forget who our real opponent is." Han Du walked over step by step and said in a deep voice.
Li Jizu reacted immediately, nodded and said, "Yes, I will obey the Marquis's instructions."
"Ahhhh~"
A burst of noisy sounds came, and Han Du looked around and immediately saw people running towards this side.
Li Jizu immediately stepped forward, reached out to grab a fleeing commoner, and asked sternly: "What are you running for?"
The people saw that the long knife in Li Jizu's hand was stained with blood, and the strong smell of blood made him gag. If he hadn't seen Li Jizu in official uniform, he would have fainted from fright.
Holding back the discomfort, he tried his best to say: "My lord, go and help me quickly. There are robbers ahead and are about to attack the city. My lord, please save my little one."
Robbers attacking the city?
Hearing this, Li Jizu let go of the people's arms, turned around and looked at each other with Han Du. Both of them knew that the real master to deal with was coming.
"Let's go!" Han Du immediately waved to Li Jizu and led the soldiers towards the city gate.
Han Du and his party pushed through the crowd of people and came to the city gate. At a glance, they saw a dense crowd outside the city gate, all holding swords, guns, and even bows and arrows.
But what surprised Han Du was that these people did not rush up to snatch the city at the first time, but slowly pressed forward.
It was difficult for Li Jizu to understand the move. This was obviously an attack on the city, but why didn't he seize the city gate immediately instead of slowly pressing up?
"Master Marquis, what do they want to do?"
Han Du glanced at Li Jizu, shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe the other party thinks they have the advantage and have already won, so they don't need to rush in immediately."
"Arrogant!" Li Jizu smiled evilly.
Han Du did not chatter with Li Jizu, but directly raised his head to the city gate tower and shouted loudly: "I am an imperial envoy, and now I order you to close the city gate immediately."
But after Han Du's voice disappeared, there was still no movement at all above the city gate building, as if there was no one at all.
But how could there be no one guarding the city gate?
Han Du shouted again, but the result was still the same.
At this time, Han Du laughed softly and said to Li Jizu, who looked puzzled: "I think I know why those people are not in a hurry to capture the city gate. They are waiting for us to go out on our own."
Li Jizu reacted immediately, became furious, and was about to rush to the city gate tower.
Han Du grabbed him and said, "There's no need to go."
There was something Han Du didn't say, even if Li Jizu went, there would be no good changes. Maybe, they will directly force the county guard to Pan Fu's side.
Since the guard did not go directly to Pan Fu's side, he remained neutral. That meant that although he had benefited from Pan Fu in the past, he didn't want to get involved in this matter now.
Since this is the case, Han Du can only stabilize it first. As for the difficulties ahead, you can only solve them by yourself.
After glancing at Li Jizu, Han Du said with a smile: "Let's go, they have already set up a battle array for us, we can't do it if we don't go."
With that said, Han Du was about to walk out of the city.
Li Jizu suddenly reached out and grabbed Han Du.
Han Du looked sideways at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Jizu said in a deep voice: "Just leave the charge to the general to the general. The Marquis should wait for good news from the general in the city."
Han Du did not reach out to pull Li Jizu's hand away. Instead, he smiled and glanced towards the city. He turned back to Li Jizu and said, "Do you really think it would be better for me to stay in the city than to follow you?"
Li Jizu suddenly remembered that there were landlords and gentry in the city, and there were also many people who had escaped just now. If the Marquis is left alone in the city, there is a high chance that he will be attacked by those people. It is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands, which would put Han Du in danger.
Thinking of this, Li Jizu couldn't help but loosen his hands.
Han Du looked away from his hand, raised his head and looked directly outside the city gate, and said calmly: "We have no choice, let's go!"
After hearing this, Li Jizu nodded heavily. Indeed, he and others were now trapped in an ambush from all sides, with no second way to go.
Han Du and Li Jizu led all the soldiers outside the city gate. As soon as they walked across the moat, they heard a crunching sound behind them.
Han Du looked back and found that the city bridge was being pulled up bit by bit, and the city gate was gradually closing.
Finally, two loud bangs were heard, and the moat bridge and the city gate were closed at the same time.
Han Du glanced at the dense crowd in front of him. There were only two thousand people here. As far as he could see, Han Du could see no fewer than five thousand people. No wonder Pan Fu dared not rush to attack the city. These people must be his confidence.
He turned his head and smiled at Li Jizu: "It seems that we have to imitate the Overlord of Western Chu and fight against the odds."
Li Jizu looked solemn and leaned into Han Du's ear and said: "Master Hou, after a while the general will lead the charge, and the master will follow the crowd. Once the general cuts through the enemy, the master will quickly return to the capital to break up the rear."
Han Du glanced at the other side and had an idea in his mind. If these people fight alone, they are no match for the soldiers under their command. But unfortunately, there are too many of them. There are so many people, let alone fighting with each other. Even if the other side is standing one by one and being chopped down by the soldiers, it will still be tiring for our side.
However, although the number of people on his side is small, they are like sharp steel knives. Although the people on the opposite side had an absolute advantage, they were like a piece of tofu.
It may not be easy to chop a piece of tofu into dregs with a steel knife. But if you just cut through this piece of tofu, it would be a piece of cake.
So, he took two steps forward, stood out, and shouted loudly: "Which one is Pan Fu?"
When the shouting was heard on the other side, there was a surge of people in the middle, and a passage opened.
A fair, slightly fat man came out with some people wearing silk and satin. He laughed and said, "Guan Gu, I asked you to take Li Ang back to do business. You will be promoted, I will make a fortune, and everyone will benefit. How great? But you insist on being at odds with me. Do you regret it now? It's too late!"
It is indeed too late!
Han Du nodded, too lazy to talk nonsense with Pan Fu. He turned to Li Jizu and said: "Capture the thief first, capture the king first!"
Li Jizu immediately understood and immediately made several gestures towards the soldiers.
Pan Fu hadn't come to his senses yet. He saw that Han Du didn't speak to him and thought that Han Du didn't hear what he said clearly.
Speaking of a government official like Pan Fu, what he was most proud of was to play with officials who were higher than him. At the beginning, he knew that the woman was Li Ang's lover, but he still used her for his own purposes. It was also because of this mentality.
And since the imperial envoy was of a better rank, he was naturally more eager to play with the imperial envoy. That would give him great satisfaction.
Pan Fu was about to repeat what he said, but suddenly saw that the other party came to kill him without saying a word. His face turned red with anger, and his angry eyes seemed to burst into flames.
"Kill, kill these dog officers!" This dog officer is really treacherous enough. He even carried out a sneak attack. It's really unaffordable!
In a hurry, the gangsters brought by Pan Fu surrounded them from both sides, trying to block the charge of Han Du and others.
These ruffians simply will not face off against the two armies like now, or they have no experience in frontal combat at all. They simply don't know the role of synergy, and they still fight independently like they did in the street fights before.
Before Han Du and others rushed up, some of them started to draw their bows and shoot arrows.
Scattered arrows flew in the air and fell down quickly. They could not even touch the fur of Han Du and others.
Han Du and others hadn't even rushed into the shooting range, and they started shooting arrows in a panic. It would be damned if they could hit the target.
On Li Jizu's side, these people are worthy of being the elite of Shanziying. Just work together and charge forward without caring about anything else. Even if arrows hit their steel armor and made a thud, they continued to charge without changing their expressions.
As long as there is no next order from Li Jizu, they will continue to charge.
