In the ninth year of Jingyan reign of Emperor Sizong of the Ming Dynasty, on the twelfth day of the ninth lunar month, at night, Tuoji Island was located in the north of Dakou area.
"Fourth brother, please push me here. My stomach hurts so much. I think I ate something unclean at noon, so I went to the latrine to take a quick break!" In the prisoner-of-war camp north of the hill where the militia training center is located, a guard suddenly His stomach began to feel painful, and his companion, another guard, just sneered that the other guard was lazy and peeed a lot, then shook his head and walked to the sentry post. Unexpectedly, at this moment, something unexpected happened! Instead of going to the simple hut to solve the problem of grain reincarnation, the guard who claimed to be hungry took advantage of his companion's unpreparedness and took out a short knife from his waist, stabbing it into the body of his companion who was still chatting and laughing. At the same time, in order to In order to prevent the latter from making any sound and alert the other guards, the man stretched out his left hand and firmly covered the latter's mouth. Poor flag soldier named Lao Si could not believe until his death that his companion, who had lived and ate with him for more than ten days and had a playful smile all day long and was not doing anything right, would suddenly be cruel to him! However, everything was too late. The latter was calculated mentally and unintentionally. In addition, his physique was much stronger than that of the fourth boy in the banner army. With just a sharp spin of the short knife in his right hand, all the next movements of the fourth boy were eliminated. invisible! Soon, the twitching fourth child stopped. Looking at his companion who was gradually dying in his arms, the assassin showed no sympathy or pity on his face. He just silently took out a red cloth strip and tied it tightly. tied to his left arm. It turns out that this guy is also an internal agent of the Wenxiang Sect. Today, he suddenly asked the guard captain for a shift. The purpose is to clear the way for the Wenxiang Sect mob and rebels to move forward, so that those mobs and rebels who have little combat experience can move forward. They were able to successfully break into the labor camp where prisoners of war were held!
"Come in and kill all the black dogs you encounter!" Seeing that the guard on the sentry tower had been killed by his own spy, the former Yamen officer who was responsible for spearheading the surprise attack on the labor camp, now Wen Xiangjiao General Sun Wu, could not care less. Hiding his figure, I saw this guy yelling, waving the big knife in his hand, and rushed up with more than ten Wenxiang Cult believers holding swords and sticks. Opposite him, several people were carrying bamboo whips at their waists. , the guard of the labor camp who was leaning against a big tree chatting and spanking was shocked when he saw this situation. Just as he was about to reach out to get the weapon beside him, he was hugged tightly by the vicious shark prisoner who rushed up next to him. So the next moment, several waist knives and spears pierced their bodies with a whirring sound. When the remaining guards in black saw that the situation was not good, they quickly put aside the bamboo whip in their hands and pulled out the whip from their waists. The Yan Ling Dao roared towards him!
"Wu Tazi, find a bow and arrow for yourself. Second son, you lead the brothers to fight in the front line, and hurry up to meet those bastards from the Xiang Cult! Damn it, there are more than ten people beating six or seven people, it takes so long. Those who haven’t been captured are just a bunch of drunkards and weak-legged shrimps!" He threw away the dead body of the guard and the fourth leader of the vicious sharks, Liao Guangfu, changed his original timidity and cowardice, and picked up a waist knife with a ferocious expression on his face. He took the lead and rushed towards the place where the black-clothed guard was, and around him, the pirate leader Erzi took the waist knife thrown by his companion with one hand, and also rushed towards the nearest flag guard with a ferocious expression. As for the pirate marksman Wu Dahan, a strong Jurchen man with a rat-tail pigtail on the back of his head, snatched a seven-force Kaiyuan bow commonly used by Ming army archers from the Wenxiang Sect, and shot it with a few arrows. Shoot back a group of Chiyang infantry who tried to come up for reinforcements! As long as he has a bow and arrow in hand, this guy is sure not to let the surrounding soldiers in black get closer than thirty steps! When the other prisoners of war saw that they had taken action, they also rushed to the guards with noises. One said that everyone here, including Liao Guangfu, Erzi, and Wu Dahan, had been whipped with the bamboo whips of the guards. , Therefore, when they saw someone taking the lead, they all picked up the weapons on the ground and began to complain and take revenge!
However, even in this case, there are still people who refuse to follow them blindly! At least the little pirate leader Guo Rucheng felt that the whole thing smacked of conspiracy, so he took a few pirates who joined later and found an inconspicuous place to hide, while the other one stayed where he was. But the person surprised everyone, because that person was the big swordsman, the follower of the necromancer Wan Qi, the big swordsman! It's not that this guy doesn't want to follow the pirates to kill black bastards, but his feet were sprained yesterday. Even the black guard who wanted to pick up the sword to kill Chiyang was powerless, so he could only sit on the ground and scream. No way! However, he was soon no longer upset, because when a coalition of traitors and pirates defeated the labor camp guards and followed them into the center of the town, something unexpected happened!
Just as the coalition forces, numbering more than 60 people, rushed into the center of the town, the iron-lined wooden door behind them was suddenly lowered for some reason. The next moment, many heavily armed people appeared on the originally empty fortress wall. The Chiyang infantry, some of them used firecrackers, some used bows and arrows, and even worse, some also launched small cannons, but without exception they all aimed at the rebels who were as panic-stricken as a lost dog. The mob!
"It's over, I've been fooled!" In the crowd, Celestial Master Wang Qing, who was also wearing short brown clothes, saw this situation. He didn't know yet. He had fallen into a trap and was invited into a trap. However, he knew that he had always been there in the past. Wenxiang Cult Leader, who boasts in front of the believers about how amazing his magic is and how extraordinary his resourcefulness is, is unable to come up with any solution at the moment! On the contrary, facing the dark muzzles of the Chiyang garrison's guns and cannons, this guy actually showed his unbearable side. He was afraid that the guns and bullets would explode him. Instead of taking the lead, Master Tianshi did not take the lead to rush to the horse paths on both sides and go up the fort wall to expel him. He was condescending and prepared to shoot his own Chiyang soldiers with firearms, but instead ordered all the young men to protect themselves tightly in Gaixin! It's ridiculous that this guy thinks that as long as he hides in the crowd, he can avoid the firecrackers and small cannons, and thus save his family's wealth and life. But the latter's subsequent shooting made him understand how ridiculous his thoughts were in the face of absolute strength!
"Everyone listens to a certain order, aims at the mob and prisoners, and fires a volley!" On the fort wall, the guard Zheng Nansheng waved the red flag, and dozens of people wearing iron helmets and red tight-fitting fat jackets The Chiyang infantryman immediately raised his flintlock gun and pointed the black muzzle at the stunned mob and prisoners of war in the small square of the fortress. Then he waved his hand and hit the black flag. In an instant, dozens of orange flames flashed With thick gunpowder smoke rushing out of the wrought iron barrel, the roar of the flintlock volley was heard next! The next moment, the unprepared mob and prisoners of war in the field were hit by hot lead bullets, and four or five of them were hit. When the others saw that the situation was not good, they dragged their weapons and shouted and began to run around in order to find some cover. Come and escape the lead bullets of the defenders! Of course, there were also some foolish men and women who were frightened by the power of lead bullets and stayed in place and did not dare to move. However, their actions protected themselves to a certain extent. The defenders saw that some people had given up. To resist, they targeted the mob and prisoners of war who were still running around and resisting! Because of their condescending position, these Chiyang Banner troops who had only received brief training could calmly load and launch their weapons under the command of their respective armor commanders and sentry commanders! Therefore, for a while, gunshots were heard all around the small square, sawdust and stones were flying everywhere, Wang Qing's scent-smelling church congregants, and the prisoners of war headed by Liao Guangfu were suppressed to the point where they could not even lift their heads. They did not expect that in the hands of the black-clad army, The fire cannon can be fired continuously, so one can only lie on the ground or hide under the eaves of a wooden house to avoid the hot lead bullets flying like locusts!
"Fourth Master, no, it's a tricky idea. If we don't find a way to knock out those gunmen, all the brothers will have to deal with it here today..." He reached out and grabbed a huge wooden board and covered it in front of Liao Guangfu's head. On his head, Erzi, the little pirate leader, looked at the white smoke filling the fort wall. His triangular eyes were full of cold murderous intent. Others were afraid of shooting firecrackers, but he was not afraid. This guy even thought that the smoke of gunfire was He is his best helper, because if the smoke is thick enough, it will block the sight of the defenders. Taking advantage of this gap, he has the opportunity to gather a group of flexible brothers to pass through the horse track and rush up to the fortress wall. Fight hand-to-hand with those gunmen! But how could the officers led by Chiyang and the commander-in-chief Zheng Nansheng allow them to achieve their wish? After a breeze blew away the thick smoke, a group of prisoners of war and the mob were surprised to find that a group of spearmen had unexpectedly appeared on the fortress wall and horse road. A group of fully armed spearmen holding iron spears ten feet long! Not only did they guard the only way to get to the city, but under the command of the red and black flags, they formed a strict formation and slowly squeezed towards the small square!
"Dong, dong, dong..." Just when the rioters were pushing and shoving and panicking all day long, the military drum on the wall of the village was beaten hard! And this rhythmic drum beat was like a reminder to force the mob, and the prisoners of war gathered together and quietly retreated to a seemingly safer place! However, the center of Chiyang's town is a small and medium-sized building measuring 70 meters by 40 meters. There is only a dozen or twenty steps to retreat to, with forty or fifty mobs, and the prisoners of war approach the other side. The fortress wall has red sun gunmen with live ammunition on it, as well as hot lead bullets that can kill them! So the crowd stopped next to a newly erected wooden house!
"Master Liao, if that doesn't work, we might as well surrender..." Wang Qing, the leader of the Wenxiang Sect, looked at the distance of less than a hundred meters between the north and south walls. With the help of the young boy Yu Yan'er, he used a In a sincere tone, he made a surrender request to his ally, Liao Guangfu, the fourth leader of the Fierce Sharks. This guy is just a country stick and a god who is used to showing off his words and confusing stupid men and women. He has never seen such a battle like today. , so he already had the intention to retreat in his heart, but he didn't notice that a trace of impatience and murderous intent quietly emerged on the face of his ally!
