"I, Shen Lian, am not a murderous person. Today I only take the heads of my enemies to avenge my elder brother Wei Zhongxian! I have no enmity with you Tianjin Guards. Don't come into this muddy water. Your sword has no eyes. Get out of here!" "
Tianjin Zhangjiagang Terminal.
The guardsmen held blazing torches in their hands, and the fire illuminated the defense line composed of horses and iron caltrops in front of them.
Holding the Huquan sharp blade left behind by the famous anti-Japanese general Yu Dayou, Shen Lian stood resolutely in front of the two armies, roaring angrily at the approaching enemy troops.
Behind him, the thirty-five warriors prepared themselves to face the enemy with no end in sight.
Guard Lin Yu put down his heavy pickaxe, thrust his heavy shield, which was half a man tall, into the ground, picked up a javelin and prepared to throw it at the enemy group.
The servant Wei Zhao and nine of his men gathered around the giant to embolden him.
This was the first time they had seen such a big scene. Although Wei Zhao was very good at martial arts, he was not a member of the army. Thousands of soldiers and horses were coming to kill him, and there were Dongchang fans among them. If he said he was not afraid, he would be lying.
Behind them, Pei Dahu led twelve people to form a typical Qi family army mandarin duck phalanx. Everyone is covered in armor, holding long spears and palladium, and they are also equipped with short muskets and stone mines. They are the core of this defensive force.
Behind the Yuanyang Formation, the torches could no longer illuminate clearly, but there was still a defensive force hidden in the dark night.
Wu Xiao took out a triple barbed iron-bone wolf tooth arrow from the arrow holder, put it on the string, gently hooked the arrow feather with his thumb finger, and pointed at Tian Ergeng, who was under the banner of Dongjishi Factory fifty steps away, and slowly Slowly opened the big bow.
Behind this Chinese guard who was skilled in bow and horse, Shen Lian's younger brother Lu Jianxing was loading ammunition for the squatting tiger cannon, while his best friend Zhao Yuanzhi was nearby, aiming a row of flying crows at the densely packed guard soldiers.
A large fortune ship filled with silver and goods was moored quietly on the shore.
Liu Zhaosun's father-in-law and several female relatives of Shen Lian were lying on the side of the ship, looking worriedly at the people on the shore.
Everyone was waiting for Pei Dahu to issue the order to attack.
At this time, Tian Ergeng's voice sounded from the opposite side:
"Shen Lian! You are a thief. You killed the former factory boss Wei Eunuch, the new factory boss's nephew, and more than a dozen people from the Zhenfu Division! Today you set fire to the Tianjin Arsenal, and you dared to kidnap Mr. Xu and Jinni. Pavilion, rob Lu Tongzhi's goods. It is a heinous crime to deceive the emperor and treason! It is really unfortunate for the East Factory to have a scum like you! You thief still dare to talk so shamelessly! Our family has sent a fast horse back to Beijing overnight. Tomorrow, everyone in the world will know You have committed heinous crimes and are traitors who have killed thousands of people! You rebelled and killed people! This heinous crime is unforgivable! You and your comrades will all be punished by the Nine Clans!"
Under the banner of Dongjishi Factory, which was more than ten feet high, Tian Ergen rode out, roaring at the top of his lungs.
Two fans protected him, holding up their shields and looking around cautiously.
In Zhangjiagang in the early morning, the wind was bone-chilling, and the sky and the earth were empty.
The arsenal was still burning, and someone was faintly crying in the firelight.
On this killing night, the boundaries between good and evil become no longer clear.
"Tian Ergeng, don't slander anyone! The factory boss was killed by you and Xu Xianchun. If you have the guts, come out and die. Don't hurt innocent people anymore!"
Shen Lian unsheathed his sword, and the cold light of Huquan's sword shone brightly in all directions.
"Shen, say it again, what happened today has nothing to do with you. I will only kill Xu Xianchun and Tian Ergeng, and everyone else will get out of the way!"
"Hahaha! Shen Lian, how many innocent people have you implicated? In the past two years, you have killed so many people in the capital. You are such a thief. How come you are such a scum in Dongchang!"
A boss appeared beside Tian Ergen and said in a deep voice:
"Tian Qianhu, don't talk nonsense with them. The Kaiyuan thieves who killed thousands of people colluded with Yang Hao and burned down the arsenal. Now there is chaos in Tianjin city. I don't know how many people will die. If we don't kill this traitor, we will all be punished with death. I will lead the water Camp the troops and cut the Kaiyuan thief into pieces!"
Tian Ergen nodded, and just as he was about to wave for General Fan to lead his troops forward, Lu Tongzhi came up on his horse. He was so fat that the horse under his crotch was panting.
"Tian Qianhu, how can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? There is no need to let the soldiers of the water camp come in. The Jinyi Guards and the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division are also resting first. The soldiers of the Tianjin Guards are all here. Sir, please see, there are more than a thousand people. Together with my servants and the volunteers who have come to help, we will definitely be able to catch these rebellious people, vent their anger on the factory owner, and avenge me."
Tian Ergen and Lu Tongzhi were old friends. He turned back and glanced at the ragged guardsmen. There were many crooked melons and cracked dates mixed in the crowd.
Tian Ergeng was an old man in the martial arts world, and he could tell at a glance that those people were the so-called righteous people, and they were all green-skinned scoundrels.
Fatty Lu's servants all have evil looks and murderous looks. They should be from local Tianjin thugs.
"Okay, it stands to reason that this matter is a domestic matter in Dongchang. Shen Lian is a thief in the Zhenfusi family, so just let the Jin Yiwei take the people directly. But since Lu Tongzhi is so concerned about it, once he is not rebellious, our family will defend you in front of the factory boss. Please take credit.”
"Then let Lu Tongzhi go up first!"
Lu Demin waved to the head servant.
Tong Laosan called his men and drove the guardsmen to rush towards the opposite side.
"Rush over, there are only a dozen of them, kill these rebels, I will reward you heavily!"
Tong Laosan shouted, swung his scabbard, and struck the surrounding guard soldiers who were still in a daze.
The dark crowd began to rush toward the horse guard.
These guardsmen were actually local farmers, and some of them were old men with gray beards. They were similar to other guards in the Ming Dynasty. Basically all the young men of the Tianjin Guards had fled.
Thanks to the genius system designed by Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestors of military households could only farm in one place. Counting from the early Ming Dynasty, an ordinary military family, lacking training and material foundation, often took only three generations to go from a veteran soldier to a farmer.
In the late Ming Dynasty, farmers needed to have super vitality to cope with various crises and live like Xiaoqiang.
For these military households, fleeing is also an option.
As a result, refugees were born.
An hour ago, these guardsmen were woken up from their sleep by Mr. Lu's servants and rushed to Zhangjiagang Pier in a mess. Many of them still haven't figured out what they were here to do.
"Fire the arrow!"
Mr. Fan Ba yelled at the archers to shoot arrows in the opposite direction.
Compared with these ragged guards soldiers, the water camp soldiers are recruited soldiers, with stronger combat effectiveness and better equipment.
Dozens of archers immediately raised their bows and aimed at the dark night sky.
A sparse arrow rain floated in the dark night, falling on the armor on the opposite side, making a few tinkling sounds.
These water camp archers have little training on weekdays, and the light arrows they throw have basically no lethality.
Under the banner, Tian Ergeng looked at the scene in front of him, shook his head helplessly, and looked back at the group of Dongchang fans behind him who were eager to try.
"Let the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division go up first later!"
Shen Lian raised his iron-armed hand above his head and covered his eyes. Unexpectedly, not a single arrow hit him.
Several waves of arrows did not cause any damage, but they made the water camp soldiers' tired arms sore.
Fortunately, the guardsmen were already approaching the garrison.
Thousands of people flocked to the front of the horse like a tide. Under the pressure of the servants, they began to tear down these obstacles blocking the road.
"Rush over and kill them all!"
Lu Tongzhi's servants were still behind, forcing the guards to come forward.
Shen Lian leaned over and pulled up the hemp rope buried in the soil, closed his eyes, and pulled hard.
There was an explosion all around the horse, and the mine cannons that had been laid in advance were detonated. The power of these mine cannons that had just been taken out of the arsenal was amazing, and they were comparable to the original stone mines.
The rabble immediately went into meltdown.
Shen Lian shouted and led the crowd to rush forward, slashing and killing in the crowd.
"The last kill."
~~~~~
In blood and fire.
The young man lay beside the dead old man and cried loudly.
"Dad! Dad!"
Shen Lian wiped the blood on the blade with a nail leaf and looked at the young man.
"Let's go. I won't kill you. I will kill your father today. If you have the ability, come to me later and avenge your father. My name is Shen Lian!"
