"Kill!"
"Come on!"
"Breaking through Chang'an Town, the men will be imprisoned and the women will be made prostitutes."
One thousand officers and soldiers were divided into two groups to attack the city. The first group rushed to the front holding wooden shields and ladders.
The officers and soldiers behind raised fire cannons and fired at the city wall, mixed with dense arrows, which kept flying to the city wall.
The people had no armor to protect their bodies, and some were constantly injured by shrapnel fired from fire cannons, or injured by arrows shot upwards onto the city wall.
"Battal Commander, these officers and soldiers are so shameless, we can't remove the arrows anymore!"
Ding Xiao shot a headless arrow. Seeing that the officers and soldiers hit by the arrow were not seriously injured, he punched the city wall hard, "If this continues, I'm afraid they will attack us!"
Jiang Guanjun hesitated.
If he was just a lonely man, he would definitely kill him without hesitation and make these officers and soldiers pay the price.
But he is now the commander of Chang'an Town, and his decision affects the future of more than a thousand people, so he must be cautious.
"If we openly resist the officers and soldiers, or even kill them, it will be difficult to clear us of the charge of rebellion!"
Jiang Guanjun waved his spear and shot down several arrows flying towards him, feeling worried.
Next to him, Xu Le used a three-meter-long bamboo pole to push down the ladder with all his strength. The officers and soldiers on the ladder fell to the ground like dumplings.
"Battal Commander, stop hesitating. These are not officers and soldiers, they are clearly bandits! This group of people has bad intentions and we must not let them enter our Chang'an Town."
"Battal Commander, you can't hesitate any longer! Tian Zongren and Jiangjia Village have a bitter feud. If Tian family soldiers are allowed to enter the city, I'm afraid the villagers will suffer!"
Lu Buping was mumbling, and the bowstring he pulled with both hands was like a full moon, and he shot hard at a charging officer and soldier.
But a feather arrow without an arrow is like a tiger without teeth. The officer and soldier just fell to the ground, then staggered up and shot at the city wall with a blunderbuss.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
With the sound of intensive gunfire, gunpowder smoke filled the city wall of Chang'an Town, and bullets flew to the top of the city.
At this moment, three figures climbed onto the city wall like a gust of wind.
The person who came was none other than the mayor, Zhu Renxia, followed by Jin Zhu and Hou Jie.
Just as the officers and soldiers launched the first wave of attacks, Zhu Renxia and his party returned to Chang'an Town.
Seeing the invading officers and soldiers from a distance, he was very angry. He immediately took Jinzhu and Hou Jie around in a big circle and went straight to the north gate.
The north gate of Chang'an Town was usually not open. Jiang Guanjun was worried that officers and soldiers would attack from behind, so he ordered Zhu Junjian to lead the third company to garrison, and he was not allowed to leave his post without orders.
Upon discovering that the mayor had returned, Minzhuang on the city wall was overjoyed and immediately opened the city gate and let Zhu Renxia and the others into the city.
Zhu Renxia briefly inquired about the situation and determined that the invading officers and soldiers were sent by Tian Zongren. He immediately rushed to the south gate with Jin Zhu and Hou Jie, and happened to encounter the officers and soldiers launching an attack.
"Brothers, cum hard for me!"
Zhu Renxia took the horn bow from Min Zhuang beside him, took out a feather arrow with an arrowhead from the arrow pot, aimed at an officer and soldier who was climbing on the ladder, and shot it viciously.
There was only a "pop" sound, and the arrow hit the officer and soldier's face.
It immediately penetrated the eye socket and penetrated the head. In an instant, it was like a big bird with broken wings falling from the ladder.
"There's no need to pick off the arrows. If you can kill one, kill one. If you can kill two, kill a pair!"
Zhu Renxia threw the horn bow back, waved his hand and shouted, "Kill me as fast as you can, don't be timid!"
"Kill!"
"Shoot the fucker and you'll die!"
Following Zhu Renxia's order, the five hundred people roared like a mountain roaring and a tsunami. In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired, mixed with round rolling stones, and smashed headlong into the officers and soldiers who were attacking the city.
These officers and soldiers were so determined that the people did not dare to harm themselves, so they launched an attack without fear. Many of them had their doors wide open and did not take any defense at all.
Unexpectedly, arrows rained down on the city wall instantly, and stones fell like hail. In a moment, more than thirty people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. One by one, they fell in a pool of blood and could no longer move.
"No, the people in Chang'an Town have rebelled!"
"The people in Chang'an Town who shot and killed officers and soldiers are guilty of conspiracy!"
The officers and soldiers who had suffered a loss instantly screamed and retreated like a tide, trampling on each other, and more than ten people were injured.
"Keep shooting, teach these sons of bitches a lesson, so they won't dare to attack again!"
Zhu Renxia still had no intention of withdrawing his troops, and ordered the people to continue firing arrows from a high position, shooting down more than ten officers and soldiers.
Jiang Guanjun patted Zhu Renxia on the shoulder and said with a worried look: "More than fifty officers and soldiers have been killed in the battle, so we can't shoot anymore. If we continue to fight, I'm afraid the court will be dissatisfied and send a large army to encircle us. Get there. At that time, our Chang'an Town will be in danger."
Zhu Renxia smiled and said confidently: "Don't worry, third uncle, I guarantee that not only will the imperial court come to suppress us, but in three or four days, the Sizhou Tian family will disappear and no longer exist between heaven and earth. "
"How do you say this?" Jiang Guanjun showed a puzzled expression.
Zhu Renxia leaned into Jiang Guanjun's ear and lowered his voice: "Because Tian Zongren burned Yang Yinglong's food, which made him furious, he has sent a general named Lu Xiong with five thousand soldiers to attack Tian Zongren. "
"Therefore, I lied that our people are bandits from Wulong Mountain and can help the Yang family to destroy the Tian family and try to uproot this chieftain who is causing harm to the place. When the Tian family no longer exists, who will hold us accountable today? Resistance?"
"What's more, even if someone is held accountable in the future, we can still argue that we are protecting our homeland. Because there are a large number of bandits in the ranks of Tian's soldiers. They collude with officials and bandits and intend to loot Chang'an Town. In order to protect ourselves, we only Can be forced to kill the enemy!"
"In that case, why are you so polite?"
Jiang Guanjun suddenly had an epiphany, and the hatred he had been suppressing in his heart suddenly erupted like a volcano.
"Brothers, kill the enemy hard, it's time to show our fighting power!"
Jiang Guanjun picked up a spear, used all his strength, raised his arms and threw it.
I saw this spear flying down the city wall like an arrow from the string, carrying the roaring wind.
"Stabilize our formation and don't retreat. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
Inspector Tian Pei was riding his horse and commanding, loudly telling the soldiers to maintain their formation and not to trample on each other.
Unexpectedly, a spear fell from the sky and stabbed him in the chest with a "pop" sound.
The huge force instantly penetrated the leather armor on Tian Pei's chest, and the remaining power came out through his back.
Blood with a fishy smell gurgled out of his mouth, and he instantly felt weak in his limbs. The cool breeze rushed into his chest. His vision went dark, and he fell off his horse.
Seeing that the patrol inspector was shot and killed, the arrogant and domineering officers and soldiers were frightened. They all shouted in panic: "Oh no, Inspector Tian has been killed. The people of Chang'an Town have completely rebelled!"
"Xu Le, Hou Jie, follow me out of the city to kill the enemy!"
With Zhu Renxia's permission, Jiang Guanjun remembered the cause of his father's death, and the hatred in his heart was completely ignited.
At that moment, he picked up his gun and mounted his horse, led more than 40 old troops of the Qi family army, brandished their swords and guns, opened the south gate and fought out.
"Our brothers from Wulongshan don't be underestimated when they come in. Follow me out of the city to kill the enemy!"
Jinzhu held a scimitar in hand, turned over and stepped on Yanzhixue, and was the first to rush out of the city gate.
Ding Xiao held a long sword and was unwilling to lag behind. He led Gao Dabeard, Wang San, Xiang Si and others to swarm out, closely following the steps of the soldiers of the Qi family army.
The people of Chang'an Town were full of morale and fighting spirit. The officers and soldiers of the dead commander were disheartened and dejected. They collapsed at the first touch. They lost their weapons one by one and ran away with their heads in their hands.
However, in just half an hour, the offensive and defensive sides suddenly changed their positions.
The officers and soldiers changed from an offensive posture to running around, and the people's strongholds changed from closing the city to defending the city to chasing and killing them all over the mountains and plains. The officers and soldiers who were killed directly abandoned their helmets and armor, and there were countless casualties.
After a half-day pursuit, at least 400 Qiantian private soldiers were killed. The remaining defeated soldiers followed Zhang Wen, the pusher, and fled westward in embarrassment. They hurriedly withdrew to Liping and returned to Tian Zongren.
"Take off all the armor of the deceased and burn all the corpses."
Zhu Renxia rode his horse and commanded the rebellious army, "The people who came today are not officers and soldiers, but rogue bandits from Yunnan, intending to plunder our Chang'an Town. We were forced to fight back in order to protect ourselves."
Four to five hundred civilians agreed: "What the mayor said is that the people who invaded our Chang'an Town today are bandits from Yunnan, and there are no officers and soldiers at all."
Hundreds of civilians worked together and quickly stripped off the armor from Tian's soldiers, burned the bodies with dead wood branches, and finally dug holes and buried all the remaining body parts.
After a busy day and night, the battlefield was completely cleaned up, and Chang'an Town returned to its former tranquility, as if there had never been a war.
Zhu Renxia ordered each company to count the number of people, and finally found that only three people were killed and more than ten injured. The battle loss ratio was more than 100. It can be said that "if you don't fight, it will be enough, but one battle is astonishing."
The reasons are as follows: First, the officers and soldiers came from afar, and the strong people waited for work. They clung to the city and stood condescendingly, so they caused huge damage to the officers and soldiers.
Second, the officers and soldiers underestimated the enemy and did not take the mud-legged soldiers in Chang'an Town seriously. They were killed by surprise after encountering resistance.
Third, after the death of the patrolman Tian Pei, the officers and soldiers were leaderless, in chaos, and the order was broken. One of them was so frightened that he ran away with his head in his arms and lost the will to resist.
Fourth, the Minzhuang people had more than 40 Qi family soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles. They all played the role of one against ten, not to mention Jiang Guanjun, the "enemy of ten thousand", holding the battle.
In addition, the heroes of Wulong Mountain led by Jin Zhu are also brave and fighting for the lead.
Ding Xiao, Gao Dabeard, Xiang Si and others were not to be outdone under the stimulation of Qi Jiajun, and also exploded with huge fighting power.
Based on the above reasons, the encirclement and suppression by Tian's native soldiers collapsed at the first touch, and it turned from putting down the rebellion into a unilateral massacre by the rebels, which was really unexpected.
