Chapter 34 Invasion of the Villa
Li Yu and others did not immediately walk out of the forest. They hid on the edge of the forest and looked out.
This farm covers a considerable area, with a courtyard wall of more than one meter high outside, made of stone, and looks very strong and solid.
The gate of the Zhuangzi was open, and there were more than a dozen men in gray robe standing outside, wearing swords under their ribs, looking around from time to time, it was obvious that they were all guards of Bailizhuang.
After seeing this, Jin Ji retreated into Linzi, then summoned the four lieutenants of Qin Fang, Liu Kai, Wang Zheng and Chen Fang to him and whispered: "Qin Fang, you will be in charge of the overall situation in this battle."
"Yes! Sir!"
Jin Ji is very self-aware. Fighting is not his specialty. Instead of blindly commanding, it is better to hand over the command power to capable people.
Qin Fang was not polite, took the baton and immediately began to arrange: "Person Liu, your Second Regiment and my First Regiment will attack from the front!"
Liu Kai nodded and should be.
Qin Fang said to Wang Zheng again: "Person Wang, take the brothers of the Third Regiment to the open land on the left side of the village and attack from there!"
Wang Zheng had no objection and nodded heavily.
Qin Fang said to Chen Fang: "Captain Chen, your fourth regiment has only one brigade. Your unit can do guerrillas. Wherever the attack encounters obstacles, your unit will support it!"
"good!"
Soon, Qin Fang finished the offensive deployment.
He turned to look at Jin Ji and asked, "What do you think sir?"
Jin Ji smiled and said, "The arrangements made by Captain Qin are very good!"
Qin Fang raised his eyes and looked at the sky and said, "After two incense sticks, we will attack together with the whistle!"
Liu Kai, Wang Zheng and Chen Fang nodded together, and then they dispersed.
Qin Fang leaned over to Li Yu in front and whispered: "Your Highness, let's fight later. Never advance rashly, be sure to stay behind."
After a moment of pause, he said again: "We have no idea about the situation inside Bailizhuang. I observed that this Zhuangzi... is not simple."
In the deserted and rarely visited Heizang Mountain, Tianjidao can build such a huge farm. The manpower, material resources and financial resources consumed should not be underestimated.
Qin Fang had a premonition that Bailizhuang might not be easy to win.
Li Yu smiled at him and said, "Captain Qin just keeps in charge of commanding the soldiers to fight with peace of mind, don't worry about me, I have a sense of my heart."
Qin Fang grinned secretly, Your Highness, you said the same thing when you surrounded Yulai Inn last time, but in fact, you have no sense at all!
He was silent for a little, pinched out a few leaves from his waist and handed them to Li Yu.
"What's this?"
"Silver Pillar Grass."
Li Yu thought about it for a while before he got the chance. Silver Dancao is a modern mint leaf.
He asked in confusion: "What are you doing for me?"
"Report to Your Highness, the silver elixir can help you clear your mind!" Qin Fang said seriously.
“…”
I really thank you!
Li Yu took the mint leaf, pulled out one, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it hard.
The guards of Bailizhuang are very strict, especially at the gate, where there are both fixed posts and mobile patrols.
No one talks and chats, no one is relaxed and lazy. It can be seen that people with Tianjidao are well-trained and disciplined.
The patrol team walked past the main gate of Zhuangzi again. At this moment, a slight rustling sound came from the forest opposite.
The leader of the patrol immediately stopped and turned to look into the forest.
The forest is empty and there is no other sight except for the groups of trees.
Just as the guards stretched their necks and looked into the forest, suddenly, an arrow flew out from behind a thick tree trunk.
The arrows came too fast and too suddenly, and the guards were unprepared and there was no chance to draw their swords to block them.
One of them was shot in the neck, and with a puff sound, the arrow poked out on the other side of his neck.
He didn't even say a word and died on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, countless arrows were shot out from the forest, and in just a moment, more than a dozen guards were shot into hedgehogs.
With more than a dozen guards hit the ground, countless officers and soldiers armed to their teeth rushed out of the woods.
The officers and soldiers in front held tower shields, while the officers and soldiers in back either held crossbows or twisted their bows and arrows, and they all came out of the cage like tigers and rushed straight to the gate of the village.
Hearing something wrong outside, several men in gray robe ran out from the gate.
They had just emerged, and dozens of crossbow arrows and bows flew towards them.
These men were unable to resist at all, and were shot and killed on the spot by hitting dozens of arrows.
The officers and soldiers leaped over the corpses on the ground and rushed straight into the gate of the village.
Enter Bailizhuang, look forward and see an open square.
There is a wide road opposite the square and on both sides of the left and right.
On both sides of the road, there are houses and courtyards of all sizes.
After seeing this, Qin Fang took a deep breath, waved the horizontal knife in his hand forward, and shouted: "Kill!"
"kill--"
The officers and soldiers shouted in unison, divided into three groups, and rushed towards the three roads connected to the square.
Bang, bang, bang—
Soon, the alarm bell also sounded in the village.
Countless gray-robed men holding sharp swords came out in every courtyard and house. When they saw the officers and soldiers coming towards them, they looked fearless and held swords to fight.
In an instant, the personnel of both sides started a big melee inside and outside the square.
Li Yu did not rashly participate in the war. He stood at the gate of Zhuangzi and watched the battle with his feet.
The twelve guards led by Zhu Da were guarding him, and Yang Jin and Zhu Yunqiu were also near him.
Looking around, in the melee, there were a large number of people on Tianjidao, probably no less than a hundred.
But they were facing the full-scale attack of the First and Second Regiments of the Jingzhao Prefecture Army, with a total of 400 officers and soldiers.
The combat power of the Jingzhao Prefecture Army is extraordinary. As an army to maintain the public security of the capital, it is equivalent to the emperor's guards, and they are all brave and good at fighting.
In the beginning of the battle, the people from Tianjidao could still resist the officers and soldiers for a while.
But as the battle continued, the casualties of Tianjidao increased, and the situation became more and more passive. Gradually, they were completely suppressed by the officers and soldiers and retreated step by step.
The center of the battle between the two sides was gradually advanced from the square to the street.
Seeing that he had already gained all the advantages, Li Yu raised his lips and asked, "Yang Jin, where are the children held hostage by Tianjidao now?"
Yang Jin pointed directly in front of him and said, "It's all in the cellar in the front yard!"
"Take me over!"
Before Yang Jin could speak, Zhu Da hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Highness, danger!"
"It's okay!"
Li Yu could see that if this continues, the people of Tianjidao will not last long.
What he is most worried about now is that the other party is desperate and kills all the children in detention to silence them in case their ugly deeds are exposed.
He had to rescue all the children as soon as possible in order to be at ease.
Without considering Zhu Da's obstruction, Li Yu asked Yang Jin to lead the way for him to rescue the kidnapped child.
Before I could pass through the square, I heard a chaos on the left side of the village and a shout of killing came.
