Under the high wall, the minions of Dengyun Mountain set up long ladders one after another. Sun Xinshui held his shield and knife and was about to climb up. However, when he accidentally glanced down, he saw that Insight Zhen Jie Bao was still following behind him, also preparing to climb up. Climb up.
Sun Xin was furious and yelled:
"Two tough guys! What are you doing with me? I am enough for this wall!"
"You two are carrying the wood to break down the door!"
Jie Zhen Jie Bao just woke up like a dream, and hurriedly led a team of minions to carry a wooden hammer as thick as an adult's thigh and hit it towards the gate of Mao's manor.
Mao Zhongyi on the wall was completely panicked. He never expected that this group of mountain bandits could actually charge with rifle fire, and it seemed that they had fought this kind of battle more than once.
Every move he made was very orderly, and he climbed walls and doors in a orderly manner without any chaos. This made him suspect that what he was facing might not be a bandit team. Could it be that several battalions of the imperial army in Dengzhou took off their clothes because of arrears of food and salary? Did the uniform pretend to be a bandit and come to massacre and plunder the village?
Just when Mao Zhongyi was thinking wildly, Sun Xin gave a sharp shout and jumped on the wall.
As expected of Xiao Yuchi!
Although he only had a shield and a sword in his hand, not the steel whip and spear he was accustomed to, as soon as Sun Xin got on top of the wall, he immediately started killing. With the knife in his hand, he knocked down two people who came to intercept him with just one blow. The banker.
Mao Zhongyi was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly. The two dealers behind him looked at each other. One held a simple knife and the other held a long spear, and stepped forward to attack Sun Xin.
Youdao is an inch longer and an inch stronger, and it stands to reason that in actual combat, long weapons usually have an advantage, but Sun Xinyi danced the dough cards flawlessly, and staged a good show of single-handedly entering a gun in front of everyone.
I saw Sun Xin not retreating but advancing, constantly adjusting his position and pace, firmly covering his body. Several thrusts of the banker's spear were blocked by Sun Xin with his shield early, and he was slashed in the face. Sun Xin, on the other hand, rolled on the spot and protected his vital parts with a shield. He saw the right moment and swung the sword with his right hand.
Just a scream of "Ah!" was heard. The banker holding a simple knife tightly covered his broken calf. He ignored the swords and swords around him and kept rolling on the ground and howling.
This tragic scene shocked everyone, especially the dealer who used the gun. After witnessing this terrible scene, he was stunned for a moment, screamed, dropped the weapon in his hand, and ran down the wall screaming hysterically. .
His escape directly caused the Mao family's troops to flee.
The few remaining people threw away their weapons and ran under the wall. Some of the frightened bankers couldn't wait to run down and chose to jump off the wall.
Fortunately, this is just a courtyard wall built by a rich landlord, only about two meters high. If it were a real city wall, the person who jumped off would probably lose most of his life.
On top of the huge wall, in the blink of an eye, only Mao Zhongyi was left, who could not accept the scene before him. Facing a large group of vicious minions armed with swords and guns, he lost his mind and said incoherently:
"You wait...you wait are not bandits, right? I know you wait...you wait are the forbidden troops of the imperial court!"
"Don't kill me. I have money. I will give you money. My brother-in-law is Kong Mu Wangzheng! I will not report you to the court. Let me go..."
Before he finished speaking, there was only a muffled sound of "Boom!"
The door was knocked open by Jie Zhen Jie Bao.
"The door is broken!"
"Pour it in! Pour it in quickly!"
"Kill the old dog!"
The minions under the wall shouted excitedly, and like waves, they rushed into the Mao family manor from the gate.
Just in time to intercept the group of bankers who escaped from the city wall.
There was nothing to say, so the gangsters with red eyes swung their knives and started a one-sided massacre.
The leader of the team, Jie Zhen Jie Bao, each chopped down a few people. After calming down, without saying a word, he left everyone alone and went straight to the interior of the manor.
Seeing the scene of breaking in, Zou Run knew that the matter was settled. Yang Lin, Mrs. Gu and Lehe who were surrounded by him all stepped forward to congratulate him with clasped fists, saying that the leader of the village was wise and mighty, and he would win wherever he went.
Everyone likes to hear good words, and Zou Run is no exception. Just as he was about to say a few humble words, he heard a high-pitched and desperate scream from the manor, and the smile that had just appeared on Zou Run's face suddenly stopped.
"If you pass my general's orders, those who surrender will not be killed! Those who disobey orders will be killed!"
Yang Lin was well aware of the temper of his village leader. Although he thought it was a trivial matter, he did not disobey Zou Run. So he immediately ordered a few minions and rushed into the manor to deliver the order.
Sister-in-law Gu and Lehe were greatly shocked. Of course, what shocked them was not that Zou Run ordered to stop the killing, but that leaders and elders like Yang Lin obeyed Zou Run and did not dare to disobey him at all.
It seems that the leader of the village is not always a calm and harmonious person. Under his gentle smile, there is also a terrifying thunderous anger.
Seeing that the village leader was angry, the few guards left around him were all silent and did not dare to raise their voices. Even Gu's sister-in-law Lehe also stopped smiling and quietly followed Zou Run to take over this huge manor.
During the march, Zou Run's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he kept complaining in his mind that bandits were bandits. He emphasized the issue of discipline several times. Once he took control of the situation, he was not allowed to kill prisoners indiscriminately or to defeat the enemy's troops. But these gangsters , I don’t know how many times I have said this, but as long as he is away, this rule is more or less strictly enforced.
Even his uncle Zou Yuan came to him in private to express his confusion. Zou Yuan, as well as those who persuaded Zou Yuan to come, all believed that eradicating the enemy would avoid future troubles and, secondly, make the hands of the minions stained with more blood. It can improve combat effectiveness, and so on.
Zou Run cursed at this more than once.
Of course, it's not that Zou Run is the Holy Mother. After traveling so long, Zou Run's character is already very different from when he was a sailor. He has been stained with a lot of blood and human life, and his behavior is more and more consistent with the status of a mountain king.
Although he respected and cherished life, this precious emotion was directed at the innocent people who obeyed his orders and remained neutral. For those enemies who tried to murder his life and destroy his career, Zou Run became more and more heartless. The colder it gets.
The fundamental reason why he did not allow the slaughter of prisoners and the retreat of the army was actually that the knowledge of the 21st century told him that manpower is also a precious resource. Not to mention that he would have to hold a public trial later. Even after the public trial was completed, he could not just do it casually. Killing people, he has not forgotten that the island where Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi are stationed still lacks a large amount of free labor.
How can valuable human resources be simply killed?
With a stern face, Zou Run led the people through the broken door, stepped over the fallen body on the ground, and came to the messy living room with an unkind expression.
As soon as he sat down, Zou Run was about to speak when he heard a commotion outside.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Xin escorted Mao Zhongyi, and Xie Zhen Jie Bao carried Taigong Mao. Surrounded by a group of minions, they all entered the living room to perform their duties.
Seeing this scene, Zou Run's face softened slightly. At least the lives of the two ringleaders were spared, otherwise the public trial would be in bad taste.
Xu Shi had been privately pointed out by Yang Lin a long time ago. Neither Sun Xin, who had made great achievements, nor brothers Jie Zhen and Jie Bao, who had avenged their great vengeance, looked complacent and arrogant. Instead, they obediently offered up the prisoners and waited for their disposal.
When Zou Run saw this, his depression suddenly disappeared. After all, Sun Xin and He Zhen Jie Bao had just gone up the mountain, and he led his troops into battle before he was familiar with the military rules and disciplines of the village. It is understandable that he did not know this.
A smile appeared on Zou Run's face, and he acknowledged everyone's contribution in person, and said that they would be rewarded based on their merits after returning to the mountain. Then he waved his hand and ordered the Mao family and his son to be escorted down to prepare for a public trial.
At this time, Yang Lin, who was in charge of searching the house in the backyard, suddenly ran in holding a scroll and ecstatically ran in.
I saw Yang Linfu reporting in Zou Run's ear like this.
Zou Run was immediately shocked and blurted out:
"What! A sea map of Tamra Kingdom!"
