Qi Duoyan gasped heavily. He waved the steel knife in his hand in despair and slashed left and right. Unfortunately, although he was brave, his fists could not match four hands.

Every time his knife was cut, there were always one or two shields or two spears. The swords fell down again and again, and they were blocked again and again. He repeated his useless efforts. At his feet were the brothers who followed him to the top of the city, but at this time they all fell to the ground, with holes and incomplete limbs.

The blood of the brothers flowed a thick layer on the top of the city, and the hem of the one-eyed clothes was wet.

Tired, and desperate.

"Come on, hawk, minions"

"Bah, I have a kind of one-on-one fight with me."

Qi Yiyan shouted angrily, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him. The local heroes only knew how to rely on the more they were bullying the few. He turned his head and glanced at the city. It was already dawn, and no one jumped up from the ladder. The brothers were retreating, retreating like a tide.

The brothers who climbed the city were almost dead. Without subsequent support, fewer and fewer brothers on the city were on the city. They were divided and surrounded by the village heroes and killed by those who bully the few.

"Come on"

Qi Duyan swung his steel knife again and cut it off. One of the township heroes raised their knives and forks, and the other township heroes were already holding a hook gun and stretching it to his feet to hook his legs.

The steel knife was forked and could not move. Qi Yiyan abandoned the knife and rolled on the spot, rolling through the blood of his brothers, barely avoiding the hook gun, but several long spears stabbed in, and Qi Yiyan, who was already close to the battlements, had no more to avoid.

Looking at the excited and smug faces of the village warriors behind the long spear, they bit their teeth with one eye, showing a contemptuous smile. "Even if I die, I will not fall into the hands of you hawks and dogs." After that, he pressed the battlements and jumped down.

A morning breeze blows by his face, and Qi Yiyan's eyes are the faces of his wife and sons. I'll meet you. Qi Yiyan smiled with a smile on his lips, closed his eyes, and let his body fall freely.

When a group of reserve members saw that the fierce thief jumped down the city at the last moment, they couldn't help but look depressed. Seeing this guy so fierce, everyone thought he must be the leader of the thief, at least equivalent to the 100th-level flag in the nine-headed bird. As a result, after working for a long time, this guy jumped over the wall by himself. It's really.

"The thief is so cruel." Several reserve members said embarrassedly, and a piece of fat that was in his mouth disappeared.

As the sky became brighter, the battle between sneak attack and ambush came to an end for the time being. The thieves retreated two miles outside the south gate to gather and rest. The Tigerhead Castle also began to clean the battlefield and take turns to rest.

However, this battle was a very beautiful victory for Tiger Head Castle.

The result of the battle was reported to the entire castle as soon as possible. A team of members rode horses, beat gongs and drums, and played suona to inform the castle over and over again.

The vendors and civilians who were asked to stay at home closed also opened the door, walked to the front of their homes, walked to the streets, celebrated with their neighbors and villagers, and bowed to each other.

They were also awakened by the sound of muskets near the early morning, but before they could go out to check, teams of nine-headed birds had already informed everyone from door to door, saying that thieves were coming to attack the city, and General Lian had led his troops to fight against the enemy, so that the African soldiers in the fort were closed at home and were not allowed to move around. After that, patrol soldiers patrolled from time to time, and everyone was nervous all night long and worried.

In fact, most people have no good impression of the so-called rebels, whether they are gentry, vendor, or even ordinary people. And so far, no so-called rebels have done anything good. They are just a group of bandits and thieves, sweeping around, and wherever they go, they are plundering or robbing.

The gentry and businessmen hated the bandits, and the people also hated them. Even if life was hard, they could still live by staying at home. When the bandits came, they would have no home.

Now that Liu Lian's general leader, the Nine-Headed Bird, finally defeated the bandits, everyone was very excited. Many shops have reopened their doors, and some even set off firecrackers to celebrate. Some shops even celebrated the defeat of the bandits. All Nine-Headed Bird officers and soldiers enjoyed 20% off shopping discounts and rewarded guests with great news. As long as you come to buy things, you can enjoy 95% off discounts within three days, etc.

The cafeteria had prepared a steaming breakfast and put it on the top of the city in a large bucket and steamer.

At the same time, the shops in the fort also united and launched a condolence and reward operation. They collected a lot of goods and temporarily raised a sum of silver to deliver it to Jiutou, thanking everyone for repelling the thieves and protecting their lives and property.

Although there were not many silver and money items, this was sent by everyone, and Liu Jun was very happy.

The shop owners of the condolence and reward group headed by Lu Weizhang were shocked when they saw the corpses of corpses being pulled to the intersection. Even those who pulled the corpses were shocked when they saw piles of corpses. These refugees who pulled the corpses were originally working on the construction site in the fort. When the thief arrived, the construction site stopped work, Liu Jun arranged them as civilians to move weapons, carry the wounded, transport the corpses, etc.

The hundreds of corpses in the north city gate urn city were transported to the Guan Gong Temple in the center of the fort, and the corpses on the top of the Nancheng city were also transported. In addition, the thieves retreated, and Liu Jun asked someone to open the south gate and transport the corpses outside the city back.

There were a total of 728 corpses piled up in front of Guan Gong Temple.

The blood was full of energy, but the onlookers were three layers inside and three layers outside. No one was afraid. Everyone was very excited, just like when the government executed criminals, there were dense crowds of people watching the prisoners at Caishikou.

Many people even appeared among the onlookers with hot steamed buns I just bought and ran to the pile of corpses to dip them in blood. It is said that human blood is a kind of medicine. Dipping steamed buns can cure tuberculosis and other things. In fact, most people do not have tuberculosis, but they all believe that eating human blood can prevent diseases and so on. They all want to dip them in some human blood and let them dip them in steamed buns.

If Liu Jun had not sent someone to stop him in time, someone might have come to cut off the meat of the thief's corpse to eat. There were even a few bold guys who actually asked the guards to buy the thief's leader's heart and fry it and eat it, which made Liu Jun disgusted.

The people of the Ming Dynasty showed cowardice, but sometimes they were very cruel. For example, when Yuan Chonghuan, a hero who was once praised by the Ming Dynasty, was later executed by Emperor Lingchi, the people in the capital rushed to watch and even rush to buy Yuan Chonghuan's meat. After buying it, they didn't even have to process and cook it, and they just ate it raw.

That's not one or two, but many people.

The battle overnight killed 728 bandits. This record was quite amazing. When the results were reported, everyone was surprised. They didn't feel it when they fought, and they felt very relaxed. They basically didn't have much effort. They felt it thunderously and beat it up. They just won.

But now, after counting, it actually killed 728 thieves.

Especially when these 728 corpses were piled in front of everyone, the intuitive shock brought by the pile of corpses was really huge.

"Have our casualties counted?" Liu Jun was quite surprised when he looked at the pile of corpses, but he just didn't show it.

"Three dead in battle, five seriously injured, and thirteen slightly injured." Zhu Yuancheng, the general general of the Central Army's flag flag, reported to Liu Jun.

When Liu Jun heard this casualty number, he felt very happy. He killed more than 700 enemies and killed only three seriously injured five. The casualty ratio was already very small. But then he thought that after this battle, he had to reduce eight team members, and he felt a little heavy. It was not easy to train a team member, and he lost eight team members overnight. How many times could his 600 people with this loss?

Last night, there was an extremely special battle. They took advantage of the thief's carelessness and defended against each other, taking advantage of the situation.

"Brothers who died in battle, help them clean their bodies, prepare their coffins, and park them in the City God Temple in Dongcheng first, and then hold a grand funeral for them after the war." Liu Jun's tone was a little heavy, "Several injured brothers, let the doctor do their best to treat them. No matter how expensive the medicine is, as long as it can be cured, he will never give up."

However, according to Zhu Yuancheng's report, even if the five team members can save their lives, they will most likely be disabled and will have to withdraw from the Nine-Headed Bird in the future.

"Send people to record the military achievements of the team members and check them carefully. There must be no omissions and errors. These are all exchanged for the soldiers' lives, and their rewards cannot be missed."

Zhu Yuancheng and other officers nodded one after another.

"What should I do if these thieves' corpses?" Zhang Shan asked. It's July now, and the weather is still very hot. The bodies are piled up here and they will smell bad if they don't take them for a day.

Liu Jun waved his hand a little excitedly, "Cut off the head, pickle it with lime, store it in the warehouse for sealing. After the war, we have to use it to report the merits. As for those corpses, they will be pulled outside the city to dig a big hole and buried it, or they will be directly pulled outside the city to burn it to ashes."

Originally, when they were just gentry armed, Liu Jun didn't care much about the corpses when he killed the bandits. But now it's different. They are the regiments of Macheng County and the local official armed forces of the court. Therefore, the bodies of these thieves killed must be preserved. Even if only one head is saved, they must be kept sealed and wait for reporting after the war, and let the superiors send someone to check. Otherwise, they would have nothing to say, without any evidence, and they would say that they would kill 728 thieves.

"I don't know if the county has received our warning message. I don't know when the reinforcements will come." Wang Qian was full of concern about the bandits camping from the second mile of the South Gate. The victory of the battle last night did not mean that the thieves were so useless.

Last night they underestimated the enemy and suffered a loss. If they came to attack the city again, they would probably not be so relaxed.

"What are you afraid of? The soldiers come to block the enemy, and the water comes to flood the earth. If the Zhuntian Leopard escapes with his tail now, we can only send them away. But if he is still unwilling to accept his confidence and wants to regain his confidence, then he is seeking death. We can kill them 72 last night, and then we can definitely kill him another thousand eight hundred in the next battle." Liu Jun said fearlessly. The battle last night fully demonstrated that although the Jiutou was a new army, it is indeed enough to defeat old bandits like Zhuntian Leopard.

If the thief does not leave, he will come again, just to give Liu Jun and Jiutou Bird heads, equipment and achievements.

The spring breeze blows, the war drums beat, who have the nine-headed birds ever been afraid of
