The morale of the officers and soldiers was very unstable.
If they have money to support them, they can unleash unlimited potential, even defeating the Khitans and Northern Han people. However, they are quick to fall out. As soon as their wages are not paid, they dare to take action on the coach, and they are even capable of defecting in the face of battle.
Today's homeland defense war naturally costs nothing. Those who win purely protect their capital, and those who lose don't get even a cent. They fight this war based on their responsibility for their families.
Explosives destroy the human spirit regardless of you or me!
With one shot, Linzhang Gate was reduced to ashes. Dead people and mutilated bodies were everywhere. Everyone's voices were filled with buzzing sounds. They did not expect that these pirates had such powerful weapons, which directly destroyed everyone's lives. will!
Even Guo Can and Yang Lin were dumbfounded. They knew that this kind of gunpowder was very similar to fireworks, but they didn't know that it could be so powerful when used in war. It would not be too much to crack mountains and crack rocks!
The soldiers they brought had no fighting spirit!
The gap in this ancient city has finally been opened!
The pirates went crazy and rushed into the city while the officers and soldiers had no fighting spirit!
This ancient land full of humanities and religions, commerce and secularity is wailing at this moment, fires are rising into the sky, pirates are killing people on sight, and the residents can only take up arms to fight in order to defend their homes, but they are not fully armed. The pirate rival!
The pirates rushed into the city and rushed to other city gates, preparing to let all the pirates into the city. The fire in the city made Murong Chao extremely excited, which proved that they had succeeded in the first step!
As long as Weiyuan Tower is captured again, there will be no one in the city to command, and these defenders will become a piece of scattered sand. If we capture a few more city gates and close the doors, we will become a small world!
He had long ago calculated that the reinforcements from the imperial court would really come to Quanzhou Mansion for support, at least half a month later. By then, he would have been able to organize troops to fight against them!
Fujian Road has been an indisputable place for military strategists since ancient times. The terrain is as dangerous as the plank roads in central Sichuan.
Not to mention transporting food, even transporting troops in this land is a problem. Moreover, the soldiers on Fujian Road have extremely poor combat effectiveness. They always pretend to be dead when they go to the battlefield, which gives the soldiers a headache!
Facing these weak southern soldiers of the Song Dynasty, Murong Chao smiled. He laughed that his decision was right.
The main force and elites of the Song Dynasty have now withdrawn from the northwest front, and a large number of Western troops have appeared on Jingdong Road.
These soldiers who have been fighting against the party members all year round are still capable of fighting. Even if he has an organized army, he may not be able to easily defeat these people!
So his target was pointed at the south where the Song Dynasty's military was weak, and the south was the economic lifeline of the Song Dynasty. As expected, he set his sights on Quanzhou Prefecture, which is now within easy reach!
Murong Chao added a strong dose of medicine to these pirates: "If we capture Weiyuan Tower today, let everyone relax for another day and let everyone grab money and women!"
Most of these pirates were Han Chinese who had fallen into disgrace. They were wanted by the imperial court in the Song Dynasty. All of them had committed numerous murders and had long been unable to tolerate them. Most of them were Japanese, and they had colluded with Murong Chao. It is clear that he came here for the glory and wealth of the Song Dynasty!
The Japanese did not come with mercy. They only had desire and destruction in their hearts. But they were just looking forward to this moment. Greed and unscrupulousness would undoubtedly appear at this moment!
burn! kill! Rob! Plunder! These beasts are afraid that if they come too late, all the good things will be snatched away!
As soon as the soldiers guarding the city saw the fire in the city, they knew that the situation was over. Most of their fighting spirit was also lost, and they no longer had the intention to deal with these pirates! Their combat experience is not even as good as the members of the Chengguan Brigade. The members left at the port by Liang Chuan are still fighting hard. These soldiers guarding the city have given up their fight!
The city gates were lost one after another!
Seeing the feeling that the situation was about to be lost, everyone could not help but feel a sense of sadness in their hearts. Before setting off, everyone was very proud and full of confidence in this battle. They never thought that the opponent would be so cunning, setting up one after another. The trap turned out to be their Lao Lao's idea in the end. The enemy failed to kill him and almost had others take care of it!
The change came suddenly.
Even Yang Lin and Guo Can, who were "ordered" to come, looked at a loss. Not to mention the number of enemies, and sharp weapons like gunpowder, how could they still have a chance to make a comeback when their military morale was completely lost?
Linzhang Gate is close to West Street. The city is not peaceful at this time. Many people with short knives and sharp blades rushed out of the streets and alleys!
When the leader saw Liang Chuan, he shouted: "Liang Chuan and we used to have enmity, but now Qingyuan is in danger. I hope you and I can put aside our prejudices and resist these foreign invaders together!"
Liang Chuan took a closer look and saw that this was Tang Jie who was wearing the same pants as Wen Boyan back then!
This guy is a gangster!
Moreover, Qingyuantang, which was run by his father, was cleaned up by himself from Qingyuan, but Tang Jie didn’t know it!
Qingyuantang was also a land tyrant back then. Although the water tyrants on the Qingyuan River were the real bosses, this did not prevent them from dominating the Qingyuan area.
After his father disappeared, Tang Jie did not work hard to get better. Instead, he took to the underworld and raised a banner to form a team in an attempt to create another Qingyuantang.
However, Tang Jie was influenced by Wen Boyan and was not a person like Dong Qingshan who did all kinds of evil things. They collected protection fees, but they really helped people look after their homes and homes to protect them from the gangsters.
It's just that they didn't expect that someone would attack Qingyuan City, which had been peaceful for hundreds of years!
Although they are a gang, they are also from the Song Dynasty. When facing a powerful enemy, they also know who is less important and who is more important.
Although Tang Jie and Liang Chuan didn't deal with each other, it was a long time ago. Now he has put aside his prejudices and is unanimous in speaking out!
Tang Jie didn't bring many people, and most of them were his new younger brothers. There were only two younger brothers than him, and they still had childish looks on their faces. They dared to show their knives when facing cruel pirates!
When the pirates saw that the visitors turned out to be a group of young people, and they were the same as them, without even a piece of armor, they became angry. They licked their lips and wielded their knives to kill these people who blocked their way. past!
Tang Jie took the lead with his sword, and the two groups fought hand to hand.
Courage alone is not enough on the battlefield, not to mention that Tang Jie and the others are not even half as many as the pirates. The pirates killed most of this group of passionate young people as soon as they arrived!
These people sacrificed so tragically! They barely posed a threat to the pirates before disappearing into the chaos. The leader, Tang Jie, was struggling to hold on like a flat leaf in the turbulent current!
How could Qin Jing sit idly by and ignore it!
Although Qingyuantang is no longer here, they also came out of that hall back then. Although Tang Xiangtian was not a good person, Tang Jie was also a man, and he had a close friendship with them. Qin Jing was taciturn but not ruthless. How could you just sit back and watch when Tang Jie was in trouble!
Carrying a spear, he rushed into the Linzhang Gate rebels alone and chased Tang Jie!
Tang Jie was unable to hold his own, and the knife almost fell on his back. Qin Jing gritted his teeth and ran wildly, stabbing left and right. The spear became more domineering and sharp. He took the knife away with one shot and stabbed the pirate's neck hard. Entering, everyone else was shocked! Sun Shubo has always looked down upon Qin Jing and Yuchi, two men who were born in the early days. When they met today, Qin Jing among the thousands of troops actually had the demeanor to defeat ten thousand people!
Perhaps it was this fearlessness that infected Sun Shubo. He also laughed ferociously and continued to attack the enemy with a Japanese sword!
Unexpectedly, because of a group of young people, the direction of the entire battle suddenly changed!
A single move can move the whole body, and all it takes to swim against the current is to be brave at the head of the tide!
Qin Jing values love and righteousness, and although he despises Tang Xiangtian, he has an old relationship with Tang Jie. At this time, the hatred of the country and the family are intertwined with each other, which makes this gentle man become murderous, but it brings great misfortune to these pirates!
Upon seeing this, Liang Chuan personally rushed into the city with his men. He first met up with Gao Chun, who was defending the city, and then integrated their men into one place, leading everyone to catch up with the pirates.
The pirates' goal is very clear, take Weiyuan Tower first!
Murong Chao knew very well that once Weiyuan Tower was lost, the city would become his possession!
Weiyuan Building is also the most heavily defended place.
As soon as the war in Qingyuan broke out, Duan Peng was surprised by the slackness of the city's defense. Most of the people couldn't even put together armor. Si Fangxing, the governor of the city, was missing. The city's dispatch was in chaos. Can't organize a decent offense.
Fighting and retreating, most of the defenders in the city, except for guarding a few city gates, all retreated to Weiyuan Tower.
At this time, Weiyuan Tower was besieged on all sides. The Japanese were throwing gunpowder and torches into the building. Their intention was very obvious. If they couldn't capture Weiyuan Tower, it would be better to burn it down! Just destroy it!
Murong Chao stood among the pirates. His handsome figure looked out of place. He was the only one standing out among the crowd, with his hands behind his back.
Qin Jing rescued Tang Jie, who was covered in blood, and followed Liang Chuan towards Weiyuan Tower. He didn't care about the fire and chaos everywhere in the city, not even his own Wanda Chamber of Commerce. He didn't want to see Duan Peng lose anything. , otherwise all your long-term efforts in layout will be in vain.
The situation is critical, Weiyuan Tower is on the verge of collapse!
Liang Chuan shouted: "Dead demon, please accept your fate!"
Murong Chao couldn't attack for a long time, and he was a little anxious. Then he heard the sound of men and horses chasing him from behind. He was still calm among the thousands of troops. He looked back at Liang Chuan and said, "Young charcoal seller, I see that you are very good at talking. How long can you be brave?"
Liang Chuan didn't want to talk nonsense with him. He grabbed the weapons he picked up on the road and started to attack. But something unexpected happened again. He thought he had surrounded these pirates. He never expected that behind his team, , a large group of people came out near the East Street in the residential area. These people had no armor, but they had sophisticated weapons in their hands. They cooperated very smoothly, and their escape route was cut off in one fell swoop!
"Liang Chuan, we need to settle our old and new grudges!"
Liang Chuan took a look in the firelight and saw that the person coming turned out to be the great spice merchant Pu Geng!
Why does he appear here!
