Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty

Pingding City is indeed beyond salvation.

The door hole less than ten steps deep was not filled with many bricks and stones. The bandits had already dug it once before. Only half an hour later, the door hole was hollowed out.

Two tiger squat cannons had already been placed on the inside of the door opening. As soon as they saw the other party hollow out the door opening, they hurriedly lit the gunpowder from the fire door.

The Guandi Army inside had already lay down and hid behind the raised pile of bricks and stones.

"Boom" two loud bangs, hundreds of lead bombs, iron bombs and even small stones woven into a firepower net in the small door hole. Although all the Imperial Army hid behind the pile of bricks and stones, several unlucky ones were still hit by the running jumpers.

Fortunately, the Guandi army that forced the door hole were wearing double armor, with a layer of cotton armor inside and a layer of cloth iron armor outside. The power of the refraction was greatly reduced. The Guandi army hit was only injured to varying degrees.

When the defenders were still loading ammunition for the tiger squat cannon, two tiger squat cannons were also pushed out of the door opening, saving their aim and ignited the gunpowder directly.

The defenders inside the doorway scattered and fled to both sides in a blink of an eye.

As soon as the two tiger squat cannons of the Guandi Army were spewing out the flames, two small Fran machine cannons were pushed in from behind, each with five sub-guns loaded with ammunition.

Immediately afterwards, a man wearing iron armor and a hideous scar on his face came in. It was Liu Youzhu, the battalion officer of Wudang Camp, and behind him were several Guandi Army holding long bamboo poles.

The group of defenders ran back to set off firecrackers, but when they saw two Franchise machines in the doorway, they flew away again.

While waiting for the battle, the Guandi army threw bricks and stones into the city.

Not long after, two bundles of lit firewood branches suddenly threw in on both sides, and then two cans of kerosene were thrown in. When the clay pot was broken, the kerosene inside spilled out, and a raging fire ignited on the ground and on the firewood branches.

"Cover your face with wet cloth, stick the fire in, and use bricks and stones to put out the fire!"

Liu Youzhu shouted urgently, picked up two bricks and threw them into the fire, and hurriedly covered the wet cloth hanging on his neck on his face to prevent the thick smoke from choking his nose.

The Guandi army beside him also covered their faces, holding bamboo poles and hurriedly poked the two bundles of burning firewood into the city. The defenders inside kept throwing firewood into the door, and both sides were just going back and forth.

The others flew with their hands, constantly throwing bricks and stones on the burning kerosene on the ground.

Soon, the beach of kerosene was covered by bricks and stones, and the fire was also covered. The newly thrown firewood branches could not ignite the fire.

"The musketeer comes in."

Liu Youzhu shouted, then rushed in and picked up a bundle of firewood branches, threw it to the left side outside the wall, and a scream suddenly sounded from the other side of the wall.

Other Guandi troops also followed one after another, and two tiger squat cannons and two small Franchise aircraft also pushed in, stretched out the muzzle, aimed one left and one right at both sides, and then lit the gunpowder.

After a few loud bangs, screams sounded by the walls on both sides of the door opening.

A dozen musketeers followed behind him. Liu Youzhu poked out half of his head and glanced at him. He saw that it was already in chaos outside, with casualties everywhere, and countless escapees.

"Listen, my Lord Qin just went in to get the food from the big households. This matter has nothing to do with you. Lord Qin will never make things difficult for you. After taking the food, he will give everyone a full meal. You don't have to work hard for those big masters."

"After ten breaths, if there are people outside resisting, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying that, Liu Youzhu began to count, and several gunners were loading explosives for the tiger squat cannon, while the gunners of the Fran machine cannon had already replaced the sub-gun and were ready to fire the cannon at any time.

After ten breaths, Liu Youzhu nodded to the musketeers behind him. More than a dozen musketeers stretched out their muzzles and placed a round of guns on both sides.

There seemed to be no new screams outside. Liu Youzhu looked out half of his head and saw that the defenders on both sides had run away, leaving only the bodies and wounded on the ground.

"Only outside, come in quickly." Liu Youzhu shouted outside the city.

The Guandi army was waiting outside to enter one after another, and soon filled the small door holes.

"Follow me to the wall, and the Fran cannon stay here to suppress the other defenders."

Liu Youzhu took a shield from his subordinates, glanced out quickly, and saw that there were no defenders outside, he rushed out strode.

The Guandi army behind them either held flintlock rifles or long swords and javelins, and some carried two tiger squat cannons, followed Liu Youzhu and killed the city wall along the stairs.

Seeing that the situation was not good, officials such as Yan Zhang, Shao Anxian and Shi Chengliang had already run away. Several gentry also ran away. The defenders on the city soon ran away completely.

When Liu Youzhu reached the city gate, there was no one on it.

Outside the city, Qin Chuan saw Liu Youzhu at the top of the city through a telescope, shouted "Enter the city", then turned over and ran towards the city gate.

Behind were the red-clothed servants, there were more than a thousand Guandi Army.

The bandit captives were left outside the city without anyone to take care of. Qin Chuan only told them that they would have food to wait here and there would be food for them. They would always have it in the future. They would run away if they wanted to escape, and they would choose whether to go or leave.

As a result, most of the prisoners remained, and only a very small number of prisoners who were determined to conquer the world with all kinds of kings and wanted to be founding heroes.

After Qin Chuan led the Guandi army into the city, he swept across several streets from west to east.

A very strange phenomenon occurred on Pingdingcheng Street. Although the doors of some wealthy families were closed, there were piles of grain from at least dozens of stones and hundreds of stones outside the door, and there were boxes containing white silver liang beside them.

This is the gentry and men in the city spending money to buy peace.

Seeing this, other people also took out the small amount of food in their homes and placed it at their doorstep, hoping that these chaotic troops would not rush into their homes and snatch all their surplus food.

Qin Chuan repeatedly emphasized that after entering the city, no invasion of civilians, no robbery shall be allowed, and no robbery shall be robbed in an organized and disciplined manner.

Disposal of violators in military law.

So the Guandi Army knocked on the doors of the people, asked them to take the food back, and asked them who was the landlord and wealthy family in the city, and who often did some traitors and crimes.

Not long after, a list was listed, including those who should be searched, some should be searched and beheaded, and some officials and thugs who usually serve as dog-legged officials and evil acts as evil for tigers.

After the list came out, the Guandi Army confiscated the house and killed people, and Qin Chuan led the red-robed servants to the prefect's yamen.

The gate of the prefectural yamen was open, and most of the runners of the prefecture and county yamen had fled, and most of the officers and soldiers who pacified Qianhu were surrendered near the city wall. There were only Yan Zhang, Shao Anxian, Shi Chengliang, and officials of the prefecture and county yamen.

When Qin Chuan strode into the yamen, Yan Zhang, Shao Anxian and others were dressed neatly, with black hats and official uniforms not falling off, and sat upright in the lobby of the yamen.

When Qin Chuan came in, some people were full of anger, some were trembling, and some showed flattering smiles.

"Hello, sirs."

Qin Chuan bowed to the lobby and said with a smile.

Shao Anxian snorted coldly.

Yan Zhang bowed and said, "General Qin".

Shi Chengliang and several other officials also bowed to Qin Chuan to return the gift.

"Hehehe."

Qin Chuan walked to Shao Anxian, who was sitting in the head of the lobby, and said with a smile: "This is Master Shao, is this governor? Lord Shao, can you give it up?"

Shao Anxian's face changed and he snorted angrily, but he still stood up obediently and sat down.

Qin Chuan sat on the wide chair on the head, looked around and cleared his throat: "Well, everyone, Qin has three things to do here, one is to take the heads of several officials who commit crimes and fish and meat to the people."

As he said that, Qin Chuan took out a list from his arms and started reading according to the list.

Every time he pronounced a name, the Guandi Army rushed forward and found out the target, dragged the official down.

Not long after, seven officials knelt outside the lobby, who were crying or cursing.

"cough."

Qin Chuan cleared his throat again and said, "My lords, Qin is a man who hates evil like a grudge. He has been having the same strange dream since he was a child. He dreamed of Taizu, Chengzu and other ancestors facing the emperor in turn, ordering Qin to hunt for the heavens, kill evil, and to restore the bright world of the Ming Dynasty and clear the world."

"The people who were kneeling outside were those who repeatedly commit crimes and commit crimes and were executed by the decrees of the ancestors of the sages!"

After the words came to an end, a crack sound rang out of the lobby.

Seven court officials ordered their officials to see the ancestors of the sage emperor.

The lobby was filled with screams, and all the officials were frightened and trembled. Some even knelt on the ground and begged to Qin Chuan Lianlian.

Shao Anxian's face turned blue and white, and his body shivered.

Yan Zhang's face was pale, his hands and feet were trembling, and he couldn't say a word.

Qin Chuan looked at these people with a smile and said, "The second thing Qin came here is to ask Lord Yan to write a memorial for Qin. Chen Ming's affairs today denounced the crime of gentry in the city as a disaster for the country and the people, the crime of hoarding the country and harming the people."

"Well... Qin's handwriting is too ugly, and no one in the army can do it, so there is only Lord Lao Yan."
